Chapter 64 Corny Pickup Lines

Mitsui stood up straight, a beaming smile on his face. "The garden is nice too...it's fragrant everywhere!"

Sakuragi blinked his clear, bright eyes, asking curiously, "What's so interesting about exploring a garden?"

Miyagi hurriedly jumped up and covered Mitsui's outburst of lewd words—if Kanon, that brother-obsessed girl, knew that Mitsui had corrupted Sakuragi, ten Mitsuis wouldn't be enough for her to beat up.

"Enjoying flowers in the park together is such a romantic thing... hahaha!"

Sakuragi rolled his eyes at the two of them and dashed off to the open-air balcony.

The sky was dark, and countless stars twinkled.

Hanon is very busy.

The data of the twelve players needs to be analyzed and organized, and a specific training plan needs to be developed.

To ensure outstanding training results, she repeatedly performed the same operations every day during this period to explore the players' limits and discover the team's best potential.

The two strolled hand in hand through the garden, occasionally looking up at the sky to admire the night sky dotted with countless stars, enjoying a truly pleasant moment.

Hanon asked, "Can't you sleep because of the change of environment?"

Rukawa Kaede replied calmly, "No."

Hana's voice rose in pitch: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

I want to see you, I want to be alone with you.

Rukawa Kaede pulled Kanon's other hand over and placed it on top of her dark head.

He was remarkably composed, his voice soft: "You're all I can think about."

After speaking, he even gently nuzzled his head, releasing the overwhelming emotions in his heart.

His romantic history was a blank slate; she was a sudden burst of vibrant color in the darkness.

Rukawa Kaede's world is simple and pure; he focuses on playing basketball and spends all his other time thinking about Kanon.

Hanon is quick to prioritize, while Rukawa is a little beast who has just tasted the sweetness of love.

If the animal trainers don't come to him, he'll go to them on his own.

Hana's eyelashes trembled slightly, stunned by his unexpected cheesy pickup lines.

These words, spoken by Rukawa Kaede and coupled with his serious expression…

It's so cute.

She ruffled his hair and couldn't help but laugh, "Where did you learn such sweet talk?"

When I first met Rukawa Kaede, he was always very calm and rarely showed any emotional fluctuations, as if he was naturally indifferent to emotions.

Now, he has shed all his aloof and indifferent facade, revealing a subtle gentleness that needs to be carefully appreciated.

Rukawa Kaede looked slightly confused: "I didn't learn from anyone."

Is expressing your true thoughts the same as sweet talk?

Hana chuckled softly, her hair cascading down her back, the evening breeze gently blowing a strand of hair behind her ear forward.

Rukawa Kaede stared at her without moving, his expression unconsciously relaxing. He slowly reached out and, mimicking her, gently tucked his loose hair behind his ear.

Just like she always is—

When training sessions go on for a long time and her vision is obstructed by loose hair, she will gently hook it behind her ear with her finger.

He saw it clearly several times and thought it was very beautiful when she was focused on instructing the players and then flipping her hair.

Rukawa Kaede looked at it for two seconds, his heart skipped a beat, and he opened his mouth: "I can..."

"Hey, what are you three doing squatting here?"

Just then, Ayako's clear voice came from above.

The two looked up at the same time and saw three large heads neatly hidden in the gaps in the railing, with a pair of eyes peeking out and looking at them.

Hanon was completely confused: "What are you doing?"

Ayako understood, staring at the three idiots of Shohoku with a half-smile, as if looking at ignorant children.

Miyagi scratched the back of his head. "Aya! We're looking at the stars!"

Then a loud shout came from upstairs: "Yes! Sister, come quick... let's come and see the stars together!"

The voice coming from Sakuragi, trying to sound cute.

Hanon mercilessly exposed her lie: "Hiding in the gaps in the railing to look at the stars, huh?"

Mitsui exclaimed enthusiastically, "It's much more interesting to look at it this way!!"

Hehehe…

Sakuragi waved enthusiastically at Rukawa, his face radiating an unprecedented level of passion.

"Come on, you stinky fox... Rukawa Kaede, let's come look at the stars together!"

Rukawa Kaede didn't react much, but simply looked away and said to Kanon, "Get some rest. I can help organize the training data, so you don't have to work so hard."

After confirming their relationship, he was eager to interfere in everything Kanon did.

"good."

The two entered the residential area and went to the boys' dormitory floor, where the terrace was already empty.

Watching Hanon go upstairs, Rukawa Kaede walked to his dormitory, leaned against the door, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Want to watch the stars together?"

whispering sound!

Sakuragi glared at Rukawa, as if to say, "Don't you know your place? Who would want to watch the stars with that stinky fox!"

He covered his head with the blanket, too lazy to pay attention to Rukawa Kaede.

Miyagi sighed and nudged Mitsui lightly with his shoulder: "Mitsui suddenly said he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. Although his physical indicators were normal after training last night, we were worried that he wasn't feeling well, so we quickly helped him in."

Mitsui cooperated by leaning against the bedside, feigning a sickly appearance: "Well, senpai feels like you're getting altitude sickness."

Rukawa glanced at him expressionlessly. "The training intensity tonight wasn't high, and we spent less than a day in a low-oxygen environment."

Mitsui's smile froze; he instinctively knew that this brat wouldn't say anything nice.

Rukawa Kaede said coldly, "Senior, you should retire when you get old."

Mitsui suddenly sat up abruptly, leaping out of bed: "I was just sleepy and a little sluggish for a moment, it's definitely not because I was feeling unwell!!"

Then he bounced around a few times: "Look, I, the Flame Man, am in excellent physical condition! What's a little bit of training intensity tonight? What's a little bit of low oxygen? I can keep training!"

Rukawa Kaede gave him a cold look, and after a moment, nodded, "Looks like you're alright."

Mitsui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, let's practice shooting more."

Mitsui was dumbfounded. "Now?!"

For Rukawa and Sakuragi, 20,000 shooting practice sessions with a high accuracy rate were no longer enough. Whenever they had time, the two would continuously improve their skills.

Seeing his hesitation, Rukawa deliberately paused, causing Mitsui's heart to skip a beat as well. "You can't do it?"

Mitsui uttered each word clearly, "No, I can do it!"

How could the Flame Man possibly be no good!

He stretched out his left arm and hooked it around the neck of the trembling Gongcheng beside him: "Xiao Liang, with such a good thing happening, I can't forget you. Come on, let's practice together!"

Miyagi's expression fell. "Huh? I guess I don't need it?"

Rukawa Kaede said coldly and without any emotion, "You can't do it either?"

Miyagi forced a smile: "No way, I'm great! I'm really good! I practice! I love extra practice!"

After saying that, Miyagi walked over, lifted Sakuragi's blanket, revealing his upturned monkey butt, "We really can't forget about such a good thing as extra training, bro!"

Sakuragi sat up straight, puffed out his chest, and declared with utmost loyalty: "Genius is no problem!"

Rukawa Kaede nodded, picked up his sportswear, and went to the locker room.

Mitsui immediately collapsed onto the bed, his voice lowered, "That Rukawa brat! He went too far!"

Miyagi sneered, "That kid holds a grudge! He's getting revenge for interrupting his date!"

"On the other hand, I really didn't want to do extra practice! It's all your fault, mistress!"

"Hey, what does this have to do with me! You're the one standing on the front lines of gossip! And I'm warning you, don't you dare call me a mistress!"

Sakuragi was still sullen, her voice undiminished, "I really don't understand what's so great about that stinky fox! His only talents are playing basketball and sleeping! Why would my sister like him!"

The three were wailing and protesting when they saw Rukawa Kaede come out, and they immediately fell silent.

Rukawa Kaede's face remained expressionless as he said, "I have other special skills, and Yinyin will know about them."

Sakuragi looked bewildered: "What do you mean??"

Mitsui's mouth was half-open: "...Caught off guard!"

Miyagi covered his forehead: "...Am I going to have to share a dorm room with this kid for the next month?"

…

"Why aren't you guys asleep yet?"

The four people who were practicing in the middle of the session all turned around at the same time.

Seeing Hanon, Rukawa Kaede collected the ball and jogged over: "Why aren't you resting?"

Hanon laughed and said, "I saw the lights were on in the gym, so I came over. Why are you guys still practicing?"

Rukawa Kaede replied with his usual indifference: "Bring them here for extra practice."

Seeing the admiring look that Kanon gave Rukawa, the three lemon brothers huddled together for a little meeting—

Sakuragi, with a potato-like face, started muttering, "That stinky fox is always trying to seduce my sister! He deliberately puts in extra practice to show off his talent and hard work! My innocent sister is no match for him!"

Mitsui scoffed, "He's all talk to the juniors about 'why aren't you resting,' but to us he says 'you can't do it without extra practice.' I've really had enough of this first-year basketball slut!"

Miyagi scratched his head, raising his eyebrows: "Bringing them here for extra training? That sounds a bit odd! It sounds like the kind of cunning fox who tries to sabotage others!"

It's like, they wanted to slack off, so I dragged them in for extra practice.

Hanon was both amused and exasperated.

Why are you speaking so loudly? Are you afraid she won't hear you?

The fox shrugged indifferently, a clear innocence in its narrow fox eyes.

Hua Yin pinched his handsome face and then said to them, "Practice for another half hour, and then go to sleep."

Rukawa Kaede nodded obediently: "Mm."

The three idiots of Shohoku thought to themselves, "Rukawa is so lucky to have found such a gentle and understanding girlfriend!"

Immediately afterwards, they saw Hanon warming up.

The Four Handsome Men of Shohoku: ?

Hana's eyelashes curved: "Today I'll teach you a 20-minute training method."
