Her voice was a little flustered and her eyes darted around, not daring to meet Qingfeng's gaze.
However, her slightly trembling voice and panicked expression betrayed her true thoughts.
…
The time came to nine o'clock.
The sunlight gently sprinkled on the quiet and tidy baseball field, as if covering it with a layer of golden veil.
Kuroko and Tetsuya No. 2 arrived first.
As soon as Tetsuya No. 2 stepped onto the court, he became instantly energized, as if he had some mysterious and wonderful bond with basketball.
It ran happily around the entire court, looking as if it had been injected with stimulants, with its tail raised high and its steps light and eager, as if it was chasing an invisible happy elf on the basketball court, and every step was filled with love and excitement for this field.
Kuroko behaved extremely quietly.
He is a person who likes quietness.
He walked straight to a bench and sat down slowly, his posture upright yet revealing a sense of leisure.
He looked calmly at Tetsuya No. 2 who was playing on the court, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Suddenly, a shout reached Kuroko's ears.
"Xiao Hei..."
When Kuroko heard the voice, he looked and saw a man with yellow hair, Kise Ryota, standing at the entrance of the stadium.
With a bright smile on his face and his arms raised high, he waved enthusiastically to Kuroko, as if the whole world became brighter because of his vitality.
“Kise…”
Kuroko also greeted quietly.
Huang Lai walked quickly to Kuroko with a smile on his face, and then spoke casually.
"Wow, I didn't expect that I would be the first one to arrive. Haha, my luck today is really great!"
There was a gleam of excitement in his eyes, and the upturned corners of his mouth seemed to tell of his inner joy and pride.
After he finished speaking, the expression on his sunny face changed instantly, and he cried in a wronged manner.
"Xiao Hei...you don't know that I racked my brains to prepare a birthday present for you. My head is about to explode."
He looked just like a child asking for candy.
Seeing Kise showing off here, Kuroko's face remained as calm as water, without the slightest ripple.
"I'm so sorry, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday in person."
Kuroko's voice was low and sincere, and every word seemed to carry the gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing Kuroko's words, Kise's pretended aggrieved expression immediately turned into a bright smile as if by magic.
"Of course! My relationship with Xiao Hei is the best among all of us!"
With that, Kise put his arm around Kuroko's neck without hesitation and hugged him gently.
His face was filled with confidence and satisfaction, as if he was announcing to the world the deep friendship between him and Kuroko.
The expression on Kuroko's face remained as calm as before, but a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
“I think it’s pretty average.”
Kuroko said softly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"That's too much, stop talking like that!"
Kise said with a bitter look on his face.
Kuroko tried to get out of Kise's arms, he said as he tried to push away Kise's arms that were on his neck.
"Please let go first."
However……
"Ah...what? They haven't arrived yet! Really, if I had known I would have come later. It's all your fault, Komuro."
The slightly complaining voice suddenly sounded, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original tranquility on the field and attracting the attention of Kuroko and Kise who were laughing and playing.
The two of them subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from almost at the same time.
The people who came were Murasakibara and Himuro Tatsuya. Murasakibara's tall figure was particularly conspicuous in the sunlight. He pouted slightly, with a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face, as if an unsatisfied child was complaining about something.
And Himuro Tatsuya always had a warm smile on his face, as if he was used to seeing Murasakibara like this.
Hearing Murasakibara's chatter, Himuro Tatsuya shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly.
"It's going to come sooner or later anyway, so what's the harm if it comes earlier?"
His voice was gentle and calm, with a soothing power, trying to defuse Murasakibara's little emotion.
"So it's Murasakibara-chan! How strange! I thought the others would get here first!"
Huang Lai was the first to react. A bright smile immediately broke out on his face. He greeted Murasakibara enthusiastically, with surprise and astonishment in his eyes.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was very surprised by Murasakibara's early arrival. After all, in his impression, Murasakibara was not a punctual person, let alone arriving so early.
Snap…Snap…
Murasakibara spoke incoherently while chewing the snacks in his hand, making a crisp sound.
"Ah! It's all Komuro's fault! He insisted on coming so early, and there was nothing I could do."
He looked like a greedy child looking for an excuse for his little dissatisfaction, and his eyes showed a hint of concentration on snacks and a little complaint towards Himuro Tatsuya, which made people laugh.
Kise shifted his gaze from Murasakibara to Himuro Tatsuya, then he stared with dead fish eyes and asked with some confusion.
"You are from Yangquan..."
He knew Himuro Tatsuya, but he was not familiar with him and didn't know how to address him for a moment.
Himuro Tatsuya smiled gently, a smile as warm as the spring sun, and spoke slowly.
