Chapter 21 What does Senior Sister Zuoshou Aiko like?
"Buyer, is the ramen delicious?" Niou Masaharu took advantage of the break in morning training to get close to Yukimura Seiichi and whispered devilishly.
However, their boss had no feelings that could be considered "shy." Yukimura Seiichi simply smiled and said, "It's indeed delicious. Would you like to join us next time, Masaharu?"
Ren Wang jumped away from him and said, "No, no."
Don't call him "Yazhi", it's scary.
Eating ramen and posting it in the tennis club group is no different from going to the volleyball club and posting a Yagyu message in the group.
Pure love brain.
Yukimura held up his tennis racket. The sharp-eyed Niou noticed Yukimura's right hand and asked, "What's wrong with that band-aid?"
"Ah, nothing."
It was just a small cut caused by a thorn when he was watering the flowers in the morning, but Xiaoxia insisted on using her Sailor Moon band-aid to cover it - she applied it seven or eight times, and the wound is almost healed.
Yukimura, accepting his sister's offer, began training with a Sailor Moon bandaid on his head. Seeing this, Niou felt a pang of jealousy. Not only was this guy so love-sick, but he also had such a cute sister. Thinking of his clueless brother who only knew how to fight with him for the bathroom, Niou began to lament again.
It must be because everyone is in a relationship recently, which makes him, a single guy, feel the sadness of the world intuitively.
In the volleyball hall, the attackers were practicing spiking. Five straight shots, five diagonal shots. Kobayashi An was diligently recording the scores according to the markings on the floor. A long straight shot was worth 2 points, a short straight shot was worth 5 points, a long diagonal shot was worth 2 points, and a short diagonal shot was worth 5 points.
Rika and Abe-senpai are responsible for throwing and setting the ball, while Matsumoto-senpai passes the ball.
Hayami, whose form had been off lately, was the first to proceed. After attempting two small straight shots, one out of bounds and one within the range of a large straight shot, she abandoned the challenge and finished with a more conventional five diagonal shots and five large straight shots.
Matsumoto Genkyou was undoubtedly disappointed. Once an attacker loses their drive, it's difficult for them to perform well on the court. When morale is low, it's also difficult for them to carve a path for the defense with their powerful attack.
Well—maybe she'd been spoiled by Yuihara Kaoru. Just like how she'd initially wondered how the competition could become a one-man show, now she was willing to entrust her entire fortune to Kaoru.
Masuda Aiko enters the game. She's usually quite independent, rarely interacting with her teammates, aside from her classmate, Matsumoto Genon. During practice, she's often found herself alone in a corner, headphones on, completing her tasks. During games, she's also not known to ask for the ball, but if Matsumoto passes it to her, she'll be readily available.
In her line selection, there was no ripple or surprise at first, and she scored 5 big diagonal lines.
Just when everyone thought she would dunk five more times, the situation suddenly changed - she changed the center of gravity and trend of her run-up jump, and in everyone's surprised eyes, she stretched out her left arm and dunked firmly and quickly.
"pound--"
An absolutely small straight line, a natural skill only left-handers have.
Everyone applauded spontaneously.
Masuda glanced at Yuihara Kaoru. The anger in his eyes was tangible.
Don't think...you're the only one who cares about the competition!
Xiangcheng received the fighting spirit from Masuda Aiko and couldn't help but feel eager to take action.
Masuda Aiko completed five small straight lines perfectly. "Yeah! I want to try it too!" Yuihara Kaoru rushed to the three-meter line.
And then—she, who couldn’t use her left hand at all, was punished to kneel on the sidelines, and was also pinched in the face several times by the dear minister.
"I said, if you don't know how to use it, don't take the risk and try it!"
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
Li Xiang rubbed her forehead helplessly: "Why does Xiangcheng always do outrageous things when everyone thinks she is so reliable?"
Abe-senpai looked at Xiangcheng, who still showed no remorse and said, "She looks like she's very vulnerable to provocation. Aiko will control her to death."
From today on, I'm a left-handed person! Covering her face, Yuihara Kaoru secretly made up her mind, imagining the day when she could alternately spike the ball with both hands - it would be super cool! Then she would definitely shock Aiko-senpai. Of course, before shocking her, she would have to find a teacher to learn from. So what does Aiko-senpai like?
With this question in mind, she returned to the classroom, her cheeks flushed and her face distracted.
"Did...something happen?" Yukimura asked cautiously.
Xiangcheng shook her head at first, then thought about the question and asked, "What gift should I give someone if I want to please them but don't know them well?"
Yukimura was silent for a long time, so long that after getting no answer from Xiangcheng, he waved his hands in front of his eyes and said dejectedly, "I forgot. You are so popular, you should not have encountered such a thing before."
"What should I give?" Should I search for popular gifts online? Or... I almost forgot, I can just ask Matsumoto-san!
Having made a decision, Xiang Cheng was delighted, her mind filled with the pride of having successfully mastered this trick. Then she patted Yukimura and said, "Don't worry! I've thought it through~"
"So, what are you going to give me?"
Xiang Cheng winked mischievously: "This is a little secret. I will definitely surprise you when the time comes!"
"Look at someone with new eyes..." The last time he heard that word was when she said she wanted to find eight boyfriends. Yukimura felt a little irritated. Things that were beyond his control... always made him uneasy.
What's more, after the class finally ended, Yuihara Kaoru rushed out of the classroom faster than the teacher.
She quickly found Class 2A, where Senior Matsumoto was sitting upright in her seat, with several girls scattered around her, talking about something.
Xiangcheng waved vigorously at the front door. Before Matsumoto Genyin noticed her, she heard an impatient male voice behind her: "Hey, don't block the door."
"Sorry!" Kaoru took a step back, and Matsumoto Genon also noticed her. The boy, hands in his pockets, walked past her and glanced at her sideways. Yuihara Kaoru's danger radar forced her to take another step back - this boy, with a melancholy shimmer and hair covering his forehead, had a dangerous look in his eyes.
But he reacted faster than Matsumoto Gensune. He suddenly turned to face Xiang Cheng and said in a low voice: "I know you, Jieyuan Xiang Cheng - my name is Nishikawa Kai."
"Ah?" Xiangcheng couldn't help scratching his head. What was he doing?
The boy didn't expect her to reply, so he turned around and walked away. Matsumoto Genyin pulled her to the corridor window and said, "Ignore that person. He's very dangerous."
Xiang Cheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! I'm a little scared~"
Matsumoto Xianyin pinched her face again: "Why are you looking for me?"
Xiangcheng leaned over to see that Masuda Aiko wasn't in the classroom, so she looked around the hallway, getting very close. "What does Aiko-senpai like? Is there anything I can give her to teach me how to play left-handed?"
Matsumoto Genon smiled faintly, "Aiko is a rare ambidextrous player. Honestly, I've never seen her do this before today. Of course, if you're asking about her hobbies, Aiko really likes a left-handed player, also a high school student, known as one of the 'three best high school spikers in the country,' Ushiwaka, Ushijima Wakari."
"Okay! I understand! Thank you, Senior~" Xiangcheng bowed and went downstairs happily. Confused, Masuda Aiko approached and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm not sure, maybe I'll chase you, or maybe I'll chase Ushiruka~"
"Ah?" Masuda Aiko's face, which rarely showed any expression, showed even more confusion.
"Ushiwaka, Ushiwaka, Ushiwaka..." Afraid that she would forget, Yuihara Kaoru kept muttering all the way back to the classroom, and also wrote the name on a note - Ushiwaka, Ushijima Wakari.
Not surprisingly, Yukimura and Rika performed a pupil earthquake.
"Does Renji know... Ushijima Wakari?" Yukimura asked cautiously during lunch. After a moment's thought, Renji Yanagi said, "If you're talking about a volleyball player, then there's only one person who fits the bill."
Ushiwaka, the absolute ace of Shiratorizawa, a powerful school in Miyagi Prefecture, is one of the top three high school main attackers in the country and an official setter for the national youth team. He is currently in his second year.
"I see..."
"Flatter", "don't quite understand", "gift", "Ushiwaka", these words suddenly flooded into my mind, as if forming a perfect closed loop.
It seems that Yuihara Kaoru is not the only one who wants to know who "Ushiwaka" is.
After the club work was over, Xiangcheng was the only one in the gym to continue training. Today, she had given herself a new task: practicing spiking the ball against the wall with her left hand.
Still failing again and again... This is what her coach criticizes her for the most, she always takes it for granted to try things that are not in her training plan.
But it’s really fun!
Undeterred, she retrieved the volleyball again and again, then continued the same movement. Why was it so difficult to use the standard posture of her right hand with her left hand? If only she had the intention to become a "double-sword flow" when she was young.
When Yukimura and the others were asked to go home first today, Yukimura did not refuse, but he looked unhappy for some reason.
But not having to waste other people's time means there's no burden! Xiangcheng thought to herself that she'd have a good chat with Yukimura tomorrow so she could go over all the projects thoroughly tonight.
Yukimura was a little distracted and had to be called by Niou several times before he reacted.
"It's raining, Yukimura! What are you thinking about?"
It was raining... The wind carried the raindrops across his face, gradually increasing in size. Yukimura pulled his umbrella from his bag, opened it, took two steps, and then stopped.
"You guys go ahead, I'll... go back for a bit." The black umbrella obscured his expression, preventing the other three from seeing anything. But Yukimura had only one reason to go back...
Yanagi Renji said from a few steps away, "It would be better if you ask Yuhara Ushiwaka about this yourself. It might not be what you imagine."
Yukimura was stunned, as if a huge stone had been lifted off his shoulders, and said "Okay".
Walking back, I called my family and was quickly let in by the security guard. I arrived at the volleyball hall smoothly, and peering through the half-open door, I saw the same tireless Yuihara Kaoru.
Yukimura walked down the steps to the doorway, pulling his umbrella back slightly to reveal the rainy scene before him. A cold breeze, carrying a drizzle of rain, blew into the umbrella, seemingly calming his restless heart.
He obviously only has tennis left.
But Jieyuan Xiangcheng was really a meteor that suddenly hit him. Because it was too bright, he invisibly forgot many things.
