Chapter 30 Dream Am I a monster in your heart?
The hallway, lit only by the emergency exit lights, was hushed in the darkness. It seemed as if the only sound was Yukimura's rapid breathing.
His breath blew the strands of hair from Xiangcheng's temples across their necks. Xiangcheng was startled and started struggling, but the boy's arms were so strong.
Xiangcheng didn't dare to speak loudly, so she patted Yukimura's back and said softly, "Hey... people who sleepwalk don't have that much strength!"
Yukimura buried his head in her neck and laughed secretly. The vibration made Xiangcheng even more certain - Yukimura must be awake!
Using all her strength, she finally broke free and angrily said, "You've gone too far!"
Yukimura raised his hands innocently, as if surrendering, without any intention of defending himself.
Yuihara Kaoru was really a little angry, but she couldn't figure out the reason for her anger. Was it because Yukimura pretended to sleepwalk to deceive her, or because of Yukimura's sudden hug?
Yukimura then took a step forward, his tone a little low: "Since I've moved to a new place, I haven't been sleeping well, so I sometimes sleepwalk..."
But I didn't expect that I would find you even when sleepwalking, and be gently led back by you.
Even in my dreams, you were the one holding my hand as we walked through dark night after dark night. I thought it was all a dream, but it turned out to be reality.
So I want to... hold you tighter while you're defenseless.
Xiangcheng, however, didn't buy it. She was still fuming, "I'll just assume you were sleepwalking, but hugging, damn!"
"Okay," Yukimura looked her in the eyes, "I won't do that until you agree."
"That's more like it—" Xiangcheng also looked at him: "You won't sleepwalk again tonight, right?"
Yukimura spread his hands softly and smiled: "I don't think so."
"It's better this way..." Xiangcheng complained, remembering the moment she first spotted him last night. "You know, when I looked up and saw you standing there in a daze, I almost thought you were possessed! I wanted to run away, but you kept following me."
Although he couldn't recall what he looked like when he sleepwalked, Yukimura still tried to imagine it, then covered his forehead with his hands: "It must have been very embarrassing."
"That's not the case," Xiangcheng said comfortingly, seeing him embarrassed, "You're the most well-behaved Yukimura I've ever met, except that you're a little scary..."
"Okay, I understand..." Yukimura didn't dare to think about it, and quickly said, "No need to say more..."
Xiangcheng laughed and held up the two phones in his hands: "Go to bed!"
Yukimura walked her to the stairs, and after watching her climb a few steps, he suddenly called her again in a low voice: "Xiangcheng..."
Xiangcheng turned around and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
"Thank you...and it feels good to have you around."
Xiangcheng muttered softly, "Why are you saying that? It's so corny."
Yukimura smiled, "Good night, Kaoru."
"Bye!" Xiangcheng escaped from his sight in a few steps.
"You're such a jerk! You're actually meeting a stranger!"
As soon as Xiang Cheng entered the room, she was confronted with questions from Sakurai Rika. Xiang Cheng was confused: "What outsider? What secret meeting? And didn't you sleep a long time ago?"
Li Xiang opened the chat interface on her phone and pointed it at her face: "Look! This is a high-definition picture!"
Xiangcheng stopped her shaking hands and looked carefully. She didn't know who had taken a picture of her and Yukimura at the end of the corridor - it was strange, she clearly didn't hear the shutter sound.
Li Xiang turned on the night light beside the bed and carefully observed her expression: "Tell me the truth, how far have you and Yukimura progressed? Have you confessed? Who said it first? - Yes, it must be Yukimura. You are absolutely not that kind of material. What else did you do? Tell me quickly."
Xiangcheng had a "are you kidding me" expression on her face: "What are you talking about? Yukimura..." But then she remembered that sleepwalking is a private matter so she decided not to talk about it.
She organized her words carefully: "In short, the scene you imagined did not happen at all. We are just good friends."
Sakurai Rika stared at her questioningly, and showed her the screenshot of the chat in the tennis club's regular group sent by Yagyu, in which Marui Bunta was acting crazy online.
[Marui Bunta]: What should I do! They went out on a date and just came back now! What if the coaching staff catches them? Yagyu, you don’t even dare to go out with Sakurai!
[Marui Bunta]: It's over! What should I do if Yukimura gets expelled from the training camp because he's obsessed with women?
[Marui Bunta]: Ahh ...
[Niou Masaharu]: Phew, calm down, Bunta, you look like a Yukimura fan!
[Yanagi Renji]: Thanks for the pictures. Could you please tell me the specific time?
[Marui Bunta]: You guys don't even care about this issue? It's so heartbreaking!
[Niou Masaharu]: Eating melon.
[Yanagi Renji]: Eat melon +1.
[Sanada Genichirō]: Eat melon +2.
[Bunta Marui]: It’s over...Sanada is...heartbroken.jpg.
Rika put on an expression that looked like she was waiting to see how you would explain it. Xiangcheng scratched her head and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding. Besides, Yukimura is so devoted to tennis, he definitely wouldn't consider this issue."
Lixiang thought, it might have been the case in the past, but now, it’s rare for him to find someone as persistent as you.
Xiangcheng charged her phone and went to wash up. When she came back, Lixiang was still leaning against the head of the bed, looking at her with burning eyes, as if she had something to say.
Xiangcheng had no choice but to pull back her own quilt and lean against the headboard: "Hurry up and tell me, my Lixiang, and then go to sleep."
Li Xiang smiled triumphantly: "Suppose, I mean suppose, if Yukimura fell in love with someone else, what would you do?"
Xiang Cheng thought about it carefully and said, "It's just like how I treated Xiao Hei. I am very self-conscious!"
"Xiao Hei?" Li Xiang searched through her gossip library for a long time and found this name. It seemed...
Xiang Cheng didn't have to think about it for long: "Kuroo Tielang, one of my childhood friends."
"Come to think of it... I don't really consider dating, but it has something to do with him."
What? Rika sat up perky. Could it be that—Yukimura's rival had appeared? A childhood sweetheart, a drop from the sky?
Xiangcheng recalled, "For a while, we always made plans to go to the community court to play volleyball after school. Because he always waited for me at the school gate, he met his first girlfriend, who was also one of the most beautiful girls in our school..."
Because they were all familiar with each other, Xiao Hei, Mo Mo and she went to the community court with the girl, and the girl sat aside and watched them play. But gradually, the girl became sensitive.
"The atmosphere between you three is just right! I seem redundant..." the girl said crying, and thus Xiao Hei's first love happily ended.
It was also from that time that Xiangcheng realized the completely different ways of getting along between love and friendship - so as long as she heard Mo Mo say that Xiao Hei was in a relationship, she would stop contacting him to avoid causing trouble to the girls.
Xiao Hei's reason for breaking up is also an important reason that prevents her from falling in love - every time it is basically "Go and play volleyball!"
"Oh, I see," Rika looked down in disappointment, thinking it was something else... "Then if Yukimura falls in love with someone else, you will completely lose this friendship?"
Xiangcheng hasn't thought about this plot yet.
No, maybe she thought about it, but then cleared it from her mind.
She thought that someone as determined as Yukimura wouldn't be blinded by love. However, that didn't mean Yukimura would necessarily think the same way.
What if this happened in the future? Yukimura walked up to her with his girlfriend and said, "OO-chan, this is my friend, Yuihara Kaoru. Yuihara-san, this is my girlfriend, OO-chan..."
Xiangcheng quickly slid into the quilt: "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep!"
Rika drew her own conclusions from her reaction, suppressed her laughter, and continued chatting with Yagyu.
Somehow, Xiangcheng dreamed of the day when she was injured in the hospital. Yukimura took a drawing board and insisted on drawing a picture for her, saying that he wanted to recreate her heroic look when she bravely saved the ball. She kept waiting until she was about to fall asleep, and then Yukimura said that he had finished the picture.
He picked up the drawing board, and on it was a picture of little monsters fighting Godzilla.
She was so angry that she started crying in her dream and asked him loudly, "Am I a monster in your heart?"
The scene changed, and it was Yukimura pulling a beautiful girl to sit opposite her: "Yuhara, this is my girlfriend! Are you going to block me?"
Block, block, block them all!
Xiangcheng was so angry that she sat up with a somersault. It was just dawn and Rika was sleeping soundly in the bed next to her.
Xiangcheng was so frustrated that she covered her cheeks and slapped them. When will this situation where she has dreams related to the last thing she thought about before going to bed disappear?
Unable to fall asleep any longer, she lay down again and fumbled under her pillow for two ordinary bottle caps. She threw them up and down and caught them again, like practicing throwing and catching. Gradually, she regained her concentration and finally made it until the alarm rang.
Rika's help in applying ice was of no use, so Xiangcheng started today's training plan with two big dark circles under her eyes.
Soon, when Xiangcheng started running, the only keywords left in his mind were "pace and cadence".
But as she neared the top of the mountain, she slowed down again. She told herself that she was running too fast and the senior students hadn't come up yet.
No matter how much she hesitated, she finally saw Niou Masaharu leaning against the stone wall in the shadow.
"Good morning, Nioh..."
Niou Masaharu looked at Xiang Cheng, whose steps were heavy. "Pu Li, can't you run anymore?"
"Not really," Xiangcheng replied unyieldingly, "Wait a minute, teammates."
"Oh~ is that so!" Niou smiled like a fox and winked at Yukimura who was not far away.
Xiangcheng tilted his neck back: "What are you doing?!"
"It's okay," Ren Wang reached out and turned her back, then gave her a push: "Hurry up and sprint!"
Before Xiangcheng could even finish her "Ah," she was forced to run again. She reached the rest area at the end of the race in a few steps and happened to meet Marui's eyes as he leaned against the jackal.
Marui's eyes were filled with emotions she couldn't understand. Then, he took a bottle of drink from the water dispenser and handed it to Xiangcheng.
Xiangcheng seldom interacted with him, but she only knew that he had a very good relationship with Yukimura in the tennis club, so she took it generously and said thank you.
Marui Bunta suddenly spoke again: "Last night..."
Xiangcheng almost choked on a mouthful of water and quickly explained: "It's not what you see!"
Marui's baby face lit up with a bright smile: "I already know, I just want to say...I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay," Xiangcheng said, not thinking it was a big deal. "It's okay once you talk it out."
Marui Bunta thought thoughtfully: "You are really different from what I imagined..."
"Huh?"
At this time, Yukimura came over and said, "Bunta, have you rested well?" Marui Bunta stood up straight and said, "Okay, let's go!"
