Chapter 56 Chapter 56.
Yukimura and his team ultimately failed to defeat Nishikawa's team.
However, Xiangcheng had a new discovery and said to Lixiang, "You know what, boys playing basketball really are very handsome."
Li Xiang's eyes widened: "What? Are you against Nishikawa?"
Xiangcheng was furious: "I'm talking about Yukimura, Yukimura!"
"Oh~" Li Xiang pretended to react: "Is that so~"
Xiangcheng, who was fooled again, pouts and keeps silent.
Yukimura saw this state of Xiang Cheng after the match. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Before Xiangcheng could say anything, Rika quickly summarized the key points: "Xiangcheng said boys who play basketball are handsome."
"Really?" Yukimura smiled kindly, and Xiangcheng had to jump up and down to explain: "I'm talking about you, Rika insisted..."
"Oh~tsk tsk tsk," Ren Wang took a sip of his drink and joined the team. "What about me?"
Xiang Cheng nodded randomly: "You are handsome too, you are handsome too!"
Niou and Rika were laughing happily. On the other side, Nishikawa Kai stared coldly at what they were doing.
What an eyesore.
A few people were in a good mood and chose to go watch Sanada's football game.
The amazing thing is that most of those who cheered for Sanada were second- and third-year students, Rika said. It was probably because Sanada was too steady and won the favor of the older students.
Sanada's leadership ability was fully demonstrated in the team competition. His endurance was fully utilized in this 90-minute game, and he contributed three beautiful goals for his team.
Yukimura leaned close to Kaoru's ear and asked, "Kaoru, do you think boys who play soccer are handsome?"
Xiangcheng twitched her ears, her instinct telling her the question was a trap, so she answered firmly, "Not handsome, hahahaha!"
"Oh, so only boys who play basketball are handsome, right?"
ah?
How can I get this question wrong?
Xiangcheng righteously reframed his words: "No, no, I think you look better playing basketball."
"Hmm...so you don't like playing tennis?"
Xiangcheng was stunned. Why was this problem so confusing and so bottomless?
So she replied again: "No, you look great playing tennis, right?"
Yukimura sighed deeply: "I still feel it's so perfunctory."
Xiangcheng began to pretend not to hear.
It’s hard to explain to someone who has eight hundred schemes.
Finally, all the small projects were over, and it was time for the Red vs. Blue competition. Xiangcheng, having already earned the credits, decided not to participate and just took photos everywhere with her phone.
Although her photography skills are limited, she still managed to capture some funny scenes such as three-legged race or horse-riding battles.
What got everyone collectively excited was the final teachers' fun race - the physics teacher, who usually looked like a calm old man, ran very fast and almost caught up with the principal. Fortunately, at the critical moment, his workplace radar reminded him, so he didn't do the speechless incident of crossing the finish line in front of the principal.
Their lovely class teacher, Miss Kinomoto, was determined to challenge the three-legged race and was almost half-carried and half-carried by another teacher to the finish line.
It was not until after five o'clock that all the games were over, and the big screen in the stadium announced the ranking of the class against the red and blue teams.
Xiangcheng's class won third place, which is among the best among the 20 classes participating in the event.
After the sports festival, life seemed to return to normal.
Yukimura's doubts were gradually relieved after the midterm exam.
It seems that the orange will not be transferred away.
And judging by the abundance of meals she's been bringing lately, Xiangcheng's grandmother has integrated well into life in Kanagawa.
This sight cheered him up again.
For Xiangcheng, after finally passing the exam, the next most exciting thing is the Spring High School preliminaries.
Thanks to their ranking in the last IH competition, they, like Shonan, qualified for a bye in the first round and also had the opportunity to observe their opponents in the first round.
Everyone in the volleyball team seemed so excited. Harukakao used to be just a distant dream for them, but now as long as they can ensure that they are in the top two in Kanagawa, they can enter the national competition.
Therefore, when Teacher Misaki and Genon Matsumoto said that everyone should start extra practice, everyone agreed without hesitation.
It seemed as if everything was back to the days before the IH competition, training, studying, training again, and practicing more after returning home.
The regular life allows Xiangcheng, who doesn't like change, to relax deeply from the inside.
She seemed to be getting further and further away from the pain of the previous few months, and seemed to be certain of something in her heart.
Taking out the French book that had not been touched for a long time from the display cabinet, Xiangcheng opened the first page with great interest and began to read slowly according to his notes.
It turns out that once you learn a language, you have to use it. I have already forgotten a lot of it.
Xiangcheng made a secret decision.
When she walked into the classroom with Yukimura the next day, Xiangcheng felt that her classmates were staring at her strangely.
It made her steps towards her seat slow down.
She looked suspiciously at Hayakawa Yuka, who was sitting very close to her. The class monitor coughed and moved away a little. There was a pink envelope on her desk.
Xiangcheng didn't understand what it was, so she walked over and picked it up curiously - there were only two words on the outside of the envelope: "Love Letter".
Hayakawa Yuka looked at Yukimura's expression and then said, "The student on duty found this letter on your desk before he came to clean."
"Oh," Xiangcheng turned the envelope upside down, looking for where to open it.
Seeing her serious look, Yukimura asked, "Kaoki... do you want to open it?"
Xiangcheng tried to pick it up from the end of the letter, but the glue quickly broke it a little. She withdrew her hand and replied, "I want to see who wrote it."
Yukimura said, "If you open it, you will have to write back to them."
"Really?" Xiangcheng held it further away: "I was wondering if I should return it, but forget about replying."
"What? What love letter?" Li Xiang rushed over and screamed after seeing the envelope: "Wow! Is this written for you, Xiangcheng?"
Xiangcheng scratched his head: "Although it's on my desk, it doesn't necessarily mean it's for me, mainly because there's no signature..."
Li Xiang's words "I'll help you take it down" were shrunken back in Yukimura's eyes, and he asked angrily, "So what are you going to do now?"
Xiangcheng shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.
Li Xiang asked in surprise: "Isn't this the first time you've received a love letter?"
Xiangcheng shook his head again, then nodded.
Rika: "What does this mean?"
Xiangcheng replied, "At Rikkai University, that's my first time."
"Hmm? So Xiangcheng has received it before. Did you reply?" Yukimura looked at the annoying paper dangerously.
Xiang Cheng chuckled: "That was just a joke, it doesn't count~"
"So," Yukimura confirmed again, "what are you going to do?"
"Send it to the lost and found?" Xiangcheng said uncertainly.
Seeing Yukimura's visibly improved mood, Rika couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you're really going to be famous."
"What else can I do... I don't feel good about throwing it away."
Yukimura held out his hand: "Give it to me."
"Huh?" Xiangcheng wondered what logic this was, but she still handed it over to Yukimura.
Yukimura finally felt relieved, but then he realized that this thing was really hot.
He always had to know who it was.
Immersed in training, Xiangcheng soon forgot about the incident. When Rika brought it up again, Xiangcheng said, "I don't think writing a love letter can be considered love. I probably don't even know the person, and we have no connection. This behavior can only be called a nuisance."
Li Xiang nodded: "That makes sense. If you like someone, you should be like Yukimura, right——"
Xiangcheng smiled and rarely refuted.
This surprised Rika a little, but then she thought, how could she not notice anything?
After receiving a call from his staff, Yukimura returned home and logged into his computer, where he found a call-up from the U17 team in his mailbox.
Another month of training, followed by participation in the World Championship.
Yukimura took out the calendar and counted the days - they wouldn't be back until around New Year's.
He took out the letter from the top drawer of the desk. He had already opened the envelope and read the contents.
He suddenly felt very eager to prove something and to have one less thing to worry about before the training camp.
Then he took out a familiar little box, put on his coat, and when his mother asked him, he said "I'm going out for a while" and hurried out.
Xiao Xia looked up from the pile of toys in confusion. Did something just run past?
Yukimura's mother returned to the kitchen helplessly. Who knows whether the child will still eat? What a shame.
As soon as Yukimura's father got off work, his son went out like the wind, but he didn't seem to see him. He showed the same puzzled expression as his daughter - what happened?
Yukimura ran for a while, then stopped and walked slowly.
He opened the small box in his pocket, touched the items inside, and began to hesitate again.
He can't be impatient.
Two months of closed training is really too long, even if... it's not fair to Xiangcheng.
He turned around and thought carefully, what should he say next?
"Eh? What's wrong?" Xiangcheng came downstairs wearing a training suit and holding the little monster in his arms.
Yukimura smiled and picked up a cat hair from her mouth, then slowly said: "Starting tomorrow, I will go to the training camp again."
"So I wanted to see you before I left."
Xiangcheng propped up the monster that was about to fall: "Huh? How long are you going to be gone?"
Yukimura's voice lowered: "At least... two months."
"Two months?" Xiangcheng was surprised: "That long?"
"Yeah," Yukimura smiled again, as if he was very satisfied with her reaction: "It's been that long."
Xiangcheng fell silent. The news came too suddenly.
Yukimura pinched the small box in his pocket, but ultimately didn't take it out. He simply warned, "So...pay close attention in physics class, don't train too late at school, and take care of yourself, okay?"
Xiang Cheng burst out laughing: "I'm not a child anymore!" Then, under Yukimura's serious gaze, he said seriously: "You don't have to worry about me so much."
Yukimura sighed. He had originally had the impulse to go out, but now he didn't know where to start.
Xiangcheng, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well... I've signed up for French classes again."
Yukimura's eyes lit up.
