Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Calling Your Name
Xiangcheng curled up in the quilt, rarely relying on juggling volleyballs to clear his mind before going to bed.
Her phone was stuck on the chat screen with Yukimura.
Before I knew it...it's been a month since we parted.
The consecutive Spring High School qualifiers this month have kept her on her toes, filling her life with a lot of training and fulfilling competitions.
It was only when I finished my morning training and reached the intersection that I remembered that Yukimura was not in school.
When she wanted to do some extra training after school, she would remember Yukimura's request for her to go home early.
They are obviously trivial matters.
Obviously, Xiao Hei used to be just like the ghost behind me, muttering a lot of similar things.
Xiangcheng sighed, and finally resigned herself to her fate and began to harass her good friend.
[Is Haruko Haruko here?]
[I have a very serious problem.]
[No, it should be very, very serious...]
[I feel like... Never mind, just go to sleep.]
After a while, she picked up the phone again without receiving a reply.
[I’ll tell you.]
[I think I like Yukimura Seiichi]
[what to do? ]
[Well, you should go to sleep, good night.]
After tossing and turning in bed several times, she looked at the unread chat box and sighed deeply.
I really can only tell her. If I tell Rika, the whole school will know tomorrow.
But even after Xiangcheng fell into a drowsy sleep, there was no notification sound from the phone.
In her dream, she sent the message to Yukimura Seiichi.
Xiangcheng sat up suddenly, and checked again with her eyes half-closed. She was relieved and didn't send it to Yukimura.
Just as she was about to continue sleeping, Mizunoe Haruko began to reply.
Mizunoe Haruko: [Yukimura shouldn't be in school right now, what made you suddenly wake up?]
Yuihara Kaoru: [What does awakening mean?]
Mizunoe Haruko: […Ah, don’t worry about the wording, just tell me how you found out.]
When?
Perhaps after seeing Xiao Xia, I regretted not having seen him as a child. After seeing his old photos, I regretted not having known him earlier.
Or, a little earlier?
Yuihara Kaoru: [It’s hard to explain anyway… but I’m really confused right now.]
Mizunoe Haruko: [Oh? Are you afraid that you'll neglect him by playing volleyball, or are you afraid that he'll neglect you by playing tennis?]
Yuihara Kaoru: [Please, I don’t even know what they’re thinking!]
Mizunoe Haruko: [If you keep saying you don't know, Yukimura will make you cry right there.]
Yuihara Kaoru launched an emoticon attack.
Mizunoe Haruko: [Orange handstand.jpg]
No? How did this emoticon end up in Haruko's hands?
After receiving the reply, Xiangcheng pulled the quilt up to cover her head again, pretending that her blushing was caused by the heat.
"Someone always asks me questions like 'Yuhara Kaoru's' hobbies when he's emotionally frustrated."
Xiangcheng laughed softly again under the quilt.
This feeling of "known" and "unknown" made her brain generate countless ideas.
Finally, she thought of Yukimura's paintings again.
The eyes of the people in the paintings can also express such rich emotions.
It seemed as if one could see how happy Yukimura was when she took the initiative to ask for a photo, but he subconsciously felt something was wrong, which made him look a little doubtful and worried.
If only... she was born in Kanagawa.
That way, it won't make him sad.
Xiangcheng thought again of the painting she drew when she was injured and hospitalized.
My first thought was - it’s really not a little monster!
She chuckled again, thinking that she had been really stupid before.
"Yukimura... Seiichi."
Xiangcheng called out his name softly, still unable to suppress the violent beating of her heart.
She pressed down on her heart, trying to calm it down.
What I feel is the throbbing flowing unrestrainedly in my blood vessels.
In this world...something as important as volleyball has appeared.
Yes, volleyball.
I still have to practice tomorrow.
Xiangcheng closed her eyes again and forced herself to put away all thoughts.
Two weeks later, the Rikkai University women's volleyball team successfully defeated their rival Shonan and entered this year's National Spring High School with the first place in Kanagawa.
Fujino Yuu pointed at Yuhara Kaoru and Igarashi Kotomi with trembling fingers: "You two! You must have stolen some skills from the last Autumn Tournament!"
Xiangcheng's smiling expression suddenly stopped.
Fujino Yu realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized to Xiangcheng.
Xiang Cheng laughed again: "It's okay! In fact, I felt your team's style of play was very familiar from the beginning. Now, it's easy to beat you!"
Coach Kabira also nodded to her.
The training style is the same as my grandfather's. If you want to break it, you have to use the wind method of Yinju.
After winning, they came to Matsumoto Gen'e's training base again. This time the facilities at the base were more complete, and Shonan was also invited to train together.
Hawkeye, serving machines, angle-adjustable passing machines, and so on, these things that are not usually seen in high school training have come into use one after another.
There is also a converted gym on the first floor and a swimming pool in the building behind, which really makes their lives a little too full.
Kaoru and Rika's rooms are still on the third floor. Occasionally, when passing by the second floor, Kaoru would unconsciously look towards Yukimura's room.
This happened so many times that Li Xiang couldn't help but become suspicious: "Xiangcheng, you are not..."
"Ah?" Xiangcheng looked away and didn't hear clearly.
Li Xiang reorganized her words: "What are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering...are Yukimura and the others training now? Or have they already gone to the competition?"
Rika suddenly realized: "I was wondering if you were acting weird lately, always grinning to yourself. So you're thinking about Yukimura! If he knew this, he'd wake up laughing in his dreams."
Xiang Cheng smiled foolishly: "I wonder what he looks like when he wakes up from a dream laughing."
Li Xiang stared at her in surprise: "I'm telling you...are you serious? You got angry and ignored me when I joked with you before, but now you actually..."
"Ah," Xiangcheng finally dared to say this: "I found that I still like Yukimura very much."
Lixiang was stunned where she was. After Xiangcheng had taken a few steps, she grabbed Xiangcheng and said, "Wait a minute, I'll record this! I guarantee it can be exchanged for seven or eight meals!"
"No~" Xiangcheng tapped her nose and took three or two steps up the stairs.
Rika wiped away a few non-existent tears: "Wow, Yukimura! I actually heard these words in my lifetime. I thought there was no hope in this life! It's a pity that Xiangcheng didn't allow it to be recorded..."
Xiangcheng turned around and called her: "If you don't come over soon, I'll take a shower first!"
Li Xiang quickly chased after him: "Wait for me!"
On the last night of the joint training, the coaching staff reserved time for the girls from both schools.
Fujino Yu and Matsumoto Genon agreed to play games together after dinner.
"Truth or Dare" was selected as the first round of game tonight with 90% support.
Matsumoto Genon took the lead. She took out a turntable as big as a basketball. More than a dozen people each had their own number. She pressed the center of the turntable and the pointer began to spin rapidly.
Gradually, the pointer stopped at number 12.
Matsumoto Genon asked: "Excuse me, when was your first love?"
Shonan's setter raised his hand and replied, "First grade, and a senior from the men's volleyball team."
"Oh~" Several people from Shonan started to make a noise.
Soon the pointer started moving again, and Matsumoto asked, "Number 4, when was your first kiss?"
Li Xiang cleared her throat and said, "I choose the big dare."
Now it was the turn of everyone at Rikkai University to cheer.
The content of the big adventure is to pinch the elephant's nose and spin in circles 50 times, then draw a straight line. If you can't complete it, you still have to tell the truth.
Everyone helped Lixiang count, and she completed the task without any danger.
To the disappointment of everyone at Rikkai, the turntable started and this time it landed on number 6.
Matsumoto Genon then asked, "Number 6, what is something you most want to say to someone but have never said it?"
Xiang Cheng resigned herself to her fate and stood up: "I'd better take the big risk."
"No," Li Xiang raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "You have to be brave!"
Fujino Yuu yelled, "Ah!" and pointed at Xiang Cheng and said, "Hurry up, tell me the truth! I want to hear the truth!"
"No!" Xiangcheng has already started spinning.
result--
“Hahahaha, is this a straight line?”
“No!”
Xiangcheng's pleading eyes fell on Matsumoto Genon, and she also shook her head curiously.
Xiangcheng closed her eyes to suppress the dizziness, and after a while she said in a self-deprecating tone: "I want to tell Yukimura Seiichi that I like you - is that okay?"
"Ah! I forgot to record the video again!" Rika's sigh was drowned out by everyone's screams.
Xiaolin An held Xiangcheng's hand and said, "Wow, wow, wow... I want to tell Yuka that our CP is going to come true!"
Xiangcheng felt shy and amused, and quickly sat down amid everyone's jokes.
Fortunately, after several rounds, it didn't come to her again.
Just when she thought she had secured the night, Igarashi-senpai began her questioning: "Number 6, please choose three men from the Rikkai University tennis club who you think are suitable to be your boyfriend."
Xiangcheng complained: "Does this question really have to be so specific?"
"Of course," Igarashi Kotomi laughed, "It would be terrible if you used celebrities to fill in the numbers."
Xiang Cheng closed her eyes: "Yukimura Seiichi, Yukimura Seiichi, Yukimura Seiichi. All right, three."
“I’ll go…”
"How can you answer this question like this? Isn't it considered a foul?" Fujino Yu protested, but was stopped by Abe Makoto who was standing beside him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't you think this is better?"
Xiao Lin Xing didn't expect to hear such exciting news tonight. She was so excited that she almost fainted.
"I'm so mad... All I need is a Yukimura to fall from the sky..."
Xiangcheng imagined a "Yukimura Superman" falling from the sky and held her burning face.
Yukimura Seiichi had been mentioned so many times today that she was even looking forward to it. How long would it take for him to come back?
While waiting, Xiangcheng's family spent the first New Year without their grandfather. The whole family went to the cemetery that day, talked with their grandfather, and told him stories that had happened in the past few months.
She also stepped into the National Spring High School competition for the first time, and together with 80 representative teams, began her journey towards her dream in a place where only volleyball is played.
She stared at the name "Santa Maria" in the same group on the group list.
If everything goes well in the early stages, by the fourth game... she will be able to meet her old teammates.
Keep winning.
