Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Maintain
The familiar reefs were swallowed up bit by bit by the waves.
Yukimura Seiichi said with regret, "Ah, it seems I can't get through."
Yuhara Kaoru looked at the sea, then turned to look at him: "Why did you want to come here?"
He leaned leisurely on the railing of the trail with his back to the sea, his inquiring eyes fixed on Xiangcheng's face.
He didn't say anything, so Xiangcheng put his hands up, leaned on the railing, and looked out at the sea.
I don't know how long it took, so long that Xiangcheng couldn't help sneezing. Xiangcheng rubbed his nose, and was immediately covered by a coat. The warmth of Yukimura's palms could be felt on both shoulders.
He carried Xiang Cheng away from the beach and placed her on a bench on the other side. Then he leaned over and said helplessly, "Why are you so stubborn?"
Xiangcheng looked into his beautiful eyes, not quite understanding.
This purple spring is filled with all of her.
"If there's anything wrong with me, you must tell me."
"No..."
Xiangcheng was very sad.
Yukimura Seiichi slowly squatted down, holding Kaoru's hand and placing it on her leg: "Kaoru will feel the same as me, right? We can understand each other without saying much."
In this position, Xiangcheng had to lower her head to meet Yukimura Seiichi's gaze. Her hands were also wrapped in his, giving her the same dry, warm, and safe feeling she always had.
Xiangcheng couldn't help but nod.
Yukimura smiled. "But sometimes, I can't guess what Xiangcheng is thinking, and I wonder if I'm doing something wrong."
"No," Xiangcheng denied hastily, "You're fine."
"But you're still angry with me when you say that."
"No..." Xiangcheng wanted to avoid Yukimura's burning gaze, but found that this angle was unavoidable.
"I don't want to wait until you feel okay before telling me," Yukimura Seiichi put a hand on her cheek, "so if you're unhappy, you must tell me now."
Xiang Cheng gently put her face closer to his palm, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Are you... disappointed in me?"
"Why do you think so?" Yukimura frowned.
Xiangcheng thought of that day.
Yukimura Seiichi's sudden indifference, though only for a moment, was...
Xiangcheng looked at him again, who was being the gentlest person today.
What came before the words she wanted to say were the tears that suddenly fell from Xiangcheng's eyes.
It dripped onto the back of Yukimura Seiichi's hand, making him visibly panic.
The hand that was caressing Xiangcheng's face immediately wiped away her tears, but it couldn't wipe them away completely.
Even if I used both hands, it seemed to turn on the switch of tears even more.
Yukimura Seiichi hurriedly stood up, sat next to Xiangcheng and held her in his arms. He wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.
It’s better not to see his face, Xiangcheng thought.
After a long while, Xiang Cheng suppressed the trembling in her voice and said, "I didn't support your dream so firmly. You must be very disappointed."
Yukimura Seiichi vaguely remembered the day he registered.
"Stupid Xiangcheng," he said with a mixture of amusement and sadness, "You're so sensitive when you shouldn't be."
Xiangcheng's eyes, which had just recovered from being dry, were becoming moist again.
"I do occasionally feel burdened by other people's concerns about me."
"Xiangcheng, I naturally hope that in your heart, I am perfect and strong, not someone who needs you to worry about me all the time."
"I prove this to everyone time and time again because I don't want people to remember me when I was at my weakest."
Yukimura Seiichi rested his chin on top of Xiangcheng's head: "Especially you."
You are the only one among the people I care about who has never seen me in such a mess.
When you start to worry about me, I can't help but feel a little frustrated.
Xiangcheng grabbed his clothes tightly: "I'm sorry Jingshi, I..."
"It's okay, it's just my bad attitude."
Yukimura lifted her face and said, "Our Xiangcheng just cares about me too much, right?"
"Um."
He wiped the tears from her eyes with his thumb. "I've been studying our opponents' game videos every day lately, and haven't had a good chat with you. You must be feeling very wronged, right?"
"No." Xiangcheng blinked hard.
"You're lying," Yukimura Seiichi put his forehead against mine, "You obviously don't want to pay attention to me anymore."
"I'm... afraid you'll ignore me."
Yukimura Seiichi laughed: "Why are you still trying to turn the tables?"
“That’s what it is.”
"You can't sentence me in advance, Xiangcheng."
The two of them were too close, and Xiangcheng couldn't help but laugh, her voice still hoarse: "I wasn't like this before."
"I know," Yukimura Seiichi also laughed: "When I saw you helping in my kitchen that day, I was thinking,"
"My weakness in this life is probably here, and I will always be the weakness in your hearts."
Then he felt the area where Xiangcheng's forehead was pressed against his suddenly became hot. Then Xiangcheng, with her flushed cheeks, leaned on his shoulder.
"Excessive."
His laughter traveled through Xiangcheng's bones.
"I've never seen you so shy when saying 'I love you'."
"Stop talking."
"Ah, I also want to talk about some things in the future, such as..."
Xiangcheng covered his mouth at the right time.
She sat up, stared at him with her still red eyes and said, "Jingshi, I will be that big tree."
Knowing what she was talking about, Yukimura Seiichi's expression became extremely serious: "Okay. I will try my best not to let you worry."
No matter how high or far you fly, you will never forget the tree where you live.
"So, my tree," Yukimura Seiichi held her face again, "are we reconciled?"
"Um!"
Yukimura bit her lips precisely, swallowing up all her opinions.
The sound of the surging waves rose and fell, and before the summer typhoon arrived, the reefs had been completely submerged.
Xiangcheng and his teammates successfully arrived at the IH National Championship. At the same time, Yukimura also led his teammates to rush towards the championship throne of the national competition again.
"Xiangcheng, long time no see!" Kuroo Tetsuro, who is 188cm tall, is wearing a red jersey. When he is silent, he can pretend to be a calm adult. But when he speaks, his lazy tone reveals that he is not serious at all, especially when he speaks to his younger sister, Yukino, whom he has not seen for a long time, his voice even breaks a little.
"Hey! It's the schoolgirl who returned my coat!" Koutarou beside him also recognized Kaoru: "Are you here to participate in the competition too?"
Xiang Cheng, who was called by the two, had no choice but to come over: "Kuroo-senpai, Kuro."
"Hey," Kuroo said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Call me senior."
Xiangcheng curled her lips: "Stop pretending."
Kazuki's rude attitude made Koutarou Bokuto burst into laughter.
"You don't give me any face at all," Kuroo complained, "Where's your Yukimura-kun?"
Xiangcheng was proud: "He's going to play in the finals of the national competition!"
"Hello..." Never mind, I wanted to ask that myself.
The three of them chatted about the team's competition arrangements, and after the broadcast sounded, they walked into the venue together.
While standing in the line waiting to enter, Senior Abe came over and asked, "Could you please introduce me to the handsome guy who just walked in with you?"
"Oh," Kaoru said, "That's the ace of Tokyo Owl Valley Academy, Senior Kotaro Bokuto."
"Not the one in red."
"Him?" Xiang Cheng seemed shocked. "Handsome guy?"
Is it the black-tailed iron-haired dog that always has hair that stands upright when sleeping and is difficult to manage?
Xiangcheng said with disdain: "Senior, are you serious?"
Senior Abe knocked her on the head: "How dare you question my judgment?"
Xiangcheng showed a clear expression of "That's right".
Abe Zhen strangled her neck: "Xiao Xiangcheng, you're done."
Matsumoto Genon, who was in the front, quickly coughed softly, and Abe Shin let go of Xiangcheng in disappointment.
There's no way, Xiangcheng thought, because of childhood friendship and being too familiar with each other, it's hard to think about "what the other person looks like".
——If you have ever seen someone coming home with a big snotty nose.
There are countless embarrassing plots. Of course, Xiao Hei probably thinks so too.
Suddenly I missed the feeling when we were kids and there was no one to talk to.
And in the first game, their opponent was actually the women's team of Yinju.
While lamenting the strangeness of fate, Xiangcheng caught a glimpse of Kuroo Tetsuro's occasional glances at her.
He must not be looking at her, so...
Xiangcheng looked at the opposite side with interest. Which one could it be?
The answer came soon.
The main attacker standing face to face with her had inquiring eyes when he looked at her.
There was no malicious intent in this inquiry, and Xiangcheng no longer avoided other people's gazes, but looked back with a smile.
The girl opposite lowered her head shyly.
Oh no.
Xiangcheng bared his teeth: "Defeat you!"
The girl's face turned pale with shyness.
Oh no!
Facing the condemning gazes from afar, Xiangcheng smiled and quickly relaxed her body to get into the state.
The characteristics of the Yinju women's team are similar to those of the men's team, and the players all rely on catching the ball to maintain the game.
Compared to Xiangcheng, Masuda Aiko was obviously suppressed more severely today.
At the beginning, the two ambidextrous players of Rikkai University made the opponent panic, but they adjusted quickly. Aiko Masuda obviously had a better grasp of the ball path, and she never got the upper hand again after one round.
Teacher Misaki called a timeout and substituted Nana Hinaya.
Matsumoto Genon quickly warned Hitani, who was about to jump up with excitement, "Don't get too excited, calm down!"
"Don't worry, Minister," Nana Hinaya licked her lips, "I will definitely make him pay!"
This action...
Li Xiang complained: "You really look like Kelp Junior!"
Hitani tilted his head, "Who wants to look like an idiot!"
Brigida agreed, "It does look alike."
"Hello……"
Teacher Misaki waved her hand helplessly and told them to leave. The other teams would discuss tactics during the break.
Rikkai University?
Let them do it themselves.
Nana Hinaya threw herself into the game like a little cannonball.
Yuihara Kōju's ball movement is difficult to predict, and Hinaya Nana's ball movement is too powerful and often flies away.
After two rounds, Yinju was unable to gain any advantage.
During the final thank you segment, as he passed by Coach Yinju, he suddenly said, "Your technique is a bit like your grandfather's."
ah……
It's rare for someone to remember their grandfather. Xiangcheng thanked him again: "Thank you for your recognition, Coach Nekomata."
"Well... but this will put a lot of strain on your left arm. If you have any problems in the future, you can always come to me."
"thank you."
Xiangcheng unconsciously touched his left arm.
