Chapter 96: Extra Three If Line: Meeting You After a Long Time (Part 2)...
Chapter 101
Seeing her squatting on the ground in surprise as if she was about to fall, Yukimura Seiichi hurried forward to support her, and then slowly pulled her up.
"Thank you, thank you." Xiangcheng used the force to stand up and quickly took a step back.
Sensing her retreat, Yukimura Seiichi's eyes flickered with a smile, and then he asked from this distance, "Are you okay?"
Xiangcheng nodded a few times: "Not bad."
The atmosphere fell silent.
For a moment, neither of them knew how to start.
Ask him why he is here? Ask him why he follows her?
——I always feel that if I ask such questions, things will go in an uncontrollable direction.
So Xiangcheng hopes there will be more evening breeze to wake her up.
But she didn't dare look directly at Yukimura Seiichi. This man looked gentle, but his eyes were so bright that it was scary.
She simply lowered her eyes and looked at his neck.
After a long time, she finally saw his Adam's apple rolling and he let out a few sighs.
Very strange.
Then Yukimura Seiichi said, "I wanted to come slower, but... I don't have that much time."
"Ah?" Xiangcheng didn't expect that this person would be such a straightforward type.
She raised her head and looked at him in surprise, but Yukimura's expression was very serious and he didn't seem to be lying.
She subconsciously wanted to deny it. How could she develop such feelings after just meeting him once?
World champion...is he also so eager to get married?
Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Yukimura Seiichi locked onto her with his beautiful iris-colored eyes. He then spoke word by word, "Ever since I saw you in the winter finals of my third year of junior high, I've wanted to get to know you."
Occasionally, he would see this name in sports magazines, see her competing as Chunshi's ace, and see her winning national championships time and time again.
He also thought that she would become a professional athlete.
In the busy intervals between games, I would also follow the latest developments of the domestic women's volleyball team players, but I never saw this name again.
I feel regretful and sorry, and even wonder - why not become an athlete?
Until two months ago, my father's company had some problems, and he asked a friend to find a lawyer in this area. "Mikiko Yuihara" was on the list.
Although "Yuhara" is a very common surname, Mikiko Yuhara became familiar with her mother through her father's official connections.
He has a daughter who is the same age as him. She used to be a good volleyball player and is now a coach...
When his mother once again nagging him about the girls she could meet, he, who had just been home for a few days, said for the first time, "Then let's meet one."
The jaw-dropping expressions of his mother and Xiao Xia were still vivid in his mind.
Then he saw her dressed as a princess.
Her eyes stayed on him for only a moment before quickly moving away.
Slightly disappointed, he realized that she didn't want to come.
The important thing is that she didn't believe that he would go on a blind date from the beginning.
On the beach, he tried hard to recall his high school life, which slowly helped her let down her guard. Her classmates, her teammates, her good friends... Faced with a relationship that was going nowhere, he first thought, "If only God could let her come to me sooner."
——He never makes assumptions, as they are vague and meaningless. The only thing he can grasp is the present.
But at that moment, he began to think about this possibility.
With the end of this meeting, he returned to Paris to start new training.
He really wanted to chat about something, but he was afraid that he didn't have enough time to reply to her, which would make her feel neglected.
She finally had a chance to chat, but she didn't care about it.
So, he finally couldn't help himself and appeared in front of her.
Watching her happily go drinking with her colleagues, watching her trying to walk out in a straight line.
"Third year of high school... that's too long."
Xiang Cheng blinked: "Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"
Yukimura laughed. "It should be hard to mistake you—you're the best player in the game."
"Ah, that's it," Xiang Cheng became excited when mentioning volleyball. "What a coincidence, you actually came to watch the volleyball game."
It was just an accident.
Yukimura Seiichi relaxed a little: "So I haven't forgotten it after all this time."
"Ten years?" Xiangcheng thought thoughtfully, "That's a really long time."
"But I don't play volleyball much anymore! I'm sorry to disappoint you." She said it frankly, as if she didn't think there was anything about herself that could still make Yukimura Seiichi feel any admiration.
Yukimura Seiichi smiled and shook his head: "No, seeing you again makes me even more curious."
Xiangcheng looked down at herself. Afraid that the smell of alcohol would stick to her, she wore a half-worn tracksuit today and casually tied her hair into a ponytail.
sks and his friends often complain that she only treats them as colleagues, otherwise if she dressed up properly she wouldn't be single until now.
Compared to the man opposite her who looked refined and noble, she felt a little ashamed of herself.
There is nothing worth being "curious" about.
She is not some little girl whose brain has been damaged by romance novels.
"It's not about appearance," Yukimura Seiichi found it even more funny. "I really want to know why such an excellent player resolutely doesn't want to become an athlete? I also want to know what you think about every day..."
"So, Ms. Yuhara Kaoru, can you give me a chance to get to know you?"
Xiangcheng was stunned. She didn't expect that this person could use such a straight shot. The surging alcohol seemed to make her drunk, and this sentence echoed in her mind.
But this person didn't even bother giving her a chance to refuse. He just continued, "For the next six months, due to overwork triggering some old illnesses, I won't be participating in any competitions. I should stay in Tokyo and participate in a secret rehabilitation program..."
"Wait a minute!" Xiangcheng stretched out his hand to stop him from finishing, but then awkwardly put his hand in the air: "Don't tell me everything."
Yukimura Seiichi stared at her hand and slowly held her fingertips with one hand: "It's okay. Since I want to get to know you, I should be honest."
A tingling sensation like an electric shock came from the fingertips, and Xiangcheng quickly pulled his hand away. This time, he felt that the alcohol was really taking effect.
A little dizzy, a little burning.
Yukimura Seiichi, who was trying to flirt with her, tilted his head, in a good mood, but with an innocent look, he asked, "Ms. Yuihara, is this okay?"
Xiangcheng closed her eyes and struggled for a long time, but he didn't say anything... Finally, she nodded, opened her eyes, stared at his Adam's apple and said, "Okay... but I'm busy."
"It's okay."
…
"Xiangcheng, you've been giggling with your phone all the time lately. Could it be..."
When Xiangcheng's colleagues' prying eyes flickered to her phone screen, she quickly pressed the phone to her chest and said, "No way!"
"Really?" The colleague who was originally a little skeptical now confirmed his guess.
"Is your boyfriend very clingy?"
"What boyfriend? He's not..."
"Oh~ 'him'?"
Xiangcheng shut up.
After not receiving a reply for two minutes, Yukimura Seiichi immediately sent a few more messages.
As the phone vibrated, Xiangcheng glared at his colleague who was laughing non-stop, and finally started reading the message.
Why are you ignoring me?
[Are you busy?]
[Or is it the head coach coming over?]
Xiangcheng had no choice but to reply: [No, it was my colleague who asked me why I was giggling while holding my phone.]
Yukimura Seiichi didn't say anything for a long time.
Xiangcheng waited for a while, and finally threw down his phone in annoyance and started making a table for the new season.
It was almost lunchtime when Kuroo rushed over like a gust of wind and pushed open her office door. "Hey! I heard you have a boyfriend, Kaoru! Isn't it time to treat us?"
Xiang Cheng said with a dark face: "That's not true!"
"Huh? That's what Ms. Takahashi said!"
At this moment, Sakuhaya passed by unconsciously: "Xiangcheng, someone is looking for you downstairs."
"Huh?" Both Kaoru and Kuroo blinked and looked at each other, and soon Kuroo's eyes turned into "You are lying."
So... who could it be?
When I walked out of the office, I saw the new Hinata Shoyo asking that person all kinds of questions. He was surrounded by him alone and was gesticulating with excitement, almost jumping up on the spot.
Xiangcheng coughed and slowly went to save Yukimura Seiichi, whose charm could not be hidden even with a mask.
When Kyuuba was about to catch up, SKS grabbed his collar with a hint of disgust and pinned him to the spot.
"Shoyo..."
Xiang Cheng called Hinata's name, which diverted Hinata's attention away: "Xiang Cheng! You're here, this person is actually-"
Xiangcheng quickly covered his mouth, and then let go as Yukimura Seiichi frowned.
"Why are you here?"
This feels a bit awkward...
Yukimura Seiichi nodded, pulled her to his side and said, "I wanted to see how you could smile so foolishly."
...Is that it?
Xiangcheng was a little dumbfounded.
Looking around, she saw more and more colleagues pretending to pass by here - she quickly asked Yukimura to hold her hand and take him upstairs to her office, and locked the door.
Yukimura Seiichi let her do these "trying to cover up but only making it more obvious" actions, and then leisurely strolled around her office.
The furnishings were simple: a cat pillow on a three-seater sofa, her desk opposite, two computers running some kind of data model, a small cactus beside, and a blanket thrown on the back of the swivel computer chair. There was a filing cabinet by the door, and that was it.
Xiangcheng turned around, blushed, and quickly took the blanket away.
"Oh, you came so suddenly..."
Yukimura Seiichi sat down casually on the sofa, looking at her at a loss with a calm expression.
Xiangcheng returned to his desk, saved the data, and turned off the computer.
After a moment's thought, she asked, "Have you finished your physical therapy this morning?"
"Yeah, it's early today."
Xiangcheng wanted to see something from his expression, but obviously failed.
During this month, Yukimura Seiichi did as he said. Whenever he had free time, he would talk a lot about himself. As the conversation went on, Xiangcheng was unconsciously tricked into talking, and even told her the embarrassing story of beating the coach in the third grade of junior high school.
She didn't expect that she would be accepted so well.
——He was so good that when he was having dinner with Seiichi Yukimura, a few of his good friends came over and he could naturally invite them to eat together.
Maybe this is the frog in boiling water.
Xiangcheng looked away, as if she didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, she asked, "If you have a headache, would you like me to massage it for you?"
Seeing Yukimura Seiichi's surprised look, she added, "Well... I'm pretty good at rehabilitation."
"Okay," Yukimura agreed without hesitation: "Then...how do we start?"
Xiang Cheng sat on the computer chair, used her legs to push the chair over and came to Yukimura: "Why don't you rest your head on the armrest and lie down?"
Yukimura did as he was told.
Xiangcheng stood up again, found disinfectant wipes in the drawer and wiped her hands carefully, then came back to sit on the computer chair, moved to Yukimura's forehead, rolled up her sleeves and placed both hands on the top of his skull.
"If it's a bit heavy, tell me."
"good."
Yukimura Seiichi closed his eyes and let Kaoru press his head back and forth.
Xiangcheng, who basically presses the buttons for her grandmother on weekends, seemed to have returned to her college days, experiencing each other's techniques with her group classmates. Unconsciously, she hummed a song that she loved to listen to in college.
Her happiness infected Seiichi Yukimura.
He lay there, seemingly recalling the days with his friends.
Half asleep and half awake, he felt as if he was back in high school.
Xiangcheng sat behind him, occasionally poking his back with a pen, and when he turned around, she asked him how to solve the physics problem.
But... they didn't know each other at that time.
Yukimura Seiichi suddenly opened his eyes, and Xiangcheng's breathing mingled with his head. Seeing him trying hard to look at her, he leaned forward and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
He didn't speak.
Xiangcheng was panicking, wondering if someone had pressed his language center or something.
At this moment, Yukimura suddenly stretched out a hand, put his arm around Kaoru's neck, and pressed her towards him.
The moment Xiangcheng was stunned, Yukimura Seiichi's lips had already locked on hers. She had to support herself on both sides of his cheeks and wanted to refuse. As soon as she opened her mouth, Yukimura Seiichi's tongue slipped into her teeth.
You didn’t eat anything this morning...right?
Well, that's good.
No - why are you thinking about this!
But the more he struggled, the tighter Yukimura Seiichi's grip became.
Slowly, Yukimura Seiichi sat up without him knowing when, but she slid down on the sofa and curled up in his arms in an extremely weird posture.
Unable to struggle at all, Xiangcheng closed her eyes resignedly, and was bitten hard on the tongue by Yukimura Seiichi again. The pain made her want to move away, but Yukimura Seiichi seemed to comfort her and gently traced the place where she had just been bitten.
So angry.
She simply stopped closing her eyes and stared into his.
Her iris-colored pupils were now filled with the rosy redness of her cheeks.
