Chapter 70 Let's Go on a Date
Rukawa Kaede gave a soft "hmm," gently pressing his nose against her neck as he quietly inhaled her breath.
Kanon couldn't help but turn her head away and whispered, "...Stop sucking...you're sucking a cat!?"
Although they were sitting in the back, their intimate behavior made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Rukawa paused, looked up, and gently brushed his nose against her reddened earlobe, his voice low: "I'm so glad you're shy, and that you like me so much too."
A straight shot, and it hits the target.
Hana's face instantly erupted in excitement.
She remembered that she had only jokingly told him that she liked him that one time.
Although they were together every day, she spent most of her time on the training field, and the two didn't have many opportunities to be alone.
Rukawa Kaede is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, never hiding his feelings, simple and direct.
If you like her, stare straight at her with a gaze so intense it's almost tangible, burning with an astonishing intensity.
The taciturn Rukawa Kaede is also decisive in his actions, taking care of her in every possible way, filling her life with emotion and warmth.
Kanon really likes Rukawa Kaede, and her feelings for him have only grown stronger over time.
In this dimly lit theater, only the screen was shining.
The flickering light danced across Rukawa Kaede's cold and stern eyes.
Rukawa Kaede has very beautiful eyes.
Her eyes were very dark, her eyelashes were long, her eyelids followed the shape of her eyes, and her eyes were long and narrow with beautiful ends.
His long eyelashes suddenly blinked lightly, his eyes filled with undisguised intimacy, and he lazily nestled beside her.
A sweet feeling welled up in Hana's heart.
Rukawa Kaede, leaning on her shoulder, was so well-behaved. Usually, he was like a cat that wouldn't let anyone touch him but was tempting to pet him, always proudly and reservedly curled up in his own territory. Now, he took the initiative to lean on her side.
Even at such close range, he exuded the fresh scent of soapberry.
This scent was all too familiar to Hanon. She had personally selected and prepared all the shower gel and shampoo used by the Shohoku team according to her own preferences.
They smelled the same, but Kanon found Rukawa's scent more alluring.
Even smelling it can make your heart race and your whole body feel hot.
Hanon felt a little uncomfortable and quietly shifted her position.
Rukawa noticed her little movement, loosened his clasped hands, wrapped his arms around her waist, and hugged her, resting his chin on Hanon's shoulder and his cheek against her neck, giving her a small nuzzle:
"Nini, I'm sleepy, let me rest for a bit."
Hanon was a little dazed from being hugged.
Rukawa Kaede's voice remained as cool and aloof as ever.
She, however, sensed the coquettish undertone in his words.
Hanon... seems to like this kind of thing quite a bit.
She looked down and glanced at Rukawa Kaede.
What's it like to have a handsome boyfriend?
Just looking at that handsome face makes me feel happy.
Her fair skin was flawless.
So handsome.
Her boyfriend is so incredibly handsome!
Hanon compromised, stopped moving, and softly said "okay".
Rukawa Kaede lowered his eyelashes, concealing the stubbornness that lingered in his eyes, and a small smile appeared on his lips.
Ayako, her eyes glued to the movie, leaned closer to Kanon and whispered, "Hey Kanon-chan, that male lead has such a great physique! Who's he?"
Finally snapping out of her reverie, when Hanon looked at the movie again, the male lead had already finished showering, leaving only a few insignificant female supporting characters talking.
Hanon tilted her head and whispered a reply.
"I don't follow celebrities, and I don't know them."
In an instant, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning, and I suddenly had a strange feeling.
Is Rukawa Kaede jealous?
Hanon turned her face away, and Rukawa Kaede's fluffy head found a suitable spot in the crook of her neck. He closed his eyes, and his long, thick eyelashes remained motionless.
She must be overthinking it, Hana nodded to herself.
Hearing Rukawa Kaede's deep, even snoring, Kanon also drifted off to sleep.
"Oto-chan, Oto-chan..."
Hanon was shaken awake, her gaze wandering as she looked around.
Ayako said gently, "The movie's over. Have a good rest on Sunday."
"Ah...is it over already?"
Only the three of them remained in the theater, which had been cleaned up. Hana smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I fell asleep."
Ayako patted her arm. "It's okay, you've worked hard."
If we're talking about who on the Shohoku team contributed the most, it would undoubtedly be Kanon.
She took on all the responsibility for training and carefully considered every detail, even participating in the daily training.
Therefore, no one found it strange or dissatisfying that Kanon fell asleep while watching movies.
They might even feel sorry for Kanon.
As for the single-celled organism next to Kanon...
Ayako found it both funny and heartwarming—it turns out that love really can change a person so much. This fox is such a sleepyhead, it even clings to its owner when it sleeps.
"I'm going back now. You can wake up the person next to you."
"Okay, goodnight, A-Cai."
Ayako smiled, waved to her, and turned to leave.
Hua Yin looked down at the little fox clinging to her body and pinched its tender cheek. "Xiao Feng, wake up."
Her skin was smooth and elastic, and Huayin couldn't resist pinching it twice more.
Rukawa Kaede mumbled "Nini" in his sleep, his eyes half-open, and rubbed his face against hers.
Hua Yin pushed him away: "Your drool is all over my clothes."
Rukawa Kaede looked up, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and slowly wiped the drool off her shoulder, staring at her sleepily.
Hanon didn't care at all: "Don't wipe it, I'm going back to my room to change my clothes in a bit."
Rukawa Kaede remained silent and insisted on cleaning it, so Kanon let him have his way.
After a while, Rukawa Kaede finally stopped, satisfied, and then gently combed her hair with his fingers.
In that instant, as if an electric current had shot through her scalp, Hanon grabbed Rukawa's hand and asked, "...What are you doing?"
Rukawa Kaede was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you care?"
"What?"
"I'm concerned about my hair getting messy."
Hanon paused, then suddenly remembered how she had been annoyed by her messy hair at Rukawa's house. She hadn't expected him to remember such details.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Rukawa Kaede continued to comb her hair with his fingers.
Seeing his calm and focused demeanor, Hana's heart was filled with emotion.
She snapped out of her daze, ruffled Rukawa Kaede's black hair, and said with a smile, "Let's go! Let's go back to our room and continue sleeping."
Rukawa Kaede followed Kanon to her door and the two stopped.
"I've arrived. You should go back and rest too."
Hanon let go of the hand she was holding.
Rukawa Kaede didn't let go, staring intently at her.
Hana shook their hands and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Rukawa Kaede: "Let's go on a date tomorrow."
His tone was calm, but his jawline was taut.
He was nervous.
Hana's eyes widened slightly, genuinely surprised: "Aren't you going to practice and catch up on sleep?"
Rukawa Kaede's lips drooped slightly, and his cold, icy voice betrayed a hint of displeasure: "You can only wear matching shoes with me."
Huayin:?
Kanon's gaze followed Rukawa Kaede's downward movement—
She was wearing the same style of basketball shoes as Sakuragi. But ever since Sakuragi and Haruko bought new basketball shoes, the new shoes have become Sakuragi's daily favorite.
"...These are sibling shoes, I'm not wearing matching shoes with anyone!"
Rukawa's expressionless face was filled with concern.
"Follow me."
My boyfriend's possessiveness is so blatant, it's kind of cute.
A moment later, Hanako smiled and heard herself reply in a cheerful tone, "Okay, I'll wear matching shoes with you."
Sunday afternoon, 2 p.m.
Hanon and Rukawa agreed to meet at a cafe on the main street.
The quiet environment briefly became lively, and Hana knew without even looking up that her boyfriend, whose beauty could kill, had arrived.
Before their hushed conversation had even ceased, an impatient girl rushed forward to ask Rukawa Kaede for his contact information. But he completely bypassed her, walking straight up to Kanon.
He didn't sit in the opposite seat, but squeezed directly next to Kanon.
The soft fragrance of soapberry enveloped Huayin. He took Huayin's hand and placed it on his lap, striking a pose full of possessiveness.
The people around them stared at them and whispered among themselves.
Without saying a word, Rukawa Kaede picked up Kanon's coffee and took a sip, as if silently telling everyone about the relationship between the two.
After finishing their snacks, the two went directly to a basketball shoe store.
Rukawa asked:
Which one do you like?
Hanon's gaze swept over the brightly colored basketball shoes, but her fingertip pointed to the pair of black and white shoes.
Rukawa looked at Kanon suspiciously, then pointed to the shoes Kanon was looking at: "You're looking at these."
Hanon: "Don't you prefer this color scheme that's mainly black and white? It's simple, understated, and calming."
Rukawa puffed out his cheeks, his chubby cheeks were quite cute, and he said with dissatisfaction, "Then what are you looking at?"
Hana glanced at the fiery red again and said subconsciously, "I think these shoes are pretty nice too."
Rukawa Kaede picked up the shoes and asked the shopkeeper, "Excuse me, do you have women's versions of these shoes?"
Shopkeeper: "Yes, we have them. What Japanese code do you want?"
Rukawa Kaede: "Women's size 24, men's size 28."
Hana was stunned. "Huh?"
How did Rukawa Kaede know her exact shoe size?
How did you know that?
Rukawa Kaede's gaze was clear, and without much explanation, he said, "I've been keeping an eye on you."
Hanon felt as if something had hit her chest, and her heartbeat suddenly became erratic.
Rukawa Kaede's love seems to be everywhere.
Who doesn't love wholeheartedly?
The shopkeeper brought out the right shoe size. After Rukawa tried them on, he walked towards Hanon expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "This color suits me too. Isn't Shohoku red?"
Hanon wholeheartedly agreed, smiling as she said, "It's very beautiful."
The red and black color scheme symbolizes a spirit of challenge and hard work, which coincides with Rukawa Kaede's personality.
It perfectly captures Rukawa Kaede's inner world, his untamed fighting spirit, which is both striking and powerful, both passionate and fiery.
The shopkeeper brought over the women's shoes, and Rukawa Kaede took them.
Hanon sat down, took off one shoe, and reached out for another.
Rukawa Kaede half-squatted on the ground, supporting one of her feet with one hand and holding a new shoe in the other, gently moving it under her foot.
Huayin was slightly startled.
The gentle warmth of his palm touched my ankle; the heat was undeniable, making my skin feel hot.
Rukawa Kaede suddenly said:
"How can something so thin run so fast and be so strong?"
Hanon was both amused and exasperated.
What and what.
Hana lowered her eyes, looking at the boy who was willing to bend down and put on her shoes. His eyelashes were long and thick.
My heart melted completely.
"Xiao Feng".
"Um?"
