Be a heartthrob in Slam Dunk

After Rukawa Kaede went to the United States, Chie returned to a busy and independent life.

Next, she is about to face the university examination at the University of Tokyo at the end of February, and the examination at the alternative university - Tokyo Institute of Technology in early March.

Therefore, she went all out to study hard. While attending classes in Xiangbei during the day, she resumed her evening private school classes.

At noon that day, Chie had just finished eating the bento she made in the classroom when she saw Mito Yohei poking his head at the door. She came to the door and asked: "Yangping, who are you looking for? I'll shout for you..."

Mito Yohei looked at Chie calmly, but his tone revealed a little anxiety: "Who else can I turn to? Come with me, I have something to tell you..."

Chie's intuition was that what he was talking about must be related to Sakuragi Hanamichi. Since she had already confirmed her relationship with Rukawa Kaede, she didn't want to get involved.

But she knew that Mito Yohei had always been a very calm and gentle boy in nature, and would not say anything hurtful, so she chose to follow him and listen to what he had to say.

"I wonder if you've heard that Hanamichi is also going to the United States..." Mito Yohei told Chie the news as he led her forward.

"Well, both Ryoko and Yumi mentioned it a little bit."

Mito Yohei saw that she didn't want to go into details, and he also understood that she didn't pay much attention to many things.

So, he wanted to tell Chie in detail the ins and outs of Sakuragi going to the United States: "Actually, Coach Anzai knew the American coach Dean Smith a long time ago, which is Jordan's alma mater - North Carolina. Famous coach in college.”

"He often corresponds with Coach Anzai. Coach Anzai introduced the situation of Hanamichi in the letter. Coach Dean is very interested in Hanamichi. He wants to cultivate an excellent yellow player in the final stage of his career..."

"Hanamichi's excellent physical fitness, even surpassing that of black players in all aspects, as well as his excellent golf intelligence, attracted his attention. Therefore, he wanted to bring Hanamichi to the United States as the last disciple of his career..."

"That's great. I hope Sakuragi-san can have a better future."

When Mito Yohei heard Chie say something like "a bright future" from a classmate with whom he had an ordinary relationship, he showed no concern for Sakuragi's future or sincere longing, and it seemed that it couldn't be seen from her face. Sad about the impending separation, he knew that Chie had completely put down Sakuragi and retreated to the position of an ordinary classmate.

"Miss Chie seems to be a bit heartless!" Yohei mocked Sakuragi with a smile.

Chie looked at Mito Yohei with some confusion, not understanding the meaning behind his words. After all, in her opinion, it was Sakuragi Hanamichi who left her first.

Chie smiled bitterly and said: "Then just think of me as ruthless. After all, I am now in a relationship with Rukawa Kaede, and I don't seem to have the right to be passionate about anyone..."

"Besides, if I return to the position of a good friend, it will be more beneficial for Sakuragi to develop other relationships..."

Mito Yohei's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "You said Hanamichi had other romances? How is that possible?!"

Chie looked into the distance with tears in her eyes, "Maybe it was my fault, although I still don't know if it was that incident. Sakuragi-san has never forgiven me, and he went to other girls because of this." .”

"However, times have changed, and there is no need to say this now..."

Mito Yohei heard what she said about "times have changed" and thought of Sakuragi's recent lack of light except for basketball. He was a little angry for a moment. He broke his usual calm attitude and said in a bad tone: "Maybe Times have changed for Miss Chie, but Hanamichi has still not been able to get over the bad news that Miss Chie has dated Rukawa Kaede, but you can already talk and laugh with others..."

"It's my fault. Maybe I should have been with Rukawa Kaede from the beginning, and cut off Sakuragi's thoughts, so as not to cause him so much pain now..." Faced with Mito Yohei's questioning, Chie finally shed tears in pain. Tearing, he confessed: "I'm sorry for wasting more than two years of Sakuragi's time. If you can do anything to make up for my mistake, please tell me..."

Mito Yohei felt a trace of regret when he saw Chie crying and looking vulnerable. He was about to say something when Sakuragi rushed out from behind the tree and shouted to Mito Yohei: "Youhei! Don't say these things to Chie!"

After Chie followed Mito Yohei through the door of Sakuragi's class and was seen by him, he kept following them, hiding in a hidden place and listening to their conversation.

Although, Sakuragi knew that it was not good for him to eavesdrop on their conversation. However, he knew that 80% of what Yohei and Chie said was related to him, and he really wanted to know what Chie thought about him.

And when he heard Chie say that he should be with Rukawa Kaede from the beginning, his heart ached beyond measure. Just thinking about the beautiful memories of the past two years and Chie's gentle comfort and guidance, he couldn't accept it.

When Mito Yohei saw Sakuragi Hanamichi appearing, he decided to leave space for the two of them and not interfere anymore.

So, he patted Sakuragi on the shoulder and whispered to him: "Have a good chat with her and don't leave any regrets to yourself..."

Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded. He walked up to Chie awkwardly, rubbed his hands uneasily, and nervously called her name: "Chie...that...I..."

He didn't know what to say to express his complicated mood at the moment, especially after seeing the love letter Xiandao gave him...

Chie looked at him hesitating and confused, and she interrupted him: "Sakura-kun, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. Because of my reckless behavior in the gym that night, I always wanted to apologize to you. With..."

Sakuragi quickly interrupted her apology. He didn't feel that she owed him anything: "No, it was my fault that day! I shouldn't have had such evil thoughts towards you, Chie..."

Chie didn't expect Sakuragi to have such a strange idea, and said in a daze: "Evil thoughts? I never thought that was an unspeakable shame. On the contrary, it is also part of a beautiful love. But it seems that these are all words now. It doesn’t make any sense anymore…”

Chie's words made Sakuragi Hanamichi feel incredible. He murmured and repeated Chie's words: "Is it part of a beautiful love? I never thought it was like this..."

He felt extremely regretful for his previous indifference to Chie. If she communicated well, Chie would definitely have dated him.

But Chie didn't want to dwell on this matter. After all, no matter how clear the explanation was, she couldn't go back to what she had hoped for before. Especially since Sakuragi was about to go to the United States for development, there was no benefit in giving him hope.

Therefore, before the tears she just shed were dry, she shed tears, pretended to be strong, and said with a smile: "No matter what, Sakuragi-kun, I heard what Yohei said, after you go to the United States, you must You will do better than everyone imagined, we are all looking forward to your performance..."

"But, but this is not what I want most. The life I want most is just to play basketball and have the people I like by my side." Sakuragi looked at Chie with burning eyes. What I’m looking forward to is spending time with Chie.

"Sakura-kun, there will be girls who only follow you with your eyes. I have never been focused enough. I am not worthy of your expectations. I am not worthy of your love..."

Judging from that love letter, he was originally the boy closest to Chie and had been with her through three years of high school. However, a strange misunderstanding separated them and made him miserable.

Thinking of this, he suppressed the pain and said in a hoarse voice: "Chie-chan, Rukawa Kaede went to the United States, but I am still here. I know you liked me before. We are together, and I will always be with you." You, I won’t go to the United States.”

Although he knew that Chie would definitely not agree to his unreasonable request at this moment, he still wanted to give it a try. What if it came true? However, reality hit him mercilessly again.

He heard Chie say: "It's funny, Rukawa Kaede once said something similar to me. I told him that I didn't want to carry the burden of another person's life and move forward. Essentially, I was selfish. Now I don't either I will agree to your request..."

"Besides, I have promised Rukawa Kaede to wait for him. You can set your sights on other girls. I don't deserve this..."

The ruthless rejection made Sakuragi shed tears, and he said aggrievedly: "Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you, it's up to me." Then he murmured to himself: "No one else will..."

Finally, he hugged Chie tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. Then, he forced himself to leave the embrace he had coveted countless times and ran away without looking back...
