Be a heartthrob in Slam Dunk

Not long after the conversation with Chie, Sakuragi Hanamichi flew to the United States to continue his basketball career.

Although he no longer had any hope of dating Chie, in his heart, Chie's status was still irreplaceable. He retained the good memories and excitement of the past three years, came to a strange country, and began to... a new life.

……

On a daily basis, Chie’s life is mainly about studying. But because she was dating Rukawa Kaede, they sometimes talked to each other on the phone at night. For the convenience of contact, both of them applied for email addresses.

Chie, who is about to take an exam, commutes between school and private school every day. The days were very busy and fulfilling.

Rukawa Kaede had just entered college and was not very fluent in the language. During training, he often couldn't understand the instructions of his coach and teammates, so he made many mistakes. Moreover, as a freshman in college, his physical fitness is not as good as that of Westerners, and his basketball skills are not as proficient as those of senior students. As a result, he has been on the bench for several practice games.

All these problems made Rukawa Kaede somewhat powerless. However, since childhood, he has established the belief that he must improve his basketball skills no matter what, and his passionate love for basketball has always supported him.

He participates in team training seriously during the day, and also takes care of cultural classes. He spends almost all his spare time on the basketball court. In the evening, I continued to practice speaking and listening, and became familiar with professional basketball terminology.

As a result, he and Chie barely have much time to communicate and share their lives with each other. Rukawa Kaede, who has a weak sense of the surrounding environment and life details, often writes emails with the following contents -

"Everything is fine, don't think about it."

"Chie-chan, I miss you so much."

"Although I'm a little tired, I can still hold on."

Or just briefly introduce the basketball game or practice match of the day.

Although the text is simple, Chie can often understand the difficulty of Rukawa Kaede under the concise text. Every time she replied, she would tell Rukawa Kaede about the interesting things and interesting encounters she had encountered in the email, and encourage Rukawa Kaede in various ways.

Time flies, and the exams in late February and early March ended quickly. Then, Chie successfully entered the interview. After the interview, her tight strings finally relaxed.

After many rounds of selection, she saw her name on the lists of both universities. Three years of hard work finally bore fruit. The excited Chie jumped three feet high with joy the moment she saw that she was on the list.

Although she knew that it was midnight in the United States and Rukawa Kaede was already asleep, she always felt lacking without her relatives around to share the joy of victory with her. Therefore, she wanted to call Rukawa Kaede and her brother who were closest to her.

Chie dialed the number, and after a long time, Rukawa Kaede picked up and asked in a soft and ignorant voice: "Is this Chie-chan? I knew you would call me impatiently to share the joy of victory... …”

"Kaede, I have good news for you. I was admitted to Tokyo University!" Chie shouted happily into the phone.

"Congratulations!" There was a smile in Rukawa Kaede's voice. He was proud of Chie's success. "Your efforts are all worth it!"

"That's right! All your efforts are worthy of praise! Feng, your efforts will definitely be seen on the court!"

"Um……"

Chie's excited mood calmed down a little, and she felt Rukawa Kaede's slowness in communication. She thought of his sleepy nature, and hurriedly drove him to bed...

Although Chie's brother knew that his sister's academic performance was excellent, he did not expect that she would be so good that she would be on the Tokyo University list...

Sugiyama Shota immediately said that when Chie comes to Tokyo, she must come to him first to get her glory. When the league comes, he hopes that his team can also win the league championship.

The two chatted and laughed on the phone for a while, then put down the phone.

There was less than a month left before her real high school graduation. Chie had fulfilled her wish and was admitted to her ideal school. At this time, she felt truly relaxed and at a loss as to what to do.

Fortunately, the whole grade in the third year of high school organized a fun trip together, and there were several locations to choose from. In order to give herself something to do, Chie responded positively, and made an agreement with Yumi and Ryoko to choose Huigen together.

On this day, the sky was clear and clear, and dozens of third-year students from Xiangbei High School took the Shinkansen to Huigen.

Outside the car window, the mountainous peaks caught Chie's eyes, and the sounds of classmates fighting in the car reached her ears.

Everyone seemed not to be fully aware of the sadness of parting yet, but Chie felt a little sad in her heart on this speeding train.

"Chie, are you thinking that graduation is about to happen and you can't bear to leave everyone?" Yumi saw Chie's unhappy look and pulled her face back, forcing her to face her.

Chie rested her head on Yumi's shoulder, held her in her arms, and sighed: "Three years have gone by too fast, and I feel like it hasn't been enough yet..."

Ryoko touched Chie and Yumi's hair and comforted: "Although we can't get close to each other, we are not far away. Tokyo, Kamakura, and Yokohama are all two or three hours' drive away."

Liangzi's words are not unreasonable, but Chie deeply understands that the encounter between people is not just about distance. Busy life and new friendships will distract the original attention. If there is no strong feelings, or the two parties cannot separate the energy to maintain it, the friendship will not last at all.

But Chie will not express such thoughts, because no one can predict the future...

After arriving in Huigen, the group stayed in a large B&B. Chie and the three of them shared a room. After packing their luggage, they went out with a few close friends, including Ryoko's boyfriend Tanaka and several of Tanaka's friends.

Everyone was talking and laughing along the way. Without Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede by Chie's side, the boys can be more open-minded and there is no longer any obstacle when communicating with Chie, and Chie also responded to several boys' questions politely and with a smile.

Unexpectedly, I heard a familiar voice saying sourly: "So Rukawa Kaede is not around, you can also joke like this to other boys?"

Chie heard someone mention the name "Rukawa Kaede" and subconsciously turned her head to look at the source of the sound. When she saw the person walking towards her clearly, she ignored his rude words and burst into surprise and innocence. smile...
