Be a heartthrob in Slam Dunk

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo in the locker rooms.”

It turned out that Sakuragi Hanamichi cried all the way back from the end of the game.

The final score of the game between Xiangbei and Hainan was fixed at 88:90. Xiangbei lost to Hainan by two points.

Sakuragi blamed Shohoku's failure on his final passing error.

In the atmosphere shrouded by failure, no one in Shohoku noticed the strange behavior of Kaede Rukawa and Chie in the locker room.

"Today's failure is not a big deal. As long as we win the next two games, we will qualify!" Hisashi Mitsui encouraged everyone at this time.

"Mitsui is right, don't forget, we are the strongest!" Coach Anzai also said encouraging words, "Okay, everyone is dismissed."

The day after the Hainan game, all the players on the basketball team were asleep in class, especially Rukawa Kaede. He fell asleep so much that he forgot everything and drooled all over the table.

Chie turned to look at the empty table by the window, and couldn't help but think of the unwilling, annoyed, crying face she saw in the dressing room yesterday, and her heart was filled with worry.

"Mito-kun, are Sakuragi okay? You haven't been here all day today..." Chie asked Mito Yohei with a worried look on her face in the afternoon.

"Miss Chie, he was very sad yesterday. I wonder if he will do something stupid..." Mito Yohei said worried about Sakuragi while secretly observing Chie's reaction.

"If you do something stupid...what should you do?" The worry on Chie's face deepened.

"Find him quickly and persuade him. Miss Chie, it's up to you... we can't persuade him." Mito Yohei spread his hands and said helplessly.

Mito Yohei wants Chie and Sakuragi to have more contact and create opportunities for them.

As expected, Chie was easily convinced when it came to matters involving Sakuragi Hanamichi.

In this way, in the afternoon, after Chie didn't see Sakuragi in the club, she asked for leave from Yumi and wandered around the field courts and streets near the school, hoping to find Sakuragi. However, she couldn't find any, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

"Where will this little red-haired monkey go to hide and feel sad secretly?" 』Chie feels that Sakuragi is not someone who gives up easily.

Although Sakuragi has not been on this basketball road for a long time, he has encountered many obstacles and encountered various difficulties. Every time, he used his super willpower and super high determination to overcome obstacles. Emotional intelligence and talent, perfectly solved.

She believes that this difficulty will not make him give up basketball easily or give up daily training.

In this case, he might not know how to face his teammates, so Chie guessed that he would wait for his teammates to finish training at night before returning to the gym to practice.

So, Chie walked around the street until eight o'clock, and then prepared to return to the school gymnasium again.

The early summer rain hindered Chie's journey back. The wind carried the raindrops and poured them directly on her body. When she arrived at the gymnasium, her uniform was soaked.

However, there was no light or sound in the stadium. She looked around through the dim street lights on campus. There was no one in the huge venue.

Chie searched around the gymnasium and everywhere in the gym. There was no hustle and bustle in the past, and even small sounds were easily amplified in the silence.

When Chie passed by the locker room, she heard murmurings inside the door.

So, she pushed open the door of the dressing room, and against the street lights outside the window, there was a red head leaning on her arm, covering her face.

Sakuragi heard the sound of the door opening and raised his head. Without the light, he could not identify who the person was. The dark environment amplified his hearing.

"Sakura, is that you? I'm Chie..." Chie's voice was pure and pleasant, and she asked softly and carefully.

Sakuragi suddenly didn't want to respond to her, he wanted to hear this soul-moistening voice again.

Chie was afraid that Sakuragi was still sad, so she didn't want Sakuragi's sad face to be exposed to the light: "I won't turn on the light. Can I come in?"

"Well..." There was a strong nasal sound in his voice.

Chie knelt on the floor in front of Sakuragi, her eyes level with him: "Sakuragi skipped class and practice today, how bad he is!"

"I came to school early today. I originally wanted to say 'great' to Sakuragi early, and wanted to let you know how great your performance was yesterday, but..."

Chie's words stunned Sakuragi for a while, and then he heard her say: "If I were a family member of Sakuragi, one day in the future, when a reporter interviews me, please ask Ms. Sakuragi, what do you think of the basketball star Sakuragi?" Which game is Hanamichi's most memorable game?' So, I would definitely say it was the game against Hainan University affiliated to him in his freshman year of high school, because that was the first game in which he scored a slam dunk..."

"Miss Chie...thank you." Sakuragi's voice was choked with sobs, and she always lowered her head.

"Sakura...be happy."

In a dark environment, hearing is infinitely amplified. The pure voice entwined into his ears, making Sakuragi's ears feel a little numb. Through the nerves, it was connected to the dry throat. The itching and dryness coexisted, suppressing his originally low mood, which inexplicably rose up. Another meaning.

This feeling was more unbearable than the heat generated by physical contact in the past, and Sakuragi didn't know how to respond to Chie.

"Sakuragi, wait for me here while I go back to the classroom to get my schoolbag. Promise me that you will come to school tomorrow!"

She touched Sakuragi Hanamichi's soft red hair, and she couldn't control it. Her instinct prompted her to touch it again and again.

"Well, I promise you..."

Damn it! The gentle caress on his head made his throat feel dry and itchy in layers, making him lose the ability to think. Promising everything she said was the only thing he could do.

Reason returned, Chie stopped what she was doing. I hurriedly ran back to the classroom from the gym to get my schoolbag, but got caught in the rain again.

By the time she took her schoolbag and ran back to the gym, she was already shivering. The early summer rain was still quite cool.

Two voices came from the stadium: "I lost the game because of my lack of physical strength!" "It was because I passed the wrong ball!"

What came into view next was Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi fighting again, shouting "It's me!" "It's me!" while fighting back - no one was giving in to the other.

Chie suddenly felt a headache and quickly stopped her: "You two, stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

However, it was of no use. The two of them were completely immersed in the barrier of fighting, and no one could break it.

These two childish boys really worried her, so she had to cry pitifully: "It's me!"

"It's all my fault for provoking Kiyota Nobunaga...wuwuwu...it's all my fault!" She covered her face with her hands and squatted down.

Although she rationally felt that the loss had nothing to do with her, to make these two guys stop, all they could do was rely on their acting skills.

Fortunately, this method works quite well. Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi stopped fighting instantly and looked at Chie nervously.

"Miss Chie, please don't cry. It makes me feel so uncomfortable when you cry..." Sakuragi was so anxious that she almost cried.

Chie stood up, spread the fingers of one hand and peeked at them with one eye: "Then you can't fight..."

Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi both stared at her blankly, their faces instantly turning red: "Okay..." "Okay..."
