Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"what--"

Tsukishima Hotaru wiped the sweat from her chin.

The match against Xiaogu was indeed very stressful. Even though it was a practice match, the opponent's main lineup was not fully deployed, which still put a lot of pressure on our side.

Under the black-framed glasses, the golden eyes glanced at Hinata Shoyo who looked excited.

It's just a win by one goal, it's really a big fuss. A game is about more than one point.

Precisely because the scores are similar, we should not take it lightly.

Speaking of which...

That one over there, isn’t the sight a bit too intense??!

Yeyue carefully observed every move of the tall, blond boy on his own field.

His tall stature elongates the lines of his muscles, but the outline of his muscles is not obvious, and he is still relatively slender overall. His muscles are only revealed every time he jumps, and his strength is greater than you can imagine.

Her arms and legs are very long, her waist is thin, and her proportions are very good. Her white hands are stretched straight when blocking the net, her long fingers are also tightly stretched, and her nails are trimmed very neatly...

Eh - it's clearly the same person with a different identity, which gives people a very novel feeling.

Yeyue was amazed in her heart.

"Yeyue? Can you come and help?"

"Yes~"

Retracting her gaze that was always glued to her boyfriend, Yeyue responded to Kiyomizu Kiyoko, "Go get a new towel?"

"Well, the batch from this morning has dried up. We need to replace it."

"I see. Tsukishima-kun has been working very hard lately."

The two of them coincidentally concealed the fact that they were dating, but Yeyue actually had no intention of hiding it.

"yes,"

As a senior and manager, Kiyoko Shimizu has always been keeping an eye on the juniors' situations. She curled her lips with some satisfaction, "With Tsukishima-kun as the main blocker, the defensive system has matured. The coach is also very happy."

"Hmm~ He looks so handsome when he's working hard. I can't take my eyes off him!"

Yeyue nodded, took a few steps and turned around in front of Qingshui Jiezi, with a bright smile on her delicate face and her black hair swirled in a soft arc in the air.

"Yeah." Seeing her junior schoolmate smile, Kiyoko Shimizu also subconsciously smiled.

I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the other person’s words, “Come to think of it, Yeyue was watching Tsukishima-kun during the game.”

"Yup!"

She said calmly, "He's really handsome!"

Kiyoko Shimizu smiled and still didn't feel anything was wrong.

"Come on, a little while longer, the game is almost over, and we'll need a towel."

"Ah."

When they came back after changing the towels, the boys had indeed finished the game and were receiving punishment. However, judging from the expressions of Xiaogu's people, this game did not seem to be easy either.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yeyue handed a towel to Yamaguchi Zhong beside him.

"Thank you. Huh? Is that a new towel?"

"Yes, it still smells like the sun, warm and fragrant, right?"

"Yeah, it's very comfortable and can relieve some of the fatigue. Thank you for your hard work, Yeyue-san."

Yamaguchi Tadashi wiped his face with a towel, and felt his mood gradually calming down. He put on a gentle smile and lowered his head.

"I'm okay."

Yeyue curved an arc as usual and was about to say something when he felt someone looking towards him.

"Tsukishima-kun."

The girl saw the boy's face turned towards her, and although the lenses of his glasses were shining, his line of sight was very clear.

Stars appeared in her eyes and her smile deepened, "Towel and water...ah, gone."

As soon as Yeyue raised the thing in his hand, the boy turned away, and the syllables were stuck in his throat halfway through his words.

She didn't care. She kept smiling and pointed at Tsukishima Hotaru. She felt very amused and turned to Yamaguchi Tadao, "Do you hate me again?"

"that……"

Yamaguchi Tadashi was also confused as he looked at his friend's back, "Well - I think it will be fine."

Yeyue narrowed her eyes as he did, "I think so too."

Hinata Shoyo gulped down the water, and he felt refreshed like a little orange-haired puppy that had stepped into a water source from the desert. "Kageyama! Do you think that Yeyue-san seems to be paying special attention to that Tsukishima guy today?"

Tsukishima's eyelids twitched and he tightened his grip on the water bottle.

"what?"

Kageyama Tobio looked at his partner and frowned as if recalling something, "Isn't she always like this?"

"Kageyama Tobio, you're such a slow-witted guy, you didn't pay so much attention to that Tsukishima guy before!"

Hinata Shoyo jumped up and down in dissatisfaction.

"You're the slow one! Besides, that guy even knows the names and personalities of the other team members. It's not strange for him to pay attention to Moon Island!"

Kageyama Tobio yelled at Hinata Shoyo, "We met Senran's group at dinner yesterday, and Yeyue was able to call out all their names. Even we can't do that!"

"Well--"

Hinata Shoyo pondered for a moment and said, "That's right!"

Tsukishima Hotaru, who had been listening attentively, breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt something was wrong. Why was she so nervous?

Then he turned around and met Yeyue, who had been looking at him, with a vicious look.

Just shut up!

Didn’t you see that even Hinata Shoyo, a brainless guy, noticed that something was wrong!

She tilted her head, a smile with a hint of doubt on her face, and waved her hand at him, "Come on, Tsukishima-kun, don't be distracted!"

Don't talk to me, idiot! Why are you so slow only at times like this? Are you pretending? ! !

Hinata Shoyo looked towards Tsukishima and immediately saw his ferocious face, and he shuddered in fear.

"Kageyama, it looks like the manager and Tsukishima are arguing again."

"Huh? That's not very normal."

Although she wanted to talk to Tsukishima Hotaru the next day, she would avoid her whenever she saw her, and her behavior was even more exaggerated than before when she disliked her.

Even Yamaguchi Tadashi quietly asked him if he should help him and Tsukishima Hotaru to ease the tension, such as finding a time for them to be alone or something...

Yeyue agreed decisively.

So, that night.

Tsukishima Hotaru looked at the smiling girl in front of him with a dark face, and felt a lump in his chest.

"you……"

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"You're the one who cares too much about my business. Just calm down for a while. Your attitude has changed so much! Even that idiot Hinata has noticed it."

Tsukishima Hotaru turned her head and tried to keep her tone as calm as possible.

Yeyue tilted her head, her face full of confusion, "But, shouldn't boyfriends and girlfriends focus all their attention on each other? I'm doing that...right?"

"...Haha - So even though you're the most popular person, Yeyue-san has never been in a relationship. Does that mean I'm your first love? Tsk - I'm really honored."

Tsukishima Hotaru put her hands in her pockets and her tone unconsciously became bad again.

"Popularity and such are fine, it's not what I want. Besides, Tsukishima-kun is definitely my first love."

Yeyue ignored the thorn in the other party's words, only extracted the key information, and replied in detail, "Also, compared to others, I now hope to be welcomed by Tsukishima-kun..."

"..."

The boy took a deep breath, and the next moment he pinched the girl's soft cheeks with his slender hand, using a little force with his slightly cold thumb and index finger, "You really didn't do this on purpose?"

"?"

Ye Yue looked at the boy's fair and clean face. The pair of golden eyes that were always hidden behind the black-framed lenses were filled with forbearance and inquiry. Even though it was concealed very well, her ears felt a little hot.

She blinked her clear red eyes, and suddenly realized something, "My boyfriend is very handsome!"

"……ha?!"
