Squeak──Akashi stopped abruptly, and passed the ball perfectly to Kotaro Hayama with a backhand, breaking through Seirin's defense and opening the score again.I look at the clock, fuck, there's just over a minute to go.Looking at the field again, Kagami Taiga, who was obviously out of gas, didn't know what was supporting him, his tired feet moved again, and he cooperated with his teammates to deal with Akashi seamlessly.

It can no longer be said that Akashi's state is not good. Now, it is true that the two teams are at a stalemate. Luoshan's team cooperates and is indeed not as good as Seirin.There is also Kuroko who cooperates with Vulcan. Even Akashi can't predict the cooperation between the two. Vulcan's personal ability is also quite outstanding, and no one can stop Kuroko's interception.

Not reconciled.

I sat on the bench and stared at the field, clasped my hands tightly. Supervisor Platinum stood up and yelled with other bench players, and the referee had no time to control us in the tight rhythm of the game.

Hold.

Fuck me!

The last goal was a four-pointer and a rebound by Seirin who fought for a foul.Kuroko snatched the ball by stealth, and Akashi quickly returned to the defense. When everyone thought that Kuroko, who had just learned how to shoot, would shoot, he actually passed the ball to Vulcan at this critical moment, bypassing Akashi's defense .And Vulcan, of course, won't miss it.

The basketball passed through the hoop, shook the white net, and landed in everyone's sight.

"Wow!!!!" There were loud shouts in the gymnasium.

As soon as the whistle blew, at the end of the game, [-] points to [-] points, Luoshan lost by one point.Kuroko's calm pass at the end showed his genuine on-court experience and composure as Teiko's main pick, as well as his trust in his teammates as Seirin's main pick.

I made a bitter arc on my lips.Akashi, he lost to excellent teamwork, what a happy ending, huh?

Luoshan lost.

Akashi lost the game.

Cheers erupted from the audience, and everyone on the Luoshan bench lowered their heads, silently ushering in the first defeat of the year.My eyes fell on Akashi, he stood there in a daze, smiled and suddenly cried.Fuck, my chest hurts like hell.Even Akashi couldn't be calm enough to at least finish the salute. I don't need to look to know the expressions of the others.I took a deep breath, stood up with a towel and water, and reached out to pat the other team members who stayed there, asking them to help with other supplies.Fuck, today I suddenly stood up, squatted and half-kneeled, the Winter Cup schedule is very tight, my feet hurt so much, one person can't control so many brats.

So, let's all welcome them back to Luoshan Wildlife Park.

Under the instructions of the referee, players from both sides lined up in the midfield, saluted, and Akashi smiled and shook hands with each other.Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Akashi smiling—not sneering—on the basketball court.When they came back, I stood with my feet together, folded my hands in front of me, and gave them the highest salute, a ninety-degree bow.

Akashi is right, I actually understand all these red tapes.

"Thank you for your hard work. Congratulations on becoming the runner-up of the Winter Cup." I straightened up and smiled, "Yes, welcome back."

"Thank you." The other bench players also said.

I looked at Akashi, and he also walked over with a smile, his delicate face was still stained with tears, his eyes were red, and he looked extremely embarrassed.Akashi has always performed very well, but in the final analysis, he is still a boy who will cry when he loses a game.

"I'm sorry," Akashi said with a wry smile, "I really don't want you to see me like this, but I can't keep calm any longer. I lost. I can't fulfill the promise to bring you the Winter Cup ,Feel sorry."

Heartache to death.

"I said," I smiled, looked into Akashi's eyes, and opened my hands, "Do you want a hug?"

Akashi paused, then quickly took a step forward, and hugged me tightly with open arms.I put my arms up and around his neck, throwing the towel and water bottle on the floor.Akashi buried his face in my neck, whimpered, and tears flowed down my neck and into his clothes.The bridge of my nose is sore.I opened my eyes and took a deep breath quietly, calmed down, and patted the back of his head with my wide palm.

"Yes," I said softly, "welcome back." I touched my head.

"..." Akashi hugged my waist tightly, sobbing softly.

"..." Considering Akashi's wrist strength, I was really worried that my waist would be broken.I exhaled lightly, "Yes, thank you for your hard work." Touching the head, touching the head.Silly boy.I also hugged Akashi back hard, "Thanks for your hard work." My heart felt aching.I rubbed the back of his head, in a trance, so as to relieve the pain in my heart.

This is Akashi Seijuro's No. 16 winters, thank you for your hard work.

"Sorry," Akashi said again after a long time, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"What are you talking about, I can't understand at all." I patted the back of his head, "Don't underestimate women, at least you still have the strength to stand here and be broken by your waist. I thought you were the only one Are the shoulders invincible? Go to hell, what the hell. Your senpai, I am Takahashi Sakura, Teiko's Highness." Ah, I complained to myself again.

"Pfft." Akashi chuckled.

"Laughing at your sister," he touched his head, messed up Akashi's hair thoroughly, and then slowly combed it, "Listen, don't be afraid of being too arrogant, anyway, it doesn't matter how arrogant you are with me, no matter You can't compare to me in any way. So, if you want to cry, just learn to run over by yourself, if you refuse to come over to talk about face and other boring things with me, that's easy, if you don't hug me, I'll find someone else. "

Akashi's arms, which had already been loosened a lot, tightened again, and said with a low smile, "It really seems like you would have a speech."

"Fuck, you want to laugh at me for being bluntly uneducated. What kind of impolite words are you talking about to people whose Chinese language is over [-] years old?" I gently pushed him away and wiped his face with my hands. I know you're stupid." Then he slapped him on the shoulder vigorously, "Go, the award is here, go and get the medal back with my teammates." I turned my wrist and pointed at myself with my thumb, "Bring it back to me, sister, I like it A glittering medal."

"Yeah, I got it." Akashi let go of me, turned around after tidying up his appearance a little, and went to the podium in the center of the field again to win the runner-up belonging to Luoshan.

Under the flashing spotlight, there are a group of boys crying and laughing, sweating profusely, and extremely embarrassed.

When everything was over, the rare and kind Supervisor Platinum said that he invited him to dinner without paying for it, and everyone cheered.I handed over the other supplies to Terasawa Souta, the manager of the first army, and I also carried a few thick and large folders, and walked behind.

"Terazawa, you go with them first."

"Hey!!!" Terasawa Sota exclaimed, "Isn't Miss Takahashi coming?" The teenagers in front also turned around when they heard the sound.

I smiled slightly, "Did you think you don't need to hold a review meeting after the competition? Captain Akashi, is that what you mean?" I know that everyone is already very tired today, and they are not in a good mood after losing the game, but the more When you lose, you have to persevere.You don't have to have a meeting right away as usual, but you definitely can't let it go.

"I understand," Akashi nodded, and looked at his watch. "Leave it for three hours, and return to the hotel for a meeting at ten o'clock in the evening." He looked at me, "Shall I organize the report with you?"

"No," I smiled and pulled the Platinum Supervisor who was trying to escape very shrewdly, "You have worked hard today, please hand over the work to those who have nothing to do. You should relax first." I smiled brighter , "Because today's review meeting will be very cruel."

"..." Everyone trembled inexplicably, Akashi turned around and gave everyone the back of their heads.

So Supervisor Platinum left the wallet to the teenagers, and I treated him to instant noodles, and I also bit into the super spicy instant noodles while sorting out the contents of the review meeting.Supervisor Platinum was also tired today. After he sorted out the outline of the meeting, I drove him to meet the teenagers and told him to bring me delicious food. I sat alone in the room and sorted out the rest.The conscientious manager Souta Terasawa also rushed back an hour later to help me sort out the materials.

An hour before the meeting, we put everything in order.I made an excuse to go shopping, so I went back to my room. As soon as I closed the door, I couldn't help but hold on to the door to stand firm, and my right foot shook like a sieve.I slid along the door and sat on the ground, resting.To be honest, the job of basketball team manager is too heavy for me.I reached out and rubbed my knee gently.Before the crossing, I was healthy, but I didn't have the opportunity to play basketball; after the crossing, I didn't even have bad talent, but the whole right calf was broken, and I don't know how many steel nails and brackets were installed inside.Opportunities are not always easy to grasp.

But if you have already obtained it, at least you cannot let it go easily.

After resting, I stood up and walked slowly to the edge of the bed to sit down. I took my clothes and took a hot bath. Then I fixed my right foot skillfully with a bandage to reduce the burden on it. Then I put on long pants and sneakers. A big sweater.Fuck, I forgot to mention that the team members take a shower before the meeting, they won't remember it.Ahh, it stinks.

Seeing that it was almost time, I went down to the conference room of the hotel. Terasawa had already copied all the materials and distributed them to others, and Akashi also brought me back my favorite food.After I thanked them, I took it, and I ate on the sofa beside me, listening to their meetings, and occasionally raised my hand to speak and beat the team members in order to hone their hearts.

After the meeting, the hour hand was already pointing to twelve, Terasawa Souta and I exchanged winks and asked the managers to catch the boys to take a shower and sleep again.After a long day of exhaustion, I should always be able to fall asleep better, but if I really can't sleep, I can't help it.After all, he lost the game.

"Are you okay?" Akashi walked over, "Are you tired today too?"

"It's okay." I waved my hand, "Go take a shower quickly, I don't mind that much."

Akashi paused for a moment, then looked at me, "Are you, have you minded this since you hugged me just now?"

"If you have to choose someone, why should I hug someone who stinks?" I rolled my eyes.When he just came off the court, fuck it, I can hold him like a haloed love.

"..." Akashi turned his back, "I understand."

"..." carry on.What do you understand.

But he didn't go on talking, he lifted me from the sofa, took me back to the room, and left, so I didn't have a chance to ask about the two Akashi.I sat quietly by the bed for a while, put my hand on my right knee and rubbed it lightly, then picked up my phone and dialed my father.

"Yeah? Sakura? You haven't slept so late... Ah, hey, Horio, don't let me fall asleep, let me go! Ah, sorry, sorry, Sakura, what do you want? In Kyoto How are you doing?" Looks like Dad is still working.

I twitched the corner of my mouth, and I said that I am in Tokyo now, hello.I shook my head and laughed.

"Sakura?"

"Dad, I would like to ask you to accompany me to the hospital tomorrow, because I need a guardian to be admitted to the hospital."

"...Ah, Dad is busy with work and will buy you chicken legs later... What? What? The hospital? Sakura, what's wrong with you? Don't, don't scare Dad!"

I covered my forehead, "It's okay, please don't be nervous, I just feel that my right foot is a little out of place. I'm sorry, it seems that I messed up again."

"Oh, it's this... Let me see, I only have an hour and a half free at noon tomorrow, and I can't go to Kyoto..."

"I'm in Tokyo."

"……what?"

"Because the team has games." I said with a wry smile.

"Ah, this~ That's great, I can come to pick you up, Sakura, don't be afraid. Yes, don't tell mom, she will lose her temper again when she hears that you are still on the basketball team. Cut."

"..." The fact is that when I went to the capital for Luoshan, my mother agreed, and my father scolded me for a long time before letting me go. "Yes, I understand. Sorry to trouble you again."

"No no. That's right, Sakura, it's been almost a year, how are you doing in the new school in Kyoto? Will some classmates bully you? If someone bullies you, you have to tell your father, and your father will cheer you up and pass the stick, Watch Sakura fight back!"

"Do not……"

"Hey!" Before I could speak, my father yelled at his colleagues again, "Idiot, don't file the instant noodle juice for me! Let Mr. Kato see, are you going to die?"

"No, it's all right. Please work hard and see you tomorrow. Goodbye." I finished the words softly with a smile and hung up the phone.I'm not afraid that Dad will forget to pick me up tomorrow, he hasn't forgotten his schedule yet.

I fell sideways on the bed and was gently bounced by the soft bed.very tired.I cover my face with my hands.The Luoshan basketball team lost.I kicked off my shoes and climbed onto the bed to lie down. The large font was lying comfortably, but my eyes were looking at the chandelier on the ceiling, unable to fall asleep.

I still remember how I felt when I won the national championship for the first time with Luoshan this summer.

Having said that, the champion in Luoshan is also a plot.

I sat up, put on hotel slippers, took the keys and cell phone, and walked out of the room.The hotel in Luoshan has an indoor basketball court, and Luoshan reserved it until the end of the game.I opened the door of the gymnasium with the key card, walked to the dark basketball court, fumbled to turn on the light, and then slowly walked to the basketball cabinet.I stuffed my keys and cell phone into my trouser pockets, and reached out to poke the basketballs one by one.I picked a basketball that was inflated and felt good, and I slowly walked to the free throw line.

How can I not remember how to do it.I bent down holding the basketball, and when I was about to squat with my feet apart, I felt a heart-pounding pain from my right foot. I couldn't help losing my balance for a moment, and I jumped forward with a bang.I touched my sore nose, and my hand was bloody.Hold.I pressed my hands to the floor and sat up, wiping my nosebleed with my sleeves.

I laughed out loud.My personality is very bad, and I am still self-willed to this extent. I am really bad when I am bad.

I pressed the floor and stood up again. I started to chase the basketball that rolled to the sideline very slowly. I bent down to support the ground and squatted down. I picked up the basketball, clamped it around my waist with one hand, and supported the ground with the other. Stand up hard and slowly rub to the free throw line again.

I can shoot without squatting. Ichikawa Asahi likes to hook layups casually, far less formal than me.But that doesn't mean I won't.I didn't dare to bend my knees, but I still raised my hands, holding the bottom of the ball with one hand and supporting the side of the ball with the other, with my arms slightly bent, aiming at the basket.No, I don't need to shoot and I feel that I can't shoot at this distance.So, I took another step forward, aimed, pushed my arm down, and pushed up again.

The basketball jumped up along the curved parabola, fell, and then hit the frame, fell out, and missed.Slap, slap, slap, the basketball rolls off the sidelines.I just raised my head like this, looking up at the white net of the basketball hoop that I can no longer shake.

When I came back to my senses, I found that the tears had already flowed out, falling straight down my chin, dripping to the collar and getting wet, and I didn't even have time to hold back.

In fact, I have put it down. I am not a basketball star fool, but... I took a deep breath, raised my head up again, stroked all my forehead hair back with one hand, and put one hand on my hip. Looking at the high ceiling of the gymnasium, I breathed Exhale long.

If I can't do it once, I will take another deep breath and stop the incessant tears.

I'm not such a fragile person.

Footsteps sounded behind him, the kind of deliberate footsteps that were deliberately aggravated in order not to scare people.The person who notices this kind of thing, I don't have to look back to know who it is.

"Can't sleep?" I asked, my voice hoarse.

"You too." Akashi's voice came back as expected.

I lowered my head, withdrew my hands, wiped my face twice with my sleeve, "Mmm."

"Today, I saw you looking very embarrassed."

I smiled and turned around, "It doesn't matter, anyway, you picked me up like a dog in the water. In front of me, it doesn't matter how embarrassing you are, anyway, you must be more embarrassing than me."

"I said," Akashi approached me, took out a handkerchief and wiped it under my nose, "it was your own effort, all I did was say a few words. Frankly, if you don't stand up by yourself, I will never come to help you up at that time." He folded the handkerchief to the other side and gently rubbed my cheek.

"I'm not a good idiot to give you all the credit, I just wanted to say thank you very much."

"No, but you said, I will accept it." Akashi put the handkerchief into his trouser pocket, and then reached out to hug me coldly, his body temperature could be transmitted to my body through the sweater, "As you said Yan, you have seen how embarrassed I am, it doesn't matter how embarrassed you are in front of me."

I froze.Akashi caressed my straight spine up and down with one hand, and supported the back of my neck with the other.

"Relax," he said softly, "Be obedient, take a deep breath." I didn't respond, Akashi sighed, "Be obedient, Saki. Breathe first."

I followed his words and took a breath before I felt as if I was about to suffocate.

"Very good, come on, take a deep breath. Relax." After going back and forth a few times, Akashi slowly pressed my neck down to his shoulder blades, my neck was extremely stiff, he said helplessly: "Saki, be obedient. Take another deep breath." Slowly, my neck bent, my head rested on it, and my back relaxed a bit.Akashi's hand continued to rub my neck, and the other hand kept stroking my back gently up and down.

I don't know how long it took before my back bent down.

"Very good, Saki, very good." He whispered in my ear as if coaxing a child, "It's already good, cry, no one will see you."

"..." My nose and eye sockets were sore, but I just couldn't let the tears fall.

Akashi sighed again, "Hey, be obedient." He moved his hand rubbing the back of my neck upwards, pressing the back of my head, "It's okay, take your time, Saki won't hug me, and I won't leave either. "

I gritted my teeth, and my back became stiff again, but I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and the tears came out of my eyes.

Akashi stroked my back again, "Very good." He patted my head, "Come on, the next step is to cry."

"..."

"Saki."

"..."

"Saki, relax, is that why you don't trust me that much?" Akashi smiled wryly, "Listen to me. The day we first met at the opening speech, didn't you get along very well with Kaori Matsumoto? After you came on stage, she listened to you with a very happy expression, and it can be seen that she really likes you as a junior." Akashi's voice sounded unhurriedly, "As for basketball, frankly speaking, I am I don’t think you will be able to play the "Generation of Miracles", but it is indeed very good. Strategy is the combination of talent and experience. The use of interception and skills makes you have an excellent sense of the ball. Especially your change of hands , Even in the arena, your fluency is not inferior to that of professional players. Saki must have worked hard every day, right? I heard that you started playing in elementary school. Is it more than a year?"

I slowly raised my hand and grabbed the clothes behind Akashi.Fuck, what is he talking about now?

I always feel that some pictures are flashing across my mind one by one.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

"After Matsumoto-senpai passed away, the lights of the women's basketball first team gymnasium will always turn on after school. You have also thought about joining the national team, right? You haven't made up your mind yet, but you have thought about what will happen after you enter. There is also the national competition between middle schools that you couldn't let go of until not long ago. It is not unrelated to you that you lost, but what to do, there is nothing you can do about that period of time. There is no possibility of changing it. "

super ruthless.

I buried my head deeply between Akashi's shoulder blades, while gritting my teeth hard, I still let out a small cry, and my breathing twitched a bit.

But Akashi let out another breath as if he was relieved, rubbed my head and said, "What I'm afraid of is letting go. I think letting go doesn't mean abandoning. As long as you still cherish this past, you will never be right about these things." The meaning of abandonment in the past. Memories will not slip away just because you can’t hold them tight anymore, they are here. Letting go doesn’t mean you forget about Senior Sister. Huh?”

I cried out, my mouth full of rust from a bitten lip.Really let go of everything, really, everything, even time travel.only……

"You have stood up again, but, you still miss the senior sister who passed away, you still like playing basketball, and you still don't mind that you can no longer take care of your feet, right? Stay by your side, but it doesn't mean you can't rely on. Saki let me know that real strength is not avoiding the fact that we will be separated. Ironically, you are the most mistrustful person. Listen to me, To trust with all your heart, no matter how painful it is when you leave, you will not collapse, this is strength. Otherwise, I think this is just an excuse for cowardice to escape. Well, although I have no intention of letting Saki leave. "

I hugged Akashi tightly and cried loudly, my right foot could no longer support me, and I fell down like a collapse.Akashi was brought down by me, then hugged me tightly, put his arms around my waist and pulled me up, leaned on him to borrow strength, and stood alone with the two of us, quietly listening to me Weeping uncontrollably, crying until he was exhausted.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I hugged Akashi tightly, crying until I couldn't help it.

"It's all over. Yes, thank you for your hard work." Akashi leaned his head against my face, "Saki."
