When Lin Qiao took off his mask, there was no sign of Huiyu Lev in the bustling crowd around him.

The summer memorial ceremony ended with the last fireworks, and the crowd slowly surged.Lin Qiao looked around, and then went in the direction of the crowd to find Hui Yu. The stalls and shops were put away, the lanterns began to be extinguished one by one, and the lively memorial ceremony gradually cooled down.But the tall, silver-haired, blue-eyed boy couldn't be seen by the people with eyes full of people.

In fact, Hui Yu was hiding behind a tall tree trunk and watched Lin Qiao looking for him everywhere, watching her go around a piece of human-shaped foam board without giving up, stretching her head to see if he was hiding behind; watching her walk away later. Going faster and faster and tripping over something; watching her grab the ribbon he gave her and shout his name over the empty wooden bridge.Lin Qiao's lonely back running away from the crowd was like a fish swimming against the current, which made Huiyu Lefu feel a little uncomfortable.

Hui Yu remembered that when he was very young, his parents had the most devastating quarrel since he was sensible, and his mother took little Hui Yu all the way back to her hometown in a fit of anger.

What greeted them was the winter in Siberia accompanied by white snow and dry cold air as usual. Faces with high noses and deep eyes came and went at the airport, filling Hui Yu's sight.Hui Yu, who was wrapped into a chubby rice dumpling by her mother, soon had fun in the thick snow with a group of little ghosts who did not speak her own language in the new residence.Stepping on the moonlight to return home, he held a leather hat full of snow in his hand, trembling but also elated, looking as energetic as a lion cub just rolling in the snow.

Mom asked him, Lev, do you like it here, and how about we live here.Hui Yu sniffled, but shook her head honestly.

Mom obviously didn't expect this answer, frowned slightly, raised her hand to smooth his silver hair, "Why?"

"It's too cold." Hui Yu raised her face flushed from the cold, "Mom, it's too cold here. I want to go back to Japan, to Tokyo."

Mother froze for a moment, hugged five-year-old Hui Yu tightly, hot tears fell into Hui Yu's neckline one by one.

"Yeah, it's too cold, because there are no sunflowers, and the warmest plants haven't bloomed yet."

Three days later, Hui Yu's father was wearing a long black trench coat, holding a bouquet of fresh sunflowers and standing upright on the snow outside the door without saying a word.How could there be sunflowers in that season, but the conspicuous bright yellow in his arms was so warm that it seemed to melt a whole sheet of white snow.The moment mother opened the door, her eyes were red, and she threw herself into father's arms and cried loudly.The poor-spoken father hugged his mother tightly in silence, and he didn't know if he had said the most nasty words of love.

My mother always complained about my father's stupid mouth, but how did such a clumsy father catch up with the arrogant and beautiful Russian beauty? My mother said that at that time, I was wandering alone in a foreign country. The sunflowers, which my father spent half a year planting for her.

Sunflower is the warmest plant in the world. It always looks up with a smiling face and tirelessly chases the sun.Unlike the thriving flowers, the flower language of sunflowers is silent love--mother is the sunflower planted in the heart by the taciturn father.

Mom always said that Lev will also find his own sunflower in the future.

Huiyu Lefu found it, but now he is reluctant to take her off.

On the first day of school, Lin Qiao walked into the classroom with the fox mask left by Hui Yu, and hit the back of his unsuspecting head on it.

"pain--"

"Do you dare to disappear quietly next time?" Lin Qiao put the mask on his table and gave him an annoyed look, "I'll let you practice catching the ball until you die, believe it or not!"

"No, I dare not!" Hui Yu opened her eyes wide and covered her head with her hands in aggrieved way, shaking her head like a rattle.Seeing Lin Qiao pull out the chair and sit down, he swallowed, and cautiously moved towards that side, "...Don't you ask me why that day..."

"Will you tell me?"

"For now...don't want to say..."

Lin Qiao spread out his hands, with a helpless expression of "Look, I know it's like this".

"Then... tell me when you want to talk."

Hui Yu was stunned for a moment, then broke into a smile, and nodded solemnly.

The spring high that followed made everyone nervous.Although Yinju successfully passed the first round of the last IH qualifier, it met the champion of last year's national competition in the first round of the second round.Inuoka Samurai, a first-year student who just joined the club, looked at the score board that would never be flipped again. The 1.8-meter-four boy was crying like a child.Lin Qiao held back tears with his red eyes, and handed towels and water to the players who came off the field.

"It's meaningless if you don't win until the end." Heiwei drank his saliva, "But don't forget that we still have Chungao. The chance is still there, cheer me up if you want to win!" He turned around Go knock Lin Qiao on the head, "Cry if you want to cry, you don't need to bear it. Wipe away your tears after crying, we still have a long way to go."

There is still a long way to go-at least this year's third graders will not quit the club until the end of spring high school.

Qingshui Jiezi told Lin Qiao that it was the same with Wu Ye.

"That day, everyone was crying while eating, and I was worried that they would spill their nose into the rice bowl." Jiezi pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes behind the lens curved like two little moons.She put the last volleyball into the basket and stretched her waist, "—I, after the Spring High School, I will give Ren the position of manager. I am somewhat reluctant, but the matter of replacement is not up to us. .Jojo and Renhua are the same, please do your best...Although it's a bit self-willed for me to say this, but whether they fall or grow, I hope you...don't leave. "

Lin Qiao shook her head firmly, "No."

Jiezi blinked in feigned surprise, "Oh? So refreshing. It's really not easy to be a manager for three years."

"It's all done, so let's go with them." Lin Qiao pursed his lips, "...Our president also said that something is better than nothing."

Jiezi's stomach ached from laughing at Lin Qiao's words.Renhua, who had put away the tennis net, ran over to join in the fun, and the three of them stood chatting at the open gate. The cold wind began to blow in in early autumn, and the three girls without coats shivered. Renhua raised her hand and tightened her neckline Shrinking his neck, "The weather is getting colder."

"But some people are as hot as steamed buns."

Lin Qiao and Renhua followed the direction Jiezi pointed to, and saw the team members who had just finished training wearing short-sleeved shorts, steaming all over their bodies, as if they had just come out of a steamer.The girls burst into laughter, and Yue Dao, who was sitting on the ground and taking off the knee pads, raised his head and glanced this way, his eyes accidentally met, Lin Qiao's laughter was squeezed in his throat, and he couldn't help but cough embarrassingly. Voice.She lowered her head and touched her earlobe, it was a little hot.

"I'm going for a run." Lin Qiao found a plausible excuse, squatted down and tightened the shoelaces, "Let's take a step first."

"Huh? But you haven't had dinner yet."

"I'll eat after my run."

Lin Qiao turned around and waved at the two of them, then hurriedly left the gymnasium and ran to the playground.Golden sycamore leaves fell on the concrete floor of the boulevard, and they were trampled by her fine footsteps.The wind in the evening gradually picked up, she folded her arms and rubbed her skin, moved her limbs and started jogging.This is her habit, because she has never participated in sports clubs, so in order to strengthen her physique, she always goes to the playground for three or five laps when the weather just turns cold.

When I ran to the second lap, my body started to heat up, and the fatigue of my muscles made my limbs heavy quickly.She adjusted her breathing slowly, keeping it constant.But there were some things in his heart, so his mind was a bit messed up, and his unsteady breath was now even more messed up. Just after the third lap, Lin Qiao was so tired that he had to stop and bend over to breathe.

...started again, that messy feeling.It doesn't feel good to have your heart beating out of control and out of rhythm.Lin Qiao raised his head and curled his lips against the twilight sky, weakly spread himself out on the red plastic runway like a big cake, closed his eyes and listened to the whirring wind beside his ears, so that his heartbeat would be slow and steady in the cold air of early autumn down.

With the sound of footsteps coming from far to near, Lin Qiao opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly bumped into the light golden eyes that were looking down at him.

"I heard that idiots don't catch colds, but do you really want to test it out?"

"...Please don't beat around the bush and call me stupid."

Lin Qiao snorted and sat up, patting the dust off her body.The body had already cooled down, and the thin layer of sweat was quickly dried, leaving only the cold and sticky coldness on the skin. Lin Qiao touched the goosebumps on his arms, and did not want to fight with Yue Dao, so he stood Get up and walk to the cafeteria.

She couldn't help but sneezed within two steps.

--ha?Playing Bravery?I don't even look at the weight of my body.Tsukishima stared at her slightly flimsy back in a short-sleeved T-shirt, raised his eyebrows habitually and showed a sarcastic smile, unzipped the zipper, took off his coat and threw it on her head.

The refreshing mint smell fell from the top of her head and covered her whole body, drenching every inch of her skin like water splashed from her head.

"...I don't want to wear it." Lin Qiao took off the coat and threw it to him, and said something against his will, "Sweat stinks."

Yue Dao, who took the clothes, had twitching veins on his forehead—he had never seen such a ignorant person, and he was still a girl!

"Would you like to wear it or not." Tsukishima clutched his black coat tightly and strode away.

Lin Qiao stood in the same place without making a sound, and the street lights in the playground flickered on, casting her thin and long shadow alone.She hugged her shoulders and sneezed while covering her nose. The increasingly cold wind entered through her neckline and sleeves, making her a little dizzy.

Seeing Yue Dao seemed to be a little angry, Lin Qiao actually understood that Yue Dao couldn't hold back because he was rejected because of his good intentions, but——Chun Gao was about to come, so there was no need to tell her about the gentleman's character at this time, he put Give her the coat what to do if she catches a cold.For athletes, the body is the capital, which cannot be joked about.

Lin Qiao walked in the direction of the cafeteria, and kicked a thin layer of sycamore leaves piled up under a tree.

——Really, who knows what is right and what is wrong.

The next day, Lin Qiao caught a bad cold as if cursed.Sleepovers and practice games are very precious training opportunities. She didn't want to be absent, and she didn't want to let herself collapse so weakly. So after breakfast, she took twice the amount of cold medicine at once, and drank a large glass of hot water. He looked in the mirror and made sure that he was not sick before rushing to the gym.

But I don't know that the chlorpheniramine in the cold medicine started to work. Lin Qiao's body became more and more uncomfortable. It was only two hours after the morning training time, but she felt extremely uncomfortable. The hand holding the pen was shaking, and she felt sleepy. I couldn't get rid of my eyelids, and when I stood up to help pick up the ball, I was top-heavy. I accidentally tripped over another volleyball that rolled to my feet and nearly fell.

Ye Jiu, who was beside her, quickly helped her up.

"Hey, manager, can you do it today?"

"It's okay." Lin Qiao rubbed the center of his brows, "No problem."

"..." Heiwei rubbed his nose with the back of his hand, "Don't be brave."

"Yes. I can."

As a result, the guy who swears that he is OK in the morning is stuck in bed in the afternoon and can't get up.The severe cold made Lin Qiao's body sore and her throat smoky. She wanted to hold on, but it would be too ugly if she fainted in front of everyone, so she had to ask for leave and leaned over the bed with a thermometer dangling from her mouth.

The afternoon sun is rare to warm up, and the unique high sky and cloudy light imprinted on the glass windows in September is as beautiful as a landscape painting.Lin Qiao took out the thermometer from her mouth and put it on the table, took the normal dose of medicine with hot water, and then rubbed herself into the bed. The bright sunlight shone through the glass and made her feel warm and tired. Her eyelids were heavy. It didn't take long. Shen fell asleep and didn't hear the sound of the dormitory door being pushed open at all.

Yue Dao paused in front of the concealed door, struggled for a long time, and finally opened the door and entered.He stretched his neck and looked over to the bed, it was fine, Lin Qiao fell asleep.He breathed a sigh of relief, sat cross-legged on the floor beside her bed, raised his hand to check the temperature of her forehead, it was still a little hot.As an intruder, he couldn't do anything, so Tsukishima could only look down at the unconscious girl on the bed, silently lost in thought.

......Oh no......

...The way she fell asleep peacefully...it made Tsukishima Hotaru want...to kiss her...

...No one sees...Closer...Closer...Come on...Just a little more.. ....

"Jojo, are you feeling better—"

Huiyu Lefu's voice sounded like thunder outside the door.

The author has something to say: the progress is too slow, isn't it?I decided to hurry up!

Because the speed of the article is faster than the volleyball manga, I can only edit the part that has not been updated in the manga, or maybe cut that part out.
