The author has something to say: 2015.02.03

Xiuwen.

The days after the start of school were actually not easy for a certain period of time-the third graders quit the club, and the backbone was taken away.Lin Qiao took the courage to imitate Heiwei's appearance before and spoke the call before the game.The first time she parroted those words in a dignified way, everyone was stunned for five seconds, and no one responded in the quiet awkward atmosphere, until Tiger Yamamoto saw Lin Qiao hanging up on the tip of his nose due to embarrassment. beads of sweat, he roared angrily before saving the scene.

The lack of team members led to a temporary lack of oxygen in daily training. Lin Qiao learned the most basic serve from his seniors, so that he could help out during training.Because of incorrect posture, her right wrist was red and swollen. Li Xia applied medicine to her in the dormitory, and she gasped in pain.

It wasn't until Yamamoto uttered those words confidently that his morale was finally out of the downturn. Lin Qiao moved his wrist, and suddenly felt that minor injuries and illnesses were nothing serious, so he just had to bear it.

"You've done a great job."

One day during her lunch break, she was blowing air on the rooftop alone, and met a few third graders who had quit the club with bento boxes.Heiwei looked down at her hand, raised his mouth and smiled, raised his hand to pat her head, and said a word.

At that moment, I really wanted to cry.

Ye Jiu, who didn't know why, asked her why her eyes were red all of a sudden, and Hai Xinxing grabbed the corner of her clothes with a smile, "It's the wind, it was blown by the wind." Heiwei raised his hand and grabbed the still messy hair, Nodding in doubt.

Lin Qiao bent down and bowed, the words he said were blown intermittently by the wind, making it hard to hear.His long hair fell from the back of his neck, hanging limply at the corners of his eyes.She lowered her head, and there were a few round water spots in her vision, which were clearly printed on the light gray concrete floor.

Today's wind really hurts my eyes.

Then, the Spring High finals came as scheduled.

The crow finally showed its sharp claws, tore through all the thorns, and flew to the highest place.

Lin Qiao went to watch several games. In the last game, she watched the score board being flipped and then frozen, her eyes finally became hot and humid.

Wiping her tears, she felt that she was so weird—she cried when Tsukishima Hotaru lost, and she was still crying when Tsukishima Hotaru won. In the eyes of others, she looked like a crying fool at best Well, but only she knows that the taste of these two kinds of tears is not the same.

She washed her face, rubbed her red eye sockets in the mirror, and decided to wait until her eyes were no longer so ugly before going out.

People were bustling outside, and there were too many people looking for Wuye to celebrate.Not surprisingly, Wuye Volleyball Club has been friends or foes with all the schools along the way.In the end, the game was won so beautifully. The people who came to congratulate them surrounded them tightly, and the team uniforms of various colors were mixed together, as gorgeous as a rainbow out of order.

Alright alright.Lin Qiao shrugged and had no choice but to stand and watch from a distance.

Tsukishima Hotaru was surrounded by many people.First was his elder brother Yuedao Mingguang, then Mutu Chiwei and his own senior Black Tail.Heiwei Tielang loosely hugged his neck and shook it, while Wooden Rabbit praised him without hesitation, "Mr. Glasses' block just now is so good—it just needs a bang! A bang—by the way, you Did you really eat well? You’re still so skinny! Eat more, next time you’ll stop all the balls with a bang!”

Although he was unwilling to be surrounded by so many people and had to listen to the praise he was not good at handling, pulling his clothes and hooking his neck, Yue Dao still slightly raised the corners of his mouth and acquiesced to these sports that he once thought were troublesome and disdainful and language.

"Yes. Next time, I will continue to work hard."

Lin Qiao saw him lower his eyes, and heard him say this sentence in a slightly awkward but very serious manner.

In this impression, the boy who always likes to put on a bad face and raise his eyebrows to satirize others has finally grown up to a certain extent and can accept the things he used to not resist, admit the passionate words such as dreams and teams, and start Work tirelessly for it.

It is a very lucky thing to witness the transformation of the boy you like.Even if the girl he plans to intertwine with him is not himself, even if he may not be able to participate in the second half of his career after high school-but who hasn't liked one or two such outstanding ones when they were young, but it is impossible to fall in love boy?At least Lin Qiao saw his awkwardness and sharpness, she had been the youngest, willful and cleanest time in his life.

The turmoil in Lin Qiao's heart suddenly calmed down at a certain moment.

When Hotaru Tsukishima cast her gaze over, Lin Qiao happened to turn around and leave.

He saw the long black eyelashes drooping when she turned her face sideways, and he wanted to push her away from the crowd to grab her, but in the few seconds of hesitation, he was immediately pulled away by the booing team members, saying that he was going to the celebration banquet, Coach Wuyang treated the guests, so a large group of people, no matter they were members of the Wuye volleyball team or not, went to a barbecue restaurant in a noisy way, and the mighty appearance attracted the attention of passers-by.

Yue Daoying followed a large group of people to the left, and Lin Qiao walked to the right alone.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt like he was about to move

——"If you want to go home alone, why not go to the celebration banquet together!"

But the one who said this before Hotaru Tsukishima was the one who had already left the crowd and ran up to grab Lin Qiao's wrist, Leo Huiba.

Yue Dao licked his dry lower lip, restrained the flickering gaze that was originally looking at Lin Qiao, turned his head nonchalantly, and continued to move forward with the large army.

A large group of tall teenagers squeezed into the messy and noisy shop.The vigorous boys rolled up their sleeves to reveal their tight forearms.The girls are busy tending the fragrant roasts and distributing intoxicating juices.The bright orange chandelier overhead carved restless shadows on the wall.The hostess's glowing face and the endless plates of pink fresh meat with dark sauces.

Lin Qiao lamented how time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, the last time such a lively barbecue feast was already in summer vacation.

She raised her hand and pulled her hair. When she lowered her head, she could see the end of her hair hanging on her collarbone.

The passage of time has gradually lengthened Lin Qiao's hair, and now she can easily tie them into a ponytail that hangs down softly, and is no longer as frizzy as it was when she had short hair.

After that, the birthday that she had forgotten suddenly became clear.One night before Lin Qiao was about to turn off her phone, a text message sprinted into her phone.

[Sender: Huiba Lefu

jojo!Happy birthday!

above! 】

She felt silly at the three exclamation marks that came into her sight. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.After looking through the mobile phone log, I realized that it seems that tomorrow is really her birthday.But now she stares at those numbers and feels a little familiar—no, not the kind of familiarity that wakes up after seeing those numbers, "Oh, it's my birthday", but... I've been looking at the scoreboard for a long time, It's possible that seeing these numbers up to and including 31 will produce some kind of subtle coincidence.

When I went to school the next day, I opened the shoe cabinet and found that there was a gift stuffed in it—a doll, the wobbling sunflower in Plants vs. The sun waited for Lin Qiao's finger to point a little and then collected it. It was... exactly the same as the guy who gave her the gift.

On the following day, Lin Qiao received many gifts one after another.

The trinkets from the roommates, the matcha mousse from the volleyball club, and the hardcover art collections from Mr. Yamamoto all piled up on the table clangingly. The students passing by her seat glanced at her dazzling desktop and said to her with a smile on their faces. Say happy birthday.

Lin Qiao was dazed, and when she raised her head to thank her, she found that the man had gone far away.

She didn't know how to explain the emotions that were rushing through her internal organs, it came too suddenly, and with the blood flow fermented and swelled everywhere in her body, her heartbeat was unbearable.

In my impression, I don’t remember telling anyone about my birthday. She has always kept herself in a shell and didn’t want to reveal too much emotion on her face. She didn’t want to rely on anyone and didn’t expect anything extravagantly. This was before the age of 16 Lin Qiao's understanding of "strong" and "mature".But today she realized that she was still naive—otherwise, how could she be filled with such unexpected happiness, which made her suddenly feel—ah, so I am not alone on this road.

And around ten o'clock in the evening, the phone rang.Lin Qiao hid under the quilt and held the phone, a small piece of non-stop flashing white fluorescent light illuminated the dark quilt.She rubbed against the quilt again, breathed on her frozen fingers, and then pressed the answer button.

It was my mother calling, and her voice seemed to be mixed in the hula-la-la-la wind and snow.She said she was in Moscow and her ears were falling from the cold, but she sounded extraordinarily happy on the other end of the phone.Lin Qiao also laughed along here, and casually made a few family gossip.Mom said hang up, it's past ten o'clock, go to bed early, good night.

She said yes and hung up the call.

On the screen of the mobile phone that had not yet dimmed, there was no message of the person she was waiting for.

Still a little foolishly looking forward to the birthday greeting from Hotaru Tsukishima, Lin Qiao tried to persuade herself to give up the idea of ​​anticipation, she turned off the phone and stuffed it under the pillow before going to sleep.

Hotaru Tsukishima put the phone on the table and stared at it for an entire hour with her arms around her. She didn't know what tone to use to send a text message to a girl.After thinking for a long time, he still deleted the edited "Happy Birthday" word by word.

The cursor flickered on the white screen, and Tsukishima thought he was ridiculous—as early as the winter vacation, Yamaguchi came to Tsukishima’s house and sat by his bed, clasping the edge of the bed with his fingers in embarrassment, timidly He opened his mouth and asked Tsukishima, who was playing PSP at the desk, "... Yue, I want to ask Manager Taniji to go to the aquarium...how should I tell her?"

At that time, Tsukishima Hotaru didn't take this kind of thing seriously at all. She raised her eyebrows and showed a playful expression, "Say it directly. Just ask her, do you want a date?"

"Yue—I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too." Tsukishima put down the PSP that had already displayed the word "YOUWIN", gathered the books on the table, and shrugged indifferently, "If you ask me, this is my opinion."

He lightly suggested that his young tame ran directly to ask the new manager of their volleyball club Hitoka Guji, but he couldn't hit the straight ball no matter what.Just like when Lin Qiao came to deliver strawberry cakes to them during the winter vacation, after being teased innocently by his brother that day, he was also stuffed with two movie tickets.

"I don't... I don't want to go. Why do two big men go to this kind of movie——" Tsukishima Hotaru's eyebrows were almost crinkled, and he looked at his brother with a strange expression on his face.

"So, let's ask her out." Mingguang softened his expression, raised his hand and tapped Yingying's head, trying to knock out all the awkward factors that were tangled in this guy's brain circuit.The elder brother said again solemnly, "Yingying, if you want to, just say it."

But when Yue Dao Hotaru held the ticket to go to ask Lin Qiao, she saw her and her grandfather carrying luggage out.Only then did he know that they were going back to Tokyo.He gave them a hand to carry their luggage to the station, watched the two of them get on the Shinkansen, and the train set off staggeringly, he thought, after all, he still missed a certain platform again—this station has a right The unattainable name is called "Hey I want to tell you".

Tsukishima Hotaru still didn't send that text message.

Stars are dotted sporadically on the heavy night, and the full moon is orange-yellow.

"Happy birthday...and, I like you."

Facing his own shadow reflected on the glass window, Weng closed his lips and told the deepest secret in his heart.
