The budget hotel they stayed in was located on the hillside, not too close to the tourist area, surrounded by lush forests, except for the sound of tourists playing and joking, you could hear the cries of frogs and unknown insects at night.

Maybe it was because I ate too much dinner, even though my body was exhausted, I couldn't fall asleep anyway.The list of sleep songs on the phone has been cycled, but Haizaki gets more and more irritable the more he listens, he simply gets up from the bed, and before he opens the door, he is stopped by the green room where he lives, "It's already nine in the evening It's o'clock, where are you going? You have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning for morning exercises."

The people who live together during the dorm are determined by lottery. Haizaki glanced at Midorima who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for tomorrow's lucky item, feeling helpless, "Just go out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while."

"Don't cause trouble." Midorima finally pulled out a tin frog toy the size of a palm from his exaggerated black suitcase, and after twisting the clockwork twice, the tin frog jumped up and down on the ground.

"What can I cause in the middle of the night?" Haizaki glanced at the tin frog jumping on the ground, "You really belong to me, this kind of thing should be the childhood toys of those uncles, where did you find it? In a way, it’s pretty awesome.”

Midorima pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a serious expression on his face, "This is not a toy, it's tomorrow's lucky item, Toganosuke."

Haizaki was a little unbelievable, "You even named your lucky thing?!" He glanced at the toy dolls of different shapes stuffed into the suitcase, and a pile of suspected lucky things piled up at the foot of the bed "These, all of them are your lucky items? It's just a one-week stay together. Why do you act like you've moved your whole family here?"

"So what. If you don't do your best, what will happen to this week's lucky items?" Midorima pursed her lips and put away the other lucky items and stuffed them into the suitcase again, "Forget it, it's okay to explain to you No, you don’t know how to say it anyway.”

Seeing that Midorima was a little angry, Haizaki couldn't say anything more, he stretched out his hand and touched his nose in embarrassment, and just opened the door, but met the red-haired boy who was raising his hand to knock on the door, "Akashi ?”

"Ah, good evening. Are you ready to go out now?"

Haizaki was still twisting the doorknob, because of the height difference, he could see the slender collarbone that could not be concealed by the wide neckline of the other party, because of the height difference, he turned his head slightly in a panic, and answered vaguely, " You came to look for Midori, he's inside. I'll go first."

As soon as Midorima put the suitcase away, he saw the back of Huizaki walking out in a panic. He looked at the red-haired boy who had already walked into the room with some puzzlement, "What's wrong with him? He seems to be avoiding you."

"Huh? Avoid me?" Akashi's lips curled up slightly, "It does look like that."

Midorima frowned, "Akashi, did Haizaki cause some trouble, and you took care of it?"

"That's not the case. Haizaki hasn't caused any trouble recently, but he worked very hard during basketball practice." Akashi pursed his lips and chuckled, and said as if he remembered something, "Tomorrow's lucky thing, think about what to do Is it?"

"It's ready." Midorima showed the green tin frog to Akashi.It can be seen that this frog has been used for a long time as a toy. There is a small amount of dark green paint peeling off on the edge, and rust marks can be seen on the exposed metal part. The black eyeballs on the frog's head are not damaged. It looks very realistic. .

This is the first time Akashi has seen such a simple and ancient toy, and he felt a little novel, "Midorima, did you play with this when you were young?"

"Of course not." Midorima shook his head, and stuffed the tin frog into Akashi's hand, "Turn the clockwork twice and try. Although it is a toy that Dad used to have, it can still move now."

Akashi wound up the clockwork according to his words, and the tin frog immediately jumped up and down on the ground clumsily and mechanically as if it had been infused with life.Seeing that Akashi softened his brows and eyes, Midorima also smiled, "When I was young, I often played with electric trains, remote control planes and other things, how about you?"

"If I have to say it," Akashi thought for a moment before saying, "The toy I played with the most when I was young was chess."

"chess?"

"Yes. Shogi, Go, chess, I often play these."

Thinking of Akashi's glorious and noble background, Midorima can think of his boring childhood filled with various elite tutorials.Born in a famous family, gentle and honest, both civil and military, perfect, under the accumulation of countless praises and halos, Akashi Seijuro seems a bit vague.

He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, after the part-time job was over, everyone went to the convenience store to buy popsicles together. They were all clamoring for Kise, who was working as a model and already had income, to treat him, and Akashi was just standing a few steps away from them. Holding the notebook and lowering his head, he recorded the data.As soon as he walked to Akashi, Aomine spoke before he could ask, "Don't ask Akashi, he is so busy, how could he have time to eat popsicles with us."

"Yeah, I still have student council matters to deal with later, so I won't go." At that time, Akashi just nodded, his smile was no different from usual, but Midorima still saw it from those red eyes. Fleeting gloom.

After eating the ice cream flavored with rice cakes and bean soup, he turned back towards the school, but at the corner of the intersection, he saw Akashi standing in front of the claw machine and putting coins, and standing beside him, who was clearly a head taller than him , but cautiously revealing a gentle look at Huizaki who secretly looked at him.

Before he had time to be surprised, he was pulled aside by the sudden appearance of senior Hongcun who was the captain, "Your expression is full of surprise."

Lu Jian was stunned for a long time before saying, "If you're not surprised, it's not normal."

"Well, that's exactly what you said. Haizaki has been a delinquent for so long, but his eyes are excellent." Hong Cun smiled, and tapped his index finger to his lips, "I met you here today. Let’s treat it as a secret between us.”

Midorima looked over again after Hongcun walked away, and Akashi had already stuffed the red chicken doll he caught into Haizaki's hands, the smile on his face was faint but real, somewhat like what a 14-year-old should have .

Although he doesn't want to admit it from the bottom of his heart, that gray-haired guy seems to be able to make Akashi laugh from the bottom of his heart.

"What are you thinking about? So preoccupied?"

"It's nothing." Midorima lowered his head and tightened the clockwork of the iron frog that had not moved. After seeing the frog moved again, he turned his eyes to Akashi's face, "Akashi, we are friends."

Akashi nodded slightly, "Of course."

Midorima laughed slowly, "For shogi, I can accompany you anytime."

Akashi also laughed, "By the way, I came today to tell you that Aomine and Kise are outside to catch tomorrow's lucky thing for you."

When he spoke, a smile overflowed from the corners of his eyes and brows, and he looked extraordinarily beautiful under the dim light. With red hair and snow skin, he was as beautiful as a carefully drawn oil painting.

Midorima thought, maybe he understood the reason why Haizaki ran away hastily when he saw Akashi just now.

The author has something to say:

In the case of Midorima and Akashi, the two are pure friends, don’t think about it O(∩_∩)O haha~
