Song of Light and Shadow

From winter to spring, we have already entered the last year of junior high school.For the basketball club, this year is just one of countless "last years", but for Kise and others, this year is really the last year of junior high school, and there will be no more the second time.

"Eh?!!! It's Xiaoluma and Xiaoziyuan?!" Looking at the class list, Kise cried out in disappointment, "He also wants to be in the same class as Xiaoheizi~~"

"If you have an opinion, ask the teacher." Midorima pushed his glasses and walked into the class, while Kise could only look pitifully at Heizi who greeted Midorima at the door, almost biting a small handkerchief with a sad face .

However, Heizi just greeted him as usual and sat down to read a book.

This time, Heizi was watching "Snow Country".

In fact, there are excerpts in the textbook, but Heizi still likes the feeling of reading a book from beginning to end. It is best to have a beginning and an end.

Seeing that Hei Zi started to read, Huang Lai couldn't say anything, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, Hei Zi suddenly stood up as if remembering something, trotted in front of Huang Lai, and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Little Heizi?" Kise was a little surprised that Heizi would take the initiative to come to him, and was very, very happy, "What's the matter?"

"I would like to thank Kise-kun." Heizi looked at Kise-kun and smiled slightly, "Thank you Kise-kun for giving me my birthday present. I didn't expect Kise-kun to find that edition of Snow Country hardcover."

Kise knew that Heizi was talking about the hardcover book that he had spent half a year to find with the photocopy of Kawabata Yasunari's original manuscript.After the entire release, only that edition contained the original unmodified original manuscript, but within less than a week of its release, all books were removed from the shelves due to the objections of the original author.It is really difficult to find that edition of the book now.He basically used all kinds of means, and finally found it by accident in the Yijian old bookstore behind the hotel when he went to Hokkaido to shoot locations during the winter vacation.

"You're welcome, since it's a birthday present, of course I have to give Xiao Heizi what he wants." Kise smiled indifferently.

"It must be hard to find... because I have been looking for it for a long time..." Heizi looked at Kise apologetically.

"No, no!" Kise denied quickly, he didn't want Heizi to apologize to him because of this incident, "It didn't take much effort, I just saw it when I went to the bookstore by chance, and I remembered that Xiao Heizi said that if you want it, you can do it." Bought it. It didn't take much effort at all. Maybe I was lucky."

Heizi didn't say anything after listening to Kise's words, but only looked at Kise for a long time before calmly bowing to Kise and saying, "Thank you very much."

"So, it really didn't take much effort. Little Heizi doesn't need to be so solemn." Huang Lai was a little at a loss, it was the first time he was thanked by Heizi like this, but it made him feel a sense of alienation that he couldn't express clearly in words .

"What do you like, Kase-kun?" Heizi asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Huang Lai was taken aback for a moment, unable to react to Hei Zi's words.

"Because I don't know what Kise-kun likes, so it's not easy to prepare a gift from Kise-kun." Heizi said seriously.

"No, it's basically not my birthday. Besides, presents don't matter too much to me. Xiao Heizi doesn't need to return gifts." Apart from the birthday presents from fans, this is Kise's first Once I heard someone ask him what he likes so seriously and wanted to give him a gift.

If Xiao Heizi would really give it, it would probably be the first real birthday present he received...

"It doesn't matter if Kise-kun can't think of it now, please let me know if you think of it." Heizi said seriously.

Seeing that Heizi was so determined, Kise couldn't refuse anymore, so he just smiled and reached out to pat Heizi's head, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I have something I want, and then don't refuse it. "

In fact, what he wants most is Heizi.

"Definitely not." After Heizi finished speaking, the teacher had already arrived, so he separated from Kise and returned to their respective classrooms.

After school, they practiced as usual, even though they had won the championship for two consecutive times, and the five first-year students who almost started every game were regarded as the "generation of miracles" by various youth basketball magazines or other schools. As is well known to the basketball team, Diguang's management is still unrelenting.

Repeated training every day is indeed boring for a guy without much perseverance, but for Kise, such days are very happy, happier than the past 17 years combined.

Being able to play basketball with Heizi is the happiest thing.

"Tomorrow there will be a practice match, and the starting lineup will be Aomine, Midorima, Kise, Murasakihara, and Akashi." After the training, the coach looked at all the first team members in front of him with the information and said, "The rest of the players are in the middle of the game. Will be used as a substitute at any time, Heizi, you also warm up from the beginning, if there is any problem, you go straight to the game. Got it."

After Kuroko answered, the coach and Akashi walked out together, probably to discuss the details.

While packing his things, Qingfeng asked Heizi if he had time.Seeing this, Kise immediately hugged Heizi, smiled provocatively at Aomine and said, "Hey, little Heizi, would you like to see me take pictures, it's very interesting, this time it's the sports series."

However, Ziyuan also ran over to intervene, and finally turned into a farce of the three of them.And Aomine, taking advantage of Kise and Ziyuan's negligence, carried Heizi over and took him away without saying a word.

Looking at the back of Heizi leaving with Aomine, Kise still smiled and turned around silently.

After the shooting in the evening, I went to a Japanese-style house under the Kise family to eat something casually as usual.The name of the Huangse family's company in Japan is basically his. As compensation, the old man is generous enough.It seems that even if he doesn't do anything, he will be able to live a stable life for the rest of his life, but in fact he is more tiring than before. After all, he still needs to learn business and management knowledge, and these companies cannot be let down. In your own hands.

"Welcome, Master Huang Lai." Walking into the Fengya Japanese house, the store manager, Ms. Wei Zi, saluted Huang Lai respectfully and led him into the bar.Although Kise could ask for a room directly, he didn't do so.Fengya's business is very good, rather than occupying a room by itself, it is better to let it to the guests.In this way, the mother's medical expenses may be more.

"Excuse me, what would you like to drink, Master?" Miss Weizi walked into the bar herself and picked up the shaker.

"Sunlight." Without thinking for a long time, Kise directly reported the name of the cocktail.Although in this country, alcohol is not allowed under the age of 20, but for him, drinking is already a part of life.And if you drink your own wine, no one will make irresponsible remarks.

Miss Weizi quickly mixed a glass of cocktail with a beautiful golden color, brought it to Kise, then ordered the servants to serve some snacks, and then retreated.

Kise sat quietly in the corner of the bar drinking a cocktail, but his mind was full of thoughts about where Aomine took Heizi to in the afternoon.In fact, he was very afraid that Qingfeng would confess to Heizi, because he could see that Heizi liked Qingfeng, although Heizi probably didn't realize it...

In fact, the entire basketball club pretty much knows Aomine's attitude towards Heizi. Although it seems that Heizi and Aomine don't get along very well in many things other than basketball, it makes others look like they are flirting. It's really interesting. Enormous enough.

Looking at the ice cubes floating in the wine glass, Kise suddenly looked like this wine for some reason.At the beginning, he appointed Weizi as the manager of this store because Weizi, who was still a bartender, made this glass of 'sunlight' after seeing him for the first time. It has a warm color and name, but it is actually It was so cold that it made people frown.

After drinking the wine in the glass in one breath, Kise left the bar and walked to the door, and was escorted by Wei Zi, leaving Fengya and returning to the empty home.He took a shower indiscriminately, finished his homework casually, read management books for a while, and went to bed early.How can I say that there is still a practice match tomorrow, the most important thing is to preserve your energy.

However, the next day, when he watched Heizi being tricked by his opponent but he was powerless, Kise thought of committing suicide for the first time.If he could run faster and help defend, Heizi wouldn't be injured...

It's all because he's too weak...

Facing Fujiwara's dissatisfaction, Kise felt that there was nothing wrong with Aomine.With Qingfeng's ability, this is even better.Moreover, one person's breakthrough and basket can greatly damage the opponent's self-esteem. When they are unable to defend, they can only feel the gap in strength and give up resistance.Enemies who give up their resistance will not make any small moves.

Kise clenched his fist beside him, as expected strength is necessary, only with absolute strength can he protect the person who wants to protect.

After the game, Kise greeted his teammates with a normal feeling and immediately left the field.This scene basically crushed the situation after Heizi went to the hospital, and this scene also made Kise fully aware of the gap between himself and Aomine.

Sure enough, the length of time in contact with basketball is still a fatal injury.There is only one way to get back the lost time,

Increase the amount of training.

"Hey, Miss Shion? Ah, I have something to ask. I want to reduce the workload. If it is not possible, then I will pay the liquidated damages. Please terminate the contract. Haha, I know Shion Miss will be reasonable. Why? Because there are important things to do. Well, it is more important than work. Then, please, please do not work more than twenty hours a week. Goodbye." When Shiyin replied, Kise hung up the phone.

Going straight back to school, I almost couldn't wait to pick up the ball and start training.He had to work harder and try to surpass those who stood in front of him. Only in this way would he be qualified to stand in front of Heizi.

But just a few months later, the unforeseen happened.

The first match of the final year of the junior high school had long since ended, and Kise also returned home, but looking at Heizi who was sitting beside him in a daze, Kise didn't know what to say.The place where Aomine hit still hurts a bit, although Heizi gave the medicine himself, seeing how sad Heizi is now, Kise couldn't feel better no matter what.

"Kise Kise..." After a long time, just when Kise felt that he would go crazy if he went on like this, Heizi finally spoke.

Looking at Baocari in front of him, Heizi's eyes were empty and unfocused, and he asked softly, "... Am I really not suitable for playing basketball?"

"There is absolutely no such thing!" Kise immediately looked at Heizi with extremely serious eyes and said, "Just like what Xiao Heizi told me before, Xiao Heizi's position is slightly different from ours, but he is absolutely indispensable At least I can't imagine now, if there is no pass from Xiao Heizi, can I still play so easily."

"But, Qingfeng-kun said that I don't need me anymore..." Heizi's ethereal voice made people feel distressed.

"That must not be the truth! You also know that Xiaoqingfeng has never been able to speak his mind. Now he must be thinking about how to apologize to Xiaoheizi." Huang Lai deliberately said it lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere, However, Heizi just lowered his eyes slowly and didn't say anything.

Almost subconsciously, he stretched out his hand and pulled Heizi into his arms, put his face on the top of Heizi's head, closed his eyes, and gently stroked Heizi's soft hair, Kise said softly and firmly: "If Aomine doesn't need You, and I need you. Even if the whole world doesn't need you, I will never leave you alone."

Heizi leaned against Kise's arms and remained silent for a long, long time, then slowly raised his hand, wrapped his arms around Kise's back, and lowered his head.Kise felt his chest was already wet.

"Thank you, Kise-kun... really... thank you..." Heizi whispered, his fingers clenched Kise-kun's clothes, "It's great to know Kise-kun... Kise-kun It's so nice to be here...thank you...thank you so much..."

"...You're welcome." Huang Lai curled his mouth slightly, and even felt a little lucky in his heart. Maybe it's contemptible to take advantage of the situation, but he still didn't want to give up just like this. Now that the chance finally has such a small amount, He wanted to grab the slender rope and pull the light tied at the other end into his arms.

Perhaps in basketball, Heizi is a shadow, but in his heart, Heizi is light, the only light...
