Song of Light and Shadow

"Little Chi, how is the guy you've been looking at recently?" Ziyuan asked casually while sitting on a bench beside him, tying his shoelaces.

"Oh? It's rare to see you interested in someone." Akashi took a deep breath, went to Murasakihara and picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat. "It's been almost three months. That guy should come to me soon."

"Oh..." Murasakihara narrowed his eyes, touched a delicious stick, but put it back after hesitating for a while, after all, Akashi is next to him, if he eats during practice, he will inevitably be lectured again Fan said, "But that guy doesn't look like he can come in handy. He obviously likes basketball and practices so hard, but the guy who can't do it at all really looks ridiculous."

"But such a guy sometimes brings many unexpected surprises." Akashi smiled indifferently, put down the towel, took a sip of water, and turned around to continue practicing.

Murasakihara didn't say anything, but he still couldn't agree with Akashi's opinion.It's useless for people without talent to say anything. How could such a short, skinny guy be able to play basketball? It should be said that it is impossible for all sports to work.

Natural talent is obviously more important than hard work.

"that……"

That kind of weak guy should have given up.

"That, Murasakihara-kun."

It's a mistake for a weak guy to play basketball.

"Master Ziyuan, please excuse me."

By the way, why do I feel that he is calling me?Murasakihara frowned, feeling that he was hallucinating.

"Murashihara-kun, are Akashi-kun here?"

"Xiao Chi is practicing over there." Subconsciously replied, Ziyuan realized that someone was really talking to him, and moved his eyes to the direction of the voice.What came into his eyes was a short boy with aqua blue soft short hair, the 'that guy' he said just now, Kuroko Tetsuya.

"Could you call Akashi-kun for me? People from the third team can't just interrupt the training of the first team." Heizi said blankly while looking at Murasakihara who was sitting on the chair.

"Oh, yes." In fact, I was a little surprised by the appearance of Heizi, but to Ziyuan, it doesn't matter what. It's just an eyesore.

"Xiao Chi." Although there were a lot of things in his mind, Murasakihara still yelled at Akashi who was practicing shooting there, "That soldier from the three armies came to you."

"Okay." Hearing Murasakihara's cry, Akashi stopped practicing, held the ball in his hand, turned around to look at Kuroko standing at the door, and nodded to him.

After getting permission, Heizi walked into the training ground of the First Army.

"Find a way?"

"Yes. So I would like to ask Akashi-kun for a favor. Apply for a practice match and use the match as a test."

"Okay." Akashi basically agreed to Kuroko's request without even pausing.Sitting beside him, Ziyuan slightly raised his eyebrows, looked Heizi up and down, and said nothing.

Anyway, basketball is dispensable to him, and it has nothing to do with whoever joins.

The next day, the team really played a three-army vs. two-army match for Heizi. Of course, the coach did not explain that this was a test specially prepared for Heizi alone. Special treatment is always bad, and everyone knows it well bright.

Ziyuan stood leaning against the wall and yawned as he watched Heizi pass the ball in the arena.Is this the new power that Akashi was talking about?It doesn't look too great.

In the end, as Akashi expected, Kuroko's strength was confirmed, and the coach didn't say anything, and agreed with Kuroko to directly enter the first army.

"I really didn't expect that Kuroko would be able to persist." Midorima pushed his glasses and looked at Kuroko who was practicing passing.

"Hey...is it difficult?" Ziyuan is not interested at all, but he is more concerned about the delicious new flavors released today.

"Mr. Ziyuan." However, at this moment, Heizi seemed to have thought of something, and holding the ball, he called to Ziyuan, "Can I bother you?"

"Oh, yes, what's the matter?"

"I would like to ask Ziyuan-kun to practice with me." Heizi said and raised his head, looking at Ziyuan who was much taller than himself.

"Hey..." Ziyuan didn't agree immediately, because it was very troublesome. If he had to train with Heizi, he would have to stay until very late, and the club activities would be over soon, so he didn't want to stay for an extra minute.

"I still don't know how to guide the gaze of a person of Ziyuan-kun's stature, so I thought..."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Zi Yuan calmly refused.

"Eh?"

"It's time. It's time to go home." Ziyuan pointed to the clock hanging on the wall of the training ground, turned around and walked towards the locker room with a towel and water bottle, "Ah, I have to go to a supermarket before then..."

As a matter of course, Heizi didn't say anything else, Ziyuan went back to the locker room, took the towel and clothes, rinsed them in the shower room, and left the school refreshed.

Coming out of the supermarket with a bunch of snacks in his arms, Ziyuan was just about to walk home, but found that the key was not with him.

Probably dropped it in the locker room while changing clothes.Ziyuan scratched her hair with a lollipop in her mouth, sighed, and went back to school sullenly.

"Ah...the door should be locked by this time." However, when he reached the school gate, Ziyuan remembered that it was almost eight o'clock, and the good kids had to wash up and get ready for bed. How could the basketball court be open.

But when he saw the light coming from the glass window above the basketball court, Ziyuan was a little happy about his luck.

Pushing open the door, I thought it was just the Second Army cleaning up, but found that there was only one person in the entire basketball court.

"Xiao Hei is still practicing."

Although Ziyuan disagreed with Heizi's drive, he had to admire it.

"Well, I'm still a little unskilled. If the opponent blocks the teammate's line of sight while running, I still can't grasp how to pass it directly and accurately." Heizi panted slightly while holding the ball.

Ziyuan stared at Heizi for a long time, frowned, and asked rather puzzled: "Why is Xiao Hei working so hard? He has entered the first army, hasn't he?"

Heizi's expression didn't change much, but from the sudden raised head and the eyes looking at Murasakihara, it can be seen that he was puzzled by what Murasakihara said, "Because I don't want to hold everyone back."

"Well... that's right, Xiao Hei is too weak, he can't even make a shot despite working so hard." Zi Yuan nodded clearly.

"Ziyuan-kun...a bit hurtful." The corners of Heizi's eyes twitched, and his tone became obviously dull.

"Well, you should practice hard." Zi Yuan waved his hands as he said, and walked to the locker room.

Pushing open the locker room door, there was a sound at the foot, Zi Yuan looked down, it was his key.

"It fell here..." Zi Yuan bent down to pick up the key, but his head hit the table with a bang, "It hurts... um... it hurts like hell."

Ziyuan straightened up like a child, kicked the table unhappily, and muttered with a pout.

"Mr. Ziyuan, it is bad behavior to vent your anger on the table." Just as Ziyuan was about to take the second step of the question, Heizi's voice came from behind him.

"It hit me and hurt me." Zi Yuan pointed at the table standing there with aggrieved face, the corners of her eyes were red.

Heizi sighed, and beckoned to Ziyuan. Ziyuan didn't know what Heizi wanted to do but walked over anyway.Heizi motioned Ziyuan to bend down, and Ziyuan thought that Heizi had something to say, so he did as he did.

Heizi stretched out his hand, rubbed the place where Ziyuan hit the table, then leaned up, took a deep breath, and said in a still calm voice as if reading a book: "The pain is flying away!" .”

Perhaps it was an illusion, Ziyuan only felt that the air seemed to suddenly become sweeter, a bit like the scent of a freshly baked honey cake, but with a little mint fragrance.

"Does Xiaohei use mint-flavored washing powder?" He asked nonsensically, and Ziyuan didn't know why he asked such a question.

"Can I ask? He obviously just exercised." Heizi was a little surprised.

"Even if Xiao Hei is sweating, he doesn't have a strong smell of sweat." Ziyuan leaned up and sniffed, "Well, it smells like mint."

"Ziyuan-kun, he is an interesting person." Heizi said, retracting the hand on Ziyuan's head, and walked to his locker to get his clothes to wash.

Ziyuan watched Heizi walk past her to the bathroom, but instead of leaving immediately, she sat down and began to eat snacks.Heizi came out of the bathroom wiping his hair when he was about to bottom out.

"Hasn't Ziyuan-kun left yet?" Heizi was a little surprised to see Ziyuan chewing a delicious stick that looked a little strange in color.

"Yeah, I'll wait for you." Ziyuan licked her fingers.

"Huh?" Heizi froze for a moment.

"Let's go back together, it's boring to go alone." Zi Yuan said as a matter of course.

Heizi didn't say anything else, just changed his clothes and went out with Ziyuan.

Night Breeze was very refreshing. Although it was almost autumn, he didn't feel the chill at all.

With a lollipop in his mouth, Ziyuan glanced at Heizi walking on his left from time to time, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.I happened to find an unopened lollipop in my pocket, took it out, and handed it to Hei, "Here, here you are."

Heizi took the lollipop, thanked him, removed the wrapper, and swallowed it too.

"By the way, why does Xiao Hei play basketball? It's obviously not suitable for him at all." Zi Yuan just didn't like such a deserted atmosphere, so he asked.

"I've liked it since I was very young." Heizi didn't pay much attention to Ziyuan's venomous tongue, and he has almost gotten used to Ziyuan's speaking style these days, but he didn't have any malicious intentions, "Because I saw basketball playing on TV and thought it was very powerful. That’s why I became interested. Later, I met a friend, played happily together, and agreed to meet on the court. So I still don’t want to give up on basketball.”

"Oh..." Ziyuan looked at the sky with a few clouds passing by, and said lazily, "Xiao Hei likes basketball very much."

"Well, I like it very much." For the first time, Heizi's voice reached Murasakihara's ears so firmly.

"Let's not talk about this, it's quite boring. Does Xiao Hei like delicious sticks?"

"it's OK."

"Does Xiao Hei like potato chips? I like the original ones."

"it's OK."

"Does Xiao Hei like to eat seaweed?"

"Fortunately."

"What's Xiao Hei's favorite food?"

"Vanilla milkshake."

"Hmm... What Xiao Hei likes is really strange."

"Is it?"

"Well, it's weird."

The two of them chatted one after another all the way, and returned to their respective homes.
