Song of Light and Shadow

Without Hongcun's support, and Huizaki was unable to use his hands and feet because of being taught a lesson, and made mistakes one after another, the already exhausted team began to decline. Aomine missed more and more shots. Kama had already given up the three-pointer and turned to the inside two-pointer. Although Murasakihara also tried to intercept the opponent, he couldn't jump to the original height. He could only watch the ball fly over his head. Needless to say, Haizaki, Even Akashi's pass can be missed.Akashi, who was the only one in better condition, was also powerless. Although he was careful to prevent the ball from being robbed, he couldn't stop the three-man defense from stealing the ball.

In the first half, Diguang played extremely passively. It wasn't until halftime that Diguang managed to overtake the opponent by one point.

"Is that the only level you have? Be serious to me. You all know the consequences of losing the game." Looking at the five people who were already out of breath, the coach didn't seem to care about their fatigue at all, and said Harsh words were spoken.

Akashi closed his eyes, gasping for breath, trying to catch his breath.The Diguang Basketball Club, with the slogan of winning every game, has almost never lost a few games since its establishment, and has always maintained its status as the dominant basketball player in the junior middle school circle. .

With such glory, the Teiko Basketball Club does not allow failure.It's just that they were a little better in the first grade and were selected into the first team. In fact, they are in danger of being replaced at any time. If they lose this time, they will only face relegation.It is not impossible for them to be promoted again, but if Heizi does not play a role in this game, then don't think about it, it must be the result of being persuaded to quit.

"Haisaki and Kuroko exchanged in the second half, I will not give you any guidance, Akashi, you are the executive captain on the field, and you will be fully responsible." The coach issued instructions.

"Yes." Akashi glanced at Kuroko.

Heizi hasn't come to him until now, it seems that he hasn't figured it out yet...

The reminder bell rang, and the second half of the game was about to start.The few people who had already warmed up returned to the arena, but the atmosphere was obviously not as high as the first match. On the contrary, the opponents seemed to have been beaten one by one, wishing to destroy them immediately.

Akashi knew in his heart that defeating Teiguang was equivalent to standing at the top of the entire junior high school basketball world. No matter what the method was, as long as he won, it was an undeniable fact.No one will care that they are all first graders, no one will care that they have played two games in a row, no one will care how much running-in practice they have had between them.

Results are everything.

"Mr. Heizi, it's a good thing to be motivated, but if it's still like the first game, it won't work."

"……Eh?"

"Your current teammates are not the three armies, but us, the first army. Compared with the second and third armies, the first army is faster and has a better sense of the ball, so you need to cooperate with us to adjust the speed and accuracy of passing." Akashi walks When he arrived in front of Heizi, he looked at Heizi who was slightly shorter than himself, and said in a gentle tone: "Besides, what kind of existence do you think should be strong?"

"Uh, lively and cheerful people or something?"

"It's not bad." Akashi nodded, "There are many factors that attract people's attention, some of which are because they express emotions on their faces and don't care about the eyes of people around them, and some of them may be because it is difficult to express clearly in one sentence. .For others, it is not much different from fake actions, but for you, it has a different meaning, because your own sense of existence is weak. If you decide to use this method as your way to survive on this basketball court With a weapon, you have to suppress the display of emotion to a certain extent, as you have always done."

Seeing Kuroko's process from doubt to surprise to expressionless, Akashi raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand, and pressed his index finger against Heizi's heart, "I want to completely erase the feeling here, and exist as a complete shadow. "

Heizi didn't speak, just took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

In an instant, Akashi felt that Kuroko seemed to have disappeared, and when he came back to his senses, Kuroko had already walked behind him.

Clenching his fists, Akashi suppressed the trembling and excitement running up his spine.

He knew that he would never be wrong, Heizi had possibilities that he couldn't do.

The subsequent practice match ended in a very relaxed state. For Diguang, who has Heizi joining, even if he is only a first-year student, he can do his best.

Back home, Akashi frowned when he heard Tanaka say that his father was back, but he didn't show any extra emotion. After handing over the clothes to Tanaka, he walked towards the restaurant.

"Are you still continuing the basketball club?"

"Yes."

At the dinner table, the simple conversation was not at all like that between father and son.

"When are you going to end this boring game?"

"I have no intention of giving up."

"Basketball doesn't mean anything to the Akashi family. You should understand."

Feeling his father's sharp eyes on him, Akashi said without changing his face: "The original agreement was to become the captain in the second grade and lead the basketball team to win the national championship for two consecutive years. Now there are still two days before the agreed time limit. Year."

"It's up to you, just stop this kind of game in moderation. Focus on your studies and career. Some time ago, Shimizu's family invited you to be a guest. How do you feel?"

"generally."

It's not lack of etiquette, nor is it dissatisfaction with the Qingshui family, the feeling that the father asked refers to whether there is any value that can be used.

"Is it normal..."

Seeing the way his father started to think, Akashi felt a little ridiculous. This kind of thing had to be analyzed by him, who was only a junior high school student. No one in the Presbyterian Church was blind.

"Yesterday, the owner of the Qingshui family sent me an email, asking when the engagement ceremony between you and Miss Qingshui's family can be held."

Hearing his father's tone, Akashi's heart suddenly relaxed. The Shimizu family is on the verge of death. Originally, he was still worried about how to reject the marriage of the Shimizu family. It seems that because of business disruption, they want to have relatives with the powerful Akashi family, and ask the Akashi family as the man to help clean up some stubborn dirt of the Shimizu consortium.

Although it is not a complicated matter, being able to annex the Shimizu Foundation is more beneficial than harmful to the Akashi Foundation, but the father who has always disliked being used will definitely reject this request.

Thinking about it, the corners of Akashi's mouth could not help but rise up.

Sure enough, within two days, Shimizu Tsubasa came to the basketball club in a panic.

"Coach, I'm sorry, can I ask for leave today?" Akashi simply put forward the application, not wanting to drink clear water and discuss private matters in this kind of place.

"Hmm..." The coach flipped through the schedule, "The friendly match at 4 o'clock will let Qingfeng go with Heizi for you."

Akashi immediately took back the steps he was about to take, looked at the coach, and asked calmly, "Is there a friendly match today?"

"Yeah, didn't Hong Village notify you?"

Akashi was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head, and said in his usual gentle tone: "No, the captain said it, I was negligent. I will be back before 4 o'clock, please don't make other arrangements."

"Well, when you arrive at 3:40, if you don't come back, you can only change." The coach didn't think too much, just said very normally.

"Yes." After Akashi replied, he signaled Shimizu Tsubasa, who had been waiting impatiently, to leave together.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the basketball hall, Shimizu dragged Akashi all the way to the woods of the old campus, and before Akashi could catch his breath, he covered his head and face and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Akashi pretended not to know.

"Why did you want to break off the engagement? Do you know that she cried at home all day!" Shimizu Wing's pale face looked like he hadn't slept well all night.

"Disengagement? I'm sorry, I don't know about it. If it's my father's decision, then I can only follow it." Akashi said lightly.

"You don't feel it at all? She loves you so much! Now go back and tell uncle that you want to marry Yu!" Shimizu Tsubasa grabbed Akashi's shoulder and shook him vigorously.

Annoyed by Shimizu Tsubasa's actions, Akashi tried to appease Shimizu Tsubasa's emotions while persuading himself not to be too excited, and let him stabilize, but it seemed that there was no better way than he immediately agreed to marry Shimizu Tsubasa. Let Shimizu Wing calm down.

"Mr. Qingshui, this is my father's decision, and there is no way for me to change it."

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Shimizu Wing shook his head.

Just when Akashi was thinking about how to better make Shimizu Tsubasa give up, an unexpectedly familiar voice came from the front.

"Akashi-kun, so you are here."

Akashi suddenly raised his head, his surprised pupils reflected the face of Kuroko who was calm and unaware of what had happened.

"Kuroko! Why are you here!" Akashi blurted out before realizing that his voice was trembling.

"A girl said she came to look for you, and the coach said you came out, so I brought her to look for you."

"How did you find me!" Akashi was sure that no witnesses along the way saw him walking here.

"Uh... intuition? Right..."

"Zhengjun!!" Before Heizi finished speaking, a slightly shrill female voice squeezed in from the side.

"Shimizu Yu?!"

"Little Feather!"

Akashi watched Shimizu Wing rush towards him, although subconsciously wanted to dodge, but reason told him that at least at this moment, he couldn't dodge, Shimizu Wing was still on the side.

"Zhengjun, I don't want to cancel the marriage. Zhengjun, you love me, right? Didn't you agree that I will marry you? Zhengjun, tell my uncle that I will be obedient and do housework, and I will definitely not If you're embarrassing the Akashi family, don't call off the marriage, okay?"

Seeing Shimizu Yu crying and shouting without the appearance of a young lady at all, Akashi felt a dull pain in his temple.

Heizi just looked at himself, watching such a boring but realistic scene.

What would Heizi think of him?

Do you think he is embarrassed?Very poor?

He really wanted to kick the two people around him away, but he didn't want Heizi to feel that he was a cold-blooded person.

"Miss Shimizu, my father has already made a decision on this matter, I'm sorry, I can't do anything." Akashi opened the distance between Shimizu Yu and Shimizu Yu without any trace, and glanced at Kuroko at the same time.

Kuroko's expression was still indifferent, but Akashi knew that Kuroko didn't care about what was going on at all, and he didn't exist in those eyes.

"No, it's not true. Zhengjun, hey, you love me, right? Tell me, you love me! You will find a way!" Qing Shuiyu was already a little crazy.

After Akashi sighed, his expression suddenly became indifferent, looking at Shimizu Yu's astonished expression, he said softly: "I have never loved you, in any sense."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the feelings of the Qingshui brothers and sisters at all, and walked directly to Heizi's side, indicating that he could leave.

When he left the old school building and was about to walk to the basketball court, Heizi suddenly spoke.

"Akashi-kun, did you really never like that girl?"

"What's wrong?" Akashi was surprised that Kuroko would ask such a question.

"I'm just curious, I like it, what kind of mood is it..." Heizi's voice was very soft, but it was like a heavy drumstick, hammering hard on Akashi's heart.

The target of Heizi's words is not him...

not him...

not him……

It's him……

he……

"Do you want to know what kind of mood it is?"

Akashi thought he must be crazy.

"Akashi-kun?"

"Let me tell you what it's like."

He stopped, grabbed Heizi's wrist with one hand and pulled Heizi into his arms, and pinched Heizi's chin with the other hand, forcing Heizi to raise his head.

Akashi fiercely kissed Kuroko's slightly parted lips.
