Song of Light and Shadow

"I don't want to see him." Heizi said softly after a moment of silence, "I never thought about forgiving you. After all, if it wasn't for Akashi-kun, I wouldn't have been involved in such an incident. Bar."

Akashi hummed, the expression on his face didn't change much, but his slightly clenched fist still trembled uncontrollably.

Yeah, what the hell is he expecting.

"Leave the disposal of Shimizu to me." Akashi tried to speak calmly, "I will tell you the result."

"I don't really want to know." Heizi raised his head, looked at the somewhat whitish sun, and narrowed his eyes, "Akashi-kun, do you believe in fate?"

"Eh?"

Akashi didn't quite understand why Kuroko suddenly started to say this, and Kuroma was not the kind of person who believed in divination and other metaphysics.

"I believe it now." Heizi raised his hand and built a small platform between his eyebrows, and the sunlight leaked down the gap between his fingertips, which made people feel a little dazed, "Just like Akashi-kun said before, if Without Akashi-kun’s help, I probably wouldn’t be able to stand on the court long ago. Now I might not know where to spend my high school career in a daze, and feel confused about my future like everyone else. Even if I stand now By the side of Vulcan-kun, the skills I can show are all based on what Akashi-kun taught me back then. So, in fact, at that time, maybe for the sake of self-paralysis, even if I encountered such a thing, I still couldn’t Hate for Akashi-kun. Maybe this is what God wants me to experience when I meet you..."

Akashi's expression towards Kuroko finally changed, but he couldn't tell whether it was surprise or puzzlement, but in the end he showed rare joy.

"But I will not forgive you."

"Well, it doesn't matter."

"So, let's get to know each other again."

"Ah."

Akashiqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up, walked in front of Heizi, knelt down on one knee, and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, my name is Seijuro Akashi, and I am the captain of the Luoshan basketball club now, can I make friends?"

Kuroko withdrew his hand, looked at Akashi, the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

"Hello, Akashi-kun, my name is Kuroko Tetsuya, and I am currently a member of the Seirin High School Basketball Club. Nice to meet you."

"Can we play basketball together in the future?"

"Well, I'm looking forward to it."

------------------------------

As one of the five major shrines in Tokyo, Meiji Jingu Shrine does not have many visitors on weekdays, and it is also very quiet. However, on New Year's Eve, there are no unexpected crowds.

Seeing the largest wooden torii gate in Japan at the entrance, Kuroko couldn't help feeling a little in awe.

Following the crowd who came to worship, they walked forward, took off their shoes and socks and walked along the path paved with stones. The soles of their feet were a little cold, but they were also itchy.

"There are a lot of people over there at Daishou Mizuya, so be careful." Akashi followed Kuroko's side to remind him.

Although he proposed early in the morning to go to the dedicated shrine for worship, but was rejected by Heizi, and he could only squeeze the public shrine with Heizi.

Heizi walked down the gravel path, put on his shoes, and came to Teshui House. Kise, who had arrived before him, handed the ladle filled with water into his hand.

Heizi thanked him and took the ladle, poured the water into the palm of his left hand, held it to his mouth and took a sip.Icy, a little sweet.

After rinsing your mouth and washing your hands, you head to the shrine.

After the six people visited together, they all turned to the lottery place.

"Oh?!! No way!! It's fierce!" Kise nearly cried after opening his own lottery.

"Let's resign ourselves to fate." Luma pushed his eyes, folded his Xiaoji and put it in his pocket.

"I'm going to pray, little Heizi, what are you?" Huang Lai moved closer to Heizi and took a look.

Heizi looked at the lottery written in his hand, and didn't know what expression to use to face it.Although I don't particularly believe in gods and Buddhas, I feel a little uncomfortable after drawing such an unlucky lottery on such a festival.

"You got it wrong, it's yours."

Just before Huang Lai opened his mouth, a hand stretched out in front of Heizi and took away the lottery paper in his hand, and then stuffed another paper that said good luck into his hand.

"Wow, Qing Zai has become so considerate." Zi Yuan, who was holding a Ji, said teasingly.

"What are you talking about?" Qingfeng glared at Ziyuan impatiently, blushing a little.

"Oh yo, Xiao Qingfeng really knows how to seize the opportunity, it's amazing." Kise put a hand on Qingfeng's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go to the sacred tree and tie it together to pray~"

Just as Heizi was about to say something, Kise had already dragged Qingfeng away.

Akashi didn't know where he went, and he disappeared after the visit.

Zi Principle said casually, "Chizai has a little friendship with the priest here, so go to greet him" and ran to buy an ema.

In the end, it became Kuroko and Midorima who stayed in place.

The air suddenly quieted down.

Although the surroundings were still noisy, there was a tacit calm between the two people who were not good at speaking.

In the end, it was Lv Jianxian who spoke.

"Congratulations on winning the championship."

"Thank you."

"I didn't expect you to really do it...Maybe it's really like what you said, things like basketball don't depend on one person doing their best to win."

"Well... But personal strength is indeed very important. Several times I thought we were doomed. If there is no Vulcan-lord, with my ability, it is..."

"Heizi, you are very strong."

Midorima suddenly interrupted Heizi's words, "I used to think that your role was just a link, a link that allows the ball to reach our hands smoothly, and anyone can do it. But I was wrong. Heizi, you are very powerful. in a sense."

Heizi looked at Luma, and didn't know what to say for a while. Luma's praise of him so seriously really made him a little uncomfortable.

"Maybe among the five of us, my chance is the smallest." Lu Zhi continued, "So maybe only I can look at you calmly, observe you, understand you, and then think about how I feel about you."

Midorima paused, then turned to look at Heizi.

Heizi was a little nervous, he didn't know whether he should interrupt Luma's next words, but while he was hesitating, Luma had already spoken.

"I think, I like you more than friends."

Heizi fell silent, the surroundings were still so noisy, and there was also such a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Midorima was waiting, even though he already knew the result.

"Thank you for liking me, and I also like Mr. Midori."

"only friends?"

"Ah."

"Really..." Midorima pushed his glasses, "Sure enough, today's morning divination is correct, today is not suitable for confession. But I understand your thinking, since you can still be friends, at least it won't be Friends are below."

Heizi thought for a while, and there seemed to be nothing wrong, but what Midorima said made him a little uncomfortable.

It's not like the Green Room.

"Little Heizi, come, your ema." Just when Heizi felt that the atmosphere was getting awkward, Ziyuan came back.

"What about mine?" Midorima frowned as Murasakihara gave Kuroko an ema and then pulled Kuroko forward.

"Buy it yourself." Ziyuan didn't give Midorima any face, and didn't even bother to turn her head.

Midorima raised his eyebrows, and almost understood what Ziyuan was thinking, and didn't say anything else, only to turn around after watching Ziyuan pull Heizi away, not knowing who to call.

There were more places where painted horses were hung than there were people in front of the shrine. Murasakihara held Heizi's hand tightly, fearing that he would be sent to another place by the crowd.

Slowing down his pace and walking forward in line with Heizi's pace, Ziyuan became inexplicably nervous.

In fact, he bought the ema early on and went back to the place where Midorima and Heizi were waiting, but what Midorima said made him dare not approach for a while.He didn't expect that Midorima would say it so directly, let alone that Heizi would admit it so directly, which made him a little uneasy.

"Mr. Ziyuan?"

In fact, if you think about it carefully, he has an advantage. At least he is the second person who has hugged Heizi among the five people, although the first one is Qingfeng, which makes him very unhappy...

"Mr. Ziyuan?"

But to be reasonable, the scene of him hugging Heizi can be regarded as taking advantage of someone's danger...Although Heizi asked for it...but in that case, it's hard to say whether it was really done.Maybe Heizi didn't think that he had sex with him at all...

"Mr. Ziyuan!"

"Ok?"

Startled by Heizi's suddenly amplified voice, Ziyuan finally realized that he had just been fascinated by something, and stood at the place where the painted horse was hung for a long time, holding Heizi's hand with one hand.

"what happened?"

"Hmm..." Ziyuan didn't answer Heizi's words immediately, but let go of Heizi, and hung the Ema fairy on the crossbar.

Heizi also hung up the painted horse after that, and was thinking about whether to meet up with other people, but Zi Principle held Heizi's hand again without saying a word, and led him to a place where there were few people.

Heizi didn't ask any more questions, but let Ziyuan lead him away from the crowd step by step.

Ziyuan is a person who doesn't talk much. In fact, among the six of them, except for Heizi, Ziyuan talks the least. Of course, this is only when he is not in front of Heizi.

"Little Heizi, open your mouth."

Heizi opened his mouth subconsciously, and a steaming takoyaki was stuffed into his mouth.

"I didn't expect the takoyaki from the small stall outside the shrine to taste pretty good." Ziyuan also stuffed one into his mouth and said while chewing.

At this time, the two were already sitting on the steps in front of an unknown shrine, waiting for the zero o'clock to strike.

I have sent a line to the other four people just now to tell the location, so I am not afraid that they will not be able to find it.Moreover, as far as this is concerned, Akashi must be able to accurately know his position by lifting his foot.

Regarding Akashi's control over him, Kuroko no longer had the slightest doubt. Although he was a little uncomfortable, after all, he had experienced such a thing, so the protected person felt a little at ease.

The two chatted one after another, from the Emperor Guang's generation to the previous game.

"I didn't expect that Muji would really die..." Murasakihara said and stuffed the last takoyaki into Heizi's mouth, "Actually, I think I can win... I can win but I still lose... If If you try your best at the beginning, you will never win. So I will definitely win the next game."

Heizi looked at Ziyuan who still looked sleepy, and heard him say such impassioned words in a lazy voice, for a moment he didn't know what expression to use to face Ziyuan, and he thought for a long time before returning. He said "We won't lose either", but was immediately hummed by Murasakihara.

"Muji will definitely not be able to participate in the competition next year, and your third-year eye captain will also leave. Apart from you and Vulcan, Seirin has nothing to fight... By the way, Xiao Heizi, do you want to come to our Yangquan?"

"Seirin is fine."

"...Yes, you have Vulcan."

Heizi froze for a moment, not quite sure what Ziyuan meant.

The two of them suddenly fell silent.

Although there is no wind in winter nights, the dry and cold air keeps lingering around the body, absorbing heat continuously, which is also quite sad.Heizi let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands together, and put them in his pockets to keep warm.

Although they were in the small forest on the flat ground, there were no small animals around, only the human voice from afar made their ears less lonely.

"I said... little black boy..."

I don't know how long it took, but when Heizi wanted to check his phone to confirm the time, Ziyuan suddenly spoke.

"I'm sorry for treating you like that that day."

Heizi thought for a while, and knowing which day Ziyuan was talking about, he shook his head.

"That was my own choice, and I don't regret it... Rather, I am very grateful to Zi Yuan-kun for being willing to touch me at that time."

"If I say, I want you to belong to me forever, will you agree?"
