Song of Light and Shadow

"Ah~ It's Qingfeng's solo show again, it's so boring..."

"I think we should just drop out of the basketball team. Anyway, he can 1v5."

"That's right, it's really boring."

After the game, the players dispersed in twos and threes, and the audience had already left.On the huge court, only the young boy with blue short hair standing quietly holding the ball and the cleaner aunt who was cleaning the ground were left.

The little boy looked downcastly at the basketball reflecting the dull fixed light in his hand, and fell into deep loneliness.

It’s like this again, obviously won, why no one would praise him for playing well, but even his teammates are so far away from him... Obviously he won it, didn’t it...

Gritting his teeth, the little boy violently raised the basketball in his hand and was about to smash it to the ground.

"No."

Suddenly a soft and calm voice came from beside him, as if without any emotion, but for some reason, it slightly touched the heart of the little boy.

"It's up to you." The little boy glared at the person with ferocious eyes, but he was a little dazed for a second.

The person in front of me is very short. Although I am only four years old, my height has already reached 1.7 meters, but the little man with aqua blue hair in front of me is only 1.5 meters at most, or even less, and his hair is still a bit long.If it weren't for wearing men's clothing, it would even make people think it was a girl.

"You can't be angry with the basketball." The water-blue little man said seriously, then reached out and took the basketball from the hands of the little boy, hugged it in his arms, his eyes suddenly softened, "Basketball, I like it. "

Looking at the gentle expression of the water-blue little man, the little boy felt his heart beating faster and faster, just like the excitement when he was running on the field, but it seemed a little different.

"My name is Heizi Tetsuya, please give me your advice." The little man suddenly announced his family name, and bowed politely to the little boy.

The little boy looked at the little man named Heizi Tetsuya in front of him, scratched his head in embarrassment, shifted his gaze away, and coughed, "Uh, Qingfeng, Qingfeng Daihui, please help me."

"Mr. Qingfeng, you are very powerful." Heizi said calmly looking at Qingfeng as if it was a matter of course.

Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, and asked with his eyes wide open, "What did you... say?"

"Qingfeng-kun's basketball is very good. When he shoots, he looks like a blue bird flying, very beautiful." Heizi repeated, and calmly added a metaphor.

was praised.

Aomine Daihui looked at Heizi's serious expression, and understood that he didn't come to laugh at him, but really felt that he was very powerful.

"Uh, yes, yes." Blushing with embarrassment, Qingfeng felt a little happier, it turned out that he was really happy to be praised.

"Please be sure to like basketball." Heizi touched the basketball in his hand, then returned it to Qingfeng with some reluctance, then turned around and trotted away.

"You!" Qingfeng took a step reflexively, reaching out his hand to hold Heizi, but halfway up the hand, it stayed there.

Why do I want him to stay?

The ensuing questions lingered in his mind, making him a little dazed.

Hei Zizhe, who ran to the entrance of the gymnasium, suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Aomine Dahui in the dazzling sunlight, "Because, I like basketball the most."

Qingfeng looked at the sunspot covered in a soft halo in the setting sun, and deeply imprinted those calm eyes in his mind.

Kuroko Tetsuya.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and it seems that there are fewer unhappy things after entering Teiguang. In other words, because there are many people with similar levels playing basketball together, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

"Please be sure to like basketball."

At that time, he never forgot what that little man named Heizi Tetsuya said.

He, Aomine Daiki, likes to play basketball!

"Ah, there's no room again." Turning around, he found that the first to third courts were all occupied by players. Aomine gripped the ball and complained while wiping the sweat off his face with a towel.

"Ah, Ada~" At this time, the pink-haired girl with a ponytail happened to pass by and stopped him, "Why didn't you go to practice?"

"There is no room." Qingfeng shrugged helplessly and sighed.

"Hmm... It seems that the No. [-] arena behind is empty." The pink-haired girl glanced at the board in her hand and said.

"Oh! Thank you, May." Qingfeng smiled heartily, and immediately set off to go to the No. [-] arena.

"Oh?! Don't go, Ada." The pink-haired girl named Wuyue showed a little scared expression, "I heard that there are ghosts there. The lights in the stadium will be on at night, and you can still hear the ball rubbing against the floor." sound, but there is no one there after entering! It’s super scary! Everyone doesn’t want to go.”

Seeing Mochizuki's tangled look, Qingfeng laughed and said: "There are no ghosts in this world." Then he continued to walk forward without paying attention, "If there really is, wouldn't it be a good time to have a fight with him."

Momoi Wuyue looked at Aomine's eager back and sighed helplessly.

When we came to Arena No. [-], the lights were on.

After Qingfeng approached, he heard the sound of playing ball from inside. He thought that someone had come first, so he pushed the door excitedly and walked in, but after looking around the entire stadium, he really didn't find anyone!

Could it be that there really are ghosts? !

Even Qingfeng felt as if there was a dark wind blowing around.

"Who are you?"

A soft greeting sounded from behind without warning, Qingfeng only felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, he turned his head back tremblingly, and the next second, he froze in place.

Those water-blue calm eyes that he will never forget in his life are looking at him with the eyes in his memory.

Kuroko Tetsuya.

"Mr. Qingfeng?"

Heizi looked at Qingfeng who was so frightened that the corners of his eyes were water-stained and asked softly.

"What, it's you!" Qingfeng walked up to Heizi overjoyed, "I never found you here!" After all, he has already entered the second half of middle school, and he has never noticed Heizi. Just by my side!

"Because my sense of existence is very low..." Heizi said calmly.

"Hahahaha, the sense of existence is very low, wow hahahaha, so it is because of this reason that they are considered ghosts!" Qingfeng laughed after listening to Heizi's confession, Heizi Tetsuya, it's still so interesting.

"Mr. Qingfeng, you laughed too much." Heizi said calmly.

Qingfeng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, took a few breaths, looked at Heizi with a gentle smile and said, "Do you remember my name?"

Looking at Qingfeng's smiling face, Heizi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Well, after all, you are that famous person who entered the main team in the first grade."

Ugh?

Qingfeng felt that there seemed to be something wrong, as if Heizi's answer just now seemed to have forgotten what happened at that time.

Feeling a little upset in my heart, I replied angrily: "Ah, so, then, what's your name?"

Kuroko Tetsuya.The heart has already answered for him.

But Heizi paused, and said hesitantly, "I'm only from the third team..."

How did this guy care about these things in just a few years?Didn't you say you liked basketball the most?

Qingfeng said with a helpless smile: "Idiot, it has nothing to do with the first team and the third team. I stay to practice every night because I like basketball! Therefore, anyone who likes basketball will not be a bad person. This is my philosophy. Oh." The philosophy you taught me, Qingfeng added in his heart.

Heizi was startled, then lowered his head and smiled slightly, "...What a strange philosophy..."

"What?!" Qingfeng was astonished, obviously he was the one who taught him this!How can you say it is strange? !

"My name is Heizi Tetsuya, please give me your advice."

Just like that day, Heizi held the ball, bowed politely to Qingfeng, and introduced himself, it's just that the little guy back then has grown up.

Although it is still very short, Aomine smiled in his heart, but this is so cute.

That night, he and Heizi had been practicing basketball.Although Heizi's basketball skills are really poor, his physical strength is not good, and he doesn't know where he went from time to time, but that night was really very happy.

Since then, Qingfeng has come to the stadium every night to practice with Heizi and guide him in his skills.Seeing that although he is not big, he is improving little by little, I feel more and more happy in my heart.

It would be nice if days like this could continue.Looking at the figure of Heizi running with the ball, Qingfeng felt that something was wrong with him.

However, half a month later, when he came to practice in Hall [-] as usual, he found that Heizi was not there.He wondered if there was anything wrong with Heizi, so he started warming up first.

However, it was already past 08:30, and the figure of Heizi still did not appear for a long time.

"What's wrong, it's so late today..." Qingfeng felt a little inexplicable panic in his heart, as if he had a premonition that something bad would happen.

Ten minutes later, Heizi's figure finally appeared at the door.

"Oh! It's really late today! It's already time..." Seeing Heizi approaching, Qingfeng dissipated all his doubts just now, and greeted him with a smile.But he found that Heizi was not wearing sportswear, but was wearing a school uniform, and there was an abnormal expression on his face that could be seen at a glance.

sad look.

What's wrong?What happened? !Qingfeng was anxious in his heart, but for some reason he couldn't ask, he just forced a smile and said, "Ah? Today...are you ready to go back? No..."

"Mr. Qingfeng..." Heizi interrupted him quickly, this was the first time that Heizi would interrupt him.The uneasiness in Qingfeng's heart deepened.

"I've decided...to quit the basketball club." The soft words hit Qingfeng's heart like a rock.

Retire? !

"Are you kidding! Why!"

Didn't you say that you like basketball the most? !

"Although I have practiced with Qingfeng-kun for so long, it seems that my strength is still not enough to enter the second army..."

Hearing Heizi's faint words, Qingfeng finally realized that today is the upgrade test.Did that bastard uncle say something nasty to Heizi? !Otherwise, how could Heizi, who refused to admit defeat, be so depressed!

"I like basketball very much... However, after joining the club for half a year, I still feel that I am not suitable for this field... Maybe this Teiguang Middle School doesn't need a player like me who is useless to the team..."

What a joke!how can that be!

Qingfeng roared in his heart.But he knew very well that just by saying this, Heizi would take his words as pity for the weak, and thus feel even more sad.After getting along for a long time, he already understood Heizi's character very well.

After being silent for a while, he organized the words in his mind, and Qingfeng felt that this was probably the first and last time he would say such words.

"There is no player who is useless to the team." Looking at Heizi's moved expression, Qingfeng continued, "Even if he can't play, how could Xiao Zhe, who practiced later and more diligently than those in the first army, be useless. At least I really think you are amazing, because of you, I can practice so hard."

Because of you, I didn't give up basketball!Qingfeng took a deep breath, feeling a little cool in his lungs.

"It's not that you can do it if you don't give up, but if you give up now, it will never be possible! Stupid!"

Although I knew that my tone was a bit harsh, but if it wasn't for this, I probably wouldn't be able to wake up this stubborn guy.

"Qingfeng." At this moment, a familiar voice came from the door.Qingfeng looked back subconsciously.

It's Akashi, Murasakibara, and Midorima.

"I just said why I haven't seen you in this period of time, so you are here." Akashi looked at Qingfeng and said.

"Because there are too many people in the first few arenas."

"Yeah, that's right. Practice is practice anyway." Akashi said, noticing Kuroko behind Aomine, "He's..."

"Oh, it's the guy who practiced with me, his name is Xiaozhe." Qingfeng introduced directly.

"Huh? Is there such a person?" Akashi showed a slightly questioning expression.

"Because it's not the first army, it's a guy from the third army." Aomine said calmly, he knew that Akashi was not the kind of person who would sarcasm others at will.

"What..." Behind Akashi, the tall guy with purple hair named Murasakihara looked at Kuroko with a strange look, but he still let out a sigh and urged, "Hey, let's go... sleepy me."

"No, I'm a little interested in this guy." Akashi looked Kuroko up and down, showing a smile that only happens when he is interested.Qingfeng was startled, for some reason, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"It's very interesting... This is the first time I've seen this type." The smile on the corner of Akashi's mouth deepened, as if he had found an interesting toy, "Could it be that there might be hidden talents that are completely different from ours... ...How about it, are you interested in accepting my guidance? I can make you a full-time team member." Although Akashi spoke words of discussion, his tone was firm and confident.

Heizi thought for a while, then remained silent.

Qingfeng looked at Heizi worriedly.He is the one who guides Akashi's methods.If it was Akashi, it would indeed be possible to discover Kuroko's strength, but... what is this unwillingness...

Aomine was still struggling in his heart, but he saw Kuroko look up at him, and then, as if making up his mind, he saluted Akashi respectfully: "Then I will trouble you, Akashi-kun."

Next, it entered the stage of secret special training.Under the guidance of Akashi, Kuroko learned to use his own weak sense of presence and wide-area superb dynamic vision, so he practiced (misleading) and became a pure passer, and he practiced more and more Finally, he has reached the point where he will not lose a single pass, and he is so outstanding in steals and interceptions that even he cannot surpass.

From a certain point of view, it is really too powerful to ignore.

Especially the cooperation with him every time he played, it was so perfect that once Heizi got the ball, the next second, it was his goal.

The most goals and most assists in the game can only belong to him and Heizi.

"Qingfeng-kun's basketball is really good, and his movements are as beautiful as bluebirds flying." After a hearty cooperation, Heizi suddenly said, smiled at him, and ran back to his position.

Looking at Heizi's back, Qingfeng realized that something in his heart suddenly exploded, followed by a surge of warm, sour, sweet and other emotions that could not be expressed clearly in words.

He understood that he liked Heizi, very much.

However, gradually, I don't know when it started, winning has become a matter of course.As long as they are facing them, there will be a look of despair in the eyes of the opponents, and they will not play seriously at all, but just muddle through the whole game perfunctorily.

Then, they won the All-China Cup with a record without losing.

However, before that, Qingfeng realized that he could no longer laugh.

As soon as I see basketball, the opponent's look of giving up on himself during the game emerges in my mind, and the vicious sarcasm echoes in my ears.

"I don't know what basketball is except for being a showman. What a genius!"

Genius, genius, genius!

Everyone said so, but he didn't think he was a genius at all!Today's results are entirely the result of hard training with Heizi!But why...

"Does Qingfeng-kun hate basketball?" One day, after the game, Heizi called him out and asked calmly.

"No..." Duplicity, in fact, he no longer wants to play basketball.

"Then, I want to beat Qingfeng-kun." Heizi said suddenly, his words were surprising.

"Huh? Beat me? Xiao Zhe, you don't have a fever." Aomine laughed, just like Akashi said, Kuroko is a shadow, and only when his teammates are very strong, he will appear very strong. After all, in terms of passing, None of them are very good.

But that doesn't mean that Heizi can defeat him.

"No, I'm serious." There was no trace of joke in Heizi's eyes.

Heizi can't tell lies, and he can't joke, it's well known.

"Only by you? Dreaming. You will never win against me." A surge of anger surged in Qingfeng's heart, and Qingfeng clenched his fists tightly.

Could it be that even Heizi wants to leave him now? !

"Maybe I can't do it, but there must be someone who can do it. I will find that person, and together with him, I will defeat Qingfeng-kun." Heizi rarely said so many words, but if he really said a long paragraph , that means he has made up his mind.

"Are you kidding? I am the only one who can beat me! Besides, who agrees with you to find someone else to be your partner? You can only be my shadow, now and in the future!" Qingfeng roared out.Heizi wants to partner with others, which he can't imagine at all!If there is such a person, he does not guarantee that he will not beat him until he can no longer play basketball.

Heizi can only belong to him alone!

"I am a shadow, but Aomine-kun is no longer a light...Now Aomine-kun is the same as back then, he doesn't like basketball anymore...Although I like Aomine-kun very much, but the current Aomine-kun has no way to become my light " Heizi Gujing finished speaking calmly, bowed to the dazed Qingfeng, turned and left.

Qingfeng no longer knew how he stretched out his hand, how he took steps, and how he pulled Heizi into his arms.But when she reacted, she had already hugged him tightly from behind.

"Say it again……"

"?"

"Just say it again."

"The current Aomine-kun has no way to be my light."

"Not this sentence! The previous sentence!"

"...Although I like Aomine-kun very much...?"

Qingfeng buried his head on Heizi's shoulder, almost crying with joy.

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Then why do you say you want to leave?"

"Because the current Aomine-kun needs an opponent... so that Aomine-kun can fall in love with basketball again..."

Ah... so it is like this... Qingfeng tightened his arms, greedily inhaling the faint scent of soap coming from Heizi's body.

His sunspot...the sunspot who will think about him...

"It's useless, Xiaozhe won't beat me..." Qingfeng rubbed Heizi's neck and said with a smile.

"It's hard to say unless you try it." Heizi said calmly.

"I won't let Xiaozhe beat me." Qingfeng's smile deepened.

"I will work hard." Heizi said as if swearing.

"Say it again, I still want to hear it." Qingfeng suddenly changed the subject and ordered in a strong tone.

"No."

"Say." He raised his head, lifted the corners of his mouth evilly, and knocked his chin on Heizi's shoulder, Qingfeng bewitched by Heizi's ear domineeringly yet gently.

"...I really... like Aomine-kun..."

Seeing Heizi's reddened ears and still pretending to be calm expression, Qingfeng took a deep breath and closed his eyes with a smile.

"Say it again."

"I like Aomine-kun very much..."

"Say more."

"I like Aomine-kun very much..."

"continue."

"...Are you an idiot?"

"What?! My little Zhe wouldn't talk like that!"

"When did I become Aomine-kun..."

"From the fourth year of my childhood."

……

Under the warm spring sun, the dark-skinned teenage boy gently hugged the fair-haired boy with water-blue hair from behind, stood among the dancing cherry blossoms, and gently kissed the cherry-blossom-colored lips...
