[Net King + Black Basket] Seijuro, your mother calls you to go home for dinner!

As Kaoru expected, Himuro and Kagami finished the game happily, and finally won with Seirin, putting an end to the cold war between them.Although the two still have grievances when facing each other, with Vulcan's carefree personality, Xun Li is not worried about their awkward way of getting along at all.

Afterwards, Xunli found a sunny day, and insisted on taking the two "brothers" to the hot pot restaurant to reminisce about the old days, and Alex, who recently stayed at Huoshen's house.

"I'll just say~ The bond between two people won't be broken so easily."

"Hey, don't talk like they have JQ."

"Positive solution=v=+"

Xunli and Alex walked ahead and bit their ears, ignoring the tall boys who were a few steps behind.They all thought they were called out by her alone, but they didn't know that she invited each other!

As a result, the atmosphere...became a little subtle.

"Elder Sister! I heard that you have a treat today!?" Stepping into the store, Vulcan, who had just been seated, had already begun to draw on the order paper with a pen.

"Yeah, my treat, Alex pays."

Alex's face turned green instantly, "No, we are on your territory!"

"Just kidding." Xun Li shrugged, "I was afraid that Vulcan would ruin me, so I specially chose an Allyoucaneat!"

"Good Job!"

After hearing this, she made an expression of "I knew it, I can't stand it", and waved at him, "Please be sure to eat a lot, and you must play well after eating."

"Of course!" Vulcan said so, but stretched his neck to look at the boiling hot pot and fresh meat at the leading table.

The silent ice room twitched the corners of his eyes. In fact, he had long been used to the Vulcan who was full of foodie attributes, but he always felt... ah, I really miss it.

The four of them have the same hobbies, and they brought the topic to "basketball" without talking a few words.Xunli once again recalled the match between Seirin and Yangquan, it was thrilling~

She suddenly felt that her fighting spirit was high. She never thought that Japan is really a country of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are so many good seedlings in it.It is also rare that Alex will stay here and not leave.

"Speaking of which, Vulcan, have you entered the finals?" Xun Li glanced at the ice room, and only dared to ask after seeing that his expression was normal.

"Yes, I heard that the opponent in the final is a powerful guy!"

"...Huh?" She pricked up her ears, catching his strange words.Don't you usually say "great team"?She didn't go to the semi-finals, so naturally she didn't care about other strong teams.

"Who are you talking about... He and Dun were also teammates." Dun is Yangquan's center forward. His amazing talent and height made Xunli say that he should consider professional games.

"Yes, it is the last "Generation of Miracles". "

Xun Li suddenly had a solid idea. He had heard that Vulcan was so lucky that when he first came to Japan, he would face off against the miracles one after another, just like Xiaoqiang in the comics.

"Is it finally time to start fighting the boss..." she sighed.

Hey - wait!

Isn't the so-called miraculous boss the captain?

"Akashi Seijuro!?" Kaoru's body reacted first, and the name engraved in his heart blurted out without any thought.

Vulcan was a little strange, "Ah, so you know...it seems to be a very famous guy!"

"TAT" she almost wanted to cry, one was her own kid, and the other was a junior whom she had known for several years, and in good conscience she hoped that Seijuro would win the championship. "When are you... in the final?"

"the day after tomorrow!"

At this time, the waiter had already served several plates of snowflake beef, and Vulcan directly poured a plate into the pot, and sat on the side, waiting eagerly for the color of the fresh meat to darken.

"...What's the matter, asking this all of a sudden?" Vulcan's eyes were suffocated by the heat, so he leaned back on the chair and asked Xunli suspiciously. "You didn't even set the time for my finals!"

"That's not the point."

"Can't you go?"

"...Neither."

Of course Xun Li didn't dare to reveal her identity at this time, and she didn't want to affect Vulcan's complicated mood when playing the game, it would be too unfair.

But she really had no valid reason to reject him.

Xunli finished the lunch with mixed tastes, and after paying the money, they planned to go shopping nearby. She made an excuse that she was going back to the company, and she said goodbye to them at the nearby station.

The pure Vulcan can't see heresy, and Alex doesn't know the situation on Japan/Ben, but she knows that Himuro has noticed something is wrong.

It was the same when I got along with Hongcun before, inquiring about the "Generation of Miracles" by beating around the bush, and she would fall into a short silence every time she heard the name of her little ghost.

If you look closely, she and Seijuro are somewhat similar.

Xun Li sighed, this is not a big deal at all, if you want to blame, you can only blame Japan/Ben for being too small, you can meet acquaintances or enemies within a few steps.

……

She finally decided to go home. Anyway, Seijuro will not make surprise attacks again in the near future. The mental shock he received before is not small, and I am afraid that he has not recovered yet.

However, Xunli didn't expect that Masashi was also at home.

She inferred from the extra pair of leather shoes at the door that there were no servants staying in the main house recently, and he was a little lazy in life because he was busy with work.

Some simple housework was handed over to Xunli. At first she was quite motivated, but she had to clean up the small apartment she rented in Tokyo, and gradually she was a little bit powerless.

She randomly put the shoes in the cabinet by the door, put on her slippers and ran straight to the study on the third floor——

"Hey, have you eaten... Huh?" There was not even half a person in sight.

Xunli went around to the first floor again. Usually, in the activity area of ​​the main house, he only has a large study room for work, a small study room, and a bedroom that is only used for sleeping.

She glanced at the clock—is it only three o'clock and she plans to fall asleep?

Even if he worked overtime the night before until the early morning, he did not have the habit of resting during the day.

Since they are already getting along very well, Xunli plans to go to the bedroom to find Masashi.After going upstairs, she saw that the bedroom door was closed tightly. She stopped and stretched out her hand three times.

"Have you eaten yet!?" She raised her voice and yelled directly at the people in the room.She knew that he must not have eaten it, and she also knew that he would not refuse the soup tofu she brought back from outside.

Seeing that there was no movement in the room, Xunli took a deep breath, put his hand on the doorknob lightly, and turned it clockwise to open it.

The person on the bed turned over lazily, and the fabric of the clothes made a slight rubbing sound.He obviously heard Xun Li's cry, but decided to ignore her.

"You're actually taking a nap!"

Xunli pretended to be surprised, Yashi closed his eyes and didn't want to talk to her.His complete disarmament amused her, and the idea of ​​a prank came to her mind.

She squatted beside the bed, just to annoy him on purpose.The childish side that has been hidden for a long time is fully revealed.

"Have you eaten it?" Xunli leaned over and whispered in his ear, "I brought soup tofu."

But he turned his face slightly to avoid the heat of her breath.It seems that he is really tired.Otherwise, I won't respond at all...

She curled her lips, it's really disappointing to make fun of herself.

"Are you okay?" She stared at the abnormal color on that handsome face, a little suspicious that Yashi, whom she hadn't seen for a week, was ill, or... had a fever?

Unexpectedly, he put his cold hand on his forehead, and it was really hot.

Xun Li lamented that this was the first time he got sick in his impression.Don't talk about having a cold and fever before, I never even saw him coughing.It seems that it is true that people are easy to get sick when they relax a little.

"Why don't you take medicine? How many days have you burned? Have you asked for leave? Or just skipped work? Oh yes, you are the Boss, you can curl up if you want..."

"……bother."

Masashi finally spoke, his hoarse voice lost its original magnetic timbre.

"Hmph, come on now. I'll look for medicine, and you'll give me both the medicine and the soup tofu." Xun Li rolled his eyes at him (he was closing his eyes anyway).You must know that she took care of Seijuro's illness since he was a child. No one in this family knows how to take care of patients better than her.

Xunli looked for antipyretics, but after looking at the date, she found that they were still in stock that she had bought before going to the United States... She didn't dare to take expired medicines for the precious Yashi of the dragon body, so she had to rush to the nearest pharmacy to buy the most expensive one medicine.It was already half an hour later when I went home in a hurry.

She poured the still warm soup tofu into a porcelain bowl and messed with it. Tang tofu is a bland thing, so Xunli didn't plan to make porridge.She carried it into the bedroom together with the small dish containing the medicine.The person under the quilt is still in a semi-conscious state, only the exposed red head can be seen.

Xun Li laughed dumbfounded, as if turning back time and seeing Seijuro who was pretending to be a sick man back then.

"I thought you were gone =="

Masashi opened his eyes abruptly when she put down the plate, and then said abruptly.I must have drank a few sips of water to moisten my throat before, and now my voice has recovered a lot, but there is still a subtle nasal sound.

"..." Xun Li felt guilty, but a second later he felt very angry. "Why don't you tell me you're sick? How do I know you're sick if you don't tell me? If no one comes, are you going to pretend to be a dead body on the bed/top? And what kind of accommodating tone is this!"

Masashi rubbed his temples with a headache, and decided to turn his back on her face.

It's really...so noisy...why didn't I find her chattering attribute before?This woman really hides too deeply.

Of course, if Xun Li heard his slander, he would definitely be furious.She half-forced him to stuff some food into his stomach, and then watched him swallow a small pile of colorful medicines the whole time.

Masashi probably didn't have the strength to argue with her, so he lay down to rest after taking the medicine.The body slipped softly into the quilt.

"You must be very sick." Xun Li complained and pulled down the quilt so that he could breathe through his nose and mouth at the same time.

He snorted softly and remained silent.

**

For the next two days, Xunli has been taking care of Yashi who is rarely sick. She goes to work during the day and returns home with vegetables in the afternoon to be a competent housewife.Masashi's fever subsided the next morning, and his symptoms also changed from fever to cough discomfort when he had a cold.

"That's right, that's it... I might go later, don't mind~"

Xunli apologized repeatedly to Vulcan with his mobile phone, saying that he might not be able to make it to the start of the game, but he had a completely different idea in his heart.She doesn't want to see any party lose, "No.2" is always an annoying title.It is only one step away from "No.1", but it is always a little bit short, leaving irreparable regrets with a small gap.

And she couldn't even imagine Seijuro's expression when he had experienced the taste of failure, who had long been accustomed to "victory".She was afraid that if she couldn't restrain herself, she would rush to the stage and hug him...

"why are you not going?"

Yashi's voice sounded behind him.

Kaoru clicked her tongue, she originally blamed Masashi for not caring about Seijuro's extracurricular activities... In fact, he knew better than ever what his son was doing.

"Because of fear."

"Did you think he would lose?"

"...No." She lowered her eyes and opened the mobile phone webpage to search for the current score, "But as a mother, I always have an ominous intuition."

Xun Li didn't know why she had the terrible idea of ​​"failure", but she didn't know the bottom line.

"Tsk, are you afraid that he'll be 'injured'?" Masashi didn't pay attention to this grand event in the high school basketball world, but just had a wait-and-see mentality.

"Is it strange? I was afraid that he would be hurt, but I hurt him the most..." Xun Li didn't say the word "sinner".

Luoshan had opened up a certain distance in the first quarter, but the form changed suddenly after that.Kaorina couldn't hold back her temper, and finally drove Masashi's car to the Municipal Gymnasium at high speed.

The parking lot of the basketball hall was already full, so Xun Li had to drive to a parking lot a little further away, sit in the car, and connect to the Internet to watch the score.

"Ci'ao? When did you catch up!"

Xun Li stared at the screen, surprised to find that the score gap has been narrowed.On the corner of the webpage, there are constant spectators and fans swiping twitter, basically discussing Seirin, the dark horse who reversed the score, and Seijuro and Kagami are undoubtedly attracting a lot of attention.

She couldn't bear the loneliness, so she tweeted a twitter that she hadn't logged in for several years, and typed a long list of "Akashi Seijuro, come on balalabala". It is estimated that the tweeters passing by would only regard her as an NC fan.

Xun Li couldn't remember how long he had been in the car.

As the game drew to a close, she felt breathless, so she got out of the car holding her phone and involuntarily stretched her legs towards the gymnasium.

"105:101..."

Time was running out, and Xunli checked the updates counted by seconds on twitter, and found that many spectators who had been unwavering in their belief in Luoshan winning the championship were also shaken, and they all commented that this is the most unpredictable game ever the match of.And Vulcan is the word "most". Some people analyze that he is the biggest variable in the entire WC.

But she doesn't care at all.

All she cared about was Seijuro.

A well-meaning person uploaded a photo of the scene, and from that angle, you can see Seijuro jumping up when he shoots the ball.The movements are never sloppy, and the serious expression is exactly the same as that of the children in the examination room.

Xun Li was a little dazed for a moment.

She still remembers Seijuro's ridiculous, uncorrectable shooting posture when he first started learning basketball.His white and tender paws are always unable to hold the ball, and he would often ask her with a sad face, is he not suitable for playing basketball?

Are you too weak?

Time flies, and now he has grown into a very good boy.Xun Li just regretted that he could not witness his growth with his own eyes, and missed what should have been the best period of growth in his life.

"106:105, the game is over!"

Luoshan did not open the score in the last few seconds, but Seirin made a single bet and reversed the trend and scored a goal at the last second... Well, they seem to have too much luck.

Xun Li was thinking wildly, pressing a few words on the screen with his fingers.

"Sneakily watched my kid's game. Although it's a pity to lose, I'm still proud of him... The child will always be the first in the eyes of his parents." His fingertips paused, "Well, I hope he can recover !"

Xun Li smiled wryly, no one would see it if she posted it by herself.But she just couldn't help it.

The kind-hearted people quickly updated a picture of the scene after Seirin won the game. The cheerleaders on that side were in high spirits. Kagami and his partner Kuroko were surrounded in the center of the team. Some laughed from ear to ear, and some laughed while crying...

The atmosphere of the scene can be infected even through photos, but Xun Li couldn't be happy for them at this moment.

"Alas... Actually, I'm still very sad." She admitted that she had made a comment against her will... Now it really hurts like hell.Although the meaning of existence is not just for victory, Seijuro must feel uncomfortable.

Standing at the entrance of the gymnasium, Xunli found that he had no desire/desire to enter the scene.The ticket in his hand was crumpled up and buried deep in his pocket.

She glanced in the direction of the stadium again, and could vaguely hear the desperate shouts and cheers in the stadium.Xun Li shook his head self-consciously, and decided to leave.

The moment she turned around, she heard messy footsteps.

It was clear and the sound was getting louder.

Xunli didn't turn around to see what happened, but wondered in his heart who didn't stay in the field, but ran out halfway... Could it be that Luoshan fans burst into tears because they couldn't bear the loss?

She thought maliciously in her heart.

"and many more!"

……

"Hey, are you talking about me?"

Xunli's body froze, thinking that Vulcan found himself about to sneak away... No, the voice doesn't sound like it!

"mom!"

"!?"

Xun Li's expression could be called horrifying.She trembled all over, and turned around at an extremely fast speed to stare at the owner of that voice——

She had just seen this boy.

At this time, he didn't have the sharp temperament when he shot the basketball in the photo, his hair was still stained with sweat, his team uniform was soaked on his skin, and his expression was extremely soft. The moment she turned her head, the look in her eyes The surprise was fleeting, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

He holds the phone tightly with his left hand. It is hard to imagine that the first thing he did after losing the game was to look for the phone.

"you--"

Xun Li suddenly lost her ability to communicate, and her brain froze—a very suitable description for her current state.

"Don't go...Mom."
