[Black Basket] Me and you

On the way back, Utayo stopped by the bookstore to buy the reference books for the next exam. She originally wanted Ziyuan to help choose them, but when he saw a small store nearby, his eyes glowed and he left. Also followed.Gedai looked at the neatly arranged books, one head and two big, but Che, who had been following him all the time, looked at the beautiful books with sparkling eyes.

It is even more difficult for Gedai, who sleeps in class and makes the teacher cry with anger, to buy reference books for use, so she consciously asked the owner of the bookstore, "Recently, students in Yangquan have come to buy reference books. What kind of book is it?"

This is the bookstore closest to the school, so most of the people who come here to buy books are students from Yangquan. Although she doesn't know what to buy, it is always right to follow the route of the masses.

After getting the reference book and paying the bill smoothly, Utayo turned around and found that Che who had been by her side had disappeared.

"Che?"

She yelled, and a head popped out from behind the bookshelf not far away. It wasn't Che.

"Sister, I'm here." He held the book in his arms and looked at her with a blushing face.

Zhao Lu smiled slightly, packed the book and put it on the cash register, then walked towards him, "Does Che like reading?"

The little guy nodded his little head, "I like it!"

Gedai took the book in his hand and casually flipped through a few pages, and was surprised to find that it was an introductory book on basketball, "Uh..."

Seeing her expression, Che snatched the book anxiously and held it tightly in his arms, looking at Gedai with a pleading gaze. "Sister, can I buy this? I will pay you back with pocket money when I get the money back!"

this kid...

Utayo patted his head, "Well, if Che likes it, I'll buy it for you." Anyway, it doesn't cost much.

The little guy's eyes lit up instantly.

"However, if Che really wants to play basketball, you can ask Ziyuan-kun! You should have seen that Ziyuan-kun is very good!"

He nodded fiercely, of course he knew he was very powerful.He also became interested in basketball because he watched the previous game.

"I'll ask Brother Ziyuan to try it later."

Utayo rubbed his head twice again, "You're very motivated! But I don't know if Murasakihara-kun will agree..."

Because the training volume of the basketball team of IH's games was much greater than usual, Zi Yuan-kun came back with a tired body every day, and she couldn't help worrying about his body.And Ziyuan-kun's temperament that is afraid of trouble...

She looked at Che with a look of hope in distress, "Well~ if you go with food, Mr. Ziyuan is still easy to talk to."

Utayo, who has already figured out Murasakibara's temperament, is the first to betray his roommate!

"Shouldn't we buy a basketball first?" Utayo led Che out of the bookstore and said to Che with his head tilted. She didn't know anything about basketball, let alone Che, who was only six years old. Just ask a professional."

She and Che stood blankly at the door of the bookstore, surrounded by a steady stream of pedestrians, and the person who had said they would wait for them at the door disappeared.

"...Not here!"

It stands to reason that a person with a height of more than two meters is very conspicuous in the crowd, but Gedai Leng didn't find that figure, but Che, who was holding her hand, pulled her hand and pointed in a direction with the other finger, "... …found it."

She saw it in the direction he pointed.

Murasakihara and Ao were drooling while staring at the desserts in the window, slumped against the glass like a gecko!The reason why Utayo couldn't find that tall figure was because he was squatting at the moment, and he stuck his whole face to the glass, because of the barrier of the glass, his expression became very strange.And Cang next to him was doing the same thing as Murasakihara.Pedestrians around covered their mouths and giggled when they saw this strange combination. Even the owner of this dessert shop looked at them with a smile on his face.

Seeing their appearance, Ge Dai slapped his palm on the forehead, and couldn't bear to look directly at them.

She took two children out today, right?It's two!Then why does she have three feelings now!

"Ziyuan-kun..." Her voice was full of helplessness, seeing the eyes of the people around them falling on them, her face immediately burned into flames.

Ziyuan looked at the desserts displayed in the kitchen window one by one, and when he saw the creme brulee in the fourth row, a familiar figure appeared on the glass in front of him.He is not conscious of being ridiculed at all, and it can even be said that he does not feel that there is anything wrong with his actions. Seeing Gedai, he is like an adventurer who has discovered a new world and is excited to share it with others, "Look at Xiao Ge, Lots of food!"

Those shining eyes made Utayo, who was about to say something, subconsciously shut up, and immediately set his eyes on the window over there.Including the birthday cake, there are more than [-] kinds of desserts in the small window. According to Ziyuan-kun's temperament, he should not let go of any of them!

"... Ziyuan-kun wouldn't want to buy them all back, would he?"

Sure enough, Ziyuan nodded.But in the next second, he showed a distressed expression, frowned, looked in the direction of the window and sighed, and then stared eagerly at the food inside with those purple eyes.

...I always feel so pitiful!

The empathetic Utayo probably guessed the reason for his behavior, probably because he bought too many snacks and there was a financial crisis!

It has to be said that Utayo's understanding of Murasakihara is not to be feared. Because of the increase in the amount of practice recently, Murasakihara, who is in the long-term physical stage, is hungry much more often than usual, so he spends a lot more on snacks.It seems that it's time for his mother to give him more pocket money, Ziyuan thought so.

Utayo looked helplessly at Murasakihara and then at Che, who was talking to Cang for some reason, and suddenly a thought flashed through him.

"Mr. Ziyuan..."

Murasakibara, who was concentrating on how to bring these desserts home, looked away reluctantly after hearing Utayo's voice, and turned her head to Kami Utayo's smiling face, her purple eyes slightly wide open .

Seeing him looking over, Utayo bent down and kept the same line of sight as Murasakihara who was squatting, "I have a way to make Murasakihara-kun eat the desserts here every day!" Seeing Murasakihara's eyes light up, Utayo continued, "As long as Murasakihara Jun promised to teach Che basketball."

"it is good!"

He agreed almost without even thinking about it, it seems that the condition offered by Utayo is too tempting.

"That's great, Che!" Utayo happily hugged Che and rubbed against him.

"Sister, breathe..."

"What? What? What are you talking about?"

Murasakihara stared blankly at Utayo who was having a fight with the two children, and for some reason there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

——He likes to see Xiaoge laughing.

In the end, Goyo bought a cake and a few puddings and went back. He only paid attention to their styles until it was time to pay.It's so expensive, the cheapest one pudding is 1000 yen, this time it's really a big loss.So on the way back, two real kids and a fake kid happily ate pudding, she bit the pudding spoon behind them and burst into tears, it wasn't pudding but money!Too extravagant!

Utayo, who had been walking absent-mindedly, didn't even know when the person in front stopped, and bumped straight into Murasakihara's back.

"Hiss! I'm sorry Ziyuan-kun..." She held her nose and apologized, only to find that Ziyuan's attention was not on her side.

"what happened?"

She followed his line of sight curiously, and froze in place the next second.

"Ah! Ah! It was a car accident!"

The surrounding discussions made her body tremble, and her amber eyes were like gems that had lost their luster, dull and dull.And something in my mind seemed to be struggling to get out.

"I heard that the brakes were broken, so I slid down the ramp and hit the car below."

Concave and convex rock walls... violent vibrations...

"The driver seems to be a woman. It's so pitiful that I can't see her original appearance clearly."

Blood...a lot of blood...why didn't it move...

"Little song..."

【... Live well...】

Something seemed to burst out of his eyes, "Don't leave me alone..."

Sensing Utayo's strangeness, Murasakibara, who desperately called Utayo's name, suddenly had a flash of panic when he saw those dull eyes, and the tears that followed made him even more at a loss.In his eyes, Utayo has always been innocent and energetic, but now, Utayo in front of him is vulnerable and vulnerable.Although he didn't know why, he still hugged her into his arms after hearing her say that.

"...Xiao Ge is not alone!" As usual, the long-drawn-out speech has a worry that even he himself has not realized.He patted Utayo's back again and again, and realized later, are all girls so thin and small?

Being slapped by Murasakihara's clumsy and unrestrained palm, Utayo recovered from the sudden shock wave, and when he recovered, he found that he was being held in Murasakihara's arms. Jumping away, speaking incoherently, "Zi, Zi Yuan-kun...for..."

Seemingly dissatisfied with her actions, Zi Yuan frowned, "Because Xiao Ge seems to need comfort."

"Uh……"

Murasakihara bent down and stared at Utayo's face for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief, "It seems to be all right."

With a surprised expression on Utayo's face, he scooped up a spoonful of pudding and put it in his mouth, "Let's go back!"

"Ah... um!"

Utayo reacted slowly and followed Ziyuan, secretly glanced at the person beside him, could it be that she worried him just now?

Looking at the backs of the two drifting away, Cang and Che, who had been forgotten in place, mourned their sense of existence.

In the summer night, without the heat of the day, the cool wind blowing in from the window brought coolness to this slightly crowded room, and at the same time, the gentle moonlight came in, quietly shining on the tatami on the floor .On such a beautiful night, the people on the tatami mats frowned, dripping with cold sweat, and looked in pain.

The intermittent noises woke up the bed next to the room that was only separated by a curtain.He sat up in a daze, yawned with tears in the corners of his eyes, determined the location of the sound, fixed his gaze on the other side of the curtain, blinked his half-closed eyes, "Xiao Ge, why are you still talking?" Do not sleep?"

It's not the first time I found that Gedai went to bed late, and occasionally woke up in the middle of the night to find that Gedai was still doing other things.But today's situation is a bit different, there is no light on the other side of the curtain, and the voice didn't stop after he uttered it, on the contrary, it was even more painful.

I always feel that something is wrong.

For some reason, Utayo's fragile appearance in the afternoon emerged in his mind, his heart beat violently, and almost without thinking, he opened the curtain that blocked the bed between the two of them.With the moonlight outside the window, when he saw Ge Dai who seemed to be haunted by something, he froze in place.

She gritted her teeth tightly, her face was in pain, and the tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes wet the pillow under her.

"Small...song..."

Murasakibara hesitantly called her name, although he really wanted to wake her up, but with Utayo's appearance, he was a little afraid to do it.

"don't want……"

Utayo's voice was very low, Murasakihara couldn't hear it very clearly, and Murasakihara, who was about to listen closer, was taken aback when he saw the tears in the corner of her eyes, "...I'm sorry!"

This time he got it.

He gently wiped her tears away, and his eyes on Koyo became deeper.

This is a nightmare!Sure enough, he was still frightened by the car accident in the afternoon!Girls are so timid!But this is the first time he has seen such a little song, could it be that there is a deeper reason?

Ziyuan's guess was basically correct, because of the car accident in the afternoon, she remembered the car accident that she was forced to put aside in the corner of her memory, the car accident that took the lives of her parents.

It was also on a continuous downhill that the brakes of the car suddenly failed. At that time, it was her father who was driving the car. He pushed the car close to the inner rock wall and tried to stop the car by frictional resistance.Song Dai still remembers the bumpy car body and the harsh sound made by the car body colliding with the rock wall.She was hugged tightly by her mother. Although she was very scared, her mother's words made her feel relieved.

"Gedai is a good boy, God will definitely take care of you."

"Don't be afraid, baby, mom will definitely protect you."

"Even if it's just you, you have to live a good life, you know? You have to remember that mom and dad will always love you..."

No one would have thought that a small car would hit her head on. She only heard a loud noise and then knew nothing.

She regained consciousness again because she was awakened by the pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw her mother who was desperately pushing her out of the car window.She was covered in blood and her lower body was crushed by a deformed car. Even so, the first thing she did when she regained consciousness was to confirm that her child was okay. She was relieved after confirming that Koyo was only bruised, and then she began to exhaust herself. With all the strength in his body, he pushed Gedai out of the car window.The pressed body was bleeding because of her movements, but she didn't care about it. There was only the small car window in front of her eyes, and that deformed car window was her daughter's only safe exit.

"Don't be afraid of pain...Be strong...Even if Mom is gone, I will watch you in the sky with Dad...Apologize on behalf of Mom like a brother, I can't spend his birthday with him...Gadai wants to be with brother..."

Her voice was getting weaker and weaker, and the strength she used on Utayo was also getting weaker and weaker. She looked at Utayo who was already crying and couldn't see the original appearance and laughed. She pushed behind Utayo with all her strength. Suddenly, she finally closed her eyes when Gedai rolled out of the car.

Although it was less than a meter away from the car window, Utayo still fell badly, and with the wounds on his body that were scratched by the glass, he looked like a bloody man.After falling out, she endured the pain and ran back. Through the window of the car, she saw the bloody father in the driver's seat and the unconscious mother.No matter how she yelled, neither of these two people opened their eyes to look at her. The bright red blood stung her eyes, and she wanted to crawl in regardless.

The accident happened at this time. The gasoline leaked from the collision of the two vehicles caused the body to explode, and she was thrown several meters away by the heat wave.If it wasn't for the arrival of fire trucks and ambulances, Utayo might have died like this at that time.

"...so scary! Don't leave me alone..."

The hand that was scratching in the air was grabbed by someone, and the slender white palm was wrapped by a wide palm, and the warmth in the palm was continuously conveyed, "I am not alone! I will accompany Xiaoge! Xiaoge, I am here Here with you..."

Maybe it was feeling the warmth, maybe it was hearing the voice, and the restless people finally calmed down.The tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the chaotic breathing became even. Everything was the same as usual, the only difference was that she refused to let go of his hand.

Ah, what a hassle!

He brushed his hair and stared blankly at his grasped hand.

Although very troublesome!But don't hate it!

At that time, even Murasakihara himself didn't know why he didn't break Utayo's hand away but slept like that until the next day.
