[Volleyball Boys] Youth to be continued

"I just want Yumi to wear my clothes, that's all."

"..."

I have been expressed my love countless times.

Whether it's being treated as a younger sister, as a girlfriend, or as a (future) wife...Some people even go directly to her social account to comment...and make her the object of X fantasy.

Yu Wei originally thought that he should have been immune to these words long ago.

Whether it's smiling or responding to thanks, it's just part of the job.

but……

"Grinding, you..."

Grinding is different, she knows.

It is different from fans' feelings towards idols, different from what she understood at the beginning.

If she was not mistaken, the boy's words and actions... might really be based on that "popularity" as Chi Wei said.

"……are you……"

Rather than guessing on my own, it's better to ask clearly.

Thinking of this, Hami carefully looked into the boy's eyes.

"..."

At this moment, there is a clear tenderness in his eyes.

Even though it was hard to detect, even if it was very faint, Yu Wei could still feel this strange tenderness.

As if gathering rare courage, brushing the corners of his eyes and eyebrows... Ling Yuwei finally had to ask——

"... Grinding, do you like me?"

Chapter 21 The Thrilling Girl

"Ah, Grinding, you're here too, good evening~~"

If Hinata Xiangyang and the others hadn't appeared "in time", Ling Mo turned around and "slipped away"... Presumably, she would have known the answer by now.

"Thank you, Aoi-san... Wow, dinner is beef rice bowl~~!!"

"……Um."

Hami gave the rest of the food to the last few people who rushed to the cafeteria—Shoyo Hinata, Hotaru Tsukishima, Tetsuro Kurobi, Leo Huiba, Kotaro Kituta, and Keiji Akawe, while sighing slightly in his heart Get angry.

According to Bai Fuxue, when she went to the third gymnasium to find these people, they were still doing independent three-on-three training... almost forgot about dinner.

"Training is hard." Yu Wei said subconsciously as he handed the last piece of food to the visitor.

"..." For just a moment, she felt the hand holding the food froze slightly, and when she raised her head, a fair neck came into view... Further up, there was a familiar face.

Tsukishima Hotaru, who wears black-rimmed glasses... is probably the one who communicates with her the least among all the people in Karasuno so far.

"Thank you." The boy's voice was too low, if Yu Wei hadn't clearly seen his lips slightly opened and closed... he would have thought that he had an auditory hallucination.

"You're welcome."

Probably someone who is not good at communication, Hami thought, everyone is different - there are people like Xiangyang Hinata who know everyone at first sight and can chat with everyone, and there are people like Hotaru Tsukishima In this way, if you don’t chat, you will feel a little arrogant (in fact, you will feel a little arrogant after communicating, but it doesn’t matter), and there are people like Kotaro Kituta, who look lively and cheerful, but occasionally become unimaginable. frustrated people...

In short, the biggest advantage of this age is truth—no matter what kind of character you are, you don’t have to hide it, instead of becoming like many so-called adults who gradually lose themselves under the pressure of reality.

Thoughts are like a seed, it will start to germinate when it encounters water, and it will start to grow without bounds and limits. If it weren't for someone suddenly turning on the TV in the cafeteria... Divergent thinking would probably grow into a big tree.

[Then, let's announce the answer now—! 】

The voice from the TV set made Ling Yu not come back to his senses.

"Sorry... I accidentally touched the remote control." Not far away, Hyuga Xiangyang stuck out his tongue, and was immediately attracted by the TV screen like a conditioned reflex.

[The best height difference is - 13 cm! ! ! 】

???

Because she was standing with her back facing the TV, Yu Wei didn't know what was playing on the screen at the moment. She only knew that after the line "13 centimeters" was finished, the TV suddenly cut into an advertisement, and at this moment The few boys staying in the cafeteria, with confused expressions on their faces... began to discuss.

"The best height difference is 13 centimeters?" Wooden Rabbit bears the brunt, "What do you mean? Could it be the height difference between partners?" He said while thinking, "My height is 185, and Chiwei's height is 182... ...Hey, the difference is only 1, 2...ah no, 3 centimeters!"

"Senior Mutu, we don't have to think about the difference in height for so long." Chi Wei complained mercilessly.

"Hey——I just want to know if anyone among us is 13 centimeters away from anyone!" Wooden Rabbit began to be reluctant again.

"The height difference between Lev and I is 31.5 centimeters!" Hinata Xiangyang cooperated very much with Mutu's insistence, and even calculated the data accurately to the decimal point, "The height difference between me and Tsukishima is 25.5 centimeters...Damn, the difference There are so many, I really want to grow taller!"

Even the serious-looking black-tailed Tielang joined the discussion, "Well, the height difference between me and Mo Mo is close to 25 centimeters..."

"You count the people here!" This time the wooden rabbit complained.

Probably because of being infected by this group of teenagers, Yu Wei's mind also began to flash his own height - 169.3 cm, which was measured during a medical examination before graduation.

As if knowing that she was also thinking about this, the atmosphere maker Wooden Rabbit boy suddenly cueed her: "Student Aoi, what is your height? Well...according to visual inspection, it is about 170 centimeters?"

"Not yet 170." Yu Wei shook his head immediately, "It's 169.3 cm."

"Hey—Student Aoi is also taller than me..." Hinata Xiangyang fell into a depression mode for no reason.

Huiyu Lefu immediately comforted, "Isn't it obvious that she is taller than you at a glance?"

"Lev—you..."

So...why discuss height?

Yu Wei suddenly became confused.

Then Kotaro Kotaro jumped up suddenly, "Ah!", pointing at Yumi...and Akawei Jingji beside him and said, "Chiwei, Aoi—the difference in height between you is exactly 13 centimeters!"

"Well, that's right." Chi Wei didn't complain, but nodded very agreeingly, "My height is 182.3, which is indeed just 13 centimeters behind Classmate Aoi, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that I will grow taller in the future."

"Uh, so..." Yu Wei finally couldn't bear to express his confusion, "...What's the matter with this 13cm height difference?"

Why on earth are you discussing so vigorously! ?

"Didn't it be said on TV." Wooden Rabbit looked at the TV screen, "The best height difference is 13 centimeters or something."

"Uh..." The corner of Yu Wei's mouth twitched, and he immediately walked to the front of the TV, seeing Toshiba's latest laptop advertisement, which happened to freeze on the slogan of [TakeTOSHIBA, take the world].

The next moment, the camera suddenly cut back to the studio——on the big screen behind the female anchor, the words [the highest height difference between couples is 13cm] were being printed.

Yu Wei suddenly felt suffocated, and heard the female anchor continue to say:

[Sure enough, the height difference of 13cm is the most suitable for kissing. 】

*****

For just a moment, everyone fell into silence.

Including Yumi...

The embarrassment visible to the naked eye floated in the air.

At the same time, people on the TV show continued to discuss related topics——

[Also, a height difference of 20 centimeters is the most suitable for Bidong! 】

[That's right!Bidong is really exciting~~~]

That's the beauty of TV.

Even if you know that it's embarrassing...but you will still follow what the host said and fall into association involuntarily.

"Wh... What is Bidong?" There was a new question mark on the owl head of the wooden rabbit boy.

"Just... just on the wall, something like a bang?" Hinata Xiangyang, who is good at describing onomatopoeia, seemed to get to this point in an instant.

"So, why do you want to bang on the wall?" Huiyu Lefu couldn't help but look at his minister, Heiwei Tielang.

"Maybe it's dodge ball or something." Heiwei Tielang replied very perfunctorily.

Chiwei on the side immediately questioned, "Probably not."

"Does Chiwei know what Bidong is?" The curiosity in Mutu's eyes was very strong.

"I don't know either, it will be said on TV."

"Then...see what the TV says."

Yu Wei, who knew what Bidong meant, felt that this topic was really not suitable for adolescent boys to discuss at night.

【drop--】

So, she decisively turned off the TV, and then smiled at the teenagers, "Everyone, go back after eating, the cafeteria will be closed for cleaning~~"

*****

For Yu Mirai, whether it's the best height difference between couples, or the topic of wall-dong, it's just a small episode tonight, and the real main theme... the suspected "confession" about grinding is not over yet.

So, after finishing all the affairs in the cafeteria, she sent a LINE message to Momo with exhaustion all over her body.

[Grinding, do you want to come out and chat? 】

It's not that she is in a hurry to confirm something, but she always feels that the boy should have something to say... (if Hinata Xiangyang and the others didn't appear suddenly).

The message sent in the past became [read] in the next second, and Yu Wei suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

[I'm asleep] The boy's replies came one after another.

Uh, asleep?

This... so early?

So... you fell asleep, why are you still playing with your phone?

As if influenced by the red reed boy, a bunch of complaints like the barrage on Niconico floated in Yuwei's mind.

But the complaints are the ones. After seeing the boy send another "good night" emoji, she decided to respect his idea.

【Good night, grinding】

She replied with text.

After seeing that the message had changed to [read] status again, she turned off her phone.

*****

"Yes, Aoi-san, right?"

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Wei greeted a familiar figure downstairs in the dormitory.

It was the short-haired female director who filmed the "movie" on the basketball court yesterday.

"Hello, I'm Little Deer Wild Berry." The girl was about the same height as her, exuding a strong aura all over her body.

"Hello." Yu Wei nodded.

Wait...Xiao Luye, this last name...could it be...

"I'm the elder sister of Senran volleyball team leader Xiaoluye Dashu."

"Eh?"

In the ensuing chat, Yu Wei knew the whole story.

It turned out that Xiaoluyeberry was an active college student majoring in film.

And the shot she took on the basketball court yesterday is a moment in a short film she is currently making: "100 Heart-beating Moments".

Xiaolu Yeberry said that when she saw Yu Wei yesterday, she felt that her image and temperament were very suitable for the theme she was currently shooting.

So she immediately asked her younger brother Xiaoluye Dashu about Yuwei.

"I just think that Aoi-san is very familiar, but I didn't expect that he was really a star before... No wonder, the temperament is completely different."

"Uh...it's really an honor to be a star or something."

Because he didn't want to appear in the film, Yu Wei was thinking about how to reject girls, so after thinking about it, he said, "Since Xiaoluye-senpai is shooting an independent short film, it should be more appropriate to find amateurs to act in it."

The implication is that she is not suitable for someone who has made a mainstream debut.

But Xiaolu Yeberry seemed to have recognized her, and said very firmly, "I have my own selection criteria, and I think that student Aoi is suitable if he is suitable."

"But... I don't have acting skills." Yu Wei said honestly.

When she was in the group, she also shot spoof short films and the like... She was always complained that her acting skills were very stiff.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't want acting skills." The girl's face showed the pride and determination of an independent filmmaker, "What I want is for Aoi-san and Chiwei-kun to act together, that's all!"

Eh? ? ?

Yu Wei was stunned, "Chi... Senior Chiwei?"

She never expected that girls would mention Chiwei.

and……

"Well, this shot is tailor-made for Aoi-san and Chiwei-kun."

While saying this, the voice of the red reed boy suddenly floated from behind.

"Senior Xiaoluye." As if he had known him for a long time, he stepped forward and waved to Xiaoluyeberry, "Good morning."

"In summary……"

I don't know if the appearance of Chi Wei disrupted the rhythm just now, or if Yu Wei really missed something.

When she came back to her senses, she had already stood side by side with Chiwei.

Not far away, there is Xiaolu Yeberry's expression of swearing——

"Sure enough, the height difference between Aoi-san and Chiwei-kun is the best!"

*****

Everything is very logical.

Deer and Wild Berry convinced Yu Wei with "Don't worry, I will only get a blurry shot of the side face".

Yu Wei logically agreed with the girls to go to the classroom to shoot during lunch break (PS: I have obtained permission from the school to shoot).

Chiwei nodded with a logical expression of "I don't care what to shoot".

Others... also naturally knew about this matter.

As soon as he stepped into the cafeteria, he heard Hinata Xiangyang's envious voice echoing——

"It's amazing—Student Aoi is going to make a movie with Senior Chiwei—!"

In short... because this incident happened too suddenly, Yu Wei could only deal with everyone's attention with the mood of "it's logical".

It's just that when she encountered grinding, she wanted to explain very much, but the boy avoided her sight-then took out the 3DSLL and started playing.

Only then did Yu Wei remember... the game console that Grind had lined up all night to buy for her (it was still limited to pink and blue!) hadn't been opened yet, and she hadn't given him the money yet.

There are still unfinished topics between them...

But before that, she had to keep her promise first—after lunch, she would show up on time in the classroom of Class 2 of the third year of Senran High School with Chiwei boy.

They wanted to shoot one of the 100 heart-stirring moments: the scene where girls are pulled behind the curtains in the classroom by boys to chat.

"Start shooting from here. When the time comes, Aoi-san will take two steps forward, and Chiwei-kun will immediately go over and hold her hand."

There is no script, no lines... everything depends on the opening of Xiaoluyeberry's mouth.

There is also only one photographer and one camera...

"Hello, I'm Sakamoto-kun who is in charge of photography. By the way, I'm Xiaoberry's boyfriend."

"Hello, Sakamoto-san..."

Yu Wei has never experienced such a "rough" shooting.

But she still felt that it was something worthy of respect that just two people could make an independent film or something...

Therefore, she tried her best to control the desire to complain to Chiwei about the "Do you like basketball" shot yesterday, and only seriously discussed the timing of each action with Xiaoluyeberry.

Walking into the classroom - the boys stepped forward to hold hands - was pulled into the curtain - started chatting.

It seems to be a simple action, but the stuck point of each timing is very important.

"This shot won't be radio-reading, so I will remind you of the timing of each action in ABCD." Xiaolu Yeberry put forward his own idea, "And when you chat later, you can talk about anything, but Aoi-san You better act shy."

"……it is good."

Compared with the timing, it is much more difficult for Yu Miku to make a shy expression.

and so……

"ACTION——!"

During the first shooting, she was so full of thoughts about how to be shy... that she didn't notice at all, when Chiwei stepped forward to pull her into the curtain, the boy's cheeks suddenly turned red .

"Student Aoi."

"Um……"

"Can I call you by your name directly?"

"can."

"Yuwei, it's a nice name, it suits me very well."

"Thank you."

"In contrast, my name is as common as I am."

"Uh."

Probably because even though the boy's face was flushed, the tone of his speech was still full of complaints... So Yu Wei didn't feel shy at all, and even the corners of his mouth twitched.

and so……

"CUT——!"

Her performance dissatisfied Xiaoluyeberry very much, but it can be seen that the girl is trying to control her tone, "Well, the timing is fine, and Chiwei-kun's performance is not a problem, that is... Aoi-san, can you be more natural and speak well?" Don't keep your head down all the time, just look at Mr. Chiwei, okay?"

"okay."

Second shot.

"ACTION——!"

Yu Wei finally had a reaction when the boy came to hold her hand.

Because, she felt the heat from his palm.

And... the familiar scent of soap on his body.

Confused in the curtain being drawn in, and, in his gentle voice——

"Feather."

In the small space, she raised her head.

The boy's upturned eyes are reflected impartially in the field of vision, which is natural and just right.

"Yu Wei..." His well-shaped lips slightly opened and closed, "If it was in the past, would your fans feel uncomfortable if you filmed with boys like this?"

Yu Wei was slightly taken aback, thinking in his heart that the young man Chiwei asked such a wonderful question, and nodded, "...well, they will say on social platforms, 'this person must die' or something like that."

"So..." The boy's cheeks were flushed, but his tone was as calm as ever, "Then I must die today."

"..."

As someone who has experienced it, Yu Wei, who has no acting skills, really finds it too difficult to shoot...

Look, the second shoot still didn't work.

The reason was: "Student Aoi, the corner of your mouth twitched unnaturally just now."

then……

Take the third shot.

"Yuwei, there is a small mole on the tip of your nose."

"..."

Within a short distance, Yu Wei felt the boy's mint-like breath sprayed on his face, and just when a little "shy" emotion began to emerge...he was completely extinguished by his words.

"Yes, this mole is very shallow, you have to get very close to see it." She responded to him casually, and continued to brew emotions.

"So..." For some reason, the boy's eyes suddenly moved away from her face and looked aside, "...I hope I'm the only one who saw it."

——"CUT!!!"

Because of the strange expression of the red reed boy just now, the third shooting did not pass...

It's so hard!Yu Wei sighed in his heart.

So during the fourth filming, she felt that the young Chiwei was really out of shape... So she held the mentality of "Although I am not good at acting, as someone who has filming experience, I can comfort Chiwei!" When he was caught in the curtain, he said to the boy, "Senior Chiwei, are you tired from shooting? It's okay, just bear with it."

"Not tired." The boy seemed to take a light breath, "I just feel a little regretful."

"What are you sorry about?"

"That's what was said on TV yesterday, why 13 centimeters is the best height difference."

"Eh?"

"It would be great if there was such a plot."

"..."

Chi Wei must have done it on purpose, Yu Wei thought.

He must have said that intentionally to elicit her shyness.

but……

"No, it's not shy enough." Deer Berry's standard is very high.

"what……"

Yu Wei already wanted to give up.

That's not shy... how can I be shy! ?

"ACTION——!"

By the time of the fifth filming... Yu Wei was completely enlightened.

She stared at Chiwei in front of her, and couldn't help sighing, "Senior Chiwei...you can say these words calmly, it's really amazing."

"What do these words mean?" The boy also looked at her.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yu Wei feels that he is closer to her at this moment than in the previous few shots.

It was like... trying to whisper to her.

"That's right..." Yu Wei wanted to avoid his gaze very much, but once he avoided it, the shot would be invalid... Then he controlled his emotions and continued, "Most people would feel shy when they said those words just now, but your tone More like a rant."

She finally expressed her feelings.

And the boy immediately responded to his thoughts, "Doesn't Yu feel shy?"

"Senior Chiwei's tone, it's really hard for me to be shy." Yu Wei whispered.

It wasn't until she finished speaking that she came to her senses, as if even her own speech had become like a rant.

"So..." The boy's pupils seemed to flicker slightly, as if he was thinking about something, "Then I'll try again."

"..."

Not an illusion.

It is indeed... completely different from the previous few shots.

He who was close at hand suddenly changed from an indifferent and calm look...to very serious.

"Feather."

Even the tone of voice is very solemn.

"I like you."

It was as if an indescribable scorching heat suddenly permeated the surrounding air.

"And I think it shouldn't be the way fans love idols."

Even the heart was hit by this sudden temperature.

"It's ordinary, boys like girls."

Accelerate suddenly.

To Be Continued

The author has something to say: Here I am again, the number of words in this chapter exploded again~~

I wrote this in one breath, I need to take a break... so I will stop updating for a day tomorrow and resume the day after tomorrow.

I don’t know if you have noticed that, in fact, the two teenagers who have drawn the most attention so far, Grinding and Chiwei, have never directly appeared from their perspectives. The scenes about them are all seen by Yu Wei or through other people. I think it will be more like a shoujo manga when written this way...

So I'm thinking about posting a special episode from their perspective after the end of the co-sustainment chapter, let's talk about it then.

I am very happy to see more and more comments. I hope everyone can express their thoughts to the fullest.

After all, communicating with everyone is the motivation for me to write~~
