[Black Basket] Daydream

It was a sunny day off. Except for Vulcan, who had to suspend training due to a foot injury, Seirin's team members were all dragged by Aida Reiko to the swimming pool for cruel devil training.

When Heizi did dozens of squats underwater and floated up in the shape of a dead body, Jiuli couldn't bear to look directly, and left silently.Rather than seeing how they were tortured, it was better for her to go to the hospital to see Ikumo them.

Who knew that when he opened the door and walked in, what he saw was one of the uneasy members of the basketball club jumping around and playing hide-and-seek with the children.

Jiuli took a deep breath, trying to suppress the roar in his heart, squeezed out a distorted smile, and asked in a trembling voice: "Muji-kun, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Jiuli, you're here!" Muji stopped, and didn't forget to turn around and pull out a giggling child from behind the piano bench, shouting, "I caught it!"

"Scratch! Why did you sneak out again, and you still want to be punished by Dr. Maoming and stand against the corner by your ears? You idiot!" Jiu Li strode over, picked up the crutches that Muji had thrown aside directly from the corner To him, "No, if this continues, I won't hide it for you anymore, and I won't apply to Dr. Maoming for your right to watch the next game! Even if your condition is gradually improving now, you can't just ruin it so casually, okay?" A body that can be easily rebuilt!"

Muji hurriedly took the crutches, his eyes widened: "Don't be like this, Jiuli, or..."

He turned his head and looked at the children hiding in different corners of the room. From his angle, he could easily spot those children hiding behind the low shelters. They didn't notice Jiuli's sudden appearance at all.

"Ah, by the way, Pear will join us soon, our game." He blinked his eyes, stopped Jiuli's shoulder and patted vigorously, and seduced him in a tone that he thought was very seductive, "Even if you let You go through the back door and reluctantly agree to your participation in our game. In exchange for this, you can't sue Uncle Maoming."

"I don't want to go through such a back door, are you an idiot?" Jiuli slapped his hand away in disgust. Muji's hands, which are bigger than ordinary people, can even wrap her entire shoulders, which makes people feel very reliable Thick feel.

Probably because no one came to them after hiding for a long time, the children sneaked out half of their heads to look for Muji who was the captor, but they found Jiuli who appeared at some time.

Their expressions lit up all of a sudden, they almost jumped out and threw themselves into Jiuli's arms, their upturned immature faces were full of indescribable anticipation.

The children silently gathered around Kuri looked excited, but in Muji's eyes, they looked like they were watching a silent black and white movie.The lips that opened and closed could not make a sound, and the actors in the movie were silent and lifeless.

Jiuli patted the heads of the children soothingly, and she poked Muji: "Muji-kun, go and find the children, just in time to give them a little lesson now...Muji-kun?"

"Huh? Okay." Muji came back to his senses, and complained with a smile, "I'll be jealous when I see your children running out."

Jiuli curled her lips and ignored him, she squatted down and mouth-shaped exaggeratedly, pausing for each silent syllable, so that the child opposite could react.

"こ-ん-に-ち-は"

The children surrounding Kuri and staring at her are also learning. A group of people are like children in a choir in white robes in a church, singing a ballad that only they know the content, doing the same thing. mouth shape: "こ-ん-に-ち-は"

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a wall covered with green vines outside, and outside the wall are the laughter of a group of passing children.

Colorful soap bubbles fluttered to the sky, reflecting beautiful brilliance.

Obviously a child bathed in the same sunshine.

Ikuma jumped out from behind Kurashi, hugged her waist, and cried "ahh".

Since the beginning of spring, his height has sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain, and now it can almost reach Jiuli's waist. His big black eyes are like two beautiful glass balls.

"Ikumo, you're naughty again." Kuri has the deepest affection for Ikumo, she poked Ikumo's forehead, and seeing him coquettishly smiling, her expression became extremely gentle.

"Kuri-san, I miss you so much!"

"Me too."

In terms of basic language, two people can almost use lip language to communicate.Ikuma is the fastest learner among all the children. He actively helped Jiuli move the teaching tools placed in the corner of the room to the center of the room, and sat down in a circle with the children.

Jiuli sat on the floor in front of the children, with her palms down, turned around in parallel to her chest, stretched out another hand and gave them a thumbs up, making a face at them.

Everyone, it's great.

Muji leaned against the wall to watch the interaction between Kurashi and the children, the movements were dazzling, and the silence in the room was almost suffocating.

Every time he sees such a scene, Kiyoshi Teppei, who has always been good at making people happy, doesn't know what to say.All he could do was to do what Kuri had done and give them a thumbs up.

Immediately after the class of the day, parents came to pick up the children who were undergoing rehabilitation training in the hospital one after another. In the end, only Ikuma and Jiuli sat in front of the drawing board, drawing casually.

Ikuma sign language, looking at Kurashi expectantly: "I saw someone playing basketball yesterday, he looks so handsome."

Kuri chuckled, and pointed to Muji who couldn't understand the meaning of Ikuma's sign language beside her: "Your brother Muji is a very, very good basketball player."

Immediately, Ikumo turned his shining eyes to Muji, and gestured excitedly: "Then can you teach me, Brother Muji? I also want to become a very, very handsome basketball player, just like Brother Muji!"

"Ikumo wants to learn basketball with you." Kuri translated to Muji, then turned around and pinched the tip of Ikumo's nose, "He's still recovering from his injury, let him teach you when he recovers, okay? ?”

Ikuma nodded in understanding, and obediently sat back beside Jiuli, clinging to her reluctantly.He knew that Jiuli would come home later, and then he would have to go back to that cold ward, staring at the dark ceiling in a daze.

"Hey, I'll come to see you tomorrow." As Kurashi said, she also stood up reluctantly, stretched out her little finger to hook him, "Well then, we made an agreement, if Ikuma becomes a super basketball player Player, I must watch your game."

Ikuma nodded vigorously.

On the way home, Jiuli still felt very heavy.Although Ikuma's recovery state is very good, but the psychological problem is not so easy to heal.

What those children want most is to live an ordinary life like ordinary people of the same age without worrying about the strange eyes of the people around them.

From not far away came the noisy voice of a boy, and the sound of a basketball hitting the ground.

The sneakers rubbed against the rough concrete court, and the basketball slammed on the backboard and missed.

Across a green belt is a street basketball court, inside which are three children who are about ten years old, wiping the sweat off their faces and chasing a basketball.

Jiuli subconsciously walked over, stood outside the barbed wire and watched them happy.It feels so good to simply love basketball so much.

"Big sister, be careful!" Jiuli was awakened by their shouts, and when she regained consciousness, she saw a basketball flying towards her in front of her.Even through the barbed wire fence, Jiuli couldn't help but let out a scream, and hurriedly retreated a few steps, looking at the basketball that hit the barbed wire fence vigorously and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" The boys who hurried over to pick up the ball were very polite, looked at Kuli anxiously, and apologized urgently, "Big sister, are you not injured?"

"I'm fine, don't worry." Jiuli waved his hands in a good-tempered manner, "You guys continue to play, I just want to see you play."

The three boys looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.They hugged the basketball in their arms and bowed to Jiu Li: "It's fine that you don't mind, we will be careful!"

Before the words fell, Jiu Li heard the sound of a soda can being kicked and rolled against the curb stone from a very close place, sharp and piercing.

A few high school students who appeared from the other side of the road with their shoulders crossed and their backs were laughing, dyed their hair in a very conspicuous color and style, which was very eye-catching. The leading boy flicked his cigarette ash, threw the cigarette butt into the green belt casually, and turned his head Joke with mates.

"If I see that group of people next time... I will definitely not spare them!"

"Come on, who almost knelt in front of those two people when they met during the competition? It's a shame that you can still say such a thing." One of them mercilessly exposed his shortcomings and snorted coldly. sneered.

"Hey, what do you mean? You are not the same. You didn't pee your pants in fright when you saw that red-haired man!" The boy who was refuted laughed loudly through gritted teeth.

"Well, don't talk so much anymore, the game is over anyway, we probably won't meet those two people." A calmer man with glasses persuaded him, he just looked up and saw "It just so happens that there is a basketball court there, let's play a game and feel better."

"Basketball? I really don't want to see this thing anymore." The leading boy snorted, and led them to the basketball court.

As soon as he walked to the sidelines, he saw three little boys standing on the court, "Hey, get out, a group of kids still want to play basketball, don't be ridiculous!"

Probably frightened by him, the three children shrank back, feeling that they had no way to fight them, so they could only walk out with their mouths pursed.

Just passing by a group of people who were smiling triumphantly, the boy wearing glasses grabbed their basketball and shook it in his hands.

"This basketball is not bad. It's a waste to use it for you little brats. We didn't bring it. Hey, you can get out!"

The little boy who was robbed of the basketball for nothing almost cried. He looked up at the group of high school students who were much older than them, and said in a trembling voice, "But, but this basketball..."

"Ah? Are you dissatisfied?" He took the basketball and lifted it up vigorously. Watching the basketball fall from mid-air, the leading boy leaned over and smiled viciously, "Don't think you are children, I dare not Hit you."

Jiuli, who had been standing by the side all the time, frowned. There are more and more scum now, and she can't see a child who is about the same size as Ikumo being treated like this.She walked over quickly and pulled the three children behind her, looking up at them: "As high school students, isn't it too much for you to do this!"

"Ah? It's none of your business?" The leading boy with his hands crossed his chest shook his blond hair, "haha" laughed twice, "You're not so brave, how dare you..."

"This is not a matter of guts. As ordinary people, there is no way to forgive you. People like you playing basketball are simply an insult to basketball!"

"...This woman is really annoying." After being interrupted by Jiuli, the blond boy took a step forward and looked down at Jiuli.From her words, he directly thought of the boy with the same blue eyes before, and he suddenly became angry, "Why have so many idiots come out in a while, can't teach that boy a lesson, and can't you also teach you a lesson?"

"Hey Zhengnan, you're too merciless for such a cute little girl." The blond boy's companion said loudly from behind, bursting into laughter.

The boy called "Masculine Man" twisted his neck and smiled, stepped over with one step, raised his fist and bit and beat him.The three children huddled behind Jiuli, grabbed Jiuli's clothes and shivered in fear, looked up helplessly at Jiuli, almost crying.

Jiuli retreated to create a distance, straightened his palm and pressed his fingers against the opponent's soft stomach vigorously, causing him to yell out in pain, and the mocking voices of the boys behind him immediately disappeared as if the mute button had been pressed.

Taking advantage of the posture where he was yelling "Awow" and was about to fall forward, Jiuli bent his arm and hit him hard on the back of the neck with his elbow, Masao screamed and fell to the ground with a thud.

"I'm not as easy to bully as you say." Jiuli took a step back protecting the three children, and straightened her expression to look extraordinarily serious.

"Zheng, Zhengnan, are you okay?" His companions hurriedly picked him up and asked in a hurry.One of the boys took a step forward, with a grim expression on his face, "You really want to die, you—"

At some point, the tall boy who appeared behind him covered his face with a palm, and when he was interrupted to speak, he tilted his head back, and through the gaps between his fingers, he could clearly see the vicious and dangerous look of the comer. Eyes, shining like a beast.

"What are you trying to do, bastard."
