[Kuroko's basketball] Tomato balls

>>>[Change. ]

The leaves outside the door turned yellow and fell to the ground.Autumn is here.

I stepped on the autumn leaves all over the ground, and stopped under the house with the name plate of "Kise".Nine years ago, the youthful appearance of this house was still in sight, but now it has experienced countless winds, frosts, rains and snows, and even the house is old.

Time has passed, the house is old, and the children of that year have grown up.

Suddenly there was a warm touch on my cheek, I turned my head and saw Kise who was holding a can of hot coffee smiling at me: "Good morning, Maruko."

"Morning, Ryota." I instinctively avoided his warm eyes, looked at the ground, took the can of coffee from his hand indiscriminately, my fingertips touched lightly, a slight uneasiness and secret joy It came to my heart again, and the tip of my nose turned red before I knew it.

"Little Maruko...has been acting weird lately." Kise blinked, and gave me a dissatisfied sideways glance, "I always feel like I've become indifferent to me."

"Who has ever been enthusiastic about you! I, I am a person who likes someone, how can I be too enthusiastic about you!" I lowered my head and wanted to open the lid of the hot coffee in my hand, but my hands trembled disobediently .Kise sighed bitterly, took the coffee from my hand again, and with a crisp "click", he returned the opened cup of coffee to my hand.

"Let's go, we're going to be late for school." The autumn wind swept past the fallen leaves, his voice was in a trance, and the autumn wind beat him a little harshly.

On the way to school, Kise and I ran into Suzuki from the basketball team by chance.Suzuki greeted us familiarly and came up to us, and discussed with Kise what he had seen and heard during the summer vacation with great interest - the World Cup and Octopus Paul, the latest iPhone products, Ayumi Hamasaki's latest album...etc. wait.To my surprise, Kise could answer Suzuki's questions fluently. One after another, those names and terms that I was not familiar with crossed my eardrums and fell lightly out of my thoughts.I don't watch football, I don't know many people, and I can't afford an iPhone. I don't understand what software they are talking about, and I don't listen to Ayumi Hamasaki's songs.Kise, who was smiling and chatting with me just now, seems to be two worlds away from me at this moment, as if I can't get involved in their conversation.

how so?I listened to their conversation in a daze, feeling all lonely in my heart.

Gradually approaching the school gate, a sakura-colored figure could be seen from a distance.I quickened my pace, and gently threw myself into Momoi's arms.Momoi patted my black hair lightly, looked up at Kise: "What's going on, Xiao Huang was snatched by Suzuki-kun?"

After the question and answer about "the person I like" that day, Momoi came to me quietly and asked me in private—"Is the person you mentioned, Xiao Huang?" Naturally, I had nothing to reserve about Momoi, so I honestly said: Nod in agreement.Knowing the truth, Momoi rolled her eyes with a smile: "It really is! That's great, Xiao Huang also likes Maruko."

"How is it possible?" I opened my mouth exaggeratedly, "Didn't you hear what he said just now? He has someone he likes."

Momoi tilted her head and blinked her eyes meaningfully: "Huh? How does Maruko know that 'she' is not you?"

Momoi's words made me feel stuck in my throat instantly. I lowered my eyelashes and jumped over a small pond under my feet, but there was still a splash of crystal water: "What if it's not me? I don't have the guts to believe that person is me. I don’t have the guts to accept that it’s not me.”

That's right, I'm just not courageous, I'm cowardly, when I encounter something about Kise, whether it's myself or Aoqi, I'm just very cowardly and indifferent, even I feel like I'm angry.

Momoi anxiously reached out and pinched my nose: "Little Maruko, it's better to tell Xiao Huang earlier about this kind of thing? Just think about how many girls in school are in love with Xiao Huang..."

"I know, Wuyue, it's better for you to confess to Xiao Heizi yourself first." I lowered my shoulders dejectedly, then looked up at Kise who was behind me, his eyes were bent into two small eyes with a smile. Crescent Moon waved goodbye to Suzuki.The blond hair shone particularly moving under the warm light of early autumn, "If you have a chance, just chat with him casually..."

I did not take the initiative to seek that opportunity, and God did not intend to give me that opportunity.In hindsight, it was an eventful time.Supervisor Platinum suddenly passed out and was hospitalized shortly after Senior Hongcun and the others retired from the team. The basketball team has since lost a major pillar; What also increased was the arrogance and annoyance of the youth, and the most serious of them were Qingfeng and Ziyuan.In addition to those annoying things about the basketball team, the internal affairs of this class are also annoying enough.I don't know who spread the rumor that Nanicao and the classmate next door and the president of the literary club had met classmates early. The rumors spread wildly, and the girls in the two classes formed two factions of support and opposition. Every day, gangs and cliques intrigue and fight against each other.The two parties innocently denied it everywhere, but unfortunately with little success.I don't think this matter has much to do with Nanakusa and Hayami, it's just that the group of girls who want to form a small group are not interested in drinking.Akashi naturally knows this too, but as the squad leader, he has to constantly coordinate the relationship within the class, deal with internal conflicts within the basketball team, and listen to gossip about the girl he likes and another boy every day. The original gentle smile disappeared from Akashi's face at some point, maybe it was my illusion, his dark red eyes had a little more golden light, and then his eyes became cold and sharp.

The undercurrent is surging, and contradictions are on the verge of breaking out.

"Do not make jokes!"

Qingfeng's voice of shock and anger stirred up echoes in the entire empty basketball arena.Momoi and I put down our work at the same time, and looked up at the source of the sound - Aomine.

Here we go again——I sighed inaudibly, and Momoi beside me also frowned at that moment.

"It's really not my fault...it's just that Aomine-kun is so powerful! No one can stop you at all!" Suzuki, who was sweating profusely, trembled, like a little cat in front of a black panther Generally trembling in front of Qingfeng.

Qingfeng was stunned at that moment.I saw that something seemed to be extinguished in his eyes, like a bright star suddenly fell and dissolved in a bottomless lake.Gone, gone, never to be found again.

"I quit!"

"Qingfeng-kun!" Qingfeng rushed out of the door, Momoi saw this and tried to chase after him, but was sternly stopped by the supervisor.There seemed to be a cold light in the quiet eyes behind the supervision glasses. He turned around and walked in the direction of the backlight, "I'll talk to him."

Qingfeng never attended the basketball team's training after that, and the supervisor turned a blind eye to it.And Murasakihara also angered Akashi with his disdainful attitude on the same day. The two had a competition. To our surprise, Murasakihara almost won that competition. However, Akashi was Akashi who had never been defeated after all. He reversed back into form anyway.But after that time, the little warmth in his eyes was submerged in the coldness, and one of his eyes completely turned into a frightening golden color.

Change, everything is changing.Fewer and fewer people participated in the practice. Although the crisp sound of the sneakers on the painted floor and the empty echo of the basketball hitting the ground could still be heard in the basketball gymnasium, the once breathtaking The passionate passion that haunts my dreams, if I say no, it will be gone.

"For today... Murasakihara is still absent, and so is Aomine." Another day of fragmented training, I counted the heads feebly, and the rustling sound of the tip of the pen when Momoi was recording by the side was also very lonely, "Akashi's words... he is Here we are, now... probably called by the supervisor." I raised my head and silently looked at the three remaining people in the stadium.

Originally, a field was specially set up in this huge First Army training hall for the six members of the "Generation of Miracles" to train basketball.But, now, a field with three people is really too spacious.

Kise turned his face slightly towards where we were, hooked his hand lightly, and the basketball fell into the frame beautifully.He no longer bent down to pick it up, but walked straight to us: "It's almost the end of today, should we end it early?"

"It's rare for you to be able to fish." I looked down at my watch. It was 10:[-], [-] minutes before the end of the usual training time, and it was not much earlier, so I nodded in agreement, "No exception."

Kise got permission, and turned around to greet Kuroko and Midorima, who were still hard at work, to call it a day.Midorima turned his face to look at him, but turned around but was still obsessed with the basketball in his hand.Huang Lai put his hands on his waist and let out a long sigh, as if he hated iron but steel.

Maybe I should have noticed at that time, I don't know when it started, just like Aomine, the light in his eyes disappeared.

"Everyone has been acting weird lately..." I went home with Kise, Momoi, and Kuroko, and it has been like this for the past few days.Looking back at the team at this time, and recalling the past summer vacation, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and I immediately sighed that "the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year".

"Yeah, it's really different." Huang Lai looked up at the starry sky, and lazily agreed, "It's normal now, only me, Xiao Heizi, and Xiao Lujian."

After the Qingfeng incident, Heizi talked a lot less, and the smile also faded from that face.He lowered his head and said softly: "Mr. Qingfeng couldn't find answers to his troubles, so he got deeper and deeper. Ziyuan-kun and Akashi-kun probably also..."

"I really hope everyone can solve your troubles quickly," Momoi turned her face to the side, her cherry-colored long hair drooping weakly, and the flickering sadness flickered in her eyes, she stretched out her hand, and gently held it Heizi's sleeve, "Hey... Everyone, we will definitely play together happily like before, right?"

The tail of her question rose, as if she was eagerly waiting for an affirmative answer.But no, only a long silence answered her.

No one can answer her, no one can give her a guarantee, a promise that she will not break her promise.Because this change came too suddenly, and it seemed—forever, irreversible.

>>>[I'm just kidding. ]

"Little Maruko, let's escape training together today."

It was another misty morning, but what was different from that day was that it was already late autumn.Everything is desolate, losing all life and vitality.The opened can of coffee that Kise handed me was still as warm as before, but the moment his words fell, a biting chill rushed from my fingertips to my heart, and I raised my head.

"Ryota, this isn't funny at all." I tightened my grip on the coffee can, "Do you think what Aomine, Murasakihara, and Akashi are doing is advisable?"

"Ah... just kidding." The coffee in his hand was steaming thinly, blurring his appearance in front of me.Guiltyly, he cast his eyes to the cloudless sky in the distance, "But, I've been really busy recently. Teacher Mieno from the Arts Department came to see me yesterday, and asked me to be the host of the December art show... Xiao Maruko, are you interested in signing up as a hostess?"

"I'm not interested. I'm still busy with the basketball team." I took a sip of coffee, but I burned my tongue because of the swift action, and the tingling pain from the tip of my tongue hit my heart heavily.

"Ms. Guang'an from the modeling agency also called me yesterday. A new photobook is about to be released..." He lowered his head and gently kicked away an obstructing stone at his feet.

"Didn't you find time to train when you were busier before?" I stopped at the corner and frowned.

Kise also stopped following me, turned around, and put his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened.The autumn wind kidnapped a dead leaf and staggered towards us, blowing the golden hair on his forehead.

His clear amber pupils reflected light, but the light was pulled into nothingness.He raised the corner of his mouth slightly towards me, raised his chin, and said, "Don't take it too seriously, I'm just joking, Xiaowanzi."

"It's not funny at all." I muttered, and stepped forward to his side, "Don't become like Aomine and Murasakihara, do you hear me?"

"Doesn't Xiaowanzi have someone he likes? Why do you still care about me so much?" He narrowed his eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm performing my duties as the manager of the basketball team, brother!" After a second of daze, I blushed and replied angrily.Huang Lai raised his eyes and saw my ears that were suddenly red, he was slightly taken aback, his eyes suddenly became clear for a moment.

The morning sun was blowing on his golden hair, and the smile on his mouth deepened, and then a little more.

The author has something to say:

Erhuang said that he understood very witty [raise thumbs]

I'm already powerless to make them entangled anymore... It's not my style that the OTL emotional line is too cruel [Really]

This article has been changed many times before and after, and I am not satisfied.

In the early morning of April 4th (yes, when I wrote this text), I saw the message from my sister paper [rub my face shyly]

Sure enough, everyone feels the same as me, the relationship line is still too tangled.If it is too rough, it will not be conducive to expressing the main purpose. I just rewrote the copywriting, and what I want to express in each volume should be there.

Recently, I have lost many, many, many incomes back and forth, and I feel very uncomfortable.

No matter how hard it is, this road is almost over, let’s do it, and cherish it.Thank you for still being with me.

(By the way, this week we are going to take the mid-term exam [lighting candles] and beg for a good exam!!!!! [Although when you read this chapter...it seems to be too late to say this...)
