>>>[This is just the beginning. ]

"No. 18." Raising his hand slightly, the basketball fell into the frame accurately.Kise leaned against the basketball hoop, lazily counting the basketballs that Midorima threw into the hoop.

"Ryota, don't think that I don't know that you've been fishing here for a long time!" I couldn't bear it anymore, threw the record book by my side and walked towards Kise.Originally, I wanted to grab his ears directly, but found that I could no longer complete this action due to the disparity in height between myself and him, so I could only kick him with my feet, "Hurry up and train!"

"Oh——Maruko, don't do this." Kise dodged my attack lightly, but his whole body was still sluggish, "I'm not in the mood today."

"You haven't been in the state since the last early end, have you?"

Kise opened his mouth and was about to say some rebuttals, but the green figure flashing past in front of the basketball hall attracted the attention of everyone in the hall at the same time.Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

"Xiao Liuli? Why are you here?" Seeing the uneasy light green long-haired girl, I raised my eyebrows in surprise, "Are you here to find Akashi-kun?" As I said that, I turned my head to look at He glanced at Akashi behind him.He still looked so indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him, and his red and golden eyes could not see the slightest wave of emotion.

"Well, no." Nanakusa shook her head lightly, and looked at Akashi timidly, "I... came to see Kise-kun, and Mieno-sensei asked me to come."

"Oh, it turns out that the hostess that Mr. Mieno told me yesterday was the hostess handpicked by the minister of literature and art." When I was still confused, Kise smiled knowingly.He put down the basketball he just picked up in his hand, and walked towards Nanakusa, "Is the rehearsal starting today?"

Nanakusa nodded: "I'm going for a walk today, but... I got lost when I came here just now, and it took me a while, so Teacher Mieye may have been in a hurry..." Oh, yes, Nanakusa is a road idiot.She probably realized this herself, and lowered her head a little ashamedly.

"Ah, it seems that I have to take a step first." Although the training was becoming less and less serious, Kise still turned his head and asked Akashi for his opinion at this time.Akashi stood there, his eyes did not fall on Nanakusa, he nodded lightly.So, Kise's smile deepened, as if she had taken off a heavy burden, she walked to the locker room.

I looked at the back of his leaving, the blond broken hair was particularly eye-catching, but I felt bored, walked back to my original place alone, picked up the record book that I had just discarded, Next to Kise's name, he scrawled with a ballpoint pen - "Ask for leave".

This is just the beginning.

"Today's attendance... Aomine, absent, Ziyuan, absent, Kise..." I raised my head, looked at Kise who was standing there, still in school uniform, and raised my eyebrows at him, "Are you asking for leave again?"

This time, he didn't feel any guilt that he should have. He turned his head and smiled at me: "Yeah."

"I really don't know if you have distinguished the priority from the secondary, and have you taken the basketball team seriously?" I put down the ballpoint pen in my hand and emphasized my tone.

"I did this because I was prioritizing, Maruko-ko. Last time you heard Akashi say that the room between me and Midori is no longer used for training." Kise's tone was relaxed. Sitting down, "As long as you can win."

What he said in a light tone made me secretly startled. I raised my head and looked at him with inexplicable sadness: "As long as you win? Then what's the point?" Among so many people, Haizaki seems to be the only one who has such terrifying thoughts.But—the frightening thing is that it seems that after Haizaki left, the people left behind are turning into the second and third Haizaki one by one.

"It's really boring." Kise's words were beyond my expectation, and his originally bright tone suddenly darkened.Disappeared again, the light that should have been in his eyes, he turned his face towards me, but his soul seemed to be separated from his body.The autumn wind was blowing his golden hair, and the expression on his face became more and more lonely, "Little Maruko, I told you - can you hear the sound of the wind? Do you know why I still Are you standing here?"

"I don't see how this is necessarily connected," I tossed the record book to my hand. "Goodbye, Mr. Boring."

As soon as I said the words, I regretted it. Whether I said such words to my childhood sweetheart or to someone I liked, it was a very bad thing.However, Kise didn't leave me any room to hold me back. He hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "Sure enough, Xiao Maruko still doesn't understand anything", then turned around and left without looking back, still echoing the basketball Loud basketball court.

>>>[Could it be. ]

"Hey, Xiao Ziyuan, how have you been all these years?" The encounter in the corridor was really unexpected.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I really haven't bumped into Murasakihara for a long time.He still looked lazy and didn't care about anything, when he saw me, he just prolonged his tone and said a lazy hello: "Oh, Maruko girl——"

"Don't think that you can get away with just pretending to be natural and harmless. Hey, let me tell you, how long has it been since you went to training?" bored.

"Chizai said that I don't have to go anymore." As if to relieve his impatience, he reached out and took out a large handful of potato chips from the snack bag, stuffed them into his mouth, and scribbled while chewing Cope with me, "As long as you win, I don't think I will lose to anyone anymore."

"What a big tone." Yes, as long as you win-is this the first time I've heard this sentence?Now, even the simple word "win" will make me have a physiological reaction, and I will be very angry in an instant.

Murasakihara is like this, Aomine is like this, and Kise is like this too.One or two is fine, but now, people with this kind of thinking actually account for the majority of the basketball team.I am on the battlefield where we used to fight, but I can clearly feel that their once hot eyes have cooled down.The ideals they once fought for have disappeared.The time they had spent together was torn apart.

The irony is that the only thing that made it all fall apart was that they got stronger and stronger.

That day, it rained.A huge gap was torn open in the blue-gray sky, and the cold and disturbing raindrops knocked on the glass window tirelessly, as if it would break through the window at any moment.Occasionally, a drop or two slipped in and fainted on the recording board at hand.

My pen tip stayed next to the line of "Kise Ryota", and I hesitated to write until the ink was scattered on my fingertips, until the torrential rain in my ears became more and more wanton, until I finally convinced myself that he would never until it comes.

"Xiao Maruko, didn't Xiao Huang come today?" Momoi opened the door and brought in the rainwater.She sat down next to me in a daze, staring at the tip of my pen in a daze.She just went to look for Qingfeng, and she swore before she left that "I must drag him back", but now this distressed appearance can't help but make people feel distressed.

"He's another guy with no talent." Midorima, who has been immersed in training since just now, came to our side at some time, he stretched out his hand to support the mirror frame, and said indifferently.

"That's not okay," I bit my lip, and put the record book aside, "I'm going to find him now."

The moment I walked out of the basketball court, I regretted it, and I also knew that I was doing something as futile as Momoi.He won't come back, the light in his eyes has gone out, he has so many things to do, how can he come back - but, I still can't easily convince myself of this fact.

Go up to the third floor, turn left, go straight, turn left, go straight again.The campus that I was already familiar with now looks like a huge maze. I walked through empty classrooms one after another, and for a while I couldn't remember where the Department of Literature and Art was.The world suddenly became so quiet, as if there was only the rain all over the sky, and me alone.

My footsteps stopped suddenly, and the clear laughter hit my heart, a little warm, a little hot, so clear that it was impossible to go wrong.I bit my lip and took a few steps forward, but stopped at the door of the classroom, my face was hidden in the deepest darkness, and my eyes cut inward, just in time to meet the bright face of the young man.

There are only two people in the huge classroom.

"Ms. Saneye is really too much. He said he was going to do something, but he hasn't come back yet." Huang Lai sat back on the chair, shaking his head helplessly and complaining to the meddling teacher of the art department, "Even Xiao Nanicao has already passed away." I found the classroom, but he hasn't come back yet."

"Okay, that's too much! Kise-kun, are you laughing at me?" The girl with her back to me was shaking her light green twin ponytails. She couldn't see her expression, but the helplessness in her voice was clearly audible.I bit my lip, and suddenly felt a little sad for Akashi in my heart. In front of him, Nanakusa would never speak in this tone anyway, "Where is Kise-kun? Why are you here so early today? Do you want to ask for leave with Xiao Maruko and the others?"

"...Not at all." Kise leaned his head against the wall, gently tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey? What's the matter... Are you unhappy with someone?"

"No," Kise said with the back of his head and a bitter smile, "I'm just making a bet—a meaningless bet with myself."

What I said not only made me confused, but also made Nanakusa confused.He simply stopped being entangled in this, and chatted with Nanakusa relaxedly on some irrelevant topics.It seems that they hit it off, it seems that they met each other late, the happiness and tacit understanding in their voices, even though they were twisted and twisted for several times, reached my ears, they were still able to easily cut a shallow and transparent scar in my heart. superior.

I went to another world again, and talked with others about things I never cared about in a place I am not familiar with—when did the life trajectory of me and him start to fork, and then we parted ways? What about drifting away?

I don't know, I don't know, it's just that the loneliness that repeatedly surges up in my heart can't deceive anyone.

The wind blowing through the corridor rushed into my neckline and brushed the black hair on my forehead.I clasped my arms with both hands and stomped quietly outside the door.They always say that there is a burst of autumn rain and a burst of coolness, but this year's rain seems to be particularly intrusive.

It was also at that moment when they stomped their feet lightly that their topic was suddenly cut off.What followed was an uneasy silence.I hastily stopped my feet, took another step back into the depths of the darkness, and hid in the dark, watching him secretly.I saw that his face was suddenly illuminated under the rinsing and harsh sky light, and the bitter smile on his mouth suddenly receded, disappeared, disappeared.And the little smile on the corner of his mouth was magnified thousands of times at that moment.

"Kise-kun?" Nanakusa turned her head in a daze before the other party picked up the topic.

"Well, Xiao Qicao, I think - I won the bet just mentioned." Huang Lai turned his face to the side, and his smile deepened, "Xiao Qicao, what do you think of 'like'?" The topic that Seto suddenly cut into was so unexpected that people were overwhelmed, and I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.I showed a little confused look, and my eyes were still on them in the classroom.The corners of Huang Lai's mouth raised, and there was an inexplicable hint of cunning in his pleasing smile.

"Huh...? Why did Kise-kun suddenly ask this?" On that side, Nanakusa was just as clueless as I was.Her long light green hair swayed gently in the breeze.Her pleasing side profile was suddenly covered with a layer of shadow, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she seemed a little lonely.Lightning suddenly parted the sky, followed by thunderous thunder, "I don't have anyone I like, so it's hard to say. However, Huang Lai-kun suddenly asked—could it be said that there is someone I like?" Stepping on the thunder Nanakusa's quiet voice suddenly became hazy and unclear.

Kise narrowed his eyes at that moment, with a smile on his mouth, as if this question was just what he wanted.There was a gentle smile in his amber eyes, which also made my heart tighten at that moment.He nodded slowly, but without any hesitation: "Of course."

"Hey—it's a surprise, I don't know how many innocent girls' hearts are going to be broken." Nanakusa's tone was teasing, but she couldn't hide the envy in her tone, "It's great to have someone you like Is it Momoi-san?"

"Pfft, Xiao Qicao, if you think so, how can you make Xiao Heizi feel so bad?" Huang Lai smiled softly.

"Huh, isn't it?" Nanakusa turned her head slightly and blinked her eyes in a daze.The rain outside the window became more and more wanton, and the pouring rain seemed to reshape this filthy world.She suddenly raised her eyebrows, as if she suddenly realized, "Oh, I see—could it be—"

"Could it be?" Kise smiled with great interest, as if he knew it clearly, and waited for Nanakusa's next words with his hands crossed.

Could it be?My body tilted slightly, and in the next second, I was almost about to break into the door.The heart was beating heavily on the left chest, and it seemed to be waiting anxiously, screaming eagerly.

"Hey, little Ariel, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still like being a eavesdropper so much!"

Another flash of light made the whole world pale.I turned around in panic, and Haizaki stood behind me, with an almost cruel smile on his raised eyebrows.

I heard the sound of pushing and pulling the chair behind me, and his fine footsteps.

My throat felt as if it was about to burn with thirst, and my body seemed to have been immobilized by a witch.Everything ugly, despicable, and shameless was unreservedly displayed in front of that person at that moment.Little by little, I wanted to turn my head, want to show him a heartless smile as usual, as if nothing had happened—but, the moment he was about to fall into sight, I quickly turned around, Running in the opposite direction.

"Little Maruko!" His voice suddenly became anxious, but it was blocked by layers of rain curtains and dissolved in the bottomless deep sea behind him.
