[Kuroko's basketball] Tomato balls

>>>[Please close your eyes. ]

On my 15th birthday, I received a gift from Kise, which was no longer a colorful hair band, but a square box, carefully packaged with bright golden colored paper, and it was heavy in my hand, giving me a sense of fullness and abundance .I shook the box vigorously and put it next to my ear, trying to listen to the weird mystery in it.

"Happy birthday. You can't unwrap the gift until you get home." Kise put his index finger on his lips and winked at me mischievously.

"Of course I know." This mysterious box whetted my appetite, I curled my lips unhappily, and put the box in my schoolbag, "It's best not to be a box inside a box like a Russian doll."

"Pfft, how is that possible, do I look like that kind of person?" Huang Lai chuckled lightly, but quickly suppressed the smile, some worry rose inexplicably in the amber eyes, and the gaze fell on my knee on the gauze, "What happened to Xiaowanzi's feet?"

"Yesterday I wanted to be a warrior and turned over the window, but accidentally..." I shrugged my shoulders pretending to be disdainful, telling half of the real situation and hiding the other half.

Kise didn't think much about it, and nodded sympathetically, and the smile climbed up the corners of his eyes again.

The cherry blossoms along the slope have long since faded, and when they bloom again, it will be the moment when our long miracle years will really come to an end.Standing at the starting point of 15 years old, my heart seems to be covered with a layer of dust that cannot be scrubbed off. It is no longer transparent and bright when I was 14 years old. Inexplicably... I feel more uneasy and worry about gains and losses.

The sunlight leaked through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled light spots scattered all over the ground.The sun played and flickered between the tips of his golden hair, flickering on and off.I looked up at his side face, and the folds in my heart deepened a little, a little more.

"Little Maruko, what's the matter? Is there something on my face?" Kise twitched his eyelashes and turned to look at me.

I raised the corner of my mouth to him: "Well... After thinking about it for a long time, I still have something I want to talk to Ryota."

Eyes, have eyes.Like the eyes that surround the whole world in "Doctor Edward", I seem to be in the dark, and I am accompanied by only a pair of eyes full of viciousness and suspicion.There are eyes in my back, Hasegawa's eyes, there are eyes in my side, Hasegawa's eyes, there are eyes in front of me, also Hasegawa's eyes.One pair after another of eyes, one Hasegawa after another, they watched me, laughed at me, and cursed me.Those eyes are jealous of everything I have, those eyes are jealous of everything I give, and those eyes will eventually turn into greasy gossip floating in the air, sticking to the wings of butterflies.

"If Ryota feels very tired recently... don't use the basketball training."

"Akashi said a long time ago that Ryota is useless, and it's my fault. You're so busy, but you keep calling me over."

"Recently... Ryota is very tired, right? Take a good rest, just... don't... worry so much about the basketball team."

The smile on the corner of my mouth deepened, and more, until even I felt sour.The voice became weaker and more ethereal, and the pain and inferiority in my heart were also increasing exponentially.

Eyes, you say that I have never been nice to him, and I have never considered his feelings, so now, you see.

Eyes, you say that I have always only restricted his free steps, and have always only made him feel embarrassed, so now, you see.

I will also give him freedom, give him tenderness, give him everything he wants——

So please close your eyes.

Huang Lai stood there, stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it.Then, with a smile on his lips, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked my hair.

I raised my face to him, holding on to my tear-filled eyes, but somehow hoped that he would reject me, hoped that he would tell me that he didn’t come to the basketball team for me, and hoped that he had a passion for basketball. Love is still the same, it never changes.

However, he said, "Well, good. Thank you, Maruko. How should I say these days, Maruko is unexpectedly caring!"

I froze in place, raised the corners of my mouth, and then pulled a sloppy smile: "Of course, I want to be the most gentle, virtuous, caring and lovely girlfriend in the universe."

"Pfft—that's really a long way to go!"

It turned out that he had also changed.

>>> [I can trust you. ]

When I walked out of the teacher's office, Momoi stood at the door holding a stack of homework, staring at me with some concern.

"Yo, May." I stretched out my hand to her weakly, and laughed sloppily, "Did you hear what I just said?"

"I heard a little bit," Momoi lowered her long eyelashes, looked at the stack of densely written homework in her hand with some guilt, but quickly raised her head, putting on an expression filled with righteous indignation, "but I said , Xiao Maruko, your homeroom teacher's words are too much, right?"

"Well, yes, that woman..." I shrugged, "Who made Class A a good student like Akashi? It's even more heinous." I shrugged my shoulders pretending to be relaxed, but in fact my heart was also full of bitter sea water.

With a serious expression, the teacher in charge accused me of my frustrating grades, my unfavorable relationship, everything I did, said, and wrote.

She said that if I do nothing all day long, I will pay a heavy price for it one day; she said that the immature love between me and Kise was a mistake from the beginning, and one day it will be separated, just like she has been for so many years Witnessing the so-called love; she said, Kise has the ability and qualifications of sports and can naturally spend his youth in such a chic way, but how can I stand side by side with him when I have nothing?

Her words hit the nail on the head like that, leaving all my worries and anxieties nowhere to hide.I stood in front of her, giggling in bewilderment, but tears rolled in my eyes disobediently.Her eyes sharply caught the tears in my eyes, so she was like a proud winner, taking advantage of the victory to chase after the situation, and said, "Look, are you crying? If we don't separate now, we will cry more in the future."

I suddenly remembered the 15th birthday gift Kise gave me—that was a beautiful crystal ball.When the switch is turned on, there will be snow flying all over the sky, and colorful lights will shine on the faces of the two little people. Accompanied by the music of "Merry Christmas", it is as delicate and beautiful as a fairy tale.However, what makes people a little sad is that even though it is a fairy tale, those two cute villains were imprisoned in a transparent crystal ball for a lifetime after all. Can be viciously observed and judged by outsiders, but never have the means to speak up and ask for some poor freedom of their own.

Walking through the sun-drenched transparent corridor, Momoi shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed: "But, it's okay, Maruko-ko. Xiao Huang grew up with you, who can understand each other better than you? Just ignore such words! I believe you can go to the end. I will be your bridesmaid at that time!"

"Yeah!" I raised the corners of my mouth towards the cherry-haired girl next to me, "Hey, the best man will be Xiao Heizi then?"

The girl next to her was slightly taken aback, her face flushed with shame: "Xiao Wanzi——!"

I was just about to open my mouth to continue teasing her a few words, but I saw Kise in the face.Momoi hurriedly reached out to Kise who was at the end of the corridor and raised his arm, and Kise who saw us also quickened his pace and walked in front of us.

"Little Maruko, Little Taozi—I've been looking for you just now, want to have lunch together?"

"Huh, Xiao Huang, you are looking for Xiaowanzi, I just added it?" Momoi puffed up his face with some dissatisfaction, and turned his head, "I won't disturb the world of the two of you, goodbye!"

"Of course Wuyue is going to find Xiao Heizi, how can we destroy their world of two? Right, Ryota!" I said with a smile while looking at Momoi's leaving back.Momoi, who hadn't walked a few steps, stopped immediately, turned around and yelled at us with a blushing face.

Enough laughing, enough quarreling, Momoi really waved at us and walked away. "I didn't expect that Maruko would like to bully Xiao Taozi so much besides bullying me," Kise suppressed a smile, and said, "It's really too much."

"There's no bullying, this is obviously full of love, okay?" I raised my chin at him, dismissively.

"By the way, let's be serious, your homeroom teacher was looking for you just now?" Suddenly, Huang Lai changed the subject, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

I was stunned for a moment, and the mood that had just calmed down in my heart inevitably wrinkled again.

"Well, yes, last time I failed math again, with a score of 59." I smiled awkwardly, "It's really... super embarrassing, sitting next to Akashi and still doing this... and then I was honorably found by the teacher. "

"I don't think a score of 59 is bad, it's just 1." Huang Lai puffed up his mouth, and was filled with righteous indignation for me, "And the average score of the last grade was only 71, the teachers really made a fuss over a molehill."

"Well, not only making a fuss over a molehill, but also kept saying that you have good grades, and was recruited by Haichang." I raised my head, the sky was hidden behind the thick clouds, his face was half in shadow, half in light, and I couldn't see the outline clearly.

He was slightly taken aback, then lowered his eyelids: "Ah... yes."

"Tonghuang, Hidetoku, aren't they all good? Why do you want to go to Kanagawa?" From Tokyo to Kanagawa, it takes one hour to walk and three to 10 minutes by car. It doesn't seem so far away, but the distance from a ramp today In comparison, it is like the sea.

"Hmm... didn't mom tell Maruko?" Kise stretched out his hand and scratched his hair with some headaches, "next year, big sister is going to get married and move to Kanagawa. Mom is worried about sister, so she asks dad to stay at her house We found a house nearby, and we will move there by the end of the year.”

"Hey? Moving?" I froze in place for a moment, something in my heart entangled and intertwined and screamed together - it was emotion, that long-haired sister who grew up with us since childhood has reached the age to talk about marriage ;It's sadness, the bond that has been maintained together for ten years is about to disappear at the snap of the fingers, falling apart, "I always feel...it's too hasty—" I dragged out the ending, and wrinkled my face aggrievedly.

"Yeah, we think so too, but Mom has already decided to go." Huang Lai shrugged helplessly, "And you don't know that our house is in disrepair for a long time, and it is basically unlivable But don't worry, Maruko, I will come back to see you every day."

"Come back to see me every day? Come to see me if you don't play basketball or do modeling?" I gave him a hard look, and lowered my head to stare at my own shadow on the steps hit by the afternoon sun.On this step, my shadow was divided into fragments, but I couldn't stand side by side with him no matter what.

He was startled, and seemed to realize the impracticality of his thoughts, so he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Well... what I mean is that no matter where we go in the exam, we will not change, believe me !"

"Hmm...probably." I replied pretending to be relaxed, stepping on the steps with one foot, and bouncing downstairs.He followed me slowly, smiling at my childish back.

I jumped down the last step and looked up at him.The sun is just right, the breeze is not noisy, and the sky full of the world illuminates his young face.I raised my face and smiled at him, but my heart shrunk my face, ready to cry.

I suddenly remembered the sentence in a novel I had read, I didn't want to believe it, but I had to force myself to believe it—"I can believe in you, but I can't believe in the future."

You, will you change?In a future I can't see.

The author has something to say:

Well, after the first round of exams, I slowly coded this chapter when I came back.

It feels like it has reached 12 words, but it should be finished within 40 chapters.Don't worry about the ending.

As soon as I got home, I found the score, and my mood fell to the bottom in an instant. The partial subjects became more and more serious, and the worst part was mathematics.

This chapter actually contains a lot of my emotions, including the depression of not passing the exam, the fear of being speculated secretly with vicious eyes, and the worry about changes... many, many things.

Maruko is facing much more pressure than me... I can't be so depressed anymore, even if I force my face to smile, I have to be as strong as Maruko QAQ

I won’t say too much about the bad things and it will affect everyone’s mood. There are still four exams that will determine the future university. Everyone wish me good luck QUQ

The next update will probably be after the 29th, everyone please wait for me [Waving]
