About me getting up at 04:30 every day for the basketball and volleyball club

In the cold February, the front line of cherry blossoms and the gradually warming temperature are still lingering in the south. If a taller must be pulled out of the dwarf, then Tokyo is indeed a little warmer than Sendai, where the wind is like a knife.

When Hesheng woke up this morning, it was still gray outside.

It wasn't the alarm clock that woke her up, but the sound of the balcony door being pulled shut.

Since about half a year ago, the sliding rail of this glass door has been stuck from time to time.In the end, Hesheng speculated that there might be rust somewhere, but she always felt that it was a bit of a fuss to call someone to come to the door to fix it. The main reason is that there is no other bad thing about this door except when it is opened and closed.

But that was only when she lived alone.

But today is different.

"Oh... did I disturb you?" The person who walked in from the balcony walked to the most awkward bed, with a trace of chill on her body, she reached out and touched the most awkward hair, "Do you want to sleep again?" Yes? Mom will call you in five minutes, okay?"

Zui Hesheng shook his head carelessly, and asked softly, "What time is it?"

"It's still early, it's only 57:[-]." Rie Kiyose put the clothes that she took out of the closet in advance last night on the bedside of Zuo Hesheng, and looked at her gradually clear eyes, "Really don't sleep for a while ?”

"Yeah." Zui Hesheng sat up hugging the quilt, without any intention of staying in bed, "Anyway, the alarm clock will go off in three minutes."

She usually wakes up at this time, and it doesn't matter if she sleeps 3 minutes more or sleeps 3 minutes less.

"Okay." Kiyose Rie nodded and asked again, "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Ask brother." Zui Hesheng sat under the quilt and changed clothes, his bare skin touched the early spring air, but he couldn't help shivering, "I can do it."

"Then Hui Er will ask you again, he can eat anything."

"Then ask other people." After buttoning up his shirt, Zui Hesheng picked up the sweater and put it on his body, his messy hair was charged with static electricity and floated up. "Everyone in Zhuqingzhuang hates picky eaters."

Especially those who are at the same level as Hui Er.

Back then, Hui Er's cooking was so unpalatable, but in order to save money, they still survived.

It happened to be seven o'clock in the morning when the mother and daughter went out to buy vegetables in Shitacho, and then arrived at Zhuqingzhuang.

It happened that Kurohara, who came back from a morning jog and walked his dog, met them at the gate of the yard, stopped slowly, and bowed to Kiyose Rihui: "Good morning, Auntie."

Then he looked at the little girl standing beside the lady: "The oldest is the earliest."

Nila followed bark to say hello, flicking her tail like a small electric fan.

"Hello, Azaru-senpai." Zui Tsurusheng knelt down and touched Nila's elastic ears, and the silly dog ​​immediately rushed up to rub her cheek with its nose affectionately.

"Nila, your nose is so cold." Zui Hesheng held its round dog's head and rubbed it violently.

"It doesn't want to wear clothes." Cang Yuanzou scratched his head and began to explain guiltily, "Second Brother Hui brought him a jacket before going out, and it immediately rolled on the ground and collapsed..."

"Ah, I didn't mean to blame Hashiro-senpai." Saitsuru also explained, "It's all Nira's fault. It also caught a cold last winter, and kept sneezing, which made Senior Niko unable to sleep."

Nila's log cabin was the closest to Senior Nigu's room, and he had a cold and lay down in the cabin to rest. Naturally, Senior Nila was the first to bear the brunt.

Kurohara nodded and said "Oh" after listening.

The topic that could have been continued was just so abruptly chattered to death by him.

Kiyose Rie tugged on Saitsuru's back collar, motioned her to stand up, and while shaking the plastic bag full of vegetables in her hand, asked Kurahara Sasuke, "Does Kakuro like sweet or salty tamagoyaki? Make two flavors today, whichever side has more people will make more."

"Sweet." Zang Yuan is not picky, but if you can say it, it will definitely make people feel troubled, "Auntie, let me get it for you."

"No, no, no, how heavy is this thing?" Kiyose Lihui waved his hand, "Stop standing in the air when you're sweating, and go in quickly. I'll trouble you later to ask other people what flavor they like to eat, There is no need for Hui Er, he is easy to raise, I can eat anything..."

The gentle and delicate nagging is indeed something that can only be heard from the mother.

But the mother of the Tibetan original family is more reticent.

Zangyuan walked and tied Nila to the door where the shoes were changed, and followed the mother and daughter into the house.

Kansei University started its spring break last week, but Zhuqingzhuang, which is already full of ten people, is not much deserted.

Just now—well, I can’t actually say "just now", after all, it was more than a month ago, but for those who spent a long year preparing, Hakone Ekiden’s somatosensory time has indeed passed soon.

The side effect of running dozens of kilometers in the form of a relay in the light snow of the New Year and turning a year's hard work into results is that all ten people in Zhuqingzhuang have become resident birds who have homes and don't want to go back, or can't go back.

On the third day of the new year, Hui Er's legs were completely crippled by him.

At first, everyone thought that he would be the most emotional Tsukura student, but instead he calmly accepted the doctor's diagnosis and treatment results, and sat beside Haiji's bed with a blank expression, watching over him for an entire afternoon, until his parents came back from Miyagi Catch up on sleep in your own apartment.

At that time, it was only one week before she took the national unified examination, and less than two months before she took the personal ability test of Kyoto University.

No one knew whether Zui Hesheng knew about Hui Er's willful decision in advance, and no one knew whether Hui Er's stubbornness to run away even if she was smashed to pieces affected her mood before the test, because she didn't wait for Zhu Qingzhuang. If everyone shows worried looks towards her, she will immediately comfort them in turn, saying that she is okay, and that the exam preparations have been sufficient up to now.

Her tone was quite calm when she said this.Iwakura Yukihiko, who had the most contact with her in the past and also knew her best besides Haiji, reassured everyone.

"Other girls know very well in their hearts, so they don't look like you bunch of scumbags who are jumping around on the verge of failing every day!" He said, while slapping the back of the head of Jotaro Jojiro, who was worrying about nothing.

The twins, who were freshmen with Kurohara, immediately put on a bitter face and sued Iwakura Yukihiko.

"We are only concerned about the future elementary school girls!"

"Why do you have to be scolded even when you care about people! Is there any reason for this?"

They sang in unison, which made people's brain hurt.

So Iwakura Yukihiko slapped them again, and the world was quiet again.

Sue Tsuruo submitted an application for resignation after the winter break of her sophomore year. She made this very important decision for herself at the time during the summer national competition when the Otokoma volleyball team was still absent.

This means that what she has been sticking to and trying to find the best of both worlds finally ushered in the separation from her by "giving up".

"It's all because of my incompetence." She apologized to everyone in the department. "I don't want to make excuses for myself. After thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that my own affairs are more important."

"I'm sorry." When she lowered her head, she didn't intend to get tolerance and understanding.

This is also an act of desertion.

If people hated her for it, it was understandable.

In the end, Hesheng prepared himself psychologically, but what he waited for was: "That's really great."

Without any malice or mockery.

"what?"

"Huh what?" Heiwei Tielang covered his heart in pain, "You don't think we're going to blame you for this kind of thing, do you?"

"no……"

"Liar! You must have thought about it! The assumption of 'this group of people will hate me'!" Yejiu Weifu saw through her at a glance, "It's because Kiyase always cares about other people's feelings that it's not easy to be happy!"

"...It's not that unhappy..." Zui Hesheng wringed her fingers guiltily. Since the qualifiers, she hasn't put much thought into club activities.

That's a pretty serious disqualification for a manager.

"But you're not very happy, are you?" Huiba Lefu jumped out to testify, "Didn't the last time, senior Tsurusheng, be delayed because of his studies and be on the street...?!"

Hai Xinxing and Fuyong Zhaoping dragged the unrestrained brat while covering their mouths.

Zuo Hesheng almost buried his head in the ground when he heard the words.

Heiwei Tielang winked at them quickly, and Haixinxing and Fuyong Zhaoping quickly dragged Huiba Lefu back.

"No! I didn't mean that, Senior Tsurusheng!" The boy nearly two meters tall explained to her helplessly, "I mean...I mean everyone knows that studying is more important to you...so you It's normal not to take care of us... Wait?! Why are your eyes red, Senior Tsurusheng?! I really don't mean to blame you!"

"It's just getting darker and darker!" Ye Jiu Weifu supported his aching head, "Sure enough, drag this guy down!"

"At this time, I should grind you!" Heiwei Tielang said nothing, and pushed out the lonely claw who had been standing by the side silently watching them.

At such moments, Lone Claw Grind's expression would usually become quite exciting and rich, but it was surprising that he didn't have one today.

Lone Claw Grind hates trouble.

I hate taking orders even more.

The ancients said: When the sky is about to send a great mission to the people, they must first work hard on their minds and minds, and work hard on their muscles and bones.

But Lone Claw Grind never saw suffering as meaningful.

These setbacks that will appear in life can't actually make people better-at least not everyone.

Grinding the Lone Claw was convinced he wasn't in the ranks, and Zuo Hesheng wasn't supposed to be either.

Because even if she has not experienced suffering, she is kind, good enough, and understands and comforts the unspeakable suffering and pain of others.

"Zui Hesheng." He looked at the girl in front of him, and his tone was as calm and cold as ever, "The volleyball club can continue to operate even without Zui Hesheng. Su Hesheng actually knows it, right?"

Even if it is true, it is a bit hurtful.

Tiger Yamamoto immediately burst into flames: "Hey! Lone Claw! What do you mean by that?!"

"literal meaning."

"You bastard—!"

"Listen to me! But——!" Lone Claw Grinding loudly interrupted Tiger Yamamoto's accountability.

It was rare for him to make such a high-pitched voice.

After all, he is a guy who finds it troublesome to take two extra steps. Yelling and yelling can easily cause brain hypoxia.

"But..." His voice suddenly dropped again, "The next year and a half will be one of the most important occasions in your life."

"In the end, no matter whether it's an exam or a review, the only one who can do these things is yourself.

"Bring the sword with the highest attack power, carry the shield with the highest defense power on your back, eat the most experience, and maximize the character level. You have already walked in front of the boss at the end of the game, haven't you?

"If Ah Hei asked me to go out to play volleyball at this time, I would definitely hate him to death-I'm not kidding, you know."

He smiled at his friend.

Small and clear.

"So go."

To be your own hero.

To realize your dreams.

"By the way, take this with you." Black-tailed Tielang quickly approached, and handed a small golden thing to Zui Hesheng.

On it is written "Kinryu Mountain Asakusa Temple Academic Guardian".

"Everyone went to beg for you during the New Year. Wooden Rabbit and Chiwei also went." He scratched his sleepy hair, "Although Mo Mo said that your family must have begged for you, but this Planting too many things is not too much. One more guardian might take care of you even more from Lord Tenjin."

If this is the case, the last crane student will probably be taken care of by the god who is in charge of academic fortune for five minutes.

Because she has five academic guardians.

They were her parents and relatives, the residents of Zhuqingzhuang, the Miracle Generations of Teiko, everyone in the volleyball club, and Iwaizumi and Majoko who was still in the process of drafting at the time, begged for her.

Such a number seems to be really too much.

"Most Crane, what are you thinking? You're so preoccupied."

Kiyose Haiji's voice pulled her out of her memories.

The former long-distance runner leaning on crutches was standing at the door of the integrated kitchen and dining room in Zhuqingzhuang, with his head poking in between two dark blue curtains.

Sakaguchi Yohei, who was sitting at the end of the long table, immediately got up and walked over to help him, but Hui Er didn't refuse his kindness, and shifted his focus graciously.

"I'm going to take the exam soon, are you nervous?"

The personal ability test for admission to Kyoto University starts tomorrow.

Students from other places have to arrive at least one day in advance for rectification.

Hui Er leaned against his chair with his crutch, with a flattering smile on his face.

This kind of humbleness and prudence started from the day Haiji finished running Hakone Ekiden. Everyone was not surprised, and even felt that Haiji had to do this for granted.

Who made him mess up like this.

"I'm not nervous." She wiped away the most awkward smile on the corners of her mouth, and the corners of her mouth tightened a bit.But only for a moment.

In the next second, she returned to that docile and cute look—everyone guessed that her recent irritability was also due to Hui Er. In the end, He Sheng probably wanted to be angry with him all the time, but was persuading himself not to follow him. In this way, people who have made up their minds from the beginning will be angry.

The doctor said that Hui Er could no longer run.

Zuo Hesheng relayed the words to Hui Er exactly, but the man didn't even show a trace of regret.

His determination is impeccable.

Hui Er is simply a peerless genius when it comes to making people feel that their long talks with him have come to naught.

And even Kiyose Rie and Kiyose Masomi were not angry at Haiji's waywardness, and in the end Tsurusheng felt that he should be more tolerant and understanding.Because no matter what, Hui Er must realize his dream.

Rather than being mad at his stubbornness, it's better to simply accept that he is such a horny person.

"Okay, don't talk to your brother." Kiyase Rie distributed the salty and sweet egg rolls to others, and finally put the remaining two sweet ones on the plates of Motsuru and Haiji Li, "You, Hui Er, too, don't keep teasing your sister."

"Oh, I accidentally..." Hui Er shrugged with a smile, "Anyway, the best student won't fail the exam just because of my two sentences, right?"

of course not.

With a wrinkled face, she lightly kicked Hui Er's uninjured leg under the table.

Hui Er immediately yelped in pain, he was so frightened that he almost thought it was his injured leg that was kicked, and almost lost his soul.

"You're kidding."

Hui Er let go of the "I'm crying, I'm pretending" expression, stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's soft cheek: "The expression is too serious, the most embarrassing."

Sure enough, you're still nervous, right?

After all, her life so far has been all about preparing for the upcoming exam.

"But having said that, what do you most want to do after being admitted to Peking University?"

Iwakura Yukihiko couldn't help being curious and asked a question.

Zuo Hesheng's expression was blank for a moment: "...I didn't think about it."

In the beginning, I just wanted to be like my mother.

It's a blind wish.

Is such a wish really good?

In fact, I have thought about it the last time.

But if you don't pass the exam to Beijing University, you won't know about this kind of thing, right?

Just like if she hadn't confessed to Ushijima Wakari, she would not have known that her first love would have died in silence, and she would even continue to foolishly dream of replicating the love and marriage of her parents who passed the test with their lives.

Not to mention that he would not be full of vigilance towards Gong Yoo because he absorbed too much uneasiness from it.

That person has confessed to her three times so far.

Once in the typhoon day when she passed out, once in Kyoto, and the third time was in the lobby of Yoyogi Gymnasium, shouting "next time will be sure" to the ceiling.

As for the fourth time - it is a pity that Gong Yoo still failed to win the national championship this year.

So up to now, the grand and solemn fourth confession that Gong Yoo imagined has not been able to find a chance to appear on the stage.

Thinking of this, Zuo Hesheng felt a little happier.

Although I am very sorry for Gong Yoo, but she found that if people want to be happy, it is indeed a very quick way to watch someone deflate.

There is still a long way for Gong Yoo to become her real boyfriend.

This is not because she wants to hang Gong Yoo.

The one who vowed to confess to her only after winning the championship was himself.

Up to now, because he didn't win the championship, he didn't have the face to confess to her, which can be regarded as the result of shooting himself in the foot.

"If it wasn't for recuperating, I would really like to drive you there."

Standing at the gate of Zhuqingzhuang, Huiji, with Yukihiko Iwakura's shoulders on his shoulders, saw off the little girl who broke into her own world one day 18 years ago.

"With that time, you might as well think about how to write your graduation thesis."

Rie Kiyase has seen her son's driving skills, and it seems that it is not bad enough to describe.

Dr. Kiyose Rie's words obviously hit the sore spots of more than one college student present, and many of them showed expressions of stomach pain.

But despite the stomachache, they still sent their blessings before they left.

"The plenum of the exam!"

"Meng is absolutely right!"

"The answer sheet must be aligned before repainting!"

"Remember to keep the baby warm inside the jacket. The heating in the classroom where we took the exam broke down last time, and it was so cold that your hands were shivering!"

"Hey, hey, are you a blessing? Crow's mouth!"

"It's a valuable experience! It's always right to be prepared!"

"As long as you play normally, you'll be fine." Yukihiko Iwakura, who often took Tsutsuru to the library, touched her fluffy head, "I'll just wait for you to take me to the library of Peking University. "

"Hui Er, didn't you want to say anything?"

"Me? Well... it seems that there really isn't one."

"No, are you too heartless?"

"Uh, then - Zui Hesheng." Hui Er waved at her, Zui Hesheng turned his face away like a sunflower facing the sun.

"It doesn't matter if you fail the exam! Don't believe the nonsense your mother said! No matter what happens, my brother will take care of you for the rest of my life!"

Kiyase Rie couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "What the hell did I say?"

"Didn't you say before that I am me, and the best is the best. Although we are brothers and sisters, it is impossible for my brother to take care of her for the rest of my life!"

"Ah... Speaking of which, it seems to be true..."

"So!" Hui Er became excited, and slapped Iwakura Yukihiko hard on the shoulder, causing him to yell out in pain, "No way! Did you hear that! Big brother will always be big brother! You didn't pass the exam Also your brother!"

Hui Er's words still ring in his ears.

If Rie Kiyose hadn't reminded him, Tsurusheng would not have realized that he was almost walking past the waiting platform.

"Are you sure you don't want your mother to go with you?" She hadn't completely let go of her heart, but Zuo Hesheng brought it up again.

Zui Hesheng shook his head firmly: "It's really really unnecessary."

"Okay. Since you're so persistent—the friend who said he was going to pick you up at Kyoto Station shouldn't be late, right?"

"probably not."

"Take good care of yourself."

"Ok!"

"Don't be too nervous, and don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?"

"Okay."

"Want a hug?"

Finally Hesheng threw himself into her arms and rubbed against her like a small animal.

Kiyose Rie's car came first.

The mother who asked for leave from the editorial department and came to Tokyo to take care of her wayward eldest son for half a month finally made her way home.

In the end, Tsurusheng waited at the station for another half an hour before waiting for his Shinkansen.

During this period, she touched as many as five academic guards hanging on the zipper of her schoolbag, looked up at the electronic timetable on the LED screen, and lowered her head in [Did Kawache get beaten today] [Today we strategy] Chatting in the big library].

Oi Chuanche decided to go abroad before graduation last year, and did not come back this year for Chinese New Year.

When Iwaizumi and Majoko went to beg for Omoru, they put Oikawa Toru's photo beside them, pretending that the three of them went to beg together.

Iwaizumi also asked passers-by to take photos for them.

When Oi Chuanche saw it, he immediately shouted: "This is too unlucky! Xiaoyan, why don't you just hold my black and white photo and visit the shrine!"

Zuzuru was sure that at that moment, Kazui Iwaizumi absolutely had the idea of ​​buying a plane ticket to beat Oikawa Toru.

In all fairness, Oikawa Toru's choice surprised Tsutsuru.

But more of a sadness than surprise.

Everyone has grown up.

Ever since she decided to leave Miyagi and come to Tokyo, this separation has become an inevitable foregone conclusion.

Zuo Hesheng quietly wiped away his tears.

Oi Chuanche, who was separated by the network cable, sent out a message as if she had installed a surveillance camera at her house: Zuhesheng, you are not crying, are you?

I do not have.

she replied.

Oh~ You haven't responded to messages for so long, I thought you couldn't bear to cry, Mr. Oikawa.

Even if it was just words, she could still imagine the proud look on the faces of her friends who couldn't talk face to face.

Then she realizes that everyone never left.

As long as someone is waiting for them to come back, they will definitely come back.

Finally, Hesheng laughed again.

Over there in the big library.

Kirihara Chi also said that he felt more nervous about going to the exam than he himself.

Nioh Masaharu made a big smile and said, there is no need, after all Kirihara Akashi is already in high school, if he doesn't do well in the exam, Yanagi Renji and Sanada Genichiro will directly kill and block people at the door of the first grade classroom.

What's even more frightening is that Yukimura will personally watch him do his homework.

Kirihara Chi also said that it was like a dream to go back to junior high school.

Nightmare kind of dream.

Narimiya Ming and Miyuki were also signed away by the baseball club early, and they did not experience the tension and excitement of the college entrance examination, but they can understand the most important enemy for the time being.

Anyway, refueling is right.

So the two of them were machines that could only say cheers for a while, and then they returned to training.

It's just club training.

Therefore, these are two new professional baseball players with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, who took time out of their busy schedules to send her blessings.

Miyukiichi was even favored by the team managers and coaches, so he was assigned to be the main pick for next week's game.

This made Cheng Gongming very unhappy, but soon he found a way to balance his rhetoric: "The protagonist always appears last."

Compared with speaking in the group, Lonely Claw Grinding is more used to chatting with Zu Hesheng Xiao Chuang.

The main reason is that when he is free to chat, he is also free to play games, and since he cannot have both, Lone Claw Grinding will undoubtedly choose the former.

Occasionally, he can't keep up with the topics in the group - not just the big library, but also the group of the volleyball club, and he can't keep up.

Heiwei Tielang and the others are already college students, and they have much more leisure time than a few high school seniors, but they don't chat in the group all the time.

Time and distance have scattered everyone, each has new friends and classmates, and the frequency of communication is inevitably reduced.But Zui Hesheng didn't feel lonely, because she believed that no one would forget her.

Before getting on the train, Tsurusheng bought a very cute station bento, but she didn't want to eat it when she got on the train.The bento is cold, and the not-so-glass glass stomach does not allow her to eat things that are almost frozen into ice cubes in this cold weather.

The bento was carried out of the car by her.Then she was seen by Gong Yoo who came to pick her up.

"Didn't you eat anything???" He had a disbelieving expression on his face, and subconsciously began to get angry, "Are you made of steel or iron? You don't need to eat? Huh?"

In the end, Hesheng was not angry, her nose was blown red by the wind when she got out of the car, she kept shrinking into the scarf, and said falteringly: "Because I think you can take me to eat something more delicious after getting off the car. "

"It's useless to say good things, let me tell you!" He clicked heavily, stared at the exposed half of Zuo Hesheng's face for a while, then took off his scarf, and wrapped it around Zuo Hesheng again , covering almost her entire head.

"Okay, let's go."

You don't need to look to know, Gong Yoo must have nodded in satisfaction when he said this.

"But I can't see the way..." Zui Hesheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Then you pull me." Gong You's voice had a bit of a malicious smile, "Ah, it's really cheap for you, to be able to hold the hands of the first and second passers for free."

"...Then do I have to say thank you again?"

"It's not impossible if you insist."

"Forget it then, I'm afraid of losing my life."

"..."

Zui Hesheng turned down the scarf covering her eyes a little, and just after a short while, the hot breath had condensed fine drops of water on her eyelashes, sticking her distinct eyelashes into pieces.

She rubbed the corners of her eyes, and saw Gong Yoo standing in front of her with her mouth curled up and her eyes half-closed, like an oversized unhappy one.

Zui Hesheng pushed the suitcase and took two steps, and turned around to find that he was still standing where he was.

"Yo?"

"..."

"Yo."

"..."

"Yo."

"..."

Gong Yoo followed her with a sullen face, this time he didn't ask any more questions, nor did he stop talking trash, he stretched out his hand straight over, and took Zuo Tsurusheng's hand on the luggage handle.

The boy's palm was dry and warm.

He muttered, but did not deliberately lower the volume: "I got up at 04:30 today."

"I woke up so early... I told you not to come pick me up." Zui Hesheng dragged Gong You backwards, not letting him take a big step, and walked slowly, "I'm not a native of Kyoto."

"I'm sorry I'm not from Kyoto!"

"It means I want you to sleep a little longer."

"……Oh."

"But 04:30 is too early. It's hard work."

"You haven't woken up at 04:30 in the morning for two or three years."

"That's right." Zui Hesheng teased lightly, as if he were a bystander, "So now that I think about it, I always feel that I was amazing at that time."

Gong You, who was walking a little ahead, suddenly stopped: "...It's just amazing."

The winter wind was very noisy, and it blew his words into fragments, so He Sheng raised his head and looked at him: "What did you say?"

"It's just amazing!"

Gong Yoo turned his head and stared at her, his face flushed a little, as anxious and sincere as if he was trying to prove something.

"You are the whole world! The most amazing Kiyose Saitsuru!"
