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

"Jolly."

Someone is calling him.

Ushishima Ruori recovered his senses and looked at his mother across the long table.

She put down her chopsticks and gently wiped the almost non-existent oil stains on her lips with a paper towel, "Have you encountered anything at school? Do you have to think about it at the dining table?"

The voice was cold and distant.

Even though she always wears old-fashioned dark furisode, few people would connect her appearance with being the mother of a high school student.

"It's nothing." Ushishima Ruori put down the bowl and chopsticks, staring down at the light-colored clear soup in the bowl and the neatly cut tofu sinking in the bottom of the bowl, "It's not a big deal."

She hummed lightly, and then asked, "How are the clubs in the high school adapting?"

It's obviously a routine concern, but this kind of dialogue between the mother and child always gives people the illusion that both parties are in a routine.

"Some of the members who transferred due to family reasons failed to go directly to Shiratorizawa. The newly joined members are on the right track very quickly, and they are all training according to the policy of Mr. Ganju. Generally speaking, it is not bad. smoothly."

It's almost like the company's quarterly summary meeting statement.

And besides "um", "okay" and "got it", what else can I respond to?

Ushido Baihui'an clasped her hands on her knees, just as she was about to end this depressing conversation by getting up and leaving, she rarely needed to worry about it, and at the same time rarely communicated with her suddenly. shouted to stop her.

"Mother."

She paused at her back, and turned around slowly after a while, "Is there anything else?"

"I want to ask a question." Ushishima Waka looked at her with the same brown eyes as hers.

Momoe Ushishima nodded, and took out a chair next to Ruori Ushishima and sat down, "What do you want to ask?"

"Why did you marry your father in the first place?"

Why did the kid suddenly ask this?Niu Dao Baihui's complexion did not change, but endless reveries spread out in her heart.

Is it in love?Is there someone you like?

But if you want to ask why a young lady from a family would marry a volleyball player who can't name her name and retired due to injury, of course it is because of love.

Even if it is impulsive, naive, ridiculous in the eyes of others, a relationship that has never been blessed and favored by parents.

But what finally brought them together holding hands was indeed a love that sounded empty and full of uncertainty.

"Because I love your father very much, and he loves me very much." So I have you.

She looked at her child, the alienation and indifference between her eyebrows and eyes faded away, revealing the softness and love that belonged to a mother.

"But you are divorced." Ushishima Ruori straightforwardly led this conversation to an unpleasant conclusion. Love should be a more stable relationship than liking.It is always more precipitated and profound in the works of countless writers.

If love can't tie two people together, then what's the point of liking?

"Why do you want a divorce?" Ushishima Ruori asked, maybe he didn't even notice the difference between "why" and "why".The latter obviously made his question sound more like that of a child who resents the separation of his parents.

Even though he acts calm and doesn't seem to enjoy anything, he's still a 16-year-old.

"Father, he just wants to go abroad to seek his own development—"

"But I hope he can stay by my side!"

Ushijima Wakari was interrupted, just like every ordinary mother and child pair. When irreconcilable conflicts arise, their conversations will always be terminated by the older party with a strong attitude.

Perhaps realizing that her tone was too harsh, the single mother forced herself to relax her straight back and tensed shoulders, "Joly, what you can learn and see now is too little. .....

"I don't want to excuse myself, but as a wife... I can't let your father leave me and go to another continent to pursue his ideals. I know it's selfish, and I don't want to Doubt the relationship between us, but..."

Yes, there is nothing wrong with thinking like this.

Ushishima Ruori looked at her mother quietly, her expression became a little pale and dignified because of this topic.

In the end she just shook her head.Rarely, she stretched out her hand to touch her child's face.Children always grow up inadvertently. Before she knew it, there might have been a cute little girl who had taken root in his heart.

"Some people will unconditionally support your dreams, but some people may be with you just because they want to be with you and want to see you as soon as they go home.

"Maybe you feel that you are too far away from things like marriage and love, but my mother hopes that you can become a responsible person. Don't rashly think that it's just love anyway, and it doesn't matter if you have fun.

"Before committing to a relationship, at least think about what you want and what the other person wants.

"Okay?"

Ushishima Ruori heard himself say "yes", and then his mother left the restaurant, leaving him sitting alone, staring at the bowl of soup that was no longer warm.

He remembered what Tian Tongjue had said to him on the way home.

The Shiratorizawa volleyball club seems to be full of a group of stunned teenagers who sigh at the word love and no one dares to come forward to ask about it, but the reason why Tendo Jue, who is Ushishima Wakari's temporary emotional consultant, has his own advantages is also Thanks to the earth-shattering love story of his paternal sister.

"When she broke up with her first boyfriend, she almost cried the roof of the house down." Tian Tongjue pursed his lips exaggeratedly.

"Will you be so sad?" Ushishima Ruori asked.

"That's right. Girls' panic because of a broken relationship is almost at the same level as the sky falling."

"Then why did they break up?"

"Because the two are in different places." Tian Tongjue shrugged, "The man found someone he liked better in another place. My sister kicked him after she found out that something was wrong. Although the loss was stopped in time, she still cried like hell."

Ushishima Ruori: "Is it okay to tell me these things?"

Tian Tongjue waved his hand: "It's okay, she wished that everyone in Miyagi Prefecture would know that the person who dumped her was a scumbag, so that he would be ashamed to come back."

Ushishima Ruori: "..."

"However, this incident must have cast a shadow on her later." Tian Tongjue pulled out her ticket and threw it into the gate at the station entrance, "She basically only looks for boyfriends who are close to her now—geography In terms of space, it is best not to be more than 100 meters away from her."

Ushishima Ruori couldn't understand: "I don't want to offend, but don't you have your own life?"

"Ah, it doesn't matter, she even defended her point of view on purpose." Tian Tongjue's tone was brisk, and his voice was sharpened, as if imitating his sister's tone of voice, "'Is there anything wrong with wanting to be in a stable and secure relationship! Girls are creatures who easily feel insecure!'—Although the words are very unreasonable, it seems that many couples break up because of this reason."

…………

As soon as Oikawa Toru and Iwaizumi finished their training and went home, they happened to meet Saitsurusheng who was holding a big cardboard box on the way.

There was something inside, and it didn't look heavy, but the box was in the way, making her movements sluggish, walking unsteadily in front, and she didn't have the willingness to look back when they heard their footsteps.

Oikawa slowed down on purpose - he didn't want to be a porter.Yanquan glanced at him, greeted him from behind, took the box in Sui Tsurusheng's arms, and asked Sui Tsurusheng what he had for breakfast this morning and what he had for lunch, but he didn't ask her what was in the box. It was extremely uncomfortable, like a claw scratching.

In the end, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity, bent his index finger and knocked on the lid of the box and asked, "What is this? It's very quiet."

"Why are you asking so much? You won't help me get it." Iwaizumi gagged him with his lazy behavior just now.

"Isn't there our most reliable Xiaoyan here?" Oi Chuanche said righteously, and he would praise people the most when he was lazy.

Zui Hesheng did as he wished, and lifted the lid to reveal the contents inside, "Look for yourself."

It is a water-blue bathrobe with kumquat and crimson goldfish swimming on it. The belt is pinkish white. As an accessory, it is a Date fan and a paper balloon as a gift.

The breath of summer.

"Auntie bought you a new one?"

Zui Tsurusheng nodded: "Well, the previous one is already small."

The Kiyase family is not a very rich family, kimono is the most expensive thing in Tsutsuru's closet, but it was only in the past two years that Kiyose Rie bought it for her when she was not too tall.

Relatively cheap bathrobes will be replaced with a new set every two or three years.

And the last time Kiyose Saitsuruu went to the summer festival with such full armor was probably the summer vacation when he just entered junior high school.

How could Oi Chuanche not know such obvious intentions.

He pursed his lips and said critically: "This color is so bright, aren't you afraid that you will turn into coal balls when you put it on?"

"Is there?" Zui Hesheng hesitated for a moment, then raised his head to look at Yan Quanyi, and carefully asked for confirmation, "Xiao Yan, am I very dark..."

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Iwaizumi stretched out his leg and kicked Chuanche in the direction, forcing him to take a step far away.

Oi Chuanche turned around, stuck out his tongue at them, made a face, and walked in front of them swaggeringly.

Ignoring his mischief, Iwaizumi turned his head and asked Saitsuru: "Are you really thinking about it?"

Iwaizumi didn't know how much courage the girl had to take to take the initiative, but he didn't think it should be.

At least in his imagination, the last one should be the one who will be confessed and pursued.

Saitsuru nodded, and said to Iwaizumi in a reassuring way: "It's decided. No matter what the answer is, I will accept it."

"But I think if Niu Ruo refuses you, that guy will definitely beat him up." He lowered his voice, because he had no time to make a move, he just took his chin and clicked on the back of Oi Chuanche who was walking in front of them.

This is also telling Zui Hesheng that you can confess as you please, he still cares, but he will not be angry about who she likes anymore.

"At that time, you remember to hold him," Zui Hesheng laughed, "otherwise it will be miserable to be suspended."
