[Black Basket] Star Trail

Chapter 20 End of the Period

Akashi Seijuro twirled the ballpoint pen, looked away from the math textbook, and quite naturally landed on the empty seat in front of him.The teacher on the podium was teaching the lecture, and Akashi Seijuro seemed to be still listening intently, but in fact he lost his mind for a moment—this is the lesson that was prepared after the midterm exam, and what should be mastered has been fully understood , Akashi Seijuro is already doing today's homework.If he didn't do this, he would have to take it home. No matter how fast he did it, he couldn't make up for the amount, and the sleep time would inevitably be reduced. After weighing it, Akashi chose this plan.

As soon as I came back from the basketball hall this morning, I heard about Kanzawa Norie asking for leave.

That rumor is still spreading, but it is hard to be convincing because of the lack of evidence. As far as Akashi has seen, not too many people believe it, and generally treat it with the attitude of "just hear it".

She can rest easy now.

According to the teacher in charge, Kanzawa Norie invited from Tuesday to Friday in one go, a full four-day vacation.That way, she can go back to school until the final exams start the following Monday.This request is either too seriously ill or not at all. Judging from the situation of Kanzawa Jizheng, it can be judged that it is the latter.

But that doesn't mean Akashi doesn't care.

On the other side, Kanazawa Norie's life is quite leisurely.

When she was going to school, the cleaning aunt was responsible for walking the dog. Now that she is at home on vacation, it is not wrong to go out for a walk without anyone knowing.Just like at this moment, around 10:30, Kanzawa Norie changed her clothes after eating breakfast, took a small bag, and tied a camera around her neck.After opening the door for her aunt, Kanzawa Norie dragged the golden retriever out of the house.

The sun is the most comfortable at this time. Heart and Kanazawa Norie rarely go out together. At this moment, it is particularly excited, and Kanzawa Norie's strength alone can hardly hold it back. "Hey..."

Kanzawa Norie and Heart set off from their home and went for a walk around the nearest park, and it was over.When she saw a good scene, Kanzawa Norie would stop to take pictures, most of them were pure scenery, and a small part included Heart, but she herself didn't have any.This is a little quirk of hers. She likes photography, but she doesn't like herself to be a part of the photo.

At the end, Kanzawa Norie wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a picture, but found out that he didn't have a mobile phone with him when he touched his trouser pocket. Kanzawa Norie laughed secretly that he was too reckless to go out without a mobile phone.

Well, forget it.

The girl stretched herself on the silent road.

Such a nice weather.

During lunch break.

Akashi Seijuro saw Kanzawa Ji walking outside, so he quickened his pace to catch up with the black-haired boy.The weather started to heat up, and both of them stopped wearing coats. From Akashi Seijuro's angle, he could just see the slightly but not excessive muscles on Kanzawa Norisha's arms.Swimming can indeed standardize a boy's body shape. Those who have been swimming for many years like Kanzawa Norisha usually have a very well-proportioned and beautiful body shape.

Akashi opened his mouth to call the black-haired boy, Kanzawa Jizheng turned his head and glanced at him, greeted lazily, and put away the phone in his hand.Akashi didn't care, and got straight to the point, "Is Kanzawa-san okay?"

Kanazawa Jizheng didn't realize that Akashi was asking the girl instead of him at first, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized, the smile on his face restrained, and he looked at Akashi, "Oh, you ask that guy, she's not too old question."

Kanzawa Jizheng rolled his eyes and continued to talk. "Speaking of...you're the first person to ask me if she's okay. I never thought that Akashi-kun cares about his classmates so much."

Akashi Seijuro remained unmoved in the face of Kanzawa Norisha's overtones. Thanks to the Teiko basketball team being interviewed all year round, he has long practiced the kung fu of not changing his color even before the collapse of a mountain. "Is it?"

"Well, yes." Kanzawa Yuki crossed his arms behind his head, his tone full of joking smiles, "It was really beyond my expectation. Don't worry, she's fine. Resting at home."

When the two reached the ground, Kanzawa Jizheng dropped the last sentence, and then walked away.

"It's better to ask her directly than to ask me, that guy is bored at home."

"Akashi asked me about you"

Received a slightly malicious email from Kanzawa Jizheng, the girl did not live up to his expectations, and choked on the sip of water he just drank.Kanzawa Jihui swallowed the water, patted his chest and coughed for a long time before recovering.She turned on her phone and quickly sent a series of ellipses.There is no reply there, probably in practice.

There are a lot of people on Twitter. Norie Kanzawa hasn't been online since Monday. When it comes to emails, did she specially send an email saying "I'm on sick leave but I'm fine"?If you really want to think about it, she and him are just classmates, unless the other party asks, it is difficult for her to initiate a topic.

In a sense, Kanzawa Jizheng helped her.

The girl lay back on the bed again, and a slightly hoarse female voice came from the earphones, singing an old English song.After thinking about it, she turned on her phone and started writing an email. "Thank you for your condolences"

The basketball team is also practicing. I sent this email just to open the topic. When Akashi will reply and what to reply is not within the scope of Norie Kanzawa's concern.Just after eating the porridge cooked by her aunt, the girl took a nap with her mobile phone in hand. When she woke up again, her lunch break was over.According to Teiko's timetable, the class started for quite a while.There is an unread email in the inbox.

"It's fine"

Even after recuperating for several days, on Sunday, what Kanzawa Norie had calculated still happened, and this time he came on time.Because of the long-term medication, Kanzawa Ji Huiguang felt in pain even when he was lying still, and he did not dare to take painkillers casually, so he could only endure it with all his might.The elder brother went back to work as usual, Kanazawa Yuki was practicing in the school swimming pool, and she was alone at home. The girl was lying on the bed with her golden retriever in her arms, covering her eyes with her backhand to block the light, and Heart stuck out her tongue and licked at her fingertips. He licked it, as if to comfort her.

When Kanzawa Jizheng returned home, what he saw was a half-dead brown-haired girl.

"Are you okay?" The young man reached out to test her temperature, and at first he didn't know what was wrong with her, "Although it seems a bit late...do you want me to call Dr. Qianye over?"

Kanzawa Norie closed her eyes tightly and shook her head, "There's nothing to do about this kind of pain."

Then she opened one eye slightly, looked at Kanzawa Jizheng against the light, and was even in the mood to tease him. "Fortunately, the final exams are ready—well..."

He stopped in the middle of the conversation, Kanzawa Jizheng vaguely understood, and didn't know what to do, so he could only worry about it.Kanzawa Norie waved him away and fell asleep in a dark room.

In this situation, it is impossible to perform normally.

After Kanzawa Norie finished answering the exam paper, the vision in front of her eyes turned white.Even though she slept well, when she got up together this morning, she was still in a daze from the pain. If it weren't for today being the end of the semester, Kanzawa Norie would definitely ask for leave again to rest at home.Before leaving in the morning, she still wanted to pour a cup of coffee from her eldest brother, but in fact, if Kanzawa Jizheng hadn't stopped her, she would have already done so.

Kanzawa Norie didn't expect it to be so serious this time, the discomfort was predictable, but the degree was completely beyond her expectation.The moment she handed in the test papers, Kanzawa Norie knew that she would not be able to win Akashi Seijuro—she always beat him by taking advantage of her in her heyday, and now it is impossible to be his opponent in this state.The only question is how much she lost.

In any case, grades determine everything. She set this goal in front of the grade director, but now she has to break it with her own hands. No one will feel better.Not to mention that the results at the end of this semester are directly related to her plan. The efforts Kanzawa Norie has made up to this moment, as big as the midterm and as small as every quiz, are all wiped out at this moment.

When the girl walked out of the classroom, her expression was very bad.Akashi watched him off all the way, with complicated meanings in his eyes.Kanzawa Jizheng, who was waiting for her to go home together outside the classroom, received Akashi's gaze, showed a narrow smile, and left with the girl.

Of course, Akashi was aware of Kanzawa Norisha's hint.

But whether he was too lazy to clarify or didn't want to clarify, Akashi Seijuro didn't know.There is no doubt that Kanzawa Norie has surpassed his definition of a classmate, but are the two considered friends?

Calculate?Obviously, the two of them seldom contact in private, and the exchange of pleasantries at the beginning of a sentence cannot be counted as a conversation between friends, let alone Akashi, and Kanzawa Norie doesn't talk much in front of strangers, and there are few points of intersection between them. There is no common topic at all.If I insist, Akashi and Momoi have more contacts than Kanzawa Norie.

Doesn't count?Although there was little contact between the two of them, they could feel the spark inside.Akashi is keen enough to let him notice that there are differences between the two of them, just like when he stood up, Kamizawa Norie would subconsciously dodge. move away.If it is really insensitive, the movement of the eyes is completely redundant, and it is still a polite expression to maintain eye contact properly.Although Kanzawa Norie never said it clearly, her attitude was clear enough in Akashi's eyes.

So there is only one remaining question: what does he want?

On the day the final exam results were announced, Akashi and Midorima went to see the results together.

Akashi saw Kanazawa Norie from a distance, she can't be said to be tall, but she can always make others notice her at a glance.The brown-haired girl and Kanzawa Yuki were standing side by side, looking up at the form, their faces still a little pale.

Kanzawa Jizheng patted her on the shoulder, seeming to comfort her gently.

At that moment, Akashi knew the result.

"It seems that I will spend two more semesters in the second year of junior high school." Kanzawa Norie sighed to the boy beside him. Kanzawa Norisha looked like he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and the girl turned her head white With a glance at him, Akashi and his party had come to the side at this time.Kanzawa Norie nodded towards Akashi, losing with grace.

"Congratulations." She pointed to the form, "No.1."

- Their names are contiguous on the form, like every time before, never separated.Akashi spread his lips and smiled, his voice was a little crystal-like transparent, "Thank you."
