[Black Basket] Star Trail

"Move a little bit to the right—yes, that's it—"

"Come here, please squeeze again, otherwise there won't be so many people in the camera---"

"That green-haired boy, don't make a bad face, it feels so out of harmony---"

The brown-haired girl in full school uniform brushed the hem of her suit jacket, and glanced at Seijuro Akashi not far away.Sensing the girl's gaze, the other party slowly turned his head, and the smile on the corner of his lips was as clear as a stream of water.Under the sunlight, the boy's golden eyes were as bright as gold melted by high temperature, which made her unable to move her eyes away, and couldn't help but want to move them away.

After the opening ceremony, the first thing is to take class photos.There are five classes of candidates this year, with a huge number of people, and there are people with various hair colors. Kanzawa Norie's brown hair is not eye-catching among the crowd.However, a girl's sense of existence is not entirely based on hair color.

The photographer put his fist to his mouth, carefully inspected the whole class, and then pointed to Kanzawa Norie.

"I'm sorry, that girl with red eyes over there is right..." Seijuro Akashi shifted his eyes to Norie Kanzawa following the words, "Isn't it a little too tall? Please stand over there... ...next to that tall guy with purple hair."

The girl nodded, found a narrow path among the girls next to her, apologized softly, and walked towards the location pointed by the photographer.She was arranged in the most central place, just stuck at the junction of men and women, where the tallest person usually stands, and it would be more pleasing to the eye when taking pictures.

Kanzawa Norie walked past several people, and finally reached Atsushi Murasawa.

The girl is already the tallest girl in the whole class, even so, the height difference between the two is too big.After this transfer, the distance between Kanazawa Norie and Akashi lengthened, and Kanzawa Norisha got closer. Due to the angle, Akashi couldn't see her expression.

At a blind spot that the red-haired boy couldn't see, the girl's smile slightly subsided.

Atsushi Ziyuan glanced at her lazily, and yawned without saying anything.

──The flash lights up.

──This is the end.

During the past holidays, the relationship between the girl and the black-haired boy gradually warmed up.

Although they reconciled a long time ago, there are still thorns in their hearts. To restore the previous relationship requires not only the efforts of the two, but also time to settle everything.

In fact, Kanazawa Jihui also knew that the timing of her reconciliation with Ji Zheng was not a coincidence.

Kanzawa Jizheng knew everything about her, except what she didn't want to tell him.Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, we have come to the final paper of the second year of junior high school. If we don't seize the opportunity, we will miss a lot of things, and this time in junior high school that we can never come back to.Kanzawa Jihui knew that Yushang would reconcile with her before she was promoted to the third year of junior high school. Naturally, there was a reason why she was so sure—she had already foreseen Ji Zheng's choice.

That's why, the other party's attitude at that time was so bad--the words were self-blame, but it didn't necessarily mean that Kanzawa Norie was a little bit blamed.It's just that the occasion is wrong, and I just hide my dissatisfaction in my heart.Since he didn't say it out loud, even if Kanzawa Jihui knew it well, there was no need to care about it.All she wanted was Kanzawa Jizheng's forgiveness.With this, she can ignore the additional damage.

The short hand of the clock on the wall hit eleven.

The brown-haired girl looked absently at the wooden wall of the auditorium, her ponytail was tied high and tight behind her head, giving her a sense of formality.She slowly shifted her gaze to the figure on the podium. The person who is speaking at the moment is this year's freshman representative. The girl's third grade is too far away from the stage, so she can't see the person's face clearly. The appearance does not have any interest.However, the other party's voice sounded through the loudspeaker and spread to every corner of the auditorium. His voice and accent were somewhat similar to Seijuro Akashi's.

The freshman representative's speech was not a very interesting topic, and Norie Kanzawa didn't pay attention to it. The girl was just fascinated by the man's voice unconsciously.

When she first entered school, all she knew about Teiko was that "the men's basketball team is very strong" and "the school uniform looks good".She wasn't the one who chose Teiguang in the first place, Kanazawa Jihui was simply because Ji Zheng chose this school, and it wasn't too far away from home, so she followed suit.Kanzawa Norie didn't pay too much attention to other things, she didn't even have the excitement and anxiety that is unique to entering a new stage, because she knew that Kanzawa Ji was there, and most of the time the two of them could be together, just like Same as the previous 12 years.

Kanzawa Norie doesn't quite remember what happened at the opening ceremony.Even if this is a ceremony that is held every year, Kanzawa Norie has never figured out what the specific process is.However, there is also one thing, and only one thing, which still remains in her memory intact.

When the girl cast her first glance on Akashi Seijuro, the first thing she noticed was neither his face nor his identity, but his hands—the red-haired boy did not have a speech script in his hands.

After all, I am still a half-grown child, and it is common to forget the words when speaking in public, so many people will prepare speeches in case of accidents.But he didn't.

How confident and how calm.

Only then did the girl narrow her eyes and look at the red-haired boy.Akashi stretched out his hand to adjust the direction of the microphone, and his clear voice resounded throughout the auditorium. "Hi everyone, I'm Akashi Seijuro."

People with a calm demeanor always give people the impression that they can be relied on with peace of mind.

Akashi Seijuro is such a person.Even though he was still young at that time, he could already see the stability in the boy's bones in every gesture.That speech was a good example.Every pause between sentences, every micro-expression, and every body language expresses this message very clearly, as if someone is shouting loudly—this person is smart and capable, excellent but not good. To be impolite, he is a person who is truly perfect in every aspect, and he deserves to entrust many things to him, and he must be able to complete everything perfectly──It is this way that makes people unconsciously ignore his actual age, The ability to give a sense of unconditional trust.This is a kind of talent, or the accumulation of years of education, in short, it is a trait that has been honed to blend with the personality itself.

Kanazawa Norie recognized his face.This kind of red like rose and flame is hard to forget.The girl once met him at a tea party of a wealthy family. At that time, her mind was not on the tea party itself, but she just said hello to her parents and the host, and was dragged out by Kanzawa Jizheng to play.

But she still had a little recollection of the faces of those present.Akashi Seijuro was wearing a classic kimono, and followed his father calmly. Judging from his attitude, he was not so much a father and son, but rather a master and a young attendant who looked somewhat similar to him. Hui subconsciously looked at the boy's waist for a moment, wanting to see if he had a knife.The girl turned her head for one last look before walking out of the door. The red-haired boy lowered his head and stared at the hem of his clothes, with a somewhat hollow look on his face.

Kanzawa Jizheng tugged at her sleeve, because making a sound would attract the attention of others, so Kanzawa Jizheng did not dare to speak to her, but urged with his eyes.The girl put on her clogs and walked out of the room, closing the sliding door. Akashi Seijuro raised his head as if feeling something, and looked at the two small figures projected onto the paper door.

Akashi Seijuro felt that something was wrong with the girl these days.

Although she consciously hid her true emotions and smiled as naturally as usual, once she calmed down, Kanzawa Norie's brows and eyes became gloomy, obviously troubled by something.

They have been acquainted for a while, and Akashi is not a person who is not sensitive enough. For him, Kanzawa Norie's mood is something that can be seen at a glance. It is as straightforward as reading a book too Simple books.The reason why Akashi thought this way was not because he couldn't distinguish the girl's emotions.

All that needs to be considered is "whether or not to speak".After all, Kanazawa Norie abides by the rules set for himself and does not interfere with Akashi's behavior and practices on any occasion.Just as Kanzawa Norie believes that Akashi has enough wisdom to get out of trouble, the red-haired boy also believes that girls have the ability to solve problems, and girls will not cling to their pride when they ask for help.It is only a matter of time before the problem is solved.

It is a question whether to follow rationality and not to ask, or to follow sensibility to ask.

It took Akashi a blink of an eye to make this decision.

The red-haired boy put down his chopsticks, "Where's Kamizawa-kun?"

Kanzawa Norie, as if awakened by Akashi's voice -- she often did this recently -- shuddered and sat up slightly, "For a moment, I felt that Akashi-kun was calling me... Ji Zheng? Go to training. "

When he said this, Akashi's eyes were tightly locked on the girl's face, noticing every change in her expression, not even the flicker in her eyes.However, he found nothing, and there was nothing unusual about the girl's expression.

In this way, it is not Kanzawa Jizheng's problem.

Apart from the black-haired boy, Akashi couldn't think of anything else that could bother her so much.

Leaving aside the accidents of her parents, the girl's life has always been smooth. One of the reasons is that she has the ability to deal with troubles. On the other hand, it is because of the support of her brothers, so she is not lacking in spirit.If the root of the trouble didn't come from within the Kanzawa family, it would be almost impossible for the girl to be so troubled.

Akashi Seijuro took a sip from his teacup.

If you ask directly, Kanzawa Norie's answer is predictable "nothing".She is not a person who will take the initiative to share her thoughts with others, as can be seen from her previous experience-when facing the disease, she never even confessed to her brother, let alone Akashi who is an outsider.

Seeing Zhi Yi looking at the girl at the next table, the red-haired boy blinked.Once again, this lost expression appeared.
