[Black Basket] Never expected

What, what should I do? !

Calm down and find the time machine!

But Ryota's actions always seem to be faster than my reaction.Before I could get out of bed, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.As if to match my complicated emotions at the moment, the towel around my curly hair suddenly came loose, and my face was covered with long wet and messy hair.

I sat there blankly, fortunately my hair covered my eyes, I didn't see Ryota tentatively pushing the door open after I didn't respond, and when he saw my shape through the crack of the door, at that moment his face What exactly is that expression.

Anyway, neither of us spoke for the next ten seconds.

I think he was probably frightened.

I got up and put on my shoes and went to the dressing table to fix the messy hair with a headband. The girl in the mirror looked really explosive.

I didn't turn back directly, but from the picture reflected in the mirror, I saw Ryota's big man who was almost as tall as the door standing at the door and staring at my back with complicated eyes.When he found me looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.

It seems that the ears on the top of the head have also drooped down, listless.

A small arrow pierced the girl's soft heart with the sound of "PIU".

From my own standpoint, although I was a little sad to be rejected before, but then I considered that the root cause of the current situation is actually caused by the so-called "failed relationship", and I can be regarded as the root cause of such consequences. Looking at his pitiful appearance, he suddenly lost all work.

And he doesn't look like he's here to break up.

If it's an apology - take this opportunity, I should also make a serious confession in person.

Thinking of this, I realized that I was the older party so I should first express my sincerity, I opened the drawer and took out the eye mask with built-in cold water bag and waved to him.The model didn't hold back at all, and ran over in a hurry.

Sitting there is a little height difference between me and him, and my neck hurts after looking up for a long time, I stood up and handed the blindfold to him, "Hey, wearing it while sleeping should not cause severe swelling tomorrow."

The eye mask is pink with a cartoon pattern on it.

I could actually see him hesitate as he held out his hand.

I swear if he dares to laugh at me, I will kick his ass.

but none.He took it without saying a word, and at the same time took out the small cardboard box he was holding and stuck it on my face.

——is my favorite vanilla Nisei.

I was still warm after taking a shower, but the temperature difference between the cold box and my skin made me tremble instinctively, and my body immediately recalled the tragedy of eating ice cream before my menstrual period and suffering from pain for a whole week.

Counting the days, it seems that recently...

Ah, it's so annoying, who cares about it, let's talk about it later.

My hair was still dripping, so I walked to the edge of the bed and sat down cross-legged, took a bite out of it with a small wooden spoon and stuffed it into my mouth.Delicious.But it's so cold, is it a normal physiological phenomenon to be so cold that you are about to cry?

Must be.Recently, the lacrimal glands have clearly become accustomed to this mode of squeezing out tears in a few seconds, and the eyes are completely blurred in a moment.

Without saying anything, I started brewing feelings according to the routine of bitter dramas. I was definitely taken away by this world where the tear point is getting lower and lower.

I pinched my inner thigh hard, and my eyes suddenly brightened, refreshed.

Ryota consciously found a place to sit across from me, and even picked up the big towel on the back of the chair and covered my head, rubbing my head with both hands without my consent.

Oh, it seems that I understand the feeling of basketball being played by him.

His hands were not very soft through the towel, but his movements were very careful. I lowered my head and ate ice cream silently.

"You are really going too far. Can such a mess be considered a girl?"

My heart skipped a beat, and my self-esteem was hurt again.

The earthy and flat-chested female high school students really can't be compared with mature and sexy OLs.

I wanted to retort like this at first, but when I thought that if I really said it, I would probably be the only one who would feel embarrassed, so I swallowed two extra mouthfuls of saliva and swallowed the words back.

He didn't seem to want my response, and then suddenly said: "This afternoon, I left alone... I'm sorry."

Hey... The style of painting changed a bit quickly. I reacted for a while, and as the depressed mood rose sharply, I replied sullenly: "No, it doesn't matter. I didn't take it to heart."

The action of brushing my hair stopped, and he smiled and said: "Well...it's really hard to say, such words. Obviously I have been asking Sister Yangcai to watch the game, but I failed everyone's expectations and lost. It's a total failure—"

"I even cried in vain in front of everyone."

He touched his nose uncomfortably, "When I saw you suddenly appear, I was so ashamed that I couldn't even speak, so I had to run away quickly."

"'It would be nice if she didn't see it'. This ostrich-like idea still exists to this day."

His smile froze like that.

Then it gradually collapsed.

The lights in the room were especially bright with the light bulbs just changed.I even saw a layer of moisture in his eyes glowing under the reflection.

Including the slight trembling of the eyelashes and the slightly protruding blue blood vessels on the back of the hand.

"He is simply a coward who has no ability and dare not face the reality. He has too much self-awareness but is ridiculously naive. Sister Yangcai, you also think of me as a middle school student, so you have never taken it to heart."

That kind of self-deprecating expression made me unable to bear to watch it any longer.

He took a deep breath.

"However, even though I'm a coward, I still like Sister Yangcai all the time!"

Tick ​​tock.

The straight ball came unexpectedly.

His fingers were numb from the ice cream box.

I didn't know how to respond for a while, as if this was a doomed endless loop, and the time went back to the stairwell in the last school afternoon.

What I thought at the time was that the two-year age difference was an insurmountable gap for me.

But now, I seem to suddenly understand that the age difference alone does not mean a lot of things.

This is the first time I have seen such Kise Ryota in more than ten years.

It's not that glamorous model in front of people, nor is it a sports genius or a popular school idol, just an ordinary teenage boy Ryota Kise.

I didn't expect him to have these thoughts.Could a boy who is cheerful and optimistic on the outside actually have such complicated and profound entanglements... To be honest, even I, who has always claimed to be an elder, have never thought about it at all.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that he has always carried more things than I imagined.

The burden of being placed with great expectations by the seniors of the basketball club, and being exposed to the complicated society of adults prematurely because of working as a model-these are things I can't do when I'm going around in the ivory tower. Something to experience firsthand.

If you want to say naive, maybe I'm the naive one.

"...It doesn't matter if you like it or not..."

The coward attribute probably exists in everyone's personality.

I didn't look at him, but I heard a short, nasal muffled laugh: "What, it's the 21st century now, do you think you're acting in a Dahe drama?"

"..." The familiar sentence pattern I used to laugh at him was used on myself, and I felt a little sad.

"But it's long gone, my first love."

By this time, I was unconscious of what I was struggling with, and I just simply felt that I must tell the other party all the things I care about.

In a situation of intense anxiety and tension, I would subconsciously have the masochistic thought of "it would be fine if he rejected me, then it would be even."

"Isn't that unfair? No matter how you say you don't care, if you are your first love and the other person has had many failed love experiences, it will always feel unbalanced."

I sniffed, "And every time before, I told you all kinds of things in the relationship without concealment. At that time, you listened with a smile on the surface, but what kind of mood was in your heart... I didn't have any of these things at the time. Considered."

Such a self is simply terrible.

"I've always only thought about myself, being coy and willful. I don't understand what you like about older people!"

It should be enough to say that.

It seems that I feel a lot more relaxed in my heart, so wake up quickly, idiot, you don't like it much at all, it's just that you're used to it.

"It seems to be the same."

……

Hey... what did I hear just now?

Isn't it an auditory hallucination?

I raised my head quickly, and the boy Kise across from me had an inexplicably candid expression.

"Although I have said before that I think the kind and slow sister Yangcai is very cute, but I can't give any other reason. Is it really to the extent that you have to? I also thought it was not the case before. How about this."

……

It seems that the judgment was wrong.

You really came to break up with me, this guy.

The model with red eyes scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, I thought about giving up. Especially when your first love failed and you were so sad that you wanted to commit suicide. At that time, I thought that Sister Yangcai already had someone she liked so much." , I must have run out of opportunities, why not just give up, it will be easier."

……

By the way... how did he know about this.

It was like my sophomore year in high school.The first love I have been with for many years has come to an end. When I was crying alone in a corner, I did send a text message to Liang Nai, I want to commit suicide when I am broken in love, but...

Ah, I see, it turns out that I have no friends at all...

He seemed to be still stuck in that memory.

"At that time, I really tried to shift my target. I thought that it doesn't matter who it is, as long as I like someone else, I can forget you very quickly."

He raised the corner of his mouth, "After being confessed by a girl, I wanted to try dating, so I changed countless 'girlfriends', but after dating, I found that I couldn't even hold hands; Suggestion, try liking Mai-chan for distraction—what the hell is Aomine just being an idiot."

Ah, I seem to have heard something strange.

"So it's not that I haven't tried it. I also... don't know what's going on. I obviously don't know what I like about you, but I can't if it's not you."

It's too illegal.

I picked up the oversized little fat chicken doll at the foot of the bed and put it on his face, "Stupid! If that's the case, what happened to that beautiful OL before! Do you think I didn't see it... Basically, as long as it's in the middle of the year That's all right... As expected of a model gentleman, you can even tell lies so nicely..."

Almost fell for it.

"Eh? Don't you know..."

The model who was covered with a little fat chicken rubbed her red nose with a look of surprise.

I lowered my lips, "You know what, did you break up? Today I saw someone go to the game."

He was too shocked to speak.

"Ahhh, it's really so dull..." He wanted to make a comment, but he seemed to be out of words, so he didn't speak for a long time.

In the end, he said with difficulty: "That's my eldest sister."

……

Tick ​​tock.

I don't know what kind of expression I should make, I only know that my face may be as ugly as death.

"...It's all Second Sister's idea! I thought...you should have found out."

……

Tick ​​tock.

What I hear now is not the sound of the second hand beating on the wall clock, but the final countdown before the bomb explodes.

So far, the tears accumulated for a long time finally spewed out.

-

next door.

Rina Kise who was sitting in the mirror was humming while trimming her eyebrows.

Suddenly, "I don't want to be friends with you anymore, disappear to me! Disappear immediately!!! Don't make me kick your ass!" came from outside the window——

Shake your hand!

Click.

Many soft and short hairs swayed, stepping on an elegant and slow rhythm, and slowly fell on the table in front of the mirror.

Kise Rina looked out the window, and the second floor of the small bungalow opposite was shining with a warm soft light; she turned her head and saw herself in the mirror with half of her eyebrows missing.

Speechless for a long time.
