With a sound, she looked pitifully at Haruko who was still excited in the distance.

"Miss Haruko doesn't care about me until now, she said so softly and considerately."

"Whimsical."

Yang Ping lightly punched him on the shoulder pretending to be mocking.

"Shimizu's words seem to be very useful, and it has recovered."

Sakuragi's face was a little gentler than before, and he muttered bitterly to himself.

"Damn it. Just touched it a little, and the referee kept blowing the whistle, blowing the whistle on me, a genius..."

"Okay, Sakuragi."

Yohei stood up.

"Don't be so sullen, you should be happy after winning the game."

"It's noisy."

A voice sounded above Sakuragi's head, and at some point Mitsui appeared behind them, staring at Sakuragi with an obviously displeased expression.

"Cheer up. This is just the first match. The next match will be more and more difficult, and the opponent will be stronger. Do you want to keep your head down like this?"

Ayako's face turned pale pale, her body trembled slightly, and she hesitated for a long time before raising her eyes to look at him.Mitsui's eyes shifted to her. The two hadn't seen each other for many days since that unpleasant knee pad incident.

"No way!"

Sakuragi jumped up from the ground, patted his chest and laughed loudly.

"That's right. With me, Sakuragi Hanamichi in Xiangbei, I will definitely win! Hahaha... I'm a genius!"

"Mood changes really fast."

Yang Ping whispered, amused and helpless sighed.

"Finally back to his true self."

"we won."

Mitsui stared at Ayako intently, and suddenly smiled at her.Ayako stood there stiffly.This was the first time he smiled at himself, it was not the usual malicious mocking smile, but a natural smile with a serious heart.Ayako felt her heart beating fast, as if she was about to burst out, Mitsui seemed a little different today.It took her a long time to wake up, and she quickly lowered her eyes.

"……congratulations."

Yang Ping felt sad for a while, she looked at Mitsui with a tender and affectionate expression, had she ever looked at herself like this?Sakuragi's eyes wandered around among the few people inexplicably, and everyone was silent for a while, trying to figure out their own unspeakable thoughts.

"I'm going to get a drink."

Sakuragi obviously couldn't adapt to this situation, and while talking, he sneaked a glance at Yohei, and exited embarrassingly.

"I……"

Ayako's heart was torn and lingering, and she couldn't meet Mitsui who was paying attention to her for the first time, so she could only speak in a whisper.

"I'll go as well."

"Mitsui."

When Ayako walked to a place where she could not hear at all, Yohei suppressed a gentle smile, and his expression became serious.

"Treat her better. Shimizu is very embarrassed by your attitude."

Mitsui glanced at him indifferently, turned his gaze sideways to look at Ayako's figure in a silent trance.Yohei also turned his gaze to Ayako.This stagnant and speechless state lasted until Ayako brought three or four bottles of juice to the front, and then it came to an end.At a distance of five or six feet from the two of them, Ayako suddenly swayed her footsteps, her limbs were weak and powerless as if they were on the verge of falling—the knee pad Mitsui was wearing on her left knee was the knee pad she gave her!He... When did he pick it up? Didn't he already throw it into the recycle bin in front of him?

Ayako stared at him in bewilderment, and put down the drink in her hand without a word.Yohei and Sakuragi observed the reaction between them in amazement, not knowing what happened.The blue sky seems to have been washed by clear water, deep and transparent. The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds and becomes a broad fan-like light, projecting obliquely at the entrance of the museum.

Mitsui lowered his eyes, gently shook his left knee wearing a knee pad a few times, and said to Yang Jing calmly.

"Honestly, I have forgotten that my birthday is just a few days away, and I have never received anything like this on my birthday. If there is any, it is just a chocolate gift from some boring girls... It can be It’s the first time that I’m happy because of my birthday...just like now, it stays strong in my heart..."

Having said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Ayako steadily.

"Thank you... for the gift."

Mitsui's words made Ayako's shoulders tremble slightly.A rosy blush appeared on her cheeks, she glanced at Mitsui in panic, then lowered her eyes, her voice trembling and forced to whisper.

"It's nothing."

"Enough, Mitsui!"

As if losing patience, Yohei put down the drink he just held in his hand, stared at the other party dissatisfiedly, frowned and said in a low voice.

"You have already rejected her, so stop torturing her!"

"You are so annoying."

Mitsui let out a light snort, and looked directly at Yohei in the air-conditioning of minus [-] degrees.

"Whether I refuse to reject Ayako is a matter between me and her, outsiders step aside!"

"you……"

Yang Ping's face changed suddenly, he clenched his teeth and tried to suppress the anger burning from the bottom of his heart.

"Since you don't care about Shimizu, why don't you just concentrate on practicing your basketball there, why are you messing with her again?!"

"Yanghei?"

Sakuragi, who returned to the original place with the ice bucket, sensitively smelled a strong smell of gunpowder, and looked around in surprise at the two people who were choking.

"What are you talking about? I can't understand anything."

Sakuragi appeared at the right time to solve this embarrassing situation.Ayako glanced at Yohei in horror, and lowered her head deeply at a loss.Yang Ping lowered his voice:

"Shimizu, it's none of your business here, you should leave first."

"Okay... okay."

Yohei's words are like driftwood floating on the water.Ayako bowed like a conditioned reflex, bit her lower lip tightly, turned her head and ran out the door quickly.

"Mito."

Mitsui's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, he paused for a moment before speaking with a gloomy face, and said lightly.

"You like Shimizu, right? But please stay away from her in the future, I only say this once."

After saying that, he stepped into the training ground without looking back.

"Akagi, start practicing."

"Yanghei, what's the matter with you?"

Sakuragi looked at the back of Mitsui who still had a trace of anger in surprise, and said unhappily.

"Why are you arguing with Xiaosan?"

"I just don't like him!"

Yang Ping muttered to himself, then suddenly turned around and left.

"That Mitsui..."

**********

"Shimizu."

Yang Ping took a few steps and caught up with her.Ayako looked back sadly.

"Mito-san."

In the evening when the sun is setting, it really makes people feel indescribably depressing.Looking at Ayako's lonely figure in the twilight, Yanghei felt a tearing pain in his heart.He opened his mouth hesitantly.

"are you OK?"

"...If only I hadn't appeared in the basketball gym..."

Ayako looked at Yohei as if asking for help, and said softly.She lowered her head and looked at her own shadow.

"I really want to forget him...I have made up my mind to forget him..."

He raised his head again, and the tears accumulated in his eyes rolled down quietly.

"But... I can't do it at all, I'm so stupid."

"do not talk."

Yohei took his eyes away from her, really unable to talk to such Ayako.The corners of Ayako's lips kept trembling, she shook her head stubbornly, and continued.

"Haruko told me to go, so I went. Knowing that I would meet him... I still had a little luck, thinking that I would treat him as an ordinary person... I hope I can live a brand new life... When I saw Wearing the gift I gave him, Mitsui-senpai felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle in his heart, and it hurt so badly."

She wept while talking, showing a forced smile, and then raised her hand to hold the tip of her red nose from crying and sobbed.

"...It's really embarrassing."

Yohei stared at her speechlessly.Facing such a helpless Ayako, he couldn't give her any spiritual or strength help.He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but finally put it down weakly.Ayako stared at the distance in a daze.

"I always thought that as long as Mitsui-senpai looked at me more, as long as he said a word to me, I would be satisfied... As long as I can keep looking at him, I will be satisfied."

Covering his face and weeping like an overwhelmed load.

"...But now I'm becoming more and more greedy. No matter how hard I try, my heart still suffers. What should I do..."

"Shimizu."

Yang Ping was confused, bowed his head and thought for a long time before hesitatingly said in a dry voice.

"If, I mean if... Mitsui actually likes you."

Ayako slowly raised her eyes in shock, held her breath, and listened nervously.Yohei didn't intend to speak again, and the two fell into a brief silence.Quietly wiping away the tears on her face, it was Ayako who broke the silence first.

"What's the use of talking about it now..."

Her tone of voice is all but lost.

"Mitsui is really amazing."

With a sour voice, Yohei smiled self-sarcastically.

"It's just a hypothesis, and you are completely different. It seems that you have regained your sanity."

"……Um……"

Ayako lowered her eyes and nodded.

"Since you're fine, I'm going back."

After speaking, Yohei was about to turn around and leave.

"Mito-san."

Ayako interrupted him suddenly, stared at Yohei, her lips trembled for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"Can you please don't go? Stay... stay with me, even if... just for a few minutes..."

Yang Ping's heart was shaken, he gave a wry smile, and avoided her eyes without any trace.

"Sorry...I don't want to be a substitute for someone else."

Ayako's expression became even darker.The sky is getting darker and darker, and the surrounding scenery is gradually blurred with scattered fog.

"I should be the one to say sorry for making such a rude request to you."

Said and nodded slightly to him.

"...I'm fine now, thank you."

"real?"

"This time, we must learn how to completely forget him."
