I thought about giving up Ayako, but my love for her will not change...Mito, you are already too late. "

Yang Ping's face turned cold, and his two palms couldn't help clenching into fists, and it took a long time before he spoke dryly.

"You shouldn't treat her like this. Shimizu...you are the only one I like in my heart, but you don't care about her..."

Mitsui didn't bother to look at him any more, and walked away.

"Wait a minute, Mitsui!"

Sakuragi shouted, seeing Mitsui walking away without looking back, he couldn't help but glared at Yohei who was aside.

"Why did he say that to you? Don't you have nothing to do with Shimizu?"

Yohei couldn't answer Sakuragi's question right away.He bowed his head in thought for a moment, then hurriedly chased him out.Sakuragi, who was confused when he heard it, immediately followed behind with doubts in his heart.

The sky is gloomy, and the moisture in the air is heavier. Everything is like a silhouette stuck in the hazy mist, and it seems that it will rain again.Mitsui walked forward quickly, his heart was in a mess, and he continued to cut and reason.I have always hated her, and she was there every time there was a fight, crying as if she was going to die, even now thinking about it, I can't help but get angry.But with such disgust, she couldn't tolerate her eyes lingering on others.What's wrong with me, are you in love?How stupid, how could it possibly fall in?It's just that when that boredom became a matter of course, she suddenly missed the appointment to walk with Mito, and the sulking in her heart could not be calmed until now.

"Mitsui!"

Yohei caught up with him around the corner of the corridor in front of the locker room.

"Wait a minute, speak clearly."

Mitsui paused for a moment, stopped and turned around, looking directly at Yohei, speechless.At this time, Sakuragi had also caught up and looked at them in surprise.

"Yanghei, what happened between you and Xiaosan?"

Yohei didn't answer, just stared at Mitsui and said word for word.

"Are you serious? What are your plans for the future?"

Mitsui stood silent for a moment, then asked back suddenly.

"And what about you? What are you chasing me for?"

"……I'm curious."

"I'm also quite curious about you. What exactly do you want to do?"

"..."

"To tell you clearly, I have no intention of backing down. Mito, you are different from me. Your feelings for Ayako are only sympathy."

"I like clear water."

Yang Ping lowered his eyes and said quietly.Before receiving Ayako's response, he wanted to deal with it with a vague attitude, but Mitsui's pressing questions made him nowhere to escape.

"Does Ayako understand what you mean?"

"It has nothing to do with her!"

"It doesn't matter, don't chase after me."

Yohei was at a loss for words for a moment, and Sakuragi's question came from behind him.

"Yohei, do you like Shimizu?"

As if under attack, Yohei blurted out what was on his mind without even thinking about it.

"I explained it to her yesterday. I told her...to leave you and come to me...to stay with me and not to come back to you..."

"Is that so—? Very good."

Mitsui's eyes jumped, and he suddenly had the urge to kill, and he gritted his teeth after a while.

"But you have to understand that Ayako followed me to Xiangbei when she was in junior high school. She will not fall in love with anyone but me. You are simply deceiving yourself, imagining that one day Ayako will really forget me!"

"Are you that confident?"

"of course."

Mitsui's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly.

"It's better to wake up early, you are not as good as her feelings for me. I won't let go of Ayako, so you just give up."

"how so?"

Sakuragi stared at Yohei in surprise.

"She's someone else's girlfriend after all."

Faced with such a predicament, Yohei was speechless and unable to refute.

"It's too late to escape now."

Mitsui said.

"It's not right to do that."

Sakuragi said.

"I just……"

Under the scorching gaze of the two of them, Yohei couldn't help taking a step or two back.Sakuragi asked with a serious attitude that could not be escaped.

"Excuse me, what's going on?"

"..."

"Yohei, do you really like Shimizu?"

"Boring, don't ask."

"it's very important to me!"

Sakuragi exclaimed suddenly.

"You and Xiaosan are both my friends..."

Yang Ping looked at him, speechless.After an unknown amount of time, he turned his face away, avoiding Sakuragi's gaze, and remained silent.Mitsui's face was even more expressionless, watching all this indifferently, for a while the three of them stood dumbly, each thinking about their own thoughts, as if even the air had melted in the awkward silence.

**********

The pattering rain has not stopped since the evening, and it seems to be getting worse.Pedestrians on the street looked indifferent and walked in a hurry. The weather seemed to be able to gloomy their moods.Mitsui parked next to the cold drink shop on the street with an umbrella in his hand, and the neon lights gave off a faint halo in the night rain.Through the rain curtain, staring at the sporadic figures shuttling through the glass window, he was a little dazed.

The environment in the store is very quiet and comfortable, the light is elegant and pure, and the soft music is mellow and rippling.Mitsui put away his umbrella and walked in slowly. A clerk greeted him. Under the guidance of the other party, he quickly found Ayako's location.Looking at Ayako's pensive look with lowered eyes, a complicated and unspeakable feeling surged in his heart.Looking closely at the absence of rain gear beside her, one could tell that she had been waiting for quite a while, and sat down calmly opposite her.

"What do you want from me?"

Ayako was startled, and then she came back to her senses, raised her eyes to look at him, dazed for a long time, then gently retracted her eyes.

"Haruko told me everything. Although she said she would not appear, she still feels guilty and sorry... Please don't do the same thing in the future."

She bowed her head and muttered to herself.This time it was Ayako who proposed the invitation to meet. She corrected her expression uneasy and told herself that it must be settled.

"Are you willing to meet me because you want to apologize?"

There was a sparkle in Mitsui's eyes, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.

"It was Mito who told you to do this."

"He didn't say anything."

Fearing that Mitsui might misunderstand, Ayako immediately denied it.Her reaction made Mitsui's wry smile produce some subtle changes.

"That's right, Mito has a gentle personality and is the most understanding."

Hearing the sour sarcasm in his words, Ayako's expression changed rapidly.Mitsui pursed his lips tightly and spoke after a while.

"Do you like that guy?"

"...I had a great time with him."

Ayako raised her eyes to look at him, then lowered her head again.

"do you like him?"

Mitsui stared at Ayako intently, and asked again.

"I can talk to him about anything, and I can share each other's thoughts..."

"So you like him."

Mitsui interrupted her coldly and dropped his shoulders in disappointment.Even if Ayako herself didn't realize it, Mitsui still noticed that Ayako didn't intend to give a positive answer to the question of whether she liked Mito or not.Just as he was thinking this, Ayako whispered in his ear.

"I... like Mito-san. He treats me very well."

"Is this what you call liking? Are you referring to these things?"

Hearing Mitsui's dejected words, Ayako couldn't help raising her head to face him, her tone and eyes were lifeless.

"...I am with you, the only reward is pain."

"So you made a choice that made you happy."

"..."

"I heard he has confessed to you, you were dating last night, right?"

Mitsui's expression was gloomy, he was stunned for a moment, and then got up suddenly.

"Is this the kind of love you want in your mind?... If the other person likes you, you have to like the other person. This kind of cheap love... probably means that girls will be happier if they are loved."

"Senior Mitsui!"

Ayako suddenly trembled all over, and looked up at him in grief and indignation.

"Please don't say such things! You never really liked me! You just said that because I rejected you."

"Is that what you think?"

Mitsui was startled suddenly, and the atmosphere was momentarily cold. He chuckled at himself, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Okay! If that's the case, you and Mito can happily continue dating."

After taking two steps, she silently stared at Ayako again, and slightly tilted her head towards the umbrella that was leaning against the back of the chair.

"It's raining heavily outside, I'll take this for you."

"...Mitsui-senpai..."

Ayako called him hesitantly.Mitsui asked calmly, as if he couldn't bear to extinguish the courage she had finally mustered up.

"What's up?"

"Actually, I... don't plan to meet today... But at noon, I heard rumors about your next opponent..."

Mitsui nodded.

"You want to know if the basketball team is ready. Xiangyang is a strong team, and I have a knee injury."

"Um."

"From today onwards, I will increase the intensity of my training and carry out targeted rehabilitation."

He said lightly, seeing the worried expression on Ayako's face, and the expression became much more gentle. He only said something lightly about Ayako's concern.

"congratulations."

Ayako tried her best to relieve her nervousness and forced a smile.Mitsui stared at her deeply and said goodbye in a low voice.

"Goodbye, Shimizu."

As the word "Shimizu" came out, Ayako's smile quickly collapsed.Mitsui walked out quickly.

**********

Yohei dragged his heavy steps towards the tram stop that Ayako must pass to go home.Mitsui meets Ayako tonight, what will they talk about?He understood that if this kind of messy situation continued, it would not be of any benefit to Ayako or Mitsui.Only by himself to quit... Although the crux of the problem was clearly annoying, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Since middle school, people have said that his strength is gentleness and amiability, but now that he thinks about it, his strength may also be his biggest weakness.
