blue fantasy

Sakuragi got up abruptly and stared at Rukawa.

"Why didn't you say a word?"

"Um?"

Rukawa raised his eyebrows and looked sideways impatiently.

"Don't play dumb! A nasty guy like you doesn't say a word about my mistake! Isn't it too strange?"

Sakuragi was furious.

"If you're going to pity me, I don't appreciate it!"

"pity?"

Rukawa snorted coldly, and walked out the door without looking back.

"Hey! Don't go, Rukawa Kaede!"

Sakuragi rushed out in a gust of wind.

**********

At 8:30PM, the sound of rustling and rustling rain came into the basketball hall intermittently, injecting an indescribable sense of happiness into the dark and quiet atmosphere.Mitsui listened attentively to the continuous sound of rain outside, and couldn't help feeling anxious in his heart.It seems that the rain will not stop in the short term, but I don't care, Ayako may not be able to withstand the night rain.He looked down at Ayako who was lying on his chest, the latter was staring in a daze with hot cheeks and bright eyes.It's been like this since just now, I don't know what she is thinking.Sigh quietly.

"Your body is cold, are you uncomfortable?"

"No...no."

Ayako smiled calmly.

"It's just so happy, it feels like a dream..."

"Just say it if you feel uncomfortable."

Carefully holding her tighter, he gently wiped her forehead with his palm.

"It's hot and cold, are you sick?"

"Mitsui-senpai, do you really like me?"

Ayako lowered her eyes, hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him again.

"You're not joking about treating me like this today, are you?"

"What do you say?"

Mitsui was taken aback.

"Because it was still a disgusting look before?"

"Well……"

With a bit of shame, he avoided her gaze.

"Is there even a need to ask about this kind of thing? If you think about it carefully, you will know."

"But...except for that one time, you never paid attention to me again, I don't know what's in your heart at all."

The mood that was originally sunny after the rain, flashed a little haze.Ayako bit her lower lip tightly, unable to grasp the other party's heart, wondering if Mitsui was really happy with her, these situations still made her feel uneasy.

"You clearly said you would erase me from your memory, but then..."

"Hey! Stop repeating my stupid words!"

Mitsui's face darkened.

"Are you asking me to confess to you? Don't be kidding... forget about those unrealistic thoughts."

"Mitsui-senpai, I have always liked you."

Ayako broke away from him slightly, straightened her body, and said seriously.

"When I think that you may not have the same feelings as me, and that you may leave me sometime in the future, my heart feels like it's about to burst..."

"I know, enough has been said."

Seeing Ayako's troubled embarrassment, Mitsui smiled, but most of it was a wry smile.he muttered.

"Why are you entangled in this issue, didn't I say it?"

"I have no idea what you really think."

Her eye circles were slightly red, and her expression became very serious.

"Even though I like you too much, if I don't figure it out... I will still feel pain. I'm not a smart person..."

"It's really stupid."

Mitsui whispered softly.Ayako stared at him affectionately.

"...Mitsui-senpai."

"What's up?"

"I... want to know more about you."

"..."

Mitsui's heart was shaken by such affectionate eyes.Since he decided to be honest with Ayako, he has realized that Ayako is qualitatively different from the girls he met in bad times. Her eyes are clean and pure, spotless.Such Ayako, on the contrary, made him feel that it was a heavy burden. Because of this, there was the initial cold rejection, but now it is different.

"Hey, have you ever kissed another man besides me? I...was your first kiss?"

"...Why are you asking this all of a sudden..."

Ayako's face blushed quickly, looking coquettish and lovely.

"Is not it?"

Mitsui stared round.

"...What! When...of course it's the first time..."

"You."

Without wasting any time, he leaned forward and pressed her lips against hers.

"Is that all right?"

Startled by his unexpected move, Ayako didn't know how to react at all, and when she finally got used to the situation, the stiff expression on her face melted away, revealing a sweet smile.If happiness is illusory, she would rather never wake up.Even if today is the end of the world, she doesn't care, because at this moment, her whole heart is only carrying the person in front of her...

Mitsui reluctantly let her go, pursed his lips and smiled.

"Are you satisfied now? I have never kissed any other woman except you."

"you……"

Suddenly awake, Ayako felt ashamed for a while, quickly covered her cheeks, and muttered.

"It's really annoying."

"I like you, Ayako."

Her smile didn't have time to retreat, and Mitsui's tender words burned away the uneasiness in her heart like a hot flame.With a slight smile, he took her into his arms again and whispered in her ear.

"This time I'm sincere... Even though I took many detours before, I still can't escape your influence. I decided to give up a long time ago. Now I get the thing I want to have the most besides basketball, and I feel as happy as if I'm about to explode... ...so trust me, I will make you happy..."

"……understood."

Hastily wiped away the tears that were about to fall again, nodded vigorously, and burst into a bright smile.

"Thank you for telling me this...it feels so good..."

"It's my fault that I can't make you feel at ease."

Mitsui lowered his head and fondled her hair.Only then did he realize that his emotions had finally found a safe haven after a difficult journey. No matter what happened or hurt anyone, he liked Ayako.

"We'll leave when the rain stops. I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten all day."

"Ah, I forgot to buy food."

Ayako suddenly realized, and hurriedly got up to get the plastic bag placed in the rest area.Between the words, the door was pulled open heavily with a "bang--", and the inside of the hall was suddenly bright as day.Ayako was startled, and immediately left Mitsui's side in a panic, looking at the inappropriate intruder with a flushed face.Rukawa Feng opened his eyes wide and stared at the embarrassing two people. Even an idiot would know what happened in such a situation.He blushed slightly, lowered his eyes, walked silently to the sidelines, and took out a basketball from the basket.

"Aren't you going to practice now? Rukawa."

Mitsui asked angrily.Before Rukawa answered, Sakuragi rushed forward angrily.

"Rukawa Kaede, speak clearly for me!"

"Hmph, idiot!"

Rukawa glanced at him sideways and said coldly.

"You think this game is lost because of you? Stop being self-righteous, idiot."

"what?"

Sakuragi was furious.

"Yesterday, your performance has exceeded two or three times your strength. For Xiangbei, it is unexpected luck."

Rukawa stared at him mockingly.

"Do you think the coach and the captain expected much to send you out?"

"When...of course you regard me as the savior..."

Sakuragi turned her face away guiltily.

"That's all."

Rukawa made a 2MM gesture.

"What did you say?"

Sakuragi was furious.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Startled, Mitsui quickly stood up and stopped in front of them.

"Have you ever fought? If you lose the game, there is no need to be so infighting, right? The most urgent thing is to figure out how to win all the games against Lingnan and Buri."

"Little...Little San..."

Sakuragi was stunned, only then did he realize his existence.

"Why are you here?"

"You bastard..."

Mitsui frowned impatiently.

"I was in the basketball hall. It looks like you guys are going to fight? Don't forget that we have promised Coach Anxi that if we are found out, we will not be able to play the next game."

"Senior is here for a date, unfortunately I chose the wrong place."

Rukawa glanced at Ayako and walked away two steps.

"I'm just wasting my time fighting this idiot."

"What's your attitude?"

Mitsui let out angrily.

"Dating……"

Sakuragi stared blankly at Ayako.

"Miss Haruko's friend... Haruko is looking forward to me so much..."

"That's not the point."

Mitsui glared at Sakuragi angrily.

"Even if you blame yourself, you have to give some grounds. Your level can't affect the result of the game. The real reason for losing the game... is me! If my state is more stable..."

"It's not because of seniors!"

Rukawa interrupted him, looking straight at Sakuragi.

"The fact that you will make a mistake has long been in everyone's calculations, so there is no need to make a fuss. Your strength is no more than this, and it is not enough to affect the outcome of the game!"

"... Rukawa Kaede, do you want to be beaten?"

Sakuragi's expression changed, and he punched violently.

"Sakuragi!"

Mitsui yelled and wanted to stop it.Sakuragi's fist approached Rukawa's cheek with the sound of the wind, and stopped abruptly, unable to hit him for a long time: even if he beat him with his fist, it was meaningless.Only by defeating him with ball skills can he be convinced!

His mind was so chaotic, he didn't pay attention at all, Rukawa suddenly punched him without making a sound, and slammed Sakuragi's cheek hard.

"I am the one who should take the responsibility for the loss... If my physical strength can last until the end, I can win today's game!"

"Rukawa, it's up to me to say that."

Mitsui stood between them angrily.

"Don't fight anymore, you will be found out!"

"you you you……"

Sakuragi trembled with anger
