Fang, moving his lips.

"What you think is right may not be fair to Ayako. She has liked you since middle school, and it has been three years."

Mitsui took a long breath.

"I won't get used to it at first, but I will be forgotten after a long time. Besides, someone will come to her soon, and I won't see her again after I graduate..."

He turned around and looked at the faint circle of light from the street lamp in the distance, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.asked after a while.

"Who's in the hospital now?"

"...Yohei."

"he……?"

There was a subtle change in Mitsui's pupils, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.

"I must have waited a long time for this opportunity."

Turn back and enter, and say to Yingmu.

"Where's the phone? Please borrow it."

"There……"

Sakuragi, who was fisting with Rukawa slightly, stopped and pointed to the corner of the room.The others immediately stopped talking, watched Mitsui walk over in silence, picked up the phone, and connected to a number.

"I am Shimizu."

Ayako's euphemistic and beautiful voice came from the microphone.

"it's me."

Mitsui hesitated for a few seconds.

"Senior Mitsui?"

Ayako's voice trembled.

"today……"

"I'm sorry about what happened today."

Unable to bear to hear her continue, Mitsui quickly cut it off.

"The basketball club is temporarily busy, so I can't rush back right away. I'm sorry to keep you waiting... If it's convenient now, I want to meet you."

"yes?"

Ayako's answer sounded weak and lifeless.

"I understand."

When she cut off the phone, a clear beep sound came from her ear, and Mitsui slowly put down the receiver with a bloodless face, and suddenly slipped along the wall and fell to the ground weakly.

"Mitsui."

Miyagi stepped forward worriedly and patted his left shoulder.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm going to explain it to her."

Mitsui raised his eyes and smiled bleakly.Everyone held their breaths, and the room was completely silent, as if they could hear their own heartbeats.After an unknown amount of time, Mitsui stood up exhausted, walked to the entrance, put on his shoes, and went out without looking back.Miyagi and Akagi looked at each other.

"Is it okay for him to look like this? His complexion is very bad. He won't fall down halfway."

"I'll follow Xiaosan."

Sakuragi stood up abruptly, put on his shoes and hurried to catch up.Haruko watched their receding figures disappear into the night mist, with a sad expression on her face.

**********

Mitsui stepped on the tram at 22:[-] at night, and he ran there so rashly, ignoring whether the hospital was locked or not.Even if Sakuragi was extremely unwilling, he could only accompany him all the way.Mitsui was in a very bad mood, pursing his lips and staring down at the floor in a daze.Sakuragi could probably guess what he was thinking, it was nothing more than what he wanted to say when they broke up, and how to word it to achieve the goal without hurting the other party and minimize the blow.Although I have no experience of actively breaking up in love, I have a lot of experience of passively breaking up, so I want to give Mitsui some language advice, but seeing his melancholy and frustrated face, as if he didn't want to say a word, no matter what. I can't open my mouth.

The two entered the ward 10 minutes later. Fortunately, it was not locked, and they took the elevator to the fifth floor.Sakuragi thinks that the two of them are really unrelated. If visits are prohibited in the ward, Mitsui will naturally have no way to break up. Maybe after a night of calm, he may change his mind.In the current situation, it is obvious that the people around him are completely cut off from the way out. I hope Mitsui will not regret it.Thinking of that seemingly delicate girl in Qingshui, who was about to suffer the blow of a broken relationship, I couldn't help but feel very sympathetic.

Yang Ping bowed and sat on the long chair outside the ward, crossed his arms to support his knees, clasped his fingers to his forehead, and quietly blended into the surrounding environment.Mitsui walked towards him slowly, looked at him expressionlessly, passed him, opened the door of the ward, and walked in.

"Senior Mitsui."

Ayako's uneasy response came from inside the door.Yang Ping raised his eyes as if suddenly sober, and saw that Mitsui had already closed the door of the sick room.Sakuragi handed Yohei the Coke he had just bought from the vending machine, and sat down beside him.

"Little San wants to break up with Shimizu, do you know?"

Yang Ping unhooked the hook on the can, took a sip silently, and said nothing.

"They have always been very close. They obviously love each other to death, but they suddenly want to break up."

Sakuragi squinted at him.

"Don't you like Shimizu very much? Did she say anything?"

With a flick of his wrist, Yang Ping immediately poured out the drink in the can. He quickly got up and walked away two steps, whispering as if evading.

"How do I know such a thing?"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Sakuragi stared at him in surprise.

"You will be in the hospital, didn't Shimizu tell you?"

"no."

Yohei took out the handkerchief from his pocket in a concealed manner, and lowered his head to wipe the dirty corner of his clothes.

"What's the point of love that can't bring happiness to each other? Breaking up is a matter of time."

"But……"

Sakuragi shook her head in disapproval.

"Who knows what will happen in the future? No one will believe that you can't give the other party the happiness you want as a reason to break up. Just because you can't be sure, you will enjoy it desperately, right? Xiaosan must have a hard time behind doing this."

"Even if there is him, I can only bear it."

Yang Ping responded indifferently.He raised his face and drank the drink in the can, then threw it into the nearby environmental protection barrel, and turned to look at Sakuragi.

"As for Shimizu, Mitsui will naturally be forgotten after a long time."

"You think so?"

Sakuragi made a "cut".

"If you really like someone, you won't forget them easily. I have more experience than you in this regard."

"never mind."

Yohei stared at the ceiling irritably, the corridor lamp was shining gray and white, and he was talking to himself.

"How much do we know about other people's affairs? If we really can't give up, it's useless for others to stop us."

He said deceiving himself, thinking of the scene of persecuting Mitsui at noon, a thick layer of self-loathing suddenly emerged in his heart.Using despicable means to separate two people who love each other, such a self should be despised.However, since the game has begun, accepting it calmly may be the only way out at present.Half disgusted and half comforted, he fought fiercely in his heart, glanced at the tightly closed door of the ward, and suppressed the bitter emotions with determination.

"makes sense."

Sakuragi shrugged and said no more, with a rather disapproving tone.

**********

The night is deep, and the moonlight is as cool as water coming in through the window.Mitsui gently stroked Ayako's cheeks with his fingers, and saw that she looked extremely haggard, and couldn't help feeling colic and distressed in his heart.Really just give up like this?The so-called compensation and repayment, as long as you put aside and ignore it, it's totally fine.Which is more correct, to let go in a timely manner or to stay persistently?His eyes flickered, and he felt guilty.

"Have you informed your family about your admission to the hospital?"

Ayako pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

"The hospital where my brother practiced introduced new equipment, and my father brought my grandfather to Tokyo for treatment. I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow... I don't want to worry them because of these things."

"yes?"

Mitsui nodded knowingly.The two were silent and stared at each other for a moment, Mitsui looked away in embarrassment, losing the confidence and casualness of the past.He pondered how to speak, but Ayako broke the silence with a soft voice.

"Senior Mitsui, if you have anything to say, just speak up, I've already made... the necessary preparations."

"If I may, I'd like some explanation for what happened this afternoon."

Mitsui hesitated a lot and forced words out of his throat.

"Coach Anzai fainted suddenly, so...can't come right away..."

"Just because of these?"

Ayako looked at him in confusion, and said helplessly.

"This kind of thing can be solved with just one phone call. It won't be troublesome to give me a call, right?"

Mitsui stood up and walked to the window. The gentle night breeze blew into the room, the curtains fluttered like waves, and there was an unusual silence around him.His arms hung by his sides, his knuckles curled into fists, and he took a deep breath.

"I thought about everything that happened today. I'm sorry that you were injured and admitted to the hospital because of my relationship. So I have to think about whether I can protect you even if I can give you everything I have..."

Ayako looked up at him in surprise, her body trembling.Mitsui gritted his teeth, deliberately ignored her helplessness, and stared at her with burning eyes.

"the answer is negative."

"Senior Mitsui!"

Ayako was stunned for a while, her face turned pale.

"I don't understand...please explain more clearly, what do you mean...you want to break up?"

"That's right!"

Mitsui made up his mind not to look at her, his voice distorted due to excessive gloomyness.

"I want to break up with you, and I don't want to see you again. It has reached...the point where I can't bear it."

"lie!"

Ayako's eyes turned red, and she tried her best to suppress the tears that were about to overflow, and said angrily.

"Are you telling me a lie?"

"I did not lie."

Maintaining a stiff posture, after experiencing the initial confusion and difficulty, Ayako spoke fiercely.

"You may be ridiculed for your excessive self-awareness, but... you still like me! Why did you make such a decision, tell me the real reason!"

"You are the one who lied!"

Mitsui stared at the person he likes stupidly, and said slowly.

"The one who can't be trusted...is yourself!"

"What are you talking about!"

"That watch...was given to you by Mito, why did you deliberately hide it?"

He didn't go on, because he saw the pained look in Ayako's eyes.Time stood still, and the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

"The person you really like in your heart is Mito! I asked you about it before, but you're just perfunctory!"

"In order to break up, can you even say such a thing?"

Ayako tightened the sheet covering her body, one minute, two
