[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

The Spring High Qualifiers officially started, Wuye played against Shannan for the first time, winning an overwhelming victory.

In the second game against Kadokawa, before the official start of the game, Hinata and Lin Xingning expressed their emotions to the opponent's two-meter-tall players at the same time.

Seeing Hinata began to mutter "I want to fit in with Fujiwhale" with an expression of "the world is not worth it", she also comforted: "It doesn't matter Hinata-kun, 201 is only 10 centimeters higher than Yue."

Hinata was suddenly optimistic: "Hearing what Lin-chan said, it really doesn't seem like a big deal."

But he immediately fell into despair again: "But Yuedao is already too high!"

Yue Dao looked at Lin Xingning expressionlessly, and she quickly crossed her mouth with her hands, but she could still see a smile that couldn't be hidden from her eyes.

He was a little helpless, what was that idiot so happy about?

The match against Kadokawa also won, and Karasuno successfully entered the final round. The group went back to school for a short meeting, and went home after practice.

After Lin Xingning got home, she asked Yuedao's mother to chat happily and help in the kitchen as usual.

After Mingguang sent Yuedao an invitation to practice with his team, he saw the scene where Lin Xingning was chatting and laughing with his mother: "Xingning is really a good boy."

Tsukishima said with a bit of disgust: "That's it."

"Firefly, are you particularly competitive about Xingning?"

"...that guy is troublesome."

"Really? She's a cute and well-behaved girl, and there are many boys chasing her in school, right?"

"probably."

Ming Guang felt a little resentful: "You are really immature, wouldn't a brother have the desire to say 'stay away from my sister' to those who pursue her sister!

"No matter how popular you are, you will still obediently call 'brother' when you face yourself. Isn't it very cute to be cute!" Because Yue Dao grows up and becomes less cute, Ming Guang still looks forward to having a coquettish cling to himself sister's.

However, the first thing that popped into Yue Dao's mind was the way she called "my brother" when she was arguing with Lin Xingning: "...No, not at all."

There is still half a month before the start of school, and Karasuno's daily practice is continuing.

After breakfast in the morning, I go to school to practice, and at noon I have a period of time to rest and eat, and continue to practice in the afternoon.After coach Wu Yang leaves, the players will stay to practice independently, with a lot of exercise.

In the evening, Tsukishima came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and found that the TV in the living room was on, and Lin Xingning was asleep on the sofa—my brother was busy looking for a job in his room, and my mother went to Mrs. Sakaguchi’s house next door, so no one stopped him She is sleeping on the sofa.

Her quiet appearance after falling asleep finally made him imagine the description of "cute and well-behaved".

"Yue..." Lin Xingning's pronunciation was a little vague, soft and soft, with a little nasal sound.

She was talking in her sleep, a corner of Yue Dao's heart seemed to be blown by the breeze, giving birth to some feelings that he didn't quite understand.

Then she said something in Chinese, muttered meaninglessly for a while, and finally switched back to Japanese: "Idiot..."

"...You are the idiot, get up and take a shower."

Not long after the practice in the afternoon of the second day, Yue Dao asked Lin Xingning to go to the town gymnasium together.

He didn't have to take her with him, but it should be dark after his teammates finished their independent practice, and that idiot Lu Chi was afraid of the dark—in the past, his mother would lecture him most at home, but now that he has an extra brother, that's double Trouble.

When they arrived at the gymnasium, Mingguang pressed his head with each hand with a proud parental mentality, pretending not to see Yuedao's dissatisfied expression, and introduced to his teammates: "These two are our younger brothers and sisters, please advise."

One of the teams that Yue Dao joined participated in the game. Lin Xingning had nothing to do—even the scoring was already done, so he squatted to the side to watch the ball silently, and moved to a corner after he was almost hit.

During the intermission, after Mingguang finished drinking water, he saw Lin Xingning's head bobbing, walked up to her and squatted down: "Xingning, you can't sleep here, it's easy to catch a cold."

"Huh? Huh." She barely pulled herself together, and before she could speak, a coat was thrown over her head, and she pulled it off to see that it was Tsukishima's, and she put it on skillfully.

Seeing that Lin Xingning's hair was messed up, Ming Guang reached out his hand to help her tidy it up, when Yue Dao pressed her head: "Go to the bathroom and wash your face."

"okay."

When Lin Xingning came back after washing her face, the game had already started, and she remembered that she was wearing Yuedao's coat.

Hmm... nothing special, the clothes all use the same laundry detergent, and they all smell the same, except that Yue's coat is really big, isn't everything else the same!

Lin Xingning zipped up his coat to the top, lowered his head to cover his expression, thinking in his heart, why are you laughing for no reason!It's like an idiot!

After the practice ended the next day, Tsukishima continued to practice in the gymnasium. After He Zecun explained the situation, he drove Lin Xingning home to rest.

After finishing the practice at the local gymnasium, he subconsciously looked for Lin Xingning, and belatedly remembered that she hadn't come today.

When the two brothers returned home hungry and hungry, they found that the lights were not turned on, and a note was left on the table:

My mother went back to her hometown in the countryside to visit my grandfather, and she would not be back until a few days later. There was food in the refrigerator to warm up.

Mingguang took the initiative to heat up the meal: "Yingying, ask Xingning to eat."

After responding, Yue Dao went upstairs, knocked on the door twice, but there was no response from inside, and knocked a third time: "I'm in."

Pushing open the door, her room is not completely dark, the night light by the bed emits a soft light, the light is not very bright, it can only vaguely illuminate the outline of the objects in the room, because the distance is closer, the crystal ball next to it He and Lin Xingning's sleeping face appeared very clear.

Quiet and warm, like a scene in a fairy tale.

He was reminded of the story of Sleeping Beauty for no reason.

Lin Xingning was woken up by Yue Dao's rough push, and asked in a nasal voice, "What's wrong?"

"Eat," Tsukishima asked standing beside the bed, "are you sick?"

"No, I'm just a little tired. I should be almost fine tomorrow." Lin Xingning propped up his upper body, and began to rest his head on his face.

Since she is the type who is not comfortable and will not take the initiative to speak out, and has many previous convictions, Yue Dao doubts the authenticity of her words: "Take your temperature first when you get up."

After Lin Xingning got up, he was stared at to take his temperature. It was 38°C and he had a low-grade fever.

"Please take a leave of absence for tomorrow's club activities."

Yue Dao was a bit serious, Lin Xingning nodded guiltily: "Understood."

"Firefly, be gentle with the patient," Mingguang scolded Yuedao a little, and helped her out, "Hurry up and eat, Xingning remembers to take medicine later."

"Yes, brother!" Lin Xingning quickly hid behind the savior, pretending not to see Yue Dao's dissatisfied expression.

The next day, Lin Xingning didn't go out during the day, and went to the gym with Mingguang in the evening.When Yue Dao came, she said in hindsight: "I just said that today will be fine, and the temperature measurement in the afternoon is already normal!"

Yue Dao was so angry that she sneered, and she shut up aggrievedly.

During the game, Tsukishima poked his fingers and went to the side to find tape to bind his hands.

Lin Xingning naturally took out the tape and scissors from his coat pocket: "Let me do it."

"Thanks."

As the manager of the volleyball department, she has quite a lot of experience in this area, so she wrapped it up quickly, cut the tape with scissors, and pasted the last section.

Suddenly, Lin Xingning didn't even think about it, he lifted Yue Dao's hand and kissed him on his fingertips like a ghost: "The pain flew away."

Both of them froze in place.

"..."

"Wait...wait a minute! I'm sorry! But I can explain it!" Lin Xingning quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, his face was so red that he could bleed, and he was dying, "really, I can explain it."

Tsukishima lowered his head and clasped his hands, his ears flushed, and replied calmly, "Say it."

"I... my mother often had injections and infusions when she was in poor health," Lin Xingning stammered, "She is afraid of pain, so I would comfort her like this every time after an injection... conditioned reflex... yes, conditioned reflex!"

"I really didn't do it on purpose just now." She almost wondered if she had been robbed to do such a shameful thing, "I swear!"

"...Understood, don't worry about it." Tsukishima stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Huh? Oh." Lin Xingning watched him walk away, and buried his face in his knees.

[Don't be a fool! ! ! ]

Yue Dao hadn’t come back yet, so Ming Guang asked Lin Xingning, who was in a strange state, and went to the bathroom to find someone. He was surprised to find that his younger brother had washed his head with cold water: “It’s only been a round, is it so hot? Don’t catch a cold. "

"I know, it's okay." Tsukishima put on his glasses, feeling his fingertips kept getting hot.

Even though it was separated by tape, I clearly remembered the soft touch from the fingertips, as well as her light breathing when she got closer.

That guy...can't he just think about it before doing something?

"Are you really okay? Your face is very red, isn't it infected by Xingning?"

"……fine!"

After the game, since his mother hadn't come home yet, Ming Guang suggested, "Let's go to a nearby family restaurant for dinner?"

How can Lin Xingning have any objections, her mentality is in a mess, even if she was ridiculed by Yue as an idiot for what happened just now, what if she is regarded as a slut?And...and why did such a thing happen!

When the three of them walked to the entrance of the gymnasium, Mingguang suddenly found that something had been left behind, and asked the two of them to wait a while and go back to find it by themselves.

Even without looking at Lin Xingning's expression, Yue Dao clearly understood that what happened just now was just a pure mistake: "This is not the only stupid thing you did, don't worry about it."

"... Yue's consolation sounds so hurtful." She lowered her head and covered her hot face, not daring to meet Yue Dao's eyes.

"Speaking of, little friend Lin Xingning, are you 5 years old this year? Would you still say that?"

She retorted in a low voice: "Hmph! You should be the magic girl's spell to save the world!"

"Ah, is that so?" Yue Dao's tone was cool. It was unknown whether the magical girl could save the world, but she did save Lin Xingning, who was crying stupidly by herself many times.

"What are you doing?" Because she often quarreled with Tsukishima, she choked out habitually, "Can't you?"

The two people bickered back and forth as usual, and both avoided the specious kiss by coincidence.

When Mingguang came out, he pressed his head with each hand: "Don't quarrel!"

After returning home, Lin Xingning entered the room, kicked off the slippers and threw himself on the bed, burying his head under the pillow, still being so stupid that he couldn't believe it.

[Ah—I really am stupid——]

After venting her emotions, she took out the paper with the tree diagram from the drawer again. Even if the stupid thing about wrapping the tape is over, from Yue Dao's attitude, he can feel that he has a high tolerance for her of.

[That is to say, the probability of being disliked will decrease after the confession is rejected...]

After heaving a sigh of relief, he felt a little bit dissatisfied: [But...he didn't respond after kissing him... Tsukishima Hotaru is a big idiot! ]

"What's the matter, Xingning?" Ming Guang heard the last sentence after opening the door, and seeing her frightened face, explained, "I knocked on the door twice just now. I was a little worried about you, so I came in without permission."

"It's nothing..." Lin Xingning blushed, noticed that he was still holding the blueprint in his hand, and quickly hid behind him, "Brother, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm afraid you haven't completely subsided the fever yet, so take your temperature again."

"Oh well."

After Lin Xingning took his temperature in the living room, it was normal, and Mingguang put away the medicine box: "Yingying is still very worried about you. With yesterday's situation, I wouldn't have thought that you might be sick."

He thought of the quarrel between the two today, and explained for his younger brother: "That kid has an awkward personality and a bad mouth, but he is really a good boy. He is usually a little frank with you. In fact, he already regards Xingning as a family member. Don't worry about it." Think too much, well, take a shower early and go to rest."

"I know Yue didn't mean anything malicious," Lin Xingning nodded, "Then brother, I'll go back first."

"Ah."

Yue Dao came out of the shower, but was stopped by Ming Guang: "Xing Ning's body temperature was normal just now, and the fever should have completely subsided."

"Why are you telling me?"

Ming Guang lay down on the sofa: "Just think that I talk too much. Oh, our family is real, and none of the younger brothers and sisters can worry about it."

Yue Dao didn't expect her brother to feel that Lin Xingning was worried: "Didn't you say she was cute yesterday?"

"I just found out that Xingning might be in love?" Ming Guang remembered her blushing and hiding the paper, maybe it was a love letter?

"It doesn't matter if I'm in love with Yingying or not, but if my sister is in love, I have to go to college anyway... No, I can only do it after graduating from college!"

"Are you her father?"

"If I were, I would be better than her father..." Ming Guang complained, seeing Yue Dao's questioning eyes, "Don't worry about it so much, don't bully Xing Ning at ordinary times."

"When did I bully her..." Yue Dao himself felt a little guilty, and changed the subject, "Why is my brother so careful with that guy!"

"...Let's talk a little bit, don't tell mom what I told you," Mingguang added, and then lowered his voice, "I don't know because Hotaru went to the camp, and Xingning came to Japan alone. Seriously, as a father, would his daughter really care nothing if he went to live in another country? It's too irresponsible..."

Probably because of his brother's words, Yue Dao dreamed of Lin Xingning at night, sitting alone on the side of the road away from the crowd, expressionless, looking indifferent and alienated.She maintained that movement, staring straight ahead, not knowing what she saw, or maybe nothing entered her line of sight.

The Lin Xingning he was familiar with had always been optimistic and cheerful, with a smile on his lips and brows, a lot of talk, acting like a baby in a strange way, troublesome and annoying... not like this, like a puppet.

……

When Yue Dao went to wash up the next morning, he saw Lin Xingning brushing his teeth, so he couldn't help but look at her for a while longer.

She rinsed her mouth and spit out the bubbles in her mouth: "What's wrong?"

"……nothing."

Lin Xingning didn't quite understand why Yuedao was so weird in the morning, but she finally waited for this opportunity, cleared her throat with a cough, and imitated his tone: "Don't say 'nothing' with a face like 'what', it's very so annoying."

What a fire!

He tore off her hanging towel and pressed her face: "Wash your face."

"Hmm..." She took the towel and slapped his hands away, wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue at him.

Tsukishima looked down at her as she began to wash her face.

Sure enough, he is an annoying guy...
