[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

So for the first time there was a real quarrel between the two.

Originally, their quarrel could only be regarded as a non-emotional bickering, and it was fine after the quarrel was over, and there was no need for the process of reconciliation, but recently they clearly felt their unhappy attitude towards each other.

The war without gunpowder lasted for nearly a week. Yamaguchi was surrounded by low air pressure on the way to and from school every day.

"That guy just became angry from embarrassment." Yue Dao felt that he had just said what the other party was thinking.

"Yue said something beyond the mark!" Lin Xingning said angrily, and she accepted the confession when she was rejected, and she didn't say anything!

Yamaguchi felt that there was no solution to this problem, and walked out of the classroom with a big head, preparing to go downstairs to buy lunch.

"Yamaguchi!" Watanabe said hello when he saw Yamaguchi's back as soon as he arrived at the door of Class 4 classroom.

"It's Watanabe, what's the matter?" Yamaguchi turned around.

"Yes...that's how it is. Can Yamaguchi call Lin Sang for me..."

By the bench behind the teaching building, Watanabe handed Lin Xingning a paper bag: "This... This is a gift from before, because I didn't know what to give, I asked classmate Natsume, and she said that you want Shiratorizawa's test questions... My family's second Brother goes to school in Shiratorizawa, I made a photocopy..."

Such a gift in return was a bit strange, but it was the only gift Watanabe could think of that the other party would like and that would not cause her pressure.

"...Thank you." Lin Xingning didn't know what to say.

"Also... and," Watanabe blushed, "I am also very grateful to Lin Sang for being my friend and taking the initiative to say hello to me during this time... I... I like you very much!"

After she found out that she likes Yue Dao, she pushed herself towards others, and felt more guilty about rejecting other people's feelings, but she could only answer: "Thank you, but... I have someone who cares more now, so I am very sorry."

Unlike the nervousness just now, Watanabe was relieved after being rejected, he said without surprise: "Sure enough, I will be rejected~

"But Lin Sang doesn't need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong, it's just that I want to tell you," he was a little embarrassed, "Even if you know, you will be rejected—but if you don't say it, Lin Sang will never Knowing what I mean, thinking about it this way, I still feel a little bit unwilling."

As usual, the two of them were on their way home without talking, Yue Dao looked back at Lin Xingning who had stopped for no reason, and asked sullenly, "Aren't you going home?"

"moon……"

"what?"

Lin Xingning felt her heart beating fast, she read silently for a while, and made up her mind: "I—"

"I love Moon! Very, very much!"

Yue Dao was stunned for more than ten seconds, his heart was like the morning dew dripping on the tip of the branches and leaves on the water surface, causing a layer of ripples.

Lin Xingning has no experience in liking others, but Watanabe's words made her feel the same way. If you like someone for a long time and the other person doesn't even know about it, isn't it more sad than being rejected?

But she still couldn't accept the result of being rejected, before Tsukishima opened her mouth——

"Don't reply me!" Lin Xingning suddenly said, and then repeated it with a guilty conscience, "Yue doesn't reply to me...

"I just, I just want to tell you, nothing else." After she stuttered, she immediately changed the subject, "Then, shall we go home?"

Even though it was a confession scene, it could be so irritating, Yue Dao hadn't figured out what she was feeling just now, and felt dissatisfied with her words, frowning: "Are you here to quarrel?"

"Did anyone confess to the quarrel?"

"Confession? Isn't your notification just now?" He became more and more unhappy, "Since you don't need my reply, wouldn't it be different if you didn't tell me?"

"I want Yue to know that Yue is very good, excellent, caring, gentle, good at learning sports, and always handsome...so he deserves to be liked by others." Lin Xingning looked at him stubbornly. What I said just now was a little angry.

The two stared at each other for a while.

Then one turned to look at the grass on the side of the road, the other turned to the other side, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed twice.

"go home."

"……Oh."

The two went home one after the other, their faces were a little red.

The next day, Yue Dao finally understood what Lin Xingning meant by "just to tell you", and she just pretended that nothing happened the day before, and everything went on as usual.

On the way to school, she also explained very intimately: "Because Yue already knows that I like you, so I will keep a good distance between the two in the future, and will not make any moves that misunderstand you."

... Is there a problem with this logic?

Yamaguchi didn't notice the subtle changes between the two, but he could feel that they stopped arguing.

During the lunch break, Yamaguchi had dinner with Tsukishima as usual, and he was in a good mood: "Have Yue and Lin Sang reconciled?"

Yue Dao didn't answer, but thoughtfully: "What do you mean when you say you don't need to reply when you confess?"

"Ah?" He was not surprised when a girl confessed to Tsukishima, but it was the first time Tsukishima asked his opinion, and Yamaguchi was a little confused, "Is this... a love talk?"

"...No." Yue Dao also realized that he asked a strange question, "It's just a random question, don't pay attention."

After a while, Yamaguchi hesitated and said, "It depends on the character of the other party, right? Since it's a girl's mood, how about asking Lin Sang?"

"No, eat!"

Throughout the day, including at home, Lin Xingning kept his promise and consciously kept a distance between the two parties. In the past, if he asked him for help with anything, he would always say half coquettishly and half flatteringly: "Please, please~ Month is the best~"

Now it is very polite and polite:

"If it's convenient, Yue, can you help me? Thank you very much."

Yue Dao almost wondered if her so-called confession was a pretense of preparing to have nothing to do with him forever.

But... Fortunately, she said that she didn't need to reply, and he didn't know how to reply.There is no way to directly refuse, because her listless and sad appearance will be troublesome and annoying.But if you accept it...do you like her...

impossible!

At most, it's just, a little... the mood of treating small pets.

There was a knock on the door of the room, and Mingguang shouted, "Firefly, you can take a bath."

Tsukishima opened the door: "Got it, I'll go right away."

"Speaking of which, did Yingying quarrel with Xingning today?"

"No." They had been arguing for the previous week, but today was considered "reconciled".

"Really? It feels like Xingning wanted to cling to you more in the past," Ming Guang was quite pleased with the good relationship between his younger siblings, "That may be my illusion~"

Mingguang was about to go back to the room, but was stopped by Yuedao again: "Brother..."

His eyes wandered, and he asked embarrassingly: "A girl said she likes you, but she doesn't need to reply, what does that mean?"

"Well... there will be such a situation," my younger brother rarely discussed related issues with me, Ming Guang pondered for a while and gave the answer, "Probably because he likes the other party's appearance and other external factors, but because the other party's personality is too bad, so I don't want to I mean I don't want to date.

"There are other possibilities too~" Mingguang patted Yuedao on the shoulder to show comfort, "Has my brother been confessed by a girl? My brother supports you! But you can't let Xingning know, don't spoil her~"

He smiled and went back to his room.

Yue Dao recalled how Lin Xingning said with a smile, "Yue has a bad personality~"——

"Tsk!"

During the physical education class on the second day, during free time, Natsume pulled Lin Xingning, Hiyori, and Oshima to sit on the outdoor stairs and talk: "You should be fine this weekend, right?"

Oshima and Hiyori replied: "Cram school."

Lin Xingning replied: "Society activities."

"Sunday, Xingning, your club activities are only on Saturday, right? Don't lie to me, there are still two months left for the final match, and you haven't reached the intensity of practicing for two days on the weekend. Besides, it doesn't matter if the manager doesn't participate."

Under Xia Mu's gaze, Lin Xingning compromised: "...then I'm fine."

Natsume found out about Oshima's and Hiyori's tutoring time, and they all met her appointment time, so she pointed the finger at Lin Xingning, the only seedling: "Weekend friendship, shall we go?"

Lin Xingning's eyes wandered: "Well, I...my brother in my family doesn't allow me to fall in love too early!"

"Eh? Is Tsukishima-kun's brother? Going to a fellowship doesn't necessarily mean you're in love, right?" Natsume put her hands on her hips, "And Xingning didn't go out with us during the summer vacation, and he said he was good friends with us, it hurts too much." Heartbroken..."

Natsume held Oshima's hand exaggeratedly and began to perform a one-man show: "Oh! Xiaoya, you don't need to comfort me, I know, everything is my fault..."

"...well, I know, I'll go."

Natsume stopped immediately: "Don't be late~"

After dinner in the evening, Lin Xingning helped Yuedao's mother wash the dishes: "Auntie, I will go out in the morning the day after tomorrow. I won't be back for lunch. I will be home before dinner."

"Going out to play? It's okay, if you call me in advance when you come back late, I will give you a meal." Tsukishima's mother asked, "Are you going with Yingying?"

"No, with friends."

"Eh? That's it." Putting the washed dishes into the dish rack, Mama Tsukishima wiped her hands with her apron, "Is it far away? It might not be safe to go home alone at night. I'll ask Mingguang to go to the station then." I'll pick you up."

"No need, I'll go home as soon as possible." Lin Xingning thought silently, it's best to come back after lunch.

However, I still... can't help but think a little bit, what will Yue do if he finds out?

"Then have fun then~"

"Huh? Well I will."

Not happy at all!

Lin Xingning kept smiling until he felt that his facial muscles were a little stiff, and dealt with the second-year boy Shiratorizawa that Natsume specially found for her on the opposite seat: "Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom first."

That's right, she is indeed capable of making friends, but her main advantage lies in being proactive and having a cheerful personality. This is based on the fact that she simply does not consider the gender of the other party, and she is really not very capable of dealing with this kind of purposeful form of making friends.

She put down the toilet lid and sat down to think how she could get home sooner.

"Xing Ning, you stayed in the bathroom for a long time, come out soon~" Natsume came to the bathroom to find her.

Lin Xingning opened the cubicle door with a look of lovelessness: "Youxi, I really don't get used to it."

"It's just making friends~ cheer up!" Natsume pulled her to the sink and helped her tidy her hair. "Let's deal with it today. What kind of boy does Xingning like? Next time I can help you find out." oh!"

No, I don't want to come next time either, Lin Xingning forced a smile on his face and followed Natsume back.

The second-year boy in Shiratorizawa is called Inoue Hidesuke. When he saw her come back, he actively searched for a topic: "Just now Natsume-chan said that Lin-chan is the manager of the men's volleyball team. Our school's men's volleyball team is quite good in the county. Woolen cloth."

"I know, it can be said to be the number one in the county."

The topic of volleyball didn’t last long, because Inoue himself didn’t play volleyball and didn’t usually pay attention to the corresponding activities, so he was going to turn to hobbies: “Does Lin Jiang have any hobbies?”

Lin Xingning answered honestly: "I usually like to do math problems."

"This...that's it," Inoue didn't expect such a miraculous answer, and was a little overwhelmed for a while, "It's quite rare. I thought it would be a more literary hobby, such as watching movies and painting."

"I'm not very interested in this aspect." Although she has no networking experience, she is smart and tactfully cut off the topic.After all, if you answer casually which one you are interested in, it will be troublesome for the other party to accept the suggestion of when to watch a movie or an art exhibition together.

"...This...is this..."

Lin Xingning finally made it to the end of lunch, and the four men and four women who participated in the friendship came out of the coffee shop. Before she could say "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something at home", Natsume happily announced the next location: "Together Let's go to karaoke~"

Inoue suddenly pointed to the top of Lin Xingning's head: "There is something on Lin Jiang's hair."

Lin Xingning grabbed a handful reflexively: "Is there any more?"

"It's still there, let me do it." Inoue reached out to help her remove it, but when he was about to touch it, Lin Xingning was pulled back and staggered two steps.

He raised his head subconsciously, and saw a boy with short yellow hair and glasses, who smiled and said to himself:

"Sorry, stay away from my sister."
