[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

On the way to school the next day, Shankou learned that Lin Xingning could not go to school due to illness, and was a little nervous: "Is it serious?"

"Normally, if the fever subsides today, you can go to school tomorrow." After Tsukishima finished speaking, seeing Yamaguchi's relieved expression, "What do you think of Lin, Yamaguchi?"

"Huh? What do you think of it? She looks cute, studies well, is popular, has a cheerful personality, is very kind, serious and responsible... Maybe so?"

Tsukishima asked, "Then do you have romantic feelings for Lin?"

"Ah?! No...no." Yamaguchi was taken aback by his words, "Why Yue suddenly asked?"

"Why not?" Yue Dao couldn't figure it out, "Don't you think she has many advantages?"

On the contrary, he himself, when he mentioned Lin Xingning, all he thought of was trouble, talkativeness, road idiots, making himself angry all day in different ways...

"Well... how should I put it, Lin Sang is very kind to me," Yamaguchi scratched his head, "but Lin Sang always treats his friends around him in the same way, probably only to Yue who is a little special... so it is not likely to happen. Thoughts on that...

"So I know why I think you guys are weird recently," Yamaguchi suddenly realized, "Although the two of you used to be noisy, it can be seen that you have a good relationship, but recently you get along well, but it makes people feel a little cold.

"Did Yue have any trouble with Lin Sang recently?"

Tsukishima didn't know whether it counted or not, so he replied, "Probably."

Tsukishima was absent-minded throughout the day.

In addition, I slept too late last night, making me even more listless.It was okay in class, he has always been a top student, and he always looks lacking in energy, so the teacher didn't notice anything.It's just that Kageyama accused him of "jumping a little higher" during club activities.

After finishing the practice, Yue Dao washed his face by the pool, thinking about the "answer" that Lin Xingning said.

If it's like other things - those trivial and unimportant things like fireworks, he will reject Lin Xingning, he has always been used to this.

I am used to her always pestering me relentlessly, and then I am annoyed until I get a headache, and finally compromise with her stalking.

But he knew it was different this time, she wouldn't do that.

She would only accept the result with a smile, and then, like treating every "other", she would still take the initiative to greet him, not intentionally upset him, and grasp the boundaries between the two parties in a considerate and detached manner.

Even if there was a quarrel with him, he would give in quickly, and then said in a light tone: "Forget it, it's not an important thing."

Originally, Tsukishima couldn't figure out why he was unhappy with such an ending, since it should be a good time to get out of trouble.It wasn't until Yamaguchi told him today that he realized that if she changed her attitude, he would no longer be "special" to her...

"Yo Tsukishima," Sugawara also came to the pool to wash his face, greeted him, and teased him by the way, "Is Lin Jiang not here today, so you are particularly depressed?"

"No." He wiped his water-stained glasses and put them on, retorting subconsciously.

"Is that so?" Sugawara poured cold water on his head, shivering from the cold, "Wow, it's really getting colder...but if Lin-chan is here, it feels like you'll talk more than usual when you're resting."

Tsukishima replied habitually: "Because that guy is too troublesome."

Seeing that there was no one else around, Sugawara couldn't help but looked at him with a smile: "I think... Tsukishima finds Lin-chan troublesome because he cares about her so much, so he feels that every move of the other party is affecting him?"

"……Have it?"

"Just say it casually, don't care about it," Sugawara said so far, brushed his wet hair twice, and was about to go back to the gym, but turned around before leaving, "Actually, I always think that being not frank is not a shortcoming, but, face How about being a little more honest with yourself?

"Take it as a little complaint from the seniors."

Sugawara left first, and Tsukishima stood there for a while, until Yamaguchi called him, "Yue, are you okay?"

"immediately."

That idiot, who has so many reasons to be gloomy, withdrawn, and rebellious, still laughs every day and chirps like a summer sparrow.

It's different from him, and he doesn't understand it.

He didn't like trouble, he didn't like noise, he didn't like idiots, and he didn't like it either... She always kept her unhappiness hidden.

He prefers words like quiet, simple, and smart.

But when she blushed and said she liked her, why did she feel happy after being surprised?Obviously she doesn't have the elements that he likes, obviously she is troublesome as hell, obviously... For her, she is just used to it.

It's just like this, why can't you make a decision?

……

Tsukishima took out a coin from his pocket and made an agreement with himself in a low voice: "Accept heads, and reject tails."

With a soft "ding", the coin flew into the sky, fell, and was firmly caught.

"...Sure enough, only that idiot can't catch it." He whispered unconsciously.

Then see the coin with the palm facing up.

At that moment, Tsukishima clearly felt in his heart, and had the idea of ​​throwing it again.

I felt that I wanted another answer even more.

impossible!He wouldn't like to--

Lin Xingning's red eyes and tears suddenly appeared in his mind...

——Such a troublesome guy.

"Ah..." Tsukishima covered his eyes with the back of his hand and sighed long.

With a little unwillingness, and a little helplessness.

"You win……"

Tsukishima returned home, changed his shoes at the entrance, and walked into the living room.

"Has Ying come back? Go and wake Xingning up first, and have dinner together when your brother comes back." Yuedao's mother told him in the kitchen.

"it is good."

He didn't knock on the door this time, just pushed the door open and walked in. Her room was quiet, and the night light was still on.

Perhaps a little light in the silent darkness can always confuse people. Last time too, he touched Lin Xingning's cheek lightly for some reason, and found that her body temperature was on the high side. He woke up the next second, with surprise and bewilderment , woke people up.

Lin Xingning heard someone calling him, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"Get up and get ready for dinner."

"Hmm..." She sat up, eyes still open.

"Sleeping all afternoon, won't you be unable to sleep at night?"

"The fever-reducing medicine contains sleeping pills, so I feel very sleepy after taking the medicine." The other party sat on his bed. Lin Xingning was unconscious just now. At first, he thought it was Yue Dao's mother, and rubbed his eyes to see the person clearly, "Yue? I'll be up right away..."

She held her face to wake up for a while, and found that Yue Dao hadn't left, staring at herself: "Is there anything else?"

"It's okay." He looked away.

"...Then I have to change clothes."

Hearing this, Yue Dao stood up and suddenly bent down to get closer to her, their foreheads touching.

Lin Xingning was so frightened that he woke up, subconsciously dodged back and hit the wall with the back of his head: "It hurts...why?"

"See if your fever has subsided." Tsukishima patted her head. Through this small test, he probably understood that the reason why he was avoided yesterday was that he frightened her because of his sudden movements, so he relieved a little. Nervous emotion, "Change clothes."

Then he left, closing the door behind him.

She was bewildered.

Lin Xingning changed his clothes and went out of the room, and was told by Yuedao's mother to take his body temperature. The body temperature was normal. After all, it was a fever caused by catching a cold, and it was not as difficult to recover from a virus.

"Since the fever has subsided, don't take medicine after dinner. Xingning should exercise more in the future. His body is too weak."

"Exercise..." Upon hearing this, Lin Xingning felt that his illness might not be cured yet.

Yue Dao brought home homework for her: "The head teacher said that you don't have to hand in your homework tomorrow."

"Oh." She took the handout and homework, and saw that his expression was normal. If it wasn't for the dull pain in the back of his head, he would have suspected that the forehead touch temperature test just now was a hallucination caused by illness...it must be a hallucination, right?In fact, the pain in the back of the head was also caused by an accidental bump?

When Mingguang arrived home, the four of them had finished their meal. Lin Xingning had almost slept all day, feeling a little uncomfortable all over, and asked Yuedao's mother, "Auntie, do you want to go for a walk together?"

"I'm going to Mrs. Sakaguchi's house next door later. If Xingning wants to go for a walk, let Mingguang accompany you?" Tsukishima's mother knows that Tsukishima and her relationship are usually better, but won't he specially accompany the girl when he comes here? People who go out for a walk, and secondly, they seem to have had a quarrel recently.

"Forget it, I'll go alone, my brother has been working very hard recently."

"It's getting dark, isn't it okay?"

Lin Xingning walked towards the entrance and replied, "It's okay, I'll just walk around."

Yue Dao's mother wanted to say something, but she saw Yue Dao walking towards the entrance: "I'll go with her."

"Eh?" Tsukishima's mother was surprised, "Firefly is so active today."

Saying goodbye to Tsukishima's mother, the two of them changed their shoes and walked out of the yard, on their way to school as usual.

After all, Lin Xingning is not really an idiot, and he already knows the reason why the other party went for a walk with him: "Yue Hui followed me out for a walk because she had something to say to me, right?"

Tsukishima coughed dryly twice, and replied somewhat unnaturally: "Yesterday's answer."

She lowered her head and kicked the pebbles on the road, "So, Yue has made up his mind?"

"Yes……"

Lin Xingning stopped. She originally wanted to struggle to the death, and wanted to say that she still had many advantages, but she swallowed all the words. It's meaningless to force such a thing... She rubbed her face and exhaled: "Let's talk about it then."

"Then..." Yue Dao lowered his eyes, instead of facing her, he looked towards the side of the road, "Do you want to date me?"

It wasn't any answer that Lin Xingning expected, she didn't even realize what it meant for a while, she was stunned for more than ten seconds: "Eh?

"Wait a minute..." She translated that sentence into Chinese in her heart and then translated it back again. After thinking for a while, she confirmed with Yue Dao uncertainly, "Is what Yue said meant what I understood?"

"What do you understand?" Tsukishima's ears were already red, but he still managed to maintain a serious expression.

"It's just...the meaning of liking each other and not liking others..." Lin Xingning blushed more and more as he spoke, covering his face, "Why did you say this while walking!"

"Should I go home and tell?"

That's right, Lin Xingning asked another question: "But...why?"

Where do so many questions come from?Wouldn't it be good to promise at this time?Mingming just said that he likes him not long ago... Tsukishima covered his mouth as if he was about to cough: "What why? What do you think the answer will be?"

She thought for a while, and replied: "Thank you for your liking, but I'm sorry, but I still can't accept your wishes... something like that?"

"Huh?" Tsukishima felt that she was really thinking too much, "If it was you, I would just say 'I refuse', right?"

"Too……"

"So why do you think you'll be rejected?"

Lin Xingning replied very self-aware: "Because I am annoying, road-crazed, like to think about things, always confronting Yue to make you angry, and sometimes I have to report you to my aunt..."

Speaking of which, she herself was a little bit speechless.

"...So you know it too."

Lin Xingning hummed lightly, then turned to look to the side.

"It's not that I didn't know this before I asked you..." Yue Dao complained in a low voice, obviously very nervous, but still pretended to ask impatiently, "What about the reply?"

"Okay... okay." After Lin Xingning replied, he hesitated and said, "Then...please give me some advice?"

"hand."

"what?"

He repeated it again, and Lin Xingning stretched out both hands: "What's wrong with your hands?"

Yue Dao took her left hand, held it in his hand, turned to look at the other side, and pretended nothing happened: "... let's go."

Lin Xingning felt dizzy, his heart was bubbling non-stop, and he followed for a long time before he remembered: "No, the question Yue asked me just now is different from the previous reply, right?"

Tsukishima avoided her gaze and question, and replied vaguely, "Isn't it the same?"

Seeing his embarrassed and shy look, Lin Xingning suddenly thought about it: "Is that so? Was it because you liked me that month that you asked me if I wanted to date?"

"……Um."

"Why did you admit it so bluntly? In Yue's case, shouldn't you say something like 'no' and 'you think too much'?!" Lin Xingning couldn't help blushing, and finally covered her face and complained, "What are you doing!"

"...Then which one do you want to hear?" Tsukishima looked at her a little angrily, "Since I'm shy, don't ask such a question."

"Who is shy, I have a fever and the fever has not subsided!"

"is it?"

Ming Guang was half lying on the sofa watching TV, heard a noise in the entrance, looked up and saw Lin Xingning and Yue Dao came back: "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Lin Xingning chatted with Ming Guang for a while, and asked Yue Dao, "Do you want to do homework together?"

"..." Mingguang once again recalled the fear of being dominated by the academic atmosphere, "Can you write in the room?"

"No...not good," Lin Xingning blushed suddenly, "Just write in the living room!"

Ming Guang compromised and went back to his room, and the two sat face to face at the dining table again.

After Lin Xingning wrote two questions, he thought something was wrong, so he took the things on the table and moved them to the edge of Yuedao to sit next to each other.

After 2 minutes, I took my things and sat back.

Seeing the small math paper that she didn't write a single question in 2 minutes, Yue Dao lowered her head and coughed lightly twice to cover the upturned corners of her mouth.
