[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

A little after 9:[-] p.m., Tsukishima came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and saw Mingguang brushing his teeth: "Brother."

"Oh," Ming Guang replied, spitting out the foam in his mouth, "Going to sleep? Remember to dry your hair."

"...I'm not some idiot."

"You won't be popular with girls if you have such a bad attitude~"

Yue Dao didn't answer this sentence: "I'm going back, good night, brother."

"Good night."

Yue Dao went upstairs and found Lin Xingning squatting in front of her room door. She was wrapped in a thin blanket covering her head and whole body, feeling quite homeless and begging for shelter.

"Why don't you go in and wait?"

"Didn't I miss Yue's birthday, here's a present for you," she stood up grabbing the blanket, and handed him an exquisite paper box, "Although it's two days late, happy birthday."

"Well, thank you." Yue Dao originally wanted to stay with her for a while, seeing how she was about to go back to the room, he could only forget it.

"Oh, by the way," Lin Xingning turned back. She was a little unnatural when she was giving the gift just now, but now she looked even more sneaky, with erratic eyes when she spoke, "There is still something to do."

"Huh?" Seeing her gesture to get closer, Tsukishima leaned over without knowing why.

Then Lin Xingning tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek: "Good night."

After speaking, he ran back to the room at a speed of [-] meters and quickly closed the door.

Hearing the sound of "bang", Yue Dao seemed to understand what happened just now, recalling her blushing just now, and that gentle kiss like a butterfly's wings brushing: "...what?"

He unconsciously covered his face with the back of his hand, and felt his ears become hot... Why did he blush... It was just... a goodnight kiss...

Depressing the shy emotions, and a little bit unable to control the joyful mood.

In the end, Tsukishima thought desperately, so what if he was led by the nose by that idiot, after all... his girlfriend.

When I calmed down and went back to the room, I opened the late birthday present. Inside the box was a thin leaf-shaped metal bookmark carved with veins, with a thin chain attached to the handle, and a bell in the shape of a hollow star at the end. .

There will be a small and crisp sound when shaking.

No matter which country, sending a bookmark should have no special meaning. Tsukishima put it in the book he read often, watched the bell hanging on the spine of the book, and plucked it with his hands.

"...Then I will accept it."

The two went to school together the next day, and Yamaguchi was relieved when he saw Lin Xingning. Even if Yuedao explained that she was only returning to China because of something at home, the boy couldn't help but imagine the unexpected plots that would appear in various soap operas.

The reason why a dog blood plot is a dog blood plot is because it happens often.

Went to the gymnasium for morning exercise, Xigu saw Lin Xingning coming, and was very excited: "Lin Jiang is back!" As usual, he raised his hand and waited for her to high-five her.

"Good morning, Senior Xiaogu." Lin Xingning wanted to give Xigu a high-five, but Yuedao caught him just as he raised his hand.

"No."

"...Huh?" Lin Xingning was in a daze, he hadn't minded about this before, and... what did he say at school!

"Ah! Are you acting like a boyfriend at this time? Damn it! My daughter!"

Tanaka also joined the criticism/fighting meeting: "It's too arrogant! It's just a first-year student!"

On the surface, Tsukishima accepted the criticism modestly, as if embarrassed: "Yes, I'm really sorry, but I can't."

"Ahh! It's so hot!"

In the end, Sawamura held down the two people who didn't warm up well, turned around and reprimanded Tsukishima: "Go to practice!"

"Yes."

Seeing Lin Xingning sniggering beside her, Qing Shui teased her: "It's such a good relationship~"

She pinched her red ears and replied in a low voice: "Well, yes~"

After entering October, the practice of the volleyball team began to increase in intensity. In addition to the independent practice after the practice, additional training began on Sundays.

Both the independent practice and the extra training on Sundays have no requirements for the manager. In addition to the well-known reasons of the volleyball club, Lin Xingning usually follows wherever Tsukishima goes.

"Then see you tomorrow~"

Sugawara waved goodbye to Lin Xingning, watching her follow in Tsukishima's footsteps.

Hinata also saw it: "Is Tsukishima going to his brother's team to practice? Lin Sang really followed."

Kageyama began to think: "So it's like this, if you're in love, can you have a manager to follow you..."

"What are you thinking! You can't find a girl to fall in love with just because someone throws the ball for you!" Sugawara interrupted him hastily.

Kageyama was told out of his mind, and embarrassingly denied: "How...how could it be!"

Because of something, Mingguang arrived at the Municipal Gymnasium a little later than usual today, saw Lin Xingning and Yuedao walking in front, his younger sister looked down at something, and was about to say hello, when he saw his younger brother suddenly help her brush the long hair that had slipped from her cheek behind the ear.

Ming Guang froze on the spot with half-raised hands.

Maybe for some boys who are a little frivolous or always too gentle on weekdays, such a small gesture is nothing, but that is his younger brother!Don't talk about such a small gesture of intimacy, even if he is standing with a girl, he will try to avoid direct contact with his brother!

During this day's practice, Mingguang lost his mind many times and was obviously out of shape.During the intermission, Tsukishima was forced to accompany him to the bathroom, and there was a conversation between men.

"What are you doing?" Tsukishima frowned—even though he was an older brother, it seemed strange that two big men went to the bathroom together.

"Recently...do you have a good relationship with Xingning?" Has this dull brother finally discovered the relationship between the two?

"Yeah," Tsukishima admitted bluntly, "Didn't my brother always think that I have a good relationship with her?"

"No, I mean," Ming Guang looked around and lowered his voice, "You and Xing Ning..."

The following words were not complete, but the meaning was already obvious, Yue Dao pretended to be calm and nodded: "Yes."

"Sure enough... I said that Yingying's usual cold attitude towards girls won't work. You need to be more gentle, otherwise it's easy to scare them away..."

Yue Dao remembered what he said before, and complained: "Didn't my brother say before that he doesn't support her not being able to fall in love before work?"

Ming Guang replied seriously: "I've thought about it carefully. Compared with those unreliable boys from other families, our younger brother is still very good. I will support you!"

"Support is unnecessary..."

"Your attitude is not good, you must take the initiative to chase girls!"

and many more.

"...Why am I chasing that idiot?"

The two brothers looked at each other.

Ming Guang asked: "Aren't you in love with Xing Ning secretly?"

"……what?"

"Isn't it?"

This made Tsukishima say: "No."

"Ah, is that so?" Ming Guang scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's my misunderstanding... Eh, no, then what do you think I said just now?"

"..." Yue Dao didn't even want to complain.

No, his younger brother would never do that to a girl he doesn't like. Even if he likes a girl, this kind of behavior is too active. Wait a minute...

"Are you...are you dating?"

"Cough...Let's forget it."

"Eh? Eh?!" Ming Guang asked, "Then why did you—"

No, looking back now, the signs are obvious. Lin Xingning, who has been finishing her homework at school, is now going home to do her homework with Yue Dao, and Yue Dao will go jogging with her for half an hour, so not only are they dating, but they already have It's been a while!

Ming Guang hadn't gotten over the sadness of being betrayed by his younger siblings, Yue Dao added: "So brother, don't touch Lin's head all the time."

"……it is good."
