[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

"...Probably so."

Everyone finally understood the truth of the matter, and by the way heard the rumors that were widely circulated in the first grade, and were rushed by Sawamura to warm up.

Lin Xingning felt awkward standing on the sidelines, so he asked Qing Shui: "Senior Qing Shui, is there anything I can do for you?"

Qing Shui replied with a smile: "It's okay, don't be so cautious."

"Ok."

"However, what Sugawara said also reminded me that it is indeed time to invite a newcomer to join the club as a manager... Does Lin Jiang know anything about volleyball?"

Lin Xingning shook his head: "No, I used to spend most of my time studying and rarely exercised."

"Then are you interested?" Shimizu said kindly, "Although our team is a bit strange, everyone is very capable and enthusiastic. Since Lin Jiang will come here often to wait for Tsukishima-kun to come home, it's just a good time to get to know him. Try it."

"Okay." Lin Xingning nodded. After all, there is no need to study late until 09:30. Studying is not so stressful. It is good to learn more about other things.

"Senior Shimizu is talking kindly to others, oh! This holy smile!"

"Tanaka! Come here and warm up! Don't miss out!" Sugawara yelled, turned his head and looked at the other side, "And Hinata, warm up well and don't stare at Lin Sang."

Hinata blushed in response, retracted her gaze and stretched her body.

Tsukishima naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to ridicule: "Do you like this type?"

"That's not it!" Although she was indeed cute, Hinata added silently in her heart, "Even if she is a girl, Lin Sang is still very small."

Kageyama nodded in agreement: "The visual estimate is around 155."

Sugawara quickly stopped: "Stop talking! It's very rude!"

Their voices were not too low, and Lin Xingning heard it, but she didn't care much about her height, and she replied by the way: "It's only 153, and it's about 155 if you wear shoes."

Hinata and Kageyama were overheard when they gossip about others, and they were too embarrassed to reply.

As the head of the team, Sawamura apologized on their behalf: "Sorry."

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Lin Xingning smiled and waved his hands, and followed Qingshui to the equipment storage.

Hinata was a little surprised: "As Tsukishima's friend, I thought he would have a worse personality."

Kageyama agreed.

"What does it mean to be my friend?"

Tanaka interjected: "I also think it's a good thing that Tsukishima can make friends with a character like Tsukishima. She's still such a cute girl!"

A hashtag appeared on Tsukishima's forehead.

"Yue, don't be angry~"

"Stop talking! The earth is going to be angry!"

This sentence has a miraculous effect. Everyone immediately shut up and concentrate on warming up.

Qingshui explained to Lin Xingning roughly how to use the equipment and its usefulness in the equipment room. When he returned to the court, coach Wu Yang had already arrived, and officially started the practice of smashing and catching the ball.

Qing Shui went to pass the ball to coach Wuyang, and Lin Xingning helped pick it up on the sidelines.

Sawamura thanked: "I'm sorry to trouble you, come to visit and help pick up the ball."

"It's okay, I'm fine anyway."

After the serving practice, there was a 6-on-6 confrontation match. Lin Xingning followed Qingshui to get the scoreboard and scored on the sidelines.

Her impression of volleyball scoring is probably that "hit to the opposite court without going out of bounds", and she consulted with Shimizu about some special situations, and started to be a scorer seriously.

The feeling of the confrontation match is still different from that of ordinary practice. During the match, everyone on the court is more concentrated. Whether it is running, waiting or jumping, they are very clean and neat.The connection of various actions and the cooperation between teammates are perfectly seamless.

Playing time difference, multiple offensive methods, communication and cooperation, whether it is smashing, blocking, or catching and saving the ball, it is full of excitement and tension, which is dazzling.

Seeing her nervous, surprised, and excited expression, Shimizu smiled and asked, "Is our team great?"

"Hmm!" Lin Xingning's eyes sparkled.

After the stretching exercise after practice, the boys went to the rest room to change their clothes after the gymnasium was cleaned up. Lin Xingning stood at the entrance of the gymnasium and waited for Tsukishima and Yamaguchi.

Hinata came out first after changing clothes, and greeted her excitedly after seeing her: "Is Lin Sang coming to be our manager?"

"I need to learn more, read some books on how to get started with volleyball," Lin Xingning smiled sheepishly, "My athletic ability is very poor, if I don't even have theoretical knowledge, it will be over."

"As long as you like volleyball, you can definitely do well!"

"But it's the first time for me to watch a volleyball game at such a close distance!" Lin Xingning was a little excited, "My previous school only paid attention to learning, and there were very few sports and art courses, and everyone didn't spend extra time on sports. Mostly boys I will play basketball for a while before evening self-study.

"Just now I saw everyone jumping up, smashing, catching the ball like that during the game, and the way they focused was really handsome and charming! It seemed to be shining!"

Hinata was praised until she blushed: "It's not that powerful..."

"Of course it's not that powerful." Yingshan also came out, just in time to hear the second half, and made up the knife coldly, "After all, you made too many mistakes."

"...Kageyama is really heartbreaking."

The two quarreled a few more words, said goodbye to Lin Xingning, and left in a rowdy fight.

The rest of the volleyball club also passed by one after another, saying goodbye to her.

Tsukishima and Yamaguchi walked at the back, and Yamaguchi asked friendlyly, "How did Lin Sang feel about visiting today?"

"Great! Very happy!"

"That's fine~"

"See you tomorrow~"

Saying goodbye to Shankou at the intersection, Yue Dao and Lin Xingning became alone.

Before he put on the earphones, Lin Xingning quickly asked, "Does Yue want to chat?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Well—" she stated as if it was a matter of course, "If we want to chat, we will talk, and if we don't want to chat, we won't talk."

After finishing speaking, he added: "If Yue doesn't want to chat, but I try to find a topic so that the two parties are not so awkward, it will be even more embarrassing."

With a blunt and even a bit aggressive character, Tsukishima sighed: "Then what are you going to talk about?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." After she finished speaking, she said "haha" twice in embarrassment.

"what?"

Lin Xingning looked at Yuedao's dissatisfaction, but he suddenly realized: "The moon gives people a sense of impermeability."

He asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

"That's right, the kind that doesn't know how to express your feelings most of the time."

"Is there any use in expressing your feelings?"

"Let others know what you think, what you like and what you dislike, you have to say it before others will know."

"Really?" Tsukishima's tone clearly expressed disapproval.

"But everyone has different habits." Lin Xingning did not argue, "Because everyone has different personalities and preferences, so everyone has a unique charm, right?"

Tsukishima was noncommittal, put on the headset and said that he didn't want to chat.

Lin Xingning hummed a little tune in a low voice, as he said before, he didn't force himself to find a topic, and the two went home peacefully.

"We're back~" Lin Xingning reported energetically as soon as he entered the door.

"Welcome home~" Yuedao's mother asked, "Go wash your hands first and prepare to eat. How is Xingning feeling at school today?"

"Students and teachers are very easy to get along with, and I visited the volleyball club today~" Lin Xingning quickly changed his shoes and walked into the room.

When Tsukishima entered, she and his mother were chatting about school with his mother while helping to serve miso soup in the kitchen.

He listened to a paragraph and roughly talked about some new friends and the practice content of the volleyball club. Some content related to him was skipped.

Tsukishima was a little surprised by the other party's carefulness, because he didn't know if he would let his mother know about his school affairs, so he skipped it?

After eating, Tsukishima silently went back to his room to do his homework. About an hour later, he heard a knock on the door.

Lin Xingning shouted through the door: "Yue, you can go take a shower. By the way, can you lend me any books on volleyball fundamentals?"

"Understood, wait a moment." As a gift without making a small report, he took a book on volleyball from the shelf, and when he opened the door, he found that she had already showered and had her hair, but the hair had not been completely dried, and she looked still. Feels a bit damp.

Lin Xingning took the book, thanked her and said she would return it as soon as possible, then turned and went back to the guest room—it was her room now.

Tsukishima looked at each other's back for a while. Although the two have different personalities, if they are smart people who know how to keep a certain distance, it is acceptable to be in the same space.

As the time spent together increased, Lin Xingning discovered that Yue Dao was actually a gentle and considerate person in essence. Although he often acted like he was not easy to get along with and kept away from strangers, most of the time he was not really angry when he blew up, so he seemed to have discovered something. Just like fun, often testing back and forth on the edge of his anger.

As for Yue Dao, the "proper sense of distance and carefulness" that Lin Xingning showed before gradually disappeared, and gradually showed a troublesome and annoying side.So he stopped pretending to be friendly, and started to tease and tease her, and then the two of them's IQ plummeted and quarreled like elementary school students...

Due to language issues, Lin Xingning lost more than he won, and sometimes he would go to Yuedao's mother in front of him to complain about these trivial matters.

Tsukishima used to only listen to Yamaguchi's random thoughts, but now there is an extra "Little Follower No. 2"-she is an out-and-out chatterbox, keen to chat, and her thinking is extremely divergent, especially nonsense-it is really annoying It's okay.

At the same time, Lin Xingning officially joined the volleyball club and became Wuye's second club manager for a while.

She always works very hard on the things she is responsible for. She has been conscientious since she started her position as a manager. In addition to chores, she also makes daily training minutes. The only problem is that there are still a lot of Chinese content in her writing, which needs to be translated again.

Tsukishima turned on the mocking mode: "Sure enough, I still have to learn Japanese well."

Lin Xingning was a little embarrassed, but also angrily retorted: "I write Chinese faster."

Also after this time, sometimes when she accidentally pissed off Tsukishima, she would readily apologize and admit her mistake, and then excused herself by saying that her Japanese was not good.

Tsukishima... was even angrier.

Lin Xingning is keen on making friends. He has a warm and outgoing personality and likes to chat with people. He soon formed a small circle of friends among girls. He often eats together, chats gossip, and listens to other people's thoughts.

After finishing the first class this morning, Da Dao came to invite Lin Xingning to have lunch together.

"Okay, are you with Natsume-chan and Hiyori-chan?"

"No," Oshima explained nervously, uncharacteristically, "It's just the two of us, can we go to the back of the teaching building?"

"Okay," she noticed the abnormality of the other party, "What's wrong with Xiaoya? What's on your mind?"

"I'm fine, don't forget."

"Ok!"

During the lunch break at noon, Yamaguchi came to find Yue Dao for dinner as usual. When he opened the lunch box, he looked around the classroom and found that the two girls who often went with Lin Xingning were there, but he didn’t see her: “Lin Sang is not in the classroom today. Do you want to eat?"

"Yamaguchi really cares about that guy." Tsukishima actually saw her go out with the squad leader, but he didn't care too much.Because the two of them would choke on each other from time to time, he already put her and Hinata in the same troublesome level in his mind.

"No...not," Yamaguchi denied in a panic, and then said a little worriedly, "I just think that Lin Sang is too brave, isn't he?

"When a person comes to a strange place, the average person will feel a little panicked or uncomfortable, right? But Lin Sang has always been cheerful, as if he has never been depressed...so I care a little bit."

Indeed, whether at school or at home, the guy is always very happy, although it is an advantage no matter who looks at it-if he doesn't always look for trouble in front of his eyes.

Yamaguchi said with emotion: "Actually, I feel that Lin Sang and Yue are a bit like..."

"Who looks like that guy?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I made a mistake~"

After Lin Xingning came back from lunch, he felt a little weird, often looking at Yue Dao with a hesitant expression on his face.

Finally, when she was about to go to participate in club activities after school, and she repeated the above actions for the seventh time, Tsukishima asked in a bad tone: "What? Say something if you have something to say."

Lin Xingning hesitated and apologized to Yamaguchi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yamaguchi, can you go to the gym first, I have something to say to Yue alone."

Yamaguchi was very easy to talk to: "Don't worry about it, then I'll go first."

When the mountain pass was far away, Yue Dao put on his bag: "Let's talk while walking."

She trotted two steps to keep up: "Well, that is, if someone confessed to Yue, what would Yue say?"

"Anyone you know?"

"How should I put it?" Lin Xingning replied weakly, "Actually, that girl wanted me to deliver the love letter on her behalf, but... I'm a little worried that Yue will say something sad, so I want to ask first."

Tsukishima stopped in her tracks, turned back and stared at her expressionlessly: "Really, I only say things that make people sad?"

"Because I always feel that Yue will reject her, so I want to ask about the way of rejection. If it is the kind that will make people sad, I will not hand over the love letter for her." The two stood too close, and she struggled Looking up, "This way Yue won't know who she is, this incident can be treated as never happened, and she won't be embarrassed when facing Yue in the future."

A very well-founded way to solve the problem, Yue Dao raised the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Are you so sure that I will refuse?"

"Because you don't have anyone you like, and you're not the frivolous type, so you won't accept it." Lin Xingning stiffened his neck and looked at him stubbornly.

"..." Finally Tsukishima took a step back, raised his hand, rubbed his neck and sighed, "Give it to me... how do you know I don't have anyone I like?"

Lin Xingning looked for a love letter from his bag and said, "If you like someone, the eyes of the other person will be different, right? But according to my observation, Yue only has a more focused expression when he is playing volleyball, and he only looks at girls." Human' eyes."

It sounds really irritating, and what kind of eyes are "looking at human eyes"?Why doesn't he know it himself?

Lin Xingning handed him the love letter: "Be gentle?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Yue Dao took the love letter.

"Because Xiaoya is my friend, so I don't want to see her not looking sad."

He silently put the love letter into the bag: "Let's go."

"Oh!"
