[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

There are still two months before Spring High, and Karasuno has basically returned to the original school mode. If there is any difference, it is probably that the volleyball team members have become more popular among girls, especially the girls who are very popular with them. Welcome to Tsukishima.

When the first-year team members finished their morning exercises and changed their indoor shoes on the first floor of the teaching building, a few girls came to say hello.

"Good morning, Tsukishima-kun, we also went to watch the previous final match, and Tsukishima-kun's performance was really impressive."

"Thank you."

Hinata looked enviously at the few girls asking around Tsukishima, and whispered to Yamaguchi: "You are so cold and still popular with girls, I really hope you can share some with me~"

"Yue's words may be more quiet. Speaking of which..." Shankou turned to look at Lin Xingning.

She bent down and picked up the changed shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet: "Class is about to start, let's go."

She looked calm and composed, and returned to the classroom on her own after speaking, without waiting for Yamaguchi and the others.

The impact of the spring high school final match has not yet passed, and the number of love letters received by Yuedao has also increased recently, and some girls specially came to the second gymnasium to deliver water when they were practicing.

Yue Dao over there rejected the other party's kindness on the grounds that "generally do not drink pure water after exercising".

Sugawara grinned and complained: "It's the team's victory anyway, and it's too biased to only deliver water to Tsukishima, isn't it Lin Jiang?"

"Senior Suga..." Hinata and Yamaguchi reminded Sugawara softly as if they were facing an enemy, and turned to look at Lin Xingning's expression, and found that she didn't respond, not even frowning.

Lin Xingning replied: "There are only two of them. If everyone in the volleyball team had one, it would be too heavy to carry, right?"

The direction you focus on is too strange!

When returning to the classroom after morning practice the next day, Yuedao was still blocked downstairs. Shankou and Lin Xingning went back to the classroom first. When they passed by the door of class 3, a girl stopped Lin Xingning.

"What's wrong, Harada-chan?"

"Lin Jiang and Tsukishima-kun usually have a good relationship, right?" Harada secretly took out a letter from behind him, "That...can you give it to Tsukishima-kun for me?"

Shankou watched Lin Xingning take the letter, and she said, "Well, it's fine."

He was frightened: ? ? ?

"But," she asked quietly, "is it all right to be rejected?"

"Huh? Uh...um."

On the way back to the classroom, Yamaguchi tentatively asked, "Does Lin Sang want to give the love letter to Yue?"

"Since you agreed to hand it over, you must give it, right?" Lin Xingning seemed to take it for granted.

She hasn't fully figured out her messy thoughts, and now she relies entirely on logic to judge what to do.

"Well... Lin Sang doesn't think so, do you mind?"

Tsukishima saw them standing at the door of the classroom, and just in time to hear the last sentence when they approached: "What do you mind?"

Lin Xingning handed him the love letter in his hand: "Give it to Yue from Harada from Class 3."

Yue Dao didn't answer, looked at her for a while, and found that she was really not joking: "Do you want to quarrel with me early in the morning?

"I won't accept it," Yue Dao suppressed the anger in his heart, "Also, you'd better reflect on yourself."

He turned and entered the classroom.

The mountain pass swept by the low pressure was shivering on the side, seeing Lin Xingning walking out: "Lin Sang, where are you going?"

"Talking to Harada-san was rejected."

"at this time?"

"Didn't Yue say he wouldn't accept it?"

Yamaguchi was left speechless by the rhetorical question.

"I have no reason to mind, right?" Lin Xingning replied to Da Dao in this way during the stretching exercise in physical education class, "They just expressed their emotions unilaterally, and they did nothing wrong."

"Eh? So calm~" Natsume hung upside down from the horizontal bar, "Or are you talking hard?"

"Then what should I do?" Lin Xingning sat down and stretched his hands to press down on his body. His fingertips almost touched his feet and immediately got up again. Da Dao complained that his body was stiff.

"Huh? How to do it?" Natsume recalled the novel he read a few days ago, "At this time, a boy needs to confess to Xingning, and then..."

"That's the plot in "Please Forget Me", right?" Rihe took the lead in complaining.

Lin Xingning began to try the second stretch: "I don't like that novel very much. Many plots seem to be set up to make the protagonists quarrel... Wouldn't it be good to be frank about what's on your mind?"

Hmm... She doesn't seem to have done it herself.

"What a naive girl," Natsume got off the horizontal bar, "it's the kind of unspoken words and sour emotions that make you fall in love~"

Oshima smiled and insulted her: "Obviously Yuki himself has never been in love, so it's really shameless."

Natsume pressed Lin Xingning's back unhappily.

"It hurts...it's not what I said..."

After practice that day, Yamaguchi went to the Sakashita Convenience Store to say hello to the others.

"Is Shankou alone today? Where are Yuedao and Linjiang?" Xigu stuffed the buns into his mouth in twos and asked inarticulately.

"They went back first, as if they had quarreled..."

Hinata answered: "It's no wonder Lin Sang is angry."

"No," Yamaguchi scratched his face, "Yue is angry."

"Eh? Why?"

After listening to Yamaguchi's talk about the morning, everyone looked pensive.

"No matter what the cause of the quarrel is, a man must admit his mistake!" Xi Gu spoke simply and rudely.

"Oh! As expected of Xiao Gu, man!"

Yuanxia peacemaker said: "But so many girls send love letters to Yue Dao and give small gifts, Lin Jiang doesn't mind at all, and Yue Dao doesn't have to haggle with her because of such things."

"She minds." Sugawara concluded with certainty.

"Eh?"

Yamaguchi was puzzled: "But Lin Sang has never been angry."

"Although you're not angry, you're obviously a lot more silent than before, right?"

On the way home, the two walked in tandem.

"I've reflected on what happened this morning."

Tsukishima was still angry, and responded to show that he was listening.

"I know why Yue is angry, so I apologize to you first, I'm sorry."

"Oh."

"Before, I thought I could solve it by myself, but now I realize that it seems that I am too self-righteous."

Tsukishima asked angrily, "What is the solution?"

Lin Xingning thought about it and found a suitable explanation: "Probably... jealousy."

Tsukishima stopped and turned around: "...Huh? Do normal people think about solving their emotions?"

"Because it's weird," she began to analyze, "Yue has always been very popular, and even if I haven't dated, after watching the match with Shiratorizawa, I will still be attracted to Yue, right? Some girls send love letters because of this, It's normal to have a conversation.

"They're just expressing their feelings and they're not doing anything wrong...not to mention Yue is saying no. I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I still feel 'hate' towards them and feel like a sucker. "

After all, the two have been together for a long time, and Yue Dao gradually knows that Lin Xingning is not immune to negative emotions, but when she finds such emotions "unreasonable", she will choose a logical "correct way" to obliterate such emotions.

But: "Why not be jealous?"

"Because of being influenced by such emotions, you will make wrong actions."

As expected by Tsukishima, it was the reason: "Then how do you judge the so-called 'wrong' and 'right'?"

"What's annoying is wrong... isn't it?"

"What if I don't hate your 'jealousy'?"

Originally, Yue Dao said that sentence just to explain that the so-called "mistake" was not so absolute. After seeing Lin Xingning's reaction, he realized another meaning. The two of them blushed and stared at each other.

"Cough...you'll quarrel with me about small problems that are obviously not painful." Yue Dao looked away.

"Yue won't really care." Lin Xingning looked down at his toes.

After a brief embarrassment, Yue Dao returned to the original topic: "Since you can't solve it yourself, why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, I'm going to talk to Yue now." She nodded and took a deep breath, "Where should I start..."

"My mother was sick before, and my father didn't have extra time and energy. I didn't receive much attention since I was a child, probably because of this, so my aunt took extra care of me.

"Dad's only expectation of me is to be obedient, not to cry, and not to worry my mother... Although I said that I don't want to be like him, I still don't want him to disappoint me, so I have always been used to not feeling , and don’t express your bad emotions... Yue doesn’t like this very much, I know it.” Lin Xingning continued before Yue Dao spoke, “But I’ve worked very hard, so don’t criticize me.”

Of course he knows that even this is not something that can be achieved with simple hard work.

She smiled, and her expression gradually dimmed, "I know I was wrong, but I am still very scared, afraid that I will do irrational and unreasonable things because of negative emotions... I am afraid of being hated by Yue..."

Yue Dao took two steps forward, took her hand and walked back home. He didn't look back, and his tone could be heard to be still angry: "Mom cares about you more, or for some reason, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I don't want to hear the results of your "reasonable judgment" through rational analysis and probability statistics.

"Just say what you care about, and tell me what you want me to do. Didn't you say what you like and don't like so that others will know?"

Lin Xingning looked at the hand being held by him, obviously he usually has a very awkward personality, but at this time he was unexpectedly gentle, he would patiently listen to himself when he had a quarrel, and he would still hold his hand and go home together when he was angry.

If you ask for something from others, you will be rejected, and if you have expectations from others, you will be disappointed, so as long as you don’t ask, you won’t be rejected, and if you don’t expect, you won’t be sad.

That is the "truth" she has learned since she was a child, and it is deeply engraved in her bones.

Today, however, she was told that she was expected to ask, even if it was unreasonable.

After being silent for a long time, she replied sullenly: "...I don't like handing over love letters to Harada, so many girls giving Yue small gifts, and Yue talking to them...I don't like Yue being popular...

"...It would have been nice if only Yue had always been my own."

Tsukishima raised the corners of his mouth and turned around: "Who said before that the probability of being separated one day is much higher than being together all the time, so we must be prepared to separate?"

"……Humph."

"Won't this make you angry?" He raised his left hand and ruffled her hair, "Go home."

"……Um."

In the evening, after Lin Xingning took a shower, he changed to Yuedao to take a shower. When he came back, she was already wrapped in a small blanket and took up a corner by the low table to read a novel.

Tsukishima asked, "Is the story interesting this time?"

"It's not very interesting," Lin Xingning replied, "but I feel like I can learn from experience."

Tsukishima has learned not to ask about her experience. The last time she answered this question, she demonstrated how a noble male protagonist with a European background would talk to a female protagonist, such as "a pure girl like a lily", "my little sweetheart" ", "I want to kiss your peach-like cheeks", which gave him a headache.

In the end, she read almost the same novel, and went back to the room with the diary exchanged between the two before.

Although it is not counted as exchanging diaries - on the one hand, Yue Dao really wrote comments, and circled typos and grammatical errors for her; on the other hand, Lin Xingning's diary writing frequency is also very low, but I don't know what to call it if I don't call it this name That's all.

The last time she wrote was a romance novel. She was obsessed with a plot and wrote two pages full of personal feelings. She really didn't understand why the heroine who originally liked the male lead would accept the second male lead's confession.

"What's the comment written by Yue? Don't you care about logic so much when you read romance novels?" Lin Xingning sat at his desk and opened his diary, "Sure enough...huh?"

Turning to the latest page, on the page that should be blank, it says "Yes".

"What can..."

She suddenly realized that she buried her face in the pages of the book, blushing to the point of steaming, "What are you writing!"
