[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

The last week before the official start of the college qualifiers passed quickly. On the last day before the game, coach Wu Yang held a tactical meeting, while Qing Shui and Lin Xingning were listening.Qing Shui would explain some things Lin Xingning didn't understand in a low voice.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Takeda came: "The list for the first round is out!"

The team members gathered around to watch: "Chang Bo? I don't seem to have heard of it."

Shimizu gave Lin Xingning a brief introduction to the competition's arrangement, as well as the top four of the schools in the county.

"We are in Group A this time, and there are still many strong schools, such as Qingcheng and Dategong.

"It is very likely that they will meet Date in the second round. They met Shiratorizawa in the third round before, so they will also participate in the first round this time." Coach Wu Yang said, "But don't ignore the immediate situation just because of this. opponent."

"Yes!"

After coach Wu Yang finished his speech, Takeda-sensei went on to say: "Everyone wait a moment, there is still something for everyone to see."

After speaking, he picked up the banner and climbed up to the second floor. The space on the second floor is not too big, Qingshui just let Lin Xingning stay below, and he went up with him.

"I found it when Shimizu and Lin were cleaning." Takeda-sensei said while fixing the banner with Shimizu.

Lin Xingning was very embarrassed that she took some credit for it. When she saw it, she almost thought it was a banner from a club such as a drama. Fortunately, she asked Senior Qingshui, otherwise she might be disposed of.

The banner unfolded with a "crash", and there were two large white characters on the black background: Fly.

Qing Shui blushed and cheered for everyone in a low voice: "Come on."

He trotted away very embarrassedly.

Lin Xingning applauded a little excitedly, but stopped in confusion when he found that no one else responded.

……

…………

"Qingshui...Qingshui cheers for us for the first time..." The third grade senior broke down in tears.

"Even Senior Earth is so excited?"

"Some people can't even make a sound." Tsukishima looked at the reactions of Tanaka and Nishiya, half did not understand, and half was frightened by their exaggerated performance.

"What do you know, Tsukishima! This is thanks to Senior Shimizu!"

"No... most people can't understand, right?"

Lin Xingning actively raised his hand to speak: "Senior Xiaogu! I can understand!"

"Oh! Lin Jiang is such a good boy, he's totally different from Tsukishima!" Nishitani praised with relief, and then cried with Tanaka.

Tsukishima said, "It's all your fault for understanding what you said."

"Is this difficult to understand? People who have always been very calm suddenly have relatively large mood swings, which is contagious!" Lin Xingning analyzed clearly, "This is the cute contrast, which makes people want to stop!"

She also gave an example: "If one day Yue suddenly takes the initiative to care for others in a gentle way, my reaction will be even greater than Tanaka-senpai and Kotani-senpai."

Hinata and Kageyama next to them imagined such a scene, and showed indescribable expressions at the same time.

Tsukishima looked annoyed: "Really?"

Shankou frantically gave Lin Xingning winks and told her to cherish life.

Lin Xingning received the signal, covered his mouth reservedly, and pretended to look around.

Tsukishima said "huh": "Let's go, Yamaguchi, let this guy stay in the gymnasium today."

"...I'm sorry I was wrong."

Sugawara changed his clothes and came out of the activity room. Seeing Lin Xingning waiting for Tsukishima and Yamaguchi at the entrance of the gymnasium, he could not help but smile and greet him: "Lin Jiang, are you making Tsukishima angry again?"

"Hey~ yes!"

Seeing that she didn't seem worried at all, Sugawara asked a little puzzled, "It's actually easy for you not to say something that makes Tsukishima angry, right? Why do you want to make him unhappy on purpose?"

Lin Xingning thought about how to speak: "Actually, Yue is not the type who is indifferent and doesn't like to make friends. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand us 'stupid' chattering every day."

She is very self-aware of the fact that she is a chatterbox.

"But Yue is very arrogant. If you don't talk to him often, he will be bored and don't take the initiative to communicate with others."

Sugawara nodded in agreement: "Tsukishima is the type who needs to actively communicate with him."

"And then, Yue Dao usually has a straight face and doesn't know what he is thinking. Only when he is annoyed, his expression becomes more vivid, like a high school student." Lin Xingning recalled Yue Dao's expression when he exploded, and couldn't help laughing Get up, "And it's fun to make him angry~"

"It's really funny." Sugawara also laughed.

"I have to trouble Senior Kan to keep it secret, Yue will ignore me if she finds out."

Although she often made Yue Dao angry, she apologized quickly and confessed her love, and the other party would not really care about these trivial matters, and often bickering like this seemed to make them feel pretty good.

Sugawara blinked, raised his hand and made a "shh" motion on his lips: "Of course."

The only members of the volleyball team I met at the door of the Sakashita convenience store this time were second-year seniors.

The two sides greeted each other, and Xigu cheered on his teammates full of fighting spirit: "I will definitely win tomorrow, and then I will defeat Qingcheng!"

"Oh! Xiao Gu is really a man!"

"I really want to catch Oikawa's serve quickly, I can't wait."

Yamaguchi was afraid that Lin Xingning would not understand, so he explained: "Senior Jichuan is the captain of the Qingye Castle West, referred to as the Qingcheng volleyball team..."

To his surprise, she replied, "I know."

Tsukishima didn't expect it either: "You know?"

"A few days ago, I heard about it when I was having dinner with my third-year senior sister. It was said to be—" Lin Xingning recalled the original words, "a handsome and considerate guy."

"What!" Nishiya and Tanaka became nervous, "Don't let Lin Jiang be fooled by his face, he is a dangerous person!"

Tsukishima's focus is: "Why do you have lunch with your third-year senior sister?" He originally thought that he should have heard such a reason from Shimizu-senpai.

"I met when I was playing with Yoshida-chan from Class 5."

Tsukishima no longer wanted to ask her why she knew people from Class 5.

Lin Xingning turned his head and said to Tanaka and Nishitani with a sense of sympathy, "I won't be deceived, I'm Wuye's manager!"

"Well said! Very bold!"

In the morning of the next day, everyone had to gather at the school first, and then take the bus to the preliminaries together.

Before the bus came, coach Wu Yang delivered a short speech to cheer everyone up. After all, it was a game where one mistake meant failure, and half of the starting players were first-year students. I was a little worried that they would be too nervous.

"In short, we are capable, just perform well like usual practice." He finished the last sentence, just as the bus arrived, "Put your things on the bus and set off."

"Yes!"

When everyone in Karasuno arrived at the gymnasium, most of the teams had already entered the stadium. Except for the gates, there were some spectators who came to watch the game, but there were very few players in the participating teams.

"Wunye? He used to be very strong, but he hasn't been doing so well in recent years?"

"A fallen tycoon, a crow that can't fly, what a shameful title."

The two people who were joking in front of the bulletin board suddenly felt a chill behind them, and turned around to find themselves surrounded by a group of high school students in black tracksuits.

And all of them looked bad.

Sawamura drove the players into the gymnasium with a smile on his face, dragged away Tanaka who was provoking each other with his expression, and finally said to the other party in a tone that was definitely not an apology: "I'm sorry."

Lin Xingning whispered: "Actually, Senior Dadi is the kind of big devil, right?"

Dongfeng, Xigu, and Hyuga nodded in unison.

When the team members were preparing to warm up, Lin Xingning went to fill the water with Qingshui. On the way back, two boys from other schools came to strike up a conversation: "Two students, do you need help?"

Qing Shui rejected San Lian very skillfully: "Thank you, no need, please let me go."

If Lin Xingning hadn't been holding water in his hand, he would have stood at attention and applauded her.

The people around who were about to move around were all at ease.

It was Karasuno's turn to play. Since there could only be one manager in the arena at most, Lin Xingning bid farewell to them and prepared to go to the auditorium after finishing the practice familiarizing himself with the field. Yue Dao asked with concern, "Can you find the way?"

"...When will this stalk be over?"

There is a sign at the entrance of the auditorium, so it is not impossible to find it, but Lin Xingning walked through the wrong entrance and walked half a circle around the auditorium.

When I walked to the auditorium of the Karasuno Stadium, I saw a few boys in blue and white sportswear over there.

One of them leaned on the railing and talked to Kageyama in the arena: "Is Feixiong-chan playing the king well?"

Um?Is it someone you know Kageyama-kun?Lin Xingning saw the Roman accent on the back of their sportswear, and spelled it out, Qingye Chengxi?Qingcheng?

"Lin Jiang!" Seeing her standing there, Tanaka shouted, "Run away! It's too dangerous!"

Now the team members in Qingcheng also noticed Lin Xingning.

The girl wearing the uniform of the Karasuno volleyball team is also the club manager?

Karasuno, known as the "declining tycoon", has two managers, but the "active tycoon" Qingcheng has none.Yajin couldn't help complaining to Kindaichi in a low voice: "All of Karasuno's managers are beauties, why don't we have any?"

Iwaizumi also heard it, and sneered: "Because of some idiot, the girls almost fought to join the club, so we don't have a manager."

And Oikawa, who was called "a certain idiot", not only did not reflect on himself, but also approached Lin Xingning and began to strike up a conversation: "Lin? Are you Chinese?"

"Well, hello, my name is Lin Xingning." He got a little closer, and she couldn't help but take half a step back.

Oikawa is very delicate, with gentle facial features, just the right balance between pretty and handsome, even just looking at his face can fascinate many girls, not to mention his youthful flamboyance and tall stature , The right muscles created by exercise, the whole person interprets what it means to be "handsome" from the inside out.

[Hello~] Oikawa greeted in Chinese, "Does the 'star (せい)' in Lin Jiang's name mean 'star (ほし)'?"

"……Um."

"Then," Oikawa showed his trademark smile, "Can I call you Little Star (ほしちゃん)?"

Iwaizumi didn't want to see him being promiscuous, but he couldn't listen to it anymore, and was about to beat him up——

"Please don't do this, I will be very troubled," Lin Xingning felt impolite after refusing, and added, "I'm sorry."

Oikawa suffered from Waterloo, and his expression was very exciting for a moment.

"Hahahahaha~" Tanaka and Nishitani clenched their fists on the court, "Lin Jiang did a great job!"

Teasing girls is Oikawa's hobby, and his favorite is volleyball. The frustration of being rejected also has a lot of acting elements in it, and he doesn't take it personally.After the battle between Wu Ye and Chang Bo officially started, he began to watch the game seriously.

Miraculously, Yajin had a very smooth conversation with Lin Xingning.

The game against Chang Bo was not too turbulent, Wuye won two rounds steadily, Lin Xingning politely bid farewell to Qingcheng's players, and trotted away from the auditorium with some emotions.

"Let's go too, ready to warm up." Iwaizumi clapped his hands and let the team members follow.

Oikawa put his hand on Yahaba's shoulder in dissatisfaction: "How did Hide-chan manage to strike up a conversation?"

Yajin scratched his head: "Just greet you in a very ordinary way. Lin-chan said that Mr. Chuan didn't introduce himself. It feels impolite and strange."

"Ah! Mistake!" Oikawa covered his face with his hands, and began to blame himself in distress, "I'm used to girls knowing me!"

"...Oikawa-senpai, please restrain yourself, Iwaizumi-senpai is staring at you..."

Lin Xingning almost walked in the wrong direction when he came out of the auditorium. In fact, this is quite normal. People with a bad sense of direction always behave like "turning right when going out".

But this time she immediately sensed that something was wrong, she retracted her foot, turned around, and saw Yue Dao not far away looking at her in surprise.

Lin Xingning walked towards him as if nothing happened.

Yue Dao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized that "so you got lost like this".

"...I treat you to strawberry cake when I go back, can I pretend I didn't see it?"

"Deal." Yue Dao happily accepted the "hush money", and then coughed twice pretendingly, "But I don't seem to have said anything yet?"

The two returned to the team, and Xigu raised his hand to Lin Xingning, signaling a high-five to celebrate.After everyone high-fived, Lin Xingning turned back to Yue Dao and raised his hands.

Tsukishima was a little disgusted: "Why would I do such a thing?"

"What is this kind of thing, sharing the joyful mood!" She raised her hands reluctantly, "Quick~"

Yue Dao thought of something, and raised his hands provocatively to the height where Lin Xingning needed to jump.The moment she jumped up and was about to hit back with super force, he raised his hand again with a "swish".

Lin Xingning:? ? ?

Most of the people burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Sugawara suppressed a smile and blamed: "Tsukishima has a bad personality."
