[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

After the failure of the college qualifiers, the practice of the volleyball team became more intense, not only because of the upcoming spring high school, but also because of the strength of the opponent. In order not to feel the pain of failure, he must continue to become stronger.

In addition to the original plan of coach Wuyang, the players are also spontaneously extending the practice time.

Beyond that, daily campus life continues.

Today's physical education class 2 and 4 were in class together. Lin Xingning greeted Yamaguchi who had just changed into his sports clothes from a distance: "Yamaguchi~"

Yamaguchi also waved to her.

Two boys from Class 2 that Yamaguchi knew were joking: "Yamaguchi and Lin Sang have a very good relationship."

"It doesn't count, Lin Sang and everyone in the volleyball club have a good relationship." Yamaguchi was not used to being joked like this, and scratched his hair a little embarrassedly.

"Yamaguchi, are you going to Watanabe's birthday party today?"

Watanabe and Yamaguchi are classmates in junior high school, and they have a good relationship, but Watanabe is now in Class 2.

"Well, Watanabe invited me a few days ago, and it happened that the gymnasium was overhauled today, so I will go."

"By the way, Shankou, can you ask Lin Sang to come out?" They also thought of it after seeing Lin Xingning take the initiative to greet Shankou.

"Eh?" He subconsciously refused, "No way, we usually only have contact during volleyball practice..."

"Why don't you say no before you even tried it? You know that Watanabe likes Lin Sang so much, right? Just treat it as a birthday surprise for him~"

"...Then let me ask you later."

"As expected of Yamaguchi, it's so reliable!"

He agreed without paying attention, Yamaguchi thought distressedly.

Lin Xingning went to say hello to the girls in Class 2, and listened to them talking about the Yuejiu drama that was showing in the past two days, but didn't notice the movement on the other side of the mountain pass.

Tsukishima had changed into his sportswear a long time ago, and was sitting on the steps in a daze, when he saw Yamaguchi walking over with embarrassment.

"Yue..." He hesitated, "That..."

"I refuse." Yue Dao refused indifferently without waiting for Yamaguchi to say the rest.

"Eh? I have nothing..."

"It's either asking me out for a girl, or it's related to Lin," Yue Dao guessed very accurately, "Either one is troublesome, so I refuse."

"..." Yamaguchi boasted subtly, "Yue's guess is really accurate."

Lin Xingning's greeting in Class 2 has ended, and he wanted to chat with the girls in this class, but saw Yamaguchi and Tsukishima together, so he came over to join in the fun: "What are you talking about?"

Yamaguchi still felt awkward and shy asking a girl out directly, so he asked in a weak tone: "Well, Lin Sang, I asked for my classmate, do you have time today?"

"Today? The gymnasium is overhauled, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Yue Dao pushed his glasses and twitched his mouth: "For the popular lady, the schedule should be more full, right?"

Before Lin Xingning could refute, he answered again: "Ah yes, I forgot that you are a road idiot."

Lin Xingning puffed up his cheeks: "What's wrong with the road idiot? I can remember it after walking a few more times. It's better than myopia and other shortcomings that can't be improved."

"Shortcomings like myopia are more realistic than fantasizing about saving the world." Tsukishima smiled provocatively, "Right, Miss Magical Girl?"

"Weird and black belly!" This is what Lin Xingning learned from the seniors in the second grade of the volleyball club.

The quarrel between the two became more and more low-level, and the IQ plummeted. Yamaguchi was really distressed. He didn't finish the question, and he wanted to help persuade the quarrel: "Forget it, forget it, don't quarrel."

This quarrel ended with Yuedao winning. Lin Xingning lost in language. She hummed and was about to leave, but then remembered: "By the way, Mr. Yamaguchi didn't finish talking just now, did he?"

"Eh? Well," Yamaguchi didn't expect the topic to come back, "Watanabe from class 2 is my friend from junior high school. It's my birthday today. I want to invite Lin Sang to the birthday party."

"Is that so? Will Yamaguchi-kun go?" She thought to herself, the birthday party of someone she doesn't know well always feels awkward.

"Well, I will go."

Lin Xingning asked again: "Are you going that month?"

Yue Dao looked disgusted: "Why should I go?"

When Shankou heard this, he probably knew that Lin Xingning was going to refuse, after all, she was someone she didn't know...

She said, "It's ok, but Mr. Yamaguchi will take me home after the end. I don't know the way."

"……Oh that's fine."

accepted? ? ?

So the two agreed to leave after school. Yamaguchi told Lin Xingning that the venue of the birthday party would be at Sister Watanabe's ramen shop. The birthday party is expected to not be too long. There is a large shopping mall nearby, and you can go to the shopping mall after the end. Go home if you want to buy something.

Originally, Lin Xingning just thought that Shankou invited him because of his friends, and if he refused, he would be a little embarrassed with his friends, so he agreed.

After a while, the official class bell rang, and the physical education teacher called everyone to gather. By the way, he announced the main content of today's physical education class: a 1000-meter long-distance race.

Lin Xingning gasped when she heard it. After all, domestic colleges and universities don’t pay much attention to physical exercise, and her physical fitness is also trained a week in advance to cope with the test. In addition, she really doesn’t like sports very much, so this test may be fatal. .

Da Dao saw that she was a little nervous, and comforted her, "It's okay, Xing Ning, I'm not very good at sports either, we can run together later."

"Xiaoya, you are too kind~"

However, after the official start of the race, Lin Xingning had a new understanding of Oshima's "not very good sports".

"Xing Ning?" Da Dao cooperated with her and slowed down again, "Is it okay?"

Lin Xingning gasped for breath, feeling the cold air irritated his lungs a little, his brain intermittently released two signals, "I can't run, I'm going to die" and "Working hard is almost over", forcing the unconscious Try to run your legs as fast as possible, but the effect is not great.

"I'm sorry Xiaoya, you go first, I'm already at my limit."

After finally finishing the run, Lin Xingning really had no strength at all. Considering that he might be sent to the infirmary if he lay down on the spot, he insisted on walking to the side and leaning on the wall to breathe, coughing violently from time to time.

She could see that Oshima didn't lie to her. Compared with the girl who finished the run first, Oshima's sports were indeed not very good, but she herself was not good at all.

The two classes ran together, Lin Xingning came first from the bottom, half a lap away from the second to last.

Da Dao followed and patted her on the back: "Are you all right?"

"Are you still alive?" Tsukishima came over from the side to say hello.

He didn't try his best when he ran, and the second batch of boys finished.Just like that, Lin Xingning hadn't finished running when he returned from buying water from the vending machine.Normally, he should have come to laugh at her, but this time he did have something to say to her.

Lin Xingning couldn't catch his breath, so he could only shake his head to indicate that he was actually dead.

Oshima greeted naturally: "Tsukishima-kun."

"...Hello." It has been a while since the confession incident, but Tsukishima and Oshima still feel a little uncomfortable talking.

Oshima also understood the other party's mood, smiled and made an excuse to leave first.

"Water," Yue Dao handed Lin Xingning the water in his hand, "but I drank it."

She didn't think about the issue of "indirect kissing". After all, the two lived under the same roof, and sometimes Yue Dao's mother often used a pair of chopsticks when she made delicious food for them to taste in advance.

It's just that in normal times, Lin Xingning would definitely put on a show of disgust.But at this moment of life and death, she doesn't pay attention to these things, she took the water and took a big gulp: "Thank you."

Tsukishima's expression was a bit unnatural: "Today, I happen to be going to a shopping mall near Watanabe's birthday party."

"So," he paused here, "I can go with you and the mountain pass by the way, and then take you home."

"Huh?" Lin Xingning was stunned. Although she also felt a little embarrassed about attending the birthday party, she still had some concerns, "But I have already promised to go to the birthday party. Wouldn't it be bad to just show up like this?"

"Didn't you agree because of Yamaguchi? Why do you have to think so much?" Although Yue Dao has always disliked her as troublesome, she has to admit that she has always been careful in taking care of other people's emotions, which is one of the few advantages Bar.

Lin Xingning's thoughts were directly broken, and he was a little embarrassed: "It's easy to not make friends with such a sharp mind, Yue~"

"Oh?" Tsukishima gave her a sideways look.

Lin Xingning immediately confessed: "I was wrong, I will count on you today, the kindest Tsukishima Ying-kun in the world!"

He took off his glasses, wiped them and put them on again: "Remember to tell Yamaguchi."

"Oh yes," Lin Xingning saw that he was about to leave, and held up the half bottle of water in his hand, "Do you want more water?"

Yue Dao turned around halfway, pretending to be disgusted: "No, you've already drunk."

"……cut!"

After Lin Xingning was resurrected, he told Yamaguchi about this matter, saying that he and Watanabe didn't know each other well, which might affect the atmosphere, so he planned to go over to say hello.

Yamaguchi also understood: "It's good that Lin Sang is willing to come."

Tsukishima listened to them quietly without interrupting.

He's not at all interested in the relationships between these high schoolers, and Yamaguchi will be back together, and there's no need to worry about some chump getting lost.So he originally planned that if the other party came home late, he would at most send a message to ask.

It wasn't until he went to the vending machine to buy water after running 1000 meters that he heard a conversation between two boys from Class 2 at the corner.

The tone is frivolous and the content is also very unpleasant.

"I didn't expect that Shankou could really invite Lin Xingning."

"They're all from the volleyball club, so there's always some kind of friendship."

"But it's also possible that Lin Xingning is easy to date?"

"Hahaha, there is a possibility."

Tsukishima narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.

One of the boys stuffed coins into the machine, still thinking about what flavor of soda to buy.

Tsukishima stood behind him, stretched out his hand over him and pressed one of the buttons casually, and said in a slow voice, "Excuse me, let me go."

"Who is it?" The boy turned his head angrily, and saw a person looking down at him expressionlessly.

"...Hey, he is..." Another boy tugged at his clothes.

Yue Dao smiled, full of sarcasm no matter how you look at it: "Don't worry, I just have a little friendship with Lin Xingning, just in the volleyball club."

Of course, he didn't want to protect that idiot, but he just acted as the half guardian of others at school. If he didn't do well, he would be nagged by his mother when he returned home.And even if it's a big trouble that will always come together, there will be times when people don't like it, and it's still a little uncomfortable to be said so excessively by others... that's all.

The two boys cursed in a low voice, didn't confront him directly, and left in a hurry.

Then Tsukishima bought a bottle of mineral water with coins.

"Tsk, what a hassle."

After school, Lin Xingning followed Yuedao and Yamaguchi to the station near the school to take the tram. Although it was get out of class time, there were not many students from the same school who came to take the bus.

After getting in the car, the three found a place to sit down. Lin Xingning flipped through the textbook of world history, and Tsukishima listened to music with headphones on. Yamaguchi didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

"That... that," Yamaguchi began to find something to say, "Does Lin Sang know about Watanabe?"

"I know, but I'm not familiar with it," Lin Xingning covered the textbook, "I only know that I'm in Class 2, and I seem to have a good relationship with Yamaguchi-kun."

"I thought you were familiar with everyone." Yue Dao felt very resentful about taking a trip for someone he didn't know during the rare rest time.

"I usually only take the initiative to show my love twice. If the other party's reaction is cold, it means that they don't want to make friends with me." Lin Xingning shared his experience, "Then I won't take the initiative to strike up a conversation."

Tsukishima asked back: "I think I'm indifferent enough?"

"Yue is different, you don't have any friends, it's too pitiful, I care about you!"

"what?"

Yamaguchi started to persuade the fight again.

The fight between the two came to an end, and Tsukishima put the earphones back with a displeased face.

Yamaguchi said: "I don't know about others. If you don't cross over, it's probably because you were too shy to talk to Lin Sang. He really wants to be friends with you."

"Is that so?" Lin Xingning tilted his head, "Then he can't do this, right? He wants to be friends with others, but he doesn't act. He hopes that others will take the initiative to make friends with him or something."

"Yes……"

"Whatever you want, you have to work hard for it~" Lin Xingning concluded, and put the textbook back into the schoolbag, "Wait a minute and go to a nearby store first? Although it's just to say hello, I still need to bring some small gifts."

"Excuse me~"

Yamaguchi and Lin Xingning arrived at the ramen shop where the birthday party was held and greeted them at the door.

"Yamaguchi, are you here? I'm sorry the others haven't arrived yet," Watanabe said excitedly, and when he got closer, he found Lin Xingning behind Yamaguchi, "Lin... Lin Sang! You... hello!!"

"Hello," Lin Xingning took out a paper bag and handed it to Watanabe, "Happy birthday, because I don't know what Watanabe-kun likes, so I bought some stationery."

"Thank you... Thank you!" Watanabe nervously took the gift, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say.

"Brother idiot, please come in!" A woman in a chef's uniform poked her head out of the window, "Sorry, my brother can't speak much."

"Yes... yes, please come in!"

"Thank you, no need," Lin Xingning said with a smile, "I'm just going to a nearby shopping mall. Mr. Yamaguchi said he had a friend's birthday, so he came over to say hello. Then I'll take my leave first, goodbye."

"Oh! Thank you... Ah... No, goodbye, Lin Sang!"

Lin Xingning bid farewell to Yamaguchi again: "See you tomorrow, Mr. Yamaguchi."

"See you tomorrow."

Lin Xingning had disappeared, and Watanabe was still standing at the door. Yamaguchi asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"

"Yamaguchi! It's great to be friends with you!!"

"...Don't cry..."

Lin Xingning came out of the ramen shop in a happy mood: "Yue~ Let's go shopping~"

On the way to the shopping mall, she met the two boys from class 2. Lin Xingning had a little impression of them. When the eyes of the two met, she originally wanted to say hello, but they quickly avoided her gaze.

"Eh?" Lin Xingning raised his hand halfway, then put it down in embarrassment, "It was obviously avoided."

Yue Dao smiled inexplicably: "He is using practical actions to express that he does not want to be friends with you."

"Hmph!" She comforted herself, "They must have avoided the moon because they were too vicious."

Yue Dao was suddenly slandered—even though she was right, she still satirized her: "If you get lost in the mall, I will go to the radio station and broadcast to find you."

As a result, the two really got separated in the mall.

Yue Dao and Lin Xingning talked on the phone, agreed to meet at the radio station, and walked there helplessly.

I don't think Lin Xingning has a bad sense of direction, but he is really talented in asking questions, so he went to the radio station first.

She saw Yuedao from a distance over there, and trotted over.

She had just played a radio broadcast about finding a lost child. She followed suit and changed the words herself: "The following is a missing person announcement: Kid Tsukishima Ying, your sister is waiting for you at the radio station..."

……

Tsukishima was expressionless.

"Yo~ Kid Hotaru Tsukishima, are you coming to the radio station to find your sister?"

"...You go home by yourself."

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!! I'm sorry!! I'm really sorry!!!"
