[Volleyball Boys] Moonlit Night

The after-school volleyball club still conducts club activities in the second gymnasium.

"Excuse me--"

The players who just finished warming up looked towards the gate of the gymnasium.

There was a boy standing at the gate, not very tall, with natural curly hair, looking shy and shy: "Is Lin Xingning there?"

Everyone was silent for a while, but Sugawara was the first to react and shouted to the equipment room: "Lin Jiang, someone is looking for you."

"Huh?" Lin Xingning poked his head out from the equipment room, "Who is it?"

Following the eyes of everyone, she saw the person at the gate: "Student Suzuki from Class 3?"

Hinata turned to look at Kageyama: "Isn't Class 3 Kageyama's class?"

"Why are you looking at me? Isn't it normal for someone in the class not to know each other?"

"It's really worthy of the king's speech, 'The common people don't deserve my attention'...Is it?"

"What did you say, Tsukishima!"

Lin Xingning trotted to the door and asked Suzuki, "What's the matter, Suzuki?"

"Ah...it's like this," Suzuki was very nervous, he frantically found a letter from his bag and handed it to her, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Please...please read it."

Everyone in the gymnasium was overwhelmed by the incident, even Kageyama, who was arguing with Tsukishima, shut up.

Lin Xingning acted very calmly. Although she had never received a love letter, she was not a fool, so she didn't know what it was right now, so she took it calmly: "Thank you."

"No...you're welcome," Suzuki blushed and exhausted all his courage, "Lin Sang no...you don't need to answer me soon."

Then turned around and ran away.

Lin Xingning looked at the love letter with complicated emotions. Although she thanked the other party for his kindness, she still felt heavy in her heart because she had to live up to this feeling.

The atmosphere in the gymnasium was also a bit delicate, and no one spoke for a while.

Suddenly Tanaka rushed towards Xigu with a sad face: "The child's father!! Lin Jiang has also reached the age of love!"

Xigu also entered the state very quickly: "No! Dad, I... Dad, I will never compromise!"

Sugawara, Sawamura, and Enikata looked disgusted: "Is this some kind of messy family sitcom?"

Tanaka is still continuing the lines of the role of mother in the eight o'clock file: "The most important thing for high school students is to study-"

Sugawara complained: "Tanaka, you are not qualified to say this!"

So he changed his words: "Study is what Lin Jiang has to consider now—"

Hyuga interjected: "The last time I simulated Korin-san was the first in my grade."

Dong Feng was surprised: "So powerful??"

Yue Dao calmly explained Lin Xingning's schooling system to his teammates: "That guy started school in September last year, and he had been in the first grade for half a year before transferring here, and their courses are very difficult. They should have already learned the science and English parts. We are at the level of the third grade here."

Dong Feng was frightened: "Third grade?!!"

Yamaguchi added in a slightly envious tone: "During the first mock exam, it wasn't long before Lin Sang transferred to another school. The liberal arts part was a mess, but he still entered the top 50 in the grade."

Now Sawamura was surprised: "Huh?!"

"..." Tanaka was dismantled twice, quickly passed on the responsibility, and looked at Hinata, "As a sister, why don't you look up to her?"

"Me? Why am I an older sister?" Hinata was dissatisfied with the role assignment, "I want to be an older brother."

On the other side, Xigu has already pulled Yingshan to call him "Children's Brother".

Yue Dao watched the chaotic scene, with a lively expression on his face, and laughed: "What is this? A family of idiots?"

Sugawara felt a little helpless watching the children quarreling: "If the first grader is called an idiot..."

"I'm sorry!! I failed everyone's trust," Lin Xingning suddenly held the door frame in pain, "It's just...it's just me, and Suzuki-kun really loves each other!"

...? !

After she finished speaking the lines in the TV series, she calmly glanced at the crowd who seemed to have pressed the pause button: "I'm just kidding, let's practice."

Tsukishima felt "as expected": "Just say she is stupid?"

The previous episode was quickly forgotten, and everyone devoted themselves to practice with enthusiasm.

After the practice, Mr. Takeda came over to inform Tokyo Expedition, the good news of playing a practice match with Qianghao School.

Playing against a strong opponent is more able to recognize your own shortcomings and understand the direction of your efforts. The players are very excited, especially the idiot foursome.

Teacher Wu Tian left first because he was going to hold a staff meeting, and coach Wu Yang clapped his hands: "Okay, let's all go home after tidying up."

On the way back, Yamaguchi gossiped a bit: "What did Lin Sang think about Suzuki-san today?"

"Ah? Oh," Lin Xingning thought for a while, "Although I should reject him, I'm a little happy... This is the first time I've received a love letter from a boy."

"First time?" Yamaguchi obviously didn't believe it.

"Eh?" Tsukishima dragged his voice, expressing his doubts about the authenticity of that sentence with his tone.

"Really," Lin Xingning explained, "My previous school was a key local high school, and my main focus was on my studies. After all, I don't have much energy to fall in love after studying for 13 hours a day, right? And even if there is any relationship, um— —”

She paused for a while to think about what to say: "Everyone is a very smart and sensitive person. If you feel that the other party doesn't have that kind of affection for you, you won't say it. It's probably the kind of 'confession' that even friends do." can't worry.

"My words, I'm relatively indifferent in this regard? So I haven't received it."

"Indifferent?" Yamaguchi didn't expect her to describe herself like that.

"Well," Lin Xingning nodded, "Before the official confession, don't you test the other party's attitude through some small things? I will be very indifferent at that stage, so no one will confess... Even if there are, they will not Send a love letter."

Tsukishima became interested: "Oh? Because those ordinary people are not worthy of a popular lady?"

Lin Xingning stuck out his tongue at him: "No, slightly!!"

"Didn't my mother pass away earlier?" She turned back to the topic and said seriously, "My mother had a very good relationship with my father when she was alive. After she passed away, my father has never been able to get out. Because my mother and I look very similar, So every time he faces me, he will think of his mother, and after dealing with the matter, he escapes reality and goes to Canada... I don't quite understand, grandpa told me so."

"So I won't fall in love with others, and I feel that one day in the future I won't be able to accept such sadness." Lin Xingning himself had long since dismissed his mother's early death, but seeing Yamaguchi's sad face, even Yue Dao was silent down.

She dryly cheered up the atmosphere: "By the way, my mother is a very beautiful beauty."

Yamaguchi and Tsukishima did not speak.

"Hey... just complaining, you guys are too uncooperative."

Yamaguchi looked a little sad, and asked with concern: "Lin Sang...don't you feel lonely usually?"

Lin Xingning didn't even blink his eyes: "No way."

...Yamaguchi has nothing to say.

Lin Xingning sighed: "Yamaguchi-san, thank you for caring about me. I probably know that many people will become pessimistic after experiencing such a thing.

"But things have happened, and no matter how much I immerse myself in grief, it will not change the fact, and it will even hurt people who care about me and make them worry. And I am working hard to go to school, live, and make friends with others. I I feel very happy, so don’t think I should be lonely and sad just because of that experience.”

It was the first time that Yue Dao knew the reason why Lin Xingning's personality did not match the "setting". Same thing happened.

Unlike some people who have a lot of things but their brains are naturally optimistic, she is in order to maintain an optimistic personality so that she doesn't care about many things, right?

"I'm sorry," Yamaguchi was silent for a while, "I see."

Lin Xingning was still wondering why Yuedao didn't say a word, turned his head, and met his eyes that he hadn't had time to look back.

"...Are you an elder of my family? What are you rejoicing about?"

The next day's practice included hill sprinting. After Lin Xingning and Qing Shui prepared water and towels, they sat at the entrance of the gymnasium and chatted together, occasionally saying hello to passing basketball players.

This sitting is more than an hour.

Qing Shui looked at his watch strangely: "Why is today's sprint extra long?"

"Yes, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?" Lin Xingning said, "Why don't I go over and have a look, and call senior after confirming the situation?"

"Ok."

Just as Lin Xingning changed his shoes, he saw the people from the volleyball team come back.

Sugawara is still blaming Hinata and Kageyama: "It's too much to get lost!"

Qing Shui also heard the voice, and together with Lin Xingning distributed water and towels to them.

Near the end of practice, Mr. Takeda came again, called everyone to sit in a circle, and seriously talked about the Tokyo expedition.

"... Regarding the Tokyo Expedition, the school basically agreed, and will send a request for comments to everyone's parents later. There are no other questions."

"But next month, there will be a final exam, you know that?"

Lin Xingning didn't hear anything until Mr. Takeda repeated: "You know?"

She followed Takeda-sensei's gaze, and Hinata, Kageyama, Nishitani, and Tanaka turned their heads to look in other directions, already beginning to escape from reality.

"If you fail the final exam, you will have to take supplementary tuition at that time, and then you will not be able to go on an expedition!" Takeda-sensei pushed his glasses: "I hope everyone will be aware."

"What...what to do!! How much is the pass?"

"Tanaka and Nishitani escaped!"

"Yuanxia stop them!"

"Kageyama has lost consciousness!!!"

"Haha, the whine of a fool."

a mess.

After Sawamura strictly ordered the idiot foursome to study hard, everyone disbanded and went home.

On the way home, Lin Xingning asked Yamaguchi: "Mr. Yamaguchi, I didn't have the nerve to ask just now, what is the passing score?"

"Eh? Lin Sang doesn't know? It's 40 points."

"40 points? Isn't that easy?"

Tsukishima interrupted: "You underestimate the idiot."

When Lin Xingning was still talking about Yue Dao not to use idiots as pronouns, he heard voices calling them from behind.

"Tsukishima! Lin-san! Yamaguchi!"

The three turned their heads and found Hinata and Kageyama catching up.

"Please, in order to go on an expedition to Tokyo, please teach us to learn!" Hinata shouted, bending over and bowing.

Yue Dao was a little surprised by the other party's intentions, but he still refused: "No."

Yamaguchi knew that Tsukishima refused because he thought it was troublesome, so he smoothed things over: "Just teach them before and after club activities."

"Is it enough for you to teach them? Why should I?"

"Because Lin Sang will go with Tsukishima when she returns home," Hinata explained straightforwardly, "otherwise she will get lost."

Lin Xingning was about to refute: In a real sense, I only got lost once, okay?And the way home has been going for more than a month, can I still not remember?Also, what right do you have to say about me if you lost your way in the hills today!

"It does make sense." Tsukishima rarely agreed with Hinata's words.

He smiled maliciously again: "Hey, that big guy over there, let the little guy come out and ask others, why don't you say anything?"

Yingshan struggled in his heart for a long time, and reluctantly said: "Please... teach me to learn."

"What did you say?"

"Please teach me to learn."

"It's too windy and I can't hear you."

"..." Kageyama bowed suddenly and shouted, "Teach me, bastard!!!"

The door of the Sakashita Convenience Store was pulled open, and Coach Wuyang roared, "Don't yell in front of other people's stores at night!"

The five scolded people shifted their positions.

Originally, Yamaguchi didn't mind spending time teaching Hinata and Kageyama, so only Tsukishima and Lin Xingning had their opinions.

"Just a period of time before and after the end of practice," Tsukishima said in a dismissive tone, "don't bother me at other times."

On the contrary, Lin Xingning was a little hesitant: "I will be stricter in my studies, is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter! The stricter the better for us now!" Hinata replied firmly.
