Xiangyang-kun, come here

=========================

Outside the gymnasium, I walked around aimlessly, and in desperation found that there was indeed only one official passage.

I:"……"

I walked back slowly.

On the eve of the start of the game, it should be said that everyone was walking in to occupy their seats, and not many people stayed at the door.

"Hey! Oikawa-san!"

"This is the cake I made after staying up all night for three days!"

"This is a bento I made with my own hands, Oikawa-san, please do your best!"

Noisy and murmuring, the voices that didn't fit in with the surrounding made me glance sideways.

It was a boy surrounded by a group of girls. He kept smiling, and his voice was gentle and frivolous, "Hey—it was hard work, thank you."

It has to be said that the appearance is too good-looking, and it is simply a luminous body in the crowd.

I glanced at the "luminous body" and continued to walk towards the door.

A young man walked out of the door head-on - very fierce looking.

I silently turned to the left, trying to stay away from him, who knew that the other party looked fierce, but seemed to be extremely polite in his heart, so he walked around me silently.

However, we were going around the same place, I went left and he went right, and we ran into each other.

Not a big problem.There is still a distance between us.

I changed direction expressionlessly.

He also changed one at the same time.

I:"……"

Iwaizumi: "..."

……Oops.My face was paralyzed, but my heart beat hard.

The other party is a boy with a hanging eye and a natural vicious look that I am the worst at dealing with.

Originally, he seemed to be furious and ready to go forward to find someone, but this little episode made his angry expression slightly eased.

He stood still and looked at me with "You first, please" written in his eyes.

I beeped softly: "...Thank you."

"..." The pupils in the other party's eyes are very small, and the whole person looks extremely fierce. Hearing this, his eyes widened slightly for a moment and then recovered, his lips kept curling down. He nodded at me and politely looked away.

I walked forward and passed him.

"Huh? Xiaoyan, I didn't expect that." A teasing voice sounded from behind me, it sounded like someone who had just been surrounded by girls.

I didn't look back, but the boy reacted to this when I passed by, and instantly exploded with a terrifying aura hundreds of times.

I was startled, froze for a second, then walked away quickly.

"Ah—Xiaoyan, you seem to be scared..."

I didn't hear the words behind me and quickly entered the gate.

Entering the arena, there is a wide and tall volleyball court. Most of the audience seats are school students. Occasionally, there are a few adults in regular clothes, sitting on the seats talking and laughing.

It was such a big place, I lost my direction in an instant, and looked around nervously looking for Karasuno's site.

The most powerful one was Date Industrial High School, and the cheerleaders were screaming.

I first went to the railing and looked down. In the volleyball court below, the players of each team were already in place, warming up and preparing.

I saw Xiangyang at a glance, he was talking to his teammates.

I only looked at it for a few seconds, and he looked back as if feeling something.

Seeing me, Xiangyang cheered up immediately, raised a smile, and waved his arms.

I was far away and couldn't hear his voice. Just as I was about to wave my hand, the teammates around him immediately looked over like wolves.

Xigu Xi and the others: Stare at——

I:"……"

Xiangyang stared, and after a few seconds, he waved his arm and tried to point in one direction.

I looked along the past - Karasuno's territory.

... Well, he saw at a glance that I was dazzled and couldn't find a place.

Just at this moment, a black banner belonging to Wuye was hung on the railing.

I walked over and circled most of the auditorium.

At Karasuno's site, I originally planned to sit in the middle seat. There were two people who put up the banner, both wearing glasses, a teacher and a student.

The girl with dark blue hair looked back at me without warning.

I didn't respond, thinking it was just a random look.

She came over to me.

I:"?"

She stopped in front of me and stretched out her hand, "Hi, I'm Kiyoko Shimizu. A third grader."

I stood up and held her, "Hello senior, Ainoe, first grader."

"You're here to watch Hinata's match," she said, her voice clear.

I'm……"

Instead, Senior Shimizu briefly explained the reason for coming, "Because I saw Hinata was looking this way, I guessed that you should be behind."

me……"

Me: "Senior Qingshui want to go down?"

"Well, I need to help push the cart for the practice ball before the game." Kiyoko Shimizu pointed to the front seat, "It's better to sit in the first row, or stand on the railing. The teacher and I will go down later. "

It was the first time I met a senior senior sister, so I agreed.

…I suddenly thought about my meager phone contact count.

Taking another look at the pretty senior Shimizu in front of him, he suddenly wanted to try again, to take the initiative.

Perhaps, this is the opportunity to share in the circle of friends after the legendary exchange.

I took a deep breath: "I..."

Shimizu Kiyoko: "Huh?"

I said with a wooden face, "...Come on, senior."

She nodded, although there was not much expression on her face, but she could feel the kindness exuding from her, "Yes."

Senior Shimizu walked down, and I stared at her back expressionlessly for a moment.

Because I don't know how to say...

I go to the railing.

-

At this moment, Hinata Xiangyang and Xiguxi below clenched their fists and wept: "Damn it...! We failed, Aino/Xiaohui!"

Tokio Kageyama: "?"

Tobio Kageyama: "You guys, what are you doing?"

Ryunosuke Tanaka: "It's that one! That one!"

Kageyama: "..."

Which?

-

Before the start of the game, Xiangyang and the others were still making jokes, and I was fascinated by watching the volleyball court.

In fact, I only understand the rules of volleyball and have watched a few games. Xiangyang finally found his teammates and was able to stand on the real court.

pretty good.

I am sincerely happy for him.

The huge gymnasium was full of voices, and the people below were discussing tactics fiercely, and the tense atmosphere spread.

The people above cheered and shouted, as excited as if they were going to play.

I looked up in a daze, and the white light on the top was more dazzling than the sun, illuminating the whole field, and every corner was not left behind.

A vacuum suddenly formed around me, no one spoke, no one passed by.

...a little craving for cake.I thought of the delicate cake that had just popped out of the pile of girls surrounding the guy.

Is that pursuing?But there are so many people?

I don't seem to have been chased.

I thought about the past carefully, and confirmed again, no one had indeed chased me.

Ok.

The game starts, both sides play.

Chang Bo's school performed very well, but it was not as good as Karasuno's.

The shocking feeling of the crow spreading its wings again filled the audience, especially the moment Xiangyang jumped up——

It was like flying, and when it landed, even the feathers of a crow fluttered down. A pair of eyes were like a falcon, and the red eyes like a crow aimed at the target in an instant, making people feel cold all over.

I keenly feel that this may be the beginning of the Karasuno volleyball team's take-off, this year, next year, and next year.

Xiangyang, who was playing volleyball, was also sharper, as if a tiger biting its flesh was ferociously unrelenting. His leg muscles exploded, he bent over, and sweat slowly dripped down his jawline.

"It seems that that shameful nickname will be thrown away." A voice suddenly sounded beside me.

A person stood side by side with me, also looking at the field from the railing.

I turned my head for a moment: "Sakai?"

She wears regular clothes during the holidays, tends to be neutral, and with short hair, she looks like a handsome person.

Sakai glanced at me, and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm eating with my dad's people nearby, now come for a stroll."

...and found me precisely?so strong...

I hummed, and returned to the original topic, "Indeed, not to mention winning the championship, it will definitely be possible to get rid of the bad nickname."

"Of course," Sakai said, looking at the arena from a distance, "teams that have been brilliant in the past are unwilling to be silent, and will have greater motivation to move forward."

"..." I felt there was something in her words, but I didn't reply.

Sakai directly pointed out, "Except for the boys' volleyball team, Karasuno's track and field team can be said to be mediocre, without historically brilliant results, and has always been in the middle and lower reaches, so..."

She didn't finish speaking, and I already understood the rest of the story.

Just like the top student who has always been No.1 suddenly retreats, she will definitely not be reconciled and will work harder to return to the top.

But if it is someone who has been ranked at the bottom since kindergarten, unless one day he becomes enlightened, otherwise he will always be unmotivated.

What is terrible is not the countdown result, but the heart that is used to countdown.

...It's a bit like the team in junior high school.Although the discipline of the high school track and field team is good, the initiative is still not enough.

Me: "...what do you want to say?"

Sakai said deeply: "I want to say, I can't find my teammates."

"????" I was shocked, "Is there still one person missing?"

"That's right..." Sakai was inexplicably guilty, "Next year's marathon is not a simple 800-meter long-distance race. People need to be determined to persevere. We are going for No. 1, not a round of sightseeing. We have to find One equally determined."

I get it, people around me don't talk about salted fish, and they don't have much goal of running.

"And the gold content of this competition is not very high, and the professional track and field training team is not interested in this."

I was very silent: "..."

Sakai: "Do you know anyone?"

Me: "...what do you think?"

Sakai paused, and then revealed a secret expression of both happiness and sadness.

There are a lot of contradictions, and the face is extremely strange.

I:"……??"

Although, what is she happy about? ? ?

"... Cough, so it's only me." Sakai looked at me reservedly.

Instead, I was suddenly sad and nodded.

Sakai is indeed the only female friend.

We were silent for a while, the field has entered the stage of extreme enthusiasm, Karasuno crushed, the victory is beyond doubt.

I thought about it, took out my phone and took a few pictures of Xiangyang.

Someone hummed softly.

I turned my head, Sakai looked normal.

I:"?"

Continue to watch the game.

Because in a sense, this is the first official game since Xiangyang High School, so I watched it seriously.

Me: "The other party has neglected to practice."

Sakai agreed: "Well, Chang Bo's practice seems to be insufficient."

I turned around: "But I also worked very hard. There are more people like them in sports."

Sakai agreed again: "Indeed, the sweat is not fake. It is more of ordinary people who leave the stage."

I said again: "Xiangyang jumps so high, the fast attack is too fierce."

He jumped up suddenly, sweat splashing in mid-air, reflecting the glaring white light on the top, the profile of his face was firm, and the force with which he swung his arms down made his heart tremble.

The men's volleyball team is simply "violent" aesthetics.

Sakai left without finishing, "Because my dad is waiting for me. Goodbye."

Me: "Goodbye Sakai."

And I saw that in the end, Karasuno won as a matter of course.

Everyone left the arena, the auditorium was more than half empty, and Xiangyang was alone in a daze in the arena.

I know it's his first taste of winning an official game, so naturally he can't take it lightly.

He said something to Kageyama on the opposite side, then laughed, ran towards the exit quickly, raised his head and waved at me before disappearing completely.

I came back to my senses, picked up my schoolbag and went out.

They still have a game in the afternoon, so they need to stay here, so they are free to move around at noon.

Just as I walked to the door, Xiangyang ran over, beaming with joy, "Xiaohui!"

Me: "Xiang...!?"

Before I finished speaking, he pounced unexpectedly, with a happy dog ​​expression on his face, not at all as timid and sharp as the red eyes of the crows on the field staring at the prey indifferently, he softened completely.

He hugged me too much, and I even took a few steps back. Xiangyang immediately hugged my waist and turned it into a support point, preventing me from retreating.

I changed from leaning back to leaning forward into his arms, all because of the direction of Xiangyang's force.

He doesn't have the boy's sweaty smell, but the hormones that belong to Xiangyang. Because of the full-scale exercise, he is steaming, his face is red and his heart is beating.

His fuzzy orange hair brushed against my ear, and his hot face was pressed against my neck and shoulders—maybe he didn't realize it, after all, he rarely put his face against the side of my neck before.

Xiangyang was so happy that he couldn't help himself: "We won, Xiaohui!"

The side of my neck was hot and itchy, very strange, but as soon as Xiangyang made a sound, I answered his words first, "You played very well."

"—" He seemed to be more happy, and there was a suppressed cheer in his throat.

I gently hugged him back, which means that the team uniform of No. [-] is very thin.

It took him a while to realize that he was sticking to my neck, crossing the line more than before, and slowly let go, staring at me and blinking twice, pursing his lips, hesitant to speak.

I didn't notice his tangled girlish thoughts, and asked, "Are you guys eating here?"

"...Well, eat something and rest for a while, and play Date Kogyo and the others in the afternoon."

I nodded, "Let's go then."

Their team dispersed and I had a meal with Xiangyang. Of course they couldn't take a nap and continued to practice nervously.

Kageyama and Xiangyang played against each other in the open space outside to practice catching the ball.

I was drowsy sitting on the stone bench next to me. After eating, it should be my biological clock to take a nap. Holding my schoolbag, I was really sleepy. Xiangyang and Yingshan played softly, and they didn’t try their best. Keep your strength, so the bang bang is not too loud, just hypnotic.

I took out the cloth cover, spread my schoolbag aside, put my feet outside, took out the stone bench, and fell asleep on the spot.

……

***

Sugawara and Daichi separated, walked towards Xiangyang and Kageyama who were playing in the open field, and earnestly begged the two juniors to make a way for Xuqing next.

Dong Fengxu suffered a disastrous defeat in the three-month competition. The opponent was Date Industry. The impenetrable iron wall made it impossible for Karasuno's attacking trump card to penetrate their offense and defense.

Dong Fengxu was too gentle and took all the responsibility on himself. For a while, he was discouraged and stopped playing. Today is the day when he will stand on the official court again.

Xiangyang and Yingshan agreed with serious expressions.

After Sugawara left, Kageyama also planned to rest for a while and walked into the gymnasium.

Xiangyang smiled: "Yingshan, go and rest first."

"...OK." Kageyama glanced at the sleeping girl next to him, and left on his own.

Xiangyang looked at his back and took a deep breath.

...Win the first game, like a dream, they must continue to win, only by continuing to win can they continue to play in the league.

He walked towards the stone bench, Xiao Hui was sleeping on the schoolbag, her black hair slipped out and hung on the edge of the stone bench, her face was pink from sleep, her body was covered with the square thin cloth she brought.

Just rest here.Xiangyang thought of it, so he sat beside her and breathed gently.

Her head was next to his thigh, and the young man rested his elbows on his knees, bent slightly, and lowered his head deeply.

Because of restraining his strength, he didn't sweat, and all the orange hair fell down. The boy's nape of the neck was smooth, and without the cover of the hair, he looked extremely tenacious. in the air.

He lowered his head and couldn't see his face, but he showed the sharpness of a boy.

Xiangyang's thoughts are rare and complicated. For a while, he thinks of being alone in junior high school, and for a while, he thinks of getting along with his teammates since entering high school.

... Definitely, must win.His breathing gradually increased, his eyes stared straight at the ground, like a falcon, covered with shadows.

The person beside him seemed to move slightly, Xiangyang regained his senses and tilted his head.

did not wake up.

He stared at her side face, his tense and complicated mood relaxed a little, Xiangyang stretched out his fingers and poked her face instinctively.

The girl's face was soft, and he touched her ears again, brushing away her hair, his movements were gentle, and it was another extreme from the ferocity of playing volleyball.

Xiangyang laughed, "Xiaohui."

She didn't wake up, so he didn't call again.

During the rest time, he looked at her quietly, he didn't know whether he was fascinated or fascinated, his lowered eyes covered his expression, it was too peaceful, Xiangyang's heart gradually calmed down.

No one bothers.

***

In the afternoon, I was called up by Xiangyang, and I separated from him at the entrance, and I went to the auditorium and sat down.

The strong opponent, Date Industry, is indeed very strong. I only think that the tall boy with white hair is very strong.

Even though it is big, its speed is not inferior.

The name of the iron wall is well-deserved.

Since Karasuno wanted to fly again, naturally he would not and could not break his halberd here, and they once again won the victory beyond everyone's spectacles.

Especially Xiangyang and Yingshan's monster rush.

Senior Dongfeng also broke through the high mountain that firmly blocked him.

I stared at Senior Dongfeng, and felt that he was like a bear with a gentle heart, reliable and cute.

Senior Shimizu stopped me when they went back, "Come back with us by car."

I was dazzled by the senior's second initiative to talk to me, so I agreed directly.

Xiangyang hurriedly raised his hand: "Then I will sit with Xiaohui!"

A day of competition made them exhausted, and even a few senior classmates who were curious and eager to ask questions when they saw me were so tired that they fell asleep on the spot as soon as they got in the car.

The same goes for Xiangyang, who insisted on talking to me with his eyelids stretched at first, and fell asleep with his head on one side after only a few minutes.

I saw him lying on his back, so I didn't care.

As a result, Xiangyang passed by an uneven road halfway, and Xiangyang was jolted awake for a moment. He opened his eyes in a daze, suddenly realized something, and glanced at me quietly.

Out of the corner of my eye, I knew what he was doing, but before I could turn my head to ask, Xiangyang closed his eyes again, leaned over pretending to lose his balance with very poor acting skills.

The eyeballs under the eyelids are moving around, the movements are slowed down, and they stick to my shoulders like a slow playback.

I watched him secretly smile with his eyes closed and his lips pursed, and fell silent.

... Isn't it hard work?Oh, he's not much taller than me, so it shouldn't be hard work.

So I continued to listen to the song calmly.

Xiangyang was excited by himself for a while, blushing like a girl, and almost stretched out his hands to hug her, like hugging a pillow.

Luckily he didn't because I'm hot and I'm sure I'd just push his head back on the backrest if he got too far.

……

Back at school, I greeted them first and went to the playground for a run.

"Go!!!!"

... Senior Nishitani's angry voice.

"I'll wait for you at the door, Xiaohui."

Xiangyang is still reminiscing the happiness of leaning on my shoulder when he woke up in the car, even his voice is erratic.

"Be careful, it's hard to see the runway at night."

Mr. Sugawara, who is careful every day.

"Yes. Blah blah blah blah"

Agreeing with what Sugawara-senpai said, he instructed a lot of Dongfeng-senpai himself.

"Be careful, Aino."

These are a few unremarkable words, but it can make people feel that she is really serious, serious and caring about Senior Shimizu.

……

In short, Tsukishima-kun, who hadn’t said anything in the end, had a meal, and everyone said something, but everyone looked at him without saying a word. Tsukishima Hotaru was indifferent on the surface, and had to say, "You go quickly."

"He treats everyone like this." Dadi laughed a few times, trying to buffer the embarrassment.

In fact, there was nothing embarrassing about me, so I politely replied, "Okay, you too, Tsukishima-kun."

Tsukishima Hotaru: "..."

Standing at the gate of the school, they should have gone back to the volleyball club, and there is nothing wrong with me saying that.

Besides, I think Tsukishima-kun is a nice person—because he is Xiangyang’s teammate—so I didn’t notice the thorn in his words at all, and responded with ordinary communication words.

Everyone: "..."

Xiangyang: "Unless Yue Dao is blunt and too blunt, Xiao E will not notice it."

I don't know why: "?"

Others suddenly realized, and looked over with kind eyes.

"..." I said, "I'm leaving...bye."

***

I ran a few laps, and Xiangyang finished practice and was ready to go home.

The moon hangs high in the sky, and the wind in the dark night is cool and comfortable, with occasional insects chirping in the wind.

We rode back, Xiangyang didn't say a word on the way, he seemed nervous and had a faint expectation.

When he arrived at my house, he was still nervous.

...Probably nervous about tomorrow's game?

I thought about it and said, "If you're really nervous, why don't we have a game of cards to relax?"

"???"

……

Of course Xiangyang agreed, he never seemed to refuse any request that did not involve my injury.

I silently dealt and drew cards silently. After a while, Xiangyang and I only had two or three cards left in our hands.

I gradually became serious, more nervous than him, staring at the joke card, praying strongly that he would win.

"I haven't lost this game yet." I said to relieve my emotions.

Xiangyang was stretching out his hand to draw my cards, he smiled when he heard this, "Really."

I only have two cards in my hand, and it can be said that the game will determine the outcome.

"Yes, because no one can see through my expression."

My mood changes don't show much on my face.

"Oh, that's it." Xiangyang smiled again, and his finger stopped on the card on the left.

It's a joker!I was overjoyed.

He stared at me, paused, and moved to the right again.

……Do not! !

I watched his fingers picking cards the whole time, holding my breath.

At this critical moment, Xiangyang suddenly said: "Actually, I can see through Xiaohui's expression."

...Hmmmmm? ? ?

He quickly drew a card, without any further hesitation, he opened it and took a look.

Joker.

Xiangyang sighed, "I lost."

I completely forgot that the purpose of this game was to let Xiangyang relax, and immersed myself in the ocean of victory, "I won."

Xiangyang looked at me carefully and smiled at me: "Yes, Xiaohui won."

He took the initiative to arrange the cards and put them in. It was getting late, and he should leave and go home.

Xiangyang smiled at the door: "Thank you, Xiaohui, I feel like I can fall asleep with a plop as soon as I go back!"

Me: "Then you work hard tomorrow."

"Uh-huh!"

Xiangyang left on his bicycle.

I also showered and fell asleep.

***

Xiangyang returned home, tidied up and threw himself on the bed, feeling sleepy.

Tomorrow... we must work hard.

His eyelids twitched and he quickly closed them.

Thinking back on the situation of today's game, he thought about how to improve it. After a while, the boy thought about the game on the way home just now.

... Well, just because I can see Xiaohui's expression, I know that she will be happy if she wins.

She was happy, and he was happy too.

……

Half asleep and half awake, the boy fell into a deep sleep.
