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

After leaving the school gate, they had to walk together for a while.

It happened to be noon, and the sun, as bright as gilt, poured down, casting dazzling golden spots on the pink flowers that covered the branches.Sunlight fell on Utasaki Aira's dark green pupils through the thin translucent petals, and the too strong light made her narrow her eyes slightly.

Walking in front of her were members of the volleyball club. Hinata Xiangyang seemed particularly excited, bouncing around Utazaki Aira—although she didn't know how Hinata Xiangyang managed to push the bicycle while bouncing around. old man.

After going down a slope, they stopped at the entrance of a shop called "Sakashita". As the minister, Da Sawamura said that he would treat everyone to eat steamed stuffed buns.

"Utasaki-san, shall we try steamed buns too?" When speaking to her, Sawamura Daichi's tone was obviously more polite and polite.

"Eh? Me?" Utasaki Aira was stunned for a moment, "Is this okay?"

As the head of the volleyball club, Daichi Sawamura invited his members to eat as a matter of course, but Utasaki Aira was not a member of the volleyball club.

Daichi Sawamura smiled and nodded: "Take it as a return gift for the condolences brought by Utazaki-san."

"Then, thank you Sawamura-senpai." Utasaki Aira agreed after hesitating for a second.

Five or six energetic teenagers huddled in front of Sakashita's store, chattering like a flock of crows, and the crow named Hinata was the noisiest one.

Hinata-kun is so energetic.Utazaki Aira stood two steps away from them, looking at them thinking.

It didn't take long to buy steamed buns. After a few minutes, Daji Sawamura opened the door of Sakashita's store and walked out with two bags of steamed buns.

Hinata Xiangyang was probably hungry, and those condolences were just snacks, which were of no use to a young volleyball player who had exercised too much. At this time, he leaned forward with bright eyes and took one of the bags of buns.

Although he was hungry, Hinata Xiangyang did not forget Utasaki Aira who came to watch his game.

"What kind of steamed bun would Utasaki-san want to eat? Meat? Or curry?" Hinata Xiangyang offered her two choices.

"Hmm... Curry?" Utasaki Aira thought for a while.

"Okay." Hyuga Xiangyang handed the steamed bun over, "Here—the curry steamed stuffed bun."

Utazaki Aira gently pinched the bun with her fingers, and tentatively took a bite.The skin of the dough is very thin. After biting it, you can taste the curry with a strong sweet taste. It is mixed with finely chopped carrots and potatoes. After a long time of stewing, it brings a soft taste.

Utasaki Aira praised: "The buns are delicious."

"I think it's delicious too!" Hinata Xiangyang said vaguely while chewing the buns.

The seniors who got together on the other side ended their discussion, and Sawamura Daichi turned his head to look at Hinata: "—Is that right, Hinata?"

Hinata Xiangyang, who had no idea what they were talking about, looked over while chewing on the buns blankly: "?"

The air was silent for a few seconds, and finally Daichi Sawamura burst into a loud voice with a dark face: "—Hinata!!!"

Facing the black face of Daji Sawamura, Utasaki Aira took a few steps back without hesitation, and stayed away from the battlefield: Although Senior Sawamura looked like he was about to kill someone, but he probably wouldn't let Hinata-kun die because of a trivial matter from the street?

Probably because the noise on the street was too loud, the owner of the Sakashita store couldn't bear it and opened the door: "Be quiet, you're from the volleyball club!!!"

In the end, all the volleyball club members lined up like quails and bowed in front of the Sakashita store to apologize.

……

Passing the crossroads of the Sakashita store, Hinata Shoyo was the last person to go with Utasaki Aira.

Utazaki Aira lowered her eyes and stared at the shadows reflected on the rough concrete floor. The reflections walking side by side were very close, as if they were close to each other.

"By the way...Speaking of which, I have to thank Hinata-kun properly."

Hinata Xiangyang was stunned for a moment: "Thank you?"

"That's right." Utazaki Aira bent her eyes and smiled, her long black hair fell down with her movements, drawing a soft arc in the air.

When Utasaki Aira raised her hand to gently cover her lips, Hinata Xiangyang noticed her shiny nails under the sun - a nude color that would not show off, and the glitter that was solidified on the fingernails would only appear in the sun.

"A few days ago when I applied to the art department, I had to take an admission test. When I was struggling with what to draw, I turned my head and saw Hinata-kun practicing volleyball from the window."

"When Hinata-kun is facing volleyball, he is always full of vigor and vitality like the sun. It is so dazzling and full of life. Thinking of this, I think it must be great to draw this scene."

"Sure enough, as I expected, I successfully passed the entrance examination."

Utazaki Aira's tone is light, but she speaks softly and evenly, allowing Hinata Xiangyang to hear every word she uttered.While speaking, she lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, and did not look straight at Hinata Xiangyang until her voice faded away.

The noon light fell into the emerald pupils from the side, and at that moment Hinata Xiangyang even felt that he was shining in Utasaki Aira's eyes.

"So, this is all thanks to Hinata-kun."

she said softly.

"No, no." Hinata Xiangyang felt his face was burning hot, and his emotions immediately became tense, "In the end, Utasaki-san draws well, and it is really amazing to pass the entrance examination. My words are at best to give Utasaki-san a little bit." Just inspiration..."

"But this bit of inspiration is the most important thing." Utasaki Aira looked solemn, "I want to give this painting to Hinata-kun—just as a thank you gift?"

"Huh?" Hinata Xiangyang showed a flattered expression, "Is it really possible?"

"Of course, but I put that painting in school," Utazaki Aira thought for a while, "I'll give it to you on Monday?"

"Of course no problem!" Hinata Xiangyang happily agreed.

——Very well, there is also a valid reason for the next meeting.Utazaki Aira smiled triumphantly in her heart.

"...I'm home," Utasaki Aira stopped, "See you next week, Hinata-kun."

It was only at this time that Hinata Xiangyang realized that Utasaki Aira had already arrived home-this fork in the road represented the node of separation.

When we were together with Utazaki-san, time passed so quickly - Hinata Xiangyang thought, subconsciously ignoring the sudden slight sense of loss.

"Speaking of which, I've always had a question..." She turned her eyes and stared at Hinata Xiangyang who was only wearing short sleeves, "Don't Hinata-kun feel cold? It's obviously a day when you have to cover yourself with a thick quilt at night."

"Huh?" Hinata Xiangyang uttered a doubtful monosyllable from the depths of his throat.

Although the winter has passed, the early spring is still full of air-conditioning.

At least Utasaki Aira is honestly wearing a three-piece suit with a long-sleeved shirt, a beige knitted vest and a blue suit jacket, but Hinata Xiangyang wears thin clothes without fear in this cold or hot temperature. Short sleeves and shorts, and a tracksuit jacket was hooked in his arms.

"I don't think it's cold." Hinata Xiangyang replied, he realized the seasonal differences between himself and Utasaki Aira in terms of clothing, and after thinking about it, he said, "...Because Utasaki-san said girls, so maybe she is more afraid of the cold ?”

"Hinata-kun." His face was reflected in the girl's dark green pupils, "Can you extend your hand?"

Hinata Xiangyang turned his head subconsciously, and after hearing Utasaki Aira's request, he spread his hands to her for no reason.

Immediately, he was caught off guard by the cool body temperature transmitted from his skin - that was the temperature of Utasaki Aira.

She stretched out her hand, tentatively pressed it against Hinata Xiangyang's palm with her fingertips and half of her palm, and then quickly pulled it away after feeling the scorching heat under her palm—this was a subtle touch that did not exceed three seconds.

"Hinata-kun's body temperature is so high." Her tone seemed a little surprised, as if she really just did it just to test the temperature.

Shoyo Hinata, who didn't realize that Utasaki Aira had taken advantage of him, gradually stopped stiffly and froze in place.

I was touched by Utasaki-san... Is this considered holding hands? !

After a brief brain shutdown, Hinata Xiangyang realized that this was the first time in his life that he had such contact with a person of the opposite sex other than his mother and sister that exceeded the normal social scope.

What is this development? !

Immediately, the abnormal red surged up, turning Hinata Xiangyang's whole body into pink, and even the top of his orange hair faintly had overheated steam wafting out.

"Uta, Uta Utasaki-san?!"

He jumped up as if being pricked by a needle, curled up and clenched the hand touched by Utasaki Aira just now, the bicycle fell to the ground because of the loss of supporting strength, and the wheels spun in circles and made a creaking sound.

"What's wrong?" Utasaki Aira blinked her thick eyelashes innocently, "I just want to try it out, to see if Hinata-kun is really not cold...it seems to be true, Hinata-kun is amazing."

Faced with the beautiful girl's bright eyes and the compliment of "Awesome", Hinata Xiangyang's whole body became more flushed, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that his whole body is a red shrimp that was fished out after cooking.

"...That, it was a bit too sudden, so I was taken aback." Hinata Xiangyang's voice unconsciously lowered, his eyes drifted and looked at the sky and the earth, but he refused to look at Utasaki Aira.

So it's just a natural physical touch between classmates, right?Even if we're of the opposite sex, it's not a big deal, Utazaki-san probably just treats me as a friend, that's why he acted like this... don't think too much, don't think too much.Hinata Xiangyang took a deep breath.

Damn, I can't stop thinking about it! ! !

He raised his hand in despair to cover his flushed face.

Utasaki Aira pointed to the bicycle that fell on the ground: "Hinata-kun, your bicycle fell down."

She watched Hinata Xiangyang scrambling to help the bicycle that fell on the ground, and moved her fingers hidden in the cuffs of her suit lightly—because of the angle, Hinata Xiangyang did not see her ear tips covered by long black sideburns , has turned crimson.

The fingertips and palms seemed to still have the scorching heat from when they touched Hinata Xiangyang just now. After the spring breeze brewed, that temperature gradually became hot and swollen, and the indescribable emotions swelled to the point of overflowing in the atrium.

Hinata Xiangyang's thoughts were a little confused. When he picked up the bicycle, he still couldn't restrain his disobedient heart that started beating wildly, and the fingertips connected to the blood vessels trembled a little.

He didn't dare to look directly at Utasaki Aira, he only dared to take a light glance at her from the corner of his eye, and his eyes frantically retracted after touching the girl's beautiful profile.

He lowered his head with a flushed face, "Well, Utasaki-san..."

"puff."

Hinata Xiangyang's stammering tone and expression made Utazaki Aira laugh uncontrollably.

Seeing her laugh, Hinata Xiangyang stopped his flustered words in embarrassment.

"Hinata-kun, don't get me wrong—I won't do the same to other boys casually."

Utazaki Aira walked a few steps towards the fork in the road, stopped walking and turned around after she finished speaking.

There was a smile in her tone, and her smile was brighter than the cherry blossoms on the branches.

"Because Hinata-kun is special."
