Black Basket - The World's No. 1 Idiot's Guide to Growing a Man

Yui Aoki also thinks today is a good day to confess.

In the back alley near the school, he was thinking about how to confess, and he imagined what words the other party would use to refuse, but unexpectedly, the other party spoke before him.

"Don't say it." Kise quickly covered Yuiya's lips with his hand, preventing him from blurting out the words.

Wei also froze, half of his attention was attracted by Kise's fingers.

Kise's fingers are not as delicate and beautiful as they look.Wei also knows that there is a layer of thin calluses on his fingertips and fingertips, which are rough and very inconsistent with the appearance, but Wei also likes that kind of touch-it makes Kise like an ordinary person, who has paid for basketball A hot-blooded teenager who sweats and works hard, not the glamorous but strange and distant plane models in magazines.

Yuiya distractedly noticed Kise's finger resting on his lips, while thinking about what the other party said just now.

Don't say it.

...What don't you say?Wei also looked at him quietly.

"Don't say it," Kise emphasized again, the golden hair against the light, reflected in Yuiya's eyes, like the down feathers of a chick.But Wei also knew that the person in front of him would soon become full-fledged and fly away from him with flapping wings.

"Weiye... don't say... say it, we don't even have to be friends."

I know.

Wei also nodded in her heart, affirming what Kise said.

Kise is such a person. When a girl confesses to him, if Kise chooses to refuse, then even if she sees him from a distance on the road, Kise will take a detour to avoid her.If you accidentally bump into him, you will greet him with a smile, and then turn your head and complain about your bad luck.

But Wei is not reconciled.

I like you, it's fine if you pretend not to know, but do you want me to pretend not to know too?

Wei Ye stood stiffly on the spot, and after a stalemate with Huang Lai for a while, he whispered: "I don't want to be friends with you."

Probably because of nervousness, Weiye's voice was so hoarse and dry that he wanted to cover his ears.

Kise was a little at a loss, and made a pause gesture to Wei Ye, trying to stop the other party's words: "Wei Ye! We are just friends...!"

One sentence drove Wei Ye into the bottom of the valley.

Although Yuiya still had no expression on his face, only one sentence floated in his heart in a mess.

Ha, it only gives me the option to shut up.

When Wei Ye's thoughts settled down, he suddenly felt that he was very miserable-very ridiculous.

"...I like you." Lowering his head, Wei also no longer looked at the face he had admired for seven years: "I don't want any relationship between us other than lovers."

——Not relatives, nor friends.

Wei also guessed the other party's expression now, but didn't have the courage to look up.

Probably different from the past, the smile disappeared and his face was solemn.

Yui also wanted to mess up Kise's hair as usual and tell him 'it's okay, I'm here. '

But this time, Wei also felt that she was not qualified to comfort the other party.Because he is a man, because his feelings for Kise are both dirty and nasty, maybe when he touches Kise, he will find him disgusting, and of course because, he, Aoki Yui, wants to cry far more than Kise— — Ha... oops.

Wei also found that her eyes were dry and painful - in short, she couldn't cry.

"Graduation in three months." Wei also tried to make her voice sound as flat as usual: "What are your plans?"

Kise didn't have the heart to answer Weiye's sudden question, his mind was still full of what Weiye said to him just now, flustered, confused and mixed with other things that even Kise himself didn't understand, and finally said incoherently: "Yuiya...I, I have someone I like...so I can't...accept you..."

"Don't discuss this matter for the time being," Wei Ye finally raised his head, clenched his fists at his side tightly, not as calm as on the surface, but he still asked with a smile: "Tell me first, you told me last time As you said, the wish to continue your studies and go to Haichang hasn’t changed, right?”

"No." Kise shook his head in a panic, subconsciously turned his face away and did not dare to meet Wei Ye's eyes: "Wei Ye... where are you going? When I asked you last time, you didn't tell me... one, it must be the same Haichang, right? Just like in the past, we have always been in the same school and one class, and you are always sitting on my right... Yuiya, I pretend I didn’t hear what you said just now, let’s calm down and we will definitely be good friends again relation……"

"Huase!"

Wei also took a deep breath, looked at Kise who was a full head taller than her, raised her hand to pinch his cheek, and let Kise's wandering eyes fall on him: "Calm down, listen to me."

"...Weiya?" Kise suddenly felt inexplicably wronged. His childhood sweetheart hadn't been intimate with him for a long time, but now he suddenly returned to the past... Kise immediately leaned down to make it easier for the other party to pinch his cheek, and looked at Weiye with tears in his eyes. Obediently, almost eagerly.

Wei also noticed the opponent's small movements, paused, and then looked at Huang Lai seriously: "I won't be here in the future, you should continue to practice basketball well... It's rare that you persisted for two years and didn't miss a single practice."

"Not here? How is it possible? I... Could it be that Yuiya's wish is not Haichang?!" Kise was taken aback, then raised his voice: "Weiya! Are you going to another high school?"

Wei didn't answer, just loosened the fingers pinching the other's cheek, showing a wry smile.

—Look, it's always like this... because you're used to it?Get used to that I am always by your side, never leave, get used to all your thoughts, and I will follow through.

"Kose...you listen to me!" Weiye exerted strength on his hands, and Kise let go of his strength in pain.

"I know you like Heizi-san..." Weiya looked into Kise's brown eyes and said softly.

"No, no, I love Xiao Heizi! Yes... yes..." Kise's cheeks flushed suddenly, and he interrupted Yuiya nervously. I don't know if it was pinched, or because Yuiya said the central thing was embarrassing , some incoherent.

"...Since you like it, don't give up, at least, go and confess," Wei Ye sighed, and gently pressed his forehead against Huang Lai's: "I will pray for your success."

Huang Lai was stunned, didn't speak, just obediently let the other party get close, enjoying the closeness that the two of them hadn't had for a long time, both of them were silent.

After a while, Kise complained with some disappointment.

"But he doesn't like me..." Huang Lai's voice was a little sluggish: "He never takes a good look at me."

"He has seen you, he has seen you very seriously." Wei also whispered: "He told me that Kise is a very talented person, and he is serious and hardworking..."

"Really? Little Heizi, did he really say that?!"

"Student Heizi is a good player, and he cherishes every teammate very much... Kise has a good vision." Wei Ye laughed while talking, feeling that he was really pitiful and hateful—look, that's it, he actually used an outsider Use his identity to match the person he likes and his rival in love.

"Wei Ye..."

"In the future, I will find classmate Heizi when I get home from school. You can chat more on the way after school, and you can always find something to talk about. This is the breakthrough point."

"But Yuiya, what about you?"

"I can't be a light bulb." Yuiya finally let go of Kise's cheeks and made him stand up straight.

Then he said in a very relaxed tone: "In normal practice, you should pay attention to your physical condition. The last time you had a fever of 39 degrees, you still managed to practice. I had to ask for leave to take care of you."

"I'm sorry, Yuiya."

"Just know I'm sorry." Wei Ye patted him on the shoulder, as friendly as a friend: "Every morning, you have to set your own alarm clock, don't always expect me to call you."

"Huh? We're only separated by a balcony, so it's good to call me when Yuiya wakes up~"

"Idiot... I can't call you for the rest of my life. In short, you must set the alarm clock from today. "

"Understood..." Kise replied reluctantly.

"Also, I have to do my own homework in the future, and I won't lend it to you to copy."

"Hey?!"

"You have done a good job cleaning the room recently, but remember to clean out the closet. When I went to see it yesterday, a lot of clothes were almost moldy! If you don't wear them, wash them and donate them!

Remember to close the windows of the room at night, don't always open them wide, it will be December soon...you will catch cold.

After strenuous exercise, don’t always try to cool down and drink ice water, drink warm water, remember?

Also, model work and basketball are important, but you can't let go of your studies. If you don't rely on sports to add points to your current grades, it would be very difficult in Shanghai!Don't be complacent every time you score [-] points in the exam!

Finally... Loud noises are not allowed in the library. I have said this many times, but you never change it! "Wei also paused, licked his dry lips, and finally added: "... remember what I said. "

You must remember these instructions, and... remember that I like you.

"Yuiya? What's the matter? Why are you saying this to me all of a sudden?"

"...It's just a sudden thought." Wei Ye continued, "You can be more careful in the future... It's too pitiful to be bullied all the time."

"Yuiya?" Kise finally realized something was wrong.

A little flustered, more clueless, and finally seemed to have noticed something, Kise frowned: "You just said that you will not be by my side in the future... Where are you going? Do you want to go to a high school far away?" It doesn't matter, our two families are next to each other, so we can easily see each other after school!" Kise said, suddenly slumped his shoulders and made a compromise: "Otherwise, which high school does Wei Ye go to? I'll go with you... ..."

After the words came out of his mouth, Kise suddenly regained his energy, and stared at Wei Ye with sparkling eyes: "That's right... I'll just go to the same high school as Wei Ye!"

"...Impossible." Wei Ye twitched the corners of his mouth as a smile, and spit out a few words in Huang Lai's flustered expression: "It's too far away."

"Too far... what? Where are you going, Weiye?!"

"I'm going to Australia." Wei Ye said softly, and quickly explained the matter: "Father's personnel transfer, he will go to Australia for a job, and of course our whole family will follow. Actually... this matter was settled two months ago, But I have never had a chance to tell you... I may rarely return to Japan in the future. If my father does not transfer back to Japan, I guess I will go to university there. You..." Wei Ye paused, "You know , I have always liked small animals, and I want to study veterinary medicine, the conditions there are better, I can open a small clinic... In the future... I will get married and have children there in the future."

Speaking of this, Wei couldn't help but smile.

"If one day you become an international superstar..." Wei Ye looked into Kise's eyes and said slowly, "Remember to come and play...Of course, I will still go back to Japan during the winter and summer vacations. Grandma and grandpa are still here. Willing to go to Australia..."

"I don't allow it."

The voice of suppressing hot anger sounded, Wei Ye was stunned, just about to speak, but his wrist was grabbed and locked firmly against the wall, causing him to stagger and almost fell.

"I won't allow it." Kise had a sullen face, as angry as if betrayed by Yuiya.

Wei Ye slowly leaned against the wall to stabilize himself, looked up at Huang Sete in surprise, and choked out a sentence for a long time, "...don't let me go?" Wei Ye hoarsely asked, "What qualifications do you have...?" so.

Kise heard that, the palm holding Weiya's wrist exerted strength for a moment, the pain was so painful that Weiya was so clever that he was even more unwilling.

Look, this is Kise.

He guarded his toy sand table as stubbornly as a child, refusing the intrusion of others, and also refusing his own people to leave the country—and he, Yui Aoki, was placed in the middle of the sand table by Kise Ryota, dumbfounded, with nowhere to go .

Kise Ryota...why do you abuse me like this.

"Kose, remember what you said just now?" Wei Ye turned cold, unable to force herself to smile anymore, broke away from Kise's fingers holding his wrist, step by step, slowly moved away from Kise to catch him again Scope: "If I tell you I like you - even friends can't do it."

Kise was about to follow, but when he heard this sentence, he paused and froze in place, his expression that was frozen like ice became flustered.

"We are not even friends anymore, what qualifications do you have to say that we are not allowed to go?"

"No, no, Yuiya, no!" Kise stood at the same place helplessly. He was obviously a big man of 1.8 meters [-], but at the moment he looked a little shy, as if he had been reprimanded by his master with his ears raised. The big dog wanted to get close to Yuiya, but didn't dare to take a step forward.

Wei also knows why.

Kise said that his gesture of rejecting a person is very simple, his whole body is tense, like a cat with fried fur.

That's how he looks now.

Back straight and straight, with a tired and irritable expression, even the breath around the body is very tense, as if as long as someone takes a step closer, Wei Ye will run away without looking back.

"My visa and passport are all done, and I'll leave after the graduation ceremony." Wei Ye touched the blue wrist that was pinched by Kise just now: "It hurts so much."

Kise stared at Weiya's wrist, with a regretful and guilty expression on his face. He wanted to get close but didn't dare, so he apologized on the spot: "I'm sorry, Weiya! I, I didn't mean it! Let's go to the health room!"

But the answer he got was Yuiya shaking his head silently.

Kise also knew that he couldn't force the other party, so he had to give up, standing there seemed to be thinking about his words, and then he explained in a stuttering manner: "Wei Ye, I don't want you to go, I don't want you to go to Australia, and we are friends, we will be together forever yes……"

"Who cares?" Wei Ye interrupted him.

Wei also felt very ridiculous.

He obviously likes the person in front of him to the point of going crazy, but he still maintains a ridiculous self-esteem, clinging to the world that belongs to Yuiya Aoki - unwilling to bow his head and beg him to like him and give him a chance.

It would be great if he, Aoki Yui, could be more cheap.

Maybe he can hand over a love letter openly like a girl, asking Kise to take a look at his own heart, and see how obsessed Yui Aoki is with Kise Ryota - unable to extricate himself.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm not that cheap.

So now, he is still standing on an equal line with Kise, and he can still look at Kise, instead of looking up at Kise humbly, a poor creature.

Wei Ye stared at Kise's face with a hurt expression, and said again: "Who cares about being friends with you?"

I don't want to be your friend at all.

——That would be an insult to my liking for you.

"Kise Ryota," Yuiya said without a word, "If you don't like me, just let me go."

I have loved you for seven full years, maybe longer.

I can't wait, and I don't want to wait any longer.

It's not that I don't like you, I just like you too much.

But if I keep chasing the sun that I can never catch up with, the result, probably like Kuafu, will be exhausted sooner or later—I will die of exhaustion in my own footsteps.

In the end, there was only one sentence left in Yui, as if he had exhausted all his strength to spit out: "I'm so tired."
