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

Kise couldn't solve this misunderstanding in the end... Rather, the more he explained, the more complicated it became, and Kasamatsu-senpai looked at him with pity in the end.

Huang Lai wanted to cry, but finally gave up, and really didn't want to continue the hypocrisy.

All he could think about was calling Yuiya, even if he didn't ask the man named William, just talking.

Although I often make some silent calls, but if I make too many calls, I will gradually become dissatisfied.

People are like this, when they don't have it, they go crazy in a hurry, but when they have it, they want it even more.

At first, I just wanted to hear Yuiya's voice... Even if it's just a skit like "Hey, who is that?", as long as I hear it, I will feel satisfied.

But now... Kise didn't want to hang up just hearing Yuiya's doubtful voice, he wanted Yuiya to talk to him, or even just listen to him.

Kise could occasionally hear something about Yuiya Australia from Heizi... But after all, it was relayed from Heizi, and the amount of information was pitifully small, only a few words.Like when Yuiya wakes up in the morning, the content of the conversation with friends, what is the meal for lunch... There is no such information... But it is a matter of course.How could Wei Ye talk about this with Heizi.

But Kise felt that it was impossible not to know.

Rather... as long as it's related to Yuiya, Kise wants to know, especially small daily things, the more detailed the better... But he didn't have a chance to know.

Huang Lai returned home and put down her schoolbag, and went to the second floor of the empty house next door.

He was lying on Weiye's bed with his pillow in his arms, staring in a daze at the photos of Weiye secretly taken in his phone before.

...I don't know what Yuiya is doing at this time.

The time difference between Japan and Australia is one hour, now it's about... Weiya finished dinner and sat at the desk to prepare textbooks?Wei Ye didn't go out much at night.

I heard from Heizi that Yui also made a new friend... I don't know what kind of person the new friend is... Could it be a girl? ... No, the boys are not too good either.

Kise was confused, he actually hoped that Yui could make friends, but at the same time he didn't want Yui to be able to make friends... This contradiction is simply irreconcilable.

Kise scratched her hair irritably, and finally sighed.

Speaking of which, none of his letters had been answered.

Kise knew that she would not be answered, but she was still a little disappointed.

Write down the daily little things and send them to Yuiya every day, in fact, I hope Yuiya can feel that Kise Ryota is still by Aoki Yuiya's side - so that Yui will not gradually forget him.

I also wondered if the other party didn't read it at all... But I insisted on writing letters. If I wrote a lot, the other party would always open one or two letters.

After thinking about it, Kise got up from the bed and opened his notebook to write a letter to the other party.

Halfway through writing, Kise couldn't write any more.

It's not that I don't know what to write, but that I want to write too much and don't know where to start.

In the end, Kise turned on the phone and stared at the screen for a long time.

I want to hear Yui's voice.

I want to know about Yuiya's recent situation.

I want to appear next to Yuiya and hug him tightly.

still want...

Thinking a lot...it's going crazy.

Even Kise himself couldn't believe that he could hold on for so long, never calling Yuiya, never seeing Yuiya, never touching Yuiya...

Every morning when I wake up, I always subconsciously go to the balcony to look at the opposite window.

When I was in class, I always looked sideways at the person sitting next to me.

When I go to buy drinks, I always buy an extra bottle of mineral water.

Occasionally, I see passers-by who are similar in stature to Yuiya, and I know it's not the other person, but I still follow behind for a while... It's like a stalker.

Huang Lai felt that he was in trouble, but he himself was powerless to reverse the situation.Kise felt that the only person who could break the curse was probably Yuiya.

Kise stared at the phone, staring at Weiya's number in a daze.

Wei Ye.

Wei Ye.

Wei Ye Wei Ye Wei Ye.

...Would you be surprised if Yui also received a call from him?

Or, in fact, Yui was also expecting him to make a call?

When you hear the phone ringing, you may hesitate to answer it, right?

Thinking about what the other party might do, what his expression would be like when he received the call, and what he would say, he suddenly felt unstoppable thoughts, and then pressed the dial button very naturally.

After moving the phone to his ear, Kise realized what he had done.

He shuddered, reflexively moved the phone away from his face, and put it back to his ear after a while.

I have already dialed the number, now let Kise hang up... No, absolutely not.

Because... he might not be able to work up the courage to press the call button again.

The rhythmic waiting sound in the handset reached Huang Lai's ears like the drumbeats before the war. The drumbeats were obviously not dense, but it made Huang Lai feel fear and tension, his palms were sweaty, and he couldn't even think clearly. A little confused.

About a century of waiting.

Just when Kise was about to give up, someone on the other end of the phone was finally connected. The rustling sound of the electronics made Kise lose his mind for a while, and finally, Kise heard a call he was all too familiar with.

"——Kose?"

Huang Lai listened in a daze, and wanted to open his mouth several times to say 'hmm', but he couldn't say anything.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhhhh.

"Is that you?" The other end of the phone confirmed.

Well, it's me.

Wanting to say these words, Huang Lai found that his throat was tight and his eyes were sore, he could only listen blankly, unable to say a word at all.

"...I'm not crying again."

Did not cry.

Thinking about it, Kise subconsciously touched his cheek with his free hand.

It was indeed wet.

As if the tension had been washed away by tears, Kise cried: "Yuiya..."

"……Um?"

Hearing the other party's answer, Huang Lai felt a sore nose, all the months of longing came out at this moment, he could only cry, and could not say anything else.

What a shame.Kise thought.Obviously I have a lot to say, but now I can't do anything except cry and call the other person's name.

"Wei Ye..."

"Yes."

"Wei Ye!"

"Yes."

The other end of the phone wasn't impatient, and listened quietly, answered, and finally when Huang Lai finally stopped sobbing, he said softly, "Calm down?"

"……Um."

"Then? Why did you call me?"

Just want to hear your voice.

Huang Lai failed to muster up the courage to say this, and finally asked a question he had cared about for a long time in a dull mood: "...Why didn't you tell me when you left."

"...It will be troublesome to tell you."

"..." Kise was speechless.

As long as it is Yuiya's wish, he will try his best to fulfill it...only the separation...he can't accept it anyway.

Even now, he thinks that one day he will bring Yui back from Australia.

Never part for a lifetime.

After a while, Huang Lai said dejectedly: "...Don't tell me, are you afraid that I will stop you?"

"...No," Wei Ye on the other side paused, and repeated, "No."

Yui really didn't think about it that way.

The reason for not telling Kise that he was about to leave was also very simple.

It's nothing more than fear that I will regret it before the battle.

Probably seeing Huang Lai's crying face, he couldn't bring himself to leave.

It's like this every time... As long as he sees Kise crying, his heart will soften.

like now.

Hearing Kise's cry, he couldn't help but want to touch Kise's hair, comfort him, and tell him not to worry, he's here.

...It's just that I can't even touch it now.

Wei also took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and asked, "How are you doing?"

Kise hesitated and said, "...I write to Yuiya every day...didn't you read it?"

After asking this question, Kise flinched a little.

He was worried that what he heard from Yuiya would be a negative answer.

"...Look," Wei Ye said softly, "I'll feel more at ease just hearing it from you."

"...not good," Kise said with frustration in his voice: "I'm not good at all without Yui by my side! I think about Yui every day! But no matter how I think about it, I can't see him! Although I try my best to use basketball and work transfer Concentration, but once I rest, I think about Yuiya again! I want to call you, but I dare not, I am afraid that you don’t want to answer my call, or you will hang up when you hear my voice, I am so scared!” It's like this every time, as long as it's about Yuiya, I can't help being afraid.

"There are still letters! Every day I write to you, I am afraid that Yuiya has not opened it at all, knowing that you will not reply, but I still have to check the mailbox every day... And...Obviously, Yuiya and I are the closest , but Weiye didn't even tell me her mobile phone number... As a result... I heard it from Xiao Heizi!" Kise rubbed his hair irritably, and asked: "...Weiye...you...hate me ?”

Huang Lai waited for the other party's answer with bated breath, and it took a long time before he got the answer.

"……Fool."

Wei Ye's voice was very soft, but in Huang Lai's ears, it was like a thunderclap: "Aren't we friends?"

……Eh?

Huang Lai was stunned.

Weiye's words should obviously make him feel at ease... But why, it's even more...

Kise suddenly felt a little cold.

"I will answer whenever you call..." The voice on the other end of the phone is still the usual, calm voice: "Because we are best friends."

Huang Lai was at a loss, and responded in a low voice: "...um."

Yes, they are best friends.

……friend?

"But I've been busy recently, maybe I don't have much time to chat with you."

Kise heard the sound of turning the pages of the book from the opposite side, and guessed that the other party was probably reviewing the textbook.

"I probably won't be going back this summer... At the end of the year... I don't know if I have time, maybe not. There are a lot of activities like the New Year's dance at the school."

Kise felt his throat was itchy, and wanted to say something, for example: Please come back, or I want to see you.

But in the end nothing was said.

"Kise...Kise?"

"……Um."

"Anything else?"

"……Gone."

There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but for some reason, I forgot all of them at this moment.

"Then I have something else to do... hang up first."

"Weiye...bye."

"Again--"

Hearing the farewell that the other party was about to say, and without knowing what drove it, Kise interrupted the other party anxiously: "Yuiya!"

"……what?"

"sorry."

"……why apologize."

"...I don't know!" Kise said hoarsely, "I'm just... sorry."

Kise didn't understand why he said this, it was just...subconsciously.

Wei Ye was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Needless to say I'm sorry... we are friends."

Kise subconsciously squeezed the phone tightly, and didn't even realize when Wei Ye hung up the phone.

In the end, he sat in front of Yuiya's desk in a daze, and became dazed.
