The winter vacation passed unhurriedly, and Juli was promoted to the second year of junior high together with the first-year basketball team candidates, and Heizi officially became one of the basketball team's first team candidates.

The starting team is composed of Akashi, Midorima, Murasakihara, Aomine, Haizaki, and Kuroko, which are basically determined.

And there is another thing that is of concern is that Hongcun's father seems to be getting worse.

Juli knew that Hongcun's father had been hospitalized, but it seemed to be getting worse recently.He always left in a hurry after finishing his work to visit his father in the hospital.

He seldom smiles now, and he is still serious and serious when he is working, but when he is resting, he is more staring at something, not knowing what he is thinking.

Juli was a little worried about him, but didn't know what to do.

Until one day, Hongcun said to her in private: "Jiuri, go back with Akashi today. I will be staying in the hospital from now on."

Ju Li frowned: "... Uncle, is it already this serious?"

"It's okay, just spend more time with him." Hongcun stroked the back of his head, "Besides, I'm too tired from running around, so I might as well just accompany him in the hospital."

"Then I'll go to the hospital with you after school." Juli looked at Hongcun, "I can also talk to my uncle and aunt, and you have a companion on the way."

"...No need." Hongcun waved his hand and refused, "Why do you bother, it's okay, I don't know what to do if you are so caring."

"What's the matter?" Juli breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle and aunt have taken care of me and Gongmi since we were young, so naturally we should visit them more often."

Finally, Hongcun couldn't hold back Juli, and reluctantly agreed.

He muttered: "I did it for your own good, and created a great opportunity for you. You like Akashi, don't you? I just don't want to be a light bulb for you, so you can do whatever you want..."

Ju Li almost jumped up to slap him: "Who do you think I am?! Compared with my childhood sweetheart, my brother next door, my crush is nothing, okay?"

"Akashi-kun, I don't know how you feel when you hear this?"

Juli froze, looked back furtively, and patted Hongcun: "It's not a big deal, Akashi-kun won't mind."

"Then you have to tell him about releasing his pigeons today." After a pause, Hongcun looked away uncomfortably, "By the way, please keep my family affairs a secret, Juli."

"I see, don't worry." Ju Li nodded and agreed.

"Um--?"

Skylark approached Kikuri, who was lying on the counter, concentrating on playing with the lunch box.

Cao Bi was standing in Juli, holding a spatula, diligently frying vegetables.

"What are you doing?" Hibari squinted at Kikuri, "If you want to make lunch, Kusakabe can do it too."

Cao Bi took over the conversation: "That's right, Miss Skylark, I'm also very good at making bento."

Ju Li waved his hands to shut them both up, and tilted his head to squeeze out the words "Come on" with ketchup on the omurice.

"Why do you want to write on it?" Skylark frowned.

"Ah, could it be..." Cao Bi suddenly realized, with a look of hesitation, "Should it be an important intention?"

"Yes." Juli admitted without hesitation, "The reason why I wrote on it is to cheer up the recipient."

"Who is it for?" Skylark raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Xiu Zhuo next door."

"Oh." Yunque's expression calmed down, "I heard that Mr. Hongcun is hospitalized."

Juli nodded, and muttered: "Kyomi will go to see Uncle sometime."

"Understood." Skylark agreed meekly unexpectedly.

Ju Li covered the bento box and put it away: "From now on, I will make Brother Xiu's bento."

Skylark curled his lips, seemingly dissatisfied: "Why?"

Juli explained to his younger brother in a good-tempered manner: "Brother Xiuzao has been staying in the hospital recently, and my aunt is too busy to make lunch for Brother Xiuzao. It's okay to eat occasionally in the school cafeteria. Don't you want to die if you eat often?"

"...Oh." Yunque nodded, "Then you have to do it for me too."

Ju Li rolled his eyes at him: "Let Mr. Cao Bi do it for you!"

Seeing the two bickering with you and me, Cao Bi couldn't help putting a question mark on his forehead.

[I thought Miss Hibari made a bento for someone she likes? 】

【...But the performance of the chairman is too dull. 】

[Sure enough, they are the mysterious siblings who cannot be seen through...]

Although Juli and Hongcun didn't have any ideas, rumors about them still spread from the basketball club.

Momoi quietly moved to sit next to Juli, and asked her softly if she was dating Hongcun, Juli's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Who made the rumor?" Ju Li's mouth twitched.

Momoi looked at Kikuri's face, and said softly, "Everyone in the basketball team said so."

"They are probably blind." Juli turned out the training record book, "It seems that the amount of training needs to be increased."

"..." Momoi asked softly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Juli said with a blank expression, "I'm in the same mood as someone asking Momoi if you're dating Aomine-kun."

Momoi immediately understood Kikuri, and patted her on the shoulder, "I believe in you."

Now that Momoi knew about it, it proved that the rest of the basketball club knew about it too.

The candidates are not gossips, so they may just listen to this out-of-the-box news, but Juli is still a little melancholy.

I don't know what Akashi is thinking.

She recalled the day when she told Akashi that she and Hongcun would go in another direction and would no longer be with him, the surprise that flashed across Akashi's face and the frown that quickly frowned and calmed down quickly.

【Although he probably wouldn't mind this kind of thing, I still don't want him to misunderstand...】

Kikuri pouted her chin, looked at Akashi's side face, and sighed mournfully.

"What's wrong?" Akashi, who was sitting at the desk of the student union sorting out the materials, raised his eyelids and glanced at Kikuri, "You go first."

"...Let me help you." Ju Li stretched out his hand to him.

"No need, my side will be fine soon." Akashi's eyelashes drooped to cover his eyes, "You take a step first, I'll come later, see you in the club."

"..." Juli stood at the door with her schoolbag on her back, "Then I'm going first?"

"See you."

Until walking out of the student union classroom, Juli was still thinking.

[I feel a lot more awkward getting along with Akashi-kun, is it my illusion? 】

[But maybe it's because I have a good impression of him that I feel this way. 】

[It's really embarrassing to get along with someone you like if you don't pay attention. 】

Juli was distracted, and walked to the door of the basketball department without knowing it.

A tall yellow-haired man was looking outside the training ground of the First Army.

"Kase-kun?"

Kise turned his head following the voice, just in time to see Juli looking at him with his hips akimbo.

"Wow, Skylark! Why are you here?"

"I still want to ask why you are here." Ju Li approached him, "Come to visit the basketball club?"

Kise shook his head, his eyes sparkled: "Basketball, it seems very interesting."

"I, want to join the basketball club."

"...How do I feel that you plagiarized the lines that I joined the student union."

Juli pouted.

A member of an army passed by the door and waved to her.

"...Eh? Are you from the basketball club?" Kise looked at Juli expectantly with a bloody look.

Juli nodded: "The basketball club is like a fake team manager... If you intend to join the basketball club, I can give you an application form for membership."

"Wow, that's great! Thank you, Skylark!"

Kise just joined the basketball club.

And some people are really cheating players. They have never played basketball before, but they can quickly grow to the level of the first army in just a few weeks after joining the team.

When Kise officially joined the first army, Kuroko served as Kise's basketball instructor, although the latter had a lot of doubts and dissatisfaction about it.

Of course these are small things.

What Juli cares about is that since Kise joined the basketball club, I don't know if it's her illusion. She always feels that there are many girls who like to guard the basketball club's gate.

The basketball club was originally open to the students of the school, and everyone is welcome to visit.But if every entrance is always crowded with girls, it would be a bit irritating if the girls screamed after Kise's goal.

Juli got up and walked to the gate of the basketball team's gymnasium. At the moment, several girls were standing there, blocking the gate tightly.

Juli responded with a gentle smile to them: "Sorry, please be a little quieter, it will affect other members."

The girls looked at each other and lowered their heads a little embarrassedly.

Only the ponytail girl standing at the front glared at Juli aggressively: "We're only here for Kise-kun, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"But your actions have disturbed others." Ju Li said flatly, "Please don't cause trouble to others."

The girl's eyes widened, as if she wanted to argue with Ju Li, but the two girls next to her grabbed her arm one by one.

"Sorry, Skylark." The girl on the left said.

"We will stop making noise, please let us visit here, okay?" The girl on the right also smiled apologetically.

Juli took a deep breath: "If you are quiet, of course you are very welcome to visit."

"Thank you!"

Juli muttered and walked back to the bench next to the arena and sat down.

"do you know?"

A familiar voice came from behind, Kikuri turned his head and looked at Akashi who was leaning against the wall with a glass of water, expressionless.

Akashi continued slowly, "Kise seems to have a fan group."

Ju Li was startled: "Eh? Is there such a group?"

"I'm a model, and I'm very popular in school," Akashi said coldly, "It's not unusual to have such a group."

"Akashi-kun, what do you mean, those who guard the basketball club these days are...?" Kikuri frowned.

Akashi squinted at the girls crowded at the door, and then glanced at the basketball team members in the training hall whose eyes drifted towards the door unconsciously, and said flatly, "I mean, it's better for the basketball team to train in closed doors in the future."

"...Well, it's true that there are too many outsiders and it's very noisy." Juli curled her long hair, "Then I'll go talk to Captain Hongcun today!"

Akashi closed his eyes, "No need."

"...?"

"I'll talk to him myself."

Akashi put down his water glass, stepped forward and stood by the training ground, took the thrown basketball, and took the ball onto the court.

"..."

Juli looked at his back, her eyes widened inexplicably.

[Akashi-kun, what's wrong? 】
