[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

On December 12, at seven o'clock in the morning.At this time of winter in the northern hemisphere, the sun has not yet risen, and the sky outside the window is still dark blue.Today is Sunday, and the streets in the residential area are deserted and empty, only the cold wind is raging.

In the room, Yasuhara Chiho was fast asleep.The heating system filled this small space. The girl was wrapped in a quilt and lay on her side, her messy orange hair was smoothly spread out along the folds of the sheet, her body trembled slightly with her light breathing.

"Dingling, ringing, ringing—!!"

The alarm clock on the bedside table rang on time, Chiho instinctively stretched out her hand from under the quilt, and pressed the alarm clock with her slender white fingers to end the annoying sound.

The following actions were all done instinctively and repeated countless times by her, sitting up, getting out of bed, changing pajamas, and then——

The text message notification sound from the mobile phone came from the desk, making her hand stop when she was unbuttoning it.

Swiping open the screen and taking a look, Chiho instantly became fully awake.

From Niu Dao Ruoli:

I'll pick you up at eight o'clock sharp.

A warm current poured into her heart, and Chiho quickly moved her fingers and said "Okay" to him, and then began to rummage through the box to find the clothes to wear today, making preparations before going out.

—Yes, today is my birthday.Before that, I made an appointment with Ruoli to go to Sendai City.

Putting aside school uniforms, sportswear and casual styles, today I am going to be a lady, and of course I have to dress differently on my birthday.

Chiho changed her clothes and rushed from the bedroom to the bathroom, Mamiko was awakened by the sound of footsteps.

Yasuhara Asama touched the lighted bathroom door, and warmly hugged Chiho who was wiping her face with a towel.

"Happy birthday, my little baby! You look so good today~ Have fun with Maverick Island~ It doesn't matter if you don't go home at night, just remember to call me!"

Being tightly bound in Mama's arms, Chiho couldn't move, and even her voice was blurred as if separated by a wall: "Thank you~ But can you let me go? I have to leave at eight o'clock, I'm in a hurry. "

"Ah... Chiho is really cruel to abandon me after having a boyfriend." Mamiko complained, but Mamiko still let go of her arms, with a bright smile on her face, "Then I'll go prepare breakfast first!" After humming a ditty, he walked to the kitchen.

"How many times have I told you that I don't have that kind of relationship with him... and I'll be back on time at night, and I have to go to school tomorrow!" Chiho explained again helplessly, she let out a long breath, and tidied herself in the mirror hairstyle.

Chiho did dress up seriously today: her princess-style braided hair was fixed behind her head with a butterfly-patterned hairpin, and a dark purple long skirt was inside her white coat, revealing two slender and well-proportioned long legs wrapped in black velvet socks. Wearing a pair of white short boots is completely different from her usual simple and casual dress, and looks more mature.

"Well, it should be fine." After confirming her final image today, she walked slowly into the living room.

Kneeling in front of her father's coffin in a standard posture, Chiho folded her hands on the ground, bent down, rested her forehead on her hands, and her hair slipped from her ears.

"Dad, I'm 14 today." It was a slightly crying tone.

——Please don’t worry over there, I am doing well here.

The doorbell rang exactly at eight o'clock.

Before opening the door, Chiho double-checked—the clothing is ok, the hairstyle is ok, and the belongings are ok.

Strange, why am I so nervous?

It's not dating a boyfriend, just a normal heart——

With this in mind, she walked out of the house, the sun had already risen, and the golden morning glow in the sky made her almost unable to open her eyes.

Chiho couldn't help raising her hand, trying to block the dazzling light.

A broad and strong hand grabbed her wrist and moved aside.

The upper body was shrouded in a shadow.

She opened her eyes, and Ujima's tall body stood in front of her eyes.

The wrist grasped by him did not let go, but was forced forward suddenly, causing Chiho's body to fall forward——

His head rested on his chest, his back was gently encircled by his other hand, and the whole body fell into his warm embrace.

"Happy birthday, Chiho." It was a familiar, gentle and deep voice, which rang close to his ears.

It felt itchy, and what spread from it was a supreme sticky feeling, like biting a big apple candy.

Chiho didn't expect that Ushijima would be so active today, completely different from his usual self.

This feeling only lasted for a moment, and Chiho tried to push his chest hard, trying to put a distance between the two of them that was too ambiguous: "Thank you~ Ruoli, but can you let me go first? This feels so strange. "

She felt that her body was heating up, and her blood was about to boil,

——If this continues, I will suffocate.

But he didn't move.

"Ruoli?" Chiho called out in doubt.

Niu Dao's body trembled, and then he let go of her hand, allowing her to escape from his embrace.

Chiho clutched her chest and breathed heavily, the cold air of the winter morning made her calm down quickly.

Re-examining the person in front of him, he is wearing a black woolen coat today, with a gray plaid scarf around his neck, which is a common winter outfit, but his tall and strong figure gives this outfit a sense of fashion.

Chiho straightened the straps of her backpack and said to Ushijima, "Let's go."

"Ah."

The two walked side by side towards the tram stop, the only sound of their staggered footsteps on the cold street.

Udo got up earlier than usual today.

After finishing his daily morning jog, he went home, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to Chiho's house after eating the breakfast he bought from a convenience store.

It was not yet eight o'clock.

He stood outside the house and looked at the window of Chiho's room, the curtains were drawn tightly, and there was no light in it.

At this time, he was very nervous, a kind of nervousness that had never appeared in the game.

Although Ushido was emotionally slow, he knew that this should be counted as the first date since the two met.The young man had a hazy longing for her in his heart. Even if the two of them were already familiar with each other, on some special days, they always seemed to be driven by some invisible force, and they would burst out with stronger emotions. .

Today, he is not just quietly waiting for her to appear like before, but is desperately looking forward to her arrival.

This expectation grew stronger as time passed.

Until her slender figure came into sight, he finally let him hug her uncontrollably.

He lowered his head and said blessing words to her in the most gentle voice, letting his whole body feel the temperature of her body.

The warmth that the severe cold couldn't dispel made him almost crazy about it.

Can't even hear her words.

Until a dull pain in his chest brought him back to reality.

Ushido, who is usually able to speak out his inner thoughts directly, has lost his words at this moment. He felt that it was difficult for him to describe this feeling, so he kept silent after letting her go.

It was Chiho who spoke first, bringing the atmosphere between the two back to normal.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. Did it hurt you?" On the way to the station, Ushido felt that he should apologize.

"No, I'm just a little scared, but I'm very happy~" Chiho turned her head and smiled at him.

"Well, that's good. Hurry up, or you won't be able to catch the next bus." Ushijima took Chiho's hand and started running.

He ignored her torrent of complaints behind him, let him be willful once today, and give her an unforgettable birthday.

In the tram, the two sat side by side.

At first there were only a few scattered people in the carriage, but as the urban area approached, more and more people got on the train.

Chiho leaned her head on Ushishima's shoulder and dozed off, and was forced to run for a while before entering the station. Even though she caught up with the bus, she almost vomited out the breakfast she had just eaten.After the strenuous exercise just now, she sat in the shaking car, feeling dizzy, her eyelids began to droop, she tilted her head and leaned against the heat source next to her, closed her eyes and began to breathe steadily.

The temperature from his shoulders made Ushido's body stiff, and he just sat stiffly all the way to the stop.

"Chiho, we're here." Ushijima gently pushed her, waking her up from her deep sleep.

"Huh...? Arrived?" Opening her eyes in a daze, Chiho felt her hand being pulled out of the carriage by him.

The two walked onto the platform, the carriage doors closed behind them, and the tram started slowly, heading to the next stop.The noisy environment around brought Chiho from the hazy drowsiness to reality. The voices of the crowd, the radio at the station, and the roar of the tram all entered his ears very clearly. The cold air was filled with the busy atmosphere of the city.

Chiho didn't come to the downtown area many times. The last time she came was when she came to work with her mother when she was in elementary school. Ushido seemed to be familiar with her. She was surrounded by the bustling crowd, and she followed him to the outside of the station.

Only then did he realize that his hand was still tightly held by him.

Slightly raised the corner of her mouth, Chiho asked: "Ruoli seems to be very familiar with this place, do you come here often?"

Ushido didn't look back: "Well, I used to join the volleyball club here, so I come here often."

"Oh~ Speaking of which, I only found out about this not long ago. The time you went to Beichuan No. [-] Middle School to find Oikawa really scared me to death."

"Sorry, I won't hide anything from you in the future."

"That's not what I meant! If you really want to apologize, make it up to me today~ You will lead the way where to eat and play, I don't care." Chiho smirked, and gave him a firm shake with the hand being held.

"Okay." Facing Xiao Qingmei's request to make more progress, Ushido readily agreed.

—Joly is really an idiot.Even though she thought so in her heart, unlike before, Chiho couldn't get angry this time.

Because Christmas is coming, the business district is full of Christmas decorations.The huge Christmas tree on the square, the gift boxes placed in the window, the red and green theme spray paint on the glass... and the big sale posters posted by various merchants.

Chiho liked this kind of atmosphere very much, and the two walked around from house to house.

"Why don't you give me some advice? You decide the style after the agreement?" Chiho's eyes wandered over the various shelves, "Come and pick one."

Ushijima glanced back and forth a few times, and picked out an orange plaid scarf, but this color was a little darker than Chiho's hair color, as soon as he saw it, the image of her wearing it appeared in his mind.

Facts have proved that Ushido's aesthetics are very good. Chiho looked at it in front of the mirror for a long time, and was much more satisfied than she imagined.

When Niu Dao was paying, it was no surprise that the two of them were recognized as a couple by the clerk.

Chiho was still adjusting the scarf around her neck in front of the mirror on the other side.

But Ushido explained solemnly, "No".

Under the ambiguous eyes of the clerk, the two left the mall.

"Thank you, Ruoli, I like this gift very much!" Chiho turned her head to look at him, "I will return one to you next year~"

"Well, you don't have to pay it back, as long as you like it." Niu Dao raised his hand and rubbed her head, his brows and eyes were full of tender affection.

"That's not okay, you just wait—by the way, where are we going next?" Chiho asked, patting his messy hair.

"Just follow me." Unexpectedly, Niu Dao let it go.

"Okay, okay, Boss Niu, as long as you are happy~"

Chiho couldn't remember exactly where she went that day.I just remember Wagyu Island shuttling through the city full of Christmas atmosphere and not returning home until night.

Saying goodbye to Ushijima at the door, Chiho took the initiative to wrap her arms around his back, but the movement was very light, and the whole process lasted less than three seconds.Chiho let go of him, raised her head and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Ruoli, this is the happiest birthday I've ever had."

Although it made her tired enough.

"...you rest early, see you tomorrow." Ushi Dao recovered from her sudden movement, and said after a moment of stupefaction.

"You too~ See you tomorrow!" Chiho stood at the door and waved to him.

Ushijima watched Chiho enter the house before turning and leaving.

At first, he slowed down his steps, exhaling a cloud of white hot air from his mouth, Ushishima tightened his scarf, feeling his heartbeat getting faster and faster - faster and faster, and finally he couldn't help running.

Only running can calm him down at this time.

The first date between the two ended quietly in a soft hug.
