[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

"Fujii-kun?!" Chiho screamed, but was pulled by the boy's strong and powerful arm, making it impossible for her to break free.

"Senior Yasuhara, I have something very important to say to you alone." Fujii's tone was very serious.

She could only stare blankly at the back of Fujii's head, letting him lead her away from the noisy crowd.

Without the illumination of the lights beside the mountain road, the depths of the woods were dark and silent.

When Chiho could barely hear the sound from the other side of the mountain path, Fujii finally stopped and let go of her hand.

He turned around, and the two stood facing each other. Chiho saw the other person's eyes clearly through the moonlight——

It is firm, gentle, and affectionate, as if there are thousands of words in it to tell her.

Her sixth sense told her that something was about to happen.

Chiho lowered her eyes subconsciously, not daring to look directly at him.

There is still a secret hidden in her heart, and she will accidentally show her feet if she is stared at by such eyes.

"Senior Yasuhara, what I want to tell you is—" Fujii took a deep breath and said.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and it was close to zero at this time, and the noise on the mountain road began to quiet down.

Chiho tightened her scarf, and took a step back slightly, the fallen leaves on the ground made a soft sound.

She was ready to hear the expected words.

"I've liked you since I met you, so—please date me!"

Fujii said loudly, it seemed as if he had exhausted all his courage by trying desperately to confess.

——Ah, he is no longer the timid first-year setter he was back then.

The first thing Chiho thought of was this sentence, and she already had the answer to his confession.

She was about to speak, but she heard a shout from the mountain far away.

"Chiho—! Where are you?"

It's Ushido Jori.

That voice was mixed with anxiety and panic, she had never heard Udo call her name in such a tone.

Fujii also recognized that voice, he stared directly at Chiho's eyes eagerly waiting for a response and became a little dazed, and then cast a shadow.

Ushijima's call suddenly fell silent, Chiho didn't know if he was still around.

Her body and mind were trapped in a huge quagmire, she wanted to escape but could not escape, the more she wanted to do something, the deeper she sank.

Wanting to respond to him "I'm here", wanting to confide all my love affairs to him right now, wanting to rush over to hug his warm body tightly, wanting to kiss him with my frozen lips - but I can only remain silent.

When the New Year's bell rang, Chiho was still standing where she was, the solemn sound made her calm down.

Looking at Fujii, Chiho felt that she had grown a lot in an instant, not because she had just turned 16 or entered a new year, but because her childlike innocence began to disappear, and the mature factor sleeping in her body began to awaken.

Being confessed so seriously by the other party, I must also respond seriously as the object of admiration——

"I'm sorry... I can't accept your confession."

"Really... Sure enough, I should have known it would be like this..." Fujii lowered his head, quite shocked. Although he had expected this answer a long time ago, he still felt disappointed when he actually heard it.

Chiho frowned and explained: "I'm sorry, Fujii-kun, and I just want to concentrate on preparing for the exam now. I have no other feelings for you..."

"Is it because of Senior Ushido?" He raised his head suddenly and asked in frustration.

It was undoubtedly Senior Ushido just now, did he come to look for her because he found out that Senior Yasuhara had been missing for so long?

Chiho's reaction after hearing Ushijima's voice did not escape Fujii's eyes, he knew she was struggling, because her eyes were full of longing and pain.

He also knew that when Ushido-senpai found himself peeking at Yasuhara-senpai, he would stare at him hard.

Possessiveness—?

Fujii felt that he had done a stupid thing just now, even though the truth was already in front of his eyes, he still wanted to fight for other people's territory regardless of the consequences.

"No, I didn't reject you because of him." Chiho shook her head lightly, firmly denying it.

Just because of myself, I need more time to get rid of the invisible nostalgia, useless sadness and old cowardice, float up from the bottom of the water, walk ashore, and start again.

"But thank you, Fujii-kun." She bent her eyes and said with a smile.

After that, there was a long silence between the two, and the moonlight shone on the ground, flickering with the rolling spots of fallen leaves.

"I'm going to find them, Fujii-kun, do you want to come together?" When the two returned to the mountain road, people had already come down from the shrine one after another.

"No... Thank you today, goodbye, Yasuhara-senpai." After Fujii finished speaking, he walked down the mountain alone.

"Goodbye, Fujii-kun." Chiho watched his figure go further and further away, and continued to climb up.

When Chiho came to the shrine, she found Ushijima waiting for her under the tree.

The boy stood there quietly, his eyes looking in the direction of the main hall of the shrine.

She strolled towards him as if nothing had happened.

"Where did you go just now?" Standing still in front of him, Ushishima turned his eyes back, and his tone was as cold as usual.

Chiho just smiled and said, "There were too many people and I accidentally got separated from everyone~ I couldn't get through the phone, so I just finished shopping alone."

She turned her eyes elsewhere, and saw the volleyball club rushing over.

"Senior Yasuhara!" Misaki shouted out of breath, "It's great that you're fine!"

Just after hearing the news of the failed confession from his friend, Misaki still pretended nothing happened, he kept bowing and apologizing to Chiho: "I'm sorry, it's all because we didn't pay attention! Hey, you guys come here and apologize—! ’ he shouted to the other members of the Ministry.

"It's okay, Misaki-kun." Chiho narrowed her eyes, "It's better to say that I had a good time alone~"

"Huh?" Misaki was stunned, he didn't expect Chiho to say that.

"Haha~ I'm joking! You can't do this when you go out with your girlfriend in the future! What if you lose each other~" Chiho smiled happily with a tricky face.

"Really! I'm still single~ Yasuhara-senpai is too much!" Misaki, who was poked at the sore spot, rubbed his head in embarrassment, blushing.

"Me too—! But if I have a girlfriend in the future, I will definitely not lose her!" Goshiki replied loudly, putting another arrow in Misaki's back.

"Five colors..." Misaki gritted his teeth, and was so angry with this single-cell junior that he vomited blood.

"Okay, we're going back, Misaki." Ushishima interrupted the farce, "Thank you very much today, and I wish you a happy new year."

"Well, happy new year everyone~" Chiho blinked.

"Yes! Happy New Year, I wish you all success in your exams! Ushido-senpai, Yasuhara-senpai!" Everyone replied in unison, and the loud voice echoed in the forest.

The confession incident that night came to an end under the disguise of both parties. After that, Ushijima never asked Chiho again, and Chiho never mentioned it to him.

They all think that the changes they have experienced are all, but that is only part of the truth under silence and avoidance.

His feelings for her, and her transformation - but they don't know each other.

Chiho just felt that Ushijima's attitude towards her was becoming more and more clinging, as if she had infinite dependence and desire to control herself - almost all her spare time was looking for her, and she ordered herself to throw the ball to him over and over again during practice.

What is he afraid of?she asked in her heart.

Ushijima also noticed that a slight change had taken place in Chiho—she would begin to refuse his orders, and would try to escape from his control. Even if she forcibly followed her, Chiho's expression of helplessness before now seemed to be separated from her. There was a layer of veil, which made him unable to understand.

It created a deep unease in him, until it culminated in an altercation at a volleyball practice.

"Ruoli~ It's time for me to go back." Chiho looked at her watch, and was ready to go home when the time came.

"Let's play a few more balls." Not for any other purpose, Ushido just wanted to stay with her for a while.

"No, okay!" Chiho refused, "Ruoli, you've been too much lately~ The exam is coming up soon, so I don't have so much time to play with you."

"But, it doesn't matter if you go back later, right? You have been reading at school, relax more..."

Chiho seemed irritated by his words, she slammed the volleyball at him, and Ushijima easily caught it.

"Joli!" she shouted, "If you are so self-willed, I will never throw the ball for you again!"

This is the most unacceptable thing for Niu Dao.

After retiring and before entering high school, the only thing that could make him regain his feeling on the court was Chiho's toss.

"Chiho, don't be like this." He frowned tightly and spoke harshly.

"I refuse, why do you ask me like this—" Chiho picked up her schoolbag and walked out the door, "Goodbye."

Chiho's words ignited all the lingering uneasiness in Ushijima's heart. Looking at her leaving back, he had the feeling that he would never see her again.

No, I have something to tell her after the exam—

However, I want to say it now.

The previous plan was overturned in an instant, and I wanted to do it immediately.

Ushido rushed forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Let go of me." Chiho didn't look back, her tone was unusually cold.

"Chiho," Ushijima forcefully pulled her into his arms, and no matter how much the other party beat his chest, he finally said what he couldn't convey that day——

"I like you."

Chiho fell silent the moment she heard these words.

"Really... This kind of joke is not funny at all." She lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Jumping rapidly.

"I'm serious, I like you." Niu Dao repeated her arms tightly around her.

"If you're confessing," Chiho faintly felt herself crying, "Forgive me for not being able to accept it, Ruoli."

Ushido's pupils tightened, and the arms holding her began to loosen.

"After the exam, I will tell you an important thing." She continued, pushing away Udo who was stunned, and ran out the door quickly.

"Joly, I'm going to Tokyo."

——So, the important thing you said at that time was referring to this?

Why?Why are you still smiling at me?

Are you really going to reject me?

The falling cherry blossoms and the girl's smile made Ujima confused. He felt that the time with her was like the fleeting cherry blossoms, so beautiful and so short.

He couldn't help but started to use clumsy reasons to keep her, but was brought back to reality by the touch of her palm——

She looked like she was about to cry.

In those gentle purple pupils, the faint tears stung Ushijima's nerves.

I want to hold her in my arms again and say "I love you" to her over and over again until she agrees.

But he couldn't do that in the end.

It’s just going to Tokyo——

This distance is nothing at all.

Just wait, Chiho, I will go find you with Shiratorizawa.

I will be stronger.

I'm going to rip your pretense apart.

monopolize you.

At that time, you will no longer be able to refuse me.

The author has something to say:

There is an interview to prepare, these days will be relatively busy, please forgive me for the uncertain update.

Ushishima-san, don't give up!Go boldly!You are almost there! !
