The chance meeting outside the homestay only allowed the two to confirm each other's existence. After that, out of rational considerations, Chiho obediently went back to her room to pack her luggage, and Ushijima and Tendo continued to go shopping down the mountain.

However, just knowing that the other party is not far away from each other - this alone is enough to break the thin thread that maintains reason.

After a long separation, the moment when I actually felt the embrace of the other party had an unprecedented impact on my sober mind.

So at this moment, at nine o'clock in the evening???

Chiho wrapped herself in a towel and soaked in the hot spring for a while, but she was still staring blankly at the water surface in a daze. The high temperature of the spring water made her consciousness more and more blurred, and the hot air surrounded her body, feeling that her body temperature was rising. Ascending in a straight line, she slowly closed her eyes, trying to keep herself calm.

"Student?" At this moment, thinking that Chiho was about to faint, a girl beside her kindly reminded her, "Are you dizzy?"

"Uh...!" Chiho was shocked, and suddenly came back to her senses, and said apologetically, "I'm fine, thank you!"

It was only then that she realized that she had soaked in the hot spring for too long???afraid of falling into the dizzy state just now again, Chiho quickly stood up from the water and strode towards the shore.

After drying her slightly flushed body, and changing into the dark blue bathrobe, Chiho pulled out her cell phone from the bathtub, and was about to tell Ushijima that the two of them will see each other tomorrow???but found that he just sent her a message: "I'm back, do you want to walk around together?"

It was like a light feather brushing against the itching deep in my heart, the faint expectation to be answered, the thin thread that was already in danger was cut off mercilessly by this invitation.

Following his guidance and walking outside the hotel, she saw it.

The bright moon was hidden behind the clouds, and the lanterns hanging on the trees shone with a dim light.

In the spring season, the temperature is the most comfortable and the night is just right.

Wearing a dark gray bathrobe, Ushishima was quietly standing under the largest and oldest cherry blossom tree in front of the door, waiting for her with a serious face.

"Ruoli?" Chiho stepped down the steps and walked towards him, feeling that her body was still hot after soaking in the hot spring, and the temperature of the spring water here seems to be a bit too high???close to his motionless figure, she hugged him On his left arm, he smiled: "Ha...why is it like going to a game when you make an appointment?"

The warm touch could be clearly felt even through the single clothes. Ushido was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his performance had been ridiculed by her??????his brows frowned, as if sullen.

But this is just Ushido's habitual facial expression. He is not actually angry. Before IH this year, he was overjoyed to meet her in Kyoto.

Chiho naturally knew this too. Seeing that her boyfriend didn't refute, the little devil's tail in her heart cocked up, and her words and deeds began to intensify.

She hugged his firm arms even tighter, and almost pressed her whole body that was still hot, to his ear, and breathed out like blue: "Hey~Where does Ruoli want to take me? "

To her surprise, Ushijima was unmoved this time. He raised his right hand and pointed to the narrow path leading to the depths of the cherry blossom forest on the other side, and calmly replied, "Over there."

"... Oh." Not knowing why her attack was "blocked", Chiho narrowed her eyes and responded dully.

"Let's go, I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about." Ushishima dragged Chiho, who was still holding onto his left arm, to the path, and revealed the real purpose of this proactive date: "About the team... I want to ask you something."

"Eh?" Chiho was startled, her purple eyes flickered, "But I'm not in Shiratorizawa, how can I help you?"

"It's not a difficult thing, it doesn't matter if you're not in Shiratorizawa." Ushijima said very firmly.

"Okay." The overheated body temperature was already slowly cooling down, Chiho let go of Ushido, took his hand again, and responded decisively, feeling and admiring his strict personality, and no longer entangled in the question just now.

??????This is the Jolly I like.

Among the new first-year team members of Shiratorizawa High School this year, there are two juniors with the most outstanding strength and the most anticipated by Jiu Jiang.

One is the setter Shirabu Kenjiro. He is the only non-special recruit in the team, that is, he was admitted to Shiratorizawa with excellent grades and joined the volleyball club. Seeing the absolute power of Ushido in the middle of the game, he had a strong desire to "must join Shiratorizawa and throw the ball for such a main attacker".

The second is Taiichi Kawanishi, the deputy attacker. His height is more prominent, and his blocking awareness is also very accurate and fast. The key is to follow the instructions of Tendo, who has a good intuition. The two work together to exert stronger blocking pressure on the opponent. Now the main The problem is that physical exercise is somewhat insufficient.

"Sichuanxi's problem is easy to solve, but for Baibu..." Niu Dao stopped, looked up at the cherry blossoms above the morning glow, and said in a cold voice, "Although Coach Jiujiang thinks highly of him, he wants him as soon as possible. In Semi's place, but I don't think he's good enough."

"Compared with Semi's skills and brains, he is still too immature, his personality is not calm enough, and he is prone to make mistakes-but it is undeniable that Shirabu's style will be more suitable for us."

Hearing this, Chiho turned around, clasped fingers with Ushijima, quietly looked at him knowingly, and waited for his next request to her.

"So I would like to ask you to do me a favor," Ushishima turned his head and looked back at her, "teach him the mind and awareness he should have as the setter of Shiratorizawa."

"No...why don't you ask Coach Jiujiang for this kind of thing! And how can I teach him when I'm not in Miyagi!" Chiho staggered and almost fell backwards, not knowing where to complain about her boyfriend Fantastic brain circuits.

??????It's easy to say yes!It doesn't matter if I'm not in Shiratorizawa? !

"Because you told me before that you want to throw the ball to me again if you have a chance?" Niu Dao still clasped her hand tightly.

"I did say it, but please tell me, what is the connection between these two things...!"

"That means you remember all the details of throwing the ball to me?"

"Of course I remember... so?"

"So, you still know better than anyone else what kind of qualities a setter in Shiratorizawa should have when I'm here--I'm not wrong, am I?"

"...It's so reasonable that I can't refute it."

Chiho covered her face in despair, bowing down to Ushijima's "strict logic" argument.

"Chiho?"

"Actually, you don't need to explain so much to me..." Chiho's shoulders trembled slightly, and she returned him with a bright smile. She wrapped her arms around Ushido's neck, pressed against his face, and said, "Ruoli is still here!" Can you remember my only specialty in volleyball and make good use of it, how can I put it~ I feel like being needed again? Hmm... Also, you are too dedicated to being the captain~?"

??? thought he didn't need my toss anymore.

I am so silly.

"As you said, as the captain, you should pay more attention to the conditions of your team members." Ushishima caressed her cheek, and slowly moved his thumb slightly to caress the extremely elastic skin.

Dazed by his answer, Chiho blinked.

Cherry blossoms fall like snow.

"Then... I will leave the contact with Baibu to you, Ruoli, and I will also ask Ayane to watch for me." Wanqian's touch and sweetness were all reduced to this sentence, she said lightly.

"Okay." Touched by her gentle and watery face, Ushido kissed her lips.

"Is this...the so-called 'tryst'?" Chiho recalled the words she had learned in Chinese class, holding Ushijima's left arm, both of them were wearing bathrobes, walking side by side on the stone path under the blooming cherry blossoms at night .

"Hmm...'refers to a private meeting between a man and a woman who loves each other', indeed." Ushishima tightened her arm, lowered his head??????

Unprepared, Chiho felt that her right ear was close to a heat source, making the auricle crisp and numb.

"Ah!" She screamed in fright, and before she could resist, she was embraced by her boyfriend into his broad and strong arms.

"Ruoli!" Chiho put her hand on Ushido's back, and slapped his back muscles hard, "Don't be scary all of a sudden!"

"Chiho..." Ushishima just wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, whispering in her ear with a deep magnetic voice, "When you're not around, I always miss you..."

"Well, I miss you very much too." Chiho's slender and nimble fingers wandered inch by inch on his back, "But, not here."

The tone of his words just now sounded extremely critical to her - like the whisper of a devil, leading her step by step over the verge of losing control.

??? must be stopped at once!

"Ruoli, we have to go back before ten o'clock, the lights outside will be turned off, and the teacher will come to roll call."

These words were like pouring a basin of cold water on Niu Dao, making him let go of Chiho quickly, and looked at his watch: "Then let's go back, the time is almost up."

"..." Chiho stared at the dead fish eyes.

??????This is too easy to pass!

But disappointment is disappointment, she also knows that the school's regulations cannot be broken, it would be too embarrassing to cause trouble for everyone.

"Let's go." Not intending to care about the actions of both parties to ruin the atmosphere, Chiho took his hand, "We're going back the way we came, and we can't get around it."

As a result, the two were still trapped in the dark forest by the extinguished lights on the way back.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

There is only silence like still water all around.

She hugged the only backer beside her tightly.

Chiho has been afraid of the dark since she was a child.

very scared.

??????I don???t remember when she had this fear, she just remembered that in the darkness where she could not see her fingers, all the senses of her body would become as if they did not belong to her, and even her consciousness seemed to be invaded by such darkness .

Now even though Niu Dao was with her, the fear in her body was still fermenting exponentially.

Suddenly, the dizziness from soaking in the hot spring hit again, making her feet go soft.

"Don't we still have our mobile phones?" Ushijima hurriedly supported her, waking up Chiho who was falling into the abyss of fear with a single word.

"Yes..."

Then, both of them took out their mobile phones and turned on the lights.

Chiho breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was still the last battery in the phone.

"Strange, it's clearly not ten o'clock???" Ushishima turned his head, but his usual words suddenly stopped.

"Probably the hotel was turned off in advance to save electricity~ After all, there is no one here except us..." Chiho continued, not aware of Ushido's abnormality.

"Chiho, you just...?" Ushishima was shocked, and his brown eyes carefully observed Chiho's face again.

Still the exact same purple.

??????Although it was only for a moment, could it be an illusion?her eyes...

"Ah?" Chiho also looked at him, "What happened to me just now?"

??????No, it???s probably my illusion.

"It's okay, I may have misread it." Udo said, "Just now I always felt that your right eye seemed to have changed color."

"Pfft... how is that possible, you must have read it wrong~ I'm not Akashi-kun!"

Having said that, the two of them had walked out of the path and arrived at the gate of the hotel.

"Then, see you tomorrow?" Chiho hugged Ushishima, tilted her head, and then laughed at herself: "Actually, we might not see each other...if the route is different."

Niu Dao lightly pecked her lips, and replied, "I hope to see you again."

"Cough... Yasuhara." At this moment, Midorima's awkward voice came from the door, still holding his little lantern, "I didn't see you when the teacher called, so let me come to you."

Being seen making out with her boyfriend, Chiho felt that her body temperature was rising unconsciously again, she was so frightened that she quickly let go of Ushijima and ran towards Midorima: "Na Ruoli~ Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Chiho." Ushijima waved his hand, but stared at Midorima with his signature terrifying eyes.

Midorima looked back at him calmly.

Relatively silent.

But at the moment Ushijima turned to leave, he didn't realize that there was another layer of calm sadness in Midorima's eyes.

On the next day's trip to Arashiyama, the two regretted not seeing each other again.

However, the scene of the next meeting was something no one expected??????.

The author has something to say:

I was dragged out by my friends, so I wrote this point~

The hints in this chapter are obvious, and more secrets about the heroine before meeting Niu Dao will be revealed gradually~

But it's not a god unfolding!Don't expect too much...
