[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

"An Yuan." Before boarding Wuye's car, the cat beckoned to her again.

Qiansui said to Wu Yang, "Sorry, please wait for me a moment", turned around and trotted to the old man.

"Coach Maoyou?" The seeing-off team had gradually dispersed, but he was the only one who stayed on purpose, which made Chiho a little strange, "Do you have anything to explain?"

The cat narrowed its eyes again, patted her on the shoulder with a smile, then approached her and whispered, "Although I don't know what you've been worrying about these two days..."

"No, no, no! It's really nothing~!" Chiho waved her hands in panic.

"Don't lie to me~ I heard what you said when we were eating barbecue just now, okay?" The poor disguise was instantly broken by him, and her expression froze for a moment, then became depressed.

The cat continued to say unhurriedly: "You Yasuhara~ sometimes you are too thoughtful, is this a common problem of chess players? Well, you were also last night... If you encounter any difficulties and unpleasant things, don't worry about it. It’s better to be honest with others if you keep it in your heart~”

"Yes..." a vain breath.

"As long as you do this, I think Ushido will understand~" the old man kindly comforted, "Okay, let's go, thank you for this time."

"Woo... Coach Maomata..." She was about to say goodbye to her senior who cared and taught her so much, and it was hard to say when she would see her next time, which made Chiho almost shed tears of reluctance.

But she took a deep breath and finally held back.

Standing still with a standard posture of standing at attention, I bowed respectfully: "Thank you very much for your care during this time, Coach Mao, I will take my leave."

"Hehehe~ Go!" The cat turned his back again and waved to her, "If you want to change your career, remember to come to me~"

"Not for the time being—!" Chiho flatly rejected his "digging the wall", his hunched back came into view, his eyes gleamed softly, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Turn around and say goodbye to this dreamlike journey in your heart.

Regaining her mood, now she is just that young professional chess player.

Then, set foot on Miyagi's homeland again, and meet him amidst the chirping of cicadas and the scorching heat of summer.

After a whole night of driving, the next morning, at the gate of Karasuno school.

Hinata was the last one to run up to her and say goodbye: "Miss Chiho! Please watch our match if you have time!"

"Okay~" Chiho pointed out a slender finger, and changed the topic, "But I won't watch the games before the semi-finals, because it will waste my time practicing chess~ Originally, it's very crowded to stay with you guys these days My energy is gone..."

——In fact, it was very difficult for her to win this ranking battle. There is no shortcut in shogi.

"Don't worry, we will definitely make it to the final." Kageyama walked up to her and made a firm oath.

"En!" Hinata reached an agreement with Kageyama on this point, and kept nodding sharply at her.

"Okay, then I'll wait." She looked around at the two people, convinced of their words, "Then I'll go~ goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Their voices sounded behind them, one was as energetic as the sun, and the other was as deep as a shadow.

"Really... How did those two little monsters do it... Ha~ Can they still be so lively after a night of driving?" She raised the makeup mirror in front of her, looked at her two big dark circles, and slapped yawn.

"Ruo Lijun `An Yuan Yuan seems to say that she will come today?"

In the Shiratorozawa Gymnasium, Tendo was throwing a volleyball in his hand, approached his captain and asked.

"Yes." A concise answer, without any fluctuations in expression, and without any sloppy warm-up movements, this is the usual style of the ace of Shiratorizawa High School's volleyball club.

"Did you quarrel?" The soaring red-haired boy continued to gossip relentlessly, and he didn't know how he got this information.

"No, I just said a few words to her." In Niu Dao's perception, this was "educating" and "persuading" her.

"Hey, hey... I heard it all from outside the door~" Tiantong withdrew his rich face in a second, imitating the poker face of the other party, and said in a low and terrifying voice: "'Dare to go alone next time! , I’ll kill you.’ Sounds super scary, okay! It’s scarier than ghost screams in horror movies!”

"Is there?" Ushishima finished warming up and looked at Tendo with confusion.

"Ah... If that kind of words came from your mouth, it is really possible to scare her half to death?" Daping on the other side joined the discussion, "Ruoli, did you say too much?"

"Yes, yes~ I'll wait for her to come later, you'd better apologize to her?" Tiantong resumed his original strange voice, and echoed, "Emotional crisis is very difficult to deal with~ Maybe you will It's going to collapse, huh? Uh... what will we do, Mr. Ruoli, without An Yuanyuan..."

"Are you too pessimistic?!" Semi nervously glanced at Ushishima, whose expression became more and more unnatural when Tendo said, "Are you all right, Ruoli?! Don't listen to his nonsense..."

In Tiantong's broken thoughts, the gate of the gymnasium was opened with a "bang".

When he saw two figures standing against the background of the backlight, he stopped talking in an instant.

One is their devil coach, and the other is the heroine of the topic just now.

Niu Dao's standing body began to become stiff, and there seemed to be a heavy weight under his feet that made him unable to move.

——She looks so haggard, is it because she didn't sleep because of that incident?

"Have you finished warming up?" The demonic words indicated that the whole day of purgatory for these teenagers was about to begin.

"Assemble!" Pulling away from the increasingly chaotic state, the captain's instinctive reaction made him shout loudly.

silence.

A palpitating silence.

Whether it's during training, or during breaks and meals.

In the visible range of everyone, the two of them didn't say a word to each other from the morning to the end of the training today.

"Senior Chiho, what's the matter with you and Ushishima-kun?" In the cafeteria at noon, Ayane whispered to the listless girl sitting across from her, and turned her gaze to Ushishima, who was sitting on the table obliquely in front of her and eating silently with her teammates by the window, " I heard from Senior Tiantong that...you two had a fight?"

"No..." Chiho lowered her head, not daring to turn around to look at her boyfriend who was only a few feet away from her.

--what happened to him?What do you mean by deliberately avoiding me? !

"Then who are you?"

"It was me who made him angry and scolded for doing something wrong... I'm afraid that going to apologize to him now will affect your training, ha~" Chiho yawned again, "Besides, I didn't sleep well last night because I was on the road. Get a good night's sleep in the coach's office~ Let's talk to him about this matter at night when we find a chance."

"Uh..." Finding that things were not as she imagined, Ayane rested her forehead speechlessly, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have bothered about this "stupid couple", "Senior, you should take a good rest, and all the work in the afternoon will be handed over to you." It's okay for me."

"Thank you, Ayane." Chiho poked a small tomato in the salad with a spoon, with teary eyes, "But why did Ruoli avoid me? Is he really so angry with me..."

"No, I think he's just scared..." But before Ayane could finish speaking, Tendo approached her from behind, "Ayane-chan~"

"Senior Tiantong!" She screamed and stood up from her chair in fright.

Chiho held her cheek with one hand, scooped up the small tomato and put it into her mouth, with the background sound of the bickering couple in her ears.

"Are you afraid...? Ha~" the sour juice opened in her mouth, she muttered, "Would Ruoli feel scared too?"

"Yes, I'm afraid." After the training, Ushido wiped his sweat with a towel and said frankly to Tendo.

"Ah?!" Tiantong opened his mouth wide, and Ayane's statement turned out to be correct.

Daping and Sejian also looked at him in shock, thinking they had heard wrong.

——Their big ace who is always confident and indifferent, and the existence that makes other teams fear, actually has the emotion of "fear"? !

"Hey, isn't it... Ruoli, what are you afraid of?" Daping asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid she's really going to break up with me." Ujima calmly spit out scary words.

"It's all your fault!" Setian gave Tiantong a hard look.

"What's wrong with me!" Tiantong felt aggrieved, "Furthermore, Yasuhara did something wrong, right?"

However, Ushido had already packed his things during their argument and picked up his bag: "I'm going back, see you the day after tomorrow."

Tomorrow is a rest day, and Ushido thinks this is a good opportunity.

"Goodbye, Mr. Ruoli~Come on!" Tiantong shouted behind him, but he was worried in his heart.

"Is it really all right..." It was rare for Semi to agree with Tendo.

"I don't think anything will happen~" Daping said with a smile.

"Where did you go this afternoon?" He said the first sentence of the day to her in the parking lot in front of the gymnasium at sunset.

Chiho froze in place, looking at him in disbelief.

——Why did you suddenly consciously talk to me again?Is it because he is natural...

Seeing that she didn't answer, Ushido took another step forward, bringing the distance between them closer.

His gilt eyes and the corners of his mouth curved down made her flinch a little.

"I went to the coach's office to catch up on sleep." He replied tremblingly, turning his eyes away from him, "I sat on the bus all night last night, so I didn't sleep well."

"Oh." There was still no fluctuating voice, and Niu Dao responded lightly, "We have a rest tomorrow, shall we go back together?"

"Okay." Chiho turned around, without holding his hand, and walked straight to the direction of the school gate.

——What is he thinking? !You were so angry with me before...you don't really want to kill me, do you?

Seeing that she had already set off, he quickly followed her and walked beside her.

"I'm sorry." He apologized abruptly.

When she was about to leave the school gate, she heard him say.

"Ah?" Chiho stopped under the bronze sculpture of a white vulture at the door, looking at him in confusion.

"I'm sorry." Thinking she didn't hear clearly, Ushishima repeated it again, almost begging with sincerity.

"Why..." Just after waking up from the dispelled drowsiness, she fell into confusion again, "I should be the one to apologize, right?"

The golden light from the west casts a blinding brilliance on the tall bronze surfaces above the two men.

"Why did you get ahead of me..." Chiho felt her voice start to choke, she stretched out her hand to caress his chiseled face, and rested her head on his chest, "I'm sorry...it won't happen again next time...uh... ..."

In the next second, she felt his arms tightly encircling her, and she heard his heartbeat steady and powerful.

"Scared you?" His voice was so cautious that it was heartbreaking. "Sorry, I didn't mean to, and I would never really do that."

"I know! If you dare to say that again, I will..." There was inexplicable anger in the coquettish words.

"Don't leave me, okay?"

The pupils suddenly constricted, all emotions and senses became blurred, and she was limp in his arms.

"You fool...how could I propose breaking up?!" Chiho finally understood, and it turned out that what Ayane said by "fear" meant this. "Go home first, and I will explain it to you."

"Okay." He finally smiled, let go of his arms, and took her hand, "Let's go home."

And behind the two, in the middle of the road far away, Tendo stared at the sky with his hands in his pockets and smiled enigmatically, while Semi and Daping looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Isn't this too fast?!"

"Among the seniors who invited me to drink, they included the sponsors of the chess game."

That night, in Ushido's room, the two sat down in front of the tea table, Chiho took a sip of water and said, "You know, without sponsors, there will be no source of prize money for the competition, so it is very important to have a good relationship with them— —And I, like Xiao Ling, are highly valued by the seniors and can attract the attention of the outside world. If they call me by name, I can't refuse at all."

"I've wronged you, they didn't do anything to you except pouring alcohol?" He asked distressedly.

"No—this is the most troublesome part." Chiho's eyes became sharper, "Next time I will ask Master Shimada to go with me, although I'm sorry for his stomach...but it's better to have him around I'm fine by myself."

"Hmm." Ushishima took her hand on the table, stroked it slowly, and said firmly, "When I go to Tokyo after graduation, I will be able to protect you."

Chiho put her other hand on his, and said with a light smile, "You'll be training at the national youth team all day~ Do you have that time?"

"I..." He was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, "There will be."

"Hahaha~" Chiho got up and leaned forward, climbed over the coffee table and threw herself on Ushido, "Thank you~ But you don't have to force it, I said I'll get used to this amount of alcohol soon~"

"That doesn't work either." He lay back and caught her firmly, "I have to go with you."

"Athletes should not drink alcohol~" Qiansui leaned on him affectionately, admonishing like a little old man, "And it would be a disservice if you went~ They will definitely get you drunk, too?"

"Wait... I'm drunk Ruoli, do I still want to see it?" She slapped him with her hands and said to herself, "Then you will go with me? No, you can't poison our country." Future star..."

"..." He couldn't refute her babbled words with a strange circuit in his head, and Ushishima sat up with a frown, and directly covered her mouth with his own lips.

"Hmm!" Chiho closed her eyes, letting his tongue move in her mouth resignedly.

The kiss was so long that she almost suffocated.

"But, so happy..." Rolling from the table to the bed together, she lay beside him, hugging the body that made her feel at ease, "I like you the most."

"Yeah." He also hugged her back, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

"Bookstore? Then go to a movie?" She likes to spend an afternoon with him in a quiet bookstore, where there are rich chess records for her to learn, and Ujima also likes to read books very much.

"Okay." Satisfied and affirmative answer.

"Then ~ sleep? I'll turn off the lights."

"Not coming……"

"Do not."

"You are still mad at me..."

"Joli, you are too cunning!"
