[Kuroko's Basketball] Warm Red

And the people in the baseball department never expressed any kind of gratitude or guilt to the people in the playing department, as if their sacrifices were like stones thrown into the water. After the waves sank to the bottom of the lake.

They did have a great game, but why?

The person in front of him didn't seem to have any affection for the performance department, and their support seemed to be a natural accessory.

"Sakura."

Sakura glanced at his arm resting on her side. There was a wall behind her and she couldn't retreat. Ono's face in the baseball club had a healthy luster, and his brows and eyes were shining with sunshine.

She lowered her gaze, and there were too many people calling her Sakura, how could it become like this.

Listening to his somewhat shy confession, she didn't dislike the man in front of her.Sakura didn't know Ono very well, but when he was looking for Mingmei, he would meet people from the baseball club from time to time.She didn't know if such a wonderful feeling would happen just a few times, but at least for her, it was troublesome.

At least don't put her in a circle and make her feel pressured.

"that."

She frowned indistinctly, couldn't help the doubts in her heart, and opened her mouth after deliberation.

"I want to ask you guys..."

The shadows downstairs in the teaching building became private at this time, and this trend of being automatically divided into private spaces made Sakura very uncomfortable.

"Don't say anything, I hope you can listen to me."

Ono seemed to have expected it, and his comforting smile made Sakura look away. Ono's intentions were pure and unforced, and Sakura hesitated in his heart.

"I like you and I hope you can date me."

Sakura's palms were cold for a while, this kind of two-way choice that can only be given by people, good or bad, made it very difficult for her to do.

This can only lead to two extreme endings. Too straightforward, sexual and embarrassing, is there... is there a better choice.

"This…"

After a daze, he realized that Ono's straight eyes kept approaching him, seeking answers. Sakura stepped back, the heels of his shoes rubbed against the wall, and a subtle sound hit Sakura's heart.

"Little... Ono..."

Before Na Jun could say anything, a pair of warm hands held her arms and pulled her away from Ono's hoop. The strength was neither light nor heavy, but Sakura staggered a few steps and was brought behind him, feeling at ease for a moment. Come down and hope he never lets go.

"Her expression says it all."

Raising her head slightly, Sakura saw that the crimson hair on the back of his head was clean and smooth, and the collar under his neck was neat without any wrinkles. She looked at his back, and for the first time could not see his face.

"If you can't read it, I can reject you instead of Sakura."

Sakura lowered her eyes, and heard Akashi's unwavering but trembling tone exuding a sense of oppression that was even more ostentatious and cold, she thought his face must be the same at this time.

His eyes are still flat, but with a certain pressure that cannot be resisted, reminding her all the time that Akashi in front of him seems to have erased the softness in his heart.

"Sakura." There was anger in his voice, which was enough to scare people, but Sakura couldn't raise his eyes to look directly at him.

"If you just can't refuse and let others approach, you can only bear the consequences yourself, just like now."

He made the same move, locking her between the wall and his arms, but Sakura knew that if it was Akashi now, even if he did nothing, he would be able to force people to immobilize.

"Akashi." Sakura had to look up at such a close distance, her firm orange eyes reflected his appearance, "You are different from Ono-kun."

no the same?Akashi repeated this sentence in his heart, what is different, why is it different, where does the confidence come from.His serious eyebrows loosened slowly, and his meaningful eyes moved.

"You won't do that." Sakura said to him affirmatively. She held on with a stubborn expression, as if she insisted on the original Akashi in her heart. She would not give up and still believed in that gentle Akashi.

She thought of her on the other side, Sakura was like a friend who didn't want to see a change, avoiding a relationship that was no longer the same as before, she subconsciously avoided Akashi.

But she won't be like the heroine, chasing the truck after many years to reveal the light in her heart, she will just grab Akashi and tell him that she will always believe in him.

In Sakura's heart, Akashi will always be Akashi Seijuro with a gentle face and just the right smile under the sakura color, who occasionally makes jokes that are not funny at all, and occasionally loves to tease people, he is more careful than anyone else, more than anyone else Everyone can see everything around them.Even now he can only see what is in front of him, denying all the connections that he only holds in his hands.

Can he really abandon it?Sakura didn't believe it.

She firmly believes that Akashi is still the Akashi she knows after all. Although he is serious in the competition, as long as they are together, Akashi will always stand at the end of the team in the evening wind, and his eyes will follow closely, with a faint smile on his face. will not dissipate.

But at this moment, the figure of his leaving back is alone, cold and aloof, making it impossible for people to get close.

Why, even though they were so close just now, Sakura feels that they have never been so strange.

"Heizi-kun, it really makes me feel a lot better to look at you."

Although Sakura didn't know why as soon as she sat down, she found that the figure of Heizi sucking milkshake appeared next to her without anyone noticing, so she simply moved the tray and sat on the opposite side.

Heizi's eyes were still clear.

"Sakura-san, you have changed too."

Sakura was startled, "Huh?"

"Of course I didn't mean what you thought." Heizi put down his cup, his eyes fell, "Sakura's change is because of everyone's change. When everyone laughs, Sakura also laughs. Everyone doesn't laugh anymore. Sad. I mean this."

"Where's Heizi?"

"I... because I have no expression on my face."

Sakura stood up alone, "No, you are the same, Kuroko, you are more sad than me but stronger than me."

Heizi felt confused in front of his eyes, and the negative emotions that he had been unable to dissipate in his heart all this time were expressed bluntly, which made him feel relieved.

"Kuroko-kun, you are like the main character."

"Protagonist?"

"That's right, the protagonist who will definitely save everyone in the end. Kuroko, you are such a person."

Heizi smiled wryly, he shook his head lightly, "How could that be."

He doesn't even know what to do, he can't even help Aomine-kun.

"No. Heizi, you must be such a person." Sakura insisted, she had a premonition that Heizi could do things that she couldn't.

But it would be better to say that she forcibly transferred her hope to Heizi, thinking that she was not confident and not that strong.She stood in the carriage when the train's alarm bell rang, and the umbrella in her hand touched the ground, and the raindrops fell.

"Na-chan!"

The carriage door closed, Sakura took a step back and looked up at Kise Ryota who stepped into the carriage at the last moment in front of her.His delicate eyes were raised up, and his handsome face under the bangs still had a sunny smile.

Ryota still hasn't changed...you idiot.

Sakura whispered and dodged to the side.

なのに…Compared to this, Akashi has changed.This comparison made Sakura feel even more depressed, she kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

"Na-chan."

"You..." Her throat was astringent, and she raised her eyes to look at Kise Minglang's face, trying to figure out information from the side. "I'm talking about the basketball team, how are you guys playing?"

"Hmm... It's unusual for Nai-chan to ask about my department, but I'm very happy~"

Huang Lai's smile was still bright, and there was a bit of shyness in it.Sakura didn't notice it, she seemed to be scratched in her heart, she couldn't help but asked directly, "Akashita..."

Kise was stunned, "Eh? Ah...um."

It turned out that he wasn't asking about himself, but about his department because Akashi was here.

He maintained his smile, trying hard not to notice the disappointment in his heart, but found that the more he hid it, the more he widened the psychological gap, Kise finally looked at Sakura's face and smiled hard.

She herself didn't realize that her expression was so obvious.

"Akashi has changed, is this important to Na-chan?"

"When..." the first syllable that Sakura blurted out was stuck.

"Nai-chan, it's the first time you said that a person is very important to you."

Huang Lai suppressed her smile, with a meaning in her eyes that she couldn't understand, and locked her tightly so that she had nowhere to escape.

"You to Akashi..."

"You didn't accept Ono's confession because of Akashi?"

Why...how much did he know...

Instead, Sakura froze, she was speechless, looking at Kise who was slightly turned sideways, a strange chill swept over her body.

As soon as the train doors opened, she turned and ran, fleeing from the station in a hurry.The beating in her heart continued, she kept running on the road, the wind blew her hair away, and her eyes could only see the blurred light and shadow on the side of the street.The scenery passing by her side was dyed with darkness, which made her breathless. She wanted to pass through the long street to a place where no one was there.

Her palpitations were due to strenuous exercise, not a change in her mind.

No, what she likes is...

She stopped abruptly, Sakura looked down at her shoe that was splashed with sewage and covered her rising and falling chest, panting heavily.

Who do you like?She never would and would not like to admit that she likes Ryota, why now...

It's as if another fact is deliberately brought to the table in order to cover another fact. This is a despicable and ulterior use.

Trembling, she raised her hand to cover her face, and stopped on the side of the road.

Akashi, Akashi... almost all of her communication revolves around Akashi.She couldn't forget all the faces of Akashi in those two years, but she couldn't bring him back.

"I heard that you rejected Ono's confession because of Akashi?"

Sakura loosened his fingers, and the flying arrow pierced deeply into the bull's-eye, causing Zhang Yi to blow his whistle.

How many people know this?

"Don't look at me like that, we're in the same class, besides, when they were comforting Ono today, Akashi happened to pass by from behind, and that cold gaze scared them quite a bit."

Sakura took another quiver out of the quiver and put it on the bowstring, as if it was none of her business, and hit twice with two shots.

"Let me tell you, is it true that the worse the mood, the higher the hit rate?"

She glanced at him faintly and brought up a more important matter. "Have you seen Mr. Dashan?"

Zhang Yi's tone was still contemptuous, "Who knows that old man."

Sakura caressed the rough lines of the bow body. Teacher Dashan had closed the door since last month, and asked her not to come to practice for a while, but did not explain the reason. The senior brothers and sisters also told her not to worry about the upcoming competition, just some trivial matters.

trivia?If it's just a trivial matter, why there is no sign after a few inquiries in a month, no matter what the reason is, Sakura seems to feel that only he is kept in the dark.

Dashan Sensei has never left her bow dojo for a month. Through the navy blue hakama, she touched the old fluffy garrison handed to her when she first met Sensei, and she was very upset.

What the hell happened.

"That's right, you won't know either."

Akiichi didn't care, he asked, "So what's going on with you and Akashi?"

Sakura raised his hand and shot another arrow, but it deviated so far that he didn't even enter the third ring.

"Is it okay to have a fight?"
