[Comprehensive] different hearts

Saturday is the qualifier for the "National High School Comprehensive Sports Conference" in Kyoto Prefecture. Early in the morning, participants and spectators from various schools gathered in the prefectural gymnasium.

"The weather is really starting to heat up."

Rina covered her eyes with her hands and looked up at the sun. The sky was clear today, and the clear blue sky seemed to be washed clean. Because it was the weekend, she was wearing light casual clothes, and her shoulder-length hair was tied up with a rubber band. , revealing a slender and fair neck.

When Fushantaro approached secretly from behind, Rina, who has practiced karate all the year round, turned her head with a premonition, but found that the boy was less than a book away from her, and she subconsciously took a step back and pulled away. From the distance, he said in surprise: "Bushan?! Why didn't you say hello...?"

"Hey, you want to scare the big sister, did you succeed?" Bushan scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, he noticed the bag in the girl's hand, and asked curiously, "What's in it? By the way, does the eldest sister think that I have worked hard in the game and specially prepared lemon juice for me?"

"That's not true. Besides, I don't like to go into the kitchen. It's a coat inside." At this point, Li Ming's expression suddenly became a little obscure. The game was still early, and she came to the gymnasium early. She pondered for a while and said to him, "You said before that your opponent in today's game is Luoshan. I haven't had time to tell you before. I am now the manager of Luoshan's basketball team..."

"I know." Bushan said suddenly.

Li Ming was taken aback.

Bushan smiled and said: "Don't underestimate our intelligence network, I know that the eldest sister is the manager of Luoshan, and I also know that the eldest sister will watch this game, so - please look at me! The eldest sister. "

The eyes of the radiant young man were full of longing and anticipation.

"I have something that I want to tell my eldest sister after the game. Now, please wait a moment." Bushan pursed his lips tightly. With a serious expression that he had never had before, he said slowly, "Maybe it is some ignorant words, but it is the most sincere thought in my heart. I want to convey it to the eldest sister, so—"

——So, this time, it was the elder sister's turn to look at his back.

"Hi~ Manager. Hey, who is this person?"

At this time, Kotaro Hayama's high-pitched voice suddenly came from not far away, interrupting Bushan's unfinished words, and Li Ming turned his head to see that Luoshan's group had already arrived.

Akashi was walking in the front. He seemed to have seen her a long time ago, but he didn't make a sound immediately.Instead, it was Ye Shan who looked at Bu Shan curiously and asked.

"Big sister—!" Bushan seemed to have something to say.

But Li Ming interrupted him directly, and she summed it up in a serious tone: "Listen, Bushan, you don't know what kind of opponent Luoshan is, so the result of the competition may not be satisfactory, but as long as you work hard , that's enough, you are the winner in my heart, understand?"

"What's the big sister, don't you think I'm going to lose before the game starts..." Bushan complained after being slightly stunned.

Luo Shan's group had already walked up to the two of them. After getting closer, Ye Shan saw the school badge on Bu Shan's clothes clearly, and immediately showed a lack of interest, muttering: "What, are you a contestant?"

Bu Shan read the obvious contempt from Ha Shan's indifferent words, and his anger suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. He was about to say something when the boy with dazzling red hair and exquisite appearance suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Li Ming, it's time." After a slight pause, the boy calmly reminded him, and then went to the gymnasium.

From start to finish, his eyes didn't seem to rest on Bhushan - in the case of him clearly wearing the competition tracksuit.

Bushan gritted his teeth.Those people didn't take him seriously at all.

"I'm going in." The girl who planned to follow looked at him worriedly, and emphasized again, "Please remember what I just said, Mr. Bushan."

"Ah, I see, Da... Liming Sang." Holding back his anger, Bushan said with a hearty smile, "Don't worry."

Don't worry, he will definitely... defeat them!How dare you look down on people!

Rina was still worried, but even so, as the manager of the Luoshan basketball team, she chose to keep up with Akashi-kun and the others.

When she followed, Akashi and the others were waiting for her, Rina subconsciously glanced at Akashi, but he didn't mean to ask anything, just said: "Go in."

·

Before the start of the game, the two sides will do warm-up activities on the court, not only to prevent injuries due to joint stiffness during the game later, but also to familiarize themselves with the playing field.

On the opposite side of the basketball court, the opponents of the game are cheering together, but Luoshan's side is much more casual, most of them are doing warm-up by themselves.

Hearing the shouts from over there, Ye Shan suddenly thought of something, ran to Li Ming, and asked with a smile on his face: "Manager, speaking of it...there is someone in that school who is your acquaintance, just that little one. "

Bushan is not short in height, but compared with Hashan who is 1.8 meters, he is still a little thin.

"Well," Li Ming nodded and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"I just want to—do you want me to put the water down later? After all, if we are serious, he will lose quite badly, and he might cry." Ye Shan seemed to have no idea how malicious he said. He said in a brisk tone, "Since I'm an acquaintance of the manager, it's really pitiful to lose too badly, but it's definitely not enough for me to release the water alone. Why don't the manager try to persuade Akashi again? Although I don't know why, but I It feels like Akashi will listen to the manager."

"If I do this, Akashi-kun will only look down on Bushan-kun even more." Li Ming looked at the opposite half of the court, as if he had noticed her gaze. After waving his hand, Li Ming paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, Akashi-kun is not someone who will make fun of games, even in the qualifiers."

"That's true..." After Li Ming said this, Ha Shan thought about it, so he didn't mention it again, but said, "Then I'm going to warm up, manager."

Rina lowered her eyelids.

Yes, she is clear, with Akashi as the opponent, what will happen.

After all, she had seen it countless times when she was in middle school—destroyed with all willpower, trembling with fear, the world without basketball in sight...the faces of those losers.

"Hush—" the whistle came from the center of the arena.

The referee, who appeared in the center of the field with a basketball in hand, began to call the players.

The game is about to start.

·

The rationale is known.Modesty and courtesy, but he believes that the winner is king. The two seemingly contradictory sides are both Akashi.

She has been watching and has no right to interfere, so she has been watching.Watching the "Generation of Miracles" slowly gather together, watching their names resound throughout the country, and watching them fall apart.

Momoi Wuyue was at a loss for what to do about this, and so was she.

That was when I was still in Teiko Middle School. One day after school, the setting sun dyed the whole sky a brilliant orange, but the gymnasium after club activities was a bit empty and lonely.

(Has Akashi-kun left already...?)

Before pushing the door open, she heard the crisp sound of a basketball landing in the gymnasium.The gymnasium door opened a tiny gap.

The basketball rolled and fell into the corner.

She heard Akashi commenting on the "Shadow" who supported the "Generation of Miracles" along the way, with a tone of throwing away his emotions: "Tetsuya, the current you are no longer suitable for Teiko."

"What's the matter? Manager." Dai Qianxun's voice as a substitute pulled her back from her thoughts, she turned her head to look, and Dai Qianxun pointed out, "Hey, the bottle is twisted like that, I can't tell, the manager's strength So big."

The mineral water bottle held by Li Ming was twisted into a twisted shape by him at some point. Li Ming let go of his hand, watched the game on the court intently, and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing."

"Stop lying, I met that guy at the door just now, is that your friend? He was crushed and beaten pretty badly." Dai Qianxun said suddenly, "It's about to be halftime, why don't you ask the young master to put some water on it?" , anyway, you are boyfriend and girlfriend, maybe he will listen."

The dribble was intercepted, the shot was blocked, and all of Bushan's actions were seen through by Akashi. He commanded Luoshan's players skillfully without giving the opponent a chance.The last half passed without even scoring a single point from Bhushan's side.

"..." Li Ming remained silent and did not respond.

Not long after, the referee blew his whistle and the halftime break.

Li Ming watched Bushan return to the rest area in disgrace. The morale over there was very low. Someone patted Bushan on the shoulder to comfort him. A stiff smile appeared on his gray face, and the corner of his mouth moved, but he couldn't say anything. Speak up.

"If you want to keep him safe, you shouldn't let him compete." Akashi who passed by her said lightly.Rina's pupils suddenly constricted, she clenched her fists silently, and gritted her teeth softly, "Does Akashi-kun think so?"

"You should be very clear that he has no chance of winning from the very beginning." Akashi looked at her small movements with a distant expression.

"Well, I know, after all, Akashi-kun has never lost. However, Akashi-kun doesn't know that Fushan is a 3-minute fan of everything, doesn't like studying, and doesn't have a good relationship with his classmates. However, he likes basketball very much. Also because of basketball, I met great friends. Such a Bushan Jun, who can stand on the court until now, is already very good." Li Ming looked at Bushan on the opposite side, and said with a smile, "I don't think this is the case. Bu Shanjun lost, at least, he didn't lose to himself."

"Are you judging winning or losing from the perspective of your heart? As a material to appease the loser, the angle is good." Akashi raised his lips and said suddenly, "Next—the warm-up time is enough. In the second half, I will be a little more serious Bar."

...Slightly more serious?Was the first half just for fun?

She suddenly looked up at him.The young man looked at her calmly, without any wavering in his eyes. Because of this, Li Ming could be sure that everything he said was true. In the first half...he had already let go.
