"Zhou Fang classmate, Zhou Fang classmate."

The girl lying on the table was gently pushed by the next table.

Zhou Fang Hongye woke up from sleep, rubbed his eyes and sat up, muttering: "What are you doing..."

The girl at the next table covered her mouth and smiled: "Akashi-san is here, looking at you at the door."

"Eh!"

Momiji raised her head in surprise when she heard that, saw Akashi Seijuro standing at the door of the class, and met his gaze.She was stunned for a second before remembering that she accidentally slept through the appointed time. Akashi probably came to look for her at the door of the class because she didn't show up.

She quickly picked up her bag and ran out, and walked up to Akashi, a little embarrassed.

"I accidentally fell asleep... sorry."

Hongye glanced at Akashi, seeing that he had no signs of preaching, she leaned over and stuffed her palm into the hand that was hanging at his side.

Akashi sighed, and took her hand: "Let's go, Momiji."

After speaking, he took a step forward.

Three weeks have passed since that incident.

Three weeks ago, on the way to a date, Hongye was kidnapped by a vicious murderer. Fortunately, Akashi arrived in time, and before Hongye was about to be killed, she was rescued and sent to the hospital.

After receiving the notice, Hongye's elder brother Zhou Fangzun and Barbara's people rushed over, and when they saw the comatose Hongye, their faces were terribly gloomy.Wuwuluo dispersed on the spot, looking for the escaped murderer, while Zhou Fangzun stayed in the ward, waiting for Hongye to wake up.

"Calm down, king." Toku Tara comforted before leaving, "There will always be a way."

"kindness."

Akashi sized them up without a trace, and was keenly caught, and the Red King looked back.

It was as if something invisible was colliding fiercely in the ward.

After a second, Zhou Fangzun closed his eyes without interest, and Akashi looked away calmly.

"It's like two ferocious beasts are testing each other." - This is the evaluation given to them by Shi Shu later.

When Hongye woke up, the first thing she saw was the young man leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.She staggered and ran out of bed, and when she was about to fall, she was caught by Zhou Fangzun, and she lay in Zhou Fangzun's arms and cried hoarsely, as if she wanted to shed all the tears for a lifetime.

The young man covered her head with his hands, and remained silent without saying a word. The warm palms and embraces gave Hongye a great sense of security and the power to get out of the nightmare.

As long as my brother is here, it doesn't matter.

She has always thought so since she was a child.

Later, sobbing, she wiped away tears with Zhou Fangzun's sleeve, and a handkerchief appeared in front of her eyes in due course.

The white and delicate handkerchief was pinched by a slender hand and handed to Hongye.Hongye took the handkerchief and raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, her vision was blurred, only a figure standing in front of the bed was vaguely seen.

Against the light, it became a dark silhouette, only the short rose-red hair was particularly obvious.

"... Akashi-kun?" she asked hesitantly.

"kindness."

"That..." Hongye didn't wipe her tears, she just clenched her hands, unable to speak.Finally, in the sight of the boy, she thanked him in a low voice.

"Thank you, Akashi-kun."

Akashi said calmly, "It's okay."

Hongye didn't know what to say, what Akashi did was completely beyond her expectations, making Hongye, who had been very casual about this relationship, feel puzzled and confused, and subconsciously wanted to avoid this complicated change.

Even Hongye was so timid that she didn't even dare to meet his eyes.

Fortunately, this embarrassing situation didn't last long, and Akashi behaved no differently, and soon said goodbye and left, which greatly relieved Hongye.

Remembering that her brother was still by her side, she hurriedly smiled at Zhou Fangzun, let go of her tightly clenched hands, and wiped away the tears still remaining in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Thoughtful, Zhou Fangzun took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in his mouth without lighting it.

that boy...

Hongye thought for a long time in the hospital, and finally made a decision.

As if seeing through her entangled mentality, Akashi didn't come to the hospital to visit these few days, but just asked someone to bring some things over.Sometimes it's fruit, sometimes it's a bunch of flowers, which Duo Liang puts in the vase in front of the hospital bed.

On the day of discharge from the hospital, it was already afternoon when I arrived at the school. Hongye ran to the basketball court, quietly opened the door and peeked inside.

The members were training in full swing, and Akashi was among them, directing the training.Hongye didn't go in, but leaned outside the basketball hall, waiting for the practice to end.

The basketball club always ends a bit later than other clubs.

Hongye watched the people passing by in front of her turn from a surging crowd to twos and threes, and finally disappeared. She couldn't help but look back, and it happened that someone inside opened the door and bumped into Hongye.

The tall boy looked at Hongye and thought for a while, then smiled kindly.

"I remember you are... Xiaozheng's girlfriend? Did you come to find Xiaozheng?"

"I want to find Akashi-kun." Hongye replied in a daze.

"Xiaozheng is still changing clothes, just come in and wait for him, by the way, I am Mibuchi Reo in the third grade." He looked Hongye up and down, and laughed again, "What a cute girl~ I'm a little envious of Xiao Zheng."

"Ha...not anymore."

Hongye still wanted to be polite, but Lingyang Shibuchi directly pulled her in.

"Come in, come in."

"Okay, then excuse me."

The red leaves stepped into the gymnasium, and the heat wave hit our face, mixed with the smell of the sweat of adolescent boys and the smell of antiperspirant spray, it can't be said how good it smells.Momiji sat on the bench by the side of the field, her eyes skipped over the boys who came out of the gym one after another, and it didn't take long before she saw Akashi who was wiping his wet hair.

The red-haired boy put a wet towel on his shoulders, and walked over with a wet body.

A few strands of wet hair hung down in front of his eyes, and a few drops of water were still stained on his skin, which flowed down the line of his neck to the inside of his sportswear.

"I heard from Lingyang that you were looking for me." He stood still in front of Hongye, lowered his head slightly to look at her, "What's wrong?"

Momiji felt a little nervous when facing Akashi Seijuro for the first time.

She clenched her fists, took out the folded handkerchief from her bag, and handed it to Akashi: "I'll give it back to you."

"Ah, it doesn't matter if you don't."

"And..." Seeing that he still put away the handkerchief, Hongye mustered up her courage, stared into his eyes and said, "I'm here to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Akashi asked calmly, "Apologize for what?"

Hongye clasped her hands uneasily, her eyes fluttered. After a while, she organized her vocabulary and said slowly: "I want to apologize for my previous attitude, Akashi-kun." She paused hesitantly, and clasped The palms were loosened and clenched again, "I have never taken this relationship seriously, never taken it to heart, and did not pay attention to it. I just regarded it as a transaction of equivalent exchange, a game..."

Akashi watched Hongye quietly, watching her shake her head slightly, with a look of embarrassment and guilt on her face.

She said a long list, dissected out her own nature, and put it in front of Akashi for people to watch. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head.

"...So, I'm sorry, Akashi-kun."

She said dejectedly, not daring to look into his eyes, and then added in a self-defeating manner: "I know I've gone too far, so I don't want to get your forgiveness, but I just feel that I have to apologize. I'm sorry, from now on I... ..."

"Ah, yes, I see." A clear male voice interrupted Hongye's words.

Momiji was a little surprised by Akashi's calmness, and couldn't help raising her head.

She saw the corner of the boy's mouth curled up slightly.

"Since I said what I said, it seems that there is no need to punish you, Hongye."

He said something extraordinary with his usual expression.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?!" Hongye looked at him in horror, "What did you say?"

"I said——this is very good, Hongye, it seems that we can continue to get along with each other in the future."

"Wait, wait, Akashi-kun." Hongye covered her face, feeling as if she had been misjudged all along, and wanted to yell instantly, "I always feel that you just said something terrible, you looked super dangerous, Is it my illusion? Punishment or something..."

"You heard it wrong."

"I don't think I have."

"Momiji." Akashi called her name.

Hongye closed her mouth: "Okay, I got it wrong."

"Then..." Leaving this paragraph aside, Hongye asked awkwardly, "Akashi-kun, can we still be friends from now on?"

Relationships are too unreliable for Hongye, even she herself doesn't believe in her attitude towards feelings. Compared with this, friendship is more reassuring.

"I refuse." Akashi said.

"...Eh. Well, I get it." Hongye said somewhat disappointed.

The boy continued: "I don't think it's necessary to break up the relationship, it's fine." He said, extending his palm to Hongye.

Because he was standing, the light poured down from the top of his head, adding a hazy halo to his face.Hongye stared blankly at him for a while, only to feel that her eyes could no longer be separated from the boy in front of her.

"But……"

"If it's something you're worried about." Akashi glanced at Hongye with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I won't give you this condition again."

"..." It was really dangerous.

"Now that you have realized your mistakes, you should work hard. If you believe that you have no choice but to avoid it, you will never change in your life."

"I will be the motivation for you to try, and the reason for you to pay, to accompany you to make a little change - because I am Akashi Seijuro, so I can do all of this."

The young man said, it is so natural that people can unconditionally believe what he said.

"So, Hongye, hold my hand."

Hongye stretched out her hand, put it on Akashi's open palm, and he grasped it.

"That's enough."

****

"You still want to take me home today?" Hongye said while walking, "I think every time you meet with Barbara, there will be sparks."

"No problem."

"I don't believe you...By the way, Zhengjun, when is your next match? I'm going to see it too."

"Aren't you not interested in basketball, and you don't understand it?" Akashi pointedly poked Momiji's sore foot. "Up to now, you can only distinguish between two-pointers and three-pointers."

"...Hey." Hongye couldn't argue, "But as long as you play, I become more energetic, and I didn't feel sleepy at all last time,"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Hongye stretched out a finger, pressed it against her chin, recalled the scene at that time, and commented: "Zhengjun, you play basketball like a superpower. When I watched it at the time, I was afraid that someone would treat you as a superpower. The victim grabbed it and was taken aback."

Akashi wanted to say something, but Koye continued.

"But it's just good-looking. It's better than all the people in the audience combined."

Said the girl with long red hair.

"Okay, stop talking." Akashi paused for a second before looking at her nonchalantly.

"I'll pick you up then, you come with me."

Hongye smiled, shaking the arm that was holding each other.

"Well, okay, let's talk about it."
