[Black Basket] On the Possibility of Learning the Gods and Raiding the Shaking Gods

Heizi Tetsuya, come on stage again.

"Psychology?I don't believe in that kind of stuff.What I know is that people who have experienced failure will have a better chance of winning than those who have never experienced failure.People who have never been defeated are not weak, but people who have not experienced the pain of failure, the desire and persistence for victory, and the courage to break the game—”

"Even if there are thousands of Akashi Seijurou, they can't compare. 』

『Because he simply doesn't understand what victory really means. 』

Victory is not just a trophy, medal, or title, it carries too many things.The annoyance and unwillingness of the loser, the joy and carnival of the winner, the cheers and applause of the onlookers...

Such a heavy thing, people who have never experienced the pain of failure——

"How can it be picked up?"

She stared blankly at the passionate people coming and going on the court, and whispered softly.

When people were surprised, or worried, or disdainful, or indifferent to Heizi's appearance, the balance of victory and defeat began to change quietly.

Dai Qianxun started to shoot, out of his self-esteem for himself and the anger of being underestimated, but this made him completely fall into Heizi's trap, becoming the only loophole in Luoshan, and the loophole was gradually torn out and unable to salvage situation.

When he came back to his senses, Heizi had become a shadow again, and he diverted people's attention to him through Dai Qianxun's activity.

Liu Jiang praised: "Sure enough, Heizi's character is not as kind as it seems."

Lizi was speechless: "Are you sure you are praising him?"

"A compliment that is pure gold and silver."

"..." She'd better not tell Heizi, being praised by Imaji Liujiang is not much better than being hurt by her...

However, compared to Kuroko's character, Akashi is indeed worse.

Akashi continued to let Dai Chihiro play, but this time it was a unilateral use, he just used the opponent as a passing prop.

Aida Reiko, who was sitting next to Liujiang, glanced at her from the corner of her eye, and found that Liujiang had returned to the indifference at the beginning of the game, so quiet that it made people feel a little scared.

Shoichi Imayoshi's gaze suddenly shifted from the arena to the sidelines, and he could still see Liujiang from his angle.He and Liu Jiang seldom have brother-sister telepathy, but at this moment when he looked at her back, he vaguely felt that she was angry, and her anger value was about to explode. Already went up to beat people.

She was angry about Akashi's use of Dai Chihiro?This matter is indeed a bit too much, even if it is Imayoshi Shoichi, he would not use such hurtful means to win the victory - could it be because of Akashi Seijuro's method of "winning by any means" that made her Angry?

Maybe it's not impossible.

He still clearly remembered the anger in his sister's eyes when he came home the day Teiko won the third consecutive championship.

Would Akashi Seijuro at that time also be unscrupulous?

The ever-changing situation on the field failed to shake Liu Jiang's composure, even Akashi gave up on his teammates and entered the ZONE.

And Akashi Seijuro on the field seemed to rule the world, and even Vulcan couldn't completely stop him.

"I will lose." Liu Jiang said suddenly.

Lizi was surprised: "You...?"

As soon as Liu Jiang's words fell, Kuroko on the field broke Akashi's dribble, and also broke his dominance.

The situation changed in an instant so that Lizi could not care about which side Liujiang was talking about, and refocused on the game.

Akashi Seijuro felt a chaos in his head, and this chaos was both familiar and unfamiliar. It seemed that he had a little feeling when he fought Atsushi Murasakihara in junior high school, but it was different from that time.

He didn't fail that time, but now, it was indeed the first time in his life that he tasted failure.

He was shaken, shaken like never before.

"who I am."

Akashi Seijuro asked himself.

"You are my weakness."

From the shadows, there was an answer.

In the eyes of others, Akashi Seijuro was just lost in thought, or he was sluggish after a huge blow.In fact, his inner personality was at war fiercely.

"Victory is everything. 』

"Is victory really everything?It is too fragile to use victory to maintain something that cannot be replaced, and to lose it if you lose. 』

"What do you know when you become a weak person! 』

"Yeah, I probably don't understand. 』

However, everything cannot end like this.

When he opened his eyes again, Akashi's heterochromatic pupils returned to their original red color, shining brightly.

"You are……"

"Of course I'm Akashi Seijuro."

The young man with red hair and red eyes smiled and said to Dai Qianxun.

After the original Akashi Seijuro recovered, it made the game more difficult. He is the commander tower in an ideal state, and his good cooperation with his teammates even made all Luoshan members enter the ZONE.

However, in front of Seirin who owns the real ZONE, both sides are at a standoff.

"I'm just a shadow." Kuroko smiled and said to Akashi who was marking him, and made a pass movement.

The whistle blew, along with Vulcan's dunk—

At the end of the game, Seirin defeated Naksan by one point and became the champion of the Winter Cup.

At that moment, everyone in Seirin rushed into the arena, rejoicing rejoicing at the hard-won victory. After stepping through so many thorns and swallowing the pain that went deep into the bone marrow, they ushered in the final victory. Their cheers Almost resounded throughout the arena.

However, only Liu Jiang didn't follow the crowd, she just stood up, smiled and applauded.

Akashi Seijuro stood where he was, reminiscing about the pain of defeat, indescribable but painful, he had never experienced it before.

But at this moment, he felt an unprecedented fulfillment, as if he had obtained an item that he had never owned before.

He walked towards Seirin, sincerely wished Kuroko, and at the same time declared that he would definitely win next time.

After the awards were presented, the teams began to pack their things and prepare to leave.

After Liujiang and Lizi greeted each other, they walked straight towards Luoshan.

At first, people in Luoshan thought she was here to find trouble. After all, when she came, she obviously walked with wind and had a bad expression.But unexpectedly, the girl just walked up to Akashi and said blankly, "Seijuro, I won."

...The result is still to find trouble? !

Akashi nodded peacefully, "Yes."

"Remember what I said earlier?"

Akashi nodded, still smiling.

"Very good." As soon as she spoke, she raised her arm and slapped Akashi directly.

Before the people next to her could exclaim in surprise, they saw her hand resting on Akashi's cheek, almost touching it, as if stroking, but she didn't really hit it.

The girl changed her gestures and flicked a chestnut on Akashi's forehead like lightning, but the force was so light that——

Hey are you flirting? !Can you consider being single?

Akashi reached out and touched his forehead, and said with a smile, "Is this how you wasted a bet?"

Liu Jiang folded his arms, raised his chin, and said with a bit of arrogance, "Don't be complacent, I really want to beat you, but you just finished the game and I'm afraid you won't be strong enough, I'm afraid I'll beat you to your knees, then What is your dignity as the captain and president of the student union? Anyway, you have been taught to be a man by Heizi, so I can temporarily waive it."

Everyone in Luoshan: "=口=!!!" If you give him a chestnut, he will have dignity? !

Akashi sighed softly: "It's really gentle, Liu Jiang."

"..." Captain, where do you see that she is gentle? ? ?

"Your eyes?" Liu Jiang noticed that Akashi's eyes were no longer a different color, but a familiar pure red color when she looked closely. She remembered that Kuroko said before that Akashi had returned to his original personality, "It feels like nothing has changed. Ah, you really don't wear colored contact lenses?" What she actually wanted to ask was whether the other party's dual personality was acted out, and if so, his acting skills are beyond the mark, and what kind of basketball is he playing.

Akashi: "...No, I'm not so boring." The familiar feeling of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and he actually felt a little nostalgic =_=

And she felt that there was no change, just because Akashi was no different from No.1 in front of her, except for intermittent loss of control.

"Okay, then I won't have to go to the hospital for an examination." Liu Jiang shrugged, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Seirin's person who was about to leave, so he hurriedly said goodbye, "I'll go first."

"See you next time." After watching Liu Jiang leave, Akashi turned around, facing a bunch of gossip faces.

Shibuchi Lingyang: "Xiaozheng, you haven't dealt with Xiaoliu yet." It looks like Xiaoliu has dealt with Xiaozheng, I hope this is his illusion.

"It could have been done today." Akashi smiled, "Before she made a bet with me that if the WC champion was Luoshan, she would date me on the premise of getting married."

Everyone in Luoshan: "..."

They suddenly felt that the rare defeat was not so painful-Akashi not only lost the game, he was basically broken in love!No!Basically tantamount to being divorced!

A capital and bold is miserable!

Akashi had other plans.

Isn't it a good move to retreat to advance?

He looked at the direction Liu Jiang left, and his smile deepened.

The author has something to say: Personally, I like Liujiang to find the place where Akashi Danbokuri is. This is the best way I can think of. I don’t know what you guys think

Liu Jiang made her attitude clear from the beginning, she actually didn't like Akashi's later stage concept that victory was everything, including so many responsibilities on him, what belonged to him and what shouldn't belong to him

It is true that everyone has their own way of life

So Liu Jiang chose the path she felt was right, so she was angry at Akashi for using Dai Chihiro

Maybe she doesn't really think that Seirin will definitely win. She is in the game and doesn't have our God's perspective, but she made a bet with Akashi, which shows an attitude and idea, and said clearly to Akashi, "I don't like you." This kind of view is childish and straightforward, but it has no way to impact Akashi's beliefs

No?

In addition, I said before that the rhythm will be faster later. In fact, it mainly includes the plot of the original work. After all, I am not here to write the game. I added more elements of the basketball game, which is a bit off topic.

This article is almost over.

It’s not good if the competition occupies too much space. I tried to choose a few scenes that are more necessary for the plot.

After that, it has nothing to do with the plot of the original work, it is the direction of the emotional line

...I'm so afraid that I can't write emotional scenes well, I feel unnatural no matter how I write, I'm anxious to get angry OTZ

☆, the 55th Q

The end of WC means that the winter vacation is approaching.

The Seirin Basketball Club did not relax because WC won the national championship. On the contrary, they decided to conduct special training during the winter vacation.

When Reiko Aida inquired about Liujiang, she was obliged to go with the staff to be a "logistics".

However, on the day of departure, everyone waited and waited, but they didn't wait for the real-name bodyguard of their listed manager, but they waited for a call from Imayoshi Shoichi.

"Cold and fever?" Aida Reiko was quite surprised, in her impression, Imakichi Liujiang is not only not sick, she is almost invulnerable to all poisons, and King Kong is not bad, "Didn't you be fine a few days ago? "

Suddenly being informed that Imayoshi Liujiang was ill made everyone in the basketball team feel unbelievable, thinking that there must be something indescribable behind it...

Just by the tone of Aida Reiko, Imayoshi can feel her disbelief, and said with a little helplessness: "She had a little cold a few days ago, and her head has been groggy. I guess she didn't agree with you when she promised you." I do not know what you're talking about."

Aida Reiko: "... Then she must not be able to come today."

"The fever was almost 39 in the early morning." Jin Jixiang looked at Liu Jiang who was buried in the mattress, and sighed, "In short, you don't care about her, she must not come."

"Okay, then come and visit her when we come back from the special training."

"Well, sorry to bother you."

Putting down the phone, Jin Jixiang sat back beside Liujiang's bed, and took out the thermometer from her mouth—37.8 degrees. He was relieved, the temperature had dropped, and there should be no need to go to the hospital.

He took off the wet towel from Liu Jiang's forehead, and he could still feel the abnormal heat on her body with his fingertips.

Imayoshi put the towel into the water basin to soak it, and then gently wrung out some of the water, then put the towel on her forehead again.

"Huh? Bro?"

Liu Jiang was shivered by the coldness on his forehead, and half-opened his eyes in a daze.

As soon as Jin Jixiang didn't respond to her, he turned his head and looked at the clock on the desk. It was already ten o'clock in the morning.

"Want something to eat?" he asked.

Liu Jiang hadn't had breakfast today, she was still in a coma in the morning, Jin Jixiang didn't wake her up and let her sleep for a while.

"...I want to eat takoyaki."

The room was silent for a while, and a female voice with a strong nasal voice came from under the quilt, and the voice was almost muffled and changed its tone.

Imayoshi Shoichi: "...Don't make trouble, you have a fever and want to eat takoyaki?" I don't usually see her like to eat this.

"No... If not, let's dorayaki."

Imayoshi Shoichi: "I told you to stop making trouble..."

"Then the words burn, the words burn the head office, right?"

Jin Jixiang smiled: "Why do you ask more and more complicated, do you really think of me as a cook?"

Liu Jiang gave him a hard look. Her nose was blocked and she could only breathe through her mouth. She was extremely uncomfortable when speaking. When it was not necessary, she was willing to be a mute and express her opinions with expressions.

Jin Jixiang patted her arm hidden under the quilt lightly, and said: "When you recover from illness, you can eat these things as you like, don't even think about it now. I'll go and buy you some porridge."

"Then... you just asked me... what do you want to eat?" Liu Jiang gave him another look.

"This makes me more democratic, lest you and your parents sue."

"..." Do you think I won't sue if you ask me? !

Jin Jixiang cleaned up briefly, took his wallet and mobile phone, and went out to buy porridge for his sister. Before leaving, he told her not to run around in the ground unless she was in a hurry.If the condition worsens, send her directly to the hospital for water.

Liu Jiang slandered her heart and didn't want to talk to her brother.She had a fever since last night, and she hadn't eaten since last night, and now she was weak and weak, and she didn't want to torment herself.

After Jin Jixiang went out, Liu Jiang continued to rest with his eyes closed.When she was about to fall asleep again, she heard her own doorbell ringing. The sound of her improved doorbell was so loud that even she could hear it clearly in the bedroom on the second floor.Fortunately, few people come to Jinji's house, otherwise it is very likely to be reported by the neighbors to disturb the neighbors =_=

What's the situation, could it be that her brother didn't bring the key?Liu Jiang turned over and propped himself up on his elbows.

The doorbell rang again, and she frowned tightly. Her head was already groggy, but she was so annoyed by the ringing of the doorbell that she simply wrapped herself in a quilt and went downstairs to have a look.

Liu Jiang supported the walls and all kinds of furniture all the way to the entrance, took a look through the cat's eyes, but was stunned, and then stretched out his hand to open the door.

"Seijuro? Why are you here?"

It took Akashi Seijuro a few days to finish dealing with the matter over there in Luoshan, and he could really go home for the winter vacation.After he went home and rested for a day, he called Liu Jiang the next day and wanted to ask her out for a frank talk, but he didn't expect that the other party's phone was always turned off.

He couldn't get in touch with anyone, which surprised him, even if Liu Jiang wanted to hide from him, he wouldn't turn off the phone to hide, not to mention that she was not someone who could hide at all.

Even if No.1 status is restored, Akashi is not a passive person.After contacting Liujiang with communication tools to no avail, he simply came to the door directly.

But he really didn't expect to see Imakichi Liujiang in such a weak state—after she opened the door, she leaned against the door frame and forced herself to say hello, but her face was pale and her voice was hoarse, and she was still wrapped in a quilt. I will understand what's going on.

This is the first time Akashi Seijuro has seen Imakichi Ryue sick since he met her, and it is also the first time he has seen her so fragile, even though she is so fragile, she still does not change her strength.

The door of the entrance was opened, and the bitter cold wind of deep winter howled into the warm interior of Imyoshi’s house. The Ryukian standing at the vent was shivering, and subconsciously took a step back to the entrance, wanting to make room for Akashi to let him in. Come.

"What are you doing?!"

Liu Jiang felt light under his feet, and his whole body was hugged, and he immediately got out of the beautiful state of "down-to-earth".The waist and knees were embraced by someone, which became the supporting point of the weight of the whole body. She was so shocked that she even forgot about her shortness of breath. With the culprit.

After Akashi closed the door with his feet, he carried her to the stairs and asked as he walked, "Which room is yours?"

Liu Jiang: "What I'm asking is what are you doing?"

"Although I don't mind holding you all the time, do you find it comfortable?" Akashi calmly pushed the question back.

No matter how comfortable Akashi's embrace was, it was always better than lying on the bed.The corner of Liu Jiang's mouth twitched, and said, "Go upstairs to the one at the end on the left."

After Akashi quickly carried her back to her bedroom, he was free to take off his gloves and scarf.

Liu Jiang sat cross-legged on the bed, without thinking about the image problem, and directly wrapped herself into a ball.

The room was silent for a while, and the two were speechless.

In the end, it was Akashi who broke the weird and awkward silence.

"When did you get sick?"

"A few days ago, I had a fever last night." She tilted her head, "Why did you come to my house without saying hello?"

Akashi: "I suggest you turn on your phone and see how many missed calls you have."

Liu Jiang was stunned, turned around and began searching for his mobile phone all over the bed, finally found his own mobile phone from under the pillow, pressed the power button for a long time, but there was no response, so he couldn't help touching his nose: "Maybe the battery ran out."

Akashi raised his eyebrows, accepting her statement. He had also thought of this possibility, but it was more reassuring to confirm it with his own eyes.

"Why didn't you see your brother?" Akashi asked.

"He went out to buy me breakfast."

"You haven't had breakfast yet?" He frowned, with dissatisfaction and helplessness in his eyes, making Liu Jiang feel hairy.

"Otherwise, I'd better take the medicine first." Liu Jiang changed the subject, reaching for the pills and water glass on the bedside table.

However, Akashi took the things away first: "You'd better wait for a while to eat before taking medicine. Taking medicine on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach."

"...Okay." Liu Jiang pursed her lips, thinking about what else to talk about, the silence made her uncomfortable.

She could vaguely sense why Akashi came to her in person to find her. The only thing that hadn't been resolved between the two of them was the fact that the lover above AUO was not full.

However, Liu Jiang didn't want to discuss with the other party the issues above the friendship mentioned before. After all, it is not wise to discuss these matters in a state of fever, and it is easier to go back on words spoken on impulse. This is not good for her or Akashi Seijuro. fair.

Before she could think about the result, a cool hand touched her cheek lightly, and she raised her head subconsciously, her tea eyes and red eyes met.

The young man's red eyes were full of calmness and warmth, which made her uncomfortable all over her body disappear, as if telling her - if you don't want to talk, just don't say it.

The next moment, Akashi was surprised to see that the other party reached out to pull his hand away, but he didn't back away, but gently held his hand, as if he put it in his palm.

"thanks."

In the silent room, there was no sound.

Akashi Seijuro smiled slightly, nodded and accepted the girl's unspoken thanks.

Just as she could understand his unspoken intentions.

As soon as Jin Jixiang returned home, he saw the extra pair of shoes at the entrance, and he already had a premonition.

It's just that when he opened Imakichi Ryue's room and saw Akashi Seijuro with his own eyes, he still couldn't help looking at him with complicated eyes.

Especially when he found that Liu Jiang's hand stretched out from the quilt was holding Akashi Seijuro's hand, the complexity of his eyes escalated.

Akashi looked at Imayoshi's elder brother who was at the door, and just stretched out his index finger to make a silent movement, but nodded slightly at him.

His expression is still full of the meaning of "is bound to win", even more than the one Imayoshi Shoichi saw before - the Akashi Seijuro on the field.

Imayoshi Shoichi handed the porridge to Akashi Seijuro with some hesitation, then turned and walked out of the room.

Let her settle the younger sister's matter by herself. Even if he wants to deal with it, he has more than enough energy to deal with it.

The author has something to say:

Gentlemen, it's an exciting moment—the countdown to the end [.

☆, the 56th Q

After all, Jinji Liujiang's physical fitness is still very good, and the fever subsided after the day passed.After eating breakfast, he was alive and kicking again, and it was not a problem to even throw a big living person over his shoulder. He had recovered the physical condition that a bodyguard should have. [Big Fog]

The physical state has recovered by [-]%, but the mental state is not very good. This kind of badness has started since she recovered from her illness.

When Imaji Xiangyi went downstairs to drink water for the third time, he found that Liu Jiang was still sitting on the sofa in a daze, and finally couldn't help walking over - she sat back and forth for two hours, and she didn't even change her position , which is really worrying.

"Are you practicing meditation?"

Liu Jiang recovered and looked up at him: "No."

He turned over his wrist and pointed to the dial of the watch on his wrist: "You have been sitting here for two hours. Could it be that the fever made you stupid?"

"How is it possible, and the temperature hasn't reached over [-] degrees, and I am so old that I can still be burned stupidly? Brother, can you stop watching those weird TV dramas?"

Shoichi Imayoshi certainly knew that she hadn't been burned stupid, but the problem was that her current state was not much different from being stupid.

"If you want to go to Akashi Seijuro, go, I didn't tell you not to go out." He pushed his glasses helplessly, and sat on the single sofa on the other side, his tone full of earnestness.

Liu Jiang subconsciously retorted: "Why should I go to Seijuro?"

Jin Jixiang rubbed the center of his brows: "...he took care of you a few days ago, even if it is to thank you, he should go." Tired, why did he help his sister find a reason to meet her future boyfriend.

"That makes sense." Liu Jiang nodded, "Then I'll go there in a few days."

Jinji Xiangyi looked strange: "Are you busy these days?"

"No." She was on vacation, so she had nothing to do. The basketball club's training camp was also canceled due to illness, and she was even exempted from being a bodyguard.If there is something to say, it is winter vacation homework, but she never writes this kind of thing at the beginning of the vacation.

"Then why did you come to thank me in a few days?"

"..."

"It's better to go today, anyway, you have nothing to do today."

"..."

Imayoshi Liujiang got off the bus carrying the delicately packaged box of the dessert shop.

Strictly speaking, she was pushed out of the house by Jin Jixiang, who stuffed a few banknotes for her to buy some gifts, and then closed the door.

As Seijuro Akashi knew her, she wasn't one to run away from things.But since she can remember, she has never encountered this situation with Akashi Seijuro, and she was a little at a loss for a while.

But even if Liu Jiang doesn't know what to do, there will be no results if he just hides blindly, it's better to go directly to Akashi and have a good talk - isn't that the same plan he came to find her before?It's just that when she was sick, he didn't say a word.

Liujiang stopped, took a deep breath, looked up at the self-contained and isolated Japanese garden on the mountainside in the distance, and walked calmly towards the destination.

Akashi's house is also a few hundred meters away from the nearest bus stop. Liu Jiang walked on the road a few hundred meters away, feeling mixed emotions, the most obvious one being nervousness.

The biting cold wind blowing on her face didn't attract Liu Jiang's attention, and cold sweat broke out from her gloved hands. This unprecedented nervousness made her unconsciously slow down.

Stepping into the narrow road, Liu Jiang lowered his head in thought, but not long after, he heard the harsh sound of a horn behind him.

Turning back, a dark car was parked behind her, with snow falling from the branches on the hood.

This road is only wide enough for a car to pass through. Liu Jiang is walking on the side of the road, and the car can only follow behind her slowly. This speed is really unacceptable for the people in the car , Honk the horn to remind her to step aside.

Liu Jiang took a step back and retreated into the grass beside the road.The car quickly started and drove away.

She watched the car leave, but found that the direction of the car speeding away was Akashi's house.

Could it be a guest of the Akashi family?

Liu Jiang thought about whether he should go home or not.

Akashi Seijuro sat at the table in front of the window, fiddling with shogi pieces in his hands, and occasionally glanced at the heavy snow outside the window and the snow scene in the front garden.

Suddenly, the smart lock door opened slowly, and a black car he was familiar with drove into the yard from outside the door, and finally stopped.

His pupils shrank, and he pressed the shogi in his hand on the board, but he stopped looking at the situation on the board, got up and walked out of the house.

The door of the driver's seat was opened from the inside. After getting out of the car, a young man in a suit quickly walked around to the back seat on the other side, bowed slightly and opened the door, and said in a low voice, "My lord, we're here."

A middle-aged man got out of the car, also wearing a suit, his appearance was somewhat similar to Akashi Seijuro's, and his fierce aura made people tremble.

Akashi Seijuro could hardly see a pause in his footsteps, and quickly stepped forward: "Father."

The person who came was Akashi Seijuro's father, the current resident of the Akashi family, and Akashi Seijuro.

Akashi Seijuro nodded, and walked towards the entrance, Akashi Seijuro followed behind him.

"How is your course study going?" Akashi Seitomo finally spoke after entering the door, his voice was low and majestic.

"It's all done." Akashi Seijuro replied with downcast eyes.It's impossible that his father didn't know about his situation, and this kind of inquiry probably meant something else.

"Completion does not mean that you can apply what you have learned."

Akashi Seijuro still lowered his eyes: "Yes, I understand."

Akashi Seishomi turned around and walked into the study, after seeing the chessboard placed in front of the window, he seemed interested and walked over.

The game on the chessboard is very exciting, but no matter how exciting it is, it is over-one of the generals.

"Your chess skills have improved again."

"Thank you, Father."

Akashi Masomi raised his head and looked out the window, and could vaguely see a figure moving towards Akashi's house on the narrow road.

"But your basketball doesn't seem to be as good as chess," he changed the topic, "You lost a while ago, Seijuro."

He didn't approve of his son playing basketball from the beginning, but he acquiesced because he still maintained a perfect victory-however, this was of no use to Akashi's family business, and he always wanted Seijuro to give up.

Now is finally the right time.

"Yes." Akashi Seijuro responded, and then paused again, "But if you lose, you will win, and if you win, you will lose. This is competition, father."

"What are you talking about?" Akashi Seishomi turned around abruptly, staring at him with eagle eyes, "How can someone from the Akashi family say such weak words, have you forgotten what the family motto is?"

At this time, Akashi Seijuro finally raised his eyes. He looked straight into his father's eyes and said, "This is not weakness, but reality. Do you really think that victory is the only thing?"

Akashi Seiyuki sneered: "I'm not interested in your sophistry. For us, victory is our obligation and responsibility, not a goal."

Akashi Seijuro was speechless, he didn't want to continue arguing with his father on this issue, he knew that this deep-rooted concept could not be easily changed, and today it was just his statement.

What Liu Jiang wished he could understand, what Heizi wished he could understand—on the day he lost the victory, he finally understood, but at the same time he also accepted and overcome his inner weakness.

He is a man, not a god.

Akashi Seishomi stared at his son for a long time, then suddenly smiled, but the meaning was unclear.

"Is it because of that girl that you changed like this?" He raised his finger and pointed out the window. In the icy whiteness, the scarlet color seemed abrupt.

When Akashi Seijuro saw that scarlet color appearing at the door of his house, his eyes widened in surprise, and it was rare for him to lose control briefly.

He thought he would have to wait a while before seeing her again, but unexpectedly...

Seeing him in a daze, Akashi Masomi couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Father, I..."

"Okay, you go and pick her up."

Akashi Seijuro was a little surprised at his father's easy-going words, and still hurried downstairs to open the door.

Liu Jiang rang the doorbell, and before the doorbell rang a few times, the door was opened.

So fast?Shouldn't it be guarding the door?

Akashi Seijuro didn't even ask her why she came, he took her by the wrist and led him into the house, closing the door behind him.

Liu Jiang pulled down the big scarf that covered half of his face, revealing his whole face, "Well, thank you for taking care of me last time."

As he spoke, he handed him the gift box in his hand, and said: "If you don't want to eat it now, it's best to put it in the refrigerator. The temperature in the room is a bit high, and the shelf life is not long."

Akashi Seijuro did not reach out to take it, but raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Could it be that you are going to give a gift, thank you, and then go."

While still at the porch, he clarified the purpose of his visit, and talked to him without even taking off the scarf, obviously he had no intention of entering the house.

"Hmm." She replied vaguely, but she didn't think about it.

"Leave as soon as you come from a long distance, you are not a courier who delivers goods to your door." Akashi Seijuro said helplessly, "At least go inside and sit for a while."

Liu Jiang hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement. Originally, her real intention was not to thank him, but to talk to him.

Taking off the scarf, gloves, and coat, and putting them all on the coat rack in the entrance, she followed Akashi Seijuro into the house.

No matter how many times she came to Akashi's house, the strange and complicated maze-like layout still threatened to make her get lost.

It's just that when he reached the stairs, Liu Jiang suddenly regretted it - why did she agree to come in and sit for a while?

Standing on the stairs on the second floor was a middle-aged man who looked like he was related to Akashi Seijuro at first glance, and most likely it was his father.

Although she has met the grandfather of the Akashi family, she has never seen the current head of the family, and the aura of the other party makes her feel a little uncomfortable—as if he is an evolution of the two-character Akashi Seijuro.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that the way the other party looked at her almost didn't have 'unfathomable' written on her face.Intuition told her that this Akashi's father didn't have a good impression of her, and was even somewhat hostile.

"Liujiang, this is my father."

Jinji Liujiang couldn't control the twitching of the corner of his mouth, and said hello: "Hi, uncle."

Akashi Masomi quickly glanced at her, twitched the corners of his mouth, but he didn't seem to be smiling: "Imayoshi Ryujiang, right?"

Liu Jiang blinked: "Yes." How did he know about himself? Could it be that Seijuro and his father mentioned him?

She subconsciously glanced at Akashi Seijuro, but saw him shake his head slightly.

... didn't mention it?

Akashi Masomi had a panoramic view of the interaction between the two, and was silent for a moment.

"Miss Imayoshi, is it convenient for you to talk to me?"

Although he used a questioning sentence, his tone was so strong that no one could refuse, not to mention that in this case, saying 'inconvenient' was an impossible option.

True Multiple Choice Questions.

Liu Jiang: "...Huh?"
