[Main Black Basket] Time Knows

"... said something that might make you think I'm weird." Kise began to clean up the table and threw the empty paper cups into the trash; "If you think my behavior is terrible... I don't Knowing what to do to comfort you, I cared too much about you at that time, so I often found time to observe you...I also thought it was weird, but I couldn't stop..."

Kise had been cleaning the table when he said these words, with his back to Suzune Hashimoto—in fact, he ate quite cleanly, and there was nothing to clean on the coffee table, but he was very focused on holding Wipe the area in front of you with a tissue.

Hashimoto felt that the feeling of blocking his throat was gradually getting worse, it was very uncomfortable, and he was about to be unable to breathe.

When Hashimoto Suzune was trying to find something to say, Kise suddenly stood up and turned to her with a smile and said: "Speaking of which, I should go too, there will be an interview program later, Xiao Suzune I still have to work~ Let's go out to play after we finish our work~"

"That, Kise-kun..." must be rejected - Hashimoto Suzune's rationality told her that she must completely reject this person, even if it hurts him, it is because it will hurt him, and it must continue Before the damage develops, it is right to allow this person to leave earlier, otherwise you will only make this person more and more unfortunate.

"Only once is fine." Kise was still smiling brightly, but the fragility in those eyes made Hashimoto Suzune feel that he was already very fragile and was going to the limit, because he didn't want to be in front of her It was so embarrassing that I was already going to the limit; "Little Lingyin, let's try it out... I shouldn't be too bad, right? It might be a bit narcissistic to say that, but I shouldn't be inferior to Little Heizi in any way, right? At least , at least I like you more than Little Heizi..."

"Emotions are not..." Hashimoto Suzune was interrupted by Kise's hug.

It was a very gentle hug, as if worried about being pushed away by her, Kise's hands didn't even dare to touch her back, just wrapped her around her between his arms, but the distance was already very close, Hashimoto Her nose touched Kise's thin knitted cardigan, and she was surrounded by a faint fragrance, like the smell of jasmine, gentle and fragile.

"Just give it a try..." Kise's voice trembled uncontrollably, and Hashimoto felt guilty because of his pleading tone, and she heard her say in a voice that seemed to be crying; "Little Isn’t Suzune still married to Yukimura-san? If you like Kuroko but can marry someone else, why not try to fall in love with me now? Suzune, don’t be so cruel to me alone... "

Hashimoto Suzune froze for a moment, as if a bucket of ice water had suddenly been poured over her head, and she couldn't help shivering: "...it's different..."

Hashimoto's painful voice made Empress Kise Ryo realize that she had said something wrong, but what she had said could not be taken back, so he could only grit his teeth and continue: "What's different... Am I not good enough?"

Hashimoto seemed to be slowly getting back to himself, Kise Ryota pushed away, the gentle smile on that face was gone, replaced by indifference: "Kise-kun, please go back."

Kise pursed her lips, didn't insist on anything, nodded and said goodbye. When she walked to the door, she couldn't stand the guilt in her heart, so she turned her head and said to Hashimoto Suzune who was standing there: "...just now, I said something I shouldn't have said, sorry."

Hashimoto Suzune just smiled at his apology: "It's okay, don't take it to heart."

Kise felt more and more sad, he opened the door and walked out - Hashimoto Suzune didn't like him, really not at all, didn't like him.

No matter what she did or said to her, she really didn't care about him at all, and even made him ignore her - but he liked her, as long as he liked someone, how could he not care about her ?

If you like someone, you will definitely imprint everything about the other person in your heart—— Hashimoto Suzune also has this kind of thinking.

From the day after being rescued by Kuroko Tetsuya, Hashimoto Suzune began to want to know everything about this person uncontrollably.

She spends all her time except studying and clubs paying attention to Kuroko Tetsuya——she has a weak sense of existence and is often ignored by others. At the beginning, Hashimoto would not pay attention to find where he went, and then Hashimoto began to search hard, and after a long time, she developed the skill of finding Kuroko Tetsuya at a glance even during school and school hours during the rush hours of people coming and going.

His physique is a little weak. Although he is obviously a member of the basketball club, he is not very capable of high-intensity training, but he is very persistent. Even if he is tired enough to throw up, he will continue to participate in training after packing himself up—because seeing Hei Zizhe also has Tired enough to spit it out, Hashimoto began to secretly stuff the biscuits she made into the other's drawer. Even if the other party might find out the next day, she would still put them in, and sometimes they would turn into donuts. Looking at the content of the home economics class, after all, she couldn't bring it from home. She doesn't have an oven at home, and if it's a bento...it doesn't feel like it's very easy to sell.

When there is no basketball club activity on Wednesday, Hei Zizhe also likes to go to the library to read. He often borrows some world famous books to go home and read. Hashimoto will silently write down what books the other party borrowed, and then he will look through those books when he is in club activities Come and see, if you can't finish reading it once and don't understand it, you can read it next time, but you can't borrow it home. She is afraid of leaving her name on the library card, and she always feels that she will reveal her feelings.

Likes to drink vanilla milkshakes, hates cola, and occasionally does surprising things... It can be said that he is a bit black-bellied, he is a very gentle person, he is very polite to everyone, and he goes to the video game city with his friends Unexpectedly, I will go to the dance machine, and I dance very well, and the claw machine technology is very strong...

After the years have passed, Hashimoto Suzune can still easily recall every detail of observing Kuroko like a criminal many years ago, the things that person likes and dislikes, the things that person is good at and the things that he is not good at, Every word, everything, everything they ever talked to.

Hashimoto Suzune never thought that while he liked someone so much, there was another person who liked him in the same way.

【'Lingyin is a very good person. I like you because you are good enough. If you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in me. ']

She thought of Yukimura Seichi, who was no longer by her side. He also said similar things, saying that she was very nice and gentle.

Kise-kun and Seichi are different, but they both said similar things - Hashimoto Suzune was not happy with what they said, but more and more painful.

If she is really a gentle person—why does she always make others hurt.

Seichi is like this, Kise-kun is like this, and even my favorite Kuroko-kun is the same.

Hashimoto deeply hated herself for always making others sad. People like her are the cruelest people in the world.

It would have been nice if she hadn't been born into this world—and what made Hashimoto Suzune feel the worst about herself—is that she hated herself so much, but she never thought of dying.

Living in contradiction, wishing she could die while trying to survive in the world, she is a shameless person.

Hashimoto Suzune thought this all the time.

The matter that Hashimoto Suzune entrusted to Mr. Takagi Taishi went very smoothly. Since the day after she announced that she would sue those entertainment magazines, there was no rush to hang around the office building, let alone any magazines dared to sue those entertainment magazines. Randomly reporting the breaking news that she imagined, even the magazine she named to sue published an apology announcement the next day-the matter about Hashimoto Suzune and Yukimura Seichi seems to have come to an end for the time being, and there are still people who dare to report, It's just a few words about Kirihara Koyo's upcoming movie, "It is said that the movie is based on the true story of the famous tennis player Seiichi Yukimura and Suzune Hashimoto, editor-in-chief of Trend Japan."

There were also fewer gossips in the editorial department. Although Miyuki Kimura tried to test Suzune Hashimoto from time to time, Hashimoto could always avoid serious problems and ignore minor ones.

The email from the New York headquarters didn't arrive until Friday. The specific content was to ask her to arrange an interview with her to be published on the front page of next month. I did the best way to deal with it, and fought back hard against those entertainment magazines that tried to stink her, and told the Trend audience that she was absolutely innocent-but after all, everyone is paying attention to this, so my own magazine To conduct further follow-up reports, it will definitely attract a new batch of audiences.

Hashimoto understands the meaning of the above very well, and also agrees with this kind of profit-making method-it's just...she needs to think about it, she needs to protect the reputation of Jingshi...arrange who will interview her, and how to say it can protect Jingshi well ...She needs to think about it.

The most important point - can she really tell others about the matter between herself and Jingshi... Jingshi's parents probably don't want to be disturbed by these things... It is already causing troubles to Jingshi’s family members, will it become more serious in the future?

"...Maybe it would be more appropriate to resign..." Hashimoto Suzune couldn't help thinking of this when she heard the message ringtone, she turned around and picked up her phone to read the new email - [To: Suzune, I'm downstairs. By: Kuroko Tetsuya]

After Hashimoto Suzune pursed her lips with a somewhat frozen expression, she couldn't help sighing, and then replied that she would go down immediately.

Kuroko Tetsuya has been insisting on picking her up from work these days, and then took her to a ramen restaurant near Seirin for dinner. Although he didn't talk about liking her like that day, he simply talked about his work. About Suzune and Yukimura Seichi's matter, I just asked Suzune "Are you okay" on the day the entertainment magazine published it, Suzune said it was all right and arranged for a lawyer to deal with it, and Hei Zizhe didn't ask anything else.

Then after dinner together yesterday, Kuroko asked her to go to a barbecue today, but because she had promised Yukio on Saturday, she would go to Yukimura's house in Kanagawa as a guest, so Hashimoto Suzune refused, and Hashimoto Suzune said Zhou Liu was going to Kanagawa, and Heizi said he wanted to see her off. Hashimoto naturally refused, but Heizi Tetsuya came anyway.

Hashimoto had a very headache - it was a matter of seconds before she could be cruel to Kise, and she thought she was cruel enough to Hei Zizhe, but why did these two people not back down at all!She has committed embarrassing cancer for them, okay!Are men so frustrated and courageous when chasing women? ?Do you shake M! ?

Hashimoto sometimes wonders if it would be better to simply cut off contact - but this kind of thing can only be thought about, Kise is a famous male model after all, the possibility of their magazine interviewing him is definitely not low, and Hei Zizhe is also counted as her One-sided severance, according to his persistent personality, he will continue to come to her like this, she can't avoid it like this every time - after all, such an evasive behavior is too cowardly.

So Hashimoto can only insist on treating them with the attitude he treats ordinary people, hoping that in the long run it will make them give up on themselves.

After Hashimoto walked out of the apartment building, he saw Kuroko Tetsuya, who was standing next to his car in a dark blue T-shirt. When he saw her coming, he opened the car door for her first. Hashimoto Suzune greeted her with a smile Thank you, and then I bent down and got into the car. When Heizi went around and got into the driver's seat, Hashimoto just put on his seat belt: "Today is really troublesome, Heizi-kun."

"It's nothing at all, JR is full of strangers, Suzune-san will be very lonely, isn't it." Heizi started the car while talking; trouble."

...How could she answer the conversation in this state——Hashimoto bit his lip, unable to answer, he could only turn his head and look out the window.

In fact, she is happy.

If someone who has liked you for a long time tells you that he likes you too, how could he be unhappy?

But the happier you are, the more guilty you feel.

Hashimoto Suzune cannot be happy, she has done too bad things, it is impossible for a person like her to achieve happiness or something.

Heizi Tetsuya's love came too late, too late. If she hadn't done anything wrong in that year, she would have happily said to him, "Okay, okay, let's be together."

The current Hashimoto Suzune wants to atone for her sins but can’t atone for her sins. Even if she has the chance, she can’t atone for her sins. She doesn’t know what to do to make that person happy. She tried her best, but she still failed—the last person must be very sad. Yes, because of myself.

Hashimoto Suzune didn't dare to ask Heizi Tetsuya to take her to the door, but got out of the car on the street and walked slowly. Heizi asked her when she would return to Tokyo, she said she was not sure - she hoped that this person would not come back Heizi picked her up, but Heizi nodded and said, "Then I'll be here at nine o'clock, and I'll call you when the time comes. If you don't go back to Tokyo, let's talk about it."

"Well, it doesn't need to be so troublesome..." Hashimoto's heart became more and more powerless; "This kind of tossing..."

"No trouble." Heizi smiled slightly; "I feel happy, Lingyin-san don't care too much about me, you just do what you want."

Hashimoto Suzune closed the car door in frustration, she was very frustrated with herself who couldn't refuse Kuroko Tetsuya, she was disgusted with herself who was happy because of what Kuroko Tetsuya said.

Slowly suppressing the emotions in her heart, she glanced at the house number of Yukimura House that had arrived, took a few deep breaths slowly to adjust her state, then smiled and rang the doorbell——

Ten seconds later, the door was opened, Yukimura Yukio smiled very happily when he saw her again, and while stretching out his hand to pull her in, he said, "Why are you here now? My mother and I thought you were going to regret not coming!"

"My friend sent me here, so it took a little time." Hashimoto Suzune said with a smile while handing the fruit basket in his hand to Xuexu who reached out to help her; "I don't know what to bring. , I bought fruit..."

"It's true for you too, why don't you bring anything, it's fine when you're here!" Xue Xu hooked her into the living room, and Hashimoto saw a graceful woman looking at her nervously, and her eyes met At that time, the woman quickly showed a loving smile: "Lingyin, right, I am mother, welcome back."

The women called her 'りんねRinNe', maybe Xuexu reminded her specially, otherwise most of them would still call her すずねSuZuNe.

And, she said, welcome back.

Hashimoto was a little nervous, but it was relieved a lot by Yukimura's mother's gentle and kind attitude: "...It's the first time we met, I'm Seiki's wife Hashimoto Suzune... I'm very sorry that I didn't come to visit until now."

"That's not the case." Yukimura's mother said with a smile and held her hand kindly, and patted the back of her hand as if to comfort her; "What a beauty, Seiichi married such a beautiful girl, I really am So happy……"

Yukimura's mother seemed a little emotional when she said this, with tears in her eyes, which made Hashimoto feel at a loss. Seeing her mother, Yukio hurriedly said: "Mom, you are going to scare Suzune-chan!"

At the same time, an old and deep voice rang out: "What does it look like, Lingyin will not dare to come in the future!"

"No, I won't..." Hashimoto Suzune hurriedly comforted Yukimura's mother; "That... aunt..."

"Call me Mom!" Yukimura's mother, who was wiping her tears, suddenly became serious; "Since she is Seiichi's wife, I should call Mom!"

"Don't miss out the title just because my son is gone." Yukimura's father sat on the sofa and looked over; "It doesn't matter if you haven't changed your surname after getting married, you must be a good parent when you are a mother!"

There was a lot of warm and soft feeling in her chest, Hashimoto Suzune sniffed shyly and movedly, she swallowed the puff of air in her throat, and made a difficult voice: "...Mom, Dad... "

"Good boy..." Yukimura's mother held her hand tightly with red eyes, and Yukio looked at them with a smile on the side.

Yukimura's mother's cooking skills are great. Hashimoto feels that he has eaten the most delicious food in the world, and the atmosphere of Yukimura's family eating is very relaxed. Yukio is especially lively. No, it should be said that he is too lively. Was it Kise Kise who came after her? Hashimoto Suzune was so scared that she quickly explained that it wasn't Kise-kun but another friend, but Yukimura's mother said "friend?"Then what kind of friend drove from Tokyo to Kanagawa, the gas fee is so expensive! '.

Hashimoto was a little speechless for a moment, and Yukimura's mother laughed a little bit wickedly: "What kind of person? It's fine if it's worse than our Seiki. Our girls with such a good ring tone must be the best." OK!"

"...How come, I'm not very good..." Hashimoto was moved and said sincerely. At this time, Yukimura's father who had been silent all the time said: "Don't be humble, if you are not good, Seichi will also You won't fall in love with you, you should be proud of being in love with Jingshi!"

"Father, don't say such things!" Xue Xu immediately objected to his father's attitude; "Lingyin-chan will be under pressure!"

"How can this cause pressure?" Yukimura's father shook his head in disapproval; "It's a matter of course to be proud of being liked by an excellent person, or Suzune, do you think Seiki is not good enough, and being liked by him is not enough to make you Are you proud?"

"Seichi is excellent!" Hashimoto Suzune said firmly; "I am proud to be liked by him."

"Then don't say that you are not good." Yukimura's mother looked at her tenderly; "In my opinion, she is the best girl in the world who is willing to accept Seichi's bell tone!"

Yukimura's mother said this, but Hashimoto Suzune was even more embarrassed.

Hashimoto Suzune bit her lip, and finally stood up suddenly and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry."

This sudden situation stunned several members of Yukimura's family.

Hashimoto Suzune continued to apologize in a bowed posture: "I'm very sorry."

"...What are you doing, Lingyin-chan!" Xue Xu also left her seat. She walked up to Lingyin and tried to help her straighten up, but Hashimoto Lingyin refused to stand up straight. Bowing and saying: "...I did too much to Jingshi...I'm really, not a good person..."

Yukimura's mother looked at Hashimoto Suzune who was bending over in amazement, and Yukimura's father's expression also became difficult for a moment: "What do you mean by that?"

Ever since Yukimura Seiichi told them that he wanted to marry Hashimoto Suzune as his wife, and was strongly opposed by them at that time, Yukimura Seiichi left home and never came back. He only called occasionally to explain his situation. On the phone, Yukimura Seichi told Hashimoto Suzune that all he would talk about was the trivial life of the two of them after marriage. After Seiki and Suzune went to New York, Yukimura and his wife both talked about Suzune. It was learned from their daughters—then they also knew about Lingyin’s life experience, and finally slowly accepted Lingyin enough, and even... because they knew that their son used disgraceful means to marry Lingyin, For this girl, they all felt guilty.

Now, Hashimoto Suzune said that she did too much to their son - this made Yukimura and his wife have to guess, could it be that after Seiki was completely paralyzed, Hashimoto Suzune... abused him! ?

Yukimura's mother stood up suddenly with red eyes. She walked up to Hashimoto Suzune a few steps, and grabbed Hashimoto Suzune's arms with both hands. The strength was so strong that Hashimoto Suzune hurt, but Hashimoto Suzune didn't care at all. Struggling, just let Yukimura's mother grab it, and listen to Yukimura's mother asking anxiously: "You, what did you do to Seichi?"

Hashimoto Suzune didn't dare to look up at Yukimura's mother at all, she bit the corner of her mouth, and said guiltily and sadly: "...When Seichi left, he asked me if I fell in love with him..."

Yukimura's mother's grip on Hashimoto's arm paused for a moment, the mother realized something, and then the strength of her hands completely loosened.

Yukimura Yukio opened her mouth slightly, suddenly she wanted to cry.

"...I, did you tell me?" Hashimoto Suzune put her hands on her side and grasped her skirt; "I failed to make him happy, obviously he was his wife...but I kept letting him live In pain... I did the cruelest thing to Jingshi..."

She woke up very early that day, unexpectedly, Jingshi was earlier than her.

"Sleep again?" After looking at the wall clock on the wall, she felt that it was only past six o'clock and woke up too early, so she wanted him to continue to sleep.

But Jingshi shook his head. Acute radiculitis has developed to the present, and he already needs to rely on the oxygen tube to be introduced directly from the nasal cavity to ensure breathing... The doctor said that this is necessary to prevent sudden damage to the respiratory muscles.

"But it's still early." She comforted him with a smile, and approached him with a bit of coquettishness; "It's so early, the nurse won't come for a routine checkup, didn't she say that she couldn't sleep well yesterday?"

"...I don't want to sleep anymore." As he said this, he still looked at her with nostalgia, his eyes were too gentle, which made Hashimoto Suzune feel guilty and distressed, so he stopped trying to persuade him, but held his hand tightly. Hand: "Okay, I'll get a towel and wipe your face..."

"No need." His voice was gentle and weak, he could no longer hold her hand, he could only feel her strength; "No rush."

"...I found that you are getting more and more dirty..." After lying on the bed, Yukimura really became more and more lazy, Hashimoto Suzune complained but really didn't move anymore, but sat obediently Watch him there.

Yukimura smiled slightly, and those iris-colored eyes looked at her tenderly: "...It's fine if you don't dislike me."

"No wife would dislike her husband." Hashimoto could only say this with a helpless smile, Yukimura Seiichi's eyes became softer, and after listening to her words, there was a feeling of tranquility and fatigue in his smile: "...So, after being my wife for so many years, have you... fallen in love with me?"

Hashimoto Suzune's smile suddenly froze.

She looked at him with some hesitation, like a child who had done something wrong, and looked at him desperately, as if expecting him to forgive.

Yukimura Seiichi's eyes showed a lot of helplessness in his tenderness: "...a little bit, not at all?"

Hashimoto Suzune's heart was full of sourness, she didn't want to lie to this person, let alone to herself - but such a self, naturally hurt Yukimura Seichi very much...

But now, Yukimura Seichi comforted her instead: "It's okay, it's okay... Well, in fact, maybe this is the best, if Suzune doesn't fall in love with me, I won't be too sad after I leave ……fair enough……"

"It will still be sad..." Compared with the comparison, Hashimoto Suzune thinks it is more appropriate to say this; "Seiki City is also very important to me."

Facing her who said that, Yukimura Seiichi just smiled faintly, but Hashimoto could tell that Seiichi's eyes were blushing.

——Seichi wanted to cry... Hashimoto Suzune was definitely aware of this.

"It's true." Hashimoto Suzune didn't want to make him sad, she held his palm tightly with both hands; "Jingshi is more important to me than anyone else, and marrying Jingshi is my happiest decision!"

He just looked at her quietly, smiled, and closed his eyes——

The heart rate monitor issued a piercing alarm——

At 21:23 on June [-], Jingshi was rescued in the intensive care unit.

At 21:[-] on June [-], Jingshi was declared dead.

Hashimoto Suzune felt that she might also have died at that time.

In a daze, she heard the doctor say about the organ donation that Jingshi had signed before her death. She looked at the recipient's information in a trance, and signed the document with a blank mind.

She only remembers one thing.

——She failed to let Jingshi leave this world happily and contentedly.

——Why, myself, failed to fall in love with him?

——Hashimoto Suzune is the cruelest person in the world. ?
