It was a meeting that had been separated by almost half a year. Although there is still a connection between them, the relationship between them is indeed slowly estranged because of the different schools they are in. And this is also a very normal thing in interpersonal relationships, people who used to be in the same social circle and are now in different social circles will eventually become more and more distant because of the fewer and fewer intersection points with each other, and eventually become familiar but now strange existence.

Among the former members of the women's basketball team, only Hinata, Hakamata Hinata, is still in touch with him—and the connection is not very close. It feels like a little girl who pays attention to friendship very carefully, trying her best to carefully care for this fragile bond that gradually thins over time, and is reluctant to abandon it.

However, from kindergarten to now, from kindergarten to now, who is still friends and maintains close contact? If you have one or two, you'll be glad for it. If You and Tsunayoshi and others hadn't had such a cordial relationship and persevered, now, it may also be called a former friend who nodded to each other and passed by. And Peng Ye, who felt that they had betrayed his child for almost three years of cold war, if it wasn't for You to redeem it, maybe he would also become a former friend and a passerby now. He may follow his alcoholic father, who has lost almost everything but him, to an ordinary small town where he meets new people and things, and lives a very different life than he is now in Katsuragi's house. And whether that kind of life is happy or painful, it is unknown, but now the life of the friend, although he does not dare to pack the ticket for the happiness of the friend, but, at least, the current friend is also happy.

Therefore, after considering many considerations, I especially think that this meeting will be strange and distant, so it will not be a touching reunion. You are more like an outsider to solve the problems of Hakamata Hinata who has encountered difficulties in his circle. It's a cold statement, but it's true. A person's life is originally a constant encounter and separation, and when they meet, they are fate, and when they are separated, they are fate. There are people who have been standing by your side since you were a child and have been with you, but there are many more people who have been with you but have left because of a different path. If we meet after many years, we can still say each other's names and talk about interesting things that happened in the past, which is not in vain.

It is inevitable to regret these impossible things, but everyone's energy is limited, and no one can keep everyone around them. But he has the ability to leave someone who is very important to him.,Just like Yu.,He's been trying to keep Long'er and other companions who have been together in kindergarten.,But now it's not inevitable to lose Harusaki Chiwa.、Fuyumi Aii.、Keitado Ruita and Ayukawa Tenri.。 And the two siblings are still struggling to maintain contact with them overseas.

Geographical location and means of communication have always been the key to restricting the maintenance of interpersonal relationships. Harumaki Chiwa, Fuyumi Ai, Ji Tang Ruita, and Ayukawa Tenri were still relatively positive in the letters within a year or two after they moved and left, but they became less and less in the future, and there is no contact now. Only Kittyhawk, a fierce and kind-hearted guy with a tendon, can still persist so much even overseas, and it is precisely because of Kitty Hawk that You and the others can continue to keep in touch with him, and it is precisely because Kitty Hawk is so persistent in wanting to maintain this bond that You has the idea of bringing Kitty back as soon as possible.

You know, you can make people who have been used to these things and see through life especially have such thoughts

Time is always the most terrible enemy, even the little sister Ayukawa Tenri, who used to be arguably the closest neighbor, has no news, so how long can Kitty last like this?

Thinking of this, You's heart couldn't help but be a little more eager. It seems that we need to find time to go overseas as soon as possible. If you really can't find the time, then wait until after the summer vacation.

However, when You saw the girl sitting motionless on Chiaki with her head slightly lowered in the dusk, all those annoying thoughts in You's mind disappeared.

No matter what kind of meeting this is, it doesn't matter if you face it, and the worry of smoothing her brow for the girl in front of you is the purpose of her trip.

"Yo. Good afternoon, little Hinata. Gently wrapping around behind Hakamata Hinata, You suddenly spoke up, startling Hakamata Hinata who was contemplating something and didn't notice the shadow behind her.

"Babble!!" Its voice,It's still so soft and glutinous.,But compared to the past to give people a cute and silly feeling.,Now it's more feminine.,Of course,Especially here's the 'femininity' doesn't refer to the kind of femininity of those mature women.,But it means that the current Hakamata Hinata no longer gives people a feeling of being a child as before.。

People always grow up with the passage of time. Although this is a simple and inevitable fact, every time I see a person growing, I always feel emotional.

"Hey, yes, it's You Jun, wait, You Jun, what are you going to do?" Turning his head and finding that it was Yu who appeared behind him, Hakamata Hinata didn't have time to complain a few words to Yu, who greeted him like this, and saw Yu grab the rope of the swing with both hands, and then quickly wrapped it on it, and with Yu's action, Hakamata Hinata also rotated with the cross winding of the rope.

When I heard Hakamata Hinata call for herself, I realized that the other party was just like herself, and in order not to make each other look raw, she still used to call each other before.

However, even if Hakamata Hinata still calls herself like this, it can't change what you want to do at this time.

Under Hinata's small flustered gaze, Yu let go of the tightly entangled swing rope.

"Huh~~" Then, in the delicate mournful sound of Hakamata Hinata, as the rope was untied, Hakamata Hinata quickly rotated in place along with the swing board.

After turning like this for a while, the speed of the swing rotation slowed down, and as soon as the swing slowed down, Hakamata Hinata couldn't wait to get out of the swing, but after the previous rotation, everything in front of Hakamata Hinata at this time can be described as a whirlwind. He staggered to his feet, staggering as if he was going to fall at any moment.

To prevent such a thing from happening, Yu reached out and grabbed Hinata Hakamata and pulled her towards herself, allowing her to lean on herself to get through the time of being dizzy.

"Sorry, it looks like I've gone a little too far."

"Stupid, stupid You Jun"

"I'm sorry, but I've changed my mood a little." Looking at Hakamata Hinata in front of him, You found that Hakamata Hinata had really grown a lot taller, of course, this is because You has not grown much taller in the past three years, and now his height is 178, and three years ago, that is, compared with 172, which he has risen by leaps and bounds, You has only grown 6 cm in three years. And obviously, the growth range of Hakamata Hinata is about to exceed the growth range of Yu. That's why you feel that Hakamata Hinata has really grown a lot taller. However, even though he has grown a lot taller, it has not exceeded 145 by visual inspection.

And this is probably the source of Hakamata Hinata's troubles. After all, her competitors are all girls with a height of more than 155, and in the case that Hakamata Hinata does not have an absolute advantage in a certain field, under comprehensive conditions, it is not difficult to understand why Hakamata Hinata will be defeated. And this,It's just in terms of the internal competition of Huixin School Park,Outside,The height of the official players of many sports schools is 160、Or even 165 or more。

Therefore, Hinata's defeat seems to be inevitable. Whether it is internal or external issues, the coach is not confident that Hakamata Hinata will be in his lineup, because if she dares to do so, Hakamata Hinata will definitely be regarded as an offensive breakthrough. If this causes a psychological burden or even a shadow, it will not do Hakamata Hinata any good.

Of course, these are just speculations made by You, and it is unknown whether the coach really thinks as You thinks, but as long as he is a normal teacher, he will not harm his students.

"You were frowning like an old woman."

Hearing You's words, Hakamata Hinata couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then puffed out her cheeks, stepped on You's feet a little angrily, and said, "People don't look like old women!" ”

"Yes, how can such a beautiful and lovely little Hinata be an old woman, just a metaphor to describe your sad face."

"How do you feel that your kind and detailed explanation is like talking to a child." I don't know if it's because You said she was pretty and cute and shy, or if she was angry when she said she frowned like an old woman, and her cheeks flushed, Hinata, put her hand on You's abdomen, and took a few steps back with a slight force, her hands behind her back, and her eyes looked You up and down.

"Although we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, I haven't changed much." Looking at Hakamata Hinata looking at herself, You smiled slightly and said.

"You Jun, you've lost weight."

"Well, after all, I have been lying in the hospital for a few months."

"There's nothing wrong with your body."

"As you can see now, I'm in good health right now." With that, You walked to another swing, sat down, and said, "Then, this is the end of the long-lost greeting, and next, let's talk about the main topic this time." After speaking, You patted the swing next to him that Hakamata Hinata was sitting on before, and motioned for her to sit down.

"Hmm." Nodding, Hakamata Hinata responded, walked to the swing and sat down very obediently, kicked his feet a little uneasily, looked at You, and said, "You Jun, you won't do pranks again." ”

"Of course not, so, tell me, what do you think?" After saying that he would not do any more pranks, Yu began to guide Hakamata Hinata to speak his mind.

How do you think about the fact that she was defeated, how do you think about the fact that she can no longer fight on the court with Ellie and others, how do you think of the sport of basketball, and what kind of existence does basketball have for her. In short, Yu asked Hakamata Hinata many questions.

And Hakamata Hinata is also under the guidance of You consciously, as she answers more and more questions, You becomes more and more aware that the things that Hakamada Hinata is worried about are actually very simple, but she has drilled the horns herself.
