Chapter 40: Mutual Praise

"I'm back!"

A familiar voice drifted through the hallway and into the living room.

In the living room, the girl moved when she heard the sound, jumped out like a rabbit, and popped out of her head, and then a refreshing and cheerful voice sounded.

"Brother! Brother! Did you win today's game? ”

The girl asked, taking the package from her brother's hand.

Akagi Gangxian put his shoes in order, raised his head and saw his noisy sister Haruko Akagi, and inexplicably remembered that Fuji Shin was also coming.

"Well, won." Akagi replied with a shallow, confident smile.

"Really?" Haruko was so excited that she couldn't believe it, and she was shocked, "Great! It's really great! ”

Recalling Akagi Gangxian's game experience and experience in the past few years, the pictures passed through his mind one by one, as well as his depressed expression afterwards, which is nothing more than an interpretation of the past with the word defeat, and today, victory finally knocked on his door.

As a younger sister, Haruko can almost empathize with Akagi Gangxian, and before she knows it, her eyes moistened, and then her tears slipped down one by one like pearls with broken threads.

"Brother, congratulations." Haruko cried with joy and hugged Akagi Gangxian, and the deep emotion infected Akagi Gangxian couldn't help but redden.

"Haruko......"

patted Haruko on the back, Akagi Tsuyoshi pulled her into the living room sofa and sat down, and after Haruko's emotions calmed down, she was pestered by her again and began to talk about the details of today's game.

Akagi Gangken is not a good storyteller, it is not easy to tell the process concisely, and now that Haruko wants to listen to the details, he suddenly becomes stumbling, no matter how good Akagi's grades are, he can't think of what kind of words to use to describe all kinds of scenes and pictures beautifully and without bias.

Just as Akagi stumbled and stumbled, the phone in the living room rang, and in order to give her brother time to rest and organize her language, Haruko took the initiative to jump up from the sofa and trot to the phone with cheerful steps.

With Akagi's temper, when others asked him about the specific situation of the game, he mostly said that the players performed their duties, cooperated tacitly, and persevered together until the end so they won. If you have to write one, two, three, four, or five like writing, I really feel embarrassed.

Looking at Haruko's back, Akagi let out a long sigh of relief. It's just that he wasn't alert at all, who was the person who called his home at this time?

"Fuji senior!" Haruko, who was on the phone, was surprised. She looked up at the time, the time seemed to be almost two o'clock in the afternoon, especially the game had just ended, and she called at this time, which was really a novel event.

On the other end of the phone, Fuji Xin was also wearing a school uniform, with a backpack on his body, standing in a phone booth on the side of the road, the sun was hanging high, today the white clouds were pitiful, the sky was blue, and the expression on Fuji's face next to the microphone was becoming more and more brilliant.

Fuji, who had just picked up the phone, pinched a cold sweat in his heart, for fear that it was Akagi Gangxian who answered the phone, and he was also afraid that Akagi Gangxian would hang up his phone directly. Fortunately, it was Haruko who answered the phone.

With a long sigh of relief, Fuji laughed over the phone: "Haha, Haruko, it's really a pity that you didn't go to watch the game today, under the leadership of Uncle Ben, Xiangbei successfully defeated Lingnan!" ”

From Fuji's unserious tone, it is not difficult to hear this guy's joy and getting carried away, or maybe he has been contaminated with the habits of Zhongji after coming to this world.

"yes, it's a shame, I really want to watch the game live. But I was talking to my brother just now! Haruko's tone was full of regret, her brother couldn't go to the scene to cheer for her brother in such an important game, and Haruko even blamed herself.

Fuji could hear Haruko's emotions, and immediately expressed his understanding that Haruko couldn't be there because of school matters, and actively relieved: "No, it's okay Haruko, just come to the scene for next week's game." I promise, with me in Xiangbei, I will still win. ”

"Uh-huh, I'll definitely be there to cheer you on."

Haruko's gentle voice lingered in Fuji's ears, like a magic sound that was addictive, passing through the eardrum and kneading the heart, and the heart palpitated.

The other end of the phone was suddenly quiet for a long time, so silent that only the ups and downs of breathing sounded in her ears, Haruko hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Fuji senior, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, no, maybe I won my first official game, so I'm so happy."

When Haruko heard this, she snorted, and seemed to remember something, and then asked: "Senior, listen to your tone, today's victory is thanks to you, isn't my brother acting badly?" ”

There was no tone of concern and disappointment at all, but a sense of playfulness and unconvincing.

That's right, just not convinced! For a long time, her brother has been the whole basketball world that Haruko knows, and perhaps, the appearance of that person has broken the balance of this world, but her brother Akagi Goken is still a crucial basketball hero in her mind.

How could a player like her brother be inactive and silent in a game? Even, with her trust in her brother, her brother is the key to leading the game to victory! After all, even if he is a genius, he is only a first-year student who has been exposed to basketball for more than a month and participated in an official competition for the first time.

I can hear the pride in the little girl's tone, the kind of pride just because Akagi Goken is my brother. He quietly tampered with what he had just said, and said in a flattering tone: "Of course, Akagi-senpai's performance today is too good, especially when he fights against the opponent's two-hundred-centimeter-tall center, it's like a god descending from ......."

In order to brush a good impression in the little girl's heart, she didn't want to be cheeky, and she was embarrassed to brag about herself, so she praised Chimu Gangxian vigorously, and desperately praised her future brother-in-law, and her eight-point performance was blown into twelve.

This burst of blowing made Akagi Haruko laugh, and her fair face was also stained with a layer of pink, listening to the fierce praise of her brother on the other end of the phone, Akagi Haruko finally couldn't help but say: "The predecessors are becoming more and more immodest now, and they are becoming more and more flamboyant." ”

"Wronged!" Fuji immediately cried out miserably.

"Haruko, whose phone is it?"

A rough and heavy voice came out of the earpiece, and it was so familiar that Fuji almost immediately knew that it was Akagi Goken's voice.

Haruko left for a long time, and Akagi Gangken had been brewing in the living room for a long time, but seeing that the girl hadn't come back yet, she finally couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Brother, it's the same senior!"

"Shinya?" Akagi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "This kid is home?" ”

After finishing the ward with her brother, Haruko chatted with Fuji for a while, and several times Haruko had the meaning of hanging, and was entangled by Fuji to talk about the game, so he kept organizing the morning game with Fuji's own words, decorating the words, and telling Haruko everything.

Haruko answered the phone for almost half an hour before returning to the sofa, and the time made Akagi suspicious, the two of them hadn't met a few times, how could they talk for so long?

"What is that kid calling for?"

Different from Akagi Goken's serious expression, Haruko replied with an optimistic smile on her face, "Fuji senior, I've been praising my brother just now!" I'm embarrassed to hear it. ”

Akagi Gangxian pursed his lips, "That kid still praises others?" ”

"Really, really, brother, the second senior has been praising you from the beginning to the end of the game!" Haruko hurriedly proved.

Akagi Goken felt slightly better when he heard this, but soon there was something strange again. From the beginning of the game to the end of the game, this short sentence made Akagi Gangxian blush, strange and embarrassed, and listen to this meaning, this kid and Haruko talked about the game again!

"You asked him about the game?" Akagi asked with a rare red face.

Haruko smiled: "Yes! I told a story for half an hour! I feel like my mouth is dry when I hear it! ”

Hearing this, Akagi breathed a sigh of relief, and the messy draft in his stomach seemed to be useless, and he was relieved, thanks to this, no matter how he described the game with Haruko, at least Haruko now doesn't pestering himself to tell stories about the game.

"I'm going to take a shower." Akagi got up to leave, walked to the staircase and paused, remembering the conversation with Fuji when he parted today, and suddenly said, "If that kid calls again, you tell him, I said he behaved well today." ”

It's like telling a story, it's really not easy to let Akagi praise someone in a big way, so he said to Haruko like this to indirectly praise people in circles.

With that, Haruko turned around and went up the stairs, leaving Haruko in the living room.

"These two people even praised each other."
