From the next day, the two of them trained in the Tri-Services Gymnasium after school, and then went home together, and M Ji also became a place where the two often go, except for the Tri-Services Gymnasium, which was the second stronghold of the two people.

During this time, Jing Tao often complained to Qingfeng, "Ah Da, you haven't been home with me recently, and you can't see your figure all the time, really!" Aomine would tell her every time, "Recently, I have to practice after school." But he never told Momoi who he was training with. Jing Tao knew that Aomine had liked basketball since he was a child, so he went with him and didn't ask too much.

As the time spent together, the deeper the communication, the more Kuroko felt that there were too many opposite places between him and Aomine, and according to common sense, it should be impossible to get along so well, let alone become good friends. But things are so peculiar, and the opposite personality and hobbies do not affect their friendship. Kuroko sometimes wonders, maybe it's because they have something in common: basketball. Every time Kuroko sees Aomine's actions and figures playing basketball, he becomes more and more impressed by Aomine, and looks forward to being able to stand on the court and play basketball with Aomine, for this reason, Kuroko is working harder and harder on his current training, although there is little progress.

At a certain moment, looking at Aomine's figure playing, Kuroko couldn't help but flash a thought: If he played basketball before to fulfill the agreement with Hagiwara-kun, then he really liked basketball because of Aomine-kun, because he made himself discover that basketball can make people so happy, and no longer feel lonely.

Every time Aomine rests, he feels extremely excited when he sees Kuroko practicing basketball hard, and his whole body seems to be full of energy. Although he has loved playing basketball since he was a child, this feeling is only felt when he meets someone of comparable ability, and Kuroko's basketball ability is weak. Maybe it's because of Kuroko's serious and persistent attitude towards basketball, Aomine always feels that playing basketball with Kuroko is a kind of enjoyment, as if the moment he meets Kuroko, playing basketball is no longer a simple liking, and it seems to bring some different feelings.

Time gradually passed as the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, until after another promotion test, the coach of the three armies found Kuroko and said directly to Kuroko: "You apply for resignation!" "

Kuroko couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

The coach didn't stop, but continued: "Maybe you're not good at basketball, and even though you're working hard, you're relieving in the rankings. Although it is not mandatory for you to quit the company, I hope you will think about it and not waste your time. "

Kuroko didn't speak, but walked out of the office with a decadent look and a resignation application.

Kuroko looked at the withdrawal application form in his hand, thought of what the coach said, and couldn't help but lean on the electric pole on the side of the road and cry bitterly. Kuroko understands that quitting the basketball club means: he can't complete the agreement with Hagiwara-kun, and it is impossible to basketball with Aomine-kun again. His heart was extremely hesitant: although he didn't want to admit it, he was really not suitable for playing basketball, and he had trained with Aomine-kun for so long, but he had not made the slightest progress. Then I thought: Aomine-kun once bumped his fist with himself and said "I want to play basketball together", but the results of this promotion test and the performance of the classmates discussing the duel between Aomine-kun and Inoue in the corridor realized that the distance between him and Aomine-kun was too far, and now I can't catch up with Aomine-kun's footsteps at all.

"But even so, I still don't want to give up!" Kuroko muttered with tears in her eyes closed.

Soon it was time for the agreed training, and Kuroko walked to the door of the Tri-Services Gymnasium in his school uniform and schoolbag, and saw Aomine who was concentrating on practicing inside. Although I wanted to escape, I walked in anyway, because sooner or later I had to face it. Aomine, who was in the Three Services Gymnasium, was particularly happy today, because in the afternoon in the locker room, I heard Akaji say that there was a promotion test today, and a few people had entered the first army, thinking that Kuroko had also participated in the test, so I could ask him about the results, and by the way, tell him about the game I played with Inoue today. So Qingfeng changed his clothes and couldn't wait to get to the Sanjun Gymnasium, but the sunspots, who had always arrived early, had not arrived today, and Qingfeng felt a little strange, and when he practiced, he always looked at the door from time to time.

As soon as he saw Kuroko coming in, Aomine ran over with a smile and shouted, "Ah Zhe, it's really slow today!" ”

Aomine stopped in front of Kuroko, looking at Kuroko who was decadent and wearing a school uniform, and couldn't help but have a bad premonition, so the original smile on his face disappeared, but guessed that Kuroko probably just didn't pass the promotion test, and he was a little discouraged. Just opened his mouth to comfort: "Ah Zhe, you ......"

Kuroko suddenly interrupted Qingfeng's words, and said in frustration: "I want to retire from the basketball club, although I like basketball very much, but I have been in the department for half a year, but I still haven't entered the second army, what may not be suitable for the end, after all, there is no way, and in this Diguang basketball club, I am really unlikely to make any contribution to the team, and I can't help the team." ”

Aomine chuckled inwardly when he heard this, but he knew that he couldn't let Kuroko give up basketball, because after getting along with him during this time, he found that Kuroko really liked basketball, and he wanted to continue to play basketball with Kuroko, even if it was just training. So he looked at the listless teenager in front of him and said seriously: "There are no players in the team who are not needed!" Kuroko looked up at Aomine in surprise.

Aomine continued to say seriously: "Even if you can't play, how can you say that you are useless to the team if you train later than anyone else!" I can't say that if you don't give up, you'll get anything, but if you give up, you'll have nothing! ”

Kuroko was so shocked by Aomine's last sentence "If you give up, there will be nothing", she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she could only stare at Aomine tightly, and she couldn't help but start thinking in her heart, did she really want to give up her agreement with Hagiwara-kun? Give up playing basketball with Aomine-kun?

Aomine looked at the thin boy in front of him, looked at the struggle in Kuroko's blue eyes, and felt a trace of distress cross his heart. Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.
