"Suzu, you say chic. What exactly does that mean.? ”

After school that afternoon, after seeing Sakakihara Le be the first to leave the classroom, Tianhai Jiu Ruri immediately grabbed Sakakihara Suzu who wanted to escape, and wanted to ask what was going on.

"Suzu-chan will see you tomorrow~"

"Uh-huh, see you tomorrow~~"

After saying goodbye to several female classmates in her class, Suzu Sakakihara turned around at the door of the classroom. The red bow with the white shirt on the upper body of Tianhai Jiu Liuli is particularly conspicuous.

"Huh?" Looking down, Sakakihara Suzu stared at the size that couldn't be concealed at all, frowning.

Sure enough, summer is the most annoying.

"What's wrong?" Tianhai Jiu Liuli only felt weird, and looked at his body, "What's strange about me?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I almost recognized Sister Liuli as Sister July."

"We've all been together for so long, will we still admit our mistakes?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli had a puzzled face, she hesitated for a while, suddenly remembered what she had just said, and hurriedly changed the topic:

"Heck, it's useless not to say this. What do you mean by 'chic' at noon? I saw that you were still stumbling at noon, as if you couldn't say anything, and I was curious all afternoon. ”

Sakakihara Suzu waved her hand absently, and her short green hair fluttered slightly on her shoulders:

"Oh, yes, Sister Liuli, we'll find him after we'll finish practicing later."

Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't wait, she always felt that this so-called 'chic' was not a good thing.

She took a step forward: "Why wait until you finish practice? You can talk to Yuki about the delay by half an hour. ”

Sakakihara Suzu was forced to step back, put her hands on her chest, and looked resistant, and said with a reluctant smile:

"Sister Liu, Sister Liuli, don't worry, the reason why you don't go now is because it's the wrong time, and you can't see anything if you go. We'll have to wait until the club is over. ”

"The timing is wrong? Want to go and see it after the club event? ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't figure it out, but felt that the uneasiness in his heart was getting heavier and heavier.

Sakakihara Suzu noticed her expression, and felt that Sister Ruri still cared about her brother.

Although she is still angry with her brother.

Suzu Sakakihara gestured an arrow with the index finger of both hands, pointed to the corridor on the right side of her chest, and looked up and said:

"Sister Liuli, we'll . Let's go to practice first.,Brother's business is not in a hurry.,And Yuki can work hard every day now.,She just went to the toilet.,Now it's estimated that she will go directly to the playground.,It's not good to put her pigeons.。 ”

"Okay." Tianhai Jiuliuli could only calm down and nodded, "If this matter is not resolved in July, our basketball game will not be easy to do. There were only three of them. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, the official start of the sports festival is still after the end of the term, and there are still two weeks left."

*

In today's practice, Tianhai Jiuliuli was a little absent-minded.

The main thing is that I am very concerned about the situation of Qimingyue

Although everyone is still in the same class, July's current seat has been moved directly to the far right of the classroom, which happens to be the farthest away from Sakakihara Raku, who is by the window.

A few days ago, Lejun would greet July and say hello to July when he saw him.

But now?

When the two meet at school, they are like strangers, and neither of them will look at each other.

It is very appropriate to use "like strangers" to describe the current relationship between the two.

"Snow!"

Tianhai Jiuliuli ran across the line with sweat and threw the ball to the snow of Tianhai on the other end.

After a week of training, she can be regarded as a small achievement.

After receiving the basketball she tossed, she stood intently outside the three-point line, her eyes on the basket.

She bent her knees hard and then jumped straight up and threw the ball.

As expected. Didn't go in, and the basketball barely grazed the edge of the hoop.

"It's a pity"

The sweaty Tianhai Jiuliuli stopped.

Yuki's trajectory is good, but the force is a little less and the angle is a little crooked.

Although in terms of the level of competition, her strength is far from enough.

It's pretty good that you can do this with basketball in just one week.

"Yuki still wants to practice?"

Sakakiwara Suzu walked over drinking the ice water she had just bought, and as soon as she got closer, she saw Amami no Yuki, who was wearing a white sweatshirt, picking up the ball again and coming back with a serious face.

"Sister Ruri."

"No, I don't need to, Yuki will practice by herself first."

Tianhai Jiuliuli crossed his waist with one hand, shook his head at the snow of Tianhai, and his delicate neck was covered with powder.

She gasped slightly, stared at the snow of the sky and the sea who was still practicing laziness, and replied to Suzu Sakakihara who had just come to her side:

"It's been like this in the snow lately, and it feels like she's practicing harder than any of us."

"Sister Liuli knows, why not?"

"I don't know, Xue just said she wanted to win a championship."

"Well, I don't think the championship means much to Yuki."

Sakakihara Suzu thought about it, couldn't figure it out, and looked at the side face of Tianhai Jiu Ruri's sweat-stained hair, "Forget it, I don't want to." Sister Liuli still practices? It's half an hour before the club is over. ”

As soon as she reminded her, Tianhai Jiuliuli immediately nodded.

She said hello to Amami no Yuki, and then followed Suzu Sakakihara out of the playground.

The two first went to the washbasin to wash their faces, then went to the locker room to change back into regular school uniforms, and when these actions were completed, they followed Suzu Sakakihara and sneaked to the gymnasium.

"How did you get here?" Tianhai Jiu Ruri, who was following Sakakihara Suzu, asked, and the two had just arrived at the back door corridor of the gymnasium.

"Look at the dashing old man."

"Come to the gym?"

"Or else?"

Sakakihara Suzu's expression suddenly became strange when she looked at Tianhai Jiu Ruri, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Hmm~ Sister Ruri won't think that my brother is running to that kind of custom shop behind our back, right?" I think he's because you've been away for too long, you can't bear the loneliness, and you go to that kind of place in a chic and chic way. ”

"What's the matter," Tianhai Jiu Liuli didn't waver at all, "No matter how you say it, Le Jun won't do such an excessive thing. Although the previous thing was very excessive. ”

"What did Sister Liuli guess before, alas, forget it, it's not interesting to guess, anyway, Sister Liuli, you can see it right away."

"What do you see?" Tianhai Jiuliuli still couldn't help but be curious.

"Anyway. Sister Liuli, you will be 100% angry. ”

With curiosity, he followed Suzu Sakakihara into the gymnasium through the back door.

The two first came to the back of the spectator seat, which is similar to the basketball hall at the game site, and the spectator seat gradually rises from the front to the back.

The two of them stood at the highest place, looking at the large sports field in the middle.

Suzu Sakakihara pointed in the direction, "Well, my brother is playing basketball right there." ”

Tianhai Jiu Ruri took a look at the situation, and sure enough, he saw Sakakihara in the No. 8 jersey playing against a bunch of boys from other classes.

These basketball players Tianhai Jiuliuli also know, the people in the basketball club and several third-grade seniors.

It looked like Lejun was playing against Yoshiyuki Fujino and several third-year ministers against the basketball club.

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at it for a while, and it was even more strange:

"This is a very ordinary basketball game, Lejun is still playing very well, what is this?"

"Hehe, Sister Liuli just keep looking down."

"Okay."

The boys' basketball game does seem to have more power, and these boys who play basketball are also tall and athletic.

Tianhai Jiururi observed Sakakihara Le, who was a forward on the court, and watched him take the ball from his teammates, connect the three of them at a breakneck speed, rush to the outside of the three-point line and stop and turn, immediately bent his knees, jumped up like a cloud and shot instantly.

The basketball makes a perfect arc in the air.

Eyes on and off the court were focused on the basketball, watching it fall into the hoop.

"That's amazing."

Tianhai Jiuliuli subconsciously sighed, but then realized that something was wrong.

Because she was not the only one who cheered, but also the spectators sitting outside the basketball game.

And those spectators — mostly girls.

It just so happened that after Sakakihara Le's ball was thrown, it was time for halftime.

Tianhai Jiu Ruri saw with his own eyes that among those girls, some people came over to bring water to Sakakihara Le, and said something to him with a smile, and Sakakihara Le also responded with a smile.

Sakakihara also took the water they sent and drank it unceremoniously.

This, what is this?

Tianhai Jiu Ruri immediately frowned, looked at Sakakihara Suzu who was with his hands in his pockets beside him, and asked:

"Those people are fans of Lejun?"

"The ingredients are complicated," Sakakihara Suzutan said, "both as a fan of the old brother as the bassist of the band, and as a fan of the old brother as a basketball player. But in short, it's my brother's little fan sister. ”

"Suzu, you found out a few days ago, why didn't you stop him?" Tianhai Jiuliuli's tone was obviously a lot more anxious.

"I stopped it, but it didn't work. My brother told me that other girls came to bring him water and gifts so enthusiastically, and he was embarrassed to refuse. ”

“.”

Tianhai Jiuliuli was dumbfounded.

Looking at Sakakihara who was surrounded by several girls outside the basketball court and was still talking and laughing with them, Tianhai Jiu Liuli was even more dumbfounded.

What is this.?

Sakakihara Suzu said helplessly:

"In the last few days, my brother hasn't cooked much, and if he drives his sports car outside every day, I don't know what he's going to do."

"No, I'm going down."

"Then Sister Liuli, don't say that I brought you here later!"

By the time Suzu Sakakihara shouted these words, Amami Kururi had already walked to the middle of the audience and reached the basketball court.

"Sure enough, I'm angry."

Suzu Sakakihara bent down and propped her elbows on the back of the spectator seats, looking at Sakakihara Raku surrounded by warblers and swallows on the basketball court.

She didn't know why, and now she couldn't get angry at this kind of scene.

*

"Sakakihara-kun's ball just now is too handsome."

"Yes, yes, three people in a row!"

"Haha, I hate it, Miyashita, your stupid actions have come out again."

Sakakihara responded with a smile to the banter of the little girls in front of him, and inexplicably felt the resentful eyes from the other boys behind him.

Actually, there's nothing to complain about, just chat with a few female classmates.

Until, Sakakihara Le looked through the eyes behind a few people and saw Tianhai Jiu Liuli coming over violently.

Tianhai Jiuliuli is naturally full of aura.

In school, everyone knew the identity of her Sakakihara Le's girlfriend, so after those girls found Tianhai Jiu Ruri leaning over, they hurriedly apologized to Sakakihara and quickly stepped back.

Facing the nine glasses of the heavenly sea that came to him, Sakakihara took the water sent by the other girls and said hello very ordinarily:

"Good afternoon, Tianhai Jiuliuli."

"Come with me first."

Tianhai Jiu Ruri's expression was a little dissatisfied, and without saying a word, he took Sakakihara Le and walked towards the place where there was no one and took him to the outside of the gymnasium.

"Deliberately?" Tianhai Jiuliuli was the first to ask, frowning her eyebrows, as if she had breath in her mouth.

"What deliberately?" Sakakihara didn't know why, so he asked rhetorically.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli pointed to the drink in his hand.

"Ah, this, someone gave it to me."

"Why do you want to take it?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, Lejun, why do you want to take it?"

"When someone else gives a gift, I accept it. Normal, right? ”

Sakakihara Le saw the angry appearance of Tianhai Jiu Ruri, not that he didn't know what she was thinking, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Ruri, I didn't do anything weird." I just accepted a bottle of drink from them and chatted with them for a while, after all, they were fans and classmates from the same school. ”

"Doesn't Le Jun know that accepting gifts from other girls means that he has a good impression of the other party?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Of course! In this world, how can there be a reason to accept gifts from others casually, and others give gifts to show their love for you. There's no way Le Jun didn't know about this. ”

Sakakihara waved his hand indifferently, "It's all trivial, Ruri, aren't they fans of our band too." Isn't it normal to give gifts to idols? ”

"Idols can't be accepted either! Did you see that Suzu received a private gift from her fans? ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli feels that Sakakihara is weird

Is it the reason why I haven't spoken to him for a long time?

"Or are you doing that on purpose, Lejun, in a deliberate anger?"

"Angry with her?"

Sakakihara spread his hands, "Not really, Ruri, I'm just responding to them normally." You see I played and scored, they thought it was very handsome, and they cheered me up, I replied with two sentences, not too much. ”

"It's not too much. But I always feel that when you talk and laugh with them, you are deliberately annoying."

"Why do you feel that? Isn't this just normal communication? ”

"Haven't you been in a similar situation before, but didn't Lejun refuse it in the past?"

"Ah, it's different from the past. Now it's me figured it out. ”

"Figured it out.?"

Sakakihara Raku put his hands in his pockets, leaned his back against the wall of the gymnasium, and looked at the sunset on the horizon:

"Liuli, I think I've been too tired lately, and I have chosen to refuse a lot of things. Why refuse? To be honest, I enjoy playing basketball. Ah, it's not just about basketball, it's about the feeling of doing whatever I want.

"There is no feeling of restraint and pressure."

Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't fully understand, "What. Meaning? ”

Sakakihara took out his palm, crossed his fingers, and said:

"You see, when I usually go home, I have to cook, wash the dishes, tidy up the housework, help the bell with homework, and prepare a lunch box for you when I wake up the next day. These things are really tiring, and they are not for myself, so I thought, let go of these shackles and live a happy life. ”

"The happiness that Lejun said is to be with a bunch of girls. Chat? ”

Sakakihara shook his head: "No, how could Ruri think so?" Liuli cares so much about what they do, and it's normal for people to just think I'm handsome playing basketball, so they just come and talk to me for a few days. ”

I can't say it, Tianhai Jiu Ruri only feels that the Sakakihara music in front of him has an indescribable taste, obviously he hasn't done anything wrong, he is usually very tired, but he just feels very strange.

Sakakihara looked at the nine glasses of the sky sea standing in the sunset:

"Liuli came to me today, did you want to reconcile with me?"

“.” Tianhai Jiu Liuli hesitated, "No." ”

"That's a shame."

pity

Is that all?

What didn't Le Jun say to himself?

Obviously, there are many more explanations

Tianhai Jiuliuli swallowed these questions in his stomach and asked about Qi Mingyue:

"Lejun. And what exactly is the situation in July? She has been locked up in the classroom of the Faculty of Letters, and she doesn't even listen to me. ”

"Seven Bright Moons" Sakakihara Le's face was serious and pinched his chin, "Probably because she thinks she can live well by herself, and she doesn't need me anymore." ”

"Huh?"

Sakakihara Le took out his mobile phone and looked at the time: "Anyway, Ruri, it's useless to persuade Qi Mingyue now." I'm busy with my own business right now, and if you want to reconcile with me, feel free to welcome and I'll do my best to explain the situation to you. As for now, I'm sorry, but I have my own practice in the afternoon, so I won't take you with me. ”

"No, don't take me?"

"Goodbye."

"Wait—"

Before Tianhai Jiuliuli could say anything, he saw Sakakihara Le walking back to the gymnasium alone.

Obviously, it's only been a few days.

Why does it feel like Lejun is a completely different person.
