What are you going to do in front of the public!!

Ryo Hoshino, who finally reacted, immediately let go of his hand and took a step back, then touched his earlobe, and said in shock: "What, what??" ”

Ushijima looked at him: "Reward." ”

"I know, ah no, I didn't mean that, I mean-" Originally, his mind was a mess, and when he saw the other party's eyes that were also a little puzzled, Hoshino Ryo couldn't think of anything for a while, so he could only stammer and repeat "I mean" several times, but he couldn't say anything, and finally covered his face in frustration.

He slowed down for a few seconds, raised his head, and just wanted to explain his gaffe, but he was stunned for a moment after seeing something, and then suddenly laughed.

"Really...... Is this a reward for me or for yourself? ”

This sentence was said very lightly, but Ushijima Ruoli didn't hear it clearly, and tilted his head slightly: "What? ”

"It's okay." Ryo Hoshino pulled his arm and walked forward in the direction he had just been, "Keep walking!" During this time, his eyes did not look at Ushijima Wori's face, and Quan did not see the other party's red ears.

Because Ushijima hadn't started the competition yet, and the athletes' original dietary requirements, they didn't eat outside, it was really just a pure walk. But even so, the afternoon passed much faster than they had imagined.

Returning to the hotel after the meal, the two successfully met with the other teammates in the restaurant and enjoyed dinner happily. After dinner, because they had to go back to adjust the time difference, all the U21 players went back to the room with sleepy faces, and the rest of the U19 people who had nothing to do simply sat in the restaurant and chatted.

"Hey, I've asked the coach, and we guess we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

"Ah, so fast."

"What's fast, we've been here for almost half a month, okay?"

"I've been playing all the time, and I don't feel like it at all."

Katsuro Kato suddenly had a flash of inspiration and slapped the table: "Tomorrow is the last night, why don't we go out to see the night view together!" ”

"That makes sense, it's a shame not to do something on the last night."

"Yes, Kato! You can figure it out. ”

Katsuro Kato looked up proudly: "That's!" ”

As soon as the topic changed, everyone began to talk about tomorrow night's plans. Hoshino Ryo smiled and slapped the black-faced Gong Yu beside him: "Senior, the minority obeys the majority~"

Gong Yoo glared at him fiercely, but said nothing in the end.

So, 14 young big boys are so happy (?) I decided on my itinerary for tomorrow night.

*

The day after Ushijima arrived in Tijuana, like the Under-19s, they were also exempted from early training. After lunch, the coaching staff took them to the arena for dribbling practice.

The first day of acclimatization was not very intense, at least for Ushijima, who was not particularly tired after the afternoon and evening training. It's just that in order to adjust for the jet lag, he still has to rest within the time specified by the coaching staff.

"Then I'll go wash it." Assigned to a room with him was Iizuna. Seeing him come out of the bathroom, the other party walked in with his clothes.

Ushijima Worri sat down on the edge of the bed while wiping the ends of his slightly damp hair, habitually picking up his mobile phone to call

I opened the top chat box of LINE, and at the bottom there was a message sent by the other party more than ten minutes ago.

Ryo: Captain, are you in the room?

Ushijima Ruoli typed back, "Well, yes." ”

Almost in the next second, there was a reply to the message.

[Ryo]: Would you like to come out a little bit?

He paused to wipe his hair, then immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

Outside the door, after sending the message, Ryo Hoshino counted silently in his heart for three seconds, and sure enough, he heard a series of footsteps in the room, and then the door in front of him opened, and the sensor light in the corridor also lit up again because of this movement.

The sudden bright vision made him squint, but it didn't prevent him from smiling and waving to the young man: "Hi~"

After seeing the other party's outfit clearly, he touched his chin and said, "Sure enough, the captain was taking a shower just now, so I said-huh, what's wrong?" ”

The young man suddenly strode over and grabbed his wrist. And it wasn't until this time that Ryo Hoshino realized that the other party's expression was not happy, and could even be said to be a little gloomy.

Immediately a wake-up call sounded in his heart, and he cautiously closed his mouth, frantically wondering if he had done something wrong.

Could it be that the captain is too tired from training today and wants to rest early? No, the amount of practice on the first day shouldn't be too much......

The door that had lost its shackles slowly turned and slammed shut.

At the same time, the young man asked in a deep voice, "How long have you been standing outside?" ”

"Huh?" The train of thought was interrupted suddenly, and Ryo Hoshino subconsciously replied, "It's only ten minutes ......?" ”

The surface of the wrist held in his hand was cold, and Ushijima Ruoli's eyes were slightly gloomy: "The temperature is low at night, why don't you wear more?" ”

"Uh......" Ryo Hoshino scratched his face, "I thought I was just in the hotel, and I didn't go out." But the captain, you just came out after taking a shower to get cold. ”

Ushijima Ruoli shook his head, and was about to say something, when the sensor light above his head suddenly went out. Both looked up at the same time.

Hoshino Ryo helplessly: "This sensor light ......"

Ushijima looked around and saw a door marked with a safety exit not far away.

"Follow me." He squeezed the boy's wrist again, "Watch your step." ”

The lights in the stairwell are not sensor lights, and the brightness is sufficient, which is indeed a good choice. Ryo Hoshino was still immersed in a state of "going blind again", but he was moved to tears when he saw this bright place.

"The sensor light is really very unfriendly to people like me." He sighed.

Ushijima Ruoli finally let go of his wrist: "Is there something you want me to do?" ”

Only then did Ryo Hoshino react: "Oh! Almost forgot, you put your hand out. ”

Although Ushijima Ruoli was puzzled, he still stretched out his hand according to his words.

"Palms up." The silver-haired boy flipped his palm over and put his right fist up.

r />

The next second, something a little rough fell into his palm. When the other person removed his hand, he saw a small volleyball ornament on his hand.

It is very small, but the workmanship is very exquisite, and even the lines on the volleyball are restored.

Ushijima Ruoli raised his eyes in surprise, only to see the silver-haired boy smiling at him and saying, "How is it?" Do you like it?

”

Looking at the pair of shiny amber eyes, he subconsciously clenched the small volleyball ball and replied in a low voice: "...... Like. ”

"That's good." Ryo Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew you would like this, there was only one left in the store at that time, and I almost didn't snatch the light." But this workmanship is really good, I heard the store manager say that it is because of the recent World Championships that it is sold more. Oh yes! ”

He picked up the charm, revealing a metal nameplate on the volleyball: "Look here—I asked the store manager to carve it for me!" I saw a small cartoon bull's head engraved on the metal nameplate.

"That's Ushijima Wakari's volleyball! Isn't that nice? ”

Ushijima Ruoli looked at the boy's side face, and his index finger curled slightly: "...... Well. ”

"I'm a genius." Ryo Hoshino didn't notice his expression, and triumphantly handed the things back to him, "Take it, don't lose it." ”

“…… Well. ”

"Alright, mission accomplished, it's time for me to go back." Hoshino smiled coldly, "Captain, too, rest early, you have to train tomorrow." ”

Ushijima Ruolima rubbed the volleyball in his hand and suddenly asked, "Are you going back to Tokyo tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, it's a flight tomorrow at noon, so I have to go straight to the airport when I get up in the morning." Ryo Hoshino said half-jokingly, "You won't be able to see me soon, so don't miss me too much." ”

Who knew that the other party replied with a serious expression: "I will think about it." ”

Hoshino Ryoshi was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the other party continue to ask, "Are you going back to Miyagi directly?" ”

"It should be, after all, the school has also opened, so I have to go back to class."

"Go back ......" Ushijima Ruoli lowered his eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Hoshino Ryu blinked and said tentatively, "Hmm...... By the time the U21 competition is over, it should be almost the sports festival, and at that time, the volleyball team should stay in school for training, and if you have time to come back, Coach Washator will definitely welcome it. ”

Ushijima Ruoli thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay." But after a pause, he spoke again: "There is ...... more."

Ryo Hoshino was curious: "What else?" ”

As a result, I waited for a long time, and I didn't wait for the other party to say anything. Ryo Hoshino was full of question marks: "What's wrong?" Is there anything inconvenient to say? ”

"Nope." The young man shook his head, but his expression still looked a little hesitant, "I'm just ......"

"Just?"

Ushijima Ruoli closed his eyes, for him, this sentence was really difficult to ask, but he really ...... Would love to know the answer.

He clenched his fists and finally asked:

"I just wanted to ask you, I ...... Can there be rewards too? ”

"What?" Ryo Hoshino thought he had misheard, "What reward, I-uh?!" Absolutely! After reacting, he immediately replied, "The game is so hard, there must be a reward for playing well!" ”

"Really?"

"That's right!" As soon as Ryo Hoshino relaxed, he began to run the train with his mouth full, "And how can a person as stable as you, captain, not play well, even if you give a reward in advance, there is no problem at all!" ”

"...... early? Now? ”

"Yes, yes, now- what?? Right now?! The little silver hair was shocked, "How, what, what, now?" ”

"Because you're leaving tomorrow. ()”

“? [()]?『 Come[]& See the latest chapter&Full chapter』()"

The little silver hair suddenly - no, suddenly big! "No, no, no, but I didn't mean that—" A pair of eyes looked at his own captain, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to refuse.

Ryo Hoshino, that's all you need!

He cursed.

As if sensing his entanglement, the young man lowered his eyes and said softly, "It's okay, then let's wait until the game is over." ”

"No way!" Ryo Hoshino patted his chest and said righteously, "It's okay now, right now!" "I don't know when I said it......

"Isn't it just a reward, and it can be difficult for me to fail?" He frowned and began to ponder, and when he thought about it, he remembered the "reward" of the other party yesterday.

Ryo Hoshino subconsciously touched his earlobe again, thinking a little uncertainly.

Should...... Is that okay? It seems that there is no other way?

He cleared his throat, "Well, captain, you close your eyes first." ”

Ushijima Ruoli obediently closed his eyes and only heard the other party say, "You, don't move." ”

Then, something brushed his chin, and the familiar touch made him immediately realize that it was the other's hair.

The itch from the friction made him subconsciously hold his breath, but he still followed the other man's words and stood there motionless.

Until—

Something lightly touched his Adam's apple.

Ushijima Ryori immediately opened his eyes, and almost at the same time, Ryo Hoshino took two steps back.

The two looked at each other.

Ushijima Ruoli rolled his throat and looked surprised: "You ......"

"I, I'll go back first!!"

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the other party, but he stopped in mid-air, and could only watch the silver-haired boy run away as if he were running away.

Everything happened so fast that Ushijima raised his hand to press it on his Adam's apple and lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sensor light outside the stairwell turned on and off, but he still stood still.

I don't know how long it took before he exhaled deeply and walked towards his room!
