"I want to confess to him."

"——?!" Hearing this sentence from the other side of the mobile phone, Tiantong felt a carp jumped up from the bed, "What did you say?!" ”

Ushijima repeated earnestly: "I said I wanted to confess to him. ”

"Why so suddenly?? Oh no, you wanted to talk to him. Tiantong Jue helped his forehead, "Although I did stop you because I was afraid of affecting the World Championships of the two of you, you don't have to rush to confess as soon as the World Championships are over, right?" ”

Ushijima sat at the desk, looked at the volleyball ornament placed alone in a bookshelf compartment, and whispered, "...... I just want him to know that I like him. ”

"Oh~" Only Tiantong Jue can say the word "oh" so winding and full of deep meaning. However, Ushijima Wakari has long been accustomed to his way of speaking, and he does not find it strange.

Tian Tong Jue touched his chin and thought for a while: "...... Okay, if you want to confess, then sue. But when do you want to choose? You both should be in school now, right? ”

"Sports Festival." Ushijima replied without hesitation, obviously having thought about it for a long time.

"Sports Festival...... According to the old man's previous style, the volleyball club should stay in school for training, and this time is okay. So what are you going to tell him? ”

Ushijima Ruoli hesitated: "I'm ...... Tijuana bought him a gift......"

"Gifts?! Okay, good, confession gift, that's a good idea! Tian Tong Jue let his imagination run wild, "When the time comes, you will invite him to the school playground, oh!" Or in that garden, find a suitable time to give him a gift, and then take advantage of the good atmosphere to confess! ”

"Okay."

Tiantong Jue was curious: "But ah, Ruoli, you haven't thought about it, what if he rejects you, what will you do?" ”

Ushijima was stunned.

What if Ryo rejected him......?

At the thought of this possibility, the thoughts in his mind suddenly became chaotic, and the hand on the table clenched into a fist at some point. He didn't even hear the latter sentence of Tiantong Jue: "But I think it's still quite possible for him to accept you......"

Wari Ushijima, who has always been fearless in volleyball, experienced the emotion of "fear" for the first time. Just imagining that image in his mind, his heart couldn't stop falling.

What would Ryo do if he really rejected him?

"Knock Knock"

"Knock Knock"

The heart pounded violently, pounding again and again on the eardrums.

The boy in front of him turned around, his bright silver hair was a little messy by the wind, and the bright moonlight fell on those clear amber eyes, making his breath suffocate slightly.

"Captain, what do you want to say?"

Ushijima Ruoli clenched his fists, his throat tightened: "I ......"

"Huh?" The boy's expression was a little puzzled.

He plucked up his courage: "Ryo, I like you. "The heartbeat peaked at this moment, mixed with the slight hum of nervousness, a little noisy.

In the next second, the boy's face suddenly changed, and there was guilt in his eyes. He said, "...... I'm sorry. ”

In an instant, Ushijima Ruoli's heart fell into an ice cellar.

"-Ho!"

In the turbulent carriage,

The young man by the window suddenly woke up. After coming to his senses,

He heard the in-car announcement repeating:

“…… Hello passengers, this Shinkansen is about to enter Sendai Station, so please pack your belongings and get off the bus through the left door......"

He looked out the window at the familiar scenery, the uneasiness in his heart slowly subsided as the dream image gradually blurred, and his eyes became firm.

He's ready. No matter what kind of situation he encounters, he will definitely be able to deal with it-

"What did you say?"

"Huh?" Hanhe Jiang Yong touched the back of his head, "I said, Hoshino seems to be a little uncomfortable today, so he left after doing basic training." ”

Ushijima Ruoli frowned: "Uncomfortable? ”

"I don't know what it is, but it shouldn't be serious. I took him to the infirmary to get the medicine, and he said he wanted to go back to the dormitory to lie down, and the coach agreed. Hanhe Jiang Yong briefly explained a few words and asked tentatively, "Ushijima-senpai, are you ...... Is there anything urgent to find Hoshino? ”

"It's fine." Ushijima Ruoli nodded slightly, "You continue to train, I'll go see him." ”

"Oh......" Hanhe Jiang Yong looked at the other party and turned around neatly to leave.

The others quietly came over: "What is the matter with Ushijima-senpai looking for you?" ”

"Where are you looking for me?" Han Hejiang raised his eyebrows, "People are looking for someone else." ”

Anyway, isn't the relationship between Hoshino and Ushijima's predecessors too good?

Xiao Cuntou touched his chin thoughtfully.

Seeing that the young man turned out of the gate and disappeared, the teammate next to him suddenly asked with some hesitation: "By the way, didn't you say that Ushijima seniors came back to guide us to practice......?" ”

Others: "......"

Hanhe Jiang Yong was silent for a long time, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "You don't care about the affairs of adults." ”

Shiratorizawa Student Dormitory Building C.

Ushijima Ruoli raised his eyes and looked at [307] by the door, then reached out and knocked on the door.

"Tuk-tuk-"

The clash of finger bones and door panels echoed through the empty hallway.

Five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds...... There was no movement on the other side of the door.

Ushijima Ruoli frowned, took out his phone and pressed and held button 1. After the number was dialed, he listened intently, and there was a melodious ringing of his mobile phone faintly from inside the door.

People are in it.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door and shouted, "Hoshino? Still no one responded.

Ushijima frowned, pressed his shoulder against his phone, and continued to knock on the door with one hand, pressing the doorknob with the other. When the doorknob was successfully unscrewed, he was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and raised his voice to say, "I'm in." Then he opened the door and walked inside.

The dormitory was not large, and almost as soon as he walked in, he saw a figure lying on the bed.

“Ryo？” He walked briskly to the bed, his gaze twitching slightly as he touched the boy's flushed face. He subconsciously reached out to probe the other person's forehead.

It's hot!

Ushijima Wakari's heart jumped, and he immediately looked around. A few boxes of medicine were scattered on the desk.

He walked over and took a closer look, and found that it was just some simple cold medicine, not a fever reducer. It seems that the fever only started after returning

made.

After coming to a conclusion, Ushijima Worri helped the boy cover the quilt, turned around and walked out.

……

Ever since returning from Tijuana, Ryo Hoshino has been feeling unwell, but not to the point of getting sick.

It should be that the environment has changed too much, and the body is not adaptable.

He didn't pay much attention to it, and it didn't affect his daily life anyway, so he let it go.

However, I felt a little pain in my head since I got up in the morning, and I thought it was just a while, but I didn't expect that the whole morning had passed, and the symptoms had not weakened in the slightest, but there were some signs of intensification. He immediately asked the coach for leave, went to the infirmary to get the medicine, and then planned to go back to the dormitory to rest.

But not long after lying in bed, he lost consciousness directly.

Slowly, he felt that his whole body was burning like fire, and even the breath that came out of his mouth was hot. He writhed uneasily, trying to shake off the heavy, stuffy quilt on his body, but was quickly held down.

"Hot ......" he protested aggrievedly.

In the dimness, he seemed to hear the man calling his name.

Ryo, Ryo's ...... whispered in his ear.

There was a cold thing on his forehead, which was very comfortable. The man reached over to his neck, his fingers were cold and comfortable.

When he felt that the hand was about to be withdrawn, he immediately rubbed it: "Don't go......"

The boy's soft cheeks rubbed against his fingers, Ushijima Ruoli's eyelashes trembled, and his voice was hoarse: "...... I'm not going. ”

The high fever is menacing, and it is not easy to completely reduce the fever, but if you just cool down the temperature, it is not difficult.

When Ryo Hoshino woke up, his whole body was groggy. His body was a little heavy because of the high fever, and he moved, and there was immediately a sound of hurried footsteps beside him.

"What's wrong? Want to drink water? ”

The sound is familiar. Hoshino raised his eyes sluggishly: "Captain......?" ”

Ushijima Wakari snorted and took off the towel from his forehead: "You just woke up, don't be in a hurry to sit up." Then he turned and poured a glass of water on the table, "Drink some water first." ”

Ryo Hoshino raised his upper body slightly under his support, and took a sip of half a glass of water on the other party's hand. Then I saw the other party put down the water cup and took out the thermometer: "Take your temperature." ”

Ryo Hoshino obediently raised his arm to clamp the thermometer and watched the other party take the basin to the bathroom and pour it out.

Memories of his half-dreaming and half-awake time slowly surfaced, and he blinked his eyes and just watched the other party busy before and after. After a few minutes, the young man finally packed up his things, sat down on the edge of his bed, and first reached out to probe his forehead: "It's still a little hot." I look at the thermometer. ”

Ushijima Ruoli leaned over and took off the thermometer and looked at it carefully: "38.1, it's still a bit high." Do you feel uncomfortable right now? ”

Ryo Hoshino shook his head.

"It's past five o'clock, is there anything you want to eat? How about porridge? After drinking it, I just took some medicine. ”

Seeing the boy nodding, he stood up, "Then you lie down again, I'll buy it." ”

After hearing the sound of the door closing, the smile on Ryo Hoshino's lips narrowed slightly. He stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

After dinner, I sweated and my body temperature dropped to more than 37 o'clock, which was considered to be able to move normally. Taking advantage of the low temperature, Ryo Hoshino went to take a hot bath.

Taking a hot shower when you have a low fever can help dissipate heat, but you should not take a bath for too long. After a hasty wash, Ryo Hoshino opened the bathroom door and looked stunned. Ushijima Ruoli was standing outside the door leaning against the wall. Seeing him come out, the other party came over and held him: "Be careful." ”

The two walked to the bed, and Ushijima pointed to the end of his hair: "It's a little wet." ”

"Oh, I guess I got wet accidentally, just wipe it."

"I'll help you."

Hearing this, Hoshino was stunned. When he came back to his senses, the other party had already taken the towel in his hand and looked like he was waiting. He could only obediently turn away.

The young man pressed lightly, the soft towel rubbing against the ends of his hair. The other party's slightly cool fingertips brushed his neck from time to time.

The two people in the room, one sitting and the other standing, although they did not speak, inexplicably formed an atmosphere.

Suddenly, the seated man came alive. He grabbed the young man's wrist with his backhand, turned his head, and looked up at the other from the bottom up. The corners of the eyes are a little red due to a long-term fever, but the eyes are unusually bright.

He asked softly:

"Captain, do you like me?"!
