So why is he asking this question?

Ryo Hoshino, who was awakened by the bright morning sun, lay on the bed and thought lovelessly.

When he woke up, he felt that his body temperature had returned to normal. The exhaustion in the body has been relieved by half, and the remaining weakness will take time to slowly ease. But that's not the point.

As he gradually grasped the information of his body, the memories of last night also came back little by little, including his earth-shattering question.

He didn't want to hide anything from his mind, but he really shouldn't choose to be in this state, at this time, to say such things that are not just brains!

What do you mean by "Do you like me?" ”

According to his assumption, he should have expressed his heart to the other party in a quiet environment with a good atmosphere, and then waited for the other party's reply. As a result, I skipped the step of expressing my intentions and went straight to the part of waiting for a reply.

Oh his Virgin Mary, there must be something wrong with his brain!

And, most importantly -

As soon as he thought of this, Ryoshi Hoshino's face began to distort, and he almost wanted to kick his last night's self to death. Because in his gradually emerging memory, he simply asked more than once last night!

The silver-haired boy lying on the bed covered his face and let out a mournful scream.

"Huh? Are you awake? As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, the curly-haired boy who heard the movement said with surprise on his face.

"Aoki." Ryo Hoshino sat up, "I worked hard for you yesterday." "Last night, Ushijima Ruoli said that the spring high school qualifiers were coming, and he was worried that there would be an infection that would affect everyone's game status, so he simply sent a message asking Aoki Mori not to go back to the dormitory for the time being, and to go to other people's places to squeeze first.

"What's this, anyway, I originally wanted to talk to Hanhejiang and them about offensive tactics, which is not right." Aoki Mori waved his hand.

"By the way, when did you come back? Team ......" Hoshino paused for a moment, "What about the captain?" ”

"Oh, this. Didn't Ushijima-senpai know about our morning training time? He was waiting for us directly downstairs. He told us that your fever had subsided and that you might wake up in a while, and asked me to come back and see you. I bought you breakfast. Aoki Mori pouted at the table, "His words seem to be going home, probably going back to wash and change clothes?" ”

"Oh......"

"You're not feeling sick right now, are you?"

Seeing him shake his head, Aoki Mori said: "Then you take it easy, get up and eat breakfast, I will go to morning training first, and the old man only approved me for two hours of leave." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you, I'll invite you to dinner when I turn around."

Aoki Mori waved his hand, turned and walked out the door.

The moment the door closed, the expression on Ryo Hoshino's face collapsed. He sat on the bed for nearly a minute before he sighed deeply and lifted the covers and got out of bed.

After washing, the sleepiness was reduced a lot. He sat down at his desk and opened the bag containing breakfast, and the first thing he saw was not food, but a post-it note attached to the box.

[Although the fever has subsided, you still can't be careless, remember to take medicine after drinking porridge.] - Ushijima】

Ushijima Wakari's font is very personal in his style, and each word is drawn one stroke at a time, and Ryo Hoshino can even imagine how serious the other party looked when he wrote these words.

— just like last night when he was questioned like a vexatious questioner

The same.

Thinking of what happened last night, the expression on Ryo Hoshino's face became complicated again.

With the captain's temperament, how could he casually ignore his questioning? So every time, the other party answered very seriously.

— and the answer is the same every time.

But, but!! He wasn't awake yesterday! Not to mention responding, the whole time will only giggle and play scoundrels. It's a shame that the captain was already gone when he woke up, otherwise he really didn't know how to face the other party for a while.

Ryo Hoshino sighed deeply.

He read the note again, then pulled a book from the nearby bookshelf and carefully slipped the post-it note inside. Then he opened the box in front of him, clasped his hands together and whispered, "I'm moving." ”

Anyway, eat the meal first.

*

After breakfast, Ryo Hoshino, who had nothing to do, wandered to the gymnasium again. As soon as the eagle smith saw him, his brows furrowed, "What are you doing here?" Idle for too long? ”

Ryo Hoshino hurriedly raised his hands: "I'm just here to see, don't fight." ”

Saito Akira said with concern: "How are you now?" I heard Ruoli say that you were very sick yesterday, did your fever go away? ”

"I got up in the morning and left."

"Even if the fever goes away, I can't resume training immediately, recuperate, and I'm not in a hurry for this day or two."

Ryo Hoshino nodded obediently. He's been paying attention to this since what happened before. But he wasn't here for training today.

The timing of the spring high school qualifiers in Miyagi Prefecture does not vary much every year, and most of them hover from the end of October to the beginning of November. The volleyball team is now on the right track in its training mode, and although it will not change its practice program specifically for the qualifiers, it is certain that there will be a focus.

The three of them silently observed the players on the court who were doing basic training.

Akira Saito said: "Yura has been in good form lately, and his serve accuracy and blocking height have improved. ”

Ryo Hoshino echoed: "After all, he went to the whole country to hone his training, and he performed quite well in the finals at that time. ”

"His mentality is really stable, and it seems that there is no need to worry about this qualifier."

After the IH national competition, several third-year players retired, including the original starting setter Kenjiro Hakubu, who retired due to academic problems. The change of the starting setter actually has a great impact on the team as a whole, but the cooperation played by Yura Masata in IH made the transition of the starting setter extremely smooth this time.

Oh, his classmate Taiichi Kawanishi didn't leave, in the words of the other party, [what to learn, let's talk about it after fighting].

It's actually quite boring to watch training, but Ryo Hoshino has developed this habit of observation in his dreams, and he often helps to keep an eye on the training situation before, so now he is not only fascinated, but also chatting with the coach from time to time.

This is the scene that Waori Ushijima saw when he walked into the gymnasium. He made a move towards the silver-haired man

Shengda strode away.

The first to see him was Akira Saito: "Hey, Ruoli, you're here." ”

Ryo Hoshino's body subconsciously stiffened when he heard this name, and then after hearing the young man greet the two coaches, he walked up to him and asked, "How is your body?" ”

Hoshino Ryo some, who didn't know what attitude to use to treat the other party at all

He stammered and replied, "Oh, oh,

Pretty good! "Eyes drift around,

I just don't dare to look up.

Ushijima Wakari saw his small movements in his eyes and didn't speak. Saito Akira next to him spoke at the right time: "Ruoli, you're here, go up to guide and guide?" ”

The silver-haired boy's ears moved slightly, and Ushijima Ruoli looked at it and replied, "Okay." ”

Huh?!

Hoshino raised his head coolly, but the young man didn't look at him, he had already stepped into the court, and quickly integrated into the practice.

Hoshino looked at it blankly, his mind full of mush.

Huh? This attitude doesn't feel any different from usual, huh? Could it be that he was dreaming last night?? Or maybe the captain forgot?

Impossible...... He was the one who had a fever, and he was not the captain.

So what's going on now?

Ryo Hoshino, who had a lot of brain cells burned, was puzzled, and could only stare at the people on the field, but the other party never looked this way.

It must be too devoted, well, the captain is originally this character, he has to understand, um.

It's just that the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel, and in the end, I even feel a little aggrieved.

He jerked to his feet, only to get dizzy from getting up too quickly. Saito Ming next to him hurriedly supported him: "Are you okay?" - Shhh Is your body temperature coming up again, why does it feel so hot? ”

"I'm fine, maybe I was a little excited just now." Hoshino replied in a sullen voice.

"Too excited to watch?" The eagle craftsman's face was gloomy, "Get out!" Hurry up and lie down for me, don't let me see you here! ”

Ryo Hoshino obediently responded.

"Can you do it yourself?" Akira Saito looked worried.

"Yes, it's just a little cold, it's fine. Coach, keep busy, leave me alone. Ryo Hoshino waved his hand and walked towards the door.

It didn't take long to walk, and he heard a sound of footsteps from behind, and Ryo Hoshino turned his head to see that it was Ushijima Wakari.

"I'll send you back."

Ryo Hoshino lowered his head: "...... Oh. ”

The two didn't say anything all the way. The cool autumn wind blew in bursts, and Ryo Hoshino noticed in the afterglow that the other party had staggered a little faster, and then approached him to block some of the wind.

Hoshino Ryo blinked, and finally spoke, "Thank you for taking care of me last night, I, you...... You haven't slept much, have you? ”

"No thanks, it's fine."

"Oh." Hoshino Ryo lowered his head and counted the stones on the road, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "You, are you unhappy?" ”

The person next to him suddenly stopped, Ryo Hoshino didn't notice it for a while, and the shoulders of the two collided. The young man immediately stretched out his hand to hold him, helped him stand up, and then said, "I didn't, why do you ask that?" ”

Hoshino Ryo opened his mouth, and his heart was crossed: "I didn't have a clear mind last night, and I said a lot of nonsense, captain, you...... Don't take it personally. After saying that, he held his breath and waited for the other party's answer.

Who knew that the young man was silent for two seconds: "What do you mean?" ”

Hoshino Ryo suddenly raised his head with a dull expression: "Huh? "So the captain didn't take it to heart in the first place? He said with some hesitation: "I was the one who pulled you last night...... Ask if you like it...... "The more you talk, the more you feel empty, and the more you talk, the quieter you become."

But Ushijima Wakari is pointed

nodded: "I see." If that's what you're talking about, I don't think it's a mess. ”

"Huh?"

"Because I didn't think it was a mess, my answers were all serious." The young man said in a deep voice, "If you think I didn't speak solemnly enough when you weren't conscious, then I can answer you again now." ”

Hoshino was stunned.

I saw the young man look into his eyes and speak calmly: "The first question, you ask me-"

[Captain, do you like me?] 】

"My answer is, yes, I like you."

Hoshino suffocated his breath.

"Second question, you ask me-"

["Captain, do you like me? In the evening, when the boy had a high fever again, and Ushijima Ruoli helped him cover the quilt and put on a hot towel, the other party blinked and suddenly asked. And at that time, after a pause of two seconds, Ushijima Ruoli looked into his eyes and replied seriously——]

"Yes, I like you."

Ryo Hoshino grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Third Question......"

[When Ushijima Ruoli was about to change the basin of hot water, the silver-haired boy suddenly grabbed him, and his voice was eager and sticky: "Captain, don't go, don't dislike me......" Ushijima Ruoli's eyelashes trembled slightly, held his hand, half-knelt beside the bed, and said softly:]

[No, I like you, I've always liked you.] 】

"No, I like you, I've always liked you." A voice sounded faster than he did, exactly the same as his own answer in his memory.

Ushijima Ruoli was slightly stunned. The boy's silver hair was a little messy by the wind, and the bright sunlight reflected in those clear amber eyes, allowing the emotions in them to be completely exposed to his eyes.

He saw the silver-haired boy bend his eyebrows and pull his hand on his chest.

"Knock Knock"

"Knock Knock"

The violently pounding heart beat against the back of his hand through a layer of flesh and skin, as fast as the heartbeat of his dreams in his dreams.

"I like you, Captain." The silver-haired boy smiled and said, "I like you very, very much." ”

"Did you hear that?"!
