Tianyuan Shuo also almost didn't sleep all night.

He looked at himself in the mirror, and reached out helplessly to rub the black blue under his eyes, no way, who called him white skin, and the dark circles under his eyes couldn't be covered if he wanted to.

Splashed his face with cold water to sober up his somewhat confused head, Tian Yuan Shuo also glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was past the usual time to meet with Kakuna, Tian Yuan Shuo also picked up the mobile phone and poked the screen and flipped through it, and it was not surprising to find that no new information was received in the communication bar.

Tenin Shuoya's finger paused on Kakuna's avatar, lowering his eyes and thinking about something, but in the end he put his phone directly in his pocket, picked up his bag and walked out of the house.

It's cold.

Tenin Shuo also exhaled and pulled the collar of his school uniform up, thinking that maybe he should go shopping this weekend and buy some scarves and gloves, originally thought that the winter in Japan would not be so difficult.

Just when Tianyuan Shuo was also distracted, someone suddenly pasted a hot thing on his right cheek.

Tianyuan Shuo was also taken aback: "... Horn name? ”

"You're so hard today," the fox-eyed boy grumbled slowly, leaning against the wall, "what are you doing?" ”

Tianyuan Shuo also paused, and Chong Kakuena showed a selling-natured smile: "I overslept today, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've made Kakuna wait so long." ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Kakuna took the lead in looking away, and he stuffed the things in his hand into Tianyuan Shuoya's arms: "Give." ”

Tianyuan Shuo also picked it up: "This is... Milk? ”

Kakunama snorted, "Didn't you and Aji want to drink before?" But it was sold short at the school, and as it happens, I found it in the commissary across the street today. ”

Tianyuan Shuo also remembered that a few days ago, he did look for a long time with Azhi in the school commissary, and originally thought that Kakunami was very impatient and had been playing with his mobile phone.

Seeing that Tianyuan Shuo was just holding the milk and not moving, Jiao Ming simply took it back again, opened the lid and tore off the membrane and inserted the straw in one go, and then stuffed it back into his hand: "Drink it while it's hot." ”

"Got it." Tianyuan Shuo also responded obediently, holding the milk in the palm of his hand and drinking it in small sips, the milk was still hot, and the slightly sweet milk slid down his throat into his stomach, and his whole body warmed up.

Tianyuan Shuo was also drinking milk, and he couldn't help but look at Kakuna, who was walking next to him, and he didn't know how long Kakuna had been standing at the door, although the milk was still hot, but his hairstyle had been blown a little messy by the wind, and the tip of his nose was also a little red from the cold.

Kakuna was baffled by Tenin Shuoya's eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

"No," Tianyuan Shuo also retracted his gaze, "Kakuna, let's hurry up, it's not too early." ”

Kakuna: ...

Kakuna was a little suspicious that he had begun to have auditory hallucinations after standing in the cold wind for too long, and this sentence shouldn't have come out of his mouth, right?

It turns out that today's Tianyuan Shuo is indeed in a bit wrong.

After the morning run, watching his teammates line up in front of the net and prepare to start training, Tianyuan Shuo was also a little hesitant, looking like he didn't know whether to go over or not.

Others: ?

Everyone tacitly turned their eyes to the corner name, and motioned to the corner name to think of a way, what's wrong with the child?

Kawana turned his head: Please, don't look at me, I don't know what he's crazy about.

Gong Yoo, who was standing in front of the net and was about to hold the ball, looked left and right, and finally secretly lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that I yelled at him yesterday and he was angry?" ”

"You yelled at him?"

Gong Yu was a little twisted, and finally reluctantly had a showdown: "I didn't mean to, obviously he smashed the ball so well when he was training by himself, how could it go wrong as soon as he cooperated with me, I didn't want to yell at him, I was just a little anxious..."

Gindao Yuki thought for a moment and replied, "But this kind of thing can only happen to Ah Yu, what is that, Tsundere, right?" How can Shuo also look at it and not be tsundere, right? ”

Gong Yu was silent for two seconds, thinking about how to get Ginjima to go back tonight.

Miyaji, who was listening, decided to be a peacemaker kindly: "Ah Yu, people must be able to listen to other people's suggestions in order to go further on the road of volleyball." ”

Gong Yu sneered, saying that if he wanted to fight, he would say it directly.

Gong Yu thought that it was a waste of time to ask them for advice, so he simply walked over with a volleyball in his arms, grabbed people's necks and brought them to the net: "Is it so exaggerated?" Although I know that I do feel frustrated when I can't catch Uncle Ben's ball. ”

"But it doesn't matter," Gong Yoo patted him, "Practice more and practice more, I'm going to hold the ball for you anyway, as long as it's not as big as the ups and downs of that guy in Aji." ”

Miyaji: Thank you, huh?

"Ah Yu," Tianyuan Shuo was also a little taller than Gong Yu, and now he was being held by the neck, so he could only lower his head and ask, "You... Do you think it's the right choice to give me the ball? ”

Gong Yoo: ?

Gong Yoo is rarely a little weak-hearted, although he usually has an unforgiving mouth, but it is usually based on his feeling that the other party is not doing his best in volleyball.

But neither is Tianyuan Shuo.

Tianyuan Shuo also couldn't hide the tape on his hands at all, and Gong Yu himself was not without injuries, so he naturally knew that there would always be a gap between the feeling when he was injured and usual.

He yelled last night, not because he wasn't satisfied with Shuo, he just had an intuition that made Gong Yu always a little impatient to pull Shuo too.

But Gong Yu was killed, and it was impossible to say such a meaty word.

So Gong Yu could only pat him on the shoulder: "You just need to watch the ball, I'm the first setter in all Japanese high schools, and I'll solve all other things." ”

"I see," Tianyuan Shuo also pursed his lips and smiled, "Thank you, Ah Yu." ”

Gong Yu snorted twice, and stuffed the volleyball in his hand into Tianyuan Shuoye's arms: "Okay, don't grind and chirp, hurry up, the time of the first and second setters is very precious!" ”

Miyaji shook goosebumps: "Wow, the face is so big." ”

Gong Yu rolled his eyes, if it weren't for Coach Black Beard who happened to be standing not far away, based on what Gong Zhi just said, the twins would definitely fight again.

Yindao stepped out of the way and let Tianyuan Shuoya stand in and line up: "Shuoya, no problem, right?" If there is anything uncomfortable, just say that although Ah Yu has a poisonous mouth, you know that he is just impatient. ”

Tian Yuanshuo also felt the eyes of his teammates who were either overt or covertly concerned, and only felt that the hot milk he drank this morning had been warming his stomach to his heart: "No problem, I just didn't sleep well a little, don't worry." ”

**

There wasn't much time for training in the morning, and after a few dunks in line, Coach Kurosu signaled that they could disband and continue the rest of the training after school in the afternoon.

Tianyuan Shuo also followed behind everyone slowly, repeatedly typing the draft in his heart, waiting for most of his teammates to clean up, then he took a deep breath and walked in front of Kita Shinsuke.

Tianyuan Shuo also pinched the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice: "Senior Bei, that, do you have time?" Can I talk to you? ”

Kita Shinsuke stopped what he was doing and nodded at him, "Of course you can." ”

Kita Shinsuke threw a look at Alain, who understood, and stretched out his hand to grab the curious twins: "Take the things and go out to change them, and leave some private space for Shinsuke and Shuoya." ”

Others also have a tacit understanding of giving up space to them.

When Akagi, who was walking at the end, closed the door to the locker room, Hokushinsuke asked out loud, "What does Shuoya want to say?" ”

Tenin Shuo also licked his lips and bowed to Kita Shinsuke is a standard ninety degrees: "I'm very sorry, Kita-senpai, last night and... I'm sorry that the incident with Kimura-senpai caused an unnecessary conflict between you and Kimura-senpai. ”

"If、If possible, please tell me Kimura-senpai's class, and I'll make it clear to Kimura-senpai."

Amain Shuoya forced this passage out almost with his eyes closed, he had only been in Inarizaki for a short time, and he didn't know if Kimura's position on the team was as important as Evan was to St. Peter's Private High School.

However, in any case, thinking of the northern seniors and Kakuna who stood in front of him last night, Tenin Shuo didn't want to let the northern senpai and northern seniors experience everything they had experienced because of this incident.

Even if it's just a possibility, Tianyuan Shuo must strangle this kind of sprout in the cradle.

Kita Shinsuke looked at the top of Tenin Shuoya's furry head, and said half-loudly: "Shuoya, why do you want to apologize?" ”

Tianyuan Shuo couldn't help but be stunned: "Because, because Kimura-senpai is Inarizaki's trump card, if there is a conflict with Kimura-senpai, it will not be good for the team." ”

"And Kimura-senpai hasn't trained with everyone for a long time, so if I apologize, maybe..."

"Shuoya," Kita Shibusuke interrupted him, "don't lie to yourself, do you really think so?" ”

“...”

Ah, worthy of the Northern seniors.

Tianyuan Shuo was also less nervous after being punctured: "If my apology can make the team's ace change his mind and get the honor he deserves in Chungao, I don't care." ”

Hokushinsuke thought to himself that it was good that Gong Yoo was not here, otherwise when he heard such words, Gong Yoo would have already punched the blonde boy in the face.

"Shuo Ye, I have something I want to ask you."

"Huh? Okay," Tianyuan Shuo also straightened up, "Bei Senpai, please say." ”

Kita Shinsuke clasped his arms together: "Do you think your teammates are weak?" Or do you feel that your own strength is weak? ”

Tianyuan Shuo blinked inexplicably.

Hokushin continued: "The sentence you just said made the team members who didn't do anything wrong apologize, just because the ace in the team was angry, don't you think it's an insult? ”

"No, no, no," Tenin Shuo was also taken aback by Kita Shinsuke's words, "I didn't mean that!" ”

Kita Shinsuke tilted his head in confusion: "Then why did you apologize to me for something?" ”

"Hmm..."

"Or do you think Kimura-senpai's accusations against you are correct? You didn't put in the effort and easily got into the right position? ”

Beixin mindedly looked at the bandage on Tianyuan Shuoya's finger: "Don't easily doubt your own efforts because of other people's misunderstandings. ”

"Although you are more talented in volleyball than me," Kita Shinsuke said calmly, "but these talents are not enough to support you all the way to where you are now, and higher talent means higher expectations, and it also means that you are destined to carry more responsibilities than I do." ”

"However, those words are for Kita-senpai..."

Hokunobusuke understood what he wanted to say: "Shuoya, everyone's definition of volleyball is different, and for Kimura-senpai, he pays more attention to the results, but for me, the process is also very important. ”

"It's not just the results that make me who I am, but also the behavior of each day, which may be difficult for you to understand, but that's not a reason why Kimura-senpai can deny me." （1）

"Or do I look fragile in Shuoya's mind?"

"No," Tianyuan Shuo also sniffed, trying not to let the tears rolling in his eyes flow, "Being able to meet the northern seniors and everyone is the best thing I have encountered on this road of volleyball." ”

"Oh, that's good," Shibusuke Kita smiled, "I also hope that this experience you had in Inarizaki is something that you can remember later and be proud to say out loud and show off." ”

Tianyuan Shuo also opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say, the anger and grievances that had been haunting his heart for a long time, the barrier that had always stood between himself and the world, were gently and simply brushed away.

Growing up, the kind of happiness and warmth that can only be felt by the side of my mother and brother can also be absorbed from my teammates.

Kita Shinsuke looked at the appearance of Tenin Shuoya in front of him, and was thinking about whether to hand him the handkerchief, but there was a sudden knock on the door of the locker room.

"Kita-senpai-Shuoya-" Gong Yoo's big voice came from outside the door, "Alain asked me to remind you that there are only ten minutes until class, don't chat-"

Alan:?!

"When did I say that?" Alain's eyes widened, "Am I such a person who can't read the atmosphere?" ”

Miyaji whispered to Ginjima on the side: "If you tell the teacher that the volleyball team has a meeting and the time is delayed, can I take a leave of absence for the first class?" ”

Akagi touched his chin: "Maybe it's okay?" ”

"Of course not!"

Alain feels so tired, Akagi, why did you betray without saying hello? I retract what I just said, Shinsuke, you better come out quickly, if you don't come out again, these little cubs are really about to turn the sky upside down.

And Kita Shinsuke, who was in the locker room, listened to the noisy noise outside, thinking about the group of teammates with different personalities in the team, and couldn't help but soften his expression.

He gently pushed Shuo Ye on the chest of Tianyuan Shuo Ye: "Let's go, Shuo Ye, there are still people waiting outside." ”
