[Slam Dunk] Undefended heart

Ding-dong-

Hearing the doorbell, Chiyo hurriedly stood up and went to open the door. Seeing his son and daughter-in-law whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Chiyo's joy was beyond words, "Didn't you say you should be home at two o'clock in the afternoon? Why did you come back now?"

God knows how she spends her day today, all she can think about is that Xiao Feng and Xiao Xun are going home, and now she can be regarded as looking forward to them coming back.Music + text +. Hey, it’s not a good thing for a son to be too promising. We don’t see each other a few times throughout the year. Most of the time, we can only know how well the child is doing by watching the broadcast of the game.

"Mother." Seeing his mother, Rukawa had a rare smile on his face.

Compared with Rukawa's reservedness, Kaoru was obviously more enthusiastic. He went up and gave Chiyo a warm hug without saying a word, as if his mouth had been smeared with honey, "It's all because the plane is late! Mom, I miss you to death !"

Facing this pistachio, Chiyo smiled even more happily, "Why are you two alone? Didn't you agree to bring Xiaojin and Xiaoqian back together?"

"Those two girls have gone to Italy with my parents. I guess they will hardly recognize who their parents are." It's rare for her to go back to Japan with Feng, so she doesn't want to bring two oil bottles, hmph~~

Chiyo was immediately amused by her unrestrained speech, "You are also a mother, and you are still like this."

Although Chiyo was talking about educating Kaoru, Kaoru couldn't hear the spoiling inside and out of her words, and now she was even happier when she flattered her, and she took care of her mother-in-law in a few clicks.

As soon as the three of them entered the living room, Kaoru noticed that there was an extra teacup on the table, and the tea in the cup was obviously not completely cooled.

"Hey, did you have a visitor at home just now?"

Chiyo smiled and explained, "Oh, it's Reiko, she hasn't left yet."

Kaoru nodded knowingly, since Hiiragi left, Reiko of Saiyuanji would still come to visit her house from time to time, so Kaoru and Rukawa were not too surprised that Reiko was here.

Chiyo motioned for the two to sit down, and then briefly explained Reiko's reason for coming this time. For a while, only Chiyo's narration was left in the living room.

Walking to the door of Hiiragi's room, Kaoru hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open.

The originally tidy room was now covered with paintings on the floor, and a tall woman in a black professional suit was arranging the paintings with her back facing her.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the woman turned around, revealing a beautiful face. This person was none other than Reiko Xiyuanji.

Seeing that it was Xun who came, Xiyuan Temple was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered, "Long time no see, you haven't changed at all."

Kaoru walked into the house, first admired the paintings all over the floor, and then said, "I heard from my mother that you plan to hold a painting exhibition for Hiiragi?"

Mentioning Hiiragi's name, Xiyuanji's eyes softened unconsciously, "Well, actually, I've always had this plan before, but the previous conditions were not mature enough, and now that I have this ability, I naturally hope that Hiiragi will His talents can be affirmed by the world."

Of course, Kaoru knew about Saiyuanji's political career and achieved good results, but she didn't expect that after so many years, she would still miss Hiiragi so much.The look in Xiyuanji's eyes when he mentioned Hiiragi just now can't fool her, it's not the eyes that people who have come out should have.

"Are you holding the art exhibition for Hiiragi or for yourself?" The object is not Rukawa, so Kaoru will not be polite when speaking.

Facing Xun Xun's sharp point, Xiyuan Temple retreated half a step in embarrassment, but her years of experience in politics quickly calmed her down, "I will donate all the income from the art exhibition to medical research related to heart disease." organize."

Seeing that Kaoru was still staring at him, Xiyuan Temple couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Well, I admit that this matter is half for Hiiragi and half for myself, no one can force me to forget him..."

"No one can..."

After a long time, Xun sighed, and said, "I didn't mean to stop you from holding an art exhibition, you can do as you want, and my mother and the others agreed to this matter."

Everyone has the right to choose their own future. If this is the path Xiyuansi wants to take, what is the use of her saying more?And the child is not a fish, who knows the joy of fish?So Kaoru soon relieved.

Hearing Xun's words, Xiyuan Temple was obviously relieved. She didn't know why she was still afraid of this girl who was younger than herself. However, since the matter was resolved, there was nothing to delve into.

"By the way," Xiyuan Temple suddenly thought of something, held up one of the paintings and said to Kaoru, "I take this painting as the finale, do you mind?"

Kaoru looked up, her pupils shrank slightly.

It was a painting with a very beautiful artistic conception. A girl stood in a field of sunflowers, as if she heard her lover's call, she looked back and smiled, she was more beautiful than a flower.

"...I don't mind." And that girl was her.

In fact, the main purpose of Kaoru and Rukawa coming back this time is to participate in the ten-year gathering of the Xiangbei basketball team, and the place of this gathering is still the ramen shop of the Miyagi family. Of course, it is not an ordinary ramen shop now, but It is a chain store with five branches.

When Kaoru and Rukawa came in, they happened to hear Miyagi bragging about their history of getting rich. Kaoru couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling, "I think the greatest skill of Miyagi-senpai is to marry a capable wife, right?"

"..." This stinky girl actually demolished the stage as soon as she came.

"Haha, I think Kaoru summed it up very brilliantly." Sakuragi obviously arrived very early, looking at the empty bowls in front of him, he had already eaten at least four bowls of ramen.

When Caizi heard the voice, she hurriedly came up from the room and said enthusiastically, "Come on, give Sister Caizi a hug, it's been years since I've seen you two busy people!"

Kaoru pretended to be surprised, "Hey, I remember that there should be live broadcasts of NBA games in Japan, have you guys watched them?"

"Stinky girl, you'll die if you don't brag?" Caizi was speechless.

"Yes." Kaoru replied solemnly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then laughed and hugged each other at the same time, without any sense of unfamiliarity that they hadn't seen for many years.

Mitsui, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but sympathetically said to Rukawa beside him, "This girl hasn't changed at all these years, it's not easy for you."

"I think it's good for Kaoru to do this." Rukawa felt that he had to defend his wife.

"..." Looking at Rukawa's serious rebuttal, Mitsui didn't know whether to sympathize with Rukawa or Kaoru, as it really is a wise saying that a pot matches a lid.

At this time, Mu Mu suddenly came up to Mitsui and asked, "I heard that the Xiangbei basketball team is very likely to win the championship this year?"

As the coach of the Xiangbei basketball team, Mitsui is naturally full of confidence, "The players have performed very well this year, and it will definitely be no problem to win the championship. When the time comes, Mu Mu, remember to watch the game."

Akagi usually hates Mitsui's proud and complacent appearance. Now that he heard such nonsense, he couldn't help reminding, "I don't know how many strong teams there are in the country. Don't underestimate your opponent."

"As a dean, you are really lenient." Mitsui has been dissatisfied for a long time with this dean who comes to the basketball team for technical guidance every now and then.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Xiao Lin and Mizusawa immediately came to try to persuade them to fight. The current senior is really getting more and more worry-free...

"By the way, who else didn't come?" Mu Mu, who had rich experience in persuasion, immediately changed the topic.

"Ryosuke called me just now, saying that there is a traffic jam on the road and he may be late."

As soon as Mizusawa finished speaking, Yamazaki Ryosuke, who was dressed in a fancy dress, walked in, still with eye-catching blond hair, full of arrogance, "Sorry, I'm late."

Different from other people, Yamazaki, who inherited the family business, has a strong sense of quackery, and it is particularly awkward sitting among the crowd at the moment, but obviously everyone doesn't care about this.

Yamazaki first greeted Kaoru, and then said a few words to his brother-in-law Sakuragi Hanamichi, before he began to gossip with everyone, "Do you know who I met on the way here just now?"

"Who?"

"Zebei, Zebei Eiji." Yamazaki enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of everyone's attention.

When Zebei was mentioned, Kaoru and Rukawa immediately became interested, "How is Zebei doing recently?"

Regarding this point, Mitsui, who is in the college basketball world, obviously has more say, "Oh~~ You may not know it in the United States. A few years ago, after Zebei returned to Japan, he opened a youth basketball training center. In recent years, It has developed very well and has cultivated many excellent players.”

Knowing that Zebei didn't get slumped because of the NBA incident, Kaoru was sincerely happy for him, as expected no matter where the strong fell down, they would stand up again.

Starting from the incident of Zebei, everyone chatted about everyone's current situation and some interesting things from the past. Time seemed to return to the youthful youth full of blood and youth. Those green past events are not something that can be erased by time. Hidden deep in the hearts of everyone, it will always shine with a charming brilliance, and it is a treasure of a lifetime.

When I came out of the ramen shop, it was still early, Kaoru suddenly said to Rukawa, "Maede, I really want to go to a place now."

"Ok?"

……

Kaoru placed a large handful of sunflowers in front of Hiiragi's tomb, and the boy in the photo engraved on the tombstone seemed to be staring at her affectionately, just like before.

In the photo, the appearance of the young man Qingjun has not changed at all, his time seems to be frozen at the most beautiful age forever, but the time between her and Feng is slowly passing by.

"Hiragi, we came to see you." Although she was able to talk eloquently to Xiyuan Temple, perhaps only Kaoru knew what was going on in her heart.

While cleaning up the cemetery, Rukawa told Hiiragi what happened over the years, things about the NBA, things about his family, and his and Kaoru's children.

Compared with Kaoru's sensibility, Rukawa is obviously more practical, as if his twin brother has always been by his side.

The two chatted for a while in front of Hiiragi's tomb, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Rukawa stretched out his hand to Kaoru, "Kun, go home."

"Yeah." Looking at Hiiragi's photo for the last time, Kaoru put his hand in Rukawa's.

Hiiragi, we are doing well, how are you doing in heaven...

When the two left the cemetery hand in hand, a beam of sunlight broke through the thick clouds and shone on a tombstone. The faint golden light had a warm color, which made people feel full of hope for the future...
