[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

Let go of the cold wind of severe winter and welcome the warmth of early spring.From the blooming of spring cherry blossoms in Kanto to the end of the fragrance of late cherry blossoms.Time did not stop its pace because of people's expectations.

In the new semester in April, Luoshan High School ushered in a group of freshmen, and the former first-year students were also promoted to the second grade, becoming the seniors and sisters of the freshmen.And the lively campus life also started in a new round of club recruitment, which seems to have become one of the annual recurring activities, and it does not change every year.

Of course, the unchanging enrollment of freshmen also has its benefits, especially for the boys who are promoted to the second and third grades, the newly enrolled first-year girls give them many more goals to pursue.It's a pity that their expectations completely disappeared after only a week, and the focus of those girls has shifted to last year's two popular kings.

The opponent was the pair of cousins, and everyone gave up.However, the people who were followed by the freshmen did not respond at all, and each lived their own campus life.Some people pursued, ignored, some confessed, and politely refused. This is how Akashi and Naoki survived for three months, ushering in the moment they didn't want to face.

At that time, it was the time when hydrangeas bloomed most brilliantly, and the summer heat wave had arrived in Kyoto. At the same time, the arrival of summer vacation also made the students in Luoshan very excited.However, before the official holiday, the regular school assembly will still be held as scheduled. Unlike previous years, today's school assembly is very special. In addition to the lecture session by the principal and dean, it will also be held for the first batch of early graduates of Luoshan High School graduation.

For such an arrangement, both the students and the school are very much in favor of it.

Because high school graduation ceremonies are indispensable in important festivals in life, so even if there are only five people graduating, the graduation ceremony must be held as usual and cannot be missed.For this reason, even the dean, who likes long speeches, changed his old style and wisely ended his speech early to make concessions for the next link.

This method of handling was very appropriate. In less than 5 minutes, the graduation ceremony officially began under the auspices of the principal.

Five graduates in kimonos stepped onto the stage one after another and took a seat behind the principal. Then, they will take turns to go forward in order to receive their graduation certificates.

Saya sat in the seat on the farthest side, but her mind was not on the graduation ceremony, especially when she was waiting for the principal's roll call, she still felt restless and depressed.But in order for the whole ceremony to be completed smoothly, she still took a deep breath, and withdrew her wandering gaze from the audience, but she never expected that she just saw the figure that reassured her.

"Shaye?"

Sensing the gaze from the stage, Akashi also raised his head to meet Saya's gaze.Today was originally a happy day, but Akashi found that there was no smile on Saya's face.He knew very well that she felt the same way as him, that she didn't want to continue according to the original plan, but the reality didn't allow them to be willful at all. If he and she wanted to be together, they had to go beyond the elders. obstacles set up.

"It's important to complete the graduation ceremony first."

Akashi was sitting very close to the stage, even if he didn't make a sound, he could let Saya on the stage know what he wanted to say just by using his lips.This method was very effective. Saya on the stage received his encouragement, and her expression calmed down. After a while, she was able to walk in front of the principal with a smile on her face, ready to receive the graduation certificate.

"Congratulations, Hashimoto Saya, you have graduated from Luoshan High School. I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve better results in college."

After listening to the principal's congratulatory words, Saya bowed deeply to express his gratitude.Then, she stretched out her hand and took the graduation certificate issued by the principal, bringing the graduation ceremony to a close.

With applause from the audience, the graduation ceremony for the five graduates came to an end. The next part was the safety instructions that Mr. Principal must say before the annual holiday. This made the students lose interest and yawn again and again. However, they Still sitting quietly in the seat, waiting for the end of the school meeting.

A speech of several minutes sounds short, but it is actually very long.In the end, Mr. Principal ignored everyone's ears and finished the routine safety instructions. When he officially announced that the school assembly was over and all teachers and students could disband and leave, the students really breathed a sigh of relief.

However, although the school assembly was over, some students did not leave immediately. According to the practice of the graduation ceremony, some went to take photos with the graduated students, and some asked the graduates who were admitted to Dongda University to ask for lucky pencils.This lively scene immediately frightened the graduates, not to mention going back to the classroom to get pencils, they were already surrounded by juniors and couldn't leave at all.

Some people at the scene were heavily surrounded, and some were able to retreat without being noticed.

Saya met this good luck. Not long after the meeting ended, she was pushed aside by the rushing crowd. Later, in the chaos, Akashi rushed to the stage and quickly pulled her aside and led her away from the noisy crowd.

"Come here, Saya, I'll take you out of here immediately." Akashi squatted down, motioning for Saya to climb his back so that he could carry her on his back and quickly leave the gymnasium.

"You want to carry me? This..."

At first, Saya felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't change her mind until she saw the horror of the four people being besieged. She asked Akashi to carry her on his back and walked quickly towards the back gate of the school.

"Ah, Hashimoto-senpai, you can't go, you haven't told us the secret to getting into Keio University!"

When someone realizes that there is an important person missing from the scene, it is already too late, and the younger generations are destined to lose one person who wants to hold a pencil.In addition, there are tall men from the basketball team blocking the way at the exit of the venue, and it is even more impossible for them to chase the fleeing Saya. They can only watch Lingyang and Kotaro shout loudly to the distant figure——

"Akashi, for the national competition in August, remember to gather at the old location in Tokyo, you must be there!" This is what Kotaro wants to confess.

"Xiaozheng, there is Xiaoshan Festival tonight, you and Saya don't miss it, it's a good place to hang out!" Ling Yang is still the same, loves to worry, and even reminds the younger generation about the date place.

Can Saya and Akashi who left hear Lingyang's words?

*****

In fact, Reo didn't need to deliberately remind Akashi to know that the biggest summer festival in Kyoto is the month-long Gion Festival.Among them, the two days of Xiaoshan Eve Festival and Parade Day are the most lively.

According to the arrangement of the basketball department, there will still be uninterrupted department activities in July.Last year, Akashi and Saya missed the Gion Festival because they were preparing for the national competition.Therefore, this summer, Akashi delayed his return to Tokyo and stayed in Kyoto in July. After the Gion Festival, he returned to Tokyo to participate in the national competition.

For this reason, he arranged relevant matters in advance, and even the Hashimoto family also greeted him first.Unexpectedly, when the two elders heard that they were going to visit the festival, they hurriedly smiled and took out the two sets of bathrobes they had made earlier in the morning, and handed them to him, asking them to have fun and not rush home.

As for the two old people, they will not be idle either. They have already attended the banquet at the invitation of the management committee of the commercial street, and they will arrive home very late at night. Therefore, the young people can only trouble the young people to move to Kagawa for dinner. A couple of lovers get ready for a feast.

Now that the elders have made preparations, Akashi naturally can't postpone it temporarily, and can only accept the elders' wishes on behalf of Saya.

Putting on a new yukata in the other room of Hashimoto's house, Akashi sat in the living room drinking oolong tea and watching the live broadcast of the festival on the TV news.As he had imagined, there were many people participating in the eve festival today, and only a dark crowd could be seen at the scene, slowly moving around the mikoshi.As dusk fades away and night approaches, the koma-shaped lanterns on the street are gradually lit up, indicating that the night activities of the festival are about to begin.

"Seijuro, take a look, look, Saya is very beautiful after dressing up."

While Akashi was sitting bored in the living room waiting for someone, Reina, who was helping in the bedroom, had brought Saya out, and showed off her masterpiece to her cousin.

"Saya, you are really beautiful, that yukata suits you very well." Ignoring the cousin who was waiting to be praised, Akashi got up and walked towards Saya, pulling her to his side, and then he turned his gaze to the cousin, With a stern face, he warned softly: "Cousin, don't teach Saya badly, go back and learn your bridal lessons obediently."

"Don't worry, I don't have time to be a light bulb today, and I have to go on a date later." Thinking of the date with someone at night, Li Nai couldn't help her heart beat faster and her face turned red, but despite being happy, she still hasn't forgotten She came to Kyoto for another mission, so she hurriedly said to Akashi: "By the way, boy, your father sent a graduation gift to Saya, and you must remember to give it to Saya in person later. There must be no mistakes."

Gift?Hearing what Reina said was so mysterious, the person who was given the gift was still at a loss as to what the gift was.It was Akashi who knew this well. He knew that the graduation gift his father gave Saya was a very precious thing, and being willing to give it up to Saya also meant that she had gained the approval of her elders, and she could Successfully entered Akashi's house.

"I see. Tomorrow I will personally call and thank Dad."

On today's important day, Akashi felt very relieved that his father could express his opinion.Now that the gift has been sent to Kagawa, he can accompany Saya to the festival venue at night with peace of mind.

"Then I wish you a happy date first, and if you don't go home at night, remember to tell me in advance."

Lina smiled evilly, as if she was looking forward to the development of the two people in a natural way. Who told her that her expectation is also the wish of the elders. If the two people can really settle the relationship, the elders can also Take it easy.

"Cousin, don't forget, I haven't reached the agreed age yet, the things you said are impossible to happen."

Akashi's words were like a basin of cold water, quickly extinguishing Reina's expectations.Speaking of the age agreement, it was enough for him to be depressed for a long time, but considering the situation of the two parties, he was also glad that there was an agreement, which could help him restrain the desire in his body all the time.

"Then I can only say that enduring for too long is not good for your health. You can figure it out yourself. Don't lose control tonight."

"The latter sentence is omitted, my body can bear it, so you don't have to worry!"

Suppressing the red tide that was about to rush to his face, Akashi took Saya and left Hashimoto's house.At that time, there happened to be a procession carrying mikoshi nearby, which made people very excited, and they followed the procession and headed towards the festival site.

The author has something to say: Khan, the ending is too long, so I have to divide it into two parts.
