[Liuhua Tongren] I really want to say I love you loudly

Like all the vulgar routines in the past, although it was just a few simple words, Sakuragi didn't understand clearly, and Rukawa didn't intend to repeat it.

The cold wind calmed him down a bit, he pursed his lips, and pulled Sakuragi into the house without saying a word.

Sniffing the smell of tatami, Sakuragi found that he guessed everything about Rukawa wrong.

In his impression, a bad-tempered bastard like Rukawa who likes to show off and pretend to be cold must live in a stone house made of cold marble tiles. The home is full of various modern high-tech elements, and The kind of robot nanny that can automatically clean, wash and cook, etc.

But when he stepped on the tatami mat made of rush and immersed in the soft yellow light, he realized that the distance between him and Rukawa was not only separated by the words "unreachable". generalize.

It's nine o'clock in the evening, and Rukawa's parents still haven't come back.

"They are all abroad. This is my grandmother's house. She went back to Izumo to visit friends last month."

"I don't want to know about you today!"

Twisting his neck awkwardly, Sakuragi muttered a rebuttal, like a long-established habit, if one day he suddenly spoke kindly to that cunning fox Rukawa, it would make him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Idiot..." After a brief silence, there was a flat tone. Rukawa looked at Sakuragi, and there seemed to be a golden streamer turning in his black eyes. When he looked carefully, it was just the reflection of the light in his black eyes.

"I'm going back today!" Suddenly turned around and rushed out the door, Sakuragi closed the door behind him with a "bang", blocked Rukawa's words behind the door, and refused to listen.

Looking at the slightly trembling door panel, Rukawa stretched out his hand to caress it, and moved his thin lips after a while: "Big idiot, you will become even more stupid if you stay outside."

"Who said I was outside today!!"

A small but familiar roar came from outside the door, Rukawa's eyebrows suddenly moved, and the corners of his lips pulled out a touch of emotion with almost no curvature.

"The door is not locked, go or stay, it's up to you to decide."

"Bastard fox!" In a rage, he turned the doorknob violently. Sakuragi was about to get angry, but found that there was nothing in front of him, and the person who made him angry had long since disappeared.

In the end, Sakuragi still didn't stay at Rukawa's house.

It is undeniable that looking at the empty living room, Rukawa has once again learned a new emotion: disappointment.

Originally, he thought that he was already used to going to school alone, eating alone, and spending all the anniversaries alone, but all these habits were just an illusion formed before meeting Sakuragi.

The development of the facts was not as smooth as he imagined.

Most of the time, it's just him hypnotizing himself against all objects that can reflect light.

Over time, the paralysis gradually turned into numbness.

Until I started to play basketball and met Sakuragi.

The memory was interrupted by a sudden shout, Rukawa opened the door, and the narrow eye sockets opened at a slight angle.

"This genius is only here to return the bicycle, you weak fox don't need to thank this genius!" Sakuragi folded his arms and held his head high.

He came too early, and even though the street lights had been extinguished, the sun was still reluctant to rise from the horizon.

It was very dark, but there was a warm light gathered in front of Rukawa's house.

Against the light, Sakuragi couldn't see the expression on Rukawa's face.

Against the light, Rukawa could only see the straight line of Sakuragi's jaw.

"Big idiot...there's another one at home."

"Bastard! Bastard! How could I know this today!!"

Seeing that Sakuragi's neck turned slightly warm pink, Rukawa leaned against the door frame and stretched his arms out of the door, his tone became lazy.

"Just put it outside."

"Smelly fox! You want to fight!"

"Since you're here, let's have breakfast together."

"Today I won't believe the nonsense of you, a cunning fox! If you eat something from your house, you might have vomiting and diarrhea for seven days and seven nights!!"

Unceremoniously rejecting Rukawa's invitation, Sakuragi once again fell into his fantasy.But before he finished speaking, a series of "cuckoo" sounded very inappropriately, which made the already stiff atmosphere change again and again.

"Your body is much more honest than your mouth." Shrugging, Rukawa turned and walked into the house without saying another word.Perhaps it was because of this that Sakuragi, who was furious and flushed, rushed in after him.

Staring at the milk and bread on the table, Sakuragi was suddenly speechless.

That bastard fox must have cast some spells on him, right? !

This was Sakuragi's first reaction to milk and bread.

He waved his hands and touched the chest and the back, until he thoroughly confirmed that there were no strange changes in his body, and then he looked at the expressionless Rukawa who was sitting in front of the dining table.

The orange light is like flowing golden sand, covering his pitch-black figure with a hazy veil, blending softness and alienation into the same picture without making people feel abrupt.

This is Rukawa.

Offensive like a ghost, persistent like a demon.

The body preceded the consciousness. When Sakuragi came back to his senses, he had already drank a large box of milk and ate a large piece of bread.

"Anyway, this genius won't eat and drink for free!" Staring at Rukawa, Sakuragi solemnly raised his right hand in front of his eyes, using his thumb and index finger to make a fairly small distance.

"Today's practice, I will consider releasing the water a little bit today."

Seeing Sakuragi's serious and proud appearance, Rukawa glanced at him indifferently, then walked up to him and opened his thin lips: "What an idiot, do you have to make me clear to understand? I like you .”

**

"I like you."

This is the first time Sakuragi has been confessed to in his best years, and the object of the confession is still the biggest enemy in his life.

"boom!"

The pain in front of the forehead was accompanied by the buzzing of the cochlea, Rukawa only felt his eyes sway, followed by the sound of the door panel hitting the door frame, very resolute and decisive.

Holding the small bulge slightly protruding on his forehead, Rukawa stared at the door and stood there for a long time.

Sakuragi didn't miss the training in the morning, but the hostility towards Rukawa seemed to be more hostile than before, and it didn't become quiet until the angry Miyagi sent him to stand outside the field.

"Sakuragi-san, you seem to be very angry with Rukawa today."

Haruko's voice sounded beside her, Sakuragi was stunned, her face froze.Turn your head away from looking at her.

"Sakuragi-san, aren't you and Rukawa-san teammates?" Although Haruko was talking to Sakuragi who was doing basic exercises, her eyes kept following the black-haired boy on the field.

"Rukawa-san, although he looks cold, but I know that he is the one who cares about Sakuragi-san in the whole team."

The speed of dribbling became faster and faster, and the anger on Sakuragi's face became more and more inflated with the speed of dribbling.

"Sakuragi-san..." Suddenly shifting her gaze to Sakuragi, Haruko showed him a gentle smile. "My brother once said that the two of you will become a super partner. I believe in my brother's vision, and I also believe in you. So, please, you must get along well in the future!"

I don't know if it was because Haruko's smile was too warm, or because of Rukawa's confession, Sakuragi's hands suddenly let go, and the basketball flew far away. He looked at her and murmured a word, which he didn't understand clearly. Haruko didn't hear clearly either.

"Oops!" As if suddenly regaining consciousness, Sakuragi suddenly yelled, and ran towards the basketball that had rolled far away.Behind him, Haruko's eyes suddenly trembled as she looked over, covered with a layer of mist.

"Boss! Another bowl!"

As the winter trials approached, the training intensity of the Xiangbei basketball team was even higher than before. Although coach Anxi only ordered Sakuragi to do the most basic intensive training, seeing the teammates around him sweating and panting, Sakuragi's Mood, more anxious than anyone else.

Sitting in the ramen restaurant, he held up an empty bowl and yelled loudly, but he had an extremely serious expression on his face.

"Hanadao, you just recovered from your injury, is it really okay to work so hard?" Yohei on the side supported his chin with one hand, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

The eyes he looked at Sakuragi were always faint, just like his tone of voice, and there was always no emotion to be heard, but it always seemed to reveal an innate intimacy.

A series of intense "suction" sounds came from his ears again, Yohei smiled and wiped away the splashed soup on his cheeks, then stood up from his seat.

"I have to work later, so I won't accompany you."

Sakuragi responded with a gulp, and Sakuragi, who was still burying her head in eating noodles, did not notice the change in Yohei's expression.

Seeing the handsome figure appearing at the door of the noodle shop, Yang Ping frowned slightly, and then walked forward.

Most of his impression of Rukawa comes from Sakuragi, and only a small part comes from watching the stadium.

As if aware of Yohei's gaze, Rukawa only cast an understated glance at him, flying like a kingfisher across the water.

What a cool guy.

Raising eyebrows, Yohei and Rukawa passed by.As he walked past him, he saw the way he looked at Sakuragi.

Hot, persistent, and a kind of arrogant arrogance.

Well, in retrospect, it's a bit like Sakuragi's eyes when talking about that guy.

Leave it alone like this, with Huadao's fiery temper, nothing will happen, right?

perhaps……

Thinking like this, Yohei hesitated a bit, but he still walked out of the noodle shop.

It's also fun to have those two guys together once in a while.

Perhaps because he was concerned about Sakuragi, Yohei didn't notice a figure walking towards him.

"Sorry... eh, it's sunny..."

Hitting the figure approaching, Yanghei quickly apologized, but then made a slightly surprised sound.

"Hush..." Putting her index finger in front of her lips, Akagi Haruko gave Yohei a "please" expression.

Seeing this, Yang Ping was very cooperative and didn't make any more noise, but a feeling of helplessness began to grow in his heart.

Although he didn't know the reason why Akagi Haruko appeared here, he knew very well that in all likelihood, he wouldn't be able to go to this afternoon's part-time job.

Now, do you want to think about how to ask the store manager for leave?

Thinking like this, Yohei curled his lips and glanced at the two people in the ramen restaurant with their backs to him.

Akagi Haruko, probably, came because of that guy...

"Boss! Today's debts are all on this person's head!" Putting down the bowl with a heavy sound, Sakuragi pointed at Rukawa with his chopsticks without lifting it up. It seemed that he didn't intend to give him any chance to speak.

After finishing speaking, Sakuragi stood up and left. Although Rukawa wanted to follow, he had to settle all of Sakuragi's credit before he had the chance to step out of the ramen shop.But he had just escaped from the ramen shop, but was stopped by Akagi Haruko.

"Student Rukawa, there is something I must tell you!"

"..." He glanced at Akagi Haruko briefly, although Rukawa was very reluctant, but he still stood still, looking down at the girl who was blushing like a tomato in front of him.

Yohei, who was walking towards Sakuragi, turned around and looked at the two of them, raising his eyebrows.

really……

But is that really okay?

Turning his gaze back to Sakuragi, Yohei shrugged and stepped forward to speak.

"Hey, I don't think you should hide here. If you don't stop those two people, she will be hurt."

"Injured? How could the bastard fox be injured?"

hey hey...

Hearing Sakuragi's almost reflexive answer, Yohei frowned, and then quickly relaxed it.

"Hey! Don't look at Ben Genius like that!"

He let out a low growl to Yohei who showed a look of "I knew it was like this", and two blushes quickly flashed across Sakuragi's cheeks. Although it didn't last long, it made people watching feel very funny.

What a simple guy...

"Like Rukawa, I'm afraid Ms. Haruko will be hurt..." Talking to himself, Yohei moved his eyes from Sakuragi to the two standing in front of the ramen shop, with a thoughtful tone in his mouth .

"Ah! Oops!" Hearing Yohei's words, Sakuragi yelled as if suddenly reacting, and then quickly ran towards the two of them.

"Ahahaha, what a coincidence! Miss Haruko!"

"Sakura, Sakuragi-san?"

Seeing Akagi Haruko's slightly startled look, Sakuragi smiled so hard that her broad shoulders shrugged.

"Hahaha, Miss Haruko, this person, lend me!" Laughing, Sakuragi stretched out his hand without hesitation to hook Rukawa's neck, and forcibly dragged him away from Akagi Haruko.

Watching Sakuragi, who came out halfway, drag Rukawa away from her face, Akagi Haruko stared at the backs of the two wrestlers for a while in a daze, and then suddenly seemed to breathe a sigh of relief with her hand. He stroked his chest.

Fortunately, Sakuragi appeared, otherwise, she really didn't know how to speak to Rukawa.

Looking at the end of the road, Akagi Haruko breathed a sigh of relief.

It really takes a lot of courage to confess, at least for now, she hasn't accumulated enough strength.

The matter was settled smoothly?perhaps.

On the way to work, Yohei thought so.

Although he has been worried for a while, it seems that Akagi Haruko has not noticed the subtle changes in the relationship between the two guys.

fair enough.

Standing downstairs in her apartment, Sakuragi desperately wiped her hands on the telephone pole.

"Damn it! If it wasn't for Ms. Haruko! I wouldn't touch you today!" Shouting loudly at the telephone pole, the movements of Sakuragi's hands also accelerated with the speed of his speech.Suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and stared at Rukawa standing behind him without saying a word, his amber eyes narrowed into two small slits, as if the light of genius wisdom flowed out.

He...he seems to have dragged Rukawa downstairs to his house...

"Haruko?...is Captain Akagi's younger sister?" Rukawa stared at Sakuragi with a calm tone, but his eyes were sharper than ever.

"So what! You bastard fox, don't even think about Miss Haruko!"

"you like her?"

"like!"

After the solemn oath-like roar without thinking, there was a long silence. For a while, neither Rukawa nor Sakuragi made any sound.

"Today I like Miss Haruko! So if you dare to do anything to hurt her, you bastard, I will never let you go!"

Sakuragi's fast roar broke the calmness, and also made his beating heart reach the limit speed that his body could bear.

He has never been so flustered, even if the person standing in front of him is Akagi Haruko.

With a "bang" the door closed behind him, Sakuragi gasped heavily.

What he likes is Haruko... it's Haruko...

Or... Rukawa Kaede, that bastard fox...?
