[Black Basket] Give me a chance to say I love you

When the hour hand on the wall passed 8 o'clock, Akashi's flat voice sounded again in the gymnasium.

"This is the end of today's training, and it will continue tomorrow morning."

"……Yes!"

"Everyone has worked hard~"

Midorima panted and walked to the sidelines, looked at the towel handed over by Momoi and hesitated for a moment.

"Where's Takao?"

"Eh?" Momoi, who was smiling and handing everyone a towel, was suddenly asked by Midorima in front of him, and he couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then replied with a mischievous smile, "Takao-kun asked for leave~ But, I guess, there is a situation It's gone~"

"Hey, does Takao have a girlfriend? Why didn't I know!" Suddenly feeling the taste of adultery, Kise who was still pouring water at the side immediately moved over excitedly, "I haven't seen you for a few days Takao, I finally came to practice today, but little Takao went behind my back! What kind of person is he?"

Seeing the curious eyes of everyone around him, Momoi blinked, and said mysteriously, "You're thin, you look quite small, and you're still wearing a high school uniform, which school are you from... Anyway, I didn't expect Takao Jun actually likes girls with that kind of style, but the relationship between the two of them seems to be very good, she ran over specially in the morning, but she didn't dare to disturb the training~ I feel very shy~"

"Hey..." Zi Yuan, who rarely came to listen to gossip, tilted his head, and suddenly looked towards Lu Jian, "Is Lu Qin's follower abandoning Lu Qin?"

"It's actually a girl from the shy goddess type... No matter how I think Takao's girlfriend should be..." Kagami also seemed to be thinking, subconsciously moved his eyes to Midorima, and then seemed to think of something, suddenly Shaking a bit, he shifted his eyes away guiltily.

"It feels like Momoi-san made it up." Thinking of something, Kuroko Tetsu also lifted Vulcan's arm from his shoulder, and turned to the locker room without interest.

"Yes, yes, if that guy Takao who always loves to show off really has a girlfriend, why would he show it off in front of everyone?"

Thinking about it this way, the excitement of the group of people who were still a little bit lessened immediately by two points.

"Really, Tetsu-kun, how could I lie!" Momoi pouted unhappily, then remembered something, and suddenly shouted to Akashi on the other side, "Hey, in the morning, Akashi-kun Didn't you see it too, and asked me to tell Takao-kun about the girl's visit?"

Eh, Akashi knows too?

The people who originally wanted to disperse stopped again, and looked closely at Akashi on the sidelines.

"Ah..." Probably because he didn't expect that the topic would suddenly be thrown on his head, Akashi inadvertently glanced at Momoi, then inadvertently at Midorima, and suddenly had a thought.

"Well, I see, it's still Shintaro's school girl, if I remember correctly, her name is Nanase Orange."

"Eh?! It's true!"

"Akashi-kun has testified, so it should be true, right?"

For a while, everyone was talking about it, but Midorima Shintaro, who was still watching by Akashi, still stood in a daze, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words just now, while Kuroko, who knew something about the inside story, looked worriedly The two of them, thinking about what Takao said the other night, became more and more uneasy.

"Nanase Orange...isn't that..." Thinking of the words he had heard before, Kise, who had deliberately forgotten, finally approached Heizi and asked in a low voice, but was blocked by Heizi's eyes and did not finish. if.

"What's the matter, Shintaro, what do you want to say?" Akashi spoke first.

"No...it's nothing...it's just..." Midorima Shintaro was uncharacteristically calm and rational, and he spoke incoherently, "I'm just surprised... I didn't expect Takao and Nanase..."

Akashi didn't respond, just looked at Midorima with a puzzled look, until he regained his superficial calm again.

"No, nothing happened."

"That's good." After saying that, Akashi picked up the water bottle at the side, turned around and walked towards the locker room.

"It looks so pitiful, Midorima." Still clasping Kuroko's shoulders, Kise leaned into Kuroko's ear and said, "Obviously Kotakao likes Midorima, Akashi...why does it seem like it's on purpose? Did you say that? Hey...Little Heizi, you hit me again..."

Heizi who routinely gave Kiseko a turn turned around expressionlessly, and also walked towards the locker room, leaving only a faint reminder.

"Akashi-kun always has a reason for doing things, and it's better for Kise-kun not to interfere too much."

If you don't interfere, don't you just let nature take its course?

It's just that this is naturally a bit...

Looking at Midorima who was still standing there motionless, Kise seemed to be able to read the word "lost" from Midorima's face.

As before, the sad Takao looking up at the sky.

Thinking of this, Kise still pretended to be casual and walked to Midorima, "Ko Takao's popularity is surprisingly good, but it's true, after all, he has become a new star in acting, and it's not normal that no one likes it. !"

Hearing that Midorima still didn't say a word, she just picked up the kettle in her hand and filled it with water, without paying any attention to Kise.

This idiot, where did all the IQ of his daily studies go!

Kise, who couldn't hide the matter in his heart, couldn't help but itch his teeth in anxiety, and couldn't help but murmured, "Really, who are you showing your wrinkled face to? Takao has an announcement this afternoon , The interviews on the TV station are always troublesome. Isn’t it normal that you can’t keep up? Besides, how can a celebrity fall in love! I think it’s probably that guy called Nanase who has unrequited love It's just Takao, why can't you even see through this...Hey, hey, why are you leaving! I'm kindly trying to persuade you..."

Looking at Kise who was left to jump in the middle of the field, Aomine with black hair couldn't help but angrily said, "That guy..."

"However, Qingfeng-kun don't worry about it now." Heizi who appeared next to Qingfeng who didn't know when looked at Midorima who looked a little better, and there was a hint of ridicule in his clear eyes, "Luma You don't like Kise-kun at all."

"Whispering..." muttered awkwardly, Aomine Daiki turned his face away after all, and then walked towards Kise with disgust, "Kose, come quickly and join me for a one-on-one!"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Heizi's lips, his gaze passed over Kise and Aomine who were quarreling together, and once again turned to Midorima who had approached him and was talking on the phone, and was about to say something when Midorima spoke. Stop the content.

"Oh... um... where?... Oh, I know, I'm going right now... Who am I with?" Midorima casually hung the towel around his neck, and then prepared to change the water bottle to his empty hand There was a sudden pause.

"The Nanase family?"

In the large dining room, the two families sat around the warmly arranged dining table, having a tacit and routine conversation full of hints.

"In a flash, Shintaro has already gone to college, how time flies!" Mrs. Nanase glanced at her husband sitting beside her, and said nonsensical compliments.

"That's right, even Xiaocheng is about to graduate from high school." Mrs. Lujian, who was opposite, praised her without any effort, "She has grown into a beautiful woman."

"Auntie, I'm overwhelmed." Showing a shy smile, Nanase Cheng quietly glanced at Midorima Shintaro who was opposite her. The youngest daughter's delicate posture was fully displayed, causing everyone around to laugh in unison.

"This kid is good-natured and self-cultivated. I really don't know how many boys will chase after him in the future. Is Xiaocheng University planning to go to China or abroad? If he goes abroad, maybe even outstanding young people from abroad will come to visit him. "It can be regarded as a neighbor who has been familiar with for many years, Mrs. Midorima teased affectionately, and at the same time pushed her arm in the direction of Midorima, "Shintaro, what do you think?"

"Ah? Ah..." Midorima Shintaro, who basically didn't say a word, responded casually.

"Hey, Shintaro can say good things. However, regarding the future, girls are no better than boys, so it's better to stay with us." Nodding tacitly, Mrs. Nanase almost followed Midorima directly. The words of the wife continued, "Especially in families who know the basics, they get along more harmoniously."

So, the people at the table laughed tacitly again, as if they were satisfied partners in a business field. The two patriarchs watched the conversation between their wives and looked at each other. After seeing the satisfaction in the eyes of both parties, Then went on to the next topic.

"Speaking of which, Shintaro will soon join the company, right?" Nanase asked, seemingly unintentionally, shaking the wine glass in his hand, "Young people nowadays are really happy, and they have a lot of time to hone their skills. "

Hearing this, the Patriarch of Lujian's face changed slightly, and Mrs. Lujian's face became stiff for a moment. Outsiders didn't know, but she knew clearly that her husband and son were still arguing about joining the company the night before.

Why is it that the children of other people are willing to join their own business early in the morning, but Shintaro is so resistant?

As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. It took only a moment for the Midori and his wife to adjust.

"Ah... yes, I haven't made a complete decision because of my schoolwork. Now that I have gradually settled down after entering university, I still have to go to the company to experience it."

Looking at the people around who greeted each other with smiling faces but didn't know what their intentions were, Shintaro Midorima squeezed his mouth tightly, tilted his head slightly, a faint light reflected from the lens, and put down the tableware in his hand.

"Sorry, I'm full. There's still a game tomorrow. I'm going to make arrangements before the next game."

The atmosphere on the table was a bit stiff. Looking at the back of Midorima Shintaro going upstairs, Nanase Orange, who was sitting opposite, gently put down the spoon in his hand, and said politely and shyly, "I'm full too..."

Mrs. Midorima immediately added, "It's just right, let's go and see Shintaro! You two have been friends since childhood, and now at Shintaro's boarding school, it's rare to see each other every week~"

Nanase nodded, bowed her head in the direction of the parents of both sides, and then got up and walked up the stairs.
