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

What does the aftermath of that annual event look like?

Midori had no memory of it at all.

When he followed Takao out of the bathroom, the guy who was still wailing on the ground outside had already run away, but as long as he wanted to look for it, he could always find the person responsible.

Sending a text message to Akashi, Midorima sent Takao to the backstage, of course, he was not allowed to enter.

Then he stood on the observation deck on the top floor of the building, and he stood there all night.

And then later... with the help of Akashi, he found out the main messenger, who seemed to be a second-rate artist whose role was squeezed out by Takao, and then he was blocked and suppressed in many ways as a matter of course.Takao spent quite a long time editing and editing the program after filming. When the program was released at the end of the year, everyone forgot about it and missed the broadcast. It is said that the ratings are quite good.

However, the success at that time is almost nothing compared to the current high tail.

From a low-level non-major student to one of the best stars in the industry, Takao Kazunari has put in more effort and sweat than anyone else. The only thing he lacks now is the well-deserved throne.

Tonight, the Japan Cherry Blossom Awards, which is an authority in the domestic film and television industry, will be held soon. As the most authoritative award in Japan at present, it is also the last peak that Takao will climb.

If he succeeds, he will become the true king of the new era.

And Takao is bound to succeed.

He raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was 8:15.

Midorima got into the car, started the car, and turned on the car radio first.

"...Ms. Mizuiro Sachiko became famous after she starred in last year's hit love movie "Rainbow Sky". In the film, she conquered many audiences with her sweet smile, lovely voice and unique thoughtfulness of a little woman ... What is coming to us at this time is - I think everyone knows his name - he made a big splash with the fringe love song directed by Miike when he debuted, and the subsequent "Southern Kingdom", "East Emperor History", Works such as "Killer in the Shadow" have refreshed our eyeballs and box office records time and time again. At the same time, he is also actively entering the world stage, and elegantly interprets the splendor of Orientals in the "Magic World" series. He is—— Kazuari Takao!..."

Shintaro Midorima drove the steering wheel smoothly, and when he heard the name he was thinking of, he couldn't help showing a proud smile subconsciously, and at the same time reached out to turn up the volume of the speaker.

The host's excited voice continued, "...and just now, on the day when the box office of Mr. Takao's latest work "Hello, Murakami" ended on the last day, the final box office figure reached an objective 2.4 million! It has set the highest record in the past 30 years! This is the power of Takao Kazunari, the Pegasus born out of the sky!... Cough cough, so after Mr. Takao, now coming towards us is..."

A series of insipid reports passed. The host seemed to be immersed in the joy of seeing the new star king Takao Kazuari just now. He was a little careless about the following explanation. Midorima turned down his voice again. The street was full of traffic, and he also drove forward quietly. Go, shuttle in the neon world of Tokyo lights and shadows.

How long has it been? More than 1000 days and nights, changing hands is like quicksand dissipating from the fingertips.

In the past three years, Takao Kazunari has worked hard, and so has he.One is running on his own road to superstardom, the other...

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Midorima stopped quietly in front of the red light, shifted the automatic transmission to pause, and then reached out to pick up the phone.

The familiar number has always been full of embarrassing calls in the past three years.

"Hello, mother."

"Shintaro..."

The female voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little older, after all, Shintaro Midorima couldn't bear to suppress the urge to hang up the phone after being perfunctory, and said softly.

"I'm here."

"Shintaro..." It was rare for his son to respond to him gently, and Mrs. Midorima, who was over half a year old, suddenly choked up, "This year... are you coming back?"

All the turning points of the Midorima family started with a phone call from her that day, and then reached a climax when Shintaro Midorima refused in front of the Nanase family. Her husband angrily reprimanded her son, and as the daughter of the family, she Master, but can do nothing.

"I go back every year." Midorima Shintaro paused, "If my father's anger is less this year, maybe I can enter the house again after a long absence."

"...I will persuade your father, and I will persuade him again..." Before the words finished, Mrs. Lujian finally couldn't bear to cry.

She knew that she couldn't persuade her extremely stubborn husband, and she didn't know what she had done wrong so that her family needed to suffer such an accident.

All her pride and hopes are nothing more than a husband who is a little strict but misses the family, an excellent and handsome son with a bright future, and a gentle, considerate, sweet and elegant daughter-in-law in the future, so that her life will be enough.

But why now, it has become such a fragmented appearance?

"Shintaro... Mom, please... Give in to your father! Huh? Even if it's not for me, for your own happiness, your own future... Shintaro... Please, Shintaro..."

Midorima Shintaro slightly removed the earphones, and the red light not far away had turned yellow. He only said a word, and then put the phone on the passenger seat beside him.

"Sorry, mother."

Midorima Shintaro knew his father well, but because of his understanding, he couldn't just admit defeat.

As a traditional Japanese man, his family requirements seriously constrain his family. His wife must be gentle and considerate and knowledgeable, and his son must be outstanding. Midorima believes that his father cares about the family. Yes, but such concern made the family even more suffocated.

When he was a child, every time he saw the laughing classmates happily riding on his father's neck, seeing the doting faces, he turned to look at the special car sent by his father to pick him up and go to school, But my heart is always as empty as that compartment.

Then, when he was little, he had a dream that could not be written in the diary——

In the future, when he grows up, he will be a truly gentle husband and a truly considerate father, different from his father.

The young wish slowly dissipated over time, but such a wish was like a seed, deeply rooted in his heart.

Searching with all his heart and mind, waiting subconsciously, before he realized it, his heart had already found the right person for him.

Oh no, maybe, he hasn't found it yet?

The car parked steadily in the underground parking lot of the auditorium, he turned off the engine, and when he got out of the car, he already had an extra ticket in his hand.

Glancing at my watch, it was five minutes to nine.

"Sir, please turn left after entering the door, and someone will lead you in."

Lu directly took the cut ticket and nodded expressionlessly.

Cheers could be vaguely heard in the arena. For such an annual event, Midorima knew that there were still countless pairs of eyes watching this place in front of the TV. Perhaps many overseas media and ordinary people were also paying attention to this place.

At such a time, at such a place, a new generation of thrones is about to rise.

Shintaro Midorima suddenly seemed to stand on the championship field of the college basketball league again. In the national arena, under the more blazing lights, they won the first national trophy after the miraculous reunion. The miracles couldn't help but burst into tears.

There was no Takao on the podium that day. Instead, there was a special ticket for the Sakura Awards.

You're really confident, Takao.

A challenge book for me on my stage?Interesting, let an emperor condescend to watch your "performance"?Where do you get your confidence from!

"Takao-kun didn't even give it to us." Kuroko's blue eyes stared at the ticket in Midorima's hand, "That's the Sakura Award."

"Sakura Award... what is that?" Kagami, who was waving excitedly around, asked in a hurry, and then bared his teeth and yelled at the crowded audience on the stage.

As usual, Aomine raised his chin contemptuously, "That's the highest throne in the entertainment industry, idiot—"

"What! Qingfeng, do you want to be taught a lesson by me again!" Vulcan Taiga was instantly ignited, glared at Qingfeng Dahui, and pretended to block the cap, "This time I will definitely not find you—" -Well!"

Seeing the constipated painful look on Vulcan's face, everyone immediately turned to Heizi, who met his innocent eyes.

This black belly!

"Speaking of which, is Midori-kun going?" Heizi stretched out his hand, pointing to Kise who was languid because he only participated in the last 10 minutes of the game, "I remember Kise-kun wants it too."

Aomine looked sideways, "Huh? Kise is also in that circle, how come there is no ticket for the Cherry Blossom Award?"

"Crack, crack...Xiao Qing, you are wrong...Crack, crack...Xiao Huang is a model...No one gave him a ticket...Crack, crack..."

"Ah, so it's just a model."

"Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean by being just a model, you bastard Dahui! According to my seniority, I'm a senior! Senior!"

"Even if you are a senior, you have to bravely admit that you are not as good as a junior, Kise-kun."

"Hey... Even the little Heizi looks good..."

Midorima Shintaro looked at his companion who was starting to convulse again, and turned his head calmly.

"You look very happy, Shintaro." Akashi, who also ignored those people, held the trophy in his hand, and his calm indifference seemed particularly different in the entire venue that was full of chaos, "This time, you have to walk out of the last Is it a step?"

"This kind of thing..." Midorima Shintaro frowned, and opened his mouth when the atmosphere of the venue reached its peak again.

"Who knows..."

Walking through the long curved corridor, the sloping walkway seemed to sink into the ground, and Midorima felt that it seemed like a distance that could never be covered in a lifetime.

In front of the throne, there is always the end of the stairs. Everyone has a different view in their eyes. Shintaro Midorima has also climbed for a long time. For him, it is not a beautiful journey worthy of attention. I walked a long way without knowing it.

The old man said that the most painful thing is not chasing, but the loneliness and hardship of having to walk alone.

The green room is used to the taste of loneliness, the urgency of being chased by others, and the world of one person, such a quiet space without a trace of outside wind, empty but vicissitudes.

And now, completely different.

A new sense of tension, a new fluctuating heartbeat, a new feeling of wanting to retreat from worrying about changing clothes.

He regretted a little, regretted that he shouldn't have taken the throne as a premise, so that he couldn't even imagine what he would have done if Takao hadn't stepped onto that high platform and shown that familiar smile again.

The emperor promises a thousand gold, backtracking... Doesn't seem so good?

So Takao, you have to put on a show!It's not in vain for your efforts to argue with me over the years.

Midorima's palms were gradually sweating, and the hostess lady from a distance saw Midorima Shintaro approaching, and after checking the ticket, she went forward thoughtfully to help him open the door.

"Wait!" Midorima suddenly stretched out her hand and stopped the Miss Manners, "Wait...wait..."

Doubt appeared on Qingli's face, Miss Etiquette, "But... sir, the awards ceremony has already begun."

"I know, but..."

Luma was silent, her eyes were fixed on the crack of the door in front of her, and the lady welcoming at the side hesitated for a while, afraid to say anything more.

His heart was beating rapidly, and the blood in his blood was rushing faster than that of basketball.

Over the years, he and Takao have kept a close distance, and he gradually understands the meaning of Takao's original refusal.

He may love himself, but he absolutely disdains his charity.

interesting.

The young man who was bluffing behind him back then has also grown into what he is today.

Suddenly, it became quiet inside, and the host's voice could be heard faintly.

"Then, this year's Sakura Awards for Best Actor is—"

"Bang——" Shintaro Midorima suddenly stepped forward and pushed the door open. The movement made the door hit the walls on both sides directly. Many spectators nearby looked back in surprise, but Midorima still kept his eyes on the door. Staring at the stage with burning eyes.

The moment he pushed the door, there was a momentary emptiness in his ears, and then the burst of warm applause from the audience overwhelmed his reason. He only saw a familiar face with different expressions on the huge screen. The anger seemed to be angry, and then it all turned into the young man who was sitting in the front row, smiling and looking at the camera.

Takao Kazuari!

It's Kazunari Takao!

It's you!

You finally did it!

The host's voice sounded again.

"That's right, the Best Actor of this year's Cherry Blossom Awards is none other than our new star - Kazuari Takao!"

Takao slowly walked up to the podium, his back was still straight, but the hand that grabbed the supporter's microphone forcefully showed the trembling in his heart.

"I'm sorry Joy-sang, I'm sorry about your microphone, I'll return it to you later..." There was a good-natured laugh on the field.

"But at this moment... at this moment I... I don't know what to say... so many people who want to thank, many people who want to be grateful... but there is only one sentence, only this sentence... I must say it immediately—"

Takao's unusual behavior caused the lively scene to gradually quiet down. Midorima's eyes did not stay on the magnified screen behind him, but fixedly stared at the person standing on the stage, and his heart beat unconsciously.

Takao took a step forward and suddenly looked in Midorima's direction.

"Hey, this time, you will be my driver instead!"

The author has something to say:

I wanted to end it with a bang, but...

wish happiness~
