Double AS

Kise walked up to the top floor of his house.As expected, the manager Nakatani was smoking here.

Lie on the railing next to Zhonggu, looking at the same view of the town as her.After Teiko graduated, he almost never came back here.Every alley, every street here, even the convenience store, is filled with the memories of Teiguang's partners—just because of his relationship, everyone who is miraculous has become an enemy.In this year's season, they must have been working hard and waiting to find revenge on themselves and Xiao Qingfeng.

"I didn't expect that the person who made Xiao Miyuki fall in love with me for so many years was my mother---" Kise looked at the once familiar scenery from a distance.The wind blew through his golden hair, and the setting sun thinly inlaid his entire face with a layer of gold.Yingfeng straightened his arms and stretched them out in the wind.

"Did it scare you?" Zhonggu slightly raised the corner of his mouth, but still had the usual expression on his face.The Marblered in his mouth has a strong spicy smell.White smoke drifted into the clouds with the wind.

"I just think... no wonder you understand me and Xiaoqingfeng at a glance."

When his relationship with Qingfeng began to deteriorate, she was the first to notice.The secret that he thought was well hidden was suddenly poked at. Huang Lai remembered that he had forgotten even the idea of ​​​​justifying at that time, and could only admit it blankly.

"Does my mother know?"

"How is it possible?" Zhonggu snorted and laughed. "I have positioned myself very well, so I can keep this feeling for a long time." I have never surpassed in terms of titles, and I have kept such a distance with self-denial, and I will always respect and admire her.

"Isn't it sad that you can only watch from the side?" Kise asked her.But that tone was more like asking himself.

"It will be sad when you step in." Nakatani knew what he was asking. "It's still too late to get out now, but it's hard to go back to the time when nothing happened."

Miyuki Nakatani and Asako Kise.

Aomine Daiki and Kise Ryota.

The love is the same in essence, but because of different choices, they have embarked on completely different paths.

Kise looked at his manager, if he had chosen to let this relationship remain ambiguous, the relationship between him and Qingfeng might be like that between Nakatani and his mother in a few decades.

You can bring your own children, and on a certain holiday afternoon, you can yell and laugh while flipping through old photos.

Keep this feeling in the purest moment forever, no wind and rain can cripple it.

Just when he chose to have a relationship with Qingfeng Daihui, he knew that the two of them would never return to the original point in their lifetime.

Just looking at his face, you will laugh, you will be happy, and the days you can be satisfied will never come back again.

"I want to ask you a simple question, Ryota." Nakatani turned around and leaned against the railing, "Can you imagine what you and Aomine Daiki will look like ten years from now?"

Kise shook his head.

There is no way to imagine what the future will be for two people together──this is just a vague statement.

There is no future between him and Aomine Daiki at all.

The gap between their dreams is too great. Xiao Qingfeng dreams of knocking off the world basketball hall one day, but he vows to shine in front of the spotlight.It is impossible for him to give up half his life's hard work for Qingfeng, and it is impossible for Xiao Qingfeng to give up half his life's dream for himself.

The two of them will part ways one day, and Tonghuang's three years are just to postpone the parting moment.

The time will still come.

"Even if we don't separate now, it will come sooner or later." Kise said.

"Unless you can throw away all of yourself and concentrate on living his life alone—but there is no guarantee that one day he will return to that easier world. The person who will be left after that time... ..."

Zhonggu picked up the cigarette on his mouth and let out a long stretch of white smoke.She didn't go on, but that look said it all.

"How many of Miyuki's friends have left because of this."

"A lot. That's why I don't make friends." She paused, "And let myself live without feelings." For more than 37 years in her life, Nakatani Miyuki has always given people the impression that she is an absolutely calm, completely rational workaholic.She had had girlfriends, none of which lasted long, each of which failed to sustain a relationship.Unsecured feelings lack a sense of security, and the pressure in society is overwhelming—both tangible and intangible.

Compared with illusory feelings, she would rather believe in money and ability.

That's why she kept telling Huang Lai that it's better to manage herself thoroughly than those feelings that don't know which day will disappear.Only you can be with you for the rest of your life.Those passing scenery, although beautiful, will only go away with time.

"Can you imagine senior sister knowing that you are with a man?" Nakatani asked.

Huang Se shook his head.He dare not imagine.

"Then can you imagine that Aomine Daiki's family knows that he is with a man?" Nakatani asked again.

"...As far as I know, it's impossible. Xiao Qingfeng's father is a very prejudiced person." Kise visited Aomine's house before, when he was in the second year of junior high school, when his father saw him immediately He said it right in front of him—"It's disgusting for a boy to have his ears pierced." After finishing speaking, he gave his son a stern look, "Why do you make such sissy friends?"

He remembered that he was completely stunned at that time, with his head down, not daring to speak.Tears swirled desperately in the eyes but did not dare to fall.

"It's his family's business what people do, don't meddle in their own business! Let's go, let's go play ball. Leave him alone." Qingfeng spoke back to his father loudly, and pulled him away without waiting for his father to get angry. Kise's hand ran away.

Afterwards, whenever Kise went to look for Xiao Qingfeng, he would hide in front of his house first to see if his terrible father was there, or ask Xiao Momoi to go in and find out for him first.

"I think... If Uncle Qingfeng knew about me and Xiao Qingfeng...he might break Xiao Qingfeng's leg first..." I have heard Xiaotao say that both Uncle Qingfeng and Xiao Qingfeng have violent tempers, When the father and son argued, even their family could hear it clearly, but Uncle Qingfeng's views were more traditional and his prejudices were deeper.

"That's why I said...you didn't even think about the end first, so you went on impulsively and recklessly, without thinking about the consequences at all. Is it really because of the male hormone?" Miyuki said.

"It's much more difficult for same-sex couples to stay together for a lifetime than ordinary people. I'm not going to hit you. Out of a hundred couples, less than ten will have a good result in the end.

This is not a world that can survive as long as there is love──

He wants to go, you can't keep him at all.

There are other more practical issues──

What if you are old?You will have no children, and even your relatives will be cut off from you.What if you are sick?Even if you have lived with him for the rest of your life, you are still not qualified to sign the first aid consent form, and you are not even qualified to go in and see him for the last time.You can't handle his insurance or his funeral, not even as good as a hired lawyer.

If he dies - all he can leave you with are memories.Other than that, nothing.

...With Aomine Daiki's mind, I don't think he knows this either.He only thinks about the present, not the future.

Without him in your life plan, his life has no plan. "Zhongtani wiped his cheek with his hand, only then did Kise realize that he was crying unknowingly.

"Thank you for always telling me the truth...although it hurts..." He pressed his lips tightly so that the tears could stop for a while, and he thanked her sincerely.Thank her for not supporting him blindly, but telling himself soberly all the time, helping him to tear apart the most difficult part.You know, no one wants to be the cruelest villain.

"You still have three years to bury this relationship properly. Once the time limit is up, it will be a knife and two paragraphs. The rest... let time take it away."

After speaking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and left.

Kise was the only one left to stay where he was.

"I'm not the type to be bored enough to dig out secrets that people don't want to tell. I believe everything you say, so I don't ask."

But I'm taking advantage of your trust, Xiao Qingfeng.

"—but if you want to talk any day, I'm always there."

But I won't stay by your side forever.My life will not exist without you.

Slowly slid to sit on the ground, hugged his knees with his hands, lowered his head, tears flooded completely.

──If it's just pure sexual desire, Kise Ryo is too acceptable.

But if there's too much emotion involved...

He couldn't bear it.

Facing the parting that will come sooner or later.No amount of tenderness hurts.
