Kise Ryota and Kamiya Sakura stood in front of the sink and brushed their teeth repeatedly.

"The kissing scene... I'm a little nervous." Kise felt a little uneasy.

"Have you ever kissed Ryota-kun?" Sakura in the mirror was still brushing her teeth expressionlessly, completely ignoring what was about to happen later; she was wearing a hospital gown, and the heroine, Shoko Mayumi, was in the hospital costumes.

"No... yes... but I have to show it to the whole crew... it's a bit... isn't Sakura nervous?"

Sakura rinsed her mouth,

"It's not unheard of to have something worse than this," she said.

Last week, she took five days off with the crew and flew to Maldives.I went with a certain big entrepreneur.The entrepreneur is known for his penchant for investing in television and movies.

Even if everyone didn't say anything, they all silently knew what Sakura was doing this trip.

Holding the toothbrush, Kise's eyes dimmed.

"...Obviously there is no need for those heretics, but Sakura can definitely become the heroine." He said.

"My mom is someone who doesn't like mistakes...everything has to be tight."

"..."

"She—my mother. She entrusted all her achievements in life to me. I sympathize with her." He took out mouth freshening tablets from his pocket, and distributed a few to Kise.She didn't want any strange smells to spoil the mood.

"Ryota-kun paid the price for becoming popular back then. I also paid the price for successfully transforming from a child actor." Sakura smoothed Junmayumi Shoko's ponytail, her voice as steady as usual.As if those were just the stories of strangers.

"I haven't always been popular. I also had low tides - when I was 12 years old, I started to develop, and I couldn't get plays." She said quietly, "It's too big to play a child, but too young to play a girl." The audience has watched Tired of you", "Your current look is embarrassing", "It's good for a child star to be popular until the age of 10", there are all kinds of reasons, and even once took on the role of a passerby in a noon soap opera, waiting for a whole day on the set As a result, there was not even a single line. In the end, all the shots were cut.”

"I can't bear this kind of myself──Acting is all I have since I was sensible. If I am not even an actor, then what am I? I have no schooling, no friends, and every word I say to others will be punished. Surveillance, I can’t go anywhere except my home and the studio──If I’m not even an actor, then all the parts I’m most proud of will be gone.”

stopped.

"Of course, it's impossible for my mother to accept this kind of thing happening... She still has to pay my dad alimony every month, and she puts all her achievements in life on me."

As she spoke, she checked her makeup in the mirror.From the eyelashes to the corners of the mouth, there is no room for a single mistake, the talented actress Kamiya Sakura is an absolute perfectionist.

Many of the so-called geniuses and child prodigies are children who were forced to grow up.

"Then my mom made the 'arrangements' for me—and I started getting roles. They were leading ladies," she said.

"Even though I have the strength that everyone affirms now, I can't turn back what I have done. Well, it's not bad, as long as I "socialize" with them, I can do whatever I want to sell or eat after that── ─I can do whatever I want.”

After returning from the Maldives, she bought six Hermès bags in one go, and then casually threw them in the studio trailer.

"This is not normal... If she is your mother, she shouldn't..." Pushing her daughter into the fire pit again and again.

"──How could I not know." She interrupted Kise coldly.

"Did Liang Tai-kun think that climbing up can change the current situation? What you have done will never be forgotten. No matter how well you transform in the future, there will always be someone behind you pointing at you and saying—" That person He took it off". You have to comfort yourself that it's a good thing that it wasn't made out of pornography. Those who have approached you will not let you go just once──"

Sakura Kamiya looked at him.What was in those eyes was not calm, but indifference that sees through everything.

"It is impossible to change anything unless I leave the current people and things. It's like if I don't leave my mother, no matter how good I act and how many awards I get, I have to do these things in my life, so I must one day Will leave her, no matter what method is used──I've done it."

She left with a toothbrush and a cup.

"Mr. Liang, do you want to be a model for the rest of your life?" Before leaving, she stopped and asked suddenly.

"Modeling is not a job that can be done for a lifetime." A 26-year-old is considered an old model in the modeling industry. How many years does he have to squander?

"Then have you thought about what to do in the future?"

"..."

As if she also knew that Kise would definitely have this kind of reaction, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she shrugged.

"...What does Ryota-kun have for lunch?" she asked.

"Spaghetti with Pesto..."

"If you let me smell the green sauce later, you will be finished."

──What you have done will never be forgotten.

──It is impossible for those who have approached you to let you go just once.

──It is impossible to change anything without leaving the current people and things.

Everyone sees them bright,

How do you know that they let mermaid flesh, riddled with holes?

Feather Lover is really suitable for him to play with Sakura.

Two birds trapped in a cage flap their wings desperately trying to escape to the sky...the story of longing for freedom.

Kise took out the cell phone in his pocket and opened the message folder.

【Tajun Liang, AN˙AN hopes to cooperate with you on the cover of the next album. ] He waited for a few days to reply to the message from the office.If you want to put your clothes back on, it really can't be done overnight.

──Nothing will change unless you leave Japan.

As usual, the Tonghuang basketball team began routine practice.

With his hands in his pockets, Aomine Daiki sauntered into the basketball court.As usual, he looked casual and careless.

He crossed the field directly, and the other members of the club also sensibly made way out of their own accord.It was like Moses crossing the sea.

He strode to the center of the court, and directly grabbed a basketball that fell on the court with one hand.

"Kise won't come today." He raised the basketball in his hand, and said loudly towards the players in the field. "──Who wants to practice with me?"

It was very quiet.There was only the sound of a basketball being dropped to the ground in a daze.

Everyone was stunned.

"Huh? Ah Da? What did you just say?" Momoi blinked.She must have heard wrong just now.

"Are you all deaf? I said──Who wants to practice with me!"

Then he started dribbling the ball.

Everyone watched Tonghuang quietly, and the tyrant of the two kings sprinted back and forth under the basket by himself-passing, fake moves, hook shots, and slam dunks.Even if there is no opponent, he will try his best to hit every ball alone.

He slammed the ball in with great momentum, grabbed the basket with both hands, and the frame was torn apart.

I haven't seen him for a while, and his explosive power has become even more amazing.

Throwing the torn hoop aside casually, he patted the ball with one palm──the other hand stretched out his hand towards the Tonghuang basketball team who gathered together, each stunned and hesitant.

"Let's play ball."

The eyes are steady and calm──

And then...the simple desire to play.

And enthusiasm.

One of the more courageous players finally stood up.Summoning all his courage, he walked up to Tonghuang ACE, "I, am I qualified?" He asked tremblingly.

"If you don't want to lose the game, you are eligible."

May involuntarily clenched the tablet in her hand.Tears welled up in my eyes──the old Ah Da came back.

"To enter the NBA, you must first participate in their draft. You must be over 19 years old to register. If you graduate from high school, you must play in the D-League for at least one year or participate in the NCAA. You must wait until you are 19 years old to be eligible to register──I have Did you say something wrong?"

Aomine Daiki tossed the towel back casually──in the middle of the towel basket.

He pulled out the club chair and sat down next to his childhood friend and team manager, Momoi Itsuki.

"I thought you didn't care about these all the time." Wuyue smiled shyly.

Tonghuang has been two years, this is the first time he participated in the practice with everyone, from beginning to end.

"I just got serious recently."

But it seems too late.

Or rather, he only actively wants to know all about it when the dream begins to be oppressed.

Obviously, he had already promised his family a future after graduation, but he still couldn't help but ran to check the information.

Giving up on the dream... really can't be done in a short time.

"But they really have been upset with me for a long time, and they have used all kinds of messy tricks." Nunu mouthed, and then drool.When he finished the quarter with the first person who worked up the courage to practice with him, seeing that the guy was still playing well, the others all flocked up like crazy and clamored to play against the ace.

I don't know why in the end it became him single-handedly challenging the entire Tonghuang basketball team.

In order to bring down Tong Huang's trump card, everyone desperately tried their best, as long as they could stop him, they used all the methods, and in the end they were all twisted into a ball──this is against the rules at all.

Qingfeng couldn't help laughing.

In fact, this is also quite interesting.

"Well... Anyway, let's finish this year and a half first..." He shrugged his shoulders, with a smile on his lips.

"Strictly speaking, it's a year. After the Winter Cup, we will be third graders."

I haven't seen Ada like this for a long time.Very relaxed, calm Ah Da.

And...it seems to have matured a lot.

Ah Da looks like now──

Almost like a real... man.

May's face became hot.She jerked her face down so that the gay man who had rejected her so badly (yes, she sure was!) could see her flushed face.

"To be honest, because you never pay attention to the team's affairs, Ada, so I didn't tell you about these things." In order to cover up his embarrassment, he deliberately coughed twice.

"──After this season is over, the captains will graduate next spring, and we are all considering candidates for the third-year captain. Xiaoliang is very good, but he does not have the courage of the captain; as for Xiaohuang, it is definitely impossible. .”

"Ada."

Momoi said.

"──Would you like to be our captain?"

XXX

Under Aomine's relentless series of calls, he hesitated and struggled, and Kise finally picked up the phone.

"Come and pick us up, Kise." As soon as he answered, it was an order.

"Eh?!"

Just when Kise couldn't figure out what was going on, the phone immediately switched to another person, "Hey, Xiao Huang! Thank you for inviting me to the set! This is the first time I've come here! Oh my god, I'm so excited !" Xiaotao's excited voice came from the phone...

Aomine, you bastard──

"Hurry up! Only you have a work permit, now Wuyue and I are blocked by the guards──" Qingfeng shouted at the top of his voice.Huang Lai listened to the phone... There was a chattering sound from Xiaoqingfeng.

"I told you! If you don't have a certificate, don't try to break in for me!" "Just tell you that I have it! What if you don't believe it!"

Kise immediately turned pale.

What if Xiao Qingfeng got into a fight with the guards on the set!This is not impossible, no, it should be said that it is extremely possible, because that person is Xiao Qingfeng!

"Wait, wait a minute! I'll pick you up right now! Please don't fight!"

He immediately rushed out.

Ever since Diguang, this guy has done unexpected things!

"Oh my God, this is where you filmed, Xiao Huang──Wow, there are machines and wires everywhere... It's very different from what I imagined..." Xiao Tao looked around in admiration, and looked around every place she went. Eyes wide open, looking left and right excitedly.I look around from time to time, hoping to find stars.

"Be careful where you step, don't kick the wire. Otherwise, I will be scolded. ── Ah, be careful of the lamp on your head." Kise smiled wryly.

It seems that the set is really a very novel and interesting place for ordinary people.But after living here for a month and a half, I don't think so.

"You've been busy lately, Kise." Aomine who was walking on the other side suddenly spoke, obviously, the tone was not very good.It's not that I agreed to take only one month's leave, but now it has been extended to almost half a month.

Indigo eyes stared intently at him.Since just now, Kise has only talked to Wuyue, and he is either um, or oh, or just smirked as a perfunctory.

"Sakura went to the Maldives a while ago, so the last important scenes have been delayed until these few days before I can shoot." Kise laughed.But the eyes escaped.

I don't know what to do,

So I had no choice but to run away.

"──Please don't say it's all my fault." Kamiya Sakura's cold flat voice came from behind.

Kise turned his head and looked at the girl in the hospital costume.

"Obviously Ryota-kun's acting is so bad that everyone keeps doing it all over again." Talented actress, Sakura Kamiya said.

Momoi Itsuki jumped up when she saw that petite girl who was as delicate as a doll.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" She screamed, pointing her finger at the girl, speechless for a long time.

"Could it be you, you are—"

"Yes, I am Kamiya Sakura. Hello." Faced with fans' excited reactions, Sakura is already used to it.She pulled up the hem of the patient's gown, and pulled it slightly to the left and right—a very elegant salute.

"Oh my god, it's so cute!" Momoi almost passed out.

"May I ask you what should I call you? Ryota-kun's friend." Kamiya Sakura said softly and calmly.As expected of a big star, even if he just got angry on the set just now, he immediately becomes gentle and polite when he sees fans.

"Tao, Momoi Wuyue." Xiao Tao got into a knot.

"It's the name of a flower, it suits you very well."

"──It's so cute! It's as cute as on TV! No, I'm even cuter in person──Small, with big eyes, like a doll!" And it's so approachable!

"Is Ryota-kun's friend?" Kamiya Sakura asked calmly.

"Uh, sort of, the school..."

"It's a friend! Could it be that Xiao Huang thinks I'm not your friend?" Momoi immediately protested.

"Of course, after all, Tao and I both graduated from Teiko Junior High School..."

"Xiao Tao... What a cute name... May I call you Tao Tao?" Kamiya Sakura slightly tilted her head, looking at the girl who was the same age as her in front of her—this was her first time outside of work. Talk to girls your age.

"Oh, of course you can──Sakura is cuter! Can I, can I call you Sakura?"

"Please."

"Then let's exchange the mobile phone. I like to send e-mails to people." Then he took out the pink mobile phone and started pressing hard at lightning speed.

"Hey! Big star's E-mail! Is it really okay?" "With the empty-headed Ryota-kun, I would rather talk to Taotao, and have something to say."

"Hey! So that's why you only posted pictures and URLs without even typing a single word?!" Kise exclaimed.

"Well, because I can't think of anything to say to the idiot."

"Wow... It's been a long time since I saw Xiao Huang crying..." Momoi looked at Kise who was desperately wiping away tears.How many years ago was the last time I saw this scene?

"Leave him alone—is Taotao coming to play in my trailer?" Kise completely ignored the mournful face.

"Hey hey hey! Really? Can you?" "Well, my mother will be late today, you can come in and play."

"It seems that I was really right to bring Wuyue here." Aomine Daiki said after finishing the most troublesome guy, watching the two girls leave. "Now that she has May as a friend, she doesn't need to email you every day."

"What?" Kise turned around in surprise.It turned out that he was still concerned about the fact that he and Sakura were E-mail friends! ?

Huang Lai shook his head, "You actually used Xiao Tao to force your way to my work place. I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect Xiao Qingfeng to become such an insidious person!"

"Who told you that you have been finding reasons to refuse me before." With one sentence, the little supermodel's mouth was blocked.

Kise was speechless for a long time.

"I'm not an idiot, Kise." Aomine Daiki grabbed Kise's shoulders and forced his face directly in front of him--"You're angry with me, aren't you?"

"...Ordinary people wouldn't barge in so forcefully and ask questions like this?" Kise lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Don't change the subject for me. Where did I offend you?" I hate dying inexplicably.There is no reason at all, just what to do!

"...No...no." Facing Aomine's tough attitude, Kise stuttered, "Xiao Aomine did nothing wrong, it's me...in a bad mood." Lowering his head, Kise timidly talking.

"You don't say anything, how could I know?"

"That's right...I'm sorry...Aomine...for making you...worry..."

He is such a useless person.

At the critical moment, he flinched.

"I'm sorry, but I asked you to come here to ask me. It's been a long time by car from Tonghuang, I'm sorry, Xiao Qingfeng." Kise brought hot coffee from the crew and handed it to Qingfeng who was sitting on the ground.Then he sat up on the ground just leaning against him like that, with his hands on the warm coffee, and he drank slowly with his head down.

Aomine just silently watched Kise who was drinking his coffee with his head down, then raised his hand and stroked that soft blonde hair affectionately──then immediately let go when someone passed by.

This is where Kise works, so don't trouble him.

"Besides this, there is one more thing I must tell you." With great difficulty, he barely pulled his eyes away from Kise's face.He didn't notice it before, but since he came to the set to spend the night that time, he found that he stared at Kise for a longer time, and he often stared at it for several minutes, unable to look away for a long time.

Silently clenched the coffee in his hand.Heat came from the palm.

──It turned out that I really fell in love with someone, that's how it is.

"What kind of things are too important to talk on the phone?" Kise lowered her head and smiled softly.

"Um."

"Next year, I will be Tonghuang's captain." Aomine Daiki said.

Kise raised her head abruptly and looked at him.

He opened those amber-gold eyes fiercely, and was speechless for a while.

"I'm really surprised..." He was completely dumbfounded.

"Why does everyone react like this?" Obviously upset.

"Getting along with everyone...is it okay?" Kise was a little worried.Could it be that the team ran to the point where only he and Momoi were left?

Looking at Kise's surprised and worried expression, Aomine could probably guess what he was worried about; in Tonghuang's two years, he, Aomine Daiki, had never gotten along well with anyone other than Kise Ryota.

"It's much simpler than I imagined." With a conceited expression of "worried ass", Aomine snorted and laughed.As long as you yell, everyone will be obedient. No matter whether it is running ten laps of the playground or standing up two hundred times, no one will dare to disobey. It is so easy.

Even the captain who is still in office couldn't help applauding his dominance.

"I feel like if they go on like this, they can jump through hoops..." the current captain praised.

"That's it...Xiao Qingfeng is the captain...it seems quite suitable..." Kise hugged his knees, and he leaned his head on his knees, and said softly.

"Very handsome... very majestic... and I always feel that as long as I follow you, I can definitely do anything..." His eyes drifted far ahead, as if looking forward to yearning.

──Like light.

"Well, that's why I'm here to warn you! If I'm the captain, I won't allow you to come and go. Give me the game, and give me practice as much as possible."

Aomine's words made Kise couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Isn't Xiao Qingfeng like this? If you become the captain yourself, you won't allow others to do this? It's too domineering."

He hooked Kise's neck and pulled him into him, "Don't like it?" He whispered in his ear angrily.A very nasty murmur.

"...Sure enough, this little Qingfeng is my Xiaoqingfeng... Tonghuang's tyrant." Kise laughed.

"Then give me a kiss, Queen."

Tonghuang's tyrant leaned close to the queen, looking deeply into the depths of his pupils.The tip of the nose touched lightly, and the lips smelling of sweat and salt met Kise's lips smelling of citrus ambiguously.

Tonghuang's queen said nothing, and closed her eyes.

──Aomine turned around and hugged him tightly.

Just kiss him deeply.

Workers walked behind them sporadically, and no one noticed what they were doing.

"You can take them all if you like." Sakura said to Momoi whose eyes were shining.

She was wandering around admiring the dream-like trailer that Xiao Sakura had arranged, and every time she saw something, she couldn't put it down, picked it up and stared at it intently.

Sakura's trailer is huge, the size of a spacious room.The decoration is mainly dreamy pink and white, with white gauze and pink lace hanging around, and Sakura sitting in the middle is like a doll in a dollhouse.

"All, all?" Momoi looked at the small pure white bag in her hand in surprise—she recognized that brand!That is not a price that ordinary people can afford.

"Well. There are seven or eight of the same in my family."

"Seven or eight!" Such an expensive thing!

"Yeah." Sakura nodded, "Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I'll buy random things, so there are a lot of things like this in the house. If Tao Tao likes it, take it as much as possible."

"Anyway, as long as I "work", I can have many of these things." Doll-like girl.There was no wave in his eyes.

"Come back immediately after filming, I want you to come back to practice immediately. You are my exclusive partner──Come here, Kise."

Xiao Qingfeng said this to himself.

"This year's WINTERCUP... is still under Tonghuang—you and me."

Facing Aomine's words, Kise only smiled and nodded.

In fact, this day will come sooner or later.

Xiao Qingfeng is a ray of light, even if it is temporarily dimmed because of confusion and irritability, it cannot be forever.

One day, he will shine again.

And even more radiant.

When the time comes...except for myself.

There must be other people who were also attracted by Xiaoqingfeng's light, right?

definitely.

The days of being able to monopolize him are almost gone.

Tangled and entangled; all resolutions are only half made, this is not good, Kise.You can't do this.

Come on and really harden your heart.

Hurry up and build that wall in your heart.

To protect himself, but also to protect him.

Come on and really harden your heart.
