"Please let me keep playing."

Kneeling in front of his father, Qingfeng said loudly.

Look determined.

"...Have you forgotten what you said?"

Father -- Taisuke Aomine leaned on the table with one hand, crossed his legs.He still hadn't changed his overalls, and his shoulders and neck were covered with dust and dust.

Taking a puff of cigarette, he said coldly.

"I know that I am breaking my promise! But, only once! One time is fine! Let me try to chase once! Life will not repeat itself, I don't want my future life to regret that I gave up without even trying Already!"

"By the time you know you've failed, it's too late."

"dad!"

"To shut up!"

Taisuke Aomine interrupted him, and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray indiscriminately.

"A little ghost who has never tasted reality like others talk about dreams? Don't laugh so hard."

He stared at his son sternly.

Father and son look at each other, almost carved out of the same mold.

Silent wrestling.

No one backs down.

Xia Zi, who had just come out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, opened the sliding door and walked in.I don't even look at my father and younger brother who are making a family revolution.

She took off her apron and folded it neatly aside.

Then he walked up to his father.

He knelt down beside Qingfeng.

Put your hands on the ground and press your forehead to the floor.

At least ten seconds long.Qingfeng was completely stunned.

After a while, Xia Zi slowly got up.

"I know that I have no status in this family, and I also know that women should not interrupt men when they are talking." She faced her father with a very serious expression.

"But what I'm saying now is not as Qingfeng's parents and daughters, but as an employee of Qingfeng Building Materials Co., Ltd. for more than ten years-Dahui is not suitable for business at all."

She faced him squarely.

"He can't even understand the most basic accounts, he can't socialize, and he doesn't know any professional knowledge about building materials. How can he understand accounting, business, and purchasing? As an accountant of Qingfeng Building Materials, I can't I agree with the company hiring an employee whose production value is zero. Giving him a salary is too much."

"Old sister..."

The elder sister is different from him, she has only been asked to obey since she was a child.No matter what she said or what she did, everything must be ranked after the family.

Because she is a girl.

Such an old lady dared to face her father without fear.

"I am speaking as a senior employee. I hope you can listen to my opinion, boss. Everything I do is for this company. For all the people who rely on it to support their families. I hope the boss can seriously think about what I have done. the words said."

Xia Zi kowtowed deeply again.

The forehead is pressed tightly against the tatami mat.

"──Please let me continue playing!" Aomine knelt in front of his father and said loudly and resolutely.

"I already have a clear goal, and I know that I will encounter all possible things in the future!"

"──I may not even be able to get into the NBA, and then struggle in the Development League for the rest of my life. Even if I enter the NBA, I may be frozen into a bench, and I can't even touch the ball for a whole season. I may also be drowned because of my lack of height and physique. In the restricted area.

Even if he survives, he may be forced to retire due to injury; the average life expectancy of an NBA player is about 35 years old, and the life span of playing in the penalty area will be even shorter--I am retiring when others are about to take off, and will still be full The body is injured, and has been plagued by sports injuries for a lifetime.If you are lucky, you can switch to managing the team smoothly, but if you are a little bit close, you can retire as a coach, or even worse────

──I know all of this!But I still want to fight! ' he said decisively.

"I'm sorry," Qingfeng kowtowed in front of his father again with his hands on the ground.

"Even if I break my promise, I will continue to play! Never give up!"

His indigo eyes stared straight at him.

That's not a request.

but determination.

Aomine Taisuke stared at him coldly.

"……up to you."

He just said coldly and left without looking back.

He completely avoided his son's eyes.

Aomine Taisuke went to the porch to smoke a cigarette.

Twin grandsons, Aomine Sho and Aomine Yang are playing ball in the yard.The two children wore only light coats in the cold late December, but they laughed happily.

The hoop that had been removed was back on the wall.

the original place.

Thin white smoke billowed from his graying mustache.

How old was that little boy when he touched the ball for the first time?Are there two years old?or smaller?

He still remembered that kid who couldn't even walk steadily at that time, but staggered and insisted on grabbing the ball in his hand.

If you can't grab it, you will yell and cry.Just a little tyrant.

Exactly the same bad temper as him.

The person who put the ball in his hands was himself.

But he didn't expect that it would be a lifetime.

The eyes were closed and opened again, and the kid from back then has grown into such a big person...

"I actually already have that kind of eyes..." His eyes were hot.Damn rotten smoke.

──That kid actually started to look like a man.

Suddenly hearing footsteps approaching from behind, Aomine Taisuke turned his head away.

It's his wife, Megumin Aomine.

She knows what's going on.

"I'm getting old, Megumi..."

Sigh.The eyes are leisurely.

"Yes," Aomine Megumi stepped forward, "but I will be with you."

Gently hold your hand.

Enduring the sore nose, finally let go.

──He can fly by himself.
