that summer

"How are you doing recently? Are you still used to everything? Is there anyone bullying you in Lingnan? This week is the final of the Lihai County Competition. Although the opponent is not very strong, you still can't be careless! Your friend said, you will come and cheer ,real?"

Looking at the few lines he had just typed on the screen of the phone, Nioh thought about it, deleted it and started over again.

"Long time no see! How are you doing? We have a game this week, are you interested in coming over?"

Tightly pursing the corners of her mouth, she felt weird no matter how she thought about it, so she deleted it again.

"The college league is about to start. I heard from my dad that Lingnan has been training very hard recently! How about you? How are you? Are you not used to it?"

After spelling out the last pseudonym, King Ni couldn't help but let out a "poof" in his heart, and suddenly felt that the current self was ridiculous.

After clearing the content of the text message and exiting the editing mode, Nioh sighed and put away the phone.

On the podium, the dedicated teacher was still scribbling on the blackboard, but Nioh didn't have any intention of taking notes.

The pen in his hand turned unconsciously, and he rested his chin on one hand and looked out the window.

Very blue sky, cloudless, I have to say, today's weather is really good.

King Ren's thoughts gradually became a little erratic.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen that girl smiling like that.

Full of vigor, it seems that I have found my future direction, and I am working hard to move forward.

Under the sunset after school, he who had finished his homework, and her who was plugging in her earphones and smiling at the corners of her mouth, bumped into each other head-on.

Since she was admitted to Lingnan, it was the first time he and she had met each other face to face.

"Hi! Long time no see!" She greeted him with a smile, her attitude was natural, but... so strange.

Long time no see... Heh!yes!He and she haven't seen each other for a long time—even though, their homes...are only a few minutes away.

Obviously they live next to each other, but they haven't met face to face for more than a month.what is this?Joke or sarcasm?

"Long time no see." To hide the momentary sadness in his eyes, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at her casually.

Nodding, beckoning, passing by each other, they went back to their respective homes.

This is the way he and she get along now—even worse than the most familiar strangers!

Every night, standing in front of the window, he always looks for the window that belongs to her.

I forgot, since when, her windows are always drawn with dark curtains, tightly blocking the transparent glass, blocking the prying eyes of the outside world.

Many times, he stood in front of the window, staring at her lighted window quietly, until the light went out, he pulled up his curtains desperately, went back to the desk, and turned on his own light.

He has a lot of things he wants to say to her, but when he really bumps into her face to face, his self-esteem and pride will always prevent him from saying a word.Stiff and awkward, the distance between them is getting farther and farther.

Sighing, he turned his gaze back to the open book in front of him. The dense English letters dazzled his eyes.

That girl...how is she doing recently?

Hearing from his father, that silly girl seems to be competing with a girl for the position of manager of the basketball team?

"Isn't her father the coach of the Lingnan team?"

"That's why it's troublesome! Weiyi didn't want her father to be accused of acting for personal gain, so she challenged that girl."

"challenge?"

"She and that girl served as the manager of the basketball team for a month. After a month, let the basketball team members vote for the most suitable person to be the manager...Of course, for the sake of fairness, the girl who competed with Weiyi has a proposal Get the whole school to vote."

"She agreed?"

"Does she have a reason for refusing?"

"Pfft."

Thinking of the conversation between himself and Nioh Kazuo at the dinner table a while ago, Nioh Masaharu couldn't help frowning.

In my memory, although that silly girl has done many things beyond her control, it is the first time that she took the initiative to challenge a girl like this time.

She is not a person who likes to compete with others, even she who was stupid and reckless before, never had the idea of ​​competing with other girls.

"We are all girls. Why do girls make things difficult for girls and let you boys watch jokes?"

He didn't forget what the silly girl who liked to look good in front of him and was overconfident once said.

At that time, seeing her pretending, he even laughed at her, because he didn't have the confidence to win over other girls, so he used this sentence to comfort himself.

But, no matter what, that silly girl has never had conflicts with other girls, even if she was ridiculed by others, even if some girls would poke her in front of her when she was cheated by Fujita Kenji. Her pain, she will not refute a word.

She smiled and endured silently. One thing more is worse than one thing less. She never wanted to confront those girls head-on.

So, when he heard his father say that that silly girl took the initiative to challenge a girl, he was momentarily stunned, and after the stupefaction, he felt depressed and not very comfortable.

Because he knew what prompted her to do this.

"You...really don't want to apply for Lihai University with us?"

"Ok!"

"Because of immortality?"

"Not at all."

"Not all of them? That is, some of them?"

"..."

"you like him?"

"People like Xiandao...it's hard to dislike, isn't it?"

That night, they happened to be going out to take out the garbage, and they walked a short distance side by side.

He remembers very clearly that at that time, when she mentioned Xiandao, the expression on her face was sweet and happy, it was... the smile that should have belonged to him.

It was strange that when she was by his side, he never cared about her or took a serious look at her; after she and him started to distance, he recalled little by little the details of the two of them getting along in the past.

Thinking of her looking at him with full trust, telling him that you will definitely be the first choice; thinking of her undisguised excitement and joy when he won the game; thinking of... thinking of many, many things that were ignored by him detail.

Looking back carefully, he could recall a lot, but he refused to go deeper.

The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and he regretted it a little bit every day. In the end, he lost any courage to redeem it.

With a wry smile, even he himself looks down on such a self.

In a trance, a class is spent like this.

In a daze, another day passed like this.

Since tomorrow is the final of the county competition, today he has nothing to do.

After school, he walked out of the school gate. After a pause of half a second, he jumped to the station as if he had made up his mind, and got on the tram to Lingnan.

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Stepping into the indoor basketball court in Lingnan, he came to the stands on the second floor, looked from a high place, and with just one glance, he saw the familiar silly girl standing beside her father, holding a notebook, and writing down from time to time something.

On the court, some Lingnan players seemed to be practicing shooting. They formed a circle, served by Yuzhu and Xiandao standing in the middle, and a few others were on the side, being urged by another girl, doing basic exercises .

It's... that girl, right?

Tall stature, arrogant temperament, no matter how you look at it, they are completely different types from that soft and weak silly girl.

"Pfft!" With his hands in his trouser pockets, he bowed his body, his gaze swept across the court, and finally fell on that silly girl.

That girl... After she went to high school, she dyed her hair back to black, and it grew to reach her shoulders. Her round cheeks were visibly thinner than the last time she saw her.She was talking to her father, nodding from time to time, pointing to a certain point on the book from time to time, asking something seriously.

Such a serious look... It's not the first time I've seen him, but... Before, she was serious because she was thinking about worrying about him and how he could be the main candidate, but now...she was trying to get close to that person , and in the field that she was not good at before, she worked hard.

Silly girl... It seems that she has really found her goal!

It's just... but it has nothing to do with him anymore!

Thinking of this, King Ren unconsciously closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up mockingly.

Taking a last look at that silly girl who was still taking notes seriously, King Ni lowered his eyes, turned around, and left quietly—just like when he came.

He thought, he just needs to look at her and make sure that she is doing well in Lingnan.

There is no need to say hello, and there is no need to let her see him. What is the reason?Perhaps, just a whim.

"Yazhi?" Just stepped out of the indoor gymnasium, and before he had opened much distance, that familiar voice sounded behind him.

After a pause, he turned around and looked at the little figure who was holding the notebook and running towards him, he was stunned for half a second...it seemed a little surprised.

"It's really you?" She ran up to him in a daze, raised her face, and smiled faintly at him, "Why are you here?"

"Pfft." He habitually popped out his mantra, while thinking in his heart how to explain why he was here.

"We just finished a practice match near here, and we happened to pass by here, so we came in to take a look." He pulled a reasonable reason.

"Isn't tomorrow the final of the county competition? Before the final, there will be a practice match?" Wei Yi tilted his head, a little curious.

"Heh! Who knows? It's Yukimura's style not to play cards according to the rules, have you forgotten?" The cunning fox easily pushed everything on his own minister's head.

"That's true!" Weiyi nodded in understanding, and then, as if thinking of something, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to King Ni: "If it's not troublesome, help me return this to Yukimura?"

"Yukimura?"

"Hehe, this is his handkerchief... I've already washed it, but unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to meet him recently... I was thinking of asking you to help me with this a few days ago. Duo, I always forget to find you..."

"Why do you have Yukimura's handkerchief?" He frowned slightly.

"This...it's a long story..." It's not a very pleasant memory, she doesn't want to recall it, "Hey! We will have a practice match between the third grade and the first and second grade later, are you interested in watching it? "She subconsciously changed the subject.

Knowing that she didn't want to say more, he didn't want to ask more. Just when he was about to say something along the lines of her words, he casually glanced and noticed that not far away, there was a towel around his neck, and he didn't know when he was leaning indoors. At the entrance of the basketball court, silently looking at a tall figure in their direction.

An unknown light flashed in the emerald green eyes, and the next second, Niwang leaned closer to Weiyi, and lied to her that there was an eyelash on her face, and if she was told not to move, he would blow it off for her.

Undoubtedly there is another place, Weiyi stood where he was, and closed his eyes after listening to King Ren's words.

Then, he leaned closer to her face, blowing his hot breath on her face.

The distance of one inch only stopped there, and there was no further contact.

However, even so, the distance between the two of them, viewed from behind, looks like a couple kissing, ambiguous and intimate.

Xiandao's pupils shrank inexplicably.

The author has something to say: 囧... Cover your face... Recently, the school has been very busy and busy, and there is no time to code words. It is hard to find time to code words, but after coding the fox, I lost my direction to Xiandao (who told you to have a double ending? Crying, crying, there will never be double endings in the future...) Forgive me, forgive me...
