[Comprehensive] Did Zhixi watch pretty boys today?

In fact, Zhixi didn't quite understand what "dependence" that Akashi Seijuro mentioned more than once meant.

It's not that she doesn't understand the emotions and behaviors represented by this word, but...she doesn't understand why and how to rely on others, and what consequences such dependence will bring to her.

In the past, she was controlled by the system to walk in the world, like a canary in shackles, alone, and seemed to have a lot of friends, but in the end she was still alone—— Zhixi had long been accustomed to this, so even not long ago She was out of the control of the system, and she didn't feel much relaxed because of it.

Probably due to different backgrounds, Zhixi has a subtle attitude towards all the things she has experienced that can be called "Fuze", just like a child who is eager for candy suddenly received a box full of candy, On the contrary, they dare not open even one of them, and store them carefully, and they don't open the box to read them on weekdays, but occasionally find a sunny afternoon, count them carefully one by one, and then keep them intact. Put it back in the deep drawer, symbolically hang a lock, but don't buckle it.

Since I've never had a good taste of those candies, I won't be so sad if the box is lost one day.

But now, someone suddenly handed over a hand, and said softly: [You can rely on me. ]

To her, it was like someone grabbing a handful of candy and stuffing it into her arms, saying you can eat all you want, and there's plenty more.

Zhi Xi looked at that hand, didn't know how to react, and couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in, but suddenly felt a little bewildered.

And when Zhi Xi made a decision, it was already after the first knockout match of WC.

In this year's national competition, Luoshan High School made a big mistake and achieved the No.1 result, thus obtaining the qualification for the WC, skipping the qualifiers and directly entering the knockout round. This time, the opponent is still an old friend from the bird Obuchihata Academy, which was taken, was the opponent of the first WC match last year.

Zhixi flipped through the compiled information, Obuchihata's school team was full of familiar faces from last year, and only one newcomer who played SF was added, looking at all aspects of data, it is not the type that needs to be paid attention to.

In other words, what she sympathized with was the fact that the school was eliminated in the first knockout round of the Winter Cup for two consecutive years-it is really not a lucky thing to be an opponent of a basketball giant like Luoshan.

When Eka Sakai arrived at the stadium, what caught her eyes was the girl with coffee-colored long hair draped behind her, staring at the captain of their team in a daze. It will slip through your fingers at any time.

And the captain, who was stared at by her like this, did not disappoint her calm and calm evaluation, and calmly made pre-match arrangements with the players who were about to play.Eka Sakai remembered that he once said that he would not participate in this game if it was not necessary. Judging from his expression when he said this, everyone probably did not have the courage to play the game to a "necessary" situation.

"Zhi Xi," she walked over in two or three steps, calling the girl's attention in a low voice, "Is your injury better?"

"Oh? It's all over."

"Phew, that's good... that's right," Sakai Eka said while supporting the folder in Zhixi's hand, and took her hand to take two small steps back to the other side, "Are you with me again?" Asada had a conflict, he even sent a text message yesterday asking me for your contact information, which scared me."

When they were still talking softly, the game had already started. Everyone followed Akashi's request before the game, and did not run at full speed as soon as they entered the field. After the tipoff, the first to get the ball was No. 17 of Obuchihata, who is also present The only freshman on the lineup above who wasn't involved in WC this past year.

No. 17 jumped up and intercepted the ball in the air and passed it to No. 9 who is SF. The latter easily broke through the outflanking of two Luoshan players, stood with both feet outside the three-point line and took off, scoring a three-pointer on the court.

There were small cheers from the auditorium, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually heated up.

Zhi Xi turned around and smiled, "No, Junior Asada probably wants to ask me something about study."

It would be more interesting to directly say "He wanted to ask me to watch a movie before", and maybe it could make Sakai Eka laugh, and then start talking about it with great interest-but Zhixiu has no habit of bringing this kind of thing out as a topic of conversation .

...But judging by Sakai's reaction when he heard this, he obviously didn't believe it.

Nearly 5 minutes into the game, the score was 7:4. Obuchihata took a small lead. Nagayama No. 6 Junichi Nagayama, who was holding the ball, had been dribbling for 17 seconds, but he still hadn't broken through the three-man defense in front of him.

"...You guys seem to have made a lot of progress."

"Don't underestimate people, you, even if the opponent is a so-called wealthy family like you, our Dabubaba will fight very hard!"

"Oh? Really?" Yongshan Junyi laughed, and his dribbling speed suddenly accelerated.

In the next second, he suddenly made a backhand hook and passed the ball to Kenta Asada who was diagonally behind.

"Play well, senior, what are you talking about!" Asada cursed, dribbling the ball past the interceptions of the two, and hit the basket steadily.

Zhi Xi heard the girl beside her let out a breath of emotion, and turned her head to look over.

"Ah, I'm sorry," Sakai Eka smiled embarrassingly, narrowing her eyes, she pointed at a few people on the field, "Zhixi, you may not know that at this time last year, you are still in the third grade now. Those seniors are playing games, so I was really worried that they would not be capable enough when the new term was changed... But seeing the current situation, I suddenly felt that my worries were unnecessary."

"So it was like this before? I saw that they cooperated so well, I thought they had played several games together."

"No—so, everyone is great, right?"

At the end of the first game, although the players had barely exhausted their physical strength, the two girls who were the managers still handed over the honey and lemon slices they brought, which attracted the boys who liked exaggerated performances to shout. Called, "The manager is so nice" and "It's so happy to have two beautiful girls as managers".

However, everyone said so, but none of them reached out to the box of lemon slices in the hand of the girl with long brown hair.

Hideyoshi Takakura and Junichi Yongshan looked at each other silently, and read the same message from each other's eyes: Do you have the guts to eat the lemon slice made by the captain's girlfriend?I don't.

The next moment, they saw Kenta Asada tear off the towel from his head, and walked towards the girl in a swaggering manner.

Chill down the spine.

Zhixi lowered her head, and looked at the box of lemon slices made by Sakai Eka, which had been scrambled for by everyone, and was a little confused.

Although her culinary skills may not be very good... But, it's just something like lemon slices that has no technical content, so it can't be made into a devil's cuisine, right?What's more, she tasted the taste last night to ensure that the sweetness and sourness were moderate, and the appearance was not bad.

Speaking of which, when I gave Yijia the bento she made, what was Yijia's reaction?

"Ah, Senior Sister Xianyuan, is this specially reserved for me?"

A slightly familiar male voice sounded above her head, and someone stood in front of her, blocking a shadow.

Anyway, at least it relieved her a little bit, Zhixi raised her head and smiled and said, "School Asada said yes, but it's the first time I've made this, so the taste may not be satisfactory."

"How come the lemon slices made by Senior Sister Xianyuan are not to my liking?" Asada said extremely well, taking the food box with both hands, with an attitude that can be called "respectful", he picked up a slice of beautifully colored and fragrant lemon slice and asked for it Put it in your mouth——

"Come and gather."

Not far away, the red-haired captain stood up.

Nagayama Junichi & Takakura Hideyoshi: Look, I know it.

When the whistle sounded for Game 20, Kenta Asada was dribbling the ball past three players in a row for a jumper, but he was a few seconds late.However, this has no effect on the result of the game. With a point difference of more than [-] points, the players of Obuchihata can persist until the last second of the game, which is admirable to all Luoshan.

"Does Zhixi have any plans for the afternoon? Do you want to go shopping together?"

The players on the field were walking to the side in twos and threes. Because today is Saturday, Sakai Eka, who was closer to the boys, heard that some boys were meeting to play games at the Internet cafe later. The autumn skirt I saw on the street two days ago made my heart itch.

"Sorry, there is extra-curricular cram school this afternoon."

After tidying up the folders, Zhi Xi zipped up the chain, turned her head and smiled apologetically.It was said to be a cram school, but in fact, what she was going to attend in the afternoon was not the content of the school curriculum, but the flower arrangement class that she was still confused about.Fortunately, Hanin Koreu himself seems to be very bad at this class. In the last class, the dignified female teacher in a blue kimono didn't show any surprise even when she saw the horrific work of Koeta .

Zhixi remembers what the teacher has always emphasized is that the flower arrangement class can cultivate women's sentiments, improve their aesthetic ability, and self-cultivation can make them more dignified and ladylike.

Although I don't quite understand what the so-called "lady temperament" should look like, but I once threw two punches at my juniors... there is a high probability that I don't have that kind of thing, Zhixi said embarrassingly.She couldn't help but get a headache just thinking about it, and she really wanted to cancel the course if she could.

"It's been so hard, I thought I could relax on Saturday, but Zhixiu and Akashi-kun are indeed the same kind of person."

The girl who was still immersed in her own world didn't hear her companion's words clearly, but caught a key word in it, raised her head and said "huh?", and said, "I didn't hear clearly just now, what did you say..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

The moment she raised her head, something in Zhi Xi's peripheral vision was coming at high speed. In a flash, it was only enough for her to instinctively judge how much impact this speed would bring, without even a moment of hesitation: If I Avoid, what will happen to Sakai?What if I don't hide?

A dull pain came from Eka Sakai's back. The back of her head seemed to be cushioned by a palm, and she didn't hit the ground directly, but her jaw was still slightly numb from that blow.

Physiological tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

After being stunned for less than a second, she raised her chin and looked at the person above her, tremblingly said: "Zhi, Zhixi..."

"……Feel sorry."

Sakai Eka felt the fingers on the back of her head move slightly, and slowly moved out, and the girl lying on her body also slowly got up. She was wearing long trousers, so she couldn't see what was going on on her knees, but her elbows But it turned red in a large area, and it was knocked on the ground.

Sakai still remembered that Zhi Xi's skin was very fair, but he didn't expect that when that white was dyed a little crimson, it would be so glaring.

Just looking at it hurts.

Zhixi gritted her teeth and stood up, stretched out her other hand to pull Sakai Eka up, although she tried her best to restrain herself, the left hand that hit the ground just now to protect the back of her head made her tremble in pain, "Hiss ... Eka, are you alright?"

"No, it's okay...just now..." Eka Sakai said while turning her head, looking at the guardrail on the sidelines.

She remembered hearing a loud noise just before being thrown down by Zhi Xi.

Near a guardrail on the sidelines, a basketball rolled down.

Looking up, the guardrail was actually deformed.

The arena was almost silent for a moment, and many spectators hadn't left. Fortunately, there was no one by the guardrail, otherwise, we don't know what would have happened.People began to whisper, and from time to time cast surprised glances at the players on the field: Who smashed it?

However, there are also many people who can see clearly: the basketball was placed on the ground before it was smashed.

The girl with long brown hair was pale, and she was obviously frightened, but she didn't show any more emotions, she just stood there quietly, looking at the basketball that stopped rolling by the guardrail .

Zhixi closed her eyes.

This is... the third time.

This time, it was unabashedly aimed at the two of them.

But she didn't know if she could protect the people around her every time as she did just now.

Some kind of terrible emotion surged into her heart, fear and anger were like huge waves, she clenched her lower lip, and tried her best to suppress those negative and obscure things, "...I'll go first."

The voice was so hoarse that even he felt strange.

After Zhi Xi finished speaking, she turned around very quickly. The sudden dizziness at that moment made her almost panic, not wanting to hurt the people around her. —

A hand suddenly grabbed her.

"Twig Xi."

The man called her, the strength in his hand was not heavy but he couldn't break free easily, he pulled her in front of him, and shouted again: "Zhi Xi."

The heat from the palm penetrated directly into the skin without any barriers, dispelling a bit of the chill around her body. The girl raised her head, her face was pale, and she opened her mouth: "...Don't come here, stay away from me."

Her eyes were wide open, the pupils dilated and then narrowed—clearly frightened.

But even so, she didn't shed a single tear. The girl tightly controlled the salty liquid in her eye sockets, and she stubbornly didn't shed a single drop.

Akashi Seijuro felt a slight pain in his heart, like being pricked by a needle.

He sighed, said nothing, passed his other arm around behind her and picked up the coat on the bench.

Zhixi's eyes darkened, and she was covered by a soft and wide fabric hood.

Immediately, the body was embraced into an embrace.

In the dark, the nostrils are filled with the familiar cold breath.

His voice passed through the fabric to his ears, it seemed to contain endless fear, but what he said was——

"Don't...don't be afraid,"

"I am here."
