[Comprehensive] different hearts

After that day, the distance between Rina and Akashi seemed to be separated by an invisible wall.No one took the initiative to tell the truth, but apart from the necessary communication during department work, the two hardly talked about other topics.

Even Hayama, who has always been dull, sensed something strange, and came to her during the break and asked her, "Manager, did you quarrel with Akashi?"

"No, why do you think so?" Rina categorically denied, her flat tone and smiling expression made it impossible to see any flaws, but it also made it impossible to ask further.

"We didn't quarrel." She looked at Akashi who was not far away, and repeated what she just said. She lowered her eyelids slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "The final exam is about to start. The teacher said that the test failed Man, during the summer vacation, there will be tutoring, and it will conflict with the time of the dormitory, how is Hayama-senpai preparing for the exam?"

"Wow——Really, study, I hate this kind of thing..." Ha Shan, who had been taken away from the topic unconsciously by Li Ming, scratched his head, and frowned in distress. "Well, I will work hard! The manager is too, so don't miss out on this co-op."

"...Mm." She was silent for a moment, and responded softly.

The final exam is not worth mentioning to Li Ming, but she is not a proud and complacent person. After doing enough review, the result of the exam is also predictable.

"Wow, it's worthy of a name, almost all of them are full marks." After the report card was sent out, the girl in the same class boasted without hesitation, and then asked, "Tomorrow is summer vacation, what do you plan to do during the vacation? What do we say? Going on a trip to the seaside, would you like to come with me?"

"Sorry, I already have an appointment, let's do it next time." Rina gently declined and put the test paper in her schoolbag.It was time for school to end, she got up and left the classroom, and when she reached the stairs, Rina heard the sound of running hurriedly behind her, as if chasing her figure.

She had just stopped, turned around, and the one chasing after him was a boy in the class. He seemed a little short of breath because of the sudden running, looked at her in a daze, and whispered hesitantly: "Yongshansang..."

"May I ask what's the matter?" Li Ming waited for him to breathe a little more calmly before asking.

"Well, that's... it's almost summer vacation, so I..." The boy was talking nonsensically, and then suddenly asked, "Nagayama-san said in class before...you didn't date Akashi, right? Is that...really?"

When he said this, the boy's eyes were a little wandering, but his clear eyes were full of hope.

"That's..." Li Ming was about to answer, but subconsciously remembered the follow-up of the conversation that day——

【"No... Agree?" Hearing the answer that Akashi gave without thinking, Rina's head was a little confused for a moment, she said, "What do you mean? When I said to break up before, Akashi-kun clearly said 'that's fine', right? Isn't that agreeable?"

Li Ming originally wanted to ask calmly, but the words he said suddenly showed a hint of aggression.

Akashi looked at her casually, her irritability and anxiety reflected in those strange-colored pupils.

"The other thing I said, I did say it, but——I never agreed." He said intriguing words, slightly raised his lips, and his calm tone was as cold as frost and snow, and he ordered, "Okay , Li Ming, I have given you enough time to calm down, now, you should come back to me."]

A familiar scene.Rina looked straight at the young boy, and before he could say the words of confession, he pretended not to know and tactfully refused.

"That was before...what's wrong?"

In order to prepare for the upcoming Winter Cup, Luoshan’s basketball team, at the suggestion of the coach, decided to have a camp at the comprehensive training center in Kanagawa. You can also take vacations while training.

On the eve of the camp, Rina invited her middle school friend Suzuo Tozono to come to play at home. Rina’s home has a set of professional game equipment—different from the image of a mature and sensible young lady to others, Rina has some hobbies. Surprisingly childish.It was already night after the game was cleared, because it was too late, Li Ming asked Zhu Xu to stay here for one night, and asked the driver to take her back tomorrow.

Zhuxu has often come to her house to play since she was in middle school, so the servants at home are very familiar with her, and Zhuxu is used to it, so she won't feel embarrassed.

She was lying on the sofa with a psp in her hand, and Li Ming was lying on the bed playing mobile games, because the screen of the psp in her hand jumped to the seaside, Zhu Xu suddenly thought of something, so she said: "Speaking of... our school has been promoted , I was the second singles in the last final. I plan to have a sleepover with other schools during the summer vacation, and the location is by the sea."

"Congratulations," Li Ming manipulated the characters in the mobile game, and then said, "Luoshan also plans to have a one-week camp for the next Winter Cup, and it will start tomorrow."

"Eh? Tomorrow!" Zhu Xu turned over and got up from the sofa, looked at Li Ming in surprise and asked, "Then why didn't the big sister go to pack her luggage? I have been playing games today."

"I don't really want to go." Li Ming lowered his eyelids slightly, and said casually, "Then it will be fine to ask the coach for leave under the pretext of having a fever."

"You can't say that!" Zhu Xu looked more positive than her. She threw away the psp and ran to Li Ming's side, glanced at Li Ming's ipad screen and said, "This skill is here. The big sister is really annoying, Even if you really have a fever, you have to go! Such a good opportunity. And... the eldest sister is the manager."

Li Ming clicked the skill button on the screen silently, and then continued after a pause: "Other people can do the job of the manager. The place where we live together is a special training institution, and there are corresponding coaches and analysts in it. It's nothing to go."

"Big sister... what are you awkward about?" Zhu Xu looked at her for a while, then asked suddenly.

Rina's slender fingers that danced on the screen froze undetectably, and then due to negligence in the operation, the English word "gameover" appeared on the top of the screen.

"Why do you say that?" Li Ming asked indifferently, and she restarted a game.

"Big sister is not the kind of capricious setting where she can do whatever she wants, and give up if she doesn't want to. There must be a reason why big sister doesn't want to go to the camp." Zhu Xu bit her lip, and she looked at Li Ming's expression , hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is just my guess, the reason why the elder sister doesn't go to the camp is probably related to Akashi-kun."

"That. Although I don't know Akashi-kun very well, and I haven't communicated much before..." Zhuo thought for a while and said, "But he is not the kind of person who would casually agree to confess to others, after all, there are so many women All the children like him. At that time, I made a bet with my eldest sister on the premise that Akashi-kun would refuse. In this case, the reason why he agreed to you is not because...he is serious?"

What is she awkward about?

"Zhuxu, I..." Li Ming was about to speak, but finally gave up. She sighed, put down the tablet, got up from the bed, smiled and said, "I know, I'm going to pack my luggage box."

——She occasionally felt that Akashi-kun was like someone else.

Whether that feeling was an illusion or something, she couldn't tell.It's just that there's no way to ignore it.

In the sea near Kanagawa, the sky is clear and cloudless. In this hot weather, there is still a breeze blowing through the emerald green treetops.

Summer has come.

It only takes more than an hour to get to Kanagawa from Tokyo by light rail, which is faster than taking a bus or driving alone. Therefore, the members who want to participate in the camp did not agree on a transportation route, but chose the nearest one, and finally gathered at the station.

When Li Ming dragged the suitcase out of the station, it was more than ten minutes before the appointed time, and there was a constant flow of people coming and going in the station.

Before she was in middle school, she had been staying in Kanagawa, by her grandfather's side, so Kanagawa was even more familiar to her than Tokyo and Kyoto. To calm her down.

perhaps……

Akashi was the second to arrive. After meeting at the agreed place, the two nodded and greeted briefly, and soon after, others arrived one after another—except for one person.

"Really, why hasn't Nebugu arrived yet?" 5 minutes have passed, and the members of the Luoshan basketball club have always been punctual under Akashi's strict requirements. Such a serious lateness is unheard of. It's good to be exposed to the sun After a while Shibuki curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

At this time, Akashi, who was silent, received a call. He hung up after asking some questions, and said lightly: "Yongji is lost. I asked him to stay where he is for the time being. The landmark building near him is the Citigroup on the first floor. The bank's office building, let's go find it separately and meet here later."

"The Citibank nearby... I know where it is." Li Ming whispered after thinking for a while, "If it hasn't been moved."

"Then, lead the way." Akashi's eyes fell on her.

Speechless all the way.

After the frank confession that day, Rina consciously reduced the private communication with Akashi-kun. Whether Akashi understood her thoughts and chose to cooperate, or just simply didn't care, she didn't know.

However, when it comes to business matters, the two can cooperate tacitly to solve it, whether it is the search for Senior Nebuya this time, or every training and plan of the basketball team.
