Trapped in the sunset

"General."

Wei Young turned her head away in frustration, and looked out the window with a hint of depression.

A faint smile flashed across the strange-colored eyes of the red-haired boy beside her, and the chess piece in his hand dropped decisively——

—— "You lost again, Wei Young."

His voice is permeated with joy, it's obviously a pleasant voice, but it has no effect at all in the ears of Wei Young, who has lost three games in a row.How could she be so easily persuaded by him to play chess with him?How can she be so stupid?Ah——no, no, last semester she only watched him play shogi by himself, so she didn't know that he was also good at chess, she was innocent!

"Akashi-kun, didn't you already let your subordinates show mercy?" She muttered to the boy as if she was helpless, but also as if she was complaining.

At this time, only Weiyang and Akashi Seijuro were left in the classroom.

It's been four days since school started.And in these four days, although the familiar and unfamiliar people in the class cannot be said to be complete, they can also see the phenomenon of beginning to blend in.Case in point: during the squabbling of some people who have been in Group A since last year, now and then you can hear them trying to include the voices of those "outsiders".It is a good proof that most of them met to have lunch together today.

At that time, Wei Young just silently glanced at everyone, the corners of her mouth moved, and finally she shook her head apologetically at Harada Ai's expectant gaze.In fact, it's not that she didn't think that if she wants to have a good relationship with her classmates, she must take the initiative, and it's not that she didn't think that if she wanted to cross the wall between them, she had to step out by herself, but because she subconsciously When the teenager who calmly watched the frolicking crowd calmly turned his gaze to his side and didn't show any sign of participation, he involuntarily made the same decision.

——Sometimes Wei Young feels that she has become a little weird.

She held her chin with one hand, her gray eyes were a little confused.

Akashi, who had a panoramic view of the girl's performance, sighed silently.

——The man was thinking wildly again.

How could Wei Young, who has always known the girl well, be unclear about Wei Young's reason for rejecting Harada Ai's invitation?Her tenderness can only be known by those who have experienced it; that kind of ignorant thoughtfulness, that kind of subtle and imperceptible tolerance, the sacrifice she can make for a person may not even be understood by herself.But he got it.

Just because he understands that he is the one who accepts her tenderness.

"Are you coming after school today?"

In order to divert her thoughts, he asked this question.

Wei Young tilted his head and thought about it: "The activities of the music club are suspended today, so it should be possible. It is said that Minister Suzuki and Senior Matsui plan to use the next few days to assign new members to the club and the band. So they Just issued a notice that all club activities will be canceled until next Monday."

"It's such an important decision that you, the vice president, don't need to go?"

Wei Young shrugged: "Isn't it just to make up for the lack of manpower on the day of the orientation meeting and drag me down as a supervisor to do odd jobs. The seniors will let me go on vacation for nothing." Said so verbally, but Akashi still glanced at it. There was a sentence written on the screen of the mobile phone in her hand——

——『President, please let me know if you need help. 』

. . .

Hayama Kotaro was looking around in the gym full of energy, but when he couldn't see the person he wanted to see, he lowered his head sadly: "Hey, Akashi, is the manager still not here?" How pitiful was that tone and voice How pitiful.

Shizhi Lingyang looked at the captain who was planning their next week's training with the notebook in her hand, and walked slowly to his side and asked him: "Is it okay if you don't tell Xiaotaro that Xiaoyang is just a little late? If you go down to train, you will have no motivation."

Akashi raised his eyes to look at a team member who was performing the scene of being abandoned by the master, and then looked at the face in front of him, "If I hadn't accidentally heard the content of your conversation with Xiaoyang, would you be the other one who even kept me from hiding it? A pain in the forehead. Why does he always have this kind of member?

- this kind. . .A member who made him want to ignore him. . .Obviously always let him hold his breath in his heart, but in the end let them do whatever they want within the scope of his permission.

"Generation of Miracles" is, and so is Naksan's team now.

"By the way, Nishimura-kun and Dai Qianxun are really quite different."

Ling Yang, with a smile hidden in her eyes, pretended to be unintentional and said.

Akashi responded without looking back: "Isn't this nonsense?"

Nishimura Hiroki is a second-year member who left Dai Chihiro as one of the main members.Different from Dai Qianxun's withdrawn and proud, Nishimura Hiroki gives people the impression that he is more like an amiable boy next door—provided that he is outside the basketball court.Although Nishimura's hair color and pupils tend to be darker, Akashi still has a headache to find that he can always see Kise's shadow in this new main candidate, er, fortunately, he is not as Kise. . .Breed like?To put it simply, it is the type of human being who can talk to everyone, has a good temper, looks good and eats well.

Very well, Kise Ryota Chuji's personality has been split in two in the Luoshan basketball club.Should he be glad that Kotaro Hayama and Hiroki Nishimura are not models, so they are still "peaceful" in Luoshan?

But when it comes to ball skills, although Xunxicun can both attack and defend compared to Dai Qian, he is better at defense than offense.This is one of the reasons why Akashi is still considering where to put him.

"Actually, Xiaozheng, you can try putting Nishimura at the center forward position. Anyway, Yongji changed from power forward to center forward when he was in high school."

Akashi tapped on the paper with the tip of his pen, even though he did not make a sound, he clearly expressed his agreement with Reo's suggestion.

. . .

Wei Young sat in the corner of the housekeeping room, checking the desserts in the oven from time to time, and at the same time did not forget to use this time to analyze the score in her hand.After responding to the tour invitation of the Welsh Symphony Orchestra, the other party has sent her the tracks one by one.There is only one song, and for her, this one is her official debut song.

- Piano Concerto No. 1 by Tchaikovsky. "Tchaikovsky's Concertopourpianono.[-]"

In a daze, she remembered her father's proud but somewhat sad expression when he learned that she was going to participate in this concert tour a few days ago, and his exclamation of "you have really grown up" afterwards.At that time, Wei Young, who heard her father say that, actually wanted to refute: No matter how old I am, I still need you. . .

——So, can you please stop showing such a lonely look?

——Could you stop using the excuse that my brother and I have "grown up" to escape again and again and blame yourself again and again?

Haiyin Sizhen called her yesterday, and when she asked about what happened recently, Wei Young finally couldn't help crying.The inexplicable grievances and unwillingness accumulated in my heart erupted at that moment, and the emotions that I had been trying to bear for so many years seemed to find a vent and gushed out.She couldn't remember how long she had been crying, but she only knew that she stopped after being teased by her anxious and incoherent brother.

She is really grateful, because after crying, she only feels that a certain burden in her heart has finally been let go of by her.

The sound of the oven brought her back to reality.Wei Young stood up, put on her gloves and opened the door of the oven to look at the snacks in there, and took them out with satisfaction and put them into the box she had prepared long ago.Then she looked at the wall clock on the wall, and left the housekeeping room at a faster pace.

Wei Young, who walked a little fast along the way, slowed down when approaching the basketball court.She listened to the sound of the whistle coming from the hall and the shouts of the teenagers, and unconsciously touched the corners of her lips.

——It’s really energetic, those people inside.

Standing outside the unclosed side door and looking in, Wei Yang saw the red-haired boy who rarely played basketball at a glance.Not in a hurry to go in, she just stood outside the door and watched the ongoing ball game: five-on-five, positive selection and alternate.Among the familiar figures, she found a team member with an unfamiliar face, and instantly realized that he should be the newly popularized member.It may be because they are still running in, this game obviously did not appear to be one-sided.

She looked at it for a while, and finally opened the door and walked in after the red-haired boy finally called out "10 minutes of rest".

Wei Young immediately understood how wise it was for her to wait until this time to go in.

"Little manager! Long time no see!!"

Hayama Kotaro, who caught a glimpse of her inadvertently, flew towards her—of course he stopped when he was three steps away from her, he didn't want to be punished by Akashi.Then his big round eyes stared at the box in Wei Young's hand without blinking.

Wei Young smiled and handed him the box: "Take it, Senior Ye Shan. Inside is the egg tart I just made."

"Little manager, you are an unmistakable angel! Woo, it smells so good~ I want to eat quickly, eat quickly, and when Yongji comes, there will be nothing left."

"Wow~ What is that? It smells so fragrant~ Hey, Hayama, is that something brought about by experience? Share it with me!"

"Ah! Yongji, go away!! It's mine, hey! Don't take so many at once!"

"What's the matter? There are many more."

"Didn't you just eat beef rice?!"

"That was an hour ago."

"You ate ten boxes, ten boxes!! Please control it!"

"For muscle, eat!"

"Are you listening to me?!"

Shi Lingyang supports the forehead.He knew his two never-grown-up teammates would fight like kindergarteners in the presence of everyone else.

——It's really embarrassing enough.

Akashi Seijuro ignored the noisy team members and walked to Wei Young, and said softly, "You really don't have to keep agreeing to their lawless demands."

Wei Young smiled and replied: "It's just food, it's okay." Then she took out a bottle of mineral water from her schoolbag: "Take it, I just bought it on the way."

He took the water bottle and jokingly said, "Mine is just "drop in"? "

She looked at him helplessly: "I remember you don't like sweets."

Now he actually laughed out loud.

The eyes of different colors were soft and soft at that moment.

——That is, the gentleness that belongs only to the girl in front of me.

"Thank you, Wei Young."
