[Volleyball] Please, please give me a mole with tears and bright eyes!

Takashi Sugawara slapped Tanaka's unruly hand and told him to stand still.

Seeing this little move, Kong Wenlu covered her mouth and sniggered underneath.

It was the morning meeting that the whole school gathered on Monday, but this time it was very different because of the practice meeting of the sports club before the opening of the High School Cup.

High School Cup - Japan's National High School Comprehensive Sports Conference, referred to as InterHigh, is the first high school event that includes many sports, and it is a top goal that is not uncommon in countless comics, novels, animations, and TV dramas about youth.

It is similar to China's National Games in terms of status, but it is based on school associations rather than individual athletes.The Karasuno High School Men's Volleyball Club will first face the pre-qualification for the IH tournament in Miyagi Prefecture. Only one spot in the entire county can go to the national competition.

The brutality of competition is self-evident.

The head of the sports club and the members of the sports club took the stage to give a speech one by one, expressing their determination to face this highest competition. After Sawamura Daichi spoke, it was the women's volleyball team. Zhai Green looked at her best friend, the head of the women's women's volleyball team, with a firm expression. He also has the appearance of a leader, so he feels relieved.

When returning to the classroom, Kong Wenlu called Sugawara to stop, and handed him the shoe box with the bag.

Sugawara was surprised. When he opened the box, there was a pair of brand new volleyball shoes. Although the price tag had been removed, he knew it was not cheap by looking at the brand. The size was also his own. "What are these for? Why did you give me these?"

"Birthday present, I'll give it to you in advance." In Kong Wenlu's mind, practicality is much more important than romanticism. It's better to be useful than grabbing some surprises: "...although it's only June [-]th. It's your birthday, but the preliminaries in Miyagi prefecture will start in early June." She paused for a moment, then wondered if this would be too reserved, so her already soft tone became weaker: " Uh... can't I accept it...? I hope to give you a little help..."

In view of the fact that Takumi is only two centimeters shorter than Sugawara, it is impossible for her to hide her eyes when she is downcast. During the moment of silence, Sugawara watched the other party's long and slender eyelashes cast a shallow shadow on the eyelids, and thought for a moment. With the urge to touch her eyelashes, he clenched his fists and put his tone in the softest way: "...I'm very happy, midori."

So Kong Wenlu looked up at him again, the darker irises than ordinary Asians pulled him like a deep pool, Takashi Sugawara sighed in his heart that he was hopeless. "Thank you for remembering my birthday so clearly. I will work hard. But...you can't refuse my gift on your birthday, it's October [-]st, right~" He smiled with white and straight teeth , I accepted the gift without being pretentious, there are more important things to be resolved than being polite to people who like each other with double arrows——"Midori, the table tennis match you told me on the phone last time, the preliminary round When is it, can I go see it if I want to?" It seems that it is a good thing that my sweetheart has the willingness to approach the road that will not waste her own talents. Kong Wenlu, whom Sugawara saw, is undoubtedly good at holding the racket and is very happy .

"Ah, that, no need, the time for the preliminary competition of the amateur group of the All Japan Table Tennis Championships collides with the preliminary competition time of IH." Kong Wenlu smiled and shook his head. It was a good start for him to accept the gift, right?

"Eh? Why?" Takashi Sugawara, who was ready to support Kong Wenlu, didn't expect this, and his hair drooped.

"The amateur group is originally a competition for social table tennis enthusiasts. The preliminary competition was also scheduled in early June to exclude high school students who participated in the school table tennis club of IH." Kong Wenlu explained to Sugawara that she had no table tennis club. It is very troublesome for the school to participate in many large-scale competitions, but it is not too much to focus on. This competition that Liu Wei mentioned to her before has several elements that are very beneficial to her. One is that the amateur group does not need to register in the name of the school. This competition is open to foreigners who have lived in Japan for more than three years. The last point is also the most important: the national semi-finalists in the amateur group who have been selected through layers of amateur selection will be eligible to participate in the professional group competition in Tokyo.

Although it is the same competition, professional and amateur are very different.All Japan Table Tennis Championship professional players are professional athletes who have registered with the Japan Table Tennis Association, and many of them are frequent visitors to international events such as the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympic Games.Generally speaking, the Japanese table tennis championships that people say refer to the professional group, and the people selected in the amateur group just symbolize the meaning of friendly exchanges, um, cannon fodder. ——It is normal to be brushed down in the first round.

Zhai Lu, who won No.12 in Shanghai at the age of 1, is very calm: "The amateur group preliminary competition is just a warm-up, I will rush over to watch the match between you and Jie Jiang as soon as possible, work hard."

"Follow me~Midori-sama~we will advance!" Sugawara jokingly saluted her with a smile in his voice.

Kong Wenlu froze for a moment—he blushed for not being able to withstand the impact of this close-range pose.

The lethality of the archangel has increased...

"..." Seeing her blushing, Sugawara didn't make a sound, his face was a little hot due to the atmosphere, and for a while, only the sound of classmates playing around on campus was left.

"Then... I'll go back first...don't be late for class later." Finally, Kong Wenlu couldn't bear the sudden embarrassment, seeing that Sugawara was wearing a black and orange uniform and needed to change, so he was ready to go back

"Wait!" - Sugawara grabbed her by the sleeve as soon as she turned around.

Eh?Eh? ?What is this unfolding?

The atmosphere just now was strange enough, but now it's even more...?Kong Wenlu's head was about to freeze, she turned around and didn't know what to say and didn't dare to look directly at Sugawara's eyes, she lowered her head and stared at the hand that the boy let go after pulling her back.

Fortunately, Kong Wenlu, who was so nervous that he got into the soil, didn't ask, and Sugawara spoke. In fact, his heart rate is now comparable to that after a 1000-meter run: "Well... after the county qualifiers, I have something to say to you explain."

"...What's the matter?" Kong Wenlu looked up, his eyes were obviously confused.The light-haired boy felt cute and helpless seeing her like this - he was still very introverted even after giving himself a gift, and would not express a little more than a friend.

He doesn't get paid for nothing, and he's not someone who just accepts gifts from female classmates so casually. Confessions must be on the agenda.After the county qualifiers is also the time to fill out the graduation entry form, let's talk to her at that time.

Sugawara made up his mind, took a bold step, and did what he had always wanted to do before.

Kong Wenlu stared blankly at Sugawara who quickly reached out and rubbed the top of her head, and said heartily, "You will know when the time comes!" Then he ran away with the shoebox in his arms.

?

Petrochemical.

? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

After the petrification, Zhai Lu's expression was unbelievable, so what, she was molested just now, right? ? !

Killed by an archangel? ! !

Kong Wenlu's face exploded wonderfully, and one of the few IQs recalled that Sugawara seemed to be blushing in the atmosphere just now?

It seems, maybe, maybe that's Sugawara's special treatment for her?

Kong Wenlu touched her head, walked back in a daze.
