Chapter 431 On the eve of the sports festival, there is a basketball practice match
"By the way, Lejun, do you want to practice basketball with us now?"
"Let me go over there and get an eye roll every five seconds?"
"."
Amami Kuruuri lowered her head and fell silent. Recalling what happened in school yesterday, she felt a little sorry for Sakakibara Raku.
——I proposed to him to practice together, and then thought about coming over in July. As long as the two of them get along for a while, they can remember their past friendship and get closer despite the distance.
but.
It always backfires.
Every five seconds, Qiuyue would say something venomous to Lejun. Lejun would not give in to Qiu now, and then the two of them would mock each other mercilessly with harsh words.
It felt uncomfortable to be caught next to the two of them.
Do you think it is necessary for two people to poke each other's scars like this?
Playing basketball is full of gunpowder.
"Lejun, can you try to give in to Qiyue?"
"Why let it go?"
"Because maybe Qi Qi is waiting for you to soften your attitude, Lejun?"
"Why didn't she just relax and wait for me?"
"Because it was Lejun who did something excessive before. It's not like Lejun doesn't know how important Qiyue attaches to Lejun."
"Let's discuss the matter, Liuli."
"Okay." Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded.
"I never care what Qiyue said to me. I have done something wrong, and of course I will try my best to make up for it. My demands are indeed too much for you."
"Then why is Lejun still so angry with Qiyue?"
"She said things that she, as July, should never have said. I can't accept that she didn't acknowledge her childhood self who was saved by compassion.
"She thinks my sympathy is unnecessary. Liuli, do you remember what I said to you yesterday afternoon?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli thought for a while and tentatively guessed:
"Lejun wants to be loved?"
Sakakihara shook his head, "To be precise, it's the sentence 'My life comes from the recognition of others. I give my family as much care as possible and hope to receive love in return'."
What does this mean?
Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't want to listen blindly, because if she didn't think about it, she believed that it would be impossible to reconcile the relationship between him and Qiyue.
Therefore, after careful consideration, I tentatively asked:
"Because Lejun relied on these emotions to support himself in the past. By asking Lejun to give up his sympathy in July, is he denying Lejun your fundamental motivation?"
"It's the fundamental personality!"
Sakakibara burst into laughter, then calmed down.
"Since she asked me to abandon my compassion, that's good, but it also means that she denies the past, and she herself doesn't want to be saved by me.
"I used to believe that Qiyue was someone who understood me, and I was willing to take responsibility for her feelings because of this. But since she doesn't even recognize me as a person, why should I contact her again?
"Everyone is born as an individual. There is no one who is the child of destiny or the person who is destined. Since Qiyue thinks so, she doesn't even agree with her past self. Then I don't want to beg her so humbly anymore."
After Raku Sakakihara explained carefully, he glanced at the time on his watch.
"Okay, Liuli, I don't want to explain too much about July. I have a game with people from the basketball club at noon. You can make your own arrangements at noon today."
After he said these words, he walked straight to the teaching building.
well.
Amami Kuruuri stood under the shade of the zelkova tree, watching Sakakibara Raku's back go away.
The girl sighed slightly in her heart.
She thought to herself that the relationship between Lejun and Qiyue was more serious than she imagined.
Qi Qi was angry because Le Jun didn't keep his promise.
Lejun was angry because Qiyue didn't recognize him and even asked Lejun to change his long-standing insistence.
Perhaps Lejun’s current changes are just what he had hoped for in July?
The current Lejun is the result of Qiyue's hope that he would abandon his sympathy?
Sure enough, in this world, people can’t understand each other after all?
Tianhai Jiuliuli even felt that he did not agree with what Qi Qi had said to Le Jun before, the words "I'm fed up with putting myself in someone else's shoes".
If there is no empathy, there will be a lack of empathy.
If you don’t put yourself in someone else’s shoes, why do you expect others to understand you? Empathize with yourself?
She felt little hope for the future of the two of them.
Will the two of them really go their separate ways in the future?
No, there is no use in sighing. Now that I understand the true thoughts of the two people, I have to work hard to find a solution.

There are still 11 days until the official start of the sports festival.
Well, what should I say?
In addition to studying, the entire campus also involves sports. On the one hand, you have to prepare for the final exam, and on the other hand, you have to practice in advance for the sports festival events.
Therefore, even though it was eight o'clock sharp in Tokyo time and there was no sunlight in the sky, there were still many people left on the school playground.
"Hmm. Ha."
Yuki's slightly childish voice caressed both ears, and Sakakihara couldn't help but slow down the rhythm so that she could be more comfortable.
"Yuki, if it doesn't work, just take a rest."
"No. It's not easy for Mingmingle to still have such physical strength. You can stay with me alone. You should be more proactive."
Seeing Amami Nozuki's extremely red face, Sakakibara was happy to see that she was still willing to persevere, so he could only say Amitabha in his heart.
Then she used one hand to dunk down the basketball she was trying to defend.
Now Tianhai Zhixue really couldn't stand it anymore, so she sat down on the grass.
The sweat-stained sweatshirt was stuck to her body. Not only the curves of her body, but also the traces of underwear on her shoulders and chest could be clearly seen.
"Lele's physical strength is really, really amazing," Tianhai Zhixue gasped, the redness on her face not completely gone.
"Don't use such strange words, others will misunderstand you. But if Liuli hears this, I'll be happy to stab me in the back."
Raku Sakakihara sat down next to her, putting the basketball beside him.
Looking up, the sky above Tokyo is a deep blue.
The plane left a trail in the clouds, shining with bright spots of light.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Why did Le say that."
"Living is quite tiring, isn't it? If you think about it carefully, death is actually nothing. You can sleep peacefully and forever. You will no longer be in a dilemma, and you will no longer feel uncomfortable when you make mistakes, hurting others and yourself."
Amami no Yuki hugged her legs and turned her head to look at Sakakibara Raku's side face looking up at the sky. She was obviously very happy to have Raku practicing basketball with her tonight, but seeing his expression suddenly made her feel quite depressed.
Immediately afterwards, there was another sense of powerlessness.
Even though I was by his side, I couldn't give him anything or help him.
"It's just an inexplicable complaint!"
Raku Sakakihara suddenly smiled, met the slightly lowered gaze of Amami Noyuki, and touched her head with the big white flower on top.
"Don't worry, for me, yuki is also unique to me at the moment. There are not many things that can support my life now, yuki you are the one."
"But, I obviously haven't done anything to help Le."
"trust."
"."
"Absolute trust counts as one," Raku Sakakibara continued, staring at himself reflected in Amami no Snow's eyes, "Yuki will definitely do what I say now, right?"
"Well, whatever Le says, I will do."
How should I describe this feeling?
Trust without a trace of doubt or suspicion, without caring about anything else, with the world in your eyes being all about yourself, is indeed something that makes people persevere.
It is precisely because of this that Sakakihara Raku does not want to ruthlessly remove the only sun in her world.
Perhaps Sakakibara Raku's smile and head-touching were very effective for Amami Noyuki, and her heart felt a lot warmer.
She felt that she owed too much to Le.
It's all because of my own happiness that I became what I am now.
"I want to give Le a squeeze on my shoulders."
"Huh? That's a good relationship. Come on."
Raku Sakakibara sat up slightly, and Amami Noyuki immediately came behind him. Although the movements were a bit clumsy, they were sincere, and it felt particularly comfortable even if the squeeze was uncomfortable.
The July wind blew gently, and my body soaked with sweat felt a warm coolness. The beech tree next to the stadium rustled in the night. A little further away, the students in the track and field department were still shouting slogans and persisting.
running.
"Well, sister Liuli said this afternoon that she wanted to ask Lejun for something."
"Is something wrong?"
Raku Sakakihara closed his eyes and enjoyed the shoulder massage service from Amami Nozuki behind him.
"If something happened, why didn't Liuli tell me by herself? Ah, that's right, Qi Qiu will be there in the afternoon, so it's not good for her to talk to me alone. Just tell me what's the matter."
"Sister Liuli said that the members of the basketball team have been found."
Basketball is a five-player game, and their women's basketball currently only has four players, Liuli, Qiyue, Ling, and Zhixue.
"Who was invited by the fifth person?"
"Sweet."
The timid girl immediately appeared in Sakakibara's mind, "Ah, it's true. It was probably Suzu who fooled her into this. She's not a girl who likes sports."
If you think about it carefully, this basketball team is really a bit shabby.
In July, A Ling is a weak athlete, and Zhi Xue, although her physical strength is not bad, is a newbie among newbies, so she is practicing hard every day.
Tian Nai probably can’t either.
In other words, Liuli can be considered a "leap-level athlete". She must be the power forward in the team, specializing in offense and defense.
"Then, Sister Liuli also said that the team has been formed and has been practicing for several days. I want Le to help me."
"help?"
"Well, sister Liuli said that Le has been very close to the people in the basketball club recently, and she wants Le to help organize a practice match against each other."
Ah, got it.
Before, they were almost practicing basic skills on their own, and they had not really experienced any actual combat.
Now that the team is fully assembled, I want to try it out in practice.
It is indeed possible to find someone from the basketball club.
It is indeed more convenient for Liuli to invite people from the basketball club through herself.
It's just that all the people I know are boys.
Will they agree?

"What?! There is such a good thing?!"
Okay, Sakakihara decided to take back his idea last night.
When I hear that these guys can play ball with girls, it's really like - to describe it as a chicken blood, it's no exaggeration.
The head of the basketball club is senior Makino Yo, who usually looks ordinary, but is a very decent and sunny boy, so I am particularly happy.
He was unwilling to give up this opportunity of a practice match to the girls in the club.
Although there are no girls in his club.
Are there really any girls willing to join this smelly men's club that is full of sweat every day?
Ah, speaking of which, it was only recently after I joined the basketball club that they hired a female manager.
Makino Yang directly put his arms around Sakakibara Raku's neck, and said to the members in front of him very generously in their club classroom decorated only with basketballs and jerseys:
"Let me just say, it is a very wise choice for Junior Sakakibara to join our club."
The deputy minister, wearing a pair of rimless glasses and a bookish face, but tall and thin, Senior Gao Shan held his forehead and said helplessly:
"When I said that I wanted Sakakibara to join, I don't know who or where said that after he joins, there will be no girls watching our games, and he must not be allowed to come in, or something like that."
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Why don't I, the minister, know about it?"
Makino Yang grinned widely, and when he saw that the club members were looking at him with dead eyes, he immediately changed the topic and became serious.
"Ahem, let's get back to business. Of course we can help with the things you mentioned, Sakakihara. Although the basketball club has a large number of people, there are only a few people who actually participate in club activities. Everyone has their own circle. Basketball
In fact, we only practice this with a few classmates we have good relationships with.
"And this sports festival is not only held by our school, but people from other campuses will also come to participate. As the basketball club of Myingtoku Junior High School, we have an obligation to help the women's basketball team in our school improve their strength! This is an unshirkable obligation.
"So, when and where is this competition?"
Sakakibara shrugged:
"It's not clear yet. They haven't decided yet. I only found out about it yesterday."
"That's okay, it doesn't matter. When it's confirmed, it won't be too late to let us know. We'll be available at any time."
Even if you agree to this matter.
Several classmates from the basketball club are quite serious about this matter, and are still discussing whether to try to keep their hands or something, so as not to make the opponent look too ugly and lose face.
"Hey, Sakakibara."
"do what?"
Sakakihara turned his head and saw Fujino Yoshiyuki coming to his side.
This guy had been playing basketball with me for a long time, so he joined the basketball club.
Anyway, in his previous department, he was also doing odd jobs.
As soon as someone said that playing basketball would make his girlfriend like him more, he jumped on the bandwagon.
"Sakakibara, who are you talking about, the girls' basketball team that wants our help?"
"Didn't I say that just now?"
"No, you never said it."
Didn't you say it originally?
So why are they so excited?
Or are they just overjoyed to hear that they can play basketball with girls?
"Isn't it Liuli's team?"
Fujino Yoshiyuki was stunned, "The team of deputy squad leader Jiujiu Liuli?"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Sakakihara Raku didn't understand why he looked like this.
