[Heizi's Basketball] The Boys of the Former Summer

☆Aomine Daiki

People always like to use words like "the past" and "the past", as if saying such words can express how mature they are now and how much they miss the past.

Aomine seldom recalls the past, he doesn't like sentimental words like "memory", and he doesn't think there is anything worth recalling.But recently, he always thinks of that summer, the summer when the sun was shining brightly and roasting the earth like a fire.

After returning from the city aquarium, Qingfeng sat on the way back, his ears filled with noisy voices at the same table.He propped his head on his hands, and then looked at the scene in the car window, and suddenly remembered the delicate and clean face of the boy.The memory is already blurred, Qingfeng frowned slightly and was in a daze for a while, then thought: On the last day, they seemed to have gone to the last summer festival of that summer.

That's true, a summer without going to the summer festival is not a complete summer, said Momoi Itsuki.

The crappy and uncomfortable yukata that was forced to be put on, the blue hem dragged to the feet, making it difficult to walk. Although there are endless snacks and small games unique to the festival, the most important thing to watch is the last fireworks The General Assembly——this is Aomine's impression of the summer festival all the time. It's neither good nor bad, but if you can't go, you definitely won't go.

However, after seeing Kise who was fully dressed and ready to go, Qingfeng finally had the mentality of "comparing people with others, making people angry". Now.It's just a very ordinary warm yellow bathrobe, dotted with beautiful yellow goldfish, and tied around the waist with a red belt, which instantly gives people a stunning feeling.And the yellow pupils were shining brightly, and the excitement on the face made others happy too. Sure enough, the color is still very important.

"Is this the first time for Kise-kun to go to a festival? So excited." It wasn't until Wuyue's voice brought Aomine back to reality, realizing that he was stunned by Kise, Aomine turned his head embarrassedly and walked towards the elevator go.

"Yes, my mother always said that there are many people in the festival, and the food will not taste good, so she never comes out for me."

Indeed, Kise's mother asked him not to participate in such festivals since he was a child, and always refused to let him go out on the grounds of chaos and dirty things.Maybe it's because she is engaged in the art industry, so she always likes elegant things, but she doesn't know that these are the things that children love the most, and they also have the most childhood meaning.

- so want to see it, but it is difficult to see it.

This kind of mood is hard to explain, just like the unspeakable sense of loss when I went to the supermarket with my parents when I was young and saw my favorite toy clamoring to buy it, but my parents refused to agree.

"Let's go." As the elevator door opened, Qingfeng walked into the elevator and then turned to them and said with a smile.

It's like happiness is opening in front of me, hey, can you feel it?This midsummer that can be touched by reaching out, and the corner of the boy's clothes that can be touched by raising one's hand.

This is the first time to participate in this kind of festival, everything is full of freshness and curiosity, the boy loves to play tricks, causing Kise to fidget in the car, not to mention how excited he is looking around.How should I describe Kise at that time?Dancing like holding the whole world in front of him, even if the crowd is crowded, he is still terribly happy, and he refuses to stop eating all the snacks until he is satisfied.And he has always been good at catching goldfish, but he can't compare with Huang Lai, which made him depressed for a long time.

Then she was dragged to help her set dolls by Wuyue. God knows where she threw all the little things that she helped her set up in the past.But looking at such a sincere appearance in May, it is really hard to refuse.

"That's right, that's the biggest doll, super cute."

"It's so big, it's hard for the small ring to fit on it without slipping off." Qingfeng looked at the small ring in his hand, then weighed it up and decisively threw the bamboo ring towards the broadcasting box next to the doll.

"Ada is super bad, and he keeps saying that he is good at basketball."

"It's okay with this basketball, the one you shoot will probably slide down, if you can't..." Before Qingfeng finished speaking, he saw a bamboo hoop flying by, entrapping the biggest doll straight away, and when he When he turned his head in a daze, he saw the relaxed and helpless Kise shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's so simple, it's really easy to learn." His eyebrows were raised, revealing his inherent pride from the inside out , who didn't know how to be reserved at all gave Qingfeng the illusion of being slapped.

"You play often? You look very good at it."

"Ah, it's the first time I played, and I just found out that it's super simple." Who can cut this guy with such a sloppy expression, without such a demeaning side.Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, looked at Kise with interest, as if staring at a worthy opponent and said: "Let's compare."

"Okay, who's afraid of who?"

Hey, it's just a small game. Why do you guys act like you're going to fight? It's really stressful.

So during the match between the two, the scene was full of people, and Wu Yue's bright smile was in sharp contrast to the stall owner's stiff expression of wanting to cry but not being able to cry.Fortunately, in the end, the three of them only took two dolls because they thought they had too many trophies, and used the rest as funds to buy bamboo rings.

The stall owner who sent away the two great gods wiped away his old tears and sighed: Is it easy for me to come out to support my family?The fortune is bad, the fleeting time is unfavorable! !Of course, these are all things they don't know.

After the three of them played it all, they went to the beach when they were idle and bored.The bonfire on the beach was bright at night, and Huang Lai felt that the novelty dragged the two of them to join the bonfire dance. The cotton candy in his hand was not finished yet, and the sweet taste was still full of taste buds.A group of people held hands and danced a random unknown dance.

Really happy, don't have to think about any bad things, don't have to care about any painful things.Qingfeng turned his head in such thoughts, and seeing Kise who was smiling so brightly, he suddenly felt very warm and warm, and a thought came to him, he thought like this: Fortunately, I met him.

Feeling his hand being pulled, Huang Lai held the goldfish he just caught in one hand, and dragged Qingfeng out with the other.He dragged him to the edge of the sea, the waves beat against his feet, and the cold feeling was very comfortable.Huang Lai squatted down, picked up a small stone to write and draw on the ground, and then said: "I feel worried about gain and loss, I am afraid that I will wake up all of a sudden, I am so happy that I even feel that the happiness I have now is stolen from me." "The sea breeze blew on his face, blowing his bangs up, which happened to cover up the sadness in his tone.Qingfeng squatted down together, not knowing what to say.

Noticing the goldfish in his hand, Kise seemed to suddenly remember something and continued to say: "There used to be a big fish tank at home. I pestered my mother to buy it before the summer festival. At that time, I was looking forward to the festival every day. Go catch a few more goldfish." After a pause, Huang Lai laughed self-deprecatingly, and he continued, "But later, the big fish tank turned yellow and dirty and was put in the storage room, so I still couldn't go to the festival."

"I thought I would never come, but I didn't expect that I would come, I'm really afraid," Huang Lai sniffed, and opened the plastic bag containing the goldfish in his hand, his tone was full of fear and depression With a sobbing tone that can be easily heard, he said, "I'm afraid it's just a sweet dream."

Qingfeng still didn't speak, he looked at Kise quietly, the unspeakable feeling overflowed from his chest to his throat, but he fell silent the moment he blurted out.

Huang Lai slowly put the bag into the sea water, and the goldfish quickly flowed into the sea along with the water.

——I know you will die, but before you die, please take a look at this beautiful world with your heart.

——While this world is not so dark yet, it will not be cruel enough to swallow everything up.

At this time, the fireworks above the head had already exploded brilliantly, reflecting waves of light on the sea.Those who wanted to say or refused to say were all covered by loud noises.Aomine watched Kise stand up and turn his head, the sadness just faded away, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.Maybe Aomine will never forget Kise Ryota like that.

That's right, under the bright lights, Kise's already good-looking face was even more softly illuminated, and the upturned eyes showed a look of surprise, and the pupils reflecting the fireworks were so beautiful that people couldn't move their eyes away.

"Ryota."

"Ok?"

Suddenly fell into a warm embrace, hugging him very tightly.

The tears also burst in an instant, and the heart full of pain and sorrow actually trusted this boy completely for a moment.

The fireworks above the head were still burning brightly, and they exploded with a deafening sound.

There is an illusion that as long as you keep embracing, that painful tomorrow will never come.

Also, just an illusion.

The dawn of tomorrow will still rise from the sea level, burning the earth with scorching heat, and those teenagers who are struggling in this world still have no room for maneuver.

Yes, who can truly redeem whom?

"Dahui, it's time to go to school." The call from the deskmate brought Qingfeng back to reality from his memories, he smiled and walked out of the car.The sun had darkened at some point, and the dark sky told him that it was going to rain soon.Suddenly a cold wind blew, and they, who were only wearing short sleeves, couldn't help shivering, and goose bumps immediately popped up.

The same table looked up at the sky, and then sighed: "It seems that I will wear long sleeves tomorrow, so fast, summer is coming to an end"

"Really?" The temperature has dropped, and it's no longer so hot that people are just sweating. Qingfeng smiled and continued, "So, summer is coming to an end."

It's just that at that time, they were young and ignorant, but they didn't know that this hot summer would eventually come to an end, just like their youth would eventually pass away.

But this summer really passed like this.
