Glimpse

19,

"Huh? No fever..."

Sitting back to his original position, Heizi tilted his head and looked at Kise in confusion.

The opportunity to hug Heizi was just missed, Kise admired his self-control and couldn't help but call himself an idiot.Caught in the vortex of contradictions and unable to extricate himself, he had no choice but to pick up the coffee cup and stick it to his face to cool down.

Trying to analyze the reason for Kise's blushing, but Kuroko found that even if he tried to break his head, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to take a sip of the milkshake silently, and continued: "After Akashi-kun found out about my relationship with Aomine-kun, he took the basketball team out of the game without authorization. Disbanded, but Aomine-kun and I didn't give up on basketball... I didn't play basketball because I was not in good physical condition and got injured during the game, but Aomine-kun has always been very strong, no, It's getting stronger and stronger..."

While Heizi was telling the past, Kise quietly stared at Heizi with one hand on his chin.Whenever Heizi mentions Qingfeng, there will always be an inadvertent look of appreciation on his face, mixed with a trace of heavy guilt.

Little Heizi... Could it be that he still likes Xiao Qingfeng?

Kuroko, whose attention was overwhelmed by memories, did not notice Kise's fiery gaze.

"Soon, Aomine-kun's talent was discovered. At the age of 19, he entered the national team of his dreams, but..."

While the dream came true, it was also fiercely targeted by bad luck.

The memory quickly regressed, and Heizi's blue pupils seemed to be showing a movie with the theme of "the past"... and the ending of this movie was already doomed, badending.

"When Aomine-kun was 21 years old, he had already become the ace player of the national team, but that day...the night before the final...Aomine-kun had a car accident!"

Frowning tightly, Kise's expression was unprecedentedly serious.The original romantic atmosphere in the store was wiped out by the word "car accident".

"It's... Akashi-chan did it, right?"

In exchange for the question, Heizi nodded silently, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

It's too unrealistic to say the least!A car accident can kill a person if one is not careful!

Thinking of the possibility that his greatest rival died in a deliberate car accident three years ago, Kise shuddered unconsciously.

"After the car accident, although Qingfeng-jun was sent to the hospital in time, he was still in a coma for nearly half a year..."

"Half……"

Kise was speechless for a moment.

Half a year—it may be very short for a healthy person who is alive and well, but it is long enough to be fatal for a patient lying in a hospital bed.

A strong disgust suddenly rose in my heart, and there was no doubt that the object of the disgust was Akashi Seijuro.

Kise can understand a man's desire for monopoly, but he can't agree with a man who kills for the sake of monopoly——

It is true that love is selfish, but only selfish love is left, and there is no happiness at all.

"At that time, the doctor said...it is a miracle that Qingfeng-kun will wake up..."

The sound was like plucked strings, buzzing and trembling.Heizi's hands holding the glass were constantly increasing strength, his tensed knuckles were the same as his face, as white as washed and faded paper.

Like a hallucination, a hospital bed suddenly appeared in front of him, and Qingfeng, who was covered in plaster, was lying on it with his eyes closed. It's just a corpse.

"I... can't do anything..."

If the clasped hands are strong enough, the glass will be smashed into pieces.Kuroko sighed and closed his eyes, at the same time, Akashi Seijurou's face came into view as expected——

"Why are you yelling at me? Tetsuya..."

"How could you do this to Aomine-kun!!"

"Why can't I? Huh, I won everything, everything is correct."

"you……"

"Also, isn't it possible for Dahui to wake up? But...even if he wakes up, he probably won't be able to play basketball anymore!"

"It's your fault, it's all your fault!"

"Oh? Is it really my fault? Think about it, Tetsuya...Dahui, who is it because of who became what he is now?"

That day, after visiting Aomine in the hospital as usual, Kuroko couldn't bear it anymore and came to the office building of Akahoshi Group to meet Akashi.Originally he mustered up the courage to question Akashi Xingshi, but his determination was shaken by Akashi's words.

"It's my fault... It's me who made Aomine-kun almost die, and Aomine-kun who can't play basketball anymore..."

Strong self-loathing crawled all over his body. Even after three years, Aomine's wound and Akashi's sarcasm are still vivid in his mind. Even the brain is destroyed.

Snapped!

Suddenly, the mind that was bound by the past was awakened suddenly, and the tightly closed eyes popped open——

Huang Lai's face was close in front of her eyes.

"Kose... Jun..."

His own cheek was being clamped by Huang Lai's hands, and the hand that was attached to it was warm, and the palm was still a little moist.The eyes met, and Heizi felt that Huang Lai was looking at him, as if he was looking at a small animal that was injured and drenched in the rain.Just staring blankly at Kise, he was stunned for a long time.

"It's not Xiao Heizi's fault!"

After a while, Huang Lai opened his mouth, and the pair of golden-brown eyes reflected straight in the blue pupils were as bright as processed gemstones, and Hei Zi couldn't help staring blankly.

"I……"

"It's not Xiao Heizi's fault...Although it's not Xiao Heizi's fault, but Xiao Heizi really went too far!"

"Eh?"

No matter how it sounds, it doesn't sound like comfort to him, Heizi blinked in a daze.

Letting go of his hand, Kise grinned and gave him a bright smile that seemed to be plated with a layer of gold.

"Xiao Heizi...you broke up with Xiao Qingfeng because you didn't want to hurt Xiao Qingfeng?"

"..."

"But... In my opinion, that's only part of the reason. The biggest problem... should be guilt, right?"

There was a sharp pain in the eardrums. At this moment, Heizi wanted to cover his ears, not wanting to listen to Huang Lai again. Even though Huang Lai's voice sounded so careless, it was still like a shackle, holding him tightly.

However, at the same time, there was a voice in his heart saying to him: What Kise said was true.

He didn't want to hear it because it was the truth.

Shrugging his shoulders, Kise took a sip of coffee in a calm manner, during which he raised his eyes to take a peek at Heizi with a pale face opposite him.

"I didn't intend to bully Xiao Heizi! However, Xiao Heizi did run away because he was afraid of facing Xiao Qingfeng and couldn't bear the guilt, didn't he? From this point of view, the abandoned Xiao Qingfeng is a bit miserable , That's why I said that Xiao Heizi is too much!"

Afraid...can't stand...run away...abandoned...

Every word Huang Lai used was like a steel cone mercilessly piercing his brain, Heizi subconsciously put his hands on his head.

He is actually a coward...

He said he didn't want to hurt others in a high-sounding manner. To put it bluntly, he just didn't dare to face the evil consequences he caused.

For Qingfeng, even after three years, the guilt has only increased.Because he is more aware of his own weakness than anyone else, so he is more unable to face Aomine than anyone else——

This is a wound, a wound that will recur after seeing Qingfeng, a wound in my heart.

"Why...Kise-kun will know..."

The long eyelashes blinked a few times before slowly raising the eyelids. Heizi couldn't help but be amazed that this man who didn't seem to have a bright mind was able to point out his hypocrisy sharply.

"Hmm...why? Probably because I care about little Heizi?"

"Eh?"

Heizi was taken aback by the answer given by Kise, who put his chin on one hand and smiled casually.

"Well... first, I don't hate little Heizi's kindness, but I like to avoid it! Rather, I like this little Heizi."

Leaving aside whether the somewhat ambiguous statement counts as a compliment to Heizi, this is the first time he has heard such a candid "confession".His cheeks turned red involuntarily, looking like the red cherry that was about to sink to the bottom of the cup.

"If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay with Xiao Qingfeng without a care, after all, human beings are not so nervous... But no matter what, this matter is not Xiao Heizi's fault If you want to blame, you should also blame Akashi!"

From the pair of resolute golden pupils, Heizi saw Huang Lai's intention to fight for him, and couldn't help but feel better.

"Akashi-kun is not wrong, he himself said, 'I won everything, everything is right'."

"Uh……"

A drop of cold sweat slid down his cheeks, Huang Lai touched his chest and flattened his mouth.

"Well, Akashi is really scary. When I confronted him just now, I thought I was going to die..."

"Who told you to do such a bold thing!"

Looking at Kise who was lying on the table like a mollusk and acted like a baby, Heizi frowned.

"Since Kise-kun already knows, please, don't get involved with me, especially in front of Akashi-kun."

"That won't do!"

Instantly rejecting Heizi's request, Kise sat up abruptly, and said with a smile on his face, "Have you forgotten? I will accompany you to buy a mobile phone tomorrow!"

"what……"

After being reminded by Kise, Heizi remembered the mobile phone that was crushed by the tires before, and at the same time remembered that he had indeed promised Kise to buy the mobile phone together.

It is the most basic principle of being a human being not to go back on the agreement with others, but Kuroko worried that Kise might be plotted against by Akashi if this continues, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.

"Huh? So it's not a ghost coffee shop. I'm looking forward to it so much... There are still people here!"

At this moment, a loud, somewhat familiar baritone voice suddenly sounded, and Heizi raised his head following the sound.

"Shut up, Takao, you're annoying!"

"Hey, why do you two have to follow me!"

"Ah Da is really, I haven't seen Xiaolu for a long time, don't have such an attitude!"

In the initially quiet shop, which seemed to be closed, suddenly came the noisy voices of several people, both male and female.

bang-

The leg of the wooden chair hit the ground hard, and Heizi suddenly stood up.

The man who appeared in front had short sea blue hair that was familiar to him, dark skin that was familiar to him, and the smell of sunshine that was familiar to him.

"Qingfeng... Jun..."

"Zhe?!"

Seeing Heizi at the same moment, Qingfeng immediately pushed away Takao, who was in the way, and rushed over.
