Glimpse

Chapter 15

15,

It just so happened that the music on the power amplifier changed from a cheerful children's song to a soothing slow song. Holding hands with Kise, Heizi naturally danced a ballroom dance with Kise at a moderate speed.

Although the basic dance steps of ballroom dancing are not difficult, it is not easy to dance well. Fortunately, he has learned this dance since he was a child, and he has already mastered the dance steps by heart.Recalling the childhood when I had no worries about food and clothing but had no chance of happiness, my eyelids drooped heavily as if a stone had been pressed on them.

"Little Heizi, don't think about others, look at me, look at me."

Hearing what Kise said, Heizi shook his head, raised his eyes and replied, "I didn't think about others..."

He was thinking about his own affairs, thinking about the self who had bitten through the cage and escaped from it when he grew up, and now he has returned to this country, this city, and in the end, has he really grown?

"what!"

Suddenly felt a force in the waist, and the body was pulled closer, and the head hit the broad chest in front of him at once——Heizi's whole body stuck to Kise's body.

"Kase-kun?"

Looking up, Huang Lai was smiling, those crescent-shaped golden pupils seemed to have alluvial gold flowing inside, shining brightly.

"In order not to distract you, I will hold you firmly!"

Kise said with a smile, and subconsciously tightened the hand holding Heizi, as if Heizi might run away at any time if he didn't do so.

"Sorry……"

When he was absent-minded while dancing with others, no matter how he thought it was disrespect to the other party, heizi immediately apologized for doing such a disrespectful thing.

"It's okay, Xiao Heizi doesn't have to apologize to me all the time, it's too out of place."

"Um……"

The word "see outside" inadvertently hit Heizi's heart.I remember that Vulcan also said the same thing to him at the beginning. Perhaps, after leaving Aomine, he began to keep a distance from others intentionally or unintentionally!

Because I don't want to get hurt again, and I don't want to let others get hurt again.

The bonfire was burning brightly, and the melodious music slowly echoed under the night with fireworks blooming. Heizi just danced like this, clinging to Kise's body.There was a nice faint scent on Kise, as if the fragrance of the petals had been diluted with water. Heizi didn't know if it was because Kise used men's perfume or it was just body fragrance.He couldn't help but think of Qingfeng, when he was hugged by Qingfeng before, he could always smell the smell of sweat and sunshine.

Suddenly, Lan Tong was stunned for a moment, and Heizi realized that he had promised Huang Lai to tell him the reason why Aomine stopped playing basketball, but he forgot about it.

"Kase-kun..."

"What's the matter? Little Heizi."

With fingers happily wrapped around Heizi's waist, Kise, who was circling around, had a contented expression on his face.It certainly wasn't the first time he danced with someone else, but it was the first time he danced so happily.Although he has not known Heizi for a long time, in just a few days, he has been begged and criticized by this person, and he has also been encouraged by this person to ignite his fighting spirit. Today, in order to protect this person All in all, in his opinion, because of the appearance of sunspots, the original monotonous and boring life seems to be recolored on the drawing board and turned into a colorful rainbow.

"Kise-kun...why do you want to know that Aomine-kun no longer plays basketball?"

"Huh? Ah..."

In my impression, Heizi seemed extremely reluctant to talk about Aomine, but Kise was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to bring it up now.

"I'm going to take part in a movie soon, that movie is about a basketball player, and the story is written by Xiaoluma! Then... the leading actor is Xiao Qingfeng."

"I see……"

Although Kise smiled carelessly, Heizi could read the regret hidden under the mask of the smile.

The male protagonist is not himself, but his biggest competitor. It must be uncomfortable to feel like this.

"Kise-kun, don't you feel very reconciled?"

"Of course!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kise's answer was so decisive.

"But... there is nothing you can do if you don't want to be reconciled, it's the production company's decision. Anyway, I'm very lucky to be able to participate, and I'm still working with Xiao Qingfeng... That's why I'm a little curious that Xiao Qingfeng doesn't play basketball anymore reason."

"That's it..."

Lowering his head, Heizi was silent for a moment, and struggled with his lips pursed into a line before answering: "Mr. Qingfeng... It's not that he doesn't play basketball anymore, but he can't play basketball anymore..."

"Eh?"

Raising his gaze, Kise's slightly surprised face was reflected in his eyes, he took a deep breath, and continued, "Mr. Aomine was forced to retire because of... an accident."

"ACCIDENT?"

"Well, it was a traffic accident. In that accident, Aomine-kun was seriously injured, and then..."

While talking, Heizi lowered his head again.The melody that floated into his ears seemed to be infected and turned sad, Kise could feel that Kuroko was adjusting his breathing, and those eyes that dared not lift up seemed to be enduring something.

"But... an accident should be news, right?"

A famous player of the national basketball team suffered a traffic accident, no matter how you think about it, he should be the target of the media's rush to report. Huang Lai, who is in the entertainment industry, is deeply impressed by the media's ability to catch wind and shadow.

"No news..."

A voice weaker than a mosquito's chirping replied.Although Huang Lai muttered, it was only in his heart. Seeing Hei Zi's hesitation, he knew that even if he continued to ask, it would definitely end without a problem.

"Anyway, Kise-kun is going to work hard."

After a while, the recovered Heizi raised his head and said this was the first sentence.

"come on……"

"Otherwise you will lose!"

"what?"

Bright eyes shot straight into his golden pupils, and Kise suddenly realized that the sunspot who showed such a firm expression was full of unshakable trust in Aomine.

"Kise-kun...Even if Aomine-kun can no longer play basketball, he still likes basketball more than anyone else...I think the producer will find Aomine-kun to play the male lead because of this reason."

"yes……"

The dance slowed down a little bit, and Kise and Heizi were still hugging each other, but in fact, from an outsider's point of view, they didn't look like they were dancing at all, they just looked like a couple of you and me.

Sighing lightly, Huang Lai pouted with a wry smile and said, "The Chixing Group has always been very good at picking actors."

"Varied--"

The sucked cold air suddenly blocked his chest, and Heizi felt a burst of suffocation, opening his mouth wide like a fish deprived of oxygen, his round eyes trembling in their sockets.

"What did you say……"

"Ok?"

Kise looked at Heizi puzzled, and replied: "I mean, the producer of that film is Chixing Group, and the main actors are all selected by Chixing's president himself. All films invested and produced by Chixing are very popular at the box office. ensure."

"Red Star Group... Red..."

Wanting to chew up this name, Heizi gritted his teeth.At this moment, the gaze inadvertently jumped over Kise's shoulder and looked into the distance.

In the distance, in the dark grove, a figure burst into view suddenly.

Heizi had the illusion of being punched hard in the eyes, and couldn't help letting go of Kise's hand.

"Sorry, Kise-kun."

Lightly wrote an apology, Heizi didn't say any unnecessary explanations, turned around and ran towards the direction of the grove without looking back.

The bonfire is burning brightly, making crackling sounds from time to time, and the soothing melody is still playing on the loudspeaker. Vulcan and the kindergarten children are all intoxicated in the lively summer night festival, and no one notices that they are hiding in the classroom. The uninvited guest in the woods, and no one noticed the sunspot who was dragged away by the uninvited guest——

Except for Kise, because he was left behind by Heizi.

"Ah~ ah... what's going on?"

Rubbing his forehead, Kise felt like Romeo who was dumped by Juliet at the ball.

"Obviously it shouldn't be like this!"

Looking at the children who were dancing in pairs beside him, he felt like weeping alone, but when he sent his gaze into the grove, his stupid face suddenly became serious.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

The forest at night was scary, and Heizi was panting heavily while stumbling and running on the rough road.

That figure, that figure is...

At first, the uninvited guest, who seemed to be deliberately waiting for Heizi to find out, turned around and walked away after he was actually found out, taking his time and taking his time.As for Heizi, he had no choice but to chase after him. Although the distance between the two was not very far, he still chased for a long time.

The sneakers kicking on the gravel stopped after taking a few steps forward in inertia.Heizi was sweating profusely with his sweaty palms resting on his knees.For a moment, he raised his hand to push aside the wet bangs that blocked his eyes, raised his chin, and saw not far ahead, the figure he was desperately chasing was standing leisurely on a big rock, taking a bath comfortably With silvery moonlight.

This back is exactly the same as before.

Even though it was night, and in the lush woods, the light was so dim that people couldn't distinguish the colors, but Heizi could clearly see it—the man in front of him had red hair and was wearing a white suit.

Just when he was about to speak, the sculptural and quiet figure suddenly turned around, and Heizi couldn't help but staggered a small step backward.

"Long time no see, Tetsuya."

A masculine but extraordinarily ethereal voice came from a male but not tall enough figure.

This voice was like a needle piercing Heizi's temple.

In the woods, it was surprisingly quiet, as if all creatures had fallen asleep. It was hard to imagine that the Starlight Kindergarten was holding a lively summer night festival nearby.

Standing upright, Heizi opened a pair of big eyes that were pretending to be calm and stared straight ahead. He raised his chest and took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

"Long time no see, Akashi-kun."
