Heizi's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Chapter 157 Don’t make mom sad

swish

In front of the sink, there was the sound of water flowing.

Xiang Yang washed his hands while looking at himself in the mirror.

A loose-fitting dark green T-shirt, the most common neon hairstyle among students, and a pair of eyes reflected in the bathroom lights, making him appear simple yet confident.

"Sure enough, the bathroom mirror looks the most handsome..."

Xiang Yang murmured, holding his chin with his right hand and looking in the mirror. From the perspective of his previous life, except for his hairstyle, every other part of his body satisfied him.

"Hmm... After all, I'm still a student. Let's wait until I get to the flower planter before changing my hairstyle."

At this moment, the bathroom door was pushed open.

Kise stood at the door, looking at the beautiful Xiang Yang in front of the mirror, saying nothing, just standing there.

Without looking back, Xiang Yang raised his hands that were slightly stained with water and straightened his hair a little: "Come in."

【Enter?You guy, do you think of the bathroom as your home or your office...]

Kise complained secretly, but his body was very honest. When he walked into the bathroom, he also closed the door.

"Is there a problem?"

Xiang Yang asked knowingly, but at the same time he was constantly thinking about his next words.

[Today, right here, we must speak out! 】

At this moment, the two of them were connected again, and even the thoughts in their minds were surprisingly consistent.

Kise was the first to speak: "I want to join the florist family. It doesn't matter if I change my nationality or anything else, it won't be a problem!"

Xiang Yang, who was still looking in the mirror in front of the sink, heard this and paused. Then he took a few steps back and reflected his entire body in the mirror.

"why."

Xiang Yang adjusted his clothes, but still stared at himself in the mirror. His words seemed to be questions, but his tone was very calm.

"Hey?"

Kise's expression was slightly startled, why?
"Uh...because..."

"Because I went to the flower garden, so you also want to go and play ball with me?"

Before Kise could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiang Yang. He looked in front of the mirror and swallowed as Xiang Yang looked at him without knowing when.

Unconsciously, the dominant position in the exchange between the two was once again controlled by Xiang Yang.

"Well... we agreed before that we would play together after graduation..."

Kise's tone weakened, but his eyes still maintained that stubbornness, and he did not give up.

Seeing Kise's posture, Xiang Yang slightly pressed his lower lip, and the words he was about to blurt out were swallowed back by him.

To be honest, Xiang Yang was a little touched. He had also imagined what it would be like if Kise really accompanied him to the flower grower's house!
The two of them will shine brightly in the international arena in the future, continue to write the story of the Gemini, and become a good story in the history of basketball.

Unfortunately...can't.

"When I was screened out by the Neon Basketball Association, I had very complicated emotions. My basketball dream was shattered. For a kid of my age, it's not something that can be overcome with a smile."

Xiang Yang took out the handkerchief Masako gave him from his pocket, slowly wiped the remaining water stains on his hand, and walked towards Kise, while continuing: "Just when I was in a tangle, hesitating whether to give up basketball. , the Flower Gardeners Basketball Association, extended an olive branch to me."

"Ryota, do you know, in that situation, someone suddenly said to me, change the place, you can continue to play... How do I feel at this time?"

Xiang Yang walked up to Huang Lai and looked up into his eyes. At this moment, Xiang Yang's eyes were like a lake of tranquility.

Being despised by the Neon Basketball Association, he aspires to become a professional basketball player, and is even chased by Yuuki in search of a breakthrough in strength.

Xiang Yang had too many reasons to force him to join the flower grower, but Kise was different.

From beginning to end, he just wanted to play ball with Xiang Yang.

"Have you told your family about your idea? Do you have any other reasons besides me for wanting to go to a flower gardener?"

"Do you have...that determination, Kise Ryota?"

At the end of the sentence, Xiang Yang spoke every word, and the calmness in his eyes did not change at all.

He had already made up his mind to accept a future without Kise.

……

……

“The tonkotsu ramen here is so delicious!”

"Where are we? There is a ramen restaurant on the east side. The store is always packed all day long! The taste of their restaurant is amazing!"

"Let's go try it together another day."

"Hey? Where is Ryouta-senpai? Have you gone home already?"

At the entrance of the ramen shop, Yuuki turned around and looked around, only to find that the boy who seemed to always live in the spotlight was gone.

Xiangyang hung Masako's satchel on his shoulder and stood loosely on the side of the road, whistling softly.

……

……

"His aunt."

(I am back.)
Kise pushed open the door to his home and shouted subconsciously, then took out the slippers from the cabinet and sat on the bench at the door to change.

Before he could take off his shoes, there was a rush of footsteps on the stairs of his home.

"Have you eaten?"

Huang's mother's hair was a little messy and she was still wearing pajamas, as if she had just laid down and prepared to sleep.

"Ah, I've already eaten. Mom, you can go to sleep and don't worry about me."

Hearing Huang Lai's answer, Huang Ma quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart that had been hanging around was relieved.

"Really, although I asked you to go out and play with your friends, I didn't ask you to come home so late. You didn't tell me in advance that you wouldn't be back for dinner today!"

Huang's mother's familiar nagging voice passed through Huang Lai's ears. He raised his hands in surrender and said helplessly: "Mom, I just forgot, and it's not too late for me to go home today!"

After saying that, he also checked the alarm clock on the table. The hour hand just pointed at 9 o'clock. In the past, when he was chatting with ragged friends of the opposite sex in a hotel in Neon, it was the time when he returned home. It's much later!

However, Huang's mother did not accept this trick. She turned the alarm clock on the table upside down and gave Kise another round of lectures.

Kise:…

"Stop, stop, stop! Mom, I'm going back to my room to rest. You should also rest early!"

After saying that, Kise picked up his backpack and rushed back to the bedroom. Hearing the continuous chatter behind him, Kise sighed secretly.

Really, you have to nag me like this every day. If one day I am gone, who will you talk to so much...

Thinking of this, Kise's movements suddenly stopped, and the hand that had just been placed on the door handle of the room also stopped.

He looked at the figure behind him who was pacing and slowly going up the stairs, and he felt something in his heart for a moment, and his lips moved slightly.

"mom."

"What's wrong?"

Kise:…

"It's okay, Mom, go to bed early."

squeak-

The sound of the door opening.

Kise leaned back against the door, staring at the ceiling thoughtfully.

"Forget it, it's better not to tell my mother about wanting to change nationality. She won't understand anyway."

Kise grabbed his hair, a relieved smile appeared on his face, took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and Kise took a deep breath.

"Beep-beep."

"Moses Moses?"

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Kise bit his lip lightly and did not speak immediately.

On the other side, at Xiangyang’s home
Xiang Yang, who had just taken a shower with a towel around his neck, couldn't help feeling puzzled when he heard that there was no answer on the phone.

"Hello? Hello?"

After trying two more calls, Xiang Yang thought it was someone playing a prank and was about to hang up when he heard a roar coming from the phone.

"Little Xiangyang!!"

【Ryota? 】

Xiang Yang looked stunned and said nothing, waiting for Kise to continue.

"I've figured it out. It's up to you whether you want to go to a flower garden or wherever, but! No matter where you go, I will beat you head-on on the field!"

"As a national player of the Neon National Team!"

"Well...I'll wait."

The sound of the phone hanging up came, and Kise gasped, threw the phone aside, and sat down on the ground.

Hearing Mama Huang's anxious call from outside the door, a trace of helplessness flashed across Huang Lai's face.

[For the sake of momentum...the sound just now was too loud! 】

Wailing in his heart, Kise stood up and opened the bedroom door. Looking at Huang's mother who looked worried outside the door, Kise began to explain.

"No Mom, I'm not stressed! It's not like there's anything wrong with me, I just... I just feel something in my heart and my emotions explode! It's okay, don't worry."

"??? How is it possible? I'm not broken up in love. It's really nothing..."

……

……

Xiangyang's home
Xiang Yang, who was the first to hang up the phone, looked at the phone in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

On the sofa, Masako, who was half lying down and watching TV, glanced at the expression on Xiang Yang's face and asked aloud: "What's the good thing?"

"It's not a good thing, it's just that the children at home have grown up."

Xiang Yang touched his nose, feeling the faint joy in his heart, and hummed a few songs.

"By the way, Miss Masako, are you sure you want to sleep at my house tonight?"

"Why, you eat so much of me, I can't stop?"

"Of course you can, it's just that men and women don't have sex, so..."

Masako raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to sleep on the sofa?"

"Of course not...how about you sleep on the sofa?"

Masako:…

bass!
The sound of the blade being unsheathed!

"Miss Masako Smith, please forgive me."

……

……

"Hi everyone, welcome to watch the program exclusively titled by the Akashi Group - A Date with Basketball. I am today's host, Sasha."

"Hello everyone, I'm Nini."

"Since the start of the national competition, all the qualifying stages have been completed. Three teams have been promoted from the four divisions. A total of 12 basketball teams will start the first round next week!"

"Among these 12 teams, in addition to Hai Chang High School, which won consecutive championships last year, there are also many teams that are familiar to basketball fans!"

"For example, broke out from the Eastern Division, did not lose a game in the qualifiers, and was led by the captain of "Generation of Miracles", Seijuro Akashi, at Luoshan High School!"

"The team that qualified from the Southern Division without losing a single game and won the top four in the country last year is Yangquan High School!"

"There is also the group of death, nicknamed the Wild Division by fans. In the Northern Division, there are also three teams with good strength that have successfully advanced to the official competition and participated in the battle for the championship seat of this summer split!"

"In addition to this, there are other teams with good strength and outstanding performance, namely..."

Inside the shark gym
Xiang Yang had just finished a set of bench press training. When he got up to take a drink of water, he saw Masako sitting on the sofa holding a pillow and staring at the TV intently.

"Miss Masako, you seem to be obsessed with this show recently."

Xiang Yang picked up the water glass and took a sip. Looking at the two hosts chatting on the TV, he felt a little familiar for some reason.

[It seems...I have seen these two people around Kise? 】

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yang shook his head and didn't think about it.

There have been so many female characters around Kise, but he is not that boring yet, so I will remember them one by one.

At this time, Xiangyang discovered that Masako was still watching the TV program attentively, and her fingers were still pinching the pillow with a slight force, as if she was deeply trapped in it.

Xiang Yang was speechless. He raised his right hand and waved it in front of Masako's eyes. As expected, he received a threatening look from the latter.

Seeing Masako looking like he was about to take out his sword in the next second, Xiangyang smiled bitterly, took a step to the side, and asked: "Why do you look so serious? Why didn't I realize that you like it so much before? Watching TV?”

Masako rolled his eyes, turned his attention back to the TV, and said: "Today's basketball has an appointment to announce next week's national competition schedule. As the head coach of Yangquan, of course I have to pay attention as soon as possible!"

In fact, even if this program will notify the schedule in advance, the time difference between it and the organizer's official release of information will not be more than one day, so there is no need to stare at this boring program.

Xiang Yang thought so, but after seeing that Masako seemed to be immersed in the TV show again, he wisely stopped talking and returned to the strength area to continue his bench press training.

"Okay, I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time, so now, we will announce the lineup for the first round of the official match next week!"

In the picture, Shasha is holding the card arranged by the director team in advance with one hand, making a playful expression on her face, and the ending of her words is specially lengthened, which perfectly arouses the curiosity of the audience.

"First of all, the first game ~ OMG! I didn't expect it to be these two teams!"

Sasha's eyes widened and she looked at the card in her hand in disbelief, as if she was really frightened.

Her contrived and appetizing movements, although not brilliant, still managed to touch the hearts of the audience.

At least for Masako Araki, the ten fingers of both hands were deeply embedded into the pillow in her arms.

"The first match! It will be played against Kaichang High School~"

【Um?us? 】

On a bench in the strength area, Xiang Yang, who was sitting and resting, heard the name of his team. Out of curiosity, he got up and walked behind Masako. He held the sofa with his hands and watched a TV show.

On the screen, the host seemed to have been pushed to 0.5 times speed. What could have been said in one sentence was delayed for more than ten seconds, and an advertisement was even inserted on the TV in the middle.

"What the hell is this??? Does she have a cerebellum problem? She can't finish a sentence. Who is this show trying to scare to death??"

Hearing the slogan of a certain condom coming from the TV, Xiangyang couldn't hold back at all. Even the modern version of the program, which had become more commercialized in the previous life, would not dare to play to this extent!

Not to mention that Sasha, the way to seduce people's appetite is still very low-level, break it down into one sentence and slow down your speech?
There are so many flaws that Xiang Yang doesn’t even know where to start.

However...people in this world really do this!
"If you don't want to see it, just shut your mouth."

In front of Xiangyang, Masako didn't turn her head, her tone was very flat.

Although he couldn't see Masako's expression, Xiangyang dared to bet Kise's girlfriend that if he said one more word, he would basically say hello to Masako's sword.

There was no way, due to Masako's coercion, Xiang Yang had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, and patiently watched this issue of "A Date with Basketball".

Finally, after her speech slowed down again, Shasha finally named Hai Chang's opponent in the first round.

"The first game, Kaijo High School vs. Nara High School!"

【Nara?What team is that? 】

Xiang Yang was a little confused. At this time, Masako looked through the database in his mind and clarified his doubts: "A team with good strength in the Eastern Division basically gets a place in the top ten every year. It was unlucky last year. Well, I hit Xiude in the first round and was eliminated.”

Oh~ Got it, miscellaneous fish?
"You've been working on it for a long time...that's it?"

Xiangyang's eyelids drooped, and he was about to get up to have dinner, but suddenly found that because Masako had been addicted to TV programs, dinner hadn't been cooked yet.

"Miss Masako, I'm hungry."

Xiang Yang tugged on Masako's sleeve and reminded her that today's feeding task has not been completed yet.

However, the latter just glanced at him lightly: "Bear it."

Xiang Yang:…

O woman!

He secretly cursed in his heart, but Xiang Yang acted very honestly and sat down next to Masako, preparing to watch the show with her before talking.

"The second match, Shirorin High School vs.~"

As expected, the host who had killed a thousand cuts once again prolonged his sentences and slowed down his speech. Such a poor way of whetting the appetite made Xiang Yang's eyelids jump wildly again.

"The second game, Jorin High School vs. Igawa High School!"

call--

Seeing that a complete sentence finally came out of Shasha's mouth, Xiangyang took a deep breath to calm down his anxious mood.

"The third game, Kiroh High School vs. Fukuda Comprehensive!"

Um?Futian Comprehensive?Shogo Haizaki?
Xiangyang Element noticed, and in his mind, a figure that was flattened by him riding under him appeared again.

[Qingfeng... That's fine, if that guy Hui Qi dares to play any tricks, he will die miserably. 】

ps: Qingfeng is very good at fighting.

"The fourth game, Xiude High School vs. Deadwood High School!"

[Does Xiude also do miscellaneous fish?It's a pity that the chance to collect information on the green room is one less. 】

"The fifth game, XX High School vs. XX High School."

【Hello?Both teams are just bad guys, so why not hide the suspense?Isn't your host too amateurish? 】

Xiang Yang, who was complaining while watching, was a little numb at the moment. The most damning thing was that he was actually sitting here until the end of this kind of pornographic program!

"...It's finally coming to an end. There's still one last show that I haven't signed up for yet. Oh, by the way...Yangquan High School never showed up, and Akashi and the others..."

Xiang Yang spoke for a moment, as if he thought of something. Beside him, Masako let go of the pillow in his hand. It was the last game, and the result was already clear. The team that had not yet appeared was the opponent.

"Game [-]! Yangquan High School vs. Luoshan High School!"
