Chapter 429 Sakakibara-San Chooses to Live a New Life

"Ling, what do you mean when you say chic?"

After school was over that afternoon, after watching Sakakibara Raku being the first to leave the classroom, Amami Kuruuri immediately caught Sakakibara Raku who was trying to escape and wanted to find out what happened.

"See you tomorrow Suzu-chan~"

"Yeah, see you tomorrow~~"

After saying goodbye to several female classmates in the class, Sakakihara Suzu turned around at the door of the classroom. The red bow tied with the white shirt on Tianhai Jiuliuli's upper body is particularly eye-catching.

"Huh?" Looking down, Sakakihara Suzu stared at the completely invisible size and frowned.

Sure enough, Xia Tian is the most annoying.

"What's wrong?" Tianhai Jiuliuli felt weird and looked at his body, "What's weird about me?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I almost recognized Sister Liuli as Sister Qiyue."

"Will we still admit our mistakes after we have been together for so long?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked confused. She hesitated for a while, then suddenly remembered what she had just said and quickly changed the topic:

"Oh, it's useless not to say this. What do you mean by 'chic' in the middle of the day? I saw that you were still hesitating in the middle of the day, as if you couldn't say anything. I was curious all afternoon. .”

Sakakihara Suzu waved her hands carelessly, her short green hair fluttering slightly on her shoulders:

"Hey, sister Liuli, we'll find out later after we finish practice and go find him."

Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't wait. She always felt that this so-called 'freedom' was not a good thing.

She took a step forward: "Why do you have to wait until practice is over? You can tell Yuki first to postpone the time for half an hour."

Sakakihara Suzu was forced to step back, put her hands on her chest, resisting, and said with a reluctant smile:

"Sister Liuli, don't be anxious. The reason why you don't go now is because the time is wrong. You won't be able to see anything if you go. We have to wait until the club activities are over before we go."

"Wrong time? Do you want to go see it after the club activities are over?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't figure it out, and felt more and more uneasy in her heart.

Sakakihara Suzu noticed her expression, and felt that Sister Liuli still cared about her brother.

Although she is still angry with her brother.

Sakakihara Suzu made arrows with the index fingers of both hands, pointed to the corridor on the right in front of her chest, raised her head and said:

"Sister Liuli, let's go practice football first. Brother, there's no rush. Besides, Yuki is working hard every day now. She just went to the toilet, and now she'll probably go directly to the playground. It's not good to let her go."

"Okay." Tianhai Jiuliuli could only calm down his anxious mood and nodded, "If this matter is not resolved in July, it will be difficult for us to hold the basketball game. There are only three of us."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. The official start of the sports festival is after the end of the semester. There are still two weeks."

*

During today's practice, Tianhai Jiululi was a little absent-minded.

Mainly because I'm very concerned about Qi Mingyue's condition

Although everyone is still in the same class, July's current seat has been moved directly to the far right side of the classroom, which is farthest from Sakakibara Raku who is by the window.

A few days ago, Lejun would say hello and say hello to Qiyue when he saw her.

But now?

When the two met in school, they were like strangers, neither of them would look at the other.

"We are strangers" is the most appropriate way to describe the current relationship between the two.

"Snow!"

Tianhai Jiuliuli ran across the line with sweat and threw the ball to Tianhai Zhixue at the other end.

After a week of training, she had achieved some success.

After catching the basketball thrown by herself, she stood attentively outside the three-point line, looking straight to the basket.

She bent her knees hard, then jumped up straight into the air and threw the ball.

As expected, it didn't go in, and the basketball barely touched the edge of the basket.

"such a pity"

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was covered in sweat, stopped.

The trajectory of Yuki's shot was good, but the force was a little weak and the angle was a little crooked.

Although based on the level of competition, her strength is far from enough.

It's quite good that Zhixue can reach this level after only playing basketball for a week.

"Yuki still wants to practice?"

Sakakibara Suzu came over drinking the ice water she just bought. As soon as she got closer, she saw Amami Yuki in a white sportswear picking up the ball again with a serious look on her face.

"Sister Liuli."

"No, I don't have to. Yuki can practice by himself first."

Tianhai Jiuliuli put his hands on his hips and shook his head at Tianhai Zhixue, with pink sweat on his delicate neck.

She panted slightly, stared at Amami Noyuki who was still practicing laziness, and replied to Sakakibara Suzu who had just arrived beside her:

"Zhixue has been in this state recently. It feels like she practices more seriously than any of us."

"Sister Liuli knows why don't you?"

"Unclear Zhixue just said she wanted to win a championship."

"Well, I feel like the championship means nothing to Yuki."

Sakakihara Suzu thought for a while and couldn't figure it out. Then she looked at the side face of Amami Kuriuri whose hair was wet with sweat, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Sister Liuli, are you still practicing? It's half an hour since the club activities ended."

When she reminded her, Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded immediately.

She said hello to Amami no Yuki, and then followed Sakakibara Suzu out of the playground.

The two of them first went to the sink to wash their faces, and then went to the locker room to change back into regular school uniforms. After completing these actions, they followed Sakakihara Suzu and sneaked to the gymnasium.

"Why are you here?" asked Amami Kuriuri, who was following Sakakihara Suzu. The two of them had just arrived at the back corridor of the gymnasium.

"Look at this cool old man."

"Come to the gym to watch?"

"otherwise?"

Sakakibara Suzu's expression suddenly turned strange as she looked at Tianhai Jiu Liuli, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Hmm~ Sister Liuli, you don't think my brother is going to that kind of custom shop behind our backs, right? I think he is because you have been away for too long, Nai I can’t help but feel lonely, so I went to a place like that to be free and unrestrained.”

"No way," Tianhai Jiuliuli was not shaken at all, "No matter what, Lejun would not do such an excessive thing. Although the previous thing was very excessive."

"Then what did Sister Liuli guess before? Forget it, there's no point in guessing. Anyway, Sister Liuli, you can see it soon."

"What did you see?" Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't help but be curious.

"Anyway, sister Liuli, you will definitely be angry."

Out of curiosity, he followed Sakakihara Suzu and sneaked into the gym through the back door.

The two of them first came to the back of the auditorium, which was similar to a basketball stadium at a game. The audience's position gradually increased from front to back.

The two of them stood at the highest point, looking at the large sports field in the middle.

Sakakihara Suzu pointed in the direction, "Well, my brother is playing basketball there."

Amami Kururi looked over and saw Raku Sakakibara, wearing the No. 8 jersey, competing with a bunch of boys from other classes.

Tianhai Jiuliuli also knows these basketball players, including people from the basketball club and several third-year seniors.

It looked like Rakujun was competing against Fujino Yoshiyuki, several third-year ministers, and people from the basketball club.

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at it for a while and became even more strange:

"This is just an ordinary basketball game. Lejun also played very well. What's the point?"

"Hey, sister Liuli, just keep looking down."

".Fine."

Boys' basketball games do seem to have more power. The boys who play basketball are all tall and strong.

Amami Kuruuri observed Sakakibara Raku as a forward on the field, and saw with his own eyes that he received the ball from his teammates, passed three people with lightning speed, rushed outside the three-point line, stopped and turned around, immediately bent his knees, and moved as smoothly as a cloud. Jump up and shoot instantly.

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

All eyes on and off the court were focused on that basketball, watching it fall into the basket.

"Amazing."

Tianhai Jiuliuli sighed subconsciously, but then realized something was wrong.

Because she was not the only one cheering, but also the audience sitting and watching outside the basketball game.

And the audience - mostly girls.

Coincidentally, after Sakakihara Raku's shot, it was halftime.

Amami Kuruuri saw with his own eyes that some of the girls ran over to bring water to Sakakibara Raku, and smiled and said something to him, and Sakakibara Raku also responded with a smile.

Sakakibara also accepted the water they brought and drank it without ceremony.

This, what is this?

Amami Kuruuri immediately frowned, looked at Sakakihara Suzu who had her hands in her pockets beside her, and asked:

"Those people are Lejun's fans?"

"The ingredients are very complicated," Sakakihara Suzu spread her hands. "I am both a fan of my brother as the bassist of the band, and also a fan of my brother as a basketball player. But in short, she is my little fangirl."

"Ling, you knew about it a few days ago, why didn't you stop him?" Tianhai Jiuliuli's tone was obviously much more anxious.

"I stopped him, but it was of no use. My brother told me that a girl was so enthusiastic about bringing him water and gifts, and he was too embarrassed to refuse."

"."

Tianhai Jiuliuli was stunned.

Looking at Raku Sakakibara who was surrounded by several girls outside the basketball court and chatting and laughing with them, Amami Kuruuri was even more stunned.

what is this.?

Sakakihara Suzu said very helplessly:

"My brother hasn't been cooking much in the past few days. If he just drives his sports car around every day, I don't know what he is going to do."

"No, I want to go down."

"Then sister Liuli, don't say I brought you here later!"

When Sakakibara Suzu shouted these words, Amami Kuruuri had already walked to the middle of the auditorium, all the way to the basketball court.

"I'm really angry."

Suzu Sakakihara bent down, resting her elbows on the backrest of the audience seat, looking at Raku Sakakibara, who was surrounded by birds in the basketball court.

She didn't know why, but now she couldn't get angry at this scene.

*

"Sakakibara-kun's shot just now was so cool."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, there are three people in a row!"

"Haha, I hate it, Miyashita, you're doing something stupid again."

Sakakibara smiled and responded to the quarrels of the little girls in front of him, but inexplicably felt the resentful looks from the other boys behind him.

In fact, there is nothing to complain about, just chatting with a few female classmates.

Until, through the sight behind several people, Sakakihara Raku saw Amami Kuruuri approaching menacingly.

Tianhai Jiuliuli is naturally full of aura.

Everyone in the school knew her identity as Sakakibara Raku's real girlfriend, so when the girls noticed that Amami Kuruuri was approaching, they quickly apologized to Sakakibara Raku and backed away quickly.

Facing Amami Kuruuri who came in front of him, Sakakibara took the water given by other girls and said hello in a normal way:

"Good afternoon, classmate Tianhai Jiuliuli."

".Come with me first."

Amami Kuruuri looked a little dissatisfied. Without saying a word, he pulled Sakakihara Raku towards a deserted place and took him outside the gym.

"...On purpose?" Tianhai Jiuliuli asked first, frowning, as if she had breath in her mouth.

"What's intentional?" Sakakihara asked, not knowing why.

Tianhai Jiuliuli pointed at the drink in his hand.

"Ah, this, someone gave it to me."

"Why do you want to collect it?"

"ah?"

"I mean, Lejun, why do you want to accept it?"

"I accept gifts when others give them to me. Is it normal?"

When Sakakibara saw the angry look on Amami Kuriuri's face, it was not that he didn't know what she was thinking, and he immediately said, "Don't worry, Ruri, I didn't do anything weird. I just accepted a bottle from them. Drinks, just chat with them for a while, after all, they are fans and classmates at the same school."

"Don't Lejun know that accepting gifts from other girls means that you have a good impression of them?"

"Is this happening?"

"Of course! There is no reason in this world to accept gifts from others casually. Gifts from others are a sign of their admiration for you. There is no way Lejun doesn't know this."

Sakakihara waved his hands indifferently, "It's all trivial, Ruri, aren't they also fans of our band. Isn't it normal to give gifts to idols?"

"Idols can't accept it either! Did Ling accept the gifts privately given by her fans?"

Amami Kyururi feels like Sakakibara is weird

Is it because I haven’t talked to him for a long time?

"Or, Lejun, did you do that on purpose to make Qiyue angry?"

"Angry with her?"

Sakakibara spread his hands and said, "No, Ruri, I'm just responding to them normally. You see I'm scoring, they think it's cool, and they cheer me up, I'll say a few words in reply, it's not too much."

"It's not too much. But I always feel that you are deliberately irritating people when you are talking and laughing with them."

"Why do you think so? Isn't this just a normal communication?"

"There have been similar situations before, but didn't Lejun refuse them all in the past?"

"Ah, it's different from the past. Now I've figured it out."

".Figured it out.?"

Sakakihara put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall of the gymnasium, and looked at the sunset in the horizon:

"Liu Li, I feel that I have been too tired recently, and I have chosen to refuse many things. Why should I refuse? To be honest, I quite enjoy playing basketball. Ah, I don't just refer to the sport of basketball, but to me The feeling of being able to do whatever you want.

“There’s no feeling of restraint or pressure.”

Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't fully understand, "What do you mean?"

Sakakihara took out his palm, clapped his fingers, and said:

"You see, when I usually go home, I have to cook, wash dishes, tidy up the housework, help with homework, and prepare lunch for you when I get up the next day. These things are really tiring, and they don't It’s for my own sake, so I thought about letting go of these constraints and living a happier life.”

"Then the happiness Lejun talks about is chatting with a bunch of girls?"

Sakakibara shook his head: "No, why would Liuli think so? Liuli cares so much about what they do, and it's normal for them. They just think I'm handsome when I play basketball, so they came over to chat with me."

Unable to explain, Amami Kuruuri only felt that the Sakakibara Raku in front of him had an indescribable smell. It was clear that he had done nothing wrong and he was usually very tired, but it just felt strange.

Sakakihara Raku looked at Amami Kuriuri who was standing under the setting sun:

"Liu Li came to me today to make peace with me?"

"." Tianhai Jiuliuli hesitated, "No."

"That's a shame."

pity

Is that all there is to it?

What did Lejun say to himself?

Obviously there are many more explanations

Tianhai Jiuliuli swallowed these questions and asked about Qi Mingyue:

"What's going on with Lejun and Qiyue? She's been shutting herself up in the Literature Department classroom now, and she doesn't even listen to what I say."

"Nana Mingzuki" Sakakibara looked serious and held her chin, "Maybe she thinks she can live well by herself and doesn't need me anymore."

".ah?"

Sakakihara took out his cell phone and checked the time: "Anyway, Liuli, it's useless for me to try to persuade Qi Mingyue now. I'm busy with my own affairs now. If you want to reconcile with me, you're welcome at any time, and I will try my best. Let me explain the current situation to you. As for now, I'm sorry, I have my own practice in the afternoon, so I won't take you with me."

".No, don't take me?"

"goodbye."

"wait--"

Before Amami Kuruuri could say anything, he saw Raku Sakakibara walking back to the gym alone.

Obviously, it was only a few days.

Why does it feel like Lejun is a completely different person?
