Tianhai Jiuliuli is not stupid, listen carefully to the hidden meaning in his words.

Since the relationship between the two was not unfamiliar, she asked directly:

"Lejun, are you... angry because I haven't taken the initiative to stick to you recently?"

"No."

"I'm definitely angry. No wonder I feel like you've become a lot colder recently... When we just reconciled, you even took the initiative to ask me for a kiss or something."

"No." Sakakihara Raku still answered, "I won't be angry with Ruri. On the contrary, I want to fulfill Ruri's inner wish."

Tianhai Jiuliuli's pupils narrowed slightly, and he instantly understood the meaning of his words:

"Lejun...are you willing to take me there?"

"After all, it is the promise I made to you. After the sports festival, it will be summer vacation. This time period is quite good. Although it will still be some time before you can participate in the competition."

"Lejun, you have the nerve to say it! Didn't you say before that you would practice piano with me and then participate in the piano competition together next year? Has Lejun been practicing piano recently?"

"Yes, I will practice when I have time."

"True or false?!" Tianhai Jiuliuli was happy in his heart, because this meant that he still remembered what he had said to him.

"real."

"Okay! It's settled. After the sports festival is over, you will take me to England to see Maple Leaf Avenue."

"The premise is that you win the championship with Zhixue and the others, then I will only take you there."

"completely fine!"

Tianhai Jiuliuli agreed so happily that five minutes later, Tianhai Qimingyue called him over to get ready to start the game.

Sakakihara Rakudo glanced at the five people in front of him and returned to the auditorium.

...

The competition was more lively and exciting than imagined.

Amami Kuruuri fought hard to grab the basket; Amami Yuki and Sakakibara Suzu took the initiative to attack; Amami Nanami reviewed the situation, even though her physical strength was weaker than others, she was still able to pass the order when she got the ball.

Amazing pass.

The one that has changed the most is the snow in Tianhai.

She originally liked to stay in the corner and have no sense of presence, but now she has become so dazzling on the field.

She is constantly galloping around the court, and even if her opponents are much taller than her, she can still toy with the enemy players with her almost overwhelming speed and smart movements that she has trained hard in recent times.

The score went from 40:50 to 53:57, and then got closer and closer...

"bell!"

"okay!!"

She and her teammates responded to each other, took care of each other, and passed the ball continuously.

With the cooperation of several people and the outstanding performance of Tianhai Zhixue, the score reached 65 points for the opposite team and tied with 65 points for our team, and the situation fell into an anxious state.

However, there were only five minutes left in the second half. Considering the height difference between the two sides, there was little hope of tying the score.

"bell!"

Kururi Amami grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Suzu Sakakibara, who was in the best position.

Suzu Sakakihara held the ball and moved it towards the opponent's basket with sweat dripping from her back.

However, the opponent's defense was too fast, and the game was too long, so she was exhausted. Before she could take two more steps, the opponent's center suddenly snatched the ball from her hands, and a few seconds later, she ran in

Inside the three-point line of your own basket.

"It's... it's finished..."

The opponent's center is the tallest player. With his height and strength, if he wants to stop him, he must let Tianhai Jiuliuli play. But this is impossible now, because Tianhai Jiuliuli has been restricted by the opponent's two players. Passing the ball rashly will end up

Will give the other party a chance.

Taking into account the above conditions...the hope of reversing the situation is already slim.

However...

Just when she was thinking this, her eyes lit up when Sakai Chitianno suddenly appeared.

She jumped hard, almost losing her balance in the air. Sakai Chidano used her fingertips to force the opponent's ball to change slightly when it was thrown.

The trajectory has been changed.

The ball...under everyone's gaze, spun slowly around the basket...and then fell straight down.

good chance!

Everyone in the team suddenly had the same idea in their minds.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was the first to react. She struggled to break through the defense of the two. Under the blocking of the two, she jumped with all her strength, got ahead of the opponent's center, and swatted the basketball to the left.

"July!"

"Sister July!"

Of course, the opponent will not sit still and change direction to defend the moment the ball flies out.

Tianhai Qimingyue heard the voices of the two people and immediately ran. The moment the opponent was about to touch the ball, he shot the ball away from the three-point line.

Tianhai Zhixue caught the ball steadily outside the midfield.

She gathered all her strength and ran quickly on the court like a bolt of lightning, carrying the ball straight to the opponent's basket... her precise dribbling was unstoppable.

One, two, three...the opponent's defense was constantly being broken through.

When reaching the enemy's center, Tianhai Zhixue suddenly made a disguised movement, and the ball passed under the opponent's thigh.

When the enemy center was stunned, she accelerated her sprint, passing through the opponent's double team like lightning, and reached the three-point line.

"yuki!"

Tianhai Zhixue suddenly stopped, holding the basketball in both hands, and then... she jumped high.

The ball...fell out of her hands.

The beautiful trajectory is indescribable and indescribable.

The basketball leaping upward... was surrounded by several pairs of hands leaping up at the same time, but it could never reach the end point of the arc.

With only three minutes left in the second half, Tianhai Zhixue officially won the match point under the attention of the entire audience.

That awe-inspiring leap seemed to take her straight past her past self, forever striving toward the distant shore with no end in sight.

"yuki!..."

"yuki!..."

"yuki!..."

Not only the class cheerleading team organized by Fujino, but the seniors in other classes and grades were also shouting her name spontaneously.

"Awesome! Yuki!" Sakakihara Suzu excitedly rushed over and hugged her, screaming.

"A perfect goal." Tianhai Qimingyue said something while sweating profusely after getting closer.

"Awesome!" Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled happily.

"Yuki-chan...that's amazing!" Chitiano Sakai said with a happy face.

Several people, soaked in sweat, gathered around and crowded together.

Raku Sakakibara couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Amami Nozuki smiling from the bottom of his heart when he was surrounded and praised by everyone in the auditorium.

This is...really growing.

"It seems that only this time, Xiaole, you can smile from the bottom of your heart." Tian Haizi stood in the same row with him, folding his chest with one hand and looking at his side face.

"very happy?"

"Ah, I'm very happy."

"Xiao Le, you are obviously stronger. If you win the game, more people will praise you. Why do I feel that you are not as happy as you are now."

"Auntie, you need to know that for me, the happiest thing is not what I have gained. It is that the people around me have changed in ways that have never happened before. In this change, the other person gains joy and new life."

Tian Haizi looked at her younger sister who was surrounded by everyone in the arena and looked happy, "But, Xiaole...yuki can perform well, isn't it because of her own efforts?"

"Yes...it is only because of her own efforts that she can achieve such outstanding results today. My influence is actually minimal."

Tianhaizi felt even more strange, "Then why do you look so happy, Xiaole?"

"Because she started to have her own way, aunt. She understood that the joy did not only come from me, she also experienced the beauty of life in other places, which made her feel more important.

"She began...to learn to grow on her own..."

There was constant applause in the gym, but Amami Azusa stared at Raku Sakakibara's focused profile, falling into deeper thoughts.

She recalled what Ruri, Qiyue, and Suzu had said to her about Sakakibara Raku.

Like, I observed something.
Chapter completed!
