About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

"By the way, Lejun, do you want to practice basketball with us now?"

"For me to go over there and get an eye roll every five seconds?"

"."

Amami Kuruuri lowered her head and fell silent. Recalling what happened in school yesterday, she felt a little sorry for Sakakibara Raku.

——Proposed to him to practice together, and then thought that Qi Qi would also come over. As long as the two of them got along for a while, they could remember their past friendship and get closer despite the distance.

but.

It always backfires.

Qiyue would say something venomous to Lejun every five seconds, and Lejun would not give in to Qiu now, and then the two of them would taunt each other with harsh words without mercy.

It felt uncomfortable to be caught next to the two of them.

Do you think it's necessary for the two of them to poke each other's scars like this?

Playing basketball is full of gunpowder.

"Lejun, can you try to give in to Qiyue?"

"Why let it go?"

"Because maybe Qi Qi is waiting for you to soften your attitude, Lejun?"

"Why didn't she just relax and wait for me?"

"Because it was Lejun who did something excessive before. It's not like Lejun doesn't know how important Qiyue attaches to Lejun."

"Let's discuss the matter, Liuli."

"Okay." Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded.

"I never care what Qiyue said to me. I did something wrong, and of course I will try my best to make up for it. My demands are indeed too much for you."

"Then why is Lejun still so angry with Qiyue?"

"She said things that she, as July, should never have said. I can't accept that she didn't acknowledge her child self who was saved by compassion.

"She thinks my sympathy is unnecessary. Liuli, do you remember what I said to you yesterday afternoon?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli thought for a while and tentatively guessed:

"Lejun hopes to be loved?"

Sakakihara shook his head, "To be precise, it's 'My life comes from the approval of others. I give my family as much care as possible and hope to receive love in return'."

What does this mean?

Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't want to listen blindly, because if she didn't think about it, she believed that it would be impossible to reconcile the relationship between him and Qiyue.

Therefore, after careful consideration, I tentatively asked:

"Because Lejun relied on these emotions to support himself in the past. By asking Lejun to give up sympathy in July, is he denying Lejun your fundamental motivation?"

"It's the fundamental personality!"

Sakakibara burst into laughter, then calmed down.

"Since she asked me to abandon my compassion, that's good, but it also means that she denies the past, and she doesn't want to be saved by me.

"I used to believe that Qiyue was the one who understood me, and I was willing to take responsibility for her feelings because of this. But since she doesn't even recognize me as a person, why should I contact her again?

"Everyone is born as an individual. No one is the child of destiny or the person who is destined. Since Qiyue thinks so, she doesn't even recognize her past self. Then I don't want to beg her so humbly anymore."

After Sakakihara explained carefully, he glanced at the time on his watch.

"Okay, Liuli, I don't want to explain too much about July. I have a game with people from the basketball club at noon. You can make your own arrangements at noon today."

After he said these words, he walked straight to the teaching building.

well.

Amami Kuruuri stood under the shade of the zelkova tree, watching Sakakibara Raku's back go away.

The girl sighed slightly in her heart.

She thought to herself that the relationship between Lejun and Qiyue was more serious than she imagined.

Qi Qi was angry because Le Jun didn't keep his promise.

Lejun was angry because Qiyue didn't recognize him and even asked Lejun to change his long-standing insistence.

Maybe Lejun's current changes are just fulfilling July's wish?

The current Lejun is the result of Qi Qi's hope that he would abandon his sympathy?

Sure enough, in this world, people can't understand each other after all?

Tianhai Jiuliuli even felt that he didn't agree with what Qi Qi had said to Le Jun before, the words "I've had enough and put myself in someone else's shoes".

If there is no empathy, there will be a lack of empathy.

If you don’t put yourself in someone else’s shoes, why would you expect others to understand you? Empathize with yourself?

She has little hope for their future.

Will the two of them really go their separate ways in the future?

No, there is no use in sighing. Now that I understand the true thoughts of the two people, I have to work hard to find a solution.

There are still 11 days until the official start of the sports festival.

Well, what should I say?

In addition to studying, the entire campus also involves sports. On the one hand, they have to prepare for the final exam, and on the other hand, they have to practice in advance for the sports festival events.

Therefore, even though it was eight o'clock sharp in Tokyo time and there was no sunlight in the sky, there were still many people left on the school playground.

"Hmm. Ha."

Yuki's slightly childish voice caressed both ears, and Sakakihara couldn't help but slow down the rhythm so that she could be more comfortable.

"Yuki, if it doesn't work, just take a rest."

"No. It's not easy for Mingmingle to still have such physical strength. You can stay with me alone. You should be more proactive."

Seeing Amami Nozuki's extremely red face, Sakakibara was happy to see that she was still willing to persevere, and could only say Amitabha in his heart.

Then she used one hand to dunk down the basketball she was trying to defend.

Now Tianhai Zhixue really couldn't stand it anymore and sat down on the grass.

The sweatshirt stained with sweat stuck to her body, not only the curves of her body, but also the traces of underwear on her shoulders and chest could be clearly seen.

"Lele's physical strength is really, really great," Tianhai Zhixue gasped, the redness on her face not completely gone.

"Don't use such strange words, others will misunderstand you. But if Liuli hears this, I'll be happy to stab me in the back."

Raku Sakakihara sat down next to her with the basketball beside him.

Looking up, the sky above Tokyo is a deep blue.

The plane left a trail in the clouds, shining with bright spots of light.

"Why do you say that?"

"Living is quite tiring, isn't it? If you think about it carefully, death is actually nothing. You can sleep peacefully and forever. You will no longer be in a dilemma, and you will no longer feel uncomfortable when you make mistakes, hurting others and yourself."

Amami Zuki hugged her legs and turned her head to look at Sakakibara Raku's side face looking up at the sky. She was obviously very happy to have Raku practicing basketball with her tonight, but seeing his expression suddenly made her feel quite depressed.

Immediately afterwards, there is also a kind of powerlessness.

Even though she was by his side, she couldn't give him anything or help him.

"It's just an inexplicable complaint!"

Sakakibara smiled suddenly, met the slightly lowered gaze of Amami Nozuki, and touched her head with the big white flower on top.

"Don't worry, for me, yuki is also unique to me at the moment. There are not many things that can support me alive now, yuki you are the one."

"But, I obviously haven't done anything to help Le."

"trust."

"."

"Absolute trust counts as one," Raku Sakakibara continued, staring at himself reflected in Amami no Snow's eyes, "Yuki will definitely do what I say now, right?"

"Well, whatever Le says, I will do."

How should I describe this feeling?

Trust without a trace of doubt or suspicion, without caring about anything else, with the world in your eyes being the only one trusting you, is indeed something that makes people persevere.

It is precisely because of this that Sakakihara Raku does not want to ruthlessly remove the only sun in her world.

Perhaps Sakakibara Raku's smile and head-touching were very effective for Amami Noyuki, and her heart felt a lot warmer.

She felt that she owed too much to Le.

It's all because of my own happiness that I became what I am now.

"I want to give Le a squeeze on my shoulders."

"Huh? That's a good feeling. Come on."

Sakakibara sat up slightly, and Amami no Yuki immediately came behind him. Although the movements are a bit clumsy, they are sincere and feel particularly comfortable even when pinched.

The July wind blew gently, and my body soaked with sweat felt a warm coolness. The beech trees next to the stadium rustled in the night. A little further away, students from the track and field department were still shouting slogans and kept running.

"Well, sister Liuli said this afternoon that she wanted to ask Lejun for something."

"Is something wrong?"

Raku Sakakihara closed his eyes and enjoyed the shoulder massage from Amami Nozuki behind him.

"If something happened, why didn't Liuli tell me herself? Ah, that's right. Qi Qiu will be there in the afternoon. It's not good for her to talk to me alone. Tell me what's the matter."

"Sister Liuli said that the members of the basketball team have been found."

Basketball is a five-player game, and their women's basketball currently only has four players, Liuli, Qiyue, Ling, and Zhixue.

"Who did the fifth person invite?"

"Tian Nai."

The timid girl immediately appeared in Sakakibara's mind, "Ah, it's true. It was probably A Suzu who fooled her into this. She's not a girl who likes sports."

If you think about it carefully, this basketball team is really in tatters.

Qiyue and A Ling are two weaklings in sports. Although Zhixue's physical strength is not bad, he is a novice among novices, so he is practicing hard every day.

Tian Nai probably can’t either.

In other words, Liuli can be considered a "leap-level athlete". She must be the power forward in the team, specializing in offense and defense.

"Then, Sister Liuli also said that the team has been formed and has been practicing for several days. I want Le to help me."

"help?"

"Well, Sister Liuli said that Le has been very close to the people in the basketball club recently, and she wants Le to help organize a practice match against each other."

Ah, got it.

Before, they were almost practicing basic skills on their own, and they had not really experienced any actual combat.

Now that the team is fully formed, I want to try it out in practice.

It is indeed possible to find someone from the basketball club.

It is indeed more convenient for Liuli to invite people from the basketball club through herself.

It's just that all the people I know are boys.

Will they agree?

*

"What?! There is such a good thing?!"

Okay, Sakakibara decided to take back his idea last night.

When I heard that these guys could play ball with girls, it was really - to describe it as a chicken blood, it is no exaggeration.

The head of the basketball club is senior Makino Yang. He usually looks ordinary, but he is a decent and sunny boy, so he is particularly happy.

He was unwilling to give up this opportunity of a practice match to the girls in the club.

Although there are no girls in his club at all.

Are there really any girls willing to join this stinky men's club that is full of sweat every day?

Ah, speaking of which, it was only recently after I joined the basketball club that they hired a female manager.

Makino Yang directly put his arms around Sakakibara Raku's neck, and said to the members in front of him very generously in their club classroom decorated only with basketballs and jerseys:

"Let me just say, it is a very wise choice for Junior Sakakibara to join our club."

The deputy minister, wearing a pair of rimless glasses and a bookish face, but tall and thin, Senior Gao Shan held his forehead and said helplessly:

"When I said that I wanted Sakakibara to join, I don't know who or where said that after he joins, there will be no girls watching our games, and he must not be allowed to come in, or something like that."

"Huh? Is this happening? Why don't I, the minister, know about it?"

Makino Yang grinned widely. When he saw that the club members were looking at him with dead eyes, he immediately changed the topic and became serious.

"Ahem, let's get back to business. Of course we can help with the things you mentioned, Sakakihara. Although the basketball club has a large number of people, there are only a few people who actually come to participate in club activities. Everyone has their own circle. Basketball In fact, we only practice this with a few classmates we have good relationships with.

"And this sports festival is not just held by our school, people from other campuses will also come to participate. As the basketball club of Myingtoku Junior High School, we have an obligation to help the women's basketball team in our school improve their strength! This is an unshirkable obligation.

"So, when and where is this competition?"

Sakakihara shrugged:

"It's not clear yet. They haven't decided yet. I only found out about it yesterday."

"That's okay, it doesn't matter. When it's confirmed, it won't be too late to inform us. We'll be available at any time."

Even if you agree to this matter.

Several classmates from the basketball club were quite serious about this matter, and were still discussing whether to try to keep their hands or something, so as not to make the opponent look too ugly and lose face.

"Hey, Sakakibara."

"do what?"

Sakakihara turned his head and saw Fujino Yoshiyuki coming to his side.

This guy had been playing basketball with him for a long time, so he joined the basketball club.

Anyway, in his previous department, he was also doing odd jobs.

As soon as others said that playing basketball would make his girlfriend like him more, he jumped on the bandwagon.

"Sakakibara, who is the girls' basketball team that you said you want our help with?"

"Didn't I say that just now?"

"No, you never said it."

Didn't you say it?

So why are they so excited?

Or are they just happy to hear that they can play basketball with girls?

"Isn't it Liuli's team?"

Fujino Yoshiyuki was stunned, "The team of deputy squad leader Jiujiu Liuli?"

"Ah, what's wrong?" Sakakibara didn't understand why he looked like this.

".That's no chance."
