Today was the first day of classes after the Golden Week holiday, so the volleyball club still had to do morning exercises.

After leaving the bus station, Tetsuo Kuroo yawned as he walked towards school.

It was still early, and the sky was already bright. Most of the shops on the side of the road weren't open yet, and there weren't many students on the road. They were all a bit lazy.

When he saw the girl standing under a tree on the left side of the stairs in front of the school gate, carrying a school bag and a bag, and seeing the smile on her face after seeing him, Tetsuo Kurobi's face revealed an especially bright smile.

His Shōnen Sauce was really cute, really.

Yesterday on the phone, she said that she didn't miss him, but this morning she was waiting at the school gate early in the morning … Tetsuo Kuroo only felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

It was only now that he realized that he missed her more than he thought.

Akihito Matsukaze had already noticed Tetsuo Kuroo, and the joy in her heart made her eyes curve into crescents. When she saw that the smile on his face was even brighter than usual, she couldn't help but blush. She turned around to leave, but Tetsuo Kuroo had already caught up with her in large strides and pulled her back.

"Shōnen Sauce, where are you going?" Tetsuo Kuroo stood beside Akihito Matsukaze, tilting his head to look at her beautiful side profile as he asked with a smile, "Where are you going, Shōnen Sauce?"

The two of them were so close that Akihito Matsukaze could clearly feel the refreshing scent on Tetsuo Kuroo's body.

When he spoke, it seemed as if there was a warm breath brushing against her ears and cheeks.

Akihito Matsukaze's hand that was holding the bag tightened.

Akihito Matsukaze pretended to be calm as she turned her head to look at Tetsuo Kuroo. "Back to school."

Seeing that Akihito Matsukaze's face was becoming more and more obvious, Tetsuo Kuroo laughed softly. "Okay, then let's go back to school together."

Akihito Matsukaze nodded obediently.

Tetsuo Kuroo took the bag from Akihito Matsukaze's hand and found that there were several lunchboxes in the bag.

The two naturally interlocked their fingers and walked into the school together.

After entering the school, the two of them tacitly turned into the school's cherry blossom forest.

It was almost the middle of May. The cherry blossoms had all fallen, leaving only lush green leaves.

The forest was very quiet. Only the rustling of the wind and their footsteps could be heard.

After walking for a few minutes, Tetsuo Kuroo suddenly stopped. He put the bag by his feet and pulled Akihito Matsukaze into his arms.

Tetsuo Kuroo gently stroked the back of Akihito Matsukaze's head and smoothed out her long hair. The hair between his fingers was as smooth as spring water.

Tetsuo Kuroo silently sighed in satisfaction.

Akihito Matsukaze: "…" Why does it feel like he's stroking her head like he's stroking a pet?!

Oh, good thing I washed my hair last night. _ (: з 」 ∠) _

Nestled in Tetsuo Kuroo's arms, breathing in his scent and hearing his steady and powerful heartbeat, Akihito Matsukaze reached out and hugged Tetsuo Kuroo back. For some reason, she felt a bit like the female lead in an idol drama.

Tsk, even though Kuroo is only 16 years old, his figure seems to be pretty good, probably because he plays volleyball all year round.

Akihito Matsukaze pressed her face against Tetsuo Kuroo's black cotton vest and secretly felt Kuroo's muscles through the shirt.

Akihito Matsukaze secretly licked her lips.

The girl nestled in his arms obediently, and he seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance coming from her body. Tetsuo Kuroo resisted the urge to hug her even tighter. He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her fluffy hair, then stroked Akihito Matsukaze's hair. His voice was full of smiles: "Shōnen Sauce, didn't you say you didn't miss me last night?"

Akihito Matsukaze hugged him even tighter, but stubbornly retorted: "I didn't miss you, I just came early today. Kuroo, don't misunderstand."

Tetsuo Kuroo raised his eyebrows. His arms around Akihito Matsukaze used a bit of force to pull Akihito Matsukaze out of his arms, but his hands were still firmly around her.

Before he could say anything, he heard Akihito Matsukaze grumble unhappily: "Can't you hug me a little more?"

As soon as her voice fell, her face flushed red, and her bright and beautiful phoenix eyes were tinged with shyness.

Akihito Matsukaze lowered her head in a fluster, but as if she felt that this was showing weakness, she proudly raised her head again. Her eyes darted everywhere, but she didn't look at Tetsuo Kuroo.

Tetsuo Kuroo only felt that he was about to be melted by Akihito Matsukaze's cuteness. He couldn't help but reach out to touch Akihito Matsukaze's head, then pinched Akihito Matsukaze's little face gently, and said with a smile: "No, if I don't leave now, I'll be late for morning exercise."

Hearing this, Akihito Matsukaze angrily pinched Tetsuo Kuroo's waist.

Tetsuo Kuroo gasped in pain.

"Shōnen Sauce, you're too harsh. A man's waist is very important."

As Tetsuo Kuroo said, he grabbed Akihito Matsukaze's hand in revenge and bit Akihito Matsukaze's index finger.

He used very little strength, and the feeling from her fingertips wasn't pain, but a slight numbness. Akihito Matsukaze's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to retract her hand in a fluster. However, Tetsuo Kuroo held her hand tightly, and she couldn't move it.

Her face turned even redder. "…" Why did he suddenly bite me?

Tetsuo Kuroo kissed the fingertip that he had just bitten gently. "Good girl, let's have lunch together." After saying that, he let go of Akihito Matsukaze's hand.

Akihito Matsukaze blushed and put her hands behind her back. She rubbed her numb and itchy fingertips and nodded.

She moved her toes and reached out to pick up the bag on the ground. She took out a lunchbox wrapped in cotton and stuffed it into Tetsuo Kuroo's arms. Her voice was softer than usual. "I'll go back to the classroom first."

Tetsuo Kuroo held the lunchbox and looked at Akihito Matsukaze running away. He rubbed his chin, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Mhmm, it's better to go for morning exercises.

Akihito Matsukaze jogged all the way back to the classroom. Her face wasn't red, and she wasn't out of breath. She was even able to respond to her classmates' greetings as usual.

Akihito Matsukaze sat back in her seat and looked down at her fingertips that were just bitten and kissed. She gently rubbed them for a while before lazily lying on the desk and burying her face in her arms.

Sure enough … Kuroo is my favorite.

Akihito Matsukaze revealed a sweet smile.

When Tetsuo Kuroo returned to the classroom after his morning exercise, he brought Akihito Matsukaze a bottle of yogurt as usual. He also brought back the empty lunchbox.

"Is it good?" Akihito Matsukaze blinked and asked expectantly.

"It's good."

Tetsuo Kuroo nodded. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Um, because I went to the snack bar with Hai and Yaku …"

Akihito Matsukaze patted Tetsuo Kuroo's arm comfortingly and said, "It's for your friends."

Tetsuo Kuroo immediately retorted, "I'm not friends with Yaku!"

Akihito Matsukaze smiled and didn't say anything. She just gently held Tetsuo Kuroo's hand to comfort him. Tetsuo Kuroo took the opportunity to hold her hand back and gently squeezed it before sitting back in his seat.

The students who accidentally saw this scene were speechless. The single dogs trembled.

The lunchbox that Akihito Matsukaze gave Tetsuo Kuroo was filled with sandwiches.

The two layers of bread were baked to a golden brown. It was filled with bacon, ham, tomato, lettuce, and fried eggs. It was smeared with salad dressing, cut diagonally, and skewered with bamboo skewers. It looked, smelled, and tasted great.

After Yasuke Yaku took a bite of the sandwich, he was very puzzled. "How can someone like Kuroo have a girlfriend?"

And one as good as Matsutake -san?

Tetsuo Kuroo laughed heartily. "It can't be helped. Shōnen Sauce likes people like me."

If Hisense hadn't held him back, Yasuke Yaku probably would have smacked Tetsuo Kuroo's head with the lunchbox.

During lunch break, Akihito Matsukaze suggested that they go to the library lounge for lunch.

Tetsuo Kuroo nodded in agreement.

During lunch break, the library lounge was very quiet. Tetsuo Kuroo and Akihito Matsukaze were the only two people there.

Wooden tables and chairs were arranged neatly in the lounge. The windows were wide open, and light blue curtains were tied to the edges of the windows. The sunlight outside was just right, and it was bright enough even without the lights being turned on. The wind blew in from the windows, and it was just right.

As soon as they sat down in the corner, Akihito Matsukaze hugged Tetsuo Kuroo's waist and buried her face in Tetsuo Kuroo's chest.

Because it was already noon, Tetsuo Kuroo didn't wear a vest or tie. The first button of his shirt was unbuttoned, and a bit of his collarbone was vaguely exposed.

Akihito Matsukaze only wore her school uniform shirt and didn't wear her school uniform jacket. She even tied her long hair up into a bun.

Through the thin clothes, they seemed to be able to feel the heat of each other's skin.

Tetsuo Kuroo was stunned for a few seconds when he was suddenly hugged. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. He rubbed his chin against the top of her head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Akihito Matsukaze only hugged him tighter.

After a long while, Tetsuo Kuroo heard her muffled voice. "Kuroo, what do you think about me becoming the manager of the volleyball club?"

Tetsuo Kuroo was just about to ask why, but he understood the reason in a flash. His originally gentle expression became even gentler.

Seeing that Akihito Matsukaze still buried her face in his chest and refused to look up, Tetsuo Kuroo withdrew his hand from her waist and covered the back of her neck to gently pinch. The skin under his palm was slightly cold and soft. Tetsuo Kuroo pinched it again before following the soft curve of her neck and placing his hand on the side of Akihito Matsukaze's face.

Akihito Matsukaze felt a gentle and strong force. She could only follow the force and raise her head. She just happened to meet Tetsuo Kuroo's eyes.

Tetsuo Kuroo didn't smile, but his expression was full of gentleness. His dark golden eyes were full of gentleness and laughter.

Akihito Matsukaze's face was red, and her clear phoenix eyes were full of tenderness and shyness.

Seeing that Tetsuo Kuroo was looking at her without saying anything, Akihito Matsukaze slowly blinked and asked softly, "Kuroo?"

Why was she so cute?

Tetsuo Kuroo sighed silently.

The hand that was holding Akihito Matsukaze's shoulder slid down her back and wrapped around her waist.

The gentle kiss first landed between her eyebrows, then on her left eyelid, right eyelid, the tip of her nose, and finally on her lips.

Akihito Matsukaze's long eyelashes fluttered, and she obediently closed her eyes.

Tetsuo Kuroo tried to gently kiss Akihito Matsukaze's lips. When he found that she didn't resist, he hugged Akihito Matsukaze tighter and deepened the kiss. The hand that was holding her face also gently held the back of her neck.

Feeling that her lips were being gently nibbled and sucked, Akihito Matsukaze opened her mouth slightly.

She stuck out her pink tongue and licked Tetsuo Kuroo's lips. Just as she was about to escape, Tetsuo Kuroo caught her.

It wasn't until Akihito Matsukaze withdrew her hand from Tetsuo Kuroo's waist and gently pushed his shoulder that the two of them ended the deep kiss.

Tetsuo Kuroo bit Akihito Matsukaze's lips again before hugging her back into his arms.

Tetsuo Kuroo was in a good mood and pinched Akihito Matsukaze's neck. His voice was a little hoarse. "I'll ask Takahashi senpai about today's work. He should agree."

Akihito Matsukaze softly replied, "Okay."

But in her heart, she thought — I didn't expect Kuroo to be so talented in kissing.

(: з 」 ∠) _

The two of them hugged for a while more before they began to eat sweetly.

Akihito Matsukaze had just picked up a piece of fried chicken when Tetsuo Kuroo came over and ate it. He chewed a few times and swallowed before saying, "Shōnen Sauce, your lips are a little swollen. It's better if you don't eat fried food."

Akihito Matsukaze blushed and glared at Tetsuo Kuroo coquettishly. She quickly picked up another piece of fried chicken and ate it as a demonstration.

She thought she was glaring at Tetsuo Kuroo, but now her cheeks were flushed and her phoenix eyes were shining. It might be more appropriate to say that she was winking at him.

Tetsuo Kuroo's eyes darkened. If it weren't for the fact that they were eating, he really wanted to kiss her again.

After lunch, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back to the classroom. They stayed in the lounge and chatted.

"Grandpa and the others all know that I have a boyfriend." Akihito Matsukaze leaned in Tetsuo Kuroo's arms and asked softly, "You don't mind, do you?"

Tetsuo Kuroo squeezed her fingers and said, "What a coincidence. I also told my parents about Shōnen Sauce."

Akihito Matsukaze looked up at Tetsuo Kuroo and smiled sweetly. Then she took out her mobile phone and showed Tetsuo Kuroo the photos of the two kittens.

"Do they have names?"

Tetsuo Kuroo put his arms around Akihito Matsukaze's waist, put his chin on her shoulder, and put all his weight on Akihito Matsukaze. He was so lazy that he looked like he had no bones.

As he spoke, he rubbed Akihito Matsukaze's face.

Akihito Matsukaze pointed at the kitten with a white stripe on its tail and said, "This is the younger brother, Cat King." Then she pointed at the other kitten with a black tail and said, "This is the older brother, Little Black."

Tetsuo Kuroo was silent for a moment and said, "Judging from their names, they don't sound like brothers."

Akihito Matsukaze looked innocent and said, "Not all brothers have similar names."

Tetsuo Kuroo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you really want to call them Little Black?"

Akihito Matsukaze smiled and said, "Yes, I also asked Grind. Grind also thinks that Little Black is a good name."

Tetsuo Kuroo was speechless.

"I plan to give Cat King to Ah Hing as a birthday present," Akihito Matsukaze said and poked the Cat King on the screen.

Tetsuo Kuroo said, "Why don't you give it to your older brother?"

Akihito Matsukaze looked at Tetsuo Kuroo and rubbed his face with the back of her hand. Then she touched his messy black hair and said softly, "I won't give Little Black to anyone else."

She repeated seriously, "I won't give Little Black to anyone else."

Tetsuro Kurobi couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart. He only felt that his heart had melted into a ball. He moved closer and wanted to kiss her again, but was blocked by Songfeng Zhaoyan.

"We just ate. You can't." Akihito Matsukaze blinked innocently.

Tetsuo Kuroo smiled and didn't say anything. He just poked Akihito Matsukaze's waist.

Akihito Matsukaze cried out and fell into Tetsuo Kuroo's arms.

"Hey, what's wrong with Shōnen Sauce?" Tetsuo Kuroo asked in surprise.
