Tetsuo Kuroo remained silent with a sullen face. His dark golden eyes narrowed slightly, deep and calm like the surface of the sea before a storm.

He was originally leaning lazily on the sofa, but now he was sitting upright, showing a posture of accumulating power.

Akihito Matsukaze saw that the situation was not right and immediately hugged Tetsuo Kuroo's waist. She snuggled into his arms and pressed her cheek against his chest.

Tetsuo Kuroo's lips curled up, but he quickly suppressed his smile and returned to his expressionless face.

"Kuroo," Akihito Matsukaze said coquettishly, "Don't be angry, okay?"

Tetsuo Kuroo's voice was full of exaggerated surprise. "Shōnen Sauce, what are you talking about? When was I angry?

Did something happen to make me angry? "

"Black — tail —" Akihito Matsukaze dragged out her words.

Tetsuo Kuroo's dark golden eyes were tinged with a faint smile. He raised his hand and gently pinched the back of Akihito Matsukaze's neck. "I'm really not angry, just a little unhappy."

Akihito Matsukaze closed her eyes comfortably and rubbed her cheek against Tetsuo Kuroo's chest. She whined, "You can't be unhappy."

Tetsuo Kuroo pinched Akihito Matsukaze's cheek and sneered. "Are you a pervert?"

Songfeng Zhaoyan rubbed his sore cheeks as if he had been wronged. He raised his head and looked at Tetsuo Kurobi with a bit of grief in his eyes.

Tetsuo Kuroo proudly turned his head away, not looking at her.

"Kuroo ~" Akihito Matsukaze said in a soft voice.

Tetsuo Kuroo tilted his head and looked left and right, not looking at Akihito Matsukaze. "Hey, who's calling me?

Tsk, it must be an auditory hallucination. "

Akihito Matsukaze: "…" Such poor acting.

"Black — tail — kun —" Akihito Matsukaze dragged out her words again. At the same time, she held Tetsuo Kuroo's cheeks with both hands and tried to turn his face back.

Tetsuo Kuroo turned his head along with Akihito Matsukaze's strength, but his eyes looked everywhere, not looking at Akihito Matsukaze.

Akihito Matsukaze took a deep breath. She put her hands on Tetsuo Kuroo's shoulders and pushed him down on the sofa.

Tetsuo Kuroo leaned on the sofa's armrest and casually crossed one leg. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to use violence to make me … mmm …" Before he could finish his words, Akihito Matsukaze sealed his mouth with a kiss.

Tetsuo Kuroo's lips curved into a satisfied smile. Soon, he took control of the rhythm and deepened the kiss.

After the kiss, Akihito Matsukaze straightened up with her hands on Tetsuo Kuroo's shoulders and sat properly beside Tetsuo Kuroo.

She was panting slightly, and her clear and bright phoenix eyes were filled with ripples of light.

Akihito Matsukaze looked at Tetsuo Kuroo eagerly, as if asking, "Are you still unhappy?"

Tetsuo Kuroo calmly grabbed a pillow and stuffed it under his waist. He said lazily, "Shōnen Sauce, a kiss can't make me happy."

Akihito Matsukaze tilted her head and gently scratched Tetsuo Kuroo's chin. She said in a deep voice, "Kuroo, you're playing with fire."

Tetsuo Kuroo relaxed his body comfortably, allowing Akihito Matsukaze to scratch his chin like a cat. She said in a lazy and seductive tone, "Uh-huh, Shōnen Sauce is a coquettish little vixen."

Akihito Matsukaze pinched Tetsuo Kuroo's chin aggressively, but the kiss was more lingering than before.

She was like a cub constantly testing the bottom line of a large animal, robbing Tetsuo Kuroo's senses and thoughts little by little.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, chasing each other's lips and tongues back and forth. Their lips and tongues intertwined, making some subtle clicking sounds.

After the kiss, the two of them were panting heavily.

Akihito Matsukaze inadvertently glanced at Tetsuo Kuroo's body and immediately blushed.

She turned her back slightly and threw a pillow at Tetsuo Kuroo's waist.

Tetsuo Kurobi let out a low chuckle.

Akihito Matsukaze was so embarrassed that she covered her face, and even the tips of her ears were dyed with a magnificent red.

Tetsuo Kuroo calmed his breathing slightly and reached out to grab one of Akihito Matsukaze's wrists. With a gentle pull, he easily pulled Akihito Matsukaze into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Tetsuo Kuroo gently stroked Akihito Matsukaze's seaweed-like curly black hair, and used his chin to gently rub the top of Akihito Matsukaze's fluffy hair. His dark golden eyes were filled with joy, and the corners of his mouth kept rising uncontrollably.

Akihito Matsukaze was a little tickled by Tetsuo Kuroo's touch. She was a little annoyed as she patted Tetsuo Kuroo's chest and muttered, "I'm not a dog."

Tetsuo Kuroo couldn't help but laugh again. He laughed so hard that his chest kept trembling.

"Yes.

Shōnen Sauce is indeed not a dog. She's a lazy cat that I want to bring home to raise. "

Akihito Matsukaze: "!!!"

"You, you, you, you …" Akihito Matsukaze squeezed out a relatively complete sentence after a long time. "… So embarrassing!"

Tetsuo Kuroo was very innocent. "I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. How is it embarrassing?"

Akihito Matsukaze broke free from Tetsuo Kuroo's embrace and sat up on the sofa. She stared at Tetsuo Kuroo with a subtle and complicated look in her eyes.

Tetsuo Kuroo's dark golden eyes narrowed slightly. "Kiss me again?"

Akihito Matsukaze first snorted proudly before she obediently leaned over and kissed Tetsuo Kuroo's lips.

Tetsuo Kuroo took the opportunity to lick Akihito Matsukaze's lips.

Akihito Matsukaze's originally bright red cheeks became redder, and her eyes flowed with endless charm.

Tetsuo Kuroo held Akihito Matsukaze's soft hand and kissed the back of her hand.

"Don't be unhappy." Akihito Matsukaze kissed Tetsuo Kuroo's cheek. "Okay?"

"When I agreed to go on a trip with Grandpa and Grandpa, Otokumo hadn't started school yet."

Akihito Matsukaze said with a little grievance. "At that time, I didn't know that I would be dating Kuroo, nor did I know that I would be joining the volleyball club as the manager. Wasn't it normal to agree to Grandpa and Grandpa's invitation?"

Tetsuo Kuroo sighed. "I know.

But I haven't been able to see Shōnen Sauce for nearly a month. Isn't it normal for me to be a little emotional? "

When he thought about how Akihito Matsukaze would be traveling overseas for nearly a month after the holidays and wouldn't return to Tokyo until late August, Tetsuo Kuroo felt like his heart was on fire. They hadn't parted yet, but similar feelings of longing had already begun to grow.

It was strange. They were clearly parting ways, but why was his state of mind completely different from when he was in middle school?

It was really … too strange.

Tetsuo Kuroo held Akihito Matsukaze's hand tightly, brought it to his lips, and gently kissed her fingertips. He lowered his eyes to hide the surging waves in his eyes.

Akihito Matsukaze carefully traced the youth's handsome eyebrows. The numbness from her fingertips made her feel as if her heart was about to melt.

Akihito Matsukaze solemnly promised that she would send Tetsuo Kuroo a line every day.

Tetsuo Kuroo protested, "Why not call every day?"

Akihito Matsukaze answered matter-of-factly, "Because international calls are double-sided, so it's not cost-effective."

Tetsuo Kuroo: "…" That was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it.

The next day, Akihito Matsukaze told the rest of the volleyball club that she was going to travel during the summer vacation.

The rest of the club hadn't yet recovered from the shock of Akihito Matsukaze's request for leave for nearly a month, when they were shocked by another piece of news.

Shiroishi looked at the thick stack of training schedules in his hands. A 1.9m tall man was trembling in fear at the small stack of training schedules.

Tea House asked with some difficulty, "… Song- Matsutake, is this the summer vacation training schedule?"

Shibuya also swallowed with some difficulty, "… Isn't it a little too thick?"

Tetsuo Kuroo, Hisense, and Yasuke Yaku appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, they were also a little frightened by the thick schedule.

# The fear of being dominated by the amount of training #

Akihito Matsukaze explained, "This is the collective training schedule and the independent training schedule.

It's so thick because the independent training part wasn't printed separately. "

Only then did the youths let out a sigh of relief.

Tetsuo Kuroo flipped through the training schedule in his hands, looked at the relaxed teammates around him, and decided to remain silent.

Akihito Matsukaze winked playfully at Tetsuo Kuroo with her right eye.

Tetsuo Kuroo also curved the corners of his mouth.

"In addition, during my leave, in addition to long-term dormitory, Otokumo (we) will also have practice matches with other schools."

Akihito Matsukaze opened the training schedule to express her thanks, "I've already asked Shibuya senpai about the practice matches."

Shibuya gave Akihito Matsukaze an "OK" sign.

"Please do your best."

Akihito Matsukaze bowed to the members, her glittering phoenix eyes full of trust, "When I come back, everyone's strength will definitely be stronger than now, right?"

"Yes!"

Their sudden ambition and sense of responsibility caused the teenagers to respond so loudly that they almost overturned the roof of the No. 1 Gymnasium.

"Then, please do your best for the joint practice matches the day after tomorrow."

Akihito Matsukaze's face was full of smiles, "The independent training schedule may be adjusted according to the situation of the joint practice matches."

"Yes!"

July 9th, the first day of the first joint practice match of the Ogaya Gakuen Volleyball League summer break.

7: 30 AM, Kanagawa, Private Iokawa High School.

"Hey, hey, hey, Kuroo!"

The moment Kotaro Wooden Bunny got out of the car, he rushed over to Tetsuo Kurobi, who was waiting in front of the school gate, and hooked his arm around Tetsuo Kurobi's shoulder. "Did the final exam go smoothly?"

Tetsuo Kuroo grinned, his dark golden eyes narrowed slightly, "It went very smoothly. But Kotaro, I heard that you failed mathematics?"

Konoha Kotaro, "!!!"

How did you know? "

Tetsuo Kuroo had an unfathomable expression, "Of course I have my own sources of information."

Konoha Kotaro, "…" Do you really think I'll believe you?

On the other side, Tea House had already met up with the Owl Valley's general, who asked a few questions about Otokumo's retirement from the Owl Valley's general. Tea House answered them one by one, then said, "Please put your luggage down first before going to the gymnasium. Everyone is warming up in the gymnasium."

Owl Valley's general nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned around to gather the team.

"Kotaro!

Don't you want your travel bag? "Bai Fukuyue shouted angrily beside the bus.

"Oh, oh, oh, sorry!"

Konoha Kotaro touched his nose a little embarrassedly, then patted Tetsuo Kuroo's shoulder, "We'll talk later."

"Okay."

Tetsuo Kuroo also patted Konoha Kotaro's shoulder, "Hurry up and get your luggage, Kotaro who failed math."

Konoha Kotaro, "Hey!!!"

The group of people noisily walked into the school.

Iokawa High School didn't have a dormitory, so they arranged a few activity rooms in the teaching area as dormitories.

The boys' dormitories were on the second floor, while the managers' dormitories were on the third floor.

Hoshino, Bai Fukuyue, and Kaoru Aseda were about to go up to the third floor when they heard light footsteps.

Following the footsteps, a girl wearing a black cotton sports t-shirt and red sports pants appeared at the corner of the stairs.

Her appearance was bright and eye-catching, and her skin was as fair as jade. Her glossy black braids hung in front of her, and she looked like she had been photoshopped. There were no flaws at all.

When she saw the three managers of Owl Valley, she smiled sweetly, "Senpai Hoshino, Bai Fukuyue, Keda, you're here. Long time no see."

As she spoke, the girl walked down the stairs with light steps.

"Song — Feng —" Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda rushed up and gave Akihito Matsukaze a bear hug.

Hoshino stood at the side and touched Akihito Matsukaze's cheek with a smile, "It's been more than a month, and Matsutake has become even prettier."

"Senpai, don't make fun of me."

Akihito Matsukaze blinked innocently and patted Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda's backs. She looked around in confusion. "Eh, where's Asakawa?"

"Oh, Asakawa has officially left the department." Bai Fukuyue straightened up and spread her hands. "Before the final exams."

Kaoru Aseda nodded. "I wanted to send a line to Matsutake, but I forgot about it. Sorry."

Akihito Matsukaze touched Kaoru Aseda's head in amusement. "No need to apologize."

Bai Fukuyue explained simply, "Asakawa is transferring schools next semester, and she's been absent recently because of the transfer and moving, so …" She didn't finish her sentence, but Akihito Matsukaze already understood what she meant.

"I see." Akihito Matsukaze felt a little regretful.

It wasn't easy to meet someone who was obviously hostile to her, but the enemy left before they could even fight. It was really regrettable.

Sigh, she didn't know when she would meet someone as interesting as Asakawa again.

Akihito Matsukaze puffed up her cheeks and decided not to think about this kind of probability calculation.

"Let's go put down our luggage first."

Akihito Matsukaze pulled Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda to the third floor. She didn't forget to turn around and ask Hoshino, "Senpai, do you want me to help you with your luggage?"

"No need." Senpai Hoshino took the lead and walked up the stairs. "Is the dormitory the last classroom on the third floor?"

"Yes." Akihito Matsukaze nodded with a smile.

The four of them chatted and laughed along the way. They first put down their luggage in the classroom on the third floor, then carried emergency items such as towels, water bottles, and ice packs to Iokawa High School's second gymnasium.

The practice match was a tag-team battle.

After the warm-up, all the teams took turns to compete.

As a punishment, every time they lost a game, they would have to fish around the court.

Other than Owl Valley, Otokumo, Shigekawa, and Mori's volleyball team's third-year students had all retired. It was time for them to get used to the new teams through the practice match.

Almost all the teams that competed were new teams. It was foreseeable that the results of the practice match would be uncertain.

That being said, they only won one game in the morning … Akihito Matsukaze thought about increasing the training load as she filled her bowl with rice.

Tea House, who was anxiously waiting for her food, shuddered violently.

"Tea House senpai, please take care of your body."

Akihito Matsukaze placed a bowl of rice and various dishes on a plate. She pushed the plate in front of Tea House and reminded him seriously.

"Yes, senpai.

Thank you, Matsutake. "

Tea House raised his right hand to his temple and did a not-so-standard military salute. Then, she carried the plate and walked briskly to Shiroishi and Shibuya's table.

"What the hell were you thinking just now?" Tetsuo Kuroo stood in front of the table and pinched Akihito Matsukaze's cheek when she was taking the food.

Akihito Matsukaze's hand trembled and she almost dropped the piece of fried chicken she had just picked up.

Tetsuo Kuroo: "Σ (っ ° Д)

°;) っ be careful, Shōnen Sauce! "

"Don't drop the piece of fried chicken!" Tetsuo Kuroo looked nervous.

Akihito Matsukaze directly shook the piece of fried chicken off her chopsticks and smiled sweetly at Tetsuo Kuroo.

Tetsuo Kuroo caressed Akihito Matsukaze's cheek and used his thumb to rub the small patch of skin that was a little red from being pinched. He said with a little helplessness: "Shōnen Sauce is really vengeful."

Akihito Matsukaze's almond-shaped eyes curved slightly. She took the opportunity to rub Tetsuo Kuroo's palm and openly gave him another piece of fried chicken.

After showing off their love, Tetsuo Kuroo left with the plate in satisfaction.

The rest of the people who were watching this scene: "… …" Can't they just eat properly?!
