    Chapter 7 Rose

    Kohakugawa took his cell phone back and looked at the photos he had just taken. He scrolled back until he found the photo of Sakuza Seiko that he had secretly taken before. He felt frightened in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

    “Sakuhaya-kun’s photos are very beautiful, even better than those taken by my team.” Kohakugawa said.

    Sakuza Seomi thought he had done nothing.

    Although when playing games in other countries and cities, he was always pulled by Kotaro Bokuto and Miya Yu to help take strange check-in photos. For this reason, he also learned some photography skills – after all, Sakuha Seomi is a man who must do his best, and the same goes for taking photos of his teammates – but he really did nothing just now except repeatedly clicking the shutter.

    He couldn’t help but think of the truth that was mentioned repeatedly in the photography tutorials he had watched before.

    There are three elements to a portrait: the model looks good, the model looks good, and the model looks good.

    Kohaku Chuanliu sent the report photo to the assistant, and the assistant calmed down, and the two of them could finally walk quietly on the beach.The sea and the night sky were like a dark blue velvet cloth, wrapping the two of them and completely isolating them from the outside world.Amber River thought: Sleeping, eating, dazing, walking, all the life he expected has been realized, all he has to do is fall in love with the person walking next to him.

    What does he think of me?Amber River couldn’t help but ponder.

    Am I not a big star?Why do I keep encountering these volleyball heads who regard my fame, aura, beauty, money… as nothing?Let’s forget that Kotaro Bokuto is a fool, and Seiko Sakuzaa doesn’t seem to be very caring about him.

    Is there a bug in this world?Why am I not a big star who is obsessed with everyone as soon as I appear on the stage? Why do I have four handsome guys playing volleyball surrounding me?…Okay, Kohakugawa admits that when he was a child, acting in idol dramas damaged his brain…

    The Holy Minister Sakuza walking next to him was as silent as a sculpture, as if he was unaware of all this.

    “Do you want to go back?” He just asked, “It’s a bit cold.”

    “…Okay.” Amber River said.

    Sakuza Seiko guided the Kohaku River back to the hotel, and was speechless all the way.

    Kohaku Chuanliu was full of irritation. After today was over, what reason should he use to ask Sakuzamori out next time?He bit the dead skin on his lips irritably, and had no choice but to take out the lip balm he brought with him and apply it again.

    If a seemingly invisible rose lingers on the tip of Sakuzao’s nose again, he seems to be confused by the fragrance. He can’t help but turn around and ask when waiting for the red light: “What is this?”

    “Lip balm.” Kohaku Chuanliu also turned to look at him and asked in a subtle way, “…do you want to apply it?”

    After asking, he wanted to beat himself to death. This was Sakuza Seomi. Sakuza Seomi, who always carries wet wipes and alcohol gel with him, how could he share a box of lip balm with others?!…Sakuzao Holy Minister nodded.

    Amber River was completely stunned.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister nodded?!

    Is he OOC?!

    “I, I, I, I… didn’t bring a cotton swab…” Kohakugawa said.

    “How did you apply it?” asked Sakuzao.

    Kohaku Chuanliu showed him her fingers blankly.

    Sakuzashengchen nodded again: “I’m driving, please help me apply it.”

    Amber River: “………………”

    Am I dreaming?

    But we have already reached this point, we have already reached this point…

    He lightly dipped some light pink paste on his ring finger and leaned towards Sakuza Sacred Minister.The neon lights of the city were filtered into hazy spots by the car window glass, and the silhouettes of the two people’s faces were outlined in the narrow space inside the car.

    Sakuza Shengchen held his breath. The face that he had traced on the screen countless times with his eyes had come close to him, and his ring finger seemed to be trembling slightly.

    At this moment, Amber River smiled at him.

    It was an extremely brief smile, and he wasn’t even sure if it was a smile.Sakuza Seomien only captured the moment from burning to extinguishing, and had no time to think about what it meant.

    In the darkness, Amber’s cat-like eyes looked brighter and more breathtaking.The earring on his earlobe reflected the neon lights on the street, and also shone a little pale silver in the darkness.

    The fingertips gently stroked his lips.

    Sakuza Seomiji lowered his eyes to look at his fingertips, while Kohaku Gawa looked at his pale lips seriously.The two breaths intertwined, rapid and hot, and each could not help but yearn for the other’s touch, as if it was the precursor of a lover’s kiss.

    “Ba——”

    The flow of Amber was like waking up from a big dream, and he took back his hand like an electric shock.

    “It’s done, it’s done.” Kohaku Chuanliu said.

    He closed the metal box, and in his panic, he mistakenly thought that he had put the lip balm away, but he didn’t know that it just slipped along the fabric of his clothes and slipped silently into the gap in the seat.

    The traffic light had turned green, and the impatient traffic behind them honked at the motionless car.Sakuza Seomi had also come to his senses and immediately shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, avoiding an impending traffic jam.

    The inertia threw the Amber River back into the seat, and he turned to look out the window. The golden outline of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel appeared on the glass, and the assistant’s figure appeared at an inappropriate time, waving to their car.

    “I…I’m going back.” Kohaku Chuanliu didn’t dare to look at Sakuzao Holy Minister.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister also looked away: “Well, goodbye.”

    The assistant opened the car door and quickly opened a black umbrella to block the flow of Amber.

    “Be careful, there are reporters squatting in front of the hotel, don’t let them see you – eh,” he asked, “Brother Ambergawa, why is your face so red?”

    Amber River: “…”

    The assistant was a very polite young man. Even in an emergency, he did not forget to wave to Sakuza Seiomi, and then he slipped into the hotel while blocking the Kohaku River.

    Looking at the back of the Kohaku River, Sakuzasaki thought of the princess in the fairy tale who was taken away by the fairy godmother in a pumpkin carriage at midnight.

    Then he noticed something reflecting the golden light of the hotel between the gaps in the seats.

    ——The glass slipper left by the princess.

    He leaned over and picked up the Victorian-style retro metal box. On the box was a picture of the rose garden where Alice was walking in her dream, exuding a faint fragrance.

    Saint Sakuza raised his head, only to see that the figure of Kohaku Chuanliu had gone away.

    Just like when he first saw Amber River, he wanted to stop him, but never spoke.

    *

    Kohaku Chuanliu: “It’s over, it’s over! Something is wrong!”

    Amber River: “Ahh! Why did I do that!”

    Amber River: “In his eyes, I just went on a blind date with his teammate, and I turned around to flirt with him. Will he think that I am a particularly frivolous person? The episode of QAQ that best conforms to the stereotype of the entertainment industry…”

    The assistant comforted him: “No.”

    “Yes.” Kohakugawa Ryusei said hopelessly, “Contestant Sakuhaya is a person who takes everything very seriously. Now I will definitely be blocked by him. You don’t know, his body was stiff just now, and he must hate me.”

    “No way.” The assistant said, “Aren’t all athletes like this? They have stereotypes. After they become famous, they want to find a beautiful star as a partner, otherwise it will be like they have failed in life. No matter how decent they are on the surface, they talk about the future and dreams, and they only talk about two in private.” [1]

    Amber River: “Impossible!!!”

    “This matter was also recorded in Weekly Wenchun.” The assistant said, “Do you want to read it? Wenchun’s writing is so wonderful, what about “The Home Run King of the Night”…”

    Amber River: “…”

    Kohakugawa: “I won’t listen, Sakuhaya is not that kind of person.”

    “Have you only known him for a few days?What’s the difference?It’s all the same.”The assistant said, “It’s just that Ms. Nikaido protects you so well. Brother Kohakugawa, you don’t know how bad the outside world is…”

    “I won’t tell you.”Pure Love Party member Kohaku Chuanliu was furious, “I’m going to talk to another Pure Love Party member. He is a positive case.”

    *

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “…”

    The man with black instant noodle hair was struggling.

    He had previously inquired from Gong Yu that the sponsor introduced Kotaro Bokuto and Kohakugawa Ryu on a blind date because he was more in line with Kohakugawa Ryu’s requirements.I don’t know what the specific requirements are, but since I can find Kotaro Bokuto, he must be completely different from me.

    Moreover, wouldn’t it be bad to do this yourself?

    After all, he is the blind date of his teammates.

    “Qiang Qiang!”The owl suddenly appeared from behind Sakuzao Senchen, “What’s wrong, Senchen!Is there anything bothering you?”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “…”

    Although it has nothing to do with Kotaro Bokuto, seeing him now makes him unavoidably more troubled.

    “If you have any troubles, you can tell me!Kotaro Bokuto didn’t know all this at all, “After all, you helped me a lot with the Kohaku River matter, so now it’s my turn to be your close brother!””

    “You’re right, I need to talk to someone, thank you.”Sakuzao Holy Minister said.

    Kotaro Bokuto had an expression on his face that said, “That’s right, come find your close brother.”

    “…but not you.” Sakuzao said.

    There is also a highly respected person who can be regarded as his senior in volleyball and life, who is the perfect person to discuss this matter.

    Kotaro Bokuto: “QAQ?”

    *

    Kodaira City, Tokyo.

    Tachibana Yukito sat in front of the TV holding the controller and was selecting a game from the game library: “What are we playing? What chapter did we reach in the last game of “Twin Shadow Wonderland”?”

    Ushijima Wakali came from the kitchen with a plate of sliced oranges, forked a piece and fed it to him: “We reached the chapter where we turned into a piglet.”

    “Oh yes, we haven’t found the apple yet, let’s continue today.”

    As soon as Tachibana Yukito finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

    Do not disturb:

    [I can’t stand it anymore. I have something to tell you. I’m going to choke to death!!!】

    When he looked down at his phone, Ushijima Wakali’s phone also rang.

    Kiyoomi:

    【Ruolijun, are you busy?I’m sorry to bother you, but there’s something that’s been bothering me recently, and I’d like to hear your opinion.It’s not very urgent, just reply to me when you have time.】

    Tachibana Snow Rabbit: “…”

    Ushijima Wakali: “…”

    “Well, my friend suddenly came to see me, and something seems to be wrong.” Tachibana Yukito said, “Shall we fight later?”

    “Yeah, me too.” Ushijima Wakali nodded, “Let’s fight later.”

    The author has something to say:

    [1] is an allusion to the three-dimensional world and has nothing to do with the world of small volleyball.

    Zao and Amber are going to persecute another young couple hahahaha
