AFTER A LONG WHILE—

"Why did you run?" Kageyama Tobio looked at Kobayashi Aotori with suspicion. The latter, caught in the act, cleared his throat and pretended calmly, "What? Did I run? No, you must be mistaken."

Hearing Kobayashi Aotori's evasive response, Kageyama harbored some doubts in his heart, but he didn't have the intention of delving deeper.

After all, compared to Kobayashi Aotori's matters, he was more concerned about the upcoming match against Aoba Johsai.

Seeing Kageyama Tobio's troubled expression, Kobayashi Aotori raised an eyebrow slightly. The summer night was very cool, and his navy-blue short hair fluttered in the wind. He squinted comfortably.

After a while, a hoarse teenage voice broke the silence of the night,

"Are you worried about tomorrow's match?"

Kageyama was slightly stunned. When he turned back, he saw Kobayashi Aotori's relaxed profile.

He slightly frowned, lowered his head, not knowing that at this moment, his face was full of concerns.

With a light laugh, Kobayashi Aotori put one hand in his pocket and walked leisurely beside Kageyama Tobio. He realized that Kageyama hadn't seen that absurd gossip news and unexpectedly had other worries.

"...By the way. I heard that you made your opponents from the Ohgiminami High cry today?"

Kobayashi Aotori's expression stiffened. His brain malfunctioned for a second, quickly calculating what the other meant by "made cry."

"Hey hey... don't make me sound like some kind of bully." Kobayashi Aotori's voice carried helplessness, and the scorching gaze from his profile seemed to speak volumes.

He cleared his throat, "What crying? I left the court as soon as the game was over, I'm completely clueless."

Kageyama Tobio, carrying his bag with one hand, stood slightly shorter than Kobayashi Aotori on his side. He let out a leisurely voice:

"Is that so? I saw it in today's update of Miyagi Volleyball Gossip News."

Hearing this familiar publication name, Kobayashi Aotori's breath stagnated.

So, he had already read that news?!

He thought he sneakily glanced at Kageyama, unaware that to onlookers, this glance carried a bit of amusement and absurdity.

"Tch." Not seeing the expected reaction, Kageyama Tobio pursed his lips.

Daichi and Sugawara-senpai are actually sneaking around, unaware that I have already seen that article.

Although he didn't see a change in Kobayashi Aotori's expression, Kageyama still slightly raised his head and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "In the picture on that page, you were looking at me with a face full of 'disdain.'"
