Chapter 5 Unexpected Contrast

The heat of summer is accompanied by the upcoming final exams. Even the volleyball boys have to study hard to avoid falling into the abyss of make-up exams and tutoring.

Because once tutoring is needed, it means missing training. The second half of the county competition is coming soon. Training is a very critical part at this stage. No one wants to miss training because of failing.

However, for someone like Haruka Ishikawa who has always been in the top three in her grade, she is still in a very leisurely state.

At this time, Haruka Ishikawa came to her newly discovered treasure bookstore after class. She was going to pick out a few books related to chess.

Kitagawa Daiichi does not have a chess club. She was going to see if there were any books on chess records. She could play chess with herself and study the records.

As the door of the store opened, Haruka Ishikawa stepped into the bookstore.

Walnut solid wood bookshelves, dark retro decoration and dim lights in the store, the moment Haruka Ishikawa stepped in, the smell of ink and simple wood filled her nose.

She smiled and nodded to greet the boss, looking at the various books with clear eyes.

Ishikawa Haruka casually pulled out a book from the middle of the bookshelf, and before she lowered her head to check, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

She raised her eyes at the voice, and through the gap where the book was pulled out from the bookshelf, a pair of blue eyes that were still shining in the dim light were staring straight at her.

Ishikawa Haruka was surprised and whispered: "Kageyama, what a coincidence that we meet here."

Kageyama Tobio curved his eyes: "Yes, I'm here to buy reference books, what about you, senior sister?"

Ishikawa Haruka walked out of the bookshelf and said loudly: "I'm here to pick out some interesting chess books."

The two chatted while choosing the books they needed. When they came to the front counter to check out, Ishikawa Haruka found that Kageyama Tobio had chosen reference books or teaching materials related to learning.

She smiled knowingly: "Kageyama is preparing for the final exams, you shouldn't have any big problems, you don't need to buy so many books." Based on Kageyama's performance during the competition training, his appearance as a top student and his serious and persistent attitude without being good at speaking, she felt that he should be studying well and there was no need to worry too much.

Iikawa Haruka asked while handing the book to the boss. The next second, Iikawa Haruka heard an answer that surprised her.

Kageyama looked down at the pile of books in his arms and answered seriously: "No, I really need these books. Because I am not very good at studying, my classmates suggested that I buy these books to catch up before the exam, otherwise I will fail and have to go to cram school."

Iikawa Haruka opened her red lips in shock and didn't react for several seconds.

Until the bookstore owner reminded her: "Classmate, do you want to pay by card or cash? Classmate, classmate?"

Ikawa Haruka came to her senses and quickly took out a card: "Card."

After she paid the bill, she returned to normal on the surface, but in fact, she looked at Kageyama Tobio from his nose to his eyebrows. She really didn't expect that Kageyama was unexpectedly not good at studying!

She carefully wandered her eyes over him, and finally she concluded: Kageyama's face was too deceptive, it was simply a scam! How could someone have a face full of high intelligence, but turned out to be a poor student!

Ikawa Haruka's eyelashes fluttered gently, she placed her fingers on the books in Kageyama Tobio's arms and opened her lips slightly: "Only these two books are needed."

Although Kageyama Tobio was puzzled, he still did it obediently, and put all the remaining books except the two books that Ikawa Haruka took out back on the bookshelf.

Walking out of the bookstore, Kageyama Tobio hugged the two lonely books in his hands and looked at Ikawa Haruka ignorantly. Ikawa Haruka just stretched out his white and thin hands and spread them in front of him.

Oikawa Haruka waved his hand: "Give me your phone."

Kageyama Tobio, like a little robot, gave a command and moved, fumbled out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Oikawa Haruka.

Oikawa Haruka tapped on the phone: "I am your LINE friend, I will give you my notes tomorrow, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me on the phone."

Kageyama Tobio took the phone, and a rare smile appeared on his face that had never had much expression: "Thank you so much, Oikawa-senpai!"

Oikawa Haruka smiled and accepted his gratitude and asked him to go home early. Kageyama Tobio thanked him again and turned away.

Oikawa looked at the man who merged with the sunset in the sky, and couldn't help but think of his appearance on the court. He really was like a shadow following the sun.

She was not a person who liked to make trouble for herself, but when she thought of the scenes where he was rejected again and again, she couldn't help but want to help him, especially when the person who resisted and rejected him was her brother.

When she thought of Toru who often pretended to be deaf and answered Kageyama's questions in a way that was irrelevant, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Although she knew that Toru was right, Kageyama was not wrong either.

Volleyball was a matter between the two of them, but she could still help him to the best of her ability in learning something that she was particularly good at.

"I'm back." Ikawa Haruka said as he changed his shoes at the entrance.

She walked into the living room, where Ikawa Toru was lying on the sofa watching the volleyball game intently and casually agreed, "Welcome home."

Ikawa Haruka sat diagonally opposite Ikawa Toru, and she could see everything about Ikawa Toru's behavior and demeanor. When

the team on TV lost a point, Ikawa Toru would instantly show his disappointment on his face, his eyebrows would immediately droop and his lips would turn down; when the team on TV won a point, he would immediately raise his hands and cheer, and his body would twist like a twist on the sofa.

Ikawa Haruka looked at such a lively and vivid Ikawa Toru, and couldn't help but silently curl the corners of his lips.

Toru is a very good person, even if he is a little childish or sometimes willful, but he is undoubtedly a good brother, a good captain and a good senior.

She understood his rejection of Kageyama very well. After all, although he resisted Kageyama, he did not hurt him or do anything extreme. On the contrary, it was because of Kageyama's appearance that he was more motivated to move towards the world of genius.

Ikawa Toru found that his sister had been staring at him and smiling for a while. He covered his face and said self-indulgently: "I know I am handsome, but you don't have to keep staring at me~"

Ikawa Haruka was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, handsome guy." She suddenly wanted to know what expression would be on Toru's face if he knew the obstacles he wanted to break through and felt that he was very powerful.

In the evening, Kageyama's family

, Kageyama Tobio was lying on the bed padding the ball. The volleyball was flying at a fixed height in the room. Bang - the volleyball hit Kageyama.

When Kageyama padd the ball, the figures of the Oikawa brothers and sisters always passed in front of him.

Senior Oikawa's clean rejection of him this time, Senior Oikawa's strong serve and block, Senior Oikawa's juice for him to drink, and the help from the bookstore today.

He shook his head, put the volleyball on the floor, and then took out his mobile phone. He looked at the blue and white cloud avatar on the Line contact list, typed and deleted the original note "Senior Oikawa" and re-edited it to "Good Samaritan".

Kageyama Tobio began to prepare for the midterm exam according to Oikawa Haruka's request, and would ask Oikawa Haruka for advice on Line every few days.

Oikawa Haruka asked Kageyama Tobio to leave the Chinese pre-exam handbook and English grammar analysis in the bookstore that day. She lent all her Chinese and English notes to Kageyama, and predicted the question types and range before the exam.

She felt that with all these blessings, Kageyama had to pass, and it was only natural that he not only passed, but also scored high.

When the final results came out, Kageyama not only passed Chinese and English, but also scored more than 80 points. This is simply the highest score Kageyama has ever had since he was a child!

Oikawa Haruka and Chimiya Eureka were walking back to the classroom after lunch. They looked far away and saw a familiar boy standing at the door of their class holding a bunch of grape juice. Chimiya

Eureka squinted her eyes to see who it was: "Haruka, did you see it, there is someone in front holding a bunch of juice."

How could Oikawa Haruka not see it? Two words popped out of her mouth: "Kageyama."

Chimiya Eureka didn't hear clearly, and the blonde mixed-race girl approached Oikawa Haruka: "What?"

Her Japanese was not very good to begin with, and Oikawa Haruka spoke quickly and softly, so she had no idea what she was saying.

Before Chimiya Eureka could concentrate again, Oikawa Haruka walked forward spontaneously.

When Ikawa Haruka saw him like that, she knew that he must be looking for her, because Kageyama Tobio was looking at her eagerly.

"Ikawa-senpai, thanks to you, I passed both English and Chinese and scored more than 80 points!"

Before Ikawa Haruka could say anything, Kageyama Tobio spoke out like a bean. Ikawa

Haruka listened patiently: "Congratulations, but what are you doing...?"

Kageyama Tobio seemed to want to hand all the juice to her: "These are for you, senior, as a thank you gift!"

Ikawa Haruka quickly stepped back a few steps and nimbly took two bottles from them: "Take them back and bring them to the department to drink with everyone."

She shook the two bottles of grape juice in her hand as she spoke: "I have received the thank you gift."

After Ikawa Haruka finished speaking, without waiting for Kageyama Tobio to react, she pulled Chimiya Eureka who was out of state and slipped into the classroom.

Chimiya Eureka leaned against the wall with her arms crossed and said teasingly: "What kind of help has our beautiful and kind-hearted Iikawa given to others?"

Iikawa Haruka looked at her helplessly: "Your Japanese is pretty good now, you just lent your notes to that kid."

The two chatted as if no one was around, but they didn't know that the photo of Kageyama Tobio giving juice to Iikawa Haruka on the forum began to spread like wildfire.

Even Iikawa Toru and Iwaizumi Ichi, who were far away in another building, saw this photo.

Iikawa Haruka thought the forum was boring, so she never looked at it and didn't register an account.

Unlike her, Iikawa Toru is very keen on browsing the forum, because his fan club is highly active in the forum, and he likes to see the photos of him taken by everyone and some compliments on him.

Iikawa Toru originally just wanted to see the recent posts about him, but he didn't expect to see this photo.

He put his phone against Iwaizumi's face and said in an exaggerated tone: "Xiaoyan, look! The damn Xiao Feixiong wants to dig up my cabbage! I'm so mad, ahhhhhhh!"

Now he not only has to be on guard against Xiao Feixiong taking his setter position, but also against him taking his sister!
