Kuroko's Basketball: Akashi BG, Early Summer (Original Version)

This is a lighthearted, funny story about Chu Xia. The original version has a simpler writing style and more content, while the new version is more serious. QAQ The heroine is a foodie, adorably clueless, and easy to win over. Chi Si is stern and ridiculously hard to win over! But they were both once deeply in love with basketball... At last, Chi Si spoke. "Then why don't you sign up for the basketball club?" He could have simply said, "You have to sign up for the basketball club. You'll end up on the first string anyway." But he still wanted to see the idiot's expression. Xia Li's face twisted horribly. "Why should I sign up?" "Answer my question directly." Xia Li knew her own limits. With that stupid brain of hers, she could think about it for the rest of her life and still not figure out what Chi Si was up to, so she answered honestly. "I can't shoot baskets." "You don't need to shoot." "If they catch my passes... they'll kick me out..." Chi Si had already seen what Xia Li was capable of, and his voice suddenly grew unusually gentle. "They won't." "But..." It wasn't that Xia Li didn't want to join the basketball team. She just didn't want to be hated by someone again, or hurt anyone. "Have you forgotten? You still owe me a favor from the autumn trip." Xia Li was incredibly slow on the uptake, but she finally caught on: the favor that had gotten her into the car. "I want you to join the basketball team. The first string." I always thought she was the child who had been by my side throughout my childhood. Until that person appeared. Theme:
