Changle fell in love at first sight with the energetic, brown-haired boy on the basketball court.
So she kept riding the train to Shohoku High School, just to catch a glimpse of him after practice.
Secret crushes are sweet and delicate...
Until a gang of delinquents blocked her way to the station she was heading to.
They blew foul-smelling smoke rings in her face and told her to come have some fun with them.
Just as she froze in fear, the brown-haired boy and his teammates stepped in front of her...
The delinquents fled in a panic. He turned around and smiled at her.
At last, Changle heard his voice. It was just as gentle as she'd imagined.
"Are you okay?"
"I see you around a lot. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Changle stared at him for a long moment, then answered timidly but honestly.
"I... I like you."
The boy blushed in the sunset, while the teammates behind him burst into laughter.
P.S.:
1. This is an IF storyline for The Romance Between an Unknown Actress and a Barista. The high school and college years of Yuan Changle are exactly the same in both stories.
They're just scattered memories in The Romance Between an Unknown Actress and a Barista, while this story tells the whole thing from start to finish.
So if you haven't read that story, you can treat this as a completely new one. If you have, consider it a bonus story!
2. This story has a happy ending and takes place only in the Slam Dunk universe. It includes some tennis characters, but no Detective Conan! No Detective Conan!
So Fujima and Changle get a second-chance romance. Think of it as a parallel world!
3. Under 100,000 words.
Theme: Love makes people brave.
