[Black Basket] Light of Shadow

Chapter 33

The morning sun shone into the room through the thick curtains, leaving only a few strands on the floor. The two people in the room were both nestled in the quilt and had no intention of waking up.

In the silent room, there was only the sound of calm breathing, and suddenly, there was an abrupt bell ringing in the room.

"..." A slender hand stretched out from under the quilt and began to grope on the bedside table. When the vibrating mobile phone was held, Baishi half-closed his eyes and a head popped out from under the quilt.

"Hello..." He put the phone to his ear, and found that his voice had a strong nasal sound due to drowsiness. Shiraishi sniffed his nose to make his voice normal. "I'm Shiraishi, who is it?"

"Rods~" A gentle female voice came into Baishi's ears, and there was a sense of joy in that voice, "It's my sister~ Are you still sleeping? I'm sorry to disturb your sleep."

"Sister?" Baishi woke up suddenly, and subconsciously straightened his back, which was his habitual respect for his own sister.He glanced at Qingfeng who was still in a deep sleep, but didn't wake him up.He just quickly got up from the bed, walked towards the bathroom and said, "Well... I'm up, what's the matter, sister?"

"That's it, didn't I tell you yesterday. I want you to take care of Parker and Yuli for me." Shiraishi didn't remember what they discussed last night at all, and Rowling was sure that Shiraishi was still asleep just now up.

My younger brother was in a daze just after waking up, and found that he had woken Shiraishi up, Rowling was a little embarrassed, she would have called later if she had known.

"Oh, I remembered." Shiraishi, who was gradually waking up, remembered the phone call with Rowling the day before.

Rowling has been married for many years, but she and her husband are very busy and often miss important festivals and anniversaries due to work.Today is Valentine's Day, and Rowling and her husband rarely have a free time. Rowling, who hasn't had a decent Valentine's Day for many years, said that even though she is already in her thirties, she still hopes to spend a Valentine's Day alone with her husband. .

The problem is that she has adorable twin sons named Patrick and Ulysses.

These two little guys have just entered the top class of kindergarten, and they are at an age that needs someone to take care of them at any time. If you want to live a world of two, you must arrange the little guys properly.

Although it is a good way to hire a nanny, these two children have their own eccentric tempers, and they cannot be controlled by people who are not familiar with them.

Shiraishi doesn't like to celebrate Valentine's Day. He thought about the scene where he and Qingfeng watched a movie holding hands and felt uncomfortable. What is that?So he recommended himself to be the one-day guardian of his little nephew.

Almost an hour after hanging up the phone, Baishi heard the doorbell ring. He opened the door with leisurely steps, and before he saw anyone, he heard a childish voice full of vigor shouting "Hello, Uncle!"

Bai Shi lowered his gaze slightly, and saw a white and tender child standing in front of him.The child was wearing a pair of black leather boots, jeans, and a plaid shirt in a cashmere vest.

The child had a very hearty smile on his face, he raised his head and was looking at Baishi, his big eyes were full of anticipation, "Uncle~ Where shall we go to play today?"

"Parker, wait first." Baishi grabbed Patrick who was going into the room, stretched out his head and looked behind him, and found that there was no one behind him. Baishi felt a little headache for a moment, and asked, "Where is your brother?"

"Huh?" Patrick showed a surprised expression, and he muttered "I was still behind just now~" while looking back.

After realizing that there was no one behind him, Patrick's expression froze suddenly.He ran back a few steps, but found that he still didn't see his younger brother. He anxiously ran towards Baishi and explained, "He was just behind, uncle."

At this moment, in the direction with Parker's back turned, Shiraishi saw a child walking slowly from the elevator, wearing the same light-colored clothing as Patrick. The little white leather boots and furry vest looked very cute, but the child's face The cold expression on the face doesn't match this style at all.

Obviously the two children have exactly the same face, but this child will never be confused with Parker.Unlike Parker who always laughed and laughed, this child had no expression on his face. He was obviously a big kid, but he had an indifferent and leisurely demeanor all over his body.

"Hello, Uncle." Ulysses greeted Shiraishi politely, and then stopped talking.

"Come in." Shiraishi led Ulysses into the room, as for the other child.Baishi looked at the pair of small leather boots that were thrown away by the owner almost as far as a Milky Way. The child seemed to be more lively when he saw it some time ago. At this moment, an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

"Uncle, where's Uncle Qingfeng?" Parker sat on the sofa with a smile on his face, his two short legs swaying as if rhythmically.

"sleeping."

"Ah... Father Sun's butt is being patted, and Uncle Qingfeng can't get up yet. He's better at staying in bed than me, and my mother said that people who stay in bed will have nothing to eat in the future."

"Well, so he can't have breakfast."

"Honey, have you cooked yet?" Qingfeng woke up from starvation, he rubbed his hungry stomach that was about to growl and looked for Baishi, "I'm so hungry, I'm going to starve to death!"

"..." Hearing Qingfeng's words, Baishi immediately became upset. He felt convulsed when he got up early in the morning, and he dared to call himself "wife", didn't he wake up, you idiot.

"Uncle Qingfeng, shame, who told you not to get up so late, people who stay in bed have no food to eat." Hearing Qingfeng's voice, Parker, who had been resting for a while, got off the sofa as if his legs were spring-loaded. Jumping up, he ran towards Qingfeng in a desperate manner.

"?!" Qingfeng looked at Parker bouncing up and down in front of him, his pale golden hair glistening in the sun. Impatient "Why are you here, kid?"

"Haha, mom sent us here." Parker held Qingfeng's hand very affectionately, and showed him a brilliant smile. "Today, uncle is going to take us out to play."

"You?" Qingfeng thought about the "we" that Parker said.

"And Yuli." Parker pointed to the living room. At this time, Ulysses appeared at the corner as if he had agreed with Parker. He was not as clingy as Patrick, who always rubbed against others, standing upright Yuli, who was standing upright with a small body, appeared in Qingfeng's sight.

"Hello, Uncle..." Ulysses still greeted politely.

"Oh, Yuli is good." Qingfeng stepped forward and patted Yuli's head, his hair was as soft as it looked.Compared with the noisy Patrick, Ulysses, who was always quiet and similar in temperament to Shiraishi, was obviously more pleasing to him.

"You're here." Followed by two little tails, Qingfeng walked into the living room and looked at Baishi who was leisurely sitting on the sofa and started drinking tea, and complained dissatisfied, "Why didn't you call these two little devils sooner?" I?"

"You sleep so dead who can wake you up."

"Are you angry?" Years of getting along made it easy for Qingfeng to notice the subtle changes on Shiraishi's seemingly paralyzed face. He expressed his doubts, "Why are you angry?"

"..." Why did you say you were angry?I am a wife?You are the wife!Wasn't the third chapter of the Agreement prohibiting the use of the title "wife" some time ago? !You definitely don't have a long memory, right? Now you call me wife in front of my nephew, how can I see people in the future, bastard!

"Who told Uncle that you wake up so late, Uncle must be worried about your future." Parker jumped out from behind Qingfeng, and jumped onto the sofa in a few strokes, leaning on Baishi's back limply like an invertebrate "Uncle, don't be angry, we won't take Uncle Qingfeng to play today, let him clean the room!"

"Little devil, sit down for me." Qingfeng grabbed Parker off Baishi's body without a word.

"Hmph~" Parker hummed a few times in dissatisfaction when they were forced to break up.

"Brother, your candy fell." At this time, Yuli stood aside and calmly watched the colorful candies constantly popping out of his stupid brother's pocket, and he didn't remind him until all the candies rolled to the ground.

"Really?!" Hearing his younger brother's voice, Parker looked down and saw a handful of colorful candies lying pitifully on the floor. He screamed as if he had dropped the most precious treasure in the world, "Wow ! My candy!"

"Okay, just pick it up slowly." Baishi looked at Parker, who threw himself on the ground and messed up the candy more and more. A feeling of powerlessness rushed over his face. This little guy's level of trouble is really as fast as riding a rocket. Rapidly improving.He glanced at Qingfeng who was sitting on the sofa as if he had nothing to do with him, and snorted coldly, "Qingfeng, you are so free ~ stop sitting, come and pick it up together."

It is not a good thing for Shiraishi to change his tone of voice. Qingfeng, who has been with Shiraishi for many years, knows this very well, so he sat down on the floor next to Shiraishi honestly, and then weakly picked up the beautifully packaged candies on the floor , He hasn't eaten yet, okay?

Looking at Parker, who was almost rolling all over the ground with his butt pouted, Qingfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore and picked up Parker who was in front of him, and easily threw the little guy onto the sofa.His patience is not good, and he will get angry after a few minutes when dealing with children who love tossing. He warned, "Parker, sit back on the sofa for me and don't move."

Parker looked at Aomine's sharp eyes, the kind of eyes that would make him shiver even if an adult saw him, he shrank his neck, felt a little wronged for a moment, and sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed honestly and stopped talking.But there were tears in his eyes, and he bit his lower lip, showing the tenacity of not crying out despite all the grievances in the world.

"Uncle Qingfeng, Parker is going to cry." Yuli poked Qingfeng, pointed at Parker and said.

"..." Qingfeng and Baishi just raised their heads, before they had time to speak, they heard Parker protest loudly, "I didn't cry!"

Even though his eye sockets were as red as a tomato, and the glistening tears were hanging from the corners of his eyes, Parker still felt that he should show his pure man side, a pure man would not cry.

"Okay, okay, there's nothing to cry about." Shiraishi put the picked up candies into Parker's hands, "I picked up all the candies."

"..." Uncle, isn't that the key to his crying, Yuli complained inwardly.

"I said I didn't cry anymore!" Parker rubbed his eyes, trying to wipe away the tears, trying to cover up his cowardly appearance that was about to cry just now.

"Well, you didn't cry." Baishi said helplessly, "Is that right, Qingfeng."

It's none of my business, I really don't want to get close to this little guy's problem.However, because of Shiraishi's cold gaze and Parker's pitiful puppy appearance, Qingfeng still said against his will, "Well, you didn't cry."

After hearing Shiraishi and Qingfeng's words, Parker smiled slightly.

"Brother, hurry up and put the candy away, uncle said he would take us to the amusement park." At this moment, Yuli said suddenly.

"Really?!" Parker turned around and asked in surprise, his big green eyes sparkled with excitement and unbelievable light.The light shone like the sun shining into the room, illuminating the room at once.Parker's idea of ​​going to the amusement park is quite clear, just like someone who has been hungry for months and saw a big meal. How much does he like the amusement park to be so excited.

Shiraishi and Qingfeng couldn't refuse that kind of anticipation and excitement.Even if they never said that at all.But letting a child down is really a cruel thing.

So, after getting Shiraishi's affirmative answer, Parker drove Yuli around for a while, singing and dancing in the room excitedly.

Qingfeng was asked by Shiraishi to go with him, so he scratched his hair speechlessly, went into the room to wash and change clothes.

"Let's go~~~" Parker smiled and pulled Yuli to open the door. The pace of running and jumping made Yuli, who had always been slow, couldn't keep up.

"You really want to take them to the amusement park?" Qingfeng couldn't believe it when he watched Baishi lock the door.Like himself, Shiraishi didn't particularly like children or crowded places. He actually agreed to Parker to go to the amusement park, which was not at all like Shiraishi who usually followed his own ideas.

"Otherwise?" Baishi looked at Qingfeng with raised eyebrows, and replied flatly, "That's my sister's son."

Damn, your sister is really omnipotent than anyone else!Qingfeng felt that his status was seriously threatened.He grabbed Baishi's hand and asked, "Then you can go play with me after accompanying those two little guys."

"Who knows when my sister will pick them up." Baishi withdrew his hand, "Speaking of which, what did you call me when you got up early in the morning?"

"?"

"I've already said that the word wife is forbidden."

"Ah, you were angry about this in the morning?" Qingfeng thought it was nothing, it was just a nickname, thinking that Baishi was not a small-hearted person, he wondered, "Are you really angry about this kind of thing?"

"Mr. Qingfeng, you really don't have a long memory at all. This is related to my dignity as a man." Baishi said seriously, with a serious expression as if some meeting was about to be held, "Even if we are together, I am in a weaker position." , but I am not a woman, and my wife's words are an insult to me."

"I'm sleepy. You haven't heard of nicknames. I didn't mean to belittle you. Don't be too sensitive." Qingfeng expressed his helplessness. He remembered that Baishi told him not to call him "wife". At first, he regretted calling Shiraishi "wife" in a daze.He swears that he has no information suggesting that Shiraishi is weak.But since the incident in high school, Shiraishi has been particularly disgusted with this kind of feminine title.

Because he has experienced various things, Shiraishi often wears a sharp coat like a hedgehog to wrap his overly fragile and sensitive heart.After being with Shiraishi for a long time, the carefree Qingfeng gradually began to notice and understand Shiraishi's overly sensitive nerves and stubborn temper.

For him, Shiraishi is an existence as important as a relative.

"Apologize." Shiraishi walked straight forward without even looking at Qingfeng.

"..." The corners of Qingfeng's eyes twitched, Baishi's temper was still as stubborn as a rock, he felt that he had really lost all his old face, so he apologized with "Okay, I was wrong."

For Qingfeng, apologizing is actually more uncomfortable than beating him up.

But to him, Baishi is an existence as important as a family member. Even if he doesn't say anything, he always has an unimaginable tolerance and pampering towards Baishi.

"Uncle, hurry up, the elevator is coming up!!!" Parker's voice came from the corridor at this time, and the little guy was standing in the elevator with a smile and waving to them.

Qingfeng discovered that today is Valentine's Day through the advertisements on the street when he went out. He glanced at Baishi who was watching everything on the street calmly, and knew that he was going to completely ignore this Valentine's Day like in previous years.

When I came to the entrance of the amusement park, it was obviously Valentine's Day, but the bustling scenes of people coming and going in the amusement park seemed to be Children's Day, which made people feel as if all the people here were full of beautiful childlike innocence.

"Wooah~~" As soon as he entered the gate of the amusement park, Parker yelled loudly, "Yuli Yuli, look, that bear is walking!"

Yuli, Shiraishi, and Qingfeng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a person in a white bear costume playing with children with balloons.

Think it's true?Aomine glanced at the excited Parker and felt a little helpless. The world of children is so simple that it makes people feel stupid.

"Parker, don't run so fast." Baishi held Parker, who was about to fly out like an arrow, and held down his shoulder to control the restless child. "We have to plan to play, you guys What do you want to play now?"

"...I want to play a haunted house." Parker looked around to find his favorite from these various entertainment devices, so he couldn't make a decision for a long time.On the contrary, Yuli, who had been pulling the corner of Baishi's clothes and followed him closely without speaking, expressed his opinion first.

"Haunted house?" Shiraishi and Qingfeng were taken aback at the same time, does a child of this age actually want to play in a haunted house?

"Haunted house!" It was Parker who uttered this word in different tones from Shiraishi and the others. He seemed to have unlimited energy at any time, was full of vigor at any time, and was full of curiosity and excitement about everything around him at any time.He cheered "I'm going, I'm going~"

"You kid will be scared when you go." Qingfeng took Parker, who was about to lose control, into his arms, "Go and play something else!"

"Uncle Qingfeng is afraid. Uncle Qingfeng dare not take us in because he is afraid." Parker still twisted restlessly in Qingfeng's arms.

After hearing Parker's words, Qingfeng was speechless for a while, and he said to Baishi, "I really don't match up with this brat."

"Let's not talk about whether you want to go or not, even if you are of your age, you can't enter the haunted house." When Parker and Qingfeng were quarreling, Baishi said calmly.Parker froze in Qingfeng's arms after hearing this for a moment: So I don't even have the qualifications to enter a haunted house?What a broken rule!

"Ah... Is that so? That's such a pity." Yuli's expression didn't change, but anyone could see his loss.

In the end, it was up to Shiraishi to decide what they would play.

Even though it was stipulated what could and could not be played, as children who thought they knew a lot but actually knew nothing, Parker and Yuli still had a great time.

"Ah... I'm so exhausted!" It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the two little guys were sent away, Qingfeng fell down on the sofa and let out a sigh of emotion, taking care of children is more tiring than playing ball.

Baishi sat next to Qingfeng, not showing any signs of fatigue on the surface.He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, casually changing channels.Suddenly his hands stopped, and his eyes were glued to the running people on the TV, "Qingfeng, do you want to watch the football game?"

"..." Qingfeng half-closed his eyes and looked at the TV, and said lazily, "Isn't this something I've seen before?"

"It's a replay." Baishi said, his eyes still did not leave the TV.

"Hey!" Qingfeng kicked Shiraishi's calf, trying to make him turn his attention to himself.

"What are you doing?" Shiraishi moved his position so that he was a little far away from Qingfeng, he didn't want Qingfeng to disturb him watching the football game.

Qingfeng frowned, and found that Shiraishi was still staring at the TV without any intention of taking himself seriously.He sat a little closer to Shiraishi's direction, leaned into his ear and reminded, "Today is Valentine's Day."

His voice was deep and hoarse with mature charm.

"I know." Hearing the voice, Baishi said indifferently, he turned his head slightly and asked, "So?"

"..." Qingfeng didn't say a word, is it possible to let him talk about what he should do on Valentine's Day? !

Seeing that Qingfeng didn't speak, Shiraishi turned his head to watch the TV again, just patted Qingfeng with his hand and shouted, "Qingfeng, look at this is amazing."

The moment Qingfeng was hit by Shiraishi on his thigh, he felt a little desolate. He was sure that Shiraishi's hit on his thigh was not a hint but just a handy thing.He said that it is really sad that his lover is so ignorant of taste.

"When shall we try?" Bai Shiyan turned his head to look at Qingfeng at this moment. Although the corners of his mouth were only slightly raised, Qingfeng saw the satisfied smile on his face. Bai Shiyan is the easiest way to get happiness in basketball. It feels like this is the same as Aomine.

"When I was watching the live broadcast, I wanted to say, I'm going to use this trick to beat you." Baishi's eyes were full of smiles, he raised his chin, revealing the graceful curve of his neck, and said in a provocative tone, "Qingfeng, you Can you stop it?"

"Who do you think I am?" Qingfeng put his big palm on Baishi's head like holding down a child's head, and rubbed it gently.He has had this habit since middle school, and until now they are in their twenties and have become members of the vast society. This intimate gesture has not changed like it did when they were teenagers.

"I won't lose." Qingfeng responded without admitting defeat. The way the two of them get along is not so much a same-sex lover, but a lifelong confidant who understands each other and a partner who only has each other.

Maybe for many gay people "sex" is a very important part, and for many others gay people seem to bond only because of "sex".Although this kind of need is very strong for strong and energetic young people like Qingfeng, when they calm down and watch basketball, think about basketball, and play basketball.That kind of thing can really be ignored, forgotten in the back of your mind.It's like having a favorite thing in front of you, no one will choose another thing that will only make you happy for a while.

As for Qingfeng and Shiraishi, they chose to be together because they have a common love for basketball, and their appreciation and dependence on each other is irreplaceable.It's not an earth-shattering love story when they come together. It's probably like choosing a relative and close friend who will accompany you through your life.I don't want anyone else involved, just the two of them.

For Aomine and Shiraishi's Valentine's Day, it might be more in line with their personalities to stay at home and watch NBA games together.

There are no delicate and fragrant roses, no touching movies, no elegant music, no high-end candlelight dinners... But, this is their Valentine's Day that is so simple and applicable to each other.

The author has something to say: I’m back, I’m definitely not feeling well when I’m sick, at least I kicked out the Valentine’s Day episode

The portion is very generous!

By the way, there are actually a little spoilers here~
