Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

"I'm certainly jealous of your talent and I hate your casual attitude towards volleyball. But I'm also happy to have a strong opponent... or teammate. When you go to high school, I'll finally be able to see the same scenery as you."

Oikawa Toru tightened his grip on the boy's collar, his eyes flushed with anger. "But what did you do? You quit after winning the championship. Are you afraid of being defeated by us?"

Compared to the tall mountain that stood in his way - Ushijima Wakari of Shiratorizawa, Mori Yinli made Oikawa Toru even more angry.

He never took Oikawa Tooru seriously.

It seemed as if to say that they were not qualified to be Sen Yinli's opponent.

Such arrogance is really disgusting!

Yin Li found his accusation unreasonable. "Does it matter to you whether I play volleyball or not?"

Unexpectedly, Oikawa Toru said confidently, "It's very important."

Yin Li looked at Oikawa Tetsu and suddenly recalled the scene when he won the championship. His cobalt blue eyes were as deep as a cold pond. "You know how the loser feels, right?"

Oikawa Toru's veins jumped. This kid really deserves a beating for his words!

Yin Li ignored his angry expression and continued, "I didn't feel the joy of being a winner, but I cruelly deprived you of your dream. Don't you think people like me are hateful?"

When he stood on the national stage and won the championship in the junior high school comprehensive sports competition, he felt neither the joy of a winner nor the sadness of a loser.

He doesn't belong in this arena.

Since when did victory become a matter of course?

Like Alexander the Great, he lamented that there were no new worlds to conquer.

After hearing these remarks, Oikawa Toru suddenly grinned, and headbutted Yin Li, causing him to grimace in dismay. Yin Li couldn't help but cover her forehead.

Hiss, this guy is so stubborn. Oikawa Toru rubbed his forehead and continued to lecture him.

"Volleyball is a competitive game, not a competition of passion. If you have the ability, you deserve to win the championship. Although you are indeed abominable!"

"It would be naive to think that everyone who participates in the competition loves volleyball."

"In the competition, there are many people who think that the volleyball club is just a club activity, or want to use it as a tool for further studies or employment."

Oikawa Toru curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled maliciously. He gave up volleyball for such a reason. The guy in front of him was unexpectedly pure. He was indeed a hypocrite.

"Of course I know." Yin Li slapped away Oikawa Toru's hand that was gripping his collar, "Senior Oikawa, please get up from me."

Passersby who got up early were already looking at them sideways, probably thinking they were bad boys fighting, holding up their cell phones, ready to call the police.

"Okay~" Oikawa Toru stood up from him. He was driven by anger just now and didn't notice the coldness on his body. Now that he calmed down, the coldness ran through his body.

He stamped his feet and began to pace in place to warm himself up. "Why did you join the volleyball club in the first place?"

Yin Li stood up from the ground and brushed off the dirt on her body. "Because my friend said the volleyball club was short of people, I joined."

Oikawa Toru muttered, looking at the boy with scrutiny, "How could the Kosen Junior High School volleyball team be short of players? Were you being tricked?"

Yin Li glanced sideways. What was there about him that was so deceptive?

"Xiao Li-chan is so easy to fool?" Oikawa Toru said with a frivolous smile on his face, "Hey, Qingcheng is also short of people, why don't you join us~"

"No." The boy turned around and ran towards home.

Volleyball Stage 5

April is the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Yin Li changed into his new school uniform and picked up his bag. He had already memorized the speech for the freshman representative by heart.

"Hey, Xiaoli, do you want mom to go with you?"

"No, the new school isn't far away, and you still have to go to work."

Yin Li declined her mother's request to go with her and went out alone.

The breeze blew the falling cherry blossoms into dance in the air. After crossing two streets, you can see the gate of the new school.

The boy carried his schoolbag, ignored the sidelong glances of passers-by, and walked intently on his own path.

Hinata Shoyo should have reported to Karasuno by now.

Thinking of the boy happily telling her that he was admitted to Wuye as his first choice, Yin Li couldn't help but be infected by his joy.

The volleyball idiot finally took the first step.

"Found it~" Oikawa Toru put his arm around the boy's neck, "Just as Auntie said, he's in the west of Aoba Castle. Xiaoli-chan really doesn't mean what he says."

Yin Li staggered after being bumped by him and deviated from his path. The boy reluctantly pulled down his hand and said, "Senior Oikawa, are we familiar with each other?"

"That's too much. We are children after all."

As Oikawa Toru said this, he wanted to put his arm around his shoulders again to disgust him.

It's really fun to see this hypocritical guy having a headache.

Iwaizumi looked around at the girls staring at Oikawa Tooru and stepped in to defend Yin Li, "Alright, Oikawa, let him go. It's really embarrassing."

Oikawa Toru followed his gaze and waved to the girls, "Hi!"

Immediately received excited feedback from the girls.

"Hey, Iwa-chan, you're just jealous that I have girls who like me, right?"

Yin Li turned his head to avoid Yan Quanyi's roar.

It was rare for him to see such a noisy scene.

The boy left the two fighting people behind and went to attend the freshman opening ceremony first.

"Xiao Li, I'll come find you later~"

Hearing the voice behind him, Yin Li waved his hand, not knowing whether he agreed or refused.

Yin Li followed the freshmen to the school auditorium.

After attending the opening ceremony, Yin Li was blocked by Oikawa Toru and Iwaizumi as soon as he came out of the auditorium.

Oikawa Toru gave a thumbs up, "I just listened to Xiaoli-chan's speech. It was really amazing, the freshman representative."

"Thank you." Yin Limu responded politely, but he didn't really want to be praised.

Oikawa Toru and Yin Li, two of the Ikemyuns, stood at the entrance of the auditorium, causing the girls walking at the entrance to slow down their pace involuntarily, and slowly the crowd began to become congested.

The dean of studies had no choice but to yell at the two of them, "You two, stop blocking the door!"

"Okay~" Oikawa Toru made a playful face. It wasn't his fault that he was too popular. Then he pulled Yin Li over and hugged him warmly, "Let's go to the volleyball club."

Yin Li stopped and said, "I never promised to join the volleyball club."

"Huh?" Iwaizumi stopped and looked at Oikawa Tooru suspiciously.

Oikawa Tetsuya stopped and looked at Yin Li with a puzzled look on his face, "Huh?"

Iwaizumi's fist hardened, "Oikawa, what are you doing?!"

"Wait a minute, Iwa-chan!" Oikawa Toru quickly ran behind Yin Li to avoid Iwaizumi's punch. "What are you doing? Didn't you come to Qingcheng? Doesn't this count as agreeing to me?"

Yin Li shook his head and looked at Oikawa Toru calmly, "Enrolling in Qingcheng and joining the volleyball team are two different things, right?"

"Why do you want to enroll in Qingcheng?" Ishikawa Toru blinked. He saw Yin Li's hesitation, but he really didn't know what was worth the young man's hesitation.

Yin Li pondered for a moment and used a more euphemistic approach, "Because Shiratorizawa's purple school uniform...is not very good-looking."

Oikawa Tooru was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Pfft! Hahahaha! Did you hear that? Iwa-chan, someone actually gave up on enrolling in Shiratorizawa just for this reason?"

"Ah, I heard it." Iwaizumi Ichi also covered his face helplessly, but he had long known that in some ways, Yin Li was a willful guy like Oikawa Toru, and he was not surprised at all.

"You only considered Shiratorizawa and Qingcheng? So, Shiratorizawa sent you a special recruitment invitation?" Oikawa Toru put his hands on the boy's shoulders and looked at him seriously.

Yin Li nodded.

Oikawa Toru immediately beamed, "Yeah, that's great! Let's form a united front to fight against Shiratorizawa. We'll definitely be able to defeat them this year."

"Hey, hey!" Iwaizumi felt a little headache when he saw the overjoyed Oikawa Toru.

Oikawa Toru has been unusually excited lately, and even Iwaizumi can't hold him back.

However, Iwaizumi Ichi was not completely unable to understand Oikawa Toru's excitement. From junior high school to high school, in five years, they had never defeated Shiratorizawa.

This year is the last year, and they are eager to have stronger forces joining them.

"Oh, I forgot about Iwa-chan, that means there are three people." Oikawa Toru happily raised three fingers.

"I..." Yin Li was interrupted by Toru Oikawa before he could finish his words.

Oikawa Toru smiled threateningly, "Oikawa-senpai has begged you so humbly, if you dare to refuse I will definitely make you suffer."

The frivolous setter put away his smile and pointed at Yin Li seriously, "Don't tell me you didn't join Qingcheng for the volleyball club. If you dare to look down on volleyball again, I will make you pay. I won't forgive you for You Xunran's sake."

"I'll give you a day to think about it. If you don't give me an answer after one day, I'll go to your house and block you off." After saying that, Toru Oikawa turned around and left.

Only Yan Quanyi and Yin Li were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at the boy standing there in silence as if being punished, Iwaizumi sighed helplessly, "What are you hesitating about?"

Yin Li seemed to be deflated in front of Yan Quan, and no longer had those persistence. "That's the problem. I don't know what I'm hesitating about."

The two sat down on a bench on campus, and Yanquan picked up the black tea that rolled out of the vending machine and handed it to Yin Li.

"Why did you give up volleyball?"

Yin Li took the tea and sat down on the bench properly. "Because I don't want to see the loser cry, don't you think it's ironic that someone like me won the game?"

"Because you don't like volleyball?" Iwaizumi's words hit the nail on the head. "You say you don't like it, but rather you say you don't care?"

"Well. Isn't this very unfair?" The boy stared blankly at the black tea package in his hand.

Yan Quan stared at the boy's black hair. Such a genius actually considered fairness. This guy Yin Li surprised him again. Was his empathy a little too strong? How could a winner empathize with a loser?

But he didn't push it any further. He changed the subject and asked, "Are you not joining the volleyball club because you don't want to experience that feeling again?"

"That's about right. Joining the volleyball club doesn't make sense to me. Why should I join the volleyball club?" Yin Li unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of red tea.

It’s okay to join or not to join. The two options are equally good or bad, so he is entangled and hesitant. The boy has not yet understood his own heart.

He came to Aoba Castle West and found a retreat for himself, extending the time for choice. He was escaping briefly, and Aoba Castle West could make him hesitate, but the tough Shiratorizawa could not.

If Toru Oikawa knew this thought, he would definitely be angry again, the boy thought aimlessly.

"So, aren't the five years between Oikawa and I meaningless?" Iwaizumi's dry voice sounded.
