Chapter 11: The End of Black Basketball

  Harada smiled and listened to Huang's words, nodding from time to time. But in fact, his ears were ringing loudly, and he could only vaguely know that Huang was speaking, but had no idea what the content was.

  Blinking her eyes, Huang Ze's face was also becoming increasingly indistinct...

  Please give me a little more time, I still have many words that haven't been said to everyone, and I want to take another look at their familiar faces...

  Harada didn't notice that Huang had stopped and was staring at him with a still oblivious smile, nodding.

  Huang Xia's hands trembled as she grabbed his shoulders, her voice filled with an irrepressible panic.

  "Xiao Lv, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, okay?"

  But Harada felt the warmth on his shoulder, however he couldn't hear or see clearly, and could only lift his head in a daze to look at him.

  Huang Jie hastily called a doctor, and after a thorough examination, even the doctor found it unbelievable.

  "Internal organs severely damaged, vision and hearing declining, even with treatment, he won't live past a week."

  Huang Ze's first reaction after hearing the news was not sadness, but confusion.

  How can this be? How is this possible?

  Such a body could not have been produced overnight, and for the past month, he had been enjoying the meticulous care of Yuan Tian, how could he possibly die?

  Was he dragging this worn-out body around for his sake?

  How can he believe and be willing to face...

  Dazedly looking at the youth sitting quietly in the chair, the youth that I had just realized I liked a little while ago, was he really going to die like this?

  No, this is not true!

  He stumbled over and hugged Harada tightly in his arms, with such great force that Harada had some difficulty breathing.

  Just as I had recovered and could return to the arena with you, I was told that you were going to die. Since we are destined to be in hell, let him stay in hell forever. Why tell him that it's just an illusory dream when he thought he had reached heaven?

  You're about to leave me forever at the happiest moment of mine.

  Harada sensed the intense emotions swirling inside Hiyori from the strength of his hug, so he didn't struggle and just stayed still, gently patting his back with a soothing hand.

  The two people embracing each other did not notice that Akatsuki was standing still outside the door, and he had been standing there for a long time.

  The news of Yuan's hospitalization spread quickly, and batches of classmates came to visit him every day, hoping that he would recover soon.

  Yes, due to Harada's request, Kise and Akashi didn't tell anyone that Harada had actually retired from basketball. He would rather not disturb anyone than leave amidst everyone's sorrow.

  In these final moments, Kise and Akashi were always by his side. Even when Origara had completely lost his sight and hearing, he could still feel their presence in the dark and silent world.

  Although he couldn't hear, his sense of touch remained. Kiyohiko and Akashi would slowly write on his palm, one stroke at a time, and if Harada shook his head, they would slow down the speed and write again.

  From this he also learned many things he didn't know before, such as Akutsu peeling apples and Kise being a housekeeper.

  On such days, although Harada couldn't see their faces or hear their voices, the meticulous care they provided made him feel neither fear nor loneliness. Being able to be with them before leaving this world truly brought him happiness.

  On the fifth night, Tokyo welcomed this year's first heavy snowfall.

  And Harada silently left on this evening, those tea-colored eyes would never open again.
