Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 371 Fox Tail
On the other side, Long Yuan was walking on the way to the playground. The participating athletes were doing warm-up exercises on the playground. Long Yuan was not in a hurry and strolled slowly on the road. Rihe had not sent a message to Long Yuan until now, which meant that it was still a long time before the scheduled competition time.

I took a short detour to go to the teaching building to use the toilet. Although there was a toilet on the other side of the playground, as you can imagine, there would be a lot of people there.

The process of flushing the toilet was a bit long, but when he went out, he just happened to run into Jiye coming out of the women's restroom. They washed their hands side by side. Ryuuen didn't think he was very familiar with Jiye, so he didn't plan to say hello.

However, after washing her hands, Jiye Xue kept staring at herself. Compared to Jiye using a tissue to wipe the water off her hands, Long Yuan's method was much simpler. Shaking his hands at a high frequency could achieve the same effect while saving tissues, which was green and environmentally friendly.

But the water splashed freely onto Himeno's face. After all, the distance between them was too close, and it couldn't be entirely blamed on Ryuen that Himeno was within the attack range.

"Rude!"

Ryuen accepted Himeno's comment calmly: "I'm really sorry."

Ji Ye didn't expect that Ryuen would apologize so simply, and she was unable to continue the conversation.

Ryuen is not that bored. Meeting Himeno was just a coincidence, but it was obvious that Himeno wanted to say something to Ryuen, but Ryuen didn't want to listen, so he planned to leave directly.

"Eat candy?"

Ryuuen sneered, he had no interest in Himeno in the first place, she was just a poor imitator of himself, and she also took away Ichinose's throne in the class, although Ichinose's position would not be stable without her.

"eat."

Ji Ye took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Ryuen, then took out another one and put it in his mouth.

Leaning against the window of the teaching building, it is some distance away from the playground, but you can see what is happening on the playground.

Opening the window, Long Yuan put the lollipop into his mouth. It tasted like grapes. He hadn't eaten a lollipop for a long time, and the sweetness of this pigment was really rare.

The sweetness spread on the tip of the tongue, dyeing it purple. It took some time to melt the lollipop, but Long Yuan didn't have the time to wait for it to melt slowly. Kashi, Kashi, the lollipop broke.

The chewing sound attracted Ji Ye's attention: "Is it not delicious?"

"It's okay, not annoying. You probably have something to ask me, so for the sake of this lollipop, just tell me. I'll tell you if I'm in a good mood."

Originally, Ji Ye's eyes were shining, thinking that he could get some answer from Ryuen, but Ryuen's statement was too cunning. If he answered when he was in a good mood, wouldn't that mean he wouldn't say anything when he was in a bad mood? Whether he was in a good mood or not was entirely up to Ryuen himself.

"How are you feeling now? Sweets can make you feel better. I have other flavors of lollipops here."

As he spoke, Jiye took out all his lollipops from his pocket. They were orange, watermelon, strawberry flavored, and in different colors.

"Do you treat me like a child? But I'm in a good mood now."

Ryuuen took all the lollipops from Himeno's hand. He didn't want to eat them anymore, but he could share them with Hiyori and the others.

"Do you think I did something wrong?" Ji Ye was confused. Up to now, although he had been working hard for the class, the harder he worked, the more he doubted whether what he did was really right.

My behavior is not recognized by my classmates. They used to support Ichinose, but now they support Kanzaki. Then what does what I have done really matter? Just like now, at the sports festival, Kanzaki has only arranged some unimportant matches for me.

"You're looking to me for answers. It seems like you're isolated and helpless in your class. In other words, you don't have any friends you can confide in."

With Ji Ye's personality, he was just a marginal figure in the class before, just following the atmosphere around him. Although he could talk to others, he didn't have anyone who could be considered a friend.

In a sense, she is a lower-profile version of Horikita, but she is more tactful than Horikita, and her abilities are far inferior to Horikita.

Her personality is like Horikita, and her behavior patterns imitate Ryuuen. Ryuuen couldn't help wondering if his and Horikita's daughter would look like Himeno, but Ryuuen quickly shook his head, thinking that his daughter would not be a problem child.

"You don't have to answer me, but there's no need to mock me like this."

Jiye bit off the lollipop in his mouth, and the chewing sound expressed Jiye's dissatisfaction.

"If you take the facts I said as sarcasm, then your psychological endurance is really weak. If it were Horikita, she would definitely fight back and say that Ryuen has no friends either. If it were Sakayanagi, she would say that she doesn't need friends. If it were Ichinose, she would say that everyone in the class is her friend, as well as those in the grade and many people in the school are her friends."

Ryuen pulled the lollipop out of Ji Ye's mouth. There was no candy on it anymore, only the stick. The other end was bitten flat and still had saliva hanging from it.

"You mean, I'm not as good as them?"

Ji Ye lowered her head. She knew this problem from the beginning. Her ability was the weakest among all the class leaders.

"What I mean is that it doesn't matter. No matter Ichinose, Horikita, Sakayanagi or I, none of us will doubt ourselves when it comes to devoting ourselves to the class. The reason you're confused is simply because you're not capable enough. If you were strong enough, Kanzaki wouldn't look down on you, and your classmates would trust you. You should be shining on the playground now, instead of feeling sorry for yourself here."

Ryuen felt that he had said a lot, but he didn't know if Himeno could listen to him. Deep down, Ryuen hoped that Himeno could grow. After all, it would be hard to find another Himeno in Ichinose's class.

"But improving your abilities doesn't happen overnight. There are many things that require talent, and that's something you're born with. If you don't have it, you don't have it. You can't get it by hard work, let alone improve it!"

Of course Himeno tried to surpass Ichinose through hard work, but she could never match Ichinose's friendliness.

"Talent won't give you muscles as strong as a knife. If you rush for success, you won't get the expected results. What you need to do now is to increase your importance in the class and make yourself irreplaceable. It doesn't mean you have to be the best at everything."

Ryuen's words seemed to have enlightened Himeno. Being irreplaceable was something that even Ichinose couldn't do, because Himeno was Ichinose's substitute.

"Since I'm in a good mood, I can find someone to teach you what to do, but the price will be more than just a lollipop. How about it? Do you want to accept it?"

Ryuuen gave a sly smile. After laying the groundwork for so long, his true colors were finally revealed.
