Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

"Teacher, you put it lightly."

"Why, do you have any opinion on my life talk?"

"I just want to ask, teacher, do you have any high school friends who you are still in touch with?" Hikigaya Hachiman asked.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned.

"So, it's no big deal if you don't have friends in high school, right? We're bound to lose touch anyway."

Hikigaya Hachiman is an obvious pessimist.

"Life is less than a hundred years, yet we always worry about a thousand years. Days are short and nights are long, so why not go out with a candle?"

At this time, Ling Wuji came over with his and Leticia's homework. When he heard what Hikigaya Hachiman said, he immediately recited a few lines of Chinese poetry. Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned after hearing it. It's not that she couldn't hear it, and she didn't need Ling Wuji to explain. She was not a teacher who only followed the rules.

The meaning of "Ling Wu Ji" is simply to enjoy life while you can.

Although……

This poem doesn't seem to be very appropriate for Hikigaya Hachiman.

Because even if he wants to enjoy life in the moment, reality may not respond to his ideas.

"But doesn't Yuigahama Yui like him?"

"Cough cough..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka found herself choking again.

Hikigaya Hachiman's expression also became a little stiff.

But Ling Wuji had no intention of letting him go, and asked, "Could it be that Hikigaya-san doesn't like that pink-haired girl?"

"Ling, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to use other people's appearance as a nickname?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"It's as if you, the teacher, are so noble."

Ling Wuji just glanced at her, still not taking it seriously, and turned to look at Hikigaya Hachiman, but his dead fish eyes shrank this time, and he left first, saying something like "I have something else to do", leaving the two of them with a fleeing back.

"Student Ling, sometimes I wonder if you've gotten used to being a scumbag, so you don't feel any guilt for trampling on girls' hearts anymore?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka took the homework book from the boy without even looking at it and said.

"Maybe."

Ling Wuji just touched his chin. Just like Hiratsuka Shizuka said, he didn't feel guilty at all, but he still said, "It's just that, teacher, don't you think that Hikigaya's life is too bleak? I just want to add some bright colors to his world."

"But if you want to help him, isn't the best way to do it to become his friend?"

"Teacher, you can say that I'm arrogant or look down on others, but I don't think I can be friends with him," Ling Wuji said, "He and I were not from the same world from the beginning, even if he learned from that game..."

"what game?"

"nothing."

Ling Wu Ji immediately shook his head.

"Although I also think that someone who can make Haruno willingly do that wouldn't play this kind of friendship game with a high school student."

"Teacher, this is a far cry from what you said before. If Hikigaya-san were still here, she might cry, right?"

"Speaking the truth to people and telling lies to ghosts is what a qualified person in society should do, right?"

Ling Wuji thought about it and said, "I will just assume that what you say to me is human language."

"Very sharp."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was surprised and said.

Ling Wu Ji immediately rolled his eyes.

"Come to think of it, since you feel that you are not from the same world as a kid like him, why can you get along with Leticia? Don't tell me that you are just normal friends." Shizuka Hiratsuka asked curiously, looking at the two exercise books stacked together in her hands.

"It was just a mistake."

"That's a pretty scumbag answer."

Seeing that he was unwilling to delve into this topic, Hiratsuka Shizuka wanted him to personally experience what it felt like to be dealt with by someone who didn't know when to advance or retreat and who was recklessly stepping on landmines, so she said, "But what kind of coincidence could make us so arrogant that our classmates would be willing to cast their eyes close to our classmates and stare at them?"

"Maybe because she's already risked everything she has?"

"So you're feeling sorry for her?"

"Who knows?" Ling Wuji said.

"But if one day, your pity for her is completely worn out and replaced by emotions like disgust, what should she do then?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said a little listlessly.

She had seen enough stories like this in college or during her teaching career.

So even though she knew very well that Ling Wuzhi was the kind of boy who would not do anything extreme, she still wanted to help the girl question him. Although no matter how you look at it, the love between two people who are not Japanese but are happening in Japan is really too outrageous.

"Let's not talk about whether I would do that or not, but it's not uncommon for gamblers to lose all their chips, right? Besides, when you said that to Hikigaya before, didn't you encourage him to become a gambler? Although people's sincerity is inexhaustible in a sense, for a sensitive adolescent like him, if reality keeps frustrating him, he will only close his heart more, right?" Ling Wuji changed the subject very skillfully and changed the topic, saying, "Teacher, you are really good at speaking differently to different people."

“I think it’s a little different.”

Hiratsuka Shizuka just smiled bitterly and said.

"What's the difference?"

"Of course the consequences are different. If someone like you rejects them, someone like Leticia would not be able to bear the consequences, right? But Hikigaya still has the capital to continue gambling..."

Volume 6: Life and Death in the Present: Chapter 8: Meeting Outside the School

"So, teacher, you think the key to the problem is to have room for trial and error?"

Let Wu Ji speak.

"Isn't it?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said, "If everyone is like you, casually revealing those subtle secrets, leaving no room for each other, what if the facts are not really as you said? Maybe Yuigahama just mistakenly thought that she liked Hikigaya? You also said that a sensitive personality like Hikigaya Hachiman would not be able to deal with that kind of girl, right?"

"I suppose he's handling it well enough?"

Ling Wu Ji just said.

"Habitually rejecting other people's kindness is not a good way of life, right?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said, "So I think he can't really deal with that kind of girl, because gentle girls are gentle to everyone, not just to him, so he will feel that other people's kindness to him is just that person's indiscriminate release, and he is not special to that person, just one of many 'friends'."

Ling Wuji thought about it and then gently applauded the Chinese teacher in front of him who was giving a long speech.

He really didn't expect that such a violent teacher could understand the vague thoughts of adolescent boys and girls so well.

Of course, for a person like Ling Wuji who is cold-hearted by nature, he would rather find a paper man than to carefully explore whose gentleness towards whom is special and not just his nature.

Although he has no right to say such things now.

However, he was not the kind of person who would repeatedly test whether other people's affection for him was real or not.

Anyway, for him, even if the truth is revealed and he ends up losing his friends, it won’t have any impact.

Although Hikigaya Hachiman has always said that he doesn't need friends.

But since he is so hesitant now, does it mean that he still cares about the distance between him and Yuigahama Yui?

"Humans are social animals after all. Not everyone is like you, thinking that they can survive without interacting with anyone. Although I think you are just pretending to be like that to deceive little girls like Leticia."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

Ling Wu Ji didn't care about her slander.

"But this kind of neither-up nor down relationship can't continue forever, right?"

Ling Wuji didn't think there was anything wrong with revealing the paper.

"If Hikigaya Hachiman is just afraid of disappointment, you are too decisive, it's a bit scary."

Shizuka Hiratsuka put out the cigarette in her hand, waved her hand, and did not continue on this topic. Anyway, if Hikigaya Hachiman was unwilling to face the problem, no matter how much they discussed, it would be meaningless. Although Shizuka Hiratsuka always forced Hikigaya Hachiman to accept reality, she did not want to interfere in this matter.

Of course Ling Wuji would not be willing to help others to such an extent.

So he didn't continue discussing the man's psychological problems and left the office.

However, he discovered that Hikigaya Hachiman was somewhat concerned about the attitude of the pink-haired girl.

Although compared to that transvestite Totsuka Ayaka in Class F, the level of concern does not seem to be superior.

From a certain perspective, Hikigaya Hachiman is really in a very dangerous situation.

No. Is that really the case?

After all, Totsuka Ayaka always seems to show her feminine side. From this perspective, it seems reasonable for Hikigaya Hachiman to be moved, right? Although the transvestite must be a man with a penis, and Hikigaya Hachiman also knows this fact.

Ling Wu Ji thought silently.

"Ah, classmate Ling."

The pink-haired ball was greeting him.

Ling Wuji met them in a family restaurant.

The so-called "they" naturally includes Yukinoshita Yukino.

As mentioned before, Ling Wu Ji is a loser who can't cook. Although there are people like Asagami Fujino who have volunteered to prepare meals for Ling Wu Ji, that is really too much trouble. Ling Wu Ji is also used to wandering around the streets looking for restaurants that suit his taste. Moreover, for someone like Ling Wu Ji, once he encounters a situation where he has been dining in a place for a long time and the waiter knows him and tells him the menu in advance, he will feel that he can't stay there. So even though he has been to many restaurants that he thought the food was decent, he will not stay in the same place for a long time.

Anyway, for his current means of movement, distance is just a concept in his mind.

But today he happened to run into a restaurant where his classmates from the same school were.

He actually didn't want to meet his classmates in such an occasion.

But since they had greeted him first, he couldn't pretend not to know them anymore, so he just nodded in greeting. But he didn't want to walk with them. However, there happened to be an empty space next to where he was sitting, which made those people think that they had an opportunity, so they naturally sat around him. Moreover, Yuigahama Yui even commented on his dinner without knowing the consequences. Although it was just an ordinary hamburger, fries and Coke, the pink-haired girl looked at the boy's thin figure with shock, and said in disbelief: "Does your classmate usually eat this for dinner?"

"Why, do you have any objection?"

This is one of the reasons why Ling Wuji doesn't want to meet his classmates outside of school.

"No, I'm just a little surprised. After all, this kind of food seems to have a lot of calories..."

Yukinoshita Yukino next to her wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

She probably also thought that Ling Wuji was originally a mysterious person.

Although from Ling Wuji's perspective, he doesn't need to eat at all now.

And actually Ling Wuji is not a gourmet, but he has nothing else to do recently, so he resumed his habit of three meals a day. As for why he ran into these people, it can only be said that the author wanted to arrange for him to run into them here, and there is no need for any other reason...

"By the way, can Ling also come to our study session?"

"Study meeting?" Ling Wuji pretended to be confused and said, "How can we have a study meeting?"
