I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

“It’s finally started.”

I sighed.

................................

I have to say, it’s different with sponsors. The fireworks have been going on for more than 20 minutes and they all look beautiful.

"Hey, Sheji!"

Because the sound of fireworks is still very loud, you should speak a little louder when talking.

"What?"

"Don't forget to make a New Year's wish!"

.....I looked at her, and she was looking at me.

"What's wrong?" she asked me.

“.......” I shook my head.

.............................

What is your wish?

I'm afraid I won't be able to fool people by saying that my wish is world peace, right?

Ah...I haven't really thought about wishes in detail.

And will a wish definitely come true? It’s just a wish... just like Ah Q’s self-consolation.

But...

Let’s just make a wish for a smooth love life.

................

"Well, please take care of me in the new year."

As the huge fireworks soared into the sky, the surrounding scenery welcomed the light again, and she was no exception.

In the momentary light, Lin Yi in front of me seemed...very cute?

"Ah... well, please take care of me."

At this time, it is the first day of the new year.

task

When I came to my senses, the new year had already arrived...

Accompanied by fireworks, her smile... and a blessing, we welcomed the new year that would come whether we liked it or not.

I'm another year older, and while I feel happy, I also feel a bit melancholy... Is it true that getting older makes me sadder?

If I think back to what happened with Lin Yi the night before last, it seems like it was just yesterday...

Actually, it was yesterday...

But since it is already New Year, it also means that there is not much time left in the winter vacation.

Thinking back on what happened yesterday, I remember one thing I didn't do that I really, really regret.

Yes, she's the class president! Even though she wasn't as good at studying as that pervert Rinquanchuan, she was still a blast to be around. So... the atmosphere and environment were fantastic back then, but I was so focused on getting home... I forgot something very important, something I'll regret.

I didn't even say that to Lin Yi...

If I could go back to that time... facing her beautiful face under the bright light, I would definitely say those words to her...

Can you lend me your winter vacation homework?

................

Well, if I think about it calmly, I'll probably get beaten... After all, she knows Taekwondo or Karate... It hurt a lot when I got kicked that time, and I don't want to experience it again.

Borrowing homework from Lin Yi to copy...is just thought of it.

So...let the past be the past.

And when I think back to my homework...I haven't touched it at all!

Although it is reasonable to say that I can finish the homework by myself without copying the homework...

But my dignity as a student has been urging me not to be intimidated by the teacher's power... That's right, I will not give in because of running laps and standing in the corner. I will be reasonable.

Speaking of reason...I instantly felt completely confident.

Okay...then let's implement the saying "The bolder the person, the later the homework will be" to the end.

I made this decision in my heart...ah, in that instant I felt so much braver.

So... I glanced at the familiar icons on my computer...

Let's get started...

Entering...

"Hey, Sheji, your classmates are looking for you."

Dad suddenly opened my door and said to me.

"Ah? Classmate?"

I don't remember telling my classmates my home address...except for Rinsen River.

Could it be that she came to see me? Could it be that she came to play games with me?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a look at the host she gave me, and my heartbeat seemed to speed up.

"No way... No way... What is she doing here..."

So I ran downstairs muttering to myself excitedly and met the classmate my father mentioned.

"Hey, Master... Uh, hello, Sheji, have you finished your homework?"

I wanted to slap myself for getting so inexplicably excited just now.

After all, I should give it to the guy who greeted me in front of me.

Episode 15

Facing Liu Yan who was grinning at me, I really wanted to beat him up and then drive him away... But my dad was at home, so you're lucky.

"....Let's talk in my room..."

I said to him somewhat helplessly, then walked up the stairs by myself.

"Okay..." He seemed to be following me with his schoolbag... Did he write a part and then copy the rest of my work?

.........................

"Um, Master, your homework..."

The first thing he asked me about my homework when he entered my room.

“I can’t do my homework.”

I gave him a cold look, sat in front of the computer, and found that I had been removed from the competition because I had not moved for a long time.

"Huh? No way...school is about to start..."

I never expected that he would actually have something to worry about...

"So how much have you written? Is there still a lot left to write?"

I asked him back.

"Ah... Actually, I didn't move at all... After all, I have some things to do during the holidays..."

You are no better than me...

"In that case, then don't write it at all."

I answered him easily and then got into another game.

"But not doing homework will have very serious consequences!" he said in a horrified tone.

Haha... I know you are still wasting time asking me to copy homework, and I have already said that I didn’t do it. Why don’t you leave quickly and go home to do your homework.

"Just take care of yourself and don't meddle in my business... Anyway, it's none of your business if I don't do my homework, right?"

"That's true... but I still want to get something for nothing."

You actually said it as if it was a matter of course!

"I absolutely won't do my homework."

I made my position clear.

"Why? Aren't your test scores much better than mine..." He seemed puzzled.

My grades are better than yours just because you're too rubbish... I don't mean anything else. I'm a guy who sleeps in class and doesn't pay attention. Anyone who can't get better grades than me is rubbish...

"You seem to have a misunderstanding about homework..." I casually picked up the drink on the table and took a sip. "Let me ask you, what do you think homework is?"

"Ah... uh..." He frowned and thought for a moment, "It's similar to a quest... you have to complete it... but there's no reward."

From this sentence, you can tell what type of games this guy often plays...mostly role-playing games.

But what surprised me the most was that this guy actually used his brain to think... It's true that "a man's absence after three days is remarkably different"... It seems that this guy is not a fool.

"Hmm... That's not entirely true..."

It seems that this guy needs me to teach him a lesson and improve his comprehension ability.

"Homework is indeed like a quest in a sense, but compared to the main quest, such as studying, homework can only be considered a side quest."

This analogy should make him understand...

"Huh? Why..."

"Good question."

We need people like you who are good at asking questions.

"The main purpose of going to school is to learn knowledge, which is like experience points in a game. The more experience points you gain, the stronger your character becomes. Experience points are mainly gained through grinding maps and completing quests. Grinding maps is like the teacher lecturing in class every day, and the amount we actually learn is...very little, right?"

"Uh...yeah." He nodded.

"Another way is to complete tasks, which are the homework assigned by the teacher. But why are homework only considered side quests..."

Having said that, I looked at Liu Yan, and he seemed to be listening very carefully.

"That's because everyone has a different profession. Don't forget that there are mages, priests, and warriors in the game. What we'll be doing in the future may have nothing to do with what we can get from homework. For example, if a quest rewards mage equipment, but you're a warrior, you definitely won't take it, right? In real life, if you want to be a cartoonist or something like that, why do you have to be good at math? So, homework tasks are optional. Do you understand?"

Well, that seems a bit far-fetched... After all, I think learning more isn't a bad thing, but I try to avoid unnecessary energy consumption, so...

"Oh...you mean, I should find knowledge that suits me and absorb it, right?" He said in a tone that seemed to understand.

....Well, there's a point... Actually, I just want to say that not doing homework is no big deal... for those who have clear goals.

It’s a pity that I don’t have a clear goal but still don’t want to do my homework.

The only reason is laziness...but in order not to say it out loud, I use so many excuses to cover it up.

Well, actually, I wanted to drag Liu Yan along with me and not do my homework, so that if I get punished, there would be someone to accompany me... Suddenly I feel like I'm a little sinister...

"Yeah... So, not doing homework won't have any serious consequences for our future." Maybe...

I really don’t feel uncomfortable saying things against my will more often.

"Is that so...you are indeed a master..." he sighed, "Then I'd better go home quickly..."

Are we finally going home...

"What are you going home for?"

Although I'm not very interested, I'll ask anyway to satisfy my curiosity.

"Of course, it's homework..."

He answered me as if it was a matter of course.
