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

If loneliness becomes the norm, people will become stronger... Isn't there a theory that goes like this? "Friends will reduce a person's hardness"... I think that's what it says.

Since having many friends will reduce one's hardness, then people with few friends or no friends at all are pure people... It's just that the people around them are not pure, so pure people are often seen as outliers.

As for me... I just choose to pursue something different from others... I guess this is just my luck.

So... I feel like I'm no longer young. I always pursue a different self from others and want to be as pure as possible... I have entered a new stage in my life.

Some things just don't make sense

Spring represents the season of vitality for all things.

The guys who had been restricted by the low temperatures were gradually getting excited again as the temperature rose... But of course, I wasn't one of them... I'm not the energetic type. Compared to the guys who had already changed into their summer uniforms, I was still wearing my winter uniform...

Those who start to act arrogantly in early spring usually don't end up well.

Because of the rise in temperature, not only animals and plants start to become more active, but pathogenic bacteria will also appreciate the spring... Spring has no other meaning... It just refers to the scenery of spring.

The experience summarized by our predecessors is always correct. The sayings such as "cover up in spring and keep cool in autumn" and "warm weather before cold" are very correct. So...

Could you guys in your summer uniforms stop looking at me like I'm stupid?

Chapter 1: Some things happen for no reason

"It's time to collect homework, Sheji. Where's yours? You're the only one left."

Squad leader Lin Yi and the guy behind him...what's his name...never mind, it doesn't matter.

In short, I have to carry piles of homework to the office.

"Uh... here."

I took out a portion and handed it over.

"It seems not enough? Haven't you finished writing it?" Lin Yi asked me.

"Uh-huh."

After hesitating for a while, I finally admitted it because I felt that using "forgot to bring it" as an excuse would make me seem too stupid, and Brother Nan would never believe me.

"Ha... I guess Teacher Nan is going to call you again."

Lin Yi took my homework and said, "Be prepared to make an excuse or accept the punishment."

...What kind of thing is this... gloating? Are you still the squad leader I remembered? Have you really changed in just one year?

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

"Report...report."

I came to the office I hadn't been to for a while...I felt a little nostalgic for some reason.

"Happy New Year! You look more mature now. I guess you had a good holiday, didn't you?"

Brother Nan looked at me with a kind smile.

"Ahahaha..." I was speechless... Maybe it's because I'm wearing winter school uniform, but I feel like I'm sweating a lot...

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"Well... I guess I know it..." I couldn't help but look out the window.

"So, what's your reason this time? Tell me."

Brother Nan has really gotten used to it... He even took the initiative to listen to my reasons... So I don't want to say anything anymore.

"No... no reason, I just haven't finished my homework... It's up to me..." I was mentally prepared.

"Huh?" Brother Nan seemed confused when he heard this.

"Huh?" Doesn't Brother Nan know that I haven't finished my homework?

"I'm talking about you not going to see Jiayin off. Why? I saw you two were pretty close, weren't you? I didn't intend to make a fuss about it, but a lot of students brought it up with me afterwards and seemed really upset with you."

Do these guys care so much?

Perhaps because he saw my complicated expression, Brother Nan continued, "Actually, I don't need to ask you to come to my office for something like this. I just think your behavior is bad for your reputation in the class... Actually, I still like you very much..."

"ah?!"

I couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

"Don't overthink it, kid."

Brother Nan's voice suddenly became much colder and his expression darkened... a little scary.

"No... continue..."

"Oh..." She held her forehead, "Did something happen between you and her?"

"Ah...it's a bit complicated. But the problem has indeed been solved, so I don't think there's any need to say goodbye to her."

But having said that, I still went to meet her when no one else knew... It’s better not to tell Brother Nan about this.

"Really? It seems like you two did know each other before... Were you originally boyfriend and girlfriend? And then you broke up for some reason during this cultural exhibition?"

Have you read too many third-rate novels or have you got a really big imagination? How could you come up with such a ridiculously bloody plot?

"No... Our relationship is much simpler than you think..." I quickly denied Brother Nan's imagination.

"Well, that's your business. I don't want to get involved... But, do you think this is okay? Doing something like this will make your classmates dislike you. You might even get beaten up someday. Let's be clear, it's no use complaining to me later."

What kind of teacher are you...

"It's okay... As long as I don't harm their interests, I'll be fine. Keeping a distance from those guys is what I want."

I always feel that this sentence is very sophisticated. I am really good.

"Why are you pretending to be mature..." Brother Nan seemed to be very disdainful of my answer, "Although that's true...but don't you have a good relationship with Liu Yan?"

"That was the exception, and I can count on one hand the number of people in my class who were connected to me, so I'm doing pretty well."

"It's very sad and nothing to be proud of."

Brother Nan waved his hand at me in disgust... Can you still call me teacher like that?

"Okay... since you don't care, I don't have anything to say. Let's not discuss this issue." Brother Nan sighed.

"Then I'll...leave?"

I asked Brother Nan cautiously.

"Um..." She waved at me, indicating that I could leave.

However, as soon as I turned around, I was stopped.

"Wait, you just said you haven't finished your homework, right?"

"........"

I finally understand what it means to speak ill of others.

"Really? When did I say that?"

Although I know it’s useless, it’s better to play dumb.

"Hmm? It's okay if you don't admit it. I can check it. I didn't plan to check it, but I'll just check yours..."

"Teacher, you can't target me like this!"

I raised objections.

"...Why not? Is it wrong for me to check anyone's homework I want?"

....I was speechless.

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

Because it was the first day of school, the new books had not been distributed yet. Also, it was in the afternoon, so although the students were in school during this half day, they were still very idle.

So...people will do boring things when they have free time.

"Sheji, come on!" "Six laps left!" "Can you run faster?" "The other classes are watching, don't embarrass us!"

As I was running on the playground, I kept hearing the cheers of my so-called classmates...You guys are really bored.

Looking back at the teaching building, I saw quite a few people standing by the windows watching me run... You guys are gloating...

Fortunately, there are also students from other classes who haven't finished their homework. Now, they are sweating with me on this huge playground. It feels like they are enjoying their youth...

I don’t want this kind of youth at all!

.....Ugh...the figure waving at me at the edge of the playground is...

"Come on!" Yehui waved and shouted at me.

I nodded at her and tried my best to catch up with the guys running ahead of me.

When I surpassed everyone, I suddenly realized something...

This isn't a sports meet, why should I run so fast...

Troubles always come one after another

"Should I praise your fighting spirit or laugh at your shameful behavior?"

I was running wildly on the playground because I was punished by running laps. Now I was resting on the side of the playground after the end. Suddenly, I heard a voice that made me feel very uncomfortable. The source of this voice was a guy who made me feel even more uncomfortable...Rin Hanekawa.

"It's... it's useless. Whether it's praise or ridicule... I don't care. Right now... right now, my heart is as calm as water."

I responded to her breathlessly.

Well, even though my heart is beating fast due to the intense exercise, it doesn't mean that I'm not calm. The body and mind must be clearly distinguished.

"Wow...really?"

She had a look and tone of disbelief... This habit seems familiar.

"If the girl who just cheered you on came to praise you, would you still be able to stay calm?"

"......"

After hearing this, I glanced at her sideways, feeling inexplicably unhappy and trying to create a sense of oppression on her.

"Okay, I'm not interested in which girl you have a crush on. I just want to talk to you about something."

She seemed to be getting more serious without being affected at all, but her condescending tone remained the same.

It felt like I jumped up and hit her knee...

"Then tell me..."

I answered her casually, then looked at Ye Hui who was standing in the distance. She seemed to know that Rin Yuchuan and I had something to say, so she just waved to me and walked towards the teaching building.

He's so reasonable... and has a good personality, unlike everyone around me...

"Listen carefully to me."

Her tone seemed a little unhappy.

“I’m listening…”

Even though I responded like this, I was thinking:

Ah... I'm so thirsty. What should I buy to drink later?

"Well, even though I think it's a little inappropriate, I still have to reluctantly praise you. Let's just say it was last year... You did pretty good."

It's still a carbonated drink after all... Hmm? What was this guy just talking about?

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known my sister could sing, and she's so good at it... I'm a little reluctant."

Ah... So you are talking about last year... How troublesome... I should think about what to eat after school. Hmm... Let's give up the instant noodles for now... and go eat something good... Oh, I almost forgot that I have a huge expense. I better save some money.

"Well, it's just that she still doesn't bother to talk to me. Even though she was sitting next to me on the plane, she still didn't talk to me..."

Ah...what did she say just now...Rinquanchuan still doesn't talk to her? Isn't this normal...
