As for me... If I say to a guy in class whom I am not very familiar with, "My birthday is coming soon" or "Today is my birthday, let's go play together", I will probably be rejected... Even if I am not rejected, I will definitely say something like I am busy or some other common excuse... Besides, I will not invite them.

So we can conclude that the people who can celebrate your birthday with you are the ones with whom you have a good relationship... probably.

However, if this conclusion holds true...

Doesn’t this mean that Yehui and I actually have a very good relationship?

No... probably not. It must be because she is too innocent, so she will answer truthfully whatever I ask. This is also her charm.

Wait, if that's the case...if I asked her about her measurements or the color of the underwear she was wearing that day...she would probably also...

Wait, what am I thinking...

He actually had such evil thoughts about Ye Hui, and wanted to ask such obscene questions. He was really guilty of a heinous crime, and was simply a beastly pervert!

I couldn't help but slap myself twice.

Then I suddenly reacted and looked around... Fortunately, no one was there, otherwise I would be so embarrassed if I was seen.

Damn it, go home and reflect on yourself, you bastard, go do some push-ups and sit-ups to cultivate your sentiments.

I said to myself viciously.

I feel like I'm going crazy... But I think I've talked to my former self before... and it felt so specific, it was quite magical.

By the way, I can actually have that kind of hallucination.

It seems that I am really too tired.

Chapter 5: Night Phone Talk

I suddenly recalled the plots in movies and comics. When the protagonist wants to temper himself, he often goes to places like waterfalls to wash in the water. It seems that this can calm his heart... I don't know why.

There are also plots where the protagonist trains himself, perhaps engaging in combat or receiving special training from a master. While the process is different, it's all about physical training. The result is often a different mindset, leading to the development of one or more powerful special moves.

Although I haven't mastered any amazing skills yet, I, who usually never exercises, can take... uh... two... three breaths...? This is not important.

Anyway, after doing a hundred (rounded up) push-ups and sit-ups, I found that although I was sweating profusely and felt uncomfortable all over, I felt unusually calm in my heart.

That’s right, my heart is empty, completely blank.

Later I found out...it was because my body was too tired and my brain was too lazy to think.

Even though it's not very hot...I'd better go take a shower...Someone give me a hand.

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

It was just after seven in the evening, so it was still early.

After taking a shower and putting on pajamas, I kept wiping my hair with a towel and walked towards the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat... Luckily, my parents had left some food for me, so I didn't have to run out of town to buy it.

When I put the rice in the microwave, I suddenly remembered what Ye Jin once said to me about microwave radiation...

I suddenly knew how to relieve my anxiety.

Even though I know it won't go smoothly...I'd better contact Ye Jin.

With this in mind, I started the microwave and went upstairs to get my phone.

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

[Are you using your phone?]

To start a discussion, I sent a text message to Ye Jin first.

[So annoying, what are you doing? If it's nothing important, I'll beat you to death.]

It took only a short time to reply... Is that guy playing on his phone?

[Ah...it's urgent. Can I call you?]

I thought about it and sent the text message.

[Okay.. I repeat, if you don't have something urgent to say, I will definitely come to your house and beat you up.]

...It's a bit scary, but this should be considered an important matter...

I thought about it and dialed her cell phone, then pressed the hands-free button.

"Hey! Speak!"

As soon as the call was connected, Ye Jin's slightly barbaric voice was heard.

"Don't be so loud..."

I replied to her and brought out the heated rice.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I still want to continue playing games. Hurry up."

An anxious tone...I seemed to be able to imagine her expression at that moment.

"Actually, this is the case... I have a girl I care about..."

"Hey hey hey?! Bro, you have someone you like? Is it that young lady or her sister?"

Are you reciting tongue twisters?

"Neither of those, and I didn't say I liked her. I just cared a little bit about her. Don't make random guesses."

My tone was a little unhappy.

"Okay, okay, so what? What happened?"

She sounded very relaxed...I wondered if she was listening or not. I felt like she was just watching the show...Well, never mind.

"That's it... I just did it on a whim..."

Before I could finish my words, I was suddenly interrupted by Ye Jin's excited voice.

"Ah?! No way?! Stupid brother, how dare you be so bold? I really underestimated you before..."

"What are you imagining? Can you please just listen to what I have to say?" I interrupted her angrily.

How can you be so impure when you're just a middle school student... and you're a girl! At least tone it down. How can you find a boyfriend when you say things like that?

"Okay, okay, go ahead and tell me what you want to say."

A disdainful voice came from the phone...and seemed to be mixed with a "tsk"...so uncute.

"Really... I told her my birthday on a whim and invited her to come over to my house..."

"Oh...and then?" She responded coldly, having been quite enthusiastic just now.

Talking about this kind of thing, she inexplicably became cold... I really don't understand what her interest is, but never mind, let's just get this over with.

"Then I asked her about her birthday, and she told me. She also asked me to compensate her for playing with her. Do you think she... uh, likes me?"

After saying this, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

What's wrong... I was really shy when I said this, okay... At least give me some reaction...

"..."

I waited for a few seconds, but still nothing happened.

"Hello...Hello? Ye Jin..."

I couldn't help but call her twice.

"What...I'm busy." He acted as if he didn't want to pay attention to me.

"What are you busy with..."

Obviously nothing happened just now...

"I'm busy choosing the knife to kill you. Do you think it's more exciting to use a fruit knife or a watermelon knife? Oh, there's also a kitchen knife to choose from..."

"Wait wait wait wait!"

I quickly stopped her from doing this because even though I knew she was joking, it still sounded scary.

"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you that if you disturb me for no reason, I'll kill you."

A cold tone came from the other end of the phone.

"No... Isn't this a big deal? Huh? This has been bothering me for... hours."

"Go to hell! You're wasting my time, you idiot! Swapping birthdays is so common for students, right? It's normal to swap birthdays and then go out together! And they didn't just invite you, so why are you being so self-indulgent? You're a virgin with no dating experience!"

Ye Jin seemed very angry and said so many words to me in one breath, his speaking speed was shocking... But what I care about most is calling me a "virgin"... Is being a virgin bad?

"So...so, this kind of thing is common?"

I couldn't believe it and confirmed it with her again.

"Yeah, that's right! Don't ask me about things you can figure out with a little thought. What's the point of using your brain? Okay, hang up before I completely decide to kill you."

"........."

Actually, I wanted to apologize to her, but since she said so, I'd better not apologize... What if she really comes to my house with a knife?

"Then I'm hanging up..."

"Wait!" Ye Jin's voice sounded again.

"Uh...what..."

"You've troubled me this time, so you owe me a favor. Next time, you have to treat me to a meal, and there's no limit on the amount. Do you hear me?!"

...If this alone can calm her down...then there's no reason to refuse.

"Okay... I'm fine. Go ahead and do your thing. Sorry, sorry, my IQ is temporarily off this time..."

"When have you ever had any intelligence... Never mind, I'm dead, I still have time to play Four Kingdoms Kill..."

As he was speaking, there was a pause in the phone, followed by the sound of hanging up.

"Ah..." I picked up my phone and opened the notepad.

Looking at the note titled "Yehui's Birthday", he smiled and then turned off the screen.

So... I guess I was just overthinking it... Ah, but if Ye Hui invites his friends over, how should I greet them?

But no matter how troublesome it is, I will not consider discussing it with Ye Jin.

Life is always full of melancholy

【Special Edition】 Melancholy of the Disqualified Human

[The title is a lie, ahaha.]

"Time is like sand that can't be grasped, constantly slipping away from my hands... no, it slips away from my body. When I try to stop it, I find that more time has already passed by me.

I raised my hands in vain to keep him, but to no avail.

Perhaps God has already determined a certain result, making those who work hard in vain and those who work without success receive rewards.

Why bother struggling? Instead of struggling in the quagmire of reality, it is better to save your energy and, when you fall into despair, take a closer look at this world full of injustice and yet infinite light...”

"Okay... just stop pretending here."

The guy named "Ziting Buxiao" stood in front of "Disqualified Human" and spoke to him with a look of disdain.

"No matter how deep your tone is, you can't hide the fact that you want to delay the update."

"..." The paralyzed Disqualified Human lying on the sofa thought for a moment, then raised his left hand.

"Ah, could it be that this so-called benevolent and loving god has no regard for me at all? I'm clearly a devout believer, but right now, he's completely indifferent to me and has ignored my requests for help..."

"If you do this again, I'll do it."

He said as he lifted up the stool at the table next to him.

"Ahhh, wait, I'm just being sentimental... Don't force me to update, because I already..."

Before the disqualified person could finish his words, Zi Ting added leisurely without smiling, "Jiang Lang's talent has run out."

"Who's running out of ideas?! I'm not! It's just that this oppression, comparable to the slavery of the old society, has completely drained my thoughts! I'm a victim too!"

"You deserve it. You insisted on getting the perfect attendance award. Now you're suffering."

Zi Ting responded without smiling, using an attitude that was completely none of his business and a disqualified human attitude, and put down the stool by the way.
