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

I couldn't help but laugh, looking at her small face and delicate features that had calmed down. She really looked like a child, and quite innocent.

Well, people are defenseless when they are fast asleep, so even if they are disguising themselves normally, when they are fast asleep, all disguises will disappear, and the true side will be revealed.

Although Lingcan is usually carefree and has a lively and immature personality, it seems now that he is actually just an immature child.

"ha..."

Really, it makes me uneasy...

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

"Is she awake yet?" Ye Jin asked me.

"No, I'm still sleeping," I replied.

"Huh? Then why did you stay for so long... Hey! You wouldn't be..." As he said this, his face turned fierce.

"Wait a minute! I just saw that she had a fever and was feeling unwell, so I wrung out a towel for her and put it on her head. Then I saw that the kettle was out of water, so I filled it up. I waited for the water to boil before coming down. I didn't do anything bad at all!"

What on earth are you thinking about all day?

"Ah? Is that so?" Ye Jin seemed a little unconvinced.

"Yeah... I should go now. Remember to wake her up later and let her drink plenty of water. Also, make sure she eats something before taking the medicine, otherwise it will be bad for her stomach..."

"Brother, when did you acquire the attribute of a mother?"

"...This is common sense, right? How can it be..."

I still have some resistance to this title.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go see her right away. Just leave quickly."

Ye Jin waved his hand impatiently to signal me to leave.

"Okay, okay... I'm leaving..." So I turned around and prepared to leave.

It's really not cute.

"But you really look quite handsome this time."

Ye Jin seemed to say something to me.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, let's go!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

ha...

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

[Easter eggs?]

"Well, I'm leaving..."

I whispered something to her and touched her head...it felt like a real child.

"don't want..."

As if trying to salvage something, the sleeping Lingcan suddenly grabbed my hand which I was about to take back.

Hey... can you catch it so accurately with your eyes closed?

"Don't go..."

She clenched her hands even tighter, as if she was helpless... Who was she trying to keep... This wasn't the time to think about this... If she wanted to keep someone, that person happened to be me, so I should respond to her expectations!

"Don't worry...I won't leave."

At least not now...well...

Then I took her hands in my other hands.

"I am your knight..."

"Knight... huh?... Your hands... are so warm... ha..."

Then she seemed to fall asleep again, and her clenched hands loosened.

"..." I looked at the smile that appeared on her face.

"Get well soon..."

I whispered to her.

I'm still waiting for you to call me a knight...preferably one that doesn't include the word "loser".

Now I realize that I am really not used to it without you by my side.

Unidentified sound

"You said you would always be with me, right?"

This sentence came too suddenly, as if it was said on a whim, but it didn't sound like a joke.

Her serious expression and words at this moment made it difficult for me to refuse.

Always be with her? I... I vaguely remember saying this to someone. Is it time to fulfill my promise?

No...after all, I don't think I have the capital to be with someone.

"No? Aren't you my knight?"

The inquiring voice came again, and seemed to carry a hint of resentment.

Knight... I still don't have a clear concept of what a knight is. Is it a title bestowed by others or a moral code that I uphold?

If it's the latter, then it's complete nonsense. I don't have any moral principles to speak of, and it has nothing to do with this word at all...or it doesn't even fit.

And if...she wants me to be her ideal knight...then I can't do that. I can't become what others want me to be, so...

"sorry, I..."

I can't keep that promise anymore.

Speak out, what's on your mind right now...

"Hey, give me..."

Wait, why did the voice suddenly change...and it's a very familiar voice...a little scary.

"Get up!"

Then he was hit hard on the head.

"....ah..."

The sudden switch between the two worlds caused by the slight pain in my head made me unable to react for a while, but when I saw Brother Nan’s angry face in front of me, I realized that I was dreaming again... Haha... How unfortunate.

"You're already sleeping at the beginning of the new semester! (Knock knock) And in my class! (Knock knock) Do you think you can learn without studying! (Knock knock) Huh?!"

...This attack method, could it be the activation of the skill [Brutal Temperament]? Talking while fighting is pretty rude anyway... [This meme comes from the Rage Knight in League of Legends]

"Uh..."

Because we were in class, I didn't argue with Nan as usual. I just looked at her angry expression...it was a bit scary.

"Just stand and listen to the class."

After Brother Nan finished speaking, he walked up to the podium again.

Okay, okay...

I thought about this and stretched myself...it was a good time to stand up and move around...but why do I always feel like I slept for a long time?

It feels like I slept for ten days or half a month... Ha, it must have been an illusion.

Chapter 8: Unidentified Voice

Speaking of which, Lingcan still didn't come to school today. Her physical condition is really bad... Minor illnesses like colds and fevers can be cured in one day for me... Well, she is a girl after all.

“Um…ah…”

Walking alone on campus, I looked up at the sky and saw a light that was not dazzling.

"Do you want to go see her again..."

I was talking to myself, and suddenly remembered visiting her and the dream I just had.

If the saying "What you think about during the day you dream about at night" is true... what have I been thinking about today...

I feel like I'm living in a dream.

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

"..."

As soon as I returned to the classroom and sat down, I found that Linquanchuan was staring at me, as if she wanted me to talk to her actively. However, I would not be fooled because it was rare for her to do this, and if I did, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Ah, ignore, ignore...

"cough...."

She coughed lightly and then looked at me with slightly angry eyes.

"Ah... the next class seems to be English... where's my textbook..."

I pretended to talk to myself while rummaging through my bag, avoiding her gaze... It's okay, there are so many people in the classroom, she wouldn't dare to do anything... Maybe.

"Memorizing English texts is so hard...Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, let go..."

I felt a pain in my arm. It must be Rinquanchuan pinching me.

"Oh my, I thought you had lost all your senses. Isn't that normal?"

...Okay, you're so cruel...

"Hey, I don't seem to notice you, sorry, haha..." Just get away with it like that.

But looking at Rinquanchuan's eyes at this moment, I really didn't dare to ignore her anymore...and her hand hadn't let go yet.

"Well... then... what do you want..."

It still hurts a lot when you pinch me like this, I can't even speak properly.

It seemed like he had been waiting for me to say this. After I finished speaking, Rinquanchuan's expression relaxed and he let go of my hand.

"Oh, come to think of it, have you noticed something?"

Pay attention to one thing...what is it...wait, usually when a girl says this to a boy, it's mostly about herself, like she's put on some new makeup, or changed her lipstick or perfume, etc...but Rinquanchuan should be...

I took a look at Rinquanchuan's face, and there was no trace of makeup at all... I don't know if it's because I can't see it...

But it's probably not about the face...

"Why are you staring at me..." Lin Quanchuan looked at me impatiently.

"Ah...no..." I responded vaguely.

Is it her figure... her flat chest has a rare bulge?

So I took a quick look there...well.

...It seems not...

"Ah... well, I noticed... you... you... that..."

I racked my brain for something to say.

"It's not about me..."

Before I could finish, Rinquanchuan interrupted me impatiently...So I didn't say the sentence "Did you change your shampoo" that I just thought of, otherwise I don't know what would have happened.

You will probably get beaten.

"You're such a heartless guy! You even forgot about your friends in the same club?"

Friends from the same club...what...so it's about Lingcan not coming to class. I should have said it earlier.

But then again, I thought this guy didn't care about other people.
