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

So I told Xiaoye what I was thinking.

Then he received a loud slap in the face.

When Xiaoye slapped me, I immediately felt that my emotions had reached the saddest point in my life. Even as time passed, this feeling would not diminish in the slightest.

Yes, I was truly filled with grief and sorrow, and I wanted to cry... It felt as if life had lost its meaning. From that moment on, the thought of giving up on life, which I had never considered before, began to germinate within me...

lied to you.

Actually not.

Xiaoye just nodded thoughtfully.

From this we can see that human thinking is always constrained by inertia.

Moreover, in people's subconscious mind... they are always happy to enjoy.

Enjoy the comfortable environment, enjoy the sweetness of love, enjoy the pleasure brought by material things... Once immersed in it, it is difficult to extricate yourself. When seeing the protagonist of the story enjoy something, the audience always can't help but bring themselves into it, and the degree of involvement depends on the author's description skills and the audience's preferences... According to my observation, articles with more cheerful plots and tend to bring pleasure to people generally have more audiences.

And...and "The Knight of Milok" is a novel with a lot of this kind of content.

And it just so happens that it was published by the same publishing house as mine, so now it is naturally published on the same website.

Although I didn't mean to, there are always people who compare us... For example, Xiaoye's... boss?

"Although it may be a bit unreasonable...but could you update a little faster in the future, Sheji?"

This is what Xiaoye asked me to do.

Come to think of it... it's a miracle that a work like mine, which is always delayed and the plot rarely makes the audience happy, can achieve such success...

"But, if we keep going like this, we'll eventually be surpassed..."

Although Xiaoye was somewhat unwilling, he still accepted the following plot.

"It's okay..."

This is just what I'm saying... For Xiaoye, it might involve salary or something, right?

"That's it... After all, I can't forcibly interfere with your thoughts..." Feeling a little sad, Xiaoye prepared to get up and leave.

"That..." I suddenly remembered what I was about to say.

"Hmm? Anything else?"

Xiaoye temporarily stopped getting up.

"Well..." How to say...

"You probably wouldn't accept something expensive... How about chocolate?"

This is the common option...

"Ah...ah...well...okay."

I have to say, Xiaoye is really cute when he smiles.

"Then... let's give some chocolate to Rinsenkawa and Yoki as well..."

I talked to myself like this.

"Hmm? Who are these two? Your friends?"

Xiaoye asked me this, as if he heard what I said.

"Let's just say so..." I thought about it.

"Do male classmates also give chocolates to each other?"

What are you talking about... Are you questioning my popularity with women like this? This is not right, Xiaoye.

"Oh no...they are both girls..."

Ah... I think I said something unnecessary again...

Chapter 17.5 is just a moral principle

It’s here...the unhappy Valentine’s Day is finally here.

However, for me and most people, we have to replace "節" with "劫".

On the one hand, it is out of envy and jealousy... It is not narrow-mindedness, but human nature. After all, we all want to have something we don’t have, whether it is money or a girlfriend.

On the other hand, those who are already single are showing off blatantly.

Humans always find ways to show off what they have... For example, people who have luxury cars will show off to those who drive ordinary cars, and people who drive ordinary cars will show off to those who don't have cars.

This was merely to satisfy his own vanity, and at most only touched upon one of the seven deadly sins.

There is nothing wrong with being a loving couple...

But it’s your fault for showing off!

Yes, this behavior should really be listed as the first of the seven deadly sins.

Compared with "arrogance" and "vanity", "showing off your partner" is simply shocking and needs to be punished like the root of all evil.

God created the first man and woman, who were also lovers.

This is the root of all evil!

Who ate the forbidden fruit? It was a couple!

And this is the beginning of evil!

Oh my goodness! There's a holiday dedicated to sinners!

I'm so desperate! I'm so desperate about this world where no one can distinguish between good and evil!

For the peace of the world...light our gasoline and torches...

The above...is what I think about every year on my way to school on Valentine's Day.

But surprisingly... on Valentine's Day this year, I wasn't thinking about these things... but was wondering if there were chocolates already on my desk.

...This is what is called degeneration...

[Another member has defected...]

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

"Did you receive the chocolate?"

Liu Yan asked me excitedly.

"....No."

Facing Liu Yan’s excited face, I had the urge to hit him.

"Oh my goodness, I only have one~"

He took out an exquisitely wrapped box from his schoolbag with a boastful tone.

"...Xiaoyou gave it to you..."

Just look at the elaborate packaging and you'll know it's the real chocolate...but the idiot in front of me naturally doesn't care.

“Ah…yes…”

After being exposed, he immediately became depressed.

Why are you so upset? After all, it was given to you by your childhood sweetheart, not by your parents or sisters.

I sighed and touched the chocolate in my schoolbag.

Although I have picked some...but I still don't want to bother with packaging...and it seems that most of them are given by girls to boys, and boys will return the gifts on White Valentine's Day, right?

I actually forgot about this...

"A bit..."

I feel a little sad...

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

"...You look so miserable. Is this how you behave every Valentine's Day?" Brother Nan handed me the documents while chewing the chocolates piled next to him.

"...Aren't you the same..." I said as I reached out to take it...After all, I couldn't escape this disaster.

"You little brat!" Brother Nan seemed to have hit a sore spot, and he picked up a bag of chocolates next to him and smashed it on my head.

By the way, what Nan-ge was eating and what was thrown at her were all given to the teacher next to her by others... She's quite popular...

"It hurts..." I complained as I picked up the chocolate on the ground and prepared to put it back.

"I'm giving it to you." Brother Nan stopped me lightly.

"Oh? That's not good... This is..."

"That guy gave it to me..." As he said this, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes.

"...Oh...thank you..."

I left tactfully.

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

This... can be considered as receiving one?

I stared at the chocolate bar that was cracked in half, visible even through the wrapper.

"Oh...someone gave you a beastly chocolate. Are you sure it's not some new kind of dog food?"

Linquanchuan's words drifted past my ears.

"Please don't call me single, okay?" I said, tearing open the package. "I brought this with me. Want some?"

It's okay to tell a little lie...

"Huh? You brought it yourself... How unwelcome are you? And why would I need something like yours that only comforts me?"

"Uh... Actually, I was giving this to someone and it accidentally fell to the ground and broke. I can't just give it away like this..." I said as I took out a chocolate that I had prepared from my schoolbag, "Here, this is for you."

"Ugh?"

Without waiting for Rinquanchuan to react, I placed it directly on her desk.

Okay... I finally found an excuse to give one away... It seems like her reaction isn't too offensive... If I kept track of youth points, I would give myself 10.8 points without hesitation.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as youth in my concept...

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

Next is to give Yehui a gift... although it's just chocolate...

Come to think of it, it seems like I rarely give Ye Hui anything... This time I finally thought of her, so maybe I should give her something a little different...

"Hello, Liu Yan." I patted his shoulder.

"Huh? What's wrong..."

"...If you were to give a girl a gift, what would you give her?" I asked.

"Well... although it's a bit early for me, the first time I give a girl a gift is when I propose to her, so it must be a ring."

...This simple thought really scares me.

"... Never mind. It's okay."

It seems I still can't ask this guy...

Things that matter

"Hey, squad leader."

"Um?"

Lin Yi, who was dragged into this to help me review documents, is now sitting face to face with me, so I really want to ask her what she thinks, after all, she is a girl.

"I said...just if..."

Let’s get the premise right first to avoid misunderstandings, so I emphasize this again and again.

"Huh? What if..."
