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

Even though he raised his questions, he didn't take his eyes off the documents he needed to review... He's really serious...

"Ahem...that's right...if a boy wants to give you a gift, what kind of gift do you think would make you happiest?"

I always feel like this sentence is like I am giving her a gift.

"Huh?... I haven't really thought about this..." She seemed to be thinking of a bad memory, "I've never received a gift from a boy before..."

That's right... After all, boys feel that they are not worthy of you. After all, you are good at sports, study and look great...

"But there are a lot of gifts from girls."

...This is indeed quite nerve-wracking in some ways...

"Actually, I think that if it's someone you like, then whatever you give them will be precious to them. But if it's someone you don't like, then they won't accept any jewelry, no matter how expensive it is."

Well said. I will tell Liu Yan this sentence word for word later.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" she asked me curiously, then as if she suddenly understood something, "Are you thinking about a gift for your girlfriend?"

"No...I'm still single..."

"Ah... Is that so?" She looked at me in surprise. "I'm so sorry... I don't know if I touched a sore spot... Are you okay?"

It was originally fine, but after you added that, I really feel a little hurt...

"Well, thank you anyway."

I sighed and ended the topic.

"You are welcome."

She said and continued to review the documents.

"..."

Although she wasn't expected, but...after all, I just bothered her...and didn't she also say that no one gave her a gift...

"Here, a gift for you."

I took out the chocolate and handed it to her.

"Eh? Is that for me?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

Although I just decided to give it to you...

"Ah, thank...thank you..."

She actually stretched out her hands to take it.

"It's okay...it's just some giri chocolate..." I pretended not to care.

"Even so, I'm happy."

Is it because it's my first time receiving a gift from a boy... Well, never mind, let it be...

So... what should I give Yehui...

Chapter 18: Things We Value

People really can't understand each other...

I came to understand this deeply when I was reviewing some applications.

Humans are selfish creatures... They always want to change the environment to what they want, and they are convinced that others will agree with them, so they don't consider other people's feelings at all.

For example, when I was marking papers, I saw quite a few conflicting requests... For example, requests for freedom of dating and requests for stricter controls on premature love... Another example was requests to extend club activities and requests to close a club...

There were so many contradictions that I even began to feel it was a miracle that there were no factions fighting each other in the school.

Compared to me who was at a loss when looking at these documents, Lin Yi handled them without any hesitation.

As for the reason, that is...

"When you can't make the right decision, just follow the rules."

Therefore, it is natural to reject the application for freedom of love, refuse to extend club activities, and refuse to close the club... Options like these are actually that simple to handle.

Because it is much easier to follow the rules than to think deeply, and besides, these proposals are somewhat unreasonable.

But this is just a student proposal. If it were to rise to a societal level... would it really be as simple as just following the rules?

"If we just follow the rules... it would be harmonious, yes... but wouldn't that be too robotic?"

Ye Hui said this after hearing my question.

Oh... that's true... If we just follow the rules, then the world would only be populated by people who follow the rules. While there wouldn't be any major chaos, there wouldn't be any major disruptions either. If things continue like this, it'll be over sooner or later... Well, there's no unified answer to this question yet... or rather...

For questions that don't have clear answers, everyone's answers won't be the same.

"So...what are you doing today?"

After chatting about some things, I finally plucked up the courage to say this to Ye Hui.

"...I still have a little homework to finish...but what is it?"

Homework... What the hell is homework? Can I eat it?

"Well... you see, today is a holiday... you gave me this scarf at Christmas, so I wanted to take this opportunity to return the favor..."

Actually, I just wanted to give chocolate to someone, and I gave it to them on a whim.

"Oh... is that so?" Ye Hui thought for a moment, "Actually, when I gave you a gift, didn't I already receive a gift in return?"

Return the favor? If you mean the hug...

"No... I always feel that way... too bad..." I scratched my cheek, "Well... that's how I feel..."

"There's nothing I can do..." Ye Hui sighed, "If this can make you feel better..."

"Many thanks!"

"Thank you or something...it's you who gave me the gift..."

"Don't worry..." This is not the point at all, "Then, can you wait for me at home for a while?"

"Ugh?"

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

It was simply because I had just decided what gift to give Ye Hui, so I wanted to go buy it, but I felt it wouldn't be nice to have Ye Hui wait for me, so I wanted Ye Hui to go home first, and then I would go find her...

But thinking back, this sentence seems to have some bad connotations... What was I thinking...

Well, although Yehui's expression was a little puzzled, it seemed that he understood correctly... I wonder what would happen if the target was Rinquanchuan... He would probably get beaten...

As for gifts, I think Ye Hui really likes painting, so he should like things with artistic atmosphere... So it would be better to give him glass crafts. Plush toys are too vulgar.

"Hmm..." I thought back to the nearby craft store.

There seems to be a shop around the corner...

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

"welcome."

The store is not very big, so the only person who greeted me seemed to be the owner, who is also a part-time salesperson. He looked like a relatively young man, wearing black half-frame glasses. His clothes were not very trendy, but had a classical feel.

Maybe because it was already late, there were not many people in the store.

"Oh... hello..."

Since he was also a man and there were not many people around, he responded appropriately.

"Do you want to send me flowers? I think roses are the best. I have some..."

"No..." I denied. "Even though I think saying it would offend some people, I still feel that flowers are a bit tacky..."

"..." The shop owner smiled after hearing this, "That's right..."

This shop owner seems to be a very talkative person...

“....." I looked at the merchandise displayed around me.

"Are you giving it to your girlfriend?" The owner asked, as if he felt that I had not made up my mind.

"Well... let's put it that way..."

"That's great... She usually likes art, right?"

Then he walked out of the counter.

"Well... since she's an art student... I don't think she'd be very interested in flowers..."

I scratched my cheek and said... a little embarrassed...

"That's so thoughtful and considerate..." He searched among several handicrafts, "Then I recommend this as a gift."

As he said this, he took down a glass craft.

“It looks good…”

Although the shape is a little hard to describe, I always feel that it is very powerful.

"This is a variation of the word 'love'..." the owner explained to me.

"Alas..." I always feel that this...is not suitable.

"It's too early to say love now..." I hesitated whether to buy it.

"...Is that so..." He nodded, "Since you think it's inappropriate, then let's change it to this..."

Then he took off another one.

"Although the shape doesn't have any meaning, it's just for looks, but it has an hourglass effect... Look."

Then he demonstrated it to me.

"That's not bad...what's the meaning?" I asked.

"Meaning..." He thought for a moment, "I don't know, but meaning is not something people add themselves." The owner smiled at me.

"That's right..." I stopped hesitating and said, "Then this one will do."

"Well... let me help you pack it."

"Ah... excuse me..."

"You are welcome."

. . . . . . . . . .

Okay, the gift has been purchased, and now it's time to give it to Ye Hui... I think she will like it...

"Actually, the price of this gift is the same as the flowers or chocolates you gave."

The shop owner said this to me when he collected the money.

But I don't understand what this sentence means.

"That is to say... as long as it's you, any gift you give to a girlfriend who truly loves you is priceless to her."

That's quite true... But that's only true for girls who like me...

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

"Sheji...you...are you running here?"

Looking at me panting, Ye Hui asked me worriedly.

"Hmm..." I replied briefly and handed her the gift.

"Thank you." She took the gift.

"Happy Valentine's Day."

Running is really tiring... As for the reason... it was because when I bought the gifts and was leaving the house, I suddenly saw Senior Sun. In order to prevent him from asking me about the gifts, I pretended not to see him. Even though I heard him calling me, I still ran away without looking back.

"Then...goodbye."

I said as I prepared to turn and leave.

"Sheji, wait a minute."

Ye Hui called me and suddenly turned back into the house.

"....?"
