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

"Of course not... That Luo Qinuo simply thanked him, as if she didn't realize that he was in the same class as her."

So we're in the same class... But it makes sense. After all, some people with low sense of existence often encounter these things... So it's understandable that they want to attract the attention of the opposite sex they like...

"That being said, I'm a bit slow..." I sighed, "So, what about the third thing?"

"...Well, actually, the third thing is an upgraded version of the first thing. But since he suddenly asked for her photo, we spent some time preparing."

Oh, this also explains the time difference between the first and second things... Well, they can imitate it to that level in such a short time, I have to say that they are really dedicated... It's just that their efforts are a bit too much.

"So... after being hit, Luo Qinuo was helped to the infirmary by the guy who asked for the commission?" I guessed.

"That's right, the young man has a bright future." She gave me a thumbs up.

"And then? Was it successful? Probably not..."

"Well, it didn't work, so that guy gave up hope and never came back...Haha, I really feel a little sorry for him, even though it wasn't our fault..."

That's right... Is it because of the inappropriate method, or is it because Luo Qinuo herself is too slow... or is it because the client's presence is too low...

"Now, can you tell me his name?"

I asked the president, who had never told me his name.

"...Of course you can, but I still want to ask, what are you going to do after you find him?"

What are you going to do?

Logically speaking... the case has been solved, the money has been found, and now I can just make up an excuse to appease Luo Qinuo and Lin Yi...

But, is that all that’s going to work?

"What are you going to do..." I rubbed my aching brow, "Actually, I'm not quite sure... But there are some things I must say to that guy."

"...Is that so?" The president seemed to understand something.

"Well then... I'll tell you his name, and where to find him now."

"Hey, is this really okay?" Xiao Yu still seemed a little worried.

"It's okay... I've already seen it." She looked at me and smiled. "This guy is actually just like us. He can't stand seeing others in trouble."

"No... I don't have such awareness... I was just forced to do it..." I quickly denied this statement.

What the hell... I'm not such a noble person...

"Oh... okay then..." She didn't emphasize further, "But before I tell you... would you like to join our club? I've always felt that your reasoning skills are quite good."

Ha...what is this...

"No, because I've already joined another club, and the club leader is just as troublesome as you."

"Really..." She was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Haha, in that case I won't force you. That guy's name is Li Minggu, and he's probably killing time in a nearby internet cafe right now... Well, let's go find him."

"Well, thanks."

I said and ran out the door.

Episode 10: The ending is never perfect

By the way...it's still hard to find someone if you only know their name but not their appearance..

And it’s in an Internet cafe... There are so many Internet cafes near the school, how can I find one... Do I have to check them one by one?

It always feels so troublesome.

. . . . . . . .

This is the last time...

After this time, I will never shout “Is Li Minggou here?” in front of everyone in the Internet cafe again.

So embarrassing...

So... take a deep breath...

"Is Li Minggou here?!"

...At this moment, a guy next to me suddenly raised his hand to me. "I am..." He looked me up and asked himself, "Do we know each other?"

. . . . . . . . .

"Ah...it's that thing...Actually, I've completely given up." After listening to what I said, he continued to manipulate the character he controlled in a depressed manner.

"After all, no one would pay attention to me..."

Well... to be honest... this guy is really not eye-catching, just ordinary... ordinary hairstyle, ordinary looks, and ordinary school uniform...

"Although I like the word 'give up' very much...I still think there is hope for you..."

"Ah?... Stop kidding, you're here to laugh at me, right? Someone like me who has poor grades and is ignored by others, what qualifications do I have to..."

Pretty self-aware...

"But it's everyone's right to have someone they like. Didn't you even try to get her photo?"

"..." He seemed to be stimulated by my words and accidentally pressed the flash button.

"Oh...I'm sorry." I felt a little guilty...a little.

"It's okay... Use it sooner rather than later..." He didn't react much.

"I understand how you feel, but... you need to understand one thing: do you simply like her, or do you want a closer relationship with her?"

"....What's the meaning?"

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

Everyone has someone they like.

Regardless of whether the object is a normal person of the opposite sex or a popular person of the same sex...what is the meaning of "liking"?

I just want to see that person, hope to have more contact, and feel happy if I can just say a few words...

If you only focus on what is in front of you, and only on what exists on campus, then it can only be called "liking".

If it's a more intimate relationship...let's call it "love".

Every couple talks about "love" all the time... saying "You can only love me."... but is this "love"?

Perhaps many people don’t know how heavy this word is.

Take games for example, liking games and loving games are completely different.

If you like games, you probably just play them for a while when you have nothing to do, but if you love games, you will treat them as a career and as your hobby... To put it bluntly, it means having a sense of responsibility.

And we...how much responsibility can we take now?

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

"Responsibility...?" He seemed lost in thought.

"Yeah... Just like the game you're playing right now... It's obviously a game that can only be won with five people working together. If no one's in charge, then the team isn't really a team anymore. And if someone says they're just playing for fun, without taking responsibility for others' feelings, then they're no longer a qualified gamer... People like them don't deserve to play online games; they're only fit to play single-player games at home."

"...There seem to be quite a few people like this..." He smiled.

"Yeah..." I sighed, "Just like you... there are many guys who like someone in high school."

"...Do you have someone you like?" he asked me.

".....Yes, I have."

"Oh, really?" He turned off the game that had already ended. "What kind of person is he?"

"How's it going... Very good, right? Do you know the last show at the cultural exhibition?"

"I know, that song is awesome...wait, is it one of the lead singers?" He looked at me in surprise, and his voice was so loud that others had to look in our direction.

I nodded and gestured for him to calm down.

"Oh..." He nodded, "Then...you guys..."

"We've known each other since junior high school... but due to some circumstances, we didn't intentionally apply to the same high school."

"...So...what is your relationship now?"

“....” What’s the relationship...I have never thought about this question.

"That's not important." I didn't answer his question. "We both know...we both like each other, but I...just liked each other before."

"Ah?...So...you dumped her?"

"That's not the way to say it... It's better to say... 'give up'."

"Isn't this different?" He frowned.

"It's different..." I sighed, and her face appeared in front of my eyes... Am I regretting it?

"Dumping someone... is irresponsible, something you do out of your own selfish opinions... whereas giving up on someone... is a thorough assessment of the differences between you and that person, and then deciding for yourself whether you're worthy of them... That's it."

"...So...you think you're not good enough for her, right?"

"...Yeah, she's amazing... She's beautiful, has a great figure, and sings really well... She can definitely find a partner of her level. Why should I be an obstacle for her?"

...Yeah, I almost forgot...I am just a mortal...

"Oh, I see..." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a photo...it was indeed Luo Qinuo's.

"...As for me...I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. It's really inexplicable..."

Oh... such a cliché...

"Well... I know I have a lot of rivals in love... But now it seems that I'm not even a match for others... Besides, I don't have any qualifications or ability to make someone happy... I can't even do well in the exams to make my parents happy... As expected..."

"In that case, just let others help you." I interrupted him. "If you believe in giving up like I do, you can indulge yourself and waste time. But if you still have some ambition... then make sure you can take on enough responsibilities."

"...Wh...what do you mean?"

This guy is really... as slow as Luo Qinuo...

"Still asking... Isn't the only thing you need to work hard on right now... studying?"

"...Huh? Are you telling me to study hard?"

...Judging from his expression...

This guy probably isn't the type to study hard... Well, that's fine... This guy is beyond saving... Even if there was a way, I wouldn't bother saving him...

Give up on this hopeless guy and save me some of my limited energy.

【Little Easter Egg】

"..."

After the guy named Yi Sheji left, the president of the Cooperation Society: Tongyou looked at his assistant...Xun Yu.

"You think I'm a troublesome guy, too?"

“…I never said that…”

"...You still think I'm troublesome, don't you?"

“…A little bit.”

"...A little?"

"....Um."

Xun Yu [Dead]...Just kidding.
