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

This tone...even though it's been so many years, I still remember it.

Because I have said such things before.

"I'm not lying to you... Listen to me, tell me where you are first, and then we'll go and persuade your parents together..."

"enough!"

After the roar, there was the sound of the phone being hung up.

"Hello! Hello!" Although I knew it was futile, I still shouted into the phone, hoping that the call would be connected... and then find out where he went.

"Teacher! I know where that guy is, come with me quickly!" As he said that, a figure ran past me.

Ah, that guy... I know him. I called his name wrong earlier, so I have a vague impression of him. But... what did he just say? He knows where it is? Why... I clearly haven't told anyone.

"Teacher! If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Completely ignoring the gazes of those around him, he faced me and shouted again. Those eyes, which I had always thought were lifeless, now shone with a resolute look, a look I had seen before, but never again.

The first time I saw it was when I swore in front of the mirror that I would love sports for the rest of my life.

"Trust me! Go!"

That’s right, that’s the look of someone who believes in something.

A precious and unattainable look...

"Well, here I come!" I said as I reached him in one stride, "I'm very fast, you better run faster."

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

Human potential is truly limitless, otherwise how could I possibly be running neck and neck with my PE teacher down the street?

Although she must have been slacking off, I was already convinced that I was running faster than any time before.

"You said... you know where he is, do you know him?!"

Because he was running, talking would interrupt his breathing rhythm. But Mr. Zheng asked questions as if nothing had happened.

"Ah... well... although I don't know you... but... I saw you... going to the hotel yesterday, and considering the information you accidentally revealed to me today... I guessed that you might be dealing with... something related to the school team members!"

Why do I have to talk so much? My lungs are already starting to hurt prematurely.

"But... you know that now? Are you... some famous detective?!"

Why are you complaining at this time?

"It's just luck! Just luck!" I felt that my steps were gradually unable to support me and my speed began to slow down.

"What's wrong?" The teacher also noticed this and unconsciously slowed down his pace and looked at me.

"I can't... hold back just because I want to look cool..." As if exhausting all my strength, I said my own inference, "Just like what happened to the teacher! That guy must be right there on the bridge... I must find him!"

"How come you know everything?!"

The teacher with the shocked face has a very cute contrast...

"I don't know everything! I just...know what I know!"

It's so cool to be able to say such a line in my lifetime!

"So..."

"Don't worry, he must have the same idea as his teacher at that time." So there is no need to worry that he will choose to dance somewhere else.

"...I understand. I'll go first!"

Looking at the teacher running away quickly, my feet seemed to have lost their bones and immediately became weak, and my steps gradually became staggering.

No need to work hard anymore...

There's a danger of falling down at any moment...but it seems I don't need to worry.

As my pace slowed and I leaned forward, I felt a gentle touch on my chest, and then I felt my body supported. A faint fragrance flooded my olfactory system, and I suddenly felt much more at ease.

"Really? You're still so messy, always alone..."

It seemed like the driver had caught up with me. At that moment, Rinquanchuan had already appeared in front of me, and it seemed that he was going to support me, but now he just hugged me gently.

“…There are a lot of people watching.”

Especially the smiling female driver in the car...

"I know..."

But she didn't leave.

"You guys actually know about this, right?"

I put forward my own conjecture.

"...Um."

Also received a positive response.

"What?... Then just tell me directly. Why are you pretending to be ignorant?"

Although the acting is not very good.

"...You're always alone."

“…”

She slowly loosened her arms around me, and after I stood still, she took two steps back and looked at me.

His face no longer had the same indifferent expression, but was now frowning, as if he was complaining.

"We...even if it's accidental, no matter what we do...I just want to accomplish something with you."

It seems to be true... Once I decide to help someone, I tend to ignore the club's affairs...

"...Feel sorry."

It might not be of any use, but since it can't be repaired... I can only apologize.

"I'll forgive you this time." She lowered her head and tapped my chest lightly with her fist.

"Then, let's go together and witness... the outcome of this matter."

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

After running for a while on the river bridge connecting the two districts, I gradually saw clearly the young man squatting by the railing and staring blankly into the distance.

Are you hesitating...

The feeling of losing your dreams and giving in to reality is definitely not pleasant...

But even so, I still chose this place.

Compared to jumping off a building, the chance of being rescued is much greater if you jump into the water.

The desire to be rescued is due to a dream that cannot be abandoned.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't erase the glimmer of hope in my heart. As long as I believe, it will come true.

I already know.

A curve that brings trouble and harm to those around you can't be beautiful. But as long as you express your own ideas, your own stubbornness, or your own persistence... and make those who don't trust you believe in you, then you can definitely change something.

What convinces others is not a lot of big talk or real-life examples...but...

"You boy! Lift your head!"

When I was far away from him, I shouted at him.

"teacher...?"

He seemed surprised at how I found my way here, and then he seemed to sense that something was wrong and tried to climb over the guardrail to threaten me.

"Don't come over! I..."

"Do you think this trick..." I ignored his words and rushed towards him, "can work on me?!"

"Don't...pass..."

Even as he said that, his body had already automatically climbed down from the railing... What a weak guy.

"You bastard, bite your teeth!"

It's not about trusting me, nor trusting others. It's about... trusting yourself!

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

Is this something we can talk about later?

After Rinquanchuan and I arrived, the teacher had already persuaded the boy who wanted to commit suicide by some unknown method.

No, maybe he simply didn't have the courage to jump.

After repeated persuasion from the teacher and the student's strong request, his parents finally agreed to let him continue with sports. The reason they stopped him was because his performance was not outstanding, and his parents misunderstood that he was using this as an excuse to avoid studying.

As a result, after the problem was resolved, he was free of the psychological burden and his sports performance became better and better.

What a joy.

The above information was provided by Mr. Zheng.

"Actually, Brother Nan was also involved..."

When I mentioned that incident by chance while playing games with Lingcan, I expressed another guess of mine.

"...Well, how did you know that?"

"Otherwise, how could you possibly have so much information?" He quickly unleashed a series of attacks. "Besides, Brother Nan and Teacher Zheng have a good relationship privately."

"...It would be nice if your IQ could be divided into other quotients..."

"...It was just luck."

"Your luck doesn't seem very good to me!"

As the familiar skills appeared again, the health bar of the character I controlled reached the bottom again.

"Ah... I lost again." Without a ripple, I picked up the teacup placed beside me and said to Rinquanchuan who was watching the game, "Can I have another cup?"

"...Um."

"Huh, teachers are also people who can't sit still."

I don't know why, but I always want to sigh.

"It's the same as yours."

“It’s too full…”

"Oh yeah, then I'll do it myself next time."

Anyway, it's back to normal time again.

The mood I want to show

"Did you do that extreme thing just to stick to your dream?"

When I casually mentioned what happened a few days ago, Ye Hui seemed to have some feelings about it. After all, that guy was her classmate. It made sense for his family to let him study hard, after all, he could inherit the family business. However, he himself had no interest in business.

"It's not so much that he's persisting in his dream, but rather that his parents rarely let him live his life according to his own ideas, so he's found an outlet for his rebellious nature."

After all, dreams are something that can easily change at this age, and even if there is one, it is only an ambiguous general direction.

Therefore, there are reasons and logic why adults do not respect children's opinions.

"Indeed...if parents are overly concerned, this phenomenon will indeed occur."

"Ah...my parents never really cared about me."

Is it because he's too busy with work to care about me, or is it because he's already given up hope on me...

“My parents are the same...”

"Ah, indeed... After all, it's a job that requires a lot of time to rest."

"But I can't say they ignored me. They did take my opinions seriously... When I said I wanted to learn painting, they agreed without much thought."
