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

Everything I did was not to please my predecessors, but to satisfy myself.

"Just follow my choice..."

Go find the person you like, tell her that I like you, and keep her by your side... That's all it takes, no other words are needed, and no preparation is required.

But...

Why do you have to make excuses that you don't even understand... I can't wait any longer.

I desperately want to know the answer.

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

[Easter egg?]

"Hah~yawn~~"

In the blink of an eye, our Japanese swordsman was swiftly killed by the giant centipede's attack. His body trembled slightly, and with trembling hands, he managed to control the urge to throw the handle aside.

"Ahhh...it seems...I'm really sleepy."

Or maybe... it's because of spiritual boredom.

After hastily pressing the ○ key a few times to confirm, Ling Cankong rubbed his sore eyes with his right hand. After all, yawning while fighting Nioh was a difficult feat, and he could clearly feel his reflexes failing to keep up with the monster's movements. Continuing like this would only bring him unhappiness.

"Hmmmm..."

After saving the file, she skillfully turned off the PS4 and then stretched her body, which had not moved for almost a day.

"If I keep going like this, I'll get fat..."

She looked down at her exposed belly with some concern, but did not find a trace of fat.

"Hmph..."

Perhaps because her slim waist had restored her confidence, she felt a little proud. However, when she thought about being able to see her belly button without any obstruction, she suddenly felt a little unhappy.

“Holidays are so boring…”

She collapsed on the sofa, looking at the various takeout packages and empty drink cans on the table, and always felt that she was moving towards being a stay-at-home person.

And even if Ye Jin from downstairs came to play with her, she would still feel a little empty.

She forced herself not to think about that man, but found herself already thinking about him.

"...Ah...I'm so annoyed..."

She picked up the drink she had taken out of the refrigerator beside her a few minutes ago and slowly walked towards her balcony.

It was already early morning and the street lights had gone out one after another. Only the occasional passing vehicles could bring a ray of light.

She stared blankly in the direction of his house, sipping her drink and letting the slightly cool breeze play with her hair.

"It's no big deal if I happened to go shopping with him."

He can't be busy... Humph, he must be playing games every day like me, so he must not be busy.

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

Seeing the alarm clock on the table pointing to 12, Ye Hui finally put down his pen. The table was cluttered with reference books, drafts, and finished works, as well as the character designs that Sheji had praised.

Rubbing her eyes a little, Ye Hui began to tidy up the things on the table. Even if she needed them tomorrow, she still had to sort them out out of habit.

Looking back, I was busy until late at night these past few days. Fortunately, my parents didn't object, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed up so late.

"You'll become nearsighted if you keep going like this..."

She was a little worried.

"I wonder if he'll like glasses...ah..."

After realizing that he was distracted, Ye Hui quickly shook his head, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Every time he thought of him, he would have this reaction.

"alright..."

It didn't take long for the table to be cleared, so she turned her head and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window beside her. The world outside the window was already dark, which meant that the whole city had fallen asleep.

On a whim, she opened the door to the balcony.

The uniquely cool breeze of summer evenings blew by. Although not as cold as the cold air from the air conditioner, it didn't feel uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because it was naturally generated...

When he realized it, Ye Hui found himself staring blankly in the direction of his home.

"...Come to think of it, he hasn't been here for a long time."

And I didn't take the initiative to look for him.

Thinking back, the progress of my comics and the subsequent stories have not been discussed yet, and the plots that can be completed are getting fewer and fewer. In other words... it's time to discuss the next plot.

There should be a lot of free time during the summer vacation, but it has been almost a week and the vacation still doesn't seem to be coming.

"Could he have forgotten..." Ye Hui muttered to himself, "Maybe he's too busy..."

However, what came to mind at this moment was the scene where he often forgot that I was waiting for him after school. From this point of view, it was not impossible that he had forgotten this matter.

"Ugh..."

I sighed slightly. After all, the chance to walk home with him was gone. Thinking about it this way, summer vacation didn't seem so good after all.

"Then... there's nothing we can do."

The deadline is approaching, and it's not a good idea to wait any longer. So, I'll just go and find him tomorrow.

After making this decision, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the finished drawing, and her heart suddenly began to palpitate inexplicably.

Just...discussing what's going to happen next.

Yeah, it's just about the comics.

Accidentally overlooked information

Have I been too tired recently?

"Haa ...

Through bleary eyes, the familiar ceiling came into view again. I turned over and glanced at my phone. It was already 9:11 AM. After habitually clearing the various overnight news push notifications, I finally rubbed my eyes.

There is a basis for saying that I am tired.

After parting with my senior yesterday, I was walking home on the long, winding road, but sleepiness gradually enveloped me. My mind went blank, and I automatically ignored everything that happened along the way. When the fatigue wore off and I regained my consciousness, I found myself collapsed on the sofa at home.

So I went upstairs and continued to sleep.

"Is it all because of senior..." I scratched my hair, which felt very messy.

I have been busy with his affairs for a long time... I really hope he can find his own happiness, and then there will be no such troublesome things around me.

"So..."

Just relax a little today.

Chapter 21 Information accidentally overlooked

It's summer vacation, but Mom and Dad aren't taking a break... No wonder they often say they miss school. Well, that's usually interpreted as a plea for students to study hard, but I think school life is about more than just studying. Maybe Dad just says that to reminisce about his first love... and to encourage him to study.

But after work, they are not so free and easy. In today's world where the Internet is so developed, they naturally lack a lot of entertainment and fun because they can't even use smartphones well. So it is normal for them to lament the past.

“It’s great to be young…”

A sense of superiority arises spontaneously.

Then I saw pictures of my parents’ trip in the circle of friends on an app that I don’t use often. It was yesterday at noon.

"So the business trip you mentioned was fake..."

I was wondering why they, contrary to their usual practice, left me extra money for takeout. It turned out it was just to make up for their guilty conscience... Then they should remember to block me when posting photos... Never mind, it looks like they won't do that.

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

"I picked up a 98K. Master, do you have an 8x scope?"

Liu Yan's question came from the headset.

"No... I only have four times the power, and I didn't pick up any longer guns..." His fingers, which were very sensitive when playing moba games, suddenly failed in this crappy game, and his shooting skills were so bad that even a close-range shot would miss.

"I'll come to you right away. You won't be able to use your mirror anyway."

“…” Although I was speechless, I still felt a little unhappy.

Then, a series of noises were heard in my ears.

"Is someone shooting?" I asked, "But why is the sound of gunfire..."

"Not at all, don't scare me." Liu Yan replied to me after a while, still feeling a lingering fear, "Master, did you hear it wrong?"

"No..." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a series of noises and a familiar voice... "Sheji! Come out!"

"I know, someone is coming...I'll go open the door." I said as I was about to take off my headphones.

"Hey, someone's coming and you're actually going to open the door..."

"Someone came to my house!"

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

"How slow! Too slow! You're making a lady like me scream at the top of my lungs. This is a crime."

After I opened the door, Lingcan, who was wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts, complained to me angrily. Her faintly exposed fangs always made me feel that she looked cute even when she was angry.

She seemed to want to poke me in the chest while scolding me, but when she realized she had to raise her arm to do so, she lightly punched my stomach instead.

"Hmm... Why did you think of looking for me today..."

Even though it didn't hurt...but after being hit by her little fist, I couldn't help but rub it...

"ha?!"

The unintentional question seemed to anger her again. Her already frowned brows tightened even more, and she took a step towards me.

"Didn't I send you a message?! Don't you even check your phone?"

"what..."

Now that I think of it, I vaguely remember that the information seemed to have been hidden along with the news.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Anyway, please come in first." I scratched my cheek embarrassedly and made way for her.

"Huh... really..." She didn't complain any more and followed me into the living room.

"Are uncle and aunt not here?" She looked at the somewhat quiet living room. "Are they still resting?" Then she looked in the direction of my parents' room.

"No...I'm working overtime...um...on a business trip."

I responded absentmindedly, heading towards the kitchen, "Want a drink?"

"Oh~ Is there Saddam?" she asked.

“Only carbonated drinks,” I responded.

"Oh, forget it. I heard that kind of drink will affect the absorption of calcium, and in serious cases it may affect your height. You should keep it for yourself. I don't want to become a dwarf like you in the future." She waved her hand with disgust.

“…”

I don't think she has any right to say that to me.

"So...want to come to my room?"

I suddenly remembered that I was still playing with Liu Yan. If nothing unexpected happened, I would have been finished after staying there for so long.

"Huh?!" When I saw the panic expression on her face, I realized that she had misunderstood.

"You... you... how despicable... you want to do whatever you want while your parents are not at home..."

"What's going on in your head..." I opened the bottle cap skillfully. "I mean, I'm playing games in my room by myself. Do you want to join me..."

"Hmm? Is that so... Tsk, ahem, why didn't you say so earlier?" She seemed to remember that she was a lady today and immediately calmed down. A worrying look suddenly appeared on her face, and her cheeks turned a bright red, as if she was in the role. "But... isn't it a bit... for a girl to enter a boy's room..."

...I don't know how to respond. I guess that's what the term "drama queen" refers to.

"If you don't tell me, no one will know."
