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

"Yeah, that's right!"

Why did you nod at this time?

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

"Where have you been? You haven't moved even though it's poisonous."

I just sat down in front of the computer when I heard Liu Yan's complaints.

"Ah... sorry, just now Ling... ahem, someone came to my house, so I went to open the door."

"Is that so... But then I'll be the only one driving away... You might as well have given me that 4x scope from the beginning."

"Don't talk about this kind of thing at a time like this. How petty are you?"

While I was dealing with Liu Yan's complaints, I also had to worry about Ling Can's every move... I always felt that she would find something in my room like Ye Jin did.

"Oh, you actually have a PS4 at home, but why hasn't it been unpacked?" She found the game console that Rinquanchuan gave me on my bookshelf... It turned out to be called PS4... Only now did I realize that the logo on it really looked like letters.

"I don't know anything about consoles... this was given to me by someone else."

"No way..." Her face was filled with shock. "A console worth thousands of dollars is just given away like that... It seems to be someone rich... Wait, it can't be Rinquanchuan, right?"

"...Yes, that's right."

Speaking of the rich people around me, there would be no one else except her...it's really easy to guess.

"Oh, you're really wasting... wasting what gift?" She looked at me with disdain. "I clearly gave it to you, but now you don't even play with it and leave it here gathering dust."

"In that case, I'll give it to you." I don't care. If Lingcan really understands it, then let this poor guy follow someone who truly understands it, so that I don't have to stare at it in a daze occasionally.

"...It's a shame, I already have one," she said, putting the box back where it belonged. "But I wouldn't want it even if I didn't."

"Why?" I asked casually.

"Why... you really need to open your mind." She sighed helplessly and tapped her head with a finger. "That was her gift. If you just give it away like that... you're really annoying. And if Rinquanchuan finds out, who knows?"

"..."

Come to think of it, I might not get to see her this summer. She might be traveling somewhere with her family... Hokkaido, Hawaii, or the Maldives? Well, places like that I might never get to visit in my lifetime, so maybe she's tired of them. Or maybe it's somewhere I've never even heard of.

Damn, it’s nice to have money.

"What are you daydreaming about? The parachute jump has already started."

Liu Yan's reminder suddenly sounded in the headset.

"oh oh..."

I quickly pressed the F key, but my parachuting was still much slower than others. When I landed on the ground, two people came to me with shotguns.

"Wow... He was killed as soon as he landed." Ling Shen, who came over from the side, exclaimed, "I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect to see it in reality... In real life."

"Shut up..."

I already feel very uncomfortable.

"Come to think of it, don't you feel bored playing games all day?" Ling Can suddenly brought up this topic, which surprised me a little... In my impression, she should like games very much.

“…boring…”

I don't know, because it seems to me that the games I play now are just to pass the time... and to deal with Liu Yan's repeated requests.

"I've been playing games at home these past few days, and honestly, I'm tired of it." She leaned closer to me again, "So seeing you playing games is kind of boring too, so why don't you join me..."

"Wait, I think I heard it again..."

"Hmm? What did you hear?"

"Knock on the door."

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

[Easter eggs?]

"Master, let's forget about it this time. I also made mistakes." After being knocked down, Liu Yan said to Yi Sheji on the other side of the headset with some annoyance.

"Shut up..."

"Ah... well, that's just my style..."

In fact, Sheji was only talking to Lingcan.

"How about we jump to P City this time?"

"...boring..." This answer came from the headphones.

"...What about the shooting range?"

“…”

"Here then, it's time to jump."

Sheji happened to hear the command to jump, so he jumped with him.

"Then I'll go search over there..."

"Wait, I think I heard it again..."

"Hey? Master, what did you hear?" Liu Yan was startled again. He looked around hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no one around. "Really? Please don't scare me, okay?"

"..."

"Master, have you found the scope or the level 3 bag?"

"Master, did you see anyone coming? I have one here."

"Sheji! Someone is coming towards me! I only have a pistol!"

"You're not far from me. If you have a spear, come and help me, Sheji!"

"Hey! Sheji, are you there?!"

The Lonely Companion

Have you forgotten something?

A white short-sleeved shirt with a sky-blue ribbon at the collar. From under a dark blue skirt, slender thighs peeked, the familiar curve of her legs draped in white school socks. This was clearly a school uniform design... Needless to say, the style alone clearly revealed who the visitor was.

The person I thought I would only have the chance to see when school started...just showed up at my doorstep.

This is not good. This is really some kind of love game.

"Sheji, I'm here to play with you~"

Ye Hui, who was standing at the door, smiled at me and waved his right hand, then put his hand back on the schoolbag that he had originally held with both hands.

That’s great... If the person who came to see me a few days ago was not my senior but Yehui or Lingcan, I wouldn’t have encountered such troubles.

"Well, welcome."

As she spoke, her eyes strayed towards a familiar object, a schoolbag hanging from Ye Hui's legs. She often saw it after school, and usually, she would hold it with both hands, placing it near her legs. But, it should be summer vacation now, so why was she carrying a schoolbag? Was she coming to my house at this hour to do homework? But we weren't in the same class, so the homework should be different. Or was she attending cram school and just stopped by to say hello?

"Oh, this is the original manuscript of the comic." Seeing that my expression was a little dull, she seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, so she took the initiative to explain it to me.

"I see..."

It's been so long that I forgot about it. We clearly agreed to create a miracle... Well, please forgive me.

I clasped my hands together slightly.

"If you don't have anything to do today, why don't we think about the sequel together..."

"Is anyone here?" Ling Can, who was following behind, suddenly poked his head out from beside me. This action naturally interrupted Ye Hui's words, and the two of them naturally looked at each other.

"Oh, Miss Ling is here too? Long time no see." Ye Hui's reaction was very normal, and he greeted her naturally.

"Huh? What young lady? Do I look old?" Although it was a question, it was directed at me.

"...I think some people think you're mature, so it's better to be happy."

"..Hehehe." Along with her perfunctory laughter, my back was pinched hard.

"Uh..." I turned my head to look at her, and she had a confused expression on her face, "What's wrong?"

"No...it's okay..." But why don't you let go...

I then realized that Ye Hui was still outside the door, so I made way for him and said, "Then please come in quickly."

"Sorry to bother you..." After saying this softly, Ye Hui slowly walked into the corridor of my house, "Come to think of it, aren't Sheji's parents at home? It's better to say hello when you suddenly visit..." Ye Hui said and followed us into the living room.

"Oh, my parents are not at home." I responded lightly.

"Well, it seems he is on a business trip." Ling Can added as if he knew the situation.

"..." Can you please say less? I told her with my eyes.

"..." However, I read three words from her eyes of different colors... [What do you care?]

This guy...what on earth is he thinking?

"That's really unexpected. If you don't mind, could you tell me when Ling Shen came? And what was he doing just now..."

Ye Hui asked casually.

"Ah, this guy is..."

"Hehe, I came here very early." Ling Can took over my words with a proud look on his face...it would be more appropriate to say that he snatched it away.

"Mmmmm, it's early, but actually I've only been here for about ten minutes."

"That was just..." Ye Hui repeated the question.

"I was just in Sheji's room..."

"Play games." I interrupted her.

"game?"

Ye Hui probably doesn't know much about games, so this kind of inquiry is probably just out of habit.

"I'm eating chicken." Aya replied.

"Hmm? Huh?"

"Don't use such a misleading name!"

Chapter 22: Have I Forgotten Something?

After spending a few minutes explaining why the game had such a name, the misunderstanding was finally resolved... I had thought she wouldn't misunderstand me. Was it really because of Ling Shen?

“The room was surprisingly clean...”

Yehui sighed after entering my room.

"Hmm..." How should I respond... "I'm sorry it's not as messy as I expected" is definitely not a good response. "There won't be any unhealthy books here" also feels like I'm trying to cover up my mistake.

However, while I was thinking about it, the topic had already changed.

I'm curious about what Ye Hui imagined my room to be like. Was it messy? No one would believe this, but ever since I realized that my room might be entered by girls other than Ye Jin, I've taken the initiative to clean it up. Of course, I'm not exactly thick-skinned.

“Just sit anywhere...”

After I finished speaking, I returned to my computer to check the battle situation and found myself already on the main interface. After trying to contact Liu Yan...

"Master, where were you just now?" He didn't sound angry with me. "I thought you had suddenly passed away. I was thinking if I won the game, I would call an ambulance for you."

This guy is still a little angry after all.

"Sorry, there were guests at home suddenly, so I went downstairs to open the door."

"Is that so... Then let's get together later..." "No, I have to log off first. Let's talk when I have time."

Let me be clear, this is not about prioritizing love over friendship.

Putting aside the question of whether Liu Yan and I are friends, he actually had to sit in front of the computer and play games when a girl was visiting. Not to mention whether he would be lonely for the rest of his life, he still needed to have at least some emotional intelligence.

“...Oh~~? I understand~” After thinking for a while, Liu Yan seemed to understand something.

Wow, what's this disgusting tone...

"Then Master, please pay attention. I won't bother you anymore."
