Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

After entering the teaching building with Mahiru, the two of them went to their respective classes.

At this moment, Su Qing was sitting in his seat doing nothing.

To be exact, he was thinking back to the look Mahiru gave her when she walked into her classroom not long ago.

The other person's cute little face was full of loneliness, which Su Qing saw clearly.

But perhaps he didn't want Su Qing to worry, so that expression only flashed by for a moment.

However, after seeing Mahiru like that, Su Qing turned back uncontrollably, and then touched Mahiru's head while she was stunned.

The force is very light and the time is very short.

Even so, Mahiru could still clearly feel Su Qing's "concern".

[Don’t look so lonely, I’m here]

Mahiru could see through Su Qing's eyes and knew with absolute certainty that this was what the other party wanted to express.

"I'm here" was not a perfunctory response made subconsciously out of consideration that Mahiru was a nuisance.

“I want to be lonely in a place where I can’t see you.” This is how most people express their boredom.

For Su Qing, it was a way of conveying a sense of security to Mahiru by saying "I'm here, so please don't feel lonely."

[I feel like… whether it’s the contract with Mahiru or other similar agreements, there seem to be more and more of them.]

At that time, there were only a few students arriving in the classroom, and he and Mahiru were the first to arrive.

Su Qing sighed softly for no reason in his seat.

When people get along with each other, they can't help but develop a certain connection. When this connection reaches a certain level, it can be called a "bond."

People like Hayama and Haruno who have a wide range of friends will naturally form many bonds.

People like Su Qing and Yawata, who have few friends, will naturally form fewer bonds.

Although there are many of the former, they often only remain at the most superficial level.

Although the latter are few in number, they are enough to attract others.

[Live a little easier?]

For the first time, Su Qing seriously thought about the dean's final instructions to him.

Does it mean giving up the search for the real thing?

Or are you determined not to worry even if you can't find it?

Speaking of which…after finding the so-called “real thing”, what should he do with the rest of his life?

Return to the Dean?

But the dean is dead.

Even if we establish a special relationship, it is just to support each other for a while in that relationship.

Lonely? Lonely?

These genetic information engraved in the species' DNA seemed to be peeled off from Su Qing.

So, he actually couldn't understand Mahiru's lonely expression just now.

Therefore, Su Qing thought that he did not need such support and restraint.

Every person you meet in life is actually like raindrops falling on the window.

Some raindrops are small and fall slowly.

Some raindrops are large and fall quickly.

but.

Ultimately, you always have to leave.

And after we leave, there will be a steady stream of new rain from the sky breaking into our world.

Whether you like it or not, accept the rain that has passed.

God still acts without any regard for others.

It won't even give you time to breathe.

So, we can only keep walking and walking.

There is no way to keep you, no time to look back, no time to be sad.

But Su Qing is not like that.

He is too sober.

So much so that he won't try to keep her, won't miss her, and won't cry.

He would just stand there quietly and let everything happen.

So, he is awake.

The regrets that cannot be retained, the pain and sorrow that cannot be missed, are precisely what belong exclusively to the heart.

Therefore, Su Qing lacks the existence called "heart".

Because of this, this clarity becomes a kind of stupidity.

And this stupidity is where his true distortion lies.

……

"Xiaoqing, hi~"

As soon as Yui entered the room, she noticed Su Qing who had sat down early, and greeted him happily.

"Why are you here so early today?" Su Qing asked casually.

Yui came unexpectedly early today; in the past she should have come later.

"Yeah! I got up a little early and did some work."

Yui put her schoolbag down and adjusted the chair towards Su Qing, then made an expression that said "quickly ask me what I did".

"I thought you were called up by your mother. After all, you usually come so late." Su Qing supported his chin with one hand and said disapprovingly.

“I, I set the alarm, okay?” Yui said angrily, “And I have nothing to do when I come so early…”

After that, Yui changed her original tone and became a little hesitant:

"If, I mean if, if someone agreed to go to school with me or something, I would definitely come early!"

"That's not the case." Su Qing denied, "People always look for people who are similar to themselves as companions."

"What do you mean?" Yui actually understood, but her habit of asking still made her ask out of habit.

"Even if someone makes an appointment with you to go to school, that person must like to sleep in as much as you do." Su Qing said directly.

"I, I didn't sleep in."

Yui's face turned red, not only because she was angry at what Su Qing said, but more because it was the truth.

Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

In response to Yui's sophistry, Su Qing just smiled faintly.

"Really, really not! At most I just got up a little late." Yui wanted to struggle a few more times.

In response to this, Su Qing just smiled faintly.

"Okay, I admit that I usually sleep in, but I can also get up early!" Yui made a final struggle.

Su Qing would be moved at this moment.

So, Su Qing smiled three times.

"Ah, idiot Xiaoqing!" Yui understood that Su Qing didn't believe her, and said madly with a bitter face, "I swear, I will get up early and come early starting tomorrow!"

"Don't force yourself like that." Su Qing advised kindly.

But such advice will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire for those who are emotionally agitated.

“And it has to last until graduation… Well, let’s talk about it after the end of sophomore year!” Yui continued to add buffs to her oath, but she didn’t seem to have the confidence to stick to it until graduation.

However, Su Qing felt that such a promise was more reliable.

At the very least, this proves that Yui has planned carefully.

"That's really remarkable."

One hand was getting tired, so Su Qing simply switched to the other hand.

"So I can also make an appointment with people who arrive at school very early."

Yui suddenly stuck her head out and stared at Su Qing with ill intent.

"Hmm...then what?"

"Then I want to ask Xiaoqing if she wants to go to school with me every morning!" Yui gave the final conclusion excitedly.

"No." Su Qing's rejection was like a bucket of cold water poured down Yui's head, causing her originally cute little face to fall all of a sudden.

"You're not going to my house to look for me. You just agreed in advance to wait for me at a certain intersection. If you can't wait, you can leave early and won't be late for school. And I will definitely wait for you five minutes, no! Ten minutes!"

Yui felt she had an obligation to express herself more clearly.

It’s not to increase the probability of Xiaoqing agreeing!

"Hmm...I see." Su Qing pretended to be silent.

"Yes, yes." Yui nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and then waited for Su Qing's answer with expectant eyes.

"It still doesn't work." Su Qing refused with a smile.

Now, Yui’s heart finally settled down.

If you die, you won’t have to worry about it anymore.
