At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Even if we take a step back and assume that the Yuan sisters, who came from a poor family, are far more approachable than the seemingly all-around excellent senior in the eyes of outsiders.

Yu tide also noticed this.

“My family background limited me. I completely understand now.”

"??"

【wrong.】

Su Che had a bad feeling.

really,

She replied without hesitation:

"Do I have to run away from home to successfully win over my junior?"

"........."

Su Che sighed, "Senior, you're not acting normally."

"Is there?"

"of course."

"Ugh."

Yu tide, wearing a silk nightgown, lay flat on the double bed, her eyes vacant, muttering to herself:

"I've heard that if you truly like someone, you'll disregard all external factors and try every means to be with them."

But my junior hasn't gone that far, which means he doesn't like me, and it's my own problem. In that case, even if he dislikes me, I shouldn't have any complaints. I know that.

"...I don't dislike it."

"Also, it's always been me who takes the initiative, and I've always been the one who's deluding myself. In fact, my junior has no feelings for me at all; he just wants to take advantage of me."

The promises made are all just a drop in the ocean, a distant solution that can't quench an immediate thirst.

I admit, seeing An Qing and the others eating and drinking well every day made me a little envious.

I also want to experience that kind of life, since no one dares to touch me at school or at home.

I'm like an old maid who hasn't been touched in ten thousand years. If this junior doesn't want me either, my life is completely ruined. I have no future.

"???"

Su Che opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He was at a loss, feeling that if he didn't do something soon, she would become withdrawn.

"Wait a minute, please wait a moment."

Recalling his initial intention to understand everyone's needs and advance their relationship, Su Che felt that Yu tide was going to develop an obsession with sexual attraction, and the current situation was clearly very serious and needed to be addressed.

"Senior, let's discuss this."

How do we handle it?

"You seem to have fallen into a misconception, thinking that as long as I have feelings for you, it proves my attractiveness, and you even feel anxious about it... Little do you know that my special case does not represent all men and women."

"Can't I?"

"Of course not!"

He sat up and asked seriously, "First, let me ask you, am I a normal person?"

"Yes."

"Am I normal?"

"That's normal."

"Say it again?"

"That's normal."

Yu tide looked puzzled, but her beautiful face held a serious expression as if she thought it was the right thing to do.

"Are you normal?"

"That's normal."

"."

Su Che understood.

The root cause lies in her flawed understanding.

He cleared his throat and explained seriously, "Then let me ask you again, have you ever carefully analyzed yourself?"

"Myself?"

"Ah."

"No."

"Right? You mostly live according to the opinions of outsiders, including relatives and family. The way they look at you and what they hope you will become will subconsciously make you become that kind of person."

Rather, this lifestyle, which has been brainwashed by societal norms, is precisely a major obstacle hindering your progress.

Su Che skipped class and said, "In my eyes, you are already excellent enough and perfect enough. You don't need to prove yourself, and you don't need to compare yourself with the other teammates."

Besides, haven't you already received almost all the "interest" I promised you? Does it have to be through a stab wound for it to be considered physical acceptance?

"correct."

"...?"

Su Che's expression froze.

Hesitant to speak.

[It's hopeless.]

He discovered that no matter what he said, Yu tide's mindset was very difficult to change.

She seemed convinced of one thing and wouldn't easily change her mind.

For example, the idea that "love must be genuine," otherwise it is not love and is a false emotion.

Similar views can even be extended to "if they are teammates, you must attack them," otherwise there is a lack of bond, and they are just superficial teammates.

If you think about this line of thought more deeply, it becomes terrifying—"You have to work your way up since you agreed to join my team," otherwise you are not sincere and you are deceiving me.

This line of thinking embodies the senior's core logic, and it's easy for big problems to arise if it's not corrected.

"...Okay, senior, I give up. I think the most important thing right now is for you to calm down and think about what you wanted in the first place."

He patiently continued trying.

"Oh, he's a junior."

"...No, it's Miya."

"He's a junior."

"It's Miya."

"He's a junior."

"Your mind is being controlled, senior, wake up."

"He's a junior."

"—"

Su Che gave up on treatment and stopped trying to persuade him.

Yu tide hugged the blanket, huddled by the pillow, and fell into thought.

She also found that she was never satisfied with her junior's attitude.

This dissatisfaction has seriously affected the relationship between the two, and it seems that they must break through that barrier before they can continue.

The problem is that she has anticipated that even if the truth is revealed, her desires will continue to escalate, and she will constantly seek new stimulation.

Will he be able to handle it by then?

People's threshold for pleasure increases over time. No matter what they do, once they experience pleasure, they want even more pleasure.

Once you've experienced it once, you'll want to experience it many more times, trying different ways to enjoy it from different perspectives.

This is a human weakness, a biological instinct.

However, my "instinct" seems to be more intense than that of the other cats.

Yu tide herself could also realize this.

"Senior, did you have a very repressed childhood?"

Su Che finally grasped the key point.

He saw the root cause of her illness.

"Hmm... When I was little, I was always a good princess at home, and I wanted to become a great pianist like my mother."

Yu tide leaned against the pillow, her arms wrapped around her knees, her long hair cascading down to her waist. In the dim midday light filtering through the curtains, she murmured softly:

"It wasn't until she divorced her father that I realized that no matter how well you play the piano, it doesn't necessarily guarantee a happy life."

"right."

"The old man wanted to prove himself, that even without formal education, one can raise a child who specializes in the arts."

I was thinking that I should try my best to make him less ridiculed and mocked in front of outsiders.

I don't know if I did the right thing, but in the blink of an eye, I've graduated from university and am already in my mid-twenties.

Yu tide looked down into the dark corner. "To be honest, I'm a little anxious."

"I see..."

"Hmm. I want to bring home a son-in-law who will satisfy them. But after listening to what my junior said, I think I might have been too hasty and presumptuous, and I didn't consider your feelings at all."

"Ah... no, wait a minute."

Su Che immediately realized what was happening and interrupted:
