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

"..." Rinquanchuan did not answer.

"Although they accidentally got separated from you, they are still worried about you," I continued.

Actually, I was the one who deliberately let the squad leader and the others leave. I'm sorry, Rinquanchuan.

"Really..." Still a cold reply.

"Actually, I am too. I'm worried about whether you can get along well with everyone."

Rinquanchuan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Ah, nothing." Rinquanchuan shook his head and quickened his pace.

"..." It seems to be working. "Hey, Rinquanchuan, you're probably not very good at sports, right? If you can't stick with it, don't push yourself so hard."

"Oh...ah, I'm not...so pathetic as to be worse than...lower animals..." Rinquanchuan's words became somewhat labored. It seems he really lacks exercise...

"Okay, don't push yourself like that." I took the backpack she was carrying and said, "It's only natural to let boys share the work."

Lin Quanchuan didn't say anything else, but silently slowed down his pace and walked side by side with me.

After walking like this for about ten minutes, Linquanchuan's breathing began to become a little rapid, and his steps became a little labored.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" I stopped and looked at the time.

【17:03】

"It's already five o'clock, and dinner time is six twenty. I guess the journey will still be long."

Lin Quanchuan said nothing and prepared to continue walking.

"Well, don't push yourself. Your legs will be sore tomorrow, which will affect your visit."

"....." Lin Quanchuan did not stop and stubbornly wanted to keep moving forward.

"Oh, oh, I really can't help you," I stuffed the backpack into her arms. "Here you go."

As I said that, I squatted down and said, "Come, I'll carry you."

"Hmm? Eh? Uh?!" Rinquanchuan was startled by my sudden action and made a sound that he would never make normally.

Pretty cute...

"Don't just stand there," I urged. "This is the only way. If you don't hurry up, you won't even be able to catch your meal. Besides, there's no one behind you now, so you don't have to worry about being seen."

"Ah...ah..." Rinquanchuan seemed still a little hesitant.

"Do you like to be held?"

"Are you stupid?"

"Well, President Rin, this is just a member's concern for the president. There's nothing special about it...Are you being too sensitive?"

"Hmm...that's really long-winded."

As he said that, Rinquanchuan seemed a little angry and lay on my back.

"Well, that's right," I adjusted my posture. "Keep your balance. Let's go."

I'm not saying anything, but Lin Quanchuan is so light... carrying him on my back doesn't feel like a burden at all, and because of his petite figure, it actually feels like I'm carrying Ye Jin on my back. However, my legs are aching slightly from the previous journey.

Rinquanchuan remained silent the entire time. I could only hear her breathing gradually steadying down. Her hands seemed to be squeezing my shoulders nervously.

"Well, once we get to the mountain, how are you going to face the squad leader and the others?" I started the topic.

"......" Rinquanchuan didn't answer, but I could feel that her hand holding my shoulder became more tense.

"Why do we have to remain in this state of no contact with others?"

“…” Still silence.

"If you don't want to answer, then listen carefully," I cleared my throat. "Your current situation isn't necessarily bad, but it's inevitable that people will interact with each other. Well, I used to be like you, not wanting to interact with anyone, believing that avoiding contact with others was the most important thing. But I want to tell you that you should change that mindset."

"Wow..." Rinquanchuan uttered an indecipherable interjection.

What kind of reaction is this... Does it mean you're listening to me? Well, let's continue.

"Relationships between people are truly troublesome and annoying. When interacting with others, you have to consider their feelings. A little carelessness could lead to hurting others or being hurt yourself. However, I think if someone initiates a conversation with you, it's better to respond. Instead of giving them a cold shoulder and rejecting them, you should respond with a more friendly attitude. If it's just a brief contact, you should be able to accept it, right?"

"Oh, what?" Rinquanchuan retorted somewhat unhappily, "Is this the only kind of truism you can offer? You've been saying so much, and in the end, it only applies to everyone who doesn't want to join the group, right?"

"No," I suddenly raised my voice, "I don't care about what others say, because it has nothing to do with me."

"But it's only because of you, only because the person is you, that I care about your feelings and say this to you."

Well, I've said something that could easily lead to misunderstandings. However, this will make it easier for Rinsenkawa to accept my proposal. It's just a little bit of a lie, so it won't have any impact, right?

However, perhaps because I had been walking for too long, the injury on my leg began to hurt, and I unconsciously changed my walking posture.

"......" Rinquanchuan was silent for a long time, then said to me: "If it's just a slight contact..."

"Ah, just a little contact is fine."

Tsk, what's going on... My legs are hurting more and more, seriously affecting my pace. Damn, they were fine when I was talking to Rinquanchuan.

"What's wrong?" Rinquanchuan seemed to sense something was wrong. "Is there something wrong with your leg?"

"Ah...it's nothing serious." I replied calmly, "It was just a slight bump, nothing to worry about."

"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Quanchuan said nervously, patting my shoulder. "I can't let you carry me anymore. Let me down quickly."

You think so much about me... I'm really touched, but I can't let you come down.

"Come on, calm down," I said to her, "It's just a little thing. You can distract me by talking to me or singing."

"Are you stupid? Let me down now!"

"I said I'd carry you up there, didn't I? Then let me keep my promise. This little thing is nothing at all." I added, "If you keep moving around, you'll be adding to my burden."

"Um... huh, whatever you want!"

Although he seemed a little angry, Rinquanchuan had stopped slapping me.

"Then... let me sing a song for you." Rinquanchuan said after a moment of silence.

"Um, okay."

"No interruptions and no comments."

"Okay, okay~"

"Hu~" Lin Quanchuan breathed out as if to calm down. I could clearly feel the weak air flow blowing on my neck, which made me feel itchy.

Then, a song rang out from my ears:

"桜色马うころ"

privy

Oshita chest に

Stand up and do your best.

When cherry blossoms fall

I am alone

With an unbearable mood

Always standing still]"

(The lyrics are from the Japanese song "桜色舞うころ". The Chinese translation will be displayed directly below. Interested readers can go and listen to it. It fits the current plot very well.)

I was very surprised by Rinquanchuan's voice, which was completely different from her usual accent.

I can't find words to describe the charm of her singing. It's just like the singing of the Sirens described in Greek mythology, so charming.

I have heard this song before and I like it very much. I would say I listen to it many times a day, so I am very familiar with the lyrics. Although Rinsenkawa sings it in Japanese, I can still understand the meaning.

When the color of the young leaves blooms

Thoughts began to churn

Lost everything

Flowing to you]

The beautiful lyrics and Rin Izumi's singing made me forget the pain in my leg temporarily and aroused my thoughts.

Speaking of which, when the cherry blossoms are flying, the pink and white petals dancing in the air are what a romantic scene it is... and they will flow to their loved ones with their own feelings.

However, when will the petal that belongs to me float before my eyes?

【Only the trees surrounding me

Staring at us

Also tell us

Life will not stop at a certain time.

The trees that surround us...

Are the trees growing around me gazing at us as we pass by? Have they been gazing at the people who pass by since the day they were born?

Because trees have experienced much longer years than humans, they can better appreciate the preciousness of time.

It is true that life will not always stay in a certain period of time, but we can turn it into precious memories, right?

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

Listening to the singing of Rinsen River, I temporarily forgot the pain in my legs and finally reached the top of the mountain at around 6:15.

"Okay," I put Rinquanchuan down from my back, "Now it's your turn to work hard and build good relationships with them."

"Ah, no need to remind me." Rinquanchuan said as he walked towards the hotel. "You should worry about your legs first, idiot."

Looking at Rinsenkawa's back, I couldn't help but laugh.

She's really not a cold person. It's worth it to expend energy for her.

If you give up your perverted remarks, we can still be good friends

Episode 19 [Training] If you give up your perverted remarks, we can still be good friends

"You're back. How's the progress?" Liu Yan, who was eating in the hotel's own restaurant, noticed that I had just returned.

"Well, it's okay." I replied weakly.

"It's a buffet restaurant. Choose what you want to eat. Don't forget to come back and find me."

"Oh." I responded and walked towards the place where the dishes were served not far away.

Because it was lunchtime, there were still quite a few people there. Looking at the crowded crowd, I was already physically exhausted from climbing the mountain, and I felt even more exhausted mentally. I even thought about giving up eating.

Just as I was about to turn back, a somewhat friendly voice called me:

"Sheji, come here!"

Well, he’s a senior.

I found his seat and discovered that there were other people with him, a man and a woman. It was not that I was unfamiliar with them. It seemed that I had met them last time when my senior invited me to join the club.

"You came just in time. We got an extra portion. We're glad to see you. If you don't mind, please eat with us."

Seeing that I was hesitant, the male senior beside me smiled and said to me: "Don't be polite, the president's juniors are our juniors, and this meal is free of charge."

"Then I won't be polite." I sat in front of my senior.

"Well, that's right," the senior said, then turned to the male senior on his left and said, "Introduce yourself to the junior."

"Okay," he said, looking at me. "I'm Jia Li Du from Class 4, Grade 2. You can call me a 'third-rate poet', since my name contains the surnames of three famous poets from different schools of thought. But I personally haven't achieved much in poetry."

This senior wore black-rimmed glasses and had short, slightly brown hair that was combed neatly. He even insisted on wearing a school uniform when he came out for the camp. He seemed like a person who paid attention to his appearance and was a bit solemn, but his conversation made people feel relaxed. In short, he left a very good impression on me.

"Class 4, Grade 2, Lu Yunzi." The female senior introduced herself to me in a very cold tone.

Well, I can understand that. After all, his attitude towards me was not very good when we first met. I guess it was because my tone when talking to my senior was not respectful enough... Well, never mind.

"Hello." I greeted them.

"Did you have fun today?" my senior asked me.
