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

I think I would laugh if I saw it in person.

"That's why I wanted to ask you for a mount. Who knew you didn't have a dragon, not even a warhorse."

"Who am I supposed to fight..." Besides, such a thing doesn't even exist...

"Of course, I'm fighting Troyana's enemies. Even though you're the Dark Knight, aren't you already serving me?"

What the hell... did I ever mention I'm a neutral orange card? [Black Knight, a... somewhat useless neutral orange card] I'm a knight who walks in the shadows, unnoticed... Why do I remember this title...

"Let's not talk about this anymore." I felt ashamed. "But what are you going to do then? Are you going to try to follow the main group or find a small road?" I asked her.

But taking shortcuts should be prohibited, and there is also supervision by the student union.

"I'm not very familiar with the road conditions, and I just said that I'm not suitable for staying in a crowd, right?"

"Yeah... so what are you going to do?"

I asked her for the time being.

"I'll just follow you."

Oh... This language is full of ease and naturalness, as if this is what should be done...

"No way..." I hesitated for a moment.

"What's wrong with that..." Lingcan seemed to understand something, "Did Linquanchuan say the same thing just now?"

His brain is still quite smart at the critical moment...

"Well... that's it. They said it was in the name of the club or something..." It couldn't be more troublesome.

"Then add me in, we're all in the same club."

Why is your tone so blunt...as if you're not considering anything at all.

"...Why do you have to go with me? You can just go with Rinquanchuan."

Couldn't these two people have discussed it beforehand?

"Why? We can go together as a group of three... Do you have an appointment with someone else... Ah!"

What are you doing... so startled...

"Did you make a date with that...what's her name...the girl with long black hair?"

...She seemed to know Ye Hui...probably they met at the cultural exhibition.

"Her name is Yehui... Well, she and I didn't make any agreement. She should be with her own friends... Why don't you go with other girls? Aren't you quite popular with them?"

"It's because of that..." Lingcan seemed a little helpless, "If I'm with them, I have to pay attention to a lot of things, and I can't let go."

...I didn't realize you were such a face-conscious person...

"Is there nothing worth hiding from me?"

A rather frustrating question.

"Hmm... is there..." Lingcan tilted his head and thought for a moment, "After all, there must be something, something I can't tell you."

"...Yeah..."

It must be a secret like magic.

"Well, do you want to come with me?"

Lingcan brought the topic back to long-distance running.

"I can't guarantee that..." I thought for a moment, "If nothing happens by then..."

"Ok, no problem."

She agreed very readily...but because of my height, I couldn't see her expression at that moment...but I guess she looked very proud.

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

"Oh, two laps were pretty quick. I don't feel very tired."

“…I feel…very tired…”

I have already run 1,600 meters... Although I have slowed down my pace, I am still out of breath.

"Are you okay..."

Yehui seemed to be looking at me with some worry.

"...Probably...I'm fine..."

Because the speed is much slower than when he was fined.

"Really..." Ye Hui didn't make any move to jog.

I felt a little strange, and just when I was about to ask her, I heard her say to me:

"How about we take a walk first?"

"Walk a little... kind of stroll?"

"Yeah, this shouldn't be too tiring."

...As expected, Ye Hui is still considerate.

"Wait," I suddenly realized something else, "Isn't this a bad idea? People from both classes are watching..."

I'd already drawn some jealous stares when I was running with them earlier, but if I just took a walk this time...

"What's wrong with that...Are you shy?" He said with an intriguing smile.

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but for a moment I felt that Ye Hui’s expression... was a little naughty, but still very cute.

"No..." It's obviously a lie... I really hope Ye Hui won't see through it.

"In that case... let's run."

"Well... remember to follow me closely."

This is of course a bit of a boastful statement.

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

【Easter Eggs】

“It’s started again…”

"yes..."

Looking at the conversation between Yi Sheji and Ye Hui, the two people on the side seemed to have some opinions.

"He seems to be good at chatting." Ling Can muttered silently.

"...Well..."

Linquanchuan remembered what Yehui did on Yisheji's birthday.

"It's just... a little common sense."

She also muttered silently.

"What a formidable opponent..."

The habit of generalizing

"Movies are what life has become after the boring parts have been shaved off."

The person who told me this took it as his guiding principle.

I don't know how to refute it though... after all, it's Hitchcock's words, and if I refute it without authorization, it might seem a bit arrogant.

So...I will just agree with it for now...no, I should say I agree with it very much.

However, the point of agreement is not about the definition of the movie, but about the expression of boredom.

If we look at this sentence from the mathematical perspective of addition and subtraction, if we add boredom to movies, we get real life. In other words, if we subtract movies from real life, we only get boredom.

Come to think of it, I heard this sentence a long time ago. As for why I only thought about it now... probably because I was bored.

Therefore, boredom is the norm in life. It is better to say that it is precisely because of boredom that it is called life. Wonderful things can only be novels or movies.

Perhaps it's precisely because of daily exposure to boredom that people have developed a deep aversion to it, wanting to avoid it at all costs. So the pursuit of excitement seems reasonable, especially in this era when there are so many things that can help people escape boredom.

However, apart from entertainment methods such as movies, TV shows and games that rely on technology, are there any other ways to get rid of boredom?

Of course...that's the human ability to think, or you could say it's "daydreaming".

Because the class is boring, it is perfectly reasonable to daydream and think about other things.

But compared to all these, what I care about most is: why do we have to take this sentence as the guiding principle?

If I remember correctly, the word "Guinie" should mean standard.

So, how can we use the statement "Movies are the product of life with the boring parts removed" as a criterion to measure things?

I guess we can only judge it by the movies.

If we use this so-called "standard" to measure other things, such as novels...

Although novels and movies do have similarities, such as both need to be interesting and entertaining, compared to movies, novels do not seem to need to be as strong in these two aspects as movies.

Due to time constraints, telling a complete and engaging story within a given timeframe is a challenge for films. This requires skillful narrative techniques and a precise control of pacing, and the pace is often much faster than that of a novel. Therefore, in terms of viewing pleasure, simply being able to see the visuals directly surpasses a novel by a long shot, not to mention the level of enjoyment.

Although I think it’s because of the advantage in numbers.

Well, that is to say...the so-called standard must correspond to something that can be measured.

If I go back to work in the film industry in the future, this sentence will really help me, but if I don’t get involved, this sentence will probably only be quoted by me occasionally to make up the word count in an article.

The quality of a work does not depend on reviews or its popularity, but on the people who watch it.

Everyone has the right to like or dislike a work, and also the right to comment on their feelings about it.

Therefore, in my opinion, arguing about the quality of a work is the most boring thing, because no matter what, both sides cannot convince each other. Since there is no way to change the facts, why bother to do useless work?

This is not just true in novels, it's also true in games.

Whether it is the fast-attack type who is eager for quick success, the slow-paced type who is steady and cautious, or the wild type who is entertaining, all of them are playing the game seriously, but with different purposes.

There is nothing wrong with playing games to win, there is nothing wrong with playing games for fun, and there is nothing wrong with playing games for your own happiness.

So, stop saying things like "this is how you play games."

The same reason.

I read novels to amuse myself, to relax, for the plot, and for...

Everyone evaluates a novel with a different mindset and measures it carefully.

Evaluation is just evaluation. The true quality of a work still depends on the viewers.

Well...so it seems...book reviews are of no use.

Chapter 6: The Habit of Generalizing

I should have thought of it earlier...

Whether it's who to run with or how to get out when the time comes, it's too early to consider these things.

In order to prevent accidents, the school has long banned several people from running side by side. Moreover, even if no accidents happen, running side by side will cause traffic jams.

Well...so Rinquanchuan and Lingcan's faces seemed to have a more solemn look.

But I felt lucky that I could get rid of these two troublesome guys and run slowly on the 30-kilometer road by myself, enjoying the pleasure of daydreaming.

Because the roads should have been cleared in advance, you don't need to pay attention like you normally do when walking on the road. As long as you pay a little attention to avoid bumping into trees or telephone poles, you can be distracted at will. This is something you wouldn't dare to think about normally.

That being said...long-distance running is indeed a bit more fun than attending classes, but it's just not very fun.

"Sorry, Sheji, I have to go visit Xiaolin who is sick today, so..."

As always, Ye Hui cares about everyone around him in a gentle way no matter what.

At this moment, I looked at Ye Hui with an apologetic look in his eyes and felt guilty.
