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

Life might still be called stable

Rinquanchuan didn't really have any particular ideas about what she wanted to do in the future. Honestly, even if she didn't do anything, she wouldn't be deprived of the necessary means to support herself. Given her family's financial resources, she could still do nothing... and her family didn't have any high expectations of her.

"Just do what you want to do."

This was basically how her family members treated her. Although they didn't say it explicitly, Rinquanchuan knew it in her heart - they had always regarded her behavior as a kind of willfulness, and in fact, they did indulge such willfulness - and all this was because Rinquanchuan responded to their expectations.

Am I actually the one who is quite excessive?

After learning the truth, Rinquanchuan recalled his past actions and felt a sense of guilt from the bottom of his heart. However, this feeling did not last long...

"It's her fault for not explaining the situation to me sooner. Although I bear some responsibility, the main responsibility lies with her."

This was quite consistent with her usual thinking. However, they had indeed reconciled, so future problems shouldn't be too serious. The main issue at this point was probably... that guy. Rinquanchuan finally began to worry—this was the first time she'd felt this way since entering high school. And it was quite troublesome, especially regarding love... After all, she had no similar experience. Really, not everyone has the experience of love.

"Want to go straight home, Miss?"

This was the first question the driver asked after Linquanchuan got into the car.

"...No, let's go to the pharmacy."

After hearing what Ye Hui said, she was still a little worried about that guy. Besides... Ye Hui had actually taken the day off to take care of that guy, so in terms of mobility, she was already way behind—but Sheji wasn't the type to fall in love with anyone who treated him well enough. He was the type to try not to owe anyone anything, and would repay them no matter what... Maybe that's why he's always tolerated my willfulness—Rin Quanchuan finally guessed a little bit about Sheji's thoughts.

"...Miss...are you sick? Or are you feeling unwell somewhere? If so, you should go to the hospital first..." The female driver—usually called Sister Sa by Rin Izumukawa and Rin Hanekawa—became a little nervous. She still cared deeply about the two sisters.

"...Well, don't be so nervous. I'm not feeling unwell. I just need to visit a patient."

"Eh? Miss, is your friend sick?"

The first person she thought of was that boy - after all, she had seen him a few times when she picked her up and dropped her off, and he seemed like a pretty good guy at first glance.

"Hmm...it seems like I have a high fever, so I need to bring some fever reducers...Um, besides that, what else do you think I should bring?"

The tone of voice was enough to confirm it. As a driver, she was quite experienced and could certainly tell that Miss Lin's tone was different from her usual one.

"Personally, I think...it should be fruit snacks or something..." In fact, she didn't have any special experience in this regard.

"Oh, that's too tacky." Rinquanchuan couldn't help but complain.

"But I always think it's better than just giving away a game console..."

That's right. She'd been there a long time ago when Rinsenkawa gifted Sajik with a game console. She'd really wanted to dissuade him from doing so, because if you wanted to get someone's attention, you should give them something that would instantly remind them of you, even if it wasn't practical—not a PS4 that would make you want to play games the moment you saw it.

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you questioning my judgment?" Having said that... she still vaguely felt the rationality of what he said.

"...Since you're so confident, I'll leave this matter to you."

"...Are you referring to helping you pick out comfort items?"

"if not?"

"...Ah, alright—"

Although she's a young lady, she's still a naive high school student when it comes to relationships. So, how far will her romantic journey take her? It might not be a smooth one.

Chapter 17: Perhaps life can still be called stable

At this point, I no longer doubt Ye Hui's virtuousness... I can already sense her full maternal charm. I have to say, when she took the notebook from my hand, I couldn't help but recall the time when my mother snatched the controller from my hand with a sullen look on her face when I was very young, and the time when she came over angrily and turned off the TV when I was concentrating on watching TV instead of doing my homework.

I never thought that I would have the chance to experience this feeling again when I was seventeen and almost eighteen years old.

“...Ah, what’s going on?”

I actually don't feel disgusted by such behavior. Is it because I am too close to Ye Hui that I can't get angry properly or is it because I am too sick that I don't know what to do. In short, I can only stay at

Perhaps most of a woman's feelings towards a man are based on this kind of emotion that is unique to women... Then it's no wonder that boys with a slightly childish appearance and personality will attract girls' attention. It's because girls like cute things - and in this case, some guys like girls with a rather childish appearance and personality for similar reasons... fatherly love or something?

"...How is it possible..."

Although I'm also a man, it's not nice to call myself a compatriot. But what drives men to do certain things is often a yearning for the opposite sex... and that yearning can be simply summarized as "the pure desire for union with the opposite sex." Whether it's helping or caring for someone, courting or offering sweet nothings, it's ultimately all about pleasure... See, men are generally pretty straightforward and easy to understand. If unions between men and women are considered dirty, then men are pretty dirty too—of course, I don't deny owning pornographic books and videos I can't share—so, in reality, I'm pretty dirty too.

"..."

But I still find it hard to judge whether sex between men and women can be considered dirty. After all, without it, humans wouldn't be able to reproduce. Perhaps the reason society hasn't openly discussed this matter is because humans, compared to animals, take it far too seriously.

【ding dong——】

The doorbell rang. Someone besides Ye Hui was able to visit me at this time... This was truly unusual. I had never experienced such treatment in elementary or middle school—were these guys not afraid of being infected by me?

"Oh... here it comes."

I responded weakly and prepared to stand up to open the door. However, Ye Hui had already run out of the kitchen when I was about to stand up.

"Sheji, just sit there quietly."

"...Uh."

I'm really busy... It's clearly my own business, but the trouble isn't my fault at all. Ah, this is a bit too idle.

.........

"Oh, welcome~"

I used two welcomes...

Even though I couldn't see who the person was, I could still hear Ye Hui talking to him. Judging from this, the person who came should be someone she was very familiar with... Could it be someone in the class?

"Oh, Sister Yehui, you are here too."

"Well, I'm here to visit your brother~"

"..."

Okay. I've already guessed who it was... I'd already figured it out. Since Ye Jin had already been here at noon, it stands to reason that she'd stop by after school that evening. After all, my house was still empty as usual. If she hadn't come, and Ye Hui hadn't come either, I'd probably still be in a coma with a high fever.

"I smell the aroma of food. Could it be that Sister Yehui, have you already prepared the meal?" Ye Jin said as she walked in. Although I didn't look back, I could already hear her footsteps... At the same time, I could vaguely hear the sound of something like plastic. It seemed that the shopping bag hadn't escaped. In other words, that guy seemed to have brought something -

"Yeah...it's rare that you bought the ingredients."

There's no need to feel guilty about her, Ye Hui. Although that guy's cooking isn't bad, no one can compare to yours when it comes to cooking.

"It's okay. We have the refrigerator anyway—just put it in the kitchen. I don't think my brother's illness will be cured tomorrow."

Is it really okay to say such things to a patient... Doesn't that guy have a guilty conscience?

"Oh, even though you say that, you're still concerned about your brother, right?"

In fact, Ye Hui didn't need to try to smooth things over like this. After all, she knew I was still awake, but she couldn't say it openly at this time. And Ye Jin must have thought I was resting, so she said that. In other words, those words just now were her true feelings.

"After all, my brother is a fool... and now he's sick. If I don't take care of him... he probably won't get better in his lifetime."

"..."

What the hell? I'm still awake... It's not nice to say bad things about me so openly. But she still wants to take care of me... I'm a little touched by that.

"So, is there anything I can do for you?"

I don't think so.

"I'm almost done. If you can, just help me carry the dishes or something. Your hair is wet, so go get a towel and dry it first, then go to the living room and take a rest under the warm air."

"Oh--"

...Hearing them say this, I realized the rain hadn't stopped falling. It seemed to be continuing at that pace... It probably wouldn't stop until tomorrow. Being able to stay home on a rainy day like this is a blessing, I guess.

"Ah, so you weren't sleeping."

Have you been discovered? But I don’t think I have anything to say about this, after all, it is the fact.

"Looks like he's been listening to us the whole time? To think he's interested in this... What a terrible guy."

"..."

Is this girl just trying to hurt me? Never mind, I'd better just close my eyes and ignore her.

"Okay, stop pretending to be asleep... Come and help me dry my hair. The back of my hair won't dry on its own. I don't want to catch a cold because of this."

"How can you really live with your conscience if you say that? I'm a patient..." I finally opened my eyes with difficulty, and then I saw her unreasonable face.

Really, not cute at all——

"Cut the nonsense."

As he spoke, a slightly damp towel was thrown on my face.

It's not bad if it's a little lively

"Ah... your hair seems to have grown a little longer."

When I actually touched it, I suddenly realized that Ye Jin's hair was actually quite good... At least it felt very comfortable, just like petting a pet dog with long fur - except that Ye Jin didn't look at all calm, and it was hard to associate him with a pet. If my pet kept saying bad things to me from time to time, it would immediately become someone else's.

"It's not just a little bit that's changed—that's why men's observation skills are really bad. If your girlfriend changed her lipstick or makeup later, you probably wouldn't notice, right?"

"...You can't say that..."

While we were talking, my hands were still carefully drying her hair. If she really caught a cold from this, I'd definitely hear her complain again... but I don't think she'd feel guilty about it. Anyway, it was her fault for going out in the rain without an umbrella.

"Holmes's powers of observation are truly remarkable."

"But that's a fictional character... You're not even close to him."

...just an example.

"...I simply wanted to refute your point. This point refutes your argument... Not all men have poor observation skills..."

"You're all sick, so you'd better say less."

"Well..."

It was as if she hadn't thought of this at all when she asked me to brush her hair, so it must have been her way of changing the subject.

"But seeing as you're so talkative, are you feeling a little better?" She suddenly stood up, her head almost touching my chin. So I withdrew my hand and tossed the towel aside.

In fact, I am not worried at all that she will get sick, because fools never get sick.

"...Unclear."

My forehead and body are still hot...and my head is still dizzy, so I don't think I'll get any better.

"...You're so sick, and your girlfriend doesn't even come to see you."

"...Stop joking, I..."

Um, my instinct was to say I didn't have a girlfriend at all. Seriously, my thoughts were so slow I almost admitted it.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

"I...I'm just sick. There's no need to make such a fuss... After all, she's usually pretty busy."

That's right. This brings me back to what I said before.

"It's just studying. What's so busy about it?...Won't there be nothing to do after school?"

"Do you think a high school student can compete with a junior high student like you?"

"But don't you act like you have nothing to do after school?"

I really don't know if this is a genuine question or she's taking the opportunity to mock me... Well, either way, it feels bothersome to me.

"...I just don't want to work hard. Don't assume everyone is like me—otherwise, wouldn't the world have been in chaos long ago?"

"...You are quite self-aware."

"Hmm." Then you have nothing to say.

"So, what's the matter with Sister Yehui being here?"

"...Oh, that's right. I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now...Why do you call her "Sister Yehui"? "Are you two really that close?

"Isn't this nonsense? If you don't call a girl your age sister, should you call her brother? Has your brain really become even more stupid after being burned?"

"....." Although he said so, the intimate tone sounded a bit awkward no matter how he listened to it.

"Okay, tell me what's going on."

"What's going on... Is it weird that she's here?"

"Of course." She glanced at the kitchen and said, "She and you are not related at all, just classmates...why would she come here to cook for you?"

"...Maybe she likes cooking for people."
