People are in the real teaching, but the inner world

Although he said that, there are still some changes, such as his face, which has become a little more beautiful than before.

A little bit.

If he hadn't observed it carefully every day, he really wouldn't have discovered it.

"How about I help you?"

"Help me?" Lingyin said in disbelief, "If you wanted to help me, you would have done it a long time ago. Do you think I would believe you now?"

"No, no, you understood wrongly. When I say help, I don't mean to help you do things, nor to become your tool, but to help you change." Yingdou said.

“I don’t need to change.”

As expected, Lingyin was the one he favored, and her answer was exactly what he thought.

I don't need to change, it's the world that needs to change.

I will right the wrongs of this world.

What a beautiful, noble ideal.

However, she overestimated her own strength.

To be more precise, she failed to see through other people's strengths; she did not have eyes that could see into people's hearts.

Simply put, it's childish.

If she herself is not capable, her childishness will be infinitely magnified and she will also be able to see her own shortcomings.

However, the fact is that her talents in all aspects are outstanding, and she has been praised in all aspects since she was a child. This also leads to her shortcomings being infinitely minimized, and she will not pay attention to these shortcomings.

A genius who has never experienced a beating is just a genius. The higher he stands, the harder he will fall.

Lingyin is in this period right now, and unless she experiences setbacks, there will be no changes.

Obviously, it is impossible to convince such a stubborn woman with words alone.

I knew this would be the result.

But this was not his purpose.

"Horikita, have you ever been in love?"

"No, not interested." Lingyin said coldly.

"What do you think love is?"

"..." Lingyin's ears turned slightly red, as if she thought of something strange.

This should be influenced by him.

"Alas." He sighed, "So-called love is not just love. There are two kinds of creatures in this world, male and female. The genetic structure between the two is basically the same, but there are also some differences."

What he wants to talk about is not the knowledge about XY chromosomes, but the difference in cognition.

"Men and women have very different views on the same thing. Horikita, do you understand boys?"

"I--"

"Wait a minute." Eito stopped her, "You're not saying there's no need to understand."

“……” Lingyin closed her mouth and agreed.

"Then I would like to ask Ms. Horikita, you don't know me, so how can you beat me? You don't know boys, so how can you know what your brother is thinking? Just like the running just now, if this is a competition, you have already lost. How can you win without knowing your opponent? Do you really think you are invincible?"

These words made Lingyin fall into thought.

He has explained it very clearly. If you still don't understand, you should go see a brain doctor.

"Then...what should I do?"

"It's simple. Fall in love with me. Falling in love is the fastest way to understand the opposite sex."

"I said..." Lingyin frowned, "You are not trying to take advantage of me, are you? I know I am cute, but every time you try to deceive me in a roundabout way, I still get angry."

As expected, it doesn't work if you cheat too much. It seems that Lingyin is almost seeing through his tricks.

It’s hard to target acquaintances.

In this case, there is no need for him to pretend.

"Horikita, you're right. I do mean to take advantage of you, but what I just said is also true. Love is indeed a shortcut. If you don't want to improve yourself, I won't force you. Just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

Lingyin hesitated.

"……All right."

"Hey, you actually agreed?" Yingdou asked in surprise.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not interested in love anyway. I won't fall in love with you no matter what I do, and - well, it's nothing."

She felt a little surprised that she had no resistance when she heard that she was going to be in a relationship with Yingdou. It might be that after being together for so long, she had gradually become accustomed to his existence, so even if he said they were in love, she didn't feel it was real.

Moreover, she was somewhat curious about Eito's strength. If she could take advantage of the opportunity of love to find out more about this person, then she would be one step closer to her goal.

"It's a deal then, don't regret it."

"I never regret it." Lingyin, "But if I find out that you are lying to me, I will no longer consider you my friend."

"Ah."

Lingyin's words were very serious, making him feel that they were indeed true and she would really break up with him.

Chapter 45: Scouting the Enemy

"So, what is love?"

Suzune asked this question, which stumped Eito.

As a time traveler, he was unfamiliar with this word, especially in this society of interest. Only young junior and senior high school students could clearly explain what love is.

"Horikita, what do you think of me?"

"ordinary."

"Is it really ordinary? Without any advantages?" These words hit him hard.

"The advantage is..." Lingyin looked at him carefully and nodded secretly, "He looks okay?"

"..."

Although I was a little happy, I still felt a sense of frustration.

Moreover, he felt as if Lingyin was playing a trick on him.

Forget it, let’s start with the simple one.

"Horikita, give me your hand."

"?"

"Holding hands is the most basic thing. You wouldn't dare to do that, would you?"

"……All right."

Although Lingyin hesitated for a moment, she still reached out her hand.

Her hands are white, tender and transparent, and her green fingers are slender and long, like a fine work of art.

Yingdou held it, feeling the smooth and cold touch like jade.

"..."

At this moment, he suddenly had a strange wish, which was to hold this hand until he died.

"what happened to you?"

Lingyin looked at him strangely, feeling something was wrong. She was about to pull her hand away, but he held it even tighter.

"Nothing, let's go."

He said pretending to be calm.

After walking for a while holding Lingyin's hand, he turned around and asked:

"How do you feel now?"

"..." Lingyin was silent for a while, then said, "It feels very awkward."

"Is it annoying?"

"I can't say I hate it, it's just... I just feel like this doesn't suit me."

Lingyin frowned and looked at the ground, looking a little dazed.

"Really."

Even he felt the sense of isolation from Lingyin.

Everyone has their own comfort zone, and once others interfere, they will want to escape.

But for Lingyin, the act of skin contact is compressing her living space and makes her very uncomfortable.

Eito felt that if he let go now, Suzune would run away immediately, and the next contact would become more difficult.

After thinking for a while, he stopped, faced Lingyin, spread out her hands, and gently pressed them against his chest.

"What are you doing?" Lingyin asked warily.

"Do you feel my heartbeat?"

"Um--"

"This is proof that I'm alive. Every beat of my heart is the continuation of my life. Now my life is in your hands, and you can take it away at any time." He winked at Lingyin.

"Who wants your dog's life?"

Ling Yin glared at him, then did as he said, feeling the beating of his chest.

Humans are truly magical creatures. They can sense a person's presence simply by the blood flowing in that person's body.

The heartbeat rhythm was steady and normal, like a plain song, and the smooth movements formed a complete symphony.

There are no waves and no passion.

Everything in the world is just like this, ordinary and peaceful.

Feeling the traces of the beating of life, Lingyin couldn't help but look at the person in front of her.

Only now was she deeply aware of his presence.

Although he often made her angry, more often than not, he filled her boring and tedious daily life.

Sometimes I dream about each other, although not in a good way.

This made her feel that a crack had appeared in her unshakable heart.

There are some things she doesn't need, but if she does, it's not unacceptable.

"What's wrong, Horikita?"

"nothing."

Lingyin pulled her hand back.

"that……"

"It's up to you." Lingyin said, standing there motionless, the meaning was self-evident.

"Ok."

Eito stepped forward and held her hand.

This time it felt much better, and Lingyin's movements were no longer as stiff as before.

"Then let's go check out other classes."

"Ah."

It felt like an elementary school student on a field trip, but he didn't shake Lingyin's hand too hard because he was not a real elementary school student.

However, he couldn't help but make a small move. After walking for a while, he rubbed Lingyin's smooth back of the hand with his fingertips.

However, this behavior was met with just a glare from Lingyin, who said nothing.

This made him wonder if the ringtone had been swapped.
