I refuse to be a plagiarist

Since it is a game played by friends, especially a team-based competitive game, it is understandable that there is a certain degree of difference in skills.

This is something that cannot be controlled simply by thinking.

Since they are friends, they should be tolerant of each other. Even though Hasegawa himself cares about the outcome of victory or defeat deep down in his heart, after the initial "burning out", he quickly adjusted his inner emotions and regained his "Buddhist" attitude of looking at everything lightly.

The purpose of playing together is to have fun and relax. If you get unhappy because of trivial things, then you are putting the cart before the horse.

"Haha...I'm so sorry, I really didn't play very well."

After hearing Hasegawa's reply that he didn't mind, Jun Saegusa on the other end of the line embarrassedly touched the back of his head, scratched his cheek, and resolved to improve his skills so that next time he played with his friends, he would not let them fight alone under several times the pressure like they did today.

It is impossible for people to fully understand each other, but since you have chosen to become partners, you must try to be considerate of each other as much as possible.

Although compared to old friends like Shirogane, Sanzhi often has an admiring "idol" filter when he sees Hasegawa Hide, but even so, he will try his best to understand this trustworthy classmate who stands in front of him at the critical moment.

For example, a simple game just now, or the daily life at Sobu High School...

"By the way, Hasegawa-kun..."

"Ok?"

The voice from the other end of the headset made Hasegawa feel a little strange for a moment.

From Sanzhi's tone, he felt that the other party seemed to have some questions that were difficult to talk about or hesitant.

“Well…actually, there is one thing I’m curious about.

Hasegawa, you are so dazzling, why are you still... alone? "

In Japan's campuses, the proportion of love affairs is naturally much higher than that of the vast majority of students in China who are working hard to achieve their goals.

After all, a considerable number of people do not plan to continue to improve themselves on the university campus. For them, the three years of high school are their last campus time.

As for Hasegawa's future plans, due to their closeness, Jun Saegusa doesn't know as much about them as Hayasaka Ai or Shirogane Miyuki.

But even so, it still feels a bit regretful that the other person didn't start a sweet love on campus.

Strictly speaking, this kind of thinking is a bit like elderly parents who expect their children to find a partner and come home during the Chinese New Year, so for a young friend, this may feel a bit like "overstepping the mark".

Having said that, Jun Saji himself felt something was wrong, and his tone began to become too polite.

Compared to the embarrassment and hesitation that gradually emerged from the boy's position, Hasegawa himself did not hesitate at all. After thinking for a while, he openly expressed his thoughts:

"As for this question... maybe it's because I don't think it's necessary, or I'm not yet able to take on the corresponding responsibility."

"Hmm........responsibility?"

When it comes to love, Jun Saegusa obviously still feels a little unfamiliar with the word "responsibility".

After all, everyone has longing and enthusiasm for love. Two people in love stay together to compose the poetry of youth. Naturally, they will not pay too much attention to heavy and serious topics such as responsibility.

For example, Sanzhijun.

In the eyes of this young man, love is about two people doing happy things together, and they can also rely on each other in the process of growth. It is indeed something worth rejoicing and looking forward to.

As a friend, Hasegawa is a prominent figure in Sobu High School and is outstanding in all aspects.

Therefore, in Jun Saegusa's opinion, it is a pity that the other party with such conditions is still alone.

But he is also a relatively "mature" man.

Since Hasegawa had his own reasons, although he didn't quite understand them, he decided to listen to the other party's ideas.

The "idol" filter makes Jun Saegusa appear a little blind when looking at Hasegawa.

He regards this friend as his role model, and often hopes to learn something from him that he lacks.

“This may have something to do with my thoughts and ideas.

Okay, Sanzhi, before we start discussing this issue, I would like to ask you why you have such a longing for "love".

Or, what does love mean to you? "

Different people have different situations, and it is for this reason that, in many cases, although everyone is facing roughly the same crossroads, the choices they make are completely different.

Take the matter of love for example. Hasegawa's own views are still relatively serious and old-fashioned.

His idea was to find a girl who was right for him, devote the rest of their lives to each other, and walk to the end together.

Love, on the other hand, is the process of trying to get to know each other better after finding a roughly suitable target. There is absolutely no idea of ​​"giving it a try" or "making do with it".

In other words, it is probably a more serious and ceremonial matter.

Of course, if we look at other students in the class, there will probably be people who have the same idea as him, and there will also be more people who are different from him.

For example, he may feel anxious when he sees other people have romantic partners, so he wants to join in. There are actually quite a few examples like this where there is no goal in mind and he is just following the trend.

Of course, there are also those who fall in love simply for the experience... So when faced with Saegusa Jun's doubts, the first thing Hasegawa asked was about the other party's attitude towards love.

If he wanted to find the right person to write his future life together, or simply wanted to experience the feeling of loving and being loved, then he naturally wouldn't say anything.

But if the other person just wants to force himself into a relationship because there are many people around him who are in love, then...

He raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

At least in Hasegawa's opinion, such behavior is unnecessary.

Chapter 77: The Young Lady’s Mindset

In terms of attitude towards life, Hasegawa considers himself to be a relatively "naive" type, and in many cases he lets his own temperament guide his judgments and decisions.

But even so, most of the time, he can't help but analyze problems with a more rational or somewhat utilitarian approach.

For example, investing limited time and energy into meaningful things.

As for the games and models I have come into contact with recently, they are just a choice to stop for a while in the busy pace and relax my body and mind.

As for love...

At least before he was ready for the future, he had no specific plans to have any intimate contact with a girl.

In other words, this slow-witted guy has actually already started this level of contact with some of the girls around him, but he himself has not realized it yet.

————————————

I stopped my casual chat on the topic of love with Jun Saegusa.

After learning about Hasegawa's opinion on this issue, the boy did not ask too many questions. He waited until the voice ended before starting to think about himself.

——The reason why I have a longing and yearning for love is because I really desire a pure relationship, or is it just the anxiety caused by the love of some of my friends around me?

After returning to school, Hasegawa Hide happened to share this problem with Miss Yukinoshita from the next class.

However, compared to his own carefree attitude, after hearing Hasegawa's attitude, the girl began to murmur in a deep and unfathomable tone:

"It's good to be responsible, but sometimes it's not necessary..."

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing."

Faced with Hasegawa's innocent look, the girl sighed softly, then changed the subject and talked about something else.

For example, a little girl in the family.

"Your sister... Yukino?"

"Ah."

Nodded gently.

If what the two talked about last semester was just a plan, then as they entered their second year of high school, the second young lady Yukinoshita, who had originally studied abroad, now seems to have returned from overseas under the arrangement of her parents and is ready to get familiar with local life again.

“Ah, I see…”

After getting confirmation from Yukinoshita Haruno, Hasegawa was slightly stunned, and then he looked at the girl in front of him with a strange look:

"When will there be news?"

He may not understand why rich kids travel around the country and abroad, but thanks to Yukinoshita Haruno, Hasegawa Hide now has some understanding of the situation between the two sisters.

It is just like some parents in daily life who like to interfere too much in their children's lives, but their starting point is out of care and love. The only difference is that in addition to these, the interference of this sister in her sister also has a bit of mischievous teasing.

Emmm...it seems to be even worse. In a sense, it is even worse than those parents who are well-intentioned but always like to interfere too much.

Having said that, of course, when considering an issue, deciding on a position is the first priority.

Compared to the little sister who seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances in front of her sister, Hasegawa would naturally help the more familiar Yukinoshita Haruno to think about the problem, instead of jumping out to act as a rational person who speaks without thinking.

The first impression when meeting someone after a long separation is naturally very important.

So after the other party mentioned that his sister would be returning to China soon, the first thing Hasegawa Hide thought of was the drama full of flaws that someone had recently prepared.

It would be fine if I could just enjoy the idealistic plot in private, but if one of the parties involved, little sister Yukino, saw or knew about it, then...

“Based on what you said before, it seems that you and your sister had a strained relationship.

If it's been a long time since we last met, then we should take this opportunity to meet again... huh?"

Didn't go on to elaborate.

In fact, relying on the understanding of each other, when Hasegawa opened his mouth, Yukinoshita Haruno could roughly guess what the other party wanted to remind her.

The girl naturally knew the good intentions behind it and the correctness of this idea.

But sometimes, when it comes to choosing something like this, it’s not like you can make the so-called “correct” decision just because you know it in your heart.

Various factors involuntarily pull at the parties' hearts.

Take studying for example. Although everyone knows that good grades and a good academic background can play a very important role in their future life, when sitting at the desk, not every time they can devote themselves to their studies.

The same principle applies to other things.

The reason why Yukinoshita Haruno rejected Hasegawa's suggestion at this time was because of the strong feeling that was already imprinted deep in the girl's soul.

——Cricket, it’s just a little Yukino.... Stupid Hasegawa, you’re really making a fuss out of nothing!

In her mind, a younger sister is a younger sister, and it is natural for her to move forward steadily along the path planned by such an excellent elder sister.

The other person may misunderstand her well-intentioned sister because of her youth and ignorance, but when she grows up and matures, she will understand.

He subconsciously ignored the possible trouble that his actions might cause to Yukinoshita Yukino.

On the other hand, looking at the pride emerging on the face of the young lady in front of him, Hasegawa Hide also vaguely guessed something, and his eyes gradually became subtle.

"..."

[Could it be that Yukinoshita is thinking...?]

He could tell from the expression on the other person's face alone that the girl was clearly in a state where she couldn't hear what anyone else was saying.

As for the specific thoughts in her mind, it was nothing more than an arrogant paranoia of a genius sister towards her younger sister, similar to the "no matter how much Monkey King jumps, he can't jump out of the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha" kind of thought.

There are some things that everyone can understand when interpreting, but when it comes to actually implementing them, they are unable to express their support from the bottom of their hearts.

Just like Hasegawa and Yukinoshita now.

From the other party's perspective, Hasegawa could indeed understand what kind of thinking this young lady had in making such a decision. After all, people with outstanding abilities often have a strong self-confidence that ordinary people do not have. Coupled with the other party's smooth sailing experience, she might indeed be thinking, "Little Cricket Sister, it's easy for me to catch her as a big sister."

but........

[You have such egoistic thoughts. Aren’t you really afraid of failure? ]

Chapter 78: People always yearn for what others have

It is certainly a good thing for people to be confident, especially when they are the leaders of a team. An image of being always confident and reliable will make the entire team feel at ease and calm about the future.

But on the other hand, when one is overconfident or even becomes arrogant, it will invisibly bring some unnecessary trouble to the person involved.

"I think as a sister, you'd better think seriously about the matter concerning the little girl, Yang No."

The tone of his speech had a bit of the earnest advice of someone who had experienced it.

Of course, Hasegawa herself was well aware that, from the other party's perspective, it was normal for a big eldest daughter who had everything going her way to have such an arrogant attitude in the face of a stinky younger sister who was "played around with at will" by her.

However, as the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see more clearly.

Compared to the eldest lady who is immersed in controlling her younger sister Yukino, Hasegawa, who observes and analyzes from the perspective of a bystander, can naturally recognize the hidden dangers of this attitude more clearly.

In the process of getting along with others, mutual respect is very important. In his opinion, no matter what the basis of the relationship is, as long as the basic point of respect is lost, it will be difficult to maintain it.

When Miss Yukinoshita mentioned her younger sister Yukino, the casualness she inadvertently showed, or the traditional mindless arrogance of "adults facing children", made Hasegawa see a fundamental "crisis" when the sisters got along.

No one likes to be preached over their head, just like adolescent boys and girls facing their parents. Even if they know that this is their relatives' concern for their future, when they actually face the condescending guidance, they will inevitably feel a resistance in their hearts.
