(Trade-offs…?)

Qingshan remembered this word, exhaled, and inexplicably felt that the road ahead became clearer.

"...I hope Qingshan can really understand."

"She will understand... Yes, if she still can't learn and falls down again..." Li Nian said this with a smile, "It doesn't matter. You can call me right away. I can just treat her again. Anyway, by then she will probably be like this time and have no ability to resist. Even if she says no, her body will still obey her."

"Although I know that you have good intentions, Li Nian, but that statement sounds rather evil..."

"Oh, you know a lot, Newcomer-kun." This was Ren's voice.

"That's right. Maybe if we just kill Nanami she'll behave herself." This was Misaki's voice.

Qingshan's face turned red instantly and he made a "Pooh" sound.

"satyr."

She quickly patted her butt and stood up, but said something in a low voice.

"So...I won't give you another chance next time."

Qingshan finally left the door. She didn't know that Li Nian, who was chatting and laughing with everyone in the living room, glanced at the closed door at this moment, as if relieved.

"It's better to talk directly with each other because we are separated by a door..."

"Ok?"

"nothing."

……

……

next morning.

Li Nian got up early as usual and prepared for morning exercises after washing up. When she came to the living room, she unexpectedly found Qingshan already standing next to the stove, seemingly fiddling with something.

"Good morning, Aoyama?"

Hearing the somewhat doubtful greeting, Qingshan turned around and found it was Li Nian, and smiled gently.

"Student Li Nian, you should be awake by now. Are you planning to go for morning exercise?"

"Yeah." Li Nian responded casually and looked at her face. She felt fine, without the usual depressed look. It seemed like she had a good rest.

"It's amazing that you get up so early every day." Qingshan praised with admiration.

"You'll get used to it..." Li Nian shrugged and asked, "How come you got up earlier than me? Didn't you say that I can take care of the hygiene? You can just lie down for a while."

"I went to bed early on purpose yesterday because I wanted to get up earlier and I suddenly wanted to cook something."

Li Nian looked at the casserole on the stove that seemed to be cooking something.

"what is that?"

"Porridge." Qingshan smiled proudly, "This is a special cooking method my mother developed. Please look forward to it."

"Oh, that sounds like something to look forward to."

It sounds like Qingshan's relationship with his parents is not as bad as imagined.

"You should be able to taste it when you come back from your morning exercise, Li Nian. Everyone should be awake by then."

Qingshan didn't know what Li Nian was thinking. He turned around, hummed a little tune, and stirred the contents of the pot with a spoon. He seemed to be in a good mood.

"It's true that getting up early in the morning and having a bowl of hot porridge is a very happy thing... But Qingshan, there's no need for you to get up so early, right?"

"Considering the time it takes to help Shiina-san change clothes and wash up, we have to spare some time."

Li Nian frowned immediately and was about to speak, but Qingshan seemed to realize something and hurriedly turned around and added with an apologetic smile.

"Don't worry, this is the last time today."

"……Yeah."

"I will inform everyone about this later."

"Oh? Have you made a decision?"

"After what's been said, I'd be foolish not to change... Indeed, regarding the 'job of taking care of Mashiro'... I'm sorry, to be honest, I can't continue... school, part-time job, training class... plus other part-time jobs, I'm really too busy to handle it."

"I can tell."

"So, after listening to your words, I felt a sense of enlightenment. I can't go on like this. This time, because of my collapse, I have caused a lot of trouble for everyone, especially you, Li Nian..."

"Stop." Li Nian stretched out her hand to stop her from continuing: "It's just a small favor. If you care too much, it will make me feel troubled."

"……Understood."

"Just be careful not to show up next time."

"I will."

Li Nian turned around and was about to go wash up and go out, leaving a message: "Of course, if you really have any trouble, you can come to me."

"I...will."

Li Nian, with his back to the green mountains, moved his ears slightly, caught the soft whisper, and smiled slightly.

Afterwards, when Li Nian came back from morning exercise, most people had already gathered around the dining table.

As for Teacher Chihiro... Teacher Hiratsuka called last night and told everyone that Chihiro got drunk and stayed at her house.

Speaking of Ryunosuke, the programmer is used to a reversed day and night schedule. He is often still lying in bed at this time and never eats breakfast. Except for this guy, Aoyama has already prepared breakfast for everyone else.

"I'll go call Shiina-san..."

Seeing Li Nian sitting down and only Shiina was left, Qingshan stood up.

Kanda quickly stood up as well.

"Let me go instead. Didn't you say I'll be the one to come from today?"

It seems that Qingshan has already told everyone.

"No, only this morning, and I'll go..."

Li Nian suddenly glanced at the door and said, "I'm coming."

Everyone was stunned and looked towards the door, and the next moment, Shiina pushed the door open and walked out.

“Wha…what.” Kanda’s jaw almost dropped to the ground: “Yes, it’s Shiina, who helped you change your clothes?”

"Myself." Shiina puffed out his chest proudly, as if he was here to praise me...

"Kōta, come and praise me," she said it herself.

Indeed, she seemed to be wearing her school uniform neatly.

Kanda felt the sun rising from the west, he stood up suddenly, walked around Shiina, and asked in confusion.

"Did you really put it on yourself?"

"Ah."

“The panties are so important…” Kanda reached out to the skirt with a suspicious look on his face, but was hit on the head by the chopsticks thrown by Qingshan. He fell to the ground in pain and yelled back in dissatisfaction: “What are you doing, Qingshan!”

"I'm the one asking you what stupid thing you're doing, Kanda! When did you become a pervert who would openly lift a girl's skirt?"

"Ah, it looks like Sorata has turned into a man without even realizing it."

"Senior Mitaka, please don't applaud and praise this behavior with a pleased look on your face at this time."

Kanda was stunned at first, then as if he just realized that there was something wrong with his behavior, his face turned red and he stammered.

"I, I just...because, because she is Shiina..."

Shiina pressed the hem of her skirt, blushing a little, and actually seemed a little embarrassed.

"Sata, H..."

"How bad." Qingshan glanced over with a very cold look.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Kanda prostrated himself before the two men and kowtowed desperately to apologize.

Well, it is true. It is because she is Shiina that it seems strange.

Not only Kanda, Li Nian also looked at Shiina, who seemed to be well-dressed, with great surprise. He also felt a little like the sun had risen from the west. Suddenly, he found that Shiina was staring at Aoyama again, and then he suddenly realized the inner change represented by her behavior.

Shiina thought it was her responsibility that Aoyama collapsed from exhaustion. She was able to put on her clothes by herself today, probably because she thought, "I can't continue to cause trouble for Aoyama."

This made Li Nian feel a little relieved, as if her child had suddenly grown up.

Having said that, Li Nian could see that she was only wearing clothes, without taking care of her hair or washing. Moreover, she didn't know if it was an illusion...

Kanda lay on the ground trembling, and heard Shiina whisper again.

"Because I'm not wearing anything, I'm shy..."

"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" Kanda jumped up from the ground in a rage and pulled Shiina back to the room without saying anything.

Well, that’s probably what it means to have a long way to go.

Chapter 190: Aki Tomoya's First Draft

"Fresh out of the oven, please take a look!"

Early in the morning, accompanied by excited shouts, a very thick manuscript was slapped on Li Nian's desk with a "pop".

Li Nian, who had just arrived at school and hadn't even warmed up his seat yet, looked up speechlessly at An Yi who had come straight to him.

Although this kid was in high spirits as usual and his voice was loud and excited, he obviously lacked a lot of energy as before, and his voice contained a feeling of hoarseness and fatigue. When Li Nian looked up, he noticed the two big dark circles under his glasses and his face looked very listless.

Li Nian sighed, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table, which seemed to be the result of An Yi's tinkering all night. He felt the thickness of the manuscript under his palm and nodded: "I know, I will take a look, so you go back to your seat and take a nap."

"It's okay, I can handle it, no need to bother me. You should finish reading it quickly, I can't wait to hear other people's opinions, go ahead and read it." An Yi ignored her and urged Li Nian excitedly to open the book quickly.

"Then I'll just take a quick look and give you a casual evaluation, okay?"

"This..." An Yi was speechless and shook her head hurriedly: "No, after all, I spent the whole night tinkering with it after I went back home yesterday, at least take a closer look."

"I don't want something I spent a whole night writing to be treated like this. Can you at least give me some time to take a closer look? So go back and rest first. I'll give you the conclusion when you wake up."

"It seems so..." An Yi had to give up in disappointment, said dejectedly, then cheered up and repeatedly reminded, "Then you have to watch it carefully! We agreed! You must watch it carefully.", then turned around and went back to his seat.

Totsuka looked at Amaki's back and said worriedly, "Amaki-san has dark circles under his eyes."

"It's obvious that you haven't slept yet." Li Nian opened the project plan, scanned it from the first line of the first page, and his expression became serious.

"It made the thing in your hand. What is it?"

"Proposal."

"Ah~~" Hearing the seemingly formal term, Totsuka sighed, looked at the empty seat that belonged to Kato who had not yet entered the school, and then looked at Gogen next to him. "... Come to think of it, you guys seem to be doing something amazing recently?"

Li Nian snorted and laughed: "It's just a joke at the moment."

“Is that so…” Totsuka didn’t understand, but he didn’t intend to delve into it. Instead, he showed a longing expression: “Anyway, seeing how close you two are, I feel really envious.”

"A bunch of deceitful friends, what's there to envy?" Li Nian said, glancing at Wu Geng over there.

She was curiously looking at An Yi over there, and turned around as if sensing something, and met Li Nian's eyes. She raised her eyebrows and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing, isn't it good to look at a pretty girl?" Li Nian replied indifferently.

"Dry compliments, no sincerity..." Gogen's face flushed slightly, but he pretended to spit with disdain, coughed, and then became serious: "By the way, Amaki-san looks like he's full of energy."

"Well, that guy is just a guy who has twice as much unnecessary enthusiasm and motivation as others."

Li Nian nodded and his eyes returned to the plan.

"So that's the proposal he wrote in one night with all his useless energy? How does it feel?"

An Yi said that he would impress Li Nian with his own plan. Wu Geng was naturally very curious about the quality of his finished product. When she asked, Li Nian shook his head.

“You can tell from just the beginning that it’s a bunch of garbage.”

Wu Geng's expression froze.

“Is it garbage?”

"Well, there are big problems right from the beginning, which is the most important part. Just by looking at it, I can tell that this thing is a waste of no feasibility and value."

"...That's it."
