Sawamura exclaimed: "Wow, he confessed after just one meeting. I don't think Li Nian is that handsome and stunningly beautiful. He just has an ordinary face. There is nothing in his body that can make people fall in love at first sight..."

Li Nian snorted coldly, "I can hear you. Can you keep your voice down when you're making fun of others?"

In response to Kasumigaoka's question, Nayuta nodded and said, "I want to understand Li Nian, but I don't know much about him right now. I only know that he is a good person who won't ignore those who are in pain."

"...That's true, but that's all you know about him. Can you be sure that you like someone just based on this little bit?"

"I'm sure."

"…Is it because you feel he saved you?"

"Yeah!" Nayuta nodded vigorously.

"Anian, what's going on?" An Yi felt that something must have happened between Teacher Nayuta and Li Nian. When she heard Senior Kasumigaoka say that it was Li Nian who saved Nayuta, she knew there was a story.

"...Teacher Nayuta wasn't doing well at school, so I helped her. That's all. I can't say I saved her." Li Nian emphasized, "Teacher Nayuta, I just lent you a little bit of strength. Maybe it gave you more courage, but it was you who resisted. You didn't use that strength, so I can't say I saved you."

Nayuta shook her head.

"No, it was you, Li Nian, who saved me. It was you who lent me a helping hand... Only you."

"It wasn't just me. A bunch of my peers and senior writers were there, giving you advice together."

"I am also grateful to them... But I know that it was you, Li Nian, who first extended a helping hand to me. It was you who told me that I should resist, and it was you who gave me strength."

Li Nian was silent for a while, still unable to understand. "To you, Teacher Nayuta, is what I did so important? I just met with you, learned about the situation, gave you some advice without getting involved, and then gave you power that was not used. I was not even there when you were fighting."

Li Nian looked at the scars on Nayuta's face. They were scratched by nails during the fight. The face was a little disfigured. Ruining such a lovely face was an unnecessary price to pay. He felt that he had been of no use, but he could make up for it and heal the wound later.

"I know, for you, Li Nian, this is just a trivial thing." Nayuta said quietly, "But for me, it feels like I've been saved. No one looked at me before, no one helped me, no one spoke up for me, no one lent me a hand and taught me how to do it. Only you... only you did this. My whole world was dark before, and you brought down the first ray of light for me."

"…Isn't this too much, Nayuta-sensei?"

"That's not an exaggeration." It wasn't Nayuta, but Gogen who suddenly said, "For this kid, that might be the case."

"Ah?" Li Nian looked at Gogen blankly. She seemed to have some empathy with Nayuta.

Nayuta looked at the petite and gloomy girl unexpectedly, and sensed something, and said, "Are you also an outlier in the class? Have you been saved by Li Nian?"

Wu Geng was silent for a while, then actually nodded.

This made Li Nian even more confused. He thought that Nayuta was fine. She had really been bullied before and had never resisted. When had you ever been willing to be bullied by a vicious and venomous woman like Wu Geng? Was it his turn to save her?

"Okay." Li Nian had to admit that he might have saved Nayuta from being bullied, which left a deep impression on her. "But this shouldn't be a reason for you to like... have a good impression of me."

"I've been doing very well these days." Nayuta smiled and talked about her recent situation: "You're right. When I resisted and spoke out, others would come to help me. After that day, my parents had a big fight with the school, and they came back and hugged me and cried for a long time, but after crying, they no longer had painful expressions of not knowing what to do with me. The school began to take action to deal with those bad guys. My classmates jumped out to testify for me. They and their parents cried and apologized to me, and then stopped coming to school. Without those people, the world around me suddenly became bright. No one scolded me, beat me, or ignored me anymore. My classmates would talk to me and ask about my well-being. I no longer had to worry and fear to go to school, go out, and see others. I realized that life was so beautiful and peaceful. I felt more relaxed and happy than ever these days... Every time this happened, I would be glad that I listened to you, Li Nian, and resisted well. Every day I would look at the mark you left on me in front of the mirror for a long time."

As she spoke, she unbuttoned her collar.

Sawamura was quick-witted and grabbed Aki's head and slammed it on the table: "What are you doing, Mr. Nayuta? Turn around, Tomoya!"

An Yi couldn't see the scene in front of him, but his head hurt: "It hurts! This is not turning around, but falling down! You don't need to do this and I won't watch it. Let go of Eriri!"

Sawamura said not to let An Yi look, but he himself cast a lustful look at the magnificent chest scenery carefully. However, what attracted her was not the magnificent cleavage, but a glowing mark, which was the rune left by Li Nian.

As if to show it to Li Nian, Karina Yuta shamelessly approached Li Nian, leaned against him, and pressed her two soft breasts against Li Nian's chest, saying affectionately: "When I look at this mark, I will think of you, Li Nian. It makes me realize more deeply that I can walk out of the darkness because you saved me... Every day, every day, every day! I miss you more and more! I think this is the feeling of love! Today I couldn't help but ask Miss Machida where you were, and ran over to confess!"

Did Machida-san tell her? What does this guy think of personal privacy?!

Li Nian leaned back quickly, to avoid the soft body approaching, and also to resist the passionate confession. He really felt that this person was helpless. After taking a glance, he tried hard to restrain himself and turned his head away from the tempting cleavage, knowing that the runes left were there, and there was no need for this child to show them: "Okay, okay, I get it, quickly retreat and sit down and button your collar... I roughly understand why you said you like me."

Nayuta was very happy: "Did I finally convey my feelings to you?"

“I think it’s just an illusion.”

Chapter 453: There is no reason to like someone

"Illusion? Why?"

Nayuta tilted her head, her movements were as cute and innocent as a little animal. Li Nian had to admit that she was a very charming girl. Without the lingering haze in her eyes, this girl became much more cheerful, and her original cuteness was fully displayed in every glance and smile.

Li Nian was even more certain that Nayuta's life was on the right track, and that after clearing away some of the things that were in the way, a brilliant life would be waiting for her. This made Li Nian feel that what she had done was meaningful, and she felt that she was not worthy of this child's love.

“Do you know what the suspension bridge effect is?”

"I've heard of it, but I forgot what it meant."

"You can check it now."

"Oh." Nayuta really took out her cell phone and started searching for related terms, looking at them carefully.

The suspension bridge effect refers to the fact that when a person is crossing a suspension bridge, he or she will inevitably experience a thrilling feeling due to nervousness and fear. At this time, if she or he or she meets a member of the opposite sex, she or he or she will mistakenly believe that it is the member of the opposite sex who makes her or her feel heart-beating and thus develop love for him or her.

After reading it, Nayuta said, "Does that mean my love for Li Nian is just a psychological illusion?"

"Yes, I just intervened in your crisis and helped you, which caused you to have this kind of suspension bridge effect on me. Maybe this made you, Mr. Nayuta, have some illusions and fantasies about me, but this is essentially a way of taking advantage of the situation. It is probably some imagination that you had when you were not sober."

Sawamura looked at Li Nian a little dumbfounded. This guy was actually seriously explaining the suspension bridge effect to the girl who liked him, trying to make her realize the hypocrisy of love. It was true, but only this guy could push away the love of such a beautiful girl.

"I know, this is a story about a hero saving a beautiful girl!" Nayuta clapped her hands and laughed as if she found it very interesting. Even though Li Nian said this, she still had no intention of reflecting on it. She continued to look at the boy with a smile, as if there was nothing else in her eyes: "Now that you mention it, I feel that my encounter with classmate Li Nian is quite romantic."

"…There wasn't even any romantic element. If I remember correctly, I didn't stand up like the prince did. What I did was explain to you the necessity of the struggle and encourage you to beat others."

"Ah Nian, did you do such a thing?" An Yi was stunned: "I saw a few scars on Teacher Nayuta's face, it looks like he had a fight with someone, it seems that you instigated it."

"I did lend her my strength, okay? It's just that others were too lazy to use it, so they left me the battle medal." Li Nian argued: "Of course I will remove the medal for her... Now, Teacher Nayuta, I will heal the wound on your face."

As he spoke, Li Nian stretched out his fingers, gathered light between them, and performed healing techniques as he pleased, trying to wipe off the wound on the girl's face.

Nayuta took the initiative to move her face closer, squinting her eyes like a cat. She was more attentive to the touch of the boy's fingertips than the itchy feeling when the scar was repaired. She smiled happily, "When Li Nian gave me strength, I felt like a prince."

Wu Geng knew that Kasumigaoka, the writer of Phoenix Library, was present at the award ceremony. It was there that she met this Ker Nayuta with Li Nian. It seemed that she witnessed a story between the two. Looking at Nayuta's expression, she thought that Li Nian's attitude at that time was really handsome, and asked Kasumigaoka senior: "Senior, is this true? Did Li act so handsome at that time?"

Kasumigaoka recalled the scene at that time, shook his head and said: "Rather than calling him a prince, I think the man in that scene was more like an evil wizard who led people astray."

"That's what I told you." Wu Geng nodded in understanding, thinking that this was what Li Nian would do.

Nayuta thought for a moment and said, "So I was seduced, Princess? I think it wouldn't be so bad to be eaten by Li Nian."

Kasumigaoka finally understood what teacher Nayuta was thinking.

"It's over. This person is interpreting everything in a way that is favorable to himself. He doesn't want to pull himself out of the illusion of love at all."

In the blink of an eye, Li Nian had completed the treatment. The meticulous operation was very effective. The scars on Nayuta's face had disappeared completely, and her lovely and delicate face had been restored.

"Why do you want to extricate yourself? Is the feeling of liking someone an illusion? I don't think so. Whether it's the suspension bridge effect or a hero saving a beautiful girl, it doesn't matter what it is." Nayuta opened her eyes with regret, still staring at Li Nian: "I just know that I like this person. These days I have wondered if it was my illusion, but when we really met, I understood that this is the feeling of liking someone, so I confessed to you. Is this not okay?"

Li Nian didn't dare to meet her eyes, because he really didn't know how to respond to the feelings in those bright pupils. He originally thought that this girl's love for him was an impulse that would come more or less after encountering a clichéd plot of a hero saving a beauty. If he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he would find that this was wrong. But he didn't expect that this girl's cognition was so firm, and she had no intention of reflecting or calming down at all.

“It’s not impossible…”

"After the hero rescues the beauty, the princess and the prince can always live happily together. Isn't that a good development? I've seen stories written like this. When I was a child, I liked this kind of ending very much. I also want to go on like you, Li Nian. Is there anything wrong with this idea?"

"That's right..."

"Or does my confession bother you, Li Nian?" Nayuta asked.

“…If I say there isn’t any, I’d definitely be lying.”

Being suddenly approached and confessed to in front of a crowded place like the school gate, Li Nian was shocked and at the same time, felt troubled. He had to harden his heart and refuse. He probably would have been surrounded by more rumors... although he didn't care about that kind of thing.

"Oh, then, I'm sorry." Nayuta, who didn't feel embarrassed at all when she confessed, now showed a somewhat awkward expression.

"No, of course I don't blame you. If it were another boy, you would be so happy. It's just that I'm a little weird. Don't mind it."

"But why did you reject me? I don't know yet... When you said you had to reject me, it was because of Li Nian, do you have someone you like?"

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Li Nian.

Li Nian felt an inexplicable force from those gazes.

But he still answered without hesitation.

"of course not."

Kasumigaoka suddenly became angry: "How dare you answer so decisively? I suggest you consider your words and answer again."

Wu Geng nodded in agreement and reminded: "One should not deceive one's own heart. It is wrong to lie to such a lovely girl."

Li Nian thought about it and reworded: "If it is clear that this kind of liking is the kind of liking between men and women, then there is no one I like in this world."

“You’re even more determined!?”

"That's right. I was the fool who had hope in you for a moment."

Nayuta seemed to think this was a good answer, and instead had a relieved expression on her face: "That's good, it means that Li Nian hasn't been taken advantage of yet, so I can accept it without hesitation."

Before Li Nian could say anything, Kasumigaoka sneered, "Who said that Nayuta-sensei could accept it without hesitation? Have you forgotten that you were the one who was rejected just now?"

"It doesn't matter. I was just saying hello. I will get him sooner or later."

"You're thinking about Peach!" Wu Geng scolded flatly, and then felt that his voice seemed a little strange at this time. He coughed and explained: "Well, I mean you don't know how hopeless this person is that you have some unrealistic fantasies. It's better to give up as soon as possible. It's not realistic to expect him to like you. It's just asking for trouble."

"I won't give up." Nayuta said loudly and seriously, "I will try my best to make Li Nian like me until he agrees to my confession."

This overly firm declaration shook everyone in the room, including a few shop assistants who were secretly watching the situation over there, who also shouted excitedly.

Kasumigaoka already roughly knew that this teacher Kannayuta was a pure and straightforward person, and Gogen gradually realized that this was not a rational person who could easily reason with others, but a love locomotive that was running wild.

"I've only heard of this kind of person who is very determined to like someone, and who is unwilling to give up even after being clearly rejected, and who even works hard to make that person like him or her..." An Yi's expression was quite serious, and it was difficult for her to see this as a joke. "Now I see it with my own eyes. I know that there are actually such people in the world, and the person they like is actually Ah Nian... Ah Nian is definitely qualified."

Li Nian was also shocked. As the one who was being pursued with great passion, he could feel the girl's intense feelings for him more directly than anyone else: "Wait, don't just pump yourself up. Calm down."

"I don't want you, Li Nian, to continue to doubt my feelings."

"...I don't doubt it, but, Mr. Nayuta, don't you think you're a bit too impulsive? How about calming down and thinking about it? As Kasumigaoka-senpai said, you really don't know anything about me. You haven't seen the whole me. What kind of man am I? It's dangerous to express love to such a person. Have you ever considered the possibility that I might be a scumbag with a lot of pitfalls?"

"Be more confident and eliminate the possibility." Sawamura had been watching the show happily at the side and thought it was very funny. Compared with the directness and frankness of this heavyweight player, some people's operations were really weak and not good enough. He felt that for such a straight man, Nayuta's initiative and straightforwardness could best break the defense. He had already discovered that Li Nian had no way to deal with him.

"He's just a scumbag. He has messy relationships with a lot of women. You'd better stay away from him." Wu Geng seized the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark.

"This guy is very good at playing with women's feelings. I am one of the victims. I am the only one who was deceived. As someone who has been through this, I don't want Nayuta-sensei to be deceived too. It's better to turn back as soon as possible. Cry~~." Kasumigaoka also sobbed and added insult to injury.

Li Nian's forehead veins popped up, but he held back from refuting for the time being because he really wanted to think about Nayuta, and the feeling of confessing to a scumbag was like walking into a gun barrel.

Kato listened for a long time before speaking, slowly saying, "Girls should see the true nature of boys before deciding whether to have further contact. Conversely, the same applies to boys, isn't that right, Mr. Yuta? You are too impatient. You don't know Li Nian, and he doesn't know you either, right?"

Nayuta calmed down a bit, "That's right, Li Nian doesn't know me well enough, so I want to let you know based on my measurements."

"I'm not interested in knowing."

"They are 88, 60, and 83 respectively. Boys should like a figure like mine? I think the boys in my class always like to look at me like this."

The information that Li Nian didn't want to know naturally flowed into his mind, and then was clearly remembered. Li Nian covered his forehead and said, "In short, you don't know me, and I don't know you. This situation is impossible... Not necessarily, maybe you meet a real scumbag, who will agree as soon as you confess, and will take a fancy to your body and trick you into going to a hotel at night."

"Oh, I'm familiar with that process." Sawamura became excited. Obviously, she had imagined the entire process and related details of a girl from being deceived to falling. After all, she had drawn many such books.

"Do you want me, Li Nian? Then please be gentle in bed and guide me well, because I'm still a virgin." Li Nian was warning her, but Nayuta seemed to think that was a good development. She twisted her body shyly and said something shocking.

"Pfft." An Yi, who was drinking coffee, spat it out. This was much more straightforward than Senior Kasumigaoka's joke.

Kasumigaoka also widened her eyes. As someone who liked to say similar things to tease Li Nian, after hearing these words, she always felt that what Teacher Nayuta said did not seem to be a joke.

Meaningless information once again flowed into my mind.

Li Nian frowned: "This joke is not funny."

"If it's Li Nian, then I really think it's okay."

"..."

Li Nian took a deep breath and felt that he could not ignore the girl's words like he ignored Kasumigaoka's dirty jokes, so he reminded her, because looking at her with that look, people would know that she was serious and not joking at all, and now she has admitted it.

Li Nian became serious. If it was just a joke, it would be fine and he could just laugh it off, but now he got angry and warned, "Girl, please respect yourself and don't say such things casually. You may really like me, but even if you like someone, don't give yourself away before you have established a relationship and see that man clearly."

Nayuta was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily: "Li Nian seems to be the kind of person who takes love very seriously."

"You're not? If you're just thinking of playing around, you'd better give up as soon as possible. I won't accompany you."

"I'm serious too." Nayuta emphasized again: "I'm not stupid. Of course I will observe carefully the person I like. Although I don't fully understand you, Li Nian, I have made a good judgment whether you are someone worthy of my liking, okay?"

"you sure?"

"When we first met, I knew that you, Li Nian, would not turn a blind eye to people in pain. You hate evil more than others and would lend a helping hand without hesitation. You are very good at observing people's expressions and speaking, and you can make everyone who communicates with you feel comfortable, but you will not agree with others casually. You have your own ideas and principles, and you will say things that others dare not say, do things that others do not want to do, and you can also see other people's troubles. Only in this way will you help me, teach me to resist, and give me strength and courage. On the day I went to school, you were also watching silently. Were you worried that something would happen to me? I don't think such a person would be a bad person. Are you hiding something where I can't see? Maybe, but Senior Xia Shizi, who has been with you for a longer time, understands you better than me and trusts you more than me."

Before coming here, Nayuta had been thinking about things related to this man. She did not make the decision to confess on impulse, but made it after careful consideration.

Since they met again, Nayuta has been looking at Li Nian.

Watch his every move, every word and every action.

"After I thought about it, I decided to approach you and confess my love to you because I wanted to get to know you better. I think you won't let me down. The more I get to know you, the more I'll like you."

"Aren't you disappointed in the end? As you can see, I'm a boring man."

Nayuta shook her head. "How could that be? Now that I've finally met classmate Li Nian and seen you walking with your friends, and seeing that not only Kasumi Shiko, but everyone around you trusts you and is willing to gather around you, I know that you are more trustworthy than I thought. Now I know that you will take love seriously, which is even better. It means that if you like me, you will love me well. You see, the more I get to know you, the more I feel that you are someone worthy of my liking, just as I expected before."
