Li Nian's cheeks twitched, and she didn't even know she was that powerful: "Is it possible that you are a lover who sees beauty in everything, and you think everything about the person you like is good?"
"So, Li Nian, do you have any shortcomings? Please tell me."
Li Nian thought about it, but couldn't think of anything for a moment: "I am such a perfect person, it seems that there is no flaw to mention."
"You see, being arrogant is your biggest shortcoming." Wu Geng said coldly.
"I think this is also a manifestation of confidence. Isn't it another advantage?" Nayuta smiled.
Gosuke looked at Nayuta in disbelief: "Are you... serious..."
Li Nian herself couldn't stand being praised like that and felt a little creepy.
"I understand. Okay, I know that you really like me, Mr. Nayuta."
"You said you wouldn't accompany a girl who just wants to play around, but since I like you so seriously, you will accompany me, right?" Nayuta said hopefully.
Being looked at by those expectant eyes, Li Nian remained silent and sighed. He didn't want to say it directly, so he tried to hint at it, hoping that the girl would back down on her own. But now Nayuta obviously didn't mean to do that, so he decided to speak out.
"I won't accompany you. There is only one reason why I reject your confession, and that is that I don't like you."
Ah, I said it anyway.
Everyone more or less realized that Li Nian didn't want to say it directly, so he tried to persuade Nayuta to give up in a roundabout way.
Nayuta just nodded.
"I know. So I will try my best to make you like me, Li Nian."
“…This situation probably won’t change in the future.”
"I'll make it change."
Li Nian took a deep breath.
Generally speaking, are there any girls who are unwilling to give up even at this point?
"You are wasting your time on me. Now that there are no more people to bother you, you should enjoy your life better. You are in your prime and have just become a prize-winning author. Your future is limitless. Instead of investing too much in someone who doesn't like you, you might as well just give up and focus on writing." Li Nian said calmly, "It's better than running into a wall and getting hurt here."
"Even so, it doesn't matter."
Li Nian really didn't know what to say.
No one expected that even after being talked to this point by Li Nian, Karina Yuta was still unwilling to give up.
Nayuta suddenly asked.
"Student Li Nian, you seem to want me to give up all the time. Do you hate me? Do you think I'm annoying?"
Li Nian knew that if he nodded and said yes to this question, and admitted this sentence, he might be able to make Nayuta retreat...
I hate that he would say that without hesitation.
But would he hate a girl who likes him so much and tries hard to get close to him and understand him?
The answer is of course no.
"I don't hate you...but I don't return your feelings."
He didn't want the girl to get hurt by him, and thought it would be better to just stop her from thinking about him before that...but it seemed like he had failed.
"As long as you don't hate me, that's enough." Nayuta nodded in satisfaction. "It's your business to reject me, but it's my business to like you. Or should I not like you?"
"...That's right. It's your freedom to like someone. Similarly, if one day you no longer like someone and want to give up on your unrequited love, it's also your freedom."
"I won't give up. Get ready, Li Nian. I will make you fall in love with me."
Chapter 454: Smart People Can't Understand the Word "Love"
Li Nian frowned and rubbed his nose bridge thoughtfully.
This frightened Nayuta a little, thinking that this man was disgusted with her. She could not imagine or accept being hated by the person she liked.
"What, what's wrong... You said you don't hate me, did I lie to you... You actually hate people like me? Am I... Am I too persistent?"
"…I don't hate it, I just find it difficult."
"Generally speaking, it means something is annoying... But I know that Li Nian doesn't think that way." Nayuta breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: "Li Nian is such a powerful person, how could he find me difficult?"
He even felt that he was more difficult to deal with than an enemy as terrifying as the Tsuchigumo spider. This teacher Karina Yuta was a person that Li Nian felt was so difficult to deal with.
By tricky, I mean I don't know how to deal with it.
In the past, no matter what situation or person he faced, Li Nian had clear methods and ideas. He knew how to deal with it psychologically and behaviorally. If it was an enemy, he would think about how to kill him; if it was a friend, he would think about how to make him successful. As long as he could see clearly and think clearly, there would be no problem.
But I can't see clearly, I can't think clearly...
For example, a girl like this...who likes me and doesn't give up even after being rejected.
How should I face it?
“I just kind of don’t know how to deal with this situation.”
"...How about you just accept me without having to think about anything?"
"Only that is impossible."
Nayuta curled her lips, already feeling that the guy she liked seemed a little difficult to deal with.
But she changed her mind and felt that she didn't know how to face her own attitude. It was better than the previous clear rejection, so she smiled again.
"...I didn't mean for you to show that expression, Li Nian. It seems I pushed you too hard. I know my confession was very sudden and it seems to have disturbed your gathering with your friends. So, I'll take my leave now."
Although he had no intention of chasing her away, Li Nian was indeed relieved when he heard Nayuta say that she was leaving.
Sawamura hadn't seen enough of the excitement. He was just watching the exchange between the two people with nervous faces. The expressions of senior sister Kasumigaoka and the sharp-tongued girl were very interesting. When he heard that the sudden attacking teacher Nayuta was going to retreat temporarily, he felt a little regretful: "Oh? Don't, we have nothing to do, you can talk to this person slowly about some problems... uh, I suddenly remembered that we seem to have a little bit of business to discuss, well, goodbye."
The reason she changed her words was that Li Nian looked at her with a terrifying look and she felt a murderous aura, which was really scary.
Before leaving, Nayuta said to Li Nian: "Please consider my confession. I am serious about my feelings. If you ever change your mind and want to agree, you can tell me."
"... Nayuta-sensei, you should also go back and calm down."
"Yes, I will go back today. Can I come and talk to you, Li Nian, like I did today?"
"…If you just want to have tea and chat like this, I'm always welcome."
As if she didn't understand the warning, but only heard that she was allowed to come to see Li Nian again. Nayuta nodded with satisfaction, stood up and left.
The girl's departure was like the retreat of a tornado, making everyone, including Li Nian, feel much more relaxed.
From the appearance of Nayuta, her confession, to following them to this coffee shop and the various things she said, it was a wave of shock to everyone. Everyone had countless complaints in their hearts and each had their own ideas, but they didn't dare to speak out because the situation was delicate. Now that Nayuta left, the chatter that they couldn't help but express came to Li Nian.
"Tell me the truth about what happened! I really don't believe that just a little thing happened between you and this girl. It looks like she is in heat for you, okay? Don't say that you two are just casual acquaintances. I don't believe that you don't have any in-depth communication!" Sawamura was very excited: "I saw that mark! It looks like a yin pattern no matter how you look at it. Could it be that you have evil intentions and used some magic to manipulate others, and you actually fell in love with such a big-breasted beauty and wanted to make her your own..."
"That's bullshit, just shut up."
"How else can you explain why a beautiful girl of that standard would fall so deeply in love with a big, strong guy like you, just to save the girl? I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either. I also want to ask, who can I expect to tell me what's going on?"
Although this teacher Nayuta has made it very clear, it is because she regards Li Nian as the prince charming who can pull her out of the dark abyss. She seems to be thinking about her own things every day these days and has fallen in love with him.
But normal people would find that absurd and exaggerated, and would not be able to understand the underlying process. This is true for Sawamura and Li Nian herself.
He originally thought that the plot where the hero saves the beauty and the beauty falls in love with the hero was only played in stories and was unlikely to happen in reality, let alone in his own life. But now it seems to be really happening.
"There's nothing to doubt. If you haven't experienced isolation, you certainly don't understand other people's pain." Gogen seemed to be someone who could understand that kind of emotion. He had agreed with Nayuta's motives for confessing at the beginning. Now he said coldly with a hint of complaint: "If you lend a hand to a girl like that and save others, then you are the one who set fire to her heart without permission. Didn't you consider this situation before lending a hand?"
"Do I have to consider this situation? When helping someone, I have to worry about whether she will fall in love with me?" Li Nian was puzzled.
"…Don't do this to girls anymore."
"...You seem upset, why?"
Wu Geng was indeed very upset, very upset, as if something that belonged to him had been taken away, but he did not admit it, and only said: "It's your illusion."
Sawamura laughed, "Also, what's wrong with you hanging people like that, scumbag."
"What? Hanging someone else? Wasn't my refusal clear enough?"
"You should have said you hated me when you should have. You should have just ended it and stopped people from thinking about me. So there won't be any follow-up. What's going on now? It's obvious that I'm going to continue to pester you in the future, okay?"
Li Nian also felt that if he said "I hate her" against his conscience, maybe Nayuta would just give up, but he didn't regret not saying so, and just remained silent at this time.
"That won't work." Kato shook his head: "How can you force someone to leave by hurting them?"
"It might hurt for a while, right? But it's better than letting others take chances, and then repeatedly hitting a wall with this person and getting hurt all the time."
"That's not luck." It was Wu Geng who spoke up: "That girl knew that the man surnamed Li didn't like her, but she still refused to give up despite that. Whether she encountered setbacks or got hurt, she would accept it all."
Sawamura was stunned, and looked Gogen up and down: "...You seem to be speaking for her all the time, as if you understand her very well...But now an alien creature that looks extremely aggressive has intervened, are you really not afraid of having your things taken away?"
Wu Geng was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Li Nian. Seeing that he looked confused and didn't understand what Sawamura meant, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "This thing has taken root in the ground by itself. It is very stable. Not everyone can pull it out easily... and it doesn't belong to anyone."
Kasumigaoka smiled and said, "Yes, a single noble with a firm belief has a terrifyingly high defense. How could his defense be broken just by being accused of lying, right?"
When Li Nian heard the words "single nobles with firm beliefs", she understood that they were talking about herself, but she did not jump out proudly and promote the benefits of being single as she did in the past.
Sawamura originally thought that what these two said made sense, but when he glanced at Li Nian and saw his thoughtful expression, he knew that this man might have some ideas of his own, and his eyes widened immediately: "Have you wavered in your firm belief in being single?"
"How could that be?" Li Nian denied flatly.
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"I was just thinking that there really was a day when JK confessed to me. I felt a little sad."
Li Nian was not very calm inside.
Nayuta's confession made him realize that there really was a girl who liked him.
It would be fine if it was just for fun, but he did feel the girl's seriousness from her words and attitude. Regardless of her motives, the girl really liked him.
This was an emotion that was very unfamiliar to Li Nian, giving him an indescribable strange feeling, and he was at a loss because of this feeling.
Logically speaking, he is indeed used to interacting with girls. After all, he is often teased by Kasumigaoka, quarrels with Gogen, and plays around with Isayama.
But Nayuta's approach to him was different from those girls. When he was in contact with Nayuta, Li Nian could always think of Nayuta's bold confession at the beginning, so he could clearly feel her purpose and emotion. The other party came to contact you just because she likes you.
She wants to talk to you, hopes to understand you, and contacts you for this purpose. All of this is to make you like her.
This feeling... is good.
Which man would hate a girl who is so cute and likes you so much and tries so hard to get close to you?
Li Nian was sure that she liked this comfortable feeling.
Therefore, I was convinced that this was a very dangerous feeling.
Comfort often blinds a person and makes him make irrational judgments and actions. If he enjoys this feeling, he will seek it.
But this is wrong.
Since you have rejected others and don't like them now, you shouldn't enjoy this feeling.
He didn't notice what Li Nian was thinking at the moment.
Sawamura thought Li Nian was a little proud.
"Just be happy. This Nayuta teacher looks very good. That face, that figure. Tsk, tsk, it's a pity that such a beauty would confess to you."
An Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at his childhood sweetheart with disdain, "Don't make that disgusting expression like a lecherous uncle... Is there something wrong with your sexuality, Eriri? You always get horny for pretty girls."
"What? No way!" Sawamura argued, "I just wanted to draw someone else into the book!"
“It’s even worse!”
Li Nian laughed at herself. She really didn't think she had the charm to make people fall in love at first sight. "Yeah, I also think it's a pity that a good girl like Nayuta-sensei falls in love with me. She is a straightforward and talented person. Her confession was very sudden. Maybe she was temporarily blinded by the help I gave her. She will regret it when she calms down."
“…But, although I always joke that girls who like you are blind, I don’t think it’s a rare event for you to be confessed to.” Sawamura restrained his joking expression, glanced at the two girls over there, and then said to Li Nian: “You should be more aware of your own lethality.”
"…My fighting power is really high?"
"It's true that your charm is not bad. You know, stop playing dumb."
An Yi also agreed: "Now An Nian is very handsome, it's not surprising that he attracts girls' confessions."
“…Is that so?”
"You are a celebrity in school now. Even some girls in my class are interested in you. They said that the guy in the second-year group F is quite handsome and asked me to introduce you to them."
Kato also remembered something: "The girls in the class were also discussing you, Li Nian. When they were talking about the type of boys they liked, they mentioned that Li Nian is quite attractive, and many people agreed."
Wu Geng said disdainfully: "People like that are just sows that go into heat when they see the muscle mass. There's no need to introduce them."
Kasumigaoka nodded: "People like that don't understand the inner beauty of being human. There's no need to let Li Nian know them."
