The tall boy suddenly spoke with a cold and sharp tone, as if he was irritated and became very unhappy. At this moment, he stood there, frowning slightly, and his eyes swept across the audience.
But he no longer smiled gently like before, his face turned cold, as if he was serious about something. Li Nian exuded a different aura and showed a sharp feeling.
Tall, strong, outstanding academic ability, maverick style, dangerous rumors, scandalous gossip - although he always compares himself to an ordinary male high school student, in fact, in the eyes of Sobu High School students, Li Nian, who has all these characteristics, is a well-known guy and is regarded as a special existence. He has both martial arts and intelligence, as if he is the embodiment of the concept of "powerful".
Unlike an unknown person, Li Nian is a well-known figure among students, and people unconsciously look up to him. He has an almost transcendent "status" and does have a certain aura - especially when he seems to be serious, he appears sharp and intimidating.
Therefore, even in this situation, logically speaking, Li Nian, who was neither a member of the executive committee nor a participant in previous school festivals, was obviously a complete outsider. He barged into the situation with an overly emotional reason like "I can't stand it anymore", but people could not help but pay attention to him, look at him, and unconsciously put on an attitude of listening carefully.
Precisely because they were listening attentively, everyone in the room, when they were glanced at by Li Nian with a disdainful gaze and addressed as "everyone", could feel that what this person said was directed at them.
Hikigaya's expression was frozen.
Wait, dear, isn't your answer a bit out of context? It's a bit inappropriate to emphasize the stupidity of "everyone" at this time. You just need to focus your anger on me, right? You just need to deny that I am a bad person who "talks nonsense". What's the point of angering the person you want to win over by making a veiled accusation?
He winked at Li Nian frantically, but Li Nian was too lazy to look at him. He already knew what he was going to say. Without looking at Hikigaya, he spoke sarcastically to the whole audience.
“When everyone is doing stupid things together, should we also laugh and shout that it is correct, and then do stupid things together?”
It's as if it's saying that the ones who are being stupid are all of you here.
Many people in the audience felt uncomfortable, frowned, and were unhappy.
Yang No also knew that she was one of the people being criticized, but she didn't mind it. She had even noticed the trick between the two of them.
Because Hikigaya had mentioned Li Nian before, this man who disliked everyone seemed to admire Li Nian very much. Suddenly, these two people started to confront each other, which seemed very unnatural to Yang No.
Guessing that they had some sort of agenda, Yang Noi found it very interesting and watched them continue their performance with great interest, without saying a word.
Hikigaya could only bite the bullet and continue speaking, trying to get into his role.
Well, he is an executive committee member who is passionate about his work. He thinks about everyone and tries hard to make the school festival better and create beautiful memories for his classmates. So he can't stand Sagami Minami's incompetence and thinks that Yukinoshita Yukino is more suitable to be the executive chairman. At this time, he is about to force Sagami Minami to step down, but an outsider who knows nothing comes out to disrupt the situation...
——Well, Hikigaya couldn’t even imagine himself being like this, and felt disgusted, but as the saying goes, the one you hate the most is also the one you understand the most, and Hikigaya knew exactly what to say to this kind of character.
"Student Li Nian, you are an outsider who knows nothing, so it's better for you to shut up and not say anything."
This was also the thought of many people in the field. Hikigaya said this on their behalf, causing them to nod secretly.
But Hikigaya said this deliberately so that Li Nian could use herself as a window to face this problem directly.
"what?"
Li Nian also cooperated well and got into his role. He was a passionate young man who couldn't stand to see an honest child being bullied and stood up to speak up for justice.
At this moment, he felt as if he was provoked, frowned, and snorted from his throat, revealing obvious hostility.
Hikigaya didn't know if he was acting or not. He was really scared. He felt that having such a tit-for-tat rivalry with this person was really bad for his heart. His voice trembled, but he still spoke bravely.
"Did I say anything wrong?"
At the same time, I pray that this person can grasp the key of "conquering people with virtue" and can really say something convincing.
Li Nian really understood that the key to criticizing others is to maintain the moral high ground and speak the truth. Although he was angry at this time, he still nodded and agreed with Hikigaya's statement.
"...You're right. I'm an outsider and don't know much. I just came here today for something and happened to see this show by chance." Li Nian said with a sneer, "But as the saying goes, those involved are often confused while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. From what I, an outsider, can see that the people on your executive committee seem to have some misunderstandings on several key points."
I still use "you guys"...
Hikigaya groaned inwardly, knowing that this person was unwilling to restrain his target and was still firing cannons, but he still had a cold face and said sarcastically as if he didn't care: "Then, this outsider came up with a brilliant idea after just one look, can you tell us about it?"
"You asked Sagami-san to hand over the executive chairman's seal to whom? To Yukinoshita-san over there? Just this idea itself reflects two misunderstandings. For example, even if Sagami-san is willing to give it, have you asked Yukinoshita-san if she is willing to accept it?"
Yukinoshita Yukino narrowed her eyes slightly. Her sister could see that her younger sister was not blind either. She knew that these two people with similar interests were just acting.
At this time, he smiled and shook his head in agreement: "Don't say stupid things. I said that I will only fulfill my duties as an executive committee member. What others think has nothing to do with me. I will not be the executive chairman. Now, as the vice chairman, I am already satisfied with assisting Sagami-san's work. I don't want to take over that seal."
Li Nian pointed over and said, "Listen, this is what the person involved said."
Hikigaya showed a "surprised" expression. Li Nian did point out the key point. When Hikigaya forced Sagami to hand over the seal, he did not ask the other party whether he was willing to accept it.
As if he was unaware of this fatal mistake and as if he thought Yukinoshita would accept it calmly, Hikigaya was shaken as if he had been betrayed.
But he was not defeated yet. He forced himself to calm down and continued to be stubborn: "Even so... well... I feel that Sagami is not suitable to be the executive chairman anymore. Seeing her clumsy hands and feet, she is obviously not good at handling this kind of thing. It seems that she is doing it in pain. Handing over the seal should be a relief for her, right?"
"That's the second misunderstanding." Li Nian had expected Hikigaya to say this, so he sneered calmly, "What basis do you have to say that Sagami is not suitable to be the executive chairman? Just because of his mouth? I think if someone wants to hand over power, he must be really incompetent, right?"
Hikigaya seemed to have found a loophole, his expression lit up: "Yes, that's right. Compared to Yukinoshita, Sagami-san's work is really... a little lacking."
Sagami lowered her head in shame once again. This was the perception of everyone in the room, including herself. Although Hikigaya used euphemisms, he actually put on the table this matter that everyone avoided talking about openly but was reflected in their daily words and deeds.
"Oh, so what?" Li Nian asked back, "The vice chairman did a good job, which means the chairman failed to do his job? What kind of idiotic idea is this? The chairman's responsibility is to smoothly promote the holding of the school festival, right? I see that your executive committee is running pretty well, isn't it? Oh."
Li Nian smiled playfully.
"Do you think it's all Yukinoshita-san's fault?"
Hikigaya didn't say anything, but his expression seemed to indicate that this was the case, and this was also the common thought of many people in the room.
"But who was the one who promoted her to this position and gave her the power to do whatever she wanted? Who was the one who also tried hard to fulfill her duties and did the necessary but inconspicuous hard work? Do you want to say that Sagami-san has failed in her duty?"
Sagami raised her head suddenly. This was exactly what she had been doubting about. She felt that she had done something. Even if she did not do as much as Yukinoshita, she should not be said to be derelict in her duty. She was not sure about this at first, but when Li Nian pointed it out, she suddenly realized that she did not need to waver at all. She had done her duty!
This moved her so much that she almost wanted to cry. She felt that she had received rare recognition and that all her hard work had been worthwhile.
Hikigaya was "speechless".
Li Nian did not give up and continued to pursue the victory, saying: "Then you will think, is this the extent? I can do it too?"
As if he felt that this was the case, Hikigaya's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously: "Isn't that right?"
"Well said!" Li Nian applauded, and then asked, "Why don't you go up?"
Hikigaya is "speechless again"
"I just heard that no one stood up when running for chairman." Li Nian's eyes swept across the audience again. This time, many people avoided looking directly at him. "If you haven't been elected and haven't done anything, you have no right to speak. If you were really allowed to be elected, you might even do better than others. The difference between doing and not doing is huge. Do I need to remind you? Yes, others may only have [this degree] of credit, but this degree of credit is still credit. If you have done something and achieved results, no one is qualified to deny it."
Hikigaya was silent, then sat down dejectedly as if admitting defeat.
A silence.
It was obvious that these two people were arguing with each other, but anyone with a normal mind could hear who Li Nian was talking about and could identify the "you" that Li Nian was referring to.
Those who could resonate with Hikigaya's words were criticized by Li Nian, even if they did not confront Li Nian directly.
Hikigaya's defeat at this time made these people feel a sense of loss and defeat, but no one could continue to stand up to refute Li Nian. Either they did not want to attract attention or offend anyone... or they were simply unable to refute those "positive arguments".
After all, he was just being blamed for something else. With the fig leaf of Hikigaya, everyone can think about Li Nian's words more calmly. As long as you think about it, you will feel that what he said is right.
Scanning the room with a look of "Who else!", Li Nian found that no one stood up to continue the argument with him. He felt a little regretful and smacked his lips with an unsatisfied look. It was quite refreshing to have such an opportunity to criticize others. He continued to talk at this time, but he did not continue to be sarcastic to anyone. Instead, he said to Sagami.
"Sagami, well done, you've worked hard."
This frank praise finally made Sagami, who had been trying hard to hold back his tears, unable to hold back his tears.
With an uneasy heart, I decided to change.
Work hard to perform your duties.
However, their light was obscured and ignored in comparison, so that even they themselves began to doubt whether their actions were valuable.
It was finally corrected and defended today.
The enemy who once treated her like a worthless person finally faced her and accepted her.
I got the compliment that I had always wanted.
Sagami cried, but it was because he was very happy. He laughed while crying and said with a sob, "I didn't expect... it was you... Thank you... Thank you..."
Li Nian was shocked to see the girl crying, but was relieved when she saw she was laughing. She still reminded her, "I told you that the fruits of labor are sacred and inviolable. This is true for Gogen and Sagami-san... Then, you should say something to protect it."
This was a reminder for Sagami to stand up and speak at this time. Sagami understood and nodded.
Then he took a deep breath, wiped his eyes, calmed himself down, bowed to everyone, and spoke in a trembling but fluent voice.
"I know that my abilities are limited and I can't compare to the truly capable people. I feel ashamed to be the executive chairman. But as Li Nian said, I think I have done what I can and haven't done anything wrong. If no one is willing, I would like to continue to be the executive chairman. After all, like everyone else, I also want to run this school festival well and make all my efforts more valuable. In the future, I will work harder to learn and work from Yukinoshita, hoping to help everyone more. If there is anything I have done wrong, please feel free to give me advice and point it out. I will definitely change it. So please allow me to continue to sit in this position, okay?"
With Li Nian and Hikigaya singing the same tune, the issue was brought to the surface, pointed out and analyzed. Those who had previously disagreed with Sagami could not get around Li Nian's accusations. They were not really bad people who liked to belittle others. They began to think about the role of the executive chairman, Sagami Minami, who had seemed transparent.
Then everyone realized that Sagami was indeed an executive chairman who was conscientious in his duties. He was doing the hard and tiring work that no one wanted to do, and it was inappropriate for him to be compared with Yukinoshita.
Now Sagami herself has admitted her incompetence in such a humble manner, which has made many people feel ashamed and made them realize that it was her own unintentional bad words and deeds that forced her into this situation.
Senior Xun hurriedly said, "Sagami-san, what are you talking about? You are a competent executive committee chairman. Please raise your head... Hikigaya-kun is a bit too much. No one wants to talk to you to this extent."
Senior Xun only said that Hikigaya was exaggerating, but she didn't say that Hikigaya's remarks did not represent everyone's opinions.
No one stood up to rebuke Hikigaya. Those who understood knew who Li Nian was talking to. It was clear that her words were not directed at Hikigaya, but at everyone present.
He is worthy of being the most dangerous man in Sobu High School. When he gets angry, his sharp aura is really terrifying. The onlookers are terrified. Li Nian does not just use his power to suppress others, but his words are reasonable and based on truth even though he speaks with sarcasm.
No one has the confidence to stand against this man like Hikigaya does and confront him.
Everyone looked at Hikigaya, who seemed to be speechless and lowered his head as if he felt ashamed, and felt a little sorry for him.
Everyone began to echo what Xun-senpai said, expressing their approval of Sagami.
Sagami finally said to Yukinoshita Yukino with a smile.
"Please give me more guidance in the future, Mr. Yukinoshita."
Yukinoshita smiled and felt that Sagami became relaxed, as if he had finally gotten rid of some revenge. She knew that the play performed by Li Nian and Hikigaya had achieved excellent results.
"Of course, I promised to assist you, Sagami-san, and fulfill your duties as the Executive Committee Chairman."
Before this, Sagami seemed to be forced into a desperate situation, with a heavy heart and a depressed state. Yukinoshita saw it all and, like Hikigaya, felt that this was wrong.
But it’s hard to do anything.
Now that Hikigaya had found external forces to solve the problem from his usual strange angle, she was relieved and felt that the executive committee had less barriers and began to accept the existence of executive chairman Sagami Minami and became more united.
So she had the confidence to respond to the challenges posed by her sister Yang Nai.
Yukinoshita turned to Senior Haruno, her face no longer anxious, she seemed calm and spoke calmly.
"Don't worry, sister. Just wait and see. I will assist Sagami-san and lead this executive committee to make it a school festival that is no less than what you accomplished back then."
Chapter 472: Want to play with people's hearts? It's really arrogant
Senior Yang No narrowed her eyes and watched the whole show quietly from beginning to end without making any statement. It was as if she was provoked by her own sister. She said that kind of words. It can be seen that the performance of Hikigaya and Li Nian solved a problem in the executive committee and increased the overall cohesion, so she had the confidence to say that.
However, she was still smiling at this time, but her response was a little sarcastic.
"That's great, Yukino. Someone helped you solve another difficult problem."
Li Nian glanced at her sideways and was once again convinced that this woman was indeed trying to provoke her good sister for fun. She said this because she was dissatisfied with Yukinoshita Yukino and watched Hikigaya and her own methods solve the problem of Sagami.
Understanding it is one thing, but it makes Li Nian feel even more confused. She doesn't know what's wrong with this senior sister Yang Nai. Why does she have to go through your sister's hand to solve the problem?
Yukinoshita obviously understood the sarcasm and seemed to feel really hurt. She curled her lips as if she really felt that this unreasonable accusation made sense. This made Li Nian realize that not only the elder sister, but the younger sister also had serious problems.
But after saying this, Senior Yang No smiled the next moment: "But it's good, yeah, this feeling of unity is great. It just makes me look like a bad guy."
When Hikigaya was teasing Haruno about her sister Yukino's refusal to serve as executive chairman, he decisively took over the conversation and led the topic to the farce of Sagami handing over power.
In a sense, it was like holding Sagami accountable according to what Senior Haruno wanted.
Regarding this, Haruno did not deny it or clear herself of responsibility. She just looked apologetic at this moment and apologized to Sagami frankly with her hands clasped together: "Blind date~ I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to do that, but now it seems that I said the wrong thing and caused you a lot of trouble."
Sagami hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, please don't be like this... It's my own problem. Compared to your sister, Yukinoshita, I, as the executive chairman, have done too little. It's natural that Hikigaya can't stand it."
"Haha, Hikigaya-kun...and that guy over there, it seems like they really couldn't stand your situation, so they couldn't help but jump out." Senior Yang Noi's eyes moved between Hikigaya and Li Nian, knowing that the current situation was what the two of them wanted to achieve.
Li Nian, upholding the good professional qualities of an excellent actor, had to finish the play and make the final compromise, so "the passionate young man who couldn't stand seeing the honest child being bullied before, calmed down a lot at this time, and began to reflect on himself as an outsider who spoke too harshly." After closing his eyes and thinking, he showed an apologetic expression.
"What Haruno-senpai said is right. It seems that the students from Hikigaya over there... and I both got a little carried away and said some stupid things. Sagami and the other executive committee members are all working hard with the intention of making the school festival a success. Based on this, none of us should be blamed. If I have made you angry, I apologize."
Li Nian suppressed his anger and became relaxed. He was no longer as imposing as before and returned to being approachable and peaceful, as if the sharp and imposing feeling he had displayed before was just an illusion seen by everyone.
"That's right, I feel the same way. I didn't mean to cause trouble to the juniors. Yukino, you're really making me sound like I'm here to cause trouble, when I'm clearly here to help." Senior Yang No pouted a little aggrievedly, looking very cute: "Like you, I also want to see the grand occasion of the previous school festival again. I clearly signed up as an aspiring group and wanted to add color to the school festival of the juniors. Is this a bad thing?"
"I've heard about Senior Yang No's performance. It was very grand. If you want to perform again, we would certainly welcome you." Sagami finally stepped forward as the executive chairman and fulfilled his duty to receive this distinguished guest: "Please come to my side to handle the relevant procedures."
"Okay, okay." Yang Nai walked over with a smile.
The sinister atmosphere was almost gone, and everyone continued to work. As if to avoid being looked down upon, they deliberately displayed a more positive attitude than before and spoke louder, in order to please everyone.
Only Hikigaya's side showed a gloomy atmosphere. As a defeated villain, he had to behave like a loser in a verbal exchange. Seeing this, Li Nian changed his mind and thought that he could just leave as soon as possible. He ignored everyone's gazes, walked over and pulled open the empty chair next to Hikigaya, sat down, and said with a smile.
"Hey, you little villain, thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect you wanted to do this evil job yourself."
Hikigaya was a little flustered and looked dissatisfied. He felt that now was not the time for Li Nian and him, the "enemies", to chat and laugh. He was still in the play, showing hostility and looking at him fiercely, but whispered: "Hey, coming over to chat now will make our previous performance seem a little fake, don't come over."
"The goal has been achieved. It doesn't matter whether it's exposed or not." Li Nian felt that the goal had been achieved. He had successfully made Sagami get the correct evaluation he deserved. There was no need to act anymore. He also knew that he had been exposed by smart people: "A lot of people have seen through it anyway. What if more people see through it? It's just right to let everyone know our good intentions, right?"
"That is……"
