Chapter 25: Perfection with Flaws Perhaps It Is the Beginning of His and Her Pursuit (11)

As a result, of course, I came to the dean's office with me, of course, it wasn't just me and him, and Yeyue followed without a word. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info walked out of the classroom, and when I entered the office, I felt that all of a sudden the whole person became quiet, giving people the impression that this office is a comfortable place.... It's just the surface.

If I had a choice, I'd rather go to the library, as soon as you walk into the library, anyone will have to be quiet, or the caretaker won't be more polite... Of course, the people here are not very polite...

Dean Yeyue motioned for me to sit on the sofa, while Yeyue sat on a chair by the wall, as if she had formed a habit, and I don't know what this adult is looking for me... To be honest, I'm panicking right now and my head is messy.

[....]

[....]

Yezuki's father walked to the desk and sat down, put his hands on top of it, supported his chin with his arms, and looked at me with a deep forehead, and then, he and I looked at each other and fell silent.

[Christmas... It's coming. ]

For a long time, I don't know how long, when I was about to lose patience and lower my eyes, finally a low, slightly hoarse voice came from the other side.

[I know..]

You'll know if you don't need to be reminded, right? It's only two weeks until Christmas... Speaking of this common sense, as long as there are countries that make Christmas an official holiday, they will remember it... So, there's more to Christmas than that...

Then, there was a heavy nasal voice, as if he was sighing, as if he was sitting and preparing, and Yeyue's father slowly sat up straight, looked at my face and let out a short sigh.

[So, do you have any plans?]

[... What does that mean?]

Wait, that's not right. Did I hear it wrong? Or is there a difference in understanding? No, no, even if I can tell you, it's okay, but don't you think it's too much to ask?

[It's literally...] Christmas is very Christmas Eve, what are your plans?]

[Intended to refer to...]

[Reservations?]

Although he still said a cautious sentence in a tentative tone, he got a positive answer that was different from the inquiry just now. So, as he said, literally?

As for my answer... I cast some glances towards Yeyue, she was still sitting very quietly in the chair, even her hands were neatly folded on her laps, not only quiet, if she didn't look at it deliberately, she wouldn't even feel that there was anyone staying here.

[No, I think it's my own business.] So...]

[So it's okay with me, think I shouldn't and can't ask this question?]

It seemed that he had expected me to give this kind of answer, so he interrupted me before he finished speaking, gave me a gentle stop, frowned slightly after stopping, looked at me seriously, and continued to speak word by word

[So let's just say it, I'm not asking as a dean, but as an elder?]

[So it's my thing...]

Elders... It's true that there's nothing wrong with saying such things in terms of age, but ah, this kind of question is not that mandatory, it has to be answered, right? Not to be outdone, I looked at him and didn't know why... I always feel that I can't make this kind of ordinary and ordinary thing clear here.

Unconsciously there was a kind of resistance in my heart, not wanting to be known by others - to be precise, I don't want to, and I don't want Yeyue himself to know about the so-called reservation.

If you can... If you can pretend you don't know anything, you can just do it as usual. It's not the most perfect plan, but it's the best plan.

Maybe it's just in vain, this approach... But I can't accept it calmly.,So try to keep a little distance..

[I'm going to Paris for a symposium starting next Monday, and unfortunately I won't be able to make it back before Christmas. ]

[.... It's really like the words of a responsible elder. ]

[What if I told you that it was Xiaoyin who was invited on the other side instead of me, and that I was just a replacement?]

[Huh?!]

I couldn't help but be amazed when I heard an explanation beyond my comprehension, and I couldn't turn my head for a while, so I could only look at the dean in front of me, but it seems that my reaction made him satisfied... There was a rare smile on his face, but it was also a fake smile mixed with a smile of ridicule and relief, and he continued after a pause

[For some reason, this invitation can't be shirked.,Since Xiaoyin doesn't want to go, then I'm the only one who can go, right?]

[No, wait...]

[I'll take care of things when I leave, and I'll take care of the rest.]

After that, he motioned for me to shut up with a very vicious look, and then tilted his head slightly, does it mean that I can go?

The eviction order is really casual and can be clearly expressed.. Does this person, as a superior person, have this habit of sending people at will?

Well, forget it, it's just a change of the original plan.Nothing... With that in mind, I glanced at the night moon, got up, and began to walk slowly towards the door.

This time, though, Yeyue didn't follow, but a soft call came from behind me as my hand touched the doorknob

[And so on.] ]

I didn't know if this was said to the dean or to me, so I stopped and turned my eyes to the place where the voice came from - Yeyue was still sitting in her chair, her head buried low, and the hands in front of her were clenched into fists at some point, half-clenched.

After a moment, she continued to ask intermittently

[... Why, don't just say it...]

[What?]

[Why, not just refuse...]

From the trembling voice, I could hear a trembling that I couldn't hide, and when it blended with the perfect timbre, it made my heartstrings tremble, but I took a deep breath, couldn't give a convincing answer, and hesitated for two seconds before I began to speak

[Words of refusal... Didn't you say no in the first place?]

[Just like that?]

Without warning, I suddenly raised my voice, and of course the trembling component also increased, and when I looked up, I saw a pair of big red eyes without tears, and a face that had become uncomfortable with excitement.

[Just to that extent?]

[...]

I fell silent in the face of Yeyue's questioning words, to that extent... It's probably my limit.

Yeyue bit her lip, and the expression on her face slowly became relaxed, replaced by the kind of miserable smile that appeared on the face of the loser, but it didn't make any sound, just a miserable laugh that made people feel unbearable on the beautiful face

[Rejection or acceptance, so that you can more or less know what to do next, what needs to be done to change...] So, tell me...]

In the end, the words were almost like pleading, and they became lighter and lighter, almost inaudible but clear into my ears, and the red circles under my eyes became moist, the same pitiful appearance.

Ha... Why... I don't have to see it like this... Something that's hard to accept? I thought in my heart that if it was her, she should know why I did it, right? Wouldn't it be better to just be silent when I couldn't make a judgment? Sometimes, it's hard to make a choice, so I think it's better to just give up the right to choose... Am I wrong? Or is there something wrong with my thinking?

[What the hell do you need...]

In the face of this weak questioning, I can no longer remain silent, if I have to give an answer... So..

[No, I don't know... I was thinking about this from the beginning. ]

What is the definition of need? The patient needs a doctor to diagnose and the doctor needs medicine to treat the patient, so can I understand that the patient needs medicine? Isn't it? No matter how you look at this kind of thing, you can't get rid of one of them, and even if you don't have a doctor or a doctor, you can't get rid of it.

The question is, who among us – the doctors and the patients, and the medicines for the treatment of the sick – should play their respective roles?

I... I don't know.
