“I actually think I’m pretty tolerant.”
"When you say forbearance, do you mean the kind of way of speaking that can make people angry to death?"
"Well, speaking frankly doesn't mean I can't be tolerant."
Ling Wu Ji thought that it took him more than half a year to take revenge on Luo Hao, and he thought to himself that he was still qualified to say this.
But it was obvious that Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't want to discuss this topic with him.
"Oh, by the way, classmate Ling, when did you come to Japan to study?"
"At the end of the year before last?" Ling Wuji said, "Why are you asking this?"
"Just asking," the violent Chinese teacher looked exhausted. She had obviously never seen such a difficult student before, so she planned to start from other aspects to reform him. "How is it? Are you used to life in Japan? Is there anything you are not used to?"
"Quite a lot."
"For example?"
"When I eat out, I don't do the ritual of praying before meals, and sometimes people look at me strangely." Ling Wuji thought for a moment and said.
"But you still tolerate these places. Obviously you don't feel that Japanese society is something you can't adapt to, right? You must have encountered a lot of happy things, right?"
"good."
"For example?"
"What, for example?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka slammed the table angrily: "Those things that make people happy!"
Ling Wuji thought about it and shook his head: "When I said it was okay, I meant that for me, whether I return to China or continue to stay in Japan, it's actually the same. It doesn't matter whether I'm happy or unhappy. Of course, if you want to say that I encountered something happy in Japan and wanted to stay in Japan, does meeting many beautiful girls who meet my aesthetic standards count?"
"I thought you would give a more profound reason!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka said.
"A more profound way of saying it is that I felt the spark for love in Japan!"
"Then why don't I see you have a girlfriend?"
Ling Wuji said, "Teacher, I also told you that I don't have any plans for my life after I turn 18, right?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"The great British writer Shakespeare once said that any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is just hooliganism!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a responsible person, classmate?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned.
"Of course," Ling Wuji nodded seriously, "I just haven't decided how many times I want to get married!"
His words made the other two people in the classroom stop what they were doing and focus their attention on him. Hiratsuka Shizuka took a deep breath and said, "I have never seen a student as outrageous as you."
"That's because you are too rigid, teacher."
Ling Wu Ji sneered at her remarks: when she sees students who do not conform to her values, she pulls them into a club, under the pretext of reforming them. But in the end, are the students who have been reformed what she wants them to be, what society wants them to be, or are they students whose self has been deliberately distorted?
Of course, Ling Wu Ji also knew that what most people needed was to be a qualified part in society.
But he is not most people.
"No, I don't think I'm rigid, but," Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head, "I guess in your opinion, I'm the kind of teacher who imposes his or her own subjective opinions on students without regard for their wishes?"
"Uh, if you are so self-aware, why do you have to be so fussy?"
Ling Wuji implicitly acknowledged that statement.
"That's because only twisted students like you are worthy of being guided."
"Teacher, the source of your professional identity is a little too strange."
Ling Wu Ji started to complain.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"I don't think there's anything difficult to understand about that."
"I now feel that your problem is not your distorted values or your infuriating way of speaking, but your intelligence."

"Teacher, if you want to criticize my 'cleverness', shouldn't you add a small word?" Ling Wu Ji disagreed with Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, but still habitually helped her to modify the words.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because if a person is really smart, he won't be criticized by others," Ling Wuji just said, "No, it should be said that he won't be criticized by those he has to listen to."
"I didn't expect that you are actually a student who respects teachers at heart."
"That is."
"But since you know this, and you also know that the more mediocre you are, teachers like me won't pay too much attention to you, so why don't you act like a good student in the eyes of the world?"
"I can also use this question to ask you, teacher. You know that your appearance is not too bad, right? Why don't you play the traditional teacher role when you go on a blind date so that you can catch a better fiancé?"
"That...that's two different things!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was immediately angry again.
"In my opinion, it's the same thing," Ling Wuji said, "It's just a matter of cost. I don't want to waste time and effort on hiding my true feelings, so I choose to show my true face to others. Teacher, don't you think that spending time on hiding my true face is not worth the cost and will be exposed sooner or later? Since you can't accept paying that kind of cost, you naturally have to accept the consequences."
"But if, as you said before, I don't hide myself because I want to find someone who likes me now and I like him too, then there are actually many people who like your openness, right? Even those young ladies you mentioned don't seem to dislike you like this, not saying that dating without the purpose of getting married is hooliganism. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Teacher, why are you so concerned about my love life?"
When Ling Wuji heard her say that, he immediately asked.
Could it be that he wants the old cow to eat the young grass?
No, isn't the age gap too big?
"what are you thinking!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka saw his eyes flickering and immediately understood his dirty thoughts. She said angrily, but she finally said: "Didn't you say some time ago that you were using others as a mirror? So I also use you to reflect my own image."
"Teacher, have you entered menopause early?"
Veins popped out on Hiratsuka Shizuka's face: "Watch your words, little brat! What do you mean by entering menopause early?"
"So you've entered menopause now? It looks like you have a secret to keeping your youthful appearance!"
"I'm still in my youthful twenties!"
If she didn't know that she would be no match for the other person even if she fought, Shizuka Hiratsuka would definitely drag him out of the classroom and beat him up to let him know why the flowers are so red!
"But why did you come to that conclusion?"
"Teacher, under what circumstances would you look in the mirror? Are you unsure whether your appearance meets your expectations?" Ling Wuji said, "The same is true for using others as a mirror. I thought this was just a problem unique to teenagers, but I didn't expect that you still have a childlike heart!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka had to repeat to herself: she had never seen such a difficult student!
Although he looks weak, he is not like Hikigaya Hachiman who would be oppressed by her force. Moreover, although her words are irritating, they are unusually convincing. Perhaps it is precisely because she cannot overwhelm the other party with force or words that it is extremely difficult to transform this person?
However, she had a vague feeling that, not to mention that her eloquence was not as good as Ling Wuji's, even if she could defeat Ling Wuji, Ling Wuji was not the kind of good student who would correct his mistakes. He would probably continue to do as he pleased, because in essence he was different from the other two people in this club. Those two people were probably just saying one thing and thinking another, while Ling Wuji was almost a non-human who was close to the unity of knowledge and action.
So you have to use force to overwhelm him?
But even though Shizuka Hiratsuka was extremely talented in this area, she obviously had no way of measuring the boy's ability.
"Teacher, why do you care so much about a Chinese student?"
"Just think of me as Mr. Fujino."
"But Brother Xun didn't become a doctor after returning to China." Ling Wuji raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that the female teacher could say such a name, but he still said it.
"But your great writer still regarded Mr. Fujino as an indispensable part of his life, right? I think it would be great if I could teach such a student and that student could respect me as much as Mr. Fujino."
So Ling Wuji turned to Hikigaya Hachiman and said, "Did you hear that, Hikigaya-san? The future of Japanese literature, Mr. Hiratsuka's professional identity, is on the verge of being shattered. It's up to you to save it!"
It's not my business!
If you want to have a fight, don’t bring me along!
When will I save the future of Japanese literature!
A lot of words came out of Hikigaya Hachiman's mind, but he still said blankly: "Oh..."
"Alas, if the future of Japanese literature depends on people like Hikigaya, then it will surely be reduced to a situation worse than toilet paper, right?"
Yukinoshita Yukino said.
"I'm talking to you. My liberal arts score is at least fourth in the whole grade!"
Hikigaya Hachiman immediately showed that he did have some talent in the humanities.
"I don't know what's so great about this kind of achievement."
The girl just pushed back her long hair on her shoulders, and looked out the window instead of at the dead fish eyes, and said.
"Ah, Hikigaya, I forgot to tell you that Yukinoshita's liberal arts score is second in the whole grade."
"Yeah? Who are the first and third?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed at another person in the room and said, "He is the first one, and the third one seems to be Hayato Hayama."
“Can an international student get first place?”
Hikigaya Hachiman was shocked.
"Do you have any opinion?"
"No, there isn't."
Hikigaya Hachiman didn't dare to say anything, but in his heart he was complaining about why a monster like you still stayed in the world? Heaven is where you should go, right?
Hiratsuka Shizuya sighed deeply: "Forget it, I am too lazy to care about you, you can do whatever you want in the future. It is not a sense of accomplishment to teach a student like you who is stubborn and stubborn."
"Because I don't think there's anything wrong with me," Ling Wuji simply said, "Some people think their pain comes from not being able to fit in with the group, but I don't care about that at all."
"Huaxia actually advocates collectivism, right?"
Volume 3: Between Man and God: Chapter : Campus Youth ()
"But in my opinion, the collectivism advocated by the Japanese is more like the insurmountable order in the hierarchy of feudal society. The American also said in The Chrysanthemum and the Sword that the Japanese naturally tend to be content with their own positions and to be in their proper places, but these 'positions' and 'places' are essentially divided into upper and lower levels of respect and inferiority," Ling Wuji really couldn't agree with Hiratsuka Shizuka's statement, so he said, "And teacher, you have actually heard of the so-called campus class pyramid in Japanese schools, which divides people into modern people, ordinary people, otakus, and people who can only eat lunch boxes in the toilet. People in the latter class can only look at the faces of people in the former class. This can indeed clearly distinguish between the upper and lower levels of respect and inferiority, and it can also make it easy for people to find their own position in the group, but is this class division correct?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head, but couldn't help but explain: "It's just the trend..."
