Chapter 1162 Reason and Sensibility
Scott couldn't believe he lost to an "old man".
"I just don't like you childish guys. You are weak, narrow-minded, and average in academic performance. Hank and Charles are both doctors, but what about you? You can't beat me, you can't learn as much as me, and you are not as knowledgeable as me..."
"So why do you think I like little boys like you? You are neither as handsome as Xiu Yu nor as knowledgeable as him, and you are also childish to death. I am not one of those superficial girls, so of course I can tell the difference.
It's like you invite me for a drive. Come on, I can't fly as fast as I can. Who would be interested? You're nice, Scott, but you're not my type."
Qin rejected Scott without hesitation and clearly stated what she hated about Scott. After she said it so clearly, Scott finally realized where he lost - he thought that being almost as old as Qin was an advantage, but in Qin's eyes it was actually a disadvantage.
Jean just prefers mature and stable people instead of people of the same age, which is a little difficult for Scott to accept.
"I can understand that you think I'm childish, and I can understand that you don't like me, but I remember that Su Xiuyu is not single, right? Didn't he tell you? Or did he lie to you?"
Scott learned a lot of information about Su Xiuyu from Charles, including Harribel and Shanting. After all, it was normal for Scott to like Qin and pay attention to the people around Qin.
"I know, but I don't mind. I just like him, even if I'm not the only one." Qin's psychological preparation has been a long time coming. If she couldn't accept Su Xiuyu's question, Qin wouldn't have taken the initiative to confess, so this question itself is not a problem.
"But..." Scott was about to speak but Jean blocked his mouth with telekinesis.
"There's nothing to worry about. This is my own business. It's not your turn to tell me what to do." After saying that, Qin went straight to the library, leaving Scott with a confused look on his face.
"Don't be sad, this is normal." Hank patted Scott's shoulder, "There will always be some setbacks in life, and love can't be forced. In fact, there are still a lot of girls in the college."
"Hank, have you ever been rejected?"
"No, but to be honest I've never confessed my feelings, so of course I won't be rejected. But I think you don't need to feel sad, it's normal that you can't compare to Su Xiuyu. Relax, a bright future is waiting for you."
After Hank comforted Scott, he became even more depressed. It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, but once he did, he felt even worse.
"No, I have to go find the professor!" This was the first time Scott took the initiative to find Professor X, but when he opened the door of the room, he found Charles and Maura sitting together, and the two looked very sweet.
"Scott, what's the matter?" Fortunately, Charles and Maura were just sitting close to each other and didn't do anything excessive, so it wasn't awkward.
"I'm sorry, professor. I encountered something that dealt me a huge blow. I hope to talk to you about it." Scott planned to have a good talk with Professor X this time.
"Tell me what's going on, but it's best to keep it within an hour."
"Don't worry, it won't take that long. In fact, Qin and I confessed our love today."
"I know you like Qin, isn't that normal? Why were you rejected? This is also normal. It's normal to be rejected by a girl, and you can keep working hard!"
Charles seemed very tolerant. After all, for Charles, it was normal for young people to like someone else. Isn't this the way of youth? Charles was also a playboy when he was young, but the person he was counseling today was a frustrated young man.
"I was indeed rejected. Although I was prepared for the rejection, I still found it incredible when I heard Qin's reason. He thought I was too naive. Professor, do you also think I am naive?"
"Childishness is a subjective judgment of a person. I think you are fine because you are young. But if others think you are childish and you are not lying, then they really think you are childish. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with whether you are really childish or not.
If the other person is interested in you, even if he/she thinks you are childish, your childishness may be a shining point, but if the other person doesn’t like you, then your childishness is more fatal. "
Charles’ explanation could not relieve Scott’s depression: “But Qin said in person that she already has a boyfriend. Although this kind of thing is nothing unusual, her boyfriend is Su Xiuyu!”
Charles didn't think it was a big deal at first, but he was a little surprised to hear that Qin liked Su Xiuyu - "Did Qin admit this herself?"
"Yes, this is what Qin admitted herself. I find it a little hard to accept. I remember you said that Su Xiuyu is not young anymore, right? And Su Xiuyu is not single."
Charles opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. In terms of age, Su Xiuyu was of course much older, which Charles knew very well, but in terms of relationship, Charles didn't think there was any problem.
Qin is 20 years old this year, so it's no problem for her to get married - you should know that the legal age for marriage in New York State is 17 years old, yes, 17 years old. At the age of 17, you can legally get married in New York State.
In the past, Charles felt that Qin seemed to focus too much attention on Su Xiuyu. At that time, Charles thought it was just simple admiration. After all, admiring the strong is a very normal thing.
But now Charles has come to his senses. Qin was not paying attention to Su Xiu Yu at that time, but had already fallen in love with Su Xiu Yu. You know, so many years have passed, and Qin is only confessing her feelings now, which is beyond Charles' expectation.
"Age is not the only factor that limits relationships. Of course, being single is also a factor. I know you may think it's not good for a person to have multiple relationships at the same time. To be honest, I personally don't think it's good either—"
Maura obviously agreed with Charles' explanation and nodded along.
"But you can't stop people from volunteering! To put it bluntly, humans are creatures with rationality and sensibility intertwined. It's normal for rationality to overwhelm sensibility or vice versa. So don't think too much about why, and learn to accept reality objectively. Sorry, I may have said it too bluntly, but this is reality."
Charles knew that Scott was in a bad mood, but that didn't stop Charles from telling the truth.
