The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Is it a bad thing to be a person who obeys the rules?

Isn't it an advantage to adapt to the rules faster than others?

Why do you say, tamed?

Cedric looked at Sun Zhu and saw that the girl was just looking into the distance. Then her lazy voice came: "I just think that being able to persist in questioning authority and established rules is a precious ability."

"Is this what you always call a rebellious heart?"

"It's a pity that the twins are not strong enough now, at least not as strong as their brother. But they will definitely make some big noise in the future."

Cedric hung his head, seeming to be still thinking about her words.

"At least, we shouldn't accept everything unconditionally..." He whispered, "Maybe..."

"Hey, Mr. Sayid, we are still in the game, don't think about other complicated problems."

"Oh..." He raised his head again, flew closer to her, and even stretched out a hand to tidy up her hair that was blocking her eyes, and then he spoke slowly: "What should I think about now?"

"Help me think about how I can best defeat you."

“Should I be the one to think about this?”

"Have you learned to question my words?" Sun Zhu frowned, "You have changed."

"Oh... well, how about asking my mother to come over and take me away?" Cedric seemed to really start thinking about the feasibility of this problem. "If she comes, I will definitely listen to her, then you win."

"Aunt Fiona wouldn't be so worried about you." Sun Zhu shook his head. "Anything else?"

"Haven't you figured out how to beat me before?"

"I've always only considered you as a teammate. I'm not used to thinking about how to deal with you." Sun Zhu said honestly: "But I must beat you, so of course I have to show confidence."

"I'm not good at this either." Cedric said, "But if you keep flying like this, you will be the winner."

"Why?" Sun Zhu tilted his head. "You have one more year of Quidditch team experience than me, and you seem to have more patience than me."

"Because I don't have the determination to win." He smiled, "I'm still flying in the sky because you are here too."

"Oh, I see." Sun Zhu smiled, "Since you are the seeker, then go find me. If you can't find me within an hour, you will automatically admit defeat, right?"

"...You didn't bring your invisibility cloak with you?" He said helplessly, "Are we adding another rule?"

"This is a test of your basic skills." Sun Zhu said, "Don't worry, I don't have any invisibility cloak. Close your eyes for a minute, and if you can find me within an hour, you win."

"Hide and seek?" He laughed, "But you are much more conspicuous than the Golden Snitch, and there is no one else to interfere with me."

"Yes, so you will definitely be able to find me soon." Sun Zhu said with a smile: "Then let's make it quick and decisive. As long as I am successfully discovered by you, I will never cheat."

"Then I have another condition." Cedric suddenly said: "Don't limit the time to one hour, change it to half an hour."

"...Are you letting me win? Or are you really that confident?" Sun Zhu straightened his flying scarf, but saw him shaking his head and sighing, looking aggrieved.

"Just assume that I can only hold on for another half an hour." He closed his eyes, "You can start hiding now."

Sun Zhu controlled the broom and flew dozens of meters away.

In fact, this distance is easy to be seen. She continued to move in the direction she had planned, and Tongzi began to report the data to her: "You are more than 100 meters away from Cedric."

"One hundred meters is nothing to him."

"It's one hundred and sixty meters. In less than ten seconds, he should open his eyes."

Sun Zhu began to fly upwards and soon saw his destination.

It was a warm stone wall facing the sun, with some green grass growing in the cracks, full of vitality.

She leaned lightly against the stone wall, letting the broom hang in the air, and began to doze off with her eyes closed.

"Host, don't you need to hide a little more? Although there is a stretch of stone in front that can block your figure, he can easily see you as long as he changes the direction."

"No, let me rest for a while." Sun Zhu shook his head, "Is he starting to look for me?"

"He does seem to be thinking about where you are now." Tongzi began to broadcast Cedric's location to her: "He moved. Does he know where you are?"

"Okay, wait then."

"Are you tired? You have been looking at the scenery around here for more than two hours. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of it eventually."

"No, I'm actually still energetic. In fact, it's not uncommon for a Quidditch game to last two hours. And I didn't have to deal with bad weather, Beaters and Bludgers, and I didn't have to watch the Quaffle to get it into the basket, so I saved a lot of energy compared to the game. If it wasn't for Ced's request, I would really like to stay here for another hour."

"Do you think he won't find you?"

"He definitely won't come over. Do you think he's flying in the opposite direction of me now?"

"…Your guess is correct. Is this a coincidence?"

"Do you know how to get zero points in an exam? Of course, it's because you know the correct answer that you can successfully avoid it." Sun Zhu squinted his eyes and felt the gentle sunlight. "I told him not to admit defeat voluntarily and not to play passively, so now he is complying with the rules. However, it is for his own purpose."

"His goal is... to let you win?"

"At least he didn't go against me. In fact, he was just listening to me from beginning to end." Sun Zhu changed his angle, letting the sunlight cover his whole body more warmly.

Half an hour later, she landed leisurely and saw a black-haired boy with one hand wrapped around a broom and the other holding something, looking at her tenderly.

"Wow, classmate Sayid, I feel so sorry for you." She pretended to be surprised. "Did you know that I was actually about 18 meters above where you are now?"

"What a coincidence?" He looked annoyed. "I almost beat you."

"What are you holding in your hand?" She leaned over to take a look.

"Don't you need some energy, Miss Chaser?"

"That would be disrespectful to refuse, Mr. Seeker." She took advantage of the situation and said, "My classmates still need to work harder."

"There is one situation where the Seeker will not catch the Snitch even if he finds it." Cedric handed her a piece of egg tart. "That is when the team is behind by more than 150 points. Even if the Snitch is caught, the game will still be lost. At this time, we always have to weigh the pros and cons."

"This is the sunniest and warmest place in the White Stoat Mountain. I know you are here. Fortunately, you only need to hold on for half an hour... Now, you can think carefully about what you want to ask of me."

Sun Zhu clapped his hands and began to doubt himself because of the calm guy in front of him.

Why did she seem to have lost even though she had clearly won?
