Elf: I am invincible in tactics and I am pursued by the school beauty

"Let me introduce you. This is Granny Yayu, the former fairy king..."

Chu Qianqiu gently nudged Chen Tian with his elbow, interrupting his thoughts.

"Oh... hello!" Chen Tian reacted and quickly stood at attention and greeted him.

It’s not like Chen Tian hasn’t seen the King of Heaven before.

I even met the current superstar, Xia Di.

But he didn't have any special feelings towards the other person.

Perhaps it was because the other party was young, and he only acted as a guide throughout the whole process, which alleviated the sense of oppression from the king.

In other words, if they met Xia Di on the street and someone told him that Xia Di was a superstar, Chen Tian would not believe it.

But if he said that the Grandma Yayu in front of him was the king, he would believe it.

It should be said that it is a matter of... temperament.

It’s not that Xia Di doesn’t have the ability, but that he doesn’t fit his stereotype of the king.

To be precise, the feeling Xia Di gave him was more like that of a worker who ran around everywhere, busy all day long, struggling for a living.

The Grandma Yayu in front of him seemed to have seen through the world. She did not pursue fame or fortune, but faced life with a contented attitude.

Such a person is more in line with Chen Tian’s stereotype of the king.

……

"Haha, you must be Chen Tian, ​​Qianqiu mentioned you to me before."

Grandma Yayu said with a smile, her tone full of kindness.

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed across Chen Tian's eyes.

"Told me?"

He turned to Chu Qianqiu curiously.

Although Chen Tian and Chu Qianqiu were not childhood sweethearts, they had known each other since junior high school.

It was even Chu Qianqiu who took the initiative to find him.

If he used his unknown identity and his cowardly courage, how could he dare to take the initiative to talk to Chu Qianqiu...

So even though so much time has passed, and even though he and the other party have developed to the point of discussing the depth of issues, Chen Tian still doesn't know the reason.

Chu Qianqiu, why would she choose him among all the flowers? And she is even so devoted to him.

Of course, he didn't necessarily have to know the answer to this question.

Everyone has their own little secrets, even the closest people are no exception.

As long as it doesn't touch the bottom line, there is no benefit in forcing yourself to know these secrets, and it may even cause the other party to be disgusted.

However, if you can find out by “letting it be”, then it is actually worth listening to it, and it can be used as a little fun before going to bed every night.

……

"Actually... I didn't mention anything, it's just..."

Seeing Chen Tian heading towards him, Chu Qianqiu saw a rare blush on his face.

This is a new thing for Chu Qianqiu now.

In the past, Chu Qianqiu would blush if she was hugged even slightly.

Even if you pick up Chu Qianqiu now, she won’t blush.

At most, I just blush from tiredness.

Therefore, this rare shyness made Chen Tian feel like playing a prank.

Before Chu Qianqiu could speak, Granny Yayu said cheerfully without any scruples:

"She said at the time that she often saw a little boy hiding in a corner crying, looking so pitiful."

"That child has been like this since she was young. She is obviously a girl, but she always fantasizes about helping others when she sees injustice. When she sees someone being treated unfairly or wronged, she will rush to help."

"Both father and daughter are the same in this regard, haha..."

……

Grandma Yayu’s words made Chen Tian’s mouth twitch.

Now the truth becomes clear.

It turns out it wasn't love at first sight at all.

It was because the other person saw how decadent he was that he felt so righteous that he couldn't bear it.

Just came over to lend a helping hand.

But think about it.

This reason is much more reliable than love at first sight.

He, Chen Tian, ​​has average looks, average emotional intelligence, average grades, and average personality.

You can't even see its shadow if you throw it into the crowd.

Why would the eldest daughter of the Chu family fall in love with me at first sight?

It’s just... I always feel a little blocked in my heart.

You thought the other person was someone who was only gentle to you.

In fact, the other person is gentle to everyone, not just you.

……

Chu Qianqiu, who was standing aside, keenly sensed Chen Tian's depressed mood and sighed softly.

But since Grandma Yayu was still there, it was not easy to explain on the spot.

So he just said:

"Grandma Yayu, thank you for your hard work. Let me take care of the rest."

As he spoke, Chu Qianqiu walked to Grandma Yayu and whispered a few words.

Then, a hint of surprise flashed across Grandma Yayu’s kind face, and then she looked at Chen Tian with a puzzled look.

"what do you mean……"

Chu Qianqiu did not answer, but just looked at the other person, and his eyes said it all.

“We know what’s going on.”

Chu Qianqiu just answered like this with a firm look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Grandma Yayu also sighed.

"Okay, as long as you can handle it well."

"Tianxiong is not a bad person by nature, but his father..."

Having said this, Grandma Yayu seemed to realize that she had said too much, so she stopped talking.

Then she looked at Chen Tian with a hint of...sympathy?

But soon, that trace of sympathy disappeared from her eyes. She shook her head, put the quasi-champion-level Sylveon back into the Poké Ball, hunched her back, and slowly left.

Perhaps this king of pop once had a glorious history.

But in the elf world, lifespan is still limited.

This is true for humans and elves alike.

Some elves are extremely long-lived, while others are extremely short-lived.

Parting with close friends by death is not uncommon in this world.

Fairy Eevee is considered a relatively long-lived species, and it has no problem accompanying humans throughout their lives.

Well, what about the others...

Perhaps, this is the price you pay for seeing through the world.

……

Chu Qianqiu looked at Grandma Yayu's receding figure with mixed feelings.

Grandma Yayu watched her grow up.

Even watched Chu Tianxiong grow up.

At the same time, she is an old king with rich experience. Many of her fighting routines were learned from Grandma Yayu.

In the Chu family, her status is self-evident.

A respected elder is an indispensable part of a family.

She had no children of her own, but that didn't matter.

All the Chu family members here are her children.

Although Grandma Yayu looks energetic now, only Chu Qianqiu knows what Grandma Yayu was like in the past.

When Chu Qianqiu left the capital, Grandma Yayu at least walked as fast as the wind, with her back straight, and looked cheerful all day long.

But I didn't expect that in just a few years, this kind old lady has become like this...

……

Chu Qianqiu felt a little uncomfortable, but was only sad for a moment.

Birth, aging, sickness and death, this is the inescapable cycle.

There is no need to feel sad about these things. In fact, at Grandma Yayu's current age, the fact that she is still so energetic is already a happy thing.

As for leaving, everyone will leave.

So what’s more important is to grasp the people around you and cherish every day of your life.

But speaking of the person in front of me.

Chen Tian is still in a state of wild thoughts...

I didn't care at all what Chu Qianqiu and Grandma Yayu said.

Finally, Chu Qianqiu couldn't bear to see his appearance any more, so he said calmly:

"I was only in junior high school when I said this to Grandma Yayu, and I did have this thought about you at that time."

"But then..."

"Think about it, if I just felt sorry for you, would I sacrifice myself for this?"

……

Chu Qianqiu didn't specify it, but the meaning was already very clear.

Indeed, there is no fool who would give himself away simply out of sympathy for the other party.

And he even asked for it at night...

Thinking of this, Chen Tiancai calmed down a little.

It turns out that I was thinking too much.

Just tell me, how could Chu Qianqiu only feel sympathy for him?

Sometimes I hate thinking too much about myself.

But there is no way, I just can't control it.

This is what people who have lacked love since childhood are like. They desire selfish love more than anyone else.

Sometimes this can even lead to serious consequences.

For example, yandere.

Of course, that is the final stage, and most people who lack love don’t have the courage to be yandere enough to imprison the person they love.

The conditions for achieving that kind of personality are still very harsh.

……

"So what you're saying is that you were fascinated by my subsequent personality?"

Chen Tian took advantage and raised his eyebrows.

The smug look on his face could not be hidden.

Of course Chu Qianqiu would not tolerate this.

"I didn't say that."

Chu Qianqiu snorted and turned his head.

Having said that, Chu Qianqiu really cares about Chen Tian.

In order to take care of the other person's emotions, you have to speak out those embarrassing thoughts from your past.

Because when it comes to things like this, both parties usually know each other’s feelings.

You know I like you, and I know you like me.

Especially with Chu Qianqiu and Chen Tian having such a frank relationship with each other so many times, it stands to reason that they shouldn't need to say "I love you" all the time.

Because it’s really embarrassing!

Just imagine, they are an old couple and they still say "I love you" all day long.

You might not feel it in an animation, but in reality, it would be so severe that you would have to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with your toes.

But people like Chen Tian are weird.

That is, if he really needs it, he will only believe it if it is stated openly.

If you don't say such things to him for a while, he will feel a little safe in his heart.

It's like trying to get an answer.

Before he says it, no matter how much you practice, he won't take it too seriously.

Such people are very troublesome.

Because they often frantically demand the other person's love due to lack of love, and as long as the other person shows the slightest impatience, they will become anxious and overthink.

It's tiring to get along with such people.

Therefore, the reason why Chu Qianqiu always saw Chen Tian being lonely in junior high school must be closely related to his personality.

It is conceivable that if Chen Tian had not met Chu Qianqiu, his life would have been a tragedy.

……

But now it seems that things have improved.

At least Chu Qianqiu didn't have to say it openly, and he could understand what Chu Qianqiu wanted to express.

It turns out that tsundere still has its meaning.

Fortunately, Chu Qianqiu was not as embarrassed as if he had said it directly...

Still awkward though!

But at least Chen Tian is quite fond of it.

It's gratifying, it's gratifying...

Oh yeah, there seems to be a roaring moon?
