"Ah, no." Seeing Yagyu Sakura lower her head and stop talking, Yuanye panicked and tried to make up for what she said, "I mean, is that the setting of your new book? Can you see through people's hearts? A miko? It would be very interesting."
"Zero points, Minamoto-san." Yagyu Sakura raised her head, the sweet smile that seemed to have been carefully adjusted still hung on her face like a mask, "If it weren't for me, anyone would say that in this context At the same time as he said those words, he was already out for good."
"But I have a lot, so I'll let you go." Yagyu Sakura said generously, "How about it, are you happy?"
Genya suddenly felt that the Yagyu Sakura in front of him was like a doll. Even if the craftsman who made the doll had exquisite skills and could make the doll lifelike, no matter how exquisite the doll was and how superb the technicians who operated the doll were, When the puppet moves, it always reveals an inevitable stiffness, which makes people feel fake and scary.
For some reason, Yuanye suddenly wanted to know something, so he spoke: "Yagyu, why did you write it?"
"To suddenly ask such a question that seems to pry into privacy." Yagyu Sakura muttered, "It's really confusing, Minamoto-kun."
"Then the tolerant Miss Yagyu, can you help me, a person who doesn't understand the charm?" Yuanye said flattering words obviously insincerely.
"Since you've made such a request, I can't refuse, but where should I start?" Yagyu Sakura put her index finger on her cheek, pretending to be thinking, "By the way, what's wrong with Minamoto-san?" What about the one who understands 'name'?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Ye didn't understand and asked subconsciously.
The question was obviously raised by herself, but Yagyu Sakura did not wait for Genya to give the answer, but continued: "The so-called 'name' is actually a code name given to people by 'The World', and it is the only one given by 'The World' something that man acquires rather than man himself.”
"And precisely because it is the only thing that is not obtained by people themselves, it represents everything that people have obtained." Yagyu Sakura said inexplicable words, "Names have power, no matter who it is, as long as it is named If you have a certain 'name', you can have everything behind that 'name'."
"The converse is also the same. If someone uses your 'name' to achieve a happy life, then you who have this 'name' will have a happy life." Yagyu Sakura said seriously, with a serious tone. As if narrating some absolute truth, "This is why I write."
"I don't quite understand? Does it mean that Yagyu you project your own feelings into the novel to empathize with the character?" Yuanye asked in a guessing tone, "This means that the heroine in your novel has the same name as you. Is it because of [Sakura]?"
"You really read it, I wrote it." A tired smile flashed across Yagyu Sakura's face, "A little, a little happy."
"You are right, the reason for using the same 'name' is that I hope that even in the middle of the country, I can have a slightly happy life." Yagyu Sakura continued, "This is the only thing I have, The freedom that belongs to me alone and will not be interfered with by others.”
"Then this book is really important to you." Although he still didn't understand the meaning of Yagyu Sakura's words, the sadness in the girl's words was enough to make Yuanye take action, "If you want, I can help……"
Before Yuan Ye could say anything, he was interrupted forcefully by Yagyu Sakura: "Yuan-san, don't you think you are taking too much care?"
"Eh?" Yuanye was stunned. He didn't expect Yagyu Sakura to speak like this.
"If I hadn't interrupted you, I'm afraid you would have said that you could help me save this book." Yagyu Sakura stared at Yuanye's eyes, "Someone suddenly rushed out, and then said to himself Come and save me, don’t you think this is annoying? In fact, it’s actually annoying.”
"I hate people like this. I don't need others to take care of my affairs. It has nothing to do with you anyway." Yagyu Sakura's words were projected out like sharp blades. She knew clearly that this would cut the people who care about her, but she Still saying that.
"Genya." Yagyu Sakura called Genya by his name for the first time. "Promise me that you will leave me alone even if I die. If you get involved in my life, I will hate you."
"The relationship between us stays at the stage of being acquainted classmates, that's enough."
"Did I do something wrong? If it's because I did something wrong that made you angry, I apologize." Yuan Ye noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and hurriedly tried to make up for it, "Don't look at me. I usually don't At first glance, I actually hold quite a lot of shares in this publishing house. If I want, I can let them sell your book..."
"So gentle, Minamoto-san." Yagyu Sakura moved her head away, no longer looking at Yuanye's face and speaking, using this action to show silent resistance, "But I seem to understand, Minamoto-san, although on the surface, He is very considerate of others, but surprisingly he is a very serious egotist.”
"But it's you like this that makes people very, very uncomfortable." Yagyu Sakura said decisively, "I hate egoistic heroes like you the most."
Like an actor in a play who has finished his final words, Yagyu Sakura simply turned around and left without any hesitation.
Yuan Ye froze in place. After a while, he subconsciously muttered to himself: "Am I very... egoistic?"
But the moment he said these words, Yuanye understood.
——In the end, what I care about most is what other people think of me?
——From this point of view, I am really an egotist.
Yuanye stretched his hand under the sensor faucet, took a full cup of water, and slapped it hard on his face.
——It seems like I had bad intentions from the beginning.
——From the moment I discovered Yagyu, I have been pursuing such a dramatic scene in my heart: that is, when she is most lost, a savior appears to save her from the fire and water, and gain pleasure from this act of self-satisfaction. Feeling, it would be better if I could get the admiration of a girl, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t, because I have already gained enough self-satisfaction from this behavior.
——It’s hopeless, this self-centered thing like me.
Yagyu Sakura's words passed through Yuanye's body, giving him a rare feeling of being unconcealed.
"Yagyu is right." Yuanye said to himself, ending this thought with this sentence, "What does her matter have to do with me? I am just pursuing self-satisfaction."
With such thoughts, Yuan Ye returned to the venue. At this time, the venue had turned into a small restaurant. Exquisite meals were placed on the long table in the center of the venue for everyone to take as they pleased. The shareholders' meeting entered the final dinner stage.
