"As you said last night, if I don't take your affairs seriously enough, you won't take mine seriously either. Only if I take mine seriously enough will you take my affairs seriously enough.
Therefore, I can understand it as: You are not serious about my affairs because I am not serious enough. Therefore, in order for you to be serious, I must be more serious! "
Bai Lan was silenced by Horikita's words.
Bai Lan Thinking about it.
Soon, he understood what was going on.
Bai Lan remembers what he said to Horikita last night: If Horikita does not seriously act as a "shield", Bai Lan will not help Horikita gain his brother's approval.
Bai Lan only mentioned the "punishment plan", and the logic was similar to "deduct money if you are late."
However, Horikita added his own understanding to the logic of Bai Lan, and derived "early arrival plus money" based on the concept of "deducting money for being late".
Horikita What this means is that she wants to "add money", and for this reason, she plans to "arrive early"!
Bai Lan just doesn't want Horikita to be passive and slow down, but he doesn't intend to ask Horikita to do unnecessary things!
After all, Horikita has done too much work. In order to "fair trade", Bai Lan naturally has to pay more to Horikita, that is, do more work!
In this way, Bai Lan has to be rolled up with Horikita.
Horikita is the king of volume who can fight for more than ten hours a day!
Bai Lan doesn't want to get involved with her!
In addition, the solution Bai Lan intends to provide is only inefficient, which does not mean it is inefficient.
Low efficiency means that if you want to get satisfactory results, you must put in several times the effort under normal circumstances.
In other words, as long as you work hard enough, you can still achieve your goal!
And "effort" is what Horikita is best at.
In this way, no matter how hard Horikita puts in Bai Lan's affairs, Bai Lan will also put in corresponding efforts.
Horikita works harder, Bai Lan also has to work harder.
After working hard to the end, Bai Lan might really be able to help Horikita achieve the goal she wants under the "drive" of Horikita through involution!
That's when.
Horikita will successfully gain the approval of her Student Council eldest brother.
And Bai Lan will gain Student Council's long favor from this.
As a result, the number of Bai Lan dropping out of school for violating disciplines has skyrocketed again!
Thinking of this, Bai Lan quickly replied, "In short, you just need to fulfill my requirements to the 'minimum'! Don't do unnecessary things! There is only so much 'reward' I am willing to provide, and it will be useless if you do too much!"
Horikita: "You get what you pay for. According to the principle of 'equivalent exchange' in the transaction, you only accept me to complete the 'minimum' work. Can I also understand that you only intend to provide the minimum help to me from the beginning?"
Bai Lan was silent for a moment.
In the end, Bai Lan chose to mess up.
Bai Lan gave up thinking and replied directly as if he was giving up on himself, "I won't pretend anymore. I'm showing off my cards. You're right. I only plan to provide you with the minimum help, because the 'minimum shield service' I got in exchange for 'minimum help to get your brother's approval' is enough for me! Your extra 'help' is more of a trouble to me."
For example, the maximum amount of food I can eat is two bowls, and two bowls are just right. Any more is just a sin and a waste. "
Horikita was silent for a long time, and then replied, "I already know what you really think..."
Seeing this, Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
However, Bai Lan was too happy too early...
The content of Horikita's email was not finished yet. When Bai Lan read it and saw the content at the end, he was instantly dumbfounded.
"I already know your true thoughts, so I have decided that until you think of a way to help me gain my brother's approval, I will continue to increase the frequency of interactions."
"I said, I don't like this. It bothers me so much when you do this!"
"Are you troubled? Well, it's okay. When you called Kushida to harass me all day long, I was also troubled. So, we are mutually exclusive. If you don't want to continue to be troubled by me, or even make things more distressing happen, then quickly help me find a solution! You scumbag!"
Seeing this, Bai Lan reacted instantly.
It seems that he accidentally exposed a weakness in front of Horikita!
Then, Horikita actually tried to use this weakness to take advantage of Bai Lan!
After figuring out the situation, Bai Lan suddenly realized a very scary thing, that is - Horikita actually started to play tricks!
Bai Lan was immediately shocked: He is dead! Horikita Manabu is broken! Her wooden head actually has a heart!
"The question is, Horikita from whom did she learn to be bad?" Bai Lan was puzzled.
97. Horikita's challenge and thank you gift, chance encounter with Ichinose
Horikita is actually getting scheming.
What a surprise.
But that's all...
"You want to take advantage of me just because of this kind of thing? If you continue like this, don't follow my requirements, and do some unnecessary things, our transaction will be terminated like this. I don't need your help anymore!" Bai Lan replied.
Horikita: "It doesn't matter, even if you stop the transaction, I can still continue to do this."
Bai Lan: "No, we have ended our relationship. Do you still plan to continue?"
Horikita: "It doesn't matter. You can do many things without being a 'couple'. I can continue to do some things as a 'pursuer'."
Bai Lan: "What are you planning?"
Horikita: "I am not your opponent in terms of force. I cannot persuade you to help me through force, but I found that I can achieve an effect similar to 'force persuasion' through this kind of thing.
That way, it doesn't matter whether you or I continue to trade.
As long as I continue like this, after you feel that the torture is unbearable, in order to prevent me from continuing like this and regain peace, you will eventually have to help me, and the result will be the same. "
Bai Lan: "Believe it or not, I will beat you?!"
Horikita: "You had no reason to attack me, I just did what a 'pursuer' would do.
According to your statement, you should choose to reject me through 'non-violent means' and a more 'gentle' way, and will not resort to violence. My brother said that you are a principled person. I trust your brother's judgment, so you don't want to break your principles 'for me', right? "
Bai Lan: "Horikita, won't your conscience hurt if you use this method to coerce others to help you?"
Horikita: "Only when you harm innocent people, your conscience will hurt. In your words, our relationship is one of 'mutual bullying', and the previous situation was that I was always at a disadvantage, and you bullied me more.
Now I am just retaliating with tit for tat, finding opportunities to win back a round. This is a matter of course, and my conscience will not hurt at all. "
Bai Lan: "Who did you learn this from? Horikita, you learned it badly, do you know?"
Horikita: "I learned this all from you. Since my brother approves of you, it means that there is something worth learning about you. Therefore, I plan to learn your style of doing things. It seems that the effect is pretty good."
Bai Lan was speechless for a moment.
Bai Lan: "Okay, okay, you're going to use your identity as a 'pursuer' to torture me now that you've lost your identity as a 'shield', right?
Well, you forced me!
Wait, I will find a girlfriend right away, wait until I become a person with a girlfriend.
If you continue to 'pursue' me like this, your behavior is 'poaching' and is an 'improper behavior'.
In this way, even if you 'like' me, you can't 'reasonably pursue' me. Let's see how you use your status as a 'pursuer' to torture me!
If you dare to continue under such circumstances, you are a 'tauren who wants to take advantage of the wall'. I will not be merciful to the guy who wants to be a tauren!
Then I can beat you with peace of mind! "
Horikita: "You know how to find a girlfriend? I don't believe it. It's probably a new 'shield', right?"
Bai Lan: "So what about the 'shield'? In short, it just makes you lose the rationality of torturing me as a 'suitor'!"
Horikita: "You will not succeed, at least, it will be difficult for you to find a suitable shield in a short period of time.
After all, nearly a month has passed since you first found a shield.
In this month, you haven't found a suitable shield, but you finally found me.
It can be seen from this that there must be very strict conditions for you to find a shield, and you cannot just find someone casually.
If you haven't found a suitable goal for a month, you may not be able to find it if you are given another month.
Until you find a new shield.
I have plenty of time to attack you.
Rather than struggling and then having to accept it, it is better to accept the failure directly.
You experience less trouble that you hate, and I save energy.
In addition, I guess that your requirement for a shield must be related to its ability to "defeat a love rival."
If you want to meet this requirement, you must either be so intimidating that people dare not challenge you, or you must be very good in easily visible abilities such as academic ability, physical strength, and appearance, so that people dare not compare with you.
Whether it's intimidation, academic ability, physical strength, or appearance, I feel that I am hard to beat among girls. What's more, if you want to beat me, you have to beat me in most of these events.
In short, you would be hard-pressed to find someone more suitable as a shield than me.
If you find someone whose 'combat ability' is not as good as mine as a shield.
Yes, you have found a girlfriend. Of course I can't just attack you anymore, because I need to deal with the shield first.
If you reluctantly find a 'substitute' for me, then she won't be able to help you block my attack.
Once I get rid of your shield, you will soon have to face my offensive again! "
After reading the content of Horikita's email, Bai Lan thought about how to fight back.
However, at this time, the class bell rang.
Because he had to go to class, Bai Lan didn't have time to think about his response slowly, so in the end he just sent a harsh sentence in a hurry:
"Just wait and see! I can find a better shield than you in a minute!"
"I will definitely break through your shield." Horikita quickly replied.
At this time, the teacher had arrived at the door of the classroom.
Bai Lan did not continue sending emails, but put away the phone with one hand and found the textbook with the other.
More than half an hour later.
The fourth period is over.
