[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

After the students around him dispersed, Xia Youjie imitated Huai Liang's movements and sat on the lawn under the shade of the tree.

"How's practice going?"

Huai Liang said without any modesty: "It's just a small problem. I feel like I can drift, but it's a pity that the car can't be accelerated. The coach will scold me."

Xia Youjie was a little surprised that he would actually listen to the coach's instructions.

Judging from his past behavior, Huai Liang seems lazy most of the time, but he loves to take shortcuts and find loopholes.

He attributed this to her laziness. After all, taking advantage of loopholes saves both effort and time, which is in line with the logic of lazy people.

And because of his powerful abilities, he is somewhat similar to Gojo Satoru. He basically bases his actions on personal feelings and is the type of person who ignores and defies the rules.

Although he thought so in his mind, he said without showing any sign of regret: "Great, great."

Huailiang pulled out some grass and started to weave it randomly: "You can get your driver's license next month, and then I'll take you for a ride."

Xia Youjie was delighted, but did not ask about the specific time. He just silently made a note of this activity and planned to squeeze out some free time for it.

"I brought some Kikufuku back from Sendai after completing my mission this time. Wu kept saying that the edamame and whipped cream flavor was the best. It's a specialty there."

Throwing away the grass clippings in his hand, Huailiang sat up straight with his legs crossed: "I find that you are very good at taking care of others, but you tend to neglect yourself."

This was the first time Xia Youjie heard such a statement, and he was a little curious: "How do you say that?"

"Take today for example. Jiejun remembered that I was practicing driving nearby, so he came to see me with an iced Coke..."

Huailiang tilted his head, "But after completing a mission from a place as far away as Sendai, we still have to travel all the way back to Tokyo. Shouldn't the first thing be to go back to the dormitory and rest?"

After a pause, she considered her words and continued, "For example, the Sendai specialty Kikufuku that I brought. Jie-kun can even clearly remember Wu-kun's favorite flavor, but he doesn't seem to have thought of buying anything for himself."

Xia Youjie explained with a smile: "Ah, that's because there is no specialty that I like there--"

Without giving the other party a chance to continue his argument, Huailiang quickly extended the topic: "I remember Jiejun's hometown is in Iwate Prefecture, right?"

"Yes, it's in the northeast of Neon. To be more specific, it's in Morioka City. The prefectural government office is there."

When talking about his hometown, Xia Yujie's eyes became distant, as if he was lost in memories. "There is a mountain called Iwate there, which is one of the famous mountains in Japan. It is very beautiful."

Huailiang followed up his recollection and described the specialties of his hometown: "Iwate Prefecture has especially delicious seagull eggs, southern pancakes, orange cakes... and Cave canned mackerel."

"Well, my favorite is the sesame-flavored southern pancake. Of course, the soy sauce flavor is also good."

Xia Youjie smiled and said, "How do you know this? My hometown is not a particularly famous city."

"Ah, Jie-kun, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course I really mean it."

Huailiang blinked and said sarcastically, "Because I wanted to know more about Jiejun, I went to check it out."

"What about lies?"

Huailiang bit his lip and smiled slowly: "I never bother to tell lies."

Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and chuckled a few times.

"Are you kidding me?"

The voice was filled with joy, but the ending tone was lazily stretched out, revealing an indescribable tenderness and charm.

"Next time I go on a business trip to Jiejun's hometown, I will definitely bring you some southern pancakes with sesame and soy sauce flavors."

Huailiang's voice was cheerful: "Look, Wu-kun knows how to tell you what he wants. Only children who make noises get candy."

Xia Youjie was touched and wanted to say, but I didn’t mention it, but didn’t you also take the initiative to bring me some specialties from your hometown?

But he is not Gojo Satoru. Due to his reserved personality, he cannot say such explicit words.

——Even in a joking way.

"Wu has always been popular with girls."

Huailiang raised his eyebrows: "Really? But from what I know, Ge Ji really hates him."

"That's because Satoru thought it was fun, and he means no harm to Utahime."

Xia Youjie supported his head with one hand, "As long as he wants, he can easily do it and make everyone like him."

It was a rare opportunity to see the other person open up and talk about his views on things, so Huailiang decided to seize this opportunity to deepen his bond with the other person.

Well, I'll just start by creating the image of a girl who loves him but is close yet distant.

"But in my eyes, Jie-kun is much more attractive."

She turned sideways and looked directly into the other person's eyes. His silver-gray pupils shone with hints of gold under the sunlight.

It also reflected the other party's stunned expression.

"Are you surprised? Naoko thinks so too."

The already upturned red lips raised a deeper smile, "Wu Jun's eccentric and unruly type is more popular with little girls, right?"

Xia Youjie recalled his best friend's increasingly strange behavior recently and asked tentatively: "Ryo-san really thinks so?"

"So what type am I?"

Huailiang rolled his eyes and pretended to recall: "When we first met, he seemed bad and hard to mess with, but after getting to know him, I felt that Jiejun was a very good at reading people's minds."

"He also cares about the feelings of those around him. He is a determined and gentle person."

How can such a contrast not attract people to explore?

"And Jie-kun seems to have a certain...longing for pain?"

As she spoke, she began to count with her slender knuckles: "Wearing earrings that look like earlobes, smoking a lot, and actively swallowing a lot of disgusting curse jade."

"Perhaps it can't be called admiration, but... a habit?"

If the person being analyzed was himself, Xia Youjie would simply want to applaud the other person's insight.

But he did not feel offended. Instead, he felt a surge of joy from the bottom of his heart.

She wasn't lying, and it wasn't a joke.

She has always been paying attention to herself, from her hometown background and food preferences to her personality traits and code of conduct.

If she wasn't really interested in him, how could she devote so much attention to such a lazy person?

"Liang-san has analyzed me so thoroughly, but in my eyes you are still like a fog."

He was not prepared to "sit and wait for death", but chose to take the initiative, "Perhaps Liang Sang has recalled his past memories?"

Huailiang pursed his lips: "That means Jiejun doesn't pay enough attention to me."

"Look at me more."

That's the thing again.

Xia Youjie couldn't help but think of the dinner in the high school dormitory at the beginning of the month, so he asked her privately if she had ever met anyone who made her feel cute.

So now, she is making a veiled confession?

Or, is it just literal?
