C27—- Probably Fate

Posted on April 6, 2022by UntamedS

 “Are you saying I’m not sincere in wanting to team up with you? If I wasn’t sincere, how would I have found you?” Allen looked at He Yishu with annoyance and anger, the expression on his face was close to twisted, “He Yishu, I really want to team up with you for this Mecha competition and get first place together, you can choose to reject me, but you shouldn’t use such an excuse! If I didn’t really want to team up with you, I wouldn’t have appeared in front of you at all! With my mental energy level and mecha manipulation ability, it’s not difficult to find a rune card master of comparable level.”

    Looking at Allen’s appearance, He Yishu’s expression didn’t change much, instead he asked calmly, “Since you don’t know much about my card making ability, the truth is as you said, with your strength, it’s really not a difficult task to find a rune card master of comparable level, then why did you find me? Is it because of sympathy, or is there some other reason?”

    This was another question that caught Allen off guard, and at the same time he surprisingly felt that the question seemed to make some sense.

    After all, they had never met before, and he really didn’t know anything about He Yishu’s card-making ability, so it was obviously impossible that he was looking at the other’s strength in this area, so other than that, what other reason could he have found this person for?

    “I ……” Although sympathy wasn’t a good reason, it wasn’t bad, he couldn’t think of a more suitable reason right now, he was about to use it, but He Yishu waved his hand, interrupting his prepared speech.

    “If it’s just because of sympathy, then it’s not necessary, because I don’t need your sympathy,” He Yishu knew very well that this person didn’t come to him because of sympathy, but before determining the other’s purpose, he couldn’t let down his guard, “This is my attitude, you can think that I don’t know how to be kind, but sympathy can’t be forced on someone, in the premise that, I can’t accept this sympathy, I hope this matter can be put to rest.”

    Allen was so angry that he wanted to kick He Yishu, but once again he held back his anger: “He Yishu, do you even know what kind of opportunity you’re rejecting? If you team up with me, we can definitely win this Mecha competition, and I can do without the material rewards of the competition, isn’t that enough to express my sincerity?”

    “So you think I deserve sympathy and I must accept your sympathy? There is really no such reason in this world.” He Yishu shrugged helplessly, “And the reason why I’m rejecting you is really for your sake, even if you haven’t carefully understood my level of card making, but you should know how low my mental energy level is, right? Teaming up with me has too many disadvantages, it’s not a good choice at all. If according to your logic, all sympathy should be accepted, then shouldn’t you also accept my good intentions?”

    Since you feel that your own kindness and sympathy should be accepted, then by the same logic, the kindness from others should be accepted by you as well, right?

    In this way, if Allen couldn’t accept He Yishu’s rejection because of his kindness, then his attitude was simply contradictory, and at the same time, He Yishu didn’t need to accept his kindness and sympathy.

    The reason why He Yishu used this move “to attack his own shield with his own spear” was to not let his words and actions leave any room for maneuver.

    After all, he had now seen that this person had an ulterior motive, but now he knew too little about this person, he couldn’t determine the other’s true purpose, and therefore he couldn’t speak bluntly because of a speculation, otherwise it was likely to bring adverse effects.

    In this case, He Yishu could only use the other’s logic to attack him first, so that he could make a clear refusal and not bear any unnecessary responsibility.

    But He Yishu wasn’t a soft person that was easily manipulated, after dealing with Allen, he would naturally find a way to find the real purpose of this person, if he found out that Allen really had an unseemly purpose, He Yishu obviously wouldn’t take it lightly.

    Allen seemed infuriated, his face was red, not to mention that even the expression on his face was almost distorted: “He Yishu, you will definitely regret your choice today!”

    He Yishu smiled gently: “If thinking this way can make you feel better, I can forgive this time and not report you for your slanderous behavior.”

    “Very well, you have lost your only chance!” Allen furiously stared at He Yishu for a while, but finally he still took into account the threat implied by He Yishu’s gentle words, and didn’t say any more unpleasant words, he angrily got up and left.

    As soon as Allen left, He Yishu immediately contacted Adrian, also an excellent second-year Mecha student, He Yishu inevitably considered the matter in this direction.

    As expected, after hearing He Yishu’s description, Adrian quickly gave an answer: “Allen is the eldest grandson of the Frank family, and the Frank family and my family have never been very close, and Allen has always liked to fight with me in the Academy, the fact that he found you is probably related.”

    “I could see that he must have had an ulterior motive in seeking me out, but since I had never met him, it wasn’t easy to guess,” He Yishu laughed lightly, “If you’re the reason, it’s easy to deduce, I guess the reason he offered to team up with me is to humiliate you, right?”

    “Probably so,” Although this matter had something to do with Adrian, Adrian didn’t apologize because of what He Yishu told him before. “However, he obviously didn’t make sufficient preparations in this matter so he was easily seen through, he failed.”

    He Yishu smiled and shrugged: “Yes, but wasn’t he a bit overconfident? Even if I didn’t see through his evil intentions, I wouldn’t have chosen him, after all, he’s not even close to your strength.”

    Adrian and Allen had spent some time together, so he easily guessed his thoughts: “He thought I wouldn’t form a partnership with you for the competition.”

    “That makes sense, after all, in their opinion, my qualifications are really low,” He Yishu suddenly smiled and seemingly unintentionally asked, “in fact, when we first met, you took the initiative to send me to the hotel, I felt very surprised, because the first time we met, you seemed unapproachable, so why did you offer to help at that time?”

    Adrian was silent for a moment before giving an ambiguous answer, “Probably because at first sight, I felt that you were in need of help, right?”

    “So it was the way I was wandering on the roadside?” The laughter in He Yishu’s voice became thicker.

“Probably.” Adrian responded vaguely, but didn’t tell He Yishu that the first time he saw him wasn’t on the roadside, but when he had just left the examination hall.

    “It seems that I was really quite pitiful at that time, fortunately everything has gotten better.” Thinking back to that time again, He Yishu knew he was in a happier place in life now, having gotten rid of his extremely ‘good’ family, and having a stable and very good income, and having a friend who had helped him so much, life was simply close to being complete!

    But there was one question that He Yishu still wanted to ask: “What about the part-time job? I remember when we first met, I didn’t even tell you my name, so when you invited me for a part-time job, how did you think of inviting me? And if my guess is correct, you only invited me for that part-time job, right?”

    This question was even harder for Adrian to answer, the reason why he invited He Yishu was because he inadvertently overheard the conversation between him and his half-brother.

    Adrian could only sigh lightly, “It’s probably fate.”

    However He Yishu knew very well in his heart that this wasn’t the real reason, but it didn’t matter why the other chose to give him the part-time job, it was extremely helpful to him at that time.

    However, he didn’t pursue the root of the matter, since the other didn’t want to say, there was probably a good reason, so He Yishu also just smiled and echoed, “Fate is wonderful.”

    After talking about these sensational past events, the two of them started to talk about business again.

    “After what happened before, you know about the Mecha competition, right? Do you have any interest in this competition?” Adrian asked implicitly.

    He Yishu immediately recalled the conversation between Adrian and his father that he had overheard once before, what they talked about was the Mecha Competition, right?

    So even though Adrian seemed very calm, He Yishu instantly guessed his intention: “Well, there is indeed some interest.”

    Hearing He Yishu say this, Adrian silently sighed in relief and continued, “For some reasons, I have plans to participate in this year’s Mecha competition, but I haven’t found a suitable partner before, if possible, would you like to be my partner?”
