...
Yu Xiaogang was speechless, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Na'er didn't stop. She continued to peel away Yu Xiaogang's disguise layer by layer with her calm voice:
"You think she's crazy?
You're afraid of her?
Your first reaction when something happens is to run away from her?"
"If that's the case, did you... ever truly love her?"
Na'er turned around, looked at everyone present, and said in a clear and firm voice:
"My brother once told me that if a man truly loves a woman, he would never bear to let her suffer the slightest grievance."
It's even less likely that when the storm comes, he would cruelly leave the woman to bear all the hardships that the two of them should face together.
"He only thinks about shouldering everything himself, only thinks about how to protect her from the wind and rain, even if it means sacrificing himself, he would never bear to let the woman he loves be sad and cry alone."
"Even if the situation really reaches a dead end and there is no other choice, he will do everything he can to completely resolve the cause and effect of the matter and give the other party an explanation."
Na'er met Yu Xiaogang's evasive gaze head-on and ruthlessly tore away his last shred of pretense:
"If it had been my brother in that situation back then, he might have chosen to run away too.
After all, he's only human, and he's afraid of dying too.
But he would never have slunk away like you, Yu Xiaogang, without a word, like a rat crossing the street!"
"If my brother knew he had to run away, he would have used every means possible to take all the blame and misdeeds upon himself before he ran away."
He would deliberately make himself look pathetic, even utterly wicked, and he would try every means to make Sister Erlong completely despair of him and give up on him.
It made her feel that Xuan Hao was a complete liar, and that all her sincere feelings had been wasted!
"Only in this way can Sister Erlong start her life again without any psychological burden after he leaves, instead of being tormented by a fruitless relationship like this!"
Na'er's tone suddenly turned cold, filled with undisguised contempt:
"But what about you?
You didn't even leave her with a firm stance, an answer that would make her give up, and you just ran away without a word!"
"You're not even willing to completely sever Erlong's lingering feelings for you! Your choice to run away shows that, subconsciously, you're also unwilling to completely give up on her, the woman who would give everything for you."
But don't you realize the devastating impact your selfish avoidance and your disappearing without fully resolving the issue will have on Sister Erlong?
Na'er took a step closer, her words piercingly incisive:
"You keep saying you're afraid she'll act recklessly, afraid she'll do something reckless. But have you ever thought about what will happen to her after you run away without a word?!"
"Don't you know she'll search the whole world for you?
Don't you know she'll foolishly wait for you her whole life because of your fruitless departure?!"
"Don't you really know?"
Na'er looked at Yu Xiaogang's increasingly pale face and sneered, "No, you know. You know everything!
Then you're deliberately torturing her!"
"You forced her to never forget you with your cowardice and escapism!
You forced her to suffer alone in Tiandou City for decades, enduring gossip and slander!"
"Yu Xiaogang, you're not just a coward, you're not just irresponsible!"
"You are utterly shameless! Utterly despicable!"
Yu Xiaogang was pushed to the edge of a cliff by these almost torture-like words.
He trembled all over, his mouth agape, trying to refute them and forcefully tear a hole in Na'er's impeccable logic:
"You...you're talking nonsense! I was..."
However, Na'er had no intention of giving him any chance to breathe or argue; her cold voice followed him relentlessly, pressing him step by step:
"You are so shameless, so despicable! Even now, with your hypocritical mask completely torn off, you are still trying to justify your actions and rack your brains to find a plausible reason for your escape!"
"What exactly are you trying to prove?!"
"Are you trying to prove that you weren't wrong to desert your post back then?
Or are you trying to declare to everyone that none of this is your fault?!"
Was all of Erlong's more than twenty years of agonizing waiting, a living hell, just wishful thinking on her part, something she brought upon herself?
You, Yu Xiaogang, are completely innocent and bear no responsibility whatsoever?
Yeah? ! "
Yu Xiaogang was completely speechless at this question, his face turning ashen.
"If that's really what you think in your heart…" Na'er sneered, "then it only proves that you're not only a coward, but you don't even love her at all, you've never truly loved her from beginning to end!"
"If you truly loved her, how could you be so heartless?"
At this point, instead of admitting their mistake, they are rubbing salt into her wounds!
You were the one who chose to run away from everything, and she was the one who gritted her teeth and endured all the worldly pressures and pain!
But now, you're still trying to shift all the blame for this pain, the responsibility for our breakup back then, onto her under the pretext of "being afraid she'd do something reckless"?!
Na'er's voice trembled slightly with extreme contempt:
"How dare you do this?!
A person as irresponsible and selfish as you is not only unworthy of being called a man, but you are not even worthy of being called a human being!"
"Exactly! They're not even as good as spirit beasts!"
Xiao Wu, who had been holding back her anger for a long time, could no longer contain herself when she heard this.
She slammed her hand on the table, jumped up, and pointed at Yu Xiaogang's nose, angrily cursing him.
Tang San, whose mind was already in chaos from Na'er's airtight logic, saw even the usually innocent Xiao Wu angrily jump out to accuse him, and his last line of defense began to falter violently.
For the first time, Tang San's eyes revealed an undisguised struggle and confusion as he looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Could it be that... the teacher I've always respected is really such a hypocritical and beastly person at heart?
Upon noticing Tang San's suspicious and disappointed gaze, Yu Xiaogang completely panicked.
He knew that he was completely rotten in the matter of Liu Erlong, and that Na'er's logic had him completely bound by it, leaving no possibility of overturning the verdict.
If he continues to argue on this topic, not only will he be unable to win against this frighteningly quick-witted young girl, but he will also make things worse and make Tang San completely disappointed in him.
In an attempt to salvage the last shred of his pitiful dignity in front of his disciples, Yu Xiaogang forcibly changed the subject, trying to divert all the attention from the audience.
"Stop judging others!"
With red eyes, Yu Xiaogang pointed at Na'er and roared, "You keep talking about how responsible your brother is, but is your good brother Xuanhao really such a good person?!"
He pointed at Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the others sitting opposite him, and sneered, "Look at all these beautiful women around him! Aren't they all naive young girls?"
Who among them wasn't lured into his life by his sweet talk?
Has he really considered your future?
Isn't it all thanks to his sweet talk that he's managed to charm you all, making you willingly play second fiddle to him?!
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire cafeteria suddenly fell into an eerie stillness.
Na'er, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, including Liu Erlong sitting in the main seat, and even the core teachers of Blue Tyrant Academy surrounding them...
Everyone's expression turned extremely strange and off.
Everyone looked at each other, their gazes towards Yu Xiaogang as if they were looking at a madman whose brain had suddenly gone limp.
Xuan Hao? Sweet talk?!
no...
How on earth did this guy manage to forcibly link the words "sweet talk" with that troublemaker Xuan Hao?!
In Tiandou City, who doesn't know what kind of lawless and despicable scoundrel that guy is?
If you anger Xuan Hao, he can stand in front of you with his hands in his pockets and curse for an hour without repeating a single swear word.
But do you expect him to say a few sweet words?
That's a hundred times more difficult than killing him or taking his life!
How dare you describe him as "sweet talk"?
