I won't be a loser.

"Ah."

Saionji Sekai nodded, quickly left the place, and fled towards the office from in front of Saionji Yuko and Kiyoura Mai.

Staring at the girl's back, Qingura Mai, who was sitting at the table, just stared at the back of Saionji Sekai until she disappeared at the end of the corner. Then she slowly withdrew her gaze and met Saionji Yuko's inquiring gaze.

"Your reaction has been strange since a while ago. You've been staring at Shijie. Are you concerned about Shijie's boyfriend?"

"Well, since I haven't heard Setsuna talk about this before, I'm a little curious about the boyfriend she has. I wonder what kind of person he is."

"I don't know now either."

"Where's the name?"

"You didn't tell me the name...

suspicious.

So suspicious.

Qingpu Wu smiled and shook her head slightly. It seemed that she was not wrong. She sighed in her heart that the young people nowadays were too chaotic. She didn't know from which angle to criticize these young people, so she stood up silently.

"I thought of some things and haven't dealt with them yet, so I'll go back first. See you next time, on the weekend."

"Ah."

Watching Kiyoura Mai get up and leave, Saionji Yuko took a sip of coffee and watched her back disappear in the restaurant. The smile on her face gradually disappeared. She stood up silently and walked towards her office.

In the conversation just now, Saionji Yuko also noticed too many coincidences and something amiss. She felt that she should ask her daughter some questions...

"Do you like this dress?"

Shibuya, Harajuku.

Two people who were out on a date were looking at the trendy T-shirts in a store. They looked down at the girl next to them who was holding their arm and asked her what she thought.

“I don’t really like it…”

Looking up at Xianren, she discovered that the styles Xianren liked were all solid-colored clothes. Patterned clothes rarely appeared in his choices. Even if there were, they only occupied a small part of the clothes and were not very conspicuous.

From the time they went out in the morning until now, they have only bought a set of couple clothes, and the rest of the time they were struggling.

Setsuna herself doesn't dislike this type of outfit, but it's okay to wear such a simple style on a daily basis. But as a couple's outfit... isn't it a bit too low-key?

She didn't have any high demands, but when it came to her relationship with the wise man, she wanted to be a little more high-profile so that people would know about her relationship with the wise man.

Looking at his girlfriend, he noticed the twinkle in her eyes and understood her thoughts. However, he himself was not a person who liked to be high-profile. But in order to satisfy his momentary wish, he still looked at those types that he did not usually like.

"Well, look at this one, it feels—"

hum-

buzz-

The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated, causing me to stop just as I had found a piece of clothing that looked okay and was about to ask Setsuna what he thought of it.

"........"

Helplessly, he took out the phone from his pocket and glanced at the person on it.

"Your mother."

After seeing the caller's note, Xianren looked at Setsuna beside him, as if to ask for her opinion.

"Ah."

There was no response, so Xianren and Setsuna left the clothing store first and answered the call from Qingura Mai.

"Are you two still outside?"

"Well, we're still out shopping for clothes. We're going to get you one too. By the way, what's your dress size?"

"......"

Qing Pu Mai, who was about to question Xianren, couldn't help but choke after hearing Xianren's words. She hummed in silence for a moment and quietly told Xianren her size.

"Strange clothes?"

"Huh? No, no, they're normal family clothes."

"...Oh, I have something to ask you. Remember to come back early today."

"whats the matter?"

"You'll know when you come back."

Qingpu Mai hung up the phone. Xianren turned his head to look at Setsuna beside him. The girl shook her head. She heard the conversation clearly, but she couldn't guess what Qingpu Mai wanted to talk to Xianren about.

"Then don't guess anymore. Let's go back and take a look. Buy all the clothes, and then go back. Clothes for three people."

"Ah."

Setsuna had no objection to buying clothes for three people. She only wanted to buy clothes for her and Xianren. She felt that with her mother's personality, she might not say anything, but she would feel lonely in her heart, so... buying another piece of clothing for the three of them to wear together was a good idea.

Trying to update another chapter of this bitch

Thank you everyone for your recommendation votes!

Cherry Blossom Season: 162. She is very similar to me, but she doesn’t care about her brother like I do.

"Xianren, please go back first. I want to talk to Setsuna about this matter."

When Xianren and Setsuna returned home together and met Qingpu Mai, Qingpu Mai chose to ask Xianren to stay away, so that Xianren didn't know what was going on. He looked at Setsuna and found that Setsuna shook his head, indicating that it was okay.

He looked at Qingpu Mai again. The other party's eyes were almost on Setsuna. Xianren didn't know what the two were talking about. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"Well, I'll leave the clothes here first. I'll be leaving now."

"Well, come over later for dinner. I'll chat with Setsuna for a while."

"I see."

With a smile, Kento said goodbye to Kiyoura Mai and Setsuna, and temporarily left the Kiyoura family. As for Setsuna, she looked at her mother. Since she and Kento returned home, she saw her mother's serious expression and was a little confused about what had happened.

"I'm well aware that you and Setsuna are good friends. I've watched you grow up since you were little, but now, you've started sharing not only toys but even boyfriends?"

"...Got it?"

"It's a rare opportunity for me to meet Yuuko, and she excitedly told me about her daughter's boyfriend. But when I asked about Saionji Sekai's boyfriend, she didn't know anything. Plus, I ran into her at Kento's apartment last time, and it felt off. So I asked Kento about your relationship."

Shanna stood there silently, not knowing how to explain this matter to her mother, but choosing to do so might be her momentary interest and her hidden bad taste.

There is an old saying that goes 'It is better to open up than to block'. She herself did not think that Saionji Sekai would be a stable person. Even if her feelings were ignored, she might do something unexpected in the future.

"At the time, I asked Xianren about it, and he didn't shy away from anything, admitting that there was some connection with the Saionji world. I didn't ask for details, I just thought it was a child's prank. But now even Yuko knows about it, so things are not that simple. Do you understand?"

Looking at her silent daughter, Qingpu Mai was helpless and walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Let's sit down and talk."

"......"

Shanna silently came to the single sofa beside her and sat down. Facing her mother's sharp gaze, she didn't know how to answer her for a moment.

"What exactly is going on? Tell me in detail."

“The world loves wise men.”

"anything else?"

Looking at her daughter, Qingpu Mai wanted to see how she would explain.

"It was the world that confessed to Xianren in the beginning, but was rejected by Xianren. However, the world still likes Xianren, so..."

"Sharing your boyfriend with your friends?"

Facing his mother, Qingpu Shanna lowered his head quietly. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and met Qingpu Wu's gaze. That unflinching look made Qingpu Wu feel a little guilty. She thought Shanna would talk about her own affairs.

"Let me make it clear first, you and I are family, so no—"

"The wise man is excellent."

"......"

Qing Pu Mai, who thought that she would use her own example as a rebuttal, was stunned after hearing what Setsuna said. Looking at her daughter's serious expression, she didn't understand what she wanted to say.

Kento is an excellent person. He came to Tokyo to study alone and can take care of his own life, which is still normal. However, in his spare time, he can even write some articles and submit them to magazines and weekly magazines to earn his living expenses, which is a bit surprising. Not to mention the work he is about to publish recently, which already deserves the title of "genius boy".

"I know."

"So, Xianren will definitely be liked by many girls. It's just me. I can't make Xianren focus his attention on me all the time."

Kiyoura Mai, who had been in a relationship but had never been married, actually had no experience in love. When she heard her daughter's answer, she didn't know how to refute it.

"So, you're sharing Kento's feelings with Saionji Sekai? Don't you feel bad about that? If you keep going like this..."

"It will be very uncomfortable, so when you are with a wise man, it will be even more precious."

"......"

The questions and answers were like lines from some morning drama, which gave Qingpu Mai a headache. She didn't understand what her daughter was thinking. Such answers were completely out of touch with reality.

"But now it's not a question of whether it's rare or not. Yuko already knows that her daughter has a boyfriend. If Yuko wants to meet Kento in the future, and Kento and Sekai-sama confirm their relationship in front of Yuko, then who are you, Kento's girlfriend, or Sekai-sama?"

Feeling a little stomachache, Qingpu Mai sighed. She had not cared about this matter before. She just thought it was a matter between children. She and Xiyuanji Sekai would only be together for a while, and Xianren would end such a relationship.

But now that everything has been discovered by Yuuko, it is no longer just a matter between children.

"......"

Shanna's first response was naturally "Of course it's me", but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly fell silent and couldn't be sure.

"Even if you've already met Xianren's family, it doesn't mean that if Xianren gets a new girlfriend one day, his family will reject her. So before you graduate from high school and before you two are sure to get married, nothing is finalized. Do you understand?"

Qingpu Mai is an adult and will not think like a child. She frowned and looked at her daughter. She also didn't want her daughter to regret it one day in the future.

sigh.

Looking at her daughter who had fallen into complete silence, Qing Pu Mai sighed deeply.

"Don't let it end up like me and Yuko, two single-parent families. Think about it carefully. As for Xianren, I will have a good talk with him tonight. Go back and think about it first."

After she finished speaking, Qingpu Wu also stood up, glanced at her daughter, and then stood up and walked towards the door. She now had to go to Xianren to confirm what Xianren's attitude was towards this matter.

He returned to his apartment and stood in front of the window, looking at the Qingpu family across the street and the dim sky above the apartment. Xianren casually pulled up the curtains and sat in the room, looking at the couple's outfits he had bought.

"It won't be of much use to me at school tomorrow. I guess it will only be useful on the weekends when I go out with Setsuna."

He took out the clothes from the paper bag, removed the labels, and threw them into the washing machine. After washing, he hung them in his closet and took them out to wear when he needed them.

"Keep the paper bag. You can use it to store things when you need them."

He looked down at the paper bag in his hand and put it under the wardrobe. He looked back at his living room. He should be having dinner at Qingpu's house in the evening, so dinner needed to be prepared.

He walked to his desk, sat down, took out the manuscript from his drawer, and continued writing...

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang, and the wise man sitting in the house put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

I walked to the door, opened it casually, and saw Qingpu Mai standing at the door.

He invited her into his room and poured a cup of tea for Qingpu Mai. He watched her pick up the cup and take a small sip. Xianren also sat down opposite her.

"Did you finish talking to Setsuna?"

"Well, why, are you curious?"

Qingpu Wu put down the teacup in her hand, looked at the wise man in front of her, and looked at the handsome face of the young man. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the other party was so deceptive. She was careless and was deceived by the other party's appearance.

"Yes, a little."

After hearing what Qingpu Mai said, Xianren did not deny it. He nodded and admitted that he felt a little curious about what Qingpu Mai and Setsuna had just talked about.

Conversations like this, where he needs to avoid them, show that he is somewhat concerned.

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

"A little bit."

Xianren asked casually and got a positive answer from Qingpu Mai. He was also surprised and looked at Qingpu Mai opposite him with a look of surprise.

"I have a friend named Saionji Yuko. You should be familiar with the name Saionji, right?"

"Mother of the World?"
