I won't be a loser.

"Every time I see you, you are wearing white silk."

"Wouldn't the wise man like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I just think it's nice to look at black stockings occasionally. The key is that no matter what you wear, Xiaochun, you look very suitable and cute."

After hearing this, the girl showed a happy expression on her face. She raised her head and looked up at the wise man who was holding her.

"Then I'll go buy some new socks after school today. You can come here tomorrow during your break and I can wear them for you to see."

"Tomorrow? It seems like nothing's going on. I'll come over tomorrow afternoon and take a look."

He made an appointment with Feng Xiaochun to meet at the Astronomy Club tomorrow afternoon. After staying there for a while, when the lunch break was over, Xianren left and returned to his classroom.

When walking from the building where the club activities were held all the way to the building where the classrooms were located, he unexpectedly saw a pair of familiar thighs on the stairs. The tight black stockings that revealed the flesh made Xianren's eyes gradually glance up. When his eyes reached the hem of the skirt, Xianren couldn't help but looked up, but he only saw a dark area.

"Is it a pity that I couldn't see it?"

The voice sounded familiar. He continued to look up, seeing that familiar face and the contemptuous gaze of Kasumigaoka Utaha, but Xianren's expression seemed extremely calm.

Kevin, sat in front of the computer for four hours,

Thanks to this nickname is taken again, Bridge Passenger, Saumarez, and Wangxing Agent 76 for their monthly tickets! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

Cherry Blossom Season: 185. Can I stay overnight at your house?

"I was just walking down the street and saw someone blocking my way, so I was curious to see who it was. But my senior was walking down the stairs and suddenly stopped. Isn't that dangerous?"

The wise man standing on the stairs did not feel any shame because of what Kasumigaoka Utaha said. He looked back and saw other people. He made way for them slightly. Kasumigaoka Utaha was also choked.

As she watched other people passing by her, their strange gazes fell on her and the boy in front of her, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips.

"If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave for now, Senior."

Knowing that his gaze just now was quite rude, Xianren took advantage of the fact that the girl in front of him hadn't reacted yet and walked past her with a natural look on his face. He continued walking forward, leaving behind Kasumigaoka Utaha with a frown. She watched Xianren's figure disappear down the stairs and pursed her lips slightly...

After finishing the afternoon classes, when school was over, Xianren stood up and looked at Umetaro Nozaki who was sitting at the table behind him.

"All right?"

"Well, I'm almost done packing. This evening might last a long time, so I might not be home until very late."

"Your apartment is pretty big, right? If it's late at night, I can just rest at your place."

Nozaki Umetaro looked at the wise man in front of him, his gaze lingering on him for a moment, scanning him up and down, and his eyes rested steadily on the wise man's face. After a brief silence, he nodded slightly.

"Okay."

"The look you gave me just now felt a bit disrespectful and made me feel a little uneasy."

"Have it?"

In response, Kento just smiled. After Nozaki Umetaro packed his schoolbag, he and Kento left the classroom together. Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji picked up their schoolbags and left the classroom as soon as the school bell rang.

There were not many people left in the classroom. Seeing Kento and Umetaro Nozaki walking together, some people were a little surprised. After the two left the classroom, they couldn't help but start muttering.

After such a long time since the start of the school, most people are no longer as unfamiliar with Nozaki Umetaro as they were at first. At first, everyone thought he was a person with a cold personality. However, after something happened one day, they basically understood Nozaki Umetaro's dull personality, which made some girls who had a good impression of him feel a little disillusioned for a while.

"Were you a member of the basketball club?"

"When I was in middle school, I joined the basketball club because of my height. But now, because of comics, I don't have any extra time to waste on club activities. Why don't you join the club, Miyamizu?"

I originally heard other people talking in the classroom and learned that Umetaro Nozaki was once a member of the basketball club. I felt a little bored and tedious while walking on the street, so I asked him about it. However, I didn't expect that he would ask me the reason why I didn't join the club.

"If I join a club, I can meet more people and become more popular with girls, right? Like a sports club?"

"I hate activities that make me sweat. The smell of sweat isn't my ideal youth. Besides, even if I don't join the club, I'm not very popular, am I?"

Although such an answer might be a bit annoying to some people, Umetaro Nozaki was not in that category. Umetaro Nozaki, who had been sitting at the table behind him, was relatively familiar with what Kento had experienced, and naturally he was also well aware of Kento's popularity.

At the same time, he was also quite curious and concerned about Kento's feelings. Seeing those girls glancing at him from time to time, Umetaro Nozaki, who sometimes really couldn't think of what to draw, couldn't help but feel a little curious about Kento's love story.

After leaving the school gate, I walked all the way to the apartment where Umetaro Nozaki lived. When I entered the house, it was still the same as before. It was quiet and tidy, and you couldn't tell that this was the home of a high school boy.

“Is your editor a man?”

"Well, he's a pretty easy-going person. He used to be a pretty bad guy, but now he's a responsible and good editor."

After entering the house and temporarily putting down his schoolbag, Umetaro Nozaki poured a glass of water for Kento, then walked into the house, took out his comic manuscript, and handed the part that needed Kento's help to him, and the rest was the content he needed to draw.

"By the way, I haven't had time to contact anyone yet. Should I go to the balcony to make a phone call?"

"You're welcome. I'll get to work."

Umetaro Nozaki didn't pay much attention to Kento's affairs. He lowered his head silently and started working seriously. Kento stood up from the small low table in the living room, walked slowly to the balcony, opened the window casually, and then stood on the balcony to close the window.

He fumbled for his cell phone and searched through the contact list.

Because there were not many contacts, Xianren did not set Setsuna's name in the special list. After a quick look, he followed the 50-tone code to find Setsuna's number and dialed his girlfriend's number.

"Setsuna, it's me. I might be home a little late today. You and Wu Na don't have to wait for me to get home."

"Who?"

"He's my classmate. I told you about him last time, right? He needs my help with something. Um, it's about the comics."

"Will you be home late?"

"It will probably be late."

He looked back at the living room and couldn't help but sigh at the pile of manuscripts that needed his help.

"The other party also helped me, so this is a thank you."

"I see."

"Then let's do this for now."

After explaining to Setsuna that he might be home very late that night, Kento returned to the living room, sat down opposite Nozaki Umetaro, and quietly began his assistant work such as helping with blackening and pasting grids.

While having dinner with his friends, he looked across at Sekai Saionji and Hikaru Kuroda.

"Your boyfriend?"

Kuroda Hikaru put down the drink in his hand and looked at Setsuna with eyes full of gossip.

There were only three people sitting in the store. Nanami Kanroji, as she was a special sports student, spent more time in basketball club activities and required high-intensity training every day. As for Kotonoha Katsura, she rarely had dinner with them recently, using her sister as an excuse.

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Setsuna was not planning to explain too much, but he noticed that Saionji Sekai's gaze seemed to fall on him. When he looked up, he saw that she had silently looked away.

"Xianren is with his classmates and may be home a little late tonight."

"classmate?"

"Boy, it seems like there's something important."

Setsuna did not tell Kuroda Hikaru about the specific situation. It was not that he was deliberately concealing it, but he did not mention it proactively because he was worried that it would bring trouble to Xianren.

Saionji Sekai's gaze fell on Setsuna again, and then he glanced at Kuroda Hikaru, who suddenly became curious. He lowered his head again and drank his drink silently...

"It's getting dark, and I'm a little tired."

He sat on the mat until his legs became numb and he felt no sensation at all. Xianren couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand, slowly raised his head, looked at the light above his head, sighed silently, stood up, and stretched his body.

too tired.

For several hours, I just sat quietly at the table, without any communication with Umetaro Nozaki, each doing my own thing. Now I really can't take it anymore.

"........"

Nozaki Umetaro didn't say anything, just painted quietly.

When Xianren went to the bathroom and returned to the living room, he saw Umetaro Nozaki put down the pen in his hand, slowly stood up, walked to the refrigerator, and took a look at the ingredients in the refrigerator.

"Curry, is that okay?"

Looking at Xianren who came out of the toilet, he suddenly asked, which made Xianren speechless for a moment. He looked back at the toilet and then looked at Nozaki Umetaro who was asking seriously.

"Can I have something else?"

“There are no other ingredients.”

"Then... let's do this."

Nozaki Umetaro prepared dinner, while Kento sat down again and continued to black out parts of the manuscript.

"Have you ever considered hiring a long-term, stable assistant? One person doesn't have enough time. Wouldn't it be much better if there was an assistant to help?"

"I've considered it before, but assistants are too expensive and I can't afford it for the time being."

Cartoonists can invite an assistant to help them create comics, but ordinary writers simply cannot afford the expenses of an assistant. Many ordinary cartoonists even have to work as assistants for other cartoonists to subsidize their living expenses because their works have been cut short.

With Umetaro Nozaki's current level, he might be able to hire an assistant, but for him, he felt that the expense was not worth it, so he gave up the idea.

"It's out as a standalone book now, right? One volume?"

"Well, there's only one volume for now."

While Umetaro Nozaki was preparing dinner, Kento was sitting quietly in his living room, casually blackening the parts marked with 'x'. In fact, this job did not require any technical skills, but some parts did require a bit of meticulousness, so he lowered his head and quietly blackened.

When Umetaro Nozaki prepared dinner, Ken put down his pen for the moment and sat down in the house with Umetaro Nozaki to have dinner.

"There's probably still a part of it, and it might last until after 9 o'clock tonight."

"It's okay. We usually don't rest until after 9 o'clock on weekdays. I'll continue working after I finish using it."

"Well, thank you."

In response to Nozaki Umetaro's thanks, the wise man just smiled slightly.

Then--

Although Nozaki Umetaro said that it might last until 9 o'clock, in fact, the two of them did not finish their work until 11 o'clock in the evening. Xianren, who had been keeping his head down, could not help but feel dizzy. Looking at Nozaki Umetaro with dark circles under his eyes, he could not help but take a deep breath.

"It's not just 9 o'clock now, it's already 11 o'clock, close to 12 o'clock."

"Is it that late already?"

Umetaro Nozaki was immersed in his work and did not notice that time passed so quickly. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, he noticed that it was already late at night. He could not help but rubbed his eyes, and the ink in his hand was rubbed on his face.

Xianren subconsciously looked down at his hands, and the wrists of his right and left hands had turned pitch black.

"My hands are dirty, and your face is stained. I'm going back now. You'll have to handle the rest by yourself."

"Well, you're not staying the night?"

"I'm not used to staying overnight at someone else's house. Besides, it's still early. It will take less than half an hour to get home. I'm leaving now."

Picking up his school uniform jacket and the school bag placed beside him, Xianren stood up, looked at Nozaki Umetaro who was still sitting on the ground, said goodbye to him, and walked towards the door.

"I go first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Nozaki Umetaro watched Kento leave, responded, looked at the empty living room, and silently lowered his head to tidy up the comics on the table. Kento, who had left, followed the street lights at night and walked alone on the way home.

It took Xian nearly half an hour to leave Umetaro Nozaki's apartment and return to the door of his own apartment. It was a quiet night, and by the time he returned to his apartment, took a shower, and lay down on the bed, it was already 1 a.m.

"Go to bed early."

After glancing at the time, the sage closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep...

"A wise man?"

"Ah, ha—it's the world. What's wrong?"

After going out, the wise man, who was still sleepy even after washing his face, looked at the girl in front of him, walked up to her, stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed her hair.

"You look very tired. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

He opened his arms and embraced the world in his arms. Feeling the girl's soft body and the faint fragrance on her body, Xian felt that he had recovered a little bit of energy.

Suddenly being hugged by Xianren, Xiyuanji Sekai's cheeks flushed with shyness. She turned her head to look at Xianren's profile leaning on her shoulder, and couldn't help but be fascinated.

"Ah, I stayed up a little late yesterday, but I woke up anyway. After all, I still have to go to school today."

The wise man moved his ears slightly, and when he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and looked towards the stairs. He saw the man walking down the stairs, then looked at Sekai Saionji who was in his arms, and naturally loosened his arms.

"Good morning, Setsuna."
