I won't be a loser.

"Book tickets in advance?"

After looking at it more carefully, I found that I have to book the ticket at least one day in advance, which means that if I book the ticket today, I can sit on the train tomorrow. If I don’t book it in advance, then I won’t be able to sit on the train tomorrow?

"Hmm...it's a little troublesome."

However, it was a rare occasion for him to travel with Feng Xiaochun, so Xianren felt that he was not unable to face such trouble. After thinking about how long it would take for him to reach the ticket booking point if he left now, the girl sitting in his arms had already taken out her mobile phone and made a call.

Before Xianren could react, the call was already connected. He remained silent, watching Feng Xiaochun put the phone to her ear.

"Two tickets for the Tokyo Water Cruise from Odaiba to Asakusa, scheduled for..."

The girl sitting in the sage's arms raised her face.

"Since it's from Odaiba to Asakusa, let's book a ticket for the afternoon. When it's time in Odaiba, we can take the cruise back to Asakusa."

"Tickets for the afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiaochun hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.

"driver?"

"Ah."

"Is it okay?"

"Which one?"

"No, it's nothing."

He originally wanted to ask if the driver's family would know about this matter, but after thinking about it, he realized that so much time had passed and his contact with Feng Xiaochun might have been noticed by the driver a long time ago.

Xianren thought it was unlikely that Xiaochun's family didn't know anything about the situation. They didn't know before, but that phone call alone was enough to attract the driver's attention. If he saw him and Feng Xiaochun boarding the cruise together tomorrow...

He looked down at the girl, who in turn looked up at the wise man with a calm expression.

"Xiaochun, you're so cute."

Feng Xiaochun, who was sitting in the sage's arms, tilted his head slightly, looking at him with calm yet confused eyes, as if he didn't understand what the sage meant.

Cherry Blossom Season: 207. Even men cannot understand each other

The summer vacation lasted for about forty days from the end of July to the end of August. Kento himself did not plan his summer vacation itinerary in detail. He would probably stay in Tokyo for a while, then go to Itomori for a while, and then go back for a week or two.

After staying in Itomori for a while, he would return directly to Tokyo to start preparing for the next semester. By the way, he might also have to pick up Mitsuha and Yotsuha and let them stay in Tokyo together for a while. When the school is about to start, he would send them back.

"If we send them back near the end of summer vacation, they'll have to stay at home for a while. We can probably send them back around August 8th or 20rd. It's better to send them back earlier. They've been in Tokyo for a long time, and they'll have to get used to life in Itomori again."

Considering his sister's personality, if he sent her back to Itomori the day before school started, he didn't know what kind of trouble she would cause at home. He had to be fully prepared to avoid causing her too much disappointment.

"The last time I came to Tokyo, I didn't stay there for long. If I stay in Tokyo for a long time, there will inevitably be some psychological gap."

Xianren returned to his apartment and sat in his room, looking at the clear sky outside the window. He gently turned sideways and looked at the thin summer homework on his desk. It was probably only two or three hours' worth and could be completed with a little time.

"Summer vacation... I have plenty of time."

His eyes were blank and dazed, as if he was recalling something from the past. He was silent for a moment, then opened the homework in front of him.

"I'll try to finish all of this tonight. Also, I need to find some books to read during the summer vacation. If I just waste all my time on unimportant things, I don't know what next semester or next year will be like..."

I am very clear about my current situation in my heart. The next semester and the next academic year will be like this semester. So don't count on Rikkyo University. I should pack my bags and go directly to Hokkaido.

Although the deviation values of Minobusan and Koyasan Universities in Yamanashi and Wakayama prefectures are slightly lower, they are both located in Honshu, so it doesn't take much time for acquaintances to come and see him. If he doesn't want to embarrass himself, he might as well take a plane directly to Ashiya University in Hokkaido, away from where he has acquaintances.

"We need to finalize the private school matter as soon as possible."

Picking up the pen and looking at the homework in front of him, Xianren collected his thoughts and quietly began to do his homework.

The school hours at Sakakino Academy, where Setsuna and Sekai were both studying, were slightly later than Kento's school. This was the reason Kento stayed in Tokyo for a while. He had to wait until Setsuna finished school before he could go back to Itomori with her...

After returning to his apartment in the afternoon, Xianren started to rush on his homework. His speed was not very fast. After working on the questions for a while, Xianren had to take a short break, put some eye drops, and then continue writing.

It was not until the evening when the house was dim that Xian got up and turned on the lights in the room. He looked at the two homework assignments he had completed. The only things left were a composition in Chinese and some foreign language assignments.

A relaxed generation and relaxed education allow children to have a relaxed and free environment in which to grow.

"......"

It sounds very interesting and is the "quality education" advocated by most people, but what the truth is, only those who have experienced it know.

Having experienced a decadent life, Xianren is somewhat interested in the life of wearing a suit and tie and going in and out of the government office, but he also knows that he is not suitable for such a life. After thinking about it, he thinks it is better to be safe and focus on the area he is good at.

Once you enter university and continue your studies, you will have at least ten years to guarantee your freedom.

"......"

After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Setsuna and I had promised that he would marry her when he reached adulthood.

"Graduate from high school. That means I have to save enough money before graduation. Now I don't have much to do, so I can finish a book in two or three months. But in the future, I'm afraid I won't have so much time..."

Moreover, not every book can be so lucky as the current one, to be recommended by a popular host on the show like Matsuko. It can be considered good luck once, but it is obviously unlikely to be like this every time.

"I have about 4 million yen in savings, which is about one-fifth of the cost of a house. Add in the other renovation costs, and I need to save at least 30 million yen..."

family.

Thinking back on his family situation, he knew that his father, as the mayor of Hida, must have received a lot of political donations. He also knew his father's character. He was upright only in front of his children. In fact, he was just an ordinary person.

Just a mere mayor, wanting to be a white lotus in the political arena?

"They should have quite a bit of savings, but it's definitely not that much. A smaller amount is fine, but a larger amount probably wouldn't have the courage to do that, and..."

After thinking about his father's possible income in this area, he finally decided not to ask the other party.

Those memories of the past were still engraved in his heart. Even if they had not happened now, they could not erase the traces left in his heart. He still had a deep grudge against his father, so he could not tell him about such things.

"Nothing happened in my previous life, but I still have to be careful in this life."

After a moment of silence, he tapped his desk lightly with his fingers. He still had to prepare some insurance. 30 million yen didn't seem to be enough. He needed at least 40 million yen in savings, of which 10 million yen had to be donated as insurance.

"I'll do my own research and help those in need. I'll learn some stories from them and then write a book. The proceeds from the book will help more people."

He nodded, kept the matter in mind, and walked towards the door.

After writing homework for such a long time, I was a little tired and too lazy to cook. In addition, I had some things to talk to Setsuna about, so I went out and headed to Qingpu's house.

"Should we be alone with Setsuna, or should we invite Sekai along?"

While walking on the road, Xianren thought about it and felt that it would be better not to take the initiative to speak about this matter. It still depends on what Setsuna herself wants.

When I arrived at Qingpu's house, I didn't see Setsuna. I only saw Qingpu Mai standing at the kitchen counter, busy preparing dinner by herself.

"Where's Setsuna?"

"The first thing you asked when you came in was Setsuna. I was right in front of you, so why didn't you ask about my feelings?"

"How are you feeling?"

"Very bad."

Qing Pu Mai, who was preparing the ingredients, rolled her eyes helplessly after hearing Xianren's words, expressing her dissatisfaction with Xianren, and looked towards her daughter's room.

"She's in the room. She's been hiding in the room since I got home. I don't know what happened. Go and see for yourself."

"Then I'll go take a look first, and help you when I come out later."

"You can do it alone, so you better take care of your little girlfriend."

The longer the time goes, the more casual Qingpu Mai's attitude towards Xianren becomes. She is no longer as reserved as when they first met. Xianren feels that the other person's mentality seems to be getting younger. Compared with Setsuna, Qingpu Mai's personality seems to be more like that of a young person.

He walked to the door of the girl's room, stopped, and stayed at the door for a while. He didn't hear any movement in the room, so he reached out and knocked on the door gently, then entered the girl's room.

I pushed open the door and saw the girl sitting at the desk. I closed the door casually and came to the girl's side. I found that the girl was looking at the textbooks and notes seriously, writing down the answers on the question bank from time to time. It seemed that she was preparing seriously for the final exam.

"The final exam is the day after tomorrow."

"Well, there's not much time left tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After the test is over the day after tomorrow, school will officially start the next day."

Hearing the wise man's voice, Shanshan also glanced sideways, but soon lowered her head again and looked at the questions in front of her. She had to prepare for the test and didn't want her test results to be too ugly.

During the holidays, I have to go to Xianren's house with him. The thought of meeting Xianren's family and talking about my strengths or my grades in school is really annoying. If they are too bad...

Not wanting to embarrass Xianren, nor wanting to disappoint Xianren's family, Setsuna looked at the question in front of her seriously, while Xianren looked at the serious Setsuna, was silent for a moment, smiled, and walked towards the door without continuing to talk to her and affecting her efforts.

Qingpu Mai walked out of the room and closed the door casually. She was still preparing dinner. She looked a little surprised when she saw Xianren coming out of the room just a moment ago.

"You're coming out so soon?"

"She's working hard, I don't want to disturb her, let me help you prepare dinner."

"You've already started school, right? You're home alone during this period. Have you thought about how to spend this time?"

"I'm still writing my new book. I don't have much to do, so I'm just writing at home, reading other people's books, and making a schedule for next semester. I had already considered attending a private school this semester, but kept putting it off. Now that I have royalties, it's time to get ready."

I remembered when we first met, I knew that Kento was dating my daughter. I chatted with Kento at that time and felt that he was a serious person who had a clear plan for his future. It was also for this reason.

"I almost forgot about this. You and Setsuna are going back to your house during the summer vacation. You won't have much time to go to the private school, right?"

"When the summer ends, go sign up."

"Times back then were different from now. The time I spent with Setsuna would become less and less every day. Hmm, should I still let Setsuna go to the private school with you?"

"That's fine too."

Seeing Xianren nod in agreement without any expression of dissatisfaction, Qingpu Mai showed a look of surprise. She thought that Xianren would hate such long-term contact with Setsuna, but she thought too much. However, she still cared about the matter between her daughter and Xianren in her heart.

It was not easy to talk about these topics directly and frankly with Xianren, so she was immersed in her own thoughts. After a while, she started to talk to Xianren about other topics about the neighbors around her.

Because he had to go out the next day, Xianren returned to his apartment from Qingura's house without doing his homework. He returned to his room, took a short rest, took a shower, and lay down on his bed in his pajamas.

"As for that girl Sanye, when we get back, let's prepare an old-fashioned cell phone for her as well."

Xianren didn't know what she would do with the new model, and was worried that it would affect her normal life, so he planned to give her an old-fashioned mobile phone of similar model to his own so that she could contact him. Otherwise, she would have to rely on her mother Erye's mobile phone every time, which would be too troublesome.

There is no need for Siye. I will prepare it for her when she goes to junior high school. She is still a child now and there is nothing she can use it for. She can just share it with Sanye.

"I need to prepare some gifts for Yotsuba. Clothes...clothes are necessary, and maybe some snacks like desserts, hmm..."

He closed his eyes and thought about the gifts to prepare for Sanye and Siye, and suddenly thought of Erye and his grandmother Yiye. As for the only two males in the family besides himself, Xianren didn't know what to give them. He was a little reluctant in his heart, but he couldn't favor one over the other. He had to prepare one for himself when the time came.

Most people don't have a good relationship between father and son. Kento's relationship with his father, Miyamizu Toshiki, has not been very good since childhood. Even though he was born in a famous family, his personality is not gentle. He is only very gentle to Futaba. He always looks serious and solemn to his children, and he is rarely seen smiling.

Perhaps in order to show his father's majesty, even if Xianren occasionally behaved a little improperly, the other party would reprimand him, and Sanye was no exception, she was scolded a lot.

The Yoshimitsu line of the Kiyokawa Genji clan and the Takeda branch line, is the source of his father Mizoguchi's original surname.

The former daimyo of Owari Nakajima County, which is now the Aichi Prefecture, were families that were granted the title of earl in modern times. Now, these former old nobles basically either become scholars or go into business or politics. Before becoming mayor, Miyamizu Toshiki was an expert in folklore.

"You're the one who, for so-called love, abandoned your fiancée, gave up your surname 'Mizoguchi', and married my mother, but you can't understand me?"

The virtuous man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dark room. He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists under the quilt.

He took a deep breath, and his expression gradually returned to calm. He closed his eyes, turned sideways to the wall, and tried his best not to think about what had happened...

Cherry Blossom Season: 208. What would you like to do on a Ferris wheel?

He woke up early in the morning and sat up from his bed. Even though he knew he didn't need to go to school today, his biological clock had already been fixed during this semester. Even if he wanted to continue sleeping, he found it difficult to fall asleep after closing his eyes.

Looking at the time on the clock on the desk, I walked to the balcony in my pajamas and opened the windowsill. The bright and dazzling sunshine was greeted by a bit of early morning breeze, which blew into the room. When it brushed across my face, I breathed in the light mist.

"A wise man?"

I was still closing my eyes and feeling the freshness of the early morning when suddenly someone called my name. Xianren, who was standing in front of the balcony, took two steps forward and saw Saionji Sekai standing on the road downstairs. She was wearing a school uniform and had to go to school today.

The girl raised her head and looked at Xianren, who was standing on the balcony in indigo pajamas with fluffy and slightly curly hair. He seemed to be the wise man who had just woken up. She remembered that he seemed to have finished school. She was surprised to see Xianren and felt inexplicably depressed.

Looking at the fair skin on the girl's neck, Xianren's gaze fell on Saionji Sekai. He stared at her for a while before settling on her face. He had just woken up and felt a little tired. After breathing the morning air, he became a little more awake and refreshed.

"The day after tomorrow, the holiday starts, right?"

"Well, we still have classes today, and a test tomorrow. Even if school starts the day after tomorrow, it seems like you're three days later than Xianren. But by then, it seems like school will start earlier for us."
