I won't be a loser.

Xianren, who was eating, also understood what Sanye meant, but he just ate quietly. Sanye looked at Xianren who had no reaction, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and kicked Xianren on the table.

The wise man, who had anticipated this, simply clamped her legs tightly with his own!

listen to me thank you

Thanks to Huangpao Buzuo, Great Kalia, Incarnation of Darkness in Light, and Xiaoji Ni Haodou for the monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

When the summer cicadas chirp: 225. Bring out the love in her heart!

“Mmm-hmm!”

Sanye tried hard to pull her legs out from between Xianren's legs but failed. She couldn't help but look at Xianren angrily.

At the dining table, Xianren was eating quietly, but he didn't care so much about Sanye's "ferocious" eyes. He ate his dinner calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Yotsuba, who was sitting next to Sanye, stared at her sister for a while, then looked at the calm Xianren, and pretended nothing had happened. She quietly put the last bit of rice in her bowl into her mouth and put down her chopsticks.

"Yotsuba, is this enough?"

"That's enough. I'm not your sister."

After occasionally teasing her sister, Siye got up from her chair, walked into the living room, turned on the TV with the remote control, and sat alone on the sofa, watching TV quietly.

"I-uh!"

Just when Mitsuha was about to open her mouth to refute Yotsuha, and her face was about to turn red when she looked at Xianren sitting opposite her, Xianren smiled at her and loosened his legs. Mitsuha, who had almost given up, was stunned for a moment, looking at Xianren who lowered his head and continued to eat, and did not chase after him.

"Hmm—hum."

After that, Mitsuha didn't do anything until the end of dinner. After dinner, Kento and Mitsuha were responsible for cleaning up, letting Saionji Sekai and Kiyoura Setsuna go to rest together. There was no conflict between the brother and sister when they were responsible for cleaning the table.

"You wash it."

"Then bring all the cutlery on the table over here first, and remember to wipe the table."

"know."

Mitsuye cleared the tableware on the table and brought them to the sink in front of Xianren. He soaked the dishes in it. After a while, Xianren began to wash them.

After clearing away all the dishes on the table, Sanye slowly began to wipe the table.

"Yoshiha, has the relationship between Mitsuha and Kento always been like this?"

Sekai Saionji, who was sitting on the sofa, watched the interaction between the brother and sister, and couldn't help but ask the youngest sister Yotsuba. The topic was a little interesting, and Yotsuba couldn't help but look in the direction of Mitsuha and Kento.

"It was a little better before, but after Xianren went to Tokyo, I often lose my temper with Xianren. But it's not that I hate Xianren."

"Is it because Kento went to Tokyo that Mitsuha is unhappy with Kento?"

Yotsuba, who often watches TV dramas, has some superficial understanding of so-called feelings. After hearing what Sekai Saionji said, she shook her head decisively.

"You're probably just angry because you can't be with Xianren-hyung."

"......"

Saionji Sekai seemed to understand something and was speechless for a moment. He looked at the people standing with Kento, and suddenly they cooperated with each other, one washing the dishes while the other took over and put the dishes into the cupboard.

Such tacit cooperation is indeed not something that can be achieved by two people who hate each other.

Kiyoura Setsuna, who had already had this guess and premonition, sat aside and listened quietly to Yotsuba's answer without much reaction.

After everything was tidied up, the five of them watched TV in the living room for a while, then split into three groups and took turns going to the bathroom to take a shower: Sanye and Yotsuba, Setsuna and Sekai, and then Xianren.

She came out of the bathroom and returned to the living room in her pajamas. Looking at the four people who were still watching the show, she sat down next to Setsuna, with Mitsuha on the other side. The girl saw Xianren sitting next to her, and her eyes lingered on Xianren's face for a moment.

"Anything on your face?"

"My hair isn't even dry."

"Blow-drying doesn't seem to be very good for hair, so this will do. I'm not planning on sleeping anytime soon, so I'll just sit for a while and it'll be dry."

It’s not like winter, when if you don’t blow-dry your hair, it will be too cold and uncomfortable. In summer, your hair will be almost dry after just a while.

"But the water is dripping from my hair."

Sanye stood up and watched the other party leave the living room. After a while, she returned to the living room with a towel in her hand. She directly covered Xianren's hair and began to wipe his hair.

"Didn't you say you wanted to grow your hair long?"

"You're still in school, how can you let your hair grow long?"

Xianren, whose hair was being wiped by Sanye's rough method, couldn't help but stretch out his hand. When he wanted to wipe it himself, Sanye directly slapped it away, but the action was a little gentler.

"A little lighter. I don't want to wear a wig so early."

"It's already very light."

The moment she sat next to Xianren, she watched the interaction between the brother and sister, and for some reason she felt a little subtle. Thinking that she had never wiped Xianren's hair before, she also felt a little interested in it.

However, there is obviously no chance now, and I can only wait until I return to Tokyo and see if I can wipe Xianren's hair.

When the world saw that the gaze was always on Xianren and Mitsuha, it became a little bit concerned.

"By the way, Yotsuba."

Xianren looked at Yotsuba who was sitting nearby, hugging her knees and watching the show.

"what happened?"

"When I return to Tokyo in a while, do you want to come with me?"

"Tokyo? With mom?"

"No, it's just you and Mitsuha. You'll be staying at my place for the time being."

"Your apartment is too small. That bed, after so long, have you bought a new one?"

Hearing the topic of Tokyo suddenly brought up, Mitsuha suddenly recalled her life in Tokyo. She stopped wiping her hair and looked at her brother.

"No."

"what?"

"It's not that small, so there's no problem for the two of you to rest together."

"Again."

"Isn't Mom going?"

Siye listened to the conversation between the two and learned that her mother would not go. She was a little uncomfortable without her mother's company.

"This time, it's just you and Sanye. Mom is at home taking care of grandma."

"How long?"

"About a week or so. I'll take you back then."

Hearing that she would be going to Tokyo for about a week, Yotsuba was suddenly in a dilemma. She had always lived in Itomori, and the farthest place she had been to was Nagoya.

Suddenly, she was going to the capital, the most prosperous city in the entire country, the city that Sanye had always been looking forward to. However, she unexpectedly did not feel much anticipation and joy, but instead felt a strong sense of uneasiness and hesitation.

"I have no idea."

Yotsuba didn't know whether she should go to Tokyo. She was a little curious, but more worried and uneasy. Children are always wary of strangers. It has always been like this at home, telling her to be vigilant about everything unfamiliar.

Unlike Sanye, Siye does not have any longing for the outside world. She prefers to stay in the environment she is familiar with.

Seeing Yotsuba fall silent, Xianren did not try to change her attitude forcefully. He glanced at Mitsuha who looked concerned, and then looked at Yotsuba who was hugging her knees and lowering her head.

"There's also a person named Yotsuba in Tokyo, and she's my classmate. Don't you want to meet her?"

"Four leaves?"

"Ah."

"Same name?"

"Ah."

Yotsuba suddenly became interested, her eyes blooming with curiosity as she looked at the wise man in front of her, and became curious about the 'Tokyo Yotsuba' that the wise man mentioned.

"Then... is it okay? Mom and grandma are at home."

"It'll be a week, and I'll be back soon."

“Hmm… Yeah.”

Driven by curiosity, Yotsuba accepted Kento's invitation. Mitsuha's expression on the face beside her was also a little relieved, but she always felt something was strange about following Kento to Tokyo alone, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Anyway, she was a little hesitant about going to Tokyo alone with Xianren, but she felt relieved when she had her sister by her side.

The five of them sat in the living room until late at night. Due to her age, Siye couldn't stay up late for long. After a while, she felt sleepy and went back to her room around nine o'clock. Sanye couldn't hold on any longer around eleven o'clock in the evening.

The three people who had rested in the afternoon were not sleepy at all. They were squatting in front of the TV, watching TV. There was no one to disturb them. It was okay for them to be a little intimate.

Lying on Setsuna's legs, watching the world leaning against them, the three of them maintained a posture that was obviously not right. While watching TV, they suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps.

The world that was still leaning against Xianren was startled and quickly sat up straight!

despair--

despair--

despair--

......

Erye, who came down the stairs, saw the three people still in front of the TV in the early morning. He noticed Xianren lying down and Shijie sitting upright. His eyes couldn't help but linger on Shijie for a moment, and then looked at Xianren who seemed to have no reaction.

The strong sense of incongruity made Erye not know how to describe his mood. He shook his head slightly, poured a glass of water, and told Xianren to rest early before leaving the living room.

"Huh—just now, you didn't notice me, did you?"

After Erye left for a while, Shijie secretly lowered his head, looked at the lying Xianren, and asked about his reaction just now.

"It was too abrupt. I should have noticed it, but I didn't really care."

Looking at the world in front of him, the wise man also felt a little subtle.

He had originally thought that his mother would have a brief chat with him and ask him to pay attention to something, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so indifferent. She didn't say anything to him.

"Is it okay?"

The world, feeling somewhat complicated and uneasy, asked the wise man.

"It probably doesn't matter. It's almost time. I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to rest first."

"Then, I will also—"

"I'll come too."

The wise man stood up. It was pointless to stay alone in the living room, so the three of them left the living room together and returned to the room...

On the fourth day after Kento returned home, Sayaka finally saw Kento whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Brother Xianren."

"It's been a long time since we last met, Sayaka. You've changed a lot since I left Itomori. You're more youthful and energetic now."

While staying at home, he suddenly saw Sayaka who came to look for Mitsuha. Kento greeted the girl with a smile. The other party was Mitsuha's good friend and also an acquaintance of Kento. When he was in Itomori, the girl often came to his house after school.

It's not that he can't understand the girl's thoughts, but because of her relationship with Mitsuha, and because Xianren has no such thoughts, he didn't show any attitude other than friendliness towards the girl, and he also deliberately kept his distance.

After leaving Itomori, he lost all contact with the girl. Later, he heard that she also came to Tokyo. Mitsuha did meet the later Hayakawa, but as for Kento, he lived a life of day and night reversal and never met the girl again.

"Eh? Is there?"

Sayaka looked at him, a little flustered, her face flushed with a hint of happiness.

"Ah, Sayaka, what's wrong?"

"Am I more mature than before?"

"Have it?"

Mitsuha looked at her good friend in front of her. She didn't feel anything for him as they were together day and night. She looked at Kento and then at Sayaka who was beside her.

"No, it's still the same as before."

"Eh?"

The expression on Sayaka's face suddenly fell, but thinking that she hadn't changed much, Xianren still praised her -

"Hyunjin, deep down, you still care about me, right?"
