I won't be a loser.

Closing his eyes and sighing, Xianren turned his head and continued to look at the pedestrians outside the glass window.

"Why don't you consider marrying Xiaochun? Xiaochun's family is very rich, and she's an only child. If you marry Xiaochun, you'll both belong to Xianren in the future."

"It sounds great, but that means I'll have to inherit your family business and work hard every day to handle affairs, right?"

"perhaps."

"My current leisurely life is more suitable for me. I am immersed in work and have to worry about work every day. I have no interest in losing my hair."

After hearing the reason why Xianren refused, Xiaochun was not disappointed at all. When she opened her mouth, she had already expected Xianren to refuse. She was just a little curious about what kind of answer Xianren would use to reject her.

Following the gaze of the wise man, he also cast his eyes towards the glass window, looking at the young people walking in groups on the roadside, and then looking at the wise man beside him. Feng Xiaochun thought of the person he liked, and it seemed that he didn't have any good friends around him.

Almost all of them are women, and the only few men seem to be a little special.

He also noticed the gaze of the girl next to him, but the wise man was a little absent-minded at the moment and did not pay too much attention to it. He just looked at the passers-by and thought about some irrelevant things.

Time passed minute by minute, and the girl just sat quietly beside Xianren. The two of them stayed in the coffee shop quietly for the entire afternoon. It was not until dusk dyed the sky red and the night gradually deepened that Xianren came back to his senses in a trance.

"It's already evening, and the fireworks display is about to begin. Will you be attending?"

"If the wise man goes, I will go."

He turned on his mini camera again. Feng Xiaochun's answer made Xianren speechless and he couldn't help but chuckle.

He stood up and walked towards the outside of the coffee shop.

"Then, when the time comes, see if you can find me in the crowd."

After waving goodbye and paying for their coffee, Xianren joined the crowd of pedestrians on the roadside and disappeared from Feng Xiaochun's sight. The girl quietly watched the direction where Xianren left, slowly stood up, and followed him out...

He returned to his apartment, glanced towards Kiyoura's house, and then silently returned to his apartment. He opened the door and entered the house, but he still didn't see Ogihara Sayu.

"Hasn't anyone come back yet?"

I sat down slowly. I was going to the fireworks display later, so I probably needed to change my clothes.

"Forget it. It's so hot outside. Even at night, it will be crowded. I'll probably sweat a lot. Forget it."

I originally wanted to rent a yukata, but then I thought about it, with so many people around, it would be quite a hassle to borrow yukatas and then return them, so I decided to just wear my own clothes.

Sitting in the room, thinking about the fireworks display, I suddenly heard a noise at the door. I looked over and found that it was Ogiwara Sayu who came home.

"Is the work finished?"

Looking at the shoes at the door, I was a little surprised and wondering whether the wise man had already arrived home when I heard his voice. I looked up and saw the wise man sitting in the living room.

"Ah, um."

"Then let's prepare a little. The fireworks display will start around eight o'clock. There's still some time left. Even if we rush over, it won't take much time."

"This is the first time I've participated in an event like this."

"You're in Hokkaido, right?"

"Ah."

"Don't Hokkaido have fireworks displays?"

Xianren was also a little surprised. He didn't know much about Hokkaido. When he heard the word Hokkaido, the first thing that came to his mind was probably "bear".

"There should be, but it's probably not on the scale of Tokyo. Also, I've always been at home, so... I haven't participated in such an event."

"I've never participated in an event like this before, so there's no need to be nervous. Let's just wait until the time is right and go."

"Ok!"

Looking at Kento's calm expression, Ogiwara Sayu couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation for the fireworks display.

"Let's wait until the fireworks display is over before we think about dinner. Otherwise, if you get upset by then, it will be really troublesome."

"Are you having stomach problems?"

"Just in case, going to the toilet in a crowded place is also very troublesome."

"Ah."

After thinking about it, Ogiwara Sayu admitted that what Kento said made some sense. She had seen reports about fireworks displays before, and could see that the streets were full of people at that time.

With a scale like that, I'm afraid there will be queues for the restrooms, and my anticipation has dissipated quite a bit. It feels like attending a fireworks display is going to be quite a hassle...

Thanks to Chang Shengli and Mu Rongguang for their monthly tickets! Thanks to everyone for their recommendation tickets!

When the Summer Cicadas Chirp: 255. Instead of running away, are you approaching me?

A wise man does not like to go out unless it is necessary. Generally, he rarely goes out. Only when he feels bored at home will he occasionally go out to relax.

If Xianren had not suddenly remembered that he had paid less attention to the girls in his daily life, he probably would not have thought about the fireworks display. He was ready to leave some memories for the girls, but he did not expect that after he spoke, it seemed to arouse the girls' dissatisfaction.

It’s not about the fireworks display, but maybe it’s just that I’ve always been a little resentful of it, and after it has accumulated over time, I finally can’t bear it anymore.

While letting Ogiwara Sayu prepare by herself, Kento stood in his room, slowly walked to the balcony, and looked at the Kiyoura family opposite. He didn't know whether the girl was at home.

The light that occasionally flickered in his eyes represented the Xianren's somewhat conflicted heart at the moment.

He pursed his lips and stared at Qingura's house for a long time. He still restrained the surging emotions in his heart, silently took out his mobile phone, looked at it for a long time, and put it back silently. He turned around and went back into the house, said goodbye to Ogiwara Sayu, and left home.

"Didn't Setsuna go out with you?"

When Qingpu Wu opened the door and saw the wise man in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at the wise man who appeared in front of her, she thought that her daughter had gone out with the wise man.

Xianren, who arrived at the door, received a somewhat unexpected answer after seeing Qingpu Mai.

"Have you left... yet?"

"About two hours ago, he had already left. At that time, I asked him if he was going to meet you, but he didn't answer at that time. That child..."

When Qingpu Mai learned that her daughter went out but the person she met was not Xianren, she became a little nervous and concerned.

He took out his cell phone, opened the contact list, found the name of Saionji Sekai, and dialed the number. Under the gaze of Qingura Mai, he waited quietly for a while, and then answered Saionji Sekai's call.

"Hello, Xianren?"

"Is she with you now?"

"Uh, well, she's with me now. Also, Kotonoha and her sister Kokoro are here too, as well as Kuroda Hikaru and Kanroji Nanami. Several classmates have gathered together."

"I see. Have fun."

After hanging up the phone, Xianren looked at Qingura Mai in front of him.

"She was with her classmates and seemed to be participating in some activities with them."

"and you......."

"Wu, do you want to watch the fireworks together?"

Looking at Qingpu Wu in front of him, Xianren smiled and extended his hand, which made Qingpu Wu look down at the hand in front of her, pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment.

"Watching fireworks is fine, but is it really okay to go out with an elderly aunt like me?"

The outstretched hand fell on Qingpu Mai's smooth cheek. Looking at the insecurity in her eyes, Xianren did not care.

"No, she's still young and cute."

Looking into Xianren's eyes, a faint blush appeared on Qingpu Mai's mature face, which was similar to Qingpu Setsuna. She asked Xianren to wait for a moment, then turned back into the house and closed the door.

Being left outside the house, Kento was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. He looked back at his apartment and saw the figure of a pretty girl walking back and forth in his house under the curtains from the balcony window. Kento leaned on the balcony and quietly watched Ogiwara Sayu in the house when he was not there.

About half an hour later, the sound of a door opening was heard behind me.

Looking back, I saw Qingpu Mai who had dressed up carefully, especially with lipstick and makeup on, looking at the wise man in front of her with some trepidation.

"how?"

"That's cute, is there anything else you want to prepare?"

"Nothing."

"Well, let's go."

He smiled at Kiyoura Mai and went downstairs with her. Asking her to wait for a while on the road, Kento returned to the apartment and called Ogiwara Sayu who was at home, and went out together.

When she saw Ogiwara Sayu, Kiyoura Mai's gaze couldn't help but fall on Kento, and she stared at him carefully for a while. However, after seeing Kiyoura Mai, Ogiwara Sayu felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at him for any longer.

Maybe Qingpu Mai is not very familiar to her, but she knows a lot about Qingpu Mai.

Kiyoura Mai looked at Ogiwara Sayu twice more, but did not ask Kento about anything related to Ogiwara Sayu. The three of them rushed towards the central district and arrived at the venue of the Ujigawa Fireworks in about half an hour.

As soon as they walked out of the platform, the street was full of people. Xianren took the initiative to stretch out his hands, holding Kiyoura Mai and Ogiwara Sayu on the left and right, and rushed towards the river bank where the fireworks display was.

When we arrived at our destination, we found that it was already crowded with people.

“There are so many people.”

Because the fireworks were set off on the river bank, and you couldn't see anything if you got too close, most people chose to stand on the road above the river bank and on the nearby bridges. It was crowded with people on both sides, even on the opposite bank.

Ogiwara Sayu, who was seeing this scene for the first time, was not used to it. Her expression became a little timid, and her body unconsciously moved closer to Kento.

Qingpu Mai had participated in such an event before. Even after many years, the fireworks display was not much different from when she first participated.

"It's still the same as before, with people everywhere."

Xianren once sat in someone else's car, on the wide road, watching the fireworks blooming. Compared to that time, everything has changed. He glanced at Qingpu Mai beside him and gently kissed her neck.

The sudden 'attack' frightened Qing Pu Mai so much that she shrank her neck and turned her head to look at the wise man in front of her, a little surprised.

"A wise man?"

Qingpu Wu, whose left hand was being held, couldn't help but cover her snow-white neck with her right hand, looking at Xianren in surprise.

"It's a bit crowded here, let's go somewhere with fewer people. Let's go."

Holding hands with the two of them, Ogiwara Sayu didn't notice what had just happened. She just heard Kiyoura Mai suddenly calling out Kento's name. When she turned around, Kento was already leading Kiyoura Mai out of the crowd.

Although it was away from the most crowded places, as the largest fireworks display in Tokyo, the number of participants was not just from Chuo Ward and Minato Ward. Many wise men came from Bunkyo Ward, not to mention people from other districts.

Walking on the street, you can see groups of people and those who maintain law and order everywhere.

There was absolutely no one who could quietly enjoy the fireworks. Of the three people walking on the road, Kiyoura Mai looked at Kento from time to time, while Ogiwara Sayu lowered her head and followed the two of them. She would occasionally raise her head and look at Kento, but then quickly lower her head again.

"There are people everywhere around here. It doesn't look like there's any quiet place. Even if there is, it's probably mostly occupied."

Although it was a bit of a dampener, Qing Pu Mai followed Xianren for a while, looked at the streets full of people, and still gave her own observations.

"There are indeed people everywhere. If it were higher up, maybe it would be a little better."

He raised his neck and face, looked at the buildings above his head, thought for a while, but couldn't help shaking his head. After walking for a while, he still couldn't find any suitable place, and the fireworks display was about to begin.

"Let's go somewhere a little more open."

"Ah."

Kiyoura Mai followed Kento, while Ogiwara Sayu didn't show any signs of hesitation and let the two make the decision. She just followed silently.

"The streets are packed with people, and the riverbank is already occupied. Even if you get close, there's nowhere to stand. Ugh, and it's still so hot, and there are so many people. It feels terrible."

Kuroda Hikaru came out with his friends, originally hoping to have a romantic encounter, but before the romantic encounter happened, he was already sweating all over and couldn't walk.

He slowly stopped and looked around. Kuroda Hikaru didn't see any suitable place to watch the fireworks, so he silently followed his friends. Looking at Kuroda Hikaru's lost look, Nanami Kanroji couldn't help but shook her head.

"Because it's the last fireworks display of the summer, everyone with free time in Tokyo must have come here, and there are couples everywhere."

Saionji Sekai's gaze couldn't help but fall on Kiyoura Setsuna. She had clearly received an invitation from the wise man, but she didn't go to attend. As a result, a group of people, all girls, came to this place and watched others in love. Saionji Sekai felt extremely complicated.

“There are too many people.”

"Come to think of it, doesn't Setsuna have a boyfriend? Shouldn't she be with her boyfriend at a time like this? Is it okay for her to come out with us?"

As if he had thought of something, Kuroda Hikaru looked at Kiyoura Setsuna who was walking beside Saionji Sekai and asked about her.

Despite her good intentions, Saionji Sekai's expression became subtle. She looked at the girl beside her cautiously and found that there was no expression or reaction on Kiyoura Setsuna's face.

"He has his own things to deal with and doesn't have time."

"Today?"

Kuroda Hikaru's expression was subtle, and he wanted to say something, but when he looked at the girl in front of him, he opened his mouth and noticed that Saionji Sekai's eyes and expression were a little strange.

He opened his mouth but didn't ask the question he wanted to ask. Instead, he looked at Gui Yanye who was holding his sister's hand.

"I haven't seen Kotonoha much this summer. Did she go on vacation? Where did she go? Hawaii, Guam, or Okinawa?"
