I won't be a loser.

"When Setsuna confessed to me, we had only known each other for less than a week."

After hearing what Xianren said, Qingpu Mai's expression couldn't help but stiffen for a moment. She thought of the time when they met, and then thought of the time when Setsuna dated him, and her face showed a subtle expression.

"Okay, I understand. Since things have come to this, I will have a good chat with Setsuna. You..."

Looking at the boy in front of her, Qing Pu Mai thought of a lot of things to say, but when she saw the boy in front of her with an expressionless face, she choked back her words.

Xianren himself was well aware that his current state was not very calm.

However, even though he knew it, he couldn't back down.

Standing up, Xianren walked towards the door. When he didn't see the other party appear in the living room, he felt a little disappointed. Since the other party didn't appear in the living room, it meant that the other party didn't want to see him.

"Or, let's calm down for a while and continue this topic."

When the Summer Cicadas Chirp: 258. Resurrection!

Sayu Ogiwara did not stay in Tokyo for long. For her, Tokyo might be a better place, but at the request of her family and her mother, she returned to Hokkaido with her brother.

Nine out of ten things are not as we wish, and not everything can be accomplished perfectly as we wish. This is something that wise people have long known.

On the day Ogiwara Sayu left, when she left the room and was about to go downstairs to leave with her brother, Kento looked at the girl who did not look happy about going home, was silent for a moment, and then said to her - if you can't stay at home, you can come back.

Facing the girl's surprised expression when she turned around, Xianren waved his hand slightly. After saying goodbye to her, the whole apartment suddenly became quiet.

The relationship with Kiyoura Setsuna was barely back to normal. With Kiyoura Mai's initiative to mediate, the two met. Because of Kiyoura Mai, Kento no longer maintained his attitude and had a chat with Kiyoura Setsuna, which was considered to have put the matter behind him.

At the end of summer vacation, Xianren returned to campus, but he didn't feel anything special.

On the contrary, looking at Yoshii Akihisa, who had a sad face, as if he was thinking seriously about some serious problem, but kept muttering about the things he had not accomplished during the vacation, with a look of regret on his face, Xianren couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"What's wrong, that guy?"

He asked Sakagami Yuji, and the answer he got was not beyond Kento's expectations.

"Last night, I spent all night but couldn't finish the game, so I felt so disappointed. Now that classes have to start again, I suddenly don't have as much free time. If I want to finish the game, I'll have to spend two more days."

After listening to the answer and explanation given by Yuji Sakagami, Kento stared at Yoshii Akihisa, who looked regretful, and was silent for a moment. He also looked away, feeling that if he continued to stare at this guy, he would become a fool.

"The next holiday is in December, and it's still in August. There are still four months until December, which is a bit long."

Yuji Sakagami couldn't help but sigh. Compared to sitting in the classroom and attending classes, he naturally preferred to stay at home and rest.

School has started, but it is still summer. Wearing my school uniform, even though it is very thin, how can it compare to the cool air conditioning at home? Just sitting in my seat, I can't help but become restless, and beads of sweat gradually appear on my forehead.

"It's so hot. Speaking of which, what did you do during the summer vacation? It feels like I haven't seen you much the entire summer."

"I enrolled in a private school and am considering my future."

Yoshii Akihisa, who was sitting in a daze, couldn't help but look at Xianren with a look of shock after hearing the key words.

"Private school... that's really..."

After receiving a somewhat unexpected answer, Sakagami Yuji's gaze towards Xianren also changed, as if Xianren had 'betrayed' their friendship. He stared at Xianren for a long time, then Sakagami Yuji sighed softly, patted Xianren's shoulder, and said nothing more.

It seemed as if he understood his expression, but it made Xianren wonder what was going on for a moment...

Kento, who had spent almost half of the summer vacation in Tsubota, returned to school. He listened to the class content and flipped through the book in front of him with a lack of interest on his face, as if he was not very interested.

Almost all the content has been mastered. Even if there are explanations, they are very simple and do not serve the purpose of reviewing the old and learning the new. So I took out the tutorial book and wrote and drew on it from time to time.

At noon, a man went to the restaurant and ordered a beef bowl. As soon as he sat down at a seat, a figure sat down opposite him.

When the other party sat down, the arc-shaped wave that bounced up and down slightly made Xianren couldn't help but take a few more glances. His gaze gradually moved upwards and he saw Nakano Satsuki who was staring at him closely. The girl put down her plate and stared at him straight.

"......"

After taking a look at Nakano Satsuki in front of him, Xianren lowered his head, quietly picked up the beef bowl and put it into his mouth. The girl felt dissatisfied in her heart when she saw Xianren who just glanced at her and then had no reaction.

"Hmm, cough!"

He clenched his left fist and coughed lightly, trying to attract the attention of the wise man, but found that the person in front of him frowned instead.

"What's your reaction?"

"I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and infect me."

"I don't have a cold!"

"Idiots don't catch colds."

"......"

Big fire.

Nakano Satsuki suddenly felt a fire burning in her heart, but she still controlled her emotions and looked at the boy in front of her.

"I haven't seen you the entire summer. Are you really that busy?"

"I wasn't in Tokyo for a while before the summer vacation, and I was attending a private school for a while afterwards, so I really didn't have much to do. If you're talking about tutoring, I probably can't continue."

"Which private school?"

"Ok?"

"As long as we're in the same private school, it doesn't matter, right? Then, if I have any questions I don't understand, can't I just ask you directly?"

"So, why don't you just ask the private school teacher?"

"Long-winded!"

After glancing at the girl in front of him, Xianren lowered his head and continued to eat. Seeing that Xianren almost ignored her, she was silent for a moment, hummed softly, and also started to eat her own lunch.

"Aomine Academy, if you want to go, go by yourself."

After leaving his name and finishing his lunch, Xianren picked up his plate, put it in the recycling area, and left the restaurant. After hearing his words, Nakano Satsuki remembered the name "Aomine Juku" deeply in her heart.

After leaving the restaurant, Xianren was not in a hurry to return to the classroom. He walked for a while and turned a slight corner before arriving at the door of Futaba Rio's laboratory.

The door was open, and when I arrived at it, I saw the girl in white clothes in the laboratory.

Futaba Rio was dripping with an unknown liquid and was doing some kind of experiment. Xianren came to her side, but not too close, and watched her experiment quietly.

"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Watching the liquid spread out in the test tube and turn into a pink liquid, Futaba Rio put away the experimental props in her hand and slowly looked at Xianren standing in the laboratory.

"Nothing, just came to see how you were doing and whether you had a good meal."

"......"

Futaba Rio was speechless for a moment, looking at the somewhat out-of-tune Xianren in front of her. After staring at him for a while, she took off the gloves in her hands, quietly walked to the seat below, sat down, and took out her own lunch box.

Watching the girl's actions, he came to Futaba Rio's side, sat down, supported his cheek with one hand, and watched the girl open the lunch box.

“It smells delicious.”

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"Ok?"

Faced with the wise man's doubts, she did not explain how she knew it. She quietly picked up her chopsticks and leisurely enjoyed her lunch.

The doubtful Xianren gently wiped the corner of his mouth with his right hand. There was no obvious trace of rice left on his face. He felt relieved. If there were rice grains on the corner of his mouth, he would have walked such a long distance on campus.

She felt inexplicably relieved in her heart, and while eating, Futaba Rio noticed the reaction of the wise man beside her. She was a little puzzled, but she quickly understood what the wise man was thinking.

"When I was taking a break just now, I saw you appear near the restaurant, so I knew you had been there before."

"Hmm? I see. I thought there was some other reason."

"No."

Futaba Rio gave an affirmative and decisive answer, and Xianren couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he looked at the girl in front of him.

"What's going on this week?"

"what do you want to do?"

"There are so many things I want to do, but I may not have much time this afternoon. I have to wait until the weekend at least."

Looking at the boy in front of her, Futaba Rio couldn't help but pursed her lips. She stared at Xianren with her calm eyes for a long time, then lowered her head silently without making any expression.

"It's up to you, but I may not have time on weekends."

"Then next week is fine."

Facing the unfocused Kento, Futaba Rio did not answer. She quietly finished her lunch, packed up her lunch box, and continued her experiment. Kento stared at her for a while, and when the lunch break was almost over, he returned to his classroom.

When I returned to school, nothing special happened. Just like last semester, life was still the same as it should be.

He glanced in the direction of Eriri and found that the girl was not looking at him much. He didn't know what kind of changes the girl's mentality had undergone, but it seemed that there was no big problem at the moment.

After the afternoon classes ended and it was time to go home, Xianren went to the Astronomy Club and met Feng Xiaochun. He held the girl, who knew his preferences and specially wore white silk stockings, in his arms and talked to her about things related to Ogiwara Sayu and Ogiwara Issa.

"The man named Ogiwara Issa was a girl living in the sage's house. She was Ogiwara Sayu's older brother and her father's first child. However, when her mother was pregnant with Ogiwara Sayu, her father took a new lover and divorced Ogiwara Sayu's mother. The woman who had thought she could use Ogiwara Sayu to win back her husband's affections became very cold towards Ogiwara Sayu after she was born."

Feng Xiaochun took out the information from the drawer. It was the information she had collected when she saw Ogihara Issa "following" near Xian's house.

"You used your child as a tool to save your marriage, but after failing, do you have a grudge against your child?"

"It's probably like this. Because of her family, Ogiwara Sayu was bullied and isolated at school. But then she met a girl who had the same experience, a girl named Yuiko. Then the two of them were isolated together. The girl named Yuiko couldn't stand such a life and chose to give up her own life. Ogiwara Sayu was the only one present at the time, so she was subjected to various suspicions. Her mother's suspicion of her was probably the reason why she decided to run away from home."

“Is it possible to get such detailed information?”

Looking at the information Feng Xiaochun handed to him, Xianren took a closer look and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Because the news was so big, we asked someone to investigate under the guise of a reporter, and we quickly got a lot of useful information."

"Does your family have any business dealings with Ogihara Foods?"

"No."

Her family was not involved in the food industry, so she had no relationship with the Ogiwara family. If it weren't for Ogiwara Issa squatting near Xian's house and affecting Feng Xiaochun's mood, she wouldn't want to pay attention to him.

"Where's Ogiwara Issa?"

"He is Sayu Ogiwara's older brother, but the two have been separated since childhood. As the older brother, Isa Ogiwara understands the situation of his mother and sister, so he has always taken good care of his sister, but basically only provides material support."

"It seems that going back is not an optimistic thing."

"Ah."

Feng Xiaochun didn't care much about the girl named Ogiwara Sayu, but since Xianren said so, she naturally responded and agreed with Xianren's opinion.

"Is there anything the wise man wants to do for her?"

"Is it possible to buy a plane ticket, fly to Hokkaido right now, show up in front of her, and tell her, 'Don't worry, I'm here for you'?"

“It feels like it’s going to be romantic.”

"She and I don't actually have any relationship, so it would be a bit too self-indulgent to do that."

He hugged Feng Xiaochun tightly in his arms, lowered his head and gently rubbed her hairline, breathing in the fragrance of her hair, and closed his eyes.

"Just let everything take its course."

Feng Xiaochun didn't answer, but just sat quietly in the sage's arms, with an expression on his face as if he was thinking about something...

"Life in Tokyo might be harder than here in Hokkaido. Have you made your decision?"

Ogiwara Issa looked at his sister, was silent for a moment, and slowly opened his mouth to confirm again.

"Ah."

The girl's eyes were dim. She returned home and met the woman called "mother" again. She slapped her in the face because she blamed her for leaving, and put the blame on her for everything.

Can a home without warmth still be called a home?

Ogiwara Issa opened his mouth and looked at his sister in front of him, wanting to say something, but he couldn't help pursing his lips and sighed in his heart.

"I understand. Then let me take care of things. I'll take you to Tokyo first. The place you live will be near the home of the man named Miyamizu. Is that okay?"

"Ah."
