I won't be a loser.

Nakano Satsuki opened her mouth and looked at the fried dumplings in front of her, and the confusion in her heart gradually subsided.

As we all know, people have three kinds of desires.

Having already satisfied his sleepiness in the morning, he now only wanted to quietly satisfy his appetite.

Nakano Satsuki also lowered her head and quietly started to eat her own food. The two of them hardly communicated with each other and just had their lunch quietly until Xianren finished his meal first, then he picked up his plate and stood up.

"I'm fine now. I'm leaving now."

Without waiting for Nakano Satsuki to speak, Xianren turned and left, leaving Nakano Satsuki looking at Xianren's back and falling into silence for a long time.

I feel a little disappointed, disappointed in myself.

She didn't know what she was talking about with Xianren, nor did she know if they had any common topics. She just sat there for such a long time. While eating, her eyes were basically only on the food in front of her.

failure.

The other four people who were sitting not far in front looked at Nakano Satsuki who was alone. Nakano Miku stood up, picked up her food, and sat opposite her.

Noticing Nakano Miku sitting in front of her, Mayu showed a surprised expression on her face, but she was silent for a moment and couldn't say anything. Just like when she was with Kento just now, the two of them had lunch quietly...

The classroom was not in a hurry to go back, but came to Futaba Rio's laboratory. When they entered the room, they saw Futaba Rio sitting at the table, holding a beaker and making coffee.

"Is coffee the daytime thing?"

"Went to the restaurant?"

"I slept a little late last night and didn't prepare a lunchbox this morning, so I went to the restaurant. Are you lonely?"

Futaba Rio turned down the flame of the alcohol lamp a little bit, and ignored Xianren who was gradually walking over to the side. She looked at the coffee that was almost brewed, used her own special mug, poured some, and smelled it.

He came to Rio Futaba's side, looked at the coffee she made, moved a little closer, and smelled the aroma of the coffee.

It smelled really good, but considering that he fell asleep for the entire afternoon after drinking Futaba Rio's drink last time, he decided not to taste the coffee for the time being.

He himself doesn't like coffee very much. Compared to coffee, he prefers green tea.

"Drink?"

"no need."

Looking at Xianren who refused her coffee, Futaba Rio didn't care. She took a small sip. It was a little hot, so she put the mug back on the table. Then she sat there quietly and glanced at Xianren.

Noticing that Xianren was also looking at her, she followed his gaze and looked at her legs. After a moment of silence, she raised her head again and looked at Xianren. She found that he still did not restrain himself at all. His straightforward look and gaze made Futaba Rio feel helpless.

"Do you really like looking at girls' legs?"

"It's not that I like looking at girls' legs, but I like looking at legs I like. Have you ever considered trying pantyhose?"

"Although I appreciate your straightforwardness, it still makes me feel a little disgusted."

Futaba Rio gave her answer expressionlessly. Liking Kento is one thing, but whether one can accept his special quirks is another matter.

If you like someone, you will accept everything about that person. Maybe some people can do this, but Futaba Rio doesn't want to force herself in this regard.

"Don't you like it?"

"It's uncomfortable to wear, so, I hate it."

"Bai Si?"

Too lazy to answer Kento, Futaba Rio picked up the slightly cooled coffee and took a small sip.

Obviously, she didn't reject him when they were at home, but now she suddenly showed dislike for him. Kento could only attribute this to the fact that they were both at school at the moment, and didn't continue to talk about these topics.

When they talked about more healthy topics, Kento found that he didn't know much about what was going on in school, and he couldn't think of any topics for a while. Futaba Rio herself was a person who was out of touch with everyone else, so she knew even less about what was going on in school.

The two sat in the laboratory in silence for a long time. Thinking that there was nothing else to talk about, Xianren slowly moved closer to Futaba Rio and began to make moves...

Summer Cicadas: 266. It's decided. You're the male lead in the O drama.

After wiping his lips with a tissue, Xianren was walking back to the classroom. While walking in the schoolyard, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. When his eyes fell on the other person's face, Xianren couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Mr. Ogiwara?"

"Miyamizu-kun?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Ogiwara Issa looked sideways to see the wise man who had come to his side without him noticing, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

Ogiwara Issa just came here to take care of some things. He knew in his heart that Kento also studied at this school, but he had no intention of meeting Kento. He did not expect that the two of them would meet by coincidence in this schoolyard.

"I didn't expect to meet you at school. Is it about Sayu's admission?"

When Kento saw Ogiwara Issa at school, he was a little surprised at first, but when he remembered that Sayu had talked to him about the difficulties of enrolling in school last time, he thought that Ogiwara Issa came here to deal with this matter.

"Well, for some reasons, as you probably guessed, Sayu couldn't handle it well on her own. I happened to have some work to do, so I came here to take care of it."

"Is it settled?"

"It's almost settled. Sayu should be able to start school in a while. When the time comes, please, Miyamizu-kun, take good care of the child."

"Ah."

After chatting briefly with Ogiwara Issa, it was almost time for lunch break, so Xianren took the initiative to say goodbye to the young man in front of him and walked towards the inside of the school building.

Standing in the school grounds, Ogiwara Issa watched the back of Kento as he left. He stood there with a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he walked towards the school gate, took a car to leave Toyosaki, and headed towards the hotel where he was currently staying.

"Miyazu-kun, do you know the person you were chatting with just now?"

As soon as she entered the classroom and sat down in her seat, someone came up to her, looked at her curiously, and asked about what had happened to Ogihara Issa just now.

Standing in the schoolyard, anyone who was close to the window could see the conversation between Kento and Ogiwara Issa. He glanced towards the window and then looked at Hinami Aoi who was standing in front of him with a smile and curiosity on her face. The curiosity in her watery eyes almost drowned him.

"Young Master of Ogihara Foods, what's wrong? Do you want to get to know him and have some fairy tale story with such a noble man?"

"Ogiwara Foods?"

"You probably don't hear much about this company in Tokyo, so it's normal that you don't know it."

There was no detailed introduction to the things related to Ogiwara Issa. Xianren took a look at Hinami Aoi in front of him and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"As for the other questions, there's nothing much to it. I'm just a little surprised that Miyamizu-kun actually knows such a high-quality man."

A look of confusion appeared on Hinami Aoi's gentle face, as if she didn't understand how Kento knew Ogiwara Kazusa. Kento smiled slightly at Hinami Aoi who looked so confused.

"Excellent people are always surrounded by equally excellent people. If they become interested in me because of this, it would be a very dangerous thing."

"That really makes people more interested."

Not expecting that Xianren would say such witty remarks, Hinami Aoi showed a surprised expression on her face. She stared at Xianren in front of her for a while, learned some things related to Ogiwara Issa, and then returned to her seat.

"What did Hinami Aoi talk to you about?"

In the afternoon, when coming out of the school gate, Nakano Satsuki came up to Xianren and asked casually.

"Men's affairs, are you interested in men?"

"She talked to you about men?"

The unexpected answer made Nakano Satsuki a little confused. Usually, there was no interaction between Hinami Aoi and Kento. Today, she suddenly started talking to Kento, and the content of the conversation was about men. She couldn't understand it.

"She's related to a young master. Are you interested in that young master as well? Well, the last time I went to your house, I could tell your family seemed to be upper class. It just so happened that the person Hinami Aoi was chatting with was also upper class. Would you like to meet him?"

"not interested."

After frowning and hearing what Kento was talking about, Nakano Mayu felt disgusted instinctively. She looked to her side and found that Kento's expression did not change at all. Her mood suddenly became even worse.

The two of them didn't talk much for the rest of the journey until they arrived at the private school and saw Pingtian. Then they spoke together, greeted Pingtian, and then went back to their own things.

Looking at the subtle disagreement between the two, Tsubota felt quite a bit of doubt in his heart, but he felt that it had nothing to do with him. Speaking casually might cause disgust between the two, so he decided to observe for a while longer.

"If it doesn't affect the private school, just pretend you didn't see it."

Compared to usual days, Xianren left the private school and Tsubota a little earlier today and returned to his apartment at seven o'clock.

After returning to his apartment, Xianren took out a business card from his drawer, ordered a sushi restaurant, and then called Mari Fukaoka to inform her that he had completed his work.

"finished?"

"It's finished. There should have been more to it, but I didn't know how to continue. I felt like the story had almost come to an end, so I just wrote an ending."

"I see. So, what about the manuscript of your work?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to open the Sakura Club. Then it will be troublesome."

"Tomorrow afternoon?"

"afternoon."

"Then, I'll wait for you at the publishing house tomorrow afternoon."

"it is good."

After making an appointment with Mari Fukaoka to meet tomorrow, Xianren hung up the phone, opened his document, and looked again at what he had written last night. He confirmed the general content, corrected some typos and wrong words, connected the printer, and printed out the work.

The small home printer was not very expensive, and Xianren bought it for only 30,000 yen at a home appliance store.

It is rarely used in normal times, and it is only at this time that it comes in handy.

Sitting at the desk, looking at the printed content, Xianren didn't know whether this work could be as popular as the last one.

"The last one was a success, but I'm not sure if this one will be as successful as the last one. But at least it shouldn't be completely ineffective."

As a semi-bestselling author, Xianren felt that the number of his first print run should not be as miserable as the last time. The first print run of 6000 copies was a number that he would never forget in his life.

This time, the printing quantity should be at least tens of thousands.

"I wonder if Kaiyingshe will come up with any help this time. No, nothing is finalized yet. I have to meet with Fuuokana Mari tomorrow before I can consider these things."

Xianren, sitting in the room, looked at the thick manuscript he had printed, stapled it together, put it in a folder, and stuffed it into his schoolbag. He didn't have to go back to the apartment and went directly to Kaiying Society after school.

The wise man, who had nothing else to do, prepared his dinner, and after dinner, he lay down on his bed to rest.

I didn't get a good rest last night. I did rest for a while at school today, but it wasn't a high-quality rest. Now I'm back to my apartment and have dinner in a quiet room. Soon I felt sleepy. After taking a shower, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.

Ding--

Ding--

Ding-dong-

Late at night, while still sleeping in his bed, having a strange dream about chasing a phantom that he couldn't catch in an abandoned school building overgrown with vines, the continuous ringing of the doorbell made Xianren open his eyes.

He looked towards the door, picked up the phone under his pillow, saw the time was 21:23, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to describe his mood, so he came to the door in his pajamas.

The peephole peeked outside, and in the dim moonlight, he saw a familiar figure. The sage opened his door.

"What's going on at this time of night? Everyone's gone to bed."

Ogiwara Sayu, who was also wearing pajamas, looked at the wise man in front of her and couldn't help biting her lip.

"I can't sleep alone."

After hearing what Ogiwara Sayu said, Xianren narrowed his eyes, stared at the girl in front of him for a while, reached out and pulled her into his room, and closed the door behind him...

After returning home to rest, Hifumi Takimoto heard the noise coming from next door. She had just laid down on her bed when her expression became depressed. She felt that she needed to have a good talk with her neighbor about this issue someday.

After tossing and turning until the early morning, looking at Ogiwara Sayu who was exhausted beside him, Kento lay down again, closed his eyes and continued to rest.

The next day, afternoon.

When it was time to go home from school, he looked at Nakano Satsuki who was following him.

"I've already taken today off."

"Ok?"

"I have something to do, so I won't be going to the private school. You don't have to follow me."

After informing Nakano Satsuki, Xianren walked towards the nearest station. Nakano Satsuki stopped, looked at Xianren's back, was silent for a while, and did not rashly follow him. After a moment of silence, he continued to walk towards the private school alone.

A man took the subway to the door of Kaiyingsha's publishing house, entered the publishing house, and told the front desk about his appointment with Mari Kazeoka. The other party contacted Mari Kazeoka who was working and led Kento to the reception room.

The last time he came, Xianren was served plain water, but this time he was served tea. Looking at the clear tea in front of him, Xianren couldn't help but sigh.

“The treatment has suddenly changed.”

He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip. It tasted okay, the kind of cheap tea he usually drank.
