I won't be a loser.

"It's troublesome to go back, so I'll stay here tonight. Is there anything that's so urgent that you need to go back?"

"No...no."

"Setsuna, the world is with you tonight, is that okay?"

"fine."

"Well, good night~"

Saionji Yuko smiled and said goodbye to the two of them and went into the bathroom, while the remaining three stayed in the living room. Kento was also feeling a little sleepy while watching the show. People feel tired in spring, sleepy in autumn, and hibernate in summer and winter. It is normal to feel sleepy when the temperature is warm in winter.

She lay sideways on Shanshan's legs, but she felt that Shanshan's legs were too thin and not as sensual as her mother's legs.

Sekai Saionji, who was standing by, felt a bit strange as she watched Kento relax so suddenly. For a moment, she didn't know how to describe her feelings. She felt a bit envious, but also a bit like...

After watching the show for about half an hour, Mai Kiyoura and Yuko Saionji came out of the bathroom in their pajamas.

The air conditioning makes me feel a bit stuffy, maybe because I have a cold. The most annoying times are summer and winter.

Thanks to Dacongming, the cutest sister, Zhimahu Jiale, Qiuyue Xiaosan@, God favors me, Suomarezi, and Xuminajie for their monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

When the summer cicadas chirp: 295. My mind went blank

When the Red and White Song Contest ended, the two girls sitting in the living room were already drowsy. They struggled not to close their eyes, but they had no energy left.

"That's all for tonight. Get some rest and then visit the shrine tomorrow morning."

"Well...but, sunrise..."

Saionji Sekai was also very sleepy and had no energy at all. She looked at the show that had ended and then at Xianren beside her. She opened her mouth, feeling dizzy and wanting to rest, but then she remembered that sunrise was still a few hours away.

"The sun rises every day. There's no need to force yourself. Staying up late is bad for your health. If you sleep a little now, you might be able to see the sun rise when you wake up."

After some comfort, Saionji Sekai did not persist. It is difficult to maintain one's persistence, but it is easy to give up.

Feeling that her whole brain was a little stuffy, she nodded and watched Xianren stand up and stretch out his hands in front of her and Qingpu Setsuna. Qingpu Setsuna, who was also exhausted and in a trance, looked at the hand extended by Xianren and stretched out his own hand.

He helped the two of them into the bedroom, let them lie down on the bed, and then turned and walked out the door.

"A wise man?"

"I'm going back to rest. I'll come see you in the morning."

"......"

Deep down, they were a little reluctant and hoped that Xianren would stay overnight, but after listening to Xianren's answer, they felt it was very reasonable. Their tired minds were no longer enough to support them thinking about these things. After watching Xianren wave goodbye and walk out of the room, they looked at each other and prepared to go out to take a shower before going to bed.

Xianren, who came out of the girls' room, also felt a little tired. He left the door and returned to his apartment. He entered the house, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and felt a little more refreshed. Then he walked to the desk.

0:46

It was almost one in the morning, and at normal times he would have been lying in his bed resting.

But today is indeed because of the New Year, and I haven't rested until now. Looking at the calendar time above, it shows - 2015/1/1

I feel a little emotional in my heart. After a long year, it is the beginning of a new year.

'Don't doubt it, the flowers on the tide are also the spring of the seaside.'

A haiku by Matsuo Basho emerged in my mind. I expressed my feelings about the new year, then closed my notebook again, lay down on my bed, closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, I opened my sleepy eyes in a daze when the doorbell rang.

When he arrived at the door, he saw two girls wearing thick and gorgeous kimonos. Then he remembered that today was the beginning of the new year. His sleepy spirit gradually began to revive. He invited the two girls into his house, boiled some water, and put on his own clothes.

"Sorry, overslept."

"It's the new year, and I haven't seen the sunrise yet. Setsuna and I were waiting for you, but when we woke up, it was already nine o'clock. Now it's ten o'clock, and it's almost noon."

Saionji Sekai had some complaints. He was looking forward to watching the sunrise, but when he woke up and saw that the sun was already high in the sky, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in his heart, as if he had lost something. When he saw Xianren who had just woken up, he couldn't help complaining.

"Ah, I was so tired that I overslept."

"Are you okay?"

Facing Qingpu Setsuna's concerned inquiries, Xianren shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine, and then went to make two cups of tea with freshly boiled water.

Of the two girls, Sekai Saionji is in the style of a purple butterfly, while Setsuna Kiyoura is in the style of a pink peony.

"How is it? Does the dress look suitable?"

Saionji Sekai noticed the gaze of the wise man and showed herself in front of the wise man without any shyness.

"Well, it looks great on you all. Haven't you been to the shrine yet?"

"not yet."

"There are quite a few people at breakfast, and there should be even more people at noon and in the afternoon. Do you want to go now?"

The two girls looked at each other and nodded in unison.

So, the three of them made some simple preparations and hurried out to visit the nearest shrine. Large shrines would probably be very crowded today, but small shrines would probably have fewer people.

Because it is in Bunkyo Ward, there are many shrines around, including the very famous Kanda Shrine and Hakusan Shrine.

A large shrine like Kanda Myojin, especially one that holds activities like the Kanda Festival, was not among the choices of the wise man. He led the two girls to Hakusan Shrine to worship Inari Daimyojin.

Although it is one of the ten shrines in Tokyo, along with Kanda Myojinja Shrine, Hakusan Shrine is truly a "small shrine".

“There are still a lot of people.”

I thought there wouldn't be many people, but when I arrived at my destination, I didn't expect there were still a lot of people, most of them were elderly.

The three of them waited there for a while before entering the shrine, paying homage together, and then quickly returned to the sage's house. The three of them sat down. They were very tired on the way back and forth.

For the two girls, the clothes they wore were beautiful, but they were also a huge nuisance. They had to walk in small steps and could not take long strides. They had to take every step carefully.

If it wasn't for a rare festival, I wouldn't want to wear it.

"Aren't you going home?"

"I won't go. My mom and Setsuna's mom both have things to do today, so they've probably gone back."

"go back?"

"Meet the elders in the family."

Saionji Sekai's expression seemed a little helpless. She didn't know much about the elders in her family and they had basically no contact with them. However, every New Year, their mother would still go back to visit the elders.

"Well, let me prepare lunch then."

After hearing what the two said, Xianren stood up, took out the ingredients that had been prepared long ago from his refrigerator, and began to prepare today's lunch.

In the afternoon, there was nothing special to do, so we just sat in Xianren's apartment, took out our cell phones, and greeted our classmates and friends.

There were some overlaps between Sekai Saionji and Setsuna Kiyoura's friends, so the two asked each other about their blessings and greetings, and only started sending them after confirming that there were no conflicts.

As for Xianren, he didn't have many contacts to begin with, so he used a template and even omitted the name before sending it out directly.

I slept for a long time yesterday afternoon. I started waiting in the early morning and waited until noon.

Eriri was lying on her bed in her sportswear. Her originally smooth and silky blonde hair now looked a little dry and frizzy. She curled up her body and looked at the mobile phone in her hand. She was silent for a long time, put it down casually, and let out a long sigh.

"He doesn't care about me at all."

"It's been a year, and not only has the relationship not recovered, it's become even more distant."

"I'm so popular and I took the initiative to talk to him."

"I've had enough of this kind of life. He's not the only man in the world. There are obviously better options. I won't just focus on him!"

"I want to go back to my life and start over—"

Ding dong.

The sound of an email rang out, and Eriri's voice couldn't help but pause. She hesitated for a moment, and she lay on the bed with her head slightly sideways, looking at the mobile phone beside her. She hesitantly stretched out her hand, picked up the phone, and saw the email from Xianren.

“…I, I don’t care.”

With a frown on her face and pursed her lips, she clicked on the text message sent by the other party. Seeing the long paragraph of blessings and greetings, she was silent for a moment.

"I think this is what everyone should send."

"I don't care."

"I've decided I won't pay any more attention to him!"

When she closed her eyes and was about to delete the email, there was another "ding dong" sound. Her finger stopped in mid-air. She opened her eyes again and found that it was still an email from Xianren.

"Happy New Year, Eriri"

"......"

Biting her lips, she was silent for a moment, then curled up again, staring closely at the email message in front of her, biting her lips tightly, even though they turned white and were bitten and bleeding, she didn't care at all.

There is only one sentence echoing in my mind at this moment.

'In his heart, there is still me.'

In the apartment, looking at the two people who had not finished greeting each other, Xianren opened the email again, greeted them one by one, added their names, and then the sound of reply came "Ding-Ding-Ding".

Looking at the messages sent, he replied one by one. By the time he was almost done, it was already two or three in the afternoon.

Akihisa Yoshii even called directly and asked Kento if he had anything to do today and tomorrow. If he didn't have anything to do, would he like to go to his house to play games together? If he was tired, he could just sleep at his house. Yuji Sakamoto was also a guest at his house.

He flatly refused this.

It’s okay that there’s nothing to do during the New Year. At most, I’ll just lie at home and rest, hanging out with other boys. That’s too pitiful.

Saionji Sekai was a little surprised by the call from Kento and his friend. She rarely heard Kento talk about his friends. She didn't expect that he had such good relationships with people in school. She gradually became curious about Kento's situation in school.

"Does Xianren have many friends at school?"

"Friends, it's not too few."

"I rarely hear you talk about school, and I don't often see you going out to meet friends."

After thinking about it, Xianren realized that he seemed to rarely go out, especially when shopping with Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji. The rare times he went out were with Takasu Ryuji, and the other time was when he visited Umetaro Nozaki.

"Well, that's true."

He nodded and admitted that he rarely went out to meet friends.

Looking at the calm Xianren, Saionji Sekai didn't know what to say for a moment. She was silent for a moment and looked at Qingura Setsuna beside her.

However, he found that Qingpu Setsuna's expression and reaction were indifferent, so he calmed down.

In the evening, Kiyoura Mai and Saionji Oko also returned and went back to the Kiyoura family. They continued to have dinner at the Kiyoura family as they did last night, and Saionji Oko also came to help prepare dinner.

Without staying up late like last night, Sekai Saionji and Oko Saionji finished their meal and went home. Kento did not stay at the Kiyoura family for long. He stayed up for a while last night and was not in the mood today. He returned to his apartment early, took a shower, and went to the desk.

He opened his computer, stared at the document for a while, and then started to read the news and videos on the Internet.

"Hey, bro."

At 8:23, a phone rang and a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Good boy, you're already asleep at this hour."

"I'm not a child!"

"You're still a minor."

"Aren't you the same?!"

"whats the matter?"

"The day after tomorrow, I want to come to Tokyo."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Xianren put down his phone and looked at the news in front of him, and suddenly noticed a message.

"Lottery? Oh, it seems to be a lottery. The year-end lottery numbers have been released, right?"

He opened his drawer and took out the year-end lottery ticket he had bought some time ago. After looking at the numbers on it, he clicked on the news related to the lottery and looked at the numbers on it.

Group 51

He looked at his lottery ticket and saw that it was set 51. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect it was the same set. However, he didn't have any expectations of winning. He just bought it for fun. Things like winning the lottery are often already predetermined.

It is not the turn of outsiders to get involved.
