I won't be a loser.

"Forget it, let's just leave this place idle for the time being. If there's nothing else to do, I'll just wander around here for a while."

He stood up and looked back at the bed behind him. Xianren left the bedroom and came to the door. After locking it, he walked towards the station.

Compared to his apartment in Koishikawa, this one in Gokokuji is closer to the subway and station, and has more convenient transportation. Of the 1.5 million yen price of the entire apartment, an estimated 3,000 million to 4,000 million yen is probably related to its geographical location.

When we walked near the Gokokuji station, we saw a large display case. Inside the closed display case were many movies, comics, etc. related to Kodansha.

Across the road is the famous publishing house - Kodansha.

Looking across the street, I saw the majestic high-rise buildings and the banners hanging on them. The banners were celebrating the sales of famous comics exceeding 100 million and 10 million copies respectively.

"Where are the comics?"

Looking at Kodansha across the street, Kento felt a little weird. In fact, it wasn't just comics. Many literary awards in the publishing industry also had a certain relationship with Kodansha.

Kaiyingsha, Kodansha.

The wise man thought about it in his heart, filtered the differences between the two, and nodded.

"I'll think about it later."

There is really no need to rush to consider these things now. Wait until you see the situation in all aspects and then make the appropriate decision based on the situation at that time.

During the holiday, Kento, who was supposed to be at home, came to the campus of Toyonosaki. When the security guard on duty saw Kento, he had some impression of him as a student. After a simple registration, he was able to enter the campus smoothly and meet Rio Futaba in the laboratory.

"School hasn't even started yet, but you're already impatient?"

It was still a white lab coat, but it was much thicker inside, and she also wore thick black stockings under her short skirt.

"What do you want from me?"

Glancing at Xianren who had entered the laboratory, Futaba Rio looked at him calmly.

"Nothing much, I just stayed at home and didn't know what to do, so I came to take a look."

Hearing the wise man's answer, such a leisurely answer made Futaba Rio not know what to say.

Standing quietly in the laboratory, he lowered his head and continued to record.

I found a place to sit quietly, looking at the girl's serious posture and expression, supporting my chin with one hand, and the boredom in my heart gradually dissipated. I quietly looked at the girl's hands, looked at her eyes, and then looked at her long hair and the faintly visible ears...

At noon, after finishing the experiments and recording, Rio Futaba cleaned up the laboratory and left the school with Kento. The two went to a nearby sushi restaurant.

"I'm not really that interested in sushi."

"Then why did you follow me in?"

Futaba Rio glanced at Xianren who was sitting next to her, and saw that Xianren said he was not interested, but he took down plate after plate of sushi, dipped them in soy sauce and stuffed them into his mouth, almost eating one at a time.

"But it's not that bad, it's just a little pricey."

This is a relatively high-end conveyor belt sushi restaurant. The prices in the restaurant are slightly more expensive than those in ordinary sushi restaurants. The four plates in front of Xianren alone cost over a thousand yuan.

When it was time to leave the restaurant, Futaba Rio was the one who was about to pay the bill, but Kento was a little quicker and handed over a 10,000 yen bill and quickly paid the bill.

"I can do it myself—"

"Satisfy my vanity a little?"

"......"

"Are your parents home?"

"rest at home."

"Then I'll take you to a place."

After taking a look at the girl beside him, Xianren smiled and led her into the subway station. They took the subway all the way to Gokokuji Temple. When they walked out of the station, Futaba Rio saw Kodansha on the side.

Thinking of the identity of the wise man, one of them seemed to be a writer, and he couldn't help but look at the wise man holding his hand.

"Are you going to the publishing house?"

"No, no, I don't have any business dealings with Kodansha yet... Um, does buying their magazines count as business dealings?"

"where to?"

He held Futaba Rio's soft hand, put it in his shirt pocket, and led her towards his new house. It took about ten minutes for them to reach the end of the street. Standing in front of his house, he opened the door and went inside.

When she saw Kento take out the key and open the door, Futaba Rio's expression was a little surprised, and when she saw Kento enter the house, she fell into a brief silence.

She also learned the location of his apartment from Kento, and remembered that it was near Koishikawa.

"Is this your new apartment?"

"No, it's my home. I've already bought it. Here, the whole building."

After closing the door, he heard Futaba Rio's question from the side. He stretched out his hand and gestured up and down with his index finger.

For a moment, Futaba Rio was a little confused.

She is still a student and indeed has not yet entered the society, but she is already a high school student and has a certain basic understanding of society. Especially on campus, there are often some classmates who rent apartments alone and will talk about rent in order to show their "maturity" and "uniqueness".

Futaba Rio was also very clear in her heart that in Tokyo, especially in the more central Bunkyo Ward, the housing prices were not affordable for ordinary people, especially—

Looking at the layout and facilities in the living room, Futaba Rio felt a little complicated.

An active high school student bought a house in the central area of Tokyo before the end of his first year of high school.

No matter how you think about it, it's a bit...

"Please sit down. I don't come here very often. Let me boil some water first."

There is tea, coffee, even juice and carbonated drinks, but there is no hot water. In such weather and temperature, juice and carbonated drinks are obviously not very suitable, and tea and coffee both require hot water.

Even the wise man who seldom comes here often has to boil some water before he can make tea or coffee to entertain Futaba Rio.

Standing in the living room, she slowly came to the dining room and saw Xianren boiling water. She carefully observed the layout and facilities in the dining room, and then looked at Xianren standing in front of the kitchen counter.

"This place, really?"

"Hmm? Yes, I've already bought it. I spent 1.5 million yen. It's a bit pricey, but I think it's pretty good in every way. It's not disappointing at all."

Futaba Rio wanted to ask him where he got the money to buy this property, but she felt that it was inappropriate to ask like this. She stood silently in the restaurant, looking at the environment, and Xianren came to her side.

"It will take some time for the water to boil, so I'll take you to see the environment here first."

Futaba Rio naturally had no objection, so she went upstairs with Kento and took a look at his bathroom and bedroom.

The bathroom is gray and black, which complements the white bathtub. It feels like being surrounded by obsidian, which is a special feeling. Futaba Rio looked at this novel environment, walked to the bathtub, looked at the bathtub and the lights above her head, but did not touch them.

Her cautious character made Xianren, who thought she would get wet, feel a little disappointed.

The expected scene did not appear. After leaving the bathroom, he led Futaba Rio to the bedroom. Looking at the bedroom space which was a bit narrow but warm, Xianren, who was standing next to the girl, saw the light in Futaba Rio's eyes at a glance.

"The bed is very soft, would you like to try it?"

Walking to the edge of the bed, Xianren sat down and reached out to pat the bed gently. Futaba Rio looked at Xianren, then looked at the bed, was silent for a moment, then walked to Xianren's side and sat down.

Seeing the girl sitting next to him, the wise man stretched out his hand, took the girl into his arms, and gently carried her to the bed...

Other items may not be fully prepared, but there are about ten boxes of emergency supplies neatly arranged in Xianren’s bedside table, which is more than enough for use.

From about one in the afternoon until four o'clock, when it was almost dark, Futaba Rio sat up a little tiredly and looked at the sky outside the window.

"It's already dark."

"Stay here tonight. You're not kids anymore. There's no need to go back every day, right?"

"Do you want my parents to know about you and me?"

"I don't mind it much."

"I mind."

Futaba Rio sat up, glanced at Kento who was still lying beside her, put her hands behind her neck, tied the knot, and silently put on her clothes. Even though the air conditioner was on, it was still a bit cold when she got out of bed.

Xianren, who was lying on the bed, was silent for a moment as he looked at Futaba Rio who was getting dressed.

"do you have time tomorrow?"

Rio Futaba, who had tied up her long hair and was biting a hairband, glanced at the lying Kento, straightened her hair, and then tied it up.

"Have."

"Come back tomorrow."

"You.....we'll talk about it later."

Futaba Rio put on her clothes, stood up and walked to the edge of the bed. When she put on her pants, Kento also sat up, put on his clothes, and left the bedroom with Futaba Rio.

"Let me take you home, and go back to my own apartment as well."

"......"

Futaba Rio did not refuse. The two of them went out. Xianren locked the door again and accompanied her back to the street in front of her house before stopping.

"Then, see you tomorrow."

"Ah."

After saying goodbye to each other, Xianren turned and walked towards his apartment.

At around seven o'clock, Xianren returned to his apartment. Just as he came out of the bathroom and was about to lie down on his bed to rest, the doorbell rang.

Xianren walked to the door, took a look outside, and then opened the door, and saw Ogiwara Sayu standing at the door.

"Are you waiting for me every night?"

"Because I don't know what you do during the day, so I can only disturb you at night."

"come in."

After letting the girl into his room, the wise man slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

"Look tired?"

"Kind of."

"Then can I help you cheer up?"

Coming to Xianren's side, Ogiwara Sayu climbed onto his bed, sat behind him, put her hands on his shoulders, and began to knead them gently.

The feeling of comfort made Xianren tilt his neck back and close his eyes.

"How about it?"

Ogiwara Sayu lowered her head, put her face close to Kento's ear, and asked softly.

"It's OK, but a little less powerful."

"Then I'll try my best."

The force on his shoulder became stronger, but it didn't make Xianren feel much pain. Compared with those professional masseuses, Ogihara Sayu's strength was still a little weaker.

As he rubbed her, he felt the force weakening, and guessed that she probably didn't have much strength left. He leaned back slightly and lay in the girl's fragrant and soft arms. He opened his eyes and looked into her sad eyes.

I have to say, it really lifted my spirits...

For the rest of the time, I basically spent most of my time resting at home, and occasionally went out with Feng Xiaochun and Futaba Rio to some new and interesting places for a short stroll. Time soon came and it was time to go to school.

Another year of budding: 301. Alas!!!

Spring has come,

I don't know the name of this mountain.

The mist is transparent and charming.

Returning from daily life to campus life always makes Xianren feel inexplicably different, especially when he puts on his school uniform again, steps into the campus, and looks at the other people around him.

"Deep down I feel like I can't get back the way I was before. It's only been less than a month, but I never expected my life to change so drastically."

At noon, Xianren, who couldn't stay in the classroom, came to the club activity room of the Astronomy Department and saw Feng Xiaochun leaning in front of the window, observing something with an astronomical telescope. He came to the side of the pretty girl and looked at the campus scenery outside the window, feeling a little emotional.

Feng Xiaochun stared at the leaves on a tree for a while, and then gradually shifted his gaze to the wise man beside him.

"complacent?"

"A little bit. I can't deny that deep down I'm feeling a bit complacent. The direction of my life has suddenly become blurry. I'm not a strong-willed person, so faced with a situation like this, it's inevitable that I'll waver a bit."
