I won't be a loser.

"Do you have time?"

A muffled sound came from behind, like a knife pressed against his back, causing Xianren to take two steps forward before turning back to look at the girl standing behind him.

"You again?"

"Who else besides me? Oh, you have a girlfriend."

Sawamura Eriri, who looked neither happy nor sad, seemed to have accepted the fact that she had nothing to do with Kento now. She stared at Kento in front of her, her eyes fixed on him, making Kento, who was being stared at, couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

After all, he had been funded by the other party for a period of time, so he couldn't be too indifferent. He adjusted his mentality and looked at the blonde girl in front of him with calm eyes.

"whats the matter?"

"Go home with me."

"I don't have time. My mother is in Tokyo, and I have to go back to Itomori tomorrow."

"One hundred thousand."

"This is not a matter of money. Family love cannot be measured by money—"

"Half a million."

"I'll go home with you. I'll just take you home."

Staring at the girl in front of him, Xianren repeated what she had just said and said that he would only take Eriri to her doorstep.

"Let's go."

The girl standing in front of Xianren pursed her lips and walked towards home, while Xianren followed her quietly. The two of them walked forward step by step. Other students at the school gate noticed the two of them and suddenly showed a gossipy expression.

The talk of the campus, the 'blonde girl', and the talk of the town, the 'scandal writer', the two of them walking together, are enough to arouse the imagination of many people.

Futaba Rio, who was about to leave the school, noticed the strange environment around her. Following the gazes of others, she noticed Kento walking with the girl she had met before, a blonde girl named "Sawamura". She couldn't help but squint her eyes.

"Humph."

With a muffled groan, he left that trace of doubt in his heart and headed towards the subway station.

When she was alone with Kento, she had plenty of time to ask him what was going on with that 'Sawamura'.

One in front and one behind, the blonde girl in front was walking a little hurriedly with her slender legs.

The wise man walking behind her looked at her leisurely, taking slow steps and quietly following the girl. After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the door of Sawamura's house.

"I don't have enough on me, come in with me."

"Why don't you just go in and take it out?"

"Can you get in?"

Staring at the blonde girl in front of him who was glaring at him, he didn't know what was wrong with her. He sighed and followed her into the mansion. Sayuri Sawamura didn't show up in the living room, so Kento accompanied Eriri into her familiar bedroom.

The wise man entered the house, and the girl turned around and went to the door and locked her bedroom door.

He was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the blonde girl who was blocking the door and staring at him. Xianren looked around the bedroom and didn't see anyone else. Then his eyes fell on the girl in front of him.

The girl, her expression hidden in the shadows under her blonde hair, bit her lips tightly.

Looking at the girl in front of him, the wise man did not speak, because he did not know what to say to the girl.

But soon, he heard sobbing sounds. The girl standing in front of him had crystal tears sliding down her face, dripping onto the floor, blooming like a flower...

Headache.

I should have expected this to happen. Looking at the crying girl in front of me, the wise man's expression became helpless. He walked up to her in silence and was about to speak -

Most of the time, she would indeed rest at home, but sometimes, she still had to check on the revenue of her own company. After dealing with the financial problems, Sayuri Sawamura just returned home and saw two pairs of shoes at the door.

"Ok?"

One pair of shoes belonged to her daughter, and Sayuri Sawamura was quite sure of it. However, the other pair of shoes clearly did not look like shoes her daughter would wear. They looked more like shoes for boys...

The mood was a bit subtle, as my daughter seemed to have brought the boy back home.

Sayuri Sawamura entered the house and slowly came to the living room. She did not see the two of them, but she was not very surprised. With her daughter's personality, it was normal for her to avoid her when something happened.

"So it's in her own room?"

With a thoughtful expression, Sayuri Sawamura, who was standing in the living room, slowly walked to the door of her daughter's room.

Just as he was about to put his ear to the door of the room to listen to what his daughter and the other party were talking about, he heard the movement behind the door as he got close to the door, and his expression suddenly became subtle.

"......"

The folding fan in her hand covered her cheeks, and her face hidden behind the fan was slightly red. She did not expect that her daughter would be so bold.

After hesitating for a moment near the door, she still did not disturb her daughter and silently turned and left the living room.

Even Xianren couldn't remember how long it had been. His whole mind was in a trance, immersed in the memories of the past. He saw Eriri at that time, and also saw Sayuri at that time. The girl in front of him and her face overlapped, making Xianren lose his mind.

Even after the storm subsides, the surging waves cannot change the devastated beach.

Looking at the tired-looking and dazed-eyed girl, the wise man sitting on the edge of the bed wanted to get himself a cigarette, but there was obviously no cigarette in the girl's room.

"I'm going back."

"Don't leave."

The tired girl struggled to sit up, wanting to keep the wise man.

But how could Xianren stay like this? He didn't know how to face the girl in front of him, and his heart was a little complicated.

"Let me calm down for a moment. Oh, and don't forget the five hundred thousand."

He hurriedly picked up his clothes, left the girl's room, closed the door, and prepared to leave. But when he came to the living room, he found that familiar figure sitting quietly on the sofa, as if waiting for him. When he saw him appear, his eyes fell on him.

"What's your relationship with Eriri now?"

"classmate."

"No relationship?"

"Although it's a bit embarrassing to say it, but I have a girlfriend."

"I know about this, but now that you've had this kind of relationship with Eriri, have you ever thought about what will happen to her in the future?"

“I was the passive one.”

Looking at the person from the past, and now talking to him about Eriri, it always felt a bit like the reincarnation of history. He closed his eyes, slowly walked to the sofa opposite Sayuri Sawamura, sat down, took a teacup, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The not-so-polite reaction and action made Sayuri Sawamura look at the boy twice more. She also had some understanding of the boy's affairs.

Sayuri Sawamura didn't understand what was so attractive about the boy, but from her perspective as a mother, the boy in front of her was not very trustworthy in terms of his emotions.

"If you really reject Eriri, you don't have any other options, right?"

"But it hurt her. After she found out about my situation and showed such an attitude, I didn't know what to do. That's how it happened."

He put the teacup back on the table and looked at Sayuri Sawamura sitting opposite him. He told himself in his heart that the other party was not that person. He slowly lowered his eyes, making Sayuri Sawamura unable to see through the boy in front of him. His reaction always felt a little wrong.

He seemed to understand her, but he was careful to keep a distance from her and didn't dare to look into her eyes.

Guilty?

It doesn't seem like it.

"So, you still have her in your heart, but you don't know what to do because of your current girlfriend?"

"I'm dating someone for a bit, and I've already confirmed my future plans with my current girlfriend, so I'm not planning on...breaking up with her."

"I understand."

Sayuri Sawamura nodded slightly, looking at the boy in front of her.

"Qingpu, is that your last name?"

Xianren narrowed his eyes and lowered his eyelids, looking at Sayuri Sawamura in front of him. His eyes suddenly became solemn. Looking at Sayuri Sawamura who opened her folding fan, he frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"As a mother, I don't want to interfere in my daughter's affairs, but I also don't want to make Eriri too sad, so I will use some methods that won't hurt your girlfriend to persuade her to break up with you."

"Because I have no intention of breaking up, you want to start with her and persuade her to break up with me?"

"Don't you have confidence?"

Kento, who was sitting opposite, was not surprised at all by the attitude shown by Sayuri Sawamura. He knew her very well, even though he was the one being targeted by her now.

"As you like."

He stood up with mixed feelings and didn't want to continue chatting with the other party face to face. He stood up, glanced at Sayuri Sawamura, and left the living room without looking back.

Watching the boy's departing back, Sayuri Sawamura covered her face with her folding fan and squinted her eyes. After Xianren left the living room, she turned her head to look at the stairs. She had just noticed a figure wrapped in a bed sheet hiding in the corner of the stairs.

The snow-white shoulders were exposed just like that, without any notice at all.

Is that really his daughter?

Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but sigh in her heart, closed her eyes, and began to think about how to deal with the boy named Miyamizu and his girlfriend.

"Let's investigate first."

There was still the scent of the other person on his body. While his mother was not back in the apartment yet, Xianren went into the bathroom, threw his clothes into the clothes rack, turned on the shower, and let the water droplets sprinkle on his body. As the coolness turned to warmth, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking down, he could still see a deep red mark on his left arm. It was the mark left on him by the other party when his body and soul merged.

Fortunately, I didn't scratch my skin, and it will almost disappear after a while...

"Aren't you back yet?"

I walked out of the bathroom and wiped my wet hair with a towel. I didn't see my mother in the room. It seemed that she hadn't come back yet. When I was in the bathroom, I didn't hear any sound of the door opening.

When I came to the desk and picked up my phone, I noticed an unread text message.

"Eating out, I'll be back later."

The text message from his mother, Miyamizu Futaba, made Kento, who had wanted to go home early and have his last dinner in Tokyo with his mother, feel that he was being a little too sentimental.

"Are you dining with that person?"

Even though I have written down the address in Adachi Ward, I have never visited it. I don't know who lives there and who would make my mother care so much about it.

It's not that he has no relatives in Tokyo, but the relationship is very ordinary. Even though he has been in Tokyo for such a long time since he came from Itomori, the two sides have never met each other.

It seemed like we hadn't seen each other since we moved out of Itomori many years ago, and it was as if the other person had completely disappeared from the world.

'Who could that person be?'

He grumbled in his heart, but what Xianren was most concerned about and worried about at the moment was still related to Sayuri Sawamura, so he didn't pay special attention to "that person" anymore, but instead thought seriously about what Sayuri Sawamura said.

Drops of water from the ends of his hair dripped onto the towel on his shoulders. Xianren, who was sitting at the desk, slightly adjusted the direction of his seat and looked towards the Qingpu family.

"Should we first inform Wu and tell her what happened today?"

"No, I feel a little guilty. Even if I didn't initiate it, in everyone's eyes, I'm definitely the one who's wrong. If I speak up, it will definitely make Mai unhappy."

But if I don't speak up, and Sayuri Sawamura speaks up later, things won't be any better.

It's just a matter of time.

If Kiyoura Mai cannot accept this matter, it will make no difference whether Kento speaks up first or Sayuri Sawamura speaks up passively.

After thinking this matter through, Xianren no longer hesitated. He stood up, put on his clothes, left his apartment in a pair of slippers, and walked from his home to the door of Qingpu's house.

The doorbell rang. I stood at the door and waited for a moment, then I heard footsteps behind the door.

A wisp of the fragrance of incense came towards me from inside the house as the door opened. My eyes fell on the girl who opened the door. Qingura Setsuna, who was wearing a gray cherry-colored long skirt, was standing at the door.

"Mother?"

When she saw the wise man in front of her, their eyes met for just a moment, and Qingpu Shanma realized that her boyfriend was not here to see her.

"Well, there's something I want to tell her."

"come in."

Feeling a little disappointed, Qingpu Setsuna turned around silently and went back into the house. Xianren entered the house, closed the door gently, and followed Qingpu Setsuna into the living room, where he saw Qingpu Mai who seemed to be preparing dinner.
