I won't be a loser.

"I have to go to school tomorrow, why not... forget it?"

- - - -

I dreamed of meeting a bad woman who cheated me of money and feelings. When I was about to take revenge on her and her seemingly bad friend, I found out that her friend was a good woman. Then I got married and had a child. After waking up, I looked at a room full of people... and cried.

Cherry Blossom Season: 56. The Temptation of Going Home

Shanna opened her eyes and stared at the sage in front of her without saying anything. Just staring at the sage gave him a great sense of oppression, which made the sage's eyes wander for a moment, and he understood the girl's determination.

"Okay, I understand. But it's still morning, so there's no need to rush. I'll go get ready first... Also, the quilt covers and sheets have already been washed, so they'll have to wait until at least this afternoon."

Glancing towards the washing machine, Xianren's expression was a little subtle. At that time, he just wanted to wash his sheets and quilt covers, but he didn't expect that they could be of some use at this time. Xianren looked at Setsuna.

The girl frowned slightly. She had not expected such a situation to happen. She felt that everything was going wrong. She looked at the wise man, not knowing why he suddenly thought of washing the sheets and quilt covers today.

He was confused, but did not ask. His eyes fell on the bed beside him. Looking at the pure white mattress, the quilt and pillow on the mattress, he suddenly felt a little anxious.

"my home."

"Ok?"

His eyes fell in front of Shanshan and met the girl's clear eyes. The girl pursed her cherry lips and gave a solution to the problem.

"Go to my house."

"..."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xianren also felt the girl's inner anxiety. He didn't quite understand why the girl was so anxious, but looking at Setsuna's eyes, he paused slightly.

"Miss Mai is still home, right? It's not appropriate to go to your house like this."

"Then bring the sheets and quilt covers from my room."

It is not impossible.

Looking at the petite girl in front of him with an unexpectedly stubborn personality, Xianren closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then looked at the girl in front of him again.

"Are you really ready?"

His eyes fell on the girl in front of him, and the wise man asked the girl in front of him.

Setsuna nodded, his eyes not wavering in the slightest.

The wise man sitting in the room slowly stood up, walked to the window, opened the gauze curtain, and looked at the blue sky outside the window.

The weather is very good today, the sun is shining brightly, and the warm light shines on our bodies, making us feel warm.

The window was opened slightly, and warm air blew into the room. Xianren returned to the room and sat down next to Setsuna.

The girl turned her head to look at the wise man who was sitting next to her. Her heart beat faster. She thought the wise man was going to do something to her, but then she saw that the wise man was just sitting next to her and didn't do anything to her.

After taking a look at the girl sitting next to him, Xianren brought his teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and looked at Setsuna beside him.

"Is Setsuna afraid of pain?"

“I am afraid, but because there are wise men, I am not afraid.”

Facing the sage's gaze, Shanma smiled brilliantly in the warm sunshine, melting away the remaining distance between the sage and the girl...

Lying alone in her bed with her eyes closed, Qing Pu Wu felt her body and regained her youth. She became restless, and the images swaying in her mind made her feel uneasy.

After opening her eyes, Qingpu Wu looked towards the door, sat up silently, and walked out of her room.

Looking at the empty living room, there was no sign of Shanda. It seemed that he had just returned home and had gone out again.

As for where I went...

"..."

Qingpu Mai could guess the answer without thinking too much. Her eyes seemed a little vague. She walked to the refrigerator, took out the milk, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank some from the small opening. She closed the refrigerator and sat down in the living room with the milk.

He picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV in front of him, and prepared to use the TV program to divert his attention.

"While Shimizu was dating his girlfriend, Akizuki, he also had an unholy relationship with Akizuki's mother. This led to Akizuki's revenge on Shimizu, causing Shimizu to..."

Looking at the news being broadcast in front of her, Qing Pu Mai's expression was a little unnatural. She touched the remote control she had just put down and changed the program -

"Didn't you agree to be with me? We've already decided on our life after marriage..."

"I'm sorry, I know this is wrong, but the person I like is your mother."

"Mom? She... you—"

This time, without even putting down the remote control, Qing Pu Mai directly turned off the TV in front of her and fell into a long silence.

"Is something not right today?"

This kind of news did appear in the past, but it was generally only seen once or twice in a long period of time. But why did they have to report such news today?

Sitting silently in the living room, Qingpu Wu bit her lips, looked back at Setsuna's room, feeling a little uneasy. She stood up silently, walked to the door of her daughter's room, and gently knocked on her daughter's door.

"Setsuna, are you there?"

There was no response in the room. Qing Pu Mai relaxed her guard slightly, looked down at the door, shook hands, and gently pushed the door open.

Looking at the empty room, she silently closed the door again and stood in the living room, not knowing what to do for a moment. She raised her head and looked at the clock hanging in the living room. The hands slowly pointed to ten o'clock.

It was almost noon. At this time, Setsuna would either go home immediately or stay at Xianren's place for dinner. She didn't really want to face her daughter at the moment.

Otherwise, I wouldn't pretend to be asleep in the morning when I'm clearly awake.

"Today, let's go out and stay at Yuko's place for a while, and hide from Setsuna for a while... No, Yuko is very sensitive about this. If we go to her now, she will definitely guess what happened."

But if she didn't go find Yuko and stayed at home, she wasn't fully prepared mentally, and her mood was still a little uneasy. In this situation, if she and Setsuna...

click-

The sound of the door opening was heard, and Qingpu Wu, who was standing in the living room, became stiff. Her mind went blank. Listening to the footsteps and voices at the entrance, Qingpu Wu gradually turned around and looked towards the door.

"Mom was still sleeping this morning, so she should be awake by now. However, our situation has nothing to do with her. Just go straight to my room."

"Ah."

The voices of Setsuna and Kento were clearly heard at the door. Qing Pu Mai turned around and saw her daughter and Kento standing beside Setsuna with a calm face.

— — — —

I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to take a nap first. I'll tell you what I dreamed about later.

Cherry Blossom Season: 57. Go to my house first, then go to yours [Subscribe]

"Miss Dance."

Xianren, who had entered her house with Shanshan, also noticed Qingpu Mai standing in the living room when he looked up, and greeted her naturally.

"Ken...Miyamizu-kun, Setsuna, it's the weekend today, did you plan to go out on a date?"

After a brief moment of shock, Qingpu Wu didn't know what was wrong with her. Her mood suddenly calmed down. She looked at her daughter, regained her usual composure, and asked with a smile.

The moment I returned home, I glanced at my mother, not knowing what she was doing standing in the living room.

"No, I just came back to get the sheets and quilt covers. Xianren cleaned the room today and washed the sheets and quilt covers. I didn't have any other spare sheets, so I gave them to him to use."

"..."

Qingpu Mai, who had just regained her composure, suddenly became a little unnatural after hearing Setsuna's words. An embarrassed expression flashed across her face, and she nodded as if thinking about something.

"So this is ah."

"I'm taking Xianren to his room. Don't worry about us."

"..."

Looking at Setsuna walking towards the room and Xianren standing beside her, Qingpu Wu clearly felt her heartbeat quicken for a moment when Xianren passed by her. It was not until Xianren and Setsuna entered the room and their figures disappeared in front of her that Qingpu Wu's heartbeat gradually returned to normal. Her face felt a little hot, and she rubbed her cheeks with her hands and sat down in the living room.

Last night, I originally just wanted to tell the young man that my daughter did not go home at night and stayed at the house of Saionji Sekai, but when we were chatting at the house of the wise man, the topic inexplicably turned to age.

After Qingpu Wu smiled softly, she noticed that Xianren's gaze lingered in front of her, which made Qingpu Wu look down at the figure under the black sweater in front of her. She then looked at Xianren who had shifted his gaze, her face slightly red, and she was a little surprised.

"Miyamizu-kun, you said last time that you prefer mature girls, right?"

Without thinking, he couldn't help but talk about the topic that should have been avoided, and the moment Qingpu Wu blurted out the question, he felt a little regretful.

Xianren, who was sitting opposite her, was also a little surprised by Qingpu Wu's words. He raised his head and looked at Qingpu Wu sitting opposite him with surprise.

"I did say that, but rather than saying I like mature women, it's more like I prefer mature and sensible women who won't cause trouble for others. This type of woman, if I were to simply summarize and describe her, would probably be considerate."

“Thoughtful…”

Qingpu Mai looked at the boy in front of her and nodded, but she didn't quite understand why Xianren would like this type of girl.

Although everyone has their own preferred type, why do they choose to be considerate of this type of girl?

"Don't you like lively girls?"

"It's not that I don't like them, but I prefer girls with quiet personalities over lively ones."

"Mature?"

Facing Qingpu Mai's gaze, Xianren nodded.

"Mature."

"Do you agree to date Setsuna because you think she's mature?"

"Because when Setsuna grows up, she will definitely look more like Miss Mai, so I am looking forward to Setsuna's future."

With a smile, Xianren's original intention was just to praise Qingpu Mai in front of him, but as soon as he said this, he noticed the mature single mother in front of him and his face turned red.

Angry?

Xianren was a little surprised. When he wanted to explain what he meant, Qingpu Mai's response made Xianren almost lose his composure for a moment.

"So...do you like my type, Xianren?"

Looking at Qingpu Mai's rosy face and shy expression, her soft whispers did not seem like she was angry at all. Instead, they were full of girlish emotions, which made Xianren confused for a while.

With the thinking of an adult, he naturally could see that Qing Pu Mai in front of him seemed to be... aroused?

"......"

For a moment, even though Xianren had a lot of things he wanted to say in his mind, facing Qingura Mai in front of him, he didn't know where to start. The atmosphere in the room fell into an inexplicable silence.

Just when Xianren was thinking about how to respond without being rude, Qingpu Mai opposite him had already taken action, slowly moving her seat and coming to Xianren's side.

Looking at the sage beside her, she had a blush on her face and a slight smile, her eyes fixed on the sage in front of her.

"Xianren also said before that he has never had a girlfriend, right?"

"Yes... I used to go home straight after school every day, and I spent my holidays with my sister, so I never thought about dating."

"So, the wise man isn't very familiar with this aspect of relationships, is he?"

"..."

The topic became more and more subtle. Xianren's reason told him to keep a distance from Qingpu Mai beside him, but as Qingpu Mai got closer and closer, moving his body seemed futile. Xianren nodded reluctantly.

It was obviously impossible for him to tell the young mother next to him that he had been in a relationship with a woman of about her age.

Seeing Xianren nod, Qingpu Mai's face became more and more rosy, and the atmosphere gradually became charming.

Feeling the delicate body pressed against his arm, his expression gradually became unnatural. He turned his head to look at Qingpu Wu beside him, and felt that the other's eyes were like rippling spring water, full of tenderness.

"Well then, let me teach you, sage, what to do when you're in love..."

When Qingpu Mai was sitting in the living room reminiscing, Xianren and Shanna had already entered the room. Shanna casually closed his door and looked at Xianren beside him. His expression was calm and natural, and there was nothing strange about it.

But just now in the living room...

Living with Kiyoura Mai and being raised by her, Setsuna clearly felt that her mother was different from her usual self. There was a distinct sense of incongruity, but she didn't know what was wrong. Her eyes were always on Kento.

"Did Mom just tell Xianren yesterday that I stayed overnight at Sekai's place?"

Looking at Setsuna's room, this was his first time entering Setsuna's room.

After hearing the girl's words, Xianren looked down at Setsuna beside him with a confused look on his face.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"
