I won't be a loser.

"Ah."

He poured a cup of cold tea for Shanshan and placed it in front of her. Xianren did not continue to sit at the desk, but sat down at the coffee table. Shanshan also sat down with Xianren, holding the teacup.

"Did I disturb you?"

"No, I didn't know how to write anyway. I was just wasting my time. You coming here just saved me from this boring hell. By the way, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Nothing special, it's just that I haven't been alone with you for a long time, so..."

"...Yes, it has been a long time since we've been alone together like this. Sorry."

He was silent for a moment, recalling some things. The girl in front of him had never complained to him, but he had been doing things that hurt her, and even his promises could not be fulfilled.

Perhaps because of this guilt in his heart, he has been avoiding the girl in front of him.

He did not have the so-called innocent heart, nor was he loyal. To the girl in front of him, he was just a person who went with the flow, and his heart had long been covered with dust and twisted.

After a moment's silence, he looked at the girl in front of him, feeling conflicted. His eyes gradually drooped, and he wanted to do something to her to express his apology and guilt. However, he also understood that his problem could not be solved with a simple apology.

"What's wrong, Xianren? You've suddenly become silent."

"I……"

"What do wise men think of happiness?"

"happiness?"

He slowly raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. His eyes were a little confused, but he gradually began to think about it. He remained silent, not knowing how to answer this question.

Sayuri?

No, it is already in the past. It has been such a long time, and with such complicated emotions, the wise man has gradually forgotten the existence of that person in his heart.

Immersing yourself in pain is nothing more than a solitary performance and self-hypnosis.

Now, he is still in self-hypnosis, and it has always been just his own self-touching and self-deception...

"I am very happy."

"..."

Looking at the girl opposite him, the words she said made Xianren's heart ache.

"I'm not trying to comfort Xianren. I know he's hiding a lot from me, but I don't regret meeting him."

"The atmosphere has suddenly become heavy, let's talk about something else..."

"Have you already got a child, sir?"

The attempt to change the subject failed, and the wise man, who had been trying to change the subject, looked at the girl in front of him and remained silent for a moment.

"Who told you this?"

"After graduating from high school, I plan to study abroad."

Things that had been talked about before, when they appeared again in the girl's mouth, took on some different meanings, and the sage's expression became solemn.

"I've already discussed this with the wise man before. I was prepared to leave without saying goodbye one day, but after careful consideration, I still think it would be better to tell the wise man."

"What do you mean?"

"Mom is already planning to run the restaurant. She was originally planning to hand it over to Shijie's mother in the future. Mom wanted me to study abroad with her, but now... I want her to stay in China while I go study abroad alone."

Facing the silent sage, Shanna seemed very calm.

"Dancing with her, do you already know?"

"I haven't told my mother yet. I will find time to tell her."

"You're going abroad. Aren't you planning on coming back?"

"I haven't considered that yet, but at least I won't come back before I finish my studies. That way, it will be a happy ending for both Xianren and me."

His eyes fixed on Setsuna, but he saw the girl's faint smile.

"The sage's gaze is a little scary."

"Ah, I know. My face must look very ugly right now."

Xianren was not surprised by Shanna's evaluation. He knew that his face must be very gloomy at the moment.

With one hand covering his face, he slowly stood up, poured a cup of tea irritably, drank it all, and slowly sat back in his original place. Looking at the moment opposite him, he narrowed his eyes.

I want to speak in a gentlemanly manner and tell Setsuna - I respect your decision.

But he found that he couldn't bring himself to say it. He no longer understood whether he liked Setsuna or was simply possessive of her. He took a deep breath to regulate his emotions.

"I……"

"Sage, you still care about me."

The girl's voice echoed in the house, and Xianren's somewhat anxious mood calmed down a little.

"I'm very happy. At least it makes me understand that the wise man has me in his heart."

He gave a bitter smile. Such an expression rarely appeared on the face of a wise man, but at this moment, the wise man could not help but give a bitter smile and rubbed his face with his hands.

After adjusting his mindset and looking at the girl in front of him, Xianren felt that there was no need for him to restrain himself any longer. The other party had already confessed her thoughts to him, and there was no point in worrying about his self-esteem and demeanor.

Letting go now is the same as letting go forever.

He had clearly agreed last time, but under different circumstances, facing the girl in front of him, Xianren rubbed his forehead, feeling deeply disgusted with his own indecision.

"Speak frankly."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xianren's expression turned serious.

"I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay by my side and be with me forever. Even if you are old and can't walk anymore, I don't want you to leave me first. That's what I think."

Facing the eyes looking straight at him, Shanna fell into silence.

"But, Xianren, you... already have a wife, right?"

"Sure enough, it was Koharu who told you, right?"

It wasn't much of a surprise to know that Xiaochun had done something without his knowledge, but he didn't expect that he would tell the girl in front of him about their affairs.

"How did she tell you about me and her?"

"Just took out the marriage certificate of the two of you and told me that you are already married."

Shanshan was very calm about this matter and did not show any sadness. Perhaps she had known about this matter for a long time and had completely let it go when Xianren was not seeing.

"Xianren, you once told me that you would be with me, right?"

"It was you, sage, who broke the contract first."

The concise words were filled with irrefutable pressure. The wise man sitting opposite took a deep breath.

"Do you remember the car accident?"

"Ah."

Shanna slowly lowered her eyes. She remembered that incident clearly. Looking at Xianren lying unconscious on the hospital bed, she had been worried about him. She was worried that she would lose Xianren and didn't know what to do in the future.

If Xianren remained unconscious like this, what could she do? She would be in constant turmoil and torture, and unable to sleep well at night.

“She hired some famous doctors in the industry to save me.”

"So, you're with her just to repay her?"

"That's partly why. It was her father who allowed me to be with her daughter. I've been thinking about it and I don't know how to handle my relationship with Xiaochun. Perhaps getting married can be considered a way of thanking her."

Looking at the silent moment, Xianren recalled his thoughts at that time, and then looked at the girl in front of him.

"I had originally thought that after marrying Xiaochun, I would talk to her one day and temporarily end our marriage, and then marry you."

"...That's impossible, right? That girl named Feng Xiaochun would definitely not agree."

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang, and Xianren glanced towards the door and knew who had arrived.

Under Setsuna's gaze, she walked to the door and opened it. Under Setsuna's gaze, the 'protagonist' she had just mentioned appeared in front of her, and slowly walked into the house, facing Setsuna, and sat down.

"If it was the wise man who asked, I would agree, because I can do everything for him. If you think it's impossible, it's just that your love for him is not deep enough."

When he saw Feng Xiaochun again and recalled their last meeting, Shanna couldn't help but purse his lips.

"I told you about the matter with the virtuous man, just to make the woman who left the virtuous man leave him as soon as possible."

Feng Xiaochun, who always responds to requests from wise men, appears very cold when facing Shan Na. He does not have any concerns at all, and what he says is also merciless, which makes Shan Na frown.

Xianren closed the door and returned to the living room. He looked at Xiaochun beside him, raised his hand in front of her, and signaled her not to speak for the time being.

"She's been listening to our conversation the whole time?"

After a moment's silence, Setsuna looked at Xianren, a little bit unbelievable.

"Well, it's probably a bug."

"..."

Shanshan was a little confused and sat silently in the room, looking at the calm Xianren, then looking at Feng Xiaochun who was sitting next to him, thinking about what the other party had just said, which seemed to question her feelings for Xianren.

"Are you saying that my feelings for Xianren are not as strong as yours, so I chose to go abroad?"

Feng Xiaochun did not give any answer, but just looked at her calmly.

The room was quiet.

He closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then slowly stood up.

"I will reconsider going abroad."

She looked directly at Feng Xiaochun who was standing beside Xianren. She pursed her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but kept it in her heart. She silently walked towards the door, wanting to leave, but Xianren, who had stood up, grabbed her hand...

Got stood down.

Sitting alone in the private school, Sekai Saionji found that Setsuna was not there today, and felt a little complicated for a moment.

"She didn't tell me, and I don't know what happened to her today. She didn't reply to my text messages."

Mitsuha has also left Tokyo and returned to Itomori. The next time they meet will probably be New Year or next year. There are no other good friends in the private school. After a moment of silence, Saionji Sekai's gaze couldn't help but fall on a girl not far away.

"I remember she was Kento's classmate? It seems she still has a crush on Kento..."

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and Xiyuanji World came slowly behind the other person, looking at the question he was working on -

"..."

The overly simple question made Saionji Sekai silent.

"Ok?"

Realizing that there seemed to be someone behind her, the girl turned around and saw Saionji Sekai with a look of surprise and astonishment on her face.

Looking back at the questions she had done, she blushed, but tried her best to remain restrained.

"What's matter?"

"No, I just saw you were working on your homework. Isn't it your break time now? I wanted to come up and say hello."

"You're a student at Sakakino Academy, right?"

"Well, I remember you are Toyonosaki, and you are a classmate of Kento, right?"

"...You and Xianren...your classmate, his girlfriend, seem to be on good terms?"

Nakano Satsuki was silent for a moment, feeling that it was not appropriate to use such an intimate name.

So, after addressing him as "sage", he added "classmate" to show the distance between them, and then looked at the smiling girl in front of him.

Seeing the other party asking about himself and Setsuna, Saionji Sekai felt that things seemed to have become interesting all of a sudden. Prepared to investigate the "enemy situation" for Setsuna, he smiled and nodded, acknowledging it.

"Yes, we grew up together, have known each other since elementary school, and are somewhat related."
