I won't be a loser.

Four banknotes, one five thousand yen and three one thousand yen notes, were sandwiched between the reply letter. As soon as they were taken out, they fell into the hands of the wise man.

After reading the reply, I found that the general content was that the article was accepted and the weekly magazine was sent to me when it was published. I hope that he can submit high-quality content to the other party's magazine next time. That's all.

“It’s nice to be adopted, but it’s too rare.”

He remembered that when his work was first accepted, he received a fee of 10,000 yen. But now it was only 8,000 yen?

"Is it because the time is different and the price is lower now? Or is it simply because I'm a newcomer?"

He silently put 8,000 yen into his wallet. No matter what the situation was, at least his living expenses were not so tight. But sorry, he probably wouldn't give it to the other party again.

"Let's talk things over with Miss Wu as soon as possible, and then improve what I wrote before and submit it to those adult publishing houses. The money I can make will at least be more than these small articles."

Compared with short articles that require careful creation, it is much easier for Xianren to write short stories for adults. It can be said that he writes like a god.

When he was dating Sayuri, she taught him a lot of positions that he didn't know at all. When Kento was shocked and doubtful for a while, he learned from Sayuri that she had only seen them in Eriri's comics and had never had the chance to try them.

She was at the age of being as energetic as a wolf and tiger, and after meeting the wise man, she immediately vented her emotions. All the special skills that she had memorized in her mind were suddenly unsealed and applied to the wise man.

During that time, he was a young man, only twenty years old, and he felt weak when he walked.

It was precisely because of this that he accumulated a lot of rich experience, which he invested in his later writing. Therefore, every time he wrote these plots and works, he felt it was quite simple, and he could easily handle it no matter what the subject matter was.

For example, in themes about high school girls, Sayuri has worn clothes that Eriri doesn't wear more than once.

As for roles like young and gentle wives, she is even more adept at them.

When Eriri is not at home, she even asks Kento to pretend to be the postman, and then after opening the door... ahem.

Recalling those memories, Xianren coughed and felt that it was not a good idea to continue recalling them, so he casually put the magazine in front of him aside, took out the manuscript paper and pen from his drawer again, and began to prepare to write his new work.

However, this time he is not going to continue writing about those memories related to Sayuri. He plans to write some light content to test the waters first.

When the doorbell rang, Xianren was sitting at his desk thinking. He suddenly felt that light topics did not seem suitable for him. After writing a few hundred words at the beginning, he hit a bottleneck and didn't know how to continue writing.

He couldn't help but want to write something with a heavier taste, but when he thought about the topic he had decided on this time, he put his pen down helplessly and fell into deep thought for a long time.

When he heard the doorbell, he came back to his senses, looked down at his manuscript paper, silently tidied it up, put it back in his drawer, and slowly walked towards the entrance.

When the door was opened, the people standing at the door included Setsuna, Sekai Saionji, who he saw almost every morning, and Katsura Kotonoha, who was also standing aside. The three of them appeared at the door of his apartment.

"That's surprising. I thought it was just Setsuna... Is there something wrong?"

"I have a lot of time after school and I don't know what to do, so I decided to visit Xianren. Is that okay?"

Looking at the people standing in the front, that is, in front of him, there was nothing particularly important, so the wise man nodded in agreement and let the three people into his house.

"Well, excuse me."

When Sekai Saionji saw that Xianren agreed, she smiled and entered Xianren's room.

As for Katsura Yanye, she followed behind the two of them shyly. When passing by Xianren, she politely bowed and greeted him before following him into the house.

Okay, I added more.

Cherry Blossom Season: 66. Big or small?

He poured tea and handed it to the three girls. However, the wise man did not sit with them. Instead, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the clear sky outside, silently pulled open the gauze curtain, and opened the window a little.

He looked back at the three girls sitting in the room. Just as Xianren was considering whether he should step away a little, Setsuna gently patted the seat next to her, motioning Xianren to sit next to her.

After looking at Setsuna, and then at Katsura Kotonoha and Saionji Sekai who didn't seem to mind, Kento came to Setsuna and sat down next to his girlfriend.

With her head lowered, Katsura Kotonoha's eyes slightly shifted to Saionji Sekai beside her. She found that the girl's expression was natural, and she did not react in any way to the intimate behavior of Setsuna and Kento. Katsura Kotonoha was a little confused, and in a moment her eyes looked at Kento on the other side of her.

I don’t know why this boy has won the hearts of two new friends I met in high school.

Her eyes fell on Xianren, but she noticed that the boy next to her also moved his eyes slightly, as if he noticed something, and looked towards her. Their eyes met, and Gui Yanye's face suddenly turned red. She was caught peeping and her heart was filled with shame.

Noticing that Katsura Kotonoha was observing him, Xianren was also a little surprised, but when he looked at the girl, he found that she suddenly lowered her head because of shyness, so he withdrew his gaze.

Sekai Saionji, who was sitting opposite the wise man, lowered her head to look at the teacup in front of her, but she was always paying attention to the reactions of everyone in the room out of the corner of her eyes.

As for the 'little interaction' between Kento and Katsura Kotonoha, it also caught the eyes of Saionji Sekai. She glanced at Setsuna quietly and found that the girl was drinking tea silently and didn't seem to care much. But when she felt that the atmosphere became a little subtle, she was the first to speak and break the silence.

"It seems that my visit today was a bit sudden. I don't know if it disturbed Miyamizu-kun. I'm really sorry."

Just as he was wondering whether he should find an excuse to leave for a while because of his presence affecting the girls' normal communication, Saionji Sekai, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly spoke, which made Xianren gradually come back to his senses from his thoughts. He looked at the girl's apologetic expression and shook his head.

"Of course not. I believe you can see that I don't have any entertainment here. I didn't know what to do when you came. It made my quiet room a little more lively."

"Do something?"

Saionji Sekai's eyes wandered for a moment, and her gaze suddenly fell on Setsuna. She lowered her head to look at the plumpness in front of her, but no wise man came to do anything to her. She was silent for a moment, and her heart was suddenly filled with frustration, and she fell into autism.

The sudden silence, as if the Saionji world had been making dirty jokes before the silence, made Xianren a little confused for a moment. He looked at the girl for a moment, then looked at Setsuna beside him, wondering if his girlfriend knew something.

However, Setsuna just sipped the tea in the cup gently with an expression of complete indifference, which made Xianren helpless. He thought that with Saionji Sekai's personality, she would not be depressed for too long, so she just didn't care.

His eyes fell on Gui Yanye and he asked her questions.

"Teacher Gui should have a younger sister at home, right?"

"Eh, um, I have a 10-year-old sister named Guixin. Is there any...problem?"

Not knowing why Qingura Setsuna's boyfriend suddenly turned the topic to herself, Katsura Yanye answered truthfully, looking at Kento beside her with confusion.

"Is she home alone?"

"No, Mom is away for a while and doesn't have much work, so she's taking care of my sister. It seems we're planning to go to the Ocean Amusement Park together today."

There was a moment of silence. After Gui Yanye finished her answer, the other three people sitting in the living room all remained silent.

Saionji Sekai also turned around, blinked and glanced at Katsura Kotonoha, her eyes fell on Kento, she couldn't help but chuckle, and began to shift the topic back to Kento.

"Miyamizu-kun, you suddenly asked about Kotonoha's sister. Are you interested in her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shanna's gaze fell on Saionji Sekai. Although he knew in his heart that Saionji Sekai was just joking, he still felt a little unhappy. He turned his gaze to Xianren, waiting for his answer.

"Hmm? A little bit, I guess. At 10 years old, she's four years older than Yotsuba. I wonder if Yotsuba could become friends with Katsura-san's sister if she came to Tokyo. I'm a little curious about that."

"Uh."

Saionji Sekai was speechless. For a moment, she did not expect that Xianren would be thinking about his sister.

"friend......."

After hearing what Xianren said, Gui Yanye was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Xianren would consider this issue. However, she thought about her sister's natural and cheerful personality, which was different from hers.

"We should be good friends, right?"

"That would be great."

The topic gradually opened up. When talking about younger sisters, Saionji Sekai also began to express her wish to have a younger sister, and led the topic to Setsuna, feeling that Setsuna was very much like her sister.

Setsuna didn't take this seriously. He just stared at the Saionji World with a calm gaze for a while and then gave a negative answer.

"I don't want a sister like this in the world."

"Wow——"

Saionji Sekai covered her plump chest with a painful expression on her face. Xianren's attention could not help but be attracted by the size of her hands that were barely covering it. He took a look and noticed Setsuna's gaze on the side, who was also looking at him. He silently withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to look at the teacup in front of him. His face was reflected in the clear tea.

Although he also wanted to control his vision, things in this regard were not completely under his rational control.

By the time I realized that I shouldn't have looked, several seconds had already passed, and there was nothing I could do about these few seconds. Unless I had been mentally prepared, it was just a subconscious instinct.

Xianren looked at the teacup and no longer looked at Xiyuanji World. As for Shanta, who was standing beside him, seeing that Xianren was no longer looking at Xiyuanji World, he slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and looked in front of him. After a moment of silence, he turned his head to look at Xiyuanji World, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.

"As expected, you still like big ones?"

Even though Xianren had told her that he didn't care about these things and asked her not to take them too seriously, judging from Xianren's instinctive reaction, he didn't seem to care that much.

Her gaze fell on Sekai Saionji and Kotonoha Katsura. Looking at the two people who were better developed than her, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Speaking of which, how is your homework on weekdays? Is it a lot?"

Suddenly raising his head, Xianren's gaze fell on the three girls and he asked them about their schoolwork. Generally speaking, normal people would not talk about this after school, but Xianren was not a normal person.

The moment the words were spoken, Saionji Sekai's expression was subtle. She looked at Kento and it seemed that she had not expected him to bring up such a topic for a moment. When she was in school, just studying was already very tiring, and she didn't expect that they would talk about this after school.

However, since the person who asked the question was a wise man, Saionji Sekai did not just give it a perfunctory answer. He thought about it carefully and gave a not very accurate answer.

"It's okay. Although I do have some homework, I can usually finish it before going to bed every day. Maybe it's because the school has just started, so there's not a lot of homework."

Sakakino Academy is not a school with low deviation values. Most of the students in Sakakino Academy aim to go on to higher education. For example, Katsura Kotonoha entered Sakakino Academy because of her goal of going on to higher education.

Just looking at the deviation value, Sakakino Academy is even slightly higher than Toyonosaki Academy.

"Does Miyamizu-kun have a lot of schoolwork?"

"Not a lot, just a little curious, huh."

If possible, Xianren would really like someone to tutor him in his studies. Even when he was in school, he had studied very hard and had recalled most of the knowledge and memories, but it was still far from enough to aim for Waseda University.

I don’t have enough living expenses to go to a private school now, so I have to wait for a while. After I have enough living expenses... I still have to ask Qingpu Mai for help first.

The wise man fell into silence all of a sudden, as if he was thinking seriously about something. Saionji Sekai was also speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Because of the presence of the boy Xianren, some overly private topics were not convenient to talk about, so the group started chatting again about the topic they had just learned. It was at this time that Xianren learned that Setsuna was the class representative of the student union at school.

About an hour passed, Gui Yanye looked at the clear sky outside the window and suddenly stood up.

"Well, it's almost time for me to go home. Can I leave first?"

Seeing Katsura Kotonoha suddenly standing up, Saionji Sekai thought that the girl was anxious about something, so she nodded, glanced at Setsuna beside her, and also stood up.

"Well, it's almost time. Since Yanye is leaving, I should go home early as well so as not to disturb you two from being alone together."

With a smile, Sekai Saionji said goodbye to Setsuna and Kento, and walked towards the door with Kotonoha.

"Then let's go to school together tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

Setsuna responded and watched as Saionji Sekai's figure disappeared into the apartment. The door was closed, and there were only two people left in the room. Setsuna looked at Xianren who was standing beside him.

"Sage, I just saw the world."

"........Um?"

"chest."

"Ah, that seems to be the case."

After Saionji Sekai left, only the two of them were left in the room. Setsuna could no longer bear it, and a look of loss flashed in his clear eyes.

"Sure enough, Xianren still prefers bigger ones?"

Speechless for a moment, looking at the depressed girl beside him, Xianren couldn't help but reach out and gently rub his forehead, thinking about how to comfort the girl beside him. After a moment of silence, he gave an affirmative answer.

"I like her, but I don't just like the big one. I like Setsuna too. When I saw Saionji before, it was just because of the novelty of the moment, driven by instinct. It's like seeing a cute cat or a cute dog. They belong to the same category. It doesn't mean I have any feelings about Saionji."

"Sorry, Xianren, mine is... not big."

Setsuna lowered his head, and his lost tone gave Xianren a headache for a moment.

Looking at the girl beside him, Xianren stood up and walked directly to Setsuna's side. He stretched out his hands and pressed Setsuna to the ground, looking at Setsuna under him.

Looking down at the stunned girl beneath him, the wise man stared into her eyes.

"But my girlfriend is you, Setsuna."

"Wen, Ren..."

Out of consideration for Setsuna's body, Xianren didn't do anything to Setsuna. He just told Setsuna to stop thinking about it and then loosened his arms. However, Setsuna suddenly wrapped herself around Xianren and hugged him tightly with both hands, making it difficult for Xianren to move for a while.

After calming the girl, Xianren started talking about dinner, which allowed Setsuna to release her arms and Xianren to regain his freedom.

"I'm going to prepare dinner. Setsuna, please rest in the living room."

"I can help."

"No, I'm just preparing some simple dishes tonight."

Letting Setsuna stay in the living room, Xianren went to the refrigerator, looked at the remaining ingredients, and began to prepare dinner. As for Setsuna, he looked at Xianren who started to get busy, and sat quietly in the living room, watching Xianren busy, his eyes full of love.

When you like someone, you feel full of joy just by looking at him or her.

Xianren noticed Setsuna's gaze, but didn't pay it any mind as he quietly prepared dinner.

Just like last time, he didn't just prepare dinner for himself and Setsuna, he also prepared one specifically for Qingura Mai, so that if she came back, they could have dinner together.
