I won't be a loser.

"Ah...the person from the cafe last time."

A cherry-haired girl with a bun hairstyle, holding a rope in her hand, a long body, short legs, and a black dachshund slowly walked in front of Xianren, stopped, raised her head, and stared at Xianren without saying a word.

The girl followed her pet to the wise man and in an instant she remembered where she had seen him. What happened in the cafe that day must be something she would never forget in her life.

"You... aren't actually blind, are you?"

Looking at the wise man in front of her who was looking at her, the girl was still a little unsure and began to ask.

In response, Xianren simply lowered her gaze silently and looked at her pet dog.

The man and the dog looked at each other for a while, and then Xianren closed his eyes. He lost interest in the dachshund. He never liked dogs very much. Only young Pomeranians and Corgis could interest him a little.

"I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer me?"

Xianren looked away and did not answer the girl's question. Yuigahama Yui could not help but move closer to him and asked him while looking directly into his face.

"Ok?"

As if suddenly waking up, the wise man looked at the girl in front of him, still as if he knew nothing.

"Forget it... What a weird guy, let's go."

He pulled the leash in his hand, ready to let the pet leave with him, but the dachshund was a little rebellious at the moment. Even with the leash on, it still sat opposite the sage, with no intention of leaving at all.

"..."

Yuigahama Yui, who had tried several times without success, felt helpless. She stared at her pet dog, not knowing how long she would look at this person. After thinking for a while, she walked to the bench where Xianren was sitting and sat down.

"Your ears, are you really deaf?"

In response to this, Kento did not react at all, just like a wooden man's reaction, which made Yuigahama Yui unhappy. But there was nothing she could do. Kento did not speak, and she could not force him to speak. So she just sat on the same bench, picked up her mobile phone, and started browsing the interesting content on the Internet, just to kill time and to be able to talk about some interesting topics when she met her friends.

From time to time, there were some cheerful laughs, which made the wise man sitting there sigh.

A light sigh reminded Yuigahama Yui, who was looking at her phone, that there was someone sitting next to her. It seemed a little inappropriate for her to be looking at her phone and laughing alone.

"Oh, sorry... I didn't laugh very loudly, did I?"

Xianren, who was basking in the sun, rubbed his forehead. It was afternoon and the sun had already set a little. The temperature was not as high as he had imagined. Facing the girl beside him, Xianren stood up and walked towards his home the same way he came in the dusk, leaving Yuigahama Yui looking at Xianren's back, feeling that he was not a normal person.

'Is he alright?'

Chiba New Story: 439. 18 Jump Ships

In July, the students all went on vacation. Miyamizu Mitsuha, who was resting at home, called Kento from time to time, asking him if he wanted to go back to Itomori or to go to Chiba. Kento was annoyed by the questions and had no choice but to deal with it. He asked the three remaining people in his family whether they wanted to go back to Tokyo with him and relax on the beach near Tokyo.

Faced with the request of the wise man, Himeno Ikera, Fujiwara Momoka, and Kousaka Iori had different feelings, but they all felt that there was no reason to refuse, so they all agreed. Then they called Maruno Ningning and asked her what she thought.

"Is that okay? Can I come too?"

Faced with this question from Yuanye Ningning, it seemed like Xianren had no problem at all and agreed immediately. Then he decided on the beach to go to. The beaches near Tokyo were not that good. If he wanted a more crowded and relatively larger beach, it would be better to go to Kanagawa.

"I've rented a big villa in Okinawa. Would you like to come with me, Xianren?"

A text message suddenly came to his mobile phone. Looking at the message from Feng Xiaochun, Xianren, who was still hesitating about going to the beach, fell into silence. He was stunned by his wife's boldness. After thinking for a moment, he just gave the answer of "OK".

Then she looked at the three people in her hall. Feng Xiaochun called her in the evening and asked her about it. She immediately got a positive answer.

"It doesn't matter if there are a few more people, right?"

"It's okay. There's a villa next door. Even if there are a lot of people, there's a place to rest. I can also rent the other villa."

It is touching that the wise man sitting in the bedroom closed his eyes and sighed softly for such an understanding wife, and then he started thinking about someone he could go on vacation to Okinawa with.

"Mitsuha must go. Himeno, Fujiwara, Kousaka, and Enno, that's already five people. Add Koharu and I, that's seven. Futaba can also go, that's eight places. Elliot and Naruto..."

Xianren was a little conflicted in his heart, not knowing whether he should let the two of them go to Okinawa together, but he was also worried that if his daughter Elliot knew about his own affairs, things would be extremely embarrassing.

Xianren was standing in the house thinking. After thinking for a while, he decided to ask Fujiwa Nunu what she thought and explain the general situation to her. If she didn't mind, Xianren would think about it seriously.

Not long after she finished her phone call with Feng Xiaochun, she called Teng He Nu Nu, described the trip to Okinawa, and asked for her opinion. Teng He Nu Nu gave a one-word answer.

"go."

"There are a lot of people, like Mitsuha, Koharu, and some of my staff. There are about eight of us. Are you sure?"

"go."

"Well, I understand. Then during this time, you should make some preparations first."

The simple and clear answer told Xianren that she was willing to go to Okinawa. Xianren, who was sitting in his room, put his hand on his heart, was silent for a moment, and then called Futaba Rio.

When she first mentioned going to Okinawa, her reaction was very calm, but when she talked about going with other people, including Feng Xiaochun, Teng and Nunu, she immediately agreed and said that she was just planning to go to Okinawa to relax.

"..."

Afterwards, he thought of Kiyoura Setsuna and Kento of Saionji Sekai, and tried to make a phone call to ask them about their ideas. Saionji Sekai agreed immediately, and Kiyoura Setsuna hesitated for a moment and also agreed.

Wow.

The wise man seemed to have seen a bright red feast, and felt that they had already arrived here, so he simply asked the rest of the people all at once. People like Ogiwara Sayu and Mito Yuka were ready to refuse at first, but agreed after being invited by the wise man.

The others were Kiyoura Mai and Saionji Yuko. They were reluctant to go at first, but when they learned that their daughters were willing to go, and that it was Kento who took the initiative to ask them, they agreed.

The brain is trembling.

Then he called Eriri Sawamura and told her that he was going to Okinawa for vacation. When she asked if she wanted to go with him, the girl was about to act tsundere, but when she thought of her situation, she agreed immediately. Then she started talking to her about Sayuri Sawamura.

"Are you inviting me or my mother?"

"All."

The blonde girl gritted her teeth, but was helpless.

"There are quite a lot of people going to Okinawa this time, so you should be mentally prepared."

"what?"

There are already eighteen people, and the wise man is already thinking about how much weight each person will get if he is divided into 18 equal parts?

"No, four of them are irrelevant, which means there are 4 people. If you include Sanye, we have to exclude her, which means there are 14 people. Hmm... the family members still have to get a share, which means 13 people. As for the others... should we invite someone else to make it 14 people?"

The images of the Nakano sisters appeared in his mind, and then he couldn't help but cover his abdomen. A phantom pain made him extinguish the idea in an instant.

Once the Nakano sisters travel, there will be five of them together. If there are 23 people, that would still be too many. After thinking about it, she gave up the idea. Besides, 18 people were already too many, so she didn't invite anyone else. It was like this until the next day, when Xianren returned to Tokyo and met Xiaochun. They talked about the trip. Feng Xiaochun was a little surprised to learn that Xianren had invited so many people, and she rented an adjacent villa.

18 people can be considered a tour group.

After spending a day with Feng Xiaochun, he went to meet with other people and talked about going to Okinawa. On the weekend of the first week of July, the group gathered at Narita Airport.

"Isn't this a bit too crowded?"

At Narita Airport, after a night of anxiety, Eriri Sawamura arrived at the airport early. After waiting for a while, she saw Kento and a group of people beside him dragging suitcases. She looked at the person beside him, and when she saw herself sitting next to her, her face suddenly became gloomy.

"There are 18 of us in total, which isn't a lot. Do you want to go back?"

"...Tsk."

Eriri Sawamura stared at the wise man in front of her, then turned to look at her mother who was already chatting with Kiyoura Mai. She turned her head away and said nothing more.

There were 18 people traveling together, and most of them were women. Xianren was the only man in the group, which really attracted people's attention. Until they boarded the plane and sat down, Feng Xiaochun sat quietly beside Xianren. Facing the gazes of others from time to time, she looked indifferent.

"Very bold, sage."

"It was indeed a bit too bold. Now when I think about what I did, I still can't believe that I actually did such a thing."

Leaning back in his seat, he glanced sideways at his wife, then slightly tilted his head to look at Elliot who was sitting in the next seat. He raised his hand and gestured to Elliot with a smile. The daughter glanced at her mother, then lowered her head sullenly, not looking very happy, and did not react at all to Xianren's actions.

Broken and hated.

Fujiwa Nunu, on the other hand, smiled at Xianren, but the smile was a bit perfunctory and formal. She couldn't help but sigh and glanced at the others. They were either smiling, silent, or turning their heads away.

"What is the relationship between Mrs. Sawamura and Kento?"

For example, Yuko Saionji, Mai Kiyoura and Sayuri Sawamura were not sitting together, but they were very close to each other, so they could be considered to be sitting next to each other, especially Mai Kiyoura and Sayuri Sawamura, who were separated by an aisle.

"Eh? My relationship with Miyamizu-kun?"

Thinking of the flowers the other party gave her, Sayuri Sawamura's expression was a little subtle. After hesitating for a moment, she still answered with a smile.

"It's not a special relationship, but he and my daughter have a good relationship. I remember that your daughter is dating...Miyamizu-kun?"

"..."

Seeing the girl sitting next to Xianren, and then looking at her own daughter beside her, Qingpu Mai felt a little embarrassed. Then there was a moment of silence, and she sighed without answering the question.

But for Sayuri Sawamura, such a subtle reaction and attitude could be regarded as an answer. She also couldn't help but look at her daughter. For a moment, her mood became subtle and indescribable. Looking at the girls who were sitting on this flight and had just boarded the plane together, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

Ogiwara Sayu and Mito Yuka sat together. Looking at the many people around them, Ogiwara Sayu couldn't help but sigh. She stretched out her finger and gently poked Mito Yuka's shoulder.

"Aren't there too many people? I counted, and including the two of us, there are already 18 of them. That little girl among them... maybe it's my imagination... doesn't she look a bit like a wise man?"

"...She must be the daughter of a wise man."

Mito Yuka was also reluctant to admit it, but the current situation seemed like... an indescribable scene. Mito Yuka felt subtly heavy. She originally thought that it would be just her and Ogiwara Sayu, but she didn't expect that there would be so many people now.

Her head suddenly started to hurt, and she felt more confused about the future. The current situation was completely beyond her expectations.

Even Hime Igen and others who were sitting together were a little confused about what to do with the atmosphere around them at the moment. They couldn't help but look at Fujiwara Momoka beside them, and found that Fujiwara Momoka had already let her mind go blank, and no one knew where her mind was wandering.

"..."

Saionji Sekai and Saionji Oniko, mother and daughter, watched those people whispering without much reaction. But after the plane took off for a while, Saionji Oniko couldn't help but ask her daughter something.

"You're not pregnant, are you?"

"No, why are you asking this? No, I will not get pregnant with his child at this time."

"It would be better not to get pregnant with his child in the future. It's best to keep your distance from him when you go back. There are so many people around now. If you stay with him, you don't know when it will be your turn."

"...I'm not... Never mind, I understand."

She wanted to answer her mother, as she was not Setsuna and had such deep feelings for Kento, but when she thought about her trip to Chiba to see him, she fell silent.

Sawamura Eriri turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, biting her lips tightly, and her whole body exuded an "unpleasant" atmosphere.

Futaba Rio was sitting with Mitsuha. Facing the intellectual Futaba Rio, Mitsuha seemed a little dazed. From the moment she got on the plane, she looked daydreaming. Even when the plane took off, she had no communication with Futaba Rio.

With everyone having different ideas, the journey from Tokyo to Okinawa lasted about three hours. Most people did not have happy expressions on their faces. Even after getting off the plane, a few people were already considering whether they should fly back to Tokyo first.

A bus stopped outside the airport. Led by Feng Xiaochun and Xianren, the group got on the bus and then drove towards the so-called villa.

About an hour later, the group arrived at the villa on Koudachi Island in Okinawa, which was located near the seaside. When they got off the bus and looked at the vast blue sea and the golden beach, their mood suddenly became brighter.

The original depression in their hearts was washed away by the beautiful scenery, and the group moved into the villa one after another. However, when choosing a residence, everyone seemed very reserved. It was Sayuri Sawamura, Yuko Saionji, and Mai Kiyoura who chose one of the villas first, and then the others began to make their choices.

Fujiwa and Ninju also followed Sawamura and the other two and chose to live in a villa. Others like Yuanye Ningning and others, seeing the others' "covetous" looks, followed these people and moved into the "adults'" villa together.

"Both villas have five rooms each, and each room can accommodate 2-3 people. So there's still one room left?"

Mito Yuuka raised her hand, and Ogiwara Sayu moved into the "adult's" villa with her. The rest of the people all moved into another residence, but there were only eight people in total.

It seemed like Elio wanted to live with her mother, but after being coaxed by Fuji and Nvnu, she stood next to Xianren, immediately attracting the attention of the young girls. They all stared at the young and cute Elio, and Xianren next to her, with subtle eyes.

Chiba New Story: 440. Bringing multiple lines together into one!

There are already 10 people living in one villa, so the remaining 8 people live in another villa, including Kento, Mitsuha, and Elio. The other five people are his wife Feng Xiaochun, his former and current girlfriend Kiyoura Setsuna, the intrusive Saionji Sekai, the cold-faced Futaba Rio, and the blonde Sawamura Eriri who stares at Kento without saying a word.

Young Elio wanted to live with his mother, but after Elio whispered in his ear for a while, he quietly came to Xianren's side, grabbed the corners of Xianren's white linen shirt with both hands, and stood behind Xianren as obediently as a little rabbit, attracting the attention of others to fall on Xianren. They all stared at Xianren, waiting for an explanation.

People who knew about this matter all looked relatively indifferent, but among those who didn't know, someone like Eriri Sawamura seemed particularly concerned.

She seemed to want to pretend that she didn't care at all, but her eyes kept looking at Xianren, and then at the girl hiding behind him. Her face could not be seen, but her white and slender legs could be seen. He couldn't help squinting his eyes and biting his lips, with a look of concern and conflict on his face.

"It's a bit sunny here. Let's go in first. Put your luggage away and get familiar with the surroundings. We're going to spend a week here, and it wouldn't be appropriate if we didn't get familiar with the surroundings."

Facing the gazes directed at him, Xianren himself seemed a little uncomfortable, but he had already prepared himself mentally. As he was still in a 'safe' state for the time being, he did not seem panicked. He turned his head to look at Elio who was hiding behind him, stretched out his hand, held the pair of tender little hands, and walked towards the villa in front of them. The others looked at each other in silence and followed Xianren into the villa.

The keys had already been handed to them when they were picked up by the bus, so there was no need to wait at the door. The wise man with the keys in his hand opened the door of the villa.

The simple decoration style made the group of people who entered the living room feel that the entire space seemed extremely spacious. The girls carrying suitcases looked at each other and discussed the room they would live in. Kiyoura Setsuna and Saionji Sekai stood together, while Feng Xiaochun looked at her husband and Elio, who was holding his hand, and then silently looked at her sister Miyamizu Mitsuha.

Originally, Mitsuha Miyamizu wanted to live with Kiyoura Setsuna, but when she saw Kiyoura Setsuna and Saionji Sekai standing together, she was helplessly thinking about whether to ask her brother for help. When she met Feng Xiaochun's gaze, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and raised her finger to point at herself awkwardly.

"Ah."
