I won't be a loser.

"Aren't you going?"

Saionji Sekai watched Xianren come to the beach, sit down, open a bottle of Coke, and look at the sea with the ebb and flow of the tide, with a distant look in his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking. Unable to resist his curiosity, he came to his side, sat next to him and asked.

Almost everyone put on their prepared swimsuits. Those who were worried about catching a cold put on a thin shirt or sportswear. Saionji Sekai also put on a translucent jacket over her black swimsuit and sat next to him.

"After a busy day, I just want to take a break."

As for Saionji Sekai who came forward to ask, Xianren took a sip of Coke and stared at the sea. He did not turn his head to look at Saionji Sekai with a unique figure beside him. He was not very interested in the swimsuit.

"I didn't expect you to actually invite so many people. Aren't you worried that someone might break into your room one night and stab you while you're on vacation?"

Raising her snow-white right hand, Saionji Sekai clenched it as if holding a blade, and gently swung her hand up and down, making a stabbing gesture.

"How do you know that I'm not looking forward to that scene happening?"

"As long as I'm with Setsuna, my life can go on peacefully. Why do I have to get entangled with so many women?"

"Maybe I was too empty. When I saw the woman who was close to me and had feelings for me, I couldn't help but wonder what the ending would be like for the two of us. But there were too many people around me, and I couldn't bear to give up on any of them. In the end, we ended up in this situation. I didn't expect it to become..."

In response to Saionji Sekai's question, Xianren gave his own answer.

"Is it really just that?"

"That's not it. What other answer do you want? Do you want me to shamelessly reply, 'It's all this damned Wenrou'? Or maybe... not everyone can honestly admit their mistakes. Even if they know it deep down, knowing it and admitting it are not the same difficulty."

Saionji Sekai thought that Kento would be a little more stubborn, but considering his character, it was not strange that he was admitting his mistake in a tactful way as he did now.

"You want people to give up because they realize the difficulty?"

"I used 'responsibility' as my excuse, but now I can only resort to this 'irresponsible' approach."

If only there were cigarettes, now if there were cigarettes, the wise man would definitely take a big puff without hesitation to dispel his inner melancholy.

After getting a rough answer, Saionji Sekai was just about to continue asking when he heard footsteps behind him. The sound of slippers stepping on the sand was still clear on this not-so-quiet beach. The footsteps came closer little by little and stopped beside the two of them.

"Barbecue."

The two looked back and saw a girl in a black dress and swimsuit slowly coming up behind them. She was holding a plate with some hot meat and some vegetables on it.

"I'll leave this to you. I'll go over there and take a look."

Seeing the people coming, Saionji Sekai slowly stood up, gently patted the sand behind her with her hands, smiled at the two of them, and walked towards the barbecue stall, while Kiyoura Setsuna looked at Xianren.

The wise man, holding a can of Coke, faced the girl who was looking at him, was silent for a moment, reached out to take the barbecue from her hand, smiled and pointed to his side, where Saionji Sekai had just been sitting.

Qingpu Shanna's gaze fell on Xianren, then looked at the place he pointed, and sat down quietly.

"What did the world talk to you about just now?"

"We talked about some things about this party, and I felt that I seemed to have gone a little too far."

"..."

The girl sat down, placed her hands on her knees, her right hand clasped with her left hand, and looked down at her slender white wrist with a somewhat lonely look in her eyes. She had discovered that she and the wise man did not seem to have many common topics.

When I sat next to him in the past, I couldn't help but imagine our future together. My mother and I would live in a bungalow that we bought with our joint efforts, leading a peaceful and stable life. We could have a cute puppy, or if we didn't like puppies, we could have a kitten.

They went to work together during the day, and at night, the three of them sat together at the dining table, chatting about their respective lives, and then prepared together for having children in the future. When the children grew up, they would take care of them together...

The right hand holding the left hand began to tremble slightly. The girl lowered her head and couldn't help biting her lips. No matter how sour and painful her heart was, she must not shed tears at this moment!

"It's not that I'm a little excessive, but I'm really very sorry for what has happened so far. However, these are not things that can be forgiven with just an apology. Among all the people here... the only one I'm sorry to is you, Setsuna."

The girl lowered her head without any answer. She turned her head to look at the sea in front of her, and her eyes were a little confused and trance-like.

"I... should do something. I've been thinking about this all the time, but every time I think of you, I'm always afraid. The guilt in my heart makes it impossible for me to stand in front of you calmly. I don't know what to say to you."

He gently rubbed his forehead with the index finger of his left hand, turned his head to look at Qingpu Setsuna beside him again, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually drifted away.

"I'm sorry, I'm hypocritical, but... you..."

Qingpu Shanna, who was sitting on the side, listened to Xianren's words. She closed her eyes, opened them again, and looked at the person she loved, the painful and struggling eyes. She was a little dazed, but also relieved, and slowly stood up.

Turning his head to look at the wise man sitting on the beach, Qingpu Setsuna's eyes were slightly red, but there was a faint smile on his face. Facing the wise man looking at him, his body leaned forward slightly——

Saionji Sekai, who had been observing the situation on Xianren's side, looked a little puzzled when she saw the two overlapping figures. She turned her head to look at the other people around her and found that some people's eyes suddenly became evasive, and some people were staring at Xianren in a daze, their attention was completely attracted, and they seemed to be surprised.

As the mother of Kiyoura Setsuna, Kiyoura Mai faced the scene with helplessness on her face. Saionji Yuko looked at her daughter and found that her daughter was also looking at her.

'Don't.'

"I understand... roughly."

The moment their eyes met, they understood each other's intentions. Saionji Yuko didn't miss her daughter at all. She was as deeply trapped as Kiyoura Setsuna. Now that it has come to this, it seems that Kiyoura Mai has no other choice.

When Saionji Yuko's gaze fell on Kiyoura Mai, she could only feel sympathy for this old acquaintance of hers, a friend she had known from a long time ago.

As a relative of the wise man, Mitsuha Miyamizu was constantly observing the reactions of the other people present. She first looked at Feng Xiaochun and found that her brother's wife was grilling meat with a calm expression, so she felt a little relieved. Then she looked at Futaba Rio and found that she was frowning slightly. Then she looked at the helpless look on Kiyoura Mai's face, and the calm reactions of Saionji Yuko and Saionji Sekai, and her tense heart relaxed a little.

Fujiwa Ninju noticed what was happening there, so she took the initiative to block Elio's sight, then picked up the barbecue and began to divert her daughter's attention. As for Ogiwara Sayu and Mito Yuka, Mito Yuka didn't care much, but Ogiwara Sayu's eyes were wandering and she couldn't stop sighing.

"How daring."

Sayuri Sawamura sighed and her eyes fell on her daughter. Eriri Sawamura lowered her head silently, constantly turning over the green peppers that had been roasted to a golden brown, completely shriveled, and were trying to turn into "charcoal".

"Can't you express your attitude? It happened right in front of you, and you can still be so patient?"

Eriri Sawamura didn't care about her mother's provocation. The damage to her could be considered as ordinary attacks at most, not as great as the damage caused by Sayuri Sawamura's complete confession of her relationship with Kento.

People like Yuanye Ningning, who seemed a bit like outsiders, sat in the corner, looking at the subtle atmosphere on the field, and seemed a little silent for a while.

"I feel like we're a bit redundant. Is not participating in this the right choice?"

“No one knew it would develop like this, right?”

At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary vacation, but they didn't expect it to develop into a realistic ethical love drama. The four people sat in the corner in silence. Fujiwara Momoka wrote down the current scenes, feeling that she could write them into the plot of a new work later.

The oppressive silence didn't last long. After Qingpu Setsuna returned to the group, a few minutes passed and everyone seemed to have forgotten everything. They continued to grill and chat about their daily lives as normal...

After the barbecue, everyone cleaned up the beach and returned to their respective villas to prepare for a bath and rest.

While everyone else had entered the villa, Xianren was sitting alone on the beach, with no intention of going back to rest. Feng Xiaochun came to his side, looked at Xianren sitting on the beach, and asked a question that left Xianren silent.

"Want to divorce me?"

"Father and mother won't know about this. We can divorce secretly, and then you can marry her. In that case, you and her—"

"The stars in the sky are much brighter than in Tokyo. Do you know what constellation is over there?"

Raising her hand and pointing to the starry sky, Feng Xiaochun looked at the brilliant galaxy with a hint of surprise in her eyes. When she arrived in Okinawa, she actually didn't pay too much attention to the surrounding environment. Her eyes were always on Xianren and those people.

"lion."

"Well, speaking of which, you're from the astronomy club, so you know a lot about this."

After hearing Feng Xiaochun's accurate answer, the wise man raised his head and looked at the sky. He couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then he smiled softly.

"Do you like boys or girls?"

"Is the Xianren interested in girls?"

"Boys all like girls, right? But when I think about my daughter marrying someone else in the future, I can't help but feel a little heavy. I always hope that time will go slower, and I also hope that time can stop at a certain moment and not move forward. But life always has to move forward."

Faced with the wise man's sigh, Feng Xiaochun was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"I met with Ms. Fujiwa privately and talked to her about some things about Elliot."

Looking at the sage in the sky, his eyes changed, but he quickly calmed down. He kept a smile on his face and slowly looked at Feng Xiaochun beside him.

"Ok?"

"I want her to adopt Elio into our family."

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation tickets!

Chiba New Story: 444. Today, my heart aches, today, my hands tremble

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze fell on Feng Xiaochun. Xianren hoped that the other party was joking with him, but there was no smile on the girl's face. She was not joking, but really had such thoughts.

The smile on his face gradually became forced as time passed, and then gradually disappeared. He stared at the girl in front of him, lowered his head, looked at the fine sand on the beach, pointed his left index finger at the sand, gently drew a circle, then raised his head and his eyes fell on Feng Xiaochun.

He took a deep breath to adjust his mood, his lips tightly pursed around the tip of his tongue, his expression a little subtle for a moment. After spending some time to sort out his thoughts, Xianren still couldn't understand.

"why?"

"She's the daughter of Xianren, so I think she should live with Xianren. Miss Fujiwa has been taking care of the child alone, and she's been putting her own life on hold. I want to make it easier for her, and I also want Xianren to be closer to Elliot."

He pinched his eyebrows with his right hand, opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something in response to Feng Xiaochun's answer, but found that he was so short of words at the moment that he couldn't even think of any euphemistic words.

"Are you serious?"

He turned his head to look at Feng Xiaochun who was sitting next to him, his eyes fell on her. The sitting sage slowly stood up, looked around at the surrounding scenery, and couldn't help but raised his head and looked at the starry sky above his head. Then his eyes fell on Feng Xiaochun again and confirmed with her again.

"I just want to give Miss Fujiwa a choice, just like the choice Xianren gave them today."

"This is different."

The virtuous man took another deep breath, walked to Feng Xiaochun, slowly squatted down, looked at his wife with a delicate and lovely face in front of him, put his hands on her fair and slender shoulders, and looked straight into her eyes.

"Don't do this again."

"I understand."

Facing the sage's helpless and disappointed eyes, Feng Xiaochun was silent for a moment, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and then he nodded and agreed.

That faint smile made the hands of the virtuous man on her shoulders tremble slightly. After she agreed, he stretched out his hand in front of her, took the girl's hand, and pulled Feng Xiaochun up from the beach. The two of them returned to the villa together...

They took turns to enter the bathroom. Originally, Elio was supposed to sleep with Fuji and Ninja, but now she was assigned to Kento's place. Bathing was a bit troublesome. After the girls discussed it, they decided to let Mitsuha and Elio take a bath together, and Kento would be the last one to enter the bathroom.

Everyone else agreed with this decision. Xianren had no room for objection and nodded in agreement. When he and Feng Xiaochun entered the villa, only Qingpu Shuna and Xiyuanji Sekai had just come out of the bathroom in front of them, and the others were still waiting.

In order to reduce the waiting time for those behind, they decided to go into the bathroom together. After Kiyoura Setsuna and Saionji Sekai came out, Futaba Rio and Sawamura Eriri followed and entered the bathroom together. Mitsuha Miyamizu and Elio were sitting on the sofa, chatting, as if they were trying to enhance their relationship.

"Haven't you two gone into the bathroom yet?"

When Xianren entered the living room of the villa, he was a little surprised when he saw his sister and daughter sitting on the sofa instead of resting.

"Even if I'm done showering, it's so early, and I still have some time to rest in the afternoon. Even if you let me rest early, I'll just go back to my room and lie on the bed in a daze, right?"

"But Elio is still young and needs more rest."

Elio, who was sitting next to Sanye, rubbed his body against Sanye from time to time, and seemed to be very attached to his aunt.

"I... am not sleepy."

Young Elio raised his head, glanced at his father, and began to defend himself.

"look!"

After receiving Elio's answer, Sanye became excited and looked at Xianren proudly.

"Well, after you finish taking a shower, remember to go back and rest early."

Xianren walked to the refrigerator in the villa, opened it, took out a drink from it, and sat down at a table. Feng Xiaochun slowly went back upstairs along the stairs. Everyone was doing their own things. When Futaba Rio and Sawamura Eriri came out of the bathroom, Mitsuha also went into the bathroom holding her niece.

"Are you going to rest with Miss Fujiwa's daughter at night?"

"Elliot."

"I know her name, but I don't want to call her that."

"Don't you want to admit it?"

"It's not that I don't want to admit it, it's just... well, there's a little bit of a thought that I don't want to admit. Can you pour me a glass of wine?"

"Although there is beer, you are not old enough to drink yet, so you should wait a little longer."

Facing Futaba Rio who was sitting in front of him, Xianren just thought about her request for a drink and rejected it. He didn't want Futaba Rio to get drunk here, as it would be extremely troublesome to take care of her.

"Always serious when it's not necessary."

"Have it?"

Futaba Rio did not answer. She was not surprised that Kento did not allow her to drink. She stood up and walked towards the stairs and went back to her own room. The only person left in the living room was Kento. Sawamura Eriri was particularly quiet today and did not take the initiative to communicate with Kento. She came out of the bathroom and went straight back to her own room.

When Sanye and Elio came out of the bathroom and Xianren was about to enter the bathroom, Feng Xiaochun also came down from upstairs. When Xianren entered the bathroom, Feng Xiaochun followed him into the bathroom.

Originally, Xianren wanted to be a little more reserved, but when he thought about the fact that everyone here basically knew about Feng Xiaochun and his relationship, and even if he was being reserved, it was only for himself, he suddenly relaxed and went into the bathroom with Feng Xiaochun...

When he returned to his room at night and was about to rest, he found that Elio was not in his room. He was about to go to Sanye's room to take a look. Feng Xiaochun just came out of the room, walked in front of Xianren, stretched out his hand, held Xianren's wrist, and pulled him into his room.

"She has already fallen asleep with Sanye. Let them sleep together tonight."

The virtuous man wanted to say something, but seeing Feng Xiaochun had already pulled him into the room, he did not speak. He silently closed the door, and the two of them lay down to rest as usual...
