I won't be a loser.

"Hmm? Hmm? How do I…"

Feng Xiaochun, who was watching the world of Xiyuan Temple, added another sentence when she was about to make an excuse.

"I don't mind. Besides, we'll be back in three days. I probably won't have much time in those three days."

"..."

Saionji Sekai hesitated for a moment and then stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom!"

Feng Xiaochun seemed very indifferent to Saionji Sekai who hurriedly left the room. After the other party left the room for a while, he also walked out of the room and came to the door of Futaba Rio's room.

They were already lying on the bed, closing their eyes to rest, when Feng Xiaochun arrived. Futaba Rio couldn't help but push up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her eyes became sharp.

"What's matter?"

"There are two people in Xianren's room right now. Do you want to go?"

"I'm not as messy as you think."

"I want to rest here for a while."

Staring at Feng Xiaochun in front of her, Futaba Rio hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door and let her into her room.

"Don't you care at all?"

After letting Feng Xiaochun into her room, Futaba Rio couldn't help but ask questions. Feng Xiaochun, who entered her room, looked a little surprised, but then smiled softly.

"Once you start to care, you'll be hated by the wise. Your seemingly indifferent attitude is just a way of waiting for the day when I start to care, right?"

“But you still care.”

"Whoever cares will lose. I don't want to lose to other women who like Xianren in this matter, so I can't care. But after so long, I no longer care, because every time I see Xianren happy, I will be happy too."

Under Futaba Rio's gaze, Feng Xiaochun took off an earphone from his ear and handed it to Futaba Rio.

Frowning, looking at the earphones, Futaba Rio picked them up and put them close to her ears.

When she heard the voice in the headphones, her cheeks turned red instantly. She bit her lips and stared at the girl in front of her. Her body trembled slightly, and she was filled with intense shame and anger.

"You always do this kind of thing?"

"Have you been secretly watching him and others?"

"Are you a pervert?!"

- - - -

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

Chiba New Story: 447. Give her a little shock from her past life!

Futaba Rio always felt that she could not understand Feng Xiaochun's thoughts, but now she understood.

If it's 'abnormal', then everything can be explained.

Staring at the girl in front of her, Futaba Rio felt as if her entire head was aching. As a normal person, how could she be a match for the person in front of her!

Taking off the earphones from her ears and staring closely at the person in front of her, Futaba Rio felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, but also felt helpless. She originally thought that she could wait and wait for Xianren to leave this person, but now it seems like a very dangerous thing to do.

"Have you been doing this kind of thing before? Even Xianren and I... have already..."

"Yes."

Without any hesitation, he admitted it. Looking at Feng Xiaochun in front of him, Futaba Rio took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

"Hand it over."

"No."

"Do you think I would believe it?"

“Only recordings.”

"..."

"In Tokyo, at Xianren and I's apartment."

After receiving a rather bad answer, Futaba Rio stared at Feng Xiaochun in front of her.

"Are you trying to use this to threaten me to leave the wise man's side?"

"No, I simply wanted to preserve some memories related to the sage. It was indeed a little difficult to adapt to it at first, but as time passed, I adapted to this kind of life and actually gained a deeper understanding of the sage. Even you didn't notice it, did you?"

After taking his headphones from Futaba Rio's hands and putting them back on, Feng Xiaochun still looked very calm.

"It's also possible that he discovered this matter, but has never been willing to admit it."

Faced with the movement that made Futaba Rio shake, Feng Xiaochun was very calm and did not show any loss of composure. She walked silently in front of Futaba Rio. The height difference required her to raise her head slightly to meet Futaba Rio's eyes...

In the second half of the night, Xianren was lying on the bed alone, closing his eyes and preparing to rest, when he heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his head and saw that the person entering his room was Feng Xiaochun. He didn't react much. He watched her come to the edge of his bed and lie on it. He gently hugged her and closed his eyes.

In the next few days, people often came to Kento's room in the middle of the night, but Futaba Rio was nowhere to be found, which surprised Kento a little. He would occasionally leave his room at night and go to the villa next door to meet Mito Yuka and Ogiwara Sayu.

After the somewhat tiring vacation, the group returned to Tokyo from Okinawa. Before the start of Summer Comic, there was no work, so the four members of the club were given a vacation, and Xianren was preparing to deal with his current relationship.

He was prepared to face various inquiries after the holiday, but unexpectedly, after everyone returned to Tokyo, no one took the initiative to contact him. It was not until two days later that Futaba Rio was the first to contact him.

Kento, who had been resting at home for two days and had gifts for Kazeoka Mari and Machida Sonoko, was invited to the apartment in Gokokuji and met Futaba Rio at home.

He put down the gifts for Mari Kazeoka and Sonoko Machida, and his eyes fell on Rio Futaba. Looking at Rio Futaba who looked a little gloomy, it seemed that she had shown such signs since the time in Okinawa, and now it seemed to be even more serious.

"Did anything happen in Okinawa?"

Looking at Xianren who was walking in front of her, Futaba Rio closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and looked at Xianren.

"Do you know what she did?"

"Her? Who?"

He frowned and asked like a riddler. Xianren was stunned for a moment and couldn't figure out who the "she" that Futaba Rio was talking about was.

"Feng Xiaochun, your wife."

"..."

Seeing that the wise man did not seem to understand what he meant, he pointed out the other party's identity.

"What did she do?"

"There are her bugs in the villa, and even on you. Did you know about this?"

"...a bug?"

The expression of surprise, but not particularly surprise, made Futaba Rio suddenly understand that the person in front of her probably knew something.

"You know that."

"I know she installed a locator on me so she knows where I will be, but I don't know about the bug."

"Don't you care?"

"She doesn't care either."

Kento also spoke up and gave his answer to Rio Futaba who seemed to be a little concerned in front of him.

Facing Futaba Rio who seemed a little concerned, he also understood that not everyone could accept this matter calmly, but he did not think that what Feng Xiaochun did was a big problem. On the contrary, in the face of such a problem as his, Feng Xiaochun just did such a few actions, which was not a big problem.

Staring at the person in front of her, Futaba Rio did not expect such an answer, but she also understood that given Xianren's character, such an answer was not surprising.

“You may not care, but other people do.”

"I'm sorry, I know about the bug. I'll ask her about it when I get back."

Looking at Rio Futaba who seemed to be emotionally unstable in front of him, he thought about it seriously and could only give this answer. He would go back and negotiate with Feng Xiaochun, and ask her to destroy any saved content, but other than that, he had no other choice.

Looking at Xianren's face, Futaba Rio's eyes gradually drooped, and she went back to the bedroom alone. Xianren, who was standing in the living room, thought for a moment, then left the apartment and returned to his home.

Feng Xiaochun, wearing white silk and an apron, was sitting on the sofa. When she saw Xianren coming home, her eyes fell on him.

His gaze stayed on his wife for a moment, then turned to look at the coffee table, where were several memory cards, each marked with a different name.

"video?"

"recording."

Staring at the memory cards on the table, Xianren slowly walked to the kitchen counter, picked up the memory cards, and threw them all into the pot. The high temperature melted the memory cards. Then he poured another pot of water, boiled it, and poured it all into the sink.

"Do you have a backup?"

"No."

In response to the wise man's question, Feng Xiaochun gave an answer.

"Don't do this again."

"Ah."

Feng Xiaochun responded, but only she knew how much of it was true or false.

After dealing with the matter concerning Feng Xiaochun, Xianren, who didn't know how to explain it to others, decided to pretend that this matter did not exist. Futaba Rio had no contact with him after that. From Fukioka Mari, it was learned that she seemed to be completely immersed in the world of books. She read books at home every day, and went to school to conduct experiments.

The taste of the wine was quite satisfactory. The Awamori given to her was finished by Machida Sonoko in less than two days.

We made an appointment to travel to Okinawa together when we have time, but there was no follow-up. Then in early August, shortly after the beginning of August, I received a text message from Sayuri Sawamura, who seemed to want to meet him and talk to him about something.

"..."

I had some guesses in my mind, but I would only know the specific details when we met, that is, I made an appointment with the other party at a place.

On the afternoon of August 8nd, no, at 2pm, let's meet at a hotel restaurant owned by the Sawamura family.

Meeting at the Sawamura family's hotel did make Kento overthink things, but he also knew that this overthinking was unlikely to come true. On the evening of the appointment, Kento, wearing a light blue shirt and black suit pants, tidied himself up a bit, said goodbye to his wife, left the apartment, and headed to the hotel to meet Sayuri Sawamura...

"Are you going out?"

In the evening, after making preparations, Sayuri Sawamura walked out of her room and happened to meet Eriri Sawamura who also came out of the room.

Meeting her daughter's gaze, Sayuri Sawamura, who was about to go out to meet the wise man, seemed unhurried. She looked into her daughter's eyes calmly, smiled and nodded slightly.

"There are some things I need to go out and discuss with someone. I'll be back soon."

"Can I go?"

"Don't worry about these things for now. Once you graduate from college, you'll gradually become familiar with them."

"..."

Faced with her mother's words, Sawamura Eriri fell silent. Without asking too many questions, she walked towards the bathroom. Sawamura Sayuri pursed her lips slightly, left home, drove to the hotel by herself, and waited for the arrival of Kento at the table with the reservation number.

19:42

Before the agreed time, Kento arrived at the restaurant and met Sayuri Sawamura who was waiting there. She had obviously put on makeup carefully for this meeting. Although she already had a daughter like Eriri, she still looked like a young girl and there was no trace of time on her.

His gaze lingered on the other person for a moment, and soon met Sawamura Sayuri's eyes. The frank look made Sawamura Sayuri, who had just been a little concerned, let go of the little worry in her heart. There were more important things tonight.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's just that I came early. Please take a seat."

Xianren pulled out a chair in front of the table and sat down. He looked at Sayuri Sawamura in front of him and was silent for a moment. When he was about to speak, Sayuri Sawamura, who had been silent all the time, took the initiative to speak.

"I want you to stay away from Eriri. I think you should have guessed this before you came, right?"

Xianren was about to speak when he was interrupted. His eyes fell on Sayuri Sawamura and he nodded slightly. What she said was indeed within Xianren's expectations. No one understood the woman in front of him better than him.

"I know."

"But Eriri is too stubborn. Even if you leave her, she probably won't give up on you easily. So I have a question: why does Eriri have such a strong affection for you? You haven't met many times, and you only helped her once when she fainted. That alone shouldn't make Eriri so persistent in wanting you."

If she had not brought her daughter to accompany her for a physical examination and had Eriri also have a physical examination to confirm that her daughter had no physical problems, Sayuri Sawamura would have suspected that the person in front of her was using some despicable means to control her daughter.

But precisely because the other party did not use any despicable means, Sayuri Sawamura couldn't understand why her daughter was so obsessed with the man in front of her.

"It's hard for me to answer this question with common sense. You can understand your daughter falling in love with me at first sight, or you can think of it as fate from a past life, but I don't have deep feelings for your daughter. No, I wouldn't call it 'love'. She and I would rather be friends than a romantic relationship."

The straightforward and frank answer, his eyes looking straight ahead without any change, the penetrating gaze made Sayuri Sawamura frown involuntarily.

“Isn’t this a question that can be answered by common sense?”

"Do you know the story of the Yellow Millet Dream?"

"I've heard of this before. It should be a story from a neighboring country, right?"

"Does that sound like something Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly?"
