I won't be a loser.

After receiving a somewhat unexpected answer, Gokou Ruri, who was standing at the door, hesitated for a moment, nodded slowly, and entered the house. Compared to the heat outside, the temperature in the living room was obviously cooler. The cool air blowing from the high-power air conditioner made Gokou Ruri feel refreshed. At that moment, her eyes saw Xianren sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"It's five o'clock, is there anything going on today?"

"She seems to have some questions and wants to ask Kosaka for advice, but Kosaka is not here right now. I plan to help contact Kosaka."

Yuanye Ningning took the initiative to speak and told Xianren about Gokou Ruri and the reason why she came to his house today.

"Kosaka..."

He nodded and did not ask any further questions. He sat quietly in the living room, drinking his barley tea. He looked very relaxed. On the other hand, Nene led Ruri Gokou into the office, turned on the computer and contacted Iori Kousaka. The two communicated via video.

There were some technical issues that Nene Madoka didn't quite understand, so she left Gokou Ruri and Kousaka Iori to communicate remotely, while she returned to the living room. Looking at Kento sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but move closer to him, staring at him with her eyes wide open.

"We have guests."

Xianren, who sensed some of Yuanye Ningning's thoughts from her passionate gaze, spoke up to remind her.

"one time……"

"Not even for half a second. Calm down a bit and wait until she comes home."

"Well……"

Feelings that had never been experienced before seemed to suddenly grow and swell in Yuanye Ningning's heart, as if trying to regain the experience that she had not had in the past thirty years. Even though Gokou Ruri was in this house, Yuanye Ningning seemed unable to control her emotions.

Only with the constant reminders from Xianren did he manage to control himself. He looked towards the office, waiting for Gogen Ruri to come out soon.

But it was not until almost noon that Gokou Ruri slowly walked out of the office, thanked Yuanye Ningning and Kento, her face slightly blushed, and she left with pursed lips.

Xianren, who was watching her leave, suddenly became concerned after the girl left his house and began to think seriously. He looked at the impatient Yuanye Ningning and couldn't help but sigh in his heart... Maybe the other party saw something.

in the afternoon.

Feng Xiaochun came to Qianye. With the key, she opened the door and entered the house, and then she heard some slight noises.

He closed the door and walked to the bedroom door step by step. Listening to the clear voice, his expression seemed very calm. His hand fell on the door handle and he gently pushed the door open.

Yuanye Ningning, wearing a coral-colored tank top, knelt on the sofa, facing Feng Xiaochun, who was sitting beside her with an expressionless face. Her heart was filled with deep shame and embarrassment. She had never expected Feng Xiaochun to appear in front of her.

The wise man, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. He poured two cups of barley tea and placed them in front of each of them.

In a somewhat subtle atmosphere, Yuanye Ningning carefully raised her head, her eyes fell on Feng Xiaochun, and she spoke slowly with hesitation.

"I'm so, so sorry... I did something wrong. No matter what the punishment is, I'm willing to accept it!"

Yuanye Ningning, who had made up her mind, lowered her head and knelt on the sofa, while Feng Xiaochun's eyes fell on Xianren, and then slowly looked at Yuanye Ningning who was sitting down in front of her. She couldn't help but pouting slightly, and her expression was very subtle.

There were many girls who had affairs with Kento, but there had never been a case of someone like Nene Madoka, who knelt down and apologized to his wife.

But when I think about the fact that other people basically don't know anything about her, and the person in front of me is clearly aware of the existence of her wife, and has a relationship with Xianren, it seems understandable that he would apologize like this?

"A wise man."

"Do you need me to get down too?"

Xianren poured himself a cup of barley tea to replenish some water, then turned his head to look at his wife who had called him.

"cold."

"Well, a little bit, but in this kind of atmosphere, I don't know what to say. Besides, this is my first time experiencing this. What's the matter with you coming here today? Is it to give me some excitement?"

The calm tone made Yuanye Ningning, who was sitting at the bottom of the seat, confused for a moment as to why the wise man was so calm, and Feng Xiaochun did not seem to be very angry either.

"A wise man today isn't going to go out to do anything that he hasn't done at home, is he?"

"Yes."

"So I plan to be with Xianren today."

The concise answer also made Xianren understand Feng Xiaochun's thoughts. He nodded silently and walked to the sofa. Looking at Yuanye Ningning who was sitting at the bottom of the sofa, he stretched out his hand, gently picked her up, and then stretched out his hand to Feng Xiaochun -

In the evening, the three of them went out together, bought some ingredients and returned home. The two women prepared dinner together, while Xianren watched the TV program that was being broadcast.

By nightfall.

The three of them went into the bathroom together and then returned to the bedroom together.

That night.

Sitting in her room, Gokou Ruri looked at the script she had written carefully and seriously, from the beginning to the end, and confirmed it again and again. After confirming that there was no problem, she sent it to the chat room of her, Kousaka Kirino, and Makishima Saori, wanting to ask the two of them how they felt.

Feeling a little nervous and a little hot, Gokogen Ruri slowly walked to the window. Not knowing what kind of mentality she had, she glanced out the window and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Hmm? Eh? Ah?!"

Rubbing her eyes, Gokuru Ruri couldn't help biting her lips, silently closed her window, and sat down in front of the computer with a sigh.

"Will that...relieve stress?"

The wise man, who had no idea that his private life had been pried into, got up early in the morning after a good night's rest.

After preparing breakfast, they woke up Yuanye Ningning and Feng Xiaochun who were still resting. The three of them had breakfast at the dining table in the living room. At around nine o'clock in the morning, they were all ready and left home, heading towards the central area of Chiba.

It seemed like the three of them had lived in Tokyo for a long time and didn't have a deep understanding of Chiba. Now Feng Xiaochun had rarely come to Chiba, and Xianren, who had indulged himself for a day, didn't have the energy left to fight with the two of them, so he found an excuse and took the two of them out for a somewhat subtle date.

"During the time you lived in Chiba, did Xianren often come to places like this?"

Walking in Sakae-machi in Chuo-ku, the roads are not much different from those in Tokyo, but although they are both bustling areas of the same city, walking on the road in Chuo-ku, like in Tokyo's Chuo-ku, there is an inexplicable sense of congestion, and when you look up, you can only see a narrow sky.

But when walking in the central area of Chiba, you don’t feel crowded at all. Even if you raise your head and look at the sky above, you can see a large expanse of blue sky instead of those towering buildings.

“Occasionally, if I’m short of some daily necessities at home, or if I have nothing to do, I’ll come here to relax.”

In response to Feng Xiaochun's question, the three of them walked to the door of a crepe shop and ordered three crepes. After ordering a chocolate crepe, he gave the answer casually.

"Most of the time, the actions of a wise man are full of purpose."

The three of them sat down in the store. Looking at her husband, Feng Xiaochun gave an evaluation that surprised even Xianren herself.

Even though... Yuanye Ningning still felt a little guilty in her heart, so she didn't speak casually during the conversation between the two. Xianren thought about it seriously, nodded slightly, and agreed with Feng Xiaochun's evaluation of him.

"That's probably it. In most cases, we act out of purpose. If we don't have an idea, we don't know what to do. And these purposes are often trivial. The only real long-term goal so far is 'making money.'"

However, this goal is not clear. It only has a general direction and cannot guarantee success.

"After you graduate from university, you will join your father's company and take on some high-level management and decision-making duties, right?"

"My father planned to let me first understand the functions of each department before entering the senior management. During the period of my graduation, I probably won't be involved in decision-making. Those matters will still be handled by my father."

"Then wait until you are familiar with all the duties before considering the child. Also, like the last time, you didn't meet with Nunu again, right?"

Feng Xiaochun was silent for a moment, looked at Xianren, noticed Xianren's somewhat concerned look, and smiled slightly.

"We met once, exchanged some gifts, and then we didn't have any further contact."

"Ah."

With a slight nod, the crepes were delivered to the three people's table. Just as the three were eating the crepes, a group of people appeared in the store, and someone accidentally noticed the three wise men sitting in the corner, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face, but then there was a moment of embarrassment, and his eyes became wandering.

"Yuigahama-san, is there something wrong?"

A voice as cold as snow asked the girl with a strange expression. Yuigahama Yui smiled awkwardly and turned her back to Kento and his group. She showed an awkward and perfunctory smile to the girl in front of her who was as graceful as a young lady.

"Hmm? Eh, nothing much... Ahahaha..."

The boy standing beside the two of them had a subtle expression on his face. He stared at the smirking girl, and then looked towards the corner that she was deliberately blocking.

A boy and two girls who looked delicate and cute, and the three of them were feeding each other.

——Damn you real people!

"But what does this have to do with Yuigahama?"

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but feel curious, while Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yuigahama Yui who was obviously hiding something and couldn't help but frowned, but then slowly relaxed and didn't pursue the issue.

"So, do you want to change stores?"

"Hmm... change... change to another one——"

Just when Yuigahama Yui was hesitating, Xianren, who was sitting in the store, also noticed a slight movement. He looked in the direction of the sound and met Yuigahama Yui who was glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.

"..."

"..."

The sitting sage couldn't help but chuckle and waved slightly at Yuigahama Yui.

"If I'm not mistaken, that person seems to be waving at you, Yuigahama-san, right?"

"Familiar?"

Hikigaya Hachiman also spoke. Judging from the current situation, he could no longer hide it. He was a little curious about the relationship between that man and Yuigahama Yui. In his opinion, even if he looked... a little bit... something, he should be a relatively innocent person.

A man who has a delicate relationship with two women would not be so calm now if he had any relationship with her.

Yuigahama Yui's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she sighed helplessly...

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

Chiba New Story: 452. Is this your idea or your preference?

Although there were some problems in their first meeting, with Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya Hachiman present, Yuigahama Yui was not sure what happened that day. With a slightly embarrassed look on her face, she took the initiative to introduce herself.

"I've seen this person twice before..."

When she wanted to introduce them, Yuigahama found that she was a little unsure about how to describe their relationship. It seemed that using the word "friends" was too intimate, while using the word "strangers" seemed a bit rude.

"I happened to have met this Yuigahama classmate twice before. My name is Miyamizu Kento, and I'm currently a student at Chiba University."

"Yukikinoshita Yukino."

"Hikigaya Hachiman, we are Yuigahama-san, members of the same club. We are going out together today for club activities. Please be kind to us."

After Hikigaya Hachiman introduced himself to Yukinoshita Yukino, he added a sentence by the way, but Kento was not very interested in it. Just from the other party's introduction, it seemed that there was some misunderstanding of the relationship?

"Have I ever introduced myself before?"

When Yuigahama Yui heard Kento call out her last name, she felt a little weird. She couldn't help but think about whether she had introduced herself to this person before. However, it had been such a long time since they met that she couldn't remember clearly. After a moment of hesitation, she asked.

However, Xianren did not give a direct answer to her question. He just smiled and did not continue the conversation in depth.

Seeing that Xianren did not continue the conversation, the three of them did not go to other shops and stayed in the shop. They each ordered a crepe. Hikigaya Hachiman ordered a glass of juice and listened to the two girls talking there, somewhat absent-mindedly.

"Is Xianren interested in that cherry-haired girl?"

He asked softly, and because his voice was not very loud, even if they were sitting in a store, the other party would not be able to hear clearly. Xianren turned his head to look at his wife and shook his head slightly.

"No, she might make a good wife in the future, but she's not my type of girl. I'm not familiar with her. But Yukinoshita... this last name reminds me of a troublesome person."

"That Yukinoshita councillor here in Chiba?"

"Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukinoshita Yukino, it's hard not to think of them together, right?"

While they were chatting quietly, another person soon came into the store. The moment she came in, with her shining personality, she started calling someone's name in the store, which made Xianren frown.

"Xianren~ Long time no see. I thought I wouldn't see you again before school started. I didn't expect to run into you outside just now. What are you doing here?"

The woman with short gray hair and highlighted ends walked straight towards Xianren's table after entering the store, and stopped in front of Xianren. Her eyes fell on Xianren with a look of surprise. Such a fake and artificial expression was rare among the people Xianren knew.

"Ah~ There are others. Are they Miyamizu-kun's friends?"

The skilled switch from 'Ken' to 'Miyamizu-kun', the fork touched the crepe. The originally relatively relaxed atmosphere was completely destroyed when this person appeared. Kento really didn't like such a strong-willed person.

"Instead of reminiscing with me about the past, why don't you pay attention to your sister first?"

"Ah, Xiaoxue can meet her anytime. It's been a while since I've seen Miyamizu-kun, though. Can I sit here?"

Completely ignoring her sister's gloomy face and expression, Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but worry about her friend, while Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but slow down his breathing, sensing a strong smell of trouble.

"Even if you refuse, you will still do it, whatever."

"Your attitude is quite cold, considering we used to have a very good relationship. By the way, is that girl who appeared in the school last time really your child?"

Curious eyes fell on Xianren. Feng Xiaochun, who was sitting next to him, had a strange light flashing in his eyes. His gaze fell on Yukinoshita Haruno, who was sitting opposite him. She smiled back at Feng Xiaochun's gaze.

"These two?"

"There are two Yukinoshita here, so I'll just call you Haruno-senpai. Is that okay?"

"of course."

"Hina-senpai, you don't have a boyfriend yet, right?"

"Hmm? Although I have a decent feeling towards Miyamizu-kun, I'm not ready for a relationship yet~"
