I won't be a loser.

Feng Xiaochun fell into silence, looked down at Ju Tai, and did not give an immediate answer.

She was not very good at facing her own feelings. She just always thought from the perspective of the sage. As long as the sage was willing, it would be fine. She had always thought this way. But now the sage asked her to give her answer according to her own will, but Feng Xiaochun was unable to open her mouth to give an answer.

"If I live with Setsuna, will there be another person?"

"Maybe, but I don't have any thoughts on that at the moment. Sometimes, I feel that you and Setsuna have similar personalities, but Setsuna is more reserved, and you...are more bold."

For example, Shanshan would not do something like following him every day, and she would rarely reveal her feelings in front of Xianren. But Feng Xiaochun in front of him was different. When she had her own ideas, she would take the initiative to express them to Xianren, and she was very proactive at all times...

"If she waits until March, she'll have to consider further studies, right?"

"It's not a matter of whether to consider it or not, but the time has come to make a decision. According to her thinking, she is preparing to set the Faculty of Law at Hitotsubashi University as her goal for further study."

"Law?"

"She thought this could help me in the future, so she wanted to enter the law department."

"So, is that girl called Saionji Sekai also planning to enter the Faculty of Law?"

The deviation value of Sakano Gakuen is quite high, so for example, in the Saionji world, if Hitotsubashi University is the target, there won't be any big problems.

"She is aiming for the Department of Economics, which is a little easier than the Department of Law."

For example, the deviation value of the Faculty of Law is 68, while the deviation value of the Faculty of Economics is 65.

Chiba University has a Faculty of Law, Politics, and Economics, which includes different disciplines such as "Law", "Economics", "Business and Accounting", and "Political Science and Policy". The deviation value is lower than that of Hitotsubashi University, at around 58.

Although Xianren herself felt that it would not happen, she still had some doubts. She wondered if Saionji Sekai would give up his goal of Hitotsubashi University and secretly go to Chiba to target Chiba University when Setsuna was not paying attention.

It's unlikely, but the possibility exists.

"The Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Economics?"

Feng Xiaochun was a little surprised, but nodded slowly. She was also in the Department of Economics, but she couldn't help Xianren much after graduation because she was responsible for her own construction company.

"That's all for the future."

What happened three months later.

Xianren, who was sitting in the room, recalled what happened in Tokyo, and his expression suddenly became depressed. He lowered his head and looked at Jutai in front of him, and did not speak again. Feng Xiaochun stared at Xianren, with some inexplicable emotions hidden in his eyes.

Chiba New Story: 462. The End of the Year Approaches

When he saw Fujiwa Naono, the wise man at home was surprised because he had not received any message from them before, and they had not told him that they would return to Itomori in the New Year.

"scared?"

Fujiwa Nyoin, who was standing in front of the door, asked the wise man.

"I'm a little surprised. Elliot came back with you, right?"

"Rest at home, do you want to go see her?"

Facing Fujiwa Nunu who took the initiative to invite him, Xianren was a little unsure of how to face her family, especially when he thought of the character of Fujiwa Nunu's mother. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and thought seriously for a moment. However, Fujiwa Nunu interrupted his thoughts and prevented him from making a choice.

"It's cold outside. Won't you invite me in to sit for a while?"

The wise man came back to his senses from a trance, nodded, and went into the house with her. He asked her to sit down in the living room and went to make tea. Fuji and Nunu sat in the living room, looking at the strange yet familiar environment, with a nostalgic expression on their faces.

"It's different from before. The headlights I wore before were from a long time ago and looked very old-fashioned. The current style is completely different from the products of two different eras."

"I went back home for a while last year. During my time living in Tokyo, I renovated part of this place, and the living room is a bit bigger than before."

He nodded slightly, not expecting that Teng He Nu Nu still remembered what this place looked like before. He poured tea and brought it to Teng He Nu Nu. He also sat down, but sat on the adjacent sofa, keeping a little distance from Teng He Nu Nu.

"We've all changed a lot. Both you and I are no longer the same as we were when we were little. I still remember you and I used to chase each other around the sofa in the living room."

It was a long time ago, and Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, recalled for a long time before he remembered some of the past events. It was no different from what Fuji and Nunu said. It was not a chase, but he just teased Fuji and Nunu, and then confronted them across the sofa.

At that time, life was carefree, but now he...

It's like an eternity.

But if you look closely, it can indeed be said to be a lifetime ago.

"She came back with you, didn't she?"

Seeing that Xianren suddenly fell silent, Fujiwa Nunu slowly asked.

"Ah."

She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Then she heard footsteps. Mitsuha came to the living room and saw Kento and Fujiwa Nyoin sitting in the living room. Their expressions looked a little subtle.

"Good morning, Mitsuha."

"Uh, well, good morning, Ms. Fujiwa."

Facing Fujiwara Onna who took the initiative to greet her, Mitsuha's expression seemed a little complicated. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded in response. Fujiwara Onna looked at Mitsuha, her gaze lingering on her face. She stared at her for a while, then looked back at Xianren beside her.

"You two are really alike, brother and sister. If Xianren was younger, even if he wore Mitsuha's clothes, no one would recognize him as a boy."

"I have no interest in this."

Facing Fuji and Nunu's interested eyes, he calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at Sanye.

"Yotsuba is still in the room?"

"I was reading a book. I forgot the title, and I didn't pay attention to the content either."

Faced with Xianren's question, Sanye recalled carefully, but couldn't remember the book her sister was reading. When she was about to go back to her room to see what the name of the book Siye was reading was, Feng Xiaochun, who had been resting in the room, also came out of the house.

She was wearing a pink sweater that she brought with her when she came from Tokyo, and a short skirt and black thermal tights. She was not surprised to see Fuji and Nv Nv in the living room.

"Good morning, Kento, Mitsuha, and Miss Fujiwa."

"It's okay to call me Sister Nunu. Our ages aren't that different anyway. Are you coming back to Itomori with Xianren this year?"

Looking at Feng Xiaochun who appeared in the living room, Teng Henunu looked at her with a smile.

"As girlfriends, Ms. Kiyoura and Ms. Saionji have already been here. As a wife, I should also come and visit my husband's family."

"She is a virtuous wife, my lord."

"Ah."

The atmosphere felt a little off. Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, felt a stomachache and looked at his sister.

"Don't let Yotsuba stay in her room reading all the time. Reading for a long time isn't good for her eyes. Let her come out and have a little rest. Also, when will Mother be back?"

"I don't know. Do you want to go out and take a look?"

“…I won’t go to see it.”

Faced with his sister's suggestion, the weather outside was a bit cold, and Xianren didn't want to go out, so he asked Sanye to call Siye out and let Feng Xiaochun sit in the living room.

The girl in the sweater quietly came to Xianren's sofa, squeezed onto Xianren's sofa, and sat down next to Xianren all of a sudden. It seemed that the action was to show the close relationship between the two parties. Fujiwa Nunu raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Around noon, Miyamizu Futaba returned home from outside. When she saw the people in the living room, she was stunned for a moment. Her eyes stayed on Fujiwara Nobuta and she found that she was also smiling and nodding at her.

"..."

Miyamizu Futaba, who didn't know why Elio was not there, was considerate of Feng Xiaochun's feelings and did not show overly warm attitude. After Xianren stood up, she gave some of the ingredients to Xianren and asked him to accompany her to clean up while asking about the current situation.

"Are you okay?"

"It's no problem. Xiaochun won't do anything impulsive, and Nunu is not a child."

Miyamizu Futaba wanted to say something to her son, but looking at the silent Xianren, she also remained silent and sighed silently in her heart.

At noon, Fujiwa and Nv'er left and returned to their home. In the afternoon, Elliot came to the door and stared at it timidly. After pressing the doorbell, it was Miyamizu Futaba who opened the door. When he saw his granddaughter, he gently invited her into the house. After entertaining her, he asked her what she wanted to come for.

"Is Dad...here?"

The cautious question made Miyamizu Futaba's heart melt. After letting Elio sit in the living room and wait for a while, he hurried to the door of Xianren's bedroom and called out Xianren who was watching a movie with Feng Xiaochun in the room.

When Kento learned that Fuji and Nunu had returned to Itomori, he also knew that Elio had returned with them. However, he was a little surprised that he had not seen Elio in the morning. Now in the afternoon, he saw Elio coming to his house alone, and he felt inexplicably concerned.

He came to the living room and saw the wise man of Elliot. He walked up to his daughter, opened his arms, and picked up his daughter.

"What are you doing this morning?"

"I was at home...sleeping. I came back with my mom yesterday and was very tired, so I fell asleep. I woke up just now."

A tender voice came from the girl's mouth. Looking at the girl in front of him, a trace of concern appeared on Xianren's face. Miyamizu Futaba on the side watched the conversation between the father and daughter, and his expression gradually calmed down.

Although I already knew about the progress of the relationship between Xianren and Elio, I still couldn't feel at ease until I saw their close relationship in person.

In the afternoon, Xianren held Elio and sat in the living room, chatting about some things at home. He also watched TV with Elio for a while. In the evening, they stayed at home for dinner. It was not until it was completely dark that Fujiwa Nvnu appeared at the door of the Miyamizu family and led Elio back home.

It was late at night when he returned to his room. Feng Xiaochun, who had returned to the room earlier, lay on the bed and looked at the wise man who entered the room from outside.

Xianren, who was wearing pajamas, closed the door casually and walked to the edge of the bed. Looking at Feng Xiaochun who was looking at him, he slowly sat down and was silent for a moment, thinking about what happened today. He pursed his lips slightly and lowered his eyes.

"Let's go to Nagoya together tomorrow?"

"With Elliot and the others?"

"Next time, this time we'll go to Nagoya with you."

The New Year is coming soon, but it would be boring to let Feng Xiaochun stay at home with him, so the wise man at home wanted to let her go out with him.

Feng Xiaochun naturally had no problem with this matter. He nodded and agreed.

The next morning, the two left home together, went to the nearby station, took a bus to the Hida tram station, and then took another tram to Nagoya Station. It seemed that the area near Nagoya Station was full of modern atmosphere and looked similar to Tokyo.

Famous tourist attractions include Nagoya Castle and Atsuta Shrine, which houses the sacred Kusanagi sword.

Even at Atsuta Shrine, there is a wall donated by Oda Nobunaga, the former Warring States overlord, after he won the Battle of Okehazama.

"Has Feng Xiaochun been here before?"

"Nagoya? I came here once a long time ago with my mother, but it was so long ago that I've almost forgotten everything that happened back then."

When the two arrived in Nagoya, Xianren asked Feng Xiaochun about the topic of Nagoya. When he learned that Feng Xiaochun had been here a long time ago, Xianren was a little surprised.

"A long time ago, about what time was it?"

"I came to Nagoya during the summer vacation when I was in elementary school, maybe in second or third grade."

"That was indeed a long time ago."

If we calculate based on Feng Xiaochun's age, that must have been at least 10 years ago. For a wise man, that was even longer ago. Adding up two lifetimes, it would be almost 20 years.

Things that happened 4 or 5 years ago are already vague in people's minds, and things that happened 10 years ago are too long ago.

The two stood on the streets of Nagoya, holding Koharu's hand. Their figures gradually disappeared into the crowd, heading towards the scenic spots marked on the map...

"Hmm? Are both of you out?"

Sanye woke up and learned that her brother had gone out without her. She looked surprised, and then dissatisfied. She puffed up her cheeks, pursed her lips, and went back to her room in a depressed mood. Looking at Siye who was still sitting at the desk reading a book, she sighed in depression.

"..."

Not paying any attention to her sister, Yotsuba stared at the book in her hand and was completely indifferent to Sanye's sighing.

"call--"

"..."

Seeing that Siye ignored him, Sanye couldn't help but frown.

"Don't you care at all?"

"..."

"That's your brother. He's with another woman and left you at home. Don't you have any thoughts?"

Looking at the book, Yotsuba slowly picked up the label and put it between the pages. She slowly turned around and looked at her sister. Her calm gaze made Sanye feel a little uncomfortable.

"what happened?"

"Are you stupid?"

"Huh? Is that how you talk to your sister?!"

"Brother will get married sooner or later, and you will also marry another man sooner or later. In the end, everyone will leave this family one day. Don't keep acting like a child."

After saying that, Siye picked up her book and slowly left the bedroom, leaving Sanye staring blankly at Siye as she walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and sat alone in the room, unable to help biting her lips.

I lay down on the bed in a depressed mood, tossing and turning in bed, falling into an intense emptiness and loneliness.
