I won't be a loser.

Standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, the other person's figure was infinitely extended, looking full of confusion and sorrow, which made Qingpu Mai, who was standing in place, stunned for a moment. After slowly coming back to her senses, she gradually frowned, and followed the other person's line of sight again, looking towards Xianren's apartment.

"......"

After a moment of silence, she reconfirmed the other person's gaze. The other person's eyes were indeed looking at the room where the sage lived.

Qingpu Mai has always been brooding over the 'fact' that she guessed from Xianren's skillful technique last time. Now, seeing a strange woman standing at the intersection and looking at Xianren's apartment, Qingpu Mai suddenly became extremely alert.

Slowly walking towards the other person, she took the initiative to talk to him.

"Hello."

The sudden voice behind her brought Sayuri, who was so lost in thought that she didn't even know what she was doing there, back to her senses. She turned around to look at the person who appeared behind her.

The long hair tied up in a bun and the white-collar work attire made Sayuri a little surprised, and she slowly nodded at the other party.

"Hello."

"Excuse me, are you looking at that apartment? Are you looking for someone who lives there? What can I do for you?"

Qingpu Wu did not directly say Xianren's name because she was not sure whether the other party knew Xianren. She also wanted to test whether the other party knew that was where Xianren lived and knew Xianren.

Looking at the person behind her, Sayuri slowly opened her folding fan and covered her face. Looking at the other person's vigilant eyes and tentative remarks, she realized that the other person might have some relationship with the boy living there that she didn't know about.

"Yes, I was looking at that apartment, but I didn't have any intention of communicating with the people who lived there. I simply came here for a walk and saw that place. I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, so I took a closer look. Madam, do you know anyone there?"

"There is some connection. The person living there is my daughter's boyfriend."

"My daughter's boyfriend?"

Sayuri was a little surprised. Looking at the woman in front of her, she was sure that she was not very old, and might even be about the same age as her. Then her daughter should be about the same age as her daughter, and about the same age as Eriri.

Looking back at the apartment, and then at the woman in front of her, she thought of the scene she saw last time, the scene of the girl and boy hugging each other, and Sayuri showed a look of realization.

"Neighbor?"

"Yes, it's a neighbor."

For some reason, Qingpu Mai felt that the young-looking woman in front of her made her a little concerned. She nodded and suddenly spoke, extending an invitation to the person in front of her.

"Are you interested in visiting my home? If you have any questions about that place, maybe I can give you some answers."

Faced with the sudden invitation, Sayuri couldn't help but be surprised. She looked at the woman in front of her, then turned back to look at the apartment that made her feel familiar and that she had been quite concerned about recently.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly shook his head.

"No, although I am also curious about some things and want to discuss something with you, Madam, I'm sorry, but I still have some things to deal with at home, so I have to go back soon."

"I see. That's a pity."

Although Qingpu Mai was not that disappointed when the invitation was rejected by the other party, she just looked back in the direction of her home and pointed gently with her right hand.

"My home is right there. If you have time, you can come and visit me."

"If I have time, definitely."

Smiling and nodding to Kiyoura Mai, Sayuri withdrew her gaze, looked back at Kento's apartment, turned silently and walked away. She was going back, and it was almost time to go home to prepare dinner and take care of Eriri.

I don't know what's going on with my daughter Eriri these days. I always feel like she's avoiding me. It's not that I can't even see her, but every day when I get home, she just hides in her room.

"You asked me to prepare two lunch boxes today. Could it be that you have a boyfriend?"

On the way home, I thought about what the lady had just said to me. Her daughter and Eriri always felt about the same age. There might be a slight difference, but it was definitely not much different. The other lady's daughter had a boyfriend, and she didn't have any special objection to her own daughter having a boyfriend.

If that was the person Eriri liked, then it would be more accurate to say that Sayuri herself was looking forward to her daughter finding a boyfriend she liked and quickly deepening their relationship.

A home of just two people is too lonely. It would be a good thing if there could be some new ones so that she could experience the feeling of being a grandmother early. Thinking about the lonely time she spent sitting in the living room, she hoped that Eriri could have two more children if possible.

At home, Eriri was sitting in her room when she suddenly felt a chill, not knowing where it came from. She grinned at her room and continued painting in a depressed mood.

Some time ago, she had been creating themes about daughters and mothers fighting over their lovers. During this period, she began to paint themes about daughters secretly having an affair with their mother's lover without her mother's knowledge. The change in themes and mentality can only be said to be something that cannot be explained to outsiders.

After watching Sayuri disappear, Qingpu Mai slowly returned to her home. When she opened the door, the house was empty and there was no sign of her daughter.

She slowly changed her clothes and threw her pantyhose into the clothes rack in the bathroom. After putting on her home clothes, she walked to the refrigerator.

"I forgot to prepare the ingredients. I was thinking about preparing them yesterday, but I forgot when I got home? If I go to buy them now, they will all be discounted and not very fresh, right?"

Qingpu Mai hesitated for a moment and decided to go to Xianren first.

She walked out of her room, went down the stairs, stood at the intersection, and looked at Xianren's apartment. She was still a little concerned about the strange woman just now. Looking at her appearance, there was always an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. The feeling in her heart made Qingpu Wu speed up her pace and come to Xianren's door.

I rang the doorbell and entered the sage's home. Inside, I saw Sesame sitting in the living room, reading a book, and the sage sitting at the desk, writing furiously.

Looking at Qingpu Wu who entered the house, Setsuna slowly raised his head, glanced at her, then silently lowered his head and continued reading.

As for Xianren, he didn't even notice Qing Pu Mai's arrival.

"Xianren, do you have any ingredients at home?"

"Hmm... hm? Miss Mai, you're here. Ingredients... ingredients, right? I just bought some fresh ingredients today and put them in the refrigerator."

"Let me prepare dinner. You continue. There's no need to waste time on these little things. Come on."

"Uh... yeah."

Looking at Qing Pu Mai who took the initiative to prepare dinner for him, Xianren felt that she must be unaware of what he had written, which was why she was so proactive. If she knew what he had written...

Looking down at the content that had already reached about 50,000 words, Xianren slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, a content of about 100,000 words is enough, but the income is relatively less than those of about 200,000 words.

"I'd better try to write more."

Thinking this, the wise man lowered his head and continued writing quietly.

Until Qingpu Mai prepared dinner and sat at the dining table, Xianren was still immersed in his previous idea with his head down, and his mood was a little confused. When he didn't look at Qingpu Mai and Qingpu Setsuna, Qingpu Mai, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly spoke.

"By the way, Xianren, I met a strange woman downstairs of your house today. She kept looking at your house. I wonder if you recognize her?"

"Ok?"

Xianren slowly raised his head, somewhat concerned about Qingpu Mai's words, and suddenly thought of the previous theft of his underwear.

"Who?"

"A woman wearing a brightly colored kimono with flowers and pigtails, and holding a folding fan in her hand."

"......"

Under Qing Pu Mai's gaze, the young man in front of her suddenly became stiff in expression. He smiled at her with an awkward and perfunctory smile, then quickly lowered his head.

"do not know."

It’s not that I don’t know you, but that I don’t know you?

At this moment, Xianren's inappropriate answer not only attracted the attention of Qingpu Mai, but also Qingpu Setsuna who was sitting next to him.

Two pairs of sharp eyes fell on Xianren and stared at him closely.

- - - -

I ran away and got my house stolen, do you know how to play?

Thanks to the Godseeker, the three-headed dog, the ruthless reading machine, the extremely powerful, the Pikachu monthly ticket and the blade! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

The season when cherry blossoms bloom: 97. This is the noble power of Sawamura!

Xianren himself didn't want to say anything, and Qingpu Mai and Setsuna didn't ask any further questions. They just kept the matter in their hearts. Their eyes stayed on Xianren for a moment, then they looked silently in front of them and continued to have dinner quietly.

After dinner, Setsuna and Kiyoura Mai returned home together, leaving Xianren sitting alone in his room, lost in thought for a long time.

He pinched his eyebrows, not knowing why Sayuri appeared nearby and was noticed by Qingpu Mai. But since the other party appeared nearby, it meant that Sayuri might have noticed him.

"Is it the same situation as Eriri?"

Kento sat silently in his room, not knowing what was going on. But if Sayuri's situation was really the same as Eriri's, then things would become troublesome.

His mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He wanted Sayuri to remember him and come to him actively, but he didn't want the peace he had chosen to be broken. He lowered his head silently, his eyes wandered for a moment, looked at the desk, and pulled open his drawer.

"......"

Looking at the thick manuscript paper lying inside, Xianren just took a look and closed the drawer again. He was not in a good mood at the moment and didn't know what to write.

I glanced at the alarm clock on the table and saw that it was still early. Even if I lay down on my bed, I didn’t really feel like sleeping.

"Let's go out for a while."

After taking his wallet and turning off the lights in the apartment, Xianren walked outside alone.

Walking forward, he unknowingly arrived at the door of the convenience store. At the familiar welcoming bell, Xianren walked into the convenience store, glanced in the direction of the cashier, and saw the familiar figure.

It was the same clerk he met twice before. He also noticed his presence. After seeing Xianren entering the convenience store, there was some surprise in his eyes, and his face suddenly turned red. He quickly lowered his head and avoided his sight, which made Xianren a little puzzled.

"......"

Not caring about what the clerk thought, Xianren started browsing in the convenience store.

In the magazine and photo area, Xianren's gaze lingered for a moment on the photos of people wearing swimsuits and bikinis. He reached out and picked up one at random, looked at the models on it, and flipped through it casually. The content was basically the same, except that the poses were a little provocative, there was nothing new.

Xianren, who has no interest in swimsuits, doesn't know why so many people like to look at swimsuit photos. He looked carefully at the model's figure, which seems good, but just average.

He had the time to spend money looking at this kind of photos. He felt that even if he just found a quiet place, drank coffee and watched the high school girls passing by on the street, it would be more comfortable than this.

He flipped through it casually, then put the photo back in its place and picked up another weekly comic. He remembered Umetaro Nozaki's pen name, which seemed to be 'Yumeno Sakiko'... He flipped through the comic in his hand, but did not see this name.

"I forgot to ask him which comic magazine it was last time."

I only know that it is a girls' manga, but I don't know which girls' manga it is.

He took the weekly comic in his hands and thought some of the content inside seemed quite interesting. He could buy it to help him pass the time. As for the rest...

"Ah, Miyamizu-kun, you're here too!"

A familiar voice rang in his ears. He turned around and saw that it was Saionji Sekai. The other party was wearing a gray home suit and seemed to have come to the convenience store to buy something. They met by chance.

Xianren, who did not expect to meet an acquaintance, was also surprised after seeing the Saionji world and nodded to the other party.

"good evening."

"Has Setsuna rested yet?"

"She should be resting at home. It's almost her rest time at this point."

Saionji Sekai slowly came to Kento's side. She couldn't sleep at home anyway, so after struggling for a while, she picked up her telescope and stared at Kento's apartment for a while, but she didn't expect to find that Kento had gone out.

So, after determining Xianren's route and arriving at the convenience store, she hurriedly rushed out of her room, rushed to the convenience store, and saw Xianren flipping through a photo album.

At first, I didn't know how to strike up a conversation with him, especially when I saw Xianren staring at the photo carefully. I always felt that it would be awkward to speak at this time.

So, she waited for a while, and when she saw Xianren pick up the comic, she went up to him and started chatting with him.

"Miyamizu-kun, are you out buying comic books?"

"No, I just didn't know what to do, so I came out for a stroll. I saw this interesting comic book and thought I'd buy one to take home. Where's Saionji?"

"Me? I couldn't sleep either, so I came out to buy some milk. I didn't expect to run into Miyamizu-kun."

The clerk standing behind the cashier stared at Saionji Sekai for a while. She had been watching Saionji Sekai's actions since she entered the store, and she understood that the girl seemed to be interested in the boy.

She glanced at the boy who bought the largest size and bought two. She thought that he should be a dating partner or a close female friend. The relationship between the girl and the boy did not seem that close, and Xianren was not the person the boy would use the props for.

As if he knew some completely meaningless gossip, the clerk lowered his head silently and stopped paying attention to the situation over there.

"Is that so? Then buy some milk and go back early. It's quite dangerous for a girl to be alone at night."

Knowing the purpose of Saionji Sekai coming to the convenience store, Xianren didn't care much. He silently picked up the comic weekly, smiled at Saionji Sekai, and walked towards the cashier.

Looking at the wise man who reacted calmly and kept his distance, Saionji Sekai couldn't help but bite her lips and slowly walked towards the area where people were visiting milk.

After placing the comic book on the counter, the clerk looked at Xianren with some surprise. He didn't expect that he would be so...honest?

Didn’t he notice the girl’s feelings?

Scan code.

"420 yen."

He took out his wallet, put the money on the table, picked up the comic book, put the invoice away, and looked back. He saw Saionji Sekai just walking out.

"Well, I'll be leaving first. You should go home early and remember to rest."

".......Um."

Looking at Xianren who was able to keep a distance from her, Saionji Sekai couldn't help but pursed her lips, a forced smile appeared on her face, she said goodbye to Xianren, and watched his figure sink into the darkness and disappear.
