I won't be a loser.

The girl raised her index finger and touched the sparkling soft lips, signaling the wise man to keep it secret.

Looking at the girl in front of him, the wise man, who was curious, felt that the following story might be a bit heavy, but looking at the girl in front of him, he nodded.

"I'll keep it a secret."

"Then make a promise and keep it secret."

Looking at the wise man in front of her, the girl stretched out her delicate little hand and gently placed her little finger in front of the wise man. The wise man looked at the white little finger, stretched out his left hand, and gently hooked his little finger with the other's. The touch was delicate and warm, and he gently hooked it and separated it as soon as it touched.

After making the agreement, the girl smiled with a nostalgic expression on her face and slowly recounted the story that happened to her.

At the beginning of the story, like most ordinary people, the girl had her own family, with a father and a mother, and the family lived together in harmony. Thinking about it now, that was probably the happiest period in her life.

"When I was in middle school, my father was in debt due to an accident. At first, he comforted me and my mother, saying that he would find a way to overcome this difficult time. But under the pressure of the debtors, he... and my mother both chose to commit suicide."

The girl slowly lowered her head and buried her face in her knees. She was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head, looked at the wise man in front of her, and smiled again, but this time her smile was bitter.

"After they both passed away, my relatives managed to arrange my parents' funeral, but the debtor simply took everything we had from my family to pay off the debt. Without my father and mother, I can't live in my old place anymore. The neighbors must have had enough of the debtor's daily harassment, haha."

Looking at the girl's dry smile, the wise man could probably guess the dilemma the girl was facing at the time. He was silent for a while and didn't know where to start.

"I had saved up a small fortune, but I never thought it would come in handy at that time. I wandered the streets for a while and found internet cafes and manga cafes that offered accommodation and toilets for a reasonable price, so I moved in. But even at the low price, it still cost around 50,000 yen a month, and I had to go to school, so even with a part-time job, it wasn't enough to live on."

"Later, my teacher at school saw how difficult my life was and told me a way to make money."

The sage had already guessed what the method was. The girl in front of him faced the sage's gaze, slowly stretched out her arms, raised her face, and slowly turned her gaze back to the sage.

"I thought it was a bit...but I was so hungry, so there was nothing I could do."

The girl reached out and gently stroked her abdomen. The wise man sighed deeply. He had not seen many so-called tragedies in real life, but he had seen many of them on the Internet. After listening to the girl's story, he did not feel much empathy.

But just now, that simple sentence, "I'm too hungry, there's nothing I can do," made Xianren suddenly...

"There should be food provided here, right?"

"Hmm? Yes, yes..."

"Come on, I'll treat you as a thank you for your story."

"Eh? You're not going to do it?"

"Let's fill our stomach first, then we'll have the strength, right?"

"......makes sense."

The girl smiled and left the box with Xianren. They came to the dining area of the restaurant. Xianren asked the girl to order her favorite dishes. Xianren ordered a glass of juice for himself and waited quietly.

After the waiter brought the girl's curry rice and Xianren's juice to the table, the girl looked at Xianren apologetically.

"Don't worry, I already used it this morning."

"Then I'll start."

The girl looked at the curry rice in front of her with gratitude. She clasped her delicate white hands together slightly, picked up the spoon, scooped up the curry and put it into her mouth, a satisfied smile on her face.

The wise man sitting next to her couldn't help but smile when he saw the satisfied smile on the girl's face.

"Come to think of it, I haven't asked for your name yet."

After finishing the meal, the girl slowly looked at the boy beside her.

Originally, she shouldn't have asked the other person's name, but after he invited her to have a meal, she felt that it would be a bit rude not to ask the other person's name. At least she had to remember the name of this kind man. What happened today would be deeply engraved in her life.

"Miyamizu, just call me Miyamizu, what about you?"

"Mito, Mito Yuka."

Back in the box, the girl was about to unbutton her clothes again, but the wise man held her hand steady and asked her to accompany him to read a book and watch a movie for a while.

Mito Yuge looked into Kento's eyes, his gentle face and warm expression, which made Mito Yuge silent for a moment. She nodded silently, and then sat in the box with Kento and watched those cute pet videos on the Internet.

At noon, afternoon, and until evening, it was almost six o'clock. The girl only realized that it was evening when she heard the sound of footsteps outside.

When she was with Miyamizu, she seemed to have forgotten everything outside. All the sorrows and worries seemed to have nothing to do with her for a short time. Just staying by his side made her feel safe. She was a little dazed and didn't know why she felt this way.

"It's already evening. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

The wise man, who had also noticed the time, showed a somewhat surprised expression when he found that it was already evening.

It would be boring to be alone, but when there is a girl by your side, time seems to pass faster all of a sudden.

"Are you leaving?"

"Well, it's time to go back."

"Not yet."

"That's right."

What should have been a somewhat annoying thing, Mito Yuge suddenly felt a little exciting, but the girl in front of her saw that the other party just silently took out his wallet, pulled out a ten-thousand yen bill, and handed it to the girl.

“Although I don’t know how much I can help you, I hope I can see your smiling face next time I come.”

Placing it on the table beside him, the wise man stood up.

"Please help me return the comics. I'm leaving now."

"..."

After staring blankly at Xianren walking out of the box, Mito Yuge came to her senses, looked at the banknotes on the table, quickly reached out and picked them up, stood up and rushed out of the box, walking towards the outside of the box, but there was no sign of Xianren.

When she arrived at the counter, she saw that he had already returned the room card and was walking towards the door.

She wanted to rush to him and ask again, "Can I see you again?", but when she thought about what he had said to her in the box just now, she couldn't help but blush.

It was so shameless of her to ask that question on her own initiative.

While she was hesitating and had no time to say goodbye to the other party, the figure of the wise man had disappeared at the door.

Cherry Blossom Season: 112. The meaning of life is to eat French fries

I took the subway home. Even though I was going very fast on the way, it was completely dark when I arrived at the door of my apartment. I reached into my pocket to find the key, pushed the door open and entered my apartment, then closed the door behind me.

He walked to the desk in the room, took out everything in his pocket and placed them on the desk. Then he casually threw his coat into the washing machine. He looked at the empty room, walked to the refrigerator, and took out a can of Coke.

Although the most popular drinks on weekdays are black tea and green tea, and occasionally a little milk, it does not mean that Xianren does not drink Coke. Considering that there may be some guests at home occasionally, he also prepared some Coke.

"what--"

He took a long breath, feeling that he was suddenly sobered up by the Coke. He put the rest on the desk and sat down on the floor, looking at his room, his mind empty.

Even if I did nothing and just sat in the comic cafe outside for a whole day, just sitting there doing nothing is still a very tiring thing. Now that I am back in my apartment, I calm down and think about it carefully, and I just feel a deep emptiness.

"Mito Yuka?"

Thinking back to the girl I met today, I felt that I was still a little artificial. It was not that I didn't have some thoughts in my heart, but those thoughts were out of that inexplicable kindness, and in the end, I did nothing.

"Does this count as—using a woman's money to support a woman?"

Feeling a little complicated, Xianren sat down at his desk again, pulled out a brand new stack of manuscript paper from the drawer, sat at the desk, thought carefully, picked up his pen, and began to write.

He is not a pure literati, but when he is shocked in his heart, he cannot help but use words to accuse some things and pour out his inner feelings.

It was just a chance encounter, but in his heart there was already a girl named "Mito Yuka". He had sympathy and pity for her life. It was because of this feeling that he had the idea of writing something at this moment.

"However, the name needs to be changed slightly, at least the surname, or perhaps the first name needs to be changed. Also, the title of the book...let's call it 'Angel with a Stigma'."

The general content of the story was to use the life story told to him by Mito Yuka as the outline, and at the same time add some artistic processing. He wrote about Mito Yuka, but it was not just Mito Yuka. He closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and then began to write...

Setsuna sat in the living room of her house, watching Kiyoura Mai peeling a tangerine.

"Setsuna, would you like to try some citrus?"

Qingpu Mai didn't care at first about being stared at by her own daughter, but after a while, she suddenly became a little unbearable. She looked at her daughter and handed half of the tangerine in her hand to her.

Because in the afternoon, he found that Kento was not at home, and he waited until the evening but still did not see him. Setsuna was feeling a little dissatisfied. There was no one else at home at the moment. Katsura Kotonoha and Saionji Sekai had already left for home in the morning, leaving only Kiyoura Mai. He could only vent his dissatisfaction of not being able to see Kento to Kiyoura Mai silently.

Her eyes fell on the tangerine. After a moment of silence, she reached out and took the tangerine handed to her by Qingpu Wu. She broke off a slice and put it in her mouth, but her eyes turned back to her mother beside her.

Qingpu Wu, who was being stared at by Qingpu Wu, felt a little embarrassed in her heart. Thinking of what Xianren and she said last night, even though Shanshan didn't say anything now, she felt a little guilty in her heart. She didn't know how to face Shanshan, and was afraid that Shanshan would suddenly mention Xianren to her.

"Has the wise man returned home?"

"I don't know either. At this hour, he should be home by now, right?"

He no longer stared at Qingpu Wu. Shanna slowly got up from the sofa and walked towards the door. When he arrived at the door, he opened it casually and saw the lights on in the apartment opposite.

Got home.

But even when he got home, he didn't come over to say hello or tell him that he was back home, which made Shanshan still feel a little dissatisfied.

"Even if two people have a very good relationship, there will always be a day when they feel bored if they stay together all the time. Maintaining a proper distance may actually help promote the relationship between the two people."

Qingpu Wu also slowly came to the door, looked at the lights on the opposite side, and began to impart her life experience to her daughter, even though this experience was only heard from others.

"And then other girls took advantage of you?"

"No... Xianren, you're not that kind of person, are you? You have to learn to trust someone."

He raised his head and stared at Qingpu Mai. Shanna didn't know if there was anyone in this world who was more trustworthy than the single mother who took care of him when he was growing up.

However, given the current situation, even if she is the mother, the correct thing to do is to remain vigilant.

"I see."

She answered softly, as if she knew nothing. Setsuna did not confront her mother and tell her about her and Kento. Perhaps Qingpu Mai would feel guilty and blame herself, but that was not the result Setsuna wanted.

Maintaining the peaceful life as it was before and now is what Setsuna hopes for.

Turning around and looking at Xianren's apartment again, Setsuna silently returned to the living room and then walked towards the bathroom. As for Qingura Mai, she watched Setsuna return to the room and looked at the apartment opposite again.

I don’t know what the wise man did today when he was not at home. I am a little curious, but it’s just a slight curiosity.

During this period, at least in the near future, she will no longer take the initiative to approach Xianren.

With a slow sigh, Qing Pu Mai withdrew her gaze and closed the door. While Setsuna was taking a shower, she sat on the sofa in the living room and quietly watched TV programs...

When the wise man stopped writing and looked at the time again, he found that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

My stomach felt empty and uncomfortable, so I put down my pen as I wanted to continue writing, walked slowly to the refrigerator, took out some udon noodles, and started cooking.

After simply filling his stomach, he sat back at his desk and looked at what he had written. He had only just written the beginning. The story starting from the campus had already taken shape in his mind, but it was already late at night and he didn't have much time to continue writing.

I have to go to school tomorrow. No matter how much I want to continue writing today, I have to consider the fact that I need to get up early tomorrow.

"Let's continue tomorrow."

He looked at the manuscript, sorted it out, and put it back in the drawer, but he put it one compartment down, pushed it up gently, and walked towards the bathroom.

Seven hours of sleep allow the wise man to feel relatively refreshed when he wakes up in the morning.

After putting on his school uniform, picking up his schoolbag, preparing his breakfast, and tidying up his room, Xianren walked out of his apartment. Not seeing the figure of Saionji Sekai when he went out made Xianren realize that he had gotten up early again today.

I was so concerned about how to continue writing, and I wanted so much to sit at the desk and continue writing the story, that I opened my eyes early.

I just glanced at the clock on the desk and found that even if I woke up earlier than usual and finished some things I needed to do, there would not be much time left. So I silently gave up the idea of continuing to write, took care of my daily life, and went out to school.

"The boyfriend I'm going to assign her next is almost ready to make his debut, but what's a good name for him?"

Xianren thought about it carefully, wondering whether he could just use his own name, but after thinking about it, that was really too... well, even he felt that it was a bit shameless. If it could really be sold later, and people knew his real name, he would probably be questioned about the authenticity of the story.

"Forget it, let's use a less familiar name. At least the surname definitely can't be used. How about a homophonic name?"

The thoughtful wise man was thinking about the story all the way, and unknowingly arrived at the school. He saw the girl who was waiting at the school gate early and was secretly looking at him.

"Good morning, Miyamizu-kun."

"Good morning, Yoshida, did you change your hairstyle?"

"Uh... well! I want to change myself a little bit..."

After hearing what Kento said, Yoshida Saki realized that the other party had noticed her change. She was overjoyed and her face showed joy. She pursed her lips, nodded happily, and told Kento that she wanted to change her mind.

"Change yourself?"

"Miyamizu-kun...are you annoying?"

"It's not that I hate it. I can see that with a little change, Yoshida-san could become quite popular."

"Welcome...me?"
