I won't be a loser.

Seeing Futaba Rio suddenly fall silent, Kento smiled and changed the subject.

At the end of lunch break, Kento left the laboratory. Futaba Rio, who stayed behind, watched Kento's back as he left. She stood silently in the laboratory, looking down at the little thing that Kento had just flicked at. She stretched out her hand and slowly brought it in front of her.

Staring at her reflection in the transparent cup, she let out a low sigh...

On the way home from school, Xianren observed the girl following him out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know what was going on with her. She had said that she had something to go home for, but she still followed him.

"........"

Xianren wanted to say something to the other party, but felt that it would have no effect. So he walked silently to his apartment and came to the door. Looking at the blonde girl with twin ponytails still following behind him, he sighed and spoke slowly.

"what's the matter?"

"If there's nothing wrong, can't I come here?"

"of course can."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xianren opened the door, walked into the house, and quickly closed the door. Eriri was caught off guard. Just as she reached the door, she was met with a "bang". The door closed in front of her eyes.

The girl stared blankly at the closed door in front of her, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief. After a moment, she came to her senses, her face suddenly full of shame and anger. She stretched out her white and tender pink fist and pounded hard on the door.

Dong-dong-dong——

The wise man standing in the house glanced towards the door, knowing that once he opened the door, the girl at the door would enter his apartment and attack him in all aspects. So he simply pretended not to hear and sat down silently at the desk.

Ying Lili outside the door hammered hard, but found that there was no movement in the house for a long time. Instead, her hands were hurt from hammering. She couldn't help but bite her lips, revealing her sharp little fangs.

"Humph--"

Taking note of the fact that the other party had locked her out, Ying Lili didn't continue knocking and turned around and left in a depressed mood.

All of a sudden, everything became quiet. Xianren sat quietly at the desk with his eyes closed. After everything became quiet, he opened them silently, opened his drawer with his right hand, and continued to create.

I had dinner at Qingpu's house. I forgot the time at the desk and kept writing until after six o'clock. Because I felt dizzy, I slowly raised my head and noticed that it was already dark. There was no time to prepare dinner, so I went directly to Qingpu's house and had dinner. In return, I helped to clean up the table and tableware.

After staying in Setsuna's room for a while, Xianren left Qingpu's house and returned to his apartment. After resting for a while, he was in a very rational and sober state. He wrote some more content, took a shower, and lay down on his bed early to fall asleep.

On Friday, there was nothing special to do at school. I sat quietly in my seat and finished the morning class. I avoided Eriri who wanted to cause trouble for me and hid in Futaba Rio's laboratory. I chatted with the girl for a while. After lunch break, I returned to the classroom reluctantly. Feeling Eriri's gaze on me, Kento turned a blind eye.

When school was over, Kento, who had already prepared himself, quickly left the classroom, leaving Eriri to sulk and stare at his back, while Hinami Aoi looked at Eriri, not knowing what had happened between them.

I'm curious, but I feel like I might be stepping on a landmine.

Hinami Aoi decisively chose to pretend not to see it, and quietly followed Eriri out of the school.

When he returned home, Xianren saw Saionji Sekai squatting at the door of his apartment. He took a look, but there was only the girl squatting quietly at his door, and he did not see Setsuna.

"As for Setsuna, she should be at home now. I came here after we separated. But, didn't you give Setsuna a spare key?"

"I sent it back to Itomori so that my family wouldn't be unable to even get through the door when they come to visit me."

"That's it."

Looking at the wise man in front of him, Saionji Sekai raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him silently.

Xianren faced Xiyuanji Shijie's gaze without thinking about what the other party was thinking. He came to the door, opened it with the key, and entered the house. As soon as he closed the door, Xiyuanji Shijie couldn't wait to hug Xianren -

Saionji Sekai and Setsuna are different types. Compared to Setsuna who was only proactive at the beginning, Saionji Sekai has always been proactive. Even if he is a little clumsy, he is still trying hard to make Xianren satisfied.

It feels very special, different from Sayuri, Setsuna, and Kiyoura Mai.

Everyone has their own characteristics.

When it was almost dark, Xiancai slowly got up and prepared dinner. He asked Saionji Sekai to stay with him and then sent her home after dinner.

During this time, Setsuna came to Kento's apartment and saw Sekai Saionji appear in Kento's room.

"Mom asked me to call you to dinner, but it seems that it is not necessary now."

"Ah."

Looking at Saionji Sekai, Setsuna sighed, said nothing, and quietly left Xianren's apartment, leaving Saionji Sekai a little embarrassed.

Even if everyone knows some things in their hearts, when they are discovered, Saionji Sekai still feels guilty, as if she had stolen someone's favorite cake and was caught on the spot. She just sat on the bed dejectedly until Setsuna left.

It was not until the end of dinner, when he sent her home and said goodbye to Xianren, that Saionji Sekai seemed to be in a better mood.

Watching Saionji Sekai enter the house, the wise man standing under the streetlight slowly walked towards his home...

Nino walked out of the bathroom, wearing a thin shirt, with some water droplets on her snow-white thighs. She didn't care at all. She wiped her long hair with a towel and came to the living room, where she heard May's unhappy voice.

"Even so, it's not a good idea for him to come to our house alone."

"If it's Miyamizu-kun, I have no problem with that!"

"Four Leaves!"

"I... don't have any ideas, but there are only girls in the house, and it feels... inappropriate for him to come here alone."

"Look, Miku doesn't think it's appropriate either!"

"When he comes over, I'll show him to my room, so I won't disturb you."

"You... don't want to do it with him... at home?"

"what?"

Even Ichika herself was surprised by May's words. She stared at her blankly. She had not expected to hear such a stimulating answer from her sister. She had never thought about this matter at all, and her face suddenly turned red with shyness and anger. The look in her eyes when she looked at May also became unfriendly.

May, knowing that she had spoken out of turn, couldn't help but feel embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.

"Ichika and Miyamizu aren't dating, how could it be so easy to just jump to that step? You're thinking too much, May."

It was Miku who rescued May. She looked at Ichika and backed down immediately. What May said just now was too much. If she didn't back down and satisfy Ichika, there would probably be some resentment. And this kind of thing happening because of a boy was not what Miku wanted to see.

"Then, tomorrow, you take care of yourself."

Miku stood up and seemed to be preparing to go back to her room. Yotsuba looked at Miku, then at Mayu and Ichika, and found that Nino had come out of the bathroom and into the living room at some point.

"Nino."

"Were you talking about Miyamizu? Is he coming to the house tomorrow?"

Satsuki was silent, looking at Nino and then at Ichika.

"Yes, I invited him to come over tomorrow to teach me some math. I did very poorly on the test, so I asked him to help. Is that okay?"

Nino, who also had poor grades, couldn't help but frown. If it was just about studying, there would be no problem, and asking someone for tutoring was a very normal thing. But when the person invited was Miyamizu Kento, and it was Ichika who invited him, then the nature of the matter was a little different.

"There has never been a boy in our house. Do we want him to come to our house now?"

"I'll just let him go to my room and won't cause you any trouble."

"...You can let him come over, but not in your room. If it's just for tutoring, and our grades aren't that good, then we can study together in the living room."

Looking at Ichika, Nino's eyes swept over Yotsuba and Satsuki in the living room. Miku had just left and there were only four people here. As soon as she finished speaking, Yotsuba's expression became stiff. As for Satsuki, she understood Nino's thoughts, but felt a little resistant.

If it was a normal private tutor, she might not have a problem, but when a boy of the same age and in the same class as her tutors her...she can't help but feel some resistance in her heart.

"I don't want it! He's our age, and even in the same class. This... I hate this kind of thing."

"I...wahaha...or that...no need for that?"

Looking at Yotsuba and May who were obviously resisting, Nino did not show any dissatisfaction. Just a few words made Yotsuba helpless and May fell silent.

"What do you think would happen if Dad saw our grades? We weren't doing so well back in middle school, and we barely managed to get into Toyosaki thanks to Dad's connections. But if we continue like this, what will Dad think of us?"

Even Yotsuba was well aware of her poor grades, and Sotsuki knew it too. Deep down, it wasn't that she didn't want to improve, but she always deceived herself, believing that as long as she worked hard, she would get good grades. Then, she immersed herself in variety shows and magazines again and again, and only when she saw her own grades did she remember the vow she had made...

Yotsuba is similar to May, but she is more absorbed in comics than May and never thinks about her grades.

"..."

"Well......"

Yotsuba and Mayu looked at each other, sighed helplessly, then glanced at Ichika who was leaning on the sofa with his hands, looking at them, and nodded.

"It seems like it's fun to be taught by Miyamizu-kun. I'm fine~"

"Let me make it clear first, I don't think he can help us improve our grades much. I just want to study on my own so you don't have to worry about me."

Seeing the two people agreeing immediately, Nino looked at Ichika.

"Just studying, right?"

"Yeah, just studying~"

"Anyway, since you've invited someone to your home, remember to clean up your own room first. Otherwise, if someone accidentally sees you, they'll probably become disillusioned with you."

"I know~"

Ichika looked at Nino with a smile. She didn't expect Nino to stand beside her and speak for her. She was a little surprised and surprised, but also a little happy. She was looking forward to what expression and reaction Kento would have when he came to her house tomorrow.

"And what about Miku? We're all studying in the living room, what should she do?"

"......"

Yotsuba seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly raised her hand and picked up Miku who had just left. She looked at Nino and Ichika, while May glanced at Yotsuba. She didn't expect that she actually wanted to drag Miku into the water... Is she a devil?

Regarding this, Nino glanced at Yotsuba and smiled slightly.

"Then leave it to Yotsuba to tell Miku that there will be a study session in the living room tomorrow."

"Eh, me?"

Pointing at herself, Yotsuba was stunned.

- - - -

I dreamed that a girl confessed to me, and then I woke up, all of a sudden.

Thanks to Princess Moon, Cat Nine Lives Only One Heart, Aliang Benliang, and Somarez for their monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

Cherry Blossom Season: 121. The name is Nino, not Nino.

The cold water splashed on his face, and the wise man felt much more awake. He sat in his room, looking at the refrigerator. It should be time to prepare breakfast, but he didn't really want to do it.

Unlike when I lived at home, where I had my grandmother, mother, and occasionally Mitsuha to help me prepare breakfast, now that I live alone in Tokyo, I have to prepare breakfast myself every day. There are breakfast stalls outside, but they are not cheap. Relatively speaking, it is more appropriate to prepare it myself.

For some reason, at this moment, the image of Sayuri wearing a black and white maid dress appeared in Xianren's mind.

The expression on his face paused slightly, and the wise man stood up and prepared his breakfast.

"Next time I'll have to prepare to buy a toaster."

It is too troublesome to prepare breakfast by yourself every day. A cheap toaster is not very expensive. After buying one, you only need to have bread at home and bake the bread in the toaster every morning, which can save a lot of time.

Xianren sat at the table, quietly having breakfast and drinking miso soup, with a numb expression on his face, both towards life and the fact that he had to go to school on Saturday.

He placed the dishes in the sink, ready to clean up when he returned. After covering the remaining food with plastic wrap and putting it in the refrigerator, Xianren left his apartment and looked at Sekai Saionji standing across the street, staring at her legs for a while.

"Xianren...what are you looking at?"

Xiyuanji World's face was a little red with embarrassment. She noticed the gaze of Xianren and felt a little worried in her heart, worried that Xianren might be planning to have sex with her at this time...

"Hmm? Nothing much. Setsuna still not up?"

The legs stretched straight in front of him made Xianren inevitably think of that day, with his twitching and trembling legs. He felt a little subtle. After hearing the question from Saionji Sekai, he slowly retracted his somewhat "obscene" gaze and looked at Saionji Sekai's face in front of him.

Asking about Setsuna was actually just a simple change of subject. When he saw Saionji Sekai standing here, Xianren already knew that Setsuna might have gotten up but had not yet gone out.

"He should have gotten up, but he hasn't left the house yet."

"Don't you want to go up and see her?"

"Well... never mind."

Saionji Sekai didn't really want to meet Kiyoura Mai, but it wasn't that she disliked or averse to her. She just felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she was with someone older than her.

"Well, you continue, I'm going to school first."

He didn't quite understand Saionji Sekai, who always waited for Setsuna outside instead of going to the Kiyoura family's house and waiting for Setsuna to wake up. But since it was her own wish, Xianren was not going to interfere too much.

As usual, after simply greeting Saionji Sekai, Xianren walked towards the school, leaving Saionji Sekai alone and continuing to wait for Setsuna to come out.

Looking at the figure of Xianren leaving, Saionji Sekai couldn't help but sigh, raised her head, and looked at the apartment behind her. She didn't know when Setsuna would be able to go out a little earlier...

Xianren arrived at the classroom and just sat down. He felt a sense of incongruity from inside his desk. He looked at the other people who had just arrived in the classroom. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his desk. He saw a pure white letter inside. He slowly picked it up, took a look, and felt the thickness of the envelope. He silently opened the envelope and took a look at what was inside the envelope.

It wasn't money, which made him feel a little regretful, but when he looked at it carefully, it seemed so familiar.

"photo?"

He picked it up and took a look, and found that there were some photos inside. He pulled out one and took a look. It was a photo of him walking home from school.

"..."
