I won't be a loser.

"Thank you... Then I'll go home first."

After thanking the wise man beside him, Yoshida Saki bowed slightly and prepared to leave and go home alone.

"Is there something wrong at home?"

"No, it's just..."

"Since you have nothing else to do, why don't you go shopping with me? I'm looking for some gifts, so could you help me with some suggestions?"

"Eh? Me?"

Under Yoshida Saki's thick glasses, her eyes were filled with surprise. She didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to be with her... At the same time, it was unbelievable, and her heart was also filled with surprise.

"Can't you?"

"Of course...but, if it's just me...is it okay?"

— — — —

It feels like a cold, but not like a cold. It's uncomfortable.

Cherry Blossom Season: 127. He must not be dating anyone yet!

It had been such a long time since Kento had given Setsuna any gifts, and he hadn't thought about this issue in detail. However, when he was helping Yoshida Saki, he casually used an excuse to talk about the gift, and he suddenly became concerned about this matter.

He himself is not very good at choosing gifts, but Yoshida Saki is a girl after all, so she should be able to give some advice in this regard.

The two left the school together and walked directly to the nearby subway station, then took the subway to Shibuya.

Shinjuku and Shibuya are also places that Kento often visits. As soon as he got off the subway station and walked onto the street, he would see a surging crowd of people. Young people dressed in fashionable clothes were everywhere. Even the occasional elderly person with gray hair looked very elegant.

Yoshida Saki, who had just come out of the subway station with Kento, looked at the people around her who looked very fashionable, and suddenly felt a strong sense of inferiority in her heart. She silently moved her body closer to Kento, lowered her head, and did not dare to look at the people around her.

Feeling his arm being held tightly, he looked down at Yoshida Saki beside him. The girl's body was pressed tightly against him at the moment, and she looked very insecure, with her head lowered, as if she wanted to hide in a corner. Xianren felt a little sad, so he stretched out his hand and gently held her little hand.

A warm feeling gripped her hand tightly, causing Yoshida Saki, who had her head lowered, to slowly look down at her palm. Following the hand that was tightly gripping hers, she saw the young man beside her smiling at her.

"Yoshida-kun, you're so cute."

"Eh?"

"Come on, come with me for a stroll and see if you can find some satisfactory gifts here. I'll be troubling you, Yoshida-san."

After being praised by Kento for her cuteness, Yoshida Saki felt that her whole state became elated and she fell into a state of being unable to think for a while. She let Kento hold her hand and the two of them walked on the street. The two boys and girls in school uniforms immediately attracted the attention of some people around them.

Seeing the boy who was still fresh and refined even in ordinary school uniform, and the rustic girl with pigtails who was holding his hand, most people had some surprise and surprise in their eyes, and they were a little confused about the combination of this "prince" and "beast".

However, although they were surprised, no one would take the initiative to say anything rude to the other party. Most people just glanced at each other, then quickly retracted their gaze and continued walking forward.

Living in a city like this, not everyone has the time and energy to pay attention to people other than themselves, let alone people they don’t even know.

Even though the gazes of the people around her felt a bit piercing, Yoshida Saki no longer paid attention to other people's gazes when Kento was holding her hand. Her eyes were fixed on the back of the man who was holding her hand and walking forward. In her eyes, it seemed that he was the only one left in the world.

From the bookstore on the corner to various gift shops, and then to the women's clothing stores, the two of them visited many places, but in most places they just looked around and rarely actually spent money to buy anything.

"this is for you."

Walking out of a gift shop, Xianren handed the small wrapped paper bag in his hand to Yoshida Saki.

"Is this... for me?"

"As a thank you for helping me with the reference, I'm grateful for wasting so much of your time."

It was handed to Yoshida Saki. The girl looked at the gift and didn't know what to do. Just shopping with Xianren alone made her feel very happy, as if she was in a dream. Now he was giving her a gift -

"Take it."

"That, thank you."

Stretching out her hands and taking the gift handed to her by the wise man, Yoshida Saki looked at the boy in front of her and felt very special. This was probably one of the happiest days in her life.

"I should be the one saying thank you. If it weren't for your help and recommendations, I wouldn't have bought these suitable gifts. Well, let's stop here for today. Where do you live? It's getting late, I'll take you home."

"Hey... not far from Korakuen... I—"

"Let's go."

Holding the girl's hand again, the two rushed towards the subway station. Looking at the figure of the boy in front of him, Yoshida Saki's eyes were filled with strong and complex emotions. She lowered her head silently, followed the boy into the subway station, found an empty seat, and sat together.

It feels like a comic book.

Yoshida Saki lowered her head and held the small paper bag in her hands. It was a gift from Xianren.

She cautiously glanced at the young man next to her out of the corner of her eye, but he was staring at her with his face slightly raised, as if he was lost in thought. When she looked at him, he also noticed her, turned his head slightly, and smiled at her.

Her heartbeat suddenly started to beat faster, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she slowly lowered her head, not daring to meet the other person's gaze.

They arrived at Korakuen Station and left the subway station. The two looked at each other, Yoshida Saki said goodbye to Kento, and walked towards her home alone.

In the setting sun, Xianren looked at the girl's back as she left. He could tell that the girl seemed to be in a very good mood, and Xianren himself felt pretty good too. At least when he was with Yoshida Saki, he didn't feel any pressure at all. Moreover, he felt that she was a very cute girl.

Looking at the other person's back, Xianren gradually withdrew his gaze.

It was getting late, and he should go back to his apartment.

After separating from Yoshida Saki, he returned to his apartment. He first changed out of his school uniform and put on his casual clothes. Then he tidied up his room briefly, and then went to Kiyoura's house carrying bags of gifts.

"Gift?"

"Well, today after school, I bought some gifts. This one is for Setsuna, and this one is for you."

He took his gifts to Qingpu's house and gave Qingpu Mai's portion to her. Looking at Shanna sitting on the sofa, Xianren took her portion and put it in her arms.

"Let's see if it's suitable."

Qingura Mai looked at the dress in the paper bag. It looked fresh and fashionable, but did Xianren really know her size?

Looking at the young man in front of her with suspicion, Qingpu Mai looked at the label on the clothes and was surprised to find that the size was almost the same as her own. She looked at Xianren again, who was letting Setsuna open the gift.

As for how he knew Qing Pu Mai's clothing size, the only thing Xianren could tell Qing Pu Mai was "guess".

Things like 'because I know every information about Sayuri's body clearly, I can infer the data of Kiyoura Mai using Sayuri as a sample' are obviously not something he can tell the mature and beautiful woman in front of him. Once he tells her this reason, one can imagine what kind of exploitation he will face.

The gift for Setsuna was a bright red headband and a variety of different types of socks.

The headband is a normal gift, but the socks are the Xianren's own hobby.

When she saw the headband, Shanshan's heart was filled with surprise and joy, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face. But when she saw those dazzling socks that cost more than the headband, she fell silent.

When she looked at Xianren who was sitting next to her and smiling, a bad idea suddenly came to her mind, which was to stuff the socks in her hand into Xianren's mouth to see what expression he would have.

He suppressed his impulse and sighed helplessly.

After dinner, Xianren returned to his apartment from Qingpu's house. After taking a shower, he took the time before going to bed to sit at the desk and write some more content, which he put back in the drawer. At nine o'clock, he lay quietly on his bed and fell asleep.

"Your taste is really unique. Why are there rumors about you and Yoshida from the next class again?"

During the break, Nakano Ichika came to his desk and suddenly started talking about Yoshida Saki. Xianren, who was lying on the desk with a dazed mind, thinking about what he should write, slowly raised his head.

Facing Nakano Ichika's seemingly casual chat, but actually full of purpose, Xianren slowly sat up and looked at the girl beside him.

"I just saw her in trouble and came to her rescue. Are there already rumors spreading so quickly?"

"Oh, is it just a rumor?"

After taking a look at Nakano Ichika, Kento lay down on the table again, quietly closed his eyes, as if he was asleep. Obviously, he didn't want to continue this boring topic. Nakano Ichika slowly bent down, stretched out her finger, and gently poked Kento's cheek.

"Anything else?"

Without opening his eyes, he spoke. Nakano Ichika stared at the boy in front of him, retracted his finger, and asked Xianren about his plans and arrangements after school today.

"Do you have time to go shopping with me?"

"I suggest you go with Nino and the others. I don't have time today. I have things I need to do."

"You're so cold. You used to be so enthusiastic towards me."

Xianren slowly opened his right eye, squinted his eyes a little, and stared at Nakano Ichika who was pretending to be sad beside him.

"We'll talk about it later when we have time. I probably won't have much time in the next two months."

"We've only known each other for half a month."

"More than half a month, to be exact."

"For two months, you... went to work?"

Looking at Kento, Ichika Nakano couldn't help but think of one thing. Kento lives alone in Tokyo, and the living expenses and various expenses should be quite high. The word "part-time job" naturally emerged in her mind.

I don't know why Nakano Ichika suddenly thought of working part-time, but Xianren, who was lying on the table, thought about it carefully. He wrote books for royalties and living expenses, and the difference between that and working part-time doesn't seem to be that big?

"Ah."

“…Where is it?”

"Black Swan Hostess at Kabukicho 1-chome in Shinjuku. If you need anything, just ask 'Mr. Loren' and he'll be there for you."

"Ok?"

Nakano Ichika looked at Kento with confusion. Seeing him skillfully recite a series of addresses and store names, as well as the flower name, she couldn't help but wonder whether the man in front of her really worked in a host bar.

"Really?"

"He just has some personal matters to take care of. It's similar to Nozaki behind me. Doesn't he also go home early every day?"

His eyes turned to Nozaki Umetaro who was sitting behind Kento. Nozaki Umetaro, who had always been taciturn, slowly raised his head after hearing Kento's words and looked at Nakano Ichika.

Seeing that somewhat dull expression, Nakano Ichika was silent for a moment, and then she turned her gaze back to Xianren.

"Okay, let's go shopping together sometime."

It was almost time for class, and Nakano Ichika quietly left and returned to her seat. As for Nozaki Umetaro, he turned his gaze to the wise man sitting in front of him.

All sorts of thoughts flooded through his mind, but after a long silence, he didn't say anything. He lowered his head again and began to sketch again on the white paper on his desk...

"Are you dating a girl?"

At noon, when accompanying Futaba Rio in the laboratory, the girl in the white lab coat suddenly said something that made Xianren, who was eating his lunch box with his head down, slowly raise his head and look at the girl wearing glasses.

When he raised his head to look at the other person, the girl's eyes suddenly wandered and she looked away for some reason.

"You heard the rumors too?"

"Well, they say you're dating a girl named Yoshida, and then some people say you're dating other girls too. It seems like you're threesomers."

"Three ships? That would be Nakano, Sawamura, and the Yoshida you mentioned."

Xianren just thought about the girls he interacted with more often, and he guessed who the three people the other party was talking about were.

"We're just close friends. Sawamura is someone I've known for a long time, but I never thought we'd meet again."

This could be considered an encounter across time and space. On this point, Xianren wanted to ask Futaba Rio whether it was possible to travel through time and space in quantum physics, but he felt that this question was a bit inappropriate, so he decided to stay and wait until there was a suitable opportunity to ask her in the future.

"Nakano is a friend I just met at the beginning of the school year. He has a cheerful personality, so we get along well. We're usually quite close, so that's why there are rumors."

He was aware of what Nakano Ichika felt for him, but he always felt that Nakano Ichika was not the right person. Besides, since he already had Setsuna, Kento didn't have any special feelings for her.

"As for Yoshida, I met her by chance. I saw her in a bit of trouble yesterday and helped her out, so I guess she got misunderstood."

"Because you helped others, you were misunderstood?"

Looking at the boy in front of her, who had a calm and smiling face, Futaba Rio felt a little relieved. From what he said, it sounded like he didn't have anyone in a relationship yet...

I just like mature women, so I was called "matriarchal A Tian"

Thanks to Miss Yingliang, Qiuyue Xiaosan@, Yuebanjun, Jiu. for their monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

Cherry Blossom Season: 128. Don't get me wrong, she is definitely not his girlfriend

A misunderstanding arose because of helping others. This happened to Kento. Even if Futaba Rio wanted to help, she really couldn't do much.

She is almost invisible in the class and has few friends in school. The only person she can talk to is Xianren in front of her. In this situation, even if she wants to explain something to Xianren, there is no one to explain to.

"Even though it's a misunderstanding, it's not a bad thing. This face is still very pleasing, right? If it can avoid some trouble, there's nothing wrong with it."

"It's an irrefutable fact."

Futaba Rio also felt the same way. It was natural for her to be welcomed with her sage appearance. She was completely different from someone with a dark personality. Her gentle smile could easily capture the hearts of most innocent girls.

After hearing what Kento said, Futaba Rio suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for Kento to be misunderstood.
