I won't be a loser.

There was no need to identify the other person too much. Just by looking at the other person's height, Futaba Rio felt that there should be no other person in the entire Fengzhizaki.

"The girl who confessed to Xianren?"

Staring at the two figures walking away towards the school gate, Rio Futaba, who was standing at the laboratory window, suddenly had a gloomy expression on her face. Her frown seemed to be anxious and thinking about something. After a moment, she took off her lab coat and left the laboratory.

When they arrived at the school gate, Xianren looked at Feng Xiaochun who was standing beside him.

"Has the driver not arrived yet?"

"I told him to come a little later, but he should be here soon."

The girl stretched out her arms and gently held Xianren's arm. She slowly raised her head from under her hood and looked at Xianren beside her. She actually wanted to be with Xianren more than to separate like this and return to her home.

But there is no way, Xianren is dating someone now, and he will obviously pay more attention to the other person than being with her.

Looking at Xianren beside her, the girl made a vague decision in her heart. After waiting for a while, the shuttle arrived. She quietly let go of her hands, said goodbye to Xianren, got on the driver's car, and left the gate of Fengzhizaki campus.

The wise man who stayed where he was, looked at the car driving away, and his mind suddenly fell into thinking about when he would take the driving test again, and when he had some free time, he would buy a car for transportation.

"But it takes at least two years to get a driver's license until you're 18, and..."

The traffic conditions in Tokyo are like alleys, and there are all kinds of pedestrians. In less crowded places like Itomori, driving is relatively easy. But in a city like Tokyo, driving suddenly becomes a very troublesome thing.

If you are in a hurry to get to work, you might as well take the subway or tram.

Thinking about the future, Xianren, standing at the school gate, for a moment forgot about going home, until a hand fell on his shoulder, pulling him back to reality from his scattered thoughts.

He looked at the white and tender back of the hand on his shoulder, slowly turned around and looked behind him. Seeing Futaba Rio who was not wearing a lab coat, Xianren's eyes showed deep surprise.

"what happened?"

"No, I was just a little surprised to see you without a lab coat. Well, it's a little different from usual, but it suits you very well and you look pretty good."

"Thank you. What's going on this afternoon?"

"I?"

Looking at Futaba Rio who suddenly appeared beside him, and hearing her suddenly asking about his afternoon schedule, Xianren, who didn't have anything special to deal with, was seldom seeing Futaba Rio asking so proactively. He thought about it and shook his head slightly.

"Nothing important. When I get home, I basically just spend time in my room, reading a book... Is there something wrong?"

"Well, something's going on. It's a little inconvenient for me to go out alone. It would be a little better if there were two of us. Do you mind going out with me?"

Futaba Rio's face remained as calm as usual, but her nervous breathing became lighter.

The wise man who was being watched suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure. He looked carefully at the physics genius girl in front of him, but he couldn't read any information from her face. He nodded slowly.

"no problem."

noon.

Kiyoura Setsuna and Saionji Sekai went home together after school, but because no one was at home, Saionji Sekai was too lazy to go back home. She followed Setsuna to Kento's door, but found that the door of Kento's apartment was tightly closed and he had not returned yet.

Standing on the balcony, Sekai Saionji turned her head to look at Setsuna beside her.

"It seems he hasn't returned home yet. Don't you have a key to his apartment?"

"No."

"Well, speaking of which, Xianren seemed to have told me that the key was sent back to his hometown, to his mother and sister?"

Shanna looked at the world around her. She knew nothing about this matter yet. She had not asked too many questions about the key in her daily life. She was waiting for Xianren to hand her the spare key personally. Now...

I felt a little unhappy, but I couldn't blame the world around me. I looked quietly at the door in front of me.

"Since he hasn't come back yet, let's go first. He might not be back until the evening. Should we give him a call first?"

"Ah."

Noticing that Setsuna's mood was a little low, Saionji Sekai didn't dare to talk about the wise man in front of Setsuna anymore and quietly changed the subject.

The two of them stopped for a moment at the door of Xianren's apartment, and then returned to Qingpu's house together. Instantly contacted Xianren -

Kento, who was sitting next to Futaba Rio on the subway, suddenly felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. He reached out to take the phone out and saw a familiar call. He turned his head to glance at Futaba Rio beside him, and then answered the call.

Futaba Rio noticed Kento's actions and knew that someone had contacted him. She didn't say anything and sat quietly aside, but her breathing became slow again. She wanted to try to eavesdrop on Kento's phone calls with others, out of pure curiosity.

"I haven't gone home yet."

After the call was connected, a familiar tone of voice came from the other end. There was no impatience in the clear and soft voice, but Xianren could feel that Shanna was unhappy.

"Yeah, I'm still outside, with my friends."

"girl?"

"Ah."

"When are you going home?"

"It should be around this time in the afternoon."

Glancing at Rio Futaba who was staring at an advertisement beside him seemingly casually, Xianren felt that the two of them would be back home by evening at the latest.

"I see."

"Well, is there anything else?"

"We don't have much spare stock at home. When you come back, remember to buy more. Be prepared."

After the steady voice ended, Setsuna ended the conversation with a sentence that made Xianren's face change slightly, and then hung up the phone.

- - - -

I like elves who are still in their developmental stage, but are they considered O-refining when they are already 4,50 or years old?

Thanks to Jiong Qing-, Linglong Dice An Hongdou for the monthly tickets and blades! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes!

Cherry Blossom Season: 140. Xianren is innocent, it's my own fault

The sound of their conversation was not deliberately restrained, and even without hands-free mode, it was very clear in the quiet subway car. The girl sitting next to Xianren didn't have too many thoughts after hearing the conversation between Xianren and Setsuna.

After Xianren hung up the phone, he slowly turned his head to look at Xianren beside him, watched him put the phone into his pocket, and asked softly.

"family?"

"Hmm? Yeah, family."

Facing Futaba Rio's question, Xianren thought about it and felt that with Setsuna's relationship, it would be fine to call him family, so he nodded and acknowledged it.

Looking at Kento beside her, Futaba Rio also remembered that Kento seemed to have a younger sister at home. She didn't know why the other party suddenly called Kento at this time. She remembered that Kento's sister should be in Gifu, which is very far away.

I was a little confused, but seeing that we were about to arrive at the station, I didn't think too much about it. When we arrived at the station, I left the car with Xianren and came to Shinjuku.

He followed Futaba Rio out of the station, quietly following her side as the two of them headed toward the bustling streets near Shinjuku...

"She's with other girls. She might not be back until night."

The moment he hung up the phone, his face expressionless, he quietly put his phone aside, turned his head to look at Saionji Sekai who was standing not far from him, and told her the news he had just learned.

Saionji Sekai, who was standing nearby, also heard clearly what Setsuna and Kento had just said, and the expression on her face was a little unnatural.

It might not be appropriate to say this from her perspective, but seeing Setsuna calmly accepting Kento going out and shopping with other girls, it was still a little hard for Saionji Sekai to understand.

"Well, what should we do? Are we just going to wait at home until he comes back in the evening?"

Although it was only a matter of a few hours, waiting for several hours at home with Setsuna was too boring for Saionji Sekai. Saionji Sekai sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, put them on the ground, and looked up at the ceiling.

Setsuna looked at Saionji Sekai's reaction and said nothing. She quietly returned to her room. She needed to make some preparations.

Hearing Setsuna's footsteps, she turned around and glanced towards Setsuna's room. Saiyuanji Sekai also stood up and followed Setsuna into her room...

Standing on the street looking at the surrounding shops and the dazzling array of goods in those shops, Xianren looked around but didn't see anything he wanted. He looked at Futaba Rio, who was also different from usual. She was looking at the surrounding shops and seemed to be thinking about something.

"What are you going to buy?"

"In May, the weather will gradually get warmer. Take a look at summer clothes, and... just take a look."

Facing Futaba Rio who was looking at him sideways, Kento himself didn't have any clothes to buy. What he had in his closet was enough. As for summer clothes, it would be okay to consider it when summer comes.

Accompanying Futaba Rio into the women's clothing store, the clerk looked at Xianren who accompanied Futaba Rio into the store without much surprise, and carefully recommended the most popular clothes to Futaba Rio.

"How about this one?"

"Ok?"

Xianren, who was in a daze, heard the voice of Futaba Rio beside him and turned to look at her. The girl was holding a pure white short dress in her hand, which looked very beautiful. After comparing it carefully with Futaba Rio in front of him, it seemed that she would look good in it as well?

"suitable for you."

Nodding, Futaba Rio handed the clothes to the clerk and asked her to help pick out one that fits her size and pack it separately.

"Um, Miyamizu-kun?"

The weak and familiar voice made Xianren, who was shopping with Futaba Rio in the store, prick up his ears slightly and look back in the direction of the voice.

His eyes were attracted by the abundant fruits. He paused and looked at the familiar face of the other party. When he saw the girl who called out his name, Xianren couldn't help but be surprised.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Is Katsura out shopping today?"

"Sister, who is he, your boyfriend?"

"Heart!"

Looking at the little hand held by Gui Yanye, there is a little girl who looks similar to her next to Gui Yanye. She seems to have misunderstood the relationship between her and Gui Yanye, or she may just be teasing her own sister.

"Your sister?"

"Well, her name is Guixin."

Looking at the girl with lively eyes, whose personality seemed completely different from that of Katsura Kotonoha, he smiled slightly.

The smile was like the sunshine in spring, shining into the heart of the young girl, making Guixin immediately feel a great liking for Xianren.

"Hello, Miyamizu Kento, your sister's friend."

He stretched out his hand towards the little girl, and the little girl also extended her little hand generously and gently shook hands with the sage. The little girl's fair and tender skin felt like a soft sponge when he gently held it. The sage looked at the little girl and let go of his hand.

"You... aren't with Setsuna?"

Looking at the boy in front of her, Katsura Yanye hesitated for a moment. Looking at the strange girl next to Kento, she slowly started talking about Setsuna.

Futaba Rio looked at the strange woman, somewhat concerned, but remained silent.

"Setsuna is at home. Today I am accompanying my friend and going shopping with her."

“…I see.”

Looking at Katsura Kotonoha who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Xianren smiled slightly, without explaining anything to her specifically, and turned to look at Futaba Rio beside him.

"This is Katsura Kotonoha, my girlfriend's classmate."

"......"

There was a slight fluctuation in her eyes. Futaba Rio bit her lips slightly to calm her turbulent mood. She looked at the girl in front of her, managed to control her mood, and nodded to greet her.

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two nodded to each other without any unnecessary conversation. Futaba Rio looked at the boy next to her.

"Since I've met someone I know, I can handle the rest by myself. You... don't have to accompany me anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, Futaba Rio walked towards the counter. Her hurried footsteps made Xianren look at Katsura Kotonoha. There was no ill intention on his part, but Katsura Kotonoha felt a little embarrassed and guilty when she saw the girl's reaction.

"that....."

"I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying goodbye to Katsura Kotonoha, Kento hurriedly chased after Futaba Rio who was about to leave.

When they arrived at the counter, Futaba Rio had just taken out her wallet and was about to pay, while Xianren slowed down his pace slightly, came to the girl's side, and stopped.

After hearing the unpleasant news, Futaba Rio felt like a fool. She wanted to hate Kento, but she felt that that would only be taking her anger out on him. When she heard the approaching footsteps, she gradually raised her head. Seeing the familiar person and the familiar face, she slowly lowered her head.

"Didn't I already tell you that you don't have to accompany me from now on?"

"We've already agreed to go shopping together. It would be irresponsible to leave you alone like this."

Futaba Rio silently handed the money to the cashier, took the receipt and shopping bag, held them in her hands, and walked slowly outside. Xianren looked at the girl and quietly followed her out of the store.

The two sat down in a quiet family restaurant. Futaba Rio lowered her head and did not look at Xianren who was sitting opposite her. Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what she was talking about with the other party.

"Are you curious?"

"What do you mean?"
