I won't be a loser.

Feng Xiaochun, wearing a shrine maiden's costume, came and sat down next to Futaba Rio. Xianren glanced at his wife and poured her a cup of tea.

"Amusement between husband and wife?"

Glancing at Feng Xiaochun's shrine maiden costume, Futaba Rio looked at Xianren expressionlessly.

"Well."

"Hmm~"

Futaba Rio did not express any opinion. An ambiguous hum made Feng Xiaochun look at the girl next to him. Xianren felt that if the two of them just sat here, some trouble might arise. His eyes suddenly became vague and he thought about how to deal with the current situation.

Under normal circumstances, a wise man would not allow two women who have a relationship with him to meet each other. The relationship between Kiyoura Setsuna and Saionji Sekai is an exception among exceptions.

"You invited me here just to witness the harmony of your relationship?"

"No, it's just that few people know about our relationship. Plus, since we didn't have a wedding, the number of people who know about our relationship is even smaller. I'm afraid Chunwai and I are the only ones here, and only her parents know about this place. Now there's one more person, you."

"The fifth person?"

"Because no one knows about this place, it's always been very quiet. Even Haru and I don't come here often."

"So you called me?"

"You're the only one who knows about our relationship, so Haru asked me to contact you and come here as a guest."

"It's not a very pleasant perk at all."

Feng Xiaochun sat quietly aside, his eyes fixed on Futaba Rio beside him, while Futaba Rio also looked at the girl in the shrine maiden costume beside him from time to time. Her smaller body, coupled with the pure shrine maiden costume, gave people a very special feeling and looked very cute.

She did understand a little about the reason why Xianren was attracted to her, but she was not much worse than her. Even Xianren's special hobbies were not unknown to her.

"Is Miko costume your new quirk?"

"No, it's just that Haru said that since we were the first guests to arrive, we had to be more formal, so I put on this dress."

"You don't like it?"

"It's okay, not annoying at all."

"That's what I like."

Futaba Rio looked from Xianren to the girl beside her, Feng Xiaochun, who had not spoken much since entering the house.

"So, the person who actually invited me here wasn't Xianren, but you?"

"Ah."

Feng Xiaochun answered softly, appearing very calm.

"Purpose? You're not just letting me see you two have a harmonious relationship, so I can withdraw and leave Xianren's side, right?"

"No, I know about you and Xianren. I've known your relationship for a long time, so I won't bring up those boring things. I just want to invite you to come over."

Looking at the two women sitting together, there was always an illusion that someone was staring at them. Xianren was standing in the living room. Seeing the two of them chatting, he moved his feet slightly away, thinking of sitting somewhere farther away for a while to avoid being noticed by the two of them.

"where are you going?"

"A wise man."

But not long after he walked, both of them called out his name, forcing the wise man to stop and feel tortured as he was caught in the middle.

I thought the topic would be very sharp, but I didn't expect that the topic discussed by the two women was not that sensitive. When they sat together, the first thing they talked about was him, such as what they liked about him and why they liked him.

"Although I'm a little sentimental and a little hesitant, I still like you."

Feng Xiaochun's answer was very truthful, leaving Xianren speechless for a moment, unable to refute anything, while Futaba Rio was even more straightforward.

"Because he is the only one who stays with me, I like him."

"What about someone else?"

"I don't know, but the person who appeared beside me was a sage, so the person I like is only a sage."

The answers from both of them were too real, so Xianren didn't know how to deal with it. He just sat there in silence. After a long time, the topic of their conversation shifted from him to things like school and housing.

Feng Xiaochun and Xianren are both planning to finish their studies this year and go to university next year. Futaba Rio is in her second year of high school, and in fact, many prestigious universities have already extended olive branches to her and invited her to study there.

Futaba Rio is a genius, perhaps it is because of this that Feng Xiaochun took the initiative to contact her.

Thanks to the endless blade here! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes!

Everyone's Wise: 363. Mr. Miyamizu, please answer this question.

Being treated as a guest, especially by Kento, made Futaba Rio feel a rather strange feeling. It couldn't be said to be annoying, but it was indeed a bit uncomfortable.

The communication with Feng Xiaochun seemed to be relatively smooth, but both of them maintained a very obvious sense of distance. In terms of topics of conversation, they were limited to aspects that would not involve themselves, such as things they liked or things they were good at, which neither of them would take the initiative to talk about.

Not evaluating each other's hobbies and interests is probably the greatest restraint the two can exert on themselves.

If two people would never have any contact with each other under normal circumstances, they would have some interactions only because of the sage, but they would not become friends just because of the sage's relationship.

Futaba Rio has a rather cold personality and doesn't take the initiative to interact with others, while Feng Xiaochun's personality is similar. He is not cold, but rather more quiet and withdrawn. In school, he has some people he can communicate with because he is cute.

Feng Xiaochun decided to invite Futaba Rio on a whim. Even Feng Xiaochun didn't completely like quietness and didn't know anyone here, so she thought about who she could invite. The first person she thought of was someone who knew her relationship with Xianren and would not cause trouble.

After much thought, only Futaba Rio can meet these conditions.

“What are the apartment prices here?”

"12."

The numbers that Feng Xiaochun uttered were probably numbers that an average family could not obtain even if they worked hard for their entire lives. The disparity in the world also made Futaba Rio's eyes slightly sober.

He glanced at Feng Xiaochun beside him, and then at Xianren who was sitting not far away, pouring juice into a goblet and swaying as if he was tasting fine wine. He knew that given Xianren's situation, it was absolutely impossible for him to buy such an apartment.

At noon, Kento prepared lunch. The three of them sat at the dining table and had lunch together. In the afternoon, around three o'clock, Kento left with Futaba Rio.

"Is it okay?"

Standing in the elevator, Futaba Rio looked at Xianren beside her.

"It's ok."

Anyway, if he left now, Feng Xiaochun might be hiding in some room eavesdropping on his and her conversation. He sighed in his heart. Even if he knew, Xianren didn't care much to be honest.

It has become a part of his daily life, so what is there to worry about?

"Anyway, I still have to go back to accompany my sister tonight, so even if I leave now, she will understand why I'm leaving. I'm sorry for making you go out of your way today and come here... I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."

"I didn't feel embarrassed at all, just a little surprised. I had never thought about getting married at the time, but when I found out you were getting married, I was still a little shocked... Even now, it still feels a little unbelievable."

Looking at the wise man beside her, Futaba Rio thought of the conversation she had with Feng Xiaochun at that time.

Both of them probably fell in love with Xianren just because of an accident, and that was all. Even now, after knowing Xianren's complicated emotional relationship, they are not ready to let go.

From the perspective of feelings for Xianren, the two were on equal footing, but she lost.

In fact, Futaba Rio was not willing to accept this in her heart.

But at this moment, no matter how unwilling she was to accept something, once she said it out loud, it sounded like the cry of a defeated dog. Her eyes were clear and bright, confirming that even if she lost, it was only a temporary loss.

As time passed, she no longer believed that Xianren and Feng Xiaochun's relationship could last forever, so she waited for an opportunity to appear. She was sure that she could...

"You look very tired today. Is it that hard?"

Seeing Sanye, who had returned home and was kneeling at the table, completely burned out, Xianren poured her a cup of tea and then looked at the expression on her face.

He lay on the table with his eyes wide open and his mouth open like a dead fish, his mouth opening and closing unconsciously.

"Aba, Aba, Aba Aba, Ababa, Ba..."

"Be normal."

"Wasn't it hard when you were in private school?"

"It depends on what you're comparing it to. After going through the responsibilities and pressures of life, and then getting back into that position, it doesn't seem that difficult anymore."

After a pause, the wise man explained.

"Of course, studying is still very difficult, but in the face of despair, an opportunity to cross the class barrier is presented to you. If you don't want to sink completely, then you can only grasp at that single straw. No matter how painful it is, you can't let go."

"Can't you let go?"

"Of course you can let go, but you'll be swept downstream by the turbulent current. If you want to climb back up and reach the clean upstream, you have to keep working hard. Once you slack off, you'll just repeat the cycle."

Of course, it is possible that a random hand on the shore will fiddle with it, and no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain, and he will not tell his sister.

Facing his sister who was lost in deep thought, Xianren went to prepare dinner.

After dinner, Xianren sat at the desk and watched the news. Mitsuha was not interested in the news at all, but seeing her brother paying attention to the news every day, she always felt a little confused.

"Does this have anything to do with us?"

"You think it's okay because you haven't been exposed to it. There's nothing wrong with understanding the social environment."

After reading the key news, Xianren closed the news page, moved his mouse, and clicked near the favorites. When he was about to click it, he thought of his sister beside him, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't look at it.

It was already at Feng Xiaochun's place during the day...there's no point in looking at it anymore.

The evening went on as usual. After Mitsuha finished her shower, he went into the bathroom and slept in the same bed. It had been a while since he had seen Fuji and Nunu, and Xianren felt that he should go see them tomorrow.

I closed my eyes and fell into a dream in a daze.

It was a familiar feeling again. The wise man opened his eyes and found that he was not in some ordinary room as before. This time he woke up and found that he was sitting in a bright hall with many people sitting around him.

"Then, next item."

"Regarding the 'Fifth Supplementary Budget Funding Bill' submitted by the House of Representatives, it will be—"

Sitting in the hall in a daze, trying his best to maintain his composure, Xianren took a few seconds to understand the environment he was in.

Senate.

Currently, a vote is underway on the "Fifth Supplementary Budget Resources Bill". This bill concerns the entire country, and whether it can be passed is basically decided by the "House of Representatives" and the "Senate" which are the Congress. Currently, this bill has passed the vote of the "House of Representatives".

As long as two-thirds of the members of the Senate agree, the bill will be implemented.

"This is too sudden. Has it suddenly become a hand on the shore that can be waved at will?"

Xianren, dressed in a suit and tie, sat in his seat with his hands crossed, looking at the expressions of the people around him. He seemed a little careless, but he was thinking seriously about which party he currently belonged to.

The main reason was that he had no idea about his own situation. Xianren tried to reduce his presence as much as possible and did not want to be noticed by others at this time. He sat silently in his seat, lowered his head and looked at the document in front of him, and simply flipped through the contents.

"Hmm~ I see."

After looking through the documents in front of me, I understood the general situation and listened carefully to other people's opinions...

"Miyamizu Councillor, are you free tomorrow?"

Most people agreed and passed the bill. On the way out of the Senate, someone suddenly came up to him and stopped the wise man who was about to leave.

Xianren slowed down his pace to look at the stranger, the elderly man next to him who must be at least 60 years old. He looked at the other person quietly without saying a word.

"Tomorrow, Chairman Aoki has invited Councillor Miyamizu to his home. I wonder if Councillor Miyamizu is available?"

With the same kind smile as the old man next door, Xianren also smiled at the other party.

"If you have time, of course. I have important matters to attend to. It's a bit rude. So, I'll take my leave first."

With a polite smile, the sage walked towards the exit of the Senate. However, when he saw the flashing lights and the people waiting at the door, he was silent for a moment, glancing at the others who had naturally walked in front of the cameras. He was silent for a moment, and when he was about to leave from a less conspicuous corner,

"It's Councillor Miyamizu!"

"Councilor Miyamizu is out!"

Then a bunch of people gathered around him, making him, who was already confused about the interview, open his mouth, bite the bullet, and face the camera with an expressionless face...

I don't know how the interview ended. I was still in a daze and was invited into a car by someone I seemed to know. After being asked, "Senator, where are you going next?", I replied casually, "Take me home," and was then taken all the way to my doorstep.

I got out of the car and stood in front of the unfamiliar 'Gyamizu' sign and the unusual-looking manor villa.

He didn't know how he got in. He stood at the door for a while, touched his pocket, and was silent for a moment. Then he walked to the doorbell and pressed it gently.

Will someone ring the doorbell when they get home?

Others may not know, but the wise have experienced it themselves.

"Who is it?"

"Miyamizu Kento."
