I won't be a loser.

He walked up to Futaba Rio, took a look at the lunch box wrapped in Furoshiki, unwrapped it and took a look, and found that the lunch inside was similar to yesterday's.

"And yours?"

He took out another one, and Futaba Rio's lunch box was the same as Kento's.

The two of them were familiar with each other, so there was no need to be polite. Kento sat next to her and started having lunch with Futaba Rio.

"Have you considered your future university?"

"The University of Tokyo, science department."

"The University of Tokyo."

Looking at Futaba Rio who picked up the food delicately and put it into her mouth, Kento looked at her with a thoughtful expression.

"A major with a deviation value of 68 is a bit difficult, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you. Fengzhiqi is a well-known high school in Tokyo. The school should be able to recommend a place for you, right?"

Recommended for admission.

There is no need to participate in the agreed joint experiment of the university. You can enter the university as long as you meet certain conditions. Basically every high school has this right and a small number of places.

With Futaba Rio's current excellent grades, it would not be a big problem for her to be recommended to enter the University of Tokyo. However, considering the competition, she may have to pass an internal test. Otherwise, she can only be admitted normally and compete with others for a place through the test.

"I don't know. They haven't told me yet."

With Futaba Rio's current grades and honors, it shouldn't be a big problem for her to enter a prestigious university. She is also considered Toyonosaki's recruitment signboard, so there is absolutely no reason for her to withhold this recommendation for personal gain.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I can't recommend you for admission. With your ability, you won't have any problem getting admitted normally."

Both of them can only be considered ordinary students. Even if the school really took away this place, there is nothing they can do about it.

"It's only the second year of high school, and the quota should be decided in the third year, so there's still plenty of time."

"Ah."

The topic was a little realistic, but since he was with Futaba Rio, it was impossible for Kento to talk to her about anything romantic.

"With my level, even if I wanted to be recommended for admission...ah, I mean recommended for admission to the University of Tokyo, it probably wouldn't be possible."

Xianren's level can only be considered upper among his age group, but not in the top ranks. In addition, his literary works have not won any awards. He agreed to participate in the selection, but in the end there was no news at all. It seems that there is no hope for him.

"But haven't you already been admitted to Chiba University?"

"Chiba University, huh."

There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not ideal either, it's just okay.

"So disgusted?"

"I don't mind it, it's just a little far from Tokyo. My undergraduate degree is at Chiba University, but I will consider a university in Tokyo for graduate school in the future."

"Ah."

Futaba Rio didn't have any special thoughts. He was already married, so it made no difference to her even if he went to Chiba and then returned to Tokyo.

"What about her?"

"Koharu? Koharu is aiming to major in economics. She'll probably inherit the family business, right? Besides... well, there's still time to think about those things later."

"He hesitates to speak, arouses curiosity, but then says nothing. He has an annoying personality."

In response to this, the wise man just smiled and did not deny it.

The last day, don't waste your monthly tickets and blades.

Thanks to Anjiaochao, Shijianchaohua, Fengmingjie for their monthly tickets and blades! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes!

Everyone's Sage: 381. You are very self-aware.

After talking with Futaba Rio about further studies, Kento suddenly became diligent. He basically stayed at home writing. During the rest of the school time, he read books in the school. After school, he was not in a hurry to go home, but chose to go to the school library and read there.

Occasionally, Feng Xiaochun would accompany Xianren to read in the library, but most of the time, Xianren was alone.

His sudden diligence made people around him feel that he was a completely different person.

"Do you go to the library every day now?"

It was noon again, and Futaba Rio looked at Xianren who entered the laboratory and asked casually.

"Not every day, but I go there almost every day. Sometimes, when I feel bored, I go home and rest. Only when I feel like it, I go to the library for a while."

"Then you've been excited quite often."

"I really like reading, but I haven't read much recently."

"I've known you for such a long time, but this is the first time I know you like reading."

The answer given by Futaba Rio made Xianren shrug his shoulders slightly. He sat down next to her and looked at the lunch box she took out. It was pushed in front of him. He put his hands together, gently untied the furoshiki, opened the lunch box, and started to use the lunch box.

Looking at the sumptuous lunch box, Xianren remembered something and looked at the girl beside him.

"Is your living expenses still enough? I make bento every day, so my living expenses are definitely not what they used to be."

"I--"

He took out his wallet, took out three 10,000 yen bills from it, and handed them to Futaba Rio, which made the girl speechless.

"Take it."

It’s not that I’m short of this, but the wise man has already taken it out, and the recent expenses on food are indeed a bit high, so I accepted it.

"How is everyone doing now?"

"You'll know if you go back and take a look, won't you?"

"I don't really want to go. I haven't felt like going out much lately. I just sit in the park for a while occasionally, looking at those young children. I really feel a little bit of vitality in life."

"The vitality of life... You also say some strange things occasionally."

"Really? Everyone has a little quirk, it's normal."

In the afternoon, after the class, I walked out of the classroom alone and went to the library. I looked at the books in the library, picked up a book that I had not finished reading, and continued reading it.

What I have been reading recently is basically related to modern literature. The style of the more distant classical literature is really too different from his.

He was very interested in Manyoshu and haiku.

"Flower clouds drift by, does the bell sound come from Ueno or Asakusa?" - Matsuo Basho, Soan

"Nice to see you again. You've been coming to the library quite often lately. Is it to read?"

Glancing at the woman who entered the library, Xianren showed little interest in her.

"Excuse me, but when someone comes to you, you should at least respond, right?"

"The library is a place for reading. If you want to strike up a conversation, there are many places to do it. Staying here will only disturb others who are reading."

After just glancing at the other person, the wise man continued reading his book.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was silent for a moment, then sat down not far from him, holding a pen, looking down at her notes, and began to think and conceive the rest of the plot.

His eyes couldn't help but look at the wise man not far away from him. He pursed his lips, but did not speak to him.

The two of them sat quietly in the library. During this time, other people entered the library. When they saw the two of them, they all paid attention to them, borrowed books quietly and left. No one would approach Kento and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After reading for about an hour, Xianren closed the book, put it back to its original place, and quietly left the library. Kasumigaoka Utaha, who stayed behind, looked at his back as he left, and felt a little complicated for a moment.

I originally thought that the other person was a completely bad person, but now it seems that he is not what I understood?

He shook his head, without thinking deeply about the problem, closed his notes on which he had made little progress, stood up silently, and left the library.

He returned to his apartment, unbuttoned his school uniform, took it off, put on looser and more comfortable clothes, took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, and slowly walked to the balcony to look at the scenery outside the window.

"Tomorrow, there's nothing to do, but the publishing seems to have been finalized. It will probably be published some time soon."

Stars and Love

To be honest, the wise man doesn't really care about the publication of this book.

It was only when Mari Fukaoka brought up this topic that Xian finally remembered the book. He felt a little uneasy. He didn't know how the sales performance would be. If it surpassed his own...

"After thinking about it, I don't feel happy either."

Closing his eyes and listening to the sound of the wind, Xianren sighed and returned to the house. After a short rest, he walked out of the apartment.

Taking a walk is a form of exercise for the body and can also help improve your mood.

"Ok?"

While walking on the road, he suddenly heard a puzzled voice behind him. He turned around and met the girl's eyes. He was a little surprised.

"Ah, it's you."

The other party recognized Xianren's identity, and Xianren also recognized her.

"Ms. Nishimiya Yuzuru."

"Miyamizu, Kento, that's the name, right?"

"I haven't seen you for a while."

"Ah."

Yuzuru Nishimiya looked at the man in front of him with a somewhat subtle mood. He looked at him carefully and there seemed to be nothing special.

"what are you doing?"

"walk."

“It’s really leisurely.”

Nishimiya Yuzuru was a little envious.

"What about you?"

"I... I'm just taking a walk, I guess."

Looking down at the camera in front of him, Yuzuru Nishimiya touched it lightly and gave a somewhat perfunctory answer.

"Is your sister home?"

When Kento thought of the adult Nishimiya Shoko, he felt a little weird.

"Well, it should be almost time for school to end. Why are you asking this? Are you thinking about my sister?!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru's expression suddenly became alert. The boy in front of her didn't look innocent at all. She didn't want her sister to fall into the hands of this man, well... even though there were already signs of her falling into this man's hands.

"Yes, or no? If you ask me, my answer is maybe a little, but I don't particularly want to. Let's put that aside for now. Will you take a walk with me?"

"No one would normally invite someone to go for a walk, let alone a high school student, inviting a little girl."

“Very self-aware~”

Our Sage: 382. Reverence for Life

"Did you know that when koalas are young, they eat their mother's excrement to survive?"

While walking on the road, Yuzuru Nishimiya thought that Xianren would tell him some interesting knowledge, but he didn't expect that the other party would start talking about excrement. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He turned his head to look at Xianren who was walking forward with his hands in his pockets, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Is this what you usually talk about with girls?"

"Hmm? We don't usually talk about this, but I told you because I thought you might like this kind of novel knowledge. Turns out you don't like it?"

"No girl would like such disgusting content, right?"

"The biological world is quite cruel. To survive, they'll even eat their own mother's excrement. This is how living things survive. To describe it as disgusting is too much."

"..."

The unexpected silence surprised Xianren a little. He thought the girl would argue, but she suddenly remained silent, which made Xianren feel a little embarrassed.

"In fact, rabbits also eat excrement. They excrete two different types of feces. The feces excreted from the cecum are called soft feces."

"I am not interested!"

Yuzuru Nishimiya couldn't help but clench his fists. He thought the other party would be more serious, but he didn't expect that he was so fond of... excrement.
