I won't be a loser.

Glancing at the wise man beside her, Futaba Rio silently closed the book in her hand.

"Are you planning to send me abroad, or are you planning to do something on your own?"

"I didn't expect you to understand me so well. You guessed what I wanted to say right after I opened my mouth. Guess what I'm thinking deep down right now?"

With a look of surprise, he looked at Futaba Rio who was looking straight at him, straightened his expression, rubbed his cheeks, and also looked straight at Futaba Rio in front of him, and started the mind-reading game.

"Will I be the one to do all the writing from now on?"

Xianren opened his eyes wide, staring at Futaba Rio in front of him and couldn't help but fall silent. He closed his eyes silently, sighed, opened his arms and hugged the girl in front of him.

"You must be another me in the world."

"..."

It seemed like an affirmation of her, but for some reason, Futaba Rio didn't feel the slightest joy in her heart. She lowered her head silently, looked at the wise man who was hugging her, and asked other questions.

"Aren't you going to be with your... tonight?"

"If it was Xiaochun, she would have gone home tonight. It's her home. Even if she married me, she doesn't have to be with me every day. She and I are still high school students, so we should spend more time with our family. Besides, her family is often not home, so we rarely have time to spend together. It would be better for her to be alone with her family."

Futaba Rio didn't understand.

"Don't you have to meet your parents-in-law?"

"My father-in-law's expectations of me are average, and my mother-in-law's attitude towards me is not welcoming. Even if Chun likes me, it doesn't mean that her family will like me as much as she does."

It seemed to make sense, but Futaba Rio still didn't understand. Since Feng Xiaochun's parents were not so welcoming to Xianren, why would they let their daughter marry the man who was holding her in his arms?

"Besides, I think your parents might not like me after knowing my situation."

It was just that simple, and Futaba Rio suddenly understood why Feng Xiaochun's parents didn't like Xianren.

Judging from his personal conditions alone, Kento was born in the "backward" county of Gifu. His father was a politician, and his mother was from a prominent local family that also ran a shrine. There was absolutely no problem with his background.

Compared with the prominent Feng family, his family background is a little lower, but as a son-in-law, there is absolutely no problem with the conditions.

I am also a writer who published works when I was a minor. There is no problem with my academic performance. It is enough for me to be admitted to those well-known universities by spending a little time and effort. This proves that there is no problem with my brain. I just need to be trained and there is hope that I will become a competent successor.

From these aspects, the conditions for a virtuous man in a family with only daughters can be considered excellent.

But when it comes to women, anyone who knows Xianren a little bit would probably not be satisfied with this. Feng Xiaochun's father did not dislike Xianren for this, but Futaba Rio already did not understand him very well.

"Well, if your parents knew about me, would your father be willing to accept me?"

"My father is a very ordinary man. If he knew about your story, I would hold a memorial service for you every year."

"It's a little scary."

"If there really is reincarnation, I wonder if I can meet you again, sage..."

Xianren, who was lying in Futaba Rio's arms, also felt a slight chill on his back. He was about to get up after Futaba Rio's words suddenly became dangerous, but was hugged tightly by the girl's arms and held in her arms, which made Xianren feel uneasy.

"Um...um, I kind of need to go to the bathroom, is that okay?"

"Well, since Xianren is already married, it seems that I can't become your wife in this life. Can we still be together in the next life? Can I be your first wife in the next life?"

"It's becoming increasingly dangerous to speak out. I think it's better to focus on the present. With the next life being so illusory, cherishing the present is what's most important!"

"This moment has no meaning for me. My lord, shall we go to hell together?"

"No, no, no, is the place you want to go to the underworld? I think it's better to be realistic. Let's go to Hokkaido together. I haven't seen thick snow in a long time."

Suddenly he thought of heaven, then pure white, then pale snow, then winter and cold, and Hokkaido suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Hokkaido?"

"In winter, I want to go to Hokkaido and see the snow."

"Just looking at the snow?"

"Just looking at the snow, it looks like there are still bears out there, but I'm probably no match for them."

"Maybe if you meet a bear, it can take you where you want to go."

"Yellow Spring?"

"So, you actually want to go to Huangquan too?"

The topic suddenly turned back to something a little dangerous, and Xianren was speechless. He just felt that the bear he met in Hokkaido might only send him to the underworld.

"If you don't like it, forget it. It's really troublesome to go out in the winter. I'd rather stay home under the kotatsu and eat oranges."

I don't know when Futaba Rio's hand loosened, and she turned sideways and lay down on the bed. Looking at the roof, she couldn't help thinking about winter. Summer was over, and winter was coming soon.

Did you return to Itomori last winter?

Maybe it was the aftereffect of the accident, but Kento didn’t have a very deep impression of last year’s New Year. He wanted to go to Hokkaido this year, but was rejected by Rio.

"Me and you?"

"Ok?"

"Hokkaido."

Turning his head to look at the girl next to him, Xianren couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Ah."

"Then... go ahead."

"Are you willing to go?"

"Is she okay there?"

"It should be no problem. Just tell her how long I'll be gone and come back on time."

After thinking about it carefully, Xianren felt that there shouldn't be any big problem in letting Feng Xiaochun stay at home.

"What if it's timed out?"

"Maybe it will appear in front of us the next day."

"Even in the deep mountains and forests?"

"...I'm a little hesitant to go to Hokkaido. How about we just forget about it?"

Everyone's wise man: 385. You have to respect yourself.

Machida Sonoko likes to drink, and she also likes to have people drink with her. Although Kento is not old enough to drink, he is still often urged by Machida Sonoko to take a sip and taste the flavor.

Kento has no taste for sake and will not get drunk even from red wine, so he has no problem drinking a few sips. However, Mari Fukaoka does not agree with Machida Sonoko's behavior and often stops Machida Sonoko from urging Kento to drink.

However, Kento was not spared by Machida Sonoko. Even if he didn't drink, Machida Sonoko would hold his arm and let him accompany her to drink a few sips.

"It would be too lonely for just two women to drink together. It's rare to have a man around, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he had a drink with us, right?"

So, after oolong tea was poured into the cups, and Machida Sonoko accompanied the two of them to drink almost two 500ml bottles of oolong tea on the grounds that "this color has more feeling", they inevitably felt a bit bitter and could not drink it anymore.

"Then drink this, rinse your mouth, and continue drinking."

Looking at the wine glass that Machida Sonoko casually handed to him, and the sake that exuded a faint fragrance, he didn't know how to describe his feelings. But it was indeed a long time since he had drunk alcohol. Xianren hesitated for a moment, then poured it into his mouth. The familiar taste made him feel nostalgic...

"That glass of wine you just drank was from Ms. Machida, right?"

"Ok?"

Lying down on the bed, looking at the girl beside him, Xianren looked a little confused, wondering why Futaba Rio suddenly brought up this.

"Don't come near me tonight."

"I smell too much alcohol, don't get too close to me."

"..."

Is it the wine?

Facing the black-haired back of Futaba Rio's head with her back to him, he was silent for a moment, then had to get up and leave the bedroom temporarily.

There was a rustling noise for more than ten minutes, and Xianren returned to the bedroom and lay down next to Futaba Rio. He put his hand on her slender shoulder and rubbed it gently. Futaba Rio opened her eyes.

"what happened?"

"I rinsed my mouth, rinsed it again, and used mouthwash. Now it smells like mint, huh~"

"I hate mint."

"..."

It can be seen that Futaba Rio is indeed very dissatisfied, which makes Xianren suspect that this is not just dissatisfaction with him, but also with Machida Sonoko, and probably also with Feng Xiaochun. Thinking of this, Xianren did not force the other party and silently put down his hand on her shoulder.

Futaba Rio was a little concerned about Kento's sudden silence. She couldn't help but move her body slightly and glanced behind her, but because of the angle, she couldn't see the expression on Kento's face.

The curtains on the wall were drawn tightly, and the reflection from the window glass could not be used to see the wise man's expression, which suddenly made Futaba Rio concerned.

She was a little conflicted, but she also felt that she should stick to her attitude at this time.

She remained silent and refused to look back, but she found a hand gently climbing up her waist and hugging her. The body gradually moved closer. The warmth from behind made Futaba Rio silent for a while.

No one said anything else, but Futaba Rio's tense body gradually relaxed.

The atmosphere was harmonious in the quiet night.

During the day, he still had to return to his apartment. After going to school, Xianren was a little absent-minded in class. When the time came, Xianren left the classroom and sat down alone in the cafeteria. As he was famous, no one usually disturbed him.

Today I suddenly felt a little interested, so after looking through the cafeteria menu, I ordered a barbecue rice.

He didn't like it very much, but it was mainly because he remembered the barbecue rice he bought before, which piqued his interest. He ordered one portion and tasted it himself. He thought it was okay.

I closed my eyes and felt the taste of the barbecue. When I opened my eyes, there was another person in front of me.

Nakano May.

"Aren't you going to accompany your sisters?"

Suddenly, he felt a phantom pain in his stomach. Xianren, who was biting his chopsticks, couldn't help but cover his lower abdomen with his left hand. When he remembered that he had not been stabbed, he calmed down a little and looked at Nakano Satsuki who was sitting in front of him with a somewhat "surprised" expression.

Nakano Satsuki, who has not yet entered the society and become a teacher, is still full of the immaturity of an underage child. The innocence and naivety of a student on her face have not completely faded, and she does not look domineering.

"I've made up my mind, too."

"What to decide?"

"Chiba University, I want to make Chiba University my goal!"

The voice filled with determination made Xianren silent for a moment. He opened his mouth, looked at the girl in front of him, but fell silent again.

Chiba University seemed to have an education major. After thinking about it, the deviation value requirements of the Faculty of Education at Chiba University did not seem to be very high. In terms of deviation value, the deviation value of the Faculty of Literature at Chiba University could not even reach S. He also read the relevant content of the Faculty of Education out of curiosity.

Boys all have certain fantasies about becoming a teacher and then teaching at a girls' school in comics.

Because of this unrealistic imagination, Xianren also casually looked at the deviation value of the Faculty of Education. Even Tokyo Gakugei University, which currently has the highest deviation value requirement in the country, has a deviation value of 64, which is 4 points higher than the Faculty of Literature of Chiba University.

Xianren didn't even look at the deviation values of the other universities, but he thought they would not be higher than 60 points.

"Isn't Tokyo great? You're with your sisters. Why would you go to Chiba University? It's only a year away. Even if you go there, I'll leave Chiba a year earlier than you. Chiba University is just a transit point. My goal is still in Tokyo. Graduate school is to establish a religion."

He told the girl in front of him his goal. He didn't want her to waste her time, so he accompanied her to Chiba.

"Me too, I can too."

"Can what?"

"I'll aim to go to university in Tokyo in the future, even if it's just for one year. That's fine."

"Wait, our relationship hasn't reached that stage, has it? I've noticed a little bit of your feelings for me, but I already have a girlfriend. So there's no need for you to target Chiba, right?"

At this point, Xianren felt that the other party was a bit stubborn. Suddenly he thought of his relationship with the other party. He couldn't help but calm down and pointed out his relationship with the other party and the fact that he already had a girlfriend.

The girl also fell into silence...
