I won't be a loser.

“If I have time, I will definitely go visit it.”

The wise man responded to the girl with a smile, looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar streets around him with a slightly complicated expression.

She had been observing his Saionji world, but she noticed that the boy next to her seemed to have a complicated expression, which contained some emotions and vicissitudes that she could not see through. Her body was involuntarily attracted to him, shortening the distance between them.

"Just now, Miyamizu-kun said that he doesn't have a girlfriend?"

"Hmm? Girlfriend...yes, no."

"Hey~ I feel like there aren't many idols in magazines who are better looking than Miyamizu-kun. He should be very popular among girls, right?"

This kind of question is almost like asking directly "Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

Seeing the body getting closer and closer to him, the height being slightly shorter than his, and the face being put in front of him, asking cautiously but curiously about Saionji Sekai, Xianto sensed some unusual atmosphere, as if the secretion of his hormones was accelerated.

Unlike the young body that had become weak due to the fall, it seemed to gradually cheer up under the girl's approaching movements and playful expression.

A wise person who realizes this is not a virgin who has never experienced anything, and will not lose his mind because of this.

Looking at the girl beside him, the other party's calm eyes seemed to hide something. Xianren was a little surprised, but his expression remained calm.

"Miss World should be popular with boys, right? You have a cheerful personality and a cute face. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Eh?"

Saionji Sekai was stunned for a moment. She never expected the topic to turn back to herself.

"No......."

"That's it."

The wise man, having changed the subject, looked somewhat nonchalant.

"But! There's a type of guy I like..."

Glancing at Miyamizu Kento, who seemed oblivious and indifferent beside him, Saionji Sekai felt a tinge of guilt rising in her heart. She felt a little sorry for Setsuna. She had clearly agreed to come here to gather intelligence on his behalf, but...

But the impulsive emotions at that moment, like a flood that had burst its banks, instantly overwhelmed the insignificant sense of guilt, and the emotions that overflowed into my mind -

"Someone like Miyamizu, no, Kento!"

The wise man was speechless, looking at the blushing girl beside him. He didn't expect that she would say it like that.

At the same time, around the corner behind Sekai Saionji and Kento, in the invisible shadows—

He was a little concerned for a moment and chose to come out of his apartment. Qingpu Setsuna, who followed behind the two of them, had the same indifferent look as always. His body leaned quietly against the wall, but his hands were clenched on the cuffs of his sweater.

Cherry Blossom Season: 10. The person who betrayed you is the world

"I'm back, Setsuna—"

With a discouraged look on her face, Sekai Saionji entered the house, closed the door of the apartment gently, and had a somewhat lost expression on her face.

Failed.

Obviously the atmosphere is good and when two people are alone, there is a high possibility that you can take advantage of the opportunity to win over the other person.

But she didn't expect him to be completely unmoved, showing no signs of surprise or shyness at all. He even chuckled and told her that he wouldn't consider dating until he graduated from college...

Saionji Sekai doesn't think there are really boys who can persist in not considering or trying a relationship before college. She always feels that the other party gives such an answer just to reject her.

"Are you back? How well did you understand?"

After entering the living room, Saionji Sekai saw Kiyoura Setsuna standing in front of the kitchen counter, seemingly tidying up something.

Walking to the sofa and sitting down, Saionji Sekai leaned on the armrest of the sofa, staring at Kiyoura Setsuna standing at the kitchen counter. She didn't care too much about what the other person was doing, and slowly told him the information she had heard.

"When I arrived at his apartment door, I ran into him as he was about to go out to deliver a letter. I introduced myself as a neighbor, and after he trusted me, I followed him out under the pretext of introducing the surrounding residential area."

Looking at Kiyoura Setsuna who still had his back to her, Saionji Sekai always felt that her friend's reaction seemed too indifferent. She blinked, not quite understanding why she didn't even look at her.

"Do you know to whom his letters were delivered?"

"Who?"

Kiyoura Setsuna paused for a moment, feeling that the reaction was too bland. Saionji Sekai, who was a little concerned, stood up from the sofa, walked to Kiyoura Setsuna's side, and noticed what was in her hand.

"Are you sharpening your knife?"

"Ah."

"why?"

Saionji Sekai felt a little strange and inexplicably guilty in her heart. Thinking of what she had done behind her friend's back, she felt a slight chill on her back.

"Nothing, it's just that Mom is going to buy some meat tonight and asked me to sharpen the knife first."

"I see... Ah, we were just talking about the letter. He submitted it to the magazine's publisher, and it seems he's using it to earn his living expenses in Tokyo. He's quite an impressive person, isn't he?"

Kiyoura Setsuna's knife-sharpening movements became a little slower. After looking back at Saionji Sekai beside him, the speed of sharpening the knife returned to normal and even increased a little.

"Um, Setsuna..."

"what happened?"

"Can you stop sharpening the knife for a moment? This sound always sounds a bit weird."

The crisp and sharp sound of sharpening a knife made Saionji Sekai look a little unnatural. Looking at her friend, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her neck, and she walked a little further away.

"It's okay, it will be fine soon. It won't be painful."

"No, it feels even weirder. Oh, and she doesn't have a girlfriend yet. I tried to test the waters and asked her if I would be his girlfriend, but she rejected me outright. She's not the type to be casual."

A light bulb went off in his mind, and Saionji Sekai quickly told his friend the most crucial content of his trip, which was also the main purpose of going out to contact Miyamizu Kento.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of sharpening the knife also stopped abruptly.

"Did he refuse?"

"You really were following behind, eavesdropping, weren't you?"

Kiyoura Setsuna did not answer this question, but silently rinsed the kitchen knife in his hand, put it back on the knife rack, put away the whetstone, and looked at Saionji Sekai beside him.

His calm expression, as if nothing had happened, gave Saionji Sekai a deeper understanding of his friend who grew up with him.

But when I think about what I did before, I feel that I have no right to judge her.

The two of them walked into the living room in silence, sat down at Saionji Sekai, and Kiyoura Setsuna poured her a cup of tea, and then the two sat opposite each other.

"Let's continue with the previous topic."

"Which topic? The topic of him not having a girlfriend?"

"You tested him and confessed your feelings to him."

The expression on Saionji Sekai's face was a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but put her hands together and apologized to Qingpu Setsuna in front of her.

"Feel sorry!"

"Why are you apologizing?"

"That... that was originally intended to test the other person on your behalf, but when we came into contact, I couldn't help but be attracted to him, and then I couldn't control myself. All I could think in my mind was that if I didn't take action in advance, such a good man would definitely be snatched away by someone else..."

"And then you confessed to him?"

In response to this, Saionji Sekai's expression was subtle and awkward. She never expected that Kiyoura Setsuna would follow behind her. Her eyes were wandering, and she observed her friend out of the corner of her eye, but only saw Kiyoura Setsuna sigh.

"And then, you were rejected?"

"Ahaha~ I got rejected very decisively. He said that he wouldn't even consider dating until he graduated from university. He's such a handsome guy, how could he not have a relationship before graduation?"

Kiyoura Setsuna did not comment on this. If it was just to deal with the Saionji world, it would be fine, but if it was serious, then it would be a bit troublesome.

"World, you betrayed me."

"Feel sorry!"

"Tomorrow, it's your treat."

"Huh?! Seriously?"

Faced with Qingura Setsuna's cold expression, Saionji Sekai stammered twice, seeming helpless, but also relieved.

"I understand. I'll cover all the expenses for tomorrow's shopping."

"Very good, then, Sekai Saionji is still Setsuna's friend, his best friend."

“It’s so realistic…”

Faced with the sigh of Saionji World, Kiyoura Setsuna disagreed.

The two are good friends who grew up together. It can be said that they have almost the same interests and hobbies. It is not surprising that they fall in love with the same person.

It was her own carelessness to let Saionji Sekai come into contact with the other party when she had no advantages at all.

She was there when she hinted at confessing her feelings to him and was rejected.

Although she was not very angry, she felt a little pity for the rejected Saionji Sekai.

Saionji Sekai, who had never had any relationship with boys and had no crush on anyone, happened to fall in love with the same person as herself. Unlike herself, she was entangled and bravely expressed her feelings, but was decisively rejected.

She simply put herself in his shoes and felt a deep sadness...

But to say that she has no dissatisfaction in her heart...that's not true.

The action of sharpening the knife just now was just to scare his good friend, so that Miss Saionji, who chose to run away, would feel guilty and realize that she had done something wrong.

However, there was something wrong with her secretly following behind.

But looking at the Saionji World on the opposite side who didn't care at all and had already started planning his trip for tomorrow, Qingura Setsuna's eyes flickered for a moment.

"Come to think of it, why did you come back so soon? Is it because your confession was rejected and you feel embarrassed?"

Hearing Qingpu Setsuna's question, Xiyuanji Sekai's expression changed slightly. She felt a little embarrassed, but also a little scared.

"No... there are some of these reasons, but there are also some other factors involved. I met a somewhat vicious person..."

"Vicious?"

Cherry Blossom Season: 11. Takasu Ryuji, the man who invited a wolf into the house

"Am I causing trouble for you?"

Takasu Ryuji looked at Xianren, then looked at the back of the girl leaving in the distance. The figure looked a little miserable, which made Takasu Ryuji always feel that he had done something excessive. His eyes fell on Xianren and he asked with some uneasiness.

Watching Saionji Sekai's departing back, if it were someone else, Xianren might still hesitate and consider whether he should change his life path and date other girls of the same age.

But the Saionji world...

"No, not really. It's more like you helped me quite a bit. Are you coming back from the shopping district?"

Looking at Takasu Ryuji in front of him, his hands were full of shopping bags of different sizes, many of which contained common ingredients and condiments. This reminded Xianren of himself, as he seemed to have not stocked enough food in the refrigerator of his apartment.

It doesn't matter if it's vacation now, but when school starts, things will become more complicated and you will have to take care of your own life, and the available free time will become tight. Buying enough food in advance can also reduce your burden after school.

But then again, even when it came to purchasing ingredients, he felt that Takasu Ryuji seemed to have bought a bit too much...

"There's a sale going on in the shopping street today. Every time this time of month, there are discounts. There are small discounts on weekdays and probably only on weekends."

Perhaps noticing the confusion and bewilderment in the wise man's eyes, Takasu Ryuji explained.

"How long will it last?"

In an instant, the wise man's eyes became sharp.

"Uh, all day today."

Takasu Ryuji was frightened by the wise man's gaze. For a moment, he felt that the other person's eyes seemed more intimidating than his image in the eyes of others.

The sage's eyes regained their composure and he nodded gently. He wasn't so concerned anymore. There was still enough time.

"Do you need help?"

Looking at Takasu Ryuji whose hands were full of shopping bags of all sizes, Xianren stretched out his hand and indicated that he could help. Takasu Ryuji was a little surprised, but he did not refuse Xianren's kindness.
