I Won't Be a Loser

"Do you have time?"

"Now?"

"No, weekend, do you have time?"

"whats the matter?"

"If there is, you can choose a bookstore and hold a new book signing event."

"...I'm not a great writer, so there's no need for it? I'm still a newcomer. Isn't it a waste of time to just hold the signing event like this?"

"But you are good-looking. Even female passers-by who have no interest will still be interested in your works after seeing your face?"

"..."

"After seeing the content of the work, compare your identity. The strong contrast will arouse the readers' strong curiosity. Doesn't the topic come up like this?"

The sage opened his mouth, saying, "I use my talent, not my face", so he wouldn't say it. He has gone through some trials in the society, and he understands what is good or bad, so he thought about it a little bit in his heart. , I feel that the impact on myself should not be too big.

He is just a little-known little writer now, without any reputation at all, and holding a book signing event does not have any impact. It is estimated that no one will care about a newcomer like him who has not even won an award.

But if showing his face can increase the sales of his works, he has absolutely no need to refuse.

"Exact time and place?"

"It's not confirmed yet, but it will be confirmed soon. I'll contact you when it's confirmed. That's it for now. I still have things to deal with, so I'll hang up first."

"..."

The phone was hung up in a hurry, the sage looked at his mobile phone, and didn't know how to describe his mood for a while, silently stuffed the mobile phone back into his pocket, and went all the way back to his apartment.

As soon as he came up the stairs, he saw a figure squatting at his door, his vision became a little clearer, and he sighed helplessly as he looked at the world of Xiyuan Temple squatting at his door.

Was it mother yesterday, is it daughter today?

Silently came to her side from the stairs, seeing the girl who gradually raised her head and stared at her, the sage also didn't know how to speak.

"Did you leave school so early? Didn't you waste your precious youthful time with your friends?"

"No, I just rushed over after school, sorry, I..."

After brewing the words for a long time, after seeing the sage in front of him, Xiyuan Temple World realized that he could not speak, silently lowered his head, buried his face in his arms sullenly, and remained silent. squatting at the door.

Touching the key in his pocket, the sage was silent for a moment, sighed and still didn't take out his key, he squatted down slowly, stretched out his hand, and held Xiyuan Temple World's hand .

Standing up again, looking at Xiyuan Temple World who was holding his hand and slowly raised his head, he smiled at her.

"It's still early, let's take a break with me."

"..."

Casually sent a text message to Setsuna, Xiyuan Temple World saw the action of the sage, but didn't say anything. Seeing the sage walking towards the stairs, Xiyuan Temple World pursed its lips and silently followed the sage. behind.

She didn't know where the sage was going, and she didn't open her mouth to ask, the two of them just walked quietly on the road one after the other...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them stopped at a restaurant near Kasuga Station. The sage looked back at the world of Xiyuan Temple and pointed at the restaurant on the street.

"..."

Seeing that Xiyuan Temple World didn't respond, and with the recent remuneration in the account, the sage had nothing to worry about, so he walked towards the restaurant. As for Xiyuan Temple World, after biting his lip, he still followed Step into the restaurant.

It is located near the platform, and it happens to be the rush hour after school and get off work. There are not many people in the restaurant, but there are already many. At least when you look around, most of the seats are already taken. people.

"Two... are you?"

When the waiter saw the sage coming in at the door, and the Xiyuan Temple World beside him, he took the initiative to entertain him and asked if the sage was with the Xiyuan Temple World.

"Yes, is there a private room?"

"Yes, this way please."

After hearing what the sage said, the waiter smiled and invited the two into the private room, sat down, glanced at the menu, and the expression of Xiyuan Temple World began to become complicated. The living expenses are quite a lot, but look With the prices of the dishes on the menu, it is inevitable that the cost of living will be greatly reduced after a meal.

The binoculars that I just bought a while ago have already reduced her living expenses quite a bit, but now...

"You don't need to worry about the payment, I can just come. By the way, I haven't seen Gui with you during this period of time."

The world of Xiyuan Temple, who was still struggling with the price of food and bills, turned to look at the sage opposite him when he heard Gui Yanye's name, and slowly narrowed his eyes. My own eyes don't care about cooking anymore.

"You care about Yan Ye's affairs?"

"No, it's just that during this time, I haven't seen her with you, so I care a little bit."

"We can have classes in the same classroom at school every day. If you mind and care, you can also transfer to Sakakino. If you enter our class, you can see Yan Ye every day."

Observing the sage opposite him, Xiyuan Temple World smiled and spoke.

"There are many boys in the class every day. They have been paying attention to Yan Ye. Speaking of it, it is a bit surprising. Yan Ye seems to hate boys and doesn't like to contact boys, but she is facing When you were a sage, your reaction was not very strong."

The sage who looked at the menu couldn't help raising his head after hearing the words of Xiyuan Temple World, and looked at Xiyuan Temple World.

"Although the food has not been served yet, there is already a strong sour smell."

"..."

The world of Xiyuan Temple wanted to be angry, but suddenly remembered what had happened, and the puffed cheeks were also discouraged all of a sudden. He lowered his head silently, looked at the menu in front of him, and flipped through it twice. Just put it together.

"finish watching?"

"Ah."

"It's so fast."

"It's just a menu, and I've seen a lot of it on weekdays. Some dishes are not much different from my restaurant, and the access is not too big."

"Speaking of which, I almost forgot about it. Well, it's a bit far away, and I rarely go to your restaurant on weekdays."

Thinking back, he didn't seem to have been to her restaurant yet, but when he thought that Xiyuan Temple Yuezi was there, he suddenly lost interest, sighed silently, shook his head, and gave up the idea.

"Let's continue talking about Gui."

"Why, are you really interested in Yan Ye?"

The topic just changed was suddenly transferred to Gui Yanye by the sage, Xiyuan Temple World couldn't help but frowned, looking at the sage in front of him, his heart became a little concerned.

It was just a half-joking sentence before, but now hearing the sage talk about Gui Yanye again, Xiyuan Temple World had to start to face up to the boy in front of him, observing the expression on his face, in his own eyes I figured it out from the bottom of my heart.

The Season of Cherry Blossoms: 179. Insignificant Hearts

Talking about other people, the world of Xiyuan Temple may not care too much, but Gui Yanye...

For this classmate of mine, the girl who became friends with me after I stepped into high school life, the mood of Xiyuan Temple World is also a little bit complicated, I don't know what kind of feelings I have in my heart a feeling.

A little envious and a little jealous, but they couldn't avoid her concern for her.

Compared with other girls, Gui Yanye is too dazzling. She looks sweet and cute, and her temperament and figure are so outstanding. Her family background is also extraordinary. son.

Every time she noticed the gazes of those boys in the class, she would worry from time to time whether the sage would look at Gui Yanye with special eyes like these boys.

She also knows very well in her heart that she cannot be regarded as Xianren's real girlfriend, but even so, when she is with Setsuna...maybe it is a bit despicable, but at least she feels that she has something in her heart However, compared with Gui Yanye, she can't help but feel a little heavy.

"There must be some interest. It would be a lie to say that I have no interest in her at all, but in fact... the interest is not that strong."

Looking at the world of Xiyuan Temple in front of him, the sage smiled, closed the menu in front of him, and lightly pressed the service bell, the clerk came to the private room soon, and posted on the Xiyuan Temple World News After watching the clerk leave the private room, he refocused his gaze on the girl and continued talking.

"Last time, I met her outside. Beside her is a little girl who is somewhat similar to her but has a different personality. Maybe it's her younger sister, named Gui Xin?"

"It's the name, what's the matter?"

I used to spend the night at Gui Yanye's house, and I saw Gui Xin's Xiyuan Temple world, but I remembered that girl. When I was in school, I often heard Gui Yanye talking about her sister. Strange, she herself has a very good impression of that little girl.

Compared with the introverted and gentle elder sister, Gui Xin, the younger sister, has a much more cheerful and lively personality. When facing strangers, she is not as shy as Gui Yanye. The two sisters look at completely opposite sides of each other.

Even the world of Xiyuan Temple occasionally feels emotional about it.

"I used to chat with Gui Xin about letting Yotsuba come to Tokyo and become friends with Gui Xin, so I'm a little concerned, but I haven't seen her much recently, and Yotsuba doesn't know anything I will only come to Tokyo when the time comes, I guess it is unlikely."

Only then did he remember that the person in front of him also had a younger sister, Xiyuan Temple World looked at the sage sighing in front of him, and couldn't help pursing his lips.

The sage told her that she had two younger sisters, one named Sanye and the other named Yotsuba.

During the last small holiday, the younger sister named Sanye came to Tokyo, but she didn't meet her or have any communication with her. Now that she heard the sage mentioning this matter, she couldn't help but get interested.

"Is it just because of this? Isn't it because Yan Ye is cute that she is interested in her?"

However, Shangxin belongs to Shangxin. Regarding the topic of Gui Yanye, she looked at the sage in front of her and couldn't help but say something sour. Women have always been more sensitive to women.

The smell of jealousy made the sage involuntarily look at the world of Xiyuan Temple, and seeing the little resentment on the other side's expression, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly.

"Aren't you cute in the world?"

"......"

If it were any other strange boy, Xiyuan Temple World would feel inexplicable and disgusting, but when he heard such a sentence from the mouth of the sage, Xiyuan Temple World couldn't help but blushed, and gently knocked on the table , to hide his shyness.

"Don't change the subject!"

"Because the other party is not very interested in me, so I am not that interested in her."

After taking a sip of tea, the sage gave an answer calmly, but the world of Xiyuan Temple found it difficult to understand his answer, not knowing what kind of answer it was.

"She's not interested in you, so you're not interested in her either. In other words, if Yan Ye is interested in you, you'll be interested in her too?"

"Maybe."

"What kind of answer is this... People don't understand what you are talking about at all."

The world of Xiyuan Temple sighed, as if he understood a little bit, but he didn't really understand it, he lowered his head sullenly, and was too lazy to continue this topic, sitting quietly in the private room, suddenly became dull.

As for the sage, looking at the world of Xiyuan Temple that suddenly became quiet again, he didn't know what happened to her, and stared at him quietly.

"Sage, what do you think of my mother?"

"Huh? Miss Odoriko?"

"Ah."

Xiyuan Temple World, with her head down, was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head, and looked at the sage in front of her. She pursed her lips, and asked the confusion in her heart.

"Did it cause you a lot of trouble and make you feel annoying?"

"Not really, I hate it, it's just a little bit over-enthusiastic, which makes me a little bit unbearable."
