I Won't Be a Loser

Looking at the sage who was lying on her lap in an instant, Qingpu Wu's hand gently stroked his hair.

"I'm not a young man anymore, I've already lost that energy and interest, probably won't stay up all night, are you and Setsuna going to stay up all night together?"

"I don't have such an idea, but Setsuna might be interested, so I'm going to take a little rest now."

"Just lie on my lap and rest?"

"no?"

"It's not impossible, then take a good rest."

Watching the TV in front of him, the sage was a little sleepy, closed his eyes, and lay quietly on Qingpu Wu's lap. He didn't feel that strong drowsiness, but before he knew it, he fell asleep.

He didn't sleep for a long time, about an hour or so, then opened his eyes again, looked at Qingpu Wu who was also asleep on the sofa, he sat up slowly, stretched out his With both arms, he carried Kiyoura Mai into the room, covered her with a quilt, and returned to his apartment.

In the evening, I received a text message from Qingpu Setsuna, knowing that she had returned home, so I went to Qingpu's house again, and saw Qingpu Wu who had woken up and prepared dinner.

"Wait a while, Doriko and Shiji, they will come too."

"Is the two families celebrating together tonight?"

She glanced at Qingpu Wu in surprise, and then at Qingpu Setsuna beside her.

"Well, she is actually very lonely in the world."

The sage didn't think there was anything wrong with being considerate of his friend, but his mood was a little bit subtle. He sat quietly in the living room, watched the busy Qingpu Dance, and looked at Qingpu Setsuna again.

"When will you come over?"

"Wait, maybe half an hour or so?"

After a while, the sage stood up and helped Qingpu Wu prepare dinner together.

After making all the preparations, a little more than half an hour later, Xiyuan Temple World and Xiyuan Temple Yuezi appeared at the door.

"You, don't you want to invite Ogihara?"

When Saionji World and Saienji Odoriko, who were holding gifts, were invited to enter the house, Kiyoura Setsuna suddenly spoke and asked the wise man about Ogiwara Sayu in a low voice.

When the Cicadas Cry in Summer: 294. Red and White Song Concert

"Meet her today, it's like a party with her friends."

Looking towards the opposite apartment, he noticed that Sayu Ogihara's apartment was indeed pitch black, probably because he was not at home. Kiyoura nodded for a moment, and didn't care anymore. He returned to the living room with the sage, and started to entertain The mother and daughter of the Xiyuan Temple family.

Xiyuan Temple Yuezi also hasn't seen the sage for a while. Last time, from Qingpu Wu, he learned that he had an accident. He also went to the hospital to visit the sage who was still in a coma.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't seen you for a long time. How is your body recovering?"

"There's nothing serious about it. You've been working hard during this time, right?"

"When it's the holiday, there will be more people, but the restaurant is still short of staff. Is that girl named Ogihara not here?"

"She went to a party with friends."

Standing in the middle of the living room, the five people started talking to each other. Kiyoura Mai looked at Xiyuanji Yuezi who was talking with the sage. After the conversation between the two was over, Xiyuanji Yuezi took out two bottles of red wine.

"This is the red wine I bought on the road. I don't have much time on weekdays. Let's have a good drink tonight."

When she saw the red wine, Qingpu Wu suddenly remembered what happened at the hotel that day, and then looked at Xiyuan Temple Yuezi in front of her, she was silent for a while, and couldn't help but glanced at the wise man, noticing that the wise man Was talking to the girls and didn't notice it.

Looking steadily at Xiyuanji Yuezi's face, looking at the seemingly absent smile on her face, she intended to refuse, but when she thought about it, it was true that she hadn't had a drink for a long time. In addition, today is the New Year's Eve, so there is no need to be so serious.

"Only drink a little."

"Ok?"

Hearing Kiyoura Mai's words, Xiyuanji Yuezi didn't quite understand, but seeing Kiyoura Mai's serious eyes, Xiyuanji Yuezi couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth and chuckled.

"That's right, let's drink a little today."

The dinner was prepared before the arrival of the mother and daughter of Xiyuan Temple. Now that everyone is here, they are seated one after another and start to eat dinner.

"Cheers~"

The three minors drank fruit juice, while Kiyoura Mai and Saiyuanji Odoriko drank red wine.

While toasting, Xiyuanji Yuko glanced at the sage, but the sage didn't notice Xiyuanji Yuko's gaze. After the toast, the five of them chatted about this year's events while having a meal , and expectations for the next year.

"The work is not busy. I hope that next year, if I have the opportunity, I hope I can get a promotion."

Qing Puwu doesn't have a lot of work. Compared with other employees, she is considered a small leader in the office. Basically, she doesn't need to be responsible for any troublesome things, and her relationship with her colleagues is also good. The salary will go up a little bit.

"I also want to work leisurely in the office. I have to deal with various accounts in the restaurant every day, and I have to deal with troublesome customers."

After hearing Kiyoura Mai's words, Xiyuanji Yuezi also talked about her job. Even if she runs a restaurant, everything is not good. There are many things to deal with every day. You have to pay attention to the things in the restaurant when you are free. Happening.

Every holiday, it is very troublesome to recruit part-time students and teach them how to entertain guests.

"But isn't the income much higher than mine?"

"Well."

Xiyuan Temple Doriko sighed, and was always watching those part-time students in the restaurant every day, for fear that something would happen to her when she was not around. Once something happened, the operating conditions of her restaurant might be affected You have to be seriously affected, and you can't relax at all.

Qing Pu Seta and Xiyuan Temple World don't know much about work matters. Xiyuan Temple World only occasionally helps with its own restaurant, such as accounting, which she hasn't touched yet.

Even Xiyuanji Tiaozi did not let her daughter be exposed to such things so early.

"I'm going to be promoted to the second grade next year. When the time comes, it's time to fill out the enrollment application form, right?"

"Have you decided on the direction of your volunteering?"

The world of Xiyuan Temple listened to the adults talking, and thought of myself. Next spring, I will be promoted to the second grade. At that time, I have to start to determine the various college admissions. In the third grade, I will start to divide into classes. With different volunteers, start separate targeted teaching.

It's not that he didn't think about it during the first grade, but the world of Xiyuan Temple didn't know which one he should choose.

"liberal arts."

"Should it be the same as a sage?"

"Ah."

He and Setsuna have talked about this topic more than once, and it's no surprise that the world of Xiyuan Temple knows about it.

"Are you two planning to go to the same university?"

"I haven't considered this matter yet. Maybe it's like this. We still have to see if I can get into the university I want."

As for whether it is the same university, the sage already has a clear goal, but the sage is not clear about the goal of Qingpu Setsuna. Whether it is the same university or not, he is not sure, but it is very possible to aim at the same university matter.

"Then should I aim for liberal arts?"

There was a thoughtful expression on the face of Xiyuan Temple World. The two people on the opposite side were all aiming at liberal arts. She alone did not take liberal arts as her goal. Isn't she a bit out of gregarious?

"There is no such need. You still have to choose the major you want and like. Otherwise, you may regret it when you get to the society."

"Yes, I have to think about it too."

After such a chat, Xiyuan Temple World also began to seriously think about this issue.

Regarding her future life choices, she closed her eyes and thought about it for a while. She was not very interested in other content. At that time, she might become a teacher?

"What about being a teacher? Being a high school teacher, feeling like it would be fun?"

Qing Pu didn't comment for a moment, seeing the expression of interest on her face, he imagined her appearance as a teacher in his mind, and the sage smiled slightly.

"There's nothing wrong with being a teacher."

"...I always feel that the reaction of the two of you is subtle."

Xiyuan Temple Yuezi also heard the words of Xiyuan Temple World, glanced sideways at his daughter, imagined what his daughter would look like as a teacher, and his mood suddenly became subtle.

"Why don't you consider other careers? I don't think there's anything wrong with being an ordinary office worker?"

Some time after dinner, everyone sat in the living room to rest. Sage was squeezed in the middle by two girls. Kiyoura Mai and Saiyuan Temple Oriko sat around the arranged table, drinking red wine, watching the Boys and girls watching TV.

"Tonight, it's okay to stay overnight, right?"

"It doesn't matter to me. I'm not going to stay up late tonight. I might go to bed very early. How about you?"

"sleep?"

"Alone, don't think about it."

"Don't you feel lonely?"

Qingpu Wu looked at Xiyuanji Yuezi, and the corners of her mouth could not help but tilt slightly. She didn't feel lonely, but Xiyuanji Yuezi herself might feel lonely.

Seionji Odori, who was watched by Kiyoura Mai, picked up the red wine in front of her, drank the rose-red liquid in one gulp, put the cup back on the table, and looked at the two girls sitting in the living room , and the only boy, feeling a little disappointed.

At first, he thought that his daughter had a chance, but now it seems that the relationship between the sage and the Qingpu family's daughter seems to be getting closer, but his own daughter seems to be a bit dispensable.

The most famous program of this period is probably the New Year's Eve Red and White Song Concert.

Since 1951, it has gone through 64 rounds. This year is the 65th round. The invited guests and singers are divided into two groups, the red group and the white group.

Let the audience vote for their favorite programs. At the last moment of the program, the total votes will be calculated. The winning team will give the captain or the host a winning banner. Every year, popular singers and idols are invited. .

From 19:15 in the evening to 23:45, the performance is divided into two sections, with 5 minutes of news interspersed in between.

When all the performances of the show are over, the host will host the show. When we wait until 0:00, we will congratulate the arrival of the New Year together, and then the show will end.

When sitting in front of the TV, the show has already started. The performance is Wudai Natsuko's "Wine for One Person". The gentle lady in traditional costumes is singing popular songs from the past on the stage. It can't help but make people feel emotional. Time The passage of time, and the preciousness of youth.

"Sage, do you like it?"

Qingpu's sudden opening made the sage who was watching the show involuntarily look sideways at the girl beside him.

"Rather than liking her, it's better to feel the passage of time in her body, and feel a little emotional in my heart."

It's a bit inexplicable, and she doesn't quite understand what Xian said, such a stream-of-consciousness answer, looking at the TV screen in front of her again, she also can't understand the so-called passage of time, and she is not interested in such a song full of sense of the times.

Songs of different eras have the characteristics of each era, like the popular songs of the last century, you can hear the difference from the modern one just by listening to the prelude.

After Wu Dai Natsuko's "One Person's Wine", there is the third generation of J Soul Brothers who are very popular today and are called "Migrant Workers".

"The host, Yoshitaka Yuriko, looks really cute."

"Don't you think the accent is heavy? Big tongue?"
