Reborn in the world of Zongman, Chu Qingfeng awakens a system that can increase his proficiency in everything he does.

When he learned that this anime world lacked many popular works from his previous life except for the three major popular anime.

So he found a way out and decided to become a tycoon starting from comics.

With the memories of the previous life and the help of the system, one comic after another went crazy in the world of anime.

When he was at the top of the industry, he found that the system had been updated with new functions.

The system has been updated with new features, which can enable you to travel through all realms!

From then on, he could experience life in the comic world he created.

People who are into comics in various manga genres start by dealing with the landlord.
Chapter 1: Rebirth in the world of Zongman, the landlord comes to collect rent
People in Zongman Live Comics, Start by Dealing with the Landlord: Chapter 1 Rebirth in the Zongman World, the Landlord Comes to Collect Rent at the Beginning
Nerima Ward, Tokyo.
As dusk fell, the corridor lights in an old apartment building flickered.
Boom boom boom!
A dull knock sounded at the door of Room 307.
“Feng Jun, are you home?”
Chu Qingfeng, who was sitting cross-legged at the low table behind the iron gate, paused with his pen.
Scattered paper balls lay on the wooden floor like a failed snowfall.
Chu Qingfeng guessed who it was and pretended not to hear.
The man knocked a few more times, and then the door opened with the sound of keys.
“I’m coming in~~~”
The warm yellow light shines in from the entrance, outlining a petite figure.
The girlish twin ponytails swayed gently with her steps.
The off-white top paired with a lavender dress reveals white calves.
A pair of pure white lace socks gently held the delicate ankles, and the jailer was wrapped in small and exquisite patent leather shoes, making a pleasant clicking sound with every step.
If it weren’t for the landlord’s key in her hand, anyone would have thought she was a high school student who had walked into the wrong house.
The 23-year-old landlord Mei Baihe came into the living room.
She bent over, covered her chest, tilted her head and looked at the draft on the table, her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents.
“Ah~”
“Drawing weird monsters again~”
Chu Qingfeng saw Mei Baihe covering her chest and felt dissatisfied.
“Who are you looking down on? Do you need to cover up your little pointy nipples? Who wants to see them?”
Although I thought so in my heart, my face was slightly embarrassed. “Miss Landlady, why are you here?”
“Feng Jun, this month’s rent…”
Mei Baihe glanced at the handsome young man who was two heads taller than her and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
A month ago, this Dongda student named Chu Qingfeng moved into his apartment.
The industry practice was to pay one deposit and three installments, but seeing the other party’s sincere attitude, I agreed to the excessive request of one payment per month.
But today is the third day of overdue payment.
The young man in front of me has not paid his rent for a long time, so I came to urge him to pay the rent.
“Ms. Landlady, I haven’t received my salary from my part-time job at the convenience store yet. Please give me a few more days.”
Chu Qingfeng smiled bitterly and took out the convenience store work ID from his dry wallet to prove that he had a source of income, but he had not received his salary yet.
Mei Baihe took the work permit and felt relieved. As long as there was money to pay, it would be fine.
But she still wanted to be tough.
At least let this young man in front of me know that I am not someone to be trifled with.
After all, she made a big concession on the rent.
“Da~~meh!”
There was a hint of cuteness in Mei Baihe’s long, serious voice.
“Feng Jun, a contract is a contract! If you delay payment again…”
“Just let the monster you drew capture you.”
Mei Baihe’s voice trembled slightly when she saw the drawing on the table.
Hearing the cute yet ineffective threat, Chu Qingfeng really wanted to pick her up and squeeze her hard.
Of course he wouldn’t move away.
Thinking about the original plot, as long as the rent is paid, the accumulation program will be triggered, and I felt a little more excited. Wuxia said:
“Anyway, if you give me a few more days, I’ll definitely pay you the rent as soon as I get my salary.”
A month ago, Chu Qingfeng was inexplicably teleported to this complex and hodgepodge world on his way home from get off work.
The damn system gave him a residence permit that could prove his identity. After speaking Japanese fluently, comparable to his native language, it left a message saying “the system is being updated” and disappeared without a trace.
Chu Qingfeng, who was penniless, originally thought he was going to become a homeless person.
But that afternoon, when I passed by an apartment, I happened to see Mei Baihe posting a rental notice.
Knowing that Mei Baihe was a gentle and energetic girl, Chu Qingfeng immediately used his eloquence as a salesman and his handsome appearance to successfully find a place to stay.
“Look, I’ve only been able to survive on discounted bread every day for the past month. If you hadn’t lent me money to stay here, I would have starved to death long ago.”
Chu Qingfeng used his story-making ability just like when he first met Mei Baihe.
“Aye!”
“Is Feng Jun’s life so miserable?”
Meibaihe’s fair little hands covered her mouth, obviously not quite believing it.
Chu Qingfeng didn’t waste any words and moved the trash can over and placed it in front of Mei Baihe.
“Look…”
After a long while of saying all the nice things I could think of.
It was not until Chu Qingfeng brought up his father who had died young, his sick mother, his sister who was still in school, and his broken self that he persuaded Mei Baihe to leave.
About twenty minutes later, Mei Baihe came back.
Chu Qingfeng thought that this lovely little landlord was here to collect the debt again, so he stood politely at the entrance and said cautiously:
“Miss Landlady…”
Looking at the tall figure who was already two heads taller than her and standing on the steps of the entrance blocking the light, Mei Baihe had to tilt her chin up to an exaggerated angle, and the back of her neck was stretched into a slender arc.
“Feng Jun, please keep up the good work. It’s okay if you pay the rent late. I can’t finish all these leftovers by myself, so please don’t be disgusted.”
Mei Baihe handed over a covered bento box with both hands, encouragement in her amber eyes.
“Feng Jun, you must not give up on yourself. The comics industry is not easy to make a living in, and always working part-time is not a solution. If you are willing, I can help you find a job. Once you are stable, you can bring your family here.”
Chu Qingfeng was startled and said quickly: “Thank you, I understand.”
After a few more pleasantries, Mei Baihe left.
Opening the bento in your hand, a plate of exquisite omelet rice comes into view.
Obviously not the so-called leftovers of whitening.
It must have been because he said that he had only been able to eat discounted bread for the past month.
Made it especially for myself.
A trace of guilt arose, but disappeared as he wolfed down the food.
He ate while muttering, “I’m sorry, landlady. I didn’t mean to lie to you. I’ll definitely repay you when I have money.”
Chu Qingfeng obviously would not follow Mei Baihe’s advice.
As a time traveler, on the third day after arriving in the world of anime, he keenly discovered that apart from the three major popular comics (Deadpool and Fire), there was no other popular anime on Earth, and instead there were some other unknown comics.
After discovering the business opportunity, he decided to start from comics and become a tycoon.
But as a handicapped party.
Although there are good ideas, they are so abstract when expressed on the drawing paper that they are unsightly.
The “wives” in his paintings have become abstract and have no aesthetic appeal at all.
Within a month, he confidently submitted his manuscript.
The result is obvious——
Failed.
The reason given by the editor is just two words: rejected!
You could also submit a novel.
But he was born stubborn. The more others said he was incapable, the more he wanted to prove himself.
So for a whole month, I went back and forth between these two points.
Go out and work part-time at a convenience store.
Go home and learn comics from scratch.
Fortunately, after a month of hard work, I finally achieved some results.
Just when he finished his meal and was about to continue working on his manuscript.
A mechanical sound that made people feel happy came from my mind.
The voice was cold and emotionless, yet it sounded like the sound of nature.
“System, your Teemo is finally here!”
“One month, do you know how I spent this month?”
【The system has been successfully updated and is matching functions according to the host’s current status. 】
[Matching successful, congratulations to the host for activating skill proficiency. ]【Please check the function description by yourself. 】
Hearing this, Chu Qingfeng complained in his heart and went straight to read the function introduction.
Five minutes later, Chu Qingfeng fully understood this function.
This proficiency function is also very simple.
To put it bluntly, no matter what you do, you can increase your proficiency.
And it is divided into 7 levels: inferior, entry-level, skilled, proficient, expert, master, and god.
The higher the level, the more awesome it is.
For example, even if he just rubs corn, his proficiency can be improved.
The higher the level, the higher the level of corn shavings can be.
“System, bring up the dashboard. I want to see my current skill proficiency.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a virtual panel that only Chu Qingfeng could see appeared in front of him.
[Name: Chu Qingfeng]Age: 20
[Skills: Cartoonist (Beginner: 903/1000), Convenience Store Clerk (Beginner: 775/1000), Silvertongue (Master: 470/10000), Corn Scraping (Proficient: 12/5000)… Cooking (No-frills: 32/100)… Apricot and Mugwort (No-frills: 0/100)…]Seeing the densely packed proficiency, Chu Qingfeng’s last gaze stopped at wiping the corn and his eyes went dark.
“Defamation! I’m going to sue you for defamation!”
…
at the same time.
In room 207 downstairs in Chu Qingfeng’s apartment.
The room is very warm, and the cute girly pink fills the entire house.
Mei Baihe wrapped in a bath towel sat down on the sofa with a worried look on her face.
“Feng Jun is such a pitiful man, all alone in a foreign country, and still has to make money to pay for his mother’s medical treatment and his sister’s schooling. If I don’t help him, who will?”
“How about giving him a rent reduction or making him some lunch boxes to encourage him?”
As he was hesitating, his eyes swept across the coffee table.
Suddenly he noticed the residence permit that Chu Qingfeng had left with him, and remembered something.
“By the way, tomorrow is Feng-kun’s 21st birthday, right?”
I picked up my residence permit and confirmed it again, and it was indeed tomorrow.
Looking at the handsome face on the ID card, Mei Baihe’s cheeks turned slightly red.
“How about giving him a birthday to encourage him?”
“It just so happens that I bought a chef’s uniform a few days ago so I can cosplay as a pastry chef and go to his house to make him a birthday cake!”

late at night.
The lights were still on in Room 307 of the old apartment.
The faucet in the kitchen was not closed tightly, and water droplets slowly seeped out, falling into the lunch box full of water, causing ripples.
In a room where one person lives.
Chu Qingfeng was sitting at the table, holding a pencil and drawing lines on paper.
He controls the force of his brush strokes one after another on the paper.
Every line in his writing is so perfect.
[Proficiency +1]Every time I draw something on an A4 paper, a reminder of my proficiency level +1 comes to my mind.
“Isn’t this too slow?”
“It takes one piece of paper to gain one point of proficiency. If I use a smaller piece of paper, can I still gain more proficiency?”
Chu Qingfeng immediately did it and folded the A4 paper in half.
Only half of the paper was scribbled furiously with pencil.
“feasible!”
Chu Qingfeng showed a joyful smile on his face, and immediately continued the experiment, folding the paper in half and covering it.
Fold it in half again and fill it up.
Fold it in half again, and now only one-eighth of the original A4 paper remains.
Fill the line again, still +1.
After it was folded in half again by one-sixteenth, the prompt sound for the proficiency increasing by one did not appear again.
“It seems that this is the only size of words I can use.”
Chu Qingfeng took the A4 paper that had been folded three times and began to draw.
I used to be able to draw only ten practice drafts in an hour, but now my efficiency has skyrocketed.
In the time it took him to draw one picture before, he can now draw eight or even more.
After all, the paper area is eight times smaller than before.
The time it takes to fill a piece of paper that has been shrunk eight times is more than eight times faster.
In this state of excitement, Chu Qingfeng fought until three in the morning.
The proficiency level also skyrocketed from entry-level to mastery.
If he didn’t have to go to work tomorrow, he would definitely stay up all night to improve his proficiency.
Before going to bed, Chu Qingfeng tested his painting skills.
He tried to copy the characters that flashed through his mind.
In less than half an hour, the characters in my mind were reproduced on the drawing paper.
He put down his brush, his fingers still stained with lead powder.
The lines leaping off the paper were completely different from the abstract paintings of just half an hour ago.
What were supposed to be smooth lines have become breathtaking curves.
The twigs and fruits are full of the wonders of nature.
The whole picture exudes a sense of naturalness…
Artistic sense.
Suddenly I remembered the faint dent on my lower back when I stood on tiptoe to post the rental notice, so I added it.
“It tastes just right.”
“This is the landlady I have in mind.”
Looking at the drawing in his hand that is comparable to that of a professional original artist.
Chu Qingfeng knew it was time to give this anime-poor world some earth-shaking action.
“The next step is to consider which publishing house to submit to and which work to submit.”
I pushed the table to the windowsill, spread out the bed on the floor, lay down on the bed and fell asleep planning the future.
The next day.
As the alarm clock rang at 6 o’clock, Chu Qingfeng got up hurriedly with dark circles under his eyes.
He is still struggling to make ends meet and is still working hard like a beast of burden.
He packed up hastily, put on his work clothes and went out quickly.
As soon as he arrived at the apartment gate, he was stopped by Mei Baihe.
“Feng Jun, come back early after get off work, I have something to tell you.”
Chu Qingfeng’s heart sank. Could it be that he was here to ask for rent again?
But since he was about to be late for work, he didn’t say much.
After agreeing, I jogged all the way to the 711 convenience store five kilometers away to work part-time.
Today is the early shift, so there is still a lot to do.
Breakfast for office workers must be prepared before seven o’clock.
Watch Chu Qingfeng leave.
Mei Baihe’s face was full of heartache and envy.
Although she only had two houses in the apartment, she still had millions of cold dollars in the bank for her daily expenses, so she had never experienced the joy of struggling for life.
“By the way, since today is Feng Jun’s birthday, why don’t we go to his room and make a cake? He will definitely be very touched when he comes back!”
Mei Baihe thought so in her heart and skipped home to change clothes.
Ten o’clock in the morning.
The sun slanted through the crack in the door, and Mei Baihe held her breath and counted to thirty.
After confirming that there was no one around, he ran to Chu Qingfeng’s house with the ingredients for making the cake.
As the key opened the door, the old rusty hinges creaked.
“Is anyone there? If no one says yes, then I’ll come in~”
Mei Baihe greeted him guiltily, his voice lighter than a cat’s yawn.
In fact, she didn’t know where she got the courage to sneak into someone else’s house.
Perhaps it was because Chu Qingfeng’s tragic life experience aroused sympathy.
Mei Baihe shook her head.
“As a landlord, I help my tenants and make them feel my love, and they will continue to rent.”
“Yes! That’s it!”
Mei Baihe, as if to convince herself, stepped into Chu Qingfeng’s room.
Snap——
Mei Baihe put down the ingredients for making the cake and was attracted by the clean room.
“Why didn’t I notice how clean that guy was last night?”
The room is less than 40 square meters and is as tidy as a model house.
Every item is perfectly organized.
The morning sun slanted into the room through the gauze curtains, casting a golden band of light on the lacquered wooden floor.
The sunlight favors the low table in the living room the most.
Over there.
A stack of neatly arranged A4 drawing papers lay quietly on the table.
The first painting caught Mei Baihe’s attention.
She picked up the drawing paper and looked at it.
The smile of the person in the painting is clearly visible in the sunlight.
But when her eyes moved down, her fair and pink cheeks suddenly turned red.
“Aye!!!”
“Feng Jun actually likes girls like this…”
What Mei Baihe was holding in her hand was the character sketch that Chu Qingfeng had used last night to verify his painting skills.
She looks almost exactly as sweet and cute as she does in the picture.
The only difference is the slightly undulating hills, which are deliberately exaggerated to look like fruits.
Mei Baihe silently put down the drawing paper and muttered softly:
“This isn’t my fault. Feng Jun is really going too far!”
“He must be punished severely.”
Mei Baihe sat at the table with a sullen look, his head turned to the side, trying his best not to look at the drawing on the table.
Chu Qingfeng, who had just finished the morning rush hour and was cleaning up, sneezed several times.
He frowned and asked in confusion: “Cold? That shouldn’t be the case!”
……..
Feilu novels, Feilu will make you look good!
Chapter 3 You’re welcome, this is a birthday present (old version)
Meibaihe sat there with a bloated stomach for an hour until her stomach protested, and then she went home to eat.
When she returned to Chu Qingfeng’s house again, she had a portion of wasabi in her hand.
“Hehehe~ Feng Jun, this is just a little punishment~”
“Humph~ Who told you to frame others?”
Whitening agent looks very gentle on the surface, but it actually has its own little tricks.
The most appropriate description is that he is extremely vicious.
She walked into the kitchen with wasabi, and soon there was a tinkling sound coming from the kitchen.
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Chu Qingfeng ended his part-time job at the convenience store.
Before leaving, I finally received my salary for a month’s hard work!
A full 150,000 yen was the reward he received for working hard for a month without a single day off.
150,000 seems like a lot.
But in a high-consumption city like Tokyo, it is only enough for basic living.
Don’t even think about saving a penny apart from food, clothing and other expenses.
Fortunately, convenience stores are just a transition.
Once the comic is officially signed, I won’t have to work so hard anymore as I’ll receive royalties.
When I have money, I will buy myself a villa, preferably with hot springs and a beautiful woman.
It would be such a wonderful thing to grow some pollution-free vegetables, draw cartoons every day, and enjoy life with my beloved ones.
But the prerequisite is that you can handle the relationship between the beauties well.
If it becomes a Shura field, it will not be fun at all.
Chu Qingfeng smiled and shook his head. He believed that there would be help from the system.
Such a day will definitely not be far away!
Put 15 “huge sums” of 10,000 yen into your wallet.
I turned around and went to the nearby Ito Supermarket to buy some kitchen utensils and tableware.
In the future, I can make some lunch boxes to improve my life and no longer have to eat discounted bread every day.
In fact, Chu Qingfeng didn’t have to cook, he just didn’t want to waste the proficiency function.
Furthermore, when he was browsing the Internet, he also discovered Totsuki Academy in Food Wars.
Maybe in the future I can go to Totsuki Academy to meet those so-called top ten chefs.
Of course, it would be even better if the God’s Tongue could make the clothes explode.
Came to Ito.
Chu Qingfeng bought some cheap raw materials including a cooking pot, an electric rice cooker, a kitchen knife, a cutting board, a set of bowls and chopsticks.
This cost 20,000 yen.
Carrying a big bag of things and walking home.
This is not saving.
But in the morning he found that walking and running could improve his physical proficiency!
The journey from the apartment to the convenience store in the morning, plus the journey from the supermarket back home now.
You will gain 500 points of physical proficiency experience and 200 points of endurance proficiency experience.
“So lifting heavy objects also increases proficiency?!”
When Chu Qingfeng heard the points added by the system, he was surprised and felt that his body seemed to have changed.
It was as if there was a burst of vitality out of nowhere, making me look more energetic.
As the footsteps got closer.
Mei Baihe, who was decorating the cake, smiled with a look of success.
Click.
The door opened.
“Welcome home~”
This greeting made Chu Qingfeng pause.
He subconsciously looked up, his pupils dilated slightly.
Looking up, I saw a petite figure.
The pure white chef’s uniform is spotless.
The once lively and bouncing twin ponytails were now gathered under a towering chef’s hat, leaving only a few playful curls hanging by the ears.
The short black apron tied at her waist made her figure look even slimmer.
Under the apron, she only wore a pair of extremely short shorts, showing off her straight and well-proportioned legs without reservation.
Her skin is as smooth as milk, and her lines are as smooth as a carefully carved work of art.
It radiates a delicate luster under the soft light of the entrance.
She stood on tiptoe slightly, holding the cake.
There was a hint of cunning in his smile.
It seems to be saying: How about me, I am professional and cute today.
“Miss Landlady?! Why are you in my house?”
“What’s with this cake?”
“Eh???”
“Feng Jun, you haven’t forgotten what day it is today, have you?”
Mei Baihe tilted her head in disbelief.
Seeing that Chu Qingfeng thought about it again and again but still couldn’t remember it.
She had to roll her eyes and remind him, “Feng Jun, you wouldn’t have forgotten your own birthday, right?”
Chu Qingfeng suddenly realized.
Yes, today is his 21st birthday.
If this had happened a month ago, he would never have imagined that he would celebrate his birthday in the world of anime.
“Don’t just stand there, go wash your hands.”
Mei Baihe urged Chu Qingfeng to wash his hands, while she placed the cake on the table in the living room to suppress the turbulent drawing, waiting for Chu Qingfeng to accept her punishment.
In the kitchen.
Chu Qingfeng put away the kitchen utensils and was washing his hands when he suddenly found wasabi in the trash can and immediately realized that something was wrong!
The draft he drew last night was on the table, and the landlord must have seen it.
He knew very well what kind of person Mei Baihe was.
“Feng Jun, are you ready? I’m still waiting for you to cut the cake and make a wish~”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Chu Qingfeng was awakened by Mei Baihe’s voice and kept thinking of countermeasures.
As soon as he sat down, Chu Qingfeng first thanked Mei Baihe.
Mei Baihe was lost in the compliments.
Especially when she heard the words “Miss Landlord will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future”, her face was flushed with happiness.
“By the way, landlady, this is the rent I owe you and the money I borrowed from you. Please count them.”
Chu Qingfeng took out 34,000 yen from his pocket and handed it to Mei Baihe.
Mei Baihe didn’t expect Chu Qingfeng to pay the rent today. She was happy but felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart.
“Hey! Actually, it doesn’t matter if you give it to me later. You still have your mother and sister to take care of at Todai. You can give them the money first.”
Chu Qingfeng shook his head.
Those were all made up by him. He doesn’t have any relatives in this world.
But one lie often requires another lie to cover it up.
Now is also the time to build an image of honesty, integrity, and gratitude.
How can I give up so easily?
He really wanted to see if Mei Baihe really had any exciting shows after collecting the rent!
“No, the landlady has been very kind to me. Not only did she lend me money to defer my rent, she even celebrated my birthday with me.”
“You are my great benefactor!”
“If it weren’t for you, I would probably be a homeless person now. Please accept this money.”
Looking at Chu Qingfeng’s sincere eyes, Mei Baihe felt a sense of guilt.
The other person just drew a drawing that was slightly different from yours, but you want to use wasabi cake to play a prank on him. Is that really okay?
“Then I’ll take it…”
Mei Baihe’s voice was very soft, and the red clouds on her face rose to her ears.
“Right! Let’s cut the cake!”
Seeing that the other party accepted the rent, Chu Qingfeng was about to drop the cake on the ground while cutting it.
This way you can avoid eating an unknown amount of wasabi.
“Akidou is crazy!”
Seeing Chu Qingfeng was about to take the cake to the kitchen to share it, Mei Baihe became anxious.
She quickly reached out to stop him.
But unexpectedly, during the fight, the cake fell to the ground and was completely destroyed.
Seeing the cake fall to the ground, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’ll make another one, there’s still time!”
Chu Qingfeng didn’t want to cause trouble.
But he couldn’t persuade Mei Baihe, so he could only let her prepare the ingredients.
I cleaned up the cake that fell on the ground.
Meibaihe has already started to get busy.
Following the steps of making cream cake, she first beat eggs, sugar and cream in a mixing bowl.
Then use a whisk to quickly stir in a mixing bowl.
After cleaning up, Chu Qingfeng stood quietly at the kitchen door, looking at Mei Baihe with a serious expression.
“I didn’t expect you to be preparing so seriously. It’s quite unexpected.”
Pah pah pah——
Whisk quickly in a mixing bowl.
The cream and egg mixture gradually changes from liquid to foamy in the bowl as the whisk is used, but it never solidifies.
“Um?”
“That’s strange…why can’t it solidify this time?”
“It’s obviously the same as before, is there not enough cream?”
I heard Mei Baihe’s doubts.
Chu Qingfeng asked with concern, “Do you want me to help?”
Mei Baihe turned her head and smiled sweetly.
“No, I can handle it.”
“Besides, today is Feng Jun’s birthday, and I broke the last cake.”
“Since I’m at home, let me do this heavy work.” Chu Qingfeng didn’t want to give up the opportunity to improve his cooking skills.
He reached out to grab the cooking bowl.
But it was snatched away by Mei Baihe who felt guilty.
During the fight, the cooking bowl was knocked over and headed towards the whitening lid.
Mei Baihe fell to the ground, her whole body covered with the mixture of cream and eggs.
“Oh, it’s even stickier than I thought.”
“This is the last bit of cream. If it’s like this, the cake won’t be made.”
Mei Baihe, who was covered with cream, used her hand to wipe some of the cream on her cheek and put it in her mouth to taste it.
“Wow~ It’s delicious, the sweetness is just right.” The delicate little tongue slowly touched the fingertips, “What a pity…”
Looking at Mei Baihe falling to the ground covered in cream, Chu Qingfeng was stunned.
Why does this plot seem familiar?
Mei Baihe smiled slyly and sat on the ground jokingly.
“Feng Jun, you are such a fool! Come and help me! Are you excited?”
After being teased by Mei Baihe, Chu Qingfeng turned around a little embarrassedly, but heard Mei Baihe lowering his head and whispering.
“Sure, today is Feng Jun’s birthday.”
“This is a birthday present!”
P.S. Gentlemen passing by, please give me some free data. I will never forget your kindness. I wish you great fortune and good luck.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 4 Enjoy! (Old Version)
First, spread the foamed cream evenly on the corn to shape it.
Sprinkle a little icing sugar on the cream and it looks delicious.
It makes people want to taste it secretly.
“Ah…”
Start from the edge.
Before the icing melted, Mei Baihe took a sip.
After that, things got out of control.
“Thank you for your hard work, Miss Landlady.” Chu Qingfeng looked at Mei Baihe, who was shorter than him, and his tone of gratitude was unnatural.
“Woo…” Mei Baihe’s movements suddenly stopped.
When she raised her face, the almond-shaped eyes that always contained a smile were now filled with complex emotions.
“And you still call me Miss Landlady…”
Her voice was intermittent and indistinct, and her small hands grabbed Chu Qingfeng’s thigh.
hiss!!!
I felt my thigh being twisted and it hurt.
Chu Qingfeng begged for mercy and gently comforted Mei Baihe who was working hard to accumulate cream.
“Excuse me, what should I call you?”
Mei Baihe glared at Chu Qingfeng, then stopped and spoke seriously.
“Feng Jun, you can call me Sister Baihe. I’m older than you anyway.”
“Sister Baihe.” Chu Qingfeng called out immediately, but he felt disdain in his heart.
Hearing the other party’s words, Mei Baihe’s eyes were filled with smile again.
“How close this is~”
“Well, let’s get started~~~” She continued making the cream cake.
Looking at Mei Baihe who was making the cake seriously, Chu Qingfeng sighed in relief!
But due to Mei Baihe’s secret eating, the amount of cream is getting less and less.
“call!”
“Sister Baihe, this little cream is not enough to make a cake.”
“It’s okay, we can make a smaller cake~”
Mei Baihe curved her eyes and smiled as she began to make her special cake.
In a short while, the special cake was ready.
Meibaihe smiled like a flower and held a bright red strawberry in her hand.
“Feng Jun, try it~”
“This is the first time I’ve made a cake like this.”
Seeing this, Chu Qingfeng raised the corner of his mouth.
“I don’t believe it.”
As he said this, he picked it up by the waist, wanting to check whether it was real.
Meibaihe’s waist is very soft and her body is very light.
It took Chu Qingfeng no effort to pick him up.
Mei Baihe gently hugged Chu Qingfeng with both hands and tried her best not to damage the special cake.
The white neck is gently raised, like a delicate and beautiful flower.
When he was still on Earth, this frivolous landlady spent countless nights with him.
But at that time he was not a paper man, so he had no such opportunity at all.
Now that he has arrived in the world of Zongman, he naturally cannot miss it if he meets her by chance.
After eating the cake, Chu Qingfeng wiped his mouth.
Looking at the delicate and graceful Baihe, Chu Qingfeng was very satisfied with the results of his inspection.
Unexpectedly, although the special cake that Mei Baihe made for the first time was a little rough, it was surprisingly delicious.
The prepared cream has a light and dense texture, and the sweetness of the white sugar just neutralizes the greasy taste of the cream.
The addition of fresh eggs adds a touch of smooth flavor to the cream.
Served with fresh fruit pulp.
Each bite has a light fruity fragrance that makes you want to take another bite.
The only downside is having to do the laundry.
It’s all because I ate too quickly just now, and my clothes are covered with cake crumbs.
[Congratulations to the host, proficiency +1]Chu Qingfeng was a little disappointed. He didn’t know whether it was good or bad to gain 1 point of proficiency in exchange for an hour of time.
He really wanted to increase his proficiency by ten seconds or even one second.
But his self-esteem didn’t allow him to do that!
You can’t just brush for the sake of brushing.
Besides, since time is long, just take it slow and steady.
One day he will reach the god level.
“What’s wrong with Feng Jun?” Looking at the dazed Chu Qingfeng, Mei Baihe asked in a low voice.
Chu Qingfeng was thinking in his heart.
To upgrade your proficiency, try again!
After a long time, the room finally returned to silence.
The system sounded as usual—
Proficiency +1!
“Phew! I’ll do it later. It’s not that I can’t do it, I have work to do.”
Chu Qingfeng took out the publishing house submission form he had written during lunch break from his trouser pocket.
The three publishing houses with the most readers are listed above.
1. Shueisha
2. Kodansha
3. Shogakukan
“Which one should I choose?”
He lay on his back, mumbling something.
Mei Baihe leaned next to Chu Qingfeng.
Her gaze moved from the list to Chu Qingfeng’s chiseled profile.
His brows furrowed unconsciously.
She couldn’t understand the young man’s stubbornness.
You can clearly choose an easier path, but you choose to walk through the thorns.
You have to know that in this world, comic readers are almost monopolized by the Dead Fire Sea, and the rest are occupied by various veteran cartoonists, so it is difficult for newcomers to stand out.
“Feng Jun, wouldn’t you consider me introducing you to a job?”
Chu Qingfeng shook his head. “I have my reasons for insisting on this, don’t worry.”
Seeing Chu Qingfeng’s firm attitude, Mei Baihe stopped trying to dissuade him.
She won’t stop a man from making a career, as there are many miracles in the world.
What if the man in front of me is a miracle?
“If that’s the case, I suggest Fengjun invest in Kodansha. They’re much friendlier to newcomers than the other companies, and they also have a manga award every year, with a 1 million yen reward for the winner.”
“Kodansha?”
Chu Qingfeng immediately took out his mobile phone and logged into the official website of Kodansha.
I did see the comic book competition on the homepage, and it still has ten days left to go.
There’s still time to catch up!
An anime came to mind.
The popular work with a cumulative circulation of over 4 million copies – Your Lie in April!
With a goal in mind, Chu Qingfeng immediately devoted all his attention to the preparations.
At the same time, after cleaning the stems and leaves of the lynx, Mei Baihe lay lazily on the tatami.
She held her cheeks in her hands.
The slender calves swayed gently in the air, and the white and tender feet sometimes overlapped and sometimes stretched.
The watery eyes stared at me without blinking, outlining a powerful back under the light.
A look of admiration appeared in his eyes.
“Mr. Feng, what are you writing?” Mei Baihe asked knowingly.
“Outline of works to be submitted to the Manga Contest.”
“Then can you show me what you’ve written?”
“Um.”
Just as Chu Qingfeng was writing at his desk.
Mei Baihe approached quietly and took care of him considerately.
First, he refilled his tea, and then carefully put the scattered papers back in place.
Every movement reveals indescribable tenderness.
Looking at Chu Qingfeng’s furrowed brows, Mei Baihe’s lips unconsciously raised a satisfied arc.
She seemed to particularly enjoy the feeling of taking care of others.
If it weren’t for physical reasons.
She was sure that she must be a gentle big sister next door.
“If I wear that cat-ear costume with bells…”
Mei Baihe suddenly chuckled, a faint blush on her cheeks.
She subconsciously touched her neck, as if she had already felt the cool touch of the bell.
I pictured myself wearing furry cat ears and a bow-tie collar.
The scene of saying in a sweet voice, “Master, you have worked hard~”.
Chapter 5 Submission to Kodansha (Old Version)
“Finally done…”
Chu Qingfeng let out a long sigh and rubbed his sore temples.
Thanks to his extraordinary memory, he was able to restore the complete plot of Your Lie in April.
Mei Baihe curiously leaned in to look at the densely packed notes.
“Your Lie in April?”
Looking at the manuscript in my hand, I murmured the title.
Originally, I just accompanied Chu Qingfeng to fight until late at night because I thought it was fun.
She didn’t think the story she had created after several hours was that good, and just read it with an indifferent attitude.
–I was once hailed as a genius in the piano world, and at the age of eight I stood on countless glorious stages.
–But in the autumn when I was 11 years old, my mother passed away and I could no longer play the piano on stage.
–The world is reduced to lifeless black and white.
–Until that girl appeared and changed my life.
–But I didn’t know that the girl who liked me for ten years used April to weave a lie that I don’t love you.
As soon as I saw the beginning, I was immersed in the plot.
Known as a talented young man, Arima Kousei won numerous awards as soon as he debuted.
However, his mother passed away when he was 11 years old, and he gave up performing on stage.
With the introduction of childhood sweetheart Xiaochun.
Kousei Arima met a violinist named Kaoru Miyazono.
In the preliminary round of Tenghe Music Competition.
Kousei was attracted by Miyazono Kaoru’s free playing style and graceful posture.
Afterwards, Miyazono Kaoru invites Arima Kousei to be her accompanist during the competition…
…………
Mei Baihe went from being disdainful when she took over the outline to being obsessed with it, and finally being moved when Miyazono Kaoru passed away and left a suicide note expressing her love.
Mr. Kousei Arima:
It feels weird to be writing to you now, having just been with you.
I told a lie, it was a lie that I liked Du.
That was a lie I made up.
In fact, you are more timid and stubborn than I thought, but just as gentle.
The water in the river where you jump off the Courage Test Bridge must be very cold, right?
The full moon in the music room looked like a steamed bun, and when it was racing with the tram, I really thought I could win.
What a fun night to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star…
I should be focusing on the stage, but I always indulge in these trivial scenes.
What do you think?
Can I live in your heart?
Will you think of me even for a moment?
Don’t forget me, we have an appointment.
It’s great to choose you.
Arima Kousei-kun, I love you! I love you! I love you! ! !
I’m sorry, I didn’t finish my koroli, I kept hitting you, and I was so mad at you…
In short, there are so many things and so many apologies.
Thank you – Miyazono Kaoru
Mei Baihe burst into tears when she saw the ending.
“Idiot! Xiaoxun is such an idiot! How could someone write a confession in a suicide note, wuwuwu…”
She couldn’t calm down for a long time, and with a bang, she slammed the outline on the table.
This sound woke up Chu Qingfeng, whose brain had long been drained.
He sat up suddenly with a bewildered look on his face.
“What’s up?!”
“Was it an earthquake?”
But in the next second, a small, soft body crawled into his arms.
Mei Baihe’s eyes were red, and she was sniffing lightly, looking at Chu Qingfeng eagerly.
“Feng Jun, can you change the ending and let Xiaoxun come back to life? If you don’t win the prize, I’ll give you the one million.”
“Xiaoxun is so pitiful. Isn’t there a saying in Dongda University that lovers will eventually marry?”
“Can you please let Xiaoxun come back to life?”
Chu Qingfeng held the little Mei Baihe in his arms and comforted her gently.
At this moment, she was like a little kitten, acting pitifully in his arms.
However, this trick didn’t work on Chu Qingfeng.
It is impossible to change it.
Regret is the most sympathetic thing in the world.
Moreover, this comic has sold more than 4 million copies on Earth.
Its commercial value cannot be purchased with just 1 million yen.
“No, this show is very important to me. If you want to see a happy ending, pay me and I might draw one.”
Chu Qingfeng put his arm around Meibaihe Yingying’s waist.
Place it gently in front of the corn.
midnight.
“Shooter, shooter.”
Chu Qingfeng really didn’t expect that there would be a game similar to League of Legends in this world.
After playing two games, my shooter was not good enough, and I finally turned off my phone angrily and fell asleep.
After all, he has to go to work tomorrow.
But these days will soon be over.
When his comics are officially signed and win comic awards, that’s when he will concentrate on making comics.
Ten days passed quickly.
It was the last day for Kodansha to accept manuscripts.
During these ten days, he worked at a convenience store during the day.
I went home to work on the drawings at night, and even rejected Mei Baihe’s game invitation.
Women will only affect the speed at which he draws his sword.
Finally, within ten days and with the proficiency of the mastery level, all the drawings of April’s Lie were completed.
I immediately contacted the whitening clinic and went crazy.
After adding three points of Xing Ai proficiency in a row, he fell asleep reluctantly.
The next morning.
Chu Qingfeng got up from the bed quietly and carefully broke free from Meibaihe’s koala-like entanglement.
The woman grumbled a few times in dissatisfaction in her sleep, turned over and fell into a deep sleep again.
He quickly washed up, picked up the drawings in the file bag and went out.
The morning breeze was cool, and Chu Qingfeng tightened his collar.
He took a special leave today to submit his article.
Actually, you can also submit it by email, but today is the last day for submissions to the Kodansha Manga Award.
Think about the possibility of express delivery delays and mailbox malfunctions.
To be on the safe side, he decided to go to the editorial office in person.
As soon as he walked out of the apartment gate and onto the main road, Chu Qingfeng stopped a taxi and got into the back seat.
“Go to Kodansha.”
Automatically subscribe to the latest chapter
Chapter 6 Miss, Are You Married? (Old Version)
After coming to this world for more than a month, Chu Qingfeng has already learned a lot about the comics industry.
Here, there are only two channels for new cartoonists to make their debut.
1. Register various social media accounts. Once you’ve accumulated enough followers by posting artwork, fan fiction, and serialized original works on your social media accounts, publishers will naturally be interested and approach you to write for them. This can be a great opportunity for new artists to debut.
Second, the traditional way: New artists draw a rough draft of a comic strip and submit it directly to the editor for review. If the work is appreciated by the editor, they can be officially signed and have the opportunity to be serialized.
Chu Qingfeng had tried both paths before, but without any results.
“Guests, we’ve arrived.”
While I was thinking, the taxi had already stopped in front of the gate of Kodansha.
“The total is 5200 yen. Would you like to pay by card or cash?”
Chu Qingfeng felt a little distressed. More than 5,000 yuan was enough for him to eat high-standard lunch boxes for several days.
But what can he do? Today is the last day for the deadline and he must arrive early.
What if something happens on the way? Wouldn’t these ten days be wasted?
“guest?”
Seeing that Chu Qingfeng didn’t react at all.
The driver asked again politely, but this time his voice was noticeably louder.
Chu Qingfeng came to his senses, took out his wallet, pulled out a 5,000-yuan note and a 200-yuan coin and handed them to the driver, determined to walk back later.
Just ten kilometers and my liver is gone!
It’s not a loss anyway.
The front desk of the Kodansha Building, Otowa 2-chome, Toshima-ku, Tokyo.
Xiao Tianyou has been standing at the front desk of Kodansha for three years.
The morning light filtered through the glass curtain wall into the hall and fell on her fluffy short curly hair, revealing a light golden sheen.
She was wearing a sharply tailored black business suit with a skirt that hit just below her knees.
It’s neither too formal nor too professional.
Whenever someone pushed the door open, he would nod slightly, with the corners of his lips raised in just the right angle.
While greeting with a smile, quickly glance at the visitor’s chest to confirm whether he or she is wearing a company nameplate.
If you are not wearing a nameplate, they will ask in a gentle voice whether you have a reservation or an admission pass. The voice is soft but firm and will not tolerate any perfunctory comments.
At this moment, a taxi slowly stopped in front of the building.
A young man in a white T-shirt got out of the car.
The morning breeze blew past, and the fabric clung slightly to his body, vaguely outlining the tight lines of his waist and abdomen.
He was holding tightly in his hand a bulging file bag, about two fingers thick.
He shook his head and beneath his slightly messy hair was a handsome face full of youth.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of clear and bright eyes, which make people feel a sense of vitality just by looking at them.
Xiao Dianyou stared at the young man walking in.
In her words, it can be summed up in two words – handsome guy!
But no matter how handsome you are, you can’t force your way in.
This is Kodansha, one of the three giants of anime. You can just barge in without a reservation or an admission card.
This is too rude.
“Guest, guest, wait a minute…”
Xiao Dianyou walked forward quickly in high-heeled leather shoes and stretched out her hand to block.
Chu Qingfeng paused, his eyes falling on the receptionist with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, who looked like a married woman, and asked, “What’s going on?”
Xiao Dianyou paused slightly. The lines that were supposed to be spoken by her were suddenly snatched away from her, making her feel as if her role was misplaced.
Fortunately, the professional instincts honed during three years of front desk work immediately took over the situation.
“Good morning, sir. I see you don’t have a nameplate, so you’re not an employee of the company, right?”
“What can I do for you?”
“I’m here to submit an article.” Chu Qingfeng said calmly.
“Are you here to submit an article?” Xiao Dianyou was obviously a little confused. “Have you submitted an article before?”
Generally, submissions are made by mail or email, and few people submit in person. Could this person not know this?
“Have you submitted your manuscript to our house before?” Xiao Dianyou asked politely. She couldn’t just ask directly, “Have you submitted your manuscript to our house before?”
This is too rude, after all, she is representing Kodansha at the front desk.
“No.” Chu Qingfeng shook his head.
It is true.
Xiao Dianyou rolled her eyes at the other person in her heart, thinking that he was just a newcomer who knew nothing.
But I still politely explained, “You’d better submit it by email. You don’t have a track record at our publishing house, and no editor would be willing to respond if you come directly to the publishing house.”
“I know that. It’s okay. I just need to find an editor to submit my article. Once the editor sees it, he will come to me.”
When Chu Qingfeng said this, his tone was calm and he said it was as simple as drinking water.
“Well… if that’s the case, it would be possible, but today is the critical stage of selecting the finalists for the Manga Awards, and the editors are all very busy.”
“Normally I would have let you in, but today I can’t. I’m so sorry, please forgive me.”
Xiao Dianyou bowed to apologize, and Da Lei, wrapped in a professional suit, looked rounder as she bowed 30 degrees.
“No, I came here today just for the comic book appreciation.”
“No, sir, please go back.”
Chu Qingfeng realized that he couldn’t get in under normal circumstances and had to take a shortcut.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to use the way of social etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years in Dongda University: “When the road is difficult, money is used as a horse; when the government office is deep, wine is used as a boat.”
But since he came from Earth, he couldn’t be sure whether the people in this world would buy into this.
I can only say try it.
“Miss, can you please excuse me for a moment?” He bowed slightly and made an elegant invitation gesture.
Xiao Dianyou glanced at the exquisite watch on her wrist and felt that it was time to take a break.
As the company’s receptionist, she couldn’t refuse directly, so as not to leave a bad impression on others. This was a detail that her supervisor repeatedly emphasized.
The two came to a secluded place behind the pillars.
“Miss, this opportunity is very important to me. Please help me.”
“Guest, you’d better go back early and submit it via email. Maybe you can still make it by the deadline.”
“Just help me this once, okay?”
“Damn… Hey!!! Sir, what are you doing…”
Xiao Dianyou was about to refuse when suddenly two stacked diamond-shaped 10,000-yen bills appeared in her palm.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and her peripheral vision quickly swept around. The surveillance camera was blocked by the corridor column, and the nearest colleague was ten meters away.
Twenty thousand yen is equivalent to her two days’ salary or the price of a bottle of perfume she has longed for.
Chu Qingfeng added at the right moment: “This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don’t despise it. An elegant lady like you should use the best skin care products.”
Xiao Dianyou slid the banknote into the secret pocket of her uniform with a coquettish look, confirming the real touch of the banknote under the fabric.
“You’re really… embarrassing me. I’ll talk to the supervisor.”
“Okay!” Chu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that money is omnipotent in any world.
After a while, Xiao Dianyou came back wearing high heels.
She told Chu Qingfeng not to talk too much and took him around the elevator and walked through the stairwell on the side.
“By the way, I forgot to ask which editorial department you want to submit to?”
“Youth department, girls department, children’s department, or a combination department?”
“Junior Division.” Chu Qingfeng did not hesitate. April Lies had debuted in the Junior Division of Kodansha.
After coming to this world, he naturally followed the trajectory and delivered his works.
Xiao Dianyou nodded, “Okay, then follow me.”
After saying that, Xiao Dianyou walked in front to lead the way, her high heels making crisp sounds on the ground.
Snap, clack…
Chu Qingfeng followed behind slowly.
My eyes were involuntarily drawn to her back.
The curves wrapped in the black OL suit kept changing as she climbed the stairs.
Especially the plump buttocks and the long legs wrapped in hi-fi, which gradually become thinner from top to bottom.
The rounded curve converges at the waist.
And it rises just right at the fullest point.
There is an absolute area of ​​reverie between the edge of the skirt and the Hiss.
It seemed to be silently teasing Chu Qingfeng’s nerves.
“I’ve definitely seen this butt somewhere before!”
Chu Qingfeng secretly guessed in his heart, but he couldn’t remember which show or which teacher it was.
Kodansha, fifth floor.
Shonen Editorial Department, Monthly Shonen Magazine Office.
Editor Tetsuya Sakata looked intently at the manuscript in his hands.
His thick eyebrows sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned.
Tetsuya Sakata looked at the thick stack of manuscripts in his hand again and again, looking conflicted.
He had been repeating this action since an hour ago.
Boom boom boom.
A crisp knock on the door woke Tetsuya Sakata.
“Come in.”
The door opened and a receptionist dressed in black OL walked in.
She held a folder in her slender hands and bowed respectfully.
“Mr. Sakata, excuse me. This is my friend’s manuscript. The deadline for the Manga Contest is today, and I’m worried there might be problems with mailing it, so I’m being rude and taking the liberty of bringing it to you for your review.”
Seeing that the person coming was the company receptionist, Tetsuya Sakata nodded.
They were all colleagues who saw each other every day, so he didn’t care about such a situation.
I thought about how I was upset because the nameplate was damaged before, or because the beautiful receptionist in front of me didn’t make things difficult for me because the nameplate was not worn properly.
Today is also a way of returning a favor.
“Yeah, just leave it here. I’ll take a look at it later.”
Xiao Dianyou smiled and put the file bag in her hand on the table, gently closed the door, and then left the editorial department with Chu Qingfeng.
“Mr. Sakata is the friendliest and most fair editor at Monthly Shonen Magazine. When he reviews your manuscript, even if it’s not accepted, he will point out your shortcomings, rather than simply rejecting it like other editors. Just wait and see.”
“By the way, I heard there were a lot of submissions this year. I heard that they’re going to select the best award this year. Don’t be discouraged if you’re not selected.”
Xiaodianyou talked freely along the way.
I don’t know if it was because Chu Qingfeng was handsome that he wanted to chat more, or because of the 20,000 yen.
In short, Chu Qingfeng got a lot of useful information.
Xiao Dianyou sent Chu Qingfeng to the door.
Before leaving, looking at her graceful figure, especially the round buttocks wrapped in the uniform, I couldn’t help but ask:
“Miss, are you married? Or do you have a boyfriend?”
Xiao Dianyou covered her mouth and chuckled. She enjoyed the feminine charm that attracted the opposite sex.
“No.”
“Here’s my contact information. If you’re bored at night, call me. I’m a responsible man.”
Chu Qingfeng handed over a business card, a habit he developed as a salesperson on Earth.
I always feel like something is missing if I don’t have some business cards in my pocket.
“Freelance cartoonist—Chu Qingfeng?”
Xiao Dianyou hummed softly, took the business card and tentatively said, “Maybe you can treat me to a meal first so we can get to know each other better.”
“Next time, I have something urgent to do today.”
Chu Qingfeng also wanted to treat her to a meal.
But money can make a hero fall, so it’s better not to pretend to be cool if you don’t have money.
If it’s dealing with girls who have never seen the world, then it doesn’t matter.
You can easily get her to eat some inexpensive meal.
When we were on Earth, many ignorant girls were fooled by the sweet words of the yellow-haired man and walked into the cheap and moldy hotels.
He had thought about being a yellow-haired boy before, but under the supervision of his parents, he became a social animal. Sometimes he wondered how many little girls he could have had in-depth conversations with if he had been a yellow-haired boy.
“See you next time then.”
Hearing that the other party had something to do, Xiao Dianyou opened his mouth without asking any more questions.
Chu Qingfeng nodded without further ado, and turned and left.
I looked at the time and it was only noon, so I started shopping as the old saying goes, since I was already here.
Walking can help you stay strong. It doesn’t matter where you go.
In the past month, he was either on his way to work or drawing.
This was his first time shopping in this world.
Chapter 7 Can you take me in for one night? (Old version)
I’m a manga lover, starting with getting the landlord: Chapter 7 Can you take me in for a night?
From Toshima Ward all the way across Shinjuku and Shibuya.
After looking at the bustling streets, Chu Qingfeng walked back.
It was not until six o’clock in the afternoon that he received 800 points of physical proficiency and sat down in a Dongda restaurant.
After taking a look at the menu, he placed his order immediately.
“Beef noodles, more noodles, more beef!”
After a while, the ordered food was served.
“The beef noodles you ordered.”
“Thanks!”
Chu Qingfeng just had some snacks on the street at noon.
In addition, after running for dozens of kilometers, the little energy in his stomach had long been exhausted.
After taking a few bites, a timid voice came to my ear.
“Brother, can you…”
Chu Qingfeng was sitting at the door, so he turned around and took a look.
A pretty face, where have I seen this face before?
Dead brain, think quickly!
But before he could remember, the restaurant owner drove the blonde away.
“I’m sorry, please go somewhere else. I have guests here. Please.”
The little girl was just trying to be brave, but her hesitant face turned pale in an instant.
She lowered her head for a long time without saying a word, then shrank back weakly.
Go somewhere else.
“I’m sorry to have frightened you, sir.”
Facing the restaurant owner’s apology, Chu Qingfeng waved his hand and said nothing more.
After eating and drinking his fill, he touched his stomach and turned around to look.
The blonde girl was still sitting on the flower bed in the distance, looking around.
Chu Qingfeng couldn’t help but shake his head.
He always felt that he had seen this blonde girl somewhere, but he just couldn’t remember where.
As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, an internet cafe next to him caught his attention and he turned and walked into the internet cafe.
He just wanted to know what other fun games there were in the world.
About two hours later, Chu Qingfeng slowly walked out of the Internet cafe.
He walked forward a few steps with his head down, and suddenly seemed to remember something.
Then he looked around, but did not see the blonde girl anymore.
I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.
How could he be so stupid! He even forgot about the special overnight stay girl!
The girl just now was absolutely gorgeous with her beauty, long legs and golden hair!
“Forget it. What if I’m sick? Besides, now’s not the time for that. The system brought me to this world devoid of excellent anime. I’m not thinking about making the most of my strengths, but instead thinking about those things. It’s simply shameful.”
“A true man, living between heaven and earth, how can he be misled by wine and women?”
Chu Qingfeng’s pua even deceived himself and Lao Er, and he spoke nonsense to deceive himself.
Then he walked quickly down the street toward the apartment.
After walking a few hundred meters along the street, he suddenly froze, stopped, and muttered to himself:
“I’m only 1.80 meters tall. How can I be considered a man if I’m not even 2 meters tall?!”
His eyes were fixed on the blond girl who was sitting alone on the bench at the station.
Finally remembered who she was.
The heroine of Hanasaku Iroha – Matsumae Oka!
But shouldn’t she be at her grandmother’s hot spring hotel?
Why did you come to Tokyo?
Chu Qingfeng thought about the plot, but couldn’t remember it.
Matsumae Ouka naturally discovered Chu Qingfeng again.
She lowered her head, at a loss, looking confused and helpless.
After confirming the girl’s identity, Chu Qingfeng felt a little happy. Maybe he could realize his wish of becoming a yellow-haired boy today.
But now there are too many people on the site.
It was not a good time to take action, so Chu Qingfeng forced himself to suppress his restless heart and waited for the people at the station to get on the bus one by one.
Finally, when the bus left the station and only Matsumae Oka was left on the bench, he couldn’t help but walk over kindly.
“Hey, are you okay? I see you’ve been sitting here for a long time. Do you need any help?”
An excellent yellow-haired man must pretend.
You can’t just go up to her like a fool and ask: Girl, do you want to date me?
This is not impossible, but what good stuff can they promise? Most of them are buses that are about to be scrapped.
Or it might be carrying an infectious disease, and Chu Qingfeng would never touch such a person.
This is the principle.
Oka Matsumae obviously didn’t expect that someone would suddenly come to care about her.
She subconsciously moved to the other side of the bench to keep a safe distance from Chu Qingfeng.
“I-I’m fine, thank you.”
“Oh, if you have something to say, just say it. There are still many good people in the world. Don’t force yourself.”
Chu Qingfeng pretended to leave as if nothing had happened and quickly walked into a convenience store not far away.
I hurriedly bought some instant noodles, sausages and a few skewers of oden at the convenience store.
Seeing Chu Qingfeng like this, the clerk couldn’t help but jokingly asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you starving?”
“Haha, it’s more than just panic, hurry up and count the money!!”
“A total of 876 yuan.”
Chu Qingfeng paid the money, hurriedly sat on the chair, tore open the cup noodle package, added sausage, poured hot water and covered the lid.
The movements are done in one go.
Before leaving, he looked at the weather and saw that it was going to rain, so he took his small umbrella and walked out.
This scene left the clerk stunned.
While no customers were checking out, he lay at the door and looked out.
I saw Chu Qingfeng holding cup noodles in his left hand and oden in his right hand as he walked towards a bench at the station not far away.
“hiss!”
“Damn it, why didn’t I encounter such a good thing?”
Obviously the clerk had seen through the clues.
He had noticed the blonde girl at the station just now.
Unfortunately, I am too introverted and someone else got there first.
It was easily accomplished with just a bowl of instant noodles and a few skewers of oden.
At this moment, Chu Qingfeng was afraid that the girl would leave, so he hurried back to the station.
He turned his head and made eye contact with Matsumae Oka who was sitting on a bench.
Matsumae Oka looked timid.
Chu Qingfeng’s restless heart was instantly suppressed by him.
“You haven’t eaten yet.”
Chu Qingfeng walked forward and sat next to Matsumae Ouka.
He handed her the cup of noodles from a distance of one person’s width.
“Eat it. I just bought it from the convenience store. I didn’t add any extra stuff. Here’s the receipt.”
“If you’re worried, you can use my phone to contact the patrol officer after you finish eating.”
Matsumae Oka turned her head to look at Chu Qingfeng, pursed her lips, and looked at Chu Qingfeng warily.
Chu Qingfeng had a smile on his face that said, “I am a gentleman and I am a good person.”
Coupled with her good looks, Matsumae Oka let down her guard.
“Arigato…”
A voice as sweet as a lark came out of her mouth softly.
Chu Qingfeng smiled, put the food between the two of them and asked:
“It’s dangerous to be outside alone so late. Did you have a fight with your family?”
Matsumae Oka paused slightly, and a layer of mist immediately appeared in her eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Qingfeng did not pursue the matter with questions, but silently handed over the oden.
“Eat something first, then go home quickly. It’s not safe for you to be outside alone this late.”
“Hmm… wuwu…”
Matsumae Oka nodded rapidly, took the oden, and as soon as she picked up the chopsticks, tears almost fell from her eyes.
Chu Qingfeng took out a small handkerchief and handed it to her.
“Okay, it’s over. It’s so late and you’re not going back. Your family must be worried sick. Do you live far away? I’ll give you some money and you can take a bus back.”
The more Chu Qingfeng spoke, the redder Matsumae Oka’s eyes became.
But the strong character she had developed over the years made her never allow tears to fall in front of others.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Chu Qingfeng made an excuse that he was surfing the Internet in the internet cafe over there and left.
I returned to the Internet cafe, turned on a computer in the most conspicuous position, and sat there watching Naruto anime.
Then half an hour later, Oka Matsumae, who had short golden curly hair, came in timidly.
She had delicate cherry blossom hairpins on both sides of her temples, the round collar of her white T-shirt revealed her slender collarbone, and the hem was casually tucked into thin light blue denim hot pants, making her legs look even straighter and longer.
“elder brother……”
She walked over to Chu Qingfeng and patted him gently.
Chu Qingfeng pretended to be surprised and turned around and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you want me to take you home?”
Matsumae Ouka shook her head, her eyes hesitant at first, but then she immediately asked softly without reservation: “Can you help me find a place to stay for the night? Even your house is fine.”
Peng!!!
The explosive style of Kari, a member of the Iwagakure Village’s blasting team, appeared on the screen – Kekkei Genkai.
Chu Qingfeng suppressed his restless heart and said sternly: “This is not good. I am also a person. It will be bad for you if it gets out.”
“Takehirubu, I believe you are a good person, brother!”
Matsumae Oka shook her head stubbornly, believing that the handsome man in front of her was a good person.
………
ps:
Matsumae Ouka squatted on the ground with her hands on her knees, unable to hold back her tears any longer. “Please, dear readers, give me some free gifts.”
Chapter 8: Do you want to take a shower? (Old version)
Hearing the word “good person”, Chu Qingfeng couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
“What’s your name?” Although I know who the other person is, I still have to pretend not to know him.
“Ohana, Matsumae Ohana…”
At this moment, in a small hotel, in a small single room.
Chu Qingfeng asked Matsumae Oka to sit on the edge of the bed, while he himself sat cross-legged at the door with his back to the door and facing Matsumae Oka.
He certainly wouldn’t take anyone home.
When three people walk together, there must be one who can teach me something. I am afraid that I am not well prepared.
That’s why Chu Qingfeng decided to stay outside for one night.
“Ouka, what a nice name! She lives up to her name and is as beautiful as the flower.”
“Why are you wandering the streets alone today?”
Chu Qingfeng’s tone was quite gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring people away, so he remained patient the whole time.
Matsumae Oka sat on the edge of the bed.
A pair of straight long legs exposed to the air were stiffly pressed together.
The two little hands were a little awkward when tangled together, but not nervous at all.
She is originally a silly and sweet character.
Her mother dropped her off at her grandmother’s hot spring hotel, where she lived the life of a waitress under her grandmother’s strict teachings.
But I am not very worldly-wise and always believe that there are still good people in the world.
She looked at her kind and handsome brother without any defense, and said in a very innocent and angry tone:
“It’s all my mother’s fault. She maliciously defamed my grandmother’s Xicui Manor for money, which led to a decrease in customers. Now the hotel is almost unable to operate.”
“I came to Tokyo to fight against those who are causing chaos and making false comments.”
“But I just came out of the publishing house, and my luggage, wallet, and phone are all lost…”
When Oka Matsumae thought about what happened today, her eyes reddened and she sniffed softly, trying hard not to cry.
“I see!” Chu Qingfeng immediately understood the plot line in his mind.
Now Matsumae Oka should have come to Tokyo to find the publishing house and learned from the publishing house about the confrontation with the writers who slandered Kicui-so.
The writer is her mother, Matsumae Satsuki.
Then he took her back to Xicuizhuang, her grandmother’s hot spring hotel.
But why didn’t Ouka go to the male protagonist Koichi for help?
“How about I give you some money to go back to your mother?”
“No, I’d rather die outside than go to her place.” Matsumae Oka objected firmly in a firm voice.
“Do you have any other family or friends in Tokyo?”
Matsumae Oka thought about it and decided that she definitely had friends, but they were just acquaintances.
“No more…” She shook her head and said slowly.
After hearing the words he wanted to hear the most, Chu Qingfeng finally let go of the stone in his heart.
It’s settled!
“In that case, call your grandmother and let her know you’re safe.”
“Otherwise, the old man will be worried if he can’t contact you.”
Chu Qingfeng suddenly thought of something. He didn’t want to be recognized as a criminal and wanted all over the world.
Hearing this, Matsumae Oka nodded silently. Although her grandmother was strict, she had taught her that she still had to make many phone calls.
“Um…thank you.”
“Haha, you’re welcome. By the way, my name is Chu Qingfeng. If you like, you can call me Feng Jun.”
Chu Qingfeng smiled and handed over the phone and introduced himself.
“Feng Jun? Then, you can also call me Oka.” Matsumae Oka took the phone with a red face and did not refuse Chu Qingfeng’s suggestion.
In this country, only close friends would drop the last name and call each other by the first name.
Even the people who called her Ouka were only her family and friends in Kicui-sou.
“Okay! Ouka, go tell your grandma you’re safe first.”
Chu Qingfeng nodded and signaled for Matsumae Ouka to make the call.
Inside Xicui Village.
At the front desk of the Japanese-style inn, the proprietress of Xicui Zhuang, Shishiwan Cui, who was wearing a light green bathrobe, was standing at the front desk with a frown on her face, her eyes fixed on the phone on the table.
“Where the hell is Ouka? Her phone is always off!”
Sishiwan Cui has always been a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she is usually strict with others, she also has a gentle side.
“Boss lady, don’t worry, maybe Ouka’s phone just ran out of battery.”
The waiter manager, Tomoe Rinjima, tried to comfort him softly, but his frown never relaxed.
When the employees working at Kicui-so learned that Matsumae Oka had lost contact, their faces were filled with worry.
They all stood at the hotel front desk, anxiously waiting for Oka Matsumae to call back.
Sishiwan Cui shook her head, and her already serious face became terribly gloomy at this moment.
If there is no news from Ouka by midnight, she will call the police.
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously.
The phone rang.
Sishiwan Cui picked up the phone as soon as she heard it ringing.
“This is Xicui Manor. Is there anything you need?”
“You said you were Ouka?!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in their hearts was finally put down.
“You lost your phone? Is everyone okay?”
“I see. Great!”
After Sishiwan Cui learned about the situation, she hung up the phone.
“Everyone go get some rest. Ouka is fine. She lost her phone and is staying at a friend’s house now.”
“I’m so glad Ouka is okay.”
“Yeah, if she doesn’t call me again, I’m going to go to Tokyo to see her tonight.”
“Yes, yes, that’s what I thought too. I’m glad you’re alright.”
Everyone’s words made Sishiwan Cui feel warm in her heart.
It is such a blessing to have such a group of friends together.
But all good things must come to an end, and I can’t trap everyone with my dreams…
After hanging up the phone, Oka Matsushita returned the phone to Chu Qingfeng.
“Calling your own grandmother the boss lady, are you two playing some role-playing game?”
Chu Qingfeng livened up the atmosphere and kept finding topics to bring the two closer.
Hearing this, Matsumae Oka remembered how clumsy she was when she first arrived at Kicui-so.
He burst out laughing.
At the same time, I didn’t control the strength well, and a snot bubble happened to come out of my nostrils.
“ah!”
Oka Matsumae screamed softly, feeling both shy and anxious.
Chu Qingfeng, however, thought the little girl’s snot bubbles were cute.
He laughed heartily and casually pulled out two tissues and handed them over.
Matsumae Oka blushed, covered her nose and hurriedly took it.
“Thank you~~”
“You’ve been tired all day, why don’t you take a shower first? There are toiletries in the shower room outside.”
Matsumae Oka blushed and said in panic, “I…washed before going out this morning.”
“Okay, then don’t wash it.”
“By the way, I might have to stay here for one night too. It’s almost one in the morning, and it’s too late to go back. I have to go to work tomorrow. Do you mind if I sleep on the floor?”
Seeing how panicked Matsumae Ouka was, Chu Qingfeng was afraid that if he pressed too hard, the cooked duck would fly away.
He tried with a smile on his face.
“ah?”
“No, I don’t mind…”
Matsumae Oka said she didn’t mind but she was still very nervous.
To be honest, she was very scared.
She was afraid that the other party would do something excessive, but she couldn’t show it.
“Okay, then I’ll go out and take a shower. You go to sleep first.” Chu Qingfeng stood up and walked outside.
Seeing Chu Qingfeng walking out, Matsumae Ouka was delighted.
As long as the other person goes out, she can sleep peacefully after closing the door.
As for the kindness of helping me, I will definitely repay it double in the future!
But the next second, Chu Qingfeng followed up with a sentence: “I’ll take the room card first. You need a room card to enter the shower room, otherwise you can’t take a shower. You go to bed first.” He spoke to Matsumae Oka in a very natural tone and expression.
He reached out and pulled the room card out of the card slot, and before Ouka Matsumae could react, he was already out the door.
With the sound of the door closing, the only light left in the room was the neon light outside the window shining through the gaps in the loose curtains, leaving a faint glow.
In the small single room, Matsumae Oka was alone, facing the cold and dark world…
After walking out of the room, Chu Qingfeng went straight to the shower room.
No matter what happens tonight, the necessary steps must be taken.
I walked quickly towards the bathroom, but the cute image of Matsumae Oka kept appearing in my mind.
As I thought about it, my anger grew.
“That’s right!”
“I remember that Xicui Manor eventually closed down, and there were still many employees who were reluctant to leave. If I had more money, maybe I could buy Xicui Manor and transform it into my own hot spring resort…”
Chu Qingfeng’s mind flashed with the images of the female employees in Xicui Manor with very different personalities.
The thought of buying Xicui Zhuang in the future, taking over all the employees, paying them high salaries and keeping them to take care of his daily life made him feel uncomfortable.
I can’t even imagine what kind of magical day that was.
“I love taking a bath, it feels so good~~~”
After taking a quick shower and rubbing my whole body, I ran back happily in my bathrobe, feeling refreshed and excited.
Beep beep———
Chu Qingfeng swiped the room card to open the door, walked into the room and gently closed the door.
He immediately inserted the card, turned on the light, and looked at the bed.
Then I saw a slight bulge under the white quilt.
Apparently, Oka Matsumae hid herself in bed.
As for the empty hooks on the wall, it was obvious that the other person slept with his clothes on.
“Ouka, are you asleep?”
“Hmm…” Matsumae Oka, who wrapped herself up like a caterpillar, was so nervous that her whole body was stiff and she responded softly.
It was actually not comfortable for her to lie like this, especially in the summer, and she would sweat a lot.
But if she didn’t do this, she was afraid that Chu Qingfeng would suddenly come in…
She admitted that Chu Qingfeng was very good and was willing to help her.
But she can’t pay a huge price just for others to help her.
At this time, even her voice was trembling: “Feng, Feng Jun, are you done washing?”
“Mm, it feels so good to wash.”
Chu Qingfeng’s mouth corners slightly raised, and he couldn’t help but feel chilled by the nervous look of Matsumae Ouka.
If the other person seems very casual or even overly proactive, it will be boring.
Chu Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the ground and browsed his phone for a while. He turned his head and saw the sweaty Matsumae Ouka looking at him pitifully. He couldn’t help but laugh, “You sleep, I’ll just sleep on the ground. It won’t bother you.”
“Oh…” Matsumae Oka obviously wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a long time.
After Chu Qingfeng put on his headphones and played with his phone, he finally asked in a low voice, “Mr. Feng, what time is it now?”
Chu Qingfeng took off his headphones and pretended not to hear.
I turned my head to look at Ouka Matsumae, who was curled up in bed, wrapped herself like a caterpillar.
“Hmm? Are you talking to me?”
Matsumae Ouka suddenly lost the courage to chase Chu Qingfeng out and get another room, and quickly said: “No, nothing…”
Chu Qingfeng played dumb, said “oh”, and continued to browse his phone, pretending to be a good person and focusing all his attention on the phone.
From time to time, I glanced out the window, shouting in my heart:
If I walk out of this room today, I will be called an idiot!
The room fell silent.
Chu Qingfeng liked fishing when he was on Earth. What is the most important thing about fishing?
Be patient!
He was silent at this moment.
As for Matsumae Oka, she was lying on the bed nervously.
Beads of sweat slid down the red earlobes, leaving marks on the pillowcase.
I was covered with a quilt and there was no air conditioning in the room.
I could only quietly lift the corner of the quilt and fan myself quickly like a thief to cool myself down.
Finally she couldn’t bear the heat anymore.
He glanced at Chu Qingfeng who was completely obsessed with his mobile phone, lifted the quilt, revealing his sweat-drenched body. The white T-shirt on his body was already soaked and stuck to his slightly undulating curves.
No longer tormented by the stuffiness, Matsumae Ouka let out a breath.
Under tremendous mental pressure, maybe he was really tired.
After a long while, my eyelids finally began to twitch.
Chapter 9 Don’t be afraid, I’ll just hold you for a while and do nothing else (Old Version)
Not long after, Chu Qingfeng heard soft breathing sounds coming from the bed next door.
Matsumae Oka was so tired that she actually snored…
A girl full of youthfulness, even her snoring sounds so cute.
Chu Qingfeng lay on the ground, watching quietly, but still did not take any action.
After a long time, he stood up quietly and walked to the bed.
Tokyo is still bustling in the early morning.
In Toshima Ward, several floors of Kodansha are still brightly lit.
In the office of Monthly Shonen Magazine.
Editor Tetsuya Sakata is still reviewing manuscripts and selecting shortlisted works.
“Sakata-kun, aren’t you leaving yet?”
“You guys go ahead, I’ll take a look at this manuscript.”
“Don’t work too hard, Sakata-kun. There’s never enough work to do.”
“Hehe…it’s okay, you guys go first. I have too much to do, and I won’t be able to finish it without working overtime.”
Today is the deadline for the comic book competition, and everyone is working overtime.
Tetsuya Sakata is always slower than others in reviewing manuscripts.
It’s not that he has any procrastination problem, but that he is careful.
Unlike other editors, he would not reject works he didn’t like or were simply rubbish.
Instead, they will patiently give replies or suggestions.
Many newcomers gave him high praise.
After a quick greeting, Tetsuya Sakata picked up the last drawing, which was the file bag sent by Xiao Tianyou.
The name of the contributor was written on it, Chu Qingfeng.
When I opened it, I saw a drawing that was two fingers thick.
The title is written on the first A4 paper at the beginning.
Your Lie in April.
Tetsuya Sakata continued to look down, and pages of manuscripts appeared before his eyes.
Clean lines, accurate storyboards, and images that are almost comparable to the final draft.
This drawing gave Tetsuya Sakata a very good first impression.
He decided to spend more time on this work, even if its plot was a mess, he would read it carefully and give his suggestions.
The first chapter is about a black and white world turning into a colorful one, the second chapter is about a friend A…
Kousei Arima won many piano competitions when he was in elementary school.
When Kousei was 11 years old and about to participate in a music competition, his mother passed away. From then on, he began to hate the piano and gradually gave up playing it.
“Is this a story about a young man’s redemption…”
After seeing the beginning and combining the title and the opening story, Tetsuya Sakata guessed the core of the story.
His gaze continued downward.
In the spring of his fourteenth year, the protagonist met the beautiful violinist Kaoru Miyazono and was attracted by her music.
They became good friends after being introduced by their childhood sweetheart Xiaochun.
When Kousei and others arrived at the competition venue with Kaoru, the tense and heavy atmosphere in the competition field reminded Kousei of his mother.
Finally, it was Xun’s turn to perform. Her unique understanding of music won applause from the audience and also made Kousei’s long-dormant musical heart beat again.
With the help of Xiaochun and Adu, Kousei and Xun arrived at the competition venue in time.
Kousei has very little confidence in himself and has been practicing hard before the competition. Kaoru’s encouragement gives him strength, and the time has come for the two of them to go on stage to perform.
At the beginning, they cooperated very well.
However, Kousei didn’t cooperate well during the performance, so Kaoru played alone.
Due to the constant problems during the competition, Xun also lost his qualification for the finals due to fainting.
Kousei has always been trapped by his inner demons and feels very guilty about it.
However, Xun had no complaints. She hoped that Kousei could continue playing the piano and asked him to participate in the piano competition.
The piano competition registration has been submitted, but Kousei’s performance is still a mess. Kaoru patiently guides Kousei.
Seeing this, Tetsuya Sakata felt something was wrong.
From the story’s mention of Kaoru’s illness and the protagonist’s feelings towards the stage…
Based on his many years of editing experience.
There’s a 99% chance that this comic contains knives!
Then his gaze moved downwards.
Tetsuya Sakata, completely immersed in the story.
Before he knew it, it was three in the morning and he had finished reading the last episode.
At this moment, his eyes fell on the letter that Kaoru left for Kousei after his death.
Mr. Arima Kousei, I was with you just now, but now I’m writing to you. It feels weird. I told a lie. I lied about liking Watari…
“Hiss, there really is a knife!”
After reading the last picture, Tetsuya Sakata put down the manuscript and stood silently by the window.
He pulled a cigarette from his pocket.
He lit it, took a deep puff and slowly exhaled the smoke.
The image of the knife-wielding man in his mind did not dissipate with the smoke, but became clearer instead.
Especially the sentence: This lie brought you…to me.
Tetsuya Sakata felt his nose sore.
It was like seeing a girl who always stays in April running in the cherry blossom rain.
When he returned to his seat, his eyes fell on the file bag with the name of the contributor written on it.
“With a story like this, character design, and a clear storyboard, if this is really a newcomer, I can only call him a beet…”
Tetsuya Sakata couldn’t help but admire.
It seemed that he was still grieving over the death of Miyazono Kaoru, and he picked up the letter as the final easter egg, his mind empty.
Let’s not even mention how much of a shock Your Lie in April will bring to the editors at Kodansha.
At this moment, Chu Qingfeng stood quietly beside the bed and watched the snoring girl.
He leaned forward, one hand on the bed.
Almost face to face with the girl.
The faint snoring sound was amplified due to the closer distance.
Chu Qingfeng smiled and reached out to pinch the girl’s nose.
“Hoo… gulp… cough cough…”
Oka Matsumae was awakened, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked in horror at the handsome face that was almost only a finger’s distance away from her.
He asked in a voice that was almost shaking and about to cry.
“Feng, Feng-kun, don’t be like this…”
Chu Qingfeng looked puzzled: “What nonsense are you talking about? I pinched your nose because your snoring was too loud.”
“Huh? I, I snore?”
“What else?”
“Pay attention, I’m going to bed.”
Oka Matsumae’s cheeks felt hot when she was accused of snoring.
She shyly covered her head with the quilt, leaving only a small gap to look at Chu Qingfeng who was lying on the ground again.
Isn’t it too rude to eat human food, live in human society, and let people sleep on the ground?
Besides, Feng Jun is a good person, and I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary when I fell asleep.
Why not let him sleep next to you.
Matsumae Oka struggled for a long time, and finally she seemed to have made some kind of decision.
“Feng, Feng Jun…why don’t you sleep here? Since you’re all dressed…”
She almost lost her voice at the end of her speech.
The timid girl’s voice reached Chu Qingfeng’s ears, “Of course it’s better to sleep on the bed.”
It’s just a matter of time anyway.
“Okay, then be careful not to snore.”
Upon hearing this, Matsumae Oka’s face turned even redder.
Chu Qingfeng didn’t hesitate and turned around to lie down on the bed.
When passing by the pants hook, he took out a small object from his pocket and placed it under the pillow.
The only sounds in the room besides heavy breathing were the pounding heartbeats.
Matsumae Oka was nervous and embarrassed to go back on her word.
Feeling someone lying down next to her, Matsumae Oka shuddered noticeably.
The bed was very small, a single bed, and the quilt was not big either, so the two of them naturally slumped together.
Although there was clothing between them, Chu Qingfeng could feel the girl’s body trembling slightly due to nervousness.
Chu Qingfeng naturally turned sideways and whispered:
“Don’t be afraid, just turn your back to me and go to sleep.”
When Matsumae Oka heard this, the sound that was as tight as a bowstring gradually relaxed.
“Hmm~”
She responded softly, and carefully turned Shengzi and Chu Qingfeng so that they were back to back.
A few seconds passed in silence.
Ouka Matsushita suddenly asked weakly, “Feng, Feng-kun, can I call you Onii-chan?”
Chu Qingfeng: ???
Do you want to listen to what you are saying.
Chu Qingfeng raised the corner of his mouth and gently refused: “Of course not.”
“Why, Feng Jun, since I was a child…”
Chu Qingfeng didn’t waste any time and turned over and hugged her from behind.
“Of course not, because I like you.”
“ah?!”
Matsumae Oka’s whole body trembled violently.
Chu Qingfeng hugged her tightly and comforted her: “Don’t be afraid, I’ll just hug you and don’t do anything.”
ps: Please give me some free data~
Chapter 10: Call Odosan (Old Version)
“If you want to play games and role-play, you can call me Odosan.”
Chu Qingfeng hugged the slender waist that could be held in one hand, and joked while pressing against Matsumae Ouka’s back.
When he smelled the unique fragrance of Chu Zi, a large amount of dopamine was secreted in his brain, and he also felt that he was even more excessive than Huang Mao.
And Matsumae Ouka also thinks so.
“Da… Da me…”
“Don’t be afraid, I will…”
“You’re lying…”
Matsumae Ouka whimpered softly, “The next sentence will definitely be ‘I’m Chenchen…'”
Chu Qingfeng lowered his voice and said, “You know quite a lot. You know all this.”
Matsumae Ouka tensed up, “Don’t, don’t talk about this, I’m scared.”
“I’m just trying to lighten the mood.”
“It’s already like this, how can we ease the situation…” Matsumae Oka was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m just…”
“Woo woo woo, I knew it.”
Matsumae Oka shook her head vigorously, and used her two small hands to stop herself from pulling it out in panic.
In panic, the tears in her beautiful eyes finally fell uncontrollably.
She said in a hurried voice, almost begging:
“Dosan…”
“Don’t scare me…”
Hearing Oka Matsumae’s incoherent crying voice, Chu Qingfeng stopped moving.
Instead, he withdrew his hand and gently turned Ouka Matsumae’s voice.
The two faced each other.
Matsumae Oo cried like a rose in the rain.
The tears that had accumulated all day fell down like they were free.
Chu Qingfeng touched her head distressedly and spoke softly:
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, don’t cry.”
“Take your time, okay?”
“Hmm… uh?” Matsumae Oka’s mind was blank and she agreed casually.
Chu Qingfeng hugged her from the front and asked softly:
“Has Ouka ever been confessed to?”
“No……”
Oka Matsumae sniffled, wiped the tears from her beautiful eyes with her hands, and cried with a tone of great grievance.
“I’ve already let you hold me, and you still want more… What am I going to do in the future…”
“I will be responsible for you from now on.” Chu Qingfeng asked with a smile: “Okay?”
Matsumae Ouka shook her head with tears in her eyes: “Oh no, I… I always thought you were a good person, wuwuwu… You are not a good person.”
“Of course I’m a good person!”
“I wish I could tear my heart out and show it to you right now.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that Ouka is so adorable, I wouldn’t have broken the principles I’ve followed for years just for you.”
The fabricated drama is being staged again.
These words, coupled with the sincere tone, were easily grasped by a mere girl with little experience in the world!
Chu Qingfeng said this, but his hand was dishonestly placed on Matsumae Oka’s shoulder.
Oka Matsumae’s eyes were filled with tears and her face turned red with shame.
Looking at the man in front of me with a serious face.
And because of the face-to-face position, it was impossible to break free.
I could only let Chu Qingfeng listen to him and say, “Do you believe in fate?”
“You see, our meeting was arranged by the Stone of Destiny.”
“If I hadn’t eaten at the restaurant, and if you hadn’t lost your wallet and luggage in Tokyo, would we have met?”
“Ouka, think carefully. All of this is arranged by the Stone of Destiny.”
Chu Qingfeng became more and more excited as he spoke, and his yellow-haired personality, which was a bit childish, was fully utilized.
Matsumae Oka was no match for him, she was panting and crying.
“Da…Da Mie, don’t do this again.”
“Please, I feel so bad.”
“Then will you promise me?”
“I……”
Matsumae Oka blushed and bit her lips, feeling extremely anxious and at a loss as to what to do.
She clutched her arms tightly with both hands, trying hard to keep herself from losing her mind.
To be honest, I do have a good impression of the handsome man in front of me.
But it was too fast…
“Um… I, wait a minute.”
The phone on the table suddenly rang.
The ordinary cell phone ringtone sounded like heavenly music to Oka Matsumae’s ears.
“Phone, answer the phone first.”
Oka Matsumae used all her strength to move to a safe distance.
But Chu Qingfeng, who was immersed in the conqueror mode, didn’t care about this or that.
“Never mind it. It’s definitely a harassing call late at night. It’s too rude at this time.”
“Ouka, are you hot? Take off your coat, or you’ll sweat all over and catch a cold.”
“No! I know what you want to do…”
“I’m a good person, how could I have any bad intentions? It’s just a coat. If you catch a cold, I’ll be worried about you.”
“No, woo woo woo, I promise you, please don’t scare me, okay.”
“Go answer the phone first, okay?”
“Oh? That’s what you said!” Chu Qingfeng’s eyes lit up and he kissed her on the forehead again.
Then he picked up the phone on the table.
I just took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar landline number, so I turned it to silent mode and turned the screen over.
Late at night, the editorial office is quiet.
Tetsuya Sakata finally turned off the lights and left work. After walking out the door, he hailed a taxi and rushed home.
Half an hour later, he returned to his apartment.
Click—he gently opened the door.
What greeted him was not quiet darkness, but his wife’s care.
The wife spoke very softly, afraid to disturb the sleeping child.
She took the briefcase from her husband and asked as she took her slippers, “Did everything go well today?”
“Well, I saw a very good submission today, it’s really great!”
“Really? Tell me about it.”
Before becoming a full-time housewife, Tetsuya Sakata’s wife was also a comics editor.
Hearing my husband praise a comic book so excitedly.
It also successfully aroused her curiosity.
“Any midnight snacks?”
“I’ll talk while I eat.”
When the gauze curtain was lifted by the night wind, the cicadas’ chirping suddenly stopped. Matsumae Oka curled up at the edge of the moonlight, watching Chu Qingfeng’s shadow on the wall gradually spread across her throat, and she whimpered like a kitten.
Chu Qingfeng touched her face and comforted her gently.
“Ouka, what we have is not a transaction, it’s love.”
“You promised me to help me…”
“Of course, I mean what I say.”
In the face of Oka Matsumae’s delicate resistance, he easily pulled down the hot pants that were blocking his love…
Chapter 11 Invitation from an OL White-Collar Worker (Old Version)
People in the comics of Zongman, starting from getting the landlord: Chapter 11 OL white-collar invitation picture and text
That’s about it…
Chu Qingfeng never believed in light.
At this moment, he believed it.
It’s so white that it glows!!
As the night draws to a close, a hint of dawn appears in the east.
5 a.m.
There were more vehicles on the road and the tram system started to operate.
A large modern city gradually wakes up in the hustle and bustle.
The morning light shone through the loose curtains onto the crowded single bed.
Chu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked to his side as if nothing had happened.
A woman with golden curly hair had her back to him.
From the gap in the quilt.
You can also see the woman’s slender white back.
After putting on his clothes, Chu Qingfeng went out.
After a while, he came back, but with a few more bags in his hands.
After putting the things on the table, Chu Qingfeng gently kissed the sleeping girl on the forehead.
The movement was a bit heavy and woke people up.
Matsumae Oka frowned.
In a daze, she used her slender little hands to smooth away her messy hair.
Reveal delicate, collagen-filled fair cheeks.
She opened her beautiful eyes with difficulty.
Looking at the man reflected in her pupils, she greeted him softly in a hoarse voice.
“Good morning, Feng-kun…”
“Sleep a little longer. I bought some things for you and put them on the table. You can try them yourself later.”
“I left you 5,000 yen. Take it for living expenses. I have to go to work.”
After saying that, Chu Qingfeng left.
He is still on the early shift today.
Fortunately, the location of the small hotel is not far from a convenience store.
Jogging all the way.
It not only exercises the body but also saves money.
Only half a loaf of bread is consumed per kilometer.
At Tetsuya Sakata’s home.
At the dinner table.
The Sakata family of three are having breakfast.
“Ryoko, are you okay?”
Tetsuya Sakata noticed that his wife looked absent-minded.
Her eyes were red as if she had been crying.
It’s worrying just looking at it.
“It’s okay. The story last night reminded me of my junior high school classmates.”
Tetsuya Sakata sighed and consoled: “Life is always full of regrets. Only an imperfect life is a real life.”
“Dosan, I also think life is imperfect.”
“Oh? Then tell me how it’s not perfect.” Tetsuya Sakata looked at his ten-year-old son, who often said surprising and eccentric things, and was curious about what outrageous words he would say.
Across the table, Sakata Tetsuya’s son’s black pupils swirled around, and he said slyly:
“Just like when the rich gain wealth, they also lose their worries and troubles. This is also an imperfect life, right?”
The Sakata couple looked puzzled.
I shed two lines of tears in my heart. Who do you look like, kid?
After his son’s mediation, the atmosphere at the dinner table became cheerful.
“By the way, can the manga Your Lie in April become a big hit?”
Hearing his wife’s question, Sakata Tetsuya’s heart sank. He sighed and shook his head, “I don’t know either…”
“It was OK in previous years, but this year…”
“Hang!”
Seeing her husband looking distraught, the wife immediately changed the subject.
As an editor, she also knew a lot about publishing house affairs.
After breakfast, my wife handed me the briefcase.
“I’m going out!”
“Well, be careful on the road, and work hard on your work today~”
Encouraged by his wife’s smile, Tetsuya Sakata pushed the door open and walked out.
It’s sunny today.
Just as he reached the door of the apartment and was waiting for the taxi, he looked back at his cozy little home.
Tetsuya Sakata narrowed his eyes and waved to his wife in the corridor.
My mind recalls ten years ago, when I just got off the Shinkansen and arrived in Tokyo.
It was a sunny day and everything looked so beautiful.
The shock of his first step into the steel forest and the first time he saw the surging crowds in Shibuya.
It is much better than my hometown in Hokkaido, that small town that is so dilapidated that no young people want to stay and live there.
At that time, he vowed to settle down in this most prosperous city and have his own little home.
Toshima Ward, Tokyo.
Outside Kodansha.
Looking at the glass buildings reflecting the colorful light in the morning light.
Tetsuya Sakata took a deep breath and thought to himself that he would add “Your Lie in April” to the shortlist and report it to the editor-in-chief today, so as to avoid working overtime and go home to spend time with his wife and children.
Wearing his company name badge, he walked straight into the office building.
“Good morning, do your best today~”
The receptionist stood at the door, greeting everyone with a smile.
As soon as Tetsuya Sakata walked into the door, his eyes fell on Xiao Tianyou who was smiling and greeting him.
He thought about it and decided to tell him about her friend.
“Ms. Xiaodianyou, can I spare you a minute?”
“Hey, it’s Mr. Sakata, what can I do for you?”
Xiao Dianyou turned slightly sideways and responded with a smile.
“Well, about your friend’s submission…”
“Rejected?”
“Ah, as expected. The competition this year is very fierce. I advised him to submit again next year. It was not surprising that it was rejected.”
Xiao Dianyou guessed the result immediately, it was obvious.
She had heard that there would be a best award this year, and this was the first time since the company was founded.
It is said that as long as you get the best reward, you will not only receive generous bonuses but also various resources.
For example, adaptations into animation, novels, TV series, movies, and peripherals have priority.
Even if Chu Qingfeng’s manuscript is creative, it will be difficult to pass among so many works.
Xiao Dianyou was either feeling amorous or she said a few words to help Chu Qingfeng for the sake of 20,000 yuan.
“Mr. Sakata, I know this year’s selection is different from previous years, but my friend is really hardworking. He has been working hard to get his work published at Kodansha. I would like to ask Mr. Sakata to give him some more suggestions on his work. Please.”
Xiao Dianyou bowed slightly, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
This was the last thing she could do for Chu Qingfeng.
“I’m not rejecting it. I’m planning to sign his work.” Sakata Tetsuya couldn’t help but praise him, thinking of the neat sketch he saw last night. “I can see your friend is really hardworking. The draft he submitted is not only complete, but also of the same quality as the final draft. It’s obvious that he put a lot of effort into it and is a hardworking and patient person.”
“Did I hear correctly?”
“You mean he passed the manuscript? That’s great.”
Xiao Dianyou was happy but also slightly surprised, because she knew very well what kind of person Chu Qingfeng was.
A newcomer who had never submitted a manuscript to Kodansha was actually appreciated by the editor amidst the fierce competition.
If this isn’t genius, what is?
And from what Tetsuya Sakata said, Chu Qingfeng is not only a genius but also a person of great perseverance who can endure loneliness and polish his work to a certain level before submitting it.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel curious about Chu Qingfeng and wanted to find out the truth.
“I didn’t expect that my friend is actually a genius.” Xiao Dianyou couldn’t help but praise.
“Haha, he is indeed a genius.” Sakata Tetsuya nodded in affirmation, “I’ll go back to the office first. By the way, you can tell him that I’m always here for him.”
“I should be leaving soon, bye.”
Xiao Dianyou smiled and nodded, but this time the smile was no longer business-like, but a smile that came from the heart.
At this moment, she seemed to see a rising star, and she herself had contributed to it.
“Maybe I can use this information to get him to treat me to a meal~”
Chu Qingfeng’s handsome face flashed through Xiao Dianyou’s mind, and his face flushed with excitement.
She waited until break time and walked to the staff lounge in high heels.
I found a single sofa that no one was sitting on.
As soon as you sit down, the soft leather surface slowly sinks, outlining a rounded arc.
Taking out Chu Qingfeng’s business card and following the contact number on it, Xiao Dianyou hesitated for a long time before sending a message.
“Are you there?”
“There seems to be news about your drawings.”
“If you consider treating me to a meal, maybe I can tell you some information~”
Soon, Chu Qingfeng replied.
“Okay, but I don’t have much money. Can the izakaya accept it?”
“certainly!”
Xiao Dianyou’s eyes curved. If it were yesterday, she would probably have to think about it.
But now it’s different. The man who is sending messages to me is a newcomer who even the old editor admires. As long as I can catch him, I will have everything in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiaodianyou twisted her buttocks restlessly, as if she was about to pinch someone.
………
Chapter 12: Not even 5,000 yen for me. (Old version)
It was already past noon when Oka Matsumae woke up again.
The moment she opened her eyes, she stared at the ceiling in a daze.
My body also feels a bit sticky and uncomfortable.
The next second, Matsumae Oka threw back the quilt and got out of bed.
There was a mess of clothes on the floor, including underwear with cartoon patterns.
Her cheeks flushed.
I stood on tiptoe, trying not to touch the umbrellas that were thrown on the ground and smelled of rain.
She walked to the table and saw the several bags left for her by Chu Qingfeng.
She picked it up curiously and took out the contents.
As soon as he took out the first piece, his cheeks, which were already flushed, now looked like ripe apples.
“How could he do this…”
She muttered to herself, but when she took out a few more items and opened a box, she suddenly felt warm in her heart.
Chu Qingfeng bought her more than just clothes and coats.
And a cell phone.
Oka Matsumae held her cell phone tightly in her hand.
She half-heartedly agreed to what happened last night under Chu Qingfeng’s promise.
I originally thought he was just a bad guy.
I didn’t expect him to be so genuine to me…
As Matsumae Oka thought about it, tears began to fall from her eyes.
“I’m such an idiot. This was clearly his plan. Who would carry an umbrella with them?”
“But these clothes and cell phones obviously don’t need to be bought for me… Is Feng Jun really sincere to me?”
A simple little girl is just a little girl, and she naturally fell into the trap of the old fox.
Oka Matsumae shook her head, put on her clothes, put the spare clothes Chu Qingfeng bought for her into the bag, and tiptoed to open the door.
When I walked out of the room, there were only a few aunties pushing cleaning carts and cleaning in the clean corridor.
When Oka Matsumae saw someone, she walked into the shower room at the end of the corridor like a thief.
After locking the bathroom door, she took off her clothes, revealing her healthy, fair and smooth skin…
After a while, the sound of water falling to the ground was heard in the bathroom.
“That Feng Jun guy is really bad. He didn’t bring it the first time and swore that nothing would happen.”
“What if Huaiyun…”
Oka Matsumae took the shower head and showered.
In this strange place, Matsumae Oka took a comfortable hot bath for more than half an hour.
When she came out of the bathroom, she had already changed into the clothes Chu Qingfeng bought for her.
Even the underwear she wore underneath was the perfect size.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she didn’t know why Feng Jun’s eyes were so sharp and why he could make such an accurate estimate.
He must have had a lot of affairs.
However, little did he know that Chu Qingfeng could only roughly estimate the size based on the feel of his hands.
The professional female clerk took one look and gave a perfect answer based on Chu Qingfeng’s gestures.
In other words, it was all the clerk’s fault.
Coming out of the bathroom, Oka Matsumae was worried that the public washing machine was dirty.
He stood in front of the sink again, rubbed the fat paper hand that Zhan Jing had moved, and quietly put it into the bag.
Then pick up the hair dryer and blow dry your hair.
Looking at the beauty in the mirror coming out of the bath, her skin is white with rosy cheeks, and her skin is rosy with pink cheeks.
Suddenly thinking of Chu Qingfeng’s surprised expression when he saw his sister last night, Matsumae Ouka felt distressed.
She sighed. Isn’t it better to just do it for free?
Clean and hygienic.
Putting down the hair dryer, Oka Matsumae played with her golden curly hair and then put on her signature petal hairpin.
He picked up the bag containing the fat paper and sneaked back into the room.
After returning to the room, Oka Matsumae first hung the freshly washed underwear on the hook on the wall.
Dry slowly in the morning sun.
Even though it was embarrassing, she couldn’t be without a change of clothes…
If you don’t change it every day, it will be very dirty.
After hanging up the clothes, she sat back down on the bed.
My stomach growled at just the right moment.
“Gurgle~~”
I’m hungry.
When Matsumae Oka heard this voice, she suddenly remembered that Chu Qingfeng had told her that he had left 5,000 yen for her before he left.
Where’s the money???
How come she didn’t see it!
Could it be that I didn’t notice it?
Thinking of this, Matsumae Oka hurried to the table and rummaged through the bag.
What you are turning over is not money but the precious first time.
But besides a brand new cell phone and a phone card, there was only a piece of note paper with Chu Qingfeng’s phone number written on it on the table.
Dial the phone, busy tone…
I called again, but still no answer.
Oka Matsumae’s heart sank, and at this moment she suddenly realized that she might have been deceived.
Oka Matsumae stood up uneasily. She wanted to go out but didn’t know where to go.
Should I go find my mother, stay at her place for a night, and then be mocked mercilessly by her?
Or should I call the police and report that I was scammed?
“Baka, baka, Ouka you are such an idiot!”
The little girl was angry and anxious, and she was angry at the air in the small room.
Just then, the phone rang.
Matsumae Oka hurriedly picked up the phone, and when she heard the familiar voice, she was actually very happy.
She quickly held back her tears, trying to calm her fluctuating emotions.
It was Chu Qingfeng’s voice on the other end of the phone.
“Ouka, is that you?”
“Oh, by the way, I forgot about the money I told you to deposit this morning. Register a LINE account with your phone number and I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“I’ve opened a room for you for one more night. Go find your mother first. Once you find her, I’ll help you bring her back to Xicui Manor.”
“That’s all for now. Goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone, Matsumae Oka breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself that 5,000 yen would be enough for her to spend a few days in peace and return safely to Kicui-so.
As for last night, let’s just treat it as a dream…
Outside the 7-Eleven convenience store.
Chu Qingfeng, who was wearing a convenience store uniform, hung up the phone.
After much persuasion last night, I finally agreed to help her bring her mother back to Xicui Village as a condition to prove our true love.
Only then can you see the wonder of white light.
In fact, there was no need for Chu Qingfeng to take action. He remembered very clearly that in the original plot, Matsumae Satsuki finally asked for leave and took the initiative to return to Kicui Manor with Matsumae Oka.
So it was almost free.
After waiting for about ten minutes, there was a new message on LINE.
Click to take a look.
The friend request was sent from an account with a cute girl’s avatar with short golden hair.
That profile picture was none other than Oka Matsumae’s selfie.
Chu Qingfeng transferred the money immediately after he approved it.
The transfer is received the same second it is sent.
After several minutes, Matsumae Oka sent an aggrieved expression.
Matsumae Ouka: “Feng-kun, why is there only 1,000 yen?”
Chu Qingfeng: “I’m afraid you’ll spend money recklessly, so I’ll give it to you little by little. When you’ve spent it all, come back and ask me for more. I won’t be going to your place tonight.”
Matsumae Ouka: “Feng-kun, you idiot! I knew Feng-kun had bad intentions from the beginning, wuwuwu…”
Chu Qingfeng sat on the chair and just took a look. He actually repaid kindness with enmity. It seemed that he had not been punished enough.
If he didn’t have an appointment tonight, he would have to teach her how to respect others.
Xiao Dianyou said she wanted to tell him about the drawing.
In fact, you don’t have to guess, you know that the manuscript must have been approved.
After all, this comic that has sold 4 million copies is quite powerful.
Especially after being adapted into an anime, coupled with the soul-touching music, it is taken out by countless old 2D fans every April to reminisce.
I just casually invited Xiao Dianyou to go to a cheap izakaya, and she actually agreed.
Obviously there is hope!
Chapter 13 Rejection April Lie (Old Version)
“Feng-kun is so mean, wuwuwu… Men’s mouths are deceitful.”
Oka Matsumae sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the 1,000 yen in her cell phone, muttering to herself.
But after a while she took out the room card and went outside.
Now she had only one thought in her mind, to find her mother as soon as possible and give a fair review of Xicui Manor again.
Kodansha, Monthly Shonen Magazine Editor-in-Chief’s Office.
Editor-in-chief Kameda San’ao was sitting in the office wearing a pair of glasses. Although his hair was not completely bald, there were only a few strands left.
The reason why Kameda San’o, who is almost fifty years old this year, was able to become the editor-in-chief of Monthly Shonen Magazine.
In addition to the writer resources he has, the main reason is that he stayed at Kodansha the longest.
As early as the first day Kodansha opened, Kameda San’ao worked as an editor here.
Now so many years have passed.
Kameda Sano can be said to have finally become successful. He was promoted to the editor-in-chief of Monthly Shonen two years ago.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Tetsuya Sakata knocked on Kameda San’s office door.
“Come in!”
“Excuse me.” Tetsuya Sakata pushed the door open and walked in.
Kameda Sannan, who was sitting in his office chair, looked up at the person who had come and replied with a smile, “Good morning, Sakata.”
“Good morning, Editor-in-Chief.” Sakata Tetsuya walked up to the Editor-in-Chief with a file bag in his hand. With the respect of a subordinate to a superior, he said, “Editor-in-Chief, I came here today to give you this manuscript for your review.”
“Huh? What kind of manuscript is this that you actually delivered it to me personally?” Kameda San’ao was obviously interested. You know, under normal circumstances, unless an editor encounters a rare masterpiece, few editors would directly recommend a manuscript to the editor-in-chief.
“This is it, please take a look.” Tetsuya Sakata handed over the file bag.
Kameda San’ao opened the file bag, took out the drawings inside and began to look at them.
He reads manuscripts very quickly, and the best description of him is that he can read ten lines at a glance.
At first, his expression was relaxed, with an appreciative smile.
Then his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with solemnity and disbelief.
It took him half an hour to finish reading it.
Seeing the editor put down the manuscript, Sakata Tetsuya couldn’t wait to ask, “How is it? This manuscript will be shortlisted for the Manga Awards, right?”
“I have no doubt it will be one of the best films of the year!”
Kameda San’nan’s expression was solemn, his hands folded across his chest, his gaze fixed on the last page of the sketch, the letter from Miyazono Kaoru to Kousei. He seemed to think for a long time before he slowly said, “This work is indeed excellent. Sakata-kun, you have a sharp eye, but…”
Kameda Sano paused for a moment, and Sakata Tetsuya’s heart seemed to pause as well.
“But the competition this year is too fierce. You know, this is the first time since the establishment of the club that there has been a Best Achievement Award, and too many teachers have signed up.”
“Sakata-kun, I have a piece of advice that you should definitely take note of.”
“I’ve been in this industry for 30 years and have seen too many good, unknown works become stepping stones in the battle with the great masters. Many works are not bad, but because the great masters are competing on the stage…”
Hearing what Kameda San’ao said, Tetsuya Sakata’s heart sank.
“Editor-in-Chief, what do you mean?”
Kameda San’nan calmly put the drawing back into his file bag and said with a look of regret, “It’s best to enter the competition again next year. Talk to the author about it. If you don’t sign the contract this year, come back next year.”
“this……”
The boss’s meaning was very clear, but as a subordinate, Tetsuya Sakata had no choice but to do as he was told in this situation.
There’s no way around it. He’s the boss, and he’s in charge of the final list of submitted works.
He knew very well in his heart that the editor-in-chief must be promoting some works this year.
But even if such a good work competes with great works, Tetsuya Sakata believes that it has a great chance of defeating many works. It is no exaggeration to say that it can even fight for the best prize!
“Editor-in-Chief, I still want to give it a try. If this work can break through the fierce competition this year, it will definitely be a dark horse…”
“Stop! Sakata-kun, you’re also one of my old subordinates. I have something I need to tell you clearly.” Kameda San’ao interrupted him forcefully, shaking his head and saying in an almost serious tone, “Minister Jono’s son has been wanting to publish his own popular manga for the past two years.”
After hearing Minister Jono’s words, Tetsuya Sakata fell silent.
This is the head of the youth club, and it is said that the Yukino family is behind it.
His son Naoto Jono submitted a manuscript to him last year, but it was so bad that it was not accepted.
I didn’t expect him to submit his work again this year, and it seems he has been shortlisted for the Manga Award.
“But… I know Naoto’s ability… His ability…”
Tetsuya Sakata frowned and whispered.
“This is not something you and I should worry about, Sakata-kun. If you really care about this work, please contact the author to participate in next year’s. Okay, that’s it, you go and get busy first.” Kameda San’nan didn’t want to waste any more time and directly ordered him to leave.
Tetsuya Sakata wanted to say something but stopped himself in the end.
But he eventually quit the office.
Originally, he wanted to say that if Naoto Jono’s bad work was shortlisted for the Manga Award, or even won the best award, the value of the Manga Award in the market would be greatly reduced.
But if you think about it carefully, the major shareholder would not be so stupid as to forcibly give out the award just to get his son into the comic award.
Maybe he hired a ghostwriter.
Thinking of this, Tetsuya Sakata quickly returned to his workstation, found the proposed shortlist in the internal system, and found Naoto Jono’s works and started reading.
“Sure enough, he hired a ghostwriter!”
As soon as he saw the first page, Tetsuya Sakata felt that the style and structure were extremely sophisticated.
If you look carefully, you can see the shadows of several veteran authors in the storyboard structure.
“Storyboard for episode three…”
His eyes were fixed on a certain action line on the screen, which clearly had Yuji Nishimura’s signature cross composition.
“And this…”
Chapter 14: Finding a Different Path (Old Version)
Tetsuya Sakata looked at Naoto Jono’s manuscript and fell into deep thought.
I was in a daze the whole morning and my mental state was seriously abnormal.
He couldn’t imagine why a rich playboy would insist on making comics and shamelessly ask someone else to write for him and get away with it.
Inadvertently, he picked up “Your Lie in April” and started reading it again, but the more he read it, the more futile Tetsuya Sakata felt.
Miyazono Kaoru spent ten years getting close to one person and spent her life helping Arima Kousei return to the stage full of glory.
In the end, she only left behind a suicide note full of love and longing, which made him feel regretful.
The fact that the comic book “Your Lie in April” failed to be shortlisted for this year’s comic selection made him feel extremely lost and empty.
In vain, everything is in vain in the face of absolute power…
At noon, Tetsuya Sakata sighed, put the manuscript back into the file bag in a daze, and got up and went downstairs.
Walked to the lobby front desk.
As soon as he walked into the hall, Sakata Tetsu saw a brown-haired woman standing in front of Xiao Tianyou, and the two seemed to be talking about something.
He did not go forward to disturb them, but sat in the visitor lounge in the lobby and waited patiently.
A few minutes later, the two people from Xiao Dianyou’s side bowed politely and watched the brown-haired woman leave.
“Ms. Xiaodianyou…”
Tetsuya Sakata walked up.
“Yes,” Xiaodianyou turned around and smiled sweetly, “Sakata-kun, what’s the matter?”
“Regarding your friend’s manuscript being shortlisted, the opinion is rejection.”
“This is his manuscript. Please return it to him on my behalf and tell him not to be disappointed. The story is very good, but…”
Sakata Tetsuya paused and said with a disappointed look, “Anyway, let him vote again next year.”
Xiao Dianyou’s beautiful eyes were obviously stunned for a moment, “Huh?”
“What happened?”
Xiao Dianyou soon discovered that something seemed to be wrong with Tetsuya Sakata. She immediately guessed that something big might happen in this year’s selection, and even Tetsuya Sakata, who was always known for his integrity, had to bow his head.
“It’s okay. Anyway, please tell him to come back next year. I’ll still be waiting for you.”
Tetsu Sakata didn’t say much, and he didn’t say much about the matter of the major shareholder. This matter was not something he or the editor-in-chief could decide.
After handing the file bag to Xiao Tianyou, Tetsuya Sakata turned around and was about to go out for dinner.
Xiao Dianyou hurriedly called him.
“Sakata-kun, could you please come over here?”
She made a gesture of invitation, her eyes full of expectation.
Sakata Tetsuya thought Xiao Tianyou wanted to fight for it again, so he shook his head and said, “Your friend’s work should wait until next year. Signing it this year would be a big loss for his work.”
“No, no, that’s what I want to say. Come here first.”
Xiao Dianyou seemed very anxious.
The two of them arrived at the corner outside Kodansha, and Xiao Dianyou finally expressed his thoughts.
“Well, the new editor in the general department just asked me to keep an eye on the manuscripts for her. You know, new editors don’t have any author resources and their grades aren’t ideal. If they keep giving low scores for a long time, they’ll probably be fired.”
General department, new editor?
Tetsuya Sakata frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.
Kodansha has a total of four editorial departments.
They are: Youth Department, Girls Department, Children Department and General Department.
The General Department is also known as the Youth Department, which produces comics mainly targeting young people or adults.
On the surface, the four departments are clearly divided, with each department responsible for a type of reader.
In fact, they all maintain a wonderful competitive relationship.
Among them, the Youth Department is the strongest among the four departments.
This is because the current market trend is still dominated by young protagonists, which can also be seen from the number of journals and editors in each department.
The Youth Department has a total of 6 journals, namely:
Weekly Shonen Magazine, Bessatsu Shonen Magazine, Monthly Shonen Magazine, Shonen Magazine R, Monthly Shonen Sirius, Shonen Magazine Edge.
Each journal has an editor-in-chief, and each editor-in-chief has five editors under him and many new editors who have just entered the industry.
By this calculation, there are at least forty editors in the Youth Department.
As for the general sector, there are five journals:
Morning, Weekly Young Magazine, Monthly Young Magazine, Monthly AFTERNOON, EVENING.
The sales of EVENING are not ideal and it will be discontinued after the last quarter.
At that time, the editors of EVENING will also be reassigned to other editorial departments.
By this calculation, the General Department will only have four journals by next month.
The editor-in-chief and editors will not exceed thirty people.
“I understand what you mean. What kind of person is she?”
After hearing what Xiao Tianyou said, Tetsuya Sakata understood instantly.
As far as he knew, the head of the General Affairs Department and the head of the Youth Department had always disliked each other.
If the General Affairs Department has the opportunity to sign a talented new writer, they will definitely not care about the affairs of the head of the Youth Affairs Department.
However, in this case, the work “Your Lie in April” will no longer be under his supervision, but will be transferred to the General Affairs Department.
But wouldn’t it be a waste if we didn’t compete for the best award for such a good work?
As an upright editor, he might have swallowed his anger for the sake of his family life.
But a good work will not be abandoned as long as there is a glimmer of hope for change!
Of course he must seize such a good opportunity.
Seeing that Sakata Tetsu was very interested, Xiao Dianyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had her own big plans for helping Chu Qingfeng.
Although she didn’t know how wonderful Chu Qingfeng’s manuscript was.
But just to get Sakata’s evaluation of genius was worth her bet.
As the old saying goes, it’s better to help others as early as possible.
After all, the rewards of helping someone in need are a thousand times greater than adding icing on the cake.
“Well, from what I’ve observed, Ayano-chan has a very good personality. She’s not only gentle but also cheerful. She also likes to drive fast cars.”
“Of course, I am also very responsible at work.”
In fact, Xiaodianyou and Iida Ayano are just familiar colleagues, and they haven’t reached the level of calling her Ayano-chan intimately.
But in order to make Tetsuya Sakata believe her, she simply pretended to have a close relationship with him, which would also help her gain his trust.
Sure enough, I heard Xiaodianyou calling Iida Ayano affectionately.
Tetsuya Sakata said directly: “What if I transfer your friend’s manuscript to her?”
Chapter 15 Edit Iida Ayano (Old Version)
People in the comics of Zongman, starting from getting the landlord: Chapter 15 editor Iida Ayano picture and text
The picture shows Ayano Iida.
“That’s absolutely fine, Ayano-chan will definitely be very happy!”
Xiaodianyou clasped her hands together in front of her chest due to her excitement and said happily, “Then I will contact Ayano-chan and tell her that you transferred it to her.”
“Akidou is so hot!!!”
Tetsuya Sakata hurriedly called a halt.
He almost fell into the abyss.
If Iida Ayano really knew that it was him who forwarded it to her, and if this matter got to the editor-in-chief, he would have no chance of staying in Kodansha.
“Miss Xiaodianyou, please don’t be anxious. Just listen to me.”
Sakata Tetsuya looked around first, making sure no one was paying attention to them, then lowered his voice and said, “To be honest, your friend’s manuscript has great potential. I personally think he has a high chance of winning the award, but for some reason, it’s stuck. Perhaps you’ve already guessed it.”
“But I really don’t want such an excellent work to be left in obscurity, so please help your friend submit the manuscript to the General Affairs Department. But remember not to expose me. You should know what to say, right?”
“Well, don’t worry.”
After saying that, she gave him a reassuring look and walked towards the Kodansha building in her high heels.
On the way, Xiaodianyou’s pure and almost stupid insistence on Sakata Tetsuya made her feel a little ashamed for the first time in a long time.
She had said that on purpose.
Mainly, I want to see what Tetsuya Sakata thinks.
If you don’t refuse.
That means he doesn’t want to let go of Chu Qingfeng’s manuscript.
But now it seems that I was completely wrong.
They are not doing this for performance or personal gain.
Just to prevent the pearl from being covered in dust.
Kodansha Building.
General Affairs Department, EVENING Journal Office.
Iida Ayano was sitting at her workstation, dipping sweets into salt in a small box, while in her right hand she held a cup of tea and sipped it intermittently.
She has been very anxious lately and has had to eat her favorite food to relieve her nervousness.
She ate while looking out the window.
Looking out from the window on the fifteenth floor, the blue sky in the distance is matched with the staggered street scene.
“I didn’t realize it’s already been almost a year since I came to the forum.”
“I’m afraid we won’t see street scenes like this again.”
Iida Ayano bit the salt-dipped donut with her thin lips and murmured softly.
It has been a year since I came to EVENING.
She found it very difficult for a new editor to stick with this industry for a long time.
In the editing industry, it is not only about hard work but also about building up personal connections.
An editor can only meet the performance standards and receive performance commission, which is the so-called performance-based salary, if he has authors submitting manuscripts steadily.
As a new editor who has just been at Kodansha for a year, Ayano Iida has no author resources at all.
Only when contributors browse Kodansha’s official website can they find new editors like her on the editorial page.
Thinking that new editors are not so strict, new authors may submit their works to her.
However, precisely because of their status as new editors, the quality of submissions they receive is often not very good.
Of course, sometimes I get to watch one or two decent works.
But it only allows the company’s performance to fluctuate between the last one and the second place to prevent it from starving to death.
It was fine in the past, after all, I was only criticized by the editor-in-chief within the journal.
But now it’s different.
After the next season’s comics are serialized, EVENING will be on hiatus indefinitely.
Unfinished works will be transferred to other journals in the General Department, and journal editors will be randomly assigned to other editorial departments.
If an editor like Iida Ayano, who is at the bottom of the list, is not taken over by the editorial department, she will be optimized or coordinated to other departments.
Maybe the front desk or the administration…
If she had gone to another department, Iida Ayano would not have come to be an editor.
So once no one is willing to take over, she will only have the option of being optimized away.
Iida Ayano is not afraid of being optimized.
What she fears is that she will be optimized and then go back to find a job in the industry…
With her current performance, I’m afraid no company would be willing to hire her.
In order to stay, Iida Ayano was constantly thinking of ways, so she would go to the front desk from time to time to ask if there were any manuscripts submitted to her or to pick up some manuscripts that others did not like. However, the result was obvious and she gained nothing.
This is like a patient with advanced cancer who slowly loses his life with hope through continuous chemotherapy.
If a good work is submitted to her at this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the submitter is her benefactor.
Imagine a person who is in the late stage of cancer and waiting to die, and suddenly someone gives her a drug that can kill all cancer cells in her body. What will happen to her?
Driven by a strong desire to survive, he will definitely give up everything he has without hesitation.
“Miss Iida, Miss Iida?”
“What are you thinking about?”
Just when Iida Ayano was daydreaming, she suddenly heard someone calling her name, so she came to her senses and looked up.
What came into view was a large thunder.
Then, an extremely beautiful face with a wife-like look was looking at her with a smile.
“Huh?! It’s Miss Xiaodianyou!”
“Is there my manuscript?”
When Iida Ayano saw the person coming, her gloomy face instantly turned into an expectant smile.
“Ah, Miss Iida, you guessed it right. I have a manuscript just for you.”
“It was just sent to the wrong place, and I just took it down.”
She handed over the file bag.
Iida Ayano solemnly took the file bag, tears in her eyes, and said with great emotion, “Thank you very much for taking the trouble to come here. I’ll buy you a coffee later. How about Starbucks?”
“You’re welcome. This is my job. I’m happy to see Miss Iida working hard.”
“By the way, can I take a look?”
Xiao Dianyou stood aside and wanted to see what Chu Qingfeng, who was called a genius by editor Sakata, had drawn.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Iida Ayano’s eyes. She wanted to refuse, but when she thought about having to ask someone for help in the future, she agreed.
“Well! Of course Miss Xiaodianyou can also see it.” Iida Ayano sat down and opened the file bag.
“April Lie?”
“Is this a comic about saving a boy?”
“Wu Shuo! This line, this frame, can’t it be a lie?”
“Could this be a teacher’s submission?”
Xiao Dianyou on the side didn’t say anything, but when she saw such a complete picture.
He was secretly shocked and couldn’t help but feel a little curious about Chu Qingfeng, who claimed to be a freelance cartoonist at the gate yesterday.
With such a level, how could he be a newcomer?!
She also reads comics normally, and in her opinion, the picture in front of her is no exaggeration to say that it is an original manuscript waiting to be copied and put on the shelf.
Iida Ayano just exclaimed in amazement and quickly began to review the manuscript.
Just like when she had read Chu Qingfeng’s manuscript before, Iida Ayano obviously did not look down on it at all. Instead, she read it very seriously.
Xiao Dianyou on the side also immersed herself in it with anticipation.
Half an hour later.
An hour later.
Two hours later.
I didn’t turn to the last page until Xiaodianyou was about to go to work.
The confession letter from Miyazono Kaoru as an easter egg.
Finished reading.
Both of them had red eyes, and their chests seemed to be blocked, making it difficult to breathe.
“Wuwuwu…”
“Xiaoxun is so silly. If it were me, I would definitely confess my feelings to her face, even if I was rejected, I would not have any regrets.”
“Xiaoxun, Xiaoxun, please don’t die.”
Finally, with a choked sob, Iida Ayano kept wiping away her tears.
Xiaodianyou also felt uncomfortable, but she was not as emotional as Iida Ayano.
Apart from the redness in her eyes, she did not show any other embarrassing behavior. Instead, she comforted Iida Ayano.
It was not until Xiao Dianyou was about to be late and left in a hurry that he coaxed her into silence.
“This work is so good! I’m sure it will be a huge hit. I’m going to report it to the editor immediately and recommend it for the Manga Awards!”
After recovering, Iida Ayano’s first thing was to report April’s Lie.
Maybe this time we can rely on this work to save EVENING which is about to go on hiatus!
Chapter 16 Satsuki Matsumae (old version)
People in the comics of Zongman, starting from getting the landlord: Chapter 16 Matsumae Satsuki picture and text
Xiao Dianyou was still a little dazed when she went downstairs and returned to the front desk.
Chu Qingfeng’s work surprised her. She didn’t expect that this was a work drawn by a newcomer with a blank slate.
And he finished the work in one go.
Many people cannot do this because the sunk costs are too high.
A comic strip, except for short stories, almost always only has the beginning of three chapters drawn for the editor to review.
I will continue painting only after the draft is approved.
But Xiao Dianyou saw something today that almost never happens to many cartoonists.
Chu Qingfeng finished the entire work before submitting it for review, even though it hadn’t been reviewed yet and it wasn’t known whether it would be approved.
This persistence in generating electricity for love is simply incredible.
“What kind of person is Mr. Chu? It really makes people curious.”
Xiao Dianyou murmured softly and was also very glad that she had made the right bet.
The time came to two o’clock in the afternoon.
Chu Qingfeng was on his way to the agreed izakaya.
Ding Dong~~~
My cell phone rang, and when I opened it, it was a message from Matsumae Oka.
[Feng Jun, I found my mother. She is now downstairs at her company. Remember our agreement.]Then a picture appeared in the chat interface.
The picture shows a selfie of Oka Matsumae.
She was holding a small banner with the words “The writer maliciously gave a bad review of Xicui Zhuang, we will protest to the end!” written on it.
【Wait for me, I will help you. 】
After Chu Qingfeng sent the message, he confirmed the address with Matsumae Ouka and rushed there.
Of course, he just wanted to gain favorability.
After all, the higher the favorability, the more actions you can unlock.
Besides, it’s still early, only two o’clock in the afternoon, and there are still four hours before Xiaodianyou gets off work.
Besides, Oka Matsumae is one of his own, so if he doesn’t help her, who else will he help?
I turned on the navigation and headed towards Matsumae Oka.
The two were not very close to each other, and Chu Qingfeng jogged under the scorching sun, and arrived in front of Matsumae Ouka in about an hour.
As soon as I stopped, a ding sound came from the system in my mind.
[Physical proficiency +1]【＋1】
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the skilled level of physical strength! ]Then, out of nowhere, a seemingly endless amount of power suddenly appeared in his body.
Chu Qingfeng had a hunch that he would have no problem running for another hour now.
When Matsumae Ouka saw Chu Qingfeng sweating profusely, her heart warmed.
This man really kept his promise and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from the other person’s forehead.
Whispered:
“Feng Jun?”
“Feng Jun!”
Chu Qingfeng, who was immersed in the system prompt sound, was awakened by the noise. “Ah? What?”
“Thank you for coming to accompany me.” The little girl blushed and said embarrassedly
“It’s okay. You’re mine. You don’t have any friends in Tokyo to help you. If I don’t help you, who will?”
Chu Qingfeng placed his hand on the little girl’s head, which was only as tall as his chest, and rubbed it.
Matsumae Oka’s face turned even redder, and she snorted softly, “Who is yours~” and her favorable impression of him increased a little.
“By the way, which office is your mother in? Let’s go up and find her!”
“She must know that there is a price to pay for writing nonsense.”
Chu Qingfeng’s eyes were determined as if he wanted to join the party, and he looked righteous.
Matsumae Oka was stunned by the look.
“I, I don’t know either. I just heard from the publishing house that she works at the xx Editorial Office in this building. I don’t know exactly which floor she works on.”
“Put up the banner first, I’ll take you in.” After knowing the key information, Chu Qingfeng directly pulled her towards the building.
Matsumae Oka’s little hands were soft. Although he was already familiar with them last night, Chu Qingfeng still couldn’t help playing with them.
“Can you please help me find the xx editing agency first?”
“Of course, as long as you know the company name, you can find out by asking the front desk. There are many companies in this building, and the property management of the office building is not strict. Wait, don’t say anything and follow me.”
Chu Qingfeng turned around and gave instructions, his expression and tone showing a sense of security.
“Hmm~” Ouka blushed and lowered her head as she was pulled towards the building.
Arriving at the front desk, Chu Qingfeng made up an excuse and lied that he was a client of xx Editorial Agency and couldn’t find the floor.
The front desk clerk didn’t ask too many questions. There were so many people visiting the building every day that they didn’t want to waste their time talking to him.
At the xx Editorial Office on the 18th floor of the xx Building, Chu Qingfeng, standing at the door, pulled Matsumae Ouka in.
As soon as they entered the door of the Bianbian Editing Company, they told the front desk that they were looking for fans of Matsumae Satsuki.
The two waited in the reception room for a while, and soon the door was opened.
I saw a man and a woman walk in one after another.
Chu Qingfeng didn’t know the man.
The woman was none other than Matsumae Satsuki, the mother of Matsumae Oka.
Should I say it or not?
Matsumae Satsuki looks very much like her daughter, like a grown-up Matsumae Oka.
She wore a beige suit jacket with a red V-neck T-shirt underneath, and her fair, fat-free calves were exposed under her cropped pants. She wore a pair of matching low-heeled shoes, and her whole figure looked very slim. Her bright red lip makeup made Chu Qingfeng instantly feel a little moved. She had a completely different aura from Matsushita Oka.
If only I could have a bowl of rice…
It smells so good.
Matsumae Satsuki was originally wondering who was looking for her.
The moment he saw it was his daughter, he immediately smiled and went forward to hug her.
“It’s Ouka-chan~~”
“Mom misses you so much, are you okay?”
“Hehe, this warmth has been so long since I last felt it.”
Matsumae Satsuki felt the long-lost warmth coming from the little body.
I thought of my daughter who was as small as a kidney bean back then. If it weren’t for Matsumae Ouka’s struggle, they would probably have been gentle for a while longer.
Reluctantly letting go, Matsumae Satsuki squatted in front of her daughter and rubbed her hands back and forth on her collagen-filled face.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you listless?” After noticing her daughter’s excitement, Matsumae Satsuki noticed the handsome young man sitting beside her and asked warily, “Who is he?”
Oka Matsumae sighed deeply, and pulled away the slender hands that were rubbing her face, revealing her cheeks that were red from being kneaded.
“Feng-kun is my friend.” Matsumae Ouka didn’t introduce herself in detail, but answered angrily why she had no spirit at all, “If someone can be a hundred times more spirited after being betrayed by relatives, I’d like to see it!” She looked at the criminal who deliberately gave her own hotel a low score with disgust in her eyes, and looked unhappy.
Matsumae Satsuki seemed to realize something.
She turned her head and motioned the man behind her to close the door, continuing to pretend she didn’t know. “You’re still the same, always saying things that people can’t understand.”
“By the way, can you introduce your friend to me? What’s his name, where does he live, and what does he do?”
Matsumae Satsuki changed the subject. She didn’t want her daughter to talk too much about the sadness of adults.
“Auntie, hello, my name is Chu Qingfeng, I’m a friend of Ouka’s, I live in Nerima, and I’m currently a freelance cartoonist.”
“Cartoonist?!” The mother and daughter wondered in unison.
“Eh? Ouka-chan, don’t you know what your friend does?” Matsumae Satsuki looked at her daughter in confusion, a trace of vigilance rising in her heart.
Matsumae Ouka seemed to realize her own gaffe and quickly tried to make amends, “No, no, I was just surprised that Feng-kun actually dared to say that.”
It was also Chu Qingfeng’s fault that he didn’t introduce himself to Matsumae Ouka properly before, and was only thinking about doing other things.
“Yes, I’ve always wanted to be a freelance cartoonist. I even submitted a manuscript to Kodansha yesterday.”
Hearing this, Matsumae Satsuki became even more interested and continued to ask, “Oh? Then can you pass the manuscript? I heard that the competition is very fierce this year.”
“certainly.”
Are you kidding? What Chu Qingfeng is holding is a high-rated comic that can sell four million copies on Earth.
Even though the plot is not top-notch, it is at least a top-notch work.
It’s easy to win the comic award, and you can even have a chance at the best award.
“Haha, you’re way too arrogant, aren’t you? Kodansha is a top publishing house on par with Shueisha and Shogakukan. You look like a complete newbie, right?”
The man who had been standing at the door without saying a word.
Seeing that the colleague I had always had a crush on was so interested in a young boy whom I had just met for less than two minutes, I felt extremely jealous.
As expected, deformed love makes people jealous.
Of course, Chu Qingfeng didn’t know what was going on in that man’s mind.
Chu Qingfeng always confronts these idiots who try to pick a fight directly.
“What’s it to you whether I’m arrogant or not?”
“Where did the bald monster come from?”
Hearing the bald monster, Matsumae Satsuki covered her mouth and laughed. She had long been disgusted with this annoying team member.
He is like a follower. Whenever I am in the company, I can run into him in any corner.
Just like when I came to the reception room just now, this person followed me in.
It’s like a piece of sticky candy that you can’t get rid of.
But since the other party is my colleague, I can’t say anything. After all, we see each other every day.
Chapter 17 What Should I Call Me? (Old Version)
“What did you say about me?!”
“I said you are a bald monster, and a stupid old bald monster at that.”
“How can it bother you that they’re chatting here? Who are you talking about? Come over here and start talking.”
Chu Qingfeng opened fire and scolded the idiot, showing no mercy at all.
Anyway, I don’t know him.
Besides, it was this idiot who started the trouble, so Chu Qingfeng naturally wouldn’t be looked down upon for no reason.
“You! I think you, a young brat, are here to cause trouble today!” The man was shaking all over. He was furious and jumped up and down. “Bullshit! You are the bald monster! You are the idiot!”
“Pen your mother’s pen! If I’m an idiot, you’re a bigger idiot, a piece of trash who doesn’t know what’s good for him!”
“Enough! Stop arguing.” Matsumae Satsuki stood in front of the two of them, with a hint of anger on her face, but she was already very happy in her heart.
Chu Qingfeng felt so good when he cursed her, he just cursed out everything she wanted to curse.
No, we should also add a sentence: Don’t be a lapdog!
Chu Qingfeng didn’t buy it and immediately yelled back: “It’s not enough! I’m promoting the righteousness of the times and punishing evil. It’s never enough and I’m always on the road!” After yelling, he stared at the man at the door with a righteous look on his face.
This scene stunned the three people present.
Especially Matsumae Oka felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.
The temperament of Chu Qingfeng, who was determined to fight against anyone, completely attracted this young girl who was not very worldly-wise.
Come on, this is what a man should be like, okay?
When faced with slander and defamation, he dares to confront them on the spot without any hesitation.
Matsumae Satsuki was also stunned by this scene.
After a long while, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Naturally, I asked the colleague at the door, whose face had almost turned the color of pig liver, to leave first. “Yamada-san, please leave first.”
The moment the door opened, many colleagues stood outside and looked inside, which made Matsumae Satsuki feel a little embarrassed. She quickly took the two of them out of the company and sat down in a nearby cafe.
As soon as he sat down, Songqian Gaoyue shook Chu Qingfeng’s hand and thanked him repeatedly.
“Thank you so much, Chu Jun. I’ve wanted to scold Yamada for a long time. Every day on my way to work, I always run into him by chance.”
“I know he’s interested in me, but I really don’t like him. I’ve mentioned it to him a few times in a roundabout way, but he’s only become more persistent.”
“Well~ maybe if I find a boyfriend like Chu Jun, guys like that won’t come near me anymore.”
Matsumae Satsuki’s eyes were charming, and she had a good impression of Chu Qingfeng from the first moment she saw this handsome young man.
After all, everyone likes good-looking people.
But Oka Matsumae, who was supposed to be at home, was like a light bulb at the moment.
When Okasang grabbed Chu Qingfeng’s hand and showed that expression, a hint of sourness suddenly emerged and interrupted:
“Oka-san, I came to talk to you about serious matters today!”
“Oh? What? Oka-chan, aren’t you here to see your mother?” Matsumae Satsuki tilted her head to look at her daughter and asked in confusion.
Matsumae Oka did not respond, but went straight to the point.
“Why?”
“Why can you speak ill of your own family?”
“You haven’t been to Xicui Manor, so why would you give it a low score?”
Matsumae Oka had a serious expression on her face, staring straight at the woman in front of her who had left her at her grandmother’s house to pursue freedom alone, wanting to see through her heart.
Upon hearing this, Matsumae Satsuki was stunned for a moment.
Then he let go of Chu Qingfeng’s hand and leaned back on the seat.
He took out a pack of women’s cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, saying nonchalantly:
“That kind of ranking involves adults’ reasons. Some people wanted to give Xicui Manor a low score. I just followed their instructions and compiled it into an article.”
As she spoke, she took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and smoked half of it.
Chu Qingfeng was stunned by this scene. He didn’t expect that this woman had such strong skills.
Half a cigarette in one puff.
What if this was replaced with corn?
Seeing Chu Qingfeng looking at him smoking, Songqian Gaoyue exhaled heavily and asked with a smile:
“Chu Jun, you don’t mind me smoking, right?”
“Please do as you wish.” Chu Qingfeng shook his head. He came here today to see Matsumae Satsuki and to find a way to fulfill his promise to Matsumae Ouka.
It should have been completed tomorrow, but plans cannot keep up with changes.
Xiaodianyou asked me out for dinner, so I couldn’t go to Matsumae Oka’s place that night.
As for the room being open, maybe it won’t be wasted…
Oka Matsumae slammed the table angrily, and the coffee on the table made a clinking sound.
You can imagine how loud this was.
“You clearly don’t understand the current state of Xicui Manor at all, yet you wrote that kind of report just for the money?”
Matsumae Satsuki was startled and quickly comforted her softly: “Ouka-chan, calm down. Look, the coffee has spilled. Wipe it up quickly.”
“Don’t fool me, you always change the subject like this!”
“He never considered my feelings, never consulted me on anything, and always made his own decisions. This includes this article, his pursuit of freedom, moving to a new house in elementary school, and even my fifth-grade Christmas present. I’d asked for stickers a month before, but I got a teddy bear instead.”
“It’s amazing that you still remember these old stories so clearly.”
“Didn’t you complain about the sticker incident?”
“I held it in.” Matsumae Oka thought of everything that had happened over the years, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes. She choked up and said, “I’ve endured it so many times. Even when Mom went out to play at night, even when the house was dark and I was scared to be alone, I endured it. Even when you broke your promises time and time again during the teaching observation, the zoo, and the swimming pool, I endured it… I endured it all.”
A trace of guilt flashed across Matsumae Satsuki’s eyes, but she hid it behind the action of smoking. She jokingly said, “Ah, has the topic turned to your personal grudge, Ouka-chan?”
“You always say it’s for work, you say it’s because of work that I endure it, but…”
“For your work that hurts others, I have…endured it until now.”
Hearing this, Matsumae Satsuki, as a mother, smiled helplessly, hiding her sadness. “Yes, this is the kind of work I have been doing. I raised you by doing this kind of work. Do you think that only decent work that you can be proud of can be considered work? In your eyes, or in your grandmother’s eyes, my work may be shameless. Even so, I am working hard at it, so…”
Oka Matsumae also felt very uncomfortable. She knew that her mother had been doing this kind of smear work all these years to support her.
But doesn’t that mean grandma is no longer a family member?
Xicui Village is also her home!
“But can you please write it again? It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t appear in the magazine, as long as you can understand that Happiness Manor is a great hotel.”
“Would you please just go to Xicui Manor once and write down everything you see and encounter?”
“Damn… Impossible, I’m busy.” Matsumae Satsuki refused without thinking. For her, she didn’t want her mother to know that the writer who gave a malicious bad review to Kicui-so was her daughter.
“you……”
Matsumae Oka was so angry at these words that she was speechless. She glared at him fiercely and ran out.
He actually forgot that he had a helper named Chu Qingfeng beside him.
“Ouka! Where are you going!” Matsumae Satsuki stood up anxiously, took a look, then sat down helplessly and put out her cigarette, muttering, “What a rebellious child.”
“Mr. Chu, what do you think?” She looked at Chu Qingfeng who had been watching the show for a long time and asked with interest.
Seeing that the other party was asking about him, he didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire to increase Matsumae Satsuki’s guilt as a mother.
Anyway, in the end, she would ask for leave from her boss and go back to Kicui Village together, so it would be better to finish it early. He could be considered to have fulfilled his promise to Matsumae Oka.
The first time he didn’t take it for free.
“Mom is such a fool! Damn, damn, damn old woman, for the sake of money, have you given up your home? That was my grandmother’s life’s hard work…”
Matsumae Ouka ran back to the small hotel and sat on the edge of the bed, her hands on her chin. She knew what her mother was thinking, “If only I could make a lot of money, then Mom wouldn’t have to write hurtful articles anymore.”
Holding the mobile phone Chu Qingfeng gave him, he suddenly remembered something.
“Where’s Feng Jun?!”
I was so angry just now that I even forgot to use Chu Qingfeng who said he would help me bring my mother back.
When she thought of the scene where her mother was holding Chu Qingfeng’s hand just now, Matsumae Ouka felt a pang in her heart.
He quickly dialed Chu Qingfeng’s number.
“Feng, Feng-kun, where are you?”
Chu Qingfeng, who had just come out of the coffee shop, received a call and smiled helplessly, “I’m still in the coffee shop. Take your things and go to the station. Everything is settled.”
“That old woman…”
“No, Mom, did she agree?”
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Matsumae Ouka quickly changed her words. She never expected that Chu Qingfeng would really do what he said.
“Yes, go to the station quickly, the tickets are already bought.”
Chu Qingfeng recounted the story of how he used his eloquence, sharp tongue and wit to persuade Matsumae Satsuki. Of course, there was some exaggeration in his words, and the girl was stunned by what he said.
“Feng Jun, you are so amazing!”
“Huh? Still calling me Feng Jun? What should I call you?!”
Holding the phone, Matsumae Ouka heard this question and instantly blushed like an apple. She pursed her lips and whispered, “Darling~”
“That’s good. Let’s go to the station.”
“Well! When you have time, come to Xicui Manor and play!”
The two talked for a few more words, and finally, under Chu Qingfeng’s teasing, Matsumae Ouka hung up the phone.
Xicui Manor? Of course I’d go!
There are also Tsuruki Tamiko, Oshimizu Nako, Wakura Yuina, Wajima Tomoe, and Kawajiri Takako waiting for him.
It’s not impossible for the boss lady to give him 400,000 Cui.
Chapter 18: Coward! (Old Version)
A triple portion of rice bowl is a real delicacy.
But it’s not the right time yet, and we are still some distance away from that step.
However, Chu Qingfeng knew that with the help of the system and the plagiarist, that day would not be far away.
Just when Chu Feng had walked not far away.
A figure blocked the road, and Chu Qingfeng jokingly said:
“Hey, what’s up?”
Chu Qingfeng learned from Matsumae Satsuki that the man in front of him, named Yamada Fu, was a persistent bootlicker, which he didn’t understand.
Everyone knows that in a woman’s heart, a bootlicker has to rank behind a dog.
Especially men like Yamada Osamu who are persistent in licking one person are the ones women look down upon the most.
Women are meant to be conquered, not licked. Licking them will lead to success.
Chu Qingfeng has long been the king of licking.
Yamada Fu glanced at Chu Qingfeng fiercely. Instead of answering, he asked in a tough tone:
“What did you say to Ms. Matsumae?!”
“Where is she going? If you want to hurt her, you have to step over my dead body first!”
In fact, Yamada Fu had followed Chu Qingfeng and the others down a long time ago, and had been guarding Matsumae Satsuki from a position where he could see them.
From the two shaking hands to the young girl leaving.
Then only Miss Matsumae and the man in front of her were left chatting and laughing in the cafe.
Finally, Miss Matsumae hurried back to the company in tears.
He could see it clearly from a distance!
Chu Qingfeng looked at Yamadafu, who was very excited, curled his lips and laughed.
“Hey, you have a crush on her?”
Chu Qingfeng asked the question out of the blue, leaving Mr. Yamada at a loss.
Seeing this, Chu Qingfeng laughed inwardly and called him a coward.
He didn’t even dare to say that no one was here. He was such a coward that he didn’t know what to say.
Just one word for him.
If you like her, go for her!
Find an opportunity to get the person drunk, or if that doesn’t work, buy some GHB and just knock him down!
He is so timid that he doesn’t even dare to go to jail, yet he dares to say that he will step over his dead body?
Teemo can only do the cow splits facing the wind – that’s bullshit!
Chu Qingfeng looked down upon this kind of people the most, and there was contempt in his wicked smile.
This made Yamada Fu completely confused.
“What are you talking about? Get out!”
“Teemo, get out of here! A good dog doesn’t block the road!”
“You… Bah, you foreign lowlife surnamed Chu, you are trash, you are a parasite, you don’t deserve to be on our land!”
Yamada sneered with contempt, “Get out of our country!”
Chu Qingfeng suddenly jumped up and slapped Yamada Fu in the face.
Bang!
Yamada’s eyes were filled with astonishment for a moment, and then a five-finger mark appeared on his right cheek. The burning pain was unbelievable. Then he reacted and immediately roared angrily: “Baga! Chu, I will kill you!”
Chu Qingfeng said calmly, “Come on, a duel! Now and immediately!”
Yamadafu roared, “You, you think I don’t dare?!”
Chu Qingfeng grinned and said nonchalantly, “Let’s go buy a knife right now. I’ll let you go. You stab me first, and then I’ll stab you. It’s a round-by-round game. Let’s see who dies first. Come on?!”
Chu Qingfeng had already thought about it, if this coward really came.
Let the other party come first.
Whenever the other party draws his sword, he dodges.
Wait until you draw your sword, seize the opportunity and strike with one blow to kill him.
This is also considered self-defense according to the law.
Yamada was completely enraged. “Come on, am I afraid of you?”
“I’ll die if I want to, who’s afraid of who?”
As he said this, he was about to go to the nearest supermarket to buy a knife.
But unexpectedly, a voice rang out from the crowd, “Stop making noise!”
Matsumae Satsuki pushed through the crowd and stood aside, looking at them angrily.
Hear the voice of your goddess.
Yamada Fu finally calmed down a little, panting heavily, gritting his teeth and saying to Chu Qingfeng:
“Baga, it’s this idiot who only knows how to resort to violence who has angered me. This lunatic should be deported from the country!”
Chu Qingfeng sneered, “Go to hell, you little bastard, where’s your Bushido spirit?”
“What I despise most is trash like you. You try to find a way out of it when someone calls you out. You’re such a coward.”
“If you don’t want to cause trouble, keep your mouth shut! If you’re both in charge and in charge, who will get beaten if not you?”
“Fat old pig on the butcher’s block—for the butcher’s knife!”
Chu Qingfeng cursed this idiot as much as he could. Who made this bastard curse at Dongda?
It’s Teemo’s fault.
As he continued to curse, he even started to use a series of idioms, which could not be described as a string of witty remarks.
After Chu Qingfeng launched such a series of attacks, the system prompt sounded in his mind.
【Speaking proficiency +1.】
As the words kept coming out, the reminder of proficiency increasing by one also came to mind.
Chu Qingfeng only felt that he had become much smoother when scolding others.
This action completely stunned the little bastards who were watching the show around.
“What did he say before? How come he can curse people directly after that?”
“It rhymes, it rhymes so much!”
“I heard that person is a foreigner? He looks like he’s from the University of Tokyo. Only someone from the University of Tokyo could be so appealing to both the elite and the masses.”
“Hurry up and write this down. I’m going to use these to curse people in the future. They’re amazing!”
Seeing Mr. Yamada being scolded, no one in the crowd made a fuss.
They know very well that they are just spectators.
If a bunch of random people start to stir up trouble, it would be considered incitement to murder.
Regardless of whether Chu Qingfeng and Yamada Fu are safe or not, the instigator will never be able to escape.
After hearing this, Mr. Yamada’s blood pressure suddenly shot up.
His face flushed, his eyes bloodshot, and his heart pounding.
His hands couldn’t stop shaking.
But even so, he just clenched his fists. To be honest, he still couldn’t let go of life and death…
After waiting for a long time without any response from the other party, Chu Qingfeng couldn’t help but chuckle:
“Oh, people like you want everything but are unwilling to pay any price. You are proactive in your thinking but you can’t see any action. You are just a piece of trash!”
ps: Dear readers, please give me some free gifts.
Chapter 19 A Date with Xiao Dianyou (Old Version)
When Mr. Yamada heard this, the veins on his forehead were about to pop out, and his eyes were frighteningly red.
But he never moved, just staring at Chu Qingfeng in front of him, having already killed him a thousand times in his mind.
Songqian Gaoyue, who was watching from the side, was terrified. She was afraid that Chu Qingfeng would really anger Yamada Fu, so she quickly advised:
“Chu Jun, don’t say it. Even if I owe you a favor, please don’t say it, okay?”
Chu Qingfeng smiled and nodded, “Okay, let’s not talk about him anymore. Aunt, please go to the station first. Xuhua is still waiting for you.”
Hearing her daughter’s name, Songqian Gaoyue thought of what Chu Qingfeng had just said, and her heart ached.
“No, you have to come with me. I’m worried if you stay here.”
Matsumae Satsuki always sided with Chu Qingfeng. This scene was so dazzling and helpless in Yamada Fu’s eyes.
But what does it matter…
Is he really going to hit someone?
So does he still want his job?
If others are crazy, should I go crazy too?
One knife per person, is it really worth it?
When the adrenaline subsides, your smart IQ takes over again.
Is it really worth dying for a word?
Obviously, Mr. Yamada hesitated for a long time. There were too many wonderful things in this world waiting for him to discover, and too many beautiful girls waiting for him to kiss.
Why bother with a madman?
After thinking this through, Yamada snorted coldly and swallowed his anger.
Seeing that Yamada Fu was no longer forcing Lai Lai, Chu Qingfeng stopped attacking, and Matsumae Satsuki took Chu Qingfeng and walked to the side of the road.
Seeing this, Mr. Yamada felt jealous but still didn’t dare to go up.
He really couldn’t scold…
“Ms. Matsumae… When will you be back?”
Mr. Yamada stood there, not daring to step forward but anxiously asking loudly.
This scene left the onlookers baffled.
“ah???”
“This guy is really shameless. He is really a bootlicker just like that young man said.”
“No, that’s not right. It’s not a dog licker… It’s simply a dog.”
The crowd’s discussion was very quiet and the surrounding noise was very loud, so Yamada didn’t hear it.
He just stood in the distance, looking expectant, hoping that the goddess he secretly loved would care about him again.
For example, just now, if the goddess hadn’t stepped out to interrupt him, he would have been scolded to death.
It seems that the goddess must be interested in him!
Matsumae Satsuki turned her head and glanced at Yamada Fu who was standing not far away, feeling extremely helpless. She originally didn’t want to hurt her colleague and had kindly expressed that she was not interested in him.
But now it seems that the other party didn’t understand at all.
I can only say it clearly.
“Chu Jun, wait for me.”
After saying that, Matsumae Satsuki walked quickly to Yamada Ou with a very serious expression.
Seeing Matsumae Satsuki walking towards him, Yamada couldn’t help but feel happy. She still can’t let me go, right?
She still cares about me, right?
“Mr. Yamada, please don’t bother me anymore. I’ve said from the beginning that I’m not interested in you. Now I solemnly and officially tell you that I don’t like you. Goodbye!”
After saying that, Songqian Gaoyue walked to the side of the road, took Chu Qingfeng’s hand, stopped a taxi and left directly.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Yamada was stunned.
“goodbye……”
“I knew Ms. Matsumae cared about me and even said goodbye to me before leaving.”
Yamada muttered to himself.
If Chu Qingfeng heard this, he would probably say to him: “Go back to Gotham, Batman said he won’t beat you anymore.”
The back seat of a taxi.
“Chu Jun, please don’t do such dangerous things again. If I hadn’t stopped Yamada Fu, you would have reached for the knife…”
“Don’t ever do something like this again, understand?”
Matsumae Satsuki looked serious, like an older sister who cared about her juniors.
Chu Feng looked at the street lights rapidly receding outside the car window, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Is that coward braver than him?
If I really buy it, will he kill me with his big belly?
But he didn’t want to listen to the nagging anymore, so Chu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Matsumae Satsuki finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, took out a cigarette, and exhaled a long puff of smoke before slowly saying:
“Chu Jun, thank you.”
“Ouka has been very stubborn since she was young.”
Chu Qingfeng shook his head. This really wasn’t a thank you to him. He just roughly told the story of what happened to Matsumae Oka when she went to Xicui Manor in the original plot, and made clear the feelings that Oka had for her family that were difficult to express.
This can at most be considered as breaking the ice between mother and daughter, which is really nothing.
“Oh, sir, please stop by the roadside. I’m getting off here.”
After getting off the car, the two said goodbye.
Looking at the time, Chu Feng saw that the date was less than half an hour away, so he had to reluctantly stop a taxi and rush to the izakaya.
Deep in the alleys of a food court in Toshima Ward.
A chain of izakayas called Yakitori Bar.
This izakaya is known as the absolute representative of the yakitori world in Toshima District. Not only are the prices here affordable, but the ingredients are also very fresh.
It is a must-eat delicacy for nearby office workers after get off work.
The sizzling sound of grease dripping from the grill in the bar operation room and the aroma filled the air under the orange light.
At the double table in the corner.
A shoulder-length blonde woman in a slim black OL suit sat on the tatami in a standard kneeling position.
The 30D high heels perfectly outline the elegant lines of her legs.
The skirt is slightly tightened due to the kneeling posture, just like a ripe peach lightly wrapped in silk, making the hip curve appear fuller and rounder.
At this moment, she was looking down at the menu.
A few strands of unruly hair fell beside her cheeks.
With her slender fingers painted with low-key nude nail polish, she gently tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing the delicate outline of her face.
Her slightly furrowed brows and pursed lips reveal a hint of concentration, and her whole body exudes the charm of intelligence and gentleness that is unique to mature women.
The menu in her hand was carefully held by her slender fingertips, and it trembled slightly as she read the content.
“Ms. Xiaodianyou, how is it? Is there anything you like to eat?”
“I’m a regular customer of this restaurant. The crispy bones and green pepper chicken skewers are my favorites.”
“Haha, as long as you like it.”
Chu Qingfeng looked at the woman in front of him who had a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye and was full of mature charm.
Especially when I saw a pair of small and round prison guards wrapped in Hi-Silicon, I couldn’t help but feel excited.
In his words, his legs are good for playing for years.
“So, what is the good news that Ms. Xiaodian wants to announce?”
Chu Qingfeng listened to Xiao Dianyou ordering dishes while writing quickly on the paper.
The turnover here is very fast and there are not many staff in the store.
Therefore, regular customers who come here to eat have long formed a tacit understanding with the restaurant that they find their own seats and order their own food.
Xiao Dianyou held the menu upright to cover half of her face, revealing only a pair of cunning eyes: “Mr. Chu, don’t be anxious. I’ll tell you later. You’ve already waited for several hours, so this little bit of time won’t make any difference.”
Xiao Dianyou joked and deliberately didn’t say anything. She really liked to see others scratching their ears and cheeks. It felt like a naughty female devil was deliberately making a prank.
But when her beautiful eyes quietly moved from the upright menu to the handsome young man sitting opposite her, she couldn’t help but be shocked.
…….
Chapter 20: Tipsy Office Lady (Old Version)
The expected scene of scratching one’s head did not appear.
No, why is it different from what I thought?
What about the scratching expression?
How come that tried-and-true prank doesn’t seem to have any reaction on the face of this young man who is not much younger than him?
He didn’t even pause to write on the pencil in his hand.
This completely disrupts the usual script of keeping people in suspense – watching anxious reactions – and enjoying the revelation.
Xiao Dianyou was scratching her head at this moment, feeling anxious that her habit was not being satisfied.
The prepared lines were stuck in her throat, making her the most restless one.
Chu Qingfeng was unaware of Xiao Dianyou’s reaction and was writing furiously at the moment – placing an order.
If he knew…
You will definitely be waiting for the next paragraph:
Makes you scratch your head, makes you scratch your head…
Teach this mature woman who has a little female ghost in her heart a lesson.
After writing the dishes Xiao Dianyou ordered, Chu Qingfeng looked up and their eyes met.
Xiao Dianyou hurriedly shifted her gaze back to the menu, covering it with the upright menu, and pretended to continue ordering.
She didn’t want to see her little thoughts discovered.
“That’s enough, right? Oh, and how about two more bottles of iced Asahi?”
“OK.”
Chu Qingfeng wrote on the list, Asahi Beer x 2
Well, it can be drunk cold…it’s a sure thing!
Then he wrote down the table number and handed it to the waiter.
While waiting, the two chatted casually.
Xiao Dianyou has been inquiring about Chu Qingfeng’s situation.
After a while, Chu Qingfeng’s situation was understood.
A serious, hardworking young man with a difficult family background (his father died young, his mother is ill, his sister is in school, and he is a hardworking man), who came to Tokyo from a foreign country to work hard on his own.
Similarly, Chu Qingfeng also had a general idea of Xiao Dianyou’s situation.
From Tokyo.
But he doesn’t live with his parents but lives alone.
26 years old and single!
“Chu Jun is really a hardworking man.”
Xiao Dianyou couldn’t help but feel more emotional towards Chu Qingfeng in her beautiful eyes.
“Haha, this is fate. If nothing happened at home, I wouldn’t have come to Tokyo to try my luck, and I wouldn’t have met a beauty like you, Miss Shinoda Yuu.”
Chu Qingfeng changed the subject, but Xiaotian You felt a little sad when she heard this. She thought Chu Feng was deliberately changing the subject to avoid thinking about her tragic life experience.
“Don’t stay still, Chu Jun, you can definitely do it, come on!”
Xiao Dianyou couldn’t think of how to comfort her, so she could only say what she often said when standing at the company gate.
Chu Feng waved his hand without saying anything more. At this time, the grilled bird skewers and beer came up.
“Sir, your meal is ready. This is a special gift from our restaurant to go with your wine. Please enjoy it.”
After the waiter finished speaking, he put down a plate of edamame, bowed respectfully and left immediately because he still had to serve other guests.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.
After drinking a bottle of wine, Xiao Dianyou’s fair cheeks turned slightly red.
The lipstick marks on her lips were also wiped off, revealing her thin lips with a slightly pink tint.
Her slender fingers rubbed the lipstick-stained wine glass.
After a long while, he slowly said, “Teacher Chu, your comic has been signed by the General Affairs Department. Congratulations. It’s really well drawn. Xiaoxun feels so pitiful…”
“What? General Department? Isn’t that the Youth Department?”
Chu Qingfeng was not surprised about the signing of the contract, but was surprised that the signing department was changed from the Youth Department to the General Affairs Department.
Xiao Dianyou finally saw the expression she wanted to see. Her beautiful eyes were a little blurred, and she drunkenly recounted everything that happened today, and emphasized how she persuaded Tetsuya Sakata to transfer the manuscript to the General Affairs Department.
“So there will be a pre-selected work this year?”
“Then is there still hope of winning the best prize?”
Chu Qingfeng knew very well that talent was worthless in the face of power.
This problem is especially serious in various selections.
“Don’t worry. The whole company knows about the disagreement between the heads of the General Department and the Youth Department. If your work goes to the General Department, the Youth Department’s constraints will be meaningless. Moreover, the company only has the right to accept submissions, not the right to decide who is the best.”
Xiao Dianyou told some of the things she knew, and glanced at Chu Qingfeng secretly with a dazed look in her eyes.
It’s as if he’s saying, I’m telling you so much because I treat you as a friend. If you become successful in the future, don’t forget me.
Chu Feng is not a fool. The other party said a lot of information that could not be found on the Internet, and he heard Xiaoxun in the other party’s words. It was obvious that Xiao Dianyou had also seen it.
Knowing the potential value of April Lie, combined with today’s meal, he had already guessed that this woman was not simple and had some plans in mind.
He simply wants to use this opportunity to make friends with me, and preferably get on my good side.
From the information provided by Xiao Dianyou, Chu Qingfeng knew a key point.
The evaluators of the comic award are professional reviewers in the industry, a total of 7 people.
Even if someone wants to take action and bribe them, as long as one person in the review panel vetoes it, they will not get the highest reward.
In other words, “You Lie in April” still has a great chance of winning the best award thanks to its high-quality story.
Moreover, only a few people directly submit their completed works for selection, so his chances are still very great.
Recovering his composure, Chu Feng looked at the slightly tipsy woman in front of him.
Although she was scheming, fortunately Chu Qingfeng was able to control her.
good!
Since you want to curry favor with someone.
There has to be some tangible reward, right?
I see the skewers are almost finished.
After Chu Qingfeng paid the bill, he helped the slightly tipsy Xiao Dianyou out.
This scene made many rough guys sitting alone at the bar so envious that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.
He murmured softly: “Damn it! Why don’t I have a colleague like this!”
………..
Chapter 21 The rooms are all open and cannot be wasted (old version)
Eight o’clock in the evening.
“taxi!!”
Chu Qingfeng held the beautiful woman’s arm with one hand and let her lean crookedly on his shoulder.
The other hand kept waving to stop taxis.
But now is the evening rush hour, especially in the office buildings in Fengtai District. This is the time when the cows and horses finish their overtime work.
The entire street was jammed with cars, and the sound of horns honking was endless.
“Chu, Lord Chu…”
“Where are we going~”
Xiao Dianyou, who was wearing high heels but was only as tall as Chu Qingfeng’s shoulders, leaned on Chu Qingfeng’s shoulder and asked in a daze.
Glancing at the pretty woman with dazed eyes and the scent of jasmine perfume on her shoulder, Chu Qingfeng didn’t know whether she was really drunk or pretending to be drunk.
Anyway, just assume she is really drunk!
“Where do you want to go?” Chu Qingfeng asked deliberately with a smile on his face.
He just wanted to see what this woman was going to do.
Did he think, “I understand your pretense of reserve, and you understand my ill intentions?”
“Where are you going… could you please take me home…”
Xiao Dianyou pretended to be drunk before she finished speaking, and her meaning was obvious.
Chu Qingfeng chuckled, this woman is definitely a veteran.
He said he would take her home, but actually he leaned into her arms.
Chu Qingfeng didn’t waste any words and took the girl into his arms, letting her lean on his chest.
Because of the height difference, Chu Qingfeng could see the bottomless ravine faintly visible through the V-neck shirt worn underneath the OL suit by lowering his head.
The anger in my heart grew even greater.
He felt that the water here was too complicated and only his own strength could make him handle it easily.
If others cannot grasp it, it is impossible to give others the opportunity to grasp it.
The wind was very strong at night, perhaps because they were afraid that Xiao Dianyou would catch a cold.
Chu Qingfeng hugged her tighter.
Depend on!
Where are the cars? Why isn’t there a single car?!
Chu Qingfeng cursed and moved his corn uncontrollably from time to time.
Feeling the warmth of the pointed head in my arms from time to time.
Xiaodianyou’s cheeks were flushed and her whole body was hot, probably because she had drunk some wine.
The lace that covers the plump and round breasts has become a little wet.
Her legs couldn’t help but come together, her high heels making crisp clicking sounds on the sidewalk tiles.
“You’ll feel more comfortable sleeping this way.”
“The car should be here soon.”
Chu Qingfeng took a deep breath, his breathing heavy.
With my hands down, I complained in my heart why Timo was working overtime so late at night!
After a long while, a taxi finally arrived, until Xiao Dianyou frowned and clenched her hands tightly around her sleeves.
As soon as Chu Qingfeng got in the car, he took two pieces of paper from the back seat and wiped his hands.
You have to scratch your hands because they are sticky.
“Guest, where are you going?”
“xxx Hotel.”
“OK!”
Of course Chu Qingfeng would not send anyone home. He had already paid for the hotel, so wouldn’t it be a loss if he didn’t stay there?
Save where you should save and spend where you should spend.
I threw away the crumpled tissue in my hand and suddenly felt as if there was a hair left on my hand.
Pick it up and look at it carefully.
That hair was obviously not his, nor did it look like Xiao Dianyou’s.
After all, Chu Qingfeng has black messy hair, while Xiao Dianyou has short golden hair that reaches her shoulders.
But the hair in his hand was short, curly and black.
Could it be~
Chu Qingfeng carefully picked it up and threw it out the window and whispered:
“It’s different in the city, there’s really more hair!”
The taxi quickly stopped at xxx Hotel, and Chu Qingfeng carefully helped Xiao Dianyou down.
Then the two of them staggered in.
As soon as he arrived at the front desk, Chu Qingfeng asked for the room card. The front desk clerk looked at the room card on the hook, confirmed the name, and handed it to Chu Feng.
There are good and bad things about this kind of small hotel.
The advantage is that no identification is required to book a room.
The disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it is not that high-end, the whole room is very small, there is no sofa, and there is no air conditioning.
Ta-da-da….
The high heels held the Hisi Prison Group and made a sound as they stepped on the wooden floor.
The front desk clerk’s heart almost beat along with the sound.
He looked at the slender waist held in the man’s arms, and the OL skirt swaying with her steps.
He murmured indignantly, “Damn! This guy is having too much fun, right? One a day, and two different types at that. Madame!”
Creak——
With the click of the room card, the door opened.
The small room with the open window was already empty. The messy bed told of the intensity of last night, and the umbrella thrown on the ground was nowhere to be seen.
There was still a trace of loneliness and emptiness in Chu Qingfeng’s heart, and last night’s conqueror mode was playing out in his mind.
To be honest, he missed the cute and innocent Matsumae Oka from last night.
But before he could reminisce about last night, Xiao Dianyou’s voice reached his ears.
“I feel a little dizzy. Can…can you sit for a while?”
Xiao Dianyou held Chu Qingfeng’s arm and pretended to be drunk. Looking at the small single room, a voice in her heart told her to leave quickly.
She never expected that the other party would only bring her to such a simple place. It was really contemptuous of her.
But when he thought that Chu Qingfeng might become a rising star in the comics industry in the future, he hesitated again.
If she left at this moment because of such a small matter, she knew she would regret it!
I might as well close my eyes and not think about anything. As long as tonight is over, I will have a reason to rely on him.
And along the way, the other party didn’t buy an umbrella.
If I get pregnant again…
Wouldn’t it be easy for me to control this young man in front of me?
Thinking of this, Xiao Dianyou’s already blurred eyes became even more moist.
“Of course, I’ll help you.”
As he said that, he helped Xiao Dianyou to sit on the edge of the bed. But as soon as she sat down, a pair of red lips came up.
Xiao Dianyou now has only one thought: getting pregnant!
Chapter 22: Headache? Bear with it! (Old version)
It always rains on summer nights.
Accompanied by bursts of thunder, the lights in the room flickered.
Chu Qingfeng didn’t know what was going on with him today.
Perhaps it was due to mental excitement.
It is also possible that there is no need to be as cautious with Xiaodianyou as with Matsumae Ouka.
The transaction relationship that he knew very well seemed to let him let go completely and stand up and kick with confidence.
The flimsy wooden headboard made a crisp sound.
“Headache…….”
“Hold on!”
[Proficiency +1.]Chu Qingfeng had a smile on his face when he finished his work a little after midnight.
The fingertips lightly knock on the stems and leaves of the plant outside the baby’s door.
The seafood Baijiang Qinglu gathered in the palm of her hand and then gently touched Xiao Dianyou’s lips.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a dying butterfly, allowing the stems and leaves with the scent of mountain mist to slowly lean in, casting tiny shadows on her tightly closed teeth.
Gulp, Gulp….
She raised her slender neck, and the trembling of swallowing was faintly visible under her fair skin.
“How is it?” Chu Qingfeng’s voice was filled with laughter, but his fingertips stroked his chin calmly.
Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice was as thin as a thread.
“Um…….”
Chu Qingfeng let out a long breath and sat on the edge of the bed.
“I heard that a good girl knows how to wash corn.”
Chu Qingfeng hinted with a smile.
Xiao Dianyou rolled her eyes at him and struggled to get up.
Chu Qingfeng felt the warm temperature.
I just feel satisfied both physically and mentally.
A moment later.
Xiao Dianyou raised her head in surprise, “Don’t you have a cooldown period?”
Chu Qingfeng smiled disdainfully.
“Oh, it seems you know a lot. You must have taken a lot of extra classes and played games, right?
“I’m going to give you a good lesson today. I’m going to emphasize this point. Real men don’t have this kind of stuff.”
Hearing the system’s cold yet heavenly voice, Chu Qingfeng silently called out the virtual panel.
Then a familiar panel frame appeared in front of him.
Age: 21
[Skills: Manga Artist (Proficient: 754/10000), Convenience Store Clerk (Proficient: 514/5000), Silvertongue (Proficient: 893/10000), Cooking (No-frills: 64/100)… Stamina (Proficient: 7/5000), Apricot and Mugwort (No-frills: 13/100)… Endurance (Beginner: 78/1000)…]After looking at the data he wanted to see the most, Chu Qingfeng still felt that he was not working hard enough.
Immediately decided to do it again!
Xiao Dianyou couldn’t help but tremble her hands when she realized that Chu Qingfeng wanted to set off firecrackers again.
She was a little panicked.
Even though I’ve waited for so many years.
Finally, she waited for an ideal potential stock with both good looks and talent, and she finally got to enjoy the good life.
But I can’t stand eating like this.
And apart from seeing blood, the handsome man in front of me opened the umbrella like magic.
This completely disrupted her plans.
Now Xiaoxue is like a fish out of water, her gills opening and closing desperately to breathe.
Xiao Dianyou said she was panicking, “Mr. Chu, can you take a break?”
Chu Qingfeng didn’t want to pay attention to her. “If it’s okay, it’s okay. If it’s not okay, it’s not okay. What do you mean by taking a break?”
Xiao Dianyou was so ashamed that she was about to cry.
Can you please take a break?
Who can do this?
Chu Qingfeng didn’t care about her.
Continue to press the lighter to find the fuse and set off the firecrackers.
“Hiss! Mr. Chu~”
“Huh?? Still calling me sir? Call me Dosan!”
“Duo, Duo-san, I was wrong, please forgive me!”
“I’ll let you rest, I’ll let you rest!”
“Huh~”
After a long time, Chu Qingfeng leaned against the head of the bed with a faint satisfaction on his face.
I didn’t expect to find a treasure, and it was my first time.
This woman has invested too much in herself, and it’s rare for her to keep her mouth shut at this age.
But from another perspective, such a woman is undoubtedly very smart.
If she had been loyal to others earlier, she wouldn’t still be a small receptionist.
It is obviously reserved for big investments.
“Money, power, hehe…”
Chu Qingfeng shook his head and laughed.
I used to despise snobbish people the most, but now I don’t think there is anything wrong with people being snobbish.
All this talk of being gentle, kind, respectful, frugal and modest is bullshit.
As long as you are strong enough, even if you have just begun to show your potential, as long as you can make people see your infinite value in the future, there will definitely be people who will be kind, respectful, frugal and modest to you.
If you respond in a pretentious manner, others will naturally think that you are a person who can accomplish great things, and that you are stylish, well-educated, and have good temperament.
Such men are not liked by women. Do women have to choose those useless guys who have nothing?
You have to know that even in ancient novels, when a lady eloped with a scholar, the scholar had to be a man of status, at least someone who could go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations.
Those who can go to Beijing to take the imperial examination are all Juren!
That person is qualified to become a county magistrate. Even in this world, he is a candidate for a city/team or a reserve cadre, and can be considered one of the top 100 people in a city (Sakura is composed of one city, one province, two prefectures, and forty-three counties, under which are cities, towns, and villages).
Chu Qingfeng was savoring the joy of chiseling Xiao Dianyou for two hours, and silently picked up his phone. He saw a text message appear in a pop-up window, and more than a dozen LINE messages.
I opened the text message first, it was a message from Kodansha.
The general meaning was that his comics had passed the review, and he was invited to the General Affairs Department to sign the contract tomorrow. They also said that they would do a brief interview with him.
Chu Qingfeng smiled and said nothing. This was something he had expected.
But what puzzled him was the editor named Iida Ayano that Xiaodianyou mentioned during dinner.
To be honest, he always felt that the name was familiar, but he didn’t remember who it was until he met the person.
Then I opened LINE again, and it was a message from Matsumae Oka.
These were some photos of her and her mother that she had secretly taken.
In the photo, her eyebrows are curved and there is a hint of joy in her eyes.
Her mother was standing a little further away from the picture, dragging her suitcase and looking at the bus stop sign.
It seems that the mother and daughter are not close enough to appear in the same frame happily.
To be honest, this is not good for Chu Qingfeng’s plan to make rice bowls in the future!
After the photo, Ouka sent me a message of surprise a few hours later.
It says:
[Feng Jun, I heard from my mother that you had an argument with someone on the street. Was it that greasy middle-aged man?]What a pity I wasn’t there…
Then a few hours later, there was another picture of the entrance of Xicui Village, with the text saying that they had arrived home.
And then, nothing happened.
Seeing that Chu Qingfeng seemed to miss the little girl, he sent a message.
[Ouka, are you asleep? ]Oka Matsumae was curled up in the quilt, the dim light of her mobile phone screen reflected on the collar of her pink pajamas. At this moment, her fingers that were scrolling through short videos suddenly paused, and a message popped up in the LINE notification bar – it was Chu Qingfeng.
My heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if a deer had gently bumped into my chest.
She bit her lip and tapped the screen with her fingertips. [I haven’t slept yet…]After hesitating for a moment, he added, “What have you been doing today, Fengjun? Why haven’t you replied to my messages?”
[Haha, I’m busy with something.] Chu Qingfeng replied vaguely, and naturally wouldn’t tell her that he was happily playing with others at the place where he played games last night.
[Oh…] Ouka stared at the screen, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the corner of the quilt, and a sense of loss arose in her heart.
After a few seconds of silence, she finally mustered up the courage and typed carefully:
[By the way, Feng-kun…are you really a cartoonist? ]Can I see your work?
After asking this question, her cheeks felt slightly hot.
In fact, she knew almost nothing about Chu Qingfeng.
We only met for one night, and I couldn’t even be sure whether what he said was true or false.
[Work? I submitted it, and you’ll probably see it in a couple of days. It’s called Your Lie in April.]【By the way, how is your mother? 】
Chu Qingfeng didn’t say much about the comics.
Instead, he asked about the grown-up version of Matsumae Oka, who was full of mature charm. Seeing that the other party was asking about her mother, Matsumae Oka felt a little uncomfortable, but when she thought of the attitude of the old lady who had just arrived at the store today, she couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
[She’s so annoying. Today, she was pointing fingers everywhere when we arrived at Xicui Manor…]Matsumae Oka puffed out her cheeks and kept complaining.
The two chatted for a while, and then Chu Qingfeng ended the conversation.
Then he hugged Xiao Dianyou, who was facing away from him, and touched her buttocks.
Xiao Dianyou was startled awake and tremblingly said:
“Dosan, wait, wait for next time, let me go…”
ps: Please readers, give me some free flowers, evaluation tickets, and comments. I also want monthly tickets (hehehe~)
Chapter 23 Newcomer Report, Shiori-chan, Yui-chan is here (Old Version)
It’s strange that Chu Qingfeng can listen!
The slender legs are as white as jade, the knees are slightly bent, and the calves and thighs are bent at right angles.
The willow waist was completely bent, and the big, round and straight breasts swayed in front of Chu Qingfeng’s eyes.
You can even smell a lingering and charming fragrance that makes you forget everything.
In Mei Baihe’s apartment.
At this moment, Mei Baihe looked at the time on her mobile phone and it was already past one in the morning.
She lay in bed unable to sleep.
Ever since Chu Qingfeng didn’t come back for two days, she has been in a state of low spirits.
Like I lost something important.
“Could it be that Feng-jun is looking for a new apartment?”
“That won’t do, Feng Jun… Feng Jun can’t leave. I’ve already given so much.”
“He can’t just…”
Mei Baihe became angrier the more she thought about it, but every time she picked up her phone to send a message to Chu Qingfeng, she didn’t know where to start.
To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two of them is just landlord and tenant, plus one-night lovers.
What reason did she have to go find Chu Qingfeng? Even if she did, what should she say?
Should I ask him if he has eaten?
Or ask him why he didn’t go home these two days?
Why should people tell her?
Mei Lily was so troubled by this that she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her two slightly short but golden-proportioned legs were clamped around the quilt, rubbing against each other slowly.
Yes.
She missed Chu Qingfeng…
“How about…how about I dress up as Miyazono Kaoru from Feng Jun’s creation? That way I’ll have a reason to look for him!”
“Yeah, yes, then add–help, Xiaoxun’s possessed Arima Kou who came to look for her has given birth.”
Thinking of this, Mei Lily couldn’t help but laugh. She loved this kind of cosplay so much and she really enjoyed acting.
Especially when performing for Chu Qingfeng.
When I think of that handsome face, my face turns red and I am filled with happiness.
She tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep, but in order to buy cosplay costumes early tomorrow, she took out the strange-screaming tool from the bedside table and forced herself into sleep.
Chu Qingfeng left the hotel at six in the morning, and less than ten minutes later, Xiao Dianyou also returned home, dragging his body that seemed to be falling apart.
Fortunately, she has a day off today and doesn’t have to go to work.
Otherwise, if I go to the company like this, I’m afraid I’ll be teased by the sisters at the front desk and feel embarrassed.
Dadada…….
The sound of high heels hitting the ground today was obviously not as loud and clear as last night.
My legs are weak and I feel unsteady when I walk, how can I be strong and powerful?
Xiao Dianyou staggered to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, sat in the back seat, and rushed straight home.
The hotel’s cleaning lady pushed the cleaning cart and started cleaning the room.
Although the hotel is small, it is very clean and every aunt is very professional.
They wore gloves and masks and cleaned each room with alcohol cleaning products.
After each room is cleaned, it will be thoroughly disinfected.
Soon, they cleaned the room where Chu Qingfeng stayed for two nights. As soon as they entered, even the cleaning lady who had seen a lot of things was stunned.
It was a small single room with water stains on the floor, which shimmered in the sunlight.
The worst thing is the bed sheets.
I have really suffered a lot.
It took two cleaning ladies working together to sort out the moisture-filled quilt and take it to the roof to dry in the sun.
After changing the bedding set, the cleaning lady took the mop and started cleaning.
As she mopped the floor, she muttered to herself, “Young people nowadays are too reckless. When you reach my age, you’ll understand…”
Two o’clock in the afternoon, 711 convenience store.
Chu Qingfeng was about to hand over his get off work to his colleagues.
But I heard the part-time job of the neighbor aunt who also looked very similar to Crayon Shin-chan’s house was chatting.
“Chu Jun, have you heard?”
“What?”
“It’s that thing.” The aunt saw Chu Qingfeng’s puzzled expression and it aroused her desire to share.
“Hasn’t our store been quite busy lately?”
“The store manager has hired two more people. They’ll be starting soon. I heard they’re still high school students.”
“It’s really a work-study program.”
In fact, as far as Chu Qingfeng knows.
In this world, it is very common for high school students to work part-time.
But since they have to attend classes during the day, they basically work part-time in the evening.
“Oh, that’s it. Just hire them. There will be more people on each shift, and it will be a lot easier.”
Chu Qingfeng was not interested in recruiting people.
As soon as his comic wins a grand prize and he gets paid, he’ll leave the convenience store and devote himself to comics.
He doesn’t care whether to work part-time or not.
But the moment the door to the staff lounge opened, he regretted it.
Fuck those comics specialists!
“Haha, Chu Jun and Aunt Youshan are here too?”
“That’s perfect. Let me introduce you to my new colleague.”
The person who came was the manager of this convenience store. She was a forty-year-old woman who looked like an ordinary person.
The wrinkles on his face are clearly visible and there are some white hairs on his head.
You can tell at first glance that he is a weathered man.
“Manager, are they those two girls?” the auntie next to her asked with a smile. She liked to have new people come the most, so that even if she was just a part-time worker, she would be considered an old employee.
The manager nodded without saying anything.
This is no secret.
Everyone in the store knew about it except Chu Qingfeng, who didn’t care whether there were new employees or not.
It’s amazing to say.
Except for Chu Qingfeng, who is a man, all other employees in this store, whether regular or part-time, are women.
And they are all aunt-level.
When Chu Qingfeng came for the interview, I was very skeptical. I wondered if having a man like him here was just to please the eyes?
The fact was just as Chu Qingfeng expected. Every time he went to work, the aunties always looked at him with a smile.
But what can be done about it? It’s not his fault that he is good-looking.
“Come in, Shiori-chan, Yui-chan.”
Chu Qingfeng was slightly stunned when he heard the name, what what?
Shiori-chan, Yui-chan? ! !
Could it be them?
Dadada……
The crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor is getting closer and closer.
Then the two girls walked into the staff lounge.
…………..
Chapter 24 Angry at Dong Yuezhi (old version)
It’s really them!
Good, good, good!
Chu Qingfeng looked at the girl who walked in without saying a word, but just applauded in his heart.
Who suggested becoming a full-time cartoonist?
The person who came was none other than the girl that Chu Qingfeng was very familiar with when he was on Earth.
Dong Yue and Nakaizumi Yui.
“Hello, please take care of me in the future.”
Yui Nakaizumi smiled like a flower, and her long twin ponytails danced gently as she bowed.
The hem of the JK uniform skirt draws a youthful curve.
It looked like a warhorse waiting for its rider, shaking its reins.
Dong Yuexuan, who was standing next to her, also saluted, but with her slightly raised chin and slightly proud eyes, she looked like a cat that refused to admit defeat.
Chu Qingfeng’s gaze lingered on Dong Yuezhuo for two more seconds.
This girl really has the capital to be proud of. (Nakaizumi Yui also has a lot of truth)
The uniform shirt was stretched tight, and the slender legs under the skirt were wrapped in black over-the-knee socks, giving off an aura that kept strangers away.
“Hello.” Chu Qingfeng simply responded and prepared to leave.
Signing a contract with Kodansha is the highlight of today. He doesn’t have time to play around and fawn with little girls.
When I walked out of the staff lounge and passed by Dong Yuexuan, I accidentally rubbed against the sponge.
Needless to say, Chu Qingfeng also knew what he had touched.
Dong Yuexuan jumped away as if she had been electrocuted, her hands covering her chest with a look of disgust on her face:
“Are you a pervert? Did you do this on purpose?”
“Don’t you even look at the road? Be careful!”
Chu Qingfeng paused and turned slowly.
The girl’s flushed face and contemptuous eyes made him angry.
Chu Qingfeng glanced at Dong Yuecheng and angrily said:
“Is this my problem?!”
Um?
Answer me.
lookmyeyes!!
tellmewhy???
“Teemo’s business is taking up too much space on the road. When you see people trying to leave, you block the door like a statue. I really don’t know if your brain has grown into a nut!”
Chu Qingfeng is not a bad person, but he is not a good person either.
If everyone speaks nicely to each other, he will naturally be polite too.
But if you act indiscriminately and get ahead of others, he will never tolerate it, even if the person you are asking is a girl.
So what if it’s fucking a horse?
The woman still angrily retorted, saying that just because she looks pretty, does that mean she is a pervert if she looks at everyone?
If you make me angry, I’ll just turn into a yellow-haired guy and stand up and kick!
Chu Qingfeng glared at Dong Yuexuan coldly, his eyes showing no sign of hiding his impatience.
Dong Yuexuan was shocked by his sudden tough attitude.
His chest heaved violently with anger, his fair cheeks flushed red, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn’t utter a word of rebuttal for a long time.
Chu Qingfeng was too lazy to argue with her anymore, so he walked around her and strode towards the door.
This kind of woman deserves to be punished!
“Shiori-chan, don’t be angry…” Nakaizumi Yui, who was also wearing a JK uniform, carefully pulled the corner of Dongyue Shiori’s clothes and whispered, “This is our first day here, and…it’s really us who are blocking the way.”
The store manager and the part-time lady finally came to their senses and looked at each other in bewilderment.
It was the first time they saw Chu Qingfeng like this.
He is usually polite to everyone, but I didn’t expect that when he gets angry he would be so direct and curse people without beating around the bush.
The store manager laughed dryly and tried to lighten the mood: “That… Shiori-chan, don’t take it too seriously. Chu-jun usually has a good temper, but when others want to leave, they should indeed give way first… I have to remind you of this.”
She paused and added:
“Okay, let’s put this behind us! Come with me, I’ll get you your work clothes and badges. Today is a trial day, and you’ll officially start next Monday.”
“Yeah!” Nakaizumi Yui nodded obediently while gently patting Dong Yue’s back to comfort her. She then confirmed with the store manager, “Manager, can we schedule our shifts fixed to weekday evenings? As you know, we have classes during the day, so we can only work part-time at night. We can be flexible on weekends.”
“No problem.” The store manager agreed readily, “I’ll show you around first.”
Not long after, two girls wearing green striped tops and black JK skirts appeared in front of the cash register and followed the old employees to learn how to operate the cash register.
Although Dong Yuexuan was still angry, since it was her first day at work, she could only suppress her anger and follow the instructions silently.
However, occasionally her eyes would unconsciously glance towards the door, as if waiting for some annoying guy to come back…
As for Chu Qingfeng walking on the road, although he angrily scolded Dong Yuexuan, it was not so easy to let go of the matter.
As soon as I got on the bus from Nerima Ward to Toshima Ward, I called the convenience store manager.
“Manager, it’s me.”
“I was a little impulsive just now.”
“Newbies really need someone to guide them. Why not put me in the same shift with them?”
The store owner who received Chu Qingfeng’s call breathed a sigh of relief, “I’m glad you think so…”
“Then you’ll be on the same shift with them next week, Chu Jun. You have to remember our store’s slogan.”
The store manager’s aunt was actually also considering this. She felt that no matter how the business was doing, there must be harmony within the store. Since Chu Qingfeng was willing to reconcile with the new part-time worker, she naturally agreed with both hands.
“Okay.” After hanging up the phone, Chu Qingfeng sneered at the passing scenery outside the window.
slogan?
The slogan is a joke! ! .
The kind of brainless woman who relies on her good looks to think that everyone has ill intentions towards her.
She must be taught a lesson!
Iida Ayano sat quietly in the office chair, her long legs crossed, her blue knee-length skirt slightly tightened above her knees, outlining a soft line.
She looked out the window. The street scenes of Tokyo became blurred in her dazed eyes, and birds flying in the distance soared in the blue sky.
The glass window reflected her profile, and even her light makeup couldn’t hide the fatigue in her eyes.
On the desk were the documents for signing a contract with Chu Qingfeng.
If I sign April’s Lie today, even if EVENING goes on hiatus, I’ll have enough capital to move into other departments…
But yesterday when she went to the editor-in-chief’s office and recommended Chu Qingfeng’s drawings, the editor-in-chief’s words echoed in her mind again:
“Iida-chan, you should understand your current situation. You are my junior and I should take care of you, but I hope you will also seize the opportunity. Opportunities are rare for a genius like you.”
When Iida Ayano thought of this, she felt a tightness in her chest.
Like being entangled by invisible silk threads.
The more you struggle, the tighter the invisible thread becomes.
It’s not that she doesn’t understand some of the rules of editing.
I just never thought that one day I would reach this point.
“April Lie, I picked it up this time, and it’s also an opportunity given to me by God.”
“How many opportunities can we have in our lifetime?”
“And if I want to continue in the editing field, it would be really difficult to do so without some painter resources.”
Iida Ayano’s fingertips gently touched the cool touch of the contract paper, which suddenly reminded her of the interview day a year ago.
She remembered that it was drizzling that day.
I had just graduated from college and was standing under the Kodansha building with a thick stack of resumes.
“Why do you want to be an editor?” the interviewer asked her.
The 22-year-old’s voice trembled, but with unquestionable determination, “Because… I want more good stories to be seen.”
The eyes in my memory were surprisingly bright.
But now the light in the eyes of the woman reflected in the glass window is about to go out.
Iida Ayano suddenly laughed.
The editor-in-chief’s face with a meaningful smile was reflected in my mind, and her words of “kind advice” lingered in my ears.
“As a female editor, you should understand your strengths, right?”
“You have to behave well. If you don’t hold on to it firmly, be careful that someone else will snatch it away in the future.”
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
Chu Qingfeng got off the bus and walked to the entrance of Kodansha.
Today is Saturday and not many people come to work overtime.
When I arrived at the front desk, I was still warmly welcomed.
Chu Qingfeng took out the message sent by Kodansha last night and handed it to the front desk.
The front desk immediately called the general affairs department to inquire.
After receiving a positive answer, she put on a gentle smile again and handed over a temporary pass.
“Mr. Chu, the General Affairs Department is on the 15th floor. Please take the elevator to the middle floor.”
The receptionist asked for permission, and Chu Qingfeng took the temporary access card and walked towards the elevator.
Then a strange phone call came in.
There was a girl on the other end of the phone, and her voice sounded a little nervous.
“Excuse me, is this Mr. Chu Qingfeng? I’m Ayano Iida, an editor in Kodansha’s general department. Have you arrived at the company yet? I’ll come down to pick you up.”
Hearing the respectful voice, Chu Qingfeng smiled faintly: “No need, I’m already in the elevator and will be there soon.”
“Ah?! Then I’ll wait for you at the door!”
P.S.: Are any readers reading this? Please give me some free gifts. Throw them all on me.
Chapter 25: In order to stay, Iida Ayano fights hard! (Old version)
【bite!】
【15th floor reached! 】
As the elevator chime sounded, the door opened.
When Chu Qingfeng walked out, he saw a woman who was not wearing a Western-style uniform, but a beautiful casual outfit.
It was Iida Ayano.
A light blue knee-length skirt exudes a refreshing coolness.
Her short black hair was no longer than her shoulders, and she wore an orange headband on top of her head.
She was about 1.6 meters tall wearing high-heeled sandals. Her facial features were decent. She couldn’t be said to be good-looking, but she was very attractive.
Her chestnut eyes, light makeup, and short black hair give her a fresh and capable look.
This outfit doesn’t have any serious workplace vibe, but it doesn’t give people the feeling of being ignored.
On the contrary, it exudes a natural affinity.
It makes people feel like the sister next door who wants to invest in it.
Obviously, some thought was put into it.
At this moment, she placed her hands on her lower abdomen, her waist was very straight, and her slender eyelashes trembled slightly under the fluorescent light.
When those clear eyes full of youthfulness saw the elevator door open and a young and handsome man walked out, she felt inexplicably relieved.
“You are Teacher Chu Qingfeng, right?”
“I’m sorry I didn’t go down to pick you up.”
Chu Qingfeng didn’t show any stage fright. He smiled faintly and responded easily, “It’s okay. I’m here now, aren’t I?”
This look actually surprised Iida Ayano. From what she knew, the man in front of her was definitely a novice in the industry.
Moreover, he is so young, yet there is no trace of nervousness or excitement in his tone.
Just peace.
Did he already know that he could sign the contract?
Iida Ayano shook her head without thinking too much about it. Everyone has a different personality, and maybe that’s just how people handle things calmly.
“My apologies, I’m Ayano Iida, the editor of the General Affairs Department. Please… “
Iida Ayano bowed solemnly, showing the utmost respect.
“Hello!” Chu Qingfeng subconsciously extended his hand.
“Give me some advice…”
Then time seemed to freeze and all sounds stopped.
Iida Ayano, who had bent down to reveal her fair skin under her collar, tilted her head to look at the slender palm that was almost parallel to her line of sight, her eyes full of astonishment.
Chu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and quickly withdrew his hand.
Iida Ayano remained bent over, her eyes slightly raised, her expression very aggrieved.
The meaning seems to be saying, please return the gift quickly…
Chu Qingfeng realized that he seemed to have forgotten something and remembered that he should return the gift.
After one month in this world, he had learned some basic etiquette.
However, he did not intend to bow in return.
Not now, and certainly not in the future!
Instead, I planned to respond with a nod, which is a common method used among young people anyway.
“Haha, Miss Iida is too polite. Let’s not be so formal. Just have a formality.”
Upon hearing this, Iida Ayano quickly straightened her back.
Yes, the editor-in-chief said at the previous meeting: Treat your authors in a way that suits their preferences.
Especially the younger generation today is not used to the old-fashioned ways.
“It turns out that Teacher Chu is also a person who doesn’t care about trivial matters. It seems that I am too old-fashioned.” Iida Ayano looked at Chu Qingfeng with a smile.
“Teacher Chu, sit here.”
Iida Ayano didn’t dwell on it too much, but went straight to the point.
She now only prayed that this young man knew nothing and would sign April Lie without paying any price.
They came to the reception room and arranged Chu Qingfeng to sit on the sofa.
While Iida Ayano was preparing tea, Chu Qingfeng looked around the empty office area.
Today is Saturday.
In the small EVENING office, only Iida Ayano was working overtime.
After a while, Iida Ayano brought the brewed tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Chu Qingfeng.
I sat down on the sofa next to me.
She is wearing a knee-length skirt today.
At first glance, it seems to be an ordinary casual style, but it is made to look capable by her focused and neat workplace charm.
It’s as if he can slam a project plan on the table at any time and say without question: This storyboard needs to be redrawn!
It’s easy to turn on conqueror mode.
The leather sofa was concave, forming a perfect arc, and two straight long legs were leaning towards Chu Qingfeng.
Ten round, white jade-like toes were almost touching Chu Qingfeng.
However, her sitting posture was not with her legs closed, but slightly apart.
What’s even more outrageous is that she originally had the facial features of a big sister next door, but now she looks well-behaved and submissive.
Her beautiful eyes were like water, and she was looking at Chu Qingfeng with a smile.
It seems to be inviting people to set off firecrackers immediately.
“Teacher Chu, is it convenient for us to talk about the contract now?”
Iida Ayano gently placed the folder on the table with a gentle look in her eyes, and her attitude was so respectful that it was almost like treating a superior.
If Chu Qingfeng hadn’t learned the inside story from Xiao Dianyou last night, he probably wouldn’t have believed it was true.
You should know that in the comics industry, in large companies, especially top companies like Kodansha, the status of editors is much higher than that of ordinary cartoonists.
Not to mention a blank newcomer like Chu Qingfeng.
But since we know that “EVENING” is about to be discontinued, Ayano Iida is likely to be optimized.
The attentiveness at this moment seems reasonable.
As Chu Qingfeng calmly took the document, his eyes inadvertently swept over Iida Ayano, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
It was originally a knee-length skirt, and it barely covered the front part.
What made Chu Qingfeng almost bleed from his nose was that when he glanced over, he actually saw a…
No, isn’t that how it’s played?
Shao!
Damn it! It’s really Shao!
They really put a lot of effort into signing the contract and were able to be so honest with each other.
He even suspected that declaring war directly now would probably work!
Seeing the look in Chu Qingfeng’s eyes, a faint blush appeared on Iida Ayano’s face, and then she covered it with her hand intentionally or unintentionally.
It seemed to touch Chu Qingfeng’s nerves.
She learned this trick from those senior actresses in blockbuster movies.
It seems to be very successful, Iida Ayano was secretly happy.
Maybe if I give him some more benefits, this handsome young man in front of me will be completely defeated without knowing what to do!
Chu Qingfeng saw that this was just a small benefit, who would want to see it?
I have a grasp of the other party’s situation.
Want to sign a contract?
Let’s get practical today, I’m afraid it will be hard to stop.
Anyway, the initiative is in your hands.
Chapter 26: Controlling Iida Ayano (Old Version)
“Teacher Chu, what do you think?”
Iida Ayano deliberately lowered her voice and leaned forward slightly, bringing the contract on the coffee table into their sight. “If you choose to cooperate with me, I can personally guarantee that your work will be nominated for this year’s manga award.”
Having said this, she paused.
The corners of his mouth raised a smile that he thought was very convincing:
“To be honest, your work is indeed excellent…but the competition this year is extremely fierce, and there is a talented newcomer like you. It would be difficult without the help of an editor…”
Iida Ayano secretly clenched her other hand hidden in her knees.
She hoped to scare the blank cartoonist in front of her with the words she had thought of all night.
What if he really doesn’t understand?
Take a gamble!
Iida Ayano observed the other person’s reaction calmly, and her legs tightened unconsciously a little more.
In the sandals, the round toes curled slightly due to tension, and fine beads of sweat formed a sticky membrane between the soles of the feet and the leather.
Chu Qingfeng looked up at Iida Ayano, whose eyes were full of expectation, and sneered in his heart.
If Xiao Dianyou hadn’t told him everything last night, he would have really been in trouble today!
My impression of Iida Ayano is a little lower.
He put the contract down under her expectant gaze. “Ms. Iida, please wait a moment about the signing. I need to take a look at the contract.” Then he changed the subject. “By the way, didn’t you say there was a brief interview?”
Right now, this girl is trying to fool me with the information gap, so I must read the contract carefully. There might be a trap. If I sign it without thinking because of the temptation of beauty, I won’t even know that I’ve been sold out!
He, Chu Qingfeng, loves beautiful women, but he is not a fool.
Iida Ayano coughed lightly.
Only then, in panic and frustration, did he take out a piece of manuscript paper and spread it on his legs.
With one hand, gently push the hair that is not caught by the headband behind your ears.
With the other hand, he picked up a water-based pen and placed the tip of the pen on the first line of the manuscript paper.
The pair of white legs reluctantly parted slightly again.
“Then could you briefly tell us what your original intention was in drawing this comic?”
Iida Ayano asked a routine question.
Chu Qingfeng thought for a moment, then leaned back on the sofa, glancing over the depths of the transparent fabric, and slowly replied, “Of course it’s because I’m short of money. I wanted to win the 1 million yuan prize, so I drew it.”
“…….”
Iida Ayano’s pen tip was frozen on the first line without writing a single word.
How could she remember this answer?
She wondered if the handsome man in front of her was deliberately teasing her?
Please, Your Lie in April, such a beautiful, inspiring and touching work was actually born in this money-making brain, it is simply unexpected!
“I wonder if Mr. Chu has ever looked up the information about the songs played by high school students Arima Kousei and Miyazono Kaoru in the comics, as well as the matches they played, to see if those matches actually existed in real life?”
“Information? I haven’t checked it specifically.” Chu Qingfeng shook his head.
“So, you drew this entirely from your imagination?”
“No, purely through dreams.”
“Dream?”
“……..”
Iida Ayano was about to start writing when she froze.
She wanted to complain.
We’re both dreaming, so why can’t I come up with a comic like Your Lie in April?
“Haha, I didn’t expect Teacher Chu’s answer to be so unique and humorous.”
Iida Ayano smiled awkwardly but politely, then continued, “I’ve finished reading this work. I wonder if the ending is too sad. Have you ever considered getting razor blades sent to you?”
“That’s not sadness, that’s regret.”
“Blade? You have to be able to find me.”
“Besides, this is a tragedy in the first place. How can a tragedy end in a comedy?”
Iida Ayano pondered for a moment, as if she felt that Chu Qingfeng was right.
Tragedy is tragedy. Can it still be a tragedy if it ends with a comedy?
“That……”
“Okay, Miss Iida, how about we skip this step and get back to the signing?”
Chu Qingfeng waved his hand and interrupted the other party’s spell.
I originally wanted to use the interview to tangle the other party, but I didn’t expect that the clown would be myself.
He still has a little bit of shame.
After all, this is not his real work.
Of course, these are all polite remarks. The real reason is that this comic is not his original creation. He is afraid that the other party will ask some tricky questions and he will accidentally reveal the truth.
Then all my ambitions would be ruined.
Iida Ayano silently put away the interview transcript that only had a few words written on it.
Inadvertently, her legs parted slightly, and her long legs stretched forward almost touching Chu Qingfeng.
Looking up, their eyes met, she sized up Chu Qingfeng.
The black hair is messy and the bangs are slightly long, which looks a little messy.
His handsome face had a calm expression.
There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
I always feel like my little tricks have been seen through.
“Miss Iida?” Seeing that she didn’t speak for a long time, Chu Qingfeng shook her arm.
“Ah? Oh, yes…”
Iida Ayano, who was slightly distracted, came back to her senses with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
“So, Mr. Chu wants to sign a contract with me?”
“Hehe, let me take a look at the contract.”
Chu Qingfeng did not respond directly. He knew in his heart that he had to sign.
But now, even if he is willing to sign the contract, this small benefit you gave him inadvertently will not work.
But can Baogu agree?
If I hadn’t been distracted all the time.
It’s already the Dragon Raising Day on the second day of the second month.
Chu Qingfeng looked at the contract in detail, firstly to put pressure on the other party, and secondly to see if there were any obvious pitfalls.
During the half hour of reading the contract.
Iida Ayano, who had been sitting on the sofa next to him, pursed her lips and used all the little tricks she learned from watching blockbusters, hoping to knock Chu Qingfeng unconscious.
Finally, under her guidance, she signed a contract with the work and even signed a contract with the person…
Chu Qingfeng exhaled a breath of foul air.
Closing the contract, he said, “Miss Iida, I can sign the contract, but can you do me a favor?”
Chu Qingfeng said as he sat up straight and moved away the contract documents that had been covering the tent.
His eyes were extremely serious.
At this moment, he must take the initiative to test.
After all, the other party is about to play their cards openly. It would be impolite to drag your feet like a woman.
“Ah? What’s the matter?”
Seeing Chu Qingfeng sitting upright, he took away the documents in his hand.
Iida Ayano pursed her lips unnaturally…
Is it still going to come to that?
This young man in front of me is really difficult to deal with.
“That’s right. You know how hard it is to draw comics, especially for cartoonists like me who turn in their work right after finishing it. I’m confident this comic will win the Grand Prize. If you sign me, there will be many benefits.”
Seeing that the other party was not disgusted by the tent, Chu Qingfeng directly stated his purpose.
Iida Ayano was stunned for a moment, but she was smart and quickly understood what Chu Qingfeng meant.
But here…if someone sees us…
She looked at the contract casually thrown on the coffee table, and then looked at Chu Qingfeng who looked serious.
It seems that it is not impossible to be loyal to such a young and handsome guy…
Anyway, I won’t suffer any loss.
She stood up, her voice trembling, but revealing helplessness, “I understand, please follow me.”
After saying this, she bent down to pick up the contract. The blue knee-length skirt wrapped around her waist formed an elegant blunt angle, but it could not hide the stiffness of her back.
A slender, white hand picked up the contract and walked towards another office.
That is the meeting room of the EVENING editorial department.
The conference room is not very big, about 12 square meters.
Chu Qingfeng took a look. What’s the difference between here and the reception room?
Before he could finish his thought, Iida Ayano walked straight to the corner of the wall. With a light press of her hands, a hidden door suddenly appeared on the original background wall.
When I walked in, there were a lot of things inside. It should be a storage room.
Click——
After closing the door, Chu Qingfeng stood where he was.
And Iida Ayano naturally knelt in front of him.
She looked up at Chu Qingfeng, “You won’t regret it, will you?”
Chu Qingfeng smiled and took Iida Ayano’s hand, took the water-based pen from her hand, opened the contract and signed his name directly.
And in the pen name column, I saw the printer next to him casually wrote “Printer” as his pen name.
“Are you relieved?”
Seeing Iida Ayano signing the contract, her eyebrows curved and she revealed a bitter smile.
Chapter 27 Do you want to print papaya? (Old version)
Shibuya, Tokyo.
When passing by a model shop, Miyuri was attracted by the maid outfit in the window.
The hollow lace design on it is very bold.
Especially the string of small bells on the mannequin’s neck is the finishing touch.
Mei Lily unconsciously raised her hand and touched the empty white neck.
I remembered that last time I was at Chu Qingfeng’s house, I had thought about cosplaying as a maid and serving Chu Qingfeng.
“If it’s this outfit, Feng Jun should like it, right?”
“Isn’t that too bold?”
“Ah~ What am I thinking about? Didn’t I come out today to buy the same uniform as Xiaoxun?”
Mei Lily asked three questions in a row, but finally walked in.
As soon as I stepped into the store, a female clerk in a unique uniform came to greet me.
Miyuri looked at the other person inconspicuously.
The well-tailored light blue uniform has cleverly cutouts on both sides of the waist to reveal the waistline, making the already slender waistline even more slender.
What is even more eye-catching is the perfect body proportions. The slender frame supports the full curves, just like a thin branch full of fruits, showing amazing tension under the professional attire.
There is no harm without comparison. Meili looked down and saw her toes.
Thinking of the drawing she found at Chu Qingfeng’s house a few days ago, she couldn’t help but pout.
He muttered, “Small buns are better. I can eat one xiaolongbao in one bite.”
“Hello, we don’t accept minors here~”
Hearing the female clerk’s words, Miyuri snorted and handed over her ID, “Actually, I’m an adult.”
“Ah… I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize you were already an adult, Miss Lily. What can I do for you?”
Mei Lily took back her ID without saying anything else. She had encountered this kind of thing many times.
“Excuse me, do you sell high school uniforms here?”
“Of course. What kind do you need? I’ll find a few for you.”
The model shop has a wide variety of clothes, including clothes for various professions and scenes.
There are also quite a few high school student-type clothes, from JK to sportswear to school swimsuit, and each type of clothing has various designs.
“What do you think of this one?”
While I was browsing, the clerk had already taken out a uniform with a hollow design and a miniskirt.
Miyuri took a look and shook her head.
“What about this one?”
Still not satisfied.
After selecting several pieces, Miyuri finally settled on a regular uniform with a slightly shorter skirt and a shrine maiden outfit. “Let’s take these two. Please get me a size M. I want to try them on.”
After a while, Meili took the clothes to the fitting room.
Although it was a normal style, after putting it on, Mei Lily felt a little cold in her lower body.
As soon as she takes a step, the hem of her skirt will lift up to the left and right, as if others can easily see the beautiful scenery.
Miyuri looked at herself in the mirror carefully.
With her hands on her hips, her curves were clearly visible, and even the slightly undulating hills were set off by her clothes to give her a sense of meaning.
It’s clear that the clothes were designed with care.
Miyuri was very satisfied and her eyes turned to the hanging shrine maiden costume.
She took off her jk clothes and put on a shrine maiden costume.
Because it is too tight, you need to take off your underwear as well.
But even so, it’s still too tight. The slightest movement makes me feel like the clothes are digging into my flesh.
Maybe because it’s too spicy, Mei Lily doesn’t like it very much.
She took off her clothes, changed into her own clothes, and walked out of the fitting room with the clothes.
The female clerk who had been waiting in the fitting room couldn’t help but step forward when she saw Mei Lily come out.
Meilily said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I want this JK outfit, but I don’t like it very much.”
The female clerk took the clothes with a smile, “It’s okay…” Before she finished speaking, she frowned and smiled apologetically.
“Sorry, you can’t return this suit.”
“There’s water stains on it.”
Miyuri was stunned when she heard this, and her cheeks turned red.
Seeing the triangle strap of the clothes, he shamefully snatched the clothes away and said, “Sorry, I bought this dress.”
When I walked out of the door again, Miyuri was already walking on the streets of Shibuya carrying a bag of clothes.
“I need to buy another violin.”
“By the way, I already bought the miko costume, so I can’t let it go to waste. I’ll try it on, maybe it’ll have a different effect…”
“By the way, I should call Feng Jun and ask him to come and see Xiaoxun.”
As she spoke, Mei Lily sat on a chair in a coffee shop and called Chu Qingfeng.
In the storage room of the EVENING magazine conference room.
The phone vibrated.
Buzz buzz buzz~~~
Chu Qingfeng, who was sitting in a chair enjoying the warmth, turned on his phone and saw that it was the landlady, but he didn’t answer it immediately.
Instead, he picked up the phone and put it in a dust bag.
Then he handed it to Iida Ayano, who was kneeling in front of him and nodding.
“Take this.”
“Uh…this…”
Is he asking me to answer the phone?
But why should the phone be in a bag?
Iida Ayano was a little confused, but she still took it in her hand obediently. When she took it in her hand, she felt the phone vibrate and checked the caller ID.
Landlady?
Why didn’t he answer the phone when his landlord called?
Iida Ayano didn’t understand, but soon she understood everything.
Mei Baihe was sitting on a bench in the cafe, holding the phone to her ear in one hand, and when the call was connected, she took a cup of cappuccino in the other hand and sipped it elegantly.
Her little face, full of girlishness, was furrowed with brows.
“Why don’t you answer the phone, Feng Jun?”
The call rang for more than forty seconds, but no one answered.
“Feng Jun… Could something have happened?”
Mei Baihe’s heart tightened, and she quickly called back.
I waited for a while but still no one answered.
I called again, but no one answered.
I made nearly ten calls in a row, but still no one answered.
Mei Baihe’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and she was very worried.
But I kept comforting myself, it’s okay, maybe others are busy.
Just as Meibaihe thought, Chu Qingfeng was indeed busy.
Iida Ayano felt so wronged that she was about to cry.
She now wanted to pick up the phone and curse.
“Teacher Chu…”
“Woo…”
“Can I…?”
Iida Ayano almost begged in a crying voice.
Chu Qingfeng, however, turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window and closed his eyes completely in meditation.
He turned a deaf ear to Iida Ayano’s pleas.
What does it have to do with him?
Please, you are not willing to pay this price?
Five minutes later, the phone finally stopped ringing.
Wave~
Chu Qingfeng picked up the phone that fell on the ground and wiped off the dust with a tissue.
He looked at the printer beside him and asked:
“Ms. Iida, is that printer over there still working?”
“I want to print something.”
“It should be possible…”
Iida Ayano coughed and slowly stood up. Her legs and feet felt numb as she knelt down.
Come to the printer.
Turn on the power and it still works.
He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, removing a few curly hairs.
Chu Qingfeng skillfully opened the dust cover of the printer.
He looked at Iida Ayano with a smile.
Chapter 28 You don’t want your printed photos to be ugly, right? (Old version)
“Lie here.”
A cafe in Shibuya.
Mei Baihe finished her coffee, paid the bill, and walked towards a musical instrument store carrying the clothes she had just bought.
What is the most important thing about cos?
Of course, the best cosplay is to perfectly restore the character, not only the clothes the character often wears, but also his or her personality.
But these whitening methods can only restore the clothes, as for the personality, she tried her best.
I went to a musical instrument store and bought a walnut violin.
After buying all the necessary props, Mei Baihe hailed a taxi and went straight home.
On a hot summer day, even if you just walk around the street for an hour, Mei Baihe will be sticky all over.
He put down the clothes in his hands, picked up the towel and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Firstly, it washes off the sticky sweat, and secondly, it prepares for the evening.
After all, she didn’t want to feel salty or fresh in front of the person she loved.
“La la la ~ Tonight I want to be Xiaoxun ~”
After taking a shower, Mei Baihe lay in the bathtub and imagined how to play the role of Miyazono Kaoru.
After a long time, Meibaihe came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. Her fair face became slightly red due to excessive bathing.
While wiping her hair with a towel, she picked up her phone and continued to call Chu Qingfeng.
In the Kodansha Building, the storage room of the EVENING magazine conference room.
Click, click….
Paper keeps coming out of the printer.
The low voice echoed in the small, dimly lit utility room.
Looking at the printer that keeps spitting out paper.
Chu Qingfeng couldn’t help but sigh.
How come such a good thing is just gathering dust in the warehouse?
But the black and white papaya doesn’t look clear.
“Miss Iida, is there a color mode?”
“Yes, yes…”
“Then why don’t you switch to color mode? The black and white printouts don’t look good at all.”
“You don’t want ugly photos printed, do you?”
“Yes… yes…”
Iida Ayano held onto the printer.
She pressed a few buttons on the console while standing on tiptoe to respond, and after a beep, she said with difficulty: “Okay…”
Looking at the smooth back in front of me, the short chestnut hair was pulled into a ponytail.
It was as if firecrackers were being set off in the utility room, with crackling sounds going off non-stop.
Even such a large printer could hardly bear it.
Click, click…
A colorful A4 paper popped out from the paper outlet.
Chu Qingfeng is very capable.
This is thanks to the increased proficiency in physical strength and endurance that’s been going through the system these days.
The firecrackers went off for more than an hour.
If someone passed by at this time, they would definitely think it was the summer festival.
During this period, Iida Ayano was so happy that she trembled rapidly from time to time and almost fainted.
Sudden.
Chu Qingfeng roared!
“Miss Iida, this is my signing gift for you, please be sure to accept it!”
“Ah? Thank you…”
The fireworks exploded into the sky with brilliant fireworks.
Creative ideas flooded her mind, and Iida Ayano almost broke down.
She fell limply beside the printer.
Hearing the system prompt, Chu Qingfeng exhaled.
Only then did I remember that I still had to take care of Director Xiao.
Iida Ayano was so numb that she couldn’t stop talking for a moment, and her tears and saliva dripped onto the printer.
Forming a beautiful scenery.
Sheets of colorful A4 paper bounced on the ground.
Ding-ling-ling~~
Chu Qingfeng turned around, picked up the phone and answered the call. It was the landlady calling.
“Sister Lily, what’s going on?”
The printer keeps pumping out paper.
Iida Ayano covered her mouth but still made muffled breathing sounds.
“Hello? Feng Jun, what’s that noise over there?” Mei Baihe asked in confusion.
“Oh, it’s okay. I’ve been working part-time as a fitness coach recently. A student just twisted her foot.” Chu Qingfeng responded lightly and quickened his pace. “Is there anything wrong, Sister Lily?” Chu Qingfeng asked directly without hesitation.
“Yes, it’s like this. Are you coming back today? I want to show you something.”
Mei Baihe’s voice became quieter and quieter, until in the end it was only the sound of a mosquito.
“Haha, okay, I’ll hang up first.” Chu Qingfeng knew that Mei Baihe probably wanted to play with some cosplay costumes again, and he felt a little happy.
Isn’t there going to be another exciting program soon?
The Maxim heavy machine gun’s rotation speed was like pulling the trigger the moment he hung up the phone.
Her opponent, Ayano Iida, was forced to surrender under the fierce attack.
Sobbing echoed in the utility room.
“Great, Feng Jun finally answered the phone.”
“But Feng-jun is working too hard. He even works part-time as a fitness coach. Shouldn’t I give him some help for such a hardworking kid?”
“Hmm…” Mei Baihe held her chin with both hands, a smile on her delicate face, her almond-shaped eyes curved as if she had thought of something, and her breathing became heavy. “Well, just for the sake of his hard work, I won’t charge him rent.”
It was obvious that Mei Baihe had completely surrendered to Chu Qingfeng’s powerful ability, and even the saltpeter snow looked like him.
After checking the time, Mei Baihe skipped to the entrance, picked up her clothes and prepared to change.
She put on her uniform, picked up her briefcase, and slung the violin case over her right shoulder, imitating the lively and cheerful appearance of Miyazono Kaoru who appeared to outsiders as lively and cheerful, and made a gesture in front of the mirror.
“It really looks like it~”
“Will Feng Jun like it? He will definitely like it~”
Mei Baihe smiled mischievously, swung her skirt, then took out the violin and pretended to play it.
Chu Qingfeng came out of Director Xiao’s house and sorted out his clothes.
After letting out a long sigh, he casually handed the contract on the printer to Iida Ayano.
“Miss Iida, please take good care of me from now on. I have something else to do, so I’ll be leaving now. Feel free to call me if you need anything.”
Chu Qingfeng perfectly interprets the role of Diao Wuqing.
“Huff, huff, huff~”
Iida Ayano knelt on the ground with difficulty, holding the contract and bowed solemnly, “Please take care of me in the future.” After saying that, she slowly stood up and went to the bathroom to tidy up her appearance until Chu Qingfeng closed the door.
It was half an hour later when I returned to my workstation.
He sat quietly in his seat, not daring to make any big movements, and was extremely cautious.
He took out his phone and clicked the contract.
Then, she sent the picture to her senior, the editor-in-chief of EVENING magazine.
[Editor-in-Chief, I have already signed Mr. Chu. Please do not let other editors contact him.]Iida Ayano held her forehead and supported herself on the table with both hands, then stood up, placed the contract on the editor-in-chief’s desk, and then took the elevator downstairs.
As soon as she got downstairs, the front desk stopped her.
“Are you the editor of the General Affairs Department?”
“Here is a submission. Could you please sign for it?”
The lady at the front desk handed over a document and asked politely.
“Did they specify who it should be delivered to?”
As Iida Ayano took the manuscript, she asked that if there was a corresponding delivery editor, she would have to submit the manuscript.
After all, it’s their journal’s business.
The receptionist thought about it and realized that the mailing slip didn’t specify which editor it was addressed to. “Uh…it doesn’t say it, so it should be addressed to any editor.”
“By the way, I put the mailing slip in the document bag. It was mailed from overseas.”
“Okay.” After hearing this, Iida Ayano understood.
Coming from overseas, I’m afraid the only one who can do that is that naive person.
Iida Ayano shook her head. Fortunately, it was today, otherwise her authorship might have been snatched away by someone else.
God is fair after all, and her efforts are not in vain.
Iida Ayano was excited in her heart, but her face remained calm. “Okay, thank you. I’ll take it.”
After receiving the manuscript, she expressed her gratitude again and then slowly walked out of the Kodansha door.
The receptionist who watched her leave was a little confused.
She remembered that the editor in front of her was fine when he came in the morning, so why did he walk so strangely now?
But she didn’t think much about it. Maybe she sprained her foot. Anyway, it was none of her business.
Come to the parking lot.
Iida Ayano opened the car door and gently sat in the driver’s seat.
Looking at the name on the file bag——Shiina Mashiro
Muttering to herself, “It really is you, Mashiro-chan.”
She slowly opened the file bag, hoping that Shiina Mashiro would bring a surprise this time.
This way, I won’t be so passive when facing Chu Qingfeng.
……………
Chapter 29 Why does this leg beauty look so familiar? (Old version)
Open the file bag and take out the drawings inside.
What caught my eye was a mailing slip written entirely in English and a small card.
Fortunately, Iida Ayano’s English is not bad, and she can understand what is written above.
“Eh? Is Mashiro-chan coming back?”
“It’s really unexpected, but it’s okay this way. I’ll ask her to meet me when she comes back.”
Iida Ayano looked at the cute little card with words written on it, and her thoughts went back to a year ago.
At that time, she had just become an editor, and the first contracted work she took over was submitted by Shiina Mashiro. Although the style of painting was very good, it lacked story.
Especially the daily life she painted was too bland.
At that time, I also helped her get an internal recommendation for a comic award.
The results are obvious.
I was eliminated in the first round.
Unexpectedly, a year later, the little girl came again.
“I wonder if Mashiro-chan has improved this time. Mashiro-chan, please give me a good work!”
Iida Ayano muttered to herself, mustered up the courage to open the clean drawing and began to look at it.
Ten minutes later.
She slowly put down the drawing, her eyes red, “Mashiro-chan! That’s great! That’s great!”
Three consecutive “That’s great!” Iida Ayano was so excited that she couldn’t express it any more.
Who would have thought that after a year of growth, the rookie cartoonist has reached this point?
Although the story and emotional scenes are still a little lacking, it has improved a lot compared to last year.
Even the draft is quite beautiful.
She had a feeling that this work would be rewarding if it entered the comic award!
Although it can’t compare with Chu Qingfeng’s Lie in April, I still have confidence.
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and contacted the editor-in-chief.
“Editor-in-Chief, I want to recommend another author…”
After explaining the general situation, the editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone agreed.
Then she suddenly asked what Chu Qingfeng looked like.
Do you have any unique personality traits or quirks?
Iida Ayano really wanted to tell the editor-in-chief that Chu Qingfeng did have some little quirks.
For example, I haven’t recovered from the shock of setting off firecrackers just now, but is it worth dwelling on such things?
“Well…….”
Iida Ayano’s mind raced as she pursed her lips and replied, “He’s very handsome, tall, and very tough…”
She really does speak the truth, and it’s not just that she has a strong personality.
Hearing this answer, the editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone hummed, paused for a few seconds and said, “I plan to hold April Lies back from next month’s issue until August.” The time in between can be used to market the gimmick of the handsome, tall and talented cartoonist and accumulate popularity for April Lies.
“If April Lies wins a prize at the Manga Awards, or even takes home the Grand Prize, Chu Qingfeng will be our EVENING magazine’s hope for a comeback!”
“Even if he doesn’t win the award, the popularity he’s accumulated over this month will give him a fan base, which can help us boost August sales. That way, the editor-in-chief will have something to report to the president.”
“Then…will the EVENING magazine be kept?” Iida Ayano couldn’t help but ask after hearing this.
The editor-in-chief sighed after a long pause on the phone, “Everything depends on human effort. Ayano-chan, please handle this matter well. I believe the president will see our efforts.”
“As for support from the IP Division, I’m afraid you, the Editor-in-Chief, will need to figure out a way.”
“Well…you don’t have to worry about these. You just need to follow up with Chu Qingfeng. I will take care of the other external publicity matters. Whether EVENING can survive depends entirely on the sales in the next quarter.” The editor-in-chief’s voice was very serious. She was reluctant to leave EVENING. After all, she was still the editor-in-chief here, and she had the final say in this world.
However, EVENING is on indefinite hiatus. If there is no new journal for her to take over, she can only become an editor of other journals, at most an associate editor-in-chief.
But after enjoying the feeling of being the boss, how could she be willing to give up the position of editor-in-chief?
After hanging up the phone, Iida Ayano felt bad.
But this is the reality. If you don’t want to be eliminated, you have to give everything you have.
Every year, Talk About Society requires its four major editorial departments to each recommend 20 outstanding works for the competition, for a total of 100 candidate comics.
These works will be rigorously reviewed by seven authoritative judges in the industry, and only 10 will be shortlisted for the comic award and receive rewards.
The newly added “Best Award” selection this year is even more stringent.
The judges will screen again from these 10 winning works, and only one will reach the top in the end.
Moreover, the entire selection process is decided independently by the judges, and Kodansha cannot interfere.
“Come on, Iida Ayano!”
Iida Ayano muttered to herself. Although she felt a little repulsed by Chu Qingfeng in her heart, she was still full of expectations for his Lie in April.
After all, this is about her career.
It was already five o’clock when I walked out of the Kodansha building.
The afterglow of the setting sun casts a golden hue on the streets of Tokyo.
Chu Qingfeng’s shadow stretched very long behind him.
After rubbing his empty stomach, he casually turned into a fast food restaurant called Yoshinoya on the side of the road.
“The world is big, but eating is the biggest.”
This saying, which is often said in my hometown, is particularly appropriate at this moment.
He could have gone back to cook for himself, but when he thought of the phone call from Mei Baihe, how could he still go back to cook?
Obviously not possible.
What’s more, after the heated debate at Kodansha today, he is in urgent need of energy and protein.
At this time, a large bowl of beef donburi with a hot spring egg is definitely the best choice!
After ordering the meal, Chu Qingfeng found a seat by the window and sat down.
After a while, the food was served.
The wind rolls and entangles the clouds.
After dinner, he chatted with Matsumae Oka and Xiao Tianyou for a while, then slowly walked back to the apartment.
Go west along Toshima Street.
Fortunately, Toshima Ward and Nerima Ward both belong to the northern part of the city, and the two districts are adjacent to each other, so the distance between them is not far.
Walk to the border of Nerima Ward, stroll along the long embankment next to the railway, and head towards the apartment.
The system prompt sound kept coming from my mind.
It has always inspired Chu Qingfeng to keep going.
As the sun sets, I look out at the Seibu Railway beyond the embankment.
The railroad tracks seemed to have been carefully measured by a giant, extending forward from the middle of the densely packed houses. The two rails were polished to a shiny finish, and emitted a dazzling light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Keep walking along the railway track, turn over a stone bridge, cross the intersection and climb a slope, and half an hour will have passed.
The sky gradually became gloomy, and several thick dark clouds floated in the sky.
It looks like it’s going to rain soon.
Passing by a women’s high school, I saw some female college students who were still attending classes on Saturday.
He took a casual glance and caught the attention of the girl who was in her prime.
“Look, is that tall and handsome guy looking at me?”
“No, Ai-chan, you’re seeing things. They’re clearly looking at me.”
“I just think he’s so handsome.”
“Youcai-chan, go get his contact information.”
“Ah? Should I go? If you want, why don’t you go by yourself?”
“Then let’s play rock-paper-scissors, okay? Hurry up, hurry up, or the handsome guy will leave if you’re any slower.”
Several female college students were chatting and playing together, and finally the girl called Youcaijiang ran towards Chu Qingfeng with her head lowered.
It was obvious that she lost the game of rock-paper-scissors.
The girl trotted up to Chu Qingfeng and stopped him with a red face.
Chu Qingfeng was startled by the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Look up.
What came into view was a tall figure.
He is about 1.65 meters tall and looks particularly slender because of his perfect body proportions.
She was wearing a red polo-neck dress, the warm color made her skin look as white as snow, and a shoulder bag of the same color was slung across her shoulder. She exuded the agility and vigor unique to youth.
Eyes wandering.
Under the skirt, a pair of straight and well-proportioned legs are particularly eye-catching, with skin as smooth as jade and smooth lines.
Every inch of the curve from the ankle to the thigh is just right, revealing vigorous vitality.
To describe it as legs from the neck down seems so pale and weak.
Chu Qingfeng secretly estimated that the length of these legs was probably at least one meter.
Further up, the girl with a high ponytail was smiling at him.
Her facial features are extremely beautiful and matched perfectly.
The pair of almond-shaped eyes on her pretty face curved into crescents, and her beautiful eyes were clear and bright, as if there were stars flowing in them.
The corners of her pink lips are slightly raised under her straight nose, revealing two cute dimples, so sweet that one can’t take their eyes off her.
The girl stood in front of Chu Qingfeng, holding her bag tightly in both hands, and asked carefully.
“that…….”
“Hello, although it’s very rude, can I add your contact information?”
“Contact information? Why?”
Chu Qingfeng knew that he was handsome.
But you wouldn’t let a girl add your contact information for no reason, right?
“Yes, it’s because I lost the game of rock-paper-scissors with my friend, so…” The girl lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, but it could still be clearly heard by Chu Qingfeng.
Looking at the girl, Chu Qingfeng took over the conversation, “So you were asked to add my contact information, right?”
“Oh~ You can add my contact information, but can you tell me your name?” Chu Qingfeng felt that the leg beauty looked familiar, like an old acquaintance, from the first moment he saw her.
But having watched countless movies, he couldn’t remember who this person was for a moment.
I had to take the opportunity when someone asked for their contact information to ask for their name, maybe I could still remember it.
“My name is Xing Youcai, please give me your guidance.”
The girl blushed and bowed formally to greet him.
The moment Chu Qingfeng heard the name, his eyes lit up.
It was very similar to the name of an old friend he knew.
“My name is Chu Qingfeng, nice to meet you.” Chu Qingfeng still did not bow, but maintained the habit of shaking hands with people as a salesperson on Earth.
The girl looked up and saw Chu Qingfeng’s slender hand, quickly straightened her waist and held his hand.
“Mr. Chu, then…can you give me your contact information now?”
P.S.: Are any readers reading this? More and more characters are about to appear, please give me some free gifts.
Chapter 30 How to play the role of Miyazono Kaoru? (Old version)
Chu Qingfeng responded with a smile.
“Well, thank you.” Xing Youna breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Chu Qingfeng’s rejection of her in her mind did not come true.
Otherwise she really didn’t know how to end it.
After that, the two picked up their phones and added LINE.
“Well, thank you~”
Xing Youcai bowed again to express her gratitude, then skipped away like a little girl who had gotten a favorite toy.
The high ponytail followed her jumping, drawing graceful arcs up and down, which was very lively.
The hem of her red skirt rose slightly with her light steps, like a blooming rose, making her particularly dazzling in the crowd.
Looking at the receding figure, Chu Qingfeng unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.
He didn’t look away until Xing Youcai disappeared around the corner.
I looked down at the newly added contact on my phone – “Xing Youcai”.
The avatar is a white Shiba Inu with squinting eyes and a smile.
He tapped the screen, casually said hello and continued walking home.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to talk, but this kind of thing can’t be rushed.
He was so impatient before we even said a few words when we met for the first time.
We’ll have to chat for a few days.
At least you should know the other person’s background, and most importantly, their love history.
Chu Qingfeng put away his phone and continued walking back.
When Xing Youcai returned to her classmates, her face turned red and her heart was pounding, but her face looked sad and even a little lost.
“Youcai-chan, did you get the contact information?” As soon as Xing Youcai returned to the crowd, a classmate asked excitedly.
Then she was surrounded, and her ears were filled with all kinds of questions.
Some asked Chu Qingfeng’s name, some asked if Chu Qingfeng had a good voice, and some asked what it felt like to see a handsome guy up close.
But the most frequently asked question was whether they had obtained Chu Qingfeng’s contact information.
Xing Youcai pretended to be sad, pouted her lips and shook her head angrily, “That gentleman didn’t give it to me. Really, he is too self-righteous.”
“Huh? He didn’t give it to Youcai-chan. Oh my god, is that man crazy? Our Youcai-chan is so cute, and he didn’t give it to her.”
“Yeah, he’s such a weird guy. He doesn’t even give out his contact information when a girl like Youcai-chan approaches him. Isn’t that too conservative?”
Everyone was surprised.
Xing Youcai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone believed her.
She would never admit that she had obtained the contact information.
Please!
Of course the handsome guy wants it all to himself, how could he share it with others?
Xing Youcai lowered her head, resisting the urge to raise the corners of her mouth, but her heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey.
“Alright, alright, don’t be sad, Youcai-chan!” Her friend seemed to notice Xing Youcai’s embarrassment and patted her shoulder, changing the subject. “It’s better not to have a man like that who doesn’t understand romance! There are so many handsome guys in our school. I’ll introduce you to a better one at the next social!”
“Well… let’s not do it. We are about to graduate and should focus on our studies.” Xing Youcai pretended to be disappointed but rejected her best friend, but secretly made a face in her heart.
She didn’t care about any social gatherings. Her mind was now filled with the image of Chu Qingfeng smiling.
My friend looked thoughtful after hearing this.
Indeed, Xing Youcai, as a representative of both good character and good academic performance, has always been regarded as my role model.
“Then let’s shine brightly during graduation season!”
At this moment, the lead-gray clouds that had been accumulating in the sky for a long time suddenly surged up.
Accompanied by a rumble of thunder, bean-sized raindrops began to fall cracklingly.
At first, just a few scattered drops spread on the dry road.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into an impenetrable rain curtain.
Everyone fled home holding their schoolbags or holding umbrellas.
On the other side, Chu Qingfeng also became a drowned chicken.
When I walked downstairs to the apartment building, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.
【Xingyoucai】sent a new message:
“Thank you so much for today! (???)”
Following it is an emoticon of a little Shiba Inu wagging its tail.
He smiled and gave a simple reply before hurrying home. He still knew the common sense of taking a shower after getting caught in the rain.
Crunch—
There was a sound of a key turning the door lock, and then the door opened.
Chu Qingfeng hurriedly took off his T-shirt, which had long been soaked through, revealing his clearly visible abdominal muscles.
Then he quickly took off his shoes and ran to the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of running water was heard in the bathroom.
now.
Mei Baihe had just finished clearing the dishes and was about to study the violin when she heard the sound of a door closing upstairs and ran out.
Porcelain-white bare feet clattered down the corridor, and she stood on tiptoe, holding onto the railing and looking up.
When she saw the warm light she had been longing for coming out of the third-floor window, her beautiful eyes lit up instantly.
Then he turned and ran back into the room.
She changed into the same uniform as Miyazono Kaoru, put on knee-high socks, carried a violin on her back, and wore small leather shoes.
Before leaving, she took her landlord’s special key and ran to Chu Qingfeng’s apartment.
With a click, the door was pushed open a crack.
The whitening hairdo was inserted into half of the head, and the golden wig slipped from the shoulders.
“Feng Jun, I’m coming in~”
She called out softly, probably a voice only she could hear.
Then she just walked into the room and closed the door.
The frosted glass in the bathroom was covered with mist, and a slender figure swaying inside could be vaguely seen.
Mei Baihe tiptoed to the door and pressed her back against the wall.
The humid air is filled with the citrus scent of shower gel mixed with the unique scent of hormones.
She couldn’t help but think of the madness of the past period, and she couldn’t help but clamp the violin case tightly.
“Hmph! This is your punishment for not coming home and ignoring me for two days~”
Mei Baihe was thinking in her heart, and the scene of Chu Qingfeng being frightened by her when he opened the door appeared in her mind.
Suddenly, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Mei Baihe held her breath, her petite body pressed tightly against the wall, her eyes fixed on the door handle.
As soon as the other party comes out.
She immediately jumped in front of Chu Qingfeng and scared him severely.
………………..
Chapter 31: Miyuri’s Violin Performance (Old Version)
After a while.
The doorknob turned, and with a whoosh, the door opened.
Then a very strong young man with a bath towel around his waist and a towel in his hand to wipe his hair came out.
Whitening without any hesitation.
With a cry of——!!!
Jumped out from the side.
Chu Qingfeng suddenly saw a black shadow jumping towards him.
Instinctively, he hugged the dark shadow horizontally.
“well???!”
“Where am I and what am I doing?”
Being carried by a princess made her beautiful and her head empty.
I was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, she forgot what she was doing.
He just stared at Chu Qingfeng, whose upper body was naked.
Then a hot voice passed through the ear.
“Sister Lily, why are you pretending to be Miyazono Kaoru?”
“Are you going to give me a concert?”
“this…….”
“No, that’s not it…”
Mei Baihe gently hooked Chu Qingfeng’s neck, her eyes full of grievance.
The she-girl look from before was gone.
Curled up in Chu Qingfeng’s arms, her golden wig was a little messy, with a few strands of hair sticking to the corners of her slightly red eyes.
Unconsciously pulling the hair on the back of Chu Qingfeng’s neck.
Chu Qingfeng looked down at the lovely and energetic landlady who even wore colored contact lenses to play the role of Miyazono Kaoru well.
“So you missed me?”
The frivolous and flirtatious words were coupled with Chu Qingfeng’s handsome face.
The success made Mei Baihe blush and squirm, and the jailer wrapped in socks dug inside.
“No…no.”
She said that, but her head was almost down to her collar.
Mei Baihe held the violin case in her little hands and kept scratching at it. She didn’t dare to look at anyone at all. It seemed that the only thing in her eyes was the violin case.
Chu Qingfeng smiled. Could it be that this landlady in front of him was completely dependent on him?
This look is exactly what a shy girl would look like when she meets someone she likes.
Chu Qingfeng touched the woman’s little head, who only had the violin case in her eyes.
He chuckled and said, “This wig is of pretty good quality, just like the real thing.”
“Hmph~ Of course, I bought all this for you…”
Mei Baihe was enjoying his head pat, and she felt dizzy and blurted out what was in her heart.
“The best…” Mei Baihe was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed her words. “Also, it’s also to be able to play the role of Xiaoxun well.” She lowered her head, not daring to look Chu Qingfeng in the eye.
Even the white ears turned red and felt slightly hot.
Then she swallowed, her voice as thin as a mosquito’s as she seemed to mutter to herself: “You probably didn’t hear it, right?”
“Haha, I heard everything.”
“They prepared everything just to see me. I heard that very clearly.”
Chu Qingfeng raised the corner of his mouth, holding the petite and beautiful Bai He horizontally, and walked towards the living room, his hands moving around a little dishonestly along the way.
“Hmm~ Feng Jun, you… don’t you still want to watch the show?”
“I can actually play the violin a little bit.”
Mei Baihe shook the violin case in her hand. She did know how to play the violin, but she had just learned it in the afternoon.
“It’s okay, it’s okay to watch you perform later~”
Although Mei Baihe was shy this time, she did not stop those hands from wandering around.
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“Hmm~~!!”
The sound was so quiet that only Chu Qingfeng could hear it.
After agreeing, he raised the corners of his mouth high, leaned his head back on the sofa, and thought about life.
After a long time, the sound of the game came from the room: starting from the first sprout of life underwater…
Then.
Then, the game begins.
When I woke up again, it was already early morning the next day.
Although today is the weekend, Chu Qingfeng still has to go to work.
Chu Qingfeng checked the 4 points of proficiency prompted by the system and got up with satisfaction.
Maybe he felt the sound of the person next to him getting up.
Mei Baihe opened her beautiful eyes with difficulty and looked at Chu Qingfeng with a smile: “Mr. Feng, good morning.”
“I should have told you this yesterday, but I forgot. I want you to live in this house for free.”
Mei Baihe held Chu Qingfeng’s handsome cheek with her small hands, and said with an unconcealable heartache, “Don’t work as a part-time fitness coach anymore. You will tire yourself out.”
She paused and then said, “I can support you too.”
The words were so soft that they were almost inaudible.
The tips of her ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the neck was dyed with a light pink.
Then she let go of Chu Qingfeng’s neck, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, and took out a card from her pocket.
Her blushing face was filled with indescribable moisture in her beautiful eyes.
“This is my supplementary bank card. You can use it as you please. I just want you to stay with me.”
Mei Lily looked at Chu Qingfeng expectantly, waiting for his response.
Chu Qingfeng glanced at the bank card handed over by Mei Baihe without caring, and said seriously:
“Are you teaching me how to do things?”
“No, no, I…I don’t want you to be so tired. I have money, millions.”
ps: Dear readers, please give me some free data, please.
I’m really begging you, flowers, review votes, anything. Please, please! I’m just wishing you great luck and prosperity, and flowers will be loved by everyone. It would be even better if you had monthly votes, give them all to me~~ Please.
Chapter 32: Could He Be Infected? (Old Version)
“Millions of yen? Lily, you didn’t hit your head last night, did you?”
Chu Qingfeng showed a black question mark face. Is this a lot?
A few million yen is equivalent to an elite’s monthly salary, or even half a month’s salary.
“No, no, it’s Miko…”
“Wait, what did you say? Meizi?!” Chu Qingfeng seemed to not believe his ears, and he asked again.
Mei Lily snorted coldly, and her proud look seemed to say: Of course!
Chu Qingfeng’s eyes twitched, and then he took Mei Baihe’s bank card very naturally.
If you ask someone to give you something, can he refuse to accept it?
He still had to go to class. If Mei Lily had given it to him before that girl named Dong Yuexiu came, he would have done it without hesitation.
He must teach that ignorant Dong Yuexiu a lesson.
Of course, Nakaizumi Yui can’t be let off either, they’re all accomplices! They must be severely punished!
“Sister Lily, I know you’re good to me, but I still have to go to work. This is about a man’s dignity, and I don’t want to be treated as a gigolo.”
“However, if I use this money, it will be considered as a loan from you. I will return it to you when I have money.”
You have to take the money, but it is impossible to control personal freedom.
Since Chu Qingfeng wants the money anyway, he will just keep it. He won’t say anything if you don’t give it to him.
The main goal is to be invincible.
Mei Baihe looked at the man in front of her with complicated eyes. She hesitated for a long time and finally said nothing. She just nodded and said, “Then can you spend more time with me when you have time.” Mei Baihe held Chu Qingfeng’s hand with affection.
“It depends on the situation. I have to go to work now.”
“Please clean up when you go back.”
Chu Qingfeng did not agree. If he really agreed to such a thing, wouldn’t he become a gigolo?
He wants to eat the free meal!
After tidying up his clothes, Chu Qingfeng put on his shoes and left.
The meticulous Mei Lily was left sitting cross-legged on the bed, her cheeks puffed out, not knowing what she was thinking.
Early in the morning at 6 o’clock the sky was a little dark, and there was wind on the road, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
I jogged all the way to the convenience store and the daily work day began again.
While at work, I intentionally or unintentionally asked my colleagues whether the Dong Yue and her sister would come to work today.
After learning from his colleagues that the two sisters would not come to work until tomorrow night, Chu Qingfeng did not ask any more questions.
Tomorrow, then wait until tomorrow to give them a good beating.
He remembered that in the original plot, Dong Yuexuan had secretly stolen goods, and he wondered if he would have the chance to encounter her now.
It’s best not to let him get hold of anything, otherwise Dong Yuexuan will definitely know what cruelty is!
After finishing work, Chu Qingfeng changed out of his work clothes and punched out.
As soon as I walked out the door and picked up my phone, I saw a new message from Matsumae Oka.
[Feng Jun, could it be that I am pregnant? ]Seeing this message, Chu Qingfeng was slightly stunned.
Xicui Manor.
Oka Matsumae was wearing an orange yukata and white tabi shoes. She leaned forward 90 degrees and pressed her cheek tightly against the low table.
The cell phone Chu Qingfeng gave her was placed casually on the table, but the screen was covered.
She was listless and calculated the time, saying that today should be the time for her period.
But there was no movement in my stomach, and I didn’t even feel a bit of pain.
I said before that I would treat that night as a dream, but now it has been two days since I left Tokyo. Whenever I close my eyes, all I can see in my mind is the majestic figure of Chu Qingfeng.
“It’s all that guy’s fault. What should I do…”
Oka Matsumae took a deep breath, her cheek pressed against the table, pale and expressionless.
“Ouka-chan~”
“What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”
While cleaning with a towel, Nako Oshimizu discovered that Oka Matsumae, who had been lying alone on the coffee table, had been listless for two days.
This made her, as a friend, worried.
“Ah…no…no, I, I didn’t…” Matsumae Oka originally wanted to find a random excuse to be alone for a while, after all, how could she have the nerve to ask others about such things.
But he changed his mind the next second, sat up straight, and asked seriously and sincerely:
“Cai Cai, I have a friend who was wondering if that thing would have life if it stayed there?”
Matsumae Oka made friends out of nothing.
In fact, this friend is herself, but she feels too embarrassed and uses her friend’s name as a shield.
“ah????”
Oshimizu Nako, who is usually gentle and introverted, was completely in a state of inactivity when she heard this piece of knowledge that she would only listen to with a blushing face in class.
His face was suddenly dyed red, the color was redder than a ripe apple.
“O-Oka-chan……”
“Who is that friend you’re talking about?”
“How can I ask someone about something like this… Seriously.”
It took Oshimizu Nako a long time before she could stammer out her thoughts.
At this time, a girl in a light blue chef’s uniform was lying on the edge of the sliding door and looking at the two blushing girls in the room.
“Maodan (a special name for Ouka), Nana, what are you talking about? Is it something embarrassing?”
“Why are you all blushing?”
Tsurumi Minko walked in and asked curiously.
When Oshimizu Nako saw someone coming, she immediately hid behind Tsuruai Tamiko and whispered, “Tamiko, there’s something wrong with Ouka-chan. She…she actually…asked the baby about that kind of thing…” Oshimizu Nako’s voice became even lower as she spoke.
But it was still heard by the sharp-eared Tsuru Lai Minzi.
“Huh?”
“Maodan, you woman, could it be that you are…”
The clever Tsuru Lai Minzi understood immediately and her face was filled with surprise.
She wondered why Maodan had been so listless these past two days, and at first she thought it was because of that thing.
But now that question is asked again.
Could it be that…she went to Tokyo once and…
“No, no, Caicai, I’m talking about a friend…”
Matsumae Oka vehemently denied it and she didn’t want to ask.
But I only have these two good friends in the villa. If I don’t tell Yuanzi, who else can I go to?
Should I look for the boss lady or her unreliable mother?
“Maodan, tell me the truth.”
“What happened the night you lost your phone? Did you do it for money and…”
He Laiminzi is more daring.
How could someone ask such a question for no reason? Even if she lied and said she was asking for a friend, she would not believe it.
“No, no.”
“Minzi, please stop guessing.”
“I, I just saw the news online and just asked casually.”
Oka Matsumae pouted her lips, puffed out her cheeks, and her tone suddenly became tough, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
After being told so firmly by Matsumae Oka, Tsururai Tamiko and Oshimizu Nako were slightly stunned.
“Maodan, didn’t we learn this in physiology class at school?”
“Besides, this kind of thing has a probability. If your friend is really worried, he can go to the pharmacy…” Tsuru Lai Minzi was too embarrassed to continue speaking at the end. After all, she was still a pure girl and didn’t understand those things.
Of course, Matsumae Oka knew this knowledge.
but…….
I really don’t dare to go to the pharmacy on the street to buy that thing secretly.
If she is recognized, how can she survive?
“Then, what are the chances of this happening?”
Tsurulai Minzi and Oshimizu Nako were still fledglings after all, and they were immediately ashamed.
They have never experienced it, so how do they know the probability?
Chapter 33: Cafe in Yokocho. (Old version)
People who are into comics in various manga genres start by dealing with the landlord: Chapter 33: The Coffee Bar in Yokocho.
Chu Qingfeng, who had just walked out of the convenience store, frowned unconsciously.
He knew he was strong, but not so strong that he could always hit the target.
He is not a sharpshooter. Even an experienced shooter will inevitably miss the target when shooting.
Although his gun muzzle is half as close to the target as an ordinary person, the probability of hitting the center of the target is indeed higher.
But the situation at that time… He remembered it very clearly. Most of the bullets were blocked and deflected by the water curtain of the fountain.
Logically speaking, the probability of actually hitting the target should be even lower.
“Did I really win?” He whispered to himself, with a rare hint of hesitation in his eyes.
After saying that, he replied to the message.
【Let me take you to see it. 】
Soon, Matsumae Oka replied, “It should be fine. Just wait a little longer. The internet says that if it doesn’t come after seven days, then…”
She didn’t finish the rest of the sentence.
It’s great that a young girl can say so much.
Chu Qingfeng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, because there were also cases of delay due to endocrine disorders.
If your period hasn’t come after 7 days, you need to go to the hospital.
He had also seen this process online.
Not only do you need an injection, but you also need a blood test.
It’s very troublesome anyway.
When Chu Qingfeng thought of this, a trace of guilt arose in his heart.
It was also his fault that he wanted to experience the yellow-haired girl so much. After saying that, he comforted her a few more words and finally gave Matsumae Ou some money.
The conversation ended when I asked her to buy the testing tools.
Putting away his phone, Chu Qingfeng felt that this was indeed a problem, but having to bring a raincoat really took away the fun of getting wet in the rain.
“It seems I need to always have some medicine on hand.”
Chu Qingfeng said as he walked towards the nearest pharmacy.
Coming out of the pharmacy again, Chu Qingfeng was on his way back.
The dark sky grew even darker.
The wind howled violently.
Chu Qingfeng lowered his head to resist the strong wind.
He walked quickly through the nearest underground passage, like a lone wolf entering a huge black cave.
After walking out of the underground passage, the rain finally started and Chu Qingfeng hid in the alley near the passage.
He has been walking along this street connected by this underground passage for more than a month.
But this is my first time visiting this Yokocho next door.
After all, this is not the way home.
The rain was falling softly, landing in the alleys.
Chu Qingfeng was hiding from the rain in front of a coffee bar in Yokocho.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, the street lights on both sides of Yokomachi lit up one after another.
Chu Qingfeng stood under the eaves to avoid the rain, and the damp cold seeped into his collar.
Looking back towards the main street, the rain curtain was like a veil, covering the entire street in a hazy mist. The buses, with dim lights on, were rushing around in the crowded streets like migrating salmon, braking suddenly from time to time and splashing water half a meter high.
An old man walked slowly by holding an umbrella and leaning on a crutch.
Behind them were several students carrying backpacks, running wildly in the rain.
A folk song that Chu Qingfeng couldn’t understand came from a small ramen shop not far away.
Everything was so peaceful and boring, but it brought back the deepest memories in his heart.
That was when he was a child, running around the countryside, turning over rocks by the stream looking for crabs.
The softness in my heart was infinitely magnified, and suddenly I felt a sense of sadness of leaving my hometown.
“Little brother, do you need help?”
Suddenly, a soft and caring voice sounded beside him, carrying an irresistible warmth.
Chu Qingfeng, who was squatting at the door of the coffee bar and looking at the street scene in the rain, turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
What caught my eye was a pair of black high heels with red soles.
The luminous upper with water droplets reflects a different scenery.
Looking up, a pair of slender and well-proportioned calves came into view, and the skin was as delicate and smooth as white porcelain.
Tiny drops of water rolled down the curve of the calf.
Further up, a pair of denim hot pants that were obviously one size too small were struggling to wrap around her plump thighs.
The tight fabric dug deep into the plump thigh flesh, leaving several tempting red marks on the snow-white skin.
The soft and tender flesh unwillingly overflowed from the edge of the trouser leg, trembling slightly with the owner’s subtle movements, emitting a healthy luster in the air.
Chu Qingfeng didn’t know how to describe it, but in two words –
Excited!
At this moment, he wanted to be an accountant, keeping accounts every day and having a leisurely life.
Looking up again, I saw a dark blue V-neck T-shirt that was arched high, which could be described vividly in one sentence.
Only those who are tolerant can be great!
As the sight passed over the rolling hills, a porcelain-white, delicate face came into view. Long lavender hair fell like a waterfall, and two disobedient strands of hair slid down along the curve of the shoulders and neck, just outlining the proud bust line. Under the pull of gravity, it naturally fell along the baby canteen, casting a faint shadow on the snow-white skin, which made the already proud curves even more fuller.
Toba Yurika?
Chu Qingfeng was a little bit unconvinced when he saw this face, but he turned his head to look at the sign above his head – Pearl Coffee Bar.
Chu Qingfeng was a little surprised.
I didn’t expect that there was such a familiar store hidden in Yokomachi Street where I just took shelter from the rain.
Pearl Coffee Bar.
It sells coffee during the day and is a bar-cum-coffee bar at night.
There are two bosses, both young women.
One owner runs a coffee shop during the day, and the other runs a bar at night.
The person standing in front of me is the owner of the bar at night – Yurika Nyoha.
There are two business models. The Pearl Coffee Bar is decorated very trendily, combining the literary style of a coffee shop with the neon lights of a bar.
Yes, he needs help so badly.
Especially need the help of Rong.
I’ve been eating only lean meat these days, and I finally came across a piece of pork belly.
He wanted it so badly.
But he didn’t say these words.
He remembered that the character of Yurika Nyoha required favorability.
But she is also obsessed with looks and has a natural liking for good-looking people.
Niaoyu Yurika asked this question, but Chu Qingfeng still squatted on the ground without responding.
Seeing him hesitate, the woman bent over, the edge of her shorts digging into her thighs. She pushed the door open, causing the bell to ring. “Come in and sit down.”
When she opened the door, the crisp sound of the wind chimes woke Chu Qingfeng up.
He deliberately staggered when he stood up. Niaoyu Yurika reached out to hold his arm, and the warmth of her palm came through the wet shirt. Chu Qingfeng lowered his eyes to hide his triumphant smile: “Okay, sorry to bother you then.”
ps: Please give me some free gifts, dear readers.
Chapter 34: Datuner helps the decadent younger generation cheer up (old version)
People in Zongman Live Comics, Start by Dealing with the Landlord: Chapter 34 Datuner Helps the Depressed Younger to Cheer Up
While supporting Chu Qingfeng, Niaoyu Yurika looked him over a few times.
He is very tall, at least 1.8 meters tall. He looks thin, but feels quite strong!
But his hair was a little messy and there was a hint of sadness in his expression.
He looked just like the down-and-out people she usually saw.
The only difference is that the young man in front of him is much stronger than those poor people who are either thin or pot-bellied.
Walk into the store.
There were few people in the store, with only one table of customers in the corner.
Apparently, the coffee bar’s business isn’t very good during the day.
Following the woman through the customer area, they arrived at a wooden bar. Chu Qingfeng knew that this should be the bartender’s bar.
Just arrived at the bar area.
Chu Qingfeng was attracted by a wall that read: Best ranking of our store, must-see works. It was very conspicuous in the entire bar.
There are even special spotlights for lighting it.
There are dozens of comic books on the wall.
Chu Qingfeng was a little confused. He remembered that there was no such wall in the original plot.
But he soon realized that the changes were probably caused by himself, the butterfly flapping its wings.
“Yurika, you’re here!”
At this time, a woman wearing a maid outfit and white stockings came up and greeted Yurika Nyoha with a smile.
She has an average appearance, which does not bring out the charm of the maid Bai Si at all.
No wonder the coffee bar’s business is bad during the day. It turns out that the waiters are all so ugly, how can it be good?
The coffee industry is also very competitive in this world, especially in this country.
Various coffee shops are emerging one after another, and the trendy combination of coffee bars is also an innovation.
But innovation is innovation, and the two completely different business models attract different customer groups.
In addition, it is difficult for the waiters to make a name for themselves in the red ocean coffee market if they are all of this kind.
“Good evening, Mona-chan. It’s almost time for me to open. It’s time to come.”
Yurika Nyoha greeted the woman in white maid stockings with a smile.
The woman called Mona-chan nodded and looked at Chu Qingfeng with expectation in her eyes: “Would this guest like a cup of coffee?”
Of course she has expectations.
The business during the day is simply terrible.
“I picked him up at the door. He must have encountered some difficulties.” Nyoha Yurika pulled the woman over and whispered.
“I see. I thought he was my guest.”
“Well, it’s time for me to get off work. I’ll leave the coffee bar to you. Bye~”
The woman in maid uniform greeted with a smile, nodded to Chu Qingfeng, and turned to leave.
“She’s the owner of the coffee bar and also my partner. We founded the coffee bar together.”
Niaoyu Yurika asked Chu Qingfeng to sit down and introduced the woman to him.
Chu Qingfeng nodded. He had no interest in that woman, no matter who she was.
Irrelevant.
“I’m going to change my clothes first, you sit here for a while.”
Chu Qingfeng nodded, then sat down at the counter, continuing to look at the comics on the wall.
Look at it from his perspective.
Apart from the three major migrant workers comics, those comics were some comics he didn’t recognize.
I think these comics were created by the natives of this world. Looking at the rankings on the wall, Chu Qingfeng suddenly felt emotional.
Cartoonists in this world are also divided into different levels.
There are great players, top players, middle-level players, bottom-level players, and also those who are stuck in the signing stage and unable to get started.
The annual income of great masters and top cartoonists can reach hundreds of millions or even billions of yen.
But this type of writer is always one in a hundred thousand.
As for mid-level cartoonists, their annual income is also a considerable amount.
Although I am not as good as the top or the great, it is definitely no problem for me to support my family and live a comfortable life.
However, there are more low-level cartoonists whose salaries are so low that they are even lower than those of black slaves. They work purely for love.
“Do you read comics too?”
Just when Chu Qingfeng was in a daze, a voice came into his ears.
Turning around, I saw the woman who was just called partner.
At this moment, she changed into casual clothes and looked very ordinary, the kind that you would not be able to find in a crowd.
Chu Qingfeng nodded.
Seeing that the man in front of her didn’t answer her, the woman suddenly felt emotional.
“This store has been able to survive until now thanks to Yurika. If it weren’t for this wall, I’m afraid we would have closed down long ago.”
“Detailed.”
Chu Qingfeng was intrigued by the woman’s sigh. What was this event that was out of touch with the plot?
He was indeed curious.
The woman smiled secretly when she saw that the man’s curiosity was aroused. Ha, this man is really interested in comics.
But she was still very happy to be able to talk to such a handsome guy.
“This story started two years ago…”
The woman talked for ten minutes before Chu Qingfeng finally understood what was going on with this comic wall that was not in the original plot.
turn out to be.
She came to Nerima Ward two years ago and opened this cafe.
At the beginning, we attracted a lot of customers because we hired a few cute girls, but after the novelty wore off, the number of customers gradually decreased.
The cafe began to run out of money, and she fired the cute girls one by one, until she finally had to post a notice of transfer.
Not long after the notice was posted, Yurika Nyoha arrived, and they renovated the building and opened this coffee bar that serves coffee during the day and alcohol at night.
The trendy decoration and affordable prices, coupled with Yurika Nyoha’s love for reading comics, have led her to design a comic ranking list in the store.
It gradually attracted many cartoonists to gather here, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a cartoonist bar at night.
Yurika is lively and smart, and very gentle. She often helps some low-level cartoonists.
“So she just treated me like a downtrodden person?”
Chu Qingfeng finally reacted.
Since you are here.
Just treat it as being down and out. After all, I’ve come into contact with Yurika Nyoha, right?
I just had the chance to eat some pork belly.
Now that you know the other party’s purpose, you might as well take advantage of the situation and perhaps leave a deep impression.
This made him think of the down-and-out people and the intimate elder sisters in many plots, and xx-jun who hoped that this method could make you strong or use Datun to help the decadent younger generations to cheer up.
Um…..
Very unpopular! Just act like this!
Thinking of this, Chu Qingfeng almost laughed out loud.
“What are you talking about?”
At this time, Yurika Nyoha’s voice was heard.
The woman who had been talking to Chu Qingfeng replied, “Ah~ I’m just telling you about our entrepreneurial story~ and helping you greet the guests~”
“Now that you’re out, I’ll be leaving. I’ll see you tomorrow, Yurika.”
“See you next time, handsome boy~”
After greeting everyone one by one.
Finally.
The woman even cast a coquettish glance at Chu Qingfeng.
The meaning is self-evident.
Chu Qingfeng’s mouth twitched slightly, saying, “Sorry, ugly rejection!”
Then his gaze returned to Yurika Nyoha.
Since the other party thinks of me as a down-and-out person, I have to act like one well.
I hope I can perform better later, and it would be best if Nyoha Yurika can give me some reward!!
…………….
Chapter 35 I Can’t Find the Way Home (Old Version)
Watching the partner leave.
Yurika Nyoha’s gaze returned to the handsome young man sitting at the bar.
“Little brother, would you like something to drink?”
Chu Qingfeng did not answer immediately, but just looked at him.
At this moment, she has changed out of her casual hot pants and T-shirt and put on a bartender uniform.
The black suit vest outlines the slender waistline, the collar of the snow-white shirt is slightly open, and the women’s trousers wrap the curves that make people unable to take their eyes off.
Although professional, it is difficult to hide her graceful and plump figure.
The most eye-catching thing is her long legs.
Even though it is covered by straight-leg trousers, the full muscle lines can still be seen.
As she adjusted her stance, it seemed as if the black fabric would tear apart in the next second.
“Young man?” Niaoyu Yurika said again, reaching out to push Chu Qingfeng’s shoulder, with a look of heartache in her eyes.
She really didn’t know what the man in front of her had experienced to make him so dispirited.
“Ah? Hello.” Chu Qingfeng came back to his senses.
“What would you like to drink?” Yurika Nyoha leaned her hands on the counter, the huge shadow making it hard to breathe.
She spoke again, asking softly.
Chu Qingfeng’s attention was completely on the shadow, and he casually asked for a glass of ice water.
Thinking too much can probably suffocate a person.
“Okay, wait a moment~~”
Nyoha Yurika turned and went to the bar, then handed him a glass of ice water, “I noticed that you seemed quite interested in the comic wall just now. Can I tell you about it?” Nyoha Yurika introduced the comic wall to him as if she was explaining something.
Even though Chu Qingfeng already knew the history, he still listened carefully.
You must admit that the beautiful Yourong’s explanation is really different from that of ordinary people.
Especially the snow rabbit, jumping and hopping, so cute.
Following Yurika Nyoha’s footsteps, we came to the comics wall.
There are rows of comics on the pyramid-shaped bookshelf from most to least, with fewer and fewer as you go up.
Until the very top, which had already been covered in dust.
“That’s great.” Chu Qingfeng said softly.
“Yes, these are my collections over the years. I have read every one of them carefully. They are also my past selves.” Nyoha Yurika agreed with a smile, her fingertips running across each plastic-wrapped work on the bookshelf as if she was recalling the past.
After a long while, she turned to look at Chu Qingfeng with a smile on her face, a bit complacent, and pointed to the empty box at the top that was covered in dust. “Every cartoonist who comes here dreams of having their book on the top shelf.”
“Is there any benefit?” Chu Qingfeng blurted out.
Niaoyu Yurika smiled slightly, with some anticipation in her eyes: “There is a special reward~ Only the person who puts it up can know, it’s a secret.” She seemed to see what Chu Qingfeng wanted to ask and added directly.
“Actually, I’m also a cartoonist.”
“I see.”
“Huh? How did you figure that out?” Chu Qingfeng was a little confused.
Nyoha Yurika smiled slightly, “My sixth sense, isn’t it?”
“really.”
“Hey, Mona-chan, didn’t I tell you that most of the people who come to my place at night are manga artists, and some novelists come too.”
“I heard about it.” Chu Qingfeng nodded, indicating that he knew, his eyes showing seven parts of hesitation, three parts of decadence, and two parts of helplessness borrowed from God.
Mona-chan’s smile remained unchanged.
She had noticed that Chu Qingfeng was not in good condition a long time ago.
“Little brother, are you in trouble?”
As she spoke, she moved closer to Chu Qingfeng, folded her arms under her chest, and looked him up and down.
Chu Qingfeng was delighted.
Is this coming?
Chu Qingfeng lowered his head and said nothing, muttering silently in his heart.
Come on, hurry up, dead brain, think about the saddest things in your life!
Then when he raised his head again, his eyes were slightly red and he was looking at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle.
He looked like a professional actor.
After a pause of nearly five minutes, Chu Qingfeng finally let out a sigh: “I guess so…”
But he did encounter some troubles, such as just now when Matsumae Oka said that she might be pregnant.
Damn, he isn’t cool enough yet.
Of course, if he really got pregnant, he wouldn’t ignore it, but he just wanted a daughter.
Why?
I can only say that the rice bowl is delicious!
Seeing the handsome man in front of her looking so distraught, Nyoha Yurika felt so distressed. With a touch of tenderness and a kind of concern between friends, she said, “If it’s convenient for you, please tell me about it. Maybe I can help.”
“I…….”
Chu Qingfeng wanted to say: How about helping me relieve some of the stress. ….
For example, if I want to eat some corn, there are too many corn kernels at home and I can’t finish them all.
“Actually, I can’t find the way home.”
Upon hearing this, Nyoba Yurika was stunned.
“place of birth?”
“Oh, it’s my home. I can’t find the way home.”
As we all know, everyone in Dongda University has two homes: one is the current home and the other is the old house in the countryside.
That is my parents’ home, or more precisely, my mother’s home.
“Oh…” Nyoha Yurika pursed her lips slightly.
This wasn’t the first time she had heard such words.
Some people have said this before, but the tone of those people’s voices was either deliberately exaggerated and flattering, or emotionless and perfunctory.
It was so fake that even the air didn’t bother to cooperate with their performance.
But the young man in front of him was different.
There was genuine confusion in his voice, and his eyes were as clear as a lost cub, making people want to reach out and rub his fluffy hair.
perhaps…….
Perhaps, in fact, others have also revealed some sincerity.
But those faces are blurry in my memory, not as vivid as the lowered eyes of the man in front of me.
Yurika Nyoba looked at his sunny and handsome face.
For good-looking people, even their fragility seems particularly worthy of indulgence.
“Hmm…I understand. Please follow me and we’ll talk in the back.”

Chapter 36: Message from Matsumae Oka (Old Version)
“Behind? Where? Behind which one?”
Chu Qingfeng was a little confused. Was it so smooth?
He wasn’t prepared at all.
But for some unknown reason, he followed Yurika Nyoha into the room behind the bar.
Why is it so strange? Of course it’s not because of anything else.
Just curious about what’s behind it.
Chu Qingfeng didn’t say anything and followed quietly.
To be honest, Yurika Nyoha looks really good in her work clothes.
Not only does he have a gentle personality, but even when he wears a smart suit and vest, he has a subtle mature charm.
Across the bar is a compact kitchen.
The cramped space was planned to perfection.
The central aisle is only wide enough for one person to pass sideways, but various kitchen utensils such as frying pans, woks, iron plates, etc. are arranged in an orderly manner on both sides.
At the end of the aisle, a noodle cooker was spewing out white mist regularly.
Looking up, the cramped kitchen was filled with stainless steel racks, on which were placed various ingredients packed in fresh-keeping boxes, in large quantities and neatly stacked.
The space is fully utilized to the extreme.
Yurika Nyoha walked into the kitchen, bent down and opened the lower shelf of the refrigerator.
As we all know, the lower layer of the refrigerator is generally the freezing area (below -10 degrees) or the variable temperature area (0-4 degrees).
The plump and perky Yuan Run swayed in front of Chu Qingfeng.
What a beautiful scenery!
Chu Qingfeng watched Niaoyu Yurika bending over and fiddling with the refrigerator.
Bring out a plate of oysters.
Are you going to make oysters for yourself?
Chu Qingfeng was a little nervous, but he still liked to eat oysters raw, especially those that were freshly caught and had the taste of the sea.
No seasoning is needed.
Pry open the shell and take a bite of the salty oysters. Hmm… they are tender and juicy.
Chu Qingfeng thought about it and couldn’t help but move forward. When he was almost close to Niao Yu Yurika, he was about to see Oyster waving at him.
But at this time, Yurika Nyoha closed the refrigerator.
The oyster opened its mouth to breathe, as if frightened by the big hand, and closed it instantly.
“What’s wrong?”
Nyoha Yurika turned her head and saw a big hand grabbing the air awkwardly.
Chu Qingfeng was also calm and not nervous at all.
Why get nervous? It’s just catching some oysters.
He said with a disappointed tone: “I just found a fresh oyster and wanted to eat it raw, but I thought it was too rude…”
“Do you like eating oysters?” Nyoha Yurika slightly curved her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile.
“I like them, especially the freshly caught ones.”
“The ones that have been circulating in the seafood market for a few days and then sold by middlemen are not good. They are not fresh and will cause food poisoning if eaten.”
Chu Qingfeng answered in a serious tone, his eyes revealing his unique requirements for food.
“So there’s such a saying. This is the first time I know this. You know so much, you must live by the sea, right?” Nyoha Yurika chuckled and put the fresh-keeping box of oysters on the countertop, then stood on tiptoe to try to put the ingredients on the stainless steel rack.
“I guess so.” Chu Qingfeng answered indifferently.
Then he leaned on the operating table and admired Yurika Nyoha who was showing off her great advantages.
This wave of investment is very complicated. Even someone as tough as him may not be able to emerge.
“Can you help me get it?”
“I can’t really reach it.”
Yurika Nyoba turned around awkwardly and their eyes met.
Is he…that look…looking at me?
He’s such a bad brother, but since he’s handsome, I’ll just give him an incentive award.
“Oh, okay.” Chu Qingfeng nodded and immediately stepped forward to help. His height advantage of 1.8 meters was immediately apparent.
He just raised his hand slightly and got it easily.
After handing it to Yurika Nyoha, the two of them stopped talking.
She chuckled as she pulled a bundle of dried cauliflower from the crisper, many warm memories coming to mind.
Chu Qingfeng just stood aside and watched quietly.
She scooped a few scoops of boiling hot water from the boiling ramen pot and poured it on the dried cauliflower in the bowl to soak it.
When the dried cauliflower has absorbed enough water and become plump again, filter out the hot water, squeeze out excess water, coat it with egg liquid and breadcrumbs, and put it into the heated fryer.
While frying, a ball of portioned ramen noodles was thrown into the noodle cooker.
The time is one minute and thirty seconds.
Leaning against the operating table, watching the busy Yurika Nyoha.
Looking from behind, her waist was surprisingly thin, and the roundness wrapped in the straight pants was also raised high.
The steam rising from the noodle cooker surrounded her, making her outline even more hazy.
It is a painting that is so beautiful that it captivates the mind.
As he watched, Chu Qingfeng suddenly felt like he was about to soar into the sky.
He was considering whether to be a yellow-haired man again.
Just then, the phone vibrated.
Chu Qingfeng picked it up and saw that it was a picture and text sent by Matsumae Ouka.
Chu Qingfeng looked at the picture and felt relieved.
But he still instructed: [Get up tomorrow morning and test it again, and then test it again in a few days. Ouka is the best.]In the bathroom of Xicui Manor.
Ouka Matsumae, who was sitting on the toilet, saw the message from Chu Qingfeng.
My cheeks felt slightly hot and I felt relieved.
She struggled for a long time this afternoon, and finally, out of fear, took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention, changed into casual clothes, put on a hat and mask, and quietly went to the street. Thanks to the money Chu Qingfeng gave her, she was able to take the tram to a pharmacy in the next county to buy the test kit.
He rushed back to Xicui Manor and couldn’t wait to go into the bathroom.
“I’m not being obedient. Do you treat me like a child, Feng Jun?”
She mumbled and quickly replied: [I understand.]……………..
Chapter 37 For the sake of seriousness, I will call you all. (Old version)
Looking at the woman busy in the kitchen in front of me.
Chu Qingfeng felt very fortunate.
It’s truly amazing to be able to meet a woman like Yurika Nyoha, who has a super S-shaped figure, beautiful looks and a beautiful temperament, on such a rainy day.
The dried cauliflower coated with golden egg liquid and crispy breadcrumbs is gently slid into a 180-degree oil pan.
Suddenly, the oil surface burst into a cheerful “sizzling” sound, and milky white bubbles surrounded each piece of cauliflower, tumbling up and down in the boiling oil waves.
As the Maillard reaction occurs, the originally pale yellow coat gradually turns into an attractive golden color.
An indescribable fragrance had no time to spread throughout the kitchen before it was greedily sucked up by the buzzing range hood.
Only a few stubborn scents escaped and were captured by the nose, which was savored carefully.
Take out the fried ones and place them in a colander.
After the sizzling grease has completely drained, place it on an exquisite plate lined with oil-absorbing paper and decorated with French incense on the edge.
At the same time, the ramen timer rang.
Nyoha Yurika quickly picked up the noodle basket, shook it a few times in the air, shook off excess water and poured it into the boiling ramen bowl, then added a spoonful of soup, placed half a hot spring egg along the edge of the bowl, put corn kernels and shredded wood ear in the middle, and finally inserted a piece of crispy seaweed.
In less than thirty seconds, a bowl of simple yet thoughtful basic ramen is ready.
“I don’t know where you’re from, so I can only give you some of my favorite things, which are also the local food from my hometown.”
“A bowl of meatless ramen and a serving of tempura made from dried cauliflower.”
“I hope these things can comfort you.”
Yurika Nyoha tilted her head and smiled while holding the tray.
The long purple hair fell naturally as the head tilted, like a waterfall falling from a height.
Such warmth and sincerity like the sun made Chu Qingfeng feel a little guilty.
Others treat you like this, but you treat others like that.
Is this okay?
Okay, I’m really hungry.
Asking means repaying kindness.
A drop of water must be repaid with a spring!
This is a matter of principle.
“Come and try it~” Niaoyu Yurika put the tray on the workbench, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of golden dried cauliflower tempura, caught it with her hands, and brought it to Chu Qingfeng’s mouth.
There was a glimmer in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
Well, who can resist this look of seriousness, concentration and motherly love!!!
Any normal person would want to beat her up!
Call her all.
Chu Qingfeng opened his mouth naturally and enjoyed the feeding.
The dried cauliflower wrapped in golden breadcrumbs is fragrant and crispy.
“Crack—”
The dried cauliflower with a unique flavor bursts in your mouth with oil.
The taste is very unique.
“How does this taste?” Nyoha Yurika asked with a smile.
“The taste is very unique, with dried cauliflower wrapped in a crispy coating, with a hint of bitterness and a unique chewy texture.”
“Is there a taste that is bitter at first but then sweet?” Nyoha Yurika smiled.
Chu Qingfeng felt it carefully and nodded silently.
Seeing Chu Qingfeng nod, Niaoyu Yurika was slightly distracted, as if a figure suddenly appeared in her memory.
She remembered that when she was a child, she couldn’t move her butt away every time she saw tempura being fried at the street vendors.
But at that time, our family was very poor, and my father could only scrape together enough money to buy half a bowl of tempura by taking out a few coins from his patched clothes.
But who would sell half a tempura?
At this time, my mother would always pick out the edible parts of the cauliflower that others didn’t want, dry them into dried cauliflower, exchange them for two eggs, and then use cold, hard bread crumbs mixed with the dried cauliflower to make tempura to satisfy her craving.
Later, when she grew up, she came to Tokyo from the poor town.
From a little girl who knew nothing, she learned cooking and cocktail making through hard work.
Then we saved some money and opened this coffee bar together.
As the coffee bar gradually got on track and started to make money.
But my parents are gone.
“Haha, can I try some ramen?”
Niaoyu Yurika, who was lost in tears of memories, was brought back to reality by Chu Qingfeng.
“Of course.” Nyoha Yurika’s smile returned to her face. “Try this ramen. It’s my favorite.”
Chu Qingfeng carefully picked up the bowl of hot ramen and drank a sip of the soup first.
It tastes really good.
Then he mixed the condiments and took a mouthful of ramen.
Although it is a vegetarian noodle, the rich bone broth still has the aroma of oil, which is delicious when you take a bite.
It perfectly illustrates the simplicity of the great way.
In a short while, the food on the tray was cleared out.
Yurika Nyoba looked at the down-and-out man who was gradually recovering his vitality, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Her smile was like a smile full of sacred maternal love.
But she didn’t know that all this was pretended by Chu Qingfeng.
Of course it’s true that he eats noodles with big mouthfuls.
He was indeed hungry.
It’s almost six o’clock since I came out of the convenience store. It’s time for dinner. Shouldn’t I be hungry?
“Thank you.” Chu Qingfeng said sincerely. He paused and was about to take out the money, but was stopped by Niaoyu Yurika.
“This is a special treat today~”
“Little brother, you have to remember that life is like dried cauliflower, bitter at first but sweet later…”
“Come on, cheer up!”
Niaoyu Yurika raised her hand, patted Chu Qingfeng’s shoulder and said solemnly.
Chu Qingfeng also nodded seriously.
I thought to myself: Since you are so serious, I will give my all on the day of the home run!
I will definitely call you all.
ps: Please give me some free data, flowers, and comments, thank you very much!
Chapter 38 Mei Baihe’s cosplay: The Witch is Coming (Old Version)
After enjoying the specially prepared dishes, return to the bar.
In the evening, passengers began to board the bus one after another.
Yurika Nyoha stood at the bar and started working.
Chu Qingfeng sat at the bar for a while, and the phone rang again.
This time it’s whitening.
“Hello?”
Chu Qingfeng left the noisy bar, stood outside the door, and answered the phone.
An extremely lazy and charming voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Feng Jun, are you coming back tonight? I learned a new skill and I want to show it to you.”
“New skills?” Chu Qingfeng was a little expectant. This little landlord always gave him some fancy tricks.
The former pastry chef, Miyazono Kaoru.
What will she cosplay today?
Chu Qingfeng looked back at Niao Yu Yurika who was busy at the bar behind the glass door. According to the bar’s business hours, if he wanted to eat meat, he would probably have to wait until four or five in the morning.
Instead of guarding the sheep like a hungry wolf, it is better to be a patient owner.
After all, the intimacy brought by repeated feeding can often unlock more hidden menus.
“Okay, wait for me.”
Chu Qingfeng did not hesitate. Hesitation was not his character.
He hung up the phone and decided to go home first to see what was going on with Mei Baihe and what character she was going to cosplay.
He put away his phone and went back into the bar.
Chu Qingfeng stood at the bar with a worried look on his face, admiring Yurika Niaoyu, who had a super S-shaped figure, as she finished the work at hand one by one. Then he walked up to her, said hello, and prepared to leave.
Chu Qingfeng saw Niaoyu Yurika finished her work and looked towards him, then slowly said, “Today’s dish…”
“It’s a special privilege, but it’s not a normal treatment. Didn’t we just say that? You don’t have to pay, as long as you cheer up.”
Yurika Nyoha smiled softly with her red lips, her hands resting on the bar.
The mountains were high and towering. Seeing Chu Qingfeng seemed to be hesitant to speak, Niao Yu Youlixiang thought she saw through his thoughts. She paused and touched her red lips lightly, “If you can give me something to look forward to…”
What does it mean to have expectations?
There are many things to look forward to, such as his older brother.
The ferocious appearance made the pupils of many people who had seen it dilate. Does this count as expectation?
However, following where Niaoyu Yurika’s gaze went, Chu Qingfeng saw what she was expecting in her mouth.
If I’m not mistaken, it should be the comic wall with the pyramid-shaped bookshelves.
After leaving the coffee bar, Chu Qingfeng returned to the apartment.
As soon as I arrived at the bottom of the apartment building, I saw a small figure sticking out from between the railings of the second-floor corridor.
She gripped the iron bars tightly with both hands, and through the gaps in the hollow bars she could see a pair of jailers trying to tiptoe upwards.
He looked like a child standing at the door waiting for his parents to come home.
Needless to say, it was the landlord Mei Baihe.
When she saw Chu Qingfeng appear in front of the apartment door, she waved and greeted him, then quickly ran back home and ran to the third floor carrying a bag of clothes.
Then she opened the door of Chu Qingfeng’s house and went in.
A smile appeared on Chu Qingfeng’s lips.
Walk upstairs quickly.
Let’s see what’s going on today.
Crunch——
The sound of old-fashioned hinges echoed in the air.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured in like melted gold foil. Mei Baihe stood in the entranceway, bathed in a warm orange glow, her exposed skin gleaming with a pearly sheen.
The moment the door opened, she trembled slightly in shock, and in panic she grabbed a piece of white clothing at hand to protect her chest.
The thin fabric couldn’t cover anything at all, and it made her skin look even more radiant.
Chu Qingfeng’s breathing stagnated.
At this moment, she was as beautiful as Venus walking out of a classical oil painting, and every inch of her lines revealed a contradictory beauty of holiness and temptation.
Mei Baihe was startled, but when she saw it was Chu Qingfeng, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Feng, Feng Jun, how can you be so fast!”
Isn’t it just going upstairs? This distance would only take him a few seconds.
Chu Qingfeng leaned against the door frame with a mischievous smile on his lips.
“Who was it before—” Chu Qingfeng suddenly lowered his voice and imitated her crying tone at that time, “Please, please hurry up, it’s too late… Hmm?”
Mei Baihe was choked by these words, and her already red cheeks became even hotter.
The setting sun seemed to be playing tricks on her, making her earlobes almost transparent. Under the setting sun, one could even clearly see the capillaries quickly turning her earlobes red.
“Huh?!” Mei Baihe pouted and stomped her delicate feet on the ground.
The clothes in his hands were wrung into deep wrinkles.
At this moment, I wish I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
But those almond-shaped eyes still had a sparkling gleam in them, as if they were reluctant to accept.
“No, I never said that. It’s all just nonsense, Feng Jun.”
Mei Baihe snorted lightly, and without paying any attention to Chu Feng, she took her clothes and ran into the bathroom.
Chu Qingfeng smiled. He really liked seeing girls react like this.
It is also clear that Mei Baihe’s idea is to establish a personal image, right?
It’s okay, you can establish your own personality, and I will support you.
Close the door.
Even though Chu Qingfeng was changing shoes at the entrance, he could still clearly feel the ambiguous atmosphere.
I turned my head to look at the frosted glass of the bathroom and began to look forward to what kind of cosplay costume Mei Baihe would wear.
In the bathroom, Mei Baihe, with her cheeks still red, heard the door close.
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
A little dry mouth.
She knew exactly what was going to happen next, and she couldn’t help but rub her legs together.
It seems like she has already gotten into the mood before she officially cosplays today’s character.
I feel a little ashamed about whitening, a little hate myself for being sensitive, and a little disgusted with myself for not living up to my expectations.
It’s so easy to spit.
Chu Qingfeng sat on the sofa.
But my thoughts drifted to the coffee bar, and at that time the volcano almost erupted.
What you can’t get will always make you restless. Red is a cinnabar mole branded on your heart. Red is as mediocre as mosquito blood.
He hummed softly, which was very appropriate to the occasion.
After a while, Mei Baihe came out of the room.
Chu Qingfeng heard the sound of the door opening and instinctively looked towards the bathroom.
hiss!
Are you going to cosplay as a shrine maiden today?
Seeing that Mei Baihe was holding a magical instrument that seemed to be commonly used in Shinto rituals of the Imperial Coin, Chu Qingfeng guessed that Mei Baihe should be a cosplaying shrine maiden.
“Feng Jun, how is it?”
Mei Baihe blushed and spun around barefoot on the wooden floor.
The clothes are quite distinctive.
The top is off-shoulder with wide yellow sleeves decorated with brown lines, paired with a light-colored wrap top and an orange-red skirt.
A unique golden headdress on the head that resembles rabbit ears.
Chu Qingfeng couldn’t tell that she was an orthodox shrine maiden, so he probably thought she was a folk shrine maiden from some small place.
Looking at Meibaihe’s straight and white waist, it is just the right height.
Imagine again that the Meibaihe event will proceed according to the previous conventional plot.
Chu Qingfeng said that it was just rice grains, but it could fill the stomach.
Chapter 39 Feng Jun, I will help you exorcise the evil spirit! (Old version)
“It looks good. Sister Lily, you look good in anything you wear.”
Chu Qingfeng leaned against the door frame with a lazy smile on his lips.
He said this universal formula lightly, but it made the tips of Meili’s ears turn crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye. She was as helpless as a girl who received a gift from her lover.
If you compliment her on her beauty, she will just smile faintly to be polite.
If someone else praised her like this, she would just nod slightly, with a standard polite smile on her lips, as distant as if there was a layer of glass between them.
But Chu Qingfeng is different. This is the person both she and her sister like.
“Humph! Feng Jun only knows how to flatter people with sweet words.”
“I still remember the sketch you drew last time.”
Meili puffed out her cheeks, muttered, and stared at her toes in a daze.
This angle should have allowed us to see more scenery.
How can you see your toes when you look down?
I don’t want to…
Mei Lily had an unhappy look on her face. She immediately looked up and stopped looking down to avoid falling into deep inferiority.
Chu Qingfeng looked at the little landlord who was possessed by a spirit of drama, with a smile on his face, and cooperated with her in acting.
“So what does Lily want?”
Beautiful Lily looked around with a hint of cunning in her beautiful eyes.
She waved the imperial coin in her hand casually in the air, her pretty face serious.
“Feng Jun, I see an evil spirit haunting your room. Your last excessive behavior was caused by an evil spirit possessing you.”
Is it starting now?
Chu Qingfeng smiled and acted quite well with the landlady.
“Then…then please help me, Master!”
Chu Qingfeng thought about it and pretended to be terrified, his acting was very good.
Miyuri didn’t answer immediately, but waved the imperial coin around the room.
After circling around Chu Qingfeng, she stood in front of him and spoke slowly. Her voice was extremely serious and sounded like it really was the case.
“Then let me help you exorcise the evil spirit!”
“Please go there.”
Miyuri pointed to the center of the room. “That’s where the energy of the entire room converges. It’s also the key location for exorcising evil spirits. You need to sit there. I will use a spell to awaken the energy and cleanse the impurities from your body, purifying the room of evil spirits.”
Meibaihe’s eyes were sharp and he was ready for battle.
It looked like he really saw an evil spirit.
Chu Qingfeng did as he was told. When it comes to cosplay, and to interpret the plot, the tool person is also very important.
Everything is ready.
Miyuri took a deep breath, waved the imperial coins and chanted incomprehensible spells.
“Da la la, da la la~”
Tingqiao circled around him again and again.
There is also a hint of lavender scent of shower gel when waving.
Miyuri kept chanting spells and then started doing a strange dance.
The dance looked like nothing more than hip twisting, but paired with the shrine maiden’s attire and the imperial coins, it looked particularly alluring and seductive.
Miyuri’s dance steps gradually became more and more unrestrained, and the hem of her scarlet hakama fluttered gracefully with her twisting waist, occasionally revealing half of her snow-white thighs.
The imperial coin in his hand drew an arc in the air, making a rustling sound, and every wave brought a gust of lavender fragrance.
“Evil spirits please go away~Evil spirits please go away~” She recited the spell in a serious manner, but her voice was very soft.
After all, the performance was not good enough, like a cunning fox playing tricks.
Chu Qingfeng sat there with his arms folded, staring at her.
“Miko-sama”
“How can you be serious about this exorcism ritual of yours?”
Chu Qingfeng spoke, but Mei Baihe did not respond. Her eyes were empty and she kept repeating incomprehensible words.
seem…….
It seems like he is possessed.
Can’t you hear it?
Is there really an evil spirit???
Chu Qingfeng’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this world has a fantastic side that he hasn’t seen?
Could it be that one day I will meet a girl named Yotsuya Miko?
Chu Qingfeng was really worried.
In his current state, especially with that proficiency system, he has no ability to protect himself.
If he really encounters an evil spirit, will his life in this world end before it even begins?
However, soon, Miyuri’s words brought him back to reality.
She held her knees with her hands, breathing heavily, and seemed very tired.
Miyuri let out a soft cry of “Ah” and the imperial coin fell to the ground with a “plop”.
“Now!”
“Feng Jun, I can feel the breath of the evil spirit in your body. To destroy it, it must be transmitted here!”
“quick.”
She raised her face and her eyelashes trembled.
Pointing at himself, his eyes were determined as he vowed to fight the evil spirit.
“Okay, okay!”
The patchwork street scenes outside the window form a unique landscape in the sunset.
The sky, like a sea of fire, gradually dissipated as the sun set.
Instead, a few dark clouds floated in.
Summer rain comes and goes as it pleases.
There was no rhyme or sign.
Fine raindrops fell on the eaves.
Then there was a heavy rain, as if the Milky Way in the sky was pouring down on the earth.
Accompanied by a strong ocean typhoon wreaking havoc on the streets.
The weather outside was similar to Mei Lily’s current situation.
The rain kept falling and the strong wind made the glass buzz.
This rain seems to be the unresolved emotions from the previous rain, it is much more violent.
Pedestrians rushed to safe places.
This small country is located in the Taipingyang monsoon region and has to face typhoons every summer and autumn.
Moreover, because it is located in a volcanic earthquake zone, the continuous compression between the oceanic plate and the continental plate causes this land to often withstand the tremors of crustal movement.
Therefore, people living in this country have a strong awareness of disaster prevention.
The TV cuts to urgent news footage.
The weather anchor’s rapid voice was intermittent amidst the thunder:
Typhoon….sizzle….center….speed of 25 kilometers….please….sizzle….
The voice was intermittent and the screen turned into a snowy screen.
A series of creepy explosions came from outside the window. The high-voltage wires swayed violently in the strong wind, and the sparks produced by the friction of the insulation layer were particularly dazzling in the rain.
The voltage in the entire block began to become unstable, and the lights in the residential buildings flickered.
“Bang!”
With the muffled sound of the transformer, the entire community fell into complete silence and darkness.
Chapter 40 Crying and Begging for Spare (Old Version)
Miyuri slumped on the wooden floor, her back leaning weakly against the wall.
She lowered her head so deeply that her chin almost touched her collarbone.
The empty pupils reflected the royal coins thrown carelessly on the floor.
His right hand was about to pick up the imperial coin, but it was shaking uncontrollably.
“Sister Lily, what’s wrong with you?!”
Chu Qingfeng was shocked when he saw Mei Baihe’s appearance.
This fight was indeed fierce, with both sides showing off their skills.
This time he still looked at Mei Lily with new eyes.
Miyuri, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly let out a laugh as if she had succeeded in her evil plan.
She raised her head and looked at Chu Qingfeng. Her beautiful eyes, which should have been gentle, became extremely ferocious.
“Hahaha, I finally got out. Hey, hey, hey, little bastard, this body has been taken over by this king.”
“Now I’m going to use this body to torture you!”
Meili’s tone was very different from before.
If Chu Qingfeng hadn’t watched the original drama, he would have almost fallen into her trap!
“You big, bold monster! I can tell at a glance that you are not human. You are just a petty trick, and you dare to show off your skills in front of an expert, the mighty Tianlong!”
“World-honored Ksitigarbha, Prajnaparamita!”
Mei Baihe was startled by Chu Qingfeng, not just because he spoke suddenly.
It’s also because my brother’s bald head is so hideous and scary.
The sun rose as usual. The typhoon left in the middle of the night, sweeping deep into the ocean and leaving a mess on the streets.
The fallen tree was covered with fallen leaves, and scattered trash cans were overturned on the ground. At this moment, several stray dogs were rummaging through the trash cans for food.
Inside the apartment.
Chu Qingfeng woke up slowly.
He took a look at Mei Lily, who was still hugging him tightly with tears on her eyes.
The delicate and fair face is flawless, revealing the snow-white skin under the quilt, reflecting the white light in the sunlight.
Chu Qingfeng pulled back the quilt.
The two spoke frankly to each other.
Mei Lily’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tear marks on her pretty face told of how difficult it was.
Today is Monday, the day Chu Qingfeng changes shifts. This week he will be working with two new employees.
That is, Toyue Shiori and Nakaizumi Yui.
He still clearly remembered the last time Dong Yuexuan relied on the fact that she had an extra pound of flesh over others to act aggressively.
This guy is just like that. If others respect him, he will return the favor.
If someone insults him a little, then that would be the least of his problems.
Take the time when he helped Matsumae Oka a few days ago. Licking Gou questioned him and scolded him in public, making him feel embarrassed and ashamed.
And this time Dong Yuexiu was so disrespectful, her fate can be imagined.
Chu Qingfeng opened his LINE account and replied to the messages from Matsumae Oka and Xiao Tianyou one by one as usual.
Alas, the plain life is just so dull.
After replying the message, Chu Qingfeng saw another message from Xing Youcai in the list.
When I clicked on it, I was almost stunned by the legs.
It was a picture. Xing Youcai’s pretty face was filled with a youthful and lively smile. She was wearing a black short-sleeved dress with a thin cream-colored double-breasted sunscreen jacket draped over it. Her long hair was lightly tied into a high ponytail at the back.
A pair of slender and well-proportioned calves exude a delicate and smooth texture like white porcelain under natural light.
She was wearing a pair of black high heels.
The upper is made of woven cotton flannel, the steel buckle is inlaid with sparkling diamonds, and the toe and heel are very delicate, giving people a delicate and easy-to-pull temperament.
Looking down was a long question.
[I’m sorry, but as someone I don’t know, could you give me some advice?]After reading it, Chu Feng roughly understood that Xing Youcai was graduating next year and was choosing what clothes to wear for the graduation ceremony.
To be honest, this outfit is okay for him alone, but it should be worn outside to show to others.
That won’t work.
Then, Chu Qingfeng gave his suggestion without hesitation.
My suggestion is that it looks good, but it’s not suitable. It’s suitable for wearing to your boyfriend.
At the same time, Xing Youcai, who had gotten up early, was swinging her legs, which were longer than many people’s lives, under the table with her toes hooked in her slippers.
She was eating breakfast and getting ready to go out.
I was watching a short video when I received a LINE message.
Her eyes lit up. It was the handsome guy she had approached that day who had replied!
She quickly clicked it and her pretty face flushed after reading it.
The hand holding the sandwich tapped rapidly on the screen.
[I don’t have a boyfriend yet, so what do you think I should wear…]Time passes by every second.
Xing Youcai sat at the table holding her phone, secretly trying to hold back her laughter. From time to time, she looked up at her mother who was busy in the kitchen. She felt nervous, and the smile on her face became even more intense.
What’s going on with this feeling of having an affair?
Xing Youcai shook her head and stopped thinking about it, but instead looked at Chu Qingfeng’s final suggestion.
During the conversation, she also learned Chu Qingfeng’s name and was very interested in this peer from the University of Tokyo.
“It turns out Chu Jun likes girls like this~”
After checking the time, Xing Youcai put on her shoes and ran out of the house in a panic.
We’re going to be late!
Chu Qingfeng, who was looking at the photo in the apartment, soared into the sky, emitting a terrifying aura.
The beauty beside him was suddenly frightened by the terrifying pressure rising into the sky. Her breathing became rapid and her well-proportioned thighs involuntarily rose.
“Sister Lily, are you awake?” Chu Qingfeng asked with a smile, leaning his elbow on the tatami and supporting his head with one hand.
Mei Baihe didn’t make any movement. She pretended to be asleep because she was a little scared, although she didn’t know what Chu Qingfeng had experienced.
But she knew very well that the early morning was when the hormone levels in the body were at their highest.
This is also the time when people’s energy is at its peak. She felt that if she made any sound, she would probably be beaten again.
“Sister Lily?”
“I haven’t woken up yet.”
After saying that, Chu Qingfeng stood up and left.
Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Miyuri breathed a sigh of relief.
It was almost, just a little bit, and she might see her great-grandmother again.
Fortunately, I was pretending to be asleep and was not discovered. I just had to wait for him to go to work and then go back.
But what she didn’t know was that Chu Qingfeng’s shift had changed this week, and he was still waiting for him to go out for work.
After a while, the footsteps came back again.
Boom boom boom…
Miyuri was frightened by the voice and swallowed secretly, waiting nervously.
But all I got was the feeling of socks being put on my feet.
“well???”
Mei Lily suddenly opened her eyes and leaned against Chu Qingfeng’s chest, pouting, “Don’t, Feng Jun, aren’t you going to work today?”
Then I looked down and saw that a pair of over-the-knee socks had been put on.
And next to it was the same clothes worn by Miyazono Kaoru.
“There are some adjustments at work tonight. Let’s not talk about anything else. I have something to talk to you about.” Chu Qingfeng signaled with his eyes.
Meili took a look and pursed her lips.
My stomach is rumbling.
Yes she was hungry.
But if you want to eat, you have to have a regular routine.
Overeating without any rules or regulations will only harm yourself.
It will also harm the family. Her sister will suffer the most, after all, she will have to take care of her when she is hospitalized.
After thinking so much, Mei Lily was still unwilling to admit that she had been conquered and would belong to Chu Qingfeng from now on.
She glanced at Chu Qingfeng aggrievedly, and suddenly, she turned over and rolled to the side.
Chapter 41 Manga Award Finalist (Old Version)
However.
None of this could escape Chu Qingfeng, who was blessed with proficiency.
He exerted force with both hands, and then a pair of big hands easily grasped it.
Mei Lily was in tears and turned to look at Chu Qingfeng with an embarrassed smile.
“Feng Jun, I will definitely do it next time.”
“Please let me go!” Mei Lily begged.
Chu Qingfeng was in a playful mood. He asked with a smile, “Then what are you to me?”
Mei Lily finally accepted her fate and whispered, “Little woof woof.”
Chu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction, rubbing the little head with one big hand.
“That can…”
Meili was about to plead for mercy when she suddenly gasped.
The day passed quickly.
The two people who had never left the room finally went out at five o’clock in the afternoon.
But the expression is very different.
….
Chu Qingfeng came to the convenience store with a refreshed spirit. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the back of a blonde wearing a green striped convenience store work T-shirt and a JK skirt.
Without a doubt, it must be Dong Yuexuan.
Chu Qingfeng was in a good mood. Looking at the figure’s back, he was only thinking about how to punish him.
Of course the reason must be reasonable.
Suddenly, he remembered that Dong Yuexiu had stolen a lunch box in the plot!
Although convenience stores are different, people are the same, and what is supposed to happen will still happen.
After all, that’s just who she is.
It’s impossible that she would stop stealing just because she changed the convenience store, right?
So as long as I can catch evidence of her stealing the lunch box, I will teach her a lesson on how to be a good person.
Having made up his mind, Chu Qingfeng changed his clothes and went to work.
When she changed her clothes and walked out of the staff lounge, Dong Yuexuan was obviously stunned for a moment, her eyes full of sharpness and disgust.
But she only dared to do this behind his back, and she seemed normal on the surface. After all, she had also experienced how powerful Chu Qingfeng was.
His straightforwardness in cursing people without beating around the bush is really frightening.
“Chu, Senior Chu…good evening.”
As soon as he arrived at the checkout counter, Chu Qingfeng met the cute and sexy Yui Nakaizumi.
Chu Qingfeng simply nodded and hummed in response to the unsolicited kindness, then formally instructed the two sisters on what to do in the evening.
Their convenience stores are mainly located in office areas and are not open 24 hours a day.
It is only open until 11pm every day and then closes for rest.
There are far fewer customers in the evening than in the morning, and all that needs to be done is to organize the shelves and replenish the goods.
Usually only three people are needed at night.
One person organizes the merchandise, one works the cashier, and one cleans and helps the early shift staff put the frozen food to be sold into the refrigerator to thaw.
After hearing the concise work content, the two sisters had very different expressions on their faces.
Nakaizumi Yui was obviously friendlier, but the yellow-haired girl Dong Yueshi looked a little disdainful.
“Okay, I’ll be in charge of organizing the merchandise, and you guys will each be assigned the remaining two tasks.”
“If you don’t understand anything, come to me.”
Chu Qingfeng is also a veteran, he knows what kind of work is the easiest.
Book the easy jobs first, and the rest is none of his business.
And there is a reason why he was arranged like this.
He sorted the goods in the warehouse by himself, giving the two sisters Dong Yue and Qiao more time to be alone.
In this way, he can not only do easy work but also observe secretly, as long as he can catch evidence of Dong Yuexiang stealing the lunch box.
Must fly!
“Is that all you are, senior?” Yui Nakaizumi couldn’t help but ask.
Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Dong Yue, who whispered in Nakaizumi Yui’s ear:
“Yui, why are you asking him? Look at him. He’s not good-looking except for his good looks. He’s already out in society but still doing odd jobs at a convenience store.” Dong Yue looked at Chu Qingfeng walking towards the employee lounge with a stern look and added, “He’s a complete loser. Let’s just do our own thing.”
Of course, Chu Qingfeng didn’t know this.
If he knew, he would probably have to brush Dong Yue’s teeth today because of her foul mouth.
The next few days were calm.
Chu Qingfeng’s way of getting along with the two girls remained the same, except that he had a new place to go after get off work instead of going home directly before – Niao Yu Yulixiang’s coffee bar.
The first thing he does after get off work every night is to sit in a coffee bar.
Improve Yurika Nyoha’s favorability.
Kodansha also has the latest news, the shortlist for the Manga Award has been officially announced.
Your Lie in April is among them.
There is another piece of news, Oka Matsumae is here.
This made Chu Qingfeng both disappointed and happy. It seemed that the self-production and self-sales model was no longer viable.
After get off work in the evening, Chu Qingfeng still turned into the alley and walked towards the coffee bar.
Pushing the door open, I saw that business was better today than usual, with quite a few people gathered in the store.
Both men and women.
When I walked to the bar, a woman who looked only about 27 or 28 looked up at me.
She was quite beautiful, tall, and had a silver nameplate pinned high on her chest.
“You’re here? Brother Xiaofeng.”
Although his hands were busy switching between the wine bottles.
But the voice was still relaxed, with a hint of joking between friends.
“Hello, President Niaoyu.” Chu Qingfeng leaned against the bar and looked at her with a teasing smile.
As usual, she was wearing a suit vest with a white shirt underneath, and her long purple hair swayed as she worked.
You can feel the professional and capable temperament at a glance.
“You’re the only one who’s talkative. Just call me Yurika or Sister.”
“Would you like to have a drink today?”
“Let me be clear, there are no special treatments.”
Yurika Nyoha was shaking the shaker up and down in her hand.
The shaker is metal.
The silver-white cup was held by a pair of slender fingers painted with nude nail polish.
“Haha, of course I know. What new wine do you have today?”
Chu Qingfeng asked with a smile.
“Veteran Whiskey, would you like a glass? I just made it.”
Niaoyu Yurika looked at Chu Qingfeng with her beautiful eyes, which were filled with a subtle moisture and tenderness.
Chu Qingfeng nodded in agreement. Just then, a customer left the table, and he was quick to sit on the high stool at the bar.
He supported his chin with one hand and waited quietly for his whiskey.
After a while, someone else left the table and sat down next to him. He ordered a different cocktail from Yurika Nyoha and sat next to him to discuss the shortlisted works for the Manga Award.
Chu Qingfeng looked with his eyes and listened with his ears.
He looked at Yurika Nyoha who was busy at the bar. She was concentrating on making cocktails, and her smooth and flowing manner was really attractive.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked over.
Tired of making cocktails, Yurika Nyoha paused for a moment and moved her sore arms.
At night, under the orange lights, the coffee bar was almost two-thirds full.
The small space was filled with the sounds of people talking, the clinking of wine glasses, and the flipping of comic books.
Then her eyes fell on the young man standing alone in the middle of the bar.
The orange light casts a warm glow, creating a sense of loneliness that is different from the surrounding noise.
In the warm light, he supported his chin with one hand and stared blankly at the comic book wall.
Like a still life painting forgotten in the noise.
Looking at the clean and handsome young man who was different from those around him who were either potbellied, greasy-faced, or unkempt and decadent, always gave people a pleasant visual enjoyment, which suddenly made Nyoha Yurika want to play a prank.
She smiled and picked up a round ice cube, placed it in a square glass, and poured in whiskey.
“Brother Xiaofeng, your Veteran Whisky is ready. Please enjoy it slowly~”
Chu Qingfeng turned his head to look at the whiskey on the bar, his eyelids twitching – what a huge lump of ice!
Chapter 42: The 23-year-old genius cartoonist (old version)
Hearing the whispers, Yurika Nyoha, who was standing at the bar, was stunned.
“Brother Xiaofeng, don’t be naughty…”
Chu Qingfeng was originally whispering with his head down, but when she said that, he suddenly raised his head and his forehead bumped directly into her smooth forehead.
“Peng~~~”
“Hiss…”
“Ouch~~”
Both of them covered their foreheads, and Niaoyu Yulixiang cried out in pain through her thin lips: “Xiaofeng brother, it hurts so much, why are you so hard?”
Chu Qingfeng also covered his forehead with his hands, feeling a little confused, and responded in the same aggrieved tone: “Sister, I am in pain too…”
“Huh? Brother Xiaofeng is really not a gentleman at all. At a time like this, he should obviously care about girls first.” Niaoyu Yurika said coquettishly, looked at Chu Qingfeng and snorted.
“Oh, yeah, really? I don’t quite understand…” Chu Qingfeng responded politely.
How could he not know?
This guy is totally pretending!
An innocent little boy pretending to understand nothing.
After all, women like those in bars always like something a little different.
If everyone behaves like a gentleman, then there will be no differentiation, right?
In order to make a woman remember you, you always have to be a little different.
Niaoyu Yulixiang sighed, her thin lips still breathing coldly, and said tiredly: “Brother Xiaofeng, you are not a straight man, right?”
“Uh…I just don’t have much contact with the opposite sex.” Chu Qingfeng lowered his head and pretended to be innocent.
When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.
Based on the other person’s occupation, he has to create an image of an innocent boy before he has nothing to eat.
There is no way, whether men or women, there are only two things they love to do most.
Pull the good family into the water to swim, and persuade the prodigal son to come ashore.
After spending a few days together, Chu Qingfeng realized that the woman in front of him had seen a lot. Although she was still single, whether she was Chu Zi remained to be verified.
“Ah…” Niaoyu Yurika was a little surprised, but she quickly concealed it. A hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes, and she said jokingly, “Now I can be sure that you are it.” As she said that, she put her pair of white and tender hands on Chu Qingfeng’s shoulders.
Chu Qingfeng lowered his head and said nothing, just looking at the big ice cube in the cup.
Yes, yes, you are right.
Chu Qingfeng knew very well that when a woman showed interest in or even curiosity about the opposite sex and had physical contact from time to time, it was a 70% chance that there would be a chance.
Because there are still 13 floors to be completed.
“It’s really embarrassing that you don’t talk to women at all.” Yurika Nyoha looked at him with the eyes of an older sister looking at her younger brother.
Chu Qingfeng also raised his head at this time.
Their eyes met.
Just look at each other.
Yurika Nyoha has beautiful eyes, and there is always an indescribable tenderness in her big, beautiful eyes.
It makes people want to rush out in anger.
After about five seconds, it was Yurika Nyoha who spoke first, breaking the silence amid the noise.
With a gossipy expression, he said, “Xiaofeng, I’d like to ask, do you have any friends of the opposite sex? The kind you can talk to?”
“Uh…” Chu Qingfeng answered seriously, “No.”
“As expected, consider this glass of Veteran Whisky my treat. You can come and talk to me if you have anything to say in the future.”
“Sister, I’m an old hand at love. If I can make you happy, I might even be able to introduce you to some cute girls.”
Chu Qingfeng had a blank expression on his face. The so-called veteran whiskey was just a big lump of ice and a little bit of alcohol.
I’m afraid only a fool would buy this glass of wine.
She treated me to a drink, of course!
“No!” Chu Qingfeng answered directly without any hesitation.
Introduce a beautiful girl?
Of course you can’t have it, be single-minded! You must understand single-mindedness!
When Chu Qingfeng deceives others, he not only deceives himself.
He even deceived his brothers who had fought with him for many years.
Fortunately, the two people’s low voices were drowned out by the noisy sounds, and only they themselves could hear them.
Hearing this, Niaoyu Yurika covered her mouth in surprise, “Don’t you like women?”
“I…I like to be like…” Chu Qingfeng grasped the meaning very well. His sentences were discontinuous and he portrayed an innocent boy just right. The only shortcoming was the lack of a little blush.
But fortunately, with the cover of the orange light, the other party did not pay attention to this.
Chu Qingfeng hesitated to speak the following words and looked at Niaoyu Yurika without saying anything.
He likes everything, from the old a8 to the latest ones.
But it is better to get a new car. If it is sold by a second-hand dealer, he will never buy it unless there are special circumstances.
Yurika Nyoha also felt something was wrong, and her expression was subtle and complicated.
You clearly wanted to tease others at the beginning, but in the end you were the one being teased?
The key is that I can’t catch it.
What should I do? Is the atmosphere going to be awkward?
Yurika Nyoha pursed her red lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But soon three new customers came up and ordered some drinks, which broke the deadlock.
Stopping teasing Chu Qingfeng, Niaoyu Yurika turned around and started mixing cocktails, then started chatting with the new customer.
Those three were the latest women to sit in the high chair.
Looks, well… ordinary.
In short, probably no one will like it, but no one will dislike it too much either.
It’s just ordinary, without any highlights, a completely ordinary face.
At this moment, they are talking about this year’s Kodansha Manga Award and the newly launched Best Award.
“Ms. Yurika, who do you think will win the Best Award at Kodansha this year?” one of the women asked directly.
After all, as Yurika Nyoha holds a certain position in the hearts of some cartoonists, her words also carry a certain weight.
She frowned slightly, but her hands did not stop working.
After a long while, he slowly said, “I guess it should be that one.”
She looked towards the TV hanging on the wall and nodded her delicate chin, signaling everyone to look at what was on TV.
Following Niaoyu Yurika’s movements, Chu Qingfeng also looked at the TV on the wall.
I saw an interview clip playing on TV.
The cartoonist being interviewed is very young, and he is now introducing a comic he created called “Swing Heaven”.
Chu Qingfeng watched and learned the man’s name from the TV narration – Naoto Shirono.
During the interview, the host repeatedly emphasized that this is a talented cartoonist who is only 23 years old.
Watching the young and artistic Naoto Jono on TV.
Several women whose looks were hard to describe were shouting: Husband.
At the beginning, the few of them had a good understanding of each other, but later on, it seemed that the friendly sisterhood turned into a familiar sisterhood.
They argued: This is what my husband said.
The language is shocking and obscene words are used endlessly.
Chu Qingfeng was also attracted and turned to look at the quarrel. When he heard clearly that they were fighting for the power of the husband named Naoto Shirono on TV, he got goose bumps all over his body.
What a misfortune.
If the person on TV knew that he was liked by a few people like this and was engaged in verbal battles with them, I wonder if he would cry or laugh.
Chapter 43 Wait, this Teemo’s car is a used car?! (Old version)
“Isn’t this Jono Naoto?”
“I heard he’s a hot new cartoonist this year.”
Someone said this when they saw the images playing on TV.
Another person echoed this sentiment: “My friend is an editor at Kodansha, and he told me that even though this year saw the first Best Prize, and several veteran manga artists submitted their work, the overall quality was very poor, with only a few good titles. Among them was this manga by Jono Naoto, which many editors were very optimistic about.”
“Haha, if Mr. Shirono Naoto wins the award, I guess it will be on Ms. Niaoyu’s comic wall, right?”
Someone looked at the pyramid-like bookshelf on the comic book wall, his eyes stopped at the empty space at the top, revealing a look of longing.
“Mr. Shirono? I’ve met him a few times. He’s much better looking in person than on TV. If he wins the award, with a little marketing, his future is limitless.”
“Maybe it can even attract a lot of female fans of all ages to join the comic army.”
“It’s great to be handsome… I want to be handsome too…”
Everyone was talking at once, completely forgetting the women who had just been fighting for the right to be “husband”.
Instead, they all looked envious.
Not only is he handsome, but he also draws comics well and he’s only 23 years old.
“Actually, I think the other one is pretty good too.” Chu Qingfeng suddenly said.
“Which book are you talking about?” Everyone at the bar was attracted by Chu Qingfeng’s different opinion.
They all leaned their hands on the solid wood bar, stretched their necks forward and turned their heads to look at Chu Qingfeng, who had a different opinion.
Yurika Nyoha also looked at him with a smile on her face.
“Brother Xiaofeng, do you have a different opinion?”
“Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what’s going on.”
“I think Your Lie in April is also very good.” Chu Qingfeng introduced it calmly without blushing or beating his heart, as if he was not promoting his comics.
In fact, it is not his comic.
But after coming to this world, who dares to say it is not? Who can prove that it is not Chu Qingfeng’s?
Chu Qingfeng would only shut up if someone said something like, “I always feel like I’m living under his shadow.”
After hearing Chu Qingfeng’s story about Your Lie in April, someone immediately picked up their phone and opened Kodansha’s official website to check the list of nominees for the Manga Awards.
It took quite a bit of effort to find Your Lie in April from a list of a hundred selected books.
When they saw his pen name, everyone looked unhappy.
“printer?”
“Isn’t this pen name too bad?”
“Who is this person?”
“I don’t know, maybe he’s a new cartoonist.”
“This is the new cartoonist. I searched online and couldn’t find him at all.”
“Oh~ Naoto Shirono is a newcomer, but with a talent like Naoto Shirono in this class, it would be hard to compete even with a good work, right?” The person who claimed to be his friend and an editor at Kodansha retorted.
On one side are talented people who are currently being interviewed and are favored by many editors; on the other side are newcomers who are unknown and even have very perfunctory pen names.
Anyone would feel that the winner has been decided.
Everyone was talking at once, discussing “You Lie in April”, and there was absolutely no possibility of winning.
Chu Qingfeng ignored it and looked at Toba Yurika across the bar.
“Miss Niaoyu, what do you think?”
Nyoha Yurika rested her elbows on the table, her chin resting on her palms. After a moment’s thought, she replied, “If this unknown new manga artist named Printer can defeat a genius like Jono Naoto, I will definitely add the hardcover copy to my comic book wall and give him three months of unlimited drinks.”
After Yurika Nyoba finished speaking, someone also placed a bet.
“Let’s raise the stakes. If this new cartoonist called Printer wins the Grand Prize, I’ll stand on my hands and eat five pounds of shit!”
For a moment, the whole place was silent, and everyone had only one thought in their minds.
Is it such a big deal?
Awesome!
In contrast, Chu Qingfeng just watched silently this time. He wanted to refute, but then he heard someone say that he wanted to eat shit.
Still five pounds.
He couldn’t help but sigh, who is this greedy boy!
So I recorded a video, what if it satisfied him?
3 a.m.
The customers in the coffee bar left one after another.
Yurika Nyoha was also cleaning up, ready to get off work at any time.
At this time.
She found a woman with short blond hair lying in the corner of the guest area.
She was wearing a black OL outfit, her cheeks were slightly flushed, her beautiful eyes were closed, and she was lying alone in a corner booth where no one cared, as if she had been forgotten by the world.
“Ah, how come this person is lying here alone? It’s really a headache.”
“We have to find a way to wake her up…”
There was helplessness on Yurika Nyoha’s pretty face.
But he was a customer after all, and he was drunk alone in her shop.
It is reasonable and moral to provide help.
“Miss?”
“Miss? Are you okay?”
Nyoha Yurika gently shook the woman’s shoulders, but it was of no use.
Then she turned around, went to the bar, and got a cup of hot water.
This action caught Chu Qingfeng’s attention as he was about to say hello and leave. “What is this?”
“Oh, there’s a drunk lady. I’ll pour her a glass of water.”
“Yeah, he’s alone, dressed like a white-collar worker. Maybe he encountered something unpleasant at work, so he went out to get drunk alone.”
Yurika Nyoha shook her head and hurriedly walked towards the woman with hot water.
Chu Qingfeng also looked in the direction she went curiously, but saw a familiar figure.
Xiaodianyou!
Wasn’t she at the training camp? Why was she in Nerima getting drunk?
A few days ago, Xiao Dianyou said that he was going to another company to learn advanced experience and would be away for a few days. He could not be contacted, so he left a few photos of his sisters as compensation for his departure.
Chu Qingfeng almost forgot about this extremely curvy girl.
He followed Niao Yu Yurika and said, “Ms. Yurika, I know her, let me take care of her.”
“Eh?!”
Yurika Nyoha’s eyes were complicated, with surprise and deep loss.
Didn’t you say that there is no one of the opposite sex you can talk to?
Why did you take care of him directly?
Chu Qingfeng saw the look in Niaoyu Yurika’s eyes and explained lightly, “It was thanks to her help that I submitted my work to Kodansha last time.”
“This can be considered as repaying her.”
After hearing Chu Qingfeng’s explanation, Niaoyu Yurika nodded with an expression that said, “I see.”
Then he asked for some more details before handing her over to Chu Qingfeng with confidence. “Then, Brother Xiaofeng, I’ll leave Miss Xiaodianyou in your care.”
After saying this, Thyme turned and left. After all, she still had a lot of work to do.
“Well, go ahead and get busy. See you tomorrow.” Chu Qingfeng nodded, put his arm around Xiaodianyou’s slender waist, and walked out.
It smells of alcohol and has a faint fragrance.
My heart is pounding.
To be honest, he hasn’t had a good meal of meat in the past few days.
No evidence was found in the convenience store, and the landlady’s calves trembled every time she saw him these days. She closed the door in fear and dared not come out.
As for Oka Matsumae – distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
Ever since the last time, Iida Ayano has been using the excuse that her aunt is coming to visit her house.
This is really frustrating.
Now, I met Xiao Dianyou by chance again.
I have to say, God is still very good to him.
The black stiletto high heels made a heart-wrenching sound as they stepped on the floor tiles.
“Where am I going?”
“You… who are you?!”
“Let go…let go…of me…no, don’t…”
Xiao Dianyou staggered along the road, dazed and talking drunkenly incoherently.
He pulled hard with both hands, mumbling, “Wait, wait a minute.”
“I have a boyfriend…I, I have a boyfriend…”
Chu Qingfeng felt a tightness in his heart as he listened to Xiao Dianyou talking.
Holy shit, is this a used car?!
Chapter 44: Your sister vomited like that, is she okay? (Old version)
“You said you have a boyfriend?”
Chu Qingfeng supported Xiao Dianyou, and his slender hands stroked her slender waist.
His father couldn’t accept that the car in front of him was second-hand.
“He, he’s a cartoonist, a really good one.”
sharp?
Could it be that damn genius named Naoto Jono who was on TV just now?
Impossible…
But it’s hard to explain, after all, this woman’s motive for approaching him was not pure.
However, Xiao Dianyou’s next words proved her innocence.
“He’s only 21 years old, and the editor calls him a genius. He’s even better than that guy named Jono Naoto.”
Yeah?
Generally ranked third in the world.
He raised a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth and lifted Xiao Dianyou’s delicate chin.
I saw a slightly messy head of long, golden hair, half covering a gentle and charming face.
The corners of her round almond-shaped eyes droop slightly, her nose is softly lined, and her full lips have a cherry blossom-colored sheen.
The most eye-catching thing is the light brown teardrop mole under the corner of the eye, which adds a unique flavor to this face that looks like a wife.
“Then look at who I am?”
“Huh? You? Who is it?” Xiao Dianyou was in a daze. She tried hard to steady herself and opened her beautiful eyes.
What comes into view is a sunny and handsome face, with a pair of deep eyes that seem to hide thousands of stars.
She would recall this face every night. Every sleepless night she had to rely on this face and its dexterous hands to force herself to fall asleep, so she was very familiar with it.
“Chu…Chu Jun?!”
Xiao Dianyou was a little bit unbelievable. She didn’t expect that she would meet the person she had been thinking about day and night.
This must be a dream, right?
Yes, it must be, right?
Xiao Dianyou shook her head dizzily, but this action made her even more drunk.
Her legs wrapped in hiss rubbed against each other unconsciously, her stiletto heels suddenly tilted, and she staggered forward without standing firmly.
“careful.”
A pair of warm big hands held her firmly.
Xiao Dianyou raised her misty eyes, and her sparkling eyes met a handsome face with clear-cut edges.
She suddenly smiled foolishly, put her soft palms on the other person’s cheeks, and rubbed them up and down like kneading dough.
This, it seems, is Lord Chu!
Xiao Dianyou was very sure! This face, that touch must be the Chu Qingfeng she had been thinking about day and night!
“Chu Jun, it’s really you!”
“That’s great. I, I missed you so much.”
“Did you miss me?”
Xiao Dianyou threw herself into Chu Qingfeng’s arms. She had a purpose in mind from the beginning, but now that she has completely become his shape, everything has changed.
“Of course I do. How is your sister?” Chu Qingfeng put his big hand on Xiao Dianyou’s little head and asked softly.
“She…she’s not feeling well at all. She misses Chu Jun so much.”
“You quarrel with me every day and make me lose sleep. Look, look.”
Xiaodian raised her head and pointed at the black circle on her body, feeling very aggrieved.
He looked like he was complaining and seeking credit at the same time.
It’s true, sometimes when he didn’t see Xiao Dianyou, the naughty and spitting little female devil sister, he felt a mixture of love and hate for her.
Firstly, the other person is really cute, and secondly, spitting all the time is not a good habit.
If she doesn’t change this, the caregiver will really beat her when she gets old.
“Your sister is really something… She’s still the same.”
“Shall we take a walk? And help you sober up?”
Chu Qingfeng changed the subject, held her hand, and walked forward without giving her any chance to refute.
Although Xiao Dianyou would not refuse, he just wanted to be tough now.
The sound of high heels doesn’t seem so loud in the noisy night, but every hit still hits my heart.
Meow meow meow~The sound of cats echoes in my ears.
Passing through the bustling night market, the noise suddenly fades away.
Heading west, we arrived at a park not far away.
The park is very large with a very high greening rate. There is also a plastic sports track that surrounds the park.
The plastic track glows matte under the street lights, like a ribbon wrapped around the grass and trees.
During the day, this place is a playground for housewives pushing baby strollers, and in the evening, it is a great place for nearby residents to take a walk.
But it’s almost 4 a.m. now, and I guess no one will come.
In the quiet night, the street lights emit a soft warm light.
The two of them walked slowly in the park.
The scenery at night is also unique.
A cool breeze blew, and Shinoda Yu hugged him tighter.
It made him, who was already full of energy, want to soar to the sky.
And it’s free.
Why not wait any longer?
Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can’t!
He looked around and everything was just right.
“How about we sit here for a while?”
Sit for a while?
What are you doing sitting here?
Xiao Dianyou followed Chu Qingfeng’s gaze towards a bench under a big tree.
Are we going to camp here?
But how do you camp without a tent?
tent?!
Xiao Dianyou hummed and was led by Chu Qingfeng’s hand to walk under the tree.
I walked to the tree, passed the bench, stepped over the dense bushes, and stopped at a grassy area with crisp green leaves.
“Chu Jun, how about we go back?”
“Or I can go to a hotel. I want to sleep in a bed, not experience close contact with nature.”
Xiao Dianyou suggested weakly.
“Hmm…be good. Spending more time in nature will free you up. You must have encountered some difficulties drinking alone in the bar today, right?”
“What we need most at this time is to put aside the worries of work and return to the embrace of nature.”
Chu Qingfeng took off his thin coat, spread it on the ground, then lay down with his hands under his head, motioning Xiao Dianyou to come and feel it too.
Xiao Dianyou sighed. She had indeed encountered many unpleasant things during her studies these days.
This led to her serious internal friction, and she aimlessly went to a bar with many family members to get drunk.
Xiao Dianyou took off her high heels and stepped on the soft but slightly prickly grass, then followed Chu Qingfeng’s example and lay down beside him.
After lying down for a while, she emptied herself and felt extremely relaxed.
Chu Qingfeng patted her head and smiled, “Since you are not happy with your work, I will try to persuade you today.”
Xiao Dianyou breathed rapidly, “Here? What if there’s someone here?”
“Don’t worry, there will be no one else attending the class except you during this time.”
After hearing Chu Qingfeng’s words, Xiao Dianyou no longer hesitated.
Able to listen to the great scholars’ teachings.
What else is she hesitating about?
soon.
The introduction is over.
Under the big tree, the soft light shines on the leaves, casting mottled shadows.
In the early morning, a cool breeze blew, and the leaves danced in the air, making crisp rustling sounds.
Bring a touch of vivid color to the quiet earth.
However, this tranquility was soon broken. Some naughty kid didn’t sleep in the middle of the night and secretly came out to set off firecrackers, which made a continuous crackling sound.
Apparently there were at least ten thousand firecrackers.
Not long after, two girls came running slowly from a distance.
They were wearing tight sportswear and were obviously out for a morning run.
Even this time is too early!
It’s just 5 o’clock.
Hearing the sound in the woods, the two girls were startled and looked at each other.
“Ju-chan, is that the sound you said was over there?”
“I, I don’t know…”
“Hey, you’re really something. You clearly don’t know anything, but I still ask you.”
The two of them left while playing with each other, but Yu Guang kept coming back.
I really want to go in and take a look.
I don’t know what the scenery is like.
But in the end, the two of them adjusted their breathing, sweated, and jogged away.
Chu Qingfeng had no idea what was happening outside until the sky began to turn pale.
It was not until Chu Qingfeng stood under the tree and looked into the distance, and saw the sky was turning pale, that he asked in a fake tone:
“Miss, is your sister okay? She vomited like that…”
ps: I want free gifts, flowers, and evaluation tickets, please. Give them to me, give them all to me～～～
Chapter 45: Driving the ball up the court is my only bargaining chip (old version)
Xiao Dianyou opened her eyes with difficulty and asked in a hoarse voice:
“You really don’t treat me as a human being…”
Chu Qingfeng smiled and hugged her as they walked out, “Just tell me if it’s fun or not.”
At this time, Xiao Dianyou, who was chewing corn, had sobered up.
Eaten till only the corn cob is left.
Chu Qingfeng then helped Xiao Dianyou walk out.
Perhaps it was because she had spent a night close to nature last night, Xiao Dianyou, who was used to sleeping on a soft bed, felt like her body was about to fall apart.
She is shaking even when she walks now.
“It’s nice, but I’m thinking about buying some bird’s nest, sea cucumber, and Kobe beef to replenish my energy…”
Hearing this, Chu Qingfeng smiled faintly, and suddenly thought of a sentence: “We have a famous saying in Dongda, which is to make up for what you lack.”
“For example, in Chinese medicine, you are weak and need to be replenished.”
Chu Qingfeng’s hands became restless.
then.
Xiao Dianyou asked very innocently: “Then how should I make up for it now?”
“Just eat more high-quality protein.”
Chu Qingfeng said as he looked down at his pants.
Hmm…a little dirty.
Xiao Dianyou was originally very confused. What kind of high-quality protein is it? Isn’t the protein from beef and eggs high enough?
When she followed Chu Qingfeng’s gaze downward.
I understood it instantly!
“Then…can we not eat that this time?” Xiao Dianyou half-knelt on the spot and looked up at the tall figure.
There is tension and anticipation.
“Oh, you, of course you can.”
Chu Qingfeng agreed readily, but took out an umbrella.
Seven o’clock in the morning.
Chu Qingfeng helped Xiao Dianyou get into a taxi and then he went home himself.
After getting in the car, Xiao Dianyou looked unhappy.
Her brows were furrowed, unlike the way she tried to please Chu Qingfeng just now. Now she looked extremely anxious.
“Please drive faster, I have something urgent to do, please!”
The taxi sped along.
Soon they arrived downstairs of Xiaodianyou’s house.
After paying, she threw down two bills without even asking for change, got off the car in a hurry, and ran home.
From the moment she approached Chu Qingfeng, she regarded Chu Qingfeng as her investment target.
But I only have a good-looking appearance, nothing else.
She had a hunch that a genius like Chu Qingfeng would definitely shine at this comic award.
But you don’t have many chips, so it is important to increase your chips by dribbling the ball!
Return home.
She quickly took off her shoes, ran to the bathroom, and hugged the toilet to vomit frantically.
Ten minutes later, there was the sound of a flushing toilet.
Xiao Dianyou found a yoga mat and lay down on it without even changing her clothes.
Then she used her hands to do a handstand against the wall.
She had done this set of movements last time she went home, but it was very obvious.
It didn’t work.
She was very confident that she would succeed this time, after all, she had spit out a lot of solution.
She stood upside down and remained in this position without moving.
Then he took out his cell phone and asked for leave from his supervisor.
After turning off the phone, she thought about how she almost went there last night, and murmured to herself: “This time, I must succeed. With this bargaining chip, even if Chu Jun has more beauties, he will not ignore me.”
The other side.
After a tiring night, Chu Qingfeng returned home.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw breakfast and a letter on the table.
Chu Qingfeng smiled when he saw the content of the letter.
The content is roughly that Mei Lily is going out for half a month.
He knew very well that nothing was wrong with Mei Lily.
It’s obvious that he is afraid of his second brother.
However, Chu Qingfeng didn’t care too much.
What can he do with this talent?
System: Do you want to listen to what you are saying? I am asking you if I am a human being.
After breakfast, Chu Qingfeng took a shower and then fell into a deep sleep.
When the shortlist for the Manga Award is announced.
Kodansha Shonen Department, Monthly Shonen Magazine Editor-in-Chief’s Office.
Editor-in-chief San’ao Kameda frowned when he saw “Your Lie in April” on the list.
He called Tetsuya Sakata to his office and scolded him.
Tetsuya Sakata is indeed a veteran. When faced with the questioning of his boss, he simply acted like he knew nothing about anything.
After some investigation, Kameda San’ao discovered that “April Lie” was pushed forward by the editor-in-chief of the general department – the magazine EVENING, and he finally put his mind at ease.
In the editorial department, everyone knows that the head of the youth department and the head of the general department are not on good terms.
Since the result was pushed by the General Affairs Department, it has nothing to do with their group.
If Minister Shirono blames him in the future, it will not be his business as the editor-in-chief of a small monthly magazine.
Now that the list of judges has been determined, all he can do is wait quietly for the results.
In the comics world, especially as the selection and awards come from the three top publishing houses, it will cause a sensation.
Like Kodansha’s Manga Award and Shueisha’s Tezuka Award.
The professionalism, rigor and value of these awards are the highest and best.
The value of previous Manga Award winners was much lower than that of the Tezuka Award.
But this year, there is a Best Award, and Kodansha is also catching up with Shueisha.
Although it is still not as valuable as the Tezuka Award, for countless cartoonists this is the first hurdle to becoming a famous cartoonist.
After the Kodansha Manga Award shortlist was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of manga fans and practitioners, and the popular works appeared on the hot searches of Japanese Twitter several times.
The jury list will be announced on the last day of the month.
The jury is led by the most prestigious and experienced veterans in the comics industry.
No one knows his real name.
Since the day he became a comics reviewer thirty years ago, he has been known as the raptor Iron Fist Eagle.
His true identity had long been lost in the tens of thousands of comic manuscripts he had handled and reviewed.
The Iron-Fisted Eagle is extremely strict and old-fashioned, and is known for being ruthless and not flattering anyone.
It is in line with Kodansha’s fair, just and strict selection requirements.
The remaining six seats are occupied by various government and industry leaders.
It was the first day of August.
Kodansha’s latest August issue is also on sale.
In order to promote Naoto Jono’s works, he has been active on the screen.
With her outstanding temperament, she has attracted many fans.
At the same time, in the journal, Naoto Jono’s work was also cut in half.
Therefore, relying on huge amounts of publicity and the good quality of the works themselves.
In Kodansha’s August monthly magazine, both the discussion and the monthly publication were very high.
The popularity ranked among the top three topics on major social platforms. On the day of the release of the August issue of Monthly Shonen Magazine, thanks to Naoto Jono’s popularity, it sold 200,000 copies, and exceeded 400,000 copies in just five days.
According to this sales trend chart, the number of issues of Monthly Shonen Magazine in August is at least two million!
Such an achievement is also top-notch in sales every month over the years.
As time goes by, there is more and more discussion about comic appreciation.
Among them, Naoto Jono’s works are the most mentioned and popular ones due to their early publicity.
At this time, April’s Lie is still beautiful alone in a corner where no one cares about it, and there is no heated discussion on the Internet.
Chapter 46: One point difference! (Old version)
On August 1st, Kodansha’s Manga Award officially entered a week-long closed review phase.
The seven judges brought their luggage and moved directly into the specially prepared judging floor on the top floor of the Kodansha building. During this week, the entire floor will become a closed space, and no one can go up except the food truck.
Likewise, the judges will not have any contact with the outside world.
The winning works will be announced directly to the public on the second day after the judging is completed.
No one will know the list of winners before then.
Moreover, Kodansha’s IP Division has already begun preparing for cartoonists who may win the award since the 1st.
This includes recording creative interviews in advance, shooting promotional covers and creating momentum on the Internet, etc.
Chu Qingfeng is the lifeline of the general department’s magazine EVENING. These days, he has also received invitations and adjusted his schedule to go to Kodansha whenever he has time.
Every time I go to Kodansha, I will talk to Ayano Iida in depth about comics.
Xing Ai’s proficiency has also increased a lot.
More importantly, Iida Ayano’s attitude towards Chu Qingfeng gradually changed, from the initial inner resistance to the current gradual familiarity.
But you’ll get tired of eating white rice every day.
He would occasionally go downstairs to look for Xiao Dianyou.
In the evening, I still go to Yurika Nyoha’s bar to chat with her.
The relationship between the two is getting better and better, and sometimes when they are tired, they can rest on the sofa in the staff lounge.
Niaoyu Yurika did not blame him at all, and would quietly squat beside him and watch Chu Qingfeng when she was free.
On the evening of August 7, Chu Qingfeng dragged his tired body to the bar, opened the door of the staff lounge and fell asleep.
In a daze, I felt a piece of clothing covering me.
There is a faint fragrance in the slurry, which is the unique smell of Chuzi.
Chu Qingfeng opened his eyes slightly. The light in the staff lounge was bright, and a delicate and lovely face was in full view.
She bent down and gently covered him with clothes.
The movements were quick and without any teasing, without any erotic elements, and simply displayed the pure and kind beauty of human nature.
But all this looked completely different from Chu Feng’s perspective as he lay on the sofa.
His heart was surging and filled with warmth.
Especially the Great Leiyin Temple of Yurika Nyoha is so fascinating that she wants to take her brothers there for a trip as soon as possible.
However, he has been really tired recently.
At Kodansha, she has to take care of Iida Ayano and Xiaodianyou, and then she has to work part-time at a convenience store.
He also has to keep an eye on Dong Yuexiu to see if she reveals any flaws so that he can capture her in one fell swoop. When he gets home at night, he has to chat with Matsumae Ouka and Hoshi Yuuna online to maintain their good impressions.
The whole day was packed with activities.
The reason why he was able to hold on until now was entirely due to the proficiency function of the system and avoided sudden death.
If it were someone else, even if they didn’t die suddenly, their body would have been hollowed out long ago.
After waking up again, he hung up his clothes, walked out of the staff room, ordered a drink from the bar, drank it, and said, “I’m leaving.”
“Huh? You seem still very sleepy?” Nyoha Yurika put down the work in her hands and looked at him with concern. She said kindly, “If you don’t mind sleeping a little longer, it’s okay. I’ll wake you up later.”
“No, I’ll come back tomorrow.”
“Well, okay, see you tomorrow, Chu Jun.”
Yurika Nyoba smiled sweetly, nodded goodbye to him, and then continued to work.
“Oh, I forgot something.”
“Remember to check Kodansha’s manga award announcement tomorrow.”
“Of course I remember this kind of thing.” Nyoha Yurika pursed her lips slightly, and her fingertips inadvertently curled the ends of her hair.
She suddenly blinked and her tongue playfully brushed across her lips.
In an instant, the shrewdness and competence of a career woman and the agility of a girl were perfectly blended in her.
When all the comics fans were discussing whether Naoto Jono would be the winner of the Best Prize, a 21-year-old young man with the pen name Printer successfully won the Best Prize of this year’s comics award with his book Your Lie in April!
Become the biggest dark horse of the year.
As soon as this news came out, the entire comics industry was shocked.
However, Lie in April’s road to winning awards was not smooth.
The most appropriate description is “twists and turns”.
The entire 7-day review period is divided into three steps.
In the first step, the judges will select 20 works from 100 works.
The second step is to score the 20 works again and rank them according to the average score of the last seven scores. The top ten will advance and be selected for the Best Award while also receiving the Comics Award.
The third step is to conduct a final evaluation among the remaining ten works and select the most commendable one.
According to the previous review process, the selection work will usually be finalized on the fifth day.
But the rules changed this year.
It is necessary to select only one best work from among many excellent works.
This sudden change caused the jury’s debate to continue until the early morning of the eighth day, less than five hours before the final list was announced.
The focus of the debate is extremely sharp: should the crown be awarded to “You Lie in April”, which ranks first in average score, or to Naoto Jono’s work, which ranks second with only a difference of 1 point?
The three judges from the Ministry of Culture clearly supported Naoto Jono.
As the official agency in charge of domestic cultural affairs, religious exchanges and other matters, the Ministry of Culture also has jurisdiction over the comics industry.
Normally, as long as it doesn’t touch upon issues of principle, the other judges will give the official representatives some face.
However, at this moment, as the deadline drew closer, the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense.
All of this stems from the almost paranoid insistence of the jury chairman, “Iron Eagle”.
This living fossil of the comics world has maintained an awe-inspiring purity for thirty years.
His comments are as sharp as a scalpel and his style is so upright that it is almost cruel.
Chapter 47: Twists and turns, a decisive sentence (old version)
There is a breathtaking story circulating in the industry:
At a new talent appreciation meeting, he criticized his son’s work harshly in public.
As a result, his son suffered from depression and eventually committed suicide by burning charcoal in his car.
The pain of losing his son not only did not soften his edge, but instead made his paranoia even sharper.
He regards ruthlessness as a professional ethics and rigidity as the industry criterion.
What makes the Ministry of Culture even more helpless is that this old man has never been involved in any literary creation and only exists as a critic.
Without any weaknesses, there is no need to fear any threats.
The Iron-Fisted Eagle rested his hands on the review table, his knuckles tapping against the surface with a dull sound.
His hawk-like eyes swept over everyone present, finally settling on the three judges from the Ministry of Culture.
“The Grand Prize isn’t a favor.” His voice was hoarse but powerful. “Naoto Jono’s work is technically proficient, but ‘You Lie in April’ is the one that truly moved readers. A one-point difference? When it comes to art, even tenths of a point should matter.”
The air in the conference room seemed to freeze.
The judge from the Cultural Affairs Bureau frowned and pushed his glasses up:
“Senior, Jono’s work is more in line with the direction of cultural revitalization and has a better purpose than the comics created by that young man called Printer. I don’t deny that Your Lie in April is a good work, but its tragic ending will always have a bad impact on readers. Moreover…”
“Enough! Comics aren’t brochures!” Iron-Fisted Eagle slammed his hands on the table, causing the teacup to clink. “Thirty years ago, when I joined the industry, our predecessors at the Ministry of Culture were still fighting for comics’ cultural status. Now you want to force it back into the box?”
In the corner, the young recorder held his breath.
She saw Eagle pull out several yellowed letters from readers from his briefcase.
The top one has a postmark from twenty years ago.
“These were sent to me by readers when ‘Snow Country Boy’ wasn’t selected.” Old Eagle’s voice suddenly softened. “If I had given in to the balance back then, I wouldn’t be able to face these people who truly love comics now.”
“I keep them in my briefcase at all times to remind me what I do!”
“A good work shouldn’t be constrained by worldly concerns, and it didn’t make any mistakes. Just because it ended in tragedy, does it mean it doesn’t deserve first place? That’s absolutely nonsense!”
After hearing this, the judges representing the Ministry of Culture could only smile bitterly.
“Mr. Eagle insists on giving the highest award to April’s Lie?” a judge confirmed cautiously.
“That’s right.”
Eagle’s knuckles knocked against the title page of the final chapter of the comic, and the paper made a dull echo.
He stared at the last page of the sketch, which contained the final letter from Miyazono Kaoru, and his voice suddenly sank into the deep pool of memories:
“For the past decade, the entire industry has been producing sweet anesthetics. Those canned laugh-out-loud romantic comedies are like the endless supply of strawberry daifuku at convenience stores—cloyingly sweet but leaving no trace.”
The judge who asked the question unconsciously opened the work again.
Flowing between the ink marks is the carefully woven tragic aesthetics.
In the shattered world of the piano boy, a girl full of lies suddenly broke in.
She concealed the countdown of her life with a fake cheerful smile, but let every reader hear the sound of the hourglass ticking behind the smile.
This regret is refined so purely by the author:
When Kousei played “The Sadness of Love” in the rain, all readers became the boy who missed the confession forever.
The unexpressed love for you and the dates that were cut short by the diagnosis sheet eventually solidified into a regretful youth that will never be forgotten in my heart.
Eagle suddenly took off his glasses, and the ceiling light in the conference room cast spider-web-like shadows across his wrinkles:
“Do you know what the most brilliant tragedy is?”
“It’s about making the reader, when they turn the last page, suddenly remember that there was such an unfinished chapter in their own life.”
Outside the window, the morning light is gradually eroding the night.
Distance to the final announcement——
Only four hours left!
Several judges put down the manuscripts in their hands and calmed down their emotions.
Seeing this tangled scene, the official from the Department of Culture was still trying to argue. He said:
“We’re both new manga artists, but Jono Naoto’s work has been hyped for days, and now suddenly someone like Your Lie in April comes out and wins the Best Picture. I’m afraid your reputations will be affected too, right?”
The judge representing the Ministry of Culture hit the nail on the head.
yes.
Naoto Jono has been active on social media platforms these days and has been appearing frequently.
When it comes to the interview program that has been arranged, I almost say “I am the best award” in advance.
Moreover, many readers gave high praise to his works after reading them, and many of them became his fans and were waiting for the jury to directly announce that Naoto Jono won the best prize.
At this time, the best award was suddenly given to a work that had no hype and no traffic.
God knows what those readers will do.
As soon as these words were spoken, the judges’ expressions immediately became conflicted.
Many people are already gray-haired. At their age, there is really nothing to fight for except fame.
And what is the most important thing in this review industry?
reputation!
But it’s the kind of reputation that’s not wrong.
April is excellent, but aren’t Naoto Jono’s works excellent?
Of course it is excellent and it has received positive feedback from the market.
Let me ask you, which one is beyond doubt: a work that has been tested by the market or a work that has only been tested by seven judges?
To be on the safe side, it is natural to choose the former which has been tested by the market without thinking!
Even though April was later found to be excellent, we can only say that it was a battle of gods…
And if the works selected have not been tested by the market and perform poorly in the future and are not accepted by the market, I wonder how many people will come to scold the jury for having no vision and not copying the answers even though they were left on the table.
The room was silent.
Everyone’s eyes were on the judges from the Ministry of Culture, and their hearts were already tilting towards Naoto Shirono.
At this time, the Iron-Fisted Eagle suddenly spoke and looked at the officials from the Ministry of Culture, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
“If word gets out that you chose your own nephew as the winner, wouldn’t that be a bigger blow to your reputation?”
As soon as he said this, he won the game.
At this moment, whether the judges are still hesitating or have already made a decision, they can only choose April’s Lie.
Including judges representing the Ministry of Culture.
Chapter 48: Even if I have to be a dog, I must keep him! (Old version)
The news that Your Lie in April finally won the award quickly caused a sensation in the comics industry.
The first to be affected was of course Kodansha.
Youth Department.
The editors-in-chief of various journals, heads of youth departments, and key editors gathered in the conference room. Everyone looked very solemn as they watched the live broadcast initiated by the jury on the Internet announcing the list of winners.
Naoto Jono is the main work of the youth department.
The Youth Club has overtly and covertly invested most of its publicity and promotional resources on Naoto Jono.
In order to promote Naoto Jono, Monthly Shonen even ended the manga at the most exciting part.
Thanks to the huge publicity and promotion traffic, August Monthly Shonen Magazine sold 400,000 copies in less than a week.
As of today, the 8th, total sales have reached 500,000 copies, which is much higher than the sales figures of previous years.
The original idea of the editor-in-chief of Monthly Shonen, Mitsuo Kameda, was to let Naoto Jono’s work carry the limelight of the best prize, publish the Takatoma section in the September monthly magazine, and create a sales peak in one fell swoop.
This can be considered as submitting a perfect answer.
But now it seems that he underestimated April Lie.
Now, it’s not just a matter of damaged sales plans.
As the lifeline of the general magazine EVENING, “You’re My Love in April” will certainly spare no effort in promoting this work.
How to prevent the General Department’s EVENING from making a comeback became the topic of today’s meeting.
At the end of the conference table, the head of the Youth Department, Jonosuke, slowly took off his glasses.
This industry veteran, known as a vulture, was now scanning every editor present with a hawk-like gaze.
“It seems that our plan needs to be adjusted. Everyone, please share your opinions.”
“Kameda-kun, you speak first.”
“Yes, I think…” Kameda San’ao stood up and kept expressing his opinions and ideas.
Tetsuya Sakata sat in the back, listening to the minister and several editors’ proposals, with a hint of worry in his eyes…
Internal struggles in large companies have always been like this. Sometimes they will never stop fighting until both sides are dead.
And in the EVENING office of the General Affairs Department journal.
Before the live broadcast to announce the list of winners, everyone had already sat down at their workstations, their eyes fixed on the computer screen.
With each passing minute, Iida Ayano’s heart grew more nervous.
Even after putting on makeup, you can still see faint dark circles under her eyes.
These days, not only do I have to meet Chu Qingfeng’s various requirements, but I also have to go to work as usual.
In addition, while waiting for the results of the selection, she felt even more anxious than when she was waiting for the results of the interview.
Today is finally the 8th!
The results of the selection will be announced soon.
Regardless of the outcome, Iida Ayano has no choice. Her career or the continued existence of the entire EVENING depends on April’s Lie.
To be honest, she herself felt that her chances of winning the best prize were slim. After all, Naoto Jono, who was supported by the Shonen Division, had works with high quality, high traffic, and high publicity, so it was unlikely that he would win.
They are promoting it in accordance with the super standards of the best award.
Even though the monthly magazine only published content featuring Gao Chaoqian, the sales of Monthly Shonen Magazine in the first week of August were half as much as in previous years.
Reaching an astonishing 500,000 copies!
If the magazine can continue to release a high-ranking plot based on the success of the award, the monthly magazine sales will definitely reach the highest peak this year and even in the past five years.
This result can probably be compared with Shueisha’s monthly magazine of the same series.
Comparing “You Lie in April” with “Resource Tilt Monster,” to be honest, Iida Ayano doesn’t have any confidence at all.
But she felt that her most anticipated result was that “Your Lie in April” could be included in the comic award.
In this way, even if EVENING is suspended indefinitely, she can still bring high-quality cartoonists like Chu Qingfeng to other magazines.
The prerequisite is that she must use all means to keep Chu Qingfeng working with her and not let him be snatched away by other editors.
When the live broadcast officially began and the seven judges appeared in the live broadcast room, Iida Ayano couldn’t help but close her eyes.
At this moment, she was extremely nervous and her heart beat at its limit.
Boom boom boom…….
My heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it would jump out of my chest in the next second.
“The winners of the 47th Kodansha Manga Awards are as follows…”
The names were read out one after another.
From time to time, cheers could be heard from the offices of various journal editors.
The editors in the EVENING office were staring at the screen, hoping that their cartoonists would also have their works shortlisted for the comic award.
After reading out the last work that won the comic award, the judges on the screen took out the next neatly folded piece of paper.
As the document was opened, everyone’s throat was raised.
They all fantasized that maybe this work was created by themselves?
This also applies to Iida Ayano.
At this moment, she crossed her hands and clasped them tightly, her palms full of sweat.
“Winner of the 1st Kodansha Grand Prix – Your Lie in April!”
Hearing the sound coming from the speakers, Iida Ayano felt her head buzzing. She was stunned for a moment and even had tinnitus.
Instantly, Zizi——
She couldn’t hear anything, and the words of the Best Award winner – Your Lie in April kept echoing in her mind.
It wasn’t until her senior, the editor-in-chief of EVENING, shook her body and called out “Editor Iida” that she suddenly woke up.
At this moment, several editors from EVENING had complicated emotions in their eyes.
When he saw her looking at him, the expression on his face changed instantly and he smiled.
But that smile was forced, tinged with envy and a hint of jealousy.
How could such enormous wealth be picked up by a newcomer who had only been here for a year?
“Iida! From now on, you must put all your current tasks on hold and prioritize connecting with Teacher Chu.”
The EVENING editor-in-chief said solemnly, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Iida Ayano became one of unprecedented respect.
And Iida Ayano can have all this thanks to Chu Qingfeng.
“Teacher Chu…” Iida Ayano didn’t react for a moment, and her tilted head seemed to be a little stagnant.
I didn’t realize what was happening for a moment.
Soon she restarted successfully and remembered who Teacher Chu was.
At the same time, I kept asking myself: Did I hear it right? Did I hear it right?
That man actually did it—the best reward.
Kodansha’s first Best Award!
The EVENING editor-in-chief smiled with satisfaction and continued, “Go and urge Teacher Chu.”
Blow it once? Blow it again?
No! You have to brag about it. If you don’t, what if he gets seduced by another charming editor?
In the future, I will have to cater to him even more and satisfy him even more.
Even if it’s a female dog, I have to keep him!
“Iida, are you listening?”
“Ah? What?” Iida Ayano asked confusedly.
The editor-in-chief rarely scolded him, but instead said softly:
“I’m saying that Mr. Chu needs you to go and urge him to write his acceptance speech. This needs to be published with the September issue. Also, you should urge him to draw some extra chapters to increase the popularity.”
“Editor Iida, Mr. Chu might be your destined benefactor. You must hold on to him tightly!”
In the last sentence, the editor’s hint is very obvious.
Iida Ayano nodded in a daze.
She also knows how much convenience and even opportunities an excellent cartoonist resource can bring to her career!
Perhaps in the near future, it will not be difficult for her to be promoted to deputy editor-in-chief or even editor-in-chief.
Of course, the prerequisite is still to be able to keep the excellent cartoonists under his command.
For example, Chu Qingfeng.
