Zongman: My wife is Yang No, and my son-in-law is Yukinoshita!

Because he didn’t want to work hard, the time traveler who used the name of Hanyu Shunsuke registered his marriage with the veteran sister control freak Yukinoshita Haruno.

In order to regain his manliness, Shunsuke Hanyu embarked on the path of a househusband.

But why? There are so many butterflies around him, and he has clearly told them that he is married! !

Yukinoshita Haruno: You are a bunch of vixens, how dare you snatch my man! All of you die!!

Kasumigaoka Utaha: Haruno, can you divorce Shunsuke?

Chitanda Eru: I was here first!

Chapter 1 My Wife is Yukinoshita Haruno
In the spring, during the Waking of Insects season, white cherry blossoms bloom for the first time this year in Chiba.
Shunsuke Hanyu walked slowly on the campus of Chiba University, admiring the unique mixture of youthfulness and maturity and the long white legs of the college students around him.
In the auditorium over there, the choir’s loud singing could be heard, and in the stadium on the right, the Business Administration Department and the Literature Department were fighting each other.
But none of this has anything to do with Shunsuke Hanyu. He came here just to meet someone and do something. Although he thinks this thing is probably impossible to accomplish, he has to give it a try before he gives up.
“What’s the matter with calling me so urgently?”
As soon as I stepped into the atrium where we had made the appointment, I heard the person I had made the appointment with asking.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked over there. This was the first time he looked at her since waking up. Although he had seen and read about her many times in his memory, he was still amazed by her beauty.
Yukinoshita Haruno, Hanyu Shunsuke’s wife? Or another word to describe a contract couple? It was the kind of routine that was very popular in Chinese romance novels in the 2000s that Hanyu Shunsuke remembered in his previous life, that is, fake couples who signed a contract; but generally speaking, they were the little wife of a domineering president, but here it was the opposite.
Shunsuke Hanyu is not from the political science and law department, but he thinks that the agreement that was witnessed by a lawyer and signed notarized recently should be effective.
He had been planning to say something, but when he saw her he felt that what he wanted to do would be impossible to succeed. However, since he was here he might as well say something.
“Can the agreement signed a few days ago be cancelled?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked directly.
When talking to Yukinoshita Haruno, if you are not direct and stick to her style, it is easy to be controlled by her words and small movements. She has a natural talent in socializing.
“Do you regret it?”
Yukinoshita Haruno lifted her hair behind her ear, tilted her head slightly to reveal her fair neck, and smiled.
“I just think there might be a better way to choose? Like self-struggle or something like that?”
Hanyu Shunsuke shrugged in a joking tone.
“We have already registered our marriage.”
Yukinoshita Haruno restrained her smile and looked at him indifferently.
She thought he was just joking? Who would have thought he really meant it? But wasn’t the decision he made before the best solution after careful consideration? Given this guy’s personality, it shouldn’t change, right?
“Well, I guess so.”
Shunsuke Hanyu tapped his forehead, and the pain pushed away some of his embarrassment.
A few days ago, Shunsuke Hanyu and Yukinoshita Haruno reached an agreement and signed a prenuptial agreement, which clearly stipulated various obligations and responsibilities, property division and other matters; there is no need to describe the obligations and responsibilities of both spouses. The only thing worth noting is that Shunsuke Hanyu and Yukinoshita Haruno did not enter into marriage because of true love.
This is an agreement reached based on the interests of both parties.
Yukinoshita Haruno is about to graduate and will officially take over the family business. Along with that comes the need for a husband. After all, in certain occasions, only men are most appropriate.
Shunsuke Hanyu is a young man who doesn’t want to struggle. He and Yukinoshita Haruno examined each other and signed a marriage agreement after careful consideration.
That was the previous Shunsuke Hanyu. The current Shunsuke Hanyu has regained the memories of his past life: Shunsuke Hanyu, a time traveler from China, had been dormant for more than 20 years after his rebirth, until a few days ago when his consciousness was revived. The two memories were mixed and influenced each other to form a completely new personality.
It is just dominated by the personality of the previous life.
“How’s your preparation for the graduation defense going?”
He began to change the subject.
“It went very smoothly.”
Yukinoshita Haruno withdrew her inquiring gaze.
Hanyu Shunsuke always felt that the relationship between the two sides was very awkward. Perhaps it was because both sides were rationalists that they signed an agreement that was ridiculous to others? After all, each side got what it wanted.
He was about to say goodbye. After all, this sudden meeting was an exploration and verification of his memory after he regained consciousness. Now that he had already obtained the result, there was no point in staying any longer.
“Would you like to go shopping together? Is this Shunsuke’s first time at Chiba University? Although it may not be as profound as the University of Tokyo, it is still very beautiful during the cherry blossom season.”
Yukinoshita Haruno extended an invitation.
“Um?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked.
“Don’t you think that we are too unfamiliar with each other? We don’t look like lovers at all, let alone newlyweds.”
Yukinoshita Haruno said.
After all, two people choose to register their marriage for the sake of their own interests. As for the feelings between the two parties? There is indeed a foundation. At least both parties have to have some affection for each other and not be disgusted with each other before they will consider such a thing.
But if you say how deep their feelings are, that is naturally impossible. After all, if their feelings are really deep, they would be real husband and wife.
“You make a lot of sense.”
Hanyu Shunsuke echoed.
In fact, Shunsuke Hanyu signed the agreement entirely after comprehensive considerations of his own and decided to sign this somewhat insulting agreement; for a man, marriage becoming a rope to climb up is already a huge blow to his self-esteem.
However, he had almost no relatives or connections, and apart from a few mentors at school or a few close friends, he had no social power to rely on as he came from an orphanage.
In such a situation, even if you graduated from the University of Tokyo, it is extremely difficult to cross the social class in Japan.
Registering for a fake marriage with Yukinoshita Haruno is a decision that can at least shorten twenty years of struggle. Although this decision will lead to many problems, it should have a positive effect on one’s life in terms of results.
This was what Shunsuke Hanyu had considered before, but after his memories before the time travel were awakened, Shunsuke Hanyu rejected this idea in just three seconds.
Because this is a parallel world, there are too many new things, but there are also too many things that have not appeared. He can easily find opportunities from such differences, making himself worry-free and even becoming a person with great influence, although the process may be unexpectedly difficult.
“So should we hold hands? Couples or husband and wife always walk hand in hand when they enjoy the cherry blossoms, right? That way it will be more meaningful.”
Hanyu Shunsuke teased with a smile, purely out of revenge for her calm and serious expression throughout the conversation.
“Let’s go, then.”
My wrist was suddenly grabbed, and I felt the cool yet soft touch of her palm.
Then we slowly climbed down, clasping our palms together, then interlocking our fingers.
They decided that both parties must behave in a manner consistent with their status in front of outsiders, and that any intimate contact resulting from this must be considered necessary behavior.
“If I don’t practice, I’m really afraid that one day you’ll come to me holding hands and I’ll instinctively turn you away.”
Yukinoshita Haruno said, meeting his puzzled gaze.
“I always feel like holding hands has changed its meaning.”
Hanyu Shunsuke shook his head in response.
“Psychological reactions always affect physical sensations.”
Yukinoshita Haruno explained.
At the beginning of March, the cherry blossom buds are already visible at Chiba University, and the green campus is full of lush grass and chirping birds.
But the two people holding hands always make people feel that they are not so compatible, even though they look like a perfect match at first glance.

The unique soft touch of a woman between his palms made Hanyu Shunsuke a little distracted. Whether in his previous life or this life, this was his first time holding hands with a girl.
He suddenly became interested in the specific physical forms of the biological gender differences between men and women. Should he go to the Science Department in a few days to ask about it?
Well, he just didn’t quite understand the situation.
Although the stories about the domineering president’s little wife that he had read in his previous life were too simplified and had low intelligence, and there would always be this kind of strange encounters because readers liked them, but when Shunsuke Hanyu searched his memories of this life about how he got along with Yukinoshita Haruno, he did not find any basis for it to unfold as it did today.
He always felt that their relationship would be the kind of relationship described by the ancient saying of treating each other with respect, without delving into the literal meaning or the extended meaning.
But~How much did Hanyu Shunsuke know about Yukinoshita Haruno? He suddenly laughed and felt like an eagle burping.
“What are you laughing at?”
Yukinoshita Haruno was very curious.
Her expression was calm, as if such contact did not cause any emotional fluctuations for her. However, if someone really knew her well, they would find that her smile was not a perfect 45-degree angle and there was a flaw.
“I always think that our current state is very interesting, isn’t it?”
Hanyu Shunsuke replied.
“It’s really interesting.”
Yukinoshita Haruno agreed, it was a brand new experience.
But what was even more interesting was the person in front of him who had suddenly changed drastically. Yukinoshita Haruno squinted her eyes and looked at his profile. Her deep gaze seemed to penetrate his skin and reach deep into his soul.
How could Yukinoshita Haruno not be fully prepared to sign such a marriage agreement with someone with whom she had no emotional foundation? She investigated, prepared, researched, and even invited psychologists and behavioral scientists to conduct personality inferences. She would not put her stamp on the agreement until she was sure that the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages and that even if something went wrong, it would be under her control.
But how could such a dramatic change occur in just a few days? Although it was somewhat out of control, I have to say it was very interesting.
“Junjie-kun has always been very careful with his words. He has never laughed for no reason before. It’s really funny.”
Yukinoshita Haruno added.
Shunsuke Hanyu, or to be more precise, Shunsuke Hanyu whose memory has not been restored, has indeed always been cautious and careful in managing his behavior, expressions, and words. This is determined and required by the society and one’s background. The lower one is, the more he needs to pay attention to every detail if he wants to climb up.
But after the memory was restored, everything changed.
“Marriage will bring about considerable changes to men. Generally speaking, before marriage, they are boys, and after marriage, they become men.”
Shunsuke Hanyu was talking nonsense.
“What I find interesting is that Yukinoshita-san’s attitude is so gentle. It’s a bit unexpected.”
Hanyu Shunsuke retorted.
“It’s very simple, because you have to go through it, right? You have to get familiar with each other slowly, and after meeting each other’s parents for a while, you will live together. Although it is indeed embarrassing, you have to take the first step.”
Yukinoshita Haruno laughed, but this time it seemed like she was hiding something.
Of course, the temptations, the search for fun, the cat’s curiosity, etc. play an important role.
Hanyu Shunsuke raised his eyebrows slightly, and only believed three-quarters of the truth in her words. If ordinary people only need to consider factors such as cause and effect when making a decision, every decision made by Yukinoshita Haruno always takes many things into consideration, or it may just be a simple idea. She is an extremely contradictory person.
“There’s a more natural way, isn’t there?”
Hanyu Shunsuke said.
“But it’s more of a waste of time, isn’t it?”
Yukinoshita Haruno asked back.
Well, she has always been a person who values ​​efficiency above all else, and of course, so was Shunsuke Hanyu in the past, so she was able to naturally use marriage as a bargaining chip to pull out and count them one by one at the negotiation table face to face.
Hanyu Shunsuke closed his mouth and planned to appreciate the scenery on the Chiba University campus. The sun was warm, the beauty was by his side, and the breeze was gentle. It was a perfect time to appreciate the cherry blossoms. He could think of other things later.
There was no need for words to express their tacit understanding. Yukinoshita Haruno stopped talking about the topic and walked side by side with him inside the campus.
As graduation season approaches, there are many couples on campus. They are not very noticeable, except for occasional idlers who will pay attention to them because of their appearance.
After strolling from the South Gate to the Chiba University tram station, Hanyu Shunsuke planned to return to his home.
“Should we also put on some couple makeup when we say goodbye?”
Shunsuke Hanyu was very curious about how far she could go.
No matter how you think about it, she must have a very complicated mood to have done this, right? Whether it’s an ordinary person or Yukinoshita Haruno, being deprived of marriage and love, and having skin contact with someone who doesn’t have enough emotional foundation, it always makes people feel shy or even disgusted?
“It’s always a gradual process.”
Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head.
Instead, Shunsuke Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief. This was good enough, as she was still a normal woman.
“Why do I feel like Shunsuke-kun is even happier?”
Yukinoshita Haruno squinted her eyes slightly.
“After all, today’s experience was excellent.”
Hanyu Shunsuke laughed.
The train’s progress warning sound continued to sound, and Hanyu Shunsuke waved goodbye to Yukinoshita Haruno and set out on the journey home.
Yukinoshita Haruno also waved goodbye.
The tram sped away. She suppressed her smile, rubbed her facial muscles, put on a perfect smile and returned to school.
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t know her reaction after he left. Sitting on the train, he pinched his nose and thought in the crowded but not noisy train.
Although the process was a bit strange, overall, his purpose of coming to Chiba University to meet Yukinoshita Haruno has been achieved.
After his memories were restored, it took Shunsuke Hanyu more than a day to sort them out. He didn’t know whether it was the benefit of time travel and rebirth, or the automatic reaction of his brain function, but those memories were neatly categorized like those of someone who was proficient in the memory palace method, without causing too much confusion.
There are no drastic changes or confrontations in the fusion of personalities. The two merge into one naturally, just like water dissolving into the sea.
Shunsuke Hanyu spent a few more days getting familiar with his circle before setting off to face the person he considered the most important – Yukinoshita Haruno.
The date of birth of Hanyu Shunsuke is unknown. He has lived and grown up in an orphanage in Chiba since he can remember. Thanks to his rebirth through time travel, even though his consciousness is dormant, some scattered memories will always leak out, making the unawakened Hanyu Shunsuke a little too precocious. Therefore, with his own ability and some financial support, he successfully survived high school and successfully came to the University of Tokyo.
After that, I grew up naturally and now I am studying as a monk.
The sound of the train arriving at the station made Hanyu Shunsuke stop organizing his thoughts.
The sorting out of interpersonal relationships has been preliminarily completed, and it is time to begin the next step.
Chapter 3 I, Hanyu Shunsuke, only want to make money now (old version)
In an apartment near the University of Tokyo in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Shunsuke Hanyu sat at his desk, pen in hand, deep in thought.
It is called a desk, but it is actually a dining table and a desk integrated into one. It is just a 1ldk single apartment, which is specially rented out to students studying at the University of Tokyo.
It is impossible to know what kind of world this is, nor is it known where the fork in the long river of time is. In short, many new things have appeared, and many things in his memory of his previous life have disappeared.
After all, Yukinoshita Haruno is the most obvious example. In her previous life, she was a paper wife in the second dimension? But now she is a real wife?
‘A marriage relationship of mutual respect’
Shunsuke Hanyu wrote the first line.
He speculated from his original body’s memories and the memories of the works he had read in his previous life that meeting and getting along with Yukinoshita Haruno would be quite sad, but he did not expect that it would be a state of tacit understanding and mutual respect between the two parties.
Shouldn’t a son-in-law be despised by his wife? Shouldn’t his wife be extremely arrogant and proud? I don’t even want to say that.
Hanyu Shunsuke couldn’t help but laugh. After all, he had seen the ancient version of The Son-In-Law in his previous life, so perhaps the modern version should be like this.
“If you develop a relationship beyond friendship with someone of the opposite sex, be sure to inform them.”
He wrote the second line.
This is clearly stipulated in the marriage agreement. Of course, the clause there states that the husband and wife should fulfill matters that comply with the obligations of fidelity of husband and wife in the Marriage Law. The attached details are as follows…
The reason why Shunsuke Hanyu regards Yukinoshita Haruno as the most important person he meets after his memory is restored is because he and Yukinoshita Haruno are already closely connected because of that agreement, not to mention that they have already registered their marriage at the marriage registry.
From a legal point of view, Hanyu Shunsuke should now change his name to Yukinoshita Shunsuke, as he is already a married man; or Yukinoshita Haruno should change his name to Hanyu Haruno, but this is a huge problem.
But he is still a single guy who has never been in a relationship.
‘It is not possible to terminate the agreement for the time being’
Hanyu Shunsuke wrote the third line.
The original body’s memory had already told Hanyu Shunsuke this, but he still went to meet Yukinoshita Haruno without giving up, but the result was not beyond his expectations.
After graduation, Yukinoshita Haruno will officially join the Yukinoshita Group and work as a part-time graduate student at Chiba University. This is similar to the current situation of Hanyu Shunsuke, who works for a magazine and is also studying as a graduate student under Professor Kawabata of the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo. Of course, this is different from the part-time graduate student system of the previous Celestial Empire and is another form.
As far as Shunsuke Hanyu knows, Yukinoshita Haruno’s parents have already learned of the existence of Shunsuke Hanyu, which means that they have tacitly agreed to Shunsuke Hanyu being Yukinoshita Haruno’s boyfriend, fiancé, or even marriage partner.
Shunsuke Hanyu was too lazy to investigate what kind of family would have such a way of getting along, because Yukinoshita Haruno was not a normal person.
It is impossible for Yukinoshita Haruno to change her contractual relationship with Hanyu Shunsuke, and this is not something that Hanyu Shunsuke can change just because he wants to; if he wants to change it by force, it will require a huge amount of money.
Besides, Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t want to show a personality that was completely different from his previous self in front of people who knew him well.
If he had traveled through time and possessed a stranger, he would definitely choose to give up all the social connections of his original body and start his own life, but Shunsuke Hanyu is himself. He is Shunsuke Hanyu. His previous body was just a secondary personality that naturally evolved from his body when his consciousness was dormant, and now Shunsuke Hanyu is Shunsuke Hanyu.
He is responsible for the agreement that bears Hanyu Shunsuke’s seal both morally and legally.
‘Other interpersonal relationships don’t need to be deliberately sorted out’
Shunsuke Hanyu wrote the fourth line.
As an orphan, Shunsuke Hanyu has no family. His social circle is limited to school, company, and home, and the people he meets include mentors, classmates, friends, and colleagues.
Without relatives, interpersonal relationships become very clear.
In the past few days, Shunsuke Hanyu has become initially familiar with his instructor and classmates. Although there have been some minor changes, they are not considered to be flaws.
‘Pursue’
Shunsuke Hanyu wrote the last line, then tore off the page, burned it, and put it into the garbage category where it belonged.
Maslow’s need theory has briefly divided human pursuits into five levels. There is no need to mention physiological needs. Shunsuke Hanyu has already reached this level.
But safety needs are a problem. In terms of personal safety and health protection, this rented one-bedroom apartment cannot meet this need.
As for the higher-level social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs, there is no need to mention them. Of course, these needs are not implemented one level at a time. Except for the first-level physiological needs, the realization of other needs is parallel.
Shunsuke Hanyu clearly remembered the balance in his bank card, 1.25 million yen.
This was his savings after working at the magazine for half a year. Of course, it was not a small amount, but it still seemed very humble compared to the housing prices and commodity prices in Tokyo.
So the priority is very clear, make money, and then do other things.
In his previous life, Shunsuke Hanyu was a failed online writer who did not possess any professional abilities. In this life, Shunsuke Hanyu studied at Japan’s top institution of learning, the University of Tokyo. He had a high level of education, but he was only in the Faculty of Literature.
‘creation?’
This word popped into Hanyu Shunsuke’s mind.
Be it stocks, lotteries, or football betting, these things are already confusing. Moreover, he had never been exposed to these ways of making money quickly in his previous life. As for virtual currencies or other methods, he really has no knowledge of this in his memory.
Moreover, the present time in this life is clearly 2010, but many things that happened 15 years later in the previous life have already appeared now.
No capital is required, just a pen and a brain are enough, including but not limited to light novels, popular literature, serious literature, scripts, and screenplays.
Shunsuke Hanyu felt that he could pick up his old job, but he had to do some research first. Although he remembered a lot about the development of literature in this world and the Japanese literary scene, his personal memory was not comprehensive enough.
Shunsuke Hanyu turned on his computer and searched according to literary categories, from the history of development to the formation and development of various categories of literature, representative writers and representative works, and the current status.
The search was almost complete, and Shunsuke Hanyu was just about to search his memory to see which direction to go when a call came in his cell phone.
Correspondent: Chitanda Eru.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 4 Chitanda Eru’s Concern (Old Version)
Chitanda Eru is a classmate of Hanyu Shunsuke, or to be more precise, a classmate in the same laboratory.
Graduate students in Japan are called monks, and monks are divided into various research laboratories and taught in small groups by tutors. To be honest, this is not a good system, because the power of life and death of students is entirely in the hands of the tutors, and countless dirty things arise every year as a result.
But on the surface, Tokyo University still supported the university, and Hanyu Shunsuke was lucky. His tutor Kawabata was a kind man and was quite nice to students like them.
The agreed meeting place was a teahouse on Tokyo University’s student street. Chitanda Eru was particularly fond of Japan’s tea ceremony and did not like coffee or other drinks.
Shunsuke Hanyu actually thinks his social circle is quite interesting, as he can see many familiar people from his previous life in it, and of course they have undergone various changes; but this strange familiarity gives him a sense of dislocation between time and space, and he occasionally feels that he is really lonely.
“good afternoon.”
Chitanda Eru greeted him and knelt down opposite him.
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled and waved.
She is a very standard Japanese beauty, with beautiful long hair, delicate facial features, bright eyes, a good figure and elegant posture. Of course, the most admirable thing about her is her unique gentle temperament like a lady from a noble family.
Shunsuke Hanyu took the teacup and filled it for her, then made a gesture of invitation.
“This is a research paper I recently completed on the application of Feiju in daily life.”
Chitanda Eru took out a stack of documents from her shoulder bag.
This was the reason for their meeting, because they had to hand in a final assignment soon. Universities in Japan are divided into two semesters, and the final exams are generally held in January and February, but there are also cases where they are delayed until early March, because many instructors do not have the time to take care of their students.
Shunsuke Hanyu and Chitanda Eru’s mentor Maetsuki Kawabata flew to London Oxford for an exchange. Although they have been managing their studies remotely, there are some things that can only be completed in person, such as final assignments.
“It’s OK~ But there are some omissions in the way of argumentation here…”
Although Shunsuke Hanyu in his previous life also graduated from university, he did not major in literature. However, in this life, Shunsuke Hanyu is indeed an excellent student in literature, otherwise he would not have been admitted by his tutor to study for a master’s degree.
Japan does not have an in-service graduate student system like China does. The so-called in-service means that you have to discuss with your supervisor and your future boss about how many days a week you will be in the work and how many days you will be in the lab, so as not to miss work for either side.
Shunsuke Hanyu and Eru Chitanda were in the same class during their bachelor’s degree, and they were lucky enough to be assigned to the same laboratory during their master’s degree, so they have a good relationship.
The two people discussed it and felt that they both gained something, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
“Has anything happened in the past few days, Hanyu-san?”
Chitanda Eru took a sip of her tea and asked casually.
“Why do you ask?”
Shunsuke Hanyu tensed his body, but his face remained expressionless and he was smiling.
“Your speech yesterday was a bit subpar. If you hadn’t included some novel ideas when you were drawing lots, the teacher would have asked you to redo it.”
Chitanda Eru said.
That’s because even though the memory is familiar, it’s still inevitable to feel a little nervous, and it always takes time to get used to it.
“If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hide it.”
Her already big eyes opened even wider, looking even brighter and filled with concern.
Sometimes, Shunsuke Hanyu is quite curious about how the proportions of her cheeks and facial features allow her eyes to be so big yet still look delicate. He always feels that this can be used to create a new series of character designs in anime, such as the Kyoto face.
“certainly.”
He smiled and nodded.
Speaking of teahouses always reminds people of mahjong in S Province. A tea ceremony hall is a quiet and elegant place. There is a music room separated in the center, and the sound of stringed instruments continues. The sound coming from this side seems vague and long, adding a sense of quietness.
“How’s your work going lately, Hanyu-san? Have you seen any good new books?”
We ate some Japanese sweets and continued the conversation, but it seemed a little casual.
Shunsuke Hanyu worked for Shinchosha, but not for Shinchosha’s two flagship weekly publications, but for the monthly magazine “Shincho Shoko”, for which he was the editor-in-chief.
The Japanese workplace is a place where qualifications are extremely important, but academic qualifications are ranked ahead of qualifications. This is a contradiction but also in line with social common sense.
“There’s nothing interesting. I’m planning to write it myself.”
Hanyu Shunsuke shook his head.
Those memories now belong to Shunsuke Hanyu, and they seem clear and natural when he recalls them.
“There’s definitely no problem with what you said, Hanyu-san! In fact, I’ve always thought you could give it a try!”
Chitanda Eru’s eyes became brighter.
The Faculty of Letters of the University of Tokyo has always been famous for producing writers, entertainers, celebrities, and politicians; but writers are the most numerous among them; the only comparable one is the Faculty of Letters of Kyoto University.
“What about Chitanda-san? Why don’t you try writing?”
Anyway, it was just a casual chat, and Shunsuke Hanyu was just talking casually.
“I just watch it. I really don’t have the passion to create.”
She shook her head.
Chitanda Eru is a very strange person. According to Shunsuke Hanyu’s memory, she was born into a powerful family in Takayama City. If we have to compare, her family is much more powerful than the Yukinoshita family; but she did not study management or anything like that.
Instead, she chose the Department of Literature based on her preferences. Generally, people who choose the Department of Literature like to write, but she is very different. She likes to read, and especially likes to discover new and interesting books.
Shunsuke Hanyu has automatically blocked out and ignored all the memories about them in his past life. How could the real world be like in anime?
After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye to each other and Shunsuke Hanyu returned home.
According to the previous plan, he would first work in a magazine for two years to investigate market trends, readers’ preferences, and fashion trends before officially starting to write. Then he would become famous with his works, and with the help of publicity from the Yukinoshita family, he would finally change his career and go into politics.
This is a road where you can see the light. In fact, Hanyu Shunsuke is very curious about how his derived personality would be like this. He thinks ten steps ahead before doing anything and is extremely steady.
When Shunsuke Hanyu signed the agreement, he had already planned his path thoroughly, but now Shunsuke Hanyu has other plans.
People like to take shortcuts because it gives them a strange sense of superiority.
Yukinoshita Haruno, Shunsuke Hanyu will have a strange feeling when he thinks of her. Getting married first and then falling in love is really fashionable and trendy.
He opened his notebook and wrote down his ideas.

Chapter 5: Date with Yukinoshita Haruno (Old Version)
What Yukinoshita Haruno says always comes true. She is just that kind of person.
In front of the gate of Chiba University, Shunsuke Hanyu stood by the railing, watching people coming and going, and occasionally looking at his watch to check the time.
13.00, very precisely and accurately, Yukinoshita Haruno appeared in front of him.
A loose white off-shoulder T-shirt with a black inner strap around the fair neck, and standard jeans and a pair of solid sandals.
Although this outfit looked very ordinary, Shunsuke Hanyu knew that its value was at least over 200,000 yen.
This was studied by his predecessor, who was very good at judging a person’s wealth and status by their decorations, and Hanyu Shunsuke inherited this ability.
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled and waved, and Yukinoshita Haruno smiled back.
They resolved in the agreement that both parties would make their utmost efforts to cultivate their feelings tacitly in order to promote the realization of this marriage as much as possible; because this was a resolution that was completely in the interests of both parties, Hanyu Shunsuke also expressed his agreement at the time.
In fact, Shunsuke Hanyu is not very willing to use his rare rest time on a date, but she is indeed very pretty and has a little fragrance; and he thinks their current situation is very interesting.
After awakening his memory, Shunsuke Hanyu’s most essential idea, in addition to various pursuits, is to enjoy life, and interesting things naturally cannot be missed.
Of course, single guys would be happier if their memories were restored and they got a wife for free.
Shunsuke Hanyu works for Weekly Shincho on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, while he is at school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which means Sunday is his rest time.
However, the good thing about the monk stage is that you don’t have to stay in the laboratory every day to study the subject. You can still take a free afternoon to go out on a date with Yukinoshita Haruno to develop your relationship with her.
“What topics do you usually talk about at this time?”
After walking a few steps side by side and crossing the overpass to the street, Yukinoshita Haruno said.
“It’s embarrassing to say this, but I’m really bad at love.”
Shunsuke Hanyu has a lot of theories and operations in his mind. He is the theoretical love master who gives others a lot of advice, but he gets stuck when it comes to implementing them himself.
“Huh?”
Yukinoshita Haruno paused, stepped closer, looked at her carefully, and shook her head.
“Not really. It’s unlikely that no girl would confess to him like this.”
Yukinoshita Haruno is very sure that this society is a society based on appearance, and as long as one is good-looking, it is okay even if one is a pervert.
“What you said makes sense, but it’s too difficult to find a girl who is pretty, has a good figure, comes from a wealthy family, and has a good personality. Besides, dating in high school or college is just a waste of time.”
Shunsuke Hanyu summed up his experience in one sentence.
Shunsuke Hanyu thinks that dating in high school and college is a waste of time and seems stupid. Even if there are girls who meet the requirements, it is hard to believe that they can make decisions about their marriage. Therefore, he has remained single all his life and focused all his time and energy on improving himself in the hope of getting a higher quality, rich and beautiful girl – such as Yukinoshita Haruno, of course, this refers to the secondary personality.
“Now that you put it that way, I seem to be quite rare?”
Yukinoshita Haruno thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
“To be precise~it’s the Golden Legend!!!”
Shunsuke Hanyu looked sincere.
To be honest, if he had followed the previous plan, Shunsuke Hanyu might not have been able to enjoy the so-called passionate love, but he would definitely have a happy life, and social status, material satisfaction and the corresponding need for respect would not be a problem.
Yukinoshita Haruno is a very rational person and there is no need to worry about being cuckolded. Overall, Yukinoshita Haruno is a perfect marriage partner!
“So what should we talk about now?”
She smiled and then asked the question again.
Hanyu Shunsuke raised an eyebrow and signaled to her.
“Don’t ask me, I’m also bad at love.”
Yukinoshita Haruno shrugged.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. After walking a few steps forward, Hanyu Shunsuke suddenly couldn’t help laughing.
“why are you laughing?”
Yukinoshita Haruno asked.
“Remembering happy things.”
Shunsuke Hanyu thinks he has a pretty good eye.
“What?”
She seemed curious.
“We seem to be very similar in every way, and we are quite a good match.”
Hanyu Shunsuke looked into her eyes.
Yukinoshita Haruno paused and also laughed.
“How can we reach a tacit understanding if we are not of the same kind?”
She asked back.
Hanyu Shunsuke shrugged and said nothing more.
“Should we hold hands now?”
He wiggled his fingers.
“Isn’t it too unromantic to ask directly like this?”
The purpose of today is to cultivate a couple look, so it’s not a good idea to be too straightforward.
The two continued to walk forward, and Hanyu Shunsuke slowly approached her, swinging his arms slightly with his steps. They passed each other again and again, then suddenly held each other’s hands, and then slowly opened their fingers and interlocked them.
“This feeling is indeed somewhat unique…”
The feeling of accelerated heartbeat and hot face is unforgettable.
“Yes.”
She also responded softly, her eyes looking straight ahead. The sunlight came from the side, and Shunsuke Hanyu always felt that her cheeks were glowing.
In fact, it is hard for Shunsuke Hanyu to imagine that the two of them go out on a date like ordinary couples and do the things that ordinary couples do, but if you think about it carefully, most couples do very similar things on a date, right?
After exiting from the south gate of Chiba University and taking a bus to Chiba City Park, Hanyu Shunsuke and Yukinoshita Haruno strolled along the forest path.
What is very admirable about Neon is the extremely efficient greening in this steel city. Although these green areas are not planned to have the vitality of natural wildness, they are green after all.
Chiba Park is a very good tourist attraction. Both locals and outsiders will choose to come here to play, so there are many stalls selling food or entertainment, similar to the streets during the fireworks festival.
“I thought Yukinoshita-san wouldn’t like these things?”
Shunsuke Hanyu always found it a little funny. He thought she would not like foods like takoyaki and grilled corn.
Oh, and things like potato chips and cola. Hanyu Shunsuke felt more and more that he could not judge her based on the impression he had in his memory. He would have to think twice before speaking or doing anything in the future. After all, the existence of those memories would affect his attitude towards her.
“Very unladylike, isn’t it? But it tastes really good.”
The potato chips made a crunching sound in her mouth.
“I think it’s funny and cute.”
In fact, Shunsuke Hanyu is quite afraid that Yukinoshita Haruno is the type of cold, proud and strong woman, and he is also worried that her personality is like the kind of stone in the toilet that is smelly and hard.
The current state of Yukinoshita Haruno would mean that he wouldn’t have to go to great lengths to terminate the agreement, but would just wait and see.
The phone suddenly rang. It was Yukinoshita Haruno’s cell phone. Hanyu Shunsuke took the phone from her hand so that she could answer the call.
Chapter 6: Yukinoshita Haruno found a treasure? (Old version)
Looking at Yukinoshita Haruno who was answering the phone, Hanyu Shunsuke felt a little bored. Waiting for someone to make a call was actually quite boring, especially when his hands were occupied and he couldn’t play with the phone.
After meeting Chitanda Eru the day before, Shunsuke Hanyu has set the tone for his life.
Whether it is Chitanda Eru, the mentor, or other friends, just maintain the same attitude as before. Friends are still friends. There is no need to deliberately change because of the revival of memory, because the previous Shunsuke Hanyu was also him, and the current Shunsuke Hanyu is also him.
The most complicated case is involving Yukinoshita Haruno. Hanyu Shunsuke originally wanted to terminate the agreement and go their separate ways; but this idea is not feasible at the moment; so if the agreement must be maintained, it wouldn’t be too much to use it to gain some benefits, right?
After all, so far, he will cooperate with Yukinoshita Haruno in accordance with the agreement, which is a very stressful thing.
However, Shunsuke Hanyu does not want to change his name to Shunsuke Yukinoshita. He thinks the surname Hanyu sounds nice, better than Yukinoshita.
“Ah~”
He seemed a little bored. She had been on the phone for too long and the conversation period was over. She kept nodding her head, so Hanyu Shunsuke simply pinched a piece of potato chips and fed it to her mouth.
It was just a boring tease, but Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at him and naturally bit it and pushed it inside to eat.
Well, Hanyu Shunsuke looked at her and thought that she was really cute sometimes. But when he thought about it, she was still a college student after all. Even if she was surrounded by family members in a social circle, she would always have the habits of girls.
Hanyu Shunsuke also wondered why Yukinoshita Haruno was willing to sign a contract with him, and was not averse to the intimate contact of holding hands, and was willing to show another side of him in front of him; some of it he understood, but some of it he still didn’t understand.
But the interactions between people are not predictable. Hanyu Shunsuke feels that he just needs to stay vigilant to avoid being betrayed by Yukinoshita Haruno.
She thought about it for several minutes before hanging up the phone.
“It seems to be something from your company?”
Shunsuke Hanyu found a topic to talk about and returned all her happy foods to her.
“Um.”
Yukinoshita Haruno just nodded, not intending to elaborate.
“It seems like the construction industry has been in a slump since the turn of the millennium?”
Shunsuke Hanyu used a questioning tone, because in his memory of his previous life, Japan’s construction industry was indeed like this, but he had never understood Japan’s construction industry in this world.
“It’s probably fair to say that the economy is in a very bad state.”
Yukinoshita Haruno was not surprised that a member of the literature club would know about the construction industry. If she could investigate him, he could naturally investigate her as well. It was just that the information obtained was different due to their different identities, status and resources.
In his previous life, Shunsuke Hanyu was a failed online writer. Online writers have a very distinctive characteristic, which is that they know a lot. Although it may just be theoretical talk, in order to write something that seems plausible and logical, online writers often look up a lot of information. The more topics they write about, the more knowledgeable they are.
Shunsuke Hanyu once wrote a Japanese entertainment novel, which involved some plots about the construction industry, so I looked up some information and I still remember some of it.
“It should have recovered a little in the past two years, right?”
Shunsuke Hanyu doesn’t remember very clearly.
“A little bit, it’s not very clear, and no matter how you look at it, it seems like just a struggle.”
Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head and said.
“Not necessarily. Wouldn’t it become popular if there was an Olympic Games?”
Shunsuke Hanyu mentioned this casually.
How many years ago was the Tokyo Olympics successfully bid? Hanyu Shunsuke felt that his memory was not very good, although the things in his past life memories were not necessarily the same in this world.
“If that’s the case, it seems to be true.”
Yukinoshita Haruno fell into deep thought.
“Hanyu-kun, have you studied architecture and economics?”
After a brief pause, she smiled again.
“It’s a little involved, I just looked up some information for the creation.”
Shunsuke Hanyu found an excuse to make it go away.
“Do you think Tokyo’s bid for the Olympics is likely to be successful?”
Yukinoshita Haruno asked with a smile.
There was a bench in front, so she simply stopped, took out a tissue and wiped it, and then the two of them sat down together.
Hanyu Shunsuke recalled that according to his past life’s memory, the current Japanese Prime Minister should be Koizumi or someone else? But it definitely couldn’t be Abe, who was still recuperating in the hospital. But his memory told him that the current Prime Minister was indeed Abe.
“Is there no point in discussing this with me?”
Shunsuke Hanyu was somewhat reluctant to discuss these things in detail, because those memories had taken root in his brain and he would always use them unconsciously during conversations, but the world was different and some things might be false, while some things might remain the same.
“Sometimes, those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. And Hanyu is a top student at the University of Tokyo. He must have different opinions from a high position, right?”
Yukinoshita Haruno explained with a smile.
Hanyu Shunsuke shrugged. There was nothing more to say.
“I have to state in advance that this is just nonsense and has no authenticity.”
He gave a vaccination.
“Of course, I just listen to both sides and believe it.”
Yukinoshita Yang had a thought.
“In fact, I think there is a good chance that Tokyo’s bid for the Olympics will be successful.”
It seems that Tokyo’s bid for the Olympics has nothing to do with the real estate business of the Yukinoshita family? Actually, it is not. Different countries have different national conditions.
But to put it simply, if the bid for the Olympics is successful, various venues will have to be built. The Olympic Committee has very strict requirements for the venues, and basically they have to be newly built; and corresponding transportation facilities, public facilities and the like must also be equipped. This is an international political show, and the return on investment is secondary. The most important thing is to showcase the image, gain political benefits and other hidden benefits.
But some countries are different. They can use the Olympics to boost their economy, and Japan is a leader in this field. For example, during the decade when Japan’s economy took off, the Olympics played a core role in it.
“Because the lost decade has now turned into 20 years and is still rising, and the new prime minister has promised to solve the economic growth problem.”
Shunsuke Hanyu stopped there.
“That makes sense, Hanyu-kun.”
Yukinoshita Haruno was shining with the kind of novelty glow that comes from seeing a fun toy.
She felt like she had found a treasure. She thought it was just a second prize, but now she could vaguely see the words “Golden Legend”.
Chapter 7 Today I Start Being a Plagiarist (Old Version)
After playing around for a while in the afternoon, Hanyu Shunsuke and Yukinoshita Haruno said goodbye to each other and left.
After sending her to Chiba University, he took the train back to his single apartment in Bunkyo.
He originally thought that today’s date was just a test-and-tear relationship between the two of them, but he didn’t expect it to be so harmonious. However, when two smart and rational people work together in harmony, it is normal to create a good atmosphere.
But what Hanyu Shunsuke did not expect was that it would involve economic problems in the construction industry. This industry is the economic pillar industry of Japan. China’s construction and real estate industries already account for a large proportion of the national economy, but Japan’s is even more so.
Moreover, due to historical reasons, the construction industry will only become increasingly withered. At present, the effectiveness of the solutions proposed is negative. Shunsuke Hanyu is not a professional in this field, so how can he know how this industry can be transformed and upgraded.
Moreover, he was well aware that the things in his memories of his past life might not make sense in this world, so it was better to say less.
In the end, Shunsuke Hanyu was actually not very satisfied with today’s date, which greatly dampened his enthusiasm.
The reason why he was willing to spend time playing such a somewhat pretend game with Yukinoshita Haruno was because the last time they walked hand in hand on the Chiba University campus, he got a sense of love.
If you really want to count, he seems to be a single man in his forties? He has a yearning for things that smell sour and stinky, and Yukinoshita Haruno is pretty and smells a bit good.
But during today’s date, a topic that suddenly came up made him realize that he and Yukinoshita Haruno were still just people who were together based on interests, and the so-called feeling of love was purely his imagination. He changed the tone of dealing with Yukinoshita Haruno.
Do your best to cooperate with the agreement without affecting yourself, and as for the rest, just let it go.
Eat, wash, take a bath, sit on the bed with a bedside desk in front of you.
Shunsuke Hanyu is not a child anymore, so he knows deeply what is the most essential thing. Being strong yourself is the best strength, so he has to spend some time improving himself.
The only thing he was familiar with was creation, and this was the only thing he was somewhat confident in being able to show off. After integrating his memories, Hanyu Shunsuke was confident that he could write something in beautiful parallel prose, so creation was something that was on the agenda and could be achieved.
After traveling through time, he has not yet discovered any golden fingers like photographic memory or remembering every word of the past life memory, so the greatest use of the past life memory is probably to give him inspiration.
Unnatural Death
He picked up his pen and wrote the title in his notebook.
Shunsuke Hanyu has conducted a comprehensive investigation on the development of the Japanese cultural industry in this world by organizing his own memories and searching on the Internet. He is quite confident about the book he is about to write.
“Unnatural Death” was a popular national drama in Japan in its previous life. It revolves around the high unnatural death rate in Japan and focuses on the phenomenon that the causes of death of many people are arbitrarily written due to the extreme shortage of forensic doctors in Japan. The ratings exploded as soon as it was broadcast.
The Japanese forensics in this world still don’t feel the lack of this point, and the annual suicide rate is still high. Hanyu Shunsuke thinks that this idea should be able to cause a hot topic. As for whether he should write something else to warm up first and save the ultimate killer for later use, he has also considered this idea.
But if you think about it, it’s not like a novel needs to form a logical closed loop. If you don’t make a name for yourself first, how can you get royalties, how can you gain reputation, how can you improve your status? It’s not like you have to kill monsters and level up, so do you have to arrange your writing according to popularity?
Shunsuke Hanyu has a very bad habit when writing, that is, he doesn’t like to make an outline, and as for the detailed outline, it is even more impossible to see; so the novels he wrote in his previous life have always been criticized for their scattered plots and disconnected rhythm, and there has been no improvement in this life.
Shunsuke Hanyu has hardly remembered the plot of the original film, but it doesn’t matter. Telling a story about a forensic doctor focusing on various unnatural death cases is within his ability, but the selection of cases must be representative, with both depth and breadth.
‘Yuko Hiroki always remembers the surprised looks of her teachers, classmates and even parents when she was working in this industry. It seemed that in their eyes, a doctor was just a doctor who could only save lives and heal the wounded. How could there be a branch of forensic medicine?
She had felt the same way before, but the man’s inspiring words still echoed in her ears: “Fight for the rights of the living and speak for the dead!” This is a forensic doctor!
After so many years, she is going to report to UDI today…’
Shunsuke Hanyu wrote the opening chapter, which is one of his habits. He tells the story first and then explains the character settings and so on.
The beginning of a new book can always be written very quickly, because at this point there is always a lot of room for freedom to express yourself regardless of whether there is an outline or not. You can write whatever you want and your efficiency will naturally be high.
Hanyu Shunsuke wrote from seven o’clock to a little after ten o’clock. He roughly finished the first case, and then spent about an hour revising it before falling asleep.
When he woke up, it was already early morning. His body’s biological clock made him open his eyes automatically at 7:30. He then washed, dressed, and headed straight to the Novel Trend editorial department with his manuscripts.
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are the days when he works at the Novel New Trend Editorial Department. Generally speaking, Shunsuke Hanyu will come here because he is a special case after all. Unlike other editors who work full-time, he has to be more active on those days when he works.
He has been working at Xiaoshuo Xinchao for half a year. He is familiar with the people around him. He is lucky that his colleagues are not stupid and no one is unhappy or makes things difficult for him just because he only works three days.
His boss also values ​​him very much, otherwise he would not be happy with his working style.
He first cleaned the editorial office, then made some coffee and placed a cup on each editor’s desk before Shunsuke Hanyu sat down at his seat and started working.
Newcomers in the workplace must have a correct attitude, otherwise it is easy to feel out of place, and being out of place means having a hard time in the workplace.
It was around nine o’clock when people started to arrive one after another. Shunsuke Hanyu would take the initiative to say hello and ask questions, and everyone would greet each other with a smile, and no one was sarcastic.
It was almost ten o’clock when Shunsuke Hanyu finally met the person he was waiting for, the editor-in-chief, Jun Tenichi.
He paused his work, picked up the manuscript, and knocked on the editor-in-chief’s door.
“Come in.”
Hanyu Shunsuke pushed the door open and went in.
“Hanyu-san? What’s wrong? Are you having any problems?”
Tian Yichun asked with a smile.
“I have a manuscript and would like to ask Editor-in-Chief Tianyi to take a look at it.”
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded.
“Sit down first.”
Tian Yichun said after taking the manuscript.
This name is quite interesting?
Chapter 8: Yukinoshita Haruno’s invitation (old version)
In less than ten minutes, Tian Yichun finished reading the manuscript, which was not thick to begin with.
“Is this manuscript newly received? Is there any follow-up?”
He seemed a little anxious as if he had seen a prey.
“What does Chief Editor Tianyi think of this manuscript?”
Shunsuke Hanyu did not seem to be in a hurry and did not answer the question directly.
“Amazing article! If it weren’t for the incomparable writing style, I would have thought it was written by some great writer.”
Editor-in-Chief Tianyi has been in the industry for nearly twenty years and has rich experience and good vision.
“So who’s the author of this?”
He seemed very curious.
Most editors are actually literature enthusiasts and have a dream of becoming a writer. However, they cannot create popular works, so they choose to become editors as a second choice. Therefore, most editors are bookworms and are extremely fond of truly excellent and powerful works, which does not include online literature.
“Actually, I wrote this.”
Hanyu Shunsuke coughed lightly.
“Huh?”
Tian Yichun’s face looked a little strange, but it wasn’t a look of shock or anything like that. Instead, it looked like “finally.”
“Editor-in-Chief Tianyi doesn’t seem very surprised?”
Hanyu Shunsuke seemed a little curious.
“Hanyu-san, you are a graduate of the University of Tokyo, and Professor Kawabata praised you highly when he recommended you to me, so I have never doubted your creative ability; I am just curious why you chose to become an editor directly.”
Tian Yichun explained briefly.
So people who graduated from Tokyo University can do whatever they want? Hanyu Shunsuke wanted to laugh, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be true. A big reason why his colleagues could easily accept him was because he had a high enough academic degree.
“So this novel is going to be published in our magazine?”
Tian Yichun straightened his back.
“That’s the plan.”
Since he showed it to the editor-in-chief, Shunsuke Hanyu naturally had this plan.
And he also looked at the reactions of people in the industry to determine whether the book had the potential to be a hot seller. Although an experienced author could judge the approximate potential of an idea when it came out, Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t know much about the Japanese literary world, nor about physical literature, so he was not sure.
“Although I think there is no problem with your work, if you want to publish it, you still need to discuss it at the editorial meeting.”
Tian Yichun said.
This is the rule of Novel Trend. All novels that want to be published need to be discussed at the editorial meeting. The general process is that each editor will nominate a few works, and then talk about the selling points and interesting points. Everyone will vote by raising their hands, and then the editor-in-chief will make the decision.
“I understand.”
“So what about the sequel to this work? Has it been written?”
Tian Yichun stared at him.
“I haven’t started yet. After all, I don’t know what the future holds.”
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled awkwardly.
“That’s right~”
Tian Yichun also laughed.
“Hanyu-san, do you think the unnatural death rate in our country is really as high as you said in your book?”
he asked suddenly.
“The data is close.”
It was not surprising that Shunsuke Hanyu would ask this question, as the intellectual middle class always likes to pay attention to these things.
“What on earth is going on in our country?”
Tian Yijun didn’t know whether he was asking Hanyu Shunsuke or asking himself.
After saying goodbye to the editor-in-chief, Hanyu Shunsuke returned to his office and continued working.
Novel New Wave is a monthly magazine, so the work is not too busy. Although Shunsuke Hanyu is still a newcomer in the workplace, he has half a year of work experience, so there are no twists and turns.
The work of an editor is actually quite boring. The core job is to read and select works. This job may seem enthusiastic at the beginning, but it becomes dull and numb as time goes by; because not every work can be read carefully, and most of the submitted works are often nonsense, so it is better to just reject them directly.
Those works that are of a certain standard but have some flaws are what make editors most uncomfortable. They need to communicate with the authors, urge them to improve, etc., which is very annoying.
Of course, there is also a direct way to get by. If you have works on hand, just hand them in. If you don’t have any, forget it. However, part of the performance commission in the editor’s salary is measured by the publication results and reader survey rankings; so it is definitely beneficial to discover more works.
Editing work does not require you to stay in the editorial department all day like general work. You often need to go out to communicate with authors, get manuscripts, etc. Relatively speaking, the time you spend in the editorial department is actually not much.
As a newcomer who has only been working for half a year, Shunsuke Hanyu does not have any regular serial authors on hand. Every month, he discovers works by submitting via email or website.
Read the works according to the old rules, and then classify them according to their levels. Those that are not acceptable will be thrown aside. When the work is about to be completed, a group email will be sent to inform you that you still need to work harder before your work can be accepted. Then, for works that are of a slightly higher standard, a few suggestions will be made, which is more time-consuming. Then, for excellent works, the highlights will be analyzed so that they can be presented at the meeting.
Lunch was solved by bento from the convenience store at the bottom of the building. The working hours ended at around five in the afternoon, and Shunsuke Hanyu cleaned up the editorial office before leaving.
The work of corporate slaves is often tiring, mechanical and boring, which is why Shunsuke Hanyu chose to become an online writer in his previous life. After all, being able to decide one’s own working hours is already a very comfortable thing.
Just as he was planning to find a place to relax, the phone rang. Hanyu Shunsuke took it out and saw—it was Yukinoshita Haruno.
“Hello?”
He answered.
“Hello? Hanyu-san?”
Yukinoshita Haruno’s voice came from the phone.
“Um, what’s up?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked. He was too tired to deal with it. If it were his predecessor, he would still treat it with a perfect attitude.
“Are you off work?”
Yukinoshita Haruno did not answer directly, but asked with a smile.
“Just got off work.”
Hanyu Shunsuke replied that she knew the nature and hours of his work, and in fact they met because of Hanyu Shunsuke’s job.
“You must be tired, right? Let’s go have dinner and then relax in the hot springs?”
“Now?”
Hanyu Shunsuke was a little surprised.
He found that he really couldn’t understand Yukinoshita Haruno. This guy should dislike him and not want to see him! Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t believe that Yukinoshita Haruno was happy and willing to use her marriage as a bargaining chip!
Even if she didn’t dislike him, she wouldn’t be so proactive, right? So she didn’t understand why she accepted Hanyu Shunsuke when the hand-holding teasing started on the Chiba University campus.
“I’m at the Fly Cafe below the building where you work.”
Hanyu Shunsuke turned around and saw her leaning against the window of the cafe.
Her smile is as beautiful as a flower.
Chapter 9 We are now husband and wife (old version)
Shunsuke Hanyu wanted to scratch his head, but he resisted the urge to do so and walked towards the coffee shop.
His attitude towards and speculation about Yukinoshita Haruno’s personality has changed many times. Now he no longer intends to speculate what kind of person Yukinoshita Haruno is. This guy is quite a bit nervous, and he is inconsistent. It is not something he can understand.
As for his attitude, he had already decided on it last night. He would try his best to comply with the responsibilities in the agreement as long as it did not affect himself. As for other further steps, forget it.
But Yukinoshita Haruno’s somewhat proactive behavior made Hanyu Shunsuke not know how to treat her. To be honest, she didn’t really fit his aesthetic standards. Hanyu Shunsuke liked the type of mature woman with black stockings, long legs and a good figure, and also liked long hair.
Yukinoshita Haruno is a strong and capable woman with short hair, but she is really beautiful and has a good figure.
So in fact, the better approach is to use this agreement to directly gain both the people and the money?
On the way to the cafe, all kinds of thoughts were flying in his mind.
“Why did you think of coming here?”
Hanyu Shunsuke sat down opposite her and ordered a cup of signature coffee.
“Come to check on you.”
Yukinoshita Haruno replied with a smile.
To be honest, Hanyu Shunsuke is actually quite afraid of her current state. If she is dissatisfied with the marriage agreement but suppresses her dissatisfaction due to various considerations such as reality and the future, then Yukinoshita Haruno is actually a pretty normal woman.
But now she was tending towards the worst situation he had imagined: she had no psychological barrier to using her marriage as a bargaining chip, and was only thinking about strengthening her family.
“I don’t think it has come to this between us?”
Hanyu Shunsuke took a sip of coffee, and the bitter taste spreading from his taste buds made him frown, but he also became much more sober. He didn’t want to beat around the bush, so he spoke directly.
“Didn’t I explain the reason before? We have to get along with each other. Since we have more time before graduation, I guess I will be around you more often.”
Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.
“Besides, legally speaking, we are now husband and wife.”
She added an explanation.
Hanyu Shunsuke found that he didn’t seem to have anything to refute? It was a bit of a headache.
After his memory was restored, he didn’t have any big demands for this life. He just wanted to write something that sold well, become famous and make some money, and then enjoy life and do the things he wanted to do but couldn’t do in his previous life, such as traveling around the country, eating all kinds of delicious food, and experiencing all kinds of interesting sports?
Therefore, he is somewhat avoiding Yukinoshita Haruno, who is likely to shatter his idea at the moment.
What was the compensation amount in that agreement? Hanyu Shunsuke remembered it was 100 million yen? It was better that Hanyu Shunsuke was clear-headed when signing it and didn’t get 100 million yen. Otherwise, Hanyu Shunsuke would not have thought about whether it was possible to cancel the agreement, but honestly changed his mind and used the beauty trick to get both money and people.
“Didn’t we say we were going to have dinner? Right here?”
Hanyu Shunsuke abruptly changed the subject.
“The cakes and other things here are pretty good.”
Yukinoshita Haruno looked very familiar with this.
“When my sister was interning at your place, I often came here to eat.”
Noticing Hanyu’s eyes, Yukinoshita Haruno explained.
“Then you can bring some food. I’m fine with anything that’s not too sweet.”
As far as he could remember, the opportunity for him to meet Yukinoshita Haruno was because Yukinoshita Haruno’s sister Yukinoshita Yukino came to “Novel Shincho” for a summer internship, and Hanyu Shunsuke was assigned to supervise her, although he had just started working there at that time.
Then he was invited to dinner by Yukinoshita Haruno, and that’s how they got to know each other.
“Tiramisu, pear cake, Ma Si Tian…”
Judging from her posture and efficiency, Yukinoshita Haruno is also a big sweet tooth.
“How are you doing now, Yukino-san? It looks like you’ll be a senior in high school soon?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked casually.
“Waiting for school to start.”
Yukinoshita Haruno replied.
Neon High School usually starts in early April.
“After returning home yesterday, I discussed with my family the possibility of Tokyo’s successful bid for the Olympics, and then used my connections to inquire. The prime minister has been committed to making this happen.”
That’s right. Hanyu Shunsuke breathed a sigh of relief. He felt relieved when talking about business and interest.
“You guys should have been paying attention to this, right?”
Hanyu Shunsuke was a little curious. It was normal for people in the construction industry to pay attention to all kinds of possible good news.
“The Big Five are blocking the news.”
The so-called Big Five refers to the five giants in Japan’s construction industry, namely Taisei Corporation, Kajima Corporation, Shimizu Corporation, Obayashi Corporation, and Takenaka Corporation; the annual turnover of these five companies in 2004 reached more than 1 trillion yen. In comparison, even other well-known companies such as Kumagai Gumi and Sumitomo Mitsui Construction are just a fraction of theirs.
Shunsuke Hanyu was not surprised at all. Japan has its own leading enterprises in almost every industry. After all, these are long-established markets and not newly developed ones.
“This is normal. From another perspective, it is their support that gives the prime minister enough funds to carry out political lobbying, right?”
Hanyu Shunsuke took another sip of coffee.
Is applying for the Olympics just a simple submission of a name list? Just like the Oscars and Nobel Prizes, public relations judges and public relations voters are the norm, in short, it requires a large amount of money.
“But the outcome of this kind of thing is unknown until the dust settles, so there’s no need to have too much expectation.”
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at the kitchen counter and saw that the food had not yet arrived.
Yukinoshita Haruno sighed.
Even if the application is successful, the construction industry will have new market hotspots and new projects to take on, but they will only last for a few years and then return to the old way.
“To be frank, industrial upgrading and transformation is the most important thing.”
Shunsuke Hanyu talked casually.
A major characteristic of online writers is that they can talk about anything, in short, nonsense.
“It’s a bit difficult.”
Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head and took a sip of coffee.
“really.”
Shunsuke Hanyu actually had an idea, because the information on the construction industry he found when he was writing the failed Japanese entertainment book in his previous life showed the directions of transformation of those leading companies, but he didn’t intend to say it because it didn’t quite fit his identity.
He is just a student in the literature department. If he knows a little about economics, he can be considered knowledgeable, but if he knows too much, it is hard to say.
“Speaking of which, where are we going to go for the hot springs later?”
Shunsuke Hanyu is still more concerned about this.
When faced with sugar-coated bullets, our attitude is to eat the sugar coating and throw the bullet back.
He remembered Taizu’s quotations.
Chapter 10 Novel Serialization Decision (Old Version)
The editorial meeting of Novel Xinchao is held every Friday afternoon. Editors may be one of the very few jobs that can maintain a two-day weekend off, because for editors, whether to take a break or not has nothing to do with the day of the week. The most important thing is the relationship with the authors they handle. Even if they have a holiday, they have to work hard on their day off.
Shunsuke Hanyu sorted out several novels he had prepared to recommend. According to the layout, each editor would have a different number of recommendations based on their qualifications, past performance, etc. The works recommended by all editors plus the works selected by the editor-in-chief would roughly constitute the content of the monthly magazine “Novel New Wave”.
These contents are not decided in one editing meeting, because different new works are received every week, and some works are always better, so the works decided last week need to be replaced.
As a newcomer in the workplace for half a year, Shunsuke Hanyu has four recommendation quotas in his hand, which means he can recommend four or more works for everyone to discuss, but only four will be approved in the end.
In fact, it is not a good practice for each editor to have different recommendation quotas. After all, there are always some editors who have excellent works, and this is when the role of the editor-in-chief comes into play.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, everyone packed up their things and took their gear to the large conference room, where they sat down as usual. The editor-in-chief was always the last to arrive, and he would not come out from his office until everyone in the conference room was present.
“Well, as usual, I’ll first summarize last week’s work status.”
Editor-in-chief Tian Yichun is also a veteran. He talked a lot, including a mixture of practical matters and chicken soup, to ensure that the people present had to concentrate at all times or they might miss some specific matters.
“Then let’s get down to business, starting with Xuan Gu editing.”
The core of the editorial meeting is to select excellent works, and the rest should take a back seat.
“The first work I recommend is a mystery novel of the orthodox school. It tells the story of a murder case in a closed room. The plot is very interesting. You can take a look at it.”
The excerpts were projected on a large screen.
Shunsuke Hanyu read it with great interest.
He commented that the writing was average, the clues were a bit contrived, the protagonist was not very likable, but the plot was quite interesting.
But as long as the plots in a traditional detective novel are interesting and the descriptions are reasonable, it is considered to be of high quality.
Sure enough,
“The writing needs some work.”
An editor spoke.
“Narrative writing also needs some attention.”
An editor also said.
Shunsuke Hanyu just listened to their opinions without saying a word. There was no need for him to get involved.
There will always be dirty things in the workplace. In the profession of editor, the editorial meeting that decides the number of recommendations is really a battle of swords and spears. After all, every successfully published work is considered an achievement.
“Editor Hanyu, do you have any ideas?”
Editor-in-Chief Tianyi suddenly asked.
The other editors have been arguing fiercely with editor Xuan Gu. Xuan Gu said that as long as the tricks are interesting, it is a qualified mystery novel and can be published. The other editors will use various angles to discuss and discredit this work.
Everyone had their own reasons, and no one could be convinced. Usually, the editor-in-chief would make a statement to set the tone, but Hanyu Shunsuke did not expect the editor-in-chief to speak and ask him, is this considered as misleading? Has he offended the editor-in-chief in some way? Hanyu Shunsuke pondered in his mind, but his expression did not change.
No matter which side you stand on, you will have grievances with the other side, but if you really don’t want to offend both sides, it is not a good idea to try to smooth things over.
Shunsuke Hanyu doesn’t have much work experience, so he doesn’t know what to say at this moment.
“I think this work is already qualified as a mystery novel, and other minor details can be modified with the editor’s guidance.”
He just made a comment that was in his heart.
“Then it’s settled. Editor Xuan Gu, go and communicate with this writer and ask him to make some changes.”
Editor-in-Chief Tianyi nodded in approval.
Shunsuke Hanyu is not a stupid man, he vaguely realizes something.
Editors come one by one, and it’s rare that they recommend works that everyone agrees on. There’s always a lot of heated debate. Hanyu Shunsuke doesn’t find it noisy, but rather interesting, because no one will find fault with it, as that would be too much of a loss of standards.
As for editors, they can always find many things to criticize in a work. Even if you put a Nobel Prize-winning work in front of them and tell them that it is the work of a newcomer, they can still find a lot of faults.
“Then it will be up to editor Hanyu to speak.”
Editor-in-Chief Tianyi presided over the recollections.
Shunsuke Hanyu recommended four works of his own choice step by step, two swordsman novels and two mystery novels. He first described the advantages, then the disadvantages, and then compared them with some similar works, covering all aspects.
Then the other editors started to speak and make comments, and Shunsuke Hanyu would occasionally refute the exaggerated remarks, and then the editor-in-chief would make the decision.
“Finally, I stumbled upon some alarming data while researching recently, so I wrote a novel and would like you to read it.”
The editors at the conference table had different expressions. Shunsuke Hanyu clicked on his own work and projected it on the screen.
Everyone was reading and there was silence in the meeting room.
“What do you think?”
Editor-in-Chief Tianyi looked at them with interest.
“This is a great work. Editor Hanyu is indeed a member of the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo.”
“Thought-provoking subject matter.”
Shunsuke Hanyu found that he seemed to have not been troubled too much since he joined “Shincho Nosho”. The occasional quarrels were all caused by different opinions on the works and were part of his work.
But he is not Fukuzawa Yukichi, who will always be hated by people.
“What is the category of this work? It doesn’t quite fit the magazine’s readership, does it? And will serializing a work you edited make people feel that the magazine’s impartiality is impeded?”
Editor Fuchun said.
This is an editor who doesn’t get along well with Shunsuke Hanyu. He has sixteen years of experience working at Novel Shincho and is a very senior editor. For some reason, he doesn’t like Shunsuke Hanyu very much.
“Also, although the story seems good, does anyone really care about something like this?”
He continued to add.
Some people agreed with him, while others refuted him. Hanyu Shunsuke always paid attention and remembered everyone clearly.
“Editor Tianyi, what do you think?”
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at the person who would ultimately have the final say.
Everyone present had signed confidentiality agreements, non-compete agreements and the like, so there was no chance that his work would be leaked out. If it didn’t work out here, he could just submit it somewhere else.
“Although what Editor Fuchun said makes sense, this work is quite profound and thought-provoking. Excellent works can transcend categories and be read by everyone.”
Editor-in-Chief Tianyi said.
“Included in the serialization standard.”
He made a decision.
Chapter 11: Incident (Old Version)
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t expect that everything would go so smoothly, but success was a good thing for him, so there was no need to think too much about it.
Although he doesn’t have much work experience, his brain is still relatively normal, and Shunsuke Hanyu can probably understand what the editor-in-chief means.
Shunsuke Hanyu was recommended to Shinchosha by his mentor Professor Kawabata, and then recommended to editor-in-chief Jun Tenichi by a senior managing director of Shinchosha. Jun Tenichi was already in his fifties and would retire in a few years, so Shunsuke Hanyu was listed as the successor to be trained.
Moreover, when Shunsuke Hanyu had just joined the Xiaoshuo Shincho editorial department, the Fuchun editor also gossiped about him and used the editorial meetings to reasonably target him several times. The Fuchun editor might have felt that denying the works recommended by Shunsuke Hanyu made his performance look bad, and everyone had a bad impression of Shunsuke Hanyu, and Shunsuke Hanyu’s development would not be very good.
But what he didn’t expect was that after Shunsuke Hanyu was recruited into the editorial department by Editor-in-Chief Tian Yijun, he naturally became a member of Tian Yijun’s side. If Shunsuke Hanyu embarrassed Editor-in-Chief Tian Yijun, it would also be embarrassing.
After flicking his head, Hanyu Shunsuke gathered his thoughts and took a bite of the discounted lemons he had bought on the way home.
This is one of his habits. He would summarize the day every night and think things through. If he couldn’t figure things out, he would sort out his thoughts. This is a habit inherited from his predecessor.
The taste is not bad, but it is a bit too sour. Although Shunsuke Hanyu prefers sour food, he can’t stand this taste.
He spread out the manuscript paper and picked up his pen to continue thinking about the article. Since he had decided to serialize it, he had to get it all out as soon as possible so that he wouldn’t have to work on it again when he needed it later.
However, “New Trend in Novel” is a monthly magazine, so it doesn’t seem to be too busy. Each serial update is estimated to be only about 10,000 words, which is only three or four hours of work. Even if the time for fine-tuning is included, it will only take an afternoon at most.
Hanyu Shunsuke felt that maybe he shouldn’t use his position to serialize in “Novel New Wave”. Wouldn’t it be better to submit to other magazines or newspapers? Or ask his mentor to introduce a few publishing houses to submit directly?
Moreover, Yukinoshita Haruno should have a lot of resources. If we reciprocate, Hanyu Shunsuke can be considered as a member of the Yukinoshita Group and has come up with a lot of ideas. It’s time for him to get some benefits back. Besides, the royalties from the monthly magazine come slowly, and it also takes a long time for one to become famous.
However, everything had already been discussed at the editorial meeting, so there was no need to think too much about it. Hanyu Shunsuke discovered that he had some shortcomings that he had not corrected even after traveling through time and space and being reborn: He always habitually thought about whether he could solve any problem first, and if he could solve it, even if it was not satisfactory, he would never bother others.
This was an instinctive reaction in his mind, which prompted him to make a decision naturally. However, one person’s words cannot go far. Hanyu Shunsuke kept this incident in mind and will be more careful in his future actions.
~
Saturday is a rest day according to the editor’s contract, but everyone still comes to the editorial office to work overtime voluntarily. This is an old tradition. However, relatively speaking, everyone is more free and relaxed on Saturday, and the editor-in-chief will not say anything if someone slacks off.
Shunsuke Hanyu started working as usual. The works recommended at the editorial meeting yesterday all had some shortcomings and required communication with the authors. Such trivial matters were quite exhausting. Fortunately, the editors still had a strong control over those unknown writers, so they didn’t have to be too cautious in the conversation and it wasn’t too tiring.
When he was working at around eleven o’clock, Shunsuke Hanyu suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the editor-in-chief’s office. It was then that he looked at the time on the computer to confirm the time.
Everyone looked towards the editor’s office to see what was going on. The sound sounded like someone kicked the table and smashed some things.
After waiting for nearly a minute, Tian Yichun, the editor-in-chief, finally came out of the office.
“Editor Hanyu, come to my office for a moment.”
Shunsuke Hanyu noticed that Tenichijun’s face didn’t look very good, and it seemed that his clothes were deliberately straightened. When he came out, his hand was on his tie. Normally, he was quite relaxed and comfortable. After all, the editorial department was like his back garden.
Looking around, Hanyu Shunsuke noticed the look of anticipation on editor Fuchun’s face and roughly understood what was going on.
The relationships between people are actually very strange. Maybe just because you look at someone for a second longer, they will dislike you and target you. This is how society is. It is difficult to talk to you about logic.
To this day, Shunsuke Hanyu still doesn’t understand why Fuchun editors have always targeted him, but it doesn’t really matter.
He took a sip of the brewed coffee and then leisurely walked into the editorial office; for him now, the job of editor was not that important, so he naturally wouldn’t be too worried.
“sit.”
After watching Hanyu Shunsuke close the door naturally, Tian Yijun spoke.
Hanyu Shunsuke sat down naturally with his back straight.
“I’m looking for you mainly because something has changed.”
There was a cigarette butt that had just been extinguished on the ashtray next to Tian Yijun. The pleated window over there would usually be closed at this time to let in the sunlight, but now it was wide open. Hanyu Shunsuke knew that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
“The serialization thing?”
Shunsuke Hanyu felt that there was nothing else to do except this matter.
“right.”
Tian Yichun rubbed his fingers, which is the instinctive action of smokers when they want to smoke.
Shunsuke Hanyu continued to sit and wait for him to speak.
“You know that all magazines under Shinchosha have a rule: subordinates can report to higher levels.”
Shunsuke Hanyu recalled and found that it was true.
Although such regulations are more decorative than ornamental in the Japanese workplace, there is indeed such a rule that when subordinates have doubts about the decision of their superiors, they can report it to the higher level. If the superior is sure that what the subordinates say is correct, then they will refute the superior’s approach; if there is a problem with what the subordinates say, they will also be punished by deducting performance.
But few people will take advantage of this rule, because it is very easy to be harassed. Once you report to a higher level, you will definitely be harassed.
“Fuchun is going to be transferred to Journey as deputy editor-in-chief. He is going to do something before he leaves. Your serialization has been rejected by the superiors because of the fairness and openness of the editorial department.”
Tian Yichun said with a smile.
“Travel” is another monthly magazine under Shinchosha.
“It’s okay, don’t worry, just submit to another magazine.”
Hanyu Shunsuke replied with a smile.
Or it’s just right that someone gives you a pillow when you’re sleepy.
“Don’t worry, Fuchun really underestimated me. I have been in Xinchao Society for twenty years! Those who came in with me and are still here are not idle people.”
Tian Yichun had a grim smile on his face.
Chapter 12: Unraveling the Mystery (Old Version)
When Shunsuke Hanyu came out of the editor-in-chief’s office, he looked somewhat relaxed.
He was still saying last night that he was a little too independent and wanted to change the place of serialization but was embarrassed to ask for it. He didn’t expect that it would be ruined today.
Although subjectively speaking, Editor Fuchun did a good thing, objectively speaking, he was targeting himself again.
The previous incarnation had a more cautious and steady personality, and always took the attitude of “less trouble is worse than more trouble”, so when faced with Fuchun’s targeting, he would generally take a step back and keep the peace.
But now Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t have this attitude. He looked at Fuchun’s position and met his eyes. Fuchun dodged a little, and Shunsuke Hanyu suddenly found it a little funny.
What is this guy’s mentality? Is he still afraid after doing something? However, whether it is him in his previous life or his secondary personality in this life, he has met many people like this, so Hanyu Shunsuke is still indifferent.
He returned to his position and continued the work he had not finished.
The editorial office’s lunch break is usually after midnight, so it wasn’t long before everyone went off to have lunch.
Shunsuke Hanyu usually leaves a little later than everyone else. This is a habit he developed when he first came in. At that time, he always had to show a positive work attitude when he first came in. This small detail actually doesn’t mean much, but it’s better to do it than not to do it.
“There’s a new BBQ restaurant in Fengshi Town. Would you like to go try it with me, Hanyu-san?”
Editor Xuan Gu invited him.
Shunsuke Hanyu did not refuse the good offer that came to his door.
Editor Xuan Gu is the most senior editor in the editorial department of “New Wave of Fiction”. He is over fifty years old. The possibility of promotion is small, but he is also unlikely to be laid off or have his salary cut, so he has always been a good guy.
The editorial department of Xiaoshuo Xinchao is separate from the main office of Xinchao Society. After all, Xinchao Society has quite a lot of magazines of various types, plus there are many other business personnel, so they are deliberately separated for the convenience of management. Some of them are on separate floors, while Xiaoshuo Xinchao simply set up another office location.
The barbecue restaurant’s decoration style is pretty good, and the staff are young and pretty. After a casual observation, Shunsuke Hanyu deduced that they should be students from nearby who came to work. There are many high schools and universities in Bunkyo Ward, so there is no shortage of manpower in the store.
“The pork chop rice set meal is pretty good. Last time I brought my son here he praised it highly.”
Editor Xuan Gu recommended it with a smile.
“Then I’ll have two servings of pork chop rice.”
Hanyu Shunsuke said to the clerk.
“Would you like a drink?”
He turned and asked Xuan Gu.
“No drinking at noon.”
Xuan Gu shook his head and refused.
He unbuttoned his tie and placed it next to the table, then unbuttoned the second button of his shirt. The weather in March could sometimes be a bit stuffy, and the novel’s trendy office was also a bit stuffy.
“What are you going to do, Hanyu-san?”
Xuan Gu asked.
Hanyu Shunsuke was a little confused.
“Your serialization should be rejected, right?”
Xuan Gu said.
“Of course, I guessed it. After all, there hasn’t been any major events in the editorial department recently. Only your matter could make Tianyi Sang so angry.”
Xuan Gu looked at his expression before explaining.
“Mr. Xuan Gu is really very knowledgeable about the world.”
Hanyu Shunsuke praised.
“After all, Fuchun has been targeting you for a long time.”
Xuan Gu stretched his muscles and replied.
“Speaking of which, does Editor Xuan Gu know why Editor Fu Chun targeted me? Is it simply because I’m new here?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked jokingly.
He had his own answer, but still needed to confirm it from other people.
“That’s right. Although the other editors haven’t targeted you since you joined, they are also distancing themselves from you. I don’t know if this is normal.”
Xuan Gu recalled it and felt a little confused.
Yes, since Hanyu joined the company, except for Fuchun, the attitude of everyone else has been relatively kind, but since it is kindness rather than warm and friendly, it is natural that there is some alienation.
“There are generally two pathways to advancement in Shinchosha magazine editor positions.”
Xuan Gu raised two fingers.
“One is like Tianyi Chun, the editor-in-chief, who started as a responsible editor, then became deputy editor-in-chief, and then editor-in-chief, growing up under only one magazine. The second is to transfer to a magazine horizontally. Because there are many magazines launched within the company, there will occasionally be talent transfers between magazines, but this kind of horizontal transfer will end the deputy editor-in-chief position unless you have made great contributions.”
“There was once an editor-in-charge who had been deputy editor-in-chief for more than ten years. Five editors-in-chief were parachuted in, but it was never his turn.”
Xuan Gu’s face showed a hint of empathy when he said this.
“When you first come in, you may not be clear about it, but we editors are all clear about it. You are being trained by the editor-in-chief as his successor.”
Hanyu Shunsuke found that he really didn’t pay attention.
“Although Fuchun is not the deputy editor-in-chief, he will probably be the one after I retire in two days, so he always thought that the position of editor-in-chief was reserved for him. But you suddenly came in and your treatment was very special.”
Xuan Gu’s implication has been expressed.
Hanyu Shunsuke had guessed the answer, but he thought there might be some personal reasons? But Xuan Gu didn’t know it, so there was no need to tell him.
“More Xuan Gu Sang to help me solve my doubts.”
Hanyu Shunsuke expressed gratitude.
“The editor-in-chief said earlier that the Fuchun editor will be transferred to the Journey magazine as deputy editor-in-chief.”
Hanyu Shunsuke said casually.
“That’s not a good place to be.”
Xuan Gu shook his head.
“Travel is almost the magazine with the lowest sales volume in Shincho Publishing House; and~~~”
Xuan Gu’s expression looked a little strange.
“The editor-in-chief of Travel and the editor-in-chief of Tianyi are good friends.”
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t know what expression he should make.
“Doesn’t Editor Fuchun know this? He even tried to please the editor-in-chief before leaving. He should be able to investigate it thoroughly.”
What he was curious about was this. Fuchun was a relatively cautious person. Although he had been targeting Hanyu Shunsuke, he had always done so through formal and reasonable channels. Even this time, he made a big news before leaving because he was going to be transferred. Wouldn’t such a person investigate thoroughly?
“The editor-in-chief of Journey and the editor-in-chief of Tianyi belong to two different factions. From an outsider’s perspective, they are diametrically opposed to each other.”
Xuan Gu also had a gloating smile on his face.
Are there factions within Shinchosha? Hanyu Shunsuke is having a headache. It turns out that it’s not easy anywhere in the workplace.
“You can put Fuchun’s matter aside for now. Your film Unnatural Death is a very good work. Where do you plan to invest in it?”
Xuan Gu changed the subject, feeling that he had said something out of turn.
“I haven’t decided yet. I plan to consult my mentor.”
“Come to think of it, I still don’t know who your advisor is, Hanyu-san? I know all the professors in the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo, although many of them I know but they don’t know me.”
Xuan Gu was a little curious.
“Mr. Kawabata.”
“No wonder.”
Xuan Gu looked as if he had realized what was going on.
Chapter 13 Yukinoshita Haruno’s Cooking (Old Version)
Shunsuke Hanyu did not ask more questions from Xuan Gu, but what he knew was enough for now.
He also had no intention of participating in the factional struggles within Shinchosha.
At present, he seems to have no way to deal with Fuchun, but it does not mean that Hanyu Shunsuke will swallow this anger. Yukinoshita Haruno has already taken a lot of advantage from him, and Hanyu Shunsuke feels that he should give back a little in return.
After lunch, he sent a message to Yukinoshita Haruno to make an appointment, but Yukinoshita Haruno said that she was very busy today, so it was not convenient for her to come, so she asked him to go to Chiba, and Hanyu Shunsuke agreed.
At around 5:30, work was finished, Shunsuke Hanyu said goodbye to a few colleagues with whom he had a say, and took the train to Chiba University.
Neon’s transportation facilities, especially those around Tokyo, are indeed complete and powerful, with well-developed tramways connecting the entire Tokyo metropolis.
Around six o’clock, Hanyu Shunsuke successfully got off at Chiba University Station. He took out his phone and checked. The location kept changing. Because Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to be very busy today, the location kept changing. The teaching building that was originally agreed upon later became the club classroom, and now it has become,
Huh?
Hanyu Shunsuke was a little surprised that the location was now her apartment.
Yukinoshita Haruno did not live in the school dormitory. As the boss of a leading construction company in Chiba Prefecture, it was easy for him to find a house in Chiba, so he rented an apartment next to Chiba University.
Shunsuke Hanyu had only been there once, and that was when the agreement was signed. However, there were two lawyers present at that time, so there was no need to worry about them leaking the information. The liquidated damages in the confidentiality agreement signed by the lawyers was much higher than that in Shunsuke Hanyu’s agreement.
Following his memory, Hanyu Shunsuke went to Yukinoshita Haruno’s apartment.
There are two main purposes for coming here this time. One is to see if I can take revenge on Fuchun editor through her, and by the way, see if there are any familiar publishing houses, magazine channels, etc.
Since Yukinoshita Haruno was able to arrange for her sister Yukinoshita Yukino to do a summer internship at “Shincho Novel”, she must have certain connections in the publishing industry.
In fact, Shunsuke Hanyu had a better choice, but he just wanted to take advantage of the situation. The news about Tokyo’s bid for the Olympics that he obtained from him could create countless benefits for the Yukinoshita Group. If Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t take some of the money back, he would feel a little psychologically unbalanced.
Although Yukinoshita Haruno treated him to dinner last time and also invited him to a hot spring hotel for a massage and bathing service, Hanyu Shunsuke still felt unbalanced unless she was the masseur and bather.
Shunsuke Hanyu couldn’t help laughing. He felt that after having more contact with Yukinoshita Haruno, he was inevitably attracted by her charm, and some unfriendly things would occasionally flash through his mind.
Standing in front of the door, he straightened his clothes, adjusted his tie and wiped the dust off his shoulders before knocking on the door.
“Sorry for disturbing you by visiting me.”
The moment the door opened, Hanyu Shunsuke said immediately.
“Welcome.”
Yukinoshita Haruno also responded with a smile.
Entering the entrance, Yukinoshita Haruno handed over a pair of slippers. Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t like wearing things that others had worn.
“This is the pair you wore last time you came. You only used it that one time.”
Yukinoshita Haruno noticed his delay and explained.
“It’s troublesome.”
He thanked and changed.
She was also wearing an apron, but her short hair didn’t reveal much of a wife’s temperament, but it did add a bit of gentleness to her look. The short shirt that March changed into revealed half of her arms, which looked delicate.
Pretty good, Hanyu Shunsuke commented in his mind after taking a look.
“Are you cooking?”
He asked curiously, didn’t she say she was very busy?
“Tried a new dish.”
Going to the living room, I saw that the hot tea had been prepared and was placed on the coffee table, emitting steam. There was also a fruit plate next to it filled with chopped fruits.
Shunsuke Hanyu has always felt that even though he knew that Yukinoshita Haruno did these things not out of emotion, this meticulous attitude did make people feel very comfortable.
Therefore, women are often praised for being naturally meticulous, and there are also many positions that are restricted to women only. Hanyu Shunsuke has always felt that the differences in personality and abilities brought about by physiological differences are quite large.
“I’m going to the kitchen first. If you want to watch TV, turn it on yourself. I don’t know what shows you like.”
She waved and went to the kitchen, as if Hanyu Shunsuke was someone she was very familiar with.
Well, legally speaking, they are the two closest and most familiar people.
Hanyu Shunsuke couldn’t get used to her getting closer to him, but he did accept her initiative to get closer. He had no choice, she was too sweet. He didn’t want to flirt with her because he was afraid of trouble and had no experience. But how should he respond if he was flirted with? Hanyu Shunsuke, who had been single for more than 40 years, really had no experience.
The tea tasted delicious, and Hanyu Shunsuke judged based on his feeling that it must be the top-grade Gyokuro.
After sitting on the coffee table for a while, he felt a little restless so he simply got up and went to the kitchen to check. Hanyu Shunsuke did not have the habit of watching TV, although the Internet ecology in Japan was still incredibly rotten.
“What’s the new dish?”
Standing behind her, Hanyu Shunsuke smelled a strange smell and asked.
“Marshmallow cocoa fondue.”
??? Hanyu Shunsuke had a puzzled look on his face. He had heard of marshmallow hot cocoa and marshmallow cocoa milk, but marshmallow cocoa hot pot?
“Are you sure it’s not a dark dish?”
Shunsuke Hanyu’s face looked a little dark.
“Probably not. Although I haven’t tried it, someone else has tried it.”
“But by comparison, I was a little surprised that Yang Nuo could cook.”
Hanyu Shunsuke felt that she should be the kind of woman who wears luxurious kimonos, has sharp eyes, and is the kind of woman who should be on the battlefield or in the business world. Cooking is not something that suits her.
“The women in the Yukinoshita family are all very good at cooking.”
Yukinoshita Haruno just smiled.
“Then I’ll wait and see.”
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at the ingredients that had been prepared nearby, such as beef, enoki mushrooms, ham, lettuce and other common ingredients for hot pot.
She continued to cook the soup base. There was little smoke coming out of the pot, but Shunsuke Hanyu could smell her fragrance through the taste of the pot and the ingredients. Looking down, her round and slender thighs were exposed by the hot pants that could not cover them. The fragrance, mixed with something else, went into his mind.
“Does Yang Nao-san have body odor?”
He suddenly opened his mouth and smelled it.
“ah?”
Chapter 14 Yang is very big (old version)
Do girls have body odor? Hanyu Shunsuke’s physiology is a little poor, so he is not sure; but the physiological differences between men and women are not obvious, so body odor should not exist, right?
At most, the smell created by years of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, perfume and other skin care products has become deeply rooted and formed a kind of pseudo-body fragrance.
“No.”
As expected, Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head.
“But I’m not sure~ I don’t have it, but Yukino seems to have it?”
She looked a little hesitant. Although the question was very strange and had a bit of a teasing meaning, she thought about it very seriously because this question also interested her.
“Yukino-san?”
Hanyu Shunsuke touched his chin. There was no way to verify this.
Although there is a saying in my hometown in my previous life that “half of the sister-in-law’s butt belongs to the brother-in-law”, I think Chiba Prefecture in another world shouldn’t have this saying, right?
“What a pity.”
Hanyu Shunsuke clicked his tongue.
“Why do you ask this question all of a sudden? Although this question is indeed very interesting.”
This is what Yukinoshita Haruno was more curious about.
“Because standing here, although I can smell the aroma of the marshmallow cocoa pot and various ingredients, the most distinct fragrance is still coming from Yang Nao-san. So I’m a little curious if girls have body odor?”
Shunsuke Hanyu explained the whole story without hiding anything.
He really wanted Yukinoshita Haruno to resist his gentlemanly behavior, so that maybe the two of them could really respect each other. However, he would not deliberately do these things and just act according to his heart.
Generally speaking, in front of outstanding and beautiful opposite sex, men will always unconsciously practice restraint. This is the reproductive instinct of their genes at work. The closer the relationship, such as the stage of friendship or love, both parties will pay more attention and strive to show the best of themselves.
This was the case with the predecessor Shunsuke Hanyu, who tried his best to show off his strengths, hoping to have a better relationship with Yukinoshita Haruno so that he could invest more in being kept.
“I don’t know why, but it seems very logical to me.”
Yukinoshita Haruno looked a little strange. She turned around and looked at Hanyu Shunsuke with an uncertain look.
“Speaking of which, after Auntie learned about the last news, what plans did she have?”
Shunsuke Hanyu was still aware that the current head of the Yukinoshita family was actually Yukinoshita Haruno’s mother, his mother-in-law.
“No plans, just wait.”
“Things haven’t been settled yet, and we are not qualified to join in. So after the dust settles, we who are well prepared may have a big advantage in the bidding, right? Seize the initiative?”
Yukinoshita Haruno described it.
That’s right. Although the Yukinoshita Group is considered a leading construction company in Chiba Prefecture, let alone the Big Five, even the Kumagai Group and the Yukinoshita family cannot compare.
“Are you interested in what’s going on at home, Shunsuke-kun? You can ask me anything you want to know, and I’ll tell you everything I can.”
Yukinoshita Haruno put down the spoon she was stirring the soup with, turned around, leaned against the kitchen counter and looked at him.
“I wouldn’t say I’m interested, but I just think I should know the basics to avoid being exposed.”
Shunsuke Hanyu is actually quite curious.
His predecessor had actually done some investigations, the main purpose of which was to confirm that after the agreement with Yukinoshita Haruno was signed, the Yukinoshita family had enough power to help him operate it; but as a non-professional and non-professional, his investigation seemed a little insufficient.
Construction companies in Japan are different from those in China. If I must say, they are more than one level ahead.
Although both seek engineering contracts and then construction, Japan’s construction companies are still at the primitive stage compared to China’s construction companies. They have already formed a highly planned and constructed form.
The Yukinoshita family is a construction company, which sounds low-class; but in fact, it is considered a top industry in Japan.
After Neon Construction Company contracts a project, what the company needs to do is to organize a management team headed by a project manager, and then contact various other professional companies. They perform more of a management function; because they adopt the general subcontracting model, the management layer and the labor layer are separated.
“for example?”
Yukinoshita Haruno straightened her chest and stretched.
The scale was so huge that Shunsuke Hanyu glanced and looked away.
“How many subsidiaries are there under the group? The kind that produce all kinds of materials used on construction sites.”
The level of sophistication at Neon construction sites is so high that even the adhesives used are produced by specialized companies.
“I roughly know what Shunsuke wants to know. The company’s strength, stratification, potential, competitive quality, etc. I’ll send you a summary report later.”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t want to repeat something that she had already mentioned many times.
“All right.”
“Shunsuke-kun must have something to talk to me about today, right?”
Yukinoshita Haruno knew that the previous change of topic was very abrupt, so she started a new topic.
“Yes~Yano-san was able to get Yukino-san to come to me for strength. Does your family have any connection with Shinchosha?”
Shunsuke Hanyu became more serious when talking about business.
“It’s not a very deep connection, just a favor.”
She replied that the truly deep connection was one of mutual benefit.
“Something happened in the editorial department?”
She was acutely aware of something.
Shunsuke Hanyu did not hide anything and told the whole story.
“Shunsuke-kun is really quick~ He hasn’t even met my mother yet.”
A smile blossomed on her face.
Although the agreement has been signed and the marriage has even been registered, it will only be considered completely successful after meeting the mother-in-law and obtaining her approval.
In fact, Shunsuke Hanyu has always been curious about what kind of person his mother-in-law is, who could raise such unusual people like the Yukinoshita sisters.
“I just wanted to get some wool back.”
Hanyu Shunsuke’s expression remained unchanged.
“Although the relationship is not very deep, such things are still okay. To what extent?”
Yukinoshita Haruno adjusted her posture slightly, somewhat concerned about this issue.
In fact, Yukinoshita Haruno felt that Hanyu Shunsuke’s change was a little too fast. He was completely two different people after signing the agreement. Although he was obviously more lovely and interesting after the change, her curiosity would not be satisfied unless she found out the reason.
Moreover, after the changes, all the things summarized previously will be invalidated and need to be collected and summarized again.
“It’s fine to make things difficult for them at work; after all, Editor-in-Chief Tianyi will also seek revenge.”
He just wanted to vent his anger, there was no deeper meaning. Editor Fuchun was also a middle-aged man. It was too easy to cause tragedy if you make things difficult for middle-aged people, especially middle-aged people in Japan.
“I understand, don’t worry, Shunsuke-kun.”
She patted her chest, looking like she was taking on a big responsibility.
Some waves are surging.
“Very big?”
The hot air blew against my ears, and she came over with a smile on her face.
It’s really more interesting~not like before when it was dead wood and completely boring.
“Very big.”
Hanyu Shunsuke remained expressionless, and even gestured in the air with his hands before nodding.
Chapter 15: Yukinoshita Haruno’s Fluctuation (Old Version)
It’s always fun to be with Yukinoshita Haruno. Yes, Hanyu Shunsuke racked his brains to find such a common word to describe it.
Human relationships are inherently complex. You can love someone and hate someone at the same time. The relationship between Hanyu Shunsuke and Yukinoshita Haruno is undoubtedly complex within complex.
Shunsuke Hanyu was once afraid of trouble, but when trouble has to be endured, he must look at it from a different perspective, and the trouble will become an interesting trouble.
He was too lazy to look for and study why Yukinoshita Haruno was so different from the impression he remembered, nor did he want to know why she could behave so naturally and familiarly as if they were lovers; a good person pretends to be a good person all his life, and he is a good person.
If you pretend for long enough, it will become true.
The hotpot with marshmallow cocoa soup base tastes so wonderful that Shunsuke Hanyu doesn’t know what words to use to describe it, except to say it’s wonderful.
“I think it tastes okay?”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t like his description a little.
“Wonderful always feels too medium-sized to allow for free play.”
She said.
“And the chef is right in front of us, we have to praise him!”
Hanyu Shunsuke always felt that when she said this, she should put her hands on her hips and pout, but she didn’t.
“Let me taste it again.”
Shunsuke Hanyu doesn’t like empty praise, but once the taste has passed it becomes like a careful recollection.
He looked at the steam rising from the boiling pot, then picked up a wet potato chip from the floating dishes and chewed it to taste it.
“The taste is very good. The warmth of the cocoa and the softness of the marshmallows are soaked in the soup base, and then the concentrated essence is soaked into these dishes. It feels like you can taste a wonderful story when you bite it.”
Hanyu Shunsuke organized his words and praised.
“I always feel that what you said is vague…”
Although she said this, there was still a bright smile on her face.
Shunsuke Hanyu lowered his head to look at the dipping water in the bowl and smiled unnaturally. The way they get along is really weird.
The vegetables are all very fresh, and the beef is of carefully selected premium quality. Hanyu Shunsuke admits that Yukinoshita Haruno’s cooking skills are indeed quite impressive, and even if she doesn’t inherit the Yukinoshita Group and opens a restaurant, she can be self-sufficient.
At the end of the meal, two people each had a bowl of soup. No hotpot would be complete without tasting the soup base at the end.
“Oh~ It feels so good.”
The satisfaction brought by the warm soup in the stomach always makes people can’t help but moan.
“It’s really comfortable.”
Yukinoshita Haruno’s eyes were sparkling and there was light in them, and she seemed to have caught something.
“I didn’t expect that I could capture the feeling of romance with Yang No-san.”
Shunsuke Hanyu shook his head, feeling a little unbelievable.
“Putting aside why you can’t capture romance with me, is this romance?”
Yukinoshita Haruno resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him. She couldn’t release such emotions in front of him.
“What do you think is romantic, Yang-no-san?”
Shunsuke Hanyu slumped in his chair and looked at her.
“A bouquet of flowers? A candlelight dinner? A carefully prepared surprise? A thoughtful gesture?”
Yukinoshita Haruno described it tentatively.
“That’s too narrow a definition.”
“At a certain time and place, you complete the fateful encounter, then you discover its charm, and you fall in love with it; even a short moment constitutes eternity in memory; when you feel tired one day, when you think back to it, you will feel happy.”
Shunsuke Hanyu stood up and stretched. With a bit of luck, he caught a little bit of this thing on Yukinoshita Haruno.
“As expected of Hanyu-kun.”
After a moment of silence, Yukinoshita Yang praised.
“Speaking of which, my debut work is out.”
Shunsuke Hanyu stood up and stretched. He had finished his meal but hadn’t finished his business yet.
His predecessor was an extremely stable person, or someone who could not afford failure. Hanyu Shunsuke could understand his approach; he had no capital to fail at all. Once he failed, he would have to spend more time filling the hole, and he might even not be able to get up again in his entire life.
Therefore, he chose to work as an editor for a few years first, and only when he truly understood the market and the readers would he start writing. He was managing his own life; and now Shunsuke Hanyu is enjoying his life.
He was extremely cautious in his treatment of Yukinoshita Haruno, so Yukinoshita Haruno was also cautious in his treatment of him. They stubbornly measured the distance between each other, not an inch more or less. They accurately found the distance that should be maintained after the agreement was signed and held their ground.
However, Shunsuke Hanyu broke the distance with just one sentence: “Can the agreement be cancelled?”
“So soon?”
Yukinoshita Haruno was a little surprised. He had once told her about his plans, and she certainly believed in his talents. Anyone who was valued by Professor Kawabata must have talent, but wouldn’t it be three years later?
“This is my gift to the world.”
Shunsuke Hanyu stretched out his hand and grasped the air, grasping nothing, yet it seemed as if he grasped everything.
“Want to see it?”
He turned and looked at Yukinoshita Haruno.
“Of course! After all, it was written by me, ‘Anada’?”
The word “dear” always sounds different when it comes out of her mouth.
Shunsuke Hanyu sent her the electronic file via email.
Neon mail is everything.
“Unnatural death?”
Yukinoshita Haruno read the title and looked at him curiously.
“As the name suggests, it is either a natural death or an unnatural death.”
Hanyu Shunsuke took a sip of the tea.
The things on the table had not been cleared yet, and Yukinoshita Haruno lowered her head to read.
‘How can this be? A person is declared dead, so everything about him is meaningless? No, the medical examiner speaks for the dead. I don’t believe he is such a person, so I want to find the answer! ‘
‘There is also a detective in murder cases who seeks the truth. I am the detective for those who died of unnatural causes, looking for a truth that no one cares about but is just for self-satisfaction. But the truth is the truth because it is there and cannot be buried just because someone dies.’
Yukinoshita Haruno had to admit that this guy’s writing style was extremely powerful. These words that penetrated into her heart really made Yukinoshita Haruno interested in what was to come.
It was quiet while reading, and Hanyu Shunsuke remained quiet and waited for her.
“Is it over?”
After a long time, Yukinoshita Haruno raised her head and asked him.
“That’s all I wrote.”
Shunsuke Hanyu moved his arms; it felt a bit painful from playing with his phone.
“So there are really so many people in Japan who commit suicide every year just because of a random reason like heart disease?”
“Who knows? But it’s true that there’s only one medical examiner per county.”
The counties in Japan are not the counties in China. Japan only has 43 counties in total.
“It’s going to sell well.”
Yukinoshita Haruno put down her phone.
She rarely loses her temper.
Yukinoshita Haruno, a person whose soul sits deep in her body and looks at the world indifferently, Hanyu Shunsuke can feel the indifference from the depths of her smile, even though the smile is extremely sincere, even though she is so proactive in closing the distance and releasing goodwill, as if they are really ambiguous people.
But now, she wavered.
What should he write next? As Shunsuke Hanyu looked at her, inspiration came to his mind. He felt sorry for her and wanted to write something for her.
Chapter 16 Visiting the Mentor (Old Version)
The Yukinoshita family’s connections are mainly concentrated in Chiba Prefecture. Although they also know publishing houses that can radiate to Tokyo, Hanyu Shunsuke feels that it is still not enough and does not make much sense.
He already has someone powerful enough to rely on, so there is no need for him to settle for second best.
His predecessor was really a very capable person. He and Chitanda Eru’s mentor Kawabata were the only remaining world-class masters in the Japanese literary world. It was because his works won the jewel of the literary hall that he was specially hired as a visiting professor by the University of Tokyo.
Kawabata valued Shunsuke Hanyu very much. He believed that Hanyu’s pen could express the soul. Because of this judgment, he accepted Hanyu as his graduate student. Although he was often busy, he never forgot to teach. In comparison, Chitanda Eru’s further studies were somewhat dramatic.
Shunsuke Hanyu would not deliberately deny the excellence of his predecessor, because they are essentially the same person, and the writing of “Unnatural Death” did make him realize his extraordinary talent, that natural and smooth feeling, the ability to write down whatever feelings he wants to express naturally, and the feeling that words are helping him.
Otherwise, he would not have been so efficient. He wrote nearly 10,000 words in just one night. After all, he still had to look up information, conceive the plot and do fine-tuning. If I have to say something, I would say that he writes like a god.
When the main personality is asleep, fragmented and scattered memories often pop up and are received by the secondary personality. Those trivial things are like things that suddenly appear in a dream for the predecessor. He also wrote a lot of things because those memories are always particularly clear, forcing him to write them down.
Some of these essays were read by Kawabata, which led to his current situation.
On Sunday morning, Shunsuke Hanyu got up from bed very early. When you decide to visit a person who deserves respect, your words and actions will always become solemn unconsciously.
Washing, changing clothes, dressing up, these things that I don’t usually care about, now I have to consider them, but fortunately, in my memory, when I had private contacts with Professor Kawabata, he always seemed very kind and amiable. In the end, Shunsuke Hanyu just picked a plain suit that looked a little bit energetic.
He had also chosen the souvenirs for the visit. Originally, he wanted to buy some fruits. In Japan, bringing some fruits when visiting someone is a common courtesy. They are slightly exquisite and expensive but not time-consuming or costly. But later he thought about it and decided to buy something more meaningful.
At 9:30 in the morning, Shunsuke Hanyu set a specific time and went out to visit.
Japan is a society based on personal relationships, which is even more so than in China. This is due to the long-term stratification and the stubborn system of seniority and inferiority. Personal connections are very important and interesting things.
Shunsuke Hanyu was quite glad that the interpersonal relationships left by his predecessor were few but valuable. Even Yukinoshita Haruno was a very interesting person.
At ten o’clock, we arrived at the door of Mr. Kawabata’s house on time.
This is a residence that the government rewarded him with after he won the award. It is a small villa, a more exquisite single-family house, but it is in a great location, so it is also worth a lot of money.
He knocked on the door, exchanged a few words with the master’s wife, handed over some fruits and some tea that he had bought. This tea was the one he got from Yukinoshita Haruno last night.
“Just come over, why bring anything with you?”
The master’s wife scolded him. She recognized the value of these things and felt a little sorry for him.
“A little bit of thought is a way to show respect to the teacher.”
Shunsuke Hanyu spoke very well in the occasion.
Walking into the living room, Mr. Kawabata was sitting there reading a newspaper. Hanyu Shunsuke knew that even if he went abroad, his wife would help him collect the subscribed newspapers and read them slowly in the morning when he came back.
Hanyu Shunsuke had thought before that if there must be a correspondence in the past life, then Mr. Kawabata should be Kawabata Yasunari, who has the same surname as him? And their experiences were also miserable, but Mr. Kawabata was lucky to meet his current wife, so he was redeemed; in the previous life, Kawabata Yasunari committed suicide by swallowing a gas tank shortly after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature.
“teacher.”
Arriving in the living room, Hanyu Shunsuke stood and called out respectfully.
This respect is not because of his high status, but simply because he has always taken good care of Shunsuke Hanyu and is a respectable elder.
Teacher Kawabata put down the newspaper in his hand and greeted.
Hanyu Shunsuke sat down upright. His mistress cut the fruit and brought it to him, then she went to do her work.
“It seems like something has happened that made you change your mind and start writing ahead of time?”
Teacher Kawabata tasted it.
“Just buy some seasonal fruits next time.”
He said.
“Some things you see must be written down to make you feel at ease.”
He replied.
“It seems like something meaningful happened to you.”
Teacher Kawabata adjusted his glasses and looked thoughtful.
“Teacher, this is the manuscript.”
Shunsuke Hanyu took out the manuscript paper from his pocket, spread it out and handed it over.
“Hmm~~unnatural death.”
Kawabata took it, looked at the title, smiled, and began reading.
Shunsuke Hanyu just sat there with his back straight waiting, after all, it was not very convenient to play with his mobile phone or something.
His reading speed was not fast, or rather quite slow. Editor-in-chief Tian Yichun took less than ten minutes to read the manuscript, while Professor Kawabata took a full half an hour.
“The text has changed a lot from before; the idea is quite profound and the point is very interesting.”
Kawabata made an evaluation.
“A very good work should be able to stir up a thousand waves.”
He concluded.
“You are too kind.”
Shunsuke Hanyu felt a little embarrassed; although he thought it was pretty good, he still felt flattered when his mentor praised him.
“I think Shunsuke-kun is looking for me to ask me to find a publishing channel, right?”
Kawabata did not continue the topic but asked.
“Yes, I originally wanted to serialize it directly in Xiaoshuo Xinchao, but Xiaoshuo Xinchao has regulations so I had to find another place. But I don’t have any other connections so I can only ask the teacher.”
Shunsuke Hanyu explained.
In fact, I have come into contact with many people in the industry before, but those were when I was an editor. It seemed a bit strange to suddenly become a writer and submit articles to them.
“Are you planning to publish it directly or try serializing it in a magazine first?”
Kawabata asked.
“It will be all right.”
Shunsuke Hanyu doesn’t have any special needs. The main purpose of the first work is to gain popularity, so he doesn’t need to think too much about the other things.
“How many words does this work have in total?”
Kawabata asked again.
“About three hundred thousand.”
Three hundred thousand is just a small number in online novels, but it is already considered a medium-length novel in popular literature.
“Have you heard of the novel Huandong?”
Kawabata said.
“Of course, one of the mainstays of popular literary magazines.”
After all, Shunsuke Hanyu is an insider in the industry.
If we divide Japan’s literary magazines into pure literature magazines and popular literature magazines, the main literary magazines are “Shincho” and “Bungeijie”, which belong to Shinchosha and Bungeishunju respectively; as for popular literature magazines, the top ones are “Novel Modern” by Kodansha and “Novel Fandong” by Gentosha.
“Let’s try serializing it first, and then publish it after it accumulates popularity. Although the share will be less, the sales should be much better.”
He said after a moment of hesitation.
“The sales of the first work are still very important for writers.”
Chapter 17: Kong Yinzi’s Questions (Old Version)
After the publishing issues were resolved and Shunsuke Hanyu had lunch at his mentor’s home, he left.
In fact, sometimes he felt that the relationship between him and his mentor Kawabata was no longer limited to that of a mentor and a student, but was closer to that of a teacher and a disciple, but they had not yet formally entered the relationship.
Kawabata said that he would take time to meet with the editor-in-chief of Xiaoshuo Huandong with the manuscript for submission, but other matters would be left to him.
In fact, Kawabata’s relationship with Shinchosha is even closer, because the award named after Kawabata has been organized and selected by Shinchosha for several consecutive years.
However, as a literary giant, he maintains good relations with most magazines. When writers reach a certain level, they will take the initiative in interactions between magazines; and the status of Japanese writers is inherently high.
The matter has been preliminarily settled. Although Professor Kawabata said that he would only help him submit the manuscript and could not guarantee anything else, since he has already received Professor Kawabata’s approval, the editor-in-chief of the novel Huandong will not be so blind as to reject his face. At the very least, he will try to serialize it for a few issues. Moreover, Shunsuke Hanyu is confident in this work.
Although in fact this is completely his secondary creation.
Tokyo seemed warm and amiable on Sunday, and the pace seemed a little slower than usual, although the slowdown was insignificant.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at the weather and decided to find a place to relax.
Ever since my memory came back, I have been busy with various things, and it seems that I have never had the chance to truly relax. But in my memory, there is such a place.
Taito District, Tokyo.
Shunsuke Hanyu got off the train station and walked for three minutes to the door of the store.
He looked inside through the window and found that there were people sitting and playing chess. Knowing that it was open for business, he walked in with peace of mind.
The popular chess games in China are generally chess and go, while the popular chess games in Japan are shogi and go.
“Long time no see, Hanyu-kun.”
A young woman in a simple kimono standing by the counter looked at him, holding a folding fan.
“Long time no see, Sora Ginko-san.”
Shunsuke Hanyu says hello.
Both the former and current Shunsuke Hanyu’s attainments in shogi are quite low, but this does not affect his way of watching other people’s games as a pastime.
This is how I got to know Sora Ginko. This shogi hall was opened by Sora Ginko, but Hanyu Shunsuke often came here to watch others play chess, but he had never been there himself. After a long time, Sora Ginko, who was somewhat curious, started talking to him, and they became familiar with each other.
“Have you been busy lately?”
Kong Yinzi was a little curious, as he hadn’t been here for nearly a month.
“Some things took quite some time to process.”
Shunsuke Hanyu thought of Yukinoshita Haruno so he used a more vague statement.
“I see.”
Kong Yinzi didn’t ask any more questions but just nodded to show that she understood.
There are quite a few people playing shogi in the shogi hall. The popularity of shogi in this world seems to be more in line with that in the anime. Sora Ginko has a high status and reputation among female shogi players, so the shogi hall she opened seems to be doing good business.
“Is it still the same old rule?”
Kong Yinzi asked with a smile.
The charges at the Shogi hall are calculated per person. A refillable cup of tea is charged 800 yen per person per seat. Of course, there are other expenses, but they will be charged separately.
Hanyu Shunsuke doesn’t play chess, but he also needs a seat and a cup of tea, so he will choose to pay; he has always admired Sora Ginko, who is able to make a living from his hobbies, which is quite amazing.
“Speaking of which, why didn’t Kong Yinzi-san play chess today?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked, generally speaking, another clerk is hired to look after the store, and Sora Ginko will go to play chess with others.
“Junku-san has called in the day off today, so I have to watch the store.”
Kong Yinzi explained.
Junmu-san is a housewife who works part-time here. She came out to find a job for family reasons, but she occasionally takes leave because of her children’s matters.
“Hanyu-san seems a little happy today? Is there any good news?”
Kong Yinzi is more sensitive.
“It’s not a happy event, is it? It’s just a natural relaxation after being busy?”
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t know how to describe his condition.
“Want to play a game of chess?”
Kong Yinzi pointed to the chessboard on her counter. Even when she was watching over the store and selling things at the counter, she was playing chess with herself on the chessboard in front of her.
“You know my level. Playing against me is just bullying.”
Shunsuke Hanyu was speechless.
“I mean playing against other people. Even beginners can have fun.”
Kong Yinzi waved her folding fan lightly.
“I’ll just give you some pointers.”
As she spoke she began to laugh.
You can always find people of all levels in the shogi hall, some are very good like professional player Sora Ginko, and some are not so good like pure beginners like Hanyu Shunsuke.
Shunsuke Hanyu has defeated all his opponents, from uncles to young people to high school students and elementary school students; but he doesn’t feel angry.
“Want to play chess with me now?”
Kong Yinzi had been standing beside him, but had never spoken.
“You just said you were going to give me some pointers. I thought you were going to give me some pointers to win. But you ended up watching me being beaten by an elementary school kid.”
Although that elementary school student has played hundreds of games of shogi.
“I will definitely give you pointers on Hanyu-san’s mistakes after the game is over. How can you interrupt during the game?”
Kong Yinzi retorted.
Back to the counter, the two of them sat down next to each other. There was a chessboard on the counter on the left, which seemed a little unformal.
“Speaking of which, since Hanyu-san is in a good mood, I have a question I want to ask you.”
Kong Yinzi goes first.
“Please go ahead.”
Shunsuke Hanyu played very casually. He had never memorized chess manuals and played purely for fun.
“Mr. Hanyu didn’t know how to play shogi at first, so why did you watch it with such gusto?”
Kong Yinzi still remembers that rainy afternoon when he came in to hide from the rain and stood beside her, watching her and her friend play chess with a serious look on his face. Kong Yinzi even thought he was a master of some professional level, but later she found out that he knew nothing at all.
“I was simply admiring the expressions of both players as they racked their brains and used up all their strategies, as well as the changes in their demeanor as they were immersed in the chessboard.”
Hanyu Shunsuke said, or to put it more politely, he was collecting materials.
“People who study literature really think differently from me.”
Kong Yinzi rolled her eyes, finding it a little difficult to understand, but still expressed her respect for his behavior.
In fact, not kicking out this person who only watched the game was already too tolerant of Kong Yinzi.
“Hanyu-san has also started to sit down and play chess. It’s really interesting.”
She laughed.
“If you want to watch chess, you must play chess.”
If he said he was just doing it for fun, would he be beaten? He was laughing in his heart.
The sun was shining brightly, and she had a light, pleasant fragrance.
Chapter 18 Beauty Editor Machida Yuanzi (Old Version)
Neon writers are the happiest writers in the world. This is not an exaggeration, but an objective fact.
The reason for this fact is that even in this era of electronic reading craze, Japan’s paper publishing industry has only shrunk slightly, but it has resisted very tenaciously. A detailed analysis requires going back to the Meiji Restoration long ago or even to the formation of the Yamato nation.
“Have you made up your mind?”
He had just brought Shunsuke Hanyu to meet Hideo Kobayashi, the editor-in-chief of “Novel Fantasy Winter” magazine under Gentosha. After reading the manuscript, the editor-in-chief praised Shunsuke Hanyu’s work highly and said that he could pay the royalties of a senior writer.
“Of course, since Editor-in-Chief Kobayashi is willing to accept it, there is no need for me to refuse.”
In Japan, the price of serializing a novel in a novel magazine is calculated based on the manuscript paper. Each manuscript paper (400 words) costs about 4,000-6,000 yen. Of course, literary giants, top masters, or even great best-selling authors may have more. For example, Shunsuke Hanyu’s mentor, Flyer, was offered a serialization price of 50,000 yen per manuscript paper by Shinchosha, which is really a thousand gold per word.
The serialization price that Kobayashi Hideo offered to Hanyu Shunsuke was 5,000 yen per sheet of manuscript paper. This price should be considered relatively high, because the Japanese industry has not been very prosperous recently and everyone is more cautious.
“Are you going to continue working at Xiaoshuo Xinchao?”
Kawaduta nodded and asked again.
“Now that you have picked up a pen and entered the literary world, a regular job will become an obstacle to your creation.”
Professor Kawabata is an experienced person, as he was also a corporate slave before he took up writing. However, the work of corporate slaves in the 1980s and 1990s was not as heavy as it is now, but the psychological pressure was almost the same.
“But Editor-in-Chief Tianyi has been cultivating me vigorously. If I leave without repaying this kindness, it would be too…”
Human social relations are so complicated. Shunsuke Hanyu signed a training agreement with Xiaoshuo Shincho. Otherwise, why would Tian Yichun let him come to work while studying for a master’s degree? And the salary is not low. Although it is not as high as that of other editors, Shunsuke Hanyu has to work three days less a week.
“It’s up to you to decide how to handle this matter.”
Kawabata didn’t think it was a good idea to help clear the way for everything, and Hanyu Shunsuke was just a student, not a disciple.
Although the idea of ​​”Unnatural Death” is good, Kawabata thinks that the expression method and even the connotation and intention are not very good. He just tells the story of a forensic doctor chasing cases of unnatural deaths. In the middle, he reveals some social phenomena and the unnatural deaths in Japan, but there is no deeper exploration.
Kawabata commented that it is a masterpiece of popular literature with a good degree of commercialization, but this is not enough.
“Then I’ll be leaving first.”
He stood up.
Hanyu Shunsuke stood up and was about to speak.
“No need to send me off, just take care of your own business.”
Kawabata spoke again.
He walked towards the door of the meeting room and grasped the handle to open the door.
“I hope your next work will be even better. I’m still waiting to see it.”
He turned around and said.
“Of course, Master.”
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded solemnly.
My predecessor was an unfortunate person. He was abandoned after birth and had to struggle alone in society. The welfare home was not a very bright place; but my predecessor was also a lucky person. Not only did he meet mentor Kawabata, but he also met other very good people during his previous growth process.
Shunsuke Hanyu tapped his forehead, and he unconsciously distinguished the previous Shunsuke Hanyu from the current Shunsuke Hanyu. In fact, they are just the same person, aren’t they?
When the memory was restored, that personality left only one sentence “Live a good life” and disappeared indifferently, as if the meaning of his existence had been achieved and there was nothing left in the world worth him staying for.
And Shunsuke Hanyu certainly wouldn’t let him down, and it was also his idea to live a good life!
The door to the conference room opened again.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Hanyu, something urgent happened in the editorial department just now. I kept you waiting for a long time.”
Hideo Kobayashi’s etiquette is impeccable.
“It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry anyway.”
Hanyu Shunsuke also smiled and shook his head.
“I am sorry for being so slow. Please forgive me.”
Hideo Kobayashi sat down in the main seat.
“So~ have you thought about it? Have you decided to serialize it in the novel Fantasy Winter, or do you have other considerations?”
He asked a core question.
“Editor-in-Chief Kobayashi is so sincere, how could I let him down?”
Shunsuke Hanyu stood up and held out his hand with a smile.
“Please give me more advice in the future.”
“Please give me your guidance.”
Kobayashi Hideo also extended his hand.
Of course, things won’t be solved perfectly just by shaking hands.
“I’ve already had the contract printed out. As for the editor, do you have any requirements, Mr. Hanyu? We have a lot of beautiful editors in Fantasy Winter Club.”
Hideo Kobayashi made a joke.
They have come to Hideo Kobayashi’s office in the editorial department to handle follow-up matters.
“You can arrange it.”
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled and shook his head.
“No matter how beautiful a woman is, she won’t be beautiful anymore if she becomes an editor.”
“I forgot that you are also an editor of Shinchosha. It’s easy for people to overlook the fact that you didn’t serialize there but came to us instead.”
Kobayashi Hideo looked at his head, seeming a little embarrassed.
“The main reason is that Shinchosha’s rules do not allow internal staff to serialize. After all, it would make people feel that it is unfair.”
Shunsuke Hanyu knew that he was asking the reason. It was not easy for him to ask when Professor Kawabata was around, but now that there were only two of them, he could ask indirectly.
“Your society is really well-organized.”
Kobayashi Hideo laughed a little.
He was not a three-year-old child. This kind of rule also existed within Huandong Society, but it was actually just for show. Someone was obstructing it? But it didn’t matter. Through the transparent French window, he saw the editor he had chosen walk in with the contract.
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Kobayashi Hideo said.
Hanyu Shunsuke glanced over and felt that he should take back what he had just said: Even a beautiful woman will not be beautiful anymore after becoming an editor.
There are indeed beautiful women in every walk of life.
“Let me introduce you. This is your editor, Machida Sonoko, the deputy editor-in-chief of Gentosha.
Kobayashi Hideo stood up from his seat.
“This is Mr. Shunsuke Hanyu, the author of Unnatural Death.”
Hanyu Shunsuke stood up and held out his hand.
“Please give me your guidance, Editor Machida.”
The combination of white shirt, small suit, high heels and black stockings is so sweet? Hanyu Shunsuke adjusted his glasses, they were so big.
Chapter 19 Yang No’s Yoga Pants (Old Version)
The manuscript that Shunsuke Hanyu submitted had a total of 9,400 words. Based on the price of 5,000 yen per sheet of manuscript paper with 400 words, he could receive a remuneration of 117,500 yen, which is about 7,050 yuan in RMB.
Shunsuke Hanyu made a preliminary calculation of his royalties and instinctively converted the exchange rate, and found that being a writer is indeed a happy profession.
After exchanging work email addresses and mobile phone numbers with Machida Sonoko, Hanyu Shunsuke said goodbye and left the editorial department of Gentosha.
Although Machida Sonoko is indeed very beautiful, she is not a standard Japanese beauty, but a slightly plump beauty. Her face, thighs, and chest all appear fuller, but the proportions of her facial features are also very delicate, and her dressing style and temperament are also very online.
This reminded Shunsuke Hanyu of his dream when he became a writer: to marry a beautiful editor and make her his wife.
But would it be considered bigamy? This thought immediately dispelled all the thoughts boiling in his mind.
Sighing, Hanyu Shunsuke calmed down. To enjoy life, you don’t have to be involved with women. A man should have no worries about not having a wife. It’s better to get married and start a family first before making a decision! When the time comes, you will bloom like a flower and the fragrance will come naturally.
He sent a message to tell Yukinoshita Haruno that his work had been confirmed to be serialized in Gentosha and would be published next Friday; this was what Yukinoshita Haruno requested after he showed it to her the night before.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at the time, it was 3:15 in the afternoon.
I was supposed to be studying on a research topic in the laboratory today, but since Professor Kawabata brought me out to do some work and didn’t call me back, it means that Shunsuke Hanyu is currently free.
“Great? Wanna celebrate? I happen to have nothing to do here. Besides, my father wants to see you.”
Yukinoshita Haruno replied to the message quickly. She is now waiting for the final thesis defense and then getting her diploma and graduating. Naturally, she has no time to rest when she is busy, and she is idle when she is free.
“???”
Shunsuke Hanyu sent back a few question marks.
Whenever I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
“Of course we have to meet the parents. We have already registered our marriage, so why don’t we meet the parents?”
Yukinoshita Haruno seems to type quite fast.
Hanyu Shunsuke pinched the bridge of his nose and forced himself to calm down.
So, what does it mean to register the marriage without meeting the parents? A done deal? A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water? Hanyu Shunsuke was really speechless.
There is indeed no memory of meeting Yukinoshita Haruno’s parents in the inherited memories. I have always been meeting, communicating and negotiating with Yukinoshita Haruno. After all, Yukinoshita Haruno is 100% the next generation head of the Yukinoshita family.
For the previous Shunsuke Hanyu, meeting the parents was something that could be easily accomplished as long as he had good acting skills, and Yukinoshita Haruno would definitely help him, so he was not worried at all; but now, although Shunsuke Hanyu is not very worried, he still feels that it is a bit far-fetched.
You said that I, a virgin who has never even held a girl’s hand, was going to meet her parents? Oh, I have already held Yukinoshita Haruno’s hand.
“About what time?”
This is something inevitable. Although Shunsuke Hanyu finds it troublesome, there is no need to avoid it. Just let it go. If Yukinoshita Haruno’s parents are not happy with him, that’s fine. They can get divorced after getting married.
“Sunday, right? Shunsuke-kun only has Sunday to rest, right? If we finish meeting in the morning, we can rest in the afternoon, or sleep in in the morning and rest in the afternoon?”
The text message reply arrived.
It’s really in their style for Hanyu Shunsuke to talk about this through text messages.
“I’ll come over first, and we’ll talk when we meet. Where are you now?”
SMS delivered.
“apartment.’
Hanyu Shunsuke checked his location and headed for the nearby tram station, ready to go to Chiba University. So should he buy a car? However, it would take more than an hour to drive from downtown Tokyo to Chiba University, which is not as good as taking the tram.
Fifty minutes later, at Yukinoshita Haruno Apartment next to Chiba University.
Hanyu Shunsuke sat in the living room, in the same place as the last time he came. There were still fruits and tea, and the taste seemed to have been slightly adjusted? Hanyu Shunsuke felt that it was more to his taste.
And Yukinoshita Haruno in front of him was exercising on the yoga mat. Her yoga pants, which were just at the top of her thighs, revealed her snow-white and slender thighs. Her tight and fleshy thighs were very eye-catching.
Shunsuke Hanyu used to like to use the word “snow-white and slender” to describe thighs, but he always felt that snow-white was an exaggeration. But now it seems that some people are indeed snow-white.
It’s a pretty standard abdominal muscle training, leg slimming exercise, and body shaping exercise. Shunsuke Hanyu knew about this in his previous life.
To be honest, the various postures that changed as she moved, the spring scenery that was revealed, and the surging, upright and soft body made Hanyu Shunsuke unconsciously lock his eyes on her.
Since they are husband and wife, can they do some husband-wife things together? The answer is no. Even the marriage law does not stipulate that husband and wife have the obligation to meet their physiological needs.
“Hiss~ My butt is cramping.”
After finishing a set, Yukinoshita Haruno got up from the mat with difficulty, covering her buttocks.
“After all, the more attention you attract outside, the more serious you will be in training inside.”
Where do so many people who can’t gain weight come from? It’s just that they eat a lot and exercise a lot. Where do so many people with golden ratios come from? It’s just that they do a lot of body shaping and maintenance.
“To be honest, I’m in pretty good shape and the exercise has been very effective.”
Shunsuke Hanyu gave a thumbs up.
“Give me more compliments.”
Yukinoshita Haruno waved her hand and drank some sports drink that she had specially prepared.
“First of all, congratulations to Shunsuke-kun for successfully confirming the serialization!!”
She sat down and clapped to create an atmosphere.
“Then, let’s talk about the topic we mentioned in the previous text message, about meeting my father.”
After she finished speaking, she took another big gulp of the wine.
“Ah~ I have no objection to this kind of cooperation, but can we meet them all at once? I’m worried that we’ll be exposed if we meet too often.”
Even though I don’t want to see anyone, I still have to say nice things on the surface.
“This was a private meeting between my father and my mother. I’m afraid she doesn’t know about it, so I’m sorry.”
She paused and continued,
“Besides, my father married into the Yukinoshita family, so he won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Ah, I’m not worried that he will embarrass me, I just feel so at a disadvantage.”
Shunsuke Hanyu tapped his head in annoyance.
“deficit?”
Yukinoshita Haruno gave her a puzzled look.
“Because we are just an agreement couple, I don’t get anything, but I have to bear a lot of obligations! So I feel really bad!”
Shunsuke Hanyu took the opportunity to express his thoughts.
“That’s true. Shunsuke-kun does have more obligations than responsibilities now, but I can only compensate you in other ways.”
She admitted it frankly.
Chapter 20 Yang No’s Invitation (Old Version)
Until now, Yukinoshita Haruno has never shown the strong attitude that would take the lead in this agreement. Hanyu Shunsuke thought that she would look at people with a high-minded and cold attitude, but she has always seemed to be more lively and cheerful like an older sister?
This often makes Shunsuke Hanyu unconsciously influenced when making decisions and speaking, because humans are visual animals; even if he knows that a person has had plastic surgery to become so beautiful, he will still admire her beauty. Even if he knows that Yukinoshita Haruno is probably pretending to be enthusiastic, Shunsuke Hanyu still enjoys it.
“Other aspects? For example.”
Hanyu Shunsuke seems quite interesting, and any ambiguous words used in the situation where a man and a woman are alone together will inevitably arouse people’s imagination.
“That depends on what Shunsuke-kun needs.”
Yukinoshita Haruno originally wanted to give some specific and useful examples, but suddenly realized that she seemed to have no such things at hand so far.
“The point is, I don’t need anything.
Shunsuke Hanyu collapsed on the sofa, looking at the ceiling helplessly.
If you face life with the attitude of managing your life, then investing for a few years first and then seeking rewards, there is naturally nothing that you can’t get. This was what Shunsuke Hanyu thought when signing the agreement.
But if you face life with the attitude of enjoying life, then every moment must become meaningful and important.
“This is a big problem.”
Yukinoshita Haruno’s eyes were slightly dim, which was what she would do when she looked at someone seriously.
The complexity of human beings is really interesting. She has always believed that changes would at least be limited to a certain range and would be traceable; but Hanyu Shunsuke’s changes have a sense of “today I know who I am”, with a sense of strange enlightenment without any trace.
This person’s personality changed all of a sudden, with significant changes in his behavior, response, and thinking.
If it were the same person as before, the atmosphere between them now would never be so good. Yukinoshita Haruno actually admired Hanyu Shunsuke very much, because that person’s attitude towards life and wisdom and character were excellent, but she would sometimes feel bored, because although two similar people would get close to each other because of the need for interests, they would never get too close to each other.
Yukinoshita Haruno counted the contacts she had with Hanyu Shunsuke after signing the agreement: one afternoon tea with hot springs, one marshmallow cocoa hot pot, and today’s chat; although she deliberately controlled the atmosphere, he did not put on a cold face or reject him with mechanical and rational words and attitude.
Ah~~ She felt her heart beating faster. When facing interesting people, she couldn’t help but reveal her true nature. If she could witness and feel something more interesting, it would not be impossible to give something more.
“Hmm~ After Shunsuke-kun starts serializing this time, can I help with the promotion?”
Yukinoshita Haruno thought about it and found a point.
“No.”
Hanyu Shunsuke shook his head and refused.
“The instructor is watching this work. Although promoting it is not an evil way, I don’t want him to know about you.”
Shunsuke Hanyu is very straightforward.
Although they only had a few brief contacts after his memory was restored, Mr. Kawabata was indeed an elder whom Shunsuke Hanyu could rely on. This was probably partly because Mr. Kawabata had no children.
“What should we do then?”
She kicked the ball back to Shunsuke Hanyu.
“Put it on the account. There’s still a long way to go, Yang Naisang.”
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled meaningfully.
“I don’t really like owing people.”
She frowned.
“We are husband and wife, and husband and wife have the obligation to support each other, right?”
Shunsuke Hanyu is talking nonsense. It is just support, not maintenance. Support is conditional.
“Tsk~”
Yukinoshita Haruno rolled her eyes and sneered at this half-hearted excuse, but didn’t say anything.
It is already 4:30 in the afternoon, and the alarm clock hanging on the wall is ticking. However, Shunsuke Hanyu is a little curious that Yukinoshita Haruno actually likes this style of wall clock.
“Then I’ll go back first.”
He stood up, said goodbye and prepared to leave.
“Now that you’re here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
Yukinoshita Haruno held his shoulders.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at her raised toes and felt like laughing for some reason. There are always some distances that cannot be overcome by intelligence and talent.
The bird’s-eye view brought by the height difference allowed Hanyu Shunsuke to passively capture a clear and round white area.
“Since we’re here, at least have dinner before leaving~ And you can also have some fun in Chiba.”
Yukinoshita Haruno pushed him back to his position, and of course Hanyu Shunsuke cooperated and did not resist.
Although he had always wanted to ask Yukinoshita Haruno directly why her attitude suddenly changed like this, he always felt that asking this question would destroy the tacit balance reached between the two of them. Hanyu Shunsuke decided to find the reason himself as they got along.
“Let me make it clear first, although the marshmallow cocoa fondue is not bad, I want to eat something normal.”
He spoke up in advance to give some precautions.
“Huh? It’s obviously delicious.”
She pouted and looked gloomy.
It’s cute, but Hanyu Shunsuke really doesn’t want to be a tool for food tasting, so he remains firm.
“Okay then, let’s eat something else today.”
Yukinoshita Haruno seemed very reluctant.
“How about some okonomiyaki and inari sushi?”
She wondered what she hadn’t tried.
Shunsuke Hanyu thought the name was quite normal and nodded with relief and satisfaction.
“But we don’t seem to have these ingredients at home. Let’s go out and buy some?”
“Can.”
Shunsuke Hanyu is not the kind of person who would just sit and wait for food and do nothing.
“Then I’ll go change my clothes.”
She made a playful move, pulling the T-shirt around her belly outward and then pulling it back, an action she would usually choose when she was very hot.
By looking at the outline supported by the clothes, Hanyu Shunsuke confirmed once again that it was indeed very big.
Five minutes later.
She wore a black suspender bra, a red off-shoulder shallow V-neck T-shirt, and standard jeans and a pair of princess shoes.
Shunsuke Hanyu always feels that her casual wear style is different from the trend, but it always seems to unintentionally and indirectly highlight her greatness.
Going downstairs, there is a commercial street, snack street, and various supermarkets and convenience stores around Chiba University. The area around the university can accommodate all these businesses, and there are even more at the University of Tokyo.
Hanyu Shunsuke watched Yukinoshita Haruno choose ingredients, frowned, took out his phone and clicked on the search engine. Aren’t ingredients for Inari sushi mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, black sesame seeds, etc.? Why did Yukinoshita Haruno choose strange things like red beans, bitter gourd, and okra?
Would someone who can make a marshmallow cocoa hot pot follow the steps to make a standard Inari sushi? Hanyu Shunsuke suddenly thought of this, and his eyes became a little sore.
“I didn’t expect the ingredients to still be fresh in the afternoon!!”
Yukinoshita Haruno was a little happy and was humming a song.
Chapter 21 Yang No’s teasing (old version)
The combination of okra and bitter melon is strangely delicious. The okra used to taste a bit sticky, but now it is also delicious, and the bitterness of the bitter melon is also neutralized.
Hanyu Shunsuke must admit that although Yukinoshita Haruno is a dark cuisine maker, her cooking skills are indeed not low. I heard her say that the women in Yukinoshita’s family have full cooking skills. I wonder what the cooking skills of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are like? It’s impossible that they are also dark cuisine makers, right?
“Hey~ Shunsuke-kun, you are actually the first person of the opposite sex to taste my cooking.”
Yukinoshita Haruno had finished her meal and was looking at him with her head propped up.
Shunsuke Hanyu took a bite of the mixed fried rice and paused before chewing again.
“Wouldn’t you like a surprise?”
She pouted slightly.
“It’s quite shocking.”
Hanyu Shunsuke opened his mouth.
Anything special is very important to people. Meaning is a very valuable word in the spiritual enjoyment that humans pursue. Things that are related to something for the first time are often very meaningful and special.
“You don’t look surprised.”
Yukinoshita Haruno actually found it quite interesting. His expression perfectly echoed her expectations when she said this on a whim.
“It was so surprising that I was terrified.”
What Shunsuke Hanyu said was true. If we change the word “surprise” to “shock”, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with it.
“I just like the way Shunsuke-kun talks nonsense without changing his expression.”
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled happily.
“How can this be nonsense? I speak from the bottom of my heart.”
Hanyu Shunsuke tried to correct it.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and nodded.
Hanyu Shunsuke buried his head in his food, feeling that he could not win the argument with her. Shameless people are different.
Hanyu Shunsuke finished the food very quickly. The reason why Yukinoshita Haruno finished so quickly was that her portion was probably less than one-third of Hanyu’s.
Yukinoshita Haruno quickly cleaned up the dining table and the kitchen. Hanyu Shunsuke was worried that these would hurt his hands, but after taking a look at her gloves, the dishwasher, and the smart sweeping robot, he gave up the idea of ​​going to help.
After cleaning up, Yukinoshita Haruno sat back on the sofa, just like when Hanyu Shunsuke first arrived.
I turned on the TV and tuned it to Chiba TV, which was broadcasting a comedy variety show.
“How about Sunday afternoon, let’s have lunch together?”
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at the entertainers and audience on TV who were laughing so hard, then looked at Yukinoshita Haruno, who had the same serious face as himself, and said.
“Okay, shall I cook? Or should we go out and find a restaurant?”
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded.
“Let’s find a restaurant outside.”
Yukinoshita Haruno felt that she had captured something.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“Please trouble Yang No to arrange the restaurant. I’m only responsible for the guests.”
It was something that was bound to happen anyway, so I took this opportunity to seek something and just agreed without hesitation.
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t want to fall out with her, lest he be ruined by not being able to come up with the money; although Yukinoshita Haruno was acting like a perfect and qualified girlfriend now, Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t dare to trust her completely.
Besides, he was the one who signed the agreement, so it was in compliance with the law.
“What does Yang Nai usually do at night?”
Shunsuke Hanyu planned to rest for a while before leaving, as his stomach was a little bloated and he didn’t want to walk.
“Watching TV, reading, working, etc.”
Yukinoshita Haruno counted on her fingers.
“Work? Speaking of which, I only know that Yang No-san will join the Yukinoshita Group after graduation, but what specific position will he hold?”
Small talk naturally jumps between topics.
“You should go to the HR department first, then the finance department, and finally work on projects. You can get a position like director manager or something like that.”
“Although our family is the main family, there are still other people in the Yukinoshita family, so I have to gain some experience and make some achievements before I can take over naturally.”
If it were China, even if it was a private enterprise, if the boss directly let his children come in and get promoted to a high position, although everyone would applaud on the surface, no one would know how to oppose it secretly. However, in Japan, it is truly accepted by the public that children follow in their father’s footsteps.
Class stratification is no longer just a simple talk, but has truly become solidified to the point where the people have accepted it spiritually. The prime minister’s son is at least a minister, and the children of capitalists are definitely capitalists.
“Shunsuke-kun will help me, right?”
“What help?”
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t understand.
“Help me to carry on the family business and make it flourish.”
She said with a smile.
“Do your best, do your best.”
Shunsuke Hanyu barely made three consecutive hits.
After watching TV and chatting, Shunsuke Hanyu felt he had rested enough and stood up to say goodbye and leave.
“Are there guest rooms?”
Yukinoshita Haruno pointed to the closed door over there.
“Forget it. I’m worried I won’t be able to sleep.”
Shunsuke Hanyu rolled his eyes at her. This guy really liked to tease him.
“How could that be? The bed is very comfortable.”
She moved a little closer before speaking, her breath sweet as orchid.
“Have you ever heard a saying, Yang No-san?”
Hanyu Shunsuke adjusted his glasses.
She looked up.
“If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet.”
Shunsuke Hanyu said every word.
“I can swim! I also know Aikido!”
Yukinoshita Haruno raised an eyebrow.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at his elbow and recalled his fighting experience: zero, and his fighting skills: zero.
“Let’s go, goodbye!”
He waved his hand and walked away.
“Come back next time! I’ll cook something delicious for you!”
After sending her to the door and leaning against it, Yukinoshita Haruno waved goodbye.
Is okra bitter melon and Inari sushi delicious? Hanyu Shunsuke stumbled a little, looked back at her, took a deep breath, and then continued to walk to the side to the elevator.
Outside, the stars are shining brightly and the night is getting dark.
As they walked, Shunsuke Hanyu couldn’t help but laugh. Overall, everything was moving in a good direction.
I have to keep working on the manuscript of Unnatural Death. Novel Fantasy Winter is a weekly publication and I have to submit it every week, unless it is cancelled.
He also has to deal with things at work, and he doesn’t plan to resign yet.
After returning home, washing and taking a bath, Shunsuke Hanyu sat in front of the desk on the bed, dealing with editing matters first, and then writing.
Although he only needs to go to the editorial department to work on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, in fact, it is not a complete vacation at other times. People who submit manuscripts will not care about you, and the editorial department will not arrange anything for you, so it is relatively relaxed.
The unread emails in the mailbox were marked with the highest number 99. Hanyu Shunsuke took a sip of water and started reading them one by one.
“Window Lamp” by Xia Shizi.
? Hanyu Shunsuke was stunned.
Chapter 22 Yang No’s Praise (Old Version)
There is no doubt that this is a new world that is very different from the previous life, so the appearance of those once familiar characters is expected.
Shunsuke Hanyu counted the paper wives he had had around him and found that there were almost as many as one hand, so it was not surprising if another one appeared.
It’s just inevitable that when you see familiar and unfamiliar things, your mood will fluctuate unexpectedly.
This is a complete story. The word count told Shunsuke Hanyu that this should be a short story. He wiped his glasses with a tissue before putting them back on and starting to read.
The writing is delicate and substantial, the words and sentences are graceful and careful. If I have to tell the story, it is about a female college student who dropped out of school and worked part-time. She peeked into the man’s room opposite through the transparent window of the cafe, and then spied on the people coming and going on the street.
Hanyu Shunsuke first read it roughly, scanning ten lines at a glance, and then read it carefully again, word by word.
There is no doubt that this is an excellent work, but it is more of a pure literary work than popular literature, and “Xinchao” is the main magazine of Shinchosha that publishes popular literature. This work should have been submitted to “Xinchao”.
Shunsuke Hanyu marked this work on the form and planned to contact the author tomorrow to see what she thought specifically.
It is actually very difficult to discover a meaningful work. In fact, most of the time, we spend our time watching boring works, but we cannot relax our attention so as not to miss out on works with highlights.
At half past nine, Shunsuke Hanyu stopped working, played some small games on the computer to change his mind, and then took out paper and pen to start thinking and creating.
On the other side, in the study of Yukinoshita Haruno’s apartment, Yukinoshita Haruno opened a folder that contained the information about Hanyu Shunsuke that she had previously investigated. She looked through it again and found it a little funny, so she simply deleted the file.
She put on her work-protection glasses, took a sip of the sweet tea, and began to conceive the initial image of the character of Hanyu Shunsuke.
All the information she had known about Hanyu Shunsuke’s personality, hobbies, and other things suddenly became invalid. This certainly brought great pleasure to Yukinoshita Haruno, but it also made her feel strongly insecure. She didn’t want to have someone she couldn’t understand around her.
She thought for a moment, then began typing: confident, informal…
Looking at the computer screen, Yukinoshita Haruno deleted the entire line of words. He was a little strangely complicated, and a single word was not convenient to describe his personality, but one thing was certain, this guy suddenly became lustful.
Ah~ Of course, lust is a man’s nature, and a more elegant way of being lustful is the pursuit of beauty, which is impeccable. It’s just that in the past, he would always look straight ahead and be serious for fear of revealing any flaws. It is naturally reassuring to cooperate and get along with such a person day and night, because his reason will not allow him to do unexpected and strange things, but it is inevitable that he will appear boring, because he will think twice before doing anything, and he will be cautious at every step, which makes life a bit like a workplace drama.
But now Hanyu Shunsuke seems a little unpredictable and unpredictable; many times Yukinoshita Haruno feels that his reaction would not be like this, but it is like this; although it is interesting, it also makes her a little troubled.
This is a very important moment, and she hopes to have a stable person to help her through this period. It doesn’t matter if she jumps up again after taking over the family; but at this moment he has undergone strange changes, and Yukinoshita Haruno is very troubled.
Several attempts proved that his character and the way he behaved had changed greatly. Yukinoshita Haruno felt that she should carefully consider her attitude towards him; as for giving up on him and terminating the agreement between the two parties, such a thing was impossible.
She had finally chosen him as the contract partner, so even if something unexpected happened, she couldn’t give up easily. Moreover, this guy seemed to be a golden treasure. He was not from the economics department or the construction industry, but he could see some strange things? Was this the so-called “the person in charge is confused, but the bystander is clear”, or was he really gifted?
“Ah~~ This is so interesting.”
Yukinoshita Haruno slumped in her chair and couldn’t help but admire him. The more she thought about him, the more interesting he became.
“What excuse will you use tomorrow? Oh, he has to go to school tomorrow.”
However, interesting things are always precious and need to be cherished. Seeing them every day will inevitably become boring.
With a calm mind, Yukinoshita Haruno started other work and was about to move into the Yukinoshita Group. There were many things she needed to prepare and understand. Although she had already interned in the group before, she still had to prepare what she needed to in order to avoid any mistakes or omissions.
In the blink of an eye, it was morning and the sky was turning pale.
Shunsuke Hanyu climbed out of the bed with difficulty. His body’s instinct made him wake up at a regular time every day, but he actually wanted to sleep a little longer. However, when he thought that sleeping any longer would be a waste of time, he gave up the idea.
Tuesday is the time for seminars. The themes of master’s programs in Japan and China are similar, namely research projects, but the master’s program is two years, and generally speaking, students can graduate quickly if their thesis is passed. The main academic work is to work on projects with professors, or to undertake some work assigned by professors.
If it is a science research lab, it may involve various experiments, data and the like, but in most cases, the training in the Faculty of Literature is that the instructor sets a scope and provides a reading list, and then everyone makes a research report and exchanges ideas with each other, and this cycle repeats.
Professor Kawabata’s study room seems to be more free. He only sets a range of topics occasionally. Most of the time, he lets students do the research they like on their own. Those who like Hidden Verses study Hidden Verses, those who like modern literature study modern literature, and those who like the Misty School study the Misty School. Of course, this is mainly because Professor Kawabata is indeed knowledgeable and can answer most of the questions. He doesn’t worry about losing face if he can’t answer the questions. He is also happy to learn knowledge from students.
There are four people in Professor Kawabata’s training room, two of them are senior students, and the others are Hanyu Shunsuke and Chitanda Eru. After greeting them, Hanyu Shunsuke sat down at his seat and started tinkering.
Previously, Shunsuke Hanyu gave a report on the use of red verses in modern poetry, which was not very good. If his answers had not been novel when the professor asked questions, it would probably have been sent back for redoing.
He began to adapt to life in the seminary.
Chapter 23 Yang No’s Coquetry (Old Version)
At around four o’clock in the afternoon, life in the training room ended. Hanyu Shunsuke said goodbye to Chitanda Eru and two senior students. Professor Kawabata did not come to the training room every day. He would come on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as well as at a certain time that would be announced in advance.
Shunsuke Hanyu took out his cell phone and walked outside while playing. The academic atmosphere at the University of Tokyo was so strong that even someone who had been away from studying for a long time immersed himself in studying for a whole day, which made him feel a little tired now.
The knowledge and memories belonging to the previous life can be accessed at will, but the changes in thinking habits and ways of thinking will always cause some changes in the utilization rate of that knowledge, and the burden on the body and brain will also change.
At the south gate of Tokyo University, Shunsuke Hanyu just walked out of the school gate, preparing to go to the snack street to eat something and pack some food to take back to the apartment to continue his unfinished creative work. He was in a restless mood last night and wrote more than 2,000 words in two hours. He was really a little sad.
“Shunsuke-kun.”
There was a voice calling him, and Hanyu Shunsuke looked up and followed the direction of the voice—Yukinoshita Haruno.
“Yang No?”
Hanyu Shunsuke instinctively looked around and didn’t see anyone familiar, so there was no need to pretend to be a couple.
“Yano-san?”
He called out the name again.
Yukinoshita Haruno walked quickly to his side and walked side by side.
“Why is Yang Nai-san here?”
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at the smile on her face and always felt that something was not right.
“Didn’t you say last night that you were going to see your father this Sunday? After Shunsuke-kun left last night, I suddenly remembered that I should buy him some clothes.”
“By the way, let me tell you something that you might need to pay attention to. Of course, it doesn’t really matter if I don’t tell you.”
She didn’t look like a girl in love who was about to bring her boyfriend to meet her father. She seemed a little too calm and not shy.
“I’ll get it myself.”
He always felt that Yukinoshita Haruno’s motives were not pure.
“Come on~ Let me help as well! Otherwise I’ll be sorry!”
She acted coquettishly with puffy cheeks.
The tail is long and kind of lovely, but a little greasy.
Hanyu Shunsuke rolled his eyes in a state of despair.
“Shunsuke-kun’s expression is really interesting.”
She had stopped acting coquettishly and started smiling, her eyes sparkling.
Although she is very cute, Shunsuke Hanyu has a strange feeling. Is this girl trying to find happiness in him?
“Yang Nao-san’s coquettishness always makes people feel like they’ve come to the wrong place.”
Hanyu Shunsuke retorted sarcastically at her.
“After all, I’ve never acted like a spoiled child before, so it’s worth forgiving this first time! I’ll learn from this!”
She made a military salute and assured him.
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t know what to say. She had too much work to do and he didn’t know how to cope with it.
“Does Shunsuke-kun have a favorite brand?”
They had already walked side by side out of the straight street leading out of the University of Tokyo.
Hanyu Shunsuke shook his head. His predecessor had done research on this, but he didn’t care about his own clothes. After all, he didn’t have the capital to be particular.
“Then let’s go to some of the more famous brands first? Shunsuke-kun, you must be welcome!”
Yukinoshita Haruno suggested.
“I don’t really like shopping.”
Shunsuke Hanyu was somewhat resistant to shopping for clothes, and he was a little worried about his wallet.
“I’ll pick it for you. Just try it out. Of course, the most important thing is that you like it.”
Yukinoshita Haruno said,
“It’s not that I have to wear something nice when I go to see my father. The main thing is that I want to express my gratitude to Shunsuke-kun, even if it’s insignificant.”
She bit her lips and frowned slightly, revealing the pitiful air of a Jiangnan girl.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, and it was very warm now as it had passed its strongest time. The person next to him was indeed very beautiful, but Hanyu Shunsuke felt that this guy was a little pretentious.
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Hanyu Shunsuke held out his hand to indicate that there was no need to say more.
“I’ll leave these 130 kilograms to you.”
He entrusted.
“Please rest assured!”
The same military salute.
“If Yang is a soldier, he must be a marine, right?”
Hanyu Shunsuke joked casually.
“Why?”
She was a little curious.
“Because only navy uniforms have skirts.”
Today she wore a rare blue halter dress with pleated hem, which gave her a very girlish vibe.
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled.
beamsplus is a brand that focuses on British college and gentleman clothing. The first stop is here.
The clerk came up to her with a sweet smile. She was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to judge the relationship between the young man and woman.
If they were a couple, they would definitely be holding hands and being close, but if they were just friends, they wouldn’t be so close, right? They definitely weren’t siblings.
“Hello, who is the referee today?”
Yukinoshita Haruno seemed somewhat familiar.
“It’s Designer Takahashi.”
The clerk realized that this was a regular customer.
Hanyu Shunsuke watched Yukinoshita Haruno take out her membership card and checked it before the clerk took them straight to the designer’s office.
“Although it’s nice to buy ready-made clothes, I think it would be more comfortable to wear if they were custom-made.”
“Of course, ready-made clothes are also fine, because they are more convenient and quick; but you can also ask the designer to match the ready-made clothes for Shunsuke-kun.”
Yukinoshita Haruno always takes people’s feelings into consideration, making people feel comfortable as if they were bathed in spring breeze.
Hanyu Shunsuke thought it was a good thing that he had a universal word to use.
There was a knock on the door, greetings, and then the designers looked at Shunsuke Hanyu.
“What style do you need? Casual or formal? Loose or slim? Do you have any requirements for color? What about the shape? …”
The designer began to ask.
“Be more casual and relaxed, and feel free to do other things as you wish.”
Hanyu Shunsuke felt that he only needed to answer these two questions.
He handed the schematic sample to Hanyu Shunsuke.
“How does it feel?”
Yukinoshita Haruno has been waiting nearby.
“Well enough.”
To be honest, Hanyu Shunsuke still has the ability to appreciate art thanks to his predecessor.
“Then make a custom set for each.”
Yukinoshita Haruno made a decision.
Then he said goodbye and left. Hanyu Shunsuke was still a little puzzled when he walked out of the store.
“No need to pay?”
“It’s deducted from the membership card.”
Shunsuke Hanyu suddenly felt a difference in lifestyle. This was the feeling he had as soon as he walked into the store. This was a difference brought about by the accumulation of factors such as wealth and background.
He suddenly wanted to scratch his head. His predecessor’s actions did make sense in some senses.
“The next one won’t be so troublesome~ Shunsuke-kun.”
Yukinoshita Haruno looked at him cautiously; she had noticed his impatience before.
Shunsuke Hanyu suddenly understood why he had always felt comfortable getting along with Yukinoshita Haruno. She always treated the two of them as completely equals.
Let’s work harder to make money, Hanyu Shunsuke decided secretly.
Chapter 24 Novel Serialization (Old Version)
On Friday, Kotaro Ogawa got up early as usual and waited on time for the courier to deliver magazines and newspapers.
This is his habit. As an ordinary office worker in Tokyo, Kotaro Ogawa can only have a small amount of time to read when he comes home in the morning and evening. This is also an important activity for him to calm his mood and embellish his life.
He subscribes to four magazines and newspapers, including Asahi Shimbun, Mainichi Economic News, Novel Fantasy, and Shincho. In addition to reading the news, he also likes to read novels.
I got up early today so I had more time. After reading the newspaper first, Kotaro Ogawa picked up the magazine “Fantasy Winter”. The cover indicated the focus of this issue, including serials by famous writers and publications by newcomers.
Kotaro Ogawa was flipping through the catalog. He liked to choose works that were interesting just by looking at the titles. If he chose the right one, it would be a very lively way for him to feel better. After all, the morning time was only enough to read one work.
“Unnatural Death”? This title caught his attention. So-called natural death refers to natural death from old age, right? Then what about unnatural death? Or what can be written with this title?
He turned to the corresponding page and decided to find out what was going on.
Opening:
‘Many people don’t know, many people don’t care, and many people think that things after death are unimportant, but data never lie, it will only be objectively placed there, letting those who know know and those who worry worry;
In Japan, more than 60% of unnatural deaths are cremated without autopsies, which is the lowest among developed countries. In contrast, Japan’s murder rate is as low as 0.3%.
Kotaro Ogawa stopped chewing the bread. The article started with this data. He looked at the annotation under the text and turned to the end. The data gave the official source. Kotaro Ogawa took out his mobile phone and logged into the website. It was very authoritative.
He suddenly felt a little panicked. If he was murdered for some reason one day, would he be cremated with a heart attack or something like that as the cause of death? Would the real murderer just get away with it?
He returned to the original page and continued reading. He suddenly became curious about what kind of story the author had written.
“Taro, aren’t you going to work yet? You’re already five minutes later than usual.”
His wife’s voice suddenly woke him up.
Kotaro Ogawa did not expect that this work had so many words. His reading speed has always been relatively slow, and he likes to chew on words to get a more detailed experience.
“I’ll go now.”
He put the magazine down, packed up hastily and went straight to the entrance to change his shoes and leave. He paused at the entrance and turned back to take the magazine with him, thinking that he could read it during his lunch break.
“I’m going out!”
“Good job!”
My wife’s business came from behind.
He walked to the tram station. He was lucky enough to find that there was still a seat on the tram. Kotaro Ogawa sat down and felt a little bored, so he simply took out a magazine from his briefcase and prepared to continue reading.
He already had a general idea of ​​the author’s opening setting. Probably, this unnatural death was mainly from the perspective of the heroine, who encountered various unnatural cases. But what Kotaro Ogawa didn’t expect was that the first case would be so interesting?
The person who was believed to have spread the virus was widely attacked by public opinion. The couple who lost their son had to endure the pain of losing their son and apologize to the public for not educating their child well. However, the forensic identification and investigation results indicated that it was impossible for this person to spread the virus. Out of curiosity, Kotaro Ogawa continued reading.
‘The train has arrived at Ueno Station’
When the broadcast reminder sounded, Kotaro Ogawa closed his magazine as if awakened from a dream, and prepared to squeeze out with the crowded crowd. He was so engrossed in reading that he didn’t notice so many people pouring into the tram, but squeezing into the tram every day has become a standard activity for him.
However, Ogawa, who had just finished reading this work, was a little absent-minded. He was wondering what was going on with the person who was attacked by public opinion? Was he wrongly accused or was the forensic investigation wrong?
After squeezing out of the train station, he thought again, after something like this happens, is there really a forensic doctor who would not want to give up the truth and run so fast to speak for the deceased? Ogawa Kotaro is already a middle-aged office worker, and he has a deep understanding of the nature of this.
It’s just that my heart, which had already been accustomed to it, suddenly began to twitch uncomfortably. I have been born and lived in obscurity, so at least don’t let me die unjustly!
He opened his phone and logged into the official website of Huan Dong Sha. There were always many people commenting in the forum section after the release of a new issue every week. Ogawa usually didn’t talk, but just read a little to pass the time.
“Has anyone seen the new film Unnatural Death? Can anyone in the industry tell me if the data is credible? I logged onto the website and it is indeed a survey published by an authoritative media, but I still find it a little unbelievable. After all, Japan is a developed country, right?”
Slide your finger to continue scrolling.
“Do you know the latest ‘Death Cause Life-Saving Promotion Act’ and ‘Death Cause Identification Investigation Act’? It gives the police chief the right to request an administrative autopsy without the consent of the family and without suspicion of homicide; but it’s useless because there are less than 200 forensic autopsies at Neon University!”
Ogawa Kotaro felt his scalp tingling.
There are many comments from other users under this comment because his content is somewhat professional.
“Does anyone remember the 2007 sumo wrestler murder case? Didn’t it prove that the country’s inspection work was rubbish?”
“If a society cannot even give an answer to the cause of death, then the policy of respecting life is just a piece of paper, isn’t it?”
“I’ve lived like a dog, and now I know I’ll be like a dog even when I die?”
Kotaro Ogawa took a deep breath, his emotions complicated and fluctuating, and he began typing.
“Hope to see follow-up articles.”
In the end, he still did not express his opinion, but just hoped to see the follow-up.
Because Ogawa Kotaro knew that even if he scolded the government to the point of stepping in, it would be meaningless. The government is like this. If you scold them, they will hold a press conference, apologize, bow, cry, and even commit suicide; but solving the problem? There is no such thing.
They had arrived at the company’s building, and Kotaro Ogawa took out a magazine and looked at the author of the work.
Sanming.
What does this pen name mean? But no matter what, he decided to pay close attention to this author in the future.
I’ll look up the author’s information during my lunch break.
Chapter 25 Congratulations to Machida Sonoko (Old Version)
Unlike corporate slave Ogawa Taro, Mikami Yuzu’s life is much more comfortable. As a special commentator for the Asahi Shimbun, in addition to writing news on the economy, Mikami Yuzu’s other main job is being a critic.
Because he is good-looking and writes good book reviews, he has a lot of followers on Twitter and is considered a decent critic.
She got up from the bed leisurely at nine in the morning, washed, had breakfast, and at ten o’clock she lay down peacefully on the lounge chair in the yard, then took out this week’s new magazine and began to read.
A critic’s life is so leisurely and happy; her reading habits are different. She is the kind of person who does not look at the table of contents but chooses to read slowly page by page. This is mainly because there are too many clickbait titles recently so that sometimes she is too lazy to look for works according to titles and plans to write a book review to recommend them if she finds something interesting, but she often finds works that are not good enough, so later she just reads them page by page honestly, which can be regarded as accumulated reading volume.
It was not until around 3 p.m., after lunch, that she read Unnatural Death.
The works of newcomers are the focus of Yuzu Mikami’s attention, because famous serialized works have either been recommended by herself or by her peers, or they are very popular in themselves. As long as she finds an interesting new work, she can write the copy for many issues.
Each issue contains the author’s other works, prospects, and other aspects of the series, and contains the deep essence of Yuzu Mikami’s writing.
Out of professional habit, she first looked at the author’s name: Sanming; someone she had never heard of, a complete newcomer? She searched her memory of other magazines and newspapers, but still had no impression. Even if he was not a complete newcomer, he was probably not famous, so she made a judgment.
She began to read slowly.
“He is someone who has nothing to do with me. I can say that I have been running around trying to verify things, but I won’t get any praise, understanding or encouragement from anyone. They may even think I am stupid, naive and stubborn. But if I really wanted to get those things, I would not have chosen the profession of forensic medicine. If everyone is silent, as long as I think the truth is not like that, I will definitely speak out.”
This is a description of the heroine’s psychological state as a forensic doctor when Takahashi was determined to be the spreader of the virus and was widely criticized by public opinion.
Yuzu Mikami seemed to understand why the author chose a female forensic doctor as the perspective.
She began her professional evaluation: the writing is first-rate, the suspense creation is excellent, the plot progression is excellent, and the depth is only beginning to emerge, and it can only be seen when the first story is completed.
Did she feel like she had found a treasure? This is definitely a work that can be highly recommended; although she is also concerned about the abnormal death rate mentioned in the book about the perfunctory cause of death in Japan, she thinks that what the author wants to show is respect for life.
The death of life does not mean the end – Thoughts after reading about unnatural death!
She came up with the title of her copy for this issue. Inspiration struck her, and Mikami Yuzu quickly went to the study and started typing on the keyboard.
The quality of a nation determines its level of attention and participation in national affairs, and its tolerance for social ills.
The novel Fantasy Winter magazine is quite thick, and some people are used to reading it page by page, so they did not read Hanyu Shunsuke’s article immediately, and the sensation on the Internet did not immediately arise.
It was not until Shunsuke Hanyu got off work at the Novel Shincho editorial department in the evening that he received a congratulatory call from the editor-in-chief, Sonoko Machida.
“Hello? Is this Mr. Hanyu?”
He had just come out of the editorial office and was heading towards the tram stop when he received the call.
“Hello, Editor Machida.”
After exchanging contact information with Machida Sonoko, Hanyu Shunsuke had no communication with her except for a confirmation email from Machida Sonoko when the article was published.
“What happened?”
Hanyu Shunsuke was a little curious.
The contact from the editor must be about unnatural death. Could it be that it touched the sensitive nerves of the judicial and public security organs?
“That’s great! Mr. Hanyu, the series on Unnatural Death has received a very good response! There are already thousands of valid comments on the official website.”
Machida Sonoko came purely to announce the good news.
In fact, this is not a very good thing, but out of love for new writers, she decided to announce the good news first to stabilize their mentality so that they would not worry about gains and losses. This is part of her work experience.
“The new issue has only been on sale for a day, right?”
Shunsuke Hanyu remembered that today was Friday. From the time of sale in the morning to now, at six o’clock when he got off work, it was just one day.
“But the response has been good.”
Machida Sonoko said that in fact, from the moment she saw this work, the editor’s intuition and experience told her that this work might be a hit; in all aspects, it has all the factors that make a work a hit.
The gimmicks that arouse curiosity and attention, the wonderful narrative, the concise and capable writing style, and almost no shortcomings. The disadvantage that the author is not famous is also alleviated by the fact that the serialization place is the novel Huandong.
“That’s really good news.”
“This issue’s reader survey will not be released until next Thursday, so please stay tuned for the results.”
Machida Enko also smiled and replied,
“Also, please submit the manuscript for the next issue as soon as possible.”
She was urging the manuscript to be submitted when her occupational disease flared up.
After hanging up the phone, Hanyu Shunsuke logged into the official website of the novel Huandong with his mobile phone; even in Japan, where the Internet ecology is backward, magazines will still open an official website and divide the forum sections according to the types of books.
Repost: Death is not the end of life – Thoughts after reading about unnatural death; This is a featured post, there is a link below, and there are quite a lot of comments and replies.
Shunsuke Hanyu took a quick look at the comments and realized that this was a copy written by a little-known beauty critic, so he clicked on the link.
“As always, I opened this issue of the novel Fantasy Winter, looking for new food.
It was a very smooth read. The masters’ performances were still steady and gave me a full meal. But I couldn’t help but hope that there would be new works that would surprise me. Life always needs surprises.
Unnatural Death, a work that is obviously extraordinary as its title suggests, became this surprise.
I didn’t know that Neon’s unnatural death rate was so high, nor did I know whether the murder rate of a few tenths of a percent was caused by such perfunctory inspections. I didn’t even know how true or false the excellent public security that Neon is famous for was.
All I know is that this is an excellent work and thought-provoking.
Does the end of life mean that the dust has settled? We all think so, but there is a profession – forensic doctors who don’t think so. They believe that the dead also have the right to speak, and their responsibility is to speak for the dead.
…
…”
Overall, is it a boast? Hanyu Shunsuke concluded after reading it.
The comments below are like this,
“Just finished watching, the votes are drifting…”
“I have something. Does this author have other works?”
I think I will become famous with this book? Hanyu Shunsuke touched his chin.
Suddenly, a text message came from my cell phone, indicating that the royalties from Huandong Society had arrived.
Chapter 26: Response to the Novel (Old Version)
However, the uproar on the Internet did not bring any changes to Shunsuke Hanyu’s life, except that he went to eat a Mos Burger on a whim after the royalties arrived last night. By the way, he was in a good mood because he made a few thousand more words of progress in writing last night, which was enough for the next issue.
Novel Huandong does not have a hard and fast requirement for the number of words in each serialized issue, but the unspoken rule is that it is hoped to be at least 5,000 words. Although the manuscript fee is calculated based on the number of words, too few words will still affect the typesetting and readers’ interest in following the book, and may even affect the reader satisfaction survey ranking.
Many publications in Japan have a reader survey system. Of course, the most well-known of these is Weekly Shonen Jump. This publication has thoroughly developed this system. Magazines that rank at the bottom of reader satisfaction surveys will be directly cut off. However, not all publications will use reader satisfaction surveys as the basis. For example, the editor’s opinion of Shy is the most important. Even if you rank last in the satisfaction survey, as long as the editor believes that you have potential, you can still continue to serialize.
Of course, the attitudes of most publications, including “Novel Fantasy Winter”, towards reader satisfaction surveys are used as an interesting and weighted data reference.
“Mr. Hanyu, are you using your work Twitter?”
When he woke up in the morning, Machida Sonoko sent him a message. Hanyu Shunsuke looked at the time and saw that it was one o’clock last night. He couldn’t help but sigh and sympathize with her.
But then I thought again, I am also an editor and my predecessor often worked overtime, and I suddenly felt embarrassed.
Shunsuke Hanyu has his own Twitter account, but generally speaking, it is better to keep work and personal life separate in this kind of social work, so as to avoid being cyber-bullied when there is any public pressure. It is necessary to create a second account.
Before Shunsuke Hanyu recovered his memory, he had already browsed Twitter, an important social networking site, which contained a lot of his own information, so he decided to register a new one.
After sending the registered number to Machida Yuanzi, Hanyu Shunsuke added a sentence
“Go to bed early. Although you do have more motivation to review manuscripts at night, it hurts your eyes.”
This is out of empathy for people in the same position. After all, there are not many beautiful women working as editors, and even fewer like Machida Sonoko. I still hope that she can take good care of herself to stay beautiful for a few more years, and not ruin her body by staying up late.
“It seems that Mr. Hanyu is also working as an editor part-time?”
Unexpectedly, Machida Sonoko’s reply came immediately.
“Your rival, Novel Trend.”
Hanyu Shunsuke sighed again. The description of office workers, apart from being a joke, really fits the reality. It’s really pitiful to get up so early.
But then he thought that it wasn’t too late for him to get up, and Hanyu Shunsuke sighed again.
Although they are rivals, it is actually not a big deal. The status of popular literature publications has long been stable, and Japan’s class solidification is reflected in all aspects.
“I see. Twitter verification will be completed soon. Mr. Hanyu, please send a tweet to say hello.”
Machida Sonoko stopped there.
Shunsuke Hanyu thought about it and edited a tweet: The sun and the moon are bright, I hope every story can make everyone suddenly understand.
His artistic disease struck, and he deleted the words and changed them to: Sanming.
Short, punchy and perfect!
No longer paying attention to this, Shunsuke Hanyu packed up and went to work at Novel Shincho.
Voluntary overtime is really a perfect excuse for capitalists to exploit office workers. I don’t know who invented this idea. Hanyu Shunsuke wants to catch that person and strangle him to death.
Breakfast consisted of rice balls and milk from the convenience store downstairs. Hanyu Shunsuke had become accustomed to Japanese food, and he didn’t know if Sichuan cuisine would be super spicy if he were asked to try it now.
When we arrived at the editorial office, it was still a little early. Apart from a few editors who came early, there was no one else. The cleaner was cleaning the floor, and Shunsuke Hanyu came to the tea room and started making coffee.
“Hanyu-san, have you found a place to serialize your work? I have a lot of connections in the industry, and I need to introduce someone to you.”
A voice came from behind, Fuchun.
Hanyu Shunsuke frowned, and his opinion of Fuchun suddenly dropped. He originally thought that this guy was not a fool, after all, he did things in an organized manner. But now such a cheap sarcasm showed his low quality.
“More good intentions from Fuchun-san have been serialized in Huandong Society, in yesterday’s new issue.”
Shunsuke Hanyu adjusted his expression and turned around with a smile on his face.
Fuchun seemed very shocked.
“It’s mainly because the editor-in-chief of Huan Dong Society has a good eye for talent.”
Shunsuke Hanyu was making an indirect accusation.
“Congratulations to Hanyu-san, but as a newcomer, the first serialization may not be very good. I will go buy a copy of the novel Huandong and send a survey form back to help Hanyu-san.”
Fuchun restrained his expression.
Even if it is serialized, so what? Even if the platform is good, the new work of a new author will only be mediocre. Although the highlights of that work are good and may have the potential to become popular, the data is too sensational. Moreover, it is really funny for non-professionals to write forensic articles. If there are mistakes, they will be criticized.
“That’s really troublesome for Fuchunsang.”
Shunsuke Hanyu handed over a cup of coffee.
“Thank you very much.”
Fuchun thanked him.
“By the way, is Fuchun Sang’s transfer next month?”
“Yes, early next month.”
Fuchun looked at him deeply. The news of his transfer should be known to the editor-in-chief, but he also knew it. So the editor-in-chief was really strangely partial to him and directly took him as his confidant and listed him as a training target.
Having a high level of education does not necessarily mean that you have strong abilities!
“Then congratulations to Fuchun Sang on his promotion.”
Shunsuke Hanyu made a toast gesture.
“Thank you, Hanyu-san will develop better than me.”
Fuchun smiled and clinked glasses with him.
The adult world is so colorful.
Shunsuke Hanyu continued to work in the tea room. Although the serialization had already begun, the current royalties he received were only 110,000 yen, less than one-third of his monthly salary, so he had to work hard.
Fuchun waited for a while before coming out of the tea room. He looked at Hanyu Shunsuke and went back to his work station. He took out his mobile phone and logged into the official forum of Huandong Society.
Death is not the end of life – Thoughts after reading about unnatural death.
Featured, with nearly 10,000 comments.
Fuchun pinched his nose to suppress the bad feeling in his heart and began to read the post.
Chapter 27 Is this a genius? (Old version)
Fu Chunjian, graduated from the literature department of an unknown second-rate school in Tokyo, loves writing and is loyal to writing.
However, he had no talent and all his submissions during college were rejected. After graduation, he chose to become an editor as a second choice, and then married his high school classmate, and then became a social animal with a family.
Now, he is a middle-aged office worker in the prime of his life.
In the beginning, he actually had nothing against Hanyu Shunsuke. Although the way Hanyu Shunsuke entered was rather special, he was, after all, an excellent student at the University of Tokyo, and was still pursuing a master’s degree. He might as well study for a doctorate. It always takes a little more effort to recruit talents, so if he wanted to blame someone, he should blame himself for not working hard enough when he was studying.
Fu Chunjian is no longer at the age where he would complain about everything when encountering problems, but when he realized that Editor-in-Chief Tianyi Jun was training Hanyu Shunsuke to be the editor-in-chief’s successor, his mentality exploded.
He has worked diligently in the editorial department of Xiaoshuo Xinchao for more than ten years. Although he is not the most senior employee, he is the best performing employee of Xiaoshuo Xinchao except Xuan Gu. He has always been hardworking and conscientious, and has never felt sorry for his work. The annual salary increase is also a reward from Xinchao Publishing House to him.
Fu Chunjian didn’t have any other ideas. He just wanted to get a promotion and earn more money to send his children to a better middle school. Private middle schools in Tokyo were really expensive, and his wife was a full-time housewife, so his salary was a bit too much for him to afford.
At the beginning he did not show any special emotion. He just tried to prove that as a new employee, Shunsuke Hanyu was not capable enough, lacked experience, and was prone to making mistakes. He hoped that the editor-in-chief could change his mind. He did not use any tricks. He just found fault with Shunsuke Hanyu’s work ability. He did not find fault with everything. He just targeted his normal work.
It was useless as all the suggestions were rejected by the editor-in-chief. Moreover, Hanyu Shunsuke’s learning ability was beyond his expectations. He integrated into the editorial department at an extremely fast speed and mastered all kinds of abilities that an editor should have. Then an iron wall was formed.
Fu Chunjian gave up, but the more outstanding Hanyu Shunsuke became, the more jealous he became. Then he unconsciously began to target him at work, and even used his own qualifications to force other employees to take sides between them.
But what surprised Fu Chunjian was that he overestimated his influence. Other employees gave him face and maintained a normal colleague relationship with Hanyu Shunsuke, but ignored those who did not give him face.
With no way to get promoted, he had to apply for a secondment. The company evaluated his past performance and gave him a promotion. This was a good result, but he probably won’t be able to climb up any further. Employees who actively apply to be transferred out of their original positions, even if their performance is good, the company will still think that there is something wrong with you, and that you are not sociable.
He was about to leave Nozomi Shincho anyway, and when he heard that Hanyu Shunsuke had created a work of his own to be serialized in Nozomi Shincho, jealousy burned his mind.
The editor’s experience told him that “The Unnatural Death of Hanyu Shunsuke” had the potential to become a hit, with everything from the choice of subject matter, the concept, the writing style, to the depth. He could also point out other shortcomings, but those were things that seemed important but were actually insignificant.
But jealousy kept convincing him that this book would never become popular, would never cause any response, and Shunsuke Hanyu would never become famous.
~Fuchunjian ended his memories, took a deep breath and exhaled.
He began to read the post. He knew the author of the post, who was a well-known book reviewer with quite a few Twitter followers.
The analysis of the post is very good and the key points are in place. It should be able to divert a lot of attention to the work. The editor’s professional instinct is still at work at this moment.
Fu Chunjian put down his phone. He had to admit that Shunsuke Hanyu’s work seemed to be really popular.
Is this a genius? Fu Chunjian rubbed his eyes and felt a little sore in the corners of his eyes.
Become famous with one book? He vaguely saw Hanyu Shunsuke’s future.
But~it’s none of his business anymore, and his future life has nothing to do with Shunsuke Hanyu.
He gathered his thoughts and began to work.
Lunch break arrived quickly, and Hanyu Shunsuke was about to find a restaurant to eat. He was in a good mood today because he noticed Fuchun’s strange reaction at that moment and realized that Fuchun must have seen the response to his work.
He opened his phone and checked Twitter. The official Twitter account of Gentosha retweeted his tweet, officially certifying him as the writer who died of unnatural causes. The number of followers of Shunsuke Hanyu’s work Twitter account suddenly increased to five digits.
As usual, Shunsuke Hanyu waited until there was no one in the editorial office before he leisurely prepared to leave. Before that, he was sitting in his seat playing with his mobile phone and reading comments.
There were many comments under his only tweet. Some praised his thought-provoking article, some scolded him for being sensational, some urged him to update, and some asked for spoilers. Hanyu Shunsuke was always active in interacting. This was a brand new experience for him. No matter what the comments were, they were all recognition of his work, which was a feeling that his identity as an online writer in his previous life could not give him.
“Hanyu-san, would you like to have lunch together?”
Tian Yijun was also a little late today. He came out and invited Hanyu Shunsuke when he saw him.
“OK.”
Yoshinoya beef rice.
“Kobayashi Hideo from the Fantasy Winter Club called me earlier.”
Tian Yichun drank the flavor-enhancing soup and suddenly said.
“?”
Shunsuke Hanyu was a little surprised.
“They are both editors-in-chief of industry magazines, and the relationship between Gentosha and Shinchosha is not as bad as you think. Besides, Kobayashi-san and I are classmates.”
Tian Yichun explained.
Shunsuke Hanyu really doesn’t understand the situation of the older generation of editors. It seems that most of them know each other?
“That guy called me and mocked me for letting your work go. Wow, I was really pissed off.”
Tianyi took a big bite of beef, and the beef, which was not much to begin with, was left with only rice.
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t know what to say because it wasn’t Tenichijun’s fault in the first place.
“But Hanyu-san is really good!”
Tian Yichun took the opportunity to praise him.
“How’s the plot for the rest of the story going? If you keep up the standard, you won’t be far from being famous.”
He took a mouthful of rice mixed with beef and chewed it.
“There is some clue.”
“Although I’ve always known that Hanyu-san is not an ordinary person, I didn’t expect the quality of his debut work to be so high.”
Tian Yichun felt a little emotional.
“I have to thank Editor-in-Chief Tianyi for his cultivation, which allowed me to gain a foothold in Tokyo.”
Shunsuke Hanyu still knows how to say nice things.
“I was asked by your mentor to do that. If you want to thank someone, thank your mentor.”
“Forget about this work! For the next one, I will give you a higher remuneration than Huan Dong Society. Remember to come back and write a book!!”
Tian Yichun looked at him.
The cell phone suddenly rang, and Shunsuke Hanyu opened it and saw that it was Hideo Kobayashi.
Chapter 28 The Potential of Fire (Old Version)
“Hello, Editor-in-Chief Xiaolin.”
Hanyu Shunsuke answered the phone. Tian Yijun, who was sitting opposite him, widened his eyes immediately, chewed and swallowed hurriedly, then wiped his mouth and sat straight, staring at Hanyu Shunsuke.
“Teacher Hanyu, your new work has received a very good response. I came here to congratulate you.”
If he was just a new writer, even if he had made some progress, Hideo Kobayashi would not have called him, but Shunsuke Hanyu was brought by Kawabata, so naturally the weight he carried was different.
Moreover, Shunsuke Hanyu was a person who was rejected by Shinchosha itself. The better his grades were, the uglier the old man Tenichijun’s face became, and the happier Kobayashi Hideo himself was.
“Thank you very much, Editor-in-Chief Xiaolin, for coming to let me know. I’m sorry for taking up your time.”
Hanyu Shunsuke glanced at Tian Yijun and found that he was staring at him without blinking, feeling a little embarrassed.
“No way! An excellent writer like you should be treated like this! I hope you can keep up the quality of your future plots!”
Kobayashi Hideo replied with a smile.
“Then I won’t disturb you from dining.”
The phone was hung up, as if Hideo Kobayashi was just calling to congratulate and make his presence known.
“Kobayashi Hideo?”
Tian Yichun asked.
“When you voted internally, it was Master Kawabata who brought you there, right?”
Tian Yichun narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about something.
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded again.
“Fuck! ******************, that bastard has come to me to dig up people.”
A series of vulgar words came out of Tian Yichun’s mouth.
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled awkwardly at the gazes from those around him, and coughed lightly to signal Tian Yichun to control his emotions.
“Hanyu-san!! Shinchosha is your home! I will definitely give you a higher remuneration for your next work! You must come back to serialize!!!”
Tian Yijun stared at Hanyu Shunsuke with his bright eyes.
For experienced editors, when they see a work, they can judge whether the work has the potential to become popular even before it is released. And when a work shows signs of becoming popular, they almost know that the work will not die halfway.
Of course, it is not entirely certain that the first issue of the series will be a success, and it may end in a downturn. However, Tian Yichun pondered his observations and cognition of Hanyu Shunsuke and felt that it was almost impossible for him to start high and end low. Moreover, Master Kawabata was standing behind him, trying to win him over!
He had some respect for his own excellent vision. Although it was the director who assigned him the task of arranging a position for Shunsuke Hanyu in the beginning, he also tried his best to protect Shunsuke Hanyu afterwards, so he should have some affection for him.
I don’t want anything from him, but when he becomes famous in the future, when people dig into his history of success, won’t they have to mention that the editor-in-chief Mr. Tianyi had a keen eye for talent?
“Try as much as you can.”
Hanyu Shunsuke replied cautiously.
“But don’t let your guard down. The following plots must be kept up to standard!”
Tian Yichun instructed.
Shunsuke Hanyu continued to eat beef rice, but Tenichijun seemed not to want to eat anymore. He took out his cell phone and made a call. From the heated and generous conversation, Shunsuke Hanyu knew that he and editor-in-chief Hideo Kobayashi had a verbal battle and attacked each other.
Is this what they call a good relationship? Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t know how to comment. Maybe this is the world of adults.
After lunch, Shunsuke Hanyu returned to the editorial office to continue working.
I just received a reply to the email I sent to teacher Xia Shizi a few days ago.
‘I’m sorry, I haven’t been feeling well these past few days and I’m only now able to handle things.’
In fact, Shunsuke Hanyu was quite curious whether she was the teacher Kasumigaoka Utaha in his memory, because since Yukinoshita Yukino, Haruno, Chitanda and others had already appeared, the appearance of another Kasumigaoka Utaha was not unacceptable.
‘Are you available to answer the phone now? Telephone communication should be quick and effective’
Shunsuke Hanyu replied to the email.
‘Can.’
Shunsuke Hanyu made a call using the company landline at his workstation. This contact number was the one included when he submitted his article.
“Hello, this is the Novel Trend Editorial Department. I’m the editor Hanyu Shunsuke. Are you Kasumi Shiko, the author of Window Light?”
Shunsuke Hanyu has also been working for half a year and has extensive experience in making phone calls.
“Hello, Editor Hanyu, I’m Kasumi Shiko.”
The woman’s voice was weak and hoarse, and one could tell at once that she was indeed ill.
“It’s like this, Teacher Kasumi Shiko, I have some suggestions for you regarding your work “Window Light”.”
Shunsuke Hanyu continued the topic.
She replied.
“Since you chose to submit your work to the Novel Trend magazine, you should have some knowledge of this magazine. This magazine has always been mainly collecting popular literature and does not cover pure literature. And your short story “Window Light” should be considered a pure literary work as far as I am concerned.”
Shunsuke Hanyu said,
“So although your work is excellent, I’m sorry that this magazine cannot publish it in series.”
The female voice on the other end was silent for a moment.
“You mean this work is excellent?”
There was silence for a while before it started again.
“This work is indeed excellent, and your writing style is full of the delicate beauty of women. It is profound and memorable, yet has an indescribable charm. Overall, it is an excellent work.”
“Is that so? Thank you for your compliment.”
Kasumi Shiko coughed twice.
“It’s like this, Ms. Kasumi Shiko; although Novel Shincho cannot publish your work, Shinchosha’s Shincho happens to be a place that collects excellent pure literary works. If you don’t mind, I can recommend it for you.”
This is a normal operation. Shinchosha has more magazines and publications than can be counted on two hands, and it is common to encounter works submitted to the wrong place, so it is normal for editors within the group to recommend each other.
“Thank you for your help.”
Kasumi Shiko said gratefully.
“That’s fine. I’ll hang up here. I look forward to your submission. I’ll contact you by email when there’s a result.”
“Thank you very much, please.”
Shunsuke Hanyu hung up the phone.
Whether she is the one being speculated or not, work is just work.
The manuscripts to be reviewed today are still piling up, and I really don’t have time to do useless work.
At five o’clock, it was time to get off work. Shunsuke Hanyu left the editorial office, went downstairs as usual, and then walked towards the tram stop.
A familiar place, a familiar position, a familiar window, a familiar person with a beautiful smile, waving at him.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at Yukinoshita Haruno and was not surprised at all. He had felt that she would come.
Chapter 29: Congratulations from Yang No (Old Version)
“The first serialization of Shunsuke’s new work has caused a huge sensation! Congratulations! Please use the signature dessert Michino Tiramisu!”
There is something interesting about Yukinoshita Haruno’s words.
Hanyu Shunsuke rolled his eyes, not knowing how to respond to her funny response.
“This is what Yang Nao-san likes to eat, right? What does it have to do with me?”
Hanyu Shunsuke felt that she was not formal at all.
“It’s because Shunsuke-kun doesn’t like sweets.”
Yukinoshita Haruno pouted.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at her slight change in expression and didn’t know whether to say it was cute or weird.
“How many men like sweets?”
Shunsuke Hanyu uses a secret technique – killing a group of people with one stick.
“That’s not true. My father really likes sweets.”
Yukinoshita Haruno gave examples from her own life.
“My father-in-law really has unique taste!”
Shunsuke Hanyu could only give a thumbs up.
Yukinoshita Haruno ignored him and started eating her Mischino Tiramisu.
“Hina-san, did you come to me just to congratulate me? But it has just started serialization, and it has not been published or won any awards, so it’s not the case that you can congratulate me.”
Kobayashi Hideo and Tian Yijun are different. They are insiders in the industry and they can tell the whole story by looking at a single leaf.
“I believe in Shunsuke-kun. He has already stirred up a wave of public opinion, and he is not far from winning an award for publication. Of course, I will also send you the clothes I ordered earlier, because I have to go see my father tomorrow.”
“There’s cream on the corner of your mouth.”
Shunsuke Hanyu held up his face and looked at her, feeling somewhat bored.
She seemed to feel that she had lost some manners, so she stretched out her tongue and scraped it along her upper lip, then along her lower lip, perfectly recovering the cream from the corner of her mouth.
Shunsuke Hanyu couldn’t help laughing.
“what?”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t understand why he was laughing.
Shunsuke Hanyu learned her cream recycling technique and did it in front of her.
“So ugly!”
Yukinoshita Haruno couldn’t bear to look at it.
“You’re being sexist! I thought you were cute when you did that! And you think I’m ugly!”
Shunsuke Hanyu throws a powerful punch.
“I was wrong, I was wrong!!”
The apology was insincere, and Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t notice that Yukinoshita Haruno’s earlobes were slightly red as she lowered her head and continued to make ramisu.
“Yano-san’s thesis defense is about to begin, right?”
Hanyu Shunsuke calculated the time and estimated that it would only be within these two days.
“Next Monday.”
March is coming to an end and April is approaching. The cherry blossoms in Ueno will be in full bloom again.
“Do I need to go and cheer you up?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked with a smile, just asking casually and out of courtesy.
“OK!”
Yukinoshita Haruno agreed immediately.
“Although I’m a fearless person, I’m still a little nervous about thesis defense. It would be great if Shunsuke-kun could come!”
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled helplessly, having forgotten that he shouldn’t be polite to her. The good-natured side of his character always played a role unconsciously.
The tiramisu was only a medium portion so it was finished very quickly.
“You haven’t had dinner yet, Shunsuke-kun?”
Although Yukinoshita Haruno asked with doubt, her tone was still very certain.
“I just got off work, so where do I have time to eat?”
Shunsuke Hanyu rolled his eyes at her again.
“Shall I cook for you?”
The definite tone in the question sentence is the same as in the previous sentence.
“Does Shunsuke-kun’s apartment have a kitchen?”
The only thing Yukinoshita Haruno knew was that he lived in a single apartment.
“Yes, but it’s quite narrow.”
“But~ don’t bother, I’ll just find a restaurant to eat at.”
Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t think it was a good idea to take her back to the apartment.
“That’s also part of the congratulations!”
Yukinoshita Haruno can always find a suitable reason.
“And Shunsuke-kun has been to my apartment, right? My girlfriend should check on me too!”
Does it seem to make sense? Hanyu Shunsuke thought about it and found that it was quite reasonable.
He was too lazy to find other reasons to refuse, because she would find more reasons to fight back in the end anyway, so he simply didn’t waste time; of course, it was mainly because it was a trivial matter. If it was related to his personal interests, Hanyu Shunsuke would definitely have a long debate with her.
Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t say anything, and Yukinoshita Haruno took it as his agreement. She walked beside him and began to think about what to eat tonight.
“Is there anything Shunsuke-kun you’d like to eat? Today is a festive day after all.”
After thinking for a while and having no idea, Yukinoshita Haruno just asked directly.
“Everything is fine. Can Yang No cook Chinese food? I’m quite interested in this.”
Shunsuke Hanyu actually missed the taste of Sichuan Province in his previous life.
“A little, but not much.”
Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head slightly.
“But there’s certainly no problem in giving it a try!!”
She puffed out her chest slightly.
“It may sound a bit self-boasting, but I am quite confident in my innovative cooking.”
Very big. Hanyu Shunsuke knew that she never boasted, so the credibility of this statement should be the same as her breasts.
Big big big! Big bubble gum?
Hanyu Shunsuke discovered that Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to like wearing strapless off-shoulder clothes. When he got closer, he could always see a touch of whiteness and cleavage from a high vantage point because of the height difference, which made people feel emotional.
Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at him with her eyes slightly slanted. Girls are very sensitive to this kind of gaze, and those beautiful girls are even more sensitive because they have been stared at by various men for a long time. Yukinoshita Haruno belongs to the latter.
But she just puffed out her chest slightly, because she must be clear about what she was wearing. What could she see? There are always some men who think they have found a good angle to see the beautiful scenery.
Arriving at the convenience store, the convenience store in Japan is a magical place. You can even buy bean paste produced in P County, Sichuan Province, China, and the famous hot pot ingredients of a certain municipality.
There might be a galaxy hidden in the little bit that Hanyu Shunsuke discovered about Yukinoshita Haruno, but there is a lot of overlap in the techniques between Chinese cuisine and Japanese cuisine.
“I have practiced cooking the more famous Chinese dishes, but not the others.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Where did Shunsuke eat Chinese food?”
Yukinoshita Haruno carried the ingredients and Hanyu Shunsuke carried the clothes, and the two of them walked home side by side, looking a bit like a couple, at least in the eyes of the young cashier, who originally wanted a Line email address.
“One of my pen pals is from China. I treated him to a meal when he came to Japan for a trip. I tasted this at that time.”
Shunsuke Hanyu made this up casually.
“Is that so? Try on the clothes first when you get back?”
Her subject jumps quickly.
“Haven’t you tried it before?”
“Try again~~”
The ending sound is drawn out.
Well, she was actually just admiring her own vision.
Chapter 30: Buying a wedding house? (Old version)
Curiosity is the source of human progress, and the rewards from asking questions and then solving them are often the greatest.
But if it is personal curiosity, especially curiosity among the opposite sex, it will often lead to one consequence – fall. Yukinoshita Haruno has never noticed this.
“It’s very cozy.”
Although it is a bit narrow, narrow is almost equivalent to warm, if I need to use another adjective.
1ldk refers to a single apartment with one bedroom, one living room and one kitchen, so if you have to say it, it may be relatively cramped, but it can be considered cozy?
Hanyu Shunsuke put the things on the floor, took out two bottles of purified water from under the coffee table and handed them to her.
“I don’t have any tea at home, so I’ll just drink it.”
“A new habit?”
Yukinoshita Haruno took it and raised an eyebrow. Although most of her understanding of him came from investigation, she had been in contact with him for half a year after all. Even though they had not met many times, it was still a lot.
“Not long ago, I discovered that drinking pure water helps clear my brain and stimulate inspiration, so I gave up the habit of drinking tea.”
Shunsuke Hanyu continued to make up stories without batting an eyelid.
“I see~”
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded to show her understanding.
“Then try on the clothes first? If it’s okay, I’ll go cook.”
She asked.
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded. There was no full-length mirror in the living room, only one standing against the wall of the bedroom. He bought it for the sake of his appearance after entering the workplace. Before that, he always used a small mirror.
There are three sets of clothes in total, one custom-made and two ready-made, from different brands. The prices are a bit expensive. The money in Shunsuke Hanyu’s card is probably just enough, after all, it is a discounted price.
“Go out for a while?”
Yukinoshita Haruno placed the clothes on the bed, then stood beside them, folded her hands and watched with a smile. Hanyu Shunsuke asked a question.
“It’s not like I’m afraid of being naked. Besides, Shunsuke-kun won’t suffer any loss even if I’m naked~”
Yukinoshita Haruno thought this was quite interesting, and he looked particularly cute when he was shy.
“Get out~!”
Shunsuke Hanyu simply held her arm with one hand and pushed her back with the other, and carried her out.
Looking back, looking at the clothes laid out on the bed, Hanyu Shunsuke looked a little puzzled. They were really damn expensive! He didn’t feel anything particularly unusual, he could only say that they were indeed more comfortable to wear.
The money for these three pieces of clothing were all paid by Yukinoshita Haruno, because they were all recorded on her membership card. Although they were three different stores, Yukinoshita Haruno had a membership card, so it is conceivable that this guy must have shopped in these stores quite a few times.
The changes in consumption levels brought about by class differences are truly drastic, thought Shunsuke Hanyu as he tried on clothes.
But the feeling of being a gigolo seems, seems, maybe it’s not bad? To be honest, when Yukinoshita Haruno took out the membership card to record the bill, Hanyu Shunsuke felt a little happy.
But it was only a momentary happiness, and more of it was a feeling of powerlessness. Making money was given priority to Shunsuke Hanyu.
The first set of gentleman-style college clothes from bseams+, but after slight adjustments, it has become a casual outfit with a gentleman style.
“It looks great~!”
Yukinoshita Haruno touched her chin and looked around to express her admiration. She really had a good taste.
“Come to think of it~ Is Shunsuke the type who has muscles?”
She took two steps forward, poked his abdomen lightly with her fingers, and watched his expression change out of the corner of her eye.
“Do you think I, who graduated from the literature department and spent years sitting in an office, have muscles?”
Hanyu Shunsuke rolled his eyes.
However, it seems that I should add exercise to my schedule, as my body is not looking a little unhealthy.
“Too.”
Yukinoshita Haruno pursed her lips.
“Yano-san likes muscular types?”
Hanyu Shunsuke expressed curiosity.
“It’s not that I like them, I just think men who look thin when they are dressed and have muscles when they are undressed are quite attractive.”
In fact, Yukinoshita Haruno just wanted to try the touch of a man’s abdominal muscles. This was an experience she had never had before, and she heard from them that it felt very good.
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded, turned back to the bedroom to try on the second and third sets. Yukinoshita Haruno expressed her admiration, and the final decision was to wear the second set of clothes from the brand HeadPorterPlus; because it looks a little more energetic when it is handsome, and after all, Hanyu Shunsuke is still young and full of vigor.
The brand’s design slogan: Being young doesn’t have to be stupid is very popular with Shunsuke Hanyu.
“Then I’ll go cook?”
Yukinoshita Haruno took a sip of water and said.
“I’ll help, too.”
Shunsuke Hanyu has changed back into his original clothes.
After all, they were not a real couple, and Hanyu Shunsuke felt it was not a good idea to let her cook alone while he waited for her. After all, this was his home, not Haruno’s apartment.
“I forgot Shunsuke-kun is also a good cook.”
Yukinoshita Haruno laughed.
The kitchen seems a bit cramped. The apartment, which is less than 40 square meters in total, is divided into bedrooms, living rooms, corridors, kitchens, and bathrooms. Naturally, the area of ​​each place seems not very large.
Fortunately, it is still an independent kitchen. Shunsuke Hanyu once experienced the feeling of sharing a kitchen on the same floor, which was really inexplicably sad.
There is only one apron, which is tied around the waist by the chef Yukinoshita Haruno. It is an apron with Doraemon printed on it, which is quite cute.
Hanyu Shunsuke was cutting vegetables while Yukinoshita Haruno was making miso soup. Although they were going to eat Chinese food, they still couldn’t miss out on the miso soup.
“Speaking of which, should we buy a wedding house?”
Yukinoshita Haruno’s thoughts were a little jumpy.
“Wedding room?”
Shunsuke Hanyu almost cut his hand.
“That’s right~ A new home for a newlywed couple! It should be necessary! It always needs a sense of ceremony and romance!”
She was in high spirits.
“Cook well.”
Hanyu Shunsuke rolled his eyes and was too lazy to continue the discussion.
“Eh~”
She pursed her lips.
After the vegetables were cut, Yukinoshita Haruno started to heat the pan. Hot oil always splashes easily, and if it splashes on the face, it will leave some tiny marks.
“Have you ever thought about settling down in Chiba, Shunsuke-kun?”
Yukinoshita Haruno started cooking.
Hanyu Shunsuke was even more confused.
“After graduation, my main job should be working for the group, and being a monk is just a supplement. In that case, I should buy a residence near the company. If Shunsuke-kun can come and live with me, I’m sure we can develop a good rapport, right?”
“It’s much harder to see my mother than my father. I’ve always been trying to stop her, but there are always times when I can’t.”
“But I’m working in Tokyo.”
“It’s very convenient. I’ll take you to the train station in the morning. It might be closer than going to the company from here.”
Yukinoshita Haruno’s thinking is quite appropriate.
“Or buy a car.”
She said again.
“In fact, Junjie seems to have been refusing to accept these good intentions? But in fact, these things are the benefits that should belong to you after signing the agreement. This is an equal exchange contract, at least in our opinion.”
“And the information provided by Junjie-kun also helped me a lot and created a lot of intangible benefits.”
She put her hand up to block the splashing oil.
“I’m thinking about it.”
Hanyu Shunsuke frowned slightly.
“Junjie-kun~ Do you think we look like a newlywed couple?”
She suddenly turned around and looked at him with a smile.
Shunsuke Hanyu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he found that they were quite similar.
“Shunsuke-kun’s reaction is so cute! We are not like that, because we are.”
She kind of liked seeing his expressions of surprise, shyness, etc.
Chapter 31 Theoretical Master Yukinoshita Haruno (Old Version)
The popularity of unnatural deaths is still spreading, and Japan’s Internet ecology seems a little strange, but Twitter is still a relatively complete social software.
The core gimmick of unnatural deaths lies in exposing the so-called abnormal death rate hidden in the corners of society and the perfunctory autopsy rate in Japan, which is far lower than that of many countries in terms of abnormal deaths.
The focus on social ills and issues that are closely related to the public are always easy to get attention, so the term “unnatural death” has been listed in the top ten trending searches on Twitter.
In its previous life, this was a hit drama that broke many viewership records and won many awards at the Academy Awards, known as the Japanese Oscars. The lead actor Ishihara also completely consolidated his position with this.
Shunsuke Hanyu has deepened the connotation of his writing through his own writing, and also paid attention to the so-called rhythm and excitement from a commercial perspective. At present, it seems that this attempt is successful.
But this is nothing. All the famous artists in Japan have caused a craze as soon as they debuted. Shunsuke Hanyu is just getting started.
“It seems like Shunsuke-kun is really going to become famous with one book?”
Yukinoshita Haruno was reading to him various posts, articles, reports, and other things about unnatural deaths.
“It’s still a long way to go. This is just the beginning. Like I said before, it hasn’t won any awards, nor has it been a bestseller. It’s just a serialized work.”
Shunsuke Hanyu is able to keep his composure.
Soon after he got up in the morning, Machida Sonoko called him and said that he could consider taking advantage of the situation and directly publish the new book.
In addition to operating magazines and periodicals, Huandongshe also has publishing-related businesses.
Shunsuke Hanyu was initially tempted, but after consulting with Mr. Kawabata, he gave up the idea. The purpose of a debut work is not to make a lot of money, but to win awards and gain fame. Publishing certainly has a bright future and can make money, but this kind of work that is published after only one episode has many hidden dangers.
“That’s pretty impressive too.”
Yukinoshita Haruno never expected that his first work would reach this level.
Although it is still just a spark, the trend of spreading like wildfire is gradually taking shape.
“I think the most important thing now is how to deal with Yang No-san’s father at noon.”
Shunsuke Hanyu wanted to bring the topic back.
“Yeah, it’s actually quite difficult.”
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, otherwise she wouldn’t have come here so early in the morning.
“So since you’ve come here so early in the morning, let’s get straight to business.”
“Who told Shunsuke-kun not to let me stay overnight~”
“Okay, okay, let’s get down to business.”
Noticing Hanyu Shunsuke’s dark complexion, Yukinoshita Haruno pouted even more.
“First of all, we should show the same attitude and intimacy as a normal couple.”
Yukinoshita Haruno began to analyze.
Hanyu Shunsuke said he was all ears. He felt that Yukinoshita Haruno was a bit professional, and he was still a real single dog, so he decided to listen first.
“Details! There must be details that show how good our relationship is!!”
Yukinoshita Haruno raised a finger.
Hanyu Shunsuke thought what she said made sense.
“For example, calling each other names! Yang Nao-san is too unfamiliar! When others hear it, they will just think that we are just good friends, or more than friends but less than lovers.”
She borrowed many books from the library of Chiba University and read a lot of information on the Internet before she came up with a set of conclusions that she agreed with.
Hanyu Shunsuke felt that what she said made sense.
“Look at the way I address you. Doesn’t it have a hint of intimacy?”
She raised her chin slightly.
“So, what do you think I should call you, Yang No-san?”
“Yonano, Yangno-chan, or something like that?”
Yukinoshita Haruno was pondering.
Although there are also operations such as reduplication of words in names, that should be commonly used by high school students, so Yukinoshita Haruno is not listed.
“Yang~nai?”
Hanyu Shunsuke thought it was quite simple, but when he saw her face and she was staring at him, and he had to call her name, he was strangely a little nervous and his heartbeat quickened when he spoke, but fortunately he suppressed it and called it out.
“Shunsuke-kun~~”
Her voice is sweet, soft and a little numb.
Shunsuke Hanyu felt a little goosebumps.
“Then what.”
Hanyu Shunsuke changed the subject.
“And then there are the little details in the movements.”
Yukinoshita Haruno continued.
“For example, I pour you tea, you comb my hair, and so on. These are small gestures that show intimacy.”
Theoretical master Yukinoshita Haruno could only give examples based on her own guesses, because the examples in the books she had read were even stranger, they were all old-fashioned things like pulling out chairs and tying napkins, but the place she booked this time was a private restaurant of Japanese cuisine.
“I suddenly remembered something.”
Shunsuke Hanyu looked a little strange.
Yukinoshita Haruno gave him a question mark.
“Yonano has never been in love, has she?”
Hanyu Shunsuke spoke in an affirmative tone.
“So is it weird for two of us who have never been in a relationship to discuss something here?”
Shunsuke Hanyu himself is also a master of theory, but the difference between a master of theory and a master of practice is that a master of theory often has zero experience in love.
“I’ve read popular works on love such as “Idols Teach You How to Fall in Love”, “One Hundred Tips for Falling in Love”, and “Seeing the Truth in the Details”! I think there should be no problem!”
Yukinoshita Haruno was very serious.
Although she is a social expert! She can guide others in love and control people’s hearts easily, but when it comes to her own love, she still needs to read books to get some ideas, but she still doesn’t understand.
Hanyu Shunsuke thought she might be right.
“But shouldn’t couples like us who have crossed the line from being ambiguous to being in love be different from ordinary couples?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked again.
“Shunsuke-kun!”
Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes slightly.
Shunsuke Hanyu asked.
“You have too many questions!”
She glared at him.
“Sorry~ Please continue!”
Shunsuke Hanyu corrected his attitude.
“I just feel like we can’t show any physical intimacy just by holding hands.”
The spirit of a master of theory broke out, and he added something in a chattering manner.
Pain came from my waist, the soft flesh was twisted 180 degrees,
“Is this considered intimate physical contact?”
Yukinoshita Haruno looked at him with a smile.
“If you must say, this should count.”
Shunsuke Hanyu felt like crying but had no tears.
“snort!”
Yukinoshita Haruno snorted coldly.
Shunsuke Hanyu continued to listen to the love master’s theories.
Chapter 32 The First Pass of the Marriage Battle (Old Version)
The armor has been put on and the time is about to expire. There are only thirty minutes left before facing the first hurdle in this marriage battle. The atmosphere suddenly becomes tense.
“Forget about the tie! This is a casual suit!!!”
Hanyu Shunsuke sighed.
Today he finally got to see all the details about Yukinoshita Haruno’s dressing style, or are all girls like this?
“Hey~ Shunsuke-kun has too few matching clothes and shoes! Let’s go shopping again in a few days when we have time.”
Yukinoshita Haruno was really not satisfied.
“Did you remember what I told you before?”
Yukinoshita Haruno asked worriedly.
“I remember it, but there are few things I can use, right?”
Shunsuke Hanyu recalled.
“If you can use it, you must use it.”
“Yang No~ Although it’s not nice to say this, I still really want to say it.”
This idea suddenly came to Shunsuke Hanyu after he was tortured by the love master.
She was fixing his shirt.
“Even if we don’t act like a couple, your parents will think it’s normal! After all, you are Yukinoshita Haruno.”
Hanyu Shunsuke felt that this made a lot of sense.
She suddenly fell silent and the atmosphere became tense.
Hanyu Shunsuke thought about his words and found that they seemed a bit hurtful? But he really didn’t mean it that way. It was just that under the torture of the love master’s theory, his brain automatically looked for reasons to escape.
“Shunsuke-kun~ I’m a girl too.”
She spoke a little slowly, with a hint of subtlety in her words.
“Sorry, I understand.”
Hanyu Shunsuke bowed his head slightly and apologized sincerely.
“I’ll do my best to cooperate.”
“Even if it’s what Shunsuke-kun said, I also want to show them that we are in love, not just like a father and a mother.”
Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head and didn’t think he needed to apologize.
Shunsuke Hanyu captured some important information from this, that is, the attitude of not being a couple does exist among Yukinoshita Haruno’s parents?
“Shall we set off then?”
He didn’t think about it too much, he just wanted to end the awkward atmosphere.
“Okay~”
Her face regained its perfect curve.
“This smile is so fake!!!”
Hanyu Shunsuke suddenly disliked the socially trained smile that appeared on her face.
“Let me tell you a joke!”
Shunsuke Hanyu feels that he still has a responsibility.
[‘Senior, do you have a girlfriend?’
“No, I’m looking for it!”
“Well… do you have time this weekend~”
“Yes, yes! I’m super free!”
“Great, I want to go to the movies on Sunday.
You can take my shift that day, right? “
“OK!??”】
Shunsuke Hanyu also used a falsetto.
“Huh? Isn’t it funny?”
This joke is quite popular on Twitter.
“It’s not funny.”
Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head, her face slightly flushed.
“Let’s go out first?”
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded and followed her.
Walking downstairs towards the tram station, Hanyu Shunsuke was still thinking hard about a joke.
“I thought of another one. Do you want to hear it?”
“random.”
Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at him.
[My shoes were found in the trash can, and everyone worked hard to hold a class meeting to find the person who bullied me. The teacher also patiently comforted me. In this situation, it is really hard to say that I threw away my old shoes because I bought new ones.]When Shunsuke Hanyu’s memory was restored, he specifically searched for various jokes on Twitter to amuse himself, and now they have other uses.
But Yukinoshita Haruno still had no reaction, just pursed her lips slightly.
“besides!!!”
Shunsuke Hanyu is a little stubborn.
‘Brother, stop it, you can’t lick there, that’s the toilet!
Ignoring my sister’s cries, I continued to lick the toilet like crazy’
“Puchi~Hahahaha!!!”
She finally couldn’t hold it back and laughed out loud.
“Why are you telling such a dirty joke?!”
She laughed more and more wildly, and even held her hand with her hands while laughing, unable to help herself.
“So you were holding it in before?”
Hanyu Shunsuke touched his chin and did another
[Doctor, my buttocks hurts
No, that’s the exit’】
“Hahaha~ Stop talking! Please.”
Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed his arm.
“Ahem, stop talking!”
It’s gotten to the point where I’m laughing so hard I’m coughing.
Shunsuke Hanyu felt that he seemed to have found some strange attributes of her, but he had not seen many such jokes with color. There were quite a few in his memories of his previous life, but the jokes in Japanese and Chinese jokes should be different, so he had to look for new ones.
“Yang Nai looks pretty when she smiles like this!”
Hanyu Shunsuke waited until she was almost calm before praising her.
“Hoo~cough cough.”
Yukinoshita Haruno adjusted her breathing.
“At this time, I should say that any smile looks good!”
Love Master uses one of the hundred instances.
“Sorry~ Teacher Yang No, I forgot.”
Shunsuke Hanyu apologized.
“Instead of apologizing, you should say, ‘I mean you always look good, but you look especially good when you smile like this.'”
The second of the 100 examples of love master.
“You look so good when you’re serious~”
Shunsuke Hanyu applies what he has learned.
“How am I serious? What are you talking about? Do you like me? Do you dislike me after being together for so long?…”
Yukinoshita Haruno began to tease him.
Hanyu Shunsuke rolled his eyes and sighed, she was so exaggerated and her words were full of lies that he just felt funny and a little tired at the same time.
Love is so hard~~
The tram station is nearby. Bunkyo Ward is adjacent to Chiba Prefecture, where the tram system is extremely developed. Some white-collar workers who work here will choose to rent a house in Chiba Prefecture. As long as it is close to the tram station, the time spent on commuting may be less than living in Tokyo.
Coming out of Chiba University Station, led by Yukinoshita Haruno, the two of them headed towards the restaurant they had chosen.
She was dressed the same as usual today, without any special makeup, but a beautiful person will look beautiful no matter what she wears.
The taste of one.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked up at the sign name, which seemed quite impressive.
When it comes to Japanese cuisine, it seems that the only high-end and famous one is Kaiseki? If Japanese cuisine must be classified, it can be divided into three categories: Honzen cuisine, Kaiseki cuisine, and Kaiseki cuisine.
We are having a banquet today, because it is relatively simple and suitable for family gatherings.
The place was booked by Yukinoshita Haruno. Hanyu Shunsuke saw her familiar appearance after she came in and knew that she had been here before.
“That’s the one.”
Yukinoshita Haruno pointed at the wooden door.
When they approached the wooden door, Hanyu Shunsuke reached out and held her hand, and then naturally intertwined their fingers.
The clerk opened the door and walked away. The moment the person inside looked over, Hanyu Shunsuke let go of his hand.
Love Master Example 101!
Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at him. This guy was actually able to draw inferences from one instance.
However, all of this was seen by the people inside.
Chapter 33: Meeting the Parents with Yang Nai (Old Version)
Fingers interlocked? Eye contact? Yukinoshita Yukimine narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him.
If we have to talk about first impressions, they are actually a perfect match! But that is the way others see them.
I am Yang Nai’s father! You are so unruly in front of me! You must be a frivolous person.
“Shunsuke-kun, this is my father, Yukinoshita Yukinamine.”
“Father, this is my boyfriend, Shunsuke Hanyu.”
Yukinoshita Haruno introduced as a go-between.
“Hello, uncle.”
Shunsuke Hanyu was very respectful.
“Hello, Hanyu-kun.”
Yukinoshita Yukino was also very polite, and both parties extended their hands to shake hands.
“Shall we serve the food first?”
She went out to talk to the waiter standing in the corridor, leaving Hanyu Shunsuke and Yukinoshita Yukinamine in the room.
Shunsuke Hanyu always felt that Yukinoshita Yukinomi’s gaze seemed to want to kill him and chop him into pieces, which made him wonder if this guy was a daughter-con man.
“Is Hanyu-kun also from Chiba?”
Yukinoshita Yukino plans to test the waters first.
He was actually very angry because his daughter Yang Nai suddenly told her family that she had a boyfriend and that she was going to meet him and get married on a certain date, but there had been no signs before this.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that he took the opportunity to ask several times about his daughter’s boyfriend, but he didn’t even know his name. He only knew his name when he was introduced just now, so he didn’t know anything about Shunsuke Hanyu.
Shunsuke Hanyu was born in Chiba, studied in Chiba, and went to Tokyo for college.
“Are you still in school or have you started working?”
Yukinoshita Yukino found that there were too many questions he wanted to ask without any understanding.
“I am working and studying as a monk at the same time.”
This is really like a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law, and being interrogated carefully, he is like a criminal.
? ? Yukinoshita Yukiho was a little unhappy. He was planning that if this guy said he was working, he would talk about Yang Nai’s studies and give him some pointers. If he was studying, he would also give some pointers about Yang Nai’s work in the group. But how could he give pointers to someone who was studying and working at the same time?
“Which university did you attend? What major did you study?”
Keeping his composure, he continued to ask.
“I am currently studying in the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo under Professor Kawabata.”
Hanyu Shunsuke answered honestly that he just hoped Yukinoshita Haruno would come in quickly.
“Not engineering construction, nor economics related?”
Yukinoshita Yukimine frowned, and frowned even more after seeing him nod. Yang No said that it was her boyfriend, Onlooker Qing, who brought up the matter of Tokyo’s bid for the Olympics; Yukinoshita Yukimine felt that anyone who could pay attention to this point must at least be an insider in the industry, right?
In fact, he knew very well that his daughter’s choice of a son-in-law was actually quite limited, because Yang Nai would definitely inherit the family business, so she had to find a man willing to marry into the family; those with the same family background or those with some assets were rarely willing to change their surnames and marry into the family, as men’s self-esteem was extremely strong in this country.
And we have to rule out those with ulterior motives. The candidate must have a clean family background and abilities that are not too bad. However, those with good abilities are generally quite confident. And the daughter’s personality is also a problem.
To be honest, Yukinoshita Yukimine had always thought that her daughter’s marriage would be a big problem, but she didn’t expect that she would find one so quickly.
But an examination must be carried out. It’s easy for him to pass this test, but how can he pass Yang Nai’s mother?
“How did Hanyu-kun and Haruno know each other?”
He continued to ask.
“Because of Yukino.”
Shunsuke Hanyu deliberately wanted to test whether he was a daughter-con.
“Yukino?”
Yukinoshita Yukimine’s expression changed drastically.
“Yukino once came to where I work for a summer internship, and I took this opportunity to get to know Haruno.”
For some reason, Yukinoshita Yukino always had a bad feeling. Just as he was about to say something, the door opened.
“What did Shunsuke-kun talk about with his father just now?”
Yukinoshita Haruno was a little curious.
The door was well soundproofed. Even if I stood close to the door from outside, I couldn’t hear what they were saying. I just knew they were talking.
“My uncle asked how we met.”
Hanyu Shunsuke answered truthfully.
Someone knocked on the door, and the waiter came to deliver the meal.
“I’ll go open the door.”
Hanyu Shunsuke held down Yang No, and reached out to lift her hair behind her ears, with a gentle look on his face.
Theory Master Example 97! This is one of the teachings of the love master Yukinoshita Haruno.
Yukinoshita Yukimine looked at his natural and intimate movements, and then saw that his daughter Yangno’s eyes were following him, and for some reason she felt a little sour.
The dishes were placed exquisitely on the table, and the Japanese people’s attention to details is commendable.
“Hey, there’s no purified water. I’ll go get some for you.”
Yukinoshita Haruno displayed her extraordinary acting skills, which was something she had planned to show beforehand. The master of theory put the 45th rule into practice!
Two minutes later she returned to her seat and faced her father’s puzzled look.
“Shunsuke-kun doesn’t really like to drink anything else.”
She explained with a smile.
Yukinoshita Xuefeng felt even more sad. His sweet little cotton-padded jacket had become someone else’s, and the one who was even more sweet was someone else. He even blushed. He pinched his thigh quietly, and the pain slightly dispelled his complicated emotions.
“I don’t think I’ve told my father anything about Shunsuke-kun?”
Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her father.
“Yes~ My family doesn’t know anything about this.”
Yukinoshita Yukino said.
“I’ll tell you later when I get back.”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t plan to introduce him in person.
“Then let’s eat first?”
Yukinoshita Yukino understood what he meant.
The highest-grade kaiseki cuisine at the end of March is named Sakura, and the name of the kaiseki cuisine with nine dishes and three soups that we tasted this time is Hatsu Sakura.
“Let’s have a drink together first?”
Yukinoshita Yukimine decided to find an opportunity to vent his anger, such as drinking?
The fundamental purpose of kaiseki cuisine is to drink, so drinking is unavoidable.
Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned. She seemed to really not know whether Hanyu Shunsuke was good at drinking.
“I respect my uncle.”
Shunsuke Hanyu filled a glass.
“This is Ginjo sake from Gekkeikan in Kyoto. It tastes pretty good.”
Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t know much about these brands, so he tasted it directly. It was soft and refreshing, with harmonious tastes of sour, sweet, bitter, astringent and spicy. It really tasted great.
“Drink more.”
Yukinoshita Yukino raised his glass.
Shunsuke Hanyu suspected that he was being tricked. Apart from eating some cold dishes, he kept drinking. Although the alcohol content was not too high, he would have been very indifferent in his previous life. But now he felt a little embarrassed. His brain said that it was okay, but his body said, “Don’t drink anymore, you’re getting drunk.”
“Let’s eat some food first and then drink.”
Yukinoshita Haruno found an excuse to interrupt, and it was difficult for her to talk to him because her father’s reason was, “You’re already in the workplace, so you need to exercise your alcohol tolerance.”
The daughter has betrayed him, and the drunken Yukinoshita Yukino has a look of confusion on his face.
The little cotton jacket is gone.
Chapter 34 Yang No’s Bedroom (Old Version)
Somewhat beyond Hanyu Shunsuke’s expectations, the meeting with Yukinoshita Haruno’s father ended very simply. After lunch, Yukinoshita Yukino left somewhat bored, and his back looked a little lonely.
Shunsuke Hanyu thought that his alcohol tolerance was still the same as in his previous life, but he received feedback from his body. The drowsiness in his brain and the discomfort in his body swept over him like a tide.
“I thought something like I would be bullied or something like that, like they would give me 100 million yen and ask me to leave Haruno or something like that.”
Shunsuke Hanyu pinched his nose to cheer himself up.
“How is that possible? One hundred million yen is too much.”
Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head and laughed.
“??? Is the point about 100 million yen?”
Hanyu Shunsuke looked up and stared at her in silence.
“It’s just a joke! My father is a very polite person, and there’s no way such an impolite thing would happen on a first meeting.”
Yukinoshita Haruno waved her hand and smiled.
“Yonori didn’t tell your parents about me. I didn’t expect that either.”
Shunsuke Hanyu opened the bottle of purified water to dilute the alcohol in his stomach.
Although Gekkeikan’s Ginjo tastes really good, it’s still a bit uncomfortable to be forced to drink all the time.
“It’s just a relationship, why should I tell you the truth? Besides, they didn’t ask.”
Hanyu Shunsuke shook his head, somewhat confused about the specific situation of the Yukinoshita family. However, he never felt that he understood the Yukinoshita family. It seemed that everyone in this family had something wrong. Although he had only met three people so far, he felt that the most normal one was Yukinoshita Yukino, not Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Yukino.
“When my mother married my father, she went even further than I did!”
She added.
? So this is a case of what goes up and what goes down? Or is it that if the top is not straight, the bottom will be crooked?
“Is your uncle also a son-in-law?”
Although this is what he remembered from the anime in his previous life, Shunsuke Hanyu does not take the memory seriously, but seeks verification.
“Yes~ That was when grandpa was still alive. One night, my mother suddenly brought the couple back home and said that my father was her husband and would marry into the Yukinoshita family to help her manage the family and get through the difficult times.”
Hanyu Shunsuke seemed to see a look of envy on her face.
If we calculate the time, it is now 10 years ago. Based on Yukinoshita Haruno’s age, twenty-four years ago was 1986. At that time, the construction industry had indeed begun to show signs of an avalanche.
“It’s quite romantic.”
Shunsuke Hanyu commented.
“That’s a great word! Shunsuke-kun, someday you can be a little more romantic!”
She also drank a little this afternoon. After seeing Hanyu Shunsuke struggling to fend off Yukishita Yukino’s constant attacks, she took the initiative to stand up, and this behavior seemed to stab the old father in the heart.
It would be better to have a son in the future, Hanyu Shunsuke recalled the old father’s lonely background, miserable expression, and the sadness of drowning his sorrows in alcohol, and he smiled secretly.
“For pretend couples like us who skipped the ambiguity, dating, confession, passionate love, exhaustion, and dullness, there are too many things to consider if we want to be romantic.”
The alcohol numbed his nerves somewhat, causing him to say things that he normally wouldn’t say.
The dishes on the table have been removed, leaving only the subsequent fruit snacks and the finishing soup, which is the last step of the banquet.
Yukinoshita Haruno reached out and poked his blushing cheek. The drunken Shunsuke Hanyu was also particularly interesting, or very interesting; she was thinking about whether to use this state to obtain some information that interested her.
But he got drunk because of himself, and it is not good to take advantage of others when they are in danger. Moreover, the happiness lies in gradually dispelling the fog and entering into inner observation.
“As long as you find a way, there will always be one.”
She responded casually, picked up the hangover soup on the table, took a spoonful with a spoon, blew it gently, and handed it to his mouth;
But suddenly he was still worried, thinking that this guy probably didn’t know it was hot at the moment, so he took it back and tasted it lightly himself. When he found that the temperature was about the same, he handed it back.
“Wake up first.”
Even if I don’t get any information, just looking at him like this is quite interesting.
“Sorry, I’m a little drunk.”
Shunsuke Hanyu is a good drinker and he still realizes that he is drunk.
“It’s okay~ drink it quickly.”
Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to laugh and poked his lips with the side of the spoon. If it wasn’t illegal to take secret photos, she would have taken a few more pictures and showed them to him when he woke up.
Shunsuke Hanyu opened his mouth, bit the spoon, and inhaled it.
Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly realized a strange question. Was she too nice to him naturally? Or too close? It was natural and strange that it developed into this.
My father is no longer with us, so there is no need to pretend to be a couple in love.
Shunsuke Hanyu opened his mouth and waited for the next sip. This hangover soup tasted pretty good.
But it doesn’t matter. If you want to understand and explore something, you always have to get closer to see it more clearly.
If it’s really interesting enough~~~
“Ah~~”
She handed him a spoonful and motioned for him to drink it quickly.
Ichi-no-mi provides a lunch break service, which means providing guest rooms for drunk guests to take a nap, but Yukinoshita Haruno does not intend to keep Hanyu Shunsuke here. After all, the reason he got drunk was because of her.
Moreover, he has shown no reluctance to accept the resources that should be provided to him in the agreement so far, but he is actively fulfilling his obligations to cooperate with me. Although Yukinoshita Haruno is a ruthless capitalist, he still feels a little embarrassed; after all, capitalists only target employees.
“Can you walk on your own?”
Yukinoshita Haruno put down the bowl of hangover soup.
“That should be possible.”
Shunsuke Hanyu felt a little better. The anger from his old father was a little too much for him to handle. He should have drunk about one and a half bottles, which was not a small amount.
He stood up and attempted to pace tentatively around the room, but simply standing up seemed to take a lot of energy.
“It doesn’t seem to be working?”
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at her.
“Let me help you~”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t plan to stay here for long. She would feel bad if she stayed here after finishing her meal.
Carrying her bag, she walked over to him, held his arm and motioned him to move forward.
Shunsuke Hanyu obediently raised his leg and took a step.
It was a little bit of a hindrance, but he was still able to move. It was just that it was too close, and Hanyu Shunsuke seemed to feel his elbow touching something soft, big and tight.
He had doubted before whether this posture could really be used, but now he had verified that it was possible.
The store helped to contact a taxi, and the address was Yukinoshita Haruno’s apartment.
The elevator is a great invention of mankind.
“Let’s take a nap first?”
Yukinoshita Haruno hesitated for a moment, but still took him to her bedroom.
Chapter 35 A Little Sweet (Old Version)
Yukinoshita Haruno’s apartment is a 2ldk apartment. Although she can rent a bigger one, there is no need.
The master bedroom is Yukinoshita Haruno’s own bedroom, and the second bedroom is her younger sister Yukinoshita Yukino’s bedroom. Although her relationship with her younger sister was not very good before, as her younger sister gradually grew up, she seemed to understand things, and although the relationship is still hindered, it is slightly better; so Yukinoshita Yukino would occasionally come to stay with her.
So it was absolutely impossible to let Hanyu Shunsuke sleep in the second bedroom! That was where Yukinoshita Haruno would sleep occasionally when she was in a bad mood, and she would usually tidy up and wait for her sister to come over to sleep; and the sofa didn’t seem too good, after all, this guy did that after being bullied by his father.
After much thought and a little hesitation, Yukinoshita Haruno decided to contribute her bedroom. She actually didn’t have a cleanliness obsession in this regard; and as for Hanyu Shunsuke, he was her husband in the legal sense after all, right?
So why did I register my marriage with him so quickly? It seemed like it was to reassure him.
“Sleep first?”
Shunsuke Hanyu really wanted to take a nap.
Yukinoshita Haruno sat on the edge of the bed, watching him lying on the bed.
“Yang Nao, will uncle be very unhappy and go back to tell aunt, and then decide to break us up? That would be great.”
He suddenly said.
Yukinoshita Haruno rolled her eyes. Speaking the truth after drinking?
“Go to sleep!”
She put her hand over his eyes.
Only after he fell asleep peacefully did Yukinoshita Haruno leave the bedroom and go to the study. Tomorrow was the final thesis defense, so she still had to prepare well.
Fall asleep
Shunsuke Hanyu sat up from the bed, shook his body, shook his head vigorously, wiped his face, and then began to look around.
Rubbing his temples, Hanyu Shunsuke began to recall the past.
He was a pretty good drinker, and even though he was a little tipsy before, he wasn’t overly drunk, so he still remembered everything that happened before very clearly.
His coat was taken off, and his shirt was taken off as well? Hanyu Shunsuke compared his memory and found something wrong. He was now shirtless.
Fortunately, he was still wearing the trousers, otherwise he would have suspected that someone had raped him while he was drunk.
I found my coat on the bedside table and took out my phone to check the time. 9:30 pm???
Did I sleep too long? After stretching his body, Hanyu Shunsuke prepared to get up.
The room is nicely decorated, although not full of girlishness, but the aroma lingering in the nose, the pink, purple and light blue wallpapers and tablecloths, and the full-length mirror on the wardrobe all give off a girlish vibe.
Wardrobe? Will there be a wardrobe in the second bedroom?
No, would there be a fragrance on the bed in the second bedroom?
With a stiff face, Shunsuke Hanyu got out of bed and walked out of the room. There was no one in the living room, so he went to the study, where the light was on.
Hanyu Shunsuke knocked on the study door.
“Shunsuke-kun is awake.”
The voice of Yukinoshita Haruno’s reply was heard from inside, followed by footsteps, and then the door opened.
“I slept for quite a long time~”
There was a hint of sarcasm on her face.
About eight hours? Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t remember what time he went to bed. It was mainly because Yukinoshita Haruno came too early in the morning, depriving him of the time to sleep in, and he also went to bed late last night.
“Is that Yang No’s bedroom?”
Shunsuke Hanyu asked, this was the issue he was concerned about.
“Huh~”
After taking a long breath, Shunsuke Hanyu felt a little headache.
“I remember there’s a second bedroom, right? At worst there’s a sofa?”
He didn’t care about sleeping in her bed, but what he cared about was the meaning behind this action.
“The second bedroom is Yukino’s own room, and I can’t bear to have the couch.”
This reason is actually acceptable! From what I can remember, whether in the anime or from my previous observations of the Yukinoshita sisters, it can be seen that Yukinoshita Haruno is a sister complex.
“That’s not important. Shunsuke-kun must be very hungry, right?”
Yukinoshita Haruno changed the subject.
Fortunately, there was no scene like in the movie “The Emperor’s Uncle” where he got up from the bed and saw some women’s underwear, and there was no strange development. Hanyu Shunsuke was relieved. Since she wanted to change the subject and pretend nothing happened, he would let her do as she wished.
“I am a little hungry indeed.”
He touched his belly.
“Has Yang eaten yet?”
“No, I’m waiting for you.”
She shook her head, walked to the kitchen and tied on the apron hanging on the wall.
This sentence “waiting for you” is a bit of an understatement.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
This is the second lesson for Shunsuke Hanyu to unbutton his shirt. He had buttoned it all up instinctively before, but now it feels a bit tight.
“I had some snacks around six o’clock. They are on the coffee table. If you are hungry, you can go and fill your stomach.”
Yukinoshita Haruno started washing the vegetables.
Hanyu Shunsuke went to the living room and saw pudding, Anko, Japanese confectionery, rice cakes, and persimmons on the table; there were quite a variety of desserts.
He looked at the smaller ones left to judge what she would like to eat more, and picked out An Guang to take over.
A plump woman looks fuller and plump from behind. Hanyu Shunsuke looked at her big white legs and walked to her side.
“Try it?”
The spoon is already in my hand.
“Hey~ Is this the reward for lunch?”
“I’m a bit troublesome today.”
Shunsuke Hanyu is still clear about his gratitude and resentment.
“Shunsuke-kun got drunk because of me, too.”
The same is true for Yukinoshita Haruno, so they are in sync.
“That being said…”
Hanyu Shunsuke was thinking about what to say next.
She couldn’t wait any longer. The aroma of red beans and agar filled her nose. She bit the spoon and rolled her tongue around. The taste of the sweet syrup was captured by her taste buds, and an expression of satisfaction and happiness appeared on her face.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at the inexplicable saliva in the spoon, wondering whether it was from An Guang himself or something else.
But she really loves desserts, so to show my gratitude I will search for some authentic desserts for her when I return to Tokyo.
“It seems that there is a saying that sweets can bring people a sense of happiness?”
Hanyu Shunsuke handed over another spoonful.
“Because of the sugar, right?”
Yukinoshita Haruno had seen the relevant explanation, so she ate it in one bite and felt extremely satisfied.
“Try it, Shunsuke-kun. It’s delicious.”
A little embarrassed, she made the recommendation out of courtesy.
Shunsuke Hanyu was actually quite curious about the taste because she ate it so deliciously, and he was already hungry, so he also had a spoonful for himself.
“It tastes really good, but a little too sweet.”
The mixture of agar, syrup, red beans and sesame paste is really sweet.
“It’s okay.”
Yukinoshita Haruno stared at the bowl of sweets.
Eagerly? Hanyu Shunsuke thought of this word and laughed a little.
He handed over a spoon.
“Hmm~”
She ate it in one bite, filling her mouth and making her cheeks puff up.
The neon lights on the building opposite the window suddenly changed into colorful ones.
Chapter 36 The Moonlight is So Beautiful (Old Version)
Dinner was standard Japanese cuisine, including tempura, miso soup, fried fish, and boiled vegetables. Because he was hungry, Hanyu Shunsuke ate quite a lot. Of course, Yukinoshita Haruno’s cooking skills were also excellent.
Around ten o’clock in the evening, I was sitting at the dining table with someone. We were looking at each other across from each other. There were neon lights flashing on the buildings and streets outside. This feeling was strangely romantic.
“Are you staying here tonight?”
“Sleeping on the sofa?”
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled and said that after all, she would sleep in the master bedroom, and the second bedroom was Yukinoshita Yukino’s exclusive room.
“You have to learn to change your way of thinking! I can sleep in the second bedroom, and Shunsuke-kun can continue to sleep in my room.”
Yukinoshita Haruno knew what he was worried about.
Does it seem like it could actually be done?
“Honestly, Yang No, don’t you have mysophobia? Of course, I can’t call it mysophobia, but it’s normal to not like others sleeping in your bed.”
Any private things are not something you want others to touch.
“Isn’t it weird to say something like this after we’ve already slept?”
Yukinoshita Haruno rolled her eyes.
But it was just as he said, although she didn’t have any mysophobia, she was always resistant and annoyed when others slept in her bed.
“Although I slept! But the objective facts will not change! And the feeling of sleeping drunk and sleeping sober are different!”
Shunsuke Hanyu is serious.
The fish was fried to a perfect temperature, and the bones inside could be chewed off.
“Yes, yes, yes!!!”
Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the ceiling speechlessly.
“Tomorrow is my thesis defense day, and Shunsuke-kun promised to accompany me. So are you sure you want to go back to Tokyo and come here so early in the morning?”
She looked at him speechlessly.
“Of course not!”
Shunsuke Hanyu said this with absolute certainty.
“That’s incredible!”
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“But there are many other options such as sleeping on the sofa, sleeping on the floor, and staying in a hotel; but Yang No chose this one, which always makes me wonder~is this fake acting real?”
Shunsuke Hanyu was just testing the waters.
“Fake it, real it is? That’s the wrong way to use the idiom! We were really real! We just got married first and then fell in love!”
Yukinoshita Haruno corrected.
Hanyu Shunsuke was a little speechless. As far as he remembered, this clause was a supplementary provision, but when it was signed, both parties didn’t think it made any sense. He also never thought that Yukinoshita Haruno would really get married first and then fall in love.
But as far as trends are concerned, it currently seems as if she really is.
It’s really hard to tell whether she’s genuine or fake. Although it was a test, it seemed to have only made himself more confused. In terms of social skills and scheming, Hanyu Shunsuke said that he is really no match for Yukinoshita Haruno.
“How’s your preparation for the thesis defense?”
“It’s OK, there shouldn’t be any big problems.”
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded. It was a bit late now, so he would send a text message to his tutor asking for leave tomorrow morning. He didn’t have any important reports on Monday this week, just routine self-study, so asking for leave wouldn’t have much impact.
“The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.”
After a short silence, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly exclaimed.
Looking out the window at one side, you can see the bright, somewhat round moon. The evening breeze is blowing gently, and the moonlight is indeed beautiful.
“Just put some candles in it and it’s a perfect candlelight dinner!”
“Shunsuke-kun, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”
Yukinoshita Haruno paused and said.
He raised his chin in a gesture.
“I think I’ve passed the test of my father. He never interferes with my affairs. He just wants to see what kind of person you are. But my mother is a little difficult.”
Yukinoshita Haruno took a sip of the soup.
Hanyu Shunsuke listened attentively and motioned for her to continue.
“I won’t go into the reasons, as it’s too much to go into; let’s just get straight to the points of attention: First of all, our relationship needs to be more intimate and natural. Shunsuke-kun’s brilliant move in the restaurant was indeed impressive, but it felt a little deliberate.”
The love guru began his lecture.
Hanyu nodded.
“My mother’s vision, observation and vigilance are always better than my father’s. Of course, this is also because she has always been the one taking the lead in handling family and group affairs.”
“So we must cultivate a natural enough intimacy!”
She made a summary of the period.
“I have no objection.”
Hanyu Shunsuke thought about it and nodded.
Although he has been fulfilling his obligations and has not enjoyed any rights so far, Yukinoshita Haruno has also given back. It’s just that he is not very willing to accept these material things. However, a few sets of clothes, a few meals, cleaning of his own apartment, many things cannot be exchanged for completely equal value, so a rough estimate is enough.
“Since both of us are new to relationships and have little experience, while Junjie was sleeping, in addition to preparing for the thesis defense, I also looked up how to quickly cultivate intimacy between couples.”
Yukinoshita Haruno looked serious.
Hanyu Shunsuke also became serious and listened attentively.
She took out a book from the compartment under the dining table, facing him, and Shunsuke Hanyu read out the title of the book.
“One hundred things couples must do!”
??? His face was full of question marks.
“Although it may seem childish and vulgar, I thought about it carefully. We got married first and then fell in love. We became lovers first, but after becoming lovers, we will do couple things and become closer to lovers!”
Yukinoshita Haruno is still very serious. It seems that this is the result of the love master’s research this afternoon.
Hanyu Shunsuke took the book and opened it to take a look.
[1. Walking hand in hand
2. Wear couple outfits while shopping.
3. Go to the temple to pray together.
4. Listen to a concert together.
……】
It seems to make sense. If we really do all these things, even if we are not lovers, we should be able to develop intimacy, right?
“Is that enough time?”
Shunsuke Hanyu flipped through the table of contents and began to read the main text. This was actually a travelogue that described the travel experiences of the author and her boyfriend, and how they did these hundred things and then published them in a book.
“Don’t worry about seeing your mother. I will buy some time.”
Hanyu Shunsuke turned to the last page: Those who have done all this can now consider getting married.
“Have you finished reading this book?”
“I’ve finished reading it. I’ve gained some insights and experience!”
She is quite serious.
She looked at the thickness of the book and knew that he was reading the last page.
“We got married first! But it doesn’t matter! Generally speaking, it’s always easier to reverse the process after the result! Or you could say it’s cheating.”
She is full of confidence.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked up at her and turned back to the title page.
What he was thinking about was, after doing all this, would it really not matter if they became a couple?
Chapter 37 Staying Overnight (Old Version)
“There are no other pajamas in the house.”
Yukinoshita Haruno stroked her chin.
“So what’s the solution?”
Shunsuke Hanyu was lying in the bathtub with a gloomy face.
When she was taking a shower before, she said something like “Wash first and I’ll bring it to you right away.” I don’t know what she was busy with in the study and she was so perfunctory.
“Wear mine!”
Yukinoshita Haruno came up with a plan.
As for bathrobes, there were only two at home, her own and her sister’s.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at the ceiling of the bathroom and let out a helpless sigh.
If I could do it again, I would never fall in love again.
Since they decided to stay overnight, they had to take a shower, especially since Hanyu Shunsuke still smelled of alcohol. Yukinoshita Haruno said, “You take a shower first!” Hanyu Shunsuke went to take a shower.
And then there were no pajamas.
In the bedroom, Yukinoshita Haruno opened the closet and wondered what clothes to get him. She wanted to get him a nightgown, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
“I’m coming in!”
Outside the bathroom door, Yukinoshita Haruno knocked on the door and said.
There is a partition between the bathtub and the outside, so you don’t have to worry about witnessing a spring scene when you come in. Isn’t a man’s body also a spring scene for women?
“In the clothes basket.”
Yukinoshita Haruno put it down and went out.
Shunsuke Hanyu got up from the bathtub, wiped his body and walked out, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, well, standard pajamas.
“Can I wear it?”
Yukinoshita Haruno actually wanted to laugh, but it was her own mistake after all, so she managed to hold it back.
When he asked if there were any pajamas, she was in the study thinking about the order and difficulty of the one hundred things that couples must do, and planned to make a plan at the same time.
When I received his inquiry, I responded in a somewhat absent-minded and perfunctory manner.
“Yes, it’s a little tight.”
His voice was a little dull, and for some reason Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to laugh even more.
The bathroom door opened, Hanyu Shunsuke walked out, and Yukinoshita Haruno looked at him.
The T-shirt was actually chosen to be a more neutral black color. The slight decoration does not look very girly, and the shorts are standard hot pants, which are actually short jeans.
However, although I tried my best to choose, there are still some decorations that tend to be girly.
“Laugh if you want to.”
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at her expression of holding back and was speechless.
“It’s okay actually. I’m just reflecting on my guilt.”
Yukinoshita Haruno is lying with open eyes.
“I’m beginning to doubt whether you did this on purpose.”
No matter how you think about it, it seems unlikely that Yukinoshita Haruno would forget that there are no other pajamas at home.
“I am also a human being! I can be careless and sloppy too!”
She retorted.
“That’s true.”
Hanyu Shunsuke shrugged.
“But~it’s really tight.”
Waist a bit tight.
“Just make do~ or a nightgown?”
Yukinoshita Haruno actually didn’t mind.
“Forget it.”
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t think this was a good idea.
He looked at the smile on Yukinoshita Haruno’s face and felt very unhappy.
“Come to think of it~Yonano’s clothes all smell the same as Yono herself.”
He said with a smile.
She typed a question mark.
“A very nice aroma that always makes me feel like I’m very close to Yang No.”
Shunsuke Hanyu pretended to be intoxicated.
Yukinoshita Haruno’s smile gradually disappeared.
“The acting is not up to par!! But it is really quite…”
She felt a little awkward.
“I’ll go to the convenience store downstairs and buy you a robe.”
Yukinoshita Haruno said this and set off.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at her back as she bent over to put on her shoes, and he wanted to go up and slap her on the butt, making a loud slapping sound.
“Why didn’t you do this just now!!!”
He questioned.
“It’s urgent! I forgot!”
Yukinoshita Haruno is innocent.
I believed your lies.
The elevator went up and down very quickly. After about five minutes, Yukinoshita Haruno came back with her things. Hanyu Shunsuke took the bathrobe and went back to the bathroom to change into it.
The tense feeling disappears and the world becomes a beautiful place.
“Here! Please use it!!”
Hanyu Shunsuke returned the clothes to her.
“Don’t waste it. I have to wash it after wearing it. Why don’t Yang Na use it too? Make the most of it!”
He offered friendly advice.
“I really didn’t mean it!!!”
“Maybe answering that I have a bathrobe was not intentional, but not buying a bathrobe was definitely intentional.”
Shunsuke Hanyu has a kind smile.
“Eh~~ Shunsuke-kun suddenly seems to understand me very well~”
She looked as if she was surprised to be discovered by you, biting her lower lip, her eyes sparkling, very ambiguous.
Hanyu Shunsuke was stunned. Did he understand this or was he instinctively looking for someone to take the blame after being teased?
“I’m going to take a shower first!!”
Yukinoshita Haruno took the opportunity to slip past him and go into the bathroom.
Hanyu Shunsuke was speechless, but he was too lazy to pursue the matter. After all, it was just a trivial matter.
“Use the computer for a moment!”
He said to the bathroom.
“Okay~ the password is *******.”
Her voice came from the bathroom.
Shunsuke Hanyu opened the door of the study, walked to the computer desk, pulled out a chair and sat down.
There was no need to use a password because she had previously opened browsers and music apps.
Hanyu Shunsuke glanced at the browsing window. There were multiple versions of “One Hundred Things Couples Must Do”, various interpretations, repeated jumps, and videos explaining it in person.
Wonderful! It was really wonderful! Although no one could see it, Hanyu Shunsuke still gave a thumbs up.
He logged into the official forum of the novel Huan Dong. In reality, there is a system for returning reader survey forms, and the website actually also has a voting system for the most anticipated books in each issue, but online voting has never been taken seriously, and the reference ratio has even decreased. However, Shunsuke Hanyu was still very happy when he saw that his “Unnatural Death” ranked first.
There are also discussions about other works. Those long-running serialized works have a fixed audience, but this group of readers tends to read multiple works rather than just one.
Previously, there was only one reposted post from a book reviewer in the forum, but now there are quite a few. The author’s pleasure is sometimes very simple. It is satisfying to watch readers discuss the plot, and it would be very satisfying if they could praise the book or the author.
After taking a quick look at the forum, Hanyu Shunsuke logged into Twitter.
The number of fans is approaching six figures from five digits, which is a little impressive. Hanyu Shunsuke looked at the tweets @his own and found that most of them were from readers who were looking forward to the following plot.
Some were from critics, and Hanyu Shunsuke clicked on them and took a look. Many of them were bloggers with hundreds of thousands of fans.
Satisfied, he logged out and left the study to return to the living room. The bathroom door happened to open.
“You really wore this?”
Shunsuke Hanyu looked shocked.
This is the set that Shunsuke Hanyu wore before.
“They are my clothes!!!”
Yang Na rolled her eyes, thinking he was making a fuss out of nothing.
“I mean, I just walked through it half an hour ago.”
He added an explanation.
“It’s okay~ I don’t mind~”
Yang replied.
She was wiping her hair with a towel. The T-shirt that was tight on Shunsuke Hanyu looked loose on her, and looking down at her, she looked all white.
With wet hair and rosy cheeks after taking a bath, and makeup removed, Hanyu Shunsuke suddenly thought of a poem called “Water lilies emerge from clear water.”
Chapter 38 Yang No’s Weakness (Old Version)
Thesis defense is probably the most important thing in a college student’s college career. If you fail a course, you can retake the exam or retake it; but thesis defense is really a one-time opportunity. If you fail, you can consider studying for another year.
Shunsuke Hanyu doesn’t think that Yukinoshita Haruno will fail in her thesis defense. After all, although the defense also depends on one’s ability, the interpersonal relationship between the tutor and the head of the professional group is also very important, and Yukinoshita Haruno is a local boss in Chiba after all.
Early in the morning, Hanyu Shunsuke got up from the bed. There was always a faint fragrance in Yukinoshita Haruno’s bedroom, and the fragrance became even stronger after he lay down on the bed and covered himself with the cup. He slept very well last night.
After sending a text message to his tutor to ask for leave, Shunsuke Hanyu slowly got up from the bed.
To be honest, I was a little sleepless at the beginning of last night, and I had some wild thoughts, but if no one teased me, I would just be a little uncomfortable at the beginning.
When the bedroom door is opened, the second bedroom is on the left, the living room is in front, past the living room is the dining room, to the left of the dining room is the kitchen, next to the kitchen are the bathroom and toilet, and then the study.
“Is Shunsuke-kun up?”
Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to hear the sound of the door opening.
“Good morning.”
Shunsuke Hanyu walked across the living room and dining room to the kitchen.
She was dressed neatly, with her hair tied up, light but delicate makeup on her face, and her clothes that looked elegant and dignified. Hirugao wife? Hanyu Shunsuke suddenly thought of this word, but he couldn’t help laughing.
Washing and brushing teeth was her first time last night, and she handled it safely, so as long as Yukinoshita Haruno doesn’t deliberately play tricks on her, she will naturally consider these things thoroughly; Hanyu Shunsuke has already secretly made a note of her in his heart, waiting for the time to play a trick on her back.
The breakfast is very standard, with fried eggs, grilled sausages, salad and porridge.
“Yonano’s cooking skills are amazing~~Whoever marries her will be blessed.”
“Are you saying that you are very lucky, Shunsuke-kun?”
Yukinoshita Haruno felt happy when she heard the first half of the sentence, but was speechless when she heard the second half.
“Ah~ I always forget that we have registered our marriage.”
Hanyu Shunsuke flicked his forehead.
To him, this matter seemed so far-fetched and out of touch with reality that he often didn’t have this concept in mind when he was joking.
Although the memories of the predecessor are inherited, they will automatically hide when not needed, and will only emerge when a retrieval command is received when needed.
“Shunsuke-kun is really a forgetful person!”
Yukinoshita Haruno pouted. Although it was a contract marriage, such neglect still made people doubt her charm.
“By the way, how did you sleep last night?”
“Very good, the bed is very soft, I didn’t have insomnia; I am actually a bit picky about my bed.”
“That’s good~~”
She nodded, took a bite of salad, and then looked up again.
“You didn’t do anything weird, did you?”
She had a huge smile on her face.
“Strange things?”
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at her speechlessly and asked back.
“Like opening the closet, taking out my clothes and sniffing them, or masturbating when he’s in a bad mood, or rolling around on the bed with his underwear.”
There was a strange smile on her face.
Hanyu Shunsuke rolled his eyes, not knowing how to judge her words.
He took out his cell phone and flipped through the new jokes he had found last night.
[Unforgivable!! Absolutely!
It actually landed on my face as a photographer! 】
Accompanied by a passionate picture, Shunsuke Hanyu pointed his phone directly at Yukinoshita Haruno.
She tilted her head in curiosity.
Shunsuke Hanyu was unmoved. When he was lying in bed and unable to fall asleep last night, he went to Twitter to find a lot of jokes.
[Professor, what is that?]What we can’t save
A bunch of people holding paper figures to talk about their wives]“Um??”
Yukinoshita Haruno had even more doubts.
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t believe that she looked indifferent. He began to observe carefully. The arc of her question mark smile was a 100% social fake smile. Her eyes were slightly narrowed and her hands were not on the table. Shunsuke Hanyu bent down and looked under the coffee table. She was pinching her thigh.
‘Haha,’ he smiled to himself.
[I won’t leave a single bone of yours in this world.
Destroy your evil soul
Said this to the boneless chicken nuggets]“Hahahahahaha…”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t hold back and started laughing.
Shunsuke Hanyu smiled and lowered his head to continue enjoying his breakfast.
“Come on, there’s more to come.”
He handed over the phone like a gentleman.
“Don’t torture me! I don’t want to put on makeup again!!!”
Yukinoshita Haruno clenched her fists, her expression changed drastically, and she refused the phone.
“Do you think this is your weakness?”
Shunsuke Hanyu put down his chopsticks contentedly and wiped his mouth.
“Isn’t it human nature to laugh at jokes?”
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded and decided to continue using it in the future.
After breakfast was successfully completed and they changed their clothes, Hanyu Shunsuke went out together with Yukinoshita Haruno; after taking a shower last night, she washed his clothes, using a washing machine, dryer and iron, so they were brand new in the morning.
Chiba University is different from Tokyo University. If we have to find an obvious comparison indicator, it is that Chiba University seems to have more good-looking girls. Hanyu Shunsuke recalled his memories of his four years at Tokyo University and came to a conclusion.
After all, if you are born good-looking, why not enjoy the colorful youth life and study hard?
Although no girl looks ugly after putting on makeup, there are different levels of makeup techniques and styles!
“Does it look good?”
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled kindly.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked puzzled.
“Girls’ thighs!!”
She smiled more kindly.
“If I have to say, it’s not as pretty as Yang Noi’s, but there’s nothing I can do if you don’t show me Yang Noi’s.”
Shunsuke Hanyu used the twelfth theoretical love talk taught by the love master.
After a pause, Yukinoshita Haruno looked at him speechlessly, and even wanted to laugh.
This is what my father taught me this morning, and now I am applying it to my life? And I am the one being used.
“Shunsuke-kun is really~~…”
She puffed her cheeks, rolled her eyes, and quickened her pace to break away from him.
Shunsuke Hanyu was a little puzzled. This was not a normal reaction, so he quickened his pace and chased after him.
“I’ll be more careful next time. It’s mainly because it’s a new environment so I was looking around a lot.”
Hanyu Shunsuke moved closer and explained.
She turned around with a bright smile on her face.
The love master’s theory of sweet talk: the twelfth countermeasure.
Hanyu Shunsuke sighed, it turned out that Sun Wukong could not get out of the Five Finger Mountain.
Chapter 39 He is my husband (old version)
At the thesis defense, Yukinoshita Haruno was ranked fourth, which is a pretty good position. Being ranked first would make people very nervous, the first three would leave a deep impression on the tutor, and the tutor would be annoyed by the ones behind. The one in the middle is just right.
Especially when the quality of the previous few defenses was not very good, Shunsuke Hanyu was relieved.
“Hey~ hello.”
Someone nearby started talking to me.
“Hello.”
Hanyu Shunsuke replied, his eyes still on Yukinoshita Haruno, who was now the third person on the stage, while she was sitting in the first row and getting ready.
“Are you Yukinoshita-san’s family?”
The person next to him asked.
This was a tiered classroom. Hanyu Shunsuke turned his head to look at the person next to him. She was a pretty young girl with decent makeup, and her hairstyle and appearance suited her well. Japanese women have been honing their makeup skills since high school and have mastered them to perfection by the time they reach college.
“Do I look like her?”
Hanyu Shunsuke asked back with a smile.
“It seems~not quite like that?”
She replied, trying to be cute.
“So what’s up?”
Hanyu Shunsuke is quite alert. If he is a good friend, Yukinoshita Haruno and he would talk and get to know each other after entering the classroom. But who is coming now?
Hanyu Shunsuke looked around and found that the person behind him was looking at this side very intently. His eyes met and he continued to look at him naturally, as if he was not looking at Hanyu Shunsuke but at the front, which made Hanyu Shunsuke a little confused.
“I’m just asking. Yukinoshita-san has always been aloof, and this is the first time she’s been in a group with the opposite sex, and it’s a meaningful occasion like the graduation defense, so I’m a little curious.”
She explained a lot and then looked at Hanyu Shunsuke with a curious look.
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded in understanding.
“If you must say, we are family.”
Shunsuke Hanyu summarized his relationship with her.
“What exactly is it?”
The smile on her face widened.
“couple.”
“Um???”
She looked shocked.
“Husband and wife are also family, right?”
“It does count, but husband and wife?”
She tried to confirm again.
“What??”
Hanyu Shunsuke continued to ask questions.
Graduation season is generally a breakup season, but it is also a confession season. Many people always take advantage of this opportunity to summon up the courage to confess their love, with the belief that if they fail, they will die. They will go their separate ways anyway, and if they fail, it is not shameful and there will be no embarrassment in meeting each other in the future.
At present, Shunsuke Hanyu judged that she was the outpost. After all, seeing him and Yukinoshita Haruno being quite intimate, the person who wanted to confess his love would definitely ask around.
“Nothing~ I just feel a little surprised. Yukinoshita-san has always been very indifferent to the opposite sex, and now she’s suddenly getting married~ She’s getting married before she even graduates…”
Her speech was a little confused.
“Love always comes too fast like a tornado.”
It was Yukinoshita Haruno’s turn. Hanyu Shunsuke ended the conversation with her and looked forward.
She was indeed well prepared, or perhaps such a situation was no big deal for her. Her speech was fluent, her examples were interesting, her logic was clear, and everyone listened very attentively.
Then comes the defense, and the tutor and the expert group begin to ask questions. Generally speaking, the tutor and the expert group will not deliberately make things difficult for you. They just ask some interesting questions that are indeed included in the thesis.
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t quite understand the content of the economics and management section. He could only understand the general idea. When it came to proper nouns and the like, he was completely confused. However, judging from Yukinoshita Haruno’s expression, it was not beyond her preparation, and her answers were still fluent.
After the defense, Yukinoshita Haruno stepped down from the stage and returned to his seat next to her from the front.
“That’s great.”
He had some difficulties in his thesis defense in his previous life, but this time it went smoothly, but that did not stop him from praising himself.
“Do you know what I was thinking when I was answering the professor’s question just now, Shunsuke?”
Yukinoshita Haruno did not give a direct answer.
He is really curious.
“I was thinking about that professor picture you showed me this morning!!!”
She slapped the table and laughed wildly, but it was a silent laugh.
Hanyu Shunsuke rolled his eyes and couldn’t help but reach out and tickle her armpit.
“What are you doing!!!”
She laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Shh~”
The people in the front row came back to remind.
Yukinoshita Haruno apologized immediately, and waited until the people in the front row turned around before she turned around and stared at Hanyu Shunsuke with puffy cheeks.
“Go out first.”
She whispered, Hanyu Shunsuke nodded, and followed her out quietly.
Chiba University is probably the best university near Tokyo. In the national university rankings, Chiba has generally remained in the top 15.
I don’t know if it’s because of the horticulture major or because of the good geographical location, but the scenery is really quite nice.
Hanyu Shunsuke remembered that the last time he came here, he also strolled in this school with Yukinoshita Haruno. At that time, the cherry blossoms were just beginning to bloom during the Waking of Insects season. Now, as it is approaching the end of the decade, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom extremely brilliantly.
“Someone just asked me what my relationship with you is.”
Hanyu Shunsuke said with a smile.
“Yonori must be very popular in school, right?”
“Of course!”
She is far from modest.
“Is there someone following us?”
Yukinoshita Haruno poked him in the waist.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked back at the boy just now.
“It should be someone who likes you. Someone just came to test you. I guess he wants to confess his love or something.”
“Yukinoshita-san.”
As soon as Hanyu Shunsuke finished speaking, a voice came from behind him.
“Horikyoshi-san.”
As soon as she turned around, the smile on Yukinoshita Haruno’s face turned into a standard smile, but she seemed to be too lazy to deal with it. She looked a little impatient, with a stern face and very cold.
“Hello~ I’m sorry to bother you, but I want to talk to you alone, Yukinoshita-san, is that okay?”
He came up, bowed, spoke sincerely, and used a series of moves against Hanyu Shunsuke.
“Just say it here. He is my husband. There is nothing he can’t listen to.”
However, Yukinoshita Haruno decisively refused with a cold look on her face.
“Actually, I know I shouldn’t say this, since Yukinoshita-san is married, but I can’t bear not to say it.”
Horiyoshi’s face was full of bitterness. How come a husband suddenly appeared? Is this a flash marriage?
“If you don’t think it’s appropriate to say it, then don’t say it. I also know what you are going to say, no love, no feelings. I’m going to go to the cherry blossom viewing with my husband. Bye.”
Yukinoshita Haruno used a series of moves and pulled Hanyu Shunsuke away.
Shunsuke Hanyu was a little stunned.
“Has Yang No always been like this?”
He asked, clearing his throat.
“It depends on the person, but generally speaking it’s this style.”
Yukinoshita Haruno answered.
“Let’s go enjoy the cherry blossoms~ and take some photos for me.”
She smiles like a flower.
Isn’t this a huge difference? But Hanyu Shunsuke was actually a little happy. Besides feeling a little sorry for the guy, he also felt that it was a big problem for him to confess his love when they knew they were a couple.
“How’s your photography skills, Shunsuke-kun?”
She reached out and took his arm.
Chapter 40 Second Issue (Old Version)
March has passed and April is coming.
Yukinoshita Haruno has successfully graduated and is now busy with her initial integration into the group. She is born without the habit of rest, or something is chasing her, making her have no habit of rest, and Hanyu Shunsuke is naturally content with life.
It’s another Friday, and the new issue of Novel Fantasy Winter is on sale again.
Yuzu Mikami got up early today. If people knew in advance that a happy event would happen in a few hours, many people would not be able to sleep, and only a small number of people would sleep soundly.
For Yuzu Mikami, discovering interesting and meaningful books is a happy thing for her.
So she got up early, washed, dressed, put on makeup, made a hearty breakfast after a long absence, and then waited for the magazine to be delivered to her door.
This week she had noticed that the popularity of unnatural deaths on the Internet had skyrocketed, and it had caused quite a stir. However, because it was a new work by a new author, many people were unsure whether the author Sanming would maintain the same level in the future plots, and they were all taking a wait-and-see attitude.
After many book critics and newspapers remained on the sidelines, the spread of the news was relatively slow. Although it attracted some attention due to the subject matter and the shocking data it revealed, and even became a hot search, Twitter’s hot searches also cost money. Naturally, if there is no unstoppable momentum, the news will naturally be suppressed by those who paid for it.
Everyone is waiting for what he will show in this series, including Yuzu Mikami.
The goods are delivered to your door on time at 8:30. Being punctual always makes it easier to arrange your life.
Yuzu Mikami came to the yard and lay down on a recliner, with the brewed green tea steaming next to her.
She began to flip through the novel Huan Dong. After a pause, she looked through the table of contents and found the page about unnatural death and turned the page. Occasionally, there would always be books that wanted people to have a sneak peek, and at this time, the habit of reading page by page would have to be temporarily abandoned.
Yuzu Mikami is very curious about how the author Sanming will deal with the reversal of the Takahashi incident, how to deepen the theme, and put the respect for life in front of people. Without telling people directly, the bloody reality will always make people understand it themselves.
She immersed herself in reading.
[Although the truth is hard to accept, I often borrow a famous saying from a detective: Eliminate all impossible options, and the remaining possibility, no matter how impossible it is, is the truth; hospitals are places to save lives and heal the wounded, and they should be holy and pure. Why is this happening? ]This is because after an investigation by the heroine as a forensic doctor, she discovered that those people infected with the virus, including Takahashi, had all stayed in a hospital. Takahashi’s entry and exit time did not correspond to the virus’s incubation period and infection period. Combined with the fact that this hospital already had a laboratory for researching this virus, the result was already very obvious and it just needed to be confirmed.
Yuzu Mikami stopped reading, took a deep breath and savored the text carefully. This author gave her a big surprise.
The way he wrote the plot seemed to have nothing to do with the autopsy rate of unnatural deaths revealed at the beginning, which was far lower than that of normal countries. He didn’t seem to intend to dig deep into this matter, but after reading to this point, Yuzu Mikami found that he just changed the angle.
When the data is coldly laid out in front of you, reading related stories seems numb and not shocking enough; those that are slow, with twists and turns, and contrast are the best.
This seems to be just a story with a sense of reasoning, in which a female forensic doctor digs into the story behind a death, but the real core of it is the respect for life; no life is unworthy of respect, and a person’s death does not mean that everything in the world has nothing to do with him.
Picking up the teacup, Mikami Yuzu took a sip of tea and continued reading.
The story ends, the hospital holds a press conference to apologize, some resign, some go to jail, Takahashi’s injustice is vindicated, people apologize to him, newspapers publish apology statements, and Takahashi’s parents can hold their heads high and tell everyone that their education was not wrong.
[I know that this action doesn’t seem to have much value to me. I won’t get a promotion or a bonus because of it. I may even be targeted by the medical department in the future. But it doesn’t matter. I saw their smiles. I know that the truth is the most important. The truth has achieved the effect that the truth should have. Speaking for the dead, this is my responsibility. Yes, it is a responsibility.]Yuzu Mikami always felt that something was flowing in her blood vessels, and it was particularly hot.
She shook her head and continued reading. The story unfolded again, with a husband being accused by the prosecutor of murdering his wife.
Yuzu Mikami continued reading and the series ended.
“grass”
Dirty words came out of her mouth. The feeling of being interrupted when reading was so comfortable was too uncomfortable. Mikami Yuzu was a little crazy.
She took a deep breath to calm down. She wanted to continue reading other works, but for some reason she couldn’t calm down.
She simply stood up, took the teacup, returned to the study, and started writing today’s recommendation.
‘Respecting the dead is equal to respecting life’
She wrote the title.
The plot began to replay in her mind, those touching words, those profound words, and those advices that gave her the courage and passion to do so.
She organized her words and conceived the text, and then the sound of typing on the keyboard rang out.
At this time, the Internet had already caused a huge uproar.
After reading a work, people always have a lot to say and want to share their insights with others. In the past, there were reading clubs, societies, and like-minded people; now there is the Internet, social media, and forums.
After writing a few hundred words, Yuzu Mikami felt a little stuck, so she naturally opened the forum and started reading the comments to gain inspiration. Many interesting book reviews gave her inspiration.
“If I die quietly, I think I will just become a number in the increasing number of suicides in Japan every year. But if there is really a forensic doctor who is willing to examine my body and continue to investigate those doubts, then my death will not be silent.”
This is a hot review.
“Responsibility, responsibility, responsibility, that’s all.”
Article 2.
“Why is public opinion so scary? Because humans are social animals and they live in groups. If someone is just being cyberbullying, then everyone involved is a murderer.”
This was something I felt after reading about the experiences of Takahashi’s parents in the book.
“UDI is a non-existent organization, but the scarcity of forensic scientists is real. Is there a solution to this problem?”
Have questions.
“Respecting the lives of others is equal to respecting your own life.”
Yuzu Mikami’s eyes lit up. This sentence can be used.
Chapter 41 is on the hot search (old version)
Unlike last week’s series which only caused a small stir, this week’s series caused a bigger response.
Readers will post comments, tweets, the more excited ones will find the author’s Twitter to make some comments, and book reviewers will write long articles.
Readers, authors, book reviewers, and editors form a complete ecological chain. In Japan, a country where paper publishing still dominates the mainstream, such an ecosystem is still full of vitality.
Yuzu Mikami’s book review has a problem with the editorial style, but some people’s book reviews do not have a problem with the editorial style.
“In fact, I have been following the work of Unnatural Death since the last issue was published. After the new issue was released, many readers who had read it earlier asked me to read this work and write a review, but I actually started reading it a long time ago.
Different people see different things in each work, but I have a very extraordinary feeling. Why? Because I have personally witnessed the deeds of commissioning a forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy, investigate and then redress the injustice.
Anyone who has followed me knows that my main job is a lawyer, and writing book reviews is just my usual habit. I am fortunate to have everyone like my writings, so I put a lot of effort into sharing them with you.
Some people may not know the process of finding a forensic doctor in Neon. Generally speaking, after the prosecutor has completed the inspection and verification and concluded that the case is suicide, if the family of the deceased has any objections, they can pay for a forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy. Please note that it is quite expensive to pay for a forensic doctor on your own.
But if it is just the high price, it is not a big deal. After all, it is a matter of life and death, and everyone is willing to spend money. However, the scarcity of forensic institutions is really despairing. According to the latest information released by the Cabinet Office on the survey on admissions to forensic medicine majors, there are only 151 full-time teachers in Japan who hold a physician’s license. Please note that this is national data.
We will not discuss why Japan, as a developed country, is in such a situation. There are too many reasons, and the author Sanming did not discuss them in depth in the book.
I just want to tell you that what Sanming wrote is the fact before us: the autopsy rate of abnormal deaths in Neon is so low.
Enough of the small talk, let’s start discussing books.
The writer Sanming seems to have appeared out of nowhere, but his sophisticated writing style and grasp of the plot rhythm do not seem like that of a newcomer. I tend to believe that this is a pseudonym of a famous writer. The well-known Japanese writers always have this habit.
I have to praise Sanming for his handling of the plot! Really, I have to praise it! This reversal is really interesting. We never thought that the real reason was the hospital, but in terms of reasoning, it is indeed linked layer by layer. I think this writer can consider writing mystery novels. After all, there are no interesting mystery novels recently.
These two issues show many things contained in this work, responsibility, obligation, commitment, public opinion violence, respect for life, practice. Sanming naturally integrated these things into this work, or in these two issues;
We admire the protagonist’s attitude of speaking for the deceased, admire her willingness to investigate even though there is no profit to be made, and admire her attitude of heading for the place where there is a tiger even though she knows there is one, although we may not meet such a forensic doctor in reality.
In the latest serial, Sanming metaphorically criticized the current medical system. This should be something that all readers have personally come into contact with and have personal experience with. I don’t need to say much to understand that everyone knows what Japan’s hospitals and medical system are like.
My words may seem a bit confusing as I write this, but I don’t intend to revise them. This work has touched me deeply, so many words are coming out.
In fact, this kind of cases often happen in Japan. The prosecutor believes that it is suicide or other reasons, but the family members disagree and then ask the forensic doctor to perform an autopsy and then overturn the verdict. Yes, it happens often.
How many of you have seen the 2007 sumo wrestler suicide case? A sumo wrestler weighing several hundred kilograms suddenly died. After examining the case, the prosecutor naturally concluded that it was a heart attack. Everyone seemed to accept this conclusion because sumo wrestlers have short life spans, so there was nothing wrong with this reason.
But the family disagreed and asked a forensic doctor to perform an autopsy on the body. The investigation concluded that the cause of death was bullying. Sumo wrestlers being bullied? This is really a joke, but it does happen. I don’t know if the prosecutor continued to work in this industry. I just hope he can treat every deceased person well and respect life.
I think Sanming’s original intention in writing this work was to tell everyone to respect life and respect the dead. If a country cannot even investigate the cause of death of each person, then what is the point of all the various policies that respect life that are introduced?
Finally, I am looking forward to Sanming’s subsequent series. He is indeed a very talented writer. If he is really a newcomer, I think it is unlikely, but if he is, I am willing to admit that he is a genius. “
This is the latest long review by Angel, a famous book critic on Twitter.
At the same time, many book critics gave comments, and more people began to pay attention to this work and started to buy and read it. The trend of a prairie fire has been formed.
Yuzu Mikami finally finished writing today’s recommended book review before twelve o’clock. This was a work that she worked very hard on and took her nearly three hours to write.
When I opened Twitter, I saw that fans were already urging me frantically. People who haven’t read the book want to see the reviews to decide whether to read it, and people who have read the book want to see the reviews to test whether they have read what the author wanted to express, and then read it again to get a new experience.
Yuzu Mikami sent the tweet and then began to browse the tweets of book critics and related people she followed.
It is true that a single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Yuzu Mikami noticed that in the trending search rankings on Twitter, the term “Respect Life—Unnatural Death” has climbed to seventh place, and its popularity is still rising with each refresh.
This is because many office workers today are still at work and do not have access to the Internet. People who subscribe to magazines regularly generally have a stable income and are mostly office workers. Yuzu Mikami understands this simple reasoning.
She saw Angel’s long review, which was poorly written and incoherent, with random comments. The only good thing about it was that Angel had experienced this kind of thing herself.
~~~
At this time, in the Novel Trends editorial department, Shunsuke Hanyu had just finished get off work and was having lunch when he took out his phone and opened Twitter.
Number of followers: 180,000, an increase of more than 100,000 in one go?
Chapter 42 Fuchun’s Apology (Old Version)
Although Shunsuke Hanyu thought that his book might become popular, the experience of failed writers in his previous life might not be useful. Moreover, although he had received recognition from his mentor Kawabata, and even editors-in-chief Kobayashi Hideo and Tenichi Jun expressed optimism, no one knew until the result came out.
But in last week’s reader satisfaction survey, Machida Sonoko told him that unnatural deaths ranked third, which was actually a trend, but after all, it was not first, and it was not a soaring success, so there were still hidden dangers.
But now, the increase in the number of fans means that this work has really caused heated discussion.
Shunsuke Hanyu began to read various messages@. The readers were very enthusiastic and excited. All kinds of praise, feelings and blessings made Shunsuke Hanyu very excited. The praise from readers is the highest honor for the author.
Maybe this work could win some awards? Hanyu Shunsuke thought, is it possible to win the Naoki Prize? He began to have wild ideas. Winning an award is not only an honor, but also brings many invisible benefits such as royalties and commissions.
With over 100,000 fans, he can make a lot of money from advertising, right? Hanyu Shunsuke has a lot of ideas to make money.
This time of different developments was both familiar and unfamiliar. In his previous life, Hanyu was just a failed writer. None of the information he looked up nor the knowledge he mastered could allow him to accumulate wealth quickly.
I occasionally heard about Bitcoin and football news, but when I checked, they were completely different. The changes in the literary and art world were even greater. Plus, this was a dream I had in my past life, so I plunged into the writer circle.
But if a writer does not publish books, his income is indeed not that high, and several shopping encounters with Yukinoshita Haruno have strengthened Hanyu Shunsuke’s idea of ​​making money. It is not for a high quality of life, nor for extreme luxury, but simply to have money in his pocket so that he can feel at ease.
One day when I go out shopping, I can take out my bank card and buy a piece of clothing as a gift for Yukinoshita Haruno, that’s all.
Hanyu looked at the tweets that @ him and the long reviews from many book reviewers, and began to read them in order.
This is something he created on his own based on his creative ideas. Many things in it are actually quite different from the work in the original time and space. Even each person’s reading experience will be different, let alone writing.
What he expressed more was the core of respecting life, and he also included some forensic mottos about the rights of the living and speaking for the dead, as well as some additional social ills that he was concerned about.
There was heated public opinion on the Internet, but after finishing his meal, Shunsuke Hanyu still had to go back to work.
He didn’t know if it was his illusion or something, but he always felt that the editors looked at him strangely.
Shunsuke Hanyu sat down, entered the password to unlock the computer, and continued working.
Last time, he recommended Kasumi Shiko’s “Window Light” to his colleagues at “Shincho” and received a reply. The other party said that the work was indeed excellent and could be serialized. Hanyu Shunsuke asked him to contact Kasumi Shiko himself.
Fuchun has been transferred and left for “Travel”. Hanyu Shunsuke doesn’t know whether Yukinoshita Haruno has already used any connections, nor does he know what editor-in-chief Tenichi Jun’s methods are. He is too lazy to find out. Anyway, they are destined to be people from two different worlds.
“Hanyu-san, please come to the office for a moment.”
The editor-in-chief came back late after lunch, and the first thing he said when he came in was to greet him.
Sitting down in the office, Hanyu Shunsuke looked at Tian Yijun, waiting for him to speak.
“Although I have tried to overestimate your level, I didn’t expect it to be to this level.”
Tian Yichun smiled with some emotion.
“I was browsing Twitter at noon and I didn’t expect to see unnatural deaths on the trending search. Congratulations to Hanyu-san first.”
He expressed his congratulations.
When a writer becomes famous, other things are not far behind.
“Editor-in-Chief Tianyi has done a good job of training.”
Shunsuke Hanyu said something cliché.
“If you say that I have defended you in the workplace, then that is a fact and I will shamelessly accept it if you thank me, but I have never given you any advice on writing. Besides, my level is not as good as yours.”
Tian Yichun shook his head.
“Don’t speak so old-fashionedly when you are young.”
He thinks this is not a good thing for Shunsuke Hanyu, and that young people need to be energetic.
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded to show that he accepted the instruction.
“Please come in and congratulate me. I would also like to emphasize that you should consider our magazine for your next work. It is a good idea to keep the wealth within the family.”
Tian Yichun continued, the relationship is just like that, one sentence is just right, any more would be boring.
“Also, Fuchun’s situation isn’t very good, but I shouldn’t have done anything to put him in this situation, right?”
Tian Yi asked purely tentatively.
Tian Yichun was certainly angry at Fuchun for not giving him face, and was also angry at him for committing an insubordination, but at his age he was not that hot-tempered, and he just wanted him to come over, bow his head, apologize and admit his mistake, so he just asked his friends to make things difficult for him and then give Fuchun some advice, and he just wanted to vent his anger.
But now, Fuchun’s situation is not very good. If it continues like this, he will probably be forced to resign. As an old employee of Xiaoshuo Xinchao, Tian Yichun is relatively familiar with Fuchun’s family structure. One person earns money for three people, and it would be really difficult for him to lose his job.
“I asked for a favor a while ago.”
Hanyu Shunsuke remembered that he had asked Yukinoshita Haruno for help.
“He’s in a bit of a bad place right now.”
Hanyu Shunsuke remembered something. He had asked Yukinoshita Haruno for help. Editor-in-chief Tenichi Jun would also take revenge. If one plus one equals one, then it would be fine. But if one plus one equals two, then Fu Haruma would be really miserable.
“I understand. I’ll stop once I get an apology.”
An apology is enough, the rest is not important. He doesn’t care about the reasons or the subsequent results. An apology is the end of it.
End of conversation.
Shunsuke Hanyu returned to his position and continued to work. He was not that violent and would not destroy a family. If a middle-aged man really lost his job or was targeted, it would be easy for him to collapse.
At 5:30, it was time to get off work, and he was still the last one to leave the editorial office. Hanyu Shunsuke closed the window and was about to turn off the power when he heard footsteps at the entrance.
The person I was talking to before is here now, but maybe Editor-in-Chief Tianyi gave him some advice?
“Fuchun mulberry.”
“Hanyu-san.”
His expression was strangely complicated.
Then there is a standard doze.
Chapter 43 Chitanda Aier’s Request (Old Version)
Monday, sunny.
Shunsuke Hanyu came to Kawabata’s laboratory and began his studies.
Professor Kawabata continued to study on his own until about eleven o’clock, when he slowly came to the laboratory. It seemed that he would face various affairs whenever he came to school. The laboratory became his paradise. After all, teaching could not be disturbed.
“Professor Kawabata.”
As he came in, everyone greeted him.
“Let’s gather for a short meeting first.”
Professor Kawabata said.
“You are all majoring in Neon Literature in the Literature Department. I was recently inspired to give you an assignment.”
Professor Kawabata said, his hand on the table.
The Faculty of Letters at the University of Tokyo has many disciplines, including Oriental history, Western history, philosophy, Japanese linguistics, Japanese literature, etc. However, Professor Kawabata generally only recruits graduate students in Japanese linguistics and Japanese literature.
“Professor, please speak.”
Chitanda Eru said that she was selected as a professor’s assistant in this laboratory. In fact, she serves as a bridge for communication between professors and students, and she also guides the atmosphere at ordinary times.
“Recently, your classmate Shunsuke Hanyu has completed a novel and successfully published it. Although you have different specialties, most of them are related to modern literature. So, can you also create a work of your own?”
“Of course I don’t require you to serialize or anything like that, but if you can write an interesting work based on your own research, that would be very meaningful.”
Shunsuke Hanyu was stunned, somewhat surprised that Professor Kawabata would say that.
Studying literature and creating literature are two different things. If the people present were to discuss literature or appreciate literature with them, they would definitely be very knowledgeable, but it would probably be very difficult for them to write it themselves.
And Shunsuke Hanyu always feels a little ashamed when it is said out loud.
“Professor, what kind of work did Hanyu-san write?”
Chitanda Eru’s focus is always filled with personal style.
“‘Unnatural’ is very popular recently.”
Professor Kawabata said with a smile, his eyes sliding across Hanyu Shunsuke and raising his eyebrows slightly.
“Why????”
Three voices rang out at the same time, and three surprised eyes looked over at the same time.
“In short, I hope everyone can create something of their own. I don’t care about the quality, as long as it reflects the direction of your research.”
Professor Kawabata concluded.
“I have a meeting. Let’s study on our own today. We’ll decide on the topic for the next study session this Wednesday.”
After he finished speaking, he left the laboratory.
Shunsuke Hanyu watched Professor Kawabata leave, and when he turned around, he saw Chitanda and the two senior students standing up.
“Hanyu-san!!! You promised to tell me if you create something!!!”
Chitanda Eru took the lead.
“Hanyu-san! You’ve given us more homework!!”
Senior A said.
After a happy conversation, Shunsuke Hanyu won their forgiveness in exchange for a hotpot meal.
However, the two seniors are easy to talk to, but Chitanda Eru is not so easy.
The relationship between Shunsuke Hanyu and Chitanda Eru was actually not that good. Even though they were classmates during their undergraduate studies, Shunsuke Hanyu was always busy with his career, so they didn’t have much communication.
It was not until the early stages of my doctoral studies, the so-called master’s stage, that I entered Professor Kawabata’s laboratory. Since we were classmates, we quickly became familiar with each other.
When he had just graduated from university, Shunsuke Hanyu was in relatively difficult financial situation. Chitanda Eru helped him several times without leaving a trace, and helped Shunsuke Hanyu in a way that was easy to accept, so the relationship between the two became relatively good.
It was lunch time, and the two seniors went to the cafeteria together, leaving Hanyu Shunsuke to face Chitanda alone.
“Hanyu-san! We had agreed on this.”
Her big eyes were staring at him straight, without any expression, just staring at him with dissatisfaction.
“Sorry, sorry!”
Shunsuke Hanyu could only clasp his hands together and apologize repeatedly.
Chitanda Aier looked a little strange. How could such a serious person like him use such a relatively playful way of apologizing?
“I can’t be appeased by a hot pot meal.”
Chitanda Eru said with a smile.
“That’s right~ If you want to get rid of Chitanda-san, you need at least ten hotpot meals.”
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded in approval and said jokingly.
“Then let’s have ten hotpot meals!!”
She agreed immediately.
“Haha~”
Looking at Hanyu Shunsuke’s strange expression, Chitanda suddenly laughed.
“But seriously, Hanyu-san, I just read Unnatural Death a while ago, it’s really a great work.”
Chitanda just laughed a little and changed the subject.
“Thanks for the compliment.”
Hanyu Shunsuke is actually quite proud of it. Although it is a second-hand plagiarism, it is all hard work except for the creativity.
“Your mouth is pouting~”
Chitanda teased.
She was a little confused. Was it because they hadn’t seen each other for too long? She felt that Hanyu-san’s personality had become more cheerful and active, and he was not as serious as before.
“Let’s have lunch first.”
Chitanda said.
She brings her own bento, and so does Hanyu Shunsuke, but he buys it at a convenience store as he doesn’t have the patience to make it himself, although his predecessor did have this habit.
“Is this from a convenience store?”
Chitanda Ariel recognized the packaging.
“Didn’t Hanyu-san do it himself before?”
She was a little confused.
“lazy.”
The one-word answer is the most insightful.
She couldn’t help laughing.
After opening the lunch box, Chitanda looked at her sumptuous meal, then at the Hanyu Shunsuke supermarket three-piece set, feeling a little helpless.
“Come to think of it, I’m also curious about the taste of the supermarket bento. Let’s take turns eating.”
“Oh~Okay.”
Hanyu Shunsuke was stunned for a moment and then agreed. Maybe the young lady really has never tasted it?
Her bento was quite rich, with a combination of meat and vegetables including fried shrimp tempura, beef and catfish sushi, etc.
“Let me try it first~”
Chitanda picked up her chopsticks first.
“It tastes a bit weird, but is it okay?”
She gave her judgment and said that there was actually too much salt, the rice was a little hard, and there were other shortcomings.
Shunsuke Hanyu also tried Chitanda’s sushi and grilled meat.
To be honest, it tastes great.
“Chitanda-san’s cooking skills are quite impressive!!!”
Shunsuke Hanyu expressed his sincere admiration.
“In that case, Hanyu-san, let’s discuss something.”
She pushed her hair behind her ears, then propped her face up to look at him, staring at him with her sparkling eyes.
Shunsuke Hanyu asked in confusion and took a bite of his rice ball. The difference in taste was immediately apparent, making it a little difficult for him to swallow.
“As a writer, Hanyu-san, there must be a follow-up manuscript, right? I want to read it~~”
Chitanda’s smile is very cute.
“Of course~ I understand there’s a risk of leaks, so I can watch it in front of Hanyu-san, but it’s impossible for me to remember everything.”
Hanyu Shunsuke suddenly remembered that he himself thought the rice ball was unpalatable, would she think it tasted okay?
Chitanda, what a cute girl…
He agreed immediately.
Chapter 44 I’m curious! (Old version)
The manuscript is already in electronic form on the laptop, but Chitanda Eru said,
“Wouldn’t it be strange to read a new work without reading the paper version? The electronic version is simply not a good reading experience!!”
For a long time, Shunsuke Hanyu has discovered that Chitanda Eru has a unique pursuit and enjoyment in reading, and is also very curious.
“I do have a paper copy, but I don’t have it with me in my apartment.”
Hanyu said after a slight hesitation.
His writing habits are relatively general. Sometimes he types on the keyboard, and sometimes he uses a pen. However, after typing, he will transcribe with a pen, and after writing with a pen, he will also type on the keyboard to supplement the electronic file. What is sent to the editorial department is another manuscript printed out in an electronic file.
“Is it the first manuscript?”
Her bright eyes were staring intently, as if there was a star-like halo inside, making people dizzy and unable to look directly at him.
“I guess so.”
“Then I must watch it!!”
She stood up suddenly, supported herself on the table with her hands, leaned forward across the center line of the table, her eyes sparkling.
I am curious? Hanyu suddenly remembered this scene from the anime and wanted to laugh.
He was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. He would repay kindness and revenge as well, so it was just a manuscript and it didn’t matter to him to show it to her; her lunch box was really fragrant, and of course this friendship was more important.
Hanyu recalled that his previous incarnation must have received help from her many times. People with kind hearts are always easy to get close to.
“After the afternoon training is over.”
“Then it’s settled!!”
She nodded happily and stretched out her little finger.
Shunsuke Hanyu asked a question.
“Hook!!!”
She had a very strange look on her face. After making sure that this guy was not as serious as before, Chitanda became a little more active. It was not that she remained serious because she had any intentions towards him, but mainly because his seriousness made her unconsciously become serious as well.
“And this one?”
Hanyu was really unable to laugh at this, but his finger had already extended as he spoke, pinky-pinching with her.
Lunch continues, lunch ends.
Professor Kawabata’s sudden announcement did not bring much change to the laboratory, because he only announced an intention, and the real matters would have to wait until the regular meeting on Wednesday for detailed discussion.
And even if this is confirmed, it’s no big deal. None of the four people in Kawabata’s laboratory would think that this is a difficult task. It’s just that it will take a lot of energy to write something that they are satisfied with and is in line with the research direction.
But this is more interesting than doing theoretical research all the time, isn’t it?
In the laboratory, everyone except Hanyu and Chitanda has a very good relationship. After all, they have been together for more than a year, so they do everything in pairs and even share an apartment outside the school.
“See you tomorrow.”
They said goodbye and left the laboratory just after the afternoon study session ended.
Hanyu and Chitanda responded.
Only after the door was closed did Hanyu turn around and look at Chitanda.
“Are you sure you want to go?”
He confirmed.
“It’s a promise! If you change your mind, you’ll get stabbed in the butt with needles a hundred times!”
Chitanda casually said something very scary.
What kind of elementary school student’s speech is this! ! How come I haven’t noticed her childish side before? Hanyu Shunsuke was a little speechless.
We left the laboratory together and walked for three minutes to the tram station. Like Chiba University, Tokyo University has a tram station to facilitate students’ travel.
Eight minutes by tram, three minutes on foot, thirty seconds by elevator, and fifteen seconds on foot, we arrived at the door of Shunsuke Hanyu’s apartment.
Standing in front of the door, looking at Chitanda who was waiting for him to open the door, Hanyu Shunsuke suddenly thought of something. Is this considered an affair? Or is it a hidden beauty? No, I haven’t used Chinese idioms for so long that they are a little short-circuited. It should be out of reach.
Chitanda noticed something strange.
“Are you sure you want to go in? Or should I take out the manuscript and look at it in the cafe downstairs?”
Hanyu made the final confirmation.
He felt that something was not good, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong; in the agreement with Yukinoshita Haruno, when one party intends to start a romantic relationship with an outsider, the marriage relationship can be hidden and explained when necessary, provided that no unnecessary disclosure occurs.
But the frequent contact with Yukinoshita Haruno recently always made him feel that he and Yukinoshita Haruno were really in a relationship.
“Hanyu-san has a girlfriend?”
Chitanda seemed to suddenly understand something.
“No, please come in.”
Hanyu Shunsuke shook his head and opened the door.
Even though his recent contact with Yukinoshita Haruno was indeed close and even ambiguous, Hanyu Shunsuke did not believe that he and Yukinoshita Haruno could spark a romance; if it were his previous incarnation, they might really have a respectful marriage because of this agreement, and might even have children many years later because of some opportunity.
But now, it is hard for Hanyu Shunsuke to believe that Yukinoshita, who used marriage as a bargaining chip, would really have feelings for him. Are those feelings fabricated? Or is it 100% fabricated? Her attitude has changed so much.
The entrance of a single apartment is naturally narrow.
“It’s a bit narrow, please forgive me.”
Hanyu unpacked a pair of brand new slippers and handed them to her.
“I live alone, so it’s enough!”
Chitanda understood very well.
Beyond the entrance hall, the living room seems a little empty with few decorations, just some sundries that are used occasionally.
There were no potted flowers on the balcony and no decorations in the room. It seemed lifeless. Chitanda frowned.
“Tea or?”
Hanyu asked as he put his things down.
“It’s all right. It doesn’t matter what you drink! Let’s get to the main course!”
Chitanda ignored everything else for now.
Hanyu smiled and went to the bedroom to take out the manuscript for her, then poured her a bottle of purified water because he was too lazy to make tea. He also went to the refrigerator and cut some fruit as a treat.
Chitanda began to immerse herself in reading. She only hummed softly when he said “the fruit is here” and “just drink it”. She also started to swing her legs, sitting on the sofa, swinging her little feet casually.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at her like this, somewhat admiring and somewhat speechless, so what kind of family would raise such a girl? From what I usually see, Chitanda’s family should be well-off, and they are indeed from Takayama City. Are they really the landlord class as I remember?
If that were the case, there should be a richer life, more hobbies and the like. What’s the point of being a bookworm?
He took out his notebook, sat on the floor in the living room, and began editing.
About half an hour,
“It’s gone!!!!”
Chitanda puffed her cheeks, looking unsatisfied.
“That’s all I wrote!”
Shunsuke Hanyu felt a little helpless.
“Please hurry up and read the rest of the story!! I’m very curious!!!”
She said with her eyes wide open.
Chapter 45 Publishing Treaty (Old Version)
The waves caused by unnatural deaths were somewhat beyond Hanyu Shunsuke’s expectations.
He originally thought that it was just a discussion and venting thing online, and then he would gain some fame and fans and that would be it.
But the trend in the past two days is somewhat different.
At first, there were spontaneous discussions among readers, followed by long reviews by book critics. After attracting public attention, sociologists also joined in to express their opinions. Some politicians also jumped up and down to criticize the ruling party. Newspapers were not to be outdone and followed current affairs closely in order to sell more copies.
“Please take a seat, Teacher Sanming.”
Kobayashi Hideo’s attitude improved a little.
It was Thursday afternoon, and after getting off work at Novel Shincho, Shunsuke Hanyu was invited by Machida Sonoko to the editorial department of Novel Fantasy Winter.
“I asked you to come here today mainly because I have something I want to discuss with you.”
Kobayashi Hideo knew that when talking to these writers, he had to get straight to the point and not beat around the bush.
What else could it be if not a discussion? Hanyu Shunsuke muttered to himself.
“You’ve seen the recent heat over unnatural deaths. It’s the hottest topic these days.”
He actually thought that the release of this work would attract attention, but he didn’t expect it to reach this point. It can only be said that with the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of national quality, everyone is paying close attention to these things that are closely related to themselves, and has been accumulating considerable dissatisfaction with the government and society for a long time, which has now erupted.
Of course, this was not something Hideo Kobayashi came up with; it was a tweet from a sociology expert.
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded. His number of followers on Twitter has reached more than 500,000, which is a pretty good number. He can support himself with the money earned from advertising.
Although many people pay attention to the problems in the forensic system revealed by Unnatural Death, very few people then turn to pay attention to works about Unnatural Death. Otherwise, there are still quite a few Japanese netizens, and even if they could gather a few million, it would still be a drop in the bucket.
“Do you have any thoughts on this?”
Kobayashi Hideo asked tentatively.
“What ideas can I have?”
Hanyu rolled his eyes. He wanted to take some advertisements to make money, and some businesses approached him, but it was just a thought.
Hideo Kobayashi realized that he had made a mistake again and should not have guided his child in this way.
“It’s like this, Huan Dong Society intends to invest and help boost the situation, but there is a condition.”
He decided to get straight to the point.
Hanyu Shunsuke said he was all ears.
“We hope you will sign a publishing agreement for Unnatural Death.”
Now Shunsuke Hanyu understood what was going on.
“So specifically, what kind of facilities does Fantasy Winter Society plan to use to fuel the trend? And what are the specific terms of the publishing contract?”
Hanyu asked.
“You may not know that many reporters from magazines and newspapers wanted to interview you before, but we temporarily held them back. Huandong Society’s idea is to have you accept exclusive interviews, appear on TV programs, and pay experts to comment on you. We will use a multi-pronged approach to maintain the popularity of public opinion.”
“As for the share of the contract, we have discussed and decided to give 12%.”
Hanyu Shunsuke smiled, not knowing what to say, he just found it a little funny.
“Is this your opinion, or your superiors’?”
“You know, there are many things I can’t decide.”
Kobayashi Hideo also restrained his expression. He felt the sarcasm in Hanyu Shunsuke’s smile.
In fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the decision, but the profit sharing ratio and the so-called multi-pronged measures seemed stupid.
But he is just the editor-in-chief. The directors of other departments are on the same level as him, and above him are the president, the executive director, and the director.
“I think this condition is still subject to negotiation. What do you think?”
“I think this condition is quite good!”
The door of the conference room was suddenly opened and a young man came in.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at Hideo Kobayashi, then looked at Sonoko Machida who had been standing next to him with a blank expression, and felt like laughing.
Is it so difficult now just to write a book quietly?
“People need to be content, do you understand?”
The person who came in walked up to Hanyu Shunsuke, bent down and spoke word by word.
“Is this also your opinion, Editor-in-Chief Kobayashi?”
Hanyu Shunsuke remained calm and looked at Kobayashi Hideo.
“This is the new supervisor, Jian Chengyi.”
Hideo Kobayashi introduced.
The current president and even chairman of Gentosha is Toru Kenjo.
Shunsuke Hanyu had a headache, and he even tapped his forehead impolitely.
“I hope Editor-in-Chief Kobayashi can come up with other conditions. Otherwise, I can only say sorry.”
“Then I’ll take my leave now.”
He turned and walked towards the meeting room door.
“What do you mean?”
Jian Chengyi felt insulted.
“See the city inspector! Are you still going to interfere with other people’s personal freedom?”
Kobayashi Hideo raised his voice a little.
Hanyu Shunsuke pursed his lips and left the Fantasy Winter Club.
He is indeed a rising star. Hanyu Shunsuke is speechless to see someone doing things this way.
Although it sounds good, such as exclusive interviews, appearing on TV shows, and inviting expert comments, etc.; but these things can be done by Shunsuke Hanyu himself, and the so-called expert comments have already been tweeted by others in order to get attention.
As for invitations to programs and interviews, some reporters have already contacted Hanyu Shunsuke via private messages on Twitter.
Although Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t pay much attention to the private messages because there were too many of them, that guy was very good at repeatedly swiping a message and managed to get to the first place in the private message list.
Generally speaking, if magazines or TV stations want to contact Shunsuke Hanyu, they will go through the magazine, but Gentosha blocked those things, although it was called delay.
And the 12% share left Shunsuke Hanyu speechless; if he was a newcomer, he would definitely be grateful for the 12%; even if the unnatural death was just a small fire, he would be very grateful.
The Japanese publishing industry generally pays writers royalties of 8% to 14%. New writers generally get around 10%, and light novel writers generally get 8%, because 2% has to be shared with illustrators.
But the popularity of Unnatural Death has reached this point, but they only give 12%, require an advance contract, and use some fraudulent things as bargaining chips. Hanyu Shunsuke doesn’t know whether it is that Jiancheng Yi has a problem in his brain, or he thinks he has a problem in his brain.
“Editor-in-Chief Xiaolin, do you have any information about him that you haven’t told me?”
Jiancheng Yi felt something was wrong from Hanyu Shunsuke’s attitude, which was different from the result of his previous investigation and prediction.
Kobayashi Hideo curled his lips, too lazy to pay attention to him, and stood up to leave the meeting room.
Chapter 46 Machida Sonoko’s Answer (Old Version)
“Teacher Hanyu, I’m really sorry for this.”
After get off work, Machida Sonoko chose to visit him in person, but the meeting place was arranged by Hanyu Shunsuke at a cafe downstairs. The author’s instinct made him resist the editor knowing his home address.
“Editor Machida is just an editor in charge. You can’t be blamed for anything.”
He actually didn’t care much about this matter. Although he was very angry, that was it. Because after seeing a very stupid person, when he saw those who were not so stupid, even though he was angry, that was it.
“Actually~ Mr. Hanyu was also implicated this time.”
Machida Sonoko paused before speaking.
“It seems like there is some inside information?”
Hanyu Shunsuke laughed and said that he felt that it was not surprising to have inside information, but it was surprising that Jian Chengyi was a simple idiot without inside information.
Most well-educated people are rarely idiots. Of course, there are some idiots out there, but generally speaking, they are hard to come by.
“Does Mr. Hanyu know the history of the Fantasy Winter Society?”
Machida Sonoko looked a little tired.
“You know about it, right? My major is Japanese literature, and I have looked up information on this subject based on some investigative reports.”
Hanyu replied.
“Then you should know that the way the headquarters of Huan Dong Society controls the branch companies is by acquiring shares and sending core personnel.”
Machida Sonoko said.
“That’s right.”
Not only Gentosha, but most literary and art publishing companies, including Shinchosha, Kodansha, and companies with different functions such as library and publishing houses, all directly set up subsidiaries. When the company develops to a certain stage, the departmental division is naturally not enough.
“The novel Fantasy Winter was founded by President Jiancheng and a group of core staff, and it has always been run by President Jiancheng Tetsu.”
Hanyu seemed to understand something and motioned for her to continue.
“In fact, President Kenjo Toru has really developed the novel Fantasy Winter very well.”
There was a hint of admiration in Machida Sonoko’s tone.
The history of Shinchosha is nearly a hundred years, while Gentosha is only about twenty years old. It is truly amazing that Mijo Toru has been able to develop to this point.
“However, the head office has always wanted to take back the management rights of Xiaoshuo Huandong. However, during the bubble economy, the founders had already obtained the initial shares. Later, President Kenjo Toru collected many shares through mergers and purchases, and even sat on the chairman’s seat of the board of directors.”
Machida Sonoko explained.
“So I am involved in the struggle between the head office and the branch office?”
Hanyu Shunsuke understood a little bit.
“That’s right~ Editor-in-Chief Kobayashi is actually from the head office, and Kenjo Ei was just promoted to supervisor by President Kenjo Toru.”
Hanyu Shunsuke pinched the bridge of his nose and felt a little headache. So if that Jian Chengyi was an idiot, it wouldn’t be a big deal. If he could cover the sky with one hand, then he should change places quickly. If he couldn’t, someone would suppress him and the series could continue.
But this situation is very annoying.
“Editor Machida, please help me solve this problem.”
Hanyu Shunsuke stood up and thanked him.
“The duty of the editor is to create the best creative environment for writers, but I really can’t stand up and speak out, and my words are not influential, so I’m sorry.”
Machida Sonoko apologized instead.
“It’s always like this in the workplace, Editor Machida, don’t worry too much.”
Shunsuke Hanyu understands her very well.
After some final greetings, the two said goodbye to each other.
Hanyu Shunsuke flicked his forehead, a little speechless. It seemed that he had bad luck since he regained his memory? He always met idiots.
He stood up and prepared to go to the front desk to pay the bill, but was told that Machida Sonoko had already paid the bill, so he went back upstairs to read the contract carefully.
~At this time, in the office of President Huandong of the novel,
“President, Mr. Sanming refused to sign the contract.”
Jiancheng Yi sat opposite Jiancheng Toru.
“Where do you think the problem lies?”
Jian Cheng Toru is already a gray-haired man, and now he just wants to train his son well to enter the novel Huandong.
“I somewhat believe the information about Mr. Sanming given by Kobayashi Hideo. The investigation is not thorough enough.”
Jian Chengyi concluded.
Although he pretended to be frivolous, he was nearly thirty years old this year. Why was he still frivolous? He was just pretending to be so to make it easier for him to do things in the workplace.
“From my investigation, I learned that although Mr. Sanming studied at the University of Tokyo, his family was ordinary. Although his mentor was Master Kawabata, Master Kawabata would take on graduate students every year. He worked for Shinchosha to serialize his works, but was rejected by Shinchosha, which shows that his career foundation is not deep.”
“Based on all of this, I think he should accept this contract because he probably doesn’t have the ability to find another way out.”
Jian Chengyi’s respectful analysis.
“But it seems that there is something wrong with this analysis.”
Kenjo Toru said.
“What do you think are the possible reasons why Mr. Sanming refused?”
asked Kenjo Toru.
“It could be that young people are just too arrogant to be bullied, but according to the information, Mr. Sanming grew up alone and shouldn’t have such a mentality. So it could only be that he has enough confidence, but the source of this confidence is not clear.”
Jian Chengyi replied.
He has been moving around in various subsidiaries of Huan Dong Society in the past few years, and finally returned to the headquarters to work. It seems that the first fire of the new official will burn himself, which makes Cheng Yi a little headache.
“What do you plan to do next?”
Jian Chengche asked, this is a good opportunity for training.
“First, he went to apologize and alienated the relationship between Mr. Sanming and Chief Editor Xiaolin. Then, he promised him a huge profit-sharing contract. Then, he challenged Chief Editor Xiaolin at the board meeting and cultivated his own people in the editorial department.”
See city art workplace n even.
“Then just do it.”
Jian Chengche nodded.
“Did you learn any lessons this time?”
Jian Chengche asked again.
“Textual information is too superficial. You have to make a decision after meeting the person in person.”
“very good!”
Jian Chengche was still very satisfied.
“Then father, I will set off now to visit Teacher Sanming, so that I can show my sincerity.”
Jian Chengyi stood up and said goodbye.
Shunsuke Hanyu was watching a comedy variety show. He was actually still very angry and annoyed, but he didn’t show it on his face. Then there was a sudden knock on the door.
He was still wondering who it was, when he opened the door he saw the person he saw this afternoon.
“Teacher Sanming, I’m here to apologize for my rudeness this afternoon. I wonder if you can give me a chance?”
When meeting a city artist, the etiquette is in place and everyone bows at a 45-degree angle.
Shunsuke Hanyu reached out and led him in.
Chapter 47 Yang Nai came to visit (old version)
After seeing Cheng Yi walk in, he first looked around the environment and tried to analyze the personality of this Sanming teacher, so that he could choose the right response method later.
“Teacher Sanming, I’m really sorry for my previous rudeness. I hope it bothered you.”
After sitting down, Jian Chengyi bowed his head and apologized again.
“To express my apologies, I have brought a brand new contract for your review.”
He pulled the contract out of his briefcase and handed it over.
Hanyu took it and began to read it carefully, and the royalties were raised to 15%.
Huh? This is really a big investment.
Fifteen percent is a share that only the most famous of the famous are entitled to, and giving this share is almost a recognition of Shunsuke Hanyu’s status. As long as his second book doesn’t flop, the share of future books he publishes won’t be much lower.
“Your attitude changes really quickly~”
Shunsuke Hanyu was a little confused. This guy had been so youthful and frivolous in the meeting room before, but why was he so respectful and polite now?
Is this what it means to be a social person?
“I was deceived by Kobayashi-san before! He deliberately obscured your message, which led me to have a wrong attitude towards you. I am very sorry for this.”
He felt relieved when Cheng Yi replied.
As long as he talked about this, it meant that he was already interested in the contract, so the previous incident would not have to be a fishbone that kept getting in his way.
“This contract is sincere and has been written into the contract. Novel Fantasy Winter promises to invest no less than 100 million yen in publicity operations. We also plan to hold a sword-fighting essay contest on the theme of unnatural death to greatly increase the popularity of your work! Other measures will be planned by the publicity department, and your opinions will be fully sought.”
Jian Chengyi attacks with a combination of punches.
Hanyu Shunsuke thought for a moment and put the contract on the coffee table.
“I still need to think about it and can’t reply immediately.”
“I understand. You can ask a lawyer to look at the contract. It is absolutely true and valid without any ambiguous clauses. Xiaoshuo Huandong’s apology is absolutely sincere enough. If it weren’t for Editor-in-Chief Xiaolin’s interference, this would have been the contract that was first presented.”
When he first came in and saw Cheng Yi, he refused to mention anything to explain, but the situation is different now. He has already sat down on the sofa, so he can throw some dirty water on him.
And in fact, he was not wrong in the first place. If Kobayashi Hideo had not been ambiguous about the message, as long as he saw that Cheng Yi knew that Teacher Sanming was confident, he would not have gone to find out where the confidence came from and would have directly taken out the contract. He was pretending to be stupid, not really stupid.
“I see.”
“This is my business card. If you have any questions, you can consult me ​​directly.”
Seeing Shiroi handing out his business card, Hanyu also handed out his own business card.
“Then I’ll take my leave.”
He knew when to stop, he had already taken a two-pronged approach of appealing to people’s emotions and enticing them with benefits, all he had to do was wait, otherwise he would be annoying.
When he arrived at the door, Shunsuke Hanyu was about to open it when there was a knock on the door.
Why are there so many people knocking on the door today? Hanyu Shunsuke was still a little puzzled, and when he opened the door, he saw—Yukinoshita Haruno.
“Then I’ll take my leave, Mr. Sanming.”
Seeing that Cheng Yi was very discerning, he said goodbye.
After seeing off Jianjiro and welcoming Yukinoshita Haruno, Hanyu Shunsuke found that today was indeed an eventful day.
“Is this a contract?”
When Yukinoshita Haruno walked in, she saw the stack of white paper on the coffee table.
“Advance Intentions for Publishing Contracts.”
“Can I take a look?”
Yukinoshita Haruno is still very careful about this kind of things.
“Okay, by the way, help me check if there are any mistakes in the terms. I remember Yang Nai took a minor in contract law?”
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, picked up the contract and read it carefully.
“No problem, the wording is clear, the responsibilities are clear; but is this contract a little too superior?”
Shunsuke Hanyu repeated to her what had happened before.
She nodded, somewhat understanding.
“Which side do you think is right?”
Shunsuke Hanyu plans to ask for her opinion.
“Ah~ This isn’t important. Just look at who can bring the greatest benefit to Shunsuke-kun.”
Yukinoshita Haruno was a little surprised.
Shunsuke Hanyu felt a little helpless. Different ways of thinking always make people speechless.
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at her smile and expressed his approval.
“For now, we’ll just have to wait. You can tell Kobayashi Hideo that Jian Chengyi has seen you and see how he reacts. As for the channel, you can go through your editor, Machida Yuanzi.”
Yukinoshita Haruno gave him some advice.
“Understood.”
No matter in his past or present life, he had never entered the society and was somewhat inexperienced. Although he had only worked for half a year in this life, he was well protected by Editor-in-Chief Tian Yichun.
“You don’t seem to be very good at this, Shunsuke-kun? If you’re not good at it, I can let you do it.”
She really looks like a couple now.
Shunsuke Hanyu handed the phone to her and watched her operate it.
He first asked Machida about Mishiro Gei, then Machida asked why he asked these questions, and he replied that Mishiro Gei came to visit him.
Shunsuke Hanyu watched the whole process and expressed his amazement.
“Just wait for this matter for now. If there is any follow-up, Shunsuke-kun can discuss it with me. I will still give you some advice.”
“What are you doing here suddenly?”
He asked the main question.
“I’ve been so busy and tired these past few days, but Junjie-kun hasn’t come to see me, or chat with me or anything like that.”
She puffed her cheeks and stared at him angrily.
“As soon as I got here, they asked me what I was doing here! What could I possibly be doing here! To see some unfaithful guy!”
She questioned N Lian.
“Sorry sorry!!”
Shunsuke Hanyu had no choice but to apologize, otherwise he would be described as a scumbag and a criminal by her.
“Hmph~”
Yukinoshita Haruno snorted coldly, crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him with her legs crossed.
Shunsuke Hanyu didn’t know what to do. If he tried to coax her, he would always feel that he had done nothing wrong. If he didn’t coax her, he would feel embarrassed because Yukinoshita Haruno had indeed helped a lot. Moreover, how to coax her was still a problem.
“Yang is here to develop intimacy, right?!”
He quickly jumped into the topic.
“Tsk~ You don’t even want to coax a girl, you scumbag!”
Yukinoshita Haruno gave him a negative blow.
“Hmph~ But you’re right! Shunsuke-kun has always been passive, so I have no choice but to be more active.”
She pursed her lips and continued the conversation.
“A hundred things couples must do?”
“But I think it’s better for you to figure this out yourself. Each of you should do fifty things and lead the other person to do them.”
He felt that this was perfect and reasonable.
“Junjie-kun’s brain works very quickly~”
Yukinoshita Haruno praised.
“The first thing?”
She was thinking.
“Let me do it~ First thing: Cook dinner for my girlfriend and show my boyfriend strength.”
“By the way, I sincerely apologize.”
Chapter 48 Yang No’s Trust (Old Version)
Since his memory was restored, which has been nearly half a decade, Shunsuke Hanyu has only been sorting out his interpersonal relationships and doing some other things on the side.
But in just less than three weeks, he has actually received a lot of stimulation; the shopping trip with Yukinoshita Haruno and the Genfuyusha incident have made Hanyu Shunsuke feel certain needs.
“What do you think about me becoming a great writer?”
Yukinoshita Haruno was lowering her head to enjoy his cooking. When she heard his question, she paused and then replied.
“Don’t you suspect I’m bragging?”
Hanyu laughed.
“I think Shunsuke-kun has this ability.”
Yang Nai just smiled.
In fact, Shunsuke Hanyu has never been very confident. He is considered a middleman and a plagiarist. He can’t remember most of the plots of the classic books he read in his previous life. Only those that are really wonderful or have been used by him are slightly clearer.
If he were to figure out pure creation on his own, he wouldn’t be very confident, so now he is just using the advantage of his memory to accumulate and practice. Every time he writes, every time a work appears, it is an exercise for his ability. He hopes that one day he can write a work with his own ability and ideas that will be popular.
But Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t seem to think so. After just less than a month of contact, her evaluation of him had risen a lot. Although her original evaluation was already very high, she thought he should be a good stock and his personality was also good enough to be used. But now, his talent and thinking have been enhanced, but his personality and way of doing things have changed, making him not very suitable for use in society.
But Yukinoshita Haruno has always known one thing, that is, personality is secondary. As long as a person is not extremely evil, cold-hearted and heartless, some quirks of a talented person will be considered normal.
“This trust is really heavy.”
Hanyu took a bite of his rice and felt a little emotional.
In the second month after his memory recovered, he decided to take the initiative to integrate into this world and see the scenery.
“There is a saying that goes, the person who knows a person best is not himself, but his enemy or friend.”
Yang added an explanation.
“That makes sense.”
Hanyu remained noncommittal.
“Besides, Shunsuke-kun’s cooking skills are pretty good too!! I admit that you’re only slightly worse than me when it comes to Chinese cuisine.”
Yang No gave him a thumbs up. She knew that he was still a little upset about what happened recently in Huandong Club.
But society is like this. Any respect has a source. People who are not strong enough will encounter all kinds of disregard and targeting, and can only survive in the cracks and go with the flow.
If this could become a driving force for his growth, Yukinoshita Haruno felt that she should also thank the people of Gentosha.
However, since the old guy Jiancheng Che is also an old fox, this matter will probably end successfully in the end. But the older the fox is, the more likely he is to make a mistake that he thinks is not a mistake.
“A little is a little.”
Hanyu was a little curious.
After traveling through time, he only cooked twice to get a feel for it. He had lived alone for a long time in both his past and present lives, so his cooking skills were pretty good.
“Just a little bit like this.”
Yang No made a gesture with his thumb and index finger.
The universe between your fingers? Hanyu looked a little strange when he thought of this famous joke.
“I always feel like I should eat something else at this time!”
Yang No always felt something was weird.
Hanyu expressed curiosity.
“Candlelight dinner? Red wine and Western food?”
Yang Nai pondered for a moment.
“But I just want Yang Nuo to taste my cooking skills, it’s not a date! Besides, we are not a couple and don’t need romance. We need the warmth of plain reality.”
Hanyu speaks fluently and is an extraordinary master of theory.
“It seems that what Shunsuke-kun said is right.”
Yang Nai smiled.
“How is Yang No doing at the company?”
Hanyu said with concern.
“Ah~ not good.”
Yang pursed his lips.
“Although my mother has always held the power, it is only natural for me to inherit the family business, but some people are always worried that their interests will be damaged after I inherit, so they try to make things difficult for me.”
She is very unhappy.
“You’re not afraid that I’ll punish you later when I’m in power.”
She muttered something.
Shunsuke Hanyu felt that this was something she could really do.
“About which area?”
Hanyu decided to listen and see if there was anything he could do to help.
“Huh? Shunsuke-kun really cares about me.”
Yang Nao grasped the key point.
“Just a casual question, just a casual question.”
Hanyu was a little embarrassed.
Didn’t he say before that he didn’t care enough and was called a scumbag? But when he showed some concern, he was ridiculed again. It’s really hard to be a man.
“I’m so touched!”
Yang Nai stared into his eyes, trying to convey her feelings with her eyes.
“Shunsuke-kun has finally come to his senses.”
There was a half-smile on her lips.
“After I graduate, won’t there be some time before I report to the monastic program? I feel like I have plenty of time, so when I join the company I plan to follow the projects first, so as to avoid being fooled in the future.”
She began to explain.
“In the end, I got tripped up.”
Yang was speechless.
“It’s not really a stumbling block. I decided to do this after discussing it with my mother. Otherwise, those people would have been complaining behind my back.”
Yang No changed the adjective.
Hanyu never thought that the workplace was easy. Even though Yukinoshita Haruno was the natural inheritor of the family business, it would not be smooth sailing. This is actually quite normal.
After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers. If Yang Nai comes to power and her mother retreats to the second line, Yang Nai will definitely recruit a group of her loyal supporters to fully control the group instead of continuing to use her mother’s people. It is normal to encounter obstacles.
Of course, Yukinoshita Haruno can continue to use those people to gain support, but that would not be very Yukinoshita Haruno.
“In short, I need to do a project on my own now, whether it’s outsourced or the group invests money in a real estate project, as long as there is profit.”
Japan’s construction industry is already in a recession, to the point where a construction company’s profit margin for a contracted project may be only a few percent. Of course, this is not the case for large companies.
“This should be somewhat difficult.”
Hanyu Shunsuke thought about it.
“It’s actually not that bad. If you want to get away with it, you can just go to other small cities in Chiba Prefecture and get a project. But this trial is for my mother and myself, so the standards are relatively high.”
She explained.
Hanyu Shunsuke nodded to show that he understood.
“It may sound a bit empty, but if there is anything you need help with, I will do my best.”
Hanyu Shunsuke originally wanted to say “try your best” but he felt that it didn’t sound right, so he changed the wording.
“Okay~~”
Chapter 49: Yang No Staying Overnight (Old Version)
After dinner, Yukinoshita Haruno took the initiative to clean up the table and kitchen, but was stopped by Hanyu Shunsuke.
“There’s no dishwasher or anything like that here. Even though there are gloves, they’re still pretty hurtful to your hands. Let me do it.”
It’s not that Shunsuke Hanyu has low emotional intelligence. He knows what words to say and what things to do to make women happy. But Yukinoshita Haruno is still an unknown. Her positioning is unclear, so naturally her attitude is unclear.
Yukinoshita Haruno leaned against the wall of the narrow corridor, watching Hanyu Shunsuke clean up the kitchen. Was it her illusion or something else? She always felt that his attitude had changed a little. It shouldn’t be an illusion, her senses were still quite sharp.
She has been trying to tease him all along, because this guy was a reserved and reserved person before, and although he signed the agreement rationally on the surface, he actually liked her a little; but later on, he suddenly became close and distant, which made her very dissatisfied. She always felt that her charm was being ignored, and her curiosity arose.
But now that the goal she had been working towards seemed to have been achieved to some extent, Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t know what to do.
She has a very good advantage, she is good at asking herself questions; for many things, as long as she dares to ask herself and think rationally, she can get the answers and avoid many things, but most people will act emotionally.
Yukinoshita Haruno began to ask herself what her attitude towards Hanyu Shunsuke was.
At the beginning, it was just because their three views were somewhat compatible, and both parties got what they needed. He had good potential, she came from a good family, and she was pretty, so all the conditions matched. To be honest, it is not easy to find a man with a clean background, who is willing to marry into the family, has good potential, a good personality, and is capable. Yukinoshita Haruno has always felt that she is quite lucky.
But I just thought that we were compatible and would be a good partner. Everything else started from the day when he suddenly came to the courtyard of Chiba University and the first sentence he said was “Can the agreement be voided?”
She suddenly became curious about him. Why would a person suddenly change so much? This change made things out of her control, but it also made her feel interesting. So she began to delve deeper and started teasing him.
Yukinoshita Haruno got the answer. She must have developed some feelings for him. Different from the previous appreciation for a good partner, this was a feeling of affection between a man and a woman.
“What are you thinking about?”
His voice woke her from her reverie.
“I didn’t think about anything.”
She smiled and tried to get away with it.
Hanyu Shunsuke rolled his eyes without thinking. He waved his hand in front of her eyes several times but she didn’t respond.
“It’s getting late. I’ll take you back.”
I looked at the time and it was already past eight in the evening. The fastest train, the Sobu Line, would take dozens of minutes to get back.
“Go back? I don’t plan to go back.”
Hanyu gave her a question mark.
“I’ve already come here at night, how can I go back!!!”
She argued as if this was extremely reasonable.
“I won’t go back when I come at night. What kind of logic is that? Don’t take it for granted!”
Hanyu couldn’t help but complain.
“Anyway, this is the first of my fifty things: staying over at my boyfriend’s house and tasting his food.”
Yang No added.
“The first sentence is fine, but what does the second sentence mean?”
Shunsuke Hanyu slowly typed a question mark again.
“Anyway! Just stay the night!”
She summarized.
There was a moment of silence.
Shunsuke Hanyu always felt that she had ulterior motives, and letting a member of the opposite sex stay in his apartment was a big challenge for him.
He thought he was not Liu Xia Hui, and it would be embarrassing if he couldn’t control himself and turned into a moonlit wolf.
“Although I haven’t passed the exam, I have already mastered Aikido.”
Her voice came from the side.
“Do you know what I’m thinking?”
Shunsuke Hanyu couldn’t help but ask.
“I don’t know, but I guess you should be thinking about these things. Even if you are not, it doesn’t matter if I say this, but if I say it right, people will think, ‘Wow, Yang No is really amazing, I want to hug her thighs’!”
She explained in a babble.
It’s a beautiful idea, that’s all Shunsuke Hanyu can comment on.
“Want to take a shower?”
Hanyu didn’t want to continue this topic because he really had the thought that it was worthy of Yukinoshita Haruno to be able to guess this.
“want!”
She nodded.
“I’ll go get you some water.”
Hanyu turned and walked towards the bathroom.
“It’s not as spacious as Yangno’s apartment, so you’ll have to make do with it.”
He said to her behind him.
“It’s okay! I feel warm just thinking that this is what Shunsuke-kun often uses!”
Yang No said something that could be easily misunderstood.
“is that so?”
“No way!”
He asked himself questions and answered them to ease the impact of her words on him.
The difference in quality of life does bring about a great difference in comfort. The bathtub in Yukinoshita Haruno’s apartment is intelligent, with temperature control, adjustment, and massage functions; while Hanyu’s only has the function for lying down.
“Take a shower first. I’ll bring you a bathrobe later.”
He put the hot water in, pointed out the toiletries to her, and then turned and left.
Leaving the bathroom and coming to the bedroom, while looking for his bathrobe, Hanyu suddenly remembered the last time she played a prank on him.
Well, actually, when I didn’t give her the bathrobe in advance, I already had the idea of ​​revenge, and now it’s just getting more and more intense.
Don’t be in a hurry, her bath will take at least forty minutes. Hanyu Shunsuke plans to take a rest before focusing on other things.
What happened at the Gentosha in the afternoon made him feel a little upset. Kobayashi Hideo was definitely not a mediocre person. It was impossible for him to simply mislead Kenjo Ei. He must have other tricks up his sleeve. Hanyu Shunsuke knew that he had been forced to become the center point, and he guessed that these tricks must be related to him.
But he was not worried. The popularity caused by unnatural deaths was already sweeping, and he already had something to rely on. If it really didn’t work out, he could just change the place of serialization. Editor-in-chief Tian Yichun would be very happy about it.
He began to browse forums and Twitter; some people praised him for criticizing social ills, while others mocked him for seeking popularity.
Suddenly, a notification sound from his mobile phone rang, and Shunsuke Hanyu opened the screen and saw:
“If you don’t have a bathrobe, go buy one! Don’t even think about making me wear your clothes!!”
The official panda facial expression from Yukinoshita Haruno.
“、????”
Shunsuke Hanyu slowly typed a row of question marks.
“Hohoho~ The same trick is useless against Yang No! Even if it’s a trick that Yang No has used before!”
Yang No’s reply was quite quick.
Shunsuke Hanyu looked at the ceiling and felt that life was really difficult.
He took out his bathrobe from the closet and went to the bathroom.
When he arrived at the door, Shunsuke Hanyu remembered something. His bathroom bathtub, washbasin and clothes basket were only covered by a curtain, which was drawn.
“Come in if you’re here~”
Yang No’s voice was heard from inside.
Chapter 50 Let’s sleep together~ (Old version)
“Draw the curtains.”
Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t think she would make such a low-level mistake, so he opened the bathroom door and walked in with confidence.
There was no mistake in the estimation. The curtain was functioning properly as a partition and shield in the middle. What was a little unusual was that Yang Noi seemed to be standing behind the curtain, and the light from the heater cast her shadow on the curtain.
“No more bubbles?”
Hanyu asked, he glanced at the curtain and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
“It’s almost time. I was waiting for Shunsuke-kun to bring the bathrobe.”
Yang replied,
“Actually~ even if Shunsuke-kun shamelessly sends your clothes to me, I can’t do anything about it. Shunsuke-kun is just too thin-skinned.”
She began to point.
“I’m going to go out first. You can change your clothes so you don’t get cold.”
Hanyu rolled his eyes which she couldn’t see.
“Just hand it over, hurry up.”
She urged.
??? Hanyu Shunsuke slowly typed a question mark. He found that he often asked questions when facing Yukinoshita Haruno. This guy’s way of thinking was indeed not on the same level as hers sometimes.
He took the bathrobe and walked to the edge of the curtain. In fact, he could already see from the reflection that her figure was indeed curvy, but it seemed clearer when he got closer? He could also smell a faint fragrance.
“Didn’t Yang Nao say that she has no body odor?”
His brain spasmed briefly, and he asked this question without thinking.
“Didn’t I explain this before?”
Yukinoshita Haruno pouted so he couldn’t see it.
“But this scent is not the scent of my shower gel and shampoo.”
Shunsuke Hanyu made a reasonable analysis.
“It’s well marinated.”
Yang Nai rolled her eyes and was speechless.
“Hand me the bathrobe!”
Hanyu Shunsuke handed the bathrobe to her from the bottom of the curtain. Through the lifted curtain, he could see her exposed white calves and a faintly visible white thigh. After being soaked in hot water, her thighs looked healthy and rosy. She looked very delicate to the naked eye. He shook his head to dispel the thought.
“I’m going out.”
He turned and left the bathroom.
Faintly, Shunsuke Hanyu found that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to her.
After waiting for two minutes, she came out of the bathroom, her short hair tied up at the back of her head, looking like a real wife, with rosy cheeks and bright eyes, which seemed to have a faint light.
“Where do I sleep tonight?”
“Sleep in my bed, I sleep on the sofa, or sleep on the floor in the bedroom or living room.”
This is Hanyu’s arrangement, choose one from three.
“I see. Let me blow dry my hair first.”
Yang nodded.
The hair dryer is in the bedroom. Men’s hair is originally short and straight. After washing their hair, they can just wipe it to stop it from dripping. It would be nice to sit on the edge of the bed, blow dry it, and then go to bed.
“Blow-drying your hair?”
Hanyu Shunsuke confirmed.
“Is this the second of the fifty or is it included in the first?”
Yukinoshita Haruno asked him.
“It seems like this is really meaningful.”
Hanyu thought about it and realized that this matter had sufficient significance for both him and Yang No.
“Let’s get started first. We can talk about the classification later. Anyway, there are fifty things to do, so it doesn’t matter if we do a few more.”
He didn’t want to continue looking at her like this, and a fire was rising in his heart.
The bedroom is not too spacious. It only has a wardrobe, a bed and a corridor for walking through. Even so, it still seems inconvenient.
“Where are you sitting?”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t see anything like a desk.
“On the bed.”
Hanyu was determined to move to a new place as soon as possible.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, turned on the hair dryer, and the buzzing sound began to emanate when the switch was pressed.
“I always feel that this is not very convenient!!”
After Yukinoshita Haruno came in, she had been frowning and thinking about something. Now she couldn’t help but speak and take advantage of the topic.
“Then go to the living room?”
Hanyu asked for his opinion, the living room is actually quite spacious.
“No need! It’s right here! And I think simply blowing hair doesn’t have enough meaning for a couple, so I have to add a limited prefix.”
“Shunsuke-kun, don’t move!”
Yang Nai stood up and stretched first.
Hanyu Shunsuke watched her move and look at him, then she came close and turned to sit on his lap.
“Is it better to face each other or face to face? Please choose one, Junsuke-kun.”
Her voice echoed in the bedroom.
Hanyu Shunsuke breathed gently, and a faint fragrance mixed with an unknown but very stimulating smell entered his nose. His earlobes felt a little hot, and he sipped his saliva.
“Is this okay?”
He is not very resistant to physical contact, but he is resistant to physical contact for which he cannot explain the reason.
“Sitting on your boyfriend’s lap while enjoying a blow-drying service! It makes sense, doesn’t it?”
Yang No did not give a direct answer.
“Blow-drying your girlfriend’s hair while she sits on your lap is really meaningful.”
She wasn’t afraid, so what was he afraid of? If he couldn’t help himself, then forget it. At worst, he could just fulfill his husband’s duty and have a wife.
This position was actually not very convenient because they were a little close and it was difficult to use their hands, but Hanyu Shunsuke never mentioned it and just buried his head in working on her hair.
The back of her neck is very white, making people want to lick it, and her earlobes are slightly red, which is very cute. Occasionally, even if she looks back or glances from the side, she is full of charm.
Hanyu Shunsuke has always made a distinction between the two words “amorous” and “coquettish”. Coquettish makes people want to sleep, while amorous makes people want to love.
His heartbeat quickened, and the close contact made him feel a little uncomfortable.
“Would it look better with long hair?”
Yangno suddenly said, waking him up.
“Short hair is more capable, but long hair might be more gentle, right? It depends on your preference.”
Hanyu’s objective evaluation.
“I’m asking, Shunsuke-kun, do you think I’d look better with long hair?”
Yang repeated.
“I haven’t seen it. It’s hard to say based on my imagination.”
Hanyu Shunsuke thought about it and shook his head.
“But I know one thing, a beautiful girl like Yang Noi can look good in any hairstyle, it’s just that they look good in different ways.”
He stroked her hair gently. This was a unique experience for him. Maybe he could use himself as a model when writing about couples in love in the future.
“You really can talk~”
She paused and smiled silently.
The hair is already dry and moisturized, leaving the remaining moisture to dry naturally.
“There shouldn’t be room for the floor here, right?”
She stood up and walked around, looking around the room.
“But it would be embarrassing to let Shunsuke-kun sleep in the living room.”
Yang Noi touched his chin with a hesitant look.
“How about~”
She bent down and pressed her forehead against his, and a patch of whiteness came into his eyes.
“Let’s sleep together~”
Her breath smelled like orchid.
Hanyu was a little stunned.
“Just kidding~ Just kidding, I’ll just sleep on the couch.”
She stood up suddenly, touched her hair and smiled.
Fairy! Shunsuke Hanyu gives his verdict.
