Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 399 I won't let her down [2K4]

In fact, after receiving the email from Watanabe Yu, Ichiro Kitano was not in a hurry to read it.

Firstly, the email is in the mailbox, it doesn't matter if it arrives earlier or later, it won't disappear. Secondly, he still has other work to deal with, and things have to be completed one by one.

Therefore, by the time he finally finished his work and returned home to open the email and download the attachment to his desktop, it was already nine forty in the evening.

"Maybe you can finish it in half an hour?"

Glancing at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, he muttered to himself, clicked on the document, and then couldn't help yawning.

Come to think of it, the last time I reviewed a manuscript at this point was half a year ago.

If he remembered correctly, what he watched that time was... "Norwegian Wood". He had originally planned to go to sleep after watching one-third of it, but he became more and more addicted and interested in the movie the more he watched it. When he came to his senses, it was already four o'clock in the morning of the next day.

But this time we shouldn't make the same mistake again.

After all, there are only more than 10,000 words in total.

According to his usual speed, it would probably take less than twenty minutes.

However, considering Watanabe's writing style and his writing habits, he must have slowed down his reading speed appropriately, so rounding it off, it might be only about half an hour.

Hi.

Why think so much! This is Mr. Watanabe's new book, just read it.

After teasing himself in his heart, Beichen Ichiro patted his cheek lightly and focused his attention on the text in the document.

[After leaving Kintetsu Fuse Station, head west along the railway track. It's already October, but the weather is still hot and the ground is dry. Every time a truck speeds by, the dust it raises is likely to make you frown and rub your eyes.]

[Junzo Sasagaki's steps were not brisk. He didn't have to go to work today. He hadn't had a day off in a long time, and thought he could read some books leisurely today. For today, he specially left Matsumoto Seicho's new book unread.]

Looking at the first two paragraphs, Beichen Ichiro couldn't help but frowned.

It's not that he was dissatisfied with the text, but he had a strong premonition
——This time, his "confrontation" with Watanabe will probably end with his concession.

However, can Watanabe really do it this time?

He withdrew his gaze suspiciously and continued reading.

Theoretically speaking, after an author has achieved success in a certain type of subject matter, he or she must want to find his or her core competitive advantage and then plan a new book based on this.

In simple terms, it means finding your comfort zone, then summarizing and perfecting the style of play that you are best at, and then using this style of play as a benchmark to either expand outward into new themes, or delve into themes that are a natural match for it.

This way, the probability that his next book will not flop will be much higher.

But, this is only in theory.

In fact, even if you have made corresponding preparations, analyzed the reasons for the success of your previous book, and used it as a template for inference, you will still fail if you rashly change the subject matter.

You can't let an author whose previous book was about youth growth go straight into science fiction and fly into the universe in the next book, right?
Not to mention whether readers can accept it, even the author himself may find it difficult to adapt.

However, specific issues still need to be analyzed specifically.

Considering the fan base that Watanabe has accumulated from his first two books, even if he hastily changes to a new subject this time, as long as he can perform steadily, there will still be many readers willing to pay for it.

I hope he doesn't act on impulse.

Beichen Ichiro shook his head and continued to read the first draft of "White Night Walk".

Watanabe's house, in Watanabe Yu's bedroom.

"Aren't you worried at all that your request will be rejected?"

Ryoko Hamabe, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, turned around and winked at Watanabe Yu.

If you put yourself in her shoes, she would be worried.

First of all, although You has a good relationship with President Beichen, and because of Ayana, the two sides can be said to have a very close relationship, but this time there are many issues involved.

This includes but is not limited to the number of fans accumulated by the pen name 'Watanabe', as well as Akiba Books' advertising campaign using 'Watanabe' as a model. If this goes wrong, there will definitely be big problems.

Not to mention those people who hate You, just the disappointment of the book fans is enough to make people breathless.

"do not worry."

Watanabe Yuu wiped his wet hair and gave a very simple answer. He had just come out of the shower.

It must be said that he really prefers taking a shower with the hot water filled up to the top rather than taking a bath.

"Generally speaking, the more you get, the more timid you become." Hamabe Ryoko stood up and sat next to him, then snatched the towel from his hand, "I'm afraid that if I make a mistake, I'll lose everything.

“Fear of bringing about a bad influence, fear of losing everything you have now, in a word, fear of losing everything you have now. If you think about it carefully, the bravest time is when you have nothing.

"So, now that you're an adult, can you please not be so hasty when brushing your hair? Be a little more gentle. I'm scared just by looking at that intensity."

She chattered while gently wiping his hair.

His impetuous actions just now made her feel uncomfortable. If her aunt were here, she would definitely blame him.

"I'm sorry, Ryoko-sama~"

Watanabe Yu chose to surrender without any spine.

"It would be nice if you were usually so obedient."

Hamabe Ryoko rolled her eyes at him and used more strength in her hands. When the latter pretended to grin, she stopped and continued to wipe his hair gently, massaging it at the same time.

"Forgive me for refusing."

"You have to promise me something at this time!"

"Hehe, the Frost Trolls have their own persistence!"

"Oh, how's the strength?"

She used her bare fingers to massage his Fengchi acupoint in a regular pattern.

"Just right."

"Humph."

She snorted softly, and the warm breath from her nose hit his head, making him feel a little itchy.

"Regarding the possibility of being rejected, I have thought about it from the beginning. I don't care about it. Or, if I am rejected, I will think of other ways. I can't worry about this and not be able to eat, right?"

Watanabe Yu paused, then continued, "But then again, based on my understanding of Uncle Beichen, as long as he is willing to read the manuscript, the possibility of him refusing is quite small."

Of course, if he refused, there was nothing he could do.

The most difficult thing in the world is to change people's minds. Although it is true that he is a time traveler, he is not arrogant enough to make everyone think the same as him.

Without saying too much, if he really had this kind of ability, why would he bother plagiarizing? He could just travel around the world and create a harmonious world.

"Anyway, just keep it in mind. Besides..."

Ryoko Hamabe patiently wiped the last bit of hair that was not dried yet, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Ok?"

"How about we not go back this summer? I've seen your grandma over video, and she's in pretty good spirits now, and... you haven't fulfilled Aunt Shangzi's request yet."

She pursed her thin lips and finally made up her mind to say this.

To be honest, she really wanted to go back and take a look.

But with You's personality, if she said she wanted to go back and take a look, he would definitely go with her. But the problem is that he has not yet completed Aunt Shangzi's test. If he wants to take care of both, he will end up not being able to take care of either.

She didn't want to embarrass him.

"Let's wait and see. There are still three and a half days left before the original plan. What if an opportunity suddenly arises? Right?" Watanabe Yu paused, "And I've already told my grandma that I'm going to visit her.

"Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, let's go to the shopping street and see if there are any souvenirs we can bring. It's best if they are practical. Of course, the most important thing is that grandma likes it! It's more important than anything else that she likes it.

"As for the 'task' given by Aunt Shangzi, we can just coordinate the time temporarily when the time comes."

Anyway, it’s just one sentence.

He would not, and did not want to, disappoint this considerate girl.
