Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 451 A Fake Marriage Contract, A Real Couple? Part 1
Tatsukawa Tetsu returned to his home in Kikucho as the sun was setting.

As dusk approached, a vast expanse of blue enveloped the city.

The small chandelier by the entrance was already lit, making the two characters "Longchuan" look especially lovely.

"Hey, why didn't you turn on the light?"

Long Chuanche was startled when he turned on the light in the entryway. He thought no one was there, but the young lady was sitting in the living room looking at him.

The lights were off, and I wasn't using my phone.

She sat at the table in the living room, coldly watching him.

"what happened?"

Longchuan Che sensed something was off, changed his shoes in the entryway, and walked up to the girl.

"what happened?"

The girl crossed her arms, cradling her cute and pretty face as she looked at the other person with a cool and indifferent expression.

"I remember you were told to come back earlier, right?"

Longchuan Che parted ways with the other party at ten o'clock in the morning. In summer, the sky darkens slowly, and it is now around seven o'clock.

He felt like he was being scolded by his wife for going out and fooling around.

Long Chuanche touched his neck.

"This kind of thing."

The boy chuckled awkwardly, assuming the other person was joking.

The way the newlywed wife said "Come home early" sounds like something the young lady would say to spite Takeda Maki.

Long Chuanche took a deep breath as he saw the girl sitting at the table and chairs, and then said in a lukewarm tone.

"Go take a shower, the water's ready for you."

He was angry, and it was obvious.

Teacher Longchuan was a little confused.

I went upstairs to my bedroom, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and then went downstairs.

When Long Chuan Che opened the living room's French windows, the young lady had already set dinner on the table.

"So you made the meal, and you're angry because I didn't come back to eat?"

Dinner was the same sukiyaki we had last night.

Radishes, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu were simmering in miso soup, with several servings of Wagyu beef and a few side dishes placed on the side.

The side dishes were beautifully prepared, but they're cold now.

"Some of them."

The young lady picked up a mouthful of rice, her face and mouth clearly saying, "I don't want to talk to you right now."

Having been rebuffed, Teacher Longchuan clicked his tongue and remained silent.

He felt that the young lady sometimes had a strong aura, and her stern face was a bit intimidating.

Have you had any plans to publish a book recently?

While picking up his rice and shoveling it in his mouth, Longchuan Che picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu with his chopsticks.

The young lady can cook Chinese food?

Teacher Longchuan was a little surprised.

"Why do you ask this?"

Compared to the boys' ravenous eating, the girls picked up their chopsticks and ate in small bites.

She mostly ate foods like radish and tofu, and occasionally, when she was familiar with beef, she would pick some for Ryukawa Tetsu.

"I'll do it today."

Long Chuanche recounted the events of the day while eating hotpot.

The girl didn't speak at first, then glanced at Long Chuanche and gave a cold smile.

"So you want me to sign with your publishing house and publish my books there?"

everyone.

Please don't forget that Ms. Natsuko Imamura is also a famous novelist.

"The Woman in the Purple Dress", "Only the Cat Knows", "After School", "Thirteen Nights", "Pale Hills in the Distance".

The girl holds a ton of copyrights.

Especially the movie "Only Cats Know".

"If I remember correctly, this novel was the most popular mystery novel in the first half of the year?"

Long Chuanche asked with a strong sense of unease.

"So what?"

The young lady looked at the fearless Long Chuan Che.

"Then you should sign a contract with me!"

Teacher Longchuan slammed his hand on the table, and his status as a company partner changed very quickly.

TRT is just starting out, and it needs authors like Natsuko Imamura who can make money.

Japanese literature is divided into pure literature and popular literature.

Popular literature accounts for 90% of the market share.

Mystery novel, romance story.

Creators like Miss, who have won the Edogawa Rampo Award, are highly sought after. "I won't sign."

The young lady took a bite of rice and refused outright.

"why?"

Long Chuanche was stunned for a moment, before he could even offer the tempting terms he was about to give.

"tentatively."

The girl rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment.

"I guess it's because I'm not short of money."

The girl gave a pretty smile, but one that the poor guy absolutely hated.

Eat the dinner prepared by the other party completely.

While I was resting on the sofa in the living room, the young lady brought me some fruit again.

"You're so kind, I don't know how to repay you."

Longchuan Che said with a sigh.

Perhaps it was her ability to see into people's hearts that allowed the young lady to know what Longchuan Che needed.

The refreshing fruits are especially sweet at this moment.

"Just stop making me angry a few times."

The young lady rolled her eyes, and Long Chuanche still didn't know why the other party was so angry.

"Isn't speaking frankly our way of getting along?"

Leaning back on the sofa and eating sliced ​​fruit, the refreshing taste of watermelon is a welcome relief from the summer heat.

At this moment, the small house with the Longchuan Che sign hanging on it truly seemed to have become their home.

The woman seemed a little upset.

Longchuan Che patiently asked a question.

Take a deep breath, and another deep breath.

The young lady walked up to Long Chuanche.

"what is this?"

The girl pointed to the boy's chest, her voice filled with an icy chill that seemed about to fall.

"here?"

Long Chuanche stood up and glanced at the glass in the night.

There was a bright red hickey where the young lady was pointing.

The hickey remained on his collarbone, which looked somewhat provocative due to the boy's open collar.

"Oh, you're jealous?"

Ryukawa Tetsu said it in a rather relaxed tone, but he felt that the young lady probably wouldn't.

as predicted.

"I'll eat your head."

The young lady sneered mercilessly.

"Then why are you angry?"

Long Chuanche clicked his tongue, not understanding why the woman was angry.

Because you got home late? Because you didn't get to eat the meal she cooked?
Longchuan Che felt that these were all minor matters.

"who am I?"

The girl suddenly pointed to herself and asked.

"Im...Imamura Natsuko?" Ryukawa Tetsu answered hesitantly.

"Who are you?" the girl continued to ask.

“Long Chuanche!” the boy said with certainty.

"Keep your voice down," the young lady glared at the boy before continuing to ask.

"What is our relationship now?"

"Wha, what?"

Long Chuanche was truly dumbfounded this time; he had no idea what the other party wanted to say.

"Husband and wife, engaged couple!" The girl stared intently at Long Chuanche, as if to say, even if it's fake, shouldn't you be a little more careful?

"I don't care how many lovers you have outside, but shouldn't you keep yourself clean?"

"I won't say anything about what happened outside today, but you should be able to come back early, right?"

"In front of outsiders, we are an engaged couple. Shouldn't you also maintain some dignity for me?"

The young lady said she didn't say anything, but she said a lot.

She said it would be bad if he walked with Maki Takeda outside the Ministry of Education today and was seen by someone with ulterior motives.

Longchuan Che thought the other party was right.

But looking at the girl's serious and earnest little face...

He felt something was off.
