You just waved and smiled, not seeming to care too much.

[Because compared to Inoue Takina, who admits her mistakes, you're more concerned about how to deal with Nishiki Chizuka, who knows she's wrong but deliberately makes mistakes, even dragging others down with her.]

When you questioned her, Nishiki Chizuka readily admitted her mistake and stated that if she succeeded this time, she would do it again next time.

Her carefree attitude makes you frown, and you can't help but reach out and pinch her soft, cute face, pulling it apart.

[And beside the two of you.]

Seeing Chizuka Nishiki's cheerful and playful expression towards you, Takina Inoue's usually cold and aloof face softened slightly.

She leaned against the doorframe, resting her cheek on her hand.

She wants to stay in this simple, happy everyday life with you and Chizuka.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Meanwhile, in reality...

Nanxiang fell silent.

Because looking at this harmonious scene, he always felt that something was wrong.

Logically speaking...

When two girls like the same boy, there will definitely be a fierce battle of wits and affections.

But between Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina.

However, I couldn't feel the romantic battles between girls at all when I was in Nanxiang.

Moreover, it can be described as extremely harmonious.

He felt that the two of them seemed to be accommodating and yielding to each other, unwilling to hurt each other with their actions.

But in this way...

How should things develop from here?

Could it really be that the two of them will get married together?

After confirming once again that this was Chizuka Nishiki's dating simulation, Nango continued to immerse herself in the simulation.

Chapter 102. Things Seem to Be Taking a Wrong Turn (4000 words!)

Your steps have never stopped.

[It's not just for you, it's for them too.]

[A year after obtaining your Master of Arts degree, you poured your heart and soul into creating the popular fiction novel "Crossing," which was published in the renowned popular fiction magazine "Nihon-gun" in Tokyo's literary scene.]

[In your work, you use almost firsthand descriptions to tell the story of a young man from China whose soul transmigrates into the body of a young man in rural Japan.]

The protagonist's narcissism, combined with relatable, humorous, and easy-to-understand descriptions, will make your novel popular among teenagers.

[In the same year, your novel "Crossing Over" was voted "Most Popular Popular Novel of the Time" and won first place in the "Japan Booksellers' Award"! This is enough to show that your novel is a bestseller throughout Japan.]

The renowned Japanese literary magazine *Shincho* praised *Crossing*, saying, "With its humorous and witty writing, it depicts events as if the author personally experienced them. Its boundless imagination and varied writing style demonstrate that the author can easily handle any genre. This is a masterpiece by the new generation of young literary author, hailed as the 'Demon King', Chizuka Takina."

Your fan base has exploded across Japan.

That year, all of your short stories were translated into foreign languages ​​by publishers, and you began to gain international fans.

In just three short years, you have risen to prominence at an unparalleled speed, becoming a shining new star in the Japanese literary world.

Similarly, as these three years have passed...

The two girls who were seventeen years old back then are now twenty years old, graceful and beautiful.

Chizuka had grown her short, golden hair long, tied it up with a ribbon on the side, and always had a playful smile on her lips, making her look even more energetic and cute.

She keeps asking you, "When are you finally going to marry me?"

There was not a trace of blame in his words, only his usual playful banter.

She likes to rest her head on your chest and listen to your heartbeat; only then will this usually lively and cheerful girl, who can never stay still, be willing to quiet down.

As for Inoue Takina, the black-haired girl's appearance and attire remained unchanged; only her shoulder-length hair had grown to waist-length, and her once wisteria-like eyes now exuded a serene beauty.

Only when she looks at you does the calm in her eyes shatter, transforming into tenderness.

During these three years of living together, they have gained a deeper understanding of your lifestyle habits.

Similarly, they understand exactly what you're working so hard for.

Japanese writers enjoy extremely high social status, and the Japanese public's tolerance for national literary figures is absurdly high.

If you can achieve something in this area, perhaps the world will be able to accept the feelings between them and you.

You genuinely wanted them to be happy, which is why you gave up the smooth, stable life you had always desired and threw yourself into the world of literature.

You fought for them. Similarly, Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue never cared about what others thought.

For them, the opinions of others are irrelevant.

They simply followed their hearts and never regretted it; that's enough.

But they also don't want to deny your efforts.

You once asked them during a break why they liked you.

They'll stay close to you and whisper in your ear: There's no particular reason, they just feel happy whenever they think of you.

Yes, liking something may not need a reason at all.

You embraced them tightly, as if you were drowning in this sea of ​​happiness.

The following month, you wrote a novel with a strong modern romanticism style, "The Distant Place and Snow."

The novel, written in the first person, recounts how the protagonist meets two beautiful young women while traveling.

With your delicate, pure, and tenderly clean writing, you depict the beauty of two young girls.

[Your elegant and refined writing style, along with the development of the characters' melancholic and sorrowful state of mind, makes this short story highly valuable in terms of literature.]

[Upon its publication, "The Distant Land and Snow," written under the pen name "Chizuka Takina," quickly caused a huge stir in the Japanese literary world.]

[In the beautiful prose of "Distant Places and Snow," countless readers who were already your fans saw the endless sorrow of unrequited love.]

[The snow has painted the distant horizon white, and she finds refuge in this scene composed of snow and the deep twilight. The scenery and the snow mist merge into the torrent of dusk, depicting a symbolic world that transcends the human realm. Especially when snowflakes fall on her hair, the indescribable beauty makes my heart tremble. — "The Distant Horizon and Snow"]

Looking at these beautifully poignant words, some have repeatedly wondered if this was truly written by a young man of only twenty years old.

Ultimately, however, they abandoned the research and suggested that you submit "The Distant Place and the Snow" to the Akutagawa Prize literary review panel.

[You were naturally prepared for this; submitting your work to the Akutagawa Prize was a done deal.]

Your work, "The Distant Place and Snow," won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's most prestigious literary award, with almost no controversy.

In reality, your academic ability score of 9 is already more than enough; the only thing you lack is the emotional connection you've built up over time.

Their existence provides you with a constant source of genuine emotional connection.

Your main writing style has finally been finalized.

Authors in the Japanese literary circle have begun to refer to you as "Nango-sensei," a renowned modern romantic writer.

At this moment, the name 'Chizuka Takina' truly resonated throughout Japan.

And at this time, you are only twenty-one years old.

[While enjoying widespread fame, countless royalties and fees also poured in.]

Even if you stop writing now, this money will continue to flow, enough for your descendants to use as they wish.

But you didn't do that. Although the Akutagawa Prize is a national literary award in Japan, it's only an award established to encourage new writers.

Your goal goes even further—what you yearn for is the Naoki Prize, a literary award coveted by all popular writers.

After that, you resumed writing, but this time, you didn't submit your work for publication.

You no longer lack cash; writing is simply a way to continuously refine your writing skills.

Similarly, you haven't forgotten to read other people's novels; you're like a sponge, constantly absorbing the nourishment from others and making it your own.

You fell silent, and that silence lasted for a whole year.

[During this year, many 'literary geniuses' also emerged in the literary world, but compared to the title of 'Chizuka Takina' back then, they were still much weaker.]

However, authors who never submit their work will naturally fade into obscurity.

During this period, the pen name 'Chizuka Takina' was still mentioned, but less and less frequently.

Your reluctance to submit your work has led some to believe that you've run out of creative ideas, resulting in a surge of comments about your articles.

Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue were furious about these rumors.

Because they know that you haven't "lost your touch" as they claim; on the contrary, your writing skills have improved even further compared to before.

[Even the novel manuscripts he's written have piled up into a mountain.]

The reason I'm reluctant to submit my work is because I want to further refine my somewhat superficial writing style.

[After a whole year, the ornate style in your writing has been washed away. Although your word choice is no longer as elaborate and refined as before, it gives people a sense of purity and beauty.]

Another month has passed. Gazing at the heavy snow outside the window, you gently kiss Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue's hands, and you snuggle together with them in the snow.

You know, it's time to answer their long-awaited questions.

Similarly, through this year of reflection, you've gradually come to see things more clearly.

[It doesn't matter to you where the path of a writer ultimately leads; your ultimate goal is simply to make them both happy, nothing more.]

[In just one month, under the pen name 'Chizuka Takina,' Nango Toki officially published her full-length novel, 'Waiting for You Beyond.']

After a year of silence, you have long been forgotten by many.

But similarly, there are readers who have been waiting for your novel.

They bought it without hesitation, then were shocked.

[It's no longer the ornate, flowery language of the past, nor the sentimentalism of youth.]

[As if stripped of all artifice, 'Chizuka Takina's' writing offers them only pure, aesthetic enjoyment.]

Your outstanding performance once again left everyone speechless. Your words, seemingly stripped of all artifice, evoked pure beauty in countless readers, who were completely captivated and mesmerized.
