In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

Yang Nai did not deny it: "There are some, but I am really flattered. I thought you would give me some practical, positive and more ambitious goals, but I was wrong. Of course, your existence is not normal, so I can't use the same way I would look at a normal person to guess your thoughts."

Yuan Qianye pondered for a moment: "Are you saying this is a compliment?"

Yang Nai responded with an ambiguous smile: "Guess for yourself~"

Yuan Qianye took it as a tacit agreement, but still felt it necessary to explain some things to herself: "Regarding the goal of liking you and wanting to be with you forever, I don't agree with your view. I still think it's quite pragmatic, positive, and ambitious."

"So all along, you've been working towards this goal, constantly striving to become better and better?"

“That’s right.” Yuan Qianye listed them one by one, revealing his truest feelings to Yukino: “Being good at studying and helping those in need not only brings me self-satisfaction, but also because I know that Yukino will agree with and like me as I am.”

In junior high school, a special event occurred, and by chance, I fell in love with Saeko at first sight. In order to have the opportunity to spend time with her, I joined the kendo club and began to learn kendo. As we got closer, I learned that she liked men stronger than herself from the bottom of her heart, and I devoted a lot of energy to becoming stronger in this field.

Later, I met Shiyu and realized my feelings for Toka. Realizing that I loved them both and couldn't easily let go of any one of them, I started trying my hand at creative writing. I discovered that society naturally has a higher tolerance for those with exceptional talent.

After hearing this, Yang Nai couldn't hold back any longer: "So those award-winning novels of yours, which became bestsellers after publication and were hailed by a large number of readers as must-read masterpieces, were products born from your desire to possess them?"

"I hadn't specifically thought about this kind of question, but after your reminder, it's true. All the efforts I'm making now are so that I can be with you all better in the future." Yuan Qianye suddenly realized this and smiled happily: "I suddenly realized, would you say I'm a bit of a love-struck person?"

"..."

You're such a fool!

Yang really wanted to pinch this guy's skin to see how thick it was.

How dare you call yourself a womanizer to this extent!

He's undoubtedly a scumbag in terms of his behavior, but after hearing his sincere and heartfelt response, I just can't bring myself to hate him.

Is it because she has already accepted him both emotionally and physically?

No, I'm not that shallow.

Let's sort it out carefully.

Although his ideas were quite despicable, he was at least responsible when it came to relationships. He didn't just think about satisfying his own lust and then running away; he genuinely wanted a future with the girl he liked and was seriously building it up...

Although fickle, he is deeply affectionate...

Strange, why can these two words with completely opposite meanings appear in his name at the same time?

For some reason, Yang Nai suddenly felt a little powerless: "I suddenly feel that I still know too little about you. It's like I just met you today."

Gen Chiya chuckled: "That's really how it is between me and my sister. Although we've known each other for a long time, we haven't had many opportunities to spend time together. Before the night the ball ended, I only ever saw you as Yukino's sister. Compared to the gradual process of getting closer to other people, it seems like the opposite is true for us. Do you know what that means, sister?"

Yang raised an eyebrow knowingly: "Does that mean we should get closer in the future and see each other more often like we do now?"

Yuan Qianye gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my older sister, we are of one mind!"

"Alright, that's enough."

Why did the topic veer off to this extent?

Reflecting on her mistake, Yang Nai got up, went to her desk, picked up a folder, and handed it to Yuan Qianye.

"what is this?"

"We'll see when we get there." Yang Nai leaned back on the sofa, holding a cup, her face calm.

Yuan Qianye opened the folder as instructed, but suddenly froze.

What comes into view are lines of elegant and delicate handwriting, containing a wealth of information.

Yang Nai just explained that he had asked him to come today to talk about his future career development, and he was not joking.

She was serious and had prepared for it well in advance.

She had been thinking about it seriously for the past few days, and last night she started writing and stayed up late. Today, she even used her class time at school to write until her hand was sore, and finally she managed to put it into detail.

This content not only integrates the resources and advantages that Yuan Qianye currently possesses, but also uses this as a basis to plan his future, covering clear development paths and strategic directions for three different periods: short, medium, and long, outlining a well-defined path forward for him.

Interspersed throughout were many delicate and unique suggestions from her own perspective.

Many possibilities that even Chiyo herself had never deeply considered, or had only vaguely thought about, were now presented to her in such a systematic and clear way.

For example, his considerations regarding further education after graduating from high school went beyond just the list of prestigious schools; he also analyzed the potential impact of different schools on his future development.

How should small studios upgrade their operations at this stage, ensuring their loyalty and building their own core team?

Regarding the transformation of creative modes, considering the issue of efficiency, we should shift from solitary individual writing and publishing to team-based assistance, and carry out more efficient and systematic IP development of cultural products.

In the more distant future, he can certainly continue to exert his efforts in other fields, actively appearing in the public eye. Once his fame reaches a certain level, he can also leverage his personal influence to establish his own brand company...

There are countless similar comments and suggestions.

Yuan Qianye slowly flipped through it for ten minutes.

During this time, Yang Nai quietly stayed by his side and waited for ten minutes.

As Yuan Qianye silently closed the folder, she spoke again: "I just put together a reference for you based on my own limited understanding. I hope you don't think I'm being nosy."

“How could I complain about it being a lot of work? This is extremely important to me.” Yuan Qianye solemnly took the folder in his hand: “This is a future blueprint tailored to my personal circumstances. You must have put a lot of effort into writing this, sister.”

"I wouldn't call it a labor of love; it's just a record of some of my thoughts. But based on our previous conversations, I feel that you might not find these suggestions very useful, since you don't seem to care much about these things. Compared to success in your career, you are clearly more concerned about gains and losses in your relationships."

"It's true that I value relationships more, but career success is equally important. Anyway, thank you so much for thinking so much about me. I have a suggestion."

Yuan Qianye opened the first page of the folder, pointed to a line of text in the middle, and said, "Sister, in my personal short-term plan, you specifically mentioned that my most urgent task right now is to find someone who is good enough and trustworthy to help me share the work with Sister Meidai. I have an idea about this. How about you help me, sister?"

Yang Nai wasn't surprised that he would make such a suggestion. She smiled gently and said, "Have you considered what will happen to my work?"

"With your excellent skills, my sister should have no problem taking on multiple roles, and I shouldn't have too much workload in the short term."

"I don't really care about the workload, and I do have some spare time right now. But there's another problem: if I really do what you say, how do you plan to explain it to my parents and Yukino?"

"..."

Oh yeah... I'd completely forgotten about that.

She and her younger sister were childhood sweethearts, but suddenly she became very close to her older sister.

Anyone who isn't blind can sense the unnaturalness in the development of this relationship.

Yang Nai revealed her long-held idea: "I do have an ideal candidate here. Although she doesn't have any specific professional experience, she received the same strict elite education from her mother since childhood as I did, and later studied abroad. Her vision and abilities have been honed to a very solid level. Overall, although she is still immature at this stage, her future potential is huge. For you, whose career is just starting out, she is a perfect match. You can accompany each other, gradually work together, and grow together."

Chapter 094: Go and handle Yukino

"Sister, why don't you just say Yukino's name?"

After all, the implication of these words couldn't be clearer: the only person around Minamoto Chiyo who fits the criteria she mentioned is Yukino.

However, Yang Nai's special conversation with him today did indeed serve as a reminder.

The main goal he set a while ago was to get this older woman, who was a bit awkward in relationships, to face herself and stop running away, and now it has been completely achieved.

They were physically close again, and emotionally, she completely sided with him, her body and soul firmly won over.

The blueprint for their future, which she had specially tailored for him, is the most direct proof of that.

If you don't like or care about something, who would do something so thankless and exhausting?

Now that this goal has been achieved and Yuan Qianye has relieved himself of a burden, it is natural for him to return to the main storyline he set at the beginning.

"I didn't mean to specifically recommend Yukino, I'm just giving the best candidate based on your current situation."

Haruno gracefully raised her finger, appearing fair and objective, as if she were acting in his best interests, and explained to Minamoto Chiya the advantages of choosing Yukino one by one.

"Firstly, you two have been childhood sweethearts and know each other very well, so you don't need to worry about her character."

Secondly, as you know, Yukino is very earnest. If you can persuade her to help, she will offer all the help she can without reservation.

Thirdly, there's the issue of distance. You're in the same school, even the same club, so you have countless opportunities to spend time together. If she could assist you, the efficiency would be incredibly high.

Fourth, Yukino has loved reading since she was very young. Perhaps she doesn't have the same creative talent as you, but she still has basic appreciation and literary literacy. Just like professional writers in the market today have a professional editing team to assist in their creation, and manga artists have assistants to help with outlining, coloring, and blacking out, she can wholeheartedly help you, and your daily creative pressure can be reduced a lot.

Fifthly…

"Alright, sister, I'll try to invite her to help later." Seeing that Yang Nai had already raised her fifth finger and one hand was almost not enough, Yuan Qianye quickly interrupted her, otherwise she felt that Yang Nai would keep talking like this indefinitely.

"I'm glad you understand. By the way, I'd like to add that I have no ulterior motives. I'm just giving you advice that you need most at this stage, from your perspective." Yang Nai emphasized with a smile.

"Yes, of course I believe it."

But such sentiments must still be mixed with some of her own selfish motives.

However, there's no need to specifically mention this point.

Yuan Qianye had a question. He raised the folder in his hand: "From your perspective, sister, at this stage you value my achievements in the creative field more, right?"

“Of course.” Yang Nai answered without hesitation: “Literature has never been just a combination of words. It is spiritual nourishment for people and has the power to penetrate time and reach people’s hearts. A good work can often leave a mark on other people’s lives and even influence their thinking and reshape their way of seeing the world.”

Yuan Qianye smiled and said, "Why do I suddenly feel a bit pressured by what you've said?"

Yang Nai's gaze softened: "Admittedly, the influence of your current works is not yet great enough to be compared with those world-renowned literary giants, but after reading your novels, I am willing to believe in all your talent and ability. If you put your heart into it, you will shine even brighter sooner or later."

After saying this, she quickly changed the subject: "Of course, I was just stating the facts about the advantages of literature, and I didn't mean to belittle your achievements in other fields. There are countless paths in life, and all of them lead to Rome. Whether it's kendo or piano, no matter what field you're in, as long as you can eventually stand at the top, it will be a life to be proud of, and you may even leave your mark on history. So, in the end, how you plan your life is up to you to make a careful decision."

Yuan Qianye took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled: "What my sister said today has benefited me greatly, and I also understand that I should seize every second and not waste any more time at this stage."

From the very beginning, he was determined to work hard for the women around him, and he has indeed been doing so all this time.

But how to put it, there was indeed a lot of free time during that period, and no pressing pressure, so he never felt any sense of urgency.

But today, Yang Nai's blueprint for his future, which even extends to more than a decade into the future, made him clearly realize that the passage of time can happen in an instant.

Youth fades quickly, and beauty withers easily.

He, a grown man, didn't care about this, but for the women around him, he still wanted to give them the best he could during their prime years.

"There's no need to be so anxious. You're only in high school now, you have plenty of time. The reason I'm talking to you about this today is just so you can have a clear understanding of it in advance, instead of being overwhelmed by this plan and rushing to complete all the goals in the near future, which is not very realistic."

"oh, I understand now."

Yuan Qianye only verbally agreed, but he had already decided in his heart that he would have to work harder to improve himself and enhance his strength in all aspects in the future.

Given his current achievements, if he were only devoted to one of the girls around him, he could rush to the home of any one of them, kneel before her parents, and beg them to give her to him without any resistance.

They might even receive their blessings, leading to an engagement party, and then there's a high probability that they'll register their marriage as soon as they reach the legal age.

But the problem is that what he wants goes far beyond that. If his in-laws find out about his desire to achieve the goal of "everyone is my wings," he will most likely lose all their goodwill and it will become the biggest obstacle in their relationship in the future.

Aside from Yoko Touma, this mother, who had a wealth of personal emotional experiences in her youth, is an exception.

Knowing that Yuan Qianye was a womanizer, although she was initially a little bothered, she quickly allowed her daughter to continue to interact with him naturally. She even took care of him in various daily matters. Yuan Qianye could never figure out her true intentions.

But none of that matters anymore.
