Tokyo Love Story

"so?"

Kitagawa Che waited patiently for Ejima Tadashi to continue.

"A patient girl will choose to wait, while an impatient girl will..."

Ejima Myo stretched out her tone, a sly look flashing across her eyes.

She stood on tiptoe and pressed her tender red lips against his.

The soft touch made Kitagawa Che's thoughts stop for half a second.

Three and a third minutes later, Ejima Ta took a step back on her own initiative.

She raised her head and looked at Beichuan Che's eyes, which were so soft that they seemed to be able to drip water.

"Like me~"

She blinked and gently touched her cherry lips with her slender fingers.

Whether it was Kitazono Masahiro or Kitazono Risa, they both told her that she could stay by his side as a close attendant, or even better.

So, since Miss Rinone has taken such a proactive approach, I can't just lag behind her.

It is her duty to restore the glory of the attendant!

Thanks to teachers Wu Yu Wu Qing, Pig with a Hairpin, and Oyster Oyster Fantasy Mo for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 161 Choice

The next day, at 9:40 a.m., in the Magic Cafe, in the window booth,

With fatigue all over his face, Kaoru Shenye picked up the bitter coffee in front of him, took a sip, and then rubbed his nose.

I don't know if it was Beichuan Che who brought her good luck, but after "Hear the Wind Sing" became officially popular, some of her small authors who were originally not very popular also began to improve.

As their editor-in-charge, she was naturally happy, but her workload inevitably increased.

During this month, she hadn't had a good night's sleep, let alone a vacation. The high-intensity work made her tense and exhausted.

It is no exaggeration to say that after completing her last appointment this morning, she could sleep until sunset in this booth.

"Didn't you get enough rest?"

Beichuan Che raised his eyebrows, and there was a little more worry in his eyes.

In his opinion, the Kazuo Kamino in front of him was just about to yawn or fall asleep on the table.

Her exhaustion was already visible to the naked eye.

"I haven't had a good rest during this period." Shen Ye Xun gave Beichuan Che an apologetic look and apologized sincerely, "Sorry."

"Editor Shen Ye, why don't you take a break first?" Beichuan Che took out his phone and checked the time. "It's just 9:42 now. We can rest until 10:30 and then we can start talking again."

He had nothing to do this morning.

As for going home for lunch, you can still make it in time if you leave from here at 11:30.

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary." Shen Ye Xun took a few deep breaths and patted her cheeks gently with both hands. The pain made her mental state a little better. "Well, let's get down to business."

"Okay." Seeing that she was so insistent, Beichuan Che didn't know what to say and could only nod.

"Well, first of all, let's look at the manuscript this time." Kaoru Shinno unzipped the briefcase she was carrying, took out the manuscript that she had printed out and bound into a collection, and placed it on the table. "Compared to the last manuscript of "Hear the Wind Sing", this manuscript is even better."

"As your editor-in-charge, I am very happy, but also very frustrated." Kaoru Shinno shook his head with a subtle look. "I am happy that I can be the first reader to read this complete manuscript, but I am frustrated that as a professional in the industry, I cannot give any effective suggestions."

Because... this book "Norwegian Wood" is good enough.

In his heart, Kaoru Kamino silently added this sentence.

She really experienced a very strong sense of frustration in Beichuan Che's body.

It is obvious that this young man is a new author who has just started out, but what he wrote is incredibly sophisticated.

Whether it is the choice of words or the overall structure, it is comfortable to read.

As a reader, encountering such a novel is undoubtedly a happy thing, but as an editor, she really has mixed feelings.

There is a kind of empty feeling that "my author is too good and I feel like he doesn't need me".

"Editor Shen Ye, you are too kind. As a new author, there are still many things I don't understand."

Beichuan Che laughed.

During the process of writing "Norwegian Wood", his writing level had already crossed the threshold of lv.7 and reached lv.8.

He himself could feel the sudden enlightenment that came with improving his writing skills.

From seeing mountains as not mountains and water as not water, we have returned to the original starting point, where mountains are still mountains and water is still water.

"It's not good to be too modest." Shen Ye Xun shook her head, but her mood improved a little. She coughed lightly and took out the contract from her briefcase. "This time, the share can be higher than the last time."

"Has President Bai Yuan also read this manuscript?"

Beichuan Che asked subconsciously.

"Yes."

Kaoru Shinno nodded.

She still remembers the tone of her president on the phone. He was even more excited than her, the editor-in-chief, just like a crazy fan of a star.

"What does he mean?"

Beichuan Che straightened his expression and asked tentatively.

. "Kannao Xun handed the contract to Kitagawa Che, "The specific details are written in it, you can take a look."

"it is good."

Beichuan Che took the contract and read it carefully.

Generally speaking, this standard contract is not much different from those he signed before. The only difference is in the accompanying letter of intent.

The general content is similar to the letter of intent he signed before.

However, this time, the specific details became the priority consideration when adapting the copyright.

In other words, if the film is to be adapted, priority should be given to the Kashiwagawa Library. Of course, if the two parties fail to reach an agreement in the end, it doesn't matter.

"What if I'm not going to sign this?"

Kitagawa Che raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Ye Xun in front of him.

There was nothing wrong with the letter of intent itself, he was just a little curious.

"It's nothing." Kaoru Shinno shrugged. "The president means that if you are willing, you can sign it. If you are not willing, you don't have to sign it. It's no big deal. It won't affect this contract."

When it comes to the issue of Kitagawa Che, the impression President Baiyuan gave her was one of tolerance.

He gave Kitagawa Che a considerable degree of freedom.

According to what the president conveyed on the phone, we only need to stabilize the basic situation, that is, to publish and sell this book "Norwegian Wood" from Kashiwagenchuan Library. As for the rest, it doesn't matter if it happens or not.

"Well, Mr. Kitagawa, please use the pen."

Kaoru Kamino held the pen in both hands and handed it over.

"Thank you." Beichuan Che nodded, took the pen, and wrote his name where the signature should be.

To his shame, he had become accustomed to such respectful behavior of Kamiya Kaoru and gave up trying to persuade him.

——Because it’s impossible to persuade them.

"Then there is another thing." Kaoru Kamino paused, his face gradually becoming ruddy, "Congratulations to Mr. Kitagawa for winning the Naoki Award this time."

"Oh, OK." Beichuan Che nodded calmly, and then asked another question, "Do I have to go in person to receive the award?"

"As for this...if nothing unexpected happens, yes." Shen Ye Xun was stunned for half a second. After she came to her senses, she thought about it and explained, "If it is really inconvenient for you to come in person, you can also ask the staff of the publishing house to pick it up on your behalf, or make another appointment and pick it up privately."

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

Beichuan Che lowered his eyebrows without thinking. He didn't want to lose his peaceful daily life so quickly.

"Of course you can, but..." Shen Ye Xun looked at Beichuan Che in front of him with some doubt, and kindly reminded him, "This is a good opportunity to become famous."

"I know." Beichuan Che nodded, then shook his head, "So, please forgive my willfulness."

Well, if that is your choice."

Kaoru Kamiya nodded, agreeing to the matter.

To her, it was nothing.

I would like to thank Leng Yue, Shi Yun Hai, Shi Jian Liu Jiu 99, Mou Ye Zun Yan and other teachers for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 162 It takes time

The dazzling morning sun rays passed through the tall buildings in the city and fell on the ground.

Refraction from the reflective glass on the outer edge of the building, the dazzling white light made people squint instinctively.

Coming out of the Magic Cafe, Beichuan Che stretched lazily.

He raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the busy street.

It seems that because it is approaching the end of summer vacation, there are many young people who plan to make memories at this late summer time. In the crowd, whispers of discussions are heard one after another. In the distance, the fashion store is playing popular songs, and the pleasant melody floats in the street.

Amid the surging crowds, the prosperity and bustle of the modern city can be seen.

Shaking his head, Beichuan Che withdrew his gaze, took a step forward, and walked towards the subway station.

The best thing for him would be to solve the publishing problem of "Norwegian Wood" before school starts in September.

——At least there was one less thing he had to do.

As for the Naoki Prize, if it was half a year ago, he might have cared more about it. But now, his thoughts have changed drastically. It is good to win the Naoki Prize, but that's it.

"Che?"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded somewhat surprised but more like joy pulled Kitagawa Che's thoughts back to reality.

Yukisa Morishima, who was holding a plastic bag with the cake shop logo printed on it, stopped and looked at him with joy on her face.

She has never been very interested in going out shopping.

The reason I went out during the day today was just to buy the Black Forest cake which can only be bought in the store and requires queuing.

"Xuesha?" Beichuan Che was stunned for a moment. After seeing the familiar figure, he smiled and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"I bought some cakes." Yukisa Morishima raised the bag in her hand slightly and showed it to Che Kitagawa.

"It's rare to see you go out." Beichuan Che smiled and took the initiative to walk to her side. After keeping a polite distance between friends, he naturally opened the conversation, "Do you plan to go home next, or continue shopping?"

"go home."

Yukisa Morishima gave a concise answer.

"It just so happens that we're on the way." Beichuan Che took a look at her bag, estimated the weight of the thick plastic bag, and asked, "Do you need my help carrying it?"

"I'm not that fragile." Morishima Yukisa shook her head and moved the hand holding the bag from her left hand to her right hand so as not to squeeze Kitagawa Che.

The two of them started walking again, chatting casually.

"Come to think of it, your dark circles seem to have completely disappeared?" Beichuan Che turned sideways to peek at Morishima Yukisa's profile. The girl's complexion was much better than before the summer vacation. "She looks a lot healthier."

Talking about this, Yukisa Morishima straightened her small nose calmly and said, "After all, my work and rest schedule has been adjusted."

"Is it early to bed and early to rise now?"

Beichuan Che cooperated and continued the conversation.

As a frequent visitor to the Morishima household, he knew very well about the girl's current situation.

Since the summer vacation, her daily routine has basically adjusted, but she still goes to bed late occasionally.

But generally speaking, we have returned to a normal routine.

"Yes." There was a hint of complacency in Morishima Yukisa's slightly cold voice, "Now I don't feel sleepy so easily."

"That's a good thing." Beichuan Che nodded. No matter how healthy you are, if you stay up late and get up late every day, even a person of iron can't stand it. "It proves that your body is slowly recovering."

"Hmm~" Yukisa Morishima nodded, slowed down her pace slightly, and the two stopped at the intersection.

Looking at the red traffic light on the sidewalk, Kitagawa Che considered his words and asked naturally, "Speaking of which, how are you getting along with Aunt Morishima recently?"
