Xia went to chat with Kevin and the others.
Mei behind him looked confused.
A girl I met in Canghai City, is she very talented?
In the morning, Xia Cai said that he had no talent.
No, when did Xia meet the girl in Canghai City? Was it when he went to find Sister Himeko?
Or maybe he sneaked out to play in the middle of the night.
Mei suddenly felt a sense of crisis, but she didn't know where it came from. She frowned and was puzzled.
……
"The sunshine after the rain is really the best. Do you see the rainbow?"
Kevin put his arm around Su's shoulders, crossed his legs, and basked in the sun with a happy look on his face.
Xia, sitting next to him, said calmly, "I didn't see the rainbow, but I saw rainbow-colored stockings."
Kevin: "Don't always stare at a girl's legs. When you look at a girl, you should look at her heart. The heartbeat is the most important thing. Experience is also important, just like the content of the book you wrote."
Kevin ate the snacks he took out of Su's drawer while sitting on a bench in the school gymnasium, watching the girls play volleyball.
Because Kevin was watching, there were a lot of girls in the stadium at noon.
Kevin: "Axia, how come you can write such memorable youth romance novels even though you've never been in a relationship?"
In Xia’s youth, he used to read novels during the day and go home alone at night. Now, he sleeps during the day and goes home alone at night.
Kevin didn't understand how Xia felt youthful from such a lonely life of reading novels and sleeping.
Su: "Only guys who have never been in love can write pure romance novels, because their minds are filled with only longing for love. Guys who have actually experienced love can't write such a story."
Kevin: “Isn’t love good?”
Su: “Love is beautiful, but fantasy love is even more beautiful. In comparison, real love is not that beautiful.”
Su shook his head and explained to Kevin.
Xia: "No, there is also beautiful love in reality, the same love as in fantasy."
Su: "Only a young person like you who has never been in a relationship can say such absolute words, alas."
Su sighed and shook his head, looking at Xia and Kevin with a condescending look.
Kevin and Xia looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and then pressed Su to the ground.
Su narrowed his eyes and didn't resist at all, just lying there quietly. After all, the ground in the stadium was not dirty.
Xia: "I am the only one who has the right to say things like 'you guys are young' because I am the oldest among the three of us."
Kevin's mouth twitched. "Although what you said makes sense, I really want to refute it."
Kevin climbed up from Su, breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his original seat.
Su got up from the ground and flicked his shirt, which wasn't dirty. "One of those girls must have smelly feet. The ground smells like sticky orange juice."
Those who hate summer cold should stay away.
Su: “Do you want to go to karaoke tonight?”
Su asked, lying on the back of the bench with his feet tapping on the ground.
Of course Kevin went, but Xia was helpless.
"Why is it that every time you come to see me I always have something to do in the evening? How about the day after tomorrow? It just so happens that I have a holiday the day after tomorrow."
I still have to look at the photos Hua sent me tonight. I can't let him see them in the karaoke bar. If he goes out to karaoke, he might not be able to come home for an hour or two. It would be terrible if Kevin or Su found out.
"What can we do today? Go home and play games?"
Su asked casually. Xia's phone rang and Rita's voice came from the phone. Kevin's eyes lit up. He knew that Rita was Xia and the editor. He said in a low voice but with a big gesture: "On~Hands-free~On~Hands-free~"
Xia was helpless, but he still turned on the speakerphone. He was upright, and if he didn't turn on the speakerphone, Kevin and Su would definitely use this incident to make it a misunderstanding.
"Mr. Xia, the publishing house has decided to print an additional 700,000 copies. After next Monday, you'll be a bona fide million-selling author. Have you decided on the subject of your next book? Will you continue with the otherworldly youth romance genre?"
Kevin's eyes widened. "Million-dollar bestselling author, no, buddy, you're hiding it so well." Didn't they say they'd give it away if the first 1,000 copies didn't sell? And then they printed more copies before they sold out the 300,000.
Kevin felt as if it wouldn't be long before Xia would become a multi-million dollar bestselling author.
Xia put the phone to his ear and said, "I need to think about what to write."
Rita: "How about celebrating? Usually when a million-selling book is completed, the editor will treat the author to a meal. Do you have time tonight?"
Xia: "Yes, but it's only for an hour. Can I bring someone else with me?"
Kevin whispered, "No, Su and I are going to sing karaoke."
Xia: "Okay, there's no one left but me, and my friend isn't going."
Rita: "Can I pick you up after school?"
Xia agreed and hung up the phone.
Kevin: "I knew Norwegian Wood would be a hit, but I didn't expect it to become so popular so quickly, Su, don't you think?"
Kevin looked so happy as if his book had just been published, and his fans were even happier than the author himself, but Su had no expression on his face.
"I haven't watched it yet."
Su had no interest in Xiao H's book. He had fought with Kevin for the book only because Kevin wanted to read it, so he wanted to snatch it away. After Kevin read it, he was so profound and kept praising it, which made Su feel that "how could the book Kevin likes be a good book", so he didn't read it after getting the original copy.
Kevin: "I'll go and read it when I get home tonight. I'm going to keep the original copy."
"Before collecting it, can you please ask me, the original author, for my opinion?"
Kevin glanced at Xia, then looked back at Su and spread his hands. "Xia said he had no objection."
"I'm eighteen now. I can buy you Norwegian Wood."
Xia said this in a mature and steady manner.
"Are you an adult? When?"
Xia: "Yesterday was my eighteenth birthday."
Kevin jumped up, his eyes wide. "No, buddy, you didn't invite me to your 18th birthday ceremony? Who did you celebrate it with?"
Su also raised his eyes slightly, but soon narrowed them again.
Xia always suspected that Su's glasses were not strong enough and he couldn't see clearly without squinting.
Xia: "I...I live on my own."
It’s my eighteenth birthday. If Kevin hadn’t told me, Xia would have forgotten that the eighteenth birthday is a ceremony of coming of age in modern times.
So he spent his 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony at home with Mei, and he also lost his virginity in his own illusion?
Xia silenced himself directly.
But if I tell you that I've been with Mei, I guess Kevin will be furious.
Kevin: "What's the point of having a Bar Mitzvah by myself? I thought you invited a lot of people to your Bar Mitzvah, but I wasn't the only one invited."
Su didn't know what to make of Kevin's intelligence. "Is there a possibility that I didn't receive an invitation either?"
Xia: "I didn't even receive an invitation. I didn't even eat the cake. I just ordered takeout to get by. But I did get a good night's sleep last night."
77
Chapter 77 Hua’s picture has been memorized by Xia.
Xia almost couldn't hold it in, but he coughed twice and talked about the latest new movies to fool people.
Eden hasn't released any music yet, and no one knows when she will release one. Currently, Xia's music is still at the top of the sales charts, but the fans have gone quiet.
It was also a good thing for Xia. Xia leaned on the bench and watched the little girl playing volleyball, but he found it boring after watching for a while.
After playing with the Great Sword Tower last night, Xia suddenly felt that these young and beautiful high school students and the beautiful girls dancing in the short videos were not so attractive anymore.
Maybe they feel that it is just a visual feast and they can't get started, so they think it is okay at first glance, but after watching it more, they feel that it is better not to watch it.
Back in the classroom, Xia did not sleep this afternoon. He listened to the teacher talking about the boring contents of the book, occasionally turning a page.
What was still on his mind was the knowledge of formations, medicine and poisons.
Xia felt that those Honkai beasts and the Death Soldiers might be immune to poison. After all, they didn't look like they could be knocked out by poison.
Xia is good at dealing with blood, and has a deep knowledge of medicine and poisons.
Before I knew it, the book had turned to the last page, two or three teachers had changed on the stage, the sun was still shining, but it was time to go home from school.
Kevin came over and asked Su to go sing, and said hello to Xia. Xia nodded and watched them leave, then put the book back in the drawer and stood up to leave.
As I walked out the door and around the corner of the stairs, a pink letter was suddenly handed to me. A girl about 1.6 meters tall with short pink hair bowed deeply at 90 degrees and raised the letter high in her hand, "Please, Xia-san!"
Xia: "...Do you want to confess to me, or do you want me to help you confess to Kevin?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, "Um, I, I, I like classmate Su..."
Xia nodded, but didn't take the letter. "Then why not give it to him directly."
Xia was ready to leave. Su was not the kind of person who would not reply to a letter. Xia felt that even if he refused after receiving the letter, he would definitely find a suitable time to explain it to the other party.
"I sent Su many letters and desserts I made myself, but Su always ate the desserts and took the letters away. He never replied to me. I don't know what to do."
Zhao Kaiwen asked Su what she thought, but she was a little hesitant. After all, there were so many girls in the school who liked Kaiwen, but none of them could talk to him. She also liked Su, so how could she get an answer by going to Kevin?
Fortunately, Xia and Su have been very close recently, so the girl finally found someone who could help her ask.
Xia: "Oh, because there are so many people sending confession letters to Kevin, including all kinds of homemade cookies and chocolates, he must have thought your letter was for Kevin too. Tomorrow, don't stuff the letter in his shoe cabinet. Go find him directly and hand him the letter openly."
Xia passed the girl and walked downstairs with a calm expression, as if he was not excited at all about his brother being confessed to by a girl.
Girl: "Will Su agree to this?"
Xia paused, raised his head and glanced at the girl coldly, "This way you will know whether he will agree or refuse."
Xia walked downstairs coolly with his hands in his pockets.
Girl: "...Why do I feel like Xia is even more handsome than Su? Is this an illusion? No, no, how can I change my mind? I'm going to confess my feelings to Su tomorrow. That's it!"
When I left the school, Rita had already parked the car at the door.
Xia got in the car and said, "You bought a car so soon? I didn't think you looked particularly wealthy before."
"No, no, I'm very poor and still live in a village in the city. This car was given to me by the editorial department. The president said my performance was very good, so he made me a regular employee early and also gave me a car. If you write a work of the same quality, maybe I can become the editor-in-chief, hehe."
Although she is the editor-in-chief of the actual literature department of the light novel publishing house, she is the only one now and is a real empty shell. However, her salary will be increased, and if she tells others about it, her social status will also be improved.
I am no longer a junior in the editorial department, but have been promoted to the leadership level.
The estimated price of the sedan is around 2-3 million JPY, which is not very expensive, but it is not cheap for Rita who has just been promoted to full-time editor.
Rita tied her hair up and said, "Sorry, my hair always gets messy. Wait a moment."
Rita looked a little embarrassed, and Xia watched her tie her hair up.
Rita was still wearing an office lady's outfit. Compared to an editor, she looked more like the boss's secretary or daughter. Compared with those ordinary interns, she looked more innocent and immature.
It's like a flower that comes out of a greenhouse to pursue its dream. It has not experienced the storm and does not know what it feels like to wither.
Xia: "You don't tie your hair like this with long hair. Didn't you know how to tie your hair before?"
Rita: "Before, my nanny helped me, but I lost contact with my parents because I wanted to stay in the Far East as an editor, and they wanted me to go back to raising cattle."
Xia: "Take the rubber band off your head, turn around, and give me the comb."
Xia looked at Rita's messy hair, which was a torture for someone like him who loved hair.
Although to outsiders, the scattered and messy hair of a beautiful girl like Rita is also a unique beauty, Xia felt itchy in his heart, as if there were ants crawling.
"Ben, I wanted to go to the barber shop to wash my hair and have them style it before I came to see you, but because I wanted to take you to a nice restaurant and was worried about not having enough money, I didn't go."
Rita was sitting in the driver's seat with her back to Xia, her hands grasping the edge of her OL's skirt on her thighs, and she spoke dryly with a blushing face.
A female voice full of magnetism shouldn't be so humble.
Xia was fixing Rita's hair. "You still live in the village in the city, right?"
"Well, the rent is 150,000 yen a month, which is half of my internship salary."
"You've been ripped off. The rent in the urban village is usually around 120,000 yuan."
