How rude, we are pure love!

——"Don't stand still."

——"Focus on the present, and everyone will notice your brilliance."

This is not a magical world!

Qingye took a deep breath and stepped forward.

*

Banaijian arrived at the restaurant early today. After all, it was Qingye’s important day. As a good friend, she must see Qingye as soon as possible and make different choices based on the results!

At this moment, the blue-haired girl folded her hands on her chin with a serious expression, just like a husband anxiously waiting for his wife outside the delivery room.

crunch.

The door rang.

coming!

Ba Nai's heart tightened and his expression became even more serious.

She couldn't help but slam the table and asked loudly: "Is it a boy or a girl!?"

"...What are you talking about?" Qingye was dumbfounded.

Seeing her pretty face flush, Ba Nai coughed lightly, and quickly walked up to him with small steps. After hesitating for a moment, she asked forcefully, "I'm talking about the result! The result!"

She stared into Qingye's eyes, her heart beating violently.

"It's been approved." Qingye said casually.

Eh?

Ba Naijian's eyes slowly widened.

In other words.

This is it, this is it, this is it.

"Really succeeded? You really succeeded!"

Inexplicable emotions hit his heart. Banaijian let out a small scream and shook his body vigorously, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

At this moment... there were many emotions swirling around in her that even she herself couldn't understand, and she couldn't control them even if she wanted to.

There is one emotion that is undoubtedly touching.

Because Qingye has been moving towards his dream, she has been watching from the closest position, and when his brilliance finally blooms for others, the feeling is indescribable.

There is an emotion, probably emotion.

He shot the arrow with all his strength, and even though it was blown away by the strong wind for a moment, it finally hit the bull's eye.

There is another emotion, which is admiration.

He did things that no one else could imagine, he exceeded his own expectations, he gradually became a better person, while she was still standing still.

why?

At this moment, she seemed to see Qingye in the future.

He was a little more confident than he is now, but his clothes were still casual.

He would quit his current job, sit in a cafe with his editor, and express his opinions with frivolous jokes. After being coldly questioned, he would become more serious and determined.

The two will have heated arguments, reconcile, and ultimately create a unique work that moves readers to tears.

She wiped her eyes and suddenly felt that Qingye was so far away from her.

*

Heisei 22.

The results of the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award have been announced.

"A Gift to the God of Death" won first place in the Grand Prize.

Editor's Note: This is a "questionable work that's hard to pin down." At first glance, it even makes one wonder if it truly has the commercial value of a light novel. It's more suited to literature than light novels, but I believe everyone who reads this book will be equally moved.

——Published and approved.

...

ps: The world line has changed!

...

038.Brother, carry me home!

Although the light novel was successfully published and sparked discussion on a small scale, and at first glance it seemed that he had stepped half a foot into the well-off class, Qingye's life has not changed much recently. He still goes between restaurants and Internet cafes.

After all, the novel needs to be discussed repeatedly, and then it needs to be proofread, the cover needs to be designed, printed, promoted, and sold... It will take at least three or four months to be successfully published and get the royalties.

During this period, I still have to work, but the moonlight has penetrated the dark clouds covering the sky and shines on my body. My life has become more promising, and the difficult environment now will become a memory that I will miss in the future.

These past two days he had been thinking about whether he could ask his editor to help him make some extra money, such as participating in a short story award that could earn him money quickly. However, he had only just met the editor and was embarrassed to make such a request.

And now the most important thing is...

"I have to find a way to solve the identity and bank card problems." Qingye thought casually in front of the laptop, with drops of water falling from the glass window beside him.

He had used Yanami's family as a cover-up for the submission information - when he had asked the girl for her opinion before, she had only said jokingly, "Do you really want to become the second son of the Yanami family?" But now it was no longer possible, and it had to be formalized.

"Come back and ask the editor if there is any solution."

Qingye scratched his head and turned his gaze to the computer in front of him. A chat box with "Xue" was displayed on the screen.

"Report! I have successfully won the Dengeki Bunko. By the way, I accidentally won the first place."

After all, the other party had worked hard with him for several nights, and he informed Xiaoxue as soon as he won the award.

"Really? Congratulations." Still extremely cold.

"Although it was painful to accept Teacher Xiaoxue's infernal guidance at first, the editor praised the details after the changes. You made me a better person, and this first place is also due to your contribution. Now, I am like a girl in love, eagerly waiting for your sharp tongue!"

"If you say that name again, I'll kill you."

The cold air seemed to turn the screen into frost.

"Besides, this has nothing to do with me."

There was a pause.

she says:

"Your worries and sorrows are the pain you have chosen. The brilliance you gain after going through pain belongs to you."

"It's raining."

"It's raining."

Neon lights spread across the glass windows that were constantly dripping with water droplets. Outside the window was a lonely night scene. Banaijian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the front hall, his nose almost touching the cold surface, and his exhaled breath overlapped with the rain marks.

Qingye lowered his head to wipe a stubborn oil stain on his apron.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and they were the only two people left in the store. The space was empty and silent, with only the sound of splashing water in their ears, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Banaijian breathed playfully towards the glass window again. It seemed like he was playing, but in fact he was secretly looking at the boy beside him through the reflection of the glass.

Two days passed after Qingye won the award. At first, she was still worried whether their relationship would change because of this, but Qingye's style remained the same as before, so she felt relieved, but a trace of anxiety occasionally flashed in her heart.

She drew a smiley face on her exhaled breath.

"It's done, let's go." Qingye exhaled and took off his apron.

Banai nodded and then untied the hair tie. Her smooth blue hair cascaded down like silk, with a faint aroma of French fry oil on the ends of her hair.

The two returned to the lounge, grabbing their belongings.

Qingye took out the large raincoat the girl gave him last time and zipped it up to his chin. The quality of this raincoat bought from a convenience store was not very good and it had a cheap plastic smell, but he liked it very much because it was big enough and very comfortable to move around in.

After packing up, Qingye turned off the lights and the two walked out the door.

The streets were deserted, with only the streetlights emitting a dim glow.

It's still a bit cold with the cold wind blowing outside.

At this moment, Ba Nai Jian suddenly cried out.

Qingye turned sideways and looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

"I think I forgot to bring my raincoat..." The blue-haired girl blinked and put her fingertips behind her.

Qingye raised an eyebrow, speechless. It's the rainy season recently! It rains three out of five days. How could you forget to bring a raincoat in this kind of weather? You really are a stupid foodie!

Wait, the current situation, that is to say...

It suddenly rained at night, and a young man and woman shared an umbrella.

Apparently, this is a classic rainy day goodwill incident!

——But Qingye doesn’t think so.

Because the so-called shared bicycle incident has become a daily occurrence here, so what difference does it make even if there is an extra umbrella? Not to mention there are no umbrellas at all! So this guy really just forgot!

But how can this...

"Young senior, do you know—" Ba Nai Jian tugged at his sleeve with a grin, his lake-blue eyes flashing like searchlights. "Your raincoat is a parent-child style, right? And it's the dad's oversized one!"

Qingye gradually realized something, took a breath, and took a half step back - and Banaijian had already tiptoed to lift the back of his raincoat, and the citrus scent with body temperature suddenly invaded the narrow space.

It was a familiar scent.

"Try it on for a bit."

There was a rustling sound, and Banai saw that the movement of getting into the raincoat was as smooth as getting into a sleeping bag.

Qingye's body stiffened, and he suddenly felt the sound of rain disappear. Only the girl's breathing and heartbeat remained in his ears. His bodies inevitably came into contact, and he felt the girl's touch on his back. He inexplicably imagined the girl's gentle eyes at this moment, and the sound of fabric rubbing against each other sounded softly.

Banaijian placed his cold hands on his waist as if to check his raincoat.

With such close contact, even Qingye's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably. He took a deep breath and quickly reached out to lift up the raincoat, wanting to push her out - but Banai suddenly stumbled, pushing him forward two steps.

"It's going to leak."

My ears were wet with warm breath.

The excessive movement brought the two of them to the street. The sound of rain hitting the waterproof coat was crackling, and the hot air exhaled by the girl condensed into misty circles on the inner wall of the plastic.

The corners of Qingye's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but become conjoined twins now. After all, he couldn't let the girl get wet in the rain. Moreover, after confirming the strange postures of the two, the hint of romance in his heart disappeared, and there was only a helpless amusement.

“I’m really impressed…”

The girl's laughter sounded like some scheme had succeeded: "Now it really has become a parent-child outfit!"

then.

She grabbed the edge of the boy's clothes.

"Brother, take me home."

The upturned tail sound is like a half-melted marshmallow in the rain.

"...You're not going to pretend to be an older sister today, right?" Qingye felt her body tremble inexplicably, but she still spoke in a deep voice.

The two of them walked to the bicycle in this posture, and the puddles they accidentally stepped into splashed some mud on their shoes.

The back seat of the bicycle is just covered by the hem of the raincoat. No matter how big a raincoat is, if it is worn by two people, there will be a part of the body that will not be covered. This really becomes a tribute to a legendary girl's comic.

"Should I be a voice actor in the future?" The rain was drizzling, but not too heavy. Yanaijian grabbed the corner of his clothes and started the topic happily as usual.

"Why do you want to be a voice actor again?" The woman's expression changed so quickly, Qingye sighed.

"Because your future work will be animated, right? So I can rely on your relationship to be the voice actor of the heroine!" The girl seemed to have no dreams at all.
