Why don't you ask him for advice? Give him the first draft to look at?
Ask nicely, give up your dignity, and it doesn’t matter if you are rejected, at least try your best?
When this inexplicable idea sprouted from my heart, it grew uncontrollably.
In the days that followed, Teacher Xia Shizi couldn't even write. At times, she even felt that the punctuation and sentence breaks were not perfect enough.
This girl didn't take Beiyuan Kong's last and most crucial words to heart at all.
In fact, after saying so much that day, Kitahara Sora wanted to scold her and wake her up, asking her to give up writing and study hard.
Kasumigaoka Utaha is actually an impatient person and a man of action. She does whatever she thinks of.
Since I had thought of this and learned the exact information about the "strange reader", I took a leave of absence and came to Chiba the next day.
When it comes to pursuing her dream, this girl has no reserve at all as a girl. In order to find him most efficiently, Kasumigaoka Utaha directly told the security guard at the door that she was the girlfriend of Kitahara Sora from the second year J group. Although he had been missing for many days, he had been home for almost a month and still hadn't contacted her.
So the guard handed the girl from Tokyo over to Shizukaai who was scolding someone in the office, which was what Yukino and the others saw.
Recalling this scene, even Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but secretly spit in her heart. What was she thinking at that time? She clearly needed help from him, but she still lied to him and made people misunderstand her. Was she obsessed with the plot recently?
When Yukino pushed the door open, Shizukaai even looked at the fun and said to Yukino and the other three, "Yukinoshita? Wow, it's great that you're here. Look, this Tokyo beauty, Kitahara Sora's girlfriend, has come to the school. What the hell did that guy do? You know Yukinoshita, right?"
What kind of scene is that?
The lunch box in Lingyin's hand fell to the ground with a 'thump'. Kato Megumi widened her eyes, then opened her mouth but said nothing. However, she had at least three complaints in her heart that she wanted to complain about.
Yukino's face turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye. A blue light flashed in her pupils. Even the temperature dropped a few degrees, causing the dead-eyed young man who was standing in the corner eating watermelon in a very happy mood to shudder and look up at the air conditioner in confusion.
But Yukino is not a naive woman whose mind is full of love after all. It’s just that Hiratsuka Shizuka’s joke made her uncomfortable, and she knew it was a lie almost instantly.
So, Shizukaai irresponsibly gave this trouble to Yukinoshita-san.
Sitting at the dining table, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt more and more uncomfortable. Although all the dishes had been served, no one had picked up their chopsticks. She might as well apologize, as she had come to ask him for help!
"Ahem, that..."
"eat first."
Kitahara Sora, with an expressionless face, interrupted the embarrassed girl, suddenly raised his chopsticks and added a piece of sweet and sour pork to Yukino's bowl, then Kei, then Suzune...
In the end, I didn't care what they thought and just started eating.
This sudden scene stunned Kasumigaoka Utaha, and her astonished eyes swept back and forth between the three people.
The one on the right is my younger sister, the one next to me is my junior, and the one on the left is my classmate. Such an intimate action can be done so smoothly and naturally. The relationship between them...
"This is the custom in his hometown. It's an act of hospitality. Besides, he hasn't put his chopsticks in his mouth yet." Yukino explained helplessly, then glared at Kitahara Sora who was concentrating on eating, and picked up the bowl as well.
"Yes, really?"
"Let's eat first, Kasumigaoka-senpai, and talk while we eat."
Kato Megumi clasped her hands together, muttered to herself "I'm starting", then put the sweet and sour pork into her mouth, revealing a look of enjoyment.
The fried tenderloin, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, is covered with a layer of attractive, sticky and stringy sugar coating. The sweet and sour taste with a hint of saltiness instantly fills the mouth. This strange combination of flavors gives people an extremely delicious feeling.
Although it was the first time I tasted Mr. Kitahara’s cooking, I was still amazed. This is authentic Chinese cuisine, and it is comparable to the cooking of Zhuangzhong’s wife.
By the way, there are other dishes you have to try too. The salt and pepper spareribs look delicious, as well as the cold dish with a very strange name, 'Fuqi Feipian'!
"Yes, Kasumigaoka-senpai, you came to Chiba without having breakfast, and you only bought a piece of bread for lunch. You must be hungry. Eat first."
Kitahara Suzune stuffed a whole egg roll into her mouth, her cheeks puffed up like a hamster, very cute. She chewed it with big mouthfuls while mumbling to Kasumigaoka Utaha.
It would have been fine if I hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as I mentioned Kasumigaoka, I felt my stomach protesting. I only ate a piece of bread at noon that day. After resolving the misunderstanding with Yukino and the others during lunch break, I went to a cafe not far from the school to wait for them after school. I only ordered one latte for the whole afternoon, and just had a refill in the middle.
Faced with this table of tempting Chinese cuisine, she, as a reserved young girl, had been trying hard to resist swallowing her saliva, forcing herself not to focus on the food.
"I'm sorry to bother you." After politely thanking them, Kasumigaoka Utaha put her hands together and said "I'm eating", then picked up the chopsticks.
"Many ingredients are not available in the mall, so I exchanged them directly." Beiyuan Kong stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth and said vaguely: "If I use substitutes, the taste will be weird like last time."
"It's already very good, Kitahara-kun." Yukino scooped a spoonful of chicken soup into the soup bowl, blew on it gently, took a sip carefully, and then said: "At least your cooking skills are better than the chef of 'Zhiweiju'."
The girl suddenly raised her head, and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared in her shining eyes. "Would you like to consider taking the position? If you are interested, Mr. Liu will receive a transfer notice tomorrow."
'Zhiweiju' is a Chinese restaurant on Chiba Pedestrian Street. Well, it is one of the few industries of the Yukinoshita family besides real estate. Mr. Liu is the chef of that restaurant.
"Don't be like that." Kitahara Sora seriously condemned the girl next to him, "It's not easy for people to struggle to make a living abroad with their families. Don't show the ugly face of capitalism around people like that, Miss Second."
"Haha." Yukino sneered, "Poor cooking skills are tolerable, and tampering with recipes is acceptable, but deceiving customers is too much. That pedestrian street has a very large proportion of foreign tourists, and it receives hundreds of Chinese tourists almost every day. You know what I mean, Kitahara-kun."
Well, what Xueno said makes sense. There are almost no authentic Chinese restaurants abroad. The chefs will modify the menu according to the local people's tastes to make the taste more suitable for the locals, rather than making the locals cater to the new taste.
It’s like there are so many Chinese restaurants in the United States, but when you look at the menu, almost all the dishes seem confusing to Chinese people, or they have never even eaten them.
There's no way Yukino didn't know this, she was just saying this to be annoying.
Kitahara Sora pondered for a moment, turned his head and looked at Yukino, nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "Give up this idea, I will never bow to capitalism, especially to someone like you."
"Really."
Yukino nodded in understanding, then took out her cell phone and pressed a few buttons. After a while, the call was connected.
"Have you eaten yet? Well... aren't you planning to develop the catering business recently? I'm having dinner at Kitahara-kun's house, and I'll pack it up for you and mom later. Come here, yes, authentic Chinese cuisine... don't expect too much... you'll be very busy tomorrow, just go to the convenience store to buy a lunch box, please don't use the reference as an excuse to come over for a free meal, please maintain your modesty as a woman, you're actually not familiar with Kitahara-kun... I'll pack up every dish... well, go home before nine o'clock, no need to arrange a car to pick me up... OK, bye."
"Are you serious?"
Kitahara Sora was stunned as he looked at Yukino who put her phone down calmly, pretended to put her pleated skirt pocket back in, but actually used the dining table to block Kasumigaoka's view and put the ring in.
"Hmm~"
Yukino took another sip of the chicken soup. The wonderful salty, fragrant and fresh taste made her look enjoyable. She hummed softly. Every time she went to Kitahara-kun's house for dinner, he would make Chinese chicken soup because she had said she wanted to drink it. This was very good.
Lingyin shrank her neck, then put some food into her bowl. Kato Megumi elegantly picked up a ball of snow-white rice with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. Today's rice was not bad, soft and delicious, full of elasticity but not sticky to the teeth. It should be the high-end rice from the supermarket.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned by this inexplicable scene, and the glutinous rice balls on the chopsticks were hanging in the air.
Is this the daily chat life of capitalism? Can a person’s future be determined by just chatting? ? ?
When she was in school, didn’t this young lady appear to be well-educated, polite and considerate?
She even listened to me clarifying the misunderstanding with a smile on her face, and then offered to take me to see Kitahara Sora. Although I didn't know whether we should just go to his house for dinner, otherwise, as a reserved woman, I would never agree to it no matter what.
The girlfriend incident was just a brain-wrecking incident.
"Don't worry about it, Ms. Kasumigaoka." Kitahara Sora said politely, "She behaves like this occasionally, she's just in a bad mood, and the chef won't be transferred."
"Yeah, okay." After putting the meatball into her mouth, Kasumigaoka Utaha had only one feeling: it tasted good. Although she was very hungry, her mind was not on the food.
I had just mustered up the courage to bring up the novel, but was interrupted by Yukinoshita's seemingly gentle, yet piercing words.
Then the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence again, with only the sound of chewing being heard on the table.
After a while, Lingyin finished eating, but after wiping her mouth, she did not leave the table. Instead, she took out a large bottle of orange juice from under the table, unscrewed it, and very obediently filled the disposable cups in front of everyone, then returned to her seat.
The girl was somewhat curious about what would happen next.
Then Kato Megumi also finished eating, elegantly took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, took a sip of orange juice, and sat upright at the dining table.
Then Yukino finally put down her chopsticks and waited quietly.
When Kitahara Sora took the last bite of rice, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally couldn't help herself and took out the stack of A4 paper from her cute waist bag. Before she could say anything, she heard the man opposite her ask in a lazy but very polite tone: "Ms. Kasumigaoka, are you done eating?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha paused, but still responded very politely: "Thank you for the treat. I'm full."
"Have you finished eating?" Kitahara Sora suddenly stood up. "Go home after you finish eating. It will be troublesome if you miss the last train to Tokyo. Yukino, please send Miss Kasumigaoka off."
"Okay." Yukino smiled like a lady from a noble family, stood up politely and gracefully, and said to the confused Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Ms. Kasumigaoka, it's getting late, please go back."
"Eh?"
Lingyin shouted in surprise, what's going on? Sister Yukino asked Miss Kasumigaoka to come to her house, wasn't it about the novel? What does it mean to send the guests away after dinner?
Why do you two have such a good understanding with each other all of a sudden?
Kato Megumi turned her face away reluctantly. Since Kitahara-senpai knew the plot, he must be very familiar with this senior. The seemingly unattainable high-class flower, a celebrity with the title of "Snow Queen" like Yukino-senpai, is actually an innocent girl with love on her mind.
Once he encounters something he likes, his extraordinary IQ will instantly become negative, whether it is his blind affection for Tomoya Aki in the original plot, or now because of the novel, he makes such a willful "feat" of skipping classes to travel.
With a personality like that, it would be weird for Kitahara-senpai to want to get involved with you.
It's already very polite of me to invite you to dinner, but now you value novels more than your life, so the seniors now will definitely not understand the thoughts of Kitahara senior and Yukino senior, and think that they are playing a trick on you. After all, you came all the way from Tokyo to Chiba, not for a delicious meal.
In fact, they just want you to give up this absurd dream of writing novels!
Just as Hui thought, Kasumigaoka's pretty face slowly changed from a dazed state to an incredible one, and then instantly turned cold.
She slowly lowered her head. Although the expression on her face could not be seen clearly, her body that was trembling slightly with anger and the draft that was crumpled into a ball in her hands undoubtedly revealed to the people present that the Tokyo Beauty was very angry, the kind that made her want to chop people.
'Boom! '
She slammed the crumpled manuscript onto the dining table with such force that all the dishes on the table shook.
She suddenly raised her head, and her flawless face showed a pair of big, sparkling eyes that were sharp but already filled with crystal tears.
"So, you think I came from Tokyo to Chiba just to have a meal with you?"
At least, after listening to my earnest plea, you can refuse...
A hoarse voice came out of her throat, and she stared at the innocent-looking Kitahara Sora and Yukino, "Are you... kidding me?!"
Kato Megumi sighed weakly, and even had the urge to hold her forehead.
Why can you do this? It is 100% consistent with the script trajectory I simulated in my mind. In some aspects, you are quite amazing, senior!
It was indeed intentional, about playing tricks on you.
In fact, Kitahara-senpai will still listen to you carefully.
Just as Kato Megumi thought, facing Miss Kasumigaoka who was about to cry, Kitahara Sora rubbed his temples and looked like he had a headache.
Finally, he pointed at the sofa and motioned for her to sit over there.
"For the last time, Teacher Kasumi Shiko, I really admire you."
Seeing this sudden turn, Kasumigaoka Uta's angry and aggrieved expression suddenly froze on her face, and she stood there in disbelief.
Xueno shook her head helplessly and took out her cell phone to book a hotel for her to stay overnight.
"That's it, Kasumigaoka-senpai."
Kato Hui drank the orange juice in her hand and explained softly: "If you don't agree, Yukino-senpai will clearly reject you at noon. The reason why I brought you to Kitahara-senpai's house is to help you."
"Hey, is that so?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha wiped her tears and stared at Yukino in a daze.
At this time, Kitahara Sora's slightly reproachful voice came over.
"Next time, let me know in advance about this kind of thing."
"If I inform you in advance, will you agree?"
Kitahara Sora thought about it, then nodded slowly: "I will refuse."
"That's why I reluctantly picked up your abandoned girlfriend from Tokyo."
The corner of Kitahara Sora's mouth twitched, "Thank you so much."
Chapter 6 Don't Try to Understand Him
After this little episode, Yukino helped Suzune clean up the dishes, while Kitahara Sora sat on the sofa and carefully looked at the crumpled manuscript of the light novel.
Hui sat down next to Kitahara Sora's right, and out of curiosity she stretched her neck to take a look at the contents of the novel. Her big, lively eyes moved slightly, and combined with her expressionless face, she looked very cute in a contrasting way.
Kasumigaoka sat upright on his left, keeping a polite distance. She stared at Kitahara Sora's sharp profile, feeling a little uneasy and feeling as heavy as if she was waiting to be judged.
The first draft of 80,000 words can no longer be considered the beginning. Generally, a volume of a light novel is only about 100,000 words. In reality, less than two weeks have passed since the last time I met her in Akihabara. During this period of time, Kasumigaoka started to construct a new story, then decided to start writing, and then rejected the draft several times before finally finalizing this 80,000-word manuscript.
In other words, after being scolded by Kitahara Sora that day, this girl went home and started thinking about her new book. To have achieved this in such a short time, the word "amazing" is not enough to describe her.
If you count all the manuscripts she scrapped, there would be at least 30 of them!
Moreover, this girl treats her work with all her heart, so there is no way there would be any "water text" situation. Besides, she still has to go to school...
This speed...she's simply a real code queen!
Could this guy be typing even during class?
It should be like this, typing on the computer at home and writing by hand in class, have I become obsessed with it?
Kitahara Sora raised his head suspiciously, looking at Teacher Kasumigaoka Shiko who seemed to have a serious face but was actually staring at him in a daze. Suddenly, he realized that this girl was even more charming than that day? No wonder she felt a little enchanting today, because she was wearing light makeup!
From the contact that day, I could tell that she had no habit of wearing makeup like Yukino. For a naturally beautiful girl, cosmetics would be superfluous. And no matter how the merchants boast that their products will not have any negative effects on the skin, no matter how expensive the cosmetics are, they contain chemical substances.
