I refuse to be a plagiarist

"So... after the matter is resolved, can I go back?"

With a slightly asking tone.

After a brief silence, seeing that the main problem of this trip had been solved, Hasegawa also intended to leave and go home.

——It’s moistened.

It was such a hot day... Although it was nice to be with the beautiful editor, deep down, he felt that he would rather have a good rest in bed.

The seal of the big bed at home is calling me from afar.

Just watching Hasegawa Hide getting up and preparing to leave, Akane Akasaka, who was sitting opposite him, stretched out her arm and stopped his ruthless behavior in time...

Chapter 159: Worthy of You

"I say, are you in such a hurry to go back?"

A trace of resentment towards the young man in front of her for his lack of understanding of romance flashed across her face.

Facing the beautiful editor's gaze, Hasegawa Hide had no intention of playing along at this time. He just gave her a pitiful and slightly tired look.

“But I’m really tired.

It's so hot again...To be honest, I feel like going home and sleeping under the fan.

It's finally our day off, Sister Zhu Yin, you want to take a good rest too, right?"

He also knew that since his focus shifted, he and this older sister had not had any offline contact for a long time.

Now that we finally have a chance to go out... Putting aside the friendship between us, even out of basic social courtesy, we should at least have a meal together before leaving.

but.......

[I really don’t want to go out. ]

Inside the coffee shop, the air conditioner continuously reduced the high temperature's torment on the customers, but looking at the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows that gradually became dazzling as time passed, Hasegawa knew without a doubt what the consequences would be if he went out shopping now.

With his well-proportioned body, he didn't end up looking like a vivid "roasted suckling pig", but it was probably inevitable that he would be covered in sweat after walking a few steps.

Quick-drying summer clothing can only play a supporting role.

Just like "the path to becoming an immortal is against heaven's will", dying on the road is not a rare thing at all.

His face was full of resistance to the hot asphalt road.

Looking at the boy's appearance, Akane Hongsaka, who had some understanding of his character, sighed helplessly.

【yes.......】

[Who would want to go out in this kind of weather? 】

Thinking of how she forced her body to get out of bed in the morning with the mentality of completing a task, Akane Hongsaka couldn't help feeling a little tired.

People should not be too hypocritical, especially towards friends and partners.

Faced with the same situation, even I, who has been in the workplace for a while and has greatly improved my stress resistance, would feel unhappy, let alone this young man who is in the prime of his life?

"Well...then sit here with your sister for a while, okay?

There are some things I want to ask you about."

Looking around the store, apart from two people and a few waiters, there was no one in the cafe at this time.

Also.

Just as Hasegawa Hide complained before, because of the temperature, unless there is something necessary or unless there are appointments with friends, people basically won't go out during the holidays.

The scenery outside the window is indeed better, but compared to that, for most people, staying indoors and enjoying air conditioning and cold drinks is a better choice.

Of course, as for those who are unruly and have sex with a large group of sexy girls in the swimming pool, it is completely "abnormal" and cannot be used as a reference at all...

Like a lazy cat, he stretched out his arms and lay directly on the table.

Faced with Akane Benizaka's retreat, Hasegawa Hide naturally did not insist on going home immediately. Instead, he leaned back and let his body fall on the sofa, just like Ge You who was burned out.

——As long as you don’t go out to bask in the sun, you can do anything!

But then again.......

"Sister Zhu Yin, what else do you want to ask me?"

Lying on his back on the sofa did not prevent him from sucking the iced milkshake from the glass through the straw.

If the previous test from the library owner was about business, then the following conversation between the two people would undoubtedly revolve around some more personal issues.

There was a hint of curiosity in his lazy expression.

[I am just an ordinary high school student. Most of my daily life revolves around the campus. Is there anything else that you find interesting? ]

He couldn't quite understand it.

After all, there are endless authors in the library, and judging from Akane Benizaka's career, she must be more than one high school writer that she can come into contact with.

If you want to reminisce about the past, instead of looking for a boring guy like yourself who only goes between two places, it is better to find some people with richer experiences!

Moreover.......

Although school life is full of youthfulness, apart from reminiscing about the good or regretful past, I am afraid that no one who has experienced it would want to go back and re-experience the feeling of powerlessness of being pushed forward and even stopping for a moment is a luxury.

It is said that the adult world is not easy and that every step is faced with various pressures. However, the problems that students have to face from school and family are enough to completely fill the little souls of boys and girls.

Take Yukinoshita Haruno, who is close to me, as an example.

She is an all-round girl who is extremely envied by outsiders, but she herself is tightly entangled in the route planned by her mother. From time to time, she will run to the rooftop to complain to herself during lunch break. If you don’t know her, you might think she is a revolutionary fighter with a deep hatred and vengeance.

From an outsider's perspective, the trivialities of these girls may not be so hysterical, but for Yukinoshita herself, who is at this age, the so-called "insignificant" may be the root cause of her imprisonment.

"Don't think too much......

Sister, I just graduated from school not long ago, how could I ask you such a boring question. "

He rolled his eyes at the other person weakly.

Perhaps influenced by Hasegawa Hide's aura of laziness, Akane Benizaka, who had been lying on the table for a while, now felt a little tired and wanted to take a nap.

But lying on the table is still not as comfortable as resting on the bed.

So facing Hasegawa's speculative eyes, she changed to a more comfortable posture, and then stared at him with an extremely ambiguous look:

"You...are you secretly 'going to the sea' again and making some weird works?"

"Ah this..."

Facing the death stare from his editor sister, Hasegawa suddenly shuddered and instantly became a lot more energetic.

The other party learned the term "going into the sea" from me.

The only possible reason for saying this now is probably that the story of the young man (harmonious) Abin has been exposed.

Perhaps because he treated the editor-in-chief as his own, when he realized this, Hasegawa Hide did not deliberately conceal his emotions.

So after seeing his subconscious reaction, a hint of understanding appeared on Akane Ayane's face, and then, in the face of the other's somewhat embarrassed expression, she muttered to herself:

"'Abin's results are not ideal'.......tsk tsk!"

There was a hint of amusement in his black eyes.

This kid in front of me...it would be a waste of his talent if he didn't cooperate with some film and television companies!

Chapter 160: The Editor's Imagination Is Even More Powerful Than the Author's

"Young man, you... don't seem to be very honest~"

He looked at Hasegawa in front of him with full of mockery.

I remember that out of curiosity, I accidentally clicked on the other party's second masterpiece after Teacher Bai Jie. I blushed and curled up on the bed with the quilt between my arms, like a roasted shrimp.

In addition to the one plot after another that makes people can't help but imagine, the vivid description of details makes Akane Hongsaka unable to help but start to imagine whether the boy she has high hopes for, actually has a bold and experienced LSP in his heart.

[Like... now?]

Quietly paying attention to the focus of Hasegawa Hide's gaze.

As Hayasaka Ai said: Beauty is a woman’s greatest weapon.

As a habit of working professionals, Akane Akinosaka naturally also has some research on some details of her own dressing.

Just like the outfit I’m wearing today.

Although she is not particularly sexy, in some aspects, coupled with Akane Benizaka's outstanding appearance, she can still inadvertently arouse the hormones of the opposite sex.

Creation requires the accumulation of materials.

Just like the saying “A good cook cannot cook without rice”, if there is not a certain foundation, all that is left is a precarious castle in the air.

In this case...the stunning performance of Hasegawa's two subsequent works naturally aroused the suspicion of the editor.

[That little guy, isn't he secretly staring at me now? ]

She considered herself to be somewhat attractive.

After all, no matter whether you are a student or after you start working, you will often receive courtship signals from suitors.

But considering the reliable impression Hasegawa had left on her before, she quietly erased the rude thought and tried to face the boy with a calmer attitude.

but.......

[Oops, this is a weird reaction...]

Obviously, she was the one who was ready to tease first, but before the boy in front of her could open his mouth, Akane Benizaka herself fell into a state of tension mixed with a hint of panic because of all the strange imaginations.

The legs wrapped in stockings kept rubbing against each other under the table.

At the same time, while she lowered her head to drink coffee, she would raise her eyes and quietly observe Hasegawa Hide's reaction.

Hasegawa Hide, who knew nothing about this, was still holding the straw of his milkshake in his mouth, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was discussing what he was going to eat today.

"Oh.....it turns out you've discovered me again.

I'm so sorry. "

But just like everything, after the first experience, you will never feel confused or flustered the next time you go through it.

Looking back to when Teacher Bai Jie’s story was first exposed, my reaction to the questions from my editor-in-chief was quite immature.

But now...

[It's really strange. It's like hearing that I failed a test again. It doesn't hurt at all.]

I made a very random analogy in my mind.

Although it would be a bit embarrassing, but if he really wanted to find a hole to crawl into...Hasegawa felt that there was no possibility that it would reach such an exaggerated level.

In a sense, gradually becoming thicker-skinned is also a part of growing up.

So in response to Akane Hongsaka's teasing, he just smiled indifferently and then said nothing more.

But I don’t know if it’s just my illusion.

After Akane Akasaka said that, Hasegawa always felt that the other party seemed to be desperately enduring something.

Those subtle details did not escape his observation ability which was comparable to the "Miao Renfeng" state of the stupid netizens.

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she would steal glances at me from time to time, with her legs crossed and rubbing against each other...

[Could it be that...I drank too much and felt the urge to go to the bathroom? ]

His expression gradually became strange.

He knew that there was a type of person who, in order to maintain their ladylike demeanor or gentlemanly manners, would exercise extremely strict self-discipline in certain behaviors in their daily lives.

Even...even some ordinary things in daily life, in front of their face-saving character, need careful consideration before they can express them.

[Eh... So that's how it is? ]

[I never expected that this editor who always makes dirty jokes online would actually be so image-conscious when she's out.]

A sense of understanding gradually emerged in my mind.

As an old netizen with many years of experience in surfing the Internet, Hasegawa has witnessed too many "talents" who are awesome online but timid offline.

The huge difference between the before and after is like that of two different people, which made most netizens couldn't help but complain after watching it. The art of face-changing, the quintessence of our great Chinese drama, needs successors.

Of course, this is just an exaggerated metaphor.
