Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

"Normal Tokyo University students can't do this." Ishida Reimi couldn't help but look at her again and said, "The University of Tokyo enrolls 3,000 students a year, but there aren't many who can publish a novel and win an award, right?"

She was a little surprised at Sawayama Haruno's sudden fame, and even more surprised was that Mana's sister was actually with him.

Although she admired Sawayama Haruno's talent very much, Reimi Ishida felt a little disgusted by such things in his private life.

After all, she definitely still supports her friends, so Haruno's relationship with Maki is a betrayal of Mana in her eyes.

In contrast, Miyazawa Mana didn't have such an idea. She noticed the curious looks of the other girls in the room and said helplessly, "Don't look at me. I don't know much about Haruno's situation either."

"Have you read that book, Mana?"

A girl with long wavy hair and delicate makeup suddenly asked, "I feel like Zeshan-san bears some resemblance to the hero in the book."

Her tone was very tactful, but almost everyone present had read the book, so when she said this, everyone quickly understood that what she really meant was to ask whether Mana and Maki corresponded to the heroines in the book.

For a moment, the private room fell into an eerie silence.

Miyazawa Mana couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

“It’s a bit similar.”

Finally, she responded in a low voice: "That's why you can write so well, right?"

".Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Seeing that something seemed wrong, Reimi Ishida clapped her hands to draw attention.

She pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Isn't this a gathering for girls? Why do we have to keep discussing Zeshan-san?"

"Yeah, let's play some games."

Another girl seized this opportune moment and took out a board game box from the drawer.

Just like that, the seemingly awkward atmosphere disappeared in an instant, but it was impossible to know what everyone was thinking.

Mana Miyazawa also joined the game, but after playing a few rounds, she sat aside and started eating snacks, looking a little absent-minded.

She knew exactly what these people wanted to hear from her.

Although they find this behavior annoying, curiosity is part of human nature, and they don't have any ill intentions, they just want to know what celebrities are like.

As expected, once a person becomes famous, he or she will attract all kinds of unnecessary troubles.

In this situation, can I still get Haruno back?

Everyone already knows that Maki is Haruno's girlfriend, which means that he has become the intruder now.

Even without this group of high school classmates, Haruno would still be under constant public scrutiny. What would happen if the affair between him and the twins was exposed?

Although the island nation is very tolerant of literary masters, Haruno is still in the early stages of his debut and is still on the rise.

He still has a long way to go before he can become a literary giant. After all, he hasn't won many domestic literary awards yet. If he wants to rely on his talent to gain everyone's acceptance, he will have to wait for some time.

What if during this waiting period, Haruno's private life is exposed?

This incident is already a lesson for us. The other party was caught off guard by the fact that he was a student at the University of Tokyo, and even some things about his high school days were spread wildly on the Internet.

Even if it doesn't have much impact on Haruno, the ending may be different for the sensitive Miyazawa Maki.

Thinking of this, Miyazawa Mana's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

Chapter 324 Girls' Worries

At the same time, on the other side, Sawayama Haruno, who had just finished his hot spring vacation, was not feeling relaxed either.

Sitting on the train back to Tokyo, he looked at Ezaki Suguha with a helpless expression.

"Is this really necessary?" he said depressedly.

"real."

Suguha Ezaki held the mask and insisted that Haruno Sawayama wear it.

Even Mine Shiori couldn't help but whisper her own opinion: "The school forum has gone crazy, and Haruno must have seen the popularity online. It's good that no one recognized it. If someone recognized it, there might be other troubles."

"All right."

Seeing that Shiori Mine also agreed, Sawayama Haruno felt helpless but still took the mask handed to him by Suguha.

After putting it on, he asked uncertainly, "Is this all right?"

"It should be fine. Not many photos of Haruno have been circulated."

Ezaki Suguha observed him wearing the mask and said softly, "If you're not someone you know well, it's hard to tell you're Kiriyama Fuyumi."

"You'd better wear it when you go to school later."

Mine Shiori added cautiously, "The most troublesome thing is going back to school. There are a lot of people tagging you in the class group chat these days. If you go back like this, you might be surrounded by your classmates."

"I see. So, has the book become so popular?"

Sawayama Haruno scratched his face, somewhat puzzled, "It's only been on sale for less than two months, it shouldn't be like this."

"Because of the influence of Mr. Shibata's promotion, Haruno's book has also attracted a lot of attention in the industry." Mine Shiori pursed her lips and whispered, "Then the influence has been further increased. Coupled with the excessive promotion by the partners, the hottest topic at the moment is Haruno's novel."

She was actually being relatively conservative. Sawayama Haruno's book was officially released in the middle of last month, and in less than ten days it topped the monthly sales list of physical novels.

This month is even more terrifying, with sales almost twice that of the second place.

Just looking at these data, you can tell how popular this book is in the market.

It can only be said that Sawayama Haruno still underestimated the value of "Norwegian Wood". In his previous life, this book was said to be "one for every five people".

Even when it was first released in the previous life, it was once sold out and even dominated the sales charts for a long time. It was not until the younger generation who wrote suspense novels appeared that the book's dominance on the charts came to an end.

“It’s terrible.”

Sawayama Haruno rubbed his brows.

He is still feeling the lingering fear of his identity being exposed.

During these days of vacation at the hot spring hotel, he has received calls from several different people.

Maki and Mana both said that they were asked about "Kiyama Fuyumi" and "Sawayama Haruno" by people around them more than once. Even those high school classmates who they hadn't contacted for a long time sent them messages to inquire about the truth of the matter, which made them very distressed.

Putting aside his private life, the dean of the university also called him and asked him to remember to visit the school when he returned, probably to talk about something related to books.

In addition to these, Sawayama Haruno also received several other scattered calls.

Some calls came from high school teachers, some calls from classmates I hadn't contacted for many years, and some calls from colleagues I had only met once or twice in Kyoto.

After receiving calls from these people, Sawayama Haruno looked even more confused, but was too embarrassed to hang up directly, so he could only try his best to ignore them, and then immediately set his phone to do not disturb mode.

As expected, people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. What happened in the past few days made Zeshan Haruno feel extremely overwhelmed.

Ezaki Suguha seemed to see his troubles. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Should we not let Maki come back these few days?"

"Ok?"

Sawayama Haruno looked at her in confusion, and it took him a while to understand what she meant.

"makes sense."

Zeshan Haruno smiled bitterly and said, "Let's wait until the heat of this matter has cooled down a bit before letting her come back. I will also call her and explain everything to her later."

Too many people are paying attention to him now, and he was previously secretly photographed and exposed.

Although Ms. Morikawa said that the company has sent someone to sue the other party, Sawayama Haruno is still worried that there will be other people with ulterior motives who will continue to secretly film his life.

In order to prevent the pregnant Maki from encountering any overly sensitive incidents, he decided to let her stay at Miyazawa's house for a few more days.

Not only did he let Miyazawa Maki hide, he also began to think about whether he should take Suguha out for a while, at least to stay away from some trouble.

If I continue to stay in Tokyo, all kinds of "acquaintances" will inevitably come to me, and I will not be able to deal with them, nor will I be able to ignore them.

It's a real headache.

"Suguha, do you think we should go somewhere else for a while?"

Zeshan Haruno groaned for a moment and said, "I don't think I can go to school anyway. I'll talk to the dean when I get back. I should be able to apply for a vacation. After all, the semester is almost over."

"I really want to say this, but I'm going to learn how to drive starting next week."

Ezaki Suguha paused and said helplessly, "Or Haruno can bring Maki with him and return to Osaka early."

"Osaka?"

Sawayama Haruno seemed to be thinking about something.

What the other party said was quite true. If he could really discuss his leave with the school, he could indeed take Maki back to Osaka directly. Not only that, he could also ask her parents to go back with them.

We will discuss the affairs of the two families at that time. After the discussion, the heat of this incident will probably have subsided.

Then he would secretly bring Maki back to Tokyo and directly take the marriage certificate to the district office to register.

I can also attend the annual meeting of Otowa Group, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

"Let me think about it."

Although he felt that this suggestion was good, Sawayama Haruno was not in a hurry to make his own decision.

After a moment of silence, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If possible, I still hope to take you back with me."

"Haruno."

Suguha Ezaki's face suddenly turned red.

After all, Mine Shiori was sitting next to her, and even if she lowered her voice, there was a possibility that she would hear it.

Sawayama Haruno said such words so openly that even she, who was usually calm, couldn't help but feel a little shy.

Fortunately, Sawayama Haruno quickly found a new topic and calmly let the matter go.

He looked up and suggested to Mine Shiori, who was standing on the other side, "Shiori, you should also be aware that not many people at school know about your work at Kodansha, right?"

"That's not true."

Mine Shiori shook her head quite obediently.

"Everyone just knows that I started my internship early, but they don't know where I'm working, and I've never told them."

"That's good."

Seeing this, Sawayama Haruno breathed a sigh of relief.

What he is worried about now is that his book writing will affect the people around him.

The Miyazawa twins have inevitably been affected because they were his high school classmates. Although it won't cause too much trouble, it's annoying to have people coming over to ask about it all the time.

If Mine Shiori was also affected, it would probably be even more troublesome for her as she is not good at communicating with outsiders.

“It’s almost here.”

Hearing the announcement coming from the train, Mine Shiori noticed that they were not far from Shinjuku.

She glanced at the three people's luggage again and suggested, "Haruno will be rushing to school soon, so it's better for us to carry your things."

"Then it's up to you."

Sawayama Haruno handed the travel bag and suitcase next to him to Ezaki Suguha and Mine Shiori, and added: "Remember to find Mr. Takashima and pick up the salmon balls. If he is not in the apartment, ask the other person in charge for his contact number."

"I see."

Jiang Qizhiye nodded and said softly: "Get ready to get off the bus, and Haruno should come back early in the evening."

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."

Sawayama Haruno responded, then watched the two girls walk to the door of the carriage with their luggage.

When they arrived at the next stop, they quickly disappeared from Sawayama Haruno's sight with the crowd.

As the train slowly started again, Sawayama Haruno continued to head towards his next destination - the University of Tokyo.

"I really don't know what the leaders will say." Sawayama Haruno rubbed his face hard.

The conversation with him must be about storytelling. Although there are countless talented people in the University of Tokyo, Sawayama Haruno feels that he may be the first one who can show such extraordinary literary talent in his first year.

It goes without saying that the school definitely wants to "cultivate" me, but I don't know how they will say it specifically.

Sawayama Haruno didn't expect the school to guarantee his admission to graduate school, but at least they should reduce the points deducted for his attendance, right?

Now, the biggest problem facing him is how to solve the attendance problem. Even with the help of Nami Takayama, this is not the only assignment he has.

There are still three years of college life left. It is impossible to rely on the other party's relationship to get by every year. Moreover, if you are absent too many times, even if you get full marks on the final project, you will still be at risk of failing the course.
