The novel's delicate and realistic description shows the deep and unique relationship between Dalia and Pantaloni.
Their feelings transcend time and space and become the most important part of their lives.
Every contact and every eye contact between the two was filled with emotional sparks.
Even Lady Funina was deeply moved by it. According to a senior staff member of the Momang Palace who wished to remain anonymous, Lady Funina read the novel all night last night and was planning to vote for the protagonists Dalia and Pantaloni to become the top of the list.
Our reporter Charlotte reports for you."
Funina put down the Steam Bird Newspaper in her hand with a frown on her face, feeling speechless.
She really likes watching "Brokeback Mountain: ...", but she doesn't want the public to know about it.
What if people think she is a "rotten" Nina?
Her reputation in this life is about to be ruined!
snort!
It’s all the fault of the anonymous light novel author of Inazuma.
If I see him myself, I must ask for his autograph, no, I must hold a trial!

Liyue Harbor.
In front of the gate of Wanwen Yashe, there was a crowd of people.
From upstairs to downstairs, no matter which angle you look at, what comes into view is the bustling crowd.
People consciously lined up in long queues, patiently waiting for the sales event to begin.
Recalling the last time such a grand occasion occurred, it was when "Night Shift Ward:..." was being sold.
This time, it is also a highly anticipated new book, but the difference is that almost all the readers queuing up to buy it are female readers.
Occasionally there are men, but they always come in pairs.
Among the people queuing, a pair of handsome young men stood out. They were of similar age and height, and both had delicate faces and elegant temperaments.
"Xingqiu, why did you have to drag me over to buy the novel? It feels like the people around us are looking at us strangely." Chongyun asked in confusion after feeling the gazes of the people around him.
Xingqiu raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a brilliant smile, "Because I am very happy to have you by my side."
"Xingqiu, could you please not ask me for such trivial matters? I'm actually very busy. As an alchemist, I have to go out and slay demons and eliminate evil." Chongyun frowned, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
Xingqiu's smile faded slightly. He lowered his head, pinching the corners of his clothes with both hands, looking a little disappointed. "Is killing demons more important than me?"
Chongyun answered without hesitation, "Of course, slaying demons and eliminating evil is more important."
After hearing these words, Xingqiu froze in place, his heart chilled as autumn frost.
However, Chongyun's next words surprised him greatly, "This way you won't be harassed by demons."
"Silly boy!" Xingqiu said coquettishly with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Chongyun felt something was wrong all over.
He treated Xingqiu as a brother, but he didn't expect that his brother wanted him to give him to...

In the Hall of Rebirth, Zhongli sat at his workstation, his deep eyes reflecting the light novel "Brokeback Mountain:..." in his hand.
His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and his emotions fluctuated because of the experiences of the protagonist in the story.
At this moment, Hu Tao's figure suddenly appeared at the door. She rushed in hurriedly, full of energy as usual.
With a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion on her face, she asked loudly, "Zhongli Keqing, why did you buy Brokeback Mountain: ...? I told my boss that I wanted to buy it. I went to visit clients today, and people outside were saying that I was already a rotten girl at such a young age."
Zhongli raised his head with a hint of smile in his eyes. He shook his head gently and said, "Master Hu Tao, of course, your reputation will be affected because I bought this kind of novel. But your reputation will not be affected because you are already a household name, and you are a ghost."
Hu Tao thought about it and it seemed to be the case. Normally, people would stay away from him when they saw him, fearing that he would come to them.
However, I really don't want to let him get away with it so easily.
Looking at the light novel on the table, she made up her mind to go all out, so she snatched it away and ran away.
"Zhongli Keqing, don't chase me like you did last time. I will return this book to you after I finish reading it."
Zhongli looked at her leaving figure and shook his head helplessly, "Oh, what a jerk this guy is. The bill for the novel is in her name. Why would she run like a thief when she has her own book?"
Chapter 108 No Other Woman
The shadow went down the mountain. A gentle breeze blew in from the mountains, bringing with it the fresh scent of flowers and plants, gently blowing up Kamisato Ayaka's ice-white hair. The hair fluttered gently in the wind, like a beautiful painting.
Kamisato Ayaka turned her head and looked at the young man next to her.
"Qianshu, come to think of it, this should be the first time you ask your fiancée out." She smiled mischievously, with a hint of teasing in her tone.
When Ueno Chiki heard this, she felt very guilty. In this relationship, she was the one who made all the sacrifices, while she was enjoying everything with a clear conscience.
"I'm sorry, Linghua." He whispered, his voice filled with deep apology.
Kamisato Ayaka smiled faintly and asked, "So, have you figured out how to compensate me?"
Ueno Chiki was stunned. He didn't expect Kamisato Ayaka to ask this. He lowered his head, his heart in confusion.
He knew he couldn't give her the compensation she wanted, so he had to remain silent.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Kamisato Ayaka's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, "It was just a joke on my part, you don't have to take it seriously."
The more tolerance and understanding Kamisato Ayaka showed, the more guilty he felt.
He felt like a man who had committed an unforgivable crime, standing before her, unable to lift his head to look at her.
"Linghua, I..."
For a moment, he almost impulsively said something irresponsible, but fortunately he controlled himself.
Unconsciously, the two of them walked into the quiet town forest. What came into view was a dense forest with towering ancient trees and lush greenery. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
In this forest, there is a quiet path winding.
On both sides of the path, crystal blue flowers are blooming quietly. They are like twinkling stars in the night sky, emitting a faint and mysterious light.
It was quiet all around, with only the occasional chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects.
"Chiki, what do you want to say to me on the night of the New Year's Festival?" Kamisato Ayaka stopped and turned to face Ueno Chiki.
Ueno Chiki looked at her, her face was as bright as the moonlight and as fresh as the morning dew.
The words in my heart lingered in my throat, but I couldn't say them.
He knew he needed to say the words, but he was afraid of hurting him.
Kamisato Ayaka's ice-blue eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.
He took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't hesitate any longer.
He mustered up his courage and finally said, "Linghua, what I want to say to you is..." His voice was trembling, but his eyes were firm, "I have always liked you, but I don't just like you."
After hearing these words, Kamisato Ayaka felt bitter.
In fact, she had vaguely sensed this a long time ago, but when he really said it, she still found it a little hard to accept it.
a long time.
"Qian Shu, you are really a scumbag."
"Obviously, I am your fiancée, and obviously, I am the first person who truly likes you!"
"But why? Why?"
Kamisato Ayaka could no longer suppress her inner emotions and kept questioning him. Her tears slid down her cheeks and fell like pearls from a broken string.
Her tearful look made Ueno Chiki feel heartbroken.
"Linghua, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't do this, but..."
Kamisato Ayaka didn't say anything else, but turned around and walked forward.
Ueno Chishu, who stayed where he was, was stunned for a moment, then immediately chased after her. He had a feeling that if he let go today, he would lose her forever.
Soon, he saw Kamisato Ayaka in front of a shallow stream.
At this time, she was holding a folding fan, and the clear stream water flowed over her jade feet.
"Qian Shu, I want you to look after me carefully!"
Then, she became like a noble and dignified fairy, her clothes flowing and light as a cicada's wing, swaying gently as she danced, and her steps were light and graceful.
Every movement she makes is full of grace and gentleness, like a beautiful butterfly dancing among the flowers.
Ueno Chiki was amazed by her dancing. He had seen this scene before in the game of his previous life, but it did not cause him much emotional fluctuation.
But when he actually saw her, he truly understood how breathtakingly beautiful Kamisato Ayaka was.
Soon after, Kamisato Ayaka's dance reached its climax. She suddenly raised her folding fan, and a stream of icy cold air gushed out from it.
Then, a pure white ice flower bloomed with her as the center. This ice flower seemed to appear out of thin air, without a process of withering or blooming, it just suddenly appeared in the air, like a beautiful phantom.
Ueno Chiki may never forget the scene before her.
After Kamisato Ayaka finished her performance, she put away her folding fan and sighed softly, "Besides Xiao Gong and the Traveler, there are no other women, right?"
Ueno Chiki was about to answer truthfully, but he quickly sensed the murderous intent contained in it and answered decisively: "There is no other woman."
If he still has someone he likes, he should not be considered a human being.
Chapter 109: Fireworks Wish
In the afternoon, a few leisurely white clouds floated in the sky, and the warm sunshine shone quietly on the Naganohara Fireworks Shop.
The gray-haired Naganohara Ryunosuke is sitting at the door of the store, enjoying the quiet and peaceful years.
At this time, the arrival of a handsome man broke the tranquility. He was wearing a green kimono, with a gentle face and a slightly scholarly temperament.
"Uncle Ryunosuke, is Yomiuri here?" Ueno Chiki walked up to Naganohara Ryunosuke and spoke in a loud voice.
Naganohara Ryunosuke had poor hearing due to his old age, so he unconsciously moved closer to Ueno Chiki, trying to hear what he was saying clearly, "Ah? Chiki, what did you say? Are you here to look for Xiao Gong?"
Ueno Chiki nodded.
