Chapter 23 There is always someone whose heart is filled with you at all times

"Xiujun, please! If you don't help me, I will really be fired!"

When Tanaka Aoi thought that if she didn't convince Kitagawa Hide tonight, she might not be able to enter the door of Kodansha tomorrow, she made up her mind and ran over to grab his arm, pleading in a pitiful voice without caring about her dignity.

There were not many people on the street, so she simply hugged Kitagawa Hide's arm tightly, sandwiched it in the middle of the snowball, and continued to fire like a machine gun.

"Have you forgotten? When we were together, you supported my dream of working at Kodansha and even sold your parents' house to support me to study at a Japanese university.

You said that was your dream, right? Are you going to give up your dream now?
And I don't need you to do anything very difficult. You don't need to sell your house for a loan like before. You just need to sign a contract! This won't do you any harm! There are not many writers in Japan who can get the Ministry of Culture to help them publish their novels!"

Seeing that Kitagawa Hide was determined to run away, Tanaka Aoi could no longer control herself and told everything.

She thought it was a trivial matter.

As long as Kitagawa Hide agrees to the Agency for Cultural Affairs' plan, she can stay in Kodansha smoothly.

Compared to begging him for a loan to help me buy jewelry and clothes, this is nothing?

How could he just deny the relationship that lasted for so many years?
Seeing Kitagawa Xiu paused, Tanaka Aoi felt that there was a play, and immediately hugged him tighter, her voice becoming more charming and soft: "I know that breaking up with you makes you very unhappy, but I have no choice. The social environment is so bad now, and it is too difficult to find a good job. If you still want, I can secretly maintain that kind of relationship with you. On weekends, no, as long as you need, I will serve you, you can do whatever you like, okay? Just help me this time, Xiujun~!"

"Ms. Tanaka. Are you aware that this contract is based on the deprivation of all copyrights to my novels?"

"You know. But you still want me to do this to help you."

"I, no, it's Kitagawa Hide, the most unlucky thing in my life is meeting someone like you. But fortunately, I'm not that unlucky."

Beichuan Xiu pulled his hand away slowly, then looked at her calmly. Seeing a look of panic and despair flash across her face, he immediately smiled and left without looking back, leaving her alone in the wind.

After getting rid of the annoying Tanaka Ao, Kitagawa Hide felt relieved. He quickened his pace and stepped into the door of the rental house before 11:30.

The door was ajar as usual, and Kitagawa Hide, carrying two bags of fried squid, called out skillfully, "I'm back."

"Welcome home, thank you for your hard work, Xiujun~" came the sweet voice of my wife Yumeko.

This is the "Xiujun" he is familiar with!

But why do I feel like there's a hint of resentment in today's greetings?
After changing into indoor shoes at the entrance, Kitagawa Hide took a few steps inside and was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him.

My wife Yumeko maintained her cute duck sitting position and, for the first time ever, did not come over to help him take off his clothes. Instead, she stared at the pile of draft papers on the table with a resentful look on her face.

Oops!

I was in such a hurry to go out today that I seemed to have forgotten to put away the draft paper on my desk!

Kitagawa Hide's heart tightened and his eyes drifted to the draft paper. Sure enough, those were the unfinished "Pinball in 1973" - the second part of the youth trilogy.

pat!

The bag in his hand fell directly to the ground.

Then Kitagawa Hide rushed over as fast as he could, got up from his seat, and knelt respectfully in front of my wife Yumeko.

He didn't know why he did this.

In short, just apologize first!

"Sorry! Ah——"

"I'm sorry! Xiu-ya!"

The two heads accidentally collided with each other, making a crisp sound like the collision of pinballs.

"I shouldn't have kept this from you. I'm sorry, Yumeko!"

"I shouldn't have tampered with your manuscript without your consent. Please forgive me, Xiujun~"

The two looked up at the same time, apologized at the same time, then paused as they looked at each other's panicked look and the same red forehead.

Puff.

I couldn't help but laugh together.

All the possible scenarios I had imagined in my mind did not occur.

Kitagawa Hide looked at Yumeko in a daze, then regained his usual smile, sat down next to her shamelessly, and squeezed in.

Mengzi continued to sit there obediently, and even leaned slightly towards him. She didn't dare to look him in the eye, so she had to continue staring at the pile of manuscripts that she had already read over and over again.

"Uh" Kitagawa Hide has actually been thinking about how to confess this to Yumeko these past few days.

Truth will come to light sooner or later, and there is no need for him to keep it a secret from Mengzi. He has already won the award, why not show it off to his girlfriend? Why is he hiding it?

Moreover, speaking out about this would also help Yumeko, who had just advanced a 27 yen loan for him, to feel more at ease.

But it’s a technical job after all.

His idea was to wait until the bonus was in hand and then give Yumeko a big surprise, and maybe even squeeze them into the same bed - Kitagawa Hide did not hide his desire for this.

Who wouldn't want to quickly get married to a girl who likes him so much?

Then we also have to consider the impact this incident will have on that vicious little woman, Jabami Rei.

Now, one mistake and the house was robbed.

"So, is Xiujun really Mr. Kitagawa?" Mengzi lowered her head and spoke softly, with a little expectation, a little surprise, and a little resentment. "Uh, yes."

"Is what Xiujun wrote in her acceptance speech also true?" Mengzi's cheeks turned even redder.

Kitagawa Hide thought for a moment and wondered what he said in his acceptance speech.

Oh, because of the wake-up call from my girlfriend’s best friend, I felt that I had let down my girlfriend who had always silently devoted herself to me, so I decided to start writing a novel.

"It's true." He nodded in response.

"Is this all true?" Mengzi's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

According to Kitagawa Hide's understanding of her, this girl is now in a 100% shy state. The question is, why is she suddenly shy?
Also, what does it mean that everything is true?
Is there any partial explanation for this thing?
Kitagawa Hide was confused, but he just said what she wanted to hear.

"Of course it's all true."

"Then Xiujun, no, Mr. Kitagawa, that's not right, Xiu" Agatsuma Yumeko felt like her little head was about to be burnt.

When she came home today and saw the messy desk, she immediately helped to tidy it up.

Inadvertently glancing at this pile of scattered draft papers, it was nothing special, Xiujun had been translating foreign novels, but there were a few words in it that she couldn't ignore.

For example, "rat", for example, "bar owner Jay".

I just finished reading "Hear the Wind Sing" not long ago. Recently at school, Professor Takeuchi's courses and homework have also revolved around this new award-winning novel.

And after reading the entire "Hear the Wind Sing", she and Jabami Rei, like millions of other readers, became die-hard fans of Kitagawa Hide.

So I am too sensitive about these words.

Then I couldn't help but finish reading the manuscripts on the table.

Mengzi was almost certain that, although this unfinished novel was not closely connected to the plot of "Hear the Wind Sing", it was undoubtedly its sequel.

Combining the name of the winner and Kitagawa Hide's recent series of mysterious behaviors, everything came to light.

It turns out that Mr. Kitagawa, who suddenly appeared and impressed Professor Takeuchi with just one novel, was right next to her!

I thought about how Li-chan and I had been discussing "Hear the Wind Sing" a few days ago, and those fan-girl-like remarks, while at that time, Kitagawa Hide was sitting quietly on the side writing a novel.

She became even more shy and buried her head lower like an ostrich.

But besides being shy, she felt more panic and anxiety.

All her uncharacteristic behavior today was because she was upset.

Suddenly, Xiujun became the winner of the Group Portrait Newcomer Award and successfully debuted as a novelist.

Moreover, his debut work caused a small shock in the Japanese literary world.

He is a debut writer, he is the winner of the Gunzo Newcomer Award, he is a new novelist highly praised by Professor Takeuchi, and he is a man who will soon have a lot of wealth and women.

Will he still be the Xiujun who is willing to work harder with her in order to live a happy life of petting cats and running a jazz cafe?

While Mengzi was daydreaming, she suddenly felt her body go soft and was embraced by Kitagawa Hide.

At this moment, Kitagawa Hide felt that Yumeko was probably angry with him for not telling her earlier, so he had to bite the bullet and comfort her: "Sorry, Yumeko-chan, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but things are still under discussion, and I don't want to disappoint you."

Then he took the opportunity to tell me about the Ministry of Culture's plan to obtain the copyright.

He wanted to hear Yumeko's advice.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, Mengzi's delicate little nose snorted coldly, and she pursed her lips and whispered, "How can you do this! This is obviously the novel that Xiujun worked so hard to write. Why do you take away your things with just one sentence!"

"I also think this is too much, so I want to go to Kodansha in person tomorrow to discuss this matter. After all, we are short of money, whether it's my debt, the suffering you have endured these days, or our dream of opening a jazz cafe together."

Kitagawa Hide felt warm in his heart. Mengzi's first reaction was to think about herself. This had almost become her instinctive reaction.

For the sake of such a lovely little wife at home, he cannot give up on the copyright income.

"Well! Anyway, no matter what you do or write, Mr. Beichuan, I will support you."

My wife Yumeko blushed, thinking that such love words were weird and embarrassing, but she couldn't help but say them.

After saying this, without waiting for Kitagawa Hide to react, she jumped out of his arms like a rabbit, picked up the bag on the ground and ran to the kitchen.

"I, I'll go heat up the fried squid first!"

Beichuan Xiu nodded and watched her leave, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

You should not be angry anymore, right?

Thinking of the ghost of Tanaka Aoi who had just lingered around, he looked at Agatsuma Yumeko who was running away to do something.

I feel more and more that the boomerang was well hit!

In terms of editorial stance, Tanaka Aoi is not even one-tenth as good as Saito Rena.

In terms of girlfriend's perspective, my wife Yumeko is far better than her.

If you don't cherish the person in front of you, are you going to continue hanging on this tree of hers?
