Xiaoxin was playing nearby.
Picnic is really fun, let’s come again next time.
Chapter 21 Sword Art Online
On Sunday, in a quiet and comfortable cafe, several men in the cafe were looking at a female customer who was drinking coffee in a subtle way.
The woman had short hair and a pretty face. Even on Sunday, she wore a clean and tidy women's suit. Her temperament as an urban strong woman gave people a sense of laziness and intelligence.
Do you want to go up and get to know her? Several male customers looked eager.
Okay, I'll go first.
Finally, a man mustered up the courage and stepped forward. Several male customers nearby had a hint of regret in their eyes, wondering why they hesitated.
"excuse me……"
"Hehe, Master Xiaoshan is coming soon. I wonder what kind of good things he will give him this time."
Before the male customer could finish his words, he was frightened by the woman's sudden silly laughter. Of course, there were also other male customers who had been watching the show silently.
This, this woman doesn't have any mental problems, does she?
The male customer's mouth twitched slightly and a trace of cold sweat ran across his forehead.
"Hey! Do you have any questions?"
The woman seemed to come to her senses and looked at the male customer and said.
"Ah? Ah! Miss, would you like a refill of your coffee?"
"No thanks."
"Ok."
The male customer smiled politely and left the cafe.
Hey, did this waiter go straight off work?
Machida Sonoko thought about it strangely.
She looked around the cafe, her eyes sparkling.
There seem to be a lot of outstanding men here. Do you want to make a move?
I must get married this year.
Thinking of her goal for this year, flames flashed in Machida Sonoko's eyes, and she looked at the male customers more aggressively.
So...so scary.
"Ah, isn't this Kong Mu? Long time no see."
"Ah? Ah! It's Yuuma, it's been a long time, do you want to go for a drink?"
"Okay, okay, let's go now."
Then, under Machida Sonoko's stunned eyes, all the male customers in the store left the cafe in groups of three or four, arm in arm.
What's going on? A class reunion?
Machida Sonoko thought about it and watched her prey run away, and suddenly she lay on the table like a salted fish.
Xiao Shanyi arrived at the coffee shop at the agreed time. As soon as he entered the door, he felt the resentment, negativity and decadence in the air.
What a powerful infectious power.
Xiaoshan Yi looked in the direction of the source of the breath and saw Machida Yuanzi staring at him with blue eyes.
I...I shouldn't be late.
Xiao Shanyi looked at the alarm clock in the store nervously. There were still ten minutes until the agreed time.
Otherwise...you'd better just leave.
As Xiaoshan Yi turned around, he heard the hollow, weak, and cold voice of Machida Yuanzi.
"Teacher Xiaoshan...where are you going?"
Xiao Shanyi turned his head mechanically, and he felt his neck creaking.
Machida Yuanzi looked at him with empty eyes. Why did Xiaoshan Yi feel that her short hair was floating? Was it static electricity?
From now on, I will never delay editing Machida's manuscripts, absolutely.
"So, you got yourself into this state because all the male customers in the store suddenly left and you thought about the fact that you're single?"
Xiao Shanyi looked speechlessly at the 29-year-old single female editor who was acting cute in front of him.
"Hahaha, Mr. Xiaoshan is exaggerating."
Machida Sonoko smiled embarrassedly.
Alas, Xiaoshan Yi is also worried about Machida Yuanzi. She is obviously a beautiful woman, but why can't she find a boyfriend? Is it because of her personality?
"Teacher Xiaoshan, did you bring it? Did you bring it?"
Machida Sonoko thought of something and spoke with shining eyes.
"Well, take a look at this, my masterpiece."
Xiaoshan Yi handed a brown paper bag to Machida Yuanzi and drank Coke himself. Don’t ask why he drank Coke in a cafe. The answer is because he loved it.
Machida Sonoko couldn't wait to open the paper bag, took out the A4 paper that still had a faint smell of ink, and began to read quietly.
Sword Art Online? It looks like a fighting game.
Machida Sonoko looked at the four big words on the cover and couldn't help thinking in her mind. Then she looked at it carefully. She was serious about her work.
In this way, Machida Sonoko watched for about half an hour, while Xiaoshan Yi played with his mobile phone.
"Great! As expected of Mr. Xiaoshan, this is indeed a masterpiece."
Machida Yuanzi let out a long sigh and looked at Xiaoshan Yi with admiration.
"It looks like this is another work that will break 10 million."
Machida Sonoko smiled easily. The success of Oyama Yoshi's works also meant that her position in the Fuzugawa Bunko would become more important.
"You are wrong, Editor Machida."
Xiao Shanyi slowly drank a sip of Coke.
Oops! I have a burp.
Seeing that Xiaoshan Yi hadn't spoken for a long time, Machida Yuanzi couldn't help but ask carefully: "What's wrong, Teacher Xiaoshan?"
Just kidding, Xiaoshan Yi is currently the most important author under her, so she naturally takes Xiaoshan Yi's words very seriously.
After forcibly suppressing the urge to hiccup, Xiaoshan Yi smiled slightly.
"I don't think this work is worse than my last one. Rather, I think..."
Xiaoshan Yi gave Machida Yuanzi a look full of confidence.
“It will definitely be more successful.”
When Machida Yuanzi heard what Xiaoshan Yi said, her mind went blank.
What was Xiao Shanyi's last work? "Hikaru no Go" was a super popular work with sales of 27 million. If it is better than "Hikaru no Go"...
Machida Yuanzi looked at Xiaoshan Yi with shining eyes, and she made up her mind that she would absolutely hold on to Teacher Xiaoshan's thighs tightly. Her future promotion, salary increase, and happy life of marrying a pretty boy all depended on him.
Speaking of pretty boys...
Teacher Xiaoshan seems to be a typical gigolo, but no, Teacher Xiaoshan is much more capable than a gigolo. He can write books and make money.
Machida Yuanzi secretly looked at Xiaoshan Yi's figure again.
Well, I can't tell much, but judging from the muscles on his arms, Mr. Koyama is the type who has muscles even when he takes off his clothes.
If I continue to work with Mr. Xiaoshan, it is possible that I will fall in love with him over time. If that happens...
"Hehehehe (?﹃? )"
Xiaoshan Yi looked at Machida Yuanzi, who suddenly blushed and laughed foolishly for some reason, with a hint of crystal at the corner of her mouth and her eyes blurred, not knowing what she was thinking.
It's not unreasonable that Editor Machida still doesn't have a boyfriend...
It would be better for me to have less contact with editor Machida.
Xiaoshan Yi looked at Machida Yuanzi with vigilance.
If Machida Yuanzi knew that Xiaoshan Yi had classified herself as a dangerous person, her plan would have failed before it even began. Xiaoshan Yi would probably have seen again that the collapse of an adult is often instantaneous.
"Teacher Xiaoshan, are you busy later?"
Machida Yuanzi finally came to her senses, seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Xiaoshan Yi embarrassedly.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually, Mr. Xiaoshan, you know I'm an editor, right? I must have some authors under me. Of course, Mr. Xiaoshan, you are the best."
"Well, Editor Machida, just be frank."
Xiaoshan Yi frowned. He didn’t understand what Machida Yuanzi was up to. Could it be?
"Editor Machida, do you want me to recommend other people's works in the book?"
"No, no, of course not."
Machida Yuanzi waved her hands nervously, then asked cautiously, "Teacher Koyama, are you willing to recommend other people's works in your book?"
"It's hard."
Xiao Shanyi didn't say anything definite, but to meet his requirements, one must not only be a good writer, but also have good moral character. If the conditions are met, it is okay to do him a favor. After all, it doesn't matter to him.
"She's another author under my wing. She's also considered a talented newcomer. Perhaps Ms. Xiaoshan has read "Love Metronome"?"
"No."
"It's like this. Her work "Love Metronome" has already released two volumes, but the first volume received good reviews, but the second volume's performance was a bit disappointing. Therefore, the quality of the third volume is very important to her, otherwise she will stop selling it. So I hope that Mr. Xiaoshan can help her take a look and give her some suggestions."
"Ah, is that so..."
After listening to this, Xiaoshan Yi said nothing and sat quietly in his seat, while Machida Yuanzi looked at Xiaoshan Yi anxiously.
