After complaining in his heart, he looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was stubbornly handing over the briefcase. Maybe because he had never done such a thing before, his hands were shaking slightly.
Do you want to answer it?
Xiao Shanyi was thinking in his heart.
Although he had promised Machida Sonoko that he would help Kasumigaoka Utaha read novels, things turned out unpleasant later, so it would be more appropriate not to help her.
Xiao Shanyi looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in confusion and said, "Look at you, if you had been more polite at the beginning, nothing would have happened."
"Ah, okay."
Xiaoshan Yi finally agreed. After all, he was a time traveler and didn't look at things like an ordinary high school student. As authors under Machida Sonoko, it wouldn't be good for their relationship to be too ugly.
After saying that, Xiao Shanyi took the file bag.
Seeing that Xiaoshan Yi hadn't made any movement for such a long time, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought she was going to be rejected, but suddenly there was a sudden turn of events and she looked at Xiaoshan Yi in surprise.
"really?"
"Well, don't think too highly of me. My opinion may not be of much use."
Xiaoshan Yida began to advise Kasumigaoka Utaha not to rely too much on himself. After all, his opinion alone does not represent the majority.
"But, there's nothing I can do."
A trace of loneliness and frustration flashed across Kasumigaoka Utaha's face.
"The performance of the second volume of my "Love Metronome" was very unsatisfactory. The library actually had no intention of publishing the third volume. It was only because editor Machida persuaded the editor-in-chief that we had this opportunity."
After saying this, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Koyama Yi with a complicated look. The reason why the editor agreed to Machida Sonoko was because Koyama Yi was an author under her.
Now that I think about it, it turns out that I was able to publish the third volume entirely thanks to Xiaoshan Yi.
The desolation in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes grew deeper and deeper, and then she looked at Xiaoshan Yi and said self-deprecatingly: "In fact, maybe I'm not suitable for writing at all."
After hearing this, Xiao Shanyi frowned and said in a cold tone: "Why, Senior Kasumigaoka, are you planning to give up?"
"Ah, sorry to bother you, Xiaoshan-san. It seems I still don't have the talent to be a writer."
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled sadly.
"Yeah, I think so too."
Instead of receiving any comfort from Oyama Yi, Kasumigaoka Utaha received cold and emotionless recognition.
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Xiaoshan Yi with a little surprise, and the loneliness in her eyes deepened.
"As expected, even Xiaoshan-san said so, I really didn't..."
"Who do you think you are?"
"what?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha stared blankly at Xiaoshan Yi who had an angry face. She didn’t understand why she was still ridiculed by Xiaoshan Yi even though she was planning to give up.
Xiao Shanyi's face was full of disdain, anger, and contempt at this time.
"Who do you think you are, Kasumigaoka Utaha? What? You conclude that you have no talent just because you failed once. What? Everyone in the world can fail, but you, Kasumigaoka Utaha, can't? Others can get up after failure, but why can't you, Kasumigaoka Utaha, ever get up again?"
Xiao Shanyi looked at her with contempt and spoke coldly to Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"I...I'm not..."
"You are nothing. Do you know that some people are still writing day after day just to publish books, just so that others can read their works? And you, with 500,000 sales, are you going to give up now? Are you worthy of those readers who still support you?"
After Xiaoshan Yi finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and looked at the dazed Kasumigaoka Utaha sternly.
"Some people, despite having to bear a 32-year mortgage, working themselves to death every day, being criticized by their superiors, and only having a bottle of beer when they get home every day, never complain because they know they are not alone. They have a beautiful wife and a sensible son waiting for them at home, and in the future they will have an obedient puppy and a lovely daughter."
At this moment, Xiaoshan Yi looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with eyes full of disappointment.
"You who give up easily now may not be as miserable as those who are struggling in the quagmire of failure, but you are still worse than them."
After Xiao Shanyi finished speaking, he raised the file bag in his hand, then thought about it and squatted down and put the file bag on the ground.
"I don't want to read your work at all now. Maybe it's well written, but you don't deserve it. I won't read your future work either. It doesn't matter what anyone says. It's my own words."
After Xiao Shanyi finished speaking, he turned and left. When he reached the door to the rooftop, he paused slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end he left without looking back.
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Xiaoshan Yi's back as he left, and looked down at the file bag on the ground.
Am I really wrong?
A line of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but Kasumigaoka Utaha's originally decadent and negative face slowly blossomed into a touching smile.
Yes, from the beginning I clearly hoped that what I wrote would be recognized by everyone. As long as there is one person who recognizes me, I will stick to it.
Writing is obviously my hobby and my dream, and I am doing what I like every day. But since when did my dream gradually become a job, and now it has become a kind of pressure, so much so that I almost gave up my dream.
But fortunately, there is still time.
Kasumigaoka Shiuha hastily wiped the tears from her face, picked up the manuscript that Xiaoshan Yi had placed on the ground, and chased after Xiaoshan Yi with a determined look in her eyes.
Xiao Shanyi was still full of anger at this time. He was also an online novel writer in his previous life. He would dance with joy if he got one more recommendation ticket, one collection, or a monthly ticket every day. Even though he was a failure, he still persisted in his work.
Therefore, even though he is now a best-selling novelist in this life, he still takes each of his works (although there are only two of them) seriously.
Well, procrastination should be an essential factor for being a good writer.
Alas, seven-tenths of the second volume of Sword Art Online is still to be written. But the first volume isn't on sale yet, so there's no need to rush. When will the first volume be released? I'll ask editor Machida when I have time.
Xiao Shanyi's thoughts went off track. Perhaps he was influenced by the Nohara family. He felt that he now had a funny temperament.
"Oyama-san!!!"
My goodness, this tearing female voice sounded like the heroine in a soap opera calling out to the hero who is on a business trip at the airport.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's shout not only stopped Xiaoshan Yi, but also other students in the corridor, and students in the classroom also came out to watch the fun.
Hey, Kasumigaoka Utaha, even though what I said before was a bit harsh, you don’t have to retaliate against me like this.
Xiao Shanyi felt that his eye corners were twitching more frequently today, and it seemed that the corners of his mouth were also infected.
"Xiaoshan, ha... ha..., I won't give up. I absolutely won't give up."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Xiaoshan Yi with a firm gaze and a rosy face.
“I know I’m wrong, so I won’t give up.”
Xiao Shanyi was about to cry in her heart. Sister, please don’t say anything. If you have something to say, please start from the beginning. You won’t give up anything, so please explain it clearly. I know they don’t know.
Xiao Shanyi felt like crying but had no tears when he saw his classmates gossiping, envious, jealous and gossiping.
"So, this is my gift, please accept it!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha once again handed over the file bag containing her works.
Hey, is it a love letter?
No, it's too thick.
Could it be a scarf?
Why would you put a scarf in a file bag? It should be a book.
Your family expressed their love by giving books.
Xiao Shanyi listened to the discussions of his classmates around him and realized that it was time to take action.
"Ah, so this is a novel written by Kasumigaoka-senpai. You wanted me to take a look, right? I see, hahahaha."
Xiao Shanyi shouted loudly and exaggeratedly.
So that’s it, it’s a novel.
I just wanted to say, there were no signs between them before.
Not necessarily, why does Xiaoshan Yi have to see it?
Although some people still have doubts, it is much better than before, and Xiao Shanyi's expression has also relaxed.
"No, this is my original intention, my dream, and something I once forgot. Now I give them to Xiaoshan, who helped me to cheer up again."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Xiaoshan Yi with firm eyes, and the words she said made Xiaoshan Yi feel cold in his heart.
Look, look, it’s indeed a confession.
The original intention and dream are like a campus idol drama.
Sour and sour.
Xiao Shan Yisheng looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with despair, if you want to give it to me, just give it to me, why are you being so literary!!!
He took the file bag tremblingly and tried to make a final struggle.
"Then I'll wait for Xiaoshan-san's response."
But Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't give Xiaoshan Yi any chance at all, and turned around and left decisively.
Xiao Shanyi looked at the back of Kasumigaoka Utaha leaving, and he seemed to be...
General.
Chapter 29 Organizing Things
I don’t know why, but Xiaoshanyi felt that today’s lunch break was very long and tiring.
"Kato, I'm back."
Xiao Shanyi weakly put his head on the table and threw the file bag into the drawer.
As for the various looks from his classmates, he said he had gotten used to them on the way back to the classroom. Are high school students so idle nowadays? Wouldn't it be better to practice the five-three method if he had the Bagua technique?
By the way, is there a Wu San here? If not, why not publish one yourself?
Hey, why is it a bit cold?
"Kato, it's a bit cold, can you open the window..."
As Xiaoshan Yi spoke, he turned to look at Kato Megumi, and then he understood that the cold was not because the window was open.
Looking at Kato Megumi's dark eyes, if Xiaoshan Yi hadn't known that Kato Megumi's ability was not in her eyes, he would have thought that Kato Megumi had awakened black eyes.
"Turn it off for a moment..."
Kato Megumi looked at Xiaoshan Yi quietly.
