Chapter 551 I Believe in Teacher Gu Lu
Chapter 551 I Believe in Teacher Gu Lu
Li Shuangyan and Yoneyama Nanako's early morning date... well, it could be considered a date. The former woke up early and arrived at Lawson at the subway station half an hour early to buy a sandwich. He left home too early, so he didn't have time to get something to eat as usual, so he just ate a few bites.
The cold and rough taste of the bite is very similar to the student life in Tokyo. "We met at 8 o'clock, and I arrived at 7:30. Girls are usually late for more than ten minutes because of makeup. I took a break after eating... It was also a coincidence that I could go to see the figures. The time was just right."
There are all kinds of Japanese figures, and he is talking about railway-themed figures, which are limited editions produced by East Japan Railway Company and are only sold at certain stations in Tokyo.
"Ok?"
Li Shuangyan arranged his itinerary and looked through the automatic glass door. He saw a familiar figure under the cherry tree at the entrance.
He stuffed the sandwich into his mouth at a very fast speed and swallowed it without chewing it. Li Shuangyan trotted over.
"Nanako, you're here so early? Bookstores usually open at nine o'clock." Li Shuangyan greeted.
"Mr. Li really likes subway-themed figurines, so I chose to meet here." Nanako Yoneyama said with a smile, "You can go and look at the limited edition figurines during the free time ahead."
Huh? Science fiction? Li Shuangyan's first reaction was, and then Nanako took the initiative to walk in front, who could resist?
There is a Maruzen bookstore about one kilometer away from Motoyamate Station, so you can not only buy your favorite limited edition figures, but also be one of the first readers to arrive at the bookstore.
On the way, the two had the following conversation.
"We don't need to line up so early. The bookstore won't be crowded," said Li Shuangyan.
Nanako Yoneyama said, "As far as I can remember, in the first week of "The Devotion of Suspect X", some readers wanted to get a sneak peek and get the book first, so a fight broke out and the scene was very chaotic. The new book is much more famous than the previous ones, "Myself and Me" and "The Borrower", and I am worried that the same thing will happen again."
After hearing what an Osaka man said, Li Shuangyan understood more intuitively the position of Gu Lu in Neon Jin's heart.
There were already about a dozen people waiting in groups of three or four at the entrance of Maruzen Bookstore, some leaning against the wall, some looking down at their phones, or chatting and laughing in pairs. Li Shuangyan and Nanako were among the latter.
"I just graduated and couldn't find a contract job. The companies I applied to were only willing to do labor dispatch. Life was really hopeless. I hope this book can cheer me up again."
"Actually, watching hot-blooded anime..."
"No, I love literature, so only literature can help me get back on track. I'm going to read "The Life of Matsuko" first, and then find a way to read "The Life of Fugui."
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it. It must be like 'The Prince at That Time', healing. Just thinking about it makes me feel at ease."
……
Although they seemed to be chatting, Li Shuangyan was actually secretly listening to the conversation next to him. The person who arrived early was really Gu Lu's reader, or he was deceived by the publicity.
This lie is not an exaggeration.
The Japanese promotional methods are inherently exaggerated and childish, such as "the healing book of heaven", "the haven for adults", "a healing book equivalent to a million hot spring baths", "the best in Asia, you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't read it", etc.
Both are called Nanako and both like reading. Shop clerk Nanako Shinoru has two different lives. Her father does not allow her to continue her studies, so she has to start working early.
She was doing the final business security check at the moment, looking at the books she had moved over. Xiao Ru Bai Naizi also loved reading, but unfortunately, she was one of the first group to come into contact with the books, having come into contact with them yesterday, but she could not be one of the first readers.
"Crash-"
As soon as the bookstore opened, the "wanderers" were facing the poster of "The Life of Matsuko" on the wall at the entrance. It was a woman with a cheerful smile, the sun shining on her body, and the red words "The Life of Matsuko" below. After crossing the anti-theft sensor door, you can see a pile of pine nuts on the bestseller table.
Li Shuangyan and Yoneyama Nanako each bought a copy.
"This is for Mr. Li," Nanako Yoneyama specially bought a pink gift bag with a bow on the front.
Large bookstores in Japan sell all kinds of things, such as comics, peripherals, and AV.
Well... didn't I buy it myself? It doesn't seem to make sense to have two identical books, but they are not the collector's edition! Li Shuangyan's mind paused for a few seconds, as if a white laser pierced through his brain, and he understood.
"Oh, I'll give this one to you too. It's Teacher Gu Lu's book, a very good work." Li Shuangyan handed over his own.
It's good, we didn't spend much money, and both of us got gifts. This Sakura girl is really pragmatic! She might like me... No, no, Li Shuangyan quickly stopped his excessive thoughts, one of the three major illusions in life: she might like me.
The two went to the video store again. Even though it is the Internet age, there is still a market for vinyl records and discs. No wonder Japan is hailed as the last island of physical entities.
At noon, Li Shuangyan treated Sakura girl to Okonomiyaki.
After dinner, I found a cat cafe and sat down to read a book. I started reading in the sunny day.
There is no preface, but when you open the table of contents, you will see a piece of news:
[A female corpse was found in an apartment in Motoyama-cho, Edogawa-ku
……
According to police analysis, the deceased was a 53-year-old woman who lived alone in the household. The body was neatly dressed, but there were signs of violent attacks all over the body. After an autopsy, it was found that the cause of death was blood loss caused by ruptured internal organs. Therefore, the police determined that it was a murder case and are conducting an in-depth investigation. ]
Even though it is impossible for anyone to doubt now, Gu Lu's works were not created by himself, because his image as a genius is too deeply rooted.
But Gu Lu still paid attention to every detail.
For example, the address in the original book is Adachi-ku, but Gu Lu has been to Neon Company several times, but basically all of them are in Minato-ku, Chuo-ku, and Edogawa-ku. The habit of creation comes from life. Adachi-ku is one of the poorest of the 23 wards in Tokyo, and Edogawa-ku is also poor. There is no problem at all to replace it.
"Oh no... Could this be the heroine Songzi? Hey, Fugui's life was never without the hero." Li Shuangyan secretly looked at Nanako opposite her. She still had a smile on her face and looked very cheerful. Although this was not the right start for a healing novel, Nanako believed in Teacher Gu Lu!
I started the work in the first person, but this "I" is not Matsuko. The relationships between the characters and whether the specific corpse is the heroine are soon revealed.
[Dad frowned: "Really? You are causing trouble to your family before you die."
"What kind of person is Aunt Matsuko? I thought we had no relatives in Tokyo."
"She is a troublesome sister. Forget it, let's not talk about this matter...]
Nanako's smile faded. How could this father be like this! The person was obviously dead. And he still said such sad words.
"Matsuko-san was murdered from the beginning? Is this a plot where the whole world realizes they love me after I die?"
Nanako Yoneyama convinced herself in her heart.
"How about we go back and read it again?" Li Shuangyan understood that this book was also depressing. If he went back and read it, at least he wouldn't cry outside. He also thought the same as Yasasi.
"No! No need." Yoneyama Nanako pinched the corner of the book, "We have to believe in Teacher Gu Lu. Teacher Gu Lu is very cool. There will definitely be a reversal later."
