Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 286: Is the triangle stable?

The door was knocked on quickly and closely.

Longchuan Che was stunned, and Songzhi Muzi was also stunned.

It's late now and there's a typhoon making landfall outside.

"Who's here to see you? Archer."

My girlfriend's voice suddenly became very alert.

Rainy night, typhoon day, woman.

It's not normal no matter how you think about it.

"Yeah, who's looking for me?"

The corners of Longchuan Che's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he went to open the door in his short-sleeved shirt.

The one who could call someone a little bastard was undoubtedly his wife. When Longchuan Che opened the door, the woman was standing at the door holding her high heels.

It was raining outside, and the persimmon tree outside the corridor swayed left and right, splashing water into the room.

The rain mixed with hurricane force winds was so heavy that the women's skirts and clothes were soaked.

Before Longchuan Che had the chance to say anything, his wife impatiently pushed Longchuan Che aside and entered the room.

"Why are you hiding at home? You don't answer my calls or text messages. I've been looking for you for a long time, okay?"

The lady walked into Longchuan Che's rental house, wearing wet stockings and staggering with every step.

The lady had come to this place several times when she had secret meetings with Longchuan Che.

"Do you know that people outside are looking for you like crazy now, the government, the media, the Writers Association..."

The lady's tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction.

The general public hasn’t known about what Ryukawa Tetsu did suddenly today at the University of Tokyo, but the core circles of the literary world are in an uproar.

The re-translation of "The Tale of Genji" and Ophiuchus's defection.

Takako Takeda could already imagine a public opinion fermentation that was a thousand times more powerful than that of "Gunzou Shou".

"You're still acting like nothing happened at this moment. I really don't know what's going on in your heart."

The wife was halfway through her words when she suddenly froze.

She saw that Songzhi Muzi, who was sitting on the sofa, had a strange expression on his face.

Although I knew that Longchuan Tetsu had a girlfriend, I still felt jealous when I saw the two of them together.

"Hello."

Before the lady could say anything, Songzhi Muzi, who had been very alert just now, stood up in a panic.

The girl politely greeted the woman who was staring at her.

Rainy night, typhoon day, woman.

Suddenly, nothing seemed strange to Songzhimuzi.

Because the person who came was Xiao Qian's mother, Longchuan Che, half a family member.

"Hello, Ms. Takeda. I am here to see Archer. Today..."

Classmate Muzi's ears turned red.

In her opinion, the beautiful Takeda Takako in front of her was like an elder, and it was really embarrassing to be caught by her staying overnight with Longchuan.

This is a polite and young girl.

She won't call herself aunt just because she is her classmate's mother.

Takako Takeda sighed and said hello.

She glared at Longchuan Che in reproach.

Takako Takeda went to find her slippers and changed her clothes.

There were three cups of tea on the table, and three people in the room each had their own thoughts.

Songzhi Muzi was blushing and embarrassed, as if she was caught in a relationship by the other party's parents.

The wife was in a weird mood and became a love rival with a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

As for Mr. Longchuan...

Even though he looked a bit beastly, Longchuan Che felt quite good with his beautiful wife sitting on his left and his young and lovely girlfriend sitting on his right.

"Um, what were you doing just now?"

The three of them drank tea without saying anything. It was the eldest lady who coughed and spoke first.

The island nation attaches great importance to seniority and respect for the young. In such a first meeting, except for people like Ryukawa Tetsu who disrespect their elders and like to bully their superiors, the elders usually start to lead the conversation. "We are discussing the five or six seconds."

Songzhi Muzi blushed a little as she held the teacup. For her, sitting at a table was no different from meeting the parents.

He honestly told Takeda Takako what they talked about before she came in. Takeda Takako looked at Ryukawa Toru with a strange expression on her face.

"Five seconds?"

The woman tilted her head and licked her rosy lips when Song Zhimuzi couldn't see.

If I let my wife do whatever she wants, I don’t know where it will go wrong, Longchuan Che sighed and said to his wife.

"Let's talk business."

His wife just mentioned that she came to see him about the exchange meeting in the afternoon.

Since he left the University of Tokyo, countless social organizations and writers have approached him.

This included the social impact brought about by the retranslation of The Tale of Genji, as well as many people who wanted to persuade him to withdraw from the Princeton research team.

Research on the Reconstruction of World Literature of Classical Literary Works

As long as Ryukawa Toru is in this team, Japan will not have much reason to refuse the retranslation of "The Tale of Genji".

Because he is the person who has done the most profound analysis of classical literature and mono no aware culture.

"The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Asahi Shimbun, and many other places and people are looking for you through Kodansha. I want to ask you what your plans are?"

Although she was talking to Ryukawa Toru, Takeda Takako was looking at Matsueda Kiko beside her.

The girl's face flushed slightly as she took small sips of the cup.

When he met Longchuan Tetsu's girlfriend, not only did they not have a physical fight, but she was also very afraid of him.

Are the positions of the principal wife and the mistress reversed?

The wife sighed and turned to look at Longchuan Tetsu.

"Are you planning on meeting them?"

The people at the Ministry of Education were going crazy.

Ryukawa Toru's action is the biggest dereliction of duty by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, academia, culture and sports in Japan.

His first novel was going to be translated by a foreign team. Longchuan Che believed that if he was not famous enough now, it was possible that he would be put in a sack and thrown into Tokyo Bay one day.

"Where are the others? The Writers Association."

The Writers Association is a semi-civilian organization. It was originally founded by the Bungeishunju Publishing House, but later became an association promoted and operated by pure writers.

Most of those who can enter are veteran literati, and no one has invited Longchuan Che yet.

"them?"

Takako Takeda looked a little strange. Some people from the Writers Association also came to look for Toru Ryukawa, but most of them wanted him to take a look at the manuscript.

How does my work compare to Snow Country?
Many writers have this kind of thinking.

People from the Ministry of Education wanted to persuade him to stop, and top literary authors wanted to take away his title as the best representative of mono no aware culture.

Longchuan Che took a sip of tea.

"Can I still participate as a judge for the "Group Portrait Award"? "

Ryuukawa Toru did not respond to his wife's question about how to deal with the situation, but instead asked about other things.

The woman was stunned, not understanding why she should care about this at this time.

However, when asked, the wife still nodded.

"Someone originally suggested that you be kicked off the judging panel even if you breached the contract, but the suggestion was quickly rejected by my sister."

Although Kodansha belongs to the Takashi family, it is mostly run by Takeda Shinki.

Longchuan Che nodded.

"Then no one will be seen."

Longchuan Che’s phone was turned off and the information was lost.

This is why his wife couldn’t contact him either.

"I will leave for Kyoto tomorrow. I will turn down anyone who contacts me through Kodansha."

The stagnant Japanese literary world was thrown into turmoil.

Ryukawa Toru really wanted to know how the government and the Writers Association would react if there was no way to defeat "Snow Country" in literary terms.
