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

Chapter 58: Offense and Defense Change!

You're not afraid of me dying of stuffing if I eat such a big piece of cake.

After reading the so-called interview, Long Chuan Che took a deep breath.

Taro Ono spared no effort in praising him in the so-called "interview".

It looks great, and it has brought a huge amount of attention to his upcoming book.

But if Ryukawa Toru's debut work doesn't live up to the praise, then his career as a writer is almost half ruined.

He said it so harshly, it turns out he is a CJB.

Longchuan Tetsu looked towards Tokyo and could almost imagine the elegant middle-aged man saying while writing a book:

It's you who chose it, Ryukawa Tetsu, and you have to make Japanese writers see you as if they were seeing the blue sky.

Ryuukawa Toru handed the magazine to Matsueda Muko who wanted to take another look. Unlike ordinary writers, he did not have the exposure of the newcomer award.

Stuck in the middle of the New Year, there was almost no publicity.

This kind of "exclusive interview" with Ono Taro is necessary, as long as "Snow Country" can bear this boast, that is:

"The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe, I can see the Chang'an flowers in one day."

When Longchuan Che was lost in thought, Songzhi Muzi looked at Longchuan Che suspiciously.

"You told me this?"

The girl's hand was pointing at the phrase 'The moonlight is so beautiful, and the wind is so gentle'.

Ryukawa Tetsu once said that it was the short sentence that best represented the implicit preferences of Oriental people.

"He said to his lover: 'The moonlight is so beautiful, and the wind is so gentle', and said to him: 'It is easy to enter the Buddhist world, but it is difficult to enter the demon world.'" Longchuan Che shrugged.

“Art is all processed.”

Ryukawa Toru had never said anything like "I love you" to Matsueda Muko, so Ono Taro was just making it up out of thin air.

“This is not a lie!”

The girl's cheeks puffed up like a little puffer fish.

"How about you tell me something?"

The girl's eyes rolled cunningly again.

"That way it wouldn't be considered cheating."

"Well I like you."

"No emotion at all, poor!"

Although they were boyfriend and girlfriend, they did not have a deep emotional foundation. Longchuan Che felt that the other party was more of a playful person, so he spoke quite calmly.

The world in the afternoon was quiet and casual. The girl was not a literature lover, so she left Ryukawa Toru alone to read the next issue of "Shincho" magazine.

The girl brought a box of oranges and put them in the oven to bake.

"Please peel it for me later."

The girl turned on the TV and watched "Tokyo Love Story" happily.

This is a TV series that was released in 1991 and is one of the most popular long-running TV series in Japan.

"Ah."

Longchuan Che nodded.

During this period, the girl often bought him clothes and gifts, saying that it was what she should do as a girlfriend.

In contrast, Longchuan Che also has to do some things that a boyfriend should do for her.

The roasted oranges are sour and sweet, and the orange segments with the white peel removed are neatly placed on the table.

Longchuan Che looked at the girl who was watching TV with her face tilted to her left with some curiosity.

"Why did you choose me as your boyfriend?"

The girl's eyelashes were straight and straight, and her eyes were blinking when the sunlight turned the wall behind her yellow.

Longchuan Che felt that it looked a bit like a black butterfly, and also a bit like the shadow of the old tree in the courtyard reflected on the ground.

"Because you're pretty."

Watching Rika making a fool of herself on TV, Matsueda Muko chuckled, and the melodious sound of bells echoed in the afternoon.

Time slipped away between fingers as they turned the pages of paper, while Longchuan Che wondered why the other party's parents had not come back and his fingers turned yellow from peeling too many oranges.

There was a snap.

The street lights light up automatically.

"Well it's already so late."

The girl stretched towards the ceiling, revealing a part of her belly that looked like a tall bamboo shoot.

"What are you doing! Pervert!" The girl suddenly covered her front with her hands vigilantly, staring at Longchuan Che.

"He's not my boyfriend."

Longchuan Che blinked twice.

He just took a quick glance and saw the beautiful outline of the girl's belly.

"It's not enough to pay you benefits yet."

The girl's waxy face blushed slightly.

Longchuan Che smacked his lips regretfully.

Most girls are cute and charming, and it is rare to find girls as sunny and full of vitality as Songzhi Muzi.

"You should leave now. Be careful that my brother and the others come back and beat you up."

Perhaps realizing that Longchuan Che was in danger at the moment, the girl waved her hand and was about to send Longchuan Che out.

"Okay, see you after the New Year."

New Year's Day is coming in two days, and the other party would normally be very busy during this period. Longchuan Che shrugged and said goodbye to the other party.

The street light on the telephone pole lit up twice. After hearing what Longchuan Che said, Songzhi Muzi, who was about to get his coat, frowned and thought, then ran upstairs with a bang.

The voice is clear and loud, like a happy pony.

"this is for you!"

The girl reappeared a minute later, holding a small pink box in her hand.

"what is this?"

"You'll know if you open it and take a look."

This was not the first time the girl gave something to Longchuan Che.

The girl's home is well decorated and she attends Yamanashi College, so her family conditions are quite good.

Longchuan Che opened it and found a small black cell phone inside.

"My dad eliminated me. Remember to contact me during the New Year, my boyfriend."

The girl chuckled and made a phone gesture next to her ear. Long Chuan Che pursed his lips and took the phone.

After saying goodbye to his girlfriend, Longchuan Che felt like he was a bit of a gigolo.

He went to a nearby place to get a phone card and called his editor.

"Which one?"

"it's me."

"Ryukawa Tetsu? Where did you get this phone?"

It is now the 19th year of the Heisei era, and mobile phones are not yet popular. It is difficult for Ryukawa Toru to even eat, and it is indeed strange to use a mobile phone to call the editor.

"I won a super prize, and I don't plan to write anymore"

"What did you say!?"

The voice on the other end of the microphone almost broke. Long Chuan Che swallowed and felt that the joke about not writing a book might not be funny.

"I don't plan to contact you by letter anymore."

Longchuan Che patted his chest and continued to maintain his cool and aloof personality as an editor.

"Is that so? I'm scared to death. If you don't finish writing "Snow Country", I will probably go to the teacher to borrow a famous sword to help you."

What kind of editor did I sign with? Will I be able to delay submitting my manuscripts in the future?

Longchuan Che went home while talking on the phone with the other party.

On the way, he realized that the other party had no choice but to make such a big sacrifice.

Someone had his eyes on the manuscript selection rights of Xinchao, and if he failed to save the declining sales, he would allocate some space to other editors-in-chief.

"Then should I get a little more money for my manuscript?"

"Didn't you win the lottery?"

Longchuan Che was chatting with his editor all the way when he opened the door of his house.

He saw Mrs. Takeda sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.

His eyes were smug and his posture was lazy.

"You're back? You little bastard."

Listening to the other party's provocative voice, Longchuan Che saw the guardianship agreement in the other party's hand that he had not seen for a long time.
