Let's do it again, Yukino.

"Pfft—Hahahaha, I knew it."

Spring Day was amused by Xiaoxue's occasional unintentional cute actions. Intrigued, he put down his phone, reached for the thick stack of "masterpieces" made of wood, which Xiaoxue had mentioned, and slowly flipped through them page by page with a touch of nostalgia.

"Well, there are many flaws, such as typos, words and phrases that are completely meaningless, and many story and character settings that are hard to understand."

"I don't understand, what was Zaimokuza's original purpose in writing this kind of novel?"

"The main material is still suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? Yuki, please be a little understanding. Many teenagers have been through that age. Things that cannot be achieved in reality can only be depicted through novels and one's own pen."

As she browsed through the photos, Chunri didn't frown like Xiaoxue; instead, she continued talking casually with a teasing tone.

When he first wrote a novel, it was after he had been admitted to university. With the help of Cai Muzuo, a struggling writer who had been writing novels for several years, he avoided many of the mistakes that beginners often make.

"However, these are common mistakes made by beginners. The main reason that Yihui made these mistakes is that this is the first time he has shown his novel to others. He will gradually improve in the future."

Finally, after spending half an hour reading the novel by Zaimokuza, Chunri put down the book and slowly sat up from the sofa. He took a sip of rye tea that someone had spilled on the coffee table, while muttering something under his breath.

"Although it's not quite appropriate to say it like this, the short erotic stories that Yi Hui posted on some small websites when he was in college were quite interesting. But what I'm curious about is that even though that guy was still a virgin, he was able to write such exciting content and plots. I guess that's a kind of talent and self-taught skill."

"What are you muttering to yourself over there?"

Xiaoxue looked at Chunri's lewd smile with suspicion and asked in confusion.

"Uh, it's nothing. I just wanted to say that Zaimokuza really doesn't have the talent for writing light novels."

Spring immediately waved her hand, concealing her true thoughts as she replied.

"By the way, if possible, for this novel by Zaimokuza, Xiaoxue, you and Da Laoshi should try not to be too sarcastic. Just follow the comments I just told you. The more sarcastic you and Da Laoshi are, the less likely that masochistic fat guy will give up writing novels. If he wants you to continue reading his novels, you'd better find an excuse to refuse."

The meaning behind Haruhi's words was self-evident; he wanted to indirectly make Zaimokuza give up his plans to write a novel from the very beginning.

At this moment, Yukinoshita was curled up on that soft sofa, her legs, covered in black stockings, intertwined with Haruhi's legs. The girl held Mr. Pan with one arm, while her slender fingers on the other touched the ink-stained paper. Her gaze towards Haruhi was tinged with a complex emotion.

"Are you sure you want to do this? If Yoshiteru Zaimokuza stops writing novels, you and he might not be able to remain friends like before because of this incident."

Yukinoshita wasn't very familiar with Zaimokuza. It was only through Kasuga that she learned about some of the later events surrounding Zaimokuza Yoshiteru. According to Kasuga, after university, Zaimokuza kept boasting about becoming a light novelist. After his light novel was adapted into an anime, he married the voice actress of the female protagonist. However, like Yukinoshita and Kasuga, Zaimokuza Yoshiteru, that cute and kind chubby guy, was devastated by the harsh reality and never recovered.

However, unlike Haruhi's philosophy, Yuki thought that Haruhi's actions might cause him to lose his original friends.

"Now that we've both been reborn, I wanted to try and change the bleak life of my friend Zaimokuza, who's still somewhat of a friend. Perhaps that guy does have some untapped talent for writing novels, but in the end, I still failed..."

Recalling the struggles and hardships he and Xiaoxue went through after graduating from university in their previous life, a shadow fell over his face.

“Many things are not determined by talent. At least Xiaoxue and I can have another chance to avoid the mistakes we made before. But that fat guy is different. He only has one chance. I don’t want to see that loser crying like a little girl with a red face every time I drink with him after graduation. Just like you said about me, he looks so pitiful, like a dog.”

Although it was pitiful and resembled a dog, Haruhi knew it too.

The dog is not just a lumber seat; he himself is also a lumber seat.

Dreams are beautiful, and they should not be desecrated by anyone.

However, sometimes, choosing to give up is the right thing to do at crucial moments.

This is not sophistry, nor is it a condescending statement of opinion.

……

"This isn't like Spring Festival Gala at all."

Yukino sat on the sofa, gazing at the boy for a long time, before a faint smile appeared on her fair face.

"I'm doing this for that fat guy's sake. Of course, if he doesn't give up even then, I won't stop him." Haruhi impatiently picked at her ear, rummaging through the refrigerator for something important. "Häagen-Dazs, Häagen-Dazs, oh dear, Yuki, don't you have Häagen-Dazs in your fridge?"

He didn't want to keep talking about these unpleasant topics with her, so he tried to distract Xiaoxue with other small talk.

"And what about you? Will you eventually give up what you originally wanted?"

She pointed to herself, her every move exuding a captivating charm that shouldn't be present on a young girl's face at her age.

"For example... me? Will you eventually give up on me too?"

Before the words were even finished, the figure who had been squatting in front of the refrigerator leaped onto the sofa, pulling the unsuspecting Xiaoxue and Mr. Pan in her arms into his embrace. Amidst the girl's soft laughter, while his hands roamed over her soft, smooth body, Chunri feigned anger and said...

"Xiaoxue, you think you can count things? Then what are you?"

"You...pervert! Wolf! You needle!! Let go of me!! I'm calling the police!!"

"Then go call the police!! By the time the police arrive, it will be dark."

But just as the two finished joking around, something incredible suddenly happened.

jingle!!

jingle!!!

not far away,

The somewhat rhythmic sound of the doorbell quietly drifted in from the entrance.

The living room was quiet at this moment.

The two who were playing around stopped what they were doing, subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

"You really called the police? Are police response times this efficient these days?"

Swallowing hard, Chunri looked at the girl in his arms with disbelief. Her delicate, lotus-like face seemed as wicked as a venomous snake in his heart.

The most poisonous heart is that of a woman.

"Fine, three years is a huge profit, a death sentence is worth it!! Let's get rid of you before the police come in."

He gritted his teeth and stretched out his devilish hand towards Xiaoxue.

……

"Get the hell out of here!"

Then, our Spring Boy was kicked off the sofa by the angry Xiaoxue, and rolled off the sofa with his butt.

After tidying her slightly disheveled hair and calming her breathing, Yukinoshita frowned slightly as she looked towards the tightly closed door.

jingle,

And that pleasant doorbell sound,

It keeps ringing tirelessly.

(P.S.: I suddenly realized that updating more than three times a day is actually quite good. However, I'd like to have more motivation to update. I heard from other experienced authors that although recommendation votes aren't worth much, they're still quite important for a new author like me. So, I'd like to ask you for recommendation votes. If I get more than 500 recommendation votes in a day, I'll add one more vote to my three daily updates. Thank you.)

PS2: I've seen a lot of people complaining about the prologue, so I've slightly revised some parts of it overnight. Hopefully, this will stop the complaints. If you want to read it again, please refresh the page.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Miss Yang's Visit

"It's my older sister."

Looking through the peephole in the door, Yukinoshita saw the figure standing outside and then looked at Haruhi in the living room with a complicated expression.

"You mean your devilish older sister, Ms. Yang Nai?"

Chunri looked utterly disgusted, as if she had found seven headless flies in her rice bowl, and her pleasant weekend mood vanished instantly.

"What's she doing here on the weekend? Instead of enjoying a social outing with her college friends, she's here? I remember you two weren't on good terms yet, were you?"

"I don't want to see her."

She frowned slightly, but did not immediately ask Yukinoshita to open the door.

"Should we pretend we're not home? Or that we're on a business trip?"

"Business trip? How did you even come up with that? Have you forgotten we're high school students now?"

Looking at the doorbell that kept ringing, Yukinoshita bit her red lips, looked at Haruhi sitting on the living room floor, thought for a moment, and with an unnatural blush on her face, hesitantly suggested to Haruhi.

"Why don't you climb out the window and leave? I'll try to buy you some time."

A profound silence fell over the scene.

"..."

In an instant, Haruhi rubbed her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard. She didn't immediately nod or shake her head at Yukinoshita's request. Instead, she ran to the balcony, looked down, gasped, and then immediately returned to her original spot, her body trembling with anger. She pointed at Yukinoshita with a face full of indignation.

"The 26th floor!! Xiaoxue, do you really want me to die sooner?"

"Truly, a woman's heart is the most poisonous! Are you really trying to kill me? Climb out the window? How could you even think of that? Do you think this is our old apartment? Your high-end apartment is on the 26th floor! You just tried to make me climb out the window, were you planning to send me to another world?"

Springtime was on the verge of crying blood and tears. He had never realized how terrifying Xiaoxue could be when she turned cunning.

"..."

Once she regained her senses, Yukino's blush deepened. She realized that the apartment they were in was no longer the one they used to live in together.

"Why don't you hide behind the shower curtain in the bathroom for now, and no matter what happens outside, don't make a sound?"

"Then wouldn't I become an adulterer? Why should a grown man like me hide away?"

Yukinoshita completely ignored Haruhi's explanations and pushed him toward the restroom.

Then, the girl's willow-leaf-shaped eyes spotted a pair of men's shoes in the entryway. Being thoughtful, she tossed the shoes to Chunri, who was still reluctant to leave.

"Please, I don't care, but if my sister finds out you're here, and she tells Mother about it, knowing Mother as I do, I'll definitely end up being transferred to another school."

For once, Xiaoxue showed a hint of pleading to the boy.

"Please, Kasuga."

Hearing Yukino's tearful expression, Chunri swallowed back the words she was about to say, clicked her tongue, silently picked up the pair of shoes that had been brought to her feet, and ran towards the bathroom.

"If you have no shoes, you have no shoes; if you're an adulterer, you're an adulterer; if you're hiding in the bathroom, you're hiding in the bathroom."

He said this without turning his head.

"Don't run out unless I call you."

After the clouds cleared and the snow fell, he gave further instructions from behind.

"understood."

Haruhi, who had already closed the bathroom door, responded softly from the other end. Sitting behind the shower curtain, he looked at the phone screen in his hand, which was faintly glowing, and sighed inwardly.

Honestly, how could I refuse when she made that face?
