He also completely modeled the character of Kato Hui's personality after the real-life Kato Megumi, making her seem plain and unassuming, with an air of invisibility.
Even though Ye Ziye was planning to give this character more screen time, as the author himself, he felt that this character was just a typical background character.
Shaking his head, Ye Ziye decided to stop thinking about these things and wait for the professionals to evaluate them tomorrow.
Today was a very uneventful day, just as Ye Ziye expected for her life.
Get up and make dinner.
Ye Ziye decided that it would be better to make a more elaborate dinner tonight, just in case something strange happened after school started tomorrow.
Garfield lay in his cat bed. He didn't need to work; he had just finished his dinner and, smelling the aroma of Ye Ziye's cooking, he gradually drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 54
April 27th, Monday, plum rain season.
Today was destined to be a busy day, so Ye Ziye got up early.
After finishing breakfast, preparing lunch, and filling Garfield's food bowl, Ye Ziye got ready to go out.
The weather wasn't very good, and Ye Ziye's mood was also rather so-so. No matter what, Sunday is always better than Monday, and sunny days are always better than rainy days.
As the tram swayed along, Yoko arrived at Shuchiin Academy.
Today he is no longer the first one; expensive luxury cars can be seen everywhere at the school gate.
Some students walk to school, and most of them have bought houses around the school. In China, this would be called a "school district house".
As Ye Ziye entered the school, she saw a familiar figure.
Kaguya Shinomiya, who had just stepped out of an expensive Maybach, seemed to have seen Ye Ziye and nodded slightly to him.
Ye Ziye was in the same boat. The two weren't very familiar with each other, and he originally thought that Shinomiya Kaguya would simply ignore him.
Class 1B
There were already quite a few people in the class at this point.
Yui Yuigahama, whom I met just yesterday, was talking to people in the industry when she saw Ye Ziye come in and waved.
He didn't pretend to be aloof; after nodding to Yui Yuigahama, he returned to his seat.
You can hear the girls talking from afar.
"Huh? Yuihama, do you know Yoko?"
How did you meet?
Ye Ziye listened for a few sentences and then stopped listening. He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on girls' conversations, but he found Yui Yuigahama's flustered response somewhat amusing.
Good morning, Yezi.
Kato Megumi arrived unusually early today, I don't know why, maybe this girl knows how to set an alarm clock now.
"Good morning."
Ye Ziye said the same thing, and then took out his novel notebook.
He hadn't had any inspiration at home, and he thought that coming to school might give him some inspiration for the later school storylines, but he was wrong.
The cherry blossoms outside were still in full bloom, and after being wet by the rain, they had an even more beautiful pink hue, but they couldn't inspire Ye Ziye.
Swinging the pencil in his hand, Ye Ziye stared blankly at the passing crowd.
Perhaps it's because they're still reminiscing about their wonderful holiday, or perhaps it's for some other reason.
"Ye Zijun, what are you holding in your hand?"
Kato Megumi's soft voice reached Ye Ziye's ears, pulling him out of his idyllic daydreams.
"Oh, this is the novel I wrote."
"novel?"
Kato Megumi raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued; after all, it was quite unusual for a friend to write novels.
Moreover, thanks to Ye Ziye's influence, Kato Megumi is now a die-hard novel fan.
What kind of novels do you write?
"Light novels".
To be honest, Ye Ziye wasn't arrogant enough to write traditional literature, nor did he think others would believe he could write traditional literature.
"Light novels are good; they could be adapted into anime or something."
Kato Megumi offered timely encouragement, and then spoke again.
"May I take a look?"
"can."
Ye Ziye placed the novel she had polished yesterday on Kato Megumi's desk, waiting for feedback from her first reader.
Although Kato Megumi was someone he knew quite well, Ye Ziye didn't feel ashamed at all about having her read his novel; on the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.
There was still some time before class started, and Ye Ziye's novel only had a beginning, a little over ten thousand words. Even if you read it carefully, it wouldn't take more than ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, Kato Megumi put down her notebook, her expression unchanged.
"Ye Zijun's writing is very good. It's a smooth read with beautiful prose. However, I feel a sense of loneliness flowing through the words, but I really like that feeling."
Kato paused for a moment, then continued...
"But there's one thing I want to know: was the final character, Kato Hibiki, based on me?"
"Yes."
Ye Ziye never considered denying established facts, or rather, he wanted to hear Kato Megumi's feelings about her work.
"How should I put it... it's quite strange to see myself in someone else's work, and the character in the work is also bland and lacks presence. Although that's true, it still feels a bit odd."
Megumi Kato gave a very fair assessment.
"Anyway, thank you Yezi for including me in your work!"
"Ah."
Ye Ziye didn't know why Kato Megumi was thanking her.
Perhaps it was because, like when they were kids, the teacher assigned an essay about good friends, and one student wrote about his deskmate in the essay, so his deskmate was very grateful.
Ye Ziye felt that Kato Megumi might have this kind of mentality.
However, Kato Megumi's evaluation was quite useful. In the end, such a bland personality is strange in real life, but in online works, it might just be a cute point.
With that thought in mind, the first class began.
The first class on Monday was Hiratsuka Shizuka's Japanese language class. However, this woman seemed to have adjusted her mindset and did not show any difference. After the first class, she did not ask Ye Ziye to go to her office when get out of class ended, which made him feel relieved.
The day passed quickly, and Ye Ziye seemed to have passed her period of bad luck, with a peaceful daily life ahead.
After school, Ye Ziye went to the student council's activity room. Shinomiya Kaguya was still grading documents, while Fujiwara Chika was playing around aimlessly. She had completed her homework independently for the day.
Ye Ziye couldn't understand what the secretary's job was in the student council.
"Ah! Ye Zi-kun, want to play a game?"
Upon seeing Yoko, Fujiwara Chika seemed to have discovered some interesting toy, her big eyes sparkling.
Ye Ziye felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze. He had always thought that Fujiwara Chika was a very peculiar girl, and he didn't know where this feeling came from.
"No, I still have to do reports. I didn't do them last time because I was teaching you how to do your homework."
At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been silent all along, also spoke.
"Fujiwara-kun, don't bother Yoko-kun while she's working on the report. It's about the entire club's plan for the next quarter. Besides, aren't the midterm exams coming up soon? You should go study!"
Ye Ziye silently expressed his gratitude for Kaguya Shinomiya's righteous act.
Chapter 55
After finishing the report, Ye Ziye didn't stay in the student council classroom any longer. Instead, she went out to work at the pet cafe.
The atmosphere in the student council room wasn't very good; if Fujiwara Chika didn't speak, the room would remain silent for a long time.
Sometimes Ye Ziye could tell that Fujiwara Chika was also in a difficult position, as this girl wanted to maintain good relationships in that small room.
However, Ye Ziye also knew that he and Shinomiya Kaguya were both slow to warm up to each other, making it difficult for them to get along.
If you really want to get along well, it takes time to mature, not just a few words. Come to think of it, he and Kaguya Shinomiya haven't really exchanged many words.
However, he didn't care much about the atmosphere of the student council; it didn't affect him because he had experienced the same atmosphere countless times.
Back home, Ye Ziye changed her clothes and, carrying her notebook where she was writing her novel, went to the pet cafe.
To be fair, the construction team that Kudo Nami hired was very fast. They completed the renovation in just two days, and there wasn't even a trace of the renovation visible from the outside.
Ye Ziye glanced at his phone. There was still some time before work. Although he kept thinking he was going to be late, it turned out that he had always been a punctual employee.
Pushing open the door, the shop had been completely transformed. This woman had not only replaced one wall with bookshelves, but also renovated all the tables and chairs in the room.
"Good evening, Master Ye!"
Nakamura Nanami ran out of the staff break room full of energy, holding Ye Ziye's apron in his hand, and kindly put it on him.
Ye Ziye gladly accepted, considering it a form of payment for her teaching services.
As the owner, Kudo Nami is still tending to the flowers and plants. This renovation has prompted her to change all her plants to a different variety, and she seems to be quite busy these days.
"Ye Zi, how's the new store?"
Nami Kudo raised an eyebrow, looking quite pleased with herself; she was always very confident in her own taste.
"good."
Ye Ziye looked at the wall full of books and nodded in satisfaction. Although Kudo Nami always seemed to be looking for trouble, it was undeniable that this woman had excellent taste.
Kudo Nami proudly raised her head, seemingly regaining her authority as the store manager.
Ye Ziye shook his head, ignoring the childishness of Kudo Nami, a twenty-five-year-old woman. The guests were about to arrive, and before that, he needed to instruct Nakamura Nanami on her coffee-making skills.
"Nakamura, how's your coffee machine practice going?"
