Why wasn't I the one who got the male lead's script?

……

……

On the same night, in a house on the other side of the city.

In the dark room of a black-haired boy wearing glasses, only the light from the computer screen was particularly glaring.

Sitting in front of the computer desk, he turned his head stiffly and glanced at the lit mobile phone screen on the desk.

He sent many messages to a person named Kato Megumi, such as "Kato, what are you doing now?", "Are you asleep yet?", "I'm in a bad mood today, can you please listen to my troubles?"

But after waiting for half an hour, I only got a simple reply from the other party: "I'm sorry, I was taking a shower and didn't see you. I'm going to bed now. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say."

"........."

The fact that even Kato no longer paid attention to him made Aki Tomoya, who was completely desperate, rubbed his messy hair, and finally could only pound the table angrily.

Experiencing the feeling of having nothing in just one or two months was really more than he could bear.

Unprecedented intense emotions were brewing in his chest, constantly washing over his reason.

"No...you need to calm down."

He suppressed the anger and resentment in his heart, and as usual, he was impatient and wanted to find something to do to calm his mood.

But when he clicked on the Wenku Awards page and saw the post that had become a hot topic today, he was stunned.

"...?"

He patiently spent almost half an hour looking from the first floor to the last floor, and his expression became more and more intriguing.

What was discovered.

His eyes sparkled with surprise yet excitement as if he had discovered something.

"……found it."

The person who seems invulnerable actually has some flaws.

Almost driven by a thought in his mind, his hands slowly placed on the keyboard——

Then he pulled it back suddenly as if he had been electrocuted.

"No, no... We can't do that."

The remaining rationality and kindness in his mind reminded him of this.

If you try to lead the discussion too obviously, you will definitely be criticized.

Akitomo cannot bear the consequences of that.

"but……"

At the same time, a somewhat terrifying idea was brewing in his mind.

"——As long as we don't get discovered, that's all that's needed."

Although a kind voice in his heart kept telling him to stop, Tomoya Aki's mind was occupied by another thought at this moment.

That's right, he's fallen so many times... No matter what, he can't let the culprit who made him look like this easily off the hook.

It was that person who ruined his own future.

If it weren't for that person... he wouldn't have fallen to this state.

Why should he be magnanimous now?

That person left behind a handle, which was creating an opportunity for others to take advantage of...isn't it?

“…Gu.”

Aki Tomoya swallowed his saliva and gradually touched the keyboard with trembling hands.

"You are heartless... so you can't blame me for not caring."

What I did was a give-and-take, a "return gift" to that guy.

You can't blame him, he was forced to do so.

Tomoya Aki, who had been trying to convince himself with this argument, finally listened to the devil's whispers with hesitation.

He tapped lightly on the keyboard.

Although your guesses are almost right... the specific direction of the plot is still completely different!

This is not abusive master raising a son, how can you say it is abusive master (funny)

It's okay, I told you volume 4 is the best part, and it is! (At most, it's a little bit uncomfortable in the early stages.) Now that a new volume is out, please support me!

Xing Jianqing Can't Be Alone Again: Prologue: New Life and Old Grudges

After that, everything returned to normal, as if puberty syndrome had never appeared in Kasumigaoka Utaha.

The summer vacation is over, and students are welcoming the new life of the new semester with either complaints or joy. Everyone has sorted out their feelings, packed their backpacks and headed to school after being away for a whole semester.

Today is the first day of school, and I’m in the bookstore around eight in the morning.

The black-haired boy in the summer uniform of Toyosaki Academy yawned, straightened his hair which was a little curled up from sleep, and pulled out a book from the "Light Novel Column by the Super Popular Writer Kasumi Shiko" on the bookshelf.

That is the second volume of "Heartbeat Warning", a new work recently released by Shiko Kasumi. The story told in this book can probably be summarized as the most standard boy meets girl type.

The ordinary high school male protagonist, Shizuku Kisaragi, is a transparent person in the class. The only thing that people talk about is his name which sounds a bit like a girl.

Until one day, the beautiful girl with long golden curls who was usually arrogant and dismissive in class suddenly turned into a child and appeared at his doorstep - a romantic comedy slowly unfolded.

Although the setting and plot development are somewhat familiar to some specific people, the sales of this book have exploded recently, as if no one remembered the short month that Kasumi Shiko disappeared.

Perhaps the public only regards this short retirement as a period of burnout for Kasumi Shiko.

The opening ceremony would not start until around nine or ten o'clock, so the boy lazily followed his biological clock and slept until he woke up naturally. He was still lingering in the convenience bookstore.

"So I really have become a prototype without even realizing it..."

He flipped through a few pages casually, then smiled, let out a sigh, shook his head and put it back to its original place.

The character design really makes Xingjian feel too familiar, there's really nothing I can do about it. (laughs)

Incidentally, the heroine is a hot-tempered young lady who pretends to be a rich girl at school, but actually enjoys board and video games, even swearing in online games. Therefore, the book also contains a lot of interesting and unrelated facts about board and video games, and these little bits of popular science interspersed throughout the book have won praise from many readers.

It seems that Teacher Kasumi Shiko has not missed any knowledge that can be absorbed.

The boy glanced at the few remaining copies of "Heartbeat Warning" and put his hands back in his pockets with a faint smile. Just as he turned around and was about to leave the convenience bookstore,

A beautiful golden figure appeared outside the window and waved at him, attracting his attention.

That was the blonde girl wearing the Shuchiin Academy uniform, jumping up and down with joy, waving at him.

"Hey - good morning! Let's go to school together, Xiaoqing~!"

“…Sister.”

Xingjian raised her eyebrows in surprise, but still smiled and walked out of the convenience bookstore and came to her.

"Why did you suddenly remember to go to school with me today?"

"Because I want to be with Xiaoqing. Is that not possible?"

"I don't mind, but Shuchiin and Toyonosaki are going in different directions."

As soon as he walked out of the bookstore, the blonde girl pounced over to him and put her arms around his collar in an especially intimate and natural manner.

"What does it matter? We can just finish our journey together and then go our separate ways."

Hayasaka Ai, who had obviously switched to hot girl mode, blinked, then took her younger brother's wrist and pulled him forward.

"I feel like you've been extra gentle to me lately, sister."

Although Hoshimi seemed a little flattered, she still let Hayasaka pull her along, and the two walked side by side on the sidewalk.

There were also many high school students with backpacks talking and laughing on the street. Some of them went to school together, so the two of them were not particularly conspicuous.

"No sister can refuse a cute brother~"

Miss Hayasaka smiled and stretched out her hands to knead the boy's face, and the latter could only protest with a helpless and innocent expression.

"Besides, I really can't just leave Xiaoqing aside. If no one dotes on Xiaoqing, then isn't it only natural for my sister to do it?"

"If you describe me as a child who lacks love, I'll get goosebumps all over my body..."

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaoqing, you just need to accept your sister's love~"

"Eh... Why does it sound like a gigolo who's just passively eating free food?"

It would be better to say that Miss Hayasaka, who always smiles brightly at herself, is like a wealthy woman who is willing to support a gigolo.

"Actually, Xiaoqing, it's okay if you want to be a gigolo. At most, I can change my identity and provide you with food and accommodation."

"Hmm...it's really hard to choose between a man's dignity and good food and shelter..."

"Anyway, if anything happens, it's totally fine to rely on me."

Perhaps guessing that Hoshimi would get away with it in this way, Hayasaka didn't pursue the matter further and just tilted her head with a smile.

"If you feel overwhelmed fighting alone, it's okay to know that I'm by your side."

The black-haired boy blinked, but in the end he just gave Hayasaka a reassuring smile in return.

"If possible, I don't want to be dependent on you, my sister."

"Your crow's mouth is annoying~"

"I'm not the one with the crow's mouth. Wasn't it you, sister, who just made the assumption?"

The two of them were like a normal pair of siblings with a good relationship. They chatted as they walked towards the school, and finally waved goodbye to each other at the fork in the road.

To be honest, everything he experienced this summer was a little unbelievable to him.

His sister, with whom he had such a distant relationship, had unknowingly become so much closer to him in just one summer vacation, and the interpersonal relationships he had established with Eriri and Shiyuu last semester had changed drastically in just a few months - all of this seemed too good to be true to him.

When the first semester started, I was just an unremarkable passerby who was ignored by everyone.

"……call."

Thinking of this, the boy moved his hand holding his schoolbag, and his steps towards school gradually became light and steady.

——For the first time, I am looking forward to the arrival of the new semester.

He followed the crowd into the gate of Fengzhiqi School, looked at the playground which was not much different from when he left during the holidays last semester, entered the teaching building, walked through the corridor and found his classroom.

There were still a few students left in the classroom packing their bags, and the others who arrived earlier seemed to have gathered in the auditorium.

Xingjian found his seat easily, sat down, put his schoolbag in the drawer, and planned to rush to the auditorium as soon as possible.

"...?"

It was at this moment that he felt that the classroom, which was originally filled with the noisy conversations of his classmates, gradually became much quieter.

After Xingjian raised his head, the strange looks from other classmates from time to time made him feel a little confused.

As soon as he walked into the classroom, they stopped what they were doing and glanced at him from time to time as if he were "a certain kind of person."

"........."

And this kind of look - Xingjian is actually not unfamiliar with it at all.

The boy's expression didn't change much, but his Adam's apple moved slightly inadvertently.

It seems that a lot of things will change in the new semester.

He already had this premonition at this moment.

I'm really sorry for updating so late today orz. I have to go back to school and my head is dizzy after driving all day.

The 17th might be a little late, after all, I have to take a plane back to school orz I apologize to everyone in advance

Xing Jianqing Can't Be Alone Again: Chapter 1: Forward or Retreat? (Part 1)

A new semester brings new atmosphere, but some new things also seem to be quietly emerging.

At least that's what the boy named Hoshimi Haru thinks.

From the first day of school, he felt something was strange.

I am the one who is usually ignored by others. Even if I sit in my seat and immerse myself in the ocean of knowledge all day (staring blankly with textbooks), no one will pay attention to me. However, there have been some subtle changes recently.
