All the people who like me are other people’s girlfriends! ?

The blue-haired girl stretched and whispered to herself, "I almost fell asleep waiting."

——It was like the legendary fourth primogenitor had resurrected.

Although she was a little dissatisfied with Atong's forced postponement of her entry for a year, she was still confident that she would transform into a disaster beyond the world, sipping, killing and destroying in a distant city!

“So, let’s get started!”

Banaijian clenched his fists tightly, then lay down limply again.

[Do you want to pay 5 cat coins to enter the simulation? ]

She answered silently yes.

[Simulation starting...]

[Entry generation in progress, entry generation completed...]

[Knowing the Pearl: You have the ability to spot immature but promising works among the vast sea of ​​manuscripts. At the same time, you possess the flash of inspiration that helps authors break through bottlenecks (very rare to trigger)]

Oh! You actually have talent?

Seeing this, Ba Nai's eyes lit up. She was indeed the heroine of destiny! This way, she could help that guy even better!

[New feature unlocked: You can use a certain amount of cat coins to redeem entries for the hero]

“Is this cultivation?”

Banai glanced at it with interest. Unfortunately, the requirements were too high. With her current points, she could only exchange it for some useless white talents...

The next second, she heard the sound of the simulation starting, and quickly wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, closing her eyes in anticipation.

I can embark on the journey with him again.

Just thinking about this makes me extremely happy.

In a trance, she seemed to have crossed the long deep ocean and came to another world.

At the same time, Burnt Salt Lemon heard the voice in his head and blinked.

…She can watch a new simulation? And even enter a seven-day timeframe!?

*

Mottled remnants of snow hang on the branches of the cherry trees, and gradually melt into water droplets as the morning sun shines. The air is cool, the grass and trees are regrowing, koi fish swim leisurely in the pond, and bamboo tubes sway up and down. The courtyard seems to be integrated into spring, with extremely bright and rich colors.

On a clear morning, the young man walked along the quiet bluestone road. The wind blew the cherry blossom petals, which fell lightly on his head.

Qingye walked to the eaves and raised his head. The beautiful woman in kimono in front of him smiled at him like a mother.

The one or two years seemed to have left no trace on her, only added a little maturity.

"Have you lost weight these days? Even if you're busy writing a book, you should eat on time and get enough rest. You're still growing."

Yukinoshita's mother looked at the boy who was becoming more and more upright, reached out to brush away the petals on his head, and then gently touched his head, feeling satisfied but frowning slightly.

"When Yukino comes back, I'll have her give you a good lesson in health awareness."

Yukinoshita is already maintaining her health... Kiyono showed a sunny smile:

"Don't worry, Auntie. I've only been running back and forth to a few book signings recently."

"I really shouldn't have agreed to let you move out. If you eat and live alone, you'll probably become sub-healthy soon, right?"

The kimono beauty sighed in complaint. Although she wanted Qingye to stay at home, it was not easy for her to refuse Qingye's request after he entered high school.

However, the reason why she agreed to let Qingye go out was...

Her gaze shifted to the right, where a quirky girl jumped out. Yang Nai, who was already a college student, looked more mature and dazzling. It was not a change in her appearance, but she deliberately made herself look older by piling up details.

At this time, Yang Nai patted her increasingly well-developed chest as if to assure him.

"I will take good care of Qingye! Whether it's life or other aspects!"

——Yonano was admitted to university and was able to move out. The apartment was near Qingye, and his new residence was only two or three kilometers away from home.

Moved out, but not completely.

The kimono beauty nodded slightly. She had always been confident about Qingye's future, but she had not expected him to succeed so quickly. He would definitely be an excellent candidate for marriage in the future, so she had to keep a close eye on him.

Now she felt a little regretful for not making up her mind earlier. After all, they were too young at the time, and the daughter of the Yukinoshita family was not a cheap promotional item. Besides, they were the ones who owed the favor.

Even now, Qingye's achievements will not help them at all. It can only be said that he has made a name for himself - maybe he will be forgotten in the next book? Creation is unpredictable.

She values ​​the whole person.

Yukinoshita's mother stared at the man and woman in front of her who were taller than her. Gradually, all those little thoughts were replaced by the mother's sensibility, and the woman sighed with a little melancholy.

"Now that you've all left, I'm the only one left at home."

"My brother and I come back every week. Besides, Yukino will be returning to her country soon. She will stay at home and accompany her mother!" Yang Noi comforted with a smile.

On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.

"But, if you think about it, we still need to see each other more often, Yang No."

Yukinoshita's mother took out a folding fan and made a little joke - Yukinoshita's focus was slowly shifting to her eldest daughter, and she couldn't escape those interpersonal relationships.

Yang Nai curled his lips and tsk- ...

"Also, congratulations on getting into high school and college, Kiyono-kun and Haruno."

In the early spring sunshine, the elegant woman smiled slightly. At this moment, Qingye was lost in thought, and suddenly felt the reality of the passage of time, as well as a faint worry and reluctance.

He had spent his entire life here, always walking with the people before him, watching with them the flowers and trees of spring, the chirping of insects in summer, the swept fallen leaves of autumn, the light snow of winter...

Now, he is about to leave this home temporarily. Maybe at the beginning he did feel restrained, uncomfortable, and deeply alienated, but these things slowly melted away as they spent time together, gathered in his heart, and turned into another, more sticky thing, blooming even more brilliantly.

Could it be...is this the love between family members?

Some important things can only be noticed when they are about to be separated.

Has he truly integrated into the Yukinoshita family?

Can the connection that has been extended over time allow him to call her mother?

*

Moved to a new home.

It wasn't a luxurious flat like Yukinoshita Yukino's, but a much more low-key apartment that a new writer could afford with the current royalties - Yukinoshita's mother wanted him to have the same one as Yukino, but he politely declined.

It's not that he's embarrassed to accept the kindness. In fact, he already regards the Yukinoshita family as his family. But even if they are his biological parents, he wants to live on his own as much as possible. This approach of paying for it himself and having his family give some discounts is just right.

Qingye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the vast blue sky outside and the scenery of the sea and the river, and fell into deep thought.

He was recalling his experiences of the past year. Although the results of literary publishing were much better than he had imagined, the money he currently earned was far less than what he had earned from light novels. One reason was that the efficiency of physical literature was very poor. It took more than half a year to review, publish, and promote it. The other reason was that classic works still needed time to settle, and the growth rate was relatively slow.

Even so, his work has already become the best-selling Akutagawa Prize-winning work in recent years, which shows the overall decline of literature.

However, his social status has indeed been elevated. Wherever he goes out, people have to bow their heads and address him as "Teacher". Moreover, he has successfully infiltrated a circle that is unique to the literary world and closely related to the political world. These are all intangible assets.

If he adds another zero to his current sales volume, then those top universities that ordinary people dream of will probably rush to award him various degrees.

"I feel like I'm still missing an opportunity... Anyway, once my grades get better, I'll release the light novel."

Qingye touched his chin. He had already finished copying the light novels, but he still waited patiently until he won the literary award. This involves a question of perception. If you have literary achievements first, others will only make fun of you for not doing your job properly. But if you have light novels first, it is inevitable that people will look at you with tinted glasses. This is the social atmosphere.

Just as he was planning his route, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Qingye glanced at the number and pressed the answer button.

"Teacher Qingye, have you had a good rest? There is a book signing event today..."

*

In the distant and bustling Tokyo, the glass of the floor-to-ceiling mirror reflects a pure beauty.

The blue-haired girl in a skirt stood sideways, her skin was whiter than snow, her figure was slim, and her waist was slender and soft.

"Hmm... I really look like a senior in high school. As expected of me who has been starving for a year, my figure is really perfect!"

Ba Naijian kept changing various postures, with a look of intoxication on his face.

With such incredible stats, it wouldn't be easy to control a junior senior! ?

Thinking of this, the girl stopped being self-admiring and decided to take action.

After arriving in the new world, what came to her mind was not the heavy academic workload on her shoulders, nor the human instinctive desire for delicious food, but...

Various images emerged from the girl's mind: a smiling Qingye, a frowning Qingye, a Qingye who was shocked, confused, yet delighted to see her...

In the end, only a pure thought remained.

Want to see him.

Even though they hadn't actually been apart for long, she didn't care. Qingye had secretly spent a year in this world! So they hadn't seen each other for a year! There had to be a touching reunion!

Banai put on his coat as if it was a matter of course, as if he was wearing a battle robe, and strode out of the house.

As the girl who knew Qingye best, she easily guessed what achievements the boy would make and where he would appear in the year.

First stop, a family restaurant!

This is where the young girl gets her first start-up capital, and here she will definitely receive the news she wants!

No, haven’t you heard of it… Then go check the apartment again!

After a while, the blue-haired girl stood downstairs and silently took out her cell phone, ready to sacrifice part of the surprise in exchange for his message.

I can't help but want to confirm, confirm that you are still living somewhere, confirm that we are also drifting.

So, she pricked up her ears intently.

beep - beep - beep -

The signal disappeared from the world.

Yanaijian returned home with a frown on his face, turned on his computer, and searched for the information he wanted... This guy's light novel hasn't been published yet? It shouldn't be like this?

Her pupils reflected irrelevant information as she casually controlled the wheel to scroll down the web pages. At this moment, a title caught her attention.

"Akutagawa... Award? The strongest new humanist in the Heisei era?"

She clicked on the webpage and silently read the author's personal information and preface, then her eyes twitched.

You can’t go wrong!

This person is him!

The girl's expression was a little dazed.

So...huh? How come Kiyono has evolved again after only a year? What's this literary award? Do you want to be a modern literary giant? I've never met such a great person!

She hesitated for two seconds and had a bad feeling. Besides, why was Qingye in Chiba now?

No wonder I couldn’t find him!

Banaijian's gaze was fixed on the words on the screen: "Hope of Revitalizing Modern Literature" and "Jointly Recommended by Professors from Major Universities", as if she were looking at things in another world. Whenever she thought she had narrowed the distance between herself and this person a little, he would make even more brilliant achievements, his light was too dazzling.

A faint sense of frustration and loss spread throughout my body, and the flame of fighting spirit in my heart flickered back and forth.

She paused in silence for a few minutes, then decisively turned off the computer, turned around and ran to the entrance.

What happened to Chiba? It's less than an hour away.

What's wrong with being a writer? I'll be an excellent editor in the future and help him.

A lot has happened between them, and they have an irreplaceable bond, so she won't back down because of this.

Banaijian hurriedly changed his shoes and opened the door forcefully. Suddenly, his mother's gentle voice came from behind him.

"Xingcai, it's already dark outside. You won't be home for dinner today...right?"

Only then did she notice the city's streetlights flickering, heralding the darkness of the night. The stars and the moon in the night sky shone brilliantly. It didn't seem wise to go to another city at this time, but...

"Yeah! I have something important to do!"

She took a step forward without hesitation.

She wanted to see that person now.

Yanaijian jogged to the station and boarded the train to Chiba.

The tram swayed silently and moved forward.

When we arrived in Chiba, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. After all, Chiba is an agricultural city, not a bustling city that never sleeps like Tokyo. The streets seemed much more peaceful and warm.
