These bastards took every opportunity to escalate their words to the level of personal attack, as if the fact that he, Li Nian, was incompetent for not being able to write a story about a broken love story. People who didn't know would think that these kids knew a lot about love. It was obvious that none of them had ever had a boyfriend or girlfriend, so how could they mock him?
"Since it's your script, Li Nian, you can't really leave the love part entirely to others to write. You yourself should understand what the so-called love is. If you don't have love, you won't be able to write a touching love story." Kasumigaoka said seriously.
While they were talking about serious matters, this senior student started to make fun of herself again. Li Nian felt that this was really inappropriate. However, at this moment, she was really annoyed by the ridicule of several bad friends. She was happy to play with her and said sarcastically.
"Then according to your opinion, how can I, a hopelessly single person like me, awaken my love?"
"Well, nothing can make people awaken their love more than falling in love." Kasumigaoka laughed, put his chin on his hands, and leaned forward towards Li Nian: "I will be your sparring partner with reluctance, Li Nian... Oh no, Kinoshita-san, Ito Shiko is right in front of you, look, your girlfriend already wants to eat cake, why don't you feed her quickly?"
Wu Geng was stunned. He knew that this was the segment where the senior sister, whom he was used to seeing, was making fun of Li Nian, but he still couldn't help but look up and stare.
Li Nian also felt that Xia Zhiqiu was playing more and more unscrupulously. She wanted to see if she could lose face if she really fed Xia Zhiqiu, so she deliberately used her fork to pick up a piece of cake and passed it to her. She smiled and carefully held it up to feed her, and said softly in a cooperative voice: "Then, come on, Shizi, open your mouth, ah~~"
He originally thought that Kasumi Nozomi was just being stubborn and didn't dare to really eat it. However, he didn't expect that Kasumi Nozomi actually bit off the cake on the fork with a "whoosh".
Li Nian was stunned. Not only him, but everyone was also more or less surprised. Wu Geng even opened his mouth wide, looking at the two people who completed the intimate act smoothly, and had a strange feeling in his heart.
May Day is really busy (referring to eating, drinking and having fun)
The main reason is that my office worker friends rarely have a break to come back and get together.
But in fact, everyone is not idle during the holidays. Even when playing games, they can receive a series of fatal calls every ten minutes. Some people work overtime without any pay increase, and some have to go back to their hometown after only a few hours of rest. Maybe this is the world of office workers.
I'm still fully present this month, but I won't have the chance to adjust my schedule after I use up my leave application...
That's good. Without the leave application, I no longer have the urge to slack off. It's not that I don't have time to write these days, I'm just lazy.
So for the rest of this month, I will not grunt for a day and do 4k every day!
Okay, the flag has been set.
Chapter 423: The key to cooperation is sharing what we have
She actually ate it? She ate the cake with the fork I had used?
Li Nian didn't expect that the king of big talk would suddenly not just talk big but actually do what he said. Thinking of the physical contact that the senior sister suddenly came close to her in the morning, the feeling that "something is not right" became stronger and stronger.
"It's delicious. I want more." Kasumigaoka said nonchalantly, and opened her mouth again, but the blush on her face showed that she was not really that calm.
"Senior, there is no need to force yourself for the sake of everyone's career. It's so dirty." Wu Geng calmly brought a new fork.
Kasumigaoka looked at her and didn't take it. She smiled and said, "I just want to try the feeling of being fed by my boyfriend. It feels really good. I want to do it again."
She deliberately put emphasis on the word "boyfriend".
Li Nian stared at the fork for a long time. He was not the kind of person who was averse to such trivial matters as sharing a fork to eat. For example, he had the experience of drinking from a bottle of water together with Isayama during training.
But after hearing what Kasumigaoka said, Li Nian knew that this guy actually minded this kind of thing. He immediately looked at the fork, which still had cream left on it, and thought about how Kasumigaoka not only ate the cake, but also took a big sip of it. He no longer had the idea of treating the fork casually. He always felt that something was weird and wondered whether he should change the fork.
Li Nian's hesitation undoubtedly revealed her inner thoughts. Xia Zhiqiu was really afraid that this guy would say "I really think it's dirty" and change the fork. Just thinking about it felt like a huge blow to her mentally. Knowing that this guy was indeed capable of doing this, she deliberately said, "What's wrong? A real man still cares about such a small matter."
After hearing what she said, Li Nian thought so too, rolled her eyes, and gave up the idea of changing the fork. She felt that she would lose if she did that, but she said, "I don't mind, but you may not mind, right, senior sister? I think if you care, you don't have to force yourself to do it."
Li Nian was not only talking about the trivial matter of eating from the same fork, but was also reminding Kasumigaoka to be careful with his words. He knew that the writer was trying to find inspiration for his work and that was why he asked him to simulate the scenes of a so-called romantic comedy, but he did not think that it was necessary to go to this extent just to write an article.
"Because it's the male protagonist I like who's feeding me, so as Ito Shiko I won't feel forced."
After being with Li Nian for such a long time, Xia Zhiqiu could hear Li Nian's hints and could see that the calm man wanted to take the initiative to distance himself from her.
Just like he did with other girls.
Kasumigaoka was not going to give him this chance and challenged him, "Why, are you scared? Are you attracted by my charm? It seems that the firm belief of the so-called single nobles is nothing more than this. You can't stand it after just a simple interaction with a beautiful girl. You are too weak."
"...Huh? That's it?" Li Nian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that Senior Sister will be unable to withstand my charm and get into trouble, which will get me involved."
"You are too confident. There are so many boys who confessed to me, and there are countless boys who are better at making girls happy than you. You don't think that I will be moved if I play with you for a while, right? It's just a simulation after all. No way, no way, no one will really be moved by such a simulation and then be scared, right? Even a little girl like me is not afraid, but a great exorcist is going to back down after playing with such a little girl?"
"What an obvious way to provoke someone." Sawamura and Amaki whispered, "No one will really fall for it, right?"
"That's Ah Nian." An Yi was shocked at first, but now she looked at it all calmly. She didn't doubt her best friend's firm belief in being a single noble, and she didn't think that someone as smart as Li Nian would fall for such a lowly...
"Okay, since senior sister said so, I'll accompany you." Li Nian replied.
"He hit it!" Sawamura shouted.
"Asshole, what happened to him? Oh, he fell for such a simple provocation, then it's okay... No, that's not right, Ah Nian, calm down!"
"I'm calm."
How could Li Nian not see that Kasumigaoka was trying to provoke her?
He admitted that he was a little bit arrogant.
But I just wanted to see what Kasumigaoka was planning.
"Okay, then, you should never stop feeding me, ah~~~" Kasumigaoka opened her mouth again, waiting for Li Nian to feed his girlfriend again, with her eyes narrowed with a smile.
Li Nian was calm and just started to feed her the cake. Xia Zhiqiu was eating it contentedly when Li Nian suddenly said, "Oh, Shizi, you're eating so fast that your cute face is all dirty. Come, let me wipe it for you."
Xia Zhiqiu was startled, and then she saw Li Nian approaching with a handkerchief. The man had a gentle look in his eyes and carefully wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth. He said gently, "Eat slowly. If you like, my portion is all yours. Don't worry."
Since everyone knew Li Nian, they had never heard him speak so softly. Now seeing this boy saying sweet words in a doting tone, and even getting close to the girl and gently wiping her mouth, everyone was immediately...
They all shuddered at the same time.
He began to tremble uncomfortably.
"You acted very well. Don't act like that next time." Sawamura gave his evaluation of Li Nian's performance mercilessly.
"Normal couples wouldn't do this. Ah Nian, you're too pretentious." An Yi suggested, "First of all, you don't have a fair and handsome face, so you're not suitable for playing a romantic scene like this. You should go for a more down-to-earth and acting-focused route."
"Student Li Nian, can you be a little more normal? I feel sick to my stomach." Kato told the truth.
Wu Geng rarely took this opportunity to mock them. He just watched the interaction between the two with a cold look and bit his lip.
Li Nian felt bored by the audience's comments on his performance and pulled back: "Tsk, this audience is so nosy. What's more, you said I'm not handsome? My handsomeness is not in my face but in my overall masculinity, okay? You guys who can't see that really have no taste."
Li Nian stepped back and was treated with artificial tenderness by the boy, just like the interaction between the male and female protagonists in some melodramatic TV series. Kasumigaoka was a little dazed. Seeing Li Nian step back and sit back, the girl suddenly woke up from her dream and said, "Ah..." with some regret.
"Kasumigaoka-senpai?" An Yi gave her a puzzled look.
Kasumigaoka finally came back to his senses, coughed twice, and pretended to be calm: "Ahem, your acting is really bad, your acting needs to be improved, but it doesn't matter, next time I can also act out more clichéd plots with you to help you improve your acting skills."
"Forget it, forget it. I can't do it." Li Nian was not interested and felt frustrated.
Kato narrowed his eyes slightly, not missing Kasumigaoka-senpai's reddened cheeks and earlobes, and her wandering eyes that didn't dare to meet Li Nian's gaze. He sighed in his heart, "Could it be that the icy beauty of Sobu High School is actually easy to deal with?"
Kasumigaoka felt uneasy. After the performance, Li Nian had a calm expression as always. She felt that she had lost somewhere and was not convinced. Suddenly she smiled again and picked up a piece of cake with her fork: "Well, this time it's the girlfriend's turn to feed the boyfriend. Come on, Kinoshita-kun... no, Kokoro-san, open your mouth and read with me, ah~~"
Li Nian was startled. Xia Zhiqiu had already handed her her piece of cake with a smile. It was Li Nian's turn to bite the food on the girl's fork. He didn't hesitate at all. He closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and was ready to eat.
The next moment, someone literally stuffed the cake into his mouth.
No, it was stuffed into my throat.
Li Nian was choked and started coughing. He opened his eyes angrily, but what he saw was not Kasumigaoka, but Gogen who was smiling and trying to stuff a whole piece of cake into his mouth, saying softly.
"Want to eat cake? Just tell me earlier. I'll feed you enough."
Wu Geng successfully stuffed a large piece of cake into Li Nian's throat before he stopped. He had to pick up the coffee next to him and drink it down, which was very difficult to swallow.
Gogen sneered: "Isn't it just a simulation of a couple in love? There's no need to sacrifice the senior. Anyway, for you, it's enough to be a woman, so I can also play with you reluctantly."
Li Nian coughed continuously and said unhappily: "You are not simulating love, you are simulating murder."
Gogen ignored him and looked towards Kasumigaoka, warning: "If you've had enough of playing with this idiot, please stop. And please don't forget that we are currently having a club meeting and are discussing the serious business of scriptwriting."
Xia Zhiqiu felt quite regretful that she failed to feed Li Nian successfully.
Being stared at directly by Wu Geng, she could also see the vigilance and anger in the girl's eyes, and knew that if she continued teasing her, it would not end well.
She had no choice but to put the cake back on the fork. She was accused of not doing her job properly, but she shook her head and said with a smile, "I am working hard to make our script director Awaken Love so that he can write a better script for the galgame."
Li Nian still had some sore throat, so she pressed her throat and said, "Senior Kasumigaoka seems to want to teach me what love is, but the premise is that you really understand what a boy's love is. In my opinion, you yourself don't seem to understand. What is love for a boy? "Love Metronome" is well written, and the heroine Sayuka is brought to life, but to be honest, the hero in it is a bit empty, like a machine that responds to the girl's thoughts. In my opinion, the hero's behavior and many of his thoughts are not very tenable, and it makes people feel that this is an animal that is in heat all year round, worried about gains and losses, and unstable. When he sees a girl's glance and smile, many thoughts will diverge. It's ridiculous. He really doesn't look like a man. He's just like the man you imagine."
"Really? I think that's how young boys feel." An Yi asked doubtfully, "Because they like a girl's glance or smile, they will think about it and worry about gains and losses. Isn't that what high school boys feel like?"
"You, Amaki, are not even a role model for a high school boy. Your mind is full of otaku culture... You know, young people of this age may be superficial, but they are not stupid enough to regard love as the most important thing."
"Yes, young boys of this age should be feeling sexually aroused. It's the age when sexual awareness is awakening, and they should all think with their lower body." Sawamura expressed his opinion.
Kato blushed and asked Li Nian: "Is that so?"
"That's bullshit." Li Nian flatly denied it, not even bothering to correct the twisted thinking circuit of the artist who created the book. Recalling his own youth, he gave an answer: "Women are not important. They are more fun than games and more interesting than novels. Why waste your time on love? This is what young people today think."
"That's exactly what's going on, my friend..." An Yi felt that he had really touched her heart, but then she suddenly realized it and shook her head vigorously: "But we can't have such a protagonist in our galgam!"
"It's okay if there is." Kasumigaoka smiled meaningfully, "It doesn't prevent girls from conquering them when they really get close to them. Physical contact, eye contact - just such a small thing can make boys fall in love. I have confirmed this in you, Li Nian... When you simulated the situation with me just now, you did feel a little moved, right? Don't lie."
Li Nian was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes, just a little bit... Yes, just a little bit."
"A little bit is enough, a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow, little by little adds up to a lot, this is what we call love."
Li Nian could tell that Kasumigaoka seemed to sincerely want to play with her like this in the future, and immediately frowned.
Wu Geng, who was sitting next to Li Nian, suddenly came closer. Li Nian looked at her in confusion. She said coldly, "What are you looking at? I just want to eat your cake. You said you allowed me to take it." Without waiting for Li Nian's reply, she snatched the thing he ordered. After getting it, she didn't move away and kept sitting on his shoulder.
Li Nian felt a bit crowded and sat away a little, but Wu Geng came closer again. She sat away again, and she came closer again. Li Nian looked at her, unable to tell what she was thinking from her cold face, but could tell that she seemed a little angry, so he sighed and thought, forget it, he was too lazy to move and let her lean on him.
Kasumigaoka watched this scene and found it interesting. Knowing that the child was provoked by her, she stopped playing and spoke slowly.
"I have to admit that my understanding of boys is indeed a bit superficial."
"Ok?"
"After reading what you wrote, Teacher Muzi, I realized that there are such men in the world. They think about the country and the survival of the people, but also think about the balance in their wallets and what to eat today."
Kasumigaoka recalled her feelings when reading Li Nian's works and continued.
"All of this is not contradictory. Only when different aspects are combined can one be considered a complete and interesting person. A person has lofty pursuits and also lives an ordinary life. This is a real person who seems to be living somewhere. It makes people feel that they have seen him somewhere before. If you think about it carefully, it turns out that he can match the figures who have left their names in history. This is the way of life of truly great people. I know that this is a better writing direction, which is closer to life and reality, and has a deeper and broader writing style and perspective. In comparison, focusing only on love is indeed ridiculous and superficial."
Li Nian thought about it and shook his head.
"Love is not a ridiculous little thing. It is an emotion that everyone has. It is certainly not superficial to write a story with it as the theme, because no matter who it is, it can resonate with it. Senior sister writes romantic novels. If you want to write this and can write this, of course you should use love as the theme. But in my humble opinion, if Xia Shizi wants to write more popular works and let the content break away from the niche and go to the masses, you really have to study other elements seriously, because love is not a monotonous concept. It should be combined with life, work, ideals, and reality. Only when these complement each other can love be more real and valuable. It does not only exist between teenagers, and there are not only the forms of love triangles. After all, love is love, firewood, rice, oil and salt is also love, vigorous love is love, plain love is also love, breaking up and getting together again and again is love, and holding hands and growing old together is also love. If senior sister wants to study love deeply, she should study different lives that carry various kinds of love, rather than limiting herself to the love ethics drama between high school students."
Kasumigaoka has always felt her bottleneck, and after seeing Li Nian's writing process, this feeling became even stronger. She knew that this man had completely different values and ideas from her own, so what he wrote was different from hers, as if they were two extremes, but it was undoubtedly much more complete than hers and more mature. Her initial idea of approaching Li Nian was to learn from him, to get something she didn't have, and to achieve a breakthrough.
She has indeed learned a lot from Li Nian these days.
Learning how he constructs an outline, how he arranges the plot, and how he writes specific things can be said to be understanding the thinking of another outstanding creator from a close and fundamental perspective.
Kasumigaoka is also a top student, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to balance writing and maintain the top grade in the grade, and be admitted to Early Childhood University. She deserves the title of genius and is undoubtedly very good at studying. She has benefited a lot from learning from Li Nian, but it is difficult for her to organize these things into a specific path she should take. Her ideas are not clear and she can't find a specific direction to move forward.
So after finishing Love Metronome, her new book has actually been delayed - she doesn't want to start a new beginning in this state.
After hearing what Li Nian said, Xia Zhiqiu suddenly felt enlightened and discovered what went wrong with her. She was limited to the monotonous topic of teenage love and failed to get out of the thinking she had developed in her old works. She forgot that love is a broader and lofty concept and should not be limited to the form of love between young boys and girls. Once this came to her mind, she immediately had an idea for the new book.
Kasumigaoka sighed, "As expected, a bystander can see more clearly. It takes others to see my shortcomings."
The others present looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all readers of Love Metronome and did not see any shortcomings of Kasumigaoka, but they also felt that what Li Nian said made sense.
Li Nian nodded. She didn't really disagree with what Kasumigaoka said about awakening her love. After accompanying her through such a fuss, she now had some ideas of her own.
So he said.
"Maybe what senior sister said is right. A bystander sees more clearly. I haven't studied love enough and don't know what love is, but this thing is really important in story creation. It's not an element that I can really avoid. Whether it's between the male and female protagonists or other characters, love should be an indispensable part of their lives. It doesn't need to be a topic of discussion, but it must appear in some corners to make a character more like a living person. Senior sister seems to be very good at this part. Please let me learn from you. I have set up different propositions about love for you in the game script we are working on. I look forward to you showing me your solutions to these propositions, and then working with me to complete the script of that masterpiece-level game that An Yi wants to see. I think a masterpiece-level galgame script is one in which every character is vivid, every heroine is worthy of love, and makes people's hearts beat. At the same time, they can show their own side in different lines, carrying different loves and lives, so that the general public can more or less find their own epitome in it."
Kasumigaoka's expression turned serious.
“This is a very ambitious and difficult goal.”
"It doesn't matter. You know I'm good at analyzing things step by step by categorizing them. The so-called complexity is just a simple accumulation, and the so-called story is just an accumulation of events. I will break down difficult concepts clearly, so you don't need to think about the connection between things. I will finalize the big framework and sort out the small details. You just need to write down each point. If there is anything you are not sure about, tell me and I can analyze it for you." Li Nian smiled and said, "This is the form of our cooperation. We just need to do our part to complete the entire project. Whether it can become a masterpiece or not, don't worry about it. Leave it to the players to judge."
Chapter 424: Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly discovered the key point
Li Nian continued.
"Whether it is a masterpiece or not, when I started writing the script, I thought about what makes a good galgame. I considered it from the perspective of a reader... a player. I reviewed my own gaming experiences that I thought were good, and sorted them out. I think it's roughly as follows: When a person comes into contact with a game, he will be attracted by the title, cover, introduction, and game type at the beginning, and be willing to try it. When he really gets started, he will find the game interesting during the game, and he will have the motivation to keep playing. If he can keep getting positive feedback and continue playing, his emotions will be aroused, and his love for the game will become stronger, and he will not leave halfway. When he has thoroughly played a route, he will be satisfied with it, and then he will be happy. He will have the idea of further exploring the whole picture of the game, and then he will return to the branch he chose and start playing a new route. From a new perspective, he will get new information, have new experiences and feelings, and feel that his understanding of the story and characters has been further deepened. His previous questions have been answered, and his favorite characters have become more lovable, or the characters he hates have shown another side that is worthy of love. At that time, he will feel surprised and interesting, and will have the urge to play other routes again... Repeating this process, when he has finished playing the whole game, he can see the whole picture of the story and understand all the characters. Naturally, he will have a strong sense of satisfaction and has been deeply immersed in the game in the process. Such a game must have become a masterpiece in his heart at that time."
When An Yi put the team together and kept saying that he wanted to make a masterpiece, he actually had no specific idea of what a so-called masterpiece was.
What he is thinking about now is how to sell the game and make a profit so as not to let down the efforts of his partners in the community and the investment from the sponsors.
He no longer has any unnecessary, unrealistic ambitions, and is not thinking about making a masterpiece. He just feels that this game project is no longer something he can treat with a playful attitude. Rather than pursuing the so-called illusory quality of a masterpiece, he now just wants to be more down-to-earth and make a good game that sells well.
But now after hearing what Li Nian said, An Yi knew that what their script writer wanted to write seriously was to strive for a "masterpiece-level script". Unlike him, An Yi, Li Nian not only had a vague idea, but had already made corresponding plans and designs for it.
At this time, Li Nian expressed his understanding of the so-called "masterpiece". To An Yi, it seemed like his vague thoughts were integrated. An Yi thought carefully about the galgames he had played that he identified as "masterpieces", and found that they basically met Li Nian's description.
There must be interesting and vivid characters, abundant choices and different routes, multiple heroines with different personalities and feelings, but all of which make people's heart beat fast, the plot must be interesting and suspenseful, and have an ups and downs in the game process. Different routes must reflect different life feelings, and the various routes should complement each other to form a unified theme. The specific content cannot be too complicated and profound, and must be down-to-earth enough to give players a comfortable gaming experience.
