Suzuka knew that she was just too afraid of Dairenji Zhidao, but the other party would not bring her any real danger - at least not before using her to complete the Taishan Fujun Festival.
After completing the Taishan Lord Ceremony... well, maybe there's no need to be afraid of him anymore.
And Li Nian has already promised to be by Suzuka's side when she meets Dalian Temple Zhidao.
This is enough.
……
……
Li Nian brought back food for everyone. It was already past lunch time and the bell for class rang, causing Kato to complain as he had to go hungry.
“Too slow~~”
"Well said, why don't you run the errand yourself, Ms. Kato?"
"...Then forget it. It's not that I'm too lazy to run, but the only one who can walk slowly and break through the crowd to buy popular products is you, Li Nian. It's better to bring it late than to bring it at all."
No matter how much he complains, he will still be asked to run errands in the future.
It was true that only Li Nian, who arrived at the cafeteria late, could buy what Kato liked. When lunch break came, hungry students would often rush to the cafeteria. When Li Nian arrived, the cafeteria was already packed with people, and popular products would be sold out in the blink of an eye.
Only when Li Nian walked over, the crowd would inexplicably automatically make way for him. It was one thing for him to be able to buy what his friends wanted, but in fact he just wanted to queue up honestly, but the problem was that there was no queue for him. This phenomenon sometimes made Li Nian sincerely wonder if he was so vicious?
Wu Geng had already heard the news that Li Nian was walking with Dalian Temple Suzuka in the cafeteria. After all, both of them were very conspicuous in the school. He guessed that when these two met, they were probably discussing something shameful.
In the afternoon, Li Nian did not practice, but focused his attention on the script. He felt that he had to give his revision suggestions as soon as possible before meeting Kasumigaoka in the evening, so as to finalize the outline more quickly so that Kasumigaoka and he could start writing quickly and not delay the progress of others. So, during the class time, he marked many places in the revised draft of the script outline in red and made corresponding remarks. He felt that the outline had been roughly formed at this point, and began to think about how to write it specifically.
After school, after finishing their respective tasks related to the cultural festival, the club members gathered again at the cafe.
First time is stranger, second time is familiar. This group of people are big customers who spend a lot. They ordered a lot of things when they came before and sat for a long time. They were a group of handsome men and beautiful women who were quite conspicuous. Now they come again, obviously to deliver good results. The staff all know them.
They were greeted by the energetic girl again. She led them to their original seats and remembered their previous orders. She asked Li Nian if he wanted to order as usual. After Li Nian finished ordering, she offered to give them free samples of their new products to try, which Li Nian naturally accepted with a smile.
Senior Kasumigaoka was the last one to arrive, obviously very sleepy, and seemed to be floating as she walked. She sat down next to Li Nian, a seat that everyone had tactfully reserved for her.
As soon as she sat down, she said, "Let me experience the feeling of leaning on my boyfriend's shoulder." Then she squinted her eyes and leaned towards Li Nian. There was a height difference between her and Li Nian, so she could just curl up and lean on his shoulder comfortably, with her head resting at a comfortable angle.
Chapter 432: Just getting into the role, why bother to extricate yourself?
Although everyone more or less expected that Senior Kasumigaoka would approach Li Nian again like before and carry out this kind of behavior called love scenario simulation and writing teasing.
Because they didn't want to be awkwardly sandwiched in the middle, everyone deliberately sat on the other side of the table and let the two of them play by themselves.
But when they actually saw this senior sister Kasumigaoka attacking the boys without hesitation, everyone felt very strange. They obviously noticed that senior sister Kasumigaoka seemed to be even stranger today than before, and they all looked at her with strange expressions for a while.
Yiwugeng sat next to Li Nian as usual, glancing at her quietly with an expressionless face, watching Li Nian's reaction.
And Li Nian’s reaction... was the same as usual.
He just sighed slightly with a sense of annoyance. He was almost used to Kasumigaoka's actions. He didn't stop her, nor did he feel uncomfortable. He just sat up straighter in silence in response to the girl's overly relaxed leaning so that she could have some support.
Such a reaction made Wu Geng feel more at ease. She told herself that wood would not blossom and iron trees would not bloom. She wanted to ignore this meaningless interaction. Although she looked away, it was still difficult for her to really not care.
Li Nian slightly tilted his head to look at Kasumigaoka's face. The girl leaning on his shoulder was very close to him. A pleasant fragrance and warmth came from his side, but he didn't care about it. What he noticed was the girl's unnaturally red face and dark circles under her eyes, as well as her slightly weak breathing.
"I can see that you are really sleepy. You didn't get enough sleep today, right? Of course, sleeping on the desk is not as comfortable as lying on the bed. Moreover, if sleep is not in accordance with the rules of the biological clock, the effect will be extremely poor and it is difficult to make up for it. I told you not to stay up late, didn't I remind you before that it would cause problems for your body... For you, problems have already occurred. I can see this. Don't you take it seriously?"
"I know, I know. I have remembered Li Nian's advice. But when I get excited, I can't stop. If I don't let off steam and finish it thoroughly, I won't be able to sleep~"
She said stupid things that made people blush and their hearts beat fast while smiling, but her tone was weak. Kasumigaoka kept her eyes half-closed and looked drowsy.
Kasumigaoka's current mental state is indeed not right.
What Li Nian said was right. She was extremely sleepy. She had stayed up all night revising the outline yesterday. When she arrived at school today, she was also disturbed by the noise and could not sleep well.
Kasumigaoka has always had the habit of staying up late to write, and she has gotten used to the process of coming back to school to catch up on sleep after staying up late to write. But she did listen to Li Nian's advice, and tried not to work all night if possible... Of course, she had similar thoughts before, and they became a little stronger in the past two days, so she paid attention to getting a good rest.
It’s just that thinking about it is one thing, and completely executing it is another... The biological clock is difficult to adjust in a short period of time. For someone like Kasumigaoka who is used to being a night owl, if she fails to stick to a normal schedule for two days and then goes back to staying up late, it will make her even more uncomfortable - this is also the normal state that Kasumigaoka has become accustomed to.
It is not comfortable to sleep lying down in the classroom after all. It is nice to have a feeling of support like now. At this moment, Kasumigaoka is resting her head on the boy's shoulder. It feels just right to lean on him, which is quite comfortable. There is also an inexplicable sense of security. She is really feeling sleepy.
Li Nian understood the so-called authors too well. There were very few who were not used to staying up late. Asking them to pay attention to Zhao Yixi... similar words would not have any effect. Perhaps when their bodies collapsed one day and obvious symptoms appeared, the pain and weakness would force them to learn from their mistakes and make up their minds to change their work and rest schedules.
But by then, permanent damage to the body would have already been done.
Li Nian once died of heart failure. She knows better than anyone the feeling of being weak and knows that human health is the foundation of life. Therefore, she cares about this more than anyone else. She knows that her friends will get annoyed by it, but she will never tire of reminding them.
Li Nian understood Xia Zhiqiu's situation. She was a student and a writer. Recently, she had two writing tasks: the game script of this club and her own new book. She had to go to school during the day, so she could not only write in her spare time.
Of course, the same is true for Li Nian. Although Xia Zhiqiu's writing skills are not bad, he obviously does not have Li Nian's efficiency and self-discipline. It is not that he can go home and sit in front of the computer to cut off distractions, enter a state of concentration, and steadily advance the organized content. He has a goal from the beginning and can complete it smoothly within the planned time.
I was able to devote myself fully to writing Kasumigaoka because I was supported by a kind of emotion. The writing process is not slow, but I just can't stop.
For such a girl like Xia Zhiqiu, Li Nian knew that it was not enough to persuade her to take a good rest with just two or three words. At this time, Li Nian tried to think from her perspective and proposed a plan.
"Senior has a lot to do recently, with a new book and a script. It's a heavy workload, right?"
"No match for you."
"There's no point in comparing yourself to me. You must be a big burden to me, right?"
"It's a small matter... I want to say that, but that's the truth."
"I'm sorry, Kasumigaoka-senpai..." Amai showed a guilty expression.
"No need... I asked for it... I'm willing... I can take care of both." Kasumigaoka waved her hands, her voice was small, and she was really about to fall asleep.
"You can balance both, and you should balance both better. The task is heavy, but it won't force you to work yourself to death. You're making An Yi sound like a heartless producer."
"Isn't he a black-hearted producer? And he doesn't pay us wages." Sawamura said nonchalantly while drinking coffee.
This time, An Yi did not remain speechless. Instead, she pointed at Li Nian triumphantly and said, "Who said there is no salary? The sponsor is right here! I said I would pay you, but the prerequisite is that someone has to complete the work. Do the work first and settle the bill later."
"I'm doing it, I'm doing it." Sawamura responded casually while happily eating the cake that someone else had treated her to. She really liked the desserts in this shop, and she liked it even more because it was treated by a rich man and she could eat as much as she wanted.
Her answer attracted Li Nian's suspicious gaze. He really didn't know whether Sawamura was doing what he should do.
There is no rush for Kasumigaoka, of course, but the novel illustrations they want from Phoenix Bunko are urgent.
Li Nian felt a little distressed and worried about Kasumigaoka staying up late, but the fact that the girl with twin ponytails did not stay up late to work and was able to sit there with a refreshed look, eating, drinking and having fun happily made Li Nian feel inexplicably unhappy.
Ignoring this lazy guy temporarily, Li Nian continued speaking to Xia Zhiqiu.
"Senior Kasumigaoka, after all, there is no rush. There is a long enough deadline. If you share the daily workload, it shouldn't interfere with your daily routine... Also, don't fall asleep. You can't let everyone wait for you. If you fall asleep now, you will definitely not be able to sleep at night. Starting from today, you have to have a good rest. I suggest you wait until it's time to sleep... Or you should sit up straight and be more alert?"
Li Nian has always calculated and estimated the amount of tasks. The volume has been controlled in the plot outline, and he knows exactly what part will be shared with Kasumigaoka.
Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka obediently opened her eyes, forcing herself to stay awake, but she was still unwilling to leave Li Nian's shoulder. She felt very comfortable leaning on him like this, and only opened her eyes.
"Okay, I won't sleep, but you have to let me stay leaning on you."
"Please go ahead. Back to the topic of work and rest, I have no doubt that you will be as lazy as that guy over there. I believe that this is enough time for you to complete the task. Based on this, I don't think you will arrange your sleep on your desk during class. No matter what the situation is, you must sleep in your bed at night."
"Or maybe it would be nice to sleep in your bed, Li Nian?"
"I'm serious." Li Nian reached out and tapped the girl's forehead lightly as a punishment.
"It hurts..." Li Nian used a little force, and it was a little painful. Kasumigaoka covered her forehead, but she thought it was funny and giggled. She felt that she couldn't do what Li Nian asked: "But there is no way, I am the kind of person who can't stop once the feeling comes."
"Then you have to force yourself to stop. Stop when the time comes, and you will gradually get used to it."
“It’s a huge loss not to finish what you want to write when inspiration strikes.”
"Ruining your body would be a greater loss." Li Nian was unmoved: "Senior Kasumigaoka, you will continue to be active as an author in the future, right? Do you plan to keep doing this? Five, ten, twenty years? Then sooner or later you will be one of the authors who died suddenly in the news. This is not a long-term solution."
Everyone present had irregular sleep and rest schedules, but Kato's condition was not that serious. He had only been slightly affected recently and was reflecting on it. He nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't sleep well, your skin will get worse."
It seemed that being told that her skin was getting worse made Kasumigaoka more shaken than Li Nian's attempt to scare her with the serious consequences of sudden death.
"I understand the reason, but the progress of the work..."
"The best way to ensure progress is to make an estimate early and complete it in a planned manner with a fixed time and quantity. If you say you want to learn from me, then this is where you should learn the most from me."
“…I can’t do what you do.”
"Is it because you can't do it or you haven't done it? This is not a reason for you not to arrange your time and plan yourself. Besides, you don't have any pressure in your studies, right? You have been recommended to university, so you don't have to take classes seriously. You can use class time to design the structure of the content you need to write every day, and then write less on weekdays when you don't have time, and write more when you have time during holidays. This way, it will be enough to finish. It must not be that you squeeze in time at night and stay up all night to write like crazy."
“…This will definitely slow down the progress.”
"As long as we can catch up with the progress, we are not like a lazy dog with blond hair and twin ponytails who doesn't move even if he has time."
"Don't keep implying things to me! I'm working hard on your illustration!" Sawamura slapped the table in dissatisfaction, "Just following the healthy way you said! Thanks to the scenes and inspiration you provided, and the great help from Mr. Shiina, I can easily make the composition and sketch. Recently, I have calculated the time and the work progress is progressing steadily! I won't exceed the deadline this time."
"It sounds like this is all because you took advantage of Shiina's achievements for the sake of convenience."
"This is called mutual help between good friends."
"You sound so good, but you just copied someone else's composition."
“Borrowing! Borrowing is not called plagiarism… I really didn’t plagiarize! Don’t look at me like that, I have the self-esteem of an artist too! I really just got inspiration from Shiina-san’s paintings! Besides, her painting style is completely different from mine!”
"I don't care if you copied others or not."
"I didn't copy it! I borrowed from it!"
"I just want to see my illustrations as soon as possible." Li Nian turned to Kasumigaoka and said, "An Yi said before that I am the sponsor. No matter what, I will pay you for your hard work. Correspondingly, I should also be qualified to make demands on you."
"Hmm~, your desire is revealed. Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the girl?" Kasumigaoka blinked.
"Yes, this is the order from the sponsor. Sleep well."
"Next to your pillow, Li Nian?"
"On your own bed, senior sister." The food she ordered arrived, and Li Nian reached out to take it.
"It's boring." Li Nian was deliberately steadying his body, but Kasumigaoka was not satisfied with his inaction. She squirmed and blew into Li Nian's ear: "I want to sleep too, but how can I solve the loneliness at night, senior sister?"
Li Nian raised an eyebrow.
Gogen suddenly said, "Senior Kasumigaoka, you don't seem normal today. It's better to stay away from that guy."
Everyone had the same feeling. Although Kasumigaoka usually liked to tease Li Nian, today she was closer to him and more out of line than before. Although this was how senior Kasumigaoka had always changed, her condition was particularly strange today, and she looked like she was not quite sober.
Kasumigaoka was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and nodded in agreement with Gogen's statement: "I am not normal, maybe... I haven't come out of the state when I was thinking about the outline last night?"
Kasumigaoka revised the main plot outline given by Li Nian. In order to increase the proportion of "love", she was thinking about how the hero and heroine would gradually get closer and fall in love with each other under this plot framework, and what kind of life would they lead after that... She started thinking divergently and thought of many scenarios in which the hero and heroine gradually got closer, confided in each other, and finally fell in love...
There is nothing wrong with this book. The problem is that she puts herself into the story and thinks from the perspective of the heroine. The image of the hero in her imagination is based on someone in reality.
In this state, she devoted herself fully to completing the revision of the outline. When she came to her senses in the morning, she realized that it was as if she was imagining a love affair with someone.
She herself felt very embarrassed, but also found it very interesting and heart-pounding. Today, she fell asleep in class and dreamed of the passionate love scenes with that man. Now that she really saw the prototype in real life, it was a little difficult for her to control herself.
"There is a difference between fantasy and reality." Wu Geng said meaningfully: "In fantasy, the male and female protagonists are in a romantic relationship, but in reality they are not."
"I never thought I heard these words from a middle school student with a second-year syndrome." Li Nian murmured.
"Shut up." Wu Geng glared at him fiercely: "Who do you think is the culprit?"
What did I do to be the culprit? Li Nian really didn't understand, but he also knew that Xia Zhiqiu's current state was not right, so he said something to remind Xia Zhiqiu.
"It's really not good to get too deeply into the role."
Kasumigaoka was silent for a while, and suddenly left Li Nian's shoulder. He stretched as if he had leaned on her enough, and then sat up straight. He didn't lean over again, and resumed his quiet and elegant sitting posture.
But he said: "Even if it's just a fantasy, I actually like that feeling and I kind of want it to become reality. Life is like a play, and the person who never gets into the play is the one with the problem."
Chapter 433 After completing the design, they will move forward quickly
When everyone was imagining something because of Senior Kasumigaoka's remarks, which made the atmosphere inexplicably awkward and turned into a subtle silence, Li Nian, who had been talked about in various ways, just let out a sigh of relief as if she felt a little tired.
That reaction was like, "Here comes the kid again."
Just by looking at Li Nian's reaction, being looked at with a somewhat helpless but tolerant gaze, Xia Zhiqiu knew that all her indirect words had fallen into vain and still had not broken through the decisive gap.
This man was not heartless, but he was unmoved and still looked down at her, so he didn't care about her approach and didn't respond to her hints.
You want to express your feelings to someone with your eyes, but he doesn't take you seriously at all. Kasumigaoka suddenly feels like punching cotton. She knows that what she thought was a heartfelt confession is actually not heard by this man at all and is just regarded as the usual nonsense.
People who are too deeply immersed in the drama find it difficult to extricate themselves. They fantasize about spending their whole lives with someone and have even thought of names for their grandchildren, let alone their children.
Those who have never been involved in the play have been left out from the beginning.
Not only is Kasumigaoka stepping up its offensive, the singles have also stepped up their defensive positions. They have already completed the cut in their minds and will not waver easily.
"Then let's get back to the health problems that staying up late will cause."
Ignoring the strange atmosphere in the room, Li Nian skipped over the weird topic of love with just one sentence.
"Why can you bring back the topic so nonchalantly at this time? By the way, you haven't finished the topic about health yet?" Sawamura couldn't help but complain.
"Because most things are not as important as my own life... There's not much to say. I just want to talk about Kasumigaoka-senpai's health problem. In the long run, you need to get on with your work and rest schedule. In the short run, you can let me regulate your Qi flow... Well, to put it simply, as a mage, I can give you a healing buff, which should have an immediate effect and will make you better quickly."
