Li Nian didn't care.
"It's just a trivial failure. If you can't even handle this little blow, you might as well just give up. There will be more suffering in the future."
Kanda thought what he said was too harsh and got a little angry.
"Student Li Nian, you are just talking without any back pain, right? Do you know how hard Shiina works?"
Li Nian looked at him with a half-smile, and the coldness that flashed across her eyes extinguished half of Kanda's anger.
But the coldness quickly disappeared. Li Nian smiled and did not argue with him. Instead, he nodded and agreed with what he said.
"You're right, I was too harsh... Well, at this moment, Kanda, what you need to do is to make something delicious to comfort her wounded heart, so go and cook."
He patted the stunned Kanda's shoulder to comfort him and went back to his room.
"Is it my illusion..." Kanda muttered stupidly, thinking he had seen something wrong.
"That shouldn't be an illusion."
"Senior Ren..."
Kanda looked at Ren, who was watching Li Nian walk away, and said thoughtfully: "It can be seen that our newcomer seems to be a person with many secrets..."
……
……
It turned out that Kanda accepted Li Nian's advice. He put a lot of effort into today's dinner and made a lot of delicious food.
But unfortunately, Shiina did not come down to the living room.
In the end, Kanda could only ask Aoyama to send her a copy, muttering worriedly, "Is Shiina's shock too great..."
Li Nian looked at the empty seat, but had a different guess. Instead, she felt that the child was not such a fragile person. Perhaps at this moment she had just appreciated the charm of the story written by [Xia Shizi].
After dinner, Li Nian returned to her room and, as usual, planned to use the evening time to type, planning to finish the ending of the novel today.
As soon as he turned on the computer and his fingertips touched the keyboard, Li Nian suddenly remembered that Ryunosuke had previously revealed to everyone that he was writing a novel.
He looked at the camera on his laptop, narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally opened the chat room and asked Ryunosuke about this matter directly.
——"Akasaka, have you ever hacked into my computer?"
Soon, there was a response.
--"Yes."
He actually admitted it outright.
I said that I had never told Sakurasou that I was writing a novel, so how could he know that? Was it true that his computer was hacked and the document I wrote was seen?
——"You..."
——"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Your level of defense is meaningless in front of me."
Still showing off?
There was nothing shameful in Li Nian's computer, and she didn't really care about trivial matters like privacy infringement, but she was still prepared to gently remind Ryunosuke...
——"Believe it or not, I will follow the Internet cable to find you and beat you to death (laughs)."
After waiting for half a minute, Ryunosuke sent a reply.
--"I was wrong."
Well, it seems that he is a good kid who can recognize his mistakes.
Li Nian knew that Ryunosuke probably had some sense of propriety by now and would not do such stupid things again, so he stopped asking about it, put this little thing behind him, and started typing.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on his door.
"The door is unlocked, please come in."
Shiina pushed the door open and walked in, holding the three books that Li Nian had given him in his arms. He got straight to the point with his first sentence.
"I'm going to look for Kasumi Shiko."
After hearing this, Li Nian stopped typing on the keyboard, glanced at the time, and found that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
He turned his chair to face Shiina and looked closely at her expression. Shiina had spoken in a firm tone before and her expression now seemed serious. It was obvious that this was her decision.
"Have you finished reading all three books?"
"I've finished reading it." Shiina nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's a great story."
Li Nian smiled. The recommendation was successful. There was one more fan of [Xia Shizi] in the world.
He stopped smiling again and his expression became serious.
"In that case, let me tell you my suggestion. You can go to her for cooperation."
"cooperate?"
"Yes, it's cooperation, not asking for help." Li Nian said solemnly: "Senior Kasumigaoka and I are not familiar with each other, and you are even strangers to her, so you can never expect others to help you wholeheartedly out of kindness and pity. This is neither realistic nor reliable. I'm not just referring to Kasumigaoka, but to all the people you hope to seek help from, including your current editor. Others' investment in you cannot be unrequited. Not everyone is a good person like Kanda. If you hope to get something from others, you should also be prepared to give something in return."
Shiina tilted his head.
"It seems difficult? I don't understand."
"...I think so." Li Nian smiled bitterly: "Well, I should put it more simply and directly... The person you are looking for is not me or Kanda. You don't know her, but if you want to get help from her, you have to prepare corresponding sincerity... For example, money?"
Shiina thought about it and asked cautiously.
"Are you talking about the countless numbers in my bankbook?"
Li Nian took a deep breath with a hiss.
"...You are indeed a world-class painter... But I am just using an analogy here. There are other things." Li Nian thought for a moment: "Money is too vulgar. Although it is indeed an option that can be considered - but I think that what that senior sister Kasumigaoka needs is perhaps just a kind of recognition."
"……I do not understand."
"You need to prepare something to impress her."
"what to prepare?"
"You're still asking me... You should figure it out yourself, because I don't know either."
"……I see."
"…Do you really understand?"
"I will paint it."
After leaving this sentence, Shiina turned around and left without hesitation.
Chapter 113: The Unexpected Examination
"???"
Li Nian didn't really understand what Shiina was thinking when she said this, or what she understood. She watched her leave with a confused look on her face.
But no matter what, it can be seen that the child is no longer as depressed as he was when he first heard that he was not selected. He seems to have cheered up quickly, and Li Nian feels a little relieved.
"No... This is not the time to feel at ease."
Now that Shiina has decided to go find Kasumigaoka, Li Nian can't help but wonder what she will do next.
Li Nian originally didn't want to interfere too much. He recommended [Xia Shizi] to Shiina only to provide an opinion and a way to try. Then, whether to use this information and what to use it for should be something Shiina should think about and strive for...
But now, thinking about whether Shiina will really have to talk to Kasumigaoka by herself, I feel like the ending will definitely be messed up.
Every resident of Sakurasou has witnessed how out of touch this silly girl is. Li Nian feels that it is a bit too difficult for Shiina to ask her to suddenly find a strange senior schoolmate and discuss a cooperation. If she is really such a smart and clever person, she would not have lived in Sakurasou... No, this statement is too euphemistic. She is just a social idiot and should never be allowed to negotiate things.
There is no doubt that a springboard and an intermediary are needed, and the most suitable person at the moment is... Li Nian himself.
Tsk...what a trouble.
"… Whatever, when the time comes, I will help them to the end. I will help them till the end."
Come to think of it, I don’t know which class Kasumigaoka is in in the third grade. I’ll have to ask Isayama about this when I get a chance.
After adding this option to the schedule, Li Nian temporarily made a note of it and buried it deep in his memory, then focused again on what he should do now.
Continue coding.
At this point, the progress was not as smooth as before. When writing this ending, the progress was not as fast as before, more than twice as slow.
It wasn't the last moment that Li Nian had any thoughts like fear and hesitation. He still didn't have these thoughts. He was the same as always, and when he was serious, he would not lose his focus and concentration.
It’s just that the closer you get to the completion stage, the more careful you should be, and naturally you should think more carefully than before.
You should review and compare the previous text repeatedly, make careful revisions and move forward slowly, with the goal of striving for the best.
However, even so, he is moving forward steadily.
The only thing that was certain was that he would finish the book tonight.
……
……
The next day, Li Nian came to school with the finished manuscript.
He also completed a simple initial typesetting of all the contents, printed them all out, and bound them into several books.
First, he handed a book to Wu Geng.
Wu Geng did not take over immediately, but looked at Li Nian with a frown.
"Did I say that we should wait until the winner is decided before exchanging glances?"
"Why don't you keep it for now and read it later? You have to go to the Service Department this afternoon anyway, right? Then you can take it home and read it later."
Looking at the smiling Li Nian, Wu Geng snorted, but still reached out and took his manuscript as he wished, and said another sentence.
"I can see that you are in a good mood?"
"Of course, now that I've finished writing, it feels like a huge rock has been lifted off my shoulders."
Li Nian leaned back in his chair as he spoke, looking relaxed.
"...Although I want to say something to discourage you...but first of all, I really have to congratulate you on completing the manuscript." Wu lowered his head and looked at the thicker printed copy in his hand. He sighed with some disbelief, "But I really want to ask, didn't you really already write all the content before?"
"Huh? That's not the case."
"Then how on earth did you manage to write so much in such a short time..."
It only took this guy a few days to write a whole book of over 100,000 words... This speed is really incredible.
Li Nian just thought of this, and knew that this efficiency was hard to explain. His eyes drifted left and right, and he scratched his chin and said vaguely: "... Maybe it's because I type faster?"
This statement was not convincing at all. Wu Geng stared at Li Nian suspiciously for a while, but he just used a confusing smile to cover it up, making it impossible to tell whether it was true or not. Wu Geng finally gave up investigating further.
"…If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
"Good morning, both of you... Haha~~~"
At this time, accompanied by a lazy greeting, Kato walked into the school quietly, yawning and sat in the seat next to her.
"Good morning, Kato-san. This is for you." Li Nian handed over a copy. "I have finished writing the entire thing, including the ending."
"……real or fake?"
Kato instantly became interested, perked up a little, took the book and started flipping through it.
"let me see……"
She gradually became more focused and quickly entered the reading state. Li Nian smiled and stopped talking to her, thinking that she still had a book to give to An Yi...
As soon as he was told, An Yi arrived at the school. He came over to greet Li Nian and asked her directly, "Did you write well yesterday? How much did you write? If you tell me you didn't write a single word, I will curse you!"
"Is it that serious?" Li Nian laughed.
"What are you talking about, the guy who brought out such a big secret to whet people's appetite? If you don't see the end in your lifetime, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
"Then you should let me go now." Li Nian handed over the copy that was originally prepared for him: "This is the finished manuscript."
"Finished so quickly?!"
An Yi was stunned, then instantly showed an ecstatic expression and snatched it away.
"Don't you know someone is waiting? If you are expected, you can only respond with all your strength."
Li Nian smiled gently.
