Xinyang greeted him before he even got close.

"Hey, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, you're here so early."

"Oh my, little one, you're finally here. I thought you stood me up, and I was just about to go to the Shefengxing to look for you."

Xin Yang handed over the drafts in his hand. "There's an old saying in Liyue: 'Slow work makes fine work.' These drafts also come with some illustrations. After your review and polishing as the editor-in-chief, it will definitely be a big hit."

Shen Zi took the draft from Xin Yang and glanced at it. "Oh~ I didn't realize your drawing skills are so good. Well, it saves me time. Since you are so confident, I must take a good look at it. I hope you won't let me down."

"These illustrations were drawn by Linghua. In a sense, this book was created by the two of us together."

Shen Zi closed the draft and said, "Is that so? I want to recruit her to Yaedo. Please help me find a way. After that, I can make you the deputy editor-in-chief of Yaedo, second only to me. How about it?"

"This condition does sound very tempting, but I can't agree to it. Linghua now has the life she wants, and no one can control her. The draft has been handed to you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Xinyang was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by the Son of God.

"Wait, do you have a pen name?"

"Pen name? What pen name?"

"If this light novel is successfully published, what name do you want the author to be?"

Xinyang scratched his head subconsciously, looking thoughtful: "Uh... As for this question, I haven't really thought about it before. Wait a moment, let me come up with a name on the spot." After that, he began to fall into deep thought.

In the world before he traveled through time, there was the Xinhua Society, which was one of the most influential in China in terms of communications. Since he had no other ideas, he decided to just call it Xinhua. Xin Yang said, "That's it! Let's call it 'Xinhua'. The 'Xin' is taken from my name, and the 'Hua' comes from Kamisato Ayaka. This not only shows the connection between the two of us, but it also sounds easy to read, doesn't it?"

Shen Zi nodded in approval. "Well, although it seems a little hasty and casual, the overall feeling is still good. Next, I have to study this light novel carefully. Once it is confirmed to be published, I will inform you as soon as possible. Then, we can discuss the details of our future cooperation."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Linghua's birthday is coming soon, and I have to give her a gift no matter what. Since I'm out today anyway, I might as well go shopping and see if there is anything that can be used as a gift.

He did what he said. After leaving Yaedo, Xinyang continued to wander around Inazuma Castle.

First, we went to the Naganohara Fireworks Shop and checked on the situation of Yoshimiya's father.

"Hey, Xiao Gong, you're open so early. How is your father?"

Xiao Gong heard someone calling out and looked out onto the street, waving, "Xinyang, why are you here? Dad has been discharged from the hospital a long time ago. Linghua has been here several times. Oh, and why didn't I see you when Linghua came here the last few times?"

"I've been collaborating with Yaedou recently on a light novel, and I just submitted it today." Upon hearing this news, Xiao Gong's eyes lit up. "Oh, that's fantastic! What's the name of the novel? I'll definitely buy it and read it as soon as it's published."

At that moment, Xiao Gong's father, Naganohara Ryunosuke, also came out of the house. Seeing two people standing at the door, he asked, "Girl, are there guests? Why don't you invite them in?" Seeing this, Xin Yang quickly raised her voice to greet Naganohara Ryunosuke, "Hello, uncle! Do you remember me?"

Naganohara Ryunosuke turned around, a smile on his face. "Of course I remember. You saved my life, how could I easily forget it?" Xinyang waved his hand hastily, saying modestly, "Please don't say that. Protecting the safety of all the people in Inazuma is our company's unshirkable responsibility. If we couldn't prevent you from suffering such serious harm, it's because we didn't do enough."

Naganohara Ryunosuke burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Young man, you truly are as kind and responsible as Princess Shiraha. You always take all the responsibility on yourself, but it is precisely because of outstanding people like you that I believe the Society Bugyo will be able to revive itself and regain its position as the head of the Three Bugyo!"

After a round of greetings, Xiao Gong suggested: "Why don't we go to the Tianmu Forge next door and pick out a special birthday gift for Linghua." So everyone went to the Tianmu Forge together.

Entering the house, Xin Yang saw a variety of exquisite weapons on display. Ling Hua had a profound understanding of kendo. Xin Yang carefully examined each sword, his eyes gleaming. Xin Yang thought to himself, "Buying her a Tenmokage tachi is a good idea, but giving her a sword for her birthday seems a bit inappropriate..."

After a moment's hesitation, Xinyang decided to explore other areas. He left the Tianmu Forge and continued his stroll through Inazuma Castle. As he passed a shop called Kinan Ryotei, he heard a burst of shouting from inside. Curious, Xinyang approached and saw the menu was filled with Inazuma specialties. These dishes were quite novel to him, but he felt that Linghua might prefer the exotic cuisine he prepared himself.

As Xinyang walked, he fell into deep thought. As the little princess of the community, Linghua seemed to have it all, both in terms of material possessions and status. So, what was it that she truly longed for deep down?

At this moment, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning - perhaps, what she lacked was only true friendship! Thinking of this, Xinyang couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Do you want me to pledge my love to you? Emmm, that's not impossible."

Thinking of this, Xinyang's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a faint smile.

However, despite searching everywhere for a long time, he still couldn't find a birthday gift that satisfied him. Just when Xinyang was almost disappointed and thought he would return empty-handed, a shop called "Oguraya" suddenly appeared before him.

The quality of the merchandise in this store is considered top-notch throughout Inazuma, and is commensurate with Linghua's distinguished status.

As soon as Xinyang stepped into the threshold of the small warehouse, his eyes were attracted by a folding fan.

This folding fan is very similar in appearance to the one Linghua usually holds, but its craftsmanship is more exquisite and sophisticated, and the patterns painted on the fan are also more delicate and gorgeous. It is indeed worthy of being given as a birthday gift to Linghua.
