Zongman: The Qilin Child of Xuanyuan Family

The sun, which was hanging high in the sky, suddenly gathered a cloud to cover most of its body, and was no longer as scorching as it was during physical education class.

Finding a shady spot sheltered by the wall, Xuanyuan Ning began to flip through the newly bought romance light novel.

After learning that Shiina Mahiru had a dream of writing light novels, Xuanyuan Ning also consciously or unconsciously began to develop in the field of light novel writing, and planned to help Shiina Mahiru check it out when the time comes.

I heard the sound of the rooftop door opening.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who ran to the rooftop to start typing for the second volume of "Love Metronome", glanced sideways slightly, wanting to see who the uninvited guest who came here during class would be.

You have to know that the reason why Kasumigaoka Utaha was able to get the key to the rooftop gate was entirely because of her excellent grades, which allowed the teacher to give her a favor.

【Xuanyuan Ning?】

Seeing that the person coming was Xuanyuan Ning, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was a little confused. Obviously, she didn't expect to meet the other party here by chance.

Noticing that Xuanyuan Ning came to the rooftop to read a book, Kasumigaoka Shiina became interested and wanted to see what book he was reading.

When she saw clearly the light novel Xuanyuan Ning was reading, her beautiful eyes were stunned.

She discovered...the light novel Xuanyuan Ning was reading was the "Love Metronome" she wrote!

"Senior, it's very rude to stare at people like that."

Xuanyuan Ning turned a page of the light novel in his hand and said lightly without raising his head.

"Oh? Junior, if you weren't looking at me, how would you know I was looking at you?"

With Xuanyuan Ning's initiative to talk, Kasumigaoka Utaha refuted on the spot.

It just so happened that Kasumigaoka Utaha had no inspiration for the second volume she was going to write, and she wanted to see if she could find some inspiration from Xuanyuan Ning.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was secretly delighted that Xuanyuan Ning was her light novel reader.

Kasumigaoka Utaha planned to ask Xuanyuan Ning what he thought of her work "Love Metronome" without revealing her pseudonym "Kasumigaoka Utaha".

"The gaze is too obvious. I can clearly feel the senior sister's gaze without even looking."

"Excuse me, is there something wrong with me, Senior?"

Closing the light novel in his hand, Xuanyuan Ning looked up and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha seriously.

Xuanyuan Ning still has a deep impression of this senior who has the same hair color and pupils as himself. The friend of that idiot Eriri Sawamura seems to be also a friend of that guy Aki?

"Junior, is it possible that you secretly..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha instinctively wanted to taunt Xuanyuan Ning, but when she noticed Xuanyuan Ning's eyes starting to turn dangerous, she immediately changed her words: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just a little interested in the light novel in my junior's hand."

"light novel?"

Xuanyuan Ning tossed the Love Metronome in the air and raised an eyebrow: "Senior, as a top student in the third year of college, is also interested in light novels?"

"Since the junior who can represent the students and give a speech is interested in light novels, it shouldn't be surprising that the senior is also interested in light novels."

"really."

Xuanyuan Ning nodded in agreement with what Kasumigaoka Utaha said.

Then he looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a playful look: "So... Kasumigaoka-senpai is Kasumigaoka-sensei?"

After being exposed on the spot, Kasumigaoka Utaha's face changed drastically. Some bad memories from the book signing event appeared in her mind, making her instinctively take two steps back.

laugh...

"Why are you so alert? I'm not your loyal reader, and I'm not interested in you either."

Xuanyuan Ning, who saw through Kasumigaoka Utaha's little thoughts at a glance, sneered and then turned his attention to the light novel in his hand.

Anyone who wants to be a bootlicker can do so, Xuanyuan Ning is not interested anyway.

There are so many girls with good figures in the world, and there are some who are more plump than Kasumigaoka Utaha. With the power behind Xuanyuan Ning, those people would probably beg Xuanyuan Ning to get on their bed.

The two steps that Kasumigaoka Utaha took back seemed so ridiculous to Xuanyuan Ning.

Hearing Xuanyuan Ning's sneer, Kasumigaoka Utaha also reacted.

The fact that Xuanyuan Ning was not afraid of Sawamura Eriri at the beginning shows that she has a background that is no less than that of the Sawamura family.

How could Xuanyuan Ning, with such a background, be like those perverted readers at the book signing event who wanted to pounce on him the moment they met him?

"Junior, private Marseille, it was my problem just now."

Kasumigaoka Utaha is not as tsundere as Sawamura Eriri. She can let go of things easily and directly bowed to apologize to Xuanyuan Ning.

"Senior, can you tell me what happened?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's straightforward apology made Xuanyuan Ning look at her with a higher opinion.

I didn't expect that there were normal people among those who could play with Eriri Sawamura and Tomoya Aki.

"Junior, would it be convenient for me to sit down and talk?"

Pointing to the empty seat next to Xuanyuan Ning, Kasumigaoka Utaha clasped her hands together as if asking for help.

Apart from the idiot Eriri Sawamura, Xuanyuan Ning is also the first upper-class person that Kasumigaoka Utaha has met who still reads light novels, so she wants to ask Xuanyuan Ning what he thinks about "Love Metronome".

Kasumigaoka Utaha wants to see how Xuanyuan Ning will judge her first light novel.

"can."

Moving from the middle to the side, Xuanyuan Ning left ample space for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Thank you."

With Xuanyuan Ning's permission, Kasumigaoka Utaha took the newspaper that had been placed on the ground to block the dust and spread it over the shadow left by Xuanyuan Ning.

Xuanyuan Ningliu's position was very delicate. If both of them sat at the edge, there would be enough space for one person in the middle.

I don’t know if Kasumigaoka Utaha did it on purpose, but she moved closer to the middle, only a fist away from Xuanyuan Ning.

Chapter 59: Senior sister, you have never been in love, right?

Xuanyuan Ning glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was very close to him without saying a word, and the light novel in his hand was also closed by the boy.

Everything has a price.

The fact that Kasumigaoka Utaha keeps such a close distance between her and me means that she must have something she wants from me.

Having seen how you treat your friends, do you still want anything from me?

interesting.

Xuanyuan Ning became a little interested in Kasumigaoka Utaha and looked forward to what fun she could bring him.

"Junior, what do you think of 'Love Metronome'?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke out her purpose.

"'Love Metronome'?"

Glancing at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who looked expectant, in surprise, Xuanyuan Ning said frankly, "It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away."

Recalling what he had read in this light novel, Xuanyuan Ning added a sentence.

"Senior, you must have never been in love, right?"

Xuanyuan Ning's last addition dealt a critical blow to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

That’s right, Kasumigaoka Utaha has always been the top student in her grade since she entered Sobu High School and is also the admiration of her younger classmates.

I've never been in love!

Because the sales of "Love Metronome" were dismal when it was first published, it finally started to improve after Tomoya Aki's help in promotion.

I had been planning to confess my feelings to Tomoya Aki after the start of my sophomore year, but unexpectedly I encountered Xuanyuan Ning.

After seeing Tomoya Aki's attitude towards Eriri Sawamura, Utaha Kasumigaoka was no longer so anxious to confess.

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't figure it out. She just wanted to ask Xuanyuan Ning about his thoughts after reading the book "Love Metronome" she wrote, but why did the other party directly see that she had never been in a relationship?

"Junior, this has nothing to do with my problem."

Without admitting or denying, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned the topic back to her light novel.

"Senior, your 'Love Metronome' is so sweet, it's almost unreal."

"It's so sweet that you give the male protagonist a very ordinary setting, but he can win the heart of the female protagonist without any obstacles."

"This doesn't make sense. Just relying on mutual affection is useless. You don't have the redemption, the tension, the breakups and reunions that light novels should have. You're just blindly giving out sweet nothings."

"Sent to... You don't know how to write anymore now."

Xuanyuan Ning said as he looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha who had a guilty look in her eyes.

If a light novel like "Love Metronome" continues to give out sweet things, it should stop when the sweetness is almost finished.

But looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression, it's obvious that she wants to continue writing the second volume. Having used up all the saccharin, Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally doesn't know what to write next.

Having never been in a relationship and never experienced the breakups and reunions, Utaha Kasumigaoka can only figure out the ins and outs of it on her own.

The framework was not constructed well, and the editor was chasing me to submit the manuscript. Under the pressure from both sides, the collapse of the second volume was inevitable.

“Well, I really can’t write anymore…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her laptop and pointed to the draft of her second volume, which she was never satisfied with no matter how she revised it. "Junior, can you take a look at it for me?"

Xuanyuan Ning was able to point out the problems of her light novel incisively and accurately, and Kasumigaoka Utaha believed that after reading her second volume, he would be able to give her effective suggestions.

"No."

Xuanyuan Ning refused without thinking.

What a joke! I have no relationship with Kasumigaoka Utaha, and I have no obligation to help her for free.

Xuanyuan Ning's straightforward rejection left Kasumigaoka Utaha stunned.

After all, she is a beautiful girl, so Xuanyuan Ning shouldn't think about it more.

Xuanyuan Ning, who is unromantic, doesn't want to continue to argue with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Instead of asking me to help you read the second volume, why don't you find a boyfriend and experience the feeling of love yourself."

“No matter how much you say, you can never compare to experiencing it yourself.”

"Tsk, you guys are so noisy." A slightly irritated voice sounded from above.

A young girl with her long silver hair tied into a high ponytail poked her head out.

The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and spoke dissatisfiedly to Xuanyuan Ning and Kasumigaoka Shiyu below.

Obviously, the conversation between the two people below has disturbed each other's sleep.

"Kawasaki-san, it's class time now, and this class is with Mr. Hiratsuka."

Xuanyuan Ning saw the origin of the girl above and reminded her with a smile.

There's new fun, which is great.

Xuanyuan Ning happened to know the girl who was catching up on her sleep above.

It was Saki Kawasaki from her class, who always gave off an aura of "don't come near me", often causing other classmates to mistake her for a bad girl.

According to Xuanyuan Ning's understanding, Saki Kawasaki's performance seems to be at an average level.

In other words, the other party does not have the privilege to skip classes.

"Hiratsuka...Sensei? Hiratsuka Shizuka!?"

Saki Kawasaki, who was still dizzy after being woken up, became instantly clear-headed when she heard Xuanyuan Ning mention Shizuka Hiratsuka's name, and even the bad mood that had just arisen in her mind disappeared at this moment.

Saki Kawasaki quickly jumped down from above and was about to open the door to the rooftop and rush to the classroom.

Shizuka Hiratsuka's iron fist of justice is equal to men and women, and Saki Kawasaki is also afraid of Shizuka Hiratsuka's fist.

As soon as she gripped the handle of the iron gate, Saki Kawasaki noticed something wrong and looked at Xuanyuan Ning suspiciously.

"Xuanyuan, if this is Mr. Hiratsuka's class, why don't you go to class and have time to talk about love here?"

"I transferred to Sobu High School with perfect scores in all subjects."

Xuanyuan Ning looked at Saki Kawasaki with a smile.

"What about her?"

Saki Kawasaki turned her gaze towards Utaha Kasumigaoka.

"I have been ranked first in my grade since I entered school."
