The man from Wugeng's family is indeed reliable

It only takes half an hour to get there from home.

"He's there so early, how much he's looking forward to meeting me?" He muttered to himself as he climbed out of bed and looked at his slovenly self in the mirror with sleepy eyes. "I didn't go early just for this guy. Well, I went to check out the venue in advance. After all, I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha."

ta ta ta

A pair of plush slippers with chinchilla heads stepped quickly on the wooden stairs. In the blink of an eye, the girl was fully armed. Perhaps in order to avoid the influence of her age on the book signing event, she deliberately put on a more mature outfit.

A light blue dress and black stockings that clearly represent her character, along with white high heels and a small bag, this girl had finished her makeup as quickly as possible, just to appear before him as promised.

Appearing in front of the mirror again, she carefully checked herself to make sure there were no omissions or impoliteness, and then Kasumigaoka Utaha let out a sigh of relief.

"come on"

He made a gesture to encourage himself and gently closed the door of his home.

I’m coming to the book signing event, I’m coming to you, Hiroki Gokuru!

When did the saying "dreams will come true" begin?

It rained a little last night, and the air was filled with the smell of the morning after the rain. The dewdrops emitted colorful light in the morning light. Some people say that the moment the clouds disappear and the rain stops is the beginning and end of the rainbow's life, and so is the dew, and so is love.

Ever since she received Hiroki's call, Kasumigaoka Utaha has been feeling nervous. What adjective can be used to describe it?

Well, it's probably that kind of feeling that's like a fluttering deer.

With this feeling, she stood at the door of the book signing event.

"What about people?"

I stared blankly at the slight breeze blowing up the leaves and the banner that read "The Book Signing Event for the Popular New Writer Kasumi Shiko's New Book Love Metronome". The empty venue only had a table, chairs, a few simple ribbons and balloons.

The furnishings were as simple as ever, perhaps because Fuzukawa had always been less than enthusiastic towards new writers. The simple venue in front of her did not matter much to Kasumigaoka Utaha, but

"That guy! Did he lie to me?"

After standing there for ten minutes, the figure I was expecting still did not appear.

Her pink fists clenched slightly, Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red. When I heard the news about him, I was moving at full speed, but this guy!

Her long black hair slightly covered her pretty face, making it impossible to see her facial expression. From her slightly trembling shoulders, one could tell that she was sad or angry, but definitely not happy.

"Eh? You're here so soon?"

The voice that Kasumigaoka Utaha hated the most at the moment rang out from behind her. She looked back with wide eyes.

The originally loose T-shirt was now tightly attached to his body. The slightly cool morning was the most comfortable time, but the man was sweating and panting. His originally tall figure was now covered with shopping bags of all sizes, and he was holding a half-human doll wrapped in plastic film in his arms.

"Where have you been? Didn't you say you were here?" Looking up at the sweaty boy in front of her, Utaha Kasumigaoka's beautiful big eyes flashed with anger.

Hearing the inexplicable tone of Kasumigaoka Utaha in front of him, Hiroshi was stunned for a moment and stuck his head out from behind the bear to look at her. Beads of sweat slid from his forehead into his eyes. He blinked with blurred vision and spoke with a slight breath.

"I was already close when the call came. There was no one around then, and seeing how deserted it was, I wanted to buy some small accessories to decorate the place, but none of the shops nearby were open because it was so early. I ran for a block before I found one." His blurry vision gradually became clear, and the girl's face was still a little gloomy. Hiroshi couldn't help but shrink his neck, swallow, look away, and lower his voice. "But I didn't expect you to come back so soon. I obviously tried my best to fly to you."

The boy in front of me was holding a bear in a funny way, with plastic bags hanging all over his body. It could be seen from the logo on the bag that this was not a trademark of the nearby store, and the logo on the bag showed that this was not a product of one store. The farthest store was three blocks away from here.

Is this guy a fool?

Did you run so far to buy things just because the venue of her book signing event was so simple?

"You bastard..." Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head and slowly walked to Hiroshi, stretched out her pink fist and gently hit Hiroshi's chest, "Don't think I will forgive you so easily, decorate this place beautifully for me."

"Are you not angry anymore?" Feeling the fist hitting his chest, Hao Shu took a light breath and asked tentatively.

"Angry, I'm very, very, very angry right now. So, Haomu-kun, please do your best to complete the arrangements for my book signing event."

The wetness of sweat, accompanied by the rapid and powerful heartbeat from running, made the tips of her ears slightly red. Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at Hiroki in front of her, whose appearance and behavior were funny, and snorted heavily and said.

"That one belongs to Hiroshi."

"Hmm?" The girl in front of him looked at him with squinted eyes, as if saying, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Uh, I'm going to work. I have to finish the layout before I start." With an awkward smile, Hiroshi raised the bag on his body to signal and turned to work.

There are always people in the world who are sweating profusely, serious and dedicated to others. They don’t understand fraud or pyramid schemes, nor do they understand speculation. They use their sweat and hard work to exchange for results and gain the love and approval of others.

The fun in this is probably the unique enjoyment of the creators.

Tick

Sweat dripped onto the floor, splashing into fine water droplets. The two of them panted and smiled at each other.

Time quietly pointed to nine o'clock

The book signing event began with the two of them smiling.

His first book signing event has begun.

Chapter 27 The relationship between Hiroki Gokura and her

"Isn't this Senior Hiroshi? Are you also a fan of Teacher Laixia Shizi's books?" A voice mixed with surprise and excitement sounded behind him.

Lun also.

Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Hiroshi looked at the direction of the person with some surprise. It was not long after the book signing event officially started. Although the book signing event had already begun, the scene was still a bit deserted, with only a few readers coming. Moreover, he had not read Kasumi Shiko's works in depth, and had not understood many of the plots and foreshadowings, so he had nothing in common with the author. After a few awkward chats, he said goodbye with thanks.

For some reason, Hiroshi felt that Kasumi Shiko had been looking at him with a hint of apology. Why did he feel sorry? Was it a pity that all the hard work he put into setting up the scene was wasted?

Then let me make you happy.

With a smile on his lips, Hiroshi turned around and smiled at the boy behind him.

"Hey, Renya."

"Eh? Hiroki-kun, have you finally realized my feelings for you? You're finally willing to call me by my name."

"Go, go, go"

There were several black lines on Hao's forehead, and he waved his hand with a twitching mouth.

"Who has that weird feeling with you? Is it weird that I call you by your name?"

"No, no, no, I don't mean that. I just feel a little happy when I say that suddenly." He smiled and waved his hands, and looked at Hiroshi as if he were looking at his idol.

Perhaps we are not looking at Hiroshi, but seeing in Hiroshi the shining works he created.

"Excuse me, Hiroshi's latest work is about to be completed. Are you planning a new work?" With a turn of his eyes, Lun came forward and said seriously.

"Stop, stop, stop, this isn't my book signing event, why are you digressing so much? You didn't come all the way here just for me, did you?"

Seeing the two sides getting closer and closer, Hiroshi quickly pressed STOP.

“Well, that’s true, but it’s not easy.”

"No buts, are you leaving the real protagonist aside like this?" Hiroki gestured to Ren to look at Kasumi Shiko, who was sitting in the author's seat at the book signing event. "That's the real protagonist today. Aren't you here for her work? There aren't many authors you'd travel so far to attend a book signing. Don't you agree, famous blogger TAKI-kun?"

"That's right. Kasumi Shiko's work has also moved me a lot. I had to read it many times before I could slowly discover the ingenuity of her settings and the wonderful relationships between the protagonists."

"Yes, that's it." Hiroshi gave him an approving look. Perhaps it was this attitude of respecting the author's work that made Hiroshi, who never allowed strangers to enter, so tolerant of him, and even chatted with him normally as if there were other people around, like now.

"So, please, Taki-kun, give that depressed child a little attention. Gold will shine wherever it shines, but it needs someone to wipe away the dust that obscures its brilliance. So, please."

"Can't this guy Hiroshi do it?" There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and Lun didn't quite understand the story between him and Kasumi Shiko.

"Me?" Hiroshi was stunned. "My relationship with her is probably that of a teacher and a friend. I can understand the ideas and the charm of her works. But it is precisely because of this strange relationship that I am not suitable to talk about these things. Maybe it's because we know each other's works too well."

Maybe it’s because we are all creators.

I said silently in my heart that the world seen by the creator, the feeling of being fully immersed in it, what he sees, touches, and thinks about, all the scenery will become different.

"So can I ask you for help?" Looking at Renye in front of him, Hiroshi said with a smile, the undried sweat on his face shining in the sun.

"I'm not entirely sure, but what you've asked me to do is exactly what I'm best at, and it's what I'm most interested in doing. So, there's no need to thank me, just leave it to me."

Filled with such passion and fighting spirit, Ren also replied with a smile.

"Then I'll go first."

He bowed gently and took his leave, holding the book that still smelled of ink, and walked towards the writer Kasumigaoka Utaha. Looking at Tomoya walking away, Hiroshi couldn't help laughing.

When will otaku be able to give me a sense of security that I can rely on and trust?

Hiroshi smiled and waved goodbye to the joyful Tomoya. As the other party promised that he would definitely recommend this work on Twitter, Hiroshi smiled and looked at the midday sky.

"It's almost time to rest. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Kasumi Shiko and Teacher Gogen."

Editor Machida stood aside and looked at the young couple with a smile on his face.

"It's not hard at all. Just a few people came here and were bored to death this morning. Why hold such a weird event? I wrote this book for myself, not for the readers."

Kicking the floor in dissatisfaction, Kasumigaoka Shiuko said with a puffed face.

"Well, Xiaoshi, don't say that. Although this autograph session was not very successful, you will definitely be popular next time." Editor Machida looked at Shiyu with a smile on his face, and then glanced at Hiroki beside him secretly.

That’s right, you will definitely become famous next time, as long as you still stand by his side, because you are the one supported by Fuzukawa’s ace supernova, Hiroki Gokoro, the stupid-level great writer who uses his real name as a pen name.

Xiaoshi, what is it about you that makes this boy like you so much?

Editor Machida's eyes suddenly became playful. He stared at Hiroshi deeply again and said to the two of them with a smile.

"It's getting late, you two should go to the restaurant next door for dinner. Come on, Xiaoshi, there are all kinds of things."

She covered her mouth with her hands and smiled like a fox, then turned her back to the two of them and waved.

"Come on, go early and come back early"

There was something else behind the words. Although Haoshu didn't feel anything wrong, Shiyu beside him did hear it. Her face turned red and she looked at her toes awkwardly without saying a word.

"Well, shall we go eat now?"

The depressing atmosphere made Hiroshi not know what to say, so he had to take the initiative to bring up the topic.

"OK, all right."

Still immersed in a little shyness, Shiyu did not lose her mind. No matter where she was, she always stood on the side of attack.

In this way, he took the initiative to step forward and pulled Hiroshi's wrist, and strode forward in the other's surprised eyes.

Towards the place where the light was, the two figures were swallowed by the dazzling light

Chapter 28 Gokogen Hiroki, let’s do our best together

This period of time when the sun is shining brightly is one of the peak times of the day for restaurants and bars. This is especially true for restaurants located in this bustling area. The excellent geographical location and good reputation make the already crowded shops even more bustling.

After a busy morning, they finally got a chance to take a break during lunch. The two people, leaning tiredly on chairs facing each other, seemed a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

Shiyu played with a strand of hair in her right hand, recalling the events that happened yesterday and looking at Haoshu who was concentrating on eating with a slightly amused expression.

"Thank you so much for what you did this morning, Hiroki-kun."

Hiroshi, who was eating silently, swallowed the food in his mouth quickly when he heard the girl in front of him speak. He stared and thought for a while, it seemed that he really didn't help much in the book signing event, so

"Huh? I didn't do anything, why are you thanking me?"

Do you know this person, Renye?"

Looking at Shiyu who was smiling inexplicably, Haoshu was a little confused about what this guy was thinking.

"Yes, a former classmate."

"So you two have a good relationship?"

"Well, we were in the same class in elementary school, middle school, and even the beginning of high school. Well, that's probably where our relationship ends."

In response to this, Shiyu said in an enigmatic "Oh," "So thank you."

"Hiroshi frowned slightly and looked at Shiyu in silence for a while.

He vaguely felt that he seemed not very good at understanding what the girl was thinking at the moment, or in other words, he was not very good at understanding the inner thoughts of girls.

Instead of spending time trying to figure out the weird and complicated mentality, it is better to do the job perfectly, so Hiroshi said.

"Anyway, let's eat first. We still have to work in the afternoon."

When the word "work" was mentioned, Shiyu collapsed on the table as if all her energy was drained away, staring blankly at the food in front of her without saying a word.

"What happened? All of a sudden?"

He couldn't detect it in his mind, but it was clearly reflected in his actions and expressions. Even the slow-witted Hiroshi could feel that something was wrong.

"Work, work, work! I'm a creator, not a puppet! Why would I participate in such a weird activity when not many people are coming back to watch?"

The dismal results in the morning had more or less had some psychological impact on her, making her, who had rushed over, and Hiroshi, who was sweating profusely while setting up the venue, both a little disappointed.

"Well, this is something we have to go through, right? Isn't this what all so-called creators do? From the very beginning, we have the first reader, and then we slowly accumulate knowledge. Regardless of the quality of the work, aren't we all involved in the creation because of our initial love for it?"

It was natural that her initial results were not good, because she was just a newcomer in the industry, and the works she created were not something that would please the eye at first glance. Bunko Honsen's indifference to the promotion of new writers also made it difficult for this work with huge potential to shine. A situation completely opposite to Hiroki's book signing event took place at Kasumigaoka Utaha's book signing event.
