The correct posture of Ke Xue's love

Chapter 164 What Are You Mine?
After putting away the items in the luggage bag, Gu Shuiquan took the package and opened it casually.

Ok?
Contrary to Gu Shuiquan's expectations, it was not a trophy of the Edogawa Ranpo Award, but a prize and certificate of the Japan Mystery Writers Association Award.

The winner was "Secret", which he had just submitted recently, which is also the work of Keigo Higashino.

It's just that not long after the book was submitted, the certificate was sent, and he wasn't even notified of any award ceremony he was going to attend, and there was no news about the Luanbu Award that had been rumored for a long time.

Is this also a timeline choice?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Gu Shuiquan didn't think about this trivial matter, but changed his clothes, then sat down at the desk, took out the third novel and continued to write.

……

evening.

"Clang~ I'm coming."

Suzuki Sonoko flew to the coffee table, and the youthful and active atmosphere seemed to fill the entire coffee shop.

Gu Shuiquan put down the book in his hand leisurely, glanced at her, and said gently:
"You look very energetic today. Did something good happen?"

"Hehehe, there is indeed a good thing, but it is your good thing. Dangdangdang~ What do you think this is?" Suzuki Sonoko took out a piece of paper as if offering a treasure.

Gu Shuiquan took it over, opened it and saw that it was a certificate of the Ranpo Award, and said with some amusement:
"Is this worth your joy?"

"Of course! Now you have won the Edogawa Ranpo Award, the Mystery Writers Association Award next year, and the Naoki Award the year after, so you will be a rare triple crown~ By then you will be a well-known mystery novel home, and I am the well-known mystery novelist..." Suzuki Sonoko was stuck.

"What about a famous mystery novelist?" Gu Shuiquan looked at her jokingly.

"It's...girlfriend."

"No, start over."

"The... lover?"

"Again."

"It's... madam..." Suzuki Sonoko's voice was like a mosquito.

"Louder, I can't hear you."

slap~
Suzuki Sonoko patted his arm angrily.

"Wife of a well-known mystery novelist, you don't have to wait so long. I have already received the Mystery Writers Association Award, and I am in the room. The third novel is almost finished, and then I will submit it for the Naoki Award. No need to wait later Year."

"So, you'll be able to call yourself that soon."

"Huh? So fast? That's amazing! I heard that these awards are hard to win?"

"It's really difficult, but since I stole a novel that was supposed to win an award, it's not that difficult."

"steal?"

"Well, stealing novels that will win prizes in the future."

"You say that, why do I feel that you are boasting?"

"Huh? Why do you think so?"

"Aren't you saying that you are sure that these novels of yours will win awards, so you wrote them?"

"..."

This understanding... seems to be okay.

"By the way, some students in your class have already read that "After School" book, and they rated it very highly. They admire you very much~"

"That's it, as long as you're happy."

"Huh? Why do you react so flatly?"

"Isn't my appearance in line with my usual image?"

"... Seems to be right." Suzuki Sonoko froze for a moment, then nodded.

"By the way, there is already a forum on the Internet to discuss your book, a forum for mystery novels."

"That's it."

"I remember you have a computer, I'll show you, hurry up."

Gu Shuiquan was reluctantly dragged into the room by Suzuki Sonoko.

The door clicked shut, and the sound made Suzuki Sonoko tremble, until then, she didn't realize what she was doing.

A girl hurriedly dragged the boy into his room...

"Why are you blushing? It shouldn't be hot today, right?"

"It's nothing." Sonoko Suzuki said pretending to be calm, then sat down at the desk and turned on the computer.

"I'll show you."

"Ah."

Gu Shuiquan sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Suzuki Sonoko's side face.

"...Is there something on my face?"

"There are flowers."

"Hate……"

Rolling his eyes, Gu Shuiquan smiled.

The speed at which the computer started up made Suzuki Sonoko a little anxious. He didn't feel it at ordinary times, but now he feels that this speed is particularly hateful.

Finally, the familiar interface appeared, and Sonoko Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief. She manipulated the keyboard and mouse skillfully, opened the browser, and entered the URL.

"It's this website. I saw people discussing your book on it, and they all gave good reviews."

Gu Shuiquan didn't look at the computer, but kept looking at Suzuki Sonoko.

"Don't look at me, look at these comments."

Gu Shuiquan smiled and moved his gaze to the computer.

"The ending is really powerful~ It's very enjoyable~"

"It's amazing, I like it, the awesome reason for killing, and the neat trick."

"The truth or something, maybe you will be happier if you don't know."

"..."

Suzuki Sonoko slid the progress bar for Gu Shuiquan to look at it one by one.

"There are also long comments, I'll look for them."

She was busy again.

"Look, that's it."

"At two o'clock in the middle of the night, I read the book "After School" in bed, and I felt a cold sweat, half because of the difficulty and determination of youthful feelings, and the other half because of Higashino's meticulous and vigorous style of writing and powerful relaxation.

Keiko's sentence, we are this age.Yes, they are at that fragile and sensitive age, at an age that is too pure to tolerate a little profanity.

……

……

When the final motive was revealed, we couldn't help but sigh with regret, and a casual glance turned the girl's heart into a vortex of revenge.In this cold story, Dong Ye patiently suppressed the motive of committing the crime until the last moment.

In other words, Higashino’s methods are more than that. In the last two pages, he played a card that directly hit the nerves. Compared with the struggle for fame and fortune in the adult world, the thoughts of high school girls are straightforward and pitiful.

What is more likely to make people want to kill, and what is more cold as ice, I was thinking hard in the bed at night when I was thinking about it. "

There are still a few comments below, but Gu Shuiquan didn't read any more.

"Speaking of which, does the pseudonym you use mean anything? Higashino Keigo?" Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously.

"Nothing special, I just think these books should use this name."

"So that's it." Suzuki Sonoko nodded, with a look of sudden realization, and she didn't know what she understood.

"Look again, there are many more in the future, all saying that you write well~" She looked cheerful.

But, suddenly, the smile on Suzuki Sonoko's face froze, and Gu Shuiquan, who had been looking at her profile, immediately noticed it.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just someone talking nonsense to discredit your work." Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were red with anger.

"let me see."

"No, don't read it, this is intentionally discrediting you, and it will do nothing but make you angry." Suzuki Sonoko looked aggrieved, and swiped the mouse to close the webpage.

Gu Shuiquan held her hand, got up and stood behind her, resting her head on his chest.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't mean that this book won the Rampo Award because of the power of the Suzuki family?" Gu Shuiquan joked lightly.

Then, turn to the page just now.
