In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 296 The Rainy Season Continues

The plum rain is as thin as needles, like smoke and mist, falling aimlessly over Tokyo.

"Tell me, what will it be like after we get married?"

"It must be very happy!"

Kai Uesugi dozed off in the classroom, always thinking about Hanamaru Hanabi smiling at him.

Every time I think of her shy and resisting appearance, I feel a little distracted.

"Hey, Uesugi Uesugi, which college is your fiancée from?"

Kai Uesugi opened his eyes and found that the professor of social literature on the podium was still tirelessly lecturing.

Behind him sat three classmates, Kiyosa Takejun, Totsuka Katsuragi, and Umezu Nana.

He also found that many of his classmates were taking naps like him, without the consciousness of being a high-achieving student at all.

However, some TU students seem to be lazy in class. In fact, at the end of the semester, as long as they do a surprise review for a week, all of them score above 90 points.

The assessment criteria, composition and representation of grades for subjects at the University of Tokyo are determined by the instructors.

Fortunately, the professors at Dongda University are very talkative. No matter how lazy you are in class during the period, as long as you pass the teacher's test, you will be fine.

Katsura Totsuka was asking him about Hanabi just now.

"She's not from our school." Kaoru Uesugi came to his senses and found that the blackboard was densely packed, so he quickly took notes.

"I know this. I was asking which university she is from. It's rare to see her come to play with you."

"Dongyi University, I went to their school to take classes before, and I was kicked out by their teacher." As soon as Uesugi Kai finished speaking, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the professor stopped teaching and tidied up slowly teaching materials.

"Awesome! How dare you go to Dongyi University to take classes without saying hello. I heard that some people went there before and were yelled out of the school."

"After all, there are a lot of female students there, and it's not good for a male outsider to enter," Uesugi Kai replied while taking notes, "By the way, why are you asking this?"

"Just curious, curious," Totsuka Katsura said with a smile, "Let me tell you secretly, many students in school are asking me about your relationship with your fiancée. The video of your performance at the May Festival last time It's pretty hot."

Katsura Totsuka likes to play and is well-informed. He has been to bars, worked as a cowherd, and has ridden bicycles around Hokkaido.

He doesn't have any special meaning, he just wants to experience life, and he only wants to taste it, not to get too deep.

As the saying goes, once you play, you lose it.

When I was in high school, I often stayed up late playing games and overslept the next day, so I simply gave up going to school.

Such a person can still be admitted to Dongda University, it is really more popular than others.

As for the video he said, it doesn't matter whether it is popular on the Internet, and Kai Uesugi doesn't rely on these fame to make a living.

Nana Umezu, who was sitting high behind, smiled and said, "Before that, I didn't expect you, Uesugi, to be able to play the guitar."

"I always feel like...Senior knows everything." Qing Zuo Zhujun recalled the name he got with bow, although he hadn't been to the bow department recently.

"No, I'm just an ordinary person, not omnipotent," Kai Uesugi picked up the handbag beside him, "I'd like to ask you to help me with something."

"what?"

Kai Uesugi took out three bound white-sealed documents from his bag, and handed them out to the three of them.

"Miss Miko is a fox demon?"

Totsuka Katsura opened it for a few glances, it seemed to be a light novel, "Uesugi, have you started writing light novels?"

Everyone looked at him.

"I didn't write it," Uesugi Kai said to everyone, "how can I put it this way, if this book sells well, it will be good for me."

"It wasn't written by the seniors."

"That's a pity. I'm still looking forward to the light novel written by you."

Both boys Totsuka Katsura and Kiyosa Takejun have read some famous light novels.

Such as Monogatari series, Joke series, Literary Girls.

Umezu Nana hasn't read much, and she also saw some ridicules on the Internet, "I heard, isn't it said that light novels are just selling illustrations?"

Totsuka Katsura: "That's not necessarily the case, although most types of literature are gimmicks for a certain whimsical idea."

Kiyosa Takejun said: "This is actually influenced by acg. They make mainstream light novels more visually appealing, increase the proportion of illustrations, and move closer to otaku in terms of overall style, emphasizing contradictions and lacking logic. As a result, light novels are more and more inclined to a large number of beautiful illustrations, and the text is not very important.

"This is actually not good, because the real essence of the novel is still the text. Without the spirit of the text, buying a light novel is just buying a few illustrations, with some simple introductions."

"It mainly depends on who the author is." Totsuka Katsura turned the paper in his hand, read the first few paragraphs carefully, and then raised his head and asked, "Uesugi, are you a new author?"

"You see it?" Uesugi Kai thought that there was nothing immature about this document that had been revised several times.

"Well," Totsuka Katsura glanced at the beginning again, "because this is not a light novel, and the first plot at the beginning doesn't go directly to another world."

Qing Zuozhujun looked at the white cover and found that there was no signature. The few dozen thin pages should be only the previous volume:
"Senior. The style looks familiar to me. Does the author have any previous works?"

Kai Uesugi thought about it seriously, "It seems that there is a debut novel called "Chasing the Stars."

Katsura Totsuka saw Kiyosa Takejun who seemed to know him, "You know?"

"Well, I've seen it, and finished it."

Meizu Nana asked: "What are you talking about? I want to try it too."

"Adventure story, tells the story of a junior middle school heroine who lost her father since childhood and meets a boy named Mou. They accidentally ran into the heroine's father who had been dead for many years at school, and the two followed the traces of the 'father' Going forward step by step, I gradually discovered the sign called "God's Hidden", and soon realized the incredible secret behind "God's Hidden" through the token of 'Father', and finally, under the guidance of 'Father', entered the The legendary underground kingdom that can resurrect the dead."

"This is the content of the first volume." Kiyosa Takejun added.

"Sounds like fun."

"Well, it's a pity that the results are not very good, and until now it is only a work of the unpopular niche."

While they were talking, Totsuka Katsura had already finished reading the first few pages of "The Witch Fox Demon", "It's pretty good, by the way, Uesugi, how do you want us to help with this?"

Kai Uesugi: "The first is appreciation, the second is advice, and the third is opinion."

Uesugi Kai believes that they can give good opinions. The author's work is quite good, but he is not very confident.

There was another important reason why he was willing to use his classmate relationship, that is, after Pingchuan knew that there were works in their library that Hanabi was in charge of illustrations, he helped out a little.

After a little harmony, the entire novel company is willing to give up 10% of the profits to the artist.

That is to say, in addition to the income of the original author, Hanamaru Hanabi also gets 10% of the profit of the library.

Kaoru Uesugi doesn't know how much the 10% is, but since the sales volume of the work is concerned, he has no choice but to help check the quality and ask his classmates and professors at the University of Tokyo to give some opinions.

As for saying that they don't understand light novels, that's not necessarily true.

Popular literature has always been an object worth studying.

Many students also discussed light novels in their small papers.

There are also many light novels recognized by mainstream literature.

As for what is a light novel, there is no conclusion yet, but it is mainly aimed at young people, and it is a genre literature specially aimed at young people.

Even if the matter is explained like this, Uesugi Kai feels that this can be regarded as doing his best for Hanabi.

At noon, he ate in the cafeteria of Dongda University, and in the afternoon he read in the central library. He didn't lie down by the window to listen to the rain until his eyes were tired.

When I woke up, there was only an unfinished can of coffee beside me.

The rainy season continued to fall outside the window.

The hot tide in the rainy season is actually not conducive to the growth of flowers, and it is even very likely that the roots will rot in the soil due to excessive humidity.

Therefore, most of the planting will be carried out in spring and autumn, and the rainy season should be avoided as much as possible.

Plant flowers.

Kaoru Uesugi stood on the Ginkgo Road at the University of Tokyo and looked at the sky, thinking of buying some flowers in vases for his family.

His skill of growing flowers has not been displayed for a long time, and the large group of green plants at home were taken care of by his mother.

He wanted a garden, a garden where Hanabi could be with Hanabi and take care of things.

Weed together, plant flowers together, and sit on the big bluestone to chat and rest together.

In the end, in the step-by-step efforts, seeing the garden that the two of them jointly built gradually completed, the happiness and satisfaction of sitting in the shade of flowers and leaves and enjoying the garden together will definitely be unforgettable.

Holding an umbrella, he walked out of the school gate.

In the evening when Hanabi came home and was busy with cooking, Uesugi wanted to give her some gifts and little surprises. He thought of the fragrance of lilies on her body, so he was going to buy some fresh-cut lilies for her, and then decorate them at home for a few days.

Coming to Daejeon Market on a rickety tram, he opened his umbrella, stepped out of the station, and walked slowly along the street.

You can actually buy fresh cut flowers at a flower shop near the University of Tokyo, but if you want to buy cheap and affordable flowers with better quality, you should go to Ota Flower Market to buy them.

Ota Market has the largest trading volume of flowers in Japan, and it is a veritable big flower market in the whole country.

The market is located in the lower right corner of Ota District, Tokyo, next to Tokyo Bay, and a large number of fresh flowers flow into the flower market every day.

There is also a racecourse diagonally across from the flower market. I heard that a Chinese man won 5 billion yen there in 95 years, and ran back to China without paying taxes.

But the fact is that he only earned more than 10 billion, and he has been doing data analysis and forecasting within 5 years.

Even with scientific analysis, betting on horses is too unreliable. Unless you have the BUFF of lucky MAX, you will never touch it.

"How much is it?"

"880 yen."

Kai Uesugi picked up the packaged bouquet of roses, ten in total.

Ten roses cost 880 yen, which is more than ten times cheaper than a flower shop. A rose in a flower shop costs about 500 yen.

Seeing the magnificent crimson in his hand, Kai Uesugi had the idea of ​​buying roses.

The key is that buying flowers here is too cheap, he even wants to buy 999 flowers and decorate the whole house, so that Huahuo will be moved by him when he returns home.

But this...wouldn't it be too old-fashioned?
One rose is a gift, and nine hundred and ninety-nine roses are also a gift. Why do I feel very old-fashioned?

Kai Uesugi holds an umbrella in his left hand, and admires flowers in his right hand, and occasionally sniffs them.

"Sir, are you going to give the rose to your girlfriend?" The flower seller was a little girl who looked like a high school student, wearing a Western-style high school uniform.

For some reason, Kai Uesugi always felt that she was looking at his face.

"To be precise, it's the fiancee."

"Fiancee."

Uesugi Kai noticed that she was slightly absent-minded for a few seconds, and the passionate highlights in her eyes also faded a little.

Does a girl's love come and go quickly?
He put the rose back in its original place, and then pointed to the colorful lilies on the other side: "What about this one?"

"Wait a minute, I can't remember the price of some varieties of lilies." She hurriedly took out a small pink sticker to check the price written on it, and then said, "Zoro, wooden door 770 yen, Ma Long, Te Hong , Sino red are 900 yen, pink double petals and white double petals are 1200 yen.”

All are ten flowers.

Among lilies, the price of white multi-headed double petals is actually the highest.

There is a reason for being expensive, and the color, fragrance, and appearance of flowers are all different.

In fact, the buds of this kind of lilies bought in the market should not be too ripe, that is, the flowers are too blooming.

Their buds will be in a closed state and belong to the time period when they are about to open.

Holy and elegant, everything is satisfactory.

Uesugi Kai intends to use Lily to give this heart to Hanabi.

Thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have officially sent her flowers yet.

The pot of lilies that she had given away earlier had been watered to death by her with chili water. At that time, she was probably still wondering why the two favorite things couldn't go well together.

Every time I think of her clumsy appearance when she was a child, a little smile can't help showing on the corner of her mouth.

Although the rain was heavy, it was hard to stop her bright smile.

Kai Uesugi picked up a bouquet of white lilies with double petals, smelled the elegant fragrance, then raised his head and said to the little flower seller, "Just this bouquet."

"Good, good."

After paying the money, Uesugi Kai hugged the flower and was about to leave. The little flower seller seemed to be hesitating, as if she wanted to ask him something, but she didn't muster up the courage to speak until he left.

Kaoru Uesugi didn't stay too long, he didn't want to leave any unrealistic fantasies for the little girl, the two had no intersection, according to a well-known saying, they were just passers-by in life.

The most important reason is that he only wants to be devoted to Xiao Huahuo.

Although she didn't say it, Uesugi knew that she was the kind of girl who would only be silently sad.

Don't say it's bitter when you're hurt, don't say it's painful when you're beaten.

Therefore, Uesugi Kai also hated her being wronged the most.

Speaking of which, Hanamaru Hanabi has recently met a lot of stalkers on the university campus.

Beautiful and lovely girls will definitely be pursued by others, which is understandable, and there is nothing wrong with expressing love, but if it is too much, Uesugi Kai will let them know what bow and sword are ruthless.
