The rooms of the two are on the 18th floor, respectively 1801 and 1802, close together.

Akihara Hiroto took the suitcase from Asano, said goodbye briefly and returned to his room.He threw his luggage on the ground and lay directly on the big bed in the room.

Looking at the ceiling of the room, he sighed.

Today's signing event is really tiring!

It would be fine if it was just a simple signing and handshake, but the "enthusiasm" of book fans in Osaka is a bit unimaginable.

The book fans I met at several book signings in Tokyo just smiled politely and shook hands briefly. At most, I said a few words of encouragement, and there were few other superfluous processes.

But book fans here in Osaka, in addition to the above steps, often hold hands during the handshake process, and even ask for group photos or even hugs...

It's okay if it's a young female reader, but it's often the aunt who makes the request.

Hiroto Akihara closed his eyes, recalling the enthusiasm of "them", and couldn't help thinking of a post in his previous life, which was about the people of Osaka in the eyes of Tokyo citizens.

According to the description of this Tokyo citizen, Osaka citizens generally like to run red lights, quarrel in the "Kansai dialect" on the street, speak loudly in public places, have a bad service attitude, and are especially rude-as the representative "Aunt Osaka", even more Love to wear leopard prints, all of them are tough, and love to be petty and cheap.

Although there are many "regional blacks" in this post, some of them are true, such as the enthusiastic Osaka aunt, who has met a lot today.

I have a headache, it seems that there will be a signing event near Osaka University the day after tomorrow... I hope that all the students will come.

Hiroto Akihara sighed again.

Forget it, wash up and go to bed early, you can have a good rest tomorrow.

Just when he was about to take a bath, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Asano Aiko's voice came from outside the door, "Akihara, is it convenient now?"

Hiroto Akihara was a little puzzled, could something be wrong?

He hesitated for a while, then got out of bed and opened the door.

Under the dim light in the corridor, Aiko Asano stood at the door, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand.She looked like she had just showered and changed clothes, and her hair fell directly on her shoulders.

Asano Aiko gritted her teeth, and said in a vague tone: "You said before when you took me home... I can find you for drinking, so can I do it now? Someone gave me this bottle of wine..."

Akihara Yuto hesitated, but still agreed, "No problem, come in."

The two walked into the room one after the other, closed the door and sat on the table by the window. On this table, there were wine openers and wine glasses.

Hiroto Akihara opened the cork on the red wine bottle with a corkscrew, waited for the red wine to "wake up" in the bottle for a while, and then poured a glass for both of them.

After clinking glasses and taking a sip, Akihara Yuto glanced at Asano Aiko, and asked his doubts: "Asano, is there any problem with work?"

Just after asking, he found that Asano Aiko was a little bit out of his mind, and it was even more strange, "Is it the Anjiu Bookstore? Or the "April Youth" side?"

It's hard for him not to think so, because the last time Aiko Asano wanted to drink, there was a problem with her work at Mandansha.

Asano Aiko shook her head: "Anjiu Bookstore is fine, I just need to connect with Ms. Satake, and there is no trouble. The same is true for "Young People in April", the editor-in-chief Oshiro basically arranged everything. "

She paused and sighed, "I'm just a little emotional."

"What are you feeling?" Akihara Yuto was a little puzzled, took another sip of red wine, and subconsciously smacked his lips.

In fact, he can't appreciate red wine, it's just drinking it as water.Even in his previous life, he often just liked to add Sprite to red wine before drinking.

Asano Aiko glanced at him, "Akihara, how long have we been working together."

"Half a year," Hiroto Akihara frowned. To be honest, he didn't think Aiko Asano would not remember how long the two of them had worked together.

"Half a year," Asano Aiko sighed, lost in memory, "At that time, you were just a writer who hadn't debuted, and I was still a marginal person in "New". But I didn't expect that now you have reached this point , can be regarded as successful and famous.”

Hiroto Akihara thought she was just lamenting the past, so he laughed at himself: "Fame is still a long way off. I haven't won the Uemura Award yet, and I haven't had a work that has sold more than a million copies."

Asano Aiko nodded silently, and then drank the red wine in the glass. She looked at Akihara Yuto's confident face looming under the light of the room, and suddenly felt a strange sense of distance in her heart.

From the time she knew Qiu Yuan to the present, the gap between the two has become wider and wider, and she has watched the other party go from obscurity to today.

Especially the current situation of today's autograph meeting in full swing, let her witness the hotness of the other party.

But she herself...

To be honest, as the workload became smaller and smaller, she felt more and more that the high-paying job she got now was like a handout given to her by Hiroto Akihara...

When she was depressed, Hiroto Akihara smiled and said, "Asano, do you still remember the poem I wrote to you at that time?"

"Of course," Asano Aiko hesitated for a while, and then read out slowly: "There is a faint thunder, and the sky is cloudy, but I hope that the wind and rain will come, so I can stay here. Faint thunder, the sky is cloudy, even if there is no rain, I will stay here……"

While reciting the poem, a different feeling surged in her heart.

Hiroto Akihara held the wine glass, took a sip, leaned on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "Asano, although I don't know why you feel a little depressed, this poem represents my thoughts and my original intention. If possible, I would like to work with you to solve the problem."

He put down his wine glass, looked at Asano Aiko, and said softly, "Tell me what's on your mind, did you really encounter any problems?"

When Asano came to him with red wine, he felt something was wrong.So he kept beating around, trying to make the other party let go.

After all, although the identities of the two have changed from partners to superiors and subordinates, he has never forgotten the other party's help at the beginning.

But to his surprise, Asano Aiko shook her head, and then showed a bright smile, "You think too much, no problem, I just came to drink with you."

After listening to Akihara Yuto's words, most of her knots have been let go.

She felt that she was thinking too much. After all, wasn't her initial idea to make a best-selling book with Akihara Yuto?As for the others, why think so much? !

As an editor, that's all I can do. Why should I consider or even be jealous of the other party? !

She drank the red wine in her glass, then stood up and stretched.

She looked at Akihara Yuto, who was a little confused, and couldn't help but patted his shoulder with her hand, wanting to say "You are so kind", but felt embarrassed and didn't say it.

So she directly picked up the red wine bottle in front of her, and poured two-thirds of the empty glass for Akihara Yuto.

It doesn't matter, anyway, there is no work schedule for tomorrow, so let's get drunk on the culprit that troubled her today!

[Chapter 197.196 The Obsession to Get First]

Early the next morning, Hiroto Akihara sat in the cafeteria on the first floor of the hotel with dark circles under his eyes, a "tired" Yoko.

I don't know if it was because of the alcohol stimulation, but he didn't sleep well last night, and he didn't fall asleep until almost 5 in the morning.

Compared with him, Asano Aiko who was sitting across from her was full of energy.After drinking the bottle of red wine yesterday, she said goodbye and went back to sleep, and slept until dawn.

The two were eating breakfast on the plate when a female voice suddenly came from beside them, "Good morning, Mr. Akihara, Ms. Asano."

Hiroto Akihara looked up, and found that the person who greeted him was Toshiro Oshiro, the editor-in-chief of "April Youth".

After the two greeted each other with a smile, Oshiro Lixiang nodded with a smile, and sat down next to them with a plate, "Sorry, I had other work suddenly yesterday, so I delayed my arrival."
