Gu Gu Zhengming picked up the paper, frowned and looked at it for a few times, and found that the amount was irresistible to him.

He took the note hesitantly, and sighed, "I agreed, but I still want to ask, aren't you afraid that the follow-up of "Detective Uemura" will not be as good as "Ren Saburo Guhata"?"

The young man shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu Gu, don't underestimate the strength of our publishing house. Besides, there are quite a few works that are popular but not popular. Who knows if it will be the next one."

Having said that, he himself didn't notice that when talking about "Guhata Ren Saburo", his tone became a lot more serious.

……

Hiroto Akihara has no idea about the importance "Tokyo Youth" attaches to him.In fact, even if he knew, he himself would not think too much.

At this moment, he finished his work on the book signing, and was taking the Shinkansen with Aiko Asano, preparing to return to Tokyo.

The reason for him to do this is just because the Japanese New Year is here.

Due to the influence of the West, the Japanese New Year adopts the Gregorian calendar, that is, January 1st to January 1rd as the new year.But in fact, due to folk customs, before January 1th can be counted.

During this period, Japanese nationals have basically entered a state of "hibernation", stopping work and resting at home.

So even if another signing event is held, probably no one will come...

But what can I do for the new year?

When Akihara was deep in thought, Asano Aiko looked away from the window next to the seat, glanced at Akihara Hiroto, and asked, "Akihara... how do you arrange for the New Year?"

Akihara Yuto shook his head and said helplessly, "Sleep...eat...sleep...eat..."

He really didn't know what he could do, even if he went to find a friend, that is, Yuto Imamura, and the other party said that he would go back to his hometown for the New Year.

Asano Aiko smiled, she didn't expect Akihara's Chinese New Year to be so boring, it was just like that...

She thought about it, and found that it was not surprising. Hiroto Akihara is still single and grew up in an orphanage without parents, relatives or friends.

She hesitated for a moment, considering whether to invite the other party to her home for the New Year.

After all, the other party is a man, and it might not be appropriate to bring him home for the New Year - my mother already liked Akihara Yuuto, and even wanted to make herself a pair with him, although I wouldn't object, but it wouldn't I'm in a hurry...

And as a woman, it would be too blatant to make such a proposal.

She thought about it for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more shy she became, and finally she could only pretend to say: "Uh, that's it, then you should have a good rest, and I will visit your house after New Year's Day."

Hiroto Akihara nodded and didn't say anything. In his opinion, this New Year's day, he just eats and sleeps honestly... just treat it as a holiday for himself.

While the two were silent, the train continued on.

When driving to a viaduct, Asano Aiko suddenly seemed to see something, "Akihara, look!"

Hiroto Akihara suspiciously looked in the direction she pointed, that is, the window of the train, and saw a huge mountain standing directly above an urban area.

The top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the whole reveals a remote and heavy feeling, which makes people feel solemn.

Hiroto Akihara soon realized that this mountain is the sacred mountain in the eyes of the Japanese people - Mount Fuji.

Asano Aiko said with a smile: "Akihara, we are so lucky!"

"Why do you say that?" Akihara Yuto was a little puzzled. In his opinion, it was just looking at a mountain.

Asano Aiko shook her head, "If you want to see Mount Fuji on the Shinkansen, you can only see it when the weather is good. When I came to Osaka before, I didn't see it because the weather was relatively dark."

After a pause, she emphasized: "It seems that our work in the next year can make great progress!"

"Ok?"

"Akihara, isn't this a good sign! Seeing Mount Fuji under extremely special circumstances indicates that your works will continue to sell well!"

Akihara Hiroto laughed dumbfounded, and replied with a smile, "Yes, you are right."

He didn't know if Asano was really superstitious or if he wanted to encourage him, but he didn't have the idea of ​​refusing to spoil the scenery.

Instead, he just looked at a mountain, regardless of whether it was a sacred mountain or not. Even if it was, it had nothing to do with him, a young man educated in Marxism-Leninism.

But since it can be regarded as a good sign, let's take it as a good sign!I hope that the works will still sell well in the next year!

Before that, let's have a good New Year!

[201.Chapter 200 Unexpected New Year's Eve]

After getting off the Shinkansen, Hiroto Akihara and Aiko Asano went to a nearby large supermarket together to buy ingredients and other supplies for the New Year.

Then the two said goodbye and went to their respective homes.

Hiroto Akihara returned home and stuffed the ingredients he bought into the refrigerator.Then he came to the living room, sat down on the floor and turned on the TV.

The TV screen quickly lit up, and on the screen, the hostess of NHK was reporting news.

"...The Japan Meteorological Agency recently announced that due to the impact of strong cold air and low pressure, the operation of trams during the New Year's Day will be affected. Please pay attention to travel..."

When Akihara Yuto saw the news, he remembered that Asano Aiko had said that he would come to visit her home the day after tomorrow, and it seemed that she would not be able to come.

He shook his head, couldn't help laughing a little.

During the signing tour tour during this period, I only need to sign and soak in hot springs.

Other publicity and miscellaneous tasks are handled and handled by Asano and the editorial department, and there are many more things than myself.

Call her tomorrow and let her rest at home for a few days.

Having said that, what should I do?

Akihara Hiroto thought for a long time but couldn't come to a result. He lay on the tatami, watched the host's broadcast on the TV, became more and more sleepy, and fell asleep tightly.

……

Time passed little by little, and I don't know how long it took before Akihara Yuu opened his eyes on the tatami.

At the same time, he felt a chill all over his body.

"It's cold, how many degrees is it now?"

He shivered for a moment, then stood up, took the electric heater from the closet and turned it on.

With the yellow lights on, the temperature in the room began to rise slowly.

He walked to the kitchen and was about to boil the pot of water when he suddenly saw the outside scene through the glass of the kitchen - a thin layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground before he knew it, and snowflakes were also falling in the air one by one.

Seeing this scene, Akihara Hiroto's eyes couldn't help becoming confused, and even thought of Kawabata Yasunari's "Snow Country".

Although the environment is very different, he can still feel a little bit of that state of mind.
