My daily life

"You...have never been in love, right?"

Hearing Yang Yuan's words, Kasumigaoka Utaha was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze for a moment, as if time had stopped.

Yang Yuan did not rush her to answer, but leisurely picked up the coffee just brought by the waiter and took a sip.

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha was standing there with a storm in her mind.

She began to think carefully about what Yang Yuan had just said, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Thinking back to her own novels, many of the plots about love seemed to have many problems.

She had always ignored those plots before, because she relied entirely on her own imagination, but now these problems are as clearly visible as flaws under a magnifying glass.

After knowing the problems she had, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know how to make changes for a while. After all, she had no relevant experience before.

So what can I do to solve this problem? Should I find a boyfriend to experience this sweet campus romance?

When her thoughts gradually returned to reality, her gaze slowly focused again on Yang Yuan who was sitting opposite her.

At this moment, she noticed that the cup of coffee in front of her was still emitting hot steam, while the person opposite her had not finished much of the coffee.

"Waiter, refill my cup, and give me another serving of strawberry cake."

After calling the waiter, Kasumigaoka Utaha began to look at him carefully. Of course, Yang Yuan himself also noticed it, so he raised his head and looked into the other's eyes.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha still answered the question raised by Yang Yuan at the beginning.

"You are right. I have never been in love before."

After hearing her answer, Yang Yuan continued to do more.

“So what you write always feels unnatural, right?”

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly and said to Yang Yuan with a smile:

"Although I have never really experienced love, it does not mean that I do not understand it. It is just that I have drawn a lot of inspiration from my classmates, books, movies and my own imagination. However, when I try to describe my ideal love, I always feel as if something is missing."

Yang Yuan listened thoughtfully, as if thinking about something. He said softly

"So, the campus love story you wrote is actually just what you think love is. You think love should be just like what you describe in your writing, sweet, pure, and occasionally with some small surprises... Is that right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, but at this time she also realized some problems.

“Maybe I’m a little too idealistic.”

she said softly.

Yang Yuan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement

"That's right, but that's because you're missing something extremely crucial."

"Something extremely crucial? What is it?"

Seeing the other party's curious expression, Yang Yuan raised a smile.

He picked up the cup and drank the last sip of coffee. Then he said to Kasumigaoka Utaha:

"There is an old Chinese proverb that says 'Practice is the only criterion for testing truth'. Although the campus romance novels on the Internet are similar, you should practice and experience it yourself."

"Practice? Do you want me to have a relationship?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha widened her eyes and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

However, as Yang Yuan further elaborated on his point, Kasumigaoka Utaha began to feel that he had a point.

After all, as a novelist, if you want to write a realistic and touching love story, personal experience may be the best way.

It’s just… isn’t it a bit too much of a loss for me to fall in love just to write a novel?

"Bin Gou, how else can you write about that sweet feeling? If love doesn't go through quarrels, reconciliations, quarrels again, reconciliations again, then it will be meaningless."

Hearing Yang Yuan's words, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Of course, Yang Yuan also saw this scene completely.

"Okay, just kidding, but campus romance is all about knowing each other, then having feelings for each other, then cautiously testing each other until they express their feelings, then getting used to each other's personalities, quarreling, making up, being misunderstood, going into the cold war, explaining things clearly, and then making up again. Add in some surprise gifts, festivals, and going out on dates, and this alone can make up a lot of chapters."

After hearing what Yang Yuan said later, Kasumigaoka Utaha also felt that it was really similar to this. For example, the couple in the class seemed to be in a cold war now because of some misunderstandings.

Combining with my own novel, it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement. If that is the case, then I should add a second male lead.

Yang Yuan also looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was thinking with her head down, then picked up the fork and started to work on the strawberry cake that had just been served on the table.

"It seems like what you said makes sense, but there's still... there's still... is there anything else?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha had just finished thinking, and as she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Yang Yuan, who had already eaten a lot of strawberry cake.

Yang Yuan ignored Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze and continued to enjoy the delicious strawberry cake.

Seeing her cake being eaten, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but she couldn't get angry directly, so she could only ask with some embarrassment:

“You…how could you do this!”

Yang Yuan didn't care. After swallowing the cake in his mouth, he asked calmly:

"What did you say before?"

Looking at Yang Yuan with cream on his lips, Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt helpless and amused. It's just a piece of cake, at most I can just order another one.

After calming down, Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke again

"I mean, besides the campus romance story you just mentioned, are there other different types of texts?"

Hearing this, Yang Yuan's eyes lit up and he seemed to be interested.

"Oh? Are you interested in this? There are so many, sad, sweet, cool, all kinds of styles are available."

Yang Yuan introduced the story with great excitement. He said he had read a lot of such stories in his previous life.

However, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was attracted by Yang Yuan's description, so she immediately asked impatiently, "Can you tell me about it?"

There was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes as she looked at Yang Yuan expectantly, hoping that he could share more stories.
