[SKIP] Undercurrent

Chapter10

"...Ms. Qingyuan really did what she said." Tsunhelian smiled wryly, and stretched out her hand to press her forehead. "When I talked about it before, I thought she was just joking."

Nomura Hanami was stunned: "Did Kiyohara-sensei mention this to Tsuruga Ren?"

"Yes, I mentioned it a few days ago. It was also said that it will be adapted into a movie, and I will be asked to play the leading actor."

Hearing this, the corners of Nomura's mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Are you kidding... This guy actually started talking nonsense about things that haven't been made yet. If you make a promise so casually, why can't you keep it?" Do it..." Her voice became softer and softer, and she completely started to think about it.

Sometimes there is really an illusion that "Miss Nomura is the guardian of Kiyohara-sensei".Tsuruga Lian thought about it, and subconsciously raised the corners of her lips by fifteen degrees: "Then how is Teacher Qingyuan's progress now?"

"Ah," Nomura paused his thoughts, bowed his head and thought for a few minutes, then raised his head and said, "I don't know."

"...?"

"Slag Rei locked herself in the room," Nomura Hanami seemed completely unaware that she had unconsciously changed her address to Kiyohara Rei again, "and also brought enough aloe vera milk for her to drink for three days. Really , as if you can survive only by drinking milk, don’t you need to take other food!”

Tsuruga Lian could almost imagine that scene, Rei Kiyohara raised her chin high, walked into the room arrogantly holding a big bag of milk, and then kicked the door with her foot.

He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Nomura Hanami was at a loss for the man's laughter: "Tsuruga-kun, what are you laughing at?"

"I just imagined Teacher Kiyohara's expression suddenly..." Tsuruga Ren calmed down, "Speaking of which, Nomura-san isn't worried about Teacher Kiyohara? I haven't seen her work very hard before, so aren't you afraid of her being in the room? Fishing in troubled waters?" For example, while writing, I ran to play games, watch cartoons and so on.

Nomura Hanami blinked her eyes: "In this regard, I still trust Teacher Kiyohara. At least when she says she will work hard, she will definitely work hard."

"Is that so?"

"Yes," Nomura paused, then asked again, "Is Tsuruga-kun free? If possible, maybe we can talk about Teacher Kiyohara."

About Qingyuan ceremony.

Tsuruga Lian thought about it carefully, he really knew very little about Qing Yuanli.In contrast, Nomura Hana stayed with Kiyohara Rei for a long time, and seemed to know a lot.What's more, he did have an indelible sense of curiosity about this small girl, so he nodded.

Nomura poured water over, and the two of them sat down on the sofa, apparently intending to have a long talk.

"Mr. Qingyuan and I met two and a half years ago."

Nomura Hanami still clearly remembers what Rei Kiyohara looked like back then.

Her short hair was in a mess like a dog gnawed on her, she was carrying a large gray backpack that was almost taller than her, a white T-shirt and green shorts, and the little one stood there, looking a little happy.But those eyes were shining brightly, even in her tear-dimmed eyes, they were as bright as hell.

"Hey, how about being my assistant?"

She raised her chin high and said to her like this.

"Although this submission was still rejected, it will be a matter of time before I become famous. Do you want to be my assistant? Explain in advance, if I don't do it now, I will become famous in the future, and it may not be your turn."

The guy who said the same words so flatly has a pair of bright eyes that no one can avoid.No matter how dirty the appearance is, or how bad the situation is, nothing can stop the hope and light in these eyes.Later, Nomura Hanami often thought, if she was not moved by those eyes, would she still follow Kiyohara Rei?

Later, she figured it out.

Without those eyes, it would not be Qing Yuanli.

Two and a half years ago, it was the beginning of Nomura Hana stepping out of the house after half a year.

For Nomura, her year was simply a disaster.At the beginning of the second semester of the third year of high school, her first love boyfriend was hit by a big truck right in front of her, and the pink color filled her whole body.By the time Nomura Hanami came to her senses, the National Academic Ability Test had ended, and her results were naturally appalling.

There is no private school to apply for, no place to go, that can be said to be the most confused period of time for her.Unable to get out of the shadow of the death of her first love boyfriend and the failure of the college entrance examination, for almost half a year, Nomura Hanami stayed at home, dazed every day, not knowing what she was doing.After half a year, she cheered up and decided to step into the society.

But the blows came one after another.

With only a high school diploma, there is no way to find a decent job.Even if Nomura Hanashi mustered up the courage to break into the editorial department of "Tick Tock", hoping to apply for a job as a clerk, she was only politely rejected.She collapsed almost immediately, grabbing hold of the counter, and then burst into tears.

Then, Qing Yuanli appeared in front of her.

"Tsuruga-kun may not be able to imagine the Kiyohara-sensei I just met," Nomura Hanami said, with a faint smile on his face, "At that time, Kiyohara-sensei hadn't become famous yet, and was even so miserable that no matter how he submitted articles, he kept failing. In the six months from the time I knew her to the time when her submission was finally successful, she almost submitted to magazines all over the country. Some magazines also suggested that she follow the trend and write some sweet stories, but she refused."

"Ms. Qingyuan said that if she really wrote, even if she succeeded, she would be just a part of thousands of figures, not unique. She said that she has been writing since she was a child, and has been writing It doesn't matter if you fail, whether you are not appreciated by the teacher or the publisher. Anyway, she firmly believes that she can succeed, and that's enough. If they don't accept her, that's their loss."

The standard Qingyuan etiquette tone.Tsuruga Ren thought.

"Later, she wrote "He Love, You and Summer", and when she submitted to a certain publishing house again, she was finally chosen. Then it was published and became popular...Thanks to her, I finally officially entered the magazine Social work. Not as a small clerk, but directly responsible for the official editor of the author.”

Nomura raised his eyes and looked at Ren Tsuruga, the smile on his face seemed to be a little dazed because of the memory of the past: "Rei Kiyohara's words sometimes sound unreliable, but Tsuruga-kun can still believe it." .Because as long as she exports it, she will definitely do her best to complete it."

After all, she is Qingyuanli, the proud, tenacious, never-ending Qingyuanli.

When the man heard this, there was a gentle smile on his face. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by another voice.

"What are you doing sitting here?"

Zha Zha Li's voice was as charming and hoarse as ever today, as elegant as Yujie, as always... full of joy.

Qing Yuanli, wearing a suspender blue cotton dress, appeared at the door of her room, probably because she hadn't gone out for a day, her appearance was simply terrible.She was wearing a nightgown, her hair was a mess, and her face looked a little gray because she hadn't washed her face.

"Teacher Qingyuan." Tsunhelian greeted her with a smile.

"I just came out to go to the bathroom," Qing Yuanli yawned, "Stupid little flower~ I'm hungry, bring me some bread. I feel dizzy after writing the manuscript for a whole day..."

She muttered, stretched out her hand to casually grab her long hair, and walked towards the bathroom in a shuffling manner.

"Teacher Kiyohara," Nomura Hanami hurriedly called her, seeing the girl stop and turn her head slowly, she asked, "How's the progress of the manuscript?"

"Very good~" Kiyohara waved his hand lazily at her, "It's just that it's so troublesome to name the heroine, I thought about it for a long time before I decided to call her shiriko..."

"... shiriko!!!"

Both Tsuruga Ren and Nomura Hanami were shocked.

It is actually not uncommon to use the word 尺 as a name in Japanese. Many men and women will also carry this word in their names.But the point is, the word means ass...

Ordinary people don't know why they choose this name, but both Tsuruga and Nomura know that, in short, there will never be unreliable authors who choose this name for their heroines!name!Call!fart!share!

Qing Yuanli didn't seem to see their astonishment at all, and still yawned very calmly, then turned around and continued walking in his original direction.

"Teacher Qingyuan---!!!"

Nomura's movements were really beyond Tsuruga Ren's expectations. She performed the sequence of "jumping up from the sofa, running, rushing to grab Kiyohara Rei's shoulders, and then shaking wildly" very smoothly: "Please change your name!!! Even if it's called Sadako! Hanako is fine! But if it's Shiriko, this book will really be ruined and it won't be sold!"

Zha Zha Li is really too much!If she really does this kind of thing, her year-end bonus will definitely be wasted, she is her only full-time editor, bastard ヽ(;▽;)ノ!

"Well, but Hanako and Sadako are so vulgar, stupid little Hana, what kind of taste do you have?" Kiyohara Rei showed a look of disgust at Nomura's words, "Shiriko is not very novel. Is it very creative?!"

Ren Tsuruga & Hanami Nomura (inner monologue): (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ Who is the one who has no taste?

Nomura Hanami was blocked by Rei Kiyohara's stubbornness, but she was still unwilling to easily admit the name of this completely unqualified heroine, and held on to Kiyohara firmly.

"Cough cough," Dun Helian finally couldn't bear to watch, coughed twice to break the deadlock, "If Mr. Qingyuan can't choose a good name, can we help discuss together?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Think together, scumbag... Teacher Qingyuan!"

Rei Kiyohara, whose face was so arrogant that Nomura Hanami wanted to take off her slippers and pat her face, thought about it, and was finally persuaded by Tsuruga Ren, who nodded noblely and coldly: "Actually, I think the name of shiriko has already That's pretty good. But since you all begged me like this, I'll force myself to listen to your opinions."

The three of them sat together for the first time in two months to discuss the name of a character in a novel. It really hurts to think about it...

In order to reverse Kiyohara Ri's strange idea, Tsuruga Ren and Nomura Hanami worked extremely hard. From a series of nice names like Maki, Natsuki, and Moeka, they always thought of common names like Fanko and Koyuki. Don't buy it.In the end, the new name she decided on herself was something that was both a fruit and a vegetable...

"tomato……"

Nomura Hanami returned to the room until Rei Kiyohara, still repeating the name of the heroine of the new book in a very melancholy manner.

"Nomura-san, you want to open it up," Ren Tsuruga comforted her sympathetically, "Tomato sounds better than shiriko, doesn't it?"

...That's right, fruit sounds better than butt, but why, she still feels so sad T_T!

The author has something to say:

What you have believed for a long time has been completely overthrown. Have you ever felt this way?
