Chapter 23 Contributions
"But you are the one who saved me, Xia Youjun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So -- thank you very much. ”
Faced with Wugen Liuli's undisguised statement, as well as her crimson face that was obviously very shy, but she bit her lip and insisted on speaking, Xia You felt that her face was a little hot.
It's not good, I'm so embarrassed...... No kidding, he really has a feeling of being cute.
Isn't that too foul?
Watching a girl try so hard to convey her feelings to you, even if you know that she doesn't mean that and is simply expressing gratitude, it's still hard not to be excited!
Xia You scratched his cheeks, a little uneasy.
And Wugen Liuli also lowered her head with ruddy cheeks, and she could see that her shoulders were trembling a little.
But this time it's probably not because I'm afraid, but because I'm shy, right?
There was a long silence between the two, and the usually lively cat meows outside were no longer audible, and there was an illusion as if the space they were in had been cut off from the world.
Only the sound of the creaking, creaking second hand asserts the fact that time is still flowing.
Xia You desperately searched for topics.
He always felt that if he continued to be silent, he might really have a nosebleed.
“...... Speaking of which, why are you still out at such a late hour?"
“......”
The fifth watch was silent.
Then he blinked unnaturally a few times and erased his expression.
"Uh......"
It seems that this is a topic that cannot be touched.
Well, too.
Everyone has their own difficulties, and some things are really difficult to say to people who are not familiar with them.
So Xia You waved his hand and said:
"It's okay if you don't want to say it. ”
"Uh-huh......."
Wugen Liuli nodded lightly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
In fact, she didn't have anything unspeakable, but she was just a little embarrassed.
The reason why Wugen Liuli stayed outside so late was because she hurriedly went to Linshi in the afternoon.
On the way back, she happened to miss the return train and had to wait an extra hour, and by the time she finally got back to Chiba City, it was nearly nine o'clock.
And Wumore Liuli didn't have a mobile phone with him, so he couldn't notify his family at all.
After much hesitation to get home earlier so that they would not be worried, she finally decided to take the dim path that was relatively close but rarely walked.
As a result, he didn't go far, and Wumore Liuli was entangled by that group of bad youths.
Then, as mentioned earlier, Xia You came out to save her and took her back to his home.
To say that she is grateful to Xia You, she may not be able to say enough in a thousand words.
But there are some things that are really embarrassing, so she can't explain them directly to Xia You, such as-
The purpose of her visit to Linshi was to "contribute".
Yes, contributions.
Wugen Liuli likes to write novels very much.
She has been determined to become a writer since three years ago, and as for the motivation, in addition to her love of novels, she wants to make money, because the royalties from publishing books are much better than the income she earns from a part-time job.
If you can make a successful debut, you can provide a lot of economic income for your family.
It is also for this reason that she has submitted the Dengeki Library Newcomer Award for three consecutive years, and in addition, she has also submitted many manuscripts from other well-known libraries.
It's a pity that she has basically been brushed off in the primary election so far.
Even if you are lucky enough to pass the primary, you won't survive the second round.
This made the arrogant Wumore Liuli very frustrated.
She has always thought her novels are interesting, and even if they don't go as smoothly as she thinks, there's no reason why they should fail so many times.
But the reality is like this, every submission is exchanged for rejection again and again.
Gradually, Wugen Liuli stopped talking about submissions, and even hoped that no one would know that she was writing a novel, so that even if she was rejected again, no one would look at her with "really pitiful" eyes.
And it was also with this in mind that she couldn't explain the truth to Xia You.
Because, this time to contribute, she will probably be brushed down as quickly as before, right?
It's really embarrassing to tell Xia You about this kind of thing.
Although she had already exposed her more shameful side to this boy just now......
As soon as he remembered that he cried so loudly just now, and he was still holding someone's hand, Wugen Liuli felt ashamed and embarrassed to the point of wanting to escape.
And Xia You saw that she had a very tangled expression, thinking that she was still a little afraid of what had just happened, and wanted to say something comforting, but she couldn't think of what to say.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the clock on the wall, only to find that it was already past ten o'clock, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Is it so late?
Xia You looked at Wugen Liuli and scratched his head, "That, it's past ten o'clock now, don't you matter?"
Considering her silence just now, he didn't talk about going home, because maybe the reason why she was hanging out was because she had quarreled with the family.
However, the next moment, Wumore Liuli's reaction made him understand that this idea was wrong.
"It's past ten o'clock, and it's almost time for me to go home. ”
"Really?"
Didn't you quarrel with your family?
Xia You stood up while thinking and said, "I'll send you back." ”
Wugen Liuli nodded lightly and did not refuse: "Thank you." ”
Immediately, she was about to stand up, but suddenly she sat back, and Xia You was stunned when she saw this.
"What's wrong?"
“......”
Wugen Liuli's cheeks turned red again, and after a moment of silence, she said a little embarrassedly: "Legs, legs are weak." ”
Xia You couldn't help but smile and reached out to take her up.
"Anyway, where do you live?"
"It's around here. ”
"Well, let's go, then. ”
"Good. ”
Wugen Liuli nodded.
Then the two walked out the door together.
Considering that the group of bad people just now may still be nearby, Xia You and the two tried their best to choose a road with pedestrians.
It may take a little longer, but it's safe.
And the Wumore Liuli house was also unexpectedly close, although they took a little detour, it only took more than thirty minutes to get there.
It was a very interesting bungalow house.
The hedge encircled it, and the door of the house was simply protected by a small door.
"This is my home. Wumore Liuli said.
"Pretty good. Xia You said casually.
Then he heard a cat meow, and when he looked up, he saw a black cat standing on the roof, staring at it, with a red collar and bells.
"Could it be your cat?"
"Hmm. ”
"Is there a name?"
"Night. ”
"It's really a good fit for it. ”
The conversation between the two was very concise, like an email between boys.
"Thank you for taking me home. After walking a few steps to the door of the house, the fifth watch Liuli turned to look at Xia You.
"It's nothing, it's just a gesture. ”
Xia You smiled.
As he spoke, he pouted behind the five more glasses.
Wu Geng turned around in confusion and found that the door was slightly open, and a girl was standing there.
Immediately, she took three steps and two steps, and pounced towards the fifth watch, with surprise in her tone, but also a little complaint.
"Sister Liuli, you're finally back!"
