Time passed quietly, and it was late at night.

Xia You, who was tired of writing code, looked up at the clock on the wall, only to find that it was already half past eleven, and he thought that it was almost time to sleep, so he saved and closed the text document.

Due to this period of time, Xia You has been working very the code words, and the creation of the shape of sound is progressing very quickly, and the more he writes, the more he writes, the more he writes, and there are currently more than 100,000 words, which is almost the creation of a novella.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before the end of the book, and if you write the ending according to the original comic, you must at least write more than 100,000 words.

However, according to Xia You's current creative speed, the content of these 100,000 words is not difficult to complete, and it should be delivered before October.

And that was the deadline set by Machida Enko.

After the submission of the manuscript, the work of all the participants in the library will be corrected, and after the typos are corrected, they will be handed over to the staff in charge of the awards, and they will be responsible for presenting them to the judges for review and evaluation, and the results will be selected for selection.

"I don't know what kind of results I will get by then......

Although Xia You is very confident in "The Shape of Sound", thinking that it fits the proposition of this year's awards "campus", and the idea of choosing "school bullying" is deep enough, it should not be inferior to other authors, but it is still a bit bottomless.

After all, the Middle-length Grand Prix is one of the most prestigious events in Japan today, and not only in the industry, but also many ordinary people are paying attention to it, and the participants are all talented writers.

If the current momentum continues, this competition may not be able to have the same strong influence as literary awards such as the Naoki Award in the future.

As for the Sneaker Newcomer Award that Xia You participated in a few months ago, it can't be compared with it at all, and the difference between the two is more than one notch.

Of course, the difficulty has increased a lot, which also means that if he wins the award, Xia You will gain more.

First of all, fame is bound to increase.

At present, although Xia You's reputation is not low, and he can even be called the hottest light family at present, RE0 and Sword Art Online are so overwhelming that writers in the same period can't raise their heads, and even many veteran writers can't compete, so they can only retreat and not compete for the edge.

But this achievement, compared with those great god writers in the industry, there is still a big gap, and people can sell millions of copies of any book they publish.

If Xia You wins the competition award, her sales will definitely skyrocket, according to Machida Yuanzi, at least a guaranteed increase of 20%, and an exaggeration of 30% is possible.

Secondly, its position in the industry will also rise.

In the eyes of the world, light is just an entertainment work after all, and it can't be put on the stage.

And Xia You, who made his debut lightly, can't get on the stage either, even if he is very popular now, there are still many peers who don't take him seriously.

However, if Xia You can win the award for the book "The Shape of Sound", the situation will be different, no one dares to despise him as a light writer, even if it is a peer, most people can only call him a teacher when they see him.

In this way, in the future, I will basically no longer be besieged by the crowd like when I first debuted, and all kinds of crazy black sprays.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, just write the work carefully!"

Xia You shook his head, banishing unnecessary thoughts out of his mind.

Then he picked up the teacup on the table and wanted to take a sip of tea to quench his thirst, but found that the cup was empty, and the tea had already been drunk, so he reluctantly put it back.

Then Xia Yu looked at Shiina Mashiro, who was sitting on the side.

The girl was still clutching a pencil and drawing a cartoon with her head engrossed, looking at her exactly like she had been two hours ago, and the chair didn't even seem to move.

She writes quickly and without hesitation, but the lines drawn on the paper are calm and profound, as if the drawings have been conceived in her head.

In fact, it must have been preconceived, and only in this way can we maintain such a fast painting speed.

In fact, writing and drawing comics are quite similar, to a certain extent, they are both mental work, and the slight difference is that the former conceives the plot, and the latter conceives the storyboard.

If you have conceived it in advance, then the creation speed will be much faster, and Xia You can also experience this feeling.

But it's late now, and I have to go to class tomorrow morning, so even if I see that Shiina Mashiro is very involved in painting, Xia You still opens his mouth mercilessly.

"Mashiro, stop drawing, it's time to sleep. ”

"Draw a little longer. Shiina Mashiro whispered.

Xia You deliberately kept a straight face: "No." ”

Let Shiina Mahaku paint until now, it's already because he is very soft-hearted.

Originally, considering that this Nizi was drenched in the rain in the afternoon, as early as an hour ago, Xia You was going to let her go to bed, but this Nizi said that she didn't want to sleep, but she had to agree to come down, and the result was drawn like this.

"That's good. ”

Staring at the drawing paper, Shiina Masa's little face was reluctant, obviously not enough comics, but she still nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Xia You couldn't help but smile, raised her hand and gently rubbed her hair, which felt smooth and soft.

"That's good. ”

Xia You likes Shiina Mashiro very much because this Nizi will insist and demand, but she will never mess around and be willful and awkward.

Although she is extremely lacking in common sense in life and needs to be taken care of, she is indeed a very sensible and well-behaved girl.

"Then go brush your teeth. Xia You smiled.

"Hmm. ”

Nono nodded, but Shiina Mahaku didn't move, she tilted her head, and a handful of green silk was like water.

"What about brother?"

"I'll brush my teeth later. ”

Xia You replied casually, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the bed. It's almost twelve o'clock now, and it's time for Kasumigaoka Shiyu to go home.

Of course, at such a late hour, it is obviously impossible to let her go back alone, it is too unsafe, so it is better to send her later.

However, when he saw the scene on the bed, Xia You was immediately stunned.

I saw Kasumigaoka Shiyu shrunk in the quilt and wrapped tightly.

Although she is tall enough to be 1.65 meters tall compared to girls of the same age, she still looks very petite when wrapped in a spacious quilt.

However, the reason that made Xia You stunned was not here, but the senior sister......

"Actually asleep?"

Xia You was really a little dumbfounded.

Although he had known for a long time that Kasumigaoka Shiyu was on his bed, no different from his own bed, very natural and skillful, and he didn't see anything outside, but when he really saw her lying on the bed and falling asleep, Xia You couldn't help but be taken aback.

Hey, hey, hey, senior sister, are you really so defenseless?

Anyway, I'm a man, so don't worry about me taking the opportunity to do something weird?

Or do you really think of me as a slow herbivorous light male protagonist?

Xia You's heart was surging with complaints, but he didn't say a word, he just looked at his senior sister's sleeping face in a daze.

Lacking the usual black belly and poisonous tongue and extremely rich mocking expressions, the sleeping Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to be a different person, looking pure and quiet, with a beautiful face, slightly closed eyes, thick eyelashes like a curtain, and the waterfall-like black hair hanging down on the side of the pillow, making her seem to have become a sleeping beauty in a fairy tale.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Shiina Mashiro's incomprehensible voice suddenly sounded behind him, which made Xia You immediately startled, realizing that he seemed to be too engrossed, and his face was a little embarrassed.

After patting his face, Xia Youcai turned around and shuttered softly at Zhenbai: "Zhenbai, be quiet, Senior Sister Shiyu is already asleep." ”
