629. Ice Confectionery
At night, the quiet time blooms in the dark space, and the mist rises and curls up.
The closed windows occasionally let out the moans of being embraced by the spring breeze, mixed with the continuous, crisp sound of keyboard tapping.
"It's hopeless.
Once Sentanda enters this state, I am still obedient and obedient, and it is more likely to save energy.
I looked back and saw that Rishi was smiling, and Ichi shrugged his shoulders.
I gave up and said, 'Alright, I'll go. It's that again, isn't it?'
Chitanda stopped, turned his head, and looked at me with big eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"yes, that's right. β¦β¦ I'm curious.' γ
Typing out the last sentence of the first volume of "Ice Confectionery", Jiang Yu's arms stretched out towards the top of his head, and all ten fingers stretched out, and an irrepressible, long yawn welled up deep in his throat.
Wiping away the tears that naturally flowed from the corners of his eyes, he exhaled a long breath and pulled the progress bar on the right side of the document up a little, revisiting the words he had written today.
After confirming that there was no major problem, he muttered "The contents of the two letters are ...... next", and while opening another document in the same folder, he typed the beginning and end of the "ice candy" document into two paragraphs of text that were not too long.
Speaking of which, this series is light, and in fact, it should not be called "Ice Candy", but "Classical Series", and "Ice Candy" is just the title of the first volume. But for Jiang Yu, who was in contact with animation before and then contacted, it is still customary to call him by the previous name.
Moreover, in this era of entertainment to death, how can the title of the "XX series" attract people's attention with the unclear "ice candy"? Although the "Ice Candy" series is only a temporary work for him - whether it is to appease fans or maintain fame - in short, it is a transitional work, but he also does not want this work that he likes quite a lot, because some external reasons have not been able to have the fame it deserves.
Although, this series from the last world doesn't seem to sell very well.
After all of this, he searched for the black cat's chat box on LINE, sent a message that the work was completed and sent to her mailbox, and then sent a similar message to a pinned chat box labeled "girlfriend".
It didn't take long for both sides to respond.
Black Cat: "Roger, I'll be in touch later."
Jiang Yu glanced at it, clicked into the chat box and swiped the "read" tag, then exited and entered another chat box that he was more concerned about.
Girlfriend: "Ah~ I'll give you a feeling in a few days after reading it." Speaking of which, it's a work similar to Kasumigaoka's "Literary Girl" series?"
Tu Su: "It's barely a work of the same type. But it's not as heavy and deep as that set."
Today, Kasumiko's "Literary Girl" series is also close to completion, and she has experienced two "light!" After the selection, it also began to gradually gain evaluations such as "the most literary light" and "unprecedented light".
By the way, due to the existence of the two series of "Literary Girl" and Hyacinth's "Strawberry 100%", and due to the influence of the two animations, Jiang Yu deliberately accelerated the publication of "Spring Things", but "Spring Things" missed the anecdote that "Spring Things" was inducted into the Hall of Fame and no longer participated in the evaluation after the three consecutive championships that were talked about in the previous world.
But that doesn't affect the fame of "Spring Things" now β especially now that he, the author, is dragging on for a year.
Girlfriend: "It's not good if it's too heavy."
Tu Su: "Indeed."
Girlfriend: "......"
Tu Su: "I'm definitely not insinuating you!!
Girlfriend: "Eh~ I didn't say that, did I?"
So who knows? Your ellipsis is too scary, isn't it?
Jiang Yu muttered like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to send out similar words. After all, my girlfriend is a little bit too much to hide her true side after dating. Or rather, there is even a feeling of breaking the can. Occasionally, it shows a heavy side abruptly, but in a flash, it is as if nothing has happened.
In this regard, Jiang Yu didn't feel anything other than feeling a little stressed at the time, and even seemed a little relieved, maybe? Because the other party usually behaves too plainly and too considerate of him.
If the person close to you has been behaving reassuringly and well-behaved, it will make people pay extra attention to whether the other party has been wronged or feel unhappy.
Megumi came out like this occasionally, not only did not destroy the relationship between the two, but promoted it.
Of course, this also gave Jiang Yu the impression that "my girlfriend is really heavy", and I don't know whether it is good or bad.
In this regard, Miss Hui's reaction was probably "It's okay to stay at the level of slander, but if you dare to say it, you will die"?
cough, all in all, the relationship between the two is as harmonious and stable as ever, which is really gratifying ~ gratifying congratulations ~ Probably.
In the process of chatting with Hui, Jiang Yu's operation on the computer was not idle. He logged in to his N station and Twitter account, first looked at the update time of the latest video on N station, and issued a rather indifferent and insipid "It's been two months" exclamation, and then flipped through the dynamics of Twitter, looking at the reminder messages, and shook his head with a smile.
He pondered for a moment, but still didn't put on a picture of the heroine of "Ice Candy" drawn by hand, Chitanda Airu, . Although he is quite confident that the book will be published, even if he wants to promote it without authorization, he will wait until he gets a specific reply from the publishing house.
On the other hand, the chat between him and Megumi has gradually deviated from the new work to a topic that doesn't matter, such as the weather, where the early cherry blossoms bloomed, and trivial and mundane things like today's dinner seems to be a little salty.
How can there be so many thrilling and undulating love stories in this world, most of the relationships that sprout silently, and the topic of the two is generally calm and plain at this time.
The time was approaching the early hours of the morning, Jiang Yu naturally ended the chat with Hui, and in the process of washing before going to bed, by the way, after the national unified examination, his own sister, who had fallen into a short waste period, also came over to wash, and urged the other party to go to bed early.
β¦β¦
In February, the grass grows and the warbler flies.
Shizuo rubbed his sleepy eyes and struggled to get out of bed. As an extremely ordinary high school student in the real sense, it is naturally impossible for him to live an extremely unusual life like those protagonists in ACG's works.
At the urging of his mother, he quickly finished breakfast with his eyes closed, and Shizuo took his schoolbag and went straight out. Walking to the station with deep and shallow steps, Shizuo, who had been walking on this road for several years, gave full play to his familiarity and walked smoothly to the station.
When the commuter train is not at its peak, in addition to office workers, there are many students wearing various school uniforms. After getting in the car, he saw Shizuo who still had an empty seat, and after secretly saying that he was lucky, he sat down.
Perhaps it was due to the sudden relaxation of the body, and the fatigue and drowsiness struck again. Since the nearest station to his home is only three stops away, Shizuo takes out his phone and prepares to read some news casually to prevent himself from falling asleep.
After hesitating for a moment on the two icons of LINE and Twitter, Shizuo clicked on LINE first. The chat boxes at the top were completely silent, and Shizuo squinted his eyes, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations. casually clicked into a group that was active, called "Urging Changes", and after reading two or three messages, his eyes widened instantly, with an inexplicable expression of surprise.
He whispered, "Won't you?" Shizuo clicked on Twitter while exiting LINE. He followed a lot of people on Twitter, but he immediately found the eye-catching news.
Baili Tusu: "The new book 'Ice Confectionery' is expected to be released in early March, so stay tuned."
The release time of this short line of words was more than 6:10 this morning, and now it has only been more than an hour, but it has instantly detonated the readership fan circle of "Spring Things".
The comments below are also interesting, full of that despair of expectations and disillusionment.
U2: "'Spring Things' is about to be updated! Yes...... I guess it's not......

Drag more biss: "My youth is back! β¦β¦ Grass! It's a new work!"
ZIOοΌγβ¦β¦ That's it?"
Friend A: "I was so happy! (stick reading)"
Of course, there were a few more positive comments.
Biqi Gu Xuenai: "No matter what, Teacher Tu Su has finally written a book!" Let's get active!"
"I'm more concerned than that, I haven't been writing a book before, but why hasn't there been a new game released?"
Dango Tuanzi: "Bah! That guy! What a mess of names you've chosen!"
Totsuka Hachiman: "Another crazy one, carry it away!" Farewell!"
Shizuo hurriedly glanced at some of the comments before going to the top to take a screenshot and send it to his classmate, friend, and roommate.
Shizuo: "(Pictured) Big news!!
Shizuo: "I'll tell you when I get to school!"
At the same time, a similar scene is still being staged in the small circle of many "Spring Things" fans.
β¦β¦
The main campus of the University of Tokyo.
Jiang Yu, who was listening to the lecture and taking notes, suddenly heard a slight buzzing sound coming from his pocket. He frowned slightly, took it out and looked at it, thought about it, and quietly left the classroom and came to the corner of the stairs to connect the phone.
"Do you know what you've done, you idiot?!"
Before he could say hello, the other side was slashing his head and covering his face. Listening to the sound of rapid breathing from the other side, Jiang Yu was silent for a moment before replying, "Slightly ...... Tickled the readers' emotions? β
"Huh? Do you know that this will be the development and still do? Are you really stupid! β
The fifth watch Liuli was still angry, and his tone still seemed very impulsive.
Fortunately, Jiang Yu doesn't care too much about these, or rather, he is always more tolerant of the acquaintances around him. He thought about it and explained: "In fact, the people who are shouting the most now will increase their sales when the time comes, right?" Although it is not good for me to say this from the perspective of the author, if I put it from the perspective of a former consumer, at least the tolerance for the author I like will not be lost because of a new book. β
Wugen Liuli's breathing stagnated for a moment, and then he said in an extremely helpless tone: "It's not a matter of tolerance, at least you have to explain...... Ah, forget it! It's already happened, and it's useless for me to be annoyed here. The next thing to consider is how to remedy it. But before you do this kind of thing, why don't you say hello to the editorial department? β
Jiang Yu asked strangely: "When you told me yesterday that the manuscript passed the review, I asked you?" β
Hearing this, the five watchmen who were on the phone in the corner of the corridor connecting the editorial office and the bathroom were stunned, and carefully recalled the details of last night's phone call, seemingly, seemingly, seemingly, maybe...... Did you really give a similar permission?
A palpitating silence spread between the two of them across the communication network, and after a while, Gogen Liuli said something casually in a slightly unnatural tone, such as "Anyway, I will use the official account of the Immortal River Library to help you explain a thing or two", and hung up the phone.
Jiang Yu looked at the interface on the mobile phone where the call ended and smiled dumbly, and Shi Shiran returned to the classroom.
At noon on the same day, the official account of the editorial department of the Immortal River Library retweeted the tweet that Jiang Yu had posted in the morning, and attached a retweet lucky draw, and the prizes were 20 hardcover copies of "Ice Candy" with the author's autograph and 10 "Ice Candy" illustration scrolls.
Just when speculation was raging on the Internet about "Baili Tusu starting to write a new work instead of writing 'Spring Things' is planning to do it for another year", the official of the Immortal Sichuan Library announced that the illustrator of his new work "Ice Candy" was the author himself, which immediately attracted the attention of some people.
Of course, this decision is due to the fact that Jiang Yu did not communicate with Mr. Eromana before he planned to publish a new book, so in the nearly one year that "Spring Things" has been delayed, the other party has a lot of other work, and there is no way to undertake the illustration work this time.
Ying Lili and going to sea also have the rest of the work pressed, and there was no free time this month, so in the end he simply decided to draw his own illustrations. And knowing that Jiang Yu's own painting skills are not weak, Wumore Liuli, after reading the drawings he passed over and reacting to the editor-in-chief Machida Yuanzi, this matter was decided.
And just when many fans on the Internet and passers-by were speculating about what the writer who had begun to show his omnipotence would do next, Jiang Yu had already contacted the company "TheShapeofVoice", which was gaining momentum in his homeland, through Ryunosuke Akasaka.
After discussion between the two parties, Chu Yue and others added the mainland copyright of all the current songs from "ΞΌ's", "HTT" and "icytail" on the music software, as well as the right of first refusal to purchase the copyright of subsequent new songs.
Of course, the specific contract was signed by Qinfuki Qianxia as the legal representative of these three groups with each other, and the purchase fee was not passed through Jiang Yu's hands, and was directly handed over to the group of girls through Qinfuki Qianxia.
