Chapter 50: Next Time, I Won't Let You Escape Again
Feb. 15, 7:07.
The beginning of spring is already a matter of the previous week, probably to remedy the laziness of work in the winter, and the sun is swaying the heat without hesitation.
"It was still windy an hour ago, and it was really a reminder that it was time for me to get out? Next time, if you drive me away, I won't..."
Xia Junhao wiped the sweat on Xinyue's forehead, and before he could finish his words, he suddenly disappeared.
“... My dear? ”
At the same time, Saki Kokotsuki also woke up.
"Kuryu edit! Xia Junjun ran away from home! Can you help me find it? ”
With a line of words on her face, Xinyue Saki did not listen to Xia Junhao's message and waited honestly, but decisively asked for help from the lightning library.
"Yes! Teacher Xinyue, can you describe Xia Junjun's appearance? I would venture to ask, what is his relationship with you? ”
However, Kuryū's reply made Saki Kokotsuki fall into an ice cave.
"You're kidding, right? Isn't he the winner of this year's Gold Prize in your library? You already know my relationship with Xia Junjun, right? ”
As if questioning Kuryū, Saki Shinzuki's tone also became cold.
"That's... Teacher Xinyue, the winner of the gold reward is you...""It's rude..."
Putting down the phone a little sluggishly, Saki Shinzuki rummaged through Xia Junhao's contract with Lightning Library and previous magazines, including "Guitar Soul", all the four words of Otaki Xia Jun were replaced with Saki Shinzuki, which is no longer something that can be done by manpower.
"Squad leader... Mr. Tamura... Mr. Yan Yuan... The hostess..."
Refusing to give up the last glimmer of hope, Xinyue Saki has asked everywhere she can think of, except for her, no one remembers Xia Junhao.
"In recent years, reading novels has gradually become an important form of entertainment for people, and the novel industry has also flourished because of the attention it has received.
Raising his hand to turn off the TV, most of the light in the empty house was instantly lost, and Saki Kokotsuki sat on the sofa with her knees crossed and stared at the cold moonlight outside the window.
Just like Xia Junhao's message in the morning, the moonlight is really beautiful, the bright moon is hanging high, the stars are dotted, and the clouds disappear without a trace, however, Xinyue Saki has no intention of appreciating it, just silent and silent...
December 24, 1990, Lunar Day.
Sitting in her office, looking down at the crowd, downstairs is the giant Christmas tree that is carefully decorated around Christmas.
She has fulfilled the dream she once told Xia Junhao, with the income from writing novels to complete the original capital accumulation, riding the myth that the stock market only rises and does not fall, and the land price only rises but does not fall, it took less than four years for her to have an animation company, and miraculously survived the real estate bubble crisis.
Her deeds have inspired many housewives, and the local government has even called on all neon women to come and learn from her, and the name Otaki Saki has become a symbol of strong women, but Xia Junhao still hasn't returned.
"Knock knock." "Please come in."
There was a knock on the office door, and Saki Kokotsuki's eyes moved from the giant Christmas tree to the door.
"President, this is the ratings of the latest episode of "Guitar Soul", please take a look..."
The female secretary respectfully handed over the Chinese document in her hand.
"Yes, is there anything else?"
Having a general understanding of the document, Saki put the document aside and looked at the female secretary.
The female secretary is younger than her, only 18 years old this year, and she came to work right after graduating from high school, and her promotion experience is also a miracle in the eyes of outsiders, but her talent does deserve this position.
"It's Christmas Eve, is the president going to rest?" "Ahh~ Has our Kasane-chan finally been captured? Is it in the company or outside the company? ”
The female secretary's careful thinking heart Tsuki saw through it at a glance, and teased her with some gossip.
"Why! It's just that I made an appointment with Seka-chan to go to Chiwa-chan for Christmas Eve.,I feel like there are a lot of idiots in the company.,Especially Narita-san.,Is he really the president's junior brother? The love letter I wrote last time was so old-fashioned! ”
Hearing what Shinzuki Saki said, Kasine suddenly poured bitter water on her.
"'The moonlight is so beautiful tonight' is a love story from a few years ago and it is still showing its literary brilliance in front of me, and, recently, I flipped through the information, this sentence is not what Mr. Natsume Soseki said at all, from "The Tale of Genji", the original sentence is..."
It seems that Kasine is really bitter and hateful to that Narita, so he went to check the information and was ready to slap his face.
"The moon is so beautiful tonight, and you have seen the moon as a day in general, every time I think of the joys and sorrows that you and I spent together, I will cry and feel sad for the passage of time, from now on, everything with you will become a beautiful memory that comforts my life, and in the rest of my years, I will miss the moon that I saw with you tonight."
Without waiting for Kasine to recite that ancient text, Saki Xinyue directly read out the interpretation.
"The president really knows this sentence, but he uses it to confess when it is clearly a farewell word, and he proudly thinks that it was said by Mr. Natsume Soseki, and he really didn't listen carefully when he was in class, right?"
Somewhat indignant, Kasine continued to speak ill of Narita, trying to discredit him in front of Saki Kokotsuki.
"Hey, hey, I'll help you warn him in a few days, so that he doesn't think about you too much, speaking of which, how is Qianhe-chan doing?"
Understanding what Kasane's purpose was, Saki Shinzuki decided to do her a small favor, and besides, Narita's efforts were doomed to be in vain, so it was better to give up early.
"Thank you very much! Thanks to you, Chiwa-chan has been recovering well recently, and the doctor said that she will be able to operate after a while..."
As soon as Chiwa is mentioned, Kasine immediately becomes chattering, the three of them are students at Yamakaku Girls' High School, and they once aspired to make their debut as idols, but a small accident caused Chiwa, the most talented singer, to go blind, and the whole small group fell apart.
The family background of the Qianhe family was not very good, and the high cost of surgery made the family face despair, but Kasine and Sege did not give up their efforts, the former became the personal secretary of Saki Shinzuki after working hard by himself, and the latter became the exclusive singer of Saki Shinzuki.
That's right, Xinyue Saki's company is not just an animation company, she also intervened in the industry related to records, novels, and comics, and according to Xia Junhao's conception, she has a mature industrial system, and her reputation as a strong woman is not in vain.
“... I won't bother the president, so I'll retire for the time being. ”
Accidentally talking too pretentiously, Kasine noticed this and quickly ended the topic.
"Actually, the phrase "the moonlight is so beautiful" is used to confess that it is true, Mr. Natsume Soseki himself likes to use the moon as an example, and Miss Sachiko Yoshiwara just cleverly combines it."
Looking at Kasine's back, Saki Kokotsuki suddenly said this.
"Has the president ever been confessed with this sentence?"
Guessing something from Saki Shinzuki's tone, Kasine turned around and sounded curiously.
"Well, you go out first."
A trace of melancholy appeared on Shinzuki Saki's face, and after waving away Kasina, she took out the envelope left by Xia Junhao from the desk.
"Xia Junjun, next time, I won't let you escape again."
