Chapter 112 'Acquaintance' [2K8 Chapter]

For the city of Tokyo, under the midsummer sun, there are always endless things to talk about. Unsatisfactory work, setbacks in love, stumbling in family chores, all of which converge into a busy and busy city in this bustling modern city. A corner of the bubble.

Even though it was only ten o'clock in the morning, midsummer had already shown its competitiveness enough. The dry and hot air swept across the land with the oncoming summer heat. The sound of cicadas sounded in the shade of the trees, which was clear but inexplicably disturbing.

Sitting in the Moonlight Cafe just across the street from Shirakawa High School, Kashiwagen Shiori in a blue dress picked up the matcha latte in front of her and took a small sip.

She chose a location facing the window facing the sun, but blocked by the green belt on the street and the parasols outside the cafe, the sunlight falling through the gaps in the corners of the parasols is not too dazzling and hot. The efficient air-conditioning in the cafe is fully turned on, and the indoor temperature is still maintained at a comfortable and cool level.

Meow.

The fat orange cat squatting on the wooden bar of the cafe let out a cry, changed its posture, showing its soft belly, and gently rubbed its tail against the arm of the female barista in the bar.

This is a sign that it wants to be petted.

But this time, the female barista didn't rub it as usual. She propped her chin with her left hand, looked through the glass door of the cafe, and looked at the outside where some transparent flames could already be seen. Hearing the sound of cicadas coming from outside the door, he was taken aback.

On the street, there are not a few students walking around with umbrellas, and there are also many female high school students holding umbrellas and holding the hands of their best friends. The young faces are full of relaxation from the heart after the holiday is finally over.

"Shiori."

Risa Takeda, who was sitting opposite Baiyuan Shizhi, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes fell on the former's cheek.

The two made an appointment a few days ago.

The final manuscript of Bai Yuan Shizhi's new book has been finalized. This time they met to confirm some details. If there are no major problems, the contract for the new book can be signed today.

It's just that when they actually met, Risa Takeda suddenly sensed that something was wrong. The state of Shiori Baiyuan in front of her was completely different from the state she imagined, and there was a little more complexity that could not be explained.

"Huh?" Baiyuan Shiori retracted her gaze from the window and looked at Takeda Risa with some confusion, "What's wrong? Sister Risa."

"..." Risa Takeda hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her feelings, "I think Shiori, your state is not quite right."

"Maybe it's because you haven't rested?" Bai Yuan Shizhi blinked, his eyes dodged for a moment, and he explained in a relaxed tone, "After all, it's a holiday, and I will definitely stay up all night excitedly in the first few days."

Risa Takeda knew Bai Yuan Shizhi well. She knew very well that when the other party was duplicity, she would blink unconsciously and avoid other people's eyes.

She looked at Bai Yuan Shizhi, thought about it, and finally did not expose the latter. She took out the prepared contract from the briefcase and put it on the table, "This is the contract for your new book." She paused, then changed the topic, "But the title of your book. Are you sure?"

"Isn't it good?"

Bai Yuan Shizhi took the contract in front of her, took out a pen from the small bag she carried, and signed her name where it should be signed.

"No, it's mainly because the title of the book feels indescribable." Risa Takeda paused, lowered her voice, and repeated the sentence in her original manuscript, "She knows he is not her moon, but At that moment, she knew very well that the moonlight was shining on her body."

"Ok?"

Bai Yuanshizhi raised her eyebrows, turned her head to the side, and looked at Takeda Risa with some doubts. She didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party's words at this time.

"Combined with this sentence, the title of your book inexplicably makes people feel sour." Takeda Risa sighed, ""Living in Memories"."

"Isn't that good." Bai Yuan Shizhi smiled accordingly, "Straightforward, without procrastination."

"Too."

Risa Takeda put away that look, opened the laptop that had been on standby, the screen lit up, and the interface was still in the open document, and the name of Chapter 1 came into her eyes again—— WHITE ALBUM.

For no reason, she panicked with a stomach ache.

"But, can we really only choose one of the two?" Risa Takeda couldn't help asking such a sentence.

Normally, she wouldn't even say such things, but because the book was so well written, she was completely immersed in the story in the book.

She likes the two heroines too much, and she hopes that they will have a good enough ending.

"I do not know."

Bai Yuan Shizhi shook his head.

As an author, she just writes the story she imagined. Maybe the heroine has some shadow of her, or maybe not, but she cannot interfere with the fate of her characters with her own will.

"Perhaps..." Risawa Takeda realized her overstepping, swallowed the words she wanted to say, and looked away, "Sorry, I got a little emotional."

She wanted to say, as the author, you should be able to bring this plot back to life, but she also realized that she was interfering with Bai Yuan Shizhi's creation, which is consistent with their consistent discussion style. not match.

"It's nothing."

Shiori Baiyuan shook her head, expressing her understanding, and then sorted out the signed contract in her hand, and handed it back to Risa Takeda.

"In short, the remaining work for this manuscript is to help you proofread typos. The remaining problems are not problems." Takeda Risa took the contract and put it into the mezzanine of the briefcase, and then put the laptop He closed it, and put his back hand in, "Next, there is another author who wants to chat with me, so I will leave first."

"Okay." Bai Yuan Shizhi nodded slightly, reminding Takeda Risa who was subconsciously waving to the waiter to pay the bill, "Sister Lisa, I have already paid the bill."

"Ok."

Takeda Risa put down her hand, picked up the briefcase, and waved to Shiori Baiyuan.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

As soon as the words fell, Takeda Rishato hurriedly pushed the door out and rushed to another location.

Her work appointments have always been like this, and they are full every day.

Then, it’s time to wait for her.

Shiori Baiyuan withdrew her gaze from watching Risa Takeda leave, took out her phone, checked the time, and quietly waited for the arrival of another person.

Jingle Bell.

The cafe doorbell rang.

Makoto Tsugumi, dressed in a shirt and trousers, opened the door and entered in a boyish attire.

Before the waiter in charge of welcoming the guests greeted him, Tsugumi Rina pointed to the corner where Shiori Baiyuan was sitting, and said that he was here for the appointment.

"A caramel macchiato."

The waiter froze for a moment, then nodded.

After sitting down in her seat, Rina Toshima breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to take a piece of toilet paper, and gently wiped the wisp of sweat on her forehead.

"It's hot outside."

Seeing Tsugumi Rina's appearance, Baiyuan Shiori showed a smile, took out a wet wipe from the bag and handed it to Tsugumi Rina.

"Aha." Toshimaru Rina took the wet wipes from Bai Yuan Shiori's hand and nodded, "You could have said it more vividly, I almost died in the sun."

"This summer is much hotter than previous years." Bai Yuan Shizhi echoed, and then asked, "Sister Rina, what do you want to eat later?"

"I can do it." Rina Toshima wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised her eyebrows, looked at Bai Yuan Shiori with some confusion, and then asked the question, "You tell me on the line I already know about it, and I agreed, but I want to know. Did you get the consent of your family this time? "

"They agreed."

Baiyuan Shizhi nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"So, how soon do you plan to move here? How long do you plan to live?"

Rina Tsugumi asked.

"Next Thursday, or next Friday." Bai Yuan Shizhi thought for a while, she packed her luggage, and then put an end to what she was doing temporarily, or it would take a few more days, "If you stay, I might bother you, Miss Rina It's been a long time."

"Shiori-chan, let's not bother you, let's not bother you." Tsugumi Rina waved her hand, "It's just..." Her expression was a little subtle, "It may take a little effort to eat. "

"Why bother?" Bai Yuan Shiori was stunned for half a second. In her impression, Rina Toshima has always been a player who goes out to work.

Shouldn't it be...

She turned her beautiful eyes slightly, "I'll pay for the food expenses."

"No." Rina Toshima shook her head, "You misunderstood me. I am eating with others now, so..."

"Oh." Bai Yuan Shizhi nodded as if suddenly realized, and then she changed the topic, "It's okay, it's the same when I go out to eat by myself."

"It's not necessary." Tsugumi Rina shook her head, she lowered her eyebrows, her expression was somewhat subtle, "I'll ask him when the time comes."

Anyway, you are all acquaintances.

She added this sentence leisurely in her heart.
