Chapter 309 His Day Off

The start of the third semester of Shirakawa High School did not cause too much of a stir. For many students of Shirakawa High School, although there were indeed aftereffects of the holiday, everyone adjusted to their status quite quickly.

On the one hand, for the senior high school students, they are about to usher in graduation and college entrance examination.

During this winter vacation, they actually did not really rest for 20 days. They more or less participated in various short-term cram schools.

On the other hand, the teachers at Shirakawa High School are very strict in controlling the teaching rhythm after the start of school.

Even the first and second grade students in high school, who were not under so much pressure to enter higher education, quickly returned to their previous semester and even better learning status under the high demands of teachers.

To take a word that all teachers say from word to mouth, it is that other public high schools have very short daily classes and ample after-school time, but this is based on the fact that the school has no requirements for students and students for their further studies. under the premise.If you want to have something you've never had, you have to work harder than ever before.

Time has just arrived at the weekend of the first week after school started.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, inside a coffee shop outside Yuanchi Department Store.

"Sorry, I seem to only care about myself when I set this time."

Kaoru Kamino, who was sitting in the booth, glanced at the women's watch on his wrist, raised his eyebrows, and felt a little more uneasy in his eyes.

When she made an appointment that day, she subconsciously only cared about herself. Just now, on the way to the appointment, she saw a few people who were in a hurry. The people walking towards her seemed to be staff in department stores and supermarkets, and she suddenly remembered. Come this time.

Her working hours are quite special.

To put it nicely, it’s called self-determination of commuting time. To put it poorly, it’s because I’m often working in the field, so how long I get off work that day depends entirely on the day’s itinerary.

Theoretically speaking, she, the editor at Baiyuanchuan Library, should not have much to do, but thanks to Beichuan's wonderful performance last year, more and more people want to be happy by submitting articles to her. More, and the weight of successfully receiving the manuscript has also increased.

There are more and more authors under my command, and my daily schedule is getting fuller and fuller.

Unfortunately, the time scheduled by these authors was basically concentrated on four, five, six and seven within a week, so her work was even busier these days.

Fortunately, the president is quite tolerant in this regard. Regardless of special periods, there are only five working days in a week, and the rest of the time can be arranged by oneself.

"Uh……"

Kitagawa Che was stunned for a moment and glanced blankly at Kamino Kaoru in front of him, and then he quickly came to his senses as to what the other person was referring to.

On the way here, he also saw many office workers who were wearing hats but still had to go to work.

"You're overthinking, Editor Kamino." Kitagawa Teru shook his head in confusion, "My normal schedule is six o'clock every morning..." He turned his eyebrows and looked at Ejima Myo who was sitting next to him, " Morning exercise starts at six o’clock, right?”

He could hardly remember the time he did morning exercises when he got up in the morning. After all, his body had developed a corresponding biological clock and woke up at that time.

As for time and lack of time, he no longer paid attention to it.

"Yes, Master, Ah Che, but because it's winter recently, the time has been postponed by half an hour."

Ejima Miao nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

As for the name that was almost easy to say, as long as it was not really said out loud, there would be no problem.

"Is it like this every day?"

Hearing this, Kamino Kaoru put away his apologetic and anxious expression, and turned to look at Kitagawa Che with some surprise, his eyes full of shock.

During the time when she was studying, she did insist on morning exercises for a period of time, but the effect was not ideal. It was not that she couldn't get up on study days, but that she couldn't get up on rest days.

Now that I'm working, it's the same thing.

It's easy to get up early on a working day, but there will be a tight string in your heart. At that point, no matter how sleepy you are, you will force yourself to open your eyes.

But once it’s day off, it’s the complete opposite.

Even if the alarm clock rings a thousand times, and the vows I made to myself so many times last night will be completely destroyed by fatigue at this moment.

Getting up early is a joke.

"It's not much different, unless the weather outside is really bad."

Kitagawa Che nodded. A certain period of time last year coincided with the rainy season. During that time, their morning exercises were forced to change places. In terms of intensity, due to Miao's insistence, they also dropped a level.

"……sharp."

Kamino Kaoru gave a thumbs up and praised him sincerely.

She knows how difficult it is to stick to such a good habit.

only……

Some etiquette questions still have to be asked.

"I didn't have time to ask just now, Teacher Beichuan, who is this?"

Kamino Kaoru sat up straight, first glanced at Ejima Miao politely, and then gave Kitagawa Cheru a questioning look.

She didn't know the beautiful short-haired girl sitting next to Kitagawa Che.

As an editor, there are actually a lot of things that you should not ask. Even if you see them, you have to pretend not to see them. Because of this, she is also mentally prepared accordingly.

If Beichuan Che was careless, she would stop asking questions and go straight to the point.

only……

Kaoru Kamino unconsciously glanced at Eshima Miao again from the corner of his eye.

This girl really looks like the second female lead in a morning drama. She has a cool temperament and beautiful cheeks, but she also has an indescribable sense of brokenness.

"Myo Eshima, my... childhood sweetheart."

Kitagawa Che considered the words for a moment, and then gave such a concise and concise introduction that was true but incomplete.

Strictly speaking, Eshima Myoko was indeed his childhood sweetheart.

"Oh!"

Kamino Kaoru nodded thoughtfully.

But he was muttering in his heart.

Just based on the way this girl looked at you just now, that feeling of going from a world of ice and snow to the warmth of spring in one fell swoop, do you call this your childhood sweetheart?

However, she didn't plan to ask any more questions.

Everyone needs privacy. She is just Beichuan Che's editor in charge, and she is not his sister. There is no reason to inquire into his affairs.

"Then, let's talk about business."

Kamino Kaoru coughed slightly and changed the topic to the main topic.

"Ok."

Kitagawa Che responded, sat up straight, and looked at Kamino Kaoru quite seriously.

Eshima Myonori lowered her eyebrows quite cooperatively and looked at her cup of hot milk on the table.

The face hidden by the short hair unconsciously raised slightly, outlining a bright smile.

Bad guys are quite attentive at times like this.

She personally doesn't like coffee and doesn't like drinking it.

When she comes to a coffee shop, she either orders a basic cup of sparkling water or chooses hot milk.But the weather has been cold recently, so sparkling water is not suitable. Naturally, the only option left is hot milk.

Just now, she originally thought that she needed to order by herself, and she was mentally prepared accordingly, but when her young master was ordering drinks, he had already ordered them for her.

"Regarding the manuscript of "Love Letter", it took a little longer to send it this time..." Kamino Kaoru did not pay attention to Ejima Miao, or in other words, her attention was already focused on her work, "It's late, so I read The progress has not kept up.

"There are still about one-fifth of the content that I haven't finished reading yet. Can you give me some time?

"It doesn't take too long, it can be done within half an hour."

The original "Love Letter" was received at 11:30 last night.

When she was just halfway through watching it, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Originally, she planned to read it in one sitting, but she had an appointment with Kitagawa Che this morning, so she could only put down her laptop and go rest.

I watched half of it last night, and another half of it this morning. So far, only the ending of the story is left.

"no problem."

Kitagawa Che nodded.

It was only nine-twenty now, and there was still a lot of time in the morning. Besides, he had already told Linyin that they would not go back to eat at noon today.

"Then, please wait a moment."

Kaoru Kamino breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Kitagawa Che's affirmative answer. He took out his new tablet computer from the bag beside him, lit up the screen, and continued to read the original manuscript.

The story "Love Letter" suited her very well.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Kitagawa Che had not made an appointment this morning, with her temperament, she would have read the original manuscript of "Love Letter" calmly last night.

When she was reading the manuscript yesterday, she had an indescribable feeling that Beichuan seemed to have made progress again.

If he was still at a mature but not so mature stage when he wrote "Hear the Wind Sing", then "Norwegian Wood" is already at a fully mature stage, and now this This "Love Letter" has reached a level that she can't explain and goes further.

It is already close to, no, it is already on par with, and even a little bit beyond the elders in the industry.

Anyway, the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, and the more she looked at it, the more shocked she became.

Half an hour passed by in a flash, and Kamino Kaoru put down his tablet as promised, rubbed his eyes slightly, and then looked at Kitagawa Che with bright eyes.

"so……"

"Forgive me for interrupting you. I was a little curious before. Teacher Beichuan, are you really writing based on your interests and hobbies?"

Interrupting Kitagawa Che's speech, Kamino Kaoru leaned forward slightly and looked at Kitagawa Che expectantly.

She had an intuitive feeling that regardless of the achievements that had been made, in the next 20 or 30 years, as long as Kitagawa Che was still writing, he would become an unprecedented figure in Baiyuanchuan Library. Writer, and left a mark in the literary world.

This person is really exaggerating.

Whether it is the improvement in writing skills or the control of the story structure, it is a leap-forward growth that is completely visible to the naked eye.

"I've been reading books for a long time."

Beichuan Che paused and started talking casually.

But in fact, if you insist on saying so, this can't be considered nonsense. After all, he did read a lot of excellent literary works before traveling through time.

And this explanation seems to be full of loopholes, but in fact it is worthy of careful consideration and brainstorming.

That's all he said, Kamino Kaoru would figure it out on his own.

"I understand."

Sure enough, Kamino Kaoru nodded as if he suddenly understood, as if he understood something.

However, she was not too immersed in this matter. After thinking about her words for a while, she continued to talk about the business, "Back to the original manuscript this time.

“As for quality issues, based on my personal aesthetic standards, I can’t fault it.

“I can only say that it is quite outstanding.

"So, we can only talk about the contract. I have already drawn up the contract, and it still follows the template set by the president."

Saying this, Kamino Kaoru took out the printed contract from his briefcase and handed it to Kitagawa Che in front of him.

Their contract documents are long-term, but to implement each book, a separate contract still needs to be signed.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Beichuan Che took the contract and read it carefully.

With Kamino Kaoru's character, she would definitely not cheat on the contract, but out of caution, he still felt it was more appropriate to confirm it with his own eyes.

In less than 3 minutes, Kitagawa Che finished reading the contract.

After confirming that this contract was the same as the one he signed when he wrote "Norwegian Wood", he picked up the pen aside, wrote his name where his name should be, and then stamped it. Put your own seal on it.

"In this case, it's done."

Kitagawa Che capped the pen, put away the seal, and handed it to Ejima Myo who was standing aside. The latter nodded, put away his personal seal, and then handed the signed contract back to him. Kaoru Kamino.

"Thank you. The only thing left is the final proofreading. The next words from my side..."

Kamino Kaoru looked at Kitagawa Che apologetically.

It's really embarrassing to say that her work schedule is quite full.

Almost every time, after she finished chatting with Kitagawa Che, she had to rush to the next place to meet the author.

Theoretically speaking, after a well-known author like Kitagawa Cheru has negotiated a new book, as the editor-in-chief, she has to treat him to a casual meal.

This was also before

"It's okay, just do it yourself."

Kitagawa Che smiled and gave Kamino Kaoru a look of 'nothing'.

He can understand that the other person is busy at work.

Moreover, he personally doesn't like the kind of casual meals that connect people with each other and have a commercial meaning. He is unwilling to participate if there is a choice.

Instead of having a casual meal like that, it is better to find a time to treat guests to a meal based on the idea of ​​"I want to treat you to a meal."

In this way, he will have to get used to it.

"Thank you."

Kamino Kaoru nodded slightly, thanked him, packed his things, got up and left the cafe.

She delayed a little more time here. Compared with the scheduled time for the next show, she has now exceeded the reserved time.

This also means that she no longer has the lingering charm of a calm past.

She had to speed up the rest of the journey.
