Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

After hearing this, Mashiro Shiina nodded and bit into the mutton roll as if he was being fed.

The scene was once very warm.

"that……"

When the words rang out, Misaki Kamikusa raised her hands hesitantly, with a look of very uncomfortable frustration on her face.

"Although I really want to go, but I happen to have something to do that day, and I have an animation business to negotiate, so..."

"Me too."

Mitaka Jin also raised his hand.

"I also had to go to school for something that day. After all, I am about to graduate."

"And I'm not free either." Qianshi Qianxun took a sip of the beer in the glass and said slowly.

"Teacher, what can happen to you..." Qin Xianshu was at a loss.

"Friendship!"

"Oh oh oh..."

In front of the older single female teacher with a fierce look on her face, even a detective as strong as a high school student could only salute the French military salute knowingly, saying that her question was purely unintentional.

After dinner, in the room, Qin Sanshu sat in front of the computer and was going through a large number of commissions that had been accumulated for a week.

squeak--

The door to the room was suddenly opened from the outside, and Yukiko walked in with slippers and a change of pajamas.

"What's wrong, Yukiko, don't you want to take a shower?"

Qin Xianshu stopped operating the mouse and cast a curious look.

As usual, now is the time for the girls to prepare to take a shower first.

"No rush, I'll go right away."

Yukiko raised the pajamas in her hands, walked closer and threw them on the bed. Then she sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the sheets next to her.

It means that Qin Sanshu also wants to sit over.

The high school detective immediately understood and chose to follow the good example.

He sat down next to Yukiko and rubbed the tip of his nose intimately from the girl's ear to her neck, going back and forth several times before stopping.

"Have you missed me since you haven't seen me much these past few days?"

"Go, go, what are you thinking about..."

Feeling the intrusion of a familiar aura, a faint blush immediately appeared on Yukiko's originally fair and tender skin, and her voice became a little soft.

She tilted her head and leaned lightly on Qin Mianshu's shoulder, rubbing her with peace of mind.

"But I definitely have something to say. After all, I haven't seen you much for a week, but I didn't come here to talk about this. It's not too late to talk about this later."

"Oh? Then Yukiko, what exactly are you going to say..."

"Shiina is participating in the Rookie Award this weekend."

Yukiko's right hand restlessly pulled Qin Ushu's left hand up on the bed, and then inserted her five fingers through the gaps between them, forming a ten-finger interlock.

"It's just you three who will do it then, I won't go."

"Ah? Are you busy that day, Yukiko?" Qin Sanshu was stunned.

Yukiko's sudden mention of this was a bit unexpected for him. After all, in the past, every weekend, Yukiko would either go out with him to run commissions, or she would spend the whole day in Sakurasou Nekota's room, reading various detective novels, and occasionally I will also write it myself.

However, it seems that due to lack of writing experience, in the end those manuscripts will eventually become waste paper in the trash can.

In short, this made Qin Ushu subconsciously acquiesce in the setting that Yukiko must be free on weekends.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his cheek was pinched by two delicate jade fingers.

"Stupid you."

The girl had a look of hatred on her face. She was really angry and funny.

"This is the newcomer award that Shiina attaches great importance to. No matter whether she wins or loses the award, Shiina will definitely have a lot to say to you. Can't you understand this? Otherwise, why do you think Misaki-senpai and Mitaka-senpai Teacher Qianxun and the others all suddenly said that something was wrong, so you couldn’t have secretly transferred the points from emotional intelligence to reasoning, right?"

"Nothing, I just didn't expect it..."

Qin Xianshu quickly shook his head.

"By the way, have you told Mashiro about this?"

"I told her just now when I went upstairs to get the clothes, and Shiina also agreed."

Just when the high school detective was sighing inwardly at Yukiko's generosity, she changed the subject without warning and her tone became a little ambiguous.

"But in exchange..."

She gently put her hand on Qin Uanshu's chest, licked her lips secretly with her little tongue, and said everything without saying anything.

"You shouldn't have wasted all your savings this week, right?"

Chapter 283 The front foot just left and the back foot stole the house

From Monday to Friday, Mashiro Shiina and Rita were busy revising and perfecting the drawing almost every night, filling in all the small flaws that were originally caused by the rush to rush the drawing, and on Saturday they made some overall modifications to the drawing. .

Finally, it’s Sunday.

The snow started falling yesterday evening. It was not heavy, but it was far from blocking traffic. It just covered the land of Chiba with a thin layer of silver.

As it is approaching Christmas, many stores on both sides of the city have put up decorative Christmas trees in front of them. Coupled with the fine snow falling from the sky and the continuous loop of Christmas songs playing in the rocker at the supermarket entrance, the festive atmosphere is instant. Laman.

Qin Ushu, Mashiro Shiina, and Rita set off from Sakurasou at around [-] noon. After nearly half an hour's drive, they arrived at an office building at the junction of the city center and the suburbs on the west side of Chiba. Down.

The location was not difficult to find. One reason was that the editor Ayano sent a copy of the company's address via text message to Mashiro and Qin Shanshu. Even if Mashiro couldn't figure it out by then, Qin Shanshu would still be responsible for it.

The other reason is that this comic publishing company seems to be quite wealthy. A mere newcomer award has made the scene huge. Not only the big banners and balloons in front of the company, but also their company can be seen from three or four streets away. Billboards, each with guidance information.

The taxi stopped on the side of the road opposite the office building, its hot exhaust pipe whining outwards with hot exhaust fumes.

"This is it, get off the car."

After paying enough fare to the taxi driver, Qin Sanshu opened the passenger door and got out, walked around to the back of the car, opened the trunk lid and took out the suitcase.

The suitcase belongs to Rita, of course.

According to the original plan, she will get on the plane back to the UK at six o'clock tonight. The time is quite tight. She will go to the airport immediately after Mashiro finishes judging the Newcomer Award, and will not return after the end. Sakurasou slowly had enough time to organize, so all the luggage was packed last night.

On the other side, Mashiro, who got out of the back seat of the taxi with Rita, was frozen by the icy cold wind blowing in her face and subconsciously wrapped the beige scarf around her neck tightly.

She had a shoulder bag slung across her body, which was full of papers for the Newcomer Award that she was going to submit today.

The girl raised her head and looked across the road for a while, then breathed out a puff of white mist.

"Ayano discovered..."

"Oh?"

Qin Xianshu followed the direction of her gaze and looked over.

I saw Ayano waiting there under the eaves outside the main door of the office building.

She wore a furry Santa hat on her head, a scarf around her neck like Zhenbai, and a pair of absolutely thick and warm pie gloves on her hands. She was holding a can of hot coffee that she had just bought from a nearby convenience store. She drank it leisurely, her appearance basically unchanged from when she saw her in Xia Tian. When she saw the three people arriving in the car, she waved happily.

Oh yes, and that pair of reflective sunglasses that you will always wear regardless of the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"That's Mashiro's manga editor." Rita came to Qin Ushu's side and murmured.

"Correct."

"Do you know Xian Shu?"

"I met him once. He is a person who likes sweets... huh?"

Qin Xianshu replied subconsciously. He realized something was wrong halfway through his words and suddenly came to his senses.

In response to him, the girl blinked continuously as if she were innocent.

"what happened?"

"No, nothing..."

Qin Mianshu said it was okay, but couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

By the way, haven’t you always called him Brother Qin before?

So the three of them crossed the road and came to the door of the office building.

"Yo, it's finally here."

Editor Ayano, who had been waiting here for a long time, came up and said hello with a smile.

"Merry Christmas, Ayano."

Shiina Mashiro still had that indifferent expression. She said softly, while taking off her shoulder bag and handing it over.

"What the hell, is there a Christmas gift that Mashiro wants to give me in it?"

Ayano obviously misunderstood. She happily took the bag from Mashiro and reached out to unzip it.

Qin Xian, who understood what was going on, added the explanation comfortably.

"Don't worry, it's just manuscript paper inside."

"...Okay, I knew it."

Ayano opened the zipper and successfully "seeing is believing", helplessly raised her forehead slightly.

However, she didn't take this little thing to heart. She quickly recovered and smiled at Qin Ushu.

"Long time no see, Qin."

"Long time no see, Miss Ayano." Qin Sanshu nodded in response.

"And this one is..."

The editor turned her attention to Rita, who was following Mashiro Shiina on the other side.

"This is Rita." Before Mashiro could speak, Qin Ushu directly introduced her, "She is Mashiro's best friend and roommate who grew up painting together in elementary school in the UK."

"I see~" Ayano understood immediately, "When I first meet Miss Rita, I am Mashiro's manga editor. Just call me Ayano."

"Both each other, and I'm glad to see you too, Miss Ayano." Rita responded politely.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Ayano returned to her usual casual demeanor. She drank the remaining coffee in the can, threw the empty can into the trash can on the roadside, and greeted the three of them. .

"Okay, let's go in first."

The heating in the office building was fully turned on. As soon as Qin Sanshu entered the door, he helped Mashiro take off the scarf around her neck, and also helped her take off a coat to prevent her from sweating due to the heat.

They were led by editor Ayano to the fourth floor of the office building and stopped in front of a huge conference room.

"This is where the Newcomer Award will be selected." Ayano turned around and explained.

"Because this is an on-site selection, it may take a lot of time. It is estimated to take about two to three hours. During this time, you can wait in the lounge No. 402 on the way we came here, or go upstairs It’s also a good choice to sit in the cafe.”

"Two or three hours..."

Qin Xianshu estimated the time in his mind.

Should be able to barely catch up.

"ok, I get it."

"Then I'll see you later."

Giving the two of them a look that said they were leaving first, Ayano reached out and patted Mashiro on the shoulder.

"Let's go, Mashiro."

"..."

The girl did not speak, but turned her gaze to Qin Xianshu, as if waiting for something.

The high school detective pursed his lips and gave an encouraging thumbs up.

"Go ahead and trust yourself."

"Um……"
