Can't You Skip Dating? / Can't You Just Like the Body?

"No, if you live here tonight, you can deduct [-] yen, no, [-]% discount with the card, it's [-] yen."

After getting acquainted with Ogihara Ming, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu did not say anything else, and the account began to settle.

After all, normally, no man would ask for money after a beautiful woman came to the door.

"I'm staying again, won't my family be worried?" Ogihara asked.

"I am a trustworthy person, always the first of the school year, never got into trouble, never rebelled against my parents."

"Okay, that's the case." Ogihara Ming's finger clicked the mouse, "Do you have something to say?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu looked away, and after putting down the book, she finally felt an emotion called shyness.

"No, I just want to ask, that... Is there anything to eat?"

"Huh? What are you thinking, of course not."

Akira Ogihara, who had a finished takeout box by his hand, replied.

"What about bread, rice balls and instant noodles?"

"Occasionally buy some, but not currently."

"Do you live by taking out food?"

"And go straight out to eat."

Shiyu of Kasumigaoka didn't know what to say - in her perception, the dead house who lived alone and didn't go out very much mainly relied on instant noodles and convenience store food, and those who had money to live this kind of life basically relied on cash , will not live like this.

As for the dead house that has money and status and doesn't like to cook, this is the first time I've seen it.

Looking at the time, she felt that it should be a little difficult to take out.

"I'm hungry." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said.

Ogihara was unmoved.

"At this time, it would be more dangerous for a girl like me to go out alone."

Ogihara Ming did not move.

"I'll pay for supper."

Akira Ogihara picked up the phone and stood up.

……

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu swears that she has never seen such a "stingy" person.

It's not to say that it's hard to get rid of it, at least this person is willing to expend effort to enlighten others, in addition, as long as you are willing to pay the price, this person can do a lot of things.

But the reverse is also true, whatever you want him to do, there is a price to pay.

For example

"I'll take you to a nearby supper stall and protect your safety, and you treat me to a bowl of ramen. This is a very fair deal, so Miss Kasumigaoka, please don't look at me with such strange eyes."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu pouted, and looked back temporarily, recalling the delicious ramen meal just now.

"I'm not struggling with the money for supper, but I'm a little curious. When Mr. Ogihara interacts with other people, must he count everything so clearly?"

"No, my rules are not strict enough to count every cent. That's not called obeying the rules, that's called being sick. In addition, the closer the relationship is, the more ambiguous it is, and you may even take the initiative to pay according to your mood."

Ogihara Akira lit a cigarette, because it was outside and there was a bit of night wind, so he didn't need to be as careful as indoors.

"Well, it's probably like saving money. Every time I strictly follow the rules, I save a small expense, and I save so much money every day, not just to spend when I want to spend it, And can you spend as much as you like?"

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu thought for a while and understood the meaning of these words.

"In other words, in the eyes of Mr. Ogihara, I am still a stranger, even worse than a stranger."

Ogihara Ming: "This is very embarrassing, how did you find out..."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu kicked away a stone and felt a little irritable: "Why?"

"There's nothing I can do, Miss Kasumigaoka." Ogihara Akira turned his face back and said with a big smile, "After all, I'm still being rejected by you, right? Although I don't have any arrogance to offend. , but not without pride, at least not wanting to be reduced to your level."

At first glance, this may be very guilt, and Ogihara appears to be pitiful, but Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who had been playing with words as a profession, regained her senses after a brief stupor.

"Wait a minute! That's a refusal of a physical deal, isn't it the same thing as an emotional refusal? Also, my situation is..."

"You were like a dog."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu gritted her teeth.

Akira Ogihara smiled mockingly and continued.

"Because it was me who had the desire and wanted to make a deal, I took the initiative to give some, um, for example, I promised that as long as you don't expose yourself, I won't let Mr. Asai trouble you, and give you some enlightenment. No problem, but that's it, Miss Kasumigaoka."

As if to emphasize that, Ogihara Akira repeated: "These efforts did not allow me to achieve the transaction I wanted, and I did not get any return, so my efforts have ended here, and there will be no more, and the remaining intersection is only deals, including taking you to a bowl of ramen."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu did not speak, and walked with his head down for a long time, thinking for a long time.

Even if she has a certain understanding, she has to admit that she still does not really understand the "differentness" of Ogihara Akira, and it is true that in addition to thanks, she lacks some rewards.

"What can I give you in return?"

"Body."

"..."

Maybe Ogihara Akira's answer was too natural, or maybe it was too natural, plus he wasn't worried about what Ogihara Akira was forcibly doing, when Kasumigaoka Shiyu heard the answer, he only felt a little headache.

"Speaking of which, you are still willing to accept my deal now." Shiyu Xiazhiqiu asked, "Can you do any kind of deal?"

"Of course not, let's talk about it first."

"happiness?"

Akira Ogihara glanced at Shiyu of Kasumigaoka.

"In the transaction with us, what you want to get, you need to pay. Although most of the needs can be measured and paid with money, there are some that can't. The most typical one is that you want to use the transaction method. As much happiness as you get, you will get as much misery."

"So things like happiness cannot be traded. You must fight for it yourself. Otherwise, the result will probably be much more painful than the original desire."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu nodded to show her understanding, this was not what she wanted, it was just a random question.

"Then... help me finish the game quickly?"

She felt that this request was also nonsense and did not hold much hope.

But Ogihara Ming did not openly refuse, but instead asked: "When you finish the game, you mean the part of the script that you are responsible for, right?"

"Ah? Yes..."

"If you want to finish it quickly, then I might be able to help you, but the price is a little hard to define. After all, I only want your body, and I don't care about your money."

Ogihara took a deep breath and looked at Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu with interest: "Let me ask first, why did you bring this up?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked back at Ogihara Akira's eyes, and the wine-red eyes revealed a bit of sternness.

"I want to finish it soon."

Just seeing that look, Ogihara Ming understood one thing.

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu finally "woke up".

The so-called girl in love is blind. In addition to her own perceptual thinking, it is also a matter of position. Just like your good friend makes a mistake, even if you think he is wrong, you can't just watch someone beat him. , even if he did deserve a beating.

Therefore, Akira Ogihara analyzes An Yilun with a neutral attitude, rather than slandering it with a relative position - the latter will trigger the confrontation in the position and may also create loopholes, while the former can make Shiyu Kasumigaoka start to think and make choices. , and finally gradually wake up from blindness.

And any sober person would feel that this distorted relationship is very problematic, and An Yilun is also very problematic.

"Go back first. Regarding this transaction, I need to read your manuscript first, and then discuss the remuneration."

Maybe, you can get some benefits in advance

Chapter 33 A Little Payback

The first element of reward is that your reward is really what the other party needs, not what you impose on the other party with your own values.

No matter how much help you received in the first place, you should pay more attention when paying off your debts.

Unless the relationship between them becomes incomprehensible, then as much as you owe, you have to repay as much, or you will never be able to stand up.

The words Ogihara said were always engraved in Kasumigaoka Shiyu's mind.

How much help did you receive in the first place?

Kadokawa Bookstore has always been indifferent to newcomers, so "Love Metronome" did not have much publicity in the early stage of its release, and the sales were not ideal. If it continues like this, it may be cut in half.

And the turning point of things came when a light novel blogger named TAKI spared no effort to promote it, that is, An Yilun.

As a well-known Zhaixiang blogger, An Yilun's publicity started to increase the sales of "Love Metronome", which attracted the attention of the bookstore. Become a super popular light novelist who has sold more than [-] copies today.

Even if there is no such publicity, in terms of the quality of the book, Shiyu of Kasumigaoka may not be able to stand out, but it may take more time and experience more ups and downs, and at the same time, there is indeed the possibility of being buried.

But these assumptions are of little significance. In reality, An Yilun has indeed contributed a lot.

At the same time, during the meeting at the signing ceremony, An Yilun also gave a string of compliments that sounded cumbersome, but full of enthusiasm, which really encouraged Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, especially when she knew that the other party was a lower-level student. Brother, and after the house to the blogger TAKI.

For a long time after that, Shiyu of Kasumigaoka almost worked hard to create for this fan. In order to repay this enthusiastic and entangled fan, he repeatedly scrutinized, argued with the editor, and worked his best to complete the work. This copy Spiritual support is also completely impossible to ignore.

Only when I showed the original manuscript of the final volume to An Yilun, and hoped to get his impressions, and even when I hoped that the other party would choose the ending, An Yilun also used the reason of "not being responsible for this work", together with his heart. were rejected together.

Fortunately, by now, that doesn't matter anymore.

What I need to think about now is whether I can do my best to help An Yilun make this game well, whether I can pay back the help I received at the beginning, whether I can raise my head again and make my own choices, without having to worry about the past. Sleepy.

If so, then the day when the manuscript is completed is the day when the past is completely over.

Kasumi Hill Shiyu opened his eyes.

The thick curtains blocked the sunlight, making people feel that it was dawn, but they couldn't know exactly when it was, until he reached out and touched the mobile phone beside the pillow, and finally determined that it was almost noon.

It was too late to read the book yesterday.

Thinking of something that was of some concern, Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't stay in bed, and resisted the desire to touch the Monogatari series on the bedside table, hurriedly dressed and washed, and left the room.

Then he stopped in front of Ogihara Akira's closed door.

Not everyone likes to be woken up, some of them still have the air of getting up, and they will be very irritable when they are woken up. Thinking of this, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu raised half of his hand and put it down.

But when she was about to turn around and go back, there was another voice inside the house.
