It is not difficult to guess that she is usually a person who loves to read books, and it is no wonder that the brushstrokes are so delicate.It's a pity that her superficial life experience is not enough to support her to write good stories. If she is allowed to grow up for a few more years, her level will definitely be greatly improved.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, neither Luo Ye nor Shi Yu spoke, they just let the time pass quietly.

The alone time didn't last long, and Machida Sonoko rushed over, helping out diligently and neatly, showing her shrewd and capable skills.

After putting the antipyretic patch on his forehead, Shiyu only felt a little more comfortable in his head.He took a sip of warm water and swallowed down his throat, the abdominal cavity was filled with warmth again.

"Why don't you pay attention to your body? If we don't come, don't you realize it?"

Looking at the girl with hollow eyes distressedly, Machida Sonoko couldn't tell what it was like.

As she said to Luo Ye earlier, she admired and liked this young girl very much, and really couldn't bear to see her end up in such a situation.

"I'll retreat by myself, it's okay."

Shi Yu's mind is in a mess, even in such a difficult situation, she still insists on being stubborn.

"Let's take her to see a doctor, lest her head burn out later."

Luo Ye didn't expect that at this time, she was still committing the old habit of being arrogant.

Tsundere character is not so cute in reality.

"I'll take your temperature. It's okay, it's not too high. Let's see the situation. It's best if you can recede. If you can't recede, you can only see a doctor. Xiaoshi, you should sleep first. You haven't taken it in the past few days. It’s already good enough for you to be crushed.”

Machida Sonoko knew that she had been under too much pressure in recent days, and the main purpose of this trip was to get her out of the slump, so she tried her best to persuade her with a pleasant face.

Shi Yu no longer tried to be brave, and nodded in agreement.At this time, she is actually quite fragile. If it didn't hinder Luo Ye's embarrassment in the scene, she might have compromised with Machida Sonoko long ago.

Covered with a quilt and curled up in the bed, her body gradually warmed up, and Shiyu's consciousness began to become hazy and erratic, as if she would fall into a dream at any time.

Seeing the girl gradually breathing evenly and her chest rising and falling rhythmically, Machida Sonoko couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, a hanging heart finally let go.

She quickly motioned Luo Ye, who was standing on the edge of the bookshelf, to come over here, and asked in a low voice.

"How is your situation on the Internet? Has it improved?"

In real life, she has to commute to and from get off work every day, and she is extremely busy browsing a lot of manuscripts, but she really doesn't pay much attention to things on the Internet.If Luo Ye hadn't said that there was a way to help Shi Yu realize her wish, she might not notice the Internet until a few years later.

"It's okay, I entrusted a fairly well-known dead house web writer to help repost, and the number of reposts has soared from single digits at the beginning to hundreds of digits. If I finish drawing the princess and the dragon, it is estimated that The number of reprints can exceed [-] or even higher."

Counting what was just posted this morning, Luo Ye has already accumulated three paragraphs, and there are still five paragraphs left to complete.At the beginning of the story, it was all laying the groundwork, and it was not until after the death of the dragon that all the foreshadowing was taken back, which really touched people's hearts.

Although it is a color picture, but because the overall style tends to be simple, the difficulty of creation is not too great, and it is very easy for him to control.

Machida Sonoko glanced at Shiyu lying on the bed, pulled Luo Ye out of the house, and gently closed the door.

"Can you hurry up. Fujimi is already urging me to get Xia Shizi to take out the second volume as soon as possible, intending to understand the story in a hurry."

Although she pretended to be calm, there was undisguised anxiety in her expression.

It was not difficult for Luo Ye to guess that the new president had already put pressure on her, and there was a solemn expression in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll work harder in the past few days. The top Weibo on my account recommending Xia Shizi's works has gradually received replies and attention. But how many people are attracted to buy love metronomes? It’s easy to say. Besides, the sales of Sword Art Online have started to increase in the past few days, right?”

Although there is no statistics yet, it can be clearly noticed that the nearby light novel bookstore has placed Sword Art Online from a corner to a prominent position.

"Yeah, you have taken off. After being assigned a prominent recommendation position by the president, the data has skyrocketed. In recent days, the average daily sales volume has exceeded [-] and has even continued to increase. It can be said that our former president was wrong. Of course, our editorial department There is also a sense of responsibility.”

Machida Sonoko readily admitted her fault, but she really didn't expect that routine works could still be popular in her opinion.

It's not that there are similar themes in the market, but Sword Art Online is just read by people, and readers buy it.Where is the lead?She was a little confused.

"The character design is pleasing, the illustrations are good, and there is a gimmick at the beginning of the story. Didn't you explain it once? Although it is a literary creation, it must cater to the appetite of the readers. Since others can become the president, this vision is still there. Yes. You have to study hard too, don't think about finding someone to talk about marriage all day long."

Luo Ye can also figure out the preferences of young readers, while Machida Yuanzi has already had a generation gap in her thirties. In addition, reading a lot of manuscripts day after day has caused real aesthetic fatigue. It is difficult to consider these aspect.

"My family is urging me, what can I do? And why did you suddenly mention sales?"

Machida Sonoko couldn't help complaining, full of resentment for not being able to get married at this age.

"If the love metronome sales haven't increased after half a month, let me talk to the president. He should still listen to the new rich's suggestions, right?"

The attitude of businessmen is not difficult to grasp, it is all based on the consideration of interests.Now that Sword Art Online has shown a good momentum and is still on the rise, Luo Ye naturally has the right to speak in front of him.

"That's right. In short, I still hope that Xiaoshi's works can break through the threshold of [-] volumes as soon as possible. After all, strength has the final say. Otherwise, no matter how much you recommend the president, you won't pass it."

"I know, but don't you even have this little confidence in her? Didn't you say it, it's just that the reputation of the work has not opened up, just like I did before."

Luo Ye patted her on the shoulder and comforted her. He was so focused on chatting outside the door that he didn't notice any movement in the room.

As the time approached noon, Sonoko Machida rubbed her empty stomach suddenly and said with a smile.

"I'm hungry, can I trouble the chef to cook a delicious meal for us? You see Shiyu is sick in bed, and I don't know anything about cooking, so I can only ask you."

"Is this someone else's home?"

Luo Ye was still a little scrupulous at first, so she raised her eyebrows.But there was nothing he could do in this situation, and his cooking skills were really good, so he could only reluctantly agree and walked quickly into the kitchen.

After he left, Machida Sonoko couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, turned around and knocked on the door that was close to her back, and said softly through the door: "Xiaoshi, he's gone, so don't eavesdrop."

Chapter 0072 The Long-lost Sunshine

Seeing that there was no movement from inside the house, Sonoko Machida waited outside for a while, then slowly opened the door and entered.

The black, long and straight girl still curled up peacefully under the blanket, as if nothing had happened.If she hadn't noticed that the texture on the surface of the quilt was obviously different from before, I'm afraid she would really have thought that was the case.

Smiling silently, Sonoko Machida guessed Shiwa's little move just now.

At that time, with her back close to the door, she vaguely sensed some movement, guessing that Shi Yu probably got up secretly to listen to the corner of the wall.

The desire to master is unexpectedly a little strong, and I don't want to miss this opportunity even if I'm sick.

Since the girl already knew everything, but Luo Ye was the only one who was kept in the dark because she didn't know, Machida Sonoko simply made the words clear and murmured to herself.

"Not to mention, he really puts his heart into doing things. In his words, it is due to his responsibility. It may seem unreasonable to you, but there are indeed reasons for him. I actually quite admire this man, Very principled."

The words disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, and the girl was still lying on her side, and only her back could be seen from this angle.

Seeing that she was unwilling to reply, Sonoko Machida did not hesitate to take out the manuscript from the briefcase she carried to browse it.She specially asked for leave today, and the tasks at work are still heavy, so there is no room for more rest.

As for Shi Yu, who was lying on the bed, her heart was in a mess, and she really wanted to see what Luo Ye said about Weibo, but in the end she couldn't bear the exhaustion and fell asleep drowsily.

When she opened her eyes again, her consciousness was much clearer, and she was no longer as confused as before.

At some point, the curtains were pulled open a gap, thin light poured into the room through the glass, and the continuous cloudy weather seemed to be starting to clear up.

He stretched out his hand to touch the light source, but Luo Ye's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Wake up? Have some hot water?"

Shi Yu almost sat up suddenly from the shock, and then realized that this was his bedroom, secretly relieved, and looked at him not far away with vigilance, the hostility in his eyes was more hostile than before. Much less.

"As for being so nervous? I won't eat you again."

Luo Yeben was flipping through the romance novels on the bookshelf, seeing her look like this, he closed the book and put it back where it was, and waved her hand to signal her to calm down.

"Where is Machida-san? Why are you here alone?"

If Shi Yu remembers correctly, the two should have visited her home together before, but now only the young man is left.

This lonely man and widow are in the same room, so he is not allowed to be interested in sex, not to mention that she is so limp and unable to exert any strength at all, she can't make effective resistance at all.

"She went out. So now it's just the two of us in the house."

After Luo Ye finished speaking meaningfully, a long stick appeared on the ground as soon as he finished speaking.Before she could react, she had already broken through the defense line of her lips, and stuffed it firmly into her mouth against her tongue.

And Shiyu was ashamed and angry, his cheeks were flushed all over, he could only protest symbolically, and realized that his strength gradually weakened after doing useless work.

"It's just taking your temperature, so there's no need to panic, right?"

After waiting for a while, Luo Ye took the thermometer out of her mouth and glanced at the displayed temperature.

The fever is already subsiding, and it is much better than before, and it should recover after a short rest.

"Are you hungry? It's time to eat, come with me."

Luo Ye supported Shi Yu, whose body was still weakening, and walked towards the kitchen.

Even if you are far away, you can smell a fragrance that is enough to whet your appetite.

Reminiscent of a remnant fighter who is too old to cook, it is not difficult to guess who cooked it.

"Huh? Xiaoshi is awake. Come on, sit down quickly, are you hungry?"

Sonoko Machida, who was devoting herself to feasting, saw the two people walking towards them, and quickly asked them to sit down.

Luo Ye habitually helped to serve the rice and put the bowls and chopsticks on the table. Seeing that Shi Yu was still looking sluggish, her expression was a little subtle.

"You don't want us to feed you, do you? Teacher Xia Shizi."

"Of course...no need."

Shi Yu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he was a little slow to reply, and finally he was willing to taste it.

Considering that she was sick, Luo Ye didn't dare to make it spicy as usual, but tried to be as light as possible, bringing the color and aroma to the extreme that can be achieved so far.

Originally, Shi Yu didn't have much appetite, but seeing the bright colors of the dishes and the tempting aroma coming out, the gluttons in his stomach kept urging him.When she put fresh Qingjiang vegetables mixed with thin slices of meat into her mouth, her taste buds were a little lost in the mixed experience of vegetables and meat at that moment. Get hooked quickly.

When she came back to her senses, she had subconsciously eaten a lot, and the other two looked at her with smiles.

"Is it delicious? His cooking skills are really strong. To be honest, I didn't take it seriously if I didn't taste it before. Now I feel that as long as I can eat this meal every day, it is a great happiness."

Machida Sonoko spoke inarticulately with food in her mouth.

It is said that if you want to grasp a person's heart, you must first grasp his or her stomach. Now that I think about it, it is not unreasonable.If it wasn't for the huge age gap, she might be a little tempted by Luo Ye.

"well enough."

Although Shi Yu agrees with this statement in his heart, he is still reluctant to admit it verbally.

"He also made a special pot of chicken soup. It has cooled down for a while, but it is still a little hot, so be careful."

Luo Ye didn't even need to speak, Machida Sonoko had done almost everything he wanted to say and do, and pushed the steaming chicken soup in front of the girl.

Shi Yu didn't refuse, she didn't eat breakfast, and she slept until the afternoon, she was really hungry.

After half a bowl of mellow chicken soup, the whole person is warmed up like being baked by a furnace, which brings one of the few warmth in winter, and all the troubles seem to be left behind.

She was still a little nostalgic and immersed in this beauty, but Luo Ye suddenly spoke in a serious manner.

"Love metronome, you created it based on this city."

“How come you see?”

There was an indiscernible hint of shock in the wine red eyes, Shi Yu pretended to be calm, and her tone was not very natural.

Obviously, she used fictitious names in the book instead, without revealing any relevant information.How did Ke Luoye know about it?This is how thoroughly you have to see to find out.

"The station near your house is where Naoto and Sayuka first met. Am I right? Teacher Kasumi Shiko."

It was obviously a very plain tone, but it caused ripples in Shi Yu's originally silent mind like stagnant water, and a ray of sunshine broke through the clouds and mist and shone on her body after a long time.

Chapter 0073 The Inner World

"You have never been to Hehe City before, have you? Can you observe so meticulously?"

Taking a few deep breaths to calm down the slightly confused mood, Shi Yu gritted her teeth lightly, eager to know the answer from him to satisfy her inner curiosity.

Just from Machida Sonoko's surprised and bewildered expression at this moment, it is not difficult to deduce that only the young man is aware of this.

"You have poured so much ink into that station, it's hard not to notice it. No matter how I say it, I've looked at your works carefully, so I can't fail to discover them."

Luo Ye had already noticed it when he passed by Machida Yuanzi today, and after a little probing, he didn't expect that he really hit the point and hit the truth.

As for why it can be found, it is actually very simple.He specially bought a love metronome, read through the novel several times, and was deeply impressed by the story, so he can be called a senior reader.

The simple few words contain a lot of content that cannot be conveyed by words, the closed door deep in Shi Yu's heart seems to be quietly opened.She sighed faintly, the remaining guard was running low, and she began to truly speak the truth.

"As you said, this city is the stage where the love metronome story takes place."

"It's a very smart approach. If you use local materials, the difficulty of creating is much less than nothing."

Luo Ye calmly rested his chin on the palm of his hand, nodded in approval.

After all, fiction requires imagination, and there is still a certain degree of difficulty.Even though it seems that he is very familiar with the content of Sword Art Online, it is inevitable that there will be errors when setting the game world, and some data will be found to be subtly inconsistent if they are more accurate.

After all, the author is an individual, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes.Even so, it is still flawless and cannot conceal its original brilliance.

"That's why my works are very rustic. There are no tourist attractions or famous things in Hehe City, and it is only less than 10 minutes' drive from the capital circle. Compared with those streets with famous local characteristics, it is really inconspicuous."

At first, Shi Yu regarded those online comments as malicious slander, angrily planned to fight back, and planned to teach them a good lesson.

But after listening to what Luo Ye said over the phone, she began to seriously think about whether there was indeed something she failed to do well.
