Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Akie Kuriyama sighed heavily, moved the mouse, and was about to click on the next submission when a new email notification caught her attention.

【Watanabe Yuu, "Norwegian Wood"】

"This name..."

Kuriyama Akie raised her eyebrows and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Just the name itself was already two levels better than the movie she had just watched, "That's Snow," and more than five hundred times better than the movie she was about to watch, "Lost Youth."

"Sorry, even if you are a shit-eater who is responsible, you have the right to yearn for the light!"

After finding a reason for herself, Kuriyama Akiie chose to read the manuscript first without hesitation.

"Anyway, this is the last manuscript I'll read today."

Kuriyama Akiie rubbed her smooth chin, downloaded the attachment, and clicked on it.

Chapter 22 I'll make you an offer you can't refuse!

For most people, vacation is like toilet paper, which is used up faster than people are aware of it.

"So this is a punishment?"

During lunch break, leaning on the railing in the corridor, Kiriyama and Ma looked at the girls exercising not far away, with some emotion on their faces.

"What do you mean?"

Watanabe Yu asked with some confusion.

"Literally."

Kiriyama and Ma withdrew their gaze from that direction.

I have to say it, the girl in the next class has really impressive physical conditions, and you can tell at a glance that her children will definitely not starve in the future.

"Today is Monday. Do you know what Monday means?"

Kiriyama and Ma shouted.

As much as people love weekends, they hate Mondays.

"The start of the week?"

Watanabe Yu took up the conversation.

"Wrong, it's the beginning of a week of suffering."

Kiriyama and Ma sighed, looking as if a bitter wine had gone down their throats and their heart ached.

If possible, he really wishes every day was Saturday so that he could sleep in comfortably.

“Really hardship?”

Watanabe Yushin said that this was just the beginning, and now was the most carefree time.

Looking forward to it, starting from entering college, I can feel the hidden pressure of survival. It is not until I completely leave the ivory tower of school and step into society that I suddenly realize that everything has just begun.

“What misery!”

Kiriyama and Ma nodded without hesitation.

The only thing he could think of that would be more difficult than Monday was the exams on Thursday and Friday.

"How does that compare to your love that ended in vain?"

Watanabe Yu gave a wicked smile.

"...You know how to compare." Kiriyama and Ma were silent for a while, then changed the subject with a helpless look on their faces. He really couldn't talk to this kind of academic demon at all. "By the way, I feel like you and Hayakawa seem to have gotten closer today?

"Did something happen that is not worth telling others?"

He was very concerned about the progress between Watanabe Yu and Hayakawa Yuki.

Although the latter two are still friends at present, don’t most relationships start out as friendships?

It will happen naturally.

"Hayakawa's mother treated me to a meal over the weekend."

Watanabe Yu ignored the latter part of Kiriyama and Ma's speech.

After being with this guy for so long, he's used to it.

"Oh!" Hearing this, Kiriyama and Ma nodded in understanding, collected their wandering thoughts, and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, did you feel anything different this morning? I mean, when you entered the classroom."

"What's different?"

Watanabe Yu was stunned for a second, not understanding what Kiriyama and Ma meant.

“No, buddy…” Kiriyama and Ma rolled their eyes, then sighed, turned around, leaned on the railing with both hands, and pointedly reminded Watanabe Yu, “Is their sight focused?”

"You mean everyone is looking at your new hairstyle?"

When he entered the classroom in the morning, he was still yawning and had no energy to pay attention to anything else.

“It would be great if that’s the case.” Kiriyama and Ma turned to look at Watanabe Yuu, with a bit of grievance in their eyes, “But everyone is looking at you, the handsome Okinawan guy!

"Do you have to let me say it out before you're satisfied?"

If he could go back to that day, he would definitely not drag Watanabe Yu to get his hair cut.

He must have cut it by himself!

"…Uh, that's not what I meant."

Watanabe Yu looked away and explained.

"Do you know what the most common words I heard today are?"

Kiriyama and Ma shifted their gaze and looked into the classroom.

"What is it?"

Watanabe Yu took up the conversation.

"Several boys who are close to me asked me where I got my short hair cut. They also want to have a similar hairstyle." Kiriyama and Ma paused, raised their eyebrows, and motioned for Watanabe Yu to look in the classroom, "Here..."

From his perspective, he could see several girls stealing glances at Watanabe Yuu, then quickly looking away and chattering in a low voice.

"What are you saying?"

Watanabe Yu ignored him, raised his eyebrows and looked at the sky not far away.

The city sky after the rain is clearer than ever before. The sky is high and the clouds are far away, and the blue sky seems to have no end.

Because of the planning, the high-rise buildings are not dense, unlike the port area, which does not give people a suffocating feeling of living in a bustling steel forest.

A breeze blew by.

Watanabe Yu straightened his body, closed his eyes and enjoyed the breeze.

Every time this happened, he would feel that he had temporarily put aside all his worries and embraced the ideal life he wanted.

"Too."

Seeing this scene, Kiriyama and Ma laughed, turned around, leaned against the railing, and closed their eyes in imitation.

Buzz. Buzz.

Suddenly, Watanabe Yu's cell phone vibrated.

He opened his eyes and took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket.

It was a friend request message, and the applicant filled in the note "Akiba Bookstore editor Akiie Kuriyama".

So fast?

After sighing in his heart at the efficiency of Akiba Bookstore, Watanabe Yu clicked "accept" and then entered the chat interface with the other party.

Just when he was thinking about how to start, the other party sent a message first.

【Teacher Yuu Watanabe? 】

Looking at the word "Teacher" on the phone screen, Watanabe Yu frowned and typed a reply.

[Yes, can you please not call me teacher? Just Watanabe is fine.]

The message showed as read within seconds, and soon after, Kuriyama Akiie's reply arrived as expected.

[Teacher Watanabe, this is my work certificate, as well as your contribution, photo.jpg]

[As for the suffix "teacher", I think it is necessary, at least online]

It seems that this number is the publishing house's public account.

Watanabe Yu took a look at the other party's next sentence and immediately understood.

As for the photo and work ID, he also looked at them together and confirmed that the other party was Akihabara Akiie, the editor of Akiba Bookstore.

【ok】

He gave a reply.

[Let me get straight to the point, Mr. Watanabe, your work "Norwegian Wood" has been approved. How long will you have free time in the future so that we can meet and discuss it in detail? ]

On the other end of the network, Kuriyama Akie confirmed again and again that there was no mistake in her line of text and clicked send.

The message showed that it had been read, and Watanabe Yu's reply came.

【Wednesday, 5pm to 7pm】

[No problem, can I come to you? Or you come over? ]

【I'll come over here】

[It’s in this coffee shop, right next to our book club (map link)]

【it is good】

Looking at the word "good", Kuriyama Akiie let out a long sigh and put away her phone as if she was holding a fragile treasure.

Last night, her expectations for "Norwegian Wood" were not too high. She just felt that this book should be of the standard of a normal professional author.

But when she actually started to look, she realized how wrong she was.

The description in the first paragraph had already caught her attention.

She was immersed in the story.

When she came to her senses, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Having not slept all night, she hurried to the bookstore and started reading the book at her workstation.

It was not until half an hour ago that she finished reading the last word of the book with a sense of loss.

In order to prevent her emotions from affecting subsequent communication, she even set aside 20 minutes to adjust her mood. Only after she had adjusted herself did she add Watanabe Yu as a friend through the contact information in the email.

As a professional editor, she is absolutely certain that this book will be a hit!

At the moment, it seems that the matter is half done.

Her performance this month, no, her performance for the coming year, is already waving at her.

What remains is how to win over Watanabe Yu.

"It's time to go find the president."

Kuriyama Akie picked up the USB drive, stood up from her workstation, and walked into the president's office with a determined look on her face.

She is going to ask the president for a favorable offer.

A generous offer that no other publishing house can offer and that Watanabe Yuu cannot refuse!
