Chapter 486 Visiting Family from Light Novel
The next day, when he woke up, Kai Uesugi picked up the silver watch on the side coffee table and glanced at the time.
8:52:59
Uesugi Kai was so anxious for a moment, because he still had to go to class, but then he remembered that there was no important class today, so go to sleep, and draw those brain-sick sketches tomorrow.
He turned over, sandwiched the Shasha that he hugged every day between his legs, and rubbed Shasha's head like rubbing his wife's face.
I began to fantasize about the softness of my wife's cheeks in my head.
Morning jogging, hot breakfast, and washing up seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Just as he closed his eyes again, he suddenly thought of one thing - can he be so decadent?
No, my wife's favorability has not yet improved again.
Besides, he said that he would take her back to have a look.
Kaoru Uesugi sat up from the sofa, put his arms and elbows on his knees, and looked at his hands.
How should I tell her about the afterlife?
Time passed slowly bit by bit.
He got up from the sofa on his legs, came to Hanamaru Hanabi's room, and knocked on the door:
"Huahuo, are you awake?"
dong dong dong
He knocked twice more, and after confirming that Hanamaru Hanamaru did not respond, he opened the door and went in.
What I saw was the back view of a girl sitting in front of the computer.
She didn't hear the knock on the door because she was wearing earphones, presumably listening to music.
When Uesugi approached, he realized that she was drawing a picture, which was the picture of Akizuki Katayama that was discussed yesterday, her expression and movements were quite serious.
When you get closer, you can see that there are many photos on her desk.
A group photo of love, a back photo I took of her at the fireworks display, a photo of a travel outing, a photo of a date, and one of the most conspicuous wedding photos
Each photo is like a group of wedding photos, facing the girl sitting in front of the computer.
Uesugi Kai looked at himself in the wedding photo, with tears in the corners of his eyes but happy Hanamaru Hanabi written all over his face.
He thought to himself, that was indeed the happiest moment.
Uesugi Kai stood beside her silently like this, secretly looking at her side face, watching her constantly moving paintbrush for a long time.
It wasn't until Hanamaru got tired of Hanabi that she took off her earphones and got off the chair to go to the bathroom, only to find Uesugi Kai standing behind her.
"Mr. Zhao?" She was obviously taken aback, "When did Mr. Zhao stand here?"
"Just now." Uesugi Kai said with a smile on her face, "Actually, I just discovered something."
"whats the matter?"
"That is, just looking at your happy appearance from a distance gives me a happy feeling."
"Kai-kun. It seems like he's been saying weird things lately."
Uesugi Oki smiled slightly: "You think it's strange because we didn't hug each other today."
Although the reaction was very weak, but if you look carefully, you can see the faint pink on Hanamaru Hanabi's face: "You can't hug Oi-kun, there is no second exception."
"Mr. Kai! I don't want to improve my favorability, but I want to make a special case for Mr. Kai!"
Uesugi Kai suddenly felt that she was a little angry, and immediately put away his joking attitude: "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Kouhao's favorability has increased."
"Don't, don't!"
In life, at some point, you will suddenly understand what it means to gain wisdom after a fall.
Kai Uesugi understood that in this love game he set up, it is useless to simply ask his girlfriend for a hug, because if he is not careful, the favorability will be deducted a lot.
By the way, what are the rules of the love game?
"Ugh"
As soon as Kaoru Uesugi went out with his handbag, he felt that his head was extremely heavy, because now there was a big number on it:-
10
Damn it, it's back in place again.
Singing, playing the piano, making coffee, pinching shoulders, and giving gifts all seem to be things that have been done before, and they no longer work on Hanabi.
The second love seems to be even more difficult. In the past, when you fell in love, you just dragged Xiao Huahuo to a place and tried to rua.
rua rua, she's still shy, blushing, and her voice is weak
Get out of the car, walk to a vending machine, and take out a few coins from your purse.
Uesugi Kai ordered a bottle of wave soda, stooped to pick it up, and drank it while walking.
It took a long time to see a trash can after drinking.
This is the case in Japan. There are so few trash cans that it can almost be said that there are no trash cans.
I really don't know what kind of encirclement effect this can play. Isn't it a pile of garbage that should be thrown on the ground?
Especially in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, cans are everywhere.
Continue on your way.
Kadokawa Bunko light novel department, meeting room.
To be honest, when he came here, Kai Uesugi hadn’t felt the feeling of this kind of company for a long time.
In the office area, there is a workstation less than two meters wide, but above it are computers, keyboards, various documents, as well as various flowers and snacks.
This is not bad, at least the boss is allowed to eat snacks.
In my previous life, I changed to Shanzhao, so what is called work? That is called going to jail. I used it as a screw for the boss to make money. If I was a little tired, I went to the toilet. After a long time, it would be counted as absenteeism.
"Master Uesugi."
Editor Morisaki's voice brought Kai Uesugi back from his memories.
"Ah."
Editor Morisaki looked at the manuscript that Uesugi had sorted out for the second time: "Ms. Uesugi's writing style is quite good, even among the works that have been submitted to me, the writing style is the highest, because he is a student of Tokyo University. Mr. Uesugi thinks that this book What's the point of view?"
"Growth and resonance, what I hope is that readers can empathize with the hero's emotions, experience the feeling of being categorically abandoned by the metropolis, and see the emergence of hope and love when step by step towards despair."
This is of course a scene, although there is indeed such a meaning in it, Uesugi Kai mainly wants to write Hanabi.
Editor Morisaki flipped through the manuscript paper and stopped when he saw a scene. After careful consideration, he pointed to a paragraph and said:
"Well, this passage is well written. The male protagonist and the female protagonist meet, and at the same time the female protagonist and the male protagonist help the female second. The relationship between them also shows that the male protagonist is afraid of the daughter of the second female. The extravagant expectation of imagination indirectly adds to the closeness of the male protagonist to the female protagonist of the same stature.
"How do you plan to develop the story next?"
Uesugi Kai thought for a while and said: "Although the second female lead has a high status and a high level of cultural knowledge, there are some things that I can't do alone and need the help of the male lead."
Editor Morisaki immediately took up the conversation: "No problem, but during the period, we must also write about the friendship between the heroine and the second heroine. Only when friendship and love conflict, such feelings will explode;
"The sustenance given to the male protagonist by the deceased childhood sweetheart is the current main line for the time being. When accomplishing this goal, you also need to arrange more resistance, so that things don't seem to be going well but hide the direction of unraveling."
Editor Morisaki continued to carefully review the manuscript.
Kaoru Uesugi waited earnestly at the side.
"."
Another ten minutes passed.
Editor Morisaki closed the manuscript paper and looked at Kai Uesugi who was sitting across from him: "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, that's it, I will go back and read it carefully, change some places, and then send it to you by email. You can read it again and think If you can, you can submit it to me for official publication.”
Uesugi Kai nodded, "Okay."
He hadn't realized it was so easy to publish.
"Ah, by the way." Editor Morisaki who just got up seemed to suddenly recall something, and sat back again, "Do you have any contact with the illustrator?"
"Yes." Uesugi Kai said.
"Character design, cover, and illustrations, there are about ten sheets in total. If you hire an illustrator from an acquaintance, you can only pay for it yourself."
"Is there any difference?"
"If you don't have any relationship in this regard, we will help you find a professional illustrator, draw the character design according to your requirements, and then further improve the cover and illustration
"In this way, our publishing house will help you advance part of the money, because it is written in the contract, but if you find it yourself, it is not included in the illustrators we cooperate with, and it is not within the effective scope of the contract. You paid it all out of your own pocket."
"That's right." Kaoru Uesugi nodded.
"Mr. Uesugi, this is your first light novel. I suggest you choose a better artist to help you. It is best to have a certain reputation and a fan base. In this way, whether you are a new writer or not, you will have a certain The number of people is going to buy your work from the artist. Once the sales volume is achieved, it will not be so easy to be cut in half.
"If you have financial difficulties, you can consider the illustrators that our publishing house is currently cooperating with. Of course, the decision is still with you, teacher. If you have any ideas, please contact me at any time."
Kaoru Uesugi: "."
Seeing editor Morisaki's earnestness, it sounds as if his novel will definitely be cut in half.
I heard that light novel competition is particularly cruel.
Even if you pass the editorial test, if the sales volume is not good, the first volume will be cut off decisively as soon as it is released.
"Morisaki-san, let me ask, is it true that if the sales volume does not meet the standard, the novel will be cut in half immediately?"
"Yes." Editor Morisaki said without hesitation, and even said quite sincerely, "I hope that Uesugi-sensei will still have to prepare for this in advance. After all, the success of a light novel depends largely on luck."
Fine.
This is the cruelty of the industry.
No matter what kind of writer you are, you don't want to see the works you have written with all your painstaking efforts be left out, and see the vivid characters in it, and the characters you like, even before they get hot, they get cold.
That would be too chilling.
In Uesugi Kai's mind, he even thought of those light novel writers sitting in a dark corner sobbing while hugging their novels that had been cut in half.
They were thinking in their minds why they couldn't compare to the garbage light novels set by xx, and while complaining, they lost confidence in themselves.
Alas, normal life.
Kaoru Uesugi, who came out of the Kadokawa Bunko, got on the train to go home.
When he walked downstairs, he suddenly saw his father-in-law's Toyota Crown parked downstairs.
Father-in-law is here?
He quickly took the elevator upstairs and returned home.
Using the key to unlock the door, and entering the entrance to put on shoes, Kaoru Uesugi suddenly saw a little guy crawling in front of him.
"elder sister!"
In order to prevent this little guy from crawling under the entrance, Kai Uesugi grabbed Hanamaru Hanayu's neck jacket: "Oh, how many times have I said, it's my brother, you can call me brother-in-law."
He put on his slippers and returned to the house, and by the way, took Hanamaru Hanayu who almost climbed out of the room into his arms.
This little guy was giggling in his arms, and he was grabbing his ears for a while.
"Hey, hey, it hurts, it hurts."
When I came to the living room, the two mothers and the two little lolis were sitting in the living room.
If you don't say it carefully, Uesugi Kai really didn't realize that he already has four younger sisters.
He put the naughty Hanamaru Hanayu back into his mother-in-law's arms, and his younger sister Uesugi Shin crawled over again, asking him to hug her.
"Mom, auntie, why are you here?"
Mrs. Uesugi: "It's okay, come and see soon? Call Hua Huo sauce, she said you are at home, so we will come for a walk."
Mrs. Hanamaru shook her head: "You don't know, Xiao Kai, it's too tiring to take care of these four little guys."
Uesugi Kai glanced at Aiyi and Qian Aiyi on the sofa, "It's okay, they should be pretty good."
Aiyi was lying on her sister's lap at this moment, with her head down, and her fine hair was dragged to the ground. She saw Kai Uesugi standing upside down, stretched out her hand, and called him in a lazy voice: "Brother is back."
"Ah."
It's been a while since I've seen them both.
It's not that Uesugi Kai doesn't want to take Aiyi and Qian Aiyi to live here, but that after the transfer of custody, they must stay in the legal guardian's home, and government personnel will check regularly.
If it is not qualified, then nothing will be said, and the custody right will be taken back directly.
Mrs. Uesugi: "Xiao Kai, what are you doing now?"
"Ah, I got a new job." Kaoru Uesugi sat down beside Qian Aiyi, and Aiyi who was lying on her body got up, stepped on his feet and sat on his lap, and pointed He pointed to the oranges on the table.
Mrs. Uesugi: "Didn't you work in a coffee shop? Lost your job? Find another job?"
"No, this is a part-time job, and it doesn't affect time much." Kai Uesugi picked up the orange, peeled half of it, and fed it into Aiyi's mouth. A little shy, wanting to welcome but still refusing, finally ate the oranges he fed.
Aiyi: "Ah! My sister is so cunning!"
"?"
Qian Aiyi is a little confused.
Uesugi Kai quickly peeled off two more pieces, and fed them into the mouth of Aiyi, who was sitting on his lap, blocking her from speaking.
When your fingers accidentally touch her hair, you will be surprised at how soft her hair is.
Mrs. Hanamaru: "What kind of job?"
"writing a novel."
Mrs. Uesugi showed curiosity: "Light novel?"
"."
Kai Uesugi hesitated for a second or two, Aiyi's small mouth bit his finger along the orange petals.
Seeing his mother's expression, he seemed to be looking forward to it?
As if seeing Kai Uesugi's doubts, Mrs. Hanamaru explained with a smile: "Your mother has recently fallen in love with watching these things."
"what?!"
Uesugi Kai couldn't believe it, his mother is in her 30s and [-]s, can you watch this?
