Zongman: Exchange lives with the heroines

Chapter 19: Don't Make Gender Jokes

The lunch was a great success and Machida Sonoko was very satisfied with the meal, but also felt very sorry for it.

The consumption is too high, it’s her salary for several months.

Although it wasn't her money, she couldn't help but feel the pain when she saw the huge bill.

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino paying the bill naturally, as if she didn't care about the expenses at all, Machida Sonoko said with half envy and half emotion: "Ms. Yukinoshita, your family must be a wealthy family."

Xia Mo shook his head and smiled without saying anything.

Machida Sonoko became more and more certain. She looked at the other person's clothes and found that they were indeed famous brands. The price was roughly equivalent to half a month's salary for her.

Although she could afford it with great effort.

But for "Yukinoshita Yukino", it may just be the most insignificant piece of clothing among many others.

Is this a wealthy family?

Is this a rich person?

Damn it.

I am so envious.

Machida Sonoko's complaints came and went quickly.

As an adult, she is no longer naive and has accepted the reality that people are not born equal.

So complaining is useless, working hard is the real thing.

After making herself a bowl of chicken soup, Machida Sonoko cheered herself up and looked at "Yukinoshita Yukino" opposite her.

"Ms. Yukinoshita, if you need any help from me, just tell me. As long as it does not violate the principles, I will definitely help."

There is no free lunch in the world. It is obvious that the other party has something in mind when he invites you to a meal.

She accepted it, but also drew a red line in advance to prevent the other party from making excessive requests.

Xia Mo smiled and said, "Of course it doesn't violate the principle, I just hope Miss Machida will take good care of Xia Mo-kun in the future."

The request was so insignificant that Machida Sonoko immediately smiled and said, "This is part of my job."

After all, the interests of both parties are highly related, and they will prosper together and suffer together.

"Besides, with Teacher Xia Mo's potential, maybe I will have to ask Teacher Xia Mo to take care of me in the future."

In the industry, it is not uncommon for a popular light writer to lead an editor.

So Machida Sonoko's tone was half serious and half joking, and her gaze was cast towards Yukinoshita Yukino who was standing beside her.

What are you looking at me doing?

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned and subconsciously looked at Xia Mo. Seeing the other party nodded, she nodded too.

"Ah."

The tone was full of Yukinoshita's coldness.

Machida Sonoko felt embarrassed when she heard this. Why did she seem reluctant?

Xia Mo was quite speechless and could only say, "As expected of Yukinoshita·Don't understand the atmosphere·Yukino."

"You've seen it too, Ms. Machida. Xia Mo-jun is not good at speaking. He is the typical person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you more in the future."

He spoke to ease the awkwardness.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him and looked away in disgust.

hypocritical!

Machida Sonoko saw this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh: "That's Ms. Yukinoshita, it must be very hard for her."

Xia Mo glanced at Xuexia and said, "It's okay. I'm quite happy."

Although Yukinoshita Cat is difficult to pet, it is indeed cute and fun.

But to Machida Sonoko it had a different meaning.

Love is enough to satisfy one's hunger. The girl is happy to give everything for her lover.

Is this the girl in love?

However, some people seem to be unaware of the blessings they have.

Machida Yuanzi glanced at the cold-looking "Xia Mo" and shook her head secretly.

If you don't seize the opportunity now to avoid thirty years of detour, it will be too late to regret it later.

"Ms. Machida, let's exchange contact information. If you have trouble communicating with Xia Mojun in the future, just come to me and I will help you solve it."

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino's relieved look, Machida Sonoko realized that Xia Mo's suggestion was very appropriate and immediately took out her cell phone.

The two exchanged contact information.

Then we talked about choosing an illustrator.

"It's up to you."

Yukinoshita Yukino took the initiative and put the blame on Xia Mo.

"How's Liuli-chan?"

Xia Mo pulled Gogen Ruri, who was in a daze beside him, to his side.

"Ah, me? What happened to me?"

Gogen Ruri was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

Machida Sonoko asked in confusion, "Which illustrator would Miss Gogen recommend?"

Xia Mo corrected: "It wasn't her who recommended her, it was me who recommended her."

Recommend me?

Illustrator?

Gogen Ruri's eyes slowly widened.

Machida Sonoko was sure she had heard correctly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Ms. Yukinoshita, are you kidding?"

"Obviously not."

Xia Mo shook his head and said, "Ms. Machida has seen Liuli's illustrations and praised them for being beautiful. Is there any problem with becoming the illustrator of "Naruto Biography"?"

The problem is huge.

It is not enough to just draw beautifully. The illustrator should also be famous so as to increase the popularity of the light novel.

Famous light novel writers may not care about this popularity, but it is very important for unknown newcomers.

How can we give it to Gogen Ruri who is not even a newcomer? It will affect sales.

"Forget it, Sister Yukino..."

Upon hearing that it would affect sales, Gogen Ruri immediately backed off.

She knew that her sister Yukino meant well, but she could not accept such kindness that was based on harming the interests of others.

However, before Machida Yuanzi could breathe a sigh of relief, Xia Mo asked Yukinoshita Yukino, "You actually need to take advantage of the illustrator's popularity. Are you so unconfident in what you write?"

I should cooperate with your performance...

For Gokou Ruri's sake, Yukinoshita Yukino said simply, "Gokou will be the illustrator."

Machida Sonoko was about to persuade him again.

Xia Mo encouraged: "Ms. Machida, believe in your own vision."

What do you mean?

If I continue to oppose it, would that mean I am admitting that I have poor vision?

Machida Sonoko hesitated for a moment, sighed deeply, and said with a wry smile: "Ms. Yukinoshita, if I had known I would not have accepted your invitation."

Obviously, she already understood the real reason for this treat.

Xia Mo smiled and said, "Next time I will treat Miss Machida to a big meal."

……

Leave the restaurant.

Machida Sonoko had work to do, so she said goodbye and left.

Gokuru Ruri was moved as she said words of thanks, but suddenly her face turned red, and she apologized and ran to the public toilet.

Xia Mo and Yukinoshita Yukino were waiting under a tree by the roadside.

"Why are you so nice to Gogen?"

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly spoke.

Xia Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? Your self-conceit is really ridiculous."

Yukinoshita Yukino mocked mercilessly and then continued with the previous question.

"So far, you have only met twice. You helped to give advice on the novel, helped to introduce editors, and finally insisted on letting Wu Geng become the illustrator of the novel, even at the cost of affecting the sales of the novel... You are so dedicated, what do you want? Are you..."

"good man?"

"Lolicon!"

"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?! I just get along well with Liuli, so what's wrong with helping her? It's just a piece of cake anyway..."

"Do you think the police will believe your lies?"

"Of course I will."

Xia Mo lifted her hair and chuckled, "Are you doubting me as a woman?"

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino was numb, and had been numb for a long time. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Tell me the truth, are you enjoying it?"

"Of course not, I was just joking with you."

"But don't you think gender jokes like this are too frequent?"

"This... is there a problem? It's just a joke."

"Think about it carefully. Is it really okay? Is it really just a joke? Maybe you have already thought in your subconscious mind that..."

"No way!"

In order to prevent the door to a new world from opening, Xia Mo interrupted Yukinoshita and asked, "Have you not decided on your wish yet?"

Yukinoshita Yukino said sincerely: "I hope you won't run away from your own heart. It's not a bad idea to bravely accept it."

You devil woman, you always try to lead me astray.

Xia Mo said expressionlessly: "I want to hit you now."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought thoughtfully, "Are you angry out of shame?"

Xia Mo rolled up his sleeves, and just then Wu Geng Liuli came back.

"Sister Xueno, what are you doing..."

"It's a little hot."

Xia Mo put down his sleeves and changed the subject: "What plans do you have for the afternoon?"

Gogen Ruri shook her head. She came to Tokyo just to submit an article and nothing else.

"I want to go to the amusement park. Liuli-chan, please come with me."

Gokou Ruri was about to say something but stopped herself. Xia Mo touched her head and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Together?"

"No, I'm going back to reading."

"Are you comfortable with me being alone with Liuli-chan?"

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled and said, "I was worried at first, but now I am relieved."

Xia Mo was shaking with anger: "You, you...I need to go to the bathroom!"

Yukinoshita Yukino's face changed drastically in an instant.
