I'm the heroine of a love game in a comic book

The next day, Tsukishiro Yukie and Akutagawa Ryunosuke arrived at the "Thought" publishing house as scheduled.

It was only then that Ryunosuke Akutagawa realized that "Monaki Kishi" was so popular that it had even been published as a collection of short stories.

Originally, Xuejian planned to come to the publishing house today to discuss specific matters.

In fact, I don’t think I’m a very good writer. It’s because the writers in this world are not doing their jobs properly, so I’m short but pretending to be tall. Xuejian said.

Mr. Toyoshima had not yet arrived at work, and the enthusiastic editor welcomed them into the reception room and served them tea and snacks.

After a few pleasantries, the editor finally asked cautiously, "Teacher Wen Qiu, have you really decided to stop writing? Not only us, but many readers and friends feel it is a pity. You can be said to be a representative writer of Thought Trends, and we all feel sorry for you."

"Double-toed" is not an enough word to describe how embarrassed Tsukishiro Yukie was when she heard others praising her writing skills in front of "Akutagawa Ryunosuke".

"Yes, I have made up my mind. I don't think I deserve everyone's praise. Rather than getting too much praise, I hope everyone will see me as a pioneer. I believe that more and more outstanding writers will become active in the future."

I beg you great writers who are not doing your jobs and only care about fighting, please move your hands and write some words.

Having said that, the editor can only express regret.

But the young editor quickly adjusted himself and enthusiastically invited them to visit the daily life of the editorial office.

Xuejian glanced at Akutagawa Ryunosuke who was feeling bored and readily agreed.

The editorial office is analyzing the manuscripts received after the call for articles for the last issue of the magazine.

The theme of the essay contest was simple: love. But for some reason, the editor-in-chief Toyoshima and Shio were not very satisfied with the essays, thinking that they were all third-rate works that complained without reason.

There are less than two weeks left before the next issue of the journal is published, and the rankings must be selected and announced, otherwise it would be fraudulent. However, Mr. Toyoshima insisted that these articles were not worthy of even a consolation prize.

Now the editors are all worried.

Xuejian also read a manuscript after listening to it. To be fair, this is an excellent love story, but does the theme of "Thoughts" magazine have anything to do with love? Xuejian felt that the theme of the essay contest might not be as simple as "love", and these essays did not grasp the deeper things.

"Humph, it's indeed a third-rate work."

Everyone looked in surprise. Akutagawa Ryunosuke was holding a few manuscripts in his hand. He looked at them for a few seconds and then put them aside to read another one. His expression became more and more unsightly.

"As the editors of Thought, it's ok for these writers who follow the crowd to not understand what the core of the magazine is, but don't you understand?"

"'Thoughts' is a weapon in the hands of ordinary people, a cry against the unfairness of Yokohama. 'Love' should only be a carrier for conveying this thought. The real content should be the helpless struggle of human beings buried under love, and the story should be based on the soil of Yokohama. These manuscripts are full of inexplicable love and meaningless things, which are extremely boring."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke threw his hand upwards, and the manuscript fell like snowflakes. "It's just a piece of waste paper. Don't read it anymore."

Tsukishiro Yukimi could no longer hold back, and rushed over to Akutagawa Ryunosuke, past the stunned crowd, and said excitedly, "Akutagawa-kun, are you interested--"

"Are you interested in writing an article, Akutagawa-kun?"

Someone said this first.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned and was about to retort, but he heard Xuejian say in surprise,

"Mr. Mori, Mr. Toyoshima, why are you here together?"

He turned around and saw Mori Ogai, Toyoshima and Shio coming together. Mr. Toyoshima looked at him with shining eyes and Mr. Mori was smiling. Alice beside him ran over first and hugged Yukian and acted coquettishly.

"Xuejian, I miss you so much. Do you miss Alice?"

=====

Four people and one special ability came to the editor-in-chief's office together.

This was the second time she had stepped into this place, but she felt much more relaxed than last time. Xuejian touched Alice's head. As soon as the child came in, she hugged her waist tightly, causing her to almost turn into a crab when she walked.

"Mr. Mori, Mr. Toyoshima." Xuejian greeted them first, then silently retreated behind Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

She really didn't know how to face Mori Ogai.

However, the reason why Mori Ogai appeared here today was probably because of Mr. Toyoshima's supernatural powers, and to make sure that he would not pose a threat to the Hong Kong gang. He had no time to pay attention to her.

Sure enough, Mori Ogai asked her a few casual questions like before and then left her aside.

But Alice's grip around her waist was getting tighter and tighter.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa's first reaction when he saw Mori Ogai was to kneel down on one knee and salute. After being stopped, he stood aside obediently. When he found that Yukimi was hiding behind him, he didn't understand why, but still covered her tightly.

Only Toyoshima and Shio seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere and spoke eagerly.

"Akutagawa-kun, are you interested in writing for our essay contest? I just heard your opinion outside, and it's exactly what I have in mind. I don't want a romance novel. Those guys don't understand the connotation of the magazine, they are not rooted in the original ecology of the magazine, and they are purely for the generous prize money. How can I give the prize to them?"

Mr. Toyoshima's words were sincere, but in the eyes of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, they were more terrifying than Mr. Dazai's ridicule.

"No need, I am really not up to the task."

He refused without a second thought. In Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes, the bloody mafia and the ink-soaked pens of the literati were irrelevant.

Besides, he is not very smart, and he has only been to school for a few years. He relied entirely on the Hong Kong black class to complete his compulsory education. He can hardly speak a few words, let alone write.

And what Akutagawa Ryunosuke suppressed deep in his heart and was unwilling to admit, he would sometimes feel a little inferior and self-loathing, which was equivalent to exposing his inner world for others to analyze, and he would never do such a thing.

But Xuejian didn't think so. She broke free from Alice's restraints, pulled Akutagawa Ryunosuke in front of her, and said with great care:

"How can you belittle yourself if you haven't done it? Akutagawa-kun, you were able to immediately think of the deep meaning of the theme of the essay contest and explain it clearly, which is enough to prove your sensitivity to words. You are also a reader of "Thoughts", so it's not easy for you to come up with something that fits the theme? The most important point is that you are a reader of Wen Qiuxishi, and someone I personally trained. I believe you can do it."

This is why Yukie Tsukishiro asked Ryunosuke Akutagawa to accompany her to the publishing house.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is a delicate and sensitive person, but he has nowhere to vent. If he keeps feeling depressed for a long time, it will be very detrimental to his health. Just like the young lady who wrote several books of essays, Xuejian thinks that Akutagawa Ryunosuke also needs to find a hobby to enlighten himself.

Writing is the best way to reveal one's thoughts and emotions, resonate with others, and get positive feedback. In the communication with editors and readers, one can gain many insights and no longer be trapped in the small world of Hong Kong gangs.

After all, Tsukishiro Yukie just wanted to give Akutagawa Ryunosuke a break from his suffocating life.

"I, can I really do this?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke was shaken.

"Really, I'm waiting for the magazine to publish your debut work."

Tsukishiro Yukimi said sincerely that it would be a waste of talent for a man named Akutagawa Ryunosuke not to write a book!

"Just think of it as something good for me. My health has been getting worse recently, so I announced that I would stop writing. If I could see someone embark on a literary career because of me, I would be very pleased."

Seeing that Akutagawa Ryunosuke was about to agree, Xuejian added fuel to the fire.

"Well, I'm also looking forward to Akutagawa-kun's work."

Xuejian glared at him and said, "Mr. Mori, why are you butting in?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was dizzy. How come I suddenly became talented in literature? Am I that great?

However, after seeing those "masterpieces" just now, he really had the idea that he could do the same.

He also wanted to explain his views on love. The book says that the desire to express is the motivation for writing.

Just to make the young lady happy, Akutagawa Ryunosuke thought so, so he said: "Then I will give it a try."
