Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

"My dear friend Hachiman, if it were you, you would surely understand me!"

Zaimokuza jumped up from his chair like a spring, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Hikigaya with shining eyes.

"First of all, why did this woman cry and beg to be the protagonist's wife after being rescued? Also, aren't there too many female protagonists? Is the protagonist a hero or a succubus?"

Zaimokuza received a critical hit.

"The battle scenes are hard to describe, but as for the plot, I only need to watch 1/4 to know what the other 3/4 is about."

Hikigaya smiled, then patted Zaimokuza's shoulder.

"Finally, tell me which novel you copied."

"This, this, this, how can what scholars do be called plagiarism? This is called borrowing, borrowing."

Zaimokuza explained with an awkward smile.

"You should explain these things to the judge after you go to court, but the prerequisite is that the book you wrote can be published."

Ever since Hikigaya met Su Qing, the other party often complained about him mercilessly in this way, and said strange things like "Our good friends on the mainland are all like this, this is the bond." Hikigaya gradually came to understand this "sincere" friendship.

Well, even though the other person always makes fun of me, I surprisingly don’t feel disgusted? I don’t know if I’ve become accustomed to it…

No, no, no, as expected, it was because after being ridiculed by Su Qing, little angel Caijia would come to comfort me!

Of course, Hikigaya had thought about sanctioning Su Qing, but who was Su Qing? How could he give Hikigaya such an opportunity?

And now, Hikigaya finally found a suitable opportunity to complain to others like this.

Zaimokuza? Although I really don't want to admit it, I know him, so it's okay to complain about him. Besides, this is a request, a request!

Hehe, but you know what, it's really interesting to see Zaimokuza's uncomfortable expression.

Wait, does Su Qing always look at me like this?!

The remaining ones who had not given their comments were Su Qing and Yuigahama Yui. Since Su Qing seemed to be lost in some thought at this moment, everyone turned their eyes to Yui first.

"Hey?!"

Yui had just read the third page at this time, and after sensing everyone's gaze, she realized that it was her turn to speak.

But... I really don't understand what he wrote! !

So, Yui had no choice but to speak weakly.

"Well, you know a lot of rare characters..."

The one who suffered the greatest critical damage after hearing these words was not Zaimokuza, but Hikigaya.

Who on earth said Yuigahama was gentle? How could she say such cold words in the weather over 30 degrees Celsius?

This short sentence may seem ordinary, but it is actually full of murderous intent.

There are so many uncommon characters = I can't understand what you wrote at all. In other words, it's just a bunch of crap.

It’s like you wrote an essay in modern Chinese, and someone praised your excellent knowledge of oracle bone literature, would you feel happy?

Qi Kexiu, how did Yuigahama learn such a concise and powerful high-level rant? Could it be that Su Qing was doing something behind my back?

Su Qing, huh? Come to think of it, how come Su Qing hasn't said a word since just now?

Everyone ignored Zaimokuza who was rolling on the ground due to a breakdown, and assumed that he was using his body to help the service club clean the floor. They turned their attention to Su Qing.

"Well, it's your turn."

Hikigaya poked Su Qing with his elbow, and the other party came out of his thinking state.

"What do you think after listening to what they said?"

Su Qing did not give his own evaluation, but looked at Zaimokuza and spoke lightly.

"what idea?"

"Well, do you want to write novels in the future?"

"of course!"

"Masochist?"

The one who was speaking was Yukinoshita. She now gave Zaimokuza another label besides "chuunibyou".

"No, I mean, even though I got a bad review, it's great that something I wrote based on my own interests can be read by others and finally evaluated, isn't it?"

"But we only read your novel because we accepted your commission. You have to understand that this kind of thing won't happen everywhere in the future."

"Of course I know! There will definitely be readers willing to read my novels in the future!"

"What if there are none, or only a few?"

"Even if that happens, I will persist. Writing novels is my passion!"

When Zaimokuza mentioned this, his blood boiled and he screamed with excitement.

"So are you going to become a full-time light novel writer in the future?"

Su Qing asked the last question.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, but I would if I could!"

Zaimokuza thought for a while and said without hesitation.

"understood."

Su Qing nodded, and then gave his own evaluation.

"The light novels you write are basically composed of unoriginal plots, clichéd characters, meaningless dialogues, and a confusing main plot.

To sum it up, it’s manure, or in layman’s terms, garbage.”

? ? ? ! ! !

This is too extreme and too straightforward, isn't it even more excessive than Yukinoshita, who is known for her sharp tongue?

Hikigaya and Yui looked at Su Qing at the same time, as if they were meeting him for the first time, while Yukinoshita also looked at Su Qing with a puzzled look.

“However, I can see your sincere emotions between the lines of your writing, which means that your passion is not garbage, but a masterpiece.

I have high hopes for you. Keep going. Maybe one day you can really write an exciting novel. Then I will definitely buy a copy."

Su Qing's tone suddenly became gentle and his smile became bright and sunny.

"Woo woo woo, I get it! I will definitely stick to it!"

Zaimokuza was originally shocked after listening to the first half of Su Qing's speech, but then there was a sudden turn of events. He never expected that Su Qing would give such a high evaluation!

Will I ever write an inspiring novel? Oh, I’m stoked!

"Thank you! Goodbye, I can't wait to get back to writing my new work!"

Zaimokuza stood up suddenly, raised his left hand to shoulder height, and gave a big thumbs up.

Then he left only a dashing back view to everyone.

After Zaimokuza left, Su Qing also stood up and walked to the window silently.

"How do you feel the love between the lines?"

Yukinoshita walked up to Su Qing and couldn't help asking. She often read books and thought she had a certain reading ability, but she read all night last night and couldn't feel any so-called passion.

Hikigaya also came over curiously. As the third best Japanese speaker, he naturally had a certain say, and he also wanted to know how this passion was seen.

And Yui is...

[Ahahaha, everyone has gone over, so I'll go over and take a look as well]

"I can't feel it. I'm just fooling him."

"?"

"6"

“╭(°A°)╮”

"What's the point of doing this?"

Yukinoshita didn't understand. If she wanted to improve her writing skills, she could only work hard to absorb those excellent literary works. Doing so would not help the other party.

"What's the use...let me think about it."

Su Qing was silent for a while, as if he was thinking, or as if he was sighing.

“You know, writing novels is a painful thing whether you’re doing it full-time or part-time, but it’s fine if you just do it for fun.

But if you start reading with a passionate attitude, you will find it difficult to continue reading other people's novels. Every day, apart from the time you write, you will always think about the next plot development of your own work from time to time, when you eat, when you sleep, and when you have free time.

In the long run, this love will only make you feel pain and torture.

Some people say that the best way to quit something is to do what you are addicted to.

If you like playing games, then become a professional player and play for more than ten hours a day, repeating it for a day, a month or even a year.

Late at night, you will lie on the bed powerlessly, and you will begin to question whether you really love it. Later, you will no longer think about this question, and you will just keep wanting to escape from it all. "

"Then why encourage him? He obviously has no talent for it."

Hikigaya asked doubtfully, and this time Yukinoshita did not refute the theory of talent. Zaimokuza's foundation had already destined him to have difficulty reaching the level of ordinary people.

Su Qing did not answer the question directly. Instead, he opened the window and stretched out a hand, then clenched it as if he had grabbed something and then took it back.

"What do you think I have in my hand?"

"It must be candy or flowers! I've seen this magic show!"

No need to think, I knew it was Yui.

"Is it the air?"

Although Hikigaya didn't know what Su Qing was doing, he gave a more reliable answer.

Su Qing didn't say anything, but just looked at Xueshita with a smile.

"Nothing at all."

Yukinoshita affirmed.

"Is there really nothing? Actually, I have learned a little magic."

Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Nothing."

Su Qing smiled, very happily. He spread out his hands, and there was indeed nothing in them.

“Did you know that in mathematics, infinitesimal is a process rather than a number. It approaches 0 infinitely but will never be 0.

Just as I reached out and grasped something, the three of you gave different answers, but I know that each of your first reactions was nothing, but the answer you said out loud was not this.

Even Yukinoshita, in the moment of hesitation, you already had the possibility that I was holding something in my palm.

This possibility always exists until I let go, what do you think? "

Although Yukinoshita wanted to refute and said that Su Qing had misled her, she finally nodded.

"People have a high tolerance for mistakes in their lives. From primary school to middle school, high school, and even college, their lives will not be ruined by a momentary failure.

In other words, until the final result comes out, no one can deny that Zaimokuza can become an excellent light novel writer.

But that process is bound to be tortuous and long, and one day, no matter how strong the passion is, it will be exhausted.

And at that time, we can only rely on these seemingly useless words to give our passion the last spark to keep going.

That’s what passion is all about.”

“What if I can’t hold on?”

This was the common question asked by all three people. Even Yui, who was clueless, reacted and became a little nervous at this moment.

"Then give up."

Su Qing shook his head and smiled silently.

"No matter what others say or do, the choice is always yours, isn't it?"

Under the window, one can see Zaimokuza has already walked out of the building, making some unknown gestures and exaggerated movements, as if he was setting up a barrier for the Service Club. After doing everything, Zaimokuza stood in place, rubbed his nose with his fingers, and looked at his masterpiece with his hands on his hips.

Su Qing and everyone else watched it all in silence.

Afterwards, the clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the sun finally showed a corner. A ray of sunlight shone directly on Su Qing, highlighting his clear outline and making him look somewhat sacred at the moment.

Su Qing whispered.

“The so-called self is running towards yourself through repeated choices.”

Su Qing turned around and looked at everyone, still smiling brightly.

"I am looking forward to your choices and what kind of person you will become in the end."
