Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

one year later.

Signed a contract with the publishing house, became an officially registered writer, and has a personal editor. Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who is famous in society and admired by countless people, has stepped into a peaceful and comfortable life.

The publishing house he signed was Alando, and the contract was free and superior.

However, the conditions given by other publishing houses are also lenient, and some of them are comparable to those given by Alando.And the main reason why Akutagawa chose this family without hesitation was because when he was negotiating with the other party, he happened to know the identity of the writer who had vouched for him from the mouth of the publishing house owner Maruyama Daisei.

——Natsume Soseki.

"That teacher appreciates your work very much! He is even willing to pay a special visit to me to pave the way for your first collection."

"[Ryunosuke Yanagawa will definitely become an unparalleled writer in the literary world in the future]... That's what Natsume-sensei said of you when he approached me."

When hearing these words, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's mind went blank.

who?Natsume Soseki?That...Mr. Natsume?

In this world, Mr. Natsume Soseki is still alive?

The heart vibrated in his chest like a drum, and the blood seemed to flow backwards along his limbs, making his pale complexion, which was only a boy's appearance, tinged with a blush from excitement.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who admired Natsume Soseki's works so much in literature and wanted to think about it, was easily abducted into their publishing house by Maruyama Daisei's editor-in-chief.

Just because Maruyama Daisei said:

"Ms. Natsume's whereabouts are a mystery. She is similar to you and doesn't show up very often. However, I have met that teacher recently. If you are willing to come to my publishing house, I can deliver the letter for you."

The sanhua cat watching from the side had dead fish eyes all the way.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who greatly admired Mr. Natsume in literature, immediately signed the contract.

Not long after, the news that the great writer Ryunosuke Yanagawa signed a contract with Alando Publishing House quickly spread to the society, and countless fans of Yanagawa were excited on the spot, calling the publishing house continuously, asking them to ask Mr. Yanagawa to show up, or to pass on Their post-reading impressions and gifts, etc., the media also appeared one after another, blocking the Alando Publishing House, and strongly urging them to reveal some personal information of Ryunosuke Yanagawa.

Editor-in-chief Maruyama Daisei called Akutagawa Ryunosuke in a state of desperation.

"If you reveal some personal information, you will accumulate more popularity."

Under the persuasion of my friend Oda Saku, I plan to work hard to adapt to the society, and then I will be an ordinary person until my sister is independent from her companions, and then leave with peace of mind, to find Akutagawa Ryunosuke who went to meet Mr. R in another world After spending a day thinking about it, I reluctantly agreed to the editor's request and leaked a little personal information.

"I didn't go to school, and I learned all my knowledge from books... As expected of Mr. Akutagawa, what are your hobbies? Ah, reading books, as expected of a great writer. My favorite author is Natsume Soseki, and my food preference is... Teriyaki Yellowtail, red bean paste, sweet things, I see, they are really gentle flavors.”

The editor assigned to Akutagawa by the publishing house is a gentle middle-aged man. He specially visited Akutagawa's old and small rental house, chatted with him, and asked some insignificant questions that could satisfy readers' curiosity. Every time he got an answer, he was very happy. Exaggerated praise.

This is the so-called life in the world.

It was also something that Akutagawa Ryunosuke was struggling with and struggling to deal with.

After the editor carefully recorded Mr. Akutagawa's answer, he coughed a few times and got down to business seriously:

"To tell you the truth, Akutagawa-sensei, I have other tasks here today, and editor-in-chief Maruyama asked me to bring you another piece of news... Excuse me, would you like to sell the right to adapt your article to a film and television company? "

"Adaptation rights?"

"Yes, the person in charge of a film and television company approached our publishing house immediately after learning that you had signed a contract with us, saying that he wanted to buy the adaptation rights of "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest" and make them into movies. The level of the film and television company is very high, each movie can get a high box office, and the quality is guaranteed, so we think this is a good way to further promote your reputation, teacher, and the rewards are not bad, We don't think there's any harm, so the editor-in-chief asked me to ask you what you think."

What can you think?

Although he was surprised that his short stories could also be adapted into movies, but facing the reality of life, Akutagawa Ryunosuke would not refuse an income.

So he agreed, but the condition was that in addition to the agreed remuneration, he also wanted to see the adapted script.

After all, it is his own work, Akutagawa Ryunosuke does not want his article to be adapted beyond recognition.

In short, this year, everything in life is moving in a smooth direction.

If you have to say something bad...

It's just that guy.

……

At night, Ryunosuke Akutagawa sat at his desk as usual and wrote something, occasionally a new article, and occasionally a letter to Mr. R and Mr. Natsume.Unlike the former who will never be able to send it and will never receive a reply, Mr. Natsume Soseki of the latter will write back to him.

The reply letter from Mr. Natsume was a rare thing that Akutagawa Ryunosuke could feel excited and happy in this world without Mr. R.

So happy that he was even willing to spend a lot of pen and ink writing him in the undeliverable letter to Mr. R.

Yin is doing homework on the sidelines. She is 15 years old and is only in the second year of junior high school. Because of the basic relationship, she is a year later than her peers who have already entered the third grade of junior high school.

In the quiet room, the brothers and sisters are doing their own things seriously.

suddenly.

knock knock.

There was a familiar and regular knocking sound from outside the window.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke kept writing, but Akutagawa Gin suddenly turned cold, and took out a utility knife from the drawer neatly.

"Good evening, Akutagawa-sensei!"

The upbeat tone of voice, and that handsome face.

Osamu Dazai, who was obviously not good at fighting, but insisted on trying to climb up to the second floor, broke open the window lock, rushed in, and took a few steps in the direction of Akutagawa.

whoosh-

Akutagawa Gin decisively threw a small knife at a perfect angle, brushed directly against Osamu Dazai's cheek, and firmly nailed it to the wall behind him.

"Oh, Xiaoyin, you're here today."

Waist-length hair, Akutagawa Gin, who is usually as gentle and charming as Yamato Nadeko, is wearing a white nightgown, staring at the uninvited "guest" with a piercingly cold gaze.

"good evening."

Even though he was threatened with a utility knife wiped on his face, Dazai Osamu's smile didn't change at all, and he even greeted Silver familiarly.

It is indeed time to be familiar with it.

After all, in the past year, this guy has climbed through windows countless times at night.

From being vigilant as if facing a big enemy at the beginning, to turning a blind eye afterwards.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was really helpless towards this friend of a friend. Although his identity was too sensitive, the person named Osamu Dazai had never done anything to Akutagawa Ryunosuke's life in the past year.

As Oda said, Osamu Dazai is just a fan of his own works.

When the two get along, they just chat, and then Dazai pesters him to read the new manuscript like a baby—of course, he refuses without exception. For some reason, after confirming that the person in front of him is his fanatic book fan, Handing over the newly completed manuscript to the other party for viewing becomes an unspeakable matter.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is not good at dealing with other people's love for him.

Dazai Osamu's high praise for Akutagawa's works, in a way, also put pressure on Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Although he is no longer worried that Osamu Dazai will pose a threat to him, it does not mean that Ryunosuke Akutagawa can put down his guard and accept the existence of the other party.

Perhaps it was too heavily polluted in the mafia environment, or perhaps it was the profound influence brought about by the unknown past, the way Osamu Dazai treated himself was too abnormal and too unacceptable.

Either climb up the window at night, and then excitedly and childishly drag him to chat for an hour, or use absolutely shameless means, forcefully encounter myself three or four times on the road during the day, and then find countless reasons to trick him to Lupine, Chatting and drinking with Odasaku and occasionally another man named Yasugo Sakaguchi.

Osamu Dazai is a complex existence that is difficult to be loved by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and difficult to be hated by him.

Aside from his troublesome identity and the methods that made him reflexively loathe him, Osamu Dazai still has countless gloom and darkness, his beautiful iris-colored eyes are almost empty, and he can't find any meaning of existence. For Osamu Dazai, it was just a long sentence of hell.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke seemed to see the shadow of his past like a walking dead.

An unlovely shadow.

——However, he couldn't hate it.

Although he has a black mud-like essence, Osamu Dazai is surprisingly pure.

It's funny, right?He is obviously a mafia cadre who has killed countless people, and there are more bones piled up under his feet than he used to be a killer. Conspiracies and tricks emerge one after another, and he even breaks out in the mafia. The fact that he is the enemy of that Dazai Osamu] is a fearsome reputation.

However, Akutagawa Ryunosuke thinks that the other party is a pure person.

Childish and pure.

Then I always like to ask myself all kinds of questions.

"Mr. Akutagawa, why do humans have to live?"

"do not know."

"Hey, don't even Akutagawa-sensei know—"

"This question, I can't answer you, because living is also a puzzle that I can't find the answer to."

"Why should I live? What is the meaning of existence? My teacher below never told me the answer."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke thought for a while, and then said, "The teacher told me to go down and find it myself, so I was confused, staggered aimlessly in the mud, and kept moving forward to find the meaning of my own existence. , but so far, nothing has been achieved.”

"However, if we talk about the motivation to live, I probably still have it."

"I am a particularly bad existence, unable to live alone. Therefore, my sister, teacher, and companions, until the day they no longer need me, I will still work hard to continue this meaningless life go down."

Osamu Dazai muttered indistinctly: "Hey, Akutagawa-sensei lives for others, but I can't do it at all. I actually have a lot of love, but there will be a day for things I don't want to lose. It will still leave me, and the things I want to pursue even at the expense of prolonging my painful life will not exist in the end, so it is too difficult for me to live for others."

"You don't lack feelings, so Dazai-kun, you are just a coward."

Akutagawa replied calmly, "It's just because I'm afraid that my heart will be hurt, so I can't help but avoid it even when it's as soft as cotton."

Osamu Dazai's expression froze for a moment, and seemed to be blank for a moment.

After a while, he laughed.

"Oh, as expected of Akutagawa-sensei... coward, maybe it is true."

Dazai shrugged, "Thinking about it this way, maybe it's because Akutagawa-sensei will never really let go of his guard against me, so I can express my feelings for you so unscrupulously."

This young mafioso, with fluffy and soft black hair like a sheep, said in a gentle and yearning tone, with great sincerity:

"I admire you very much."

It was said in such a tone.

Therefore, no matter how hard Akutagawa Ryunosuke can't see the other party climbing the window, forcibly encountering him, or getting too close, he can't really hate this person.

But not being disgusted is one thing.

Liking is another matter.

As Osamu Dazai said, Akutagawa will never really let go of his guard.

Because of the other party's nature, Akutagawa is destined not to treat him like he treats his friend Oda Saku.

The current Dazai is not a trustworthy existence.
