"Literature is contemporary.

Someone once said to me, "You will always and only be a third-rate novelist."』

"Is she related to me?"

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko repeated the other party's question.

He looked at Yuan Xuan who was waiting for him on the sofa not far away. The girl was sitting quietly and well-behaved, like a child waiting for class, even her hands were well placed on her lap.

It was probably because Shibusawa Tatsuhiko still had a sense of gentleness when facing Yuan Xuan, so the editor-in-chief Kurata actually asked about the relationship between the two.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko smiled slightly.

"She is my sister."

Such an answer made Editor-in-Chief Kurata aware of a subtle sense of contradiction.In terms of appearance and temperament, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko and Yuan Xuan hardly have any similarities.

But in terms of dressing - in clothes and hairdos - there are many deliberately created commonalities.

This is a very strange pair of "brothers and sisters".

However, as an outsider, when asked to such an extent, Editor-in-Chief Kurata paused in due course.He returned to the matter of confirming publication.

Because Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is the owner of the publishing house, everything can be done according to his requirements. In addition, Yuan Xuan's lack of understanding of this matter gave them a lot of room to play.

But editor-in-chief Kurata has a worry.

"Sales after publication..."

"Sales are not important," Shibusawa Tatsuhiko said nonchalantly, "No matter how many copies are printed, people will buy them."

——No matter how much is printed, he can buy it.

Editor-in-Chief Kurata was completely impressed by such a horrifying rich man's speech.Now that the publishing industry is getting more and more depressed, even those well-known novelists who have won various awards cannot guarantee that their sales will be as ideal as expected after publishing a new book.

Even the editor-in-chief Kurata couldn't help feeling emotional.This is a sad step backwards for the literary world.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko didn't care about the psychological activities of editor-in-chief Kurata.Although he only needs to glance at it to know what the other party is thinking.

He only cared about Yuan Xuan's mood.This is one of the rare things that he can take to heart.

Among the boring and tedious things in the eyes of Shibusawa Ryuhiko, Yuan Xuan is particularly unique.

This made him suddenly ask something when the discussion was over and he was about to take Yuan Xuan home.

"If you look at it with your real eyes, what do you think of this novel?"

Such a tricky question made Editor-in-Chief Kurata extremely nervous.

He didn't know whether Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's so-called "true vision" was true or false. After hesitating for more than ten seconds, the editor-in-chief Kurata responded with the last professional ethics.

This is his last stubbornness.

"Very bad."

Childish writing, blunt plot processing...

Editor-in-chief Kurata used to be a very strict editor.If we look at it from his aesthetic point of view, many "novels" in bookstores today have no possibility of publication at all.

But "they" were accepted by the times.

"The biggest problem is not her own," said editor-in-chief Kurata. "Literature is time-sensitive, and the times will choose works and authors. Not any author can shine with the same brilliance in any era. There are many Gifted novelists were born in the wrong times."

Shibusawa Ryuhiko narrowed his eyes, but he didn't speak.

But the editor-in-chief Kurata felt a terrible pressure spreading from the opponent's body, making him almost break out in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, I still can't hear others say that her story is not good... If I knew this, I might as well continue acting and say, "Writing well, I will definitely become an excellent novelist in time." It couldn't be easier.

Even from the perspective of editor-in-chief Kurata, she would only be a third-rate novelist at best.

But unexpectedly, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko actually agreed with his statement.

"You're right that she doesn't have the talent to be a first-rate novelist."

Shibusawa Ryuhiko's expression was strangely calm, and there were weird fluctuations in his words.

"Her real talent is not in this kind of place."

After finishing speaking, he left behind the confused editor-in-chief Cangtian, and walked straight in front of Yuan Xuan.

Seeing him coming, Yuan Xuan, who knew nothing about the conversation between him and the editor-in-chief Kurata, stood up immediately, and subconsciously took his hand, and she held the young black-nailed fingers in her palm.

"Has it been discussed?"

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko nodded slightly, he stroked the top of her hair with his other hand, and said in a calm tone: "Let's go home together, Xuan."

It takes several months for a novel to be published until it is actually released. During this time, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko took back the original manuscript of the novel from the publishing house.

He didn't tell Yuan Xuan about this, just like he didn't tell her that he bought the manuscript of her first letter from the newspaper office.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko had a locked drawer where he kept the original manuscripts of his letters and novels.

It is because of his participation that Yuan Xuan's dream can become a reality in this world.In a way, it means they share that dream together.

This is the result of their joint efforts.

In Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's view, these manuscripts are very valuable for collection.

What's more - he seemed to be able to feel a strange power from these papers and between the lines.

This made him restless for a long time.

And during this waiting time, Yuan Xuan was not idle.

She began to try to get out of the room, but she was accompanied by Shibusawa Ryuhiko, because Shibusawa Ryuhiko told her, "Right now Yokohama is still very dangerous."

In the post-war period, various forces fought endlessly, and even the government and military police could not completely control the situation in Yokohama.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko protected her very well, which made Yuan Xuan never see a gun/weapon even though she lived in such a dangerous place.But while out for a walk, she picked up a bullet casing on the side of the street.

Yuan Xuan brought it home and put it on her desk.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was a little puzzled by this.

"War is cruel and terrible," Yuan Xuan said softly, "Even if it is over, the scars left in this world still make people suffer deeply."

Even after several years, in some places you can see people whose lives have been changed dramatically by the effects of war.

When she was going out, Yuan Xuan saw someone begging on the side of the road. The starving man tremblingly stretched out his hand towards her, and there was a pleading sound in his mouth.

Yuan Xuan was taken aback. When she stepped back, Ryuhiko Shibusawa firmly caught her, and he held her in his arms.

"Don't be afraid." Shibusawa Tatsuhiko pressed Yuan Xuan's cheek, and he told her, "I'm right by your side."

Such gentle comforting words made Yuanxuan relax all of a sudden, and it was at that moment that she had to face the fact that she had already relied too much on Shibusawa Ryuhiko.

Even though she didn't use words to admit that the other party was her "brother", deep down in her heart, she already regarded Shibusawa Tatsuhiko as a reassuring existence just like her brother.

This is a very sad thing.

But it's also a very lucky thing.

It is because of the existence of Tatsuhiko Shibusawa that Yuanxuan, who has arrived in this world, is not disturbed by physical suffering.

She should be grateful for that.

When leaving from the beggar, Yuan Xuan still couldn't bear it, she looked at Shibusawa Ryuhiko, before he could speak, he put something in the beggar's hand.

—is a jewel.

Yuan Xuan didn't know what happened to the beggar, but she vaguely realized that Shibusawa Ryuhiko treated her differently, so she mustered up the courage to face up to this matter.

"I'm luckier than anyone in this world."

Yuanxuan said to Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, "Because I met you."

Compared to the girl who was already a lot thinner when she was brought back, when she stood up, she almost reached Shibusawa Ryuhiko's chin.

When embracing her, he could no longer wrap her whole body in a large cloak like he did at the beginning.

When Yuanxuan said these words to him, Shibusawa Ryuhiko suddenly realized this - she had grown up.

But even so, she would still show a vulnerable and helpless look in front of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, staring at him as if the person in front of her was her whole world.

"I am very happy."

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko smiled slightly, and when he smiled, those red eyes would gently close, showing an astonishing beauty.

"Being able to see your happy appearance, no matter who I am, will definitely feel equal or even more happy."

What Shibusawa Tatsuhiko said made Yuan Xuan unable to understand him for a moment.

But he still said, "If one person can really obtain salvation from another person, then I must have obtained the salvation I want now."

Although a little unclear, Yuan Xuan could feel Shibusawa Ryuhiko's mood at the moment, and he did say such words from the bottom of his heart.

Then, she should be happy too.

After pouring out their inner feelings to each other, Yuanxuan decided to give Shibusawa Tatsuhiko a gift.

At first, she felt that she had nothing to give him, but now, Yuan Xuan's view has changed.

No expensive items are needed, no matter what she gives to the other party, as long as it is full of love, the recipient will feel happy.

So she sneaked out when Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was not at home, and Yuan Xuan was going to buy materials.

She wanted to knit him a scarf.

This was taught to her by her mother long ago when she was still alive.Knitting, sewing, and braiding, that beautiful but frail woman taught Yuanxuan how to survive.

After learning it, the first thing Yuan Xuan did was to knit a sweater for her brother.

Her workmanship was very poor at that time, many stitches were crooked, and the style of the sweater was not good-looking, but my brother liked this dress very much.

Because, "This is a gift from Aya."

The elder brother kissed her eyelids and said lovingly, "I feel very blessed to receive such a gift."
