Chapter 270 I like you, just like a bear who likes spring "Something happened, right? During the trip, your companions had a quarrel?" Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly. "It should be better after two days of calmness. It's not convenient for me to handle it right now." "Yeah." Mine Shiori seemed to be thinking about something. Could it be that Suguha and Haruno had a quarrel? She began to speculate in her mind. After all, Suguha went back to Tokyo first, which seemed a bit strange no matter how you looked at it. It just so happens that I don't have to go to internship or go back to school tomorrow, so I might as well find a chance to go to Suguha's house. In addition to Sawayama Haruno's matter, she also had other matters to discuss with Ezaki Suguha, probably related to her academic content.
After all, Suguha Esaki plans to use her expertise in kendo to apply for university, and she needs some advice from others. When Shiori Mine was a tutor at the Esaki family, she had collected a lot of information about universities in the past two years. Maybe it will be able to help Ezaki Suguha with her studies at that time. "Let's not talk about this for now." Zeshan Haruno took the coffee drink handed over by the waiter, took a sip and said helplessly: "This morning, the teacher at school sent me another message, asking me to find a new final group." "Haruno, abandoned by the previous team members?" "No, I deliberately withdrew myself before going on this trip." Sawayama Haruno explained somewhat depressedly: "Because the final topic selection started very early, I had no time to communicate with my classmates. In order not to drag them down, I took the initiative to withdraw." "So this time I want to ask Shiori, what is the content of your final project? You also completed it alone, right? If it is convenient, I will choose a topic similar to yours." "The final exam question?" Mine Shiori immediately understood what the other party meant, but was also confused. The other party should have free time in the next few days. After all, they are back from their trip after just a few days, and they seem to have a lot of free time afterwards. I guess Haruno doesn't want to face the punishment of having to make up the credits all over again next year. But unfortunately, she seemed unable to help the other party in this matter. "Sorry, although I am alone now, my situation is a bit special." Mine Shiori pursed her lips and explained in a low voice: "The content of my final project was specifically discussed with me by the teacher. Since I have started my internship, the teacher told me to write a work report or something and hand it in after knowing it." The extremely simple final project was almost like free credits for Shiori Mine. Because the work report is very easy to solve, all you have to do is take some of your own work experience and your work experience, and turn it into a document and hand it over to the teacher. Compared to the tasks that other students have to complete, it is so easy. Of course, this is also related to the content of Mine Shiori's work. After all, if she has to balance her studies and go out for an internship, the workload cannot increase too much. What's more, the company where Mine Shiori is interning now is a good choice even among Tokyo University students, so the teacher will not make things too difficult for her.
But on the other hand, Sawayama Haruno is a little different. This guy took two long vacations in a row. The first time was understandable, but the second time was purely for going out to have fun. What's more, his attendance rate is not very high during normal times, so it is hard to say whether the teacher will show leniency to him in the final exam. Of course, maybe the problem can be solved by throwing away the book you wrote. It seems that I have to go back and talk to the school leaders, Sawayama Haruno thought. He didn't want to fail the course and have to retake it. "I see. I'll think about it myself later." Sawayama Haruno put his hands on his face and said with a helpless smile: "If it doesn't work, just tell the teacher about the book." "I thought Haruno was planning on keeping it a secret." Mine Shiori gave him a faint smile. "You deliberately used another name because you didn't intend to reveal your real identity from the beginning, right?" "That's about right. I don't mean to show off." Sawayama Haruno shrugged helplessly, "But I can't just watch myself fail my final project right now. I just hope the teacher will be soft-hearted and let me pass for the sake of the book." "It should be fine. After all, Haruno writes so well." Mine Shiori said shyly, "Actually, I've been going to the bookstore to have a look after get off work these past few days." "Eh? To see my sales?" Sawayama Haruno was suddenly a little surprised. Would Mine Shiori actually go out of her way to make several trips for something that he himself doesn't care about? But it's also true that this book took her a lot of effort. It was with the help of Mine Shiori who helped her revise it that she was able to complete the entire work so quickly. What's more, this book helped her get out of the shadow of high school and has special meaning. Perhaps it was because of these reasons that she went to observe the sales of books. "Just take a look." Mine Shiori pinched the hem of her clothes and said in an inexplicable tone: "To be honest, it feels very strange to see someone else buy Haruno's book." "What does it feel like?" When she said that, Sawayama Haruno suddenly became curious. "It's just that I'm happy because other people also agree with what I like." Mine Shiori glanced at him with a guilty look, then quickly lowered her head and whispered, "But after being happy, I feel a little lost." "Something that I think is very precious will gradually become known to the public, and I don't know how others will view it, so I feel a little worried and lost. It's probably the same feeling as possessiveness." It’s like the niche music that I’ve always liked suddenly becomes popular one day, and can be heard everywhere, and is filled with people’s comments about it. While being happy, you will inevitably feel lost, and even make yourself unwilling to listen to this song again. If it is in the current situation, combined with her special feelings for Haruno. It's like watching "Haruno, who was originally only liked by me", suddenly being liked by more and more people, and I can't stop it. It's a wonderful feeling, as if I had eaten a whole slice of lemon with a bitter aroma. "Possessiveness?"
Sawayama Haruno didn't realize at all that Mine Shiori had begun to imagine a scenario where she was the victim, and thought that she was simply feeling a little lost because her spiritual sustenance had become well-known. So after pondering for a moment, he said casually: "If that's the case, then I'll add another foreshadowing in the next book." "Foreshadowing?" "Well, for example, write some secret codes that only Shiori and I can understand?" Zeshan Haruno spread his hands and said with a smile: "Add a person's name or a place's name, or a code name?" "Why don't we just insert a sentence in there? It won't take many words anyway, and when people read it, they will just think it's commonplace and just glance over it, but only the two of us will know the true meaning of that sentence. How do you think?" “Is this okay?” Mine Shiori's face flushed instantly. What Zeshan Haruno said hit her heart completely, but because it might affect the content of the book, she was still a little entangled and asked in a low voice: "Will it seem far-fetched and nonsensical? It would be bad if it destroyed the beauty of the text." "A sentence of only ten words can destroy any beauty." Sawayama Haruno said nonchalantly: "Sometimes you just have to be a little casual to show the charm of words, right?" In fact, he has a criminal record. In "Norwegian Wood", there is a foreshadowing that others cannot notice at all. No. To be precise, that is not called a criminal record, because that is part of the original book. This foreshadowing is also related to the nickname Mana uses on social media platforms - Winnie. The reason for this nickname is that Sawayama Haruno once gave her a Winnie the Pooh doll. In "Norwegian Wood", there is also a dialogue in the original book: You are walking alone in a spring field, and a cute little bear is walking towards you. It is precisely because there are always some matching points that Sawayama Haruno was able to maintain a constant state of inspiration when writing this book, and completed it much faster than expected. Whether it is the spring field that corresponds to my name, or the cute little bear that corresponds to the gift I gave. Even the sentence before this paragraph, "Bears who like spring", can correspond to each other. But if an ordinary person reads it, they would probably just think that this sentence is beautifully described and just pass it by. Miyazawa Mana is the person most likely to understand the meaning. It’s a pity that this Shura Field dispute happened too quickly, and I didn’t have time to ask the other party whether he had figured it out. Sawayama Haruno took a sip of coffee and his eyes unconsciously drifted to the window. The other party should be at home now, and I don’t know what’s going on with him. At the other end of Shinjuku District, Tokyo, in a detached villa. Miyazawa Mana was lying on her bed, half of it uncovered and then covered on the table beside her. Surprisingly, it was the book that Sawayama Haruno had given her. But now, she obviously didn't have the mood to continue watching. "Haruno." The girl hugged the Winnie the Pooh doll tightly, curled up in the quilt and murmured something that sounded almost like a dream.
In the buffet restaurant of the Macau Hotel, what Ayano Yui once said is still like an indelible nightmare, always lingering in her mind, making her constantly confused and start to doubt whether her previous thoughts were right or wrong. "Will my humility really hurt Haruno?" Thinking of this, Miyazawa Mana's eyes dimmed a lot. But if she doesn't give in, the one who will get hurt will definitely be the more vulnerable Maki. What should I do? (End of this chapter)
