"Hmm?" Yushan Heren's tone suddenly became a little subtle.
"What's wrong, Yushan?" Kato Megumi put down her phone and looked at Yushan and others.
"Nothing, I just saw two people I didn't want to see." Yushan Heren turned his head.
Chapter 63 Book signing event
"As expected, I knew that you, Yushan-san, would definitely come to the book signing event. After all, Yushan-san and I are both the most loyal fans of "Love Metronome"!"
"Cough, cough, cough." Yushan Kazuto was a little choked and could only cough a few times, hoping that Aki Tomoya could understand his hint.
Kato Megumi's eyes wandered between the two of them, and no one knew what she was thinking.
[I should have thought of this earlier. How could Tomoya Aki, a loyal fan of "Love Metronome", not come to the book signing event? ]
"You guys know each other? Why don't you line up in front of us?"
Zaimokuza Yoshiki was cramming his knowledge about "Love Metronome" at this time, and just wanted to have more time to cram, so he took the initiative to give up his seat.
"Ah, thank you so much. I'm a loyal fan of Kasumi Shiko, and I really want to get her autograph as soon as possible!" Aki Tomoya hurriedly thanked and stood happily behind Yushan Kazuto.
"Why don't you take first place?" Yushan Kazuto always felt a little dangerous when letting Aki Tomoya stand behind him.
"That won't do, Yushan-san. Your passion for 'Love Metronome' is no less than mine! I can't bear to, and I can't, take away your position as the number one fan!"
Tomoya Aki's voice was so loud that it echoed throughout half of the venue. Many people glanced at him, smiled knowingly, and gave him approving looks.
If Kato Megumi hadn't been right next to him, Hayama Kazuto might have punched Aki Tomoya and sent him to the emergency room.
[Should I hit the temple or the Baihui acupoint? It would be best if I could send him to the second dimension he loves the most with one punch. ]
A graceful figure danced past, her steps were heavy and her eyes were blurred, as if she was a little lost. When she saw Yushan and others, there was a bit of surprise in her eyes and she stopped.
[What's going on? Is Heqi-kun my reader? ]
Yushan Kazuto noticed a gaze and turned his head, just in time to see Kasumigaoka Utaha who seemed to be lost in thought.
[It's over. Murphy's Law has been perfectly verified. The two people I least want to see have appeared.]
Looking at the confused and sad expression of Yushan Kazuto, Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head and quickened her pace.
[Are you going to cut in line again? ]
Yushan Kazuto still remembers the scene when they first met. Kasumigaoka Utaha walked by him at a high speed with her head lowered...
"Hello, Ms. Xia Shizi, after you check in here by scanning your face, the signing event can begin." The staff said kindly.
When he saw Kasumigaoka Utaha sitting in front of the autograph booth, Yushan Kazuto was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Mr. Yushan, Ms. Kasumi Shiko is indeed a beautiful female writer!" Tomoya Aki's tone was extremely excited.
"Hey, this book was actually written by a senior." Kato Emi's eyes flickered and she said lightly.
"Indeed, incredible."
Kazuto Hayama thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha was a die-hard reader of "Love Metronome", but he didn't expect that she was actually the author of "Love Metronome"!
"Dear book lovers, the signing event has already started, you can go over." The staff member came forward and reminded kindly.
Yushan Kazuto looked at Kato Megumi helplessly and said, "Let's go over there."
"Yeah." Kato Megumi lowered her head again and started fiddling with her cell phone.
"I never thought that you, Heqi-kun, are my reader." The two sat opposite each other in silence for a few seconds, and then Kasumigaoka Utaha finally spoke.
"I should have thought of it earlier. Senior sister, you are the author of this book." Yushan Kazuto felt that he had really made a mistake this time. He actually came to participate in this stupid book signing event. He was like Shi Lezhi's reincarnation!
"What senior? Hey, is teacher Kasumigaoka Utaha the senior of our school?" Aki Tomoya adjusted his glasses and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha seriously.
"Hey, eh, you're not, you're not the second-year Kasumigaoka..."
"Amai-san, please don't shout out Kasumi Shiko-sensei's real name in public. It will only make people think you are a rude guy."
Kato Megumi didn't look up and spoke in a flat tone.
Seeing the slightly reproachful look in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes, Aki Tomoya had no choice but to give up.
"Waki-kun, Kato, I didn't expect that you would be the first ones to come and support me at the book signing event today."
Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lip. Although she was prepared for the lack of popularity, she still felt a little depressed that there were only five fans coming to such a large booth.
"Because it's relatively close, it only takes less than half an hour to get here."
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know whether what Hayama Kazuto said was a comfort or something else, so she just took it as a comfort.
"Teacher Xia Shizi, can you help us sign our names quickly? I see the book lovers behind us can't wait any longer."
All Yushan Kazuto wants now is to escape from the encirclement of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Aki Tomoya as soon as possible, otherwise he will always feel like he is being attacked from both sides.
Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her head and saw that two of the three people in the back row were looking down at their phones, while the remaining one, Tomoya Aki's gaze was so intense that she felt a little dangerous.
"Let's chat for a while. There aren't many people here anyway. Based on the relationship between Heqi-kun and me, he should give me some face, right?" Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile.
Yushan Kazuto glanced at Kato Megumi with an inexplicable sense of guilt, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kato Megumi was still playing with her mobile phone with her head down.
Seeing Yushan Kazuto's actions, Kasumigaoka Utaha also turned her attention to Kato Megumi: "I don't know if Kato,
What do you think of my book? "
"Huh?" Kato Megumi raised her head, wondering why Kasumigaoka Utaha was paying attention to her.
"I think it's very interesting. After Yushan lent me the book, I read it all in one go!"
[You finished reading it in one go? Then, what's with that cherry blossom bookmark? ]
"Thank you. I'm glad to hear you praise this work for being so empty that it can be read in one go."
Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to be making fun of herself, but it also sounded like she was being sarcastic. Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but frowned and glanced at Kato Megumi out of the corner of his eye.
"Huh? I didn't say that." Kato Megumi blinked and lowered her head again.
"What about Heqi-kun? What do you think of him? Is he still worthy of your approval?"
"I think it's pretty good too. I read it every night before going to bed." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Really? I didn't expect that Kazuki-kun would like this kind of empty love? Could it be that Kazuki-kun is also in love?"
"It's hard to say. I just think this book is good for helping you sleep. Teacher Xia Shizi, I believe you can become an excellent master of sleep-aiding books."
Yushan Kazuto said calmly.
"No, that's not the case! Teacher Kasumi Shiko! Yushan, he loves "Love Metronome" the most!"
Chapter 64: Substituting one thing for another
Tomoya Aki's voice was loud, and Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her head and looked at him with some confusion.
He lowered his head, took a long breath, then took three steps forward and placed his hands on the table of the autograph booth.
"Teacher Kasumi Shiko, Yushan is a person who doesn't know how to express himself! Although he loves "Love Metronome" very much and admires Teacher Kasumi Shiko very much, he can't open his mouth! After all, Yushan is a tsundere!"
Yushan Kazuto looked at Aki Tomoya in astonishment. When did I become a tsundere? Please don't add any settings to me at will, okay? Author, can you add a setting for Long Aotian who can commit a legal crime? Let me send him to his favorite second dimension, okay?
Kato Keiya looked at Yushan Kazuto with some suspicion in his eyes.
"Tsundere?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Hayama Kazuto and recalled the scenes of her several encounters with Hayama Kazuto. It seemed to be quite fitting.
"Wait a moment, listen to me..." Yushan Heren wanted to interrupt the two people's irrelevant conversation.
"Mr. Yushan, I will convey your feelings to teacher Kasumi Shiko in full! So, please, don't interrupt me!" Aki Tomoya turned his head and said loudly.
"Ms. Kasumi Shiko, could you please sign for me quickly? I feel like I need to go."
Yushan Kazuto wanted to stand up, but was held down by Kato Megumi: "Yushan, listen to what Amaki-san has to say."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Aki Tomoya warily, her body pressed against the back of the chair.
"I found out that it was a coincidence that Kazuto Hayama liked "Love Metronome." Tomoya Aki breathed a sigh of relief.
[It’s quite a coincidence indeed… No, I don’t like “Love Metronome” at all! ]
"If it wasn't for that day when Sayuka suddenly appeared in front of me, I would have found it hard to believe that Yushan-san was actually my friend."
"Wait a moment, this person is called Amaki, right? Sayuka is just a character, how did she appear in front of you?" The look in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes when she looked at Amaki Tomoya was as if she was looking at a fool.
"A poster! That's the one with beautiful printing and very rare quantity. Each store only has ten copies of the first release commemorating Sayuka's poster!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha felt relieved and secretly glanced at Yushan Kazuto. She found Yushan Kazuto's expression of despair quite interesting.
"Sayuka's posters are very rare and in great demand. I went to more than 20 bookstores but couldn't find any."
"Thanks for your hard work……"
"No, my hard work is nothing compared to Yushan-san's! Yushan-san has been to more bookstores than I have! After all, Yushan-san has collected more than one poster of Sayuka!"
Hearing this, Yushan Kazuto almost burst out laughing. Didn't I just go to a bookstore and buy a copy of "Love Metronome"? That store was too small and couldn't give away all the posters!
"Kato, you know." Yushan Kazuto looked at Kato Megumi.
"Ah."
"After meeting Sayuka, I was itching to find out. After searching on the map on my phone for several hours, I finally found a little-known bookstore that had the first-runner status."
"But there were so many people who liked Sayuka that I couldn't find anything even in a small shop like that. Just when I was about to leave the bookstore, I actually ran into Yushan-san!"
"At first I felt a little angry. After all, Yushan-san already had Sayuka, but he still wanted to possess another Sayuka! But soon I felt relieved. After all, this is Yushan-san's great love for Sayuka, for Love Metronome, and for Teacher Kasumi Shiko!"
Aki Tomoya spoke passionately, his eyes were sparkling, and he was completely immersed in his own fantasy world.
Yushan Kazuto touched his forehead, smiled bitterly, and didn't know what to say.
"After I found out that Yushan and I were in the same boat, I secretly started observing Yushan."
"I consider myself a big fan of Love Metronome, but compared to Yushan-san, I'm still far inferior!"
Aki Tomoya had already fallen into madness, and a hint of determination flashed across his face.
"According to my secret observation, Yushan has read the first episode of "Love Metronome" more than 20 times! I once saw Yushan secretly crying while reading "Love Metronome"!"
[It was just artistic processing before, but now it's nonsense?! Are you making something up, or are you just greedy? ]
Kazuto Hayama didn't know that Tomoya Aki was trying to replace one thing with another. He grafted his own experience onto Kazuto Hayama.
"He, he has read it so many times?" There was disbelief in Kasumigaoka Utaha's beautiful eyes.
"No more, no less!" said Aki Tomoya firmly.
"I think it's because Kasumi Shiko's story is so fascinating that Yushan can't put it down again and again!"
"I was so moved by Naoto's efforts for Sayuka at the end of the story...but I was really worried that they subtly missed each other's feelings. I think Yushan-san couldn't help himself when he saw this!"
Yushan Kazuto was completely numb. Now, he just wanted to see how far Amami Tomoya could go in talking nonsense.
"..."
"But as for Sayuka, it may not be polite for me to say this, but at first I couldn't relate to her, and some of her ideas were hard for me to accept."
"But after I read it about five times, it all made sense. I should say, hey, she's a person who has that kind of mental journey!"
"After rereading it like that,
You will find many links. Maybe it’s just that I’m not capable enough, but I think the content is very profound and worth savoring. ”
"But he's still far behind Yushan! Yushan is very smart and is the top student in the grade! I think he has probably memorized the whole book!"
[Good fellow, you actually guessed it right...]
"It's just that Yushan-san is a person who says one thing and means another... Even though he is crazy about "Love Metronome", he won't express it. He will only silently and wholeheartedly support the work, and also support Kasumi Shiko-sensei!"
"I think this is unfair, and it may cause harm to Yushan and Kasumi! Yushan, please forgive me for speaking your mind. I just want to help you convey your feelings and enthusiasm to Kasumi!"
Tomoya Aki finally finished his long monologue and looked a little tired.
Yushan Kazuto stood up and said, "Teacher Kasumi Shiko, please sign for us quickly. Kato and I are ready to leave."
"Heqi-kun, I didn't expect you to be such a person, such an interesting person..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Yushan Kazuto, took out two copies of "Love Metronome", wrote a line on each of them, then took out two small gifts and gave them to the two of them.
"Eh? Yushan, are you leaving? Yukinoshita-san will be here soon!"
