Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Different Attitudes
After dinner, he said goodbye to Machida Sonoko and went back with Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nishiki Chizuka.
There were two of us when we came, and three of us when we left.
The two of them accompanied Shichen on his left and right, and Jinmu Chitose was holding his arm with a smile.
She was too proactive and took the initiative so unexpectedly that Shichen had no way of stopping her. It was definitely not because he coveted her soft embrace.
Of course, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't hug him, and she was a little distracted.
Her novel "Love Metronome" is basically confirmed to be released, but the time still needs to be planned.
Machida Sonoko will make plans in the next few days.
All Kasumigaoka Utaha needs to do is wait these few days. Of course, she also needs to prepare the content for the second volume.
If we are lucky and it sells well, we can release the second volume while the popularity is still high.
Looking forward to the bright future of her novel, Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind is full of thoughts about the plot of the second volume.
In fact, she did have some clues, thanks to the appearance of Nishiki Chitsugu.
"careful."
At this moment, Shi Chen suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side.
Kasumigaoka Utaha came to her senses in an instant, and her peripheral vision fell on the place where she was just now. A person happened to walk by, and she realized that she almost bumped into the passerby just now.
"Thanks..."
"What are you thinking about? You're so distracted." Shi Chen asked with amusement.
"About the second volume."
"Looks like...any ideas?"
"Yes, a little..." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Nishiki Chitsuko: "Thanks to someone."
"Huh? Why are you looking at me?" Jinmu Chitsugu was very sensitive to line of sight, so he tilted his head and asked her.
"She is thanking you." Shi Chen tried to smooth things over.
"Thank me? Not really?"
"Really, you also know that she is writing a novel, it seems that you found inspiration..."
At the end of the conversation, Shichen's colleagues frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Did Nishiki Chitose give inspiration to Kasumigaoka Utaha?
How to give inspiration?
Considering what happened today, is it possible that they are going to add a new heroine to engage in a plot of party fighting and Shura?
Isn't this just following the plot he knows?
But it was he who caused it.
I don't know whether I should be happy or not.
"Because I found inspiration? What type of novel do you write? Can I take a look?" Nishiki Chitsugu asked curiously.
"It's about young love." Kasumigaoka Utaha replied calmly.
"Young love? I'm very interested!" Jinmu Chitsu's eyes lit up.
Nishiki Chitsuko's sudden enthusiasm made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel a little uncomfortable, but since the other party wanted to read her novel, she was still willing to show her goodwill.
"Not for now, we have to wait until it's released... I can give you a copy then."
"Really? Thank you!"
"Um..."
The relationship between the two people suddenly seemed to be a little better. Shi Chen was happy in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
The three of them quickly arrived at the station, and along the way Shichen forgot to let go of Kasumigaoka Utaha's wrist.
Her wrists were relatively thin, but her skin was so delicate and smooth that he couldn't let go.
However, while waiting for the train, Kasumigaoka Utaha also discovered that her wrist was still held by Shichen. She turned her head to look at him and saw that he was looking straight ahead, as if he knew nothing.
It's obvious that he's just pretending.
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled gently, and considering that he had just helped her, she let him hold it for the time being.
Well, it's just the wrist, not holding hands, no problem.
Moreover, he is his first book fan , so he deserves some privileges.
The tram slowly pulled into the station. After the three got on, they saw no empty seats, so they had to stand. Fortunately, the tram was relatively empty.
However, because they were standing there, the three of them were a bit conspicuous. They were stared at all the way. Even well-mannered people could not help but stare at them.
Shichen could feel the envy, jealousy, and even inferiority contained in the gaze.
Alas, there is really no need to do so. Why should I compare myself with him?
There aren't many guys as handsome as him, so there's no need to ask for trouble.
Shi Chen only sighed in his heart but didn't show it on his face, as he didn't want anything to happen to the train.
Human jealousy is still very scary. It would be bad if it gets too intense.
After arriving safely at the station, Shi Chen took the two of them off and headed towards the coffee shop.
Of course, I can no longer hold Kasumigaoka Utaha's wrist.
On the way, Shi Chen told Jin Mu Qian Shu about his current situation, including opening a shop and having another person.
When it comes to Thor, Shichen gets a bit of a headache.
If you bring Nishiki Chitose home, you know for sure that Thor will be jealous, and he might even feel insecure and suspect that he is fickle.
How could he be such a greedy person and get bored with the old and love the new? He must like them all.
But he was not without a solution. The dragon maid was still easy to coax. It was just that he couldn't fool her this time.
"Brother Chen, doesn't Kasumigaoka live with you?" After listening to Shichen's story, Jinmu Chitsuku asked curiously.
"Not yet."
"What do you mean temporarily?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him.
"Ahem."
"What? You want me to live with you?"
"No, I just said it casually." Shi Chen quickly denied.
We really can't let Kasumigaoka Utaha live with them, otherwise life will be uneasy.
"Really not wanting to?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked back.
"Uh...are you really planning to live here?"
"It's not impossible. I live alone now, and I rent a house. Moving is not a big deal. I don't have to worry about eating, and I can come to the store anytime to calm down and write novels." Kasumigaoka Utaha replied indifferently, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Well...if you want, I have no problem with that. There are plenty of rooms." Shi Chen agreed with determination.
Come to think of it, it's a good thing. If Kasumigaoka Utaha moves in, he won't have to worry about sleeping with Thor every day. Someone will stop him then.
But what if Kasumigaoka Utaha becomes obsessed with writing novels?
Nishiki Chitsugu will also stop it, right?
"Haha~ I'm just kidding. I have no intention of moving for the time being." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled happily.
"..." Shi Chen rolled his eyes at her in annoyance.
"It's just as well that you don't move in." Nishiki Chitsuga said happily.
"Heh~ Don't be too happy too soon." Kasumigaoka Utaha sneered: "You can handle that dragon maid."
"Yeah?"
They quickly returned to the coffee shop and Shichen entered the store first, just in time to see Thor playing with his phone at the cash register.
"Lord Chen, you're back...who is she?" As soon as Thor saw Shi Chen, before he could even smile, he saw Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nishiki Chitose following in.
Kasumigaoka Utaha is an old acquaintance, but Nishiki Chitsuka immediately made her wary.
"Oh, let me introduce her to you." Shi Chen said with gritted teeth: "Her name is Jinmu Qianshu, she will live with us from now on, and will help the store with you."
"Huh?" Thor was stunned.
"Thor?"
"Master Chen..." Thor burst into tears and asked sobbingly, "Are you going to abandon me?"
Shi Chen slapped his head helplessly: "How is this possible!"
"Then why did you find another person to replace me?"
"I'm not replacing you. I'm sharing the work with you." Shi Chen explained patiently.
"But there's no need for that. I can handle everything by myself." Thor pouted, looking pitiful.
Shi Chen shook his head and laughed: "Really? You don't want to sit with me and chat or something?"
"Eh? This..." Thor had never thought about this situation, but he was very excited at this moment.
"...think."
"Isn't that fine?"
"But..."
"You are Thor, right?" Jinmu Chitose walked up to her, held her hand, and smiled.
"What are you doing?" Thor's expression changed and he looked at her warily.
"Don't you think we would get along well?"
"I don't think so..."
"Really? You like Brother Chen, right?"
"Brother Chen?" Thor frowned.
"Don't worry about it. You like Brother Chen, and I like Brother Chen too. What does this mean? We have similar interests! We have the same aesthetic taste! Isn't this something to be happy about?" Jinmu Qianshu said earnestly.
"What you said... seems to make some sense?" Thor blinked, his mind a little confused.
"Really? Since we are both good sisters who like Brother Chen, why can't we get along with each other?"
"Be friendly...you won't steal Master Chen from me?"
"Of course not! Let's take care of Brother Chen together!"
"Okay... okay." Thor agreed inexplicably.
This situation confused Shichen. Is Jinmu Qianshu so friendly?
"Hehe~" Jinmu Qianshu proudly made a scissors hand gesture to Shichen.
"Tsk~" Kasumigaoka Utaha walked towards her own exclusive seat unhappily.
"Xiazhiqiu, what are you doing?" Shichen asked.
Kasumigaoka Utaha did not reply to him.
"Kasumi Shiko?"
"Shiyu?"
"Shiyu?"
"Write a novel!"
Only then did Kasumigaoka Utaha turn around and glare at him.
