I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 647
At this moment, Li Yan had already searched several suspicious places. His coat and hair were stained with some water drops, and his shoes and trousers were already soaked. It was bitingly cold, and the hot breath he exhaled was one after another.
Standing on the side of this cold and wet street, Li Yan quickly activated the editing system. When he closed his eyes, the cold water droplets like snow flowed between his eyebrows. The continuous activation of the system for a long time also made him feel uncomfortable. He was quite tired.
In front of restaurants filled with steam and the aroma of wine, Li Yan kept passing by the crowds of people and looking around.
On this day, Li Yan experienced a period of hard-won joy, but suddenly encountered such sadness and confusion.
I have to say that this kind of street is like walking in the streets of memories. It is beautiful, yet calm, and it is a street that belongs to lonely people.
Bringing back the people who failed the list... This has happened before, and the protagonist was Li Yan himself.
Because he understood this feeling, Li Yan seemed a little anxious.
Just when Li Yan was anxious, the editing system in his consciousness suddenly sounded a prompt.
【Beep beep beep~~~】
"?!"
Li Yan's eyes changed, and this prompting sound jolted him to consciousness. He looked left and right in the black streets and white drizzle, trying to find Kasumigaoka Shiyu in this vast sea of people.
Under the street lights, a vast drizzle confuses the eyes of the seeker like a fog.
At this moment, the rain was a little light.
In the street like a rain alley, people were coming and going. Li Yan's eyes sharpened. Umbrellas and pedestrians were dazzled. The sound of pattering rain kept ringing in Li Yan's ears.
Suddenly, among the figures of a few passers-by, a wet figure stood out, silently passing by among the people walking.
In some dark streets, when the rain weakened, the originally wet female figure was able to walk in the rain. You can imagine how cold it would be to wear such wet clothes. However, in the dim Japanese street, she looks like a beautiful high school girl in old black and white photos, with cold raindrops on her cheeks and bangs.
"call……"
The girl exhaled, as if she couldn't bear the cold.
However, while enduring the cold, the rain disappeared.
"Um?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was slightly startled. He raised his head and took a look, only to see a crystal clear umbrella. She looked back with some surprise, and saw the figure standing behind her, his body immersed in the darkness and rain.
In this dark street, the situation of that figure was not much better than hers. The eyes that were a little too tired and deliberately showed seriousness were really not cute at all.
However, Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't expect him to appear here. She blinked her eyes and raised her head slightly to look at him. This was the first time she realized that this person was actually quite tall...
7:35 minutes.
At the bus stop by the river, two wet people sat on the seats.
After the heavy rain, the clear sound of rushing water kept coming from the ditches and rivers not far away that were overgrown with weeds. It was not a beautiful night. The surrounding houses with lights on seemed a little lonely and deserted.
If the editing system didn't have a certain positioning function, it would definitely not be an easy task to find a person in such a dimly lit and crowded rain lane street. Just as I turned my head, the peripheral vision of my eyes coincided with the editing system, so I didn't miss it.
"I almost missed it..." Li Yan looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu with a troubled expression and said.
After changing into a warmer coat, Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt a little more relaxed.
After wiping his cheeks and hair with a tissue, Kasumigaoka Shiyu sat quietly beside him without speaking.
Li Yan sat on the chair on the left side, quietly looking at the green weeds that were bent by the rain in the gap in the road. Finally, he turned his face to Kasumigaoka Shiyu and said, "What happened today?" I heard that you gave up your recommendation and failed to get admitted to the University of Tokyo..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was silent for a while, and said with a cold expression: "Really? Let me guess... maybe some otaku woman who draws food and books told you, right?"
Li Yan was already familiar with the communication method between Eiri and Kasumigaoka Shiu, and immediately continued expressionlessly: "Erin has been looking for you for four or five hours since this afternoon, and she was the first one to start looking for you. People. I really don’t understand whether you two hate each other or whether you are friends who have known each other for a long time..."
"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent. His expression seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't have any rebuttal.
The drizzle continued, and under the surrounding street lights, the crisp leaves continued to sway, and the ground seemed to be frozen, making it appear wet and cold.
Li Yan finally looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu seriously and asked: "So... Teacher Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly gave up the recommendation and was admitted to Tokyo University. What is the reason? Can you tell me?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu tightened her hands and lowered her head, as if in a defensive posture. She responded quietly and indifferently: "Don't ask, you won't understand."
"This matter is no longer a question of whether you can understand it. Teacher Xia Shizi, we are friends. This kind of thing involves not only you, but also everyone who cares about you. Now it is an important choice that affects your future. Even if It’s the price of our mutual help, and you have the obligation to tell me your plans, Teacher Kasumi Shiko.”
Li Yan had already expected that Kasumigaoka Shiyu with such a mentality would not obediently tell him the reason, so he quickly used an agreement-style reason to continue questioning.
Kasumigaoka Shiu thought for a while, closed her eyes, sighed slightly, and replied: "I just want to get into Tokyo University, that's all, so don't think too complicated."
Looking back, things about life counseling did not go smoothly.
"...What about the second chance to take the exam?"
Li Yan was silent for a moment, reluctantly compromised, and jumped directly to a more important question, asking.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu closed her eyes. After all, this was the question she least wanted to think about and answer.
"I will make the best choice for myself. Don't worry, Mr. Uesugi. I have thought about everything carefully and will not regret it..."
Just because you won’t regret it doesn’t mean it’s necessarily accurate…
Li Yan unfolded his trump card and said, "Next time, take the Waseda test. Don't take risks."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's body was shaken.
Her expression became complicated and sad again, and she said: "That's why I told you before, you wouldn't understand..."
"Even if I have already passed the exam, my chances of success are not high. It should be said that in the most competitive university, no one can guarantee that they will pass the exam smoothly, including you and me..."
Li Yan looked at Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu and tried to persuade her further. He could clearly see that Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's head was getting lower and lower and her hands were being held tighter and tighter. However, he still planned to persuade her and said, "Why do you want to do this all of a sudden?" Give up Waseda, why do you have to stick to Tokyo University? Haven't you always hoped to enter the university where Amakusa-senpai is studying?! I'm not interfering in your decision, but sometimes you can only try your best to strive for a future. Didn't I do the same in the past? Are you going to give up the finance major and plan to choose the science major and take the last retake exam at Waseda..."
"enough!!!!"
Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Shiyu covered her ears, lowered her head and shouted.
"...Teacher Kasumi Shiko."
Li Yan was suddenly startled. Looking at Kasumigaoka Shiyu's condition, he realized something was wrong.
It seems that Kasumigaoka Shiha was planning to take the Tokyo University exam for the second time, and did not consider taking the Waseda exam. But this time, the Tokyo University and Waseda exams were on the same day. That's why Eiri was so anxious, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to take the exam at both universities at the same time. It's not impossible.
This time it seems to be a choice between two, but it is more likely that Xia Shizi clearly has an excellent opportunity, but it turns into a dangerous and desperate situation for a failed student.
"Kasumi Shiko, be pragmatic. If you are absolutely sure to get admitted to Waseda, what on earth influenced your choice? An irrational choice is definitely not the right one... So, you must give up Tokyo University completely. "Li Yan calmed down and made a cruel suggestion.
However, this sentence completely stimulated Kasumigaoka Shiyu. She raised her head tremblingly and looked at Li Yan in surprise and sadness.
