The train was packed with students wearing all kinds of school uniforms.
This line passed through several high schools, so during school rush hour, the number of students far exceeded regular passengers.
The carriage doors opened.
Yukimura Suzune stepped inside.
She had long, straight black hair and a cool, refined aura.
She wore the Private Gekko Academy uniform, and the space between her skirt and black stockings outlined an eye-catching “absolute territory.”
Most of the boys in the carriage couldn’t help but glance sideways, inwardly marveling at Yukimura Suzune’s outstanding looks and presence.
The girls mostly narrowed their eyes and sized her up with appraising looks.
Yukimura Suzune was lucky—someone got off right after she boarded.
She smoothly took the seat and pulled a literary book from her bag, quietly flipping through it.
Seeing her focused on the book, the surrounding gazes quickly lessened.
Only a few boys kept stealing glances.
Before long.
The train slowly pulled into the next station.
With a slight hum of the brakes, the doors slid open to both sides.
Natsume Chikei walked in.
The moment he stepped inside.
The air seemed to freeze for an instant.
Whether boys or girls, everyone’s eyes were involuntarily drawn to him.
A difficult-to-describe sense of amazement flashed through their hearts.
He was wearing the same ordinary summer school uniform—simple shirt, tie, and slacks—yet on him it looked completely different from the other boys from the same school in the carriage.
He somehow gave off the vibe of a top-tier male model.
Natsume Chikei’s mind was entirely on his phone.
When he saw someone stand up, he naturally sat down next to Yukimura Suzune and continued typing on his phone.
Even after he sat, quite a few people in the carriage were still staring.
The boys were murmuring:
“This guy’s also wearing the Private Gekko Academy uniform.
Is he a new student like us?”
“Probably a senpai.
His presence doesn’t feel like a freshman’s at all.”
“Does this senpai feel like some kind of model?”
“Probably, yeah.”
The girls were also whispering among themselves.
Quite a few were even pushing each other, egging one another on to go talk to him.
“That guy is totally my type!”
“Too bad he’s wearing the Private Gekko Academy uniform.
He’s not from our school…” Get faster updates on g.com.
“So what?
Our schools are only one or two stops apart.
Meeting up after school wouldn’t be a hassle at all.”
Meanwhile, Yukimura Suzune, who had been quietly reading.
Ever since she was little, because of her appearance and her family’s famous literary background, she had long grown used to people’s stares.
Plus, she had recently won a literary newcomer award and even appeared on TV.
Sometimes when she was out walking, people would even come up and ask for her autograph.
Even so, today’s stares really were a bit too intense…
Yukimura Suzune glanced around and noticed that quite a few people—both guys and girls—were looking in her direction.
She couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.
For now, she closed the literary book in her hands, took out her earphones from her pocket, and put them on.
Once the world became much quieter, Yukimura Suzune was about to reopen the book in her hands.
But at that moment, she noticed two girls walking toward her with shy and nervous expressions, staring straight at her.
Seeing this, Yukimura Suzune assumed she had probably been recognized.
If it were boys approaching, it might not necessarily be for an autograph—more often than not it would be them trying to hit on her.
But if it were girls approaching, it was almost always to ask for her autograph.
Without exception!
“Um…” One of the girls spoke first.
Yukimura Suzune, already used to this, instinctively reached into her bag for the fountain pen she usually used for signing.
“I’ve been watching you ever since you got on the train…” the rather cute-looking girl asked shyly, “Could I have your contact information?”
Yukimura Suzune was stunned.
What was going on?
This girl wasn’t here for an autograph—she was asking for her contact info?
Was she into girls?
But Yukimura Suzune had no interest in that sort of thing…
“Uh… this.” The usually cool Yukimura Suzune found herself a little flustered in this situation.
For a moment, she couldn’t think of a way to refuse.
The other girl spoke up, her eyes shining as she asked, “Um, me too!”
“Huh?”
Yukimura Suzune froze in place.
She never expected this girl to be into girls too?
Were high school girls these days really this bold?
They were already a couple and still inviting her to join?
But she really wasn’t that kind of girl!
Could it be that something in her novels had hinted at this?
All the literary works she wrote were perfectly proper.
There weren’t any yuri scenes at all!
While Yukimura Suzune was feeling troubled.
The two girls had already shyly held out their phones… right in front of the boy sitting next to Yukimura Suzune.
Witnessing this scene, Yukimura Suzune stood there in a daze.
A visible blush of embarrassment spread across her cool face.
She pressed her lips tightly together and immediately turned to look at the boy beside her.
The moment she saw Natsume Chikei’s profile, she fell silent.
She finally understood why today’s stares had been especially obvious.
“Sorry…” Natsume Chikei shook his head and politely refused.
After hearing the rejection, the two girls left dejectedly.
Natsume Chikei watched their departing figures and felt a bit helpless inside as well.
It wasn’t like he was completely against finding a girlfriend.
It was just that the massive upheaval in his family had left him with no mental space for that kind of thing right now.
For him these days, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were all problems that required a lot of money.
If he were alone, he could probably scrimp and save in many places and tough it out without much issue.
But right now he still had a little sister with him!
Starting from nothing while taking care of his sister, living in a bad place, eating cheap food—if he didn’t work his hardest, next month’s rent would already be a problem, let alone next semester’s tuition.
Under this kind of enormous survival pressure, he genuinely had no interest in romance.
Compared to finding a girlfriend, Natsume Chikei’s mind was completely occupied with making money right now.
At that moment.
Natsume Chikei noticed an extremely conspicuous gaze coming from beside him and turned his head to look.
When his eyes met Yukimura Suzune’s.
Compared to her cool beauty, his gaze was instantly drawn to the small ink bottle pendant hanging from her school bag.
[Literary Small Ornament]
[Quality: White] (White < Blue < Green < Purple < Gold)
[Effect: The scenes and characters you write will be slightly more vividly reflected in readers’ minds.]
[Description: How should I write this part… —A certain literary girl biting on her pen.]
The moment he saw this piece of equipment, Natsume Chikei couldn’t help but feel delighted—this was exactly what he needed most right now!
He was currently writing The Devotion of Suspect X.
If he had this Literary Small Ornament, it would definitely take this already destined-to-be-bestselling novel to the next level!
He wanted it.
He wanted it very badly!
However, after noticing that Natsume Chikei’s gaze had landed on her, Yukimura Suzune paused slightly.
She narrowed her eyes and shot him a faintly annoyed look before turning her head away.
She put away her fountain pen, turned on her phone’s music and navigation alerts so she wouldn’t miss her stop.
Then she turned slightly to the side and refocused her attention on the literary book in her hands.
