Chapter 585

"That's also true."

Yukimura Suzune listened and didn't say anything more, just stated plainly:

"Anyway, regarding the 'Seven Mysteries of the Old School Building' literary publication yesterday, with the materials given by the physics teacher, the progress has been pushed forward very quickly, and it's almost all organized."

"There's nothing special in the club today either. Fujiwara-san will probably return to the Track and Field Club for training."

"Since that's the case, then suit yourself."

Xiyuanji Xiyuanji Qilai turned to Yukimura Suzune with a sweet smile:

"It seems that in the Collection Club today, it's just the two of us."

"I recently discovered a very interesting foreign literary work; let's read it together then?"

Yukimura Suzune nodded gently:

"Mm."

Just then, two female students from another class walked to Yukimura Suzune's seat somewhat shyly, holding a book in their hands, and requested in a low voice:

"Yukimura-san... can you please give me an autograph?"

"I, I want one too..."

Yukimura Suzune, who was always cold, was slightly startled, but she had always been relatively gentle toward her readers.

She took out a fountain pen from her pencil case and skillfully and fluently signed her name on the title page of the book.

The two girls got the autograph, and joyful smiles immediately bloomed on their faces:

"Thank you! Please continue to write better works; I will always support you!"

"Me too!"

A rare, faint smile flashed across Yukimura Suzune's cold face, and she nodded gently:

"Thank you, I will."

Watching the two girls leave, Xiyuanji Xiyuanji Qilai said happily:

"Suzune's fans are getting more and more numerous."

"Now in school, there are quite a few classmates who take the initiative to come to you for autographs, right?"

"But this is also a matter of course; your 'Cicada Time Rain' is written so well."

Yukimura Suzune was a bit embarrassed by being said so, coughed lightly, and looked away:

"Is that so... I didn't pay much attention."

Xiyuanji Xiyuanji Qilai suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at Natsume Chikage, and asked curiously:

"By the way, Natsume-kun, have you read Suzune's novel 'Cicada Time Rain'?"

Yukimura Suzune heard this and also immediately turned her head, her gaze falling on Natsume Chikage.

Although she didn't speak, the slightly narrowed eyes and the posture of waiting for an answer brought an invisible subtle pressure.

Natsume Chikage indeed hadn't read it yet, and didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time.

If he were asked about details and couldn't answer, it would be awkward.

He coughed twice and answered honestly:

"I've been busy working lately and haven't had a chance to read it..."

Yukimura Suzune's eyes narrowed even more, and her eyebrows raised slightly:

"Oh—is that so."

Xiyuanji Xiyuanji Qilai saw this, smiled, took a copy of "Cicada Time Rain" from her schoolbag, and handed it to Natsume Chikage.

"Natsume-kun, this novel of Suzune's is really very good."

"Club activities aren't busy lately; when you have time, you can read it."

Natsume Chikage didn't refuse.

Anyway, his "Snow Country" was almost finished, and his free time would increase afterward, so reading a book wouldn't be bad.

"Mm, I will find time to finish it."

Yukimura Suzune actually wanted to hand one of her books over too, but seeing that Xiyuanji Xiyuanji Qilai had already given one, she suppressed this thought...

However, watching Natsume Chikage take the book, she couldn't help but feel a faint expectation in her heart, curious about what kind of thoughts he would have after finishing it.
