Chapter 143 Shiori's Trance
“That’s probably what it means.”
At the dinner table, Sawayama Haruno had already told Mine Shiori everything he wanted to ask her to do.
After taking out his cell phone, he looked at the other person inquiringly.
"A detailed inspection?"
Noticing Sawayama Haruno's unabashed gaze, Mine Shiori's face became a little troubled.
She whispered, "Although I have read a lot of literary works, I cannot guarantee that I have a deep understanding of this aspect."
"It's better than my understanding when I was rushing to finish the work, right?" Zeshan Haruno looked at her helplessly and whispered, "I have to finish all the manuscripts in the next week, but I can't refuse to go to school and other social activities. It's hard to spare more time to check it again."
"Is this so"
Mine Shiori was a little conflicted.
What the other party said makes sense.
After all, how can you write a book without checking it? And this is not a light novel. Now I am writing a literary work. Going back to check and revise it is something almost every writer will do.
If the purpose is to catch up with the progress, it is indeed difficult for Sawayama Haruno to spare extra time. After all, checking requires more effort than typing.
Checking requires careful reading of each word and thinking about the appropriateness of the words used, which can be said to be very troublesome.
After all, ordinary readers only need to read through the book, but for writers who want to be published, even the slightest flaw cannot be tolerated.
Feeling the slightly expectant gaze of Sawayama Haruno, Mine Shiori's heart softened a lot.
Plus, she has recently been working hard in this direction.
It doesn’t seem to be impossible, right?
"I, I know."
Finally, Mine Shiori gritted her teeth and agreed: "Then I will help Haruno check, but I can't guarantee how well I can check."
Woo.
She felt that she was really unsure because she had been too busy recently.
I have to balance my university studies, tutor Suguha, prepare for my future major and career, and now I have to help Haruno check novels.
Just thinking about it, it feels like someone is whipping you constantly to make you work faster?
But this time I really couldn't feel the great pleasure. Mine Shiori couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Hearing the petite girl's answer, Sawayama Haruno breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Just take a look, it's a great help."
The most difficult part has been solved now. Next he just needs to focus on writing and updating.
"Haruno, do you have the document in your phone now?"
Mine Shiori said weakly: "I want to take a look now."
Since you have agreed to it, you might as well watch it sooner.
Anyway, she has been looking forward to the other party's work for a long time.
"Of course, I can, but it seems a bit slow to send via mobile phone." Zeshan Haruno handed his mobile phone to the other party and said casually, "Can you use my mobile phone to take a look first? I will send it to you on the computer when I get back, okay?"
“That’s no problem.”
Mine Shiori carefully took the other person's phone.
The documents inside have already been opened, and have been thoughtfully entered into reading mode using other software.
The current word count seems to have reached half of the novel. Mine Shiori glanced at the word count display below and saw that it was around 110,000.
"How amazing!" she was surprised.
How much progress did he make last week? How come he wrote so much in such a short time?
No wonder the other party is worried about their own quality issues and wants to find someone to help check.
Normal writing cannot be completed within a month, let alone within two weeks.
Thinking of this, Mine Shiori swallowed her saliva and suddenly lost confidence in what Sawayama Haruno wrote.
Of course, it doesn’t affect the viewing process, it’s just a little worrying.
The title of the book is "Norwegian Wood". She knew this because Haruno Sawayama had told her about it before.
However, I have never heard him tell the content of the story. All I know is the spoiler he gave when he came to visit my home last time.
Analyzing from that sentence, it is not difficult to see that it is a healing love work, that is to say, the main tone should still be inclined towards relaxation, right?
With all these thoughts in mind, Mine Shiori began reading.
However, it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, but once she did, she couldn't take her eyes away.
Time at the table began to pass little by little again, and the meals ordered by the three people had already been prepared and served.
However, it was obvious that Mine Shiori's mind was not on the food she ordered. She tightly grasped Sawayama Haruno's cell phone, and her attention was all on the book. As for the meal, she just ate a few bites absent-mindedly.
I have to stare at that phone even when I eat. Are the novels written by Haruno really that good?
Looking at Mine Shiori's appearance, Ayano Yui became a little suspicious.
She couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If she had known this would happen, she should have sat next to her brother in the library just now. Maybe she could have secretly taken a few glances at what he was writing.
Damn it, this thieving cat has gotten there first.
Unlike Ayano Yui who was depressed, Sawayama Haruno seemed much more relaxed.
He focused on eating. After all, he had been using his brain for the whole morning and his body was in urgent need of nutrients. What's more, the food in this restaurant was indeed very good. At least he was satisfied with the meal.
By the time Sawayama Haruno and Ayano Yui had finished their meals, the plate in front of Mine Shiori still hadn't been touched.
The petite girl was obviously immersed in the world of the novel. Even when Sawayama Haruno tried to persuade her softly, she could only respond with "hmm" and "ah" and told Haruno not to worry about her.
Seeing this, Sawayama Haruno felt helpless and had to call the waiter to take away all the plates that he and Ayano Yui had finished eating.
Then he waited patiently by the side.
He had just noticed that Mine Shiori was most likely speed reading at the moment, and the time she would take to finish reading the 110,000 words would not be too far away.
In that case, let's wait until the other party has finished reading it. He can afford to wait that little bit of time.
About ten minutes later, Mine Shiori came back to her senses in a daze.
"what"
Looking at the empty seat next to her, she uttered a puzzled sound.
"I went to the bathroom."
Ayano Yui, who was sitting opposite, crossed her arms and said listlessly, "He just left not long ago."
"Ah sorry"
Seeing that Haruno's sister seemed very impatient, Mine Shiori opened her mouth and said a little embarrassedly: "I accidentally got addicted to it, sorry."
