Chapter 326 Miyazawa Mana's Troubles
The exposure of the vest was far more serious than Sawayama Haruno had imagined.
Although Morikawa Riho contacted the blogger who broke the news immediately and asked him to delete all the posts and photos, the speed of the Internet spread far exceeded their expectations, and many people have taken screenshots and saved them.
All updates with tags related to "Norwegian Wood" or "Foggy Mountains and Winter Sea" mentioned several photos in the explosive incident without exception.
Although it did not have much impact on Sawayama Haruno in the short term, the other girls around him were definitely affected.
For example, a girl who is still in Tokyo.
Inside a music cafe in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.
Mana Miyazawa pushed open the glass door and walked in. After quietly asking the front desk clerk about the location of the private room, she quickly arrived at her destination.
When she pushed the door open again, a group of her good friends from high school appeared inside.
"Mana!"
A girl sitting closest to the door stood up with some surprise.
She had fashionable short curly hair and a cheerful smile on her face, like a cute Chihuahua. When she saw Miyazawa Mana coming in, she went up to her and hugged her without hesitation.
"Woo woo, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much."
"Lianmei, long time no see. When did you return home?"
Miyazawa Mana subconsciously supported the other person, patted his back slowly to comfort him, and asked softly: "Why didn't you tell me that you returned to China?"
This was a classmate she had been very close to in high school, but he transferred to a school abroad in his third grade.
Although they come back every year, it is difficult for them to find an opportunity to get together again.
Even the last class reunion, he was unable to attend.
"She came back a few days ago."
Seeing that Miyazawa Mana was a little confused, the other girls sitting in the private room smiled and explained to Ishida Reimi: "She said she was going back to her country to celebrate Christmas, and since we haven't played together for a long time, she asked you to come out too, Mana."
"Yeah."
Miyazawa Mana smiled gently.
There weren't many girls in the private room, only about five or six, but most of them were focusing on Miyazawa Mana.
After all, with outstanding looks, good character and academic performance, and a gentle personality, such a person is very popular wherever he goes.
They had just sat down and chatted for a short while when a casual remark from a girl next to them suddenly made the originally cheerful room fall silent.
"By the way, is Mana still in contact with Sawayama-san?"
As soon as these words came out, the girls in the private room looked at each other in surprise.
Miyazawa Mana was stunned where she stood.
"Why are you asking about other people's private affairs for no reason? You are very nosy." Reimi Ishida turned around and said to the girl in pretended anger.
"Sorry sorry."
The girl she mentioned immediately clasped her hands together and explained apologetically: "I am a little curious. After all, everyone thought you would get back together in college."
Mana Miyazawa and Haruno Sawayama broke up in their third year of high school. Although everyone knew it, not many people actually took it to heart. After all, they were admitted to the same university in the end, and most people still felt that the chances of them getting back together were very high.
"Stop talking, Aoi."
At this time, someone who knew the situation pulled the girl's sleeve and explained in a low voice: "Last time, Zeshan said that he was dating Miyazawa Maki."
"Oh, really?"
The girl was shocked and immediately swallowed back the words she was about to ask.
She was also one of the few people who did not attend the class reunion, so she had no idea what happened at the time. After all, the fact that Sawayama Haruno suddenly started dating the twin sister sounded like a fairy tale if it were told to others.
"It's ok"
Miyazawa Mana came back to her senses a little.
"You want to ask about Haruno, right?"
She paused and said softly, "Recently, many people in the university have asked me about him. It seems that someone told others that he and I graduated from the same high school."
She has been asked this question quite a few times in school these days. If it weren't for the "hoodwinker" Kamimura Lingcai who would help her out from time to time, she might have been troubled for several days in a row.
But there is nothing that can be done. The popularity of this book itself has remained high. A few days ago, before public opinion had completely exploded, it was suddenly reported that "Norwegian Wood" had been selected for the National Library's collection. Even the University of Tokyo's own library was stuffed with more than a dozen Haruno's novels.
All these changes made the people around him extremely curious about Sawayama Haruno. After learning that Miyazawa Mana had a relationship with him, they would of course chase him and ask him a few questions. Boys might not dare to ask because of face, but girls don't have so many taboos. Moreover, Miyazawa Mana usually has a good relationship with the girls in the class, so everyone doesn't hesitate to ask her.
It can be said that Miyazawa Mana has been completely surrounded by all kinds of voices related to "Sawayama Haruno" these days.
So when the high school classmate in front of her simply mentioned Haruno's name, she quickly guessed what the other person was going to say.
"Eh"
After hearing what Miyazawa Mana said, the girl felt even more embarrassed.
"I'm sorry." She stuck out her tongue, a little ashamed, "I didn't expect that one of my high school classmates would become a famous person, so I wanted to ask you out of curiosity."
"fine."
Miyazawa Mana smiled gently and said generously: "It's not something that can't be said. Most of you already know it anyway."
She paused, then added, "I really haven't been in touch with Haruno much, because my sister is dating him about books, and I only know the general situation, but not much. I didn't expect him to become so famous."
"Yes, yes."
Seeing that Miyazawa Mana didn't seem to be very angry, the other girls quickly jumped out to smooth things over.
"Sawayama-san is amazing. He is the same age as us, but he is already a great writer."
A girl said with some envy: "Great, is this a student from Tokyo University?"
"Normal Tokyo University students can't do this." Ishida Reimi couldn't help but look at her again and said, "The University of Tokyo enrolls 3,000 students a year, but there aren't many who can publish a novel and win an award, right?"
She was a little surprised at Sawayama Haruno's sudden fame, and even more surprised was that Mana's sister was actually with him.
Although she admired Sawayama Haruno's talent very much, Reimi Ishida felt a little disgusted by such things in his private life.
After all, she definitely still supports her friends, so Haruno's relationship with Maki is a betrayal of Mana in her eyes.
In contrast, Miyazawa Mana didn't have such an idea. She noticed the curious looks of the other girls in the room and said helplessly, "Don't look at me. I don't know much about Haruno's situation either."
"Have you read that book, Mana?"
A girl with big wavy hair and delicate light makeup suddenly asked, "I feel that Zeshan-san is somewhat similar to the male protagonist in the book?"
Her tone was very tactful, but almost everyone present had read the book, so when she said this, everyone quickly understood that what she really meant was to ask whether Mana and Maki corresponded to the heroines in the book.
For a moment, the private room fell into an eerie silence.
Miyazawa Mana couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
“It’s a bit similar.”
Finally, she responded in a low voice: "That's why you can write so well, right?"
".Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Seeing that something seemed wrong, Reimi Ishida clapped her hands to draw attention.
She pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Isn't this a gathering for girls? Why do we have to keep discussing Zeshan-san?"
"Yeah, let's play some games."
Another girl seized the opportunity and took out a board game box from the drawer.
Just like that, the seemingly awkward atmosphere disappeared in an instant, but it was impossible to know what everyone was thinking.
Mana Miyazawa also joined the game, but after playing a few rounds, she sat aside and started eating snacks, looking a little absent-minded.
She knew exactly what these people wanted to hear from her.
Although they find this behavior annoying, curiosity is part of human nature, and they don't have any ill intentions, they just want to know what celebrities are like.
As expected, once a person becomes famous, he or she will attract all kinds of unnecessary troubles.
In this situation, can I still get Haruno back?
Everyone already knows that Maki is Haruno's girlfriend, which means that he has become the intruder now.
Even without this group of high school classmates, Haruno would still be under constant public attention. What would he do if the affair between him and the twins was exposed?
Although the island nation is very tolerant of literary masters, Haruno is still in the early stages of his debut and is still on the rise.
He still has a long way to go before he can become a literary giant. After all, he has not won many domestic literary awards. If he wants to rely on his talent to make everyone tolerate him, he will have to wait for some time.
What if during this waiting period, Haruno's private life is exposed?
This incident is already a lesson for us. The other party was caught off guard by the fact that he was a student at the University of Tokyo, and even some things about his high school days were spread wildly on the Internet.
Even if it doesn't have much impact on Haruno, the ending may be different for the sensitive Miyazawa Maki.
Thinking of this, Miyazawa Mana's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.
