Breathing in the faint fragrance emanating from Kasumigaoka Utaha and examining the soft, jade-like hand extended towards him, Lin Mu naturally took it.
"I'm Lin Mu, a first-year student. My pen name at Undead River Bunko is Twilight Sky. Nice to meet you, Utaha Kasumigaoka!"
He didn't use her surname but directly called her by her first name.
Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem to dislike it.
Instead, she tacitly accepted this intimate form of address.
After a brief handshake, Lin Mu released Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand.
After all, they had just met, and he couldn't appear too much like a pervert.
Utaha Kasumigaoka was the type of literary beauty who loved romance. To flirt with her, besides offering her practical help, he had to follow the routines in "love metronome."
After all, the female protagonist, Shayoujia, was Kasumigaoka Utaha herself.
After their initial introduction, Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips at him, "Junior Lin, how about we go sit over there?"
Her gaze fell on a flowerbed.
"Sure, I'd love to."
"For Utaha Kasumigaoka, who just rejected someone's confession, to invite me, a junior, I feel incredibly honored."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curved into a smile, and she took the lead.
The two sat together on the edge of the flowerbed. 943
Then, the beautiful Utaha Kasumigaoka's wine-red eyes fixed on him.
"Junior Lin, what do you think about the confession just now?"
Lin Mu stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and replied:
"It's clear that Sato-senpai really mustered all his courage to express his feelings to you, Utaha Kasumigaoka. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run away crying after being rejected."
"So why did you ask me to meet you here, allowing me to witness you rejecting someone?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha gave him a sidelong glance and casually replied.
"It was just a coincidence. Do you really think of me as a manipulative bad woman, Junior Lin?"
There was a hint of resentment in her words.
Lin Mu quickly waved his hands.
"How could I? If you've read my light novel, you'd know I've portrayed Tsukimi Miyabi as the best woman in the world."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curved slightly when she heard this.
She knew that Tsukimi Miyabi was Lin Mu's portrayal of her own image.
And her experiences were almost identical to hers.
The same long black hair, wearing black stockings, a white hairband, a stunning beauty.
(bdab)
She was also a genius light novel author who wrote a light novel titled "Pure Love One Hundred Percent."
In Lin Mu's book, Tsukimi Miyabi also faced difficulties in the second volume, facing the dilemma of her novel being cut short.
And the male protagonist, as a popular online blogger in the industry, even paid out of his own pocket to promote her, allowing her light novel to be successfully released.
Though pleased, Kasumigaoka Utaha outwardly showed a hint of playfulness, "Oh, really?"
She spoke softly with a clear, melodious, and magnetic voice.
"But why do I see you making Tsukimi Miyabi and that tsundere flat-chested twin-tailed young lady compete for the male protagonist in the book? Does this 'best woman in the world' also include Hoshino Nagi?"
Faced with Utaha Kasumigaoka's pointed words, Lin Mu let out a dry laugh and shamelessly said:
"This is only the first volume, right? Having two distinct female protagonists express themselves is also a way to enrich their characters. You must have seen the readers' comments below my account, Utaha Kasumigaoka; they're quite lively."
"One group says the male protagonist should choose Tsukimi Miyabi, and another group says he should choose Hoshino Nagi. This is a writing style specifically chosen to make the novel a bestseller."
"Anyway, I personally prefer Tsukimi Miyabi."
Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly, noncommittally.
She was confident in her charm.
If a man, when faced with her perfect figure and a flat-chested girl, chose the flat-chested girl, she would only think he had something seriously wrong with his head.
Someone like her wouldn't let her children starve in the future.
However, even though she was happy inside, she wouldn't easily show it.
Instead…
Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned forward slightly, staring at him.
Her well-filled school uniform, with her ample chest almost touching Lin Mu's.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's captivating fragrance and stunningly beautiful face were also very, very close to him.
"Junior Lin, you're not being honest. When you face Hoshino Nagi, do you also say she's the best woman in the world?"
"Uh... Utaha Kasumigaoka, why would you think that?"
Lin Mu subconsciously swallowed.
It wasn't that his willpower was weak, but Kasumigaoka Utaha, this woman, was deliberately leaning so close, practically inviting him to commit a crime.
She smelled so good.
Kasumigaoka Utaha tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate profile, and also sat up straight again.
Her delicate face had a faint blush, clearly indicating that she was still somewhat shy about using her physical advantages to boldly tempt her handsome junior.
"Because that's how you act in the novel, Junior Lin. Faced with the advances of two female protagonists, you keep wavering back and forth, indecisive."
"If you don't give a reasonable reason for one of them to become the 'loser,' a large group of readers will send you razor blades."
Lin Mu chuckled, "That's great! I can sell the razor blades for more money."
Kasumigaoka Utaha gave him a sidelong glance, "I'm serious. What are your thoughts on the Subsequent plot? Honestly, I don't understand why you can write such a stomach-churning plot."
"Yet, it makes people can't help but want to keep reading to find out what happens next."
Lin Mu shrugged and calmly replied.
"Perhaps I've seen similar plot developments in my dreams. Utaha Kasumigaoka, have you heard of White Album?"
"White Album? What's that?"
This world didn't have the anime or light novel "White Album," so Kasumigaoka Utaha was completely bewildered.
Lin Mu's lips curved into a smile, and he briefly recounted the story.
White Album, as it was called, was a stomach-churning story where the male protagonist in "White Album" wavered between two incredibly beautiful female protagonists.
Later, he affirmed the person he loved, but his already-dating girlfriend saw him kissing another woman.
Feeling betrayed, the girlfriend could only cry, "It was me first, why did you choose her?"
That was roughly the melodramatic, stomach-churning love triangle story.
After hearing it, Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze towards Lin Mu became strange.
"So, you're not going to make the male protagonist in your book treat Tsukimi Miyabi and Hoshino Nagi like that, are you?"
That phrase, "It was me first..." was filled with sadness and heaviness, representing the female protagonist's heartbreak.
So, this male protagonist was a scumbag!
Faced with two good women, he kept wavering back and forth, ultimately hurting both of them.
