After deciding to give up, I became popular

“Ugh…”

A strange noise came from inside the door, followed by a clattering sound, before returning to silence.

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Xia Chuanzou had to give up asking.

“I'm coming in…”

027. Genius Illustrator Eriri Spencer Sawamura!

“Excuse me…”

Opening the door, Xia Chuanzou immediately saw Eriri Spencer Sawamura with disheveled hair, slumped on the ground.

A large number of clothes were scattered on the floor, and she was clutching a red dress tightly in her hand.

The bear pajamas she was wearing were quite cute, but the unbuttoned buttons on her chest made Xia Chuanzou unable to look closely.

“Buttons…” Xia Chuanzou turned his head, pointed with his finger, and reminded her, “Ahem, your buttons are undone…”

After seeing this, Xia Chuanzou deeply understood a truth—Eriri Spencer Sawamura was not completely flat, but a valley with a groove! She could even handle 5 Kaguyas! So there was no need to worry about future children going hungry.

“Huh?” Eriri Spencer Sawamura looked blank.

Just a second ago, she was thinking about how to explain her current state to Xia Chuanzou, but the next second, she was attracted by his sudden turn and words.

So she looked in the direction Xia Chuanzou was pointing, saw the two unbuttoned buttons on her chest, and the eagerness that was trying to break free…

“!”

In an instant, her fair and delicate face flushed red, wisps of steam vaguely rose from the top of her head, and her pupils lost their luster as her brain crashed.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura unit, unable to restart!

Seeing that Eriri Spencer Sawamura was showing signs of losing consciousness, Xia Chuanzou quickly stepped forward to support her.

“Calm down, Eriri Spencer Sawamura! I, I didn't see anything! Really! My attention was all, all on the clothes! I didn't see anything else!”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chuanzou wanted to slap himself twice.

What kind of explanation was that? It was a pure self-reveal!

However, to his surprise, Eriri Spencer Sawamura regained some consciousness after hearing this.

“Didn't? Didn't, right! Right! Anyway, I'm small and ugly…” As if accepting the setting, Eriri Spencer Sawamura's eyes gradually regained their light.

Xia Chuanzou couldn't bear to look at her at all, thinking that Eriri Spencer Sawamura was completely escaping reality now, but he really couldn't bring himself to agree, so he kept nodding.

As long as you can calm down, even if you're deceiving yourself, I'll believe you even if you say you're a magical girl!

After helping Eriri Spencer Sawamura stabilize her emotions, Xia Chuanzou didn't lean on her anymore. To avoid stimulating her emotions, he pretended to be very interested in the drawing next to him and began to examine it.

“This is the content I'm going to color today, right?” Xia Chuanzou reached out to the drawing on the table, but when he reached halfway, he suddenly noticed a corner of drawing paper peeking out from under the notebook next to it.

A neat and clean desk suddenly had an unruly fellow, and even without obsessive-compulsive disorder, he couldn't let it go, so he pulled it out and glanced at it.

“This is…”

Eriri Spencer Sawamura, who had come back to her senses, suddenly became very flustered when she saw Xia Chuanzou's unexpected behavior.

“Don't!”

She wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

So Eriri Spencer Sawamura watched as Xia Chuanzou read the contents of the paper, and then immediately pulled out the second and third sheets…

“…”

“…”

After a long silence, Xia Chuanzou finally spoke:

“It really is a classic subject! Right, right?…”

It was difficult to describe what he had just seen, a complete doujinshi? Or a manifestation of inner fantasies?

In short, the story tells of a blonde heroine who likes to wear pigtails, who suddenly encounters a tall, handsome male presence who completely overwhelms her childhood sweetheart while living a relaxed daily life with him.

That guy is a tough and shameless person, who threatens her childhood sweetheart if he can't force the heroine to date him—"You don't want your childhood sweetheart to be blocked in the alley after school every day, do you?"

So, in order to protect her childhood sweetheart, the heroine is forced to agree to this guy's dating request, and eventually keeps falling and can never go back to the past…

As everyone knows, Eriri Spencer Sawamura is a doujinshi artist, so there's no need to even think about the following plot, it's all in his mind!

Xia Chuanzou's expression was a little awkward.

Of course, he knew that the heroine inside was modeled after Eriri Spencer Sawamura, but he couldn't imagine it at all.

Do doujinshi artists all use themselves as material? What about those teachers who like to draw big breasts? Could it be that each of them is secretly well-endowed?!

In short, Xia Chuanzou was very shocked, feeling like he had discovered some secrets of the industry.

But what was even more shocking was the other aspect—when did Eriri Spencer Sawamura leave the "childhood sweetheart party"?

No, if you think about it carefully…the doujinshi world is different from the real world, and in the doujinshi world, Eriri Spencer Sawamura is a humiliation-based doujinshi artist, while she herself is a firm pure love childhood sweetheart in reality.

Being stolen from her childhood sweetheart…humiliation is inevitable! And it's based on herself…humiliation within humiliation! It's simply treating her, a firm pure love childhood sweetheart, as a rag doll to be bullied! This is simply a master of humiliation-based doujinshi, a genius illustrator in the world of humiliation doujinshi!

He had misunderstood Eriri Spencer Sawamura.

“I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, Eriri Spencer Sawamura.” Xia Chuanzou apologized seriously.

This was the respect for a talent who had achieved outstanding achievements in their field. Because he himself had studied many things, Xia Chuanzou understood the difficulty of achieving excellence, and he knew exactly how much effort it took.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura was worthy of respect, and he had to affirm her achievements.

“Ah? Misunderstood? Ah, um…” Eriri Spencer Sawamura nodded blankly.

She almost heard it with a head full of question marks, sorry? Misunderstood? Was he talking to her? Shouldn't he be severely criticizing her at this time, criticizing her for drawing him into the doujinshi, and still as a villain?

Just last night, after accidentally seeing the big snake, Eriri Spencer Sawamura couldn't fall asleep anymore. She lay in bed tossing and turning, thinking about the moment before she closed the video call—

A strange thing seemed to be jumping out of the screen and poking her in the face.

Inspiration exploded, didn't it!

Although she was ashamed, her hands and feet didn't listen to her after the inspiration came. So she put on her pajamas on her own, sat at the table, and drew the story that Xia Chuanzou had just seen overnight.

The heroine of the story was naturally her, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, and the blonde guy who would treat the heroine roughly…who else could it be but Zou!

Because she had almost worked hard all night, she slept very deeply and missed the alarm clock. By the time her mother woke her up, Zou had already entered her house.

The flustered Eriri Spencer Sawamura wanted to quickly hide all the finished manuscripts, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a place to hide them. In the end, she decided that "the most dangerous place is the safest place", so she hid them under the notebook, but she didn't hide them well and was discovered!

Then there was the scene just now.

Fortunately, judging from Zou's tone, he didn't seem to have discovered anything, so Eriri Spencer Sawamura quickly changed the subject.

“Ah! It's not early, let's start drawing quickly…”

“Ah! Right, it's not early…”

Although the two had their own thoughts, they both tacitly chose to skip this topic.

So, under Eriri Spencer Sawamura's guidance, Xia Chuanzou found his position, but just as he was about to start, he suddenly discovered a square little box.

“This is…”

If there is something worth caring about, it must be explored clearly. This is the perfect truth that can promote human development!

Xia Chuanzou did just that, and when he got it in his hand, he saw the clear black letters "okamoto" written on the box.

“…”

Xia Chuanzou was startled and almost threw the little box in his hand out.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura next to him saw this and quickly came over to check the situation.

“What's wrong?”

Xia Chuanzou naturally couldn't let Eriri Spencer Sawamura see the thing in his hand, so he hid it behind him and frantically concealed it.

“Ah! Nothing! There's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to move my body…”

Eriri Spencer Sawamura naturally didn't believe it. Zou's movements were so exaggerated that she could see what he was trying to hide…could it be that thing she secretly hid?!

She immediately panicked, but she couldn't directly expose Zou, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with if he became suspicious. So she pretended to agree, and then secretly took the thing in his hand when Xia Chuanzou wasn't paying attention.

Taking a closer look, it wasn't what she was worried about at all.

What, it's nothing much…

“!!!”

The next second, she almost shouted out loud.

“Zou Zou Zou, don't, don't misunderstand! This, this isn't mine! I don't, don't know this…it must be Mom! It must be Mom who left it here!” Eriri Spencer Sawamura was about to cry.

First the big snake, then the doujinshi, and finally the Umbrella…was she a doujinshi heroine? She didn't want this kind of lewd misunderstanding!

The pupils gradually lost their highlights, and she muttered, "Destroy it…".

“I, I know! I didn't misunderstand! Calm down!” Xia Chuanzou immediately responded, he didn't even have time to think about the fact that he had been tricked by Eriri Spencer Sawamura.

What a joke, let alone whether this was true or not, he wouldn't dare to say it was true even if it was true!

If Eriri Spencer Sawamura lost her mind and went berserk, who knows who would be harmed by then!

028. Such a Coincidence

Everything is hard at the beginning.

Although the process was very tortuous, he managed to help Eriri Spencer Sawamura finish coloring the original manuscript.

Nothing strange happened during the period, but Eriri Spencer Sawamura would occasionally turn her head to look at him, and when Xia Chuanzou looked over, she would turn back, not daring to look at each other.

Xia Chuanzou expressed his understanding of this. After all, Eriri Spencer Sawamura was the original artist, and even when drawing doujinshi, she had to ensure the quality of the manuscript, so it was understandable that she was worried about him as an assistant.

“Finally finished drawing…” Xia Chuanzou breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his back, and tried to dispel the fatigue in his body.

“How about you? Er…”

Before he could finish speaking, his expression went dull.

In Xia Chuanzou's view, Eriri Spencer Sawamura was already lying on the table, fast asleep.

Her profile was facing his direction, her delicate nose twitched with regular breathing, her mouth was slightly open, and faint, small noises came from her mouth "Slower…" "Or faster…"

Should it be slower or faster?

Xia Chuanzou smiled, thinking that Eriri Spencer Sawamura was really dedicated, not forgetting to work on the manuscript even in her dreams, no wonder she could become a well-known doujinshi artist in the industry.

The sky outside was already getting dark, and the two had unknowingly spent most of the day. He didn't feel anything during work, but now that he had relaxed, he suddenly felt a little hungry and his head was dizzy, as if he was a little hypoxic.

Seeing that Eriri Spencer Sawamura was sleeping so soundly, Xia Chuanzou didn't wake her up, but gently helped her up and carried her to the bed.

Sleeping in a chair for a long time would definitely catch a cold, and Eriri Spencer Sawamura was wearing pajamas, saving the trouble of changing clothes.

“Good night, little blonde…” Xia Chuanzou's expression was gentle.

Although his confession was rejected, he didn't actually have any hatred, but more regret and disappointment.

Especially since a girl like Eriri Spencer Sawamura was so cute, she wouldn't hate and stay away from you because of this, nor would she publicize it everywhere, avoiding the possibility of him being pointed at and socially dead.

Perhaps he could have persisted for a longer period of time, but it was too late to say this now, so let's look forward.

After covering Eriri Spencer Sawamura with a quilt, Xia Chuanzou gently closed the door and left her house.

It wasn't too late, and he could still buy food now, but the fatigue in his body was too strong, and had already defeated his hunger, and he didn't even want to move a finger.

So he hailed a taxi outside, told the driver an address, and then closed his eyes to rest.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was completely dark, and the car had stopped at the entrance of their apartment building.

“Thank you, Mr. Driver.”

After paying the bill, he returned to his home, couldn't bear the fatigue anymore, and lay down on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how long had passed, but when the fatigue in his body had completely dissipated in his dream, Xia Chuanzou finally regained control of his body.

Opening his eyes, he saw not the familiar ceiling, but a delicate and cute sleeping face of a girl.
