After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

There was a strange sound coming from inside the door, followed by a series of ping-pong noises, and then everything returned to silence.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no movement, Xiachuan Zou had to give up asking.

"I'm coming in..."

027. Genius painter Eriri!

"excuse me……"

When he opened the door, Natsukawa Kanade saw Eriri with disheveled hair, slumped on the ground.

A lot of clothes were scattered on the ground, and a red dress was tightly grasped in her hand.

Although the teddy bear pajamas she was wearing were very cute, the loose buttons on the chest really made Natsukawa Kanade unable to take a closer look.

"Buttons..." Xia Chuan Zou turned his head away, pointed with his finger, and reminded him, "Ahem, the buttons are not buttoned..."

After this encounter, Natsukawa Kanade deeply understood a truth - Eriri is not a completely flat land, but a valley with gullies! She can even beat 5 Kaguyas! So there is no need to worry about the children going hungry in the future.

"Ah?" Ying Lili looked confused.

Just in the last second, she was still thinking about how to explain her current situation to Natsukawa Kanade, and the next second, her attention was attracted by his sudden turn of head and words.

So I looked in the direction of Xiachuan Kanade's finger, and saw two buttons on the chest that were open, and the one that was eager to try...

"!"

In an instant, the fair and tender face turned red, steam seemed to be gushing out from the top of her head, and her pupils lost their luster as her brain stopped functioning.

Eriri Unit, never to rise again!

Seeing that Eriri was showing signs of losing consciousness, Natsukawa Kanade hurried forward to support her.

"Calm down Eriri! I, I didn't see it! Really! I was focusing on the clothes! I didn't see anything else!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiachuan Zou wanted to slap himself twice in his heart.

What does this explain? It's just pure self-destruction!

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

"No? No, right? Yes! Anyway, I'm small and ugly..." As if she accepted the setting, Eriri's eyes gradually glowed with human brilliance.

Natsukawa Kanade didn't even look at her, thinking that Eriri was completely avoiding reality. However, he couldn't respond out loud, so he just nodded continuously.

As long as you can calm down, don't accuse me of deceiving yourself. Even if you say you are a magical girl, I will believe it!

After helping Eriri calm down, Natsukawa Kanade stopped leaning on her. In order to avoid irritating her emotions, he pretended to be very interested in the drawing next to him and began to look at it.

"This is what I'm going to color today, right?" Natsukawa Kanade reached out his hand towards the drawing on the table, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly found a corner of the drawing paper that was pressed under the notebook next to it and was exposed.

Suddenly there was an unruly thing on the tidy and clean desk. Even if I didn’t have obsessive-compulsive disorder, I couldn’t let it go, so I pulled it out and took a look.

"This is……"

Eriri came back to her senses and suddenly became very panicked when she saw Natsukawa Kanade's unexpected behavior.

"do not want!"

I wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Eriri watched as Natsukawa finished reading the contents of the paper, and then took out the second, and third...

"..."

"..."

After a long silence, Xia Chuan Zou finally spoke:

"It's really a classic subject! Right, right? ..."

It was hard to describe what he had just seen. A complete book? Or the embodiment of his fantasy?

In short, the story tells about a blonde heroine who likes to wear twin ponytails. While living a relaxed daily life with her childhood sweetheart, she suddenly encounters a tall and handsome man who completely crushes her childhood sweetheart.

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

So in order to protect her childhood sweetheart, the heroine was forced to agree to this guy's request for a relationship, and in the end she fell in love with him and could never go back to the way she was before...

As we all know, Eriri is a comic book illustrator, so you don’t even have to think about the following plot, you can see it all in your mind!

Xiachuan Zou looked a little embarrassed.

Of course he knew that the heroine in this story was based on Eriri, but he just couldn't imagine it at all.

Could it be that all the artists here use themselves as the subject? What about those teachers who like to draw big breasts? Could it be that they are all tolerant in private? !

In short, Natsukawa Kanade was very shocked and felt as if he had discovered some secrets of the industry.

But what is even more shocking is the other side - when did Eriri leave the "childhood sweethearts party"?

No, if you think about it carefully... the comic book world and the real world are different. In the comic book world, Eriri is a comic book artist who loves humiliation, but in real life she is a firm believer in pure love with her childhood sweetheart.

They were childhood sweethearts, but she was taken away by a bully... She couldn't escape the humiliation! And the model was based on her... Humiliation among humiliations! She was simply treated as a flannel ball by a determined childhood sweetheart and a pure love party! This is simply a master of humiliation books, a genius painter in the world of humiliation books!

He had wronged Eriri.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you, Eriri." Natsukawa Kanade apologized sincerely.

This is a respect for someone who has achieved outstanding results in his field. It is precisely because he himself has learned a lot that Natsukawa Sou understands the difficulty of being outstanding, and he knows exactly how much effort is required.

Eriri was worthy of admiration, and he had to acknowledge her achievements.

"Ah? Misunderstanding? Ah, um..." Eriri nodded blankly.

She was almost full of questions. Sorry? Misunderstanding? Was he talking to her? Shouldn't he accuse her harshly at this time, accusing her of drawing Zou into the book, and accusing her of being a villain?

Just last night, after accidentally seeing the giant python, Eriri couldn't sleep anymore. She tossed and turned in bed, thinking about the moment before she turned off the video call -

A strange object seemed to jump out of the screen and poke her face.

The inspiration is exploding!

Although he was extremely embarrassed, his hands and feet became uncontrollable when inspiration came. So he put on his pajamas, sat at the table, and drew the story that Xiachuan Zou had just seen overnight.

The heroine of the story is naturally Eriri, and the yellow-haired guy who treats the heroine rudely...who else could it be but Kanade!

Because she worked hard almost the entire night, she slept very soundly and missed the alarm. When her mother woke her up, Zou had already entered her house.

In a panic, Eriri wanted to hide all the finished drawings quickly, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a place to hide them. Finally, she decided that "the most dangerous place is the safest place", so she hid them under the notebook, but it turned out that she didn't hide them well and they were discovered!

Then the scene just now happened.

Luckily, judging from Kanade's tone, he didn't seem to notice anything, so Eriri quickly changed the subject.

"Ah! It's getting late, let's start painting..."

"Ah! Yes, it's getting late..."

Although both of them had their own thoughts, they tacitly chose to skip this topic.

So under Eriri's guidance, Natsukawa Kanade found his position. However, just as he was about to take action, he suddenly found a box of small square things.

"This is……"

If there is something worth caring about, we must find out clearly. This is the perfect truth that can promote human development!

That's what Natsukawa Kanade did, and then when he took the box in his hand, he saw the clear black letters "okamoto" written on it.

"..."

Xiachuan Zou was so frightened that he almost dropped the small box in his hand.

Seeing this, Ying Lili hurried over to check the situation.

"what happened?"

Naturally, Natsukawa Kanade couldn't let Eriri see what was in his hand, so he hid it behind his back and tried to cover it up frantically.

"Ah! No! Nothing at all, I just suddenly felt like moving my body..."

Of course, Eriri didn't believe it. Kanade's movements were so exaggerated that even she could tell that she was hiding something... Could it be that thing she had secretly hidden? !

She immediately panicked, but it was not easy to expose him directly, otherwise he would become suspicious and it would be even more difficult to deal with. So she pretended to agree, and then secretly took the thing from his hand when Xiachuan Zou was not noticing.

After a closer look, it was not the one she was worried about.

What? It's no big deal...

"!!!"

The next second he almost shouted out loud.

"Zouzozou, don't misunderstand! This, this is not mine! I didn't know, but I knew... it must be my mom! It must be my mom who left it here!" Ying Lili was almost crying.

First it was the python, then the book, and finally the umbrella... Where did she come from? I don't want this kind of awkward misunderstanding at all!

His pupils gradually lost their luster, and he murmured, "Destroy it..."

"I, I know! I didn't misunderstand! Calm down!" Natsukawa Kanade responded immediately. He didn't even have time to think about the fact that he had been tricked by Eriri.

What a joke! Don’t even mention whether this is true or not. Even if it is true, he wouldn’t dare to say it is true!

If things go wrong and Eriri loses her mind and goes berserk, who knows who will be persecuted!

028. Such a coincidence

All beginnings are hard.

Although the process was quite tortuous, at least I managed to help Eriri color the manuscript.

Nothing strange happened during that time, except that Eriri would turn her head to look at him from time to time, and when Natsukawa Zou looked over there, she would turn away, not daring to look him in the face.

Natsukawa Kanade expressed his understanding of this. After all, Eriri is the original artist, and even if it is a picture book, she has to ensure the quality of the manuscript. It is understandable that she is not confident in his assistant.

"Finally finished the painting..." Xiachuan Zou took a long breath, stretched, and tried to dispel the fatigue in his body.

"How about you? Ying..."

He was speechless before he finished speaking.

From Natsukawa Kanade's perspective, Eriri was already lying on the table, soundly asleep.

Her face was facing him, her small nose trembled with her regular breathing, her mouth was slightly open, and a faint sound came out of her mouth: "Slow down..." "Or faster..."

Should I go slower or faster?

Natsukawa Kanade smiled and thought that Eriri was really dedicated to her work. She never forgot to draw her work even in her dreams. No wonder she could become a famous book artist in the industry.

It was getting dark outside. The two of them had spent most of the day without realizing it. They didn't feel anything during the work, but now that they had come to their senses, they suddenly felt a little hungry and their heads were dizzy, as if they were lacking oxygen.

Seeing that Eriri was sleeping so soundly, Natsukawa Kanade did not wake her up, but gently helped her up and carried her to the bed.

If you sleep in a chair for a long time, you will definitely catch a cold. Eriri happened to be wearing pajamas, so she saved the trouble of changing clothes.

"Good night, little golden retriever..." Xiachuan Kanade's expression was gentle.

Although my confession was rejected, I don’t really feel any hatred towards him. I just feel more regret and disappointment.

Especially since a girl like Eriri is so cute, she won’t hate you and stay away from you, nor will she show off in public, thus saving him from the possibility of being socially ruined by being pointed at by others.

Maybe he could have held on a little longer, but it's too late to say that now. Let's just look forward.

After covering Eriri with a blanket, Natsukawa Kanade gently closed the door and left her house.

It wasn't too late and there was still enough time for him to buy some food, but the tiredness in his body was too strong and had overcome his hunger. He didn't even want to move a finger.

So I hailed a taxi outside, told the driver the address, and then closed my eyes to rest.

When he opened his eyes again, it was completely dark outside the window and the car stopped in front of their apartment building.

"Excuse me, Mr. Driver."

After paying the bill, I returned home. Unable to bear the tiredness any longer, I fell on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but when all the fatigue in my body disappeared in my dream, Natsukawa Zou finally regained control of his body.

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was not the familiar ceiling, but the cute face of a lovely girl sleeping.

"..."
