Seeing Lu Qiujian's embarrassed appearance, Xia Xiao burst out laughing, she shook her head and said with a smile, "It's okay! I haven't talked so much to someone for a long time, this painting is your reward for talking to me!"

"That's embarrassing!" Lu Qiujian scratched his head and made an embarrassed look.

"For a cartoonist, there is no better gift than someone to appreciate her work!" Xia Xiao said seriously, "You can accept it! If you don't accept it, I will think that my drawing is not good enough!"

"Okay then!" Lu Qiujian seemed to be persuaded by her, and carefully put away the drawing, "Then I'll leave first, there are still some things in school, and I'll come back tomorrow when I have time to read your comics!"

"Hmm!" Xia Xiao nodded, watching Lu Qiujian disappear into the sea of people, and then began to shout quietly, but almost everyone hurried past her, and never got a deal.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, her stomach growled, she took out the bread from her bag, hesitated for a while and put it back, it hasn't opened today, what if she eats it now, what will happen at night?

It's really annoying, when it's time to eat, my sense of smell seems to become extra sensitive, how can I smell the smell of my favorite milk cakes, and baked cakes! Wow, even the smell of shrimp cakes! No, I can't help it! Although I covered my nose, the smell became stronger and stronger.

"Hehe!" Lu Qiujian suddenly reappeared, shaking the bag in his hand, the fragrance of the patriarch just now came from here! He returned to the position just now and sat down, "You send me a painting, I'll treat you to eat! It's just ready, it's still hot! It's almost time for lunch, can you taste it?"

"Didn't you bring any money?" Xia Xiao squinted at him.

"I didn't bring any money! But the credit card is still there! These are all bought by me with my credit card!" "I may have forgotten to bring money! Just now it was just a foreshadowing for these pastries! For a girl like Xia Xiao, if she rashly invited her to eat, she probably wouldn't agree, but with the gift of paintings as a buffer, it would not be a problem at all!

As for the things I bought, they are all specialties of Shonan. Lu Qiujian deduced from her accent that she was from southern Hunan, and she must have liked these hometown specialties, right? As for finding a specialty shop that sold these, it was not a problem for Lu Qiujian, who had a detailed map of the capital in his head.

"Hey, you see I have accepted the paintings you sent, if you don't accept the pastries I invited, it will make me feel like a greedy person! It's so sad!" Lu Qiujian picked up a piece of milk cake and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious! It would be a pity if you didn't taste it!"

I don't know if it was the temptation of the delicious hometown or Lu Qiujian's words that persuaded the other party, Xia Xiaoyu hesitated to pick up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and then was quickly conquered by the long-lost taste of his hometown. Later, he grabbed it with Lu Qiujian. "The last piece, you have to keep it for me! Say it's for me to eat, why do you eat more than me!"

"Okay, okay, let it be given to you!" Lu Qiujian's reluctant look amused Xia Xiao, but he still didn't put back the pastry in his hand, after such a fuss, the relationship between the two seemed to be a lot closer unconsciously.

"It's really delicious!" patting his stomach, Lu Qiujian stood up, "I'm really going back to school this time! Remember to bring your work to me tomorrow!"

"Okay, give me some useful advice when the time comes!" Xia Xiao stood up and watched Lu Qiujian leave.

The next day, it was still the time when I met Lu Qiujian yesterday. As soon as he sat down, he shook the bag in his hand, "Today you invited me to read comics, so I invited you to dinner!"

"Drain sugar and shortbread!" Xia Xiao didn't need to open the bag to smell what Lu Qiujian was carrying, and this time she didn't refuse. He took it generously, then took out a stack of sketches from his bag and handed them over, and the two of them sat side by side on the side of the road, eating pastries and flipping through comics, as if the street was like a café.

When the pastry is finished. The sketch also turned to the end, "How about it? What do you suggest?" Xia Xiao asked with anticipation, blinking his eyes. For some reason, she always felt that Lu Qiujian could give suitable advice.

"Well, how can I say it! I've heard two sentences about the manga industry before, the first sentence is that no matter how good the drawing is, there should be as many people as there are manga artists; the second sentence is that if the drawing skills are not good, then go to Shueisha and try it! Where is it very tolerant of novices with poor drawing skills!" Lu Qiujian flipped to the front of the sketch, pointed to the pictures and said, "Your drawing skills can already meet the basic needs of becoming a cartoonist!" But it's not enough to draw well, the biggest difference between a cartoonist who can be liked by readers and a cartoonist who is not accepted by readers is not his drawing skills but his ability to compose, that is, whether he has the ability to storyboard or not!"

Flipping through the sketches from the beginning to the end, "The sketches you gave me are all single drawings, and I can't tell you your storyboard ability yet!" If you look at these drawings alone, you may be a good illustrator, but whether you can become a cartoonist is not certain!"

"It seems like that!" Xia Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll find a storyboard sketch to bring to you at night!"

That's right, that's the way it is, otherwise how can I have a reason to come over tomorrow! Today's goal was achieved, and Lu Qiujian compared a scissor hand to himself in his heart. got up and made an appointment with Xia Xiao to meet tomorrow, then said goodbye and left.

On the third day, Lu Qiujian brought crispy duck and shortbread, and chatted with Xia Xiao about the drawing method of Toriyama Ming's concise picture and gorgeous action storyboard.

On the fourth day, Lu Qiujian brought oil baba and sweet potato cakes, and discussed with Xia Xiao the storyboard of CLAMP's gorgeous pictures and simple movements.

On the fifth day, Lu Qiujian brought ginger candy and baked vegetarian recipes, and this time the topic was changed to the god-level skill of Yuhiko Inoue in the last part of "Slam Dunk", where you can hear the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor in the picture.

On the sixth day, the food became a hemp cake and a kumquat cake, and the object of conversation became Tsukasa Hojo, Yuhiko Inoue's teacher, and the background was so delicate that it was perverted, from architecture to watches, and Tsukasa Hojo was depicted in great detail.

At eleven o'clock on the seventh day, when Lu Qiujian appeared a few days ago, Xia Xiao unconsciously turned his expectant gaze to the direction where Lu Qiujian came, but after waiting for a long time, the other party still did not appear.

In a certain blind spot of Xia Xiao's vision, Lu Qiujian saw the expectation and disappointment in her eyes clearly, and couldn't help but smile slightly in her heart, it seems that her Pavlov sister method has had a good effect. (To be continued.) )
