Christmas is the most important holiday of the year for Westerners. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the end of Thanksgiving, the atmosphere of Christmas in the entire United States began to gradually create, and even many merchants have begun to put Christmas trees, Christmas cards and other goods on the shelves.

On December 24th, the Christmas atmosphere is at its peak, and people wearing Santa hats can be seen everywhere in the streets, and some people are dressed as Santa Claus to distribute gifts on the street.

Many of the shops have models of Santa Claus and reindeer outside the doors, and even the music inside the manga shop has been replaced with Christmas songs such as "bells ringing".

For manga fans, December 24, 2007, is a day that has a special meaning in addition to a turkey meal for dinner.

The final issue of Superman, written by Frank Miller, is on the shelves.

Ever since Frank Miller unveiled new superheroes and a new Superman comic, readers' resentment about Superman's imminent end has long since vanished.

Therefore, even Christmas, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of manga fans, and there are still long queues outside many manga stores.

Traditionally, the U.S. Commonwealth has a two-day holiday before and after Christmas, so there are even more people queuing up to buy Superman comics than usual.

Who wouldn't want to own a copy of the "last issue" with preservation value?

However, Meng Qi doesn't care much about the sales of comics now, or rather, he knows very well in his heart that his comics will inevitably sell well, so he doesn't need to ask too much.

On December 24th, he gave his two colorists an early day off, and now the studio is empty, and he is the only one left.

Meng Qi has never felt much about Western holidays, and despite the strong Christmas atmosphere outside, he remains indifferent and stays in the studio doing his work.

In fact, many people have invited him to spend Christmas, such as Mark Dujon, Joe Smith, Bob Turner and even Nick Young...... Of course, they are all men, but Meng Qi always feels that he is a stranger, and it is difficult for him to integrate into other people's families to spend a local traditional festival.

Therefore, he politely refused them one by one.

Meng Qi is now working on something, in addition to the four new superhero comics, he also needs to write a story synopsis for the new "Superman" comics.

Of course, although it is a synopsis of the story, it is not the kind of synopsis that can tell the whole story in two or three sentences.

He must write clearly about each beginning and end, write clearly about the big and small conflicts, write clearly about the direction of the story, and control the rhythm of the story.

It can be said that the synopsis written by Meng Qi is equivalent to the big skeleton of a script, and what the comic screenwriter has to do is to fill in the dialogue and perfect the details.

However, for Meng Qi, writing a synopsis is not a difficult task, it is much easier than drawing comics.

In less than an hour, the document on the computer has been increased by ten pages, and when it is handed over to the screenwriter to complete, this will probably become twenty to thirty issues of comic content.

Stretching his back, Meng Qi saved the document and clicked on Twitter.

Since opening this thing, Meng Qi has communicated with readers on it from time to time.

Today is Christmas, and Meng Qi also sent a message full of etiquette: "I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!" ”

In less than five minutes, there were hundreds of replies below, some wishing Frank Miller a Merry Christmas, and some asking when the new comics would be released.

With a "bang", it was suggested that Meng Qi had received a private message from Twitter.

"Big boss, do you spend Christmas with the computer?"

Meng Qi glanced at the id, it was Su Nan, so he laughed and quickly replied.

"yes, I'm the only one left in the studio."

"As far as I know, there are a lot of people who invite you to their homes for Christmas...... Why don't you go? ”

"I have a disease that kills me if I eat a turkey......"

"Hahaha, then you can only be hungry tonight......"

It seems that Su Nan seems to be very happy, followed by a smiling face with emojis.

"Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing......"

"You know how to cook??????" The series of question marks behind are enough to reflect Su Nan's question.

"Would you like to taste it......" Meng Qi suggested.

"Okay...... I'll come over here. Su Nan replied quickly.

In this way, these two men and women with a delicate relationship made an appointment to spend Christmas Eve together, although it looks awkward, but, forget it, no matter what, this is also an appointment, isn't it?

Since the appointment has been made, it is necessary to hurry up and purchase the ingredients, although the studio is converted from an apartment and retains the function of a kitchen, but Meng Qi has never fired in it, and the studio has never prepared other food except instant noodles and other ready-to-eat food.

Meng Qi went to the supermarket near the studio to buy some frozen meat products, fresh beef, vegetables and mushrooms, as well as a large pile of condiments.

Meng Qi was worried that Su Nan wouldn't be able to enter the room when he came over, so he carried two large bags of things and hurried back to the studio almost trotting.

When he entered the house, he found that Su Nan had arrived.

This guy is barefoot, lying on the couch and playing with the computer.

"Uh, do you have the key to the studio?" Meng Qi glared at Su Nan and asked.

Su Nan turned over and replied with a smile: "Of course, I found someone to decorate here......

"Earlier...... Meng Qi said as he put the two large bags aside, taking off his coat.

"How did you buy so many things...... Can two people finish eating? Su Nan seemed to be in a particularly good mood, almost jumping to Meng Qi's side, and then bent down and counted the contents of the bag, "Frozen mutton, enoki mushrooms...... Beef...... And a whole chicken ......"

"Eat hot pot...... Of course the dishes are a little bit more......"

Meng Qi also followed Su Nan's example, walked into the room barefoot, and then carried the bag into the kitchen.

"What...... How can you eat hot pot at Christmas......"

Su Nan followed Meng Qi into the kitchen, smiling happily, his eyes crooked and beautiful.

"What are you doing here? You can cook too......" Meng Qi pushed Su Nan outside.

"I can't cook, but I want to see if you can cook......" Su Nan said as a matter of course.

Meng Qi shrugged, didn't say anything more, and let Su Nan stay in the kitchen, while he began to move. He first processed the whole chicken with bones, stewed it in a pot with trimmings, and then began to process the other ingredients.

"Wow...... You're so good at knives...... Don't you see it......"

Su Nan watched with interest as the knife in Meng Qi's hand danced rapidly, slicing the mutton into thin slices.

"No way, I lived with my brother when I was a child, if he was too busy, he would have to take care of himself......" Meng Qi replied while chopping vegetables, "So, this is practiced, I was only 8 years old when I first cooked......"

Su Nan was silent for a while, with her intelligence, she naturally knew that although Meng Qi's tone was flat, as if she was saying something very ordinary, she could completely imagine what kind of childhood he spent.

She didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, she found the topic: "Do you also have a brother?" ”

The word "also" used by Su Nan is very strange and meaningful.

Meng Qi glanced sideways at her, but did not ask or delve into it, but replied: "Yes, he is eleven years older than me." ”

Su Nan said "oh", and after a while, he might be bored, and after talking to Meng Qi, he went to the sofa to play on the computer.

It wasn't until the thick smell of chicken soup wafted from the kitchen into the living room that she happily got into it again.

"Is it chicken soup? It smells so good......"

Su Nan had an expression of "I'm hungry, give me a drink" on his face.

"I have to wait a while before I can drink it, and I have to change the heat to boil for another half an hour......"

"......" Su Nan pouted in disappointment.

Meng Qi smiled and was about to turn off the heat accurately, but saw Su Nan quietly walking to the side of the pot and stretching out his hand to open the lid of the pot.

"Don't ......"

It was already late, and Su Nan had already lifted the lid of the pot, and the water vapor of more than 100 degrees Celsius instantly rose into the air.

Hearing only a painful cry of "ah", Su Nan had already thrown the lid of the pot to the ground and covered his right hand in pain.
