"Yes, I'm sorry......"

Meng Zhe, who came back to his senses because he was awakened by the sound of popping water, was very embarrassed to say to Mu Huaying, who was blushing and his eyes were drooping and impatient, but his sorry meaning was a little ambiguous - maybe he was apologizing for the impulse to be polite but not being polite just now, or maybe he was apologizing for the newspaper clippings of Mu Huaying who fell into the water and made a popping sound.

"Hmm."

Mu Huaying hummed softly, she didn't even dare to look up at Meng Zhe, her heart was still beating violently at the moment, accompanied by bursts of throbbing that made her feel dizzy...... This kind of feeling has never been experienced by Mu Huayan.

Is it what it feels like to be in love?

The little girl's heart turned at will, and the shame on her face became even stronger.

But Meng Zhe had already stood up, after all, it was too embarrassing to continue to sit like this with Mu Huaying, wasn't it? Moreover, the newspaper clippings that fell into the water were soaked with Mu Huaying's hard work, and Meng Zhe accidentally got it down, so Meng Zhe looked around and began to take off his shoes and socks to go into the water to fish.

It's just that when Meng Zhe just took off a shoe, Mu Huaying, who was still shy, grabbed him.

"Don't."

The little girl shook her head vigorously.

"Don't?"

Meng Zhe was stunned for a moment, Mu Huaying's habit of making a long story and short story with his surname made him a little confused about this child's thoughts-don't you? Don't want it?

However, looking at Mu Huaying's bright eyes that were worried and firm, Meng Zhe understood that Mu Huaying's don't mean that he should not go into the water...... Yes, this seemingly clear river with unwavering water just swallowed Lin Xiaofeng's life.

"Okay, okay...... I'm going to find a bamboo pole, Jacaranda-san, can you watch this here first? ”

Meng Zhe didn't want the little girl to worry, so he could only compromise and propose.

This side of the river embankment is the vegetable farmer's own land for the supply of vegetables for the citizens of the county, although all the vegetable plots have been requisitioned after the development of the new leisure city in Kexun, but the long bamboo poles used by the vegetable farmers to build greenhouses should still be able to be found.

The reason why it is so clear is because before he was reborn, Meng Zhe had done the thing of throwing bamboo poles into vegetable farmers, of course, not to catch things, but to use them as homemade fishing rods - together with Lin Xiaofeng and a few others.

If you really can't find a long bamboo pole, it's a big deal to borrow a pole from the nearby construction sites that are being started...... Meng Zhe thought like this, he was not worried about not being able to borrow at all, because he was now the number one celebrity in the county, although it was not up to the level of all the people in the county, but it was really rare for people who didn't know him in the county.

Mu Huaying blinked and then the little girl nodded slightly, that newspaper clipping was her treasure, so of course she didn't want to lose it like that.

Soon, Meng Zhe was really familiar with the road, and found a bamboo pole of suitable length nearby, and then ran back to the river embankment with the bamboo pole panting, and fished up the newspaper clipping book under the guidance of Mu Huaying.

"Thank you!"

Mu Huaying glanced at Meng Zhe, who was already sweating on his forehead, his eyes as clear as water flashed slightly, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

"Thanks for what? It's my responsibility, and if I say thank you, I'll have to say thank you. ”

Meng Zhe shook his head, because he felt that the culprit of this matter was clearly himself.

So Mu Huaying stopped talking, and the little girl lowered her eyes again, her hand gently rubbing the wet newspaper clippings.

Meng Zhe...... That, you, the new manga should be drawn well, because, because it will definitely help more people. ”

After a long while, the little girl's long eyelashes trembled and asked in a low voice, as if she wanted to raise her eyes to watch Meng Zhe speak, but in the end, she regretted that she couldn't muster up the courage.

And Meng Zhe once again felt that Mu Huaying was an angel who came to redeem him.

So there was an idea that was irrepressibly born in Meng Zhe's heart, he wanted to create another comic, a comic that was just to thank Mu Huaying, the angel girl who redeemed him.

No, that's not right...... It is not only used to thank Mu Huaying, the angel girl, but also to commemorate Lin Xiaofeng, whose life disappeared into flowing water because of the agitation of my rebirth, and other people who withered the flower of life in advance because of me.

Before being reborn, Meng Zhe watched a TV animation called "Angelbeats!" created by Jun Maeda, who is known as the Great Demon King.

This "Angelbeats!" tells the story of a group of people who died unexpectedly because they couldn't let go of their obsessions in their hearts, so they were teleported by the so-called gods to an academy that existed with a large number of NPCs, and then confronted the three-nil girl student president who was called an angel, but in the end they untied the knot one by one and let go of the obsession and completely touched the story.

Although, this story involves the traditional concept that if you have an obsession in the cultural center, you can't 'become a Buddha' - this concept is actually reflected in many of the anime, and the deceased who is obsessed will not disappear automatically and may even become a ghost because of this, for example, the virtual embodiment in "Death" is also this concept...... However, in the end, the origin of the concept of reincarnation, which has penetrated Buddhist thinking, can find a strong flavor of Chinese Taoist culture.

After all, the Han, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, for most of the time, Huaxia was the entire East Asian region, and the status of the Celestial Empire ensured the assimilation and acceptance of culture.

Therefore, Meng Zhe naturally felt that he could use the script of this animation.

The need to change is nothing more than replacing the characters in the original anime with Mu Huaying, Lin Xiaofeng and others.

"Xiaofeng, if you have knowledge underground...... Regret? Still no regrets? ”

Meng Zhe looked at the river and whispered to himself, a breeze blew, and the clear river water rippled in layers.

"What?"

Mu Huaying asked, she didn't hear what Meng Zhe said, and there was a slight curiosity in her eyes.

"Nothing."

Meng Zhe glanced sideways at Mu Huaying - speaking of which, it really looks like it.

Thinking about "Angelbeats!", I hope that the obsessed boys and girls will obey the arrangement of the 'gods' and enjoy the unfinished life in the virtual academy composed of NPCs, but because they don't know how to express their wishes, Meng Zhe, the student president of the three-free girl "Lihua Song", was overlapped by him and Mu Huaying beside him at this moment.

The same clumsy words, the same with a gentle heart...... "Jacaranda, you are really a gentle and considerate girl, and the man who can marry you in the future is definitely a blessing for three lives!" ”

So, Meng Zhe said.

It's just that this kind of words with the vicissitudes of an old man are obviously not suitable for directly praising Mu Huaying, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old.

"I—I'm home!"

Mu Huaying, who was flustered by Meng Zhe's words, chose to escape with a wet newspaper clipping.

And Meng Zhe was a little stunned and ran away from Mu Huaying, because he hadn't had time to tell him about his plan to make Meng Zhe's version of "Angelbeats!".

Meng Zhe originally planned to stop Mu Huaying, but after thinking about it carefully, he chose to give up - that's fine, when the time comes, it seems more interesting to surprise this kid, isn't it?

Seeing Mu Huaying disappear at the end of his sight, Meng Zhe walked slowly in the direction of his house, trying to recall the plot of "angelbeats!" as he walked, but all he could remember was the general content of the story.

But just the approximate story is enough, because the story originally contained in the animation, because of the era and China's national conditions itself, need to be modified.

These changes are nothing more than a slight addition of didactic content, and it will not be the kind of blunt preaching, but will implicit these preaching in the story, which is used to make the script not click when the General Administration of Light Feet reviews it.

In fact, this animation itself contains these contents, so it doesn't mean that Meng Zhe is changing the script.

While thinking about it like this, Meng Zhe quickly returned home, but before he could sit down, the sister of the Jiang family knocked on the door of his house.

After saying hello to Meng Zhe's mother sweetly and crisply, Jiang Xiyao pointed at Meng Zhe in surprise and said, "Meng Jiji! You—weren't you very depressed just now?! ”

Even Jiang Xiyao, who has always been rough-spoken, can see that Meng Zhe's state at this moment has nothing to do with her depressed state, and Dingtian can only be regarded as holding her chin with her hand and pretending to be Auguste Rodin's famous sculpture "Ponder".

"Feeling down?"

Meng Zhe's mother Li Guilan asked, how many mothers in this world don't feel sorry for their sons?

"Yes, yes, Aunt Li, when we just got off the train and arrived at the station, Uncle Song, who ran to pick us up at the station, said that our former classmate Lin Xiaofeng went down to the river to play in the water and drowned, and then said that Lin Xiaofeng's family ran to the door of our Tianjiao Club unreasonably to make trouble, and then Meng Zhe was very depressed and said that he was uncomfortable and said that he would go home first...... If it weren't for my sister and I buying a lot of things and taking them home first, they would have come here a long time ago......"

Jiang Xiyao twittered to Li Guilan that this Nizi's surname was obviously not able to do work like an agent that required strict secrecy, because she couldn't wait to share everything with all the people she liked.

Of course, what makes Meng Zhe more relieved is that this girl has not leaked the ambiguous things between them so far...... But how long can these secrets be kept?

Thinking of this, Meng Zhe's gaze at Jiang Xiyao became melancholy-heaven, earth, what should I do about this kind of thing?

"Meng Zhe, Sister Kong asked me to tell you that the first Tianjiao Comic Con will officially start tomorrow, and she has to be busy coordinating manpower and arranging various things first, so she will probably not be free until the evening...... Sister Kong said, if Meng Zhe is really in a bad mood, it doesn't matter if the special lecture on "How to Draw Excellent Comics" that was scheduled to be explained by you tomorrow will not be held. ”

Although she didn't quite understand what Meng Zhe was melancholy, Jiang Weirui, who was her sister, intuitively thought that Meng Zhe's mood was actually quite good at the moment, but he couldn't help but say what Sister Kong Lan asked her to convey.
