Zhenbai was still expressionless looking at Rita who confided in her heart, but Jiang Yu could clearly feel that the other party's body seemed to be trembling slightly.

But he couldn't do anything.

The moment he saw Mashiro and Rita meet, he knew the performance of both parties - it was an enviable relationship that no one else could insert.

It's the same with small burials. Although she usually always shows a very unreasonable and willful appearance, it is because the person in front of her is her favorite brother, who has been accommodating her brother since she was a child, no matter what she does.

This intelligent girl is naturally the kind of person who can read the atmosphere. Naturally, I also know that now, the two of them have no room to interject at all.

So, in the small room, only Rita's slightly masochistic confession remained, and the faint ...... hidden behind the words Pain.

“…… At the same time, I was the only child who studied in the studio. Obviously, there were thirty people at the beginning, but all of them were driven away by Mashiro without consciousness and emotion. And even if everyone left, Mashiro's expression still didn't change in the slightest, like, it was just a trivial thing......"

"Me...... There is no way to forgive such a true whiteness. So......" Speaking of this, Rita bit her lip, obviously a little hesitant about what she was going to say next, but finally gritted her teeth and continued, "So I hope you disappear and I hope you don't see it soon, so I will help you become a manga artist, teach you how to use a computer, and even assist you with the procedures for coming to Japan." It's all about hoping that you'll draw boring caricatures, be criticized as worthless, and then don't go well, and you'll know how we're feeling when you're traumatized. It's just that I didn't expect you to make your debut! ”

Rita's eyes widened, staring at Mahaku, who still had no emotion on her face, and Mahaku opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she could only utter a few meaningless syllables.

Jiang Yu, who felt a little bad, hurriedly stood between the two girls, raised his hands and pressed them down, and said busily in his mouth: "You calm down, Rita!" ”

"I'm calm now!"

Rita shifted her gaze to Jiang Yu, who spoke out, with a heavy pressure that was almost about to turn into substance.

Jiang Yu sighed, accepted Rita's gaze calmly, and asked solemnly: "Since you are very calm, then, let me ask you a question - since Rita you think so, then, why do you choose to come here to pick up Zhenbai now?" ”

Hearing this, Rita narrowed her eyes, and the charming smile she had before was on her lips again: "I've said so much, Yujun, don't you still understand?" ”

Stared at by her gaze, Jiang Yu had the illusion of being penetrated.

Then, at this moment, the blonde girl, who was wrapped in a whirlpool of hatred, said, "If it were you, would you forgive?" How can I forgive someone who takes away her goal from someone else, who she can't get no matter how much I pray, no matter how hard I try, no matter how much I desire, but who easily has and discardes it without interest? Please tell me. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu sighed again, and the heavy expression on his face became a little pity: "I understand what you think, Rita, but, that kind of thing is not right, right?" ”

Expecting without permission, labeling without authorization, and finally disappointed without authorization.

That's just running away, just looking at others when faced with challenges, the worst thing to do.

"You understand?" Rita showed a masochistic smile, and there was deep unwillingness, remorse, and anger hidden in her tone, "Mashiro has what I desire, and of course I want her to become a painter more famous than anyone else." I can at least proudly say that I used to learn to paint in the same studio as that Shiina Mashiro. ”

"Otherwise, I won't even be able to figure out what I am when I stop writing because of my true whiteness...... I want to identify myself as a part of Mashiro, and I want to identify myself as one of Mashiro's talents. This mood, you say you understand? ”

In the end, Rita's tone was already filled with heavy contempt and strong denial.

And she knows Jiang Yu's existence, whether it is the other party's side as an ordinary person or as a creator. For the "Tu Su" who took out two projects in a row, so that people like her who don't understand game production and don't understand the current trend read it and feel amazing, she doesn't think the other party can understand the taste of failure.

In other words, in her heart, these two people are actually similar existences. They are all the kind of "geniuses" who walk straight forward, so that the people around them can't catch up with them even if they try their best.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that after her emotions were detonated, Rita's tone of voice towards Jiang Yu was as unceremonious as Zhenbai.

Even in each other's impressions, they can be regarded as meeting "offline" for the first time.

"I understand." Jiang Yu's tone suddenly became embarrassed, "The kind of person who can't catch up with all his strength, can only watch the other party's back go farther and farther, and you can only move forward slowly, and finally stop in place, looking at the unfamiliar scenery around you blankly...... As a result, you begin to feel that if you can't catch up with the other person, it's good to be a part of the other person's life. ”

In the last world, he had never met such a desperate genius, but he had also experienced the feeling of confusion and despair.

Probably, being left on the road by a friend who is moving forward with you, and drifting away from your original dream, will produce the same loss, the same pain, the same unwillingness, resentment, and powerlessness, right?

It is precisely because of the dream that I once seriously challenged and was crushed by other better people, or more importantly, the status quo of the industry, that I have that distorted mentality - the reason why I failed was all because of his/her/the world.

But that kind of thinking is just arrogance.

No one but yourself can be held accountable for your failures, and no one can easily say things like "it's okay to fail" and "you'll succeed next time."

The consequences of failure can only be borne by the loser himself.

Rita looked at Jiang Yu a little dazed, her eyes trembling, as if they were full of light moonlight.

In her outburst just now, from beginning to end, her eyes were locked on Mashiro and did not look away. Ever since then, she has always been painting beside her while looking directly at Mashiro's talents.

Because of this, Rita longs for Mashiro's talent even more. I wanted to catch up with her but couldn't, so I hated it deeply. But there is still no way to completely hate her, no way to completely give up her talents......

This is probably because she recognizes Mashiro's talent more than anyone else.

For such feelings, Jiang Yu really can't think of any appropriate adjectives except for the word "distorted".

can't catch up, can't get, but is unwilling to let go, unwilling to pass by, drifting away. So he could only stand in place and cry, and after crying, he stubbornly decided to watch over the other party, hoping that he could become a part of the other party's talent and even life.

It's like an awkward child.

Then, Jiang Yu, who finally sorted out his thoughts, also noticed a very important thing from Rita's inner voice just now. That may be the key to solving this problem.

"Woo......"

Finally, crystal tears slipped from the corners of Rita's eyes. Mahahiro panicked and wanted to stretch out his hands to it, but he quickly stiffened in mid-air, trembling slightly.

She was scared.

For the girl Shiina Mashiro, the blonde girl in front of her is probably the only person who can make her show this kind of expression, and the only one who cares.

Jiang Yu motioned to hand it over to him next with his eyes, and Zhenbai showed a somewhat weak smile and nodded silently.

In the process of getting along for nearly half a year, she seems to be gradually delivering sincerity and trust to people other than Rita.

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yu looked at Rita who kept wiping her tears, and silently said sorry in his heart - his next words were tantamount to digging up scars, and maybe this girl would hate him from now on.

But even so, it has to be said.

Because if you have been friends for more than ten years, because of this reason, you can't get along with each other, isn't it too pitiful?

"Rita." Jiang Yu called the other party lightly, the expression on his face was very solemn, "Did you mean anything in what you just said?" ”

- Most of the time, life is like an electrocardiogram, and if it goes well, you die.

“……”

Rita stopped her tears, raised her head in a little panic, and her eyes began to drift, as if she didn't dare to touch Jiang Yu's eyes.

- But it is precisely because of this that we should not be moved by the outside world, and be aware and firm in our own will.

"I know that you have also been expected by your surroundings since you were a child, and I also know that you have worked hard to meet the expectations, but you still can't catch up with the fact that you are white. However, I think there is one very important point that you did not state - what do you want to do yourself? ”

Jiang Yu's tone of speech was not harsh, nor did he seem to have the arrogance of "knowing everything", and even the speed of speech was quite sparse and ordinary.

There is nothing wrong with responding to the expectations of others, but what is more important than that is what you want to do.

But such words that went straight to the heart of the matter made Rita panic.

"I ......"

Not being able to give an answer, or rather, being afraid to find the right answer.

It's as if if she figured it out, the reason for her actions and the world she built before would collapse.

- In this regard, it is completely pointless to make excuses, and people will only judge important things without authorization.

"And the real white thing." Seeing Rita like this, Jiang Yu gave up asking questions step by step, and turned his head to talk about another thing, "I don't know what her parents think, and I don't know what her teachers think." However, the path of one's own life is ultimately determined by oneself. ”

"Before, Rita you said, 'Cinderella's magic has expired', right? But what if I could make the magic never fail? What if I could make Mashiro draw a manga that would go down in history? ”

"It can't be."

Although she was quite surprised by what Jiang Yu said, Rita still asserted it so firmly.

In this regard, Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders and denied: "Until the end, it's something that no one can decide, right?" ”

But at the same time, human sensations, made up of perceptions, memories and illusions, are unexpectedly unreliable.

Shiina Mashiro, who has been regarded as a natural artist since childhood, how would the world react if he finally became famous for his manga?

Rita seemed to think of this question as well, and her face became a little strange.

It was a mixture of hesitation, doubt, and a hint of anticipation.

After seeing Rita's expression, Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "It's funny, right?" ”

"Hmm...... No! Rita nodded subconsciously, but seemed to come back to her senses immediately, and instantly denied it, "I really think that Mahaku is more suitable for the world of painting than manga." This is the judgment made by me, who has been by her side since I was a child, longing for her, hating her, loving her, and chasing her. ”

- In other words, judgments are wrong. However, it doesn't matter, it's better to correct the mistake than to give up on making your own choice in the first place.

In this regard, Jiang Yu just shook his head: "That's not Rita's judgment, you just gathered the surrounding voices and took that as your own judgment." Also, you didn't answer my question. ”

"Yourself, what do you think?"

staring at the girl who was a head shorter than him with a hint of expectation, Jiang Yu was inexplicably anxious in his heart - why is this kind of character like a life teacher in a youth comic?

But as he said, Rita's remarks all along have been "how to ...... Mashiro" and "how to ...... because of Mashiro", without any thoughts of her own.

And for children at this age, having their own ideas is the right thing to do. The approach survey, which is common in every high school in Japan, is also for this reason.

- Yes, that's the exclusive right of young people.

In response, Rita shrugged her shoulders in frustration, then smiled a completely different from before, and said in a brisk tone, "I don't know. ”

Jiang Yu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to speak again. Mahaku also had a shaken expression, looking at Rita, who still seemed to be "obsessed". Only Xiao Bury, after seeing this scene, gently stroked his chest and showed a heartfelt smile. Then, quietly walk in the direction of the living room.

She also has to think about the next boss in the game and how to carry out the strategy.

"But." Rita's words changed, "I'd like to see Yujun's actions." ”

"My ...... Let's go? ”

Jiang Yu's face was a little stunned, and he pointed to his face.

"Let me see—" Rita's sky-blue eyes seemed to reflect the high autumn sky, or the sea glistening under the golden sun, "what you say, 'magic that never fails.'" ”

— or rather, magic that belongs only to young people. I want to talk about "Programmer in the Second Yuan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
