Chapter 207: Miss Him
Wang Wenhong submitted the original draft of the first episode of "Chess Soul" to the editorial department, which means that the first release of "Chess Soul" has entered the countdown.
In the 18th issue of ComicFuture, an advertisement for "Chess Soul" was published for the first time, and the readers' reaction was not as strong as expected.
And after the 19th issue of the color advertisement, readers realized that last year's "Rookie King" was about to release a new comic.
"Teacher Shen really went to "ComicFuture", I don't know if Teacher Yan Fei went?"
"Nope. Won't you go to the official website? There is no Yan Fei's name on it. β
"Yan Fei is in "MangaFly", don't guess."
"At the beginning, Yan Fei said that she refused the invitation of "ComicFuture", and it seems to be true."
"Mr. Shen is about to be serialized...... Two weeks to go, really looking forward to it. β
"The cartoon that Mr. Shen drew this time is Go, to be honest, I'm not very optimistic."
"That's right, I don't know Go at all, what do you think?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen's new comic is serialized in "ComicFuture", even if it is for "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss", you have to buy this magazine, and when the time comes, take a look by the way, don't make an evaluation, wait and see for the time being."
"That's just as well."
Readers expressed their concern about "Chess Soul" after seeing the advertisement printed in the magazine, but this concern quickly disappeared and was replaced by a full anticipation - the 20th issue of "ComicFuture" presented a solo poster of Zuo Wei.
"You're so handsomeβ"
"It's not handsome, it's beautiful, you know?"
"I didn't expect Mr. Shen to have this hand, and his painting skills have not decreased at all."
"Nonsense, how is it possible to publish a comic on ComicFuture if the level drops?"
"I'm going to put this poster on the head of the bed, and every morning when I open my eyes, I can see Zuowei."
"Rotten or not, you!"
"You have to take care of it! Anyway, for the next questionnaire survey, "Chess Soul" has already been booked. β
"Me too!"
The online discussion was in full swing, and Jiman Bookstore took advantage of this momentum to put up an advertisement for "Chess Soul" on the booth of "ComicFuture".
There are many girls who are interested in Zuowei, but after asking if it is a Go comic, they look a little regretful - it would be nice if it was a BL comic.
The first time Xi Muhan saw Zuo Wei's poster was in the class.
As soon as she arrived at the school, she saw Xiao Xia waving at her again and again.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you want to go to the bookstore after school at noon?"
"What do you do in a bookstore? Do you want to buy reference books? Xi Muhan was puzzled.
"It's to buy ComicFuture." Xiao Xia took out the 20 issues of "ComicFuture" from the drawer, "This is what I borrowed from Liu Hao - do you remember Mr. Shen Zheng?" β
"Huh? Remember......" Xi Muhan was slightly stunned.
In recent times, she has been working hard for serialization.
I thought it would be very easy to write, and the first few issues of serialization were indeed like this, but as time went by, especially after entering March, she felt more and more struggling.
At present, there are still two episodes to end, but she feels that there is a tendency to get out of control. The characters in the pen seem to have consciousness, and they gradually lose some control.
For a few days, she was a little confused, forgetting to contact Shen Xin, and forgetting that "Chess Soul" was about to be released.
"Originally, I hated him to death, "Y's" is so good-looking, why should I stop changing? Can't Iori and Yigui have a happy ending? However, after seeing this poster, I chose to forgive him, just hoping that "Chess Soul" would not be like "Y's" again, otherwise, I would really stop reading his comics. β
Xiao Xia took out the poster sandwiched in the magazine, and Xi Muhan's eyes also attracted it.
Seeing the actions on the poster, Xi Muhan's expression was first surprised, and then, she was disappointed, what Xiao Xia said, she didn't have the heart to listen anymore.
The gap between her and Shen Xin ...... It's getting bigger.
When Xi Muhan returned home, Lu Ning had already prepared a table of meals.
"Welcome back." He took off his apron one after another, took a wet towel and wiped his sweat, "The illustrations for the next issue have been drawn." β
"Well, thank you, Sister Lu." Xi Muhan replied absentmindedly.
"What's wrong with you? Sick? Lu Ning noticed that Xi Muhan's face was a little abnormal.
"I didn't ...... I...... Sister Lu, "Chess Soul" will be released next week. Xi Muhan said.
"I know what you said...... I looked at the poster. Although Go is a niche genre, I believe that Mr. Shen must be prepared. β
"What do you say online?" Xi Muhan asked.
"So you're worried about this...... Some readers on the Internet are looking forward to it, and some readers are not optimistic. However, I have faith in this manga. Lu Ning said seriously, "You don't have to worry, Teacher Shen won't read these comments." β
Xi Muhan shook his head.
"I also have confidence in Brother Xin, but ...... However, if this manga is really popular, the gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger. β
"So what does it matter? Big up, you brothers and sisters, who is with whom? β
"He and I are not brother and sister, and we have nothing to do with each other at all, but ...... Sister Lu ......" Xi Muhan's voice was a little choked, "I miss him...... But he was running so fast that I couldn't catch up. β
Lu Ning looked at the girl with tears in her eyes, and had a vague idea in her mind.
"Then why don't you go to Hongchuan?"
"I don't want to be a ...... burden"
"You...... Thinking too much. Lu Ning sighed and looked at Xi Muhan, who was choked up, "Moreover, you have done a good job now, at least among the readers of "The Softest Language". Besides, who says you can't catch up with him? Are you two or three years younger than him? β
"Huh?" Xi Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then his face was hot, and he waved his hand again and again, "Sister Lu, I'm not talking about 'chasing'." β
"Is there any other word for 'chasing'?" Lu Ning couldn't help but joke when she saw Xi Muhan's shyness.
In the end, Xi Muhan sat at the dining table and simply ignored Lu Ning.
"Okay, I was wrong, don't be angry. In fact, it is not easy to do anything. I'm sure Mr. Shen will also worry about the plot of the comics. The readership of "Go" is perhaps more severe than that of "Y's". Because, the readers of "Chess Soul" are not only ordinary comic lovers, but also some people who know Go, and maybe professional chess players will also see this comic. Manga lovers look at the plot of the manga, while professional chess players look at the details.
"This comic is not easy to draw, but Mr. Shen still hasn't escaped, and you and I have no reason to say that we can't catch up with Mr. Shen. I don't know how to write, but if you really feel overwhelmed, explain the situation to the editor in charge and she will definitely help. But as a reader who can see the first manuscript, I dare say that the quality of this one is absolutely fine. So, never put too much pressure on yourself. Lu Ning persuaded him.
Xi Muhan took a deep breath, "I see...... But Sister Lu, do you think I can catch up with him? β
"All I know is that if you don't do anything, the gap will definitely get bigger and bigger." Lu Ning touched Xi Muhan's forehead lightly, "We are now cheering him on and doing our thing well, we must not be underestimated by him." β
"Hmm." Xi Muhan nodded deeply, and his anxious heart calmed down a lot.
