Chapter 10: Changes

The moment Xi Muhan opened the door, he smelled the strong smell of instant noodles, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't care about putting his luggage, so he walked straight into the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw a cup of instant noodles on the cutting board.

She lifted the lid of the instant noodles and the smell of instant noodles hit her face, while the noodles in the bowl looked a little "bloated".

Xi Muhan subconsciously touched the instant noodle bowl, but there was no heat at all - this bowl of noodles should have been soaked for a long time.

"Really, I don't pay attention to my body at all." Xi Muhan wrinkled his nose, threw away the instant noodles in the trash can, and opened the refrigerator casually, it was empty, and the temperature in the refrigerator was no different from room temperature.

Xi Muhan sighed, she should have thought of such sobriety.

Leaving home, Xi Muhan went to a nearby vegetable stall to buy eggs and peppers, thought about it again, turned around and went to the butcher shop, and bought half a catty of tenderloin.

After returning home, Xi Muhan tied his apron, threw all the purchased ingredients into the sink, and then tiptoed to Shen Xin's outside the studio, gently pushed open the door, and saw Shen Xin lying on the drawing board, concentrating on painting.

Sure that Shen Xin was still busy, Xi Muhan also started his "work", cleaning the ingredients, cooking vegetables and rice, and it didn't take long for a table of delicious dishes to appear on the table.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Xi Muhan knocked on the door quite carefully, and then waited outside the door for more than a minute, there was no movement in the house, and she had no choice but to push the door open.

Shen Xin, as before, was still engrossed in drawing line drawings.

"Brother Xin, it's time to eat." Xi Muhan's tone was dissatisfied.

"You eat first, I'll wait a while...... Huh? Only halfway through the words, Shen Xin hurriedly raised his head and looked at Xi Muhan in front of him.

At this time, Xi Muhan tied her long hair with a head rope, braided it into a single ponytail, and wore an apron painted with a bear, at this moment she was crossing her waist with her hands on her waist, puffing out her cheeks, and looking at Shen Xin with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing Xi Muhan with this expression, Shen Xin felt his scalp tingle, reluctantly smiled, and asked in a low voice, "That...... Is the exam over? ”

"Hmm. Time to eat! Xi Muhan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and beside Shen Xin, there was only a shaking head fan "buzzing", "It's summer, and I'm still reluctant to turn on the air conditioner." ”

"It's not very hot."

"Isn't it hot? Then why only wear a vest? ”

“……”

It's really a headache to talk to a sister like this.

However, this weather is really hot.

Xi Muhan glanced at Shen Xin's hand again, and his hand was covered with ink.

This is the disadvantage of dipping pens, every time the nib comes into contact with the ink, there is a chance that it will stick to the finger.

"Wash your hands first, shall you?" Xi Muhan reminded.

"Hmm."

Shen Xin washed his hands, and the ink was still sticking to his fingers. After washing it with soap a few times, he chose to give up, and wanted to wash off the carbon ink, which was really not easy.

Back at the dinner table, Xi Muhan had already filled the rice and put it in front of him.

"What do the editors of New World say?"

"It can only be said that there is hope, right? Whether it can be serialized or not, she is not the one who has the final say, but also has to be recognized by the editor-in-chief. I guess it should be...... Nothing is a big deal. Shen Xin speculated.

"When will it be finished?" Xi Muhan then asked.

"I can't say, there is an exam in the middle, which may delay a little time." Shen Xin sighed, picked up a mouthful of rice, and put it in his mouth, "So, I have to hurry up and draw the line draft before the exam, and then I have to put the paper on the dot paper, black and white...... It's going to take a long time, too. ”

There is also a lot of follow-up work, and it is cumbersome.

"It would be nice if Sister Lu was still here." Xi Muhan felt a little distressed about Shen Xin.

He has just been away for more than a week, and Shen Xin has obviously lost a lot of weight.

"She? No kidding, her level is like that, and ...... I can't afford an assistant right now. Hearing Xi Muhan mention the girl, Shen Xin's mood was much more depressed.

Xi Muhan pouted, "I just said it casually." Having said that, I haven't seen Sister Lu for a long time, and I don't know how she's doing now. ”

Shen Xin was silent.

He has no enemies in this world, but he has people he hates, and this woman surnamed Lu happens to be one of them.

Also, being slapped for no reason, it is indeed difficult for Shen Xin to have a good impression of her.

"I can handle these things myself, but you, how about the exam?" Shen Xin looked at Xi Muhan with a serious face.

"If nothing else, I can pick any high school in Yunhai City." Xi Muhan said.

"Then pick a better one, Twelve, right?" Shen Xin proposed.

No. 12 Middle School is the school with the highest admission rate in Yunhai City, but it is a little far away from home, if you really want to choose No. 12 Middle School, Xi Muhan should live in the school.

Considering that the comics should start in the second half of the year, Shen Xin doesn't have much time to take care of her, and choosing to live on campus should be a good choice.

"Brother Xin, this is my business, you don't have to worry about it."

Xi Muhan wanted to speak and stopped, but Shen Xin could see that she had already made a decision, so it was not good for him to say anything.

After all, the two are not blood relatives, and talking too much is not necessarily a good thing.

"By the way, from tomorrow, I will go to work, and the food will be left on the table, so don't forget to eat. By the way, don't eat instant noodles anymore, especially those that have been soaked for two or three hours. Xi Muhan advised.

Shen Xin stared at Xi Muhan, and only after two minutes did he say a word.

"You've changed, you're not like this before."

"You changed first! Especially in recent times. Xi Muhan put away the empty bowl in front of Shen Xin.

Recent ...... Isn't it just after crossing by yourself? The little girl is still sensitive, and she seems to have underestimated her.

Shen Xin helped clean up the tableware, and was kicked out of the kitchen by Xi Muhan.

"You're short on time, so hurry up and finish the sketch. I can do these things myself! ”

Shen Xin could only return to the studio, pick up the dipping pen again, and continue to ink the comics.

There are many types of dipping pens, and the main pen of comics mostly chooses G pens, the reason is that the tip of the G pen is elastic, and the thickness of the line can be changed according to the power of the hand.

After the host went to college, the dipping pen became its main drawing tool, compared with the disposable needle pen, the price of the dipping pen is cheaper, and this is because of this reason, Shen Xin's fingers will not appear too stiff when using the dipping pen, at least much stronger than the rookie cartoonist.

The pen slid quickly across the paper, and after a few minutes, the outlining of the page was finally finished.

Shen Xin picked up the manuscript paper and looked at it carefully for a moment, with a satisfied smile on his face.
