The next afternoon, Xie Shiqi came to Shen Xin's studio, and she was followed by Zhen Xi.

The three assistants looked surprised when they saw Zhen Xi.

When they were sure it was true, they immediately smiled.

Zhen Xi has just won the championship of the Go competition in Hongchuan, and he is considered a hot celebrity. Take a photo with him, sign a name or something, take it out to show people you know, or post it on Weibo, and you will have more face.

That's what they think, and that's what they do.

As soon as Shen Xin got up from his seat and came to the fence, he had already seen three assistants taking photos with Zhen Xi in various poses.

These three guys, obviously in the past two years, have a lot of opinions about Zhen Xi, and now they have become his fans.

Just when he was thinking nonsense, Zhen Xi also raised his head and looked at him with a look of surprise.

Shen Xin raised his hand and greeted Zhen Xi with a smile.

Strange to say, one is a cartoonist and the other is a professional chess player.

Although the two have a certain degree of popularity in their respective industries, they have not been in contact with each other before.

When Zhen Xi appeared in Shen Xin's studio, it made Shen Xin feel unreal.

When the two of them went up to the second floor, Shen Xin greeted them.

He has been paying attention to Go in recent years, and he must know Zhen Xi, not to mention that just yesterday, he deliberately went to Junhao Hotel to watch Zhen Xi's game.

But Zhen Xi saw Shen Xin for the first time, and after sitting down, his eyes fell on Shen Xin's face.

"Is there anything strange?" Zhen Xi raised his hand and just wanted to touch his face, but he saw that his fingers were stained with ink, so he could only give up, "It can't be that there is ink on your face, right?" ”

"I didn't ...... I didn't expect you to be so young. Zhen Xi rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and his eyes immediately fell to the ground.

"This is the second time we've met." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"A second time?" Zhen Xi was stunned, and his mind was blank.

"yes. About three years ago, right? We met in Old Man Xie's dojo, and at that time, you played a game of chess with Teacher Xie......"

When Xie Shiqi heard Shen Xin's words, her cheeks immediately turned red.

At that time, she seemed to be crying.

Looking back now, my face was a little hot.

"Yes...... Is it? Zhen Xi scratched his head.

He hadn't paid attention to Shen Xin before, and he didn't know what would happen later.

"Ignore those. I went to the scene yesterday and you did really well. I can't read it, but you were really great yesterday. Shen Xin gave a thumbs up.

"Really? Have you been? Belch...... When you say that, I'm a little embarrassed. Zhen Xi scratched his head, but the smile on his face told the others that he was still quite happy in his heart.

Xie Shiqi glanced at Shen Xin's hand, until now, Shen Xin had no intention of washing his hands, indicating that Shen Xin was very busy, so he coughed lightly and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Zhen Xi, you should have something to do this time, right?"

Shen Xin was a little surprised, he thought that Zhen Xi came this time, just to take a casual look, but he didn't expect him to really have something, but comics and Go have nothing to do with each other. Therefore, Shen Xin also didn't know the purpose of Zhen Xi's trip.

"That's ......" Zhen Xi rubbed his hands, his face showing embarrassment, "I...... Ahem. I'm here for two things. First, in the first two years, I didn't watch "Chess Soul" carefully, and said some inappropriate things, which brought a lot of negative effects to "Chess Soul" and Mr. Shen. I didn't take this to heart before, and I didn't think about apologizing, I'm really sorry. One of the purposes of this visit is to apologize to you. ”

Shen Xin nodded slightly, "Well, I accept your apology." ”

Zhen Xi's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief.

If Shen Xin didn't accept it, then he would be embarrassed.

"Thank you. The second thing...... Mr. Shen may not know, but in fact, after I lost to Park Yongtai last year, I felt that something was not right. Also, because of the successive losses to other chess players, I felt fear of Go. At that time, I was ready to give up Go. In retrospect, the idea was ridiculous. But once people get into the horns, many times, they will make unbelievable decisions. ”

Shen Xin remained silent, this is Zhen Xi's private matter, if Zhen Xi doesn't say it, it will be difficult for others to know, and as an outsider, it is not easy for him to express his opinion.

"Later, it may be a bit cliché to say, but I did see myself from Jin Tengguang after seeing "Chess Soul". The second thing is to thank you and Chess Soul. ”

Zhen Xi raised his head and looked at Shen Xin.

"Huh?"

Zhen Xi's words really exceeded Shen Xin's expectations.

Can comics really change a person?

But the look on Zhen Xi's face told Shen Xin that what he said was true.

"So that's ......," Shen Xin muttered to himself.

It sounds a little unbelievable, but if it is "Chess Soul", maybe it really has such power.

"I'm glad you liked it."

For a manga to be able to help people, whether that help is laughter and joy, or courage and dreams, then it is an excellent manga.

And "Chess Soul" is such a comic.

Next, there was another silence, and Xie Shiqi also saw the embarrassment between the two people, so she reminded: "Zhen Xi, if it's okay, let's go first, shall we?" Mr. Shen should be quite busy right now. ”

Xie Shiqi also knew that "Chess Soul" was about to end, and Shen Xin was now rushing to the draft, so he reminded Zhen Xi beside him.

"Wait...... I don't have anything to say. ”

"Anything else?"

Shen Xin looked at Xie Shiqi in surprise, but found that Xie Shiqi also looked confused - Zhen Xi hadn't told her about it.

"Group photo. Mr. Shen, I would like to take a photo with you, and if possible, ask for an autograph by the way. Zhen Xi looked expectant. 、

It turned out to be this thing......

"Yes. But I also have a request, and I also want your signature. ”

Zhen Xi raised his eyebrows and nodded again and again, the smile on his face getting thicker.

After sending Zhen Xi and Xie Shiqi away, Shen Xin returned to the workbench again and continued to draw comics.

For Shen Xin, Zhen Xi's visit was just a small episode. Before the end of the year, Shen Xin has only one goal, to complete the last few words of "Chess Soul".

When Shen Xin handed over the original manuscript of the last sentence to Wang Wenhong, the two looked at each other and smiled.

When they first met, they were rivals, but by this point, they had been working together for more than three years.

After hugging, Shen Xin followed Wang Wenhong to the first floor and shook hands with the three assistants one by one.

"Three, you'll have a bonus that will hit your account after a while...... Then, thank you for your help to "Chess Soul" for such a long time. We'll see you later when we have a chance. Shen Xin bowed slightly to the three people.

Gao Hang rubbed his nose, "Teacher, you also know my skills, you must find me in the next comic." ”

Shen Xin nodded.

Gao Hang has been with him for the longest time, and his basic skills are also the most solid, if he has the opportunity, he may still find Gao Hang.

Ma Ning and Li Jie looked a little lost, but they didn't know what to say at the moment.

"You two, be confident. It's time to pursue your dreams, and if you have any questions, you can discuss with me or Brother Wang. If you really can't do it, you can also change to a magazine. There are so many magazines in China, there is no need to hold on to "ComicFuture". ”

"Teacher Shen, don't you go out to drive people out?" Wang Wenhong protested.

"Then your magazine quickly took them both in." Shen Xin said with a smile.

Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose, "Try your best...... Try your best. ”

When the others saw Wang Wenhong with an embarrassed face, they pursed their lips and forced a smile, but in their hearts, there was a trace of sadness.

"Chess Soul" ...... It's over.
