The tip of the pen rubbed against the original paper, making a rustling sound.

The slender fingers, gripping the G pen, are like a programme, and every time you put down the pen without thinking.

Xu Jie came behind the young man and glanced at the young man's workbench. The water on the table was still on the worktop before he left, but it didn't seem like he had drunk much.

Xu Jie sighed secretly in his heart.

The young man's name is Han Ye, because he has been relatively eliminated in the past six months, and he wants to change himself, so he has a name called Jump, hoping that he can jump out more. But so far, little has been achieved.

Recently, he is not in the mood to read comics, except for knowing "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss", he doesn't know anything else, and he usually just keeps holding a pen and constantly drawing on paper.

His talent in comics, or drawing skills, far surpasses his peers, and even Ye Hexu. Therefore, it is possible to effortlessly imitate Ye Hexu's painting style and continue the style of "Crime and Punishment".

However, it is such a person, but he has some deficiencies in character.

Due to the betrayal of his girlfriend half a year ago, he has changed a lot. In other words, the reason why he is painting "Crime and Punishment" now is more to escape.

Especially three or four days ago, it is said that when Han Ye was out shopping, he accidentally met his ex-girlfriend, and after she said hello briefly, she showed sweetness in front of him with others.

Han Ye's mood suddenly became very bad.

In the next few days, when he was in a good state, Han Ye could go 24 hours without sleeping; If you are not in good condition, you may sleep for 24 hours in a row.

Xu Jie was very worried about Han Ye's health.

Because of the nature of their profession, most cartoonists are more homeless and do not deliberately exercise, coupled with a large workload every day, as well as the pressure brought by grades, therefore, after working for a period of time, the cartoonist's body usually lights up red.

A cartoonist like Han Ye, who has an extremely irregular schedule and rest, has a great possibility of having hidden health risks.

"Teacher Han, you didn't eat well, did you? I didn't drink much water either. Xu Jie put the burger and milk he bought on the table.

"The original manuscript has already been drawn." Han Ye stopped his pen and said softly.

"I know. Mr. Han's painting has always been fine. Xu Jie patted Han Ye on the back.

"That'...... After you have taken the drawing, please close the door. Han Ye didn't answer Xu Jie's question.

"When was the last time you slept?" Xu Jie frowned.

"I don't know." Han Ye replied without thinking.

"And when are you going to sleep?" Xu Jie frowned slightly, and asked patiently.

"Two more hours, right?" Han Ye continued to bow his head and paint.

"Two hours?" Xu Jie squatted down and looked up at Han Ye's face, his eyes were dark, and his lips were a little chapped, "You come out." ”

Xu Jie scolded in a low voice.

Han Ye didn't answer Xu Jie.

"I'll call you out!" Xu Jie slapped the table hard.

The eyes of the other three assistants immediately focused on Xu Jie.

Han Ye held the G pen and still wanted to paint, but Xu Jie snatched the G pen away, grabbed his collar with both hands, and lifted him up.

"Come out with me, I have something to say." Xu Jie glared at Han Ye.

Han Ye shook his arms twice, and he didn't have the heart to resist, so he was led by Xu Jie and walked towards the door.

The three assistants glanced at Han Ye obliquely and remained silent until the door was closed, when they breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the studio suddenly became much more relaxed.

Xu Jie pushed Han Ye to the corner, pressed his hands against the wall, and stared at him with two eyes.

"What the hell do you want to do? Self-harm? I've been an editor for four or five years, and I've never seen you like this. Do you think your body is just your own? No, many things have a lot to do with your health. Soon the 'Newcomer Award' will be selected, and if you fall at this time, all your previous efforts will be over. ”

"Xu Jie, you say...... Are you looking for me just for the 'Newcomer Award'? Han Ye asked rhetorically.

"Why do you think that?" Xu Jie's eyes widened, and Han Ye was surprised, "Of course not." We only find you because you have talent. ”

Although the "Newcomer Award" is also the main reason, if Han Ye is only at an average level, the magazine will definitely not make a big effort to poach him.

"It's really boring to be able to do something and not to be talented...... Maybe I'll just leave one piece behind. ”

"You can't think about it, do you?" Xu Jie was surprised.

“……”

"How many people still care about you?"

"Who cares about me? My previous girlfriends all put hats on me, who else cares about me? Even when signing and selling books, readers care about Su Han, and until now, there are still readers who think that the person who painted is Mr. Ye...... What is the purpose of my existence? Han Ye raised his head and looked at Xu Jie who was blocking in front of him.

"That's what you really think?" Xu Jie looked at Han Ye with a lost face.

Han Ye turned his head and was silent, his long hair covering his eyes.

"I know......" Xu Jie sighed, in the final analysis, it was Han Ye's emotions that were too fragile.

After his girlfriend's betrayal, he lacked a sense of security deep down.

The last time he signed and sold books, some readers showed a look of contempt after learning that he was not Ye Hexu, and it hit him hard, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place?" ”

"Where?"

"Jiman Bookstore. Let you see what you really look like in the eyes of the store manager and readers. ”

Xu Jie didn't care whether Han Ye was willing or not, took his wrist and walked downstairs.

When he came to Jiman, when the store manager saw Xu Jie, he first said hello, and then when he saw Han Ye, his face immediately showed surprise, "Teacher Jump." ”

"You know me?" Han Ye was stunned.

"Of course, you signed books here in January, right?" The store manager asked.

"Hmm." Han Ye's cheeks were slightly red, he didn't expect anyone to remember him.

"By the way, can you leave another autograph, my son loves your Punishment." The store manager said.

"He likes Teacher Su or Teacher Ye, right?" Han Ye turned his head.

"No, he said, his favorite cartoonist is you. Especially in the last few words, the expressiveness of the pictures of "Crime and Punishment" is excellent, and he feels that those pictures are very real, better than those drawn by Mr. Ye...... Wait a minute. ”

The store manager left quickly, and after a while, he took back a single copy of "Crime and Punishment", tore off the plastic cover, and opened the cover.

"Please, Hop Sensei."

"Huh? Are you a hopping teacher? ”

A girl's voice came from behind Han Ye, he hurriedly turned around, and the female high school student in front of him was looking at him in surprise, so she bowed slightly.

The store manager also assured her that the person in front of her was a real cartoonist Jump.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy a copy of Punishment and Crime." The girl excitedly ran to the "Crime and Punishment" booth.

"See? Cartoonists don't have the opportunity to reach readers because of their profession. Just like now, although you don't know it, there are many readers who support you, and there are many readers who write to you to ask about your situation. If you want to be recognized by others, then let "Crime" get more honor. Xu Jie patted Han Ye on the shoulder and said softly.

Han Ye was signing several readers, and his expression was no longer as depressed as he was at the beginning, but it was not much better.

"The next period of time is very important, and you have to adjust your mentality. The opponents for the rookie award this time are very strong. Xu Jie comforted.

"I want to visit the bookstore." Han Ye said suddenly.

"Huh?" Xu Jie was a little surprised, and didn't react for a while, but Han Ye walked towards the juvenile comics area the next moment.

Xu Jie was afraid that Han Ye would have any accidents, so he could only follow him.

Jumping and jumping went around the bookstore in a big circle, lacking interest, and even when he saw "Hunting Abyss", he had no interest in picking it up.

Just when Xu Jie thought that Han Ye would not buy any comics, Han Ye suddenly stopped and picked up a book.

Xu Jie's eyes immediately fell on the cover of the book, which was a long-haired girl with a sweet smile on her face and innocent eyes.

“《Y's》？” Xu Jie said in a lost voice.

"It was cosy...... Beautiful, huh? Han Ye turned the cover to Xu Jie, and his eyes showed some kind of expectation.

This guy is still eager to fall in love.

Xu Jie sighed in his heart.
