The moment Xi Muxin opened the door, he smelled the strong instant noodles, frowning, and ignoring his luggage, he went straight into the kitchen and saw a cup of instant noodles on the cutting board.
She lifted the lid of the instant noodles, and a scent of instant noodles came over her face, and the noodles in the bowl looked a bit "bloated".
Xi Muxin subconsciously touched the bowl of instant noodles, there was no heat—this bowl of noodles should have been soaked for quite a while.
"Really, I don't pay attention to my body at all." Xi Muxin wrinkled his nose, threw the instant noodles into the trash can, and opened the refrigerator. It was empty. The temperature in the refrigerator was no different from room temperature.
Xi Muxun sighed, she should have thought of this kind of soberness a long time ago.
Leaving home, Xi Muxin went to a nearby vegetable stall to buy eggs and chili. After thinking about it, he turned around and went to the butcher's shop and bought half a catty of tenderloin.
After returning home, Xi Muxin fastened his apron and threw the purchased ingredients into the sink, and then tiptoed to the outside of Shen Xin's painting room, gently pushed open the door, and saw Shen Xin lying on the drawing board, concentrating on it. painting.
Confirming that Shen Xin is still busy, Xi Muxin also started his own "work", cleaning the ingredients, cooking dishes and rice. After a short time, a table of delicious dishes appeared on the table.
"..."
Xi Muxun knocked on the door very carefully, and then waited outside the door for more than a minute. There was no movement in the room, and in desperation she could only push the door open.
Shen Xin, like before, still concentrates on drawing line drafts.
"Brother Xin, I'm eating." Xi Muxin's tone was dissatisfied.
"You eat first, I'll wait for a while...Huh?" Shen Xin hurriedly raised his head and looked at Xi Muxin in front of him.
At this time, Xi Muxin tied her long hair with a head rope and woven it into a single ponytail. She wore an apron with a picture of a bear on her body. At this moment, she was holding her hands on her hips and bulging her cheeks, looking at Shen Xin with a little dissatisfaction.
Seeing Xi Muxin with this expression, Shen Xin felt his scalp numb, and barely smiled, and asked in a low voice: "That...the exam is over?"
"Hmm. I've eaten!" Xi Muxin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Next to Shen Xin, there was only a head-shaking fan blowing "buzzing", "It's summer, and I'm not willing to turn on the air conditioner."
"It's not very hot."
"It's not very hot? Then why only wear a vest?"
"..."
Talking to such a sister is really a headache.
However, this weather is really hot.
Xi Muxin glanced at Shen Xin's hand again, his hand was covered with ink.
This is the disadvantage of the dip pen. Every time the nib touches the ink, it has a chance to stick to the finger.
"Wash your hands first, right?" Xi Muxin reminded.
"Ok."
Shen Xin washed his hands, but the ink still stuck to his fingers. After washing with soap a few times, he chose to give up. It was really not easy to wash off the carbon ink.
Back at the dinner table, Xi Muxin had already filled the rice and placed it in front of him.
"What did the editor of "NewWorld" say?"
"I can only say that there is hope? Whether it can be serialized, not she alone has the final say, but also has the approval of the editor-in-chief. I guess... there is no big problem." Shen Xin speculated.
"When will the draft be finished?" Xi Muxin asked next.
"Maybe, there will be a test in the middle. It may be a delay." Shen Xin sighed, took a sip of rice and put it in his mouth, "So, I have to hurry up, draw the line draft before the test, and pay it later. It takes a long time to paste dotted paper, black and white...this will take a long time."
There are a lot of follow-up work, and it is very cumbersome.
"It will be fine if Sister Lu is still there." Xi Muxin felt a little distressed for Shen Xin.
He has just left for more than a week, and Shen Xin has obviously lost a lot of weight.
"She? Don't be kidding, her level is just like that, and... I can't afford to hire an assistant now." Shen Xin felt a lot depressed when he heard Xi Muxin mentioned that girl.
Xi Muxun chirped, "I just said casually. Anyway, I haven't seen Sister Lu for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing now."
Shen Xin was silent.
He has no enemies in this world, but there are people who hate him. This woman surnamed Lu happens to be one of them.
also, she was slapped in the face for no reason, and it was really difficult for Shen Xin to have a good impression of her.
"I can handle these things by myself, but you, how about the exam?" Shen Xin looked at Xi Muxin with a serious face.
"If there is no accident, I can pick any high school in Yunhai City." Xi Muxin said.
"Then pick a better one, the twelfth middle school, right?" Shen Xin suggested.
The Twelfth Middle School is the school with the highest enrollment rate in Yunhai City, but it is far from home. If you really want to choose Twelfth Middle School, Xi Muxin should live on campus.
Considering that comics should be serialized in the second half of the year, Shen Xin didn't have much time to take care of her, so choosing to live on campus should be a good choice.
"Brother Xin, this is my business, so don't worry about it."
Xi Muxun wanted to say something and stopped, but Shen Xin could see that she had already made a decision, so he couldn't say anything.
After all, the two are not blood relatives, . It's not necessarily a good thing for to talk too much.
"By the way, starting tomorrow, I'm going to work, and the meal will stay on the table. Don't forget to eat. By the way, don't eat instant noodles, especially those that have been soaked for two or three hours. "Xi Muxin said.
Shen Xin stared at Xi Muxin, and only uttered a word two minutes later.
"You have changed, you are not like this before."
"You changed first! Especially recently." Xi Muxin put away the empty bowl in front of Shen Xin.
Recently...Isn't it just after I crossed it? The little girl is still sensitive, she seems to be underestimated.
Shen Xin helped clean up the tableware, and was driven out of the kitchen by Xi Muxin.
"You are short on time, so hurry up and finish the drawing. I can handle these things by myself!"
Shen Xin could only go back to the studio, picked up the dipping pen again, and continued to ink the comics.
There are many types of dip pens. The main pen of comics chooses the G pen. The reason is that the nib of the G pen is flexible, and the thickness of the line can be changed according to the strength of the hand. The mood of the manga artist is displayed through the change of the line. On paper, it is precisely because of this that the G pen is more difficult to use than other types of dip pens.
After the host went to college, the dipping pen became its main drawing tool. Compared with the disposable syringe pen, the dipping pen is cheaper. For this reason, when Shen Xin uses the dipping pen, his fingers are not It will look too stiff, at least much better than the rookie cartoonist.
The pen quickly slid across the manuscript paper, and after a few minutes, the line marking on this manuscript finally ended.
Shen Xin picked up the manuscript and examined it carefully for a moment, showing a satisfied smile on his face.
