Chapter 3 Warning! The Demon King is surprisingly cute 3
When I returned to Hanamachi Institute, the sky was already full of stars, like a piece of black velvet cloth sprinkled with diamonds. At the entrance of the institute, there was a person wandering, seemingly hesitating whether to knock on the door.
This place is so remote, yet there are people who come here specifically to visit?
He was a thin boy, tall, with clean and refreshing short black hair. His skin was as white as fine porcelain, his eyes were slightly upturned, and his eyeballs were as transparent as glass. His nose was very straight and his mouth was a small pink thin lip. He was wearing a simple white shirt and black shorts that just reached his knees, revealing his equally white calves.
Wow, this boy is so cute!
I took the initiative to walk to his side and gently patted his shoulder: "Hello! Are you also from Hanamachi Research Institute? Why don't you go in? Did you forget to bring your key?"
The cute black-haired boy was startled by my interruption and looked at me with wide eyes. In the moonlight, I could clearly see his long, curly eyelashes .
I smiled at him in a friendly manner: "My name is Yan Dingding, and I work here. What about you?"
"My name is Yu Li." He hesitated for a moment, a blush on his fair face, "I... I don't work here."
Huh ?
I scratched my head: "Haha, actually I am just a handyman! So are you here to look for someone?"
The cute boy named Yu Li said vaguely: "Nothing, no...no."
I thought he was embarrassed, so I quickly patted my chest and assured him, "It's okay. I work as a handyman in Lab No. 1, as an assistant to the amazing Xia Senshi. If it's just to help find someone, I should be able to do it..."
Before I finished speaking, Yu Li suddenly became excited. Anger flashed in his clear eyes and his fists clenched.
He said coldly: "Are you Xia Senshi's assistant?"
Strange...why does he look like he has a grudge against Xia Senshi?
Oh my god, Xia Senshi, when did you offend your enemy? Do you owe him money? He won't ask you to pay it back, will he?
"I, I don't..."
Before I could come up with an excuse to get out, Yu Li said sharply: "For someone like Xia Senshi to have you as his assistant, you must be very capable!"
What's wrong with him? He seems to be very annoyed with Xia Senshi's appearance.
"Yu Li, you... don't misunderstand me." I waved my hands anxiously, "Actually, my grades are very bad, really. Although Xia Senshi is a little arrogant, it's not that bad. You'll get used to it!"
I tried to comfort him, but for some reason, Yu Li was very angry and didn't want to listen to my explanation. This made me curious about what happened between him and Xia Senshi.
"I admit that he is a genius and very powerful, but isn't it too much to look down on others and slander them based on this?"
Huh? What's going on?
Xia Senshi is an arrogant and cold person who never takes other people's affairs seriously. If you say that he hurts other people's self-esteem, I still believe it, but if you say that he slanders others...
"Yu Li, do you have any misunderstandings?"
But he didn't want to listen to me anymore: "Sorry, this has nothing to do with you. I don't have anything else to say, just forget what I said just now. Bye!"
After saying that, Yu Li turned around and walked away. He walked so fast, as if something disgusting was chasing him.
After a long time, I still stood there, unable to recover. In just a few minutes, I had already had several mosquito bites on my arms .
"Ah!" I quickly ran to the door, and just as I was about to open it, the door opened by itself from the inside.
Why is the door of this Hanamachi Research Institute so magical? Every time, someone opens it from the inside.
"Yan Dingding, why did you come back so late? Do you know that it is dangerous for a girl to take a taxi alone at this late hour?"
I looked up and found that it was Xia Senshi who opened the door. He was wearing black home clothes, and his handsome face was full of impatience. Rouwan fell asleep on his left shoulder, snoring from time to time.
Ah! Xia Senshi is waiting for me! Does he...does he care about me so much?
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Um...it's okay, I can take care of myself."
Xia Senshi was wearing white plush home slippers, and it was obvious that he had just come out of the bedroom. He said indifferently: "I saw you arrived ten minutes ago, why didn't you come in? Are you standing outside feeding mosquitoes?"
Obviously, these words were meant to show concern for others, but when said by this weird guy, it sounded like a reproach.
"No, I just met a boy named Yu Li, and he seemed to know you. Do you still remember him?" I asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Xia Senshi said expressionlessly: "I don't know him."
His arrogant look made it difficult to refute him, so I had to keep my mouth shut.
Xia Senshi took out a small green ointment from his pocket. The ointment still exuded the fragrance of mint. He threw the ointment to me and turned away: "Apply it first. It's the swelling-reducing medicine I made. Come upstairs after applying it. From today on, I will train your painting skills every day."
I glanced blankly at the ointment in my hand and quickly chased after him: "Hey, Xia Senshi!"
He turned his head. The dreamy moonlight poured down, making his profile look as perfect as the sun god Apollo.
"Why, you don't want to?"
I bit my lip, unable to tell what I felt, and whispered, "No...thank you."
After several seconds, Xia Senshi finally managed to squeeze out an "Oh", as if he had no idea how to react when receiving thanks from others for the first time.
Watching him walk away coldly, I couldn't help but feel a warm current in my heart. Xia Senshi is actually quite good. Fortunately, I didn't go to the previous comic training class. The master of "Firefly Forest" personally guided me. I couldn't miss such a treatment!
However, I found that my gratitude burst out too quickly and too stupidly!
The painting training that Xia Senshi gave me was completely hell-mode, the most brutal special training!
From the second day on, I was banned from participating in all experimental activities and was instead asked to draw comics. Every morning, I had to copy five original anime drawings, sketch ten scene drawings in the afternoon, and design various expressions and accessories for an original character in the evening. Every day had to be different. The principle was: absolutely no plagiarism!
Oh my God, every day when I open my eyes, I can't help but shed a tear of sadness when I think about so many tasks.
Do you think the torture is just that? No way! Xia Senshi, this guy, even though he threw me aside and let me fend for myself, whenever he passed by me, he would say things like "There's something wrong with the proportions", "Did you forget the perspective again?", "The color adjustment should be more accurate"...
But when I turned around to look at him, I found that he just glanced at me!
Ah! Can this person not be so awesome? Drawing under the eyes of such a great artist is really stressful!
However, I have to say that, although it was painful, my painting skills were improving rapidly. If I could only draw a small thatched house at the beginning, after just a few days, I could already draw a building, and after a few more days, I could draw a magnificent castle...
And now, I feel like I can paint the whole world!
Under the supervision of Xia Senshi, I published my own original comic "The Adventures of Mr. Rabbit", which tells a fantasy story about a beautiful boy who turns into a rabbit and travels to an alien planet.
Xia Senshi required me to update the chapters every day, so I didn't dare to slack off at all and was thinking about how the plot should develop every moment.
In the past, even with the halo of the comic masterpiece "Dream of the Star-Picking Prince", only a few people appreciated my comics every day. But now, many people actually read my original works, and for the first time ever, there were comments.
"It's really funny. Mr. Jack Rabbit is such a gentleman! Haha!"
"I think Jack should accept the invitation from the Blue Gold Planet and become the queen there, even though he is of the wrong gender, hahahaha..."
"It's so interesting, and the drawings are so cute. I hope the author can update it soon!"
“Please update!”
…
Can you imagine, there are so many messages every day, and everyone expresses that they like my work very much. This feeling is like a traveler who has been walking hard in the desert for many days and suddenly sees a clear spring, and the water is cold and sweet!
“Hahaha… This feeling is as wonderful as a dream!”
I held my laptop and looked at the messages over and over again, wishing that new messages would pop up every time I refreshed the page.
"Huh? Eighteen messages?" Xia Senshi passed by me holding a glass test tube, leaned over to look at the screen, and expressed disdain for my great enthusiasm. "It's only been three days, and the painting is not bad. Maybe in another ten years, you can reach my level."
I rolled my eyes speechlessly.
This guy, after getting to know him, I found out that he is not only arrogant, but also narcissistic! But considering that he has helped me a lot, I don't mind it!
"Xia Senshi, go and enjoy your experiment. Let me be alone and read these messages again."
