Chapter 4 The tense moment is coming 1
And so, two weeks passed.
I, Yan Dingding, have finally become a competent comic assistant. Now when Xia Senshi is drawing "The Dream of the Prince Who Picks Stars", he will also ask me to help him draw the background.
Although the following conversation still occurs -
"Yan Dingding, are you sure you want to paint all the roses here? To tell you the truth , I think it makes the picture look too cumbersome."
"Impossible! Don't talk nonsense!"
Then I looked carefully and saw that the male lead Zhaixing was smiling against a background full of roses. The roses that filled the entire screen seemed a bit cumbersome...
"Okay, okay, I'll redraw it!"
besides--
"Yan Dingding, where is my tracing pen? Is it lost again?"
"No, I definitely didn't lose it this time!"
"Then find it out."
After five minutes, I finally gave up and said, "Let me buy you another dozen. Sorry, boss."
…
Even though I am always forgetful and sometimes make small mistakes, I am pretty good now. Not only do I work well with Xia Senshi, but my original works—look, original works—have been collected by over a thousand people! I, Yan Dingding, am already a well-known online cartoonist!
How about it, isn’t it awesome?
Today is another new day. I am so happy to see the bright sunshine when I wake up! The quilt that I just washed yesterday also smells like sunshine.
Ah! So cool!
It is such a blessing to eat the fragrant foie gras with cod roll on the table, drink the hot chicken and mushroom soup, and pair it with two fresh carrot and milk bread!
Wait, wait... where did this foie gras , this cod roll, and this mushroom soup and bread come from? In the past, if I wanted to have breakfast, I had to go to the restaurant on the other side of the castle! And where could I find such exquisite food!
It's over, it's over, this isn't some kind of prank, is it? Maybe there's something weird in there. No matter what, spit out what's in your mouth, you idiot Yan Dingding!
"Damn it..." After vomiting for a while, I lay on the table and said in pain, "Who wants to hurt me..."
Maybe it's because I've drawn too many comic stories, and for a moment, what came to my mind was a scene where a lovely angel was deceived and poisoned by a devil... No, no, no, after thinking about it carefully, I would rather play the scene where a female general who endured humiliation and bore heavy responsibilities was killed by a villain in the court.
"Who is it...who is so vicious that he wants to harm a great contributor like me who is famous all over the world?"
"Yan Dingding, there shouldn't be any famous person in this world who would say he is famous before he dies, right?"
Suddenly, a deep and magnetic voice sounded behind me.
I was so frightened that I almost couldn't continue the performance.
I took a sip of the chicken and mushroom soup, then spit it out and continued to act in pain. I raised my twitching hand, pointed at him and said, "It's you! You, the cunning villain! I saw that something was wrong with you a long time ago, but I didn't dare to believe it. I hoped you would change, but you still hurt me today! Ah——"
I rolled my eyes and lay on the table pretending to be dead.
After several seconds, I didn't hear any movement from Xia Senshi.
Oh, why is this person so boring!
I opened my eyes to see what he was doing. I first saw a weird smile on the corner of his thin lips, then my eyes went dark, and I felt something soft "swish" across the corner of my mouth, licking the chicken and mushroom soup off the corner of my mouth!
"meatball!"
I jumped up immediately.
This idiot actually comes to lick me at this time!
Xia Senshi looked at me coldly and said sarcastically, "After being humiliated by a fool like you for so long, my plan finally succeeded. You have been poisoned by my Western Region Lizard and will become my puppet for the rest of your life..."
Oh my god, Xia Senshi's acting is really first-rate. How can he act so well? Isn't he too good?
"Xia Senshi, do you often play role-playing games by yourself?"
"Shut up. Now you can't call me by my first name. Call me 'Master'."
"you……"
Really good at acting.
I cooperated wisely : "Master, what do you need me to do today?"
Xia Senshi smiled , and his eyes, which had been shining with sharp light, became kind: "Today I will send you to the 'Phantom Star' comic competition to receive the award for me. After the matter is accomplished, I will consider whether to get rid of you."
"Yes, Master." I answered mechanically.
Wait...that's not right. Go to the "Fantasy Star" comic competition to receive the award?
I was immediately scared and broke out in a cold sweat. After so long, I almost forgot my original mission. It was only now that I remembered that the reason this guy used coercion and bribery to get me to be his assistant was to ask me to accept the award on his behalf!
"Is the award ceremony for the 'Phantom Star' competition going to be held today?"
Compared to my panic, Xia Senshi looked calm: "Of course, why do you think I fed you so many delicious foods this morning?"
“Oh my god, it turns out that pigs are fed to be slaughtered and eaten.” I slapped my mouth lightly, “I really shouldn’t have eaten this last breakfast, wuwuwu…”
Xia Senshi, who was always indifferent, was also amused by me. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't waste any more time talking to you. Hurry up and get ready to go. I'm going to do an experiment, and I'll treat you to dessert when you come back."
Woohoo, this is not a fear that can be relieved by dessert, okay? I've watched the broadcast on TV. "Phantom Star" is the most grand competition in the comics industry. There must be dozens of cameras on the scene. All the cartoonists who have been on the list and won awards will go, which means all my idols will be there! How can I have the courage to appear in such an occasion as the assistant of the great god "Firefly Forest"?
And I went alone, alone...
I returned to my room trembling with fear, changed out of my cute floral dress, put on a refreshing white T-shirt and denim shorts, and put on a red baseball cap. Then I thought this might be too simple, so I changed into a short-sleeved navy collar shirt with blue overalls. But as soon as I walked to the door, I thought this seemed a little too cute, so I changed into something more low-key.
After going back and forth for a long time, I finally changed back into a white T-shirt and denim shorts, and then put on a baseball cap and big sunglasses to cover half of my face.
Perfect! This must be as low-key as it can be!
My strategic plan was to wait quietly in the corner until the time came to receive the award, and then run back after receiving the award.
Come on, Yan Dingding!
