Chapter 9 But I like you, bastard! 2
Duoduo was helpless and had to keep coaxing me, playing my favorite anime background music on her phone. The melodious notes floated into my ears, and seemed to really dispel my boredom.
Xia Senshi once said that his favorite theme song is "The Courageous Girl", because he thinks that song represents that even if you are betrayed by the whole world, you must not lose your courage. At this time, this song happened to ring in my ears. I listened carefully, and it seemed that a beam of light really appeared in front of me, representing courage and faith. That beam of light is like Xia Senshi's eyes, always looking straight ahead proudly, without a trace of timidity or retreat.
I gradually calmed down.
Yao Duotao patted my back gently and said, "Although I don't know how to help Xia Senshi, didn't you say he's very capable? I hope he can get through this difficult time safely! It's no use for you to stay depressed here!"
"At this time, I really wish I could be with him! You know, Xia Senshi actually has no friends... and Rouwan can't speak..."
"Believe me, everything will be fine! Now all you have to do is be happy! Only when you are happy will you have the strength to fight against evil!"
"Hey, this sentence sounds so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere..."
Yao Duotao said, "Pah," and said, "You wrote these lines yourself, and you actually forgot them?"
"Ah? I think my brain may have short-circuited recently. Stop mocking me and tell me!"
"That's your comic! It's called The Big Devil's Comic... Oh, The Big Devil's Contract! It was just published two days ago. I saw that the cartoonist named 'Chasing Fireflies' is you! This comic is very popular on the Manhua Nest website, and it's the best every day!" Duoduo rolled her eyes and said, "What do you mean by that stupid expression? Don't tell me you don't know what I just said! Come on, do you dare to say that the guy with the pen name 'Chasing Fireflies' is not you? The avatar is clearly your headshot!"
I'm a little confused. It's true that "Contracted Devil" is my work, but I've been drowsy these past few days and haven't been online to update my work at all!
"Wait, hurry up, move my computer over here, this is really weird!"
Duoduo looked as if she had seen a ghost, but she still worked hard to bring the computer over.
I logged into the comics website and saw that "Contracted Demon King" had been updated to the seventh chapter. Whenever I clicked on a chapter, I would be shocked by the messages from enthusiastic readers below, all of which asked me to draw new content quickly .
I read the comic carefully and found that it was indeed drawn by me in the beach house, but the details seemed more perfect and the characters' dialogues more vivid, as if someone had helped me to perfect it carefully.
I couldn't help but scream, "What's going on? I haven't even turned on my computer since I got home, how come the comic was published by itself?"
Duoduo was speechless. She wanted to say something several times but stopped herself. Finally, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and tapped me hard on the forehead. She said, "I'm really impressed by you! I don't believe that comics can update themselves! Think about it carefully! I think you've really become stupid from drawing comics every day. Is there really a snail girl in the world?"
"Duoduo, let me calm down. This cartoon was indeed drawn by me, and the Snail Girl helped me to polish it, and then uploaded it to the Internet..." I analyzed it in a very logical manner, and then I was given another slap on the face.
"Ouch..." I endured the pain and turned around to look for the comic manuscript in the suitcase, only to find that the manuscript was missing.
"Oh my god! Did I forget about "Contracted Demon King" at Hanamachi Research Institute? I'm really... so depressed!"
I knelt on the bed and cried in pain. After a while, Yao Duotao pulled me up.
"What are you shouting about? The neighbors will come to complain soon!" As soon as she scolded me, I immediately sat down obediently. "Stupid, Yan Dingding, think about it carefully. Your manuscript was lost at the Hanamachi Research Institute. Then, knowing that you drew "Contract Demon King", who else might help you publish a new chapter?"
Listening to Yao Duotao's description, a person's face immediately popped into my mind.
"You mean, it's Xia Senshi?"
"Who else could it be? Do you think it was that giant lizard meatball?"
"this……"
Is this possible? But it was Xia Senshi who drove me away with a cold face that day! How could he help me publish new chapters twice a day and polish them carefully?
I refreshed the page unconsciously, and a few new comments popped up every once in a while. I was shocked by the speed. In the past, it would take me many days to receive this amount of comments! And the number of fans of this work is also amazing. It's only seven chapters, but it already has more than 3,000 fans...
I watched in amazement, feeling indescribably complicated. But if it was really Xia Senshi, why would he do this?
"If it's really him, then our interactions may end here." My mood fell again, and I felt extremely heartbroken, "Because I only drew eight chapters at the time, and he helped me post it once more, and that would be the end. We will never see each other again."
Yao Duotao said sadly: "What should I do then?"
"What should I do? This is how it should be. He is a genius that everyone admires. With just a simple drawing, he can become the god of 'Firefly Forest'. And I, no matter how hard I try, can only be called 'Chasing Fireflies'..." I looked at the computer screen with melancholy, "How can I catch up with such a dazzling person?"
Yao Duotao was extremely upset and said, "Stop talking, I hate it most when people break up because of misunderstandings... Why do you have to go through this just because of Ji Feibai's tricks!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Yao Duotao, don't talk nonsense. When have Xia Senshi and I ever been together? How can you say we're breaking up? It's just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!" I hastily corrected her, my face getting hot in my anxiety.
Yao Duotao took the mouse and refreshed the page while saying, "Hey, look at you, your face is all red, and you're still saying it's nothing... Hey? Look at this, the comics have been updated! Just now!"
I looked at the screen in confusion and found that after the page refreshed, "Contracted Demon King" had been updated to Chapter 8. A big orange "New" was hung behind the chapter "The Demon King - Unexpected Passion".
I seemed to see Xia Senshi uploading my drawings on his computer and then gently clicking "Publish".
It is possible that he is now looking at the same picture as me on the computer... When I thought of this scene, my fingers trembled as if I was electrocuted. I didn't dare to open the latest chapter. It seemed that as long as I clicked it, the last connection between Xia Senshi and me would disappear.
"Hey, Dingding, look! What do those red words scrolling on this page say? It seems to be related to the 'Firefly Forest'..." Yao Duotao came over and asked me curiously.
I turned my eyes away and was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
This is an advertising page, and it actually says in eye-catching fonts - "Phantom Star" official website live broadcast: Master's "Firefly Forest" press conference!
"Firefly Forest"? Xia Senshi? Why did he suddenly hold a press conference?
Duoduo clicked on the URL under the ad, and a video screen popped up soon. Xia Senshi's icy face appeared on the screen. He was still so handsome, with perfect facial lines, deep eyes, and a cold expression, but he looked a little tired and his face was a little pale.
The moment I saw him, I couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Xia Senshi finally started to speak. Although there were thousands of people watching his live broadcast, it seemed to me that his dark eyes penetrated the screen and were only focused on me...
Wake up, Yan Dingding, and stop dreaming. At this moment, he probably doesn’t want to talk to you the most, right?
His mouth began to move.
Huh? Why is there no sound?
"Hey, idiot Dingding, turn up the volume!"
I hurriedly turned up the volume, and then I heard Xia Senshi's familiar voice. His voice was like a cello solo, low and elegant, with an indifference that could not be ignored.
"I'm ' Firefly Forest'. Actually, the person you saw at the 'Phantom Star' scene before was my assistant. The reason I'm holding this press conference today and revealing my identity is because I've decided to stop writing."
Stop writing?
Xia Senshi said...he was going to stop writing?
“Boom!”
It was as if a bolt of thunder had fallen from the sky and hit me. I stood there in a daze, and saw a chorus of wailing comments under the live broadcast, with everyone trying to keep him.
However, after Xia Senshi said this, he turned off the video without hesitation, and the live broadcast platform was paralyzed for a time...
