As if to add fire to this temperature, An Yilun continued to deliver his speech enthusiastically.
"How's it going? I even grabbed Kato's share of the number coupons that were distributed within 30 minutes after they were released!"
"So! As partners who have worked together on this work, we have to gather at the station before the first train on Saturday morning!"
Hide your body under the shadow of the corridor.
Facing the loud-mouthed consumer glasses geek, Kato Yusuke slowly said: "In other words, the thing that is so important that you must call me outside and talk about it in an environment above 30 degrees... is this, right?
."
"You're here again! They say we should be more excited here—"
"It means... An Yi."
Kato Yusuke interrupted: "You know I haven't finished my lunch yet, right?"
It was obviously a straightforward tone, but it didn't make people feel a chill.
"Ka... Kato?"
An Yilun's emotional intelligence finally began to recover, and he forced a smile and said: "No... look, um, then you can see Teacher Xia Shizi in person."
Kato Yusuke was noncommittal, "Are these your last words?"
"——!"
An Yilun also trembled. Then——
"...I'm really sorry! I was a little too excited!"
Immediately there was a deep bow.
The attitude should be as correct as possible, the tone should be as sincere as possible, and as for the expression...oh, I can't see it because I have my head down.
Kato Yusuke said somewhat speechlessly: "Instead of apologizing, why don't you try to change the problem of excessive self-awareness?"
"Uh...I will pay attention to this." An Yilun also straightened up, "So Kato, you will go, right? The autograph session."
"How many people can use that number coupon?"
"Hey, of course it's one per person."
"Is that so...but there are no restrictions on who can use it, right?"
"I don't think this exists, but why do you ask?"
An Yilun also tilted his head and asked tentatively: "Um... Kato, do you want to give this away?"
Kato Yusuke nodded first, then shook his head, thought for a while and said: "Actually, my girlfriend really likes Mr. Kasumi's works, so I want to take her with me. I will wait for you outside the venue.
"
"Eh……?"
After finishing speaking, An Yilun was slightly startled, then pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.
"Yes, yes, but in this case Kato, you won't be able to see Kasumi Shiko-sensei. Is that okay?"
In response, Kato Yusuke smiled and made an OK gesture.
"Ah, no problem, I'll leave it to you then."
"No, there's no need to be so polite."
An Yilun also waved his hand and said: "Kato-kun's girlfriend... Then let's meet on Saturday morning as planned."
"good."
Kato Yusuke nodded in agreement, "Then, I will go back to the classroom first."
After saying that, he picked up his own oolong tea and the drinks he bought for Yamaguchi and Takei, and walked towards the school building.
Looking at the young man's leaving figure, An Yilun, who still had a question in his mind, looked a little hesitant, and finally couldn't help but stop him.
"Um, Kato-san!"
"Hmm? Is there anything else?"
Hearing his words, Kato Yusuke stopped and looked back.
Facing the young man's doubtful gaze, An Yilun also pursed his lips for a while, with countless thoughts in his heart.
"You and Eri Kashiwagi... no, do you know Eri Riri?"
"What kind of relationship do you have...?"
Such questions were not spoken out loud.
A breeze blew by, making the leaves on the trees rustle.
Before the other party became suspicious, An Yilun also took a deep breath, and then put on a deliberate smile.
"I'll send you the gathering time on Saturday later. Don't be late then!"
The expression was so unnatural that Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frown.
Just when he was asking something, he saw that An Yilun had returned to his usual appearance, walked up quickly and said.
"Then, let's go back to the classroom together."
The moment they passed each other, Kato Yusuke saw a fleeting look of indifference and hatred on Aki's face.
…
Wait until after school.
Just like a 996 social worker clocking in for work, Kato Yusuke came to the art classroom as usual.
Then walk into the second art preparation room.
Under this subtle sense of absurdity, he took out his drawing book from his shoulder bag and handed it to the "doll girl" who had arrived earlier - Sawamura Spencer Eiriri.
The other party accepted it with a nonchalant expression, and then started to open the drawing book.
Slender white fingers flicked between the pages one by one.
From the beginning, it was full of problems and could only be called a 'clumsy' practice; to a revised version that was improved after her guidance, with improvements in storyboards and pictures; to a young man's pursuit of better things.
Furthermore, the N items drawn are already considered commercial versions of 'qualified goods'.
Her expression also gradually changed during this process.
From being casual at the beginning, to being a little serious in the middle, and then to a slight pause of recognition at the end.
I have been turning to the latest version, which is the final version drawn by Yusuke Kato last night.
The moment the picture came into view, the girl's beautiful blue eyes suddenly widened.
"Liar...how is this possible..."
Her expression froze for a moment, and then she couldn't help but sit up straight, put her head close to the drawing book, and carefully observed inch by inch.
His expression looked dignified and serious.
The vivid pen power shines through the paper.
The scene processing is smooth, the details are exquisite, and even the close-ups of the characters' faces are lifelike.
Regardless of the content, the effect shown on the screen is already infinitely close to that of a work of art.
"Even stronger than myself"
This thought suddenly appeared in my mind.
Ying Lili couldn't help but clenched her teeth, and with a mentality of not admitting defeat, she continued to read the subsequent content with a critical and critical eye.
Time passes bit by bit.
In the quiet room, the only sounds that could be heard were the turning of pages and the gradually rapid breathing.
The twenty-four pages of "Early Summer Time" were quickly read.
Snapped--
The girl closed the drawing book and handed it back to Kato Yusuke.
"Okay, that's it."
His tone of voice was flat and unfamiliar, and his eyes looking out the window were slightly cold.
Looking at her expression, Kato Yusuke frowned slightly as he took the drawing book.
"What's wrong? Is there another problem?"
"nothing."
It was still the same tone as before.
Then Kato Yusuke's frown deepened.
"Aren't you going to comment this time?"
Facing his question, Yinglili maintained her posture of holding her chin with one hand and looking into the distance, but responded with a neither salty nor bland attitude.
