Chapter 10 Change

The moment Xi Muzhen opened the door, he could smell the strong smell of instant noodles. He frowned and walked straight into the kitchen without putting away his luggage. Sure enough, he saw a cup of instant noodles on the cutting board.

She lifted the cover of the instant noodles, and a smell of instant noodles came to her face, and the noodles in the bowl looked a little "bloated".

Xi Muzhen touched the instant noodle bowl subconsciously, but it wasn't hot at all—this bowl of noodles should have been soaked for a long time.

"Really, I don't pay attention to my body at all." Xi Muzhen wrinkled his nose, threw the instant noodles into the trash can, and opened the refrigerator. It was empty, and the temperature in the refrigerator was no different from room temperature.

Xi Muzhen sighed, she should have thought of such a sobriety earlier.

After leaving home, Xi Muzhen went to a nearby vegetable stand to buy eggs and chili peppers. After thinking about it, he turned around and went to the butcher shop, where he bought half a catty of tenderloin.

After returning home, Xi Muzhen tied up his apron, threw all the bought ingredients into the sink, then tiptoed to Shen Xin's studio, gently opened the door, and saw Shen Xin lying on the drawing board, concentrating on painting.

After confirming that Shen Xin was still busy, Xi Muzhen also started his "work", cleaning the ingredients, cooking vegetables and rice, and after a short time, a table of delicious dishes appeared on the dining table.

"Boom boom boom..."

Xi Muzhen knocked on the door very carefully, and then waited outside the door for more than a minute, but there was no movement in the room, so she could only push the door open in desperation.

Shen Xin was the same as before, still concentrating on drawing the line draft.

"Brother Xin, it's time to eat." Xi Muzhen's tone was dissatisfied.

"You eat first, I'll wait... eh?" After speaking halfway, Shen Xin hastily raised her head and looked at Xi Muzhen in front of her.

At this time, Xi Muzhen tied her long hair with a headband, braided it into a single ponytail, and was wearing an apron with bears on it. At this moment, she was holding her hands on her hips, puffing her cheeks, and looked at Shen Xin with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing Xi Muzhen with such an expression, Shen Xin felt her scalp go numb, forced a smile, and asked in a low voice, "So... the exam is over?"

"Yeah. It's time to eat!" Xi Muzhen wiped the sweat off his forehead. Beside Shen Xin, there was only an oscillating fan blowing. "It's summer, and I'm still reluctant to turn on the air conditioner."

"It's not very hot."

"Isn't it hot? Then why only a tank top?"

"..."

Talking to such a sister is really a headache.

However, the weather is really hot.

Xi Muzhen took another look at Shen Xin's hand, which was covered with ink.

This is the downside of dip pens, every time the nib comes into contact with ink, it has a chance of sticking to your finger.

"Wash your hands first?" Xi Muzhen reminded.

"Um."

Shen Xin washed her hands, but the ink still stuck to her fingers. After washing it with soap several times, he chose to give up. It is really not easy to wash off the carbon ink.

Back at the dining table, Xi Muzhen had already filled the rice and placed it in front of him.

"What did the editors at New World say?"

"It can only be said that there is hope? Whether it can be serialized is not up to her alone, but also needs to be approved by the editor-in-chief. I guess there should be...no big problem." Shen Xin speculated.

"When will the manuscript be finished?" Xi Muzhen then asked.

"I don't know. There is an exam in the middle, so it may take a little time." Shen Xin sighed, picked up a mouthful of rice, and put it in his mouth, "So, I have to hurry up and draw the line draft before the exam. Dot paper, black and white on the manuscript...it also takes a long time."

There is also a lot of follow-up work, and it is very tedious.

"It would be great if Sister Lu was still here." Xi Muzhen felt sorry for Shen Xin.

Just over a week after she left, Shen Xin obviously lost a lot of weight.

"Her? Stop kidding,

That's her level, and... I can't afford an assistant right now. "After hearing Xi Muzhen mention that girl, Shen Xin felt very depressed.

Xi Muzhen twitched his lips, "I just said it casually. After all, I haven't seen Sister Lu for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing now."

Shen Xin remained silent.

He has no enemies in this world, but there are people he hates, and this woman surnamed Lu happens to be one of them.

That's right, being slapped for no reason, it was really hard for Shen Xin to have a good impression of her.

"I can handle the comics by myself, but you, how was the exam?" Shen Xin looked at Xi Muzhen seriously.

"If there is no accident, I can choose any high school in Yunhai City." Xi Muzhen said.

"Then choose a better one, Twelve High School?" Shen Xin suggested.

No. 12 Middle School is the school with the highest enrollment rate in Yunhai City, but it is a little far away from home. If you really want to choose No. 12 Middle School, Xi Muzhen should live in the school.

Considering that the manga series will start in the second half of the year, Shen Xin doesn'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 Muzhen hesitated to speak, but Shen Xin could see that she had already made a decision, so it was hard for him to say anything else.

After all, the two are not blood relatives, and it may not be a good thing to talk too much.

"By the way, from tomorrow onwards, I'm going to work, and the meals will be left on the dining table. Don't forget to eat. By the way, also, don't eat instant noodles, especially those that have been soaked for two or three hours " Xi Muzhen exhorted.

Shen Xin stared at Xi Muzhen, and after two minutes, she finally said a word.

"You have changed, you were not like this before."

"It was you who changed first! Especially recently." Xi Muzhen put away the empty bowl in front of Shen Xin.

Recently... Isn't it just after I traveled through time? The little girl is still sensitive, and I seem to underestimate her a little.

Shen Xin helped clean up the tableware, and then was driven out of the kitchen by Xi Muzhen.

"You're short on time, so hurry up and finish the drawing. I can handle these things myself!"

Shen Xin could only go back to the studio, picked up the dip pen again, and continued to ink the manga.

There are many types of dip pens. The chief writer of manga usually chooses G pen. The reason is that the nib of G pen is flexible and can change the thickness of the line according to the strength of the hand. The mood of the cartoonist is shown in the line through the change of the line. On paper, and because of this, the G-Pen is more difficult to use than other types of dip pens.

After the host went to university, the dip pen became his main drawing tool. Compared with the disposable needle pen, the price of the dip pen is cheaper. It is for this reason that when Shen Xin uses the dip pen, his fingers do not move. It will look too stiff, at least a lot stronger than newcomer cartoonists.

The pen quickly slid across the manuscript paper, and after a few minutes, the outline of this page of manuscript was finally over.

Shen Xin picked up the manuscript paper and looked at it carefully for a moment, with a satisfied smile on her face.
