Chapter 715

~5 min read 940 words

Jinwei Tong stared at the near-perfect rectangular parallelepiped sketch in her hand, her fingertips stroking the paper surface gently.

The basic skills indeed looked solid.

She thought to herself.

But the real difficulty of drawing lies in capturing dynamic human bodies and complex scenery.

Geometric bodies alone are far from enough to explain anything.

Thinking that he had just started today, his level must be limited.

If he only stayed at this kind of basic exercise, the progress would be too slow after all...

"It's drawn just so-so."

Jinwei Tong folded the drawing paper in half and put it away calmly.

"I'm going to take this drawing to show the young lady, no problem, right."

Natsume Chikage shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Whatever you want."

Jinwei Tong stood up slowly, turned to Natsume Ruri and Jiahe Lianxiao, and nodded slightly.

"The night is deep, I'm leaving."

Natsume Ruri waved her hand with a smile.

"Goodbye, Jinwei-sister."

Jiahe Lianxiao also hurriedly followed and nodded, her voice soft.

"Jinwei-sister... goodbye."

Jinwei Tong's response was just a very subtle nod.

Subsequently, she cast her gaze quietly toward Natsume Chikage.

Natsume Chikage felt a sense of helplessness, vaguely feeling that she was waiting for him to speak.

He had no choice but to stand up as well.

"I'll see you out."

Jinwei Tong, upon hearing this, seemed to have a trace of extremely faint, satisfied satisfaction flash across her expressionless face.

She finally took a step.

"Let's go."

Soon.

The two arrived at the entrance of the apartment building.

Outdoors in the middle of the night, the air was permeated with a cool dampness.

Jinwei Tong seemed to be particularly fond of the wind.

She closed her eyes slightly, tilted her face up, and let the night wind brush past her hair and cheeks.

She stood quietly in place for a few seconds, as if capturing the trajectory of the wind.

Until that gust of wind left completely, she stepped again, following Natsume Chikage who had already walked down a few steps.

Natsume Chikage looked back, his gaze subconsciously glancing at the neighbor's door that the moving company staff had been busy with yesterday.

At this moment, that door was tightly closed, silent, clearly empty inside.

Jinwei Tong keenly captured his gaze.

"Are you very curious about the situation inside the room now?"

"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Natsume Chikage paused his steps and shook his head.

"No."

Jinwei Tong turned her head, revealing a trace of vague curiosity.

"Why?"

Natsume Chikage looked at the tightly closed door and explained:

"There are too many variables, it's not certain that someone will really move in, so looking now doesn't make much sense."

Jinwei Tong's slender eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

"You don't want to move to a different house?"

Natsume Chikage nodded frankly.

"I do, why wouldn't I."

Jinwei Tong's gaze stayed on his face for a moment, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Then why say there are too many variables and it's not certain someone will move in?"

Natsume Chikage's tone was pragmatic.

"This matter hasn't even started yet, going in to look in advance doesn't have any substantive meaning."

"Once it's really done, naturally there will be plenty of time, there's no need for now."

Jinwei Tong blinked slightly.

This answer seemed to be somewhat beyond her expectations.

She didn't ask further.

Soon.

Natsume Chikage had already sent Jinwei Tong to her black luxury car parked on the side.

He stopped his steps and said goodbye:

"Pay attention to safety on your way back, I'll go back first."

Jinwei Tong nodded slightly and reached out to pull open the driver's side door.

Just as she was about to sit in, her movement paused.

She turned her face and threw down a sentence in that flat, waveless voice:

"I'll come to pick you up tomorrow."

Natsume Chikage was stunned.

"What? Come to pick me up?"

Jinwei Tong didn't explain.

She sat directly into the car, closed the door, and the engine made a low and steady starting sound.

"Hey?! What do you mean come to pick me up tomorrow?"

Natsume Chikage hurriedly asked.

Jinwei Tong lowered the car window, revealing half of her exquisite side profile.

"Don't run around tomorrow."

After saying this.

The car window rose silently, and the vehicle drove steadily into the night, the taillights soon disappearing at the street corner.

Natsume Chikage stood in place, looking dumbfounded.

This guy... is really self-willed to the extreme.

But what is she going to do with him tomorrow?

He couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head helplessly and turn back to his small room.

After returning.

He heard the voices of Natsume Ruri and Jiahe Lianxiao carrying anticipation.

"Brother, for our next manga, we still plan to draw shoujo manga, what do you think?"

"I also want to know... Natsume-brother's thoughts."

Natsume Chikage sat at the table, thought for a moment, and revealed a gentle smile.

"Although it's a pity it didn't pass this time, you now have the experience of creating this theme."

"So continuing to draw shoujo manga, I really think it's quite good."

Natsume Ruri heard this and was very happy, her eyes curved into crescents.

"Yeah, then we'll continue to draw shoujo manga."

Jiahe Lianxiao, however, twisted her fingers gently and muttered in a low voice:

"But... but the editor said that now we need to chase the heat and find gimmicks, this... how should we do this?"

Natsume Ruri usually created art drawings mostly, and only after truly contacting the manga industry did she understand the complexity within. ===== CHAPTER 716 =====
