Ye Qingqing was a little curious about Inukai Natsu's profession, so she couldn't help but ask. Inukai Natsu smiled shyly and said, "I'm a veterinarian. I'm the one who treats Kojiro's dogs."

It was because he and Kojiro shared a common hobby—they both loved cats and dogs—that they became good friends.

Ye Qingqing laughed, "It seems your friend has changed careers."

"Yes, Kojiro has always loved manga, but his parents and older brother all studied medicine, so he could only go to medical school. However, he only worked as an intern for a year, which he found very painful, so he decided to go back to drawing his beloved manga, and he's doing quite well now."

Inukai Natsu also introduced some manga characters drawn by her friend. In the past few years, she only drew illustrations for famous manga artists, and it was only in the last two years that she started to create her own works. Coincidentally, Ye Qingqing actually read one of them, which seemed to be about a school setting.

Because Ruan Yingzi loves reading comics, she has special channels and can always get a lot of newly serialized comics from China. Ye Qingqing isn't very interested in comics, but recently Ruan Yingzi has been strongly recommending this campus series, saying it's super funny.

Ye Qingqing didn't want to read them at first, but seeing Ruan Yingzi laughing so hard she cried every time she read them, she became interested and read a few books as well. Although they were a bit exaggerated, they were indeed quite funny. Ruan Yingzi even said that they were drawn by an unknown newcomer, but it turned out to be Inukai Natsu's friend!

"I've seen your friend's comics, they're really well drawn. Your friend will definitely become a comic master in the future," Ye Qingqing praised sincerely.

These words were actually spoken by Ruan Yingzi. The girl said that based on her more than ten years of experience reading comics, this campus series would definitely be a huge hit and become a classic. Ye Qingqing relayed Ruan Yingzi's words.

Natsumi Inukai was happy, but also a little puzzled, "My friend's comic book wasn't sold in China!"

“A friend of mine has connections; she buys directly from here. She gets her hands on every new comic book as soon as it comes out. She’s been particularly enthusiastic about your friend’s school series lately. That was what my friend just said. She’s also on vacation here. I’ll introduce you two sometime.”

Ye Qingqing and Inukai Natsu chatted all the way, and about half an hour later they arrived near his friend's house. It was a very ordinary neighborhood, and it seemed like they had been there for quite a while.

“This is the same neighborhood where my friend and his wife used to live. My friend’s parents and brother immigrated abroad six years ago, but my friend didn’t like the atmosphere there, so he came back and has been living here ever since.”

Inukai Natsumi called his friend, and a few minutes later, his friend came out. He was an ordinary-looking young man, but a bit overweight, and dressed very casually, unlike Inukai Natsumi who was dressed in a suit and looked particularly smart. This Mr. Sasaki Kojiro looked a bit sloppy and older.

A typical overweight, nerdy guy.

But he was holding a Labrador whose fur was a bit dull. It looked quite old and was sleeping comfortably in his arms with its eyes closed. Kojiro held it carefully, just like he was holding a child. It was clear that he had come to regard the dog as family and must be a soft-hearted person.

Kojiro took them to a coffee shop near the neighborhood, holding the dog the whole time. He looked at Ye Qingqing with shy but bright eyes. His brother hadn't lied to her; this Chinese girl was really beautiful. He had found his leading lady.

In high spirits, Kojiro was very patient. When Lu Mo asked about the past, he hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Because many people saw it with their own eyes. Mai, who was only four or five years old at the time, just said a few words in the park, and a dog next to her died inexplicably. This happened more than once, and I saw it myself."
