At noon, a light drizzle began to fall from the gloomy sky.
The construction noise that had been going on all morning finally stopped during lunch break.
Lin Yanwan called and ordered three dishes and a soup, two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and four bowls of rice. The price was not expensive, even less than eighty yuan.
She said that each person's daily meal allowance was only fifteen yuan, and any amount exceeding that would be paid out of pocket, but when actually ordering food, she only thought about making sure her family ate well.
She even thoughtfully prepared folding beds and blankets for everyone. After all, the animation industry is tough and tiring, and working overtime is common. With folding beds, people can lie down and rest instead of always lying on their desks, which is uncomfortable and doesn't allow them to sleep well.
After resting for nearly an hour with his eyes half-closed, Jiang Xia removed his eye mask after 2 a.m. and began working seriously again.
In the afternoon, he mainly explained the relevant issues of storyboarding to Wang Ming, analyzing them step by step to help him clarify his thoughts. To be honest, the storyboard he drew today was not much different from yesterday's.
After all, everyone has different images in their mind after reading the text, and it takes a long time to gradually change someone to a satisfactory level.
However, he can wait.
Amidst the constant sounds of renovation, the day gradually passed. Under Jiang Xia's guidance (and scolding), Wang Ming successfully completed the storyboard for today's script.
Jiang Xia also modified and improved the main character settings of Slam Dunk.
Wang Ming glanced at the character design drafts that Jiang Xia had placed aside. Each character was described in great detail, and there were even character design illustrations drawn in the blank spaces.
However, the art style is so different from Tom and Jerry that it doesn't look like it was drawn by the same person at all.
He took a closer look at the guy named Duanmu Huadao, who had a very unique head of red hair and was tagged with [protagonist], [genius basketball player], [introverted], [problem student], [possessing superhuman stamina and explosive power], and [his jumping ability and strength were also amazing].
Are you even human?
Wang Ming put down the design draft and looked at Jiang Xia. He had only spent one day perfecting the main characters of the animation. Nobody would dare to write it like that. You are the protagonist of the animation, aren't you?
Jiang Xia shrugged silently. "You only see how fast I draw. Actually, I've been thinking about this animation for a long time. I'm just showing the ideas in my head now."
Wang Ming's eyes twitched slightly. That guy was a pervert too!
However, his current focus is still on Tom and Jerry, and no matter how excellent Jiang Xia's new animation is, he will not participate.
At seven o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark outside.
The renovation team had finished get off work half an hour ago, and Li Weiya was also packing her things to go home.
"Ah Xia, aren't you leaving yet?" Li Weiya glanced at him.
"Godmother, you and Ah Ming go back first. We'll leave when the rain gets a little lighter."
Jiang Xia looked away from the rain outside the window, his expression one of helplessness. The rain had stopped for a while in the morning, then started drizzling again at noon, and intensified as soon as it got dark.
If I ride my bike back to school now, I'll definitely get soaked and will most likely catch a fever or a cold.
Li Weiya looked up at the thick, low-hanging clouds and guessed that the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon, and might even last for several days.
"Don't you two have umbrellas? Take mine, it's close by where I live, so it won't matter if I get wet on the way back."
Jiang Xia turned to look at Lin Yanwan. He seemed fine, but riding a bicycle with an umbrella was too dangerous. The wind was strong outside, and it was easy for him and the bicycle to fall over.
If we were to walk, it would normally take about an hour to get back to the dorm from here, and with this heavy rain now, it would only take even longer.
He shook his head. "Godmother, no need. You should go back first. The temperature in the north is dropping too quickly. You'll easily catch a cold if you go back in the rain. If it gets really heavy later, we can find a hotel nearby to spend the night."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanwan, who was quietly packing her things, blushed instantly.
So, booking a hotel room is probably his real intention!
Li Weiya was slightly taken aback, but then quickly realized what was happening and a playful smile appeared in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Xia.
So, did this young couple want to sleep together?
In that case, what you thought was a good intention would actually be bothering them.
Glancing at her goddaughter out of the corner of her eye, Lin Yanwan had her head down, her cheeks flushed red. Good heavens, it seemed like they were mutually attracted, or perhaps the arrow was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to be released.
Although she strongly disapproved of the two of them sleeping together so early, after all, they were only eighteen years old, Jiang Xia was not an ordinary person. He was very mature in all aspects, so as long as no one got pregnant, it would be fine.
“Okay, Ah Ming and I will go back first. If you need anything later, just give me a call,” she said.
"Okay, sure."
So, Li Weiya left with Wang Ming, giving him a meaningful smile before she left.
Young people these days have such short tempers; they'll book a hotel room at the drop of a hat. They're much more open-minded than people from my generation.
The office quickly fell silent, leaving only the two of them. Lin Yanwan turned to look at Jiang Xia, cautiously creating some distance between them, and said angrily, "Don't even think about it! I'm not going to a hotel with you!"
Jiang Xia blinked, both amused and exasperated. "Wife, are you overthinking this?"
She gave a soft snort. "I know you too well!"
Lin Yanwan knows Jiang Xia too well. He might already be thinking about how to take off her clothes as quickly as possible after they get to a hotel, and what positions to use to ravage her.
Most importantly, she said a lot of harsh and risqué things to him last night, and she's worried that they might all come true today.
"You're overthinking it. There are hidden cameras everywhere in the hotel. I don't want to see a blurry video of us wrestling on some unknown website someday."
Jiang Xia is right. In this era, information technology was just emerging, and the systems in various aspects were not as perfect as in later generations. Various acts of peeping and secret filming were rampant and simply impossible to control.
"Pah! Vulgar!"
Lin Yanwan can no longer take the word "hand-to-hand combat" seriously; any serious word coming out of his mouth will sound distorted.
"You're being so flirtatious, I'll hit you, you believe I?"
"Can you step on me? Step on me here."
Lin Yanwan "?"
Jiang Xia chuckled, so Lin Yanwan took off her shoe and decisively kicked him.
"Now you're at peace, aren't you?" Looking at his miserable expression, Lin Yanwan chuckled inwardly. "Want more? A few more kicks are fine."
"...No, no more."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Lin Yanwan laughed heartily, telling him that all he ever does is belittle himself.
Just then, an extremely bright bolt of lightning flashed across the window, illuminating the entire dark sky.
