Pei Xi subtly tightened his grip on the pen.
Just then, a loud bang came from the doorway, and Jiang Shuyu pushed the door open and entered. "Jiang Cheng, Pei Xi, look what I bought!"
The two immediately distanced themselves and tacitly looked away.
Jiang Cheng raised his hand to rub the back of his neck, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of water.
Jiang Shuyu had already walked over. He put what he was carrying on the table, saw Jiang Cheng standing by Pei Xi's table, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Pei Xi replied naturally, "Let him take a look and see if there are any problems with my drawing."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyu sighed, "His aesthetic sense is terrible, especially when it comes to painting."
Pei Xi raised an eyebrow slightly in confusion.
Jiang Shuyu explained, "Painting is inseparable from color, right? Look at the clothes he usually wears, they're all black, white and gray. What kind of aesthetic sensitivity could he possibly have?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Xi rested his chin on his hand and nodded seriously, "Yes, I think so too. He really can't come up with any technically sophisticated questions."
Jiang Cheng, who was drinking water nearby, was speechless.
Pei Xi then said, "Brother Jiang, could you take a look for me?"
Jiang Shuyu responded with a "okay," stood by the table, looked down at the screen, and asked, "Is this a big wolfhound?"
Pei Xi nodded.
To put it simply, calling it a large wolfhound wouldn't be wrong.
Jiang Shuyu nodded in satisfaction. "This image is good. How did you come up with it?"
Pei Xi pursed her lips, glancing casually to the side, "It's just... when I look up, inspiration strikes."
Jiang Shuyu gave a thumbs up, "You're truly amazing."
Pei Xi smiled and looked at Jiang Shuyu seriously, asking, "Is there anything that needs to be changed? I'll add color after you've made the changes."
Jiang Shuyu shook her head decisively, "No."
Pei Xi: "".
What's the difference between his two questions and the ones Jiang Cheng just asked...?
In the silence, Jiang Shuyu took a step back and pointed to the bag on the table. "Hey, I bought milk tea, one cup each. Come and try it."
Jiang Cheng was nearby, so he reached out and opened the bag. He happened to see that one of the cups had a label that said "Mango Pomelo Sago," and handed it directly to Pei Xi.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Shuyu immediately stopped his hand, her tone tinged with inexplicable heartache: "How can you be so clueless?"
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "?"
Jiang Shuyu took a deep breath. "You can't decide for yourself. You have to let the girl choose first and see which one she likes to drink."
Jiang Cheng: "......"
Upon seeing this, Pei Xi immediately took the milk tea from Jiang Cheng's hand, shook the cup, and said, "It's okay, Brother Jiang, I just love mango pomelo sago."
Jiang Shuyu was a little skeptical, thinking she was trying to help Jiang Cheng out of a tight spot, and asked again, "Really?"
Pei Xi nodded, his face sincere, "Really."
Jiang Shuyu was relieved and patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder.
His expression was rather meaningful.
It seems to be saying, "Keep learning, there's no end to learning, and there's a lot more to it than meets the eye."
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and returned to his seat.
Pei Xi had just taken a few sips when there was a knock on the door. It was a young man's voice: "Is Pei Xi home?"
She quickly stood up and replied, "I'm here."
The package she ordered has arrived.
She went outside, signed for the package at the door, and then came back in with the delivery box.
For work-related items, she filled in the studio's address, which was more convenient.
Jiang Shuyu casually asked, "What did you buy?"
Pei Xi had bought quite a few things these past few days, but she didn't know exactly what they were. She took a utility knife and started taking things apart, saying, "Let me open it up and take a look."
She quickly opened the box and found it was an acrylic message board she had bought.
The entire message board is shaped like a cat's head, about the width of a hand, and can stand on a table. You can write on it with a marker and jot down some to-do items.
It can be seen at a glance when placed on the table.
Pei Xi was afraid that she might forget something important, so she bought one to remind herself.
Pei Xi took out the acrylic sheet, and a rattling sound came from inside the box. Only then did he realize that there was something else inside.
She took it out; it was a calico cat figurine, which she placed on her computer screen as decoration.
She almost forgot that she had casually added this to her shopping cart to reach the minimum order amount.
Pei Xi glanced at his computer, then handed the little three-flower ornament to Jiang Cheng, saying, "I bought this as part of a bundle deal. My laptop can't use it, so you can use it."
Jiang Shuyu was taken aback upon hearing this and immediately looked over.
Just as he was about to say that Jiang Cheng was a complete straight man who didn't even know how to serve milk tea, let alone use those fancy things, he saw him obediently take the cat and place it in the upper left corner of the screen.
I even carefully adjusted the position.
Jiang Shuyu: "?"
He scratched his head, suddenly realizing that he might have underestimated Jiang Cheng's ambition.
After what he just said, he really got it.
Looking at the little calico cat on the computer screen that seemed so out of place with Jiang Cheng's demeanor, Jiang Shuyu secretly admired him. It was astonishing that someone could work so hard for the development of a game.
Even a cold, aloof person like Jiang Cheng can be gentle and accommodating to girls, always ready to help them.
What right does he have not to work hard?
Jiang Shuyu secretly urged himself on and immediately buried himself in hard work.
Of course, Jiang Shuyu wasn't the only one working diligently.
Pei Xi decided to spend an afternoon completing the character illustration. She adjusted some details and then began to color it with a brush.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she was almost finished, she raised her head, twisted her neck, and rubbed her slightly sore shoulders.
Then, as was his habit, he glanced at Jiang Cheng.
He continued typing intently, his gaze fixed on the keyboard.
Pei Xi watched for a while, picked up a marker, drew a few strokes on the acrylic board, then gently put it back and continued working with his head down.
Just as she lowered her head, Jiang Cheng suddenly looked up at her. He gazed tenderly at the top of her soft, black hair and her focused profile.
It's as if this action has been done countless times.
Just as he was about to look away, Jiang Cheng suddenly paused.
He saw the acrylic panel on Pei Xi's desk, facing him directly.
The black marker lines above outline a simple sketch.
It's a big wolfhound and a little calico dog.
They were head to head, very close together.
