Chapter 116: Liking is Enough
Child.
Qi Yan knew that the other party was calling him.
He was the only one wandering outside on this floor, and so far, he had only heard the strange sister tonight call him that.
Although it was difficult to look at that horrible face, but thinking of the compliment that didn't seem fake, I still mustered up the courage to turn around.
"What help?" he asked with his eyes downcast.
"I accidentally threw my hairband onto the wardrobe and I can't get it. You're taller than me, so please help me get it."
It was just a piece of cake, Qi Yan walked over without thinking much.
He didn't look at her until he walked up to her and noticed from the corner of his eye that she had changed her clothes. Her strange outfit turned into fluffy brown and gray pajamas, and the pointed leather shoes on her feet were replaced with soft and warm rabbit house slippers.
She must have taken a shower, because her body smelled of a rich, clean, and refreshing pomegranate scent.
She closed the door and walked in front to lead the way. Qi Yan followed behind with his head down, just in time to see the little brown tail at her waist twisting left and right as she walked.
The tail is short and round, and it twists and turns so cutely that people can't help but want to grab it in their hands and pinch and play with it.
He looked away. The specifications of this house were different from the Qi family's. It only had one bedroom and one living room, but the area was still large enough for two or three people to move around.
Maybe because we moved in too recently, the decoration is all original and there is not much personal style.
Gu Nan took him to the bedroom and pointed to the wardrobe against the wall and said, "It's right up there. Please help me."
There was a chair next to the cabinet, which she must have tried standing on before.
Qi Yan looked up at the height of the cabinet. It was almost at the top, no wonder she couldn't reach it.
He raised his hand and tried, his long arm reaching the top of the cabinet in an instant. He bent his thin wrist, and his bony fingers touched something with a slight grope.
He stood on tiptoe slightly, hooked his fingertips and pulled outward.
A silver retro lace wide headband appeared in her hand.
The headband had gathered some dust on top of the cabinet, so he dusted it off twice before handing it to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan took it.
Qi Yan's eyes subconsciously followed the headband upwards, and she was caught off guard when she saw Gu Nan casually putting the headband on his head. When she saw him looking over, she narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Kids nowadays are really good. I'm not even as tall as you when I stand on a chair."
No matter how terrible her makeup was before, her face after washing was so cute and charming. Her exaggerated green hair was braided into a fluffy pigtail and hung behind her head. She wore a silver retro lace headband, with bright eyes, pink lips, and a pure smile, just like the green elf, the son of nature in Western mythology.
Qi Yan was completely unable to connect the dirty Shamatte guy from before with the pure and fair forest girl in front of him.
He was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Gu Nan felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, thinking that he had made a fool of himself again like in the elevator, so he quickly walked to the mirror.
Fortunately, the headband was worn correctly, there were no vegetable leaves on the teeth, and there was nothing wrong with the pajamas.
Speaking of which, this face looks quite similar to Gu Nansheng's previous face, and also to her original face, so it's not difficult to adapt to it.
Qi Yan stared at the little tail at her tailbone. Every time the owner took small steps, the tail also twisted slightly, looking very vivid.
Gu Nan looked back and saw that he was still in a daze. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you scared by me?"
Qi Yan raised his eyes, his round deer eyes were crystal clear.
Gu Nan continued, "I mean in the elevator, I saw that you seemed very afraid of me."
Qi Yan paused and shook his head.
His expression was unnatural for a moment.
Gu Nan did not ignore his micro-expression and knew how insincere his shaking of his head was.
Not to mention him, even she herself was shocked.
But Qi Yan's duplicity and his efforts to conceal it are kind of cute.
Especially when he looked at her innocently, trying very hard and solemnly to convey the belief that he was not afraid, but his thick and long eyelashes trembled unruly, honestly and panickedly.
He looked like a naive little white rabbit, not at all like the executioner in the plot who killed his father and mother and caused the tragedy of wiping out the whole family.
Gu Nan wanted to laugh but couldn't. He glanced at his face and saw several bright red fingerprints clearly imprinted on his fair skin.
He had just experienced domestic violence and was kicked out of his home.
It was snowing heavily outside and the weather was freezing cold. He ran outside wearing only thin clothes.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. Come and sit for a while before you leave." After saying that, Gu Nan quickly went to the kitchen to make him a cup of hot tea and asked him to sit on the sofa.
Qi Yan didn't want to stay for long. It was not a big deal to just take a headband. Even if he was not there, Gu Nan could take it off by himself with some effort and fiddling with something.
But Gu Nan moved too quickly, and before he could say goodbye, she had already made the tea.
It would seem a bit ungrateful to insist on leaving. After all, a cup of tea only takes a few minutes, so it’s no big deal to finish it and then leave.
Gu Nan turned up the heating temperature very high and held a cup of boiling hot tea in his hand. Even though he was wearing thin clothes, his limbs were still irresistibly warmed up.
"Which university did you go to?" Gu Nan started the topic.
Qi Yan took a sip of the tea, wanting to finish it quickly. Upon hearing this, he whispered, "Tsing Hua University."
"So impressive, a prestigious school."
The full name of Tsinghua University in this world is Qingchong University, which is equivalent to Tsinghua University in real life. It is the top 1 university in China, and many people cannot get in even if they are blind.
"What major are you studying?" Gu Nan asked again.
"Animation." Qi Yan said.
"Have you thought about what kind of career you want to pursue in the future?" This is purely for the sake of conversation. You are only 19 years old and a freshman in college. You haven't even thought about taking the postgraduate entrance exam or the civil service exam. It's too early to talk about work.
But Qi Yan said without hesitation: "Draw comics."
Gu Nan was a little surprised, "Is this job prospect good?"
When drawing comics in the cyberpunk era, should we go for Renaissance or technological fantasy?
"No." Qi Yan said, "But I want to draw."
"You like it?"
Qi Yan held the half-drunk hot tea and said softly, "Hmm."
He knew this road would be difficult, but he just wanted to give it a try, even if no one cared and he got hurt.
Both his family and classmates thought his idea was ridiculous. They believed that AI could already meet human spiritual needs, that print media was almost extinct, and that no one wanted to read comics.
Besides, how can a mere flesh and blood body draw better than artificial intelligence?
Sometimes he would think this was ridiculous, but there was an inexplicable courage supporting his delusion.
Qi Yan thought he would hear another question or perfunctory response today, but he didn't expect a firm answer: "Liking you is enough."
He looked up blankly and blinked in disbelief.
