New comics and the college entrance examination
On the day the tutoring session ended, we all got together for a meal.
Lan Xing was driving Yu Shu on the way home.
High-rise buildings were built one after another, and the mirror light on the buildings in the development zone in the distance seemed to be able to shine on Yu Shu's face.
The daughter of the owner of a delicious roadside snack bar immigrated to Northern Europe, and the owner and his family moved in with his daughter. A sign saying "Shop for Rent" has been posted on the rolling shutter door.
A triangular pier blocked the old bridge.
— Notice to all citizens: blasting work will be carried out on the 10th of this month on the First Bridge of Spring City. A safety warning distance of 300 meters upstream and downstream of the First Bridge will be maintained, and a safety distance of 200 meters north and south...
To ensure the safety of people's lives and property, the road section will be closed from 6 pm that day...
The old streets and alleys along the way have changed a lot in just three years. After Yu Shu was reborn, she had more opportunities to travel through these streets and alleys.
"You tell me, should I paint it? Paint Spring City, which still has its old appearance?"
The hem of his clothes was gently pulled by the person behind him.
Turning a corner in front of the water, the bicycle path along the river winds and the street lights flicker.
The voice was asking him a question, but also seemed to be talking to itself.
"If you want to do it, then do it. You don't need to ask anyone else. I believe in you."
The next morning, everyone had a camera from Zhong Cui.
Along Bayi Avenue, Jiefang Road, Nancheng Road, Qianjin Road, Shandie Road...
Yu Shu took photos along the main roads and alleys near her and her friends' homes.
There were security guards at No. 3 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School, but Yu Shu could enter by scanning her face.
Every day in summer will melt you under the sun, and the cold air will turn into mist halfway through.
The bare floor of the corridor in the teaching building can reflect the shadows of two people, one in front and one behind.
The ivy is still clinging to the wall and surviving tenaciously.
The security guard carried a glass water bottle and checked each classroom.
"Drawing comics again?"
The security guard is very old, but the free reading materials at the school security booth are newspapers and Yu Shu's comics.
The comic "Our Four Seasons", which was later hailed as a campus masterpiece, was collected by several people through photography, accumulating a large amount of scene materials.
Zhong Cui contributed thousands of photos.
All of them are landscapes she had photographed before.
Yu Shu asked in the chat group of No. 3 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School: My new comic "Our Four Seasons" plans to depict our campus life. Is there anyone you don't want to appear in? I mean your story. If you don't want it to appear, I will skip it.
:! ! ! Draw me!
: When will it open?
: Our Four Seasons, so will you draw something about Spring City? Remember not to draw the bun shop at the gate of No. 3 Middle School. They changed owners, and now the buns are expensive and taste terrible...
: Can I send you a new photo? Is it a realistic one?
: The scene is reproduced one by one, and the characters are based on their characteristics, but not realistically, and try to be as beautiful as possible. By the way, I may artistically process the plot
Lao Yi lurked in the class group and watched for a long time.
: Xiaoyu, the college entrance examination is coming soon. Are you still busy? Do you want to finish the exam before painting?
Yu Shu has collected a lot of information. This time the story focuses on the rendering of the style and emotions. It tells the story of love, not novel ideas.
She could easily update the article slowly every four or five days until the college entrance examination is over.
She painted as much as she wanted without charging any fees.
"2008, June 3rd.
The entire Spring City was shrouded in the steam of the scorching sun. Pedestrians walking on the road felt like they were seeking Buddhist scriptures in the Flaming Mountain, with a distorted white picture before their eyes.
The emerald green leaves moved down layer by layer, and the wind suddenly blew open the old cross window glass, revealing the girl's face.
The sticky and yellowed desks and the sleepy classmates in the room formed a theater stage.
The protagonist in the play wakes up from a dream.
Thirty-year-old Yu Shu wakes up, and her four-season drama begins.
The boy under the wall was holding an orange basketball and smiling at the girl by the window.
Cicadas are chirping, birds are singing, and the minute hand of the clock points to sharp four o'clock.
The sunlight was so bright that the boy's eyelashes were so long that they covered his squinting eyes.
The story rewinds, and everything starts anew, these four seasons belong to us."
The story content does not include the comic plot.
It is the story of Yu Shu's rebirth in the parallel time and space imagined by Yu Shu, without the golden finger.
——When I lost all the gifts, the halo is gone
——Then I will try again until the seasons stop changing
In the comics, Lan Xing will never go abroad again.
Every season has shared memories.
In spring, with abundant rain, the delicious bamboo shoots are bubbling in the casserole, emitting a fragrant aroma.
In the summer, when the stove is steaming, open the freezer door and scoop out a bowl of cold mung bean porridge.
Autumn's cooler days are short, and this rich but not greasy steamed rice noodle pork is guaranteed to help you gain weight.
In winter, when it is frosty and freezing, everyone calls their friends to go to the cafeteria to eat porridge during breaks.
It is Yushu's story, and also the story of everyone spending four seasons after another in Spring City.
The story ends when everyone finishes the college entrance examination, which is exactly four seasons.
[The host's painting is so emotional, as if he is standing by and watching everyone]
The plot is a bit bland, but the painting style is not bland.
Yu Shu posted the first three episodes and also shared the brushes she used in "Four Seasons" in the comments section.
Yu Shu customized specific textures and watercolor effects. Of course, even if she used the brush, Yu Shu could not guarantee that the painting would be exactly like hers.
[Ah! I thought the master wouldn't draw any new comics before the college entrance examination, but he's started again.]
[The new comic story is so slow and comfortable. It makes me want to study hard, but I've been working for three years. Is Yushu a self-created character by the master?]
The Spring City described by the great author is so realistic. I even saw the breakfast shop downstairs from my house. It's open to the street in two directions, selling buns on one side and pancakes on the other. The blue and white roof juts out, and there are two folding tables.
【Friends who want to visit Spring City in the future can follow the locations in the comics, which are completely replicated.】
[I happily accept the brush, but I can't draw.]
Although I didn't have such a wonderful campus life, I still miss it. However, time travel is really popular this year. Yu Shu's story should be considered a rebirth.
[Even after being reborn, I still can't forget the college entrance exam. If it were me, I would definitely buy a lottery ticket. No, I don't remember any of the lottery numbers.]
If I could be reborn, I would definitely study hard. Even after all these years, I still dream about the day of the Gaokao. If I had been more skilled and careful, had I completed the test paper and filled in the questions in the right order, wouldn't things have been completely different?
It's too idealistic, but for some reason the tone of the story has a faint melancholy. The author should definitely not say this is a dream. The dream is all in vain, and in the end, the protagonist returns to be thirty years old and has accomplished nothing. Then I'll jump into the Yellow River right now and make you regret it.
【What are you regretting? Come back and harvest the corn. 】
Something happened that Yu Shu could not have imagined: two of her fans were about to get together.
Of course, it cannot be said that the eight characters are now drawing the second stroke.
The relationship between the two in the novel is like that of a tough-talking rich young man and a strong and beautiful woman who knows how to deal with pretentious people.
The real name of the national football team player who stood up is Lin Yifan, and the real name of the beef patty is Ling Wei.
Ling Wei's hometown is in the village. Her grandfather planted a large field of corn. In order to show his seriousness, Lin Yifan insisted on helping to harvest the corn. As a result, he was naturally inferior to Ling Wei.
Whether it can succeed remains to be seen.
But the corn still needs to be harvested.
Yu Shu saw familiar fans and liked their posts.
The editor of the website, who should have been the first to know about Yu Shu's work releases, only saw it now.
: Master, your new comic is so sudden. Have you really decided not to charge any fees? If not, the website will not be able to give you a large promotional page.
When Yu Shu saw her message, she remembered that the editor had told her to announce the release of her work in advance.
: There is no charge for it. Updates will be made at random, maybe every four, five, six days or even one week.
Yu Shu found that she had passed the period of great creative passion before. Perhaps because she won the award, she felt that she could spend more time on the portrayal of her work until she found a better creative direction.
This is a transition period for her.
Since Yu Shu’s new comic "Our Four Seasons" was first released, some industry insiders commented that it was a bit bland.
But in terms of touching people's hearts, "Our Four Seasons" is the most outstanding of her previous works.
That sentence:
——When I lost all the gifts, the halo is gone
——Then I will try again until the seasons stop changing
It is especially useful for teachers at No. 1 Middle School to use to encourage students after exams.
Don’t be afraid of failure, don’t fall into the vortex of waiting and waiting again. The starting line is different, but everyone’s end point is also different. If you don’t try, you will regret it forever.
"Our Four Seasons" began serialization in the summer of 2011 and ended in the summer of 2012.
The college entrance examination ended incredibly like this.
The night before the results were released, Yu Shu had another dream.
In the dream, she was still thirty years old, but she had not met the system.
After a class reunion, she went into an art studio and started learning painting from scratch.
Even though she is a beginner at the age of 30, her ability to create pictures remains passionate.
After waking up, the admissions teams from Teito University and Mizuki University came to visit.
Yu Shu met many classmates in the hotel booked by the admissions team.
Everyone truly let go of the tension they had felt after studying for so many years, sat together, and chatted with the senior students in charge of admissions.
Someone mentioned Yu Shu's comics.
"Come to our school and it will definitely inspire your passion for creation. Drawing three comics a year won't be a problem."
"Our school is also very good. You bring your own halo when you come here."
Lan Xing and Zhou Changqing sat on Yu Shu's left and right.
The admissions officer rubbed her chin and suddenly said, "The handsome guys in Spring City are pretty good, and there are quite a few handsome guys in Imperial Capital University too. Yu Shu, at this age, you can have a relationship~"
The two handsome guys looked at the person in the middle at the same time.
Zhong Cui was filming a video and happened to capture the two of them looking at Yu Shu.
And Yu Shu was really silent for a while.
Thinking seriously.
The results were announced in the afternoon and everyone started calling to check their scores.
Yu Shu's score is 661.
The admissions staff at the hotel were relieved. They had recruited the right people this time, and all of these students' scores exceeded the passing line.
Last year, I invited a student here. When I checked his grades in the afternoon, he was far from the passing line, so I had to send him back awkwardly.
The junior high school and high school class groups were sending messages frantically.
: Yu Shu, the provincial champion! Let our class 10 do something great! Ordinary classes can also have champions and runners-up.
: Our No.3 Middle School did very well in the exams this year. I mean, among our junior high school students, the top scorers in both arts and science were from our school.
: Lao Yi, are you still in class?
The group of No. 1 Middle School was saying that the top scorer in science was actually taken away by a student from the society.
: The first in science in our school said in space that the world has misled him. Fu Xue left, and here comes Lan Xing.
: Which school are you applying to? I plan to go to the capital.
: Half of our class will go to the capital. Anyway, I plan to apply to the People's University of the capital.
: Let's get together again, we won't see each other often in the future
: It’s not easy to see. I practice driving every day and I’m so tanned that I just want to go to Antarctica.
The property management of Wenxin Garden put up a banner:
Top scorers in both arts and science, full of literary spirit and good feng shui - all the owners of Wenxin Garden congratulate Yu Shu and Lan Xing on their good college entrance examination results
The owners of the community are very happy.
When Lan Xing's landlord knew that he was the top scorer in the imperial examination, he insisted on returning the rent for that year to him.
"Wenquxing has come down to earth. If you live here, it will be easier for me to sell my house in the future."
