Chapter 42 Comics
Ms. Miao took Ren Fenghe to wash her hair, and Jiang Shen had some time alone.
He was the only one left in the room. He stretched himself, sighed, and fell comfortably on the sofa, grabbing the tablet that was occupied by Ren Fenghe.
Looking at the tablet cover with My Little Pony stickers on it, Jiang Shenshen felt that this tablet no longer belonged to him.
Every time he realized that Yuanyuan took the tablet and kept it for a long time, he wanted to take it away.
But Yuanyuan is particularly good at testing his bottom line.
She was like a squirrel hiding food for the winter, and once she took the tablet she would not easily return it to him.
If she became addicted to watching the tablet after taking it away, he would have a reason to confiscate it. But even if she watched the tablet, she would not be addicted. Every fifteen minutes, she would run to the balcony to look out the window and do simple stretching techniques that she learned from somewhere. He couldn't find a reason to take it away even if he wanted to.
Now Yuanyuan was taken to wash her hair, and the tablet could finally return to his arms!
Jiang Shen picked up the tablet, and the first thing he did was to check the browsing history to make sure Yuanyuan had not accidentally seen any unhealthy content pushed on the Internet.
He scanned around and found that Yuanyuan's browsing history was mostly children's cartoons. What surprised him more was that Yuanyuan actually found their performances from somewhere and watched several of them.
Knowing that Yuanyuan had watched him and his teammates' performance without his knowledge, Jiang Shen felt inexplicably ashamed and embarrassed.
Fortunately, big data did not push any autograph sessions for Yuanyuan or any funny videos of him and his teammates, or um... CP videos edited by fans. It only pushed any beautiful and handsome performances.
Jiang Shen fulfilled his duties as a guardian and began to enjoy his time alone.
Although Yuanyuan is very cute and has inadvertently given him a lot of encouragement and comfort, every adult with a child desperately wants some space to be alone.
Jiang Shen looked at the time. Good, he should have an hour.
The first thing he did was to download a webtoon app. He had the same app on his phone, so he could finally watch it on a big screen.
After downloading, he logged into his account, went to his favorites with ease, clicked on the comic he was following and started reading the latest chapters.
On the big screen of the tablet, the cover page of the comic book has the words "Yang Xia" written in big letters.
Yes, Jiang Shen is following the comics drawn by Ms. Miao’s daughter.
That day, after he confirmed that this Yang Xia was that Yang Xia, he found the software for Yang Xia's comic serialization and began an endless pursuit of updates.
In online comics, writers who can update weekly can be said to be extremely hardworking and superior people, and updating every two weeks can be praised as guaranteed. Yang Xia draws both comics and illustrations, and with two identities, she cannot update weekly, and she has high requirements for comic images, so she only updates once a month.
Although there is a lot of content updated each time, the stomachs of those who keep up with the updates can never be satisfied.
The web comic that Jiang Shen was reading was exactly the unfinished comics that Ren Fenghe bought some time ago.
He finished reading the comics in one go and caught up with the latest webtoons. He also read all of Yangchun's other works and became a loyal fan of Yangchun's comics.
He even sent the comic to their team's group chat, but unfortunately there was no Korean translation of the comic, so his teammates couldn't read it even if they wanted to.
Jiang Shen, immersed in the world of comics, unknowingly finished reading all the updated content he had stored, and couldn't help but leave a comment after reading it.
"Looking at the direction of this story, it feels like it's almost over." He typed this sentence and posted it in the comment section.
The plot of Yang Xia's comics is not new, it is a typical monster-killing and level-up flow, but she has portrayed every character in her works very well. The deep friendship of the protagonists and their firm trust and support for each other have touched a large number of readers. Even the villains have rich story lines, and many people will shed tears for the villains' past.
Thinking that tomorrow, when Ms. Miao invites him and Yuanyuan to have New Year's Eve dinner, he will be able to meet Yang Xia, no, Teacher Yang Xia, he can't help but imagine what kind of person the other person is.
Anyone who can draw such delicate works must have a strong sense of life and the world.
As a fellow creator, he really wanted to learn from her and understand her experience and perspective in observing the world.
Yang Xia has a lot of fans, and soon his comment received a lot of likes, and many people had the same idea as him.
Jiang Shen, who was following the manga, understood the pain of curiosity. Now that the manga was indeed about to end, then...
The thought that had once flashed through his mind reappeared and intensified.
As a qualified guardian, Jiang Shen decided to start the bedtime story session which he had never tried before!
Just as he thought of this, Jiang Shen remembered the way Yuanyuan refused when he mentioned this last time.
At that time, she even pointed to the words in the picture book to prove that she could read and understand and did not need a bedtime story.
But picture books are picture books, and comics are comics. There are quite a few words in Yangchun's comics, and they don't have pinyin like picture books. When Yuanyuan read the comics, she probably just looked at the pictures, and probably didn't understand what the comics were about.
So, she should be okay with a comic book version of a bedtime story, right...?
Jiang Shen silently picked up the comic book for the first time. Although there was no one around him, he still looked around vigilantly, then opened the comic book, imitating the personalities of different characters and reciting the lines.
"Let him go!"
"Ha, you are a rookie, you don't know how high the sky is, do you think I, I, the king will listen to you?"
As Jiang Shen was reciting, he felt that this was too embarrassing and shameful, and he recited haltingly. When he thought about performing like this in front of Yuan Yuan, his earlobes turned red as if blood was dripping from them, and his face turned pink.
It’s not like he hasn’t acted before. Their team's variety show occasionally has special projects related to acting. At this time, he needs to play the role in the script, and there are also character settings when shooting MVs.
Although he felt embarrassed and ashamed because his teammates were embarrassed with him, he could still endure it.
But now, he has to play multiple roles by himself.
I always feel that Yuanyuan's disdainful look as she squinted at him is right in front of me...
Then, a big hand covered his face, hiding his red face.
How about, let’s leave the bedtime story for next time?
Or maybe instead of talking about comics, let’s just talk about normal children’s picture books?
At least this way I don't have to play so many roles.
How do those teachers and parents who imitate the characters in textbooks and picture books vividly overcome their shame, even though they obviously have more stage experience?
It’s too difficult, it’s really too difficult!
no! No matter how difficult it is, you have to try!
Jiang Shen, I can't believe any difficulty can knock you down!
Singing, dancing, and writing songs have knocked you down many times, but telling stories, such a simple thing, cannot knock you down!
So, Ren Fenghe, who was sitting on the bed with mixed feelings and in a trance, heard a knock on the door.
The visitor didn't understand her mood, and when he came in, he thought she was hot and opened the window.
When Ren Fenghe hinted to him that she was going to sleep and asked him to leave, the man stretched out his hands from behind his back.
In his hand was—a comic book?
Ren Fenghe looked at him suspiciously and said, "Books?"
Some time ago, after Ren Fenghe's comic book hiding incident ended in a big failure, she realized that as long as there was no problem with the content, Jiang Shen didn't mind her reading any comic books or other types of books. This made her feel relieved, and later she followed Ms. Miao to buy several other comic books.
She and Jiang Shen had already finished reading these comic books that they had bought the earliest, so why were they suddenly taken out again at this time?
Ren Fenghe was waiting for his answer, but after he took out the book, he took a deep breath, and then his face and ears turned red visibly, covering a large area.
Just now I asked if her blushing was due to heat, but now her face is even redder than hers.
Ren Fenghe was even more confused. She couldn't help but ask again: "What, what happened?"
During the time when Ren Fenghe came back from washing her hair but had not yet gone to bed, Jiang Shen had been preparing himself mentally. He felt that he was well prepared before coming in, but as soon as he came in, the feeling of shame surged up again.
He couldn't help but ask the question again: "You will support me no matter what I do, right?"
Ren Fenghe really wanted to say "yes" without hesitation, but at this moment, in this situation, she always felt that saying "yes" would result in a scene she had not expected.
So, she said hesitantly, "Uh," and uncertainly, "Really?"
Now it was Jiang Shen's turn to stare at her resentfully.
Considering that this was an emotionally sensitive and fragile patient, Ren Fenghe hurriedly smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I will support you."
At first glance, it looked fake. Jiang Shen really wanted to throw the book away and ruffle her hair wildly to make her change her fake smile into a frustrated one.
But even if it was fake at first glance, Jiang Shen still brainwashed himself. Yes, she would support him no matter what he did, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.
Isn't it just role-playing and telling a few short stories? It's not like he hasn't shot music videos, commercials, or pictorials before.
He can do it!
Jiang Shen cleared his throat and said, "It's like this. I think in order to make our relationship more intimate, I decided to tell you a bedtime story every night."
Ren Fenghe answered without hesitation: "No."
After saying "no" firmly, Ren Fenghe looked at Jiang Shen.
I thought Jiang Shen would continue to persuade her, but why did it feel like his expression became a little brighter?
Feel like the clouds are clearing up?
Ren Fenghe thought uncertainly.
But the feeling Jiang Shen gave her made her hesitate whether to refuse.
"Wait, what story are you going to tell?" Ren Fenghe changed the subject and said.
Jiang Shen picked up the comic book again, pointed to the cover and said, "This is the story of Aunt Miao's daughter's comic book."
The scale in Ren Fenghe's heart was tilting back and forth in hesitation. She was wondering whether to let Jiang Shen tell her or not.
After a while, she decided, "How about you tell me about it? Just tell me about it for a while and let me hear it."
After being rejected by Ren Fenghe, Jiang Shen comforted himself by saying, "You are not defeated by difficulties, it's Yuanyuan who said there is no need to tell stories." He was happy for a while and thought that it was great that he didn't have to feel embarrassed or ashamed anymore. But he didn't expect the turn of events to come so quickly.
He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Okay."
