Chapter 118 Jumping

The tip of the pen rubbed against the manuscript paper, making a rustling sound.

The slender fingers are holding the G-pen tightly, as if it is a pre-set program, and every time you write, you don't think about it.

Xu Jie came behind the young man and glanced at the young man's workbench. The water on the table was put on the operating table before he left, but it didn't look like he drank much.

Xu Jie secretly sighed in his heart.

The young man's name is Han Ye, because he has been relatively eliminated in the past six months, and wanted to change himself, so he named him Tiaotiao, hoping that he could be more escaped. But so far, little has been achieved.

Recently, he has not been in the mood to read comics. Apart from "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "The Hunting Abyss", he knows nothing else, and usually just keeps holding a pen and drawing on paper.

His talent in comics, or in other words, his artistry, far surpassed those of his peers, and even surpassed Ye Hexu. Therefore, it is possible to imitate Ye Hexu's painting style effortlessly and continue the style of "Punishment".

However, such a person has some shortcomings in character.

Because of his girlfriend's betrayal half a year ago, he changed a lot. In other words, the reason why he draws "Crime and Punishment" now is more to escape.

Especially three or four days ago, it was said that when Han Ye was out shopping, he ran into his ex-girlfriend by accident. After she briefly greeted her, she showed off her sweetness to others in front of him.

Han Ye's mood suddenly became very bad.

In the next few days, when the condition is good, Han Ye can not sleep for 24 hours; if the condition is not good, he may sleep for 24 hours in a row.

Xu Jie was very worried about Han Ye's health.

Because of the nature of their profession, most cartoonists tend to stay at home, and they don’t deliberately exercise. In addition, they have a lot of work every day and the pressure brought by grades. Therefore, after working for a period of time, The cartoonist's body usually lights up in red.

Cartoonists like Han Ye, who work very irregularly, are even more likely to have hidden dangers in health.

"Mr. Han, you didn't eat well, did you? You didn't drink much water." Xu Jie put the hamburger and milk he bought on the table.

"The original manuscript has been drawn." Han Ye stopped writing and said softly.

"I know. Teacher Han's painting skills have always been fine." Xu Jie patted Han Ye's back lightly.

"Then...after you take away the drawing, please close the door." Han Ye didn't answer Xu Jie's question.

"When was the last time you slept?" Xu Jie frowned.

"I don't know." Han Ye replied without thinking.

"Then when are you going to sleep?" Xu Jie asked patiently, frowning slightly.

"In another two hours?" Han Ye continued to draw with his head down.

"Two hours?" Xu Jie squatted down and looked up at Han Ye's face. His eyes were dark and his lips were chapped. "Come out."

Xu Jie scolded in a low voice.

Han Ye didn't answer Xu Jie.

"I told you to come out!" Xu Jie slapped the table hard.

The eyes of the other three assistants immediately focused on Xu Jie.

Han Ye held the G pen and still wanted to paint, but Xu Jie snatched the G pen away, grabbed his collar with both hands, and lifted him up.

"Come out with me, I have something to say." Xu Jie glared at Han Ye.

Han Ye swayed his arms twice, and he didn't have any intention of resisting, so he was led by Xu Jie and walked towards the door.

The three assistants glanced sideways at Han Ye and remained silent until the door was closed. Then they breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the studio suddenly became much more relaxed.

Xu Jie pushed Han Ye to the corner, pressed his hands against the wall, and stared at him with both eyes.

"What on earth do you want to do? Self-harm? I have been an editor for four or five years, and I have never seen you like this. Do you think your body is only your own? No, many things have something to do with your health Great relationship.

The judging for the 'Newcomer Award' will begin soon. If you fail at this time, all your previous efforts will be gone. "

"Xu Jie, you said... are you looking for me only for the 'Newcomer Award'?" Han Ye asked back.

"Why do you think so?" Xu Jie's eyes widened, and Han Ye was surprised, "Of course not. We found you only because of your talent."

Although the "Newcomer Award" is also the main reason, if Han Ye is only of average level, the magazine will definitely not make great efforts to recruit him.

"It's really boring to know what talent or not...Maybe I just need to leave one work."

"You won't be overwhelmed, right?" Xu Jie asked in surprise.

"..."

"Why do so many people care about you?"

"Who cares about me? My ex-girlfriends put hats on me, who else cares about me? Even for book signings, readers care about Su Han. Even now, some readers think that the person who paints is Ye Teacher...what is the meaning of my existence?" Han Ye raised his head and looked at Xu Jie who stood in front of him.

"You really think so?" Xu Jie looked at Han Ye who looked disappointed.

Han Ye turned his head away and remained silent, his long hair covering his eyes.

"I see..." Xu Jie sighed. After all, Han Ye's emotions were too fragile.

After the girlfriend betrayed, I lacked a sense of security deep in my heart.

The last time the book was signed, some readers showed contempt after learning that he was not Ye Hexu, which was a big blow to him, "Come on, let me take you somewhere?"

"where?"

"Jiman Bookstore. Let me show you what you look like in the eyes of the store manager and readers."

Regardless of whether Han Ye was willing or not, Xu Jie pulled his wrist and walked downstairs.

When they came to Jiman, the store manager saw Xu Jie, and first said hello, and then when he saw Han Ye, his face immediately showed surprise, "Teacher Tiaotiao."

"You know me?" Han Ye was taken aback.

"Of course, you did a book signing here in January, right?" the store manager asked.

"Yeah." Han Ye's cheeks flushed slightly, but he didn't expect anyone to remember him.

"By the way, can you leave another autograph, my son likes your "Crime and Punishment" very much." The store manager said.

"He likes Teacher Su or Teacher Ye, right?" Han Ye turned his head.

"No, he said, his favorite cartoonist is you. Especially in the last few episodes, the pictures of "Crime and Punishment" are very expressive. He thinks those pictures are very real and better than Mr. Ye's paintings... Wait a moment .”

The store manager left quickly, and after a while, he took back a booklet of "Crime and Punishment", tore off the plastic cover, and opened the cover.

"Please, Miss Tiao."

"Huh? Are you a jumping teacher?"

A girl's voice came from behind Han Ye, and he turned his head quickly. The female high school student in front of him was looking at him in surprise, and she nodded slightly.

The store manager also assured her that the man in front of her was a genuine cartoonist Tiao Tiao.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy a copy of "Crime and Punishment." The girl excitedly ran to the "Crime and Punishment" booth.

"Did you see? Cartoonists have no chance to reach readers because of their profession. Just like now, although you don't know it, many readers are supporting you, and the magazine also has many letters from readers asking about your problems. The situation. If you want to be recognized by others, let "Punishment" get more honor." Xu Jie patted Han Ye on the shoulder and said softly.

Han Ye was signing a few readers, and his expression was no longer as depressed as it was at the beginning, but it wasn't much better either.

"The next period of time is very important, and we must adjust our mentality. The opponents for this rookie award are very strong." Xu Jie comforted.

"I want to visit the bookstore." Han Ye said suddenly.

"Ah?" Xu Jie was a little surprised and didn't react for a while, but Han Ye walked towards the juvenile comics area the next moment.

Xu Jie was afraid that something might happen to Han Ye, so he could only follow behind him.

Jumping around the bookstore for a long time, he lacked interest, and even saw "The Hunting Abyss", he was not interested in picking it up.

Just when Xu Jie thought that Han Ye would not buy any comics, Han Ye suddenly stopped and picked up a book.

Xu Jie's gaze immediately fell on the cover of the book. It was a long-haired girl with a sweet smile on her face and pure eyes looking at him.

""Y's"?" Xu Jie lost his voice.

"It's very warm...very beautiful, isn't it?" Han Ye turned the cover to Xu Jie, with some kind of anticipation in his eyes.

This guy still longs for love.

Xu Jie sighed inwardly.
