The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

This sleep was so sound that Qiong stayed in bed until nine o'clock.

"Ernie?"

He rubbed his eyes and folded up the bedding on the floor.

Brother Xia Qiu must have gone to school at this time, Xiao Qiong realized this.

When I opened the door, the empty living room seemed lonely and cold, but a breakfast wrapped in plastic wrap on the dining table was still emitting steam.

Home...

..............................

"It hurts, it hurts, Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, please be gentler, Shizuka!"

Having his ears pulled, Xia Qiu begged for mercy.

"I admit that I was wrong to skip class yesterday, but there was a reason for it! Ah Jing, you can't wrongly accuse me."

"Oh? Can you tell me why?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka crossed her legs and listened to what excuses Xia Qiu could come up with for herself.

Touching his slightly red and swollen ears, Xia Qiu spoke to Hiratsuka Shizuka with a serious face.

"Go and save the lost girl."

…………

"go to hell!"

Sitting in the classroom, Xia Qiu was lying on the table with a distressed look on his face.

It's just a joke, why be so harsh on yourself?

Hmm... I feel like my butt has been kicked swollen. She is indeed an old woman that no one wants. It’s no wonder that blind dates often end in failure since she is so violent.

Silently, Xia Qiu subtracted ten points from his favorability towards Shizuka Hiratsuka in his heart.

"Why didn't you come yesterday?"

Ying Lili at the front table looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this side, then whispered to Xia Qiu.

"Yesterday, he must have been away on something. By the way, where is your manuscript? Send it to me and let my editor take a look if possible."

Ying Lili nodded, then sent the saved drawing to Xia Qiu's Line via her mobile phone.

Xia Qiu took out his cell phone to check it before class started.

Originally, Dengeki Bunko had urged Xia Qiu to find an artist. If there was no one, the library would arrange one for Xia Qiu.

But Xia Qiu told Changpu that he had a favorite painter and that the release date was approaching, so he urged Xia Qiu to produce the finished product as soon as possible.

After taking a look at the drawing that Ying Lili sent her, I found it was pretty good this time, and there were no major problems with the style.

After confirming that there were no problems with Ying Lili, Xia Qiu gave a copy of the finished product to Acorus and asked her to contact Ying Lili herself.

After seeing the satisfied look on Xia Qiu's face, Ying Lili felt a little happy in her heart, but she didn't reveal it on her face, and she still looked calm and composed.

"Does it seem like you haven't been so shady lately?"

Well... I feel that Xia Qiu looks more pleasing to the eye now, and more confident.

This is a change in a person's temperament, and Ying Lili can feel it.

And how come this guy is so good? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to imagine that Four Lies was written by someone of the same generation as me.

Hidden.

Hearing this, Xia Qiu raised his eyebrows. What are you talking about? You make me look like the dark goblin in the cave who can only laugh.

"I can only say that you didn't find me attractive before, right?"

"Pooh!"

Ying Lili blushed and secretly sighed.

Not only more confident, but also more shameless.

Afterwards, Ying Lili didn't dare to talk to Xia Qiu anymore because her group of friends from her circle came.

Eriri could only put on a smile and listen to them talking about topics like idols and fashion that she couldn't understand.

Well~ For Eriri, who only wears rustic green sportswear when going out, the topic of fashion is really giving her a headache.

Seeing this scene, Xia Qiu shook his head, feeling that Ying Lili was really tired, living her life according to other people's faces.

But it’s normal…

Isn't it true that a girl as dazzling as Eriri needs a normal social circle? If she reveals her true nature as a homebody, how can Eriri make friends at school?

There are gains and losses, that's all I can say.

It’s better for me to be a person who just needs to be a spectator. I don’t need to cater to others, nor do I need others to cater to me.

As a human being, it is better to live a relaxed and comfortable life.

The afternoon Chinese class began.

You can't sleep, be absent, or slack off in the old woman's class, otherwise Xia Qiu has reason to suspect that he will be attacked by an unknown force the moment he is taken into the office again.

Just grit your teeth and listen to the class.

Just when Xia Qiu was concentrating on listening to the class, he suddenly saw a new skill in his own character column.

【Learning level 1 (35/100)】

Is this okay? I focused on listening to the class and unexpectedly developed my learning skills.

Touching his chin, Xia Qiu thought.

Does this mean... that I might be able to become a top student in the future?

In the past, Xia Qiu didn't want to study mainly because he couldn't get used to Japanese courses. He had already returned all the high school knowledge to the teacher one day, and now he just sat in his seat with gritted teeth.

If you can improve your study skills, then wouldn’t it be just a matter of time before you become a top student?

Beautiful~

As expected of me, I am just so perfect.

After being a little narcissistic in his heart for a while, Xia Qiu suddenly wondered if Xiao Qiong was okay at home.

I left some money for myself and also made brunch. All I have to do is heat them up in the microwave. I think Xiao Qiong will eat them well.

Alas... After all, when I get my manuscript fee, I must rent a bigger house! After all, it is not a long-term solution to always let Xiao Qiong and I squeeze in this small space. Although one of us sleeps on the bed and the other sleeps on the floor.

But it's still not very convenient in the long run. And as she gets older, Xiao Qiong needs more private space of her own. After all, a girl is always together with a man who is a primary school student.

I somehow feel like the FBI will come to have some fun with me.

So, once the royalties arrive, the first priority is to find a more spacious and comfortable place to live. This will not only make the living environment better, but also leave enough personal space for each other.

There is also the issue of Xiaoqiong's schooling. The elementary school tuition and miscellaneous fees are another considerable expense.

Xiaoqiong's albinism needs treatment and she cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time.

I can only say that raising a child is indeed troublesome. If it were the old me, I would not have dared to take Xiao Qiong in even if I had a kind heart. I would not have been able to support the two of them even if I worked until I died. Now that the royalties guarantee their lives, they are not so difficult.

I still need to make more money.

I'll write the second volume of Four Lies tonight, and then it will be finished!

I guess Acorus would be scared if he saw it.

How can you be like Xia Qiu, where the second volume is already waiting to be released just as the previous volume is about to be released? The light novel industry is about to be crushed by you!

Generally speaking, it is normal for a roll of 100,000-character trolleys to last for half a year.

Freaks like Xia Qiu are rare.
