This Shura field is not very good!

Li Chen's expression was very bad, he stared at the screen for a long time, and squeezed out a word between his teeth.

"—That annoying guy is back."

········

Ye Fan has been immersed in a state of excitement for several days in a row, and today he got up early for an unprecedented time, and was ready to go at seven o'clock in the morning.

After receiving an unpublished update from his favorite cartoonist on his birthday, some time ago, he received exciting news—that cartoonist is coming to the local area to hold a signing event!

This is an unprecedented event.

Although the cartoonist is very popular, he almost never participates in events, and he doesn't even show up at the press conferences of comic adaptations of film and television dramas.

Although for the creator, the work is more worthy of attention than the author, but the cartoonist is too mysterious, and the discussion about his true identity has never stopped.

Many people think that he should be introverted and not sociable, or he is too sorry for his appearance, so he has been hiding behind the scenes.

After all, some pretty creators now use themselves as a selling point to attract attention.

But Ye Fan disagreed with this statement very much, for which he even argued with others on Weibo.

"He must have avoided the public eye because he wanted to concentrate on creating." Ye Fan said angrily, "How can someone who can draw such excellent works be so vulgar. Right, Li Chen."

"……Um."

For some reason, Li Chen smiled a little forcedly.

Today is the day when the signing will start.

A few days ago, he was dedicated to grabbing tickets in front of the computer, and finally got the VIP tickets for the signing event.

And there are two of them, his and Li Chen's.

Although Li Chen didn't directly express his appreciation for this cartoonist, Ye Fan found that he took it very seriously at the last comic exhibition.He might even frown in thought.Clearly a deep spiritual exchange is taking place.

Ye Fan believes that Li Chen will gain more from meeting the real person this time.

When we arrived at the signing event, there was already a long queue in front of the door.

Ye Fan clenched his fist: Spending a lot of money to grab VIP tickets was indeed the right choice.

"Okay, let's quickly enter through the passage over there." Ye Fan couldn't wait to go to the VIP entrance.

Li Chen stopped where he was.

"What's the matter, let's go."

"...I'd better wait outside."

"Eh??"

Ye Fan was very surprised.

When he sent a text message to invite Li Chen, although Li Chen hesitated a little, he still agreed.

But it was already at the door of the autograph signing, but Li Chen couldn't say what it meant.

"Don't be kidding, this ticket has cost me half a month's living expenses."

Time was tight, he didn't have time to ask Li Chen why he hesitated, so he directly dragged Li Chen to the entrance.

Li Chen frowned slightly, but when he saw his hand was being held, he didn't insist anymore.

However, Li Chen still couldn't help reminding——

"Hello, Ye Fan."

"what happened?"

"...Well, you'd better not expect too much from that person."

"what?"

"He's... different from what you imagined."

Ye Fan was taken aback. Ten minutes later, he understood the meaning of Li Chen's words in front of the signing table——

What's up with this feeling of being in a celebrity meeting by mistake!I'm sorry for the low-key and introverted appearance!

Who is that guy who can make his debut and is now helping female fans to read palms with a big smile!

······

In the teahouse next to the signing, Ye Fan was in a complicated mood.

Although the manga artist I like has a real face value and is eloquent and friendly, but what is this subtle sense of disobedience?

It’s as if you go into a roadside snack bar, and the waiter serves Michelin restaurant-level dishes and tells you that this is the vermicelli in clear soup you want.

No, no, you can't belittle your favorite cartoonist like this.I should be happy that my favorite cartoonist is both talented and beautiful.

As for the irresistible frivolity in the smile when helping female fans to read their palms...

Emmmmm......

Must be an illusion.

Yes, it's just because the cartoonist is too friendly, and it just matches the illusion brought by a good look.

However, he cared more about another matter than whether cartoonists were amiable or frivolous.

Glancing at Li Chen who was sitting across from him drinking tea, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Li Chen, have you really never seen him before?"

Li Chen paused: "No."

"Then why did you say in advance that he is different from what I imagined."

Li Chen took a sip of tea indifferently: "Someone I know mentioned it."

Ye Fan frowned.

Indeed, Li Chen was able to give him half a year's worth of unpublished manuscripts, which meant that even if he didn't know the cartoonist directly, there was a middleman.

but……

He was still skeptical: "But when I read the signature, the cartoonist kept staring at you."

"cough!"

Li Chen almost choked on his tea, coughed in embarrassment, and looked at Ye Fan in embarrassment: "Illusion."

Ye Fan was even more puzzled.

"No, although you didn't say anything the whole time, but before leaving, he specially gave you a bright smile."

"illusion."

Ye Fan blinked in confusion: "What's going on with Li Chen?"Obviously the manga artist's eyes are obvious, why did he force himself to lose sight.

Also, although cartoonists are very kind to all readers, the way they look at Li Chen is different.

Frowning slightly, he looked at Li Chen carefully.

He didn't have to work today, Li Chen didn't wear formal clothes.There is a little less alienation that is inaccessible to outsiders, and it looks more gentle.

Coupled with her gentle and beautiful appearance, many people secretly stared at her at the signing event.

Well……

His brow furrowed even tighter.

Because he was too familiar with Li Chen, he was already used to Li Chen's face.He didn't realize how surprised the stranger was when he saw Li Chen for the first time.

and so……

Blinking in a daze, could it be that the reason for the special attitude of the cartoonist is——

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, Li Chen interrupted his thoughts.

Ye Fan was startled, and quickly waved his hands: "No, nothing!"

Li Chen's eyes became more puzzled.

"It's really nothing—ah, there seems to be some snacks over there, I'll go buy some!"

He hurriedly fled the teahouse.

Tsk, the way of breaking the topic is too blunt.Ye Fan walked quickly, scolding himself secretly.

However, it's better than letting Li Chen know what he's thinking...

Thinking of the thought that flashed through his mind just now, Ye Fan still felt very awkward.

The cartoonist's eyes can be said to be straight, but because of this, I feel that the cartoonist has a crush on Li Chen.It is too much to think about.

Li Chen likes men, but not cartoonists.He was very enthusiastic to take a photo with the female fan just now.

I must have thought too much, the cartoonist just admired Li Chen's appearance.

People in this industry have a special pursuit of beauty, well, it must be so.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan also relaxed in his heart.Just about to go to the front desk to order some snacks for Li Chen to take, when he walked around the corner, he bumped into someone who was coming from the opposite side.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ye Fan apologized repeatedly, rubbing his sore nose.When he raised his head, he froze in place——

It's a cartoonist.

The cartoonist blinked: "Are you the reader who just participated in the book signing?"

Ye Fan was taken aback, and nodded quickly.

He was about to happily call out the cartoonist's name, but the cartoonist interrupted him with a smile.

"You don't need to use a pseudonym, just call me by my real name."

"Eh?"

"My name is Li Lang."

"...Li?"

"It's not Li, it's Li." The cartoonist corrected with a chuckle, deliberately emphasizing the third sound.

Ye Fan was startled, and nodded quickly, a little embarrassed.

Li and Li have different tones, but when placed in front of Lang, the pronunciation becomes exactly the same.Most people will automatically bring in the common "Li".But I was used to staying with Li Chen, so I subconsciously thought it was Li.

He himself was amused.

Li is not a common surname, how could it be such a coincidence that the cartoonist also happened to be named Li.

Make it like a brother.

Ye Fan casually said nonsense, breaking the embarrassment: "Mr. Li Lang's autographs are sold out, are you here for tea?"

"No, I'm here to find someone."

"Ok?"

Li Lang smiled slightly: "The one who was with you just now is also here."

······

Seeing Li Chen's obviously sunken face, Ye Fan was a little embarrassed.

Bringing strangers over suddenly is not good.However, the cartoonist he likes offered to meet Li Chen, and he couldn't make up a reason for his refusal when he was completely unprepared.

As an intermediary, Ye Fan cleared his throat unnaturally, breaking the silence——

"Well, Li Chen, I just met Mr. Li Lang, a cartoonist."

Li Chen snorted and turned his face away.

Ye Fan was taken aback: What's the matter with Li Chen's obviously unfriendly attitude.

Li Lang didn't care, "Oh, so your name is Li Chen, what a good name."

Ye Fan was stunned again: What's the matter with Li Lang's attitude, didn't Li Chen see the cold face just now?

"that……"

Just as Ye Fan was about to speak to save the tense atmosphere, Li Chen stood up suddenly: "Ye Fan, go back."

"Eh? But Mr. Li Lang said he has something to do with you."

Li Chen frowned and stopped, looking at Li Lang.

"Li Lang, I remember correctly, the signing of the second half will start in 10 minutes."

"Well, that's it."

"Then hurry up."

"Don't worry about me, I can catch up."

"I don't--!"

Li Chen's voice stopped suddenly.

Ye Fan opened his eyes slightly——

He saw Li Lang approaching Li Chen's ear suddenly, stuffing a business card into Li Chen's coat pocket with an ambiguous gesture.

"This is my phone number, remember to contact me."

After speaking, without waiting for the two to react, Li Lang turned and left.

Ye Fan was stunned for less than a second, and before he could react, he had already stopped in front of Li Lang.

Li Lang raised his eyebrows: "Is there something wrong?"

"You, why are you looking for Li Chen!"

"Can't you see it?" Li Lang was a little surprised:

"—I'm chasing him."
