Before graduating from university, Li Yi went to work in the Gugu comic platform in the provincial capital. After three months of internship, he successfully became a comic editor.

I rented a two-bedroom and one-living room to be far away from Xuancheng, and I have established a firm foothold in the provincial capital. I have graduated for more than a year and my life is still stable.

The only unsatisfactory thing is probably that she has been single all the time and sighs alone.

In fact, it is actually a bit of fun in life.

There is a coffee shop near the subway station that I usually take to work. Regardless of the time, whether it is rich or late, Li Yi will go to buy a cup of coffee every day before going to work.

One is to refresh oneself, the other is to...

"Do you still want a latte without sugar?" The boy's voice was clear and healthy, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and a dark brown apron worn by a coffee shop employee.

Holding a marker pen in his hand, he wrote Li Yi's name stroke by stroke on the white cup.

"Every time I write your name, I find it so difficult to write."

"Is it difficult?" Li Yi wrote on the glass table himself, "Isn't it just four fires?"

"I think it's quite complicated."

The boy turned around to grind the coffee, Li Yi leaned halfway in front of the counter, his eyes secretly glanced at him.

He has wheat-colored skin and is tall enough. He has small white teeth when he smiles, and he is sunny and healthy.

It's really good.

Li Yi clicked his tongue silently. If he just graduated, he would probably act decisively when he saw such resources.But after struggling in the society for a year, he had already seen the reality clearly in the lonely ocean.

In this world, especially in the provincial capital, "1" is a creature as precious as a giant panda.

What if this sunny and healthy young man is a sunny and healthy boy?

He doesn't want to do 1 with tears in his eyes.

"Do you want to drink it straight away or take it away?" the boy asked.

"Drink directly." Li Yi looked at the boy in front of him intently, and said casually.

The boy's ten fingers are long and well-proportioned, his nails are neatly trimmed, and the complexion of the palm is paler than that of the back of the hand.He took a paper holder from the box on the table and put it on the coffee cup, "Here you are, you're going to be late for work."

After speaking, he grinned.

Seeing that Li Yi got on the subway in a hurry, the coffee was squeezed out, and he lost his hand.

Just like this, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.

"Don't you college students go to class in the morning, Chang Qi?" Li Yi asked.

"I applied for a work-study program." Chang Qi ground his coffee nimbly, "I finished the required courses last semester, so this semester is relatively free."

Chang Qi is studying at the provincial capital university, and now he is a junior, and Li Yi is three years old.

"Young man is quite studious, hey, what's your major?" Li Yi asked tentatively, "Do you study physical education?"

After all, Chang Qi is tall and burly, and he is the tallest he has ever seen except for Li Yi's Xiao Xiaoyao, except Yao Ming.

On weekend mornings, there were fewer customers, and the store manager was not around, so Chang Qi leaned against the counter and chatted with Li Yi, "Come in."

Afraid that he might not understand, he explained again, "Comics and illustrations."

Li Yi and others, how could they not understand this? He is also a professional, but he is not a provincial university.

"Yo." Li Yi raised his eyebrows, gesturing with his hands in the air, "I saw you are so tall, I thought you were into sports..."

Chang Qi smiled, facing the sunshine in early summer, the light illuminated the dust in the air, and at the same time exuded brilliant colors outward, "You can't judge by appearance."

For a moment, Li Yi heard a different voice.

In order to cover up his expression, he hurriedly lowered his head and sipped his coffee, "There is a senior in your department who draws BL comics at our place."

"What?" Chang Qi didn't understand.

Li Yi scratched his head and reported his family background, "I am the editor of Gugu Comics Platform, we are recruiting comic authors, you have drawn comics, right?"

"Have you seen "Little Wolf Dog"?" Li Yi happened to have a sample of the newly published "Little Wolf Dog" in his bag, patted the cover, very proud, "This is drawn by the author under me, and it has been published. "

Chang Qi didn't speak, and stared at the cover of "Little Wolf Dog" for a few times, a little other emotion flashed in his eyes, and then his face turned red all of a sudden.

Li Yi thought that maybe the child was still young and steely, hadn't received such stimulation, and there were still customers in the store, so he quickly put away the comics.

"Anyway, we are now recruiting comic writers." Li Yi put down his coffee cup, "College students haven't found an internship unit yet, why don't you try to submit a manuscript?"

One day after get off work, Li Yi bought a bag of duck necks and duck racks to eat at home. After falling to the ground, he suddenly wanted to drink and eat some sweets, so he turned into a coffee shop.

"Hey, aren't you on the morning shift?" Li Yi was a little surprised to see Chang Qi in the coffee shop at night.

"I changed shifts with my colleagues, and I have something to do tomorrow morning, so I won't come." Chang Qi replied, "Stop drinking coffee at night, and eat something else?"

"I won't come tomorrow morning..." Li Yi's tone was obviously a little disappointed, "Which cake is delicious? Recommend it."

Chang Qi took out a piece of Black Forest cake from the cabinet, the surface was covered with chocolate crumbs, carefully packed it in a box, and walked to the cashier, "What? From what you think, it seems a little disappointed?"

"Do you have it?" Li Yi didn't know his tone just now, and reached out for the bag, "Give me a bag and I will take it away, how much is it?"

Chang Qi shrank his hand, Li Yi couldn't help but look up because he didn't get his own cake.

In the evening, the sky is filled with Huoshaoyun, and the clouds are flourishing and beautiful. The lights in the store are a little dim, and the smell of chocolate is still lingering on the tip of the nose.

There was a sudden flick on the forehead.

"I invite you to eat." Chang Qi smiled and swiped the barcode, and stuffed the bag into Li Yi's hand.

Li Yi's forehead still had the feeling of touch just now. After Chang Qi played it for a while, it seemed that there was still an echo in his mind, spreading from one end to the other, skipping the gully.

"What is that?" Seeing that Li Yi was in a daze, Chang Qi pointed to another bag in his hand.

"Desperate duck neck, not endless taste..." Li Yi felt a little delirious and couldn't speak smoothly.

"Okay." Chang Qi smiled and shrugged, "Be careful on the way back."

In the evening, Li Yi opened the cake box, took a spoon and dug out a piece, and the first bite in his mouth was so sweet that his back molars were about to fall out.

After a while, after a summer vacation without seeing Chang Qi, I waited until November.When Li Yi was at work, he routinely dealt with the submissions piled up in his mailbox, and a pseudonym like this caught his attention.

"Desperate Duck Neck".

The coffee in his mouth almost sprayed the screen.

Although he said "desperate duck neck" baldly before, he went home that day and dreamed of a guy who flicked his forehead all night, and after so long, he had long forgotten about the desperate duck neck.

In terms of the story and painting skills, it is good, at least Li Yi himself is watching it with gusto.With a few clicks of the mouse, the manuscript sent by Duck Neck is finished.

Li Yi was anxious and itchy, and immediately replied to the email.

"I accepted a new author a few days ago. The pen name is quite interesting, and the person is quite cute. I feel like a cute girl." In the coffee shop, Li Yi ordered a cup of latte without sugar as usual.

"Really?" Chang Qi froze, smiled as usual, and handed him a cup of hot latte, "Is it particularly cute? How cute?"

"It's so cute." Li Yi took the coffee, "It's definitely a cute girl."

"You shouldn't be judged by your appearance." Chang Qi suddenly said leisurely, "Then do you like it?"

"Just kidding." Li Yi picked another piece of cake and asked Chang Qi to take it away for him, "You should know what kind of cake I like."

In the previous contact, Li Yi confessed to Chang Qi that he was a crook.

"Do I like it this way?" Chang Qi smiled with his chin in his hands and showed his bright teeth.

"You?" Li Yi said dutifully, "Little puppy can grow up a few more years, I'm at work, see you tomorrow. I have to ask an old author to promote the new work of this cute girl with a duck neck today."

Chang Qi stared at his back and watched him go out.

So cute... don't you want it?

A few days later, Li Yi came to order angrily in the morning, "Do you remember the cute girl author I told you before? I'm so mad."

"What's wrong?" Chang Qi tried hard to control the expression on his face, the corners of his lips were only slightly raised.

"He's a man! He's actually a man!" Li Yi was filled with righteous indignation, tapping his fingers on the glass cabinet, "He still sends me pictures every day, such as hands and abs, he almost sent me a diao, he What exactly do you want to do???"

The smile on Chang Qi's face disappeared, and he was still a little worried. He frowned and said, "Is it annoying?"

"It's a bit." Li Yi pouted, and changed his tone, showing an expression that you understand, "But... you probably understand me hahahaha, I'm pretty good."

Chang Qi's pretty brows stretched out, and he smiled again, "Do you like it?"

Li Yi stared at the little milk dog in front of him for a few seconds, "Not to mention, but it's still quite eye-catching."

Chang Qi smiled again.

There were a few days when Li Yi didn't come in the morning, Chang Qi's part-time job was a bit boring, and he missed the time spent with Li Yi every morning.

A few days later, Li Yi came back and ordered a no-sugar latte as usual.

"Where did you go a few days ago?" Chang Qi asked as soon as he saw him, not realizing that the question he asked was beyond the relationship of ordinary friends.

"I've been back to my hometown in Xuancheng for a few days." Li Yi waved his hand, looking a little tired, "I met my family, old classmates, old friends..."

Li Yi lazily stated, Chang Qi listened while grinding coffee, and when he heard "meet the person I liked before", his hand shook, and for the first time, hot coffee spilled on the back of his hand .

"Hey, hey, did you spill it?" Li Yi stepped on his foot and looked with his head, "I'm in a hurry, so give it to me if you spill it."

Chang Qi lowered his head, quietly added a bunch of sugar and cream to the bitter coffee, and handed it to Li Yi, "Be careful on the road."

Li Yi got off the subway and arrived at the company, took a sip of coffee, and was almost sweetened to death.

Soon, he received a message from his author, "Desperate Duck Neck".

Desperate duck neck: Are you there qwq, would you mind showing me the storyboard of my next issue?
