Don't be jealous of your daughter!

Chapter 10 The Back Garden of Social Animals

"Because you have been urging me to chase after your mother, and my life has undergone earth-shaking changes, so when I wanted to draw a portrait of you for you, I unconsciously thought of this image. Matthew stroked the brows and eyes of the little devil in the painting, the more satisfied he looked, the happier he looked.

Well... Miao Yue accepted this argument helplessly, after all, she also knew that in the world of two-dimensional dead houses, little devils and so on are all cute things.

Looking at the demonized woman in the painting a few more times, I didn't find it so annoying anymore.

"You don't like it, do you?" Matthew picked up the album and admired it. "To be honest, this is the work I am most satisfied with. When I used to paint, I often relied on my brain. My life is too ordinary, and it’s all trivial things that are not worth mentioning. But the little devil is full of flesh and blood, and it’s because of your arrival that I am inspired. Hey, if I draw it as a comic, I don’t know if anyone will read it .”

no?Miao Yue's mind was ringing alarm bells. She remembered that Lao Ma started his career with comics. Could it be that her famous works were based on her own image? ? ?Impossible, impossible, she must be superstitious, it is impossible for the current old horse to draw her unborn child, which does not conform to the law of causality in the macroscopic world.After she completes the task, I believe that the timeline will automatically restore to the development before she came back.

There must be nothing wrong... Miao Yue said to herself.

......

Since he didn't stay up late to draw pictures the day before, Matthew woke up energetically on the first day of the new year. He took out his mobile phone under the pillow and saw that it was only after 8 o'clock in the morning.

This was a miraculously beautiful morning for Matthew who was used to being out at night.

The last time she got up so early was on New Year's Day. Miao Yue knocked on the door of her home at 8 o'clock sharp, and her life as a salted fish was completely turned upside down from that moment on.Accompanied by my daughter, I read the thesis of the goddess, although it is still as obscure as a book from heaven, but I seem to be taking solid steps on the road to get closer to the goddess day by day.

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Matthew is a bit strange when he talks about it. Why can the other party stay in this era leisurely? Doesn't this girl want to go back to the future as soon as possible?

Ma Xiu went to the bathroom to clean himself up, and was about to go out to buy love breakfast for Miao Yue, but it was rare that he got up earlier than the little girl.

Although it is only a few dollars of pancakes and soy milk, it also contains a strong maternal love.

Matthew put on a thick down jacket, took the keys and was about to go out when the phone in his trousers pocket vibrated suddenly.

Matthew took out his cell phone and saw that the caller ID was "Senior Brother Liu".This is the editor-in-chief of the animation magazine where Matthew mainly works part-time.In the past, Matthew was just an ordinary high school student, but Brother Da Liu didn't value additional qualifications such as academic qualifications and certificates, so he gave Matthew a simple illustration and typesetting job.

For Matthew who had just "run away from home" at that time, this was a great kindness.She had thanked Brother Da Liu many times, but the other party just smiled lightly: "At that time, our magazine was just getting started, I just thought it was cheap to use you."

Yes, the original intention of Brother Da Liu to establish this animation magazine is just to provide a communication platform for those who love Two-dimensional culture, and it is purely for love.Brother Liu's family is well-off, but he really can't afford too much start-up capital, so when he first hired staff, he considered more cost-effectiveness.This is also the reason why Matthew was chosen. Who wouldn't want a cheap, hard-working, professional painter?

Matthew picked up the phone: "Hello, Senior Brother Liu."

"Good morning, are you up?" Brother Da Liu is a heavy addict of Happy Water in the Fat House, so his body management has failed. Hearing his simple and honest voice, one can imagine that he is a fat man of two hundred catties.

"Well, I'm going out to buy breakfast." Matthew said truthfully.

Brother Da Liu laughed heartily: "You didn't come to the previous two gatherings. This time it's winter vacation. Are you free? I'm going to invite everyone from the magazine to dinner at the old place at [-]:[-] noon. It's our community animal gathering." Oh, the back garden."

Indeed, she doesn't participate in many parties of the magazine, partly because she is too lazy to go out, partly because she is used to watching screens on the Internet, she is not interested in three-dimensional parties, just like she has never been to any comic exhibition Same as the scene.

Matthew scratched his head subconsciously, and didn't think of any reason to refuse, but Senior Brother Liu on the other end of the phone seemed to have insight into something, and said first: "This time, I really don't want to evade, it's a deal, I'll hang up first."

After all, without waiting for Matthew to react, he cut off the call quickly.

It seemed that the escape route was blocked, so Matthew pulled his hair twice.

She first went to the breakfast shop downstairs to buy breakfast for Miao Yue, and left a note indicating her whereabouts.Then, estimating the time, he rode his bicycle to the restaurant where the party was held.

Brother Da Liu said "the back garden of social animal gatherings" is a coffee shop opened in the alleys of the old city.The location is quite hidden, you need to check the map carefully.The owner of the coffee shop is not confused, he is a seasoned and authentic anime fan, and he hit it off with Brother Liu and the others at first sight.Therefore, whenever the magazine has any important events and needs to go out to celebrate, it will choose this coffee shop, and the boss will politely give a "[-]% discount for acquaintances".

Relying on scattered memories, Matthew finally found this coffee shop after turning nine twists and eighteen turns in the alley.The conspicuous signboard hangs at the entrance, but the font on it is a little faded due to the wind and sun.

Matthew took off the down jacket hat he had put on for the windshield when he was riding a bicycle, smoothed his long hair and walked to the coffee shop.

"Wow, are you a friend of Senior Brother Liu?" The boss in front of the counter in gold-rimmed glasses welcomed warmly, "I haven't seen you here for a long time, you must have fun today."

Matthew didn't expect the other party to remember him, so he smiled back.

In fact, not only the boss, but Matthew and some other employees of the magazine also don't know Brother Da Liu's real name, it's just that everyone is used to calling him by that name, just like a trademark certification.It's just that the boss is obviously much older than Brother Da Liu, and he is called by this name, which has an inexplicable cuteness.

Matthew walked inside, the layout of the coffee shop was very anime-style, and all kinds of anime posters and stickers that Matthew had seen and never seen were dazzling.Whether it is old or newly added, it has been well preserved without a trace of wrinkling or fading.

"Hey! This way!" Senior Brother Liu stood up unsteadily, and greeted Matthew with his plump arms.

......

On the other side, Miao Yue shuffled and came out of the room yawning. She didn't know what she was worried about last night, she kept tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, and only squinted for a while near dawn.

She soon found the cold pancakes and soy milk on the table, as well as the note under the breakfast.

Matthew's handwriting is in great contrast to his characters, it is rough and rough, somewhat masculine.

The note reads:

Miao Yue,

I went to dinner with friends from the magazine at noon.

This is for you to buy early, if you get up late, remember to eat it after heating,

Don't order junk food takeout for lunch,

I'll check the trash can when I get back!

"Hmph, then I'll throw the packaging bag into the public trash can downstairs after eating. The road is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high." Miao Yue curled her lips.

Of course, she finally followed Matthew's instructions and ordered relatively healthy home-cooked dishes.

She was arrogant in her heart: I am not obedient, I am tired of eating fried chicken and chips!That's right, that's it!

During Ma Xiu's holidays, Miao Yue was used to eating and bickering between the two of them, and now she was left alone to pick up the food, and she really felt a little empty in her heart that she didn't want to admit.

While Miao Yue was struggling to hold the soft and disobedient mapo tofu, the landline at home suddenly rang.

Miao Yue blamed in her heart: Ma, I didn't call to check your post, but you called first... Don't you really want to tell me not to eat junk food seriously...

"bell--"

Miao Yue picked up the phone lazily: "Hello—old horse—"

The voice is full of dragging and dragging, and it seems very impatient.

The other end of the phone fell into a mysterious silence for the next two seconds...

"What's wrong? Why don't you talk? Don't tell me I'm dead." Miao Yue was a little puzzled.

"Is this Matthew's house...?" A hesitant male voice came.

"Huh??? Man!!!" Miao Yue was so frightened that she almost put down the phone.

The other party was obviously equally astonished: "I mean, ahem... I thought I had made a wrong call, but you called 'Lao Ma', right? I think you might know Matthew."

"I..." Miao Yue calmed down, no matter what kind of explanation she used to explain her relationship with Miao Yue, she had to wait for her to judge the man's origin first, "Hi sir, you are Matthew friends?"

"Ah...I...I am Matthew's brother, and my name is Ma Rui." The male voice introduced himself generously.

He is actually Lao Ma's elder brother, so according to his seniority, isn't he his uncle?

Of course, it is impossible for her to call the other party "uncle" so idiotically and reveal her old background.

But...in her memory from the future, the uncle is a deceased person...Old Ma goes to visit him in the cemetery alone every year, never bringing his mother and her with him.Lao Ma is quite superstitious in this regard, thinking that places with heavy yin energy are not good for health.

Reminiscent of the established ending in the future, Miao Yue listened to Ma Rui's voice again, and the heaviness in her heart could not be ignored...
