The man rescued from Kabukicho

ridiculed by Ijuin,

It made Cilang a little unhappy. This handsome guy who is loved by all the girls in the school has no expression management in front of Yijiyuan.

Unconsciously puffing up his face slightly, he fought back: "You have such a bad mouth."

Turn the book in your hand to another page,

Yijuin seems to have heard no complaints,

Take it easy.

He didn't need to look up to know that Mochizuki Jirou wasn't really angry, he was an easy guess, and he clearly realized that Mochizuki Jirou had a lot of trust in him, and this trust had even turned into dependence, which was beyond the normal range.

Although, the two of them will become the current friend-like relationship, which is the result of Ijuin's semi-strong deliberate guidance after quickly seeing through Mochizuki Jiro's character,

But as the campus prince, Mochizuki Jirou, who is clearly aware of the fickleness of people's hearts,

to be so dependent on him,

But it was beyond his expectation.

until now,

Yijuin didn't understand the reason.

Things like observing weaknesses, misleading others, and attracting people's hearts,

He is self-taught, and has been handy since he was a child, but for Mochizuki Jirou,

In addition to reflexively designing close,

He hasn't decided on the follow-up plan at all, and he hasn't done anything special for Mochizuki, they just met and chatted on the rooftop, that's all.

Why Mochizuki was so dependent on him, he really didn't understand.

Perhaps staying beside Mochizuki can cause drowsiness. For example, just sitting on the roof together, not next to each other, is enough to make him feel comfortable and want to fall into a light sleep, so he has not thought about it for a long time. Alright, how to arrange Mochizuki Jirou.

It's not that he's dissatisfied with the status quo, anyone would be complacent to have such a special and sincere reliance on this beautiful school girl.The way Mochizuki looks at him often reminds him of the golden retriever that Mochizuki loves to paint—a really apt self-portrait.

If such a loyal, trustworthy and beautiful dog meets a bad owner in the future, it will be very miserable.

Yijuin thought so casually without intention but without malice, and then became completely rational in the next second, wondering in his mind, could these thoughts be his own subconscious excuses for the idea of ​​tying Mochizuki Jirou by his side?

interesting.

Cilang, who didn't know that he had become a golden retriever dog in Yijiyuan's mind, was indeed as Yijuyuan expected, and was not really angry.

After all, he was the one who did not write the essay properly, but drew pictures on the essay book.

Seeing that Yijuin read books and ignored people, Cilang said half complaining and half distressed: "But, I can't think of it. I don't know much about the end of the Tokugawa period. Although I made up a lot of books, I don't know what to write."

"Then why do you want to participate?" Yijiyuan commented unceremoniously, "Looking for trouble."

Yijiin was right, Cilang could only explain in a low voice without confidence: "Because the teacher asked..."

This seemed to confirm Yijiin's words, Cilang bit his lip and did not continue.

Will Yijuin think he is stupid and don't want to be friends with him?

White clouds floated in the blue sky one by one, it was obviously a good weather, but Cilang was full of troubles.

Yijiyuan put down the book and said blankly, "So, what story did you want to tell just now?"

Cilang sat up straight, looking at Yijiyuan with bright eyes: "It's my favorite picture book recently! It's called the story of "The Craftsman and the Ghost Six."

Yijiyuan didn't comment, but raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that he was listening.

The story is that once upon a time there was a craftsman who was ordered to build a bridge, but there was a ghost in the river, and the ghost always hindered the craftsman from building a bridge.

The craftsman has no way to complete the order, so he can only ask the ghost, what do you want to do?

The ghost said, if you must build a bridge here, you must first guess my name.

The craftsman had no choice but to run around to inquire, and finally learned that the name of this ghost was "Ghost Six".

Your name is Ghost Six, the artisan returned to the river and told the ghost.

So the ghost thanked the craftsman and disappeared, and the craftsman built the bridge.

This is a simple story, as is the case with picture books, but it is quite interesting, Ijuin thought with interest, ghosts who forget themselves after death, still insist on asking people to find their names back, if people really become ghosts It's really interesting that I'm still struggling with the "who am I" question.

It's just that Yijuin didn't expect that Mochizuki Jirou would like such a slightly sad story.

"...Do you think it's interesting?" After telling the story, Cilang's shining eyes gradually calmed down, and even became uncertain, because he was not sure how Yijuin felt about the story, and Yijuin always made people look at him. Out of emotion.

"It's very interesting," Ijuin said truthfully, "I just didn't expect you to like this type."

Feeling as happy as fireworks blooming, Cilang was instantly in high spirits, and chattered unconsciously: "I really like it! First of all, the painting is very good, and I will show it to you next time! And the craftsman, he is a very good person." , he didn't find someone to expel Guiliu, but obeyed Guiliu's wish, after going through so many difficulties, although it was for building a bridge, he really helped Guiliu get his name back! Then Guiliu, he must be I really wanted to get my name back, so I went to obstruct the craftsman, it’s really wonderful to be able to achieve my wish and become a Buddha!”

Cilang's opinion is indeed much more optimistic and cheerful, Yijiin thought.

Speaking of this, Cilang seemed a little hesitant to say it. He glanced at Yijiyuan before continuing to speak, his voice became quieter and softer, as if he was telling his thoughts: "I thought about it when I read it, if Ghost Six is ​​not I really forgot my name, but was I too lonely? Perhaps, he didn’t want everyone to forget him, so he stopped the craftsman and asked the craftsman to find his name. He actually wanted the craftsman to ask around. Let everyone think of 'there seems to be such a person', and then slowly gather various clues, at least the craftsman will know, 'ah, the ghost who hinders my bridge repair, it turned out to be such a person in his lifetime'. In this way, Gui Liu fulfilled his wish and disappeared. Isn't this also a good story?"

Isn't this version sadder?However, it seems to be more delicate and gentle?

Yijuin looked at Jirou's shining eyes eager for approval, and his eyes became more and more interested.

Maybe it should be said to be softened.

"It is indeed a very good story," Ijuin affirmed quite sincerely, "You are talented in this regard."

His heart was beating fast because he was so happy, Cirou adjusted his breathing and smiled embarrassedly.

At this time, Yijiyuan dragged his voice and said slowly: "Then, let me tell you a story too."

Ci Lang immediately became defensive, and said in disbelief, "Don't make fun of me again!"

Yijiyuan rolled up the book in his hand, knocked on his head, and did not reply to his remarks, but continued coldly: "Let me tell you one thing, 'How to determine the theme of the essay and collect information around the core? Write a call for essays' story."

"Ah, ah, long live Ijuin!"

"You... don't rush over suddenly."

For some reason, I recalled the episodes of getting along with each other in junior high school. Anyway, there was no one else in the study room. Cilang made a face at the draft that hadn’t made much progress. When He Chen came back at night, maybe they could talk about the story of "The Craftsman and the Ghost Six" , and then talk about the story of "how junior high school student Ijuin Kazuomi mocked his friend Mochizuki Jiro".

Shaking his head and smiling, the paintbrush, which had paused for a long time, continued to move on the draft.

After returning from Kyoto in early summer, Cilang had a lot of inspiration, and originally planned to start creating a new series of picture books immediately.

But because the trend of coloring books has risen again among the younger generation, and many scenes in the cat & dog series of picture books have been praised as "healing and gentle wind". Because of its popularity, many readers sent emails to the publishing house to request a separate coloring book. Of course, the publishing house seized this opportunity and asked Jiro to ask for some new pictures, which were assembled into a blank coloring book "Ijiin Haru's Healing Colors" for sale. It also synchronizes with the surprise linkage of the well-known coloring game.

As a result, when Jiro finished the series of coloring books, it was already autumn before he had time to continue to create a new series of picture books.

It is a pity that all the inspirations accumulated before were all rejected by Cilang himself, and the creation had to start from scratch.

While he was scribbling aimlessly on the paper, Cirou's cell phone rang.
