Fool's Love

——I originally thought so.

"It's not an easy task to prepare the groundwork, or to put it another way, to wrap the table of dumplings well."

"Experience is needed. If there is not enough knowledge reserve, it is easy to fall into the state of "all plans are exhausted".

No, I want to correct what you just said, Yamagishi, "There are no easy things in this world!"

Masumi's words stopped here.I think he may have said too much, and he didn't suddenly come to his senses until now.

"Does this sound too serious?" he asked me in a low voice.

"It's not like what Masumi would say."

I said it in a joking tone.Masumi's expression immediately became embarrassing, he chose not to talk to me for the time being, and looked forward like a torch.

Teacher Shimoya was standing there giving a lecture, and he happened to talk about his previous experience as an editor.

"The cartoonist I was in charge of at the time was very tricky about how to describe the transition of emotion. At that time, I asked her, "Have you heard of the three-act structure?" She shook her head and said she didn't know. "

"A play in three acts."——Teacher Xiawu wrote this noun on the blackboard.He turned around and said to us: "Simply speaking, it is the three parts of "explaining, crisis, and climax", or the beginning, succession and transition.The emotions and storylines of the characters in the works can also be incorporated into this formula.In more detail..."

He raised one hand and drew a wave-like symbol, "At first it was a high point. What was the protagonist's past life like? Explain these basic backgrounds clearly. Then he encountered some crises. During this period, the protagonist A fighting spirit was born.

This is where the story begins.Then he encountered great difficulties when trying to solve the problem, and the story reached its lowest point here.

After several struggles with difficulties, the protagonist finally overcomes them and reaches the highest peak from the lowest valley-this is the structure of the three-act play.This is the answer I gave when the cartoonist wanted to describe the emotional changes but was unable to do so. "

For Masumi who doesn't know how to structure the plot, it is also a good solution.

I looked at Masumi, who was leaning forward slightly, listening intently.I'm really envious of his inexhaustible energy, and I'm at a loss just to fight homework comics.

After Masumi focused on listening to the class and stopped talking to me, drowsiness gradually captured me.

I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open, and I took a nap on the spot while maintaining the posture of stabilizing the drawing board with my wrist.

"You look haggard."

I remained in a dazed state until after part time was over, and I was packing my schoolbag when I suddenly heard Masumi's voice.

I recovered from my half-dream and half-awake, and turned to meet his worried eyes.I panicked all at once.

"No, it's just that there have been too many things recently, and they all piled up together..."

"Is it the manga you mentioned earlier, the manga you collaborated with?"

"No, this one is going well. It's more like going too smoothly... What's going wrong is something else."

I averted my eyes, trying to get away with his question.Masumi just looked straight at me, and I immediately had no way out.

"It's studies. My father thinks that I haven't paid attention to my studies recently, and the results of the previous quiz were also very bad. He is a person who is easy to get angry. He suddenly remembered it during dinner two days ago, and took this opportunity to criticize me. "

Among my relatives, I am most afraid of my father.He usually speaks very little, and his expression changes are not rich.

Many times I would try to speculate on his mood with trepidation, for fear that something wrong with me would make him violent and scold me.

Father was rarely angry, but to an astonishing degree, he was the kind of person who would explode after enduring to a certain extent.

And what I can't deny is that I have obviously inherited some of his characteristics in character.

When the incident happened, he might have encountered something bad during the day, and he became in a bad mood.

I was acutely aware of this the moment I saw him.I carefully avoided him and tried not to talk to him based on the principle of talking more and making mistakes, but he suddenly opened his mouth during dinner and talked about my studies.

This is precisely the field that I haven't talked about-during that time, I really neglected to study.When my father taught me, I just nodded and couldn't say anything else.

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite." Masumi frowned slightly, looking at me sympathetically.

After a while, he tilted his head to one side again, as if thinking: "So, what is Yamagishi's thinking? Are you going to focus on studying in the near future?"

"That's all I can do."

"How? Can you handle it?"

"Honestly, it's quite troublesome."

During this time I have been drawing and painting.In class, in leisure time.It's not because I'm hardworking, because the state of being a good person is completely different from doing a good job. For me, painting is relaxation.

Sometimes I wonder if I really like manga, or if I just use it as a means of escape.

In the past few days, I started to pick up the knowledge that I didn't listen to. Looking back, because I was neglecting my studies, the things I didn't understand had piled up like a mountain.

And I seem to have no other solution except to bite the bullet and learn.

"So, do you want me to help?"

"what?"

Masumi didn't look like he was joking at all.However, "help"?How to help?

"If you need tutoring, I can help." Masumi said, "I also want to help Shan'an. If there is something I am good at and needs my help, just wave to me and I will come over."

For now, I should be able to hold on for a while.

I thought so at the time, and expressed my willingness to refuse with Masumi tactfully.

Masumi still looked worried, and I totally understand him.At that time, my complexion was very ugly, as if a dying person was biting his last breath and driving his body.

If Masumi can help me, learning is his field.The reason why I refused was because I didn't want to bother Masumi.

At that time, I made up my mind, saying that since I had already rejected Masumi, I should regard it as having cut off my own career path and study without distraction!

——I originally thought so.

Ten days later, because of Waterloo in the latest quiz, I put down my self-esteem and obediently asked Masumi for help with my homework.
