Dead after eight years [rebirth]

Zhang Ci'an sent a message that night, he made an appointment for Cheng Shuibei to meet at the cafe on Saturday afternoon, and Uncle En would accompany him there, telling him not to be nervous.

It is impossible not to be nervous. Cheng Shuibei was still a child when he met Dou Shuyi in his previous life. Now, not to mention how old he is, he still has many unexplainable entanglements with other people's sons.

Xiao Cheng had a lot of anxiety about seeing his mother-in-law out of thin air. On the first night of the meeting, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep. He got up in the middle of the night and gave Zhang Fei a bath twice, washing the dog until he doubted his life.

What should come has to come, Cheng Shuibei was extremely nervous, but he still got up early in the morning to pack himself up, and went to the cafe ahead of time to wait with the materials sent by Zhou Xingzhan.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Uncle En appeared at the door of the cafe, and Dou Shuyi got out of the car, wearing sportswear without the appearance of a lady.

"Sorry for being late, today Xiaoci helped me make an appointment for the tennis team's training, it's late, do you mind if I have something to eat first?" Dou Shuyi went in and took off her scarf and sat opposite Cheng Shuibei, with Both his temperament and temperament were exactly the same as Cheng Shuibei's impression.

Auntie Dou used to be like this, cheerful and sunny, planting flowers and singing songs while writing books, and unexpectedly playing tennis now, she doesn’t look like she is in her 40s at all, Cheng Shuibei can call her a sister.

"Of course I don't mind. I'll order what you want to eat!" Cheng Shuibei quickly got up to help, but saw Uncle En take out a food box from behind, probably the food that Aunt Hu had prepared in advance.

Dou Shuyi put out the food box and smiled to make a relief: "Can I order a glass of juice for me?"

Cheng Shuibei nodded blankly, and obediently went to help buy juice.

This little episode relieved Cheng Shuibei's nervousness a lot. He remembered Zhang Ci'an's words, "The nervousness is because he was not ready." He had been preparing for several days, and the dog had been washed twice. He just told Aunt Dou It's just two sentences, sure!

Cheng Shuibei kept typing, and when Dou Shuyi looked up after eating, he gave a just right smile.

"Okay, I'm done eating. I'm sorry for making you wait for me. Let's talk about business now?" Dou Shuyi cooperated with Uncle En to clean up the table, and stretched out her hand to invite Cheng Shuibei to sit opposite her. "Student, please sit down."

Classmate Xiao Cheng was in a daze, and sat down again holding the materials.

What he imagined was like lashing out at Fang Qiu in court, but in front of Dou Shuyi, there was only the obedience of being told to stand and never sit.

Dou Shuyi saw that he had no intention of speaking for a long time, and thinking of her son's instructions, she took the initiative to ease the atmosphere: "I heard from Xiaoci that you are his friend. Classmate, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Auntie, my name is Cheng Shuibei, you can just call me Xiaobei," Cheng Shuibei finally came back to his senses, and spread out the pile of things in his arms to show Dou Shuyi, "It's like this, our magazine wants to share with you Tell me about the manga change of "Dragon Slaying Boy"."

Dou Shuyi glanced at the label of "God's Fire" on the table, and said bluntly without interest: "I mean, your boss should already know, I think it's good for Zhou Xingyan to have hobbies, but from my personal point of view, at present There is no plan to cooperate in this regard, do you have other things?"

The "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship" that was so warm just now became tense in an instant, and Cheng Shuibei's heartstrings tensed.

But everyone is here, and for the sake of Zhou Xingzhan's happiness, he can't just give up. Cheng Shuibei pushed Luo Tong's drawing forward: "Aunt Dou, I understand your thoughts, I want to give up first." Let me show you something, okay?"

This "auntie" called them back to the warm atmosphere just now, Dou Shuyi nodded, and Cheng Shuibei mustered up the courage to show Luo Tong's drawing.

"...These are the relevant materials of Ms. Luo Tong's last work. "Grass and Tree Story" has a great response now, and most young people are beginning to pursue this style. These comic books are given to you. If you are interested, you can Take it back and show it to Zhang Ci'an." Cheng Shuibei sorted out the pile of materials on the left, and Dou Shuyi didn't have much reaction after hearing this, but just smiled and accepted the comics for her son.

Cheng Shuibei took a deep breath and opened the drawing on the right.These are the character design and scene design of "The Scissor Boy Who Slayed the Dragon" by Luo Tong. Next to each drawing, there are densely packed small characters filled with design inspiration.

For example, in the image of the protagonist Xiaoyi when he was a child, there is really a baby bird on the hair like a bird's nest, a bell is tied on the wrist, and small flowers are embroidered on the trousers, how cute it is.

Standing next to Xiaoyi was his mother, a brave female warrior in armor, with the same bell pendant on her wrist as Xiaoyi.

Cheng Shuibei flipped through the pages one by one, speaking page by page, and uttered all the words he had prepared when he bathed the dog last night, while Dou Shuyi listened for half an hour without interrupting once.

"We all like your work very much, and Ms. Luo Tong has also put in a lot of effort. Combining her painting style with your story, I believe it will definitely create new sparks, and I hope you can think about it," Cheng said. Finally, Shui Bei turned the drawing back to Xiao Yi's page, and bowed awkwardly, "I'm done talking, thank you for agreeing to meet me today."

Dou Shuyi's eyes fell on the drawing thoughtfully.After a while, she pointed to Xiaoyi's image and asked Cheng Shuibei: "Do you know who the prototype of Xiaoyi is?"

"Could it be Zhang Ci'an?" Cheng Shuibei boldly guessed, but Xiaoyi's vivaciousness had nothing to do with Zhang Ci'an, an old scholar.

Dou Shuyi nodded affirmatively: "I don't know if you believe it or not, Xiaoci was so cute when she was young. Once he picked up an injured bird by the side of the road, and took care of it day and night without sleep, and the result was that his hair was messed up like a bird's nest. After recovering, the bird flew over his head, just like this, he thought he was going to be a mother at the time, and cried for several days... Alas, it's a pity that the little boy becomes less cute as he grows up, Zhang Ci'an would be happy if he had a bird's nest on his head now They're all overjoyed."

Dou Shuyi looked at the drawing and recalled the past, and gradually began to regret, feeling that her son, a schoolmaster, had grown crooked.

Changing into Zhang Ci'an's appearance that fascinates all beings is still called crooked, but Cheng Shuibei really doesn't know what is called straight.

"I heard that he is actively participating in club activities at school, and runs around outdoors with his classmates every day." Cheng Shuibei took advantage of Dou Shuyi's nostalgia for the past, and mentioned Zhang Ci'an's current situation.

Sure enough, Dou Shuyi's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Really, he didn't tell me...that's great, I always worry that he will be so heavy-hearted before he is 20 years old, and he will be as boring as his father when he is old , you can play with him more in the future!"

"Zhang Ci'an...was he like this when he was a child?" Cheng Shuibei asked.

It was rare for Dou Shuyi to be happy, and she held her chin to recall the past: "When he was still in my arms, he was quiet and quiet. Later, when he grew up, the child who was bigger than the bean was so deep that he was dying every day. I suspected that he had autism. Hurry up." I took him to see a doctor, but the doctor said that his IQ was too high, in other words, he was too smart to talk to us, and he was bored in the pile of books every day, and he didn’t get out in the sun once. It’s rare to grow so tall.”

"It's been like this for more than ten years. He never expresses anything, doesn't say anything he wants, and I haven't heard of any girl he likes. I even wonder if my son won't love others."

"But it's getting better recently. Last year, he didn't know why he had to repeat the study. If he repeats the study, he will repeat it. I am very happy that he stayed by my side this year. He seems to have suddenly become a normal child. , feeling melancholy, feeling lost, feeling happy, sometimes singing, and recently always urging me to play tennis. Xiao Ci is really different.”

Zhang Ci'an must have lost so much that his innate personality has changed.Cheng Shuibei firmly thought that he didn't love him, half of it was because of illness, and the other half was because of Zhang Ci'an's refusal to express himself.

Now he is still not sure whether the bond between them can be called a relationship, but as Dou Shuyi said, Zhang Ci'an is different.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you want to know what happened to him when he was a child? Let me tell you. When he was very young..."

Xiaoyi's image reminded Dou Shuyi of Zhang Ci'an's childhood, and she pulled Cheng Shuibei to tell a lot of embarrassing things about Professor Zhang's childhood, such as learning to wash clothes and using shampoo as laundry detergent, such as stealing the remote control at home to make a car Battery.

It turns out that the genius also made mistakes when he was a child, cried and was at a loss.Cheng Shuibei felt a little regretful that Zhang Cian had seen him when he was a child, but he hadn't seen Zhang Cian when he was a child.

"Xiaoci had a dream when he was very young. He wanted to become a knight and protect the one he loved. I asked him, 'Is that mother the princess you want to protect?' Xiaoci shook his head seriously, he Said mother you are not a princess, you are my warrior."

"My child is different from others. He is smart, but he is clumsy about emotions, but he is my child. Like Xiao Yi, he has red hair that is different, but he also has A mother like no other."

"So I wrote this story. Xiaoyi took her mother's scissors to slay a dragon. To love someone is to protect him. Xiaoyi protects his mother, and mother also protects Xiaoyi."

At the end of the story, the warrior soul from his mother sealed in the scissors helped Xiaoyi fulfill his final dream. The dragon was killed, and his lair was full of weapons and treasures. When Xiaoyi embarked on the future journey, he still only took Pick up the pair of scissors, mother's scissors.

"Before, I always disagreed with the manga change because the story was written for Xiaoci. I didn't want Xiaoyi to become someone's tool to make money. Auntie is not short of this copyright fee, but I feel that no one can draw Xiaoyi. cute."

"Thank you for showing me these today, and for telling me about Xiaoci at school." Dou Shuyi was about to leave, she took a photo of Xiaoyi's image with her mobile phone, "I want to take this painting back Let my son take a look and let Xiaoyi decide what to do next, is that okay?"

Cheng Shuibei was too excited to speak at this time, so he nodded quickly.

Dou Shuyi was willing to think about it again, and said that she would ask Zhang Ci'an's opinion, that is, there is still hope!

Dou Shuyi got up, and Uncle En turned around and gave Cheng Shuibei a thumbs up before going out, and then quickly went out and drove.

After they left, Cheng Shuibei clenched his fists and immediately called Zhou Xingzhan to say that there was hope. Boss Zhou almost fainted with joy when he heard that.

If comics ask questions one day, Cheng Shuibei can point to Xiaoyi who is on top of a bird's nest and ask Professor Zhang if he ever cried when he was a child because he was regarded as a mother bird.

Cheng Shuibei rode a small electric donkey to go home happily, and received an even bigger surprise as soon as he entered the community——Cheng Nan took Zhang Fei and ran wildly in the rained mud pit, one person and one dog were covered in mud spots .

The dog was washed for nothing.

Cheng Shuibei took the two restless geniuses home with one hand and one hand, pushed the brother into the bathroom, stuffed the dog into the bucket, and washed it for an hour.

Zhang Fei seemed to know that he was in a good mood, so he shook his ears and froth all over Xiao Cheng's body, and Cheng Shuibei was so angry that he patted the dog's head.

"I'm done washing, Cheng Shuibei, I'm going to call Brother Ci today, do you want to come together?"

Cheng Nan came out of the bathroom wiping his hair and asked Cheng Shuibei.

Cheng Shuibei would have flatly refused before, but thinking of the bird's nest on Xiaoyi's head, Cheng Shuibei really wanted to hear his voice.

"it is good."

Cheng Shuibei dried Zhang Fei's hair, played around and threw the dog on the sofa.

There was singing in the kitchen, Cheng Nan thought, Cheng Shuibei must be in a good mood today, and he should be able to score more than 90 points.

After dinner in the evening, Cheng Nan stopped watching Animal World, and urged Cheng Shuibei to call Yunan's man on the same bed with his mobile phone after taking the medicine.

Zhang Ci'an got connected quickly, Cheng Nan's first words were that Cheng Shuibei was also in front of him, and he had something to say to him.

Cheng Shuibei was betrayed by his brother and smiled embarrassedly.

"Thank you, I had a very smooth chat with Aunt Dou today."

Zhang Ci'an also laughed: "Did my mother complain to you again? She doesn't think I'm good at all."

"No," Cheng Shuibei retorted softly, "Auntie thinks you are very cute."

After Zhang Ci'an listened, he immediately asked, "What do you think?"

Cheng Shuibei pouted: "In my eyes, it's not cute at all."

Weird.

The author has something to say:

The latest episode seems to be too flat, I try to fast forward to the next knife point (it's not)
