After Anohana became a viral sensation online.

Actually, it's not that no investment or cooperation opportunities came to us.

But Su Bai refused them all.

In his view, accepting these business collaborations would allow his studio to expand in the short term.

However, they are inevitably subject to the control of others.

More important than these things is being able to create freely.

If he were to let laymen guide him, they would ruin the classic animations in his mind.

However, the settlement of revenue from the anime series they upload themselves takes time, and Healing Studio remains the same humble studio.

To reward Shen Qingyue for her hard work.

Su Bai ordered a deluxe version of crayfish delivery, along with several cans of chilled beer.

In the studio, piles of discarded drafts were still scattered in the corners, and the air was filled with a peculiar aroma of ink mixed with crayfish.

Shen Qingyue's usual aloof goddess facade completely crumbled after three bottles of beer.

Her fair cheeks were flushed with a beautiful blush as she lay on the table piled high with sketches.

Her beautiful eyes held a hint of intoxication and deep resentment as she extended two slender fingers and gestured towards Su Bai.

"Two packs! Two whole packs!"

"Su Bai, do you know that I used up two whole packs of tissues when I was drawing the scene where Menma disappears in the last episode?!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances she had accumulated over the past two weeks.

"As I drew, tears streamed down my face, dripping onto the tablet. I drew, erased, and drew again. You're inhuman!"

"What kind of creator is like you, forcing artists to cry while complaining that their tears are affecting their work efficiency!"

She grew angrier as she spoke, grabbed an empty wine jar, and made a move to smash it at Su Bai.

"I'm warning you! For your next project, I'm begging you, okay?"

Shen Qingyue's tone softened, carrying a hint of pleading.

"Can't we make a real comedy? A pure romance, funny, and brainless one! If you keep drawing these 'healing' anime, I'm really going to get depressed!"

She was really scared.

Drawn to the beauty of a story, you pour your heart and soul into depicting it, only to have to tear that beauty apart with your own hands in the end.

This feeling is ten thousand times more painful than watching a tragedy directly.

Su Bai was peeling a crayfish when he heard this. He didn't answer immediately, but instead looked out the window.

Seeing Su Bai's nonchalant demeanor, Shen Qingyue's anger flared up again.

"Say something! Are you plotting how to kill someone again?"

Su Bai finally turned around and looked at Shen Qingyue, who was full of vigilance and looked like a cat with its fur standing on end. He then gave her an extremely sincere smile.

"rest assured."

He pulled out a tissue, wiped his hands, and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"I also feel that 'Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day' is too heavy and leaves a psychological shadow on the audience, which was not my intention."

Shen Qingyue looked at him suspiciously, her eyes saying, "I don't believe you at all."

Su Bai seemed oblivious to her doubts, his eyes sparkling with plans for the future, and continued speaking.

"So, my next project, which I mentioned to you last time, is about music, and the theme will definitely be positive!"

He leaned forward slightly and began to describe that beautiful blueprint in a highly infectious voice.

"The protagonist of the story is a piano prodigy who had to give up his dream for some reason. He meets a violinist girl who is as energetic as the sun. The two support and encourage each other, grow together, and eventually shine on the stage of music."

"Imagine that scene."

Su Bai's voice was incredibly seductive.

"Full of springtime colors, fluttering cherry blossoms, and melodious tunes! The core of the story is dreams and redemption! Absolutely inspiring, absolutely romantic!"

The beautiful words instantly struck Shen Qingyue's battered and bruised heart.

That image involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Under the cherry blossom tree, a boy and a girl in school uniforms, one playing the piano and the other the violin, the notes dancing in the sunlight.

Isn't this the art she's always dreamed of?

"real?"

The wariness and resentment in Shen Qingyue's eyes were instantly replaced by immense joy, rekindling her longing for art.

"Of course it's true."

Su Bai's smile was warm, and his eyes were impeccably sincere.

"Very good!"

Shen Qingyue breathed a long sigh of relief, completely relaxed. She raised the wine jug and clinked glasses with Su Bai, her face beaming with joy.

"It's a deal then! Cheers to our next pure love and inspirational anime!"

However, just as she tilted her head back and downed her beer in one gulp, she caught a glimpse of a fleeting smile on Su Bai's lips out of the corner of her eye.

The smile remained gentle, with a slightly unsettling curve.

"Thump."

Shen Qingyue's heart skipped a beat.

A strange chill crept up her spine.

The beer in her hand suddenly tasted bland.

What happened?

Why do I have such a bad feeling when it's such a wonderful setting?

Su Bai chuckled inwardly as he watched her adorable expression as she fell back into confusion and doubt.

Silly girl.

Youth certainly exists, and so do dreams.

But don't you know that the most beautiful cherry blossoms often bloom before they wither?

Compared to the heart-wrenching love and separation in "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day," some stories are destined for their ending from the very beginning.

The lie that I met you this spring, but was destined not to be with you until the next spring.

That sense of powerlessness as you watch the light go out is a more sophisticated form of healing for the audience.

Friend A, are you ready to welcome a spring without you?

......

Shen Qingyue has been sent home by Su Bai.

At this moment, only Su Bai remained in the huge studio.

Su Bai's consciousness sank deep into his mind.

The system panel quietly appeared in the field of vision the next second.

Total Depression Value: 132596

Easily surpass the 100,000 mark!

Immediately afterwards, a gold-plated system notification slowly appeared in the center of the panel.

[The "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" depressing mission is complete.]

Overall Rating: Perfect

[Comment: You have successfully ensured that an entire generation will forever remember the tears shed that summer.]

Almost simultaneously with the rating being announced, the entire system space was shaken!

[Congratulations, host, your accumulated depression value has exceeded 100000!]

[Successfully unlocked the anime "Your Lie in April".]

The complete set of information on animation production had already appeared in Su Bai's mind.

The core of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" is growth and farewell, and its essence is the separation from loved ones, one of the eight sufferings in Buddhism.

The core of "Your Lie in April" is burning with life and facing death head-on; its essence is the desire for what cannot be obtained.

Needless to say, the level of depression it causes is naturally even more painful than the former.
