My Cartoonist Girlfriend

................

As the days passed, the temperature dropped rapidly.

Finally, it is December.

"It's the end of the year."

Exhaling a breath of hot air, Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede beside her and said with a smile, "Hehe, this is going to be fun for us."

Winter is coming, and Asakura Kaede and Eriri have made sufficient preparations before going out. They have to bring scarves and gloves. However, when they were shopping in the mall a few days ago, Eriri saw a super long scarf, and she bought it immediately after she saw it. Now they are both wearing it, and there is still some room left when they put it together.

Asakura Feng smiled and gently pulled the scarf, letting Eriri lean on his shoulder, and said, "It's really interesting, but if you do this, Eriri, you won't be able to jump around!"

"Hey, when it's cold, your face will get cold if you run. I don't want that."

Eriri happily walked forward leaning on Asakura Kaede, thinking about Asakura Kaede's birthday in a few days, which was one of the important events in this December.

For this year's birthday, Asakura Kaede plans to have a small celebration with everyone during the school club, without having a party. Then the two families will have dinner together in the evening, and after that, it will be just him and Eriri's time.

Eriri had already prepared birthday presents and other things. Of course, in addition to the normal one, there was another one that had already been prepared. It was currently stored in the drawer of the cabinet in Eriri's original bedroom and was about to be unsealed.

Chapter 285 Time flies so fast (3/3)

Looking at the few leaves left on the trees on the street, Asakura Kaede's thoughts instantly went back to a year ago.

A year ago now, I had just started working on light novels and was still in junior high school, with the persona of a "cool and handsome guy" in the eyes of other people who didn't know me?

Thinking about it now, it seems as if it is right in front of me.

Looking at the girl walking beside him, her blonde twin ponytails were not tied up by a scarf, and they moved in strands with her brisk steps.

Everything seemed to have changed since the day they met at the fan convention.

Noticing Asakura Kaede's gaze, Eriri turned around. She didn't wear contact lenses today, but a pair of cute round-framed glasses. She smiled and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Eri, you look pretty."

"That's not it! The look in your eyes just now definitely showed you were thinking about something!"

After being exposed by Eriri, Asakura Feng smiled and shook his head and said, "Nothing, I'm just feeling that a year has passed so quickly. This time last year, I was still studying alone, and I was thinking about the novel on the way to school. And now, I'm with you, Eriri, wearing scarves like this and setting off together."

“Hehehe~~~~”

Eriri said in a smug voice, "I'm almost there too. Let me think about it. What was I doing at this time a year ago? Um...ah, it seems like I hadn't finished drawing the book for the fan exhibition yet. My mom kept pushing me all day and the deadline was approaching. I hadn't played the new game much, and I hadn't watched the new anime. Anyway, my life rhythm was super chaotic in the month before the fan exhibition started!"

"That's quite your style, Eriri. But it seems like something like this won't happen anymore."

"Yeah, that won't happen!" Eriri hugged Asakura Kaede's arm and walked forward, saying pauses, "I rest and get up on time every day. I feel that I have exercised more in the past few months than I have in the past ten years combined, and my health is getting better and better. Oh, and we even have a cat at home! Well... the only bad thing is that I have less time to play games and watch animations. This is very bad and needs to be improved! Ah!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Asakura Feng gently tapped his head.

"I see you just want to slack off at the end of the year."

"Hey, hey, don't find out." Ying Lili covered her head, stuck out her tongue cutely, and then began to explain, "Feng Jun, look, we have been busy for half a year, and we have saved a lot of manuscripts. We should take advantage of the time to have a good rest. Otherwise, let's play games tonight, okay?"

"You..."

Asakura Feng shook his head helplessly, but still agreed to Eriri's request: "Okay, then let's do it today. I'll grant you a day off. I'll prepare dinner for you when you get back, so just enjoy it."

"Great!!!"

Eriri jumped up excitedly, and then forgot that she was still wearing the couple's Asakura scarf connected to Asakura Kaede, and pulled the two of them, and the two of them bumped into each other again.

"Woo!!!"

Fortunately, there is a big height difference between the two of them, otherwise it would be painful no matter if they hit their heads or something else.

Leaning back on Asakura Feng's shoulder, Eriri relaxed for a moment before continuing, "Feng-jun, you're so nice all of a sudden. I won't be polite, I want fried chicken wings tonight!"

"I was wondering what you wanted to eat, is this it? It's very simple. We can go to the supermarket to buy some when we get home in the evening. We are running low on cat food at home, so we need to buy some as well as cat snacks."

“And catnip!”

"You don't want this one?"

Asakura Feng wanted to deny it without hesitation, because last time Eriri bought some catnip out of curiosity, the three cats in the house, one big and two small, couldn't stand it immediately and went crazy for half a day.

"Yeah~~ Buy it, there's no harm in it, as long as the cat likes it, it's quite interesting, just give a little bit each time!"

Eriri started her coquettish tactics again, sticking to Asakura Kaede and asking him to buy it for her.

In fact, Eriri is rich herself, and the finances of the two have been independent now, but Eriri just likes this feeling and is still as clingy as when the two first started living together.

Just as the two were discussing whether to buy catnip, two voices were heard from behind.

"You guys are as lively as ever this early in the morning."

It was Subaru Uchimaki’s voice.

"Involunteer, you have to look carefully, these two people are even more excessive than before, this scarf..."

This is Takasu's voice.

The two of them turned around and saw Uchimaki Subaru and Takasu Ryuji following behind them. Both of them were wearing thick clothes and were obviously afraid of the cold.

"Yo! Good morning!"

Asakura Kaede greeted with a smile.

"Good morning!" Ying Lili also waved happily.

"Good morning." x2

After saying hello and following to Asakura Kaede's side, Takasu Ryuji looked at the scarves they were wearing and said in surprise, "Your scarves are really long!"

Hearing this, Eriri immediately said, "Isn't that great? I saw it when I was shopping before and bought it right away! It's getting cold, so of course I have to wear a scarf!"

"Hiss! So this is what wearing a scarf means?" Takasu Ryuji looked at the two people tied together by the scarf and said in shock, "If they walk in sync, won't they pull each other?"

"No." x2

Asakura Kaede and Eriri answered in unison, and then Asakura Kaede explained, "You underestimate Eriri and me, don't you? We've been dating for so long, and we already have a tacit understanding of each other's pace when we go shopping. We don't need to say anything, and we walk in unison naturally."

"That's right!"

Eriri smiled and nodded: "Hehe, about these things, when you have a girlfriend in the future, you will naturally know. There is no need to say many things explicitly, and you will naturally have a tacit understanding! And the same goes for you, Neimu!"

"Hey? Why did it involve me?"

I originally thought that the internal circulation had nothing to do with me, but it turned out that it was talking about me.

Ying Lili glanced at him up and down and said, "Hehe, I won't go into details. Those who understand will understand."

"You...I really don't understand."

"Hehe, anyway, you just need to be more careful. You can stay at home, but don't lose sight of other sights."

After Eriri's meaningless reminder, Subaru Uchimaki was completely confused.

Ying Lili, an old riddle teller.

Chapter 286 Green Pepper Appears Again (1/3)

Eriri's words did leave Uchimaki Subaru a little confused, but he also knew that she wasn't the kind of person who would speak without a purpose, so he could only think about it on his own.

Looking at Eriri beside him, Asakura Feng asked in a weak voice: "So there is no progress?"

"Hmm."

Ying Lili nodded and replied softly: "I'll tell you at noon."

Asakura Feng also understood that it would be difficult to chat since they were on the road, so he suppressed his curiosity.

However, when Asakura Feng looked at Subaru Uchimaki, who was sitting a seat away, he knew that there had not been any good progress regarding Usami's previous invitation to him to come out and play.

Yes, if the progress was rapid, this person would not be Subaru Uchimaki.

When he arrived at the school, Kitamura Yusaku was on duty behind the school gate as usual, and he immediately saw Asakura Kaede and Eriri who were extremely conspicuous in the crowd.

After they came over, Kitamura said with a smile: "Hahaha, you two are really eye-catching."

"Good morning."

Asakura Feng raised her hand to greet him, and said, "You're here really early, but are you the only one here? Didn't Senior Kano come with you?"

"Well, the president has things to do elsewhere, so leave this to me in the morning."

Kitamura Yusaku looked at the scarves of Asakura Kaede and Eriri again and said in amazement, "You guys should also be careful about the occasion when showing your affection. There are so many single people in the school. Go in quickly."

Patting Kitamura's shoulder, Asakura Feng smiled and walked into the school gate with Eriri. Naturally, she felt the envious eyes of the students around her who came to school at the same time.

When Takasu Ryuji passed by Kitamura, he whispered, "I think they will continue to do similar things in the future."

"I thought so too." Kitamura Yusaku smiled bitterly, "It's just that our school doesn't prohibit dating, and these two guys are also celebrities in the school. As long as they don't go too far, no one will care."

Takasu Ryuji spread his hands, didn't talk much with Kitamura, and walked into the school gate.

As for the inner circle?

That guy was still recalling what was happening and was completely oblivious to what was happening around him. That was really amazing.

Arriving at the teaching building, under the gaze of many students, Asakura Feng took off the scarf wrapped around his and Eriri's necks and folded it, saying with a smile: "Whose place is this? It's too big."

"Hey, how about putting it in the club?"

Asakura Feng thought about it and thought it would be better to put it in the club. There was absolutely no room in the drawer of the classroom, so the only place to put it was in the club room.

"Okay, I'll go to the classroom first, then go to the club room and put the scarf away."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Feng-kun!"

Over the past six months, Eriri has gotten used to the looks from people her age. She can also tell that most of the looks from boys and girls are full of envy.

Huh~~ You may be envious of some of us, but Fengjun and I still have to study here for two more years!

At noon, Asakura Kaede and Eriri had already made an appointment, so naturally they did not go to the cafeteria with others, but went straight to the club activity room.

After turning on the air conditioner and the temperature in the room slowly rose, the two sat together and started eating lunch.

"Wow... Even though it's an insulated box, it's still not too hot at noon. I like to eat a hot lunch."

"Today was a mistake. Tomorrow we will go to the faculty office and use the microwave there to heat it up before eating."

"Hey, let's do it this way."

After taking a sip of the miso soup that Asakura poured for her, Eriri finally felt warm. She leaned against Asakura and happily started to eat.

While eating, Ying Lili talked about something that she didn't say in the morning.

"Didn't I suggest to Mizuki that she invite Uchimaki out to play? She actually did it and even invited Uchimaki to Akihabara. She also went to a store that sold cosplay costumes that I suggested. Unfortunately..."

"Huh? What's a pity?"

Asakura Feng originally thought that the follow-up should be easy to handle, whether it is experiencing cosplay together or letting Uchimaki take Usami to visit Akihabara, it can be a good way to bring the two closer. When Asakura Feng and Eriri first met, in addition to playing games, they also relied on playing in these places to slowly get familiar with each other.

With her mouth full of meat, Eriri said angrily, "In the end, Usami didn't have the courage to ask Uchimaki to play cosplay with her, and she ended up being chosen by Uchimaki. She herself became a ruthless dressing machine, and no photos were taken together. Although it was a little better when we were shopping in Akihabara later, Uchimaki didn't take into account Mizuki's acceptance ability and talked from beginning to end. Alas... I still overestimated Mizuki's ability to act, and underestimated Uchimaki's slowness."

Hearing Eriri's sigh, Asakura Kaede chuckled and said, "It's pretty much what I expected. Although Uchimaki is a otaku, I think the more important thing is that he is too straightforward. He is too straight-forward and most of the time he can't understand girls' feelings very well. This can be seen from the fact that he has been making Usami angry every other day since he joined the art club. And it's not intentional. He really didn't expect it."

"Ah~~~ What should I do then?"

"What else can we do? It depends on their own luck." Asakura Feng said calmly, "For this kind of thing, no matter how much we care, the advice we can give is still limited, because in the end they can only act on their own. Before the results come out, everything is just an unknown."

"Feng Jun, you are right. This is the only way."

Ying Lili nodded, glanced at her lunch box, her face changed, and she said angrily: "Feng Jun, why did you make green peppers again! When did you buy them? I should have watched you make your lunch box!"

"Hehe." Asakura Feng said with a smile, "Didn't I buy the vegetables yesterday? And this tastes different, Eriri, try it, the green pepper stuffed with meat is delicious! If it doesn't taste good, I will do all the housework for the next month."

"One...a month?!"

Ying Lili was shocked. One month's housework? What a huge stakes!

"Yes, one month." Asakura Feng nodded, "On the other hand, if my cooking is delicious, Eriri won't be picky about food in the future! Don't worry, I will try to make food that you didn't like before delicious."

"..."

Listening to Asakura Feng's words, Eriri frowned, but finally said: "Okay...Okay, I'll give it a try. After all, Feng-kun said so."

After saying that, he picked up a whole green pepper with trembling hands and saw the meat stuffed inside the opening. It smelled pretty good.

I opened my mouth and took a small bite, but the taste I had expected did not come out.
