My Cartoonist Girlfriend

I feel like I'm going to be socially dead...

Suddenly the temperature dropped, and I was caught off guard. In the last month of the year, I caught the only severe cold this year.

Everyone should also pay attention to keep warm and avoid getting infected.

I'll lie down for another day today. I should feel better tomorrow and be able to get up and start writing.

One hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words.

Chapter 396 Painting (1/3)

The miserable plight of Shirogane Miyuki will not be mentioned again. After the afternoon's cherry blossom viewing and sketching activity was successfully concluded, everyone left the park, said goodbye and went home.

Takasu Ryuji and Oosaka Taiga, who were originally traveling the same way, said goodbye to Asakura Kaede and the others halfway through the journey and changed to another train line.

After watching the two people leave noisily, Eriri took Asakura Kaede's hand and said, "I don't know how long these two will take."

"It should be soon."

Nodding, Asakura Kaede said this.

After seeing some scenes today, he was not so worried anymore. He thought that after what he and Shirogane Miyuki said to him, Takasu Ryuji would have his own plans.

To be honest, anyone who knows Takasu Ryuji and Oosaka Taiga can see that the relationship between these two is definitely more than friends but less than lovers.

If someone had taken a little more initiative, just like Usami Mizuki's actions before, the situation would have been completely different.

As for Oosaka Taiga, who seems to have grown up but is still a tsundere character, in the end it is still Takasu Ryuji who has to take the initiative.

Looking up at the sky, Asakura Feng asked, "Eri, what do you want to eat for dinner? We've used up a lot of the ingredients at home today."

"Yeah~~~"

Tilting her head and leaning on Asakura Kaede's shoulder, Eriri said, "I'm not very hungry yet. I don't really want to eat rice. How about making something else?"

“I don’t eat rice.”

Asakura Feng thought for a moment and suggested, "Well, how about we make dumplings tonight? And we can make a few extra to store, whether for midnight snack or for breakfast."

"Okay!"

Ying Lili readily agreed: "Then let's eat dumplings, make a few more kinds of fillings!"

So, the two of them went to the supermarket, bought some ingredients for the filling and flour for the dumpling skins, and then returned home.

Let Eriri take a rest for a while while Asakura Kaede, a skilled worker, prepares the dumpling skins and fillings. When it's time to start wrapping, let Eriri take over.

As a result, he had just kneaded the dough halfway when Eriri started screaming.

"Ah! This girl Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

Turning around, I saw Ying Lili holding her phone and saying with a bitter face: "Feng Jun! Look at what that guy did!"

Turning the phone around, Asakura Kaede saw the tweet that Kasumigaoka Utaha had just posted.

There weren't too many words in the post, it just said that today he went out with Asakura Kaede and the others to appreciate the cherry blossoms and sketch, and that he also tried to paint.

Just below these words, Kasumigaoka Utaha also pasted her own drawing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha’s painting skills, well...how should I describe it?

Actually, she is not bad. She still has some basic skills in sketching. She is not too lazy in art class in school and basically draws seriously.

But in the eyes of Eriri, a professional, Kasumigaoka Utaha's paintings are really impossible to evaluate.

When Eriri saw it in the park before, she complained about Kasumigaoka Utaha's work more than once, and she even criticized it mercilessly from the perspectives of character proportions, facial features proportions, shadow details, etc.

Although he added at the end, "For a beginner, it's good enough."

But you don't have to think about it to know that Kasumigaoka Utaha definitely holds a grudge against Eriri.

Seeing Eriri's angry look, Asakura Feng smiled and patted her head and said, "Okay, it's not a big deal, just let the senior sister be a little arrogant, she can only be arrogant on Twitter."

What Asakura Kaede said is not wrong. After all, in reality, Kasumigaoka Utaha is a single dog. The thing that Eriri is not afraid of now is facing off against single dogs. It is really too easy!

"Yeah~~That makes sense."

Nodding, Eriri stood on tiptoe and kissed Asakura Feng, then said with a smile: "But I still can't let her go so easily. Hmph, just wait and see how I reply to her!"

After saying that, Eriri commented on Kasumigaoka Utaha's post in front of Asakura Kaede.

Kashiwagi Eri: [I won't say much about the comments I made this afternoon, but since you insisted on posting it without listening to my advice, I'm starting to consider whether to participate in the summer fan exhibition this year. For the work, use Kasumi Shiko-sensei as the prototype. I will draw every part of you very realistically, so that you can learn the skills of a professional painter! ]

Everyone naturally understands what fan exhibitions and works mean.

Although Eriri didn't read the follow-up, a large group of readers and fans who were not afraid of trouble quickly gathered under Kasumigaoka Utaha's post. They all agreed that Eriri should exhibit her works in the fan exhibition and said that they would definitely buy them.

Then, as expected, Kasumigaoka Utaha called.

Although Asakura Kaede was still cutting vegetables in the kitchen, she could still hear clearly the smug laughter of Eriri in the living room, which was so arrogant.

Soon, Ying Lili turned around with her phone in hand and said, "Feng Jun! Shi Yu will be over for dinner later, so we need to hurry!"

After being stunned for a moment, Asakura Feng still agreed, and his hands chopped the cabbage stuffing a little faster.

After the call, Eriri trotted over, put on an apron, washed her hands, and said, "I almost forgot, Shiyu's mom will also be out today, shopping with Aunt Taizi, Mom, and Aunt Lingzi. It seems that she will go to do some nursing or something, so the parents will have a meal together before returning. After she got home, she remembered that she had no place to eat dinner, and coupled with the reply I just sent her on Twitter, she decided to eat for free."

"Just to get a free meal?"

"Hehehe~~~" Ying Lili smiled proudly and said, "There is a new pastry shop opened near the station near her home. She will buy a box of the best-selling pastries here."

"You are really..."

Asakura Kaede really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't think that Kasumigaoka Utaha was really worried that Eriri would use her as the prototype for a book, and Eriri herself would definitely not do that.

I guess he really wants to come and have a free meal.

More than half an hour later, at 5:10, Kasumigaoka Utaha came over.

Putting down the snack box she brought, Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed Eriri's twin ponytails with both hands and said viciously, "Write a book, huh? Use me as the prototype, right? If you have the ability, just draw it and let's see it."

"Let go! Let go!"

Not willing to be outdone, Eriri reached out and put her hand on Kasumigaoka Utaha's waist and started tickling her, which saved her twin ponytails.

After fixing her braid, Eriri shot back, "Hmph, let me make dinner first, and then I'll teach you a lesson later!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha glared back without giving in, followed Eriri to the kitchen to help.

Chapter 397 I can’t draw in this book, but other things... (2/3)

It is naturally impossible to see dumplings with rice in Asakura Kaede's house.

With the help of two rookies, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, Asakura Kaede finally managed to wrap all the dumplings.

I made three kinds of dumplings today: cabbage and pork dumplings, three-fresh dumplings, and beef dumplings.

After washing the flour off his hands, Asakura Feng exhaled and said, "OK, excluding what we're going to eat tonight, the rest will be enough for a few meals."

Put the dumplings in a box and put them in the refrigerator. Next, it's time to cook the dumplings.

The amount of fried dumplings and boiled dumplings was half and half, just right.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha also likes to eat dumplings, she is surprisingly not the type to eat them with rice, because if the two are put together, there will be too many carbohydrates. Her body shape is just right now, and if she accidentally gets fatter, it will not be good.

Asakura Kaede was responsible for frying the dumplings, while Eriri was in charge of boiling them.

The water in the pot hasn't boiled yet, and Eriri will take this opportunity to chat with Kasumigaoka Utaha: "So, you really are exercising at home all the time?"

"if not?"

Spreading her hands, Kasumigaoka Utaha said helplessly, "I ate a little too much when I came to your house for dinner a few times before. Sometimes when we dine together outside, my appetite always increases when there are many people around. Then, I found that my weight has been increasing. I have to be vigilant."

As she spoke, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but twist her waist: "When I'm free at home, I've been doing yoga and have consulted professional yoga coaches. There are some effects. I've controlled my body shape pretty well, and at least there's no fat on my waist."

With a frown, Eriri bent down, put her hands on Kasumigaoka Utaha's waist, and squeezed it up and down.

"Hmm...it's definitely different from mine."

Before Kasumigaoka Utaha felt itchy, Eriri withdrew her hand and pinched her waist: "Although it's not as thin as mine, it feels surprisingly good to pinch it."

"...I always feel like you're calling me fat?"

"Hey, of course not~~Ah, the water is boiling!"

Seeing that the water was boiling, Ying Lili quickly put the dumplings in.

Eriri didn't wear a skirt when she went out today, but instead wore a pair of cropped pants. The clothes were also slim-fitting, so Kasumigaoka Utaha standing next to her could clearly see Eriri's slender waist.

I looked down at myself. Although I knew clearly that I had no excess fat on my waist and abdomen, the difference was quite big.

Shaking his head, he thought, it’s better not to compare different types.

After a while, the dumplings were ready. Asakura Feng served each of the three people a bowl of boiled dumplings. The fried dumplings were directly placed on a plate and brought to the table together.

Of course, there is no shortage of dipping sauces, whether it is vinegar or chili oil.

Looking at the fragrant dumplings, Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help but tremble a little: "I kind of regret coming here. I think I'll have to do an extra half an hour of yoga when I get home tonight."

"Hey, just add it." As she spoke, Ying Lili picked up a dumpling from the bowl and put it into her mouth without dipping it in anything, breathing heavily and saying, "Ha~~Ha~~~Woo... Delicious! It's three fresh delicacies! In my opinion, eating should be the first priority. At most, you can practice more later, but you must not make your stomach suffer. Life is short for a few decades. If you don't eat more delicious food, wouldn't that be a big loss?"

Although it sounded a bit exaggerated, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally agreed with Eriri's twisted logic. After saying "I'm ready", she couldn't wait to start eating.

Different from the fried dumplings you eat in restaurants, these are made at home with plenty of ingredients. When you open each dumpling, you can see the full filling and soup, which really whets your appetite.

Although three kinds of dumpling fillings are made, the taste will be slightly different after boiling and frying. Add the dipping sauce, it is really addictive to eat.

Halfway through eating, Eriri stopped and said, "Oh, I forgot to take a picture and tweet it!"

Asakura Feng swallowed the food in his mouth and said helplessly: "You, please don't post it online to torture people every time, right?"

Eriri is still fine now, she just releases poison during dinner time, and has not evolved to the point where she can release poison late at night. Asakura Kaede has been on guard against Eriri evolving to that point.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I've seen those photos on your Twitter before. To be honest, they really attract a lot of hatred, especially since you made them yourself."

"There's nothing we can do about it~~~"

Eriri shook her head, her twin ponytails swaying as she said, "I was just recording my daily life. If those netizens wanted to, they could post it, but only a few people did. And they all ate out, not cooked by themselves. Humph, not a single one of them could beat me."

Ever since she learned how to cook and her skills have gradually improved, Eriri's confidence in this area has also been growing.

But to be honest, among girls of the same age, there seem to be very few whose cooking skills are comparable to Eriri, whether it is Asakura Kaede or Kasumigaoka Utaha.

I guess Eriri will continue to show off like this until someone who can fight comes along.

After dinner and a short rest, Eriri returned to the studio and took out her sketchbook.

Seeing her actions, Asakura Feng asked in confusion: "Eri, you want to draw now?"

"Hmph~~~"

After a snort, Eriri glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, then sat down on the sofa, picked up a pen and started drawing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little uneasy, so she came to sit next to Eriri and asked, "You...are not really going to draw a book?"

Upon hearing this, Asakura Kaede became energetic.

Her hands kept moving, and while she was typing the line drawings bit by bit, Eriri shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I said I can't draw a book and I definitely can't, but... you can take a look first."

Although Eriri promised not to draw the book, Kasumigaoka Utaha became more and more worried the more she read it.

After a few minutes, she realized that the character she drew was not wearing any clothes.

Although it's just an outline, with no facial details, it's definitely a drawing of herself, right? No matter how you look at it, this long hair is definitely her, Kasumigaoka Utaha, right?

Quickly grabbing Eriri's hand holding the pen, Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a dark face: "Where are the clothes?"

"kindness?"

After staring blankly at Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri suddenly realized, "Oh~ Clothes, don't worry, I can draw them. Besides, I just drew an outline. I haven't even drawn the breasts yet! And Feng-jun is watching beside me, there's no way I can draw like that!"

Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Asakura Kaede, who immediately sat up straight, holding the remote control in his hand, staring straight at the TV in front of him.

Chapter 398 What if? (3/3)

Because it was not a very detailed painting, after more than ten minutes, Eriri officially finished it.

"It's done!"
