My Cartoonist Girlfriend

"You, you, you... Asakura-kun, don't talk nonsense!"

"How could I say such nonsense?" Asakura Feng said solemnly, "I can 100% guarantee that this is true. Senior Shirogane definitely has romantic feelings for you."

After being "disclosed" by Asakura Kaede, Shinomiya Kaguya became shy and even forgot the original purpose of calling Asakura Kaede over.

Seeing this, Asakura Feng continued, "In short, I will tell you about this matter, but please don't let the senior know. Also, as someone who is already in love, I want to give you a little advice. In love, you can't always hold on to blind self-esteem and pride. Please think carefully about what you really want in your heart."

After saying that, without giving Shinomiya Kaguya a chance to respond, he walked towards Eriri.

After a few seconds, Shinomiya Kaguya came back to her senses and looked at Asakura Kaede's back, and whispered: "Pride and self-esteem... and what I want most?"

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

After returning safely, Asakura Kaede came directly to Eriri, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Huh, I'm back, I'm back."

"Feng Jun, Senior Sister didn't blame you, did she?"

"Don't worry." Asakura Feng raised his hand and made an OK gesture, saying, "I have a way to deal with it. Senior sister doesn't have the energy to blame me now."

Upon hearing this, Eriri looked at Shinomiya Kaguya who was walking back to Shirogane Miyuki with a shy expression, and was very curious about what Asakura Kaede had said.

"Feng... ah my milk tea!"

When I turned around, I saw Asakura Kaede biting the straw of her milk tea and took a big sip.

Chapter 182 Under the Fireworks (1/3)

"Mr. Feng!!!"

Seeing Asakura Feng taking a big sip of her milk tea, Eriri said angrily, "Don't come and steal mine when you finish your own so quickly!"

After swallowing the milk tea in his mouth, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "Ah, just one mouthful, Eriri, you are really stingy."

"Woo..."

Ying Lili didn't care and could only hurry to finish her milk tea.

In a few minutes, the fireworks display will begin, and more and more people are coming to this area.

At this moment, two more people trotted towards them.

"Sorry, we're late!"

There was a boy and a girl coming. The girl had short hair and looked cute, while the boy had a delicate face and was relatively shy.

Long Zhutao saw the two and said helplessly, "Hey, Kashiwagi, you volunteers work all day long, aren't you tired?"

"Of course I'm not tired. You don't understand the satisfaction that this brings us, Longzhu!"

The girl smiled and said, then came to Shinomiya Kaguya: "I'm sorry, Kaguya-san, I was busy with volunteer activities before and couldn't get away, so I didn't dare to come here until now."

Shaking her head, Shinomiya Kaguya chuckled and said, "It's okay, Kashiwagi-san. Thank you very much for what happened today."

Immediately afterwards, Kaguya Shinomiya introduced the man and woman to Asakura Kaede and the others.

The girl's name is Kashiwagi Nagisa and the boy's name is Tanuma Tsubasa. They are a couple and their identities are not ordinary. According to Ishigami Yu's explanation, everyone knows that Kashiwagi Nagisa is the daughter of the chairman of the Oto Shipbuilding Company and the granddaughter of the director of the Japan Business Federation. She can be said to be a rich lady who is not much different from Shinomiya Kaguya.

As for the boy, Tanuma Tsubasa, Ishigami Yuu doesn't know much about him, but he is said to be the grandson of the world-renowned doctor Tanuma Masazo.

But that's not important. I've seen a lot of people of my age with exaggerated identities today, just this couple...

Looking at these two people holding hands, who were said to be a couple participating in volunteer activities together during the summer vacation, many single people at the scene became envious.

That’s right, the envious people naturally include those VIPs. I guess there are few people who would not envy and yearn for such a relationship.

"After the initial discomfort, these two people seem to be getting more and more unscrupulous. They were not like this last semester in school."

Touching his belly, Ishigami Yu whispered to Asakura Feng beside him: "Asakura, what do you think is the progress of these two people?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Nonsense, that's what I mean!"

"..."

Asakura Feng pulled the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly: "How can I see this kind of thing? Do you think I have a keen eye?"

"But aren't you living with Sawamura?"

Eriri, who was on the other side of Asakura Kaede, immediately blushed and glared at Ishigami Yu.

After hearing this, Asakura Feng patted Ishigami's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that you would be interested in these things."

"Ah, there's nothing I can do about it." Ishigami Yu scratched his hair and said, "Let's not talk about today. During the summer vacation, I went out to buy games and peripherals several times and saw them doing volunteer activities everywhere. It was obvious that they were sticking together all day, so I couldn't help but feel curious."

"From what you said, they haven't been dating for long?"

"Yes, it's probably just a little bit longer than yours, starting in the first semester of the second year of high school."

Asakura Kaede and Eriri looked at each other after hearing this. They had moved in together during the summer vacation, so their relationship had improved rapidly, but they couldn't really tell what those two said.

Seeing that Asakura Kaede really couldn't guess, Ishigami Yu didn't ask any more questions.

Because the fireworks display has begun.

On the other side of the river, rows of fireworks had already been prepared. After the meeting began, the first row of fireworks was lit. With the light, the fireworks rushed into the sky and exploded, forming beautiful patterns. The originally unchanging night sky was now perfectly decorated by the fireworks, shining brightly.

Looking up, Kaguya Shinomiya stared at the fireworks in the sky and whispered, "So beautiful..."

In the past, she could only watch the silent fireworks blooming from afar through the window in her room, but today, she finally saw the scene with her own eyes, which was deeply engraved in Shinomiya Kaguya's heart. It was not only about being able to participate in the fireworks display up close, but more importantly, there were people she cared about around her.

Turning her head, looking at Shirogane Miyuki who was watching the fireworks with a smile on her face, Kaguya Shinomiya said: "President, thank you..."

Fuzzily seeming to hear Shinomiya Kaguya calling him, Shirogane Miyuki turned around and asked, "Shinomiya, what's wrong?"

Shaking her head, Kaguya Shinomiya smiled and continued watching the fireworks.

Baiyin Yuxing scratched his head in confusion, but didn't care because today was already perfect.

While he was not noticing, Kaguya Shinomiya slowly moved her feet and moved a little closer to Shirogane Miyuki.

..........

The lively fireworks display finally ended after the last round of huge fireworks.

After watching it, it was as if time had entered sage mode. Even Longzhu Tao, who used to speak very aggressively, now had a lazy expression and looked unmotivated.

After saying goodbye to each other, everyone went home, ending today's activities.

Sitting in the taxi on the way home, Eriri leaned on Asakura Kaede's shoulder and whispered, "The fireworks display is so beautiful."

"Indeed, but it only happens once in the summer. If you want to see more, you have to go somewhere else right after watching it here, but that would be too rushed."

"Hehe, that's not the case. Watching it once is enough. Watching it too much will easily lead to aesthetic fatigue." Eriri said with a smile, "The fireworks display is fun only if you watch it once a year. By the way, Fengjun, do you think that after what happened today, there will be further developments between Kaguya-senpai and Shirogane-senpai?"

"Hmm~~~~"

Asakura Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Although I told the senior a lot when I talked to him this afternoon, and I also gave the senior some suggestions before, the personalities of these two people cannot be changed overnight. But I think there should be a good start. It's a pity that we are not students of Shuchiyuan, so we can't eat the whole melon."

"If you ask me, Senior Shirogane is too slow. It's just a confession, isn't it? It's just a one-sentence thing. You are too timid."

"Why, can't it be Shinomiya-senpai who confesses?"

Shaking her head, Eriri said, "I feel like even if Shinomiya-senpai makes some changes, she seems to be easily shy. It would be difficult for her to take the initiative to confess, right?"

"Well, do you want to make a bet?"

Hearing what Asakura Kaede said, Eriri immediately became excited and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I bet that Senior Shirogane will confess first!"

"Then I'll bet on Shinomiya-senpai."

As for the bets and such, refer to the previous time and mention it casually.

Chapter 183 Parents Are Back (2/3)

After the fireworks display, Asakura Kaede and Eriri's lives returned to normal again. Besides, school was about to start, and they had no motivation to run around. While they were drawing comics seriously at home, they were also adjusting their biological clocks to avoid feeling uncomfortable after school started.

At 7: in the morning, Asakura Feng felt itchy on her face and woke up in a daze.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Yinglili stretching out her fingers and rubbing the little beard on her chin back and forth.

"...What are you doing?"

"Hehe, I just think the beard is a little obvious. I didn't notice it before."

"It's normal for me to grow a beard at my age, and I don't have a habit of growing one. I shave more often, so it's not as soft as it was at the beginning."

As he spoke, Asakura Kaede got up from the bed and stretched.

"Or does Eriri want me to grow a beard?"

"Forget about that one, it's prickly."

Seeing Asakura Kaede getting up, Eriri stopped lying in bed and got up quickly. She hadn't stayed up late these days, so she had basically developed a good habit of getting up early.

After washing up, the two went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

While frying eggs, Ying Lili asked, "Feng Jun, will uncle and auntie be back today?"

"Yes, the flight arrives at 2pm."

While brewing coffee, Asakura Kaede said, "Eri, do you want to come with me? It's quite hot this afternoon."

"Of course I'll go!" Eriri said with a smile, "And when Aunt Reiko called me last night, she said she brought me some presents. She said they were all delicious."

“It’s delicious...”

Asakura Feng thought about it, the last stop of her parents' trip was in Chengdu, and they said it was delicious or a specialty...

Considering her mother's personality, Asakura Kaede had already expected this.

However, Ying Lili didn't know all this. She only knew that her aunt brought her some delicious food, so she was very excited.

Asakura Kaede had basically guessed it, so she decided not to tell her first.

After breakfast, Asakura Kaede and Eriri started their day's work. They had to go to the airport to pick someone up in the afternoon, and Eriri's parents would also come over for dinner in the evening, so they had to draw more before leaving.

The series on Jump was on track after the first episode. As for the magazine, they only collected the one with the first episode. For the subsequent ones, they would just read the reviews online after the new issues came out.

However, according to the editor Ibo, many readers have already sent in their reader tickets for Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan.

only......

While drawing the storyboard, Asakura Feng heard Eriri say, "Wow... I really want to play games. I haven't played games for three days..."

There is nothing that can be done about it. If it were just a daily plot, it wouldn't require too much effort, but there are quite a few battle scenes since the early stages of the comics, plus it involves all kinds of monsters, so there can't be any omissions. This is much more difficult than Eriri's previous efforts to draw ordinary characters.

After finishing a storyboard, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "It's just one day today, just hold on. School will start in a few days. Didn't I tell you to take a rest and not draw for the first two days of school?"

Putting down the pen, Ying Lili counted on her fingers and said, "According to what you said, Feng Jun, if we don't count today, we will have to draw for another two days."

"It's only two days, how come you can't hold on any longer?"

"It's not like I can't hold on."

Eriri swung her twin ponytails and said, "I just suddenly felt a little emotional. The difference in busyness between a doujin artist and a manga artist is really huge. In the past, even if I took orders, I wouldn't be so tired. And luckily, I have Feng-kun to help me, and we work well together. If I had to find an assistant to draw, I might not be able to submit manuscripts every week."

"Hearing what you said, Eriri, it seems that you can't leave me at all."

"Ah! Don't add any unclear definitions to my words!" Eriri blushed and reached out her hands to pull Asakura Kaede.

After making a fuss for a while, the two of them returned to work mode.

Although the reasons are different each time, Eriri will do this every now and then. It seems that this is her own way of adjusting her mood.

Quite cute.

Asakura Feng knew very well that being a full-time manga artist would be very boring, and since they were still students and had to balance their studies, it was normal for Eriri to be even more tired, depressed, and less motivated. Therefore, he did not stop Eriri from adjusting her mentality.

However, this is not enough. Asakura Feng feels that he needs to think of more ways to make his future life less boring.

Of course, you don’t have to think about it today, because interesting things are about to happen.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Asakura Kaede and Eriri arrived at the airport on time.

There will basically be a more or less interval after the flight arrives before the passengers get out, so they are not in a hurry, as long as they arrive on time.

After waiting at the airport for about fifteen minutes, I finally saw Asakura Takaichi and Asakura Reiko, who were pulling their suitcases and smiling.

As soon as she came out, Asakura Reiko saw her son and Eriri waiting for her. She threw the luggage in her hands to her husband and trotted over.

He came up to the two of them and hugged Eriri without saying a word.
