Chapter 262: Chapter 246: Reunite with Gu Xi_1
The attention drawn by Shadow’s new work is limited only to Shadow’s fans and some professionals in the comic circle.
If we looked at the entire comic community, it’s bound to say: the news of Shadow’s new work would hardly stir up a big commotion.
Comic enthusiasts are still immersed in the anticipation of the launch of Tribe Comics!
Because…
The lineup of comic artists invited for the launch of Tribe Comics is too luxurious!
New works from many top comic artists are worth looking forward to! Shadow is virtually inconspicuous amidst such a stellar line-up. Moreover, many people had not even noticed this pure graphic artist. And when this mood all culminated on the first day of September, all the excitement and anticipation exploded with the launch of Tribe Comics! Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh.
Countless comic readers flocked to the comic website established by Tribe on this day!
However…
At such a moment, Lin Yuan was not closely following the situation of his comic.
He had delegated Luo Wei, his assistant, with the task of uploading “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”.
Because not only was the first of September the day when Tribe Comics launches its new comic website, but also…
It was the opening day of the school at Qin Art.
Although Lin Yuan had been on indefinite leave since his second semester of junior year, he still had no reason to skip the opening day of his senior year. In his class,
Meeting with classmates was particularly cordial and enthusiastic, with a hint of looking forward to the new school year.
Lin Yuan, too, received many warm greetings from his classmates, enjoying the unchanging darling treatment as always.
Universities in Blue Star are five-year programs.
However, by the fourth year, there are hardly any classes for everyone.
The school was also relaxed in its management of seniors.
No one checked whether students stayed in the dormitory.
Students could live outside the school and attendance figures dropped sharply.
As long as you didn’t fail, everything was fine.
Nowadays, as long as you study diligently, most college students will not fail the course.
In this senior year, it’s more about practical activities than attending classes.
As for the fifth year…
The fifth year are for graduates-to-be.
Those who should look for internships did so; those who wanted to start their own businesses were supported by the school.
For instance, Luo Wei, Lin Yuan’s assistant, was a fifth-year student at Qin Art. She didn’t even come to school today.
In the future, she would not need to come to school often; it was estimated that she would be a bit busy only when she was preparing her graduation thesis.
Now she was essentially working for Lin Yuan, almost like a half-working part of society.
The reason it’s half is that, after all, she hasn’t received her graduation certificate from Qin Art yet.
However, Lin Yuan had a certain plan for his senior year time as well.
The premise to be established first is that…
He would undoubtedly be taking more frequent leaves in his senior year.
Since the senior year courses are sparse and scattered, the cost of taking leave is much lower than that of junior year.
Moreover…
Lin Yuan now does not have much time to linger in the painting club anymore. Not only did Luo Wei get promoted to fifth year,
Zhong Yu, a senior at the painting club that Lin Yuan is quite familiar with, also advanced to fifth year.
After advancing to fifth year, Zhong Yu might rarely show up at the painting club.
For Lin Yuan, the painting club, which is missing familiar faces, always feels as if something has been lost.
After all, the painting club that he is familiar with is mainly composed of seniors like Zhong Yu.
Although the painting club will be missing many familiar faces, Lin Yuan went there with a touch of nostalgia.
Because today is the first day of school, there were not as many people in the painting club than usual.
But there are still quite a few people who know Lin Yuan.
After all, the Painting club is a mix of students from all grades. Even students a grade lower than Lin Yuan had learned sketching or gouache from him.
After greeting everyone, Lin Yuan went to the piano room for a while.
The piano room was as it always was.
He is still familiar with the pianos in a few of the piano rooms.
Sitting in the room and playing a little bit, Lin Yuan was ready to leave.
However, right out of the door, he saw a familiar figure.
GuXi!
The last time he met Gu Xi was at Qi Art. Unbelievably, so much time had passed since then, and Gu Xi had come back from studying at Qi Art.
But the reason why…
Gu Xi’s look at Lin Yuan was very complex.
It seemed to have a touch of surprise, and yet some traces of resentment, also a bit of depression, and a lingering trace of sorrow between her eyebrows.
“Lin Yuan, we meet again.” She took the initiative to greet him.
Lin Yuan nodded in response: “Hello.”
After the greeting, Lin Yuan was ready to go, but to his surprise, Gu Xi stopped him and forced out a smile. “Lin Yuan, do you not want to see me that much?” Lin Yuan shook his head: “You misunderstood.”
Gu Xi paused for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, she whispered, “I seem to misunderstand Filbert often, but some misunderstandings are difficult to resolve…”
“Is there something you need?”
Lin Yuan couldn’t understand what she was saying.
This was the exact coldness she had expected. Gu Xi sighed.
Actually, wasn’t’ she treating others the same way Lin Yuan was treating her? It could only be said that there were no good outcomes for a sycophant. No matter how hard one tries to please others, it is hard to change the heart of someone who disregards you.
From now on, she would no longer be anyone’s sycophant.
Not even for the Maestro.
Dignity was more important than the Maestro!
“Nothing…”
Thinking about it, she smiled a little depressingly.
Lin Yuan nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, “Are you free lately?”
“I’m free, I’m free!”
Gu Xi quickly raised her head.
Her sudden, fiery enthusiasm, as if reborn from the ashes, startled Lin Yuan.
“I am planning to shoot a film…”
Lin Yuan wanted to invite Gu Xi to help: “There will be some music pieces in
that film. Your performance skills are better than mine.”
“No problem!”
Gu Xi kept nodding and smiled warmly, “Lin Yuan, your skill level is actually
not worse than mine, but I’ll certainly help if you need me.”
“Let’s add contact information.”
Lin Yuan said, “We can negotiate the remuneration, you won’t work for free.”
Gu Xi quickly replied, “No, no, I can work for you for free!”
Realizing that her words were a bit off, Gu Xi’s face turned red quickly and she hastily explained nervously, “I meant that you can work for free, not free…” Why is this girl babbling?
Lin Yuan gave her a strange look: “Your mobile number.”
Gu Xi covered her face and said, “My mobile number is 1008612580…”
One minute later.
The two exchanged contact information.
Lin Yuan left the piano room.
Gu Xi, on the other hand, danced happily on the aisle of the piano room as if stepping on the tiles of the floor, humming a tune.
It wasn’t until someone came by that she coughed, regained her expression, raised her white jade-like neck, and walked away with an aloof air like a peacock.
Meanwhile,
With the official establishment of the Tribe Comics website, some people have gotten in and opened up Shadow’s new comic, “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”..
