"What's wrong?" Meng Huo felt strange: "Don't you like it?"

"It's not that I don't like..."

Alice shook her head, this puppy is cute and cuddly, but she is a bit allergic to dogs. She told Meng Huo that the Xu family had raised a dog before, but because of her allergies, she gave it away in the end.

Meng Huo had never heard of this before, and his face was stunned.

"Sorry, I don't know..."

"It's okay." Alice looked at Meng Huo in a bit of trouble, and smiled, "But my allergies are not very serious. The puppy should be fine. If you want to keep it, you can put it here!"

Her allergies were indeed not severe, but Meng Huo already knew she was allergic, so how dare he put the puppy here? Usually, it's okay, but now Alice is pregnant, so she can't bear the slightest influence.

"I'd better take it away!"

Meng Huo decided to take the dog away. He wanted to put the dog here. Even if Alice could bear it, Li Qin would have to scold him to death.

After staying at Meng’s house for half a day, after lunch, Meng Huo put the puppy in a bag and brought it back to Manga Island. He began to think about where to put it—in fact, as long as he ordered it, no one would He dared to refuse to adopt, but he didn't want to make things so difficult for others. It's better to do this kind of thing voluntarily.

It was time to go to work in the afternoon when we returned to Manga Island. Meng Huo came to the island studio. As soon as he entered, the sharp-eyed Qin Ya spotted him.

"Mr. He Xi, welcome back. Have you read this week's "Weekly Girl"?" She got up and asked with a rather smug expression: "The editor said that the votes of "Phoenix" this week may be ranked at the top of the overall list." Six!"

The general list she mentioned refers to the list of all the comics serialized by Phoenix Company, which is divided into two lists for men and women. There are many old comics that have been serialized for a long time. Meng Huo topped both lists.

The so-called number one in "Phoenix" before was the number one in the new comics. The comics of Phoenix Company rank comics that have been serialized for less than a month as new comics, with "Phoenix" first and "Flower Season" second.

"How could "Phoenix" be included in the overall list?" Meng Huo came to his drawing table, a little strangely said, this comic has not been serialized for a full month, and now is not the time to be included in the overall list.

Qin Ya laughed and said, "The editor said that "Phoenix" is too popular, and it would be unfair to other new comics to put it on the list of new comics."

Meng Huo understood.

This is true. In fact, when "Phoenix" was first released, its popularity was already at the top of the overall rankings, and it didn't need to add points based on the standards of new comics.

And if, as Qin Ya said, "Phoenix" can be ranked in the top six of the girls' comics in this week's vote, it means that this comic that has just been released is already a super popular comic, and the votes are second only to Meng's. The serial works of Huo and two other veteran cartoonists.

Meng Huo has three works on the girl list, one is "Natsume's Book of Friends", another is "Shakugan no Shana", and finally there is "Inuyasha"-in fact, the main work of these three works is by His assistant is in charge.

The assistant of "Natsume's Book of Friends" is Bai Han, and the assistants of "Shakugan no Shana" are those two female cartoonists. They also finished "Sa Special Yousheng" when Meng Huo left China. In order to match the current animation dominated by Bai Yan, "Shakugan no Shana" was drawn again.

As for "Inuyasha". This has been a comic that has been serialized for quite a long time, and its assistant has never changed: Teacher Huameng.

In fact, "Inuyasha" has always been very popular, but covered by He Xi's other works, it feels a bit low-key now, not even as good as Qin Ya's previous "Legend of the Galaxy Diva", but it has stayed in front for many years. Three never fell, which is also a remarkable thing.

Meng Huo occupies three positions by herself, so it is very remarkable that Qin Ya's "Phoenix" can be ranked sixth. Maybe in a short time, she will be able to overtake the other two cartoonists and return to the peak state before .

But this time she wants to create the miracle of "The Legend of the Galactic Diva" will not be so simple.

"Since "Phoenix" is on the general list, shouldn't "Flower Season" also be on the list?" Meng Huo said this, and the happy expression on Qin Ya's face disappeared immediately.

"Yes, they went too."

She was a little reconciled. The data of "Phoenix" and "Flower Season" in the first two weeks were not much different. The editors naturally stripped the two comics from the list of new comics.

"Then your sixth is not so stable." Meng Huo reminded that this week's girls' manga has not been released for a long time, but the final data will not be released until next week. Qin Ya is now sixth, which does not mean that she is the last It will also be sixth.

Qin Ya pouted and said nothing.

Meng Huo sat down and began to check the production status of "Idiot Quiz Summoned Beast" in the past two weeks, but after sitting for a long time, Qin Ya who was next to him suddenly screamed and stood up.

"Mr. He Xi, you, your bag..." She regained her composure and pointed to the bag under Meng Huo's feet: "How can it move?"

Meng Huo looked down and said with a smile: "Why does the bag move, but there is a little guy inside, maybe it is making trouble!"

He didn't intend to take the dog out to interfere with his work, and the bag was loose, so it wouldn't suffocate the puppy—but there was nothing he could do if Qin Ya found out. Meng Huo bent down to open the bag, and took the puppy out Put it on the table.

"Puppy!" Qin Ya watched the little white dog crawling on the table, almost amused by its movements.

"Puppy, so cute!"

"Teacher He Xi, is this your dog?"

Seeing Meng Huo take out a dog, the whole studio shook, and busy female painters gathered around one after another. The other Nan painters saw that Meng Huo was not angry, so they put down their work and ran over curiously. .

Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the little white dog, but it didn't seem to notice it at all. It crawled carefully on the table, saw Meng Huo stretching out his hand, and crawled into his palm.

"It's so cute!" Qin Ya's eyes glowed, eager to try: "Teacher, can I do it?"

Meng Huo nodded, and Qin Ya immediately stretched out her hand, carefully placing it on the puppy's head, and the puppy licked her hand curiously. Qin Ya cried out happily. Then he snatched the puppy from Meng Huo.

"You seem to like it very much." Meng Huo's heart moved. "Then how about I give it to you?"

Qin Ya was taken aback: "Give it to me? Isn't this dog your teacher raised?"

Meng Huo shook his head, and then briefly talked about the process of obtaining this dog. He was struggling with how to give this dog away. Qin Ya seemed to like it, so he might as well just give it to her.

"But I have never raised a dog... I don't know if I can raise it well..."

Qin Ya frowned slightly as she hugged the puppy.

"Princess, if you don't want it, give it to me!" A female painter said excitedly: "My family has raised dogs before, and I know how to raise them!"

"My family has raised it too. I want this dog too!", "I have a puppy at home, and I need a companion!", "I want it too, don't take it from me!"

Other painters also began to argue. Qin Ya looked at these disputed painters in surprise and asked, "Why do you all want this dog so much?"

She took a closer look at the little white dog. Although it looked cute, it didn't seem to be a special breed of dog. It couldn't be said that it could attract so many people to adopt.

"Princess, this is a dog given by Teacher He Xi." An artist explained.

Qin Ya immediately understood that these painters were thinking about this reason - the dog sent by Teacher He Xi. How superficial! What is it worth pursuing? Is He Xi's gift so precious?

"...I raised this dog!"

Qin Ya said firmly, she thought about it. In fact, He Xi's gift was indeed very precious. After all these years of getting along, Teacher He Xi didn't give her anything. Thinking about it this way, she absolutely can't give it up to others.

"Princess, your hexagram has changed too fast!", "That's right, I just said no to it, how can I go back on it now!"

The painters lowered their faces, and Qin Ya smiled and said, "Whoever said I don't want it, I didn't say that, I just said that I have never raised a dog before, and I am a little worried that it will be difficult to keep."

She hugged the puppy and said happily: "I figured it out now, I'm so smart, how could I not be able to raise a dog! I want this dog, and none of you are allowed to snatch it from me! By the way—"

Qin Ya turned to Meng Huo, "Mr. He Xi, does it have a name?"

"No." Meng Huo shook his head.

"Then I will give it a good name." Qin Ya picked up the puppy and said, "One Piece, I want to call it One Piece, it is a dog who wants to be the One Piece!"

The entire studio suddenly became silent, and every artist didn't know how to complain about the name.

"Qin Ya..." Meng Huo persuaded, "This name is not good."

The surrounding painters nodded one after another—isn’t it? When you are walking on the street with your dog, what will the people around you think of you when you call One Piece?

Still, Mr. He Xi's appreciation of names is relatively normal.

"Isn't this a good name? One Piece—this name may bring me luck, allowing me to draw a manga comparable to "One Piece"!"

Qin Ya said, she didn't choose her name casually.

The painters didn't expect Qin Ya to have such a meaning. Hearing what she said, One Piece is not so strange anymore, it has more meaning of dreams-but Meng Huo still couldn't help but feel relieved.

"..." Qin Ya looked at Meng Huo's face, and compromised, "Then teacher, what name do you think is better?"

"At least you should remove the word king!" Meng Huo said calmly, "Pirate sounds better than One Piece, and it won't cause misunderstanding."

The painters were silent again - it seems that Teacher He Xi's aesthetics is not much better.

But Qin Ya didn't seem to think so, she chanted a few words of 'One Piece' and 'One Piece' respectively, and indeed the former was easier to pronounce.

"Then pirate." Qin Ya pointed at the little white dog with her finger, and said with a smile: "Pirate, you will be my dog ​​from now on!"

The painters around looked at each other, then turned back to work silently, it was really tragic that such a cute little white dog was named 'Pirate'.

"How does it look like a pirate!?"

More than one painter thought so, the puppy's first "famous name" was ruined in this way.

Handing the 'Pirate' to Qin Ya, Meng Huo solved one of his concerns, but Qin Ya lost her mind to draw, and spent the whole afternoon on errands playing with puppies, and even turned on the computer to search for dog raising.

"I said Qin Ya, are you coming to the studio tonight?" Meng Huo asked as he put down his brush.

"I'm not coming, I want to find something to eat for the pirates." Qin Ya smiled at the puppy, and her answer was exactly as Meng Huo predicted, but it also followed his mind.

Meng Huo came back today to fulfill his promise to Alice, and stayed at Meng's house more in the evening. He was worried about how to tell Qin Ya about this matter, and a dog helped him solve it.

As for Qin Ya's desertion, Meng Huo wasn't worried. She was a conscientious person. Even if she brought the puppy to work, she would be able to adjust her work attitude in at most three or four days.

After get off work, Qin Ya was the first to pick up the puppy and left the island studio.

Meng Huo called a painter and asked him to prepare a dog house in the rest area of ​​the studio. It had to be ready this weekend——Qin Ya lived alone, so she might not keep the puppy at home, but brought a dog house. Go to work, but Meng Huo can't let the dog interfere with his work.

He can allow Qin Ya to bring the dog in these few months, but when the dog grows up, she has to keep it at home.

After giving this order, Meng Huo went back to the office to deal with other tasks, and then returned to Meng's house at seven o'clock in the evening, just in time for them to eat.

But today's dinner table was a little different from usual. Li Qin and Alice's mother were not there, and they were still there at noon.

"What about my mother?" Meng Huo asked Alice, but before Alice could answer, the old lady said, "Don't worry, they have gone back to Ninghai temporarily, and they will be back in two days."

Meng Huo nodded and finished the meal with the old lady and Alice.

He and the old lady hadn't talked alone for a long time. After the meal, Alice left voluntarily and gave the time to Meng Huo. At this time, Meng Huo felt a little uncomfortable, for fear that the old lady would talk about the Meng family.

But this time was the same as in the past, the old lady didn't talk about the Meng family's problems, but chatted with Meng Huo in a cheerful mood, as if to her, being able to chat with Meng Huo casually was enough.

This made Meng Huo feel a warm current in his heart. If it could be another family, this old lady is indeed a qualified grandmother.

After chatting with the old lady, Meng Huo came to Alice's room and told her about the puppy.

"Can she take care of the puppy?"

Alice is a little suspicious of Qin Ya. In Alice's eyes, her temper is not suitable for keeping a dog. It should be said that she is not suitable for keeping a dog for a long time-Qin Ya seems to be the kind of person who will soon get tired of one thing.

But Meng Huo didn't think so. Qin Ya's temperament sometimes seemed very casual, but in fact she was very caring and patient. How could an impatient person become a cartoonist? (To be continued.)
