Big Manga

November, mid-term.

At 7:30 in the evening, Meng Huo packed up his sketches and stood up: "This is the end of today's comics, I'm off work first!"

"Eh?" Several female cartoonists in the studio looked at him strangely: "Mr. He Xi, why did you leave work so early today?"

"Yeah." Meng Huo smiled, and walked out with the manuscript of "Soul of Chess".

After he left, Bai Han looked at Qin Ya curiously: "Mr. Qin Ya, Mr. He Xi is usually the last to leave. What's the matter with him today?"

"...I don't know either." Qin Ya shook her head, but she understood the truth in her heart. Today is the day when Shen Jie comes back, and Meng Huo must want to get off work early to see her—but this matter cannot be told to the assistants Listen, it will be bad if it gets out.

On this kind of news that is easy to cause gossip, Qin Ya is very conservative.

"Okay, Teacher He Xi is not here, but you can't relax." She clapped her hands to divert the attention of her assistants, and said, "Next week's "Legend of the Galaxy Diva" is almost finished, you all speed up for me, Get it done today!"

"Hey! How come so fast!", "Then you can have a holiday tomorrow?"

The assistants were surprised and delighted, and the movements of their hands became faster.

After Meng Huo left the studio, he walked quickly and quickly returned to his apartment. He took out the key to open the door, but when he heard singing from inside, Meng Huo was taken aback, then put the key back, stretched out his hand and pushed the door, and the door opened in response.

"Ah, Meng Huo, you're back!" Alice was the first to notice the sound of the door opening. She stood up on the sofa in the living room and came to greet her.

"Did you open this door?" Meng Huo asked while changing his slippers.

"Well. The administrator here saw Shen Jie and me coming, and offered to open the door for us." Alice replied with a smile. Both she and Shen Jie are regular customers here, and the staff who manage and clean the apartment recognize them. Knowing that their relationship with Meng Huo is unusual.

Meng Huo changed his shoes: "Where's Shen Jie?"

His eyes followed the singing. Before Alice answered, Meng Huo knew the answer: "Is she in the kitchen?"

"Yes." Alice nodded: "It's a rare time to come back, and she said that she would cook for you by herself." In the past, when Shen Jie returned to Manga Island, Meng Huo would cook and welcome her, but this time it was different.

Meng Huo is busy with work. Shen Jie took the initiative to show her hospitality.

"Okay, you help me put these comics in the study, I'll go and see Shen Jie..."

Meng Huo handed the manuscript to Alice, and then walked to the kitchen, where soup was being cooked. The pressure cooker was humming, and Shen Jie didn't seem to notice Meng Huo's return. She turned her back to Meng Huo, humming a song while skillfully frying the vegetables.

We haven't seen each other for several months, but from Shen Jie's performance, she seems to be in good condition. Meng Huo smiled slightly: "Do you need my help?"

"No need... Eh? Meng Huo!" Shen Jie heard a voice. Startled, I turned around and said, "Why are you back? Didn't you say it will take half an hour!"

"I don't have much work today." Meng Huo walked over to help Shen Jie: "Besides, it's rare for you to come back. I wanted to come back earlier to cook you something delicious...but you got ahead of me instead."

Shen Jie couldn't help laughing and said: "How can you do it every time, it hurts my self-esteem too much!"

At this time, Alice, who had put away the manga manuscript, also walked to the door of the kitchen. She looked at the two people who were talking inside, and after thinking for a while, she didn't go in to disturb her. Instead, she returned to the living room and drank some tea.

Dinner is still dinner for three people. The scene looks weird to outsiders, but these three people are used to it. The atmosphere is not awkward at all.

"My mom likes watching "ad" very much!" Shen Jie smiled at the dining table: "My dad also watched a few episodes, but compared to this animation. He seems to like "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" more. Fighting TV with my mom."

"Oh, so who won?" Alice was very interested in this topic.

"No one won, I won." Shen Jie said proudly: "I bought them a new TV set online, and they don't quarrel now... By the way, Meng Huo, my mother often calls your mother Phone, both of them like "ad" very much, and they can chat for a long time every week!"

Meng Huo nodded: "I heard from my mother about this, but does your father really hate "ad"?"

"How can that be!" Shen Jie immediately shook her head: "It's only relatively speaking, "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is about to reach its climax, and my dad is watching it with great enthusiasm! But when "ad" airs to the end, I I believe he will definitely watch it again!"

For the charm of "ad", Shen Jie is also confident, if it can't attract her father, then there is no animation that can attract it.

"But at my house, my dad is chasing "The Rebellious Lelouch." Alice interjected with a smile, "Several times, he even told me how Meng Huo made your head, how did you come up with such a wonderful idea?" The plot!"

Meng Huo also heard Xu Jing praise "The Rebellious Lu Luxiu" more than once. Such an animation that is tense, exciting, and full of strategic wisdom is deeply liked by Xu Jing. In fact, not only Xu Jing, Dong Ding also likes it very much.

In the eyes of these smart old people, "The Rebellious Lelouch" is a rare animation that suits their appetite, and the strategy in it makes them appreciate it even more.

"Speaking of which, "ad" will branch soon." Alice remembered this, and sighed: "After the animation story is branched, here is equivalent to four animations. I can't finish watching the previous works. It's hard to choose."

"Isn't it!" Shen Jie heard the sound and said, "Originally there were enough animations. After "Rebellious Lelouch" came out, I had to think about what to watch in advance every week. Now it's good. With "ad", I will watch it every day in the future. It's all going to be troublesome."

Meng Huo smiled bitterly. There are indeed a lot of animations released by Huaxia this year, and he is no exception. This is one of the reasons why he does not want to launch more new animations. At least before the Chinese New Year, the current works are enough to make animation audiences carnival.

"Pokemon", "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", "Rebellious Lelouch", plus the four lines of "ad"... just the animation with the label "He Xi" is enough to make every week Every day is occupied.

Undoubtedly, at this season, Meng Huo has reached the most prosperous period in the animation industry since his debut. (to be continued)
