I feel like Xiao Qin's retardation increased by 50% after she decided to become a shoujo mangaka.
The next day, she went to Dong Shan City's art street to buy a lot of manga related supplies.
There were dipping pens for manga, black ink for manga, and drawings for manga … There were even wooden mannequins, screen papers, webbing knives, and copying tables.
Of course, there were also a lot of manga teaching books, such as [Learning Manga from Scratch], [Manga Creation — Storyline], [Drawing of Beautiful Girls], [Drawing of Animals], [Manga Costume Design], [Charming Character Building], etc. I felt dizzy just from looking at the bookstore receipts Xiao Qin brought over.
"Thanks to my mom's help, all of these things added together are really expensive!"
Xiao Qin felt a sense of accomplishment after she bought all of these things at home.
"I never thought my mom would support me learning manga! She even agreed to let an artist from the crew guide me! "
Most of the time, people had the misconception that only animations and games required the participation of an animation artist. In fact, live-action movies also required an animation artist. They were responsible for drawing up the original scenes of the movie on paper according to the director and screenwriter's intentions. It was a visual blueprint for the entire movie.
In some ways, it does have a lot of similarities to manga (even the term 'storyboard' is used by both). If students are interested, they can go online and find the storyboard script for Zhang Yimou's' Hero '. It feels like a manga.
As for Auntie Ren supporting Xiao Qin learning manga, I wasn't surprised. Just like Xiao Qin said: She should have another interest besides me. Of course Auntie Ren hopes her daughter doesn't have to think about me every day and can have a hobby to distract her energy!
Although she bought a lot of things, Xiao Qin only brought two manga tutorials to school — [Learning Manga from Scratch] and [Manga Creation — Storyline]. Whether in class or after class, she would secretly read them whenever she had time.
In terms of drawing skills, she was still at the stage of doodling with a 2B pencil. She didn't show any improvement, but she did have a set of theories.
At noon, she shamelessly ate lunch with me and pestered me to take a walk on the field.
But Xiao Qin's topic of conversation changed from 'likes' and 'dislikes' to manga related knowledge. It gave me a new perspective, as if I discovered something I never discovered before.
Is it really as Xiao Qin said, that having a unique interest will increase one's charm?
It's probably just an illusion. Although Xiao Qin's concentration when talking about manga doesn't seem to be fake, the main reason is because she's using the female protagonist's situation and feels very immersive, right?
"Ah!!"
When I walked around the corner of the school building, the back of my hand accidentally brushed against Xiao Qin's. As a result, her entire body shook and she screamed exaggeratedly.
I frowned. "What's wrong with you? Does it hurt that much? "
Xiao Qin quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too sensitive …"
"… The tutorial says that in order to be a manga author, one must develop an emotional mind and become sensitive to everything around them. In order to practice what they preach, I've been magnifying the sensation of my skin since just now, and it's really useful. The wind feels so fresh, and I feel like my ability to draw wind has improved again!"
Why did he say "again"? You've never had the ability to describe wind! Moreover, how could one describe something that could not be seen or touched!
Her face suddenly turned red, "But, but … because my skin was too sensitive, Ye Lin classmate suddenly touched it, and it made me … so embarrassed! You're clearly only a middle school student, but you've already … "
Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean by lowering your head! Finish what you're saying! It's really annoying when you're being vague like this!
After a moment of silence, Xiao Qin's face became calm again. She had a Mona Lisa-like smile on her face, raised her hands above her head, crossed them, and stretched cutely.
"I think I understand what 'emotional mind' means. It's what people often say, 'Life doesn't lack beauty, but it lacks discovery!' As long as you're emotional, things that you normally don't notice can also become beautiful!"
Xiao Qin pointed to a withered branch next to the flower bed and said: "What an ancient plant corpse!"
Xiao Qin pointed to the old principal's bald head and said: "What a philosophical baldness!"
Xiao Qin looked at the willow catkin that flew past her nose and exclaimed:
"What a mysterious translucent flying object, what an ethereal and dreamy flight path, what … achoo!!"
Her nose was tickled by the willow catkin and she couldn't help but sneeze.
The small setback did not discourage her. She pulled my hand and pointed to the dazzling sun hanging in the sky:
"Look! Look! How round the sun is today! "
Nonsense! Which day isn't round! Only the moon waxes and wanes! Instead of saying this nonsense, you should hurry up and take your sketchbook and draw the withered branch, the bald head, the willow catkin, and the sun!
The first class in the afternoon was physical education. As usual, Xiao Qin was studying in the classroom because of her 'weak and sickly' body. She occupied my seat as usual. She was also reading the manga tutorial attentively, and from time to time, she would jot down her thoughts in her exercise book.
Whenever I looked at the window seat from below, Xiao Qin would immediately respond with a (* ^ _ _ ^ *) expression, as if she had a radar installed in her brain. It really makes me shudder.
But in the hot weather, it's never too much to shudder.
Because we had physical education class at two in the afternoon under the scorching sun, all the students were like dogs suffering from heat exhaustion. The boys stuck out their tongues, and the girls would occasionally take out tissues to wipe the sweat off their foreheads.
The physical education teacher, Li DaYong, was unfortunately wearing a black vest. He only stood on the field for a short while, but he already felt his back was burning hot and he almost got sunburned.
Thus he gave everyone the task of running back and forth, and he ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
The specific method was to practice in groups, split into two groups according to the boys and girls, and run back and forth on the plastic track at the back of the field until the end of class.
Of course, no one had the stamina to run all the time, so they ran one by one in order, and those who didn't run could take the opportunity to rest.
Xiong YaoYue and I stood on the track 100 meters away from each other as landmarks (Li DaYong allowed the male and female PE committee members to not run, maybe he felt that Xiong YaoYue and I already had enough exercise). The boys behind me and the girls behind Xiong YaoYue ran in opposite directions on the adjacent track. When it was all girls behind me, and all boys behind Xiong YaoYue, we started the next round of running.
Many boys were discussing how to run slower, that way they could reduce the total amount of exercise, and it would be easier to get a closer look at the girls when they pass by.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie, Gong CaiCai would definitely look spectacular when she runs over!" Eunuch Cao pouted his octopus mouth, "It would be great if I could watch that kind of boobs shake up close! If she happened to fall, I would definitely catch her immediately! "
Eunuch Cao wretchedly pinched a ball with both hands.
"The 'Breast Grabbing Dragon Claw' that master taught me can finally be put to use today!"
Who taught you that kind of thing? That's clearly a natural talent you were born with! If you really want to learn our sect's martial arts, I have a 'Sunflower Treasured Bible' here, do you want it? As long as you castrate yourself, you would be able to master it! At that time, I would be getting rid of a scourge for the people!
While we were talking, Niu ShiLi was the first to start on the boys' side. After last night's rest, he finally recovered his stamina and rushed to the finish line energetically. Even Xiong YaoYue couldn't help but cheer for him.
The girls, on the other hand, had to run over to the boys' side and then stay next to the boys for a while, so everyone was very shy and no one wanted to be the first to run.
"I'll do it!" Loud Mouth heroically finished the last piece of rainbow candy, but the class leader had already walked in front of her.
Under Xiong YaoYue's command, the class leader, who was wearing a navy blue tracksuit with white stripes, ran out like an arrow leaving a bow. Her long hair was like the ink of a master calligrapher that danced in the wind.
The boys didn't even have time to make any comments before the class leader sprinted to our side. Then, she stood on my right side in a 'rest' position and prepared to welcome the other girls.
"As expected of the class leader of our 2-3 class, you're skilled in both the pen and the sword!"
The loyal dogs kept flattering the class leader, but the class leader didn't respond and only sighed.
Based on her expression, it seems like she wasn't in a good mood! Was it because she went to the pet hospital last night and found out that her repelling aura didn't disappear, so she was disappointed!
The second to run among the boys was the basketball guard, Xu LiJun, and the second to run among the girls was Loud Mouth.
Long after Xu LiJun reached the finish line, Loud Mouth was still swaying. Sun Yu, who was also a basketball guard, wanted to wait for Loud Mouth to run before he ran. Maybe he would meet a beautiful girl that way, but he couldn't stand the double disdain of the class leader and me, so he could only brace himself and run.
After a few runs, the number of boys and girls on my left and right was about the same, and everyone became more natural.
Finally, when it was Gong CaiCai's turn to start, it just so happened that it was Eunuch Cao's turn on the boys' side.
Gong CaiCai was already shivering before she even started.
