The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

"You, what are you talking nonsense about?"

Xia Qiu looked at her flustered look and couldn't help laughing: "Ying Lili, you look so cute when you blush."

Hearing this, Ying Lili stamped her feet shyly, and simply walked to the front quickly, saying without turning her head: "I don't want to bother with you! You guys take your time!"

Xia Qiu looked at her back, smiled and shook his head, then said to Qiongmei and Eromanga-sensei, "Let's go, let's follow her, don't let her wait anxiously alone."

The two girls looked at each other and nodded, secretly sighing in their hearts that Sister Golden Hair was really easy to control.

Afterwards, Xia Qiu and his friends bought a box of fireworks and came to an empty riverbank. There were fewer people here and the impact of setting off fireworks was not that great.

"Okay, let's get started!" Xia Qiu smiled and opened the fireworks box, took out a few handheld fireworks and handed them to Qiongmei and Eromanga teacher, "Let's play with this first, it's safe and beautiful."

Qiong-mei took the fireworks and waved them happily: "Onii-chan, light them quickly! I want to be the first one to set them off!"

Eromanga-sensei carefully took the fireworks, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation on her face. She whispered, "Thank you... This is my first time setting off fireworks."

Xia Qiu smiled gently, took out a lighter and helped them light the fireworks.

In an instant, brilliant sparks bloomed in the night sky, shining on their faces, making them look exceptionally beautiful.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Sister Qiong jumped up excitedly, and the fireworks in her hands drew golden arcs.

Teacher Eromanga looked at the fireworks in his hand, his eyes full of surprise and emotion.

She whispered softly, "So... this is how fireworks feel in your hands. They're much more beautiful than watching them through a screen."

Ying Lili stood aside, looking at their happy faces, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

But she soon realized her expression, turned her head away, and said indifferently, "Humph, it's just fireworks, what's so exciting about it..."

Xia Qiu walked up to her, handed her a firework, and said with a smile: "Ying Lili, you should try it too, don't always stand by and watch."

Eriri glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the fireworks, muttering softly: "I don't want to play with them, I just don't want to waste them..."

Xia Qiu smiled, did not expose her, and helped her light the fireworks.

Eriri looked at the sparks blooming in her hands, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her tsundere expression: "Well, it's not bad, barely interesting."

At this moment, Eromanga suddenly walked up to Xia Qiu and Eriri, with a hint of hesitation and shyness on her face. She lowered her head, twisted her fingers nervously, and whispered, "Xia Qiu brother, Eriri sister... I, I have a request..."

Xia Qiu and Ying Lili looked at each other, both a little confused.

Xia Qiu asked gently, "Eromanga-sensei, what's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Eromanga-sensei's face turned even redder, and his voice was almost inaudible: "Well... I'm drawing a new book recently, but there are some scenes... I, I'm not quite sure how to draw them... So, I would like to ask you... to give me some reference..."

When Ying Lili heard this, her eyes widened and a blush appeared on her face: "You, you don't want us to... be your models?"

My colleague, how can you do this in broad daylight?

Eromanga-sensei nodded and lowered his voice. "Well... just some... intimate interaction scenes... I, I want to draw it more realistically..."

Ying Lili's hair instantly exploded, her face turned red like a ripe apple, and her voice rose an octave: "W-what are you talking about! How can I agree to such a request! It's so, so embarrassing!"

Xia Qiu was also a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Eromanga-sensei, this request is indeed a bit... um, not quite appropriate, right?"

Eromanga-sensei raised his head, his big wet eyes full of pleading and expectation: "But... I really need a reference... Xiaqiu brother, Eriri sister, please help me... I promise, it's just a reference, I won't draw too much..."

Ying Lili was a little shaken by her gaze, but she still said stubbornly: "No means no! How can I agree to such a shameful thing!"

Sensei Eromanga looked at Qiongmei for help again, with a hint of threat.

Brother-loving sister, you also want me to help you conquer your older sister, right?!

The mouth of Qiongmei, which was slightly opened in shock, suddenly closed when she looked at Eromanga-sensei. She was very conflicted, and her mind kept replaying the promise she made when she took Eromanga-sensei out to play - some conditions that promised to help her complete the picture book.

Qiong-mei bit her lower lip, looked at Xia Qiu, then looked at Eromanga-sensei who was looking expectant, and finally mustered up the courage and whispered, "Onii-chan..."

Her voice was a little hesitant. "Um... When I asked Eromanga-sensei to come out, I seemed to have said that I would help her complete some of the requirements in the sketchbook..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Qiu secretly, her eyes full of guilt, "So... let's... help her this time."

When Xia Qiu heard what Sister Qiong said, he suddenly understood.

No wonder. For a senior old house owner to be able to go out, there must be some great benefit that makes him come out, otherwise how could he come out?

Only this time, he was treated as a good person.

Xia Qiu didn't blame Qiongmei for her thoughts, but just felt it was a little funny.

Then, he looked at Eromanga-sensei who was full of expectation, then looked at Eriri who was angry, and said with a smile: "Okay, just this once, Eromanga-sensei, you must keep your word and only draw a simple reference."

Ying Lili, who was standing next to him, opened her eyes wider when she heard this. She stared at Xia Qiu in disbelief and shame: "Are you crazy? You actually agreed to such a ridiculous request!"

Xia Qiu walked over to Ying Lili with a smile, gently took her hand, and looked ashamed.

"Eri, help her just this once. Kyon-sister also said she made a promise before, and Eromanga-sensei also promised not to overdo the drawing."

His eyes were full of pleading, "Let's just think of this as a favor for a friend, okay?"

Eriri's face turned red and white as Xia Qiu held her hand. She looked at Xia Qiu's earnest eyes, then at Eromanga-sensei and Qiong-sister who were looking at her eagerly. She finally compromised and muttered softly, "Really? Just this once, never again!"

With everyone's agreement, a smile instantly spread across Eromanga's face. She quickly took out a sketchbook and pencil from her bag and said nervously, "Well... I'll start... You guys... just make a simple hug first..."

Xia Qiu and Ying Lili moved closer to each other somewhat uncomfortably. Xia Qiu gently put his arm around Ying Lili's shoulders. Ying Lili's face turned red and her eyes looked around, but she didn't dare to look at Xia Qiu.

Sister Qiong stood aside, watching the two people's embarrassment. For a moment, she felt a little jealous and her eyes were sore.

Is this considered shooting oneself in the foot?

Hehe, I also want to do this with Onii-chan!
