The smell of cold instant noodles wafted in the room. Beside the workbench was a pile of candy wrappers. Long Long held a lollipop in his mouth and moved his pen numbly. His cheek softened and changed to the other side.

He wanted to smoke too much, but Xiao Wei took away all his "criminal tools" and gave him a big box of lollipops, letting him have a candy in his mouth when he wanted to smoke.

But no matter how sweet the candy was, it couldn’t save him from the anxiety in his heart at this time. The message of the picture text was still stuck on the “recipe” section. Glance back to see if the other party is moving.

But no, there was deathly silence, it was almost twelve o'clock now, the lights in Xiao Wei's dormitory at school were all turned off, but he still hadn't waited for the steps given to him by the painting.

This is unscientific... Every time there is a situation in the chat, Huawen will give him a step down. Long Long accepts this kind of reconciliation as a matter of course, but he is more and more concerned about Huawen's reaction.

Today... Is Huawen really angry?He didn't even give him a step, and just ignored him.

Long Long became more and more anxious as he waited, and at the end he couldn't help but want to reply "I want the recipe you wrote to me quickly", when a message popped up.

The sound of "ding dong" came from a stranger. Long Long didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he saw the other person's head portrait - a tattoo of epiphyllum, his eyes instantly turned cold.

Stranger: [Brother Long, long time no see, I'm back in China. ]

Stranger: [Is the Prison Flame Studio okay?I can't get in touch with those people, only you. ]

Stranger: [How is Xiaowei?She should be in her third year of high school, and I still miss her, but I don't know if she still wants to see me. ]

Stranger: [Brother Long, I actually came back last month, but I dare not look for you. In fact, I really miss Prison Yan, Xiao Yang, and you. ]

Stranger: [Can we meet again? ]

Long Long indifferently watched the other party keep sending messages, a strand of long hair hanging from his ear covered the corner of his mocking mouth, but he looked up at the photo frame on the workbench, there was a photo of Xiao Yang and him, the side was obviously torn After going to a person, he couldn't help showing a complicated expression.

After a long time, he replied: [At three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, the coffee shop under the studio. ]

dragon: [Lin Lin, this is the last time we meet, I hope you understand. ]

Lin Lin: [...Okay, I understand. ]

In the early morning of this day, Huawen handed in the final revised draft, and lay on the bed with a confused mind, unexpectedly, he didn't realize that Long Long was equally abnormally silent, and he didn't speak out after receiving his manuscript.

Huawen has been thinking about the woman with the epiphyllum tattoo, which is obviously related to Xiao Yang and Long Long, but it seems to involve Xiao Yang's sudden death, so he has to pay attention to this woman.

Ah Wu told him that her name was Lin Lin.

There is no misunderstanding between Huawen and Wu, the other party has always been a man, but he is familiar with him by nature, besides, he wants to learn Huawen's cooking skills and use it to please the goddess, so he is extra flattering to him.

After figuring it out, Huawen didn't reject Ah Wu any more, but it quietly told him to pay attention to that woman named Lin Lin, so don't be a spare tire.

Although this silly dog ​​seems to have been tricked.

He sighed and stopped worrying about Ah Wu's emotional problems. He focused on thinking about Lin Lin's return to China. Could it be related to the prison flame studio?

Is she the heroine?Long Long wants to pry into the corner of the brother's wall... This matter can be found inconceivable in the text.

Let's take a step for now, Huawen gradually fell asleep, and when he was about to fall asleep, he was still thinking about Longlong's recipes, and when he asked for it, he would give it to him directly. I'm so tired these days, don't bother that Tsundere oh... gurgling...

Two days later, it was the fourth anniversary of "Rorty's World" and the day when a new episode was released.

In the high-end community where the prison Yan studio is located, there is a traditional book bar and coffee shop downstairs. There is a man and a woman sitting in the corner, which is particularly eye-catching.

Although they sat sideways, the two of them have extraordinary looks and outstanding temperament. A mature lady with big waves, gentle and intellectual, and a gloomy artist with long hair, so beautiful that her gender is somewhat ambiguous.

"Two guests, please use slowly."

The proprietress specially brought refreshments, just to see what kind of beauty the fairy handsome guy who lived near them had dated.

But as soon as they arrived here, they found that the atmosphere of the two of them was very dignified. It didn't look like they were on a date, but rather like they were attending a memorial service.

Long Long didn't sleep all night, took a nap at noon, rubbed the space between his brows and took a sip of coffee, enduring his irritability to break the oppressive silence: "If you want to sit for an hour, I'm very busy and have to go back."

"Brother Long..." Lin Lin just raised her head, her eyes gave him a restless look, "I have a lot to say to you, but I think it's too late..."

Long Long sneered: "It's too late, your ghost benefactor still supports you?"

Lin Lin clenched her lower lip, as if she had been greatly wronged: "Brother Long, you have to listen to my explanation. Back then... I was really short of money, and my mother pointed me at me to buy medicine for her when she was sick. Well, painting in those years couldn't make any money, so I could only... But even if my mother went abroad for treatment, she still couldn't survive last winter."

Long Long didn't like to face women's tears, so he looked away unnaturally: "You...sorry, everyone has his own life."

"I broke up with that person when I returned to China. In the past three years, I have liked Xiao Yang from the beginning to the end." Lin Lin covered her face in tears, "I can't bear the prison flames, and I can't bear to bear you, but I really can't help it..."

Long Long was already irritable, but when he heard the ear-piercing cry, he burst out with anger uncontrollably: "Then you leave without saying goodbye, and leave without saying anything?! Xiao Yang bought you an engagement ring! Even though it was only a silver ring, and even though our studio had no money at the time and paid back, how could you not say anything! How could you treat him like this!"

Lin Lin wept silently with red eyes, as if she was the most wronged and had never done these things.

"Run if you want, I owe it to you when I brought you two together!" Long Long clenched his hands on the table into fists, "But why did you leave that letter behind? Depreciate your relationship with Xiao Yang." Worthless, turning our original dream into a joke, are you happy?"

Lin Lin shook her head in horror: "No... I didn't mean that! I just want Xiao Yang to dislike me and hate me, so that my departure won't hurt him too much..."

"You don't know that he was mentally weak during that time? You stimulated him so much, whether it was intentional or unintentional, what's the difference between killing him indirectly?!"

The more Long Long spoke, the more excited he became, everyone in the coffee shop looked over and watched the movement here in amazement.

He took a breather, and the cup in his hand was about to be crushed: "So, don't tell me now that you are reluctant, don't say regrets, I won't listen, if you still have a conscience, go to Xiao Yang's cemetery and tell him yourself ,I am leaving."

"Don't! Brother Long! Brother Long!" Lin Lin hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and almost knelt down, "Brother!!!"

Long Long finally stopped, he didn't want to look at the woman crying embarrassingly behind him at all, but people around him condemned and commented on him one after another, he really had no choice but to sit back in his seat suppressing his anger.

"I'll give you another 10 minutes at the end, and disappear from my eyes when I finish speaking." Long Long counted the time with his watch, and stopped looking at her.

Lin Lin wiped her tears and said with a sob: "I went back to China to atone for my sins. It was my fault that I left the studio at the most difficult time, but I heard that the studio is short of people now. I... I can Come back again?"

The prison flame studio was founded by the three of them together. The three of them are brothers and sisters from the same school and major. Long Long has a weird temper but is very good to his friends. The latter three became good friends and opened a studio together. At that time, they had no capital but paintbrushes and enthusiasm. They started everything with their dreams.

All the beginnings were difficult, and it was the same for Yuyan Studio. They had no money, no fame, and no platform. The three of them were struggling as if they were giving money. Later, they joined a few partners and worked together with blood and tears.

Later, their "Rorty World" finally got better. When the studio was thriving, the comic platform suddenly changed. They were cheated out of their money, and "Rorty World" may have been dusty and buried.

Xiao Yang and Long Long couldn't be reconciled, just when others were discouraged, they were the two of them who tried their best to survive, but turned around and got stabbed by the closest person...

Lin Lin ran away with a foreigner for money. Xiao Yang also chose an engagement ring that day, and was going to go back to give her a surprise, because they had negotiated with another platform that day, and the studio would improve immediately. Lin Lin's room was empty, and Xiao Yang's favorite person, who was on top of his heart, and even the lover who took her as the prototype of the protagonist of the comic, just ran away without saying goodbye.

Xiao Yang died suddenly from overwork, and a big reason was that he was too sad. At that time, Long Long couldn't persuade him and could only accompany him in depression. Watching his brother suffering while insisting on manga management, overdrawing his life day and night, It seems to vent the last strength for the loss of a loved one.

Long Long was once worried about Xiao Yang's situation, but he had to go out to face others for the sake of the studio. Xiao Yang's situation was no longer suitable for discussion, and he could only leave everything to him.

Long Long went on a business trip for a week, and returned to the studio exhausted physically and mentally. He wanted to show everyone the results of the good talk and cheer up Xiao Yang, but he found that the room was full of policemen and doctors, as well as Xiao Wei's howling.

At that time, he hated himself and hated this unfair fate. Why did his best friend who worked hard with him until now only end up like this in the end? !

After bidding farewell to Xiao Yang, the studio was on the verge of disbanding, and only he and Xiao Wei were left, barely maintaining their dignity on the surface. Every night when they were overdrawn, Long Long would think, would he be as hateful as Xiao Yang?

But he didn't give in, at least he still had a dream, and the underage sister entrusted to him, so he could persevere.

Later, this pressure gradually eased, and it was half a month ago, with the addition of paintings and texts, that he regained a sliver of faith in living hard.

This person is amazing...so understanding of him, yet so gentle, as if there is no anxiety that he can't resolve, as long as we chat with him and draw together for a while, all problems can be solved easily.

He felt that he should find such a person, just stay by his side all the time, don't force anything else, just being with him is good.

It would be great if Xiao Yang could find such a good person, instead of this crying woman who broke his heart, betrayed her friends.

"...Brother Long, can I come back? I just want to help you!" Lin Lin said eagerly, "I don't want money, I don't want anything, I just... want to share some for you."

"Oh... share it for me? Why not for Xiao Yang?" Long Long said casually.

Lin Lin was a little embarrassed for a moment, paused and said quickly: "I also want to watch "The World of Rorty" get better and better. It was created by the three of us, isn't it?" She couldn't help touching the back of her neck. Epiphyllum tattoo, there is still some sting.

"Didn't this tattoo come back after washing it? You didn't think of the studio until more than a month after you returned to China, so you probably don't care much about it. What excuses do you use to fool me?" Long Long continued to tear off her disguise mercilessly. .

"No! No!" Lin Lin seemed to be unable to speak, and panicked to persuade her to stay, "I came back to settle down. I've been busy for more than a month. I don't plan to go abroad anymore. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. I want to come back and pay for my sins!"

"Junior Sister Lin, why are you so humble?" Long Long is no longer angry, but instead smiled, "I, Long Long, even if I am exhausted from painting and my "Rorty World" is forced to stop updating, I will not Need a little help from you."

At [-] o'clock that night, Long Long initiated a poll in the Prison Flame studio group: Do you agree with Lin Lin joining the studio?
