I heard you asked me to take a bath

After class, Bai Yan rushed to the dormitory panting with her textbooks in her arms. The scorching sun almost melted her body.

The summer in Xiamen is very long. Although it is already September, there is still no sign of autumn.Bai Yan climbed up the sixth floor and was already sweating profusely when he entered the room.

Roommate Ding Yao was playing games, saw him come back, and asked, "Xiaobai, are you coming to the class reunion this afternoon?"

Bai Yan's glasses slipped from the bridge of his nose due to sweat, he pushed them up with his index finger, shook his head and said, "I won't go."

Ding Yao took off the earphones: "Aren't you going? You're not going?!"

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

At this time, Zheng Chuan, who was on the upper bunk, got out from the bed tent: "Xiaobai, you are too cool. You never attend class gatherings. You are a senior. Many people in the class don't know you yet."

Bai Yan smiled apologetically, "But I have something to do this afternoon..."

"What's the matter?" Ding Yao put one hand on the back of the chair and raised his eyebrows, "I won't let you go unless you're dating a girl."

"Sister?... I don't know any girl..." Bai Yan took out a casual bag while hanging her schoolbag on the wall, and put all her mobile phone and wallet in it: "I'm going to an interview this afternoon."

"interview?"

Ding Yao and Zheng Chuan exchanged glances.

"Is that the manga studio you mentioned last time?"

"What's it called... what... what wind..."

"Qi Feng studio." Seeing how hard they recalled, Bai Yan added.

"That's right, that's right, it's Qi Feng. I heard that there are many great masters in it." Zheng Chuan scratched his chin, "The "One Leaf Boat" that ranks first on the comic website seems to be drawn by their studio."

Ding Yao looked up at him: "Yo, you also watch this one?"

"Nonsense, this comic is super popular, who hasn't read it! The author, Luo He, is a very, very good painter."

At this time, the two turned to Bai Yan together: "You were actually called by this studio for an interview? Damn, you're amazing my brother!"

"Not good, not good, I'm just interviewing for a coloring assistant, and it's a part-time job... I haven't been officially hired..." Bai Yan changed her bag, and was holding the door with one hand to put on her shoes.

"Hey! When you get there, will you be able to see Luo He?"

"I don't know that either..."

"Can you get an autograph for us?!" Ding Yao dug out a comic from his messy desk, "Look, I also bought his special edition of "One Leaf Boat."

"Okay... let me try..." Bai Yan took the manga, "Then I'll go first, the party..."

Ding Yao shrugged: "You go, I will explain to the monitor for you."

"Thank you."

After Bai Yan left, Ding Yao and Zheng Chuan glanced at each other and shook his head: "Yeah, Xiaobai is absent from the class reunion again. He doesn't usually like to talk very much. He is a senior and many people don't know him yet."

"Forget it, his character is like this, there is no way."

According to the interview address, Bai Yan took the bus to the entrance of a high-end residential area.

"Is this right here..."

Bai Yan stood outside the iron gate and took a few glances inside, it seemed to be a villa area.

He couldn't get in without a key, and the guard room was empty.

The sun was very strong at noon, and I was sweating profusely in a short time.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, find a number and dial it.

"Hello, hello!" The other party was a very brisk boy's voice.

"...Hello...I'm here for an interview...I'm at the gate of your community now..."

"Oh! Just ask the guard to open the door for you."

"...But the guard is not here..."

"Ah? Then wait a minute, I'll pick you up!"

"Thank you, thank you..."

After waiting for 5 minutes, a boy in white sportswear ran over. He had a baby face and was very energetic. He looked only 19 years old, but it was unknown how old he was.

"Long waiting! Please follow me!"

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment: "Yes! I'm sorry to trouble you..."

"Don't be so polite!" The boy smiled heartily, "My name is Lu Xian, and I'm the comic editor of Qi Feng Studio. You are... Bai Yan, right?"

"……Um."

"Hee hee, the name sounds really nice." They turned and turned around, and finally stopped in front of a three-story detached building.

Lu Xian took out the key and opened the door: "Come in."

It was the first time to visit a private comic studio, and Bai Yan felt a little novel, but also a little nervous.

The first floor is very empty. There is a bar with some cafes and wine bottles on it. On the second floor, you can see a neat row of desks with hand-painted boards. Two girls are sitting there and burying their heads in drawing. Painting, just like an office scene.

The shelf next to it is full of snacks, milk tea, coffee, and even an ice cream machine.

"This is our office area, where everyone draws. The third floor is where the teacher lives, and the fourth floor is the rooftop where you can barbecue."

"Then... what about the inner room?" Bai Yan pointed to the innermost room with a closed door.

"Oh, that... that's the teacher's studio."

Bai Yan thought to himself: ... Could it be that the teacher Lu Xian is talking about is Luo He?

If it is really Luohe, I don't know what his studio will be like.

"May I go in and take a look?"

"No way." Lu Xian shook his index finger, "Ordinary people can't just enter the teacher's studio."

The door was closed tightly, as if isolating everything outside, with a slight sense of alienation.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Bai Yan withdrew his gaze, "... Excuse me, is the teacher you mentioned Luo He? When can I see him?"

"Sure enough...everyone is here for the teacher." Lu Xian said with a smile, "In the past week, out of the ten interviewees I have received, nine of them are here for the teacher."

Bai Yan lowered her head in embarrassment.

"But what a coincidence, the teacher is not here during the day. He usually only comes at night. If you want to see him, you can only come at night."

"...Oh." Bai Yan was a little disappointed, he thought he could see the real Luohe today.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Eh?"

"Is there anything else you want to know about our studio?"

Bai Yan thought for a while, but really didn't know what to ask, so she shook her head: "...no more."

"Then let me ask you—" Lu Xian lightly stepped on his feet and sat on a desk, dangling his legs, "How many days can you guarantee working hours a week?"

"One week..." Bai Yan was stunned for a moment—is this the start of a formal interview?He couldn't help standing up straight, "I don't have classes on Mondays, Sundays, and weekends."

"Are you free on weekends? Aren't you going out to play?"

"I don't like excitement..."

"Oh~~~ That's five days." Lu Xian wrote it down in his notebook, "Okay, come to work next week."

"Huh? So, is it decided to be me?"

"That's right." Lu Xian put his hand to his mouth and made a whispering gesture, "Because the interviewees are all ungraduated, and their painting skills are about the same. It's not annoying for the teacher to pick up words, I think You talk very little, which is the most suitable for the teacher's requirements."

Bai Yan blinked her eyes in a daze—isn't it annoying to talk too little?

This is the first time I have heard of such a recruitment standard...

After a while, he came back to his senses, and said a little excitedly, "Thank you...I will work hard."

"Haha, you don't need to work hard, as long as you don't get annoyed by the teacher, it's fine. I was almost fired by the teacher several times because I talked too much, but I have a backer, so I have stayed until now." Lu Xian winked at him. blink.

Bai Yan seems to understand but does not understand - how big is the backstage?Could this person be a relative of Luo He?

"Oh, and you can ask for salary if you want."

"I don't have any requirements in this regard, the main thing is that I want to learn something from Teacher Luo He."

"Are you planning to draw a comic by yourself?"

"...Yes..." Bai Yan lowered his head and pushed his glasses, "I have always hoped to draw a manga as powerful as "One Leaf Boat". But..." He paused, "" The world setting of "One Leaf Boat" is very grand, I'm not good at screenwriting, so I haven't started writing."

"That's it..." Lu Xian thought for a while, "Hey, I happen to have an extra script here, are you interested in giving it a try?"

"script?"

"Yes, it was written by a resigned screenwriter before, and no one was drawing it. If you want it, I'll give it to you to practice." Lu Xian took out a stack of papers from the drawer next to it.

Bai Yan took it, and after opening it to read a few lines, he was stunned——

It's printed in boldface font No. [-]——Category: Modern Tanmei

Modern... danmei?

This danmei is what he understands...

So, this editor wants him to draw... homosexuality...

"Al-Forget it, I haven't painted this subject before..." He hurriedly pushed the script back.

"Hey, it doesn't matter. People have to be brave enough to break through themselves. You can take it back and draw a character set. Maybe you can draw a good character set and impress the teacher."

Make... Teacher Luo He... admire him?

Bai Yan's heart moved, and she immediately changed her mind.

"Okay, then I'll try."

So, he went back with a thick stack of BL scripts.

Back in the dormitory, before Ding Yao and Zheng Chuan went to dinner together, Bai Yan turned on the computer and started drawing.

However, the character design is more difficult to draw than he imagined.

The small Gong in the script needs to be published in two versions with three views, one with clothes on and one with topless.It is required to look thin when dressed, and to be fleshy when undressed. It will neither be as muscular as the male models in magazines, nor be as thin as Japanese manga boys.

Bai Yan poked his dimple on the left side with a pressure-sensitive pen, and fell into deep thought—it is actually very difficult to find a balance between the two. I browsed pictures of male models on the Internet. I can't find the feeling of Xiao Gong in the script at all.

Just when he was distressed, Ding Yao came back.

He threw the bag on the bed and said excitedly, "Xiaobai! Is the autograph coming?"

"No, Luo He is not here."

"...Damn... I'm so happy."

Bai Yan glanced up and down Ding Yao's body, and then stopped.

"Ding Yao."

"what?"

"What is your height and weight?"

"1.7 meters eight, one hundred and three, what's the matter?"

"You usually play basketball, right?"

"...Yeah, what's the matter? Why are you saying this all of a sudden..."

Bai Yan stood up and turned to him: "The muscles should be pretty good...Can I take off my clothes and have a look?"

"...Clam?!!!" Ding Yao immediately took a big step back, "Small, small, small, Xiaobai...you..." He swallowed, and suddenly covered his chest and squeezed, "I like it." Girl's..."

"?" Bai Yan was puzzled, "Oh. Can I take off your clothes and have a look?"

"Hey! I, I, I warn you, I'm very straight!"

At this moment, Zheng Chuan came back, and Ding Yao rushed over to hide behind him, saying, "Brother Zheng, Xiaobai is crazy, he wants to see my body!"

Zheng Chuan sneered very calmly and said, "It's rare that Xiaobai is interested, how about mine?" He said and patted his fat and trembling belly.

Bai Yan shook her head: "Forget it, don't watch it."

Later, Ding Yao finally understood Bai Yan's weird behavior after reading the script. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's so difficult about this? Master Minger will take you to the swimming pool. What kind of figure do you want?" Is there any man?"

Bai Yan thought for a while: "But I can't swim."

"It's okay, I'll buy you a swimming ring."

"Swimming ring?" Zheng Chuan made up his mind, "Swimming ring for such an adult? Are you sure?"

"What are you afraid of? Our Xiaobai is so cute and cute, so there is no sense of disobedience in using the swimming ring!" Ding Yao turned to Bai Yan, "Leave him alone, and then you can concentrate on finding a suitable figure in the swimming pool and take pictures as material , Be careful not to be discovered, or you will be beaten."

Bai Yan nodded solemnly: "Yes! Okay!"

The next day, Ding Yao brought Bai Yan to a swimming pool closest to their university.

The white banquet wears a swimming ring with the pattern of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, which is particularly eye-catching by the pool.

"Xiaobai, I think you should take off your glasses."

"No, I can't see it if I take it off..."

Bai Yan hurriedly protected her glasses.

"How can you swim without taking off your glasses?" Ding Yao wanted to persuade him again, but he caught a glimpse of some beautiful girls in the middle of the swimming pool from the corner of his eye, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he said, "...Hey, forget it, whatever you want, I Go swim a couple of laps and play by yourself." Then he plunged into the water.

"Wait..." Before Bai Yan could speak, Ding Yao had disappeared.

Bai Yan was standing by the pool with her swimming ring in her arms, hesitating whether to go down for a try, behind her was a young couple who were fighting, talking about something, the girl pushed the boy's shoulder coquettishly, the boy stepped back, directly into his back.

There was water by the pool, and the ground was very slippery, so Bai Yan lost his center of gravity when he was fully prepared.

Oops……

The only words that flashed through his head at the moment when he fell into the water were: You must hold on to my Pleasant Goat...

"thump!"

"Crash-"

After a while of confusion, Bai Yan plunged into the water. The sudden panic of falling into the water caused him to choke on a big mouthful of water. The pool water that almost filled his lungs made him almost unable to breathe. What's more sad, the swimming ring had already slipped Out of the waist, I don't know where it went...

In desperation, he fluttered his hands in the water, and suddenly touched someone's arm.

Eh?

It seems...very solid...

He squeezed a couple of times, but couldn't control that much anymore, he grabbed that arm desperately...

For... dying in the pool—

Too shameful!

"Hey."

At this time, the owner of that arm seemed to have spoken, but Bai Yan couldn't hear him at all. The constant water pouring into his mouth and nose made him lose the consciousness of thinking, and he could only instinctively hold his arm tightly.

"Hey... I said..."

A pair of hands stretched out to the sides of his body, hugged and lifted him, lifting him out of the water.

Bai Yan's feet stuck to the tiles at the bottom of the swimming pool, swayed a few times, and then stood firm.

Eh?

Stand, stand still?

Only then did he realize that the water in the pool actually only reached his chest...

At this moment, Bai Yan was dumbfounded.

"Are you okay?" A deep and pleasant man's voice came to his ears, but the tone sounded more teasing than caring.

Recalling the flustered behavior just now as if he felt that he would drown, Bai Yan couldn't help but blush...

"I'm fine...thank you." He lowered his head and replied softly.

The hands that supported the sides of his body paused for a moment, then let go.

"Is that thing yours?" The tall man pointed to the side. On the blue swimming pool, the Pleasant Goat swimming ring floated slowly...

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling even more embarrassed, hurried over to grab it, and put it on himself.

At this time, the man seemed to laugh, but when he looked up, the man had already turned around, and he only had time to see the extremely thin corners of his lips that were slightly raised.

The author has something to say: Interviewer: Please use three words to describe your first impression of the other party Bai Yan: tall, strong, and sexy Luo He: Stupid, very stupid, indescribably extreme stupid.

Bai Yan: ... Teacher, this is too much.
