"You want me to tell the truth or a lie..."
"truth···"
"To be honest, apart from the nice painting style, there is nothing good about it." Ling Ling said expressionlessly.
“Eh!?”

Chapter 266: Handsome for only three seconds
"I...that..."
After hearing Ling Ling's evaluation, Jiang Xue was also confused. She really didn't expect that the fanzines she had carefully drawn would be useless in the eyes of her master except for the style of painting.
Ling Ling also knew that what she said was somewhat hurtful, but it was all the truth, and the fact that only three copies were sold in a day was also there.
"Is it true that I am not suitable for painting?" Jiang Xue murmured to herself with a shocked look on her face.
Jiang Xue has loved painting since she was a child. Her dream since she was a child is to become a cartoonist. Although this wish is very beautiful, she has always been opposed by her parents, who say that painting has no future and it would be better for her to find someone to marry and inherit the family business.
Jiang Xue had a good family background. Although her parents were farmers, the government happened to requisition her family's land during development and she received a considerable amount of compensation.
And her father was not a man who dared to be ordinary. After receiving a large sum of compensation, he did not become complacent, but started a business with the compensation.
Jiang Xue's father really had a good business acumen, and his business grew bigger and bigger, until now he could be considered a wealthy man.
After Jiang Xue graduated from university, they couldn't wait to start arranging blind dates for her. Although Jiang Xue's crying and making a fuss basically messed things up, she also knew that this was not a solution.
In order to realize her dream, Jiang Xue resolutely chose to run away from home and came to S City with the money she had saved during college.
As a young lady, she rented a high-end single apartment as soon as she arrived in S City and began her journey as a cartoonist. However, the reality was cruel. She had conceived the comics in college and submitted them countless times, but no comic magazine accepted them. At this time, she had very little money left.
Helpless Jiang Xue had to give up the high-end single apartment she was living in, found the place where Ling Ling used to live, found a job in a maid cafe, and started a frugal life. She was used to spending money lavishly, so she was not used to it at first, and she even thought about giving up something.
However, Jiang Xue was not someone who gave up easily. With Ling Ling's guidance, she soon came to terms with it and adapted to her current life very quickly. She even felt that her current life was pretty good.
But Ling Ling's words just now made her start to doubt whether it was wrong for her to draw comics.
Seeing the distraught Jiang Xue, Ling Ling walked up to her and gently patted her on the shoulder, saying softly: "Are you beginning to doubt your life just because of what I just said?"
"I..." Jiang Xue opened her mouth. If an ordinary person said this to her, she would definitely just laugh it off. But this was said by the person she trusted the most, and it was really a big blow to her.
"If you're going to give up drawing comics just because of this setback, then I think it would be better for you to just give up~"
"No..." Jiang Xue directly expressed her true feelings without any hesitation. She didn't want to give up drawing comics. Drawing comics has always been her dream. She had overcome her parents' opposition. Even if the person she trusted the most said so to her, her love for comics would not change!
Ling Ling glanced at Jiang Xue and chuckled. It was the same when he was writing novels in the past. He worked hard to conceive and write the novel, but not only did it fail miserably, but it was also belittled by others as worthless. Even his own friends did not think highly of him. At that time, Ling Ling felt as if the whole world had isolated him.
She had wanted to give up writing novels many times, but she persisted in order to show more people the bizarre world in her mind, a world full of infinite possibilities.
She felt that Jiang Xue now was very similar to herself in the past.
"I don't know much about comics, but do you know 'Local Difficulty'?"
Jiang Xue nodded. 'Local Difficulty' was one of the big names in the 18+ comics world, how could she not know him? But she didn't know why her master said that. Could it be that her master knew 'Local Difficulty'
"I had a great time chatting and laughing with her~"
Hearing Ling Ling's words, Jiang Xue's eyes suddenly lit up. Since her master said so, does it mean...
"If you prepare the right gifts, I believe she would be happy to teach you something. As for your question about the plot, have you forgotten what your master does?"
After listening to Ling Ling's words, Jiang Xue suddenly felt a sour nose. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only say "Thank you~"
"I bought this doujinshi. You are my disciple after all. You are not allowed to say you don't want money."
After Ling Ling handed the money to his apprentice with a smile, he turned around in an elegant manner... Then Ling Ling felt as if he had bumped into something and hit his forehead. From the faint fragrance wafting from the body, Ling Ling could tell that the person he had bumped into was probably a girl.
However, Ling Ling always felt familiar with this fragrance, as if she had asked about it somewhere before. However, the pain from hitting her forehead made her give up thinking temporarily.
"Is it true that I can't be handsome for more than three seconds?" Ling Ling covered his forehead with his hands, thinking with tears in his heart, I have done well enough just now, and I have looked cool enough, but why, why did it turn out like this!
"No... I'm sorry." However, no matter how he complained in his heart, Ling Ling still knew that he had bumped into someone.
"No...it's okay." The girl who was hit said softly, then left silently.
Hearing that voice, that familiar feeling appeared again. Ling Ling subconsciously put down the hand that was covering his forehead, raised his head and looked forward, and found that the girl he bumped into had disappeared in the crowd.
"Are you okay? Ling Ling~" Bai Yiyue hurriedly walked to Ling Ling's side, saw the red forehead, and said with some heartache.
Ling Ling shook her head. It did hurt when she was hit just now, but it wasn't a big deal now.
"Really~Mom, when you are trying to be cool, you don't even pay attention to the situation around you. What if you hit a wall?" Ling Yu put his hands on his waist and preached to his mom.
"However, Mom's performance just now was very cool~" Ling Yu chuckled and added.

"Let's...break up!"
"Why?"
"I just think we are not suitable~"
At this moment, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

"Tsk! Why would I have this dream?"
Ling Ling opened her hazy eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling in front of her. She didn't expect that after so much time had passed, she could still have such a dream. She had been going to bed early and getting up late recently, and her life was very regular. She must have been too tired from visiting the comic exhibition yesterday, so she had such a dream.
Ling Ling wanted to reach out and take the mobile phone on the bedside table to check the time, but found that her arms were hugged by two lolis, one big and one small. She carefully pulled her arms out of the arms of the two little girls, and then carefully covered them with the quilt. Then Ling Ling picked up the phone and quietly walked out of the room.
Although it was probably still quite early, she really didn't feel like taking a nap.
Ling Ling came to the balcony, breathing in the fresh air in the morning, and some things from her past life emerged in her mind. She thought she had forgotten them, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't let them go.
