In his previous life, Mei Fang often raised art needs and fought for art, so he knew how difficult it was to find a good artist. He had always enthusiastically envisioned the future of art to Guo Yun.
Guo Yun actually knew some knowledge about designing her favorite characters, creating her favorite scenes, making her own character for a game, including galgames like "Clannad" or animations. But hearing these words from Mei Fang made her feel very different.
There is a feeling of finally being recognized.
The person who recognized this was still Mei Fang...
Guo Yun, who was originally extremely socially anxious, scratched his head and gave an extremely embarrassed smile.
Just when Mei Fang was frantically trying to persuade Guo Yun about the benefits of studying art, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi appeared at the classroom door, looking for him.
"Fang! Why haven't you come back to class yet? You're almost late—"
While Xia Yuan was scolding Mei Fang, she couldn't help but be attracted by the blackboard drawing made by Guo Yun:
“This is amazing… I’ve never seen a blackboard painting like this!”
“Ah, ah, ah…”
Lin Youxi also exclaimed in a rare exclamation, "This is the 'slope under the cherry blossoms', the famous scene where Tomoya and Nagisa first met..."
Xia Yuan trotted over to Mei Fang and asked, "Ah Fang, Ah Fang, were all these drawn by your classmate?"
"Yes, they were all drawn by Guo Yun. I was also scared by her."
It goes without saying that Guo Yun had already known Lin Youxi. She also knew Xia Yuan. After all, when Yue Xinyi was preaching to her, she also mentioned that Mei Fang had another childhood sweetheart in the next class with whom she was very close. Lin Youxi's aura had already suppressed her to the point where she couldn't raise her head. Seeing Xia Yuan so closely made her feel astonished and ashamed of herself, so she quickly stepped back a long way.
"I've loved drawing these since I was a kid... I just doodled to practice... This one is different from the layout that Yue Xinyi asked for, so I'll erase it now."
"No need to wipe it. Why should I wipe it?"
Lin Youxi shook her head. "This issue of the blackboard newspaper will be based on yours."
"But, but this composition doesn't have much space for writing."
"I don't think there's any need to write any text. Just find some free time to add the spring theme."
There were only four people in the classroom. Xia Yuan put his arm around Mei Fang's neck and talked to her without any hesitation, which made Guo Yun blush when she saw this.
"Oh, right, Fang! Since Guo Yun is so good at drawing, you don't have to pay outside artists to make the games you make in the future. Wouldn't it be great to let Guo Yun help you draw?"
When Mei Fang heard Xia Yuan reveal her intentions, she almost fainted from anger.
Ah! I haven't opened the map of Yan State yet, Yuanyuan, what do you mean by pulling out my dagger
"Mei Fang... are you playing games?"
Lin Youxi also chimed in, "We did one before, and we're working on the website now. Speaking of which... the website's icon and mascot are currently using very temporary resources. Guo Yun, if you can draw on a board, maybe you can help us."
Also, I still make websites!
Mei Fang pulled Xia Yuan's hand away, knocked on Xia Yuan's head, and then whispered to Lin Youxi, "Didn't we agree not to tell anyone in the class about these things? If the teacher finds out, we'll be in big trouble!"
"But..." Xia Yuan covered her head and cried, why didn't Ah Fang beat You Xi and only bullied me.
"I, I won't tell you! What I saw and heard today..." Guo Yun swallowed, "I won't tell you even if you kill me!"
"Ha... it's not that exaggerated."
Mei Fang smiled and said, "We are developing games and websites, but we don't know any friends who are good at painting, so we can only buy resources from outside. Seeing that you are so talented, I think it would be a pity if you don't learn painting in the future..."
"Um, well... I, I will have a good talk with my family." Guo Yun lowered her head, not daring to speak loudly.
"Then it will be great from now on. You can make games together. Ah Fang will write the plan, You Xi will write the code, Guo Yun can draw, and I can write the music. This way we can make even better games."
"Others haven't agreed yet, but you've got a good idea. Besides, it's the second semester of the second year of junior high school, so studying is the most important thing."
"If you don't mind...if you don't mind me."
Guo Yun raised her head and said seriously, "I can try! I also want to... want to try."
Everyone is looking forward to me...
Guo Yun felt very happy because she was needed, as if little flowers were blooming behind her.
The expression is written all over his face...
"Look! Look, I told you she likes it too!"
"Alright, alright...it's getting late, let's go back to class."
Mei Fang and the other two returned to the classroom to continue their cram school classes, and described to Yue Xinyi the wonderful sight they had seen in Class 9's classroom.
At first, Yue Xinyi thought that her typesetting was so good that she couldn't change all of it. But after the supplementary class, when the group took Yue Xinyi to see the blackboard painting that Guo Yun was drawing, Yue Xinyi was stunned and finally fell into a state of self-destruction.
"The typography I drew is some kind of elementary school kid's stuff..."
"Isn't this style a bit too unique... Um, I'm not saying I'm great, it's just..."
Guo Yun was not used to being the focus of everyone's conversation. "I was afraid that Teacher Li would have a problem with us."
"Is Li Shibing's place okay? If anything happens, don't we still have our squad leader here?"
Mei Fang patted Lin Youxi's shoulder, and Lin Youxi frowned and angrily said to Mei Fang, "What do you mean I'm here?"
"Li Shibing also wants to listen to your opinion, right?"
"I don't have that power."
"And you still say you didn't?"
So shining...
Shine with this group of people, even I—
Guo Yun, who was originally happy, saw her bloated and fat figure through the reflection of the window and immediately became a little disappointed.
Because they had to wait for Mei Fang and Lin Youxi to go home together, Xia Yuan naturally came along to help draw the blackboard newspaper. When the group finished the final work of the blackboard painting, it was already very late. Several people were chatting and laughing as they prepared to go home. Guo Yun followed behind alone. As a result, when they reached the stairs, they found that the door to the school floor was locked by the school's security guard.
Everyone was shouting desperately to see if anyone was there, but in such a big school, not a single response could be heard.
"We are doomed now. We won't spend the night here." Yue Xinyi grumbled in distress. "The doorman is really a jerk. Why did he lock the door without checking if there were any students? I am so angry."
At this time, Mei Fang and Xia Yuan came back from the other side of the teaching building. "The door over there is also locked, but you can climb down from the railing at the entrance of the corridor. Ah Fang and I tried it and it's not very high. Let's go over there and take a look!"
So the group followed Mei Fangxiayuan to the entrance of the corridor on the other side. The railing was not blocked by iron nets, and there was a desk under the railing, which seemed to be a relatively safe distance.
"Let me try it first."
Mei Fang, the only boy in the group, volunteered.
"Afang...be careful."
Mei Fang easily climbed over the railing, checked, and landed steadily on the table.
"It's quite sturdy. It's a new desk. You guys can jump over here too."
"Afang, you must catch me!"
Xia Yuan was the second one to try. She slid down carefully holding the railing, then jumped down and fell into the arms of Mei Fang who opened his arms to welcome her.
"Exciting!" Xia Yuan seemed very happy.
Lin Youxi was the third one, but when Mei Fang was about to reach out to help her, she jumped onto the table, so Mei Fang just pulled her gently.
"Youxi's legs are too long!"
Yue Xinyi was about to jump down holding the railing, but the person who was waiting for her on the desk turned out to be Lin Youxi.
As for Mei Fang, he was being pulled away by Xia Yuan to gossip.
No way, Miss Xia, your Ah Fang is so outstanding that even a girl would think of him!
Mei Fang, you have done so many bad things!
Yue Xinyi's favorability towards Mei Fang is -50.
Lin Youxi caught Yue Xinyi steadily.
In the end, only Guo Yun was left.
Because she was quite fat, she had a hard time even climbing over the railing and lifting her legs to sit. After everyone encouraged her several times, Guo Yun had no choice but to give up.
So Mei Fang suggested: "Guo Yun, let's do this. We'll help you find the security guard or someone else who has the key. Can you wait here for a while?"
"Ah... Yeah, sure."
Guo Yun nodded, but then added, "If you really can't find it, it's okay if you don't wait for me. I can wait for the guard myself."
"What are you talking about? There is no way we can leave you here alone."
Xia Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we will probably find someone at the security department and they will be here soon."
Mei Fang took out a piece of paper and a pen from her schoolbag. "Guo Yun, tell me your home phone number. I'm afraid it will be too late and your family will be worried. I'll go to the security department to make a call for you first."
"Hmm... OK..."
Guo Yun squatted at the entrance of the corridor waiting for rescue.
At first she thought it was nothing, but as time went on, she gradually began to feel uneasy.
Are they going to leave me here alone
Shouldn't, probably not...
Maybe there is no one in the Security Department now, so they went to look for someone somewhere else
But in the final analysis, it’s because I’m too fat, otherwise everyone would have gone home long ago.
I have become a burden to everyone, and there is nothing wrong with leaving me here.
Otherwise, I'll try to climb over.
Guo Yun gritted her teeth and decided to try climbing the railing again. However, just as she took a step forward and was about to climb up, she was startled by a sound coming from behind her.
"Hey, you don't have to try!"
When Guo Yun saw that the person coming was Mei Fang, she was so frightened that she was at a loss and almost slipped at the stairs.
"I, I I I... It's not that I don't believe you... It's—"
"I know, I know, I've waited too long!"
Mei Fang handed Guo Yun a bottle of pulse drink from the railing, "You must be thirsty after waiting for so long, please drink this."
"Thank you... I'll give you the money later."
"I said I invited you! Why pay for it?"
Guo Yun lowered her head as if she had been scolded and did not dare to talk back. Mei Fang casually talked about their experiences after they got out.
I went to the Security Office but found the door was locked. I went to the Academic Affairs Office but the teacher was nowhere to be found either. I finally found a phone booth but the phone card was broken. Finally, I found a teacher waiting at the school gate and was able to contact the security guard who was sleeping in the Security Office through him.
"They are already getting the keys from the security guard. I was worried that you would get scared if you waited too long, so I came here first."
"… "
Guo Yun squatted in the corner with her knees hugged. After listening to Mei Fang's account of what happened, her voice seemed a little choked.
"I always thought that an ugly fat woman like me would never be cared for by a boy in my life..."
"What are you talking about! We are classmates and we won't make fun of you for this." Mei Fang said seriously.
"Growing up, both boys and girls would call me a fat pig, so I always played by myself, and gradually I fell in love with anime and drawing..."
Guo Yun continued to mutter:
"However, I never dared to show my paintings to others, for fear that they would laugh at me... My mother always scolded me for eating too much. She said that since I was so determined to learn to paint, how could I not even eat less..."
As Guo Yun was talking, she suddenly started laughing to herself.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm talking to you about such a meaningless topic, you don't have to care about it, just pretend you didn't hear it..."
"Guo Yun, listen to me."
Mei Fang knocked gently on the iron door. "Although this may be a cliché, everyone has their own shining points and shortcomings. There is no need to live life dwelling on your own shortcomings and flaws. Moreover, no matter what, I think it is very rude to laugh at others' figures and appearances."
"But, to be honest, don't you think I'm annoying? For example, you feel sick when you see me... Because sometimes I feel sick when I look at myself. In fact, I have thought about losing weight, but I think that after losing weight, I will just be a little skinny and ugly, so I don't have the motivation to work hard... So, haha, it's actually my own fault that I can't stick to it."
"No, no, no, you just have too low self-esteem... You're really not as bad as you think! I think being chubby is pretty good. And you're so good at drawing, and you have a very good personality. I think you're easier to get along with than many girls of the same age. It's just that you're a little too much of a pleaser, and that can only hurt you. You really need to pay attention to that in the future."
Mei Fang smiled at Guo Yun who raised her head. "In short, the most important thing in life is to live happily. In my opinion, whether you want to lose weight or learn to paint, you must not wrong yourself and only care about accommodating other people's feelings. As long as you are truly willing and will not regret it, then everyone will understand whatever decision you make."
Mei Fang talked a lot of truths to Guo Yun, and his mouth was a little dry. He gulped down a mouthful of water, and when he saw that Guo Yun was silent, he suddenly felt a little panicked.
"Is it because the truth I just said was too exaggerated that it embarrassed you? If that's the case, just pretend you didn't hear what I said."
“Ahahahahahaha—”
Guo Yun was completely amused by Mei Fang's words and couldn't help but burst into laughter while wiping her tears.
"Huh... is what I said so funny?"
Guo Yun smiled and shook her head, then looked at Mei Fang with a smile, "I didn't expect that you, Mei Fang, would also worry about whether you said something inappropriate."
"So you see, there's actually no difference between us, right?"
"There are still some." Guo Yun said with a smile, "Look, you have two beautiful childhood sweethearts, and they both like you very much. You are just like the male protagonist from an anime."
"Ah... If I must say it - this is just friendship, friendship, junior high school students can't fall in love."
"I will have a serious talk with my mother about the art students." Guo Yun seemed to have made up her mind, "And I also want to know about your studio. You can let me paint anything. I want to follow you, just... to witness something together, if, if possible."
"Hahaha, of course! We welcome you very much."
"Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm neither a member of the Yuan Party nor a member of the Xi Party. I'm neutral!"
Guo Yun scratched her head. "So, you don't have to worry that I will suddenly do that like Yue Xinyi—"
"Hahahaha, you don't have to say anything, I understand, I understand!"
Mei Fang never thought that one day he would be able to chat so happily with Guo Yun, the fat girl in his previous life who always kept her head down and thought about her own things.
However, Mei Fang was not yet a second-dimensional person at that time, so it was normal that they had no intersection.
But, to be honest, fate is a wonderful thing...
Although the update is very late, it contains the content of two updates. When I think about it this way, my image as Cao Man has also become more glorious.
