The young girl's name is Lu Yiyun, she is an out-and-out nerd girl, and she is a serious two-dimensional nerd. Once she enters the nerd, she will never regret it, the kind who makes people haggard because of Yixiao. After a few days in college, she voluntarily dropped out of school because of extreme discomfort, and has been living in a rented house since then.
One of Lu Yiyun's specialties is painting. She learned sketching and oil painting since she was a child, but when she grew up, she went astray because of her love for the second dimension, and embarked on a path of no return for comics and illustrations. I almost support myself, and also serialize some comics on Weibo, but the popularity is not high.
She knows the reason very well, her drawing skills are fine, what is lacking is the plot. It is acceptable to have a good plot but a bad drawing, such as "One Punch Man" and "Attack on Titan", but not the other way around. Having said that, the skill of fabricating plots cannot be improved casually, it can only be done slowly. She has been reading some popular ones recently, and wants to improve herself, but it may be because she reads too many comics, and she has a headache reading textual things now.
Lu Yiyun is also a frequent visitor to the live broadcast of [Eating, Drinking and Playing in Binhai], but she is not a fan because she has never tipped money and never posted barrage, so she dare not call herself a fan.
She watched Xiaoxue’s live broadcast not because Xiaoxue was cute—she had already despaired of the three-dimensional dimension, but because Xiaoxue would visit many places in Binhai City during the live broadcast, which was equivalent to being able to visit Binhai without leaving home, and Binhai The essence of the city lies, which is a very important life experience for Lu Yiyun who always stays at home.
She followed Xiaoxue's live broadcast to various shops with different characteristics. No matter the theme of the shop was food or board games, whether it was exquisite flowers or ancient books, she read them with great interest and recorded them every time—all of these could become Invaluable fodder for her future comics.
She imagined that she walked into the store with Xiaoxue, tasted the delicious food, listened to the live music, took a deep breath of the fragrance of flowers, sat on the old chair with paint and mottled due to the long history, and held a book of vertical typesetting. spent the whole afternoon in the warm sunshine... However, it was just a fantasy, she had no money, no time, and was even more afraid of going out.
Until last week, Xiaoxue actually chose a pet shop to do the live broadcast.
Lu Yiyun also raised a cat, which was left by the previous tenant when they moved out. She didn't know what breed it was, but it was probably Chuaner. If it was a rare purebred cat, they would definitely take it away. The back and back of the cat's head are yellow, the chest and belly and face are white, the limbs are also yellow and white, and the hair is quite long. The former tenant called it "Jasmine".
At that time, Lu Yiyun had just had a falling out with her family because of dropping out of university. Her parents threatened her to sever ties, and her living expenses were also cut off. After renting the house, there was almost no money left. She was worried that she would not be able to support herself, so how could she support her again? cat? So she asked the former tenant to take Jasmine away, but the former tenant refused, and just said lightly: "If you don't want to keep it, throw it away for me." After speaking, she left with her luggage on her back, with a very chic back .
If you don’t want it, just throw it away for me, if you don’t want it, then throw it away for me, why does it sound like old newspapers and old books? Can a life be thrown away
It may be because things hurt their kind. She always felt that her lonely self was very similar to this lonely cat. When she came back to her senses, she had already hugged it in her arms and started crying. Jasmine didn't resist her new owner, she nestled softly and warmly in her arms, maybe it had already accepted the fate of being abandoned.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yiyun wiped away her tears, even for it, she had to find a way to fill her stomach.
From then on, she worked hard to cheer up, sent her illustrations to different websites for submission, and squeezed into various Q groups to receive orders and advertise. As a newcomer, the number of illustration orders received is not large and unstable. The manuscript fee is very low, but the requirements are very high. I often get woken up by phone calls in the middle of the night and get up from the bed to change the drawing. If the other party is still not satisfied after changing it once, they have to change it a second time and a third time...
She also lost control once and lost her temper in an empty rental house, throwing everything she saw except the mobile phone computer graphics tablet used for survival. But even at this time, Jasmine didn't hide, and squatted beside her silently as if she had made a mistake, neither screaming nor moving. In the end, one person and one cat hugged their heads and cried, and continued to change the picture after crying enough, and changed it until dawn...
After going through the initial difficulties, because she did not disobey the client and was a good painter and delivered the manuscripts on time, the number of orders gradually increased, and the price of a single picture also increased a little. Life finally improved, and both she and the cat have lost weight. few.
When she saw the live broadcast of Xiaoxue's pet shop, the store manager introduced to the camera that the shop can provide cat bathing services. Then she remembered that since taking over Jasmine, she has never bathed Jasmine.
In the palm-sized place of the rental house, she and Jasmine were always sticking together. Jasmine's hair was long after experiencing the sweltering heat of summer, and it would be a lie to say that Jasmine didn't have any peculiar smell on her body.
She felt guilty and blamed herself, why didn't she think about whether Jasmine wanted to take a bath when she was taking a bath
During the live broadcast, she saw that Xiaoxue also bought a cat in the store. The price was staggeringly expensive, and Xiaoxue didn't even frown.
Out of trust in Xiaoxue's choice of shop, she decided to take the cat to Qiyuan Pet Shop for a bath. After checking the map on the Internet, she was surprised to find that the old-fashioned community she was in was actually very close to the Qiyuan Pet Store. The back door of the community was on the same street as the Qiyuan Pet Store, and it took only ten minutes to walk. Her fear of traveling far.
There is a small supermarket in the community. She can cook by herself, and other things can be solved by express delivery and e-commerce. She has not left the community for several months, and has been staying in the room and painting desperately.
Because she has lost a lot of weight, and she doesn’t go out often and doesn’t need to buy new clothes, she looks very fat in her previous clothes; the haircut is done by herself in the bathroom in front of the mirror, so the hairstyle is terrible; she has not seen the sun for a long time, and her cheeks appear Unhealthy paleness; working at the desk with endless articles, myopia has deepened; cosmetics only have the most basic moisturizing cream.
In the mirror, she even looked like she was scum. But it didn't matter, anyway, she didn't go out to seek encounters, her image didn't matter at all.
Along the way, she always felt that the pedestrians around her were looking at her, and the countless gazes intertwined into a net, entangled her tightly. She hugged Jasmine even tighter, restrained the urge to turn and run, and quickly walked towards the city with her head down. location on the electronic map.
