Kitchen.
After helping wash the dishes, Xu Qiji had nothing to do.
He was lying in front of the dining table, his body as limp as noodles, looking at the delicious Ms. Mei who was busy in the kitchen.
Ms. Hua Mei poked fun at Xu Qiji’s personal aesthetics, but at this time, what attracted Xu Qiji’s attention more than her appearance was her cooking process... very handsome!
When she was chopping vegetables, she had the impression of a chef performing knife skills on TV. The light and shadow of the sword seemed to be showing off his knife skills.
Xu Qiji can guarantee that if this sword technique is used on him, he will be lying flat and fucked in less than three seconds.
Even these 'three seconds' are Xu Qiji's internal bragging to add points to himself!
Also when killing live fish, Xu Qiji always slaps the fish with the blade of his knife to stun the fish... But Shen Huamei randomly points at the fish without knowing where it is. With one poke, the fish fainted and was left to be slaughtered by her.
Xu Qiji didn’t dare to blink the whole time: (⊙o⊙)
Afraid!
What is this method?
He was a little concerned - was Thrush's technique only for fish, or for all animals? To be precise, does the needle target human males?
It was obviously a pleasant cooking process, but Xu Qiji felt a little flustered after watching it.
Why do you work so hard to keep fit three years after the break?
Maybe... this is a man with a strong desire to survive?
"It seems that I can't be lazy. I have to take time to exercise every day." Xu Qiji made up his mind.
No matter how hard and tiring it is, fitness must never be left behind.
Only strong big muscles can bring him a little warmth at critical moments.
In addition, this also strengthened his determination to confess to Shen Huamei that he had been "broken for three years" - without three years of memory, if he remained secretive, it would be easy for him to forget some details of his life in the future. Go up and accidentally annoy your wife.
He doesn’t want to be Xu Qiyu.
It is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun, why not confess your fragmentation now?
How about choosing a topic to warm up the scene?
......
Shen Huamei cooks many types of dishes, but the portions of each dish are not large.
After dinner.
Xu Qiji took the initiative to stir up the topic: "Actually, Huamei, if it's just the two of us eating, we don't have to cook so many dishes at one time, right?"
——Dinners are for talking about things. It’s a good time and many things can be solved during a meal.
"It's okay, I like cooking." Shen Huamei replied.
Cooking is her hobby, so she enjoys cooking nearly ten dishes at a time. Moreover, she cooks very quickly and doesn't waste too much time.
"Besides, we will not always be two people, and there will always be new people in the family. Aji, do you prefer a daughter or a son? Mom, she was making an international long-distance inquiry yesterday.Ask about this matter. "Shen Huamei held her chin with one hand and looked at Xu Qiji provocatively with her dark eyes.
International long distance? Are your parents traveling abroad? Let your young son consider giving birth to the next generation so early. These two guys Are you serious?
“The child’s matter is not urgent, we need to be well prepared... Before that, why don’t we give it a try with a pet? "Xu Qiji is very worried about whether he can play the role of 'father' well at present.
He spent a morning forcing himself to accept the reality three years later. But in fact, his His mentality is still that of a college student.
If he is asked to evolve his mentality again and transform into an 'old father' mentality, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it and his mentality will explode.
< p>This is not a burden that his mental age should bear. At least give him a little more time to buffer...for example, give him two more days to think about it?"Okay, then we need to take care of him. Cat? I've wanted to try raising one a long time ago. Dogs are fine too, but raising a dog may take more effort than a cat. Shen Huamei was very interested in raising small pets and said, "If you think it's too difficult, Ah Ji, you can also raise potted plants to practice your skills." ”
Xu Qiji nodded repeatedly.
If you can’t even feed a potted plant, then there is no need to consider raising a child.
In case the child is killed by yourself What to do if you raise her to death?
“Looking at your confidence, Aji, I feel like we will be able to raise our own little cutie in a short time. Shen Huamei stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of green pepper meat and put it into Xu Qiji's mouth: "How about we preview the lesson later?" ”
The pieces of meat in Xu Qiji’s mouth almost spurted out of his nose.
How do you see that I am ‘confident’? I am clearly the opposite of confident, self-defeating.
Well, the point is at night...
A normal night after marriage?
"Gu~" Xu Qi swallowed the meat in his mouth. Ji took a deep breath - the warm-up was almost over. If the topic continued, Shen Huamei would lead him astray.
So, it was now.
He put down his chopsticks and looked away. Shen Huamei.
Shen Huamei from the opposite side also looked at him, their eyes met, and Huamei asked: "What's wrong? "
"Thrush, I have something very important to tell you. "Xu Qiji prepared his lines in his mind and said seriously: "You have to be mentally prepared and don't be surprised for a while. ”
“Hey, I thought it would take some time for you, Aji, to tell me this important matter. I didn’t expect you to tell me now.” "Shen Huamei also put down her chopsticks and said with a smile.
Her reaction was really beyond Xu Qiji's expectation.
——Huamei knows about my 'three-year hiatus'?" Xu Qiji felt confused.
Which detail did I accidentally reveal?
"But now is not the time to talk about important things. You told me to prepare myself...…So, just tonight! Tonight we can whisper in each other's ears and you tell me important things. Shen Huamei's voice was soft: "Tonight, I will cooperate with you~"
Xu Qiji nodded blankly.
Tonight?
Well, it’s better to talk about such intimate topics at night than at dinner.
……
……
Before night falls, Xu Qiji and Shen Huamei still have some things to do.
The sketches that were completed all night long still need to be drawn, drawn, and colored to evolve into the final draft. < /p>
Shen Huamei brought her computer to the study, took out her assistant device from the study locker, and asked aloud: "How many paintings did you draw yesterday? ”
“I took a look and the draft has been completed. "Xu Qiji opened his computer and replied.
"Then pass them all to me and I will help with it. "Shen Huamei gave a reliable reply - as reliable as the 'assistant' in Xu Qiji's fantasy.
As long as some things are thought of beautifully, the ending will be really beautiful!
< p> Then at least this issue's 'artwork' does not need pigeons, and can be handed over to 'Wheat Sui' - Xu Qiji's guilt decreased slightly, and he passed all the 'artwork' sketches to Shen Huamei ."This comic series is almost over. "Shen Huamei picked up her small cuffs, put on her glasses, and entered assistant working mode.
[Is it almost finished?] Xu Qiji hasn't finished reading all the comics in the morning.
However, Since Shen Huamei said so... it should be almost over.
For him, this is a good thing!
"Ah Ji, the finale needs to be drawn well, don't let it go. This work leaves me with regrets... By the way, have you thought about the plot of the finale? "Shen Huamei's right hand was waving with the same efficiency as before when he was cooking.
The work efficiency is amazing.
Like a ruthless painting machine.
p>
"Not yet..." Xu Qiji said
——From Shen Huamei's tone, does he need to make up for the finale of this 'comic'?
But he hasn't finished the comic yet.
And if Huamei already knew about his "three-year hiatus", why did he let him make up the finale?
< p>Unless...the "important thing" Shen Huamei said before was not the "three years of separation" he wanted to talk about?It was just a misunderstanding between the two parties
"Then For the next issue, do you need to take a break to come up with the final plot? "Shen Huamei asked again.
"Suspend the publication? "Xu Qiji's diffuse thoughts were brought back.
This is a good idea.
After this issue is submitted, he will have an excuse for the next issue. Or even the next issue. , he can use this excuse to deal with Maisui again.
After all, the finale is coming, in order to prepare for the finale., it’s not too much to take two journals off, right?
"Did I find an excuse for you to delay the manuscript?" Shen Huamei raised her eyebrows and asked: "After finishing the work, are there any new works you want to draw? What subject matter have you been interested in recently? Are you interested in his works?"
Xu Qiji: "As for the subjects that interest me...superpowers, aliens coming, and blood-related subjects are the ones I prefer to read."
“But there are too many of these themes recently.” Shen Huamei replied while painting.
In the past year, major comic platforms have launched competitions such as ‘Theme Drawing Competition’.
The themes collected are all such passionate dramas, disasters, supernatural and other themes, with a high degree of overlap.
With the promotion of major platforms, works on these themes are now emerging in endlessly.
"All major platforms are promoting works of these themes? Are they so popular?" Xu Qiji was a little curious about this matter.
Well, this is a good thing for him...it means that he has many works to choose from before he gets tired of looking at them.
......
The time spent with Shen Huamei passed quickly.
Afternoon drawing.
Enjoy dinner.
Walk hand in hand.
Work out together.
Go back and color the last few unfinished pages of the drawing.
When the manuscript was finally completed, it was already 23:54 in the middle of the night.
Next, it's the promised night...
Xu Qiji carefully saved the finished manuscript: "It's so late, let's rest."
"Yeah ." Opposite me, Shen Huamei yawned, took off her glasses, and rubbed her eyes - she would only be so busy when she was helping Xu Qiji to finish the manuscript. On weekdays, her routine is as standard as a textbook.
……
It is quiet at night.
By the time Xu Qiji and Shen Huamei finished washing, the time had passed 12 o'clock.
Saturday, May 24, 2025, 00:08 am.
On the big bed, Xu Qiji was already ready.
The time to confess has come!
"Thrush~" He said in a serious tone: "Do you feel that I am a little different today than in the past? In fact, when I woke up this morning, I found that my state was a little strange. In three years, I lost three..."
"Report!" Suddenly, Huamei, who was sleeping with Xu Qijing, seemed to have received some signal, and sat up suddenly and responded with a sweet voice.
Xu Qiji: "???"
