I am a master of light novels in Japan

Suddenly, Shiina's white hand gently grabbed the clothes on Li Yan's chest, and she had to lean against him. Under the golden twilight, her tears lifted her head. It splashed out at that moment.

"Holmes... I can't understand... He obviously did what you said..."

"...I, well...learn to use the washing machine and stop getting yourself wet..."

"...Cleaning, also praised by Qikai..."

"...Buying things, I will remember to pay..."

"...The clothes and hair are all taken care of by myself..."

"...I have been working hard, I have been working hard...I learned a lot...but I lost..."

"Well, is it because I didn't work hard enough... But this way... I still can't understand..."

She had a pure and white face, her eyebrows were erected, her eyes staring at Li Yan unbelievably so far, a faint gray agitated in the blank color, she trembled slightly, and asked quietly, the only Holmes she believed in. Mr……

Chapter 157 Dream Chasers

——What color do you want to become?

This sentence was once inadvertently asked by his grandfather.

At that time, she was a child, and was gently holding hands by her grandfather, roaming in that majestic and beautiful manor outside London, England. Her grandfather, father and mother were all well-known painters in the industry, and such a family, She finally gave birth to a child who was born a painter.Born to be used for the eyes that can see the colors of the world more clearly.

This is the ability that all painters who pursue the art of oil painting dream of...

Undoubtedly, whether her family or outsiders, when her talent for painting was discovered, everyone believed that she was given the baptism of time. Sooner or later, this girl could reach the realm of a legendary figure like Leonardo or Van Gogh in the history of oil painting. Level, in the history of world art, add her name.

However, her grandfather asked that sentence inadvertently, which bothered her deeply.

So many beautiful colors, what kind of color is she in this world?

Some people say that she is white, just as her father gave her the Japanese name, so white...

She didn't feel that she was really just blank.She also knows happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, and can even see through things that others cannot. Because of this, she always feels that she is not really a blank sheet of paper.

Until that day, after hearing about Japanese manga for the first time at an exhibition, she was in an old bookstore that specializes in importing books from Japan and opened by a Japanese store manager in order to find information about Japanese manga. However, I found the light novel that seemed to be sealed in the center...

It is not a manga, but the cover has a beautifully drawn anime cover, and the name of the author of the book is printed with [Uesugi Yan].

By coincidence, with her father’s company, she took down this book at will, took it home, and after reading other comic books in the unmanned manor garden, she picked up this book to write. It was full of text and only a few pages of illustrations, but when I turned the page, everything changed.

Just like when Harry Potter received an invitation to enroll from a magic school in her own home, at that moment, she delayed the mission of the family, the expectations of the British nationals, and the great hopes of her grandfather made her go different from then on Road to growth.

"After reading...feel, I want to be red...like a flame."

This is the first time Shiina Mashiro has read the story written by Uesugiyan. After being shocked in his heart, he feels most deeply moved.

When she secretly made up her mind, she brought clothes and painting tools, as well as her best friend Rita's work resume. She will participate in well-known exhibitions in Britain, the United States, Italy, Spain, France and other countries. , Came to the author who wrote the work she loved so much. However, she was rejected. For the first time in her life, she was denied. For the first time, she was severely reprimanded by someone for the mistakes of life. Trying so hard to change myself...

That person, when going out, always walked in front of her, no matter any road, he was as steady as a rock, the whole body was so tall, she deeply believed in Uesugiyan who could integrate her feelings into the story, The elder who called herself Holmes told her that the way to improve herself was absolutely and absolutely correct.

I don't know how many times I messed up.

In the face of Qihai's complaints and prevention, she still firmly implemented the common-sense affairs that Li Yan hoped she could accomplish on her own, constantly failing, constantly trying, and gradually... Today she no longer makes Qihai worry about it.She has really grown, is growing at an astonishing speed, and is moving forward more firmly.

However, the method that has always been convinced, but ultimately ended in failure.

She couldn't doubt that this was a methodological error. For her, Holmes would never make a mistake. The only explanation is that she has not done enough.

However, she has tried her best. Even in the UK, she has never forced herself to be so reluctant. When she has a fever, she still has to go to paint...why, she still lost...

The final results were announced on the website. As a result, among more than 3,000 submissions, Hideri Kashiwagi's work was ranked seventh in the overall ranking, while Shiina Masashiro's work was ranked 15th, a difference of 178 votes. .

For the first time in her life, I tasted the taste of a fiasco...It was so inexplicable, it almost made her shake completely.

"..." She lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, as if she had no face to see Li Yan. After all that confession, she lowered her head for a long time, her beautiful face hidden by the golden bangs, she couldn't see it. Her lost eyes let tears run down her smooth cheeks.

"..."

Li Yan sadly, kept silent and looked at this young girl who was full of doubts and was caught off guard by failure. He wanted to reach out and appease this British girl who had traveled thousands of miles to pursue the comic dream, but, The hand stretched out in the air was slowly taken back under the difficult decision.

"I had expected this result a long time ago. Shiina, you are a genius. This is an indisputable fact. At just fifteen or six years old, there are paintings that have been collected by the British royal family. You can see that the British side regard you as a national treasure. …So, I have selfishness towards you, and I don’t hope that young national treasure painters like you will be taken astray by consumer culture like Japanese manga. Fortunately, you have always listened to me and did not give up the course of continuing to study oil painting. , It’s been really hard for you this period of time. You will lose the competition, which is normal. Comics and oil paintings have very different requirements and expressions. You participated in the competition as a complete rookie. With such results, It’s already amazing. It’s not the first, but it’s reasonable... This world doesn’t revolve around you, Shiina."

"...!"

Li Yan's words made Shiina Zhenbai's heart suddenly chill, and she felt even more sad.

However, those two pairs of rough and wide palms were lightly pressed on Shiina's true white shoulders. The strict young man looked at her with sad eyes and endless expectations, and said, "This world belongs to everyone. , So there is always a victory and defeat, and setbacks will be experienced sooner or later. Every one of us comes through this way. The key is, what kind of attitude you have to adopt next to it. Shiina, this time, I told you earlier How do you find a part of inspiration in your life...a little harder and a little more patience, you will become more reliable."

In the corridor at dusk, her golden bangs covered her tearful eyes, staring blankly at the young man standing in the warm wind, listening to his words.

"If you keep working hard like this, maybe in the future... no one will think that you are a kind of pet anymore. You will become the lion heart king in the painting world. So, be brave and continue to create with ease. For your first comic readers."

Li Yan looked at her with a smile and said encouragingly.

"...Okay." Shiina Shirai quietly looked at that smile, that tall and reliable figure, and finally, the tumbling heart gradually calmed down.

Again, in room 605, Li Yan quietly watched Shiina Masashi return to the desk messed up by her. After a little clumsily began to clean up, he continued to create his own comics, and he was slightly relaxed. He sighed and closed the door.

However, as soon as he turned around, there was an extra girl behind him unconsciously, which made him scared enough to look at the sudden appearance of Qingshan Qihai with his eyes wide open.

"...Classmate Qingshan, don't scare me, why are you behind me?" Li Yan asked Qingshan Qihai in astonishment.

"I've walked over long ago, but Senior Li, you have been paying attention to Zhen Bai, you have not noticed my side..." Qing Shan Qihai showed a smile and bowed politely.

"That's it... I'm sorry, I did not notice, did you just come back from work?"

Li Yan secretly felt that he had escaped from the crisis environment once besieged and blocked by enemies, and his vigilance was getting worse and worse. He didn't know if such a life was a kind of luck or a potential danger.Immediately, he asked Qingshan Qihai who was wearing a school uniform, and it was unclear whether she came back from the school's club activities or ended part-time work.

"No, I will go to work after I come back and change my clothes. This time it is a maid coffee shop and the salary is not bad. If I live here, the time and opportunities for part-time work will become more. I am a little too busy... Come back, Senior, you are really a strict teacher. Originally I thought you would give her some comfort, but it made her more difficult."

Aoyama Qihai explained with a smile at first, and now that he has lived in this apartment for more than a month, he has not only become acquainted with Xiaolin and other neighbors, but also gradually realized what kind of person Li Yan is.

She looked at the door of 605, and said with a bitter smile: "That guy, I didn't expect that one month really persisted. In the middle, I persuaded her to give up taking care of herself several times, but I didn't even expect her. Really succeeded gradually. Now even if I am not at home, she can keep the house clean. When I was in school, I didn’t know what she had been watching, and her emotions remained unstable. Only now I know. It turns out that she would be so depressed about failure, and she knew a little about her again.

"I feel I've always troubled you, sorry..." Li Yan asked with an apologetic look after hearing the experience in Qi Hai's words.

"Senior does not need to apologize. I should thank you. Zhenbai is already my friend. She has made such a change, probably because of seniors. I appreciate people who work hard. If you can, please continue to give guidance. Really white, if it's okay... if I don't understand anything, I will ask seniors."

Qingshan Qihai shook his head, showing a somewhat embarrassed smile, and said to Li Yan.

"Of course there is no problem. However, it is not because of me alone. The transformation of a person is not always so smooth. It is just that Shiina has always believed in me and is willing to make such changes. So, in the final analysis, she has chosen her own choice. You have to change, Qingshan-student, cheer for you. I look forward to the moment you become a well-known voice actor.

After Li Yan finished speaking, he immediately smiled and let the road to the door open. After a few more greetings, he walked to his apartment room.

Qingshan Qihai looked at the figure drifting away in a daze.
