Chapter 207: Missing Him

Wang Wenhong submitted the original manuscript of the first chapter of "Soul of Chess" to the editorial department, which means that the countdown of "Soul of Chess" has entered.

The 18th issue of "ic future" published the advertisement of "Soul of Chess" for the first time, and the reader's reaction was not as strong as expected.

After the 19th issue of color advertisements, readers realized that last year's "Rookie King" was about to release a new comic.

"Ms. Shen really went to "ic future". I don't know if Mr. Yan Fei has gone or not?"

"No. Aren't you going to check the official website? There is no name of Yan Fei on it."

"Yan Fei is in "manga fly", don't guess."

"At the beginning, Yan Fei said that she rejected the invitation of "ic future", it seems to be true."

"Mr. Shen will be serializing soon... There are still two weeks left, I am really looking forward to it."

"Ms. Shen's cartoon is Go. To be honest, I don't like it very much."

"That's right, I don't understand Go at all, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen's new comic is serialized on "ic future". Even if it's for "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss", you still have to buy this magazine. When the time comes, take a look at it, don't comment, just wait and see for now .”

"That's true."

Readers expressed concerns about "Soul of Chess" after seeing the advertisement printed in the magazine, but this worry quickly disappeared, replaced by full expectations—the 20th issue of "ic future", presented Solo's single poster.

"so hot--"

"It's not handsome, it's beautiful, do you understand?"

"I didn't expect Teacher Shen to have such a skill, and his painting skills have not decreased at all."

"Nonsense, if the level has dropped, how is it possible to publish comics on "ic future?"

"I'm going to put this poster on my bed, so that I can see Zuo Wei when I open my eyes every morning."

"Corrupt or not, you!"

"I want you to take care of it! Anyway, the next survey, "Soul of Chess" has already been booked."

"Me too!"

The online discussion was in full swing, Jiman Bookstore took advantage of this momentum, and placed an advertisement for "Soul of Chess" on the "ic future" booth.

Many girls are interested in Zuo Wei, but after asking about the Go manga, they look a little regretful—it would be great if it was a BL manga.

The first time Xi Muhan saw Zuo Wei's poster was in class.

As soon as she came to school, she saw Xiao Xia waving at her repeatedly.

"What's wrong?"

"Go to the bookstore after school at noon?"

"What are you going to the bookstore for? You want to buy reference books?" Xi Muhan asked puzzled.

"I bought "IC Future." Xiao Xia took out the 20th issue of "IC Future" from the drawer, "I borrowed this from Liu Hao—do you still remember Teacher Shen Zheng?"

"Ah? Remember..." Xi Muhan was slightly taken aback.

Recently, she has been working hard for the serialization of the novel.

I originally thought that writing a novel would be very easy, and the first few issues of serialization really felt like this, but as time went by,

Especially after entering March, she felt more and more strenuous.

At present, the novel is about to end with two chapters, but she feels that the direction of the novel is getting out of control. The characters in the pen seem to have consciousness, and they gradually lose control.

For several days in a row, she was a little dazed, forgot to contact Shen Xin, and even forgot that "Soul of Chess" would be released soon.

"At first, I hated him to death. "ys" is so beautiful, why did it stop? Can't Yizhi and Yigui have a happy ending? But after seeing this poster, I chose to forgive him, just I hope that "Soul of Chess" will not be like "ys", otherwise, I will really stop reading his comics."

Xiaoxia took out the poster that was in the magazine, and Xi Muhan's eyes also attracted her.

Seeing the deeds on the poster, Xi Muhan's expression was pleasantly surprised at first, and then lost. What Xiao Xia said, she didn't have the heart to listen anymore.

The gap between her and Shen Xin... is getting bigger and bigger.

When Xi Muhan returned home, Lu Ning had already prepared a table of meals.

"Welcome back." They took off their aprons one after another, and wiped off their sweat with a wet towel. "The illustrations for the next issue have been drawn."

"Well, thank you, sister Lu." Xi Muhan replied absent-mindedly.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Lu Ning noticed that Xi Muhan's face was a little strange.

"No...I...Sister Lu, "The Soul of Chess" will be released next week." Xi Muhan said.

"You said this, I know... I read the poster. Although Go is a niche subject, I believe Teacher Shen must be prepared."

"What do you say on the Internet?" Xi Muhan asked.

"It turns out that you are worried about this... Some readers on the Internet look forward to it, and some readers don't like it. However, I have confidence in this comic." Lu Ning said seriously, "Don't worry, Teacher Shen won't read these comments. "

Xi Muhan shook his head.

"I also have confidence in Brother Xin, but... But, if this comic really becomes popular, the gap between me and him will become wider and wider."

"What does that matter? Just get older, you brothers and sisters, who is with whom?"

"He and I are not siblings, we have nothing to do with each other at all, but... Sister Lu..." Xi Muhan's voice was a little choked up, "I miss him...but he ran too fast, and I couldn't catch up."

Looking at the tearful girl, Lu Ning vaguely had an idea in her mind.

"Then why don't you go to Hongchuan?"

"I don't want to be a burden..."

"You...you think too much." Lu Ning sighed, looking at Xi Muhan who was choked up, "Besides, you have done a good job now, at least you are well-known among the readers of "The Lightest Language". Besides, , who said you can't catch up with him? Are you two or three years younger than him?"

"Ah?" Xi Muhan was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hands with burning face, "Sister Lu, I didn't mean the 'chasing'."

"Is there any other word for 'chasing'?" Lu Ning couldn't help joking when she saw Xi Muhan showing shame.

In the end, Xi Muhan sat at the dining table and simply ignored Lu Ning.

"Okay, I was wrong, don't be angry. In fact, doing anything will not be easy. I believe Teacher Shen will also worry about the plot of the comics. The reader atmosphere of "Go" may be more severe than that of "ys". Because the readers of "Soul of Chess" include not only ordinary comic fans, but also some people who know Go, and maybe professional chess players will also read this comic. Comic lovers read the plot of the comic, while professional chess players Hands see the details.

"This comic is not easy to draw, but Teacher Shen still hasn't escaped, and you and I have no reason to say that we can't catch up with Teacher Shen. I don't know how to write novels, but if you really feel powerless, then explain the situation to the editor in charge , she will definitely help. But as a reader who can see the manuscript of the novel first-hand, I dare say that the quality of this novel is absolutely fine. So, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Lu Ning persuaded.

Xi Muhan took a deep breath, "I know...but sister Lu, do you think I can catch up to him?"

"I just know that if we don't do anything, the gap will definitely get bigger and bigger." Lu Ning touched Xi Muhan's forehead lightly, "We're cheering him on and doing our job well, we must not be underestimated by him. gone."

"En." Xi Muhan nodded deeply, and his anxious heart calmed down a lot.
