Chapter 147 - Turn Off The High Beans (1/2)

Meng Fan was very satisfied with making 300,000 HXB in just three days. He couldn’t compare to the prodigies in the industry, but it was very good for a regular practitioner in the industry.

Of course, based on Meng Fan’s drawing skills, this 300,000 was not enough. In fact, the sheer quantity even made it a bit shameful.

But in any case, he was happy. As he dwelled in a state of bliss, his stomach began to rumble. He looked at the time; it was 6:00 pm. It was indeed time for dinner.

He called Da Qiang and the others, looking to treat him to a good meal, but he didn’t expect they were all out already. After asking, he realized today was a Friday, and all three of them had gone to hang out with their girlfriends.

This made him very envious!

Suddenly he remembered… He gave Wu Tong a call to ask if she had eaten. Her response was curt, “I have”.

Followed by, “But I can eat more.” She said as she smiled.

Ten minutes later, the two met outside the school gates and went to a restaurant inside a mall.

“Have you been busy lately?”

Wu Tong paused for a moment after eating. She watched Meng Fan scarf down his food and gulp at a bottle of fruit soda and asked,

“It’s been pretty busy lately. I received some commissions for hand-drawn posters, which I just finished before I called you.” Meng Fan subtly slowed down his eating speed. He had a peculiar look on his face. “I also made a lot of money.”

“Aren’t you serializing your manga right now? Why are you also doing poster commissions?”

Wu Tong had seen Meng Fan’s manga. Although she did not study manga, she knew the difficulties involved in creating one. Even if he was just adapting it, the process still required a long time. She also knew he had been serializing two series at once, both with frequent updates. She couldn’t help but be curious. “You’re serializing two manga series, and you’re still taking hand drawing commissions; how fast is your drawing speed?”

“It’s alright. I can finish both manga updates in three days. I gotta do something with the rest of my time off.” Meng Fan was being modest but not at the point of deception. It was too excessive to say he could finish four chapters in one day.

“You’re so busy; do you have enough time?”

“I’m just trying to be the best version of myself!”

“Should I be encouraging you at this time?”

“Hahaha, say anything you want!”

During their lighthearted conversation, the awkward atmosphere during his confession the other day was slowly fading away.

After eating, Meng Fan suggested seeing a movie, and Wu Tong didn’t hesitate before agreeing.

There was no point eating at the mall if they weren’t going to watch a movie. The food here was not as good as the waterfront restaurant near the school.

After the movie, the two left the shopping center but did not hail a cab. They walked back together, enjoying the night breeze.

In November, Hangzhou’s evenings were getting cooler. Meng Fan’s specially prepared jacket had come in handy. Even if his body fat percentage had decreased, his body had strengthened a lot, so he didn’t need a jacket.

Meng Fan’s jacket was quite big for Wu Tong, who was around 170 cm or so. It looked like a coat on her. It was slightly bloated, but to Meng Fan, it was almost too cute!

The two chatted. The wind carried away their voices but not the content… Either way, the atmosphere was good. As they got closer to the school, however, it was broken.

There was a car waiting at the roundabout. The car didn’t have its blinkers on, but it did blast its high beams.

Meng Fan saw two people appear from another direction. One of them approached the car. That person knocked on the window and asked the driver to turn off his high beams.

The window rolled down and a rather loud voice was heard. “That’s none of your business?”
