Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 698 She’s coming?
Since it concerns whether she can return home safely, it is understandable that Ma Youyou is nervous.

Malu saw this and went into the kitchen to ask Lao Wang to help make a dish of camel meat stewed with Gastrodia elata, which he served to Ma Youyou.

"Eat it. Your brain will calm down again after eating it."

"Well, thank you." Ma Youyou relaxed after finishing the bowl of camel meat stewed with Gastrodia elata and stopped biting her nails.

About 40 minutes later, a taxi stopped outside the Universe Infinity Canteen.

In order to express his welcome to the great cartoonist, Boss Ma went out to greet him personally. He opened the passenger door, but it was empty.

So Malu opened the back door again, and it was still empty.

For a moment, Malu thought that Qi Yu had noticed something and ran away halfway, but then the driver's door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a gray jacket, glasses and holding a thermos cup got out of the car.

Malu asked him, "Master, where are the passengers?"

The taxi driver was stunned when he heard this, "There are no passengers, just me."

"what?"

Boss Ma and the driver stared at each other. Half a minute later, Ma Lu asked tentatively, "Are you... Teacher Qi Yu?"

"Yes, I am Qi Yu." The taxi driver pushed his glasses and said.

"........."

"Your car is quite unique."

Malu tried to call Qi Yu, and the next moment a female voice sang from the taxi driver's phone.

I wish you peace, oh, I wish you peace~ Let that happiness surround you~
"Wait a moment, my wife is looking for me..."

"Oh, it was me. I just accidentally touched it."

Ma Lu paused and said, "Teacher Qi Yu, you are already married, so why don't you bring your wife with you?"

"No, I'm not married." Qi Yu changed the subject again, "I'm alone now. No, I've always been alone."

"Then you have been single for... quite a long time. You look to be in your forties." Malu stretched out his hand to shake hands with Qi Yu.

"I'm 83 years old."

"Teacher Qi Yu has truly devoted all his youth to comics." Malu said tentatively.

"Yeah, drawing comics is very hard, especially when the deadline is approaching, there are very fierce editors who keep pushing you." Qi Yu complained, "It's terrible, just like your wife checking up on you, one call after another, and they will even come to your door and knock in the middle of the night."

"Really? Cartoonists are also human beings. Don't they need to sleep? Let me tell you, I only worked the night shift in the first few years. Later, as I got older and my health deteriorated, I only worked during the day."

"Hey, Mr. Qi Yu, have you ever driven a taxi?"

"Ah." Qi Yu probably realized something and said hurriedly, "I, I'm collecting materials. I drive a taxi for collecting materials. I don't drive it on weekdays. I usually drive a Maserati or a Mercedes when I go out."

"Oh, anyway, thank you Mr. Qi Yu for your kindness today," Ma Lu said, "Come in, please."

Qi Yu was about to leave when he thought of something and asked, "Will we get a ticket if we stop here?"

“No, I don’t usually post it.”

"That's good." Qi Yu felt relieved, then followed Malu into the restaurant. He looked around curiously.

"I've seen a lot of short videos of your restaurant online, and I've passed by the door several times before, but unfortunately I've never been in. I heard that your dishes are very expensive." "It's okay, we are the cheapest among restaurants of the same quality."

"Is six or seven hundred for a dish considered cheap?" Qi Yu was shocked when he saw the dishes and prices on the blackboard. "There are so many rich people."

Malu and Ma Youyou looked at each other. They both found that there was something strange about this teacher Qi Yu. As a great cartoonist who drew famous works such as "One Piece", "Chainsaw Man" and "Under One Person", he should not be short of money.

But Qi Yu does look more simple than I imagined.

Of course, it may also be because he is a homebody, always busy creating comics, and has little contact with the outside world, which makes him a simple person.

Malu decided to wait and see for now. "I've already told the kitchen staff to prepare your favorite Mexican food today. I hope you enjoy this meal."

"I should enjoy myself," Qi Yu murmured, "after all, I work so hard drawing comics."

"Speaking of comics, I remember that Under One Person seems to be updated every Friday. Today is Wednesday, which means it will be updated again in two days. I am really looking forward to the next plot."

While the food was being served, Malu and Qi Yu continued chatting.

As a result, when Qi Yu heard the word "update", his expression changed. He looked around and whispered, "We are out for dinner today to relax. Can you please not mention work?"

"Okay," Malu nodded, "I just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of yours."

"Yeah, that's normal. My works are very popular all over the world."

"Yes, I hope that Mr. Qi Yu can resume updating One Piece soon."

"I think you want to tire me to death."

“No, no,” If Ma Lu was a little skeptical at first when Ma Youyou said that Qi Yu plagiarized other authors’ comics, now he is basically certain.

After that, he suddenly remembered something and slammed the table.

Qi Yu was frightened, "She's here?"

"Who do you mean?"

Qi Yu looked around and didn't see the figure that frightened him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, it's nothing, why did you react so strongly just now."

"I just thought of something very important."

"whats the matter."

Before Malu could answer, another taxi stopped outside the store. Qi Yu's face changed drastically when he saw the female passenger in black stockings and OL clothes getting off the taxi.

Seeing the woman walking towards the restaurant, Ma Youyou took the initiative to greet her, "Sorry, miss, we are closed today."

"I know, I'm here to look for someone." The woman had sharp eyes and she spotted Qi Yu trying to crawl under the table at a glance.

"Okay, I didn't find you when I went to your house, and you are here!" After saying that, the woman bent down, crawled under Ma Youyou's arm, and then pounced on Qi Yu under the table.

"Didn't you promise me that you would turn down all social engagements and stay at home to paint these two days? Why are you here again? Do you know that the assistants in the studio are waiting for your draft?

"There are only two days left until Friday. You must give me the manuscript today no matter what. Otherwise, how are we going to outline and color it?"

"Kill me now," Qi Yu said angrily, "I can't draw."

"Why would I kill you? I want your draft."
