The chat group owner is really busy.

"You bastard, do you think I won't recognize you if you put on your glasses?"

Ying Lili walked over angrily.

"Tsk!"

Jiang Nan tilted his head with a look of disgust in his eyes.

What a bad start!

Kato Megumi looked at Eriri who was walking over.

"Hello there!"

Eriri: It was only at this time that I suddenly noticed Kato Megumi.

"Hey, hello...hello."

Being suddenly interrupted, Ying Lili's anger was suppressed a lot.

"Well, it's okay. I'll just slip away first."

Jiang Nan pulled Kato Hui and prepared to run away.

"Stop right there! Why did you do that? Give me a reason why you abandoned me?"

The girl asked angrily, as if she had found a scumbag after being abandoned by him.

The passers-by around stopped and looked over here.

"I'd be embarrassed if you said that, and your words could easily cause misunderstandings."

Jiang Nan froze in place and could only turn around to explain.

Kato Megumi's eyes were full of confusion.

"Did anything happen between you?"

"The relationship between us is very pure, it's just a simple financial relationship."

Jiang Nan spoke up, but why did it feel like the more he explained, the worse it got?

Kato Megumi tilted her head with a look of confusion in her eyes.

Ying Lili walked over angrily and grabbed Jiang Nan's other hand.

"I will never let you escape this time."

Jiang Nan just felt a headache. He decided to turn on his mental radar next time!

In the coffee shop on the corner.

The three of them sat by the window and the atmosphere was a little tense.

There are not many people in the coffee shop, and many couples are sitting here chatting.

Ying Lili looked at Jiang Nan opposite her with eyes filled with anger.

"Why, why did you abandon me in the first place?"

"Calm down, you're making me sound like a scumbag. Our relationship is just a simple partnership, but it didn't last long."

Jiang Nan raised his hands in front of his chest and signaled Ying Lili to calm down.

Kato Megumi sat next to them and minimized her presence.

Gossip is a human nature.

Eriri took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"Sorry, I was just excited. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time, Teacher Jiangnan!"

The smile on Jiang Nan's face was a little stiff, like a mask.

Well, the identity that has been hidden for so long is finally exposed.

Jiang Nan: “Ah…”

At this time, Kato Megumi turned her head and looked at Jiang Nan, with wisdom in her black eyes.

If you want to continue hiding it in this situation, you can only cheat.

Use the power of the mind to modify this memory.

But in this everyday world, Jiang Nan prefers to experience it personally and integrate into this world.

"Teacher Jiangnan?"

Kato Megumi asked a soul-searching question.

"Okay, okay, I was originally planning to get along with you as an ordinary person, but now that I've been exposed, I won't pretend anymore. I'm Jiangnan, the leader of the light novel industry. People in the world call me Jiangnan the Old Thief. I like to add water, drag the roots, stop updating, and have a bad ending..."

Jiang Nan had no choice but to admit his identity.

Kato Megumi seemed to be prepared and was not too surprised.

"So Jiang Nan, you are Teacher Jiang Nan?"

"Don't you know the true identity of this bastard? Damn it, you even hid it from your girlfriend."

Perhaps because Jiang Nan and Kato Megumi's actions were too intimate, Ying Lili obviously misunderstood.

"Although I'm happy if you say that, there's still a little distance between us and what you're talking about."

The smile on Jiang Nan's face became very bright.

Apparently, what Eriri said made him very happy.

Kato Megumi thought for a moment and spoke calmly.

"Is this a confession?"

Ying Lili suddenly felt that her mouth was so mean.

"You damned bastard, you don't treat me as your special playmate, do you?"

"Okay, don't get excited. Besides, why don't you introduce yourself? Teacher Kashiwagi Eri!"

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

When Eriri heard the words "Kashiwagi Eri", she immediately looked around nervously.

Afraid that someone around might hear it.

Although Eriri is an otaku, she appears to be a young lady of mixed blood.

If people knew that the arrogant young lady in school was actually an erotic artist for 18+ books.

That's the end of it. It can be said that we are socially dead and we have to move to another galaxy.

"Okay, let me formally introduce myself. I'm Sawamura Spencer Eriri. You can also call me Sawamura Eriri. I'm an illustrator by profession... Kashiwagi Eri."

"Well, I know you. You seem to be a very famous illustrator. Jiang Nan just bought a comic book you drew, and he seemed very conflicted..."

Kato Megumi calmly recounted the process of Jiang Nan buying a book.

Ying Lili naturally knew what the comic she drew was about, so she could only stare at Jiang Nan.

"You know what this means, appreciation? Besides, I taught you your illustration skills, so what's wrong with me appreciating you?"

"Damn it, you still have the nerve to say that. You just treated me like a laborer in the beginning."

Eriri gritted her teeth when she thought about what happened in the past.

"Tsk, I've been discovered."

Jiang Nan turned his head away and didn't look at Ying Lili.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

In Neon, popular light novels come with illustrations.

The illustrations will depict the male and female protagonists and other characters in the light novel very beautifully.

A light novel with good sales must have an excellent illustrator.

At the beginning, Jiang Nan worked as an illustrator and wrote novels at the same time, but later he felt it was too troublesome and wanted to find an illustrator.

However, he was not satisfied with the illustrations drawn by illustrators on the Internet, so after thinking for a second, Jiang Nan decided to train one himself.

And it is cultivating a free labor force, which is like some companies that do not pay wages. The excuse is naturally to cultivate your abilities.

At that time, Eriri was not yet an outstanding illustrator and had no fame.

So Jiang Nan set his eyes on her. After all, he had watched the anime series "The Girlfriend Who Gets to Hit the Road" and knew that Eriri had a great talent for painting.

Then, under Jiang Nan's various deceptions, Ying Lili became his free illustrator. However, after drawing for free for a while, Ying Lili finally realized what was going on.

"Forget it, those things are in the past. Although you often make mistakes when writing your works, your excellence is unquestionable. Why? Why did you quit? Obviously, with your talent, no one can compete with you."

Eriri asked the question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time.

She didn't understand why a guy with such a bright future would suddenly quit?

Even if he doesn't release any new works, he can still gain great popularity by just filling in some gaps in his past works.

Please give me some monthly tickets, brothers.

Friends who have extra monthly tickets please vote for me. The ranking has fallen to the ground.

Chapter 408: Mahjong

Jiang Nan obviously didn't want to answer this question, so he looked at Kato Megumi next to him.

"By the way, Huihui, you haven't introduced yourself yet!"

It's hard to refuse questions you don't want to answer.

The best way is to change the subject directly.

Kato Megumi had been listening to the gossip nearby, but she didn't expect to hear this about herself, so she introduced herself naturally.

"Hello, Sawamura-san, I'm Kato Megumi, a sophomore at Toyonosaki High School. It's an honor to meet you here."

"Hello."

Eriri found that the girl in front of her had a special feeling. How to put it? Too ordinary.

As an otaku, Eriri knows a lot of interesting 2D labels.

Tsundere, black-bellied, gentle, cold, three-nothing...

But these labels are almost difficult to put on Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi is like an unnecessary passerby in many TV dramas.

A female supporting character who can't even be female No. 5 in the anime.

Even a supporting role without a single line of dialogue.

Eriri's mind was filled with such thoughts.

"Eri, you look a little weird today, are you trying to find out if your new work is popular?"

Ying Lili snorted lightly. Even though her purpose was revealed, she still refused to accept it.

"No!"

Kato Megumi said softly as she looked at Eriri's denial.

"Proud?"

Eriri: "I'm not a tsundere!"

Jiang Nan said jokingly.

"I remember there was a saying! A tsundere ruins a life? Because of being so arrogant, the person you love is gone. Tsk tsk, another loser with the attributes full."

"You guys are always like this."

Ying Lili sat in her seat with her arms folded across her chest, looking angrily. It was obvious that she had forgotten her purpose at this moment.

"I'm still as easily fooled as before, hehe."

Jiang Nan chuckled twice in his heart.
