But Shi Xue has to accept the fact that she can take over the master she has been with for so long as soon as she arrives.

For Shixue, it must have been a very difficult experience, one that she had no choice but to adapt to.

"I'll go cheer you on once your project starts."

"My teacher's new publication is coming out in the next few days, and as her student, I may have to rush over to help her organize and color it."

That is, the work of a cartoonist's assistant.

"That lazy guy..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang muttered something to himself.

"It's not that I'm being lazy. Teacher Qianyu wants to accumulate my experience and knowledge. I understand that. Master should also show some respect to the teacher."

Shixue refuted her master's words and earnestly gave him some instructions.

Indeed, this is true; there are countless examples of famous cartoonists whose assistants are also cartoonists.

Moreover, it is often new comic artists who can gain a foothold in the industry by leveraging their teacher's reputation.

You can also learn a lot of valuable, untold experience from famous cartoonists, whether in drawing or in the industry, preparing you to be able to stand on your own one day.

Therefore, Luo Qianyu's willingness to let Shixue help her shows that she is truly nurturing her.

"..."

That being said, Jiang Tang still found it difficult to regard a certain legal loli who liked to expose herself as a mature and organized industry leader.

As for respect, if it were Ms. Kuroba, as her loyal reader, Jiang Tang would say that he would have absolute respect for her.

Suddenly, a slight tugging sensation came from his leg; it was Little Pudding tugging at Jiang Tang's trouser leg with its paws.

Even after eating their own cat food, kittens still crave human food.

Jiang Tang and Shi Xue only dared to feed it food that wasn't oily or salty, such as stewed pork ribs.

Otherwise, it's just some vegetables.

Logically speaking, cats shouldn't like to eat vegetables.

But Little Pudding was an exception; it ate almost everything and wanted to try everything.

And they've already taken over the yogurt lids for all the yogurts Shixue has eaten.

It completely deprives people of the simple pleasure of licking the yogurt lid.

However, it has also contributed itself to human enjoyment.

Petting a cat is a relaxing activity for both the person and the cat.

Jiang Tang hugged Xiaobuding into his arms, only to receive a lecture from Shixue.

"Master, it's time to eat! Don't touch the cat, what if cat hair floats up here? And Little Pudding is crawling all over the floor, there are always germs..."

It's true that I like cats, but there's no need to ignore the dust and bacteria they pick up every day as they jump around.

"Okay, okay, I'll put it down now," Jiang Tang replied helplessly.

"Go wash your hands."

"It can't be that bad..."

"As for it!"

Shi Xue's concern for Jiang Tang was subtly reflected in all aspects of their lives.

The so-called "white rice" refers to a woman who is ordinary but indispensable, someone one relies on.

306 Son-in-law

The subsequent sports meet was unremarkable, and Jiang Tang's life remained as peaceful as ever.

He was simply uneasy, always worried that this peaceful life would one day be disrupted.

Perhaps it's not so much worry as pessimism about the inevitable future.

"Take it one step at a time" sounds easy, but only those who experience it truly understand the agonizing feeling of walking on thin ice.

It's only a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, which is also the day An Qianxi will return and they will reunite.

But Jiang Tang's joy was gradually cooling down.

He began to worry about many things for no apparent reason.

However, the reunion between Ke He and An Qianxi is different.

At least An Hongdou is An Qianxi's older sister, as well as her senior and student council president. If she wants to find her, she can always find many opportunities.

Unfortunately, no matter who Jiang Peining went to, she had no way of knowing her whereabouts or contact information.

No one else would give it to him; only Jiang Peining had the right to contact him unilaterally.

But she insisted on watching him look like he was in a terrible predicament.

This is indeed the cat-and-mouse game she loves to play.

Perhaps it had been too long since he had spent time with her, which made Jiang Tang's temper impatient and his emotions easily affected.

He calmed down and recalled how he had acted in the past.

Just ignore her like that...?

Perhaps this is the best way to deal with it.

If you break through their defenses, you'll only become a laughingstock.

Jiang Tang didn't want to run into her again someday, only to be met with her haughty smile and the reply that she was nothing special.

But I always had ways to retaliate back then, perhaps because we were still living under the same roof and were very close.

Perhaps because we were all quite young at the time, our teasing was just playful banter.

But now, Jiang Peining is a woman who can suppress a large family and cause turmoil in the entire financial world at any time, while he himself is just an ordinary college student.

They are no longer comparable.

The overcast skies over the sports meet seemed to reflect Jiang Tang's less-than-bright mood.

He looked up at the sky, and the surrounding noise suddenly became very loud and crowded.

I'd rather it start drizzling right now.

Someone patted him on the shoulder, and Jiang Tang subconsciously snapped back to reality, hearing himself take a deep breath.

It was An Hongdou, but she didn't seem like her usual self.

This scene is quite surreal, reminding one of a time in senior year of high school when An Qianxi suddenly did the same thing, patting her own shoulder and asking if she would like to be her boyfriend.

They are sisters, so it's normal for them to look alike.

"What are you thinking about? The long-distance run is about to start, aren't you going to warm up?"

"...Long-distance running is just a warm-up for me."

Today is the last day of the sports meet, and the long-distance running events are also being held today.

As the president of the student council, it is only natural for An Hongdou to care about her members.

At least that's what An Hongdou thought.

"You're just talking big, but... good luck, it won't rain today, I checked the weather forecast."

"I'm not worried about that."

"Then what are you worried about? Is it related to your girlfriend?"

An Hongdou actually guessed correctly by sheer luck.

But can Jiang Peining be considered his girlfriend? That's another question.

Ultimately, the identity of a fiancée is quite strange. It doesn't even require dating to leap into a relationship that is more intimate than that of a girlfriend.

"That's it."

"That's quite rare. Aren't you always successful in love?"

"Maybe I just won't lose, but I also won't win."

Jiang Tang suddenly said something that was hard to understand.

However, after thinking about it for a while, An Hongdou felt that she understood a little bit of it.

"He won't lose" probably refers to situations where a girl is pursuing him.

As for not winning, that's the opposite: he goes after other girls.

Thinking of this, An Hongdou opened her eyes slightly, revealing a look of obvious surprise.

"...Who is this person that even you can't figure out?"

"Someone who is very far away from me."

"Once so close."

Jiang Tang thought about it and realized that it would be too easy to give himself away if he confided in others about this.

An Hongdou, by sheer chance, became the person most suitable to listen to his stories.

An Hongdou's gaze deepened.

She was surprisingly moved by this.

Perhaps it was because he was thinking about his relationship with his sister.

It seems so far away, yet it was once so close.

Although familial love and romantic love are not the same concept at all, they share similar forms of expression.

Thinking about this, An Hongdou felt that she might have some experience that she could use to comfort Jiang Tang.

Anyway, An Hongdou's public persona is that of an approachable student council president, so it's not surprising that she cares about Jiang Tang.

Yes, that's it, it's not for any other reason.

"Perhaps that distance is just what you perceive as far away."
