All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

If she continues to work at the maid cafe, she can indeed earn a considerable salary from this job.

But because of this, he lost the opportunity to pursue his dreams by drawing comics and selling doujinshi.

Jiang Tang could tell that his maid was clearly reacting to the owners of the ci poem titles that Han Ying mentioned, or rather, her former colleagues; perhaps it was out of nostalgia.

Therefore, he gently and briefly let go, saying.

"Shixue, you should go with the shop manager to see your old friends. I'll keep an eye on the stalls here."

"Master... thank you, Master!"

Shi Xue couldn't help but blurt it out, but given that she was wearing a maid outfit at the moment, the people around her didn't react much. They thought Shi Xue was just playing her part, unaware that she was actually a real maid.

Jiang Tang looked at Shi Xue with doting eyes as she followed Han Ying, the store manager, away from the doujinshi exhibition area.

With the departure of the two maids, the doujinshi exhibition area lost much of its charm.

Jiang Tang was alone guarding his stall, which was filled with Shi Xue's hard work, including her first comic book drawn by hand.

The title is "Snow Falls on His Shoulders".

It's incredibly beautiful, and it reminds me of a certain dialogue.

—I wish I could turn into snow, so I could fall on your shoulder.

—What if the gentleman was holding an umbrella?

—Then it will fall on the gentleman's red umbrella, quietly carrying the moonlight all the way.

—If only you would brush away the snow…

—Then let him brush it away; it is enough if it stays on his palm for a moment.

Jiang Tang likes the name Shixue very much.

He picked up Shixue's work again and quietly flipped through it, his eyes filled with a deep, affectionate smile.

"May I try reading this book?"

A crisp, youthful voice suddenly appeared, or perhaps Jiang Tang was too engrossed in his book.

This is his old habit; he reads very carefully and absorbs information much faster than the average person.

"Of course, but please stop reading at the end of the prologue." Jiang Tang said, raising his jade-like face, his pupils, like natural gemstones, reflecting the girl's image.

The girl was petite and slender, wearing a light brown loose sweatshirt with bear ears on the hood. Because she wore the hood, the bear ears stood up, making her look very cute. Underneath her light bangs was a fair forehead and a delicate nose.

Here we have to criticize the way she wears her mask; she completely exposes her nose. While it may be more comfortable to breathe that way, it essentially provides no protection.

However, perhaps she didn't intend to rely on the mask for protection, but rather wanted to cover her face.

Hearing Jiang Tang's instructions, the girl nodded vigorously.

"understand!"

As if she were someone very familiar with the industry, she understood that comic artists would thoughtfully use the first part of the content as a free preview, which was why she asked this question. Jiang Tang responded in accordance with Shi Xue's instructions.

But it was only when Jiang Tang lowered his head to continue reading silently that things started to happen.

The girl, who had covered her eyes and face with a comic book, blushed and secretly looked at Jiang Tang.

Those delicate eyebrows and eyes, that sharp temperament, that jade-like skin and that perfect bone structure and flesh... Ahhh, he's practically my dream lover, the male protagonist from a manga!

Although I was originally attracted by the title of the comic book, "Snow Falls on His Shoulder".

But when she saw what the stall owner looked like, although her interest in comics was still there, it had completely given way to Jiang Tang's attraction to her entire body, mind, and even soul.

Although he was wearing a mask, and might just be a so-called "masked handsome guy," he was still shamelessly and unaware of the fact that he was exuding a fatal attraction to young girls.

Jiang Tang: ? How am I shameless...?

Luo Qianyu is certain.

Ever since I met Jiang Tang.

From then on, all the male protagonists in her comics had faces!

It's not that her male protagonists in her past comics didn't have faces or anything... it's just that virtual can't compare to reality.

Jiang Tang, on the other hand, is so beautiful that it feels almost unreal.

064 I'm here to protect you

It took Luo Qianyu a long time to calm down her heart, which had been fluttering because of Jiang Tang's good looks.

He then turned his attention back to the comic book in front of him.

The comic's artist is highly skilled, seemingly having received classical art training. In many places, the artwork is even overly beautiful and excessively intricate.

This is the fundamental reason why Ye Shixue's paintings, which she worked day and night, were only finally completed in the early hours of the day before the comic convention.

She takes her work so seriously and is so responsible for it!

Luo Qianyu instinctively felt that the author of the comic could not be the stunningly handsome young man selling goods at the stall in front of her.

Because she glimpsed the heart of a girl who also beats for love in the comic.

But it was very likely drawn for the boy in front of him.

Luo Qianyu's keen intuition, honed over many years in the industry, made her realize this as well.

Although it was difficult for Luo Qianyu to concentrate on reading in front of Jiang Tang, she still skimmed through the prologue of the girl's first work and couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

This comic book undoubtedly deserves the money in her pocket.

So she held the comic book and looked at Jiang Tang again, her face flushed, and spoke.

"Excuse me, how much does this comic book cost? I'd like to buy one."

Jiang Tang's eyes suddenly lit up. He hadn't expected that he would attract a stranger to buy his comics so early in the morning.

Ye Shixue had never promoted her comics before.

Of course, a clumsy fool like her, who only knows how to bury herself in hard work, wouldn't think of these things.

Therefore, her works are purely left to the market to choose from, and the market will give them a score.

From the current perspective, selling one copy so early is already a pretty good result.

"We price it at twenty yuan a book."

Twenty yuan?

"Is it... a bit expensive?" Jiang Tang was unsure about the girl's tone.

But in reality, this price only allows for a small profit to break even; if it were any lower, the printing costs wouldn't even be covered.

"No way, with such good artwork and writing, you only want twenty yuan!"

As someone working in the industry, Luo Qianyu understands the plight of struggling comic artists very well, because she was one of them in the past... cough cough.

Therefore, she hopes that the author of this comic can make money by selling the comic, at least enough to pay for the next convention, instead of having to bear the losses themselves.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang was inexplicably moved, and he gave Luo Qianyu, who was preparing to buy the comic book, a deep look.

The latter blushed and her heart raced.

Oh no, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to resist the charm of this man in front of me...

Luo Qianyu couldn't help but slightly tighten her legs, waiting for Jiang Tang's response.

"I really didn't expect anyone to tell me that I was selling it too cheaply. If Shi Xue heard this, she would be very touched... Ah, it's the comic's author. She's gone to see a friend now and will be back soon."

"But for this book, I really can only charge you twenty yuan. Thank you for reading it."

"No, you're welcome! Good works deserve recognition!"

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Luo Qianyu tugged at the bear ears on her hood, trying to hide her embarrassment at receiving Jiang Tang's attention.

She's usually a very timid person, but for some reason today...

It's as if Jiang Tang is a rainbow that you can only dream of in the future. If you don't chase after him now, you might never have the chance to meet him again.

Her fingers gripped the bear's ears tightly.

"If it's possible, I... would you like to add this author's contact information?"

She immediately asked for the guy's contact information, but as expected, she swallowed the words back down. She just couldn't do it!

However, if you obtain the author's contact information under the pretext of wanting to get to know the author... there will always be opportunities to communicate or meet the boy in front of you again in the future.

Being able to watch over someone else's stall is naturally a symbol of intimacy.

Jiang Tang was slightly surprised for a moment, recalling the way Shi Xue looked when she returned after working a day at the maid shop for the first time.

She was very happy then, her eyes sparkling like stars, and she tirelessly told Jiang Tang about what had happened during the day, and most importantly... she had made friends.

Shi Xue seemed to be suppressing her other emotions, wanting to entrust her whole heart to Jiang Tang. All she needed to do was serve the young master and experience his joys and sorrows. As for her own emotions, they didn't matter much...

Even if that's what she thought, Jiang Tang would never agree.

If it were Shixue, she would be very happy to have gained a loyal reader so quickly.

Given that, it doesn't seem so unacceptable to ask her to add Shixue's contact information.

At least it adds a touch of youth to Shi Xue's WeChat, which is full of middle-aged women and uncles (other parents). The girl in front of her looks very young. Could she still be a junior high school student?

"I understand. Thank you for liking this comic. Please leave your contact information here, and I'll have her try adding it when she gets back."

"Also, you can transfer the money here, twenty yuan."

"Mmm!" Luo Qianyu's little scheme went unnoticed and succeeded, making her tone cheerful.

After transferring the money, Jiang Tang told her to take care, and then continued to watch over his stall, waiting for Shi Xue's return.

He began to look forward to the arrival of the next guest and imagined what she might look like.

Generally speaking, the readership of shoujo manga should be young girls like the bear girl from earlier, right?

There are male readers, though not many. Jiang Tang knows what kind of comics boys like to read.

In fact, his painting skills far surpassed those of Shixue.

If he's willing...

Perhaps his name will soon be all over some pink-themed app, I'm talking about the comics section of Bilibili! Don't get the wrong idea!
