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

This is a very clever composition. Although no people are visible, anyone who has seen it will know that the reader is the one looking up at the night sky and the falling snow.

This idea actually came from a heavy snowfall a long time ago. The owner didn't say a word, just looked up and watched the snowflakes fall for a long, long time.

At that time, Shixue wondered if the starry sky and snowflakes that her master saw were the same as what she saw.

I long to see the scenery through my master's eyes.

Shi Xue was in a very far position, so she could only see a light blue blob on the book cover. At that moment, she had no idea that it was related to her own book.

They were just trying to console themselves with a bit of an "Ah Q" mentality: they never expected that the future of the girls' comics industry, and the background color of that "newbie's" cover, would be the same as the one they had chosen.

Jiang Tang's expression was almost blank at this moment.

Hey... what a coincidence! Could it be that the girl who bought comics this morning wearing a bear hoodie is...?

"This is the work of the new artist I'm going to introduce. It's called 'Snow Falls on His Shoulders,' a very romantic name that makes you want to quietly carry the moonlight along the way."

Luo Qianyu's voice is gentle and sweet, not mature, but rather complements her petite and delicate appearance, exuding a soft, childlike quality.

No wonder she has several other nicknames, such as "Prison Food Painter", "Milk Feather", and "Mature Lolita".

It's worth mentioning that only a few people know this last nickname, which is Luo Qianyu's most hated nickname. It was given to her by her artist friend.

When Ms. Chiyu revealed the name of the newcomer's work, it immediately sparked a heated discussion among all the fans.

Amidst the bustling crowd, only Shixue remained frozen in place!

She's a little dizzy right now. Just now, Teacher Qianyu mentioned that book... what was its name again?

"Found it! The artist here is a young man!"

"I've been eyeing him for ages, he's so handsome I can't even close my legs..."

"Please, please give me a copy of 'Snow Falls on His Shoulders'!"

"I want two copies, one for my sister too!"

People waiting in line at the autograph session noticed Jiang Tang and the pile of comic books recommended by Qian Yu in front of him, and they all rushed over to buy them.

While explaining to everyone that he was not the author of the comic, Jiang Tang also had to take on the responsibility of handling the cashier and packaging.

He started getting busy, experiencing both pain and joy.

As for Shiyu, who was walking aimlessly forward with the group as Chiyu-sensei's new book signing began, she cast a pleading and uneasy glance at her master.

Jiang Tang would never ignore Shi Xue's gaze. He was already tall and imposing when he stood up, and most of the people who bought his comic books were girls.

So the two looked at each other across the sea of ​​people, and Jiang Tang smiled and gestured and lip-read for her.

Don't worry, I'm here. Go see your idol.

Shi Xue sniffed, her eyes brightening again, and she nodded gratefully to her master.

Soon, it was Shi Xue's turn. Dressed in a maid outfit with her right eye covered by an eyepatch, she attracted attention, not to mention she was a top-notch beauty.

Luo Qianyu looked up and gave her fans a polite smile.

But the moment he saw Shixue, he was instantly stunned.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?

She quickly realized what was happening.

Which manga is it? The one with the maid protagonist?

Wait a minute... I've only just started recommending it, and the cosplay is already out??

Fortunately, Shi Xue's next words answered her doubts, but they shocked her even more.

"Teacher Chiyu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"I...I am the author of this comic book, and I am very, very grateful!"

As she spoke, Shi Xue Chao Luo Qian Yu bowed deeply and solemnly.

Her breasts sagged, forming two perfect hemispheres, causing Luo Qianyu, who witnessed this scene, to blush.

Wow, it's huge! I originally thought the description in the comic was exaggerated.

So you... you drew it based on your own work too?!

All I can do is envy them!

The fans behind Shi Xue exclaimed in surprise.

"She...she's the author of that comic book!?"

"A meeting between seniors and juniors!"

"The passing of the torch from the old to the new—this will be a moment that goes down in the history of shoujo manga!"

?074 Becoming an Apprentice

Shi Xue bowed deeply to Teacher Qianyu, her nose tingling with emotion.

As a newcomer to the comics industry, no one understands better than her what it means to be mentored by a renowned senior.

Words cannot express my gratitude; I can only show it through my actions.

Therefore, she bowed for a long time, until Luo Qianyu felt that she could not bear it and helped her up.

When Ms. Qianyu stood up, she revealed that she was only 1.4 meters tall and petite, which contrasted perfectly with the tall and voluptuous maid in front of her, immediately eliciting good-natured laughter from the fans.

She blushed and tried to remain calm.

"No, you don't need to thank me so much!"

"Don't think of me as a senior or teacher. From the moment I started reading your comics, I became an ordinary reader. I enjoyed your story, appreciated your drawing skills, and was moved by the emotions you evoked. At that moment, I thought that this kind of work should never be allowed to be tarnished."

"So, I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

"Teacher Qianyu..."

Shi Xue was deeply moved after hearing Luo Qianyu's words, and at that moment, she had only one thought in her mind.

That means: I've chosen the right person to support! Qianyu is forever a god!

This is probably the opinion of many other fans as well.

"As expected of Teacher Chiba!"

"Ahhh, I want to call the big boss!"

"I want Daddy to have my child!"

There seemed to be some strange language mixed in, but I'll ignore it.

Is this your first time publishing a comic book?

"Yes, yes, Ms. Chiba!"

"To be able to do this well, you must have done a lot of preparation beforehand."

"I read Professor Qianyu's works every day and study them!"

"Hehe, I wouldn't call myself a writer or a teacher, but I'm willing to discuss comics with you as an equal."

"Interested in becoming my partner?" Luo Qianyu blinked and extended an olive branch to Shi Xue.

"Partner? Partner?" Shi Xue said in surprise.

"It's like drawing comics together, but I'm not your assistant. I'm a like-minded friend. I can teach you a lot during this time because you're a promising new comic artist that I really believe in!"

"Isn't that my teacher? I'm willing! I'm willing to become Teacher Qianyu's apprentice!"

"Eh..."

Seeing Luo Qianyu's surprised look, Shi Xue then explained.

"At my current level, it would be inappropriate and disrespectful to stand on the same level as Teacher Qianyu, not to mention that Teacher Qianyu is my senior. Therefore, I think it would be better to get along as master and apprentice!"

Shi Xue's gaze was resolute, while Luo Qianyu's lips, hidden behind her mask, revealed a bitter smile.

"Well, there's really no other way then." She wasn't good at changing other people's minds; on the contrary, she was often persuaded. "Then let's be master and apprentice. I look forward to the day when you grow to be as good as me!"

"Yes!"

Shi Xue straightened her chest, her eyes reddening with emotion, and resolved to become a disciple that Teacher Qian Yu could be proud of.

This scene at today's comic convention will surely be circulated and become a legendary tale in the comic book world.

After exchanging contact information with Luo Qianyu, Shi Xue stopped bothering her master at the book signing and left with a book specially signed for her by her master!

Luo Qianyu watched the girl's joyful figure as she walked away, her eyes filled with a smile.

Master and apprentice? That seems like a good option.

Actually, the reason she proposed that Shixue become her partner was...

Firstly, he genuinely admired Shixue's talent in comics, and as a senior, he didn't want her to make the same mistakes he had made, so he wanted to help her as much as possible.

Secondly, Shi Xue can help him break out of his stagnation and stimulate his achievements in girls' comics with her talent, which can be described as mutually reinforcing.

As for the third one... cough cough, I'm a little embarrassed to say it.

Actually, it's related to that handsome guy, the handsome guy who helped Shixue sell comic books.

Ever since that fleeting glimpse of him that morning, Luo Qianyu couldn't stop thinking about him. Even when she was brainstorming ideas for a new comic, every male protagonist she imagined was him...

If I manage to connect with Shixue...

Could there be a chance to get to know him better...?

Luo Qianyu is not young anymore. She has been drawing shoujo manga about sweet love, but she has never tasted love herself.

It's as pathetic as an artist who draws pamphlets being a virgin himself!

………………

With a beaming smile, Shi Xue carried Qian Yu's book back to her owner amidst envious glances.

But upon returning, the scene before her eyes left her speechless with astonishment.

"The book...Master, where is our book?!"

The more than one hundred books that had been piled up in front of her had all disappeared, replaced by an empty stall and Jiang Tang, the owner, sitting in his seat with his hands outstretched, looking helpless.
