I really like your sand sculpture group friends

Then, for him, there wasn't much difference between the painting being done by Bai Shishi and the painting being done by Bai Shishi's friend.

Mo Xiangwen stroked his chin. Since it was his request, it had to be relayed to Bai Shishi's friends.

The paintings that Bai Shishi's friends sent to him had to go through Bai Shishi herself.

How could Bai Shishi not know what the painting was?

That's fine. There were no requests to draw anything for all ages; they were all commissioned as legitimate works.

Now, his only worry is whether Bai Shishi will find out about the novel he wrote.

No way, that's too dangerous. Mo Xiangwen wiped away imaginary cold sweat, silently praying for God's protection.

However, while the results of "The Junior Girl Development Project" are quite good, it is not a regular on the list.

Furthermore, there's no known history of Bai Shishi reading novels, so the possibility of it being discovered is probably slim.

However, if Bai Shishi were an artist, she could understand why an artist who paints so well would be willing to give her a discount.

On the other side of the screen, Bai Shishi stared at the chat box that hadn't received a reply for a long time, and her heart sank little by little.

Bai Bai: I'm sorry, Xiao Yi.

Bai Bai: I really didn't mean to lie to you at first.

The sudden pop-up message brought Mo Xiangwen back to his senses.

Human and Dragon in One: Ah, it's nothing, I was just a little surprised.

Human and Dragon in One: No need to apologize, I believe you never intended to lie to me in the first place.

Upon seeing these words, Bai Shishi's tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and her anxious heart finally settled down.

Even though she believed Xiao Yi would forgive her, she still felt uneasy when it came time to actually confess.

Bai Bai: Thank you, Xiao Yi.

Human and dragon in harmony: However, Shishi's painting skills are very impressive.

Bai Bai: Hehe, Xiao Yi praised me.

Bai Shishi's cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards, like a child who had secretly eaten candy, feeling sweet inside.

Human-Dragon Unity: Shishi, are you free lately?

Mo Xiangwen then remembered the agreement that "all manuscripts should be submitted to her 'friends' first," which turned out to be an agreement made by Bai Shishi herself.

He was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

He should have said so earlier! If Bai Shishi had asked, how could he have refused?

Besides, he really liked Bai Shishi's art style, so he had no reason not to agree if Bai Shishi asked.

Bai Bai: Yes, of course.

Bai Bai: If Xiao Yi needs me, I'm always available.

Human and Dragon as One: The original artwork is now in your hands.

Human and Dragon in One: The file has been sent.

Human and Dragon in One: The main image is a little fox, and her other form, the little fox girl.

Human and Dragon as One: Although there are many different appearances, those are skins, which can be discussed later.

Bai Shishi opened the file, looked at the detailed settings and requirements inside, and nodded thoughtfully.

Bai Bai: I see, Xiao Yi likes fox girls.

Mo Xiangwen, who was drinking water in front of the screen, almost choked on his water when he saw this sentence.

After a brief hesitation, his fingers flew across the keyboard, creating a clattering sound.

In Bai Shishi's eyes, it was only a moment before Mo Xiangwen replied to the message.

Human and Dragon in Harmony: No, considering that our art style will be geared towards players who prefer anime and manga, it's normal for our mascot's image to be more appealing.

Bai Bai: This little fox girl has blonde hair, will she have white hair in the future?

Bai Shishi seemed unconcerned about his explanation, instead pressing for details with great interest.

Human and dragon in one: Absolutely, white hair is just a matter of changing the skin.

Human and dragon in one: However, the main image is indeed blonde, which is more in line with everyone's first impression.

Bai Bai: I see.

Bai Bai: Not only the blonde fox girl likes it, but the white-haired one does too.

Bai Bai: Is it okay as long as she's a little fox girl?

Human and Dragon as One: No, let me explain.

The unity of man and dragon: This is a decision made with great care, taking into account many factors.

Human-Dragon Unity: Besides, can the things at the studio be called a hobby?

Bai Shishi smiled with pursed lips on the other side of the screen and lightly tapped on the keyboard.

Bai Bai: It's okay.

Bai Bai: Xiao Yi likes little fox girls, and I will like little fox girls too.

Bai Bai: Leave it to me, I will do my best.

After replying to the message, Bai Shishi clenched her little fist and cheered herself up.

It's decided, I'll start working seriously tomorrow.

Human and Dragon as One: Right, then according to our agreement.

Human-Dragon Unity: How about Shishi simply becomes a member of our studio?

Human and Dragon in Harmony: Just like I said before, the next game will really need Shishi.

Bai Shishi's eyes lit up, and she did so almost without hesitation.

That's exactly what she was waiting for. Ever since she learned about Xiao Yi Studio's establishment, she'd been thinking about how to be honest with Xiao Yi and join the studio.

Unexpectedly, things were so simple; once she confessed, the matter was resolved naturally.

Bai Bai: Of course.

Bai Bai: Even if Xiao Yi hadn't said anything, I would have volunteered to join.

Mo Xiangwen suddenly realized that if he used his teacher's daughter like this, wouldn't his teacher be angry?

I can only say I hope it won't happen.

Human-Dragon Unity: Then I'll prepare another computer for you in the studio.

Humans and dragons in one: This way, everyone can play together in the studio.

Bai Bai: Besides being able to play together, I'm also looking forward to working hard with Xiao Yi.

Human and Dragon in Harmony: Haha, it's okay to work hard, but remember to take care of your health!

Bai Bai: Okay.

Mo Xiangwen leaned back on the soft sofa, having just put down his phone, his face still bearing a mixture of helplessness and amusement.

It's quite a pleasant surprise that Bai Shishi is an artist.

Although it comes with a small risk.

Just then, a slight scraping sound came from the side.

He turned his head and saw Yan Nuoya, who had been curled up at the other end of the sofa taking a nap, rubbing her eyes and sitting up groggily, still sleepy.

"Hmm, what time is it now?" Yan Nuoya's voice was still lazy from just waking up, and she yawned slightly.

"You've only been asleep for a short while, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Mo Xiangwen hesitated for a moment, but decided to wait until she woke up after a while before saying anything.

Yan Nuoya blinked, seemingly not fully awake yet, but she still noticed his hesitation: "What's wrong?"

Chapter 116 Temporary Cohabitation (4K Two-in-One)

Looking at her sleepy eyes, Mo Xiangwen asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling a little unaccustomed to it?"

Yan Nuoya remained silent for a few seconds, her gaze sweeping around the empty studio.

A place that's familiar during the day becomes unfamiliar when the lights are off at night, with the outlines of tables, chairs, and equipment standing there all seem strange.

She looked away and responded very softly, "...Mm."

He sounded rather listless. Mo Xiangwen frowned: "How about we rent a place outside the school, but I don't think that will solve the problem."

Of course, you can overcome any initial discomfort; you'll get used to it after staying a few more days.

Judging from Yan Nuoya's reaction, besides feeling uncomfortable, she probably lacks a sense of security.

The studio is far from the dormitory building, so it's quiet, but inevitably, at night, the thought of being all alone in this area makes me a little prone to overthinking.

In his opinion, Yan Nuoya was a very smart girl.

They have excellent learning abilities, outstanding academic performance, and are also very good at understanding other people's thoughts.

Although she doesn't usually try to understand others, the smarter a person is, the more active their thinking is.

Naturally, it's hard to avoid overthinking late at night.

"It'll be fine in a couple of days," Yan Nuoya said softly, pursing her lips.

"...How about I come and stay with you for a couple of days?" Mo Xiangwen hesitated for a moment, trying his best to keep his tone normal, as if discussing a trivial matter.

"Huh...?" Yan Nuoya was clearly a little surprised. She looked up at him and then shook her head slightly. "I don't think I'm that fragile. I'll be fine after a little adjustment."

"It's okay. If you don't mind, I can move back after you've settled in."

He knew Yan Nuoya wouldn't object to his presence, but he still needed to ask clearly, otherwise it would seem too presumptuous of him to do so.

Yan Nuoya didn't answer immediately. She lowered her gaze and looked at him for several seconds before nodding.

Her voice was soft, but exceptionally clear: "...Okay."

Seeing that she finally nodded, Mo Xiangwen breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yan Nuoya were to tease him at this moment, he really wouldn't know how to respond.

“Okay,” Mo Xiangwen said, standing up immediately after receiving a positive reply. “Then I’ll go back to my dorm to get my cup and toiletries.”

Yan Nuoya also got up, saying, "I'll go back with you to move it."

"No need, you should rest a bit more." Mo Xiangwen shook his head and gestured to stop her.

Mo Xiangwen said matter-of-factly, "It's pointless for two people to go with just a blanket."

Yan Nuoya, being more rational in her thinking, considered it and concluded that there was little point in the two of them going together, so she nodded.

-----------------

When Mo Xiangwen pushed open the dormitory door, it was bustling inside. The three of them were playing games together as usual.

He tried to move quietly as he walked straight to his spot, but the sound of him rolling up the blanket still caught his attention.

"Huh? Xiang Wen? He's back?" Qin Yongfeng took off one of his headphones during a break in the game and looked at him with some surprise.

Mo Xiangwen gave a vague "hmm" and continued working, quickly rolling up the blanket and stuffing it into a backpack.

"Brother Mo, why are you rolling up the blanket?" Xi Shaojie and the other two, who seemed to have just finished playing a game, immediately came over with curious expressions: "Are you going to wash it?"

Zhong Taihong turned around and looked at him strangely: "Are you planning to go camping? Or are you planning to move into Yan's dorm? I didn't hear that you applied to stay out overnight."

Mo Xiangwen knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he zipped up his handbag, turned around, slung the bag over his shoulder, and tried to sound as natural as possible: "No, I'm just staying at the studio for a few days, for convenience."

"Live in a studio?" Qin Yongfeng turned around, pushed up his glasses, and asked in surprise, "A studio? Can people live in such a place?"

“You used to come back very late, but it’s strange that you suddenly said you wanted to move your bedding over there to sleep.” Qin Yongfeng frowned and looked him over. “Is there some kind of difficulty? Tell the brothers, maybe they can help you.”

Zhong Taihong also stood up, walked up to Mo Xiangwen, and looked him up and down: "Yeah, there isn't even a proper bed in the studio, is there? Are you sleeping on the floor? Why do you suddenly want to live there?"

The two of them bombarded the questions out like firecrackers, a whole string of them popping out in quick succession.

"Ahem." Mo Xiangwen coughed lightly, his eyes avoiding their probing gazes with some embarrassment.

His roommates were so concerned about him that he felt a little embarrassed to talk nonsense.
