Chapter 690: Escape

The poster indeed took only half an hour to complete.◆

When he left, the store manager also gave each cartoonist some coupons, and on average, each person got four or five hundred. The coupons can be used at He Xizhijia dessert shops across the country. As a reward for photos, the cartoonists also accepted them safely.

They took two photos, and the group photos would not be used in other local stores. They can only be said to be a foil for Meng Huo, and they cannot be considered as spokespersons.

The poster made of Meng Huo's photos will be used as commercial promotion. He is the real spokesperson. The female store manager gave Meng Huo money, but Meng Huo refused. However, he didn't get anything. The reward he received was that he could designate anyone to enjoy dessert for free in the future.

Of course there is a limit of millions here, but Meng Huo believes that he will never use it for millions of desserts in his life!

"Okay, give it to my mother..." Meng Huo heard that there was a branch of He Xizhijia near Jiayuan Community, so he didn't need it, so he happened to use it for Li Qin so that she could eat desserts for free every day.

After finishing the dessert shop itinerary, Meng Huo separated from the cartoonists.

He had three meetings this day, once in the morning and twice in the afternoon. When the last time ended, it was already evening. Meng Huo felt a little exhausted when he returned to the apartment, so he didn't plan to go out again today.

He sat on the sofa and rubbed his brows with his fingers. Today's carnival came, although his body was still full of energy, for some reason, when Meng Huo recalled the boiling tourists, he felt a little bored.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Alice put the dishes in the kitchen, and when she walked out, she found that Meng Huo was not in good spirits. After the last meeting, she protected Meng Huo like yesterday. Meng Huo had nothing to do tonight. She took the initiative to come to the apartment.

"I didn't feel much. I felt a little tired." Meng Huo replied. Then he asked, "When will Shen Jie come?"

He didn't want Alice to come to the apartment, especially now that Shen Jie is on Comic Island, Meng Huo always feels it's not good to let Alice enter next to her. However, Alice said that Shen Jie would come tonight, so Meng Huo didn't mind.

"Her performance should have ended, it will be here in half an hour!" Alice smiled slightly, she looked at Meng Huo's mentality, and asked softly: "Do you feel that you can't fit into the atmosphere of the carnival?"

Meng Huo was stunned, and he turned to look at Alice. She was right. Meng Huo could still enjoy the carnival yesterday, but today it was a little out of place. This feeling had already arisen during the second meeting today.

At that time, Meng Huo was standing on the field, and tourists enthusiastically asked him: comics, animations, games and movies. They enthusiastically asked him about everything about the comics industry. At that time, Meng Huo discovered for the first time that he could not integrate into them.

The tourists were so enthusiastic, but he found that he could not be as enthusiastic as them. He was obviously similar to them before, but now he seemed to have burned out the feeling of enthusiasm. He could never burn it up again - it seemed like there was a diaphragm.

Once this feeling is realized, it will be particularly obvious at the third meeting, and then after the end... Meng Huo only feels very tired now.

"Maybe it's because I've been too busy these days..." Meng Huo sighed.

Alice was silent. Meng Huo was indeed very busy recently, but his fatigue had been shown a long time ago. To be precise, it was not fatigue, but gradually losing fun in the comics. Because my heart is getting less and less love for it, Meng Huo will involuntarily feel tired.

Because he has gradually become not doing what he likes, but doing a job that has lost his fun. Now his fatigue is just that he is slowly realizing this. With Meng Huo's intelligence, it will take not long before he can see his heart clearly.

He still thinks he likes his job, but in a few months, the situation will be different.

Alice had not come up with the best solution, but she could not let Meng Huo notice this, so she walked behind Meng Huo and suddenly put her hand on his head: "Don't move, I'll give you a massage."

"You can massage?" Meng Huo was surprised.

"Well, although it's amateur, it's somewhat useful." Alice chuckled softly. This technique was learned from her nanny at home. She originally gave her parents a massage. Meng Huo was the first outsider to enjoy it.

However, Meng Huo thought Alice learned it when she was an agent.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed Alice's massage. Her technique was very gentle, reminding Meng Huo of the car she drove. He believed that Alice was a very gentle woman in her heart, but she rarely showed it and gave people the impression that she was capable and calm.

Meng Huo smelled the fragrance of her body. The perfume used by Alice has not changed for several years. Perhaps because of her long-term use of the same perfume, her body itself also brought such an atmosphere.

This is different from Shen Jie. Meng Huo still remembers the period when he first met Shen Jie. At that time, Shen Jie did not use perfume. Then, when she said she liked him, she began to bring the smell of perfume on her body, and it would change from time to time.

Those perfumes didn't smell particularly good, but when I looked back, I seemed to see the girl picking different perfumes in the supermarket with a frown. Meng Huo couldn't help but smile.

"It's really green..."

He thought so, Shen Jie was such a young girl that year. If time could go back again, he would definitely walk in front of her and hug her, because the youth disappeared before Meng Huo noticed it.

Shen Jie is now mature. After becoming a voice actor, she is maturing quickly whether it is makeup or other characteristics.

Someone once used metaphors to describe the difference between the same girl's college and high school, namely the swan and the ugly duckling. After Han Xuan and Li Yu became college students, they met again and became fashionable girls. However, at the apartment party a few days ago, they were overshadowed in front of Shen Jie.

The gap is no longer a difference in appearance, but a gap in temperament, dress, and even worldview. This is the essential reason why Alice can become friends with Shen Jie. Women and girls cannot become friends. Shen Jie is fading away her youth and becoming a mature woman.

She was already close to Alice, and even in the slightest perfume use, she had her own style.

"Okay, thank you." After a while, Alice's massage seemed to have worked. Meng Huo felt his spirit recover a little. He patted his forehead, then stood up and smiled, "Let's go, help me, let's cook first."

Alice smiled: "Don't think I'm in the way."

As she said this, she followed Meng Huo into the kitchen. Alice was still not good at housework, but in fact she could do a good job. She didn't want to be behind in this area all the time.

Halfway through the meal, the apartment doorbell rang.

"Chen Jie is here, I'll bring her in."

Alice put down her work and walked out and opened the door.

Not long after, Chen Jie followed her to the kitchen. She smelled the steamer beside Meng Huo, and her eyes lit up: "It smells so good, I'm just hungry... Alice, please get out of the way, I'll help too!"

She ignored the skirt she was wearing and grabbed the kitchen knife and started helping to cut vegetables. The speed was more than twice as fast as Alice. "I can't compare to you." Alice smiled bitterly and had to turn around to wash the last dish.

Meng Huo looked at this scene and seemed to have something flashed in his heart. He shook his head slightly and then continued to cook. The dinner was eaten by three people, and the dishes were very good, but they could not be wasted. As a result, everyone ate the stomach and lie on the sofa and didn't want to move.

"The new comic will be announced tomorrow, right?"

Chen Jie asked, her head suddenly hung lazily on Meng Huo's shoulders.

"Well, I'll draw a poster later." Meng Huo replied. He didn't want to move. These two guys just now kept picking up the dishes, but the person who ate the most was Meng Huo. In order to announce the comic tomorrow, he obviously had a poster to draw tonight.

"You are trying to let me sleep late, are you?"

He sighed, the poster had to be painted. The task at night was already arduous enough, but now my stomach needs to be digested for half an hour before I can work. I can't sleep before midnight tonight.

"Puff, who told you to say whatever you want..."

Alice laughed. She washed the rice. She asked Meng Huo how much rice it was. Meng Huo said casually, but she washed too much. Alice turned her head and suddenly saw Chen Jie leaning her head against Meng Huo's shoulder. A trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Then she quietly moved her body and then put her head on Meng Huo's shoulder.

Meng Huo's body stiffened slightly, but he did not react any other - he didn't know what to do now, and it seemed that nothing was good.

“…”

The three of them fell silent at the same time. Chen Jie squinted her eyes slightly on the other side, not knowing what she was thinking. Alice was here, her face turned a little red. She bit her lip nervously, but she didn't say anything.

The two women leaned against Meng Huo and felt nothing except their slight breathing.

But Meng Huo felt that his breathing was a little difficult. He couldn't figure out Chen Jie's thoughts clearly. He didn't know if he wanted to force Alice to leave now. But if this was the case, would it be a break from his promise? What would it hurt Alice?

"...I'd better go and draw!" Meng Huo suddenly said, then stood up and walked towards the study.

Alice and Shen Jie were shocked, and they looked at each other, both of them were surprised.

"So he also has times to escape."

The first person to speak was Alice, who smiled.

"yes."
