Chapter 680 - There's Something Wrong With This Dungeon! (41)

Chapter 680 There’s Something Wrong With This Dungeon! (41)  
What does she want?
July had never thought about this problem.
Drawing comics was just a hobby; she had never set a clear goal before. In the end, her drafting fee was enough to support herself, so it became the primary source of income for her.
She didn’t even have a set direction even for love as well.
The money she gets from drawing comics was enough for her to get by, so she spends all day eating and waiting to die.
How did she live like this?
July couldn’t understand it herself.
Her parents work abroad, and they only visit her one month out of a year, at most. Not to mention, even when they were back, they had to go to various places and had no time for her. So, even if they were back, they had only spent a handful of their time with her.
When she was a child, her grandma was the one who took care of her. When her grandmother passed away, she was already an adult and can be independent on her own. So, her parents just paid for her living expenses every month.
Since university, she has been living alone.
She entered this circle when she was in high school. At that time, she was just drawing for fun and only released her work when she was in university. Unexpectedly, one of her works became very popular.
Later, she continued to draw and paint as usual. By the time she graduated, the payments of her drafts were enough for her to get by.
After graduating, she stayed here. And except for drawing and gaming, she had no high pursuits at all.
When Shi Sheng bluntly pointed this out, July’s self realisation was awakened abruptly.
She can’t just eat, wait and die like this!
July thought for a long time and made a decision.
She wants to become a well-known cartoonist.
People must have dreams and pursuits!
Since setting this goal, July has not played games, nor has she harassed Shi Sheng. Wei Mian had not seen July in the game, so he began to go on work trips as much as he could.
But July was busy drawing her manuscripts and ignored Wei Mian completely. So his efforts were all in vain.
What you can’t get is often the best of the best. Wei Mian had failed repeatedly, but he was constantly trying to remind July of his existence.
As for July’s change, the happiest person from this outcome was her editor.
At the bottom of the editor’s heart, July is a very agile cartoonist. Her works are easy and humorous, but they can always let people see beautiful and moving love stories.
……
3rd of April.
The signing tour for July’s new work
My World Only Has You
has officially started.
The protagonist of this work was based on Shi Sheng and Jing Xian. The background consisted of Chaotic World, but the characters were changed. In her works, Shi Sheng was the male lead, whereas Jing Xian was the female lead.
Her painting style was beautiful, and the interaction between the two characters was so sweet. Many plots had actually happened in the game. And unlike other comics, they did not follow the usual routes, but their antics definitely made people laugh.
It was very popular too when it was serialised.
Only one-third of the plot was updated online, and a pamphlet was issued at this time.
The first stop was supposed to be in the city where July was located, but she set the first stop in the city where Shi Sheng was located in S City.
The signing will go smoothly. Not only fans will come, but also players from the game.

July, why didn’t Hua Meng Meng and Jing Xian come?


Yeah, we came here to see them specifically.

July was surrounded by players, and her heart sank. She obviously called Shi Sheng, so why didn’t she come?
AAAAAAAA!
Has she fallen out of favour?!
July is unhappy.
Just when July was depressed, a girl squeezed into the crowd, holding a bunch of flowers in her hand. The words
I am unwilling
was clearly written on her face as she handed the flowers to July.
Big Sister Meng Meng asked me to give it to you.


Eh…Is this Ah Jin?
A player next to them exclaimed,
Do you and July know each other in real life?


I don’t know her.
Le Jin shoved the bouquet to July before she quickly turned and ran away.
July received the flower that Shi Sheng gave her, and her sunken mood was immediately wiped away. She wasn’t even affected by how Le Jin had treated her.
When the fansign was over, July saw Shi Sheng, Jing Xian, and Le Jin standing with another boy. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but they looked very good together.
July suddenly felt depressed. Why was she the only one that’s single!

Meng Meng!
July opened her arms and rushed over, probably because she wanted to hug Shi Sheng. However, Jing Xian, who was standing beside Shi Sheng, pulled her into his arms, leaving July leapt into the air and face planted to the window of a car instead. As July’s face stuck to the car’s chilly windows, her heart felt cold as well.
How infuriating!!
July laid down for a few seconds before standing up calmly, smiling,
Meng Meng, if I drew that he died, would you beat me?


I won’t.

July’s eyes suddenly brightened. 
You think you can bully me?! See how I’ll abuse your character!

However, in the next second, she heard her Meng Meng say

I will beat you to death.


How cruel!!!!

OH, YOU BOYTOY! How dare you laugh!

July held her chest, her fingers pointed back and forth between Shi Sheng and Jingxian, her face flushed.

How infuriating!!!!

July squatted on the ground, circling resentfully, 
why are they bullying her? Is it just because she is a single dog? What is wrong with being a single dog? She is a talented single dog!


July.


Who’s calling me?! Can’t you see that I am in a bad mood?
July roared back irritably.
After venting, July realised something odd.  Why does this voice sound rather peculiar?
She turned to look at the source of the voice. A man was standing one meter away from her, holding a bunch of bright red roses in his hands.
How flashy!
These two words flashed in July’s mind immediately.

July.
Wei Mian slowly walked to July and knelt down on one knee. With a solemn expression, as if swearing, he said,
I am willing to accompany you for the rest of my life and protect you from wind and rain. I promise I will only make you laugh and would never let you shed one single tear. July, would you give me the rest of your life?


SHALLOW!

This line is getting so old!

July turned her head to look at Shi Sheng, only to see that Shi Sheng was screwing the beverage bottle cap on for Jingxian.

This is so torturous!


Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!

A group of people emerged from nowhere, each holding a bunch of bright roses in their hands, surrounding them in the shape of a heart, shouting loud slogans.
Wei Mian was so nervous that his hands were sweating. He wanted to find a place to hide, but he couldn’t. He had to keep smiling and wait for her answer.
July stood up slowly.
Wei Mian is a person that’s actually relatively easy to get along with. He doesn’t have the arrogance of a young master and treats her very well. When she is with him, she feels very relaxed, and he will not feel uncomfortable because of his identity.
He would fly over to her place to give her food when she was busy with work and had no time to eat.
He would remember her menstrual cycles and remind her not to eat indiscriminately.
He would……
Actually, he’s pretty great.

Wei Mian, I can’t promise you.

The noise around him suddenly stopped, and everyone’s eyes were focused on July.
Wei Mian’s face was full of disappointment, and his voice was low,
Can you give me a reason?

July smiled and replied,
Because…I don’t know whether I like you or not. I can’t take a moment of joy as a sign that I like you.


It’s easy to move someone, but what about afterwards?

What comes after when you no longer feel moved?


Does that mean I still have a chance?
Wei Mian asked July suddenly expectantly.
July looked into the distance.
Maybe she will never meet a man who treats her so well in her life.
What does she want?
July had never thought about this problem.
