  Yu Lili felt ill at ease. She cleared her throat out of awkwardness and replied, “I’m not done with my drawing, and the deadline is drawing near. If I don’t rush my draft out in time, I’ll be in for a reprimand.”


  “You draw, too?” Wen Fenglin was surprised. This was his first time hearing of Yu Lili’s profession.

  Yu Lili felt even more awkward and faked a light cough. She tried to maintain indifference, but she felt her face heat up nonetheless. With a nod of her head, she replied, “The nature of my drawings is different from yours. I’m the artist for a comic series online……”


  “Awesome!” Wen Fenglin’s eyes lit up. “Can I have a look at your comics?”


  “Eh……” Yu Lili’s awkwardness increased again tenfold. “My comics are geared toward young females, I can’t……”


  “That’s fine. Comics are an art, too. Coming up with storylines of good readability is beyond the ability of antiques like me,” Wen Fenglin said with a laugh. He suddenly changed the topic. “If it’s really too inconvenient, that’s fine. I was just curious.”


  Well……

  There had never been any animosity between Yu Lili and Wen Fenglin. Even now, good feelings remained. Since he had already made the request, Yu Lili felt it would be discourteous to refuse him.

  After a moment’s consideration, she fished out her cell phone out and opened the Eurasian Comics App. After tapping on her works, she said, “This is what I drew……”


  Wen Fenglin took hold of the phone and scrolled through it.

  Yu Lili couldn’t tell what Wen Fenglin’s expression was. She stood at her original spot embarrassed.

  This was the first time someone she knew had asked about her drawing. It was also the first time someone she knew was looking through her comics right in front of her. It felt peculiar.

  Uneasiness starting pricking through Yu Lili. “Is it a little too childish……”


  “Not at all. It’s very well drawn.” Wen Fenglin continued browsing through the strips. “It’s very different from other comic strips. Yours are more realistic. Why does this male lead look so familiar?”


  The male lead that was drawn wore a burgundy suit and was styled in the latest and most fashionable haircut. The character displayed on the cell phone screen was holding on to a champagne glass with his eyes narrowed His face was very symmetrical, and he was very good-looking.

  Compared to the drawings in other comics, Yu Lili’s were a lot more realistic looking. The source of her inspiration for this character was Ou Ming. So, of course, he looked familiar.

  Yu Lili forced out a dry laugh. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that Wen Fenglin had scrolled to the top and was looking at the title, “A Love Exchange.”


  The storyline of this comic series was based on Yu Lili’s own life. When the title was read out aloud, her heart skipped a beat. She hastily snatched the phone back. When she caught Wen Fenglin’s glance, she felt a little unsure of herself.

  Wen Fenglin just laughed and said, “I’ve seen this comic before. It’s one of the topmost read comics in China. It’s very popular. Someone introduced this comic to me before with the hope that I would promote it, but I never had the time to check it out. I didn’t know you were the artist.”


  Yu Lili was shocked at Wen Fenglin’s statement.

  Eurasian Comics had asked Wen Fenglin to promote her works?

  Wen Fenglin’s reputation in China was not to be underestimated. If he promoted her comics, the results would be…… But, then again, how could Ou Ming get a famous artist to do a cross-genre publicity for her works?
