Chapter 698 Is she here?
It was about whether she could return home smoothly, so it was reasonable for Ma Youyou to be nervous.
Ma Lu saw this and went into the kitchen to ask Lao Wang to help make a stewed camel meat with gastrodia elata and served it to Ma Youyou.
"Eat it, your brain will calm down again."
"Well, thank you." Ma Youyou relaxed after finishing the bowl of stewed camel meat with gastrodia elata and stopped chewing her nails.
About 40 minutes later, a taxi stopped outside the door of the Universe Infinite Canteen.
In order to express his welcome to the great cartoonist, Boss Ma went out to greet him personally. He opened the passenger door, only to find that it was empty.
So Ma Lu opened the back seat door again, but it was still empty.
For a moment, Ma Lu thought Qi Yu noticed something and ran away halfway, but then the driver's door opened and a middle-aged man wearing a gray jacket, glasses and holding a thermos cup stepped out of the car.
Malu asked him, "Master, where are the passengers?"
The taxi driver was stunned when he heard this, "There are no passengers, it's just me."
"Huh?"
Boss Ma and the driver stared at each other. Half a minute later, Ma Lu tentatively asked, "Are you... Teacher Qiyu?"
"Yes, I am Qi Yu." the taxi driver said, pushing up his glasses.
"…………"
"Your car is quite unique."
Ma Lu tried to dial Qi Yu's phone number, and the next moment a female voice sang from the taxi driver's phone.
I wish you peace, oh, I wish you peace~ Let the happiness surround you~
"Wait a moment, my wife is looking for me..."
"Oh, it was me. I accidentally touched it just now."
Ma Lu paused and said, "Teacher Qiyu, you are already married, so why don't you bring your wife with you?"
"No, I'm not married." Qi Yu changed his words again, "I am alone now, no, I have always been alone."
"Then you've been single... for a long time. You should be in your forties." Ma Lu reached out to shake Qi Yu's hand.
"I was born in 1983."
"Teacher Qiyu really devoted all his youth to comics." Ma Lu tried.
"Yes, drawing comics is very hard, especially when the deadline is approaching and there are very fierce editors who keep urging me." Qi Yu complained, "It's too scary. It's like calling my wife to check the post. In the middle of the night, they will come to your door and knock on the door.”
"Really, cartoonists are human beings too. Don't they need to sleep? Let me tell you, I only worked the night shift in the first few years. Later, when I got older and my health was not good, I only worked the day shift."< br>
"Hey, Teacher Qiyu, have you ever driven a taxi?"
"Ah." Probably realizing something, Qi Yu hurriedly said, "I, I am here to collect materials. To collect materials, I drive a taxi. I don't usually drive it. I usually drive a Maserati or a Mercedes-Benz when I go out."
< br>
"Oh oh oh, anyway, thank you Teacher Qiyu for being willing to give me a favor today," Ma Lu said, "Quick, please come in."
Qi Yu was about to leave when he thought of something again and asked, "Isn't there a sign if you stop here?"
"No, I generally don't post it."
"That's good." Qi Yu felt relieved and followed Ma Lu into the restaurant. He looked around curiously.
"I have seen a lot of short videos of your store on the Internet. I have passed by the door several times before, but unfortunately I have never come in. I heard that the food in your store is very expensive." "It's okay. Let's count restaurants of the same quality. The cheapest.”
"Is six to seven hundred for a dish considered cheap?" Qi Yu couldn't help but be speechless after seeing the dishes and prices on the small blackboard, "There are so many rich people."
Ma Lu and Ma Youyou looked at each other, and they both found that this teacher Qi Yu was a little strange. Logically speaking, a great cartoonist who drew famous works such as "One Piece", "Chainsaw Man", and "Under One Man" should not It's just a lack of money.
But Qi Yu does seem to be... simpler than expected.
Of course, it may also be because he is a homebody and has been busy creating comics and has little contact with the outside world, which makes him relatively simple.
Malu decided to stay put for now and then observe, "I have already told the chef that I have specially prepared your favorite Mexican food today. I hope you can enjoy this meal."
"It's time for me to enjoy myself," Qi Yu murmured, "After all, I worked so hard to draw comics."
"Speaking of comics, I remember that "Under One Person" seems to be updated every Friday. Today is Wednesday, which means that it will be updated again in two days. I am really looking forward to the plot behind it."
Taking advantage of the time before the food was served, Ma Lu and Qi Yu continued to chat.
Qi Yu's expression changed when he heard the word "update". He looked around and whispered, "I'm going out to eat and relax today. Can you not mention work?"
"Okay," Malu nodded, "I just want to say that I am your biggest fan."
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
"Hmm, that's normal. My works are very popular around the world."
"Yes, I hope Mr. Qiyu that your "One Piece" can resume updates as soon as possible."
"I think you want to tire me to death."
"No, no," if Ma Youyou was a little skeptical at first when he said that Qi Yu had plagiarized other authors' comics, Ma Lu was now basically certain.
After that, he suddenly remembered something and slammed the table.
Qi Yu was frightened and asked, "She's here?"
"Who are you talking about?"
Qi Yu looked around and didn't see the figure that frightened him. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, it's nothing. Why did you react so much just now."
"I just thought of something very important."
"What happened."
As a result, before Ma Lu could answer, another taxi stopped outside the store. When he saw the female passenger in black silk OL uniform getting out of the taxi, Qi Yu's expression changed drastically.
Seeing the woman walking towards the restaurant, Ma Youyou took the initiative to greet her, "I'm sorry, miss, we are closed today."
"I know, I'm here to find someone." The woman's eyes were very sharp, and she immediately spotted Qi Yu who was diving under the table.
"Okay, I went to your house and didn't find you. You are indeed here!" After saying this, the woman ducked under Ma Youyou's arm, and then rushed towards Qi Yu under the table.
"Didn't you promise me that you would give up all social activities these two days and just paint at home? Why are you here again? Do you know that the assistants in the studio are waiting for you? Your draft.
"There are only two days left before Friday. You have to give me the manuscript today no matter what. Otherwise, how will everyone draw the lines and color it?"
"Kill me," Qi Yu said angrily, "I can't draw."
"Why should I kill you? What I want is your draft."
