Chapter 175: Stunning Beauty Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

It was May 1st, Labor Day.

The customs of Longguo were the same as in the previous life, and the same Labor Day naturally required two days off.

The school arranged a break, and Luoyang not only took a break himself, but also gave Hua Qi, his assistant, and Long Wanchun, the bodyguard who was on standby at any time, a break.

In the morning, Luoyang took a stroll in the park near the apartment alone, and felt much more open-minded.

After returning home, he ate something casually, packed up, and began to create "Five Centimeters per Second".

In fact, after these days of hard work, Luoyang has already drawn the end of the first volume of "Five Centimeters per Second", and the hero and heroine are about to meet, and now Luoyang is continuing to draw his own plot...

Time passed bit by bit, and after drawing another page, Luoyang stretched his waist and drank a sip of tea to relax his mind slightly.

The fragrance of tea filled his mouth. Luoyang chuckled and picked up the paintbrush. However, this time, when Luoyang was about to start painting, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind--

The moonlight was raging under the cherry blossom trees that were blooming to the tea leaves. The scattered cherry blossoms fell in the air at a speed of five centimeters per second, blooming in a seductive manner in the breeze, and the lips of the boy and the girl slowly approached each other, and finally closed, blocking the traces of the moonlight. Time seemed to have stopped because of this.

Beside my ears, there seemed to be a beating heartbeat.

The tip of my nose seemed to have the indescribable fragrance of cherry blossoms.

As if the whole world had stopped working, the clear scene was real and vivid.

"This?"

The moonlight suddenly dissipated, and the cherry blossoms gradually drifted away...

As if in an instant, as if a thousand years had passed, Luoyang suddenly woke up, and the paintbrush in his hand stopped from then on, but his pupils suddenly shrank.

He was surprised to find that he had already completed a picture, and the scene that flashed in his mind just now was exactly the same as the one that flashed in his mind. He drew it on paper without any difference, and people couldn't look away at it at a glance!

This seemed to be no longer an ordinary cartoon. The seemingly simple picture revealed a strong happiness and sadness.

The whole painting was full of strong emotional fluctuations, as if it had life. Luoyang could feel the strong love and pain from it.

"Amazing..."

He put down the pen tremblingly, and his slightly sore arm reminded him all the time that this picture was indeed from his hands.

It was this mysterious state that made Luoyang have a new understanding of the extremely heartbreaking cartoon "Five Centimeters per Second", and this new understanding also made Luoyang's originally careless attitude undergo a very subtle change.

He decided to seriously and meticulously present this touching work.

———————

In the next two weeks, Luoyang continued to paint, but he did not have that kind of flash of inspiration again.

It seems that it was just a chance encounter. The scene under the cherry tree will become one of the most classic scenes in "5 Centimeters per Second". It seems to have a mysterious connection with the previous life, because this scene was a very touching scene in the previous life.

However, in the past two weeks, Luoyang's speed is still terrifyingly fast. Even if his requirements for paintings have become higher, he has only slowed down a little.

On May 14, Luoyang can finally relax, because he has completely completed the creation of "5 Centimeters per Second", three volumes of stories.

Reviewing from beginning to end, looking at the comics he drew, Luoyang is very satisfied, really satisfied. Every picture he drew perfectly inherited Makoto Shinkai's high requirements for pictures. In addition to the character setting, the rendering of all aspects is wonderful to the peak.

In this case...

The originally simple and ordinary character setting has become heavy because of the things it carries!

In addition, it happened to end the day before the submission, which made Luoyang feel relieved. If he hadn't decided to be serious in the middle, I'm afraid Luoyang's speed would be even faster.

However, this project still made Luoyang feel very annoyed. Drawing comics is much more tiring than writing novels.

"I will never draw comics easily in the future. It's too tiring."

Luoyang shook his head repeatedly. If other cartoonists knew that Luoyang felt tired after completing the comics at such a terrible speed, they would be very angry. It's really annoying to compare with others. He has the nerve to complain about being tired at such a terrible speed.

After returning to school, Luoyang went directly to the office of art teacher Zhang Hua and knocked on the door gently.

Zhang Hua was working. When he heard the knock on the door, he looked up and saw Luoyang at the door and said with a smile: "Come in."

"Hello, Teacher Zhang." Luoyang greeted politely, holding the original manuscript of the comic "Five Centimeters per Second" in his hand.

"Luoyang, you are finally here. Is the comic finished?" Zhang Hua looked at the thick notebook in Luoyang's hand and asked with a smile.

Because Luoyang is a famous martial arts writer, all teachers are quite polite to Luoyang, or this is the reality of the world. Even if Luoyang skipped classes countless times, no teacher made any serious criticism.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, the comic has just been created." Luoyang handed the manuscript to Zhang Hua.

After thinking for a while, he said a little embarrassedly: "Because I drew too much, it is equivalent to a medium-length comic."

Zhang Hua took the comic handed over by Luoyang, felt that it was much thicker than that of ordinary people, and laughed: "Luoyang, did you start writing before the competition started?"

Luoyang was stunned for a moment and was about to answer.

Zhang Hua waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's just a competition within the department. There are not so many rigid rules. Just do it roughly."

Luoyang came back to his senses and nodded with a smile. Yes, his creation speed was too fast. Anyone else would think that he had started writing a long time ago.

"But, this is a love comic. What's the name?" Zhang Hua asked curiously.

Luoyang answered, "Five Centimeters per Second, which means the distance that cherry blossoms fall in one second."

"Five centimeters per second?" Zhang Hua paused, then nodded and said, "As expected of a martial arts master, his comics are so poetic."

"Teacher Zhang, you are too kind. I am still a newcomer in the field of comics." Luoyang said politely. It is precisely because of his identity as a martial arts master that Luoyang has to be more humble in many cases.

"Okay, I will hand in the manuscripts of more than a dozen of you tonight. At that time, the editor of "Contemporary Comics" will be the judge in person." Zhang Hua said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

Luoyang thanked him and returned to the classroom.

If nothing unexpected happens, he can just wait patiently to get the credits.
