"Hello, I'm Lin Feng."
"Nice to meet you, Xiao Zhu."
"But when you greet people in the future, it's best to look up and make eye contact. Girls should be more confident; that's how you'll improve."
When Pang Hu brought Xiao Zhu over to introduce her to Lin Feng, Lin Feng had a general idea of what Pang Hu was thinking.
Because he suddenly remembered that Pang Hu had come to him before at school because of his sister, Xiao Zhu.
So now, seeing that Xiao Zhu was still not very confident, Lin Feng instinctively smiled and reminded her.
"Yes, sor… Sorry, I'll pay attention next time…!"
Perhaps because it was the first time she'd seen her idol, even though Lin Feng wasn't much older than Xiao Zhu, she was still a little nervous.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Zhu shyly glanced up at him before quickly lowering her head again.
Lin Feng shook his head slightly. The long-term lack of confidence had ingrained in this girl a habit of retreating halfway before even starting anything.
It certainly wouldn't be easy to correct her all at once.
"Haha, Lin Feng is right, Xiao Zhu, you really need to pay attention to this in the future."
"But Lin Feng, I brought Xiao Zhu over to visit today because there's something else I want to ask you for."
Pang Hu, speaking to his sister Xiao Zhu in the tone of an older brother, had just finished his sentence.
Then, turning to Lin Feng and clasping his hands together with a smile, he made his request.
"Tell me, what is it that made you come visit?"
Seeing Pang Hu's pleading expression, Lin Feng smiled and said, "No problem."
After the incident with the Wind Messenger, Lin Feng's bond with Pang Hu and the others had deepened.
Because Pang Hu considered Lin Feng a friend, he brought Xiao Zhu over to ask for his help.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done this if their relationship hadn't reached a certain level of closeness.
"Hehe, that's great. Actually, I came today to ask you to take a look at the manga Xiao Zhu drew. If you could give her some advice, that would be even better."
Hearing that Lin Feng had agreed to his request, Pang Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although asking Lin Feng to look at Xiao Zhu's manga didn't seem like a big deal, Pang Hu wouldn't have known what to do if Lin Feng had refused.
After all, Lin Feng wasn't obligated to help Xiao Zhu with her manga. It was only out of their friendship as classmates that he was willing to help Pang Hu.
"No problem. Since that's the case, come on in and have a seat. I don't have anything to do later, and I can take a look at Xiao Zhu's drafts."
Lin Feng smiled slightly and invited Pang Hu and the others.
Regardless, since Pang Hu had brought Xiao Zhu over, Lin Feng couldn't just let them leave.
They had pretty much finished eating, and they didn't have anything else to do tonight. Helping Xiao Zhu look at her drafts was no problem.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony~!"
As Pang Hu, Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Fu entered the house one after the other, Lin Feng and Manyue Meiyezi, who were standing at the door, exchanged a glance.
"Are they your classmates, and Shizuka's?"
Manyue Meiyezi looked back at Pang Hu and Xiao Fu, who had gone in and were curiously interacting with Chachawan, and asked Lin Feng.
"Yeah, they're some of the closer classmates I have."
Lin Feng nodded and looked back.
Besides Pang Hu and Xiao Fu, who were the more lively and active ones, messing around with the cat, Xiao Zhu was much shyer. She sat alone, quietly, with her head lowered on the living room sofa.
It was as if she was just about to write the words, I'm not confident, I'm a little apprehensive, on her face.
Lin Feng didn't have a great solution for this at the moment. He could only wait to see Xiao Zhu's Manga/Comic later and then try to find a way to gently encourage her from another angle.
"But, your two classmates are pretty interesting."
Manyue Meiyezi couldn't help but giggle softly when she thought about the scene of Pang Hu beating up Xiao Fu just now.
After she finished speaking, she went to the tea room to prepare tea for Pang Hu, Xiao Fu, and Xiao Zhu.
In Japan, it's customary for hosts to offer tea to guests as a sign of respect and hospitality.
Manyue Meiyezi readily helped Lin Feng with these tasks, indicating she was gradually ceasing to see herself as a guest in his home.
"Hello, here's freshly brewed tea. Please enjoy."
Holding a tray with three steaming cups of tea, Manyue Meiyezi placed them on the coffee table in front of Pang Hu, Xiao Fu, and Xiao Zhu.
"Arigato gozaimasu!"
In response to Manyue Meiyezi's warm welcome, Pang Hu, Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Fu all thanked her in unison.
"You're welcome. You're Lin Feng's classmates, right? I forgot to introduce myself earlier, I'm so sorry."
"My name is Manyue Meiyezi. You can just call me Meiyezi. I'm currently working as an Intern Editor at Yourong Society, and I'm also Lin Feng's Responsible Editor, in charge of his daily manga/comic submissions."
Seeing that Pang Hu and Xiao Fu, along with the others, seemed puzzled by her identity, Manyue Meiyezi smiled and introduced herself directly.
"So that's how it is...!"
After learning Manyue Meiyezi's identity, Pang Hu and Xiao Fu finally understood why there was a young and beautiful girl at Lin Feng's house.
Turns out she was his Responsible Editor.
That explained everything. After all, a Responsible Editor did, in a way, need to have relatively close contact and communication with the authors under their charge.
This was also to help resolve any problems these authors might encounter in their lives, and then ensure they submitted their manuscripts on time.
Looks like they really came at the right time today.
Since Lin Feng's Responsible Editor was here, after Lin Feng looked over Xiao Zhu's artwork, they could ask the editor, Manyue Meiyezi, for some advice. They believed this would help Xiao Zhu regain her confidence.
To say the least, Pang Hu really doted on his younger sister.
And in Pang Hu's opinion, the Manga/Comic his sister drew was actually pretty good; it was just that she lacked confidence.
What she needed right now was someone to affirm her work. If Lin Feng, who had already achieved great success in the Manga/Comic field, could evaluate Xiao Zhu's work, it would definitely boost her confidence considerably.
