Chen Kexin was stunned as she watched Gu Shishi drew.
As a wealthy young miss who never needed to worry about her allowances, Apple pencil, iPad Pro, the newest Apple phone were nothing new to her. She had played with all of them in the past.
The Apple pen allowed one to draw directly on the iPad and was almost as good as a dedicated drawing tablet.
She, too, had bought and tried them out when it came out.
That lasted for but a few days before she gave up on it. Her skills remained at the level of drawing stick figures.
With her awful skills, it didn’t matter what she was drawing with.
But, looking at Gu Shishi today, she was… masterful!
Just a few strokes and a cute emoji was born under her pen!
And it looked cuter than any emoji that she had saved.
“Boss, do you think you can send me a copy of that too so I can add it to my collection?”
Chen Kexin couldn’t help but rubbed her hands together.
Who didn’t use emoji when chatting with their girlfriends?
And she could also use some when flirting with boys too.
Not to mention her grandma was a fiend for emojis as well and would ask her for new ones from time to time so she could show them off in her old ladies groups.
“Eh? You like this one?”
Gu Shishi was a little surprised.
Then she shook her head.
“Not this one.”
Chen Kexin wanted to cry. She had said in the past that there was only business transactions between Gu Shishi and herself.
In critical moments like this, their friendship was just not quite there yet!
“I can draw you a different one if you want,” said Gu Shishi immediately after that.
“This one is for my own use only.”
This one is dedicated to appeasing the man at home.
Chen Kexin’s eyes lit up. “You will draw me new ones? Will that be too much trouble? I can pay you.”
She wanted to smack herself right after she had said that.
How did she bring up money again? What she needed to do was to work on their friendship.
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, didn’t really care about 1 yuan or 2.
Drawing little emojis were like taking a break and entertainment to her.
“What kind would you like?”
Chen Kexin’s eyes lit up. “How about cute dragons? That’s my [Chinese] zodiac and my grandma one is rabbit.”
Gu Shishi raised her brows.
With her speed, Gu Shishi had already drawn a bunch before she arrived at the Chen’s.
Rabbit drinking milk tea. Rabbit eating noodles. Rabbit lazing around. Rabbit scribbling in a notebook. Rabbit wearing bifocal lens. Rabbit with baby rabbits…
Those based what Old Mrs. Chen’s preference on her alias of “Happy Chubster”.
As for Chen Kexin, Gu Shishi glanced over at her a couple of times.
And drew a bunch of commonly used emojis.
All sorts of chubby dragon babies, making cute, whining, rolling on the floor, etc.
There were 12 in each set.
“Okay. This should do for now.”
Gu Shishi flung her wrists a few times.
The Apple pen was still a little heavy and her wrist got sore after a little while.
Chen Kexin was already happy beyond words.
[Beed! Chen Kexin fondness had increased!]
When they arrived at the Chen’s, she had already showed them off in her friend’s circle and various chat groups.
[MeowMeow: My very own emojis. No stealing. I am just showing them to you.]
She received a lot of comments quickly.
“Cute. Please share.”
“Already downloaded.”
“Borrowing.”
There were all sorts of comments.
As they have already arrived at the Chen’s front door, Chen Kexin didn’t have time to chat with her friends.
Tidying her bangs, she brought Gu Shishi with her respectfully.
During the car ride of less than one hour, Gu Shishi’s status had gone up even more in her eyes.
Her skills were masterful, she had a good aesthetic sense, and she was down to the earth!
Who’d have thought that these emojis were drawn by an ink painting guru?
Chen Kexin showed her into the house happily. “Don’t you worry. Even if my grandma finds out that you are the Ink Painting Guru, she will for sure keep your secret for you.”
