Chapter 193: My Approach to You Bears Some Purpose

As soon as Emily returned to the classroom for a rest, Sally immediately walked over and pulled her toa corner.

Sally's expression showed her endless admiration towards Emily.

“Emi, it's awesome! You're so great, and your story is very tearful, aww...”

“Yeah, I used to think that I’m a hardhearted person, but I feel that my heart is afflictive after reading it.”

Lois pouted, as if she hadn't recovered from the tragic story.

“You must have no idea about it. At least five to six girls around me cried out. Luckily, I'm not a personwho easily sheds

tears; otherwise, I would cry at the scene too.”

“But Emi, your script is very sophisticated. I can make a rough estimation that it’s a difficult piece, whichis several times

more difficult than others’.”

Joe, Rufus, Terry, Aryan also came to watch the competition.

They had seen the whole script created by Emily just now.

Joe even took a picture and studied it carefully with Aryan.

Emily looked into Aryan’s eyes, “Do you have confidence in it.”

“I'm afraid that I may not be the fastest one.” They could barely finish the pictures for the script withinthree hours. But he

had no idea of his actual speed; it could only be told when they began to draw them.

Rufus was a bit worried, “This script is really awesome. And Emily must have won many extra points inthe morning, but...”

“Are you afraid that you can't refine the lines in time?” Sally pondered for a moment and becameunsure about it.

“Yeah, Emi, have you ever thought about it: Your storyline is very complicated, I'm afraid that we haveto draw 60 frames to

represent it.”

“60 frames... If there's no enough time, Aryan can simplified the drafts, but in that case, I'm afraid that itwould be more

difficult for Rufus to refine the lines.”

What I'm afraid the most is that even if Aryan can give full play of his abilities and finish the drafts intime, I can't refine

them within three hours.”

After two weeks of practice, Rufus had great confidence in his ability to refine the lines.

But great confidence was not equal to blind faith. After all, it was unprecedentedly difficult this time.

Refine the lines of 60 frames within three hours... Oh God, don't torture him in this way!

“What should we do now? The more I ponder about it, the less confidence I have in myself.” Rufusbecame anxious.

He didn't think of it just now. But now, when he thought over it, he finally realized that his workloadwould be very heavy.

“Emi, I really can't.” Rufus was so anxious that his expression changed at the moment.

Emily stared at him and chuckled, “A man cannot say that he can't. Other people would laugh at you ifyou say this.”

“Emi, you still have the mood to joke at him?” Sally had also become anxious.

She shared the same difficulty with Rufus. To color 60 frames within three hours... She couldn't finish it.

She said anxiously, “You know about my ability. With a premise that I concentrate to it to the point that Ieven forget to have

meals or drink water, I can color frames for one and half episode at most.”

“Nonsense! Will you be so devoted yourself to your work that you even forget to have meals or drinkwater?” Emily raised

her eyes heavenward. “If my memory is correct, you would work for half an hour, and play with yourmobile phone for half an hour alternatively, right?”

“I...” Sally blushed as she hadn't expected that Emily would bring up the past at this moment.

She muttered, “Hey, it's nothing. Isn't it normal to play with your phone if you're tired after working for along time and

decide to have a rest? Alternating work with rest produces efficiency, right?”

“I'm afraid that you have no time to have a rest this time.” Emily said it seriously.

“I'll see. Three hours... Oh my, I'll try my best, but...”

Sally put on a long face and looked defeated, “Even if I'll try my best, it's impossible for me to color 60frames within the

time limit.”

“What about 30 frames?”

“It's somehow hopeful if I do it desperately.”

If she didn’t play with her mobile phone and concentrate on the coloring, and if she could finish it at onestretch... Maybe...

Probably... She could finish it in time.

Nevertheless, to work intensely for three consecutive hours, she had no idea about whether if herphysical condition would

allow her to do so.

“The key is that in your script, the scene changes so quickly, so the basic frames cannot be appliedindiscriminately. It's

almost impossible for me and Rufus to finish this task.

In other participants’ scripts, there were basically one or two scenes for each script, so some framescould be applied

repeatedly.

They would have the same coloring and were used in the same scene, so they didn't need to ponderabout the background.

But Emily's script was about a complete story in which there were many scenes, which was veryexcruciating.

“By the way, Can I only color 30 frames?”

“Joe can help you. There's no rule about only one person can engage in the coloring.”

“Oh my, why hadn't I thought of this before?” Lois almost gave herself a slap.

“I haven't had a thorough grasp of the rules. I only realized that even the creation of the script could bea team work when I

saw those participants on the stage.

She was so regretful and sorry when seeing Emily standing on the stage by her own.

Nevertheless, as for the creation of the script, the involvement of too many people would sometimescause troubles.

But as for the refining of lines and coloring, the more people got involved, the better.

“Will Sally be with me during the competition?” Rufus was cheered up as he finally saw a glimmer ofhope.

“No, you have to work alone.”

Considering Sally's physical condition, if she took part in the competition in the morning, then shewould not be able to

compete in the afternoon. She would fall back onto the stage because of the physical exhaustion.

Rufus immediately put on a long face and almost fell onto the ground.

Emily looked at Aryan and Aryan nodded, “I see. I will help him to finish the refining of lines aspossible.”

“How could it be possible? It would be awesome if you can finish the drafts.” Sally glared at Emily,“Emi, are you going to

deprive his life?”

“This is the only way I can think of. Do you have any other ideas?” Emily threw up her hands.

They all become mute. It seemed that this was really the only way out.

Right at this moment, Emily's phone rang.

She took out a phone and saw a strange caller ID.

Originally, she intended to end up the call, but she suddenly that she was a bit familiar with this callerID.

So in the end, she answered the call, “Hello.”

A man’s low voice rumbled from the other end of the phone, “You owe me two hours.”

“What do you mean by creating this story? Are you implying that I have approached you with somepurposes?”

Henry, who was in a private room, waved his hand to gesture the waiters who had just served thedishes to the table to go

out.

He seemed to be in a bad mood and even the smile that was always on his face disappeared.

“Young Master Henry, you've thought too much about it.” Emily replied insouciantly.

She casually searched the name ‘Henry’ on the Internet on the way to meet Henry.

Henry Sharp, the second young master of the Sharp family...

Heh... It was so easy to get this information, but she hadn't searched it until today.

She felt that she herself was so silly. But at the second thought, she felt it reasonable.

Was it necessary to search the information of an unimportant person?

Her indifference made Henry feel uncomfortable as an inexplicable emotion crept in his heart, and hejust wanted to vent it

out.

Nevertheless, he had no idea about what it was.

Maybe it was because he was really in a bad mood today. Therefore, after reading the story and seeingher leave, he also

felt it unbearable to stay in the completion venue and left immediately.

“I haven't planned to make use of you.”

In the end, with a feeling of tightness in his chest, Henry picked up the glass and gulped down thewine.

“But I have to admit that my approach bears some purposes.”
