Chapter 13 (Beginning of the World+skip)
In the vast heaven and earth, the rolling snow in the sky, like the white fluff shaken off by a giant beast, obscured the sight one after another. The snow-capped world as far as the eye can see, the continuous glaciers, like the surging and howling white waves, the vast and solemn snow peaks like the sharp teeth of monsters bite the ends of heaven and earth together, and the horizon is forever sealed under the snow-white ice.
The sky was obscured by thick and overcast clouds, and it was muddy and dreary. The light seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust, and it was chaotic to sprinkle on the earth, clouding the whole world.
The chaotic wind and snow, mixed with biting frost, screamed one after another like a wolf's howl in the empty world.
In the chaotic snow, a tall and slender figure proudly stands independent of the wind and snow, like a god.
The bitter cold wind blew the silver-white hood off his head, revealing a delicate, deep silhouette. His eyebrows were like sword blades, his eyes were like thunder, and under the thick and narrow eyelashes like inky crow feathers, the depths of obsidian eyes swept a storm more violent than the wind and snow, and his face looked as delicate as ice sculptures in the half-light and half-dark light, but at the same time, there was also a sense of indifference, and his expression was colder than the bitter cold of deep winter. The inky robe, inlaid with rich silver filigree and platinum trim, was blown by the wind, and the garment inside floated in the air in a slow and wonderful way, like a thin cloud, setting him off like a god.
He calmly held the two-person tall giant sword, and the tip of the sword had all pierced into the body of a beautiful girl. The girl's expression was only pale, and her pupils spread endlessly, hollow and hollow. Whispered softly: "For...... What ......"
As soon as the light voice was blurted out, it was immediately blown away by the strong wind.
The man stared coldly at the girl whose vitality was gradually disappearing, and as soon as his arm was retracted, the giant sword was instantly withdrawn from the slender body, and a blood mist suddenly burst out, dyeing all the snowflakes around the girl into blood red. The moment before the viscous blood fell on the ice, it was frozen into a solid form, shattered like a ragingly burning ruby.
Ignoring the tragic situation of the girl falling to the ground, the man turned around indifferently and waved his hand casually, and the black-gold flames quickly engulfed the girl, and the figure that left without a trace of hesitation.
The camera pulls back, and the glacier cliffs on both sides of the sky gradually tighten and narrow in front of them, and at the far end of the world ahead, the glacier cliffs merge together, like a dark bottomless cave, not knowing where it leads.
The snowflakes that rolled between the heavens and the earth seemed to sweep them all, blowing and destroying them violently, and then disappearing into a dead silence.
It seems like the end of a qiē, and it is like the beginning of the chaos of heaven and earth......
"Ka!" shouted as the director shouted, and everyone retracted from the play.
For the situation of being shocked countless times by Tsuruga Ren's acting skills, everyone on the set seems to have gotten used to it. Everyone took a deep breath and then went back to everyone to pack their things.
The director, who has always been known for scolding actors and looking for nothing to do, waved his hand with a smile at this time: "Call it a day!"
Everyone present sighed again, the scene with the god of Tsuruga Ren is cool, no stuck, no dragging, not even pretending to be a big name, except for a little cold and not like a person, it is simply impeccable.
Tsuruga stepped down from the makeshift set, spoke a few words to the director, and then agreed to attend the finale party later before leaving for the break room.
When Tsuruga Ren, who had changed into a casual attire, walked out again, Koichi was already standing at the door, waiting there with an iced coffee. After handing over the coffee, he followed Tsuruga Ren to the parking lot, "Lian, the bodyguard called just now and said that they went to pick up the airport and didn't see anyone. ”
Tsuruga didn't say anything, he threw the car keys to Koichi, drove himself to the back, and said for a while, "I'll take care of it, don't worry." ”
Then, ignoring Koichi's next words, he leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes.
Koichi, who was still nagging, was in the middle of resting, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Tsuruga Ren's complete silence in the rearview mirror. Damn it, it's not his business, why is he so worried! Then again, if his younger brother, whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 years, came back from abroad, maybe he wouldn't know what to do, especially since this younger brother is still a half-brother. Thinking about Tsuruga Lian, she is pitiful enough, she has never been cared for by her father, and the few phone calls in the past few years are to take care of the younger brother who came out of nowhere, if it was him, he would have been angry a long time ago!
Sighing again, Koichi felt that it didn't make much use to think about it, so it was better to deal with the announcement activities and reduce the burden on Lian. As for the younger brother who just arrived at the place and didn't see anyone, I hope he can not bother Lian too much. Otherwise, no matter how majestic Lian's father was, it would not change the fact that he was invited back.
Koichi drove the car to its lowest gear and tried to be smooth. Lian has been filming for three days in a row, and there is an interview in the afternoon, and if he doesn't take a break, Xingyi is really afraid that he will fall.
..................
After sighing 75 times, Ritsu Onodera began his 76th sigh today. He followed the front desk lady to the elevator with a sad face, but he was secretly complaining in his heart - obviously he had been preparing for a long time, worked hard, defeated a group of competitors, and was about to show his strength, but he was actually notified to report to the girl's manga!, he had already made it clear during the interview that his intention was to be in the literary and artistic department, because he was also the editor in charge of literature and art in the previous publishing house, but why is it different from what was written in the contract!
He also asked, is it the so-called cold treatment to let a man be in charge of the girl man. If you decide that his ability is not enough, it is good to go, there is no need to stay and show jokes. However, the answer I received was, "No, although it used to be a burden for the publishing house, but the current editor-in-chief has achieved the first place in the publishing department within a year after taking office, and before that, he won the president's award." And oh," said the young lady who led the way, smiling obsessively, and the golden one was as gorgeous as the sun, "The editors are all good men in a hundred, and the female members are eyeing it!"
Are they all men?Seeing that Miss Leadway didn't have a trace of false eyes, Onodera Ritsu finally followed her upstairs and went to the department where the girl was located.
After a period of confusion, Miss Leadway gave a few perfunctory words and ran away irresponsibly. He had no choice but to rely on the signs, find an editing studio, and walk in.
Messy sample books were everywhere, and if it weren't for the plastic seals on the surface, he wondered if the pages would have been trampled by passers-by. The indistinguishable order, the clips that are thrown on the armrests of the sofa one by one, the paper balls and fast food boxes piled up outside the trash cans that have not been emptied for days, and the foul smell that comes to the face, like the smell of a sports room where shoes and other items are stored. What shocked Onodera even more was the motionless 'dead body' lying on the desk.
The whole office is more like a morgue after it has been vandalized.
After the guidance of a 'dead corpse' who was still conscious, he finally found the editor-in-chief of the girl's comic, a young man who was spread out on a swivel chair and had a girl's comic book covered on his face. He lifted his slender legs onto the edge of the table and pulled the comics with one hand. The face is as pale as white paper, and the eyelids have a distinct blue-gray color, which is a symptom of frequent late nights. He put on black-framed eyes, opened them decadently, and looked impatiently at Ritsu Onodera with a face full of disbelief, "I'm so annoyed that I heard it once." ”
The face of a decadent uncle completely breaks Onodera Ritsu's inference that the editor is rigorous and shrewd.
After asking a few questions, Takano Masamune squinted at the young man in front of him, and said critically and helplessly: "It can't be used at all!"
Before Onodera Ritsu could attack, the staff on the side put down the phone, turned his head and said, "Editor-in-chief, the printing agency has come to urge the manuscript again." ”
Masamune Takano stood up and walked out, "Follow me, newcomer." ”
Onodera Ritsu walked out in a daze, and it took him a long time to react: "Are we going to urge the manuscript?" After receiving an affirmative answer, he began to ask again, "But why are you urging it? Isn't this kind of thing left to the editor who is in charge of the writer below? Moreover, most writers have a contract, and if they don't deliver the manuscript on time, they will delay the submission time, and he will be responsible for it." ”
"If someone else's urging has an effect, of course I won't bother myself. If the contract had been valid for him, it wouldn't have been delayed until all the other writers' manuscripts had been arranged and his place would be blank. The amount of liquidated damages is not enough to buy a toilet in his house. Takano Masamune led Onodera Ritsu into the elevator, pressed the button on the first floor, and leaned against the cold wall with his arms crossed, "He has just signed a contract, and there are no spare editors, and the department has not yet allocated him the corresponding editors." ”
"When will it be released?" asked Ritsu Onodera's professional inertia as she immediately revealed herself.
"The day after tomorrow. ”
"What? You should have gone sooner!"
"He's abroad. It was funny to see Onodera Ritsu's mouth open wide and his face full of shock, so he added, "I'm going back to China today, and we're rushing over now, we should be able to block him." ”
The corners of Onodera's mouth twitched and followed the man out of the elevator, maybe it was a mistake for him to enter the girl's manga!
The two men traveled around most of the city for several hours and finally reached the airport. Masamune Takano opened the car door, put one hand in his pocket and asked, "Do you know where there is a dessert house near here?"
Although I don't know why Masamune Takano asked, Ritsu Onodera answered truthfully, "Turn left and turn the second door." ”
At this time, there were not many people in the dessert house, and among the scattered customers, Takano Masamune only glanced at it a few times, and first walked towards a teenager with a gray peaked cap.
The young man was eating a chocolate brioche with his head down, and when he saw that it was dark, he didn't even raise it and said, "If you are sent by the old man, call him and say that I am not a child, and I know how to go to the city center, and I don't need others to send me hand in hand." If you were sent by my brother, tell him that he was busy with his own work, and I wouldn't make trouble for him. If you're sent by the publisher, then we don't have much to talk about. ”
Ritsu Onodera has never seen anyone who can chat with strangers like this, but then again, how many people are looking for this young man!
"Why isn't there anything to talk about?" Masamune Takano pulled out his chair and sat down.
Only then did the boy raise his head, and when Onodera Ritsu saw his face clearly, he couldn't help but gasp, and almost exclaimed.
The young man's appearance is unusually handsome, clean and elegant. The most special thing is a pair of dark golden eyes, clear and moist, the tips of the eyes are slightly raised, and the narrow and thick eyelashes cast two shadows in the shape of a moon. Just bend the corners of your mouth slightly, and it will be as brilliant as the morning sun.
"Because, of course, there is no manuscript. The boy blinked and smiled mischievously.
If it weren't for Masamune Takano sitting on the side, Onodera Ritsu almost jumped up, grabbed the boy by the collar and unwrapped his brain to see what was inside.
"Why don't you paint?"
"I didn't have inspiration, kissing or anything, I didn't experience how it was possible to draw a picture. The boy shrugged indifferently.
Masamune Takano looked at the boy in silence, pushed away the chair and stood up, "Got it, I'll show you the example, you look for the feeling." ”
Ritsu Onodera on the side hurriedly stood up, "But our materials are in the editorial department, so won't it be too late to get them now?" ”
Without answering Ritsu Onodera's words, Masamune Takano took off his glasses and walked over to Ritsu Onodera who didn't know why, and continued, "The angle of seeing the chin from here is a little provocative. ”
"Excuse me......" Before Ritsu Onodera could finish speaking, Masamune Takano took his hand, pushed him against the beige wall, lifted his chin, and kissed him.
"Hmm......" Ritsu Onodera's eyes widened, his eyes were shocked, and he stood there stunned until Masamune Takano let go.
The people in the dessert house all looked over, and their eyes were surprised, disdainful, confused, and angry, but on the contrary, the young man looked at it with relish and a deep smile on his face.
Regardless of Ritsu Onodera's half-leaning against the wall, unable to extricate himself, Masamune Takano put on his glasses and asked, "Is it okay?"
The boy nodded.
"Well, in the future, Onodera Ritsu will be your editor. Takano Masamune said decisively, turning around without looking back, "He will accompany you back to finish the manuscript in a while, don't think about running away, I will contact your brother at any time, he may be happy to take you back as soon as possible." ”
Looking at the back of Takano Masamune gradually moving away, and looking at Onodera Ritsu, who was dejected and full of resentment after receiving the blow, the young man raised his delicate jaw, blinked his eyes slyly, and the smart smile between his eyebrows suddenly made countless people lose their minds: "Please advise, my name is Izawa." ”
