The weather was a little gloomy, and the rain all night shrouded the entire Zhonghai City in gray fog, which even added a little sadness to the people who lived here.

Night Baby Ning paced around the office irritably, horrified to find that she was unable to work calmly, which was nothing she had ever seen before.

As soon as she sat down and wanted to work seriously, her brain didn't seem to listen to commands. The more Night Baby Ning wanted to concentrate, the more difficult it was to focus, and his thoughts drifted away from time to time, fluttering and not knowing where to fall.

Moreover, she was surprised to find that she was thinking about several men at the same time, one moment was Pet Tiange, one moment was Zhou Yang, one moment was Lin Xingyuan, and one moment was Luan Chi. The four of them spun back and forth in their minds like marquees, before and after.

"Smack!"

Night Infant Ning snapped the notebook in front of her and went straight to the empty conference room.

She panted and pushed the door in, opened the display case, and took out her proud work from the inside, that is, the award-winning work that Pet Tiange recognized as "You" at that time.

Put it in the handbag and put it away, Ye Ying Ning said hello to Su Qingchi and left the company quickly.

She is like a fish that has been ashore for a long time and is about to dry up to death, desperately needing to swim back to the sea to absorb nutrients and get a new life.

For designers, this "sea" is actually the real world in which the city itself is located.

Ye Ying Ning gave up driving, and instead chose to hold one, wandering aimlessly on the street with an umbrella, stopping at any time and continuing to move forward at any time.

"You have a natural sense of jewelry, and she has a terrible instinct for fashion trends. ”

This is the unanimous praise given by the jury when she won the Newcomer Award that year. However, now, these beautiful words seem to have become an invisible shackle, firmly binding her, but making people stagnant.

That sentence is really true, people, in fact, the most difficult to surpass is not the opponent, but themselves.

In the afternoon, the temperature plummeted, and the light rain that had a tendency to gradually stop suddenly became heavier and heavier again, and Night Baby Ning ran quickly to the side of the road, and the muddy water splashed her pants were already wet.

"Let's find a place to shelter first, it's raining too much. ”

She bent down and dusted herself, muttering to herself, and when she looked up, she happened to see a small red building on the corner of the street, with a total of five floors. The vaulted roof of the topmost layer is made of mountain flowers, and the small pieces of stained glass form a whole square window facing the street, and the window is hung with a light with a large "cafe" written on it, which is flickering in the rain.

Ye Ying Ning put away the umbrella, pushed the door and walked in, and a gust of wind chimes rang softly.

Perhaps because of the weekdays, there are very few people in the Red Mansion, the first floor is an indoor garden, the second, third and fourth floors are full of exhibitions of different styles, and there are some strange trinkets, the labels indicate that they come from all over the world, and most of them have crossed the ocean to come to China.

These aroused the strong interest of Ye Yingning, because she could not take pictures, she had to use her eyes to try to capture every detail, among which the most attractive to her were more than 20 advertising posters of old Shanghai, China.

Those soft and charming women appeared vividly in front of them, although they had been separated by more than half a century, they did not show any obsolescence and old-fashionedness, as if they could pass through the barriers of time and space, and they were within reach.

She stood in front of one of the posters for a long time, motionless, and her mind seemed to be flooded with countless beautiful and magnificent images, realistic and gorgeous.

"Ahh

Finally, Night Baby Ning couldn't help but cover her nose and sneeze fiercely. She felt cold at this point, so she immediately grabbed her things, wrapped herself tightly in a thin beige cardigan, and walked up the slightly cramped wooden staircase to the coffee house on the top floor.

As soon as she stepped on it, Ye Ying Ning couldn't help but feel that today was really her own luckyday - the tone of the café's décor was the big red that she had recently been crazy infatuated with, perhaps because Pet Tiange had given her the perfect ruby as a creative element, Ye Ying Ning thought about it and still planned to use red as the main color of this entry.

I believe that for the jury, which is mostly Western, it is also a joy to see more pure Chinese elements in the competition of China Shipping.

The delicate inlaid chandelier swayed overhead, and the owner, a young girl in her early twenties, had a very good latte art technique, and the walls were plastered with her creations.

Night Baby Ning admired for a moment, but still only ordered a glass of Espresso, she pointed to her temple, smiled and joked, "I need an espresso to shoot me in the head." ”

She picked a corner, sunk herself into a red velvet chair, stepped on her feet, held a sketchbook, and occasionally captured the flashes of inspiration in her mind to the tip of the pen, and hurriedly sketched.

Whenever she encounters an important work, she refuses to draw on the computer, insists on hand-drawing, and every detail will be tirelessly revised over and over again until it is presented to a perfect degree.

It is precisely because of this that there are very few works of "Quiet", and each one has taken too much effort, like an infatuated girl who has a heart-rending love, and is reluctant to look back at the end.

The warm light illuminated her face little by little, and the temperature in the coffee room was moderate, which quickly dried the dampness of her trouser legs.

After hastily sketching out the fleeting inspiration in his mind, Ye Ying Ning slowly moved his stiff neck, picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee.

Her position was facing away from the stairs, and she could only hear a "creaking" as if a new guest had come up.

The man seemed to go straight to the bar to order, very quiet, not breaking the original quiet and tranquility here, Ye Ying Ning smiled, spread out the sketchbook and continued to revise.

Just as she was concentrating on her work again, there was suddenly a piece of miscellaneous fruit on the table in front of her.

"Drinking coffee on an empty stomach hurts the stomach and shrinks women's cups. ”

There was a joking voice overhead, and then, without even asking if it was okay, the man sat down on the empty seat opposite Ye Ying Ning.

She was startled, the glasses on the bridge of her nose slipped down a little, Ye Ying Ning hurriedly took them off, slapped them on the table, and looked around a few times, then lowered her voice and said angrily: "You actually follow me?!"

Lin Xingyuan put his hand on the arm of the seat, was stunned when he heard the words, and then grinned lightly and shook his head.

"Your self-confidence is really bursting, Zhonghai is so big, with a population of more than 20 million, what am I staring at you for?"

His rhetorical question made Ye Ying Ning unable to answer for a while, but she felt that it was too coincidental to meet here.

"Eat, talk as you eat. ”

Lin Xingyuan pushed the cake over, looked at her and said, "I ordered it randomly, I don't know if you like it or not." ”

Night Infant Ning picked up the small silver spoon and poked the red raspberries and blueberries on the top, and her heart was alarmed.

Was this a temptation, or did he guess something?!

Because Napoleon is her favorite dessert, but that she is Ye Yingning.

This idea was dispelled by her in an instant, after all, the probability of such a thing as "borrowing a corpse to return the soul" in real society is simply too low and too low for any materialist to believe it.

"It's okay, the coffee is bitter, this sweet and sour, just enough to neutralize it. ”

Night Baby Ning quietly stuffed a blueberry into her mouth and replied casually.

"I really came up by chance, the first floor is the garden, Lan An said that she likes the flowers of this house, and I came to pay the deposit for the one I chose on the day of the engagement. ”

Lin Xingyuan waited for her to swallow before he explained softly, while secretly observing her expression after hearing the news.
