When Qi Dai arrived at the gate of the Ninth Middle School in the morning, Xu Yuanshan was already waiting there.

Winter in the south comes late, but as long as it comes, it must be wet and cold, compared to the winter in the north, especially in the morning when the air is a little foggy, and a thin layer of moisture can be clearly seen on the hair after walking for a while.

When most people began to wear thick coats, Xu Yuanshan still wore a T-shirt and a thin jacket, as if it would not be cold.

Qi Dai approached and saw that his hands holding the word book were already cold.

Immediately, he was a little angry, angry that Xu Yuanshan would not take care of himself, angry that his relatives did not treat him well enough, and even more angry that he was powerless.

"You're here." Xu Yuanshan raised his head and was about to memorize the words he had just memorized when he saw Qi Dai, with a little joy in his eyes.

Qi Dai nodded.

Xu Yuanshan glanced at her and asked cautiously, "Did something happen?" ”

Qi Dai paused and said depressedly: "Is it obvious?" ”

Xu Yuanshan said honestly: "It's a little. ”

Qi Dai sighed: "I want to give a gift to a friend, but I don't know what reason to find." ”

Xu Yuanshan was silent for a few moments and said, "I don't know either. He only needs Qi Dai as a friend, and he has never thought about giving gifts before.

Qi Dai didn't think that he could really help think of a reason, so he didn't say this anymore, "Let's go." ”

"Oh." Xu Yuanshan put the vocabulary book into his schoolbag and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Qi Dai didn't answer immediately when she thought about something, so she heard Xu Yuanshan ask again: "Are you going to buy a gift for that friend of yours?" ”

Qi Dai said no, "I haven't thought about what to send yet, let's go and work on the other first." ”

Xu Yuanshan actually wanted to ask who he wanted to give, but there was privacy between friends, and too many questions should not be asked, which annoyed people.

Qi Dai and Xu Yuanshan took the bus directly to the magazine at the school gate, and on the way, they didn't forget to take out the cartoons they brought to Xu Yuanshan to enjoy: "What do you think of this?" ”

This is similar to the simple comic drawn to Xu Yuanshan, but there is a clear difference - the character in front of him is richer, and it also adds color, as well as the story scene.

The painting was not long, Xu Yuanshan quickly finished reading it, and asked Qi Dai again: "What about the back?" ”

Qi Dai touched her nose and was a little embarrassed, "I haven't finished painting yet." ”

The story is about the protagonist's lifelong dedication to scientific research, fame and fortune, and envy of everyone, but he confided in his most proud protégé when he was dying that everyone thought he had a good life in his life, but he was not as bright and upright as he appeared to be. He regretted not going to that appointment at the age of eighteen. If he could, he wanted to go back to eighteen, find the girl, and hold hands until he was old.

Later, the protégé lived up to his trust, researched the time machine, and sent the protagonist back to the year he was eighteen years old......

The follow-up is to tell the story of time back.

The matter of rebirth is very mysterious, and people don't feel anything about it in the story, but if it happens to the people around it, it may be different.

Qi Dai couldn't tell anyone about it, so she wanted to tell it in the form of storytelling.

She didn't know if the rebirth story was popular now, so she asked Xu Yuanshan: "What do you think?" ”

Xu Yuanshan commented very seriously: "The story is very good, the painting is also very good, and it can arouse people's curiosity." ”

Even though she knew that she had drawn well, when she heard Xu Yuanshan's such a loyal praise, Qi Dai couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth proudly, and she couldn't wait to grow another tail and it.

She took out the illustration she drew yesterday and was ready to submit from her bag, "Look at this one again, what do you think?" If I submit it to a magazine, is there any chance of being selected? ”

"Contribution?" Xu Yuanshan was looking at the painting carefully, and he thought that he had heard it wrong.

But Qi Dai told him in actual language - no.

She nodded seriously and said, "Yes." I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I'm okay at drawing, but now that I've decided not to go the art student route, it's a pity that this talent will probably be wasted. So using my spare time to draw illustrations without wasting my talent and making money would kill two birds with one stone. ”

After listening to her analysis, Xu Yuanshan felt that it was very reasonable.

"What about you?" Qi Dai took the opportunity to ask him, "Have you ever thought that your writing is so good and you also submit a few stories?" ”

It's no wonder that Qi Dai has gone to such great lengths, but she didn't see him take any action after mentioning it to Xu Yuanshan last time, she didn't know if Xu Yuanshan had gotten her meaning, so she could only make another straight ball.

Of course, Xu Yuanshan also thought about it, but he thought about it a lot, and he thought about the follow-up matters such as the object of submission, the way of submission, and how long it would take to have results.

The fact is that his existing funds do not support him to do this kind of thing that does not know when it will come to fruition, so he gave up the way of submission.

Xu Yuanshan didn't dare to look at Qi Dai, lowered his head, and unconsciously picked his two hands, and only replied in a humming voice after a while: "I can't do it." ”

I didn't say I didn't want to, I just said no.

Qi Dai took his hand a little anxiously, helpless and distressed, but the words that came out were a little hateful, "Why not?" How can a man say no?! ”

Xu Yuanshan's whole body froze suddenly, the hand that held him was warm and soft, his face and ears were hot, and he didn't hear anything she said.

But Qi Dai didn't think much about it, and said earnestly there: "And you don't say you can't without trying, don't you think it's even worse than failing after trying?" ”

"I, I, I ......" Xu Yuanshan's mind was very confused, and he couldn't turn a corner for a while, I don't know if it was because he was suddenly held by his hand, or because he felt that Qi Dai's proposal was unlikely.

But Qi Dai was still looking at him......

At this time, someone behind the two of them snorted.

Qi Dai and Xu Yuanshan turned their heads at the same time.

Behind him was a man in a suit and leather shoes, about twenty-five or sixteen, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, waxed hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, high forehead and straight nose, wheat-colored skin, handsome and manly, not at all like a person who could take the bus.

The man was not embarrassed to see that he had overheard and was discovered, but generously took out a business card from his inner pocket and handed it to Qi Dai, who obviously had an idea, "Hello two little classmates, I am Zhou Jun, the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine." ”

Is it such a coincidence?

Qi Dai and Xu Yuanshan glanced at each other.

In the morning, there are fewer people in general, and after they get on the bus, they sit in the two empty seats in the back row, and then they have been chatting, not paying attention to whether there are people sitting behind them or who are sitting.

And the business card in his hand and the person in front of him are saying, it's such a coincidence.

Zhou Jun looked at Xu Yuanshan again: "Can you show me this painting in your hand?" ”

Xu Yuanshan looked at Qi Dai.

Qi Dai said, "Yes." And waiting for the evaluation of the professionals.

It's not that she trusts people easily, but the place she is going to today is Time Magazine, and she also knows that the editor-in-chief of Times is indeed called Zhou Jun, and even Zhou Jun is the largest shareholder of Time.

In her last life, she had learned about the development history of the times before returning to Yunshi, and she had seen Zhou Jun's photos, and she was much more mature than now, but her facial features had basically not changed.

But Xu Yuanshan didn't know, he only saw Qi Dai seeing Zhou Jun, and when he heard Zhou Jun's name, both eyes lit up.

He quietly held Qi Dai's hand with his backhand and pinched her quietly, wanting Qi Dai not to trust others so easily.

Only then did Qi Dai react, she and Xu Yuanshan actually held hands!

It's been pulling for a long time!

Qi Dai's resistance to Xu Yuanshan has always been zero, since the previous life, it's okay not to pay attention, once she notices, she has a feeling of being shocked, her whole body is numb, and her heart is itchy.

Then she blushed under Xu Yuanshan's attention......

It's getting more and more popular!

Xu Yuanshan's expression gradually became solemn, why did Qi Dai look at Zhou Jun and blush?

Zhou Jun is indeed good-looking, but he is not young, does Qi Dai like uncle-type boys?

Xu Yuanshan fell into deep thought.

"Did you learn to draw when you were a child?" Zhou Jun had already chatted with Qi Dai here, he just glanced at it casually, and now he felt even more satisfied when he looked closely.

"Yes." Qi Dai's face was flushed, and she replied calmly with a straight face.

Zhou Jun smiled and said: "I'm very interested in your paintings, I just heard you say that you want to submit, are you interested in trying it in the times?" ”

Qi Dai was so happy in her heart that she still pretended to be calm on her face, and after thinking for two seconds, she agreed: "Can I go to your company to have a look?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhou Jun agreed without hesitation.

Xu Yuanshan was anxious, grabbed Qi Dai's hand desperately, and whispered to Qi Dai's ear: "Let's take a look, why did the editor-in-chief of Times come to take the bus?" And this person looks very unreliable! ”

This is probably the first time Xu Yuanshan has complained about someone head-on.

His breathing and speaking sound seemed to be deliberately blowing on Qi Dai's ears, which made her ears itch, and half of her face burned, she tried her best to stay calm, and wanted to hide, but she was afraid that Xu Yuanshan would misunderstand, so she replied in a bad voice: "It's okay, anyway, we are also going to the times, just together, the Times Building is there, and it won't deceive." "It's an opportunity like this.

Xu Yuanshan couldn't help blushing.

Qi Dai snickered.

Behind him, Zhou Jun continued to peek at the little couple in front of him with great interest, feeling that it was really right to take the bus today.

In this way, the three of them got off the bus at the Times Building.

Qi Dai wanted to help Xu Yuanshan submit his manuscript as soon as possible to earn manuscript fees, so she has been close to Zhou Juntao.

Xu Yuanshan looked at the two people who were talking happily next to him, and he felt very uncomfortable, he felt that Zhou Jun, who was smiling and talking, looked like a wolf grandmother with bad intentions.

He glared at Zhou Jun viciously when Qi Dai was not paying attention, and planned him to hate him in his heart.

This is the first person he hated when he grew so big! He thought there was nothing more annoying than this man!

At this time, he didn't know that this kind of emotion called hating was actually called jealousy, and in his later life, there were still many people who were so "hated".
