Shen Yin deleted all the contact information related to Wang Mengliang and Shen Yin, she changed her mobile phone and mobile phone number again, and started a new life. Although the mobile phone her mother gave her was still with Wang Mengliang, she was too embarrassed to ask him.

The December season is fast approaching, and the work in the unit is even busier. Since she had called Wang Mengliang that day, she threw away her previous mobile phone number, and she heard from her grandmother that a young man often came to her house to look for her recently, and claimed to be her classmate. Shen Yin always avoided him and didn't want to see him again.

One evening in mid-December, she received a strange phone call. Su Yuqian's crying came from the phone, she cried and begged Shen Yin to come to the city hospital as soon as possible, she couldn't hear the specific things clearly, only heard Su Yuqian's hoarse sobbing. Shen Yin hung up the phone, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but he was really worried and curious, and finally packed his things and went out.

It was a cold wind that evening, the temperature was around minus 1 degree, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, the weather forecast said that there would be snow tomorrow, and now there was a drizzle in the sky. She managed to get a taxi that was willing to go to the city, but the price was double.

The driver, a middle-aged man in his thirties, agreed to give her a seven-percent discount after asking Shen Yin where she was going.

It was already ten o'clock after Shen Yin came to the city hospital, and as soon as she walked to the gate of the hospital, Su Yuqian hurriedly stepped forward to grab her and led her to the operating room on the third floor. Her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Shen Yin, it's all my fault, please help me, help me save him." Su Yuqian sat on a chair next to her and held her right hand, covering her face and crying.

"What the hell is going on?" Shen Yin asked suspiciously, but she should have guessed a few points in her heart.

"Wang Mengliang was injured, especially the brain, which was very dangerous. The doctor said he had a 20% chance of waking up, so please help me. Su Yuqian lay on her chest and cried, and her voice was hoarse.

"Why is this happening?" Shen Yin's mind felt dizzy, she really couldn't believe that this was the truth.

Su Yuqian cried and continued in a hoarse voice: "He was injured for me, I ......"

At this moment, the door of the operating room opened, and she saw a person being pushed out of it, and she walked to the hospital bed and saw the face of the lying person. The doctor next to him wanted to stop her, but Su Yuqian said softly, "She is also a family member of the patient. ”

"The patient's condition is very serious, and although the operation was very successful, the chances of waking up are still very slim, so be mentally prepared." The doctor took off his mask and told them.

Shen Yin saw that Wang Mengliang's face was pale, her head was wrapped in gauze, her hands were trembling, and her heart ached.

Wang Mengliang was admitted to the intensive care unit, and Shen Yin has been accompanying him at the bedside. As the nurse examined him, she saw that he was also covered in gauze. She didn't ask Su Yuqian about the circumstances and reasons for his injuries, she was afraid to go through this—the feeling of watching others suffer pain and not being able to do anything about it.

She kept holding the thumb of his left hand, for fear that she would miss the time he woke up. She didn't close her eyes all night and kept staring at him. She remembered the day her mother died, and she held her mother's hand in front of the hospital bed like this, and her mother's pale face was deeply imprinted in her mind.

The nurse came five times, and each time she would persuade her to rest outside, but she politely refused.

She sat until the next morning, Wang Menglian still did not wake up, she only kept talking by his bedside, hoping to stimulate him through her own voice and make him wake up quickly.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, she finally saw Wang Mengliang's fingers move, and she excitedly called the doctor. After some examination, the doctor told her the good news - Wang Mengliang was out of danger.

She has been standing outside the intensive care room, hearing the doctor's words, she slumped on the chair next to her, she was finally able to feel at ease, then she felt hungry, looked at the time and found that she had not eaten or drunk for 17 hours, she called Su Yuqian, and told her that Wang Mengliang had woken up and that he had passed the dangerous period.

Wang Mengliang was transferred to a general ward and is now asleep. Su Yuqian had already come to the hospital, and seeing that Wang Mengliang was out of danger, she hugged Shen Yin and whispered in her ear with a thousand thanks: "Thank you, Shen Yin." Su Yuqian sat in front of his hospital bed, holding his hand tightly with both hands.

When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart. She walked out of the hospital groggily holding on to the wall, came to a nearby restaurant to drink some porridge, and then she sent a text message to Su Yuqian, telling her that she was going back and asking her to take good care of Wang Mengliang. Su Yuqian replied: "Okay, pay attention to safety on the road." ”

As soon as she got on the high-speed train back to the county, Sister Ning's phone called, and she remembered that she was in a hurry to leave last night, and her mobile phone was turned off all the time, and she didn't turn on her mobile phone until she left the intensive care unit, and she forgot to ask the leader for leave in the morning. Sister Ning told her that the leaders attached great importance to her absenteeism and asked her to go to work tomorrow morning to be mentally prepared.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Shen Yin arrived in the county seat, and she wanted to lie in bed and sleep as soon as she got home. But she couldn't stand the smell of disinfectant on her body, so she dragged her tired body to take a shower first, she inadvertently glanced at herself in the mirror, her eyes were swollen, the dark circles were as big as panda eyes, and her eyes were full of red bloodshots, and people who didn't know thought she had pink eye. She recalled the reason why she had just gotten on the high-speed train and the people around her were looking at her strangely. She took a shower, drank a glass of hot milk and fell asleep.

The next day, she was woken up by an alarm clock and went to work after breakfast. As soon as she arrived at the unit, the chair was called out by the leader before it was hot, and the leader criticized her in front of everyone in the unit at the morning meeting, and after the meeting, he also gave her more than 20 minutes of 'ideological education' and told her that this month's bonus had been canceled.

Shen Yin returned to the office, and Sister Ning, who likes to gossip, came to her side and asked in a strange tone, "Shen Yin, have you got a boyfriend?" ”

Shen Yin rolled his eyes and pulled his face, "How could such a good thing happen to me." ”

Sister Ning walked up to her a little excitedly and looked at her with a serious face, "That's good, just now Xiao Xiao next door asked me if you have a boyfriend, what do you think of him?" Sister Ning patted her on the shoulder, "Huh? I think you two are quite suitable, but you're embarrassed to say, I'll help you out? ”

Shen Yin flipped through the documents on the table, and opened the computer absentmindedly, "Sister Ning, if you have time, you should take care of your son's study, I heard that your son is about to take the college entrance examination." ”

"My son's grades are good, so I don't have to worry about it. His dad was a teacher at his school, so he would definitely worry about it. Sister Ning looked forward to Shen Yin's answer, "Do you have any feelings for Xiao Xiao?" ”

"No, I only have feelings about my winnings." Shen Yin propped his head with both hands, with a sad expression on his face, "Alas, my bonus this month!" ”

Sister Ning didn't say anything anymore when she saw Shen Yin like this, she patted her arm and went to do her thing.

Sister Ning knows in her heart that the basic salary of a unit of ** nature like theirs is very small, and most of them rely on year-end bonuses and unit benefits. The year-end bonus is paid at the end of each year, that is, at the end of December. Shen Yin came in October, she worked positively, had a serious attitude, and the unit leaders evaluated her very well, I thought she could get a high year-end bonus, but she didn't expect to be criticized by the leaders and cancel her year-end bonus qualifications, so she could only get that weak salary.

Although Shen Yin was disqualified from the year-end bonus, she did not regret her actions. Although it is approaching the end of the year, she still works hard and her enthusiasm for work has not diminished in the slightest.

Two weeks after that incident, in late December, Shen Yin received a text message from Su Yuqian, asking her to meet on Saturday at a restaurant in the county called 'Friend'.

She dressed up carefully before going out, because she estimated that Wang Mengliang would be present. When she arrived at the agreed restaurant, she only saw Su Yuqian alone. The dishes on the table have been ordered, and it is a hot pot.

Su Yuqian waved at her and motioned for Shen Yin to sit opposite her. Su Yuqian picked up a glass of wine and handed it to her, "Shen Yin, I'm sorry, I did a lot of excessive things to you before, please forgive me, right?" Her face flushed slightly, "Shen Yin, I know that I hurt you when I was in junior high school before, but eleven years later, you are still so good to me and still treat me as a 'friend', but now I still hurt you, I'm sorry!" Su Yuqian's eyes were shining with tears.

Shen Yin took the wine glass and drank it all, "Okay, I accept your apology." She also poured a glass of wine and handed it to Su Yuqian, "After drinking this wine, the previous matter will be written off." ”

Su Yuqian happily took the wine glass and drank it, "Thank you, Shen Yin, I'm really happy!" Today we're going to eat more. ”

After she and Su Yuqian finished eating, two hours had passed. Su Yuqian pulled her and said to her, "Let's go shopping together today, okay?" ”

Shen Yin nodded. They went out of the restaurant, and they smelled of hot pot, and Su Yuqian suggested going to the mall first.

They went to two shopping malls in a row, and Shen Yin couldn't walk anymore. Su Yuqian laughed at her on the side, and Shen Yin rubbed her sore legs and said, "I really admire you so much, you have such energy to go to the mall." ”

Su Yuqian looked at her with disgust, and said proudly: "This is all practiced, it's like you sit at your desk all day, you just need to use your hands." She stretched her stiletto legs, which were estimated to be more than five centimeters long, "We'll go to another mall in a moment." ”

Shen Yin had already changed into a pair of flats he had just bought, "Okay, I want to sit for another twenty minutes." ”

"Well, I'll go buy some drinks nearby." Su Yuqian put things next to her.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Yuqian came over with two cups of hot milk tea and handed her a cup, "There are too many people buying milk tea, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Shen Yin took a sip, it was the taste of strawberry juice and yogurt, "It tastes good." ”

"That's, I bought it, after all." Su Yuqian smiled and sat next to her.

They walked outside for an afternoon, Su Yuqian bought her a camel-colored coat, and she bought Su Yuqian a pair of black high heels. Su Yuqian was going back to the town, so they didn't have dinner together, Shen Yin sent her to the bus station in the county seat, and watched her get on the bus.

Shen Yin returned to the rental house, and his legs were already numb from pain. She was secretly determined that she wanted to start exercising and regain her strength, so she decided to wake up early on the weekend and go for a trot in the park.

The next day was Sunday, and she woke up at 8 o'clock to find that her legs were in pain, so she called her grandmother while lying in bed and said that she would not be coming home today. She continued to lie down again, and at once lay down until twelve o'clock in the afternoon. In the afternoon, she still had a lot of clothes to wash, dragged her sore legs to take the dirty clothes downstairs to the dry cleaners, and bought some half-cooked food outside to bring back.

She had just finished eating when someone from the editorial office called and told her that a popular novelist wanted to work with her, that he wanted to change one of his novels into a comic book with her brush, and that he wanted to ask for her opinion.

Of course, Shen Yin was very willing, and happily agreed and asked for the contact information of the writer.

She looked at the time and thought about calling the writer. With nervousness and excitement, she dialed the string of numbers, and a low and gentle male voice came: "Hello, I'm Zhou Fansheng, who are you looking for?" ”

As soon as Shen Yin said his name, Zhou Fansheng said his address, his home was in a community in the city, "Is it convenient for you to come?" I think it's better to talk about this matter in person. ”

Shen Yin felt that it was not far from his address, so he agreed to visit him and see the true face of this popular writer in person.

"Okay, can it be at three o'clock in the afternoon?" Zhou Fansheng said.

"Okay." After speaking, the other party has hung up the phone.

Shen Yin hurriedly searched the high-speed rail to the city today with his mobile phone and booked a ticket. In her opinion, those popular writers are more particular people, she ceremoniously cleaned herself up, looked in front of the mirror three times, and then went out with the matching bag.

She followed the address Zhou Fansheng gave her and found his residence. She looked at the time, it was exactly 2:40 p.m., she sorted out her clothes again, and rang the doorbell.

A man with messy hair opened the door and leaned against the frame, a cigarette hanging from his mouth.

She looked at the man in surprise and asked, "May I ask if you are Mr. Zhou Fansheng?" ”

The man flicked the long bangs on his forehead, took out the cigarette in his mouth, and looked at her, "Are you Shen Yin?" ”

"Well, I'm looking for Mr. Zhou Fansheng, and we made an appointment." She smiled awkwardly.

"Come in, I'm Zhou Fansheng." He opened the door wide and invited her in.

Shen Yin changed into a pair of slippers at the door, walked into the house, and a strong smell of cigarettes came to her face, and she waved her hand.

"Sorry, the smell of smoke in the house is a bit louder, you can find a place to sit." Zhou Fansheng opened the window and went to pour water.

Shen Yin sat on the sofa in the living room, looked around, and found that there were only a few pieces of furniture in the room, and six pots of green plants were placed on the windowsill.

Zhou Fansheng took a glass of water and put it on the table in front of her, "Please use it!" ”

Shen Yin picked up the cup and said "thank you".

Zhou Fansheng took out a notebook, opened it and put it on the table towards her, then sat opposite her and said, "This is the novel I want you to change into comics, what do you think of it?" ”

Shen Yin flipped through the content of a chapter, felt that his writing was very good, and said modestly: "Your writing is very good, if I don't draw the content of a chapter first, how do you take a look?" ”

"No, as long as you're sure, just draw, I believe in your ability." He wore slippers, crossed Erlang's legs, leaned back on the sofa and whispered, "I haven't published this novel yet, and I haven't printed it, it's only in the form of an electronic version, and you can play it as you like." ”

Shen Yin didn't know why this popular novelist believed in her so much, she felt an invisible pressure, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhou, I wonder if you have read my works?" Are there any requirements for me? ”

"Not at the moment, because I haven't seen your work, but I'm still looking forward to you." Zhou Fansheng smiled at her, "You don't have to be so polite to me, we are the same age, just call me by my name." ”

Shen Yin took out a USB flash drive from his bag and inserted it in his notebook, "These are a few works I have drawn, can you please take a look?" She placed the notebook in front of him.

Zhou Fansheng glanced at it and said to her, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about comics." I've just said that I'm looking forward to you, and as for how you paint this work, that's your business, and I can't interfere with it. However, you should know that every novel I write becomes a bestseller, and I hope you take this unpublished novel seriously. ”

There was a smell of embarrassment in the air, Shen Yin smiled awkwardly, she took a sip of water and said, "Okay, I will do my best to complete it, and I will definitely not do anything that damages your reputation." ”

"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Zhou Fansheng stretched out his hand to her and said with a smile.

Shen Yin shook hands with him, copied the novel in the notebook to her USB flash drive, and just picked up his bag, Zhou Fansheng took a piece of paper and shouted at her: "Wait, this is my email address, it will be convenient to contact you in the future." ”

She took the note, said "excuse me", and left Zhou Fansheng's house.

Shen Yin walked outside and looked at his phone, it was already half past three. She booked a ticket home, then walked to the city's busiest snack street to buy a lot of snacks.

She is going to give herself two weeks of food, and plans to spend all her time after work on completing Zhou Fansheng's novel within two weeks. It was half past five when she returned to the county seat from the city with a large bag of snacks, and she hurriedly took the clothes from the dry cleaners downstairs, hung them on the balcony, ordered a takeout by the way, and locked herself in the room to begin working on the first draft of the comics.

Half an hour later, the takeout she ordered had arrived, she went downstairs to get the takeout and sat in front of her notebook while eating and drawing.

By the time she felt tired from painting, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, so she packed up the takeaway bag and stretched to wash.

Two days later, she sent the comic content of the first chapter to Zhou Fansheng's mailbox, and waited for two hours without receiving a reply from him, she was a little discouraged, and she was ready to accept criticism. The editorial department called to ask how her cooperation with Zhou Fansheng was, and wanted to release this comic soon. After she told the newsroom to the newsroom, they said they would give her another two weeks.

In the evening, she was eating at a restaurant outside, and she received a new email on her phone, and she dropped the soup spoon on the ground in a frenzy, and the soup splashed everywhere and splashed onto the white sweater on her chest. She couldn't care about it anymore and was busy opening the email.

The email is from Zhou Fansheng, and the content is only two words: OK.

Although there were only those two words, she felt encouraged and she was very happy. casually wiped the soup stains on her clothes with a paper towel, and after settling the bill, she went straight home. After taking a shower and changing clothes, she locked herself in the room and began to paint. Before going to bed, she texted someone in the editorial office and sent the contents of the first chapter of the comic.
