Half a month later, her work won the third prize. On the day the results of the contest were announced, she went to the scene and met many well-known cartoonists.

After the award ceremony, she met Xia Zhen, but Xia Zhen was standing next to a handsome American man.

"Shen Yin, long time no see, congratulations today!" Xia Zhen smiled and sat down beside her.

"I didn't expect you to be a special guest, I'm very happy to see you." Shen Yin hugged her, she was wearing a long white dress today, dignified and beautiful, like the goddess Athena in the West.

They talked about the other guests at the scene, and Xia Zhen pointed to the handsome American man who had just arrived and said, "Do you know him?" He was a well-known American illustrator and a friend of mine. ”

Shen Yin was very surprised, "Oh my God, I actually met a real person, but why is he even more handsome than him in the photos on the Internet." She remembered the photo of him on the Internet, wearing an old denim jacket, loose dark blue pants, long hair that had covered his eyes, and the beard on his face was not shaved. I'm going to ask him for a picture and an autograph. She said impatiently.

Xia Zhen grabbed her, and said with a light smile in anticipation: "Wait a while, Xun Si is busy now, I will be your translator in a while, you can have a good chat with him." ”

"Thank you, I'm so happy." Shen Yin held her hand, her face full of gratitude, and suddenly she reacted, "He doesn't know Chinese?" ”

"It's only a little bit, so every time he participates in some invitations in China, he pulls me in and asks me to be his translator." Xia Zhen said helplessly, "But every time I don't go in vain, I met you this time." Xia Zhen smiled happily.

"You often go to events together?" Shen Yin thought that they were not ordinary friends, so he asked curiously.

Xia Zhen poked her forehead with his finger, "Uh, what are you thinking?" ”

"Where? You see that Suns looks at you differently than others, and it's hard not to think about it, okay? Shen Yin glanced at where Xun Si was standing, "Did he confess to you?" Shen Yin pestered her like a gossip reporter and asked.

Xia Zhen shyly diverted the topic and looked in the other direction, "Do you know that uncle?" Although he was already past the age of the cane dynasty, he still continued to paint, and he was very famous in Japan. ”

Shen Yin looked at her gaze, thinking that the gray-haired old man was sitting in the middle of the guest seat wearing a pair of reading glasses.

"Why don't you go and take a group photo and get a touch of the old man's good luck?" Xia Zhen nudged her lightly and motioned for her to hurry up.

Shen Yin came to the VIP area, casually took a copy of the old man's work from the prize table, walked up to the old man with admiration, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Gong, I have admired your name for a long time, and I am very happy to see you today." ”

"Young man, I've already seen your work, it's very good!" Mr. Gong smiled with relief.

Shen Yin stood beside Mr. Gong, took a photo, and asked for his autograph in Chinese.

She returned to her seat and placed the book on the table.

Xia Zhen took a sip of water, and when he saw her sitting down, he frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What?" Why aren't you happy to see your idol? ”

"No, I'm just thinking, how does a famous person like Mr. Gong feel if he can draw comics as the only thing he pursues in his life?" Shen Yin said suspiciously, "If it were me, would I be able to sit like this?" ”

Xia Zhen smiled bitterly: "You can just ask directly?" What's the use of thinking here? ”

"Do you think Mr. Gong will tell the truth in the face of so many media?" Shen Yin looked at her indifferently, "Anyway, you are also a celebrity, if it were you, would you?" ”

"That's right, after all, there are so many media at the scene, maybe there is one hidden next to Mr. Gong? Waiting to break some 'big news'? Xia Zhen covered his mouth and smiled, "Alas, why do you want so much?" No one can say whether the future self will continue to live the current life, as long as you think you are right on the road you have walked, why bother yourself? ”

Xia Zhen whispered in her ear, "I'll go out for a while, and we'll call each other." ”

Xia Zhen left her seat with her bag, and she saw Xia Zhen walk straight out of the venue.

Shen Yin also went to exchange experiences with some other winners. She learned that most of the people in the venue were young people, and there were very few older cartoonists. The first place in this award is the most popular webtoon artist - Wei Zeyun, who has 600,000 fans and is also a fashion blogger who is often searched. The second place is a charming man in his thirties - Fang Xing, whose pen name is 'Uncle Xing'. He is good at realism, although his works are not so glamorous, but they can move people's hearts and easily resonate with readers, and his three works have been made into movies and have more than one million fans; Shen Yin thought that she could win the second place, but after reading the works of the first two, she was indeed satisfied. She is the only woman to win the award, her works are warm, elegant, and very girlish, and can always let readers see the joys and sorrows of those youthful years, and she is liked by many women and has 300,000 fans.

Through this competition, Shen Yin's name was known to most people in the industry, and many writers who were good at writing romantic youth stories contacted her one after another and offered her willingness to cooperate.

But Shen Yin politely refused, she still hasn't finished the work at hand, plus the three recent serialized works, it has already taken her a lot of energy.

At five o'clock in the evening, Shen Yin had already returned to the hotel, and Xia Zhen called and said that he wanted to invite her to dinner.

She walked out of the hotel, and Xia Zhen sat in the car and waved at her. At this time, she changed into a casual outfit, with a pink top with slanted shoulders and white shorts, which was very pure and moving. Shen Yin saw that it was Xun Si who was sitting in the driver's seat.

They sat in the back seat, Xia Zhen introduced himself to Suns, and Shen Yin kept smiling.

"You don't have to be nervous, in fact, he is very easy to get along with, just treat him as a friend." Xia Zhen whispered in her ear.

Arriving at a restaurant, Suns handed the car keys to the waiter at the door, and they walked into a Western restaurant together.

Xia Zhen looked at the menu in his hand and smiled at Shen Yin, "Whatever you want to eat, order whatever you want, he has a treat today." Xia Zhen winked at Suns.

Suns smiled politely, indicating that it didn't matter.

Shen Yin whispered: "I feel like I'm here to be a 'light bulb'." ”

Xia Zhen diverted the topic, turned to Sunsunu, and said to her, "Didn't you want to sign autographs and take a group photo?" This is a great opportunity. ”

"I don't want a group photo, you can send me a single photo of him when you go back, and the signature will be free." Shen Yin felt that the current atmosphere was not suitable for this, and refused.

They chatted while eating, and Xia Zhen took on the role of translator. Although Shen Yin had taken the English Level 4 test in college, she had long forgotten it and could only hear a few sporadic English words clearly.

Shen Yin learned that Xia Zhen and Xun Si met in the United States, when they went to the same university and studied the same major. It can be said that Xia Zhen is Suns's direct student. But then, Suns fell in love with illustration and began to dabble in the field, which led to great success.

As one of the most famous illustrators in the United States, Suns has the ability to be both a digital illustrator and a hand-drawn illustrator, and often travels around to record his footprints.

There are very few photos of him on the Internet, most of them are uncles who look sloppy, and he rarely participates in large-scale events, and almost no longer appears in front of online media. But he has a high reputation among industry insiders, and even some large Chinese online game design companies will invite him to participate in the design as a special illustrator.

Xun Si is a calm man, even though he is only twenty-nine years old, but he exudes the charm of a mature man, and he is a good match for Xia Zhen's character.

They had dinner, and Shen Yin planned to go back to the hotel, because she had booked a ticket for six o'clock tomorrow morning. Xia Zhen didn't hold on anymore, and sent her back to the hotel and left.

Shen Yin could see that Xun Si liked Xia Zhen. In the evening, she finished drawing a chapter, Xia Zhen really sent Xun Si's personal photo over, this photo is his current appearance, golden hair is three or seven points, deep eyes with a high nose bridge is very handsome, mature, his face is angular and very courageous.

The next day, she went early to catch a flight and finally returned to the city at 3 p.m. Zhou Fansheng went to other places to discuss the publication of his new book, and there were only three other people in the studio.

Gong Weihan shot at her with a tube of flowers, "Shen Yin, congratulations!" She stretched out her arms and hugged Shen Yin.

"You're so good! Tonight to celebrate, we went to the food stalls for dinner. Yang Ning took a stack of A4 papers, stood next to them and said.

"Okay, we're not going to get drunk tonight!" Gong Weihan said happily.

Zhang Huan came over to help her carry the suitcase to the warehouse.

"Okay, you guys wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes." Shen Yin thanked Zhang Huan and entered the room.

Shen Yin, wearing a red T-shirt and a pair of dark blue shorts, was pulled downstairs by them.

The food stalls were far from the studio, and they took a fifteen-minute taxi ride.

Everyone talked and laughed, this meal lasted for two hours, Shen Yin drank two bottles of canned beer under their persuasion, and after that, she began to be dazed and wanted to sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed, but her surroundings were somewhat familiar. She rubbed her temples, opened the door in slippers, and Zhou Fansheng sat on the sofa reading the newspaper.

"You? This is your home. Shen Yin realized that he had actually arrived at Zhou Fansheng's house, "I'm not dreaming, right?" She turned her head and accidentally touched the wall with her nose.

"Have you forgotten about last night?" Zhou Fansheng smiled mysteriously, walked over, and handed her a glass of honey water.

Thinking that she had done something shameful last night, she hurriedly looked at the clothes on her body, and had changed into a dark blue men's pajamas, "What the hell did I do last night?" Her face flushed, and her heart filled with remorse.

"What do you think?" He knocked her on the back of the head, "You drank too much last night, I asked Weihan to help you to the bed and lie down, and she also helped you change your clothes." If you can't drink alcohol in the future, don't drink it, so as not to cause some trouble. ”

She rubbed her nose, took the glass, and lowered her head, "Sorry for the trouble." She slowly sat down on the couch and took a sip of honey, suddenly remembering that this was the first time she had been drunk, and wondering if she had said something she shouldn't have said.

"That...... I was drunk last night, did I talk nonsense? She asked apprehensively.

Zhou Fansheng smiled slightly, "You were very quiet yesterday, and you slept directly after getting drunk." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to drink honey water.

"It's Saturday, do you have any plans?" He asked faintly.

Shen Yin immediately put down the cup, only to remember that he had promised Wang Mengliang before that he would come to the city to pick her up today. She drank the rest of the honey water, hurriedly got up and walked to the room where she had just slept, and said, "I do have something to do today, so I'll go back first." ”

She found that there were no clothes in the room, and went back to the living room full of surprise.

Zhou Fansheng's Shen Yin sounded in the living room, "I have already washed your clothes for you yesterday, and they are still on the balcony, I don't know if they have been dried?" ”

She went straight to the balcony and found that he had washed even his underwear. She was embarrassed, and her cheeks were red and hot. She walked briskly to the room, changed her clothes, and put on the washed clothes.

Shen Yin opened the door, he was standing in the living room, holding her mobile phone in his hand, "This is your mobile phone, I'll send you to the vicinity of the studio." ”

She took the phone and ran directly to the door, "No, no need, I'll just take a taxi myself." Zhou Fansheng's voice sounded behind her, and she ignored it.

She came to the outside of the community, there were few cars coming and going, and after waiting for fifteen minutes, she didn't see a taxi, and suddenly a black Audi A8 stopped in front of her.

Zhou Fansheng poked his head out of the car window, "Let's go, get in the car, I'll take you to the vicinity of the studio." ”

Shen Yin hesitated and glanced at the road.

"It's a high-end residential area, and there are very few taxis." He looked at her and smiled, motioning for her to hurry up and get in the car.

Shen Yin sat in the passenger seat, her face still red. It was the first time in twenty-six years that she had been drunk, and she had encountered such an embarrassing thing.

Zhou Fansheng took out a bottle of milk and handed it to her, "Are you feeling better now?" ”

"Well, much better, thank you really for yesterday." She took the milk and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I can't drink so much in the future." He smiled softly, but he thought it was very cute when he saw her shy appearance.

Shen Yin nodded slightly.

"I was going to go to breakfast with you, but seeing that you are in such a hurry, let's drink the milk next time."

He parked the car downstairs in the studio, and after Shen Yin got out of the car, he smiled at him, "I'll go back first, you drive carefully!" ”

Zhou Fansheng watched her go in before driving away.

Shen Yin went back to wash up, and before he could change his clothes, Wang Mengliang's phone called, and he said that he had arrived downstairs in the studio.

Shen Yin hurriedly packed up his things and painted light makeup by the way. When she went downstairs, she accidentally saw her phone and noticed that it was already eleven o'clock.

Wang Mengliang, wearing a dark plaid shirt and a pair of gray trousers, stood at the door waiting for her.

As soon as she came out, Wang Mengliang took the bag in her hand and took her hand to the parking lot. He touched her forehead and asked with a concerned expression, "Are you sick?" The face is so bad. ”

She felt a little dizzy and a little weak. She smiled faintly, "It's okay, probably because I didn't have breakfast." ”

Wang Mengliang took her hand and walked in the opposite direction, "I took you to breakfast, I just saw a breakfast shop nearby." ”

He took her to the breakfast shop she frequented, the proprietress was still so enthusiastic, seeing that Shen Yin was a regular customer, she smiled slightly, "It's Xiaoyin, why did you come here today?" Aren't you resting? The proprietress finally focused her eyes on Wang Mengliang, and when she saw him holding Shen Yin's hand, she immediately smiled knowingly.

"Boss, a bowl of black rice porridge." Wang Mengliang led Shen Yin to sit in the innermost seat. He leaned in to her hair and sniffed it, "What did you do last night?" What a smell of wine. ”

Shen Yin brushed his hair and sniffed it, there was no smell of alcohol, only a faint smell of laundry detergent, "Are you a dog's nose?" She joked: "Last night I went to a food stall with my colleagues and drank a little beer. ”

"And then?" He asked thoughtfully, "Are you drunk?" ”

She smiled embarrassedly, "I did drink a little too much last night, but it's fine now." ”

The proprietress brought the porridge over, and Wang Mengliang put it in front of her, "Drink it quickly." ”

While she was drinking porridge, Wang Mengliang looked at her worriedly and said, "Don't skip breakfast or drink in the future." ”

"But...... I'll definitely drink less in the future, don't worry. She smiled mischievously and made a swear motion with her right hand, "I swear I'll never get drunk again." ”

He smiled softly, looking at her playful appearance, and he was out of breath. "I watched the news the day before yesterday, and you won an award." He said happily.

"I also met a celebrity, he himself is much more handsome than the photo, I got his treasured photos, do you want to see it?" Shen Yin took out his mobile phone, flipped out Naxuns' photo, and handed it to him.

"Why does this person feel a little familiar?" Wang Mengliang held his chin and said, "I always feel that I have seen it somewhere." ”

Shen Yin pouted and said, "It won't be on 'Baidu', right?" He is one of the most famous illustrators in the United States. ”

"As I remember, he came to the company's headquarters before, and it seems that he also designed the company's promotional advertisements." He put the phone down and smiled dotingly, "Eat first." ”
