Tomorrow is New Year's Day in 2020, and Shen Yin has been very busy during this time. Everything is difficult at the beginning, now that she has passed Zhou Fansheng's review, she still has to complete the rest of the chapters. In addition, it is approaching the end of the year, and there is still a lot of work to be done in the unit, and she only sleeps seven hours a day.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, but today she is still working overtime in the unit. She looked out of the office window, and she was startled when a figure suddenly appeared outside the window. "Ah, it turned out to be Xiao Xiao, why haven't you gotten off work so late?" Shen Yin said to the figure outside the window.

"I just finished my work for today, what about you?" Xiao Xiao walked in and smiled at her, "Do you need me to help you?" ”

"It's okay, I'm almost done." Shen Yin stared at the computer screen.

"Shen Yin, are you free tomorrow?" Xiao Xiao walked across from her.

"Huh? What's wrong? Shen Yin stopped typing on the keyboard and looked up at him.

Xiao Xiao touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Tomorrow, I want to ask you out to play, can you go?" ”

Shen Yin remembered what Sister Ning said to herself a few days ago, and she smiled awkwardly, "Ah...... Sorry, I don't have time tomorrow. ”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes, and he also smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay." He glanced in the office, walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, "It's so late, I'll wait for you to go along, right?" ”

"No, you can go first. Anyway, tomorrow is a holiday, and I will work overtime. Shen Yin is still typing, and she wants to finish this month's summary report.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll go home alone anyway, and I'll stay here for a while." Xiao Xiao looked at the newspaper and said that he looked at Shen Yin with his spare eyes.

Shen Yin was busy with his work, and he didn't have any extra time to distract himself, so he didn't talk to him anymore.

By the time she finished writing the report and looked at her watch, it was already eight o'clock. She yawned, stood up and stretched her arms, and suddenly saw another person in the office. She looked at Xiao Xiao awkwardly and met his gaze, "I'm sorry, I thought you were gone." ”

Xiao Xiao covered his mouth and smiled, "Shen Yin, you are really a 'workaholic'!" ”

"Ah, I'm sorry." She turned off the computer and sorted out the documents on the table, "Today, Sister Ning has something to ask for leave, and I have to complete this month's report on time, so I am busy until this point in time." ”

"You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? Let's go together, right? Xiao Xiao put down the newspaper, looked at her and smiled.

Shen Yin really felt hungry, so he agreed without hesitation. They walked downstairs together, only to find that all the lights had been turned off in the offices on the entire floor, leaving only the faint light of the corridor.

"Xiao Xiao, thank you for accompanying me today, I will invite you to dinner this time." Shen Yin walked to Xiao Xiao's left side, and she found him staring at the corridor on the first floor, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Shen Yin, do you see if that lamp is broken? Twinkle and twinkle. ”

Shen Yin followed his gaze and saw that the light bulb in the hall on the first floor was broken, and the light in the entire hall was very weak, "Well, it needs to be repaired, otherwise it will be a little inconvenient to work overtime in the future." You wait for me first, and I'll go tell the doorman uncle. ”

Xiao Xiao called out to her, "I already said just now, the people from the property said that they would come over for maintenance at noon tomorrow." ”

"Thank you!"

He walked beside Shen Yin, hesitated for a moment and said, "Shen Yin, I like you, can you agree to have a relationship with me?" He looked at her expectantly.

Shen Yin's face was a little hot, she wanted to refuse but didn't want to say anything to hurt him, so she had to be silent.

They were silent for ten seconds before Xiao Xiao spoke, "Shen Yin, you like to eat noodles, I know a very delicious noodle restaurant." ”

"No...... All right. Shen Yin wanted to refuse, but just now he agreed to invite her to dinner, after all, he helped him tonight.

Xiao Xiao took her to a noodle restaurant, the decoration inside was very simple, only a cloth flag hung at the door, on which a big '麺' character was written with a brush. Xiao Xiao led her to a table by the window and sat down, there were two people in the restaurant in addition to them, an eldest sister about thirty years old came out of it, came to their table, and greeted warmly: "Don't be embarrassed, the chef just came home for something, and now the store only provides 'somen noodles', I don't know if you are still willing?" ”

Shen Yin smiled at the eldest sister and said, "It's okay, just two bowls of 'somen noodles', one of which is not a chili pepper." She motioned to Xiao Xiao and wanted to ask him if he had any taboos.

Xiao Xiao immediately understood and shook his head.

The eldest sister smiled, "You guys wait a while, it'll be fine right away." ”

Xiao Xiao looked at his phone and casually fiddled with the water cup on the table, "Shen Yin, can we continue to be friends?" ”

She kept echoing the words in her head, and only when she heard him speak, did she come back to her senses, "Of course." "Xiao Xiao is her senior, she came to the unit a year before her, they are in different departments, and the two departments are not on the same floor, and they will only meet a few times by chance when they are eating.

At this time, the eldest sister brought two bowls of 'somen noodles' and put them on the table, filled them with tea, and left.

Shen Yin saw that the noodles in the bowl were only two-thirds, sprinkled with a layer of chopped green onions, and the noodle soup was turmeric and exuded the fragrance of fish. She took a sip of the soup, which tasted excellent.

"How does it taste? Do you like it? Xiao Xiao had already taken a bite of the noodles, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Shen Yin held back a smile and nodded, "Well, it's delicious!" ”

"They also have a lot of different flavors of noodles that you can try later."

Shen Yin just smiled and didn't speak. The location of this shop is just opposite to where she lives, so she wouldn't choose to come here for a meal in order to make the most of her time after work.

After eating, Xiao Xiao insisted on sending himself home, but in the end she made an excuse to refuse. She walked alone on the familiar road, the moon had disappeared in the clouds, there were few pedestrians on the road, the landscape trees on the side of the road stood alone like her, and she was accompanied only by street lamps. The cold air greeted her, and she slipped her hand into her coat pocket and inadvertently touched her phone. She turned on her phone and saw that it was already 9:15, and she had just put the phone back in her pocket when a text message rang. She rubbed her hands together, opened her phone and saw an email.

This email was sent by Zhou Fansheng, and she saw the content on it: I have read the content of the first chapter you posted, and the comments have been very well received. Today, I accidentally remembered that there is a chapter with poor plot design (I can't remember which chapter exactly), so please take the time to change it.

Shen Yin was indignant in his heart, and muttered to himself: "I'm not the author, why am I still responsible for the task of revising the content now?" "Obviously, she is only responsible for drawing the novel into a comic, why is the work of changing the content of the novel now also handed over to herself?

She wanted to rush to Zhou Fansheng immediately and question him, but she held back. After calming down a bit, she edited a new email: "Mr. Zhou, I can only draw, and as for what you said about revising the content of the book, I am not up to the task. I am really afraid of doing something that damages Mr. Zhou's reputation, and I ask Mr. Zhou to forgive me. ”

As soon as she sent the email, she regretted it a little, thinking in her heart, maybe Zhou Fansheng just said casually, he just wanted to test himself, after all, a famous writer like him must pay great attention to his reputation. Will that affect their cooperation?

Shen Yin shook his head, anyway, there is no way to withdraw the email sent out now, even if it affects his image in Zhou Fansheng's heart, but compared with the two, Zhou Fansheng will definitely choose his reputation. She didn't get any new emails when she got home.

It's been an hour since she lay in bed, and she still can't sleep. Shen Yin took out the novel and decided to see what was wrong with what he said. She turned on the lamp, curled up in her chair, and sat down in front of her notebook with a thin quilt draped over her.

By the time she finished reading the novel, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and strangely enough, she was not sleepy at all. She warmed herself a glass of milk and continued to stare at her notebook. She had found the unreasonable chapters of the book, and the thick smell of milk lingered on the tip of her nose, as if to bring her into the world of the novel. She had an idea, thought of how to revise it, and hurriedly grabbed the thoughts just now and hurriedly edited the article.

Two hours passed, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she sent the edited content to Zhou Fansheng's mailbox.

She was sleepy, turned off her notebook, and fell asleep in bed.

When the sun shone into the house, there was a commotion outside, Shen Yin opened her eyes, she touched the alarm clock in front of the bed and saw that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and her stomach had already sung the empty city plan, she quickly finished washing up and was ready to go out to eat.

Because she was in a hurry, she forgot to bring her mobile phone and went out with only her wallet. After eating, she came to the park near the community alone, because today is New Year's Day, and the park is full of people, most of them are young couples sitting on benches basking in the sun. She had walked around the park in search of a stool, and finally she was disappointed to find a lawn, lying on a parched, flattened lawn and looking up at the sky.

The harsh sunlight shone directly into her eyes, causing many spots of light to appear in front of her eyes. She remembered that she had had had a similar experience, but at that time she only had the tall, well-slewed, sunny-like teenager in her eyes. She rubbed her temples to brush the figure away, and she thought: I guess I had just slept for too long.

She rested her arms on her forehead, just to block out the glare of the sun. In the past month, she has been taking less and less time off, she has to be busy with work during the day and paint after work, and she has not visited the supermarket for two weeks. Thinking of last night's events, the idea of resignation came to mind. Thinking about it, she fell asleep.

Shen Yin was dreaming, she felt her arm being gently shaken, and she opened her eyes to meet a pair of clear little eyes.

"Girl, are you sick? I see you've been lying here for almost half an hour. A gentle female voice came from her ears.

There was a young mother standing next to Shen Yin, her right hand gently pulling one of the child's arms, the child was touching Shen Yin's right arm, in a posture of rushing into Shen Yin's arms, the young mother's eyes stayed on her body, with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, she's very naughty." ”

Shen Yin sat up, stretched out her hands, the child walked into her arms with a happy face, and she said to the young mother embarrassedly: "It's okay, I didn't expect myself to fall asleep." ”

"Although the sun is shining now, it's winter, and the grass will get a little damp, so remember to take some cold medicine in advance when you get home." The young mother squatted next to her and smiled, slowly letting go of the hand holding the child.

"Thank you!" Shen Yin squatted up while teasing the child, and she touched the child's fat little hand, "He's so cute." ”

"He's naughty all day, and he usually can't stay at home." The young mother brushed the shredded hair around her ears and pulled the wrinkled clothes on the child's body.

"I'm really not afraid of people at all." Shen Yin looked at the child's long eyelashes and couldn't help but feel envious, "Is he a girl?" Her eyes are beautiful. ”

"It's a boy, and when outsiders see him, they say he looks like a girl." The young mother covered her mouth and smiled.

The child stayed in her arms for a while, and was about to pull her to the other side, Shen Yin stood up and bent down to help him.

"He went elsewhere, probably hungry." The young mother came and picked up the child, "I'm going to go home and make food for him, so I'll go first." "The young mother taught the child to say 'bye-bye,' and the child immediately learned, shouting milkily and waving his little hand.

Shen Yin smiled and waved at them as well.

Shen Yin patted the hay crumbs on his body and straightened his hair.

It was already four o'clock when she got home, and she remembered to call her grandmother to say hello, and as soon as she picked up her phone, an email prompt message came into view. But she still called her grandmother first and asked about her physical condition before opening the email and reading it.

The email is from Zhou Fansheng, and the content is: I have read your revised content, although the writing is a little immature, but the plot is reasonable, and there are many merits. After much thought, I decided to make minor changes on the premise that you made the change. I think you have the potential to write youth campus articles, are you interested in giving it a try?

Shen Yin hurriedly opened the notebook, wanting to see what changes Zhou Fansheng had made, so he didn't care about replying to his email in time.

After reading the content of his changes, her heart increased a little admiration for him, in his articles, those seemingly random actions under the rendering of his writing can resonate with the reader, deeply sympathetic, she decided to have time to buy a few of Zhou Fansheng's works to read.

She looked at the time and saw that it was still early, and the bookstore had not yet closed, so she hurriedly put on her coat and went straight to the bookstore.

Fortunately, today is New Year's Day, and there is a discount event in the bookstore, so she picked out three novels by Fan Sheng and spent her one hundred and fifty yuan.

The bookstore owner happily helped her load three novels, and said with a smile: "Girl, seeing that you have bought so many books, you must be a fan of Zhou Fansheng, I have a ticket for his signing meeting here, do you want it?" The boss had already taken a ticket from the counter, "It's cheaper for you, I originally bought a ticket for 50 yuan, and if you want to pay 40 yuan." ”

Shen Yin didn't raise his head, and after paying the money, he carried the book and prepared to go out. The bookstore owner thought she hadn't heard, and hurriedly grabbed her, wanting to explain it again.

Shen Yin waved his hand busily, "I'm not a fan of Zhou Fansheng, I bought it for my friend." ”

The bookstore owner's face froze, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry." ”

Shen Yin shook his head and went out directly.

Now she is more and more interested in Zhou Fansheng, she carries a bag of books in her left hand, and takes out her mobile phone with her right hand to search for Zhou Fansheng's deeds in Baidu. As soon as she unlocked the lock screen, her phone prompted that it still had one percent of the battery, so she put it back in her pocket and tightened the scarf around her neck. She smelled the smell of stewed pork ribs, and then remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner yet, so she went into a restaurant and ordered a meal of rice, a portion of pork rib soup, and a portion of stir-fried vegetables. She took advantage of the time when she hadn't served the meal yet, and opened Zhou Fansheng's novel and read it.

The waitress at this store was a twenty-year-old girl, she brought the food to Shen Yin, saw that she was reading Zhou Fansheng's novel, and smiled: "You also like this author!" ”

Shen Yin raised his head and put the book on the table on his right, "Are you a fan of Zhou Fansheng?" ”

The girl smiled, "Sort of, I've always liked his novels, it's like meeting him in person." ”

Shen Yin remembered that meeting with Zhou Fansheng, and she thought that if his fans really saw him that day, I am afraid that he would lose a lot of fans, right? She also smiled at the girl, "I heard that he is going to hold a signing party recently, can you go to it?" Bookstores all sell tickets to his book signings. ”

The girl's eyes lit up and she gave her a look of surprise, "Thank you!" ”

The girl hurried to the back kitchen, changed her clothes, and immediately rushed out of the restaurant.

Although she only read the two pages of this book called "Thank God for Letting Me Meet You in the Years of Struggle", she fell in love with the novel.

It was already about seven o'clock in the evening when she returned to the rental house, and she quickly washed up and continued to sit in front of her notebook and start drawing.

2020 has arrived, and the Spring Festival is still half a month away.

Shen Yin planned to go home on the weekend of this week, because Su Yuqian told her that there would be a junior high school reunion on Saturday this week, and there would be many old classmates at that time, and she hoped that she could attend on time.
