Chapter 135: A long-lost friendship
As "Rebirth" became more and more popular, Shen Yin's name gradually became known to everyone, she had a feeling of dreaming, because the company's leave was too short, she came back after two days in Beijing after attending the award ceremony.
As soon as she got home, she was in a hurry to call Wang Hai, thinking about going to his house to get Xiaojin. After the last incident, her relationship with Wang Hai became more and more familiar, a week before her departure, she began to plan where to put Xiao Jin, that night Wang Hai just asked her for help, by the way he was going on a business trip for a few days, no one to take care of the cats at home, I wanted him to recommend a few reliable pet stores, I didn't expect him to agree to take care of Xiao Jin.
"Shen Yin, you're back, you can come over to pick up Xiaojin now, and I'll send you the address." Wang Hai saw that it was her call, and he didn't have to guess to know the purpose.
"Okay, then I'll go now." She hung up the phone and used her phone map to check the route, and it took 40 minutes to drive.
In view of the long distance, she took the subway first and then changed to a taxi, and when she arrived in front of Wang Hai's house, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, which did not save much time.
Wang Hai actually moved into the high-end community, and after she registered at the doorman's office, there was a beautiful large square in front of her, and there was a small fountain of ten square meters. The environment here is very nice, the green belt is neatly built, colorful flowers are arranged in various shapes in the middle of the lawn, and the leaves are covered with water droplets, which look like they have just been watered.
She went directly to the front of his house according to the address sent by Wang Hai, Wang Hai was dressed in casual clothes, welcomed her with a smile and said: "Shen Yin, congratulations, I saw the live broadcast on TV, you were so beautiful that day!" ”
She was embarrassed by Wang Hai's praise, "I brought you a gift, thank you for helping me take care of Xiaojin." ”
When she walked into the room, Kim heard her voice and ran over to her, rubbing at her feet, and out of it came a white butterfly dog.
Wang Hai poured her a cup of tea, "Xiao Jin and my Carl get along very well, both say that cats and dogs are natural enemies, but they seem to be of the same kind and very harmonious. ”
"Although Xiao Jin is brave, he is a little clingy, and occasionally he will lose his temper and cause you trouble." She picked up Kim and didn't forget to tease Carl, whose two unusual ears were also very cute, and Carl was lying comfortably on the carpet.
"Carl is not afraid of being born, and he likes you." Wang Hai sat opposite her with a can of beer, and looked at her as if he had something on his mind, "Shen Yin, I have something I want to discuss with you, it is about your work." ”
Since her award was announced on TV, many comic magazines wanted to sign a contract with her, but she refused, because her contract with the "Fanchen" studio had not ended, and she only serialized the new work in Yucheng Company, and did not sign a contract with Yucheng.
"I'm actually in the comics industry, and I appreciate your ability and talent, so I want to collaborate with you on a new work, and I'm ready for the novel, I don't know what you think?" Wang Hai took a printed document from the sofa and handed it to her, "When I was in college, I had the idea of writing a novel, which was also the first novel in my life. ”
Hearing the word "dream", her heart rippled layer by layer, thinking that she only relied on these two words to step into the field of comics, looking back on the ups and downs of the past ten years, she knows enough to achieve such an achievement. She flipped to the title page, and the entire synopsis of the story emerged, and the details of the characters were summarized and written after each name, showing how seriously its author was doing it.
"Okay, I can promise you, but I need to take this document back and take a closer look at it, and I'll contact you when I'm done."
"Well, it's great that you can agree, then I'll wait for your news." Wang Haixi smiled, this comic will definitely succeed with Shen Yin's participation, and his dream will eventually come true.
After Wang Hai sent her to the door, he insisted on driving her back, but she refused. Maybe Wang Hai had planned this from the time he promised to help her take care of Xiaojin, but what did it matter. She has long been used to being used and abandoned by each other in the adult world. If a person cannot be taken advantage of by others, then how lonely and pitiful his life will be.
She walked on the silent highway of the autumn night with Xiao Jin in her arms, and a deep sense of loneliness arose in her heart, and if she stopped, she felt that she would be swallowed up. Passing under a street lamp, she noticed that the ring on her hand was shining brightly, and she suddenly had a strong desire, she wanted to hear Xiang Fan's voice, and wanted to see his gentle appearance.
A horn sounded behind her, and she couldn't help but look back, she hoped that Xiang Fan would suddenly appear in front of her at this moment, but it was another powerful male voice that pierced her eardrums and went deep into her heart.
"Shen Yin! It turned out to be really you! Yan Pei rolled down the window and leaned on it with a surprised smile.
"It's been a long time, when did you come here to develop." She walked over and greeted him warmly.
Yan Pei tilted his head, "Get in the car first, let's sit down and have a good chat." ”
Shen Yin sat in the back seat, and Xiao Jin shouted vigilantly, looking at the dim environment in the car.
Yan Pei heard the cat bark and thought she lived nearby, "You live nearby?" ”
"No, I'm going to the landlord's house to pick up Xiao Jin, and I'm heading back."
"Would you like to come and sit at my house?" Yan Pei is still the same as before, and his speech is still so casual.
"No, we haven't been in touch for three years, how are you doing?" She reassured Kim and tried not to make it sound again.
"I just came here and opened a logistics company with a friend, but not long ago I couldn't run it for some reasons, so I withdrew my capital and went it alone, and now the income can barely survive." Yan Pei jokingly talked about his experience in recent years, "This is also thanks to my cousin's exemplary example, so that I can be like this." ”
"Haha...... But he's really good. ”
Zhao Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Mom, I think this week's days are good, then go and get the marriage certificate down this week, what do you think?" ”
Seeing that his son didn't object, Yang Feng looked at Zhao Xiaoyu, "It's okay, it's always just in case to prepare early." ”
Wang Mengliang put down his chopsticks, "I'm full, you eat slowly." He walked to the sofa and turned on the TV, which was playing a variety show, and he hated this kind of entertainment program that won the public's attention and had no deep meaning, so he was ready to change the channel. But as soon as he pressed the remote control, he was attracted to his gaze.
In the upper right corner are two red typed "live", and the TV is playing the award ceremony of the 28th Rising Star Cup Original Comic Contest, and he notices a familiar figure floating in front of the camera in the audience, and the woman in the champagne-colored long lace fall evening dress is none other than Shen Yin.
He unconsciously sat at the front, and as soon as the camera turned, Shen Yin's appearance appeared in the camera again, she held her skirt and walked up to the awards stage with a smile to greet the audience, "Hello everyone, I am Ying Xiaoxiao, the original creator of "Rebirth". ”
The screen behind her suddenly appeared on the cover of her comic book "Rebirth" and her art photo. The host of the award ceremony took the microphone and introduced the audience again, and the audience burst into warm applause.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's outstanding cartoonist Shen Yin, her work "Rebirth" won the first prize of the 28th Rising Star Cup Original Comic Competition, everyone applauded her, and she is also a rising star after the well-known domestic cartoonist Xia Yu......"
Wang Meng stared at the screen intently, not only excited, but also heartache, which was heartbreaking. The camera fell on Shen Yin's upper body, and a strand of hair on her left fell down to her mouth, so she secretly pinned her hair behind her ears when she received the trophy. The shot was short, but he still noticed that she was wearing a ring on the middle finger of her left hand.
He turned off the TV and locked himself in his room, the ring always in his mind, he sat up irritably, caught a glimpse of the laptop on the table, opened the browser inside, and typed in the words "rebirth comics".
The first page shows the new comic "Rebirth" of the little manga, and he clicks on this link, and the cover of the comic is the one introduced on TV. Half-lying in bed, he began to read "Rebirth."
The protagonist of the story is a girl who grew up in an orphanage, although the living conditions are difficult, but the girl has always maintained an innocent heart, mainly about the girl's interesting and inspirational life details from junior high school to college, and from marriage to the difficult process of becoming a single mother, although the language is simple, but the plot is compact, the picture is vivid, it can't help but give people a warm and healing feeling, so that readers still believe in the beauty of human nature and the fun of life after reading the comics.
Before he knew it, he had seen three o'clock in the morning, rubbing his swollen eyes, he felt a little dizzy, and rushed to get the painkillers that were on the bedside table. When he came out of the hospital this morning, the attending doctor told him that the bruising that had improved might compress the optic nerve, and that the most effective way at present was to have surgery to remove the blood clot, otherwise the situation would get worse and worse.
The vial rolled to the ground, and he sat up with his body bracing on, intending to pick it up.
Zhao Xiaoyu just got up to go to the toilet, and when he heard the movement in his room, he leaned on the door, "Knock knock!" She whispered inside, "Ah Liang, what's wrong with you?" ”
She put her hand on the doorknob, opened the door with a slight twist, turned on the light switch, Wang Mengliang was half lying on the bed with a painful expression, she hurriedly stepped forward and looked at him worriedly: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"That medicine bottle ......," Wang Mengliang stretched out his hand and pointed to the medicine bottle on the ground.
