The next day, in the café.

Chen Nan sat in the corner, tilting her head out of the glass window, her amber eyes had no focus on her gaze, she just looked at the busy street.

It stands to reason that she doesn't like such a crowded place, or rather, she likes simple things, such as drawing comics, as long as she picks up a pen and dips it in ink to draw on paper, and other troublesome mundane things can be put behind her, no need to think, no need to worry, as long as she devotes herself to the black and white framed by the square.

However, she had to come, to return to this colorful but distorted world.

"Chen Nan." Someone called her name, Chen Nan turned around, and saw Guo Pinyuan, who had come from the dust, pull out the seat opposite her and sit down.

"Been waiting a long time?" Guo Pinyuan put down his bag on the side and asked for a cup of coffee from the waiter who came with him.

"No, it's only been a short time." Chen Nan picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip.

To be honest, she doesn't really like the taste of coffee, and she usually drinks ordinary green tea, or plain water, but I don't know if it's a whim today, she ordered herself such a cup.

The sugar packet that came with the coffee was placed next to it and was not opened, Chen Nan frowned slightly because of the bitter taste that touched the tongue bud, she gently put down the coffee cup, and looked at Guo Pinyuan's clothes, which were already soaked with sweat.

Noticing Chen Nan's gaze, Guo Pinyuan explained: "Oh, I went to a nearby author to write just now, and I couldn't take a taxi when I came down, because it wasn't too far from here, so I came over." ”

Chen Nan didn't delve into it, but changed his words and said: "I went to Comiket yesterday and saw Liang Yu. ”

"Liang Yu......" mentioned this name, Guo Pinyuan was also deeply touched, obviously it didn't take long to meet, but he always felt a little empty in his heart. He glanced up at Chen Nan opposite, she still couldn't tell what she was thinking from the outside as always, but Chen Nan would go to Comiket, and the purpose of itself was to see Liang Yu. Guo Pinyuan didn't say anything, but just asked casually: "Is she okay?" ”

"Hmm." Answering a word plainly, Chen Nan lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

Guo Pinyuan sighed and said thoughtlessly: "It's a pity." ”

Although it was not the same as the bull's head above, Chen Nan understood what he meant.

The atmosphere was a little silent, and at this time, the waiter put the coffee ordered by Guo Pinyuan in front of him, and the latter lowered his head and took a sip, then wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said to Chen Nan: "Did you bring the manuscript?" ”

"Brought it." Chen Nan went to his side, opened the paper bag, and handed over a stack of comic manuscript paper.

Chen Nan and Guo Pinyuan made an appointment to meet in the café, in fact, just to review the manuscript, although Guo Pinyuan said that he could go to the studio to pick it up, but Chen Nan said that he had nothing to do, so he came by himself. However, it was not good to go to the editorial office, so I made an appointment outside.

Guo Pinyuan wiped his hands again, solemnly took the original manuscript from Chen Nan, and then flipped through it.

Chen Nan's painter, there is no need to talk nonsense anymore, the absolute best character in the entire Fantasy magazine, this time, the manuscript she handed over to Guo Pinyuan is a royal comic with a bloody fighting style. From the protagonist to the supporting roles, they are all handsome, with tall figures, or strong and burly, and the girls inside are also very cute, and with the finely drawn, futuristic clothes and backgrounds, this work is full of tension.

It can be said that if the painting style and composition are selected, Chen Nan can get full marks completely, but if this story continues to be watched, Guo Pinyuan doesn't know what to say. It's not that it's bad, but it's literal, and he just turned to the last page and had to read it again.

In a word, there is nothing that can make people shine or feel happy.

Even if you look at it again, things that are not brilliant will still not give birth to flowers, and the story described by Chen Nan takes place in the near future, when technology has been very developed and human life is changing with each passing day. Judging from the images drawn by Chen Nan, it can be seen that she has put a lot of effort into designing these metal-style buildings, and she can really feel the future, and it seems that she must have also consulted a lot of materials such as movies.

But there are some things that don't just mean that you draw well, because this is not an illustration but a comic, and you have to pay attention to the content. The storyline is not attractive, and even if you draw it well, it will not attract the interest of others to read it.

Chen Nan's story is a boiled water, a decent unfolding, a mysterious hostile force launched an attack on the earth, has been living in a comfortable environment, the earthlings who have been worn away from the past fighting and sense of crisis fell into a panic in the face of the sudden war, and then the savior was born.

Guo Pinyuan held his chin with his hand, staring at the manuscript paper and thinking about what words to use to evaluate, Chen Nan is an old cartoonist, and some things can't be said too directly, but if you don't say it but push it to the review meeting, Guo Pinyuan feels that he is too irresponsible.

Chen Nan is not a fool, in fact, she has already guessed when she sees Guo Pinyuan's reaction.

"Say whatever you want." I have known Guo Pinyuan for so long, Chen Nan believes in his vision as an editor, and the same thing is not unexperienced, after she submitted to Fantasy for the first time, Guo Pinyuan became her editor-in-charge, she kept being rejected, then redrawn, and continued to submit and then rejected, this experience lasted for half a year. At that time, Chen Nan had to work a job in order to save the manuscript paper and ink for painting, which was impossible to compare with the current conditions.

She took a deep breath and looked at Guo Pinyuan seriously: "I'm not a novice anymore, if I can't do it, just make up for the shortcomings and redraw, I don't want to be left behind." ”

"......" Guo Pinyuan felt the power of her words from Chen Nan's words.

Yes, if you want to be strong, Chen Nan is the most resilient of all the authors he has ever seen, and that persistence is definitely not lost to those male authors. He still clearly remembers that in the winter, he said that your work is not good for the time being, but the painting is very good, and after it needs to be sharpened, the girl whose name sounds a little boyish really sends a work to the editorial department every month, and has been defeated again and again.

And those works don't seem to fool people, each one is thought out and spent a lot of effort. From the gradual precipitation and sudden improvement of painting skills, we can clearly glimpse this, to be honest, when he first found Liang Yu, he immediately remembered the girl who was very good at painting and persevering.

As he sighed before, these two girls, it's a pity......

But soon, Guo Pinyuan picked up the useless sentimentality, because what was placed in front of him was a pair of eyes that were tough in the face of difficulties.

Guo Pinyuan quickly regained the image of an editor, and became more serious, pushing Chen Nan's sketch to the center of the table, and explaining the inappropriateness in front of her.

Outside the window, a bird perched in the treetops rolled its pupils, then spread its wings and flew into the blue sky.
