After taking several deep breaths in a row, Guo Pinyuan seemed to have made up his mind, took out the remaining stack of storyboards from the box, put them at the head of his desk, and began to open them.

At first, Guo Pinyuan's eyebrows were furrowed, but he quickly stretched them out, until he finished reading all the storyboards, and then put his hand against his forehead again, becoming very troubled.

The editors on the side were puzzled by his reaction, and some of the editors who passed by took advantage of the situation and asked: "Lao Guo, what is this box of manuscripts, and who sent the things at the bottom of the box?" ”

The editor wanted to take the manuscript on Guo Pinyuan's desk and flip it over to satisfy his curiosity, but before he could reach out, he was taken by Guo Pinyuan, who reacted, and then hurriedly put the manuscript back into the box and stood up from the chair: "I'm sorry, I remembered that there is another very important thing that must be done immediately!" ”

"What about the afternoon group leader's meeting?"

"I'll try to get back before that time, and if I don't arrive, I'll take a leave of absence." Guo Pinyuan picked up the backpack again, hung it on his shoulder, and then picked up the box and went out.

"Yes, but it can be ......"

The editor looked at the back of Guo Pinyuan leaving in a hurry, and asked the left and right on the side: "What's wrong with Lao Guo, is something wrong with the family?" ”

The other editors shrugged their shoulders inexplicably.

Coming down from the office building of the White Bird Society, Guo Pinyuan casually stopped a car on the side of the road.

"Go to Luo Yu in the eastern suburbs." Guo Pinyuan, who got into the car, reported the name of the place to the driver, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Nan.

"Hey, it's me."

"Chen Nan, are you in the studio now?"

"Hmm...... What's wrong? ”

"I'm coming over now, the specific phone call is not clear, you wait for me to come, if the assistant is coming today, let them go back first."

The voice on the other side of the phone was cut off for a moment, and then said, "It's Liang Yu's business, I know." ”

Saying this, he hung up the phone, Guo Pinyuan's heart was also uncomfortable, he glanced at the cardboard box next to him again, and fell into silence.

After driving all the way east from the White Bird Building, and falling downstairs to Chen Nan's studio, Guo Pinyuan paid and got out of the car, and even forgot to ask the taxi driver for the ticket for reimbursement.

Carrying the box upstairs, he found that Chen Nan's studio was ajar, and the door was left for him, and Guo Pinyuan went straight into the room.

Entering the living room, Chen Nan was still painting on the desk, but Guo Pinyuan, who was already familiar with this scene, saw that she was a little absent-minded today, usually quite focused on drawing paper, and turned a deaf ear to other things, but today she quickly noticed that Guo Pinyuan came in.

"Yo." Guo Pinyuan pretended to say hello cheerfully.

Chen Nan nodded, put down the pen in his hand, got up and walked towards the kitchen: "I'll make you a cup of tea." ”

Guo Pinyuan sat down on the crowded sofa in the living room, looked up at the wall clock, and then wrung his fingers, thinking about how the next conversation would unfold, and before he could think of a foolproof strategy, Chen Nan had already come over from the kitchen with a teacup.

In fact, there is nothing perfect in this world, seeing Chen Nan who put down the teacup on the coffee table and was locked on the box brought by Guo Pinyuan, Guo Pinyuan scratched his scalp: "This is the storyboard brought to me by Liang Yutuo." ”

Chen Nan's eyes lit up, but he quickly became puzzled again: "These are these?" ”

Guo Pinyuan picked up the box and handed it to Chen Nan: "Take a look." ”

Chen Nan pursed his lips, to be honest, now that Guo Pinyuan has brought the manuscript, he has helped a little, although he can't catch up with the serialization of this issue, but the next issue will not have to be suspended in such a confused way. It should have been a good thing, but for some reason, Chen Nan felt a trace of a bad feeling, she looked up and observed Guo Pinyuan's reaction, trying to find the answer from the other party's face, but the other party swam out of sight and reached out to hold the teacup on the table.

Chen Nan went to the side and pulled the chairs of a group of assistants, and then opened the storyboard in turn in the order of numbers.

Her expression was almost exactly the same as when Guo Pinyuan read the manuscript, and when she saw the scene of Zuo Wei disappearing, she finally couldn't sit still, and went directly to the bottom of a bunch of storyboards and turned out the last one, and then went to the last page......

"What does she mean!" Chen Nan couldn't hold it anymore, and directly smashed the storyboard in his hand on the table, and slapped the case: "Letting my temperament go again and again, I'm fed up, I'm really fed up!" ”

"Chen Nan......" Guo Pinyuan sat on the opposite side of the table and opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak and stopped.

He watched the establishment of this group from the very beginning, from the first submission, co-creation, to the impact of the Red Dragon Award, as a winner officially debuted as a cartoonist, not so much that he is an editor who observes from the side, it is better to say that Guo Pinyuan himself is also deeply involved in it, so for the work "Chess Soul", no, it should be said that the combination of Chen Nan and Liang Yu, his feelings are deeper than others.

He thought he would be more impulsive about it, but in reality, he found that he didn't have much mood swings other than surprise. In other words, this situation is not too unexpected.

The signs have long been indicated, but no one wants to touch them, so they hide it like this, let it continue naturally over time, but the contradiction is not like a wound, which will be healed and healed over time, but will be expressed in the strongest way at a certain moment.

It's just that no one thought that it would be in such a way and with such a resolute attitude.

Chen Nan gritted his teeth, went to his desk and grabbed his mobile phone, and began to call Liang Yu.

Although she had already foreseen the result in her heart, when she heard the unreachable prompt tone, Chen Nan still felt that her heart was being pinched hard, and when she ran out of the door in a daze, she was stopped by Guo Pinyuan.

"What are you going to do?" Guo Pinyuan asked.

"Go find her and ask what the hell is going on."

"And then?"

"......" Chen Nan's movements stopped, it felt like the overclocking machine suddenly turned off, yes, even if he rushed over blindly like this now, maybe he would repeat the mistakes of the last time, and even if he saw her, now, many things have become different from the beginning, and they have become irreversible.

"Liang Yu, she ......" Chen Nan felt that she should have complained and got angry, and even reprimanded the other party mercilessly, which was more in line with her character, but at the moment her mind was a mess, not to mention refutation and complaining, she couldn't even say a complete word, Chen Nan frowned, clenched her fists, and soon let go again.

"Chen Nan?" Guo Pinyuan looked at her worriedly, for fear that she would be too emotional and do stupid things now, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry about this matter, after we get in touch with Liang Yu, we will ask her what she means, maybe she doesn't want to end the chess soul." ”

Guo Pinyuan himself didn't believe it.

"Nope." This time, the person who gave a clear refusal was Chen Nan, she broke away from Guo Pinyuan's hand, but did not let her impulse run out, but chose to return to the chair she had sat on before, and picked up the rest of the storyboards: "Liang Yu has already given the answer, if this is the way she expects it to end......"

In a word, cut off all retreats.
