Spacious and bright manga company conference room.

Zhou Manman's fingers stirred back and forth, hiding under the table a little nervously, his eyes never left the small piece of desktop in front of him, holding his breath and not daring to make a sound, as if waiting for the verdict to be announced.

In the conference room, only the sound of the person on the other side breathing sounded, beating Zhou Manman's heart again and again.

"Miss Zhou."

Hearing the voice of the person opposite, Zhou Manman hurriedly raised his head in response.

"Yes."

The man slowly looked up, fingertips flicking his fingertips and placing a stack of drawings on the table.

"Miss Zhou, I have seen the works of the previous competition, and the style of your works is very much in line with my expectations."

Zhou Manman's heart hanging in the air was a little fluttering, but he still didn't dare to take a big breath.

"Your work today."

The man's voice paused, and Zhou Manman only heard the sound of saliva swallowing, but he didn't expect it to be as long as a century.

"It was perfect." The man's voice was unhurried, and he said word by word.

Four words, the words are powerful, and they smashed into Zhou Manman's heart.

Finally, the cold air poured into her nose and she breathed heavily.

"You haven't graduated yet, have you?" The man spoke.

"Yes, two more years." Zhou Manman echoed.

"By the way, what did you major in college?" The man leaned back, leaning back in his chair and looking at her.

"Painting major." Zhou Manman replied.

"Well, the impact of your work in the last comic contest was also good, and the company is very satisfied with the publicity effect."

Zhou Manman didn't know how to answer, so he could only continue to smile at the man, feeling that the muscles on his face were pulling a little hard.

"Well, let's be Amy's assistant during this time and practice your storyboard skills."

"Can't you create your own?" Zhou Manman glanced at the pile of comics on the table, which was the result of his all-nighter for a week, and his expression was a little disappointed.

The man noticed Zhou Manman's gaze staying, "Oh, keep this first, your story is very good, it's just a general storyboard, but it's very malleable, follow Amy for a while, she is our very top cartoonist, I believe you will learn a lot." ”

"Okay, I'll try!" Zhou Manman's confidence instantly doubled, and he nodded in agreement.

Outside the conference room, Wang Fei, the person in charge, saw Zhou Manman walking out, and first nodded and greeted the person in front of him, "Mr. Wang." ”

"Hmm." The man answered and walked away.

"How's it going?" Wang Fei eagerly approached her.

"Mr. Wang, I took a lot of effort to invite him." Wang Fei held his head high proudly, "Manman, to be honest, your comics are really great, I don't want to just sign you casually and drown you in a group of inactive cartoonists." ”

Zhou Manman can feel that Wang Fei's support for her is still very strong.

"Recommending you to the upper leadership will give you more room for growth, and more people will be able to see you, of course, this is also a small achievement of mine."

"Thank you, Phineas." Zhou Manman nodded in thanks. "Mr. Wang said, first be Sister Amy's assistant and learn storyboard skills."

"Uh-huh, you were supposed to be the first place in the competition to sign a contract to launch a work, but you don't have a foundation in drawing comics, and the upper echelons of the company have a different point of view." Wang Fei shook his head a little regretfully, "It still takes a while to learn, but fortunately, you have a good professional foundation, and you should be able to create independently soon." ”

"Uh-huh." Zhou Manman is looking forward to it.

Coming out of the comic company, Zhou Manman raised his wrist and looked at the time, today's school classes are in the evening, the time is still relatively rich, she is going to go to the training hall, although today's schedule is not hers, but she can't wait to share today's good news with Sister Bu.

"Manman, have you heard?" As soon as Zhou Manman came to the duty room of the training hall, Sister Bu's gossip head poked over.

"Shirakawa Canghe is coming back."

"What?" When Zhou Manman heard the news, his mind was full of surprise, "No, isn't he banned?" Didn't you let him come? ”

She didn't care about putting down what she was doing, and came to Sister Bu's side, "Is the ban canceled?" Has Baichuan Canghe washed away his grievances? ”

"Nope." Sister Bu shook her head, "I heard that he insisted on coming and trained at his own expense." ”

Hearing this answer, Zhou Manman's head drooped again excitedly, training at her own expense, she remembered the discussion in Weibochaohua, Bai Chuan Canghe has to compensate a lot of money for this incident, and now he has to train at his own expense, Zhou Manman can't help but be a little worried.

"I won't tell you yet, Manman, the TV station is coming over to shoot today, let me go over and pack up first." After speaking, Sister Bu went to the venue with her tools.

"Hurry up, get in place, and check the machine again." The director sat outside the ice rink, holding a big walkie-talkie in his hand, feeling that his own voice was going to overshadow the volume of the walkie-talkie.

"Athletes don't look at us, just train normally."

"Sister Bu, let's see if there is any problem with the ice." The instructor turned around and said.

Sister Bu had just gotten on the ice to prepare for the inspection, when she saw a figure appear around the venue.

"Shirakawa." The instructor came to his side and said a little apologetically: "Director Liang brought someone over to shoot a documentary today, and it needs to be cleared, you can watch ......it."

The instructor's expression was a little embarrassed, and he rubbed his hands and didn't know how to continue.

"What time is the shooting?" Shirakawa Canghe didn't speak, no one told him that there would be a shooting task in the training hall today, "I can wait for the filming to end." ”

"It could be a long time." After the instructor finished speaking, he looked nervously in the direction of the gate of the training hall, Liang Jinping had not come yet, if she came and saw Bai Chuan Canghe coming to the training hall, but he didn't greet her, she would definitely lose her temper again.

"It's okay, then I'll wait a while." After speaking, Shirakawa Canghe stepped on his skates and left the ice, and casually found a stand where no one was there and sat down.

"Shirakawa." Zhou Manman shouted in a low voice.

Shirakawa Canghe, who was sitting in the stands, heard the sound, looked up and looked around for the source of the sound, poked out half of his head around the corner, and beckoned to him.

"Shirakawa, come over here." Zhou Manman shouted as he looked around to see if anyone had noticed.

"It's you." Although Shirakawa Canghe was full of puzzlement, he still walked to her side.

"Shirakawa, is your foot injury healed? Can you get on the ice? She gestured to her foot wrapped in her skates.

"Hmm." Shirakawa Canghe withdrew the injured foot behind him and agreed.

"Today they were shooting, and they couldn't get on the ice." Zhou Manman pretended to be casual and said.

"Hmm." Bai Chuan Canghe frowned slightly, this girl called herself over, just to reiterate this fact?

"I know a place, do you want to go?" Zhou Manman pulled Baichuan Canghe over and said, "It's a little far from here, but it's also a good place." ”

Bai Chuan Canghe didn't speak, looked down at the girl in front of him and still said, "Although the place is smaller, you can still live the addiction on your feet." ”

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Manman thought that he was not satisfied with his proposal, and continued a little overwhelmed: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, or let's wait here for the end of the shooting." ”

"Let's go." Shirakawa Canghe said, took off the skates on his feet, and changed into sneakers.

The two slipped out of the side door while everyone in the training hall was busy filming.

On the bus, the two sat in the same row, Shirakawa Canghe wore a black mask, looking out the window at the building that was hurriedly retreating.

"Where are we going?"

Looking out the window as the buildings gradually decreased, replaced by rows of bare trees, this mysterious place seemed to be a little far away.

"I have a secret base, on the edge of the city, you will know when you get there." Zhou Manman winked at him, his tone mysterious.

Shirakawa Canghe nodded, and turned his head to look out the window again.

After getting out of the car, the two walked one after the other, crossing a short stretch of dry thorn bushes, and the white river Canghe behind them let out a soft chirping sound.

"Hiss......"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Manman hurriedly looked back.

"It's fine." Seeing her turn around, Shirakawa Canghe, who just wanted to squat down and check her ankles, stood up, "It seems that I stepped on something." ”

"Oh, be careful, it's a little hard to get around, but it's coming soon." As he spoke, Zhou Manman pulled away the dry grass on both sides and tried to make this road less obstructive.

"This is the secret base you are talking about?" Shirakawa Canghe looked at the frozen lake in front of him and said that it was not big or small.

"How? Doesn't it look good? Zhou Manman was a little proud, saying that she stepped on the ice, because of the weather, the ice here was very thick.

"Wouldn't it be safe?" Bai Chuan Canghe's facial muscles twitched a little, he glanced at the skates he was carrying in his hand, and said a little uneasy.

"Ah......" Zhou Man, who stepped on the ice, looked back at Baichuan Canghe on the shore, she seemed to ...... Really didn't think about it.

"Shirakawa, don't come down yet, I'll try it for you." After speaking, she waved her hand at Baichuan Canghe, and stepped around on the ice in sneakers.

"Zhou Manman, be careful." Shirakawa Canghe said.

The voice was flickering, and the white breath coming out of his mouth was far away.

This sentence seems to be familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.

"He Manman, be careful." A voice seemed to rise behind Shirakawa Canghe, and he quickly turned around to look for it.

"Brother Shirakawa, this place you're looking for is amazing!" The two chubby little hands took off the protective covers on their skates three times and divided them by two, and almost jumped on the ice.

"He Manman, don't jump lightly, the lake will be cracked by you." Shirakawa Canghe behind him looked nervous.

"Didn't you say you've been here many times? It's safe! He Manman waved his hands and glided wantonly across the ice.

"It's a lot more fun than the training hall, Brother Shirakawa!"

Bai Chuan Canghe looked at He Manman, who was elated on the lake, with a smile in his eyes, he finally had a chance to make her happy once.

"Brother Shirakawa, I like the birthday gift you gave me." She slid to Shirakawa Canghe's side, whispered in his ear, and ran away on the ice after speaking.

"Brother Shirakawa, come and chase me!" Soft laughter wafted across the lake.

It was He Manman's birthday that day, and she pestered herself to give her a gift, but Shirakawa Canghe rummaged through her worn-out pockets, and really had no pocket money, looking at her mother's busy back, she wanted to ask her mother for money to buy gifts several times, but she was swallowed alive.

Until he thought of taking her to his paradise where he secretly practiced skating.

"He Manman, you're sliding too slowly, I'm about to catch up with you." As he spoke, he pretended to reach out and grab her.

"Ah~" He Man screamed and slid forward, but he didn't expect to tripped over a small stone that was firmly wrapped in ice and only half of his head was exposed.

Because of inertia, she threw herself forward, and the whole person fell straight there, and in an instant, her hands were stained with bright red blood.

"Ahh

An ear-piercing scream pulled Shirakawa Canghe back to reality.

Zhou Manman fell into the lake!
