3, plum soup and midsummer 3(1/2)

Shi Yin felt that Editor Gu seemed to be becoming more and more humorous as he got older.

Although this kind of cold humor still makes people feel a little angry.

She pushed her sketchbook forward, leaned back in her chair, sneered, grinded her teeth, remained calm, and even joked in a good-tempered way: "It's okay, you can block me again."

After waiting for three minutes, there was no reply.

Don't you know what to say?

Shi Yin thought about it and felt that it was not impossible for him to be considerate at all. He carefully selected a cute but cold expression from the emoticon package and sent it to express his half-truth and half-false dissatisfaction.

This time, a prompt pops up under the green bubble.

——The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party.

"..."

Shi Yin:?????

Shi Yin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Sitting opposite, Shi's mother watched her face change like a palette after picking up the phone. She patted the table with dissatisfaction to make her presence felt: "I'm talking to you! You can't even talk to me now?"

Are you turning a blind eye? What do you think of your mother!"

Shi Yin acted as if he hadn't heard anything, staring straight at the WeChat interface on his phone, and said bitterly: "You bastard..."

Shi Mu: "..."

The next second, a sharp soprano resounded throughout the cafe: "Shi Yin?! I think you are about to go to heaven?!?!?!"

In the end, Shi Yin cried like a ghost and agreed to meet the elite man who worked in the bank that Shi's mother mentioned, but Shi's mother reluctantly spared her life and did not beat her to death on the spot.

Shi's mother originally meant to add a WeChat chat first, but Shi Yin thought it was unnecessary and stuffed the sketchbook into her bag: "There's no need to add it now. We'll meet in person first and see if we can chat."

WeChat is also fine." She paused, then whispered, "Otherwise I have to delete it..."

Shi's mother's ears were very good, and her anger was still not gone, so she raised her hand and poked her in the head with a look of hatred: "When we meet, you should treat her well, behave well, and don't cause any messy things for me!"

Shi Yin didn't dare to make any mistakes and nodded obediently.

Shi's mother thought for a while and then said: "There's no need to behave well. It's my daughter who chooses the man, so he should behave well. You can be more casual or aggressive."

Shi Yin: "..."

Shi's mother was going shopping and drinking tea with her little sisters in the afternoon. She didn't chat with Shi Yin for long and was in a hurry to get her beauty treatment done.

In the afternoon, the news came, saying that I had made an agreement with them. It was at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Jinding, at 5:30 on Saturday night. I sent a phone number by the way. Note later, Lin Yuan.

Shi Yin casually glanced at his phone and threw it away. He didn't care and continued to read the comics in his hand.

Shi Yi's first full-length comic was serialized for three years, which is not a short period of time. However, after all, it was only her first full-length work. She was undoubtedly a newcomer in the comics industry.

Before Editor Zhao left, the last thing he told her was the Summer Comic Newcomer Award held every July to early August.

Shi Yin had participated once before, but the average quality of that session was average and there were no outstanding works. There was no suspense about Shi Yin's championship.

Later, she started to draw a long series, so she didn't have the energy to participate. This year, her long series was coming to an end, and the editor wanted her to use the first chapter of the new series to participate in the new series to see the effect and to get popular.

The comic book Shi Yin is holding now is also the winner of the Newcomer Award last year, and this person will also participate this year.

It's called sweet apple candy.

Looking at this pen name, Shi Yin could even picture a loli wearing a Lolita dress holding a tablet in her arms while coloring.

Sweet Apple Candy is worthy of her pen name. The story is very girlish, and the painting style is also very sweet. The brushwork is delicate and the colors are bright. It is very eye-catching as soon as you glance at it, making Shi Yin very envious.

Shi Yin's weakness lies in color pictures.

Unfortunately, there is basically no outlet for black and white comics in China now, with color comics taking over.

Shi Yin put the sweet apple candy cartoon on his face and wrinkled his nose unhappily.

The book slowly slid down from his face and fell on his lap. There was a soft smacking sound, which was very clear in the quiet house.

Shi Yin felt so sad hearing this empty sound.

She straightened up with a wrinkled face, took her cell phone from the coffee table, and sent Editor Zhao a WeChat message: [Brother Zhao ah ah ah ah ah ah]

Editor Zhao:【?】

Shi Yin:【I really miss you.】

Editor Zhao was silent for half a minute before carefully replying: [Teacher Shi Yi, please don’t do this, my child is already three years old.]

"..."

Shi Yin was speechless for three seconds, then regained his energy and began to accuse Editor Gu of his atrocities, weeping every word.

[Brother Zhao, to be honest, I have never seen Editor Gu again since that last glimpse at my door.]

【Never saw him once, not once.】

[Didn’t even speak.]

[I went to add him on WeChat, but he didn’t add me.]

[Finally added me, but he said he made the wrong call.]

[Just click the wrong one, he blocked me again.]

【This is too cheap!?!?!?!】

【Brother Zhao!!! My life is so hard!!!】

[I miss you, I miss you, I want to send you text messages, I want to send you condolences]

[I miss the day when you would help me change the storyboards and post the dots for me.]

[Why do you want me to change editors! I don’t want it! I don’t want to change it! He won’t give me any outlets either! He won’t discuss new serials with me either, I don’t want him!!!]

[He didn’t even add me on WeChat!!!]

Shi Yin finished typing in one breath, and most of the depression in his heart dissipated. He took a deep breath and lazily leaned back on the sofa again.

Editor Zhao was quiet for a while and then replied slowly: [The editor-in-chief was watching next to me just now.]

Shi Yin: "..."

Editor Zhao continued: [He is standing up now.]

Shi Yin:【……?】

Editor Zhao was quite gloating: [Oh, he went out, maybe he went to settle a score with you.]

"..."

After three seconds of silence, Shi Yin silently scrolled up the chat history and reviewed what he had just said.

Shi Yin closed his eyes in despair.

Ever since she met Gu Congli, things seemed to be going wrong for her.

This man is so unlucky that his teeth are choked even after taking a sip of cold water.

She said so many treacherous words, all of which were seen by Gu Congli, who must have come to seduce her and take her life.

Shi Yin sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking at her watch while calculating the time it would take to drive from Yaoguangshe to her home, and began to write a short composition quickly in her mind, simulating various situations that would arise when she and Gu Congli met for the second time.

and situation.

For about half an hour, she listed everything Gu Congli might say, and thought of a suitable response strategy before taking a deep breath and getting ready to fight.

Counting the time, he should be arriving soon.

Shi Yin straightened his back and sat quietly for a minute, then suddenly remembered something, stood up and ran into the bathroom, washed his face, rushed to the dressing table in the bedroom, and started putting on makeup.

There is a kind of makeup called nude makeup.

Shi Yin sprayed the beauty sponge on, concealed the two dark circles under her eyes, put on a thin layer of foundation, blushed and looked very natural, and didn't even apply mascara.

She looked at herself in the mirror and wondered if she should change her clothes.

It's better not to change into pajamas. Pajamas look more natural, otherwise it will look like you are dressed up and waiting for him to come.

With everything ready, Shi Yin took out a bottle of ice-cold plum juice from the refrigerator, and calmly sat on the sofa, with comic books spread out on the coffee table in front of him.

Shi Yin even fumbled over with a small mirror and posed in several poses, wondering which one was better.

As a result, it lasted another half an hour.

Gu Congli hasn't come yet.

An hour ago, didn't Editor Zhao say he was out?

Shi Yin's legs were numb from sitting, so she changed her position and decided to give him another half hour.

The doorbell is as quiet as a chicken, making no sound at all.

Shi Yin finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She grabbed her phone and sent a WeChat message to Editor Zhao: [Brother Zhao, is Editor Gu here?]

Editor Zhao is always very fast in replying to messages, and this time he replied in seconds. The words were filled with confusion: [Ah? Where are you from?]
To be continued...
