Years of painting GL

When Shen Chai's car rushed to the parking lot, the party hadn't started yet.

She breathed a sigh of relief, took out her lipstick and foundation and simply touched up her makeup, then stuffed the makeup into her bag in disgust.He complained in a low voice, 'If it wasn't for the dinner party that required makeup, I wouldn't have changed it, it was thick on my face. 'As she spoke, she made a playful expression and looked at Xia Yu in the blink of an eye.

Xia Yu, who was sitting next to her, was amused by her, and tried hard to restrain herself.

Shen Chai looked at her and smiled too.She opened the car door, then walked to the other side of the car, and opened the door for Xia Yu like a gentleman, 'here, get out of the car, my lady. The corner of her mouth raised a handsome arc, then bent slightly and stretched out her hand.

Xia Yu blushed a bit, feeling a little embarrassed.But looking at Shen Chai's sincere and enthusiastic eyes and a pair of slender but scarred hands in front of her, she stretched out her hand and put it gently on Shen Chai's hand.

She felt her body lighten, shifted her weight to her hands, and was helped out of the car by Shen Chai.

'Let's go. ' Shen Chai seemed to be holding her hand gently, but with irresistible strength.

She smiled and held Shen Chai's hand tightly, and handed everything over to her.

In front of you is a resplendent and resplendent hotel, the exterior glass reflecting a luxurious luster.

Xia Yu felt as though her throat was being choked and it was difficult to breathe. She frowned slightly and trembled slightly, feeling uneasy and disgust welling up in her heart.If she hadn't been led by Shen Chai, she might have left long ago.

The subtle movement was transmitted to Shen Chai who was walking in front through her tightly clenched palms. She turned her head towards the arc of Xia Yu's slightly raised mouth, loosened her tightly clenched hands, and then clenched them tightly again.Inexplicably, Xia Yu felt at ease.

In the elevator, she looked back at the radiant mirror and straightened her hair.It seemed to be saying something to Xia Yu, but it was more like a self-deprecating 'upstart'. 'She looked into Xia Yu's eyes through the mirror' We are going to a banquet.Well, it's Shi Nian Hua's annual meeting. "Just last year, Liu Yan took over her Shi Nian Hua, and now holding an annual meeting to celebrate the one-year anniversary, in her eyes, is more like a show off by the winner.She didn't want to come, or she couldn't bear to come.But she has to come, because she is now the art editor of Shi Nianhua, and because this is the best opportunity to broaden Xia Yu's network.

She didn't want Xia Yu to face these things, but she knew that she would have to face them one day.That being the case, let's get used to it as soon as possible.

She led the dazed Xia Yu down the elevator, and handed the invitation to the concierge, with a perfect and alienated expression on the corner of her mouth, as if she had changed into a different person.

Looking at Shen Chai like this, Xia Yu couldn't help trembling.It was the hands that were still tightly clasped that gave her strength.

For Shen Chai, the former editor-in-chief of Shi Nianhua, the next step is undoubtedly a fierce battle.

Shen Chai turned her head and said to Xia Yu in a voice that only two people could hear, "Don't be afraid, someone will take pictures when you go in later, you don't have to do anything deliberately, just keep to yourself."After entering, don't separate from me, and leave all problems to me. '

Xia Yu nodded slightly.It is possible that Shen Chai's mood of being a warlord infected her, and she also became serious.But because of the person holding it, he has unprecedented confidence.

In the long corridor hangs a huge poster of the cover of the [-] issues in the year after Liu Yan took over Shi Nian Hua.

It seems that he deliberately wanted to erase his traces, Shen Chai thought helplessly.

The one closest to the door is the latest issue, the cherry blossoms painted by Xia Yu.

Both saw it, looked at each other, and smiled.Then, adjust your mood and walk into the banquet hall.

Crackling, the sound of flashing lights, Xia Yu was still surprised even though she was prepared in her heart.However, she quickly calmed down, between the fingers intertwined, it was Shen Chai's strong and calm pulse, which reassured her.

She smiled, naturally, even more perfect than Shen Chai.She didn't realize it herself, she had changed a lot, she was no longer that shy girl with low self-esteem.

When the sound of the camera gradually subsided, both of them calmed down.There was a hint of sarcasm on Shen Chai's face, where did he find someone to make such a fuss.

She smiled, nodded, and greeted everyone with a patterned smile.

She walked up to her peers and colleagues who were editors of the United States, and introduced Xia Yu to them.

She said similar things tirelessly, and smiled apologetically, "This is Xia Yu, the author of Sakura on the cover of this issue."Please take care of me. '

'Young talents are handsome, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and newcomers come forth in large numbers. '

'Sister Shen is too polite, how can I bear it, please take care of me. '

'Are you still accepting manuscripts, this issue...'

..........

Shen Chai has a very good reputation in the industry. Almost everyone, either because they appreciate Xia Yu's strength, or because of Shen Chai's face, gave them good reviews.

I can only do this, the rest depends on your luck.Shen Chai looked at Xia Yu from the corner of her eye, thinking silently.

'Sister Shen, Editor-in-Chief Liu is calling you. A young editor who just came for an internship called out to Shen Chai out of breath. 'I found you. ' she whispered again.

'Oh, I see. ' Shen Chai responded softly with a smile.

What should come is still coming, she will not hide, because she is already prepared.

She nodded to the person who was chatting, 'I'm sorry, I have to go first, the editor-in-chief is looking for me. 'As she spoke, she pretended to shrug helplessly and smiled.

'Understand, understand, we are all peers.Go ahead. 'They all have a very understanding expression.

She gently pulled Xia Yu aside, increased the strength of holding her hand, and gently asked with a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Can you be alone?"

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly.Even if she couldn't bear being alone in such an occasion, she didn't want to cause Shen Chai any more trouble.

'Sister Shen, go do your work, it doesn't matter if I'm alone. '

She will grow up one day, and sooner or later she will have to face all this alone.

Shen Chai let go of Xia Yu's hand in relief, and patted her on the shoulder lightly, her thin lips curled up beautifully, this was her most genuine smile.

Xia Yu watched Shen Chai's back when she left, with reluctance but firmness in her eyes.

Since, she has hope in her, she will not let her down.

She walked forward resolutely, rushing to the battlefield that she could only face alone.The warm remaining temperature in her hand is the strength Xia Yu gave her.

This is her unprecedented determination.

When she reached the side of the podium, Liu Yan was already waiting there.

He nodded at her with a chuckle, but the smile couldn't reach his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Xia Yu understood, she had confirmed what she was about to face.Although already know.What Xia Yu returned to him was a colder smile.

'Next, I would like to invite Ms. Shen Chai, the art editor of our magazine, to speak. ' As if he was afraid that Shen Chai would run away, he said immediately after being confirmed. Shen Chai also has another identity, that is, the former editor-in-chief of Shi Nianhua. 'He aggravated the ex, although he was usually reluctant to mention it, but he knew that some accounts had to be settled.

That year she completed almost all the illustrations and typesetting of the first Shi Nian Hua.She impressed everyone who ever ordered the magazine.She once propped up the Shi Nianhua by herself, and the magazines that existed because of her were also deeply imprinted on her, which no one can erase.Her fate, from that moment on, has been forever entangled with Shi Nianhui.

It's the former editor-in-chief, but it doesn't mention the founder, right?

Shen Chai walked to the Hongmen Banquet specially arranged for her, and looked around.She saw the full house of colleagues in the publishing industry and Su Nian who deliberately sat in the corner with a pale face.She smiled, it was an elegant smile that could not be seen as mean.

Besieged on all sides, soldiers are approaching the city.If she speaks well, forget it, but if she says something that shouldn't be said, it will provide a reason for Liu Yan to fire her.Even Su Nian can't help it.

'Everyone has a period of time, ten years for painting. She said calmly, with a icy smile on her face, "This is an agreement between me and a person, and it is the original intention and motivation of Shi Nianhui.That person is my girlfriend. ' She seemed to be immersed in her own world and continued on by herself, but in fact she was more sober than anyone else.

She glanced at Su Nian, who was already pale, with a sweet smile that shouldn't belong to her. "When I was just starting out, she was already a famous writer. I have been chasing her, hoping To be with her.Then we co-founded Shi Nian Hua. '

She restrained her expression and ended the memory.At that moment, a gentle smile reappeared on Su Nian's pale face. "It is Mr. Liu who gave Shi Nianhui a future, and also gave me a platform.I am really grateful to him for allowing me to continue appearing in Shi Nian Hui as an art editor. She bowed deeply, facing Liu Yan in the audience, with a sarcastic smile on her face under the shadow.

From the audience, a sharp female voice suddenly appeared, interrupting her speech. "It is said that you used to be a painter, and the first Shi Nian Hui once received wide attention because of your paintings, so why don't you paint now?" On the surface, it is a sincere inquiry on behalf of readers, but in fact it is Hidden killing intent.

Shen Chai's pupils tightened suddenly, and she stared at the source of the voice, which was beside Liu Yan.It seems that he said that he is determined to make himself look good.

A first-class magazine has the absolute right to fire an art editor who has a crippled hand.Even if she is not fired, she will not hold such an important position as art director again.

According to her temper... He seems to have seen the signed resignation letter placed on the table the next day.If that's the case, Su Nian can't say anything.

Today, in Liu Yan's eyes, it is destined to be an era of changing dynasties, and there will be no more Shenchai.There was a cold smile in his eyes.Just now, he whispered a few times next to the secretary.

Su Nian, who was sitting next to her, couldn't hear what they said, but when the woman spoke, she understood everything.She looked at Liu Yan with deep despair and helplessness in her eyes.He still wanted to break his oath and drive her to a dead end.

Liu Yan sensed Su Nian's emotions, he didn't look at her, he just stared at the podium and the woman under the light.At this point, no one can stop him.

Shen Chai quickly calmed down, and she straightened out Wu Wu's messy hair.With a cruel smile on her face, she gently raised her right hand and turned it over.Sooner or later, she will have to say it. If she doesn't speak out, she believes that this matter will also be exposed. He is determined to let her go.Although it is in an unfavorable situation of being controlled by others, if she speaks out, the initiative will be in her hands, and she calmly analyzes strand by strand.She even thought about the consequences, the worst would be to leave Shi Nianhui, she has nothing to be afraid of, she believes that she is powerful enough to kill Liu Yan before leaving.

A ray of strong light hit her hand at the right time, and the scar across her right hand appeared in everyone's eyes.

Quiet, there was a dead silence in the field.They stared blankly at her raised hand.Slender and slender fingers, round knuckles...but...

Like a torrential rain, there was a very brief burst of whispering discussions.Soon the sound became louder and louder, as if a pot had exploded.

As if being guided by someone, words like "then you can still be an editor" spread during the meeting.

'As you can see, I can no longer hold a brush, I can no longer draw. 'Her face is unaffected, the most authentic and plain.

In their eyes, there was suspicion, scrutiny, and pity... No matter what kind of eyes they were, she was used to them.

She straightened her back, stood proudly, and met their eyes.The indescribable stalwart also has an indescribable loneliness.Finally, it doesn't matter whether it's over or not, she's tired of it, and it doesn't matter if it's over.Although, she didn't want it to end like this.She is not reconciled.

At some point, Xia Yu stepped onto the podium and stood behind Shen Chai.She Shen put her arm around her shoulder and patted it, just like Shen Chai did to her every time.

She saw it, from the moment Shen Chai stood on the podium, she saw it.

So, she came, she came to face the wind and rain with her.She won't be the one who is protected by her, and she can hold up a sky for the other party.

Xia Yu stood in front of the standing microphone and cleared her throat.There was a smile as clear and shallow as the moonlight on his face.

Everyone in the audience looked at her, there was a brief silence, with a trace of bewilderment on their faces.None of them knew who the girl who suddenly appeared on the table lamp was, and what relationship she had with Shen Chai.However, they were all infected by her smile and listened quietly to what she said.

There was a crack in Liu Yan's expression, but he quickly calmed down.He has already determined that this girl will not pose any threat to him.He whispered a few words to the secretary.The secretary nodded and left his seat.He began to turn his eyes, looking at the girl who was still trembling slightly with interest.

'Even if she hurts her hand and can't draw anymore, it cannot be denied that she is still a very good editor.I don't need to say much about her ability, you should be able to see it.If she didn't tell, who of you would know? Probably if you didn't listen to what she said, you wouldn't believe it at all, you would just laugh it off as a joke.What's more, the gun in her hand won't affect her work at all'

Xia Yu paused and continued, "Besides, do any of you know why her hand was injured?" There was silence in the audience, only two people who knew the truth, one was pale and tried to force a smile, the other was full of laughter but hid a knife .

Her shadow trembled slightly behind her, and almost no one knew how nervous she seemed to be calm at the moment.

'As Shen Chai said, the story of Shi Nianhua. She glanced at Shen Chai, and seeing the smile on her face, Xia Yu seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and she continued, "The other protagonist of that story is the wife of the editor-in-chief.She is the direction Shen Chai has been chasing.Back then, they founded Shi Nian Hua together. '

'That year, when Shi Nianhui was just starting, they had a car accident, and Shen Chai was injured to protect her.In an instant, she can give up the future, the career she loves the most, and even her life, as long as the other party is safe.She did it, but she also paid the price, she will never be able to paint for the rest of her life. 'Xia Yu's eyes looked at the empty direction, and she said it with the same ethereal voice.

Unknowingly, Su Nian's tears slowly rolled down his cheeks, but the blood returned to his pale face.Finally, it was said.Carrying the burden of waiting for so long, it seems that there is an illusion of finally letting go.

Liu Yandong's face gradually turned cold. The biggest reason why he dared to reveal this matter was because he insisted that Shen Chai disdains or refuses, no matter what, he would never tell the truth that she was hurt by protecting Su Niancai.

' She really loves the magazine.Really... This is the youth and ideal of the two of them. '

'Hand injured, it does not affect her work at all.Even so, you don't want to let her go and force her to a dead end?" Her voice was unprecedented, and it seemed to burst out of grief and strength in an instant.

'Enough, Yu'er, stop talking, let's go. ' Shen Chai's voice sounded from behind, interrupting Xia Yu who was still going on.

Xia Yu turned her head suddenly, looked at Shen Chai's solemn face, then nodded slightly, and let Shen Chai lead her hand and walked off the stage.

Shen Chai glanced at Su Nian who was crying, without any emotion, as if looking at a stranger.Then, without looking back, he led Xia Yu down the podium and left the venue.

Ignoring the hustle and bustle behind her, she left without any regrets.
