What's Mr. Huo Eating Today

"what--"

He Yunzhou yawned a lot, and pressed the send button on the computer with all his strength.

Seeing that the compressed package that collected his painstaking work in the past few days was sent out, he breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned back slightly, leaned on the computer chair and stretched a long way.Accompanied by his movements, the joints and bones made a small clicking sound that only he could hear, and it wasn't until this time that He Yunzhou realized how stiff the muscles in his neck and back were.

"It hurts……"

Talking to himself in a low voice, He Yunzhou grabbed the active oil from the side of the computer, sprinkled it generously on the sore shoulders and neck, and kneaded it gently.But with He Yunzhou's current posture, no matter how much he kneads, the posture is also very awkward.

If there is a lover or relative at this time, they can help to squeeze the shoulders - this thought quickly passed through He Yunzhou's mind, and then inexplicably, the face of the man with a pair of beautiful green eyes emerged inexplicably.

But the next moment, He Yunzhou quickly erased Huo Zheng's face from his mind.

Rushing through the night for several days will indeed reduce people's IQ and rationality. He Yunzhou himself doesn't know why he thinks of Huo Zheng at this time.

If it was that person, if he made such a request, he might be packed up and thrown out of the window by the whole person...

Thinking of Huo Zheng's bad temper, He Yunzhou couldn't help showing a faint smile.

Then... always feel like I forgot something...

He Yunzhou shook his heavy head, thinking silently.It's just that the lack of sleep for many days has caused a serious shortage of blood supply to his brain. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything, so He Yunzhou could only ignore it for the time being.

The pumpkin, which was coiled up and sleeping soundly at He Yunzhou's feet, suddenly became active as if he knew something after realizing that He Yunzhou was stretching.

It stood up very nimbly, put its front paws on He Yunzhou's knees, stared at He Yunzhou with bright eyes, and kept making begging meows.

"Okay, okay, I know, I'm very unhappy these days, right? I'll get you something to eat later. How about eating a can? It will be very happy, right?"

He Yunzhou stretched out his hand, lovingly stroking the furry head of the pumpkin.

However, when he stood up from his seat, He Yunzhou staggered, his eyes darkened and he almost fell to the ground.

"Well……"

Fortunately, He Yunzhou supported the table and stood there for a while before recovering from the dizzying state.And when he wiped his face with a cold towel in the bathroom, the haggard face that appeared in the mirror was as expected.

Severe dark circles were almost hanging on the corners of his mouth, and his cheeks were slightly sunken due to the three meals a day, and the long-term rapid brain operation and the physical exertion of drawing at the desk made He Yunzhou in just a few days. Here, the whole person looks like something has thinned out a layer.

Sure enough, he is not young anymore——

Looking at the mirror, He Yunzhou couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.

Of course, He Yunzhou's own constitution is very special, as long as he doesn't have a good rest, he will look particularly haggard and sick.

But on the other hand, He Yunzhou's workload in the past few days is indeed heavy, and the haggard effect can only be described as shocking, and it is not entirely because of He Yunzhou's physical fitness.

As for why he still stayed up late and worked for so long under such circumstances, and desperately tried to get the manuscript out... Naturally, there was a reason.

Just a few days ago, He Yunzhou received a call from his editor Xiaoxi.The other party was overjoyed on the phone, and informed He Yunzhou of the great news—he was likely to be the sole illustrator of the novel "Magic Cat", drawing the cover and illustrations for the latest hardcover edition of the novel.

I have to say that when he heard the news, He Yunzhou almost thought that Xiaoxi was joking with himself. After all, "God Cat" is not an ordinary popular novel-it has been serialized for the first time five years ago, and it is a phenomenal novel. The super popular novel, the author was little-known before Li Fu, but "Magic Cat" became a god directly, occupying the top of the sales list of major books for a long time, and the IP game film and TV series are even produced. , It can be called a monster-level money printing machine.Some people even laughed and said before that a physical novel of "Magic Cat" can be exchanged for a hundred-yuan bill of the same thickness.

This novel has been serialized on and off for many years, and it was announced some time ago that it will end this year, and a complete set of collections will be released... Even He Yunzhou himself is thinking about buying a set to take home for collection, but now, Xiaoxi is actually with He said, he wants to be the illustrator of this set of books?

"...Did you draw a book for someone before, called Legend of the Silver Fox?" Xiaoxi said with a smirk on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, yes."

He Yunzhou was stunned for a while before he remembered that several years ago, when he first entered the industry, he really ignored the dissuasion of his friends and used a very low manuscript fee to help a novel that was not favored by everyone, carefully draw a full set of illustrations and cover.

The novel was very moving, but the tone was dark and melancholic, and it was difficult to read. Even the publication was published at the author's own expense.In this way, the manuscript fee transferred to illustrations and covers is naturally very sad, and the covers of several consecutive editions are ugly beyond words because they have no money to hire good painters and designs.

He Yunzhou was more or less a fan of this book before, and he really couldn't bear to have such an ugly design and illustrations on such a book, so he had the cheek to find the author and sell his own illustrations by force.

Back then, He Yunzhou was still a fledgling rookie painter, even if he had no money, he was able to fight like crazy. The whole set of pictures was painstakingly drawn with great care.In this way, this book finally has a decent cover and illustrations at the end...

It's just that even with such a beautiful picture, such a novel that does not meet the public's preferences is still powerless.

He Yunzhou heard that the novel sold badly in the end, and after that, even the author never appeared again.

Back then, He Yunzhou felt sorry for the author of that book for a long time, but with the passage of time, this incident has already been thrown to the bottom of his memory. If Xiaoxi hadn't mentioned it, He Yunzhou would have forgotten about it. .

"It happened so long ago..."

"I bought the Legend of the Silver Fox before Li Fu, and I really liked this set of pictures. But didn't you change your pseudonym later? He never knew that you were the moon ship, and this time it was only by chance that he knew it was you. Just tell the people in the publishing house that you are appointed to draw the God Cat Collector's Edition."

"what?"

He Yunzhou was also stunned by this bizarre plot when he heard Xiaoxi's muttering.

Li Fu is the author of "Magic Cat", and with his direct appointment, He Yunzhou can be regarded as a step up to the sky this time-with this amount of manuscript remuneration, He Yunzhou will not have to worry about living expenses for at least the next three years.It’s just that if there is a loss, there is a gain. The book of "Magic Cat" needs to be rushed, and the publishing house is in a hurry to get the manuscript. The request is to let He Yunzhou drive out all the early character designs and sketches in one go. Easy typesetting.He Yunzhou was constantly urged by Xiaoxi and the people from the publishing house. Even if he was exhausted, he could only draw all the pictures that should have been drawn for a month in a few days.

It wasn't until He Yunzhou sent out the final manuscript just now that He Yunzhou took a breath.

And when he remembered what he had forgotten...it was already more than ten hours of dark sleep.

He forgot to invite Huo Zheng to dinner and apologized and explained.

"..."

After waking up, He Yunzhou rubbed the back of his head, feeling a little headache.

He picked up his phone and clicked on Huo Zheng's WeChat——

Before I received Xiaoxi's call, I was still thinking about how to apologize to Huo Zheng more naturally, so I specially made that kind of wine-soaked raisin chocolate to invite him to eat.

Then, he went to catch up on the draft and completely forgot about it. Of course, Huo Zheng didn't reply to his little invitation.

But it's only natural...

He Yunzhou was not surprised by this at all.

After all, Huo Zheng and Gua Ji came out of the same mold, if they accidentally offended the other party, if they couldn't coax them several times with a hot face and a cold butt, no matter what, the other party would not forgive them.

No, it's not so much that I can't forgive, it's better to say that I can't find a way to go down.

Gua Ji is like this, Huo Zheng... I am afraid it is also like this.

Thinking of Huo Zheng, He Yunzhou's fingertips seemed to touch that man's soft silver-gray hair again.

He rubbed his fingers uncontrollably, and his chest became crispy and soft due to the sudden surging love.

No matter what, let him calm down...

And it just so happened that He Yunzhou was still thinking about how to find an excuse to continue asking Huo Zheng to come downstairs for dinner, and then received a package from Xiaoxi, saying that the people from the publishing house also knew that they were forcing He Yunzhou during this time. High-intensity work is a bit difficult, so I specially gave some souvenirs as a thank you.

He Yunzhou opened the package, and was a little surprised to find that the contents inside were exactly what he wanted—it was a leg of lamb that was solidly frozen.

There is a piece of paper pressed under the leg of lamb, stating that this leg of lamb is a real Yanchi Tan sheep, which is suitable for hand-caught lamb.

At the end, a small "thank you" is also attached.

"I didn't expect this person to be so polite in private..."

After reading the explanation on the paper, He Yunzhou thought of the editor who was so angry and rude in the publishing house before, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, that is, things like urging manuscripts can turn a good person into a devil.

And the next moment, He Yunzhou threw the piece of paper into the trash, happily picked up the phone, and sent Huo Zheng a message.

【Are you busy recently?If you are not busy, would you like to come to my house for dinner?My friend just sent me a nice souvenir. 】

Of course, He Yunzhou was still a little apprehensive the moment he pressed the send button.

It took so long to contact Huo Zheng...

Judging from that person's temper that is very similar to Guaji, that person's unhappiness has probably been fermenting for a long time.

He Yunzhou still remembers that he accidentally stepped on Guaji's tail before leaving home, and had to leave for several days before he had time to coax Guaji to calm down.

After he finished his errands and returned home, Guaji was even more difficult to coax than when he was accidentally kicked out of bed by He Yunzhou before sleeping.

And if it was Huo Zheng...

But the news sounded quickly in the next second, completely dispelling the faint uneasiness in He Yunzhou's heart.

[Huo Zheng: Eat. 】

The author has something to say: He Yunzhou: ...I always feel that this person is much easier to coax than Guaji.

[The heart of pity drops instantly]
