Shi Nan didn't know if his words had any effect, he went abroad with Yue Yang within a few days after that conversation, and left the mess here in a cool way.He was an outsider, and he walked without sloppiness.On the day he left the country, Jian Mingcheng originally said that he would go to the airport to see him off, but because of some unlucky things, he couldn't go.

The shooting of "Star Rock" was announced to be postponed indefinitely. After a while of public opinion, it was gradually forgotten. There is always a new favorite in the public's field of vision.When Jian Mingcheng saw the news, he called Gu Enzhong. He didn't specifically mention this matter in his conversation, but Gu Enzhong also said that he is now fully preparing for the filming of "Golden Tide".

There is a saying in "Monster Language", "There are always sorrows and joys in the world, there are always no sorrows and joys, and there are always sorrows and joys."When the publishing house designed the cover, it decided to put this sentence on the waist of the book.

After Jian Mingcheng handed over the first translation to the publishing house, he changed the manuscript several times. He was the one who completed the translation work earlier in this series. The next printing and publishing is the responsibility of the publishing house. After months, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Several other translators who selected this series of topics will also participate in the translation exchange meeting organized by the publishing house. Jian Mingcheng is also willing to accept such things as exchanging experiences with colleagues.In addition to the translators, several authors of domestic best-selling books in recent years also participated in this exchange meeting. Jian Mingche openly used Jian Mingcheng's relationship to get a few autographs, and planned to take them back to the girls who shared the same dormitory with her. Show off.

After this translation exchange meeting, Jian Mingcheng met with the illustrator responsible for the illustrations of this series of books, and exchanged contact information with several editors of the publishing house, and gradually became acquainted.The network of relationships was unknowingly woven step by step. This is how he gradually embarked on the road of translation. At first, he did not regard it as a profession, nor did he think that this would be what he would devote himself to in the future. The career of a lifetime.

The agreement with Shi Nan was temporarily dropped because of his going abroad. After Shi Nan returned to China in May, he immediately contacted Jian Mingcheng to be his model.He is still worried about the fact that he was released as a pigeon, so he made some "excessive" requirements when painting.

After he finished drawing, Jian Mingcheng put on his clothes with a blushing face, and Shi Nan called out how cute his expression was.It was this time that he really saw the painting he drew when he was a model for Shi Nan for the first time.

Jian Mingcheng doesn't understand painting, but he can vaguely feel that this painting is very different from the ones he painted before. The use of colors is more colorful and bold, but the ethereal and elusive feeling in it is not affected by the bright colors. It has weakened, but some explicit emotional expressions are mixed in the haze.The person in the painting is like him, but not like him, is him, but not him. It should be said that this is another poetic soul created by Shi Nan with the help of the real individual "Jian Ming Cheng". Simultaneously sanctified and obscene, at the same time the embodiment of temptation and indifference.

"I saw something else from you." This is what Shi Nan said, Jian Mingcheng didn't understand what it meant, "I named him 'Xia'."

Xia is sleeping, Xia is reclining on the bed and reading a book, Xia is sitting by the window meditating with one hand on her chin, her eyes are like a river of spring water, but tender, Xia is showing a wonderful smile in the bright summer sun, Looking forward to something, remembering something, these are the things that Shi Nan has been depicting endlessly in the next few years.

After "Summer's Rest" and "Summer's Feast" were put on the market, there was a great response. Several professional art magazines in China commented on these two paintings. Shi Nan used pens of different colors in the comments of the magazines. Marked it, and showed it to Jian Mingcheng when he went, obviously very satisfied with it.

After that, Jian Mingcheng gradually began to follow him to attend some gatherings of domestic young artists, sometimes as "Jian Mingcheng" - this is Shi Nan's good friend, and sometimes as "Xia", which is the painting under his brush. muse.

Since this beginning of summer, both Fang Junqian and Cheng Yu have gradually disappeared into Jian Mingcheng's life. He has gradually embarked on a path that he had never thought of before in a way that he did not expect, and he feels more and more that he is slowly Trapped in the vicious circle of Vanity Fair.At this time, he would think of Gu Enzhong and empathize with everything he had encountered since he became famous.Of course, what is completely incomparable with him as an idol male god is that he has always been known only in a limited circle. Even Jian Mingche was only surprised when he saw the interview about Jian Mingcheng's new translation book in a magazine. How is he different from the former Jian Mingcheng whose life was extremely monotonous and his social circle was extremely closed.

The relationship between Jian Mingche and Fang Linhan seemed to have finally entered a stage of stable development after experiencing that twists and turns, and there was no major conflict between the two of them.

After the contract with Century Entertainment Company expired, Gu Enzhong set up his own studio, and the first film and television adaptation plan he announced to the outside world was "Golden Tide". Most of the investment came from his former boss Cheng Dingguo.

Since June, the number of students in the library and study room of the university has gradually increased compared with usual, and many busy figures can be seen walking.During the time preparing for the final exam, Jian Mingcheng invited Fang Linhan out for a meal.This time without Jian Mingche's participation, he opened up and spoke his heart to Fang Linhan.

As Jian Mingche's older brother, he hopes that her future husband will at least have the ability to be responsible for the future of the two of them, including future career planning, which city he plans to live in after graduation, when to meet both parents, etc. What a distant topic.On the Jian's side, as long as Jian Mingcheng agreed, there would be no problem, while on Fang Linhan's side, his parents had to pass.

"My parents will definitely like Xiao Che, and they have known for a long time that we are dating. As long as Xiao Che agrees, I can take her back to see my parents soon." Fang Linhan said.

In Jian Mingcheng's opinion, when it comes to marriage, Fang Linhan is definitely not an ideal partner - he himself has never suffered much since he was a child, and he has qualities such as perseverance, courage, responsibility, and responsibility. Not even a shadow.However, in the final analysis, it is Jian Mingche who is going to get married, not him, and they are still young. As soon as they step into the society, young people will grow up quickly.There is no substitute for experience in this process.

At the end of the sentence, Jian Mingcheng casually asked about Fang Junqian's recent situation, but he didn't have any other intentions, but it seemed unreasonable not to ask.Fang Linhan didn't doubt that he was there, but just said: "My brother is very good. He got promoted, got a raise in salary, and even got a girlfriend. He just doesn't care about me, maybe he has more things to do. , I'm not used to it..."

Do you want a girlfriend?Jian Mingcheng didn't think about this, but Fang Junqian was not like himself, he was... If he could find a suitable person, get married, have children, and raise children together, wouldn't it be wonderful?I don't know if he has received psychological treatment after that, but he probably won't let Fang Linhan know about this kind of thing...

Thinking of this, Jian Mingcheng closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows, and said to Fang Lin Han: "Okay, I understand. You can go first, and I will sit for a while. If Xiao Che asks what I talked to you later, you Just tell the truth."

Fang Linhan left hesitantly.Jian Mingcheng opened his eyes and leaned on the back of the seat, turned his head to look out of the glass wall, the neon lights of the city were just beginning to shine, and it was a bustling scene. Looking carefully, the outside of the glass wall reflected the image of himself sitting on the chair, with a calm expression, maybe Because of fatigue, the eyes look slightly swollen, the eyebrows seem to be thinner than before, and the hair is long again. I probably have to go to the barber shop sometime.Do you want to change your hairstyle?Maybe you can ask Shi Nan for his opinion?He has never doubted the artist's aesthetics.

For the past month, apart from shutting himself in the room and translating novels after work, he spends most of his time with Shi Nan. Although Nan often draws when he poses, there is no more communication, but the relationship between the two The relationship is still getting close very quickly.

During this period, Shi Nan completed two more paintings, one "Dream of Summer" and one "Love in Summer".As a painter, he is very dedicated, but he is not flattered in other aspects, such as - cooking skills, Jian Mingcheng, who has no cooking skills, will soon become a chef after going to his house.In the days when Yue Yang was not around, the woman Jian Mingcheng met when he visited Shi Nan's house for the first time would frequently come and go in and out of that villa—she was Shi Nan's assistant, from buying painting tools for Shi Nan to dealing with art dealers, etc. She took care of all the big and small things, not only that, but also had to worry about the diet and life of the great painter from time to time like a nanny.

Jian Mingcheng took out his mobile phone and flipped through the phone book. After sliding his fingers up and down the interface for a while, he finally gave up. After all, he can only be regarded as an outsider at Shi Nan's place. On nights like this, he probably prefers to be with Yue Yue. The world of two people?

He was fiddling with the phone for a while, and suddenly a call came and he was shocked. After seeing the caller ID clearly, he felt even more uneasy, and pressed the answer button in his hand——

After waiting for a long time for the call to connect, Gu Enzhong almost thought that he had pressed the wrong button—it would be a bad end if this was the case, but he obviously called by looking at the missed call records.

"what happened?"

"Huh?" Gu En raised an ending sound again, and asked back, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you 'what's wrong'?"
