Routine rollover guide

Since lunch, there has been no movement from Gu Shijuan. Cen You is sitting at the table in the hotel room, holding a brush to draw the content of the next chapter. , Gu Shijuan's eyes seemed to dim suddenly.

Cen You pinched his pen and looked at the half-drawn draft on the computer, he thought, does Gu Shijuan really hate Tuo Huai?

But they obviously didn't have any intersection, and he had never seen Gu Shijuan reading comics.

It's a bit strange.

And since noon, he hasn't heard from Gu Shijuan at all. He doesn't know where he went or what he's doing.

He usually only knows how to draw cartoons, and this is the first time he participated in a public competition. Among the people who came, he didn't know anyone, and he didn't know how to start a conversation.

Cen You sighed slightly, suddenly felt that this trip was quite lonely.

Two messages popped up on the phone. Cen You was startled by the ding sound, then picked it up quickly, and saw that it was from his editor, Brother Chen:

[Teacher teacher!Tomorrow's schedule will be sent to you. 】

[I'll be waiting at the venue tomorrow, don't worry. 】

Cen You clicked on the flow chart he sent, and scanned it roughly, that is, the official speech first, then the comments, and finally the awards.His work is the champion, the finale.

[What's more, there will be an on-site signing website link for the top three at that time, before the awards are presented, and they are all in the picture. 】

[If you don’t understand anything, ask me later. 】

Cen You looked at the message sent again, and replied seriously: "Okay, Brother Chen, please."

After replying to the message, Cen You stood up, moved his hands and feet that were aching from sitting all afternoon, walked to the bedside and stretched out his hands to open the curtains. There was no dazzling light, and it was already dark outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The thick black and purple ink extends far away, and the white smudges seem to be clouds.

In the distance, there are thousands of lights, sparkling like stars, and you can see the tallest building in the city, with its top reaching into the sky.

The window glass reflected the furnishings in the room, Cen You watched quietly, suddenly feeling a little emotional.

It was as if he had stepped into a beautiful dream, which was far away and strange.

The wall clock on the wall showed 06:30 in the evening, and Cen You realized that he had been drawing for so long. He looked at the night scene, yawned slowly, and stretched out his hand to rub his eyes twice.

Then, when he looked again, there seemed to be a figure with his head up downstairs. Cen You's eyes froze, he squatted down and pressed his face against the glass and continued to look down, trying to see if that figure was really Gu Shijuan.

The floor they lived in was not particularly high. Cen You looked at the small figure below, who was raising his head, then took something out of his pocket and put it next to his ear.

The next second, the phone in his hand rang, and the caller was Gu Shijuan.

Cen You caught his breath, let the phone ring for a while before picking it up, and continued to look outside, while the people downstairs were still looking up at him.

"Didn't leave the hotel this afternoon?" Gu Shijuan said with a slight smile in his voice.

Cen You simply sat on the carpet by the window, and responded, "I'm drawing, and the hotel is too big, so I don't know where to go."

The other party paused for a moment: "I'm busy with something this afternoon, a very important thing."

Cen You frowned slightly: "What's the matter? Is it a part-time job?" He thought Gu Shijuan came simply because of their good relationship.

Gu Shijuan licked his lower lip: "It's work, but it's not because of work."

"Then will you still come to the awards ceremony with me tomorrow afternoon?" Cen You stopped clasping fingers on the glass and bit his lower lip.

"Come on, you have won such a big award, of course I want to see it."

—and to present the prize to you with my own hands.

Gu Shijuan smiled lightly, with a low voice: "I went out to buy some dim sum from Beijing, you haven't had dinner yet..."

He was just about to say that I'll go up and deliver it to you, when he saw that the little figure crouching by the window on the top disappeared, and there was a voice on the phone saying, "I'll go down to find you."

Soon Gu Shijuan saw a small figure running out from the hotel lobby, with his coat unbuttoned, his hands tightly clutching his phone, running up to him like a small ball.

Because of running too fast, her cheeks were also a little flushed, and she looked at him with bright eyes.

"Senior, you kept your head up just now, didn't you feel sour?" Cen You's eyes revealed a sincere question, and his tone of voice was a little breathless.

Gu Shijuan's originally brewed emotions were instantly knocked back, and he didn't expect that Cen You would say this when he saw him.

He couldn't help laughing, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he said in a helpless tone, "Have you been thinking about this just now?"

Cen You tilted his head, and said seriously: "That's not true, it's just a feeling, because it's really uncomfortable to keep your neck up."

"So you came down to find me?"

"Hmm..." Cen You nodded with sparkling eyes.

Gu Shijuan lowered his eyes, smiled helplessly, raised a delicate bag in his hand, rubbed Cen You's head, and led him inside: "Let's go, go back and talk."

So naturally, Cen You followed into Gu Shijuan's room, and when the door closed with a click, he felt something was wrong, but quickly forgot about it.

The layout of Gu Shijuan's room was exactly the same as his. The two walked to the balcony together. Gu Shijuan put the gift bag on the table, looked at Cen You who sat down obediently, and said, "Do you want to be here?"

"Well, we can see the night view." Cen You rubbed his chin, and then, as if watching Gu Shijuan doing a magic trick, he took out several kinds of snacks from the bag, as well as two cups of hot cheese milk caps.

Cen You watched his movements, took a cup of milk-covered tea, and counted his eyelashes, but he was a little absent-minded. He rested his chin and sighed very sincerely: "Senior, you seem to be very different from when I first met you." Same."

Gu Shijuan finished placing all the snacks, and pushed a small box to Cen You's hand.He raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Where?"

"that is……"

When he was about to speak, Cen You remembered that he had said such words to him several times, but every time this feeling seemed to be short-lived.

He bit his lower lip.

"It just feels a little different. Now you are a little considerate." Cen You bit his straw and recalled, "When I first met you, I was actually a little scared."

"What are you afraid of? Am I fierce?" Gu Shijuan listened with interest.

Cen You shook his head, he couldn't describe it.That kind of look seemed to tear him down, but it didn't look like he hated him.

But after getting along for a long time, Cen You felt that Gu Shijuan was not the impression he first met. He was obviously very careful and could be considerate, but he always acted casually.

The appearance is given by his parents and cannot be changed, but apart from the appearance, Cen You can also see Gu Shijuan's inherently loose and careless temperament.

But he didn't hate it at all, and became more and more used to it as time went by, because he knew that Gu Shijuan was not what he appeared on the surface.

Moreover, he seems to have changed more and more recently.

"Senior, you are fine now." Cen You touched the warm cup wall, and concluded with a smile, "You will definitely be more popular in the future."

Maybe he will find a good girlfriend, after all, he is already 22.

It's time to get serious about dating.

Cen You lowered his eyes to think, and slowly sipped the milk tea.

"Why?" Gu Shijuan raised his eyebrows, expressionless.

Cen You answered him seriously: "Because girls don't like considerate boyfriends?"

The window was not closed tightly, and the cool wind blew in through the gap. When Cen You met Gu Shijuan's gaze, he suddenly felt guilty. He couldn't understand what that expression was, but he had seen it before.

In the car that time, when he joked that he was going to chase him, he had such an expression.

"What about you? Will you like it?" Gu Shijuan's eyes were dark and he couldn't see the emotion clearly. He spoke in a low voice, and kept tightening his hands on the table.

Cen You pursed his lower lip, raised his head to look at him in a daze, and smiled slowly: "Yes, everyone, don't you all like considerate people?"

"I mean me." Gu Shijuan's eyes turned red, as if he was suppressing some emotion.

The table trembled twice, but it still returned to calm. The cool wind seemed to be more violent, and Gu Shijuan also felt its presence. He stood up, pushed the window hard twice, and the room suddenly became quiet. Even his heart became quiet.

Gu Shijuan felt a little regretful and said that. When he heard what Cen You said, he panicked for a moment, so much so that he forgot his plan.

Forgot that the tenderness and caring described by Cen You are all his personality and routines.

his side.

Not long after, Cen You turned his head and handed another cup of milk tea in front of him, smiled a little embarrassedly, and reproached, "There's only one thing wrong."

"Could you stop joking like this all the time—"

Gu Shijuan's eyes were still red, he looked at the hot milk cap in front of him without saying a word, it took him a long time to pick it up, and then he answered casually like usual: "Well, I won't do it next time."

The next day came soon, and Cen You was still sitting cross-legged on the bed staring at the wall in a daze, the chat history was on the lit phone screen, and a message from Gu Shijuan:

[I'll be there on time in the afternoon, I have something to do in the morning. 】

Cen You fell backwards suddenly, fell on the soft bed, raised his hand and turned off his phone, and began to recall what happened last night, and finally came to the conclusion that Gu Shijuan must have drunk too much.

That's why he deliberately avoided him in the morning, because he drank too much, and it would be embarrassing to talk drunk, so he didn't dare to get along with him alone.

It must be so.

Cen You applauded his thoughts in his heart, sat up again, hugged the pillow and began to lose his mind, he thought carefully about Gu Shijuan's demeanor and expression last night, it seemed a little different from usual, probably Really drunk.

The phone screen lit up again, this time it was a message from Brother Chen: [Teacher, you just need to arrive at the sign-in office at three o'clock, I'll be waiting for you at the sign-in area! 】

After that, his editor seemed to be a lot more lively.

Cen You glanced at the time, and suddenly became a little nervous. He got up and took out a new change of clothes from the suitcase, rushed into the bathroom to take a shower, and planned to eat something in the morning before going to the venue.

The hotel's food delivery was fast, and Cen You casually ordered some steamed buns and porridge, and started to eat breakfast slowly, while looking nervously at the Weibo of other contestants.

He saw that they all sent messages to the hotel.

With a small steamed bun in his mouth, Cen You hesitated for a moment and took a look outside the window. He posted a microblog as if to prove that he had arrived, and immediately sent a lot of comments, saying that he was looking forward to the awards.

After reading the comments for a while, after breakfast, it was around ten o'clock.Cen You walked around the room a little nervously. He was really looking forward to the awards yesterday, but it was really coming soon, and he was so nervous that he was afraid of making mistakes.

Especially if you want to meet Tuo Huai, you can also get his comments.

Incredible!

Cen You suddenly stood up from the bed, and began to walk around the room nervously, while receiving messages from Brother Chen that came almost every half hour.

【We are ready. 】

The accompanying picture is a row of flower baskets.

[Look at this decoration! 】

[And what our trophy looks like this year. 】

Then crackling sent him several pictures.

Cen You looked at it one by one, and it was true that everything in the venue this time was more thoughtful and luxurious than the previous one.

[It is said that this time, from the venue to the layout arrangement, the president of this hotel personally paid for it and provided it! 】

Cen You was stunned for a moment, put down his phone and glanced at the decoration in the room, and couldn't help sighing: You can do whatever you want with money.

Because there was a dinner party after the award ceremony, Cen You didn't eat much at noon, so he ordered some food and delivered it to his room.

It was approaching three o'clock, but Gu Shijuan still didn't make any movement. Cen You knocked on the door before leaving, but no one answered.

But he said he would come on time, Cen You thought, while clutching the phone tightly in his hand, he walked towards the top floor of the hotel.Just one floor below the restaurant.

The entire first floor was used as a meeting place. When Cen You saw it with his own eyes, he realized that it was much bigger than he had imagined. He walked to the sign-in counter, and just after reporting his name, he heard a small exclamation from the staff behind him, followed by the A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses with a warm smile on his face immediately stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "Hello, teacher! I'm your editor! Nice to meet you."

Cen You glanced at the hands that were shaken crazily, and then blinked twice: "Brother Chen!"

"Okay, okay, come to the teacher's side, your place will be here in a while, and now you can move freely." Brother Chen introduced to him with a flushed face.

Cen You followed him while looking around.All the invited contestants have already entered the arena one after another, and there are even a few small media standing in the corner.

"Ah, by the way, Brother Chen, I brought a friend here. Where are the positions for non-competitors?" Cen You raised his eyes and turned his head to ask again.

Brother Chen: "It's on the right side, next to the media area!"

Cen You glanced at it, and asked a little puzzled and surprised: "But why are there so many media outlets this year?"

Brother Chen looked excited, and sighed: "What a topic this year! Not only is Tuohuai's first public appearance, but the presenter of the championship is the president of this hotel, which is said to be a very powerful company in the business world."

"And our editor-in-chief said that it was not the original hotel president who provided the venue, but his son who had never shown up."

Cen You nodded silently, and echoed, "It's so amazing..."

It's just a little strange, why did the president personally come to present an award to the champion of a rookie contest? Does he love comics so much?

Brother Chen patted Cen You on the shoulder after finishing his science popularization: "Teacher, please go around first, I have to work on my side, and the host will announce the start later."

"Okay, then you go." Cen You bent his eyes and watched Brother Chen running towards the sign-in area, but his eyes did not leave. He saw new people coming in at the sign-in area, but there was no sign of Gu Shijuan. .

Cen You lowered his head, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and the time showed 03:30.

He hesitated for a moment, then clicked on the dialog box, and entered the words after thinking about it:

[Senior, are you here? 】

1 minute passed and no response.

Cen You raised his head slowly, put his phone back, and looked at the luxuriously furnished venue, where the crystal lamps on the ceiling reflected dazzling light.

What will happen next is what he has been expecting for a long time, winning the championship, and meeting his idol.

But it always feels like something is missing.

Just as he was standing there in a daze, there was some commotion in the venue, mixed with gradually heated whispers. When Cen You looked up, he saw several people entering the venue.

He knows everyone, they are very powerful existences in the comics world, and, his idols.

As soon as Cen You raised his eyes, he met the eyes of the leading man. The other party smiled at him, his eyes seemed to recognize him.

Cen You was still in a daze, and then saw the man sitting on the seat with the nameplate "Tuohuai" on the table.

——He is Tuohuai.

Cen You's pupils trembled twice, and he couldn't believe that he just met the idol's eyes, and the other party smiled.

Then he heard the voice of the female staff not far away talking: "My God, is Tuohuai so handsome?"

"Both talented and beautiful! Even though he has a face that can make his debut, he still draws so well in manga."

And several media outlets in the corner had already stepped forward and the camera lights flashed together.

The ceremony officially started at four o'clock. Cen You followed Brother Chen and sat in the second row. Behind him were the top contestants, and Cen You's position was not far from Tuo Huai in the middle of the first row. two meters.

Cen You's hands resting on his knees were a little sweaty. He scratched his sleeves a little bit, and watched the judges in the front row go up to speak one by one, and became more and more nervous.

It was like a sudden dream come true.

Caught off guard, a firework exploded on his head.

Soon the speech session was over, and then came the on-site review session.

Basically, it is to point out where the outstanding points of this award-winning work are, and where the paintings are very good.

And Cen You's work, as the double first, was the finale commentary, and Tuohuai was the first to comment.

When it was Cen You's turn, he was a little bit hesitant to stand on the stage, his hands were still slightly sweating, he knew it was a compliment but he was a little bit afraid to listen.

Because his works also incorporate ancient elements of Chinese style, although the style is different from Tuohuai's ink mountains and rivers.

But the root is the same, and as a newcomer, he is naturally not as good as Tuohuai.

But listening to it, Cen You slowly relaxed. Tuo Huai not only praised his works, but also made a good analysis, which was a sincere compliment and affirmation of his strength.

"So - your works all have different advantages, they are unique and shining, in the process of gradually learning and sharpening, they will accompany you, and finally become your unique painting style and logo.

I am very honored to be able to comment on a group of excellent works, and I look forward to seeing their future and becoming a leading edge in the rise of Guoman. "

As the words fell, thunderous applause rang out.

After the applause, it is the most anticipated link, the awarding link.

Cen You was a little absent-minded, and now he couldn't take out his phone to see if Gu Shijuan had replied, let alone get up to look for it.

He wanted him to see that he could stand on the stage to accept the award.

And the thought of seeing him at this moment even surpassed receiving the award itself.

So Cen You turned around, passed through all the crowd in the corner by the wall, and saw Gu Shijuan, who was dressed in a suit and formally, met his gaze, with peachy eyes and a smile, and tilted his head at him.

Cen You's heart sank suddenly, as if something had suddenly returned to its original position. He bent his eyes and smiled, waiting for the award presentation to start full of joy.

Like snow falling on the ground, flowers falling into the mud, no matter how far the wind blows the boat will dock.

Gu Shijuan licked his lips and smiled softly, with an indelible tenderness in his eyes. Following the host's voice, he slowly walked into his seat by the side of the stage, and walked to the other side step by step.

"Then the final award we are going to present is the work that won the double first place this time, "Spirit Locking God" by Little Squid, and our No.1 will be presented by Mr. Gu of the Gu Group, provided by our venue! "

Standing at the other end of the podium, Cen You looked up and saw the man who was still in the corner just now holding the trophy and slowly walking over from the other side. There was a smile and tenderness in his eyes, but Cen You couldn't move forward. move.

He couldn't believe his eyes, and even his steps were a little heavy and procrastinated.

Gu Shijuan turned sideways, bowed his head and handed the trophy in his hand to Cen You, with a smile on his lips: "Congratulations..." After speaking, he took the lead in applauding, followed by applause from the audience.

Cen You's brain was buzzing, and the moment he took the trophy from him still felt unreal, the smile of the person in front of him was still the same, but strange and unbelievable.

Without the excitement of accepting the award, Cen You only felt surprised, even a little uncomfortable.

He said he was a poor male college student working part-time.

He said he can't cook and can only order takeaway.

He said he moved because of the low rent.

Others said that he was the little Mr. Gu of the Gu Group.

Coming down from the stage, Gu Shijuan followed Cen You, lowered his eyes and said softly, "Youyou, what else do you want besides a trophy?"

Cen You took a step back suddenly, his eyes were a little dazed, but the words uttered from his trembling lips were extremely clear: "I want you to stay away from me."

The author has something to say: Stand up! Applause!
