Shoulder to shoulder

"Hey hey hey..." Bi Guo shouted repeatedly, Jian Xuezhou's hands were squeezed really hard, not at all like the state of "I can't help pinching her because I see her cute".

His mouth was pulled into a big toad, so Bi Guo had no choice but to hold Jian Xuezhou's wrist, and shouted instead: "It hurts, hurts, hurts."

Jian Xuezhou finally let go of his hand, Bi Guo glanced left and right, seeing that no one was looking this way, he was reluctant to let go of his wrist.

She grabbed Jian Xuezhou like this and asked her, "Sister, what's the matter?"

Jian Xuezhou looked up at her computer and asked her, "When will it be over?"

"Aren't you busy today?" Bi Guo said, "Want to go home with me?"

Jian Xuezhou twitched the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you not going to take my car?"

"I don't usually sit. You wait for me and I will definitely sit." Bi Guo let go of her hand, turned around and started to turn off the computer, "I'm leaving now."

Jian Xuezhou stared at the round head with the ponytail upright, without making a sound.

Bi Guo turned off the computer, stuffed two books into the bag, and smiled thoughtfully at Jian Xue: "Sister Jian, I'm fine."

Jian Xuezhou turned and walked out, Bi Guo quickly followed, the two walked through the aisle together, and finally attracted the eyes of the few colleagues in the hall.

Jian Xuezhou didn't look sideways, but Bi Guo took a few sneaky glances. She didn't know what kind of relationship she and Jian Xuezhou looked like in the eyes of others. Bi Guo wanted them to look special, but not the kind of special that fake Gongji smuggled the back door. .

So he lowered his eyebrows and followed his eyes closely, taking small steps but following closely, like an obedient puppy raised by Jian Xuezhou.

With a strong sense of self-management, Bi Guo thought of that emoji and laughed silly.

When going downstairs to the underground parking lot, Bi Guo was laughing.

When I watched Jian Xuezhou, I laughed so cutely. When I didn’t watch Jian Xuezhou, I was secretly happy by myself.

Jian Xuezhou was a little puzzled. After getting into the car, the door was closed. In the small space with only two people, Jian Xuezhou asked her: "What are you happy about?"

"Ah?" Bi Guo turned to look at her, eyes wide open, "Just... just be happy."

Jian Xuezhou glanced at her, started the car, and said, "Are you always so happy with the people in your group?"

"That can't be the same." Bi Guo lowered his head and laughed again, "I'm so happy to be with Sister Jane."

Jian Xuezhou originally planned to ask serious questions, but was forced to hold back half of this sentence.

She looked at Bi Guo, and Bi Guo's cheeks were red, but his expression was very sincere, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

Jian Xuezhou was stunned, and Bi Guo reminded her in a low voice: "Sister Jian, watch the way."

Jian Xue turned around, feeling a little puzzled and embarrassed.

If Bi Guo had such an attitude towards his elders, how could he break up with his family? Xia Ling is not an unreasonable mother.

With Bi Guo's attitude towards his colleagues and superiors, how could he have offended everyone the next day after entering the company, and even issued the Warrant Order.

The car bumped on the speed bump, the body trembled, and Jian Xuezhou remembered what Bi Guo had just said.

"How can it be the same? I am so happy to be with sister Jane."

So... the brat still has two faces?She, sister Jane, who was ordered in a crisis and had no educational experience, is so popular?

When his train of thought came here, Jian Xuezhou turned his head to look at Bi Guo again.

Bi Guo was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe out, but the way home was long, and she couldn't really not breathe, so she breathed heavily and urgently, feeling that her breathing was about to heat up the car's air conditioner .

Jian Xuezhou specially waited for her to get off work, pinched her face when he came over if he disagreed, kept looking at her along the way, and said some inexplicable comparisons with others, after all, he really couldn't tell what she meant.

If he meant that in private, Bi Guo felt that he should have answered correctly, and it was necessary to respond appropriately to his favor. He had expressed the specialness of Jian Xuezhou to her, and Jian Xuezhou would definitely be happy.

If it wasn't for what he meant in private, Wang Ze must have made a small report. Jian Xuezhou just promised not to punish her last night, and now he is probably angry and not easy to attack.

No matter what the situation is, Bi Guo's current mood is not wrong.Worried, secretly delighted, puzzled, and enjoying the ambiguity.

The car was driving on the road very quietly. Apart from glancing at her from time to time, Jian Xuezhou didn't speak.

Bi Guo breathed smoothly, and took the initiative to provoke the topic: "It's been a lot cooler recently."

At any time, it is not easy to go wrong when talking about the weather.

"En." Jian Xuezhou responded lightly.

"Sister," Bi Guo looked at her sideways, very sincerely, "In this kind of weather, it's better not to turn on the air conditioner at night, girls are easy to catch cold."

"Yeah." Jian Xuezhou turned his head to look at her.

Bi Guo smiled and asked her: "Sister, did you have dysmenorrhea when you came?"

Topics between girls are easy to resonate, and they always make Jian Xuezhou say a few more words.

Sure enough, Jian Xuezhou wrote more words: "Are you in pain?"

"It doesn't hurt." Bi Guo said, "My waist was sore before I came here, and it passed within a day at most."

"Well," Jian Xue said thoughtfully, "eat less cold drinks."

"What about you?" Bi Guo asked persistently.

Jian Xuezhou paused for a long time before replying, "It doesn't hurt."

Bi Guo chatted about something and nothing all the way, Jian Xuezhou answered her casually, and she could continue nagging.

Jian Xuezhou doesn't like this kind of nagging. Usually, she is quite boring when driving alone. With Bi Guo, she just listens to the radio.

But there is always a faint vigilance in my heart, I feel that after being nagged all the way back by this child, I probably won't be able to get angry if I should be angry.

They got off work a little late today, and after entering the main road, the traffic was tightly blocked.

It was about ten minutes later than the normal time to go home. After parking the car, Bi Guo got out of the car and jumped and said, "Ah, the traffic jam is so embarrassing!"

"Don't you usually take the bus without traffic jams?" Jian Xuezhou got off the bus and locked the door.

"Block." Bi Guo jumped to her side, "But Line [-] will open soon, and it will be much faster if you walk a little way and take the subway."

Jian Xuezhou didn't speak, Bi Guo jumped in front of her and asked her, "Will Sister Jian take the subway with me then?"

Jian Xuezhou glanced at her, and Bi Guo hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, don't be afraid that someone will squeeze you, I will protect you."

Silly child protecting her?Jian Xuezhou couldn't hold back, and curled his lips.

Bi Guo took a long breath, jumped forward and ran forward: "What would my sister want for dinner tonight, I'll order it!"

In the most routine process, the two of them entered the room to clean up, and then sat down at the dining table together.

But what's different today is that Bi Guo's cell phone has been kept by the side and is turned on from time to time, and Bi Guo always has to pull it away to take a look.

When she clicked on the phone again, Jian Xuezhou's chopsticks tapped on the edge of the plate: "Who is so caring?"

Bi Guo pushed the phone out, sat upright, and answered Jian Xuezhou with a smile: "It's about work."

It's okay not to mention work, but when Jian Xuezhou didn't let out the anger, he gathered again.

The environment will be quiet, and it is also a good time to teach children at the dinner table or in TV dramas.

Jian Xuezhou picked up a bean, chewed and ate it slowly, and slowly spit out two words: "B sign?"

Bi Guo, who was about to drink the soup, shook his hands, dropped the spoon, and stared wide-eyed: "Wang Zezhen reported to you? Why is she like this? How old is she, and this thing still bothers you, sister, you don't know what to do every day." so busy..."

Jian Xuezhou looked up at her, Bi Guo's voice weakened, and after a while, he said in a daze, "Oh."

"Oh what?"

"B sign," Bi Guo blinked and looked pitifully, "Oh."

"Is there anything to say?" Jian Xuezhou's eyes were still on the food.

"Nothing." Bi Guo replied simply.

Jian Xuezhou didn't ask her what happened before and after, what wronged her and what she thought.Just let the things that have been done continue to progress.

"Can you sign it?" she asked.

"I can sign it!" Bi Guo said firmly, "Sign B is just a work sign. In Jinjiang alone, there are a lot of qualified ones."

Jian Xuezhou twitched the corners of her mouth, laughing at her naivety: "Among this bunch, how many authors have never been published?"

"Sister Jian, you are really amazing!" Bi Guo flattered her, "I caught the point of the problem right away!"

Jian Xuezhou exhaled, feeling that he was full.

"I'll start with the least hopeful but hottest masters, and most of them won't reply to my private messages." Bi Guo began to report the battle situation, "Even if someone replied, back and forth, or even just opened an The pre-received works have already sold their copyrights."

"They all have publishing companies and editors they have worked with for a long time. I am looking for these just in case." Bi Guo raised his eyebrows, a little excited, "What if I get lucky and meet a publishing company that happens to be right for me now?" Or the author who is dissatisfied with the editor, even if she said a few more words to me, I would still be embarrassed. Today I can’t afford the book of the great god, who knows if I will have the qualifications and qualifications in half a year? .”

Jian Xuezhou smiled, and Bi Guo continued to chatter: "And it won't take me too much time and energy to ask these great gods, because I usually read their books and I know them very well, so my communication is very sincere. "

Bi Guo waved his hand, quite poised: "It will definitely not cause resentment, and smear us White Oak."

Jian Xuezhou asked: "How was the result?"

"It's expected." Bi Guo is very optimistic, "I have tried everything that should be tried for a small probability event, and the rest is God's business."

Seeing her lively and energetic appearance, Jian Xuezhou dissipated the unhappiness in her heart inexplicably. She leaned back on the back of the chair and asked with interest: "And then?"

"Then I skipped the second echelon and went to the third echelon." Bi Guo said, "This is my advantage again. After all, I am an author of web articles, and I know where the authors of major websites gather. Send a message , cast a wide net, so that I will get a large number of manuscripts. Of course, the probability of these manuscripts hitting the B lottery is also very small."

"So I don't need to spend too much time filtering, and I can even save it and watch it slowly. After the B visa, I have to continue to work. The C visa and the general visa are all visas."

"Well, continue." Jian Xuezhou smiled with his lips hooked.

Bi Guo simply stood up, she walked to Jian Xuezhou, and gestured while talking: "The next step is the most probable and most important part. I must take the initiative to choose this part. In order to save time, I will start with the most familiar part. Starting from Jinjiang, for newly published essays with good grades, scan the VIP new essay list and monthly list, and make up for any omissions in the quarterly list.”

"The new writers who are suddenly popular are the focus of attention. Their works meet the data requirements, and most of them have not been signed away." Bi Guo pointed to the phone, "I have made a list of versions, and now I am communicating one by one. .”

"Not all articles are suitable for publication." Jian Xue said thoughtfully.

"Wang Ze likes to look at the popularity and data. If there is something inappropriate, she can change it. She is the final judge, and she has to do what she likes."

"Don't you look down on her?" Jian Xuezhou asked with a smile.

"I don't look down on her at all." Bi Guo pursed his lips, "I'm just not happy with the atmosphere in the group."

"I'm not happy with the atmosphere, so I pushed myself to the edge of the cliff?" Jian Xuezhou said, "Wang Ze told me about this now, just to inform me in advance, as long as you don't do it, she will kick you out of the group."

Bi Guo was a little inappropriately happy. In Wang Ze's eyes, she was the one tied to Jian Xuezhou.

She lowered her head and smiled, Jian Xuezhou frowned and said, "Still laughing?"

Bi Guo walked over, sat on the chair next to Jian Xuezhou, reached out and tugged at the sleeves of her clothes.

"Sister, don't worry, I won't embarrass you. In martial arts novels, whenever the protagonist reaches the edge of a cliff, it is a god-given opportunity."

"You are the main character?"

"I've been living with someone as outstanding as you, so I naturally have the aura of the protagonist."

"poor."

"I just don't like them bullying the newcomers, so I don't jump into their tricks. Compared with the crisis, it's more beneficial to do so. An editor who just joined the company on the second day and was still an assistant, got his own draft s right?"

"show off."

"Hmph, if I'm really unlucky, I still have the last life-saving talisman!"

Jian Xuezhou looked over and saw that this little boy had almost pulled off the sleeves of her clothes, his body was crooked, and if he moved closer, he was about to nest in her arms.

The last life-saving talisman, thanks to the confidence that she dared to say, she didn't know where it came from, so she was so sure that she would protect her.

Jian Xuezhou pushed the person out, looked into her eyes, and asked knowingly, "What life-saving talisman?"

Bi Guo grinned: "It's so far away from the horizon!"

Just as Jian Xuezhou laughed, he was ready to end today's lesson. The little kid raised his hand and pointed at himself.

"Me!" Bi Guo said proudly, "Wang Ze wants to sign my book, and the contract hasn't been finalized yet."

Jian Xuezhou's smile disappeared for a moment, she pushed Bi Guo away expressionlessly, and stood up: "You can."

"Hey, I might!" Bi Guo said excitedly, completely oblivious to the rapidly changing emotions of this man.

Jian Xuezhou turned around and walked towards the side: "Clean up the table, it's time to code, it's time to work overtime."

"Okay!" Bi Guo spoke in a singing tone, "Sister, if you have nothing to do, go to bed early!"

Jian Xuezhou didn't go to bed earlier, Jian Xuezhou had to complain to Xia Ling for at least 10 minutes about this self-righteous bad puppy.

Of course, Jian Xuezhou couldn't say a word about what Bi Guo did, but when talking to her mother about the child, as long as she asked her, Xia Ling could chat for 10 minutes by herself about the good and bad things that Bi Guo did as a child.

While reading, Jian Xuezhou felt much more comfortable when he glanced at the long paragraphs sent by Xia Ling from time to time.

In the next two days, Jian Xuezhou did not receive a call from Wang Ze again.

Knowing what Bi Guo was going to do, when Jian Xuezhou passed the editorial hall, he would have a special taste when he saw the happy, sad, excited, and frustrated expressions on the little kid's face.

She didn't intend to interfere in this matter, because it was really interesting after all.

Seeing her constantly tossing, resisting, and putting those young ideas into action, Jian Xuezhou felt a strange sense of pleasure watching a youth idol drama.

But the heroine herself doesn't think so, Bi Guo has never been so busy, in order to complete the task efficiently, Bi Guo has countless parallel lines in his head.

She has to write down each item clearly, arrange it properly, and then organize it into categories.

These are not the most tiring and difficult. The most tiring and difficult thing is that there is finally hope for a certain line, a burst of heartbeat, anxiety, communication is confirmed, back and forth, and finally get a disappointing answer.

This will make her feel that there is no place to find when you step through the iron shoes, and no place to find is no place to find.

Bi Guo didn't want to use that last life-saving talisman, because even if Wang Ze gave her the B lottery, signing for herself would be tantamount to failure and her compromise with the Huaze group.

It was approaching six o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, and the entire editorial hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere of "the weekend is coming".

Looking carefully, although everyone is still busy with their own affairs, the expressions on their faces, and even the focus of their eyes, are no longer at work.

Older employees, as well as some team leaders and editors, have gathered together and started to discuss in a low voice, where to eat and where to play.

Hao Mengmeng was holding a redacted manuscript in her hand, flipping through it very slowly, and glanced at the time on the computer from time to time.

Only Bi Guo, as if he was on the verge of death, tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly.

At 55:[-], the crowd gradually got up and alienated.

At 58:[-], Han Ju left, Hao Mengmeng turned off the computer, packed her bags, and waited quietly for Bi Guo.

At exactly six o'clock, Bi Guo typed the last word, without hesitation, turned off the computer, and picked up the bag.

Hao Mengmeng took her arm and walked out with her along with the current.

"Have you found the right one?" Hao Mengmeng asked in a low voice.

"No." Bi Guo replied succinctly.

Hao Mengmeng carefully observed Bi Guo's expression, and saw that her expression was as usual, and there was nothing unusual about her, so she dared to say a few more words: "Don't worry, there is still time, the draft depends on fate, and it is often settled , it’s just one day’s time.”

"Yeah." Bi Guo responded, paused, turned his head and smiled at Hao Mengmeng, "It's okay, I know what I know, don't worry about me."

The two entered the elevator and were squeezed into the innermost corner. Hao Mengmeng tiptoed to Bi Guo's ear and whispered to her, "I have an author here, and I should be able to get a B."

Bi Guo was stunned, and after getting out of the elevator, he rubbed her head hard: "Fool."

Hao Mengmeng didn't mind such a title, so she cheerfully asked her before parting, "Guoguo, shall we all go downstairs for dinner next week?"

"Go downstairs in the first half of the week." Bi Guo said, "When I get the B sign, we will go to the cafeteria to eat."

Hao Mengmeng opened her mouth, and Bi Guo immediately said, "Of course I won't help her with cooking, I will do it myself, and I will have enough food and clothing."

On the first weekend after going to work again, Bi Guo didn't dare to treat the weekend as a weekend at all.

She continued her manhunt, and after hitting a wall, she went to read the manuscripts of uneven quality in the mailbox.

Compared with the repetitive and disappointing work, the daily update of "Cohabitation" even became a kind of relaxation for Bi Guo.

Because as long as she writes, there will be comments and responses.Instead of sinking into the sea and disappearing without a trace.

This weekend, she didn't have time to go out to buy snacks, to look at the flowers and plants on the balcony, or even to talk to Jian Xuezhou during meals.

The last point made her sad the most, but when Bi Guo saw that beautiful person, she kept comforting herself. Everything she did now was to stand by Jian Xuezhou's side and become an excellent person like her.

This is her eternally passionate dream.

On Sunday afternoon, twilight had just risen.Bi Guo was sitting in front of the computer and scrolling through the list of new articles on the website. Jian Xuezhou knocked on the door of her bedroom and said, "Bi Guo, stop for a moment."

Bi Guo turned his head, his finger was still on the mouse, and asked her, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"Let's go have dinner." Jian Xuezhou replied.

"Huh?" Bi Guo was stunned, "Going out to eat? I'm sorry, Sister Jane, I don't have time."

Jian Xuezhou said: "Do you know why White Oak's headquarters is in Hongcheng, but the capital only opened a branch?"

Bi Guo smiled and let himself relax: "Because the rent in the capital is too expensive?"

Jian Xuezhou also laughed, and said softly, "Because there is nothing else in Hongcheng, there are authors everywhere."

Bi Guo heard the word "author" now, like a hungry man hearing braised pork.

Especially the authors mentioned from Jian Xuezhou's mouth, at least they are all serious and well-known people.

Bi Guo stood up abruptly: "Sister, you mean... you want to give me the addresses of certain authors?!"

All kinds of bloody routines of film and television dramas that the editor went to the author's house to ask for books flashed through her head. Jian Xuezhou entered her room and tapped her head with his fingers: "Have you become a fool after working overtime for two days?"

Bi Guo was brought back to her senses by the scent near her and the sound on her head. She opened her eyes wide: "Sister, you want to take me to meet the author?"

"No, I'll take you to dinner." Jian Xue said thoughtfully, "It happens that there are two friends together."

Bi Guo seemed to see a bright future, and was very excited: "Okay, okay, what a coincidence, let's go eat!"

But her excitement lasted until half an hour later, the four of them sat at a table.

The man with fair and thin skin, creases at the corners of his eyes, but a soft voice, just changed seats with Bi Guo.

Nowadays, men hand over water for a while, and paper for a while, and show courtesy to Jian Xuezhou.

But Bi Guo could only watch from the opposite side, and her heart of "coming this trip is to seduce the author" had long been left behind by her.

Bi Guo stared at Jian Xuezhou and asked her: "Sister Jian, do you think the vinegar in this family is very sour?"

"Huh? Acetic acid?" Jian Xuezhou looked down at his dishes, "I didn't get any vinegar."

Bi Guo didn't even blink: "I ate it, it's so sour."

Jian Xuezhou handed her a bottle of mineral water: "Taste the taste."

"It can't be washed away."

"What should I do?"

"Sister, accompany me to the bathroom." Bi Guo's logic was chaotic and he made trouble out of no reason.
