Shoulder to shoulder

During the descent down the mountain, Bi Guo kept silent.

Jian Xuezhou looked at her several times, but Bi Guo didn't even notice, and walked his own way blankly, with no clear focus in his eyes.

Jian Xuezhou paid attention to her footsteps, fearing that she would fall, and when he got down the mountain, he didn't go to the restaurant recommended by Ji Lan for dinner, and left Liantai Mountain by car.

After entering the urban area, I found a random restaurant. When the food was served, the waiter retreated. Then Jian Xuezhou asked Bi Guo: "How did the chat go?"

Bi Guo stuffed his mouth and looked at Jian Xuezhou in a daze for a moment: "Very, very good."

"You look pretty good?" Jian Xuezhou asked back.

"Sister, have you been worried about me?" Bi Guo said suddenly, "Worried about my mental state."

Jian Xuezhou was poked at the center, pursed his lips and did not speak.

When Xia Ling contacted her before and wanted her to visit Bi Guo, she talked a lot about Bi Guo's situation.

From a mother's point of view, although the child seldom went home for four years in college, the family knew where she was and what she was doing.

However, after graduation, the family knew almost nothing about Bi Guo's work and life except that Bi Guo was in Hongcheng.

When talking about the reason, Xia Ling always hesitated, and in the end she just let out a long sigh, saying that there were some things that could not be communicated.

The inability to communicate has resulted in a lack of trust, and no longer communicate.

Bi Guo calls regularly, buys gifts for his parents, and looks very calm when replying to his parents' messages.But it is this calm that makes people worry.

Xia Ling said that the girl next door was the same age as Bi Guo, and when she graduated and entered the society, she was often the most confused and entangled, and when it was easiest to rebuild the three views, the mother next door always sighed and said that it was not easy for young people nowadays, but Xia Ling kept saying Words can't get in.

In Jian Xuezhou's impression, Bi Guo is not an introverted girl who doesn't talk much. She always remembers those shining eyes like dogs, and she is full of fresh curiosity about the world.

So when all this was fed back to Jian Xuezhou, especially when Jian Xuezhou knew what Bi Guo's job was, the matter of "Biguo's mental state is not very good" was deeply imprinted in her mind. .

Immersed in this circle for more than ten years, Jian Xuezhou himself is the author, and the most contacted are all kinds of authors.

No one knows better than her what emotions the author is most likely to fall into.

What's more, as soon as they met, Bi Guo had the most contact with friends, and his mental state collapsed.

Jian Xuezhou looked at Bi Guo, his worries were all in his eyes, Bi Guo smiled and said, "Sister, I'm really fine."

She pointed to the food in front of her: "If you want to know what we said, I will tell you. We talked while eating."

Afterwards, they really talked while eating, and Bi Guo spoke in great detail, without treating Jian Xuezhou as an outsider at all.

Jian Xuezhou got to know her pretty well, and asked her, "You came to work just for me?"

Bi Guo blinked: "Although it seems to be more affectionate for you, but in fact this is my own business, and I understand it in my heart."

"Well." Jian Xue said thoughtfully, "Extrinsic motivation is not as good as intrinsic motivation."

"Well, I always feel that I have failed to go to work after graduation." Bi Guo looked down at the dishes on the plate, "So I want to come out this time to make up for the failure."

"You did a good job." Jian Xue said thoughtfully.

Bi Guo raised his head and laughed: "The main reason is that you are my sister, you are my golden finger, otherwise I would have been kicked out by Wang Ze within two days after I came in."

"Without me, you might be more restrained."

"That's right, hahahaha..." Bi Guo laughed for a long time, then suddenly stopped smiling, "But it won't last long."

She looked at Jian Xuezhou, a little confused: "I'm still not suitable for work."

"Most people go from [-] to [-] because they have no other way to go." Jian Xue thoughtfully, "You have it, so you don't have to think about whether it's suitable or not. It's your own choice, as long as you like it."

"Hmm." Bi Guo nodded.

Jian Xuezhou paused, and said: "But no matter what kind of life you live, you must ensure that your body and mental state are healthy."

Bi Guo put down his chopsticks, stood up, walked to Jian Xuezhou, and pushed her to sit down.

Jian Xuezhou let her hug her arm, raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you acting like a baby?"

Bi Guo just laughed, and she asked Jian Xuezhou: "Sister, why do you go to work?"

"Because writing is not enough to consume all my energy." Jian Xue said thoughtfully.

Bi Guo sighed, his eyes full of admiration: "Sister, you are such a genius."

"how about you?"

"I'm an ordinary person with a little cleverness."

On the way back to Hongcheng from Beishi, Jian Xuezhou received news from Bailu Studio.

She handed the phone to Bi Guo at the first time, and Bi Guo covered his mouth, if he was not in public, he would definitely scream.

"I knew it, I knew it." Bi Guo grabbed Jian Xuezhou's hand and held it very hard, "Sister, you have already done it yourself, and you must be able to take it."

"So happy?" Jian Xuezhou couldn't help laughing when he saw her brows and eyes crooked with joy.

"Aren't you happy?!" Bi Guo glared at her.

"I'm used to it." Jian Xue said thoughtfully, "I'm not so happy anymore."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Bi Guo shook his head, "Mr. Jian is Mr. Jian, neither happy with things nor sad with oneself."

Just after boasting, the voice changed and said: "My reward, reward reward."

"You said you would cooperate with us, did you say you were the editor in charge?" Jian Xuezhou glanced at her.

"Soon." Bi Guoke said confidently, "Just wait and see."

It was already dark when the two arrived home, and after a simple dinner, Bi Guo went into his room. Jian Xuezhou washed the fruit and called her, but she didn't come out.

Passing by the door of the master bedroom, Bi Guo glanced at it, and Bi Guo was sitting in front of the computer with his back bowed, mainly using the mouse.

In retouching.

Jian Xuezhou smiled.

But when he got up early the next morning and saw Bi Guo's two big dark circles, Jian Xuezhou couldn't laugh anymore.

She slapped the little kid on the back and asked her, "What time did you go to sleep?"

"A little late, twelve o'clock." Bi Guo squeezed into the bathroom.

"Twelve o'clock?" Jian Xuezhou lifted her collar, "Comrade Pecan, do you think your sister and I are a little silly because of our age?"

"02:30." Bi Guo immediately confessed honestly, standing up straight and admitting his mistake was very good, "It was an accident, only this time, I made a mistake, and it won't happen again in the future."

"What's wrong?" Jian Xuezhou asked knowingly.

"Hey, sister, wait a minute." Bi Guo slipped back into the room and took out his mobile phone, "I can fix Mr. Bailu's set of pictures... Fuck, I always forget about my bad screen."

Jian Xuezhou sighed, went back to the room and opened the drawer, took out a box, and threw it into Bi Guo's arms: "It's changed."

"Huh?" Bi Guo stared at the box, "Sis, when did you buy it?"

"I have a spare." Jian Xue said thoughtfully.

"It's exactly the same as yours!" Bi Guo opened the box and was overjoyed, "After the couple outfits, we have couple phones!"

Jian Xuezhou was busy washing his face and brushing his teeth, so he ignored her.

Bi Guo immediately took out the card, installed it on the new phone, fiddled with it for a while, and when Jian Xuezhou finished washing, he put the clear screen in front of her.

"Is it nice?" she asked.

Jian Xuezhou looked down, it was beautiful, it was really beautiful.

Bailu himself is average in appearance, but he has temperament, and Bi Guo has captured this temperament.

The post-production was also done well, without deliberately modifying the facial features, but the skin was treated with texture, and the tone was well adjusted, light and elegant.

Jian Xuezhou and Bailu have known each other for so long, and knew that this style would indeed be Bailu's favorite style. What is surprising is that Bi Guo has only known Bailu for a few days, and he has accurately grasped this style.

She raised her eyebrows and praised sincerely: "Very good."

"Really? Really!" Excited, Bi Guoke asked repeatedly, "Is the color okay? Is it okay to repair the face to this extent? Is it suitable for promotional pictures?"

Jian Xuezhou praised in another way: "Actually, I was wrong that day."

"Huh?" Bi Guo became nervous instantly.

"You not only have two paths to choose from." Jian Xuezhou smiled and pointed to the phone, "There is also a third path."

"Ah." Bi Guo was stunned, "Sister, you are too good at complimenting others."

"Because you are a smart person..." Jian Xuezhou pointed his finger at the tip of Bi Guo's nose and said with a smile, "Puppy."

Bi Guo hurriedly edited the photo, just to give himself a good impression before the official cooperation between Bai Lu and Bai Oak.

After returning to the company after this business trip, Bi Guo felt refreshed.

Thinking about it carefully, before the business trip, she still thought about how to wash off the dirty water that Wang Ze poured on her, but now she already felt that it was not important.

The leader of a group will definitely slander you, even if you are cleaned up this time, then next time, next time.After all, he is here to be an editor, not for Gongdou.

The problem must be solved fundamentally.

Bi Guo used his lunch break to adjust the last few photos, then packed them and sent them to Bailu.

Before going to work in the afternoon, she received a reply from Egret, saying that it was very beautiful and she liked it very much.

Bi Guo chatted with her for a few words, did not mention the upcoming cooperation of the new book, only said that as long as Bailu likes it, whether it is a signing event or a personal photo, Bi Guo is willing to shoot for Bailu again.

After chatting here, when it was time to work, Bi Guo finished processing the few drafts left in his hand and started chatting with the authors.

Especially An An, the author of "Lovesickness", the two have a very pleasant communication on weekdays, and now she needs to sublimate this happiness into a revolutionary friendship.

Before leaving get off work, Bi Guo said to An'an, "I really hope that we can cooperate with you when you write this book. I have already thought about the layout of the cover."

An'an, the crucian carp, quickly replied: As long as you are willing to do it, I will definitely give it to you.

It was an ordinary week, Wang Ze was still away from the company most of the time, and Han Ju still ignored Bi Guo and Hao Mengmeng.

Bi Guo worked hard, and the publishing house finally completed the three schools and three trials. "Lovesickness" was released on Friday, and it went to the printing factory on the weekend.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Jian Xue is not at home on weekends. Bi Guo used these two days to sort out the thoughts of "Cohabitation", wrote [-] words in one breath, and marked the end of this special book.

As night fell, Bi Guo wrapped himself in a blanket and stared at the computer screen. Unable to restrain his emotions for a moment, he sniffled and shed two tears for no reason.

The phone lit up in the dark, it was a message from Ji Lan, she said: "It's over?"

- well, it's over.

- What's the next book?

-Not ready yet.

- You said before that when you make money, you can be self-willed and open a book in StarCraft.

- well, i said so.

- You're not who you used to be, are you?

- no, it's all me.

"I'm just walking forward." Bi Guo murmured.

She quit the chat page with Ji Lan, changed her job number and sent a message to Bailu:

- Teacher Bailu, I would like to ask you, has your original wish come true now?What more do you want now?
