Years of painting GL

Chapter 13 First Contribution

This is not the first time Shen Chai has seen Xia Yu's paintings, but now she admits that she was a little surprised.

Xia Yu turned on the computer, and Shen Chai stared at the screen with one hand on the table.

She was speechless, and she just felt that she was really amazed.

In front of me is a world of warm yellow ice and snow. The snow has both an accumulated thickness and a delicate texture.It was so beautiful that it could not be described in words, she just stared at it intently and didn't speak.

Xia Yu looked up at her who was silent like this, feeling a little uneasy.She didn't know whether her drawing was too bad or her drawing was too good.

After a while, Shen Chai seemed to have made up his mind.He lowered his head, looked at Xia Yu, and said cautiously, "Do you want to contribute your painting as the cover or illustration of a magazine?" 'She wasn't sure if it was the cover, after all, she couldn't be sure by herself.What she can be sure of is that if Xia Yu agrees, this picture will definitely appear in the next issue of Shi Nian Hua.She didn't know why she had such an idea, because she wanted more people to see Xia Yu's paintings and see her talent.Wanting to see this picture appear on Shi Nian Hua again, it is obviously not her magazine anymore, so she smiled helplessly.

Xia Yu could hardly believe what she heard, but a kind of joy could not help but well up in her heart.Her tentative work was recognized and her days of practice paid off.

She nodded firmly.Her original intention was to help Shen Chai, now that she finally had the chance, how could she disagree.As for the location, is it the cover or the illustration, is there a difference? Not all of them are the same.

With Xia Yu's consent, Shen Chai's face showed a gleam of joy.

Xia Yu looked at Shen Chai, and she couldn't help being happy, not just for her paintings.She doesn't care about these insignificant things, she only cares about her, every minute and every second with her.

Xia Yu never thought that her paintings would actually appear in magazines.

It was a day not long after, when her deskmate was reading a magazine, and she saw the illustration from a distance.

It was the December issue of Shi Nian Painting, she didn't know what it was, but she knew that painting.

Not sure, she took a few glances.

That painting was drawn by her.

When she looked at the painting, a complex emotion suddenly rose in her heart. She could almost think of the scene on the day she painted, that snowy day, that person.

There were almost no changes, and the painting was presented in front of her eyes.It was drawn by her, a voice in her heart chattered to her.Her work was presented before her eyes in an unprecedented way.She felt that her heart and her thoughts were also presented in front of her eyes and in front of the world.

She likes that feeling, even enjoys that feeling.

She buried her face in the book, not wanting others to see her emotions.Even she didn't realize it herself, she smiled, the corners of her mouth curled up like sunshine.

She would not know how much effort Shen Chai had put in for this.

She wouldn't know, this was the beginning of a stage in her life, maybe it can't be said that, her new life started from the day she met Shen Chai, and this incident was just a continuation.This is the beginning of a new stage in her artistic career.

Shen Chai slapped her immediate boss's desk, and her long skirt fluttered as she entered the door.Liu Yan, who was immersed in his work, jumped, and quickly picked up the glasses next to the document and put them on.After seeing clearly that it was Shen Chai, he smiled a little, "Sister Shen, what's the matter with you?"

"What's going on here?" Shen Chai pointed to a document and asked Liu Yan with a cold face.

Liu Yan leaned over and took a closer look, and found that it was the finalization notice for the cover of the next issue.

'Well, what's the problem?' He was a little puzzled.

Shen Chai didn't know what anxiety and firmness she had when she submitted Xia Yu's manuscript in the editorial group, and what kind of expectation she waited until the entire editorial department finalized the manuscript, and received How happy she was with the result.

She didn't expect that Liu Yan would be rejected by one vote.

This kind of thing happened more than once, after Liu Yan took over Shi Nianhui.

Their department worked so hard to select and revise manuscripts, but Liu Yan insisted on going his own way and ignored them.

She never cared about it, and she knew that it was useless for her to care about it.She can bear it as long as she can, after all, this is not the painting of the past year of her and Su Nian, but now it is the painting of the year of Liu Yan alone.This man seems to be smiling, but his heart is dirtier than anyone else.

Now she feels that she can't bear it anymore, she is about to succeed, how can she give up because of what others have done.

Because I see the dawn, I am not afraid of the thorns.

'Why do you want to change our decision? You can't do this. This is a matter for our US editorial department and has nothing to do with you. ' Shen Chai said these words almost word for word, the cold arc of her mouth was like a cutting knife.

'Calm down, I'm the editor-in-chief, I have the final say. The smile on the corner of Liu Yan's mouth became more prominent, and he went on to say, "The cover is very important to sales, how can you rush a newcomer to draw the cover." '

'It's not like you can't see her strength.Nothing she painted is worse than the cover you recognize now, or even far better than it.You don't understand at all. '

Shen Chai was right.Liu Yan really can't see the difference between the two paintings at all. He only recognizes fame, not quality, and he hardly has any aesthetic appreciation for art.

He is a businessman, a businessman through and through.He is not Shen Chai, he does not have Shen Chai's pure affection for art and honest heart, he only has money interests in his eyes.

'Okay, you go out first, this matter is settled. There was no room for negotiation with the cold smile on Liu Yan's face.

Shen Chai was speechless, after all, nothing she could do could change the status quo, and the current Shi Nianhui was not up to her.

She slammed the door hard, and her high heels made a heavy sound on the ground.

She walked to the rest area, looked at the bustling street scene outside the window, and subconsciously touched her pocket.

no smoke.

Shen Chai smiled helplessly, she had already quit smoking.

She took out her mobile phone, not knowing what to do.

She suddenly thought of a person, the person who passed by in her life but left an unforgettable mark, that is the person who founded "Shinianhua" with her.She knew that she would definitely help her, but she didn't want to ask her for help.

After hesitating for a while, she still took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, a number that was not displayed but was already familiar to her.

The phone beeped.

'Hi' On the other end of the phone was Su Nian's gentle but trembling voice.

Su Nian was working when she received a call from Shen Chai.When she saw the familiar but unfamiliar contact, she could hardly believe it. She thought she would never call her again.After confirming, she carefully picked up the phone.

'Su Nian, it's me. ' Shen Chai's voice was dry and hoarse.

This is no longer her problem alone, even if it is not for herself, it is also for Xia Yu, for the art in her heart.

She told Su Nian the whole story of the incident.

Su Nian was silent for a long time on the phone, and finally promised, 'Well, I will definitely help. '

With Su Nian's promise, Shen Chai finally let go of her hanging heart.She has been with her for many years, and she believes that she will not break her promise.She breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, when the sample draft was in her hand, she did not see Xia Yu's painting on the cover.The cover is still the one designated by Liu Yan.She seemed a little unwilling, but she also understood that she knew it would be like this.

She flipped it casually, and when she reached the back cover, her breath was stagnant.

She felt as if she saw something, and turned back.

Almost at the same time, she received a text message from Su Nian, 'I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do.Liu Yan has already made a decision, so I don't have much to say.But I asked him to add that picture to the inside page. '

Sure enough, she saw the snow scene of Xiayu on the inside page.

She stroked it with her hand, feeling the texture of the picture.He picked it up and smelled it again, and he could still smell the fragrance of ink.

There was a burst of sadness in her heart, which continued to overflow and almost became a disaster.

Su missed her and helped her.

Shen Chai doesn't know if it's pure intolerance or if she still retains the passion of the past.She smiled helplessly to herself, it must not be the latter.

She shook her head, letting herself stop thinking about it.

She wanted Xia Yu to know the news immediately.

Xia Yu knew what kind of reaction she would have when her painting appeared in the magazine, would she be delighted, or be silent and indifferent like before, or both.She guessed Xia Yu's reaction, with a smile on her face.She hadn't been this happy in a long time.

She hummed a song, and on the way home from get off work, she bought some vegetables at the vegetable market, wanting to celebrate Xia Yu.

When she got home, Xia Yu hadn't finished school yet. After thinking about it, she put away the Shi Nian Hua, and wanted to give Xia Yu a surprise.

She prepared several special dishes and waited for Xia Yu to come home.

Soon, Xia Yu arrived home.His face was calm, and he couldn't see the waves that should have been there.

'Come back, wash your hands and eat. ' Shen Chai's voice came from the sofa.

'Um. Xia Yu put down her schoolbag and put on her slippers.

They sat at the dining table and ate in silence.

In front of me is a meat, two vegetables, three side dishes plus a soup, which is more refreshing.Stir-fried vegetables, boiled tofu, green pepper shrimp, seaweed soup.

Xia Yu ate bite by bite, staring at the seaweed floating in the soup in a daze.

She just used this to hide her emotions, and she knew she couldn't bear it any longer.

Seeing my painting appear in Shen Chai's magazine, I am even happier than when I won the world award.

At this moment, Shen Chai, who was sitting across from her, could hardly bear it anymore. She really wanted to tell the news, but she felt that it was not the time yet.

Finally, when the two of them were about to finish eating, she still said, "Yu'er, your painting has appeared on the cover of this issue of Shi Nian Hua." 'In her words, she couldn't hide the gushing joy.She took out the Shi Nianhua as if by magic, and placed it in front of Xia Yu.

'Um. Xia Yu didn't move, just lowered her head, and said in an understatement, indicating that she knew.

She knew that even if she didn't know at school, Shen Chai would definitely tell her.

Shen Chai looked at Xia Yu's silent expression, a little puzzled, and more frustrated.It's not that she hasn't thought about this possibility, but she still can't accept it, no one will be so indifferent to the results of her hard work, right?

She smiled wryly and was speechless.

Xia Yu secretly observed Shen Chai's facial expression from joy to disappointment, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

She likes this feeling, likes to be cared about, likes to be expected.

"What are you laughing at?" Sensing Xia Yu's sudden laughter, Shen Chai felt a little inexplicable, and felt terrified.

Xia Yu deliberately kept things a secret, and said word by word, "I knew about the book in school, and I was so excited that I was going crazy." 'The uncontrollable satisfaction and smile on her face' Thank you, Sister Shen, for helping me so much. '

She solemnly picked up the magazine, which was not heavy in itself, but weighed a thousand dollars to her, and held it in her heart.

She suddenly froze again because she saw the tears in the corners of Xia Yu's eyes.

The tears in the corners of Xia Yu's eyes glistened under the lamp, and the smile on his face was as dazzling as the tears.

'Sister Shen, thank you.Really, thank you. ' She wiped away her tears, but couldn't stop them, they flowed down like a clear spring' You gave me more hope than I've ever seen in my life.You warmed my years and brightened the rest of my life. '

Shen Chai couldn't help being moved too, she stroked Xia Yu's hair. 'Don't say thank you and don't be afraid anymore.Since you called me sister, I will always be by your side. '

There was a sentence that Shen Chai didn't say.What she wants to say is that as long as Xia Yu doesn't give up, she will never leave.It's just that she was afraid, she was afraid that Xia Yu would leave her, just as suddenly as when it appeared in her life.

She used her eyes to describe the girl's delicate face over and over again.Calm as water but full of delighted eyes, high ~ straight nose bridge, beautifully curved lips.

That's it, that's fine.As long as you don't think about it, don't think about the future, and keep everything as it is, everything will be fine.

She walked over and gently hugged Xia Yu into her arms.Feeling the warmth of the person in her arms, she strengthened her heart even more. No matter what, she would not give up first.

Xia Yu looked up at Shen Chai with complicated emotions in her eyes.

There is gratitude and firmness, but there is no confusion.
