secretly kiss the moon

Early autumn.

The sun was just right in the afternoon, the sky was blue, the wind was blowing gently, and there was a faint scent of osmanthus in the air.

In the company, Yan Xi stretched her body after revising the drawings. Since her works appeared in Teacher Gu Qing's exhibition, she has more and more orders in her hand.

At this time, Nan Yan walked out of the tea room with a cup in hand and very thoughtfully made a cup of coffee for her. Yan Xi took it and said thank you.

When Nan Yan first came to the company, the manager didn't trust her to give her orders, so he only arranged for her to be a small assistant, doing nothing every day and helping others.

Later, Yan Xi fought for her a chance in front of her manager, and then she slowly started to get involved in creation. Although she didn't handle many orders, she was already satisfied because Yan Xi had told her that she had to take her time in everything.

Whether she was in college or now, she was very grateful to Yan Xi for helping her, and even regarded her as her goal.

She felt that Yan Xi would definitely be able to break into a world of illustration in the future, just like her idol, Teacher Gu Qing.

Yan Xi pushed up the blue light-blocking glasses on his face and looked at the drawing carefully.

The vibrating sound of her mobile phone disturbed her thoughts. She found the lit mobile phone under a pile of information. When she saw the caller ID, she was a little shocked, and then she swiped to answer it.

"Hello, monitor."

Si Chen on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It's been so long since you graduated, and you're still called class monitor?"

Yan Xi smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I'm used to it, Ban... Si Chen, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Yan Xi, have you heard of the famous writer Tian Zhou?"

"I have seen his works."

Tian Zhou, a well-known contemporary writer, has won many national and international literary awards.The stories he creates are very down-to-earth, the language is very plain and popular, there are not too many gorgeous words, and the delicate emotional descriptions can quickly draw readers into it.

Yan Xi has read several of his books, and the most impressive one is a long story describing social life in urban and rural areas. The background of the story took place in the late 70s and early 80s. The article mainly depicts the lives of many ordinary people from all walks of life at that time. The images; labor and love, frustration and pursuit, and daily life, profoundly demonstrate the difficult and tortuous path that ordinary people have traveled in the historical process of the great era.

She knew this writer, but when Si Chen called her at this time, he probably didn't just want to chat with her.

Si Chen on the other end of the phone continued, "I had the honor to meet him recently and chatted for a few words. I learned that he was about to publish a novel, and the book needed the design of ancient illustrations, so I recommended you to him. , Yan Xi, this is a good opportunity to stand out."

After hearing this, Yan Xi couldn't help but get excited. The book illustrations by the famous writer Tian Zhou must be works worthy of a master level. However, since she has such an opportunity to express herself, she will certainly take advantage of it.

"Thank you, senior, I will definitely take advantage of it."

"Then are you free tomorrow? We can discuss the main content first at a coffee shop near your company."

"Okay Si Chen, we'll see you tomorrow."

Yan Xi hung up the phone and hugged Nan Yan beside him with some excitement.

"Yanyan, this is Teacher Tian Zhou's work. Ah!"

Nan Yan hugged her back, feeling happy for her from the bottom of her heart, "Xixi, you are going to be famous."

Yan Xi coughed slightly and pretended to be calm, "No, no, this is just an opportunity to compete. It's hard to say whether it will be successful or not."

Teacher Tian Zhou's works will definitely have many master-level illustrators coming to compete. She needs to think carefully about what kind of creative style can make her stand out among many good works.

Yan Xi let go of Nan Yan and opened the web page to check out Master Tian Zhou's latest work. "Guo" is his latest work. The work tells the stories of countries in many periods from ancient times to the present. Different dynasties require illustrations. The genre will also change according to the story.

She decided to read this work carefully after work.

Nan Yan looked at Yan Xi silently, pursed her lips tightly, with a tangled look in her eyes. After a moment, she cautiously opened her mouth. "Xixi, was it Si Chen who called you just now?"

Yan Xi nodded.

Nan Yan chuckled, "I didn't expect you two to still be in contact."

Sensing that she was a little depressed, Yan Xi asked with concern, "Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

Afraid that she would notice something, Nan Yan immediately defended, "No, what can I have on my mind?"

"Huh? Really?" Yan Xi stepped closer to her, obviously not believing it, and she was obviously feeling guilty.

Noticing that she looked a little flustered, Yan Xi suddenly said in surprise, "Yanyan, could you be..."

"Nothing."

Nan Yan hurriedly interrupted her, "No."

Yan Xi couldn't help but frown, and asked strangely, "Why are you so excited?"

Nan Yan smiled awkwardly, "Then what do you want to say?"

Yan Xi was helpless, "I want to say, is it because your aunt is here and you are in such an abnormal mood?"

"Oh, hahaha."

Nan Yan was even more embarrassed now. She thought Yan Xi had noticed something, but that was what he meant.

What Yan Xi really wanted to say just now was that you probably like Si Chen. You can tell it at a glance by looking like her.

Later, seeing how excited she was, she changed what she wanted to say.

However, she thought that the two of them were quite a match, and since they were both single, it would be a good idea to match them up.

She gently bumped Nan Yan's arm and whispered, "Yanyan, you and I will go see Si Chenbei tomorrow."

This time Nan Yan's mood was much calmer, "You go and talk to him about the work, what am I going to do?"

Yan Xi curled his lips and smiled at her. If you don't go, how can the relationship have a chance to start?

"As you know, my boyfriend is Lu Zhixu. Despite his usually aloof appearance, he can actually get jealous easily. If I go to see Si Chen alone, wouldn't I be afraid that he will get jealous?"

Yan Xi shook her arm and said softly, "So, you go and accompany me, okay?"

She thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Yan Xi curled his lips in satisfaction, thinking about how to cleverly create an opportunity for them to be alone tomorrow.

She glanced at the quiet Nan Yan, "Sisters, how you seize the opportunity depends on you."

Nan Yan looked at the computer screen with a very calm face, but in fact, she was so nervous that she almost couldn't breathe.When she was in college, she had a crush on Si Chen at the first sight. However, at that time, Si Chen only focused on Yan Xi, and she, who was originally humble and cowardly, could only watch from a distance.

During the four years of college, the main topic of conversation with him revolved around Yan Xi, but her thoughts about him had always been hidden in her heart.

It's been more than a year since graduation, and I didn't expect to have the chance to see him again.
