Summer in Shangcheng

Chapter 3
"Here, you can get out of the car." The man said lightly, his eyes shifted, and his eyes were fixed on the front.

His face is expressionless, like a Greek statue when he is still, and everything around him is eclipsed.

Mei Zhixia quickly got out of the car, and the car drove away without stopping.

Standing in place for a few seconds, Mei Zhixia couldn't recover.

That man seemed to know everything about her, this feeling made her terrified even thinking about it.

Just imagine, a strange man follows you, knows your name, and knows where you live...

When the phone rang, Mei Zhixia was startled, she hadn't gotten out of the state just now, she was still in shock.

She raised her hand and looked at the caller ID on her phone. It was Li, the editor of Hua'er Youth Magazine. When she picked it up, the caller immediately yelled at her in a shrill voice: "When will you hand in the manuscript? Last week you said to hand it in." The manuscript has been delayed for so long, where is the manuscript?"

Mei Zhixia patted her chest and replied calmly, "I will send you an email tomorrow morning."

"It's best to see the manuscript tomorrow. If you delay the manuscript every time, and then delay it, don't want to publish any works in our magazine in the future."

Editor Li has a bad temper and is in menopause.

After hanging up the phone, Mei Zhixia entered the community with the oranges in her hand, greeted the gatekeeper as usual before going upstairs.

This is an old-fashioned community, the environment is not too bad, the greenery is not bad, and there is a small park for the elderly to exercise.

Mei Zhixia lives in Room 201 on the second floor of a building. She has lived here for a year and has not changed places. She is quite used to it. Although this area is far from the city center, it is very quiet.

After entering the house, Mei Zhixia turned on the air conditioner first, and after a while, the room became cool.

After dissipating the heat all over her body, she sat on the sofa, peeled a sweet orange and ate it.

She is a freelance cartoonist, earning fees by contributing articles to magazines. Because a group of regular readers and fans support her, Huaer Boy Magazine has been regularly publishing her comic collections in recent months.

She has always endured editor Ms. Li's hot temper. If there is a better choice, she probably won't continue to cooperate with Hua'er Boy. Unfortunately, opportunities are hard to find.

Her income covers her expenses, and she can save some extra, but not much.

Lying on the sofa, the face of the man just now always flashed in her mind. Thinking about it now, she found that the man was unexpectedly handsome, but she had never seen anyone with an expression as indifferent as that man, almost cold .

Moreover, his every move is a bit dull, and so is his expression, a bit like... a robot!

Suddenly this strange thought flashed through her mind, and a new inspiration was born.

Tomorrow's painting collection for editor Li has been completed, and I could have emailed her today, but Mei Zhixia wanted to delay it, making editor Li anxious to get angry, and it would be better to let her get angry and cause constipation.

With new inspiration, Mei Zhixia didn't stay idle, got up and walked to the workbench, and began to conceive the protagonist of the new comic - the robot.

From painting in the afternoon until [-]:[-] in the evening, the image of the protagonist is finally finalized.

He is a young and handsome man, with short hair like ink, cold eyes, tall and straight...

Mei Zhixia scratched her head, feeling a bit like that man, crumpled up the drawing paper and threw it directly into the trash can.

She felt it was wrong and wanted to redesign the image of the protagonist, but after drawing it several times, the result still looked like that man.

The image of that man seemed to be ingrained in her mind all of a sudden, and it couldn't be lingered for a while.

She put down her paintbrush and went to the kitchen to make some food. While eating, Yu Jiaman called and asked her to sing K.
