never met lover

The author has something to say: I thought I would write it... but it didn't (laughing dryly), so let's make an appointment with Big Eyed Boy in the next chapter (probably) something will happen in a few days, so I will update it in advance in these two days

August's serenade, the air is filled with the aroma of coffee and bread, Lu Yining is sitting in a corner, sketching in his notebook, the 58 yuan cup of hand-brewed coffee has gone cold, he hasn't taken a sip yet, and he doesn't plan to drink it .This is a coffee shop that he found out after a night of work on the Internet. It has not been long since it opened. In the small alleys of the old city, the shop is not big and there are not many people. There will be no crowds like Internet celebrity coffee shops. The person next to him spoke agitatedly, and even sprayed spittle on him.

This is already the eighth day he has come to the cafe for training, and the day after tomorrow he will go to a landmark bookstore in the west of the city that has been very popular in recent years to start the first stop of his first autograph tour in his life. Can't help but get cold feet.

No sooner had the barista been outlined than a message popped up.

- Big Devil: Is the teacher there?

-LIB: on.

- Big Devil: I will start maternity leave next month. I was planning to wait until your autograph session is over, but I don’t know if it’s because of my first child. The fetal sign was a bit unstable when I went to check yesterday.I plan to let Kobayashi take over the follow-up work of the signing event, do you think it is possible?Xiao Lin was brought out by me. This year, I was in charge of the work of Mr. Cha Cha Le. I also roughly told him about your situation.

-lib: ok.

The Great Demon King accompanied him all the way here. The two of them are about the same age. From college to the age of three, both of them are considered successful in their careers. He has become a well-known cartoonist. The Great Demon King Also mixed into a gold medal editor.

-LIB: When is the baby's due date?I will send you gifts.

- Big Devil: October 10th, but maybe twins are prone to premature birth.

Lu Yining raised his eyebrows. This person fell in love with a designer at first sight last year, and they got married in three months. Not only did he have a child at the flick of a finger, but he also had two, tsk, shit luck.

- Great Demon King: Asmadi's manuscript, the part of the Star Contract?

-LIB: [wrapped on the body of the big white goose.jpg]

- Big Devil: I pushed your Fetion to Kobayashi, remember to pass it.

- Big Demon King: And the cooperation with Teacher Crooked Wall, how do you think about it?

He is very interested in the subject matter and outline, but cooperating with others means that he loses part of his control over the work, and he always has some things to do deliberately when creating, such as the number of storyboards, which must be three The completion of each unit must also be a multiple of three... When he completely creates a work by himself, he can adjust this part of the work with ease, although sometimes the workload will increase due to this problem, Let him be in a state of anxiety... But if others cooperate, it will be difficult to guarantee this matter.

So after struggling and hesitating for so many days, Lu Yining decided to give up.

-LIB: No, but please tell Mr. Crooked Wall that the work is great, but I am not suitable for this type of story creation.

- Big Devil: All right.

- Big Devil: But you also work hard yourself, trying to start the next work when the popularity of "Cicada" is just right. After all, "Hilling Cicada" has been over for more than five years, you know?

-LIB: I know, [big white goose sighs.jpg]

It's been five years, and there have been no works for five years.Lu Yining resisted the desire to lie down on the table, and sighed heavily. After the end of "Cicada", he didn't know what to draw for a while. It seemed that there were many things he wanted to draw, but he couldn't finish them sitting in front of the computer. When I write, there is no story in my mind, and there are no characters. Strange pictures appear and disappear. I just felt inspired. When I think about it carefully, it ran away again, like a fish that I couldn’t catch... I still have Traces of its existence, it was wet with the smell of sea water, but there was nothing in the open hand.

There are no serialized works, but a lot of commercial manuscripts have been connected one after another, because at that time his cleanliness got out of control, and he wanted to build a sterile bubble house for himself. The decoration of the house was like a bottomless pit, and he ate a lot A lot of money.It was also at that time that there were some articles and comments on the Internet, saying that his debut was over, his first work was too hard, and he might not draw any good works in the future. Some people agreed, some refuted, some regretted, some Onlookers.

The figure of "Cicada" can be seen in the streets and alleys, and the billboards in the subway are scrolled with the portraits of the main characters, high-spirited and glamorous, but Lu Yining fell into the trough of life at that time, he washed his hands every day until his hands peeled off , brushing his teeth until his gums bleed, every breath is like being tortured, his balcony is full of washed clothes, and after finally being dried, they are thrown back into the washing machine, and the room is always filled with disinfectant and detergent The smell is not like a place where people live.

Lu Yining felt that he was trapped in an iron cage, and he couldn't find a way out. He didn't go out, but kept hiding at home, repeating the same movement day after day, as if it was a reminder that the devil could not be seen in his body. String puppets.

Until the big devil rushed to his house because he couldn't be contacted, and ignored his resistance and struggle, he directly directed his own Alpha to pack him into the car and send him to the hospital.

Lu Yining's normal life has been squeezed to the point that he hasn't eaten properly for a long time, resulting in his body being extremely weak, and he doesn't even have the strength to escape.The Great Demon King was quite considerate, and arranged for him a separate ward, where he received nutritional injections and resumed his diet on time every day.

"For a new cooperation, they appointed you to draw." The Great Demon King took out a stack of documents from his huge tote bag and put them on the reader in front of Lu Yining, "Don't worry, the other party has no plans." You can read it slowly when you are discharged from the hospital." The petite Beta looked at the gauze wrapped in Lu Yining's hand with a straight face, which was soaked with light brown liquid medicine, and then changed her voice. , "What's the matter? You were not in such a serious situation before."

"I don't know." Because of his bad record of removing the bandages before, his hands were tied on both sides, he said lazily, "Can you help me untie the bandages, I will definitely not remove them."

"Be patient, the nurse will come to change your dressing in an hour." The big devil said, "Do you want to turn the page?"

Lu Yining gave a "hmm" and stopped struggling. He focused on the document in front of him. It is an Internet company that has just started, and it is a dating app, but it is different from other apps on the market. This is a dating software that focuses on the sense of distance. It does not advocate meeting or offline relationship development. Everything is online, making friends in the cloud, and the name is very straightforward. It is called Distance.

"Done, next page."

The Great Demon King reached out to help him turn the page, "Yu Yan and I downloaded this software to play with it last night. It was quite interesting. Would you like to download it and try it?"

"Me?" Lu Yining has always been insensitive to this kind of things, "No."

"Try it. Anyway, it's online dating. You can chat when you have time, and you can also adjust your life. You can't do without communicating with people all day long." They are people who want to be away from others. You don't have to worry about whether that person's saliva will spray on you, and you don't have to go to those cafes, movie theaters and other places that you think are full of germs, no Is it good?"

"Why do you use dating software when you don't want to get in touch with people?" Lu Yining asked puzzled, "Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

"It's not that some people don't want to make contact, it's because they can't do it or they're not good at it, but it doesn't mean they don't want to interact and communicate with others." The devil pulled down his mask a little, and continued after taking a breath, "Aren't you too? Didn’t you also say that you like interacting with readers when you serialized comics? This proves that you also have the need to interact with others.”

"Oh." Lu Yining hadn't thought about this question carefully before, he thought for a while, and agreed, "It seems so, then you can download it for me." He yawned and looked up at the There are still more than half of the bottle, "How many days do I have to live?"

"Stay here first, at least until the injury on your hand heals." The big devil took his mobile phone and scanned his face, "Anyway, it's Yu Yan's hospital, you can ask her for reimbursement, by the way , I asked Yu Yan to help you find a psychiatrist in this area, and you can go see it after you're done?"

Lu Yining answered absently.

"I'll download it for you, and you can register yourself after changing your medicine." The big devil said and stood up, "If you feel sleepy, sleep for a while, I'll go back to the company first."

"Okay." Lu Yining smiled at her, "Thanks, be careful when driving on the road."

Distance...

Lu Yining closed his eyes, and felt that feeling for a long time, the feeling when he started to serialize the chilling cicada, he didn't need to think about it, it seemed that the painting had been in his mind for a long time, but he was found at this time.

Every star in the universe has its own position, they don’t need to be close to each other, they just stand in their own position, no matter how far they are, they will affect each other, whether deep or shallow... Maybe some people are like stars, they don’t need to be close , only turning in its own orbit, keeping a distance, and then will find a certain star.

can you?

Lu Yining opened his eyes, looking at the ceiling in a little confusion.

Maybe.

Thinking of this, he tilted his head to look at the mobile phone on the bedside, and suddenly couldn't wait to change his dressing.
