He Yunzhou once thought that he would go through a very difficult time.
Shu Ran and Liang Mengmeng have been going around for so many years, finally the dust has settled and they are married.
As for He Yunzhou's secret love for Shu Ran for so many years, it finally came to the moment when he had to take back his heart no matter what, and he could never see the light again.
Others say that he is frustrated in love and proud in the workplace, but He Yunzhou is both at a low ebb.
His cooperation with the illustrations of "Magic Cat" was completely in vain—the news still came from Xiaoxi.
It turned out that although Xiaoxi lost her temper with He Yunzhou mercilessly, she still turned her head and rolled up her sleeves to find the bald and fat editor-in-chief of the publishing house. Then, the result she got was exactly the same as what Editor Ding said.
It's nothing more than the fact that He Yunzhou's reputation is not as good as that Internet celebrity beauty illustrator or something...
And the wedding of the sister who was not close at all was also held during this period. He Yunzhou paid the other party a sum of money, but he still didn't go home to meet the so-called "family".
…
But even He Yunzhou himself was a little surprised that after going through all this, he didn't feel the sadness and melancholy that he thought he would have at all...
On the contrary, He Yunzhou found that he was so busy that he didn't even have time to be sad.
First of all, of course, it was because of Huo Zheng—since he got the "go praise him" Dafa from Shu Ran, He Yunzhou would use it on Huo Zheng from time to time in order to maintain the latter's full mental state.
Although, as a person who is not good at words, He Yunzhou's brain is almost exhausted just thinking about those rainbow farts every day, but the Dafa of "go praise him" has worked on Huo Zheng, and the effect is really good. No matter how difficult it is, He Yunzhou can't help but use it again and again.
Fortunately, Huo Zheng didn't dislike He Yunzhou's dry and extremely gross (in He Yunzhou's view) compliments.
The only thing that He Yunzhou needs to worry about is not to accidentally exaggerate too much. The counterexample is that a few days ago, He Yunzhou couldn't help but say a few more words. He took off his shirt in the living room, and forcibly held He Yunzhou's hand, letting him feel the full and firm muscles carefully.
At that moment, He Yunzhou seemed to have returned to the nightmare of getting a fitness card with a brain disabled and being entangled by enthusiastic personal trainers in the gym.
At that time, the personal trainer who was shiny all over his body and exuded the smell of sweat also kept pulling He Yunzhou, asking him to "feel" the charm of his muscles.
Of course, compared to the private teacher, Huo Zheng is ten thousand times more beautiful both in appearance and smell. And his well-trained chest muscles really feel good to the touch.
But no matter what, He Yunzhou still didn't want to reach out and touch another man's chest muscles in his living room. Especially, the moment he touched it, he accidentally poked Huo Zheng's chest muscles.
Huo Zheng was also obviously frightened by that blow, and jumped away blushing, making He Yunzhou extremely embarrassed.
Fortunately, when the atmosphere was the most tense, Pumpkin suddenly squatted between him and Huo Zheng and vomited out with a "wow", which finally resolved the awkward and suffocating atmosphere.
It's just that Huo Zheng was still angry that day, and after two or three days, he got into an awkward fight with He Yunzhou again.
And because of the awkwardness this time, He Yunzhou had a whim, retouched the kitten based on Huo Zheng, and then drew it into a manga.
This move of his soon made himself even busier.
He Yunzhou didn't think too much when he was drawing the manga, most of the content of the drawing was the daily life of raising cats.
Gua Ji, who was already far away on the planet Meow, naturally appeared on the stage, and pumpkin also played a main supporting role.
As for the protagonist "Huo Xiaomiao", under He Yunzhou's brush, he lived a free, sand-sculpted and relaxed life.
Huo Xiaomiao likes to be awkward.
Huo Xiaomiao likes to ask for kisses and hugs, but it doesn't like to talk.
Huo Xiaomiao fought with Pumpkin, but failed to win.
Huo Xiaomiao went to exercise on purpose, and then fought with the pumpkin, but he still couldn't win.
Huo Xiaomiao loves beauty, and will be very proud when being praised.
Occasionally, some of Huo Zheng's behaviors were directly catified by He Yunzhou and then drawn into the comics. It has to be said that the behavior that would appear awkward and strange on humans, once it falls on cats, it will have a different kind of cuteness.
The most fundamental evidence is that after He Yunzhou drew Huo Xiaomiao, he showed Huo Zheng a little embarrassment in the manga and image.
He was still worried that Huo Zheng would be unhappy because of meowing, but after reading the manga, Huo Zheng actually blushed.
"So I'm in your heart..."
"What?"
"I mean, you drew it cute."
Huo Zheng avoided He Yunzhou's eyes and muttered very softly.
Seeing that Huo Zheng thought Huo Xiaomiao was cute, He Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
…
After Huo Xiaomiao made a few cartoons, a thought flashed across his mind, and He Yunzhou conveniently posted these somewhat scribbled cartoons on the Internet.
It's just that when posting the picture, He Yunzhou took a look at his original Weibo, and found that the comic style of "Huo Xiaomiao" really didn't match his previous meticulous and realistic style.
He Yunzhou thought about it, and instead of using his usual Yuechuan Weibo account, he changed to a smaller Weibo account and posted those few posts.
When naming the trumpet, He Yunzhou's mind went blank, he subconsciously typed "Huo Xiaomiao's breeder", and then pressed OK.
Well…
"Huo Xiaomiao..."
He Yunzhou was taken aback when he saw the three characters on his ID, and Huo Zheng's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
A puff of heat came out suddenly, and He Yunzhou didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable.
Is it because... the two roles of Huo Xiaomiao and the breeder can be perfectly brought into Huo Zheng and himself
If you think about it this way, even that ID seems to have a subtle, indescribably awkward feeling.
In fact, you can change your name, of course, but He Yunzhou didn't pay much attention to the manga he sent out, and this trumpet that he registered so easily, he shook his head after all and didn't bother.
Probably because that ID made people feel a little uncomfortable, He Yunzhou didn't pay attention to that trumpet after posting the manga.
After waiting for a long time, He Yunzhou accidentally logged into Weibo, and was swiped by various messages that kept popping up—
It was at this time that He Yunzhou was shocked and discovered something.
The few comic strips of Huo Xiaomiao that he drew casually became popular without knowing what kind of lottery he won.
And it's very, very, very red.
I don't know who accidentally saw Huo Xiaomiao's manga in the first place, and I don't know which celebrity reposted it smoothly, ushering in a viral wave of the whole network.
[Ah, I'm so cute...]
[Huo Xiaomiao, mother announces that you are my son!]
[Damn, why do I have to look at the daily life of a few cats and make my aunt smile?]
…
He Yunzhou traced back to the source, and finally found the first person who brought a popular retweet.
After glancing at the certification, he couldn't help being stunned.
That person's certification reads - director of the Huo Group.
And that person's ID is "Huo Zheng".
As for the content he forwarded, it was also very simple and rude.
["Wow, this kitten is too cute!"]
He Yunzhou: "..."
He almost dropped the mouse.
In fact, Huo Zheng on the Internet is a low-key person who rarely speaks, but he can't stand his good looks. He has already attracted countless fans in Huo's previous press conferences.
It's just that his speech on Weibo is basically equivalent to the official advertising slogan, and he hardly sees any personal characteristics. Now he suddenly reposted a cute pet article, which instantly attracted countless attention.
And then... and then He Yunzhou was so inexplicably angered by Huo Zheng's "too cute".
In fact, He Yunzhou used his pen name "Moon Boat" to release a lot of serious drawing exercises on Weibo, but there were very few respondents, so he didn't pay much attention to running his own social media.
However, as soon as "Huo Xiaomiao" came out, he realized what it was like to be treated as a popular painter.
The number of retweets and comments, as well as the number of his followers are all increasing exponentially. Those numbers that are constantly beating almost every moment even scare He Yunzhou, who is used to being transparent. If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the comments was so dazzled by Huo Xiaomiao and turned crazy to ask for updates, He Yunzhou even thought about abandoning the pit and not painting in order to be clean.
but…
Seeing so many strangers gathering at one end of the network, praising and praising the triumphant kittens, He Yunzhou felt an unexplainable warm current in his heart.
It's as if Guaji, who has left this world, and Huo Xiaomiao, who doesn't exist in reality, are living happily in another dimension in his writing.
In such a sad and gentle mood, the theme strip of "Huo Xiaomiao" drawn by He Yunzhou continued to be updated.
Of course, the unexpected popularity on the Internet did not affect He Yunzhou's enthusiasm for cooking every day.
He didn't know if it was because the rainbow fart he racked his brains out really worked or something else, anyway, Huo Zheng was awkward, but the habit of coming to He Yunzhou to check in every night for dinner had already settled down.
And He Yunzhou didn't know if it was his own illusion, anyway, after starting to exercise like crazy, Huo Zheng looked much more handsome and refined than before. Of course, even at this time, Huo Zheng still insisted that he never specially exercised, but just went to the gym to relax his muscles and bones. But He Yunzhou had his own calculations, and when drawing up the recipes, he would deliberately avoid those high-oil and high-fat foods, and he also reduced the refined white starch ingredients to a minimum.
After some practice, He Yunzhou was very happy to find that Huo Zheng could eat deliciously.
And just seeing his contented appearance, He Yunzhou couldn't help feeling relaxed and smiling...
Probably because everything has been calm and comfortable recently, when He Yunzhou received Xiaoxi's call, he was completely unprepared.
Xiaoxi: "Wo Cao—have you seen the pictures of those garbage?!"
He Yunzhou frowned, and the shadow slipped through his heart.
The only thing that can make Xiaoxi so angry is...
"I'll send you the link, don't get excited just watch it first, I won't finish this matter with them! This is so fucking bullying..."
He Yunzhou heard Xiaoxi's series of swear words in his ears, held the mouse in his hand, and clicked on the link sent by Xiaoxi.
That's exactly the setting map of "God Cat" released by the well-known beauty artist Jing Wang Luohua.
He Yunzhou was stunned.
"These pictures..."
he murmured softly.
The pictures that caught his eyes suddenly looked at Luo Hua's own aesthetic style.
However, as the original creator who worked so hard to crazily drive out the character design, He Yunzhou could tell at a glance that that person actually took his character design and changed it casually, added a few filters, and pasted the background. It was released directly in her name.
What made He Yunzhou even more glaring was not the "plagiarism of plastic surgery grafting" like Jingwang Luohua, but the remarks made by the official publishing house.
The publishing house in charge of publishing "God Cat" directly reposted Jingkan Luohua's Weibo post, and then expressed their admiration and praise. He Yunzhou swiped his finger, and subconsciously opened those pictures. The "pollen" under the pictures belonged to the "pollen" who watched the flowers quietly and piled up all kinds of compliments in the comment area as if they didn't need money.
…
"Didn't they see my picture?"
He Yunzhou said in a low voice.
"Damn it, of course they've seen it, if they don't see it, how can they get your line art and send it to that liar?! They were cheating the draft in the first place!"
Xiaoxi had already scolded a round before, but now when he heard He Yunzhou's unconscious whisper, he instantly became angry and scolded again.
Even with He Yunzhou's character of avoiding outsiders and being patient if he can, seeing the operation of "Magic Cat" Publishing House, he was completely disgusted.
By now, everything has become very clear.
The story line of "God Cat" is complicated and there are many characters, and each person has their own personality and ability settings, such as Jing Kan Luohua, a painter who can't draw without brushes and filters, even if he gets "God Cat" The illustration work for "Cats" could not be completed either.
That is to say, a veteran painter like He Yunzhou who has solid basic skills and has provided pictures for classic novels is able to give realistic setting pictures.
That's why the publishing house urged He Yunzhou so frantically during the initial draft trial stage, in order to let Jing Wang Luohua copy He Yunzhou's settings as soon as possible.
"They just saw that you don't have many fans, and you can't confront that bitch head-on. That's why they're so confident. I'm so pissed off, I'm so pissed off..."
Neither He Yunzhou nor Xiaoxi are considered newcomers, and the publisher's careful thinking only needs a little calculation to figure it out.
The most disgusting thing is that the other party is confident and shameless, and if there is no accident, He Yunzhou actually has nothing to do with them.
After all, He Yunzhou and Jing Wang Luohua produced pictures at the same time, and when it comes to the number of fans and popularity, it is impossible for "Moon Boat" to compete with each other.
He Yunzhou was clear about this matter, and so was Xiao Xi.
After some swearing, He Yunzhou heard Xiaoxi on the other end of the phone, so angry that his voice was crying, but even so, Xiaoxi held back his emotions after being furious, and persuaded:
"Brother Chuan... don't argue with that person, don't hang on to her, I'll go to the publishing house to ask for an explanation... If you confront Jing Wang Luohua now, she might mobilize fans to violently attack you online..."
It's not the first time something like this has happened.
Jing Wang Luohua is the so-called number one beauty artist, and most of her fans are fans of her. It can be said that she doesn't care about the stains on this kind of painting skills. There was an online scolding war with her because of similar things before. In He Yunzhou's memory, he was still a very famous painter, but in the end he was forced by the fans of Jing Wang Luo Hua to have to follow Jing Kan. Luo Hua apologized.
With such an exceptionally tough case ahead, Xiaoxi's concerns are not unreasonable.
He Yunzhou heard Xiaoxi's worry, and he sighed softly.
The anger that boiled in the bottom of my heart when I was caught off guard by the news before calmed down at this moment.
"I know, I'm fine." He said to Xiaoxi, "...Let's see what the other side has to say first. If it really doesn't work, I will try to solve this problem."
The author has something to say: He Yunzhou: Ah, so cute.
(Staring at the Huo Xiaomiao I drew, intoxicated)
Then he looked back at the humanoid Huo Zheng.
He Yunzhou: ... Sigh.
