Summer in Shangcheng

Chapter 29
The gourmet street is full of mermaids and people.

Old Wang's Grill was full of seats, and Mei Zhixia had already arrived. She knew that Old Wang's Grill was very busy, and there would be no seats if she came late, so she came early to reserve a seat if she had nothing to do.

After seven o'clock, Yu Jiaman arrived and brought Chen Cheng along.

"Chen Cheng, I won't introduce you once you've met." Yu Jiaman said to Zhixia.

Zhixia smiled and greeted Chen Cheng, "Hello."

"Hello."

The two were very polite, Chen Cheng also looked very reserved, Yu Jiaman greeted the waiter, grilled a bunch of skewers as usual, and ordered a dozen beers.

The shaking head wall fan in the room was ringing loudly, but shaking it vigorously did not have much effect at all. Most of the people who ate barbecue and drank beer were sweating profusely, and the men took off their clothes and shirtless.

Yu Jiaman started to open a bottle of cold beer and put it in front of Mei Zhixia, and said with a playful smile, "Zhixia, you must have a drink. Today is a celebration for you, so please feel free."

Zhixia: "OK."

The amount of alcohol is not enough, but the meaning is okay.

As soon as the skewers were served, the three of them ate and drank.

Chen Cheng toasted Mei Zhixia and said, "We will be colleagues from now on, please take care of me." Mei Zhixia raised his glass and touched him: "Thank you."

The two drank the wine, and Yu Jiaman applauded excitedly and looked at them and said, "That's great! Zhixia, are you happy that we can finally work together?"

Zhixia: "Of course."

……

A meal is eaten from seven o'clock to ten o'clock, and the wine and food are full, and the show is over.

Chen Cheng and Yu Jiaman stopped by, and they took a taxi together. Mei Zhixia was not far from her residence, so she walked slowly and alone.

I didn't drink much wine, but it was a bit high.

There are not many vehicles coming and going in the old city at this time, the streets are a bit deserted, the light of the street lamps is shining faintly, quiet and cold.

Mei Zhixia walked very slowly, her heart was very calm, and Mu Yicheng's faint smile was always flashing in her mind. She laughed a little self-deprecatingly, took a deep breath, and quickened her pace.

As soon as he got home, the cell phone in his pocket rang. When he took it out, he saw that it was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

She picked it up and said 'Hello', the receiver went blank for two seconds, and then a familiar faint male voice came out, "Miss Mei, your painting is here with me."

It took Mei Zhixia a while to realize that it was Mu Yicheng's voice.

"I'll take it when I have time."

"it is good."

The two fell silent, and the phone did not hang up.

After a while, Mei Zhixia said, "It's getting late, I'm going to rest."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

……

After hanging up the phone, Mei Zhixia lay down on the sofa, her head hurt a little, but her heart was inexplicably agitated.

She looked at the string of unfamiliar numbers on the call log, and saved the number in the contacts, with a question mark in the name.Subconsciously, she felt that Mu Yicheng was like an unknown mystery.

Lying on the sofa for a while, fell asleep unknowingly, woke up in the morning of the next day, the sky finally cleared up, the thin thin sun came in through the window, leaving a golden light and shadow on the floor.

Mei Zhixia got up, went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, and then took a shower.She spent several hours preparing her resume, and then contacted the editors of several animation magazines. The comics that were originally intended for Huaer Magazine could not be put on hold forever. Since it is a final draft, the copyright must be sold if it can be sold. .

It's a pity that several editors dismissed her with excuses such as 'busy' and 'let's talk later'.
