In the early morning of the city, mist swirls between the tall buildings, and sunlight pierces through the thin fog, casting its glow on every street. Bai Huaiyu wakes up early, as today she and Jiang NanJin will attend an important press conference, witnessing the moment that represents their hard work.
Bai Huaiyu gently twirls in front of the mirror, her light blue dress fluttering gracefully like the first breeze of the morning, bringing an unintentional touch of romance. After carefully styling her brown long hair, it falls smoothly over her delicate shoulders, with a few stray strands lightly brushing against her cheek, adding a playful air. In the mirror, Bai Huaiyu's large eyes sparkle with a hint of nervousness, and her cheeks are slightly flushed, resembling a newly bloomed flower—pure and enchanting.
To boost her confidence, she practiced smiling in front of the mirror, sometimes sweetly, sometimes seductively, with each smile seemingly containing boundless emotions. Yet behind those practiced smiles lay a little-known nervousness. She silently reminded herself, "Bai Huaiyu, you can do this. This press conference will surely shine." Despite this, her palms still began to sweat slightly, and the tension made her heart race a bit faster.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm her emotions and then flashed the most natural and charming smile at her reflection. Just then, her phone suddenly buzzed with a message from Jiang NanJin: "Remember, no matter what, I am here supporting you." Upon reading this message, a warm wave surged through Bai Huaiyu's heart, and her eyes slightly reddened. With slightly trembling hands, she replied with a smiling emoji and a thumbs-up gesture.
Standing tall again, Bai Huaiyu's eyes gradually shone with determination. She softly spoke to her reflection in the mirror, "Be brave for your dreams." Afterward, she picked up her handbag, gently turned, and walked out of the room with light steps, ready to embrace this important day. In her silhouette, one could clearly sense an indomitable strength quietly blossoming.
Meanwhile, Jiang NanJin leaned casually against the full-length mirror hanging on the wall of his upscale apartment. One hand was casually tucked into the pocket of his deep blue suit pants while the other lazily adjusted his tie. His well-tailored deep blue suit paired with a light gray shirt struck a balance between casual and elegant, showcasing his unique insight and taste in fashion. The slightly tousled hairstyle seemed to be an extension of his laid-back demeanor, while his violet eyes hinted at a subtle insistence on detail behind his nonchalant expression.
A barely noticeable smile graced his face, a subtle indication of his satisfaction with the image he was about to present. Beneath that satisfaction, however, lay a meticulous demand for perfection. Jiang NanJin silently mused, "This outfit should be sufficient for today's occasion." His brow furrowed slightly, as if evaluating his choice, before he involuntarily relaxed, as if reassuring himself that this was indeed the best option.
Suddenly, he turned towards the window. In that moment, sunlight streamed through, casting a warm glow on his solitary and somewhat aloof exterior. His gaze drifted far away, seemingly pondering something profound—perhaps thoughts about the upcoming event or the intricate relationship between him and Bai Huaiyu.
As he was lost in his thoughts, the vibration of his phone pulled him back to reality. He picked up the phone and saw a message from Bai Huaiyu, a smirk of playful teasing unconsciously forming at the corners of his mouth. He replied, "I hope you won't be late today like usual, Glutinous Rice Dumpling." This slightly provocative remark showcased his sharp tongue while also revealing the unique understanding and relationship they shared.
Afterward, Jiang NanJin casually placed his phone back into the pocket of his suit and adjusted his appearance in front of the mirror, a keen light flickering in his deep-set eyes.
Bai Huaiyu arrived at the agreed venue with the first rays of morning sunlight. The moment she stepped into the venue, an indescribable excitement and nervousness surged within her. Many well-known figures from the comic industry and reporters from major media outlets had already gathered inside. The lights were dazzling, and the atmosphere was lively, with anticipation filling every corner.
Jiang NanJin also arrived shortly after, and his presence immediately drew the attention of many. His unique aura, radiating confidence and composure from within, captivated those around him.
The two met on stage, exchanging smiles filled with encouragement in their eyes. Bai Huaiyu softly said to Jiang NanJin, "Let's do our best together." Jiang NanJin nodded, returning a determined glance as if to say, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
As the host's melodious voice flowed gently, the lights gradually focused on the center of the stage, marking the official start of the press conference. The first to take the stage was a senior executive from the publishing house, a middle-aged man dressed in an exquisite suit. His voice was steady and powerful as he expressed his pride in the release of the new work.
Soon, the screen gradually lit up, showcasing animated clips created by Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin. The delicate lines outlined vivid character images, and the bright colors expressed emotions vividly, with each scene seemingly telling a touching story. After a moment, the entire venue fell into a brief silence, as everyone appeared captivated by these lively images, their emotions rising and falling.
Just as this silence was about to solidify, applause erupted like thunder, shaking the entire venue. In the audience, Bai Huaiyu wore a satisfied smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Although there was still a hint of nervousness in her heart, it was overshadowed by the joy of having her work recognized.
At this moment, Jiang NanJin slowly walked onto the stage with his usual lazy demeanor, his deep blue suit standing out under the stage lights. He wore a casual smile on his face, reflecting both the confidence of having his work recognized and an acknowledgment of Bai Huaiyu's efforts. He cleared his throat lightly, drawing the attention of the entire audience, and then began to introduce the inspiration and story behind the creation of this work in his unique style.
"The birth of this work would not have been possible without a special person—my editor, Bai Huaiyu." Jiang NanJin's voice carried a hint of playfulness as he glanced down at Bai Huaiyu in the audience. "Her earnestness and charm often bring me endless inspiration. Although she frequently gets nervous, her passion and dedication to comics fill me with confidence about this piece."
Hearing Jiang NanJin's introduction, Bai Huaiyu's smile became even brighter, though she couldn't help but feel a bit flushed. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions of gratitude. This recognition was not only an affirmation of her but also a validation of their joint efforts.
Next, the press conference moved into the Q&A session, and the reporters' enthusiasm seemed to ignite. Questions flew toward Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin like a swarm of stars. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Huaiyu's hands trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner tension.
Beside her, Jiang NanJin noticed her unease. He turned his head slightly and gave her an encouraging glance that only she could perceive, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, as if to say, "Relax, you can do it." In that moment, Bai Huaiyu felt her mood calm significantly.
A reporter asked, "Miss Bai, as the main editor of this work, how did you collaborate with Mr. Jiang? Did you encounter any interesting moments during the creative process that you could share with us?" As the question was posed, all eyes in the room turned to her.
Bai Huaiyu cleared her throat gently, adjusted the microphone, and then said with a shy yet earnest smile, "Actually, collaborating with Mr. Jiang is quite an interesting experience. You know, sometimes he acts like a lazy cat, always submitting his work at the last minute. But his creativity and artistic skills are truly impressive. Our collaboration feels like a fun game; I try to get him to submit on time, and he always manages to surprise me at the last moment."
Her response elicited a wave of light laughter, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious. At this moment, Jiang NanJin chimed in with his characteristic relaxed tone, adding, "Yes, Miss Bai always finds a unique way to remind me when my procrastination kicks in. For instance, there was one time she bribed me with an entire box of donuts just to get me to submit early. That kind of creativity and determination is something I can't help but admire."
Their conversation not only showcased the rapport and collaboration between them but also allowed everyone present to feel the fun and challenges behind the creation. Bai Huaiyu's response revealed her serious yet adorable side, proving her optimistic, positive, and easygoing personality. Jiang NanJin, on the other hand, concluded the Q&A session with his lazy yet sharp wit, perfectly wrapping up the discussion.
When a reporter asked about their collaboration, Bai Huaiyu smiled and said, "Working with Teacher Jiang has been a rare experience. We have a strong rapport, which is one of the key reasons for the success of this work."
Jiang NanJin interjected at the right moment, "Miss Bai is indeed an outstanding editor. Her attention to detail and creativity have added a lot of color to this work. Of course, her occasional absent-mindedness has also brought us quite a bit of joy during our collaboration."
After the meeting, the two stood outside the venue, gazing at the brightly lit city under the night sky. Bai Huaiyu couldn't help but exclaim, "We really did it." Jiang NanJin turned to look at her and smiled, "Yes, it's all thanks to you." Bai Huaiyu shook her head, "We are a team; the success belongs to all of us."
The two walked slowly in the night, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. They talked about their future plans and reminisced about the hardships and joys they had experienced along the way.
As the night grew late, they reluctantly said their goodbyes. Bai Huaiyu returned home, gently sitting by the edge of the bed, reflecting on everything that had happened today, a tender smile unconsciously spreading across his face.
