Honey Passion Fruit

Chapter 41 Chapter 61

Hu Xiao's new comics were signed to a comics app. Since Hu Xiao's fame has risen sharply in recent years, this company has assigned him a female editor with many years of experience to pay attention.Rich experience is a good thing. With her help, Hu Xiao quickly became familiar with this app and learned some tips for increasing fans.But it was also because the editor had a high rank, and in the process of communicating with Hu Xiao, he always used command-style sentences, which made Hu Xiao feel a little uncomfortable. It felt like he had found a boss for himself. Every time he communicated, he would say "OK, Change it now", "Okay, hand it in now" and so on.But Hu Xiao thinks that everyone communicates differently, so he can't lose his temper with the other party just because of this. After all, it's all communication at work, and neither party has done anything wrong.

It's just that on this day, Hu Xiao's new manuscript was stuck and handed in, and the editor called after a while.

Hu Xiao's procrastination is hard to get rid of. For this time, he stayed up all night and got up early in the morning. He didn't sleep well, didn't eat well, and consumed so many brain cells. He was hungry and sleepy. When he was agitated, the editor's rhetorical question on the phone woke Hu Xiaohou up.

"Can users understand the plot so fast? The details, the details!"

"Did you forget what I taught you before?"

"After handing in this manuscript, how many views do you think your next issue will have? Have you thought about it?"

"Tell me what you think? Don't waste your time, my time, and readers' time by posting this edition!"

……

At the beginning, Hu Xiao still managed to answer the questions raised by the editor, but every time he finished answering one question, the other party would ask the next question urgently, and in the end he went around and stopped at the same question. It was only when Hu Xiao came back to his senses that the editor didn't want to hear his explanation, but wanted to hear him say: "How do you think it should be changed?"

After getting a satisfactory answer, the voice on the other side became calm again. After hearing the other party's thoughts, Hu Xiao frowned, not agreeing.His plan is to arouse readers' curiosity in this chapter with a large plot span, follow the plot clues to reason and trigger everyone's speculation, and then explain the whole story through the protagonist's memories and the perspective of a bystander in the next chapter, making it somewhat bizarre. The direction of the plot gets a reasonable explanation.

This was not a whim on his mind. Hu Xiao had already explained it to the editor in advance when he submitted the manuscript last time, but when he recalled the process of the last communication, he realized that the editor didn't quite agree with his idea at that time.

So today should be deliberately embarrassing him.

The editor talked about the creative concept to the reader's feelings, and finally mentioned the cooperation agreement they signed, which means that Hu Xiao will not give up if she does not revise the manuscript.

Hu Xiao was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't want to argue with the other party anymore, so he had to make changes.But according to the editor's intention, almost all of his painstaking efforts in the past few days were wasted, and he had to draw a new version.The huge workload and the tight schedule made Hu Xiao feel deeply irritable. He was suffocated, and he picked up the paintbrush but didn't know where to start.

"Have you not eaten yet? Let's cook together." Just as He Ting got up, he hugged Hu Xiao from behind and kissed him on the cheek.

Hu Xiao stroked his wrist, not very interested: "There is still room for revision in the manuscript."

"It's okay, I'll do it, you do it first." He Ting patted him on the shoulder nonchalantly.

"Thank you." Hu Xiao turned his head and kissed He Ting's chin.

He Ting, who was kissed by Hu Xiao, was full of motivation to cook a sumptuous brunch, but during the meal, Hu Xiao was always frowning, and even his appetite was not very good, which failed He Ting's achievements.

"What's wrong?" He Ting sat beside him.

"It's nothing." Hu Xiao shook his head subconsciously, but after thinking about it, he still said something to He Ting, "It's just about the manuscript."

He Ting didn't know much about Hu Xiao's work, so he didn't intervene too much, but he watched Hu Xiao sitting at the desk and sighed for half the morning, and at noon he coaxed Hu Xiao to bed for a lunch break to catch up on sleep.

As a result, Hu Xiao had a dream, and in the dream he had another [-] rounds of quarrel with the editor. He was so angry that he wanted to do something, and was awakened by He Ting as he was about to step forward.

When Hu Xiao woke up, he hadn't completely come out of the dream, and still looked at He Ting beside him with an angry expression.He Ting felt helpless and funny, gently rubbed the center of Hu Xiao's brows, and asked him what dream he had.

"The voice was too loud, it woke me up in fright, and just as I was about to see you, I swung my arm over you, almost disfiguring you."

Hu Xiao was so ashamed by He Ting's exaggerated description that he blushed and nestled under the quilt, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was really wronged, so his eyes turned red.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" It's been a long time since I saw Hu Xiao shed tears, once he did this, He Ting became very anxious again.

Hu Xiao sniffed and told the story while holding back tears. The more He Ting listened, the more serious the expression on his face became.

"She can't control your creation like that, it's essentially your work, and I think you're right."

With He Ting's support, Hu Xiao became a little more confident, but then she thought: "But she has been in this business for several years, so she should have more experience than me..."

"In terms of experience, has she worked as long as you have been drawing manga? You have already succeeded, and you are not a novice. Why do you have to make decisions about this kind of thing? I think you need to communicate with her again."

Hu Xiao felt that He Ting was right, but when he heard that he had to communicate with the editor again, he flinched a bit.He is really not good at interpersonal communication or something, and he doesn't like it.

"Then I'll help you communicate with her." He Ting reached out for Hu Xiao's cell phone.

He Ting typed up a large paragraph in an orderly manner and sent it over. It happened that the editor was also online, and the two started communicating with each other.Hu Xiao sat on the sidelines and watched the two of them "chatting friendly", and was also surprised that He Ting completely understood his intention after only listening to his own thoughts, and argued hard on the core issues.

The other party felt that the typing communication was too slow and wanted to communicate on the phone, Hu Xiao was a little nervous, but He Ting directly replied that it was inconvenient for her, so he continued typing to reply.But in the end, the problem was not resolved, and He Ting planned to ask the person in charge at the next level to change the editor.

"Ah? Is this possible?" Hu Xiao felt that it might not be successful.

"It's not that you begged them to sign you. Under the contract, both parties exchange equally. If they make you feel uncomfortable, you should make a reasonable appeal." He Ting kissed him, "It's okay, I'll take care of it for you."

Hu Xiao leaned reassuringly on He Ting's shoulder and stared blankly for a while. When his fugue was over, he found that He Ting had already helped him communicate. Not only did he change to an editor, but the review of this version of the manuscript also passed the review, and there was nothing to be revised. place, you can send it directly when the time comes.

"He Ting, you are amazing!" Hu Xiao's mood finally turned from cloudy to overcast, he hugged He Ting's neck excitedly, saying that now he can eat three more bowls of rice.

He Ting put the phone aside and hugged Hu Xiao, and the two kissed for a long time.

After the kiss was over, Hu Xiao leaned on He Ting's chest to calm his breath.

"You always help me with a lot of problems, I don't know what I would do without you."

He Ting's response was to hug Hu Xiao tightly.

"I'm 35 years old, but I always ask you to help me, which has caused you a lot of trouble."

"What's wrong with 35, besides, you didn't cause me any trouble."

"I'm already old enough to resist things. I don't want to be your burden."

"You are not my burden." He Ting looked into Hu Xiao's eyes.

"We paid off the mortgage together, bought a new car, and you helped a lot in the studio, so why don't you 'resist things'?"

He Ting imitated Hu Xiao's tone to make him happy.

"I just helped you in the field I am good at, and I did a little more. You do the same on weekdays. We are doing things reasonably and efficiently."

"Really?" Hu Xiao pursed her lips, still not very confident.

"Of course it is." He Ting's tone was very certain.

"Besides..." He Ting paused and hugged Hu Xiao even tighter, "If this family doesn't have you, if I don't have you, I don't know how to live. You are neither a burden nor a trouble, you are me Forward momentum."

Hu Xiao felt warm in his heart. They have been together for so many years, although the passion is no longer there, but they are more and more inseparable from each other, as if they are integrated, and it is difficult to separate.

Hu Xiao felt a weight on his legs, looked down, and then smiled.

Yes, a family of three, can't forget Mimi.
