The morning sunlight pierced through the bustling city, where traffic flowed like a river and crowds hurried along the streets, with skyscrapers shimmering in the dawn light. Bai Huaiyu walked lightly through this modern city, her heartbeat quickening with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Today, she would step into the place she had always dreamed of—a renowned comic publishing house.
As she entered the lobby of the publishing house, Bai Huaiyu's gaze was immediately drawn to the vibrant surroundings. The walls were adorned with a variety of comic book covers, ranging from classic legends to modern fantasies, each piece resembling a finely crafted work of art. Her eyes lingered on these illustrations, as if each one was a window into a marvelous world of stories.
At the reception, Bai Huaiyu shyly announced her name. Her voice trembled slightly, revealing both anticipation and nervousness. Soon after, a friendly receptionist guided her through the bustling corridor to a bright and spacious office. This would be the new starting point for her career as a comic editor.
Inside the office, shelves were lined with an array of comic books, showcasing styles from classical to modern. Bai Huaiyu couldn't help but gently touch the spines of the books, feeling the warmth of the paper and the scent of the ink. A pure smile appeared on her face, as if she could read countless stories from these comics.
Her new colleagues were a group of enthusiastic and creative young people. They seemed both friendly and curious about Bai Huaiyu's arrival. A colleague named Lin Ze walked over, smiling as he said to her, "Welcome aboard, Bai Huaiyu! We are all looking forward to working with you."
Bai Huaiyu tried to return a confident smile, but the corners of her mouth trembled involuntarily, revealing her nervousness. "Th-thank you, I'm also very happy to be here," she replied softly, with a hint of shyness in her voice.
Not far away, an experienced senior editor noticed her nervousness and walked over with a smile, gently saying, "Don't worry, Bai Huaiyu, we all start as beginners. You'll gradually get used to it, and soon you'll find your rhythm here."
Bai Huaiyu nodded, her eyes shining with gratitude. She took a deep breath, trying to relax, and encouraged herself inwardly: "This will be the place where my dreams take flight; I will face the challenges bravely!" Her mood gradually stabilized, and she began to feel excited about the career that was about to unfold.
During lunch, her colleagues began discussing a comic artist named Jiang NanJin. It was said that this artist was not only exceptionally talented but also had a mysterious personality, often delaying the submission of his work, yet consistently creating stunning pieces at the last moment. Bai Huaiyu listened to these stories about Jiang NanJin, feeling both curious and fascinated.
"He once stayed awake for three consecutive nights just to finish a piece before the deadline. As a result, that work became an instant hit as soon as it was released," one colleague exclaimed in amazement.
Another colleague added, "Jiang NanJin's works have a unique style, each filled with profound emotions and meticulously crafted plots that captivate readers."
Listening to these descriptions, Bai Huaiyu felt a surge of admiration for the comic artist. She began to imagine how exciting it would be to collaborate with Jiang NanJin one day. However, thinking about being just a novice, she couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
In the afternoon, Bai Huaiyu immersed herself in proofreading and editing the comics. She carefully read each page, making subtle adjustments to the dialogue and images. She hoped to make these comics even more perfect while also learning and growing in the process.
As she focused on her work, her expression was professional and serious, occasionally breaking into a charmingly confused smile. Her colleagues, seeing her like this, couldn't help but feel that this new editor was both talented and interesting.
As the workday came to an end, the sky had darkened. Bai Huaiyu packed her belongings and left the office with a sense of satisfaction. On her way home, her thoughts drifted to Jiang NanJin. She fantasized about the day when she could collaborate with this talented manga artist to create remarkable works together.
Her heart was filled with a passion for manga and anticipation for her future career. Bai Huaiyu understood that her professional journey was just beginning, and the road ahead was filled with both challenges and opportunities. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would find her place in this captivating world of manga.
Bai Huaiyu returned home and gently placed her work bag aside. She stood by the window, gazing at the twinkling lights in the night sky, filled with anticipation and dreams for tomorrow.
As night fell, Bai Huaiyu's home was filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The lighting in the house was soft, and she changed into comfortable loungewear, ready to enter her favorite relaxation time.
When Bai Huaiyu walked into her living room, her eyes were immediately drawn to the bookshelf filled with anime collectibles. She gently approached it, gazing lovingly at each comic and every animated DVD. These were treasures she had carefully selected, each one carrying her passion and dedication to this vibrant world of anime. She reached for a DVD of a recently favored anime, her heart filled with anticipation and excitement.
She arranged some of her favorite snacks on the sofa, along with a glass of freshly shaken juice. Bai Huaiyu settled down gently, curling her feet beneath her as she comfortably leaned back on the sofa, ready to embark on her journey into the anime world. As the animated characters on the television screen came to life, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and an involuntary smile of delight appeared on her face.
In this fantastical world, she can temporarily set aside the pressures and anxieties of real life. She follows the rhythm of the story, completely immersing herself in the joys and sorrows of the characters. Every scene and every character in the animation seems to speak to her, telling one captivating story after another, bringing her endless inspiration and courage.
As Bai Huaiyu watches the animation on the screen with full concentration, she is not only deeply captivated by the story but also begins to unconsciously mimic the actions and tones of the characters. In a particularly exciting scene, the protagonist vigorously waves his arms, showcasing his determination and bravery. Bai Huaiyu excitedly waves her arms along with him, as if she herself were that brave hero.
Her movements are exaggerated and full of energy, at times displaying the demeanor of a hero with her gestures, and at other times speaking softly with a touch of tenderness, imitating romantic scenes from animations. When imitating a character's passionate confession, she even uses a pillow as her subject, gently saying, "Under this starry sky, I made an eternal vow."
Her expressions are rich, with her eyes flashing with innocence and longing. Whenever a character shows strength or bravery, admiration and excitement shine in her eyes. When the story turns heartwarming and touching, tears well up involuntarily in the corners of her eyes.
In such moments, Bai Huaiyu was completely immersed in her two-dimensional world, as if she had become a part of those captivating stories. Her adorable and slightly clumsy demeanor made it impossible not to smile. Her world was filled with optimism and dreams, even in the face of small mishaps while imitating characters, like when she overdid it and slipped off the sofa.
Suddenly, her arm accidentally knocked over a glass of juice, but she just giggled and didn't seem worried. She deftly cleaned up the spilled liquid and dove back into the world of anime, completely undisturbed. This is how Bai Huaiyu always managed to find joy amidst little chaos; her world was full of endless fun and fantasy.
As she watched a touching storyline, her eyes couldn't help but become moist. The protagonist in the story continually grew amidst difficulties, ultimately overcoming numerous obstacles, which reminded her of herself. Bai Huaiyu took a deep breath, silently resolving that no matter how many challenges her future work might bring, she would be as strong as the characters in the anime.
Unconsciously, she picked up a snack and took a gentle bite; it was sweet and delightful. This simple pleasure brought her a sense of fulfillment. In this small world, she found her own peace and happiness.
After finishing an episode, Bai Huaiyu stretched and felt incredibly relaxed. She looked around her home, filled with anime elements, where every item carried her passion for this hobby.
Finally, she turned off the television, stood up, and prepared to go to bed. Before turning off the lights, she took one last glance at the bookshelf filled with comics, her heart filled with gratitude. These stories had given her strength and inspired her dreams.
Lying in bed, Bai Huaiyu felt calm and content. She closed her eyes, and memories of her experiences at the publishing house today, along with the legends about Jiang NanJin, floated through her mind. She smiled, secretly hoping that one day she could create a wonderful story of her own, just like the heroes she admired.
On the edge of sleep, Bai Huaiyu's heart quietly drifted into a world filled with fantasy and adventure. There, she could soar freely, pursuing her dreams and hopes. That night, her dreams were vibrant and joyful, just like the anime stories she loved.
