The comic release event concluded successfully, and Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin stood at the entrance of the venue, receiving blessings and applause from all directions. This was the result of their joint efforts and the place where their dreams began.
Bai Huaiyu looked at Jiang NanJin with pride in her eyes. "Look, NanJin, we did it," she said, her voice slightly emotional as she tightly held Jiang NanJin's hand. In that moment, it seemed that all their anxieties and worries had vanished.
Jiang NanJin looked at her, a smug smile playing on his lips. "Of course, with our dreams, how could we possibly fail?" His tone carried his usual confidence and ease, but his eyes revealed a deep reliance on and gratitude for Bai Huaiyu.
After the meeting, they, accompanied by friends and colleagues, headed to an exquisite restaurant to celebrate. This restaurant was renowned for its elegant ambiance and delicious dishes, making it the perfect choice that Jiang NanJin had carefully selected to ensure that the celebration was both special and unforgettable.
The table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes, ranging from classic French cuisine to innovative local delicacies. Each dish was carefully selected to satisfy everyone's taste buds. Laughter and well-wishes echoed around the dining table, creating a joyful atmosphere in the air.
Bai Huaiyu, with her usual clumsiness, tried to pick up a slippery shrimp with chopsticks but failed several times in a row, causing her colleagues nearby to chuckle softly. Jiang NanJin, watching her awkward attempts, couldn't help but tease, "Are you trying to pick up the shrimp or giving them swimming lessons?" Despite the playful words, his eyes were filled with amusement.
Bai Huaiyu smiled apologetically and then said, "You're so impressive; why don't you demonstrate it?" Jiang NanJin casually picked up a shrimp and placed it on her plate, as if to say, "See, it's that simple."
Friends and colleagues around them joined in their little interaction, each offering various blessings. One colleague raised a glass and said, "Cheers to Bai Huaiyu and Teacher Jiang's future; may your journey be filled with love and success!" Everyone raised their glasses, clinking them together with a crisp sound.
As the dinner progressed, the conversation shifted from work challenges to shared memories and future dreams. Everyone shared their stories and aspirations, filling the air with joy. That evening was not only a celebration of achievements, but also a celebration of the friendship and mutual support among them.
As night fell, the celebration came to a close in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
After the meal, they walked home together. Under the streetlights, their shadows stretched long, as if telling a story that belonged to them.
Bai Huaiyu suddenly said, "Nan Jin, I had a really great time today. It feels like I caught a glimpse of our future."
Jiang NanJin turned his head to look at her and softly asked, "What does the future look like?"
"It’s... it’s two people living together, working together, creating more beautiful works together. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we can overcome them together," Bai Huaiyu's voice was filled with anticipation, and her eyes sparkled with longing.
Listening to her words, a warmth surged within him. "Alright, let's walk this path together. No matter what, we will be together." His voice was firm and heartfelt, as if making a solemn promise.
Once home, they sat on the sofa and began discussing their future plans. Bai Huaiyu took out a notebook and diligently recorded their thoughts and plans. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and whenever she thought of a new idea, she would eagerly look at Jiang NanJin, as if seeking his approval. From the small details of daily life to the grand plans for work, they hoped to meticulously plan everything.
Jiang NanJin was holding a tablet, searching for various information, occasionally letting out soft sighs or smiles. His laziness and sharp tongue seemed to fade away with this shared goal, replaced by a gentle focus.
"What do you think about this?" Bai Huaiyu excitedly proposed a travel plan, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Jiang NanJin looked up, a hint of a smile in his eyes. "Do you really want to go camping? I remember you said last time that the sounds at night kept you awake."
Bai Huaiyu bit her lip, feeling a bit hesitant, then smiled, showing a confused yet adorable expression. "Well... we can give it a try. It might be fun! And with you around, I'm not afraid of anything."
Jiang NanJin gently reached out and touched her head, "Alright, let's give it a try. But if you get scared in the middle of the night, don't blame me."
"Of course not, I trust you." Bai Huaiyu's voice was filled with trust and reliance; her optimism filled their small home with warmth and hope.
As time passed, their conversation was filled with laughter, and every plan was carefully discussed and organized. This was not just a plan for the future, but a shared commitment to life between the two of them.
Halfway through their planning, Bai Huaiyu suddenly put down his pen, looked at Jiang NanJin, and said seriously, "NanJin, sometimes I feel insecure and afraid that I won't do well. But with you by my side, I feel like I can face anything."
Jiang NanJin Putting down the tablet, he walked over and gently embraced her: "Baby, you did great. Don't be afraid, because no matter what happens, I will support you and help you. We are each other's strongest backing."
That night, they talked for a long time, until the sky outside gradually lit up. They had more expectations for the future.
As the plan gradually came to fruition, Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin decided to take advantage of the weekend holiday to visit the upcoming comic convention. For Jiang NanJin, this was not only a great opportunity for leisure but also an excellent moment to understand industry trends and seek inspiration. For Bai Huaiyu, it was a brand new experience; she felt incredibly excited about being able to get up close with so many comic works and their creators.
As the weekend sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains into the bedroom, the hustle and bustle of the city seemed to fade slightly. Bai Huaiyu was in her carefully decorated small apartment, talking on the phone with Jiang NanJin.
"Are you sure you won't regret deciding to go to the comic convention with me?" Bai Huaiyu said, unconsciously fiddling with the pen in her hand, her voice tinged with slight nervousness.
Jiang NanJin's voice came from the other end, laced with his usual sharp tongue, "What's wrong? Are you already worried that I might get lost in the crowd or be overwhelmed by countless comic fans?"
Bai Huaiyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She knew her worries were somewhat unnecessary, but she still couldn't hide her excitement. "It's not that... it's just that this is really special to me. I never thought I would have the chance to go to a comic convention with you."
"Don't worry, I promise it will be an enjoyable experience," Jiang Nanjin said with a light laugh, his voice seeming to see through everything, which eased Bai Huaiyu's tension a little.
Once the plan was confirmed, the two began discussing the details of the comic convention. Bai Huaiyu was full of curiosity about every participating author and their works. She enthusiastically searched for information online, occasionally sharing her exciting discoveries with Jiang NanJin. Jiang NanJin, on the other hand, mostly listened quietly, occasionally offering insights from within the industry or gently teasing Bai Huaiyu for her excessive enthusiasm.
As the date of the convention approached, Bai Huaiyu's preparations intensified. She carefully selected an outfit, hoping to make a good impression at the event, while constantly reminding herself to stay calm and not overlook Jiang NanJin's feelings due to her own excitement.
On the day of the convention, Bai Huaiyu arrived early at Jiang NanJin's residence. She wore an exquisite blue dress paired with lightweight white canvas shoes, her hair tucked behind her ears, simple yet elegant. Upon seeing her, Jiang NanJin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, a hint of barely noticeable admiration flashing in his eyes.
"You look quite good today," Jiang NanJin said lightly, his words unusually free of the teasing tone he typically used.
Bai Huaiyu's cheeks were tinged with a faint blush as she shyly lowered her head. "Thank you, Jiang NanJin."
When they arrived at the convention venue, they were stunned by the lively scene before them. Various meticulously designed booths were arranged in the spacious exhibition hall, attracting comic enthusiasts from all directions. Among the crowd, participants dressed in various cosplay costumes could be seen, adding a touch of fantasy to the event.
Bai Huaiyu held Jiang NanJin's hand, curiously weaving through the various stalls, her eyes filled with delight. "NanJin, look over there! That person dressed as Light Yagami is so cool!" She pointed at a participant in a Death Note costume, her gaze sparkling with excitement.
Jiang NanJin, however, remained calm, even responding with a hint of teasing, "Cool? You haven't seen how I look in that outfit." His words were lighthearted, yet they exuded a unique sense of confidence.
After browsing for a while, they arrived at an area dedicated to showcasing the works of emerging comic artists. Various styles of comics were displayed here, ranging from traditional Japanese manga to Western graphic novels. Jiang NanJin's gaze lingered on a beautifully crafted art book; he picked it up and examined it closely, seemingly quite impressed with the author's work.
Bai Huaiyu watched him with curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "How is this book? You seem so engrossed in it."
Jiang NanJin turned her head, a serious expression flashing in her eyes. "The art style of this book is very distinctive, and the story is quite captivating. It seems we still have a lot to learn."
Bai Huaiyu, upon hearing this, was filled with admiration and trust. As a comic artist, Jiang NanJin's passion and pursuit for her work were unmatched. She gently held his hand and encouraged him, saying, "I believe your work will also be showcased here in the future and will be loved by even more people."
Jiang NanJin Looking at her, there was a flash of tenderness in his eyes: "With you saying that, I have more motivation as well."
They spent a pleasant day at the comic convention, not only gaining many new and exciting experiences, but also adding new inspiration and expectations for their future creative path. As night fell, they returned home together with full of harvest and joy, filled with beautiful expectations for the future.
In such days, their lives were filled with mutual support and encouragement, and each day they worked hard for their shared dreams. For Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin, this was exactly the life they pursued—a life full of love, dreams, and creativity.
And all of this was just the beginning of their new chapter.
