In the late-night city, it resembled a sleeping giant, with only the lights of skyscrapers flickering under the starry sky, like distant galaxies. Occasionally, vehicles passed through the streets, emitting a low hum, while the night breeze gently blew, carrying away the noise and busyness of the day.
In the publisher's office, Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin were still engrossed in their comic creation. The office lights were warm and soft, illuminating their workstations. The table was cluttered with manuscripts and sketches, showcasing their effort and creativity, while notebooks lay scattered across the desk, revealing a sense of organized chaos.
Bai Huaiyu rubbed her eyes wearily. Although her face showed signs of fatigue, her eyes still sparkled with determination and passion. She carefully examined each page of the comic draft, occasionally mumbling to herself as she recorded her thoughts in a notebook. Her usual daze and cuteness seemed to vanish at this moment, replaced by a focus and love for her work.
Jiang NanJin appeared relatively lazy, leaning back in his chair with one hand supporting his head while the other lightly tapped a pen against the desk, as if keeping time with some rhythm. His gaze seemed to drift beyond the office window, staring at the stars in the night sky. Although he looked somewhat distracted, his mind was actually racing through the plot and character development of the comic.
The ticking of the clock echoed in the room, accompanied by their breathing and the sound of their pens. This kind of night was both a challenge and a pleasure for them. In the world of creation, they pursued a common goal, despite their different personalities, deepening their understanding and tacit understanding of each other in this act of creation.
The night outside the window and the indoor lighting created a sharp contrast, forming a quiet and focused atmosphere.
"Bai Huaiyu, I think this storyline could be enriched a bit more," he said, a hint of doubt in his voice.
Jiang NanJin turned his head, a glimmer of depth in his eyes. "What are your thoughts?"
Bai Huaiyu picked up a sketch and pointed to a scene on it. "The sudden change of the main character here feels a bit abrupt. If we add some background description or inner monologue, it might make the story more coherent."
Jiang NanJin furrowed his brows, seemingly deep in thought. "Your suggestion is good, but doing so might make the entire story too lengthy. We need to find a balance."
The two of them fell into a deep discussion, carefully considering every detail and each line of dialogue. As the night grew deeper, the only sounds in the office were their conversation and the scratching of pens.
In this atmosphere, Bai Huaiyu's thoughts became clearer, and her suggestions grew increasingly creative and profound. Jiang NanJin gradually let go of his aloofness and began to seriously listen to Bai Huaiyu's opinions, providing feedback in return.
"Do you know, Bai Huaiyu, sometimes I really admire your imagination and creativity," Jiang NanJin suddenly said, his tone carrying a hint of sincerity.
Bai Huaiyu was somewhat surprised, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, Jiang NanJin. But without your guidance, I wouldn't be able to do it."
At that moment, a spark of inspiration flashed in Jiang NanJin's eyes. "Bai Huaiyu, I have an idea. We can incorporate a dream sequence into this plot to showcase the protagonist's inner world and struggles."
Bai Huaiyu's eyes lit up. "This idea is fantastic! The dream sequence can not only enrich the storyline but also add some mystery and poetic elements."
As they talked, their excitement grew, and the sparks of creativity collided in the late-night office, creating a brilliant glow. Together, they were brainstorming a new story concept, carefully refining every detail.
As time passed, they finally settled on this new creative direction. The efforts of this night not only made their comic work even more outstanding but also deepened their relationship.
As the last bus of the night drove down the street, sending off the final group of late-night returnees, Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin finally packed up their things and prepared to leave the office.
Bai Huaiyu stood by the window, gazing at the night view outside, her heart filled with satisfaction and pride. Meanwhile, Jiang NanJin quietly stood beside her, his gaze deep, as if he were contemplating something.
On this night, for them, it was not just a creative experience, but also a spiritual exchange. In this tranquil night, their creativity and thoughts collided silently, hatching an exciting story concept together.
As they walked out of the office together, the night was deep, with only occasional passing vehicles on the streets and flickering lights under the street lamps. They walked together on the empty streets, and their souls became closer to each other on this night.
Bai Huaiyu said softly, "Jiang NanJin, thank you so much today. Without your guidance, I might still be wandering in confusion."
Jiang NanJin smiled slightly, his voice carrying a hint of ease. "No need to thank me; this is part of my job. Besides, having an editor like you makes my creative process much more enjoyable."
They walked down the quiet street in the deep night, the distance between them seeming to grow more intimate.
As they strolled along the silent road, Jiang NanJin and Bai Huaiyu's conversation was occasionally interrupted by the rustling of leaves in the night breeze, yet their unspoken understanding became increasingly solid in the stillness of the night.
"Bai Huaiyu, are you hungry?" Jiang NanJin suddenly asked, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Bai Huaiyu covered her stomach and shyly nodded, "Yes, working late like this has made me almost faint from hunger."
In the late-night city, a 24-hour snack shop radiated warm light, becoming a small haven in the night. Jiang NanJin led Bai Huaiyu inside, greeted by the aroma of home-cooked dishes. The decor was simple yet cozy, with landscape paintings hanging on the walls and wooden tables and chairs that exuded an unpretentious feel.
They chose a table in the corner to sit down and ordered some late-night snacks: steaming soup dumplings, refreshing cold cucumbers, and fragrant stir-fried rice noodles. Bai Huaiyu, feeling ravenous, began to eat heartily. She ate somewhat carelessly, occasionally getting food on the corners of her mouth.
Jiang NanJin looked at Bai Huaiyu's confused yet adorable eating manner and couldn't help but chuckle, "Bai Huaiyu, the way you eat really makes it hard to associate you with that elegant young lady from a noble family."
Upon hearing Jiang NanJin's words, a faint blush appeared on Bai Huaiyu's face. She awkwardly wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Oh, stop teasing me. I'm just a bit too hungry."
Jiang NanJin's face revealed a subtle tenderness as he handed Bai Huaiyu a napkin, his tone relaxed: "Don't be nervous, I was just joking. Go ahead and eat, these snacks look delicious."
As they enjoyed their late-night meal, Bai Huaiyu's laughter was bright and pleasant, her optimism and vivacity filling the small shop with life. When she spoke about her work, her eyes sparkled with passion and dreams. Jiang NanJin, on the other hand, ate leisurely, occasionally chiming in with a few words; his voice was deep and charming, laced with a hint of humor and laziness.
The atmosphere between the two is relaxed and pleasant, as if isolating the outside world. In this small space, they enjoy each other's company and this simple happiness. The tranquility of the night, the aroma of the food, and the subtle interaction between them weave a beautiful picture together.
As time passes, the late-night meal comes to an end, and the two are ready to leave. Walking out of the small shop, the night is still thick, and the light and shadow under the street lamps reflect their figures.
"Tonight is really wonderful," Bai Huaiyu said softly, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
Jiang NanJin looked up at the night sky and took a deep breath. "Yeah, it's nice to have evenings like this once in a while."
They walked slowly, undisturbed, simply immersed in the tranquility and beauty of the moment. On the night streets, their figures gradually faded into the distance, but the memories in their hearts grew ever deeper.
As they walked home, Bai Huaiyu felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Jiang NanJin. Meanwhile, Jiang NanJin silently made a decision in his heart; he wanted to transform this special feeling, this shared creative passion with Bai Huaiyu, into more outstanding works.
The night was deep, and the two finally arrived at the fork in the road. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unspoken words.
"Good night, Jiang NanJin," Bai Huaiyu said softly, turning to walk toward his home.
Jiang NanJin nodded slightly, watching her figure gradually fade away until it disappeared into the night: "Good night, Bai Huaiyu."
