In this way, Li Qingning and the Chinese American man, who had just known each other for a few days, began to live as roommates. Although he can always speak well in front of her, he looks very quiet when he is alone.

She often hid in the corner of the stairs, watching him sitting on the sofa, writing and painting, sometimes frowning, sometimes with a faint smile, just like a little boy immersed in his fantasy world.

Finally one day, she can't help but quietly walk behind him, looking at his good-looking fingers holding a pencil in the picture book to write and draw, whispering: "what are you doing?"

Although her voice is soft, it still makes the man who is more than one meter eight strong. He jumps up from the sofa and looks at her. Then he realizes that his reaction is too violent.

I raised my hand and scratched the back of my head awkwardly. I said awkwardly in my smile, "I'm sorry, I'm too reactive. I'm not used to having another person at home."

Looking at the expression on his face, Li Qingning suddenly felt that the man who had always been a gentleman was a little like a big boy who didn't care about anything. The expression on his face even looked a little cute.

She waved her hand to him with a smile and said, "no, it's my fault. I shouldn't stand behind you quietly and speak suddenly. Everyone is disturbed when they are serious. It's always this kind of reaction."

"What can I do for you?" As he squatted down his tall body and collected the scattered paintings one by one, he asked softly.

She also quickly walked over and squatted down to clean up the paintings on the ground for him, and said: "nothing. I just see that you haven't gone out to draw pictures or go to work these days, so I feel curious..."

Brad stood up and said, "ha ha," with a few hearty smiles, "don't you think I make a living as a vagrant painter, painting portraits for people?"

Li Qingning did not have time to take a close look. He held the collected painting in front of his chest. Looking at him, he was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't guess."

He waved with a smile and said, "Qingning, you are so cute. Now guess what I do? "

She lowered her head and fixed her eyes on the draft in her hand. On it were all kinds of first drafts of jewelry design. The light lines outlined the complicated patterns. She looked through them one by one, and even some of them seemed familiar to her.

As if she suddenly remembered something, she looked back at him and scanned his handsome face like an X-ray. After a long time, she suddenly realized that she almost jumped up and held those paintings tightly to her chest.

"You're the one Her voice was a little broken because of surprise. At the moment when she called out his name, her whole body seemed to be covered with goose bumps.

She would never dream that when she first came to the United States, she would miraculously meet one of her favorite designers, and even more miraculously become his roommate.

It turned out that I had been living with my idol in the same house for so many days and nights. To think about it, fate is a magic thing.

Brad nodded with embarrassment. There was even a trace of shyness in his smile. When he looked down at her, his eyes were full of a gentle smile and said, "you even know me."

"Well!" She looked at him and nodded, "of course, to be an excellent designer is my greatest ideal. I like your works very much in China. I think your works are always charming, revealing luxury in a low profile. I always think you are a person with a lot of stories. I thought... "

"I thought I was an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes. I didn't expect that I was so young, did I?"

Li Qingning looked at the man, his eyes flashed a bit surprised, this man, always can say his mind, in front of him, he is like a transparent person.

She was embarrassed to smile at him, said: "no, I just didn't think you would be so young, the old man is not, but at least it should be an uncle." She said what she thought frankly, but she couldn't hide it anyway.

Brad laughed, shook his head and said, "it seems I let you down."

Then, as if he remembered something, he looked at her and said, "since you also like design, you can ask me if you have any questions, and if you like, you can go to Pratt college to listen. I'm an associate professor there."

After listening to his words, Li Qingning's eyes twinkled with bright light and asked happily, "really? Will that trouble you? "

"Well, it's hard in principle," Brad said, pretending to look down and meditate

The light in her eyes gradually darkened with his words. She gave a faint "Oh", then quickly waved her hand and said, "it doesn't matter. I'm very satisfied to get your advice occasionally."

He said with a smile: "I lied to you, of course, no problem, and if you do well, you can apply for admission, become a formal student and get the same degree as them."

The light in Li Qingning's eyes seemed to be lit up again. He pulled the sleeve of his shirt and said excitedly, "thank you so much. Really, I will try my best to become a formal student."

Brad suddenly looked serious and said, "I'm a very strict teacher. If you are lazy or your grades are not good, I'll get angry."

She nodded hard and said, "I will try my best! I don't know how to thank you. "

He tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "I'm tired of American food. I went to China once before, and I miss the food there. If you can cook, why don't you just cook a few dishes and thank me." He said, winking at her.

The next day, when Li Lin saw Lan Qing in the office, she was standing beside the president's office waiting for him with a copy of that day's itinerary in her hand.

When he came in, his tall figure sent out a cold chill, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little gaunt.

She thought that she would probably never forget this day in her life. His whole soul seemed to be hollowed out, as if lost to the extreme, which made people unbearable. He is such a proud person. Even now, he is trying his best to bear the emotions in his heart.

She sighed in the bottom of her heart, Li Qingning, you are really cruel.

Lan Qing stopped beside her. Her low voice sounded a little hoarse and said, "what have you found out?"

She looked up at him, then quickly lowered her eyes and shook her head.

Without saying anything, he pushed open the door of the office and strode in.
