The first round of interviews went well, and the partner surprisingly liked Yan Banxia's design style.

Si Nanxing's brother-in-law went back to China temporarily to deal with it, but Yan Banxia had already received two votes to pass. She and the applicants who also passed the first round came to the second round of interviews. They took the SLR given by their partners and took pictures within 5 minutes. Ten photos, and then explain the meaning of these ten photos one by one, and choose one of them to make a poster with a theme of your own, but the time for making the poster should not exceed 15 minutes.

Compared to the panic of another applicant, Yan Banxia is obviously very relaxed.

She has designed countless peripherals such as logos, posters, badges, etc. for various departments and clubs at the university. The interview at the university at that time was the same as now. Making posters should be because foreigners prefer this kind of interview method that can show their strength in a short period of time.

In the end, Yan Banxia successfully got the job of designer assistant. She is very grateful for the skills she has trained in the university interviews in those years.

Because the partner likes Yan Banxia's works, he also likes to chat with Yan Banxia.Although he is a foreigner, he loves Chinese culture and speaks standard mandarin. After the interview, he talked with Yan Banxia about his cleanliness addiction for a long time.

It's just that Si Nanxing, who was going to ask Yan Banxia for a meal, waited anxiously beside her. She was so hungry that she wanted to order takeaway dumplings and eat them with vinegar.

Both the designer and the assistant can live in the apartment allocated by the studio. This is not what Si Nanxing meant, nor was it meant by her brother-in-law, it was meant by the partner.

The partners feel that designers are the core and soul of the studio, and it is not necessary to work overtime if they live close to the studio.The partner is from New York, and he knows the New York subway very well, so he wanted the designer and his assistant to live closer, saving time on the road, and getting more sleep time. After rest, the inspiration will naturally be more.

Yan Banxia worriedly said that he had a cleanliness habit and that living with others might cause trouble to others. The partner waved his hand and said that this was nothing. , if the designer and the assistant suddenly have an inspiration and want to communicate, it is definitely very convenient. Just open the door, walk less than two or three steps, and then knock on the door, and that's it.

Si Nanxing never imagined that she would worship her partner as much as she is at this moment. No wonder she asked her brother-in-law why she arranged an apartment for her, and her brother-in-law also said that he didn't know. big gift.

Just after Christmas and New Year's Day, the studio didn't have any manuscripts to accept, so the partner asked Yan Banxia to start work next Monday, and enthusiastically patted Si Nanxing on the shoulder, saying, "You and Summer used to be classmates, so how many days have you been together?" God helped Summer move, and it happened to let Summer show you around New York."

Yan Banxia thought about it, she could not live with her parents and move to a clean high-end apartment without having to pay for it herself, which is really cool.But when she thought about the fact that Sinanxing lived across the door in the future, and that Sinanxing said the day before yesterday that he wanted to chase her, she had a headache.

However, Si Nanxing thought she didn't have enough headaches, so he volunteered to his partner that she had an international driver's license and could drive her to IKEA in her brother-in-law's car.

Yan Banxia turned around, rolled her eyes, and said to herself, who wants Sinan Xingzai, she can take the free shuttle bus from IKEA, does she need Sinan Xingzai to carry her around?

On Tuesday, Si Nanxing stopped at the door of Yan Banxia's house and waited for her. As soon as Yan Banxia left the house, his mouth immediately curled into a line, very upset.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Yan Banxia gave up struggling, and sat in the co-pilot helplessly, playing with the seat belt.

"Help you move, you can't move so much luggage by yourself." Si Nanxing said with a frank smile, "I said, I want to chase you, so I must behave in front of you and strive for extra points. "

"I'm not moving today. I don't have any luggage today. Also, what points do I add? Didn't I make it clear to you that day? I don't want to be in a relationship now. I just want to make money. Don't bother me, okay?" .”

Si Nanxing raised his eyebrows and smirked, and stopped at the intersection of traffic lights, taking the time to pinch Yan Banxia's soft ears. "Then I'll give you money, and you will fall in love with me, okay?"

Yan Banxia glared at her with dead fish eyes, and said in a cold voice: "You want to play with her?"

"No, no, no, of course not. How can my relationship with you be described as nurturing." Si Nanxing patted her head regretfully. She has grown older all these years, but her EQ has not improved. "I can't speak my head. I'm talking nonsense. I'm sorry. Don't be angry."

"...Are you Sinanxing's second personality?" Yan Banxia said dumbfoundingly, "The Sinanxing I know is not only domineering, but also domineering. If he disagrees with me, he will shake my face and love to control me. She dotes on me, but she is not as naive as you."

"Six years, Xia Xia, people will grow up."

"Does that mean you'll be this naive when you grow up?"

Si Nanxing drove into the parking lot of IKEA, was busy looking for a parking space, did not speak for a while, waited for her to get out of the car and locked it, turned around and kissed Yan Banxia's woolen cap, and replied sincerely: "It's silly It's easier to follow you."

"Go away, do I look like you like silly people?"

"It's not like that."

The naive Sinanxing is also a domineering Sinanxing, she ignored Yan Banxia's resistance, took her hand and stuffed it into her pocket.

"But there is an exception to everything."

Yan Banxia clicked his tongue and said, "Then we'll see, anyway, I don't want to fall in love anymore."

Si Nanxing laughed confidently, and forced Yan Banxia to clasp his fingers through the gloves in his pocket. "I'm afraid you have forgotten that the essence of human beings is true fragrance."

"Tsk, you don't even know how to cook, it's really delicious, you're so beautiful, you have the nerve to say it's really delicious, you."

Yan Banxia didn't bother to care, and let Si Nanxing lead her right hand, she took the measuring ruler and pick-up list from IKEA at the entrance with her left hand, and then took out the ballpoint pen from the canvas bag.

Yesterday, her partner took her to see the apartment. She memorized the size of the living room and bedroom. I have to say that this high-end apartment is really clean. In fact, she really doesn't care about the size of the apartment. As long as it is clean enough, she will care about the smallest place. can live.

"How long has it been since you had physical contact with anyone?"

Yan Banxia looked at Si Nanxing in bewilderment, pretending not to understand the tone of her intentionally emphasizing the word "others" when she spoke, how old and naive she is.

"From my obsession with cleanliness..." Yan Banxia stopped in her tracks and stopped talking, why did she feel like she was being slapped in the face. "I haven't had physical contact with others since my cleanliness, what's wrong."

Si Nanxing smiled and said nothing, pinched Yan Banxia's thumb in his pocket.

Really fragrant.

Yan Banxia suddenly thought of this damn human nature.

The apartment is a one-bedroom, not big, the design of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and the design of the bay window in the bedroom are especially deeply in Yan Banxia's heart.

Yan Banxia intends to keep everything simple, don't need too much furniture, just enough. The partner said that all the money for buying furniture will be reimbursed, so she can finally not have to pick some unsightly furniture because of the price.

The lighting in the living room is very good. Yan Banxia plans to buy a big long table and put it next to the floor-to-ceiling windows as a work table. When she is tired from designing, she can see the scattered high-rise buildings outside the window and the central park not far away when she looks up. How pleasing to the eye.

As for the bedroom, she plans to put a bed and a wardrobe, simplicity is paramount.She has a sleep disorder, so she must buy heavy curtains with strong blackout ability for the bedroom windows. Fortunately, the sound insulation of the apartment is good, and she doesn't have to worry about where to buy sound-absorbing panels with the best effect.

The color tone of the apartment is mainly black, white and gray, and Yan Banxia also buys furniture according to this color tone, adding some log elements at most.

She doesn't have many clothes, but the down jackets in winter take up a lot of space when stacked. She took a fancy to a birch chest of drawers, which is made of the original color of wood, and the simple appearance adds wood grain. She likes it very much. I couldn't fit her long down jacket, so I had to give up.

"You want to buy a double bed?" Si Nanxing looked at Yan Banxia with bright eyes, and couldn't wait to sit on it to test the elasticity.

"The single bed is too narrow, and I will fall off when I fall asleep." Yan Banxia handed her a small packet of alcohol tablets, and said seriously, "Tear it open, take it out and wipe your butt, have you seen this bed?" The mattress is so dirty, the white mattress has turned gray, how dare you sit on it.”

Yan Banxia chose a solid pine bed frame, and there were no drawers underneath, which was convenient for her to clean.She measured it with a measuring ruler, clicked on the phone and checked the size recorded in the memo, and then wrote down the number of the bed frame on the pick-up list.

In order to get a better rest for her cervical spine and lumbar disc, Yan Banxia specially chose a low, hard mattress, definitely not a high, soft mattress.What kind of high bed soft pillow, put her here is to use the overworked cervical spine and injured lumbar disc to die.

Yan Banxia was lowering his head to write the number of the mattress, while Si Nanxing who didn't know where he was was yelling beside him.

"Hey, what kind of mattress did you choose?" Si Nanxing poked the mattress with his finger in disgust, then spread out his palms and asked Yan Banxia for alcohol hand sanitizer. "This mattress is too hard, how can you sleep well."

Yan Banxia didn't bother to answer, so she walked over and picked out a black and white striped four-piece bed suit, which looked like different shades of ink had been splashed, exuding an indescribable sense of ease and comfort, so she I am very satisfied. I took a new set and put it in the shopping cart. I also took a pillow with a splashed ink pattern and a light gray blanket and planned to put it at the bay window.

"Can you change the mattress?"

"No." Yan Banxia pushed the shopping cart to the closet. "A firmer mattress is better for my waist and neck."

"What's good, of course the soft mattress is comfortable to lie on." As he spoke, Si Nanxing pulled Yan Banxia's arm to go to the mattress.

Yan Banxia opened Sinanxing's hand impatiently, then turned cold and blocked her with what Sinanxing said. "It's been six years, and people grow up. It's been six years and you still don't allow me to have a lumbar disc herniation? I have injuries. Do I know or do you know? Are you sleeping on this bed or me? You If you like a soft mattress so much, you can buy it and lie down on it yourself, what are you doing here with me?"

Yan Banxia glanced at Si Nanxing, pushed the shopping cart away, leaving Si Nanxing alone in a daze.

After a long time, Si Nanxing let out a long sigh, frowned and pressed his temples, and quickly caught up with Yan Banxia.

It turns out that the distance of six years is really far away.

Yan Banxia matched the furniture for the bedroom with a log bed frame, a pure white mattress, a four-piece suit with splashed ink and throw pillows, a light gray blanket, a pure white wardrobe, and dark gray curtains. The small shelf serves as a bedside table.

The living room is more concise, with only a long red and black table and pure black wooden chairs. Yan Banxia has read a news about the explosion of the lift chair. wooden chair.

"You don't want to buy a dining table?"

"I am alone, what kind of dining table should I buy? My long table is enough for me to use as a work table and a dining table."

Yan Banxia doesn't watch TV, so the TV cabinet can be saved, and there is no extra decoration in the living room. If there are guests, there is not even an extra chair for the guests to sit on.

Si Nanxing could tell that Yan Banxia never planned to invite her to dinner at the apartment on the day he joined the group.

The partner's move-in gift - the refrigerator was delivered yesterday. As expected of the partner of the design studio, he has a unique vision and picked a small pure white refrigerator. take.

When renovating a house in New York, the kitchen stove, oven, and combination cabinets will be installed, and the apartment’s water, electricity, heating, and air-conditioning are also complete.

"Didn't you say that the apartment is black, white and gray, why do you always buy floral bowls and plates?"

Yan Banxia couldn't take it anymore, picked up the apron and threw it hard at Si Nanxing's face. "Is it my family who buys the bowls and chopsticks or yours, huh? You've been chattering next to me all afternoon, is it bothering you?"

"I don't..."

"It's nothing." Yan Banxia Banxia clenched his fists and tapped his forehead lightly, looking like he had a headache. "Sinanxing, can you be normal? If you are still like this, I can't work with you."
