distorted impression

"It's not yet..." Jiang Chengyue didn't have time to stop it.

However, Nalson couldn't understand or hear his words, so he kept praising Lu Xu for his good looks.

Lu Xu, who was busy responding to Nalson, ignored his words without a trace.

NancyDeer's counter in Manhattan, New York was even more gorgeous and beautiful than what Jiang Chengyue had seen in Ningcheng. It was located near the entrance of the mall, occupying two floors of space.The SA in formal attire was busy receiving customers, and Lu Xu fiddled with the camera of his mobile phone from time to time to show Jiang Chengyue the layout of the store.

Lu Xu tapped the Bluetooth headset with his fingertips: "Take a look? Just tell me what you like, and I'll bring it back to you."

"Just take yourself back home," Jiang Chengyue said.

"You can sleep in my room." Lu Xu said, "I'm in New York, so it won't affect your studies."

Jiang Chengyue's heartbeat had just returned to normal, but Lu Xu messed it up again: "Mmm... OK."

Lu Xu chatted with him a few more words before hanging up the phone.

The equity change of the luxury brand NancyDeer was not as calm as Lu Xu described. Jiang Chengyue followed Lu Xu to get to know basic fashion e-magazines a while ago, and from the dynamics of these e-magazines, he got a glimpse of the turbulent waves of NancyDeer during this period.Deer and Nancy have completely retained their core design style in this equity competition.

And the trouble that Lu Nian's ex-husband brought to Lu Xu seems to have come to an end for the time being.

Aunt Lu Nian also wanted to return to China recently, so she found time to chat with Jiang Chengyue.

When Jiang Chengyue called back, he happened to be sitting next to Lu Xu's workbench, and he was still fiddling with fresh roses with his fingertips.

"I didn't find a chance to ask you." Lu Nian said, "Your brother Lu Xu didn't beat you and scold you, did you?"

"No." Jiang Chengyue shook his head, "Lu Xu...brother, you are very kind to me."

Ever since Lu Xu said he started chasing him, every time he talked to Aunt Lu, he felt guilty.

He lived in someone else's house and seduced other people's geese, which seemed unreasonable.

"That's good." Lu Nian said comfortably, "Although I brought up Kyle, he has a very bad temper and sometimes gets angry for no reason."

"No." Jiang Chengyue said, "He has a reason to get angry."

I just want to think about it carefully, he can slowly deduce the reason why Lu Xu gets angry every time, it is not without reason.

Lu Nian was amused by him: "Did Kyle threaten you? Protect him so obediently?"

There was no threat, Jiang Chengyue was just a little biased.

Lu Nian was in a good mood, and told Jiang Chengyue something about the past: "My ex-husband, Enrich, is an artist, I probably didn't tell you?"

Jiang Chengyue said no.

"He likes to paint, and he is famous. Back then, your mother and I were in the medical aid team to Africa. I met him in a small town on the border of country A, where he was collecting folk songs." Lu Nian said, "Later, your mother I stayed there to work, and I went to Germany to get married. During the time when I first got married, I lived a very happy life. Marrying an artist is a very romantic thing.”

Jiang Chengyue listened to her quietly, occasionally humming to show that she was listening.

"The good times don't last long. After Kyle was born, his inspiration for painting suddenly began to dry up, and his temper gradually became bad. If he couldn't draw, he would get angry at me and Kyle. I remember one time when Kyle came back from the yard and reached out to hug him. leg, was pushed down the steps by him, and since then, Kyle has never been close to him."

"Did Lu Xu tell you about his going to prison?" Lu Nian asked.

"I mentioned it." Jiang Chengyue said.

"He was imprisoned for nearly two years. He broke a finger in prison, and he couldn't draw anything when he came out." Aunt Lu's voice was gentle and calm, "He thinks Lu Xu ruined him."

Lu Nian said that Enrich knows many friends who paint, and recently he asked someone to make a lot of trouble for Lu Xu.

Jiang Chengyue's hand holding the rose branch suddenly tightened, and the untrimmed rose thorn pierced his fingertips, and small drops of blood leaked out.

"It's a headache." Lu Nian didn't often talk about these things with others, probably because he thought he was a good listener, so he said more, "You know, artists are more stubborn."

"Brother Lu...it's okay." Jiang Chengyue said.

"He's not very good either." Aunt Lu laughed a few times. "I was the first to object when he wanted to learn design. Who doesn't want their son to be outstanding... I'm just afraid that he will follow his father's old path."

"He won't." Jiang Chengyue said with certainty.

Suddenly, he didn't feel that Lu Xu's teasing him all the time was an annoying thing.

He wanted to see Lu Xu a little bit.

But New York is too far away, and the air ticket is too expensive, so he can only wait for the news from Lu Xu through the transmission of sound and video.

Because she heard something about Lu Xu's childhood from Aunt Lu, Jiang Chengyue has no resistance to the cross-border video calls that Lu Xu may make anytime and anywhere in the past two days.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xu asked, "Sit so straight."

Jiang Chengyue carefully put the phone on the desk, hid the earphones, and quietly typed to Lu Xu——

[Bamboo shoots]: I'm in class.

"Take off your necklace, it's ugly." Lu Xu said.

Jiang Chengyue nodded, raised her hand, and took off the necklace on her neck that she matched with when she went out.

Lu Xu was satisfied, and lowered his raised eyebrows: "18:30 Beijing time, is this time for class?"

[Bamboo shoots]: elective course.

This is the language elective course Lu Xu asked him to take last time, German.

Jiang Chengyue has already attended a class, this is the second class, and he is still talking about the introductory content. He is sensitive to numbers, but his intuition for language and characters is not good. Take notes, for fear of missing any important points.

Lu Xu saw his panic, and a low laugh came from the earphone.

Jiang Chengyue's back was numb from his laughter, and she wanted to stare at someone, but couldn't find the direction, so she could only draw a circle on the notebook angrily.

"Jiang Chengyue." The teacher called his name.

"Ah...here!" Jiang Chengyue stood up.

"How about the 'apple' just mentioned?" the teacher asked.

Jiang Chengyue didn't attend class just now.

The whole class turned their attention to it.

"Apfel (German, Apple)." Lu Xu's voice came from the Bluetooth headset on one side.

Jiang Chengyue collected himself and imitated the pronunciation he heard through the earphones.

"Yes, please sit down." The teacher motioned him to sit down.

Jiang Chengyue seldom encountered such a situation where he was at a loss when asked questions, so he pointed the finger at Lu Xu——

[Bamboo shoots]: I won't talk to you anymore, you affect my study.

"It doesn't matter, your teacher's pronunciation is not as authentic as mine." Lu Xu said idly.

In the class, the teacher was still explaining the basic knowledge, and was asked by the students a few common expressions, and was explaining: "'I love you'? Ichliebedich."

Jiang Chengyue, who was about to hang up the phone, heard the authentic, elegant and magnetic voice of the repeater: "Ichliebedich (I love you)."

Jiang Chengyue put the phone on the table.

The performance of Mengbai and the show that Lu Xu wants to see are both at the end of the month, and both happen to be in Shanghai.

Jiang Chengyue arrived in Shanghai first, but the performance was after the show that Lu Xu wanted to see.Lu Xu returned to China that day and rushed directly to the fashion week venue without taking a break. Jiang Chengyue happened to be sitting on a bench in the park next to the show, waiting for him.

There are a lot of people who come to watch the show during the fashion week. There are several RVs and nanny cars parked outside the parking lot next to the park. People passing by are wearing clothes with a sense of design, and there are many photographers nearby to take pictures.

Jiang Chengyue unexpectedly met a familiar person here.

Lu Nian's ex-husband, Enrich.

He stood with several people carrying drawing boards. Jiang Chengyue wanted to lower his head, but this one saw him first and walked straight towards him.

"Hi, kid." The polite-looking Enrich greeted him.

"Hello." Jiang Chengyue said a little distantly.

"Waiting for Kyle?" the other person asked.

I don't know why, when the name kyle came out of the other party's mouth, Jiang Chengyue was a little angry for no reason.

"Yeah." His attitude was lukewarm.

But Enrich didn't leave, and even sat down next to him. Jiang Chengyue felt that every cell in his body was resisting, but he endured the attack.

"Are you still with Kyle?" the other asked.

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Why doesn't it matter?" The other party said with a smile, "His character, his artistic talent, all came from me, but he ruined me."

The smile on the other party's face was cool, and it didn't soak into the bottom of his heart.

"His artistic talent comes from himself." Jiang Chengyue retorted, "You haven't taught him, and his personality is also different from yours."

His rebuttal somehow annoyed Enrich, the other party suddenly changed his face and cursed a few words that he didn't understand.

This made Jiang Chengyue realize how moody the person in front of him was.

He stood up and wanted to leave, but the other party grabbed his arm: "I haven't finished talking yet, should I let you go?"

Enrich raised his hand and slapped his cheek.

This was unexpected, Jiang Chengyue couldn't dodge in time and closed his eyes.

The imagined pain did not subside, Enrich snorted in pain, was kicked and fell to the ground, Jiang Chengyue took a step back, and crashed into an embrace.

"Lu Xu? Is it you...?" He smelled the familiar lavender aftertaste.

"Let's leave you alone. I didn't take you seriously. You dare to touch him." A cold light flashed in Lu Xu's blue eyes, "I can burn your house down once, and I can burn down your house a second time. Do you think I ruined your life, and I really ruined it for you to see?"

He is like a beast that has been violated, wanting to tear the intruders apart and protect the treasure he holds in his heart.

A lens came into focus.

After speaking, Lu Xu raised his hand to beat someone up, but was stopped by Jiang Chengyue.

Surrounded by photographers and cameras, they pay close attention to their every move, revealing some people's malicious intentions.

"Don't... Brother Lu." Jiang Chengyue clutched the corner of Lu Xu's clothes, "I'm fine, don't be angry."

He stood on tiptoe and pressed it against Lu Xu's ear, with a very soft voice, trying to calm Lu Xu's anger——

"Be my boyfriend, okay? I don't want you to chase me anymore. I like you so much."
