Duncan Apartments.

Late at night.

“holy shit！”

MAX USED HIS HANDS AND FEET TOGETHER, PUSHED ADAM AWAY WITH ALL HIS STRENGTH, AND SHOUTED, "I WAS TALKING TO YOU, YOU REALLY DON'T TREAT ME AS A HUMAN BEING?"

"I'm an honest man. ”

Adam received the supernatural powers, lay down next to him, and said with a smile: "What you say is naturally what it is, and it is resolutely not discounted." ”

"Cattle!"

MAX's previous emotion from Adam's appreciative gaze was completely gone, and he scolded hatefully: "According to you, it seems that you are going to join the Mormon Church in the future, otherwise whoever marries you will suffer, it's too perverted." ”

Mormonism is a sect in the United States, advocating polygamy and all kinds of chaos, much like a cult.

"Not interested. ”

Adam lazily said, "That's an evil way, not a righteous way." ”

"You're not heretical?"

MAX said with a poisonous tongue: "I think you like to go the wrong way the most!"

"Huh. ”

Adam smiled and didn't answer, and changed the subject: "MAX, how did you think about going to college last time I told you about going to college?"

"Not very good. ”

MAX said unhappily.

As soon as she said this, she was a little uncomfortable.

In the future, she wants to be a children's book artist, that is her dream.

But for her, a dream is a dream because it is out of reach.

For this reason, she deliberately went to a community college to study painting, more to feel her dreams and get closer to them.

But to be honest, she never wanted to really touch the dream, or have the luxury of making it happen.

Even at the thought of striding closer to her dream, she still had an inexplicable sense of panic.

"Let's talk about it. ”

Adam looked sideways at her, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about a lot of things. ”

MAX, as always, is the first to say a yellow mouth: "Your brother is in first place." ”

"Really?"

Adam laughed, "Then don't explain it quickly, or your worries will become true." ”

MAX rolled his eyes, was silent for a moment, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I'm just timid, whenever everything is good, it feels particularly unreal, and I always feel that when I wake up tomorrow, there will be some unexpected changes, and these changes are never good." ”

"I see. ”

Adam nodded.

This is also a stress mechanism, which belongs to a kind of self-protection.

I don't want to do good things, and when bad things happen, I won't be disappointed, even hopeless.

"Then what do you think happened when you met me?"

Adam laughed, "Good or bad?"

"Half and half. ”

MAX COMPLAINED: "IT'S GOOD UNDER THE BED, IT'S BAD ON THE BED." ”

“......”

Adam was speechless, knowing that he was a little wanton with MAX, but he couldn't be blamed entirely for this, who let her provoke him at every turn.

Like tonight, she took the initiative to ask Adam to do whatever he wanted, and she could do it.

What could Adam do?

Naturally, it's really casual.

"No one is always lucky, and no one is always unlucky. ”

Adam hugged MAX and poured chicken soup for the soul: "Maybe you were unlucky before, but I have a feeling that from now on, you are lucky." ”

"Because I met you?"

MAX LAUGHED.

"Yes. ”

Adam said seriously: "Maybe I'm your lucky star, what do you say?"

"Lucky Star. ”

MAX muttered, pressed his face to Adam's chest, and smiled noncommittally, "Maybe." ”

“so。 ”

Adam got down to business: "Do you have any concerns? ”

"Tuition. ”

Unable to withstand Adam's enthusiasm, MAX also began to reveal some of his inner thoughts: "The tuition of community colleges is already so high, let alone regular universities, the key is that even if you can go to college successfully, you may not be able to find a suitable job when you come out, and there are fewer painters who are downcast?"

The cost of community college tuition is relative.

Compared with regular universities, the tuition fees of community colleges are naturally very low.

But for someone like MAX who works as a waiter while going to school, the tuition is still too high.

If it is said that going to a community college is to pay for getting closer to her dreams, MAX can barely afford to spend a luxury, but the cost of going to a regular college is unbearable for her.

In addition, the problem of employment after going to university is also a big problem.

This kind of major with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere is itself a typical example of unemployment as soon as you graduate.

Most graduates can't find a job in their major at all, and end up changing careers, which is a great waste of the professional skills they have spent a lot of money on.

Although MAX is only 19 years old, he has long known that life is difficult, so he naturally does not naively think that all the down-and-out painters are talented.

After all, being pregnant is like being pregnant, and after a long time, it will always be exposed.

And the general downfall, it is obvious that it is not at all that Huai Cai can explain, but the limited capacity of the industry, which is not enough to support too many people to take this road.

In this case, she is not confident, so she will not have the illusion that she will definitely become a small group of successes, how can she not retreat.

"So, you're lucky to meet me. ”

Adam smiled: "Tuition and employment are not problems, and these two are actually a problem, the reason why you are worried is because you don't have the confidence to use the knowledge you have learned to find a suitable job to pay off your student loan, isn't it?"

"It's not obvious. ”

MAX complained.

"What if I help you book your job in advance?"

Adam had already thought about this problem, and said confidently: "You just need to go to college for further study, learn to improve your skills, and once you graduate, a related major and a well-paid job is waiting for you, so are you still worried?"

"What job?"

MAX was a little excited.

"O draftsman of children's books. ”

Adam laughed, "Isn't this your dream job?"

"Really?"

MAX exclaimed, then thought of something, his mood dropped again, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it, you must be begging someone, right?" ”

"It is better to ask for others than for yourself. ”

Adam laughed and said, "You know I'm a writer, right? I have an idea, and if I want to realize it, I need the help of a painter, and when the time comes, I will write the plot, and you will be responsible for drawing it, and we will work together to create a high-quality children's book, how about it?"

"I'm already like this, there's really no new tricks, you don't need to coax me anymore. ”

MAX didn't believe it: "It's really inspiring, won't you find someone else to paint? Those people are better than me, they can be recruited now, why wait for me to graduate from college." ”

"First of all, it's just an inspiration, good work takes time to polish, two years is just right. Secondly, recruiting people to help is also about loyalty, and I believe in you more. ”

Adam said serious nonsense: "Of course, I don't deny that I want to help you, it's not contradictory, we're good friends, it's not normal to help as much as we can." ”

"It's not a friend who can help. ”

MAX PUSHED AWAY ADAM'S MOVING HAND AND GOT UP TO LOOK AT ADAM, "DO YOU WANT TO BE MY SUGAR DADDY?"
