On February 2, another weekend, Evan and Audrey "meet" in the park.

Audrey with a sketchbook and Evan with a newspaper bought at the entrance of the park.

"800,000 steelworkers in the United States have joined the nationwide strike, pointing the finger at U.S. Steel. ”

"Recently, there have been frequent strikes in Los Angeles, California, and police have attacked strikers with tear gas. ”

The recent headlines are all related to the strike, Evan lost interest after reading half of it, put the newspaper aside, glanced at Audrey, who was concentrating on painting, and sighed: "It's ...... to be in dire straits outside, and it's peaceful here."

"Why, isn't this bad?" Audrey turned around and said after hearing Evan's exclamation: "Compared to war-torn Europe, even the United States is still like heaven now." ”

"Of course not!" Evan used the newspaper as a pillow and lay down on the grass, looking up at the sky, "just...... It's a bit divisive!"

"Split?" Audrey put down her pencil and looked at Evan and blinked, "I don't understand. ”

"We were working with each other some time ago, and now we're fighting each other to the ground......" Evan said vaguely, and Audrey was confused.

She stared at Evan, at his deep eyes, blinking and blinking, she was also stupid, and she didn't hear what Evan said later. After a while, she came back to her senses and asked, "Evan, you seem to be very concerned about current affairs, politics and society can be said to be the Tao, will you devote yourself to this in the future?"

Evan listened, laughed, shook his head, and said, "Of course not, I'm just a keyboardman in politics or something, and I don't do anything just talking." ”

"Keyboard Warrior? What is that? is it derived from Superman?"

"You don't have to pay attention to my own words. ”

Audrey looked at Evan speechlessly, and then asked, "So, Evan, what do you really want to do?"

"Don't say you haven't thought about it, Evan, you're different from ordinary high school students, I've known you for almost half a year, and I don't know a lot about you, that's the only thing I'm sure of. ”

Evan sniffed a trace of grievance and a little loss from Audrey's words, his face changed, and he immediately straightened up.

He asked seriously, "Audrey, do you really want to know?"

Audrey and Evan met their gazes, and after a moment of staring at each other, she nodded.

"Listen...... then," Evan said, suddenly pulling Audrey in his arms, and then falling backwards. Audrey was about to struggle subconsciously, and Evan's breathing voice was heard in her ears: "Audrey, don't move!"

Seeing that Evan was just holding and there was no other movement, Audrey followed his wishes, she lay on Evan's chest, slapped him lightly with her right hand, and said angrily: "Don't say it quickly!"

Audrey felt the vibration of Evan's chest, and Evan said while stroking her hair: "Audrey, before I met you, I didn't really think about what I wanted to do in the future......"

"And now?" Audrey looked around carefully, seeing that no one noticed them, and then she continued to endure Evan's "lightness" with peace of mind.

"Now, I have one big goal and two small goals. ”

"Big Goals...... I hope that in the rest of my life, my family and I will be happy and happy. ”

"Two small goals, first, I hope that within five years I will make a million, and second, I hope to form a family with the half of my life under the witness of God. ”

"Who is that half?" Audrey asked softly as her fingers tugged at the buttons on Evan's chest.

"Hehe, who else can ......" Evan smiled and said, "The second small goal has been achieved by a small half, and now she is being held by me, and she can't leave if she wants to!"

"Nonsense, who said I can't go!" Audrey immediately stopped doing it when she heard this, and broke free from Evan's arms with one hand, she propped one hand on the grass, and raised the other hand high to give Evan a good look. saw Evan looking at Audrey with a smile, "Ha, admit it yourself!"

Audrey reacted, and in shame, her hand, which was originally just pretending, slammed heavily on Evan's chest.

"Oh......"

Evan exclaimed in response, exaggeratedly.

Audrey was afraid of breaking someone, so she put her hand on the position where she hit and asked, "Are you okay?"

Evan took the opportunity to grab Audrey's slender hand, pulled her back into his arms, and said with a wicked smile, "It's okay if you don't move." ”

"Hmph!" After struggling for a while, Audrey calmed down and said softly, "It's going to lie!"

The two of them lay on the grass for a long time, until a gust of wind blew and the sketchbook was blown down, and Audrey quickly got up from the ground.

"It's all your fault, you get up, don't affect my painting!"

With a slap on Evan's face, Audrey picked up the pencil again. Evan looked at Audrey's red cheeks and felt smug in his heart.

After a while, Evan asked Audrey, "Just ask me, Audrey, tell me what you want to do in the future?"

"Do you want to be a famous oil painter or a famous ballet star?"

Audrey paused imperceptibly in her hand and replied, "Why are they all well-known, can't they be unknown?"

Evan said with a natural expression: "Then how can it be done, in my eyes, you have first-class potential in both painting and dancing, how can you be unknown." ”

"Audrey, don't underestimate yourself"

"I'm not underestimating myself, but, who can be sure of the future?"

"No, Audrey, you're underestimating yourself!" suddenly a voice interjected, interrupting the conversation between the two.

The man suddenly appeared from behind the two of them, and was more than one meter tall and in his early eights. He came to Audrey, then looked at Evan condescendingly, looked up and down for a while, and said with an unkind face: "Evan is, the first time we met, I was very unhappy to see you, but listening to what you said just now, I won't put it on your face." ”

Evan looked confused when he heard this, who are you?

He was about to get up to confront this strange man, only to hear Audrey next to him exclaim in surprise, "Daddy, why are you here again?"

When Evan heard this, he sat back on the ground in fright.

Yes, it's the old man, no wonder he looks fierce.

Blame myself, why did I forget to ask Jason to take a picture of Audrey and his father for me?

It's okay now, and I was caught off guard.

Evan was sorting out his thoughts, and Audrey was unhappy with her father's appearance. She put down the painting, stood in front of Joseph, frowned, and said, "Daddy, what do you say?"

"Didn't you say I'd find a time to bring Evan to meet you, why didn't you keep your word?"

"Audrey, don't you want to think about how many times you've pushed back since the day you promised me? Joseph showed his majesty as a father and pushed Audrey away and confronted Evan.

"Get out of the way, Audrey, I'm going to have a few words with him. ”

By this time, Evan had already risen from the ground. He looked at Joseph and thought that the other party should not be here to beat the mandarin duck, so he took the initiative to say to Audrey: "Audrey, let me come." ”

When Joseph heard this, he was upset and rebuked: "Hey, boy, don't point fingers at Audrey!"

Audrey glanced at Joseph, who was a little nervous, and was uneasy, but Evan kept giving her a look, signaling that he could handle it. There was no way, Audrey had to step aside. However, she didn't go far, for fear that the two would have a conflict.

"Evan Warren?" Joseph lit a cigarette, pointed the case toward Evan, and asked, "One?"

Evan waved his hand and smiled, "Thank you, I don't smoke!"

"How can you do it if you don't smoke, this is a man's must!" Joseph swallowed, and Evan looked uncomfortable.

Seeing Evan behave like this, Joseph threw the cigarette he had only smoked a few puffs to the ground and stomped it out. He looked at Evan, who was less than a meter away from him, and whispered expressionlessly: "Boy, I don't want to say anything, I only have one request, leave her!

Evan, who had made a mistake in judgment, was stunned for a moment, then his face sank, and he shook his head: "Impossible, Mr. Joseph!"

"Well, you know my name, yes, Audrey will tell you. Joseph said self-righteously, "Don't talk too much, Evan!"

"Once upon a time, I thought Germany couldn't lose, but isn't it being blown up to rubble now?"

"It's different, Mr. Joseph, Germany is crazy, so it loses," Evan said. ”

"Audrey and I are both sane and sober. ”

"I love Audrey, and Audrey loves me!"

"Love, what a sacred word!" Joseph sneered, "How old are you to talk about 'love'?"

"Just because I'm only sixteen physically doesn't mean I'm immature," Evan replied unceremoniously, "Joseph, just as you would be childish at your age." ”

"You ......" was poked in the sore spot, and Joseph's voice increased sharply, "What did you say, Evan ......"

"Daddy?" Audrey suddenly exclaimed, as if sensing something.

This voice calmed Joseph, he looked at Evan and said coldly: "Evan, I don't care where you know this, you don't want to use it to blackmail me." ”

"I never wanted to blackmail you, Mr. Joseph!" said Evan with his hands outstretched, shrugging his shoulders, "I just hope you don't interfere with us casually." ”

Joseph scratched his scalp restlessly, facing this boy who seemed to have a lot of background and full of confidence, he was actually at a disadvantage for a while. After a while, Joseph spoke again: "Well, you win, boy!"

"But do you really think it's good for you to be together?"

Evan sneered: "Does anyone else think this is a bad thing besides you?"

Joseph said angrily: "Yes, boy, if you think it's a good thing that Audrey gave up all the ballet she had been doing for many years because of you, I have nothing to say." ”

"If that's the case, don't think I'll promise to let Audrey stay with you!"

Evan frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Mr. Joseph, what did you say? Audrey gave up ballet?

"Hehe, you don't know?" Joseph sarcastically said, "Is this what you call 'love'?"

After saying this, Joseph shook his head slightly, patted Evan on the shoulder, and said, "Think about it, boy!"

He turned his head and beckoned to Audrey, "Let's go, Audrey, let's go back and let this kid calm down." ”

Audrey walked over to the two of them, and she noticed that something seemed wrong with Evan's face.

"Evan, what's wrong?"

Evan didn't say a word.

Joseph urged, "Audrey, let's go home!"

Audrey glanced at Joseph, shook her head, and said, "No, Daddy, you go back, I won't leave!"

"You!" Joseph was very helpless, and left the park alone with a gloomy face.

"Evan?" After Joseph walked away, Audrey pulled Evan's cuffs and asked, "What's wrong?"

Evan turned around, reached out to take one of Audrey's hands, and pulled her to sit down. The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, fingers interlocked, looking at the sky. The sky in the distance is dotted with a few white clouds, moving slowly.

"Audrey, I ask you something?"

"Just ask......"

Joseph ...... Your father said you gave up dancing for me......"

Before Evan could finish speaking, Audrey interrupted, "Evan, don't listen to my father's nonsense. That's not the way it is. ”

"So what does the truth look like?"

"Hmm...... The truth is, someone recommended that I go to art high school, and I just turned it down. It's not so exaggerated as giving up dance. Audrey said lightly.

"Art High School, that's great, why refuse?" Evan was a little puzzled.

Audrey glanced at Evan and said softly, "That school is in Los Angeles......"

"I see!" Evan nodded, finally understanding why Joseph had treated him so badly.

"Evan, did you quarrel with Joseph?" asked Audrey.

Evan shook his head: "No, it's just that he was questioned by his teacher." ”

He smiled and said, "Who asked me to kidnap his baby!"

"Evan, promise me, don't you quarrel, okay?" Audrey leaned her head on Evan's shoulder and whispered, "Now and in the future." ”

"Hmm...... All I can guarantee is that I won't mess with him. Evan didn't finish his sentence, he moved his shoulder, turned to hold Audrey's hands, and looked at each other, "The premise is that you answer me honestly with both questions." ”

"Audrey, don't you regret giving up on art high school?"

"No!" Audrey shook her head.

"That'...... Do you like ballet?"

"Yes!" Audrey hesitated before nodding.

After receiving the reply, Evan stared at Audrey without blinking, and after a long time, he smiled slightly, let go of the hand he was holding, touched Audrey's head, and said, "Since you like it, then don't give up!"

"As I said, you will either be an oil painter or a well-known dance star in the future, and you have the opportunity to go to an art high school, how can you easily let it go?"

Audrey blinked and asked in a slightly flustered manner, "Evan, what are you talking about?"

"Didn't you listen to me, art high school is in Los Angeles, won't we be separated if we go?"

"That's the question...... Very well solved. Evan smiled, "Pack up your things and come with me!"

With that, Evan pulled Audrey up from the ground.
