Lance has been taking promotional photos of the new season of the endorsed clothing brand in the past few days, and the photographers are all acquaintances, and they are more happy to work together, and they finish work relatively early every day. Today was one o'clock in the afternoon, and he sat in the rattan chair on the roof of Bertram's house, unconsciously recalling the events of that day in the hotel.

When he went to the toilet, he saw it clearly, the bodyguard standing behind Xu Zitang was carrying a gun, although it was in the United States, where guns are legal, but how could a person like Rhubarb, who talks about smuggling business, let someone who is not his own person carry a gun. can deceive the eyes of so many people and bring the gun inside, he must be professionally trained, this kind of person is willing to be Xu Zitang's bodyguard, so Xu Zitang's status is high, you can imagine.

While thinking about this, Lance completely ignored the fact that Xu Zitang was only 15 years old.

And what happened later that day, it was completely beyond his expectations, he thought he was just going to drink for him, but he didn't expect it, and almost lost his life. It turns out that the real underworld doesn't take the lives of people like them into account at all.

Fortunately, Xu Zitang escaped with him later, and also used acupuncture to help him detoxify. Otherwise, he really doesn't know what to do! After all, he's not the same as a normal person!

“lance！ Is that you? ”

Bertram's voice came from downstairs, and Lance responded as she went downstairs.

"Why are you free today?" Bertram was delighted to meet Lance.

Lance smiled and patted his head, "Call it a day early." ”

"Shall we go eat Korean food?" Bertram was very excited to mention yì, he heard from his classmates that a Korean restaurant was delicious, and he had been wanting to go for a long time, but no one accompanied him.

"Okay, I'll give Lin a call and call her along." Lance said, pulling out his phone.

Bertram frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable, and said softly, "Just the two of us, okay?" ”

Lance was slightly surprised, not knowing why Bertram suddenly said something like this, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I just want to eat alone with you, okay?" Bertram looked at Lance with pegging eyes.

Lance was very sensitive to the change in Bertram's feelings, he used to like Lin very much, why is it suddenly so abnormal today? Could it be that the two of them are having a bad time?

"Okay." Lance hesitated, then agreed. Bertram's illness, he didn't dare to ask him the reason casually, let alone take the risk of saying no.

Lance and Bertram had a great time eating at the Korean restaurant, but he noticed, 'Your brother is so cute,' and Bertram frowned in disgust.

Lance sent Bertram back to his house in the city center, where he rented an apartment near the company for work, and only stayed with Bertram the next day when he didn't have to catch the announcement. Today he needed to think quietly about something, so even though there was no important announcement the next day, he still chose to go back to the city center.

Lance carefully recalled the scene in the restaurant at that time, it was not like the appearance of the second personality T, because the past few times T appeared, he was very irritable and irritable, and of course he was greatly stimulated. I haven't heard anything unhappy about Bertram in the past few days.

Could it be that the condition is serious? The more Lance thought about it, the more uneasy he became, if he was really strict and not stimulated, he would also get sick, so what would he do? Can he give up his job and be with him wholeheartedly? No job, expensive medical bills, and so on?

No, I'm going to take Bertram to the doctor tomorrow. It is important to know as soon as possible whether the condition is serious, Lance planned in his heart.

Lin Qi came to the company very early in the morning, because the patty she brought finally received a decent magazine cover shoot today and was about to enter the studio. She came in advance to determine the venue, and the equipment, as well as some trivial matters, and there must be no mistakes.

After sorting out and checking it, Lin Qi looked at her watch and found that there were still ten minutes, just enough for her to go to the pantry for a coffee and a sandwich.

"Hey, you're so early?" Lin Qi unexpectedly bumped into Lance in the pantry.

"yes, I want to finish it early today. In the afternoon, I went to do some personal business. ”

"What's the matter?" As soon as Lin Qi said this, he wanted to kill himself. Pure blind question!

"I'm sorry, I'm just smooth." Lin Qi immediately apologized, you must know that foreigners attach great importance to personal problems.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, I'm going to take Bertram to the doctor." Lance waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

"He's sick?"

"It's not. Routine check-ups. ”

"Oh."

"Lin, have you been in touch with him again? Or something unpleasant happened? Lance could put her tone down and her tone was sincere, she didn't want Lin Qi to feel that she was questioning something.

"No, I haven't seen him since we last met, he hasn't called me, and I haven't called him."

"Okay."

"What's wrong? Does it have anything to do with me? ”

"Lin, actually," Lance said hesitantly, "Bertram is very nervous. ”

Lin Qi immediately comprehended, remembering what Xu Zitang said before leaving, "I know." ”

"You know?" Lance was surprised.

"Before Xu Zitang left, he talked to me about this matter."

"You didn't ask me." Lance's tone was affirmative. But it's a real question.

"I think it's your private matter, if you don't say it, I shouldn't ask." Lin Qi spread his hands.

"Thank you." Lance was very happy, Lin Qi understood him so well, if she had asked before, their relationship might not have developed at this point, she was now in his heart, and it was the same weight as her family. It's a pity that she can't give her the love she wants!

"I feel like Bertram hasn't been quite right lately." Lance's tone was worried.

"You," Lin Qi tried not to be angry, "you're afraid of what happened to me and Bertram." ”

"No," no matter how you say this, you can't avoid the meaning of suspicion, "I'm just asking casually, I believe you." ”

Lin Qi looked at Lance's contradictory and slightly embarrassed expression, and suddenly chuckled, "I know what you mean, I don't feel bad, I know that you care about Bertram, after all, his situation is not the same as a normal child." ”

"Thank you, Lin." Lance was touched, and at the same time, a feeling of guilt came back to her heart.

Lin Qi smiled and shrugged, "Feel free to come to me if you need anything." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Qi is getting ready to go home from work, patty's shooting today is very smooth, wait for a few days to sign the filming contract for the series, plus the cover of this issue of the magazine, it will appear in the eyes of different groups of people at the same time, it will definitely attract the attention of some bloggers, of course, this is not enough, we must take advantage of the victory to chase after it. She has already helped Patty contact the auditions for four commercials, even if she is not in the C position, she must show her face properly, so that she can frequently appear in the audience's sight in order to circle fans.

Just when Lin Qi was planning the Avenue of Stars for Patty, a familiar phone call came in with no notes.

Lin Qi hesitated for two seconds and picked it up, "Hey, big brother, why are you free to call me?" Since the second year of her trip, when her eldest brother Lin Yuan took over the family company, he has been very busy.

"I'm going to Los Angeles in a few days to talk about a business, and I'll stop by you to see you when the time comes."

Lin Qi almost threw her phone on the ground, but she kept telling her family that she was working as a design assistant in the studio introduced by her mentor! Now that the eldest brother knows, it's all exposed, with his father's temper, he can't pick her skin, and he will never agree to the agent's 'unpopular' work.

"Little Seven?"

"Ah, ah, big brother, when are you arriving? I'll pick you up. ”

"I'll let you know when the time comes, and your second brother will also be with me."

"He's coming too?!"

"What, you don't want him to come?"

"I'm afraid that he will blindly hook up with beautiful women and be arrested by the police."

"That's not right, there is one less person in the family to eat, and one less person to share pocket money with you."

"Hahahahaha, it turns out that big brother you want to throw him in the United States to lighten the burden!"

"Who is the burden, Lin Xiaoqi, you wait for me. Look at me going, don't educate you well! Lin Xuan's shouting voice came from the other end of the phone.

But Lin Qi wanted to cry very much, why? Aren't you happy in your life right now? This sudden realization kept Lin Qi awake all night.

Patty's magazine cover shoot was a success, and the little girl's social network gained tens of thousands of followers overnight, jumping with joy.

"Look, Lin, a lot of people commented on my selfie this morning!"

Patty held up his mobile phone and asked Lin Qi to look at it, Lin Qi smiled reluctantly, unable to lift his spirits.

"What's wrong? lin？ Why are you upset? ”

"It's okay, you're going to join the group tomorrow, and we'll go have a good meal later. After entering the group, you must pay attention to your figure, and you can't eat meat. ”

"Okay!" The little girl of this fighting nation is a pure carnivore, and when she hears that she is going to eat meat, the corners of her mouth can't close when she is happy.

When Lin Qi and Patty were eating, they happened to be sitting by the window, and there was a large poster of Lance on the billboard outside. The slender phoenix eyes, the blue blurred eyes, the thin lips slightly hooked, the fine bangs that were put down at will, and the few tiny spots under the eyelids were not so far away, but Lin Qi felt that she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

“lin？” patty shook Lin Qi in a daze.

"Huh? Have you eaten well? ”

"I'm almost ready to eat, but you haven't eaten yet."

"Oh, I don't have much of an appetite today, maybe it's too hot."

"Oh, then you can drink some juice."

Lin Qi took the juice handed by Patty, took a few sips, and calmed down.

After eating, Lin Qi sent Patty back to her residence and called Lance to make sure they had returned from the doctor. Then I drove to a nearby supermarket and bought the ingredients needed for the dishes that the two of them loved to eat.

When Lin Qi entered Bertram's house with two large bags of things, the two of them were in full swing in the living room, and Lin Qi said hello and entered the kitchen. Lin Qi was cooking while secretly cheering up, Lin Qi You can do it, happiness is to be fought for by yourself, last time in a hurry, Lance must have been a little scared. It's definitely okay today!! Come on!!!

After dinner, Bertram received a call from his supervisor and went to the study to revise his thesis. After Lin Qi finished washing the dishes, he felt that it was a good time, although Bertram was a child, he was still a little embarrassed to confess in front of others.

"Lance, let's go sit on the rooftop, I have something to tell you." Lin Qi's palms were sweating.

"Okay, I have something to tell you."

The two of them came to the rooftop, and they didn't know how to speak for a while, Lin Qi and Lance sat side by side on the rattan chairs.

Lin Qi turned his head to the other side and secretly took a deep breath.

"Lance, I confessed to you on the show before, not on a whim, nor on impulse. From the first time I saw you at Mr. Brown's fashion show, I knew it was him. I didn't hesitate to choose to change departments, and I rushed up desperately, all in order to have more contact with you. Do you remember the first time we talked in the pantry? Actually, I was so nervous that time, my composure was all pretended, and I almost went up and hugged you. ”

Lin Qi took a long breath, "Actually, that confession at the show was because a good friend of mine gave me confidence, she fell out of love, and she told me that love is not right or wrong, regardless of identity and any reason. Later, someone told me that you should be brave enough to pursue it when you are young. That's why I mustered up the courage to confess to you, otherwise as my little assistant at that time, I wouldn't have thought of confessing to you at all. ”

Lance listened quietly to Lin Qi's narration.

"I didn't expect that day, you were in a hurry, so you rejected me so quickly."

"However, I don't want to give up, I have fantasized about countless scenarios of our life together. There are happy and sad ones, but in the end they are all happy, and I want to make them all true. ”

"Lance, I like you, love it. Every time you win a prize, I cheer with you in front of the computer. Every time you say something to me, I go home and lie in bed, reminiscing over and over again. I was so happy when I knew a habit of yours, a little secret. I tell myself that I'm different from other fans who like you. ”

"Especially, that time in the hospital, you didn't say something like a warning to me, but chose to believe me. I am even more determined to bear all the faith with you. Including bertram, no matter what happens to him in the future? I'm willing to accompany him with you! ”

Lance was silent, what she said today, he never knew, her feelings for him began so early, and it started without warning, without hesitation.

What made Lance even more uncomfortable was that what he was going to say today was even more difficult to say after she said this. What should he do?

In the silent silence of Lin Qi and Lance, no one noticed that at the staircase leading to the rooftop on the second floor, Bertram's eyes flickered, he lowered his head and stood there stiffly, and after a while, he quietly walked back to the study.
