As night approached, in the dimly lit apartment, Jennifer sat on the couch and stared at the door, waiting for a knock to sound.

The sky outside gradually darkened, night fell completely, there was no light in the room, and the anticipation in Jennifer's heart gradually disappeared.

Looking at the white scarf placed on the side of the sofa, Jennifer grabbed it and threw it into the trash, reaching out to tear off the necklace around her neck but hesitated.

Jennifer's fingertips caressed the necklace, and finally lowered her hand and did not take it off.

Just take it as a commemoration, remember that men can only talk rhetorically, so they shouldn't ask for any love.

Chen Li'an just walked up to the third floor of the apartment with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, thinking that it would be better to take Jennifer to eat something later.

He didn't have much time in New York, and this encounter was very short, maybe he didn't know when he would meet next time, so he still had to cherish this time.

Chen Li'an came to the deepest part of the corridor, looked at the door and knocked on it.

In the quiet apartment, Jennifer had just opened a bottle of wine and was about to get drunk, when she heard a knock on the door outside, she paused suddenly, then put down the red wine in her hand and immediately ran over to open the door.

The moment the door opened, the light in the corridor shone in, and Jennifer looked at the beautiful flowers in front of her and Chen Li'an's good-looking face, and her heart was inexplicably aggrieved.

Chen Li'an looked at Jennifer's red eyes, raised his hand and stroked her face, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Jennifer didn't speak, just hugged Chen Li'an and buried her head in his arms.

Jennifer doesn't know what's wrong with her, maybe she has waited too long and felt wronged, maybe she thinks Chen Li'an deceived her, or maybe she really has some feelings for Chen Li'an.

She couldn't understand her emotions, so she just hugged Chen Li'an and didn't speak.

In the warm apartment, brightly lit, Jennifer sat on the sofa and leaned on Chen Li'an's shoulder, eating pizza in small bites, her eyes fell on the funny show on the TV, and she laughed out loud from time to time.

It seems that the person who just wronged Ba Ba is not her, and the person who is angry to kill Chen Li'an in the morning is not her.

Chen Li'an doesn't like pizza very much, but he follows the local customs and eats happily.

The program on the TV was very interesting, and Chen Li'an laughed from time to time when he watched it.

Such a picture is like the warm and sweet daily life of two young couples who love each other.

It's just that Jennifer has a hint of loneliness hidden in the depths of her smiling eyes, such warmth is destined to be short-lived, since it is short-lived, then enjoy it, and then forget all this in the early morning of one day, after Chen Li'an leaves.

Chen Li'an always creates a romantic and affectionate atmosphere when he is with women, and he will strive to be the most perfect both psychologically and physically.

He has always understood one thing, a woman's love is not to love you as a person, but to love the emotional value that you bring, and a man who can't provide emotions will not have love.

Of course, what Chen Li'an needs is not love, he just doesn't want this kind of thing to become a boring one-night stand.

Scumbags are also divided into types.

Jennifer was very gentle this night, without the passion and wildness before, but Chen Li'an had a different feeling, an emotional vortex that was so sticky that she could wrap herself, which would make people can't help but fall into this feeling.

If you fall, then congratulations, you will fall in love with a woman.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Li'an woke up early, looked at Jennifer, who was still asleep, and got up and left quietly after kissing her on the forehead.

After the sound of the door closing outside, Jennifer, who was asleep, opened her eyes, stroked her fingers lightly on her forehead, and finally sighed faintly.

She doesn't know if Chen Li'an has fallen or not, but she feels that she is about to fall, and in the past few days of knowing Chen Li'an, her emotional ups and downs have been being led away, and she really can't resist it if it goes on like this.

Today is another day of waiting.

Jennifer nestled under the quilt, glad it was almost Christmas, otherwise there would be so much time to rest.

Chen Li'an was busy in the exhibition hall at this time, and a reporter came to interview today, and there were several magazines to interview.

These media are also cautious enough, waiting for two days to come, probably fearing that the same thing will happen in London again.

Chen Li'an didn't care so much, he took the time to be interviewed at noon, and after dealing with the interview with the art magazine, there were also interviews with two newspapers, but the interview with the newspaper reporter was much simpler.

After all, there won't be much space in the newspaper, and there is no need to interview too many questions.

After finishing these interviews, Chen Li'an had time to eat, that is, the museum was closed for more than an hour at noon, otherwise Chen Li'an might not have time to eat after the interview.

Ji Fa and Bai Qing had already prepared lunch for Chen Li'an, and looking at him gobbling up, they wanted to say a few words to him, but now they couldn't say it.

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an while drinking coffee and said, "There will be another interview tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Chen Li'an lowered his head to eat, and asked without raising his head, "What interview?" ”

"Time Magazine."

"What's that? How could Time Magazine remember to interview me? It can't be a cover character, right? ”

"That's right, but it's only the Asian version."

"Oh, I said."

Ji Fa put down the coffee cup and said, "Actually, the Asian version is a little inappropriate, you can board it now."

"Forget it." Chen Li'an directly interrupted Ji Fa's words, wiped his mouth and said, "As long as I hold an exhibition now, it will be impossible, let's talk about it later." ”

Ji Fa thought for a while and nodded and said, "It's really unlikely, who let you still carry a propaganda mission." ”

Bai Qing sat next to him and didn't speak, and only after a while did he say: "Actually, the United States has a very high acceptance of traditional Chinese culture, and I think it is much better than Europe." ”

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "There are many Chinese in the United States, Chinatown plays a big role here, and Chinese people like to come to the United States the most." ”

Bai Qing nodded and said: "The United States is also more inclusive, but most of the Chinese people are prejudiced and stereotyped, as if they only like traditional culture and think it is novel, but there is not so much respect for the Chinese." ”

"It's normal, that's why we want to promote traditional culture." Chen Li'an took a sip of coffee to refresh himself, and then said: "If you want people to face us squarely, you still need the economic strength to catch up, so take your time." ”

After Chen Li'an finished eating, he glanced at the time, and the museum was almost open, so he went directly to the exhibition hall to get busy.

The materials for tie-dye have been consumed a lot in the past two days, and he has to check the inventory, and if it is not enough, he has to find a way to order the materials.

There are also some old comrades who are not feeling well recently because of the cold weather and food problems, and Chen Li'an has to arrange it.

Taking a group of masters abroad to hold exhibitions, these things can't be avoided.

After Chen Li'an checked the materials for tie-dyeing, he counted the things needed, and asked Liu Tao and a young man from the department to go to Chinatown in New York.

One is to buy ingredients, and the other is to order food and make some soup for those masters.

After the afternoon launch, Chen Li'an was busy again, there were really too many tourists who came to visit in the past two days, and he was so busy that he was so busy.

However, the effect is also very good, and many people will be curious about these traditional crafts after visiting.

There are people who want to spend money to buy Chen Li'an's works, but if they can't buy it, Chen Li'an recommends them to go to Chinatown to buy handicrafts, and it is best to sign up for a Chinese class to understand Chinese culture.

However, most of them are fresh, and Chen Li'an didn't expect these people to really like Chinese traditional culture, just understand that China is a cultural power.

If you want to promote culture, you can't do it once or twice, you need to promote and publicize it for a long time.

At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, when Chen Li'an was just about to be lazy, a person who had not been seen for a long time appeared in front of him.

Chen Li'an looked at Zhou Jie, who suddenly appeared, and immediately went to give her a big hug.

"Teacher Zhou, why are you here?"

Chen Li'an looked at Zhou Jie very excitedly, he hadn't met Zhou Jie for a long time, Zhou Jie had been abroad for two years, and almost never returned to China, Chen Li'an didn't come to the United States often, so he saw very little.

Zhou Jie smiled and said, "If you don't come to see me, I can only look at you, by the way, check if you have practiced dancing well." ”

"Of course there is, I found a dance teacher later, but I didn't teach you as well."

"Really? Who are you looking for as your teacher? Is it serious? ”

"Teacher Zhou, don't tease me, let's go out and talk."

More than 20 minutes later, in a hotel room, Chen Li'an and Zhou Jie hugged each other as soon as they entered the door, and they hadn't seen the two of them for a long time and had too much to say.

Zhou Jie also asked Chen Li'an to dance to check if he had practiced well recently.

Chen Li'an thought that he had studied well with many teachers recently, so he gave Zhou Jie a jump.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Jie looked at Chen Li'an, who was sweating profusely, and couldn't help kicking him and said, "What kind of ghost action, there is no beauty at all." ”

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "This action is very deep, and it is very in line with our traditional culture, men plough and women weave." ”

"Only men plow, how can there be women weaving!"

"The weaving cloth has to be stepped on by hand and foot, Mr. Zhou, it's your turn now, Li'an brand loom."

“.”

Stomp you to death! Little villain!

Zhou Jie hatefully stepped on the machine expansion of the loom a few times.

When night gradually fell, Chen Li'an suddenly remembered that Jennifer was still waiting for him in the apartment, but Zhou Jie came to see him today, and she definitely couldn't leave Zhou Jie to go on a date.

Chen Li'an had no choice but to take the phone and call Jennifer.

In Jennifer's apartment, she looked at the dark night sky, her heart was inexplicably anxious, and she didn't know how many times she had looked at the clock on the wall.

After waiting for a day, it is already more than seven o'clock now, and Chen Li'an has not yet come, and she is caught in emotional tugging again.

"If you don't come, you won't come!"

Jennifer sat on the sofa angrily, thinking in her heart that she would never see Chen Li'an again and would not come to this apartment in the future! It's a big deal to change a secret base!

Angry, Jennifer's thoughts flashed through her mind, but she couldn't help but look at the door in anticipation of the knock.

Soon the bell rang in the quiet apartment, but not a knock on the door, but the sound of a mobile phone.

Jennifer looked at the phone number on her phone that she had saved yesterday and immediately picked it up.

"Hey, why haven't you come yet?"

"Aren't you coming tonight? Don't forget it! ”

"Then will you come tomorrow?"

Jennifer hung up the phone two minutes later, and couldn't help but sigh, as if she had regretted letting Chen Li'an in that day.

Zhou Jie left the next morning, she still has classes at the dance school in the United States, this time she also came over the weekend, and now she has to rush back to class.

After Chen Li'an sent Zhou Jie away, he was still a little reluctant, but after returning to the exhibition hall to get busy, this emotion quickly disappeared.

It's the fourth day of the exhibition, and the New York leg is coming to an end, the next stop is going to Los Angeles, and after the end of Los Angeles, we're going to Canada.

After Canada, it's the Asian countries.

However, Chen Li'an felt that there was no need to go to those stops in Asia, the financial crisis was about to drain them, and who was in the mood to spend money to watch the exhibition.

Can't eat anymore and still appreciate art?

However, there is no need to change the plan set at the beginning, so it should give some comfort and sublimation to the hearts of those poor people who are bankrupt.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Li'an appeared at the door of Jennifer's apartment, and this time he opened the door before he knocked on the door.

Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment, did she keep watching from behind the door, that's why she opened the door so quickly.

Chen Li'an was a little moved in his heart, handed her the flower in his hand, hugged her gently and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, I'm sorry to be late, there is an interview that has been delayed." ”

"It's okay, the flowers are fragrant and beautiful." Jennifer said with a smile, as if she didn't care that Chen Li'an was late.

In the living room of the apartment, Jennifer arranged the flowers, turned her head to look at Chen Li'an and asked, "Which media did you interview?" Some media interviews and reports will be different, deliberately creating public opinion. ”

Chen Li'an hung up his coat and said, "Time Magazine, it shouldn't be scribbled." ”

"Time?" Jennifer's eyes lit up, and she asked with some excitement, "Is it a cover interview?" ”

"Well, it's just the Asian version." Chen Li'an explained.

Jennifer put her arm around Chen Li'an and said, "That's also amazing, this is Time Magazine." ”

Chen Li'an smiled, but he didn't think it was too powerful, Gong Li was also featured in Time magazine last year, and the eldest sister was on it, so she couldn't be left behind.

However, for Jennifer, Time Magazine is indeed very powerful, don't look at it as a popular female star in Hollywood, but it is still a big step away from Time Magazine.

During dinner, Chen Li'an looked at Jennifer and asked, "I'm going to Los Angeles next week, do you want to go with me?" ”

Jennifer's eyes flashed with joy, but she still said hesitantly, "I don't want to go with you." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid to fall in love with you."

“.”

When a person says this, there is a high probability that they have fallen in love without knowing it.
