because i'm pretty

Li Yikai's relationship history is very simple - he never fell in love early because of his sexual orientation in adolescence, and he has rejected countless suitors for various reasons after college.

In all fairness, he never felt that he had ever done something like "flirt and run". At best, he was cautious and responsible for his feelings, which caused some unnecessary misunderstandings. But as he grew older and reflected on this stain, he also gradually Admitting that being overly cautious at times may not be a good habit in love.

But as for Yuan Zhiming... I don't blame him for taking his time.Two people don't even count as familiarity now. They always have to go through the process of getting to know each other, getting to know each other's preferences, and judging the three views before making such an important decision.

Before making a plan, he was familiar with market research, and falling in love is similar.

So far, Director Li has come to a not very important result - Yuan Zhiming is really generous.

"Oh, really, how can Yuan Zhiming pay the bill?" Zhou Xing said.

After chatting on the phone, they found out that both of them thought that they paid for each other last night, and Zhou Xing's colleagues in the studio were used to the boss's treats, and generally would not take the initiative to pay the bill - then only Yuan Zhi was left. Ming, and he kept saying that he wanted to treat guests.

Zhou Xing analyzed optimistically: "Yesterday he only went after hearing that you were going, toasted you and sent you home. I think his attitude towards you is also different."

Li Yikai didn't quite trust his love education.

Zhou Xing said again: "Think about it, he didn't give him much compensation for this project. It's really a human relationship, and I wouldn't be so grateful to you. Yes, I even gave you wine before."

Li Yikai said modestly: "Maybe he was educated well, and he is not short of money."

"Who will do this kind of work if there is no shortage of money? Not famous and tiring," Zhou Xing muttered.

Li Yikai couldn't figure it out either.

After hanging up the phone, I just received a WeChat message from Yuan Zhiming, which was a link to an article recommending cat food. He wanted Li Yikai to ask the doctor which one was better, and he would pay for the ration.

Click on it and see that each one is expensive, several times more expensive than what Li Yikai bought at the pet hospital.

Li Yikai didn't ask any more questions, and directly forwarded the link to the doctor, but he thought to himself——the second question for user research must be what is Yuan Zhiming's economic condition.

Li Yikai couldn't understand such a waste of his own value when he was clearly able to concentrate on creating art, but he was always busy making money.

It was another weekend with no spare time. Li Yikai completed all the parts for the bridge before 8:[-] p.m. on Sunday, saying that he was not very proficient and not humble. I almost forgot that it took two and a half hours longer than I expected.

When Li Yikai arrived at the company on Monday morning, the coffee and cake were already in place, needless to say, they were also delivered by Daqiao.

Sun Shanshan smiled and said: "In the morning, we saw that Lao Liu's eye circles are dark, and Daqiao is relieved and guilty, and I admire him very much, saying that you are not old when you are a treasured sword."

Li Yikai made a rare statement: "I haven't been designing for more than two years."

"That's right, I'll say it," Sun Shanshan immediately cheered, "When you were a designer, you were more efficient than everyone else."

"Have you seen it?" Li Yikai asked.

"I've heard of it," Sun Shanshan said firmly, seeing Qin Xiaoen approaching, she quickly stopped the topic.

Qin Xiaoen pretended not to notice, held the iPad and put it in front of Li Yikai: "I found a few more graffiti styles, let me show you."

Li Yikai asked: "Take the initiative to work overtime?"

"I can't stop thinking about it," Qin Xiaoen said.

Sun Shanshan watched the two workaholics, silently retreated to her work station, and chose to complain in the WeChat group.

Qin Xiaoen swiped to switch software and pictures: "I overlooked a problem on Friday. Although graffiti is pioneering, its acceptance in China is limited, so it should not be too negative or critical."

Li Yikai agreed: "Well, it is impossible to bring a Basquiat here."

"Yes, so I tried elements like sunflowers, but you can see it when you put it up." He opened the panorama and held up the iPad to zoom out.

"It's too earthy", Li Yikai immediately understood.

The exterior of the building does not exist alone. An old city is surrounded by old-fashioned buildings with dark tones, and there are some brightly colored signs and billboards. In such a background, a graffiti that relies heavily on color contrast cannot be highlighted. On the contrary, it is exactly the same as those billboards, showing a colorful rustic atmosphere.

"Yeah, among the existing styles, I haven't found one that can be integrated. Not only graffiti, but also any other decoration methods have similar effects. Forcibly turning myself into an art and fashion center, but without considering the environment," Qin Xiaoen leaned on Said on the back of the chair.

Li Yikai squinted his eyes at the picture and didn't speak.

Qin Xiaoen bit his finger and said, "Hey, are you too stuck in the building?"

"The architecture can't be done, the interior and brand vision are all castles in the air," Li Yikai said, and he called up the panoramic view of the shopping mall he just got from his computer, and said to Qin Xiaoen: "The whole building packaging may indeed not be feasible, and then study and study The surrounding environment, I think there may be some blind spots, or we will go to see it later.”

"Have you got an idea?" Qin Xiaoen asked.

"Yes", Li Yikai did not deny it. In fact, he had already walked around the Hongda shopping mall last night. "But it's not very formed. I think you should have a better idea after watching the three-dimensional. Let's meet again tomorrow."

Qin Xiaoen nodded in agreement, and when he put away the iPad, he remembered: "The portfolio you sent me last time, what Ming, do you still have contact?"

"What's wrong?" Li Yikai raised his head and asked.

"I just thought, if you really do original graffiti, you may really have to look for it among the artists. Commercial design has limitations."

"You said no," Li Yikai said, "and the thinking is inconsistent, and you can't find a suitable graffiti project for him."

"How did you think about the future?" Qin Xiaoen was a little confused, "Isn't this kind of project cooperation?"

Li Yikai froze, thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it later, I'll ask again."

Of course he doesn't mind working with Yuan Zhiming, if there is a suitable project;

It's just that now he can't be an objective employer no matter what. Whether Yuan Zhiming is suitable and needs a time-consuming job has to be included in his judgment conditions.

Yuan Zhiming opened a bottle of mineral water with paint-stained hands without hesitation and poured it down, and then admired the wall in front of him from a distance. On the bright yellow background, sunflowers of various colors were in full bloom. The heads of the sunflowers are all pointing in the same direction, and an arrow marks that direction called "future".

After listening to the protagonist told by the director—the story of using music to heal himself after being terminally ill, he had such a picture in his mind.

He wiped his hands on the apron twice to confirm that the paint would no longer stick, he took out his mobile phone and took a picture and sent it to Yuan Songqing.

Rising star: "Draw a new side of graffiti"

Yuan Songqing replied: "Why did you go to paint graffiti again? Didn't the city management arrest you?"

Yuan Zhiming laughed: "The urban management was shocked by my talent." "Actually, I helped a friend make a movie set."

Yuan Songqing asked, "Really? What movie? When will it be released?"

Yuan Zhiming thought for a while, maybe when it was screened, his name would only be in the back row of the props group, a small one.

But still very fulfilling, he replied the name of the movie - "Please pay attention when the time comes".

"Who is so happy to chat with?" Zhou Xing suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yuan Zhiming was still holding the phone in his hand, looked up and said, "It's been a long time since I drew such a big one, let's take a photo and share it."

Zhou Xing deliberately asked: "Girlfriend?"

Yuan Zhiming immediately shook his head and said no, and did not disclose any extra information.

Zhou Xing was anxious, so he opened a bottle of water and drank while pretending not to care, and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

After finishing speaking, he added deliberately but politely: "Oh, or a boyfriend."

Yuan Zhiming didn't know if he was joking or what, and said, "I'm a bachelor."

That's enough, Zhou Xing sent Li Yikai a WeChat message in satisfaction.

Yuan Zhiming looked at the corner of the other party's mouth that suddenly rose, thought about the familiar conversation, and couldn't help but guess...

He was used to some things, and he didn't waste time thinking about them too much, but this time when he thought of another person, he couldn't help but feel a little more unfounded.

With that in mind, he also sent the photo to that person.

Rising Stars: "Just Finished a Wall" "Pictures"

In the past two days, because of the cat, the conversation between the two suddenly increased. Yuan Zhiming can get close to anyone quickly, and there is no need for politeness anymore.

Li Yikai's reply was as simple as ever: "Great, congratulations."

Maybe it's work, Yuan Zhiming thought, and started to put down the water bottle and pack his backpack.

But then, Li Yikai replied: "I finished work today? Then, do you want to go to the pet hospital together at night?"

So Yuan Zhiming laughed again: "Okay, I'm done now, I can go there anytime"

Li Yikai: "Well, I'm off work too. Are you driving? I should be 10 minutes later than you"

Yuan Zhiming replied: "I'm on the subway, I might be the one who is late haha."

After a while, Yuan Zhiming had already put on his bag and was saying goodbye to the others one by one.

Li Yikai's message just came: "Then wait a minute, I'll pick you up."
