The soft white moonlight of the paranoid gangster at 80

At seven o'clock in the morning, a red sun leaps from the horizon, thousands of golden lights shine on the earth, crystal dewdrops roll on the grass blades, and birds chirp on the branches.

A beautiful, quiet morning.

Suddenly, the harsh ringing of the phone broke the tranquility.

Almost as soon as the phone rang, Jiang Chen on the sofa opened his dark eyes and answered the phone faster than his brain could react.

"Hello, sister?"

Ruan Qingqing didn't expect Jiang Chen to answer the call so quickly. She was a little stunned for a moment, but the next second she was worried about the hoarse voice she heard, "Jiang Chen, do you have a cold?"

Jiang Chen also realized that his voice was unpleasant. He glanced at it with black eyes, picked up the unfinished beer on the coffee table and took two swigs.

After drinking, he covered the microphone and tried his best to clear his throat before continuing to speak: "I'm fine, I just woke up."

Hearing that his voice was a little normal, Ruan was relieved, "Did I disturb you?"

"No."

Zhang Chunxi on the side stretched slowly, yawned and put her ear to the microphone, "Let me hear my sister's voice too."

Jiang Chen pushed Zhang Chunxi's head away angrily, but Ruan Qingqing on the other end of the phone felt cordial and happy after hearing Zhang Chunxi's voice.

"Is Chunxi here too?"

"Ah."

Hearing Ruan Qingqing ask about herself on the other end of the phone, Zhang Chunxi leaned over and said, "Sister, I stayed up all night waiting for your call last night!"

After yelling, Jiang Chen quickly ran back to the room before he could get angry.

Jiang Chen glared at Zhang Chunxi's back with a dark face, and said softly to Ruan on the other end of the phone: "Sister, please ignore the fat man."

"Then you didn't sleep all night?"

Jiang Chen's usually calm and handsome face flashed with embarrassment, and his voice sounded guilty like a child who made a mistake when facing his parents, "I took a nap."

After saying that, he quickly changed the subject, "Sister, please don't call me in the morning. It's not safe to go out at night."

This would be seven o'clock in the morning in China, but in country Y it would be around 11 o'clock in the evening.

"I made the call on campus, and the security is pretty good."

"I'm worried about you going out alone at night."

Ruan gently twisted the phone cord with his fingers, "I called you during the day, but you weren't here either."

Jiang Chen's tone softened, "I went to work during the day. Sister, from now on you can call me at 9pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, okay?"

"Monday and Thursday, it's very expensive to call here. It will cost a lot to call three times a week."

Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to say that he didn't have to worry about money, but then he thought that she was alone there now and should keep more money with her, so he could only swallow his words.

"it is good."

"Jiang Chen, I interviewed two tutors today, please help me choose..."

Although he didn't want Ruan Qingqing to find a male tutor in his heart, Jiang Chen still gave him freedom, "Just choose the one you think is suitable."

"Oh."

Looking at the time on the watch, Ruan Qingqing suddenly became anxious, "Let's not talk anymore, I'm hanging up."

"What happened?"

"It's time. If you charge for more than 3 minutes, you will be charged by the second. The most cost-effective time is within 3 minutes. Goodbye!"

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Chen to respond, Ruan hung up the phone gently.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Jiang Chen put down the phone sadly, leaned back on the sofa and stared at the ceiling, sulking.

It's because he is so useless. If he had enough money, his sister wouldn't dare to say a few words because she was worried about the phone bill, let alone choose a male tutor because of the cheap price.

……

Ruan Qingqing decided to take a trial class first before considering whether to choose Kraft or Lucy as a tutor.After the trial class, Ruan Qingqing decided to choose Kraft as a tutor.

Although Kraft is a boy, he is very cultured, and the lecture content is very lively and interesting, and he has learned a lot from other things, which has benefited her a lot.

Moreover, Kraft thoughtfully chose the tuition location in the public study room on campus.

There are many one-to-one tutoring study groups like hers in the study room, which provides a strong learning atmosphere without the embarrassment of being alone.

……

Time slipped away inadvertently, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

The courses in the international class are not stressful. From Monday to Friday, you only need to attend half-day classes every day, and the rest of the time and weekends are devoted to skills and practical exercises.

You can choose a studio or join a project group formed by students.

Under the recommendation of Kraft, Ruan Qingqing interviewed and joined a clothing studio with a good reputation and reputation as a free intern.

The daily work content is very simple: tidy up the designer’s work room and material room.

Although the work content is simple, it is not easy to do it.

When designers are looking for inspiration and creativity, their entire mental state is crazy. Materials, accessories, design drafts, finished coffee cups, and even wine bottles are thrown everywhere. It is simply a high-end garbage dump.

Cleaning these things up and putting them back where they should be every day is an extremely tedious and energy-consuming task.

If you think you can take the opportunity to learn from designers, you are wrong.

It is inevitable that the designers in the studio are talented, but the arrogance and prejudice in their hearts is no less than their own talents.

There is even natural discrimination against middle school students like her.

To what extent?

Ruan Qingqing entered the studio for nearly a week, and none of the designers called her by her name seriously, but instead called her "Chinese."

But Ruan Qingqing was not completely without benefits.

The material room, which is comparable to a collection hall, made it easy for her to complete her first assignment after entering school - collecting fabrics.

This is just one aspect. On the other hand, in the process of completing the homework, she recognized many fabrics that she had even heard of in China and learned about their composition, characteristics and expressiveness, which allowed her to have a better understanding of the design works. Generate more ideas and inspiration.

As her language skills improve, she can also learn about fashion knowledge and information that she otherwise would not have access to through chats with studio staff.

She is like a blank paper, working hard to slowly fill in the blank space with knowledge, making the white paper rich.

……

When Zhou Qing returned to the dormitory, his roommates gathered together and discussed something excitedly.

Seeing her coming back, a roommate said: "Zhou Qing, don't you have a broken pager that you want to repair? I will take you to a place where the repair fee is cheap and you can also see a very handsome man."

Zhou Qing was intrigued by his roommate's comment, "Where is it?"

"It's at the Chengnan Night Market. Every night from 7:10 to [-]:[-], please bring your pager and we'll go now."

Zhou Qing looked at his watch in surprise, "It's only 6 o'clock. Are you going to feed mosquitoes so early?"

"Oh, you don't understand. That repair stall is very popular. Many people line up every night waiting to have things repaired. The repairs are done quickly and well, and the charges are cheap."

When Zhou Qing heard that the fee was cheap, he immediately picked up his pager and went out with his roommate.

When we arrived at the place, sure enough, there were already seven or eight people queuing up. It seemed that they were all students of about the same age as them.

Zhou Qing and his roommate took turns lining up, and the other one could go and sit next to him to rest. He waited until around 7:[-], when the long queue suddenly became commotion.

"Come here! It's him!"

"Wow, he's really handsome! He has a good figure too, maybe he's 1.8 meters tall, right?"

Zhou Qing looked over following the sound and was surprised to see the person walking this way.

Good night:)
