Duncan Apartments.
late at night.
"Holy**!"
MAX used his hands and feet together, pushed Adam away with all his strength, and shouted, "I was talking to you for fun. You really don't think of me as a human?"
"I'm an honest person."
Adam received his magical powers, lay down beside him, and said with a smile: "What you say is naturally what you say, and you are determined not to compromise."
"Livestock!"
MAX’s previous move due to Adam’s appreciative gaze was completely gone, and he bitterly scolded: “As you are, it seems that you are going to join Mormonism in the future. Otherwise, whoever marries you will suffer and it’s too perverted. Up."
Mormonism is a sect in the United States, which advocates polygamy and all kinds of chaos, which is very similar to a cult.
"Not interested in."
Adam said lazily: "That is the evil way, not the right way."
"Are you not an evil way?"
MAX said poisonously: "I think you like to go the evil way best!"
"Ha ha."
Adam smiled and didn't answer, but changed the subject and said: "MAX, how did you think about the university study that I told you last time?"
"not so good."
Max said unhappy.
When she said this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
It is her dream to be a painter of children's books in the future.
But for her, the reason why a dream is a dream is because it is far away.
She deliberately went to a community college to study painting for this reason. She wanted to feel her dream and get closer to her dream.
But to be honest, she never thought of actually contacting her dream, or wishing to realize it.
She even felt an inexplicable sense of panic when she thought of striding closer to her dream.
"Let's talk about it."
Adam looked at her sideways: "What are you worried about?"
"I worry a lot."
MAX, as always, is the first to speak in a yellow tone: "Your brother is ranked first."
"is it?"
Adam smiled and said, "Hurry up and explain, or your worries will become reality."
MAX rolled his eyes, was silent for a moment, and laughed at himself: "Perhaps I am just timid. When everything is going well, I feel particularly unreal. I always feel that when I wake up tomorrow, something will appear to me. Unexpected changes, these changes are never good."
"I understand."
Adam nodded.
This is also a stress mechanism, which is a kind of self-protection.
Don't think about good things. When bad things happen, you won't be disappointed or even desperate.
"Then what do you think is what happened when you met me?"
Adam smiled and said, "Good or bad?"
"Half and half."
MAX vomited: "The bed is good, but the bed is bad."
"..."
Adam was speechless, and understood that he was a bit wanton with MAX, but he couldn't be blamed entirely on him. Who made her provoke him with a yellow accent.
Like tonight, she took the initiative to ask Adam to be free, and she could do it.
What can Adam do?
Naturally it is really random.
"Everyone will not be lucky forever, and everyone will not be lucky forever."
Adam hugged MAX and poured into the soul chicken soup: "Perhaps you were unlucky before, but I have a feeling that from now on, you are lucky."
"Because I met you?"
MAX laughed.
"Correct."
Adam seriously said: "Maybe I am your lucky star, what do you think?"
"Lucky Star."
MAX muttered, put his face on Adam’s chest, and smiled noncommittal: "Perhaps."
"So."
Adam returns to the subject: "Do you have any concerns? You can talk to me."
"Tuition."
Not able to endure Adam’s enthusiasm, MAX also began to confess some of his inner thoughts: “The tuition fees of community colleges are already so high, let alone a formal university. The key is that even if you can go to college smoothly, you may not be able to find a suitable job. , Are there fewer painters?"
The tuition fees of community colleges are relative.
Compared with regular universities, the tuition fees of community colleges are naturally very low.
But for people like MAX who go to school and work as a waiter, the tuition is still too high.
If going to a community college is to pay for her dream, MAX can still barely consume the extravagance, but the cost of going to a regular college is beyond her tolerance.
In addition, the employment problem after going to university is also a big problem.
This kind of literary and artistic specialty is itself a typical example of unemployment upon graduation.
Most graduates can't find a job in their major at all, and can only change careers, which greatly wastes the professional skills they have spent heavily on.
Although MAX is only 19 years old, he has long known that life is difficult. Naturally, he would not be naive to think that all down-and-out painters are all unlucky.
After all, being talented is just like being pregnant. After a long time, it will always be exposed.
And the general loss is obviously not explained by the lack of talents at all, but the limited capacity of the industry is not enough to support too many people to follow this path.
In this case, she who is not confident will not have the illusion that she will definitely become the small group of success, and how can she not retreat.
"So, you are lucky to meet me."
Adam smiled and said: "Tuition and employment are not a problem, and the two are actually a problem. The reason why you are worried is because you don’t have the confidence to find a suitable job with the knowledge you have learned to pay off your school loan, right? ?"
"It's not obvious."
MAX vomits.
"Then what if I helped you book your work in advance?"
Adam had already thought about this problem and said with confidence: "You only need to go to university to study and improve skills. Once you graduate, a relevant professional and well-paid job is waiting for you. Are you still worried?"
"What job?"
MAX is a little excited.
"The draftsman of children's books."
Adam smiled and said, "Isn't this the job you dream of?"
"Really?"
MAX exclaimed, then after thinking of something, his emotions went down again, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it, you must beg for it? Or don't it."
"It's better to ask yourself Adam smiled: "You know I'm a writer, right? I have an inspiration. If I want to achieve it, I need the help of a painter. Then I will produce a text plot, and you are responsible for drawing it. We will work together to create a boutique children's book. How about? "
"I have done this, the new tricks are really gone, you don't need to coax me anymore."
MAX disbelieves: "I am really inspired. Wouldn't you find someone else to paint? Those people are better than me, and they can be recruited now. Why wait for me after I graduate from college."
"First of all, this is just an inspiration. Good works need time to polish, and two years are just right. Secondly, hiring people for help is also to be loyal. I believe you more."
Adam spoke serious nonsense: "Of course, I don't deny that I want to help you. This is not a contradiction. We are good friends. It's not normal to help you as much as we can."
"This is no longer the help of friends."
MAX pushed away Adam’s hand and stood up to look at Adam: "Do you want to be my sugar daddy?"
