"We've never met before, why do you think I'm a superior person?"
Eddie smiled and said, "Miss, you are not a professional painter, but you can create such beautiful works. This shows that you are both talented and beautiful."
"Thanks."
"I was telling the truth."
Eddie is a gentleman. He just stood there quietly watching Ji Zhinan create, without any hesitation.
Until Ji Zhinan finished painting, Eddie's eyes sparkled and he applauded.
"Perfect! This is absolutely perfect."
"Miss, your painting style is very similar to that of a painter I like. In the past, I just liked Chinese culture, but I was too busy to spend time there. It wasn't until I saw her paintings more than half a year ago that I made up my mind to fly to China and witness its beauty with my own eyes."
When talking about his favorite painter, the excitement on Eddie's face did not diminish when he talked about his uncle.
"She's a little-known painter in your country. So far, only two of her works have been circulated, one of which is in my uncle's collection. My uncle said she's a young person with great potential. Although her paintings aren't worth much now, as time goes by, sooner or later her works will become priceless!"
"I also believe in her ability. For a painter like my uncle to be so optimistic about her, her future is promising."
Ji Zhinan smiled but said nothing.
Taking out a pen from the bag, Ji Zhinan wrote an English word in the corner of the painting.
south.
Turning around, he saw Eddie staring at his painting.
She asked, "Do you like it?"
"Yes," Eddie admitted with a nod. "I just told you that the artist my uncle and I both admired only had two works, one of which was 'Sea of Stars,' which was themed on the ocean. I put a lot of thought into acquiring it, but in the end, it was bought by a noble lady from North America. It's been a long-standing regret for me."
"So when I came to China this time, the first place I thought of was H City. I heard that the beach in H City is the most beautiful in China."
Ji Zhinan thought about it, took the painting off the drawing board and gave it to him.
Eddie looked surprised: "Miss?"
"Since you like it, I'll give it to you, as long as Mr. Eddie doesn't mind that my painting is ugly."
"But this is something that Miss worked so hard to draw..."
"It's okay. I just drew this when I was inspired by the sea. If you like it, take it."
Eddie quickly took the painting and carefully said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
His eyes fell on Ji Zhinan's signature: "South, South?"
Ji Zhinan looked at him: "Is there any problem?"
"Nothing." Eddie put the painting away and smiled. "It just seems like a coincidence, because the painter I like also has the character 'Nan' in his name."
"Really?" Ji Zhinan curled his lips.
"yes."
Although I have only known Mr. Eddie for a short time, my first impression of him is quite good.
Remembering his own rudeness just now, Ji Zhinan took the initiative to extend his hand: "I was a little rude just now. Knowing each other is fate. Hello Mr. Eddie, my name is Ji Zhinan, please give me your guidance."
“…”
Eddie didn't shake hands with her, but looked at Ji Zhinan in shock.
Ji Zhinan frowned, not understanding what he had said wrong and why he was looking at him like that.
After a long while, Eddie spoke slowly, word by word: "You mean, your name is... Zhinan?"
