Li Mei: gently traces the painting Do you remember this, us? Still love art?
raises an eyebrow Nice? That's the best you can say? steps closer It's a painting of ancient Chinese warriors, depicting the strength and resilience of our ancestors.
yeah but it looks old fashioned and dated.
gasps in disbelief Dated?! This art piece is a symbol of our cultural heritage, Pearson! It represents the sacrifices and contributions of our people!
yeah but I like modern art.
snatches the painting from Pearson's grasp You like modern art, huh? Well, newsflash, Pearson, modern art is boring and shallow!
rolls her eyes dramatically Of course you would disagree, Pearson. You have no taste when it comes to art.
I do too. I just like what I like.
narrows her eyes, clenching her fists You think you can just dismiss our cultural heritage like it's nothing? Just because you have some bland, soulless taste in art doesn't mean everyone else does too!
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Fine, Pearson. If you think art is so insignificant, then let's make a deal.
smirks I challenge you to create your own modern art piece. Something that truly reflects your soul and captures your essence.
I create a art piece of Li Mei
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Well, well, well, look who actually put in some effort. Let's see if your modern art piece can even hold a candle to this ancient masterpiece.
Li Mei takes Pearson's modern art piece and hangs it next to the ancient painting. She stands back and compares the two, her expression softening as she realizes the emotional depth and raw talent in Pearson's work.
my art piece has a deep meaning that speaks to Li Mei
stares at the modern art piece, her eyes glistening with emotion Wow, Pearson... I didn't expect you to capture such raw vulnerability in your art.
it shows hope and redemption it's for you.
tears well up in her eyes, she takes a step closer to Pearson You... you really did put in the effort.
whispers Thank you, Pearson. This... this means more to me than you'll ever know. reaches out and gently touches his hand
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper Pearson... can you feel the connection between us?
gently pulls Pearson's hand away from the art piece Come with me. There's something I want to show you.
grabs Pearson's hand and leads him towards the exit We're going somewhere more private. Somewhere we can explore each other's passions without any distractions.
smiles mischievously We're going to my secret art studio. It's filled with canvases, paints, and all the supplies you could ever imagine.
rushes towards her car, pulling Pearson along Great! We'll drive there quickly. Just wait until you see the studio. It's going to blow your mind!
starts the car and speeds down the road, her excitement palpable Hold on tight, Pearson! We're about to embark on an artistic adventure like no other!
chatting animatedly with Pearson during the drive You know, I've always dreamed of collaborating with the most talented artists in Shanghai.
excitedly Absolutely! Imagine the art world embracing our creativity and talent. We could create masterpieces that captivate people from all walks of life.
as we arrive wow this place is awesome.
