After boarding the plane and sitting down, Xiao Yao's seat happened to be by the window, and he looked out of the porthole of the plane at will, and Xiao Yao happened to see the scene of several porters carrying the passengers' checked luggage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Xiao Yao didn't see the scene of "let the luggage fly" again this time, these porters still reminded Xiao Yao of his broken guitar.

On the night he arrived in New York, Xiao Yao sent an email complaining to the airline, and later because of Sun Tingting's case, Xiao Yao never took care of this matter. Now seeing these porters, thinking of his destroyed guitar, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone before the plane took off, and opened his mailbox to check the email.

The complaint email was answered. It's just that the content of the airline's reply unsurprisingly made Xiao Yao not satisfied. In the email, the airline shifted the blame directly to the ground staff at London Airport. However, according to Xiao Yao's understanding, the porters at London Airport are also employees of airlines, not employees of the airport. Xiao Yao has already begun to feel a little bit of the taste of "kicking the ball". In desperation, Xiao Yao had to continue to write another complaint email, and at the same time sent it to the London airport and the airline in transit, waiting for a reply.

When Xiao Yao came to the United States this time, he took two planes because of a transfer, but the passengers on one plane suddenly fell ill, and the other plane even had a prisoner robbery, which was not very peaceful. In the process of taking the plane for the third time, there were no more accidents, the plane took off from New York, landed in Los Angeles, and arrived very smoothly.

After coming out of the airport in Los Angeles, Xiao Yao took Sun Tingting to the car rental office at the airport to rent a car to get around. The driver's license and the international driver's license he applied for in the summer are finally useful.

In the year of being an international exchange student, Xiao Yao came to Los Angeles not a few times, but not a lot, and almost every time he came was related to work. Recording his own band, warming up for Daydream's concert in Los Angeles, attending the Oscars and competing in the National Hip-hop Competition with the Riptide Dance Troupe don't seem to have come purely for fun. But even so, Xiao Yao has a considerable degree of understanding of Los Angeles.

Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting spent two days in Los Angeles, the Walk of Fame, the Huaxia Theater, the Los Angeles Museum of Art, the Getty Center for the Arts, and of course, Disneyland and Disney Concert Hall.

On the third day, Xiao Yao drove Sun Tingting from Los Angeles to Calabasas.

After arriving in Calabasas, the first stop for the two was to Xiqiao Middle School, where Xiao Yao once studied. Westbridge Middle School is also on summer vacation now, and there are no people in the school, but there are still no restrictions on entering and exiting. Xiao Yao took Sun Tingting to take a careful walk around the school, which can be regarded as a reminiscence of last year's study and life here.

Then I went to the "buy more" supermarket where Xiao Yao once worked. A year has passed, almost half of the employees in the supermarket have changed, and many people Xiao Yao no longer knows. However, the boss has not changed, and it is still the old Robert who is working hard. However, the old Robert is not in the store, except for Zhou Jingyi, Xiao Yao and the other employees in the store are not very familiar, and many people don't remember Xiao Yao, a Chinese boy who used to work here, after a year. So Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting just walked around the store roughly, bought a few things casually and left.

The last stop is the Smith house. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, Dean made an appointment with Mike and George to travel to Texas together, but he was not at home, and Sammy had not returned home yet. So Xiao Yao only met Mrs. Smith and the little girl Erin.

Mrs. Smith seemed very happy about Xiao Yao's arrival, and she was also very enthusiastic about Sun Tingting, the girlfriend brought by Xiao Yao. Not only did he enthusiastically leave the two of them for dinner, but he even generously asked the two of them to stay at home for one night. Just like what their family promised, the attic room where Xiao Yao lived last year remained the same, and it basically didn't move much except for occasionally going in to clean it.

If Xiao Yao came alone, he really wanted to stay in that room for another night, but with Sun Tingting together, it didn't seem embarrassing for the two to squeeze into that single bed. Although Sarmien and Dean are not at home, it is obviously not appropriate to let Xiao Yao go to Dean's room or let Sun Tingting live in Samion's room. So the two just had dinner at Smith's house, chatted with Mrs. Smith, and took Sun Tingting to the attic room where Xiao Yao lived, and Xiao Yao said goodbye to Sun Tingting.

It was already evening when the two left the Smith house, and after a night in a hotel in the city of Calabasas, they left Karabasas the next day.

When returning to Los Angeles from Calabasas, Xiao Yao took Sun Tingting with him to visit Keith Craig and Betty Bellaite in Beverly Hills. When Sun Tingting was taken away by the police on suspicion of murder, Keith Craig helped Xiao Yao introduce a lawyer. Now that Sun Tingting is fine, the lawyer can pay according to the standard, but for Keith Craig, who introduced the lawyer, Xiao Yao feels that he still has to thank him in person.

When the two arrived at the Keith family's villa, not only the couple were there, but even Xiao Yao had not seen them before, and their nine-year-old child was also at home.

After the meeting, Xiao Yao first introduced the couple and Sun Tingting to each other, and then thanked Keith Craig for helping him contact a lawyer.

Xiao Yao promised Keith Craig on the phone that he would thank him with a bottle of good Chinese wine and a song. This time, Xiao Yao didn't have any wine in his hand, so he told Keith that he would send him the wine when he returned to China. There is a wine shop in the alley where his grandfather lives, Xiao Yao sneaked into the wine shop to play when he was a child, and the owner of the wine shop who is a decades-old neighborhood with Xiao Chengru also likes Xiao Yao very much, Xiao Yao feels that it is not a big problem to get a bottle of good wine from the old man.

Keith Craig himself is not a heavy drinker, but he is still a good drinker, and Americans love handmade products more than they do on the assembly line in factories. When Xiao Yao said that he could get him a bottle of traditional Chinese liquor that had been handbrewed by a brewmaster for decades and had been cellared for more than ten years, those polite refusals suddenly became a little speechless.

In addition to wine, Xiao Yao also promised a condition that he would give Keith Craig a song. At that time, Xiao Yao was also in a state of anxiety and excitement when he called, and when he looked back and thought about this condition, it seemed to be a little arrogant. Keith Craig is also a singer-songwriter himself, his band has been popular in the United States for longer than Xiao Yao's debut, and the number one singles on the Billboard have all reached double digits.

But fortunately, what Xiao Yao said at the time was only to thank them with a song, and did not say that it was for their "Daydream" band. In view of the fact that the band "Immortals" is now a band owned by Keith, and this band also appeared on the Oscar stage because of Xiao Yao's song, Xiao Yao told Keith Craig that the song he said on the phone was for "Immortals", and asked him if he had any plans to release a new song for "Immortals" in the near future.

It's summer vacation, and the band members are all students, and considering that three of them are all going from high school to college this year, this summer vacation is of special significance, and Keith Craig only let them practice for a month before giving them a vacation. Now that the three of them are in Texas and one is in New York, all of them are traveling outside, how can they have any plans to release a new song for them recently? At least after their vacation is over. However, I heard that Xiao Yao had a song for them, and Keith Craig didn't let it go, after all, the song "IMMORTALS" was played there, and speaking of which, Xiao Yao did not officially quit the band, and he was still a member of the band.

Xiao Yao felt that he shouldn't casually write a song for "Daydream", and put the song on the head of the band "Immortals", but he didn't expect Keith Craig to take the initiative to ask Xiao Yao for a song.

"Jan, I know you're very talented in music. After chatting about the song "Immortals", Keith Craig took the initiative to say to Xiao Yao, "The song you wrote for "Immortals", we "Daydream" naturally won't grab it, but I have a problem now, I don't know if you can help. ”

"What kind of problem, is it related to music?" Xiao Yao said curiously. Even if he didn't help introduce the lawyer, purely based on the friendship between the two, Xiao Yao would definitely be able to help. Just like Xiao Yao doesn't talk about wine, songs, and other things, Keith Craig will still be very enthusiastic to help Xiao Yao introduce lawyers.

"Here's the thing," Keith Craig began, "I have a good friend of mine who is getting married tomorrow, and in order to surprise his good friend, he wants to invite us to perform as a mystery guest at his best friend's wedding. Neither my buddy nor his buddies are in the entertainment industry, but purely a help between friends, and I and the band members have no problem with that. ”

"The problem is, we're a rock band, we don't have songs for weddings, and sweet love songs aren't the genre I'm good at. Keith Craig continued, "Since you're here, I'd like to know if you have a song for us that is suitable for the wedding occasion and for the band to perform?"

"Can't you sing songs from other bands?" Xiao Yao asked, "There should be a lot of love songs suitable for band performances, right?"

"This is my last choice," says Keith Craig, "this friend is my best friend from college, and I want to do more for him, sing a special song to his friend, so that it can reflect the special pair of people and show that I care more." ”

"You mean you want me to write you a new song?" Xiao Yao confirmed.

"Yes, it's better to have a new song that hasn't been released before. Keith Craig nodded, "If the song is suitable, I will buy the commercial rights to the song at the market price, and it will be released on an album in the future, and the songwriter will have your name on it." ”

"I won't talk about the price or anything, but I will take it as my thank you for helping to introduce a lawyer. Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "You said that the wedding is tomorrow, in terms of rehearsal time... Half a day of practicing a song is enough, anyway, it is a live performance in a private place, and it is not a recording in the studio. Well, I promise you. ”

"Do you really have it?" said Keith Craig happily, "is it a previous work? How long will it take? Don't tell me you're starting to write now." ”

"It's a song that no one has ever heard before, anyway. Xiao Yao smiled, "Give me half an hour, let's go to your music room?"

"Okay, come upstairs with me. Keith Craig immediately stood up and said.

Seeing that her husband's troubles have hope to be solved, Betty Belette on the side is also very happy. Seeing that Xiao Yao and Keith Craig were going to the music room, he took the initiative to take over the task of taking care of Sun Tingting, and said to Sun Tingting with a smile: "Tiana, their men are going to write songs, why don't I take you shopping, there are many first-class brand stores in Beverly Hills." ”

"No need," Sun Tingting shook her head and looked at Keith Craig, "If I could, I would also like to see what kind of songs Yang wrote for weddings." ”

"I forgot to introduce it just now," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "My girlfriend is also studying music, and now she is a student at Chambers Conservatory, majoring in violin performance." Although I studied classical music, I also know a lot about pop music. ”

"Chambers, I didn't expect your girlfriend to be so good. Keith Craig gave a thumbs up and said, "In that case, let's go together." Betty, are you coming?"

"Okay, let's go together. In fact, Betty Hellette usually watches Keith Craig play the piano and sing at home, just now I was afraid that Sun Tingting would be bored and proposed to go shopping, since Sun Tingting also studied music, let's go listen to Xiao Yao's new song for the "Daydream" band.

After everyone arrived at the music room upstairs, Xiao Yao picked up a guitar and sat on a chair, erected a music stand in front of him, put paper and pencils, and memorized while playing.

When it comes to rock bands singing at the wedding, the first thing Xiao Yao thinks of is the song "Sugar" sung by Maroon5 in his previous life. Maroon5 is originally a rock band, and the plot of the music video for this song is that the band raids various wedding scenes, so this song is undoubtedly very good to meet Keith Craig's requirements. It's just that this song is not the song that Xiao Yao listened to the most in this band in his previous life, and his impression is not particularly profound, so he needs to write the lyrics and music scores while playing and recalling.
