Faced with Jin's accusation beside him, Xiao Yao did not explain, but just smiled bitterly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, Jin didn't give Xiao Yao a chance to explain. After calling Xiao Yao a coward, Jin didn't look at Xiao Yao again, and quickly left and returned to the area he was in charge of to sort out the goods that had just been knocked off the shelves because he was chasing the thief. After the police arrived after a while, as the person concerned, she inevitably had to go to the police station to make a record, and she had to hurry up and sort out the thieves and the mess in her area.

Xiao Yao, on the other hand, calmly picked up the shopping cart that tripped the thief, and began to sort out the goods scattered on the ground.

It didn't take long for a police officer to arrive and slip the three thieves away, and as an eyewitness to the scene, Kim also went to the police station to take notes.

After seeing off the police, several white clerks who had successfully caught a few thieves also got together and talked excitedly about their heroic deeds. However, in their conversation, they did not express dissatisfaction or contempt for Xiao Yao's performance just now like Jin. After all, everyone knows that Xiao Yao is just an international exchange student from Huaxia, and he is only a high school student, and his delicate face and usually quiet performance make everyone feel that it is normal for him to react in the face of three fierce black youths, especially when the other party still has a knife in his hand.

The episode of overtime in the supermarket on the first day passed quickly, and nothing special happened in the next few days, and the time soon came to the weekend, that is, the day Betty invited Xiao Yao to her home as a guest.

Beverly Hills is located halfway between Calabasas and Los Angeles, and it's about an hour's drive from Smith's house to Betty's villa on Beverly Hills. Xiao Yao wanted to talk to Mrs. Smith no matter what.

"Do you need me to drive you there?" Xiao Yao was going to a friend's house as a guest, whether that friend was a celebrity or not, Mrs. Smith had no reason to object, just asked enthusiastically.

"No, you don't. Xiao Yao didn't know how long he would stay at Betty's house this time, so he didn't want to trouble Mrs. Smith too much, so he shook his head and refused, "I don't know how long I'll stay when I go, so it's better to take a taxi." ”

"I thought I could help you bring back a Keith Craig signed record. Xiao Yao smiled and said to Dean who was looking at him with envy. The band was originally going to perform on the school anniversary with the song of the band "Daydream", and it can be seen that Dean should be a fan of the band "Daydream".

"You know me so well. Dean immediately came over and smiled and punched Xiao Yao in the shoulder.

As a fan of the band "Daydream", Dean is very eager to have a signed record of the band's lead singer and soul Keith Craig, Xiao Yao's visit to Craig's house is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, but Xiao Yao is a guest as a friend, he is not sure if Xiao Yao will feel embarrassed to go to his friend to ask for an autograph, so he has been hesitant not to say to Xiao Yao.

The residential area of Beverly Hill is home to many mansions of American sports and entertainment stars. It's not surprising to see any luxury cars here, but it's very rare for taxis to appear here. And Xiao Yao appeared in a taxi in front of Betty Bellette and Keith Craig's luxurious villa on Beverly Hills.

"Hi Jan, welcome. Because the arrival time was informed in advance, when Xiao Yao rang the doorbell at the door of Craig's house, Betty personally opened the door at the gate to greet Xiao Yao.

"Hey, Betty!" Xiao Yao smiled and greeted Betty who came to the gate to greet him.

"Come in. Betty smiled sideways and let Xiao Yao into the house, glanced at the empty doorway, and asked Xiao Yao a little strangely: "Why didn't you see your car? ”

"Hey, Betty, don't forget that I'm from China, and I can only get a driver's license at the age of eighteen, not at the age of sixteen in the United States. I came by taxi. Xiao Yao reminded Betty with a wry smile.

"Oh, my bad!" Betty slapped her forehead with some annoyance, "I should have sent a car to pick you up." ”

Betty really ignored the fact that Chinese people can only get a driver's license at the age of eighteen. In the United States, a country where you can use a driver's license as an ID card, the first thing most ordinary children do when they reach the age of 16 is to take a driver's license, not to mention those rich second generations and second generations of stars who are eager to drive their luxury cars everywhere to show off. She remembered that Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi told her that Xiao Yao was the second generation of stars in Huaxia, and buying a car should not be a problem for him, but she forgot that the age limit for taking a driver's license in Huaxia law is different from that in the United States.

"It's okay," Xiao Yao smiled and comforted, "I think it's cool to take a taxi to Beverly Hills, and the return rate along the way is much higher than that of a private car." ”

"Well," Betty said with a smile, "but for the safety of the other drivers on the road, let my driver give you a ride when you go back, lest they have any accidents when they look back at the rare taxi that appears on Beverly Hills." ”

"Well, I agree. Xiao Yao smiled and spread his hands.

Then, Xiao Yao's outstretched hands did not retract, but continued to spread out and said to Betty: "I know that according to American etiquette, I should bring a bottle of good wine as a gift for a visitor." But U.S. law prohibits merchants from selling alcohol to young people under the age of 21, so I couldn't buy it, so I had to come empty-handed. By the way, this is the American law that I hate the most. When I was in Huaxia, I almost got drunk when I graduated from junior high school, and no one interfered. ”

"It doesn't matter. At my house, if you want to drink, I'll give you a drink. Betty said to Xiao Yao, who complained about American law, "Even if you're drunk, it doesn't matter." ”

"Hey, you're breaking the law by doing that. Xiao Yao followed Betty and turned around and walked into the house.

"Breaking the law or not, I don't care. Betty raised her head slightly.

That's not what a public figure should say. Xiao Yao continued to tease.

"At home, no one is a public figure. Betty said confidently.

"Also, since you yourself said that you should bring a gift to your door, then as compensation for not having a gift, you will play a piano song to us later. It's been seven years since I last heard you play, and after all this time, you must be playing the piano even better. Betty continued.

"Your husband plays music and plays the piano at your house, and I'm afraid he will see this as my provocation to him, and I'm afraid he will be unhappy. Xiao Yao joked.

"So what? Keith is a bit better at playing guitar, but when it comes to playing the piano, I don't think Keith is as good as you. Betty said indifferently.

"Now I'm really upset. As he spoke, a young man in his thirties walked out.

"Hello Jan. It's a pleasure to meet you and welcome to my house. The young man's dissatisfied expression only lasted for two seconds, and then he put on a smiling face and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao.

"Hello Keith, nice to meet you. The tattoo is beautiful. Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and shook the young man, and by the way, he praised the tattoo on the other party's exposed forearm.

"Thank you. Keith Craig responded with a smile, and then said to Xiao Yao: "It just so happens that there will be a ladder in my house tonight, and some friends will come later, I hope you have a good night." ”

"Thank you!" This time it was Xiao Yao's turn to say thank you. It is common for American celebrities to like to drive ladders, and Xiao Yao is not particularly surprised by this.

"Alright, let's have dinner first. Let's talk at the dinner table. Betty saw that the two were officially acquainted, so she greeted the two.

Although school will be released earlier on Friday, Xiao Yao still has to go back to Smith's house to change clothes, plus more than an hour's drive, Xiao Yao arrived at Craig's house when it was basically dinner time.

probably took Xiao Yao's complaint seriously, and at dinner, Betty really asked the maid to prepare red wine for Xiao Yao to accompany the meal. Xiao Yao also unceremoniously picked up the wine glass and drank it. Speaking of which, this is the first time Xiao Yao has drunk since coming to the United States.

As a member of a rock band, even if he is a father, Keith will not have a rebellious factor in his body, and he naturally has no opinion on Xiao Yao, a seventeen-year-old child, drinking.

"I've seen Betty record your band performing on her phone on school anniversary. Jan, I want to know, did you really write that "Immortals?" Keith said, referring to the song that the band performed on school day.

"Yes. Xiao Yao nodded, "What do you think?"

"Great!" Keith raised his hands and gave a thumbs up, then looked at Xiao Yao with some eagerness and said, "Can you sell it to me?"

"Sorry, no. Xiao Yao shook his head apologetically.

Hearing Xiao Yao's answer, Keith looked at Xiao Yao with some surprise and said, "You refused without even listening to my bid?" And if this song is sung by my "Daydream", it will definitely be more well-known, and your name will be known by more people." ”

"It's not about the price," Xiao Yao looked back at Keith seriously, "This is our band's first song, or the song with the same name as our band." Therefore, although the copyright is mine, the right to use it can only belong to our band. As for myself, having fun is the most important thing. Whether it is in China or the United States, I believe that as long as my performance is good enough, I will naturally be recognized by more people. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Hearing Xiao Yao's firm refusal, Keith not only did not get angry or dissatisfied, but praised Xiao Yao again. has been immersed in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, he has seen too many bands or groups fall apart, and the reason why his "Daydream" band has existed for more than ten years so far is because he has the same idea as Xiao Yao in this regard.

"Jan is a genius, and if he wants to be famous, I believe it won't be difficult. Betty also said, "Don't forget that in addition to playing music, Jan was also a talented young photographer..."

"Speaking of photography, do you have any new works lately?" Betty said, also looking at Xiao Yao and said, "I don't seem to have seen YS's photography works for a year, do you want me to introduce you to a few photography projects here?"

"Hey, who said I don't have photography this year?" Xiao Yao said to Betty with some amusement: "During this year's Men's Basketball World Championships, the photo special of the Chinese men's basketball team published in the French "Sports Album" is my work in the first half of this year. ”

"The Chinese men's basketball team hasn't paid attention to it. Betty shook her head.

"Hey, Betty. Xiao Yao was a little dissatisfied, "Although the U.S. men's basketball team is a well-deserved basketball hegemon, you shouldn't despise other countries' teams so much." ”

"Really?" Betty looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "So will you pay attention to the American table tennis team?"

"Uh... I was speechless. This really made Xiao Yao a little speechless.

At this time, Keith opened his mouth to resolve Xiao Yao's embarrassment, "Young, I guess you are a basketball fan, are you interested in watching a professional basketball game live?"

"Of course. Xiao Yao nodded, "I'm very much looking forward to watching a professional basketball game on the spot." (To be continued.) )
