"Hey, Michael, I'm ready to go. Wang Yang said as he took out a pair of sneakers from the shoe cabinet at the door and put them on, bent over to tie the laces, glanced back at Michael Pitt not far away, and said with a smile: "You eat instant noodles by yourself, haha!"
Leaning against the wall, Michael Pitt smiled as he pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and prepared to smoke one.
"Be careful, don't burn my apartment. Wang Yang warned twice, tied his shoelaces on his hands, he took two steps on the ground, opened the door and was about to go out, when his mobile phone suddenly rang. He took it out and looked at it, his cheerful face slowly calmed down, answered the phone, and said, "Hi, Rachel." Michael Pitt over there stopped with a cigarette holder in his mouth, holding a lighter, and looked at Wang Yang with both eyes.
"Hey Jan, do you have any show tonight?" Rachel's soft, smiling voice came over. Hearing her question, Wang Yang touched his head a little unnaturally and said, "I'm going to go to Jessica's house for dinner." There was silence on the phone for a while, and then I heard Rachel let out a faint "oh" and said calmly: "Then I won't bother you." ”
Hearing that she was about to hang up, Wang Yang couldn't help but shout: "Rachel!" Rachel said softly: "What?" Wang Yang was silent for a moment before saying, "Rachel, I want to say thank you to you." Rachel snorted and said, "Jan, that's what I want to tell you, thank you." ”
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yang silently put the phone back in his pocket. Michael Pitt over there pressed the lighter, lit the cigarette butt in his mouth, looked at Wang Yang and said, "Yang, I also want to tell you, thank you." ”
"Come on. Wang Yang shook his head with a smile, said "I'm leaving" again, and walked outside.
In the afternoon, a parade is being held in the streets, with troupes dressed in Indian costumes performing various performances, and the streets are lined with tourists, everyone smiling, and the festive atmosphere is everywhere.
Wang Yang stood on the side of the street and watched for a long time before continuing his journey. Due to the closure of many sections of the road and the traffic jam, he did not drive out by himself, and chose the subway plus walking. Coming to the community where Jessica's house is located, passing by the small fountain, and walking for a while, Wang Yang looked at the beautiful two-story house in front of him, took out his mobile phone and called Jessica, and said with a smile: "I've arrived." ”
After putting away the mobile phone, Wang Yang came to the grass in front of Jessica's house, and saw a white Labrador dog running over with his legs, it was Danny, he hadn't seen Wang Yang for a long time, and when he smelled the familiar smell, he immediately pounced with extreme excitement. Wang Yang let out a "wow", grabbed Danny's paws with both hands, and said with a smile: "Hey, Danny, how are you doing?"
Danny stuck out his tongue and gasped, his feet straining incessantly, trying to break free of Wang Yang's control, and then pounce on him.
"Don't do that, Danny!" shouted Jessica, who came out of the house, dressed in a colorful outfit, with a cloth towel around her wrists, brown hair draped, a headband, and a few colored feathers, looking like an Indian, very pretty. She walked over, patted Danny lightly on the head, and smiled, "Danny, go away, don't pester Yang." ”
"Hey!" Wang Yang greeted her, let go of Danny's hand, and said, "It's okay, Jessica, you know I like dogs." Danny, who was freed, immediately jumped up and jumped around him, and he crouched down and stroked Danny's neck vigorously, and smiled, "Man, you are so enthusiastic...... Oh!" He only felt a burning cheek and was licked by Danny's big tongue, he smiled and gritted his teeth, "Sneak up on me, see how I clean you up!" As he spoke, he rubbed and rubbed Danny's head like a Chow Chow.
Jessica smiled as she watched him play with Danny, her heart was full of sweet feelings, she bent over her knees, leaned forward and smiled, "Young, you should attack its ears and blow a breath, that's its weak point!"
"Yes, sir!" Wang Yang smiled and opened his mouth like a lion's roar, and sent a breath to Danny's ear, and Danny suddenly shuddered the whole dog, pricked up his ears in confusion, and then pounced on him even more frantically, throwing him down on the grass.
Jessica laughed happily next to her, let out a crisp laugh, and shouted, "Be careful, it's going to lick your face!"
After playing with Danny for a while, Wang Yang followed Jessica into the house, Joshua went out to play and didn't come back, and Cathy was busy in the kitchen in the back, so only Mark Alba was in the living room. Jessica smiled at Wang Yang and said, "Yang, you are free, I will continue to prepare dinner." She looked at Mark Alba again and smiled, "Dad, you can help me say hello." With that, she left the living room and went to the kitchen at the back of the house.
Wang Yang looked at Mark Alba in a white shirt and smiled, "Hey, Mark." Mark Alba's tough face was expressionless, and he looked at Wang Yang very seriously, as if this was the first time they had met. He stretched out a hand to Wang Yang, Wang Yang reached out and shook him, Mark Alba pulled hard, patted Wang Yang's shoulder with his other hand, and said in a calm tone: "Boy, welcome to my house......"
"Mark, thank you......" Wang Yang laughed, his shoulder was a little painful by Mark, and he couldn't help muttering secretly, his strength is really great.
After saying hello, the two sat down on the fabric sofa. Mark Alba sat up straight and always maintained a serious demeanor. If it had been a year and a half ago, Wang Yang might have felt a little embarrassed now, but after so many years and dealing with so many middle-aged people, he would have been able to cope with it a long time ago, and besides, sitting in a conference room for a meeting was much more uncomfortable than now.
Seeing that Mark still didn't speak, Wang Yang looked at him and took the initiative to say, "Mark, I also want to thank you, Mr. Hebrew-Karl is a good lawyer, and he has helped me a lot in legal matters." "Hebrew-Karl was introduced to him by Jessica, and Jessica must have gotten the message from Mark.
"Nothing. Mark Alba finally spoke, and he suddenly asked, "Young, your movie "Youth Musical" is about to start filming, right?"
Wang Yang said "yes" and replied, "Everything is ready, and after Thanksgiving, we will go to Salt Lake City, Utah, where "Youth Musical" will be filmed." ”
"Utah. Mark Alba said, a smile actually appeared on his face, and said: "A good place, Mendoovi Air Base is there, and the pilots there are all elite. He looked at Wang Yang next to him and said, "Do you know? There used to be a group of excellent B-29 bomber pilots trained there, and Paul Tibbetts was one of them, and he later dropped the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. ”
Wang Yang nodded silently and said, "Yes, I know." The Enola-Gai bomber, the Little Boy atomic bomb, they ended the war. Mark Alba's eyes suddenly became interested, and he said: "Everyone knows about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and the 'little boy', but few people will remember that it was the bomb dropped by the bomber 'Enola-Gai'. ”
"Maybe I just have a good memory. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said seriously: "I don't like war, but I will learn about it." World War II in particular, it took place in the most recent world war, and I want to know why there was a war, how did it end, what did it bring us? We need to know that, so that those who died in the war can rest in peace. ”
Mark Alba nodded in agreement and smiled at him, "Well said. ”
"Hi Dad, Jan. Jessica looked into the hall from the hallway, and couldn't help but be happy when she saw that the two of them got along well, and she smiled sweetly, "I'm just going to come out and have a look, you can continue to ......talk," and she hummed and walked to the kitchen.
Wang Yang and Mark glanced at each other and smiled. Mark joked in a rare way: "What is my daughter worried about? Does she think I'm going to fight with you?" Wang Yang smiled and didn't speak, he felt that the atmosphere was very strange now, he was like "meeting his father-in-law", Mark completely treated him as Jessica's boyfriend. But he came today to attend the Alba family's family dinner, and it made no difference.
"I heard Jessica say that you took good care of her when she was in San Francisco, didn't you?" said Mark Alba as he looked at him, his expression slowly turning back to seriousness, as if he wanted to say something serious.
"Oh?" Wang Yang was stunned, laughed a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "I think so." You know, the teacher told me to take care of her, and I was a good student, so I did. ”
Mark looked at Wang Yang silently for a long time, then suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Then continue to take good care of her, remember, don't let her be hurt in any way." ”
Wang Yang calmly looked at Mark Alba, his eyes did not escape at all, he nodded heavily, and said, "I will." ”
"That's good!" Mark laughed, looking at the handsome young and mature young man in front of him, he felt very relieved in his heart, and he was very happy for his daughter. As for those worries, he decided not to think about them for the time being, and there was no need to worry about imaginary things. Mark stood up with a smile and said, "Want to see a picture of me when I was in the Navy?"
"Wow!" Wang Yang stood up and said with a smile: "Of course, my honor." ”
As night falls, the dining room is filled with tempting delicacies such as fluffy bread, pumpkin pie, ham, and of course, a fragrant, shiny roast turkey.
The Alba family sat at the table with Wang Yang, Mark sat at the head of the family, his wife Cathy and Joshua sat on his left, and Jessica and Wang Yang sat on his right. Mark looked at them and said the opening words of the dinner with a sincere face: "On this day, we have a lot to thank, thank those who sacrificed for freedom, thank those who have helped us...... Thank the Lord for the abundance of food and the freedom to breathe, thank you for all this! ”
Cathy, Joshua, and Jessica all closed their eyes and said with sincerity on their faces, "Thank you for all this, Amen." Wang Yang thought about his current happiness and this beautiful atmosphere, and said softly: "Thank you for all this, Amen." ”
When he had finished praying, Joshua eagerly took a piece of bread, took a big bite of it, and muttered, "Oh, it's delicious! God, I'm dying of hunger." ”
Watching their son gobble, Mark and Cathy both laughed and shook their heads. Jessica looked at Wang Yang expectantly and asked, "Yang, do you want some pumpkin pie?" Wang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, thank you." Jessica picked up a knife, cut a piece of the pumpkin pie, and sent it to Wang Yang's plate with a smile.
Seeing that she was so positive, Wang Yang guessed that this pumpkin pie must have been made by her, so he tasted it well, it was very soft and sweet. He looked at Jessica and gave a thumbs up and praised, "Wow, this pumpkin pie is delicious, it tastes very good, and this sweetness is ......" He thought for a moment and smiled, "I guess I should put a lot of honey in it?"
Seeing him enjoy and praise him, Jessica's heart was happy and sweet, why did she like to cook? Hearing Wang Yang's words, she suddenly said in surprise: "Yang, how do you know?"
Being looked at curiously by everyone, Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, took another bite of pie, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I grew up in a restaurant, and I know these ways." ”
Everyone suddenly came over, and Joshua, who was munching on bread, asked curiously, "Jan, there is also pumpkin pie in Chinese food?"
"There are so many dishes in Chinese food, I don't know if there's pumpkin pie or not, but my restaurant does. Wang Yang laughed, he now remembered his "Wang's Restaurant", there was no patience before, only kindness. "You know, if you want to stay afloat, you have to meet a lot of customer needs and open more 'business'," he explained. So we accept reservations from guests, who want to eat pumpkin pie too, our restaurant can do it too. ”
After listening to his words, everyone understood. Cathy suddenly asked, "Yang, I once made a Chinese food, but how to make it is not the taste of the restaurant, I don't know what's going on?" Wang Yang said while eating pumpkin pie, "Oh, what kind of dish? Tell me how you make it?"
Jessica didn't speak, quietly watching her family and Wang Yang talk happily, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, and her heart was sweeter, sweeter than eating pumpkin pie.
During this hearty dinner, Wang Yang answered a lot of questions about Chinese food, talked about movies and life, and of course, he also heard a lot about Alba's family and learned a lot of interesting facts about Jessica. He seems to be integrated into this family, become a part of it, he feels very warm, and he also feels the love of this family for Jessica, don't let her be hurt!
Under the bright starry sky, Wang Yang and Jessica walked on the road of the community, and not far in front of them was the small fountain. When he came to the fountain, Wang Yang stopped and said, "Just send it here." He looked at Jessica's face, which looked so charming and beautiful in the bright street lamp, and he said, "Thank you for the invitation, I had a wonderful dinner." He laughed again, "That roast turkey is delicious." "It's not small at all, and there's a lot left over.
"If you like it, if you like. Jessica looked at him too, her eyes not avoiding it at all.
"Thank you, Mary. Wang Yang grinned, Mary was her nickname, and he also knew it from Cathy just now, of course, Jessica's middle name was Mary, but he hadn't noticed it before.
Jessica also smiled at the corners of her mouth, and suddenly said, "Call me Jessica." She took a deep breath, her heart pounding fast and fast, and she plucked up the courage to say, "Jan, I like the way you read this name!"
Wang Yang knew what she was talking about, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he nodded and said, "OK, Jessica......" Looking at her crystal-like eyes, those burning eyes full of anticipation, he couldn't help but exhale, took a step forward, his heart beat fast, but the movement was very slow towards Jessica's lips.
Jessica's eyes widened slightly, her lips couldn't help but tremble a little, watching him get closer and closer, she felt that she suddenly couldn't breathe, her heart felt suffocated for a while, the scene she had dreamed of for a long time, was it finally coming?
Touching those two soft and hot lips, Wang Yang seemed to be able to feel her mood, kissed her gently, then raised his head to look at her eyes, grabbed her hand, and asked sincerely and gently, "Jessica, can you be my girlfriend?"
Jessica's face showed a happy smile, she suppressed her breathing, nodded again and again, wanted to speak but couldn't speak, she threw herself into Wang Yang's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and said, "Of course, of course!" She felt so happy, so lucky, she closed her eyes and kept saying in her heart: "Thank God, thank you ......"
Wang Yang also hugged her tightly, his chin gently rubbed her hair, a warmth welled up in his heart, and the sweetness of love that had been lost for a long time, he seemed to have found a part of his soul, and his whole body trembled with joy. Since the reunion, Jessica has been supporting him, encouraging him, and helping him achieve his dreams, and that's his sweetheart, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Wang Yang kissed her forehead again, and said with a smile: "Thank you, my sweetheart!"
Jessica's face was full of happiness, and she greeted it with her lips slightly open, thanking her for all this.
