At dusk, the coffee shop has a lot of customers, and office workers who are tired after a long day of work come here to sit, drink a cup of coffee, and enjoy the charming twilight.

Wang Yang and Jessica sat at a table by the floor-to-ceiling window, each holding a cup of coffee.

After watching "Titanic", the two came to this café next to the movie theater, but they didn't talk much along the way. Although their friendship back then was so good that they talked about everything, after all, it was when they were children, and now that nearly ten years have passed, it is inevitable that they will be unfamiliar.

"Jan, there's something I need to apologize to you for. It was Jessica who broke the silence, she looked at Wang Yang, apologized and said, "When I transferred and left that year, I didn't say goodbye to you in person, I'm sorry." She sighed and explained, "My dad left the army and was going to Los Angeles for business, so we had to move here as a family. But you know, I was cowardly back then, and I didn't know how to say goodbye to you, so ...... In the end, I only left that letter for you. ”

Wang Yang said suspiciously: "What kind of letter?"

"Oh?" Jessica frowned, and said a little puzzled, "It's the farewell letter left for you, and it's in your drawer, you ...... Didn't receive it?"

"No, there is no faith. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, at that time Jessica walked away, as if he didn't treat him as a good friend at all, and he complained for a while, so he almost completely forgot about her later.

Jessica was stunned, at that time, from the time her father told her that she was going to move to Los Angeles, she began to write the long, several pages of the letter, wrote and tore, tore and wrote, it took more than a week, until the last day of school before she left, she determined the content of the letter, and carefully put it in Wang Yang's drawer, why didn't Wang Yang receive it?

"Impossible, what's going on?" Jessica couldn't figure it out, and was so anxious that she seemed to have lost something: "I obviously put the letter in a drawer and pressed it with your book...... Oh God, I see, no wonder I didn't get your letter, you didn't see my farewell letter, you wouldn't know the address of my new home, oh my God, what went wrong?"

"Wait, let me think about it...... I seem to have missed something......" Wang Yang rubbed his temples, trying to recall the events of the year, the memory was very vague, that day he went to school as usual, walked into the classroom as usual, and then found that the desk next to him was empty, Jessica's textbook or something was gone, the teacher said that she had transferred to another school and left, he was very irritable, complaining about why Jessica didn't say goodbye to him, after class, looking at the empty table next to him, a little sad......

"That little brunette is finally gone, and I get annoyed when I see her, and she is ugly and ugly......" "She's always like an ostrich, she doesn't say anything, and it's not fun to bully her......" "Look who else that Chinese kid can talk to, I was disgusted when I heard their laughter before......" The bad white kids in the class gathered around to discuss, and then Peter, the leader of the evil kids, suddenly raised a few pages and shouted in a gloomy voice, "Guys, see what good things I find." Then the white kids gathered around and watched, laughing one after another. Then he thought the gang was bored, so he walked out of the classroom and went outside.

Later, his dream of becoming a director spread far and wide, and there were still many people in the class who laughed at him behind his back, and he remembered Peter saying "Find your ugly ghost to be your heroine, big director!"

Thinking of this, Wang Yang basically knew what was going on, and he asked Jessica, "Did you write in the letter that I want to be a director?"

"Well......" Jessica pretended to think, but she still remembered the contents of the letter very clearly, and she could even say every sentence of the letter now. After thinking about it for a while, she nodded and said, "There should be, I wrote some words of encouragement, probably mentioned." ”

She tried her best to control her blushing, in fact, she wrote the farewell letter very numbly, it was the first time she mustered up the courage to confess, she said that when she arrived in Los Angeles, she would try to persuade her parents to let her go to acting school, she would work hard to make herself an actor, and wrote that Wang Yang would also work hard to become a director, and they would meet in Hollywood in Los Angeles in the future...... These words were numb, so she always remembered them clearly, and she couldn't forget them.

Now that she thinks about it, especially Wang Yang is sitting opposite her, which makes her a little confused and restless, Yang can't be playing tricks on her, right?

"Then I'll know what's going on! Damn!" Wang Yang couldn't help but scold, "It's Peter! It was that slut who stole the letter you gave me, no wonder he suddenly knew that I wanted to be a director, and he also knew that you wanted to be an actor! Except for you, I didn't tell any other classmates about these things at all, damn it, God cursed him!"

When Peter Jessica heard this, the face of a white child suddenly appeared in her heart, and she said in disbelief: "Peter, is that bad boy who likes to use hairspray to make his hair stand up?" By the way, I also remembered that when I put the letter in your drawer, he was the only one in the classroom, and he was still looking at me with a smile...... Oh my God, he stole the letter?!How could he do that!?"

Jessica was hit hard, first with a sluggish face, then with both hands scratching her head in pain, she remembered that after she moved to Los Angeles, she was bullied in her new school, and the letter from Wang Yang, which she was looking forward to every day, never came, and she even secretly cried several times. It wasn't until her family agreed that she would go to acting school, and she slowly became beautiful, that she got out of her predicament.

What a great thing it would have been if she had been able to receive Wang Yang's letter and keep in touch at that time! She thought she would be very happy, even if she was ridiculed and bullied by those bad kids every day.

Jessica clenched her fists, her face flushed with anger, and she gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "How can he be like this, how can he be like this!?Why is there such a person!?I'm going to kill that bastard......"

Wang Yang was also very angry, if he knew that Peter had stolen his letter, he would definitely beat that slut into a pig's head!

The two were angry for a while, took a sip of coffee in unison, looked at each other and laughed, a little helpless and regretful in the laughter. But these things are in the past, and they can't be undone, but fortunately now they are reunited, aren't they?

Putting down the coffee cup, Jessica gradually calmed down her excitement, looked at Wang Yang and said softly: "Yang, I really appreciate your help to me before, you are the best friend I have met at school." She shook her head and said, "You don't know, my new school in Los Angeles has become the target of those bad boys, they wear beautiful clothes, but they are ugly inside, and they keep hurting the heart of a little girl." Seriously, I really missed you back then. ”

She smiled slightly, coughed, and then lowered her voice and learned the tone of Wang Yang before: "Hey, do you want to bully her?

"Wow, I was so great, I didn't even know it myself. Wang Yang was a little embarrassed by her praise, he knew that he wasn't trying to be a "flower messenger" back then, helping Jessica fight, just learning some boxing, so brave and ruthless.

"Yes. Jessica nodded seriously and said mysteriously, "Actually, you really felt a little superhuman at that time. Haha!" she laughed again: "It's a pity that Superman wasn't on duty in Los Angeles later." Oh, it was a dark day, but thankfully I survived. ”

The two laughed heartily again, reminiscing about the past, and talking about the recent situation, and the question that Jessica was most concerned about and Wang Yang didn't want to mention was finally here. Jessica smiled and asked, "Young, how does it feel to study at USC?"

"It's okay, it feels good...... Wang Yang hesitated, looking at Jessica holding her chin with a look of deference, he couldn't help but have a big headache, he took a sip of coffee, a bitter abruptness, okay, this lie can't be told, he smiled bitterly: "Actually, I was no longer a USC student a week ago, and I was expelled." ”

"What!?you were fired?" Jessica was shocked, glaring anxiously, "What happened?" Oh, I'm sorry, what's going on, Jan? Why did they fire you?!"

At this moment, Wang Yang's expression became even more bitter, and he said helplessly: "Racial discrimination, they say that I am racist." ”

"Racism?you?" Jessica was stunned, the moment she heard that Wang Yang was expelled, she thought of a lot of reasons for the expulsion, bad grades, smoking marijuana, committing a crime, but she couldn't have imagined that it was racism? She shook her head in disbelief and said, "Yang, are you joking with me?"

Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I also want to be joking, but it's true." I was wronged, to put it simply, USC had a slut like Peter, named Terrance Benn, who kept insulting me that day, blocking my way and pushing me, and I got angry and beat him up. A teacher happened to be passing by and saw me beating him. ”

He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger and said: "Terrance bit me back, called me racist, insulted him and finally beat him, unfortunately, the school chose to believe Terrance, and then I was expelled." ”

Jessica's face was also full of anger when she heard this, and said: "How can this be, they can't just wronged people like this! Yang, I won't believe you for racial discrimination, how can they be so stupid?!"

"There was no one else at the place where I fought him, so no one testified to me. And the teacher who was passing by witnessed me beating Terrance violently, and he was willing to testify to Terrance. Wang Yang remembered his helplessness at that time, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, I searched all the people in the academy, asked one by one, trying to find a person who was present at the time to tell the truth, but no one!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Jessica also frowned, seeing Wang Yang's crazy appearance, she was very sad, she wanted to help Wang Yang, just like Wang Yang helped her before. She tried to calm herself down, thought of various methods, and suddenly came up with an idea, and said happily: "Young, can I go and testify to you? I will tell you about the help I received from you when I was a child, and prove to the USC authorities that you are definitely not that kind of person!"

Wang Yang shook his head and said, "It's useless, in fact, I've already tried to do this." I found a few black classmates from high school to intercede with me, but the gang at the school are a bunch of stubborn old immortals!" The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he slapped the table sharply: "They even suspect that my classmates were bribed by me with money!"

"Is there no other way?" Jessica said unwillingly, how could this be, she has become an actor, and Wang Yang could have become a director, so the words of childhood will come true. But now...... God, why do you arrange it this way?

Wang Yang didn't answer, Jessica looked at him and stopped talking, but he couldn't say anything. There was a long silence between the two, just drinking coffee.

After a while, Jessica asked sadly, "Then do you have any plans?" She knew that Wang Yang would not be able to move an inch, and he would be charged with racial discrimination, making it difficult for him to find an ordinary job.

What are your plans and what will you do next? This question, Wang Yang was also asking himself, he drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, so bitter that he wanted to vomit.

He doesn't have many options, or no choice at all, and re-studying and looking for a job has already marked that this path is not working. And he doesn't have much money, the one-semester living expenses given by his parents, plus the money he earns from his own work-study, is only about 10,000 US dollars, and now he is expelled from school, he needs to rent a house outside here, as well as utility bills, etc., and there will be no scholarships, he can't last long; in terms of time, there are still two months before the second semester is over, and when the time comes, the news of his expulsion, his parents will definitely not be able to hide it anymore, and a war will definitely break out at that time, and if he achieves nothing, he will be tied back to San Francisco......

More than 10,000 US dollars, two months, what can he do?

Wang Yang looked at Jessica Alba's beautiful face opposite, his heart jumped, and then he tightened, she will become famous after all, she will stand on the stage that belongs to her, and the whole world will be obsessed with it. And what about him? Go back to that shabby restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, stir-fry and wash dishes every day, and then drift away from the movies, the director, and this girl? Damn!

Jessica noticed the trace of pain flashing on Wang Yang's face, and her heart was also tight, very painful, how could she help Wang Yang? She thought for a while and said, "Yang, after my father was discharged from the army, he did a lot of business, and now he has opened a real estate company, which is doing well, and now he is also recruiting employees......

"No, no, no! Jessica, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not going to be a salesman. Before Jessica could finish speaking, Wang Yang interrupted with a smile, because he already had an idea! He smiled: "You know, I want to be a director, I want to make movies, I started thinking about it when I was very young. And now, I've decided, I'm going to take action, not just to think about it, I'm going to make a movie!

Yes, he wants to make a movie, this is the way he wants to go! Even if he hits his head on this road, he will not give up, because he will not allow himself to lose something!

"Jessica, you are an ugly duckling now, but you will become a beautiful white swan in the future! Believe me, you must become an actor! Then when I become a director, I can find you to play my heroine." ”

The first part of this sentence has already been realized, and one day the latter part will also be realized! He firmly believed.
