"Are you in Los Angeles?" asked Natalie in surprise.

Zhang Chen looked at Gan Jie and Le Pen in front of him, and the sound of the radio was a little loud, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Natalie said happily, "I'm here too, what are you doing?"

Zhang Chen tapped Gan Jie on the back and asked him to turn down the sound of the radio, "There is a security company in Malibu, I want to take a look." What about you? You don't seem to be in Los Angeles, are you?"

Natalie Gege smiled: "I am the image ambassador of this Intel Science Award, and I was also shortlisted for the Intel Science Award, but unfortunately I only made it to the semi-finals, not the finals. I'm here today for the award ceremony. By the way, I stayed at the Ferrini Hotel at the corner of Franklin Avenue and NW Avenue, and you can stay here too. It's my turn to speak, bye-bye, and I'll send you the address in a moment. ”

Before Zhang Chen could say anything, Natalie hung up the phone.

Zhang Chen was quite surprised, most people are not familiar with the Intel Science Award. But after all, Zhang Chen has been at Stanford for two months, and many classes are not in vain.

The prize, known as the Little Nobel, is awarded to high school students who "have the potential to make a great contribution in the field of science."

To date, there are five Nobel laureates who have won the Intel Science Prize, and one Fields Medal.

Anyway, he lived anywhere, Zhang Chen read the address to Gan Jie and asked him to drive to the Ferrini Hotel.

The roads in downtown Los Angeles were very congested, and Ganjie stopped for an hour to finally find this Ferrini hotel.

Zhang Chen frowned after taking a look at this hotel, it is not too bad, but it is the level of domestic boutique express hotels in later generations.

How does Natalie live here?

Now that they have arrived, several people don't want to change places, park their cars, and check in.

As soon as I finished eating, Natalie's call arrived, "Hi, are you there? I just got back to the hotel, do you want to go out for a walk? ”

Zhang Chen thought for a while, "Okay, we'll see you in the lobby." ”

Zhang Chen found a coat to put on his body, and now it was a little cold at night, about fourteen or fifteen degrees. But the climate in Los Angeles is much better than San Francisco in winter, at least not as much rain.

But the air quality is much worse than San Francisco, and Zhang Chen suddenly feels like he is back in Bencheng, and from a distance, the visibility in Los Angeles seems to be not much different from Bencheng, and the night sky is also shrouded in a thin layer of haze.

After a while, Natalie also bounced into the hotel lobby.

Natalie didn't do any extra dressing and disguise, just wore a baseball cap and still wore a long-sleeved shirt and jeans.

Although the two of them behaved naturally on the phone before, they knew each other well, and they were still a little embarrassed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the awkward atmosphere was swept away, and Natalie straightened the baseball cap on her head, "OK, let's go." ”

Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows: "Where are you going?"

Natalie walked in front and jumped: "Lead by the nose?"

Zhang Chen's sentence is completely translated literally in English, "In the past, farming in the East mainly relied on cattle, and in order to make the cattle obedient, the peasants would wear a copper ring on the nose of the ox, so that the copper ring would be pulled, and the ox would walk in the direction led by the person." ”

Natalie frowned, revealing an unbearable expression: "Cruel." ”

Zhang Chen shrugged: "On the contrary, because cattle are the main production tools, even the greatest wealth of a farmer. Therefore, the cattle usually get a very good treatment, usually eat fine forage, if the cattle are sick, the farmer will be more anxious than their own illness, and will not let the cattle work too hard, for fear of the cattle tired and affect the life expectancy. ”

"In the villages of the East, a cow has to work for a farmer for more than 20 years from the age of three, which means that it can live for at least 30 years. The West is now mechanized production, cattle are raised to eat, and there are even three months of veal, these cattle certainly do not wear nose rings, but from birth to death, they only have a lifespan of three months to three years, and the bones after death are also ground into powder and made into feed for the same kind. This year's outbreak of mad cow disease is the reason. ”

Natalie looked at her toes: "My father is a doctor, once he brought home a chick, it was very cute, I fed it for two days, and then my father said that this chick was used for laser surgery experiments, I didn't understand anything at the time, and I was very interested to see how my father did the experiments." When the chick was dying, I saw its frightened eyes and realized that they were all life, so I started to go vegetarian. ”

Zhang Chen didn't want to continue to discuss this topic, discussing animal rights with foreigners was purely self-deprecating, and the values of the two sides were fundamentally different.

Zhang Chen looked around, "Uh, where are we going? Do you need me to ask the driver to drive?"

Natalie looked up and smiled, "No, there's a shuttle bus here." As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Chen into a minibus with more than a dozen people.

Most of the people in the car were excited to try it, and there were several couples huddled together and whispering.

After Zhang Chen sat down, he casually asked, "Where does this bus go?"

Natalie put her finger to her mouth and "shh

The minibus drove all the way up the Hollywood Hills, and although the Hollywood Hills were not high, Zhang Chen still felt a slight change in ear pressure.

Zhang Chen tilted his head and looked at Natalie, I have to say that Natalie Portman is the most beautiful now, with small medium-length chestnut curls tied back her head.

Although her complexion is not particularly white, she also shines with a healthy glow and delicacy, and her face is slightly baby fat, which makes her more playful and innocent than she is an adult.

The delicacy and depth between the eyebrows and eyes make every normal man intoxicated, and Zhang Chen is naturally no exception.

Natalie looked at Zhang Chen and smiled, "What are you thinking?"

Zhang Chen shrugged: "I kind of regret that I didn't cooperate with you that day, as if I missed something beautiful." ”

Natalie pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to say something when the minibus stopped with a brake.

The people in the car rushed out, and some people took out their cameras to take pictures. Zhang Chen looked around and found that this was a large lawn, much like a park, not far away there were three domed buildings connected as one, and there were many spotlights installed underground, which made the building very bright at night.

Natalie stretched her arms and waist, "This is the Griffith Observatory, pretty, isn't it?" ”

Zhang Chen came to the observatory for the first time, and looked around curiously, not knowing if it was the reason for being shortlisted for the Intel Science Award, Natalie's mood was obviously good, "I stayed in that hotel because it was the closest hotel to Griffith, and the shuttle bus could reach it in ten minutes." It's my favorite place to come in Los Angeles at night. How do you feel?"

I'm on a business trip today, so I can only change it, sorry.

I recommend you to watch an old movie, Beautiful Beauty, which is available in Tencent Video.
