Chapter 974: The Lower Nine Streams (2)

Because of USC's proximity to Hollywood, its historic red-brick buildings and Ivy League-like campus scenes are so beautiful that they have been used in thousands of films, television, commercials, music videos, and are the most common locations for filmmakers to "play" other universities, such as Harvard University and Oxford University in movies and television..... So yes, what you see in most movies is fake Oxford, Harvard, ......

The school has an elegant antiquity, like a college built in the jungle, and the entire campus is covered with lush trees, and it is refreshing to walk through such a poetic campus. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Xiaoyu wore retro round-framed gold-wire glasses and combed a middle with a little curl, this hairstyle is extremely difficult to control, if you change to a person with low appearance to make this hairstyle, it looks like a traitor's head.

But at this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu looks very elegant and literary, Dior's slim little bee white shirt and black ripped jeans are not too ostentatious, but also simple and fashionable, walking on the Southern California campus under the blue sky and white clouds, it is very attractive to watch, and even several unrestrained blonde beauties came up to greet Cheng Xiaoyu and ask for contact information.

Although Americans' aesthetics are biased towards sunshine, handsome Asian guys like Cheng Xiaoyu are still very rare. What's more, the USC Film School is not a school full of handsome men and women like the New York University Tisch.School.of.Arts, which is known as the cradle of the Oscars, and the USC Film School does not have students who study acting, all students who study filmmaking, and the USC Film School does not have a so-called directing department, if someone tells you that he graduated from the directing department of the USC Film School, it must be a liar......

Cheng Xiaoyu rejected a few girls who enthusiastically wanted to lead the way for him, walked alone to the fountain in front of the film center building, and walked around the fountain with a bronze statue without seeing Catherine, so he sent a text message saying that he had arrived.

This time, Catherine did not ask Cheng Xiaoyu to wait for half an hour, but quickly replied: She was in a coffee bar called "Gone.with.the.wind", about 500 meters north of the film center building, and asked Cheng Xiaoyu to come directly.

Cheng Xiaoyu reluctantly sent Norton the address again, and then turned around and walked towards the north, fortunately the distance was not too far, Cheng Xiaoyu walked for only a few minutes and saw the "Gone.with.the.wind" with a green and white signboard, the milky white wooden door looked a little mottled, giving people a feeling of age, and the frosted checked glass made people unable to see the situation inside.

Cheng Xiaoyu pushed the door and smelled the sweet smell of cigars mixed with alcohol, not the suffocating weird smell of Huaxia bars, this kind of smell was very comfortable.

The hall reverberated with melodious jazz saxophones, with gray sofas and black low tables in them, and many well-dressed people sat scattered, either reading books or discussing something in whispers......

The dark oak bar is on the side of the entrance, the bartender in a black vest and white shirt is bartending, a bunch of yellow spotlights hit it, drawing a circle like a full moon, each circle corresponds to a barstool, and the wine rack behind the bar is filled with a variety of liquors, obviously not only selling coffee, but also cocktails......

Cheng Xiaoyu looked around, and in the corner of the window, he saw Catherine facing him from the side. Blanchett, whose handsome mountain-like face exudes a breathtaking view in the light, is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a black white collar collar and a seemingly casual, but very ladylike sitting on the sofa reading a book......

Cheng Xiaoyu slowed down and walked in the direction of Catherine, and when he was about to reach his destination, a handsome man in a black suit with curly hair took the lead, grabbed ahead of Cheng Xiaoyu, and walked to Catherine. Blanchett's side.

Cheng Xiaoyu stopped and hesitated, and immediately turned around and leaned on the high stool on the side, if other men were present, it would be very detrimental to the implementation of his plan, so he wanted to see what was going on first......

"Hey! Catherine, I see you're drinking here alone, who are you waiting for? The man in the black suit spoke in an authentic New York accent, and the smile on his face was sunny and sincere, like a traditional English gentleman.

Catherine took her eyes off the book in her hand, looked up at the handsome young man in a black suit with a straight posture and said, "It's none of your business, Chast......"

The young man named Chaster didn't mind Catherine's unenthusiastic tone at all, bowed slightly, and said in an inquiring tone: "I want to invite you to a drink..... Although the tone was inquiring, after finishing speaking, the tall and thin man in the black suit turned to the waiter with an unquestioning attitude and said, "Please have two glasses of smoked martini.....

Catherine closed the book, raised her head slightly, looked at Chaste and said, "Thank you, Chast..... But I don't need ..... Don't waste energy on me, I think our relationship is only classmates, and we can only be classmates......."

Chaster was not discouraged by Catherine's words, and said seriously: "Catherine, don't define something so simply..... You said we could only be classmates, but I think you're going to be my girlfriend...... Don't rush to deny it, no one knows what's going to happen tomorrow, do you? Then Chaster waved his hands in the void to conjure a rose, and then he bent down very gracefully, handed it to Catherine, and said, "It took me months to practice this hand..... I hope you will accept this rose that represents my heart......"

If it were a different girl, even if she would not agree to Chaster's courtship, she would not refuse this rose full of caution, but Catherine frowned, she was actually most disgusted by stalkers and rhetorical people, so she said: "Chaster, I know that it takes a certain amount of courage for you to say such things in the face of me, but do not take what I am about to say as if it were directed at you......."

Chaster is obviously also a veteran of pickling girls, and knowing what Catherine wants to say, he immediately interrupted Catherine's words and said, "If what you are about to say is to hit me, please don't say it...... You know it's useless to say it...... I'm going to stick with it...... Your beauty, your wisdom, and your beautiful eyes are as beautiful as I can't give up my heartbeat......"

Catherine still responded very politely: "Thank you for the compliment, but sorry, I'm not interested in you at all......"

Cheng Xiaoyu thought that if Su Yuxi was here, he would not pay attention to this kind of person at all, and would not even raise his eyes to look at him, either ignore him and continue to read, or get up and leave.......

Chester shrugged his shoulders and sat on the arm of the couch and said, "Catherine, I think you're too self-contained...... I don't want to do anything now, I just want to be able to be a friend with you, just an ordinary friend, you always reject anyone and thousands of miles away, it is true that you have the qualifications to be proud, but when you reject others like this, you are also rejecting yourself...... We come to university not only to learn knowledge, but also to learn how to get along with others and society, don't we? ”

Catherine was about to speak, and at this time, Cheng Xiaoyu, who had roughly judged the relationship between this man and Catherine, walked over directly, he patted Chast's shoulder, and then said politely: "Then this gentleman, do you want Catherine to give up her pride and be mediocre like other ordinary women?" ”

Chast turned his head to look at Cheng Xiaoyu in some surprise, but Cheng Xiaoyu didn't look at him, just smiled at Catherine and said, "I'm sorry, dear, I'm a little late, your school is as beautiful as you, so I patronized the scenery and forgot the time......"

Catherine looked at Cheng Xiaoyu smiling and pretending to be her boyfriend, knowing that he was here to relieve herself, she hesitated slightly, but still followed Cheng Xiaoyu's words and said, "Forget it this time..... But I won't give you a chance to say sorry next time......." For Catherine, at least Cheng Xiaoyu is not a pestering person.....

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, and then said to Chast, who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa next to him: "Then this gentleman, can you let me go?" ”

Chast stared at Cheng Xiaoyu vigorously, then turned his head and asked Catherine, "Who is he?" ”

Catherine had long been a little impatient with the son of her father's world friend, and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of his harassment, so she replied coldly: "It doesn't matter who he is to you...... Thank you very much for your concern, but can you not disturb my appointment next? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu spread out his hands and made a helpless expression, Chast stood up with a cold face, glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu, and then brushed his sleeves and left.

Cheng Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and pretended to be nervous and said, "How am I acting?" ”

Catherine said noncommittally: "As a director, you are okay with your acting......

Cheng Xiaoyu sat down on the sofa, then looked at Catherine and said, "To be honest, for a man, it really takes a little courage to talk to you..... Not only because of your beauty, but also because you have a hard time communicating, so do you feel that you are responsible in this regard? ”

Catherine didn't expect Cheng Xiaoyu to ask herself such a question, so she just snorted coldly: "The exam is also difficult, the work is also difficult, and life is also difficult, who do you think the responsibility will be?" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't expect Catherine to be so sharp-tongued, her pride was a brand in her bones, she smiled and said: "Although I can't judge whose responsibility it is, I think survival is an endless struggle, a beautiful and mean girl like you is a mountain, a wise and cunning old fox like your grandfather is a mountain, we will always have prejudices and misunderstandings when we look at others, all we have is ignorance and unreasonableness, in addition to strong hormones, Conquering such a mountain is an irresistible challenge for anyone, but I don't think you're a problem at all if you look closely......"

Catherine didn't expect that Cheng Xiaoyu not only dared to make fun of herself in the movie, but also dared to say that her grandfather was an old fox in front of her, so she raised her eyes to look at Cheng Xiaoyu and sneered: "Really? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Catherine without any timidity and said: "Of course, you see that all the signals you send are the same, you don't wear earrings, you don't wear high heels, and your clothes tend to be conservative...... Pride is your appearance, and your essence is not to admit defeat...... You can't tolerate failure in anything......"

Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at the martini that was resting in front of Catherine, and then continued: "You ordered the gray goose martini..... Drinking such a drunken liquor is a sign that you are under a lot of stress right now...... If that's not clear to you, we can go on and I can say more......."

Catherine straightened up slightly, let her back off the sofa pillow, and sneered: "Some overconfident people always have illusions, do you know what it is?" It is that they can't distinguish between reality and fantasy, and most of these people are indulged in the world of self-consciousness and can't extricate themselves, and firmly believe that they are the right ......"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled "hehe", pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then asked rhetorically: "Am I confident?" ”

Not to be outdone, Catherine asked, "You asked me to meet just to discuss my personality with me?" ”

"No, Miss Catherine, I think it's nice for you to do that..... After all, in this year, there are too many people who are the same, and most people can't insist on being themselves, but are accommodating to the people, environment and world around them....... In fact, as long as you don't carve two words on your face, 'fuck off'..... I think you're actually pretty good guy....."

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's last words, Catherine. Blanchett couldn't help laughing, she leaned over, gracefully picked up Martini the gray goose on the table, and said, "Say it! Is there anything you need me to help with? ”
