The luster of olive oil flowed on the tender red meat, the fire at the end of the eye was constantly flickering, the aroma of roasting had not yet been released, the smell of dead branches burning in the air made people feel a deep warmth, and the moisture and water vapor precipitated at night retreated like a tide, and involuntarily, the gluttonous worms in the stomach were seduced and rolled on the ground.

Justin lit the small torch in his hand and threw it directly on the bonfire, and with a "bang", the whole fire burst up, and the bright red tongue of fire fluttered outwards with teeth and claws, and the hideous face was so close that it seemed to be able to burn everything around it at any time - the lambs on the shelves became their first prey, and the olive oil that fell down made a sizzling sound, and the flames became more and more open, and the heat that hit the face made people can't help but retreat.

Through the bright/sunny firelight, Lu Li and Chloe's eyes inadvertently touched together, and those deep eyes flowed with bright light, delicate and beautiful like flowers. However, just a contact, the corners of Chloe's mouth outlined a graceful arc, and then she turned around, pulled Laura and the other female companions next to her, and turned away in a bustling manner, leaving only a back for the cowboys as a thought.

"Man, you've only been on the scene for less than ten minutes, and you've won the favor of the new Braunfels, tell me, how did you do it?" Turning his head, Lu Li saw Edward's face that was magnified to the extreme—he familiarly rested his chin on Lu Li's shoulder, and his eyes reflected the blazing fire, reflecting the hint of banter and ridicule.

Lu Li was really taken aback, but then he couldn't help but chuckle, "Be a foreigner?" The subtext is that he is just a stranger, and Chloe's enthusiasm is just a sign of friendliness.

Along with Lu Li's words, Edward looked Lu Li up and down, but his expression became more and more confused, "Is there anything wrong with cowboys?

"Flutter. Lu Li laughed directly, "It's not that there's anything wrong with cowboys, it's that it's all cowboys here, and suddenly a foreigner came, isn't it new?" Just like your current behavior." ”

Edward saw Lu Li's flirtatious eyes, and immediately straightened up, "Hey, man, I don't like Brokeback Mountain. The expression that seemed to be like an electric shock caused everyone around to burst into laughter, and then Edward saw Lu Li's smug expression, and then realized that he had been pranked, but Edward didn't mind, pinching his nose, "Okay, I know, it's like E-T came to the town, everyone feels fresh." ”

Comparing Lu Li to the alien in "Alien E.T" is really a ...... Interesting choice.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Edward's "counterattack", and then he raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, slowly probed towards Edward, and made ET's classic move, which caught Edward off guard and looked back at his other partners.

The cowboys all started to cheer, whistling and roaring mixed with the crackling of the campfire.

Edward hesitated, but also stretched out his right index finger, and slowly poked towards Lu Li's right index finger. But just when he was about to make contact, Lu Li stood up straight, waved his right hand, as if he was swatting a fly, with a calm expression, "Hey, Justin, I've been here for a while, I think it's best to say hello to the master, would you like to introduce me to it?"

…… Quack, quack. A flock of crows flew over Edward's head, and all the other cowboys froze in place.

Justin almost burst out laughing, but he held back his strength and pretended to be calm, "Of course it's fine." Then, Justin walked around the campfire and joined Lu Li, and the two walked side by side in the direction of the house. After only a few steps, there was a sensational burst of laughter behind him, attracting the attention of everyone in the entire square.

"So, are you really going to visit the McCartneys?" Justin turned his head to look at Lu Li, his gaze flickering in the night. In just one afternoon, it was obviously not enough for Justin to understand Lu Li, seeing that Lu Li was advancing and retreating appropriately just now, Justin couldn't tell whether Lu Li was joking or serious for a while, and there was inevitably a little more scrutiny in his sight.

Lu Li did not shy away from meeting Justin's gaze, and nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, I'm a guest, and they're the hosts, aren't they?"

Justin tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment and nodded slightly, "Indeed." In order to hide his embarrassment, Justin asked, "I just heard that you came to take over the beech ranch?" Lu Li was the only outsider tonight, and he was also a foreigner, and the news spread like wings in a blink of an eye.

"Why do you feel like I'm like a big capitalist invasion? Lu Li's response made Justin smile rarely, and Justin shook his head in denial, "No, I mean, I know Liz." If you know you're coming to the beech pasture, I'll be able to act as a guide this afternoon. ”

"So, I was misled in the wrong direction by Chloe, and it's all your fault?" Lu Li's unconventional answer made Justin's expression more and more relaxed, and a muffled chuckle came out of his chest, "Are you sure it's not my assist?" There was not the slightest hint or ridicule in those sincere eyes, but the meaning in the words could not be more obvious.

Before Lu Li could answer, the two of them had already walked to the front of the house, "Lily, Lily?" The footsteps were still on the porch steps, Justin had already shouted loudly at the top of his voice, Lu Li swallowed the words, followed Justin's line of sight, and then saw a chubby figure raise his face, with a little flour on his face, although he raised his head, his hands were still busy kneading the dough on the board in front of him, the kind smile bathed in the milky yellow light, warm and kind.

Inexplicably, Lu Li remembered his mother on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

"Justin, why aren't you helping? Those lads are not reliable at all, and I look forward to you helping to organize and lead everyone to get the job done. Lily McCartney's loud voice shook her eardrums, and the other people who were busy next to her also greeted each other, and the chaotic voices were endless, but Lily's words were still accurately transmitted to Lu Li's ears, which showed its power.

Justin stepped forward and gave Lily a hug, "Don't worry, things are on track." Then he turned around, "Lily, this is Lu." Lily's hand paused, and she looked at Justin with some confusion, as if she didn't quite understand, and Justin added, "Liz's ranch." ”

Lily suddenly realized, put the dough down, and directly hugged Lu Li into his arms, caught off guard, Lu Li looked dazed, didn't understand what was going on at all, tried to struggle twice, but didn't want Lily to hug it tighter, the strong hug almost made Lu Li breathless, he raised his head with difficulty, looked at Justin, but found that Justin had a shallow smile on his face, and there was a hint of encouragement in his eyes.

What the hell is this?

Lu Li had already begun to think about whether he should give Lily an over-the-shoulder fall before he was about to lose his breath.

Then, Lily finally let go of him, and her chubby hands held Lu Li's cheeks, and the warm palms made Lu Li a little panicked - he hadn't been treated like a child like this for many years, but then Lily laughed, "Look at me, how careless." Lily let go of her hands, and the flour-stained hands wiped them on her apron boldly, and then picked up a clean cloth next to her, ready to wipe it for Lu Li.

Lu Li hurriedly took the cloth, thanked him with a smile, and took care of it himself.

Lily didn't mind, she looked at Lu Li standing in front of her seriously, and sighed with a sigh in her eyes, which made Lu Li a little confused, "We've met?"

"Haha. Lily's hearty laugh made her eardrums ache again, "No, we haven't met, but ......" Lily looked Lu Li up and down, "but you're what I have in mind." You know, Liz and I have talked about you, and more than once. You're exactly what she says you are. ”

The strings in his heart were plucked, and Lu Li recalled the photo album he saw in the beech pasture, but his mouth still showed politeness, "I hope it's not a bad word." ”

"No, of course not. Lily patted Lu Li's arms vigorously, as if a mother had seen a child returning after a long absence, "Liz's departure was peaceful, and there was no pain. Lu Li slightly lowered his chin, regardless of whether or not he was involved in the beech pasture, hearing about the death of a friend, his heart was still a little low, Lily's words could bring some comfort to a greater or lesser extent, "Good boy, are you staying in Liz's ranch tonight? Otherwise, you can sleep here." Our loft rooms are ready to move in at any time. ”

In the face of Lily's enthusiasm, Lu Li was a little overwhelmed, "Uh...... Cole has already arranged it, and I'll be fine there. If Cole doesn't take care of him, I'll call for help. ”

Lu Li's witty words made Lily laugh out loud and shouted at Justin, "I like this kid." Then Lily shouted outside, "Ronald, Ronald!" The lion's roar was so powerful that Justin stopped Lily, "I'll take Fourteen to meet Ronald." ”

Lily didn't have any surprised expression, chanting Lu Li's name, "Fourteen, fourteen......" and then laughed brightly, "Yes, you take him to visit Ronald, and then prepare some delicious food to entertain Fourteen." Hurry!" Lily patted Justin the back and pushed Justin and Lu Li out.

Lu Li took two steps and looked back to catch a glimpse of Lily wiping the corners of her eyes with her apron, but then he and Justin re-entered the outside, the shaking screen door blurring the vision.
