"God, I now know what it's like to eat a whole cow. Tony patted his stomach with a look of lovelessness, and looked up and sighed, "But why can't I stop?"

Barbecue parties, which are really common in the United States, are also held in the courtyard of many ordinary families, and gatherings of friends, relatives or colleagues are the easiest and most convenient means of partying. However, tonight's barbecue party was different, to be precise, everything was the same, and they were all familiar with it, except for Lu Li's special sauce.

But it's the little difference that makes the whole night special.

Tony couldn't remember how much he had eaten, at least two steaks, two drumsticks, four chicken wings, a piece of lamb, and all sorts of vegetables. He has no interest in vegetables, but the vegetables after the barbecue are so delicious that he can't stop at all. Oh, and three beers.

"Hiccup. Tony couldn't help but burp, he felt as if the food had overflowed to his throat, his hands, mouth, and nose were full of that special spice taste, and after drinking a large sip of Coke, the whole person sighed with satisfaction, and before his brain realized it, Tony reached out and picked up another bunch of leeks, and continued to fight for three hundred rounds, and then he heard an exclamation.

Reflexively, Tony followed everyone's line of sight, and then saw Adam's extremely bold action - he sprinkled a large handful of chili peppers on the steak in his hand, which looked like chili peppers don't need money, and after sprinkling, he flicked his fingertips, and his skillful movements looked like a veteran.

"Adam, are you sure?" Tony frowned, but at the same time the smile on his lips went up, and he couldn't help but laugh when he made up for the expression on Adam's face after he stuffed the whole steak into his mouth.

Adam didn't care, and was intently flipping his steak. Lu Li, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile, "This is his choice, you don't have to worry." If he wastes food, we force him to eat it. Those understatement words sent chills down my spine, and I couldn't help but start to make up the picture.

Adam didn't realize that he was already "in danger", picked up the steak, showed a satisfied expression, and then stabbed it with a fork, without cutting, and directly began to tear it with his teeth, as if Aquaman was eating directly with a trident, extremely rough.

Randy spread another pile of food in the barbecue net, then walked over to the campfire, looked at Adam's grinning face, and gave sincere advice, "Be careful." ”

But then Randy realizes that not only is it hot, but Adam's whole face is wrinkled, and he keeps sticking out his tongue from the spicy side, and then gulps down the beer, and even then, it still can't be relieved, like a fire-breathing dragon, snorting and panting. The funny look made everyone laugh.

Tony continued to cheer, "Adam, Adam, Adam!" and everyone began to cheer together, as if Adam was challenging the Guinness Book of Records, and the atmosphere of the whole party was surging and lively.

Adam received encouragement, and took another bite hard, so spicy that he was sweating profusely, spicy and tearful, and even the snot remained, but the embarrassed appearance made everyone start to cry wolf, and even Brandon whistled, which also made Adam more and more courageous, and actually took another bite.

Scarlett finally couldn't stand it anymore and said helplessly, "Adam, they deliberately provoked you. You don't want to eat it, you see, your lips are swollen. ”

But Adam just waved his hand, and his mouth was full of oil and bright red, and under the red flames, it was really ...... Terrible. The steak wasn't fully cooked — apparently, Adam didn't like to eat it fully cooked, and instead deliberately left some blood streaks behind, so the noodles were dripping with blood.

"Adam was already addicted to it. Cole bumped Lu Li with his shoulder, "He's already started to perform, and our ranch has been a lot of actors recently." The ridiculous words made Lu Li laugh, and Cole himself laughed heartily, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on everyone, the fiery atmosphere, the cheerful laughter, everything was so comfortable and so beautiful, "I think, we can have more barbecue parties like this in the future." Simple, yet lively. ”

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "No problem, you can do it at any time." Everybody can join, I can be liberated, that's good. After speaking, Lu Li shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "This kind of party is much simpler." ”

"Remember? The first night you were at the ranch, we had a party like this. Cole laughed as he spoke, "You were wearing canvas shoes that day, and you looked like a city boy." ”

"I'm wearing canvas shoes today, too. Lu Li raised his feet, he returned from the plane today, and he was naturally dressed as the simplest and lightest, and he still hadn't adapted to the daily outfit of cowboy boots.

Cole chuckled, "Shows you're still a city boy." ”

"I ate roast suckling pig and roast whole lamb that night, right?" Lu Li's memory also awakened, it seemed to be a story from a long, long time ago, "Then, Edward and Justin also sang, and I still remember that I was scared by Justin at that time, and I never knew that he could actually play the harmonica." ”

"If someone plays guitar, I'm willing to play the harmonica. Justin sat on the other side of Lu Li, with Finley in between, and Lu Li's conversation with Cole was not deliberately suppressed, so he heard it at once.

"It's a pity that Edward didn't come here today. Lu Li said regretfully, today is just the cowboys of the ranch gathered together, he didn't even shout Lily and Ronald, Justin and Finley came by accident.

"Wait, I remember there's a guitar in the main house. Cole remembered, "Haven't you been practicing before?" I think you've practiced pretty well. Ke Er cast a verifying gaze at Lu Li, Lu Li opened his mouth, and was about to defend himself, Ke Er had already stood up and trotted towards the main house, "Cole!" Lu Li only had time to shout, but Ke Le didn't care at all, waved his hand without looking back, and rushed into the main house in a blink of an eye.

"Try" the song, Lu Li has been learning the guitar in order to play it for Jiang Lingyu, which is not what he is good at, and he has to learn it from scratch. Due to the limited time, he learned very limited sheet music, except for the basic chords, he only learned a few pieces by force, and beyond that, he was still a layman.

Now, he was suddenly asked to play the guitar?Lu Li felt a dull pain in his temples, why did he have a sense of foreboding?

Before a few breaths went up and down, Cole rushed out with a guitar, and the appearance of the wind and fire made everyone's eyes come to him, including Adam who was eating steak and Randy who was barbecuing, everyone asked Cole with their eyes, and Cole simply explained, "Fourteen wants to play the guitar." ”

"Roar, roar!" everyone began to cheer, and the atmosphere became enthusiastic again, like a crackling campfire, Tony even whistled, Jessica and Scarlett raised their hands and clapped vigorously, and Finley, who was sitting next to him, also kept crying wolf.

Lu Li suddenly had difficulty riding the tiger and laughed dumbly.

Taking over the guitar from Cole's hand, Lu Li shook his head helplessly, but he didn't continue to twist it, even if he made a fool of himself, it didn't hurt to make a fool of himself in front of his friends. Lu Li turned his head to look at Finley and Justin, "I said in advance, I only learned five songs, my skills are so bad, the only time I performed before, I guess it's a bit funny." Lu Li said honestly, making everyone laugh, "However, tonight is a special day, and I hope to be able to give a small gift." ”

"What? what special day?" Tony was a clever man, and immediately realized that Lu Li had something to say, and asked urgently.

Lu Li didn't speak, just looked at Finley and Justin with his eyes, Finley grinded his teeth with shame and annoyance, Justin stood up and said calmly, "We're getting married." ”

One second, two seconds...... "Congratulations!" "Oh my God, you're so good at keeping secrets." "God, toast, toast!" "Happy event, really happy event!" Everyone raised the drink or alcohol in their hands and collectively began to celebrate, Randy and Tony, who didn't have time to take the wine, raised the food in their hands and shouted, "Congratulations!"

In a word, the barbecue party reached the high/tide of all previous acts.

Justin and Finley also graciously raised their beers in their hands to express their gratitude.

Looking at the pair of friends around me, I witnessed them all the way from friends to lovers, and finally went to promise each other, there were no ups and downs, no magnificent waves, everything was just plain as water, but it was real and moving. Life is so simple, but it is so beautiful, Lu Li can't help but think of Josh and Lawrence, and can't help but think of Lily and Ronald, as well as Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, Liu Xiaoyan and Li Huainan, and Fred, and Alice, and Lillian, and everyone he meets in his life.

The shape of happiness has no fixed pattern, but it is always similar, as long as you really calm down and savor life, you can depict it.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and finally turned into a low smile in his chest, Lu Li took a big sip of beer, and then held the guitar in his arms, "Jesus Christ, I can't believe that I am really ready to play the guitar." "At the beginning, it was just a plan for the confession, after the confession ended, Lu Li didn't play anymore, and after a few months passed, he was almost forgotten, "Let me think, let me think." ”

Randy said with a smile, "It's rare to see Fourteen nervous once. I was not nervous about the negotiation with Whole Foods Market. ”

"It's so rare. Jessica also quipped, "You say, Daisy sees it, will she envy us?"

"If you keep interrupting my train of thought, I may not be able to continue. Lu Li's voice made everyone close their mouths, and Tony also made a gesture of zipping up his mouth, and everyone's eyes were full of smiles.
