As the night deepened, the firewood in the bonfire was almost burned, and only the faint flames were still moving, and everyone went back one after another. The www.biquge.info is not a city that never sleeps like New York, where people usually go to bed at 11 o'clock and have to go to Austin if they want to find a place to party after 10 o'clock in the evening - even the bars close early, as is the life of a small town.

Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan said goodbye to the McCartneys, Liu Xiaoyan and Lily had a very happy chat tonight, so they also left together; Brandon escorted Jasmin home, and he won't go back to the ranch tonight, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law left with him; Justin and Finley didn't leave in a hurry, and sat by the campfire with Jessica and Sean in their hands, holding a beer in their hands, and were chatting about hunting......

Lu Li was originally tidying up the table, and after the party, tidying up was always the most troublesome, but at this moment, he suddenly stopped what he was doing, and quietly looked at the red faces against the backdrop of the bonfire, and the wind was whistling, echoing their excited discussions.

He always likes moments like this, the party is about to end, but three or five friends gather together, selflessly continue to talk, and the reluctant enthusiasm is always nostalgic. Earlier, it was too lively and noisy, and later, when the song ended, everyone was gone, and only one person was left, and now, not sooner or later, the mood was quieter than ever.

Lu Li suddenly wanted to write a report about the similarities and differences between Texas and New York to party. This is a very interesting topic, not only from the perspective of young people, but also from the perspective of foreigners, to examine the differences between the East Coast and the Central United States, the differences in culture, the differences in lifestyle, and the differences in the spiritual world.

As a Chinese/Chinese living in the cultural background of the United States, this is his disadvantage, black hair and yellow skin often make him look different, things will always be different, and it is also his advantage, he can observe the pulse of the times in this immigrant country and cultural melting pot from the perspective of an outsider.

"Fourteen, I'm ready to go back. Chloe's voice came along the wind, Lu Li turned his head, and then saw Chloe standing in the firelight with a smile on her face, the night wind was really too strong, blowing the long hair, and her face became blurred between the hair, but the bright eyes became clearer and clearer, crystal moving.

"Tonight's party was fun, the food was really good, the game was fun at the end, and I'm looking forward to seeing you sing and dance next time." Chloe said with a smile.

They later played drumming and passing the flowers -- in fact, similar games are also found in the United States, such as spinning wine bottles, such as truth or dare, but when the drumming and passing the flowers included the human element, it immediately became exciting. Jessica deliberately played a prank, holding the token in her hand and refusing to pass it, which made everyone scared, and finally when the drum beat was about to end, she passed the token out, and the person sitting next to her always got hit - and then everyone came up with different ideas for framing, and the drum and the flower suddenly had an American character.

Lu Li was cheated by Brandon once, and he was tricked, but everyone coaxed Lu Li to dance with electronic dance music, where can Lu Li dance so complicated, he can only learn to waltz in circles or twist his body, and finally, Lu Li sang a song "Jasmine" on the spot, which can be regarded as escaping.

No, Chloe still wants Lu Li to show off her "stunts".

Lu Li spread his hands helplessly, "If you want to see me make a fool of myself, there are still many opportunities, for example, let me ride a horse or something." ”

Chloe laughed, "You danced well at Lily's party last time." ”

"Spinning in circles and twisting your body are two different things. Lu Li's interpretation made Chloe uneasy again.

"Anyway, thank you. Chloe smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

After speaking, Chloe turned around and prepared to leave, Lu Li thought about it, stopped Chloe, then put down the things in his hand and followed, "I'll send you back." Chloe raised her eyebrows, looked at Lu Li with some surprise, which made him a little embarrassed, and wiped the sweat from her palms stiffly, "Robert has already gone back first, isn't he? ”

From the main house of Yundian Ranch to the main house of Marshall Valley Ranch, it is about two kilometers, not too far, but not so close.

Chloe nodded, smiling like a flower, "Okay." ”

The two of them walked out side by side, the bonfire behind them was still burning, but it began to get smaller and smaller with the footsteps, as if the night was falling, enveloping the flames in it, and finally swallowing it. Fortunately, however, the bright stars and frosty moonlight illuminated the way home.

"You can't see a night sky like this in New York. Lu Li couldn't help but sigh.

Chloe also tilted her head and pursed her lips, "What is New York like?" she was a little curious. As an authentic cowgirl, Chloe has traveled to a lot of big cities, but never really lived there.

"When you look up, you see straight lines of tall buildings, dividing the sky into different grids, towering buildings obscuring most of the sky, and bright lights making the night high and far, like Atlantis in the depths of the ocean, we live in a glass enclosure." ”

Chloe listened quietly to Lu Li's words, and couldn't help but be a little distracted, his eyes fell on the sparse side face, and suddenly, he lowered his head and showed a big smile at her, "In New York, that city will make you feel small, as small as a speck of dust, here, this town will make you feel strong, as if your shoulders can support the whole sky." ”

Chloe could see that those dark eyes were shining brightly, even brighter than the stars, lighting up the whole world, which made her heart skip a beat, and she avoided her gaze a little embarrassed, "But listening to your description, New York is a little yearning." Chloe said in a panic, hiding her embarrassment.

Lu Li chuckled twice, the deep laughter rolled in her throat, like mellow red wine, exuding a charming aroma, Chloe only heard Lu Li's voice flickering far and near, "Maybe, someone likes the city ......" The words were fragmented, not very clear, all the pieces could not be spliced together, so she had no way to continue, she could only cough lightly twice, hiding her embarrassment, "So you mean, you like it here?"

"Yes, I love it here. Lu Li's voice was full of energy, so that Chloe couldn't help but want to raise her head, "I plan to replant that vineyard, I have dreamed before, if I can plant a vineyard, it will be very happy." Speaking of this, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "You know, as Orientals, we always have some romantic ideas about the West, and vineyards and castles are one of them. ”

"It's like we're doing with kung fu and kanji, isn't it?" Chloe's attention finally returned, playfully.

Lu Li was stunned, then nodded, "Yes, it should be the same thing." Lu Li tilted his head and looked at Chloe curiously, "I thought you had a limited understanding of Chinese/Chinese culture, didn't your impression of Asia stay more on RB?"

It's okay on the east and west coasts, after all, it's a big city, and the degree of cultural transmission is relatively high, but Texas, as a central state, is an exceptionally conservative state, that's another story. In fact, the same is true in China, where the degree of cultural integration is relatively higher on the eastern coast, while the central or western regions are relatively worse. Especially rural villages like New Bronfels.

Chloe wrinkled her nose and showed a look of disdain, "Don't you know that this is the age of the Internet? ”

"You mean, you've searched for China?" Lu Li grabbed Chloe's words and said with interest.

Oops, caught. Chloe screamed in her heart, but when she thought about it, she looked calm, "Of course." But there was a sly glint in his eyes, "My next-door neighbor has a stranger, and it's also an outsider, isn't it necessary to investigate in advance?"

Lu Li raised his hand to surrender, "I can't refute it." “

"What part of China/country is your hometown......" Chloe and Lu Li chatted while walking, the night road home seemed not so far away, the sound of the hunting wind became the accompaniment of the ears, the two kilometers away, in a blink of an eye, came to an end, and the milky yellow light of Chloe's house could already be seen in the distance, dispelling a large area of darkness around.

"So, this is my home. Chloe was the first to stop, and when she looked up, her eyes reflected in the stars, flowing quietly like a river of crystals, but dazzling.

Lu Li's eyes saw the soft red lips, and unconsciously pursed his lips, "Then I think my work as a flower messenger has come to an end." Chloe chuckled, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Flower Protector. Chloe's laughter couldn't stop at all, "It sounds like a princess and a knight or something." ”

"So, are you implying that you are a princess?" Lu Li's teasing made Chloe's apricot eyes widen, "Aren't I like it?"

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and said boldly, "You are more like a female knight. ”

Chloe was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly, she still liked knights more than delicate princesses, "So, are you implying that you are a prince?"

"Aren't princes all straw bales that are good for nothing but a face?" Lu Li's reaction made Chloe laugh out loud, looking at that bright smile, the night began to surge, and before the brain could react, the body had already made a move, taking half a step forward, narrowing the distance between the two people, leaning forward slightly, trying to shorten the distance between the lip flap.

Whew, whew...... The strong sound of the wind blows the breath of spring.
