Xu An and Brian's prison life is monotonous but regular, and they both enjoy it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the morning, Brian started practicing early in the morning, while Xu An practiced vocal skills and looked for musicality, and the two pointed out each other.
In the afternoon, Brian rested to teach Xu An about arrangement, and in the evening, Xu An usually wrote books, and Brian continued to practice dance.
Xu An recently opened a new book, after seeing Andrew's report, the title of the book is "The Count of Monte Cristo", framed, imprisoned, extraordinary cellmates, and the revenge he is looking forward to, is there any book more suitable for his current situation?
Not long after the new book was written, the first part was not finished, and Edmond Dantès had just been sent to the prison of the Château d'If on an isolated island, and had not yet met Father Faria, which can be said to be the most depressing and dreary part of the book.
At first, Brian was bored and took the manuscript to look at, but when he saw that Dantès was framed, and then the dark life in prison, he was immediately depressed, and threw the manuscript back to Xu An, and concluded that it was a garbage novel!
"Ann, no one will be willing to pay for your novel, even if someone reads it, they will come to scold you later!" Brian swore by it.
Xu An took the fountain pen brought by Catherine on the day of the prison visit, kept writing on the manuscript paper, and said without raising his head: "You haven't even read the first part, what qualifications do you have to say such things?" On the contrary, I dare say it must be a bestseller, and if you don't believe it, we can make a bet! ”
"Bet?" Brian stopped practicing sweating profusely, he was interested, he likes excitement, he likes gambling, prison is boring, and a bet can be regarded as an adjustment, but he is a little uneasy, Xu An is a best-selling author after all, and his writing level is still there, so he is a little uncertain now, "We'll bet when you're done?" ”
Xu An pursed his lips and snorted: "Don't you dare, forget it, in Las Vegas, do you have to wait for the dealer to turn over the hole cards before placing a bet?" ”
Brian nodded and said, "It seems to make sense, so what do you bet on first?" ”
"Well, if I lose, you can do whatever you want me to do, and I can teach you kung fu." Xu An smiled secretly, but his face was silent, he didn't plan to pit Brian, but it was just a temporary idea, "If you lose, I have a friend who likes music very much, you have to help her." ”
"How can I help?" Brian asked cautiously, "Besides, this friend of yours can't be as imperfect as you, I can't help it." ”
"No, no, no, she's a genius, just like you, just missing a chance!" Xu An said affirmatively, "For example, when you have a concert, ask her to be a guest, help her contact the record company and agent, and recommend her to your fans in public......"
"Stop! I see, if I lose, then I have one more mother? Is that right? Brian said angrily.
"Whatever you think, if you weren't gay, I wouldn't have introduced her to you!" Xu An put down his pen, looked at Brian and said, "In this way, you can investigate first, if her level is really poor, then our bet can be invalidated, how about it?" ”
"Well......" Brian hesitated, Xu An's request is quite unusual, in the entertainment industry, even couples or brothers and sisters may not be so supportive, this is simply an all-round escort for a newcomer, and she has to push her up, "Then tell me what else you can teach me, gambling is about equality, you can't take a penny to win my million!" ”
"Hah, a penny, a million?!" Xu An sneered, "You really dare to say anything, then I'll tell you what I know, I'm a journalism graduate, you definitely don't be interested in this, in addition, I'm also a writer, I can dance, kung fu, I'm very good at extreme sports, and finally, I can write songs......"
"Stop, stop!" Brian hurriedly interrupted Xu An, scratched his ear, and asked, "What did you just say, write songs?" I've only been teaching you for a few days, and it's become your skill, and then you're using it as a bet to bet on me, is that what you mean? ”
"Of course...... No! Xu An smiled proudly, "Why do you think I want to learn arranging from you?" In fact, I have a lot of good songs and good tunes in my head, but I can't express them, so I asked you for advice, to be honest, you have exchanged my unique break dance with an arrangement that many people will know, and you can be considered a profit, and you can't be too greedy! ”
Brian retorted: "It's not to be confused, it's a trade, you like it, but we're betting now, gambling, it's not the same thing at all, and I don't believe you can compose, what a good idea, a good tune, you and I are a fool?" ”
"Well, in that case, I've almost learned how to arrange music, all that's left is to practice and find musicality, and I'll write you a tune in a week, a week, and if it's appropriate, we'll talk about the bet again, how about it?"
Brian frowned, scratched his head, and looked a little entangled, he didn't believe that Xu An would write any good songs, but Xu An seemed confident, as if he would definitely agree to the bet, and his book would definitely sell well......
Do you agree to Xu An's bet now, or will you talk about it in a week? Or directly choose to let Xu An teach him Chinese kung fu?
Brian was entangled, he suddenly found that being a celebrity is not a good thing, everything about himself was dug up into the newspaper by the paparazzi, and this roommate is full of mystery, and the information of the two sides is completely unequal!
"Then we'll talk about it in a week!" Brian finally decided, "You show me your manuscript again!" ”
"No problem, but only today, you won't be able to read my manuscript from tomorrow, it's all for the sake of fairness!" Xu An smiled, "The final bet is that you can choose what I'm good at, or you can ask me to write you a few good songs, whatever you choose, how about it?" ”
"Good! Deal! ”
Brian made up his mind, he decided to help Xu An no matter what, just like Xu An said, he used the knowledge of arranging that many people understand, in exchange for the world's unique break dancing skills, which is not a fair thing.
What's more, Xu An taught him dance, in addition to wanting to learn to arrange, a large part of the reason was to let Brian have something to do and make his body tired to reduce the withdrawal reaction of drug addiction.
These Brians are all clear.
Unlike Xu An, who went from being angry and irritable to now resigning his fate, Brian didn't care about going to prison at all, and even felt a little novel, thinking that it was a cool experience, but now, he began to sincerely thank the judge and the jury who gave the sentence, they sent him to Romlag and let him meet this yellow-skinned guy!
This kind of ordinary relationship, without worship, without interest, with a kind of friendliness that is very common between people, is something that Brian has rarely experienced before.
From ordinary strangers, roommates, to friends, Brian enjoys the feeling very much.
