In New York, the autumn afternoon sun is warm and pleasant, and the cool breeze carries a refreshing breath. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Catherine put on her cooking gloves and leaned on the window to look around, then went back to the kitchen to continue her busy work, there were many people in the room, in addition to Catherine and his wife, Chris and Matthew, Taylor, Bruce, Rachel and Emily, etc.

The ladies were busy in the kitchen and dining room, and the men were gathering and chatting.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a car honking outside the door, several men looked out a few times, and the ladies simply dropped their work and ran out together, Xu Tianrui muttered with some dissatisfaction: "When you get out of prison, why do you look like a hero?" ”

Chris was amused by the way the father and son got along, he shook his head and walked out, "Ann is back, you don't come out to see?" ”

Xu Tianrui hesitated for a moment, and then went out, looking a little reluctant, but his eyes were full of concern.

"Oh, my darling, let mom see, is it thin?" Catherine hugged her son, happy and excited, the salad dressing on the gloves smeared Xu An's face, she still hugged her son and kissed her big mouthful.

"Mom, I'm worried about you." Xu An hugged his mother and smiled at his friends behind him.

Chris walked over, patted Xu An on the shoulder, and asked, "An, why did you come back so late?" ”

"Who would have thought that there were so many reporters outside the prison, if it weren't for Lance's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out by now!" Xu Anxin said with palpitations.

Recalling the scene when he just came out of the prison gate, he was still a little afraid, he was originally happily ready to go home from prison, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by long guns and short cannons immediately after going out.

"Ha, isn't this our best-selling author, Mr. Xu An, an upstart in the publishing industry?" Xu Tianrui said in a strange voice, "Seriously, how does it feel to be a celebrity?" ”

"Daddy!" Xu An ignored the sarcasm in his father's tone, hugged Xu Tianrui fiercely, and said with a smile: "I feel terrible, I haven't felt good in prison yet, there is no freedom there, but at least it's quiet!" ”

"Humph!" Xu Tianrui was hugged by his son, and he couldn't say the rest of his words.

"Emily." Xu An looked at the girl in front of him and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I missed your performance." ”

Emily shook her head, stepped forward generously, and hugged Xu An, "It's okay, you said you would prepare a new script for us!" ”

Emily and Bruce failed in their troupe's performances, which were commonplace on Broadway, with people failing, leaving, and more ready to start over every day.

"Of course, I'm almost ready, now it's just the arrangement!" "This can be said to be a piece of music that was completed in a prison cell, because the most critical part of its arrangement, I learned from my fellow inmates!" ”

"Brian Barry?" Emily squinted her eyes and laughed, "You're going to make a lot of Brian's fans jealous, and if the judges allow it, I think they'll be willing to go to jail instead of you." ”

Xu An shook his head and said, "Whoever wants to go, Bryan is ...... alone now."

"Ann, welcome back." Taylor stood in front of the door, looking at Xu An with sparkling eyes, she pursed her lips, and also stepped forward to hug Xu An hard, and then kissed him on the cheek, "I'm really happy to see you." ”

Xu An recalled the warm touch on his face, looked at Taylor, and said, "Can I say that I am more happy to see you?" ”

Taylor laughed happily, "Of course you can!" With that, she glanced at Emily beside her, and intuitively, she sensed the threat of the other party.

"Well, can anyone tell me why so many of us are standing in the doorway like fools? Isn't there a place at home? Catherine said happily, her mouth hadn't closed since she saw Xu An, "I have to say it again, Ann, welcome home, I have prepared a big meal for you, you need to go upstairs immediately to take a shower and change into a new dress, what does this mean?" What does this say, my dear? ”

"Go and get rid of bad luck, well, it means to sweep away mildew." Xu Tianrui said.

"Then I should step over a brazier, Dad, why didn't you prepare it for me?" Xu Andao, "I know that China has this tradition!" Don't try to fool me! ”

"I'm afraid that's going to burn you!" Xu Tianrui glared at his son angrily.

The group talked and laughed and returned home, and Xu An was immediately driven upstairs by Catherine to continue taking a bath.

Smelling the familiar smell of home and looking at the decorations in front of him that he had lived in for many years, he couldn't help but shout: "I'm back!" ”

Downstairs, when everyone heard Xu An's shout, they couldn't help but smile, no one would like a place like a prison, only Xu Tianrui was distressed and angry and said: "He brought it all on himself!" ”

Chris disagreed with Xu Tianrui's statement and said: "You can't blame Ann for this, Andrew has gone too far, and no one can bear it." ”

"Are you still a lawyer?!" Xu Tianrui glared at Chris and said, "If something happens, you can use violent means to solve the problem?!" ”

"Of course I'm a lawyer, but what's the use of having a lawyer if everyone can be as calm as you say?" Chris retorted.

"So, of course you want more cases like this to be the better, lawyers are a bunch of vampires!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

On the other side, Lance and Bruce got together and talked about the failed performance the other day.

"Seriously, Bruce, I've seen your performances, and in terms of the level of performance, you're still very professional, but the script is too old-fashioned, and the audience won't buy it if you don't innovate in a place like Broadway." Lance said.

"Ann said the same, but how can innovation be so easy." Bruce is a little disappointed, and although he didn't expect to soar through the new show, the failure is still unacceptable.

"Ann has written a new story, and now it's almost arranged, I feel good, you should read it when you have time."

Bruce nodded silently, not very interested, Xu An is not a professional writer after all, it is not easy to be convincing, "Okay, I'll watch it, thank you, and thank you." ”

In the kitchen, Catherine takes Emily and Rachel to prepare lunch, and Taylor, who can't cook, is arranged to set the dishes.

This made Taylor feel a sense of crisis in his heart, it was nothing to not be able to cook, but the girl named Emily seemed to be very good, and Taylor was a little unconvinced.

Soon, Xu An finished washing, Catherine and the others also prepared a sumptuous lunch, and the group gathered around, talking and laughing, which made Xu An feel at home after a long absence.

Since she sat down, Catherine has not been idle, she completely put aside the so-called etiquette, and kept giving Xu An dishes in front of the guests, as if she wanted to make up for the food that Xu An had missed these days.

"Mom, enough is enough, I can't eat so much by myself." Xu An was a little embarrassed.

"A lot?" Catherine didn't think it was too much, "You should eat more, you look a lot thinner this month, I think you should ask your dad to send an email to the councillors and suggest that they improve the prison food, we can donate a lot at the election." ”

Xu Tianrui couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Is An going to visit the old place again?" ”

"Hey!" Catherine shouted in displeasure, causing everyone to laugh.

Xu An also laughed, and he asked, "Do you have anything new to tell me for so many days?" You know, I don't know anything except the news in the newspapers, it's like a return to a primitive society! ”

Emily playfully bit her fork and said, "Although our performance failed, Bruce and Rachel plan not to wait any longer, they are ready to get married, does this count?" ”

"Wow, when did it happen, why didn't anyone tell me?" Xu An said in surprise, "Man, congratulations, congratulations on leaving the singles club!" ”

"Thank you, thank you." Bruce thanked him, and Rachel was rarely a little shy.

"Ann, what are your plans next, rest, vacation?" Chris asked.

"First of all, I'm going to get some good sleep!" Xu An exaggeratedly said: "Damn Brian Barry, no one has ever broken the news that he is sleeping and talking in his sleep, if I respond to him, he can actually take it!" ”

"Brian?"

Everyone is interested, although not everyone likes him, but as the most influential of the new generation of male singers in North America, Brian is definitely a celebrity.

And gossip about celebrities is something that everyone is interested in!

"Brian announced coming out three years ago, he's a GAY!" Rachel smiled meaningfully.

"Oh, please, Rachel, stop here, God knows how worried I was at first!" Xu An smiled speechlessly, he does not discriminate against homosexuals, but he can't accept it.

A large table of people, talking and laughing, lunch lasted until the afternoon, as if everyone had endless words.

When the guests left, Xu An slept lightly, as he said!
