Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hospitality
"Man, I just got out of prison today, I didn't go back to my luxury villa in Los Angeles, I didn't go to the Ritz-Carlton, I found you, my friend!" Brian exclaimed in heartache and exclaim, "You're here to entertain me?!" ”
Ever since he followed Xu An all the way to the bottom of this old-fashioned apartment building on 110th Street, Brian has been complaining, disgusted with the old and dilapidated environment here, and disgusted with the narrow and messy space here after entering the house, which has annoyed Xu An.

"Shut up, Brian, this is my residence, the studio, my only place in Manhattan, no one is forcing you to come with me, if you don't want to, we can go to the café for a while!" Xu An was a little annoyed and angry.
At that time, the bachelor apartment rented for the sake of cheapness now seems to be more and more unsatisfactory, the narrow space, the irresponsible property, the extremely poor sound insulation, the old decoration and furniture, as a place for office workers to rest at night is not much of a problem, but for Xu An who has to take care of writing, staying here all day is not enough.
"OK, OK, I won't say it, count you as good, do you have anything to eat here? I'm starving, and the food in prison is unsatisfactory. "Brian doesn't really dislike Xu An's residence, he can sleep peacefully even in such a dirty environment in prison, how can he care about Xu An's here, he just habitually complains and quarrels.
To put it bluntly, it's cheap!
"Apple pie, plain cookies, milk, drinks, cereals and sausages, you name it." Xu An opened his refrigerator to Brian and said.
It turns out that you can't have too many illusions about the refrigerator in a single man's bachelor apartment, Xu An doesn't even have a place to put kitchen utensils here, how can there be anything delicious.
Brian had a loveless expression, reluctantly grabbed some snacks and bottled coffee, sat on the bed and ate, "I'm going to have a French dinner in a while, I'm going to eat a steak of Wellington, I'm going to eat salmon sushi, man, you're in for a treat, as a friend, you're obligated to celebrate my freedom!" ”
"McDonald's, Tex choose one of the two, what do you want?!" Xu An said angrily.
Brian was speechless and surrendered: "Count me unlucky, I please, you wait a minute, I'll let Charles book it now, just forget it at Ritz-Carlton, I'm going to sleep well after eating!" ”
Fighting with Xu An, Brian has never won.
Xu An smiled, of course he wouldn't be so stingy, just a habit he developed in the prison cell, happy to quarrel with Brian, he found that Brian was not very interested in those desserts, and suddenly remembered that there was still a delicacy in the cabinet, and hurriedly snatched the snack in Brian's hand.
As a result, before Xu An could speak, Brian was unhappy, "What's the situation, man, you don't even provide snacks?!" ”
"No, no, I'll give you a good thing!" Xu An threw the dim sum aside, and then took out a fiery red paper tube from the cabinet, "This is much better than dim sum!" ”
"What? Instant ramen? Brian asked, "Well, at least it's hot, not the cold snacks in the fridge, and it makes my heart feel cold." ”
"This is no ordinary instant ramen!" Xu An smiled mysteriously, he unpacked the package, made the seasoning, and then poured hot water, while saying: "This is a good thing I bought in a Chinese supermarket, it is said that it is a delicacy that can be seen everywhere in China, but it is rarely seen in the United States, it is really very, very good!" ”
"So amazing?" Brian asked with some suspicion, the smell of hot water rinsing spice rose, he sniffed, and couldn't help but look forward to it, "By the way, Ann, you said on the phone, your script and soundtrack are ready, show it to me, if it weren't for this, I would go back to Los Angeles today!" ”
Xu An laughed, although Brian is a bad boy, but he is a reliable friend, he took out the score from the stack of manuscript paper on the desk, handed it to Brian, and said: "There are 24 songs in total, the lyrics and songs have all been completed, and the script is basically written, now there are two parts of arrangement and dance, we have to do it as soon as possible, there is still a training period after the script is completed, I want to release this stage play as soon as possible!" ”
Seeing the professional thing, Brian put away his hippie smile and became serious, he nodded while looking at the music sheet in his hand, and kept humming the melody on the score in his mouth.
This made Xu An very envious, he could hum it when he got the score, Taylor could also do this, and they could not only hum, but also feel the quality of the melody for the first time, Taylor even found a few mistakes and flaws for him in a short time.
If you weren't working with music all the time, you wouldn't be able to do that.
Brian had a lot less time to read the music scores than Taylor, he quickly finished reading a stack of music scores, and then couldn't help but stare at Xu An with strange eyes, and he didn't speak, just looked at it in a daze, making Xu An a little hairy.
"Don't look at me, my sexuality is normal."
Brian barked like a cat with its tail stepped on: "Damn, my sexual orientation is normal too, you can't say homosexuality is wrong!" ”
"Okay, okay, I'll admit I was wrong, whether it's the same sex or the opposite sex, it's a normal orientation, OK?" Xu An surrendered, "It's just that why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"I want to pry your head open and see what's inside!" Brian said seriously, "Or are you an alien?" ”
Xu An rolled his eyes, picked up the instant noodles that had been soaked and handed them to Brian, and said, "I want to pry my head open, practice martial arts first, and then talk about defeating me, as for aliens, perhaps, geniuses are always maliciously speculated, I'm used to it." ”
"Hmph, you're arrogant than me...... Whew, what the hell is this, so delicious?! Brian took a big bite of the noodles and was immediately amazed by its rich flavor.
"In China, this is called instant noodles, and it is also sold in the United States, but it is rare, this braised pork ribs flavor can only be found in a few specific Chinese supermarkets, and it is very delicious!" Xu An said.
"I'm going to buy a truckload, it's convenient, it's delicious, it's just amazing!"
Brian was conquered by a bucket of instant noodles common in China, and after gobbling up the noodles, he didn't even let go of the soup, and drank it all into his stomach, if he wasn't going to have a big meal at night, he would definitely ask Xu An to prepare a few more boxes.
"Here's this, the taste of this kind of noodles is a bit heavy, you must clear your mouth after eating, otherwise you won't be able to talk to others at all!" Xu An threw Brian a piece of chewing gum, the instant noodles were delicious, but the taste in his mouth would be very strong after eating.
"Ah, I feel like I'm alive again, and if I have a big soft bed now and sleep comfortably all day, it will be a heavenly treat!"
Xu An laughed, he had just experienced this feeling not long ago, and after being free, the first thing he thought about was not to take a vacation or travel, but to eat a delicious meal and enjoy another undisturbed sleep.
