Turning the other day, January 16th. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Before dawn, Xiao Yang opened his eyes.

Severe sleep deprivation caused his eyelids to be astringent, his mind to be in a state of almost pathological euphoria, just like last night - in order to recuperate, after watching the live broadcast of the Oscar nomination dinner, he climbed into bed early, but was excited by the upcoming or about to be stimulated by the big event he had created by his own hands, and tossed and turned until more than 2 o'clock in the morning before falling asleep in a daze.

Knowing that he was willing to take a risk this time, he might lose everything or even be imprisoned if he was not careful, in order to ensure that he could face it with the fullest energy, Xiao Yang didn't even eat breakfast, and forced himself to make up for a few more hours of sleep, until the sun was past noon, he got up and took a shower, and the whole person became energetic.

After checking out and leaving the house, he bought two hot dogs and a glass of orange juice for lunch in a Mexican-style food truck on the side of the road, a typical Tijuana (northern Mexican city, bordering the southern border of California) hot dogs with bacon rolled on the sausage, accompanied by green peppers, onions, peppers and Mexican guacamole. Every variable is taken into account as much as possible.

Familiarly found Jodie Foster's single-family villa in the middle of the mountain, and saw a white Toyota minivan (van van) parked on the side of the road from a distance, and two people sitting in the cab were holding binoculars to observe the movement in the villa, but the car did not have any TV station or newspaper logo, Xiao Yang guessed that they were probably the legendary "Paparazzi". (Italian, originated from the Italian photographer Signor-Paparazzo, known for tracking celebrities, whose image and story have been put on the big screen several times, and later became synonymous with paparazzi who specialize in tracking, secretly shooting, and digging up celebrity secrets~private gossip news reporters.) )

Judging that Jodie Foster should be at home, Xiao Yang didn't continue to approach, turned around and walked back along the same road for some distance, turned right to the business district, bought a bouquet of white lilies from a flower shop on Burton Avenue, and had to complain about the frightening high price of Beverly Hills, a mere bouquet of flowers actually cost 99 US dollars, almost emptied his shriveled purse, in case the plan failed, Xiao Yang may have to go home - of course, the possibility of being invited to eat free prison meals by the local police station is even greater.

Coming to the door of Jodie Foster's villa again, Xiao Yang did not rush to call the door, but walked to the Toyota minivan with a bouquet of flowers, and looked into the cab, where two middle-aged white men were sitting, the tall and thin man in the driver's seat, with fluffy curly hair with a lot of personality, holding a pair of binoculars in his hand, and next to him was a bald fat man with a big belly, wearing a short-sleeved Hawaiian shirt, and was biting half a doughnut with relish.

Looking at the two cameras and a mini camera on the dashboard, Xiao Yang raised his hand and said hello: "Good afternoon." ā€

"Hello." The tall and thin man looked at the bouquet in his hand, "What's the matter?" ā€

Xiao Yang didn't answer and asked: "Which newspaper or TV station are you from?" ā€

The tall and thin man looked him up and down, but did not speak, and the fat man next to him patted the breadcrumbs on his body and asked him in an unfriendly tone, "What does this matter to you?" ā€

"Because I want to give you a big news, for free." Xiao Yang smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of neat, white teeth, and turned his head to look at the villa diagonally opposite, "This is Jodie Foster's home, right?" ā€

"So what?" The bald fat man looked at him like an idiot and added coldly: "Everyone in Los Angeles knows one thing, Judy never meets fans in her own home." ā€

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of her." Xiao Yang squeezed his eyes at him, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I'm a criminal, so you'd better pick up the phone and call the police immediately, because there is a vicious burglary kidnapping case coming soon--against Jodie Foster." ā€

"What?" The tall and thin man couldn't believe his ears, "Excuse me again?" ā€

Xiao Yang didn't speak anymore, just smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked straight towards the door of the villa.

"Is there something wrong with my hearing?" The tall and thin man turned his head and asked his partner, who was also confused, "What did that kid just say, he was going to kidnap Jodie Foster?" ā€

"By virtue of what, a bouquet of flowers?" The fat man laughed disdainfully, "It's just a little fan who has lost his mind, gambling 5 yuan, he can't even enter the door!" ā€

"Please, do I look like I'm as retarded as you?" The tall and thin man waved his hand exaggeratedly, although he was sure that Xiao Yang would eat a closed door, but out of the psychology of watching a good show, he still raised his binoculars and looked towards the gate of the villa more than ten meters away, "Look, that kid really went to call the door, ha, I really want to see his face when he was rejected......"

Standing in front of the beautiful carved fence door, Xiao Yang pressed the video intercom doorbell fixed on the doorpost, then took a step back, took a deep breath, and began to wait patiently.

More than ten seconds later, a slightly older female voice came out of the speaker next to the camera: "Who's outside?" ā€

Xiao Yang stabilized his slightly anxious mind, and replied loudly: "Good afternoon, ma'am, I am an employee of Blair's flower shop, and here is a bouquet of flowers for Ms. Jodie Foster, please sign for it." ā€

The other party obviously didn't plan to let a strange man into the door so easily, "Who sent the flowers?" ā€

Xiao Yang was prepared for this, "Ms. Sidney-Bernard, do you have any impression of this name, ma'am?" ā€

The other end of the walkie-talkie was silent for a while, and suddenly heard a "tick", and the door on the opposite side staggered inward, "Please come in." ā€

Seeing Xiao Yang push the door and walk into the front garden of the villa, the thin and tall man cried out as if he had discovered a new world, "Oh my God, what did I see?" That kid really went in! ā€

"Yes, that bastard really did, I don't know what tricks he played, but ......" his partner immediately grabbed the camera on the dashboard, pushed the car door at a speed that was extremely disproportionate to his size, and jumped down as fast as he could, "Hurry up, if I miss this opportunity, I will definitely strangle myself with my own intestines, I swear!" ā€
