Chapter 147: Passers-by
readx;
The time difference is amazing, Fang Xiao departed from Hong Kong at 4 pm on July 12 and stayed on the plane for 13 hours and 05 minutes, but when he arrived in Los Angeles, it was 2:55 pm on July 12, but he went back more than 1 hour. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Xiao came to Los Angeles to know that he was a celebrity, but celebrities are divided into three levels, the first layer is that no matter where you go, someone knows you; The second layer is that no matter where you go, everyone knows you; The third layer is that someone recognizes it, but doesn't believe it's you......
Fang Xiao probably barely reached the second level in China, but in Los Angeles, at most the first level, so when he wore the beard made with the help of the crew's makeup artist, wearing a wig similar to Brother Haonan, Shi Shiran walked through the airport passage, none of the more than a dozen media reporters waiting there recognized it.
Sure enough Chinese Western people are face blind, and Westerners are also face blind when they look at Chinese......
The airport in Los Angeles is not much different from the airport in Hong Kong, the tall and cold buildings, welcoming the crowd of people, Fang Xiao casually walked around, and walked out of the waiting room, at the door, he just wanted to call a taxi, but when he looked up, he saw a sign with white letters on a blue background, with a welcome message of "-to-los-angeles" and silhouettes of palm trees and skyscrapers.
This sign is almost exactly the same as the one Betty the blonde girl in "Mulholland Drive" saw when she first came to Los Angeles......
"Mulholland Drive" is a very peculiar movie, Fang Xiao has watched it many times in his previous life, he stared at the sign for a while, then took out his mobile phone and took a photo.
"Mr. Fang, do you want a ride?"
Fang Xiao turned around and saw a girl wearing a striped vest with a crop top and denim shorts. Black hair and black eyes, not tall, slightly dark skin, apple face. Willow eyebrows. Meniscus eyes, very Western attire. His face was very oriental, which made him inexplicably think of a drink - bubble tea.
"You are?"
"I'm Erica's assistant." The girl introduced herself with a smile: "Huang Yuanyuan, call me Julie." β
As soon as Fang Xiao got off the plane, he received a text message reminder from Zhu Linlin. Naturally knowing who Erica was, he nodded and asked, "Specially waiting for me?" β
"Yes."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Fang Xiao turned around and walked towards the inside of the airport and said, "I don't plan to stay in Los Angeles. β
Huang Yuanyuan quickly caught up with him and asked, "Where is Mr. Fang going?" β
When she was surprised, her eyebrows were raised, and they were very open from her eyes. The expression is rich and exaggerated, with a round baby face, there is a kind of naughty joy, Fang Xiao smiled. However, he didn't answer, but found a ticket counter in the airport and said straightforwardly: "Buy a ticket for the fastest flight." β
"Where are you going, sir?"
"Anywhere." Fang Xiao paused for a moment and asked, "Where did the nearest flight go?" β
"At 3:55, go to Dallas."
"Okay, I'll buy one."
Huang Yuanyuan's eyes turned, stepped forward and said, "Two of them, sit together." β
β¦β¦
At 9:32 a.m. on July 12, Huang Yuanyuan described Fang Xiao as "proud", and three days later, she felt that Fang Xiao should be described as "crazy" - he flew for three days, from Los Angeles to Dallas, from Dallas to Chicago, from Chicago to Baltimore, from Baltimore to Denver, from Denver to Phoenix......
Flying around, flying more than a dozen cities, each time he arrived in a city, Fang Xiao walked out of the airport, took a photo, and then turned back, bought a ticket for the recent take-off and went to the next city, no purpose, no plan, no hotel, no restaurant, sleep on the plane, eat on the plane, no bath, no Internet, no shaving, no newspaper, no small talk with people, either closed his eyes to rest, or opened his eyes in a daze, if it wasn't for the occasional phone call and talk when he behaved normally, Huang Yuanyuan felt that he was really crazy.
In fact, not only Huang Yuanyuan thinks he is crazy, many people think he is crazy, when Fang Xiao flew to 4 cities in a row and posted 4 airport photos, fans all over China knew that he was playing trapeze in the United States, and at the World Cup final on the afternoon of July 13, when "We-are-the-s" was sung again, people all over the world knew that Fang Xiao had flown aimlessly over the United States over 11 cities, and by July 14, countless netizens were discussing his actions, and countless reporters were chasing his whereaboutsβ¦β¦
"Welcome to Los Angeles."
At 9:22 p.m. on July 15, Fang Xiao returned to Los Angeles International Airport again, he held up his mobile phone and took another photo of the billboard, while seven or eight reporters took pictures of him.
"Mr. Fang, where are you going next?"
"Why are you doing that?"
"Looking for inspiration?"
"Is it propaganda?"
In the gossip inquiry, Fang Xiao squeezed through the crowd, walked a few steps outside, stood on the side of the road, looked up at the dark night sky, stopped a taxi, opened the door, and made a gesture of please to Huang Yuanyuan who was standing on the periphery, Huang Yuanyuan crossed her waist, let out a long breath, and then dragged the yellow duffel bag she bought temporarily the day before yesterday, bypassed the reporter, and got into the car.
"Mr. Fang, can you explain why you did this?"
βlifeγβ
Fang Xiao only said one English word, then pushed away the microphone and voice recorder in front of him, waved his hand, and got into the taxi.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"Julie, do you have any recommendations?"
"The Leeds-Carlton Hotel, it's not far from here." Huang Yuanyuan leaned weakly on the back of the chair and complained: "My waist is about to break." β
After Fang Xiao and the driver confirmed the name of the hotel, they said to her in Chinese: "Thank you for accompanying me for three days." β
"No thanks." Huang Yuanyuan groaned, shook her head and said, "I'm asking for my own hardship." β
Fang Xiao smiled slightly, rested on the back of the back like her, and after a while, asked, "Who won?" β
"What?"
"World Cup."
"Germany, 2:1."
"That's good." Fang Xiao didn't have much interest in football, he casually changed the topic and asked, "Are you an immigrant, or an international student?" β
"My grandfather's grandfather immigrated during the Qing Dynasty. It's been more than 100 years now. β
"Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be an authentic American."
"Are you taunting me?"
"No, I'm complimenting you on your good Chinese, a century-old Chinese like you. It's yellow inside and out, and it's rare. Oh yes, you're still surnamed Huang. β
Huang Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. He sneered and said, "I once stayed in Jingshi for a while, and I would say that there is something rare in Chinese...... You speak English well. β
Fang Xiao snorted twice, but didn't explainβhis English was already good. In my previous life, I once trained in Silicon Valley for a few months because of a project, and the daily communication was completely fine.
"Ready to go back?"
"Well, I'll leave tomorrow."
"You can fly everywhere in China, why fly in the United States?"
"I'm here for a vacation in the United States, and I don't have to be on vacation."
"I don't believe it, you must have another reason."
"Maybe."
A taxi will take you to the hotel, which is a beachfront luxury hotel. The magnificence and picturesque night view are palpable, but the two of them are tired and have no intention of watching. I hurriedly opened two suites, said goodnight to each other, and went to rest.
Stripped naked and sat in the bathtub with a massage function, Fang Xiao let out a sigh of relief, as if he had vomited out the tiredness and loneliness in his body and heart.
In the third year after the death of his parents, one night, Fang Xiao suddenly woke up from his dream, feeling that the whole world was lonely, it seemed that he was the only one who existed, and the night was as solemn as sea water, which was suffocating, so he left home and ran to the train station, because there were many people and it was lively.
After staying at the train station for a night, I bought a ticket to go back to my hometown at dawn, and after paying homage to my parents, Fang Xiaoman took the train for two days aimlessly, because on the train, everyone was a lonely passerby, sympathizing with each other, and lonely people were not so lonely when they got together.
I don't know if it's Takeshi Kaneshiro's role that resonates, or if it's more than two months of high-pressure work that causes exhaustion, or if the psychological sequelae finally broke out, the moment he saw the "Welcome to Los Angeles" sign, that feeling of loneliness appeared again, Fang Xiao felt that there was a layer of cold glass between him and the world, watching people laugh, watching people worry, watching people happy, watching people crying, but his heart was like water, not shocked, like a heartless robot, and like a player playing a single-player game.
This feeling of disconnection from the world is terrifying......
"Mulholland Drive" tells the story of a dream, am I also in a dream?
So Fang Xiao concocted the same method, and came to a aimless trip again, after three days of tossing, when he returned to the signboard again, he clearly felt that he missed the two girls in the family very strongly, missed their smiles, missed their breath, missed their gentleness, in short, he and the world were finally connected again, no longer standalone......
Fang Xiao leaned over and picked up the mobile phone placed on the shelf next to the bathtub and dialed the authorized number.
"Enough to fly?"
"Knowing so soon?"
"Eye&Me has become a trapeze agent reporting camp."
"Hehehe...... What are you doing? β
"I'm driving, going out to dinner with the leprechauns, and I'll go see the house later."
"The leprechauns are there too?"
"In ...... Fairy, call your man. β
"Don't do it, Xiaoke, I only like you, how can there be any man."
Fang Xiao was made to cry and laugh by Qiao Yadan's bewitching voice, he sank all the neck down into the water, and said with a smile: "I knew that the two of you had a leg, and sure enough, as soon as I left, the adultery was exposed." β
"Since I have been discovered, I might as well tell you, in the future, I will honestly make a massage stick, follow the rumor, and you are not allowed to run around and go crazy again, otherwise I don't want you."
"And we are satisfied!"
"You two are too straightforward, too erotic, too shameless......"
Xu Xu and Qiao Yadan are both tough and tough, but one is rigid and soft, and the other is soft and strong, only when they are alone at home, they will be obsessed and crooked, and rarely do little daughters when they go out, Fang Xiao knows that they are using nonsense to express their concern, and their hearts are warm, and they laughed with the two sisters for a while, and said: "I will ask the hotel to book a plane ticket and go back tomorrow." β
"Got it."
Then neither side spoke, and after a while, Qiao Yadan said: "Sing a song, I haven't heard you sing for a few days." β
"I've been listening to it for a few months, aren't you annoyed?" Xu Xu was disdainful at first, and then asked: "Sing an English song and listen to it, I don't believe you flew around the United States without writing a song." β
"Okay then."
"Wait a minute, the leprechaun wants to record...... Okay, it's time to sing. β
Fang Xiao then held up his mobile phone and sang a very old song.

β¦β¦β
Commemorate the past life and miss the favorite in this life......
"In-My-Life" is the song that Fang Xiao recalls the most when he flies around, this song was written by John Lennon in memory of a friend named Stuart, and ranked No. 23 in Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time", it is a beautiful and heartfelt song.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney are both born in the early 40s, butterfly wings did not flap their talent and talent, but changed their life experiences, both of them were pop music superstars in Fang Xiao's previous life and this life, the difference is that in the previous life they got together to form a beatles band, and in this life because of various inconsistencies, the two never met in their youth, they have been playing their own games, each has written different works, and each has walked out of different lives......
No beatles, certainly no In-My-Life......
"You haven't flown in vain for the past three days." After hearing this, Yu Yu said, "I forgive you for your messy behavior. β

Normal updates will begin tomorrow......
