The next day, after working out early in the morning, Ryan started to get busy, now that Christmas is here, how can he also decorate, fortunately, it didn't take long, Antonia? Kidman found a coolie, her current boyfriend.

"Hello, Ryan, I didn't expect to see you here."

Shaking Ryan's hand was a young white man in his twenties, mild-mannered and humble, but his profession was a little sensitive to Ryan, a journalist.

"Hello, Mr. Claude, that ...... I'll leave it to you. ”

Ryan was not polite to him at all, and very simply pointed to the living room and the Christmas tree on the other side.

"No problem."

It's a nice coolie, Ryan clapped his hands, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and watched the two women jump up and down, and couldn't help but feel like watching a stage play.

In the past, there were only Ryan and Nicole at Christmas, and neither of them cared too much about this kind of thing, but just gave each other a small gift and had a nice Christmas Eve dinner.

Sometimes, I even have to attend some dinner parties and get busy with the work at hand.

The tall Christmas tree stands tall in the living room, with colorful lights flashing dazzlingly, and snow decorated with cotton under the tree, among which there are many gift boxes.

Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere is often associated with snow and ice, but it's hard to see snowflakes in Sydney in early summer...... Well, it's too hard.

Even so, through the window, Ryan saw several Santa Claus walking down the street, handing out gifts to children coming and going, just dressed in red. He has a beard and sweats like rain. It's a little weird.

Among them, there are also wearing sunglasses. Wearing shorts and topless, the sight of an alternative Santa Claus is truly unusual.

"It's nothing, if you go to the beach now, you can see a lot of Santa Claus surfing." Claude tells Ryan about some of the Australian Christmas oddities.

"In Australia, the best Christmas gift parents can give their children is a small paddling, and surfing in the sea is a custom at Christmas, and many people choose to have a picnic on Christmas Eve. After eating and drinking, they will dance a disco or kangaroo dance, and if they are tired, they will lie down on the grass and fall asleep. ”

"It's really special to celebrate Christmas in the summer." Ryan was blowing the cold air from the air conditioner, and it felt really strange.

For Ryan, this is like spending the Spring Festival under the scorching sun, in his previous life, which Spring Festival was not in the cold winter. Withstood the test of ice and snow.

"Alright, you two don't talk about it, our dinner is about to start, let's hurry up and set it up."

Antonia except for her boyfriend. Some single men and women were also invited, and there were not many people who came to the banquet, but there were always a few.

As the sun goes lower and lower. The sound of cars sounded in front of the door from time to time, and young men and women dressed in beautiful clothes walked into the lawn in front of the courtyard.

Among them were Antonia's friends. There are also acquaintances from Ni Ke before, but these guys after seeing Ryan. Australia is one of Hollywood's dumping grounds, and it is clear that his fame has long been here.

Dinner was buffet-style, with a long table filled with food prepared by the Kidman sisters, seven or eight small white tables arranged around the lawn, and soothing music playing on the record player on the other side.

"Ryan, this is your first time in Australia? Why didn't you come to Sydney for the premiere? The questioner was a young man, supposedly Nicole's old neighbor.

"It will definitely be in the future." Ryan socialized, and over the past few years, he has developed quite good communication skills.

"Hello, Ryan, I'm Nicole's classmate."

It was a blonde woman, and Ryan shook her hand gently.

There were about seven or eight people here, all of whom were young people, and many of them were people in the entertainment industry, who either gathered around Nicole or gathered around Ryan to inquire about the situation in Hollywood.

This is normal, Australia has a sparse population and a limited entertainment market, and most Australian stars who become famous will choose the same path - to Hollywood.

Ryan is also very aware of this, in his previous life, the Australian gang was a very influential circle in Hollywood, although they also had contradictions with each other, but in the face of external pressure, they would unite and speak with one voice, which should not be underestimated.

Now in Hollywood, Nicole? Kidman is one of the most famous Australian movie stars.

Finally sent a few people, Ryan didn't want to be a panda anymore, so he simply walked to Nicole's side and used her as a shield.

"Your friend and Anne are too welcoming." Ryan said when Nicole looked over.

"Most of them are Anne's friends, I've been away from Australia for too long, I don't have a lot of friends here."

Nicole stood by the grill, flipping the roast meat, and the sound of sizzling brought a tantalizing aroma.

"Aren't you alright?" Ryan was a little anxious.

"Ryan, patience is a virtue."

"Come on, Nicole, I'm hungry enough to eat a whole roast lamb."

Ryan took the fork and gently poked the roast leg of lamb, obviously really hungry.

"Wow, I should thank God for being able to eat barbecue made by Hollywood stars."

A young man approached her, who was their neighbor, and Nicole snorted, "Sorry, Paul, it's Ryan's dinner, if you want to eat it, do it yourself." ”

"It's not fair......"

Nicole didn't bother to bother with the guy anymore, put the roast in the tray, pulled Ryan up and walked to a small table, and sat down.

"Ignore that guy, after all these years, he hasn't grown at all." Nicole said casually.

"Hmmm......"

Ryan took the tray, sliced the roast, placed it on two plates, and pushed one of them in front of Nicole.

"You've been busy, hurry up and eat some." He said.

The corners of Nicole's mouth curled slightly, and her eyes curved. I brought a pair of knives and forks and two glasses of juice.

It was just a moment of silence when someone came over. This time it's the blonde woman, and it looks like she's an acquaintance with Nicole. After saying hello, she sat down in another chair, and Nicole could only put down her knife and fork.

Ryan couldn't help but frown, couldn't they just let people finish dinner? Besides, the owner here is Antonia? Kidman, strictly speaking, he and Nicole are also guests.

"Nicole, after the New Year, I'm going to go to Hollywood. Can you give me some advice. The other party asked.

What a hassle! Ryan sighed, not intending to mix, and buried himself in his roast.

"My Jianyì?" Nicole seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally told the truth, "It's better to make a name for yourself here, and then go to Hollywood, then there will be more opportunities." ”

The woman shook her head and continued, "I've been a model. I've filmed TV series and participated in some shows, but I don't know why, but I've been ......"

She made a gesture of helplessness.

Nicole knew that Hollywood was even more helpless. It is not an ordinary difficulty for newcomers who have no fame and no support to make their mark there. When she took over the filming of "The Sixth Sense", not to mention that she was a household name in Australia. is also a number of female stars, even so. If it weren't for Ryan's role in it, it's hard to say whether he would have gotten that role.

"Nicole, let's go to acting school together......"

The two talked in a low voice, and Ryan glanced at Nicole with a helpless look.

"Well, I have your way of contacting, and if there's a suitable role, I'll recommend you."

Although Nicole's words were so, with Ryan's understanding of her, this was just a prevarication, seeing that the blonde woman was about to speak again, Ryan knocked on the empty plate, "Nicole, I'm not full, bake another steak for me, is it okay?" ”

"I'm sorry."

After pushing the barbecue in front of her, Nicole got up and walked towards the grill.

Originally, Ryan and Nicole came to Australia to spend a quiet vacation, and this banquet was considered to break the peace, but this was a banquet convened by Nicole's sister, and Ryan couldn't say anything.

Most of Antonia's friends are from the same circle and have a natural yearning for Hollywood......

The banquet lasted late, and at the end of the party, several people invited Ryan and Nicole to the picnic dance, but the two politely declined.

After being a panda in the middle of the night, neither he nor Nicole wanted to continue to be watched.

Seeing off the guests, looking at the mess all over the courtyard, Ryan had to take the tools and prepare to clean up simply, in addition to him, there are two ladies here, and there must always be some manly demeanor.

"Alright, Ryan, stop cleaning, it's late, you should go and rest." Nicole stopped him, "Just ask the cleaning company to clean up tomorrow." ”

"Okay then."

Back in the room, Ryan had just finished taking a shower and had just fallen down on the bed when he heard a soft knock on the door, and then Nicole walked in, still carrying a gift box in her hand.

"Wow, is this a Christmas present? Nicole, why aren't you wearing a Santa Claus costume? Ryan sat up.

"Is there such a beautiful Santa Claus as me?" She handed over the gift box.

"What is this?"

Asking, Ryan has quickly opened the gift box, a very simple gift, a lucky stone.

"Good night, Ryan." Nicole was just about to leave, when Ryan pulled out a box from under the pillow and handed it over, "Wait, Nicole, here's my gift for you." ”

Slowly opening the box, Nicole covered her mouth in disbelief, inside was a fancy necklace, white gold texture, and a pendant inlaid with broken diamonds underneath, and behind the pendant was a line of letters - Ryan? Jenkins.

She had seen this necklace many times, most of the time it was hung on the picture frame that belonged to her in Ryan's room, but she didn't expect that this necklace that had a special meaning to him would be ...... Gave it to myself.

"Ryan, this is the most precious gift I've ever received." Without any hesitation, Nicole decided to accept the gift, "Can you put it on for me?" (To be continued......)
