After saying this, she suddenly realized that she had just behaved a little harshly, for fear of destroying her gentle and lovely image in William's heart, so she hurriedly softened her tone and added: "You know, I have grown up, but Chinese parents always disrespect their children and do not let us learn to ......be independent."

William nodded sympathetically as he drove down the brightly lit street.

"You don't have to worry, I have a lot of friends in Los Angeles, so it should be even more fun for us to go there than in New York......" Bai Xinrui chattered while staring at the booking information on the mobile phone screen, her fingers flying forward.

"Oh, you know what? My mom didn't want me to go to Los Angeles, she thought that the West Coast was a nouveau riche world, and said that I was still young, and I was afraid that they would affect my taste, but to be honest, I was quite comfortable with them, they were all straightforward people, I hope you liked them......" Bai Xinrui tilted her head and glanced at William.

"When you get there, will your mother let you...... Your babysitter chases after you? William said this, slammed on the accelerator and increased his horsepower to speed through the streets of New York.

"My aunt lives at home over there, she is the most unconditional person in the world, even if I destroy the universe, she will think that I am doing everything right, much better than my mother! Don't worry, she will never tell my mom! ”

Suddenly, Bai Xinrui slapped her thigh excitedly and said, "Great! I've booked my ticket at half past ten! ”

The two went home and packed their luggage, took the car straight to the airport, and hurriedly completed the formalities and arrived at the boarding gate, which was less than twenty minutes before the plane took off.

Sitting on a bench in the departure hall, Bai Xinrui kept calling her Los Angeles friends as if no one was around, and William couldn't understand her Chinese, but seeing her babbling something for a while, and laughing happily for a while, as if she had forgotten the little trouble she had just had with her mother.

After Bai Xinrui finished the last phone call, William asked her, "Calling your friends so late won't bother them, right?" ”

"How so? You forgot about the three-hour time difference! Bai Xinrui smiled coquettishly and said, "They should have just gotten up from the bed now, and the nightlife hasn't officially started yet!" ”

At one o'clock in the morning (there is a three-hour time difference between Boston and Los Angeles), William and Bai Xinrui arrived in Los Angeles.

Walking out of the airport's departure hall, Los Angeles was enveloped in darkness at night.

An arrogant space-silver Aston Martin, with its bright headlights flickering in the direction of William and Xinrui, almost blinded William's eyes, and he blocked the glare of the headlights with the back of his hand.

Bai Xinrui had already thrown down her suitcase and ran towards the car.

At this time, the lights went out, the door on the driver's side opened, and a tall, handsome and well-dressed blonde boy walked down, he walked to the right side of the car and pulled the car door, stretched out his hand, and pulled up a maturely dressed girl from the 007 Spectre sports car with a very low seat.

The girl looked to be in her early twenties, but her plump figure wrapped in a black and white contrasting high-slit skinny knit skirt looked particularly sexy, her long curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and a diamond-encrusted dollar pendant sparkled at her neck sparkled.

The girl slouched out of the car, looking a little tired, and the smoky makeup on her face had begun to smudge. She greeted Bai Xinrui with a smile and said in Chinese: "Xinrui, you are getting more and more beautiful!" Where did you die recently, and I didn't come to Los Angeles for so long? ”

"Sister An An, I'm so happy to see you......" Bai Xinrui hugged the girl.

"Hmph, you little is sweet! The United States is so lonely, my sister is boring, you don't know, I really miss the days when we played crazy in Shanghai and went to nightclubs! An An sighed and said.

"What? Are you still bored? Bai Xinrui smiled and raised her eyebrows at the blonde boy standing aside, "That's your new boyfriend, right?" ”

"No, my assistant." The girl smiled ambiguously, leaned on Bai Xinrui's ear and said, "How is it, on time?" ”

Bai Xinrui chuckled when she heard this: "...... It's a creative title! By the way, how many assistants do you have? ”

"It depends on whether you're asking a male or female assistant!" An An smiled wilder than Bai Xinrui, she looked at the noble and dignified William beside Bai Xinrui and said, "Wow, where did you get the handsome competition, it's so handsome that people want to commit a crime!" It's a little bit of a ...... Dumbfounded! ”

"Cut, what do you mean by being stupid, this is obviously an aristocratic temperament, okay?" Bai Xinrui was secretly proud in her heart.

"Didn't you like rebellious teenagers? Tastes changed? Was it brainwashed when I got to that boarding high school in the east? Tut-tut, it seems to be the rhythm of changing the evil and returning to the right! An An said in fuss.

"Where? You don't know him, and he's crazy to play. With that, Bai Xinrui pulled William over and introduced the two of them in English.

After An An said "nice to meet you" in a broken pronunciation, he began to speak Chinese again.

Bai Xinrui felt a little embarrassed, because, when she was at school, she had developed the habit of speaking English as much as possible as long as there were foreigners, and if they spoke Chinese vigorously, William and the "assistant" could not understand it at all, and they could not interact, so she whispered to An An: "My friend can't understand Chinese, let's still speak English." ”

"If you want to talk to the old lady, go learn Chinese!" Don't look at the old lady with a U.S. green card, she still doesn't bird these stupid foreigners, and it is impossible to learn any broken English. Isn't it, Paul? When An An spoke, her expression was uncontrollable, and at the end, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her assistant.

"Yes. Ann. I am willing to learn Chinese for you, I am willing to do anything for you. The blonde man named Paul, speaking a strange Chinese accent, echoed the order.

"And what are you going to do when you go to school?" Bai Xinrui said curiously.

"Oh, school, my sister hasn't been to that place for a long time, and it's not very expensive to find someone to write homework and exams on your behalf." An An covered her mouth with her hand made of blue crystal nails, yawning heavily, and the large diamond on the ring on her middle finger shimmered with a strange light.

"Xinrui, sister has been playing for two days and two nights in a row, and I'm tired, you and your ...... What kind of aristocratic boy, drive this Hummer behind you and go home to sleep first, tomorrow night, Xin Shao's birthday, in the mansion that his father bought for him, you remember to dress up and come over again, the friends in Los Angeles miss you a lot! If there's anything to talk about tomorrow night! "Don't look at An An's age, but she speaks maturely and sophisticatedly, and looks like a big sister in society.

Only then did William notice that behind this extremely stylish Ghost Party, there was a big guy, that was the legendary Humvee, this tall black Humvee, which was unexpectedly lined by the Ghost Party, and was lackluster.

Saying goodbye to An An, Bai Xinrui took William's hand and walked towards the Humvee.

Sitting on the majestic Hummer, she began to enter the address of their Los Angeles home into her mobile phone, and she had not been back to Los Angeles for more than half a year.

It was the first time for William to come to the second largest city in the United States, and it was also the first time to drive a Humvee as tall as a tank, and he was a little nervous, while driving, he glanced at the mobile phone on the anti-slip mat on the right side of the dashboard from time to time, for fear that he had taken the wrong road in the early hours of the morning.

Bai Xinrui told him all the way about An An and her friendship since childhood, and the friendship between Xin Shao, the host of tomorrow's party, and their family, as she spoke, Bai Xinrui's voice became smaller and smaller, and after a while, she shrank into a wide leather chair and fell asleep.

Patrolling voice prompts, the car left downtown Los Angeles, drove along Highway 10 past Santa Monica, and then turned onto Highway 1, the most beautiful Pacific Coast Highway.

At this time, it was pitch black outside, and the road was full of cars, with the Pacific Ocean on the left and the water and sky, and the cliffs with steep peaks and strange rocks on the right. They seemed to be the only car left in the world, driving along the beautiful coastline road, between the mountains and the sea.

There are no street lights on the highways, and the eerie glow from the Humvee's modified "devil's eye" headlights is the only source of light on the black-and-white canvas. Occasionally, gulls and birds led the way, as if to remind them that this was a place where life existed, but William felt that the road ahead was becoming more and more desolate.

After driving for a while in the night, William felt that the scenery on both sides of the car window was like an unchanging picture frame—the bare loess of the mountains, with the occasional low vegetation; The coastline stretches as far as the eye can see, and there seems to be no human smoke and fire around.

He thought to himself: he was obviously looking for a mansion, could such a desolate place really be inhabited? Could it be a navigation error?

William panicked, gently touched Bai Xinrui, who was sleeping crookedly next to him, and asked, "Are we going the right way?" If you keep driving like this, will you end up on a desert island? ”

Even when she was awake, Bai Xinrui couldn't grasp the route accurately, not to mention that she was tired now and was already in a semi-comatose state.

She muttered, "Hmm...... I don't know...... Right by the beach......"

William shook his head, but he didn't say it. They have been driving along California Highway 1 on the Pacific coast, which is full of beaches, but where are there any mansions? He began to become less and less determined about the direction of navigation.

After a frenzied day, another five or six hours on the plane, and nearly an hour on the road, William was already sleepy and tired, and he decided to find a place to stop and rest, fearing that fatigue driving would be dangerous.
