Human growth is divided into several stages.

Anya has entered puberty, not only physically, but also psychologically.

The two used to get along with each other, but there was a slight difference, so when they first met, there was a sense of strangeness, and they hadn't been together for a long time, but after all, they were the most familiar friends, and the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

For the changes that happened to her, Han Xuan felt that she should celebrate, Anya had a slight autism when she was a child, and now it seems to have eased a lot, such as when she greeted Dawson's secretary, she had a bright smile on her face, and she talked more.

Leaving Starbucks for dinner at the MEET restaurant not far away, she recounted the big and small things that happened to her at the Royal College of Art, while Han Xuan told her about the process of making movies in the past two months.

The dining venue is on the rooftop of the building, with a layer of snow on the glass ceiling and city lights looming in the goose feather snow.

The meal lasted until half past seven, and when she left the MEET restaurant after dinner, and took the elevator downstairs, Han Xuan asked her, "Will you go home tonight or go to sleep with me?"

Pooh and Barry, in my penthouse in South Central Park, if you don't go back, we can go to the movies now, the opera or the Broadway Winter Park Theater at half-past eight. ”

Hearing the word "cat", Fat Ding raised his head to look at his owner, with an inquiring expression on his round face.

This guy recently caught a cold, his throat was hoarse, he was listless all day, he had diarrhea and a runny nose, he thought he had a cat flu or other disease, but he had seen a veterinarian and told him that it was just a common cold, and it was not a big deal.

Han Xuan rarely gained tranquility, and as it knew more and more words, it was almost impossible to calm down Fat Ding.

"Fat Ding, he didn't say anything about you."

The elevator door opened, and Anya struggled to pick up the fat cat, rubbed its head, and then said to Han Xuan: "Then let's go to the opera, shall we?"

I'll call my mother later and tell me that I'm not going back tonight, she's used to it anyway, isn't she?

Recently my mother was painting a very large painting of the Boloméo family at a dinner party for the king in the 17th century, so she didn't have time to worry about me.

My family recently changed houses, just in the Soho Art District on Manhattan Island, I bought an old warehouse for renovation, about 900 square meters, the outside is full of graffiti, and the studio and rooms are inside. ”

"Yes, when you have time, go to your new home and see how big the paintings the two brothers and sisters have bought?" Han Xuan asked.

"It's four meters long and two meters wide, and it may take two or three years to complete, and my mother hasn't painted a large work, so I've had a headache lately."

"That's really good, I guess I should make a lot of money.

I remember a Japanese photographer named Takashi Murakami said that if you want to be famous in the United States, you must prepare several large-scale works, and the audience will be overwhelmed by the paintings and drawn into the world of oil paintings. ”

"Hmm...... Picasso seems to have done just that.

A total of $6.7 million, and a 40 percent deposit has been given, which is probably the most expensive painting of my mother. ”

Anya, like her mother, also likes small works in paintings, and thinking about Han Xuan's words at this moment, it seems to make sense, and she thinks that she should also try to paint large-scale works.

"That's right, Han.

When I was in England, I saw a supposedly famous Chinese oil painting of an old black man wearing a turban like a Middle Eastern man and holding a bowl of water.

The name of the work is "Father", the picture is very impactful, I like it, this is the first Chinese oil painting that I like, I used to think that only the brush painting is excellent. ”

Han Xuan instantly thought of the painting he had seen in a textbook in his previous life, and said with a smile: "He is not black, just an old Chinese with tanned skin, different planting methods, some farmers are very hard, exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, and are easy to tan."

Dawson, the contact person went to buy that painting for me and sent it to the apartment next to Central Park, I had seen that painting before, and I liked it a lot, it was suitable for decorative painting. ”

“…… You can't do that, Han.

Good paintings should be visited by more people, that is their mission, and some paintings are collected by people and have not been taken out for hundreds of years, which I think is a shame. ”

"The lesson was right.

Dawson, after buying it, put it in the art museum in Lujiazui, I'd rather spend more money than cheap, I want to help my compatriots hype.

Huaxia oil paintings are too cheap, in fact, there are many good works, remember to find an oil painter named Jin Shangyi, he should be at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, once painted a picture for a female student of the Conservatory of Music surnamed Peng, you must buy it......"

"Who is she, who is very famous in Huaxia?"

"No, I just like that painting, the oil painting version of the landscape painting, it looks quite interesting."

Han Xuan smiled evilly and said that in the future, Buffett is willing to pay 30 million US dollars to buy this oil painting of the future first lady when she was young, and the scene suddenly remembered it, how could you miss it......

*************************

The sky is slightly white, and the snowy night is bright even without a moon.

The SOS supermarket downstairs is full of customers, and it's the best time of the year for business, with Santa Claus standing at the door to greet customers.

Leaving the building that the old man bought a few years ago, there was already a layer of snow about five centimeters thick in the alley, and there was snow on the sidewalk on the street, but it was dirty.

There are still snowflakes on the lids of the trash cans, which are still gradually thickening, and the colorful lights of the neon lights nearby shine on the heavy snow that is flying all over the sky, dyeing them in different colors.

The snow was falling heavily and urgently, and the car had just driven by, and the tire marks were covered with a layer of white, and several children were building snowmen, looking up at the sky and praying to God that the snow would be bigger.

This is a bitter pain for the homeless homeless, who are heading in groups to the "homeless house", although it is destined to be crowded and dirty tonight, at least there will be heating, so that they will not freeze to death.

The temperature began to drop, which did not affect the people who went out shopping, but were more happy, did not like to play with umbrellas, let the snowflakes fall on their shoulders, accompanied by Christmas songs from the shops, as well as decorative ribbons, balloons, and signs of the coming cheerful holiday everywhere.

Fat Ding followed by humming Christmas songs, shaking his head and meowing quietly, thinking that he could be lazy when he was sick, and after being put on the ground by Anya, who was so tired, he refused to move a step, opened his front paws and begged for a hug, with a pitiful expression, and rubbed his head on Owen's pants to wipe off the runny nose.

There was no way, Han Xuan could only continue to hold it, breathing out white mist, and his feet creaked on the snow, leaving clear footprints.

The road surface has been iced, the car is moving very slowly, and even so, it is inevitable that there will be a rear-end collision, just a little scrape, and after both sides get out of the car and see, they continue on the road.

The black windbreaker was stained with snowflakes, and Han Xuan's head was white, so he couldn't see that he wasn't wearing much clothes tonight, and it was a little cold when the wind blew, so he shivered, urging him to get in the car quickly.

Unexpectedly, I saw several reporters following and taking pictures, so he held Fat Ding with one hand, and held Anya's hand with the other, under the pretext of slipping on the ground for fear of falling, probably swearing "sovereignty", at this moment, he was a little cautious......

The time is in a hurry, from the nearest road to the direction of the Broadway Winter Garden, I accidentally saw the crew of "Friends" halfway, Los Angeles rarely snows, and the snow scene is going to come to New York, only Courtney Cox, the actress, is present, and she is not familiar with her, so I stopped and said hello before continuing to set off, and got two apples from her as a small gift.

Giving apples on Christmas Eve is a characteristic product of China, people believe that this is "Ping An Fruit", eating it can be peaceful, after telling Anya how the Chinese people spend Christmas, she replied that she would keep the apples and eat them on Christmas Eve......

Sitting in the car, Han Xuan asked Jason, who was driving, "It's almost Christmas, give you a holiday to accompany Miss Molly?" ”

"No, there are a lot of tourists going to Las Vegas on Christmas, and she recently hired a few clerks to help take care of the café, and she will come to me when she has time, you have been staying in New York recently, right?"

"I don't know yet, maybe I go home and play skiing......"

Jason's face was just beginning to be resentful, and he listened to Han Xuan continue: "Fun with you, I've been staying in New York recently, let her come over, I can find you."

What gifts do you want this Christmas?

I've sent clothes, I've sent belts, I don't know what to send this time, do you want autographed collector's edition books? ”

"It can be discounted, my money is used to buy Gossip shares, and I have been poor lately." Secretary Dawson, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said.

"It's vulgar to give money."

Jason hurriedly said, "No, no, no! I like this kind of vulgarity. ”

"Then it was so happily decided that each person would have a Vacheron Constantin watch."

“…… Okay, I knew you wouldn't be so picky. ”

Broadway is not a place, it originally meant "wide street", because of the many theaters on both sides, it is an important place for American theater and musicals, so it has become synonymous with performance.

When they arrived at the Winter Garden Theater, it was exactly 8:25 a.m., and they bought the best front-row tickets, and the manager hurriedly led them in.

The musical "Cat" premiered in 1981 and has been performed more than 6,000 times around the world, making it one of the most successful musical and dance dramas so far.

In the Western upper class, going to the opera was considered a high-class cultural activity, but now it is becoming more and more popular, and the price is acceptable to them, attracting many tourists.

The scene was very orderly, there was no noise, the occupancy rate was only about half, and they had just found a place to sit down, and the curtain was opened......
