Chu Xiao was fully prepared for the more than 12-hour flight, and after the airport security check, he specially bought a large bag of snacks, and brought it to the suitcase of the plane, prepared noise-canceling headphones, U-shaped pillows, and even slippers, pillows, and plush cats.

Chen Xize and Chu Xiao sat next to each other, and after the plane entered the stratosphere, I saw her take off the suitcase and take out the same object from it.

Chu Xiao watched the drama with potato chips in his arms, looking like he was on vacation.

She is wearing sunglasses today, except for the security check, she has not taken them off, and she is still wearing sunglasses at the moment.

In that brief moment, Chen Xize still saw that her eyes were slightly red.

Chen Xize stretched out his hand, patted Chu Xiao's hairy head, and motioned for her to take off her headphones. Chu Xiao did so, and specially handed over a bag of snacks.

"Achu, no matter what happens, you can tell me."

"It's nothing." After venting alone last night, Chu Xiao told herself that this time she came to Los Angeles to study and relax, and she decided to leave everything behind her emotions and work, and wait until she came back.

"By the way, I remember you did your master's degree at the University of Southern California."

Chen Xize nodded, he was eight years older than Chu Xiao, after graduating from the undergraduate degree of Zhongchuan, he was admitted to the University of Southern California for a master's degree, returned to China after studying abroad, and single-handedly expanded Dawn Pictures.

"No wonder you have such a wide network of contacts overseas."

Many international students studying abroad are mixed in the Chinese circle, but Chen Xize is indeed a good friend, and he and Davis met during their study abroad.

"Do you plan to go to graduate school?" In fact, when Chu Xiao was in her junior year, Chen Xize suggested that she come out to work after studying for a master's degree, but Chu Xiao didn't like to study theories and write papers, she was a doer, and she started her internship in her senior year, and she had already decided to work hard to become a regular in Guangqi Pictures.

"Actually, when I was in college, I was always anxious to work and make money, so I moved out of my home completely." Chu Xiao rarely talked about family matters with Gu Ziyu, she was only willing to talk to Chen Xize, "If you want to study abroad, you have to ask for three or four hundred thousand, right?" At that time, I didn't have much savings, so I didn't think about going to graduate school, let alone studying abroad, I just wanted to be independent as soon as possible. ”

"You were short of money at that time, why didn't you tell me."

Chu Xiao shook his head again and again: "The living expenses will still be given to me, but I don't want to spend more of his money to study." In the past few years, I have a little savings, and after leaving Guangqi, I want to leave time to study and recharge. ”

"USC, it's a good choice."

Not only is it a good choice, Chu Xiao is extremely yearning for the University of Southern California, but she doesn't dare to say that she can be admitted.

After more than ten hours of flying journey, Chu Xiao enthusiastically pulled Chen Xize to ask him about his study abroad, only to know that his study abroad life was not as glamorous as he imagined.

Chinese people in foreign countries will be more or less discriminated against. Chen Xize also only made friends in the Chinese circle at first. Halfway through the first semester, when he and Davis were in the same group to complete the short film shooting, they had a big fight due to the disagreement of the shooting concept, and the two sides got into the hospital, or the clinic next door.

It's also interesting, I lay in the hospital for a few days, because I watched a few movies together, and after exchanging and discussing, there were a lot of disputes, but I also found a consensus in the general direction, they are all people who are obsessed with filmmaking, chatting and chatting, and they have become friends.

"I can't imagine that you will have a young and vigorous fight." In Chu Xiao's eyes, Chen Xize is a brother similar to his predecessors, elegant and dignified, and he can even fight like a hairy boy.

"You don't seem to have seen me when I was younger." More than thirty, it is true that she is not young anymore, Chen Xize looked at Chu Xiao, she was wearing sunglasses, she did not wear makeup today, and the small half of her face was exposed, and her skin was still moist, which was the same as her appearance when she was twenty.

"Whether it's studying or working, I've always regarded you as a benchmark." Chu Xiao is not a top student, but he also has a lot of cleverness, and when he was studying, he was not less lazy.

"Then I have to work harder, worthy of you to take me as a benchmark, if you really decide to take the graduate school entrance examination, I will also review it by the way and give you some guidance." Chu Xiao's practical ability is outstanding, but in terms of theory, there is indeed a lot to make up.

The twelve-hour journey, sleeping, chatting, and passing very quickly.

Outside the airport, the orange California sun is overhead, and the temperature rises in the 20 degrees Celsius in October.

The road is winding, not as good as the country, but the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the blue sea next to the highway are extremely beautiful.

Entering the urban area, it is still dominated by low houses, with a few buildings scattered around. It's completely different from Shanghai.

Get off the highway and pass through a residential area.

Chu Xiao loves the bungalows in Los Angeles. On both sides of the road, the lawns of the courtyards of each house have been cared for, bathed in the sun, and the appearance of the houses is not uniform, highlighting the different aesthetics of the owner's family.

When chasing "Modern Family" before, Chu Xiao also thought that if he came to Los Angeles to play, he must rent a big house for a party.

Another thing Chu Xiao was surprised that Chen Xize actually had a real estate in Los Angeles, which he bought during his graduate studies. The rise in housing prices alone has already covered his tuition fees, and it is worthy of Mr. Chen, and this investment concept was put into practice when he was studying.

The house is located in Malibu Beach, and the mansions with different designs along the street are dazzling.

In the end, Chu Xiao even forgot to pick up his suitcase. She stood in the courtyard and watched, the intricately carved marble combined with the floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious and transparent, with the sunset in the distance and the sound of the sea tide in her ears.

It's a house that makes you want to stay on it when you look at it.

The house is cleaned every week, and knowing that Chen Xize has come on a business trip this week, he has specially rearranged it and replaced it with delicate peonies, household items and fresh ingredients.

Chu Xiao put away his luggage, turned on his phone, and glanced at his friend request.

On the plane, she had already changed her mobile phone card, and she couldn't receive domestic calls and messages.

Gu Ziyu sent a few messages, but thought that Chu Xiao might not receive them, so he had to send a friend request.

Chu Xiao stared at the red prompt for a moment, but didn't pass it.

"He knows you're with me, let you pass."

"Did he say I'm going to pass it?"

Chu Xiao snatched Chen Xize's mobile phone and pressed the voice directly: "Don't bother Mr. Chen anymore." ”

As soon as Chu Xiao's message was sent, Gu Ziyu had already broadcast a voice call, and she was nervous and accidentally pressed the green button.

"I know you're still angry, add my WeChat, and I'll explain to you."

"I don't need you to explain, anyway, you're a forgetful person, so it's better to forget that you had a girlfriend like me."

"If I forget anything, I won't forget you."

"Hmph, I'm sorry, I already have a new love, I forgot about you a long time ago." Chu Xiao said angry words, purely for revenge. Without waiting for Gu Ziyu to reply, she had already hung up.
