Chapter 14: The Blackberry Moment

In the afternoon, Keys, who was four years younger than Jamie, returned to the ranch.

Unlike Beth, who has to fight Jamie at all times, Keith is completely Jamie's little fan.

As soon as he got out of the car, Keith found Jamie with a thick stack of "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire".

These are the books that classmates ask Keith to help find Jamie for autographs.

Originally, Keith was going to send the books to New York and ask Jamie to sign them before sending them back.

Now it doesn't have to be that much trouble.

After Jamie signed for Keys, the Dutton family drove to Riverdale Manor except for John who stayed at the ranch.

Jamie left the RV at the ranch and drove out of the garage a sixteenth birthday present that John had given him last year.

A military version of the Hummer H1.

It can be seen that John is indeed partial to Jamie.

Also a sixteenth birthday present, Beth only received a Ford Mustang SVT Cobra this year.

And John actually planned to give Jamie a better car at the beginning, after all, it was the first car in Jamie's life, which was even more important in the eyes of young Americans than whether his girlfriend was the first time or not.

In his last life, John knew a local mine owner and bought a George Patton off-road vehicle, which drove like a tank on the road, which was very stylish.

As a result, I found a car dealer and inquired about it, and I found out that there was no car brand called George Patton in the United States at all, or it had not had time to establish it.

Later, John told Jamie about it, and Jamie was very glad that John was not cheated.

Because the so-called top-of-the-line American off-road vehicle George Patton is essentially an IQ tax for the babies of Asia's rich.

It looks like an armored car, but it's actually a good thing.

To be armored but not armored, to have cross-country ability but not to be able to go cross-country.

The most important thing is that a car is so awesome, and it can be hit by a Kia K3 on the road.

General Patton died in a car accident that year, and if he knew about this scene, he probably wouldn't even be able to hold down the coffin board.

The same car is called Rhino in the United States, and the number of buyers is even rarer than that of George Patton in China.

Even the Americans themselves don't want to see the car.

Keys was very fond of Jamie's Hummer, and he was originally arranged to ride in his eldest brother Lee's Ford F350, so he deliberately came to rub Jamie's car.

Actually, it's not a rub.

Because Jamie promised to give him the car when Keith got his driver's license at the age of sixteen.

Anyway, this car is placed in the ranch, and no one usually drives it at all.

The group drove to Riverdale Manor, and after getting out of the car, Serena was surprised to find that there was a beautiful lake here.

John bought the valley and dammed it downstream, creating an artificial lake.

Nestled in the woods, you can walk a short walk to the lake, and you can open the windows to see the beautiful mountain and lake views.

Serena fell in love with the place on the spot, and the first thing she did when she entered the house was to call her mother, Lily, and strongly suggested that she take the time to bring her brother Eric over for a vacation.

While talking on the phone, I took out my camera and prepared to take more photos of this place and send them to my friends in New York.

Lily reminds Serena on the phone not to travel and to remember to take the time to call her grandmother, Sissi, who has always been concerned about her.

Serena said that she had just spoken to her grandmother on the phone two days ago.

Lily then asked what was going on between Serena and Blair, and Serena had not contacted Blair when she returned to New York before, so whether the two had a conflict.

Serena took her phone in her hand, admitting that there was something wrong with Blair, but she didn't say anything about what Nate had confessed to her.

Lily hopes that Serena will reconcile with Blair, after all, the two used to be such good friends.

Serena promised to find a chance to talk to Blair.

Hanging up the phone, Jamie walks into the room and tells Serena that they're going to have an authentic BBQ by the lake for dinner, and the main dish is very luxurious with the finest Yellowstone beef.

Lee prepares to grill some Tomahawk steak, while also preparing to process a portion of the roast in the style of Texas Grill.

Jamie cut some beef and prepared to grill the beef skewers.

Although the soul comes from the Celestial Empire, this body is still accustomed to eating some American food.

It's okay to eat the food of the Celestial Empire once in a while, but eating it every day is as unaccustomed as eating a steak burger every day in the Celestial Empire.

On the contrary, Serena and Keith are very fond of the beef skewers that Jamie bakes, and even the addition of chili can't stop their enthusiasm.

After the meal, the three brothers, Lee, Jamie, and Keith, each carrying a bottle of beer, sat by the lake and chatted.

Beth laughed at the three big men for daring to drink beer for such a boring play, and pulled Serena back to the cottage and began to drink.

Not surprisingly, the two drank too much again.

Serena is finally carried back to her room by Jamie.

The next morning, Serena was woken up by a phone call from New York.

A night of hangover made her head dizzy, and she sat up from the bed and glanced at the time on her phone, it was only 6:45.

"Blair, what's the matter with calling me so early?"

Blair on the other end of the line walked down the hallway outside the Constance High School classroom, cell phone in hand.

"The first class in the morning is over, and you're still sleeping? Oh, sorry, forget you're in Montana, which is the mountain time zone, two hours behind New York time. ”

There was no apology in his tone, only dissatisfaction.

Serena brushed her hair and asked Blair what he wanted to tell her.

"Nothing, I just wanted to confirm if you'll be back to school this year."

Blair replied in a tsundere tone.

As the B queen of the school, her pride does not allow herself to show even a little concern to her former best friend on the phone.

Although she actually cares about Serena in her heart.

"Of course, Jamie and I will be back in New York together by October."

"Well, I have good news and bad news for you at the same time!"

Blair took his phone in a different hand.

"The good news is that I have forgiven you for saying goodbye last year, and although I know that none of this was your intention, you should at least tell me the truth in the first place, instead of hiding it for so long."

Serena told Blair on the phone that she was really sorry.

Before he could finish speaking, Blair's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hear the bad news first! There's a new transfer student at the school, Rebecca Paltrow, and I bet you didn't follow the 'Gossip Queen' blog at all during your travels, otherwise you'll know that this White Lotus has seriously threatened my position and your position in the school. ”

Serena then remembered that the last time she followed the blog of "Gossip Queen" was when she left for New York.

Coupled with the fact that her mind is not particularly clear now, she only thinks that Blair may be making a little fuss.

was about to comfort each other for a few words, and then went back to sleep.

Just then, Serena suddenly heard the horn of the fire truck on the other end of the phone.

I was about to ask Blair what had happened, but the cell phone signal was cut off.

Serena called again, but she couldn't get through.

At this time, Jamie also woke up and asked Serena what had happened.

"I don't know, just now Blair called me, and then the call was interrupted while talking, I don't know why, I can't get through to her right now, and she won't reply to text messages."

Jamie glanced at the time, and then realized what was going on over there in New York.

He got out of bed barefoot, found a handheld figure and handed it to Serena.

"If phone calls and texts don't work, you can try this."
