Entertaining Children

Facing Jin's accusation beside him, Xiao Yao didn't explain, but just smiled wryly.

Of course, Jin didn't give Xiao Yao a chance to explain. After calling Xiao Yao a coward, Jin didn't look at Xiao Yao again, and quickly left and returned to the area he was in charge of to sort out the products that were knocked off the shelves just because he was chasing a thief. After the police arrived in a while, as the person involved, she had to go to the police station to take notes. She had to hurry up and tidy up the messed up areas by the thief and herself in the area she was in charge of.

Xiao Yao, on the other hand, helped up the shopping cart that tripped the thief with a calm face, and began to sort out the scattered products on the ground.

Not long after, the police arrived and took the three thieves away. As a witness at the scene, Jin also went to the police station to make notes.

Several white shop assistants who successfully caught several thieves also got together and excitedly chatted about their heroic deeds after sending the police away. However, in their conversation, they did not express dissatisfaction or contempt for Xiao Yao's performance just like Jin did. After all, everyone knows that Xiao Yao is just an international exchange student from Huaxia, and he is only a high school student. His handsome face and usually quiet performance make everyone feel that he is facing three vicious black youths, especially the other party. With a knife in your hand, it's perfectly normal to react that way.

The episode of working overtime in the supermarket on the first day passed quickly, and nothing special happened in the next few days, and the time soon came to the weekend, which was the day when Betty invited Xiao Yao to visit her home.

Beverly Hills is located between Calabasas and Los Angeles. It is about an hour's drive from Smith's house to Betty's villa on Beverly Hills. The distance is neither far nor close. Xiao Yao wanted to talk to Mrs. Smith no matter what.

"Do you need me to drive you there?" Xiao Yao was going to a friend's house as a guest. Regardless of whether that friend was a star or not, Mrs. Smith had no reason to object, she just asked enthusiastically.

"No need." Xiao Yao didn't know how long he would stay at Betty's house this time, so he didn't want to bother Mrs. Smith too much, and shook his head and refused, "I don't know how long I will stay, so I still Let's take a taxi."

"I think I can bring back a Keith Craig's autographed record for you." Xiao Yao smiled and said to Dean, who looked at him enviously. The band originally planned to perform the songs of the "Daydream" band on the school's anniversary day. It can be seen that Dean should be a fan of the "Daydream" band.

"You really understand me." Dean immediately came over with a smile and punched Xiao Yao on the shoulder.

As a fan of the "Daydream" band, Dean is very eager to have a signed record of Keith Craig, the lead singer and soul of the band. It is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Xiao Yao to visit Craig's house.

But Xiao Yao came as a guest as a friend, and he wasn't sure if Xiao Yao would feel ashamed if he went to ask a friend for an autograph, so he hesitated and didn't speak to Xiao Yao.

The residential area of ​​Beverly Hills is home to many luxury homes of the stars of American sports and entertainment. Here, it is not surprising to see any luxury cars, but it is very rare for taxis to appear here. And Xiao Yao majestically appeared in a taxi in front of Betty Bellett and Keith Craig's luxurious villa in Beverly Hills.

"Hi, Jan! Welcome." Because the time of arrival was informed in advance, when Xiao Yao rang the doorbell of Craig's house, it was Betty who opened the door to greet Xiao Yao in person.

"Hi, Betty!" Xiao Yao smiled and greeted Betty who came to the gate to greet her.

"Come in." Betty smiled and turned Xiao Yao into the house, glanced at the empty space at the door, and asked Xiao Yao strangely: "Why didn't you see your car? How did you come here?"

"Hey, Betty, don't forget that I'm from China, and I can only get a driver's license at the age of eighteen, not at the age of sixteen in the United States. I came here by taxi." Xiao Yao reminded Betty with a wry smile.

"Oh, my fault!" Betty patted her forehead in frustration, "I should have sent a car to pick you up."

Betty really ignored the fact that Chinese people can only test for a driver's license at the age of eighteen. In the United States, a country where a driver’s license can be used as an ID card, the first thing most children of ordinary families do when they reach the age of 16 is to get a driver’s license, let alone those rich second-generation, The second generation of stars. She remembered that Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi had told her that Xiao Yao was China's second-generation star, and buying a car should not be a problem for him, but they forgot that the age limit for driving licenses in China was different from that in the United States.

"It's okay," Xiao Yao comforted with a smile, "Taking a taxi to Beverly Hills, the rate of turning heads along the way is much higher than taking a private car, I think it's very cool."

"Okay," Betty also smiled, "but for the safety of other drivers on the road, let my driver take you when you go back, so as not to cause accidents when they look back at the rare taxi in Beverly Hills. "

"Okay, I agree." Xiao Yao smiled and spread his hands.

Then, Xiao Yao did not take back his outstretched hands, but continued to spread them out to Betty: "I know that according to American etiquette, I should bring a bottle of good wine as a gift for visiting guests. But American law stipulates that merchants are not allowed Selling alcohol to young people under the age of 21, so I couldn't buy alcohol, so I had to come empty-handed. By the way, this is the American law I hate the most. When I was in China, when I graduated from junior high school Almost drunk, no one interfered."

"It's okay. At my house, if you want to drink, I'll give you alcohol." Betty said to Xiao Yao who complained about the American law, "It doesn't matter even if you get drunk."

"Hey, it's illegal for you to do this." Xiao Yao followed Betty and turned around and walked into the house.

"It's illegal or not, I don't care." Betty raised her head slightly and said.

"This is not something a public figure should say." Xiao Yao continued to tease.

"At home, no one is a public figure." Betty said confidently.

"Also, since you said that you should bring a present at the door, then as compensation for not having a present at the door, you will play us a piano piece later. The last time I heard you play the piano was seven years ago. After such a long time, you must have played the piano better." Betty continued.

"Your husband plays music. He plays the piano at your house. I'm afraid he will take this as my provocation to him, and I'm afraid he will be unhappy." Xiao Yao joked.

"So what? It's true that Keith is better at playing the guitar, but when it comes to playing the piano, I don't think Keith can compare to you." Betty said indifferently.

"Now I'm really unhappy." Following the words, a young man in his thirties came out.

"Hello, Yang. Nice to meet you, welcome to my house." The young man only maintained his dissatisfied expression for two seconds, then put on a smiling face and extended his hand to Xiao Yao.

"Hello, Keith, nice to meet you. The tattoo is very beautiful." Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and shook hands with the young man, and praised the tattoo on the forearm that was exposed outside.

"Thank you." Keith Craig responded with a smile, and then said to Xiao Yao: "It happens that there will be a party at my house tonight, and some friends will come later, I hope you have a good night .”

"Thank you!" This time it was Xiao Yao's turn to say thank you. It is common for American celebrities to like to party ladders, Xiao Yao was not particularly surprised by this.

"Okay, let's have dinner first. Let's talk at the table." Seeing that the two had officially met, Betty greeted them.

Although school will end earlier on Friday, Xiao Yao still has to go back to Smith's house to change clothes, plus more than an hour's drive, it is almost time for dinner when Xiao Yao arrives at Craig's house.

Probably because she took Xiao Yao's complaint seriously, during dinner, Betty actually asked the servant to prepare red wine for Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao unceremoniously picked up the wine glass and drank. Speaking of which, this was Xiao Yao's first drink since he came to the United States.

As a member of a rock band, even if he is a father, there is no shortage of rebellious factors in Keith's body. Naturally, he has no objection to Xiao Yao, a seventeen-year-old kid drinking.

"I've seen Betty's mobile phone recording of your band's performance on the school anniversary. Jan, I want to know, did you really write the song "Immortals"?" During the dinner, Keith mentioned the band's performance on the school day The song said.

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, "What do you think?"

"It's great!" Keith raised his hands and gave a thumbs up, then looked at Xiao Yao eagerly and said, "Can you sell it to me?"

"Sorry, I can't." Xiao Yao shook his head apologetically.

Hearing Xiao Yao's answer, Keith looked at Xiao Yao in surprise and said, "You rejected my offer without even hearing it? And if this song is sung by my "Daydream", it will definitely be famous." It will be higher, and your name will be known by more people."

"It has nothing to do with the price." Xiao Yao looked back at Keith seriously and said, "This is our band's first song, and it is also the song with the same name as our band. So although the copyright is mine, the right to use it can only be Our band. As for myself, having fun is the most important thing. Personal popularity, whether in China or the United States, I believe that as long as my performance is good enough, I will naturally be known by more people.”

"Well, that's a good idea." Hearing Xiao Yao's firm refusal, instead of being angry or dissatisfied, Keith praised Xiao Yao again. He has been immersed in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and he has seen too many bands or groups disintegrate. The reason why his "Daydream" band has existed for more than ten years is also because he has the same relationship with Xiao Xiao in this aspect. Haruka had the same thought.

"Yang is a genius. If you want to be famous, I believe it will not be difficult." Betty also added, "Don't forget that besides playing music, Yang was also a talented young photographer..."

"Speaking of photography, do you have any new works recently?" Betty said, looking at Xiao Yao and saying, "I haven't seen the photography works of ys for a year, do you want me to introduce some photography works to you here? project to play?"

"Hey, who said that I don't have any photos this year?" Xiao Yao said to Betty a little funny: "During this year's Men's Basketball World Championships, the China Men's Basketball photo special published by the French "Sports Album" is my work in the first half of this year. .”

"Huaxia men's basketball team? I haven't paid attention to it." Betty shook her head.

"Hey, Betty." Xiao Yao said a little dissatisfied, "Although the American men's basketball team is well-deserved to dominate the basketball world, you shouldn't be so contemptuous of teams from other countries."

"Really?" Betty looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "Then will you pay attention to the American table tennis team?"

"Uh...I'm speechless." The words really made Xiao Yao a little speechless.

Just at this moment, Keith relieved Xiao Yao's embarrassment, "Yang, I guess you are a basketball fan, are you interested in watching an NBA game live?"

"Of course." Xiao Yao nodded, "I am very much looking forward to watching a NBA game live." (To be continued.)
