Christmas is coming, and the winter vacation at Harvard has started for quite a while. Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year in the West. In the spirit of going to the countryside, Xu Ning and Lu Ci decided to let Song Bai and the others come together to get together and get together. It's another lively way.
Several men finished dinner at Xu Ning's house, and then greeted them to go to a nearby nightclub.
Compared to a relatively quiet place like a bar, a nightclub is the first choice for young people. While drinking fine wine, you can also twist your body and relax with the unusually dressed dj, and maybe you can meet it here. To the girl you like, take her for a spring night.
Most of the nightclubs they come to are students from several universities here in Cambridge, and the cultural environment and safety issues here are guaranteed.
Pushing open the door of the store and entering, a burst of heavy metal music rushed over. A door separated two worlds, one peaceful and the other noisy, distinct.
Because it is Christmas Eve, today this nightclub is also overcrowded. Relatively Westerners occupy the vast majority in the store, while Asians are very few.
"Hey, Xu Rui, Lu Ci, this way." Before they could find a slightly looser position, they heard a familiar voice in the nightclub.
Although the name was awkwardly called, it was still understandable.
The five Xu Rui followed the voice and saw that the DJ tonight was actually an acquaintance, and they lived in an apartment building with them, but Xu Rui and Lu Ci lived on the seventh floor, and this white DJ named Carl Living on the floor above them, sometimes the landlord of the apartment building will hold parties, and usually people in the whole apartment will gather together, eating barbecue, talking, laughing and laughing.
Really speaking, Xu Rui is regarded as a popular man in this apartment, because the barbecue he makes makes everyone praised. For this reason, almost the landlord has to queue up every month, and almost no one is absent. Of course That was when Xu Rui decided to participate.
Xu Rui raised his hand and gestured to Karl, and then found an empty seat to sit down. This nightclub is very large, perhaps because of the financial resources of the boss behind it. This is also the first time Xu Rui has come here. Usually he and Lu Ci When you go out, you always go to a bar with an elegant and relatively quiet environment.
Facing the afternoon sun, tasting the wine in front of you, looking at the magazine in your hand, or setting up your camera to take pictures of passing pedestrians, sometimes just going to the bar to listen to the country band singing a few songs, listening to a few piano music .
Several people ordered wine and leaned on the bar, watching the men and women writhing their bodies on the dance floor.
The topic of gender here is relatively open. At least now when you are in a relationship in China, you may feel shy when you hold a hand on the road, let alone kissing in public on the streets.
But now they don't have this kind of restrained shackles in front of them, men and women hug each other, you pinch my ass, I bite your collarbone, it is very sloppy.
A few of them are used to it. After all, you can see close lovers cuddling and kissing me at school. Even if they can't do it, they can at least control their expressions.
When they first came to the United States, Song Bai and the others saw this situation and wanted to run away. It was almost half a year before they got used to it.
Lu Ci poked Xu Rui's arm and pointed at a person inside, "Mother Bessie is here too."
Xu Ningshun Luci looked over, and under the flickering light, it was easy to see the familiar face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but be stained with a smile.
Bessie is an outdated pole dancer girl, now in her forties and almost 50 years old, she can clearly see wrinkles, but she still likes to paint heavy makeup, she still likes to go in and out of such noisy and lively places, and she There were two marriages many years ago, and the husbands were still quite wealthy. Unfortunately, they both fell ill and passed away. Bessie inherited the inheritance of the two husbands and became a well-known rich woman. Of course, she was still not understood by some. The insider was crowned with a title, called Black Widow.
She has three villas in Cambridge, all of which have been rented out by her. Now she lives in an apartment with Xu Rui and the others. Perhaps she has experienced the shock of two marriages. Bessie hasn’t married since then, but she’s around But there has never been a lack of a male partner. Now the one who is going to be an elite man in his thirties, and Bessie are probably in true love, but both of them said they would not get married.
Probably found them, Bessie looked over, blew a kiss at them, gave two eyebrows, and the two also smiled and gave Bessie a gesture.
Maybe because she was tired, Bessie squeezed out from the crowd, and the men and women around greeted Bessie. It was obvious that she was already a frequent visitor here.
"You guys came here to find a beautiful encounter?" Sit down in a chair next to him, and ordered a glass of concoction from the bartender. "Tomorrow is Christmas. If you want to have dinner in the evening, I will call Daniel."
"Of course." Lu Ci quickly agreed, "If you don't eat barbecue at Christmas, how can it be called Christmas, right?"
"Yes, it really is a little cute." The bright red Dankou nails patted Lu Ci's shoulder twice.
Maybe Bessie would seem to behave indiscriminately with other men, but to these two young people, he is quite an elder demeanor. Maybe Bessie is the kind of rabbit who doesn't eat the grass at the nest.
"But if you are looking for Aventure, there is really a very beautiful lady tonight!" With slightly loose fingers, she pointed to a spot in the nightclub.
Several people looked over, only to find that it was a little dim over there, and they couldn't see anything clearly. With the addition of half a dance floor, the flashing lights made it even more vague.
"I'm not a casual person." Lu Ci curled up his lips and smiled romantically. "Bessie, my body is very precious. How can I get it to any woman?"
Bessi laughed and trembled. This was not deliberate, but innate. Perhaps it was a hue for self-protection in order to survive when he was young, but it is a pity that this color cannot be wiped off now.
Because Bessie always has the illusion of deliberate harassment with people, her relationship with women can be said to be very poor, but it is good to get along with the women in the apartment, otherwise Bessie now has a million-dollar rich woman in her hands. I won't be wronged in this kind of place.
Before, Lu Ci asked Bessie why he didn't live in a big city like New York, but stayed in Cambridge, which has a relatively slow pace.
Bessie’s answer is simple. Cambridge is a college town in Boston, Massachusetts. She was born in poverty and did not have the opportunity to study, so she chose this place to settle down in the end.
"Hey!" Carl walked over. At this time, there was a band on it, singing now popular songs, and most of the people on the dance floor were scattered, leaving only a few dog-abusing men and women hugging each other. Swaying life.
"Hey, you were handsome just now." Xu Rui touched his fist.
"I have vision." Karl gave him a thumbs up, "Tomorrow Christmas..."
"I want to eat barbecue." Lu Ci caught Carl's words. "Bessie has already suggested that. Let's talk to the people in the apartment tomorrow morning. In the evening, we will eat barbecue outside for Christmas."
Carlton was overjoyed when he stepped forward and gave Bessie a big hug, "Oh, my goodness, Bessie, I really love you so much."
"Mi Rabbit!" Bessie smiled brilliantly. Through the contours of her face, one can imagine Bessie when she was young, who must be very beautiful and temperamental.
In fact, Bessie seemed to have a melancholic aura on the surface, but in fact she had a funny comparison in her heart.
Then the five lads saw Bessie holding Carl's face and kissed it heavily, and a **** lip print hung directly on his face.
The three Song Bai laughed wildly in their hearts. They were so **** enthusiastic, but unfortunately they couldn't bear it.
Xu Rui was holding the wine glass and looking around in the nightclub, but at this moment he saw a girl.
This girl is beautiful, there is no doubt about it, especially the long golden hair that is as brilliant as seaweed, and the special eye-catching. At this time, the other party gave Xu Rui a sideways, but that kind of hazy feeling. But it made him startled.
After the heartbeat, Xu Ning put down the wine glass, got up and walked diagonally across the dance floor, looking in the direction that Bessie was pointing.
Joey Wells, an architecture student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the daughter of the Duke of Wales, has three older brothers on top of Joey, and Joey was born at the age of 40. The daughter of the next generation, the family really loves this daughter, but Joey is a very independent woman, she has her own pursuits and ideals, when the whole family wants her to go to Cambridge University, Joey is determined. I chose MIT.
When she came here, she refused the financial support of her family and came here with a simple salute. When she was free, she would work part-time to earn living expenses.
Today, Joey was asked by his classmates to come here as a substitute, but he did not expect to meet a few alcoholics, and Joey was entangled.
The other party was holding Joey's wrist, full of alcohol, maybe in this kind of place, they would not do anything extraordinary, but Joey still felt sick, and even a tingling sensation on his arm.
Looking at the wine glass handed over by his drunken tongue, Joey's delicate face was stained with anger, and his azure blue eyes were like deep seas, making this anger not seem to have any deterrent effect.
Joey couldn't open his eyes, staring at the wine bottle on the table, wondering if he would pick it up and hit him on the head.
At this moment, I saw a white and slender palm holding the man's wrist, and then saw the man wailing and letting go of her, kneeling on the ground tremblingly, curled up.
Lu Ci: "...Xu Rui actually saved the United States as a hero!"
Bessie saw Xu Rui pulling the blonde girl behind him, flaring her hands on her lips, "Xu Rui, you are really amazing."
"Sir, please respect the women around you. This lady is obviously unwilling." Xu Rui let go of the other's wrist and looked back at the girl who was wearing a burgundy waiter's uniform. She asked softly when she looked closer at the more delicate girl. :"Are you OK?"
"Thank you, thank you very much, I just...oh, god, be careful!" Before Joey could express his gratitude, he saw the man behind him picking up a wine bottle and pointing it at Xu Rui's head. When she hit it, she covered her mouth, almost not frightened.
Xu Rui turned slightly to the side, the opponent's movement failed, and his whole body rushed forward two steps inertially. He raised his slender legs, his knees directly pressed against the man's abdomen, and then his arms were bent, and his elbows dropped very well. When he reached the man's back, there was a muffled groan, and the man was smashed to the ground, and the wine bottle went out grunting.
His movements were swift and sharp, without the slightest sloppyness. This series of movements was completed almost instantaneously, making everyone around him unable to react.
Several companions of this man looked at Xu Rui's back dumbfoundedly, and then suddenly four words popped up in their minds: Chinese Kungfu!
"Oh, my goodness, my goodness, it's Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu!"
The people nearby who saw this scene were all excited, looking at Xu Rui's eyes as if they were looking at a hero.
When Bessie saw this, she stepped on her high heels and rushed forward excitedly, and put a bright red lip print around Xu Rui's neck.
"Baby, you are really great, are you kung fu? Is it kung fu?"
Xu Rui: "..."
Lu Ci came forward with his trouser pockets in his pockets, "This is martial art, how can you tell that this is Chinese Kungfu?"
He came over to see what the beauty that could make Xu Rui look like was like, but after a glance, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled.
No wonder, this girl is indeed very beautiful, even exquisite and excessive, it seems that it is easy for people to arouse a sense of protection.
Didn't expect Xu Rui to like this type of girl?
I said before that Chinese girls are better, but now it doesn't seem to be the case at all.
"Learned from your brother-in-law?" Lu Ci leaned over and asked.
Xu Rui nodded and gave a hmm.
The troublemakers seemed to know Bessie. Seeing that the relationship between the other party and Xu Rui was very good, they had no choice but to give up. They stepped forward and supported the beaten companion, and left dingyly. .
Joey looked at Xu Rui before and was really a little blinded, but at this moment, he looked down upon this handsome, black-haired and black-eyed man in casual clothes. He didn't seem to be blind at all. He even thought that he was so handsome that he could shine. .
"Hello, my name is Joey Hols, thank you very much!" Joey reached out to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui squeezed it up, his palm was soft with a slight warmth, very soft and very small, "You have already said it."
"But, can I invite you to Christmas tomorrow?" Xu Rui continued.
Several people around him opened their eyes wide, and then gave Xu Rui a thumbs up together.
This buddy usually looks very cold and alienated, but he didn't expect a volcano to live in his heart, awesome.
"Okay?" Joey actually had other thoughts in her heart. She wanted to go to a teacher and learn kung fu with Xu Rui.
"Of course, at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, or where I can pick you up."
"No, I can take a taxi." Joey said excitedly, holding his small chest.
"Okay." Xu Rui left Joey's apartment address, and then because the other party still had to work, he and Lu Ci and the others went back to continue drinking and chatting.
The crowd gathered around Xu Rui and looked at him inquisitively.
"Xu Rui, do you like that blond girl?" Carl is older than Xu Rui, but he is also a young man and a young man who can make noise. Fortunately, this guy doesn't play DJ in an apartment building, otherwise he might be caught in the crowd. Assault.
"Well, don't you think she is very beautiful?" Xu Rui admitted simply.
"It's pretty." In fact, Karl was a little moved, but this blonde girl came here for the first time tonight. If it weren't for Xu Rui to start quickly, he might have to wait for the nightclub to end and strike up a conversation. Now he just rested. This mind.
Lu Ci turned the wine glass in his hand, "When I was traveling in France, who told me that the girls in our country are good, but now you left me and found a blond, you scumbag."
Xu Rui snapped his fingers when he heard the words, "My hands are a little itchy!"
Lu Ci: Weeping, a scumbag still wants to do something to him. Baby Lu is very uneasy.
On Christmas afternoon, everyone in the apartment gathered on the green space in front of the apartment, and the men and women began to get busy.
The preparations started at noon, but there were only about 20 people present today, and the rest took advantage of Christmas to go out for travel or were invited by friends to leave.
In China, the Spring Festival is a day for family reunion, but at Christmas in the United States, it is almost always a party with friends. After all, people on their side are already independent individuals after the age of 18. It's normal not to give you money, and parents have to get together and lively with their friends on such days, and their lives are diversified.
Xu Rui moved the various pickled materials to the table, and everyone gathered around the fire, wearing gloves and starting to put on the meat skewers.
This was bought by all of them. The dinners here are generally made of aa, except for pork belly, beef, chicken wings, and fish. Of course, there are no less vegetables.
Before, they didn't know how delicious the vegetables were just roasted like this, but after eating Xu Rui's food, the feeling that the stomach is cared for can make people happy to fly.
As for the ingredients for the barbecue, Xu Rui had to go to many stores before buying them all at first.
Joey brought the meeting ceremony, put on a set of simple and generous clothes, and greeted the housekeeper in preparation to go out.
"Miss Joey, where are you going?" the housekeeper asked.
Joey knew that the butler would tell her father and mother about her whereabouts, and she did not resist her heart. This in itself was a kind of care.
Parents will not restrict her freedom, but hope to know her whereabouts.
"Today I will go to the Christmas party at apartment 2 on Seine Road. I will be back later. Goodbye Mrs. Michelle."
"You go slowly."
I just walked to the apartment after getting off the car, I saw these people in the courtyard, talking and laughing together. There was a huge fire in the courtyard. Even if it’s Christmas Day, that’s not going to happen. Feeling cold, seeing this scene, will make people's lips can not help but dye a pleasant smile.
"Xu Rui, people are here." Song Bai was facing the door of the apartment and saw Joey standing at the door. He called Xu Rui.
Looking up, I saw a pretty blonde girl in a white cashmere sweater standing in the doorway.
Throwing down the bamboo stick, took off the gloves, got up and walked over, took the meeting gift from Joey, and then found that the girl was looking at herself with a pair of sparkling blue eyes. Xu Rui was not a narcissistic person. That is she has another purpose.
"Come and sit down, you can eat barbecue soon."
"thanks!"
Joey was arranged next to Xu Rui by everyone. The others in the apartment looked at the girl who was walking so close to Xu Rui curiously, winking at Bessie who was smiling at his aunt.
Bessie walked over and murmured to them for a while, and everyone understood that this was the girl Xu Rui liked.
The barbecue was prepared in all hands and feet. Xu Rui put on his apron and stood in front of the grill to start the barbecue. Everyone's eyes were also coveting after Xu Rui's figure.
Upon seeing this, Joey looked at everyone inexplicably, and immediately figured out the reason. It seems that they, like himself, want to worship Xu Rui as a teacher and learn kung fu from her.
Naturally, she couldn't fall behind, so she got up and came to Xu Rui's side thinking about it.
"What can i do for you?"
When everyone saw this, the aunt and uncle smiled collectively on their faces, and the feelings of these two young people are your love for me?
Xu Rui turned to look at the little girl's blown red nose, how cute she looked, so she let her be close to the grill and warm up a little bit.
"I can do it myself, or you can bring them the barbecue for me when the time comes."
"Yes." Joey was very happy to hear Xu Rui's words. It seems that Xu Rui can agree to his request.
However, as the barbecue was gradually cooked, the sauce, chili powder and cumin were sprinkled on top, and the fragrance was blown slightly by the wind. Disharmonious sounds were remembered in the courtyard for a long time, all of which were the movements of the stomach rumbling. .
Even Joey, who is the closest to the barbecue, swallowed several times.
This taste is really mouth-watering and evocative.
The last time they had eaten it more than 20 days ago, it was maddening to think.
"Xu Rui, are you okay?" Carl and a few young men and women came up and saw the golden roasted meat being grilled. The gravy fell into the smokeless carbon, making a sizzling sound. This may be the most beautiful in the world. Music out.
Put more than twenty sticks of roasted meat on the plate and hand it to Karl, "Take it away, the following will be ready soon."
"Xu Rui, we love you so much."
Joey saw a roasted meat that Xu Rui handed over. The golden texture and attractive fragrance were constantly bewitching her taste buds.
"Eat it." Xu Rui smiled.
Joey took it, opened his mouth and took a bite, then sucked and exhaled. It was hot, but delicious.
The teeth were bitten down, the rich gravy and the surface sauce splashed in the mouth, various flavors impacted the taste buds, and the body seemed to sink into it.
She knew that she had misunderstood just now, the look in Xu Rui's eyes was to apprentice the teacher, she was obviously coveting these barbecued meats.
"This Christmas is really so happy." Carl's tears came out, and he looked down at the empty plate and cried completely.
The barbecue on Xu Rui’s side came out one after another. Everyone was sitting around the fire, eating happily, and paired with red wine. No one cared whether they were gentle and modest. Method.
Joey was standing next to Xu Rui, and he was the first to eat everything after baking.
She likes grilled pork belly and grilled mushrooms, and the taste of roast beef is also very delicious, or she likes everything today.
"I'm a Harvard student, majoring in finance and management." Xu Rui picked two bunches of mushrooms down and placed them on Joey's plate.
"I'm at MIT, majoring in architecture." Joey didn't expect Xu Rui to be a Harvard student, and now he has a better impression of him.
It is easy for her to study here as a British person, but Huaxia heard that it is difficult. Since he can come, it shows that he is excellent.
"You can come here often in the future. Do you like Chinese food? I usually cook by myself."
Joey shook his head, "I haven't eaten Chinese food, but can you call me Kung Fu?"
Xu Rui smiled and said, "I didn't use Chinese Kungfu in the nightclub last night, but fighting skills. If you want to learn, I can certainly teach you. Actually, there are gyms in Cambridge that teach you fighting."
She didn't know where to learn fighting skills, but at least Xu Rui could, and she also knew Xu Rui, so she had an advantage.
Joey is not stupid, she knows how to distinguish between good and bad.
Just seeing that the twenty or thirty people here are very friendly to Xu Rui, which shows that he is a very good person. The most important thing is the look in the other party's eyes, which is gentle and convincing.
The people over there are very "sensible" tonight and didn’t bother the young couple. If you have nothing to eat, you can go there to get them. Anyway, there are a lot of materials prepared tonight. The activity room was crazy for a night.
When the last chicken wings were baked, the two of them returned to the group, and everyone raised their glasses to thank Xu Rui.
"Xu Rui, how many years can you stay in the United States?" asked a sleek uncle who was a lecturer at a nearby university, although he was not from Harvard and MIT.
"It will take at least two years," Xu Rui replied.
Bessie held up her wine glass and said in sorrow: "When Xu Rui returns to China, what should we do when we still want to eat barbecue?"
"I can teach you."
As a result, everyone shook their heads.
"We tried it, it's useless!"
Looking at their firm tone of voice, people who didn't know thought it was so great, but now they are using this attitude to express it, which makes Xu Rui dumbfounded.
"Then you go to China at that time, there was also a place in the past," Xu Rui said helplessly.
"Is there a family business to inherit?" As a rich woman, Bessie has always had no pressure to joke. Fortunately, every word she said seemed to be a joke.
"Don't say it, it's true." Xu Rui nodded.
Hearing this, everyone said that after Xu Rui returned home, they would definitely go to visit Xu Rui and then travel.
After being here for a year and a half, Xu Rui met a lot of people. First of all, the people in the apartment are from all walks of life. There are ordinary office workers, educators, and an old couple in academia. There are also reporters from Global Geographic magazine. They live here because the environment here is comfortable and luxury is not excessively pursued.
After eating and drinking, everyone gathered in the activity room, and Xu Rui even sang a song that surprised everyone collectively.
Song Bai's brains in particular burst. They found that Xu Rui was really versatile, and there was nothing he couldn't do. Not to mention his academic excellence, and in other respects, they just smashed their 18 Chang'an Avenues, and they couldn't beat the horse.
When the excitement was over, Xu Rui drove Joey home. He waited for Joey to return home and called him before Xu Rui drove away.
It was almost dawn at this time.
Mrs. Michelle was relieved when she heard the door opening, came out of the room in her pajamas, and saw that Joey was obviously very energetic.
"Miss Joey is back. Did you have a good time last night?"
"Good morning, Mrs. Michely." Joey smiled and hugged each other. "I had a great time last night. I had a kind of barbecue. It tasted very good. I also met a few Chinese people. They are all from Harvard University. My student, Mr. Xu Rui who sent me back, is a very good man."
After Joey greeted him, he went to change his clothes and take a shower to rest.
But Mrs. Michelle was a little dumbfounded.
What did she hear? Miss Joey actually praised a Chinese gentleman, did she like him?
Glancing at Joey's door, Michelle picked up the phone and called the Duke of Halls.
As a duke, the Halls family has no rights. This duke is just a kind of reputation granted by the queen. Of course, the Halls family is rich and it also occupies a certain position among many dukes. The family’s business is very profitable. There are also several large ranches and farms. These will be divided equally among several children. Of course, their baby daughter will inherit a large amount of property.
Therefore, they are more important to the choice of son-in-law than to daughter-in-law.
Now that I heard that my daughter seemed to be in love, the Duke of Halls and his wife almost didn't explode.
For the first time, he wanted to investigate the other party.
The future husband of his daughter must be a good man, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to trust the other party with his 19-year-old daughter.
Xu Rui still didn’t know that he was being watched by Joey’s family. Thinking of Joey’s heart warming, he didn’t have a clue as to how the relationship with the other party was going. many.
Of course, he also hopes that the other party can learn more about him.
The three older brothers of the Hols family heard his father's words during breakfast and learned that their sister actually fell in love with a Chinese, and they were a little bit reluctant.
It's not because of the other party's nationality that there is something wrong, but because the other party was born in China, which is too far away from Britain.
With the baby in their hands, they naturally hope that they can stay in the UK in the future, so that it will be easy to meet each other.
But if they marry to China, how long will it take them to see Joey?
Think about it, the whole family was upset and reluctant.
"I think the two are definitely not suitable!" said Ned, the eldest brother of the Halls family, clenching his fist.
He is fifteen years older than his younger sister. It can be said that his younger sister grew up looking at him. From the tender little ball to the present slim, he sees every step in his eyes and is happy in his heart, although he also fantasizes I took my sister's hand and handed it to other men, but I didn't expect to be sent to the faraway China at this moment.
"Mrs. Michely said that Joey feels good about each other, and the two are not boyfriend and girlfriend now, so don't get excited, eldest brother." The second child Anthony said with relief.
"I'm going to the United States next month, stop by and take a look, you all be quiet sooner and breakfast." The youngest Justin made a final decision.
Anthony nodded repeatedly after hearing the words, "Yes, Justin, you must observe the other party carefully."
"Do not worry."
After Joey got in touch with Xu Rui more, she also began to learn to fight with Xu Rui, but Joey's body was very soft. When she was young, she heard that she learned to dance. Later she also danced, but she spent more time studying. superior.
It's just that this can't be done quickly, so Xu Rui first taught Joey some lethal "anti-wolves".
Joey's high savvy, coupled with his own enthusiasm for this matter, made Xu Rui also an eye-opener.
With daily contact, Xu Rui found that although the girl's life was very delicate, she did not have the slightest squeamishness. On the contrary, she had a hearty personality, and she was also very self-reliant. Of course, she can cook, although it is Western food.
And Joey's face blindness in Huaxia has been greatly improved as he has been in contact with Xu Rui for longer and longer.
She found that she was unconsciously attracted to this man. He is very knowledgeable, can cook, is proficient in music, fighting skills, basketball and other competitive sports. He is also very popular in school and has a gentle personality. He was polite, and it seemed very easy and pleasant to get along with him, and even as long as he was with him, Joey felt particularly safe.
The guidance was over, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon outside.
Xu Rui drove Joey home and called her who was getting off the car at the door of her house.
"Joy, do you have time at noon tomorrow?"
"Of course, what's the matter?" Joey suddenly felt the fawn bump in his chest. Could this be a date invitation?
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Tomorrow is our Chinese New Year. I would like to invite you to my house for dinner. Of course, there are some Lu Ci. You can also bring Mrs. Michely or friends."
While Joey felt a little lost in his heart, he even felt that this man had a noble character.
He didn’t know his identity, and he was definitely not looking at the Halls family to approach her, but Xu Rui was very kind to her. Although she invited her to be a guest at home before, she didn’t go there for more than a month. The place where martial arts is taught is in a sports hall at Harvard University. She seems to be considering her mood and never go to a private place with her.
Joey can feel this.
"I'm honored." She nodded with a smile and agreed.
Staring at Joey's brilliant smile, the azure blue eyes became brighter because of this smile.
"Can you be my girlfriend?" Xu Rui asked awkwardly.
Then I saw the little white face of the co-pilot girl, slowly flushing, her eyes flickering, as if she didn't dare to look at her.
"Am I too abrupt?" Xu Rui's heart tightened.
"No!" Joey shook his head, "I'm very happy, I am willing to be your girlfriend."
Xu Rui seemed to be sprouting, holding Joey's hand, "I'll be nice to you!"
"I believe you, you are a very good man."
"……"friendzoned?
No, Joey has promised to be his girlfriend just now, and he is indeed a very good man, no problem.
"It's late, go back, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow morning."
"OK."
When he returned home, Joey stood at the entrance of the hallway, watching Xu Rui's car leave, and then closed the door reluctantly.
He changed his shoes and came in, opening his mouth to call Mrs. Michely, but seeing Justin sitting in the living room, he thought it was an illusion for a while.
"Justin?" She hurried forward, really Justin herself.
"Mrs. Michely said you have no class today, where did you go?" Justin took her sister to sit down, "Who sent you back just now?"
"I followed Xu Rui to learn martial arts, and he sent me back." Joey poured himself a glass of water, "I just promised Xu Rui to be his girlfriend."
Justin: "..."
Sister, don't you really worry about my brother exploding in place?
"Do you know him?" Justin suppressed his impatience, and communicated with his sister gently and with a smile.
Oops, I'm late.
Knowing that there will be such a result, he should have rushed out just now.
Joey gave Justin a desperate move, nodded and smiled: "I understand that Xu Rui is very good, very very, very good."
enough!
Justin lifted his forehead.
He doesn't want to listen, doesn't want to think, doesn't want to listen.
The four are very, which is enough to show that my sister's heart is very firm, and he has come in vain this time.
Joey didn’t seem to notice his brother’s despair, “Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Xu Rui invited me to his house as a guest. He also asked me to bring Mrs. Michely and friends with me. Since you are here, Justin, come with me tomorrow, Xu Rui said to make Chinese delicacies and I am looking forward to it."
Justin smiled stiffly and nodded weakly, "I'm looking forward to it too."
"That's great." Joey stood up. "I'm going to take a shower. You can do whatever you want."
Watching his sister's back disappear into the room, Justin was lying on the sofa with nothing to love.
Very good? What an ancestor!
I can see that man tomorrow, right? Just so, he will go and see with his own eyes, what is so good about that man, who dares to pursue his sister.
Early in the morning of the Spring Festival, Xu Rui and Lu Ci drove to the supermarket to make a big purchase. The vegetables in the morning were the freshest, so naturally you can't miss it.
"So you and Joey have confirmed the relationship?" Lu Ci asked.
"Um!"
"There are so many good girls in China. You just like a British girl. You say you are not a waste."
Xu Rui sneered, "Isn't there you still? Just work harder."
Love this thing, where's the color of the skin, and the nationality, he fell in love with Joey, which he hadn't expected before.
But Joey doesn't speak Chinese, so it's okay to communicate with his parents. Grandparents can't communicate anymore.
After meeting today, ask Joey if he is interested in learning Chinese. He can also be a teacher.
After shopping in the supermarket, the two left the supermarket with three shopping bags and drove home.
"I haven't eaten cold noodles this year!" Lu Ci lay on the roundabout, looking at Xu Rui with pity. He felt abused this year.
"I have a lot of hot pot." Xu Rui turned around and smiled, "I'll start making it for you in two months."
"I can remember."
When the two of you are here, you and I say a word, and the knock on the door rang.
Stepping forward to open the door, it was actually Joey.
"Hey, Joey, welcome!" Lu Ci saw a handsome brown-haired man with Joey and a middle-aged woman, letting them in.
"Hello Lu Ci, Happy New Year, this is a gift I brought. This is my brother Justin, and this is my housekeeper, Mrs. Michelle."
Lu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the older brother. He was really afraid that this girl would give Xu Rui a prairie.
－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－
Dear fairies, happy Valentine's Day!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Christmas is coming, and the winter vacation at Harvard has started for quite a while. Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year in the West. In the spirit of going to the countryside, Xu Ning and Lu Ci decided to let Song Bai and the others come together to get together and get together. It's another lively way.
Several men finished dinner at Xu Ning's house, and then greeted them to go to a nearby nightclub.
Compared to a relatively quiet place like a bar, a nightclub is the first choice for young people. While drinking fine wine, you can also twist your body and relax with the unusually dressed dj, and maybe you can meet it here. To the girl you like, take her for a spring night.
Most of the nightclubs they come to are students from several universities here in Cambridge, and the cultural environment and safety issues here are guaranteed.
Pushing open the door of the store and entering, a burst of heavy metal music rushed over. A door separated two worlds, one peaceful and the other noisy, distinct.
Because it is Christmas Eve, today this nightclub is also overcrowded. Relatively Westerners occupy the vast majority in the store, while Asians are very few.
"Hey, Xu Rui, Lu Ci, this way." Before they could find a slightly looser position, they heard a familiar voice in the nightclub.
Although the name was awkwardly called, it was still understandable.
The five Xu Rui followed the voice and saw that the DJ tonight was actually an acquaintance, and they lived in an apartment building with them, but Xu Rui and Lu Ci lived on the seventh floor, and this white DJ named Carl Living on the floor above them, sometimes the landlord of the apartment building will hold parties, and usually people in the whole apartment will gather together, eating barbecue, talking, laughing and laughing.
Really speaking, Xu Rui is regarded as a popular man in this apartment, because the barbecue he makes makes everyone praised. For this reason, almost the landlord has to queue up every month, and almost no one is absent. Of course That was when Xu Rui decided to participate.
Xu Rui raised his hand and gestured to Karl, and then found an empty seat to sit down. This nightclub is very large, perhaps because of the financial resources of the boss behind it. This is also the first time Xu Rui has come here. Usually he and Lu Ci When you go out, you always go to a bar with an elegant and relatively quiet environment.
Facing the afternoon sun, tasting the wine in front of you, looking at the magazine in your hand, or setting up your camera to take pictures of passing pedestrians, sometimes just going to the bar to listen to the country band singing a few songs, listening to a few piano music .
Several people ordered wine and leaned on the bar, watching the men and women writhing their bodies on the dance floor.
The topic of gender here is relatively open. At least now when you are in a relationship in China, you may feel shy when you hold a hand on the road, let alone kissing in public on the streets.
But now they don't have this kind of restrained shackles in front of them, men and women hug each other, you pinch my ass, I bite your collarbone, it is very sloppy.
A few of them are used to it. After all, you can see close lovers cuddling and kissing me at school. Even if they can't do it, they can at least control their expressions.
When they first came to the United States, Song Bai and the others saw this situation and wanted to run away. It was almost half a year before they got used to it.
Lu Ci poked Xu Rui's arm and pointed at a person inside, "Mother Bessie is here too."
Xu Ningshun Luci looked over, and under the flickering light, it was easy to see the familiar face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but be stained with a smile.
Bessie is an outdated pole dancer girl, now in her forties and almost 50 years old, she can clearly see wrinkles, but she still likes to paint heavy makeup, she still likes to go in and out of such noisy and lively places, and she There were two marriages many years ago, and the husbands were still quite wealthy. Unfortunately, they both fell ill and passed away. Bessie inherited the inheritance of the two husbands and became a well-known rich woman. Of course, she was still not understood by some. The insider was crowned with a title, called Black Widow.
She has three villas in Cambridge, all of which have been rented out by her. Now she lives in an apartment with Xu Rui and the others. Perhaps she has experienced the shock of two marriages. Bessie hasn’t married since then, but she’s around But there has never been a lack of a male partner. Now the one who is going to be an elite man in his thirties, and Bessie are probably in true love, but both of them said they would not get married.
Probably found them, Bessie looked over, blew a kiss at them, gave two eyebrows, and the two also smiled and gave Bessie a gesture.
Maybe because she was tired, Bessie squeezed out from the crowd, and the men and women around greeted Bessie. It was obvious that she was already a frequent visitor here.
"You guys came here to find a beautiful encounter?" Sit down in a chair next to him, and ordered a glass of concoction from the bartender. "Tomorrow is Christmas. If you want to have dinner in the evening, I will call Daniel."
"Of course." Lu Ci quickly agreed, "If you don't eat barbecue at Christmas, how can it be called Christmas, right?"
"Yes, it really is a little cute." The bright red Dankou nails patted Lu Ci's shoulder twice.
Maybe Bessie would seem to behave indiscriminately with other men, but to these two young people, he is quite an elder demeanor. Maybe Bessie is the kind of rabbit who doesn't eat the grass at the nest.
"But if you are looking for Aventure, there is really a very beautiful lady tonight!" With slightly loose fingers, she pointed to a spot in the nightclub.
Several people looked over, only to find that it was a little dim over there, and they couldn't see anything clearly. With the addition of half a dance floor, the flashing lights made it even more vague.
"I'm not a casual person." Lu Ci curled up his lips and smiled romantically. "Bessie, my body is very precious. How can I get it to any woman?"
Bessi laughed and trembled. This was not deliberate, but innate. Perhaps it was a hue for self-protection in order to survive when he was young, but it is a pity that this color cannot be wiped off now.
Because Bessie always has the illusion of deliberate harassment with people, her relationship with women can be said to be very poor, but it is good to get along with the women in the apartment, otherwise Bessie now has a million-dollar rich woman in her hands. I won't be wronged in this kind of place.
Before, Lu Ci asked Bessie why he didn't live in a big city like New York, but stayed in Cambridge, which has a relatively slow pace.
Bessie’s answer is simple. Cambridge is a college town in Boston, Massachusetts. She was born in poverty and did not have the opportunity to study, so she chose this place to settle down in the end.
"Hey!" Carl walked over. At this time, there was a band on it, singing now popular songs, and most of the people on the dance floor were scattered, leaving only a few dog-abusing men and women hugging each other. Swaying life.
"Hey, you were handsome just now." Xu Rui touched his fist.
"I have vision." Karl gave him a thumbs up, "Tomorrow Christmas..."
"I want to eat barbecue." Lu Ci caught Carl's words. "Bessie has already suggested that. Let's talk to the people in the apartment tomorrow morning. In the evening, we will eat barbecue outside for Christmas."
Carlton was overjoyed when he stepped forward and gave Bessie a big hug, "Oh, my goodness, Bessie, I really love you so much."
"Mi Rabbit!" Bessie smiled brilliantly. Through the contours of her face, one can imagine Bessie when she was young, who must be very beautiful and temperamental.
In fact, Bessie seemed to have a melancholic aura on the surface, but in fact she had a funny comparison in her heart.
Then the five lads saw Bessie holding Carl's face and kissed it heavily, and a **** lip print hung directly on his face.
The three Song Bai laughed wildly in their hearts. They were so **** enthusiastic, but unfortunately they couldn't bear it.
Xu Rui was holding the wine glass and looking around in the nightclub, but at this moment he saw a girl.
This girl is beautiful, there is no doubt about it, especially the long golden hair that is as brilliant as seaweed, and the special eye-catching. At this time, the other party gave Xu Rui a sideways, but that kind of hazy feeling. But it made him startled.
After the heartbeat, Xu Ning put down the wine glass, got up and walked diagonally across the dance floor, looking in the direction that Bessie was pointing.
Joey Wells, an architecture student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the daughter of the Duke of Wales, has three older brothers on top of Joey, and Joey was born at the age of 40. The daughter of the next generation, the family really loves this daughter, but Joey is a very independent woman, she has her own pursuits and ideals, when the whole family wants her to go to Cambridge University, Joey is determined. I chose MIT.
When she came here, she refused the financial support of her family and came here with a simple salute. When she was free, she would work part-time to earn living expenses.
Today, Joey was asked by his classmates to come here as a substitute, but he did not expect to meet a few alcoholics, and Joey was entangled.
The other party was holding Joey's wrist, full of alcohol, maybe in this kind of place, they would not do anything extraordinary, but Joey still felt sick, and even a tingling sensation on his arm.
Looking at the wine glass handed over by his drunken tongue, Joey's delicate face was stained with anger, and his azure blue eyes were like deep seas, making this anger not seem to have any deterrent effect.
Joey couldn't open his eyes, staring at the wine bottle on the table, wondering if he would pick it up and hit him on the head.
At this moment, I saw a white and slender palm holding the man's wrist, and then saw the man wailing and letting go of her, kneeling on the ground tremblingly, curled up.
Lu Ci: "...Xu Rui actually saved the United States as a hero!"
Bessie saw Xu Rui pulling the blonde girl behind him, flaring her hands on her lips, "Xu Rui, you are really amazing."
"Sir, please respect the women around you. This lady is obviously unwilling." Xu Rui let go of the other's wrist and looked back at the girl who was wearing a burgundy waiter's uniform. She asked softly when she looked closer at the more delicate girl. :"Are you OK?"
"Thank you, thank you very much, I just...oh, god, be careful!" Before Joey could express his gratitude, he saw the man behind him picking up a wine bottle and pointing it at Xu Rui's head. When she hit it, she covered her mouth, almost not frightened.
Xu Rui turned slightly to the side, the opponent's movement failed, and his whole body rushed forward two steps inertially. He raised his slender legs, his knees directly pressed against the man's abdomen, and then his arms were bent, and his elbows dropped very well. When he reached the man's back, there was a muffled groan, and the man was smashed to the ground, and the wine bottle went out grunting.
His movements were swift and sharp, without the slightest sloppyness. This series of movements was completed almost instantaneously, making everyone around him unable to react.
Several companions of this man looked at Xu Rui's back dumbfoundedly, and then suddenly four words popped up in their minds: Chinese Kungfu!
"Oh, my goodness, my goodness, it's Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu!"
The people nearby who saw this scene were all excited, looking at Xu Rui's eyes as if they were looking at a hero.
When Bessie saw this, she stepped on her high heels and rushed forward excitedly, and put a bright red lip print around Xu Rui's neck.
"Baby, you are really great, are you kung fu? Is it kung fu?"
Xu Rui: "..."
Lu Ci came forward with his trouser pockets in his pockets, "This is martial art, how can you tell that this is Chinese Kungfu?"
He came over to see what the beauty that could make Xu Rui look like was like, but after a glance, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled.
No wonder, this girl is indeed very beautiful, even exquisite and excessive, it seems that it is easy for people to arouse a sense of protection.
Didn't expect Xu Rui to like this type of girl?
I said before that Chinese girls are better, but now it doesn't seem to be the case at all.
"Learned from your brother-in-law?" Lu Ci leaned over and asked.
Xu Rui nodded and gave a hmm.
The troublemakers seemed to know Bessie. Seeing that the relationship between the other party and Xu Rui was very good, they had no choice but to give up. They stepped forward and supported the beaten companion, and left dingyly. .
Joey looked at Xu Rui before and was really a little blinded, but at this moment, he looked down upon this handsome, black-haired and black-eyed man in casual clothes. He didn't seem to be blind at all. He even thought that he was so handsome that he could shine. .
"Hello, my name is Joey Hols, thank you very much!" Joey reached out to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui squeezed it up, his palm was soft with a slight warmth, very soft and very small, "You have already said it."
"But, can I invite you to Christmas tomorrow?" Xu Rui continued.
Several people around him opened their eyes wide, and then gave Xu Rui a thumbs up together.
This buddy usually looks very cold and alienated, but he didn't expect a volcano to live in his heart, awesome.
"Okay?" Joey actually had other thoughts in her heart. She wanted to go to a teacher and learn kung fu with Xu Rui.
"Of course, at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, or where I can pick you up."
"No, I can take a taxi." Joey said excitedly, holding his small chest.
"Okay." Xu Rui left Joey's apartment address, and then because the other party still had to work, he and Lu Ci and the others went back to continue drinking and chatting.
The crowd gathered around Xu Rui and looked at him inquisitively.
"Xu Rui, do you like that blond girl?" Carl is older than Xu Rui, but he is also a young man and a young man who can make noise. Fortunately, this guy doesn't play DJ in an apartment building, otherwise he might be caught in the crowd. Assault.
"Well, don't you think she is very beautiful?" Xu Rui admitted simply.
"It's pretty." In fact, Karl was a little moved, but this blonde girl came here for the first time tonight. If it weren't for Xu Rui to start quickly, he might have to wait for the nightclub to end and strike up a conversation. Now he just rested. This mind.
Lu Ci turned the wine glass in his hand, "When I was traveling in France, who told me that the girls in our country are good, but now you left me and found a blond, you scumbag."
Xu Rui snapped his fingers when he heard the words, "My hands are a little itchy!"
Lu Ci: Weeping, a scumbag still wants to do something to him. Baby Lu is very uneasy.
On Christmas afternoon, everyone in the apartment gathered on the green space in front of the apartment, and the men and women began to get busy.
The preparations started at noon, but there were only about 20 people present today, and the rest took advantage of Christmas to go out for travel or were invited by friends to leave.
In China, the Spring Festival is a day for family reunion, but at Christmas in the United States, it is almost always a party with friends. After all, people on their side are already independent individuals after the age of 18. It's normal not to give you money, and parents have to get together and lively with their friends on such days, and their lives are diversified.
Xu Rui moved the various pickled materials to the table, and everyone gathered around the fire, wearing gloves and starting to put on the meat skewers.
This was bought by all of them. The dinners here are generally made of aa, except for pork belly, beef, chicken wings, and fish. Of course, there are no less vegetables.
Before, they didn't know how delicious the vegetables were just roasted like this, but after eating Xu Rui's food, the feeling that the stomach is cared for can make people happy to fly.
As for the ingredients for the barbecue, Xu Rui had to go to many stores before buying them all at first.
Joey brought the meeting ceremony, put on a set of simple and generous clothes, and greeted the housekeeper in preparation to go out.
"Miss Joey, where are you going?" the housekeeper asked.
Joey knew that the butler would tell her father and mother about her whereabouts, and she did not resist her heart. This in itself was a kind of care.
Parents will not restrict her freedom, but hope to know her whereabouts.
"Today I will go to the Christmas party at apartment 2 on Seine Road. I will be back later. Goodbye Mrs. Michelle."
"You go slowly."
I just walked to the apartment after getting off the car, I saw these people in the courtyard, talking and laughing together. There was a huge fire in the courtyard. Even if it’s Christmas Day, that’s not going to happen. Feeling cold, seeing this scene, will make people's lips can not help but dye a pleasant smile.
"Xu Rui, people are here." Song Bai was facing the door of the apartment and saw Joey standing at the door. He called Xu Rui.
Looking up, I saw a pretty blonde girl in a white cashmere sweater standing in the doorway.
Throwing down the bamboo stick, took off the gloves, got up and walked over, took the meeting gift from Joey, and then found that the girl was looking at herself with a pair of sparkling blue eyes. Xu Rui was not a narcissistic person. That is she has another purpose.
"Come and sit down, you can eat barbecue soon."
"thanks!"
Joey was arranged next to Xu Rui by everyone. The others in the apartment looked at the girl who was walking so close to Xu Rui curiously, winking at Bessie who was smiling at his aunt.
Bessie walked over and murmured to them for a while, and everyone understood that this was the girl Xu Rui liked.
The barbecue was prepared in all hands and feet. Xu Rui put on his apron and stood in front of the grill to start the barbecue. Everyone's eyes were also coveting after Xu Rui's figure.
Upon seeing this, Joey looked at everyone inexplicably, and immediately figured out the reason. It seems that they, like himself, want to worship Xu Rui as a teacher and learn kung fu from her.
Naturally, she couldn't fall behind, so she got up and came to Xu Rui's side thinking about it.
"What can i do for you?"
When everyone saw this, the aunt and uncle smiled collectively on their faces, and the feelings of these two young people are your love for me?
Xu Rui turned to look at the little girl's blown red nose, how cute she looked, so she let her be close to the grill and warm up a little bit.
"I can do it myself, or you can bring them the barbecue for me when the time comes."
"Yes." Joey was very happy to hear Xu Rui's words. It seems that Xu Rui can agree to his request.
However, as the barbecue was gradually cooked, the sauce, chili powder and cumin were sprinkled on top, and the fragrance was blown slightly by the wind. Disharmonious sounds were remembered in the courtyard for a long time, all of which were the movements of the stomach rumbling. .
Even Joey, who is the closest to the barbecue, swallowed several times.
This taste is really mouth-watering and evocative.
The last time they had eaten it more than 20 days ago, it was maddening to think.
"Xu Rui, are you okay?" Carl and a few young men and women came up and saw the golden roasted meat being grilled. The gravy fell into the smokeless carbon, making a sizzling sound. This may be the most beautiful in the world. Music out.
Put more than twenty sticks of roasted meat on the plate and hand it to Karl, "Take it away, the following will be ready soon."
"Xu Rui, we love you so much."
Joey saw a roasted meat that Xu Rui handed over. The golden texture and attractive fragrance were constantly bewitching her taste buds.
"Eat it." Xu Rui smiled.
Joey took it, opened his mouth and took a bite, then sucked and exhaled. It was hot, but delicious.
The teeth were bitten down, the rich gravy and the surface sauce splashed in the mouth, various flavors impacted the taste buds, and the body seemed to sink into it.
She knew that she had misunderstood just now, the look in Xu Rui's eyes was to apprentice the teacher, she was obviously coveting these barbecued meats.
"This Christmas is really so happy." Carl's tears came out, and he looked down at the empty plate and cried completely.
The barbecue on Xu Rui’s side came out one after another. Everyone was sitting around the fire, eating happily, and paired with red wine. No one cared whether they were gentle and modest. Method.
Joey was standing next to Xu Rui, and he was the first to eat everything after baking.
She likes grilled pork belly and grilled mushrooms, and the taste of roast beef is also very delicious, or she likes everything today.
"I'm a Harvard student, majoring in finance and management." Xu Rui picked two bunches of mushrooms down and placed them on Joey's plate.
"I'm at MIT, majoring in architecture." Joey didn't expect Xu Rui to be a Harvard student, and now he has a better impression of him.
It is easy for her to study here as a British person, but Huaxia heard that it is difficult. Since he can come, it shows that he is excellent.
"You can come here often in the future. Do you like Chinese food? I usually cook by myself."
Joey shook his head, "I haven't eaten Chinese food, but can you call me Kung Fu?"
Xu Rui smiled and said, "I didn't use Chinese Kungfu in the nightclub last night, but fighting skills. If you want to learn, I can certainly teach you. Actually, there are gyms in Cambridge that teach you fighting."
She didn't know where to learn fighting skills, but at least Xu Rui could, and she also knew Xu Rui, so she had an advantage.
Joey is not stupid, she knows how to distinguish between good and bad.
Just seeing that the twenty or thirty people here are very friendly to Xu Rui, which shows that he is a very good person. The most important thing is the look in the other party's eyes, which is gentle and convincing.
The people over there are very "sensible" tonight and didn’t bother the young couple. If you have nothing to eat, you can go there to get them. Anyway, there are a lot of materials prepared tonight. The activity room was crazy for a night.
When the last chicken wings were baked, the two of them returned to the group, and everyone raised their glasses to thank Xu Rui.
"Xu Rui, how many years can you stay in the United States?" asked a sleek uncle who was a lecturer at a nearby university, although he was not from Harvard and MIT.
"It will take at least two years," Xu Rui replied.
Bessie held up her wine glass and said in sorrow: "When Xu Rui returns to China, what should we do when we still want to eat barbecue?"
"I can teach you."
As a result, everyone shook their heads.
"We tried it, it's useless!"
Looking at their firm tone of voice, people who didn't know thought it was so great, but now they are using this attitude to express it, which makes Xu Rui dumbfounded.
"Then you go to China at that time, there was also a place in the past," Xu Rui said helplessly.
"Is there a family business to inherit?" As a rich woman, Bessie has always had no pressure to joke. Fortunately, every word she said seemed to be a joke.
"Don't say it, it's true." Xu Rui nodded.
Hearing this, everyone said that after Xu Rui returned home, they would definitely go to visit Xu Rui and then travel.
After being here for a year and a half, Xu Rui met a lot of people. First of all, the people in the apartment are from all walks of life. There are ordinary office workers, educators, and an old couple in academia. There are also reporters from Global Geographic magazine. They live here because the environment here is comfortable and luxury is not excessively pursued.
After eating and drinking, everyone gathered in the activity room, and Xu Rui even sang a song that surprised everyone collectively.
Song Bai's brains in particular burst. They found that Xu Rui was really versatile, and there was nothing he couldn't do. Not to mention his academic excellence, and in other respects, they just smashed their 18 Chang'an Avenues, and they couldn't beat the horse.
When the excitement was over, Xu Rui drove Joey home. He waited for Joey to return home and called him before Xu Rui drove away.
It was almost dawn at this time.
Mrs. Michelle was relieved when she heard the door opening, came out of the room in her pajamas, and saw that Joey was obviously very energetic.
"Miss Joey is back. Did you have a good time last night?"
"Good morning, Mrs. Michely." Joey smiled and hugged each other. "I had a great time last night. I had a kind of barbecue. It tasted very good. I also met a few Chinese people. They are all from Harvard University. My student, Mr. Xu Rui who sent me back, is a very good man."
After Joey greeted him, he went to change his clothes and take a shower to rest.
But Mrs. Michelle was a little dumbfounded.
What did she hear? Miss Joey actually praised a Chinese gentleman, did she like him?
Glancing at Joey's door, Michelle picked up the phone and called the Duke of Halls.
As a duke, the Halls family has no rights. This duke is just a kind of reputation granted by the queen. Of course, the Halls family is rich and it also occupies a certain position among many dukes. The family’s business is very profitable. There are also several large ranches and farms. These will be divided equally among several children. Of course, their baby daughter will inherit a large amount of property.
Therefore, they are more important to the choice of son-in-law than to daughter-in-law.
Now that I heard that my daughter seemed to be in love, the Duke of Halls and his wife almost didn't explode.
For the first time, he wanted to investigate the other party.
The future husband of his daughter must be a good man, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to trust the other party with his 19-year-old daughter.
Xu Rui still didn’t know that he was being watched by Joey’s family. Thinking of Joey’s heart warming, he didn’t have a clue as to how the relationship with the other party was going. many.
Of course, he also hopes that the other party can learn more about him.
The three older brothers of the Hols family heard his father's words during breakfast and learned that their sister actually fell in love with a Chinese, and they were a little bit reluctant.
It's not because of the other party's nationality that there is something wrong, but because the other party was born in China, which is too far away from Britain.
With the baby in their hands, they naturally hope that they can stay in the UK in the future, so that it will be easy to meet each other.
But if they marry to China, how long will it take them to see Joey?
Think about it, the whole family was upset and reluctant.
"I think the two are definitely not suitable!" said Ned, the eldest brother of the Halls family, clenching his fist.
He is fifteen years older than his younger sister. It can be said that his younger sister grew up looking at him. From the tender little ball to the present slim, he sees every step in his eyes and is happy in his heart, although he also fantasizes I took my sister's hand and handed it to other men, but I didn't expect to be sent to the faraway China at this moment.
"Mrs. Michely said that Joey feels good about each other, and the two are not boyfriend and girlfriend now, so don't get excited, eldest brother." The second child Anthony said with relief.
"I'm going to the United States next month, stop by and take a look, you all be quiet sooner and breakfast." The youngest Justin made a final decision.
Anthony nodded repeatedly after hearing the words, "Yes, Justin, you must observe the other party carefully."
"Do not worry."
After Joey got in touch with Xu Rui more, she also began to learn to fight with Xu Rui, but Joey's body was very soft. When she was young, she heard that she learned to dance. Later she also danced, but she spent more time studying. superior.
It's just that this can't be done quickly, so Xu Rui first taught Joey some lethal "anti-wolves".
Joey's high savvy, coupled with his own enthusiasm for this matter, made Xu Rui also an eye-opener.
With daily contact, Xu Rui found that although the girl's life was very delicate, she did not have the slightest squeamishness. On the contrary, she had a hearty personality, and she was also very self-reliant. Of course, she can cook, although it is Western food.
And Joey's face blindness in Huaxia has been greatly improved as he has been in contact with Xu Rui for longer and longer.
She found that she was unconsciously attracted to this man. He is very knowledgeable, can cook, is proficient in music, fighting skills, basketball and other competitive sports. He is also very popular in school and has a gentle personality. He was polite, and it seemed very easy and pleasant to get along with him, and even as long as he was with him, Joey felt particularly safe.
The guidance was over, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon outside.
Xu Rui drove Joey home and called her who was getting off the car at the door of her house.
"Joy, do you have time at noon tomorrow?"
"Of course, what's the matter?" Joey suddenly felt the fawn bump in his chest. Could this be a date invitation?
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Tomorrow is our Chinese New Year. I would like to invite you to my house for dinner. Of course, there are some Lu Ci. You can also bring Mrs. Michely or friends."
While Joey felt a little lost in his heart, he even felt that this man had a noble character.
He didn’t know his identity, and he was definitely not looking at the Halls family to approach her, but Xu Rui was very kind to her. Although she invited her to be a guest at home before, she didn’t go there for more than a month. The place where martial arts is taught is in a sports hall at Harvard University. She seems to be considering her mood and never go to a private place with her.
Joey can feel this.
"I'm honored." She nodded with a smile and agreed.
Staring at Joey's brilliant smile, the azure blue eyes became brighter because of this smile.
"Can you be my girlfriend?" Xu Rui asked awkwardly.
Then I saw the little white face of the co-pilot girl, slowly flushing, her eyes flickering, as if she didn't dare to look at her.
"Am I too abrupt?" Xu Rui's heart tightened.
"No!" Joey shook his head, "I'm very happy, I am willing to be your girlfriend."
Xu Rui seemed to be sprouting, holding Joey's hand, "I'll be nice to you!"
"I believe you, you are a very good man."
"……"friendzoned?
No, Joey has promised to be his girlfriend just now, and he is indeed a very good man, no problem.
"It's late, go back, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow morning."
"OK."
When he returned home, Joey stood at the entrance of the hallway, watching Xu Rui's car leave, and then closed the door reluctantly.
He changed his shoes and came in, opening his mouth to call Mrs. Michely, but seeing Justin sitting in the living room, he thought it was an illusion for a while.
"Justin?" She hurried forward, really Justin herself.
"Mrs. Michely said you have no class today, where did you go?" Justin took her sister to sit down, "Who sent you back just now?"
"I followed Xu Rui to learn martial arts, and he sent me back." Joey poured himself a glass of water, "I just promised Xu Rui to be his girlfriend."
Justin: "..."
Sister, don't you really worry about my brother exploding in place?
"Do you know him?" Justin suppressed his impatience, and communicated with his sister gently and with a smile.
Oops, I'm late.
Knowing that there will be such a result, he should have rushed out just now.
Joey gave Justin a desperate move, nodded and smiled: "I understand that Xu Rui is very good, very very, very good."
enough!
Justin lifted his forehead.
He doesn't want to listen, doesn't want to think, doesn't want to listen.
The four are very, which is enough to show that my sister's heart is very firm, and he has come in vain this time.
Joey didn’t seem to notice his brother’s despair, “Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Xu Rui invited me to his house as a guest. He also asked me to bring Mrs. Michely and friends with me. Since you are here, Justin, come with me tomorrow, Xu Rui said to make Chinese delicacies and I am looking forward to it."
Justin smiled stiffly and nodded weakly, "I'm looking forward to it too."
"That's great." Joey stood up. "I'm going to take a shower. You can do whatever you want."
Watching his sister's back disappear into the room, Justin was lying on the sofa with nothing to love.
Very good? What an ancestor!
I can see that man tomorrow, right? Just so, he will go and see with his own eyes, what is so good about that man, who dares to pursue his sister.
Early in the morning of the Spring Festival, Xu Rui and Lu Ci drove to the supermarket to make a big purchase. The vegetables in the morning were the freshest, so naturally you can't miss it.
"So you and Joey have confirmed the relationship?" Lu Ci asked.
"Um!"
"There are so many good girls in China. You just like a British girl. You say you are not a waste."
Xu Rui sneered, "Isn't there you still? Just work harder."
Love this thing, where's the color of the skin, and the nationality, he fell in love with Joey, which he hadn't expected before.
But Joey doesn't speak Chinese, so it's okay to communicate with his parents. Grandparents can't communicate anymore.
After meeting today, ask Joey if he is interested in learning Chinese. He can also be a teacher.
After shopping in the supermarket, the two left the supermarket with three shopping bags and drove home.
"I haven't eaten cold noodles this year!" Lu Ci lay on the roundabout, looking at Xu Rui with pity. He felt abused this year.
"I have a lot of hot pot." Xu Rui turned around and smiled, "I'll start making it for you in two months."
"I can remember."
When the two of you are here, you and I say a word, and the knock on the door rang.
Stepping forward to open the door, it was actually Joey.
"Hey, Joey, welcome!" Lu Ci saw a handsome brown-haired man with Joey and a middle-aged woman, letting them in.
"Hello Lu Ci, Happy New Year, this is a gift I brought. This is my brother Justin, and this is my housekeeper, Mrs. Michelle."
Lu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the older brother. He was really afraid that this girl would give Xu Rui a prairie.
－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－
Dear fairies, happy Valentine's Day!
Christmas is coming, and the winter vacation at Harvard has started for quite a while. Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year in the West. In the spirit of going to the countryside, Xu Ning and Lu Ci decided to let Song Bai and the others come together to get together and get together. It's another lively way.Several men finished dinner at Xu Ning's house, and then greeted them to go to a nearby nightclub.Compared to a relatively quiet place like a bar, a nightclub is the first choice for young people. While drinking fine wine, you can also twist your body and relax with the unusually dressed dj, and maybe you can meet it here. To the girl you like, take her for a spring night.Most of the nightclubs they come to are students from several universities here in Cambridge, and the cultural environment and safety issues here are guaranteed.Pushing open the door of the store and entering, a burst of heavy metal music rushed over. A door separated two worlds, one peaceful and the other noisy, distinct.Because it is Christmas Eve, today this nightclub is also overcrowded. Relatively Westerners occupy the vast majority in the store, while Asians are very few."Hey, Xu Rui, Lu Ci, this way." Before they could find a slightly looser position, they heard a familiar voice in the nightclub.Although the name was awkwardly called, it was still understandable.The five Xu Rui followed the voice and saw that the DJ tonight was actually an acquaintance, and they lived in an apartment building with them, but Xu Rui and Lu Ci lived on the seventh floor, and this white DJ named Carl Living on the floor above them, sometimes the landlord of the apartment building will hold parties, and usually people in the whole apartment will gather together, eating barbecue, talking, laughing and laughing.Really speaking, Xu Rui is regarded as a popular man in this apartment, because the barbecue he makes makes everyone praised. For this reason, almost the landlord has to queue up every month, and almost no one is absent. Of course That was when Xu Rui decided to participate.Xu Rui raised his hand and gestured to Karl, and then found an empty seat to sit down. This nightclub is very large, perhaps because of the financial resources of the boss behind it. This is also the first time Xu Rui has come here. Usually he and Lu Ci When you go out, you always go to a bar with an elegant and relatively quiet environment.Facing the afternoon sun, tasting the wine in front of you, looking at the magazine in your hand, or setting up your camera to take pictures of passing pedestrians, sometimes just going to the bar to listen to the country band singing a few songs, listening to a few piano music .Several people ordered wine and leaned on the bar, watching the men and women writhing their bodies on the dance floor.The topic of gender here is relatively open. At least now when you are in a relationship in China, you may feel shy when you hold a hand on the road, let alone kissing in public on the streets.But now they don't have this kind of restrained shackles in front of them, men and women hug each other, you pinch my ass, I bite your collarbone, it is very sloppy.A few of them are used to it. After all, you can see close lovers cuddling and kissing me at school. Even if they can't do it, they can at least control their expressions.When they first came to the United States, Song Bai and the others saw this situation and wanted to run away. It was almost half a year before they got used to it.Lu Ci poked Xu Rui's arm and pointed at a person inside, "Mother Bessie is here too."Xu Ningshun Luci looked over, and under the flickering light, it was easy to see the familiar face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but be stained with a smile.Bessie is an outdated pole dancer girl, now in her forties and almost 50 years old, she can clearly see wrinkles, but she still likes to paint heavy makeup, she still likes to go in and out of such noisy and lively places, and she There were two marriages many years ago, and the husbands were still quite wealthy. Unfortunately, they both fell ill and passed away. Bessie inherited the inheritance of the two husbands and became a well-known rich woman. Of course, she was still not understood by some. The insider was crowned with a title, called Black Widow.She has three villas in Cambridge, all of which have been rented out by her. Now she lives in an apartment with Xu Rui and the others. Perhaps she has experienced the shock of two marriages. Bessie hasn't married since then, but she's around But there has never been a lack of a male partner. Now the one who is going to be an elite man in his thirties, and Bessie are probably in true love, but both of them said they would not get married.Probably found them, Bessie looked over, blew a kiss at them, gave two eyebrows, and the two also smiled and gave Bessie a gesture.Maybe because she was tired, Bessie squeezed out from the crowd, and the men and women around greeted Bessie. It was obvious that she was already a frequent visitor here."You guys came here to find a beautiful encounter?" Sit down in a chair next to him, and ordered a glass of concoction from the bartender. "Tomorrow is Christmas. If you want to have dinner in the evening, I will call Daniel.""Of course." Lu Ci quickly agreed, "If you don't eat barbecue at Christmas, how can it be called Christmas, right?""Yes, it really is a little cute." The bright red Dankou nails patted Lu Ci's shoulder twice.Maybe Bessie would seem to behave indiscriminately with other men, but to these two young people, he is quite an elder demeanor. Maybe Bessie is the kind of rabbit who doesn't eat the grass at the nest."But if you are looking for Aventure, there is really a very beautiful lady tonight!" With slightly loose fingers, she pointed to a spot in the nightclub.Several people looked over, only to find that it was a little dim over there, and they couldn't see anything clearly. With the addition of half a dance floor, the flashing lights made it even more vague."I'm not a casual person." Lu Ci curled up his lips and smiled romantically. "Bessie, my body is very precious. How can I get it to any woman?"Bessi laughed and trembled. This was not deliberate, but innate. Perhaps it was a hue for self-protection in order to survive when he was young, but it is a pity that this color cannot be wiped off now.Because Bessie always has the illusion of deliberate harassment with people, her relationship with women can be said to be very poor, but it is good to get along with the women in the apartment, otherwise Bessie now has a million-dollar rich woman in her hands. I won't be wronged in this kind of place.Before, Lu Ci asked Bessie why he didn't live in a big city like New York, but stayed in Cambridge, which has a relatively slow pace.Bessie's answer is simple. Cambridge is a college town in Boston, Massachusetts. She was born in poverty and did not have the opportunity to study, so she chose this place to settle down in the end."Hey!" Carl walked over. At this time, there was a band on it, singing now popular songs, and most of the people on the dance floor were scattered, leaving only a few dog-abusing men and women hugging each other. Swaying life."Hey, you were handsome just now." Xu Rui touched his fist."I have vision." Karl gave him a thumbs up, "Tomorrow Christmas...""I want to eat barbecue." Lu Ci caught Carl's words. "Bessie has already suggested that. Let's talk to the people in the apartment tomorrow morning. In the evening, we will eat barbecue outside for Christmas."Carlton was overjoyed when he stepped forward and gave Bessie a big hug, "Oh, my goodness, Bessie, I really love you so much.""Mi Rabbit!" Bessie smiled brilliantly. Through the contours of her face, one can imagine Bessie when she was young, who must be very beautiful and temperamental.In fact, Bessie seemed to have a melancholic aura on the surface, but in fact she had a funny comparison in her heart.Then the five lads saw Bessie holding Carl's face and kissed it heavily, and a **** lip print hung directly on his face.The three Song Bai laughed wildly in their hearts. They were so **** enthusiastic, but unfortunately they couldn't bear it.Xu Rui was holding the wine glass and looking around in the nightclub, but at this moment he saw a girl.This girl is beautiful, there is no doubt about it, especially the long golden hair that is as brilliant as seaweed, and the special eye-catching. At this time, the other party gave Xu Rui a sideways, but that kind of hazy feeling. But it made him startled.After the heartbeat, Xu Ning put down the wine glass, got up and walked diagonally across the dance floor, looking in the direction that Bessie was pointing.Joey Wells, an architecture student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the daughter of the Duke of Wales, has three older brothers on top of Joey, and Joey was born at the age of 40. The daughter of the next generation, the family really loves this daughter, but Joey is a very independent woman, she has her own pursuits and ideals, when the whole family wants her to go to Cambridge University, Joey is determined. I chose MIT.When she came here, she refused the financial support of her family and came here with a simple salute. When she was free, she would work part-time to earn living expenses.Today, Joey was asked by his classmates to come here as a substitute, but he did not expect to meet a few alcoholics, and Joey was entangled.The other party was holding Joey's wrist, full of alcohol, maybe in this kind of place, they would not do anything extraordinary, but Joey still felt sick, and even a tingling sensation on his arm.Looking at the wine glass handed over by his drunken tongue, Joey's delicate face was stained with anger, and his azure blue eyes were like deep seas, making this anger not seem to have any deterrent effect.Joey couldn't open his eyes, staring at the wine bottle on the table, wondering if he would pick it up and hit him on the head.At this moment, I saw a white and slender palm holding the man's wrist, and then saw the man wailing and letting go of her, kneeling on the ground tremblingly, curled up.Lu Ci: "...Xu Rui actually saved the United States as a hero!"Bessie saw Xu Rui pulling the blonde girl behind him, flaring her hands on her lips, "Xu Rui, you are really amazing.""Sir, please respect the women around you. This lady is obviously unwilling." Xu Rui let go of the other's wrist and looked back at the girl who was wearing a burgundy waiter's uniform. She asked softly when she looked closer at the more delicate girl. :"Are you OK?""Thank you, thank you very much, I just...oh, god, be careful!" Before Joey could express his gratitude, he saw the man behind him picking up a wine bottle and pointing it at Xu Rui's head. When she hit it, she covered her mouth, almost not frightened.Xu Rui turned slightly to the side, the opponent's movement failed, and his whole body rushed forward two steps inertially. He raised his slender legs, his knees directly pressed against the man's abdomen, and then his arms were bent, and his elbows dropped very well. When he reached the man's back, there was a muffled groan, and the man was smashed to the ground, and the wine bottle went out grunting.His movements were swift and sharp, without the slightest sloppyness. This series of movements was completed almost instantaneously, making everyone around him unable to react.Several companions of this man looked at Xu Rui's back dumbfoundedly, and then suddenly four words popped up in their minds: Chinese Kungfu!"Oh, my goodness, my goodness, it's Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu!"The people nearby who saw this scene were all excited, looking at Xu Rui's eyes as if they were looking at a hero.When Bessie saw this, she stepped on her high heels and rushed forward excitedly, and put a bright red lip print around Xu Rui's neck."Baby, you are really great, are you kung fu? Is it kung fu?"Xu Rui: "..."Lu Ci came forward with his trouser pockets in his pockets, "This is martial art, how can you tell that this is Chinese Kungfu?"He came over to see what the beauty that could make Xu Rui look like was like, but after a glance, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled.No wonder, this girl is indeed very beautiful, even exquisite and excessive, it seems that it is easy for people to arouse a sense of protection.Didn't expect Xu Rui to like this type of girl?I said before that Chinese girls are better, but now it doesn't seem to be the case at all."Learned from your brother-in-law?" Lu Ci leaned over and asked.Xu Rui nodded and gave a hmm.The troublemakers seemed to know Bessie. Seeing that the relationship between the other party and Xu Rui was very good, they had no choice but to give up. They stepped forward and supported the beaten companion, and left dingyly. .Joey looked at Xu Rui before and was really a little blinded, but at this moment, he looked down upon this handsome, black-haired and black-eyed man in casual clothes. He didn't seem to be blind at all. He even thought that he was so handsome that he could shine. ."Hello, my name is Joey Hols, thank you very much!" Joey reached out to Xu Rui.Xu Rui squeezed it up, his palm was soft with a slight warmth, very soft and very small, "You have already said it.""But, can I invite you to Christmas tomorrow?" Xu Rui continued.Several people around him opened their eyes wide, and then gave Xu Rui a thumbs up together.This buddy usually looks very cold and alienated, but he didn't expect a volcano to live in his heart, awesome."Okay?" Joey actually had other thoughts in her heart. She wanted to go to a teacher and learn kung fu with Xu Rui."Of course, at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, or where I can pick you up.""No, I can take a taxi." Joey said excitedly, holding his small chest."Okay." Xu Rui left Joey's apartment address, and then because the other party still had to work, he and Lu Ci and the others went back to continue drinking and chatting.The crowd gathered around Xu Rui and looked at him inquisitively."Xu Rui, do you like that blond girl?" Carl is older than Xu Rui, but he is also a young man and a young man who can make noise. Fortunately, this guy doesn't play DJ in an apartment building, otherwise he might be caught in the crowd. Assault."Well, don't you think she is very beautiful?" Xu Rui admitted simply."It's pretty." In fact, Karl was a little moved, but this blonde girl came here for the first time tonight. If it weren't for Xu Rui to start quickly, he might have to wait for the nightclub to end and strike up a conversation. Now he just rested. This mind.Lu Ci turned the wine glass in his hand, "When I was traveling in France, who told me that the girls in our country are good, but now you left me and found a blond, you scumbag."Xu Rui snapped his fingers when he heard the words, "My hands are a little itchy!"Lu Ci: Weeping, a scumbag still wants to do something to him. Baby Lu is very uneasy.On Christmas afternoon, everyone in the apartment gathered on the green space in front of the apartment, and the men and women began to get busy.The preparations started at noon, but there were only about 20 people present today, and the rest took advantage of Christmas to go out for travel or were invited by friends to leave.In China, the Spring Festival is a day for family reunion, but at Christmas in the United States, it is almost always a party with friends. After all, people on their side are already independent individuals after the age of 18. It's normal not to give you money, and parents have to get together and lively with their friends on such days, and their lives are diversified.Xu Rui moved the various pickled materials to the table, and everyone gathered around the fire, wearing gloves and starting to put on the meat skewers.This was bought by all of them. The dinners here are generally made of aa, except for pork belly, beef, chicken wings, and fish. Of course, there are no less vegetables.Before, they didn't know how delicious the vegetables were just roasted like this, but after eating Xu Rui's food, the feeling that the stomach is cared for can make people happy to fly.As for the ingredients for the barbecue, Xu Rui had to go to many stores before buying them all at first.Joey brought the meeting ceremony, put on a set of simple and generous clothes, and greeted the housekeeper in preparation to go out."Miss Joey, where are you going?" the housekeeper asked.Joey knew that the butler would tell her father and mother about her whereabouts, and she did not resist her heart. This in itself was a kind of care.Parents will not restrict her freedom, but hope to know her whereabouts."Today I will go to the Christmas party at apartment 2 on Seine Road. I will be back later. Goodbye Mrs. Michelle.""You go slowly."I just walked to the apartment after getting off the car, I saw these people in the courtyard, talking and laughing together. There was a huge fire in the courtyard. Even if it's Christmas Day, that's not going to happen. Feeling cold, seeing this scene, will make people's lips can not help but dye a pleasant smile."Xu Rui, people are here." Song Bai was facing the door of the apartment and saw Joey standing at the door. He called Xu Rui.Looking up, I saw a pretty blonde girl in a white cashmere sweater standing in the doorway.Throwing down the bamboo stick, took off the gloves, got up and walked over, took the meeting gift from Joey, and then found that the girl was looking at herself with a pair of sparkling blue eyes. Xu Rui was not a narcissistic person. That is she has another purpose."Come and sit down, you can eat barbecue soon.""thanks!"Joey was arranged next to Xu Rui by everyone. The others in the apartment looked at the girl who was walking so close to Xu Rui curiously, winking at Bessie who was smiling at his aunt.Bessie walked over and murmured to them for a while, and everyone understood that this was the girl Xu Rui liked.The barbecue was prepared in all hands and feet. Xu Rui put on his apron and stood in front of the grill to start the barbecue. Everyone's eyes were also coveting after Xu Rui's figure.Upon seeing this, Joey looked at everyone inexplicably, and immediately figured out the reason. It seems that they, like himself, want to worship Xu Rui as a teacher and learn kung fu from her.Naturally, she couldn't fall behind, so she got up and came to Xu Rui's side thinking about it."What can i do for you?"When everyone saw this, the aunt and uncle smiled collectively on their faces, and the feelings of these two young people are your love for me?Xu Rui turned to look at the little girl's blown red nose, how cute she looked, so she let her be close to the grill and warm up a little bit."I can do it myself, or you can bring them the barbecue for me when the time comes.""Yes." Joey was very happy to hear Xu Rui's words. It seems that Xu Rui can agree to his request.However, as the barbecue was gradually cooked, the sauce, chili powder and cumin were sprinkled on top, and the fragrance was blown slightly by the wind. Disharmonious sounds were remembered in the courtyard for a long time, all of which were the movements of the stomach rumbling. .Even Joey, who is the closest to the barbecue, swallowed several times.This taste is really mouth-watering and evocative.The last time they had eaten it more than 20 days ago, it was maddening to think."Xu Rui, are you okay?" Carl and a few young men and women came up and saw the golden roasted meat being grilled. The gravy fell into the smokeless carbon, making a sizzling sound. This may be the most beautiful in the world. Music out.Put more than twenty sticks of roasted meat on the plate and hand it to Karl, "Take it away, the following will be ready soon.""Xu Rui, we love you so much."Joey saw a roasted meat that Xu Rui handed over. The golden texture and attractive fragrance were constantly bewitching her taste buds."Eat it." Xu Rui smiled.Joey took it, opened his mouth and took a bite, then sucked and exhaled. It was hot, but delicious.The teeth were bitten down, the rich gravy and the surface sauce splashed in the mouth, various flavors impacted the taste buds, and the body seemed to sink into it.She knew that she had misunderstood just now, the look in Xu Rui's eyes was to apprentice the teacher, she was obviously coveting these barbecued meats."This Christmas is really so happy." Carl's tears came out, and he looked down at the empty plate and cried completely.The barbecue on Xu Rui's side came out one after another. Everyone was sitting around the fire, eating happily, and paired with red wine. No one cared whether they were gentle and modest. Method.Joey was standing next to Xu Rui, and he was the first to eat everything after baking.She likes grilled pork belly and grilled mushrooms, and the taste of roast beef is also very delicious, or she likes everything today."I'm a Harvard student, majoring in finance and management." Xu Rui picked two bunches of mushrooms down and placed them on Joey's plate."I'm at MIT, majoring in architecture." Joey didn't expect Xu Rui to be a Harvard student, and now he has a better impression of him.It is easy for her to study here as a British person, but Huaxia heard that it is difficult. Since he can come, it shows that he is excellent."You can come here often in the future. Do you like Chinese food? I usually cook by myself."Joey shook his head, "I haven't eaten Chinese food, but can you call me Kung Fu?"Xu Rui smiled and said, "I didn't use Chinese Kungfu in the nightclub last night, but fighting skills. If you want to learn, I can certainly teach you. Actually, there are gyms in Cambridge that teach you fighting."She didn't know where to learn fighting skills, but at least Xu Rui could, and she also knew Xu Rui, so she had an advantage.Joey is not stupid, she knows how to distinguish between good and bad.Just seeing that the twenty or thirty people here are very friendly to Xu Rui, which shows that he is a very good person. The most important thing is the look in the other party's eyes, which is gentle and convincing.The people over there are very "sensible" tonight and didn't bother the young couple. If you have nothing to eat, you can go there to get them. Anyway, there are a lot of materials prepared tonight. The activity room was crazy for a night.When the last chicken wings were baked, the two of them returned to the group, and everyone raised their glasses to thank Xu Rui."Xu Rui, how many years can you stay in the United States?" asked a sleek uncle who was a lecturer at a nearby university, although he was not from Harvard and MIT."It will take at least two years," Xu Rui replied.Bessie held up her wine glass and said in sorrow: "When Xu Rui returns to China, what should we do when we still want to eat barbecue?""I can teach you."As a result, everyone shook their heads."We tried it, it's useless!"Looking at their firm tone of voice, people who didn't know thought it was so great, but now they are using this attitude to express it, which makes Xu Rui dumbfounded."Then you go to China at that time, there was also a place in the past," Xu Rui said helplessly."Is there a family business to inherit?" As a rich woman, Bessie has always had no pressure to joke. Fortunately, every word she said seemed to be a joke."Don't say it, it's true." Xu Rui nodded.Hearing this, everyone said that after Xu Rui returned home, they would definitely go to visit Xu Rui and then travel.After being here for a year and a half, Xu Rui met a lot of people. First of all, the people in the apartment are from all walks of life. There are ordinary office workers, educators, and an old couple in academia. There are also reporters from Global Geographic magazine. They live here because the environment here is comfortable and luxury is not excessively pursued.After eating and drinking, everyone gathered in the activity room, and Xu Rui even sang a song that surprised everyone collectively.Song Bai's brains in particular burst. They found that Xu Rui was really versatile, and there was nothing he couldn't do. Not to mention his academic excellence, and in other respects, they just smashed their 18 Chang'an Avenues, and they couldn't beat the horse.When the excitement was over, Xu Rui drove Joey home. He waited for Joey to return home and called him before Xu Rui drove away.It was almost dawn at this time.Mrs. Michelle was relieved when she heard the door opening, came out of the room in her pajamas, and saw that Joey was obviously very energetic."Miss Joey is back. Did you have a good time last night?""Good morning, Mrs. Michely." Joey smiled and hugged each other. "I had a great time last night. I had a kind of barbecue. It tasted very good. I also met a few Chinese people. They are all from Harvard University. My student, Mr. Xu Rui who sent me back, is a very good man."After Joey greeted him, he went to change his clothes and take a shower to rest.But Mrs. Michelle was a little dumbfounded.What did she hear? Miss Joey actually praised a Chinese gentleman, did she like him?Glancing at Joey's door, Michelle picked up the phone and called the Duke of Halls.As a duke, the Halls family has no rights. This duke is just a kind of reputation granted by the queen. Of course, the Halls family is rich and it also occupies a certain position among many dukes. The family's business is very profitable. There are also several large ranches and farms. These will be divided equally among several children. Of course, their baby daughter will inherit a large amount of property.Therefore, they are more important to the choice of son-in-law than to daughter-in-law.Now that I heard that my daughter seemed to be in love, the Duke of Halls and his wife almost didn't explode.For the first time, he wanted to investigate the other party.The future husband of his daughter must be a good man, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to trust the other party with his 19-year-old daughter.Xu Rui still didn't know that he was being watched by Joey's family. Thinking of Joey's heart warming, he didn't have a clue as to how the relationship with the other party was going. many.Of course, he also hopes that the other party can learn more about him.The three older brothers of the Hols family heard his father's words during breakfast and learned that their sister actually fell in love with a Chinese, and they were a little bit reluctant.It's not because of the other party's nationality that there is something wrong, but because the other party was born in China, which is too far away from Britain.With the baby in their hands, they naturally hope that they can stay in the UK in the future, so that it will be easy to meet each other.But if they marry to China, how long will it take them to see Joey?Think about it, the whole family was upset and reluctant."I think the two are definitely not suitable!" said Ned, the eldest brother of the Halls family, clenching his fist.He is fifteen years older than his younger sister. It can be said that his younger sister grew up looking at him. From the tender little ball to the present slim, he sees every step in his eyes and is happy in his heart, although he also fantasizes I took my sister's hand and handed it to other men, but I didn't expect to be sent to the faraway China at this moment."Mrs. Michely said that Joey feels good about each other, and the two are not boyfriend and girlfriend now, so don't get excited, eldest brother." The second child Anthony said with relief."I'm going to the United States next month, stop by and take a look, you all be quiet sooner and breakfast." The youngest Justin made a final decision.Anthony nodded repeatedly after hearing the words, "Yes, Justin, you must observe the other party carefully.""Do not worry."After Joey got in touch with Xu Rui more, she also began to learn to fight with Xu Rui, but Joey's body was very soft. When she was young, she heard that she learned to dance. Later she also danced, but she spent more time studying. superior.It's just that this can't be done quickly, so Xu Rui first taught Joey some lethal "anti-wolves".Joey's high savvy, coupled with his own enthusiasm for this matter, made Xu Rui also an eye-opener.With daily contact, Xu Rui found that although the girl's life was very delicate, she did not have the slightest squeamishness. On the contrary, she had a hearty personality, and she was also very self-reliant. Of course, she can cook, although it is Western food.And Joey's face blindness in Huaxia has been greatly improved as he has been in contact with Xu Rui for longer and longer.She found that she was unconsciously attracted to this man. He is very knowledgeable, can cook, is proficient in music, fighting skills, basketball and other competitive sports. He is also very popular in school and has a gentle personality. He was polite, and it seemed very easy and pleasant to get along with him, and even as long as he was with him, Joey felt particularly safe.The guidance was over, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon outside.Xu Rui drove Joey home and called her who was getting off the car at the door of her house."Joy, do you have time at noon tomorrow?""Of course, what's the matter?" Joey suddenly felt the fawn bump in his chest. Could this be a date invitation?Xu Rui smiled and said, "Tomorrow is our Chinese New Year. I would like to invite you to my house for dinner. Of course, there are some Lu Ci. You can also bring Mrs. Michely or friends."While Joey felt a little lost in his heart, he even felt that this man had a noble character.He didn't know his identity, and he was definitely not looking at the Halls family to approach her, but Xu Rui was very kind to her. Although she invited her to be a guest at home before, she didn't go there for more than a month. The place where martial arts is taught is in a sports hall at Harvard University. She seems to be considering her mood and never go to a private place with her.Joey can feel this."I'm honored." She nodded with a smile and agreed.Staring at Joey's brilliant smile, the azure blue eyes became brighter because of this smile."Can you be my girlfriend?" Xu Rui asked awkwardly.Then I saw the little white face of the co-pilot girl, slowly flushing, her eyes flickering, as if she didn't dare to look at her."Am I too abrupt?" Xu Rui's heart tightened."No!" Joey shook his head, "I'm very happy, I am willing to be your girlfriend."Xu Rui seemed to be sprouting, holding Joey's hand, "I'll be nice to you!""I believe you, you are a very good man."""friendzoned?No, Joey has promised to be his girlfriend just now, and he is indeed a very good man, no problem."It's late, go back, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow morning.""OK."When he returned home, Joey stood at the entrance of the hallway, watching Xu Rui's car leave, and then closed the door reluctantly.He changed his shoes and came in, opening his mouth to call Mrs. Michely, but seeing Justin sitting in the living room, he thought it was an illusion for a while."Justin?" She hurried forward, really Justin herself."Mrs. Michely said you have no class today, where did you go?" Justin took her sister to sit down, "Who sent you back just now?""I followed Xu Rui to learn martial arts, and he sent me back." Joey poured himself a glass of water, "I just promised Xu Rui to be his girlfriend."Justin: "..."Sister, don't you really worry about my brother exploding in place?"Do you know him?" Justin suppressed his impatience, and communicated with his sister gently and with a smile.Oops, I'm late.Knowing that there will be such a result, he should have rushed out just now.Joey gave Justin a desperate move, nodded and smiled: "I understand that Xu Rui is very good, very very, very good."enough!Justin lifted his forehead.He doesn't want to listen, doesn't want to think, doesn't want to listen.The four are very, which is enough to show that my sister's heart is very firm, and he has come in vain this time.Joey didn't seem to notice his brother's despair, Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Xu Rui invited me to his house as a guest. He also asked me to bring Mrs. Michely and friends with me. Since you are here, Justin, come with me tomorrow, Xu Rui said to make Chinese delicacies and I am looking forward to it."Justin smiled stiffly and nodded weakly, "I'm looking forward to it too.""That's great." Joey stood up. "I'm going to take a shower. You can do whatever you want."Watching his sister's back disappear into the room, Justin was lying on the sofa with nothing to love.Very good? What an ancestor!I can see that man tomorrow, right? Just so, he will go and see with his own eyes, what is so good about that man, who dares to pursue his sister.Early in the morning of the Spring Festival, Xu Rui and Lu Ci drove to the supermarket to make a big purchase. The vegetables in the morning were the freshest, so naturally you can't miss it."So you and Joey have confirmed the relationship?" Lu Ci asked."Um!""There are so many good girls in China. You just like a British girl. You say you are not a waste."Xu Rui sneered, "Isn't there you still? Just work harder."Love this thing, where's the color of the skin, and the nationality, he fell in love with Joey, which he hadn't expected before.But Joey doesn't speak Chinese, so it's okay to communicate with his parents. Grandparents can't communicate anymore.After meeting today, ask Joey if he is interested in learning Chinese. He can also be a teacher.After shopping in the supermarket, the two left the supermarket with three shopping bags and drove home."I haven't eaten cold noodles this year!" Lu Ci lay on the roundabout, looking at Xu Rui with pity. He felt abused this year."I have a lot of hot pot." Xu Rui turned around and smiled, "I'll start making it for you in two months.""I can remember."When the two of you are here, you and I say a word, and the knock on the door rang.Stepping forward to open the door, it was actually Joey."Hey, Joey, welcome!" Lu Ci saw a handsome brown-haired man with Joey and a middle-aged woman, letting them in."Hello Lu Ci, Happy New Year, this is a gift I brought. This is my brother Justin, and this is my housekeeper, Mrs. Michelle."Lu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the older brother. He was really afraid that this girl would give Xu Rui a prairie.Off-topic Dear fairies, happy Valentine's Day!
