"Hey, Michael, I'm ready to go." As Wang Yang said, he took out a pair of sneakers from the shoe cabinet by the door and put them on, bent over to tie the shoelaces, and looked back at Michael Pitt who was not far away. , smiled and said: "You can eat instant noodles yourself, haha!"

Michael Pitt leaned against the wall, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with a smile, and prepared to smoke one.

"Be careful, don't burn my apartment down." Wang Yang warned a few words, tied his shoelaces, he took two steps to the ground, opened the door and was about to go out, when his cell phone rang suddenly stand up. He took it out and looked, his cheerful face gradually calmed down, he connected the phone, and said, "Hi, Rachel." Michael Pitt over there stopped with a cigarette holder and a lighter, and looked at Wang. Young.

"Hi, Jan, do you have any show tonight?" Rachel's gentle voice with a smile came over. Hearing her question, Wang Yang touched his head a little unnaturally, and said, "I'm going to Jessica's house for dinner." The phone was quiet for a while, and then Rachel let out a faint "oh". , calmly said: "Then I won't bother you."

Hearing that she was about to hang up, Wang Yang couldn't help shouting: "Rachel!" Rachel said softly, "What?" Wang Yang was silent for a while, and then said: "Rachel, I want to say thank you." Qiu hummed and said, "Yang, that's what I want to tell you too, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yang silently put the phone back in his pocket. Michael Pete over there pressed the lighter, lit the cigarette butt in his mouth, looked at Wang Yang and said, "Yang, I also want to tell you, thank you."

"Come on." Wang Yang shook his head with a smile, said "I'm leaving", and walked outside.

In the afternoon, a parade celebration was being held on the streets. Performance troupes dressed in Indian costumes were performing various performances. The streets were lined with tourists. Everyone was smiling, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

Wang Yang stood on the side of the street watching for a long time before continuing on his way. Due to road closures in many sections and traffic congestion, he did not drive out by himself, but chose the subway and walking. Arriving at the community where Jessica's house is located, passing the small fountain, and walking for a while, Wang Yang looked at the beautiful two-story house in front, took out his mobile phone and called Jessica, smiling, "I'm here."

After putting away his mobile phone, Wang Yang came to the grass in front of Jessica's house, and saw a white Labrador running towards him. It was Danny, who hadn't seen Wang Yang for a long time. The familiar smell suddenly rushed over with extreme excitement. Wang Yang let out a "wow", grabbed Danny's paws with both hands, and said with a smile: "Hi, Danny, how are you doing recently?"

Danny stuck out his tongue and gasped for breath, his feet kept pushing hard, trying to break free from Wang Yang's control, and then threw himself on him.

"Danny, don't do this!" Jessica yelled when she came out of the house. She was wearing a set of colorful clothes, with cloth scarves tied around her wrists, her brown hair was hanging down, and she was wearing a headband. With a few colorful feathers, it looks like an Indian, very beautiful. She came over, patted Danny's head lightly, and said with a smile: "Danny, go away, don't pester Yang."

"Hi!" Wang Yang greeted her, let go of Danny's hand, and said, "It's okay, Jessica, you know I like dogs." He jumped up and down, so he squatted down and stroked Danny's neck vigorously, and said with a smile, "Dude, you are so enthusiastic... Oh!" He only felt his cheeks burn, and was licked by Danny's big tongue. Gritting his teeth with a smile, he said, "You actually sneaked up on me, let's see how I deal with you!" As he spoke, he rubbed and rubbed Danny's head until he looked like a chow chow dog.

Jessica smiled and watched him play with Danny, and her heart was full of sweetness. She bent her body and supported her knees, leaned forward and smiled and said, "Jan, you should attack its ears and blow a little bit." Tone, there is its weakness!"

"As ordered,

sir! "Wang Yang smiled and opened his mouth like a lion roaring, and breathed into Danny's ear. Danny's whole dog trembled suddenly, his ears perked up in doubt, and then he rushed at him even more frantically, knocking him Fell down on the grass.

Jessica laughed happily beside her, let out a crisp laugh, and shouted: "Be careful, it's going to lick your face! Oh, pay attention to the left side!"

After playing with Danny for a while, Wang Yang followed Jessica into the room, Joshua went out to play and hadn't come back yet, and Cathy was busy in the kitchen at the back, so only Mark Alba was in the living room. Jessica smiled at Wang Yang and said: "Yang, you can do whatever you want, I will continue to prepare dinner." She looked at Mark Alba again, and said with a smile: "Dad, please greet Yang for me." , she left the living room and went to the kitchen at the back of the house.

Wang Yang looked at Mark Alba, who was wearing a white shirt, and said with a smile, "Hey, Mark." Mark Alba had no expression on his tough face, and looked at Wang Yang very seriously, as if this was their first time. It's like meeting for the first time. He stretched out a hand to Wang Yang, Wang Yang reached out to shake his hand, Mark Alba pulled hard, and the other hand patted Wang Yang's shoulder vigorously, and said calmly: "Boy, welcome to my house... "

"Mark, thank you..." Wang Yang laughed, his shoulder hurt a little from Mark's slap, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, the strength is really great.

After saying hello, the two sat down on the fabric sofa. Mark Alba sat upright, always maintaining a serious demeanor. If it was a year or so ago, Wang Yang might feel a little embarrassed now, but after so much and dealing with so many middle-aged people, he has already handled it with ease; besides, sitting in a meeting room is more difficult than it is now It's much more uncomfortable.

Seeing that Mark still didn't speak, Wang Yang looked at him and said proactively: "Mark, I also want to thank you. Mr. Hebrew Karl is a good lawyer, and he helped me a lot in legal affairs." Hebrew - Carl was introduced to him by Jessica, and Jessica must have gotten the information from Mark.

"It's nothing." Mark Alba finally spoke, and he suddenly asked, "Jan, your movie "High School Musical" is about to start shooting, right?"

Wang Yang said "yes" and replied: "Everything is ready. After Thanksgiving, we will go to Salt Lake City, Utah, where "High School Musical" will be filmed."

"Utah." Mark Alba said, with a smile appearing on his face, and said: "A good place, Mendooville Air Force Base is there, and the pilots there are all elites." He looked Wang Yang next to him said, "Did you know that a group of excellent B-29 bomber pilots were trained there, and Paul Tibbetts was one of them, who later dropped the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima."

Wang Yang nodded silently, and said: "Yes, I know. The 'Enola Gay' bomber, the 'Little Boy' atomic bomb, they ended the war." Mark Alba's eyes suddenly became interested, Said: "Everyone knows the Hiroshima atomic bombing and 'Little Boy', but few people remember that it was the bomber dropped by the 'Enola Gay' bomber."

"Maybe I just have a good memory." Wang Yang shrugged, and said seriously: "I don't like war, but I will learn about it. Especially World War II, it happened in the most recent world war, and I want to know why Will there be war? How will it end? What will it bring us? We need to know this so that those who have suffered and died will rest in peace."

Mark Alba nodded in agreement, smiled at him and said, "Well said."

"Hi, Dad, Jan." Jessica looked into the hall from the corridor, seeing that the two of them got along well, she couldn't help being happy, she smiled sweetly: "I just came out to have a look, you continue to chat ..." After that, she hummed and walked towards the kitchen.

Wang Yang and Mark looked at each other and smiled. Mark made a rare joke: "What is my daughter worried about? Does she think I will fight with you?" Wang Yang smiled and did not speak. He felt that the current atmosphere was very strange. He seemed to be "meeting his father-in-law." , Mark completely treated him as Jessica's boyfriend. But he's here today, for a family dinner at Alba's house, and it's no different.

"I heard from Jessica that you took good care of her when you were in San Francisco, didn't you?" Mark Alba looked at him, his expression slowly returning to seriousness, as if he wanted to say something serious.

"Oh?" Wang Yang was stunned, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile, "I think so. You know, the teacher told me to take care of her at the time. I was a good student, so I did. "

Mark looked at Wang Yang in silence for a long time, then suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder, solemnly said: "Then continue to take good care of her, remember, don't let her suffer any harm."

Wang Yang looked at Mark Alba calmly, without any evasion in his eyes, he nodded emphatically, and said, "I will."

"That's good!" Mark laughed, looking at the young and mature handsome guy in front of him, he felt very relieved and happy for his daughter. As for those worries, he decided not to think about them for the time being, there was no need to worry about imaginary things. Mark stood up with a smile, and said, "Want to see photos of me when I served in the Air Force?"

"Wow!" Wang Yang stood up and said with a smile, "Of course, my honor."

The night has fallen, and the wide and long table in the dining room is filled with all kinds of tempting delicacies, such as fluffy bread, pumpkin pie, ham, etc.; of course, there is a delicious, shiny roast turkey.

The Alba family sat at the table with Wang Yang, Mark sat at the head of the family, his wife Cathy and Joshua sat on his left, and Jessica and Wang Yang sat on his right. Mark looked at them and said the opening words of the dinner with a sincere face: "On this day, we want to thank a lot, thank those who sacrificed for freedom, thank those who have helped us... thank the Lord, He has given Thank you for our abundant food and life that breathes freely! Amen."

Cathy, Joshua, and Jessica all closed their eyes and said sincerely: "Thank you for everything, Amen." Wang Yang thought about his current happiness and the beautiful atmosphere, and said softly : "Thanks for all this, amen."

After praying, Joshua couldn't wait to take a piece of bread, took a big bite and gnawed, saying vaguely, "Oh, it's really delicious! My God, I'm almost starving to death."

Seeing their son gobbled it up, Mark and Cathy both smiled and shook their heads. Jessica looked at Wang Yang expectantly, and asked, "Yang, would you like some pumpkin pie?" Wang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, thank you." Jessica picked up a knife and cut that A piece of pumpkin pie was delivered to Wang Yang's dinner plate with a smile.

Seeing her being so active, Wang Yang guessed that this pumpkin pie must be made by her, so he tasted it carefully, it was very soft and sweet. He looked at Jessica, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Wow, this pumpkin pie is delicious, the taste is very good, and this kind of sweetness..." He thought for a while and smiled: "I guess it should be put A lot of honey goes in?"

Seeing him enjoy eating and complimenting him, Jessica was happy and sweet in her heart. Why does she like cooking? That's why, she likes to see people she cares about enjoying the food she makes, she loves the feeling. Hearing what Wang Yang said later, she was surprised and said, "Yang, how do you know?"

Being watched curiously by everyone, Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, took another bite of the pie, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I grew up in restaurants, and I know these tricks."

Everyone suddenly came over, and Joshua, who was eating bread, asked curiously: "Yang, there is also pumpkin pie in Chinese food?"

"There are too many dishes in Chinese food. I don't know if there is pumpkin pie, but my restaurant has it." Wang Yang laughed. Look kindly. He explained authentically: "You know, a small restaurant with no reputation, if you want to maintain it, you have to satisfy a lot of customers' needs and open more 'business'. So we accept reservations from customers, who wants to eat pumpkin pie, Our restaurants can do that too.”

After listening to his words, everyone understood. Cathy suddenly asked: "Yang, I once cooked a Chinese meal, but it doesn't taste like a restaurant, I don't know what's going on?" Wang Yang said while eating pumpkin pie: "Oh, what kind of dish is it? ? Tell me how you did it?"

Jessica didn't speak, and watched quietly as her family and Wang Yang had a happy conversation. The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile, and her heart was sweeter than eating pumpkin pie.

During this pleasant and sumptuous dinner, Wang Yang answered many questions about Chinese food, and talked about some movies and life; of course, he also heard a lot about the Alba family and knew a lot about Jesse card fun facts. He seemed to have integrated into this family and became a part of it. He felt very warm and felt the family's love for Jessica. Don't let her get hurt!

Under the bright starry sky, Wang Yang and Jessica were walking on the road in the community, not far from the small fountain. When he came to the fountain, Wang Yang stopped and said, "Just send it here." He looked at Jessica's face, under the bright street lights, she looked so charming and beautiful, he said: "Thank you for your invitation. I had a very good dinner." He smiled again: "That roast turkey is delicious." It's not small at all, and there is still a lot left.

"As long as you like it." Jessica also looked at him, her eyes not avoiding at all.

"Thank you, Mary." Wang Yang grinned. Mary is her nickname, and he also knew it from Cathy just now. Of course, Jessica's middle name is Mary, but he didn't notice it before. That's all.

Jessica also smiled with the corners of her lips curled up, and suddenly said: "Call me Jessica." She took a deep breath, her heart suddenly beat very fast, and said courageously: "Yan, I like your reading The sound of the name!"

Wang Yang knew what she was talking about, and his heartbeat quickened immediately. He nodded and said, "OK, Jessica..." Looking at her pair of crystal-like eyes, the scorching eyes full of anticipation, he couldn't help but He took a breath, took a step forward, his heart was beating fast, but he moved slowly towards Jessica's lips.

Jessica stared slightly, her lips trembling uncontrollably. Seeing him getting closer, she felt that she couldn't breathe suddenly, and her heart felt suffocated. The scene she had been dreaming about for a long time was finally coming. ?

Touching those two soft and hot lips, Wang Yang seemed to feel her mood, kissed her lightly, then raised his head to look into her eyes, grabbed her hand, and asked her sincerely and tenderly. Said: "Jessica, can you be my girlfriend?"

An extremely happy smile appeared on Jessica's face. She suppressed her breath and nodded again and again. She wanted to speak but couldn't. She threw herself into Wang Yang's arms, hugged his back tightly, and said : "Of course, of course!" She felt so happy, so lucky, she closed her eyes and kept saying in her heart, "Thank God, thank you..."

Wang Yang also hugged her tightly, stroking her hair lightly with his chin, a warmth surged in his heart, and the sweetness of love that had been lost for a long time, he seemed to have recovered a part of his soul, his whole body They were all trembling with joy. Since the reunion, Jessica has been supporting him, encouraging him, and helping him fulfill his dreams. This is his sweetheart, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Wang Yang kissed her forehead again, and said with a smile, "Thank you, my sweetheart!" After finishing speaking, he kissed her lips again.
