After Paul hung up the phone, he sat in the co pilot's seat for a moment, but Langley didn't know. So, "Paul, are you ok?"
"Yes, yes, I'm fine." Paul nodded casually, his words were vague, and every muscle in his body was Interpreting: "I, er, give me the car key, I need to go to the airport." After that, Paul was stunned in the same place again, his eyes were dazed, and his expression could not say whether he was happy or nervous, but he was stunned.
"Paul?" Langley had to shake Paul's shoulder and asked anxiously, "what's the matter?"
"Well, here comes meDo." Paul just whispered, then looked up at lenley. "I mean, meDo is in Los Angeles now. She was supposed to come over next week and settle down in Los Angeles. But in order to participate in a volunteer activity, she advanced her trip by a week. She is at the airport now. " Paul repeated these words mechanically, but when he said that, he finally came back to himself, excited and uneasy, and kept waving his palm, "Jesus Christ, blue, she's here!" The voice began to tremble, "but what should I do? What should I do? "
MeDo Ryan, Paul's daughter.
"Paul. Now that meDo has come to Los Angeles, it's natural to give her a warm welcome. " Lan Li laughed brightly, "then the first step, we need to pick up at the airport first."
"Pick up, yes, pick up!" Paul began to look around, "the key? Where's the key? " Paul completely forgot that they were sitting in the car.
"I'll drive." Blue Li looked at Paul and laughed and Tucao to make complaints about it. "I'm worried that you drive your car to Venice beach. You and maid do nothing. This car is going to suffer." Paul realized that he had drunk a lot today, and it's really inappropriate to drive now.
Paul laughed foolishly, sat in the co pilot's seat, and began to nag and worry about himself, "this state is really... Do you want me to change a suit? MeDo certainly doesn't like my body is full of wine, I now speak, tone heavy? Do you want to buy a bottle of breath freshener? Now that meDo has arrived at the airport, he must have to wait for a long time. What should I do? She came here alone. She came to the mainland for the first time. She was not familiar with Jesus Christ. She should have told me before the plane took off. Rebecca didn't say a word, really... "
Langley had never seen Paul talk so much. He was restless and talkative. He didn't need to talk at all. He asked and answered questions by himself. He was very happy. Such Paul, some childish, but also shows the father's attitude, contradictory and harmonious to present a different image.
Whether it's "speed and passion" or "tomorrow's edge", all the distractions will be put aside for the time being. Now, Paul is not an actor, just a father, an ordinary father.
There was no traffic jam along the way, and the road was smooth. However, in 25 minutes, they arrived at the airport smoothly. Paul asked meDo's airline by phone, and then according to the instructions, the two arrived at the terminal where meDo landed. Lanli temporarily parked his car at the side of the road, put Paul down, watched Paul enter the arrival hall, looking for meDo's figure, and then lanli drove slowly to the temporary parking area next to the terminal, waiting for the father and daughter to appear.
Originally, Langley thought that when Paul and meDo finally met in the mainland of the United States, they would need some private space to have a good exchange. Unexpectedly, just five minutes later, we could see Paul and meDo coming straight up.
Paul, holding a suitcase in his right hand and a mountaineering bag on his shoulder, walked ahead in a dull and silent way; MeDo, with a sports bag in her hand, walked in the rear. There was a distance of about two steps between the two people, a little distance, a strange and stiff air surging between them.
Blue Li slightly Leng Leng, but immediately reaction came over. If he remembers correctly, is meDo thirteen or fourteen? It is the rebellious period of teenagers that they gradually have their own sense of independence, and their thoughts on family, society, parents and the future are in a stage of dramatic changes.
MeDo grew up in Hawaii, while Paul lived in Los Angeles. The number of times two people meet is too limited, let alone understand each other, and even each other are too strange. Perhaps, in childhood, a daughter has a blind attachment and worship to her father, but in adolescence, these feelings disappear.
The awkward atmosphere between two people is not uncommon.
Paul saw Langley standing by the car door, scratched his head, and said, "meDo, this is Langley." Dry words, so endless end.
Lan Li raised his hand next to the eyebrow tail, made a simple greeting gesture, and said with a smile, "Lan Li hall."
"Yes, I know." MeDo seems to be a shy little girl. Her figure is a little slim. Her waistcoat matches with denim shorts. Her long dark brown hair droops down. She is flying in the strong wind of the airport. Her eyes are a little curious, but she has some recognition. She looks at Lan Li secretly.
"MeDo Ryan." She was a little slow. Under the gaze of Lan Li, she took the initiative to introduce herself. It seems that in order to make up for her impoliteness, she added, "I've seen 'speed and passion 5', and you've also played in it."
"Then I would recommend you to watch 'crazy love', which movie is more suitable to show my charm." Lanli's Frank words were said in a way of self ridicule, which made meDo's mouth slightly tilted, "please forgive my unexpected visit. We were at a party just now, and Paul saved me. So, I think, at least I can be a driver once, thank you. I hope that my presence will not cause trouble. "
"Party?" MeDo leaned slightly, glanced at Paul, then saw the shy smile on Paul's face, and the corners of her mouth rose a little. "That explains the wine in him."
"Trust me, you'll get used to it. This is Los Angeles, not Honolulu. " Lanli's words seem to make fun of the fact that there are a lot of drunken residents in Los Angeles. Compared with Honolulu, which is a resort style, it's much wilder, which makes meDo's eyes brighten slightly and it's hard to hide her expectation. It can be seen that the reason why meDo came to Los Angeles should be that she wanted to come to the big city to roam. After all, her youth has just begun.
But fortunately, you chose Los Angeles. At least, you can surf and sunbathe here. It's not Honolulu, but it's not New York Just make complaints about it, then praise it? This rhythm made meDo's brain unable to keep up with the speed, and then chuckled.
"I'm a little confused. Do you like Los Angeles or not?" MeDo was a little bit bold, looked at Paul, got a positive look, and took the initiative to say.
"I like Los Angeles, of course." Lanli's answer was crisp and clear, without any hesitation.
But this kind of answer, but let meDo stunned, "what about New York?"
"I love New York. At the same time, I hate New York." Lan Li's answer was meaningful“ What is the difference between "like" and "love"? It can be understood as the intensity of emotion. If you like a city, you just like it, but you don't want to stay; Only the passion of love and hate can become the fetter of the soul.
In her life, meDo has never experienced such complicated emotions. She doesn't even understand the meaning of such contradictory words. Then she saw a big smile from Langley. "You can ask Paul. Welcome to New York if you have a chance. "
Paul felt Langley's narrow eyes, and his memory of being in New York at this time of last year came back to his mind. Then Paul felt meDo's inquiring gaze, and he nodded, "no problem. We can go to New York any time you want. " After that, the conversation stopped again. In front of his daughter, Paul was at a loss, but he wanted to express his concern, so he added, "Langley is a good guide." But it's still dry without content.
"Is there anything interesting in New York?" MeDo's words gradually increased, and the appearance of Langley broke the strange relationship between her and Paul.
"It depends on your preference." "If you're an outdoor enthusiast, I'd suggest you stay in Los Angeles, because New York is an urban forest. It's boring," he said with a shrug But if you're a city explorer, New York is more interesting than Los Angeles. Every alley, every block and every building there may hide unexpected surprises, which come from history, culture and art. "
MeDo's eyes brightened slightly. Paul, who had been watching meDo all the time, looked a little relaxed.
He continued to introduce them with a smile, "if you are a nocturnal animal..." instead of continuing to talk, he looked at Paul and seemed to say: I don't think we should tell teenage girls about this part.
MeDo followed Langley's eyes and looked at Paul. Paul responded and casually said, "the nightlife in New York is nothing more than alcohol, alcohol and alcohol. There is nothing wonderful about it."
But Meiduo didn't believe it. She looked at Lan Li for confirmation. Unexpectedly, Langley nodded seriously, "to be exact, nightlife in America is so boring. Asia is the best place to experience nightlife. Shanghai, Tokyo, Bangkok... The night there is a different world. As for here? "
Blue Li's mouth gently pulled, don't need to say more, Meiduo understood, chuckled, a string of silver bell like laughter finally broke the shackles of the whole atmosphere; Paul took a long breath, looked at his daughter, and laughed with her.
