Chapter 836

Heather directly ignored Derek's question, changed the topic, "by the way, you will attend the Grammy Awards ceremony?"

Lanli can see Heather's full of expectations, so he ignores Derek, who wants to talk and stop. He smiles and nods in affirmation, "as a visitor."

Then, Heather's eyes showed the glory of admiration and expectation. Lan Li had a flash in his mind and said, "well, do you want to join us? I can bring my companions with me. "

On the red carpet, every guest is allowed to bring relatives, partners or friends, which is the official practice. Lanli remembered that Heather had missed the audition of "American Idol". Maybe she would like to see her at the Grammy Awards ceremony. Just a flash of thought, Lan Li did not ponder it carefully, blurted out.

"Really?" Heather couldn't help getting excited. Her voice was distorted, and she even sat up straight. This let Langley know that he made the right choice, "and Annie and Alex! Before you come here, these two little guys are still talking about it. Can we work together? Really? Won't it affect you? Won't Grammy be angry? Won't the media blame you? "

Lan Li was dumbfounded and said, "no, of course not." He nodded his head again and then caught Derek's threatening look in his eyes. Then he realized that it was like inviting a girl to a graduation ceremony, which required not only the consent of the party, but also the approval of the parents of the party that night.

So, lenley looks at Derek with a smile, "if your parents are OK."

Derek put his hands on his chest and gave a "hum" without planning to respond.

Lan Li couldn't help smiling and nodding to show that he understood, "it's too late now. Tonight, you can have a good rest. There are still two days to go before the award ceremony. We can discuss it slowly. Dream, can wait, today realized one, this is enough

"Well!" Heather nodded heavily in affirmation.

Instead of staying any longer, Langley nodded politely, "Derek! Ellie Then he turned and left. Leaving the ward, before the door was closed, Derek could be heard asking anxiously, "what happened just now? What essay? Which song? Why is there a secret between you, but I don't know... "

Behind the words, with the door closed, completely cut off, left behind. From the father's care for his daughter, always. The smile on the corner of lanli's mouth rose gently.

At this time, it was almost midnight. Leaving Mount Sinai Hospital, the cold wave seemed to be calming down a little. The open and spacious streets made the tall buildings on both sides seem to be higher and farther away. The sky cut like a chessboard became very broad, and the whole universe of Buddha was in front of us.

In the chilly wind, Nathan Presley and Roy rockery are still waiting in the hall on the first floor. After seeing Lan Li, they drive to escort him back to the apartment. They leave together.

Back home, took a hot bath, the cold and fatigue gradually dissipated, the whole person slightly relaxed, but sitting on the sofa in the hall, there was no sleepiness. For lanli, this is not a frequent event. Sleeping is always one of his favorite pastimes; But not tonight.

Originally, lanli wanted to go upstairs to find Matthew Dunlop. They played a game of chess. It was a recommended pastime on a cold and snowy night; But then I remember that Matthew is in London now because of his work. Before, when Langley was in Berlin, they were still on the phone.

So, Lan Li simply tidied up himself, took two books from the bookshelf, and then left the apartment again with earplugs and music. In the rustling night wind, walking along the street, but two blocks away, the feet have gradually frozen, and the temperature has dropped a bit, even worse than the winter in London.

One of the advantages of living in New York is that there are always 24-hour business places around the block, including supermarkets.

The supermarket in the middle of the night is always very quiet, but it is not all quiet. In the sight, you can still see the scattered customers, pushing carts, walking alone and out of their souls. It's not sure whether they really have something to buy or whether they are looking for a midnight wandering place in such a big city.

It's like a zombie in the walking dead.

Lanli doesn't know why he likes to stay in the corner of the supermarket. In his last life, he was keen on it. Compared with the coffee shop and the library, he always liked the life of the supermarket. Even if he was accidentally interrupted by people, everything seemed so real.

After entering the supermarket, lanli didn't rush to find a corner and sat down. Instead, he pushed the cart and began to buy things slowly. But in fact, he never knew what he needed or what was missing in the refrigerator. He just wandered aimlessly.

Occasionally, stop, pick up a product, read the manual, with relish; Occasionally, I pass by the fresh food area and watch the staff cleaning the counter. These fresh food must be collected on the same day and can't be placed outside; Occasionally, looking at a housewife, carrying two brands of cleaning agents, comparing the price and ingredients, although lanli did not know why she chose to go shopping in the middle of the night.

This kind of life fragment, always can let Lan Li's restlessness calm down. Whether as a journalist or an actor in this life, it's always very interesting to observe life. It can stop lanli's steps for a while and capture other people's life fragments.

If you do the same thing in a coffee shop, it's full of imagination and petty bourgeoisie, but if you do it in a supermarket, it's weird. However, everyone has some quirks. Maybe, this is the quirks of lanli himself, which can't be explained.

After two long circles, the cart was still empty, but lanli found his corner in the cleaning supplies counter. He sat down cross legged in front of a lot of tide washing liquid, and then took out two books from his backpack. He simply flipped over the cover and was dumbfounded.

These two books are drawn out at random. One is "endless world" published by British novelist Ken Follett in 2009; One is "Stoner", written by the late American writer John Williams in 1965.

Such a combination, really do not know how to describe. The former is a pseudo classical novel, which combines the real characters in history with the fictional characters in the novel to construct a virtual horror story; The latter is a philosophical life novel, which has been published for nearly half a century and still has not been recognized by the world, but in fact, it is a wonderful and poetic popular literature.

After Matthew's arrangement, the bookshelves were arranged in strict alphabetical order, so that Lan Li lost his judgment about the location of the books. The two books he picked out were a little strange. However, this is also the meaning of lanli's "handy".

He put "endless world" on hand for a while and began to read "Stoner". He read this book in a hurry. He always wanted to read it for a second time, but he never started.

In the life before college, reading is an important part of life, almost every day we have to take out a few hours to read; But after coming to New York, busy life has squeezed reading time.

On the bookshelf, Matthew regularly replenished his books, but he turned too little. Europeans always say that Americans read too little, have no inside information, and have no sublimation. Now lanli finally has a visual experience.

Reading is a very magical thing. As long as you are willing to really calm down and enter the world of words, you can open another window to explore a different world. In fact, this is true of every kind of art, including film, music, painting, opera, dance and so on, and literature is no exception.

Before he knew it, Langley entered the world constructed by John Williams, until the cart next to him moved slightly and hit his knee. Reflexively, he raised his head, and then saw a petite girl with a cap. Because of the back light, he could not see her features clearly, but he could vaguely see her wrinkled face. He was very careful, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The girl lowered her voice and said in a panic.

Blue Li with earplugs, simply can't hear clearly, but the faint mouth can still make a judgment, "it doesn't matter." He also responded in a low voice, then reached out and moved the cart a little bit to empty the whole passage as much as possible to ensure smooth traffic.

The girl nodded politely, "thank you." Then he pushed his full cart and walked forward slowly. But he didn't worry. Instead, he stood in front of the shelf and began to look at it slowly. It seemed that he was preparing to buy cleaning supplies.

Lanli realized that he might be blocking the shelf, so he stood up, took off the earplugs, and prepared to get out of the way and go to the opposite side. This action makes the girl more sorry, "it's OK, I just need a bucket of detergent.". I'll be fine soon. "

Lan Li didn't speak. He just pursed a smile. Then he sat down cross legged on the opposite side and let the whole laundry liquid shelf open. Then he put on the earplugs again, opened the books and continued to read.

As like as two peas in the sky, the blue light looked at a figure in front of her. She sat down with her legs crossed, and placed several different brands of laundry detergent in front of her. She was quietly surveying it as if she were looking at Russian doll, trying to understand the mystery -- they were the same except size.

Lan Li's smile on the corner of his mouth was lightened, then he pursed the corner of his mouth and took off the earplug. "Do you need a little help?"

"Oh, that would be great." The woman in front of her nodded naturally, took off her earplugs and raised her head. The next second, the woman was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes; Similarly, blue Li also raised eyebrow tail, did not hide his surprise.
