Chapter 7： Empty Valley Orchid

Watching Anne Hathaway disappear into the church at the intersection, Gu Luobei turned around and got into the car again.

Although Gu Luobei's Chevrolet is over 30 years old, it is still very solid. Faded red, big round fenders, and a light bulb-shaped cab. On top of that, it's a sturdy piece of iron that will never break, the kind of sturdy thing you see at a car accident scene: it doesn't even rub off a bit of paint, and it's a mess all around. , full of shards of foreign cars destroyed by it. Also, the engine was only replaced last year, which is one of the reasons Kathryn Bell was assured of Gu Luobei's road trip across the United States.

Fortunately, Gu Luobei left early. Although there were already a lot of vehicles on the road, it was not yet the rush hour for work. It only took less than an hour to see the entrance of Interstate 95. Once on Highway 95, you can enter New Jersey in less than twenty miles.

In order to plan this road trip, Gu Luobei had already made perfect preparations, starting from New York and passing through 14 states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, After Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and finally to Los Angeles, California. From New York to Los Angeles, across the United States from the East Coast, all the way to the West Coast, the whole journey is 2,800 miles.

Gu Luobei estimated that this road trip will take about 40 hours. He plans to reach the destination in three to four days. In this way, he can still catch up with the Eagle Rock Music Festival, and he can also enjoy the road trip along the way. fun of.

The sun before seven o'clock in the morning was not very hot. The sun was blocked by the high-rise buildings in New York City. As the car moved, it entered the field of vision little by little. Soon, the rising sun took the driving The room is filled with sunshine, and the warm and warm sunshine smell makes people feel good.

The hustle and bustle of the city is still not far behind, and the tranquility of the suburbs is already beckoning at the end of the line of sight. The road that can't be seen at a glance is flanked by flat grasslands, or farms are more accurate, because cattle and sheep can still be seen on the green flat ground. Farmhouses stand so quietly in the greenery, and behind them are The long forest, I don't know if it is a pine tree or a metasequoia. The endless green spreads from the road underfoot to the distance. Even if there is a forest in the middle, the green on the ground continues to challenge the limit of sight and extends endlessly. People can't help but imagine that maybe the end of the green is the vast sea, the junction of green and blue, and the delicate white sand as a transition in the middle, that is such a magnificent picture.

The broad vision makes people feel relaxed. Although Gu Luobei hadn't slept all night, he was still full of energy at this time, humming a little tune and jumping up involuntarily.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in sight. A slender figure stood on the right side of the road. He stretched out his right hand and pointed his thumb up. Gu Luobei knew that this was a gesture of asking for a free ride.

Gu Luobei parked the car on the right side of the road, crossed the passenger seat, and stuck his head out, "Where are you going?"

In front of him is a girl, wearing a white shirt and denim shorts, with a pair of brown boots underneath, and a cowboy hat on her head. It's a simple outfit, but wearing this girl makes people feel that the proportions are just right. . Because of the hat, people can't see her face clearly, only her slightly cherry-colored lips can be seen. But it was just such a stop, the green stretches behind him naturally became the background, the white shirt swayed gently in the morning breeze, and there was a gray rucksack beside those slender legs, with outstanding temperament, Gu Gu A word suddenly appeared in Luo Bei's mind: Konggu Youlan.

When Gu Luobei was looking at the girl, the girl was also looking at Gu Luobei. The neat short hair makes people clearly see the contours of his face, eyebrows, eyes and nose, as if they were carved stroke by stroke by the world's top artists, and the bright smile on the corner of his mouth makes people feel the taste of sunshine .

The girl put her hands on the brim of her hat and built a pergola. Although the sun was not bright at this time, she could still feel the dazzling sunlight when she looked up and spoke, "Where are you going? See where you can take me? Are you going to New Jersey?"

Gu Luobei took another look at the big rucksack beside the girl, guessing in her heart that she must have also run out for a road trip, he waved, "Get in the car." Then he opened the passenger seat.

The girl skillfully threw the rucksack onto the seat, and got into the car with one step. After the door slammed shut, the girl fastened her seat belt and said, "Let's go."

Listening to the hearty voice of giving orders, Gu Luobei's mouth curved into an arc and started the engine again. The car just drove out when I heard a girl's bright voice, "Thank you very much. My name is Lively, Blake Lively." Although the girl's voice was immature, it had a faint hoarseness. After growing up, the voice should be the kind of lazy and **** voice. But now she is still young, and her personality is lively, so her voice sounds crisp, but it doesn't bring out the characteristics of her voice.

Hearing this self-introduction, Gu Luobei raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but draw a smile. "Bell, Evan Bell."

Unexpectedly, it was Blake Lively. The girl who officially entered the public eye with "Summer of Jeans" and became popular with the TV series "Gossip Girl", although she had not been able to have a really good film score before Gu Luobei's car accident, her outstanding temperament and strong Her aura, as well as her perfect control of dresses, have made her the darling of the world's fashion, and she has even been favored by Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel Fashion Lagerfeld.

The future queen of fashion seems to be just a little girl of fifteen or sixteen now. Gu Luobei looked back and looked at him. The face that was covered by the hat just now was completely clear. The golden wavy curly hair was **** at will, revealing the slightly immature face. . At this moment, Blake Lively just turned his head and smiled at Gu Luobei, which made people feel astonished.

The dazzling sunlight behind her made her face not very clear. Her green eyes revealed sincerity and frankness, which made her look even more charming against the blond hair. There is a mole on the right side of the tall nose, but it does not lose the beauty at all, but adds a different kind of sexy, a fist-sized melon seed face, and a hearty smile on the corner of the mouth. Like the sunshine in June, it is dazzling.

To be honest, Blake Lively's facial features are still not fully open now. He is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if European and American girls develop early, their eyebrows are just beginning to take shape. Therefore, she can't be said to be a beautiful woman now, she can only be said to be a beautiful woman, not to mention her powerful aura that will swept the fashion industry in the future, and now she is completely a yellow-haired girl. However, her bright smile like a child who fascinated countless men in the future is still eye-catching at this time.

This moment's smile, because of the sunshine and grassland as the background, surprised Gu Luobei, but it was only a momentary thing. Blake Lively turned his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth remained the same, "Bell, what is your destination?" The hitchhiker naturally needs to know the other party's destination.

"Los Angeles, what about you?" Gu Luobei turned his head and focused on driving. Safety is the first priority in driving. "If you stop by the way, I can take you there. There is still time." Although just now Black- Lively was asking about New Jersey, but now it looks like she's going a little further.

But I didn't hear Blake Lively's answer, I only heard two applause. Gu Luobei saw her smile turning back and forth from the corner of his eyes. Blake Lively's smile was real Much like a child, like a child who gets a Barbie or candy at the age of four or five, as clean as an angel. "I'm going to LA too, what a coincidence! I wanted to hitch a ride all the way to LA."

Gu Luobei was speechless when he heard it. If he hadn't met him, according to Blake Lively's idea, he would hitch a ride across the United States. Sure enough, he was still a child, and he ran out without much thought. Originally thought it was an empty valley orchid, but now it looks more like a desert rose.

"Lively, I hope your parents don't think I'm a human trafficker and kidnap you from your home." Gu Luobei said somewhat helplessly, although he didn't want to worry about other people's family affairs , after all, it was the first time we met. But Blake Lively, this little baby, came out with a suitcase like this, ready to hitch a ride across the United States, it is really unimaginable. Even in America, a country that encourages children's independence, it's an idea that parents won't approve of.

"Don't worry, they know I'm going to Los Angeles to find my brother." There was a sly glint in Blake Lively's eyes. What she didn't say was that the family thought she was going by train, not hitchhiking. road trip. Road trips, something she has always wanted to do.

It turned out that the family knew about it. Gu Luobei didn't remember very clearly, but he vaguely had the impression that Blake Lively seemed to come from a family in the entertainment industry, and his parents and other family members were people in this circle. Therefore, it is estimated that such a family is more open-minded. This is not something that an outsider like Gu Luobei can say.

Therefore, Gu Luobei did not pursue any further investigations, but changed his tone, "You are only thirteen or fourteen years old, so you are not worried that I am a bad person?" His voice was full of ridicule, even some unruly. joke.

"It doesn't look like you." Well, Gu Luobei was despised, despised by a little girl. In fact, what Blake Lively didn't say is that she also waited for more than two hours today, during which several passing cars stopped, but she hesitated to refuse, because she was worried that the driver was malicious. The heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of preventing others is indispensable. Gu Luobei was chosen because Blake Lively saw the sun in those crystal clear blue eyes.

"Never underestimate a man." Gu Luobei coughed twice, showing a ruffian smile to Blake Lively.
