Chapter 35： birthday party

Gu Luobei's October this year was really magnificent. Not to mention the early winter in Boston, he first finished filming a movie, then received an invitation from Universal Music, and finally broke his face with his teammates who were in a melancholy mood. After such an experience, there is no problem in making it into a TV series.

After entering November, the turmoil of the previous month was forgotten, and Gu Luobei first focused on Teddy Bell, because Teddy Bell officially launched on November 1, 2000. Twenty years old.

In fact, in the United States, the twentieth birthday does not mean anything. Only the ages of sixteen, eighteen, twenty-one, thirty, and one hundred have special meanings. For example, the age of sixteen is the legal driving age in the United States, and Gu Luobei got his driver's license after his sixteenth birthday; Leaving my parents and starting my own life; for example, twenty-one is the legal drinking age in the United States. Going into a bar with your ID and getting drunk is almost a repertoire for twenty-first birthdays. Therefore, relatively speaking, the 20th birthday has no name and is not taken seriously.

But Gu Luobei still had a Chinese imprint in his soul. The 20th birthday is very important in China, so he still took Teddy Bell and said he was going to celebrate. Teddy Bell thought that it would be his brother's eighteenth birthday in ten days, and he couldn't understand the melancholy mood of the past two days, so he nodded and agreed.

Gu Luobei drove his old Chevrolet all the way south, preparing to go back to New York for a party. Alongside, in addition to Teddy Bell, there is Eden Hudson.

Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson had met many times in the two years before that. , In the face of the big iceberg of Eden Hudson, Teddy Bell, with his thicker nerves, did not feel oppressed at all. But as it happens, Teddy Bell's enthusiasm is not annoying. Instead, Eden Hudson doesn't know how to deal with it. Iceberg face also had a losing day. But after getting along for a long time, Eden Hudson also "reluctantly" pulled Teddy Bell into the ranks of close friends.

But Gu Luobei knew that Eden Hudson really regarded Teddy Bell as a friend. If he hated it, even if Teddy Bell was his brother, Eden Hudson would not be good. His face, let alone "tolerating" Teddy Bell so many times.

After getting in the car, it was about a twenty-minute drive out of Boston when Eden Hudson said, "My birthday is coming soon."

"Isn't your birthday on the 10th of this month, one day earlier than Bei." Teddy Bell looked at Eden Hudson suspiciously, looking at Eden Hudson, "We just wanted to call you to celebrate together. called you."

Hearing Teddy Bell's words, Eden Hudson felt that he had blue veins, and he was awkward for 20 minutes. He didn't expect that Gu Luobei knew it long ago, but he deliberately didn't say it, causing himself to go out. Embarrassed. Eden Hudson glared at Gu Luobei viciously, but Gu Luobei looked like he had succeeded in a conspiracy, and even hummed a little tune, causing Eden Hudson's iceberg face to break through and start grinding his teeth. .

Eden Hudson and Teddy Bell were both born in 1980. Eden Hudson was nine days younger than Teddy Bell. Gu Luobei knew this by accident. In freshman year, Gu Luobei and Eden Hudson didn't know each other well, so Teddy Bell's coming-of-age ceremony was when the two brothers went home; last year was just a little birthday, and if it wasn't for Katherine Bell remembering , The two brothers probably didn't remember that they were one year older. I finally remembered this year, and it was also a big birthday, so Gu Luobei took Eden Hudson to celebrate together.

We set off at noon, and when we arrived in New York, it was only three o'clock. It was still early before the wonderful life in the evening. The three of Gu Luobei and his party went home directly.

Before the car's engine was turned off, Catherine Bell walked out of the dry cleaner. Catherine Bell in front of her was wearing a white pullover sweater, with jeans and flat shoes on her lower body for the convenience of work, a brown over-the-knee jacket, and her long golden hair was simply tied in a loop. Updo, secure with blue shark clips. The crow's feet at the corners of the eyes were clearly visible because of the lack of makeup on her face, but it did not make Catherine Bell look old, on the contrary, she had a little more charm. Even after many years of hard life, the elegant and demure temperament of Catherine Bell has still not been erased. No wonder the neighbors always say that she is from a young lady. This kind of temperament is indeed impossible to have if she has not been cultivated since childhood.

Gu Luobei got out of the car and ran over excitedly, "Catherine, I'm back." Teddy Bell stayed behind, turned off the car, pulled out the key, and got out of the car.

But before Gu Luobei could hug him, Catherine Bell gave her a hard knock on the head, "You still know how to come back!" Gu Luobei covered his head and grinned. How could he still look mature at "forty-eight years old"? Think of a fourteen-year-old high school student.

Gu Luobei knew that he sneaked away to attend the Eagle Rock Music Festival in the middle of the night, and then he didn't come back for more than two months, which must have worried his mother, so he didn't refute, just said with a smile, "Catherine, I miss you. That's it." Those words were very nauseous, and those who didn't know thought that Gu Luobei was having a love affair with his lover, which made Eden Hudson stand beside him and his eyes almost rolled into his eyelids.

Thinking about how I got along with my parents in my past life, I was as polite as a stranger. The so-called family relationship is a rare thing seen in TV dramas and novels. In this lifetime, when Gu Luobei and Catherine Bell got along, he always wanted to get closer and closer. Originally, I thought the actions and tone were too naive, but then I thought about it, no matter how old the child is, he is still a child in front of his parents, and his heart is not so awkward.

When Gu Luobei said this, Catherine Bell laughed helplessly. In fact, Catherine Bell has always been very reassured about this young son. He studies, lives, and does things for others. The youngest son has passed the threshold before the age of three, so no one has been worried. Neighbors know that the Bell family has an almighty. Little genius. Therefore, Katherine Bell is just talking, not really angry.

Catherine Bell looked at Gu Luobei up and down, and always felt that her son was a little darker and thinner. Although she said she was not worried, she was driving across the United States alone, at a music festival and filming a movie. As a mother, she would inevitably think about it. Take a good look at the child to make sure he is safe and sound.

"My friend came to the house, and it's still like a child." Although she felt sorry for her son's loss of weight, Catherine Bell didn't show it either. She just patted her son's right hand, and then held the slightly cold right hand with His eyes gestured to Eden Hudson, whose eyes were about to disappear in front of him.

"Iceberg face, this is my mother, Catherine; this is my roommate." Gu Luobei ignored Eden Hudson's look of contempt and happily introduced it.

In front of the elders, Eden Hudson still had an iceberg face that was about to die, but his voice was not too stiff, flat and polite, "Mrs Bell, first meeting, I am Eden Hudson, someone roommate."

"Catherine, Eden and I are in the same year, and our birthday is one day earlier than Bei's. This time we come back to celebrate the birthday together." Teddy Bell had already parked the car and walked over with a smile.

Catherine Bell naturally knew that the children came back to celebrate their birthdays, so she was not surprised at all, "That's just right, let's have dinner together tonight." After that, the group of four walked to the house next to the "Eleven Dry Cleaners".

Bell's house is very small, less than 50 square meters. Sitting on the wooden sofa in the living room, you can feel the pressure of the surrounding walls. But Eden-Hudson had a very happy meal. Although the place is small, the warmth of home can be seen everywhere.

From the beginning of dinner preparation, the house was filled with all kinds of noisy noises. In the small kitchen Except for Catherine Bell, the two brothers were always busy in and out, and Gu Luobei also pulled up from time to time. Eden-Hudson helps with the housework. The dinner at the square table of four was also full of laughter. The two brothers, Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell, always had endless topics to talk about, about school, music festivals, filming, including dry cleaners. The situation and so on, their communication with Catherine Bell is like they call each other, casually cordial and equal.

In fact, the warmth of a family is not necessarily the brocade clothes and jade food, nor is it necessarily full of children and grandchildren, a dim light, a room of laughter, a kind of emotion called family affection, is the existence of "home". For the first time in two years, Eden Hudson's iceberg face has softened, and the stiff lip line has softened a lot. No full house, no flowers and wine, no music, this birthday party is too petty, but precious.

"I know you're a thinker, but you have to pay attention to your body. It's music and movies, and you're still so busy with your studies." When Catherine Bell was washing dishes in the kitchen, Gu Luobei was helping, and she couldn't help but worry. He said, "Teddy is busy studying all day and night. You already have a bad stomach. No matter how busy you are without paying attention to the time, it will be serious in the future."

Gu Luobei didn't reply, he just listened quietly, returning "en" from time to time to indicate that he was listening. Many times, listening to mother nagging is actually a happy thing. People always have to wait until a certain age to know this truth. Gu Luobei has never heard his mother's nagging in his life. In this life, he cherishes it very much. So every time Kathleen Bell was nagging, he always enjoyed it, because it made him feel like a child, and his mother's concern for her couldn't be more real.

Today's first update, so what, urgently asking for a recommendation!
