Heather directly ignored Derek's questioning and changed the subject, "By the way, you will attend the Grammy Awards, right?"

Lan Li could see Heather's eyes full of expectation, so he ignored Derek who was hesitant next to him, smiled and nodded in affirmation, "As a visitor."

Immediately, Heather's eyes revealed the radiance of admiration, and the expectation was faintly surging. An inspiration flashed in Lan Li's mind and said, "How about it, do you want to attend together? I can bring my companions to attend."

On the red carpet, every guest is allowed to bring relatives, partners or friends to attend. This is an official practice. However, Lan Li remembered that Heather had missed the "American Idol" audition, and perhaps she would be happy to go to the Grammy Awards. It was just a flash of thought, Lan Li blurted out without careful consideration.

"Really?" Heather couldn't help getting excited, his voice deformed, and even the whole person sat up straight. This let Lan Li know that he made the right choice, "And Annie and Alex! Before you came over, these two little guys were still talking, can we be together? Is it really possible? No? Will it affect you? Will Grammys not be angry? Will the media blame you?"

Lan Li laughed blankly, "No, of course not." Nodded again to affirm, and then he caught Derek's threatening eyes from the corner of his eyes, and then realized: It's like inviting a girl to a graduation ceremony, not only is it necessary To obtain the consent of the person concerned, the approval of the parents of the person concerned must be obtained that evening.

So Lan Li looked at Derek with a smile, "The premise is that your parents are fine."

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

Lan Li couldn't help but smiled and nodded to express his understanding, "It's too early now. Tonight, you can have a good rest. There are still two days before the awards ceremony, and we can discuss it slowly. Dreams can be more Wait, one has been implemented today, that's enough."

"Yeah!" Heather nodded heavily, expressing affirmation.

Lan Li did not stay any longer, nodded politely, "Derek! Ellie!" Then turned to leave. Leaving the ward, before the door was closed, Derek could be faintly heard anxiously asking, "What the **** was going on just now? What essay? Which song? Why is there a signal between you, but I don’t know..."

The words behind, accompanied by the closing of the door, were completely cut off and stayed behind. The care from father to daughter is always the case. The smile at the corner of Lan Li's mouth could not help but lifted slightly.

It was close to midnight. Leaving the Mount Sinai Hospital, the raging cold wave seemed to calm down a bit. The empty and spacious streets made the tall buildings on both sides of the stand seem to be higher and higher and farther and farther away, cut like a chessboard. The sky became extremely broad, as if the entire universe was present in front of the eyes.

In the cold wind, Nathan Press and Roy Rockley still did not leave. They waited in the lobby on the first floor. After seeing Lan Li, they drove to personally escorted Lan Li back to the apartment, and the two of them got together. go away.

When I got home, I took a hot shower. The cold and exhaustion of my whole body gradually dissipated. I relaxed a little, but I sat on the sofa in the hall and didn't feel sleepy at all. For Lan Li, this is not a frequent occurrence. Sleeping is always one of his most passionate pastimes; but not tonight.

Originally, Lan Li was thinking of going upstairs to find Matthew Dunlop. The two players played a game of chess. It was a recommended pastime on cold snowy nights; but then I remembered that because of work, Matthew is now In London, when Renly was in Berlin, the two were still talking on the phone.

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

One of the advantages of living in New York is that there are always places open 24 hours a day, including supermarkets, near the block.

The supermarket at midnight always looks very quiet, but it is not all quiet. In sight, you can still see the sparse, coming and going customers, pushing carts, walking alone and desperately, it is uncertain whether they really have something to buy, or are they looking for something in the huge city A place to wander around at midnight.

Just like the zombies in "The Walking Dead".

Lan Li didn't know why he liked to be in the corner of the supermarket. In his last life, he was keen on this matter. Compared with the coffee house and the library, he always liked the atmosphere of supermarket life even more. It was people who interrupted my thoughts occasionally, and everything seemed so real.

After entering the supermarket, Lan Li did not rush to find a corner and sat down. Instead, he pushed the cart and started shopping slowly, but in fact, he never knew what he needed or what was missing in the refrigerator. Just wandering aimlessly.

Occasionally, stop, pick up a product, read the instructions, and enjoy it; occasionally, pass by the fresh food area and watch the staff cleaning the counter-these fresh foods must be stored that day and cannot be placed outside; occasionally, Looking at a certain housewife, carrying two brands of cleaning agents, comparing prices and ingredients, although Lan Li didn't know why she chose to go out shopping at midnight.

Such a fragment of life can always calm Lan Li's irritability. Whether as a reporter in the previous life or as an actor in this life, observing life is always a particularly interesting thing. For the time being, Lan Li can stop and capture other people's life.

The same behavior, if done in a coffee shop, is full of imagination and petty bourgeoisie, but if executed in a supermarket, the whole feeling is a little weird. However, everyone has some quirks. Perhaps, this is Lan Li’s own quirks, unexplainable quirks.

After wandering around two large circles, the cart was still empty, but Lan Li found her corner in the cleaning supplies counter, sat cross-legged in front of a large pile of Tide laundry detergent, and then took her bag from her bag. He took out the two books he had brought out, and simply flipped through the covers, laughing dumbfounded.

These two books are drawn out at random, one is "The Endless World"; the other is "Stonener", written by the late American writer John-Williams in 1965.

Such a combination, I really do not know how to describe it. The former is a pseudo-classical, which puts real and fictional characters in history together to construct a virtual thriller; the latter is a philosophical life, published for nearly half a century, and still has not been recognized by the world, but the facts The above is a wonderful and poetic popular literature.

After Matthew sorted it out, the bookshelves were arranged strictly in alphabetical order, so that Lan Li lost his judgment on the location of the books, and the combination of the two books he picked out was a little weird. However, this is also the meaning of Lan Li's "hands-on".

Putting the "Endless World" at hand for the time being, he began to read "Stoner", this book, he read it in a hurry, always thinking about reading it a second time, but he still couldn't start.

In my life before college, reading was an important part of my life, and I had to spare a few hours to read almost every day; but after I came to New York, my busy life squeezed my reading time.

On the bookshelf, Matthew regularly replenishes books for him, but he reads too little. Europeans always say that Americans read too little, have no background, and no sublimation. Now Lanli finally has an intuitive 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 and spy on a different world. In fact, every kind of art is like this, movies, music, paintings, operas, dances, etc., literature is no exception.

Without knowing it, Lanly 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 saw a figure. A petite girl wearing a peaked cap, because of the backlight, she can't see her facial features clearly, but she can faintly see the wrinkled cheeks, be careful, "Sorry, I'm really sorry." The girl lowered her voice and panicked. Said.

Lan Li was wearing earplugs and couldn't hear clearly, but the vague mouth shape could still be judged, "It's okay." He also lowered his voice in response, and then stretched out his hand to move the cart a bit, trying to move the entire passage as much as possible. All are emptied out to ensure smoothness.

The girl politely nodded her head and gestured, "Thank you." Then she pushed her full cart and walked forward slowly, but she was not in a hurry. Instead, she stood in front of the shelf and began to look at it slowly. It seems to be preparing to buy cleaning supplies.

Realizing that he might be blocking the shelf ~www.novelhall.com~, Lan Li stood up, took off his earplugs, and prepared to move away and go to the opposite side. This action made the girl even more apologetic, "It's okay, I just need a bucket of laundry detergent. It will be fine soon."

Lan Li did not speak, but smiled, and then sat down cross-legged on the opposite side, letting go of the laundry detergent shelf, then put on the earplugs again, opened the book, and continued to read.

Inadvertently, Lan Li saw a figure obliquely in front of her gaze: She also sat down cross-legged, with several different brands of laundry detergent in front of her, looking quietly, as if Looking at the matryoshka, trying to understand the mystery-except for the size (brand), they are all exactly the same.

The smile at the corner of Lan Li's mouth could not help but lifted slightly, then he squeezed the corner of his mouth, took off the earplugs, "Need a little help?"

"Oh, that would be great." The woman in front of her nodded of course, took off her earplugs, and raised her head. The next second, the woman couldn't help but was stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes; similarly, Lan Li was also stunned. He raised his eyebrows and did not hide his surprise. 8)
