"Well, young! It''s not young See Xiao Yao so naive than the height of the action, Betty helplessly turned a beautiful white eyes.


    "I still remember when you played the piano in the western restaurant and the keyboard on EVA''s show. I didn''t expect that besides playing the piano well, your guitar was also very good!" Betty went on to praise Xiao Yaodao.


    "Although the piano is known as the king of musical instruments, I think the guitar is the favorite instrument of young people." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "it''s just that it was too small in those years. No matter how small it was, it wasn''t suitable for playing guitar."


    "The favorite instrument of all young people, or yours?" It seems that every time we meet, Betty and Xiao Yao like to play the pun of young.


    "I think it belongs to all young people." Xiao Yao replied.


    "Why?" Asked Betty.


    "Because it''s convenient to act in front of girls." Xiao Yao said, "at least in the Chinese campus, a boy carrying a guitar to the girl''s dormitory building to play guitar singing, is a very popular way of love, the success rate is very high."


    "Really?" Betty is a little curious.


    "Of course," Xiao Yao shrugged with a smile, "but only if the boy plays the guitar well. If it sucks, it will be smashed away by all kinds of things thrown down by the girls in the dormitory building. "


    "Ha ha," said Betty with a smile, adding to Xiao Yao''s picture, "that scene must be very interesting."


    "But it must not be you." Betty went on, "if you tell the girl you love in this way, she can''t refuse. By the way, do you have a girlfriend? "


    "No This time, Xiao Yao did not hesitate and answered directly.


    saw Betty''s somewhat surprised eyes. Xiao Yao Tucao in his heart: "I am only seventeen. What makes everyone make complaints about my girlfriend?" Not to mention the few middle school students who fall in love in their previous life experience. Even in this world, there are not many people in the class who fall in love, less than one third of them. Don''t Chen Mingfei and Ma Peng still have no girlfriends? "


    After glancing at Xiao Yao, some band partners have packed up their musical instruments on the stage and are waiting for Xiao Yao. Betty thinks it''s not the time for a long talk, so she says to Xiao Yao, "nice to see you again. Come to my house this weekend. Keith was very curious about you at that time and always wanted to see you. It''s rare that you are in the United States and playing in a band. I think you two will have a lot to talk about. "


    "Your house?" Xiao Yao repeated in surprise.


    "Yes," Betty nodded. "My house is on Beverly Hills. Since you are an exchange student at Xiqiao middle school, you should live in Calabasas, right? Calabasas is not far from Beverly Hills. It''s less than an hour''s drive


    "Well, I''ll go." Xiao Yao agreed with a smile.


    After Betty and Xiao Yao exchanged their contact information, they said goodbye and left. Xiao Yao neatly packed his guitar and went back to the band members waiting for him.


    "That''s Betty bellette?" Seeing Xiao Yao back, Dean couldn''t help asking Xiao Yao first.


    "Yes." Xiao Yao nodded.


    "What did she say to you?" George also asked, "her husband is Keith Craig, the lead singer of daydream. Does she like your song and want to buy it for her husband?" Obviously, they had already had a discussion while they were waiting.


    "No, we just met again by accident and chatted casually." Xiao Yao shook his head.


    "Oh... What?" Dean nodded "Oh" first, and then responded. He then called, "meet again? You''ve known Betty bellette before? Why? When? "


    "I met him when I went to New York seven years ago. As for how I met him, it''s a long story. I''ll tell you later." Xiao Yao pointed to the packed instruments and said, "now we should put them back first, and then think about how to celebrate the success of our first performance."


    Hearing Xiao Yao say so, everyone''s joy for the success of the performance is more than Xiao Yao''s curiosity about how to know Betty Bailette. At the call of Xiao Yao, we put the packed instruments back into the instrument room and thought about how to celebrate.


    When it comes to celebration, the first thing that comes to mind is wine. When it comes to wine, Xiao Yao thinks that it''s better to be in China than in the United States. When he graduated from junior high school, he was almost drunk when he went to karaoke with a group of friends. But in the United States, the law not only stipulates that the legal minimum drinking age is 21 years old, but also forbids bars and shops and other places to sell alcohol to young people under the age of 21. Therefore, the band members who are too excited because of the success of the performance can''t buy wine for a while even if they want to drink illegally.


    Without wine, we can only use non-alcoholic drinks instead when we celebrate. For Xiao Yao, it doesn''t seem to be so enjoyable.


    After a passionate and exciting performance in the afternoon, Xiao Yao, who returned to Smith''s home after the celebration, had calmed down and felt tired.When he returns to his room and throws himself on the bed, Xiao Yao, who just wants to have a good sleep, fails to do so, because as soon as his front foot goes upstairs to his room, Dean''s back foot follows him.


    "Yang, I want to learn to write songs. Can you teach me?" Hearing the knock, Xiao Yao opened the door to let Dean in. He thought Dean was here to gossip about how he knew Betty, but he didn''t expect dean to ask for such a request.


    "Today, I feel that playing in a band and having my own music is the right way. So I thought, if you can write songs, why can''t I? " Dean said with a confident face.


    "Since you want to learn, I can certainly teach you some basic rules and methods," Xiao Yao said, looking at Dean. "But to create this kind of thing, it depends on your inspiration and talent. Whether you can write songs or not, or whether the songs you write are good or bad, it all depends on you."


    "Of course, I understand that." Dean nodded, "I didn''t think I could do it before, but now I want to try."


    "Well, in that case, come to my room and I''ll teach you. But don''t worry about it tonight. I''m tired and I need to rest now. " Xiao Yao nodded and agreed.


    "No problem, then I won''t disturb you." See Xiao Yao promise down, Dean simply get up to say goodbye.


    At breakfast the next day, Mrs. Smith, who knew that the performance was very successful, first apologized to the children for not being able to come to the scene to support them because of work, then congratulated the three young people and greatly praised them.


    Mrs. Smith''s congratulations and praise made them start a new day in a very happy mood. After arriving at the school, the band members obviously felt that their attitude towards them was completely different. It seems that they have become the star students in the whole school overnight. Wherever they go, students greet them warmly and praise their excellent performance yesterday.


    For the other members of the band, yesterday''s school day performance was a good influence on them, but for Xiao Yao, he still has some problems to solve.


    Because the rehearsal of the previous week was all in the evening, Xiao Yao''s part-time job in duomai supermarket was absent for several days. Xiao Yao explained the situation to his boss Mr. Johnson in advance and asked his colleagues to help him adjust the shift. Now that the performance is over, he has to spend more working hours this week to make up for what he owed before.


    The original working hours were from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m., while this week Xiao Yao''s working hours were from 7:00 to 10:30 p.m. Xiao Yao, who worked for the first time after ten o''clock, ran into an accident.


    After 10 p.m., there are few customers in the supermarket. This time is also the main time for tallyman to prepare for the next day''s sale.


    Pushing the supermarket shopping cart full of goods, Xiao Yao put the goods on the empty shelves one by one. It''s not difficult, but it''s boring.


    "Stop! Get them While Xiao Yao was squatting on the floor to load the goods on the bottom shelf, he suddenly heard a girl''s shout at the end of the aisle in the middle of the shelf.


    Xiao Yao turned his head and saw three black youths in their twenties running towards him with bags on their backs. And behind them, it seems that the one chasing them is... Kim?


    Xiao Yao stood up in amazement, just in front of the three black youths. A young black man with a headscarf in front of him saw Xiao Yao in the way. As he ran, he took out a knife from his pocket and waved it to Xiao Yao and said, "get out of the way!"


    Xiao Yao, who still had a look of amazement on his face, raised his hands, and then... A man leaned close to the shelf beside him, making way for the three black youths who had fled.


    The black youth at the head showed a little proud look. As a result, just as he ran out of the aisle, he was tripped by a supermarket shopping cart coming from the stab. Not only the knife in his hand fell off and flew out, but also he tripped the two companions behind him.


    Then, several tall supermarket employees ran over and subdued the three people who fell on the ground.


    "Kim, what''s going on?" A strong white employee in his thirties, who was the leader of the black youth, looked up and asked Kim. They all heard Kim''s cry and rushed over. He pushed the shopping cart that was blocking the road.


    "They''re thieves. They stole from the supermarket." Kim gasped. "I saw them shove things from the supermarket into their clothes and bags, so I called them. But when they saw me, they turned around and ran. I confirmed that they must have stolen something, so they ran and chased me


    "Well done!" The strong white man praised Jin, then said to some frightened female cashiers behind the cash register: "call the police and let the police handle it." Then he twisted the young black man''s arm behind him, pulled him up, and said to the young black man, "go, go to our lounge before the police come!"


    Watching several tall white colleagues take the thieves away, King finally relaxed after breathing. Then she thought of the scene that Xiao Yao, who had just stopped in front of several thieves in the passage, took the initiative to give way to the thief.I didn''t expect that this guy who looks very sunny and plays band very cool would take the initiative to give way to the thief when he met the thief. Jin glanced at Xiao Yao who had put his hands down and said angrily, "coward!"
