Chapter 149 Christmas Summer
The next day, after exercising early in the morning, Ryan started to get busy. Since Christmas is coming, how can I arrange it? Fortunately, it didn't take long for Antonia Kidman to find a Coolie, her current boyfriend.
Hello Ryan, I didn't expect to see you here.
The man who was shaking hands with Ryan was a young white man in his twenties, with a mild and humble attitude, but his profession was somewhat sensitive to Ryan, a reporter.
Hello, Mr. Claude, then... I'll leave it to you here.
Ryan was not polite to him at all, and pointed to the living room and the Christmas tree on the other side very simply.
no problem.
It's a good coolie. Ryan clapped his hands and sat on the sofa in the living room. Watching the jumping up and down by the two women, he couldn't help feeling like watching a stage play.
In the past Christmas, there were only Ryan and Nicole. They didn't care too much about this kind of thing. They just gave each other a small gift and had a fairly sumptuous Christmas Eve dinner.
Even, sometimes attend some dinner parties, busy with their work at hand.
The crowd will naturally be more lively. The Christmas tree as tall as one person stands in the living room, and the colorful lights flash with dazzling light. Under the tree, there are white snow dressed in cotton, and many gift boxes are buried in it.
Christmas in the northern hemisphere is often inseparable from snow and ice. Unfortunately, Sydney is in the early summer. If you want to see snowflakes... well, it's too difficult.
Even so, through the window, Ryan still saw a few Santa Clauses walking down the street, handing out presents to the children who came and went, just wearing red clothes, beards, and sweating like rain, really. It's a little weird.
Among them, there is an alternative Santa Claus wearing sunglasses, shorts and shirtless. Such a sight is indeed rare.
It's nothing, if you go to the beach now, you can see a lot of Santa Claus surfing. Claude introduced Ryan to some anecdotes about Australians celebrating Christmas.
In Australia, the best Christmas gift parents can give their children is a pair of water paddles. It is a custom to go surfing in the sea at Christmas. Many people choose to have a picnic on Christmas Eve. After eating and drinking, they will jump up and down. Disco or kangaroo dance, if you're tired, just lie down on the grass and fall asleep.
Christmas in summer is really special. Ryan was blowing the cold air of the air conditioner, feeling really strange.
For Ryan.
This is like celebrating the Spring Festival under the scorching sun. In the past life, when the Spring Festival was not in the cold winter, it was tested by ice and snow.
Okay, don't talk about it, the two of you, our dinner is about to start, hurry up and arrange it.
Antonia except her boyfriend. Some single men and women were also invited. Not many people came to the banquet, but there were always a few.
As the sun was getting lower and lower, the sound of the car rang in front of the house from time to time, and young men and women dressed beautifully walked into the lawn in front of the courtyard.
Among them are Antonia's friends, as well as Ni Ke's former acquaintances, but these guys are all bright when they see Ryan. Australia is one of Hollywood's dumping grounds, and it's clear his reputation has spread there.
The dinner was buffet style. The long dining table was full of food prepared by the Kidman sisters. Around the lawn, there were seven or eight small white tables scattered in an orderly manner. Soothing music was played on the record player on the other side. .
Ryan. This is your first time in Australia? Why didn't you come to Sydney when you had your premiere promotion? The question was from a young man, said to be Nicole's old neighbour.
It will definitely be in the future. Ryan was socializing. Over the past few years, he has developed quite good communication skills.
Hello. Ryan, I'm Nicole's classmate.
It was a blond woman who came over, and Ryan shook her hand lightly.
There were about seven or eight people, all young people, and many of them from the entertainment industry. These people gathered around Nicole or Ryan, inquiring about the situation in Hollywood.
This is normal. Australia is sparsely populated and has a limited entertainment market. After becoming famous, most Australian stars will choose the same path - going to Hollywood.
Ryan is also very clear about this. In his previous life, the Australian Gang was a very influential circle in Hollywood. Although they also had conflicts with each other, when faced with external pressure, they would unite and express the same voice, which should not be underestimated. .
Now in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman is one of the most famous Australian movie stars.
After finally dismissing a few people, Ryan didn't want to be a panda anymore, so he simply walked to Nicole's side and used her as a shield.
You and Annie's friends are so warm, Ryan said when Nicole looked over.
Mostly Anne's friends, I've been away from Australia for so long, I don't have many friends here.
Nicole stood by the grill, flipping the barbecue, and the sound of sizzling brought a seductive fragrance.
Not yet? Ryan was a little anxious.
Ryan, patience is a virtue.
Come on, Nicole, I'm hungry enough to eat a whole roast lamb.
Ryan took the fork and poked the roast lamb shank lightly, obviously really hungry.
Wow, should I be thanking God to eat barbecue meat made by Hollywood stars.
A young man came over, it was their neighbor, and Nicole snorted, Sorry, Paul, this is Ryan's dinner, if you want to eat it, do it yourself.
It's not fair...
Nicole didn't bother to pay attention to this guy anymore, put the barbecue in the tray, pulled Ryan to a small table, and sat down.
Don't pay attention to that guy. After so many years, he hasn't grown at all. Nicole said casually.
Um……
Ryan took the tray, sliced the roast into two plates, and pushed one of them in front of Nicole.
You've been busy, hurry up and eat some, he said.
The corners of Nicole's mouth were slightly raised, her eyes were bent, and she took a pair of knives and forks and two glasses of juice.
It was just quiet for a while when someone came over. This time it was the blond woman. It seemed that she and Nicole were acquaintances. After saying hello, they sat directly on another chair. Nicole could only put down the knife and fork.
Ryan can't help frowning, can't they let people finish dinner? Besides, the host here is Antonia Kidman, and strictly speaking, he and Nicole are the same guests.
Nicole, after the new year, I plan to go to Hollywood to develop. Can you give me some advice. The other party asked.
What a hassle! Ryan sighed, not intending to blend in, burying his head in eating his own barbecue.
My suggestion? Nicole seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally told the truth, It's better to make a name for yourself here, and then go to Hollywood. That way, there will be more opportunities.
The woman shook her head and continued, I've worked as a model, filmed TV shows, and participated in some shows. I don't know why, but I keep...
She made a helpless gesture.
Nicole knew that Hollywood was even more helpless. A newcomer who is not famous and has no support, it is not an ordinary difficulty to get ahead there. When she was filming The Sixth Sense, she was not only a household name in Australia, but she was also a number of female stars. Even so, if it wasn't for Ryan. its role. It's hard to say whether I can get that role or not.
Nicole, let's go to acting school together...
The two were talking in a low voice, and Ryan blinked, Nicole seemed a little helpless.
Well, I have your contact information, if there is a suitable role. I will recommend you.
Although Nicole said so, but according to Ryan's understanding of her, it was nothing more than a shirk. Seeing that the blonde woman was about to speak again. Ryan knocked on the empty plate, Nicole, I'm not full, cook a steak for me, okay?
Feel sorry.
After pushing the barbecue in front of her, Nicole got up and walked towards the grill.
Originally, Ryan and Nicole came to Australia to spend a quiet vacation. This banquet broke the peace, but it was a banquet called by Nicole's sister, and Ryan couldn't say anything.
The most famous TV host, most of Antonia's friends are from the same circle, and have a natural yearning for Hollywood...
The banquet continued very late, and several people invited Ryan and Nicole to the picnic dance at the end of the party, but they politely declined.
After being a panda for half the night, neither he nor Nicole wanted to continue to be watched.
Seeing the mess in the courtyard, Ryan had no choice but to pick up the tools and prepare to tidy up briefly. Apart from him, there are only two ladies here, and there must be some manly demeanor.
Okay, Ryan, don't clean, it's very late, you should go to rest. Nicole stopped him, Just ask the cleaning company to clean it tomorrow.
OK then.
Back in the room, Ryan had just taken a shower and just lay down on the bed when he heard a soft knock on the door, and then Nicole came in with a gift box in his hand.
Wow, is this a Christmas present? Nicole, why aren't you wearing a Santa suit? Ryan sat up.
Is there a beautiful Santa like me? She handed over the gift box.
what is this?
Asking, Ryan has quickly opened the gift box, a very simple gift, a lucky stone.
Good night, Ryan. Just as Nicole was about to leave, Ryan took out a box from under the pillow and handed it over, Wait, Nicole, this is my present for you.
Slowly opening the box, Nicole covered her mouth in disbelief. Inside was a fancy necklace, made of white gold, with a pendant inlaid with broken diamonds. Behind the pendant was a line of letters - Ryan Jenkins.
She had seen this necklace many times, and most of the time it was hung on the photo frame that belonged to her in Ryan's room, but she didn't expect that this necklace, which meant so much to him, was actually given to herself.
Ryan, this is the most precious gift I have ever received. Nicole decided to accept this gift without any hesitation, Will you put it on for me? (To be continued.
