After arranging everything, the sky was completely dark.
Simon said goodbye to Ron MacMillan and others in the parking lot, and was about to get in the car and leave when Sandra Bullock ran over again.
Feeling Simon's doubtful gaze, Sandra felt a little embarrassed, but she still said: "Simon, there is a carnival in West Hollywood tonight, do you want to come with us?"
Since it was Halloween, the streets outside the parking lot were already filled with all kinds of strange people, making it very lively. In fact, holiday festivities will be even bigger tonight at Los Angeles attractions like Universal Studios, Disneyland and more.
Although he has some memories, Simon still wants to experience Halloween activities in North America for himself.
However, facing Sandra's invitation, Simon hesitated.
Janet had suggested a few days ago that we all spend Halloween together. In order to prepare for the holiday, she simply did not come to the set today. At noon, she called Catherine and said she was too busy.
Now, both women are in his home.
Noticing Simon's hesitation, Sandra felt a little disappointed. Just when she was about to say that it didn't matter if she didn't have time, Simon said, "Okay, but Katherine and Jenny may also come together, okay?"
It seems that he really has a close relationship with those two women.
However, judging from the situation these days, this matter seems to be obvious.
The disappointment in her heart became more intense, but Sandra still smiled and nodded: "Of course, it will be more lively if we are together."
Simon gestured to the street next to him: "So, where?"
"It's the section of Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood. You can see it directly from here. I, um, I'll wait for you on Holloway Street, which is the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard heading west. There's a big parking lot on Holloway Street, you can park your car there then. How about nine o'clock?"
It was now past seven o'clock in the afternoon. Simon thought for a moment that two hours for dinner should be enough, so he nodded and agreed.
The two parted ways. Simon drove his SUV through the streets of downtown Santa Monica, where the crowd was gradually gathering, and returned to the Montana area. The houses on both sides of the road were all decorated with lights and colorful decorations today, and every household hung eye-catching banners. pumpkin lantern.
Arriving at the door of my home, there were two extra-large pumpkin lanterns with a height of one meter placed in front of the villa. They were like two weird house-building mythical beasts. There were also several beautiful strings hanging from the roadside to the door of the villa. small jack-o'-lantern.
Due to the festive decoration, Simon could not drive the car into the yard, so Simon had to park the SUV on the side of the road.
After getting off the car and walking to the door, Simon took a closer look and found that the two extra-large pumpkins at the door were actually real.
Suddenly I felt a little worried.
Such a big pumpkin, each one is estimated to weigh one to two hundred pounds. How to eat it? You can't throw it away, right
Prodigal bitch!
With this thought in his mind again, Simon opened the door and walked into the villa, with a faint scent of food floating in the air.
Hearing the noise, Janet immediately ran out of the kitchen, and Catherine also put her head out to say hello to Simon, but then shrank back, probably busy with something.
"Simon, wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."
Janet took Simon's men's bag like a little daughter-in-law, pushed him to sit down on the sofa in the living room, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and then ran back to the kitchen.
All right.
In the next month, I started drinking pumpkin soup.
Pumpkin seems to be quite durable.
Leaning on the sofa, Simon thought so and couldn't help but look around again.
The current villa is no longer as empty as it was at first, and is basically complete with all kinds of furniture and electrical appliances.
Simon naturally has no energy to arrange these.
A month ago, since she bought her first deck chair, Janet has been moving things around the villa like ants moving. Finally, she even got a set of spare keys and arranged them as loudly as the hostess. stand up.
Not just the living room, but the entire villa was basically cleaned up by women.
Moreover, under the pretext of creating the 'Butterfly Effect' themed mural of "Run Lola Run", Janet also arranged a studio for herself in the villa. When you are tired from painting, you must take a rest, so I arranged another bedroom. When she learned that Simon was going to compose the soundtrack for "Run Lola Run", the woman also transported the piano from her mansion in Malibu.
By now, the entire villa is basically filled with Janet's aura, even Simon himself. He is now burdened with a series of IOUs imposed by the woman. He doesn't know how much they are, but it is estimated to be at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Since she grew up in a wealthy family, Janet's criteria for choosing furniture and electrical appliances were those that were both right and expensive. Simon definitely doesn't have enough money to fill up a villa with a total of sixteen rooms.
Therefore, Janet issued an IOU every time she purchased a piece of furniture, and then she happily pestered Simon to have his fingerprints printed. The woman has now accumulated a thick stack of IOUs. She often shakes them proudly in her hand and looks at Simon with a look on her face.
As a man in two lifetimes, although Simon does not lack the desire to accumulate wealth, he will also be careful when necessary. But deep down, Simon's attitude towards money is actually very indifferent, so he just lets Janet do it.
As for Janet's thoughts, Simon is not a rookie who knows nothing about people, so he naturally knows it well. Although he is not ready to accept a relationship, Simon will not turn away a woman who is interested in him.
Simon has always felt that it is not easy for a person to meet a few people who are truly good to him in addition to his closest relatives.
When you encounter it, you must cherish it.
After sitting on the sofa and resting for a while, Simon got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Passing by the restaurant, Simon unexpectedly saw a very eye-catching roast turkey in the center of the table. He came to the kitchen, washed his hands, skillfully took the kitchen knife from Catherine's hand and cut the carrots, while saying: "Is there a mistake? It's not Thanksgiving, how can there be a turkey?"
Catherine handed over the task of chopping vegetables to Simon, walked to the side and opened a soup pot to look at it. She stirred it gently with a spoon and said with a smile: "I don't know, I must have made a mistake."
Janet took out a plate of apple pie from the oven while wearing thermal gloves, glanced at Simon, and said, "I like turkey, don't you?"
"Of course," Simon nodded immediately and said, "Also, do you like pumpkins? You can take away the two big ones outside the door later."
Janet shook her head simply: "I don't like it, that's for you to use in the winter."
"Forget it, I'm hibernating."
"I'll wake you up."
"I get up very angry and eat people when I first wake up."
"It's okay, I'll take Kate with me."
Catherine listened to the two bickering with a smile, and then said: "Why do you need to bring me with you? Don't you know how to bring a shotgun?"
"Yes, Kate is still smart."
Simon looked very hurt and said in Chinese: "Women have the most poisonous hearts."
Janet looked surprised: "Hey, what language is this?"
"Hebrew, right?" Catherine echoed: "I remember Simon said that he knew Hebrew."
"Hebrew is not like this," Janet shook her head, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I remembered, it was Chinese. I happened to hear it when my old man was discussing business with people a few years ago."
Catherine heard this and looked at Simon for confirmation.
Simon nodded in approval.
Janet immediately glanced at Simon again and said to Catherine: "Kate, I don't know how many interesting things are hidden in the little boy's head. Maybe we can take the time to dig out."
"No need to dig. In fact, I was captured by aliens when I was a child..."
"Nonsence."
"hehe."
"Okay, no more joking," Simon smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, and later we will go to West Hollywood to attend the carnival."
Janet was immediately dissatisfied and said: "But, I want to go to Universal Studios."
"It's too far, and it's a bit late. If you want to go, you can go earlier tomorrow afternoon," Simon advised: "Besides, Sandy and I have made an appointment, and she will wait for us there."
Hearing this, Janet became even more dissatisfied. She snorted and said, "Damn man, Kate and I are helping you prepare dinner at home, but you go off to hook up with other women."
Even so, after a lively dinner, Janet did not refuse to go to West Hollywood.
However, the three Halloween costumes prepared by the woman were temporarily changed.
It was originally a set of knight helmets, a set of princess costumes, and a set of witch costumes. It was self-evident which person they corresponded to.
Now, Catherine is a knight and Janet is still a princess. Simon put on a black robe and became a witch, oh, no, a wizard.
Santa Monica Boulevard starts in Hollywood, passes through West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, and ends at Santa Monica Beach, with a total length of more than 20 kilometers. Looking down on Los Angeles, Santa Monica Boulevard looks like a straw, with only an obvious turning point at the section where West Hollywood turns to Beverly Hills.
The three of them got ready, drove from the Montana area, detoured north from Sunset Boulevard to West Hollywood, and easily found the promised Holloway Street.
Sandra was already waiting outside a parking lot on Holloway Street. The girl was wearing a costume from "Run Lola Run" during the day, with red hair, a blue vest, green pants, and big leather shoes. She didn't need to dress up at all, just like a Halloween costume.
The Halloween activities had already begun. A few people just exchanged simple greetings and walked together to Santa Monica Boulevard not far ahead, and soon merged into the dense crowd.
Simon didn't know how many people had gathered in West Hollywood tonight. Looking around, he could see that there were all kinds of 'ghosts and monsters' everywhere in the middle of the road. On both sides of the guardrail, people without makeup who just came to watch were crowded together, making it extremely lively.
Before the rebirth, various festivals had become increasingly dull, either flocking to cannery-like tourist attractions, or busy with formulaic welcomes and send-offs.
At this time, among hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people celebrating, lights, people, cheers, laughter... Unknowingly, Simon once again experienced a long-lost and pure festive atmosphere.
