The party lasted until after twelve o'clock, and it didn't end until after one o'clock, and everyone dispersed one after another.
Chang Sheng and Kate Gracie went to bed directly after returning to the room.
They both had a great time, but they were also very tired, so when they got back, they went to bed without saying anything.
Then at some unknown time in the middle of the night, Chang Sheng was woken up by the ringtone of his cell phone.
Drowsily asleep, he picked up his cell phone and looked at it, not knowing who was calling.
So he threw the phone back and didn't answer it!
It’s so annoying in the middle of the night!
As a result, the phone kept ringing, and kept ringing.
It beeped until it automatically cut off, then started beeping again.
Chang Sheng buried his head in pillows and quilts, but to no avail.
The cell phone ringtone is still ringing tenaciously and unyieldingly.
It seemed so harsh in this silent night.
In the end, Chang Sheng couldn't stand it anymore. He picked up the phone and yelled: "Who is it! It's the middle of the night!"
But there was a silver bell-like laughter from the other side: "I'm here to fulfill my promise - get up and pee, uncle!"
Changsheng's sleepiness subsided instantly, just like the ebbing tide.
He suddenly woke up.
"Avril?!"
※※※
Avril locked herself in the phone booth, holding the microphone of the public phone. When she heard the voice coming from the phone, she was full of surprise, and the corners of her mouth curled up again, making her lips curl up even more.
Outside, the streets of the small town were filled with lively crowds and fireworks blooming in the night sky.
The door of the phone booth was locked by Avril from the inside. The noise outside suddenly became much quieter.
She leaned against the glass door, looking at the lively crowd outside while holding the microphone with a smile.
"Merry Christmas, uncle!"
"Merry Christmas. Avril...what time is it over there?"
"After nine o'clock in the evening."
"Why do you sound so quiet? Aren't you all here for Christmas Eve?"
"I'm okay, I sneaked out to call you, uncle."
"Is this your phone number?"
"No, it's a public phone. So you don't need to remember it."
※※※
Chang Sheng looked at the watch on the bedside table and saw that it was only after three o'clock.
He should have only slept for two hours.
Despite this, he is not sleepy at all now.
Six months ago, Chang Sheng and Avril met because of an accidental fight.
Being able to meet a big star in the future. To say that Chang Sheng has no vanity would be false, and he is a bit proud anyway.
But that's all.
So after he separated from Avril, he rarely even thought about that girl.
Because he felt that it was unlikely that the two of them would meet again in the future. Even though Avril specifically asked for his phone number.
But has she had a fight in the past six months?
No.
So, don't think too much.
Unexpectedly, in the early morning hours of this Christmas, he heard Avril Lavigne's voice coming from the other side of the Atlantic.
The moment he heard this voice, all the memories of this summer in his heart were activated.
They fought side by side in the bar, and then were thrown out of the bar side by side.
They sat on the curb drinking and chatting together until they fell unconscious.
They went to China from Spain together and took her back to their home. They went to night markets, ate snacks, and went to various tourist attractions together.
Finally, they broke up at the airport.
She took away her backpack. He left behind a memory that was buried deep in his heart.
Now these memories are all coming back to me.
Only then did Chang Sheng realize that it was not that he would never think of that ghostly girl again. Rather, there were some things that did not need to be mentioned often, but were still impressive.
It's like being an old friend. The two of them may not need to call frequently to greet each other, but as soon as they pick up the phone, they will start chatting without any awkwardness or unfamiliarity.
Because the tacit understanding of old friends can overcome time and distance.
"What have you been doing in the past six months? How's your signing practice going?"
"It's great! Uncle! I'm practicing signing with both hands at the same time, but this is too difficult..."
Chang Sheng laughed loudly at the thought of signing with both hands at the same time: "This is a good idea! If there are too many people, you can do this! It will be very popular!"
"Do you think so too, uncle?" Avril's voice sounded a little happy.
"certainly!"
"Hehe! I think so too! When I use my special skill of signing with both hands at the same time, how many eyeballs will it attract! But they all think I'm joking..." At the end of the sentence, Avril Lavigne's voice felt a little aggrieved.
"It's okay, don't care about their opinions. Just do whatever you think is best. If you care about other people's opinions and live according to other people's requirements, is that still you?" Chang Sheng heard the emotion in Avril's voice and comforted her.
"Ha, if I follow their ideas, I can't wear eyeliner, dye my hair, dress properly, not be like boys, can't fight, can't drink... what am I?"
"She will be a good girl, but she will definitely not be Avril Lavigne." Chang Sheng said.
"Yeah, since I'm no longer me, what's the point? But they all want me to be the person they want me to be. Sometimes I really worry about whether I can hold on..."
Chang Sheng thought of the Avril Lavigne in the future. Her eyeliner and smoky makeup have become her trademarks. At first, she did it just as a sign of rebellion in adolescence.
But when she became famous, all of this became a trademark for fans to identify her. Even if she wanted to wash off her eyeliner, she couldn't do it because fans didn't recognize it and neither did the sponsors.
In the end, she still succumbed to other people's opinions.
"Don't worry, you can be whoever you want. No one can force you. If they don't like it, just let them die!" Chang Sheng comforted him.
This kind of comfort was in line with Avril's taste, and she was laughing so hard on the other end of the phone.
After finishing laughing, Avril asked Chang Sheng in turn: "What about you, uncle? I can't see any news from you here, how are you doing? I remember you said you would lead your team to upgrade. Now.
Woolen cloth?"
It’s no secret that Chang Sheng did tell Avril his story during the journey and then set his goals for the new season.
He didn't expect Avril to be thinking about him all the time.
"The situation is good, our team is now ranked first!"
Avril whistled over there: "Wow! So cool!"
※※※
Avril got tired of standing and slowly squatted down. In the end, she simply sat in the phone booth. The closed glass door gradually became covered with a layer of fog due to the temperature difference between inside and outside.
She took the microphone and continued chatting with Chang Sheng. Judging from her expression, the chat was quite happy. The people outside who were still watching the fireworks and celebrating Christmas Eve were also very happy, but they were obviously happy about something different.
In Getafe, Spain, Chang Sheng was lying on the bed, holding the phone to his ear with one hand, and then changed his posture.
When your left hand gets tired, turn over and switch to your right hand.
When both hands were tired, he lay down on his back. Then he turned his head and put the phone directly to his ear, just like this, he and Avril chatted on the phone across the Atlantic Ocean.
"I originally wanted to come to Spain to see you this Christmas. But something happened and I couldn't come."
"how?"
"I'm going to New York..."
Even if Chang Sheng didn't know much about Avril before, he should still know what this means.
It means that someone has taken a fancy to her talent and is finally going to officially embark on that path.
So he smiled and said: "Then I want to congratulate you!"
Avril doesn't know whether going to New York is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Is this something worthy of congratulations, uncle?"
"Of course! Compared with Kingston, New York is a much bigger stage. A big stage means more opportunities, of course... a big stage also means more dangers."
"I'm not afraid of danger!"
"So I want to congratulate you. If you want to be a star, this is the first step. Work hard in New York, Avril Lavigne."
"But I may not be able to come to Spain for a long time..." Avril was still hesitant.
Chang Sheng smiled: "If you can't come to Spain, it's the same as calling."
Avril over there was silent for a moment, then reluctantly said: "Okay--"
Seeing that she was not very willing, Chang Sheng was afraid that the other party would really not go to New York, and then he would have to change the future trajectory of a diva! He could change the trajectory of many people, but at that time, if he changed for the better, he could not forget
If you make bad changes, wouldn't that harm others?
He quickly comforted him: "Okay, okay, if you really want to see me, I can go to the United States to find you when I have a vacation."
Avril liked to hear this, and her voice rose once she heard it: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, I do what I say."
"That's great! I'm waiting for you. If you don't come, I will call you at this time every day and ask you to get up and pee! Hum! I am a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate!"
Chang Sheng smiled on the other end of the phone.
What a little kid...
And I actually seemed to be teasing a child...
"I'm sure, I always keep my word. I'll give you a call when the time comes."
※※※
After getting Chang Sheng's promise, Avril smiled sweetly. She slowly got up from the ground, and then said to Chang Sheng: "Then I'll write it down. I've run out of money... It's time for me to go back."
"Do it well, Avril. Merry Christmas." A voice with noise came from the other end of the phone.
"You too, uncle! Merry Christmas! Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Avril."
Avril hung up the phone, then opened the door of the phone booth, stepped on the snow, and walked slowly towards her home.
People on the street were smashing snowballs and watching fireworks, screaming and laughing.
But Avril didn't even look at it, as if this Christmas Eve had nothing to do with her.
With a satisfied smile on her face, she walked home by herself.
After seeing Avril Lavigne, her parents didn't seem anxious or surprised. They just asked, "Where have you been, Avril Lavigne?" Apparently they were used to Avril Lavigne disappearing without saying hello.
"Go out to watch the fireworks, they are so beautiful!" Avril said excitedly, and then she said to her parents, "I have decided, I want to go to New York!"
