Tang Qian spent the next time feeling "uneasy" until at 6:30 in the evening, his cell phone rang again.
"Hey, Don, I'm right outside the Toyota Sports Center. Have you packed up?"
"Uh, clean up? What else are you packing up? I'm still practicing, and besides, I'm only 6 now..." Before Tang Qian could finish, Taylor Swift shouted: "What? You're still practicing.
?You haven’t cleaned up yet??? Asshole!!! Go take a shower right away, and then change into the clothes you will wear for the music festival that day!!!”
"Isn't it just a Christmas? Is it necessary to make it so grand?" Tang Qian muttered to himself, but unexpectedly, Taylor caught him and yelled: "Tang, you'd better hurry up!
One thing, I have never liked waiting for others since I was a child! I will only give you half an hour, remember it is half an hour!" After saying that, Taylor Swift hung up the phone.
"Now, isn't it only 6:32? Didn't it say 7 o'clock in the beginning? Why did it change in the blink of an eye? Alas, women are women, it's really difficult!"
…
At 6:42, Tang Qian finished packing and walked out of the Toyota Sports Center. As soon as he came out, a bright red Maserati was particularly conspicuous. Even though the sky was already dark at the moment, Tang Qian still saw it at a glance.
"Um? Don, why are you so fast?" After Taylor finished speaking, he looked at his phone and said with a surprised look on his face.
"Aha? What's the problem? Didn't you tell me to move faster?" Tang Qian looked puzzled, thinking that this woman is really strange.
Unexpectedly, after Tang Qian finished speaking, Taylor actually put his little nose over and sniffed, and then said something that made Tang Qian extremely speechless: "Tang, tell me honestly, have you taken a shower?"
"Ah?" Tang Qian was speechless.
…
After leaving the El Segundo area and entering the bustling city of Los Angeles, night has completely fallen. Since today is Christmas Eve, most of the houses are decorated with lights and colorful decorations from top to bottom.
Various Christmas decorations. Christmas is definitely an extremely important holiday for the American people, but for the Chinese Tang Qian, it is dispensable. After all, his heart is still on the other side of the ocean.
"How's it going, Tang? This is your first time coming to the United States for Christmas. The atmosphere in Los Angeles is great, very festive." Taylor said to Tang Qian while driving through the bustling main streets of Los Angeles.
"Well, this is my first time celebrating Christmas." Tang Qian replied absentmindedly while looking at the feasting and feasting outside the window.
"Really? Have you never celebrated Christmas in China?" Taylor Swift said in surprise.
"That's not true, it's just that I'm old-fashioned." Tang Qian replied.
"Aha~ So you know it too~" Taylor Swift said.
"Why are you talking about this, Taylor? You are a big star and have as many friends as dogs. On this great holiday, if you don't go and have a good time with your friends, why are you asking me?"
"Do you think I have a lot of friends?" Taylor asked.
"Uh, isn't it?" Tang Qian said.
"Of course not." Taylor Swift said: "To tell you the truth, I have only had one real good friend in my life, and that is Selena. But today she has a date with Justin, so I can only
Looking for you."
"What? Aren't you willing yet?" Taylor Swift said with wide eyes.
"Uh, no, no, I'm honored." Tang Qian said innocently.
In fact, to be honest, Tang Qian is reluctant to come out. The first is that he wants to practice, the second is that he has no interest in Lao Shizi's Christmas Eve, and the third is that he is a little afraid of Taylor Swift. Because
He always felt that he was quite restricted and uncomfortable when he was with a top star.
Being friends with a top star was a scenario that Tang Qian might have fantasized about during his adolescence, but as he grew older, this unrealistic thought faded away.
It wasn't until I came to the United States and met Taylor Swift that this almost YY feeling emerged again.
"Where are we going?" Tang Qian asked.
"It's not far away. I have reserved three restaurants. Don, you can choose for yourself." Taylor Swift said.
"Three restaurants? Why do you have to book so many? Even if I were a basketball player, I couldn't eat so much, right?" Tang Qian said in surprise when he heard that Taylor booked three restaurants at once.
"Oh, you misunderstood Tang, because I don't know your taste, so I directly booked three restaurants to avoid having no place to dine." Taylor Swift replied casually.
"Ah? Isn't this too extravagant and wasteful for you?" Tang Qian said.
"What's so extravagant and wasteful? I paid half of the booking fee. If we didn't go, not only would they not have lost anything, but they would have made a lot of money. I can guarantee that such a good thing would happen every day."
"Okay, okay, you are a capitalist, I can't speak to you." Tang Qian went back to check Taylor Swift's personal information. As a top European and American singer who became famous in 2006, she was already sixteen or seventeen years old.
She made a lot of money. And Tang Qian still vaguely remembered that it seemed that in 2012, the woman sitting next to him topped the list of Forbes' youngest richest people, beating Justin Bieber and LeBron James.
Hana. Think about yourself, you are 18 years old, you have accomplished nothing, and the money you make every year is not even a fraction of what others make, so what qualifications do you have to criticize others?
"Capitalist? By the way, you are Chinese and China is a socialist country. No wonder you say this word." Taylor Swift turned around and asked: "Have you made your choice? A few pieces of torn paper
Is it necessary to watch it for so long?"
"Uh, wait a minute, you're driving too swaying, I can't see clearly."
"You are so troublesome!" Taylor Swift complained, but still slowed down the car.
Tang Qian looked at the leaflet in his hand and secretly cursed in his heart:
They say you are a little queen of country music and an American sweet girl. How did you get in touch with such a "ladies man"? Oh, I really can't believe the media propaganda!
“Gottsui? Japanese Okonomiyaki? Japanese food?”
&.Korean.BBQ?Korean BBQ?Korean food?”
Tang Qian had just finished reading two of them and immediately asked: "Taylor, do you usually eat this kind of thing?"
"No, but I am the host. When I treat you to a meal, of course I have to take care of your taste." Taylor Swift replied.
"Let me tell you, why do you like to eat this?"
"What? You don't even like it? This is the Oriental restaurant I Googled specifically." Seeing Tang Qian's face, Taylor quickly responded.
"Thank you, thank you for taking so much trouble, but I am Chinese, not Korean or Japanese." Tang Qian said with a wry smile.
"Ah? Isn't China in the East?" Taylor Swift said in surprise.
"China is in the East, but we Chinese all eat Chinese food and rarely eat Japanese or Korean food." Tang Qian knew that Taylor had put a lot of thought into it, so he was extra patient when explaining.
"Ah? I didn't know there was such a thing, damn it!" Taylor Swift discovered her "mistake" and said with a very annoyed expression.
"It's all my fault to that little girl Hannah, she was the one who told me that these oriental dishes taste very good! See if I don't take care of her when I get back!!!"
Looking at Taylor Swift's angry expression, Tang Qian couldn't help but smile: "Don't blame her. What she said is correct, but there is still a big difference between Oriental food and Chinese food."
"Don, I noticed that you seem to be very protective of Hannah? What, have you fallen in love with her?" Taylor seemed to have remembered something, and stepped on the accelerator with his right foot.
"What? No, it's nothing. I only have basketball in my mind. I won't think about this male-female matter for the time being." Tang Qian was knocked backwards and said immediately.
"Really? That's more like it! You have to know that as my personal assistant, you are not allowed to fall in love privately. If you find out, you will be fired immediately. There is no room for negotiation." Taylor Swift said with a serious face.
"Well, well, I understand." Tang Qian didn't know how to reply to this sentence, so he could only nod his head blankly.
Seeing Tang Qian's good attitude, Taylor's speed also slowed down, but the next second, she frowned and said, "Then what should I do? You don't like it, where should we go to eat?"
"I'm fine with that, as long as I don't eat Korean or Japanese food, just go to the places you usually go." Tang Qian said.
"That can only be like this, Tang, it's all my fault, my understanding of Chinese culture is too shallow."
Tang Qian listened and laughed out loud: "Actually, let alone you as an American, even I, a Chinese, can't understand Chinese culture."
"Really? Don't lie to me!"
"Really, I absolutely did not lie to you, beautiful lady."
"Okay then, let's go to Outback Steakhouse. The steaks at that restaurant are very good. I usually don't dare to go there."
"Don't you dare to go more? Why?" Tang Qian asked, "Is it because the things inside are particularly expensive?"
"That's not true." Taylor Swift shook her head and said, "The main thing is that the food in it is so delicious. I'm afraid that I will gain weight if I eat too much, which will affect my figure."
"Well, that's true. It's not easy for you to be a star." Tang Qian was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"But it doesn't matter today. It's Christmas Eve. It doesn't matter if you indulge yourself occasionally." Taylor Swift smiled and said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you then." Tang Qian said and felt "greedy" in his stomach. He has been in the United States for so long and has never tasted an authentic American meal. Last time he went there
Although there was a lot of food at the private party at the American Music Festival, most of it was light food. Moreover, Tang Qian basically didn't eat much during the whole show and spent most of his time and energy on it.
On talking and speaking.
So Tang Qian still has high expectations for this Outback.Steakhouse restaurant.
It was obvious that Taylor Swift was not lying. The people here were indeed very familiar with her. As soon as they saw her coming, they immediately ushered her in through the back door. It was obvious that the confidentiality measures in this restaurant were quite complete.
Los Angeles is called the City of Angels, and it’s not for nothing.
"How's it going, Don? Isn't the environment here pretty good?" Taylor said somewhat showily.
"Well, it's very good, but there are only two of us, so being in the VIP room is a bit..." Before Tang Qian finished speaking, Taylor Swift said with a smile: "Unless you want to make entertainment headlines tomorrow, you still have to
Put away your Eastern frugality."
"Uh, this, that's true." Tang Qian thought about Taylor Swift's identity and couldn't help but nodded and smiled bitterly.
"Miss Swift, are you doing as usual?" the well-proportioned male waiter asked Taylor respectfully.
"Well, that's right, but the steak may need to be a little cooked, because my friend is an Oriental." Taylor said familiarly.
"No problem. Orientals often come to our restaurant to dine. May I ask this gentleman, are you Japanese, Korean, or Chinese?"
"Chinese." Tang Qian said, but thought to himself: The division of labor in this restaurant is so detailed. It seems that Taylor has really good taste.
"Okay, please wait a moment. There are more customers today, but I won't keep you waiting for a long time." The male waiter withdrew after saying this.
Then just thirty seconds later, he knocked on the door again and walked in.
"This, so fast???" Tang Qian was a little confused.
Taylor Swift covered her mouth with a smile and said happily: "Of course not, Don, this is honey rye bread, it can be regarded as a pre-dinner snack. Oh, by the way, feel free to eat, this honey rye bread is in unlimited supply, no
There is an additional charge.”
"Uh, I get it." Tang Qian said with a little embarrassment.
After all, everything in the United States is still unfamiliar to him. Even though he has been in the United States for a while, except for the training gym and competition venues, he has hardly visited Los Angeles even once. So many things, he
It is indeed unclear and incomprehensible.
"Please take your time, please." After the waiter helped Tang Qian and Taylor arrange the items, he politely withdrew again.
"Don, this must be your first time eating an authentic American meal. Try this bread. Although it looks like it tastes like chocolate or coffee, in fact it has a rich honey flavor throughout." Taylor said with interest.
He enthusiastically recommended it to Tang Qian.
"Okay." Since the portion of bread was large, a knife and a steel fork were already placed on Tang Qian's plate. Tang Qian cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth. It was exactly what Taylor said.
A strong taste of honey instantly filled his mouth.
"Wow, that's great. There is an unlimited supply of such delicious bread?" Tang Qian asked very puzzledly. According to him, such a delicious piece of bread may not be available for twenty or thirty yuan in China, but in Los Angeles, the United States.
It is provided for free? And there is no limit? Is there any mistake?
"Lol~ Tang, you don't understand, right?" Taylor Swift said with a smile: "A person's belly is only so big. If you eat more of this kind of bread, how can you still have the stomach to eat real food later? You idiot.
~Haha~”
"Uh, no wonder it has to order food first and then serve bread, so that's the reason!" Tang Qian nodded, once again being "scorned" by Taylor Swift.
This restaurant is a bit like French food. It serves dishes one by one, so if you are full in advance, the remaining dishes that have not been served will automatically be transferred to other guests' tables. Although it looks a bit
I mean, be careful, but from a frugal standpoint, this restaurant's approach is very advisable.
About five minutes later, the waiter knocked on the door and walked in. Tang Qian glanced at it and saw two small plates, but they were both covered by large steel covers, so the guests didn't know it before the waiter took off the steel covers.
What's inside.
According to Taylor, sometimes restaurant owners will "get creative" and surprise their guests.
"American country soup, crispy mushrooms, please take your time." After saying that, the waiter closed the door again and left.
There weren't many things on the plate. Tang Qian roughly calculated that there were only about 10 small mushrooms. However, after thinking about the quality of this restaurant, Tang Qian felt relieved.
"Cauliflower and potatoes plus creamy sauce soup, Tang, this thing paired with crispy mushrooms is absolutely delicious." Taylor Swift said while eating.
Tang Qian also followed suit, imitating Taylor Swift's movements. He picked up a small mushroom and dipped it in the accompanying thick soup. As soon as he took his mouth, the small mushroom burst out with juice. This fresh foreign thing was completely
It aroused Tang Qian's interest and appetite.
The next dish was tomato and basil chicken noodles. Tang Qian tried it and found that it was extremely crispy and not at all like the noodles he had in mind.
After eating the tomato basil chicken noodles, Tang Qian asked with interest: "Taylor, what's the next dish?"
"What's the next dish?" Taylor thought for a moment and replied immediately: "If nothing unexpected happens, I remember it should be the charcoal grilled top-quality salmon steak."
"Charcoal-grilled top-quality salmon steak?" When Tang Qian heard the name, his eyes lit up and he said, "It sounds like a good dish."
"Haha, Don, don't be impatient, the really delicious food is yet to come." Taylor Swift said with great satisfaction.
“Slow roasted prime rib eye, please use it slowly~”
"Lobster tail in sauce, please use it slowly~"
"Puff pastry apple pie, please use it slowly~"
"Specially made onion bouquets, please use them slowly~"
“Classic steak, please use it slowly~”
"French onion soup, you two please eat slowly~"
"Champagne peach smoothie, please use it slowly~"
"Golden pineapple, please use it slowly~"
……………………
"Finally, finally finished? Oh my god, this is so filling and so delicious!" Even Tang Qian, who is used to eating Chinese dishes, had to nod his head in praise when faced with an authentic American meal.
"Lol, how about it, Don, now you know why I said I don't dare to come more?" Taylor Swift said.
"I completely understand. It's so delicious. If you eat it for a long time, you will definitely have excess calories." Tang Qian immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, now we should discuss where to go next." Taylor said.
"Next step? Is there a next step?" After Tang Qian finished speaking, he immediately realized that it was not good.
"What? Don, do you want to run away early like last time?" Taylor's tone turned into "low pressure" in the blink of an eye.
"No, no, our team won't have a game tomorrow anyway." Tang Qian replied immediately.
"That's more or less the same." Taylor said: "As my only male best friend now, you have nothing to do anyway, so what's wrong with coming out to accompany me? Besides, you are having dinner with me, a big star, do you still feel that way?
Are you so embarrassed?"
"Uh...Okay, okay, it's my honor to be your friend." Tang Qian thought for a while and replied.
"Don, don't always be honored. I, Taylor, never feel like a big star in front of my good friends."
"Ah, ah?" Tang Qian was stunned and thought to himself: Didn't you say just now that I was having dinner with a big star? Why did the next sentence become like this?
It seems that women, whether they are Eastern or Western, are essentially the same.
"okay, I get it."
"Don, what do you want to do next?" Taylor Swift asked again.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter to me. Los Angeles is very unfamiliar to me anyway. Everywhere I go is new." Tang Qian was not picky about food and answered honestly.
"Aha~ I knew you would be like this, forget it, luckily I had a plan." After speaking, Taylor took out his mobile phone, then tapped it lightly and said, "Let's go watch a movie, how about it?"
"Watching a movie? No problem." Tang Qian nodded in agreement. He had never been to a movie theater in the United States anyway, so it would be a good idea to try it today.
"Okay, let's go." Taylor called the waiter, and after paying the meal and tip, he took Tang Qian straight to the cinema in Los Angeles.
The two struggled for a while on the road, and finally chose the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. In fact, Taylor originally thought that the Ace Hotel Cinema was the best place because it was formerly the United Artists Theater and was in Spanish Gothic style. But when
Tang Qian heard that there was a movie theater named after a Chinese name here, and he immediately chose it without hesitation. Taylor knew that Tang Qian came to the United States alone, so he didn't hesitate much and quickly finalized the decision.
.
As before, Taylor entered through a private channel, and the Chinese Theater also takes care of celebrities who are inconvenient to be exposed. Private boxes are undoubtedly the first choice for people like Taylor.
As soon as he entered the venue, Tang Qian seemed to have remembered something, and quickly said to Taylor: "Taylor, can you wait a moment, I have to go to the bathroom."
"Okay, no problem, the bathroom is at the right corner of the bottom corner." Taylor said without noticing anything unusual about Tang Qian.
In fact, if Taylor Swift were Chinese, she would definitely know one word:
Urine escape is also.
PS: The Hollywood Chinese Theater changed its name to the Hollywood TCL Chinese Theater in 2013. However, the time and space of this article is still at the end of 2011, so the old name is still used.
