reborn in america

Perhaps because he was worried that Brett would be self-defeating, the host of the banquet, Carol, also walked onto the stage at this time, handed the forgetful Brett to the nearby York, then raised his glass and said to the audience: "Finally, for Cheers to our first cartoonist, Alessandro!"

Immediately there was another burst of cheers from the audience, forgetting the slight embarrassment caused by Bright's speech, and at the same time emphasizing Bright's purpose. I have to say that Carol is light-years behind Bright in terms of sophistication. .

"Now, let's get high!" As he said, he raised his hands, and the music started instantly, and the crowd began to cheer and twist to the rhythm.

Adam wanted to push forward to thank Brett and Carol, but after Brett was helped off the stage, he disappeared in the crowd. As for Carol, as the center of the party, the circle around the school shined the most A group of people, let alone go in and say a few words to them, it is difficult to get close.

Therefore, Adam could only shrug his shoulders and back away.There is no way, the hall where the demons danced wildly, and the loud music really gave him a splitting headache. Fortunately, the garden behind the mansion is much cleaner.

Adam found a place to sit down, his head was empty, and he was in a daze. He kind of missed the hard bed of Baker's house, but it was a pity that he couldn't get out without York's car.

"Hey, great cartoonist." This is a girl with black-rimmed glasses and blonde curly hair standing behind him and saying hello.

Adam glanced at her, searched the memory in his brain, and vaguely remembered that the other party seemed to be called Judy Bell, the cheerleader, and the younger sister of Carol's girlfriend Janice Bell. Although she also had the aura of the Bell family, but compared to As far as the radiant sister Zhen Nisi is concerned, she is much more low-key.

But a noble girl is a noble girl, and her low-keyness is only relatively speaking. Compared to other people, she is also a radiant and unattainable celebrity with a large number of fans. She is born in the middle class like Adam. Today's lower-class otaku is definitely a person of two worlds.

"Hey, hello! Judy." Even so, Adam greeted very politely.

"The banquet is terrible, isn't it!" Judy said with a smile as she sat down beside him with her skirt lightly pressed.

"It's okay, it's just that this is the first time I've attended this party, and I'm not used to it." Although Adam really didn't like this party, if he said something inappropriate to someone directly, it would be rude, so He could only change the subject and said, "What about you? Why did you come out? Maybe Zhen Nisi and the others are looking for you right now."

"Huh, Jenny? Don't be funny, I dare say she is dragging Carol around to show off at the moment, and she doesn't care where I go at all." Judy curled her lips and complained about her sister disdainfully: " but……"

"You misunderstood, maybe she is not what you think." Adam was a little speechless to this girl who was talking lightly, and quickly interrupted her, he was not interested in hearing the secrets of those wealthy families.You must know that the more you know, the more dangerous it is. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, the fact is that he enjoys the leisurely life now and does not want to disturb this new journey because of other things, so he can only reply with a haha .

"Hmph, you all look alike." Judy waved her hand, snorted disdainfully, and continued before Adam made an excuse: "Okay, let's not talk about her, just talk about your comics, Is what Brett said true?"

"Yes. It's just that it's not that good. It's just a magazine for new cartoonists to create an MV. If the response is not good, it may end in a month." Although Adam felt that he couldn't keep up with the other party's jumping Thinking, but still answered honestly.

"Ha, I like your honesty." Judy raised her finger and pointed to Adam's face, then tilted her head close to his cheek and said, "But in my opinion, it's already very good, at least better than those of us who are destined to rely on it." People with parents and family funds alive are much better."

"Judy, are you kidding? I don't know how many people are envious of you, and I just took a step forward, and there is no comparison with you at all." Adam quickly said politely, if this word spread , it is inevitable that there will be some gossip again, and it will not be good to end up with the image of a villain.

"The more glamorous the outside, the more dirty the inside may be." Judy turned her lips slightly, moving towards Adam's ears.

Although the other party is good-looking, has a distinguished status, and is a cheerleader sister who is coveted by countless boys, but as Adam who is on the wrong team, he would rather grab a man with the other party than make out with her.

So when the other party's lips were almost touching his ears, he tilted his head suddenly, then stood up awkwardly and said: "We have been out for a long time, why don't we go back, maybe they are looking for us at this moment Maybe."

Zhu Di glanced at him with great interest, and tugged at the dress that half covered her chest. It was turbulent for a while, and she nodded with a smile and said, "You're right, it just so happened that the night wind blows a little bit." Cool, let's go in."

After saying that, he stood up, and then took Adam's arm at a speed that Adam couldn't dodge, and the turbulent waves rushed to Adam's arm.It's a pity that Adam took a detour and didn't enjoy it, but felt a little uncomfortable.But it was embarrassing, Adam could only stiffen and let the other party lead him into the banquet hall.

I don't know if it was because of Brett and Carol's full introduction and adulation before, or because he suddenly behaved intimately with the second princess of Bell's family. This time when he entered the banquet hall, several men and women he was not familiar with suddenly approached. , chat and drink with him.

Adam didn't want to be rude at first, after all, it's rare to be noticed and welcomed by others, but after staying up for half an hour, answering a bunch of messy and embarrassing questions and being poured with countless cups of sweet, bitter and spicy wine, he was finally accepted. No, get out of the crowd on the grounds of going to the toilet.

At this time, Judy didn't know where to hide. Adam stopped the waiter and asked about the location of the lounge, and then walked upstairs with his head on his head. Finally, in a small study room in the right corner of the second floor, I found a place not yet occupied by wild mandarin ducks.

After looking around and making sure there was no one else, Adam took off his coat and threw it on the chair. With his right hand, he undid the first, second and third buttons of his shirt until he exposed half of his fair chest. Only then did he let out a long breath of relief.He hadn't worn much formal clothes in two lifetimes, this one really suffocated him.He sat softly on the wooden chair, took an unknown book from the table, and was about to read it boredly, but the smell of alcohol rose up, making him so confused that he couldn't read it at all, so he could only give up.

At this moment, the doorknob was suddenly moved, and Adam thought to himself, maybe another pair of wild mandarin ducks with no eyes broke in, so he gave up the place?Or find a place to hide, it's just too embarrassing.

Fortunately, the result was not, but he was very familiar with him. The host of the banquet, Carol Anderson, saw that he came in before Adam could speak, turned around and locked the door directly, which made Adam who had just stood up a little unaware Overwhelmed.

At this time, Carol was locking the door, and when he turned around, he saw Adam standing in front of the table, with a look of astonishment on his face, but he quickly covered up the astonishment, and raised his hand to greet him. Adam stood there stiffly and said hello: "Hey! I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."

"Well, it's a bit of a coincidence." Adam replied awkwardly.

Carol returned to his previous look, sat down on another chair next to him, shrugged, and said with a smile: "It's crazy. I have to rest and deal with them, so..."

"Of course, of course." Adam nodded and sat down too. The distance between the two of them was very close, and they could almost feel each other's breathing clearly. The strong smell of alcohol showed that the other party had indeed had a bad drink. With a little wine, Adam thought of what had happened before, and thanked him politely: "Thank you for what you just did for me, you know, it means a lot to me."

"Ha, that was Brett's idea." Carol turned his head and faced Adam's direction, making a small corner between their faces, and the closest distance was only the size of a fist, and even when he spoke, he smelled of alcohol. A small part passed Adam's face directly, and he said in a calm voice: "But you really surprised me."

"You know, I always thought you were a nerd before, but I didn't expect you to have such talent." He continued to speak, looking directly into Adam's eyes seriously, with an extremely sincere expression.

This touched Adam who was close at hand. I have to say that apart from his family background and appearance, his character is also very important for Carol to be so popular. Although Adam knew that he was habitually flattering, but the sincerity His tone is still touching.

Adam scratched his head in embarrassment, and said shyly, "I'm really flattered by your words. In fact, it's just my immature idea, but I'm honored to be adopted by the other party."

"No! I swear you are absolutely a genius in this area! I read your comics this afternoon, and they are much more interesting than those on the market. This is the first time in my life that I am looking forward to the development of the following plot." Carol Anderson continued to praise Adam with an exaggerated but sincere tone.

"Really? That's really my honor. If you're interested, I can briefly talk to you about the future development." Speaking of this, Adam suddenly remembered that it would be a bit embarrassing if the other party was just polite, or the plot Seeing through that seemed a little bad, so he immediately went on to say: "But maybe we shouldn't spoil it in advance, it would be much more interesting to read the comics by ourselves."

"No, no. I'm looking forward to your narration. I think it might be more interesting if you, the original author, tell the story." Carol said quickly, and even deliberately, in order to show the authenticity of his words, Adjust the position of the chair so that the two people are directly facing each other from the angle.

Seeing the sincerity of the other party, Adam also became very interested, after all, there is no author who does not welcome the pursuit of a fan, especially the other party is still synonymous with perfection in the eyes of everyone, so he suppressed his excitement and said: "Where do we start? you know……"

Adam talked about his well-conceived story with great interest. Although this comic is just a small test for him, and it is a superhero story that he thinks has nothing new, but in Adam's mouth, it is like a wonderful super blockbuster, saying When it came to passion, Adam even danced with his arms and legs.

I don't know how long it took, Adam finally stopped, looked at the interested Carol on the opposite seat, and suddenly regained his senses, thinking of his exaggerated performance just now because of excitement, his shame instantly exploded, and he almost wanted to Dig a hole and bury yourself.

He could only cough dryly, then sat down, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, that's it, it's not a big deal, and you'll know when you read the comics that will be published later."

Unexpectedly, at this moment Carol came closer. Before he could react, the two of them touched their lips. Adam, who had never expected this to happen, seemed to be struck by lightning, his eyes widened. , stunned on the spot, lost the ability to think for a while, and could only let his instincts act.
