"Maybe." He grinned. "Is it male or female? I forgot what to look for. Let's find him a mate, and there might be baby lizards in a few months."

"No!" Summer said disgustedly, "If I forget to feed them, maybe Red will eat its babies."

He laughed again, "You always think differently from other girls. Is school starting next week? What grade is it?"

"Tenth grade."

"School is really boring." He leaned lazily on the sofa, "Ilmelin said you have to go to school and work again, and you are too tired. Do you like going to school?"

"Not much. But I'm too young to be out of school now."

"Or you could consider homeschooling. I've heard that some kids at school treat you badly and bully you all the time."

"It's nothing but envy and envy. They envy me for working with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt." She was putting it lightly, but that's what it is, Leon Nadeau is clear.

The world of children is not as innocent and pure as adults imagine. They forget what it was like when they were teenagers in the second year of middle school. The parents of the bully don’t think their child is a bear child, and the parents of the bullied think that their child is in school. All is well until a kid is so desperate that he brings a gun to school and starts killing people, and no one realizes that what should be a happy place is a mess, and the school either doesn't know about it, or knows it and can't manage it or Worse, unwilling to manage.

As a child actor, because of his appearance on the small screen and the big screen, he will actually be a target for bullies in schools. stars.

As a boy, Leonardo was able to resist these things in school, and of course he was not doing well, so he left the school whenever he had a chance, and never thought about going back.

Summer looks set to graduate high school, but she doesn't have to go to school to stay.

He touched the end of her hair carefully, and quickly withdrew his hand, "Don't force yourself, you have to live happily, that's very important."

"'Happiness' is also relative. Like, do you like your life right now?"

"It's okay. I can do the job I want, play different characters, and get paid a lot for it. I like it. How about you?"

"I would also like."

Susannah brought them raisins and orange juice.

"Thank you, Susanna." Leonardo thanked obediently, understanding Susanna's eyes, "You should go."

"thanks Mom."

"I'll come to play with you next time." Leonardo stuffed a few grapes into his mouth and said vaguely, "I hope Suzanne will allow me to take you out to play next time. It's just me. Let's go to the pet store. what do you think?"

"Okay. I'll tell Suzanne, she can't keep me at home all the time."

The next time, they brought back a green lizard from the pet store, but it wasn't a bearded dragon.

Suzanne and Dennis have no problem with the pet Leonardo bought for his daughter.Lizards are actually very good pets. They are not dirty, eat less, and do not smell very bad.When she was a child, Summer raised a few ducklings. She didn't care much about raising and caring for pets, nor did she like pets very much.The children's attitude towards pets is a manifestation of empathy. Suzanne once felt that Summer was too indifferent to everything after his illness, too sensible, too self-disciplined, and even a little rusty to their parents, but fortunately not.

The Brooke couple had a good impression of Leonardo. As the eldest of the friends, although he has the boy's common problem of being too playful, every time he takes Sam out to play, he can take good care of her and take her with him. Go out and send it back.

Not bad for an 18 year old boy, can't ask for much.

Besides, Leonardo has grown up in recent years and is a very beautiful boy. People will always be tolerant of beautiful people, without exception.

Dennis was a little worried recently, whether Leonardo had any bad intentions for his good daughter, Susanna said, you think too much, Summer is only 12 years old, Leonardo has no idea about her at all, he What he likes now is a woman who is a few years older and more mature. Summer is too young for him.Dennis felt a little relieved.

By September, the "Interview with the Vampire" trailer had a small run on some nightly shows and a limited test run, and audiences responded with "too much blood and violence" that Neil Jordan didn't think he had yet. Finally, after the production was completed, he worked in the editing studio for another month, adjusted the sequence of some shots and the length of the film, and finally provided the film with a length of 9 minutes, which was released on November 122, 1993. Set for November 11.

At the end of October, the two leading actors and the main supporting roles Summer Brook and Antonio Banderas started the pre-publicity, newspaper and magazine interviews, TV program interviews and so on.

On October 10, before Halloween, Leonardo and Toby came to pick Summer up to watch the latest release of "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

On October 10, River Phoenix, another high-profile supporting actor in "Interview with the Vampire", just returned to Los Angeles after finishing the filming of "Dark Blood" in New Mexico.

On October 10st, it was Sunday, and she was getting up in the morning to prepare clothes for the evening event.Neil Jordan gave her three of Claudia's costume dresses, and she chose a dark green Victorian dress with gold thread embroidery, ready to wear it out at night, going out to play with the neighbor's children "no Trick or Treat."

It wasn't until 10 o'clock in the morning that Summer went downstairs, only to see that the TV station was broadcasting the breaking news in the early morning of this morning: River Phoenix died suddenly outside Johnny Depp's nightclub "The Viper Room".

She was taken aback.

Dennis was talking to Suzanne about the cause of Rui Fan's death, and that the media were speculating that he died of an overdose of drugs. Apart from music and alcohol, the nightclub was also a place where all kinds of contraband were traded intensively.Before this, Rui Fan was well-known as a vegetarian and an environmental protection guard in addition to his status as a "movie star". People didn't realize that he also had an unknown side, which was not what he was presented to the audience on the surface pure.

Suzanne then said that the atmosphere in Hollywood is extremely bad. Many people have drug addiction problems. Many stars have been in and out of drug rehabilitation institutions all year round. There are also many child stars who are also infected with bad habits. The most famous recent example is Drew Barrymore.Now 18 and a half years old, the Barrymore princess is already a regular visitor to the drug rehab center, the kind of news that the tabloids love.

Dennis was worried, "Honey, you must be careful. I don't want you to be in the newspaper because of this kind of thing."

"I won't." Summer turned off the TV, feeling very regretful in his heart, "I've heard a little about Rui Fan, he should be the kind of person who wants to 'seek common ground' with this, if your All your friends do drugs, and if you don’t, you’re like an outlier. To show that you’re not an outlier, you have to force yourself to do things to please others.”

She frowned, "He's so stupid! He's already one of the most promising young stars in Hollywood, and he has to be surrounded by others to curry favor with him and flatter him. He can play with whoever he wants, and he I don’t want to take anyone to play, and no one else will take that person to play. As long as he lives well and continues to make movies, he will definitely become a big star like Tom Cruise in the future, or at least he will never be better than his good friend Keanu Reeves. Where is Sicha?"

Dennis was very pleased, "My little Xia Tian is so smart!"

Leonardo was talking about it with Toby and Lucas at this time.

He also went out to play last night, first went to a nightclub, and passed River Phoenix at the door, but they didn't know each other before, so they didn't talk to each other.Rui Fan took his younger sister Ryan and younger brother Jacques to Johnny Depp's nightclub in a hurry. Johnny just bought this nightclub after filming "A Different Sky". It has been renovated and renamed, and it has only opened for 3 years. One of the hottest nightclubs in Hollywood right now.

Leonardo would have liked to go to TheViperRoom too, but at the last nightclub he got smitten with a blonde girl with long legs, danced with her until 2am, then sent her home and stayed at her house One night, I didn't know about it from the TV news until the morning.

He said that Rui Fan's sudden death had probably been foreshadowed a long time ago, when the two of them passed each other, Rui Fan's face was frighteningly pale.Make sure again and again that you must never touch drugs, and warn your friends never to try drugs.

"Think about it, you managed to make it from a child star, and now you are a famous star, but you died of 100 yuan of drugs. Is it worth it?" Mess.

Toby was also frightened by this incident, "I definitely won't. If I dare to get involved in this, Wendy will beat me to death immediately."

Lucas' face was also very pale, "I swear, I will never die from drugs." As a well-known child actor, he had met Rui Fan before, more than once.The sudden death of someone you know can really have a huge impact and change your view of the world.

TheViperRoom announced its closure on that day, and for many years after that, it will be closed on October 10 every year to commemorate Rui Fan.

That night, Lucas took his younger brothers out to "trick or treat" absent-mindedly.Toby didn't go to his father's house, but stayed at home with his mother, stepfather, and half-brother who was just 2 years old.

Leonardo didn't go to any nightclubs or parties, but came to Brooke's house and took Summer to "trick or treat".

"You don't have makeup on, why don't you put on makeup?" Summer had already changed into a dark green dress of a vampire loli, with a snow-white complexion and vampire dentures.

"I don't like dragging. Well, the point is as long as you can have fun. There will be nasty kids grabbing other kids' candy, and you don't have to worry about that when I'm here."

"I thought you were going to some Halloween party out there."

"I don't really want to go."

"Should no one cancel the party?"

Leonardo sneered, "Of course not. It's just that an 'insignificant' person died, and it's far from the end of the world. Nothing can stop those people from partying all night. And even if it's the end of the world, probably They'll be crazier."

That's right!

He took Summer by the hand and took her out. She wasn't in a very high spirits. Compared with previous years, she was obviously not very happy, but it fit her appearance of a cold, blood-sucking loli.Two hours later, he sent her home.
