Hayley stood on the side of the road for a while until someone came out of the café across the road and stood in front of her.

"Hayley."

She looked at the person and blinked. "Who are you?"

"Derek, your neighbor."

She smiled. "Do you really think I don't remember your name?" She turned and went up the steps into the apartment lobby.

Derek followed her. "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

"No, I don't like coffee."

"There's a small party in our department tonight. Do you want to come?"

"No." The elevator stopped and the door opened. She went in.

"Ah!

You rejected me too quickly!

Can I ask why? "Derek followed her into the elevator.

"You said you wanted me to reject parties with bad intentions."

Derek could only smile. "I did say that.

Well, you've just arrived at Berkeley. Everything is still unfamiliar to you.

I think we'll get to know each other better soon.

Do you want to register tomorrow?

I can take you to the registration office. "

"No need.

There must be a senior in the Physics Department who will be willing to tell me where to register. "

Derek smiled and nodded. "I think so."

The trouble for beautiful girls was that everywhere they went, there would be people trying to use their masculine charm on them.

This problem was not obvious before puberty, but when they reached puberty, boys began to understand the sexual charm of girls, and this problem became more prominent.

From the age of 12, Hayley was the girl surrounded by boys.

Almost every class, boys would secretly give her notes, mostly inviting her to watch them train.

Boys always had a blind confidence that girls would not be able to refuse an invitation from a good athlete.

They might not understand the principle, but they instinctively thought that young boys who were sweating like rain would definitely win the favor of girls.

At that time, Hayley was not in the mood to deal with boys at all. She was panicking about the changes in her body, and Helen did not talk to her about it at all. In the end, it was the maid who came to teach her about hygiene and took her to buy menstrual products.

Juven Phoenix went to Venice with director Gus Van Sant. "My Own Idaho" was the film to be exhibited.

On September 3rd, the 48th Venice International Film Festival opened.

On September 4th, "My Own Idaho" was screened.

After that, they went to the Toronto International Film Festival, which opened on September 5, and the New York Film Festival, which opened on September 27.

Juven stayed in Venice for a week. After work, he went around and took a lot of photos. He even took a lot of Polaroid pictures.

After returning to Los Angeles, he would ride his motorcycle to Berkeley.

He didn't know where Hayley's class was, and she didn't pick up his call. He had no choice but to wait for her downstairs.

After waiting for a while, he felt that it was too silly to ride on a motorcycle. He turned around and saw a cafe across the street, so he decided to go in and sit down.

Hayley came back at 5 o 'clock.

Walking back with a few books in her hands, she didn't notice the motorcycle parked outside the apartment building. Just as she walked up the stairs and entered the apartment building, she heard someone calling her, "Hayley!"

Juven waved at her from across the road.

She went down the steps, and soon he crossed the road and stood in front of her.

He didn't say a word. He just smiled. Then, he hugged her waist and kissed her deeply.

The books and notebooks fell to the ground.

"Is school fun?" Juven asked casually as he held her books in one hand and pulled her into the lobby of the apartment building.

"How can school be 'fun'?

What about you?

Is Venice fun? "

"It's fun!

I learned how to drive a motorboat! "He was exhilarated." But it would be even better if you were here.

When can we go on vacation? "

"Didn't I go out to sea with you during the summer vacation?"

"That doesn't count!

You have to go back at night, so you can't have fun!

Do you want to go out to sea? "

"Let's go for Thanksgiving. I told my mom that I won't go back for Thanksgiving." They entered the elevator.

"Okay then.

I'll go borrow a yacht. We can go out for the whole weekend. "

When they got out of the elevator, they saw Derek again.

Derek smiled. "Hayley, Juven.

I'm going out for dinner. Do you want to come with me? "

"No, we'll go down later." Hayley lowered her head and looked for her keys in her small bag.

Derek nodded at Juven. "Then I'll go down first." He quickly entered the elevator.

Juven muttered, "Are you so close?

It's only five o 'clock. Why are you eating? "

"You know what men think about beautiful girls like me." Hayley opened the door. "Do you think I'll like that kind of man?"

Rui Fan replied, "Of course not!"

He was secretly delighted.

He did have a sense of crisis, but for a girl like Hayley, it could be said that the most reassuring thing about her was that she had high standards. Whether it was looks or intelligence, one had to be on the line. Sometimes, only when both were on the line would she take a second look at you.

Money was not what she was interested in.

Hayley closed the door, locked it, and hung the chain.

Juven watched her lock the door.

Very good. It had become a habit.

She took the books and notebook from him and put them on the table in the living room. "It's the weekend. I wanted to go to the school cafeteria for dinner and see if there are any fun parties."

"Have you started your classes?" He flipped through her textbook. It was a philosophy book.

"There are two classes in the morning and two in the afternoon.

I took the AP course, which can be used to replace the credits of several college basic courses. Then, I booked an elective course. It's not a lot. "

"How many days have I not seen you?"

"You do the math." She looked at him a little strangely.

"I'm asking if you missed me these days." He pulled her to sit on his lap.

"I didn't have time to miss you.

This week, I was busy familiarizing myself with the school environment, looking for classrooms, teachers, and classmates. "

"Did you meet new friends?" He was a little jealous.

"I met a few people. Friends." She shook her head. "Not really."

"I heard that the freshmen's party is very wild. Have you been there?"

Hayley laughed. "Will it be crazier than the parties in Hollywood?

I've seen how you guys play. Now, I haven't seen any parties other than the wilder ones. This kind of student party is not worth mentioning. "

Juven had to admit that she was right.

A typical party in Hollywood was an unlimited supply of alcoholic drinks, countless snow-skinned, big-breasted, long-legged beauties, a variety of contraband, noisy music, and blurred lights. It was a bizarre and extravagant extravagance.

It was difficult for people with weak self-control not to be assimilated.

He was a little uneasy. In fact, the reason why she broke up with him before was because she saw him taking drugs.

She was quite calm. She didn't scold him, and she didn't even use her usual little fists. She just said "break up", then got on the Beetles and left.

He was suddenly dumped, and the young boy's self-esteem was severely damaged. He was so angry that he swore that he would never apologize to her and never make it up to her. He immediately started dating Susanna and was very passionate.

Hayley looked at his face carefully. "What are you thinking?

Do you still get drunk often now? "

"I'm very restrained now."

He whispered a little guiltily. "Getting drunk and fighting won't happen again. I promise."

She snorted. "Remember what I said. Your face can't be punched."

He quickly tried to show off. "I didn't drink in Venice."

He didn't quit drinking, but ever since he got back together with Hayley, he was very careful not to drink in front of her. When he went to see her, he was also very careful not to let her know that he drank a lot the night before.

"I know it's not objective to ask you to quit drinking all of a sudden, but you have to know that I don't like it when you drink too much. It's okay to drink a little occasionally, but it's annoying when you're drunk." She looked at him. "You don't like it when I care too much about you, right?

You guys want to do whatever you want. You think that you're an adult and can do whatever you want. But in fact, you're still a child when you're 30 years old — "

Juven raised his hand to cover her mouth. "I'll quit drinking!

I'll quit drinking immediately! "

She pushed his hand away and glared at him. "Whether you quit drinking or not has nothing to do with me. Don't tell me."

She got up from his lap. "I need to change my clothes." Then she went into the bedroom.

Juven followed her. "I was thinking that I should leave some spare clothes with you. This way, I won't have no underwear to wear."

"You're so annoying!

Don't tell me about your affairs! "Hayley frowned, but she soon laughed.

Juven realized that he didn't have any underwear to change into that morning, so he could only wear jeans. He kept complaining that it was too uncomfortable for his legs. Later, he bought a box of underwear from the store.

She took off her T-shirt and jeans and changed into a dress.

He helped her to zip up the back of her dress. He pulled it up, but quickly pulled it down again. He carried her to the bed and kissed her back. Little by little, he kissed her from her back to the back of her neck, her ears, and finally her shoulders.

It was past 8 o 'clock when they went down for dinner.

Juven was starving. The two of them ordered enough food for three people, but they finished it all.

He was also quite restrained when it came to drinking. He only drank a glass of red wine even though he really wanted to drink a few more glasses.

When they returned to the apartment, Juven took out the photos.
