Juven went to Berkeley almost every week. Sometimes he rode a motorcycle, and sometimes he borrowed Kinou's BMW or Little Robert's old Ford. The frequency was so high that people soon found out that the future Hollywood star had a girlfriend in Berkeley. People used to think that Hayley went to college, and it wouldn't take long for them to break up.

In the end, not only did they not break up, but Juven often went to see Hayley.

At the end of October, he was filming in San Francisco and Oakland with Robert Redford. He didn't appear much, so he was very free. Almost every day after work, he rode his motorcycle to Berkeley.

Hayley came to the city to find him on weekends, and the two of them walked through the streets of San Francisco.

San Francisco was basically a large Chinese city. There were many Chinese restaurants and fruit shops. Hayley liked to eat sweet Asian fruits. She basically didn't eat at night, but she could eat half a kilogram of lotus flower or jackfruit.

On November 21, Hayley's 18th birthday, Juven ordered a fruit mousse cake in San Francisco and drove to Berkeley.

He came too often, so Hayley gave him the apartment key so that when he came, he didn't have to wait downstairs.

It was still early, and Hayley was still in class.

He tidied up the fridge, put the cake in the box, and took out orange juice from the compartment on the fridge door. He found a glass, poured a glass of orange juice, and drank it.

Then he opened the cupboard above the kitchen, took out the red wine he bought a few days ago, and washed two red wine glasses. He found some scented candles in the bedroom, put down the folding table, spread a tablecloth, and put a few scented candles on it. He found a small vase, trimmed the yellow roses he brought to the right length, and put them in the vase.

He put them in the middle of the table.

He checked it. Well, it was good.

He went to the bedroom and fiddled with it.

He looked at the time. Well, it was almost time to cook.

The food in the fridge was basically bought by him. Hayley didn't know how to buy ingredients at all. Even if you told her that the ingredients were taken from some animal parts and were incomparably fresh and tender, she wouldn't know what was so good about them. The standard for judging food was: Was it delicious? Did she like it?

While preparing the preliminary work and cooking the ingredients, he thought of Kinou.

Men generally liked good food. No one would eat dark cuisine when they could eat delicious food. He got along well with Kinou. Other than admiring each other's appearance, they liked to play together and eat good food together.

He had learned to prepare lunch boxes for his younger siblings when he was very young. After years of diligent practice, his culinary skills were now quite good.

A negative example was Kinou. He was an expert in the world of dark cuisine. Juven would never dare to let him cook anything. Trying him once was enough.

Hayley only knew how to taste and knew nothing about the kitchen. It was said that she had recently learned how to wash dishes, which was a big improvement.

September 27th was the New York premiere of "My Own Idaho" at the New York Film Festival.

Hayley accompanied him on the evening flight to New York on the 26th.

His "airplane phobia" miraculously disappeared. During the entire flight, he held Hayley's hand and talked to her in the middle of the night. It wasn't until the second half of the flight that he fell asleep in a daze.

After getting off the plane, he went straight to the hotel he had booked. After sleeping for less than three hours, he was woken up by Kinou and dragged to the film festival. He was busy until noon, when he was dragged to lunch by director Gus Van Sant.

Hayley followed him all the way. She looked really cute when she was sleep-deprived and always yawning. Kinou called her a "baby bear," which immediately became Juven's pet name for her.

It was good to win the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival. Now, Juven and Kinou were the most promising actors of the new generation in the United States. People were fighting to get to know them and please them.

They stayed in New York for three days and went to parties every night. They played from party to party until 2 am.

Both Rui Fan and Keanu loved to drink, and could be said to be good drinking buddies.

Juven forgot that Hayley didn't like him drunk. The first night, he drank with Kinou until he was dead drunk.

Hayley didn't say anything at that time. After the party, she called a taxi for them, got them into the car and went back to the hotel.

When they arrived at Kinou's room, she asked them to sit down and started to flip out.

"What did I say?

I don't like you drunk. No, I hate it when you're drunk!

It's okay to drink a little, but if you drink too much, it means you have no self-control!

People who have no self-control are sad.

You too, Kinou. "She glared at Kinou." I really don't understand why you guys can't drink enough! "

"Baby bear, don't be angry." Rui Fan had a pitiful look on his face.

Keanu kept giggling.

"What are you laughing at?"

Hayley scolded angrily. "I shouldn't have brought you guys back. I should've let you sleep anywhere. When you wake up tomorrow, you'll find that you've been stripped naked."

Kinou laughed again. "That won't happen, baby bear."

In the end, Juven told Kinou seriously that he couldn't call Hayley "baby bear" because only he could call her that.

Kinou also argued with him seriously. He was the one who said "baby bear" first, so of course he could call her that.

Hayley was furious. She left the two of them alone and left on her own.

Kinou went back to bed in a daze. Juven slept for a while on the sofa. He felt that something was wrong and quickly went back to his room. After knocking for a long time, Hayley came down to open the door for him.

The next day, Juven was busy coaxing Hayley the whole day. When they went to the party at night, he was very careful and didn't drink too much.

Hayley also drank. If she didn't drink, Juven wouldn't drink anymore.

This was fair and reasonable.

Juven didn't drink much. Kinou was bored drinking alone, so he restrained himself.

Being criticized by an underage girl for having no self-control wasn't a good experience. When he woke up in the morning, he was a little embarrassed. When he saw Hayley again, he was a little embarrassed.

Hayley seemed to have forgotten that she had scolded them last night. She still treated him like before.

Some girls came to hit on them. Even if they knew that Hayley was Juven's girlfriend, they still flirted with him and left him their phone numbers or hotel room numbers. They didn't care about Hayley at all.

Kinou was very curious. He asked her, "Aren't you angry?

You lost your temper because he was drunk, and other girls hit on him. Aren't you angry? "Didn't girls care about this kind of thing?

"That's different."

"What's different?"

"He was drunk. He took the initiative. If other girls want to sleep with him, it depends on whether he will take action.

When he really slept with other girls, I will decide whether to be angry or not. "This kind of thing couldn't be prevented. She didn't want to be wary of her boyfriend's chastity all day.

In fact, she hadn't thought about this before.

The two of them were in love. Except for each other, they couldn't think of anything else.

Kinou was a little surprised by her answer.

But was she really aloof, or was she pretending to trust Juven?

He didn't have a fixed girlfriend anyway. It wasn't a big deal to bring a girl back to the hotel at night.

It was better to be a person with more freedom.

Hayley came back at 5: 30 PM.

She shouted as soon as she entered the house, "Juven, where are you?"

He came out of the kitchen. "Babybear, I'm here."

She put her bag on the floor. "I thought you would be late."

The two of them hugged and kissed for a long time until Juven remembered that he was cooking. He ran back to the kitchen and turned off the oven.

Hayley followed him in and hugged his waist from behind. "You don't have to cook for me all the time. I wanted to go out for dinner with you."

"You don't like it?"

"I like it very much, but you really don't have to do this to please me."

“Silly。

This is not 'please'. It means' I love you. '"

The birthday dinner lasted for a long time.

They hadn't seen each other for a day, but he felt that he had endless things to talk about.

They talked about what happened on the set. The other actors were all older than him. Some of them were good to him, while others were just average.

There was also competition between actors, especially those of the same age. Especially during the audition, before the casting director and producer decided on the actors, everyone would do their best. There would also be a lot of activity between the agents. Most of the time, acting wasn't the only consideration. Once the contract was signed, the competitive atmosphere would disappear and everyone would be on good terms again.

It was common to steal a role, but there were many scripts to choose from. Most of the time, there was no need to hold a grudge against the other party. Who knew if the other party would steal the role next time. Except for some limited commercial blockbusters, it was hard to know which movie would have a significant impact on one's career. For example, "My Own Idaho" was rejected by others before it landed in his hands.

His agent didn't want him to play a gigolo, so he didn't even show him the script. It was Kinou who came to him to show him the script.

He originally wanted to play Scott, but Gus had already given the role of Scott to Kinou. Gus persuaded him to take the role of Mike. The role of Mike brought him universal praise and good reviews from film critics, so his agent finally stopped criticizing him.
