Life was more than poetry and distance. There were also people you didn't want to see but would see.

Hayley was lying on the bed, wearing only a bra and boxers. She had a cigarette in her mouth.

Juven quietly walked over, took the cigarette, and took a puff.

There was a vase of white roses on the bedside table. He stared at the vase for a while, then suddenly reached out, picked up the vase, and threw it against the wall on the other side, shattering it.

The water in the vase splashed half the wall and flowed onto the carpet.

Glass shards.

Messy flowers and petals.

Hayley began to laugh.

Then she laughed.

"I should have kept it for throwing," she said.

"You didn't eat anything," he said gently. "Let's go out and eat something."

"Okay." She sat up. "I'll change."

She chose a rose-purple floral skirt and put it on. Then she put on a Burberry trench coat and a pair of lambskin boots.

There were several fur coats and fur shawls in different fur hanging in the wardrobe.

Juven carefully poked the tips of the fur with his finger and frowned.

"I didn't buy those."

Juven sighed. "I know."

"I know you don't like this kind of fur products. I don't like it either. I'm not old enough to wear fur."

She reached out and touched his cheek. "It's cruel to take the lives of animals and make them into ornaments to please people. But on the other hand, 'everything that exists objectively in reality has a reason.' Behind a fur coat are the workers on the production line. If people don't buy, wear, or produce fur products, those workers might lose their jobs and starve."

He looked at her in surprise. "I thought you didn't understand these things."

"What are you talking about?

I just don't understand how people like that survive on a few hundred dollars a month. It's not like I don't understand the nature of the business model. "

"Did you learn it in school?"

"Partly.

Philosophy is very interesting. Some teachers teach very interesting things. "She put on light makeup, powder, and lipstick.

"Let's go."

He went downstairs and asked the maid to clean up the broken vase and walls in her room.

David Bashrov had already left.

Hayley snorted, "He's not allowed to come in in the future, unless he comes with Alexander."

Juven couldn't help but ask, "Who is Alexander?

Who is David? "

"Alexander is David's father.

As for David, he is Hari's good friend. "

With that said, Juven understood. Rich second-generation heirs like Hari also wanted to pursue Hayley.

"Alexander is Helen's boyfriend, but he has a wife, and Helen is unlikely to get married again."

Juven nodded in understanding.

A beautiful woman like Helen could get anything she wanted.

It was not strange for them to live in a bigger and more luxurious house than before. It was too normal, okay?

The two of them had an interrupted dinner at a nearby restaurant, and then went to a club. Juven's band, Aleka's.

Attic had a performance there.

Juven's eldest sister, Rain, was also in the band. She was one of the lead singers, and Juven was the guitarist and the other lead singer.

The children in Phoenix's family were very interesting. Juven and his youngest sister had blonde hair and blue eyes, and looked white. The three children in the middle had black hair and looked exotic. They didn't look white.

Juven looked quite like Djékun when he was a child, but as he grew up, he became more and more different.

From a fragile boy to a man, he became more and more beautiful, and he learned to hide his vulnerability.

In 1990, he cut his hair short to film "Dogfight". After more than a year, he grew his hair out again. Rock singers with long hair probably felt better.

Aleka's

Attic was an unknown new band, but they had signed a contract with a record company, probably because of Juven's popularity.

The band used to play in some clubs and bars in Los Angeles. In early 1991, they ran around some cities in California to find more performance opportunities.

Jones

and

the

Last

After "Crusade" was released, Juven, who played the young Indiana Jones, received more attention. He became one of the most popular young male actors. Many people came to see the band, but mainly to see him.

The stage had a magnifying effect. When the lights were on, even an ordinary person would feel like he was covered in stars, let alone the handsome Juven.

Juven, holding a guitar, gave the song he sang tonight to his girlfriend, Hayley.

Some people in the audience began to whistle and clap.

Hayley pretended that it was nothing, but she was secretly happy.

*

Late at night, Juven sent Hayley home.

Under the watchful eyes of the maid, he kissed her for a long time in the hall under the stairs and left reluctantly.

He asked the maid if Madam was back.

She was back and had fallen asleep.

She went back to her room to take a shower and called Juven. "Are you home?"

"Just arrived.

Why, did you miss me? "He asked with a smile.

"I've already started to miss you." She sighed. "Honeybear, do you miss me too?"

"I haven't even walked out of your house, but I've already started to miss you."

She really didn't want to be separated. She wanted to stick together 24 hours a day. She couldn't get enough of kissing.

The next day, Juven arrived before eight o 'clock.

"You're here too early." Hayley yawned and went downstairs with an eye mask on her forehead.

"I wanted to see you earlier." She was back in Los Angeles, so they didn't have a chance to have sex.

There were too many people in his house, and she couldn't stay over. If she wanted to have sex without any psychological burden, she could only go to a hotel.

Juven suddenly realized that they could go to a hotel!

After eating breakfast, he pulled her out of the house. They didn't go anywhere else but the Marmont Manor Hotel and booked a room one floor above Kinou.

Hayley thought he was looking for Kinou, but she didn't expect him to book a room.

She didn't say anything at the front desk until they went upstairs and entered the room. As soon as the door was closed, she glared at him. "What do you want?"

"I miss you." He approached her and smiled shyly. "Don't you miss me, Baby Bear?"

She glared at him again. "No."

"You really don't want to?" He lowered his head and quickly kissed her on the cheek, then again, and again.

"You're so annoying. You're as annoying as a puppy."

"Aren't I cute?" He mumbled and pressed her against the wall. First, he kissed her gently, then he kissed her more and more fiercely.

From her cheek to the tip of her nose, from her lips to her collarbone.

She let out a soft moan like a cat.

"Damn it!" His whole body pressed down on her, pressing against her body.

Her slender fingers hurriedly unbuckled his belt.

*

He carried her to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water. The two of them sat in it and the water overflowed.

He had a cigarette in his left hand and a glass of wine in his right.

"Honeybear," she said lazily.

"Hmm?" He hugged her from behind, brushed her blonde hair aside, and kissed her shoulder gently.

"You're so cute."

"I think I'm pretty cute too," he said proudly.

Then he said, "I don't have anything to do these few days. I'll pick you up in the morning. We can stay in the room for the whole day, no, half the night."

"Don't you have Christmas at your house?"

"Yes, we do.

By the way, do you want to come to my house for Christmas? "

"I don't know how Helen arranged it. Last year —" She remembered that she had spent Christmas with Isaac last year. It wasn't very interesting. Christmas was just that. Other than looking forward to Christmas presents, there was nothing else to write home about.

This year?

It seemed unlikely that she would spend Christmas with Alexander, so she would probably have a symbolic Christmas dinner with Helen at home.

"Or you can come to my house. I'll go back and ask Helen what arrangements she made."

Juven looked troubled. "I might not be able to leave. I'm the eldest son. I have to set a good example for my younger siblings."

"Aiya!" Hayley didn't see his expression. "That's terrible!

Can't you just live for yourself for a day? "

He smiled bitterly. "That won't do."

As the eldest son, he had been taught to have a sense of responsibility. He had to sacrifice for the family and for his younger siblings.

That was indeed what he had always done.

"You're just like Michael. The only difference is that he was abandoned by his mother. You weren't abandoned by your parents, but you're all the same. You're lost and in pain."

Juven didn't say anything.

"Kinou is really like Scott.

He might have a different background from Scott, but he was able to leave his mother and come to Los Angeles alone. It means that he knows what he wants. "

"How do you know everything?" He bit her shoulder gently.

"What about you?"

"Me?

I'm still young. We'll talk about it when I'm over 20. "She turned around with a smile and kissed him.

"You don't seem to have any worries. I'm so jealous of that."

It was at that time that she had run over and cried in his arms. In fact, it was mainly because of Helen, not because of money.

"Of course I have worries too. For example, what if I'm too popular?

What if too many people love me? "

"That's right." Juven sighed. "That's really annoying!" As her boyfriend, he was under a lot of pressure!

But because of that, he had a strong sense of vanity that allowed him to look down on those suitors. She loves me, not you or your money!

Hayley, who had never worried about money, really didn't care about the other party's wealth.
