Chapter 191

"People are more important than things?" Jin repeated, then looked at Xiao Yao and said, "what do you mean?"

"It's very simple. They were just stealing in the supermarket that day, and they didn't want to hurt anyone." Xiao Yao explained, "old Robert's supermarket has been insured. The insurance company will pay for the theft and property loss of the supermarket, so I don't think it's necessary to conflict with those street thugs who rush to jump the wall for a few goods, so I choose to get out of the way. You know, this is the United States. Who knows if those street thugs have guns besides knives? "

"Then why are you not afraid that they will have guns on them tonight?" Kim then asked.

"A few days ago, they were caught by colleagues in the supermarket and handed over to the police? If they have guns, how can they be handed over to the police by colleagues in the supermarket so easily? " Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"You really don't know how to coax girls. I guess you don't have a girlfriend." Kim rolled his eyes.

Xiao Yao was a little stunned, then understood the meaning of the golden words, and then continued with a smile: "but tonight they obviously want to hurt you, but the insurance company can't compensate for the personal injury. If you don't stand up and stop them, no matter whether the police can catch them in the future, they can't make up for the damage to you."

"I agree with you in the second half of the paragraph, and thank you very much for saving me tonight, but I still can't agree with the reason why you said you behaved in the supermarket." Jin shook his head and said, "as long as you don't hurt people, you don't care? If that's what you think, isn't the world full of thieves and robbers? "

"I can only say that I'm glad that not everyone in the world thinks the same way as me." Xiao Yao shrugged indifferently, "at least you are not."

"Are you laughing at me for asking for trouble?" Jin tilted his head and squinted at Xiao Yao.

"No, I admire your courage. I mean it." Xiao Yao shook his head.

"I think you must be the child of a rich family. Only those who are not short of money will not value property. " Jin also analyzed, "can you ask what you do in Huaxia's home?"

"My father is a musician and my mother is an actor. You can guess that my family is really rich. Going to the supermarket part-time is just to experience the life of ordinary American middle school students. " Xiao Yao gives Jin a thumbs up.

"It turns out that you are still a second generation star. No wonder you play guitar so well and sing very well. Your father taught you all that, right?" Jin suddenly said.

"How do you know? I remember when you came to the warehouse to pick up things that day, didn't you seem to have a few minutes in total? I don't think you saw me playing the guitar Xiao Yao has some strange ways.

"Oh, I secretly went back to listen to it later and hid in the corner, so you didn't find it." Kim laughs.

"I see," Xiao Yao nodded. "Yes, I've been learning music with my father since I was a child."

"And you?" Xiao Yao also asked Jin, "what do you do at home? By the way, my full name is Yang Xiao, and my Chinese name is Xiao Yao. I only know that everyone calls you Jin, but I don't know your full name yet. "

"My name is Kimberly chow. People in the shop used to call me Kimberly. My Chinese name is Zhou Jingyi. My father is a car salesman and my mother is a real estate agent. They are all ordinary people. My family is in Connecticut. I've loved dancing since I was a child. I came to California alone to pursue my dream of dancing. " Jin, that is, Zhou Jingyi.

"Those who persist in their dreams and have been working hard for them are respectable. I respect you." Xiao Yao raises the beer bottle in his hand to Zhou Jingyi. After a sip of beer, Xiao Yao asked curiously, "but why are you here? To pursue your dance dream, shouldn't you go to New York or Los Angeles? "

"Because the Shulman dance school here is the closest school to Los Angeles that I can enter." Zhou Jingyi laughs at herself and drinks the beer in her hand. Her whole body has unconsciously retracted into the single sofa she is sitting on.

"I have four children in my family. My parents have to work hard to support our family, so there is no extra money to send me to dance school and dance from primary school. I learned and practiced with TV and Internet videos. After graduating from high school, I applied to many dance schools in New York and Los Angeles, but my basic skills were no match for those who had learned dance since childhood. Finally, I had to find this not so famous Schulman dance school in Calabasas, which is not far from Los Angeles. " Zhou Jingyi said, the whole person is also more and more tight, almost shrink into a ball.

Few people listen to her so quietly. Although she is not in a high mood, she doesn't stop saying, "but even in this not so well-known dance school, my grades and skills are not the best. When I was a child, I learned all kinds of dance, but mainly modern dance. Now in school, I am famous for my good hip-hop dance, which is not taught in school. "

"What are your plans for the future?" Xiao Yao looked at Zhou Jingyi, who was already in the sofa.

"I will graduate from dance school in more than half a year. Anyway, I will definitely rely on dancing to survive, but I don't expect modern dance any more. I formed a team with a group of hip-hop guys to take part in the national hip-hop competition in Los Angeles early next year. I hope we can get a good place and be favored by some famous commercial performance dance organization. Otherwise, we have to go around and look for jobs by ourselves. " Zhou Jingyi smile, "how to say is also practiced so many years, is a skill, should not starve to death.""The National Hip Hop contest? It sounds like a cow. " Xiao Yao is very interested in Tao.

"It's really amazing. In the final stage, there will be live broadcast from all over the United States on TV, so there are many experts involved. It's hard to stand out and get a good place." Zhou Jingyi continued to drink.

"It seems very interesting," Xiao Yao said, looking at Zhou Jingyi. "Can you take me to play with you

"Play? This is an important opportunity for our career, not for fun. Although you saved me today, I can't lower the level of the whole team because of a rookie. " Zhou Jingyi shook her head to Xiao Yao.

Tonight was not a small shock, now and Xiao Yao chat so long, Zhou Jingyi has completely relaxed down. With a bottle of beer, Zhou Jingyi was sleepy. After shaking her head, Zhou Jingyi's eyes began to get a little confused.

"When I was in China the year before last, I joined a dance team. I've studied with them for two years. I'm not really a rookie." Xiao Yao couldn't help saying.

"That's no good," Zhou Jingyi's whole head has been tilted on the armrest of the sofa, murmuring, "you are not American, you are not qualified. You can't be on stage until you get a green card. "

"Ah? What are the rules? " Xiao Yao has some silly eyes.

"Of course, only Americans can take part in the National Hip Hop contest." Zhou Jingyi subconsciously replied.

"Oh..." Xiao Yao thought, as if it was the same truth.

"Jin..." after a depressed drink, Xiao Yao suddenly feels that it's too late and wants to leave. Can just shout a, Xiao Yao found Zhou Jingyi unexpectedly so shrink in the sofa fell asleep.

With a wry smile and shaking his head, Xiao Yao gently takes out the empty beer bottle that Zhou Jingyi is still holding. Then he opens a blanket on the back of the sofa he just sat on and carefully covers Zhou Jingyi.

In order not to wake up Zhou Jingyi, Xiao Yao's blanket covering action is very careful, and the speed is naturally not fast, so Xiao Yao can have a close look at the girl.

When Xiao Yao met this girl in the supermarket before, she was dressed as a baseball cap and apron. Now this casual dress without a cap is the first one she saw tonight. Earlier this evening, Xiao Yao didn't have a chance to look at the girl carefully. Now when he looked carefully, he found that she had long curly black hair and delicate facial features. With the way she is sleeping in the sofa like a kitten, Xiao Yao can't help but feel pity. There was also a strong desire to help the girl.

"Have a good dream." After quietly looking at the sleeping girl on the sofa for a while, Xiao Yao reaches out his hand and pulls the hair on the girl's face to the back of her head. Then he takes the two empty beer bottles on the tea table to the kitchen area and puts them away. Then he walks out of Zhou Jingyi's apartment and gently closes the door to her from the outside.

Zhou Jingyi just dozed off on the sofa. She didn't fall asleep at all. When Xiao Yao helped her cover the blanket, Zhou Jingyi had been woken up. But she knew that there were only her and Xiao Yao in the whole apartment. Zhou Jingyi, who felt tired and lazy, didn't open her eyes, but still tilted on the sofa and didn't move. When hearing the news of Xiao Yao's departure, the corner of Zhou Jingyi's mouth bends upward, the person rubs downward, and then drills into the blanket on her body.

When Xiao Yao came back to Smith's house, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening. When he saw that the Smith's house was still on, Xiao Yao remembered that he should have called Mrs. Smith and said.

Lightly opened the Smith's door, Xiao Yao did not see anyone in the living room. Thinking that everyone might have fallen asleep, Xiao Yao sighed gently.

Xiao Yao locked the door, turned off the light in the living room, and went upstairs to his attic.

"Yang!" As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs on the third floor, Xiao Yao was startled by a sudden call behind him.

Turning around, Xiao Yao finds that samien is standing behind him.

"Sam, I haven't slept so late." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"What did you do tonight? Why did you come back so late? Even if you work overtime, the supermarket will close at 10:30. You should be home before 11:00. " Sammien looks at Xiao Yaodao.

Immediately nose smoked to smoke, smell Xiao Yao on the body of wine sammien frown way: "you drink?"

"Ah? Oh... After work, I went to a friend's house for a while and had a beer. " Xiao Yao apologized, "thank you for your concern. When I get to now, I'll keep the light in the living room. I'm sorry. I'll call back in advance next time. "

"No," said Samin, a little flustered in his eyes. "I just want to tell you that my mother and I will work late in the supermarket inventory today, so you will come back very late. Don't slip your tongue in front of your mother tomorrow. I don't want to be grounded by mom with you. Besides, the lamp in the living room was left for you by mom. She's afraid that when you come back, you can't see in the dark, and you'll trip over the furniture. " With that, Samin turned back to his room without looking back."Oh, thank you, and Mrs. Smith!" Xiao Yao could only whisper to samien's back.

"You're welcome!" Sammien's steps faltered, stood there and whispered back, then went into his room and closed the door.
