Chapter 8 I Have a Question for You
Chang Sheng is a man of action, so when he made the decision to go to Los Angeles, he immediately made a phone call to book a ticket.
The first flight from Rome, Italy to Los Angeles, USA via Washington DC.
He didn't inform anyone, not even Lazio president Lotito knew where he was going.
Chang Sheng naturally did not call Avril Lavigne.
It doesn't matter, anyway, he has the keys to the apartment where Avril Lavigne lives in Los Angeles, and it's not the first time he's been there.
He also lived there for a few days.
However, that was four years ago. At that time, Avril Lavigne hadn't become famous yet, and they could ask someone to take a group photo for them on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as a souvenir. They can also drink in the bars of Sunset Terrace Commercial Street, go to Paramount Film City to watch film shootings, and listen to the singing of street performers quietly on the street.
No one will recognize Avril Lavigne, and it is even less likely that anyone will recognize herself.
Avril Lavigne only needs a peaked cap and a pair of sunglasses are enough.
Now, I'm afraid it's impossible to wrap myself in a windbreaker.
Later, when Avril Lavigne became more and more famous, Chang Sheng never went to that apartment again, and they always made appointments in advance when they met, and then went to meet up, just like underground party joints.
But this time, Chang Sheng planned to go directly to Avril's apartment to find her, or wait for her.
When the plane was flying over the Atlantic Ocean, for some reason, Chang Sheng remembered the time when Avril Lavigne held a concert in Madrid.
Tens of thousands of people screamed Lavigne's name in the stadium, and they waved their arms. It's like being possessed.
Avril Lavigne sang and danced on the stage, as if possessed by a demon.
But he was unusually calm in the crowd. He even heard another song that didn't belong here in Avril Lavigne's singing.
It was "I Finally Lost You" written and composed by Li Zongsheng.
Did you lose Avril in the crowd?
Chang Sheng put on the blindfold and began to rest.
※※※
At eight o'clock in the evening local time,
Chang Sheng has already appeared in Avril Lavigne's apartment.
Avril Lavigne's apartment was empty, and Chang Sheng didn't feel strange at all, because the furnishings in this apartment were exactly the same as four years ago, and Avril Lavigne hadn't touched at all. Chang Sheng even knew where he put his pajamas, and he went to take a bath very familiarly. Then he changed into pajamas, took out beer from the refrigerator in the kitchen, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
In order not to attract attention, Chang Sheng did not turn on the lights, so that others would not know that Avril's room was lit.
In the living room, there is only the fluorescence of the TV screen.
Chang Sheng changed the channel at will, and suddenly caught a glimpse and saw Avril.
He quickly called back.
Sure enough, Avril Lavigne's radiant face appeared again on the TV screen.
There is a big gap between the Avril on TV and the Avril I usually see.
At least Avril Lavigne will no longer wear smoky makeup in front of her.
It used to be small. Rebellious, he likes to turn himself into a drug addict.
Now that I'm older, I don't like it anymore.
In fact, the main thing is that I don't like being labeled.
Many people equate dark circles and smoky makeup with Avril Lavigne, thinking that Avril Lavigne should be like this.
In the past three years, Avril Lavigne has not considered changing her look.
But every time, many people came to dispel his thoughts. Her agent, her sponsor. Her fans don't want her to change the image of "rebellious girl" and "punk girl".
For commercial interests, Avril Lavigne had to succumb to the public impression and continued to appear in front of the public and the media with two dark circles under her eyes.
But she once complained to Chang Sheng about this, thinking that her freedom was getting less and less. Even what hairstyle to wear and what color to dye your hair have to listen to your manager and record company. And of the sponsor.
She doesn't want to be regarded as a punk girl and rebellious girl all her life, she also wants to be a normal girl more often.
But in front of the media and fans, she would never be able to do that.
Chang Sheng told her that at least in front of her, she could be whoever she wanted to be without any constraints.
So when Avril Lavigne saw Chang Sheng again, she only put on light makeup, and her iconic dark circles disappeared.
Chang Sheng recovered from the memory of Avril's face, and now he finds that anything related to Avril will immediately involve a related memory.
There are so many stories between him and Avril...
Chang Sheng, who came back to his senses, realized that what was playing on TV seemed to be an entertainment program.
There is also a "ve" sign in the corner of the TV, which means that this is a live program.
Avril Lavigne is being interviewed by the host on TV.
Looks like it's an ordinary TV talk show.
So what are they talking about?
Avril Lavigne seemed to have given a wonderful answer just now, and the audience laughed happily.
The host also had a smile on his face.
After the laughter subsided, he made a gesture: "Everyone knows that there is something that has attracted much attention recently, right?"
Before the question was finished, the audience made another noise.
Chang Sheng was annoyed when he heard the noise from the audience.
You have everything! Make a fuss about everything!
You are a group of so-called "enthusiasts"!
"Now let's clear Derek Webley!!" the host shouted, leading the applause.
Chang Sheng complained: "Damn! There are also leaders in the United States!"
Then, under the warm applause of the audience, Derek Webley came out suavely, greeted the audience with that bad boy smile, shook hands with the host, and hugged Avril...
Chang Sheng crushed an empty soda can that had just finished drinking beer.
※※※
Ever since Derek Webley came out, there was no picture of Avril Lavigne. When she reappeared, she would already be hugging Derek Webley.
So Chang Sheng didn't know that Avril Lavigne was also a little surprised when she saw Derek Webley coming out - obviously the program production team had concealed something in order to create a "surprise".
But Avril wanted to frown...
What she's thinking in her heart now is - "Uncle is in Italy. He probably won't be able to see this show, right?"
But unfortunately, the uncle in her heart is watching the live broadcast in her apartment.
※※※
When the recording of the show was over, the audience went to the stage to ask the two stars to sign, and then retreated.
The host shook hands to thank them for their cooperation, and by the way made a joke about Avril Lavigne and Webbery.
Then the host also left, Weber looked at Avril who was about to leave, and suddenly asked to stay: "Lavi, do you want to have a supper together?"
He had that bad boy smile. This kind of smile makes many girls helpless.
He thought to himself that with the recent good relationship between himself and Avril Lavigne, plus Avril Lavigne is his fan, could Avril Lavigne still refuse the invitation from his idol?
But Avril Lavigne froze for a moment after hearing his invitation, and then shook her head bluntly: "No, Derek. I'm tired. I want to go back and rest."
Webley was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his invitation would be rejected by Avril Lavigne.
Before he invited Avril Lavigne to his party, Avril Lavigne agreed very well.
Why this time, it was just a meal...but refused?
Not giving him another chance to invite, Avril turned away after rejecting Weberly.
She felt a little uneasy, but she didn't know why she was uneasy. Anyway, there was a bad feeling that made her not want to stay outside at all. Want to go home as soon as possible.
It seems that only when I go home can my restless heart be able to calm down.
As for music idols... Avril Lavigne can't take care of them at all at this time.
She didn't see Webley's surprised and disappointed eyes behind her at all.
※※※
When Avril opened the door of her apartment, she finally knew why her heart was so restless, and she had to go home to find peace.
Because she saw the uncle sitting on the sofa watching TV in the living room...!
Chang Sheng heard the door knock, and when he turned to look, he was still holding a can of beer in his hand. I was about to pour it into my mouth.
Then he stayed in this position.
Then he saw Avril's eyes light up, and he rushed over with a scream.
"Uncle!"
"Hey! Hey! It's spilled..." Chang Sheng wanted to protect the wine in his hand. He looked very embarrassed.
"Why are you here? Ah... that's right! I know!" Avril suddenly raised her head while holding Chang Sheng, her beautiful eyes reflected the lights on the ceiling of the living room, shining like stars.
"You saw it, right? You saw the media coverage, right?"
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes, Avril guessed it so easily, which made him feel unfulfilled.
He also thought about "invoking the teacher to inquire about the crime" when Avril Lavigne was puzzled.
"Yeah, I saw it, so I came." Now that Avril had guessed it, Chang Sheng could only admit it.
"Ah, that...that was just hype by the media. In fact, nothing happened between Webboli and me..." Avril looked carefully at Chang Sheng's explanation, as if she was afraid that if she said something wrong, it would make Chang Sheng feel uncomfortable. Sheng is even more angry.
Chang Sheng interrupted her and pulled her to the sofa to sit down.
"I've thought about it for a long time, Avril." He started with a serious face, which made Avril even more nervous. "We had a promise to spend ten Christmases together. But I find it really hard to do that now, you have your life and I have mine. We can still spend Christmas together now, that What about in the future? What will we do in the future?"
"We've been together for four Christmases, thank goodness nothing went wrong. But another four years? What will you and I be? I've thought about it very hard, and I think there will be many kinds Possibly, but most of them are not very good…”
"For example, you will become someone else's wife, and I will have my own wife and children... Will we still be able to spend Christmas together at that time?"
Chang Sheng looked at Avril Lavigne.
Avril bit her lips tightly and said nothing. She didn't seem to want to admit defeat yet, she didn't want to admit defeat in the face of the powerful and helpless reality.
"So after much deliberation, I feel that we must end this ignorant relationship, Avril."
Avril's lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
"I think, if we want to spend Christmas together for ten years, there is probably only one way..."
Having said that, the expression on Chang Sheng's face became more serious.
"End our current relationship and enter a new relationship... Avril, I have a question for you."
Chang Sheng leaned over and looked at Avril from a very close distance. He could even see the light flickering in Avril's eyes. It was definitely not lights, but... tears.
This poor girl was obviously frightened by herself...
He asked: "Would you like to be my girlfriend, Avril? I know it's difficult, after all, there's a big age difference between the two of us...and you're a big star, you have many fans..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Avril scream, and then he was hit by Avril.
"You are a big villain! You are a big villain!! I will! Bad uncle! I will!"
