Rui Fan's room is not big, with a single bed, a chest of drawers at the end of the bed, a desk by the window, and two photo frames on the desk, one for himself and one for his family A low bookcase by the table, and a guitar hanging on the wall.Very neat and simple.

"I put your clothes in the closet, the second drawer, and everything else is in the first drawer, what do you want?"

"My makeup bag."

Rui Fan opened the drawer and handed her the makeup bag.

"Thank you."

"You didn't bring pajamas,? I brought you a nightgown from Rain."

"Thank you." Pulled the hem of his pajamas, "You should wear your pajamas for me."

Rui Fan laughed all of a sudden, "I don't have any extra pajamas for you." But after thinking about it, he found a set of old pajamas on the bottom layer of the chest of drawers. "This is my old pajamas, wash it tomorrow, you can wear this set."

Haili put on her pajamas, picked up the old pajamas and made gestures on her body, the length was just right.

"How old are you in your pajamas?"

"I'm 16 years old." He took the pajamas, put them on a chair beside him, sat down on the edge of the bed, and patted the mattress, "Go to sleep, aren't you sleepy already?"

She obediently went to bed, "Where do you want to sleep?"

"Here." Push her down, press her upper body on her, and kiss her intimately.

In the morning, Arlene got up very early.

Cooking breakfast for a large family can be tedious, busy half-day.When the children wake up one after another, there will be a ready-made breakfast to eat.

Waffles, muffins, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, toast, jam, tomato slices, lettuce, salad dressing, mayonnaise.

Hailey was the last to get up, went to the bathroom in the master bedroom to wash up, then went back to change clothes, and went out to the dining room for dinner.

"You sit here." Rui Fan patted the chair beside him.

"What can I eat?" She sat down.

"Toast?"

"Row."

Rui Fan took a dinner plate and gave her two slices of slightly burnt toast, spread mayonnaise on it, added lettuce and tomato slices, and put a fried egg on top.

"Thank you." She smiled at him beautifully.

Jacques asked her, "Do you want orange juice, or milk?"

"Milk, thank you. Arlene, thank you for your breakfast."

Arlene smiled at her.

The pasture is not very big, and there are not many corn and pumpkins. There are a few machines and a few workers parked in the work shed; the cowshed, horse shed, and storage room.

Rain and Jacques each led two horses out, and Rui Fan took Haili to get the saddle.

"Can you move it?" asked her.

She wore Rui Fan's old denim shirt and carried a pair of saddles, "It's a bit heavy, but it's okay."

After leaving the stable, Jacques found it funny seeing her struggling, "Let me do it." He said to his brother, "It's too heavy, she can't carry it."

Hai Li pouted and said in a low voice, "I've never carried such a heavy thing before."

Jacques helped her bring the saddle to the side of the horse, and changed places with Rui Fan.

Rui Fan taught her how to tie the saddle, "Look, it's not very difficult. The straps on the horse's belly should not be too tight, but they should not be too loose either."

Saddle up and help her mount.She knew how to ride a horse, which he had known for a long time, and she had done everything that rich people's children should know.

He went back to saddle his own horse and checked Joaquin's and Rain's saddles.

Rain brought some blankets and tied them to the horses; Jacques brought water bottles, one for each of them.

The four walked around the ranch, and Rui Fan pointed out to her where the border of the ranch was. There were neighbors nearby, and they were all quite far apart. There were small hills and rivers nearby.

The Phoenix people are much more relaxed in their mental state on their ranch. Compared with the bustling metropolis like Los Angeles, they seem to be more adapted to this kind of rural life.

Stopped at a small hill at noon, spread out a blanket, and had a sandwich for lunch.

Jacques went to pick some wild flowers and gave Rain and Haili a bouquet each. Rui Fan weaved a wreath for her and put it on her blonde hair.

"Is it nice?" she asked.

"It's beautiful." He leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek. "Do you like it here?"

"Not bad." She nodded. "It's clean, empty, and fun. How about you? Do you like it? It's not like Los Angeles, where there's a party every day."

Rui Fan shrugged, "I don't have to go to any party to be happy."

"I heard you were crazy when you were with Keanu and the others."

She smiled a little shyly, "That's right! You know what young men think about when they get together, that is, drinking without restraint and chasing girls." She turned her head in embarrassment.

"That's normal. Keanu is popular, and so are you."

"I'm not," immediately denied, "I'm pretty good. I can't be like Keanu, always meet different girls, and those girls are still very good to him, even if they break up, they think he is very good. gone."

Hai Li laughed straight, "I should have known Keanu first, but he said I was underage and told me to go home quickly."

Rui Fan raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

"Don't worry, Helen won't let me out until I'm 16, but well, I was underage at that time." She lay on the blanket, "Do you remember when you first saw me?" ?"

"Remember." He casually pulled a piece of foxtail from the grass beside him, and gently brushed her soft lips with a flower spike, making it tickle. "As soon as you came in, I saw you. At that time, I thought, this girl is so beautiful, why have I never seen her before?"

He was in a trance, thinking about what happened after that?Why can't I seem to remember.

I only remember that she seemed to have a soft light on her body, with shining blond hair, a delicate and tender face, and a faint and soft smile. Her eyes swept across his face, and she seemed to have a special charming charm. He stood up involuntarily, walk over to her.

She stretched out her arms, wrapped them around his neck, raised her upper body slightly, and kissed him.

He quickly came back to his senses, and pressed her back on the blanket again, kissing her hard.

August 8rd is Rui Fan's 23nd birthday.

The dinner was still completely vegetarian. After the meal, Rain and Jacques cleaned up the table, Arlene made the cream cake, Liberty carefully brought out the cake, and Summer took pictures of all this with a home camera.

Hayley watched all this with great curiosity.

She is an only daughter and has never experienced the atmosphere of such a big family birthday celebration. Before the age of 16, Helen always took her out to a dinner as a celebration, adding "Happy Birthday Baby" and then presents.Because she never lacked anything, she didn't look forward to her birthday very excitedly, so she looked forward to her 16th birthday a little bit, thinking that the birthday gift would probably be a car, but she really got the car keys, and she couldn't wait. That's it.

The younger siblings sang "Happy? birthday? to? you," and she sang along a few lines.

Rui Fan smiled and blew out the candles, everyone applauded, and then turned on the lights.

Summer volunteered, "I'll cut the cake!" So Arlene handed her the cake knife.

Summer first cut a piece of cake for Rui Fan, and Rui Fan immediately handed the cake to Arlene, "Mom, thank you."

Arlene took the cake, "My? sweet? baby, you are 22 years old." It seemed a little sad and a little disturbed.She glanced quickly at Hailey, then quickly turned her gaze to her eldest son.

Rui Fan didn't know why, but also felt a little uneasy.

Summer cut another piece of cake and gave it to Rui Fan.

Rui Fan gave the cake to Hai Li, "Baby, thank you."

Hailey felt very strange.

There is a sense of ritual in the Phoenix family's cake distribution. Rui Fan is obviously the male head of the family, Arlene is the female head of the family, and Dad John's presence in this family is very low, basically only surviving in the photos.

It can be seen that the children are very close to Arlene and adore her very much, and Arlene tried her best to maintain her position in the hearts of the children.Arlene is plain-looking, and John is not outstanding. To be able to give birth to a child like Rui Fan must be a genetic mutation.

After eating the cake, Arlene gave Rui Fan a birthday present, and the two older children, Rain and Jacques, also gave their brother a birthday present. The two younger sisters were too young, so they didn't need to prepare presents.

Summer was very anxious and asked, "Hailey, what gift did you give my brother?"

Jacques glared at her, "You're rude!"

Haili stood up, "Wait a minute." She quickly returned to her room, took out a small box that was packed, and handed it to Rui Fan, "Happy birthday, honey."

As soon as Rui Fan took the small box, Samo looked at him eagerly, with only two words "unpack it!" in his eyes.

"Open it and see if you like it." Hai Li said cooperatively.

It is a Bulgari watch, round, with silver and white steel ring, black dial, leather strap, simple and elegant.

This kind of basic design is good because it is simple and generous, even if you don't like it very much, you can't go wrong.And be sure to say "I like it very much".

Rui Fan took off the watch on his left wrist and immediately put on Bulgari.

"I like it, thank you."

Summer seemed disappointed.

"Do you really like it?" Hailey asked him in a low voice after returning to the room.

"I like it very much. Why?"

"It's nothing. I bought it randomly in Paris," said pretending not to care, "I just buy something from any street stall as a gift, and you will like it."

"I will definitely like it. I will definitely like everything you give me." Suddenly he took out a pair of glasses and put them on, "Look, this is the birthday present you gave me last year. It's a gift from you."

"That's very simple. I'll take you to Gainesville tomorrow. I'll buy you whatever you want."

Rui Fan just laughed, "Not now, you don't have the financial means yet. Besides, you made a mistake, I mean, birthday gift, St. Valentine's Day gift, Christmas gift, New Year's gift, you will have a chance." Holding her hand, kissing her fingers and the back of her hand, "What about you? Do you also want to be a gift from me from top to bottom, from inside to outside?"
