[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

Fans on the Internet gradually lost their minds, but the people at the parade were more immersed in the festive atmosphere, and did not pay too much attention to the Hollywood superstar, but only smiled kindly at the intimate behavior of the Houghton-McCullough couple.

"Okay, your time is up."

Eli, dubbed "the son-in-law", took Josie off Akasha's body, handed Akasha's reins to the horse trainer they brought, and then went out to protect Josie.

Since today's parade scene was really crowded, Eli took Josie's hand seemingly naturally, but she didn't expect her to shake it back more naturally than he did, making the two of them form a state of interlocking fingers. When he couldn't help but look back at the past, he blinked innocently.

"What's wrong?" Josie asked.

"...It's nothing." Eli changed the subject, "At nine o'clock, your fans are secretly filming us with their mobile phones."

Even though he said so, the sudden acceleration of his heartbeat and the fleeing fingertips that seemed to have tiny electric currents more or less betrayed his superficial indifference.

Josie glanced in the direction Eli was pointing at, waved to the young girl holding the phone, and gave a bright smile.

Then, she turned to Eli and said, "She's so shy, so cute."

Eli declined to comment.

Anyway, in Josie's eyes, her star-chasing girls are the cutest people in the world, not one of them.

After a short parade experience, they had lunch at a nearby Southeast Asian restaurant, and then went to the booth belonging to McCullough Farm in the NRG Stadium to prepare for the exhibition that officially started tomorrow.

The next day was another sunny day.

At 10:30 in the morning, when we arrived at the NRG Stadium, the home of the Houston Stampede, today's competitive session had not yet started, but the carnival and temporary animal farms outside the stadium were already overcrowded.

Two cameras are live broadcasting the live delivery of cows, and a circle of people are gathered around to cooperate with the commentary to cheer for the cows and wait for the birth of new life. There are also milking cows, watching chickens break their shells, and spinning ponies that are more suitable for children. Activities such as feeding domestic animals and cubs are very lively. It seems that all Texans have made an appointment to go out and play today.

Josie took another look at the fawn being fed next door, and Eli asked, "Do you want to try?"

"Me?" Josie looked at herself, and then at the little girl who was at most eight or nine years old over there, "Let's forget it, it's a children's game."

However, Eli has already handed over a crispy tube filled with feed, the meaning is self-evident.

After thinking about it, Josie rejected the crispy skin tube, but directly pulled Eli himself into the feeding grounds for the cubs.

Faced with the almost powerless restraint between his left wrist and wrist, the tall and strong Eli had no way to break free. He could only stand next to a dangerous species that seemed to be spouting saliva—an alpaca—and squatted from time to time. Josie, who was feeding the fawn there, handed over a few pellets.

But the alpaca seemed to be particularly interested in the crispy skin in his hand, stretched out its neck and arched vigorously in the direction of the crispy skin, and didn't even mind bribing the owner of the crispy skin with a kiss.

It's a pity that Eli remained unmoved and protected the crispy tube in his hand very well.

So after Josie finished feeding the deer in front of her, she saw the alpaca next to them spit at Eli angrily. If Eli hadn't reacted quickly and backed away, he might have to bear the attack head-on.

But his plaid shirt still suffered, and the hem got a little wet.

Josie raised the corner of her mouth, unlocked the phone very skillfully in her hand, and said to Eli: "Smile, cowboy, leave a mark..."

Before he could finish speaking, Eli suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Josie, and turned around to wrap her in his arms.

Nourishes—

The alpaca launched a second attack.

Eli was hit hard, and half of his body and hair were splashed with the strange smell of alpaca saliva. Fortunately, Josie was well protected in his arms, and she was not harmed at all.

She was even slightly moved, and couldn't help laughing wantonly at her husband's embarrassed appearance, and she still didn't forget to take several photos with her mobile phone.

Well, it seems that Ms. Horton's cleanliness will not break out now, and her recent good mood will only last forever.

Eli brushed out his hair.

While frowning, he thought happily in bitterness.

Just looking at the smile that belonged to her in front of him, the curvature of his lips still couldn't be completely suppressed, and it slightly rose a little.

After a while.

Eli asked helplessly: "Ma'am, have you laughed enough?"

"It's almost there." The smile on Josie's face remained undiminished, and she suggested, "How about we take it home?"

Eli followed Josie's line of sight to the alpaca that seemed to be ready to go, sighed slightly, and replied, "I'm sure this is not a good idea."

Josie could only wave goodbye to the alpaca with regret.

Because of this episode, the two returned to the farm booth and asked Eli to clean up the smell.

He has always had a rough life, so he habitually took off the denim shirt he was wearing, put his head under the water pipe, rinsed his hair, washed his face, and wiped off the water stains.

During the whole process, Josie stood by the fence not far away and looked at Eli, with her hands folded around her chest and a slight smile on her lips.

Eli raised his head, looking back with some doubts in his eyes.

Because of this action, a few strands of his wet hair hung down in front of his forehead, and the water droplets fell on the eyelashes along the hair, making him blink subconsciously, and the tough guy temperament all over his body disappeared, like a bird A large dog with wet hair.

Josie held back her smile, took a towel and handed it over, "I'll cut your hair when I get home tonight."

"Okay." Eli took the towel and put it on his head, and wiped it vigorously a few times.

That strength made Josie feel distressed.

It's not that I feel sorry for him, but for that thick and stubborn hair.

Josie shook her head, stepped forward, and picked up the towel.

Eli sat down on the short and small folding chair in a cooperative manner, her shoulders slumped, her elbows rested on her knees, and she lowered her head to allow Josie to brush her hair.

Obviously, her strength was a bit too light, her movements were too careful, and she didn't have much experience in doing this for others, but he still felt that it was good.

At this time, Eli heard Josie chuckle above her head, and said, "To be honest, when we first met, I really never thought that one day I would do this kind of thing in this kind of place."

There was no disgust or disgust in her tone, she just expressed her feelings.

Surrounded by endless crowds, the ground was covered with messy hay, and various animals made different sounds. For Josie before this, such an environment was completely irrelevant.

She has always been more accustomed to the life surrounded by luxurious clothes and luxury yachts and cars. She can see the invincible Pacific Ocean sea view when she wakes up, and there are assistants and bodyguards on call all year round. Like a certain heiress from Houghton, she hired someone to carry her when she walked.

"I haven't thought about it either." Maybe it was because of the towel, Eli's voice sounded muffled, "However, I'm glad you can stay and stay on the farm."

—or rather, stay with him.

The movements in Josie's hands paused, and just as she was about to say something, she heard someone shouting, "Hey, Josie! Eli!"

The visitors were the Parker family, the current mayor of Houston. The female mayor, Annis Parker, the mayor's wife, Kathy Hubbard, and their two daughters all wore denim styles that fit the festive atmosphere.

The gray-haired old lady, who was nearly sixty years old, gave Josie and Eli a big hug, and invited them to watch the rodeo that was about to start, but Eli found an excuse and declined.

After the Parker family left, Eli explained to Josie in a low voice: "Parker will continue to be re-elected this year."

"Can she last until the third term?" Josie was a little surprised.

This is really because, in the deeply conservative Texas stronghold, a gay female mayor is too rare.

"She's going to make it to sixth." Obviously, Eli is one of the benefactors behind Annis Parker, "Parker is a man of action, but some of her ideas are strongly opposed by conservatives, so you should Avoid appearing in public with her."

"Since I've always supported abortion," Josie added for him.

"Yes." Eli said.

"Okay." Josie spread her hands, "After all, for some senators, small toys that improve life are more dangerous than guns. This is probably why we need normal people like Annis Parker to participate in politics. "

Eli nodded silently.

In fact, as early as the time she was attacked by anti-abortion radicals, he had already started to increase political donations to those normal people, and sent people to persuade some arrogant and conservative old white men to help the current mayor of Houston fight for Rights of women and children.

He really didn't want her to be in danger for this kind of thing again.

After the lunch break, it was time for today's rodeo. Most of the people in the venue gathered on the field to scream and applaud the Texas cowboys who were leaving.

During the period, a winning cowgirl was obviously a fan of Josie's movie. She threw her cowboy hat to Josie who was sitting in the front row through the fence, and even blew a kiss, instantly making the atmosphere extremely warm.

Only Eli, who was beside Josie, couldn't help but blacken his face: Should we be glad that it's a cowgirl?

Fortunately among the misfortunes, it was already the last game, and it didn't take long for the most anticipated music festival to come. Today, the organizers invited the famous rock star Melissa Etheridge to perform on stage. It will be broadcast live by SKKY TV station.

When the iconic song "Ain't It Heavy" sounded, the audience was quickly infected by Melissa Etheridge's singing. Many people stood up and swayed their bodies, or joined in singing, completely immersed in the charm of the music.

Josie is no exception.

Melissa Etheridge is one of her personal favorite singing voices. Not only can she sing this song from beginning to end, but she also sings it with great devotion. Melissa Etheridge herself on stage Here comes the microphone.

On the contrary, Eli, who had always been quiet, became a different kind. The serious face was projected onto the secondary screen of the stage by the live camera along with Josie who was shaking her head beside her, forming an extremely sharp contrast immediately.

And Josie also noticed the close-up picture that belonged to them. She covered her face and laughed, then took Eli's hand and waved it in the direction of the camera a few times. She was just an ordinary fan at the scene. .

After the live camera moved away.

Josie turned her head and asked, "You don't like this song?"

"No." Eli looked at Josie, her face still retained the joyful and vigorous vitality inspired by this song, as if it would glow.So he turned his head, leaned closer to her ear, and whispered, "I like it very much, especially the phrase 'Itrywithangeltonight'."
