Bee slept until noon the next day,a look at the phone has been twelve noon,and hurriedly get up to pack.
She just came to the United States not long ago,so the luggage is not a lot,packing more than two hours has been all packed.
Just lying on the sofa,want to rest for a while,Crystal's phone call came in.
"Hello,Bee,do you need help with your packing?"
"No,no,I'm all packed and ready to call a cab over."
"No,the car the family sent over just arrived downstairs,if it's convenient for you now,I'll have the driver go upstairs and help you move?"
Bee hurriedly stood up and looked out of the window towards the bottom,and sure enough she saw a minivan parked at the curb,with two mover look-alikes looking towards the upper floors.
Bee rushed back,"I'm good,you can let them up."
Not two minutes later,Bee heard a knock on the door,and as soon as she opened it,she saw Crystal standing in the doorway with a big smile on her face.
"Hi crystal,you're here too?"Bee hurriedly made way for everyone to come into the room.
Crystal was especially polite and didn't just wander around the room or pry into anything,she just directed the movers to move things,Bee couldn't intervene at all and was pushed by her to sit on the sofa and rest.
When she was almost done moving,Crystal pulled Bee downstairs,got into her familiar sports car,and sped all the way to the house in the suburbs.
Not long after the car turned into a side road,and after driving a short distance they saw a gate that was slowly opening,the car entered the gate and drove a little further up the hill,stopping in front of the glass door of a large house.
"Here we are,"Crystal said as she helped a dumbfounded looking Bee unbuckle her seatbelt and pulled her out of the car.
Bee looked aside at the view down the hill and then at the big house,although her own house was big too,it wasn't this close to nature after all,and it was still quite a shock to see this big mansion for the first time.
Crystal didn't bother her,just stood aside and watched her with a smile.
Just looking at it,the back of the porter began to work,Bee watched them move into the house one by one,only to have a kind of real sense that they want to live in.
Turning her head to look at Crystal,she realized that she was still smiling at her,collected her expression,smiled coyly,and followed her into the house.
The house was surrounded by glass floor-to-ceiling windows,and from every corner of the house you could see the outside,as well as the circle of protective walls at the bottom of the hill.
Originally Bee also wondered,this glass wall,is not afraid of being smashed and robbed?It is said that the security of the United States does not seem to be so good ah.
It turns out that this security work from the foot of the mountain began,so far away,others can not see what kind of house,but turned in,climbed up the mountain,should be quite difficult.
Crystal took Bee up to the third floor and pointed to the room on the right and said,"This is your room."
Bee opened the door and walked in,the room was really quite big.On the right hand side was the bathroom,in front of the left side was a big bed,in front of the right side was a sofa,and in front of the floor-to-ceiling window there were a few seats,so that you could look out at the distant scenery.
Crystal opened a door on the left hand side,"This is your checkroom."
"Jacob had some things to do today,so he couldn't help you move,and everything is up here,so take a break,and let's have dinner together when he gets back in the evening."
Bee hurriedly nodded,and watched Crystal close the door to her room before she lay down in a fitful manner next to the floor-to-ceiling window,looking out at the blue sky with a feeling of unreality.
It was as if it had been a dream since she had applied to the American school without her mom and dad's knowledge and got on the plane.
Now that she was living in this house by herself,it was even more like a dream,could it really be a beautiful dream?
Watching,Bee actually fell asleep,she herself didn't know how long she had been asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.
"Bee,are you there?"
Bee woke up with a start,and the little fluff by her ears disappeared,looking outside,it was dark.
Rushing up,she opened the door to her room to see Jacob in a white shirt and suit pants,tugging at the tie on his lapel.
"Had a good rest?Ready to come down for dinner."With that,he turned and went into the room across the hall.
Bee slapped her face and went downstairs.
Just as soon as she hit the stairs,she froze at the sight of so many people busy in the dining room.
When she came in the afternoon this house was horribly empty,and she thought that the two siblings were on their own,but in the end,when she woke up,why were there so many servants?
It's just one dinner,is it so much?
Before she could walk to the dining table,she saw the maid on the side attentively walking over,helping Bee pull out the chair in advance,signaling that she could sit there.
Bee slowly walked over and sat down,puzzled as she watched the maids walk around,but no Crystal or Jacob were to be seen.
One after another,the servants began to serve and plate the food,and surprisingly,it was all Chinese food.
Bee was quietly poking her head in to see what was being prepared when Jacob walked by the stairs.
Bee saw the maid move the chair across from her and thought he would sit across from her,but he actually pulled out his own chair and sat next to her.
Bee raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Once the servants had served all the food,Jacob clumsily picked up his chopsticks,"Eat."
"Where's Crystal?"
"She had something impromptu just now and went out."
-------Crystal,who was driving,suddenly sneezed,"It's annoying that I have to go out and eat by myself when I can eat Chinese food together at home."
Bee immediately picked up her chopsticks and happily ate,not paying any attention to Jacob and the servants'reactions.
The maids looked at Jacob's clumsy appearance,they all found it very funny,but they didn't dare to laugh,they were all trying to hold it back.
Bee was burying her head in her mouth and eating hard when suddenly a vegetable leaf fell in front of her face.
Turning her head,she saw Jacob struggling to hold the chopsticks to give himself some food,but she had already dropped several leaves in front of her.
"Hmm...I can actually chuck my own food."
Jacob didn't say anything,just took another piece of sweet and sour chicken with more force and placed it firmly in Bee's bowl.
Bee hurriedly took it and ate it,saying appreciatively,"You're great,you never use chopsticks,do you?"
Jacob looked away and nodded.
Bee also chucked over a piece of sweet and sour chicken and put it in his bowl,"It's okay,there's no need to accommodate me at home,just cook normally.I can eat anything anyway,no taboos."
The maid was beside him,wanting to say something,but finally held back.
Bee just slept for too long,now is not sleepy at all,after eating,he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and took a slow walk,looking at the scenery while digesting and digesting.
Jacob disappeared for a while,and when he returned he saw Bee's back in front of the window and walked over to hand her a small box.
As soon as Bee opened the box she saw an electronic key,"This?"
""This is the electronic key to the house,tomorrow I'll have someone from the security company come and enter your fingerprints and face ID so you can open the door and come in and out on your own.""
"Ah,no need,the house is always occupied anyway,I shouldn't need it."Bee was ready to hand it back.
Jacob didn't take it,"Take it,in case you need it temporarily."
Bee took it and said,"Thanks~"
The maid came over and handed Jacob a glass of red wine,"Ms.Bee,what would you like to drink?"
Bee turns around and smiles sweetly at her,"I'll just have water,thanks."
Jacob pulled Bee to sit on the lazy sofa by the window and together they looked out the window at the starry sky.
Bee spoke first,"When do we need to sign the deed?"
"You're asking when you'll be paid,aren't you?"
Bee scowled and laughed at the revelation.
"Tomorrow the lawyers will bring the agreement,and after we sign it,I'll send the money to your account in three installments."Jacob shook his glass.
Bee took the glass of water handed to her by the maid and said thanks.
"Okay,no problem."
"And you don't have any questions?Don't want to get the money all at once?"
"The money will be mine in the end anyway,and the agreement will be signed,so what am I afraid of?It's not like I'm running away with the money,"Bee took a big gulp of water,"It'll also prevent me from spending it frivolously,which is fine."
Jacob took the last sip of his drink and set the glass down on a side chair,turning around and resting his hands behind his head.
It wasn't as if he hadn't been attracted to other people after living for so long,but it was the first time he had ever felt like looking at the stars like this,as if he had forgotten everything else.
Bee followed his example,placing the covers on a side chair and plopping down on her side on the couch,right in front of him,to watch him daze.
Bee had never thought that her own study abroad life,which had just begun,was so wonderful.
Sleeping with a stranger in the first month,and in a month and a half being about to agree to get married with this stranger.
What will happen in this year of agreement?
Jacob turned his head to see Bee,who was looking at himself in disbelief,her eyes had let go.
Jacob slowly approached her and was just about to kiss her when he was met with a,"Ah!"He was startled.
Bee was also startled by the sound and looked up and kissed Jacob on the chin.
Jacob froze in place as Bee kissed him.
Crystal let out another"ah"and pointed at the two of them,covering her mouth.
Jacob looked down at Bee and got up,fleeing back upstairs in a panic.
Bee frowned at Jacob's back,what kind of innocence is this big brother pretending to be?He's old enough to have never kissed anyone?Why is he pretending to be flustered?
Crystal walked over and sat on the lazy sofa,looking at Bee with a bad smile,"Am I interrupting you guys?"
Bee rolled her eyes and turned back,continuing to look at the stars.
'I wonder what mom and dad and Rui Rui are doing.
Suddenly I miss them so much.'
