Chapter 165 Keep It Casual
"Don't stop be..."

A hand quickly stretched out from under the quilt, and pressed out Steve Perry, who hadn't sung a full sentence.

"This ringtone really should be changed..."

His sleepy eyes seemed to be glued together with super glue, and he couldn't open them no matter what.Fortunately, the sunshine in England is far from strong. Compared with California, it is a lightweight version suitable for all ages. Han Yi, who is lying on the left side of the double bed, can gradually find the courage to fight against the light in the next few minutes.

France's game against Albania ended with two goals from Griezmann and Payet in stoppage time.As for the friendly match between Han Yi and Barbara, the process was similar, but the result was somewhat different.

Two shots, one wide and one blocked by Barbara in the last moments.If you count the warm-up match in the afternoon, as a striker, Han Yi has dedicated four attempts to score goals today. No matter how vigorous his body is, it is difficult to maintain vitality in this intensity of intense exercise.

Therefore, Han Yi, who was exhausted, didn't have the energy to get up and go back to the Shard, and Barbara also kindly offered to stay in the same bed.So, after sending a message to Fei Yamu, asking him to return to Shangri-la by himself and pay attention to the safety of the road, Han Yi tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.

Speaking of which... where's Barbara?
Han Yi glanced at the time on his phone. Before eight o'clock, Barbara beside him had disappeared.

Did you go to work?

Don't you feel relieved to leave me alone at home?

Putting on his clothes indiscriminately, Han Yi went to the bathroom, smoothed his hair, and washed up briefly.

Barbara is undoubtedly a very considerate and competent hostess. She not only unsealed a new toothbrush for Han Yi, but even squeezed the toothpaste for him and put it flat on the glass.

The fly in the ointment is that the toothbrush is from Victoria's Secret, the color is peach pink, and Love Pink is written on the handle.

Wiping the remaining toothpaste at the corner of his mouth, Han Yi grabbed the handrail and walked down the stairs slowly.

"Repülj madár repülj,

Menaságra repülj,

des galambomnak,

Gyenge válláraülj! "

The closer to the first floor, the clearer the singing of the female voice floating over.In order not to disturb this self-sufficient joy, Han Yi couldn't help but lighten his steps.

He leaned forward on the round handrail of the last step of the stairs, secretly observing the source of the singing.

Barbara Pavon cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

The Hungarian girl was dressed very simply this morning, a navy blue sweater without words, navy blue sweatpants, and a gray beanie to keep warm.

The homely attire that would make most people downgrade their attractiveness doesn't affect Barbara Pavon's attractiveness in the slightest.After all, this is what she has been doing for ten years, and it is also the natural capital she is most proud of.

After all, supermodels are a group of superpowers who can add luster to any outfit.

"Good morning."

Han Yi supported the open door frame separating the kitchen and the corridor, and waved to Barbara who was immersed in the world of music.

"Vidd el madár vidd el... oh hi, good morning!"

Barbara turned around and broke into a big smile that should hang on London's sky.

"I made you pancakes and a fruit platter."

As if to prove the veracity of Barbara's words, there is still a small ball of flour on the right side of the tip of her nose.

"There's something on your face."

Han Yi walked up to Barbara and gently scraped off the flour with his fingertips.

And in response, Barbara kissed him almost automatically.

Good, good morning.

Bad, bad situation.

The moment their lips parted, Han Yi and Barbara's eyes widened at the same time.

All this is too much like the cohabitation life between lovers.

After the long knee-to-neck conversation at the Phoenix Bar last night, isn't the two of them working together to try their best to avoid this from happening?
"We need to stop waking up in the same bed in the morning."

Barbara tapped her lips and teased.

"Otherwise it would look too much like a serious relationship."

"I will work hard."

Han Yi looked at her and smiled.

"But at the same time, you have to make a little change."

"Like?"

"For example, instead of preparing my breakfast, put a post-it note next to the bed that reads 'When you wake up, get dressed and go away'."

"Okay, hurry up, put on your clothes and get out." Barbara ran towards the door with a grim grimace.

"Can we do this again next time?" Han Yi looked pitifully at the steaming pancakes piled up on the dinner plate, "I haven't eaten homemade pancakes yet."

"Never eaten?"

"Never have."

"Oh, then you're in luck, sir." Barbara clapped her hands excitedly, opened the maple syrup purchased from Aldi, poured a little on the pancakes, then picked up the fork, and stacked them together from top to bottom Cut a slice from the fluffy pancake and brought it to Han Yi's mouth.

"The best flour, the best eggs, the best milk, even the best maple syrup you can find in England... try it."

Han Yi opened his mouth to welcome the delicacy into his mouth, and after a few seconds, he held his breath.

"How?" Barbara looked at each other expectantly.

"Best. Pancake. Ever."

Han Yi exhaled a sigh of admiration with a sweet fragrance.

"I'm a pancake lover, and your pancakes are undoubtedly the top of all restaurants, even IHOP... Well, I have to give you that title, at least for breakfast Domain, you are much better than me."

"Why, thank you, dear."

Barbara curtsied very ladylikely.

"Although it's not unexpected, it's still nice to hear your compliment."

"To express my gratitude, leave the rest of the work to me."

Walking to the kitchen counter, Han Yi put together the fruit platter and the pancake plate.

"I'll do the garnish... what fruit do you want on your pancakes?"

"Cranberries, bananas, and strawberries, thank you."

Barbara, who had been busy for more than half an hour, accepted Han Yi's hospitality with peace of mind. She stood behind him, stretched her neck, and observed with great interest the somewhat clumsy displaying techniques of the Chinese rich man.

After a while, she opened and closed her hands, clasped Han Yi's waist, and rested her chin on his shoulder.

"Won't this posture look like you're in a serious relationship?"

Han Yi turned his head slightly, looked at Barbara Pavon, who was at eye level with him, and smiled slightly.

"Change it next time."

Barbara pecked him across the face.

"Also, as long as we understand each other what the relationship is now, there will be no problems."

"You are right."

Han Yi thought for a while, nodded slightly, turned his head away, and continued his work.

This pair of young men and women who have made up their mind not to fall in love, let alone fall in love with each other, secretly enjoy this wonderful morning that only a couple can have.

It turned out that what they didn't want were the tragic episodes in their relationship that were more painful than any entanglements in the world.

And this moment of sublimation that makes people feel calm and joyful...

Take advantage of no one around.

Let's savor it a bit more.

"I'm going to Paris today."

After Han Yi used more maple syrup to cover the fresh fruit and pancakes together, Barbara, who had been quietly hanging on his shoulder, spoke softly.

"fashion Week?"

"uh-huh."

"Good luck."

"What about you?"

"Back to Los Angeles tomorrow."

"Then I'll send your wish back to you." Barbara whispered into Han Yi's ear, "I'm almost sure that you need this good luck more than I do."

"Yes." Han Yi sighed, "A nightmare that is close at hand but unavoidable is about to begin."

"Will it?" Barbara disagreed. "I think you'll handle it just fine."

"If I really have the ability..."

Han Yi picked up a cranberry fruit with his hand and sent it to Barbara's mouth.

"I don't need you to be my mentor anymore."

"Oh, am I your mentor?" Barbara raised her eyebrows and smiled happily, "Which aspect?"

"Not that way!"

Han Yi patted the back of Barbara's dishonest hand lightly.

"Ouch, how can you beat the teacher like this?"

Barbara bared her teeth like a little lion and pinched Han Yi's cheek.

"But to be honest, after you go back, if you have any confusion, you can ask me at any time... I am a master of emotion."

"That shouldn't be easy."

"why?"

"I don't have any contact information for you."

"Oh, really." Barbara was taken aback. "We didn't even exchange phone numbers?"

"Yes, there are no phone numbers."

"I don't even have a phone number, but we actually shared two mornings together." Barbara looked serious and thoughtful, "We really interpreted the word casual to the extreme."

"Who said no?"

Without any prior contact or subsequent communication, Han Yi and Barbara Pavin actually played a game of fun for the host and guest in Ibiza and London, two places that are considered two countries anyway. friendly match.

This kind of casual relationship is not common anywhere, and the two of them have never experienced a casual relationship before, which makes them both a little bit amused.

Are you worried about the so-called serious relationship?
This whole thing is the ultimate fuck boys dream.

"So, should we swap numbers now, or keep it chilling?"

"The words have come to this point, if you don't exchange them, it seems to be hiding something."

"you're right."

Barbara nodded slightly, passed her hand under Han Yi's armpit, and stretched it out to his eyes.

"cell phone."

Han Yi easily took out the iPhone from his pocket and put it in Barbara's palm, but before Barbara asked for the unlock code, she just lit up the screen of the phone and put it on the kitchen counter as if it were hot.

Four or five unread Whatsapp and Wechat messages, no need to guess, I know where these messages come from.

Barbara wasn't prepared to wade into these muddy waters.

"Let me read it to you, my US number is also my Whatsapp account number."

"332..."

"...2284."

Departing from the Four Seasons Hotel next to Piedmont Park in Atlanta, head south along the I-75 highway all the way to the Philips Stadium on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter business car. Han Yi is sitting in the last row, holding the right hand of the mobile phone on the car In front of the small conference table, he silently recited the number of Barbara Pavon that appeared on the main interface of Whatsapp.

This is the vehicle prepared by Live Nation, the organizer of Future Now: The Tour, for the hot guests.On the road, no star will choose to ride in a flashy Bentley or Rolls Royce.These so-called top luxury models are mainly designed for short-distance driving on urban roads, and are by no means suitable for performance trips that require hundreds of miles of driving on national roads.

Take the tour that Madison Beal and Billie Eilish will be on throughout: July 7 in Sunrise, July 1 in Orlando.The distance between the two is too short to fly, but the commute time is at least a few hours if you drive.Therefore, like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the seat is spacious and soft, and can be laid down for a rest at any time. The trunk is big enough to hold a whole accompaniment band’s portable equipment. becomes the best choice.

The show starts at 10:30, ends at 01:30, withdraws at [-]:[-], loads at [-]:[-], and starts at [-]:[-] with trucks full of stage equipment to the next venue.After simply resting overnight, or playing until dawn at the celebration party, the tour bus transporting dancers, accompaniment singers and other staff, the light commercial vehicle picking up the opening guests, and the luxury car for the main star are gradually on the road.

Except for the driver, almost everyone falls asleep on the road, especially touring stars.After the concert that was celebrated by tens of thousands of people, it was very difficult for the stars who returned to the hotel to get a good and adequate rest.Among other things, even the adrenaline soaring to the extreme will make them toss and turn and find it difficult to fall asleep.

Many musicians try drugs for the first time, just to stay awake and active during the exhausting tour.

Therefore, sleep during the daytime rush becomes extremely important.The voice that sang for two hours in a row needs to be restarted, and the sore body after completing various dance moves also needs to be revived urgently.

That's why, as long as it's not transoceanic or coast-to-coast, most musicians on tour will try to use ground transportation.

Not only is it to save the cost of air tickets, but more importantly, it is of course much more convenient to drive by yourself than to go through various complicated procedures for flights.

Do you now know why each show organizer has a special itinerary department?

To hold a concert tour is to take a platoon of troops to march and fight all over the world.

The logistics of encountering the enemy are far more important than any hand-to-hand combat.

Although it’s not Taylor Swift’s 1989 Tour, a world-class tour that requires the transportation of special pyrotechnic equipment and special effects devices, and rents two cargo planes to perform in other countries, but the [-]-strong Demi Lovato and The complicated preparatory work for the Nick-Jonas joint concert still left Han Yi speechless.

24 accompanying staff are constantly dealing with trivial matters such as ticketing, publicity, media relations, and performance procedures. There are also more than 100 stage staff and a considerable number of security teams in each city.

A one-day concert is so troublesome, and it is self-evident how complicated the workload of the several music festivals he is preparing will be.

[+1 332...2284: Is the tour fun? ]
Looking at the message sent by this string of mobile phone numbers 2 minutes ago, Han Yi seemed to think of something interesting, shook his head, and laughed dumbly.

In order to ensure that the relationship between the two is "casual", Han Yi and Barbara Pavin, who couldn't help but make the sofa unrecognizable when they had breakfast together in the living room, made a quite childish agreement. That is - exchange phone numbers with each other, but don't give notes to each other.

It sounds outrageous, but this may be where Han Yi and Barbara's brainwaves meet and merge.

From the hug and goodbye on June 6, to Han Yi's appearance in Atlanta on June 16.During the two weeks, Barbara and Han Yi did not chat frequently.

Two busy people, each with a fast-rising, star-studded career to worry about.

For Barbara Pavon, not only will there be 26 runway shows of fashion brands in Paris Fashion Week, there will also be two L’Oreal skin care advertisements, the cover of the July issue of In Style Korea, and the cover of the July issue of Elle Hungary. Filming was completed by the end of June.As one of IMG's current cash cows with the strongest ability to attract money, Barbara's schedule has long been scheduled for the New York Fall/Winter Fashion Week in February next year.

As for Han Yi, as the boss, of course he doesn't need to stand in front of the spotlight all the time like a Hungarian supermodel, but his second half of June was equally triumphant and fruitful.

　I wish you all a healthy Dragon Boat Festival, where will you go during the long holiday?
