"...I rushed over and taught him a lesson, telling him that this is a professional arena, not a college for children to play. For God's sake, why every year when rookies enter training camp, there are always one or two idiots!"

The summer sunset came relatively late, and it was already past eight o'clock, but the red sunset still did not sink completely. The bright colors projected from the cloudless sky to the surface of the sea, reflecting a bright light, just like the magical world in Alice's dream.

Venice, located in Santa Monica, was still noisy at this time. People who had just finished their day of beach vacation left the warm sea one after another, and walked barefoot on the street near the sea with their surfboards, beach balls, volleyballs, bath towels and sand all over their feet, surging and boiling.

Gao Wen danced and talked endlessly; Lance stood on one side and listened intently, and replied from time to time, "Because the same is true for your first year in the league from university?"

This made Gao Wen stunned, and then clapped his hands and laughed, "It makes sense! It makes sense!"

"Lance." A shout came from the crowd, which made both Gaowen and Lance stop subconsciously and look back. "Lance!" A man waved his hand and successfully attracted Lance's gaze.

The man was about six feet tall, wearing a black suit with a dark blue shirt, and a tailor-made style perfectly outlined his wide shoulders and narrow waist; his spiritual short golden hair was combed neatly, revealing his handsome face, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and thin lips. Everything seemed just right on the narrow face with sharp lines. The whole body exuded an elite atmosphere, and the unrestrained smile burst out with a male charm that was comparable to the sunset.

The man had just walked out of the passenger seat of a royal blue sports car. There was a beauty in the driver's seat. The woman was wearing a royal blue shirt and a black suit, which set off an indescribable intellectuality and freshness. It was not amazing, but it made people want to savor it carefully. Her long soft golden hair was released, adding a touch of lazy and casual charm.

The man stood by the driver's seat, lowered his head and said a few words to the beauty, and then the two of them tangled and kissed each other. Then the man waved goodbye. The beauty restarted the engine and moved forward again. When passing by Gao Wen and Lance, the beauty deliberately slowed down a little, showed a light smile, nodded slightly to the two people, expressed her greetings, and then stepped on the accelerator and left.

The man walked towards Gaowen and Lance in a steady and orderly manner. The slow pace was filled with confidence, which made people unable to help but look at him. Many bikini girls who had just returned from the beach boldly threw their eyes at him. The man had a polite but direct smile on his face, and also responded to the other person's look. Not only did he not look frivolous, but his direct and generous appreciation in his eyes made the girls' silver bell-like laughter spill all over the ground.

The man first hugged Gao Wen with a passionate hug. Gao Wen hit the other person's back hard again. The banging sound almost made people feel that a man would vomit blood in the next second. However, the man's expression did not change at all. He let go of Gao Wen and then gave Lance a big hug.

"Hey, little guy, long time no see." The man hugged Lance, then gently retracted his hands, and his words were filled with tenderness. After letting Lance go, he looked up and down, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "I've lost weight. It seems that the company has pushed you hard work recently, and you've been busy all day and night. Maybe I should go to your company to inspect what other waste is doing."

"Yes, that's it! I feel the same way!" Gao Wen immediately started to cheer up when he heard this, "Ian, when will you go? Add me!" As he said, Gao Wen started to sway his fingers, and the crisp sound was quite intimidating.

The man in front of him is Ian Strelow, Lance's second brother.

Looking at Ian's smile and teasing expression, Lance knew that he was not joking. He chuckled and nodded, "Maybe I can really use your help." As soon as this sentence was said, Ian immediately noticed the deep meaning of Lance's words. The green eyes narrowed slightly, and the lazy eyes like cats released an indescribable sense of danger. Lance patted Ian's arm, "Go in and have a meal first, I'm hungry."

Lance took the lead and took a step forward. Ian's eyes flashed and he followed Gao Wen, "Ian, was that Kathryn-Morris just now?" Lance asked.

The woman sitting in the sports car just now was extremely charming. Lance recognized it at a glance. It was Catherine, an actress who has taken on super-large works such as "Minority Report" and "Artificial Intelligence" in the past two years. Although she has never been able to become famous, she has a superb temperament and is a rare beauty.

Ian shrugged slightly, "Yes, I met at a charity party before, and I dated a few times after that, and it felt pretty good." After that, Ian ignored the two people who looked at each other and smiled, directly pushed open the door of the restaurant in front of him, walked in first, and then held the door, waiting for Gao Wen and Lance to enter, and then closed the door.

"Good evening, Mr. Strello." Jake Newman, the on-duty manager standing at the reception, saw the three brothers in front of him, and the smile on his face suddenly burst out. "Mr. Theodore Strello has arrived, let me lead you to the reservation." Obviously, Jack is very familiar with this situation.

After Gao Wen entered the NFL, he had to compete in leagues everywhere every year, and Theo and Ian needed to work, and Lance went to London to study, and the four brothers had less and less time to get together and became more and more uncertain. Therefore, after 1992, before the start of the new rugby season every year, the four brothers would inevitably meet once, which has become their tradition.

This restaurant in "Roberto Gardens" on Venice beach is a traditional Italian restaurant. From decoration to menu, it is full of rich Italian local style. It is not expensive, but the atmosphere is very comfortable. Most importantly, the seafood here is excellent - Reims' favorite is seafood, so the four brothers have been gatherings here every year since 1997.

Following Jack's pace, you can see Theo sitting majestic at the table from afar, wearing a well-behaved dark gray suit and a white shirt. The round brown inch made his face look a bit tough, like an ancient Greek statue chiseled with a knife and an axe. The ice-blue eyes were quiet and cold, and the sharpness between his eyebrows was like an ice blade in the cold winter, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura of not entering.

When he noticed the visitor, Theo raised his head and raised his right hand to wave it. The tight face lines eased everything invisibly, making people notice that the bitter breath eased.

Looking at Theo like this, Lance was in a bit of a mixed mood.

In his previous life, because he was worried about being discovered and replaced by his soul, he tried his best to escape from his family's approach, but he unknowingly deeply hurt these people who supported him unconditionally, and even gradually alienated them. Only after the memories were completely integrated did he truly understand the meaning of these family members, and that deep regret was even more heart-wrenching.

It is no exaggeration to say that if theo, Ian and Govin, Lance's fragile and tender life would have long died in the high fever that winter, and it would have been even less likely to survive in the hands of the adoptive parents who were bored/alcoholic and drug-absorbing. If theo had not turned the tide, after both of the despicable adoptive parents, they would have been destroyed in the torrent of the foster family system, scattered around the world and disappeared; if theo and Ian had not supported the responsibilities of the guardian with their young shoulders, let alone receiving higher education and realizing their dreams, they would have been completely devastated in the fights and depravity on the streets - even losing their lives.

The three people in front of him are not only his family, but also his lifelong bond and reliance.

"Lance?" Theo stood up and hugged his three younger brothers respectively, but he immediately noticed that there was an indescribable miscellaneous in Lance's blue eyes.

Lance originally thought that he had covered up the surging emotions in his heart very well, and it could even be said to be perfect, but he was still seen through by Theo, which made him feel a little embarrassed. "It's okay, it's just that Gao Wen has been beating me just now. I want to vomit blood now." Lance suppressed the excitement and sorrow that surged in his eyes and said seriously.

"Hey! Lance!" Gao Wen had just sat down and jumped up immediately. As a result, Theo glanced lightly, all his arrogance suddenly subsided. He could only mutter to himself, "I didn't, I didn't use force deliberately, so it wouldn't hurt at all..."

Ian sat down opposite Gao Wen, slowly opened the napkin, and said slowly, "You'd better stop complaining, otherwise the right to order food will be given to Lance." One sentence made Gao Wen shut up immediately, and his rough face turned red. Ian ignored Gao Wen and smiled at Jack standing next to him, "Please give us the menu, okay?"

Jack skillfully handed the menu to four people, and then smiled, "So is the red wine still the same?"

Ian moved his eyes from the menu, "No, today I will give us the 1982 Fort Latour today. After Andre recommended it to us last time, I couldn't forget it." Andre Roberto, the owner of this restaurant.

Jack showed a warm smile, "Excellent choice, Mr. Roberto will be very happy." After that, he turned around and left.

Ian quickly finished reading the menu, then looked up and chatted casually, "Lance, I called your company yesterday and they said that you and Percy both left. Is something going on?"
