Chapter 149: Christmas and Summer Monthly Pass)

The next day, after exercising early in the morning, Ryan began to be busy. Since Christmas is coming, he had to set up some things. Fortunately, not long after, Antonia Kidman found a coolie, her current boyfriend.

"Hello, Ryan, I didn't expect to see you here."

The one who was shaking hands with Ryan was a young white man in his twenties. He had a gentle and humble attitude, but his career made Ryan sensitive, a reporter.

"Hello, Mr. Claude, then... I'll leave it to you."

Ryan was not polite to him at all, and pointed to the living room very simply, and there was a Christmas tree on the other side.

"no problem."

It was a good coolie. Ryan clapped his hands and sat on the sofa in the living room. Seeing the person who was commanded by two women, he couldn't help but feel like watching a stage play.

In the past, at Christmas, there were only Ryan and Nicole. They were not the ones who cared about this kind of thing. They just gave each other a small gift and had a pretty sumptuous Christmas Eve dinner.

Sometimes, I have to attend some dinners and be busy with my own work.

If there are more people, it will naturally be more lively. A Christmas tree more than one person tall stands in the living room. The colorful lights are shining with dazzling lights. There are white snow dressed in cotton under the tree, and there are many gift boxes buried in it.

Christmas in the northern hemisphere is often inseparable from ice and snow. Unfortunately, Sydney is in early summer, and it is too difficult to see snowflakes... well, it is too difficult.

Even so, Ryan saw several Santa Claus walking through the window, giving gifts to the children coming and going, just wearing red clothes and beards, sweating like rain. It was really weird.

Among them, there are alternative Santa Claus wearing sunglasses, shorts, and naked upper body. This scene is indeed strange.

"This is nothing. If you go to the beach now, you can see a lot of surfing Santa Claus." Claude introduced some strange stories about Australians celebrating Christmas to Ryan.

"In Australia, the best Christmas gift for parents to give their children is a small set of water. Surfing in the sea on Christmas is a custom. Many people choose to have a picnic on Christmas Eve. After eating and drinking, they will dance disco or kangaroo dance. If they are tired, they will lie down on the grass and fall asleep."

"It's really special to celebrate Christmas in summer." Ryan felt a little strange when he was blowing the air conditioner.

For Ryan, it was like celebrating the Spring Festival in the scorching sun. In his previous life, the Spring Festival was not a test of the cold winter, and it was under the test of ice and snow.

"Okay, stop talking about it, our dinner is about to begin, hurry up and arrange it."

In addition to her boyfriend, Antonia also invited some single men and women. Not many people came to the banquet, there were always a few.

As the sun fell lower and lower, the sound of cars always sounded in front of the door, and young men and women in beautiful clothes walked into the lawn in front of the yard.

Among them are Antonia's friends and Nike's acquaintances, but these guys' eyes lit up after seeing Ryan. Australia is one of the dumping places in Hollywood, and it is obvious that his reputation has long been here.

The dinner was buffet style, with the long dining table filled with food carefully prepared by the Kidman sisters. It surrounded the lawn, and seven or eight small white tables were arranged in an orderly manner, and there was soothing music on the record machine on the other side.

"Ryan. This is your first time in Australia? Why don't you come to Sydney when you premiere promotion?" The question was a young man, who was said to be Nicole and their old neighbor.

"It will definitely happen in the future." Ryan socialized. Over the past few years, he has had quite good communication skills.

"Hello. Ryan, I'm Nicole's classmate."

A blonde woman came over, and Ryan shook her hand gently.

There were a lot of people, about seven or eight people, all young people, and many of them were people in the entertainment industry. These people were either surrounded by Nicole or gathered around Ryan to inquire about the situation in Hollywood.

This is normal. Australia has a sparse population and a limited entertainment market. Most Australian stars who become famous will choose the same path - to Hollywood.

Ryan also knew this very well. The Australian Gang was a very influential circle in Hollywood in his previous life. Although they also had conflicts with each other, they would unite and make the same voice when facing external pressure, and should not be underestimated.

Now in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman is one of the most famous Australian movie stars.

After finally sending a few people, Ryan didn't want to be a panda anymore, so he simply walked to Nicole and used her as a shield.

"You and Anne's friends are so enthusiastic." Ryan said as Nicole looked over.

"Most of them are Anne's friends. I've been away from Australia for too long and I don't have many friends here."

Nicole stood by the grill, flipping the barbecue, and the scented scent brought an attractive scent.

"Isn't it done yet?" Ryan was a little anxious.

"Ryan, patience is a virtue."

"Come on, Nicole, I'm so hungry that I can eat a whole roasted lamb."

Ryan took the fork and poked the roasted lamb leg meat gently, obviously he was really hungry.

"Wow, should I thank God for being able to eat the barbecue made by Hollywood stars?"

A young man came over, and it was their neighbor. Nicole hummed, "Sorry, Paul, this is Ryan's supper. If you want to eat, do it yourself."

“This is unfair…”

Nicole was too lazy to take care of the guy anymore, put the barbecue into the tray, pulled Ryan up and walked to a small table, and sat down.

"Ignore that guy. After so many years, he has not made any progress at all." Nicole said casually.

"Um……"

Ryan took the tray, sliced ​​the barbecue and put it into two plates, pushing one of them in front of Nicole.

"You've been busy, eat some now," he said.

Nicole's mouth curled up slightly, her eyes curled up, and she took a pair of knife and fork and two glasses of juice.

But just after a while, someone came over again. This time it was the blonde woman. She seemed to be an acquaintance with Ni. After saying hello, she sat straight on another chair. Nicole had no choice but to put down the knife and fork.

Ryan couldn't help but frown. Can't they let someone finish the dinner? Besides, the owner here is Antonia Kidman. Strictly speaking, he and Nicole are both guests.

"Nicole, after the New Year, I plan to go to Hollywood to develop. Can I provide me with some advice?" the other party asked.

It's really troublesome! Ryan sighed, not planning to get involved, and buried himself in eating his barbecue.

"My suggestions?" Nicole seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally told the truth, "It would be better to make a certain reputation here and then go to Hollywood. That way there will be more opportunities."

The woman shook her head and continued, "I have been a model, filmed TV series, and participated in some shows. I don't know why, but I keep..."

She made a helpless gesture.

Nicole knew that Hollywood was even more helpless. A newcomer who had no fame and no support was not ordinary difficulty to make a name for himself. When she took on "The Sixth Sense", she was not only a household name in Australia, but also had many female stars. Even so, if it weren't for Ryan's role, it would be hard to say whether she could get that role.

"Nicole, let's go to performance school together..."

The two of them whispered, and Ryan took a look, Nicole seemed helpless.

"Let me do this, I have your connections, if there is a suitable role. I would recommend you."

Although Nicole said this, based on Ryan's understanding of her, this was just a ruling statement. Seeing that the blonde woman was about to speak again, Ryan knocked on the empty plate, "Nicole, I'm not full, can I roast a steak for me again?"

"Feel sorry."

After pushing the barbecue in front of him, Nicole got up and walked towards the grill.

Originally, Ryan and Nicole came to Australia to spend a quiet holiday. This banquet broke the tranquility, but this was a banquet called by Nicole's sister, and Ryan couldn't say anything.

The most popular TV host, Antonia's friends are mostly people in the same circle, and she has a natural yearning for Hollywood...

The banquet lasted very late. When the show ended, several people invited Ryan and Nicole to attend the wild banquet dance, but they were politely rejected.

After being a panda for half a night, neither he nor Nicole wanted to continue to be watched.

Seeing the guests away, Ryan had to take out the tools and prepare to clean up briefly. Apart from him, there were two ladies here, and they always had to be a bit manly.

"Okay, Ryan, stop cleaning. It's too late. You should go and rest." Nicole stopped him, "Just ask the cleaning company to clean tomorrow."

"Oh well."

Back in the room, Ryan took a shower and just lay down on the bed, he heard a light knock on the door. Then Nicole walked in, holding a gift box in his hand.

"Wow, is this a Christmas present? Nicole, why are you not wearing a Santa outfit?" Ryan sat up.

"Is there any Santa Claus as beautiful as me?" She handed over the gift box.

"What's this?"

As he asked, Ryan had quickly opened the gift box, a very simple gift, a lucky stone.

"Good night, Ryan." Nicole was about to leave, but Ryan took out a box from under the pillow and handed it over, "Wait, Nicole, this is my gift to you."

Slowly opening the box, Nicole covered her mouth in disbelief. There was a fancy necklace inside, in platinum texture, and a pendant with broken diamonds inlaid below. Behind the pendant was a line of letters - Ryan Jenkins.

She has seen this necklace many times, and most of the time it is hung on her photo frame in Ryan's room. But she didn't expect that this necklace that had a different meaning to him would... give it to herself.
