Chapter Eleven: Re-encountering Jessica

  In the evening, a chilly breeze blew through the car window and caressed Song Tang's face. In this bustling city of Los Angeles, Song Tang's car was not moving very fast. Since the filming location of "Vulgarity" in Los Angeles' Chinatown was not far away, after finishing the first day's shoot, Song Tang chose to go home for the night.

  As the car moved forward slowly, Song Tang couldn't help but think about the interesting things that happened today. Today was his first time shooting a script, and it was inevitable that many rookie mistakes were made, and many jokes were cracked. Even now, Song Tang still found it very funny. However, being a director felt great, wonderful, and Song Tang loved the feeling of being in control on set.

  Just as Song Tang was driving into the city, a young girl suddenly appeared in front of him. Song Tang's eyes lit up and his heart skipped a beat. The girl wore a black tight-fitting down jacket that accentuated her full and slender figure. She had on a pair of dark blue jeans that complemented her long legs and plump buttocks. Her facial features were delicate, with a head of brown hair casually scattered over her shoulders.

  "Huh, why does this face look so familiar." Song Tang carefully sized up the girl who was not far in front of him. No matter how he looked at her, he felt a sense of familiarity. But perhaps because it was getting late, Song Tang couldn't see the girl's face clearly, which made him slowly drive the car to the side of the girl.

  "It was her, I said why did it feel so familiar." Seeing the girl's face again reminded Song Tang of the time he had just arrived in this world, at the "Wild Rose" bar next to Hollywood Studios, where he met a girl who made his heart skip a beat.

  "Delighted to see you again, dear Jessica Alba." Song Tang pulled the car over beside the girl and said through the window.

  Jessica has been very unhappy lately, ever since she ran into that damned Oriental man at the bar half a month ago. Lady Luck seems to have stopped smiling on her. The next day, she was late and got fired by her company. Then, over the next few days, she went to several film companies, but those managers kept staring at her with lustful eyes. Jessica couldn't take that kind of atmosphere and left in a huff. Today, a friend told her about an audition for a role that would be perfect for her, and urged her to go try out. But wouldn't you know it, this morning there was a traffic jam, and by the time she arrived at the scene, they had already cast the role.

  Has the goddess of fortune abandoned herself? Jessica, who has always been optimistic and cheerful, couldn't help but feel a little depressed when facing a series of setbacks. So Jessica came to this bustling street to find some fun for herself and relax her mood.

  Just then, Jessica suddenly heard someone calling her name. Hmm, who was this? She didn't have many friends in Los Angeles, and the voice sounded like a man's. For a moment, Jessica couldn't place the voice. Just as she was thinking, the man's voice rang out again: "Oh! Jessica, how could you not recognize me? This is truly heartbreaking."

  It wasn't until then that Jessica discovered the source of the voice, "Oh my god, it's you, I thought it was..."

  Although Jessica thought that the man in front of her was the source of her bad luck, she still didn't have the heart to give Song Tang a bad look.

  "Jessica, you seem unhappy. Can you tell me why? I'm a very good listener." Song Tang invited Jessica into his car and asked her as he drove slowly forward.

  "Heh, it's fine." Jessica seemed to recall her own bitter experiences over the past half month when she heard Song Tang's question and responded vaguely.

  Although Song Tang and Jessica had only met once, Song Tang really liked the sexy and beautiful girl in front of him, who was also kind and strong. Of course, liking someone didn't mean loving them. But at this moment, when he saw his crush looking distracted and worried, a wave of concern flashed through his mind. So Song Tang quickly comforted her: "Hey Jessica, I think you must have encountered some difficulties at work! Otherwise, the usually cheerful Jessica wouldn't look so troubled. If you consider me as a friend, then you should share your unhappiness with me, maybe I can help."

  Jessica, sitting next to Song Tang, thought for a moment and felt that what Song Tang said was not bad. At this time, she saw the encouraging gaze cast by Song Tang, so Jessica clenched her fists and poured out all the grievances and unpleasantness of these days.

  "Hahaha..." Song Tang couldn't help but burst out laughing after listening to Jessica's story. This Jessica was really too adorable, completely unlike the sexy goddess image of later generations.

  "You're still smiling," Jessica said, punching Song Tang's arm with her fist, causing the car to shake violently, scaring Song Tang into stopping her.

  "Haha, I think it's definitely because beautiful Jessica is too stunning and sexy, that these managers and producers are completely bewildered. I think if beautiful Jessica adds two more poses with character, the effect will be even better." Song Tang joked.

  "I wonder, dear Mr. Song Tang, if the beautiful Miss Jessica will also get lost and can't find her way around." Jessica said in a playful tone, striking a seductive pose in the narrow train compartment, suddenly revealing her sensual body without a doubt.

  "Wow, grandma's, what a mistake! Jessica's figure is already so good at just 17 years old. If she were more mature, she might really be able to mesmerize people." When Song Tang saw Jessica strike this pose, his heart suddenly felt a wave of heat. Song Tang quickly covered up his own loss of composure, but in his heart there was an evil voice that kept urging him on: I must get her, she belongs to me!

  "Hehe!" Jessica burst out laughing, covering her face with her hands, as soon as she saw Song Tang's flustered appearance. Her previous gloominess was swept away in an instant. The radiant and charming Jessica from before had returned.

  "Thank you so much, Song, I feel a lot better now." Jessica said gratefully.

  "No need to be polite, we're friends, aren't we, Jessica?" Song Tang said seriously.

  "Yes! We are friends."

  "Now beautiful Miss Jessica is in a good mood, I'd like to invite beautiful Miss Jessica to dinner tonight, but I don't know if she will grant me the honor."

  "Of course, I'd be delighted if someone would treat me to a meal!"

  When Jessica agreed to his invitation, Song Tang suddenly felt a wave of joy in his heart. However, Song Tang still called home and explained to his mother that he wouldn't be coming back for dinner.

  After Song Tang hung up the phone, under Jessica's somewhat expectant gaze, he drove the car and started heading towards their destination.

  At this time, in the Song family villa, Liu Ying, who had just hung up the phone, put down the phone and exclaimed with joy: "My son called me to say that he won't be coming home for dinner tonight."

  "What's gotten into you? Just this little thing and you're so thrilled!" Song Yaohui retorted, seeing his wife so delighted.

  "Do you know? Our son isn't coming home for dinner tonight, it's because there's a girl next to him. I don't know what she looks like, but her voice sounds very sweet. Our son is 18 years old, he's finally opened his eyes! Liu Ying said with joy, but then Liu Ying added: "This must be the girlfriend our son found, let's have him bring her back home one day to take a look."

  "Oh? Is that so, my grandson used to worry me a lot in the past, now he finally has a girlfriend, I don't know when he'll give me a great-grandchild." On the side, Old Man Song Yuanqiao also chimed in, this traditionally-minded old man had always believed in the saying "there are three things that are unfilial, having no descendants is the worst", now seeing his grandson finally have a girlfriend, how could he not be delighted? So that night, the old man who had abstained from alcohol for a long time brought out his treasured Guizhou Maotai which he had stored away for decades and drank two cups.

  Song Tang's father, Song Yao Hui, seeing his wife and father behaving in such a manner, couldn't help but smile wryly for a moment: these eight characters haven't even been written yet.

  If Song Tang knew that because of this phone call, his mother and grandfather had determined that Jessica was his future daughter-in-law, he would have no idea what to think. However, all of these were things that Song Tang could not know at the moment.
