Little Red Riding Hood Knocks

The next day.

weekend.

Because Juno and I spent most of the night researching and analyzing, the pressure on the Amazing Amy was greatly reduced, and the motivation to write day and night also disappeared.

He calculated that, according to the detailed outline Juno had given him, the entire novel about the Gone Girl would be around 400,000 to 500,000 words.

At a rate of 10,000 words a day, it can be finished in a month and a half.

The revenge in the movie looks so cruel and swift because it omits large periods of time, sometimes measured in seasons or even years.

Even if Amazing Amy wanted to take revenge on him, she would need more time to plan it; it wouldn't be something that could be done in a month or two.

Therefore, there is still plenty of time.

According to Juno's analysis, no matter how Amazing Amy plans to retaliate, further contact with him is inevitable.

With this warning signal in place, when the Amazing Amy reappears in his sight, it will be the moment he knows he was warned!

Having figured this out, when Max woke up and bothered him early in the morning, Adam did a vigorous morning workout, and then the two of them went back to sleep, sleeping until after ten o'clock.

After getting up and washing up, the four of them went to the restaurant for a famous brunch.

I heard this is a characteristic of wealthy areas.

The wealthier people are, the more vibrant their nightlife becomes, and the later they go to bed, with many staying up until the early hours of the morning.

The opposite of going to bed early and waking up early is going to bed late and waking up late.

At this point, what's a better time than a good night's sleep?

I woke up late and missed breakfast. It was still a while before lunch, and my stomach started rumbling, so I decided to eat anyway.

This mealtime, which is neither early nor late, has evolved into brunch.

Besides its regional characteristics, this brunch is also perfect for couples.

Couples often end up exhausted from fighting at night, and staying in bed is practically a tradition, especially among younger couples in the throes of new love.

Nothing more!

I'm so tired!

Adam remembers that during his university years in his previous life, his girlfriend lived in a neighboring city. Every time he met her, he would almost always stay in the hotel and not go out, often for the entire weekend.

He talks about going out to play, but he's too lazy to actually do it.

Taking a walk on campus counts as going out for fun.

I go for a walk in the park, at most once a month...

Back then, there was no concept of brunch; we would just eat some snacks to fill our stomachs and wait for a big meal at noon.

Being with MAX now feels a bit like my university days in my past life, which is quite interesting.

These two factors combined mean that young couples in love in big cities are the main consumer group for brunch.

And this group is precisely the one most willing to spend money.

Therefore, more and more restaurants in big cities are starting to offer brunch services.

There are even restaurants famous for their brunch.

It's best not to eat alone in places like this, because you'll be bombarded with displays of affection from couples.

For example, Marshall, who is still a senior at Columbia University, loves having brunch with Lily the most because they are so in love that getting up early is almost impossible.

During the period after their breakup, Marshall went to their favorite brunch restaurant, but became extremely sensitive to what the waiters said, to the point that he never went there again.

When the waiter asked him if he was alone, he saw it as a pitying sigh, and the groups of couples in the restaurant were an eyesore.

However, he had gotten so used to eating brunch there that he really liked the restaurant's brunch that he eventually asked a friend to go and eat there, risking being misunderstood.

Adam and his group of four, in two pairs, could easily go for brunch.

After eating.

Adam wasn't really in the mood to continue exploring Boston. After a quick look around, he took Max and flew back to New York.

Juno and Karen took Adam and Max to the airport.

On the airplane.

"Juno and Karen are both doing well."

After MAX sat down, he said with some emotion.

"Hi!"

Adam cried out in 'grievance', 'I am right here!'

"Are you afraid they'll turn me gay?"

MAX laughed and said, "Don't worry, if I could be gay, I would have been long ago. It's not like I've never been with a woman before."

"..."

Adam's lips twitched, speechless.

Max's past has always been a mystery. Adam only knows that her past is unbearable to recall, so he never asks, lest he tear open the wounds in her heart.

Some wounds can heal, like the shadows in Chandler's heart.

But some wounds can never be healed; they can only be buried deep in the heart and never touched again, like Max's past.

Max's occasional utterances are often difficult to verify, but one thing is certain: these shocking and jaw-dropping experiences are definitely not all made up.

Some of them may have been things she had seen, but most of them were probably her own personal experiences.

So even though Adam really wanted to gossip about the details of how this woman tried to turn Max gay, he held back.

Are Juno and Karen really lesbians?

MAX asked curiously.

What do you think?

Adam shrugged.

"Karen definitely is."

MAX thought for a moment and said, "But I'm not so sure about Juno."

"What's there to be unsure about?"

Adam laughed.

"The way she looks at you."

Max looked at Adam meaningfully. "I have a feeling that it's not just the way he looks at his good friend."

"Um?"

Adam was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Indeed, we're more than just good friends, we're best buddies. If I get married in the future, I'll most likely ask her to be my best man."

"Hehe."

MAX just smiled and said nothing more.

The plane took off and soared into the sky.

Adam gazed at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, lost in thought about humanity's remarkable achievements—from the ground to the sky, and then to outer space...

The Amazing Amy House.

"Dad, Mom, I think your idea of developing my career in New York is a great one."

Amazing Amy laughed and said, "Although Boston is also a cultural center, it can't compare to New York, the economic and cultural center. Our Dunn Family should have a broader stage."

"You've finally figured it out."

The old woman said with relief, "Actually, your father and I started preparing a long time ago. Since you agree, let's officially enter New York Dunn Family."

Amazing Amy ignored the fact that her parents didn't care about her choices at all and smiled and nodded.

"It seems to be the power of love."

The old woman looked at the Amazing Amy, a knowing look flashing in her eyes, and teased, "Is it that handsome young man Adam Duncan who has captured our precious daughter's heart?"

Before Amazing Amy answer, the old woman had already made her decision. "Go ahead, your parents support you. Go and have a wonderful romance. Remember to share the details with us when you're done."

Clearly, she didn't care about her daughter's happiness at all; she just wanted to use this opportunity to collect more authentic material so that she could provide a more beautiful version of her real daughter, the Amazing Amy in the book.

"You won't be disappointed."

Amazing Amy's eyes narrowed, and she smiled faintly.

More than two weeks later.

late at night.

After attending yet another round of farewell parties, which she had been attending recently, Amazing Amy, shuffling in her high heels, arrived at the empty parking lot and got into her car.

Knock knock knock!

A knocking sound came from the window, startling her. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw two red figures standing by the car window, smiling at her...
