[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

It took Kronos some time to realize that the person on the other end of the phone was Tom. He frowned and replied, "Lea just came back, wait, I'll call her right away." Tom agreed, and Ke Lonos put the receiver next to the phone and went upstairs to call Aglaia.

In all fairness, Cronus is not really annoying to Tom. It should be said that Cronus actually appreciates an optimistic and cheerful person like Tom, but, because of Aglaia, Cronus I really don't like Tom.

Intellectually, he knew that all of this had nothing to do with Tom. It wasn't that Aglaia liked Tom, so Tom had to give the same response. But emotionally, he couldn't stop himself from being wronged by Aglaia.

Isn't this human nature, we take it for granted that we favor the person who holds more weight in our hearts, it has nothing to do with reason, logic, what the heart wants, that's all.

Kronos walked to the door of Aglaia, knocked on the door, and called Aglaia. After a while, he heard Aglaia say "Come in".

He pushed open the door, and said to Aglaia who had just changed into home clothes and was having her hair cut, "Your Tom called you." Aglaia was delighted when she heard this, and she got up and went out again. He couldn't help rebutting aloud: "North, don't you mention Tom so weirdly every time, just call him by his name."

Kronos didn't answer, raised his eyebrows, and went back to the room without saying anything.Aglaia trotted to the living room, picked up the phone, and said cheerfully into the microphone: "Hey, Tom, I'm sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" Tom smiled: "It's okay, Leia, I didn't wait It's been a long time. By the way, Leia, I'm back in London."

Aglaia couldn't help but smiled and said, "Really? That's great, will you stay here for a while?" Tom said, "I won't stay for too long. I will come back after a while." Into the set."

The originally bright smile on Aglaia's face dimmed slightly, and she said, "Oh, that's good, it means that Tom's career is getting smoother now, and more directors want to work with you Yes, that's a good thing."

Tom was vaguely aware of Aglaia's depression, and he wanted to say something to comfort the girl, but suddenly he didn't know what position he should take, and what to say, so he had no choice but to change the topic and said: "Leia, I'm You're at home, or I'll come to LoveHouse to see you before dinner is over."

Just as Aglaia was about to respond, she thought of the media that had been wandering around the LoveHouse recently. Although the number of media that came in the past few days has been much less than before, I still see one or two occasionally.

For the sake of caution, Aglaia didn't want the media to photograph Tom's visit. She was afraid that the media would make nonsense and cause trouble for Tom.So after thinking about it, she said, "Let me come to your house to see you. I'll come over after dinner."

Tom didn't think too much, and quickly agreed.After dinner, Aglaia and Maia washed the dishes together, gave instructions to his younger siblings, and then rode out on a bicycle.Maybe it was time for dinner, and there were no media outside the door, so Aglaia rode to Tom's house with confidence.

Tom opened the door for her and gave the girl a warm welcome hug.He is thinner again, and his hair is shorter than before. He is wearing a simple black graffiti short-sleeved T-shirt. His solid arms are wrapped around Aglaia's back, and the side of his face is against Aglaia's right cheek. , The warm breath hit the side of Aglaia's neck little by little.

She felt a little dizzy, reached out and grabbed the back of Tom's T-shirt tightly, and whispered: "Welcome back, Tom." Tom smiled and patted Aglaia's back twice, and let go of his arms, the girl His hand also released with a little reluctance, and withdrew from his arms.

Tom smiled and helped her by the shoulder, and led her into the door.They sat down on the sofa. Tom picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table, unscrewed it and handed it to Aglaia. Aglaia took it after thanking her with a smile, opened the lid and took a small sip.

Tom twisted another bottle of water in his hand, and said, "I've seen your audition, Leia, and you sing very well." Aglaia paused, and Tom said, "It's just, Leia , Why did you encounter such a big difficulty, but didn't tell me at all, aren't we friends? Marisa is also an elder I respect very much, you can tell me."

Aglaia lowered her head slightly, stroking the mineral water bottle with her hands unconsciously, and said, "I just don't want you to worry too, Tom. Your life in Hollywood should not be easy, so I hope you can concentrate on doing it." What you want to do, don't want you to be disturbed by other things. Marisa will be fine, and we will be fine, so don't worry, I can take care of it."

Tom rubbed the top of the girl's hair, and said half helplessly and half dissatisfied: "Leia, you are too good, you are a girl, you have the right to act coquettishly, don't always treat yourself as a Like a fighter, it hurts that you pushed yourself so hard."

Aglaia's heart was instantly melted by this simple sentence, and she suddenly wanted to ask Tom: What about you?Will you feel sorry for me?

But she still didn't ask, she just stretched out her hand, gently pulled Tom's hand off her head, held it briefly, and then let go.

She raised her head and smiled at him, and said softly: "It's really okay, Tom, I'm actually very strong, and I'm not afraid."

I don't know who said that sometimes, the more guilty a person is, the more he will tell others and himself that he is strong and fearless.It's like self-hypnosis, like if you tell too many lies, sometimes even yourself will be deceived.Aglaia may be a strong girl, but she is by no means an invincible girl.

If you are interested in biology, you will find a wonderful thing - those creatures that have grown a stiff outer shell all have an inner that is too soft.Such as snails, such as turtles, such as pangolins, etc. [Note 1].

These hard-shelled animals often lack other defenses, so they must rely on this rigid shell as their last line of defense to protect their deadly softness from being threatened.

Aglaia made Tom think of these animals, even though she emphasized her strength to Tom in every possible way, and created a strong appearance for herself.Tom still felt the fear and uneasiness dormant in the girl's heart.

Tom didn't know how he could see into the girl's heart as if he had a heart-to-heart connection. He suddenly understood that the girl was afraid, but she tried her best not to show her fear, because she needed stability. Hold on, she needs to hold on, if she shows weakness, she is afraid that she will be defeated.

Tom's heart was filled with dense pain. Except for his mother and sisters [Note 2], there had never been a girl who would move Tom's heart so much like Aglaia.

He inexplicably recalled a sentence from the ancient Greek statesman Pericles that he read when he was in college: "A truly brave person is the one who knows the happiness and disasters of life best, and then goes forward bravely and takes responsibility." The person who caused the accident that will happen in the future.”

Tom thought that Aglaia might be such a person, she also had fear in her heart, and she knew what she was going to face, and she knew that even if she worked hard, it might be difficult to keep Marisa's life, but she still had no hesitation She did it with all her heart, she is a true brave.

Facing the smiling Aglaia, Tom, who is usually good at expressing himself, didn't know what else to say for a moment. After a while, he said: "Leia, do you have time tomorrow? Take me with you Just look at Marisa."

Aglaia nodded and said: "Okay, I don't have class tomorrow morning, I will call you then." Tom also agreed, and asked again: "By the way, Leia, your next game What time is it?"

Aglaia counted the time silently, and replied: "I am the third game of the semi-finals, it should be five days later. Actually, I don't know the bottom line, I don't know what song I should choose."

Tom was a little surprised, and said, "Have you not chosen a song yet? Leia, what kind of song do you want to choose?" Aglaia pursed her lips in distress, and said hesitantly, "I also I can’t tell, it’s probably the kind of song that is beautiful but not lacking in power, but I don’t want to sing that kind of ethereal song, because it will collide with another contestant in the same period.”

Tom frowned and said: "Leia, this restriction is too general. If you choose songs like this, the scope is too wide." Aglaia smiled embarrassedly and said: "I know, too. Tom, but I have no idea about song selection, I also asked Kronos and Maia, and they couldn't give me advice, so my song selection has been uncertain for a long time, and I am also very troubled."

Because he didn't want the girl to continue to look worried, Tom said: "Don't worry, Leia, I will help you. I will think with you. I have heard a lot of songs. I will try to think of songs that meet your conditions." oh."

As he said that, Tom really rubbed his chin and began to think. Aglaia saw him thinking of songs for her so seriously, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, and then she thought about it together.

They were silent together for more than ten minutes, but they still couldn't think of a reason. Tom, who was actually a bit jumpy by nature, scratched his head helplessly, and said, "Oh my God, this is really a big problem. My brain can't figure it out at all now." What song suits me!"

Aglaia didn't want to make Tom worry too much because of her own affairs, so she patted Tom's arm and said, "Tom, forget it, don't worry, I'll go back and think about it slowly."

Tom's desire to do something well came back. He shook his head and said, "No, we can definitely figure it out. Let me think about it." After thinking for a few minutes, Tom suddenly got up and walked away. Go to the TV, open a drawer of the TV cabinet, and search for it.

Aglaia got up curiously and leaned over, seeing that there were many video discs in that drawer, she asked in puzzlement, "Tom, what are you looking for?"

Tom buried his head in the search, and answered over and over again: "I'm trying to get inspiration from these DVDs. Apart from books, these DVDs are the most in my house. You know that many classic songs have been released in many movies. Let me try." , I think I can definitely think of it. Come on, you can also see if there is anything suitable."

Aglaia followed Tom, sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the TV cabinet, and took out the DVDs to check.Tom's idea worked soon. When he saw a video, he suddenly laughed heartily. Then he picked up the box of video, held it up to Aglaia, and said happily, "Aha! Ya, I see, you look at this."

Aglaia's eyes followed, and she saw two big bold words on the DVD box Tom was holding up: "Pearl Harbor" [Note 3].Aglaia suddenly realized, and the next second, she and Tom shouted in unison: ""There You Will Be"!"【Note 4】

The two looked at each other and smiled, his gray-blue eyes looked directly at her cornflower blue pupils, there was a kind of unspoken happiness and tacit understanding, which slowly diffused from the intertwined sight.

Aglaia's heart trembled, an impulse drove her to sit up on her knees, she leaned over and hugged Tom, and whispered in his ear: "Thank you, Tom, thank you." Tom put his arms around the girl and smiled softly : "You're welcome, Darling, it's my honor to help you."

Early the next morning, after Tom met downstairs, Aglaia took Tom to the hospital to visit Marisa.Tom bought some fruit downstairs in the hospital and prepared to give it to Marisa.

When they arrived, Marisa was getting warm water from the nurse and preparing to take her medicine.Seeing Aglaia and Tom walk in, Marisa was very happy. She greeted with a smile: "Oh, Tom, you're back in London?! Long time no see. How is work going?"

Compared with the last reunion, Marisa lost a lot of weight, and her whole body seemed to be full of muscles and bones, and she looked extremely fragile. Tom felt a little sad in his heart, but he didn't want to show any traces.

So he smiled and said to Marisa: "Yes, my dear lady, I am doing well and my work is going smoothly. But you look a little bit unwell. I hope you can get well soon, not in London In my days, I miss your cream puffs day and night!"
