[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

Not long after Aglaia knocked on the door, Tom opened the door for her, and the two walked into the room together, and then Aglaia saw the big black suitcase placed next to the shoe cabinet.

She froze for a moment, looked sideways at Tom, and asked softly, "Tom, are you leaving London?" Tom stroked Aglaia's blond hair and smiled, "Yes, it's time for me to enter the filming crew , the plane at two o'clock in the morning today."

Aglaia's eyes slowly dimmed. She lowered her head and remained silent for a while before saying, "Oh, then, Tom, will you still watch my finals?"

Tom said: "Yes, of course I will. Even if I join the crew, I will definitely watch your finals online. Leia, come on, I believe you will be able to."

Only then did Aglaia smile, and she said: "Okay, I will work hard, you should also pay attention to safety when you are filming outside, and take care of yourself." She wanted to say don't forget that someone cares about you, but then I thought it would be too intimate to say this, and I was afraid that Tom would notice it, so I finally didn't say it.

The way the girl raised her head and entrusted him earnestly made Tom feel a little funny and heart-warming. He put his arm around Aglaia's shoulders, gave her a light hug, and said, "Okay, darling, I'll take care of you." My own. By the way, didn’t you say you want to borrow the piano? Let’s go.”

As he said that, he took Aglaia to the piano in the corner of the living room, and the girl let go of the disappointment in her heart and continued with the revisions she had not yet completed.Tom went into the kitchen to make two cups of tea, and came over with the cups. He put one of the cups on the piano, and drank the other cup, watching Aglaia play the piano.

As he listened, he suddenly said, "Huh? It's such a familiar song. What's the name of this song? Why can't I remember it all at once? What song is it?"

Seeing his frowning and thinking hard, Aglaia was about to tell him, but Tom stopped Aglaia with a gesture, and said: "Don't tell me, don't tell me! Let me think about it, I must Can think of!"

Aglaia looked amused, this Tom, sometimes he is like a child, in order to help Tom remember this song, she simply played the original version of the song, halfway through, Tom finally remembered Now, he said happily: "Ah! I remember, it's "Angel", right?"

Aglaia nodded with a smile, and Tom immediately smiled like a kid who got his favorite candy.Aglaia asked softly, "Tom, do you want to play with me?"

Tom thought for a while, and readily agreed. He put down his teacup, sat down next to Aglaia with great interest, and moved his fingers.Aglaia said, "Later when I say start, we'll play together, shall we?"

Tom nodded with a smile, and the two tapped their fingers on the keyboard together, Aglaia: "OK, 3, 2, 1, start!" As soon as the voice fell, the two hands landed on the keyboard at the same time, and played together. After reading "Angel", Tom has also learned the piano for many years, and he has a good sense of sound [Note 1]. Although he played a few wrong notes at the beginning, he played more and more smoothly later.

Aglaia played the bass, and Tom played the treble. Beautiful notes flowed out from the fingers of the two, mixed into the air, and filled the not-so-large apartment little by little.

Some people say that four-hand playing is one of the most emotional ways to test the performance of both players, because the notes are also the carrier of emotions. When working together, both parties must be focused and positive at the same time.

If either party lacks emotion, it will be impossible to be full of energy while playing, so their cooperation will not be able to show a lively musical image, let alone appeal and expressiveness.

Aglaia thought, Tom is really a good ensemble player. When playing, Tom always seems to be so emotional. She looked down at the four dancing hands on the keys in a daze. The hands are flexible and slender, but Tom's hands are more slender and powerful, while his own hands are smaller.

As soon as he was mentally distracted, his hand also became sluggish. The fingers of his right hand that should have moved away stayed in place. It happened that Tom was playing this scale with his left hand, so the little finger and ring finger of the two of them just moved. It got entangled like this.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the warm feeling from the tightly pressed fingers made the hearts of Tom and Aglaia tighten.Aglaia was the first to react. She pulled out her finger and blushed and said, "Hug, sorry, Tom, I'm a little distracted."

Tom also reacted immediately, and he also said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, uh, it's nothing, Leia, it's nothing. Then, you can continue to revise, I won't bother you anymore."

After speaking, he got up and left the piano bench, took his own cup, walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up a book, and forced himself to calm down and read.

Aglaia, who turned her back to him, looked down at her right hand. Tom's body temperature seemed to remain on her ring finger and little finger. She pursed her lips and shook her right hand with her left hand, imagining that she was holding Tom. hand.After a while, she let go of her hand, regained her concentration, and began to revise and play.

The whole modification process is not too long. Aglaia has already modified the part before the chorus before coming here. As long as the chorus is done, the rest is just the same scale appearing repeatedly. It is not difficult , so after more than an hour, Aglea has completed all the revisions.

She played the song from scratch and sang along to it, wanting to test her revisions.The revised piece retains the lightness of the original piece and added some elements to make the piece more suitable for Aglaia's voice.

She sang this song softly, and Tom behind her, in such a gentle and sensual singing voice, his consciousness began to gradually dim, and he gradually felt a little drowsy.

The book in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and the raised arm began to lose its grip, and slowly fell to his side, and the eyelids began to get heavier and heavier, and he almost couldn't open his eyes.

When Aglaia was satisfied with the effect, she stopped singing and turned her head to ask Tom's opinion. She saw the man she silently admired, sitting on the sofa and falling asleep.

Aglaia walked over lightly, slowly took out the book he was holding, put the bookmark on that page, closed the book and put it on the coffee table, then slowly supported Tom, let him lie down on the sofa Come on, take off the slippers for him, and put your feet on the sofa.

Her hands and feet are very light, so after completing this series of movements, Tom just moved and did not wake up. She looked around and found a folded thin blanket on the armrest of another single sofa.

Aglaia walked over, picked up the blanket, unfolded it, and laid it lightly on Tom.After doing all this, Aglaia squatted down in front of Tom, quietly watching his sleeping face.

Tom, who is always grinning, has an indescribable majesty when he is asleep. His eyebrows are a bit messy, and those brows that grow randomly are as lively and enthusiastic as Tom's character [Note 2].

His lips are thin, his nose is high, his eyelashes are long like a feather fan, his chin is a little stubble, maybe he has been lazy and hasn't shaved recently, and the golden brown hair covers Tom's neck. The top of the head [Note 3], under the slightly yellow light in the evening, looks fluffy and furry, making people want to touch it.

Aglaia's fingers copied Tom's facial features from a distance, full of emotion, gentle and tender. At this moment, as long as Tom could open his eyes, he would know the girl's secret feelings, but he didn't wake up, he was He was in a deep sleep, so he didn't know what kind of eyes Aglaia used to stare at him in this apartment in the evening.

She looked at it for a long time, until her legs started to feel numb, she stood up on the sofa, remembering that Tom mentioned that she was leaving by plane at [-]:[-] in the morning, she picked up Tom's mobile phone on the coffee table, and set a night The alarm clock at eleven o'clock set aside time for Tom to pack up and get to the airport.

Putting down the phone, she thought that Tom hadn't eaten yet, so Aglaia went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked, there were two pitiful tomatoes, a small piece of lettuce, a small piece of cheese, and a little ham in the refrigerator and a few slices of white bread.

Aglaia simply took out all the ingredients and made a simple sandwich.After finishing everything, she looked at her watch and found that it was almost six o'clock. Thinking that Kronos and Maia were still waiting for her to go home for dinner, Aglaia washed her hands, took out a pen and paper and wrote A note, pressed under Tom's cell phone, took the door and left.

But at this moment, in the hospital, Marisa was convulsed with pain again. Doctors and nurses gathered around her, some were responsible for holding down her hands and feet, and some were holding a syringe to inject her with morphine [Note 4].About half an hour after the injection of morphine, Marisa gradually stopped convulsing, and the doctors and nurses around her all heaved a sigh of relief.

Marisa has been admitted to the hospital for more than half a year, and she has always been a patient who cooperates with the treatment. In addition, she has a gentle and loving personality, so the doctors and nurses like her very much.In addition, they all know that Marisa's days are numbered, so every time Marisa's pain breaks out, these doctors and nurses who have been with her for a long time will be nervous.

One of the nurses was wiping the cold sweat on Marisa's brow, and the first thing Marisa said to the nurse after suffering another pain was: "I'm in pain again tonight, please don't inform me." Aglea and Cronus."

The nurse was puzzled and asked, "Why? Marisa?" Marisa smiled and said, "Aglaia is about to enter the finals. I don't want them to be distracted. I am well aware of my illness. The rest , It’s just waiting for time, I don’t have anything else to ask for, I just hope not to drag the children down.”

This young nurse has not been tempered by the life, old age, sickness and death in the hospital. Marisa's words easily made her eyes blush.

Seeing that she seemed to be about to cry, Marisa smiled and comforted her: "Okay, lovely nurse girl, don't be sad, this is a journey that everyone must go through, I just want to go on this road before some people. By the way, boy, can you get me some paper, a pen, and some envelopes? I want to write some letters."

The nurse nodded, quickly brought a pen and paper for Marisa, and waited for Marisa to take the medicine before leaving the ward.In the ward, Marisa sat up, put on a knitted sweater, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write with her weak hands.

Recently, the interval between Marisa's pain attacks has become shorter and shorter, and the time of lethargy has also increased. One day, she may not be able to wake up from sleep.

Marisa wanted to write a letter to each of the children while she was awake, and put those words she hadn't had time to say, and those words she wanted to tell the children, into the letters. She felt her own limit It's coming, she must hurry up.

Tom was woken up by the alarm clock on his mobile phone. He sat up in a daze, rubbing his curly hair and yawning.It was already dark in the room, he fumbled for his phone and turned off the alarm clock.Looking at the time, it was already eleven o'clock at night, and Aglaia left without knowing when.

He frowned a little annoyed, blaming himself for falling asleep in front of Aglaia, a little rude, looking at the thin blanket on his body, Tom knew that it was Aglaia who was sleeping for him. Cover it yourself.He leaned over and turned the switch on the side of the sofa, and the lights in the living room turned on.

Looking at the coffee table again, he found a note. He picked up the note, and saw that on the note, Aglaia wrote in the beautiful cursive script inherited from Marisa:

"Tom, you must have woken up when you read this note? This is the first time I know that my piano and singing can actually have a hypnotic effect."

Seeing this, Tom couldn't help grinning, and the iconic "Ehehehehe..." [Note 5] laughter echoed in the living room.

He continued to read, and on the note, Aglaia continued to write: "I used the last 'stock' in your refrigerator to make some sandwiches and put them in the kitchen. If you are hungry, go and eat some. After eating, hurry up and pack up your things, don’t miss your flight. Please work hard for filming, I’m in London, waiting for you to come back.”

There was also a cute smiling face drawn on the note. Tom brushed the beautiful handwriting on the paper with a smile, then folded the note carefully, put it in the breast pocket of his shirt, got up and walked into the kitchen, took Picking up the sandwich, he ate it happily.
