[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

Frieda, who was pregnant, looked much gentler than before, and the shrewd eyes were gradually replaced by soft and pure motherhood. Aglaia followed Elias into the room. At that time, Frieda was sitting on the sofa with her legs sideways, stroking her pregnant belly with her head down and a smile.

At this moment, Frieda seemed to be coated with a layer of brilliance by the lights in the house, looking so loving and holy, just like the Virgin Mary.

Aglaia was inexplicably moved. She whispered Frieda's name. Frieda looked up and smiled kindly at her. She said, "You're back, dear."

Obviously it was in Germany, and the person in front of her was Frieda, but Aglaia seemed to be dragged back to the LoveHouse and back in front of Marisa. At that time, Marisa always seemed to be like Frieda at this moment. In this way, with a full smile, welcome her back.

She had tears in her eyes, but quickly held back her eyes, lowered her head and blinked vigorously, and then replied with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Frieda, I'm back. How are you recently? Will it be very hard?"

While talking, she walked over and held Frieda's arm, Frieda patted Aglaia's hand, and said: "There will be some hard work, but it's more about looking forward to it, Leia, I I really hope to see the baby sooner."

Aglaia comforted: "Aunt Frieda, don't be so impatient. You know, all good things are not easy to get, and the baby, as one of the most beautiful things in the world, naturally needs us Wait patiently. If you are impatient and let the baby in your stomach notice it, won't it also affect the baby's mood? Let's wait quietly, I have a hunch that this must be a smart and beautiful baby."

In this world, there is no mother who doesn't like to hear others praise her child, so Frieda smiled happily, shook the girl's hand on her arm gratefully, and said, "Thank you for your kind words, my dear. "

After Aglaia stayed with Frieda and Elias in the castle for a few days, she had to hurry back to meet with the staff and continue the next concert schedule.

The night before she left, the girl was packing her things in the house, and there was a knock on the door behind her. She turned around and saw Frieda, who was wearing pajamas like her, standing at the door holding something.

She hurried over and took what Frieda was holding. It was a big and heavy square cardboard box, and it seemed very important. 1], she asked a little puzzled: "Aunt Frieda, what's wrong? What is this?"

Frieda didn't answer directly, but said with a smile, "This is a gift I prepared for you. Open it and see if you like it."

The girl put the big box on the bed, picked up its cover, and saw a layer of white paper, she opened the paper, and then was stunned, because there was a wedding dress in the box.

She looked at Frieda, who approached with a smile, put her on the girl's shoulders, and looked at the box with her, Frieda asked softly, "Do you like it, Leia?"

Aglaia nodded and was about to say something, but Frieda interrupted her and said, "This wedding dress was worn when I married your father. I have kept it very well for so many years. When I wear it, I am always reluctant to let it suffer any damage, because I always feel that this wedding dress seems to represent my life."

Aglaia hurriedly said: "Aunt Frieda, since it is your beloved, how can I take it away, I really can't accept this gift, please take it back."

Frieda seemed very insistent, she said: "No, Leia, I hope you can accept this gift, which represents my blessing. I hope that one day, when you get married, you can be accompanied by this wedding dress. With you, enter the palace of marriage, bless you also have a smooth and peaceful marriage."

As she spoke, she took Aglaia by the hand, led her to the dressing table, sat down on her shoulder, reached out and picked up the big comb on the dressing table, and combed the girl's long golden hair.

Frieda continued: "Although your father and I are a half-way couple, I never felt that there was anything wrong with it. Your father is not a very romantic person, but he is down-to-earth, pragmatic, cautious and steady. Marriage, I have no regrets. Leia, we all hope you will be happy too." [Note 2]

Aglaia suddenly felt ironed in her heart. She felt that although she had lost Marisa, she was lucky to have found her father, and along with that, she met Frieda who was so similar to Marisa.

Of course, Frieda couldn't replace Marisa's position in her heart, but at least Frieda shouldered the responsibility of a mother at this moment, which made Aglaia indescribably grateful.

She held Frieda's hand with a smile, and said softly but firmly: "I will, Frieda, I will be happy."

At the beginning of September, after finishing several concerts in Germany, Aglaia rushed to the next destination - Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

Not long after she arrived, Tom contacted her and offered to bring a few friends who were in the show to help her in the concert. For this reason, Aglaia also specially asked his assistant Hannah to bring her to the concert. The reserved more than a dozen concert tickets were delivered to Tom in Northern Ireland. 【Note 3】

On the night of Aglaia's concert in Dublin, Tom brought Sienna Miller and Jeremy Irons [Note 4] who were playing with him to the concert scene, and they There are also some crew members.

Considering that she would do as the Romans do, Aglea also sang the famous Irish ballad "This is the last rose of summer" at the concert in Dublin [Note 5].

Under a solitary spotlight on the stage, a girl in a fruit green dress sat on the edge of the stage, the flowing corners of the skirt drooped naturally, and the corners of the skirt swayed slightly in the wind.

She was holding an acoustic guitar, plucking the strings lightly with her slender fingers, her long blond hair was temporarily turned into big wavy curls, spread over her shoulders, and she wore a garland of clover on top of her hair. 6], opened his mouth and sang that old ballad.

The other complicated accompaniments and gorgeous stage effects have faded away, leaving only her, a guitar, a lamp, and a microphone, but it does not make people feel monotonous at all. On the contrary, it is such a clean and refreshing stage, which is perfect The girl's clear voice was perfectly set off, and at this moment, she seemed to be an elf.

She sang the lyrics with light melancholy gently, and how many people shed tears in such singing, just because of the girl's low-pitched singing, someone's soul was touched in such a dazed way.

……

Jeremy Irons couldn't help sighing, "That's a great song." Tom laughed proudly and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Jeremy, if Leia knew your evaluation, she would definitely appreciate it." I am very happy, she likes your "After the Storm in Homeland" [Note 7] very much, and will drag me to review with her from time to time."

Jeremy was really pleased by Tom's words. He smiled and said, "Really? I really have to thank her for her love and support." Tom shrugged and joked, "I think you should just take a photo with her, Give her another autograph, this is the way to thank her for perfection, don't you think?" Jeremy laughed twice, and readily accepted the proposal.

The concert ended in a tap dance that almost shook the audience. Aglaia, who changed into a dark green plaid knee-length dress, had a bright smile on her face, and provoked an enthusiastic dance with a group of backup dancers. tap dance.

Although the girl's steps are not perfect, and they are sometimes a bit slow, her sincerity and the joy on her face infected everyone. She jumped to the back, and the whole venue was accompanied by the drumbeat of the accompaniment , applauded the performers on stage.

It was already late at night when the concert ended, but for Dublin, the city that never sleeps, this time is not too late. There are still many people walking on the streets, and the bars in the streets are even more lively.

Tom and Jeremy went backstage together. Aglaia was very happy to see Jeremy. She didn't even change her costume, and didn't even bother to say hello to Tom, so she excitedly used Hannah to Jeremy He took a photo with his Polaroid and asked him to sign the photo.

The appearance of his girlfriend who completely pretended that he didn't exist made Tom a little bit disgusted, so after sending Jeremy away, he grabbed Aglaia and gave her an eager and strong deep kiss, straight kiss She didn't stop until she couldn't breathe.

After bidding farewell to the staff, Aglaia, who changed into casual clothes, led Tom on the streets of Dublin. Tom held her fingers together, and seemed to feel something different. He looked down and asked, "Take the ring Accused?"

Ever since she bought the Claddagh ring in Ireland that year, Aglaia has been wearing it and never left her body. It's just that after interacting with Tom, she silently changed the direction of the heart on the Claddagh ring.

Almost all the media and fans knew about Aglaia's preference for this ring, and Tom, as a boyfriend, knew it very well, so he was very surprised to see his girlfriend take off the ring at this moment.

Aglaia said with a flat mouth: "It's Piero, I have a concert costume, the surface layer is all that kind of delicate and expensive handmade lace, but every time I wear that suit with a ring , the crown on the ring will hang on to the lace, and it almost fell off again, and then Piero got mad at me, and almost threw my ring away, so I put it on a chain .”

As she spoke, she pulled out a long chain from the neckline of her skirt. The lower end of the chain was the Claddagh ring that Aglaia had followed for many years. The silver ring was worn and oxidized over the years. , is no longer as smooth as it used to be, but it has a sense of story.

Tom smiled and pinched the girl's face, and said, "Piero is doing it for your own good too. Just take the ring home after the show. Ah, there's ice cream over there, darling, do you want some?"

Aglaia nodded, and Tom told her to wait while he went across the street to buy her ice cream.

The two were in a not-so-wide driveway, and there were not many cars driving at this time, and the occupied parking spaces [Note 8] on both sides of the driveway were full of vehicles.The girl stood quietly on the sidewalk and waited until she saw that Tom was done shopping, then she got off the sidewalk and walked through the gap between the two cars.

She was just about to wave to Tom when she suddenly felt a bright light shooting towards her. She looked sideways, but a few hundred meters away, there was a car with high beams on, crookedly approaching her direction.

The car was getting closer and closer to her, and with a loud bang, it slammed into the door of the car parked on her left, and then drove towards her.

At this moment, it was too late to turn around and run away. For the first time, Aglaia felt that she could be so close to death.

She watched the car drive in, and the only thing she could do was stand on tiptoes and lean close to the car parked behind her, keeping herself as far away from the driveway as possible.

"NO! Leia!" She heard Tom's terrified shout, and saw his terrified face, and then their intersecting sight was blocked by the car. Aglaia closed her eyes, her whole body tensed. Waiting tensely for the final result, she could even feel the car's rearview mirror brushing against her waist.

She heard the screams of people around her, the sound of sharp brakes and the sound of metal collisions, but she didn't feel any pain as she expected. In fact, except for the touch of the rearview mirror brushing against her, she It doesn't feel any more.

She opened her eyes in panic, and found that the car had parked about 100 meters to her right, and the entire front of the car hit the lamp post on the side of the road, and a large part was dented.

A feeling of surviving a catastrophe surged into the girl's heart, and she felt weak after a while of fear, and she was about to fall to the ground. Before she fell to the ground, Tom rushed towards her and knocked her down. Hugged into the arms.

He hugged him so tightly, this was the tightest Tom hugged since they dated, his arms were like two steel hoops, and Aglaia's ribs began to ache.

And his kisses fell on her forehead one after another, and Aglaia could even hear Tom muttering in a hoarse voice, such as "thank God", "God bless" and the like.

After a while, the pair of lovers who passed by danger finally regained their composure. Tom held Aglaia's face, looked at his girl carefully, and said, "How are you, Leia?" ? Is there any injury? Is there any pain?"

Aglaia held her hand, shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine, that car didn't touch me, only its rearview mirror brushed against my waist...huh?"

Halfway through the conversation, the girl suddenly made a suspicious sound, and Tom asked her what was wrong, and she said, "Ring, Tom, my ring is missing."

Sure enough, the long chain around the girl's neck was broken, and the Claddagh ring on the chain was gone too. Presumably, the car's rearview mirror brushed against the girl's waist and dropped the ring .

She looked around and tried to find it. Not long after, she found the ring lying quietly on the ground by the light of the street lamp.The ring had been broken, and it seemed that it had been run over by a tire, and the whole ring was twisted into a ball.

Aglaia looked at the "wreckage" of the ring with some reluctance, while Tom touched the girl's cheek and said with a sigh: "If the ring is gone, it will be gone. As long as you are a good person, you will be fine." .In the not-too-distant future, I will definitely make up a Claddagh ring for you."

Although it was not a direct marriage proposal, both he and she knew the meaning of it, and it was the first time since their relationship that Tom explicitly mentioned the assumption about marriage.

Tom and Aglaia had never talked about marriage face to face before, and Tom always felt that it would not be too late to mention it when the time was right, but at that moment, when he stood across the street and watched Tom was nearly overwhelmed with fear and regret as the car hurtled towards his girl.

He hadn't made her his wife yet, he hadn't taken her by the hand and swore before God, they hadn't had their children together, they hadn't grown old together, she couldn't go, she couldn't leave him.

He suddenly realized that Aglaia was so important to him that even just imagining a life without her would make him feel suffocated.

Therefore, he has nothing to hesitate. He has regarded this misfortune passing by as a warning from God. God wants to tell him through this incident—the world is impermanent, cherish the present moment.

Tom's words made Aglaia's heart skip a beat, and her face blushed unconsciously.They never deliberately talked about the future, and they never deliberately avoided it. They just let nature take its course. There is no need to talk too much about feelings, and it is enough to feel it with your heart.

Aglaia understands that she is important and special to Tom, but she is just not sure how much chips she has, and whether she can win this bet and spend the rest of her life with Tom, and now , she knew, she won the bet.

Enduring her excitement and shyness, she tied a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to replace it with another ring." Tom smiled happily and sent out With a signature laugh, he lowered his head and kissed the top of the girl's hair, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and pulled her into his arms.

The girl also reached out, hugged his waist, and leaned quietly in his arms. Somehow, she remembered what the friendly shopkeeper told her when she bought the Claddagh ring. A legend about the ring - if the Claddagh ring on your right hand is broken, the person who is with you is the one you are destined for.

Aglaia smiled, and she thought, maybe this legend is true, or maybe this man hugging her is her true son.

The author has something to say: last Friday, my brother shamelessly brought his wife and my ex-man to my house to watch the World Cup, and even moved my computer and network cable to the living room to tidy up. Let them do it.As a result, after they left the next day, when I moved the computer and network cable back to the original place, I found that I couldn’t access the Internet T^T...

So I reported it for repair, and waited for more than a day, and the telecommunications company came. At that time, I thought it was repaired, but I was rushing out at that time, and I didn’t turn it on and restart it to try again, so I just turned it off and left, and then at night When I got home, I found out that I couldn't afford the internet again...so I had to report it again...OTZ...

I’m not a Tai Sui this year, why do I feel that I’ve been so unlucky for half a year... After a lot of trouble, the Internet was finally repaired this morning, and I was finally able to log in to *, and as soon as I logged in, I saw the text messages on the site , Tell me that I have been on the vitality update list, and I need to update 2.1 words.

I go!Nima, I haven't applied for the list at all, okay!Are you funny!Is this list still mandatory? !More importantly, when I saw this news, it was already past the last update time, okay?This is totally teasing me, okay! ! !

I really feel that I should burn some incense...

About being brushed by a car in the article, I said it was a personal experience of a certain North. At that time, I really thought I would die. Fortunately, except for a button of my coat being scraped off, there was nothing wrong with it, but I sincerely I was almost scared to pee, is there any...

In addition, I have buried the stalk of the Claddagh ring for a long time. How many girls guessed it when they read that chapter? O(∩_∩)O?

The visa medical examination for a certain North is all over, and when I get my graduation certificate at the end of the month, it's almost time for me to pack my luggage.I am flying to Australia in mid-July. Before that, I will definitely finish this article, so you don’t have to worry about this article being a trap.

By the way, is there a girl who wants to order custom?If there are many people who want it, I will find a time to catch a bug in the full text. In fact, I also want to customize a book as a souvenir, but I am a little entangled. I read it and read it, what an embarrassing thing this is...

Cough cough, too much talk, as usual, I attach a welfare photo:

[Note 2]: Don't think it's a strange thing for the elders to pass on the wedding dresses worn by the younger generations.It seems that in China, the wedding dress is considered to be new, but in Western countries, there are also many families who have the tradition of passing the wedding dress down from generation to generation, especially those families whose elders are happily married. This kind of behavior is also a way for the elders to pass on the good fortune of their marriage to the next generation.

【Note 6】: The reason for choosing clover is actually very simple, because it is the national flower of Ireland.

[Note 7]: Uncle Tie's "After the Wind and Rain in Homeland" can be regarded as a fairly classic British drama. If you are interested, you can search for it, although I suspect that it may not be available now╮( ╯▽╰)╭.It was a few years ago when I watched it. This drama makes people feel the British culture very well, and it is worth watching. Bytheway, Uncle Tie when he was young, he is really handsome O(∩_∩)O~

[Note 8]: Children who have a driver’s license are definitely familiar with road-occupied parking spaces, but for those who don’t know, let me explain: Road-occupied parking is a situation that many cities currently use to relieve parking pressure without affecting road use. Next, set aside a part of the parking space on the road for car owners to use.Because it is a temporary parking space on the road, generally speaking, fixed meters, gates and other equipment are rarely installed.What generally use is the hand-held meter mode to manage and charge.The major domestic brands include chainway, and foreign brands such as motorola.
