[American Entertainment] Bright life

Grace's arms were folded on the dining table. She was wearing a long-sleeved dress today, which just covered up the scars from being stabbed by rose thorns that day.She didn't take this matter to heart at first, but the little Mr. Hiddleston sitting across from her looked over from time to time, which made her realize it again.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Grace did not intend to make a new attempt after weighing the matter. Regarding the establishment of a romantic relationship, she said: "First of all, regarding the matter of 'you like me', I actually Prefers that I'm sexually attractive to you - given that your pupils dilate when you look at me, which of course could indicate that you're addicted to heroin, which obviously you're not, you have no history of heroin use - and a surge of dopamine , the superposition of the two gives you this kind of feeling called 'like' which is not too long-lasting; second, you said that we need a chance to get to know each other deeply, that is for you, but trust me I I know enough about you. For example, I know that your parents divorced when you were young. You went to Eton College in middle school and Cambridge University in university. If I were to say, I would say that you studied in England Department of literature, worship Shakespeare, typical romantics. Let’s say that you have been in love three times so far, and the last time, as I said, you broke up three months ago.”

Grace paused: "Do you need me to go on?"

When Grace performed the deduction, Tom was absent-minded. Whether it was when Grace said that his sister was her book fan, or when Grace interpreted Rist later, Tom did not concentrate on feeling the inconceivable and powerful deduction method. Now he still He didn't dodge it, so the result was that Tom was silent for a moment before he found his voice, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little dry: "You, are you rejecting me?"

"I think if I explain your confession, it will be easier for you to accept," Grace shrugged, "I could have chosen a more straightforward way, but considering that the elders of our two families know each other, I don't want this Mishandling things will cause unnecessary trouble. Now, we have reached a consensus?"

She was so self-conscious about it, she picked up the menu and browsed it, and went back to tell Donald that she and Mr. Hiddleston were not getting along well.It's just that Grace didn't expect that Mr. Hiddleston, who should have turned into a rage, didn't leave angrily. Instead, he licked his lower lip after the silence and asked tentatively: "The trouble you said means that it will affect me. Father's friendship with Mr. Wood?"

Grace raised her head in surprise, apparently Tom's behavior was beyond her expectation.

Tom's dimmed gray-green eyes lit up again, "Isn't it?"

"No," Grace denied without thinking, "The trouble I said was the trouble that "Les Miserables" caused to my ears. The reason why I agreed to this meeting was entirely because Donald used this incident threatened me."

Tom froze for a moment, then smiled heartily: "Grace, you are so cute. Well, I mean this reason is cute."

Grace frowned suspiciously, and then her brows relaxed, and she suddenly realized: "Dopamine is really amazing."

Tom asked in confusion, "What?"

"I mean that you are under the influence of dopamine, causing you to act emotionally, and then appear unreasonable-you must know that people usually feel offended in the previous situation, and then develop resistance or even hatred-behavior, but you Don't worry, it has a shelf life." Grace's 'kindly' reminder did not have any positive effect at all, it not only made Tom fall into unspeakable silence again, but also made the blind date initiated by Donald It ended up being a failure, at least in Grace's opinion, as Mr. Hiddleston Jr. made no further attempts to contact her for the next month.

This has no effect on Grace, she still has her own affairs to be busy: going to Alan Rickman's house to take acting classes, he gave her professional theoretical guidance, and suggested that she act in stage plays, which It's been a good workout, and it's worked out well, as evidenced by her success at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

Just before the start of the new term, out of the blue again, Grace received a call from Mr. Hiddleston Jr.

"Hello, Mr. Hiddleston."

"Tom, please call me Tom, Grace." Tom's sincere voice came from the microphone.

Grace didn't understand why Tom contacted her again after a month: "I thought we had reached a consensus?"

Tom pursed his lips and chose to tell the truth, "Actually, I got your contact information from Mr. Wood a month ago, Grace."

Grace really didn't expect it: "Huh?"

"I have always had your contact information, but have not chosen to contact you in the past month. I know why it sounds stupid, but I still want you to know that in the past month, I have read all of your psychological In addition, I also looked up dopamine... What I want to prove is that it has not disappeared after a month without seeing you, I mean, I still like you." Tom waited Without waiting for Grace's answer for a moment, he couldn't help moaning: "I'm really stupid for behaving like this, right?"

It was hard for Grace to imagine Tom's persistent behavior, which made her somewhat at a loss. Facing Tom's inquiry, she could only say as lightly as possible: "I think so."

"God—" Tom's voice sounded utterly frustrated and annoyed, "I just thought of doing that, to be able to disprove your rejection of my confession, I, sorry."

Grace paused, and said dryly, "Actually, it's kind of cute."

"Really?" Tom was 'resurrected with full blood' almost all of a sudden, he tried his best not to look too excited, but the corners of his grinning mouth and the big white teeth exposed betrayed him.

"I'm quoting what you once said about me. In fact, your experiment, let's call it an experiment, lacks science in my opinion. There is no control group and no established parameters—" Grace is still Grace , but her words didn't extinguish Tom's enthusiasm a month ago, and now a month's cooling-off period has passed, and naturally it won't.On the contrary, Tom still thinks that Grace is so cute. He can't help but say: "So you want to come on a date? I mean, I have a performance in the theater troupe today. Can I invite you to come and see it?"

Grace thought about it and agreed.

……

The actors and staff of the theater troupe found that Tom worked extraordinarily hard when performing. How to describe it, it seems that I pay more attention to expressing myself than usual, as if I want to exude my charm without money.

After the performance, Tom didn't go backstage directly, but ran to the audience, and after a short while, he led a beautiful girl to the stage, and they all understood that he originally expressed his feelings in "The Peacock Spreading His Tails". It was watched by other girls.It is said that men who work hard are the most attractive. This young man is very promising.

The promising young actor was looking at Grace with his clear, bright gray-green eyes, brightened with sheer joy: "Grace, I'm really glad you came to see me." Show. Well, I'm going to take off my makeup, you wait for me here for a while, 3 minutes, "

Grace nodded.

Grace was not surprised to see a man in the theater who bore an uncanny resemblance to her elder brother, Mycroft Holmes.She meant that in the theatre, given that she had last glimpsed him on a street near the West End, and later slowed down that memory in her mind palace, she also deduced the other's occupation, yes A theater actor like Benedict.

But just like McCoff once commented that she is the most special goldfish in the world, she has never been able to be completely unemotional, even though she has been indoctrinated by her brothers from the beginning that "being emotional is the biological defect of a loser". the opinion of.This time, although her sanity was still there, Grace couldn't help being distracted.

"careful!"

"Grace!"

Grace returned to her senses amidst exclamations. She was about to step back to avoid the fallen wood from the stage, when she was hugged into a warm and dry embrace.

Most people don't have time to react at this time, they just wait for the wood to hit their body, well, it hits the person who is protecting her.But Grace was originally distracted by something special, and now she is fully rational, and she will never watch this happen to her.

So in the blink of an eye, she made a choice, put her arms around Tom's waist, and used her skill to lead him to the side to avoid, but there was a small mistake in the process, which caused them to fall to the ground with their arms around each other .Tom was on the bottom and Grace was on top of him, and unfortunately they had lip-to-lip as well as physical contact.

Tom couldn't feel the pain of the intimate contact between his back and the floor now, and now all his attention was focused on the soft touch from his lips, and he tried his best to restrain himself from thinking wildly, or taking advantage of others' dangers.

Grace was up on top of him in no time, and Tom couldn't help feeling a moment of loss, but the next moment he was elated because Grace held out her hand to him.Tom held her hand and stood up with strength, but he didn't know what to say at this time, but he couldn't help but look at Grace, and was surprised to find that her ears were red, "Grace—hiss— —”

"Mr. Hiddleston, you are very lucky that you didn't hurt your ribs." Grace calmly removed her hand from Tom's back, and then turned around and walked out without saying a word. If you look carefully, her current footsteps Faster than usual.

Tom didn't care about screaming for pain now, and ran after him with his long legs.

The backstage staff looked at each other in blank dismay, are they abused dogs?
