[American Entertainment] Bright life

"Grace—" Tom chased after him, subconsciously grabbing Grace's hand.

Grace stopped and looked up at him, and there were stars dancing in her eyes under the light.

Tom was a little lost, but he quickly came back to his senses, and said a little awkwardly: "I'm sorry." Even though he said so, he didn't let go of Grace's hand.

Grace said quickly, "You should be sorry for your completely thoughtless actions earlier."

"I am." Tom licked the corner of his mouth and said uncomfortably. His mind was blank at the time, and he had already stepped forward and hugged Grace in his arms without thinking.He looked back at Grace. "I'm glad you're okay, Grace, really."

While Grace was puzzled by the burning emotion in Tom's eyes, she was not unmoved, as she did not criticize Tom's previous impulsive behavior - her eyes flickered, very stiffly. Changed the subject: "Your performance today was wonderful."

Tom almost smirked: "Thank you, what do you think of my performance?"

"It can be seen that your basic skills are solid, but you are using too much force." Grace replied honestly.

Tom watched Grace's blunt answer, and he sighed in his heart, it was because you were in the audience, my girl.At this time, Grace wanted to be pulled back by Tom's hand, but Tom couldn't help but clenched it tightly. He met Grace's puzzled gaze, took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Grace, I know you are a rational person." But what I want to tell you is that human emotions are uncontrollable and cannot be explained purely by science and logic, just like the fact that I like you. Under your rejection that made me feel incredible that day, I Not wanting to back down, not because I know that dopamine has a shelf life, but I feel that once I do back down, I will regret it. Now I think I should ask again, Miss Grace Green, would you like to share with Tom Shee Is Monsieur Dresden dating?"

Tom was extremely apprehensive, but he was also looking forward to it. He thought that as long as Grace was willing to take one step, he would be willing to take the remaining 99 steps.

Grace suddenly remembered her previous conversation with Rist, and she told Rist what she thought, and Rist looked shocked at the time, and he said to her after a wry smile: "Grace, do you know what your problem is?" ?It’s not about your fear of getting addicted to sex, it’s about your fear of getting hurt.”

How did Grace answer at the time, she said: "If you are using aggressive methods to persuade me to get back together with you, I can tell you responsibly that it is useless to me."

But in fact, in her heart, Grace could not deny that Lister had caught another part of the truth. Mycroft had always warned her and Sherlock not to get too involved, but there would be no more McCoff in this world.Grace restrained her complicated thoughts, and turned to look at Tom. After realizing that his tense palms were sweating, her heart moved, and she swallowed the "no" on the edge of her mouth, and just nodded like a ghost.

Tom heard the voice of flowers blooming in his heart, he couldn't control the ecstasy in his heart, hugged Grace, and spun around: "Really?"

"If you don't put me down immediately, I'll change my mouth." Grace didn't even realize that when she said such disgusting words, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

"I'm so happy!" Tom put Grace down, and the corners of his grin couldn't close.Finally restrained himself, looking at the slim girl standing in front of him, he reached out and tried to tuck her messy hair behind his ears, and noticed that she froze slightly but did not avoid it. Tom never thought it was so easy for him That's enough.Well, he also kissed Grace's forehead, but he didn't expect the 'surprise' to come so soon—

Grace put her hand in her coat pocket, turned her head slightly, and asked in a casual tone, "What do you think about sex?"

……

"So you're in a relationship again, right?" Raymond couldn't help asking again, thinking he was still suffering from indigestion, given that he only found out about Grace's ex-boyfriend a month ago, it was them The legendary academic figure in Oxford University has been the man of the hour in Oxford University, Rister Hill, since his student days.

And before he jumped out of this incident, he knew that Grace was in love again, this time with a young talent introduced by their grandfather, but how did it happen?Just as Raymond didn't know how Grace and Rist established a relationship, he also didn't know the process this time.

Oh, he can rely on imagination, but come on, that's Grace, he can't substitute the process of ordinary people's communication on Grace, so it caused him to scratch his heart and lungs now.

By the way, they're on the other side of the Atlantic, on a plane to New York, USA, to attend Grace's father Roderick Green's birthday party in New York.It seems a bit weird to say that. Raymond himself can say that Roderick Green is just his aunt's husband, but Grace and Roderick are father and daughter. Well, they basically meet no more than five times a year. The father and daughter who met each time and ended with Roderick's rage every time.

Consider what Grace once said about her heartfelt advice to Roderick to see a therapist when he called to 'care' about her.Anyway, their father-daughter relationship is complicated, well, in 'English' terms.

Without looking up, Grace said, "I don't understand why you still can't keep calm about this kind of thing, Raymond."

Raymond muttered "I want to know too", then suddenly thought of something, and couldn't hold back for a while, he tentatively said: "Grace, my dear, what I want to know is, what is the difference between a 'love relationship' in your definition and an ordinary relationship?" People, like what I define as a 'relationship'?"

Grace did not speak, which made Raymond raise his voice as if he had discovered a new world: "Are you keeping the default silence?"

Grace thought for a moment and said, "Not enough data to answer." She and Tom had only been in a relationship for two days.

"Oh my God, Grace, you really look like a robot." Under Grace's glaring gaze, Raymond, who told the truth, laughed twice, but the dry laughs were all dry laughs. He didn't think that Grace seemed to be in love mode now , although he had some expectations that Grace would be in the dubuff of "IQ drops when falling in love", it seems that this expectation is a little unrealistic.Also, "I guess you didn't tell your brother about it either, I know you're going to ask 'why?' At the party at your house, I don't need to guess that there will be a group of people waiting to introduce you to the young talents they know."

"Oh, Angus will take care of this matter in exchange for my going back to Mr. Green's birthday party." Grace said indifferently.Angus, her now brother, arrived in London seven days after his phone call to Raymond, to pay her usual attention.There was nothing derogatory about the concern here, Angus really cared about her, so she didn't mind agreeing to some innocuous requests from Angus.

Raymond learned that the relationship between Grace and her father was not very good through a few words, but when he really saw it-Grace saw her father no more than five times a year, let alone Raymond-their father After the scene with the woman, he felt that 'not so good' was not enough to describe it, and 'bad' was more or less the same.

Roderick Green does not conform to the image of the stubborn, aloof, ruthless big capitalist that people imagine. On the contrary, he is personable, humorous, and even though he is over middle-aged, he is still full of charm. People think that when he was young, he must have been a type of playboy who "lived among thousands of flowers and never touched himself".

On the contrary, Angus Green is more in line with the image of a big capitalist drawn by the public. His facial features are profound, his temperament is cold, and most of the time he is taciturn, which is more likely to make people daunting.

And Raymond and Roderick had been together for less than 10 minutes, and he already unconsciously thought that there must be some misunderstanding between him and Grace, but it turned out that he was too naive. From Grace's home to the next day before the banquet, they There is almost zero communication between the father and daughter.I say 'almost' because they have communicated, if the following situation is called communication: just when Raymond began to think that there was some misunderstanding between Grace and Roderick, Grace appeared, She greeted Mr. Green very politely: "As for my suggestion last time that you go to see a psychiatrist, you might as well think about it again? Let's not talk about your incurable desire to control, let's talk about your deep-rooted perfection Obsessive-compulsive disorder—Raymond, are you thinking that the relationship between me and Mr. Green is so bad, there must be some misunderstanding in the middle?"

Raymond nodded hesitantly.

"Say 'hi' to Mr. Green's perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder." Grace smiled brightly. In contrast, Roderick's face turned from sunny to stormy. For half a minute, the atmosphere seemed to be stagnant, and he left aggressively without saying anything.

It was as if he had changed before and after, and Raymond, who had seen him laughing and smiling, couldn't accept it. But he thought about it later, and he was curious about the relationship between his change of thinking and Roderick's perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder. ?So he asked Grace at the banquet. They were condescending on the second floor to appreciate the "turbulent waves" at the banquet. To be precise, Grace was performing them, and Raymond swiped the screen in his heart, "Your circle is really chaotic"——

"The indoor temperature is comfortable, but she is sweating, plus the nostrils are enlarged, well, it is obviously hypersalivation, she is pregnant, and the interesting thing is that her husband has erectile dysfunction."

"Wait, Grace, I don't even want to know how you figured out that he has erectile dysfunction. I want to ask you about Mr. Green's perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder. I checked Wikipedia. The main characteristic of the patient is that he is too demanding of himself. Strict, demanding perfection, but what does it have to do with my ideas?"

Grace blinked: "Is it okay?"

Raymond shook his head: "I don't think it matters much."

"Hm, then just take me as a tactful mockery of Mr. Green's hypocrisy." Grace said indifferently. Raymond's head was full of black lines. He was about to say something when a female voice came in: "Miss Green , although I know it's not my turn to comment on this matter, but I can't help it, it's too much for you to say that about your father!"
