[British and American Entertainment] Sonnets to Olivia

~~~~~ The difference between friendship and love is this: friendship means two people and the world, while love means two people are the world. ~~~~~ Olivia received another letter from Tom, and she looked at those sentences, as if Cambridge was right in front of her eyes.His words are so agile, it seems that the wind blowing on his face is also hitting her window lattice across the ocean at this moment.

She didn't read the letter, she was afraid that she would be shaken again.Because she heard her parents' night talk, she decided not to add any burden to the family, and chose Stanford as her goal.

In order to strengthen her confidence, Olivia quickly filled out the application form.She and Anderson will be heading to Stanford soon to meet with a respected old professor.

This Professor Raul was a biologist and geologist when he was young, and he started to develop in wildlife protection when he was old.He had wanted Christine to come to his school, but he didn't expect him to go to Caltech.But fortunately, Anderson and Olivia came, and he felt that it was not a loss.

Olivia inherited the talent of her parents, and with the support of her brother and alumni, she entered the preparatory school smoothly.Although she has just turned 16, there are actually younger students in the class than her.

After all this was settled, Olivia took out Tom's letter and read it.At the end of the letter, Tom invited her to Cambridge, hoping that she could walk along the beautiful River of Sword with him.

Looking at Tom's phrase "I'm waiting for you in Cambridge", she suddenly realized the meaning of the word "over the sea".He's already at Cambridge, and he's about to enter Stanford.One is in the UK and the other is in the US. The distance between them is not only the Eurasian continent and the Pacific Ocean.

But in Olivia's heart, there is still a little bit of luck.She calculated the time difference, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of Tom's dormitory.

But Tom was in the library at the moment and he missed the call.And the phone in his dormitory didn't have an answering machine, so he didn't know that Olivia called him.

Olivia just felt that this was probably fate, she put down the phone and began to write back to Tom.The content of the reply letter is probably that I have entered the preparatory course at Stanford and will not consider Cambridge.But she will still go to play, just have to wait until next summer.

Tom didn't know about the phone call, and he was very happy to receive Olivia's letter.At least she didn't mean to never want to see her again.Although it will take another year to see her, the wait is worth it.

During this time, both of them are studying hard.Tom's major is classical literature, and he also wants to become an actor, so he has never let go of his major in acting.

Olivia is now a preparatory course, but she has already determined her path, so she has already chosen her major.At the same time, she has to work part-time to earn her own tuition and fees.

In fact, the tuition fee of Stanford is also quite high, [-] US dollars per year, far more than that of Cambridge.But because her parents know many professors and high-level officials of the school, she can apply for the treatment of poor students and reduce tuition fees.But the accommodation and other miscellaneous expenses are also quite staggering, and she still needs to earn them herself.

During the six months when she and Tom agreed to meet, she worked part-time and studied at the same time.Because she didn't plan to waste too much time in her undergraduate studies, Olivia had already started studying freshman and sophomore courses.Several old professors also like her very much, thinking that she is talented and intelligent, and she is hard-working.As a future wildlife conservationist, physical strength and endurance are required.

Stanford University is particularly famous for its astronomy, physics, computer, and biology majors.Its School of Earth Sciences is also world-leading in research on global climate and resources, and Olivia is preparing to enroll in this school.

No living thing exists alone, and any link in the biological chain on this earth is very important.Therefore, Olivia did not simply study a major, but planned to study earth and marine environmental science first.

Tearing up the calendar, Olivia found that the day to meet Tom was getting closer.Both signed up for e-mail on New Year's Eve of the millennium, so they didn't have to wait for the terribly slow international mail.But at Christmas and New Years, the two still sent postcards to each other.

Olivia turned out the postcard with the Cambridge postmark and the scenery of Cambridge. She didn't expect that the past six months would pass much faster than she imagined.

Standing in front of the closet, she began to worry again.I really haven't bought any new clothes in the past six months. Although she hasn't grown at all, the old ones are ugly no matter how you look at them.

"If you can't pick out clothes, you can be naked, Ollie." Anderson smiled while nibbling on an apple.

"Go play with your gorilla!" Ollie grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it on Anderson's head.

Anderson took it down and saw that it turned out to be a ripped T-shirt, "Our family is not poor enough to wear this kind of clothes."

"It's popular, you know what!" Ollie kicked the door shut, too lazy to explain to her mountain gorilla brother.

Really unable to pick out clothes, Olivia decided to go shopping for new clothes.She called her friend Bao Jia in the preparatory school.Laranta went shopping in downtown Los Angeles.

"What does he look like? Does he look like Hugh Grant?" Although Laranta is a native Indian, she still went to an ordinary public school in middle school, so she is no different from ordinary American teenagers now.All her impressions of Britain come from movies, especially "Notting Hill", which was only released last year.

"No, but his eyes are also beautiful. When he looks at you, there seems to be a whole world in his eyes." Olivia shook her head, Tom and Hugh Grant are too far apart, Although they are all gentlemen from England.

"That's because he looks at you, so there is the whole world in his eyes." Laranta laughed. She tilted her head and looked at Olivia, knowing that she was falling in love right now.

"No, I only occupy a very small part of his world, I guess." Olivia was not that confident. She could feel Tom's feelings for her, but she didn't feel how deep it was.

"Then let this part continue to expand." Laranta said while pulling Olivia into a clothing store.She saw the dress on the model directly, and asked the waiter to wear it to Olivia as she pointed it out.

This skirt is bohemian style, with floral totem patterns, mid-length sleeves, no waist, and the skirt is multi-layered with wooden earrings.The skirt is not long, so it can highlight Olivia's long legs.On the back is a big V hollow design, which can also reveal the beautiful back.

Olivia loved the dress too, but she let her hair down.After all, she was going to Cambridge, not a nightclub.

Olivia didn't tell her parents when she went to England this time, she just said that she was going to hang out with her classmates.And she is already 16 years old, and her parents won't care so much.

After getting off the plane, Olivia picked up her backpack and rushed towards the exit.She wanted to go to the hotel quickly, then take a good rest, and meet Tom tomorrow with energy.

But who knew that as soon as she got out of the arrival gate, she was stopped by someone.

"Olivia!"

Her hand was held by someone all of a sudden, and she instinctively wanted to kick her over, but the feeling was very familiar.

"Tom?" Olivia looked back, and it was indeed Tom. "Why are you here? Didn't you meet tomorrow in Cambridge?"

"You come from so far away in the United States, of course I will come to pick you up." Tom hugged Olivia with a smile, he lowered his head and prepared to kiss her on the cheek, but when he remembered what happened before, he couldn't He stopped and let Olivia go, "Let me get the luggage."

"No, no, I'll just carry it by myself." Olivia swung the backpack on her back, turned her head, and flicked her hair desperately.After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, she must be greasy and messy now.And he was just wearing a T-shirt and jeans, so ugly that he couldn't bear to look in the mirror.How could she have imagined that Tom would come to pick him up, otherwise she would definitely have made a mask on the plane.

"Then let's go directly to Cambridge. I'll help you open the hotel. You can visit it directly tomorrow morning. Otherwise, there will be a lot of tourists during the summer vacation, and the tickets may be sold out. But it doesn't matter even if they are sold out. You can get in with me, and we share a student ID card. You are a student anyway, and the administrator will not suspect you. And you are so cute, as long as you smile at them, no one will stop you." Tom was a little excited, and began to say non-stop.

"Wait, Tom, you said you booked a hotel for me?" Olivia stopped Tom, and she didn't expect this.

"Yeah, why, do you want to go back to Mrs. Tang En? In this case, it will be more troublesome to travel from Windsor to Cambridge. Didn't you say that you only have two days, so I made a reservation for you. It's me Is something wrong, Ollie?" Tom said softly, he lowered his head slightly, and looked at Olivia beside him.

"No, Tom, thank you." Olivia looked up at him, she shook her head, and was about to refund the hotel she booked.He is so cute, how can I have the heart to refuse.

The pair took the tube to King's Cross station and then took the train to Cambridge, which took them just over three hours.Maybe it was because she was in a good mood, maybe because she was still young, Olivia was not tortured by jet lag at all.It's just that I'm naked, and I'm a little embarrassed.

The hotel Tom was looking for was near Cambridge, and it was a bed and breakfast hotel.Although it is not a big hotel of international chains, this store has its own characteristics.The hotel is on the edge of the Jian River, and you can see the beautiful river view when you open the window.

"The boss is actually Italian, and the food is delicious." Tom told Olivia the main reason for choosing this restaurant. He knew that she was not too fond of British food.

"Oh, Tom." Olivia gave him a big hug. Why is this man so caring? He is obviously a straight man, but his attention to details is far more than gay.Such a boy, she might not be able to extricate herself from his tenderness in this life.

The author has something to say:

Stanford's current tuition fee is almost more than 4 US dollars a year, which is terrible!
