[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

After confirming the dosage and time of taking the medicine, Aglea returned to the living room with water in one hand and medicine in the other.Tom had already wiped out the box of fresh milk puffs, and was smacking his mouth in satisfaction, with white cream still staining the corners of his mouth.

Aglaia put down the water glass and medicine in his hand on the tea table with a funny face, took out a piece of toilet paper and handed it to Tom, saying, "Wipe your mouth, Tom."

Tom took the paper embarrassingly, wiped his mouth, and saw that there was no cream left at the corner of his mouth. Aglaia took the cold medicine and said to him: "Tom, I have this medicine in my hand. I take it twice a day. Take two pills and take it with warm water after meals. You will take the medicine obediently, right?"

Tom nodded quickly. He was afraid that Aglaia would sue Marisa. Aglaia watched over him after taking the medicine, drove him to sleep, and then closed the door and left his house.

Under the supervision of Aglaia, Tom took the medicine honestly for three days, and his illness really got better. Not long after he recovered, he was refreshed and went to LoveHouse to express his gratitude. Thank you Aglea's care these days.

After a few days of recuperation, Tom entered the crew of "None of Me" and started shooting the film.On the day he left, Aglaia didn't go to see him off. She didn't like parting, so she just chose to watch Tom come back in London.

Aglaia's life seems to have returned to the way it was before she met Tom, going to school, leaving school, helping Marisa close the store, and taking care of her younger siblings. Nothing seems to have changed.

But every day, after coaxing Doris to fall asleep, she would sit at her desk, write down her feelings in the diary disguised as "The Complete Works of Shakespeare", then close it, and rewrite it. Put it back on the bookshelf and let it "hidden in the city".

She still reads a lot of books, and whenever she has free time, she spends time in the second-hand bookstore not far from the school, reading with a scroll in her hand.As time went by, the owner of the bookstore also got to know the little blonde girl.

Every time Aglaia comes, she spends hours looking at it, either standing quietly and reading, or sitting cross-legged on the floor to read. She cherishes books very much and never flips and scrolls lightly. She is always so peaceful. Holding the book in both hands to read, gently flipping through the pages.

Therefore, the boss doesn’t mind Aglaia’s move to read books for free. Most of those who open bookstores have a good impression of books. It’s rare to meet such a child who cherishes books and loves learning. It doesn't hurt to not buy it.

Soon it was Christmas, and the school was on holiday. Tom was busy making movies and didn’t come back. He just sent everyone a small gift. Marissa also took the children and sent him a homemade Christmas gift. Tom received When I arrived, I also called to say that I liked it very much.

After Christmas, major shopping malls started their annual discount activities [Note 1]. Marisa took Cronos and worked hard in the crowds to grab the clothes and some daily necessities for the whole family in the new year.

So Kronos got a nice pair of new sneakers, Morpheus got a new shirt, the rowdy sisters Elito and Maia got new pens, and Doris got several pretty cartoon hairpins. Even Aglaia, who was adamant that she had everything she wanted, got a sky blue tracksuit suit, which matched the girl's blond hair and blue eyes, which was very beautiful.

In the new semester, the youngest sister, Doris, has also reached the age of school, and Aglaia and Kronos have entered the voice-changing period one after another. For the sake of their voices, Aglaia and several classmates who have also entered the voice-changing period, Both quit the choir.

Not only that, but Aglaia's daily diet is getting lighter day by day, and she tries not to shout loudly, and she doesn't speak when she can.

Children entering adolescence begin to change rapidly, and it seems that every day will be a little different.

Both Aglaia and Cronus have begun to grow taller, and Cronus is more typical, but in a few months, Cronus, who was originally a little shorter than Aglaia, is now Already half a head taller than her, it's amazing.

Aglaia smiled, pinched Cronus' cheeks, and joked: "North, you really grew taller, and now I look like your sister."

Kronos, who had entered the voice-changing period, became more and more reticent about words because he didn't want to speak in that drake voice. He pulled Aglaia's troublesome hand off his face and said, "Don't make trouble."

The girl laughed, and continued to tease him by clinging to the boy's shoulder. The boy's face was full of impatience, but there was a gentle smile in his eyes.

Tom came back in mid-to-late 2006, after Aglaia's 14th birthday.The taller girl wore the sky-blue sportswear that Marisa bought, locked the car as usual, and went into the dessert shop to help. Then she saw Tom leaning on the counter and talking to Marisa.

"Tom! You're back?!" the girl exclaimed in surprise. Tom turned his head and smiled at the girl, with his neat little white teeth shining. He opened his arms and said to the girl, "Darling, no Give me a welcome hug?"

His hair has grown long, and the curly hair makes him look like a furry animal. His round face has lost some weight in the past few months of shooting, but it looks more energetic.

The girl threw herself into his arms and hugged Tom's neck. Tom also bent his legs slightly to accommodate Aglaia, who was shorter than him. He reached out and patted the girl's back twice, and buried his head in the girl side of the neck. 【Note 2】

Aglaia withdrew from Tom's arms at the right time, and said to him happily: "Welcome back, Tom, how is the movie going?"

Tom smiled: "Oh, great, I think I learned a lot from the filming process of this film, which can be described as a great benefit. This director is very interesting, her work is simple, difficult, and open ending , not only looks European, but also portrays the British very deeply. Amazing!"

Seeing Tom who was excited about the movie, Aglaia felt warm in her heart. After Tom finished speaking with a smile, she asked, "Then what are you going to do next? Continue to make movies?"

Tom said: "Well, it's not sure yet. I haven't received a new offer yet. You know, Aglaia, job opportunities don't just come and go. Wherever I say, there will be."

Aglaia said: "But I believe, Tom, you are so good, there will be new acting opportunities to find you soon." Tom smiled and thanked: "Oh, I would like to borrow your good words, darling."

After talking for a few more words, Tom left with Marisa's newly made puffs. Aglaia stood at the door, watched his back disappear into the corner of the street, smiled, and walked back to the store to help.

She didn't feel disappointed, at least Tom had returned to London, didn't she, at least she could breathe the air of the same city as him, and meet him in the dessert shop from time to time, that was enough.

The 14-year-old Aglaia already looks like a slim girl. With her delicate and lovely appearance, tall stature, and her brilliant blond hair, although she is not the most eye-catching girl in the school, she is definitely Many boys are vying to be the object of courtship.

Almost every day in the classroom, she can find a few love letters from her drawer. Sometimes, between classes, she will be blocked by boys in the corridor or by the playground to confess.

Boys at this age are at the stage of being curious about girls. It seems that their brains are ruled by adolescent hormones, and they flock to beautiful girls all day long.

They would gather together in twos and threes to discuss the beautiful girls around them. If a girl passed by them, some would whistle, and some would simply act handsome.

Aglaia is a little funny, maybe because she has always put herself in the position of an older sister at home since she was a child, and Agleya has matured prematurely without too many childish years.

When the girls of some families were fighting over trivial matters, Aglaia was helping Marisa to take care of her younger siblings.

In her life, she didn't have much space for these romantic things, she silently gave her only woman's love to Tom.

This kind of life experience and this state of mind made her look at these young people of the same age as if she was looking at naive younger brothers. She couldn't feel the kind of affection between men and women for these boys. She only felt that their reactions were so naive. .

Things seemed to be in an endless loop. The more Aglaia refused, the more challenging the boys felt, and the more they wanted to chase her. The more the boys chased her, the more Aglaya It is resistance and indifference.

Kronos watched coldly, and knew in his heart that Aglaia hadn't completely let go of that Tom. He had lost his temper with Aglaia a few times, and when he saw Aglaia being so recalcitrant, he turned off the fire. up.

Just like the usual practice, he has never had anything to do with Aglaia, he has always been the one who compromises, and he is too lazy to confront her head-on, he just hopes that the cruelty of time can wear away Aglaya. This sudden so-called love made her understand what real life is.

He also complained about Aglaia's "Electra complex", otherwise she would not dislike people of her own age, but like an old man who is 11 years older than herself.

Aglaia slapped him to protest his "old man" evaluation, she said: "Tom is not an old man, he is only 25 years old this year, and he is still a young man."

Kronos curled his lips and said, "Compared to us, she is an old man. I said, what do you like about him?"

Aglaia smiled like a treasure: "There are many. I like his erudition, his gentleness, his humility, his optimism and gentleman, and his sometimes childishness."

Kronos rolled his eyes, remained silent, and thought to himself: Hmph, I want to see how long your so-called liking can last, and you will definitely leave it behind in a short time.

At this time, Cronus still didn't know that his Leia was unexpectedly long-lasting, and that she would spend such a long time to prove that her feelings were absolutely sincere.

Perhaps Aglaia's blessing really played a role. In the second half of the year, Tom received two drama appointments. One was a drama, and he was invited to act in Shakespeare's "Cymbeline".

In this drama, Tom will have the opportunity to play two roles, playing both the leading actor Pursume and the villain Cloton, which makes Tom, a Shakespeare fan, very excited.And another drama appointment is a supporting role in a TV series.

He started wandering the streets with his mobile phone all day, memorizing his lines. Once he met Aglaia by chance, and he immediately chatted with the girl about "Cymbeline" along the way.

Fortunately, the girl is also a person who often reads Shakespeare's works, so she can chat with him a few words, and even express her own views on the works, which makes Tom very fancy.

In fact, Aglaia is also a very special existence to him. Before that, he had never met a girl who was so considerate and tolerant at Aglaia's age. Aren't the girls here sensitive and proud? Because of their youth, they are given enough rights.

But Aglaia is completely different. She has little restlessness of a teenager. Often when talking to her, Tom will forget that she is a little girl in the middle of the conversation, and regard her as an equal adult.

He thought, maybe this is what makes Aglaia so special.They've always gotten along well, he has to say, finding someone who can listen to you nagging all the time and keep smiling without complaining is not an easy job, and for a real chatterbox, it's quite precious and a novel experience.
