"oh, jingle beells, jingle bells, jingle all the way..." The light and cheerful singing rang in the living room, Angela dressed up and sat in front of the grand piano and sang "Merry Christmas" - the so-called costume Dressing up is to wear all the clothes she usually resists. Well, she understands it this way, there is no way, who makes playing the piano and singing on Christmas Eve her own repertoire.
After the song was over, applause broke out in the living room. All the people who spent Christmas at the manor, the elders, the housekeeper, and the servants all expressed their admiration for her wonderful singing, and even Lulu clapped their palms with joy.
But the girl did not stand up and bowed, but reached out and tapped her head lightly, then smiled slightly, and continued to play with her hands raised. As soon as the music came out, all the listeners were immediately stunned. The repertoire was very familiar, one of the classic Christmas songs, "Silent Night", but the girl's playing method was not usual. The sense of rhythm and pause was obviously very strong. She actually used jazz playing method to interpret this song!
"Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is bright..."
However, not only the playing method has changed, Angela also sings in an alternative singing style, biting hard at the beginning of each sentence, then floating up in the middle, and then falling heavily at the end, with a full sense of rhythm, but at the same time She also has a small color scheme, which is very compatible with the tune. This kind of adaptability has to surprise her musical talent.
The applause sounded again, including the grandfather who was not interested in jazz, and the girl performed it in a unique way. Angela stood up and bowed her knees to everyone with the corner of her skirt, announcing the end of her small special performance.
"When are you going to let me call you aunt instead?" After hugging the elders and saying good night in turn, Angela whispered in her ear when hugging Julia.
The other party's face turned red, he glanced at Frank, and then said softly, "I don't have the power to decide, my dear."
"Please, you have brought Lulu to our Christmas dinner. You see, since grandpa didn't say anything after meeting in the summer vacation, that's the default. What are you hesitating about!" Angela rolled her eyes and said.
"Okay, Angie! Don't always be a kid!" Julia couldn't help but tap her head gently.
"Okay, okay, I don't care, I'll go to bed." The girl shrugged, then came to her grandfather and hugged the old man: "Good night, grandpa, I'm going to rest."
"Good night, dear." The old man smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Good night, Dudu!" Angela tapped the cat that was curled up on her grandfather's lap, and after provoking the other party's meowing protest for a while, she dragged the yawning Lulu upstairs. On the second floor, the girl was about to send the little guy to her room. Who knew that Lulu pulled the corner of her shirt: "Sister Chris, can I sleep with you?"
"Why?" Angela was a little surprised.
The other party pouted: "I just thought, can't I?"
Seeing her mixture of stubbornness and hope, the girl wanted to agree, but she was afraid that she would wake up at any time in the middle of the night like her younger brother and younger sister—having tormented her grandfather's maid for several days—she couldn't help but hesitate. Lu Lu immediately turned into a pitiful look, which made Angela, who had no resistance to children, even more hard to refuse her, so she nodded: "Okay, but you must be obedient."
"Understood, I will be obedient." The little guy swore to assure.
One big and one small quickly came out of Angela's room, pushed the door and entered. Angela couldn't help but be stunned, someone was already inside. It was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, with beautiful smooth long dark brown hair, dressed in a maid's outfit, and was making the bed.
Angela is a little strange. This girl seems to be here today. She has seen it several times at the dinner party and is always around her, but who would let such a young child come out as a maid
"Are you going to rest, miss?" The girl straightened up and asked with a smile, seeing that she was very handy, not like she just did this.
"Yes. Oh, by the way, get another futon. Lulu wants to sleep with me." Angela pointed to the little guy beside her. Although she had met several times before, she didn't know it until now Looking at this girl carefully, she has big eyes and big lips, but she is very beautiful, giving people a feeling of deja vu.
"Okay, miss." After the girl replied, she immediately went out. The other party moved quickly. Angela coaxed Lulu to come out after washing up. She had already made the bedding.
"Okay, thank you... By the way, what's your name?" The girl asked a little embarrassedly. She could name every servant in Grandpa's house. Ask, so she will feel sorry.
"You can call me Annie, miss." The other party said with a smile, and she had to say that her smile was charming.
"Okay, Annie, I wish you could call me Angie or Angela." The girl shrugged. "By the way, you're British? But you have an American accent? If you can, tell me why. A girl like you came here to be a maid?"
"Actually, I'm not the maid of the Duke's Manor." Anne smiled calmly. "I'm an American, and Mr. Brian Benjamin is my guardian."
"Really, that means..." Angela, who was a little excited, was suddenly stunned. She blinked and looked at Annie in surprise. The girl was not an idiot. Pretending to be busy beside me, I wondered what was going on with my knees, but how did the godfather get involved
"Good night, miss, I'm staying in the room opposite you, you can call me if you have anything." Annie left the room with a slight forehead, but Angela only reacted at this time. She didn't know whether to smile bitterly or what. It was her own. Christmas present
After shaking her head, she changed Lulu into pajamas and put her on the bed. Although the little guy yawned again, he still asked carefully, "Sister Chris, can I watch TV for a while before going to sleep?"
"No, my dear, it's too late."
"Please, just a moment."
Seeing that the other party launched the "poor" move to kill again. Angela was really helpless, so she had to agree: "Okay, just for a while, you won't condone you!"
There are no TV shows to watch, music, soap operas or factual interviews, but Lulu sitting on the bed is still happy to change the channel, maybe what she wants to do is not watch TV but play with the remote control! Angela originally wanted to take this opportunity to hide to the side and think about the original script that made no progress, but now she has to give up being with the little guy.
Finally, Lulu fixed a channel. The TV was playing the BBC's signature TV series "Mr. Bean". Rowan Atkinson's funny appearance made the little guy giggle, but Angela was rather boring. She likes more movies and music. Except for the ones she likes in particular, she only has a general understanding of TV series, so she still has more impressions of Rowan's bean appearance from "The Bean Commissioner" and "Mr. Bean's Holiday", especially "The Commissioner of Bean", was constantly funny all the way, and the plot that it didn't turn around until the end really made "he" at that time can't help laughing.
Wait, "Special Bean"! The girl's eyes lit up, and she suddenly seemed to have caught something, but that trace of inspiration was always wandering outside her own thoughts, and she couldn't catch it.
Think about it, but don't let it run away! The desire for her own completely original script made Angela close her eyes and carefully recall the thoughts just now. What is it? what is it? correct! Final turnaround! The girl finally caught that thread of thought, yes! Why not create a protagonist who keeps screwing things up and then ends up turning around because of a series of mishaps? !
Yes! Angela let out a happy cry in her stomach and was about to find paper and a pen, but then she found that Lulu had fallen asleep at some point. After thinking about it, she gently took the remote control from her hand and closed it. Turned on the TV, then laid her flat and covered her with the quilt. The little guy turned over, and quarreled with each other, still fell asleep and didn't wake up.
The girl tiptoed off the bed, walked out of the bedroom, knocked on the door on the opposite side, and soon, the door was opened.
"Do you need anything. Miss?" Anne was still dressed as a maid, and she didn't sleep.
"I want to write something in another place, can I do it in your room?" Angela Yang Yang's notebook.
"Of course." The other party let go.
"Thank you, but anyway, I like you to call me Angie."
"Okay, little... Angie."
Annie's room is not big, because she lives here temporarily, so there is no girl's decoration, but it is very neat. Angela sat down at the desk and began to fill in the outline. After writing down several characters, she thought about it several times, and finally decided to set the character of the protagonist as self-confident and arrogant. Middle school students who can sort everything out on their own are full of laughter in the process of stealing things. If they weren't lucky, they might have failed completely, and only accidentally turned around and won a big victory at the end.
However, in this way, it is too close to the routine of "The Bean Commissioner", which is obviously not what I want. It seems that I should think of a way! Angela tapped her head lightly with the pen cap.
At this time, Annie kindly brought a hot drink in front of her, Angela took a sip, and ordered something to her: "Thank you, Annie."
"What I should do." The other party still smiled, and the familiar feeling came to his mind again.
"Where have we met?" the girl couldn't help asking.
"I don't think so." Annie shook her head.
Angela took a closer look at her, and the familiar feeling became clearer, or because...
"Hey, Anne, has anyone ever said that your eyes look a lot like Mrs. Hepburn..." The girl was about to say something joking, but she was stunned quickly, looking at each other with her mouth open, Annie was startled Jumping, hurriedly waving in front of her: "Are you all right, Angie?"
"No, I'm fine..." Angela looked at her oddly, "May I ask your name? Anne? Oh, I mean your full name."
Although Anne felt that her expression was not right, she still answered honestly: "Anne Hathaway, Mr. Benjamin did not ask me to change my surname."
Listen to this already 80% possible answer. The girls couldn't help but want to moan, what the hell, they chose Anne Hathaway for me! how is this possible? ! Am I crazy this Christmas or are they crazy? !
———
A little snowflakes fell from the sky, dotted with big apples wrapped in silver, New York just after Christmas, the festive atmosphere is still strong, after all, it is the New Year again.
"Miss Kelly, this is what I want." Natalie put the basket on the work table at the cashier and greeted the other party happily.
"Well, you're here to buy again today, big star?" Kelly took out the items in the basket with a smile, marked the price and put them in a paper bag.
"We always divide labor and cooperate. Mom is going to buy other things, so I will be in charge of this place." Natalie shrugged, noncommittal about the name of the female cashier. With the filming of one film every year, although she is a supporting role except "Killer Leon", her influence is also expanding. At least people around the community who like her call her that.
However, in the girl's mind, she did not like this title. She walked out of the supermarket with a paper bag and walked towards home. A big star should be used for that guy, right, Natalie thought, glancing at the TV in the street cupboard from time to time.
"...and your hearts left in konbt, don"t five up on your faith..." This song is constantly playing on the street. It has to be said that it is very suitable for the festive atmosphere.
Beautiful music, a beautiful voice, an angelic face, and countless titles. This is Angela! Every classmate and every friend around Natalie likes her. It would be no exaggeration to say that she is an American girl idol. In fact, if Natalie hadn’t concealed her acquaintance with Angela from her classmates and friends, Maybe, every day someone would entrust her to deliver letters, sign them, and so on. Seriously, if Angela didn't do something to her, she would definitely be a member of her huge FANS group.
In Natalie's heart, she felt that she should hate her. Every time she thought of the two sexes against her will, countless emotions flooded her heart, disgust or dissatisfaction, but at the same time there was desire and expectation. Let her not be able to bring up that thought no matter what.
Damn, I'm only 13! She is rape! All the time back home, she was a little resentful because of the person she suddenly remembered on the way, so much that her parents thought she was wronged in front of her. But when she started to help decorate the house, she couldn't help but look out the window. It was New Year's Day soon. She didn't come for Christmas. Will it come on New Year's Day
Maybe the Lord heard her voice, and soon a car appeared in her eyes, and then drove straight to the door of her house. After it stopped, a girl in a striped velvet hat jumped out, a pink scarf hanging down to her waist , very cute and pretty.
Natalie, who was watching all this from the window, couldn't help but want to groan. She, who was still thinking about whether the other party would come or not, immediately changed her mind and did not want to contact Angela. She quickly left the window and was about to run upstairs, but before she reached the first steps, the doorbell rang and—
"Happy New Year, Mrs. Shirley."
"Oh, Happy New Year, Angie! Nice to see you, hey Nat, look who's here!"
Natalie sighed in her stomach, then turned around and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Angie!"
But the other party didn't answer, but jumped up and hugged her firmly to show her intimacy. Angela's action attracted kind laughter from the couple, but Natalie, who was hugged, gnashed her teeth secretly. , Because of the angle, the parents didn't see it. When the other party was hugging her, he gently squeezed her little butt with one hand and kissed her neck at the same time!
"Hi, Nat, long time no see." Angela greeted her with a smile after the hug.
"Yeah, it's been a long time, I'm really glad to see you..." As an educated girl with good self-control, Natalie just wanted to stare at her, but when she saw the smile on her face , not even the thought of staring at her.
what's wrong with me? ! Natalie thought gloomily, but fortunately, Angela did not have any other extra actions, but sat on the sofa and chatted with her parents. Natalie wanted to make things difficult for her, from time to time. Picking up some strange topics, Angela didn't refuse. If she knew, she would discuss it with her as much as possible, and if she didn't know, she honestly didn't know. Such an attitude won Avner's praise, and Natalie had to admit that such Angela was very attractive.
"By the way, I brought back some small gifts from London for you." Angela said, took out several well-packaged boxes from her backpack, and handed them to Shirley, Avner and Naruto with a smile. In Tully's hands, these were indeed small gifts, handicrafts bought at the Brastone Handicraft Market.
"Thank you so much, they look exquisite," Avner said, turning to the blades of the little windmill in his hand.
"Actually, I didn't know what was right for you, so I had to choose a few, as long as you like it." The girl said with a smile.
"I think I can put them in the bedroom." Natalie looked curiously with the Russian nesting doll in her hand, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Sure enough, Angela's eyes lit up and hurriedly said, "Okay, I can help you."
"Well, I think I can do it myself." Natalie said hurriedly, then picked up the box with the nesting dolls, and ran upstairs. She knew that as long as she stepped into the bedroom first, nothing would happen. There will be.
But just after she ran up the stairs, seeing the room in front of her, a pair of hands suddenly hugged her from behind and hugged her tightly. Natalie exclaimed, trying to struggle, but the wet feeling in her ears It made her body soften suddenly, and the box in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Stop it, Angie! It's in the passage, you'll be seen!" Natalie whispered and struggled, then turned around and was immediately pressed against the wall, followed by two warm roses against her lips.
Natalie whimpered and shook her head, trying to resist, resist, but this only made Angela suck her lips, her tongue more recklessly, and soon she became confused, and then indulged in, gasping for breath. They repeatedly entangled and teased each other, until after the two sides exhausted their strength to separate, the silver saliva line was still connected to the lips of the two girls.
"Angie! You're an asshole!" Natalie cursed in a low voice, her head bowed. She didn't want to look at the other person's expression. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to cry. Why could she treat anything calmly, even her parents recognized her decision, but she couldn't resist Angela's violation.
"I'm sorry, Nat..." The other party said in a low voice, hugging her lightly, as if talking to himself: "I think I haven't seen you for too long, so I can't help it. If I hurt you because of this, I apologize. But I love you, really!"
She said, lowered her head and kissed her lips again and again, trying to make her feel better, Natalie still kissed herself with the other party, and the fluctuating emotions finally calmed down, as if she had escaped from something. come out.
She shook her head: "Okay, we still put things away, let's go down quickly."
———
boom! The car door was closed, and after waving to Natalie's family through the car window, the car started to head towards Grandpa's house. Angela leaned on the seat and looked at the roof of the car, sighing softly.
"What's wrong? It doesn't look like your spirit is very good?" asked Pu Guanshui, who was driving.
"Even if it's not good, it doesn't matter to you!" The girl snorted, then rolled her eyes and sat up straight: "Can't you tell me where my uncle lives?"
"I've already said it, Master Shifu and I have told you that I can't tell you, and I can't take you there." The other party shrugged, "If you insist, you can tell it."
If grandma agrees, I won't ask you! Angela muttered dissatisfied, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, what are you going to do in France for Christmas? Date your girlfriend?"
"No, my brother and her wife live in France, I just went to see him." If Angela could see Puguanshui, she would definitely find a strange look on his face, but it's a pity that he has his back now She was obsessed with the girl, so Angela gave a soft oh and stopped asking. (Don't worry, I won't give him a drop~)
If it was normal, she would definitely continue to ask as if checking the account. She will never give up until she has a complete picture of the other party's family situation. This guy has been like a living treasure in her eyes since Halloween - even if he is very good at kung fu - and because of her grandma, she can be regarded as something for her. It's obedience.
However, now, Angela has no such thoughts, she is still thinking about the situation at Natalie's house. To be honest, when she came to visit their family this time, she didn't think about doing anything to Natalie, but, for some unknown reason, as soon as she saw her, she immediately felt the urge to push her down.
This in the end is why? Leaning on the back, Angela closed her eyes and thought. That feeling seemed to have happened before, but when was it
She suddenly moved in her heart, thinking of the lingering with Kate in Edinburgh just a few days ago, that was on the 26th. They made an appointment to visit Rowling, so they stayed in Edinburgh for one night. Kate couldn't resist the temptation of Angela, who was already very different from the original. In the same hotel, the two girls had sex again, changing the tricks. The whole night, it can really be said to be lingering to death, and it was not until the dawn of the day that they embraced each other and fell asleep.
Looking back now, that scene can't help but make people blush. But if you analyze your psychology at that time, you will find that in addition to family and love, there is also a desire for Kate's feelings! If you think about it carefully, this kind of desire appeared as early as before when I was cuddling and kissing with Jessica, and I didn’t realize it. The size, only when she is facing Natalie will be surging out.
So what is this desire? Angela thought about it again, and suddenly she was a little horrified to find that she also had this desire when she faced Rachel at Kate's house that day! Even earlier, it might have been there when we first met, but I just didn't notice it because I was too jealous, maybe that's why she recommended Rachel for Titanic, and The reason why when I ran into Rachel at Kate's house, the original jealousy had become invisible! It's all because of that damn possessiveness! Does that mean my feelings for Natalie are based solely on possessiveness? The girl thought frantically, maybe consciously or unconsciously, she just skipped something.
Heck! This is impossible! Angela obviously doesn't accept this conclusion, she clutches her fingers irritably and twists and turns, I like her so much, I have collected all the news about her, how could I just be based on possessiveness...
"Hey! Angie! How are you?" A voice pulled her out of her wild thoughts.
Angela calmed down. Only then did he realize that the car had stopped at the entrance of grandpa's villa. Pu Guanshui was looking in the rearview mirror doubtfully and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just a little distracted. Okay, I'm going to get out of the car." Angela said something under cover, calmed down, then opened the door and got out.
No, I'm not that kind of person. After getting off the car, Angela has calmed down completely. Yes, I do not deny that I once had such possessiveness and was dominated by it in my feelings, but the past does not mean the present and the future! I know what I'm doing!
Is it really? Maybe, it's still a long time anyway, everyone can wait and see.
———
Although this psychological problem has been solved, this New Year is still not a pleasant one. Of course, for Angela, who has become accustomed to acting, she is still perfect in front of her elders. , she did not forget to give Vincent the manuscript from Aunt Rowling.
"Honey, to be honest I don't think there's much value in this story - of course, I'm not saying the lady is bad at writing, but fiction like this is only for children, we don't publish children's books." In Vincent In Te's office, he said this to Angela.
If Angela used to say a few words softly, but she was bored these days, so she said it directly: "Okay, Uncle Vincent, I just say, if you reject this book, you must Will regret it for life. I can swear in my name!"
"Hey, Angie..." Vincent wanted to smile bitterly, but the girl continued: "Also, this book is not a pure children's book, you should see that this is just the first book, the book's The specific trend is far from conclusive, and you are so eager to draw conclusions, which is not the level it should be."
"Well, this author, does Ms. Rowling have anything to do with you?" Vincent asked again at this time.
"It doesn't matter, we just know each other, and I think I can help her. That's it, I have asked my uncle to help with the publisher in the UK. It's fine if you don't want to. But, I repeat, if you If you reject this book, you will regret it for the rest of your life!" The girl spread her hands.
"Okay, okay, I see," Vincent raised his hands, "actually, I didn't say no, it's just that we don't publish children's books, but since you're so sure, maybe I'll classify it as Try it on magic."
Having said that, he paused. Another smile appeared: "By the way, maybe you can write another novel in the world you built. You must know that there are many foreshadowings in "Ten Stories of Azeroth"."
Angela gave the other party a white look, and shrugged irrevocably: "We'll talk about it later!"
After coming out of Vincent, the girl went to Natalie's house again, this time to say goodbye, and she would fly to Los Angeles with her parents later in the afternoon.
Like the previous days, Angela generously hugged Natalie and kissed her cheek while people watched. It is sensible for her to use actions to show herself. However, although she did not take the opportunity to give the other party a French wet kiss, her hands were still not very honest, but even this made Natalie a little surprised, Somewhat suspicious.
After that, the girl finally left New York, the only regret is. Although several friends in New York - Liv, Scarlett, etc. - have visited. But Avril, who was close at hand, failed to go. The little guy has complained in the letter more than once, maybe only when the summer vacation, or when she can travel freely, go to Canada to see her.
The troubles about herself and Natalie can be put aside, but another trouble has not been solved. If it was said that when she was in London, this trouble was not big, but after learning about the specific situation in New York, this trouble made her a little bit. scared.
"Well, okay, let me introduce, this is Aunt Jennifer, the housekeeper, she is a very kind person, don't be afraid of her!" In the living room of her villa, Angela smiled at Anne Heather Wei introduces the housekeeper.
"Hello, Ms. Jennifer." The girl shook hands with each other generously.
"You are Anne, Mrs. Elena has already told you about your situation on the phone, welcome here." The housekeeper said with a smile, "If possible, I will take you here now and introduce Get the others."
Annie looked at Angela hesitantly.
"It's okay, let's go." The girl said, pushed her, and motioned to go with the housekeeper, don't worry about her.
Annie nodded and left with Jennifer, while Angela greeted her parents after their backs disappeared in the corridor, and went straight upstairs to go back to her room. She didn't let go until the bedroom door slammed behind her. He sighed, and threw himself on the bed.
Annie... God knows what to do with her! Angela buried her head in the pillow and thought in anguish, especially after knowing that her father committed suicide by jumping off a building in 1990 because he failed to sell the yen, her back felt chills.
Is it your own wings? God knows! Well, the Plaza Accord robbery of Japan is one of the few financial turmoils she can remember, but she can't really recall mentioning the Plaza Accord or something in front of her parents or whatever in the '90s, so How did this fan out? this is too scary!
Angela suddenly jumped up and came to the full-length mirror. Looking at herself inside, she was still so beautiful and moving, but because of this person, other people's homes were destroyed. This is really...
No no no! The girl shook her head again and again, this is not right, who knows what will happen to the butterfly effect? Just as "The Sixth Sense" spawned many horror films in advance after its release in 1993, such as "Scream" ("Scream" not "Scream") released before Halloween in 1994.
Well, in other words, if many of the children that should have been born were not born because of her rebirth, should they all be counted on her head
Just after she was relieved by this thought, Angela became depressed again. After all, Annie's situation was different. It would be better if she was not born, but the problem now is that she was born, and her father committed suicide, her mother ran away, and her family was destroyed. Now, as the only variable in this world, then it's not because of yourself, but because of whom
This conclusion made her very depressed, as if she had become the murderer who ruined Annie's family, which is obviously not the case! Angela had a headache.
So now she can only think about the good side. For example, she should thank the godfather for choosing Annie and make her her personal playmate, which can make up for it. Otherwise, if one day Annie became a strip girl for family reasons, and she found out, wouldn't she be guilty of guilt
"OK, keep smiling, dear, you have to keep smiling, remember, treat her like a sister." Angela made an expression in the mirror, and then went out, she wanted Jennifer to arrange Annie to live in her own Opposite or next door, so she can take care of her. Of course, as for who takes care of whom, it's really hard to say.
In this way, Anne Hathaway walked into Angela's life, and I believe that there will also be many stories between them!
