Chris Watson was stunned at first, and then greeted the girl warmly: "I didn't expect you to come to visit, Miss Angela, please come in and sit down. Would you like something to drink?"
"Thank you, a glass of water is enough." The girl smiled and nodded and sat down on the sofa, "If I remember correctly, Xia Xia should live with you and not with Mrs. Jacqueline, right? ?"
"Yes," Chris handed the glass over, "do you have anything to do with her?"
"Some personal matters, don't you mind if I chat with her privately?" Angela said with a smile.
"Of course not. In fact, I'm getting what I want. Xia Xia has always been unhappy and refused to tell me what happened these days, but you can definitely solve her." Chris turned his head and shouted: "Alex, Alex?"
A 6- or 7-year-old boy who looked very much like Xia Xia quickly ran out from the inside: "What's the matter, Dad?"
Following that, his eyes lit up: "Wow, Angie, it's you! I didn't expect you to come to my house!"
"Hi, Alex," Angela greeted, raising her hand, "don't be so surprised, it's like I've never been here."
"Far less than my sister went to your place, and I almost..." Alex pouted and didn't say any more.
"Okay, Alex, go and call my sister down." Chris shook his head helplessly.
"Is she in the bedroom? I'd better go up there. I believe there is no better place for private chat than the bedroom." Angela said and stood up. Chris then nodded and got up and made a gesture of please, while Alex hesitated and seemed to want to go up to ask for a hug but didn't dare to do so. Angela also saw this thought and passed by him. At the time, he deliberately leaned over and hugged him, because it was just a child and Xia Xia's younger brother anyway.
The Watson family's apartment is not large, Angela quickly came to the outside of the little girl's bedroom, and there was a fluffy bear hanging on the door as before. She reached out and knocked gently on the door, and knocked again after a few seconds of waiting.
"Come in, Alex, the door is unlocked." Xia Xia's voice came from inside, but she seemed weak.
"You seem to be in a bad mood, and you didn't even hear who was outside." Angela immediately smiled and pushed open the door.
"Angie!" Xia Xia, who was crawling on the bed in a Chinese "big" shape, raised her head in surprise and seemed to jump up in the next second, but her face changed immediately, and she climbed on the bed again and pressed the pillow against her own. head on.
Angela, who had already set up her posture and was going to show her a good look when the little guy rushed over, couldn't help but be a little stunned: "What's wrong? What happened? Don't tell me that you started thinking about the meaning of life after not seeing you for three months."
"Sometimes I'd rather think about the meaning of life, even if it's pointless." Xia Xia stuck her head out from under the pillow and said a word, then she shrank back, and then her hands couldn't help but mess up on the pillow. Grasp.
"Okay, tell me what's bothering you," Angela said, closing the door of the room and sitting down on the edge of the bed, "I've always been a good listener to you, haven't I?"
"At least not this time." The little girl said in a loud voice under the pillow, and immediately screamed and turned over, because Angela slapped her little butt firmly.
"Don't spank me!" Xia Xia blushed slightly and glared at Angela with her cheeks puffed up.
However, the initiator did not feel ashamed at all, instead he breathed a sigh of relief on his hand and patted it: "This is just interest, my dear, you must know that you have gnawed on my face for a total of 2,084 mouths, and charged some interest. Isn't it too much?"
"How can there be so many! You are blackmailing!" The little guy called out immediately.
"There are so many, dear, don't think I've never counted them. Besides, if you add in the fact that you and Lulu joined forces, the number will increase by about a quarter... " Angela said seriously.
"It turns out that every time Miss Genius does something, she will record it in detail and can read it from memory at any time," Xia Xia straightened up, kneeled on the bed and folded her arms, looking at Angela angrily, "Tell me, Which planet are you from? What secrets do you have on Earth? If you don’t tell me, I can only inform the police station.”
"Actually, I'm from Zentraedi, and I came to Earth for a secret research..." Angela deliberately made an unfathomable look, and was about to continue speaking, when her neck suddenly followed her face when a pain came .
"Xia Xia!" She suddenly shouted angrily, reaching out to grab the little girl.
How could Xia Xia, who seized the opportunity to take revenge on Angela, still stop in place and wait for her to catch her? How could the furious Angela let her escape, crawled over from the bed with her hands and feet without image, and pressed it back and closed it when the little girl had just opened the door.
Xia Xia screamed and started to run away, while Angela pursued perseveringly, and a chasing battle started in this small room. Although this was the home of the little girl, and the furniture in the small room made the terrain more difficult, Xia Xia was finally caught by Angela and pressed on the bed under the protracted battle.
"Do you know how powerful it is now?" Holding the little girl's hands and feet, Angela sneered and slapped her on her little butt, "It really feels wonderful to bully people."
"What is there to show off by bullying the small!" Xia Xia, who was crawling on the bed unable to move, cried with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, you've always been used to bullying, haven't you?" Angela finally let go of her hand and let the little guy sit up, looking at her pouting and unwilling appearance for a long time before leisurely Sighed: "You know, Xia Xia, the first time I saw you, you were only so big, round and very cute."
As she spoke, she gestured her hands with a nostalgic look on her face, and Xia Xia couldn't help being attracted by her description: "Really? How do I look? My mother said that I like to move around since I was born, unless it is Fell asleep."
"Mrs. Jacqueline is absolutely right," Angela suddenly snorted softly, "When I held you in my arms for the first time, you didn't do anything and just bit me! Come to think of it, you're biting your ear, absolutely right!"
"How is that possible, I was only a few months old at that time." Xia Xia's face was full of disbelief.
"But that's the truth, so I've been wondering if this is your deep-rooted instinct." Angela narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly: "Maybe you starved to death in your previous life, that time in France..." said here Her face changed and she closed her mouth. The curious little girl hurriedly asked, "What happened in France?"
"It's nothing, it's just an accident." Angela waved her hand as if she didn't want to talk more, she immediately smiled and pinched on Xia Xia's face and changed the subject: "Aren't you depressed now?"
The little guy who was eager to hear some secrets was stunned for a while, then he lowered his head and sighed heavily. Angela couldn't help rolling her eyes, and she simply hugged Xia Xia in her arms: "Okay, is there anything you can't tell me? Am I not your best listener?"
"I know, of course I know, it's just..." The little guy snuggled in her arms sighed again, "Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you... More than half a month ago, Pixar announced that Aunt Rowling's "Harry Po Special" series into a movie and auditioning for three stars across the UK - I think that must have been your idea, right?"
"Of course," Angela raised her eyebrows, "did you go to Hermione's audition?"
Xia Xia glanced back at her, then crooked her mouth: "No."
"No?!" Angela couldn't help being taken aback. "How could it be? I remember that you like Joe's novels very much, and you even pestered her to ask for a lot of autographs, and didn't you act in dramas in school?"
"Only once." The little guy corrected sullenly, "Dad took a long vacation half a month ago and took Alex and I to the south of France for a tour. We went from Lyon to Provence to Corcy. Kashima walked around like that, immersed in the scenery of the journey and didn't pay attention to the news outside, so... When I returned to London, the registration deadline was over."
Angela opened her mouth. Before she came, she thought about countless possibilities but didn't expect the result to be like this.
"Then you can..." She closed her mouth as soon as she said a word. No wonder Xia Xia became more depressed after seeing her before. The little girl's self-esteem was at work.
"What a fool." Angela leaned over with a smile and bit the little guy's face lightly.
"Don't bite me!" Xia Xia struggled out of her arms in annoyance, sat cross-legged on the head of the bed, folded her arms, and said dullly, "It doesn't matter if you get eliminated in the first round, but... but... Not even given a chance to…”
She looked at Angela with her mouth flat, she wanted to say something but was not always willing to speak.
Angela stopped her smile, reached out and touched the little guy's head, thought for a few seconds and beckoned: "Change clothes, let's go out now."
"Go out? Now?" Xia Xia blinked, "Can I know what to do?"
"Secret, but I can tell you, it's definitely not what you imagined." Angela raised her eyebrows, "Change clothes, immediately, or I will fight you out now."
"I know, I know, I will order others." The little girl mumbled. However, she quickly changed into trousers, sweater and jacket, and followed Angela downstairs.
"Mr. Chris, I'm going to take Xia Xia out for a while, and I'll bring her back soon and make sure she's intact." Angela said to Chris after coming downstairs.
"Of course no problem, as long as it's not too late." Of course Chris would not object, not once or twice anyway.
Alex looked at his sister and Angela eagerly, and seemed to want to follow, but Angela just touched his head like most of the time: "I'm sorry, not this time, Alex."
"Don't worry, Alex, I'll take you out next time." Xia Xia also comforted her brother.
After Angela dressed up a little, the two walked out of the apartment and got into the car parked on the side of the road.
"Go to 171 Volendary Street." Angela ordered this, and then turned on the phone: "Hi, Bruce, it's me. Are you all still busy? Tell our dear Mr. Director and Magical Mama, I found I've got the right kid for Hermione... yes, you heard that right, that's what I said... Of course, but not now, I'll bring her to see you in about two or three days, so be prepared to be surprised."
After talking with Bruce on the phone, Angela turned off the phone with a calm expression, but Xia Xia, who was beside her, couldn't help but hear a surprised voice: "Angie, the person you just said... Isn't it me?!"
"Who do you think I'm talking about?" Angela asked back with a smile.
"But... but..." Surprise, dazed, apprehensive and other expressions kept changing on the little guy's face.
"It seems that you don't have much confidence, is it because of fear?" Angela couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she saw her like this, "It's no wonder that when most people face pressure beyond their expectations, even if they have the ability, they will choose Back off."
"I'm not afraid!" Xia Xia called out immediately, and the child was still a child. She then straightened her small chest: "So what am I going to do now?"
Angela turned on the phone again without answering: "Hi, Mrs. Beaulevard, how are you? Yes, it's me... I'm on my way to your place, and I have something I want to talk to you about... OK ,thanks."
The car soon arrived at 171 Vorondary Street, one of the oldest streets in London. It still retains many Victorian-style buildings and has a sense of history. Just beyond the two streets, there are many buildings full of modern atmosphere, and there is no sense of disharmony between them.
Through the open door, Angela brought Xia Xia to the front hall quickly, and a well-dressed Caucasian male of about thirty years old came up immediately, nodded with a smile and a gentleman: "Excuse me, two ladies, Is there anything you need to do?"
"I have an appointment with Mrs. Beaulevard, Mr. Klein." Angela took off her sunglasses and hat, shook her hair and gave the same polite smile.
"It turned out to be Miss Angela. I didn't expect you to be back in London again." Klein showed a surprised look, a little more respectful than before, "Please wait in the middle, Madam will be here soon."
Angela nodded slightly, and went straight to the inner room with the little girl with a blank face. The room is not big, but the decoration inside has a feeling that people can't see it. The British classic flavor and the modern fashion atmosphere go hand in hand here. The clothing designs on the table and the semi-finished products on the mannequin racks are unique, especially those clothes that combine modern and classic qualities are very eye-catching, and if they are completed, they will definitely be sought after outside.
"Angie, where are we?" Looking at these exquisite artwork-like designs, Xia Xia suddenly became a little timid.
"I'll tell you later." Angela sipped the black tea brought by the waiter, still selling it.
At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and a middle-aged woman of forty-five or six years old walked in. Although wearing a simple suit, it completely brought out the calm and quiet temperament on his body, making it impossible to ignore.
"I didn't expect you to go back to London at this time, Angie." The woman opened her arms with a smile and hugged Angela lightly, then took her arm and looked up and down and sighed: "It's strange, I I thought that based on your vision, you should know that this light-colored t-shirt should be matched with a dark coat, otherwise, it will inevitably feel a little... frivolous."
"Of course, but the coat I chose was not entirely light," Angela pulled her clothes with a smile. "The pattern and a little accessories can completely cover up the frivolous part. And if people see me blindly, people will also Don't make too many associations - are you satisfied with this explanation, ma'am?"
"Forget it, big star," Madam nodded with a smile, "but do you have to call me Madam?"
"Okay, Aunt Catherine." Angela shrugged helplessly, and then dragged Xia Xia, who was obediently standing by the side, over: "Let's get down to business now, first of all, please have someone measure her body and collect the most detailed data. ."
"Who is this?" Catherine Beaulevard noticed that there was someone else, and couldn't help showing a surprised look.
"Hello, ma'am, my name is Emma Watson, and I'm Angie's friend." Xia Xia immediately bowed slightly, then put her hands behind her back and raised her chest, but she was still a little younger. The hands behind the back were tightly squeezed together.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you, Miss Emma." Although Catherine still kept her smile, there was a hint of arrogance in her calm and quiet temperament. Then she rang the bell on the table and asked the waiter to come and take the little girl to measure her body.
"Follow him obediently, come back after measuring your body, don't run around, you know?" Angela patted Xia Xia's head and said to her. After the little girl and the waiter left, she turned her head again and looked at Madame Beaulevard with a smile: "I need pen and paper and some tools to draw something."
Mrs. Beaulevard didn't ask much and quickly found a simple tool for drawing design drawings for her. After Angela took it, she sat down at the table and started to work.
"Well, black tones, gold and red... What's this? A cape? And a scarf... What's that badge?" Under the watchful eyes of Madame Beaulevard, Angela quickly completed the colored sketches and began to draw. Effect picture to come.
"Don't tell me, I plan to make such a suit for that little guy, dear." Madam asked thoughtfully, holding her chin.
"I did plan this way, you shouldn't refuse, right?" Angela turned her head and smiled slightly.
"Then do you still plan to let me cut the plants for her?"
"I would be very grateful if you would."
