- The early morning sun shines on Los Angeles, the calendar is turned to February 1st, and a new day begins. The spacious dining room of the mansion was filled with the aroma of breakfast. Some daily newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times were also placed on the dining table. Madeleine was still busy at the kitchen cabinet.
"Is it safe?"
Lily had just sat down on the chair and was about to get the newspaper when she stopped and asked her mother across the dining table.
"Everything has been checked." Tawarman looked at his daughter's expression. She looked good. "Lily, mother wants to discuss something with you."
"What?" Lily opened the "Los Angeles Times" and read it a little casually. The entertainment section was missing a page.
¡°Let¡¯s tell the school about your health, okay?¡± Tawerman asked.
Lily immediately looked at her mother and frowned, "Are you afraid that my academic pressure will be too great?"
"Yes, mom is worried about you." Tawerman smiled comfortingly.
Students with ADHD will have different assessments and treatments, such as less homework and more time for tests and examinations.
Harvard-Westlake is one of the top private schools in Los Angeles and one of the top 30 best high schools in the United States. It is not a public school where students just hang around. Homework for each subject is usually 1.5-2.5 hours a day, in order to test students who stay up all night reading. There are many people there.
In addition to academic studies, there are also the pursuit of extracurricular activities and the cultivation of talents in all aspects. Overall, it has reached a cruel point.
Lily has always had high demands on herself and worked hard to prove that she is not a playboy. But she is an ADHD patient, and her recent situation has been very bad. She still has to stick to her previous pace of life. How can Tawerman not be worried.
"No." Lily said solemnly, "I have twice the exam time. Then the whole school will know that I have ADHD on the second day, and the whole world will know on the third day." She smiled, "I'm fine, I Already let go."
Tawerman had no choice but to laugh, "Then don't force yourself. It's okay if your grades are worse, as long as you don't skip classes or do bad things. Mom has no requirements for you now."
"Okay, ma'am." Lily nodded, "I have ADHD, but I'm not a fool. I don't do bad things. I still have so many good things to do, I can't keep myself busy!"
She read the newspaper again and suddenly said: "That guy was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director. I knew it yesterday. I just wanted to say." She looked at her mother, "When it comes to him making movies, I The judgment is right, you are wrong. But about what kind of person he is, it seems you are right, haha."
"Baby" Tawarman wanted to say something, blinked and said, "Come on."
Lily hummed and continued reading the incomplete newspaper.
¡¡
After school at Harvard-Westlake High School in the afternoon, various activities began, including numerous news organizations, interviews, writing articles, busy school newspapers, school magazines, etc.
The Journalism Society is going to do a special report on the recent congressional legislation to tighten the immigration policy of the United States. We have already conducted interviews on campus. Many of the students are new immigrants and second-generation immigrants. Naturally, they do not like the tightening policy, but the key issue is illegality. Immigration is legalized, so attitudes vary.
Some say they are against it, believing that it violates the spirit of the U.S. Constitution and will lead to the country's gradual decay; some say it is worthy of discussion because the problem of illegal immigration is becoming increasingly serious. If it is not governed, the country will further fall into chaos.
Today, the interview team went to the Los Angeles office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Bureau for a visit.
At this time, in the bright deputy director's office, several men and women from the film crew set up camera positions, and Lily, who was in charge of the interview, was talking to Deputy Director Brown-Arquette on the other side of the desk about the interview questions to be discussed later. After agreeing, Arquette smiled cheerfully and said, "Ms. Collins, I am your father's fan. Can you give me his autograph?"
Lily laughed first and nodded: "Okay, I will send it to you, a signed album."
"Thank you so much." Arquette was overjoyed.
When everyone set up the camera and turned on the camera, Lily smiled and looked in the direction of the camera and said: "Hello everyone, I am Lily Collins. Today we have the honor to interview Brown Arquette, deputy director of USCIS Los Angeles office. Mr. Arquette , thank you for accepting our interview.¡±
"You're so polite." Aquette said, feeling really honored.
¡°Recently, the domestic immigration laws will be reformed. Could you please introduce us to the illegal immigration situation in Los Angeles?¡± Lily asked seriously.
"Of course." Arquette replied immediately.
¡¡
"What's going on with this newspaper? I told you not to do this again."
The morning sun shines,In the dining room of the house, Lily held up the February 20 Los Angeles Times and looked at her mother angrily, "What did Ye Wei do again? Yesterday was his birthday, right? What did he do again?" ?¡±
"No." Tawerman said truthfully, "The boy didn't do anything. Today, Monday, there is his column."
"Oh yes. Mom, you don't have to do this again." Lily sat down on the chair. "There's no need to cut his column. It's completely fine. It's over."
Tawarman looked at his daughter. A few days ago, she cut her long hair into medium-short hair and permed it into slightly curled hair. She looked much more mature and refreshing, and her complexion was very good. Knowing that information isolation is only a buffer period measure and that it is time to end, I said hello.
"The charity association is planning to hold an Oscar charity event. Our school is very eye-catching this year. Jake Gyllenhaal is nominated, and there is also "Little Miss Sunshine". We just want to hold an event for children." Lily. Looking at the newspaper, he said, "Mom, what suggestions do you have?"
As the long-term president of the Women¡¯s Club of Beverly Hills, Taverman is a master at organizing events and asked, ¡°What format are you going to use?¡±
"We have agreed on a viewing party. Let me invite a few teenage stars to be guests, preferably that bastard Ye Wei." Lily said with a clear smile, "Don't let him go to the Kodak Theater to join in the fun, he can't get it anyway. award."
Seeing her easily making fun of Ye Wei, Tawarman was very happy. Lily was really letting go.
¡°And who knows if that guy is going to burst onto the stage and do a striptease, we can¡¯t let that happen.¡±
Lily said with a smile, her thoughts wandering a little.
No matter how Ye Wei celebrates his birthday, it doesn¡¯t matter, it doesn¡¯t matter.
She saw through this matter, and she didn¡¯t know when it started. Everything in the past was just a wrong fantasy, and those were the real misunderstandings.
Ye Wei didn't lie. He went to San Francisco to beat that woman more for his own revenge and not to be her hero. He broke up with Nina not because of her, but maybe because of Emma Roberts, who was later raped by Emma. Got beaten up, or because of someone else.
It¡¯s not like this because of Lily Collins.
He doesn¡¯t value this relationship. He has always been just playing around. He is not as serious as she thought. He is just a little hippie. All the so-called sweetness is his way to pick up girls. In the blink of an eye, she can be Nina Dobrev, in the blink of an eye, she can be Amy Rosen, and they are still flirting with countless girls. Now they are simply dating at the same time, without hiding it.
¡°She was so fascinated by such a person and such a relationship. Now that she thinks about it, it¡¯s really funny.
Whenever she thought about this before, a weak cry would sound in her heart: No! As long as you hate Ye Wei now, don't think about him in the past. Don't forget that he is in Hawaii, don't forget his tattoos have deep meanings, he must have some difficulties, he and Amy Rossum were drunk, crazy, seduced, and made impulsive mistakes
Then he was giving up on himself, which is why there were those scandals that he heard about. In fact, he didn't have sex with those women At least he was anesthetizing himself and not very happy
Two days ago, I heard that he had arrived in Kauai Island, Hawaii. Lily was so disturbed by the noise that she had insomnia. She wondered whether he would go there and whether his life would enter the unknown again.
She didn¡¯t know what kind of mental retardation drove her to turn on her computer and go online, and saw the gossip about Ye Wei and Anastasia Ashley playing on the beach.
That voice finally dissipated. He was indeed a bad person. She misunderstood everything with romance. The truth is so ridiculous.
As if jumping out of a quagmire, no longer in authority, Lily could see more clearly. She and he were not a natural match. Her ancestors were insurance businessmen, while his ancestors were soldiers. One sold insurance and the other sold his life.
He once said a humorous and romantic saying: "Coming to the world to find you is a pursuit that flows in my blood. I bought insurance and went to the battlefield, and I am not afraid of death."
¡°But the fact is that they don¡¯t fit together, nothing fits together, it¡¯s all an illusion. She began to hate these memories, these love words, and his playful smile. He only kept saying beautiful words, but none of them counted. It was really disgusting.
The more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel It can be considered a good memory, so to speak.
Let herself look at it maturely and calmly. Lily thinks that Ye Wei is a good person in some aspects. He is not particularly bad now, butit turns out that they are not suitable for each other, have different attitudes towards this relationship, and have different pursuits in life. Now they have figured it out. , I no longer feel it, and I can let it go, feeling relieved.
In fact, there is no need to deliberately forget, maybe when we meet again, we can also laugh and talk about the recent situation, who knows???
¡¡
The reading area of ??the Harvard-Westlake High School Library is quiet. Students in twos and threes are reading books, doing homework, and tapping laptops.
One of the long tables is filled with stacks of books and materials, and several girls are busy writing their thesis assignments for the history subject. Lily was writing a paper for a world and European history course, flipping through the book, loading materials into her laptop from time to time, and thinking about her own opinions.
"Hi, hello, can I sit here?"
The girls turned around and saw a tall, handsome curly-haired boy from the basketball team. He was looking at Lily, obviously asking her.
Trieste and the others laughed. In the past, no one in the school dared to pursue Lily. Because of her family background and her high standards, how can a boy in the junior high school do anything? Soon she became Ye Wei's girlfriend and ex-girlfriend. The period is unclear, but it is now known that the two really passed.
There have been so many people chatting up and pursuing Lily recently, both inside and outside the school, from the basketball team, the baseball team, the fencing team, the drama club, the journalism departmentall the handsome and outstanding boys want to win this The favor of a princess.
¡°And Lily is friendly and kind to everyone, but I don¡¯t know which one she likes.
"As long as you keep quiet." Lily smiled slightly, "We have to get these things done before the end of this class."
She patted the stack of books in front of her on the table and continued to type on her laptop, her eyes turning brightly.
The girls watched the handsome guy quickly sit down at the long table, two seats away from Lily, but they were beaming with joy.
¡¡
"Little Miss Sunshine" won two Oscars, making the Harvard-Westlake campus very happy. The charity viewing party held at the Football Theater that night was also very successful.
Within two days, viy¡¯s new scandal shocked the students even more. He had an affair with Scarlett Johansson on the night of the Oscars! This is not Doutzen Kroes, Amber Heard or the like, Scarlett Johansson! The scandal went viral after Johnson admitted it and visited the set of "Soul Surfer."
"Brother Wei told me that God's breasts are Scarlett Johansson's breasts. When you sleep on her breasts, all your dreams will come true."
The phrase "Big Nose Lev" has become a popular saying on campus. It should be said that it was Ye Wei's words. As soon as the boys mentioned it, they were jealous and laughing to the ground; some of the girls sighed, some called it cool, and when Trisit and others heard it, they said, "Disgusting!"
Nausea, nothing but nausea, only nausea. This was Lily's feeling, and she was a little self-deprecating and a little strange: Why did I once love him so much.
No, the one I love is not this Ye Wei, but the Ye Wei I mistakenly thought.
That person is gone and will never come back. Even if he gets better or worse in the future, that person is dead.
After returning home that day, Lily kept wandering around the house. She always felt that there was something she should do but didn¡¯t do it. She always seemed to have forgotten something or made a mistake
What is it?
What exactly is it?
Think about it, what exactly is it?
That box! Lily suddenly remembered that she had put all of Ye Wei's things back into the box, including the Jane Eyre doll, and then threw it into the utility room and ignored it. Why not throw it away? They are all meaningless and valuable gadgets, so what are they doing there?
Throw it away, throw it away today.
Lily came to the utility room and found the box. She looked at the "2003-112004-7" written on the carton and looked at the "frankly, my-dear, i-don't-give-a-damn." Maybe this is What he really thinks: I don't give a shit.
Since we don¡¯t care about each other anymore, why are we still here?
Lily was holding the box and was about to throw it into the trash can in the back alley of the house. Then she thought, it would be really bad if it was picked up by someone or turned over by the paparazzi. what to do¡¡
Soon, I had an idea.
Soon, under the red light of the evening sunset, the cardboard box was placed on the lawn in the back garden of the house. He opened it with delicate hands and took out many newspaper clippings inside and scattered them on the box. A No. 6 red and black jersey was also Throw it on top. Holding a matchbox in both hands, he lit a match and burned a newspaper.
That newspaper seems to be
When I was scared, she held my hands
When I was lonely, she sang beside me
When I am happy, she also smiles brightly
My heart is intoxicated with it
Ha, look what I see, flowers bloom in summer, flowers wither in autumn, why, I look at everything in the world,Are they all lilies?
Lily, because of you, I have everything
Lily looked expressionless as she watched the fire first ignite the newspapers, igniting raging flames and sending up thick smoke, then the jersey also caught fire, and the photos of her trip to Hawaii also caught fire, and thenthat Jane - The love doll also burned, her golden hair, beautiful skirt, her cute face all turned into ashes.
¡°War sucks, I want world peace.¡±
"Okay, may the world be peaceful, may the Force be with you and me, and the 'Deaf Man' is yours."
The fire made the box crackle, like the laughter of a young man and woman meeting each other.
"Fire!" It's like the passionate and innocent cry of a young director. I don't know where it came from. Is it the set of "Wedding is Coming"? Deep in your heart?
Suddenly, Lily's image was also burning. Her heart ached and she couldn't stand and fell down on the lawn. Her eyes were red. I don't know whether it was because of the fire or the time.
It¡¯s been more certain than ever that it¡¯s over.
Her love with him ends here.
¡¡
A short play is being performed in the Harvard-Westlake High School Football Theater. Students are performing on the stage, and a small number of parents, teachers and students are watching in the audience.
At this time, seeing Lily appear from the left side of the stage, Tawarman smiled and saw her walking on the stage in a decent manner and joining the crowd's performance.
Tawerman could not help but applaud silently. She was really frightened that day. Burning things was a destructive act. After hearing this, Maggie also said that Lily must be watched over in the near future to prevent more serious consequences. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Lily said it was a complete farewell to the past.
Since that day, Lily¡¯s energy and spirit have improved in all aspects, and her intelligence, liveliness, and agility are also returning. Now when she sees any information about Ye Wei in newspapers or magazines, the most she can do is say "ugh!" in disgust, and then flip it or continue reading. Everything is as usual.
"I will let go of everything. Tawarman can see that Lily has let go."
She was really proud of her daughter. Lily had just celebrated her 17th birthday. She had a column in the British version of "elle-girl" and was recently published in the "Los Angeles Times". She lived a normal campus life, not only in general studies, but also in the "Los Angeles Times". I haven't fallen behind in sports or journalism, and I'm also taking more classes in performing arts-drama courses to see if I will be more interested in becoming an actor in the future.
"Hosts, reporters, and actors are all good. As long as Lily is happy, Tawerman will support it."
During the upcoming spring break, Lily and her friends plan to travel to Europe. Young people should study and play, just don't go too crazy.
¡¡
At the end of March, London, England, was still like that, with red double-decker buses shuttling through the quaint streets, leisurely pedestrians, and bookstores and newsstands everywhere.
"It's going to rain." A girl wearing a beige long coat and blue jeans said. She looked at the dark sky, smiled with an eyebrow, opened the light blue umbrella in her hand, and walked in the light rain. British streets.
"I really miss rain, the best thing is a heavy rain."
I hate spring when it doesn¡¯t rain. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
