Caltech's summer vacation is unusually long, stretching from late June to late September.

Audrey's high school for the arts and crafts has a slightly shorter vacation than Caltech, but it also has more than two months.

However, no matter how long the holiday is, there will be an end to it.

September 2, the day of Victory in the American War against Japan, was Audrey's last day on the crew of "High Heels".

That night, after the performance, director Abbott publicly announced that Audrey would be leaving the crew and presented Audrey with a bouquet of flowers as a parting gift.

The news came as a surprise to many people, such as the actors who co-starred with Audrey in the chorus girls, and the actress Miss Fabre.

In their opinion, Audrey is highly valued by director Abbott, and the theater audience is also impressed by Audrey's role, as long as Audrey persists, she will soon become popular on Broadway.

Seeing that he is about to become famous, but suddenly wants to quit, what kind of snakeskin operation is this?

Fabre couldn't understand what school to return to if he had this condition? As long as he was famous and had money, what could he not do?

Or does his noble boyfriend actually not like her coming out to do this?

Should she be called stupid, or naïve?

Men are unreliable!

Of course, Fabre only slandered in his heart, but did not say a word in front of Audrey.

Let's go, let's go, and no one will come to steal my attention.

There was nothing reluctant, nothing tearful farewell, and the next day, Audrey boarded the train to California with Isla and Simran, and although we spent a lot of time together, the relationship was really not that good.

What's more, the crew had to perform on stage that day.

"Whoa!"

Audrey was not there, the performance of "High Heels and Buttoned Shoes" was not affected in the slightest, the theater continued to laugh and laugh, and the applause at the curtain call was still the same.

However, after the first performance, the manager of the New Century Theater went backstage to find the director Abbott and asked why the "angel" did not appear.

"Angel" refers to Audrey, of course.

This is the code name given to Audrey by the critics, and it has been recognized by many audiences, and some have even watched the performance several times for her sake.

Abbott told the truth, and the manager said bitterly: "Abbot, why did you let people go so easily?"

"Do You Know ......"

As soon as the manager began to speak, Abbott unceremoniously interrupted, "I know!"

"It's because I know that I let her come and go freely. ”

"Sir, Audrey is an angel, and since she is an angel, she can't stay in the world forever, can she?"

The manager heard what Abbott was saying, so he asked, "Abbot, if you can, please make sure to make it clear." ”

Abbott shook his head and said, "This matter is over, you don't have to worry about it anymore." No matter how clear it is, Audrey won't return to the crew. ”

……

Just as the train was moving at an equilibrium pace, Evan appeared in a bookstore in a department store in Los Angeles.

After more than three months of revisions and corrections, The Brothers' War, the first installment in the official series of "Plane Walker's House" written by Virginia, has finally been published.

The first edition was printed in small numbers, and it was a decision made by the publisher to be on the safe side.

Of course, as a product linked to physical cards, the Magic Seven Company has given a lot of publicity resources, not only on the shelves of the "Magic House", but also the bookstore channel developed by almost all the large booksellers in China.

However, with the support of these resources, Virginia's did not become an instant hit.

Genre-wise, The Brothers' War is fantasy. At this time, fantasy in the United States was growing rapidly, but it was mostly published in cheap magazines. Popular fantasy in the United States includes adventures in the guise of science fiction, heroic stories of "sword and magic" full of blood and violence, and the "Crusoe Myth" that makes people go crazy with SAN values. As for the influential "Middle-earth" in later generations, only the tip of the iceberg of "The Hobbit" was revealed at this time, and "The Lord of the Rings" would not be published until several years later.

Because they are accustomed to reading pastime fantasy in cheap magazines, "The Brothers' War", which is sold in bookstores and priced a little higher, is not very popular.

However, while the desire of the average reader to buy is not strong, for card players, The Brothers' War is very significant. If you read it, you will know the origin of many card faces, and you will be able to know the stories behind the card characters.

For players, after reading it, the cards in their hands immediately become alive.

All of a sudden, whether or not The Brothers' War has become the best indicator to distinguish whether or not a loyal card player is.

Evan came to the bookstore, of course, not to buy books, but because Virginia was here to sign sales, and he came with him to check the situation.

There weren't many readers in line for the book signing, and Virginia coped with ease.

Instead of spending time with Virginia's team, Evan visited the bookstore.

He wasn't alone, Linda was on his side.

Linda, who is about to enter her second year of college, has grown a lot taller than last year, and her body is getting sharper and sharper.

However, in front of Evan, Linda consciously restrained the light on her body.

Facing Linda, Evan was a little restrained, because he found that after not seeing her for a while, Linda's charm became more and more attractive.

Evan was searching through the books as if no one was around, and Linda saw that he seemed to be looking for a purpose, so she asked for the title of the book he was looking for.

"The Hobbit, written by J.R.R. Tolkien. ”

The book was released in the UK in 1937 and introduced to the United States in 1938.

Linda recalled it and found that she had read the book and was at Evan's house, so she asked with doubts, "Evan, what are you looking for this book, don't you already have it at home?"

"Nothing, just want to see how many reprints it has," Evan said. ”

Linda had read the original book and naturally knew that it was also a fantasy book. Like Virginia's The Brothers' War, it also fictionalizes a beautiful and mysterious world. Of course, in terms of worldview, "The Brothers' War" is even bigger.

However, Linda seems to prefer Tolkien's "The Hobbit" a little bit because it is more childlike.

As for Linda's "Battle of the Brothers", it follows the style of an epic story.

"Do you want to compare, how much can you sell if you watch "The Brothers' War"?" Linda boldly guessed: "Now that the book is selling tepidly, are you in a hurry?"

Evan stretched out his hand, his fingers slid over the spine of the bookshelf, and nodded, "It's a little anxious, I admit it." ”

"However, if you really want to say how anxious you are, it may not be. ”

"The quality of the book is not bad, and there are many people who like it, but my expectations are just a little high. ”
