Los Angeles' Melrose Avenue is about a mile long, between Fairfax and Labrea Avenues, and is populated with high-end galleries and furniture stores and quirky and abstract clothing stores, brimming with young culture. Shops usually open at noon, ranging from second-hand shoe stores to leggings for several hundred dollars, antique boutiques, personal accessories, comic shops, and pop music records from every era. The theatre here is also the place where the future stars will try their first try, for their usual practice or impromptu performances, and in the evenings of the week, mainly for drama students, live performances by popular rock bands, piano bars and restaurants, etc.

Zhou Shaoming and Christina walked in the rain with an umbrella together, and the two of them had a black dress on their hands, which was to hide that the shiny handcuffs under the clothes were firmly handcuffed to both sides.

The masses who don't know the truth think that this is a young couple, who are holding hands with affection and talking about love on the street, and they don't find anything unusual when they pass by.

On one side of the street are unique buildings, about seven or eight storeys high, and on the other side there are cafes, bars and other young people's favorites.

After a good meal of Chinese food, Zhou Shaoming took Christina for a walk here, from the beginning of the nervousness, gradually turned to relaxation, the well-behaved Christina knew Zhou Shaoming's concerns, and did not ask to go to a crowded place, but followed behind Zhou Shaoming, closed his mouth tightly, and let him take him to walk around at will.

Looking at the smiling couples next to him, Zhou Shaoming was also interested, looked at Christina gently, and asked, "Do you want to have a drink?" ”

"Of course, I will never object to someone having a treat." Christina laughed.

I found a seat at random, and it was a great joy in life to sit under a big umbrella at this time, listening to the sound of drizzling raindrops, and being accompanied by a girl as beautiful as Christina.

"Hey, man, get me two beers!" Zhou Shaoming greeted the waiter.

After a while, two glasses of freshly baked amber beer were served, and the two looked at each other and smiled, clinking glasses gently.

After half a glass of beer, a few fireworks suddenly flew out of the sky, flying into the night sky, and the bright flames flashed, forming a heart-shaped pattern, hanging high in the sky.

“iloveyou！” The couples next to them talked about their love words and kissed tenderly and sweetly.

What's up, kissing game? Zhou Shaoming was a little confused for a while.

"It's Valentine's Day." Christina said leisurely, a little shy.

Seeing the roses and chocolates piled up on the table next to him, Zhou Shaoming realized that today is February 14th, Valentine's Day in the West!

"Ah, I'm so sorry, it's Valentine's Day, but I tied you to my side, your boyfriend will definitely blame me." Zhou Shaoming touched his head in embarrassment.

"Don't be stupid, I don't have a boyfriend, never have." Christina smiled and took a sip of her wine.

"None? You're so charming and beautiful, would you have no boyfriend? Zhou Shaoming felt a little incredible, didn't he say that American girls have very open surnames, and they are ** at the age of fourteen or fifteen, how can they not have a boyfriend?

"I was on the runway at the age of 15 and became a model, the industry is very competitive, you know, I don't have time to find a boyfriend, I want to fight for myself! My dream is the same as yours, dreaming of one day, appearing at the Oscars, dressing up brilliantly, and letting people all over the world see me! See me Christina! Christina's eyes lit up with a strange light, and she said excitedly.

Every actor, who doesn't want to be crowned the emperor after the Oscar? As long as you embark on this path, then this is the only ideal!

"But the reality is always cruel, and the longer you stay in this industry, the more you realize how difficult this road is." Christina took another sip of beer, changed her posture, and continued: "Success is not only about being beautiful, but also about luck, and about strength. ”

Zhou Shaoming didn't speak, he just listened quietly and acted as the best listener.

"I'm not Leonardo, and I'm not Kate Winslet, and I can't ride the big ship all the way through the wind and waves. I always thought I was a God-favored girl who would become a superstar! But four years later, I realized that I was just an ordinary girl, so ordinary that no one asked me for an autograph when I walked down the street. Christina laughed self-deprecatingly, fiddling with the empty beer glass in her hand.

"It's man-made, Christina." Zhou Shaoming is not a very good person with words, he just quietly looked at the girl who was a little touching and couldn't help himself, and comforted him softly.

"Is my body good? Am I pretty? Christina stretched her waist and asked Zhou Shaoming seriously.

"Of course, of course you are beautiful! And the figure is first-class, in my heart, your beauty is indescribable! Zhou Shaoming praised repeatedly.

"But in this Hollywood, there are as many girls as stars in the sky who are better and more beautiful than me, and I don't know where I can be better than others, whether the dream of stardom can really be realized."

"Don't be so pessimistic, you're only 19 years old, and you still have a lot of youth to achieve your ideals."

But why did Kate Winslet succeed at the age of 17? I'm 19 years old and I can't even figure out where my dream is coming true? ”

Zhou Shaoming sighed secretly, thinking that you only have 55 acting skills, naturally you can't realize your dream of stardom, although Hollywood is surging undercurrent, as long as you persist, the real gold will still shine.

It's because you're not strong enough! Zhou Shaoming drank the beer in one gulp, hiding the fact that he knew the future.

"Hollywood doesn't believe in tears!" Christina smiled indifferently: "I have understood this truth for a long time, I am just a little jealous, some envy that all girls will have." Of course, I also know that even if I have the same opportunity, I may not be able to reach the heights of others, and I know my own acting skills. Like, like the exam questions you auditioned for me yesterday, I didn't do well at all. ”

"Don't mention it, it's just me joking with you, it's not an exam question at all, I'm making it up to tease you."

Zhou Shaoming was embarrassed and waved his hand again and again.

"No, I thought about it later, and I repeated it in the bathroom mirror, and I felt that I just couldn't act well! If it is an Oscar actor, it must be better than me. Christina spoke more and more slowly, and her voice became lower and lower, and at last she could not hold back her self-reproach, and fell on the table and began to weep.

This caught Zhou Shaoming off guard, and the couples around him all turned their heads to look, with incomprehensible curiosity in their eyes.

It's Valentine's Day, how can I make my girlfriend cry?

Zhou Shaoming was in a hurry, wanting to comfort Christina, but he didn't know where to speak.

The rain stopped, and the bright moonlight shone on the earth again, and sprinkled gently on Christina's body, as if draping her with a transparent veil, which seemed so moving.

"Christina, I, what if, I mean, if I can really become a big director in the future, I will definitely make you an Oscar-winning actress and let the whole world see you, really, believe me!"

Zhou Shaoming said slowly, the past few days of getting along have made him slowly like this beautiful and smart girl, he really doesn't want to let such a girl who insists on her dreams but doesn't know where her dreams are sad and cry.
