On the stage at Lincoln Center, the little girl slowly walked out from behind.

She looked like she was in her teens, with a cute little face, long white blonde hair tied up, and a pair of big azure eyes that were extremely focused.

She wears a black ballet dress, white tights, pointe shoes, and holds a tambourine in her hand.

And then—

Music plays.

The little girl danced.

Emma Edson and Bruce Edson sat excitedly watching their daughter's performance.

"Oh, Kate." Emma covered her mouth in excitement.

After all, this is already the final.

At this time, the little girl made a difficult back kick, her left leg kicked over her head, touched the tambourine in her right hand, and the judges sitting at the front desk nodded approvingly.

The little girl performed a ballet player named "Esmeralda", which lasted just over 80 seconds.

After a series of movements, the little girl circled the court for half a circle, then raised the tambourine above her head, and then began to kick continuously. Her first kick shocked the audience, even the professional ballet dancer's handling is from 90 degrees to kick higher and higher and the last few to 180 degrees, but this girl from the first kick, until the last ninth kick, is slightly more than 180 degrees, what is more valuable is that she can still maintain the strength of each front kick to remain stable and the height remains the same, but it is rare.

"Bang Bang Bang

After the performance, there was a round of applause, and the girl saluted the audience before stepping off the stage.

After all the performances, the little girl undoubtedly won the championship.

……

If I were to ask whether a pretty woman or a handsome guy is better after removing the subjective gender factor, I would choose a pretty woman.

But if there is such a thing as crossing and being reborn, I would choose to be a man.

I longed for the opposite sex, fantasizing that the beauty of women would make me secrete hormones.

To put it bluntly, in fact, many men who fantasize about becoming beautiful women are just a kind of curiosity.

I probably read too many unbearable novels, but no matter how I look at that novel, I think that woman is cooler than a man, so I also think that women seem to be better than men.

If that's the case, it doesn't matter.

But I'm not sure if I'll ever have the urge to do that after becoming a woman.

Moreover, beautiful women are a minority after all, and if they really cross over, who can guarantee that they can become beautiful women?

And after women are forty, they begin to become old, and men are at this time, but it is the time when they are charming.

If there were beautiful women and ugly men, I would probably choose to be beautiful, but if there were ugly women and ugly men, or beautiful women and handsome guys, I guess I would choose men.

When I was a kid, I hated growing up, and when I grew up, I hated getting old.

I didn't hope for eternal life, but I hated the feeling of aging. It would be perfect if a person could look about the same when he dies with the same lifespan as he is in his thirties and forties.

In fact, the so-called crossing and rebirth, I just YY in my heart, because I am an atheist. Even if someone tells me that the Loch Ness monster is a pet kept by Martians, it is probably more real than Yahweh, Lao Tzu and the like.

I may have offended the gods with this idea, or maybe some god wanted to convince me of their existence in a way that influenced me.

Clearly, they succeeded.

I became suspicious, and when I went to church, I would bow my head reverently, and when I saw a monk, I would put my hands together, and if I could go to the Taoist temple, I would probably put incense sticks on it and make a wish.

Maybe it's the work of aliens, who saw me as a "faithful atheist" and gave me a chance to experience it. Perhaps the Somali stargate should have been closed to prevent those aliens from coming to Earth to play pranks - if that thing really existed.

……

Back home, Catherine put the trophy on the table and returned to her room with a tired face.

Although she has been practicing in pointe shoes for more than two years, she still has no patience for them.

Suddenly threw herself on the bed, and the girl looked at the sky in a daze.

Anyway, I've been here for 12 years, right?

The year on the wall calendar is 1960, counting the time, I have been studying ballet for 8 years, alas, who called his mother a ballet dancer? Although she stopped performing after giving birth to herself, she pinned her hopes on herself. ,

Her parents were immigrants and both World War II orphans – and that's how they met. Her mother is of English and Nordic descent, and her father is of mixed French and Jewish descent, and "heterosis" is vividly expressed in Catherine, who is already so cute and beautiful even though she is only 12 years old.

"Something to do...... Well, 'that' should have been sent too, right? ”

As a born-again-well, plus gender change, Catherine thought she had to do something about it. Her home is in the suburbs of New York City, feeling middle-class. But,You can't just waste it in this life.,Even if I'm a little Lori now.,But there's a lot to do.。

After lying down for a while, she sat up again and began to massage her feet.

Ballet may look beautiful, but incorrect methods can make the calves thicker and more splayful, and often wearing pointe shoes can lead to deformities in the toes. Although Emma used to be a professional ballet dancer, and the New York Ballet School where she studied was also a professional ballet student, the New York Ballet School, School-of-American-Ballet, abbreviated as SAB, is part of the Lincoln Center for the Arts, in the same building as the famous Juilliard Conservatory.

Although it is terrible to become a woman, Catherine did not give up on herself, although the rebirth of the United States in the 5th and 60s really makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Just then, Emma knocked on Catherine's door.

"Kate, you were approached by a Mr. Robert, and he said he was a volunteer for the Paper Book Company...... Kate, what the hell are you? ”

"Kate" is the nickname of "Catherine", and at home, Catherine is called like this.

So fast?!

Catherine's face was full of surprise, she didn't expect that she still had a talent for writing - although most of the plots are "referential".

"I wrote something a little bit." She jumped down excitedly and opened the door.

Paper Book Publishing Company is the oldest and largest publishing company in the United States based in New York.

It stands to reason that the publisher should send a letter first, and then call to make an appointment, so how can it come to the door directly?

When Catherine followed her mother to the living room, she saw a young man in his twenties sitting nervously in a chair, and Catherine probably understood.

"Ah...... Oh...... You...... Are you Miss Catherine? Robert watched the little girl come towards him, but his face became incredulous.

This young man, who seemed to have just debuted, was frightened by Catherine's age.

Harry Potter.

That's right, it was this novel that Catherine "wrote", and she wrote three of them at once, and then sent them together.

After all, she wasn't sure if such a novel would be popular in a different era, or if the other party really had that vision.

Clearly, though, her plan seemed viable.

After all, the magic trend of "The Lord of the Rings" has just started a few years ago, and ten years later, "The Lord of the Rings" will cause another high chao.

It can even be said that the later Dungeons & Dragons series and various video games were influenced by the Lord of the Rings. What orcs, elves and whatever.

But the modern setting of "Harry Potter" has caught the eyes of the editors of Paper Book Press.

Such novels and stories obviously subvert the magical world of Tolkien's creation and open up a new world.

Another reason why Catherine chose this novel is because the "Harry Potter" series can barely be regarded as a fairy tale, and the sense of disobedience is not too strong when written at her age.

"You guessed it right, sir."

Catherine's words made Robert feel uncomfortable.

Could it be that my first business was dealing with a twelve-year-old girl?

Open...... Just kidding, right?

He thought that the book was written by a middle-aged woman in her thirties who exuded the charm of her mother!

"I guess you're here for my novel, right?" Catherine looked at the other party's cramped appearance, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Uh...... Ah, that's right! ”

Robert pulled out a copy of the essay from his briefcase.

"We're going to give 10% of the royalties and $50,000, but we want to buy out the rights to all three books......."

The so-called royalty refers to the share of retail books, for example, 10% royalty, $50 for a book, for every book sold, the author can get $5.

The 60s was the golden age of American development, the Bretton Woods system still did not collapse, the United States was still on the gold standard, the dollar, the dollar, that's how it came about, the dollar was strong.

Catherine really doubted how this stunned young man got through the interview, you know, the contract text was written with 7% royalties and 20,000 US dollars, and the other party actually reported the bottom line at once......

After all, a 10% royalty is a lot for newcomers.

Encountering such a stunned youth, Catherine naturally laughed.

"Kate, oh God, Kate, you actually wrote a novel?"

Emma, the mother on the side, was looking at Catherine dumbfounded.

In fact, Emma has long confirmed that Catherine is a genius, she has been admitted to Greer Girls' High School (Grier-School), although this girls' school has only more than 300 people all year round, but it is true that the top 100 middle schools in the United States can not be admitted without a certain strength.

AS EARLY AS WHEN CATHERINE WAS 7 YEARS OLD AND JUST ENTERED SCHOOL, CATHERINE SHOWED AN AMAZING "TALENT", WITH AN AR (ACCELERATED-READER-TEST) SCORE OF 120.

AR is a reading test in which third-graders score about 20 — which is the highest, and even from the fifth grade onwards, there are not many who score 120.

Catherine chose the Children's Bible.

In fact, if she had been speaking better English at the time, he would have even considered reading Das Kapital.

THE TEACHER'S ADVICE TO EMMA WAS TO TRANSFER HER TO THE CITY'S TALENTED-STUDENT-SCHOOL, WHICH IS A SCHOOL DEDICATED TO STUDENTS WITH IQ145 AND ABOVE. At least until George W. Bush cut spending on the education of highly gifted students for the education of low-intelligence children like himself, such schools were very complete and excellent. Education in the United States is very responsible, at least in most places, especially in the sixties and seventies, which was the golden decade of the United States, and everything was soaring and changing, and education was also the top priority in this year.

But Catherine is self-aware, she is just a prophet, to say high IQ...... Hehe.

So Catherine rejected the plan.

It wasn't until she had finished talking to Robert and signed the contract with Emma as the guardian that she reacted.

"What novels have you written?" Emma asked.

"Harry Potter, a story about magic."

Emma nodded, children generally like to fantasize about strange things.

"Well, I'm really looking forward to it, and I'll talk to your dad when the time comes."

Education in Europe and the United States has some heuristic meanings, and parents sometimes talk to their children with the meaning of friends, and then motivate their children with words of encouragement and expectant eyes.

"Of course, I'm a genius." If the history of the prophet for more than 50 years is not enough, he will be ashamed of himself.

In the previous life, although Catherine was a college graduate, what he studied was a software major, and this world is a world where personal computers were not even born, and even the founder of the famous Intel company is still working at Fairchild Semiconductor, such a world, what is the use of his professional ability?

So, after coming to this world, Catherine has never fallen behind in learning, and with her foresight, she can be regarded as a little "genius".

Catherine's goal is to earn 200 years of possessions before the age of 20, and then squander them for 50 years.

Anyway, I've become a woman, so why don't you try the "novelty"? Of course, she would never touch a man.
