Chapter 436: It's Better to Have a Heavy Rain
The morning sun shines on Los Angeles, the calendar is flipped to February 1st, and a new day begins. The spacious mansion dining room was filled with the aroma of breakfast, some daily newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times were on the table, and Madeleine was busy at the kitchen cabinet.
"Is it safe?"
Lily had just sat down in her chair and was about to pick up the newspaper when she stopped to ask her mother across the table.
"It's all checked. Tawoman looked at her daughter's expression, "Lily, Mommy has something to discuss with you. ”
"What?" Lily flipped through the Los Angeles Times, looking at it somewhat casually, and the entertainment edition was missing a page.
"Shall we tell the school about your health?" asked Taverman.
Lily suddenly looked at her mother and furrowed two thick eyebrows, "Are you afraid that my academic pressure is too much?"
"Yes, Mommy is worried about you. Tavorman smiled comfortingly.
Students with ADHD are assessed and treated differently, such as less homework and more time for tests and exams.
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. 5-2。 For 5 hours, there were many students who read books all night to test it.
In addition to academics, there are also the pursuit of extracurricular activities, as well as the cultivation of talents in all aspects, which are generally cruel.
Lily has always been very demanding of herself, trying to prove that she is not a gentleman. But she is an ADHD patient, and she has been in a bad situation recently, and she has to stick to her previous rhythm of life, how can Tavorman not worry.
"No, I can't. Lily said solemnly, "I had twice the time for the exam, and the next day the whole school knew I had ADHD, and the whole world knew about it on the third day." She smiled, "I'm fine, I've put it down." ”
Tavorman had no choice but to laugh too, "Then don't force yourself, it's okay to have poor grades, as long as you don't skip class or do bad things, your mother doesn't have any requirements for you now." ”
"Yes, ma'am. Lily nodded, "I'm ADHD, but I'm not stupid, I don't do bad things, I still have so many good things to do, I can't keep busy!"
She looked at the newspaper again and suddenly said, "That guy was nominated for an Oscar for Best Director, I found out yesterday." I just wanted to say. She looked at her mother, "When it comes to his filmmaking, my judgment was right and you were wrong." But...... As for what kind of person he is, it looks like you're right, hehe. ”
"Baby...... Taverman wanted to say something, blinked, and said, "Come on." ”
Lily hummed and continued reading the mutilated newspaper.
......
After the afternoon of Harvard-Westlake High School, a variety of activities began, including numerous news organizations, interviews, writing, school newspapers, school magazines, etc.
The Journalism Society wants to make a special report on the recent congressional legislation to tighten the immigration policy in the United States, and has interviewed a circle on campus, many of the students are new immigrants and second-generation immigrants, and naturally they don't like austerity policies, but the key issue is the legalization of illegal immigration, so their attitudes are different.
Some people oppose it, saying that this violates the spirit of the US Constitution and will lead to the gradual decay of the country; others say that it is worth discussing that the problem of illegal immigration is getting worse and worse, and if it is not governed, the country will fall into further chaos.
Today, the team visited the Los Angeles office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services.
At this time, in the bright deputy director's office, several men and women in the film crew set up camera positions, and Lily, who was in charge of the interview, was talking to the deputy director on the other side of the desk, Brown Arquette, about the interview questions that would be waiting for the interview. After saying that, Arquette smiled happily: "Miss Collins, I'm a fan of your father, can you give me a copy of his autograph?"
Lily smiled at first, nodded and said, "Yes, I'll send you, a signed selection 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'm Lily Collins, and today we had the pleasure of interviewing Brown Arquette, deputy director of the Los Angeles office of USCIS. Thank you, Mr. Arquette, for your time. ”
"You're welcome. Arquette said it was an honor.
"Recently, the domestic immigration law is going to be reformed, could you please give us a brief introduction to the illegal immigration situation in Los Angeles?" asked Lily solemnly.
"Of course. Arquette replied instantly.
......
"What's the matter with this newspaper? I said I don't need to do it anymore. ”
The morning sun was shining, and in the dining room of the mansion, Lily Yang held the February 20 issue of the "Los Angeles Times" in her hand, and looked at her mother a little angrily, "What did Ye Wei do again? Yesterday was his birthday, right, what did he do again?"
"Nope. Taverman said truthfully, "The boy didn't do anything, and today Monday, there's his column." ”
"Oh yes. Mom, you don't have to do it again. Lily sat down in her chair, "His column doesn't need to be cut, it's all right, it's over." ”
Tavorman looked at her daughter, who had cut her long hair into a short and medium hair a few days ago, permed it into a slight curl, and looked much more mature and fresh, and her complexion was very good. Knowing that information isolation is only a measure of the buffer period, and it is time to end, it is good to respond.
"The charity association is going to hold an Oscar charity event, and this year our school is bright enough, Jack Jilinhar is nominated, and "Little Sunshine Beauty", we want to hold an event for children. Lily looked at the newspaper and said, "Mom, what do you suggest?"
Taverman, who has been president of the Beverly Hills Women's Club for many years, is a master at running events, asking, "What form are you going to take?"
"Everyone said that it was good to observe the party, let me invite a few young stars to be guests, preferably Ye Wei's bastard. Lily laughed, "Don't let him go to the Kodak Theater to join in the fun, he won't win the award anyway." ”
Seeing her make Ye Wei's joke easily, Tavorman was very happy, Lily was really letting go.
"And who knows if that guy will rush to the stage and do a striptease, we can't let that happen. ”
Lily said with a smile, her mind fluttering a little.
No matter how Ye Wei celebrates his birthday, what does it matter, what does it matter.
She saw through this matter, I don't know when it began, everything before was just a false illusion, those were the real misunderstandings.
Ye Wei didn't lie, he went to San Francisco to beat that woman more for his own revenge, not her hero, and he broke up with Nina not because of her, maybe because of Emma Roberts, and then he was beaten by Emma, or because of someone else.
It's not because of Lily Collins that it's like this.
He doesn't value this relationship, he's always just playing, not as serious as she thought, he's just a little hippie, and those so-called sweetness are his pickling methods. In the blink of an eye, it can be Nina Dobov, in the blink of an eye, it can be Amy Rosen, and she is still playing ambiguously with many girls, and now she is simply dating at the same time, and she doesn't hide it.
Just such a person, such a relationship, she is still fascinated, and 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, it's good that you hate the current Ye Wei, don't think about him before. Don't forget he's in Hawaii, don't forget...... His tattoos have a deep meaning, he must have something to suffer, he and Amy Rosen are drunk, crazy, seduced, and make mistakes on the spur of the moment......
Then he was giving up on himself, and there were those scandals that he heard about, but in fact, he didn't have sex with those women...... At least he anesthetized himself and wasn't much happier......
Two days ago, I heard that he was on Kauai, Hawaii, and Lily was so noisy that she couldn't sleep, whether he would go there, and whether life would go into the unknown again.
I don't know if she was driven by some weak intelligence, she turned on the computer and went to the Internet, and saw the gossip news of Ye Wei and Anastasia Ashley frolicking on the beach.
The voice finally dissipated, he was indeed a big bad person, she used romance to misunderstand everything, and the truth was so ridiculous.
As if jumping out of a quagmire, no longer the authorities, Lily could see more clearly. She and him are not a natural pair, her ancestors were insurance merchants, and his ancestors were soldiers, one sells insurance, and the other sells his life.
He used to say a humorous romantic saying: "Coming to the world to find you is a pursuit that flows in my blood, buy insurance and go to the battlefield, and I am not afraid of death." ”
But the truth is that it doesn't get along, nothing gets along, it's all an illusion. She began to hate these memories, hated these love words, hated his hippie smile, and would only keep saying beautiful things, but not a word counted, which was really disgusting.
The more I thought about it, the more disgusted I became...... It's also a bit of a good memory, and it's okay.
Let yourself be mature and look at it calmly, Lily thinks that Ye Wei is a good person in some aspects, and now it is not particularly bad, but ...... It turned out that they were not suitable for each other, had different attitudes towards this relationship, and pursued different lives, but now that they have figured it out, they don't feel it, and they can let it go, and they are relieved.
In fact, you don't have to deliberately forget, maybe when you will see you again, you can laugh and talk about the recent situation, who knows.
......
The reading area of the Harvard-Westlake High School Library was quiet, with students reading books, doing homework, and tapping on their laptops.
One of the long desks was filled with stacks of books, and several girls were busy writing their dissertation assignments for the history department. Lily was writing a paper for a course on world and European history, flipping through a book, occasionally loading material into her laptop, and thinking about her own opinions.
"Hey, hello, can I sit here?"
The girls turned their heads to see a tall and handsome boy with curly hair, a member of the basketball team, and he was looking at Lily, obviously asking her.
Trist and several people laughed, no one in the school dared to chase Lily before, because of her family background, her vision is high, what is the little boy in junior high school, and soon she became Ye Wei's girlfriend, the ex-girlfriend period is not clear, but now it is known that the two have really passed.
Recently, there have been too many people who have talked to and pursued Lily, both inside and outside the school, basketball team, baseball team, fencing team, drama club, journalism department...... A handsome and excellent boy wants to win the favor of this princess.
And Lily is kind and kind to everyone, and I don't know which one she likes.
"As long as you keep quiet. Lily smiled slightly, "We'll have to get this done before this class is over." ”
She patted the stack of books on the table and continued to tap on the laptop, her eyes brightening.
The girls watched the handsome guy hurriedly sit down at the long table, and there were two seats across from Lily, but their eyebrows fluttered with joy.
......
"Little Miss Sunshine" won two Oscars, which made the Harvard-Westlake campus very happy, and the charity party held at the Football Theatre that night was also a great success.
Within two days, VIY's new scandal made the students even more sensational, and he had a visit to Scarlett Johansson on the night of Oscar! This is not Duchen Klos, Amber Heard, etc., Scarlett Johansson! This scandal then went crazy because of Johnson's admission and visiting the set of "Soul Surfer".
"Brother Wei told me that God's boobs are Scarlett Johansson's boobs, and when you sleep on her boobs, all your dreams will come true. ”
The words of the big-nosed Lev have become a popular quote on campus, and it should be Ye Wei's words. The boys were envious and jealous and laughed as soon as they said it, and the girls sighed and some called it cool, and when Tracer and the others heard it, "Disgusting!"
Nausea, nothing but nausea, only nausea. This was Lily's feelings, and then some self-deprecation, some wondering: why did I use to be so ...... Love him.
No, it's not this Ye Wei that I love, it's the Ye Wei who I thought by mistake.
That one is gone, never to come back, even if he gets better or worse later, that one is dead.
When she got home that day, Lily kept wandering and walking around the house, always feeling that there was something to do but not doing, as if she had forgotten something, something wrong......
What is it?
What is it?
Think about it, what exactly?
Lily suddenly thought that she had put all of Ye Wei's belongings back into the box again, including the Jane Eyre doll, and then threw them into the utility room and didn't care about it. Why don't you throw it away? It's all a little knack that has no meaning or value, and what are you doing there?
Throw it away, throw it away today.
Lily went to the utility room to find the box, looked at the carton that was written "2003-11-2004-7", and looked at the "Frankly, my-dear, I-don't-give-a-damn." Maybe that's what he really thinks: I don't care at all.
Since they don't care about each other anymore, why do they still keep it.
Lily held the box and was about to throw it into the garbage bin in the back alley of the house, thinking that if someone picked it up and was turned over by the paparazzi, it would really not be good. What to do......
Soon, an idea came to mind.
Soon, under the red light of the evening sunset, the cardboard box was placed on the lawn in the back garden of the house, and the slender hand opened it, took out many newspaper clippings and threw them on the box, and a No. 6 red and black jersey was also thrown on it. Holding a matchbox in both hands, he lit a match and burned a newspaper.
The newspaper seemed to be ......
"She held my hands when I was scared
When I was lonely, she sang beside me
She smiled brightly when I was happy
My heart is intoxicated
Ha, look at what I see, a hundred flowers bloom in summer, and a hundred flowers wither in autumn, why, I see that everything in the world is a lily?
Lily, because of you, I have everything.
Lily looked expressionless as she watched as the firelight lit up the newspapers, blaze with flames, smoke rise, and then the jersey and the photos of her trip to Hawaii caught fire, and then ...... That Jane Eyre doll also burned, her blonde hair, beautiful skirt, her lovely face...... All are turning to ashes.
"War is rotten, and I want world peace. ”
"Well, may there be peace in the world, may the Force be with you and me, the 'deaf' is yours. ”
The fire crackled like a young man and a woman.
"FIRE!" is like a young director's passionate and innocent shout, I don't know where it came from, is it on the set of "The Wedding is Coming"?
Suddenly, Lily seemed to be burning, and her heart hurt so much that she fell unsteadily on the lawn, her red eyes not knowing whether it was because of the fire or time.
Never before so sure, it's over.
Her love affair with him, that ends here.
......
A short play is being played at the Harvard-Westlake High School Football Theater, where students perform and a small half of the parents, teachers and students in the audience are watching.
At this time, seeing Lily appear from the left side of the stage, Tavorman smiled, and saw her walking on the stage in a good way, joining the crowd in the performance.
Taverman couldn't help but applaud silently. It really frightened her that day, burning things was a destructive act, and Maggie also said that she must take good care of Lily in the near future, so as not to have more serious consequences. Fortunately, it was a false alarm, and Lily said it was a complete farewell to the past.
From that day on, Lily's spirit and spirit were better in all aspects, and she was smart, lively, and agile again. Now when she sees any information about Ye Wei in newspapers and magazines, she can at most express her disgust "Ugh!" Bang, then flip it over or continue looking, and it's business as usual.
Anything will be put down, Tavorman can see it, and Lily puts it down.
She is really proud of her daughter, Lily just celebrated her 17th birthday, opened a column in the British edition of "Elle-Girl", and recently appeared in the "Los Angeles Times", living a normal school life, not only did she not fall behind in general studies, sports, and journalism, but also increased her study in the performing arts-drama course, to see if she would be more interested in becoming an actor in the future.
The host, the reporter, and the actor are all good, as long as Lily is happy, Tavorman will support it.
For the upcoming spring break, Lily and her friends plan a trip to Europe. Young people should learn and play, just don't be too crazy.
......
At the end of March, London, England, was still like that, with red double-decker buses plying quaint streets, leisurely pedestrians, and bookstores and newsstands everywhere.
"It's going to rain. A girl in a long beige coat and blue jeans said, she looked at the dark sky, smiled, opened the light blue umbrella in her hand, and walked on the streets of England where the rain was gradually drizzling.
I really miss the rain, and the best thing is a heavy rain.
I hate spring when it doesn't rain. A short play is being played at the Central Rugby Theatre, with students performing on stage and a small number of parents, teachers and students in the audience.
At this time, seeing Lily appear from the left side of the stage, Tavorman smiled, and saw her walking on the stage in a good way, joining the crowd in the performance.
