Hollywood Secret Garden

The coverage of Miss Talented's 21st birthday party was eye-catching, especially with so many celebrities in attendance and plenty of gossip buzz.Coupled with the upcoming Oscars, not only the sales of newspapers publishing relevant reports have increased a lot, but the traffic of major websites has also increased a lot.

The directors of various media were all grinning from ear to ear. It would be perfect if Miss Genius could keep full of words 24 hours a day.Some people are happy and some are not, especially for someone who just had the worst birthday in her past life, and these reports, whether positive or negative, just bore her.

"There are too many stories about the relationship between Whitman and Wilde. Interested students can go to the library to look up the relevant content. But please remember that research and research are two different things!" The old professor stood in front of the podium. Start with the index finger of your right hand to emphasize your tone.Following him, he glanced at the lecture theater and set his sights on a girl in the sixth row: "Do you think this statement is correct, Miss Angela?"

"Huh? Ah? Oh?" ​​The absent-minded Angela shuddered and finally came back to her senses. Even though she had seen enough of the big scene, she was still startled by the neat eyes of the whole classroom: "This ...I think...maybe..."

After hesitating for a long time, she finally raised her right hand helplessly: "Sorry, professor, I didn't pay attention."

"Thank you for your candor, Miss Angela," Professor Gao Wen spread his hands, "Also, I admire you for giving up attending the Oscars ceremony and staying to attend my class. However, this cannot be your blatant distraction in class reason."

Low-pitched laughter rang out in the lecture theater, some were jealous, some were envious, some were still admiring.

"Okay, I apologize, Professor Gao Wen," Angie scratched his face and said, "However, I'm not thinking about tonight's awards ceremony, but thinking about how to rush into the newspaper office and burn them all."

The laughter became louder, just as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the students stood up one after another, greeted Professor Gao Wen and left.The same is true for Angela, but it is relatively more difficult, because she will be surrounded by many people, and... most of them are women!

Before the San Francisco incident, the lesbians on the Harvard campus were still approaching her in secret, and after that, coupled with the hype of the media, especially the tabloids, when Angela returned to Boston, she immediately fell into the siege of the lesbians. middle.To be honest, there are quite a lot of lesbians in Harvard. Although most of them try out of curiosity, they may get married and have children after leaving campus, but every day on campus is lesbians.In addition, several marginalized gay societies also sent invitations for her to come—even to come and see.

What a headache.If it was before, Angela might have joked with them, but now, after the worst birthday party, she didn't have the slightest mood in this regard.

"Sorry, everyone, I still have my own things to do, please give me a little private space?" Angela said in a helpless tone to the five or six girls who followed her after leaving the lecture theater.If it wasn't for her need to maintain a friendly image, if it wasn't for her own plan, Angela might have yelled a long time ago, especially during this time.

Fortunately, these girls knew enough was enough, seeing that Angela had said so, they stopped pestering her.Angela, who was relieved, tidied up her clothes and hurried to the dormitory.

After knocking on the door twice, Angela opened the door with a big smile on her face: "Hi, Nat."

"Hi, Angie." Natalie, who was sitting on a chair with a book in her arms, raised her head and said hello in a light tone, then lowered her head and continued to read.

"Well, how is today? I heard that your tutor has arranged a difficult subject?" Angela asked as she put the books in her hands on the table and began to tidy them up. At the same time, she secretly and carefully looked at Natalie.

"It's a bit difficult, but it doesn't bother me." Natalie replied calmly, without even raising her head this time.

Angela couldn't help showing a look of disappointment, but quickly controlled herself, shrugged and said in a joking tone: "Today I was distracted again in Professor Gao Wen's class, God, why does he find that my mind is distracted every time? Woolen cloth?!"

"Because you are a genius, Professor Gao Wen must think that a genius should be able to understand his class even if his mind is distracted." Natalie put down the book in her hand and spread her hands, her face was calm and no emotions could be seen.Therefore, to Angela's ears, the words that should have been flirtatious, at this moment... have a different flavor.

Damn, am I... am I being too sensitive?Angela couldn't help cursing herself in her stomach, but on the surface she still pretended to be nonchalant: "God, if I continue to be obsessed like this, graduation will be in vain."

"The problem is that it's normal for you to be absent-minded in class." Natalie shrugged, her expression still unchanged.

Angela couldn't help being suffocated, and the sense of uneasiness in her heart grew even stronger.As a last resort, she gave up and continued to test, took a deep breath and sat down in front of Natalie: "Well, Nat, can you go out with me today? Although I don't plan to attend the awards ceremony, the necessary attention should be given. We You can have dinner in the villa, and then watch the live broadcast while chatting with Anne and Lily in the guest room. How about it?"

The girl tried her best to make herself obviously casual, but her eyes were fixed on Natalie and she didn't want to leave for a second.And Natalie raised her eyelids to look at Angela, and a complicated look flashed across her.She opened her mouth as if to say "Okay", but she got up again before the sound came out, turned her head away for a long time before softly saying: "Sorry, Angie, I think... I have to stay in the dormitory Reading, although the subject this time is not too troublesome, I can't be careless."

Although this excuse sounds appropriate, the reluctance in Natalie's tone is very obvious.Angela couldn't help feeling disappointed and uncomfortable, and she managed to control her mind with a smile: "Okay, then I'm leaving, and it's almost started now...well, see you tomorrow."

As she said that, she leaned forward slightly with unwillingness.Natalie hesitated, but leaned in front of Angela and kissed the corner of her mouth.Suddenly, Angela held Natalie's face and kissed her heavily on her lips, sucking without hesitation.Although Natalie quickly followed her rhythm, she struggled slightly and did not stop until the end.

The lips were finally separated, and the two of them didn't make any other movements when their foreheads were pressed together. There was only the sound of their slight and slightly rapid breathing in the room.After a while, Angela finally stood up, said "I'm leaving" and left the room in a hurry. Natalie didn't speak until she reached out to close the door.

idiot!You screwed up again!On the car back, Angela couldn't help cursing herself in her heart.She covered her forehead and sighed for a while, not knowing what to do next.Why don't you just confess everything quickly?Angela shook her head in pain, if she could do it, she would do it.Damn, why are you so indecisive on this issue? !

"Do you want to have dinner here and in advance?" Annie asked after bringing the juice into the room.

"No, no, it's still in the restaurant. Just call me." Angela, who was curled up on the sofa, looked away from the TV and shook her head in a disinterested manner.

Annie looked at the TV screen, and the reporter happened to be interviewing Kate on the red carpet. She was wearing a goose yellow one-shoulder evening dress with just the right accessories, and she was as bright and moving as ever.

"What do you think the odds are of winning tonight, Miss Kate?"

"Of course it's 20%. I guess it's simple math, right?"

When Kate jokingly said "very simple math problem", Annie could clearly hear Angela laughing "sneaky", she covered her mouth and chuckled, clearly blaming Kate for not saving face for the other party.But in the next second, Angela's smile disappeared.

"Before you said that Ms. Angela gave you a lot of help. Do you think she deserves credit for being nominated?"

"Of course, I said a lot about this in the interview, so I don't think I need to repeat it here. However, it's a shame she's not at the award ceremony today."

Although the trace of regret on Kate's face was just right, those in the know could see the loneliness in her eyes.Annie couldn't help shaking her head slightly, hesitated for a while and finally asked, "You still haven't... confessed to them, Angie?"

Angela turned her head and looked at Annie with discomfort, covered her forehead and sighed, "I'm afraid."

"But...but..." Annie didn't know what to say for a while, "It's not an option to keep procrastinating like this."

"I know, I have already made a plan, and I revealed it to them slowly and quickly," Angela sat up violently and waved her arms a little excitedly, "but it definitely shouldn't be...it shouldn't be...now This way! This will only... will only mess everything up, I don't want this! I don't want it!"

"Angie..." Annie looked at her sadly, bit her lips lightly and was speechless.

After venting a little, Angela calmed down, curled up on the sofa again after a wry smile: "It's okay, that's it, there will be a way... there must be."

For a moment, Angela on the sofa looked so weak and helpless.Annie sighed deeply in her heart. Although she really wanted to help Angela, she really didn't know what she could do, so she finally left the room silently.

The Oscars ceremony is always a grand occasion, especially in the 73rd session which seems to be international - non-Americans accounted for a lot of places in the nominations, for example, Russell Crowe, who was nominated for the best actor for two films at the same time, was The Australian, while Juliette Binoche was nominated for Best Actress, and of course, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was nominated for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film, and Ann Lee was nominated for Best Director. .

It stands to reason that Angela should participate, but she still declined on the excuse that her homework was important.

Although not wanting to go to the Kodak Theater to show her breasts is one reason, the more important thing is that she doesn't know what to say after meeting Kate-in fact, if it is not inevitable to live with Natalie at Harvard, she may not even have Natalie. Tully would be hiding.

After the birthday, Angela spoke with Kate and Jessica on the phone.Jessica was fine, but although Kate's tone was the same as usual, she could tell that there was a little bit of estrangement in it, just like Natalie now.So Angela, who was a little hesitant about going or not, naturally made up her mind not to go.

"She always avoids like this, but she refuses to let go. Something will happen sooner or later." Alizee, who has never expressed much expression, said with a rare frown. "Look at her absent-minded appearance during dinner."

"Okay, Lily, stop talking, Angie is sad enough." Annie said in a low voice.

Alizee snorted softly, then stretched out her hand to squeeze Annie's arm lightly, and then pushed open the door.

"How's it going?" After sitting down next to Angela, Anne swiftly placed three cups and poured drinks.

"Best supporting actor is being awarded, and next is best supporting actress." Angela still looked listless.

"I was wondering, if it was announced a few hours later that you had won best director, would you jump up and say 'Yes,' or would you have fallen asleep?" After taking a seat on the armchair on Angela's other side, Alizee said so.

Angela didn't say anything, just turned her head and frowned at her.Alizee also seemed to realize that her words were not in line with her usual behavior, so she shut her mouth tightly and watched the TV without making a sound—this way of handling was in line with her usual behavior.

Fortunately, at this time, the award presenter Michael Caine on the TV had already begun to read the list of nominations, and as the camera switched to the split screen of the awards podium, he heard Michael Caine announce loudly: "The winner of the award is the best award winner." Best Supporting Actress, A Beautiful Mind, Kate Beckinsale! Congratulations!"

The screen of the TV was suddenly occupied by Kate's head portrait. At first she was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe it. The person next to her pulled her and then realized that she immediately held her face, excited, surprised and so on. The expression on his face was constantly changing, and at the same time, there was an indescribable expression, a bit like crying with joy but not.

"Damn it, no!" Angela hugged her head and shouted in a low voice.

Alizee and Annie looked at each other inexplicably, and then Annie asked, "What's the matter, Angie?"

"I don't think it's because Kate might leave her after she wins Best Supporting Actress." Alizee couldn't help saying something stinging, and then shrugged after Annie gave her a wink.

"No, of course not, Kate...Kate should win the award...but...shouldn't...such things..." Angela waved her arms and said incoherently, and finally she hugged her head again in despondency: "Why the matter Doesn't it always come as planned?"

Alizee frowned slightly, and originally planned to continue with a few sarcasm, but seeing Annie staring at Angela with worried eyes, she had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips.

"Thanks to my mother, she raised me; thanks to my father, he must be very happy in heaven; thanks to everyone, everyone who helped me, everyone who supported me..." Kate, who took over the statuette from Michael, began her speech, because Excited, she spoke intermittently, although she felt the same, but the tearful appearance made many people applaud her.

"Finally... I would like to thank the most important person in my life, Angie, thank you, thank you very much!" Even though she was a little vague, the meaning contained in the ear of the insider was very clear up.

"No!" Angela suddenly lay down on the sofa, covered her face and bumped her head against the armrest of the sofa.

"Anji!" Annie shouted in surprise, and just as she was about to step forward, Alizee had already hugged the girl first, and patted her on the back silently to comfort her.

After a while, Angela left Alizee's arms, straightened her upper body and leaned on the sofa.He looked up at the sad and sad face on the ceiling, as if he was drowning in something and couldn't get out.

"You have to give a response," Alizee said suddenly after a while, "Even a little bit is better than doing nothing."

Angela looked at her immediately, as if expecting her to say more.But Lily closed her mouth immediately, watching TV and returning to her usual expressionless look.

"It's true... at least it's better than doing nothing..." Angela, who had waited for a long time to no avail, suddenly murmured a few words, and her dim eyes finally became brighter.Annie, who had been watching from the side, was slightly relieved, and held her hands comfortingly.

Angela felt her concern, turned her head and forced a smile: "It's okay, Annie, thank you, thank you—" She looked at Alizee again, "Thank you Lily."

The atmosphere in the room finally improved a lot, but the three girls didn't speak any more, just watched the TV so quietly.

The awards ceremony continued on the screen, and the awards were awarded one after another.Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" received many nominations and caused a wave of Chinese enthusiasm in Los Angeles, Li Wen even became the first Chinese-American singer to sing at the Oscars. Complete failure.

As for "A Beautiful Mind", the best adaptation award fell into Angela's bag without any suspense, and Russell also won the best actor for this reason-yes, Russell won the best actor because of "A Beautiful Mind" Protagonist instead of Ridley's Gladiator.What this means is self-evident to many people who are familiar with the rules.

"Obviously, they think it's better for me to endure it." Angela heard the announcement on the TV as soon as she finished speaking: "The winner of the best director is, "Drug Network", Steven Soderbergh!"
