Anna has thought of many possibilities.
The good and the bad.
She was mentally prepared to withstand ridicule, and she also looked forward to receiving relief and encouragement.
What kind of result.
She can accept it calmly.
Only this sentence was not on the long list of possible replies in her mind.
This is one of Mom’s walnut tarts that is not on the restaurant menu, a rare treasure that will never appear on an auction list.
So Anna cried instantly.
Many years.
Time is like water, and the world is like the sea.
She sat alone on a high throne, watching the vast tide flowing past her in solitude, as if she were sitting in an old-fashioned cinema watching a black and white silent film playing.
Everyone is lifeless, pale and colorless, like a puppet playing a specific role on the stage.
Including herself.
The proud and noble Miss Irina, the elegant and beautiful Miss Irina, the powerful and calm Miss Irina, the wily Sir Brown, the flashy prodigal cousin Oller, and the loyal Mr. Butler. All these characters are on the same side of the black and white screen.
As for the sentimental little girl holding the little prince and the doll, she does not belong to that world.
In that world.
No one regards her as a person who needs pity, and she cannot be a person who needs pity.
So she could only shut herself in the corner of the theater, in the deepest part of her heart, and watch the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys happening on the screen weakly amidst the sound of the rustling projector film.
There used to be other people in this cinema.
Her parents once sat beside her, but their parents were gone when she was very young.
Also sitting was my aunt.
After my aunt passed away a few years ago, there was only a little girl sitting in front of the screen with three crosses in the cemetery, day after day, year after year.
If there is anything else that can barely be considered alive, it may be August.
August’s lifespan is almost fifty years old when converted into human lifespan.
He is a complete old dog.
Anna took August with her every day, bathed him, brushed him, and assigned him a specialized pet doctor.
She was so scared, so scared, so scared that August would leave her one day.
Then in this world, she is really the only one left walking through the deserted space of black and white and silence, without even a companion to feed her popcorn.
Every day, every hour, every moment.
There are bright and erotic smiling faces on the screen, telling Miss Irina wearing a gauze crown that she wants to love her, want to get her, and want to kiss her. hand.
When she thought that the same plot would be repeated endlessly.
Until one day.
Suddenly, someone did not look at the high-ranking head of the Elena family.
But she turned her head, looked through the movie curtain, and said softly, "Poor, I want to hug you."
In an instant.
She successfully crossed the barrier of the curtain, walked into the barrier of the theater, and took the little girl into her arms.
This is the encounter of two colorful figures in a black and white world.
Chance and fate intersect the warm embrace of the two dimensions in Irina's heart.
So, the little girl who lived in Miss Elena's heart rushed over without any scruples and threw herself into this embrace that spanned time and space.
Cry loudly.
Anna, who was holding the phone, was smiling.
She lightly covered her mouth with the back of her hand, pursed her lips and smiled, smiling freely and gracefully, bending down slightly.
A tear rolled down my cheek.
The drops dripping from her smooth chin onto the carpet, like the first melting spring water in early spring, flowing through the white snow in the Austrian mountains.
August sniffed the tears on the carpet.
It put its front paws on Anna's chair, stretched out its big head, barked in a panic, and licked its owner's forehead with its tongue.
"I'm fine."
Anna patted August's nose and shook her head gently, indicating that there was nothing wrong with her and she was just happy.
"Hmm"
She didn't want Detective Cat to hear anything unusual in her tone.
So I just made a slightly charming nasal voice into the phone and asked the other party to continue talking.
"She is very pitiful. You are right. She must be very scared. She is afraid of doing nothing, but also afraid of doing something wrong, and is helpless. I understand this feeling. , I have had the same feeling."
Gu Weijing's tone was sympathetic.
He heard the young heir in Mr. Sloth's words, and seemed to see himself crying by the lake a few weeks ago.
"Mr. Sloth, do you know?"
"A friend told me that no matter how much the world changes, you must be serious about being a painter. Once you are successful, you are a painter." Serious painter. No one cares about failure. You are also a serious painter. Do your own thing and find your own anchor."
"No matter the result. No matter what, she will always be by my side. This is the most touching expression I have ever heard."
Gu Weijing left out the part about yoga and meditation.
Express what Miss Katsuko expressed to Mr. Sloth as much as possible.
"Heart Anchor"
Anna wiped her face and repeated this statement softly in her mind.
"Mr. Sloth, you just said that what my nephew needs to understand most is not to make choices, but to know what is the most important thing to him."
"I think, for you, For a friend, it should be exactly the same situation, isn’t it?”
As a sensitive personality owner who has just experienced a similar situation, Gu Weijing became confused when he started talking about this matter. Have to talk endlessly.
"She needs to understand what she wants and be herself. If she succeeds, she will be herself. If she fails, she will still be herself."
"No matter whether the choice is right or not, At least she is moving towards what she wants, so she has no regrets and no fear, that is her anchor."
He kept talking for several minutes.
After taking a breath, he took a sip of water.
"This is the truth. It may sound a bit feeble to say it in vain, but as long as I am willing to think about it carefully, I will feel much better every time I feel hesitant."
Gu Weijing nodded firmly.
"You asked me if I was convinced that I would be successful when I drew ten-dollar illustrations. Of course not. No one can foresee success the moment they pick up the brush. At least that's not me, I'm sure I don’t have such a strong and determined heart.” He smiled, “But I think I can decide to paint for the people I love the moment I pick up the brush. That way I won’t be afraid. ”
Anna remained silent.
She was sitting in a wheelchair, listening quietly with a gentle expression.
In the adult world, no one can convince others to make a major decision to change their destiny with just a few words.
Not the liar lecturers who boast about success on the podium, nor Dr. King, the psychologist in New Zealand who earns $1,000 an hour.
Gu Weijing
In fact, he does not have this ability.
But Anna never needs to be persuaded by others to make a decision.
She had already made the real decision in her heart.
What she needs is just a little courage, a ray of sunshine, and a little inspiration.
All she needs is a shared breath and a warm hug.
All she needs to do is wait for the person who can bring her strong comfort and psychological support, and hold her in his arms.
If Anna's aunt was still alive, of course she would be a more suitable candidate to open her arms.
A sensitive and fragile person like Gu Weijing would not have been able to give such strong faith and support.
But after that magical couple’s trip, he became qualified.
More qualified than any big shot Anna knows.
In fact, the faith and support did not come from Gu Weijing, or even Miss Sakai. Looking back to the source, it should be Mrs. Sakai.
The man left behind his Mercedes-Benz car and his luxurious life, and followed his husband to Asia to work hard without any hesitation.
He ran towards an unknown destiny without even frowning.
After making a decision, a Latin girl will never regret it even if she jumps from the building.
You can say she is mean, you can say she has a poisonous tongue, you can say she is an "old fairy" who is difficult to get along with.
But Mrs. Sakai is really a mentally strong and determined person.
She is a successful strong woman who can throw away everything without caring and single-handedly "train and pull" Uncle Sakai from the bottom to the top.
One in a million.
Even Irina’s wise and knowledgeable aunt will not have such a precious and bumpy life experience, because like Anna, she has also been a rich man in a pile of gold and jade all her life. female.
Twenty years ago.
The blond aunt’s hard slap on Uncle Sakai’s face reverberated in the long river of time, turned into a long and affectionate kiss in the botanical garden, and then turned into a virtual radio wave across time and space. Hug, in Miss Anna's heart.
To this day,
still echoes.
“I don’t know if these words will be useful, but there are only so many I can think of, and I don’t dare to express any opinions on the inheritance of such a large family property”
The cat lady, who was full of sympathy due to her sense of empathy, became shy again after expressing her personal opinions passionately.
After all, it’s a matter of US$12 million.
"Useful. Be brave and be yourself, full of philosophical advice. Thank you, I will convey your words to the other party."
Anna gently interrupted the detective cat .
It must be very useful.
I promise you.
Is there ever a moment when you feel that when you are held in someone's arms, you will have endless courage to fight against the whole world?
Anna has an uncontrollable impulse. , I want to ask Ms. Cat whether she will stay by my side no matter what the outcome is.
It’s just that she opened her mouth several times.
I didn’t know what position I should take to say this somewhat ambiguous words. In the end, I could only regretfully say goodbye to each other and hang up the phone.
Anna put the phone back aside.
I opened the bedroom window, picked up the rose flower arrangement inserted in a pottery jar made by Picasso in 1965 on the table, and threw it from the window one by one, watching it drift in the wind. Disappearing freely in the fields of the manor.
"I have to do something big the day after tomorrow."
The girl turned her head and looked at August lying beside her, smiling silently, "In order to be myself, Also for the detective cat."
Anna gathered her emotions and pressed the inquiry bell at the table.
After waiting for the neatly dressed housekeeper to knock on the door, she ordered, "Call Mr. Valita and tell him that I need to cancel the visit appointment tomorrow morning and express my apology to him. ”
“Okay, I will call His Majesty Valita’s office. Considering that we have to prepare to have dinner with the President at sunset, plus the long drive, tomorrow’s schedule is really too busy. ." The steward bowed and accepted the order.
The His Majesty Valita they call is not the monarch of any European country, but the abbot of Melk Monastery.
The archbishop of this area can officially be called His Majesty.
In the elector system in German history next door, the two voting princes were the archbishops of each generation of a specific diocese.
The Archbishop is also the only person in Austria today who can be called His Majesty in public without breaking the law.
Of course.
Even if the aristocracy no longer exists, in Melk Abbey or when exchanging letters with aristocratic families in the Commonwealth countries, to show respect, Anna herself will often follow the ancient etiquette and add the title "His Royal Highness" title.
Anna shook her head.
It’s not a matter of time.
It is the tradition of Elena's family that when making a major decision, they should go to Melk Abbey to face Athena driving the lion chariot under the dome, and think carefully before making a decision.
This is probably some kind of psychological suggestion habit.
She canceled her plan to go to Melk Abbey, not because she was tired from the journey and her time was tight.
But Anna no longer needs the goddess Athena on the chariot to give her inspiration and courage. She has her own soul to rely on.
Detective Cat Sister.
Just like that popular saying.
For you,
Thousands of times.
She waited for the housekeeper to leave the study, then took out her mobile phone, found a name from the contact list, and clicked to call.
Just a few seconds to wait.
The call was answered immediately.
"Good afternoon, Miss Elena" came a respectful and polite voice on the phone.
"Reporter Ron William of Economic Critic, I have a big news to announce at the annual meeting. You may want to write a press release in advance"
IV Ten hours later.
Sunday morning.
The ancient castle and bell tower are bathed in the rising sun, and in sharp contrast is the weird building in the city center.
The huge blue new art center with a specific curvature arc on its surface gives people an unreal sci-fi feel.
Locals affectionately call it "friendly alien" or "heterosexual bug".
For this era.
It is too new, and the city's buildings are too old.
So it itself is like a magnificent plastic art covering an area of 16.88 million square meters, like a huge spaceship parked among the surrounding medieval red brick buildings.
Two kinds of dislocationTime and space collide with each other, with a strange space opera feel.
At this time, tourists had already formed a long queue in front of the art museum.
A continuous stream of taxis and Ubers passed by the drop-off point, braking and accelerating, and their taillights formed a continuous neon strip.
William, who had been up almost all night, had just been miming in the car for a while.
When he opened the car door, stretched and got out of the car, he saw exactly this noisy scene of busy traffic. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
