Chapter 308 Youth
Time flows quietly like an hourglass.
On the big screen.
Michael finally looked up at Mia.
Mia stared at Michael quietly, unable to conceal her anxiety and uneasiness.
But this time, there was a mask between them, like armor, drawing a line. Their eyes were clearly facing each other, but there was an ocean between them.
In the audience, Gloria was stunned like this——
Like everyone else, she could not see Michael’s expression. That face was hidden behind the mask, slightly The solemn atmosphere became joyful.
However.
Gloria could see those eyes, looking through the mask, as if they could penetrate the big screen and communicate face to face with every audience.
A piece of blue, quiet and deep, magnificent and gorgeous, so affectionate and yet so fragile; in fact, there are no tears, no sadness, no disappointment, on the contrary, a shallow smile emerges, but behind those tenderness can be deeply felt The loneliness of heartbreak and the bitterness of disappointment.
Deeply, just look deeply at Mia, and at the same time look at every audience.
Without words, or even expressions and movements, Gloria was able to listen to Michael's heart, causing ripples in the depths of his soul.
Caught off guard, Gloria fell like this.
In the entire screening room, everything was silent, there was no sound at all, even the trivial sounds of breathing and heartbeat disappeared. Everyone could not help but hold their breath and stared at the pair of masks hidden on the big screen. The blue eyes behind him quietly listened to the sound of the hourglass of time slowly falling.
In fact, it’s not that I don’t like it, or that I’m desperate; it’s that I’m afraid.
Precisely because I like it so much, the emotion is so strong and turbulent that after experiencing disappointment and injury, I start to become afraid.
Carefully distance yourself, worried about being disappointed again, worried that the emotions you have always cherished will fall apart and disappear.
The more this happens, the more exposed one's emotions and anxiety are, the emotions are so strong and so turbulent.
Gloria couldn't help but feel bitter. She didn't expect, and neither did the other viewers in the screening room, that "Princess Diaries" would actually offer such a moment.
That slightly funny mask was a stroke of genius, and those azure eyes transformed a moment into eternity and became frozen for a long time.
My thoughts are surging in my mind, with mixed feelings. I am deeply immersed in the movie like a moth flying into a flame, unable to extricate myself and continue to fall and sink.
Gloria felt it, and Mia on the screen felt it too.
She looked into Michael's eyes, trying to find the strength to continue speaking.
“I am still going to the National Day Ball in Genovia, and I invite you to come with me.”
"It's going to be fun, you know, I'll be wearing a costume and I'm not breathing well... Lily also has a dance partner..."
Michael didn't speak in a hurry, and the right hand holding the mask was slightly stiff.
After a pause, the air seemed a little quiet and a little bit cold.
Then, Michael said, "Josh should be very suitable for a tuxedo."
Mia was stunned, she was a little panicked, her pupils shook violently, "Oh, uh, but, look, Here’s the thing… I really want to share moments like this with you.”
Michael still didn't move.
The eyes behind the mask seem to be slightly blurred, and the flickering of the eyes can be faintly seen, but it is difficult to distinguish clearly.
His right hand was stubbornly and rigidly placed in front of his cheek, blocking all changes in his expression and creating a chasm between the two people. "You don't need to wear a tuxedo, you can wear sweatpants, I don't care." Mia is still trying, with a little pleading in her voice.
Finally, Michael dropped his mask.
That face, calm and calm, with a slight smile, raised the corners of his mouth towards Mia, "Mia, you don't need to worry about me. I just think that I have no chance to be with the royal family."
Michael thinks Mia's invitation was one of sympathy.
And he doesn’t need it.
Michael met Mia's gaze, expressed his gratitude with a smile, then put the mask back on the table, looked around, and then realized that the envelope had been in his left hand, and he gestured towards Mia After a moment, he made a jerky and clumsy knight's salute, turned around and walked away.
Mia watched Michael's leaving figure, her shoulders and smile drooped, full of sadness and heartbreak.
After all, one day, we need to learn to grow, and we need to learn to face the pains and scars of the growth process, although it is not easy.
But at least, Mia is learning.
When Lana and her cheerleaders make trouble for other students, Mia finally finds the courage to stand up for those students who are being silently bullied.
At the same time, Mia was able to sit down and talk to the Queen calmly. She believed that she was not suitable to be a princess, but this did not affect the relationship between her and the Queen.
Mia called the Queen "Grandma" for the first time, which made the Queen let go of her guard and gave Mia a big hug. They both found their own peace.
If there were no accidents, Mia would be like thousands of adolescent girls, and her life would return to peace. Princesses and royal families would all be far away from her daily life; however, a small accident, Mia's life would return to peace when the queen gave it to her. A letter left for her by her father was found in the diary.
“My dearest daughter,
Today is your sixteenth birthday, congratulations.
I present this diary to you, so that you can fill it with your unique The idea of a unique idea of a good life is a tradition in my family, when children reach a certain age, to pass on the wisdom, just like my father passed it on to me, and now I will pass it on to you.
Emilia, courage is not to stop being afraid, but to discover something more important than fear; perhaps, courage cannot be invincible, but fear is of no use at all. From now on, you will embark on a journey, wherever you are The key to choosing between who you think you are and who you can become is allowing yourself to embark on the journey
I also want you to know that I love your mother dearly and still think of her often.
Happy birthday, my Mia.
All the love to you, dad. "
Mia curled up on the chair, hugging her knees, her watery eyes staring ahead, full of confusion and swaying.
You can hear it in the screening room The sound of quietly wiping tears is because of the father's love for his daughter, and also because of the uneasiness and fear of every adolescent girl.
Genovia's National Day dinner has begun, and Mia has become active. It seems that she has a plan.
Unexpectedly, it suddenly rained heavily in San Francisco, and Mia's wild horse had problems again.
First the convertible top could not be closed, and then it broke down on the hillside of San Francisco. Mia was stuck halfway helplessly like a drowned rat.
During the heavy rain, Michael, who was alone at home, heard someone knocking on the door——
Could it be Mia?
Just as the audience was looking forward to it, Michael opened the door, and what appeared in front of him was... a delivery boy with a goatee, responsible for delivering pizza.
Michael looked confused, "I didn't order pizza. Sorry."
The delivery boy showed a big smile, "So, there is a second Michael Moscow on this street "Witz?"
The smile on Michael's lips couldn't help but freeze.
