Blooming America

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

　　 She looked like she was in her teens, her small face was really cute, her long gauze blonde hair was tied up, and her big blue eyes were extremely focused.

　　 She is wearing a black ballet costume, white pantyhose and pointe shoes, holding a tambourine in her hand.

　　 Then—

　　 Music plays.

　　 The little girl just danced.

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

　　 "Oh, Kate." Emma covered her mouth excitedly.

　　 After all, this is already the final.

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

　　 The little girl performed a ballet dance called "Esmeralda", which only lasted more than 80 seconds.

　　 After a series of actions, the little girl made a half circle on the court, then raised the tambourine above her head, and then started kicking. Her first kick shocked the audience. Even professional ballerinas always kicked from 90 degrees to higher and the last few kicks to 180 degrees. However, this girl started from the first kick until The final ninth kick was slightly more than 180 degrees. What's more valuable is that it can keep the strength of each front kick at the same level and maintain the same height, but it is rare.

　　 "Papa Papa—"

　　 After the performance, there was a round of applause from the audience. The girl saluted the audience and then walked off the stage.

　　 After all the performances were over, the little girl won the championship without a doubt.

　　...

　　 If you want to ask me whether a beautiful woman is better or a handsome man after removing the subjective gender factor, I would choose a beautiful woman.

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

　　 I am looking forward to the opposite sex, and I fantasize that the beauty of women will make me secrete hormones.

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

　　 I probably read too many unbearable novels, but no matter how you look at that novel, I feel that women are better than men, so I also think that women seem to be better than men.

　　If it is really like that, it doesn't matter.

　　 But I am not sure if I will have such an urge after becoming a woman.

　　 Besides, beautiful women are a minority after all. They really crossed it. Who can guarantee that they can be beautiful women?

　　 And after forty, a woman begins to turn old and yellow, and men at this time are just when they are charming.

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

　　 When I was young, I hated growing up, and when I grow up, I also hate getting old.

　　 I have no hope of eternal life, but I hate the feeling of aging. It would be perfect if a person's lifespan remained the same, and when a person passed away, he looked like he was thirty or forty years old.

　　 In fact, the so-called traversal and rebirth, I just yelled in my heart, because I am an atheist. Even if someone told me that the Loch Ness monsters are pets kept by Martians, they are probably more real than Jehovah and Lao Tzu.

　　 This thought of mine may really offend the gods, or a certain **** wants to convince me of their existence by way of influence.

　　 Obviously, they succeeded.

　　 I am starting to be suspicious. When I go to church, I will bow my head piously and see the monk. I will put my hands together. If I can go to the Taoist temple, I will probably put incense and make a wish.

　　 may also be a masterpiece of aliens. They saw me as a "faithful atheist" and gave me a chance to experience it. Somalia’s star gates might really need to be closed to prevent those aliens from coming to Earth to play pranks—if that thing really exists.

　　...

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

　　 Although she has been wearing pointe shoes for more than two years to practice, but she still can't stand these shoes.

　　 fell on the bed all of a sudden, and the girl looked at the sky dementialy.

　　 How do you say, I have been here for 12 years, right?

　　 The calendar is 1960. Counting the time, I have been learning ballet for 8 years. Alas, who calls my mother a ballerina? Although she stopped performing after giving birth to herself, she pinned her hopes on herself.

　　 Her parents are both immigrants, and they are all orphans of World War II—the two also met each other because of this. The mother has British and Nordic ancestry, while the father is a French and Jewish mixed blood. The "heterosis" is manifested vividly in Catherine. Although she is only 12 years old, she is already so cute and beautiful.

　　 "Always do something... um, by the way, "that" should almost be mailed, right?"

　　As a rebirth—well, with the change of gender, Catherine thought she had to do something. Her home is on the outskirts of New York City, and she feels middle-class. However, this life can't just be wasted like this, even if I am a little loli now, there are so many things I can do.

　　 lay down for a while, she sat up again, and then started massaging her feet.

Although 　　 ballet looks beautiful, the incorrect method will make the calf thick and splayed, and often wearing pointe shoes can also cause toe deformities. Although Emma used to be a very professional ballet dancer, and the New York Ballet School she studied is also a very professional ballet study-New York Ballet School, School-of-American-Ballet, referred to as SAB, is part of the Lincoln Center for the Arts, and famous The Julia Conservatory is in the same building and has a strong artistic atmosphere.

　　 Although it is terrible to become a woman, Catherine did not abandon herself. Although reborn in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, it really feels a bit difficult to follow.

　　 Just then, Emma knocked on Catherine's door.

　　 "Kate, a Mr. Robert is looking for you. He said he is a volunteer from Paper Book Company... Kate, what's wrong with you?"

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

So fast? !

　　 Catherine's face was full of surprises. I didn't expect that she still has a talent for writing-although most plots can be "referenced".

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

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

　　 It is reasonable to say that the publishing house should first send a letter, and then call to make an appointment. How come they come directly?

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

　　 "Ah...oh...you...you are Miss Catherine?" Robert looked at the little girl walking towards him, but his face became unbelievable.

　　 This young man who seemed to have just made his debut was shocked by Catherine's age.

　　 "Harry Potter".

　　 That’s right, Catherine “written” this novel, and she wrote three of them at once, and then sent them together.

　　 After all, she is not sure whether such novels can become popular in different eras, nor whether the other party really has that vision.

　　 But obviously, her plan seems feasible.

　　 After all, the magic wave of "The Lord of the Rings" has just started a few years ago, and after ten years, "The Lord of the Rings" has once again triggered another high chao.

　　 It can even be said that the later Dungeons and Dragons series and various video games have been affected by the Lord of the Rings. What kind of orcs, elves and the like.

　　 But the modern background of "Harry Potter" made the editors of Paper Book Publishing House a bright spot.

　　 Such a novel and such a story clearly subverted the magical world created by Tolkien and opened up another new world.

　　 There is another reason why Catherine chose this novel, because the "Harry Potter" series can barely be regarded as a fairy tale, and when I write it at my age, the sense of disobedience is not too strong.

　　 "You guessed 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... Are you kidding me?

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

　　 "I think you must have come for my novel?" Catherine looked at the cramped look of the other party, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

　　 "Uh...ah, that's right!"

　　 Robert took out a document from his briefcase.

　　 "We will provide 10% royalties and 50,000 US dollars in compensation, but we want to buy out the copyrights of all three books..."

　　 The so-called royalties refer to the share of retail books, such as 10% royalties, 50 US dollars for a book, and every book sold, the author can get 5 US dollars.

　　 The 1960s was the golden age of U.S. development. The Bretton Woods system has not yet collapsed. The U.S. is still implementing the gold standard. The U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar, that’s how it came.

　　 Catherine really doubted how this stunned young man passed the interview. You know, the contract document says 7% royalties and 20,000 US dollars, and the other party suddenly reported the bottom line...

　　 After all, 10% royalties are already a lot for newcomers.

　　 Catherine naturally laughed when she encountered such a stunned green.

　　 "Kate, oh god, Kate, you actually wrote this novel?"

　　, the mother Emma was looking at Catherine in a daze.

In fact, Emma has long confirmed that Catherine is a genius. She has been admitted to Grier-School. Although this girls’ school has only more than 300 students per year, it is true that the top 100 middle schools in the United States can pass the exam. Certain strength is not enough.

　　 As early as when Catherine was just 7 years old, Catherine showed amazing "talent", AR (ELERATED-READER-TEST) reached 120 points.

　　 AR is a kind of reading test. Students in the third grade can get about 20-this is the highest, even if they are above the fifth grade, not many can get 120 points.

　　 At that time, Catherine chose "Children's Bible".

　　 In fact, if she had a better English at the time, he even considered reading "Das Kapital".

　　 The teacher’s suggestion to Emma is to transfer her to the TALENTED-STUDENT-SCHOOL, which is a school dedicated to students above IQ145. At least until George W. Bush cuts spending on highly talented students for the education of low-mented children like himself, such schools are very complete and excellent. Education in the United States is very responsible, at least in most places. Com, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, this was the golden decade of the United States. Everything was flying and changing. Education was also the top priority of this year.

　　 But Catherine has self-knowledge, she is just a foresight, to say high IQ...hehe.

　　 So Catherine rejected the plan.

　　 After talking to Robert and signing the contract by the guardian, Emma, ​​she reacted.

　　 "What novel did you write?" Emma asked.

　　 "Harry Potter, a story about magic."

　　 Emma nodded. Children generally like to imagine some weird things.

　　 "Well, I'm really looking forward to it. I'll talk to your dad then."

　　 European and American education has some heuristic meanings. Parents sometimes talk to their children with the meaning of friends, and then use words of encouragement and look forward to inspire the children.

　　 "Of course, I'm a genius." If the prophet has not had a history of more than 50 years, he would have nowhere to be.

In the last life, although Catherine was a college graduate, he was studying software, but this world is a world where no personal computer was born. Even the founder of the famous Intel company was still in Fairchild Semiconductor. Part-time job, in such a world, what is the use of one's professional ability?

　　 So, after coming to this world, Catherine has never left to study. With her foresight, she can be regarded as a small "genius".

　　 Catherine’s goal is to earn 200 years of property before the age of 20, and then spend 50 years on it.

　　 Anyway, I have become a woman, so how can I give it a try? Of course, she would never touch a man.
