The Goddess Shines on America

Here, still in Los Angeles, autumn has arrived.

Although the cold wind is not expected to be severe, the residents of every household have to wear thick clothes, and the residents of Karlfu have bought new clothes. At the same time, as the New Year is approaching, many grand festivals will come one after another. Halloween will come first, Thanksgiving will follow, and then there will be the Christmas that everyone celebrates and the New Year almost side by side. As soon as the festive atmosphere arrives, every household feels happy.

"Mom~ I'm going out~"

"Dad! See you later!"

At No. 15 Wenton Street, Hannah and Oscar walked out of the house one after the other. The two brothers and sisters have grown up, at least after this winter, Oscar will be able to get a driver's license that he can't wait for, and Hannah will also enter high school and become a glorious and great world savior ——Alice language.

The boy was wearing a denim jacket, and the girl was also dressed in the same way. One had dense black hair and the other had fluttering red hair. Just a few steps out of the house, the older brother got on a mountain bike.

Hannah rode on the back seat and said with a smile, "Hey, Oscar, when you take your driver's license test tomorrow, this bike will be completely mine."

"Look at you!" Oscar grinned, started up with a jingle, and headed towards the city: "When I get my driver's license, you will definitely be the co-pilot of me. Brother, I don’t sit in my BMW, but ride a bicycle and follow behind, what’s the matter!”

"Oh, Oscar, have you decided?" Hannah was riding on the back seat with ease: "Want to buy a small BMW?"

The speed of the mountain bike was fast, and Oscar was in no hurry to answer his sister's question. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who were in house number 11, were both returning. A BMW and a Mercedes-Benz rumbled towards their English-style house.

"If you really want to talk about buying a car, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome." Oscar frowned, thinking of the area of ​​his own parking lot, he couldn't help saying: "I already have a Cadillac at home, and my sister's Bugatti is now parked in the UK, but after returning It will definitely take up another space, I will buy a car next year, and if you buy a car next year, you won’t be able to park at home.”

That's true, of course my family knows how big the area is. The Wang family did not build a huge mansion that could hold large parties like Roger Lawrence did. For Mansion No. 15, parking four cars is a very huge burden.

Even if you can barely put it down, the visual oppression is a very annoying thing.

"Then kick Ellie out of the house!" Hannah yelled from the back seat. "When she graduates from Eton, she'll be an eighteen-year-old woman! Let her live outside by herself, she's not welcome! "

The mountain bike has entered the urban area and is heading towards the destination of the brothers and sisters. Oscar looked up to the sky and laughed, the old sister's proposal really won the hearts of the people.

"I think my sister will definitely think so, but she has complained more than once that going to school delays work, Hannah, do you believe that she doesn't plan to go to college at all?"

"I really believe it~"

The downtown area is bustling with pedestrians. Hannah rides behind her brother and looks at the sidewalk. Halloween is approaching, and all kinds of weird props and costumes have begun to be bought in store windows.

"It's been another four years since I entered university. It's too late for the president of Stanford to hire her as a computer professor. Going to be a college student in person? It's impossible for Alice to be so careless... Oops, turn carefully!"

With a creaking sound, Oscar stopped the car in front of the destination.

The Amelia bookstore is overcrowded again today, for no other reason, because Alice's new book promotion officially started today.

No, just after the two sisters got out of the car, they heard a young man in front complaining: "We agreed to open the door at 8:30, but it's really stuck at 8:30, can't these bastards let us in earlier?"

The siblings looked at each other and smiled. They were not in a hurry, but there were quite a few customers with similar thoughts.

"I'm a die-hard fan of Alice-Wang, everyone look forward to it!"

A tall and thin college youth showed a small notebook, which was densely pasted and stuffed with many shiny things.

"Jurassic Park first edition, English edition, Japanese edition first edition commemorative card! "Blood Fairy Tale" first edition, English edition, Swedish first edition commemorative card! "After School" first Japanese edition, English edition Souvenir card! See all of these? The premiere movie ticket stub for Ghost Story! Alien 2's..."

It's really shouting for God, because Hannah has already done this, it's so funny, they actually met the old lady's die-hard fans in front of the bookstore?

"Hey hey hey, you're just doing entertainment, I'm an encyclopedia here!"

The result was good, and the teasing conference began. An unconvinced chunky young man said loudly: "Have you ever bought Alice's router? Have you ever bought Alice's Winodows system? Have you ever been to Alice's place in Ginza, Japan?" Have you ever shopped in a shopping mall? These are the things that die-hard fans should do!"

The tall and thin young man froze for a moment: "What? Alice has a shopping mall in Ginza? Is it real or not? Why don't I know?"

This sentence immediately aroused the laughter of many people around, and the two brothers and sisters of the Wang family were watching in a daze.

"You don't even know that Alice has invested in real estate in Japan, so you have the nerve to say that you are her die-hard fan?" This is an office worker in a suit in his early thirties.

"Haha~ I'm out of date, buddy, I'm afraid you don't know yet. British newspapers have reported many times in the morning. Do you know about Alice's new round of actions in the UK?" A college student, you can tell by his Nerd attire.

"I really admire her. She is only sixteen years old this year. If it were my daughter..." This was a middle-aged man who was forty years old.

Hannah patted Oscar on the shoulder: "Brother, is this the so-called darkness under the lights? No matter how famous a person is, if I treat her as someone close to me, the perspective will inevitably be special?"

Oscar squinted at the middle-aged man who lamented that his elder sister was not his daughter: "A group of lovers of "Lolita"! Damn, by the way, my elder sister also loves to watch "Lolita". What is this!?"

It doesn't matter what it is, because it finally arrived at 8:30, and the customers who had been waiting for a long time suddenly filed into the bookstore. Of course, as one of the largest bookstores in downtown Los Angeles, it has a lot of new books coming out every month, but the crowd didn't come for the bestsellers, they all flocked to the new book promotion area.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone!" The middle-aged man in his forties looked at the roll-up: "I plan to write a five-million-word children's fantasy! Great long story!"

That's right, this year is the first day of promotion for Alice's new book, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Although according to Bantam's official statement, the author himself has only written two-thirds of the full text, but that is also said to have completed nearly 400,000 words. Isn't it easy to extract a little bit from so much content, and then make a trial booklet and distribute it to the public?

"But isn't this cover a bit...too abstract?" A woman of mother's age led her daughter and stood in front of the poster printed on the book cover: "Is he Harry Potter? Doesn't he look like that?" looks nice."

The content of the book cover is unmistakable, that is, a boy with glasses is riding a broomstick, passing through a doorway from top to bottom, trying to catch a small golden ball next to him.

"But the broomstick!" The daughter, who was about eight years old, yelled happily: "Harry is a little wizard, he can fly!"

At today's new book promotion event, many of the readers present were of the age of elementary school students, and the voices of twittering were everywhere, making the scene as if returning to the elementary school classroom.

"The boy who lived! Ha! The boy is lucky!" This is a twelve-year-old boy, holding the first page of the trial booklet and yelling, frightened the girl next to him with a broom .

"Jamie? Be quiet, don't yell. Didn't you scare that little sister? Go and apologize!" So his mother came over right away.

"Oh, girl," the boy said to the girl, "Have you read the first chapter? Do you know why this kid survived a catastrophe? Hey! Look at this illustration, it's still a baby! The boy is amazing, with bruises on his body. Magic shield?"

"Hmm...that..." The girl rubbed her forehead: "I haven't read the book yet, but he can fly on a broom, so amazing..."

"What!? Broom!? Fly!? Where!?"

In this way, in a certain corner of the bookstore, a boy and a girl started a conversation, and seeing that their conversation became more and more enthusiastic, it seemed that they would soon be able to exchange phone numbers.

"Good guy, I didn't think about it just now, why are there more and more people now?" Oscar began to feel uncomfortable. After all, he is already an adult who is about to take the driver's license test, and there are a large group of children around the age of primary school students. Cheering, coupled with all kinds of shouting voices from the parents, it really can't be noisy anymore!

"Isn't this very good." In a short time, Hannah had already received two trial booklets, and happily gave one to her brother: "Mother often told us that women and children are the best earners. Yes. Aren’t children-oriented magical novels like this kind of bedtime reading for many people? My sister is fully stimulating market demand.”

"Oh, my name is Jamie, Jamie Hawke!" At the same time, not far away, the boy really asked for the girl's home number: "This is our home number, ah hello, why don't you compete to see who can read faster?" ?”

After a long whistle, Oscar witnessed the scene: "Amazing boy, how did the old lady say that? Full marks for picking up girls?"

Hannah stood aside and smiled softly: "It seems that I need to urge Vivi to publish the book quickly~"
