Sean, who had been sitting on the grass, was stunned for a moment when he heard the familiar name and voice, and paused for a few seconds before looking up at the girl with long thick light blonde hair.She still doesn't remember my name."
Oh."
Instead of shaking the friendly outstretched hand, he answered coldly, picked up his guitar and got up to go back to his little tree house.Deborah's hand stiffened, looking at his back with some confusion before she put her hand back in her pocket in embarrassment.What a rude guy, I told him my name first.Is the character of playing music so cold these days?
She pursed her lips, cut off, and turned to leave.Then she saw the boy climb up the "huge" treehouse."
You actually have a treehouse!"
Deborah's eyes widened, and the tone of surprise made Sean's tree climbing pause, and he glanced back at her inexplicably, as if to say, "What's all the fuss about?"
”What are you kidding, a treehouse is every kid's dream!?
Literally,EVERYONE!!!
Deborah tilted her head forward, bent her right hand and said in an incredulous tone, "Seriously, you're not serious, are you?"
It's a treehouse!
”She hasn't even had a treehouse!
Deborah's parents were so busy with their own careers that they never had time to build her a treehouse, and as she got older, she never mentioned this childlike request again, but the dream never disappeared from her heart.Sean looked at Deborah, her light green eyes were crystal clear in the sun, beautiful like two shining glass beads, filled with thick anticipation and envy, almost no one could refuse.He is no exception.I saw him purse his lower lip, which slowed down the pounding heartbeat, and then pretended to be flat and dropped a sentence of "Then you come up", and entered the tree house with a force on his thigh, and there was no figure in sight.Deborah blinked, then laughed, and happily walked under the treehouse, put the skateboard in her backpack, and climbed up the tree.Deborah doesn't look like a girl who can climb trees, but in reality, she tries everything when Matthew and Jacqueline are often away.For example, climbing a tree, Deborah's nimble movements are like a wild child who is used to doing this, and even Sean couldn't help but widen his eyes when he reacted that Deborah was a girl and quickly stretched out her head to help her.Deborah easily climbed onto the treehouse, looking at Sean's undisguised surprise and couldn't help but be amused by his expression."
It doesn't look like it, though."
Deborah sat down across from him, looked around the inside of the treehouse, and then looked at him again, "But actually, I'm not a lady. ”Sean nodded noncommittally, and then put the guitar on his back on the guitar stand, and suddenly felt that the treehouse, which was originally quite spacious, had become a little cramped with the presence of one more person.He always felt uncomfortable getting too close to Deborah, and his heart was beating fast, so he simply kept a distance of at least one meter from Deborah, which was equivalent to half of the space in the treehouse.His fingers propped up behind his body moved uncomfortably, and suddenly a topic came to mind: "I have chocolate chips and potato chips here, which one do you want to eat?"
”"Children make choices," Deborah didn't feel uncomfortable at all, she was busy looking inside the treehouse of her dreams, and when she heard a snack, she happily patted the ground and winked at him, "I want it all!"
”Sean couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth up slightly, then stepped back and walked to the drawer to take out all the inventory and put it between him and Deborah.He had invited many friends to come in and play in this treehouse, but he never let them touch his snacks, which were all treasures of his collection, and all of his friends knew about them.Deborah shoved a potato chip into her mouth: "So, do you usually play music here?"
”The reason for this question is that Deborah sees that many of the arrangements here are related to music, including the music score she can't understand, the notes carved into the wood, and the posters of the pop singers nowadays, and Deborah also recognizes the country singer Taylor Swift.She was curious about it all."
Hmm."
Sean followed her gaze at the posters, and his face immediately burned.He wanted to explain that he wasn't chasing stars, just using them as a goal to motivate him, but he didn't know how to speak, so he finally blushed and hugged the guitar in his arms.Deborah didn't notice his blush, she had chocolate chips in her mouth, felt the sweet taste spread, squinted her eyes happily, then pointed to the guitar in his hand, and asked curiously, "Then do you know how to write songs?"
”Sean was stunned, he did try to write songs, but those lyrics were basically written with Deborah as the protagonist, and now Deborah is in front of him......
He hurriedly shook his head at Deborah: "Not yet, it's just a cover of some songs at the moment." ”As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought that the lyrics seemed to be in this treehouse, and when he looked at Deborah's eyes, he became a little like pins and needles."
And what song did you just sing down there?
I don't think I've heard it yet, can you tell me the name of the song?
”Deborah asked curiously.Sean was still vaguely searching for the lyrics book, and when he heard this, his body stiffened for a moment.Oh no, that song just sang down there......
Sean suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I think there seems to be something to be done yet, so let's stop here today." ”Deborah blinked and looked at Sean who was about to chase people away, feeling a little inexplicable.Are people who play music so uncertain?
She was also a little unhappy, put down the potato chips in her hand and lifted her backpack."
Oh."
She said, getting up to get ready to get out of the treehouse.What a stinky temper this boy has, no matter how good his singing is!
Due to her heavy movements, the backpack suddenly hung on something and fell to the ground with a thud.She looked down and saw that it was a black and white book.When he was about to pick it up and return it to him, Sean snatched the notebook one step ahead of her, protected it behind him, and the expression on his face was very tense for a while.What......
Will she be rare with a broken book?
Deborah snorted, pulled the strap of her backpack, and walked away without looking back.Behind him, Sean opened his mouth, as if he wanted to call her to explain, but his mind was so confused and nervous that he couldn't think of anything, so he was stunned and watched Deborah climb all the way down the treehouse, and then took out her skateboard and slid all the way out of his sight.He hung his head, looked at the lyric book in his hand in frustration, and flipped through it casually.The first page is a graffiti, with Deborah's name at the center of the graffiti, surrounded by messy lines that can be seen to have been carefully designed by him rather than scribbled randomly.He turned to the second page, which was a song, but it was also like a diary, full of a boy's yearning and admiration for the girl, and the sadness when he heard that she was leaving.On the third page, the same song, the lyrics are written about a boy's nervousness before he prepares to confess, and the nervousness is conveyed smoothly through the lyrics.On the fourth page, it is still a song, but the handwriting is a little blurry in many places, and circles of tear stains are spread on the paper, smudging the pen and ink, and it is impossible to see what the lyrics are about.But Sean stayed on this page and never turned the page again.Can you still make a little more noise?
Sean said to himself mentally and slammed the lyric book shut.On the other side, Deborah paddles back home on her skateboard, nods to Nicola, who is still chatting, and goes back to her room, slamming the door shut.She decided that she would add one more person's name to the list of nasty ghosts, and that he would have to be more annoying than Jessica.Deborah pulled out a small notebook from her backpack and was about to write the name of the boy today.Huh?
Wait, what's his name?
Chapter 7 heads-up?
Matthew decided to accompany Deborah and the others to Hollywood, and his status as a lawyer allowed him to fight for more interests for his underage daughter, and he still did not trust those in power in Hollywood.But before going to Hollywood, he still had some things to attend to at the law firm, so Deborah and Nicola stayed for two more days.On this day, Deborah, who was a little bored, picked up the ice hockey equipment in her room and went to a local ice hockey rink.Almost every Canadian boy spent his childhood on the ice hockey rink, and although Deborah is not a boy, she also loves ice hockey and does not know how many times she has fallen on the ice.Of course, she's had some wins.After changing her clothes in the locker room, Deborah put on her helmet as she came out, only to hear a commotion from behind."
Is that a girl?"
The boy teased in a mocking tone, "Such a thin girl also comes to play ice hockey, and she is not afraid of being knocked off?"
”The laughter of a group of boys rang out from behind her.Deborah paused, and as she was about to paddle on the ice, she looked back at them.Four or five boys were warming up on the sidelines, but their eyes were fixed on her, apparently addressed to her.It's been a long time since I've heard something like this taunting her for being a girl.It's kind of kind.In fact, women's ice hockey has been a sport in Canada for a long time, but in the eyes of some boys, ice hockey has never been a sport that girls should play.However, such boys are a minority after all.Unexpectedly, the first ice hockey game back in Canada, I met this kind of person so coincidentally.The corners of her mouth in her helmet curled slightly, and she replied, "Really?"
”"But I don't think you're as good as a girl."
Deborah has never been a fearful person, and her experience in school since she was a child has taught her a simple truth, in the face of such verbal ridicule, you can't choose to tolerate it, because these underage children never know what is meant by moderation.Gaining an inch is what they will do, and one second they may just pay lip service, but maybe it won't be long before they can escalate this verbal bargain into physical humiliation.Therefore, she chose to provoke and fight back."
Oh Roar——!"
The companions next to the boy who had just spoken began to heckle, "David, she taunts you for not even being a girl!"
”David's face immediately darkened, "Shut up!
”He yelled at them, and then he walked up to Deborah, only to find that his gaze was just level with Deborah, and even a little lower.Damn, how did this girl grow so tall?
Deborah watched him walk in and stood up very calmly: "Come and go alone?"

”[Note 1] David's eyes were fixed on Deborah in his helmet, but he couldn't really see her face because his vision was blocked, but he was sure that that face was full of provocation at the moment, and if he didn't do it, then he would be a coward among his companions.A coward who doesn't even dare to respond to a girl's provocation.They Canadians don't speak of English gentlemen.There were several pairs of eyes staring at him, David naturally nodded without cowardice, and the moment he nodded and put on his helmet, Deborah chuckled and slid into the arena.She didn't have the brains to provoke a boy who was obviously stronger than her, Deborah actually had nine points in her mind that she could take this guy down, and the rest of the point was naturally because she hadn't touched the puck in two years.There are three most important physical qualities to play ice hockey: technique, balance, and physical strength.Balance has always been her strength, and her technique is not bad, but her physical strength is likely to be weaker than this boy's, and then there may be a slight weakness in strong physical collisions.As Deborah entered, she compared the advantages and disadvantages of both sides in her mind, and listed them clearly in her mind.The heads-up between the two quickly caught the attention of the others on the rink.From the formal rules of ice hockey, this kind of heads-up is not allowed, but they are not in the game, this kind of physical confrontation with a strong confrontation and fierce degree is the favorite of children with "middle two diseases" at this age.Because she was wearing a helmet, she was wearing similar clothes and protective gear, and Deborah's long hair was already hidden in the helmet, and the boys who had just come over didn't know that this was actually a "male and female heads-up".So, how will Deborah, who is not dominant in terms of innate physical strength, win this heads-up victory?
In addition to the fact that the ice hockey is on the ice, there are some similarities to the rules of football, for example, Deborah and David's goal is to use the hockey stick in their hands to shoot this small ice hockey pie into the opponent's goal.It's easy to say, but the skills involved are not simple.Just being able to glide smoothly and freely on the ice is a big problem for beginners.For the audience, if they don't know enough about ice hockey, then the high-speed ball conversion will also make them dazzled, and they don't know what the players are playing at all, and they can't even see when the ball was scored.It's teeing off!
Deborah swung the puckball stick violently, taking advantage of the opponent's contempt for the girls, and grabbed the ball on her side first!
It's good, she got the ball.She pursed her lips, not feeling the slightest pride in her heart, but calmly waved the hockey stick in her hand, her legs sliding up sharply on the ice, and her upper body bowed to maintain her center of gravity.Her disadvantage is defense, so she has to use her skills to attack!
She must attack first to suppress the opponent with momentum, otherwise she will not be able to hold on to the strong physical confrontation alone, resulting in the final loss of this match.David quickly reacted, the loss of the ball at the beginning was not taken to his heart, his strength and physical strength are much higher than a girl, I believe that soon this ball will be transferred to his own hands.He habitually slammed his shoulders against him.It was a reasonable collision in ice hockey, and Deborah immediately felt a huge impact coming at her, and if she didn't dodge, then she would definitely be knocked away.Deborah gritted her teeth, and suddenly made a pressing turn under her feet, dodging it.But the ball was also taken away by David.At the same time, he defiantly said a trash word and slipped backwards.Deborah didn't take his trash talk to heart at all, she slid directly towards him, her leg length advantage was reflected at this moment, the speed of the slide was faster than David, who was sliding backwards, and before he finished his next trash talk, the ice hockey stick in his hand was hooked, and the ball was converted again!
I saw her stop abruptly on the spot, and suddenly started in another direction, and slid away with the ball without looking back!
F*ck!
David was stunned for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly caught up, but it was too late at this time, Deborah had already brought the ball into the attack zone and shot with lightning speed!
It's a beautiful attacking stance, and the arc of her swing is perfectly curved, and the ball on the ice is fast and accurate towards the goal!
Entered!
This was just a goal that happened in just a few tens of seconds, but it was dizzying to watch, and the cheers of the whole audience suddenly rang out, and the roars of many boys came from the audience, shouting that David's whole face under the helmet turned red.Sean jumped excitedly on the spot with his friends, cheering for the "young man" who scored the goal: "What do I say!"
That annoying David will definitely lose!
”It turned out that this David's bad reputation at the ice hockey rink had long been known to everyone in the surrounding area.Hardly anyone wants to play with him, just because he has so much trash talk that he wants to throw away his club and reach out and beat him.Today they heard that David was going to fight a new "boy", so they hurriedly ran over to cheer for this "boy".At this point, the heads-up was just beginning.Ten minutes of confrontation may not seem like a long time, but in fact, for the ice hockey "heads-up" with fierce body collisions, this is already the limit of Deborah.Therefore, she must take advantage of the first few minutes to ensure that the physical strength in the later stage gradually cannot keep up, and the disadvantage after that will not be taken advantage of by David to turn around.In fact, the first seven minutes went exactly as Deborah expected, and she was already in the lead, even if David had already put away his contempt and took it seriously, but the lack of skill and balance made him fall to the ice from time to time by the nimble Deborah.Goal.It's in again!
David's goal is punched through!
The cheers grew louder and louder, but Deborah noticed that her thighs and calves were gradually starting to tremble.Oops.It seems that her lack of regular practice has sounded the red alarm.Deborah gritted her teeth and gasped heavily, the hockey stick in her hand trembling slightly.Sean, who was close to the sidelines, immediately noticed her abnormality, and his excited eyes suddenly became worried, and he couldn't help but look at the score and time.At this time, the score was 5:1, and Deborah was four points ahead of David, so it stands to reason that it should be basically impossible to be overturned.But what if the physical strength of the leading side is no longer enough to support her to finish the fight, which is less than 3 minutes left?
The situation on the field was almost instantaneously reversed by a hundred and eighty degrees.Chapter 8: The sidelines become quiet.There was only one minute left before the heads-up end, and the score was almost level at this point.At 5:4, although Deborah still led by one point, after just two minutes of confrontation, everyone could see that Deborah's physical strength had been exhausted and could barely defend against David's attack.And David's best thing is body collisions, Deborah's legs are too physical to dodge like before, and she was almost knocked out several times.Every goal David scored was forced to attack, although he was a little weaker in terms of skill, but in the face of Deborah, who was no longer flexible, forcing a surprise was the best way for him to score.In this way, he scored three goals in a row and instantly tightened the score on the field.Once again, his trash talk came at Deborah defiantly.Deborah's hair in her helmet was soaked, and she gritted her teeth from the ice, ready to snatch the ball from his hands once more.She had wrongly overestimated her physical strength, but she definitely didn't want to lose this heads-up.It's one thing to lose face, it's another thing to lose to this foul-mouthed scumbag in front of you!
As soon as the stubborn bull temper came up, the feeling of soreness and trembling all over the body seemed to have weakened a lot, and Deborah stepped forward with her long legs towards the ball under David's ice hockey stick, and the sudden acceleration made David quickly slide upside down with the ball.Immediately afterwards, David's body entered the attack zone one step ahead of the ball."
Offside!
David, he's offside!
”Sean clutched the guardrail tightly and shouted, and the little friends next to him also shouted.However, the reality is that this kind of heads-up is not a regular game, even if David violated the rules, the referee did not call a stop, let alone take the ball back to the central scrum and start the game again.David defiantly fired the ball into Deborah's goal.At 5:5, the score was tied.At this time, there is only half a minute left before the end of the 10-minute heads-up battle.Deborah's eyes were fixed on the score, and the intensity and tension made her breathless, but the uncomfortable feeling of suffocation made her brain clearer than ever.There is only one mode of David, although it is rigid, but it is very effective against her physical exhaustion at this time, and now there is only half a minute left for herself, what can she do?
Offensive.It was her only option.But looking at her lead-filled thighs, Deborah only had one offensive plan left in her mind - ejection.In fact, Deborah's success rate in the past was half and half, and the practice was not particularly good, but this technique is more subtle than other offensive techniques, and the range of action is small, David must not be able to detect it, and he will not be able to stop her attack.With an idea in mind, Deborah calmed down, she first snatched the ball back from under David's club, and then explosively picked up speed to bring the ball into the attacking zone, David followed closely behind and was ready to intercept the ball under her stick - a sudden stop, Deborah suddenly turned and took the ball out of his sight again, and then she quickly slid towards the goal, her hands increasing as she skated - at this point David did not see that she was about to shoot, but immediately turned to follow, trying to block her path.At this moment, Deborah suddenly flexed her wrists and made a forceful movement with both hands!
The little pie was quickly bounced out by the rod in Deborah's hand, and it was headed in the direction of the goal!
David reacted at this time that Deborah was too late to shoot, and he watched as the ball flew right in front of his eyes.You have to go in......
Sean and his friends on the sidelines were all hanging in their hearts, staring at the ball cake that was so fast that it had almost turned into a phantom.Deborah's eyes fell on that one as well, but her touch told her that the ball probably wouldn't go in.She's crooked a little, and that little distance will lead to a world of different consequences.So she didn't stay where she was, but quickly quickened her pace and made up for it when the ball was about to pass by the goal!
Entered!
The cheers of the audience suddenly rose, and Sean jumped up on the spot, hugging his friends to celebrate.The referee blew the final whistle and Deborah threw her hands in the air to celebrate her victory with a quick full-court slide, smiling and sliding all the way to high-five at the sight of the hand that kept reaching for her from the sidelines.But David threw the hockey stick on the ground, flipped out of the field with both hands, angrily raised the middle finger at the friends who were crowding over, and left the place.Deborah, who was celebrating, naturally didn't notice this, so she took off her helmet at this time, revealing the smiling face wet with sweat inside.She took off her helmet with some force, and involuntarily brought the leather bands that coiled her hair inside, and the long golden hair, like a waterfall, fell down the back of her head and slid down on her shoulders and chest.Her light green eyes were very shining, her fair complexion was almost the same color as the ice surface, her high nose bridge, slightly upturned lips, and even though there were some messy strands of hair sticking to her smooth forehead, she was like a fairy descending to earth, and she had a stunning beauty.The impact made everyone breathe.…… Female, female?
Many people's eyes widened, and the incredulity filled their minds, and they were speechless with surprise.She actually beat David with ice hockey?
Sean was cheering happily, but when he noticed the familiar face and blonde hair, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened for a moment.Dai, Deborah?
Deborah didn't notice Sean in the crowd, she reached out and wiped the sweat from her head, the excitement still lingering in her eyes, and she couldn't help but hug the boy who was looking at her with shining eyes from the sidelines.She's so cool!
She looks so pretty!
The little boys who had been hugged by her couldn't help but blush, but they became shy and shy one by one, and closed their mouths nervously.Sean's face darkened visibly.Without even saying hello to his friends, he snorted, picked up his hockey shoes and hockey knives and turned away.Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, heheda, scumbag.Deborah, who was still excited, soon made such a group of new friends, including Sean's friends, and after coming into contact with Deborah up close, they suddenly felt that she was a little familiar."
It's weird, I always feel like I've seen you somewhere before......"
Sean's friend Jon scratched his head, but couldn't remember where he had seen her."
It's not strange."
Deborah smiled, "I used to live here and study here, but I just studied abroad for the past two years. ”Study Abroad?
Jon slapped his thigh and immediately remembered.Isn't this the goddess who Sean confessed to failure?
Jon turned his head to look at Sean, only to find that there was no one behind him."......" was speechless to find that Sean had released their pigeons again, Jon and his party, said hello to Deborah and left the rink first, they knew Sean's character, he must be sulking in some corner at this time.If they don't make him happy, maybe his anger will last for a whole week, and at that time, the low-pressure Sean is comparable to the big demon king, and it is really difficult to get the first person.Not only is it difficult, but it also explodes at all.Thinking of that scene, they couldn't help but shudder, and even quickened the pace of their feet.Chapter 9 Deborah, who was still playing at the ice hockey rink the day before, had just made a group of new friends, so she had to rush to Hollywood with Matthew the next day, and the date for the second round of auditions was finally set, which was an early morning three days later.Nicola was not together this time, she received an important invitation to a photography exhibition, and after a brief farewell to father and daughter, she flew back to London overnight.When the plane carrying Deborah and Matthew first arrived in Los Angeles, it was still night, and they didn't have time to go to Hollywood as a tourist, so they had to go directly to the local hotel to check in.Deborah woke up early the next day, woke up Matthew who was still asleep with an excited face, dragged him out of bed, and whispered to him to take him to the Hollywood he was thinking about.Well, Matthew, who originally thought he could get the perfect vacation, was urged by his hapless daughter to finally get dressed and washed, and was pulled out of the door in a hurry.In this regard, if Nicola was here, she would have to complain about his "naivety".It's all in Hollywood, the holy land of Deborah's heart, can she not get up early and toss the adults excitedly?
Surely not.If it weren't for the invitation to a photo exhibition, Nicola wouldn't have thought of a way to get out of it, so as not to be poisoned by the bear child.Don't say that Deborah is not a bear, if she is not a bear, she would not have boldly run away from home at the age of 12, and even crossed half the world.Los Angeles is known as the "City of Angels", and its Mediterranean climate makes it a place that bathes in lazy warmth all year round, which is perhaps one of the reasons why the locals are filled with sunshine and laughter every day.But Matthew didn't like the city with an overly nice climate.He prefers Toronto, where there are four distinct seasons, each with its own characteristics, unlike here, where each season looks like spring.It's so boring.But Deborah loved the sunshine here.Although she was born in France, she actually spent the most time in Toronto and London, where the sunshine was not as long and warm as Los Angeles.And here, letting the sun pour on her skin, Deborah closed her eyes comfortably and smiled involuntarily."
It was a great day."
