This salary clearance made Edison deeply feel his own insignificance. In this materialistic society, money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.
Although Edison also wanted to make a lot of money and made a comeback for this purpose, he did not succeed.
No matter how he said it, after clearing the team's contract, Edison finally breathed a sigh of relief and took some time off. The training camp for the new season will not start until October, and it will take mid-September for Edison to return to work.
It was only mid-July, so Edison got 2 months off.
So Edison returned home first, had a good reunion with his family, and felt the warmth of the family.
Then I went to China and confirmed a very critical issue.
Wang Ziqiang has become Paul Edison in 2014, so what about Wang Ziqiang in 2004?
With this question in mind, Edison came to China and the home in his memory. Edison didn't know what mood he was in at that time. What was his state? Excitement, excitement, anxiety, fear, joy, etc. were mixed together, but in the end he got
There is only one emotion - loss.
There is no Wang Ziqiang, not even Wang Ziqiang's parents. Wang Ziqiang's grandparents never gave birth to Wang Ziqiang's parents, which means that Wang Ziqiang cannot exist in this time and space.
After getting this answer, although Edison felt disappointed in his heart, he also gained a kind of relief. He no longer had to worry about his previous parents. As for other relatives, Tianchao is happy and they are all living well.
Don't scare them anymore.
Edison returned to Orlando and began to fulfill Edison's family responsibilities, respecting and loving each other with his current parents. Edison's parents also gave Edison pure family warmth, allowing Edison to find a harbor for his soul and a destination for his soul.
There is a saying that "food, clothing, food and clothing", in this peaceful place, Edison's heart was moved, more specifically, he was moved by the heart of spring. After all, Edison was already 30 and did not have a girlfriend, so it was human nature to feel the heart of spring.
.
Then Edison thought of a pair of brown eyes, long reddish-brown hair, and a beautiful girl named Annie.
"I wonder how Annie is doing now?" Edison asked himself, then turned on the computer and checked the behind-the-scenes of the Fantastic Four filming to see if there was anything about Annie's current situation. But when Edison opened the webpage, he was shocked.
The homepage of the website is a huge promotional poster. The poster is divided into five parts vertically. Mister Fantastic, Human Torch, The Rock, Doctor Doom and Invisible Woman are posing in poses, each occupying a part, and the actor of Invisible Woman is impressive.
It's Jessica Alba.
Where is the promised heroine? Where is Anne? Is she cheating?
Edison immediately dialed Anne's phone number.
There was a "beep" sound from the phone.
"Don't worry, please answer the phone quickly. Annie, please answer the phone quickly." Concern leads to chaos, and now Edison has lost his usual calmness and rationality.
"hello,..."
"Annie, it's me, I'm Paul Edison." Before the other party could speak, Edison anxiously interrupted. Out of excessive concern, Edison at this time had no grace.
"Hi, Paul, why did you remember to call me today?" Anne's voice was as calm as ever, flowing through Edison's heart like spring water, making Edison calm down.
"Actually, I want to ask. I just saw the news about "Fantastic Four"..." Although Edison was calm and eloquent on the basketball court and at the negotiation table, at this time Edison was at a loss for words and didn't know.
What to say.
"Ah, you finally know. It seems that you don't care about me at all. It's been more than two months since it happened." Anne said casually, but Edison still felt a hint of melancholy...
"Where are you now? I mean... I can go and stay with you. Of course, if you are okay, actually... I don't know what to say." Edison said hesitantly. Edison never had a girlfriend in his previous life.
, I have absolutely no experience in this area, and I don’t know how to make girls happy.
Edison is now like a virgin who confesses her love to a goddess. She feels uneasy and doesn't know how the other party will answer her, but if she turns against him, he won't even be friends in the future.
"Okay, it just so happens that I have time now. You are in Orlando, so I will go to Orlando tomorrow, just in time to relax." Anne's hearty laughter came from the phone.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come. I will arrange the itinerary and let you enjoy the scenery of Orlando."
The next day, Edison dressed up energetically, put on a suit and tie, and with a height of 183cm, a strong figure due to years of exercise, and platinum-blond hair reflecting the brilliance of the sun, it made people look...
My eyes lit up when I saw it. As a result, I came back after going out. It is July now. If I go out wearing this outfit, I will really have a heat stroke.
I had no choice but to come back and tidy up again. This time I put on a T-shirt with a classic smile pattern, and then carefully combed my hair. In fact, my hair was already very neat, but Edison still combed the small amount of hair over and over like an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is located in the southeast corner of the city and is the largest airport in Central Florida. Despite the small population of this city, the city's airport is very luxurious. It has 6 floors, an airport subway, and 129 boarding gates.
n stores about Disney World in Orlando. And there are flights from almost all major airlines, as well as charter flights and discount routes. Orlando Airport has the second most passenger routes in the United States, only Atlanta. If you are going to Florida packages
, the final stop is inevitably Orlando.
Edison met Annie in the lobby. Annie was as sweet as ever, and she still felt like a big girl next door. After seeing Edison, she waved excitedly, then pulled her suitcase and ran all the way to Edison. He was 165cm tall.
Wearing flat shoes, she had to raise her head to look at Edison, "Are you here to pick someone up?"
Edison looked at Annie, and Annie also looked at him with her head slightly raised. She smiled happily, and her two sweet dimples gave her a fresh feeling, making people want to get close to her from the bottom of their hearts.
"Sorry, I'm not here to pick you up, I'm here to drink coffee." Edison spread his hands with a sorry, I don't know you expression on his face.
Then the two of them bent over and laughed, very heartlessly.
After laughing, the two people suddenly calmed down. From unbridled indulgence to calm restraint, the two people were in amazing synchrony and had a special tacit understanding with each other.
Edison looked at Anne quietly. Anne's smile was still so sweet, her hands were still like catkins, her skin was like gelatin, and her body still exuded an elegant and intellectual temperament. But compared with last time, Anne's expression became darker and darker.
, the gloominess in his eyes also became serious.
This made Edison's heart tighten, as if someone had squeezed him hard, and it hurt his soul.
The two people just looked at each other, each had a thousand words to say but no one said it out loud. In the end, Edison took a deep breath and broke the deadlock.
"Okay, then, when we get to Orlando this time, relax, enjoy the fun, and put aside all the unhappy things. According to my arrangement, let's go to the hotel to put down our luggage first, and then today
Let’s just wander around for a while, then we’ll go to Disneyland tomorrow.”
"Okay, it's all up to you." Annie responded happily, and then let out a silver bell-like laugh.
After putting down their luggage at the hotel, the two of them wandered aimlessly on a commercial street. This is a very prosperous commercial pedestrian street. There are various clothing stores, restaurants and cafes on both sides of the street. Of course, the most popular ones are Disney-related cartoons.
In a toy store, two people walked side by side. The man was handsome and the woman was elegant. They became a beautiful scenery, attracting passers-by on both sides to look at them...
Edison looked sideways at Annie and said, "Guess what I'm thinking about now?"
Annie looked up at Edison and shrugged her shoulders, "I can't guess your thoughts. Your way of thinking is too divergent. Just like your basketball, it's all jumping."
"Nowhere, but I was thinking just now, why don't two bullies come out and kidnap you, so that I can be a hero to save the beauty." Edison touched his head, his face was completely devoid of his usual shrewdness, but full of honesty.
"You still say you won't jump. How can ordinary people think so?" Annie covered her mouth and laughed.
But not to mention, two people actually walked over from the opposite side, and they went straight to Anne...
"Buy a pack of chocolate biscuits to help the children who have no food to eat." Two little boy scouts pulled a small car and stopped in front of them. The two little girls were only about 8 or 9 years old, and they were only about 130cm tall.
They were as carved as jade. The two people looked up at Edison and Annie, their big eyes sparkling, their little faces flushed from pulling the car for a long time, and sweat condensed on their hair.
Seeing that both of them were motionless, one of the children said to Edison crisply, "Sir, buy a pack of chocolate biscuits for your girlfriend, and at the same time help the hungry children." After saying this, the other child quickly turned his attention to Edison.
Dickson's eyes seemed to say "please".
Hearing the boy scout say that Annie was his girlfriend, the two of them looked at each other first, and then looked at each other with a slightly embarrassed smile. Then Annie quickly squatted down, touched the child's head and said, "Kids, you sold today.
How much?"
The two children said in unison, "It's already 40 US dollars. Buy a pack for only 2 US dollars and you can help children who have no food. The cookies are delicious."
Edison quickly took out his wallet, bought two packages, and then touched the child's head lovingly. The two little boy scouts were also satisfied and pulled the car away happily.
Edison and Annie each held a pack of biscuits. Thinking about the childlike words of the two children, they completely opened up the little restraint that still existed and let go of each other's hearts. Edison took the lead.
Anne's hand.
When the two were walking again, Annie's arm was slung over Addison's arm, and her head rested on Edison's shoulder.
Marriage may be complicated, but love must be simple. Two people support each other when they are in trouble, share each other when they are happy, and care about each other. When one person is in pain, the other person can feel the same. It is actually that simple. There is nothing. Mutual dedication is not like
It's math, greater than, less than, and equal don't apply here.
Annie looked at the flowing clouds in the sky and said calmly: "Why didn't you ask about the Fantastic Four? You were very anxious on the phone that day?"
Edison came back to his senses with an "Oh", "Indeed, I was really anxious at that time. Because I really care about you. I originally thought that I would ask you crazily to ask you the whole story. But when I saw you at the airport
When I saw you, I saw the sadness in your eyes, and I couldn't bear to uncover this scar. I couldn't bear to let you be hurt again just because of my personal curiosity."
"Of course, if you think it's okay, I'm willing to listen to what you want to say, and I also hope to share your pain." Edison held Annie's shoulders and spoke affectionately, and Annie could feel it through his eyes.
to his sincerity.
"Actually, it's not as serious as you said. Things like this happen every day in our circle, and anyone may encounter it." Annie lowered her head and kicked the pebbles on the road, her tone without resentment.
There was a sense of helplessness in the calmness.
The two of them found a coffee shop and sat down. The sun had already set. The lights in the coffee shop were not bright, but the lights were well-proportioned. With the blues playing in the shop, everything was so quiet and stylish. The two of them found
He sat down in a corner and ordered two cups of coffee. Edison thoughtfully added candy to Annie. The air was filled with the taste of love...
"As I told you before, I was already confirmed to play the role of the Invisible Woman, and director Tim Story was very satisfied with me. Originally, we were told that we would sign the contract when the producer came back in April, but we waited until April
, when I came to the set again, everything had changed. The director told me that the producers and investors were not satisfied with my image, and they thought I was not sexy enough. They chose Jessica Alba,
And I was eliminated." Although more than three months had passed, when Annie mentioned this matter, she suddenly softened. Although she had been trying to keep a calm tone when talking about this matter, she said
In the end, I was still a little choked up and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
This kind of state of pear blossoms and rain is really sad for everyone who hears it and sheds tears for seeing it. Edison couldn't bear this the most. When Annie cried, Edison's heart was broken. He was at a loss and could only stupidly pass a tissue to Annie.
Annie wiped her tears and forced a smile and said, "Really, it's been a long time. I thought I didn't care anymore, but I didn't expect that I still cried while saying it. It's so embarrassing. All the makeup is gone, I must be ugly."
."
"How could it be? You are the most beautiful in my heart. It's okay. You can cry if you want here. I'll see who dares to laugh at you." Edison looked at Anne and said some irrelevant words to make her happy.
"Am I really that beautiful?" Women all love to hear compliments, and even Anne, who seems to be very intellectual, is no exception. She knows exactly what the other person's answer is, but she still asks, just because she wants to hear that answer.
"Of course, you are the most beautiful." Edison swore covering his heart.
"Then who is more important, me or basketball?" Anne suddenly asked such a question, and then her eyes widened, staring into Edison's eyes.
Women always like to make trouble unreasonably, mostly because they care about men, have requirements, expectations, and disappointments from men. Therefore, even in a peaceful life, they will intentionally or unintentionally create a little tension to test the weight of a man's love for her.
.
Women in love are even more exaggerated. They always ask men to do a proof question repeatedly and use all available information to prove that you don't love her. If the answer you give her is yes, then he will look for an opportunity to come again next time.
Test you. If the answer you give is no, it would be hilarious. I believe no man can figure out what they are tirelessly seeking. But if you ask women, they will definitely answer you "To prove
"You really love me and care about me", but the problem is that I have proven it, and you are still not satisfied and insist on finding that bad answer.
Woman, what do you want?
Anne is also a woman, and she is a smart woman. If such a woman wants to embarrass a man, it will really be a man's nightmare.
When Edison heard this question, he was immediately confused. His heart was like ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past, and his facial muscles began to twitch unnaturally.
Edison covered his face with one hand and looked up at Anne. Anne was still staring at him with wide eyes.
If he were a master of picking up girls, he would definitely answer without changing his face or heartbeat: "You are more important." But Edison couldn't do it, and he also knew that even if he said that, Annie might not believe it. So he could only bite the bullet and pull it off.
Nonsense answer.
"I really don't know. After so many years, basketball has become one with me. It can be said that my heart is basketball. But you are really important to me. I can't say that I fell in love with you from the first sight.
You, but when I noticed it, I couldn't lose you anymore, I was willing to give my own life for you."
"Why didn't you fall in love with me at first sight?" Annie asked.
"Because...because, because you were wearing sunglasses, yes, you were wearing sunglasses, I don't even know what you looked like." Two questions were asked in succession. Even though it was summer, Edison was still sweating.
.….
"You're honest." Annie smiled narrowly, like a child who had just stolen candy. Edison looked at the black line at one end and thought to himself, "You are so fucking stupid."
"But you are the only one who says I'm beautiful. They don't think so. They think I'm far different from others. Otherwise, why didn't you choose me to shoot?" Annie suddenly became passive again, lying on the table with her mouth bulging, looking at it boredly.
My own reflection in the window.
Edison went crazy and thought: "Sister, is it my thinking that jumps or yours that jumps?"
"The fact that they didn't choose you means they have no vision. Are you still worried that no one will ask you to make a movie? If it doesn't work out, we can make it ourselves." Edison also lay on the table, keeping his and Annie's eyes at the same level, and then comforted her.
.
"Okay, as you said, let's make the movie ourselves. You have to do what you say." Annie suddenly became serious again.
Edison almost cried, "Sister, the chicken has eaten the eagle. When I say this, you can accept it as soon as you hear it. Don't take it seriously." But he said it himself, even if it really doesn't work, he will do it.
Looks like this. Otherwise, if he had lied to Anne about the first thing he promised her, then the development momentum of the two of them would really be at an end.
The next day, Edison took Annie to visit the most famous Disneyland in Orlando.
Orlando Disney World is the largest Disney theme park in the world, with a total area of 124 square kilometers, about 15 times the area of Singapore. The total investment has reached US$766 million, and it is still being continuously improved and updated. Since its opening in October 1971,
It receives approximately 12 million tourists every year.
The savvy Mickey Mouse, the honest Donald Duck, the funny Guffy dog, Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs and other cartoon characters are also full of childishness. All these innocent dreams directly contributed to the revival of Anne's childlike innocence and her joy in playing.
Especially when she saw the pink dress of Sleeping Beauty Princess Aurora, Edison could almost see the stars in her eyes.
"Every woman has had a pink princess dream. Baidu will never deceive me." Edison was filled with emotion when he saw Annie's sudden lower IQ and juvenile behavior.
There are flowers in the princess's dream, a pink lace dress with a big skirt, and a prince riding a white horse, but I don't know if the prince in Anne's dream is herself.
But then Edison discovered that Anne's state was just the beginning.
Soon they moved to the famous double-decker carousel. The huge carousel and the shiny and beautifully decorated wooden horses floated up and down amidst the melodious and cheerful music. It is the least noticeable corner of the ever-changing amusement park.
He is as simple and solemn as an old man. In the bustling and noisy surroundings, he is not overshadowed; in the boiling and restless audio-visual spectacle brought by modern fashion, his rough life is not overshadowed. When the mottled light and shadow fall on the carousel
On the body, it rotates slowly like an old record, the silence is permeated with hints of love, and the indifference hides everyone's beautiful yearning for childhood.
Although Edison didn't know what to do with this thing, Annie never tired of it and pulled Edison to sit around and around.
Well, "Every girl has a carousel dream".
(P.S., when I was writing this, I asked a friend, "What kind of dreams do men have?" My friend replied, "Every man has a dream about Teacher Cang. Although we have never entered your body, you have
Entered our souls." After hearing this answer, my heart was like ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past.)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the parade of cartoon characters began. Visitors gathered on both sides of the main road of the park. Edison and Annie were involved in the crowd. Edison opened his arms to protect Annie, but Annie was indeed like a curious baby.
Look around, look excited...
Seeing Annie, who was lively and hilarious, taking photos with various cartoon characters while holding 5 balls of ice cream, Edison was filled with comfort, and said to himself, "I hope that the happy city of Orlando can make her forget her sadness."
"At the same time, it also made her forget about letting herself make movies." Perhaps this is Anderson's biggest wish.
But nine times out of ten things go wrong in life. Edison was too good at basketball, so God planned to play tricks on him emotionally.
When the two of them broke up at night, Annie suddenly said, "Don't forget about making a movie. I want to listen to your plan tomorrow!"
When Edison heard this, he staggered. The horse in his heart galloped again, and then he had the urge to drive directly into Spring Lake Lake.
When problems appear in front of them, some people choose to escape and shrink away. Such people will definitely do nothing in the end. Some people choose to shirk and choose to transfer. Such people may gain power for a while, but they will eventually be swept away by time.
to the corner of history. Some people choose to face difficulties and stand up. The path of such people must be full of thorns and extremely difficult, but as long as they persevere, they will eventually succeed and become the strong men of the times.
It even made a mark in history.
Edison was such a person. He knew that escaping was useless, so he immediately began to think of ideas and ways to solve the problem in front of him.
Of course, the most important reason why Edison faced the difficulties may still be that he had no choice but to avoid it. He had already promised to Annie. If he hid at this time, Annie would probably fly away. So no matter how difficult and dangerous the future was, he could only
Bite the bullet.
For a time, "the wind was rustling and the water was cold."

————————————Invincible dividing line————————
This is a big chapter, but I really can’t break it down, it’s too coherent. In the future, I will finish it in one update. Before, I was thinking of two updates, and the big chapters should be separated, which caused my thoughts to be intermittent.
