Edward Bloom dipped his head in the fountain and changed into new clothes.
He was finally going to meet the girl of his dreams who he fell in love with at first sight.
Her name is Sandra!
Edward stood in front of a half-open door holding a large bouquet of daffodils.
He knows that she likes daffodils! This is what the head of the werewolf circus told him!
Through the crack in the door, you can see a girl talking quietly to another girl. The person she is talking to is not visible outside.
After the conversation, the door opened, and the girl Edward had longed for, Sandra Kaye Templeton, was standing in front of the door. She was so beautiful, as simple and pure as sunshine.
Edward couldn't believe that he had found this girl. His smile was stiff and nervous, which made the girl feel funny and didn't expect what would happen.
Edward looked at her and plucked up the courage to say: "You don't know me, my name is Edward Bloom, and I have fallen in love with you. In the past three years, I have worked non-stop just to find out who you are."
.I've been shot with bullets, stabbed with knives, stepped on, and had my ribs broken twice, but now that I can see you here and talk to you, it's all worth it. From meeting you at the circus.
From the first moment I saw you, I knew I was destined to marry you. Now, I am more sure of this than ever."
Sandra was at a loss, and in the end she just came up with one sentence...
"I'm very sorry."
Edward said quickly: "You don't need to apologize. I mean, I am the luckiest person."
She put her left hand on the doorframe, and the camera slowly took a close-up of her left hand, allowing people to see a diamond ring on her left ring finger.
Edward's heart kept falling. He tried hard to control his emotions and face the harsh facts bravely.
Sandra looked at him and said, "You are wrong. I know you, or at least have heard of you, as Edward Bloom from Ashton. My fiancé is also from Ashton, his name is Don.
Price, how many years older than you."
This result, it can be said, was unexpected by many people!
Why? Because they are familiar with this name!
Isn’t that the background board?
Remember the one in the group of people who went to that gloomy old house in the story Edward told?
The camera turned, and Don Price Jr. was shining a flashlight on Edward.
It was during that time that I went on an adventure to the old house to meet the witch.
The climax of several sports games in high school. Whether it was football, baseball or basketball, Edward defeated Don Price every time.
Also at the science fair, when Edward got the trophy, Don Price left the show angrily.
The camera pans back again to see Edward and Carl leaving, with Don Price stamping out the cigarette butts in the background.
He won every time, but why did he lose completely all of a sudden?
Edward was stunned, and he gathered all his strength...
Blessings with some pretense of calmness: "Congratulations, sorry to bother you."
He turned and walked down the steps.
Sandra was still standing at the door, feeling extremely uncomfortable. After a while, she entered the room, and the giggles of the girls could be heard in the room.
Sandra was a little angry: "Stop making trouble, this is not funny. That boy is quite pitiful."
When Edward left, tears almost fell.
Edward's voiceover sounded: "Sometimes fate is cruel. After leaving Ashton, I went through so many hardships, and the girl I love is now engaged to the stupidest person in Ashton."
He left the screen, leaving only the girls' dormitory building in the background.
Edward's voice-over: "Sometimes, a man needs to fight; sometimes, he needs to accept the fate of failure. The ship has sailed, and only fools will continue to wait."
Edward walked into the frame again and looked at the dormitory building.
"The truth is, I've always been a fool."
The screen rotated and Edward shouted: "Sandra Templeton! I love you! I want to marry you!"
In the girls' dormitory, Sandra and her sisters opened the curtains and looked outside. Is that guy crazy?
The economics professor was giving a lecture, but Sandra didn't listen carefully.
The professor turned on the slide projector without looking at the slides. The students laughed secretly, and the professor didn't pay attention.
A classmate nudged Sandra and she looked up. The slide said "I love Sandra Templeton". Sandra was surprised and happy. The professor finally saw what was on the slide.
Sandra walked on campus holding her textbooks, shaking her head in disbelief, and looked up at the blue sky. The clouds in the sky formed a heart-shaped pattern.
In the dormitory building, at the urging of her sisters, Sandra, who had just woken up, looked out from the second-story window and found that the lawn was filled with daffodils, a total of ten thousand. Edward stood in the sea of flowers.
I have been waiting there for six hours.
Sandra walked to the front of the building, with a smile on her face. She was embarrassed, happy, and a little scared. All the classmates came here to watch this scene.
Sandra: "Daffodils?"
Edward: "It's your favorite flower."
Sandra wondered: "How did you get so many flowers?"
"I called florists in five states and explained to them that this was the only way I could get a wife," Edwards said.
A tear slipped from Sandra's cheek and she wiped it away.
Sandra's eyes turned red: "You don't even know me."
Edward said seriously: "I would like to spend my whole life getting to know you."
But at this moment, a man's voice came: "Sandra!"
Sandra said to Edward: "He is Don Price. Promise me not to hurt him."
Edward solemnly said: "I will obey your orders."
As an adult, Don Price weighed 230 pounds and was muscular. His brothers followed him.
Don Price also saw Edward and recognized him: "Bloom!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Edward: "Don."
Don Price was furious: "What the hell are you doing? She's my woman, she's mine."
Edward shook his head: "She doesn't belong to anyone."
Don Price knocked him down. Edward was angry but did not fight back. Don Price hit him hard with his fist again.
Sandra yelled, "Stop!"
Don Price refused to listen: "What's the matter, Bloom? Are you too afraid to fight back?"
Edward kept his promise: "I promised not to hit you."
Don Price shrugged and continued beating Edward.
Edward's voiceover sounded: "I have never been so beaten in my life, but in the end, Don Price was defeated."
The camera cuts to Don Price sitting on the toilet and defecating while reading Playboy magazine.
Edward's voiceover sounded: "His congenital heart valve disease was aggravated by excessive exertion. In short, his heart was not strong enough."
Don Price squeezed hard. Suddenly, he grabbed his chest and fell face first to the ground.
"puff!"
There was a burst of laughter in the internal screening room.
They all remembered the scene inside the witch's eyeballs, and sure enough, the scene quickly flashed back to that time.
The glass eyes reflected the same scene as when Don Price died.
This way of death is indeed too weird, but it makes people want to laugh inexplicably.
Back in front of the female dormitory building of the university.
Don Price was still beating Edward. Edward tried to stand up, but was knocked down again.
Sandra yelled, "Don!"
Don Price turned his head. Sandra took off her engagement ring, and her sisters said "aha" and Don's brothers said "ohhh."
Sandra said loudly: "I will not marry you."
Don Price stood stunned, his mind in confusion.
Edward's eyes were swollen like buns, waiting for another punch. Where was he? What happened?
Don Price was in disbelief: "What, you love this kid?"
Sandra: "He's almost a stranger to me. But I'd rather choose him than you."
She returned the ring to Don. Don punched Edward again before leaving angrily.
Sandra leaned against Edward's bruised body, his head resting on the daffodils.
Sandra looked at him: "How can I make you stop?"
Edward also looked at her: "Come with me."
He smiled, his teeth bleeding.
Sandra also smiled: "Okay."
The onlookers applauded and cheered, and the camera rose up to take a bird's-eye view of the battlefield made of flowers.
Edward's voiceover sounded: "As a result, Sandra's wedding date has not changed, but the groom has changed."
The camera returned to the present, and it was clear that what had just happened was Edward telling Joseph the story of him and Sandra.
Josephine asked curiously: I remember you said that you didn't hold your wedding in the church."
Edward nodded: "Well, we are all ready, but a new problem has arisen."
He reached for a glass of water, and Josephine handed it to him. He slowly drank a whole glass of water, seemingly very thirsty.
Will came back from the grocery store and came upstairs. He heard voices in the guest room.
Josephine: "Are you feeling thirsty after taking the medicine?"
Edward: "Actually, I feel thirsty all the time. I don't know why."
Will walked to the door quietly, not sneakily, but he didn't want to disturb the people in the room. The door opened a crack, and Will looked inside.
In the room, Edward continued to tell the unfinished story: "When I was 11 years old, once..."
Josephine gently reminded: "You were talking about your wedding."
Edward: "I didn't forget, I just digressed suddenly. Look, most men like to be straightforward when telling stories. Although it is not complicated, it is also very boring."
Josephine smiled: "I like your story."
Edward also laughed: "I like you too."
He didn't want to let this moment linger, lest he get sentimental, there was a story to tell.
Edward finally returned to the topic: "Working for the circus has no permanent address. After a few years, I received a lot of undelivered letters."
In the aisle, Will changed his position, and he would listen to the story again.
Just listen to Edward continue: "I lay in the hospital for four weeks, and finally the postmaster caught up with me."
In the hospital ward, Edward, who had a bruised nose and face, was wrapped in bandages and sorting out a large bag of letters with Sandra's help. He tore open an official letter and his face sank after reading it.
Military music played by flutes and drums sounded.
Edward was drafted into the army and went to war.
Here Li Yi changed the background of the original version to the background of the Vietnam War.
Edward and a dozen other paratroopers were squatting in the cabin. The noise of the engine was deafening, but Edward was concentrating on reading an Asian phrasebook.
Edward's voiceover: "The average service time in the army is three years, but I can't wait that long. I won't be able to live without Sandra. So, I volunteer to perform all dangerous tasks, hoping to shorten my service period."
Within one year.”
Skydiving commander: "Jump! Jump! Jump!"
The paratroopers jumped off one by one. It was Edward's turn, but his parachute rope was hooked, and he couldn't get free no matter how much he twisted. He looked down and saw that his companions had gone away. Finally, he stepped out of the bag.
He took out a knife and cut the rope. There was only a "pop" sound, and Edward jumped out of the plane.
Sandra checked the letters, hoping to hear from Edward.
Edward's voice sounded: "I was trapped during the mission and could not return to the team on time. Unfortunately, I cannot send a message to the country."
A black car stopped and two officers got out.
"So it's not surprising at all that the army was convinced I was dead."
Sandra cried so sadly when she heard the bad news that her painful screams made the church bells ring.
Sandra hung sheets on the clothesline, forming a channel of drying fabric.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Four months later, Sandra no longer has nightmares. When the phone rings, she no longer thinks it is me calling. When the car passes by
, she won’t run to the window and look around.”
Sandra took out a skirt from the basket and looked up to see a man's silhouette reflected on the sheets in front of her. Sandra was stunned, watching the shadow move among the fabrics that were gently blown by the breeze. She
Knowing it couldn't be him, he was already dead.
She turned away, tried her best to restrain herself, continued to dry the clothes, and took out another item from the basket.
When she raised her head, she saw no longer a shadow, but a living Edward standing in front of her. She gasped, as if she couldn't believe it. But his hands were hot, this was fate.
Sandra kissed him without hesitation.
The story is over.
The camera switches to show Will and Josephine.
Josephine asked him: "You never told me how your parents met."
"They met in O'Byrne."
"What are the details? How did they fall in love? The circus, the war, you never mentioned it."
"That's because most of it never happens."
"But it's very romantic."
"Do you love your father?"
"Do you love him?" Josephine asked repeatedly.
Will was dull, he didn't want to answer yes or no!
He explained: "You have to understand that over the years he spent more time outside than at home. I was thinking maybe he had another life somewhere else. With another house, another family. He
After leaving us, he went over there. Or maybe there was no other home, maybe he didn't need a family at all. But whatever the case, he liked another life. The reason he told these stories was that he couldn't stand it and it made him tired.
s home."
"No! This is not true!" The wife shook her head.
"So what's 'real'? I've never heard a real thing from my father. I know why you like him. I know why everyone likes him. But I need you to tell me that I'm not crazy."
Will was a little excited.
"You're not crazy."
"I want you to be on my side."
"I've always been on your side. I think you should talk to him."
