Durin's Diary

Chapter 308: Different Seven Hills
Astrid's life at Summer Night Palace was boring.

As an aunt, she faced more than a dozen older nephews and nieces, half of whom were a generation older than her, half of the remaining half were several years older than her, and the last quarter were the same age as her, but the youngest was two weeks older than her.

She is a truly iron aunt.

But today, life became completely different when the royal messenger who had served her before brought back Mr. Du Lin's reply.

First of all, she knew why Mr. Durin couldn't come - someone actually dared to challenge his authority. Astrid hoped very much that Mr. Durin could win against such a guy.

Hit him hard in the face with facts.

Then she saw the sealed magic crystal again.

Du Lin said this is a trailer!

Astrid picked it up and quickly ran to her little niece's boudoir.

There, with a projector that she had bought with her small stash of money, and also in her boudoir, Astrid watched several films made by Herr Dühring.

They cried together for the protagonists in the movie.

"Oona, dear, where is your projector?" As soon as she entered the room, Astrid found that the projector was missing.

"Take it to be fixed. I accidentally spilled some water on it when I was carrying it." After saying that, the young princess noticed the magic crystal in Astrid's hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Mr. Durin gave me a preview of his new work." Astrid's face was filled with sorrow. "Now we can't see it."

"It's okay, my brother has another one, let's go find him." So the two princesses walked through the corridor, ran up the stairs, and finally saw a sign outside his room door.

Una, I know your projector is broken. In order to prevent my projector from being damaged by you, no one will open the door for you while I am out.

The black-haired Una let out a battle cry, then kicked the door open.

"This isn't good." Astrid's forehead was sweating - she knew her niece was crazy, but she didn't expect her to be so crazy.

"It's okay, just say his door was blown open by the strong wind." After saying that, the girl went in and brought out the projector.

Returning the same way, Astrid installed the instrument and placed the magic crystal on it.

Hermo and White-Faced Owl soon appeared on the screen, and the two cooed together.

The screen switched, and a black straight line appeared in the middle of the huge screen.

Astrid saw a girl who looked about 80% like herself appear in the lower left corner. She had smooth hair and was reading a book in her hands.

A boy who looks 80% identical to Mr. Duhring appears in the upper right corner. He is wearing glasses and writing at his desk.

She and he looked at each other's side.

The picture is frozen.

"Hey, why isn't it a real person?" Una asked curiously.

Then the pages began to turn, and with each turn, Astrid noticed two people turning.

The pages of the picture turned faster and faster, and then the picture began to move.

A line of white words appeared on the black line.

Hey, do you want me to go to Qiqiu?

Then the screen went black.

Seven Hills Holiday appeared on the screen.

The scene changes.

Riding on the same train, he and she were destined to arrive at Qiqiu together.

The girl got off the train. Someone helped her carry her luggage and there were guards in front of her. Like a paper puppet, she smiled and walked towards the vehicle in the distance. Unconsciously, she looked to the other side, where there was a third-class carriage and people were getting off.

In the crowd, she saw a prairie elf boy.

The boy got off the train, carrying a suitcase in one hand and a typewriter case in the other, with a camera hanging on his chest. Dressed as a reporter, he walked towards the taxi. Unconsciously, he looked to the other side, where there was a first-class carriage and people were walking in a line.

In the crowd, he saw a grassland elf girl. A line of white words appeared on the black line.

They are of the same kind.

"That's you, Aunt Reed." Stopping the projector, Oona screamed and pointed at the girl in the picture.

"Well, the boy is Mr. Dulin, they are really similar."

"Mr. Du Lin is so cute... No, my aunt seems to be cute too..." At this point, Una was stuck: "How can you be so cute! And this picture, it's obviously not real people, it's just something like a picture book, how can it move! "

"I don't know either. Why don't you go ask Mr. Du Lin when he comes one day?"

"I must ask." Oona pressed the continue button.

The picture started playing again.

At the bottom of the picture, the boy finished a busy day's work. Looking at the night outside the window, he stood up, changed his clothes and walked towards the door.

At the top of the picture, the girl finished her day with a smile. Looking at the night outside the window, she stood up, changed her clothes and walked out the door.

The boy walked out of the hotel safely, walked to the door, took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette for himself. Then he took two puffs and put it out, and threw it into the trash can, as if saying goodbye to yesterday.

The girl carefully avoided the security all the way and came to the door. Looking at the lights on the street, she walked happily into the night, all the way to the intersection, and then saw her fellow man who had just thrown away the cigarette he had just smoked.

Is this a destined encounter?

The white writing appeared again.

He noticed her and she noticed him.

"Can I buy you a glass of ice water?" he asked with a smile.

"Add nectar?" she asked.

"You'll get fat." He answered seriously.

"Then ice water." The beauty-loving girl chose to compromise.

This is the most classic scene in Seven Hills Holiday. The poor boy doesn't have much money in his pocket, so he comes up with conspiracies and tricks to avoid making a fool of himself.

The princess who loves beauty was ravaged by her reason and chose to compromise because of the excessive management of her figure.

This night and this day are very long, as long as a long-distance race in life.

He and she drank the cheapest ice water, ate the greasiest grilled fish sausages, and sat on a bench to evaluate the stars.

She slept on the bed in his rented hotel room while he slept on the floor.

The next second, the scene changed, and he was riding a motorcycle with her on the streets of Qiqiu.

They drank fruit wine in an ordinary bar.

Listening to a down-and-out artist playing the violin on the street.

The scene changes again, and he stands in front of the drawing board, painting a portrait of her.

Everything was going smoothly until the royal agents broke in.

He was knocked down by a punch and could only watch her being taken away.

Astrid felt aggrieved - Mr. Durin was telling her how he felt that day.

But she didn't shed any tears, while Una beside her had already started crying.

On the left side of the picture, she is taken on a train and watches the city move farther and farther away until it is no longer visible.

On the right side of the screen, he was released from the police station. With bruises on his face, he glanced in the direction of the station and finally disappeared in the crowd.

"How pitiful." She cried, completely unaware of her aunt's angry face.

As the person involved, I haven’t even cried yet!
