Translate:  Cool Nickname have to be long.

Note: I do not know Americans Name and The raw is like 爱琳 which can mean Eileen, Erin, Erinn, Irene, Aileen. It may also be a short form like Ellen from Elena(爱琳娜) that is being called by people with close relations. I make a note in toc as now, I will update whenever I can.

The Raw writing is horrible, full of mistakes. Salute to the previous translators.

Angela completely unaware of her life is going to have a 360  change, the joy of her little mischief did not last very long.

"Did I hear it right? Chris (Angela Christina Ebert Mason) published her work on 《amazing》not only won the Nebula Award, she also got two of her scrips purchased by Disney Studio…… April fool is already many days over right?" sited in front of the dining table, Jared looked at his wife surprised.

"How I wish it is too, but obviously, April fool is indeed over." Eileen shrugged

Jared took a deep breath, looking at the little lass that is sitting properly (upright) and staring at her plates, then again facing Jennifer who is bringing the soup. However, Jennifer only shrugged while smiling: "I know nothing about it, mister."

"Alright, we have a genius in our house, maybe a bit of a celebration." Dad took his stance, and suddenly thought of something: "No wonder I seem to have an extra sum of Cheque exchange procedures fees last year……"

The little lass spilt out the soup that she just put in her mouth, lower her head, wolf down her plates, cleaned her mouth and says she's full. Escaped.

Eileen did not stop the little lass from freeing up the floor, only to sigh, looking at his husband: "our daughter has grown up."

"grow up? Honey, she's only 11." Jared shrugged.

"jade, you know very well what I am saying, Chris matures surprisingly fast, this is not good for her growth." Eileen continues to look at her husband.

(It's a typo or the wife called husband with a shortened name like how "cool nicknames have to be long" got shorten to "cool nicknames" by some people this is in Chinese, so it doesn't end well when translated. There is also a typo in this line or another short form, actuarily there is typo everywhere.)

"Don't worry okay, Eileen, no matter what happens, she's still our daughter." Jared lightly knock his plates, "she indeed matures too fast (typo in raw fixed) but I believe she knows what's right and what's not, you should believe in her too."

"Alright, hopefully, it's just me thinking too much." Eileen can't help but smile, then thought of something, move her line of sight to Jared again, spoke with an uncertain tone: "Dear, maybe…… can we, give the little lass another…… little brother……or a sister?"

"fuwha!" Jared convulsed almost splitting the wine that he just drank. After a few coughs, his eyes open wide: "Eileen……I think I'm hearing things……"

"No, that's what I said, I want another child." Eileen puts her hands supports her neck, spoke with an earnest tone: "Chris is being too lonely at home, just as she said, no matter how much friends she has, she can't keep them here forever. Still remember the Christmas last year when we visited Watson couple, the little lass circling around their newborn infant and fool around non-stop, if we have another child, the house will be livelier."
(Angela says in the previous chapter that she is lonely.)

"But……" Jared gives a slight frown, knowing that bringing up an infant is no easy task, those brats have special rights, do whatever "business" they want and whenever they want, scream and cry with their waywardness behaviours. Even having Jennifer our steward and the maids, still Angela did not give him a day of peace when she was born —— of course, this is not Angela's faults, even with the soul of adults, The body, however, does not simply listen to her commands. (Business is a slang for s**ts)

Jared's words stopped halfway, looking at his down there——under the table, he can completely feel that he can no longer change his wife's mind easily, yet Eileen only seems to only looking at him, with a smile on a mouth and seems to be doing nothing.

"Alright, maybe……we should do something." Jared raised his eyebrows, said.

The little girl that escaped into her room jumped towards her bed, swiftly covered her self with the blankets and then staring at the door without a blink, once the sound of the door opening sounded, she will immediately fall onto the bed and pretend to be in an atony shape, at the same time accompanied with a few light moans (groans). She will use this trick every time she's scared but then, her mother even though she knows it's an act she would still soften her tones.

But sadly, its time is ticking into 8 O'clock and there are still no signs of the door opening, Angela feel relief yet uncertain, why would mama let me off so easily? She puzzled, and uncontrollability gets off the bed and stick her head to the door and listens, but there is no sound of footsteps.

"I hate the waiting right before the trial!" The little girl grumbles unhappily while looking at the dressing table, looking into the mirror at herself, she unpleasantly gave herself a resentful look, and then stick his face on the mirror. "alright, Miss Mason, is there anything comments?!" she said to her self with a fierce tone.

However, doing all this is honestly really-stupid hence, Angela gave herself a dirty look in the mirror and then hesitantly turned to the side, circling around within the room looking very agitated. She soon discovers her own abnormal behaviour, couldn't help but give a sigh and took a sit in front of the piano, opening the soundboard while taking a deep breath and started playing.

《Moonlight Sonata》flowing out smoothly from the tips of the fingers, light and graceful tune resonates the room giving a feel of as if in a quiet forest, taking a stroll under the beautiful moonlight. While sometimes soft and beautiful and sometimes clear and pure just like a stream washing off your worries. Although, it's not as good as the masters but it still has its own taste.

After the play, Angela took a deep breath calming herself down. Oddly enough, at first, she was forced to learn a musical instrument. Now, it became a great tool for her to adjust her emotions. As one should know, rebirth can be accepted easily. But reborn as a "She" would have a great impact on her. This is not some fantasy novel online, where it's easy to change their perspective and accept their body, all those are nonsense. That's why she had been dazing until she was two. Her parents were very worried, even go as far as seeking countless doctors. Obviously, the doctors were unable to find any root cause to it. Until the past hoodlum behaviour of her past shut in broke out and she became normal but even then, she still dazes around all the time, absent-minded, never able to concentrate on anything.

She knew that she can't continue like this. The day when she reaches four, she pleased her parents to hire a governess to teach her arts. In her previous life, he (she) had been earning a living by selling CG's online. She has a strong foundation for illustration, with just a few pointers she is able to recover her skills to a decent level but using drawing as a form to help her self to concentrate is still new to her.

After all, she is still familiar with the sketch. That's why her teacher is shocked by the speed of her improvement, praised her as a genius but, she still unable to control her mind from wandering around. With her final resolute, using her tantrum, she asked her father for another governess to learn music. She regrets not able to learn music in his (her) past life, at times, he had always liked and want to learn music, he did not manage to learn it till the day he reincarnated. That is why she wants to try learning it as she had the chance.

This “try” lets her discover the advantage of rebirth, other than her nature affine aura, she is quick in learning and with her past life literate, she easily grasped music. Few years down the route, she has almost complete mastery from eastern to western instrument. She is most proficient in the elegance piano, the melodious violin and the clear mellifluous Chinese flute. After that, music has become part of her daily life, not only letting her accept herself (her body). Also, helping her to cultivate her mind (修身养性) just like how she will play the 《moonlight sonata》 when she feels frustrated and when she meets challenges and uncertainty she will play the violin and playing the long flute when she was sad and depressed.

"Alright, I'll go and apologize to papa and mama, then accept their punishment." (don't American all it like that?) Angela closed the sound board, although she already decided, her little cheeks is still frowning.

During this time, boom, boom, boom, knocking on the door can be heard, the little lass that just prepared herself jumped with fright. "Little girl, are you in there?"

"Please enter, aunt Jenifer." Angela let out a sigh of relief, even though she is prepared for her mom's demonic punishment, she is not mentally prepared yet.

The female steward brought a small disk (tray) to the door, there were few types of desserts and a cup of juice. "Were you hungry? You didn't eat much tonight."

Just as Jenifer had said, Angela feels as if her stomach is calling her. She immediately rushes to retrieve the disk (tray) with her eyes shiny. Saying her thanks while taking a bite of a wafer. The female steward riantly sits down, looking at the little lass wolf down the desserts to every bit.

"Alright, I know what you're going to say, Jenifer I understand, I'll go and apologist to mom later." Angela still wanting more (意犹未尽) and lick her fingers. Then, looking at Jenifer and spoked with a shy tone.

"no, that's not what I meant, sweetheart, I'm not going to talk about that, you know?" Jenifer smiled, patting her head with cares. "Chris, I had watched you grown up, compares with my lady, I view you from another perspective, so I want to ask you, what were you afraid of?"

Angela froze, indeed, actuarily is she really told her parents about the things she did, It's not a big deal. Anyway, she has been known as "genius" since she was young learning the arts (学画学琴). Then why is she hiding it, even to the degree to forge her dad's signature?

She scratches her head looking troubled, soon she realized the reason for her acts. But it is impossible for her to say it out loud, that's why the little girl gives a sigh and said: "I don't know, Jenifer, maybe I'm not confident but I myself also don't know the reasons."

"It's alright if it's like this then don't think so deep, don't do it again, okay? Don't let everyone worry about you." The female steward said it seriously.

"yes, I know, I promise I won't do it again." Angela raised her hands and vows earnestly.

"it is alright," Jenifer pats her head again, and suddenly said: "but, Chris, do you really think I'm a girl who loves to cry?"

"Aa?" Angela froze again, but soon she realized it, in the scrip of the《The Parent Trap》,the writhing of father's steward is written like that, this afternoon she personally told Nancy that the scrip is based on her own family, that is why……

"This……you know……aunt Jenifer, the thing about art……it's always……it's always being sarcastic and……" The little lass is unable to explain, the female steward smiled and standup: "It's okay, little girls, I know it, anyway it's written by you, whatever you said."

Seriously, is this considered as a prank? Angela puffs out her cheeks, then Jenifer walking to the door and said: "oh yeah, little girl, don't disturb your parents tonight."

"Oh?" Angela raised her eyebrows, no way……

"yea……their very busy tonight."

Knew it !!~!
