沈若斐也知道这周是放榜日,她第一时间就想到了Toby,傍晚回家的时候,她特意找到Toby,轻声询问:“I heard that many schools will release the results this week. Will Ethan also get the news this week?”(我听说这周很多学校都要出结果了,陆则川是不是也是这周收到消息?)
Toby点了点头,声音里带着掩饰不住的紧张:“Well, it seems that he applied to UCLA around these days too. I applied to PSU just within these two days.”(嗯,他申请的UCLA好像也是这几天,我申请的PSU就在这两天。)
而下一秒,他的目光落在了茶几上那个精致的蛋糕上。“Is it...someone's birthday today? Why did you suddenly buy a cake?”(今天……是谁过生日吗?怎么突然买了蛋糕?)
Robinson看着儿子紧张又茫然的样子,走上前,轻拍他的肩膀:“Today is not anyone's birthday. This cake was specially bought for you in advance by Serena. She hopes you will succeed. We, the whole family, will celebrate for you together.”(今天不是谁的生日,这蛋糕,是Serena特意提前为你买的,她希望你能顺利通过,我们一家人,一起为你庆祝。)
这份突如其来的温暖,让他鼻尖微微发酸。
他默默换好鞋子,走到三人中间,目光不由自主地落在茶几上打开的电脑屏幕上。看着屏幕上安静的录取查询界面,他无奈地泄了气,声音低沉地说:“I... I'm not sure if I can make it. My grades aren't good enough and there might not be much hope.”(我……我不一定能过的,我的成绩不够好,可能没什么希望。)
“Don't say that, honey.”(别这么说,宝贝。)妈妈轻轻握住他的手,眼神里满是信任,“You have worked so hard for such a long time. We have all witnessed it. Regardless of the outcome, you are our pride.”(你努力了这么久,我们都看在眼里,不管结果怎么样,你都是我们的骄傲。)
沈若斐也笑着鼓励道:“Don't lose heart Toby. Just wait. We all believe in you. You can definitely do it.”(别灰心呀Toby,再等等,我们都相信你,你一定可以的。)
