1129 down to earth
During the flight across the Atlantic Ocean, Renly was always asleep, groggily and haphazardly trapped in a dream of reality and reality, as if floating in space, with the pull of gravity appearing and disappearing. This up-and-down gravity texture successfully makes the world's most dangerous and thrilling roller coaster look like a child's play..
Sometimes struggling, sometimes drowsy; sometimes resisting, sometimes nothingness; sometimes burning, sometimes biting. Half asleep and half awake, they were already directly above the city that never sleeps..
Outside the cabin window, the turbulent sea of clouds spreads endlessly, and the tall skyscrapers stand alone and tall in the middle. The clouds and mist are shrouded, and the golden sunshine passes through them. The whole world reveals a thrilling brilliance and dream. Like a fairyland.
As the plane landed little by little, the magnificent scene dimmed little by little, and plunged into the drizzle all over the sky. The world was dyed into a wet gray, and the straight and spacious streets They are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, like sharp swords, showing sharpness and coldness, neatly dividing the land into square grids..
So Renly can be sure that this is New York, not London.
After returning to New York and before joining the crew, Renly had forty-eight hours of rest and adjustment. This was the time that the Coen brothers tried their best to squeeze out. They could not delay it any longer - or in other words, they did not want to delay it any longer. , if possible, they would have wanted to start work the same day Renly arrived in New York.
Returning to Gotham City without Batman again, the rain and strong winds in winter are not very friendly. They strictly keep everyone at home and in the office. Even the noise in the bar seems to have gradually quieted down.——
If it were London and the weather was like this, you would be able to find more excitement in a bar. A glass of beer and a football match could make everyone lively; but this is New York.
However, this time, Renly did not huddle up in a warm bed to recuperate. Instead, he left the house and started jogging around the streets of the city in the misty rain. He was just running, enjoying the sharp cold. In the air, you can feel the cold and biting raindrops, and most importantly, you can feel the solid and heavy gravity of the earth..
This is really an interesting thing.
Human beings have always longed for freedom and flying, always longed to escape gravity and soar into the sky, but over time, human beings still long to feel the earth. Only when the feet are closely connected with the earth can the kind of security rooted deep in the heart Only then can the feeling gradually become enriched, and only then can the true feeling of being down-to-earth supporting oneself be rediscovered..
Now Renly finally understands how the name "Mother Earth" came about. Not only because this land breeds vitality and provides opportunities for survival; but also because humans spread their blood to the ground. rooted in this land.
Running, step by step, toes and heels, toes and heels.
Repeated simple movements make the body slowly become heavier, and then slowly become lighter. Even the biting cold wind and icy raindrops are filled with bitterness. The steady and burning breath stings the lungs, and it feels real. Little by little, it returned to the blood, as if feeling the vigorous vitality again.
Unknowingly, the architectural outline of Mount Sinai Hospital appeared in sight. From the apartment to the hospital, a distance of nearly ten kilometers, I ran all the way, but I didn't feel the passage of time at all. If it weren't for the burning lungs and rapid breathing , there was a protest from the body, maybe the brain still couldn’t receive the signal.
The dark red brick wall has become thicker and more transparent after being washed away by the rain. There is a swirling and turbulent color in the gray mist, as if a moment recorded with a camera has been frozen for a long time..
After bypassing the hospital gate, Renly's footsteps skillfully found the staff passage on the other side of the building. He pushed the door open and went in. While greeting those familiar faces, he came to the lounge shared by volunteers and in the locker room. I found a towel in the closet, quickly dried my wet hair, hung up my waterproof jacket, rested for a while, and then walked to the elevator..
“Wait, wait, that young man." A call came from the direction of the counter at the nurse's station, stopping Renly in his tracks. Turning around, you could see Anita Tunissa's chubby face. , “Who to look for? Who did you come here to see? Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong floor? Not just anyone can come here..”
Renly turned around and looked at the serious expression on Anita's face. A smile appeared in his eyes, but he did not defend himself. Instead, he followed Anita's words and performed the scene. "I'm not sure. I came here specifically to look for Anita Tunisa. I heard that she is a kind, warm and pleasant lady who is very helpful. I just need a little help..”
The corners of Anita's mouth couldn't help but slightly raised, but she still suppressed her smile, cleared her throat, and raised her chin exaggeratedly, "Are you sure you are not talking about Snow White?"？”
“snow White? "Renly frowned and looked Anita up and down. His critical and questioning eyes immediately made Anita unable to bear it any longer. She rounded her eyes and angrily said, "Why, black people are not allowed. Is it Snow White?？”
Directly break the power.
Renly raised his hands and said with a smile, "Of course it's allowed. However, I didn't expect that your favorite fairy tale character is actually Snow White, not the Princess and the Pea, Little Red Riding Hood, the Little Mermaid, Princess Trolls, or Cinderella. La..." After rambling on for a long time, Renly shrugged and said meaningfully, "That's all..”
Anita finally couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into laughter. Then her smile completely blossomed and she opened her arms, "Give me a hug, hurry up. She didn't show up on Christmas Day, and she disappeared on New Year's Eve." Now, I can’t even see your news on the pages of entertainment news. I almost think you have chosen to completely retire..”
“Retreat now, God, what is the misunderstanding between us? How old do you think I am? "Renly raised his brows, with a look of disgust in his eyes, and said seriously, but his soft eyes could not help but reveal a smile..
“Forty-five? "Anita hugged Renly enthusiastically, then slapped Renly hard on the back, and raised her tail voice in reply..
Renly pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "Forty-five is still far from the time to retire. When I am ninety years old, I will wait until no one wants to come to watch my stage. Feeling sad and embarrassed, he left the performance stage dejectedly and enjoyed the boring life after retirement..”
“God! Ninety years old? This is simply a disaster." Anita's joke made Renly chuckle again, causing the nurses next to him to also chirp and laugh, some old faces and some new faces..
This is not surprising. Taking care of patients is not an easy task in the first place, and the difficulty of taking care of the elderly and children has doubled. Those caregivers with experience and skills are often extremely sought-after professionals, and they can definitely Changed to a more profitable and easier job as a private nurse. Therefore, the hospital's personnel changes are always very frequent..
After all, Renly has not appeared for more than half a year. It seems that this is the first time Renly has returned to Mount Sinai Hospital after Heather's death. This was not an intentional result, but by chance, Things still happened like this.
But there was no barrier at all between Anita and Renly. The faint surge of intimacy and familiarity always made the corners of their mouths rise involuntarily..
Anita looked at Renly carefully, then cast a disgusted look at the little girls next to her, and finally said seriously to Renly, "Did you do this on purpose? You took a special shower before coming here. Cleaned up? Wet hair, trying to look more handsome? It's not necessary, these girls will fall for you even if you just crawled out of the coal mine..”
“Phew, thank you for letting me know, I'm finally relieved." There was no shyness or smugness, Renly's gentlemanly teasing and self-deprecation always had a special flavor, and then you could see him standing next to him Each of the nurses began to stamp their feet excitedly, just like high school girls..
Anita could only laugh dumbly and patted Renly on the shoulder, "You should leave now, otherwise, I'm not sure if they will pounce directly on you in the next second." Even though. It's a joke, but I'm still complaining.
Then he changed the subject and whispered, "Annie is in the activity room now. Since the last batch of donated books, Annie has been staying in the activity room reading all day long. Joss has been worried that maybe, you You can persuade her to go out and bask in the sun.”
Anne Silliman, the little one, is still in the hospital; and José is her mother..
“If so, you are definitely looking for the wrong helper. Don’t you know that I am a famous bookworm? "Renly's eyes showed a shining light, "I have been looking forward to owning a house of my own in the future, and then setting up a study room with bookshelves on all the walls and thousands of books on it. Thousands of books.”
“So why don't you just buy a library and call it your own house? "Anita rolled her eyes and complained speechlessly..
Renly snapped his fingers and said, "Good idea!" Then he saw the astonished expression on Anita's face, which made Renly laugh happily. He didn't stay any longer, turned around and headed towards Taking steps in the direction of the activity room.
But before he could even take a step forward, a figure could be seen walking towards him at the end of the corridor. He was wearing a simple pink sweater with jeans and a camel-colored long windbreaker in his hand. The two of them saw each other face to face. Their eyes crossed for a moment, and then the other person turned around, stiffly and hastily opened the stairwell door, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye..
