1130 Absent-minded
Turning around, before he could take a step forward, Renly saw a familiar figure coming towards him. His steady steps slowed down slightly, as if he was preoccupied. Every step he took was slow and heavy, and his legs were hanging down. His vision was a little absent-minded, as if he was immersed in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself..
Then, she raised her head and saw Renly fifteen steps away..
In the long corridor space, the white lights are projected on the white walls, revealing a Berlin-style coldness and alienation. It seems that the air is flowing rapidly in the empty and long passage, and the gloomy outdoors is different from the indoor atmosphere. The tranquility is in sharp contrast, further amplifying the sense of space, but further dulling the sense of time..
In a trance, there is always an illusion that time and space are intertwined.
The eyes of the two people met in the air and they saw each other..
In an instant, the illusion of changing time and space became vivid and turbulent, and those familiar memories came to life again, surging in the depths of his mind. The smile on the corner of Renly's mouth could not help but rise slightly, just like Anita, an old friend returning to her old place. Reunion always makes people feel cordial.
However, before Renly could take the initiative to say hello, the figure in front of him paused and lowered his eyes again. He seemed to be still deep in his own thoughts. Then he turned around and hurriedly opened the stairwell trap door next to him. , in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared, leaving only the door panel shaking back and forth, confusing the refraction of light and shadow in the line of sight..
Renly opened his mouth slightly, not expecting the other party's actions at all. The first reaction in his mind was: Didn't the other party see him?？
It is completely normal to be immersed in your own thoughts and completely ignore the changes in the outside world. Even if your eyes are crossed but the focus is staggered, so that you can turn a blind eye when you meet head-on..
But the next moment, Renly saw the stairwell door being pushed open again, and the departing figure reappeared in sight. She showed a surprised smile, shook her head repeatedly, sighed in disbelief, and took the initiative to greet her. Renly, speaking warmly and cheerfully, "Jesus Christ, it is you who？”
“I just felt that something was not quite right. I seemed to have met someone I knew, but I couldn't explain why. When I looked back, it turned out to be you! God! Why did you come here today? I mean, I thought you were still filming in the UK. Did you come back all the way for the Gotham Awards?？”
The chattering words echoed in the corridor, some were too enthusiastic, and even a little too exaggerated, so that they seemed a bit stiff, as if... just like the plastic social interactions and politeness in social situations, with a slight sense of unfamiliarity. However, it happened.
Renly was stunned for a moment, seeming to be savoring these words carefully. He was strongly doubting whether he had a persecution delusion. He had stayed in London for too long, and the hypocrisy from the aristocracy made him become Being suspicious, it seems too self-centered and cranky..
However, when his eyes fell between the other person's eyebrows, he noticed that the other person's eyes dodge unnaturally; then, he tucked his hanging hair behind his ears awkwardly, hiding his true inner emotions..
Jennifer is a straightforward and honest personality. She is not used to or likes to hide her emotions. She always shows her truest self openly, both on and off screen..
Therefore, she is really not good at hiding the small details in her expressions.
From a positive perspective, this is the difference between ordinary people and nobles. They are always more calm and pure, while nobles always wear strict masks, even though Renly is not as powerful as Elf Sophisticated, but he is also very good at hiding his true emotions.
But from a negative perspective, in real life, everyone is learning to wear a mask. This is called growth, and it is also a necessary condition for entering Vanity Fair. Sincerity and purity, no one in Hollywood is willing to buy it, socializing Making mistakes in situations is a compulsory course for everyone.
Jennifer, who is one year younger than Renly, is now learning this lesson. But judging from today's performance, she still needs to continue to work hard..
Jennifer raised her head again, met Renly's gaze with a smile, her expression had returned to normal, her eyes widened, and she joked playfully, "Why, haven't we seen each other for a long time, but we don't know each other anymore." ? To be honest, I was also shocked. I didn’t expect to meet you here at all..”
However, his words and expressions were still slightly exaggerated, revealing his inner tension..
Of course, if it were other people, they might not be able to notice it, but in front of Renly, there was nothing to hide..
George, Elizabeth, and Elf are all masters at hiding their emotions. Many times, they can interpret the ups and downs of their emotions with just a change in their eyes. It is sad and ridiculous, but this is a must for aristocratic life. Skills that must be mastered from childhood.
Renly didn't take the initiative to pry. Maybe Jennifer is dealing with personal matters now and has many things on her mind. Everyone has their own highs and lows, which is normal. Since Jennifer didn't mention it, Renly pretended not to notice and smiled slightly. There was a pause, and then it rose again. The intimacy and familiarity in his eyes became slightly restrained, giving Jennifer more private space..
Finally, in a gentlemanly and polite manner, he smiled and started teasing, "Indeed, I was a little surprised. The first reaction in my mind was, has the paparazzi noticed my schedule? This doesn't seem very good..”
The light-hearted joking immediately made the other party laugh happily. That laughter and smile had no ladylike image at all. They were hearty and straightforward, still the familiar appearance in the memory, but you could still feel the faint feeling of Jennifer. He was absent-minded, and an invisible wall of air was slowly building up between the two of them..
Come to think of it, Renly and Jennifer haven't seen each other for a long time..
Since the short promotion period of "Edge of Tomorrow" ended, Renly and Jennifer have once again devoted themselves to their busy work. The two new-generation actors are full of work, with no feet touching the ground and no intersection at all..
Later, in the ice bucket challenge, Jennifer actively participated in it and called on the friends from the "Hunger Games" crew to join in, making great contributions to the rapid promotion of the event. For this, Renly called Jennifer specifically to express his gratitude..
But that was it. Then, six months flew by like this.
Neither of them expected that they would meet again at Mount Sinai Hospital..
It was here that the two formally introduced themselves for the first time. Using Heather as a bridge, they got to know each other, and then gradually became friends. They even developed a scandal, which triggered a lot of discussions in the media..
Both of them are representatives of the new generation with outstanding acting skills. Their two collaborations in "Crazy Love" and "Edge of Tomorrow" were also full of sparks. Therefore, people inevitably have more expectations. Therefore, Renly just The paparazzi's teasing is also a pun. On the one hand, it is teasing the scandal between the two people, and on the other hand, it expresses concerns about the paparazzi disturbing the peace of the hospital..
“Did you come here specifically to help? Anita and I were chatting just now, and she was complaining that there have been too many volunteers during the recent period, and the hospital does not need so many helpers. She actually hopes that other hospitals and medical institutions can get more help." Renly said with a smile..
After the publicity of the Heather Cross Foundation, Mount Sinai Hospital has become another benchmark location. The number of volunteer applications has increased dramatically overnight, and has even reached the level of overcrowding..
It would be great if all these applicants sincerely hope to provide a helping hand; but the problem is that many are speculators who follow suit, either for self-promotion on the Internet or for In order to make the resume look better when applying for college, or to attract the attention of the media, things suddenly lose their original flavor..
What’s more, Mount Sinai Hospital isn’t the only medical institution in need of help.
Attention and concern are a double-edged sword and are now becoming a worry and burden for hospitals..
Jennifer nodded in realization, "Yes, Anita and I also talked about this matter just now. Maybe we can appeal through social networks. There are many other organizations that need help..”
Jennifer's proposal was approved by Renly, and she continued, "I made a special trip to visit some children today. They all like the movie 'The Hunger Games' very much, so I just read the original novel to them..”
“Compared with fairy tales, today's young adult novels are much more exciting." Renly also joked..
Jennifer also chuckled softly and nodded in affirmation, "What about you? Did you come back specifically for the Gotham Awards?" After going around in a circle, Jennifer raised this question for the second time..
“No, it's not." Renly didn't think much and shook his head in denial, "I came here to visit Anne. Not long ago, Joss sent me a video of Anne's birthday party. Unfortunately, I was not able to participate. Therefore, I specially brought a small gift this time, hoping to create a small surprise.”
Renly, who was immersed in work, indeed forgot about Anne's birthday. But later, Renly made a special phone call to Anne and entrusted Matthew to send greeting cards and birthday gifts; I heard that Xiao Nizi was still not happy So happy, can't hide my disappointment.
Jennifer showed a look of realization, then blinked and said playfully, "Believe me, your appearance is the biggest surprise. Imagine, who doesn't want to see the handsome Renly Hall?？”
After a little joking, I felt Jennifer's usual quirkiness again, as if she was back on the set of "Edge of Tomorrow" again, and Renly's smile couldn't help but rise..
