1174 Misplaced emphasis
“What about Chris? Would Chris like the real you?？”
After Matthew's question came out, there was another silence..
Edith glanced at Matthew with a tangled look, only to find that the iceberg was not moved at all, with a calm and calm face, as if she did not realize how heavy the point of this sentence was, but obviously, Ma Xiu knew, but he just didn't care and continued his usual style.
“Matthew, has anyone ever told you that you are so annoying every time you speak? "Edith asked seriously.
Matthew also nodded solemnly in affirmation, "Often. I am a lawyer.".”
Edith instantly turned to look at Renly, "He is your friend.？”
“Matthew." Renly turned to look at Matthew.
Matthew picked up his whiskey glass and sipped it gently, without continuing to complain..
However, Renly still looked at Edith. He didn't say anything, but his eyes couldn't be more direct. Edith couldn't help but rub her temples, "Why, you agree with him too."？”
Renly has not asked about the story of Edith and Chris, so he doesn’t know the ins and outs, but it is certain that Chris does not know Edith’s family background and identity. At least, he does not know Edith Hall. Coming from the same family as Renly Hall.
For Edith, she must bear countless pressures for this relationship; and for Chris, once he learns the truth, he also needs to be mentally prepared. This is a two-way process, just like every relationship Like marriage and every relationship, this is a story that belongs to two people.
“Jesus Christ, I just think he has a nice face and a nice figure, so I just go on a few dates to see. Do I need to be so serious? "Edith had a crazy look on her face and complained depressingly, "Andre has been dating outside. The third page girl last Christmas broke up long ago. After that, he changed at least four Girlfriend, why can’t I? God, I just want to enjoy being surrounded by handsome guys, can't I?？”
This time she complained but received no response. Edith looked around at Matthew and Renly, cast a questioning look, and said with her eyes: What can you say? Make some response? express your opinion？
“If that were the case, you wouldn't be worried." Renly said calmly..
If it was just a date, then all the worries would disappear. Edith wouldn't care about Denise's opinion at all, and naturally she wouldn't stay in London for a month, because it's just a date. If you like it, you can continue. Say goodbye when you are tired of it.
It is precisely because of caring, precisely because of heartbeat, and precisely because of liking that Edith stayed in London and fought back for this relationship; that is why Edith was upset and could no longer continue to be free and easy..
Edith opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't find the words, so she could only curse in a low voice, "Damn it." Then she took a sip of whiskey and said with great depression, "But, his chest muscles feel really good. Very good." After saying that, she glanced at the chests of Renly and Matthew, "Well, it's much better than yours..”
“"Pfft", Renly almost choked before he could swallow a sip of whiskey, "Matthew...have you ever felt it?"？”
Matthew's head was full of black lines, "The subtext is that she has felt yours." This is not a question, but a statement..
“Hey, what's with those disgusted looks on your two faces? It should be that I dislike you, okay? Edith complained angrily, and then left no room for the two of them to defend themselves, "Stop, I am the sad one today, you are not allowed to continue complaining, otherwise... I will cry to you." Look！”
Wait, where did this sentence come from?？
Matthew and Renly exchanged a look, and then Matthew said calmly, "It was nothing at first, but now I want to see it, what should I do?？”
“Get out." Edith could feel the veins popping out on her forehead. It was a bad move. It was a really bad move.！
The room fell silent again, but it didn't feel awkward at all. The slowly flowing tranquility and peace made people feel at ease inexplicably. It was not like a big house in London, which was so empty that it made people feel panicked and the silence that made people feel chilling..
“So, I have to be honest with him, right?？”
“Um.”
“Damn it. What should I say? Hey, Chris, I am actually the third daughter of a hereditary baron. There are a lot of cold-faced vampires in my family. They are very, very unhappy with you. What do you think? Are you interested in going back to London with me? A lap, show off, and see if their coffin boards will explode.？”
“good idea.”
“Renly-Hall！”
This back-and-forth conversation was gurgling like lava, but there was no smell of gunpowder. Instead, it surged in the warm winter room, making people smile. Then Matthew's calm and cold voice interrupted. came in, like a clear spring of melted ice and snow, "You can tell him, hey, Chris, I will introduce you to my brother some other time.".”
“Hey, not bad！”
“Matthew Charles Dunlop！”
The first sentence belongs to Edith, and the latter sentence belongs to Renly. Matthew, who was caught in the middle, picked up his whiskey glass with a calm expression..
Edith thought about it carefully. At a formal occasion, both Renly and Chris appeared. She formally introduced them. Chris's expression then nodded with satisfaction and looked at it happily. I picked up the cup and felt a little more comfortable..
“By the way, there is one thing that I have always been curious about, and today is just the day, you can answer it for me." The heavy and depressed mood was swept away, and Edith became the familiar Edith again, with those eyes that were stained by alcohol. The hazy eyes bloomed with a cunning and bright light, "Recently, Chris has been busy filming 'Captain America 2'. He is getting closer and closer to the actors in the same show, and they often go out to party. You said, this Is it normal?？”
Is there anything special about this question?？
Isn't it a topic of concern to the paparazzi, or is it a topic of daily concern for the girlfriend to her boyfriend?？
Both Renly and Matthew looked puzzled, not understanding Edith's excited expression at all..
“Oh, I forgot to mention, I mean Sebastian-Stan." Edith added, a row of black lines appeared on Renly and Matthew's foreheads at the same time, you can even see Seeing the traces of crows flying over in groups, Edith said with an inquiring expression on her face, "I'm serious, Chris and Sebastian's relationship is indeed very good, and they even lived in the house one night together……”
There was no more words to say after that. His eyes fell between Renly and Matthew, and then he looked at the blankets and pillows on the sofa. The meaning couldn't be more obvious..
Renly narrowed his pupils slightly. Not only was he neither angry nor panicked, but he said extremely seriously, "You mean, you have some clues and think there is a possibility between Chris and Sebastian."？”
“Do you think Chris is bi/sexual/sexual? Pansexuality? Or gay/sex/love? Or is it a self-identity disorder, where a man has a girlish heart underneath his appearance? And then Sebastian sparked this idea? "Matthew also came to join in the fun, with an academic expression on his face..
“Hey you guys, I'm serious! "Edith's eyes widened..
“Believe me, we are also very serious." Renly also widened his eyes, so the two of them just stared at each other..
In the end, Edith was defeated and shrugged, "I mean, is this my illusion, or what? Is the strong friendship between men really just friendship? There is no... sparks or anything like that. Yes?？”
“You mean, like the spark between you and me, or the spark between me and Arthur? "Renly sighed softly. Even after two lifetimes, a woman's mind is still elusive. After all, he still can't understand the way this brain circuit works. It's difficult, it's really difficult..
“When did there be a spark between you and me? Edith rolled her eyes and said with great disgust..
Renly spread his hands, "Maybe Matthew feels there is a spark between us.？”
“Matthew, what on earth are you thinking about? "Edith looked away with surprise..
Matthew shook his head slightly, "Yes, what are you thinking about?"？”
A rhetorical question made Edith stunned, and then she reacted, "You don't know...but...I mean..." After trying several different possibilities, she found that the brain's rotation speed was a bit slow. , his thoughts couldn’t keep up with the rhythm, and he still had too much whiskey tonight, “Forget it, I’ll just ask Chris next time..”
Although Renly wanted to say: Can I stand by while the inquiry is being made? But he still endured it.
“Phew, can you call a taxi for me? I think I need to go back and rest." Edith rubbed her temples and felt a slight headache..
“I'll drive you back." Renly put down his glass and said..
“Forget it, I don't believe in your skills." Edith complained bluntly, "Matthew, you don't have to worry about me anymore. You have changed into pajamas now and left this guy at home alone. It might make your whole house a mess." Edith said considerately before Matthew could speak..
“Call a taxi for me." Edith let out a long breath, "Don't worry, although I drank a little too much tonight, I can still handle it, don't worry about me..." But the following words But he didn't speak. As he spoke, he actually closed his eyes..
After a month of perseverance, a journey, and one night of talking, Edith finally truly relaxed. All the fatigue swept over her like a tide. She fell asleep without even realizing that she had lost her composure. passed.
Renly stood up, gently took the whiskey glass out of Edith's hand, and whispered, "Let her stay downstairs for the rest of the night. Matthew, go downstairs and open the door. , I hugged her and then came down.”
Matthew didn't speak and took action directly. He stood up, opened the door to the room, and then went downstairs first..
Renly bent down and carefully picked up Edith in the way a princess would hold her. Trying to keep a steady pace to avoid waking her up, Renly headed towards his apartment downstairs..
The night outside the window was a little noisy, and the storm was beating continuously on the window, but Renly was sure that Edith should be able to have a good rest tonight..
