1207 Unlucky family
Arthur looked at Renly quietly.
Renly sat elegantly and quietly, with his left leg overlapped on his right knee, his hands placed casually on his knees, and he leaned slightly relaxed against the back of the chair, with a trace of laziness and casualness between his brows. The soft halo around her body exudes a touch of warmth, making others relax involuntarily..
But in the understatement, he showed the calmness and self-control of being decisive and decisive..
Suddenly, Arthur couldn't help laughing happily. Sincerely, his narrow eyes were full of smiles..
Arthur has always known that the most terrifying, sinister and evil person in the Hall family is Renly. He would rather face Elf and Elizabeth at the same time than face Renly alone; but it is a pity that , only Edith believed in his judgment. Others seemed unable to imagine that that harmless little guy who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the world of acting was actually a big devil..
Now, it was finally George and Elizabeth's turn to suffer well. Just recalling their embarrassment and predicament in his mind, Arthur couldn't help laughing. Although such behavior was not what he should have done, Arthur couldn't help it. , he has never been so happy for a long, long time in the past.
“You know, I started to like you for the first time." Arthur raised his chin slightly, cast his gaze condescendingly, and said in a arrogant and critical tone..
Renly shook his head, "Thank you, but I still have to formally and seriously refuse..”
Then Arthur almost choked on his whiskey. He was caught off guard, and his movements and expression were slightly embarrassed..
Renly pretended not to notice, and changed the subject contentedly, "Don't tell me that you came to Los Angeles this time to find yourself and your dreams." The sharp complaints were in full force, without any intention of letting off steam..
After Arthur regained his breath, he curled his lips and sighed, "Renly, you are a bad example. In Hollywood, do people always speak so straightforwardly? This way of asking questions and this way of sarcasm is too vulgar. Now, you know, it’s really disappointing that you don’t have the slightest bit of self-cultivation. The same goes for Edith, she speaks straight and straight, without any charm at all..”
“You mean, you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Elf? "Renly threw a throwing knife calmly..
Hit the red heart.
Arthur spread his hands again and began to rant.：
“look! This is what I said. You have no patience and foundation now, everything has become simple and crude... Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't leave..”
“I made a special trip to Los Angeles and attended the Oscar night just to chat with you. You wouldn’t just leave like this...Renly Sebastian Hall! Okay, okay, let me tell you the truth. To be honest, I really have no sense of humor at all. God, Princess Beatrice kept saying that you are a very humorous guy.……”
“Don't glare at me. I got your signal. Okay, okay, I won't change the subject. Jesus Christ, did Edith say that? You are a devil, yes, devil.”
This is Arthur's disguise.
Every noble has his own disguise, and Arthur's disguise is his bohemian skin and social skills. He can always walk among the crowd easily with his unconventional means, but he doesn't People can discover his true self that is strictly hidden. Compared to Elf, compared to Edith, and compared to Renly, Arthur is the one who is best at concealing himself..
After all the jokes and banter were cut off, Arthur calmed down, picked up the glass, shook it gently, and warmed the whiskey bit by bit with his palm - this was a taboo, but Arthur was Deliberately, it seems that you can see the alcohol slowly evaporating, just like blooming flowers withering away, there is a grand and poignant beauty..
“I have no idea.”
After a long silence, Arthur whispered.
The busyness and excitement of Oscar night are still coming and going, but the endless stream of people never come close to the area where Renly and Arthur are, carefully separating a no-man's land, as if they are in another world, and yet they feel like they are in another world. In the huge crowd, no one can see me.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Arthur's mouth, bitter and weak, he laughed at himself, but finally calmed down. At this moment, Arthur's and Renly's eyebrows began to look similar, as if they had taken off their hair. After taking off the mask and hesitantly and timidly revealing the truth, they suddenly discovered the similarity between them..
“yes i don't know.”
Arthur repeated it again, with a trace of confusion and pain deep in his eyes, and then he breathed out softly, "I don't know why I came to Los Angeles, I don't know why I attended this party, I even I don’t know why I’m sitting here. Do you believe it?？”
At the last word, Arthur raised his eyes, met Renly's eyes, and looked over calmly..
There was nothing deep in his eyes, but Renly knew that this was the real Arthur. He was in the center of the whirlpool of Vanity Fair, but he completely lost himself. It was so ironic, yet so realistic..
Renly nodded slightly, "I believe.”
I don't know why, but Arthur felt slightly relaxed. That kind of relief made his heavy shoulders feel lighter..
He lowered his eyes, then turned his head, shaking the whiskey in his hand meaninglessly, and continued, "Before, Edith was forced to stay in London for more than a month. They moved Denise out and choked Edith. Dis's weakness, and then held a private party, by the way, Andre and Eaton were present. Ha.”
After a chuckle, Arthur fell silent again, seeming to be sorting out his thoughts, "I don't know why, after all this, I just want to escape, far away. Elf thinks I betrayed my father and mother, Because they need me for work in London, and because the Hall family’s connections need me, but……”
“But sometimes, I am also curious, what if I need me too? "A gentle word, but it revealed a deep confusion and confusion. The feeling of powerlessness dragged my ankles and slowly sank into the abyss. Inexplicably, my nose began to feel sore..
But Arthur still maintained his etiquette and rules without falling apart. He showed a smile again and turned to look at Renly, "Then, I bought a ticket and flew here. Why? Ha, I I don't know. Renly, do you know?？”
Arthur looked at Renly sincerely and asked questions carefully, exposing his vulnerability and softness..
Renly met Arthur's gaze and didn't rush to speak. He just watched quietly and thought seriously before speaking.：
“When I was immersed in the performance, for a moment, I could clearly know who I was, what I was doing, and where I was going. It could be said to be a dream, it could be said to be freedom, it could also be said to be... Self, essentially, it's all the same; and the only thing that's certain is that I know what I want.”
“Many people spend their whole lives not knowing what they want. Even if they have a goal, they don't know what they are chasing. It has nothing to do with class or origin. As you just said, everyone in this party, They are all competing for fame and fortune, but in fact, they have no idea what fame and fortune are. Money? glory? reputation? title? Connections? Or inheritance？”
“Or, just a sense of presence？”
“However, this is normal. Because only a very few people can know what they want. Even if they don’t know, there is no problem, but at least they can know what they don’t want. Then, start exploring. Life is very long, but also very short. If you don't hold on tightly, it will disappear in a blink of an eye..”
“Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves.”
Renly spoke and Arthur listened. The exchange was in perfect harmony..
Renly didn't answer Arthur's question, but talked to himself, but Arthur didn't speak, just listened quietly..
There is a sense of absurd joy in such a scene, because the lavish fans of Oscar night are still surrounding them. The glitz and hypocrisy between the toasts vividly interpret the meaning of Vanity Fair, but the two brothers truly open their hearts for the first time in history - -Yes, this is the first time.
Arthur's gaze fell firmly on Renly's face. Even though this was his brother and they had grown up together, it seemed as if he had never really known him. But if you think about it seriously, among the nobles, Who has ever truly understood each other?？
“Is that why you chose surfing and rock climbing? "This is Arthur's first sentence after silence..
Renly chuckled, "Yes, that's the reason. In addition, next month, I am going to New Zealand to learn skydiving; in addition, I am also considering whether to get a pilot's license.”
“What about acting?？”
“No rush, I need a long vacation. After all, I am not a robot.”
“Ha, are you sure?？”
“yes i'm sure.”
There was no pause or gap in the conversation, and the smile on the corner of the mouth could not help but rise slightly..
In a daze, Arthur seemed to understand one thing: why he came to Hollywood, why he came to Oscar night.
Renly Hall.This is the answer.
Deep down, Arthur knew that this was the right answer; but he didn't want to explore or admit it. After all, they were just strangers sharing the same name, not real brothers..
“Renly, I'm sorry..”
The sudden words made Renly stunned for a moment and looked at Arthur in confusion. Then Arthur lowered his eyes, shook his head, and said with a chuckle, "It's okay..”
From the very beginning of the story, it was clear to George and Elizabeth that Renly was an actor with potential..
The family once received an official invitation from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, hoping that Renly would join the academy's official drama crew and participate in a European tour; the family also received a letter and phone call from the London West End audition that he had successfully auditioned.……
But all these messages were intercepted.
In terms of life, Renly is a guy who lacks one thing, including the arrangement of letters. He never knows how to take care of his letters; so George and Elizabeth successfully stopped him and forced him to order Arthur wrote back, thanked the invitation, and declined the offer..
Arthur did so.
so sorry.
