1209 Confrontation again
Normally, the height difference can bring about a sense of oppression.
Standing and sitting, in the comparison between the two postures, the condescension of standing can easily create innate suppression of momentum, forcing the sitting party to look up; but sometimes, the cramped position of standing and the comfort of sitting can create completely different feelings. The counter-effect is that the standing party loses all momentum, as if it has become the lower class, accepting scrutiny and judgment..
At this moment, Harvey deeply felt the latter.
It was just a face-to-face meeting. Renly and Arthur were so complacent and unhurried. They didn't feel the suppression of Harvey's aura at all. Their ease in understatement naturally made Harvey feel the aggrievedness of being inferior to others. Even " "Good evening, Renly" makes you sound short of breath..
Harvey used laughter to cover up his embarrassment, pretending to be familiar and intimate, and jokingly said, "Or should I call you, Mr. Hall?"？”
The self-proclaimed clever little humor fell on the two Mr. Hall in front of him, but he suddenly became embarrassed..
The problem is that Harvey doesn't know what the problem is. He can just feel the gentle eyes of the two people in front of him. It seems calm, but it makes him feel passive everywhere, and he can't even use a little humor. , lest I say the wrong thing unconsciously and make a fool of myself without knowing it..
This feeling of suffocation once again reminded Harvey of his previous humiliation..
He slowly sat down on the sofa next to him, calmly adjusted his position, and once again showed his usual superior posture. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Renly carefully, and steadied himself a little. He stabilized his mind and the atmosphere of the scene, then raised his chin slightly and cast his eyes politely to the side, "This person is……”
“A passer-by." No need for Renly's introduction, Arthur sat up straight and answered proactively, "Passing by by chance, entering paradise by mistake, should be regarded as a beautiful dream, appreciating the glimpses of this place. Therefore, wake up in the dream. , I'd better seize the time and enjoy such a wonderful moment.”
After finishing speaking, Arthur stood up, nodded politely towards Harvey, and then nodded towards Renly. The standard etiquette did not have any differential treatment at all, and the boundaries were clearly drawn, as if Lan Li Li and Harvey were both strangers. Then, they turned around and took steps toward the other side of the hall..
There was no self-introduction in the whole process, and there was no unnecessary questioning. It seemed that he was not curious about Harvey's identity, and he was not interested in making friends with each other. However, the rules and gentleman's etiquette were like a spring breeze, but people couldn't find anything to criticize, and they could only say nothing. swallow in stomach.
This feeling is just like... just like meeting Renly for the first time in Park City..
It's hard for Harvey not to think about.
However, the other party's attitude was completely the same. There was no difference between Harvey and Renly. Even if he wanted to seek a breakthrough from Renly, he couldn't seem to find a window. That weird feeling was always surging in his mind, waving. Can't go away.
If Harvey is given a little time to calm down and think, then maybe he can find the truth in detail; but now, he must brace up to deal with Renly. In desperation, he can only swallow this breath temporarily, then A kind of suffocation and humiliation, like a lump in the throat.
“Passerby? It seems that Renly Hall is indeed the most famous gentleman in Hollywood. Even with a passerby, he actually had such a pleasant conversation..”
After all, he couldn't hold it back. Harvey mocked meaningfully, but after the words were spoken, he began to regret it. Because in such an occasion, once he became curious and asked questions, it meant revealing his uneasiness. and apprehension, instantly fell behind in the confrontation of momentum..
Sure enough, Renly didn't leave any room for Harvey to regret, and the smile in his eyes gently rose, "Mr. Weinstein took the initiative to come to say hello, probably not to discuss my social situation.？”
There was no answer, but sarcasm. The understatement thought about Harvey's scars mercilessly, and he became embarrassed in an instant. The confrontation had not officially begun, and in just the greeting stage, Harvey had already lost twice in a row. Advantage, which made Harvey's smile stiffen slightly..
Damn Renly！
“Of course not." Harvey remained calm, suppressed the anger in his voice, showed a condescending smile, raised his chin slightly, and said, "I came here specifically to express my regrets. Tonight is obviously not yours. night, but you should know that my personal vote is always for you.”
As he spoke, Harvey moved his gaze slightly and landed not far to the right. Although he tried his best to hide it, his intention was too obvious, and Renly understood it instantly..
Sure enough, the next moment, Harvey said with a smile again, "Jennifer also mentioned to me that she was extremely sorry for your loss." After a slight pause, Harvey took the initiative to look at Renly, with a light eyebrow. He picked it up lightly and asked with bright eyes, "She is really beautiful tonight, isn't she?"？”
Provocative words, a sharp and sharp attack.
Renly did not avoid it. He followed Harvey's line of sight, turned his head and looked over, and then Jennifer Lawrence came into view..
For the Oscar night party, Jennifer changed into a pale rose pink silk floor-length dress. The smooth and gentle skirt outlined the liveliness of a girl and the femininity of a woman. The bun was tied up high and loose, and the young girl A little more formal, a little more lazy, the light pink makeup makes her look dazzling.
He still holds the Little Golden Man trophy tightly in his right hand and is not willing to store it in the locker room on the second floor. This reveals the young man’s openness and liveliness, but instead reveals a true sassiness and straightforwardness..
At this time, Jennifer stood in front of Mark-Boal, holding champagne and conversing intently..
Not far away, several young girls such as Emma Stone and Taylor Swift gathered together and chatted. It could be seen at a glance that they were waiting for Jennifer, and there were several others beside them. A flower protector in a suit and leather shoes, the large field of young people has also become a unique scenery at the party..
Through Mark's shoulder, Jennifer noticed Harvey's gaze and looked over. Then, Jennifer and Renly's gazes met in the air..
Renly's eyes were filled with a warm smile, elegant and gentlemanly, polite and calm. He seemed to have expected such a scene, and calmly met Jennifer's gaze. The smile at the corner of his mouth even slightly opened, bright and clear. And brilliant, fainted in the hazy warmth.
Jennifer couldn't help being slightly stunned, her heartbeat suddenly stopped. Subconsciously, her eyelids drooped, panicking to hide her embarrassment, but this time she was not too confused, and then she reacted, raised her eyes again, and showed He gave a decent smile and nodded..
Mark noticed Jennifer's movements, turned his head, and then saw Harvey and Renly. Then there was another social courtesy of nodding. It was just eye contact, but it seemed that they had been talking for a long time all night, and then everyone They all withdrew their gaze and continued to insist on their position in social situations..
Jennifer stared at Mark intently and listened, but she couldn't help but glance at it again from the corner of her eyes, only to find that Renly had retracted his gaze and looked at Harvey. There was no special emotion or movement. It was just this one It was calm, but it gave rise to a touch of sadness and despair..
“Oh, yes, yes. I feel the same way every time." Jennifer withdrew her gaze, focused on Mark again, nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere of the conversation became lively and lively again..
……
Renly's eyes fell on Harvey, his round and smiling face shining with triumph. He looked at him quietly without saying a word, as if he was waiting for him to speak and then take the initiative..
That confident expression fell into Renly's eyes, but it was extremely funny..
At a certain moment, with the mentality of a bystander, Renly thought that Harvey looked like an old child, showing off his lollipop, wishing that everyone would come over to watch and worship, and then he raised his chin high , enjoying this lollipop alone. So, every man is an old child. Is this how to interpret this sentence?？
The only problem is that, as an old kid, Harvey's methods are not so innocent and romantic..
Slowly, Harvey noticed that not only did Renly not speak in a hurry, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was deepening little by little. That comfortable and relaxed posture simply took the initiative..
The silence between the sofa areas suddenly broke in. Renly's calmness and composure, Harvey's restlessness and eagerness, the gap between them created completely different effects. Unknowingly, the rhythm of the entire conversation changed. Once again in Renly's hands, Harvey could clearly feel that he was losing control, but he was helpless..
Harvey's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly. He hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back. He has never been a patient person, "I remember that you and Jennifer used to be friends..”
once, use past tense instead of present tense.
His tone was pretending to be deep, expressing deep concern, but he couldn't suppress the gloating and impatience hidden in it. It was simple, rude, straightforward, sharp, and fatal. Harvey couldn't help but tear off his mask and reveal I just want to see Renly panic, furious and embarrassed, and completely collapse..
Reveal scars, ridicule, show off one's strength.
This is Harvey's true purpose！
But obviously, Harvey has never understood Renly, nor the nobles, nor the target he is pursuing. Unintentionally, Renly once again recalled Arthur's words just now. Such a scene is indeed kind of... Feeling of joy, my mood can’t help but lightly lift up.
