1303 nowhere to escape
On the stage, Jane seemed to be aware of LeVine's gaze. Her eyes fell meaningfully on LeVine, but they were hidden behind the melody and lyrics, making them unpredictable..
LeVine's eyebrows frowned slightly, and all the emotions and softness deep in his eyes disappeared instantly. He spread his hands, showing a helpless and innocent look, and said with his mouth, "What?" Then He is careless and careless, and it seems that he has never changed..
Jane's eyes dimmed slightly, revealing a hint of sadness, but before she could catch it, she shifted her gaze and looked to the other side. Jim's chorus voice came to her ears, and she raised her chin to look. She turned to her husband, with a sweet smile on her lips, and her expression became cheerful again..
However, hidden in that joy, there is a hint of loneliness.
LeVine's expression froze on his cheeks again, staring blankly at Jane. A touch of sadness and tenderness, modifying the edges and corners of his body bit by bit, quietly stirring in the melodious and moving melody. Resonated.
The bar owner Papi sat down next to him. LeVine looked up and then looked at Jane again..
“Boy, they're not bad," Papi said..
LeVine raised the cigarette in his hand, and the smoke spread out in front of his eyes, "...hmm.”
“That Jane. I want to have sex with her.”
“……uh-huh.”
Emily just stared at the big screen quietly, watching LeVine's expression, the bitterness and loss hidden between the melody and light and shadow, like the dust slowly settling in the air, telling her story in detail. The story of one person. Suddenly, she fell in love with this movie.
That night, LeVine ended up staying at Jim and Jane's house. He slept on the floor and Troy slept on the couch..
In the early morning, LeVine woke up because of the sound of Troy enjoying breakfast cereal. They started a life-like conversation. Unlike LeVine, Troy has a positive, optimistic and happy-go-lucky personality. He does not complain or complain, and is cheerful. And proud, but he got the opportunity to sign with Bud Grossman.
Troy left.
LeVine was lying on the sofa, trying to enjoy the relaxation brought by a cigarette. He opened the window. But before he could take a puff, the big yellow cat ran out of the open window and slipped along the fire escape. Left. Lewin chased him out in a panic, slovenly and embarrassed manner, but after a period of chaos, he still failed to catch up..
Lewin returned upstairs, woke up the sleeping Jane and came to open the door; however, Lewin did not enter the house, but hoped to have a conversation with Jane about the child. Indoors was obviously not a suitable choice. So LeVine borrowed Jim's winter coat and left the house with Jane.
On the way to Columbia Square, Jane was complaining, venting all the anger deep in her heart on LeVine, and blaming all the faults on LeVine, if this was Jim The child she wanted to keep because they had been trying to conceive; but the problem was, Jane couldn't be sure. So, the child had to disappear.
LeVine？
LeVine has been adjusting his coat. He is taller than Jim, and his coat is a little narrow..
What's more, no matter what he said, even if it was just silence, Jane's anger could not be calmed down. Any word could be a reason for Jane to attack..
Obviously, Jane knew that this was not the first time LeVine encountered such a situation, she was just another "accident" of LeVine.
“Have you ever heard the saying 'it takes two to tango'? " Lewin endured all the anger and mocked back in a calm tone..
“Fuck you." This was Jane's answer..
Lewin's eyes fell on Jane's side face, paused for a moment, and then quickly lowered his eyes, concealing his inner emotions, with a nonchalant look on his face, "Okay, I think we should wait for you We can discuss it after the anger subsides, but that will have to wait until……”
LeVine protracted his tone and seemed to be thinking seriously, "Then we have to wait until... then when?" Finally, he threw the question to Jane.
“Go to hell! "This is still Jane's answer.
Lewin glanced at Jane with complicated eyes. The painful struggle was fleeting. After all, he turned his head and exhaled gently, without continuing to speak..
“……”After a long silence, Jane's tone and attitude suddenly calmed down, and she whispered, "I miss Mike.”
Lewin lowered his gaze, making it impossible to capture the emotions in his eyes. He deliberately pretended not to hear and changed the subject, "Can I ask you a favor?？”
“Are you kidding me? "Jane looked at LeVine in disbelief..
“Not for me, but for the Grovefiances." LeVine tried hard to explain, "Their cat ran away, can you leave the fire escape window open?？”
“It's winter now." Jane was already extremely angry, but her tone calmed down..
“Just enough for the cat to sneak in. It will come back." LeVine was still talking to himself..
“Go back to our apartment? Jane's anger was finally aroused again, and she looked at LeVine in disbelief, "It only stayed there for six hours!" why does it come back？”
“I don't know, I'm not his mother's cat! LeVine also raised his voice and defended with excitement, "Think about it, I fucking lost their cat, I feel really guilty.".”
“Is that why you feel guilty? "Jian's eyes widened, and she looked at LeVine speechlessly and helplessly, unable to believe her ears..
……
Emily was sure that LeVine was an asshole, but she still underestimated the extent of LeVine's asshole..
LeVine returned to his sister's house, trying to borrow money to tide over the difficulties, but he was unwilling to reveal his embarrassment, so he pretended that his music career was developing extremely smoothly, and condescendingly criticized their lives, refusing to give up on his dreams and living like a zombie. Qing Gao assumed the posture of an artist, but in the end, he returned empty-handed..
At the train station, LeVine called Professor Grofiens and mentioned the big yellow cat again, and repeatedly emphasized that the cat was now staying at Jim and Jane's home, everything was fine, and he would take the cat back tomorrow.
LeVine accidentally learned that Jim was looking for him. He was originally indifferent and just wanted to pass by perfunctorily, but Professor Grofiens repeatedly emphasized and told what he knew, because Columbia Records had a A recording session occurs, and one of the singers has to drop out due to illness, and Jim thinks LeVine should be interested..
So LeVine came to Columbia Records.
Here, LeVine met Jim and the strange Al Cody.
This is not a music job like backing up a folk singer, but recording a specialized commercial song, full of popular simple chords and fancy singing techniques..
When LeVine asked Jim with a joking expression, "Who is the creator?" Jim replied with a calm expression, "I”.
After the performance, LeVine voluntarily gave up the copyright. He only hoped to cash the two hundred US dollar remuneration check as soon as possible. He did not care at all that his name could not appear on the list of creators and he could not receive royalties. I even couldn’t wait and chose to give up..
After leaving the recording studio, LeVine went to his record company and asked if he had a letter from Bud Grossman, but he was still disappointed; what was even more sad was that the record company was sorting out the "junk items" and one of them The big box is full of old records that LeVine and Mike can't sell..
So LeVine came to Al's house with a large box of old records - when the recording was over, LeVine asked if he could borrow Al's sofa, and Al agreed..
At this time, Al was about to leave. He went to his home in New Jersey and borrowed his mother's car, so he let LeVine enter the home alone. LeVine tried to find a space to put the big box, but failed I unexpectedly found another big box under the coffee table. The whole box was filled with records that Al Cody couldn't sell..
Later, LeVine came to Jim and Jane's home again. Jane refused LeVine's request to go upstairs, but agreed to take LeVine's belongings to the cafe downstairs and return them to LeVine..
After raising the cash, LeVine asked Jane when she was going to have the operation, but after just a few words of conversation, the two quarreled again. LeVine denounced Jim and Jane as utilitarians, while music was completely reduced to a tool. ; Jane denounced LeVine as a loser, with no plan and no future, useless and nothing..
In the middle of the argument, LeVine rushed out of the cafe without warning. After a chaotic run, he caught a big yellow cat. Apparently, this was the big yellow cat owned by the Grofiens. Lewin breathed a long sigh of relief. After returning to the cafe, he and Jane teased each other again and ended the conversation..
This is life for LeVine.
Constantly wandering around the city of New York, from here to there, from there to here, not only for his own music career, but also to solve the mess brought by life..
However, when LeVine learned from the doctor that Diane, the object of his last problem, had not completed the abortion/operation, and he knew nothing about it, the entire theater still let out a low murmur. You can feel the mixed emotions hidden in the low breathing sound, and you can't distinguish them in detail at all..
LeVine refused to accompany Diane or Jane for the operation, so he did not know that Diane not only did not perform the operation, but also returned to her hometown and completed the birth. However, the doctor had no way to refund the fee to LeVine because LeVine Wayne does not have a permanent residence in New York, and the bars where he used to perform regularly no longer appear..
So, three years later, LeVine learned that he was the father of a two-year-old child.
LeVine sat blankly on the chair, staring at the doctor behind the desk opposite, his eyes showing a trace of confusion, a trace of pain, and a trace of bitterness. Those dark brown eyes faintly reflected a thin Water mist, under that bastard's coat, showed a moment of vulnerability for the first time.
