1369 idealism
Edith unconsciously rotated the champagne glass in her hand and was quietly listening to the conversation next to her, but her attention had obviously drifted to other places; there was no special look, movement or expression, but she could clearly feel it. Her absent-mindedness and restlessness.
This kind of Edith, against the smoky makeup of the punk girl, reveals a trace of vulnerability..
This made a light smile appear in Renly's eyes, "You think, should I be merciful?"？”
“Will you? "Matthew asked without any hesitation..
As he spoke, Chris' footsteps had already arrived in front of them, "Hey! How are you feeling tonight?" Chris said hello in as brisk a tone as possible, but both Renly and Matthew just nodded slightly. That's all. This immediately made Chris panic a little. Only then did he realize that his situation was really not very favorable..
Originally, Chris was still worried that if he stood while the other person sat calmly, he would appear too condescending and arrogant. However, the actual situation was that the other person was as steady as a mountain and he felt awkward and uneasy. Instead, he looked like someone who was being disciplined in the principal's office in middle school. The scene was average, and Chris was instantly put at a disadvantage..
Looking back, Chris dragged a low sofa over and sat down directly opposite Renly and Matthew..
“You've probably heard that I'm not a friendly person, right? "Renly took the initiative to speak, but the first sentence made Chris feel uneasy..
“No, of course not." Reflexively, Chris waved his hands repeatedly and expressed his denial with social politeness and greetings..
Renly didn't buy it at all. Before Chris could say any more polite words, he said in advance, "I'm serious." This immediately made Chris become confused and didn't know what to do, but Renly But he still had no intention of letting it go easily, and continued to tease him aggressively, "It's not a good sign to be speechless so easily..”
“I'm working hard! I, I'm working hard." Chris said eagerly, and then he took a moment to react. There was a smile on Renly's lips, and his seemingly serious words revealed a hint of ridicule, so... what on earth is going on?？
Chris just froze on the spot, not knowing what to say..
Renly turned his head and looked at Matthew, "Am I really so vicious? Look, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak..”
Matthew shrugged lightly, "You haven't used your full form yet..”
“Complete form? What do you think I am? Charizard? "Renly frowned slightly..
Matthew was not worried at all, "No, Pikachu.”
Renly rolled his eyes, "I can't believe your taste. You've actually started watching children's cartoons..”
This time, Matthew did not refute, but nuzzled in the direction of Chris, "He is about to explode. Are you sure it doesn't matter? Will Edith ask you for compensation?"？”
Renly said lightly, "It doesn't matter. There are many of these in Hollywood. If there is no one, there will be another one. There will be many for Chris alone. Edith can choose slowly by then. To be honest, I I think Hemsworth would be a good match for Edith, they have the same taste..”
“What does it taste like? asked Matthew.
Renly pondered for a moment, "Peachy.”
Matthew thought seriously for a moment and shook his head seriously, "No, I don't think these two have the same taste. Otherwise, I'd better switch to another Chris.".”
“not good! "Chris finally found his voice and shouted loudly.
He was completely at a loss now. Renly and Matthew were talking back and forth so fast and frequently that there was no time to intervene. He just became more and more anxious and uneasy, and the content of the conversation was too fast. Really too scary——
Not only the content, but also the way they treat all Hollywood actors as objects in an understated way. The arrogance and coldness bursting out of their bones truly shows the class gap, which is really chilling..
What is contempt and contempt?？
Not cursing and contempt, not disdain and discrimination, but indifference, just like despising ants, never taking it seriously. For the aristocrats of the upper class, Hollywood actors are just objects, nothing more..
Not only Chris, but also Renly himself. From the past to the present, even at the dinner not long ago, Renly still has not been able to completely break the fixed ideas of the entire aristocratic class. It is a kind of three views formed in the bones. , truly engraved class differences deep in their souls, and revealed them in every move.
However, Renly has won a place by virtue of his own strength, and he is defeating centuries of prejudices bit by bit..
And Chris? He's not even an entry-level student.
What's more, Renly and Matthew were consciously firing on all cylinders today, and Chris was even more unable to resist..
Then you can see Chris taking a big breath, forcing himself to straighten his back, trying his best to show confidence and perseverance, "No, I think I am the most suitable one for Edith.".”
“Why? "In the face of Chris's excitement and excitement, Renly remained calm and calm. This was really too calm and too calm. The stark contrast between his mood swings made Chris even more embarrassed..
Matthew, who was sitting next to him, also added, “Don’t say words like ‘I love her.’ This is the cheapest commitment letter in the world..”
Love is important. No one can deny it.
But besides love, there are other laws of operation in this world, such as interests, status, glory, inheritance and the overall situation, which are irreplaceable and immeasurable. When necessary, love is a bargaining chip for sacrifice, not a bargaining chip. tools to create the future. In the eyes of idealists, this idea is wrong; in the eyes of realists, idealists are stupid..
Aristocrats are precisely a type of realists. Because the reality they have is suitable for them. The same is true for Wall Street elites..
Matthew's words are correct in their opinion. For the benefit of the family, so-called love, so-called marriage and family affection are all just profit chips..
The kind of coldness that burst out from the depths of his soul made Chris shudder, and the words that came to his mouth stopped like this..
At this time, he was completely immersed in his own thoughts. He could only barely notice that Renly and Matthew exchanged glances, but was unable to distinguish the true emotions in their eyes. Finally, he took a irritated sip of the champagne in his hand. But it had no effect, and my mouth became even more dry, "Because...because I love her.”
Chris finally spoke out and tried to explain, but found that all the words were feeble and he was at a loss. After over and over again, he could only say this sentence, the "cheapest" sentence..
The smile on Renly's lips rose slightly, "You should know that in the face of interests and glory, love is the most humble thing..”
“But it’s also the greatest thing.” Chris finally found his voice and replied forcefully..
Matthew still had the same lukewarm expression on his face, "It seems that in the vanity fair of Hollywood, I have still found something unique. For example, lines." There were not many ups and downs, but the deep meaning of cynicism was also there. no cover up.
Chris's cheeks suddenly turned rosy, and he choked himself inexplicably and began to cough violently..
Renly did not continue to embarrass Chris, but said with a smile, "I am the protagonist tonight, let's not blur the focus. I am already feeling unhappy now." A joke, as if everything just now was just a joke. , the atmosphere began to relax, but Chris's smile was still a little stiff, unable to hide it perfectly like Renly and Matthew..
“DC has already taken action. How about it? Does Marvel have any special plans to deal with it next? Recently, there is almost no news about you in the media." Renly changed the atmosphere with a simple word..
To be honest, the conversation just now was not even shocking and educational, but Chris couldn't bear it anymore. No wonder Andre had complained about it before. Obviously, Andre knew Chris well enough, or in other words, understood and interacted with him. Similar Hollywood boys of the same type.
Chris was still a little distracted and said absently, "I don't know, we probably have no plans for the time being..”
“Don't make it sound like you've been paying close attention to Marvel news. Don't you never read the news? "A voice came from the side, it was Edith.
After all, she couldn't hold it any longer.
Renly and Matthew exchanged glances, and the expressions of weakness in complaining couldn't be more obvious..
Edith immediately caught the change in details, widened her eyes fiercely, and looked at the two people with threatening eyes, as if she was threatening: Don't speak! No protests allowed! No complaints allowed！
Then you can see Renly and Matthew quietly closing their mouths, their obedient looks becoming more sarcastic, which makes Edith even more embarrassed..
A quick exchange of glances, fleeting, but Chris didn't notice it at all. He stood up quickly, stood behind Edith with a caring expression, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here? Didn't you agree to this? Leave it to me? Don't worry about me. I'm fine..”
Edith shook her head slightly, "I thought you were over.”
Then Edith saw the confused expression on Chris's face, and she understood that Renly's cheerful smile and expression were actually hinting that the test was over, and he deliberately reassured her, so she took the initiative to come over; But Chris didn't know anything about it, which made Edith's heart sink slightly. She realized: Chris failed the test..
But on the surface, Edith remained calm and smiled again, "Don't worry. Neither Renly nor Matthew are outsiders.".”
Edith gave a slight gesture with her eyes to reassure Chris..
Then he looked at Renly and Matthew again, and heard Renly say happily, "You should know that we can hear all the whispers just now, right?"？”
Renly did it on purpose! Damn Renly！
