2078 blow the horn
“knock knock.”
“knock knock.”
Matthew raised his hand and knocked on the door. Although he knew that there was a high probability that Renly would not respond, he still stood at the door and waited for a while, then opened the door of the room, and the blackout curtains were tightly closed to block the outside world. All the halo of light was blocked, only a hazy blue shimmer was revealed, just like being in the abyss of the sea. I couldn't help but open my eyes wide and start to explore the mystery in the halo. The warm air was The room was surging, giving people the comfort and comfort of soaking in a hot spring, and their muscles relaxed..
Turning on the night light at the door, Matthew went straight to the window, pulled open the three-layer thick curtain, and "teared" it, and the gray light spilled all over the floor.——
Although it is still a cloudy day outside, with layers of clouds and mist blocking out the sun, the colors of early winter are already filling the air before autumn has officially entered. Large tracts of gray linger between the streets and buildings, and the world feels gloomy. Quiet; but the thin light still dyed the dim light in the room with a light milky white, it seemed that even the cold and solemn air was quietly spreading, making me shiver..
“……”There was an indistinct murmur from the bed. When I turned around, I could see Renly with the quilt covering his head, squirming like a spring silkworm. Only then could he faintly detect a hint of childishness, completely without his usual arrogance. He Qinglian, expressing dissatisfaction in his way.
“Renly, you have to get up." Matthew stood at the end of the bed. The answer was that a pillow flew directly towards him. He dodged it familiarly, and then repeated again, "Renly, it's time to get up..”
“Give me another five minutes." Renly's hoarse voice came out from under the quilt, lazily and sleepy, and his thick nasal voice revealed the sleepiness of not having enough sleep..
Matthew didn't urge Renly anymore. When he turned around, he could see Renly's clothes and slippers piled on the ground. He couldn't help but bend down to pick them up one by one, and then sorted out all the messy documents on the desk - even though he knew Renly. For nearly twenty years, he had long been accustomed to Renly's informality, but every time he did this, he was still full of confusion: How on earth could that guy mess up the house in one night?？
This can also be regarded as an ability, right?？
Using small appliances such as folders and partition boards, Matthew organized the entire desk clearly. All items were classified into categories and placed neatly one by one according to type, content, year, author, etc. Only then did the original appearance of the desk appear. appearance, the entire visual effect is much refreshed.
Turning around, he found scattered documents on the sofa and lounge chair indoors. Matthew stood there and paused for a moment, then walked forward again, packed up the letters, glanced at them quickly, and then You can see that Renly is familiar with himself, writing in a leisurely manner.：
“When others return home, I still walk on the road until I reach the other side (The-Other-Side), or I achieve nothing.”
Matthew paused slightly, feeling the collision of those words between his lips and teeth, and finally repeated, "Come-Undone", the ordinary words were reduced to simplicity, telling The stubbornness and sadness hidden deep in the soul.
When everyone else has returned home, he is still walking alone on the road of chasing his dreams, looking forward to reaching the other side of the world and never looking back without hitting the wall. Maybe it’s because he refuses to compromise or surrender, maybe it’s because of his choice. Giving up means rejecting himself, maybe because... he has no harbor to return to, so all he can do is to continue running until he reaches the other side..
“The-Other-Side? "Matthew raised his voice.
After waiting for a moment, Renly's voice came out muffledly from the quilt, "Belong to my side.".”
This made a smile appear on Matthew's lips, "I thought it was the other side of George and Elizabeth's opposition..”
Renly lifted the quilt, but still lay on the same spot, staring at the ceiling above his head, "The original idea is like this, it is to achieve success, realize dreams, and create glory on the other side, because there are only frustrated and losers. Only then will he stay on this side and refuse to admit defeat to himself..”
“But then I realized that I think differently from them, and have completely different definitions of success and dreams. I don’t want to go to the other side of their opposition. My world should not be based on their standards. So, I will follow At your own pace, go to the side that belongs to me.”
Renly's voice was still a little hoarse and lazy, and his words lost their usual sonority, but the tenacity and determination hidden in them remained the same..
Then, Renly hugged the quilt and turned to look in the direction of Matthew. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It was just an essay from last night. The melody has not been matched yet. Poetry is not like poetry or prose. It's not like prose or essay, it should be full of question marks when reading..”
“New album? "Matthew asked, hearing Renly's hoarse "hmm", and he continued, "I remember that you also have a folder in New York, all of which are your creations, many of which are unfinished. I’ve written half or a few lines, are you sure you don’t need to fill them in completely?？”
“Ha. Don't remind me about this." Renly buried his head in the pillow and complained dully, "I don't have time. I think the new album may have to be released. Ah, it turns out that I am not suitable to be a singer or a composer. Albums and stuff, it’s really torture, I don’t even have a concept.”
“……”Matthew’s head is full of black lines, “The drafts left in New York should be more than the weight of an album.？”
“The number of songs is indeed the same, but they don't necessarily fit in the same album. I need a theme, and the creation so far is still relatively scattered." Renly said honestly, "Either complete the creation sincerely, or just do it. Give up, otherwise you will just consume fans.”
Matthew nodded gently and did not continue to argue. Regarding artistic creation, Renly was the party with the right to speak, and he was the party of the general public. Thinking of this, Matthew suddenly became curious, "... can i join your side？”
“You have always been on my side." Renly answered without any hesitation, with a slight smile in his voice..
Matthew looked away, and then saw Renly's shining eyes, which seemed to be reflecting the stars in the sky. He paused, "...can't you regret it?？”
“Sorry, there is no way out." Renly's eyes widened, his face full of innocence but extremely firm..
Matthew just nodded slightly, "Okay." This made Renly laugh happily, and Matthew then said, "It's time to get up. How are you, are you ready?？”
“Of course." Renly said lightly, "I don't think there's anything special about today. It's just like the past week, it's a brand new day..”
Matthew stuffed the letter in his hand into the folder on the desk and said casually, "Then we have to speed up. There is another busy day ahead..”
“……Okay." This time it was Renly's turn to pause and said helplessly..
It has been a week since he arrived in London. During this period of time, Renly did not stop to adjust. He started to move without stopping, sounding the clarion call for his return..
However, Renly's strategy and method were very special. He did not appear in high-profile parties or public places, but appeared in private clubs or art galleries one after another. He did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, nor did he specifically cater to The invitation to the event is just like returning to London this time, it is purely a vacation; moreover, it is not a secret vacation, and the relevant itinerary can always be found out as long as you are interested..
