2149 Expose one's shortcomings
“Renly... Actually, I have already arrived at the coffee house, even earlier than you. I have been sitting in that corner, observing your every move..”
Ogos hesitated and struggled for a long time, but in the end he couldn't continue to deceive Renly and pretend that nothing happened. This was not his personality or his philosophy. This was not him. Although he also knew that he If the news comes out like this, the scene will definitely not look good, and he is not sure how Renly will view him, but he must be honest, otherwise he will become the kind of person he hates..
Gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, Ogus held the idea that "stretching one's head is the same as shrinking one's head", and thus completed the self-destruction in one go..
Then, Ogos could see a look of astonishment in Renly's eyes, which made him even more ashamed. His mind was filled with thoughts of running away, but he still straightened his back and told the whole story in a straight and clear manner, "I specially planned this meeting, just hoping to test you. I need to know what the actor I am about to work with looks like; no, no, no, I mean, I need to find an excuse to test you. I Thinking... No, I mean, you're not my first choice, but there's no way I can say no to Tessa……”
As he talked, Ogus became more and more flustered and incoherent. He didn't even know what he was saying - because speaking and conversation were not his strengths. If possible, he would try his best to avoid all social situations and just hope that Staying alone behind the camera tinkering with film reels.
He wanted to stop, but couldn't; he wanted to explain, but couldn't, and then he started to get angry with himself..
“…… Ogus, Ogus! "Renly also didn't know how to deal with it, because he was still not familiar with Ogos, but he could sense Ogos's annoyance - he was picking at his fingers continuously, and the dead skin on the edges of his fingers was torn apart. , making Renly strongly doubt whether blood would burst out in the next second. The suppressed and suppressed emotions were boiling. He had to do something, so he spoke..
Ogos reflexively raised his eyes to look at Renly, but his violently shaking pupils revealed his emotional restlessness. He interrupted Renly with some urgency, "I'm sorry." He paused and said it again. ,"……Feel sorry.”
Renly knew that he had to do something, otherwise the situation might be derailed. "I know." Ogus was puzzled, "I know that you arrived at the coffee house early, but deliberately hid your location. I also know. You're watching in secret, and while I'm not sure what your intentions are, it's obvious that you don't want to be discovered..”
“……”Ogus opened his mouth, then closed it, opened his mouth again, closed it again, and finally failed to suppress his curiosity, "...but why? Why didn't you tell me?？”
“You have your own reasons. You are the director, and I need to respect your choice. I think sooner or later you will tell me the answer - or you may not tell me, but I hope to play this role in this work, so I chose to stay calm. , maybe, I can meet the requirements and finally star in this work." Faced with Ogoth's truth, Renly also chose to be honest..
Looking at Ogus who was too stunned to react, Renly added, "So, you are considering your own interests, and I am also planning for my own interests. From this perspective, I have no guilt. , you don’t need to feel guilty, it’s only fair, isn’t it?？”
Ogos opened his mouth and was unable to react. He just stared at Renly blankly..
Renly suppressed his smile slightly and said solemnly to Ogoth, "Sorry, I pretended not to know anything. This is obviously not a noble move." He was surprised because he did not expect Ogoth to be so frank. He blew himself up. Now seeing Ogus taking things so seriously, he felt guilty..
Renly's calmness and sincerity showed that he was upright, which made Ogos wave his hands repeatedly, "No... you did nothing wrong, I started it first... you just..." This should be his mistake, because He launched a test, and after Renly saw through it, Renly responded. There was no need for Renly to apologize..
But Renly stopped Ogus with a smile, "As I said, there is no need for us to continue to struggle. I don't mind your test, and I hope you don't mind my reaction if you continue to apologize. , I feel that we may not be able to start work today." After a pause, Renly continued, "Personally, I hope we can talk about work, because I really want to play this role..”
Such simple and sincere words made Ogus couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head, and smiled shyly and embarrassedly..
This was the first time Ogus showed a smile since they met. At the same time, Ogus's chaotic emotions seemed to have settled down, and there was no longer the danger of "exploding at any time"..
Renly breathed out softly in his heart and relaxed. There were too many accidents this afternoon, and even he was inevitably a little confused - it was supposed to be conspiracy and calculation, but it turned into a true confession. The whole incident The direction and turns were a bit too fast and urgent. He was also full of questions and could only rely on his own instincts to react..
He really, really doesn't want to "explode" Ogus.
At this time, the waiter brought Ogus's black tea.
Renly also picked up his own coffee, guided him with practical actions, and asked with a smile, "Milk? Sugar?"？”
“Milk." Ogus picked up his black tea with both hands, cast a polite look at Renly, watched Renly add some milk for himself, gestured with his chin, "Thank you." and then took it. I picked up the tea cup, put it to my mouth and took a sip. The hot tea juice slid into my stomach, and my tense muscles relaxed. Now I finally found some sense of stability, and my mood and state have stabilized..
Ogus raised his eyes cautiously and shyly, glanced at Renly, and added again, "Thank you. I mean……”
Seeing that Ogos was about to continue explaining, Renly answered half-step ahead, "You're welcome..”
There were no extra words, but such a short and clear reply was enough. Ogus felt at ease again and smiled shyly at Renly..
Putting down the teacup carefully, Ogus was organizing his words, thinking about how to discuss the work "The Lobster", but he was still a little uneasy, "Renly, I'm sorry, I mean, wait, how did you find out? Mine? The coffee shop waiter? Or some other details? Sorry, I can't stop thinking. There are always many questions in my mind. I can't calm down if these questions are not answered..”
Renly couldn't help laughing, and he also put down the coffee cup..
“Oggs, you may be an excellent director, but you are not an excellent actor. At least, spy movies are probably not your style." Renly said in a gentle tone, without accusation or ridicule, or even joking or Ridicule, just stating a fact lightly.
Because Renly is not sure if now is the right time to joke, what if Oggoth collapses again?？
Ogus didn't smile, but asked extremely seriously, "Which part?" as if he was conducting a serious academic discussion..
Renly also showed a focused attitude, "No one would read a newspaper like that, holding it too high; and no one would keep moving the newspaper up and down, too often; of course, once or twice might be normal, but I noticed it at least three times... not to mention there was no sound of turning a newspaper the whole time..”
Before the last words came out, Renly paused for a moment, and Ogus was about to say something: he didn't know whether to defend or discuss, but he just felt that he should respond; then, Renly said the last words. , which shocked Ogus completely, "Are you a spy?"？”
“Ha, in a way, James Bond is also an actor." Renly answered in his own way..
Ogus is recalling carefully.
Renly's words were not over yet, "Before, I just had some doubts and guesses. In the final analysis, waiting is not difficult, so I stayed patient, but what really confirmed my thoughts was what happened after you stood up..”
Ogus's expression was a little awkward, "I was so sneaky when I left the coffee shop, wasn't I?？”
correct answer.
Ogus is a fat man, a slightly fat man. He is very burly. When he stood on tiptoes and leaned against the corner to leave the coffee shop, to be honest, it was not easy to ignore..
Renly didn't even need to raise his head to observe whether the other party was Ogoth. All it took was a slight disturbance, and Ogoth's movements would become stiff, which was more direct than a remote-controlled robot. This was an obvious signal..
But Renly didn't intend to complain about Ogos, he just smiled in return, and then continued, "The entire time interval from leaving to returning is too short; you did not change your coat, the goal is very obvious, it is easy to think of it, the most important thing yes……”
Before Renly could speak, Ogus said in frustration, "What else?" Those eyes stared at Renly like a lost puppy..
“I can stop here." Renly smiled and raised his hands in surrender..
Ogus hesitated for a moment, then straightened his back again, "No, I still want to know the result." Otherwise, he would not be able to settle down..
“After you entered the door, you didn't even look or observe, and walked directly in my direction, which means that you already knew where I was." Renly told the last detail and pieced together the entire puzzle. Complete - but in fact, such details are no longer important, because then Oggoth was already sitting in front of Renly.
However, Ogus was still shocked and didn't know how he should respond. He knew that he might have exposed some details, but he didn't know that he was full of loopholes. In other words, his behavior was seen through from the beginning. His secret observations made no sense at all. So, does his test of Renly still count?？
Thinking of this, the thoughts in Ogus's mind were a little confused, and he was stunned for a while..
