2319 future livelihood
Edith was sitting in the back seat, her hands folded on her chest, her gaze shifting back and forth between Renly and Paul, but she finally couldn't hold it back, "Paul, tell me the truth, why didn't you stop Renly? Is your life under threat? I think you can be honest with me..”
Paul, who was driving, secretly glanced at the rearview mirror, and his eyes moved back and forth between Renly and Edith, showing a troubled look..
In the end, Renly came to the rescue for the honest Paul. "If Paul's life is really threatened, then the threat effect still exists at this time. So, do you think he can tell the truth?"？”
Edith blinked, feeling that there was something in Renly's words, and then she realized it. She immediately turned to look at Renly, who was sitting side by side, "Wait, are you complaining about my IQ?"？”
Renly was noncommittal..
Edith rolled her eyes and said in a self-complaining way, "Yes, yes, after staying on the battlefield for a long time, my brain is not working well. My head is just a mess. Now I can't even do the most basic things." I can no longer see Renly's attack. What a stupid person I am..”
The thick sarcasm overflowed from the words, with a sense of reckless hostility..
Renly and Paul's eyes collided through the rearview mirror, and one could clearly detect Paul's panic and he didn't know what to do; but even Renly couldn't make an accurate judgment - because Edith Having just returned from the front, he could not be sure of her condition.
What if... what if Edith is really suffering from something similar to PTSD?？
Renly's eyes also showed some concern..
Edith, who became the center of attention, slowly opened the window, lit a cigarette, and said calmly, "So this is the pleasure of pranks? Now I finally understand the mood of those paparazzi, and I can catch them." The 'unique' Renly Hall has a great sense of achievement indeed.”
“……”silence.
Paul could notice a trace of helplessness in Renly's eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but his reaction speed was still a little slower, and he looked at Edith again, "Wait, were you pretending just now?？”
Edith pursed her lips and took a long drag on the cigarette, "Paul, you are truly an angel..”
“……”Paul blinked, "Oh, Edith！”
At this time Edith finally showed a smile and raised her shoulders high, "Why, you are allowed to play pranks, but you are not allowed to fight back?" Edith also felt a little guilty for deceiving Paul, "Paul, you I should think about it, if not now, what chance would I have of seeing Renly panic?？”
Thinking of this, Edith chuckled, "You should really see Renly's expression just now. Arthur would be crazy with jealousy if he knew about it.".”
Paul was stunned, and finally smiled helplessly, but his eyes were still worriedly cast towards Renly, "Renly？”
Renly, however, was calm and unaffected at all. To be honest, he was actually a little happy.：
Edith is able to play pranks and not forget to fight back in unexpected situations. This is a good thing. It is much better than the last time she returned..
Although it is still unclear what Edith's condition is, at least this is a positive sign.
However, Renly is Renly after all. Faced with such a situation, he also has his own way of handling it, "This is the window period after she returns to the ivory tower. It is not big, but it exists objectively. I think she will seize the opportunity.".”
There were so many highlights in this... words that Edith didn't know how to complain. In the end, she simply looked at Paul and said, "Paul, I'm 100% sure that this is a demon next to me. Excuse me, how did you become friends with him?？”
Paul said honestly, "Renly is also an angel, who can refuse him?"？”
Edith said: Okay, I surrender, this question is asked to the wrong person..
Edith put her cigarette out of the window and lightly lit the ashes. The ashes drifted sparsely in the wind. She looked sideways at Renly and said, "Although your character is not very good, the friends you have made are very outstanding.".”
“I agree with this." Renly also nodded solemnly in affirmation, "How about it, are you sure it doesn't matter?？”
It was a sentence without beginning or end, but Edith understood the deep meaning.：
The joke just now was a joke, but Renly was still worried about Edith's condition, and Edith also needed to really let Renly know about her condition, especially as she was about to attend the Oscars..
From the cruel frontline of the battlefield where artillery fire is raging, there is no food, and corpses are everywhere, to the social scene where flowers are blooming, people are wearing fragrant clothes, and people are drinking and drinking. Such a huge gap is a violent shock to anyone, and the mentality is violent. Change is inevitable, and it may even breed negative and dark emotions, which begin to distort little by little..
With this in mind, Renly couldn't help but start to wonder if he had made a bad proposal..
Edith did not answer immediately, but took a deep breath from the cigarette. The lingering smoke was blown away by the strong wind before it could spread in the car, leaving only a faint smell of tobacco, and then she couldn't help but feel it in her ears. The sounds of gunfire and artillery fire again, that's part of life.
“I'm not sure what will happen, I..." Edith hesitated for a moment, "Sometimes, I feel like I don't know myself, and then I start to have doubts. I guess... I still need help. But sometimes, I I thought, there are doctors and family members who can help me, but who can help those children and those innocent villagers? "Before she finished speaking, Edith showed a wry smile and complained to herself, "I know, this sounds really like a savior, trying to save the world without overestimating his capabilities, but after witnessing those scenes, I really have no choice. control.”
There was no other sound in the carriage. Renly and Paul both listened quietly..
“Sorry, Paul." Edith wasn't sure whether she was in the right state, but she was still a little uneasy about showing herself in front of Paul, and she wasn't sure whether Paul minded..
“Don’t mind me.” Paul replied repeatedly..
Edith took another drag on her cigarette, "Those words of yours, I actually thought about them over and over again when I was there. How many people can I help by just relying on my own strength? If I am just an ordinary person, photojournalist, then my lens is my weapon; but obviously, I have a more powerful weapon that can cause more damage and help more people. Maybe I should consider upgrading..”
“So...I don't know what will happen next, but I do know that I hope to help them, just like you helped me." Edith's words still revealed a trace of uncertainty - from the battlefield to the Oscars The changes are really too obvious and disturbing..
But her eyes were not afraid at all, and she cast bright and determined eyes on Renly, "I hope I can help.".”
After a moment of pause, Edith's smile rose again, "What's more, even if I am not Renly's sister, but Chris's girlfriend, I should not be able to escape the paparazzi's prying and tracking. So, I look forward to, I can be Edith Hall, a photojournalist, and I'm trying to change the world on my own.”
Renly didn't speak, but looked towards Edith with stern eyes, expressing his support with his eyes..
At this point, Edith immediately changed the topic, "What I'm more curious about now is whether Chris is so low-key that the paparazzi haven't disturbed my life so far..”
Such confusion makes people dumbfounded.
Renly did not joke or complain, but nodded his head in agreement with a serious face, "I also think you should worry about your future livelihood..”
The subtext is...are you worried about Chris losing his job?？
Edith's head was full of black lines, "Renly！”
Renly didn't say anything. He shrugged slightly and responded with silence: What I said is the truth. No matter how you protest, you can't change it..
Edith puffed on her cigarette and deliberately smashed her mouth, making a very rude noise to express her protest..
Even Paul could clearly feel the childishness that inadvertently leaked out. Edith was in a much better state this time. She didn't know if she had determined the direction and goal, and understood the direction of future efforts. It was like a nightmare. Edith's confusion and pain were relieved..
Paul also took the initiative to intervene in the conversation, "Chris, do you know you are about to attend the Oscars?"？”
“Yes, I told him." Edith replied matter-of-factly, "He will attend the ceremony as a guest of honor, and he also extended an invitation to me..”
Although the box office of "Captain America 2" in the summer did not break Marvel's own record, its reputation was very good, which also won Chris Evans a lot of praise. The Oscars have been trying to open up the young audience market, inviting Chris Evans to It would be a matter of course to attend the award ceremony..
“But you refused? "Paul was a little surprised.
Edith nodded in the affirmative without any hesitation, "Of course. He is just a friend to be determined, and Renly is a confirmed family member. How could I choose him?"？”
Paul immediately looked at Renly: Isn’t this what Renly said just now?？
Unexpectedly, Renly didn't buy it at all, "Are you deliberately trying to please me because I'm right next to you? I don't know who it is, but every time my boyfriend hangs around me, she acts like an old hen protecting her chickens. , circling around non-stop in a full posture. I am afraid that if something unexpected happens, my boyfriend may bump into it. People who don’t know may think it is a crystal Barbie doll..”
“Hey! Who do you think is the old hen? "Edith protested righteously, supporting her upper body with full posture, trying to show her advantage through "physical confrontation".
Renly is noncommittal: Whoever agrees is the one who agrees..
Paul, who was sitting in the driver's seat, watched all this silently through the rearview mirror, and the smile at the corner of his mouth could not help but rise slightly..
