308 snail girl
After closing the taxi door, Renly raised his head and looked at the ancient and simple building in front of him, but his eyes were full of unfamiliarity..
This is the new apartment Andy rented for him before. He moved here after the Toronto Film Festival. But after that, he went to Telluride first, then to Los Angeles and London to shoot "Crazy Love", and then It's "Fast and Furious 5". For nearly four months, he has been running around. He has lived here for less than a week..
Renly didn't even remember the address of the apartment, so he asked Andy temporarily, thus avoiding the embarrassment of not finding his home. After thinking about it carefully, Renly could vaguely recall that the interior decoration of the apartment was simple and elegant, but the specific details were only There is only a blur of light and shadow left. It feels like this place is not as familiar as the B&Bs on Oahu..
“Which floor is it from?？”
Following the fragmented and fuzzy memories, Renly's footsteps finally stopped at the door on the third floor. The reddish-brown carved iron door in front of him seemed a bit impressive, but he was also a little confused. Shouldn't it be a heavy dark brown wooden door?？
There is a dark gray carpet at the door, and a potted evergreen plant is placed next to it. These places are excellent choices for hiding keys, but Renly never puts keys here. He raised his right hand and touched it on the lintel. Touching it, he found a vintage copper key. Every time he traveled far away, he would put the key in the same place - this was the case in Knightsbridge, London, the previous shared house was like this, and the new house was still like this..
Use the key to unlock the door and push the heavy iron door to the side. The strange and familiar scene inside the house appeared in front of you. Then Renly couldn't help but stop. His mind was filled with questions: This is his home. ?？
The surrounding decoration is indeed what he remembered. He still clearly remembers the exposed iron pipes above the living room on the right; a wardrobe in front serves as a partition to preserve the privacy of the bedroom and bathroom; mainly black and navy blue The tone of the kitchen... These details awakened the memory in my mind. It was indeed what it looked like when he moved in..
However, the whole house is neat and quiet. Not only is there no dust accumulation, but all items are arranged in an orderly manner..
Here's the problem. After he moved, all the cardboard boxes were in the same place without being opened. He originally planned to sort them before going to Telluride, but he still didn't sort them. All the items were kept and packed. pattern, placed in the open space of the hall.
When he came back, he was still thinking that there must be dust in the house, and the other person's things in the box must have been "suffocated". Thinking of having to pack his luggage after returning home, his brain couldn't help but feel a dull ache..
Now, all the boxes are gone, replaced by a clean and tidy house——
The huge bookshelf on the right side of the bedroom is now filled with all kinds of books. Guitars and keyboards are stored in boxes and leaning against the bookshelf.……
On the black cabinet behind the sofa, all his vinyl records are placed in layers. The middle layer is empty and contains various gadgets collected during the filming of "War in the Pacific". Bullet casings, animal teeth given by local aborigines while surfing on the Gold Coast, and Peking Opera ceramic figurines collected by an antique shop owner in London……
There is a stack of log tea coasters placed on the coffee table, and next to it are several boxes of matchboxes from different bars and motels. His laptop is also placed neatly in the center.……
Go straight forward and pull out the wardrobe that serves as a partition screen. The front row is for hanging, with all the shirts and suits hung up neatly; the back row is for storage in a diamond-shaped grid, and T-shirts are rolled up. Cylindrical towels are placed in the grid one by one, and casual jackets and jeans are neatly stacked and placed in the grid in an orderly manner.……
Renly was sure he didn't put this together himself..
There are many things that he is not good at, and sorting and storage is one of them. In his last life, Ding Yanan helped, and in this life, he had servants to help him. He once tried to do it himself, but the effect was really disastrous, and others had to start over. Doing it again only increased the workload. So he gave up..
So, what's going on? Andy? It makes sense to say that people are regularly sent over to clean things up, but it is impossible to unpack luggage and tidy up the room. If Andy plans to help tidy up, he has provided one-stop service when he moved before, which is not possible at all. No need to wait until later.
I sat down on the sofa, took out my cell phone, and dialed a phone number..
The phone only rang twice before it was picked up. A voice with a faint smile came from the other end, "I have an ominous premonition. You didn't call when you were in London last time. Why did you think of it today?" Called me？”
“You're still the same. Why didn't you call me when you got to New York? "Renly relaxed his body muscles and adjusted to a comfortable sitting position. He liked this sofa because it could be used as a bed, and it would not remind him all the time that he needed to maintain the dignity and etiquette of a noble..
“How did you know I was in New York?？”
“Because I'm sitting at my home now." Renly's answer made the other party stunned, and then there was a burst of accelerated footsteps at the door, and then Matthew Dunlop's figure appeared at the door. He hung up. After picking up the phone and looking at Renly lying on the sofa, his smile couldn't help but rise, "Elizabeth and George will probably smash the blue and white porcelain dishes in anger when they see you like this..”
“This is New York, not London." Renly raised his eyebrows nonchalantly..
Matthew placed his briefcase on the kitchen table, then hung his coat on the hanger at the door. He also hung up Renly's coat that was left on the back of the sofa. Then he hung up the single sofa next to it. Sitting down, "How did you know I arrived in New York?" This question was raised for the second time..
“No one would hang shirts in order from light to dark, and no one would arrange books and vinyl records in alphabetical order. Except you." Renly complained with disgust on his face..
Matthew is a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia. Everything must be arranged in a certain order, otherwise he will go crazy. His room now has a distinct "Matthew characteristic", and the two of them have known each other for almost a lifetime. , how could he not recognize it?？
“How did you know my home address? Even I don't remember it myself." This was the topic that Renly was really curious about. He raised his head and glanced at Matthew, "Did you call Andy? But how did you convince him? He shouldn't reveal my personal information at will..”
As Renly said, Andy is the only one who knows the address here, and no one in the pioneer village knows it. If it is not Andy, it means that Arthur found his address through investigation, although he Not worried, but this is not good news.
Matthew elegantly put his right leg on his left knee, and a smile appeared on his face. For once, he was able to stump Renly, "Your script. When we were in Notting Hill, I asked you, What is that line in the script? You told me.”
Renly thought about it carefully, and it should be the script of "Crazy Love". When he left London, "Fast and Furious 5" had not yet been negotiated, and he thought he would go home directly after finishing the filming in Los Angeles. .So, he asked Andy once for the address of his new home..
“Don't worry, Arthur didn't ask me about you." Without any extra explanation, Matthew understood Renly's concerns, "However, you should know that if they are willing to inquire, you don't have much advantage..”
“"Buried Alive" has been in the limelight during the awards season, and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards have also paid a lot of attention. Many British media believe that this work has a good chance of occupying a place. Along with this, Renly's face has also appeared frequently. on major newspapers and magazines.
Renly pursed his lips, "Don't worry, they won't open the entertainment section, even if it's the Times." This made Matthew chuckle, "So, are you here on a business trip or staying temporarily?？”
“I think it's time to leave London." Matthew said succinctly, "Remember Clive-Reader from law school? The one from Bristol.”
The method used by the British royal family to identify and remember strangers is very simple. Adding the surname and hometown can often trace the origin..
Cliff Reed was born as a commoner, but he had outstanding social skills and impressive oral skills. During college, he was very successful and successfully entered the circle of aristocratic children, although it was only They are just fair-weather friends. After graduation, they will embark on completely different paths, but this feat is still very rare..
Now it seems that capable people are indeed popular everywhere. Even if they leave the society, they still make their way into the world..
“He opened a law firm in New York, and he had two other old acquaintances. Charles from the Dormer family was also one of the senior partners. They invited me, so I came over." In a few words, Ma said Xiu explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and Renly could complete the whole story by himself..
“What a smart guy. Is he interested in your ability or your connections? "Renly got to the heart of the matter unerringly..
Matthew slightly raised the corners of his lips and asked nonchalantly, "Is there any difference?"？”
Renly laughed dumbly and nodded in agreement, "Welcome to New York. To express my welcome, I think I will give you this sofa and allow you to continue to live in my apartment..”
“Thank you." Matthew rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, then pointed in the direction above his head, "My apartment is above yours, but I still appreciate your generosity in giving up the sofa..”
Renly spread his hands and said seriously, "There is no way. I am naturally so generous and willing to share. This should be the only advantage that Elizabeth likes about me..”
