400 emergency call
It's late at night, and Derek and Heather are finally leaving..
Escorting Derek and Heather to the street outside, Derek drove the car over, and then Renly stepped forward to help. He helped Heather stand up; Paul folded the wheelchair and put it in the back seat. On the seat.
For the sake of convenience, Renly directly hugged Heather around the waist and put the princess into the passenger seat. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed Heather's slightly shy expression. Renly laughed dumbly and joked, "Only once today, next time For once, you still have to walk with your own two feet..”
Heather couldn't help biting her lower lip and glared at Renly fiercely. But in the end, she still couldn't hold on and laughed immediately..
Looking at Renly's profile, which was close at hand, Heather said seriously, "Do you know why I like music so much?" Renly was looking for the seat belt, but he couldn't help but paused and cast a doubtful gaze. , Heather continued, "Because when the musical notes are flowing, I will realize that there are some things that the darkness cannot take away from me..”
Renly was in a daze, savoring these words carefully, only to find that his mouth was filled with bitterness..
“Renly. Thank you." The sound of Derek closing the car door interrupted Renly's thoughts, "Thank you very much today..”
Derek said sincerely. Although they didn't mention it deliberately, he knew that the song just now had special meaning and was definitely not performed casually. What's more, throughout the whole day today, thanks to Renly, from You can tell from Heather's expression that she is very happy.
Renly fastened his seat belt quickly, then smiled at Derek and said teasingly, "Next time, the charge won't be so cheap." This made both Derek and Heather laugh out loud..
Heather turned to look at her father, then looked at Renly again, and whispered, "I will not give up." Only she and Renly could hear it..
Renly understood this meaningless sentence - it came from the lyrics of the song just now, and it also came from the determination deep in Heather's heart..
Renly didn't know where the ALS disease would lead, but he knew that if he gave up, there would be nothing..
After Derek and Heather left, Lily also went home. Although she was very reluctant and reluctant to leave, it was really too late today. She had better go back early, otherwise her mother would die. Got it.
Looking at the upright Renly, the camel-colored trench coat was rustling in the cold wind of the night. The unique charm and temperament in the night made people unable to take their eyes away. Lily stood in the taxi Next to him, he couldn't help but pause for a moment while sitting in, and shouted loudly, "Has anyone ever told you that you are an outstanding artist?？”
This sudden sentence, with no connection between the previous paragraph and the following paragraph, made people confused. The corners of Renly's mouth couldn't help but slightly raised, "Never say this to strangers casually, and it's almost midnight." when.”
This light joking made Lily's cheeks heat up a little, and she shouted loudly, "I'm serious." After saying that, Lily got into the taxi, closed the door, and signaled to the driver that he could drive..
But after hesitating for a moment, Lily couldn't help but turned around and looked through the rear window. From a distance, she could see：
The smile on the corner of Renly's mouth was like the curling smoke, mysterious and unpredictable in New York at midnight, exuding a fatal charm; Paul standing next to him smiled brightly, as if falling on the blue A ray of sunshine above the waves, even the dark night cannot cover up its light.
The two people re-entered the pioneer village talking and laughing. Until the two figures disappeared one after another, Lily was still reluctant to look back. Then the taxi turned a corner and entered another street. Her line of sight was completely cut off, and she was satisfied. He turned around with regret, leaned back on the chair, and sighed heavily..
Returning to the Pioneer Village, Renly saw a familiar figure at the bar - George Slender..
Neil stood at the bar and waved cheerfully towards Renly, then pointed at George with a proud look on his face..
Renly noticed that George was holding a mobile phone in his hand and was watching a video. He knew without looking that it must be the performance video just now. Neil was also one of the important supporters of Renly's album, so naturally he would not miss every moment easily. a good opportunity.
Seeing George's concentration on his back, Renly couldn't help but laugh, and took the initiative to step forward and say hello, but George didn't want to pay attention to Renly at all, but carefully savored the video of the performance just now, which made Renly a little bit dumbfounded..
Before Renly could defend himself, George said in a rough voice, "What, are you planning to enter the recording studio tomorrow? If not, then leave quickly and don't disturb me watching the performance. It's really not interesting at all.".”
With such a cursing and outspoken look, Renly could only show his hands, which made both Niall and Paul extremely happy..
Renly and Paul sat down again, ordered more beers, and stayed in the bar until about two o'clock in the morning. Then they left the pioneer village and took a leisurely walk home. Since Paul was now penniless, tonight Will temporarily stay at Renly's house.
“In addition to surfing and rock climbing, I can’t tell that you are also an excellent musician.” Paul exclaimed with a smile. His choice of words was very interesting. It can be heard that he is a musician, not a singer or a performer. Paul is surprised by Renly's creative talent.
Renly didn't defend himself, just spread his hands, "I can't be said to be a good surfer, at least not in front of you..”
This joke made Paul laugh heartily, but then his mind settled down, and he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. Renly did not speak, and the two of them walked slowly like this, and a long time passed. Yes, Paul's voice broke the silence again, "Next time you perform, can I bring my daughter to watch it?？”
Renly was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded directly and said with a smile, "Of course, I extend my sincere welcome.".”
Paul twitched his lips and smiled again.
Paul was not married, but he had a daughter with his ex-girlfriend. Both of them were too young at the time, and Paul was only twenty-four years old. He did not know how to be a parent. After a fierce argument, both sides were hurt and they had no choice but to break up. Later, his ex-girlfriend took care of him. He took his daughter to Hawaii while he stayed in Los Angeles..
Time flies, twelve years have passed, and he and his daughter have almost no chance to get along, let alone talk. This is also an important reason why he went to Oahu, Hawaii before. Every year, he will stay there for some time , trying to communicate with my daughter, but...it's still too difficult after all.
The song just now, to Paul's ears, told his story, and he felt sad in his heart..
There was a hint of sadness in Paul's eyes. Even the brightest person has his own softness in his heart. His daughter has always been a regret in his heart. He has never opened his heart to anyone else, even when facing Renly. , and he was not ready to reveal his true feelings. Fortunately, Renly did not ask.
“What was the name of the song just now? "Paul couldn't hold it back and asked curiously.
Renly thought carefully before replying, "'Carry-On）’.”
Paul chewed carefully, and the smile on his lips rose again. The brisk and happy melody once again echoed in his mind. The late night in New York was extremely cold, and the wind was raging, but his chest was filled with warmth. The flames, the steps seem to become lighter.
Opening the door, Paul looked at Renly's apartment curiously. It was elegant yet personal, with bookshelves filled with books in the corners, an old-fashioned gramophone next to the sofa, and log furniture everywhere.……
“Just feel free to treat this place as your own home." Renly went straight forward and opened the closet. As he was talking, his cell phone started to ring, but Renly ignored it and rummaged carefully, and sure enough he found it. Prepared bath towels, toothbrushes and other toiletries, "You go take a shower first. It's been a tiring day today, and now you can finally relax.".”
Compared to Renly, Paul had really experienced an extremely long day, and New York expressed his warm welcome in such a special way..
Paul was a little distracted listening to the continuous ringing of his cell phone, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?？”
Renly came over and put the toiletries on the back of the sofa. "If there is something urgent, I will call again; if not, just leave a message." After explaining casually, Renly pointed to the back of the screen. direction, "The bathroom is over there, don't worry, I won't peek.”
One sentence immediately made Paul burst out laughing..
Renly then picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Andy. "It's three o'clock in the morning New York time. You'd better have a valid reason." After picking up the phone, Renly replied directly..
Andy chuckled softly, "Judging from your voice, it seems you are still awake, so that's great." Andy was still in Boston at this time, and it was in the same time zone as New York, so he knew it clearly. "There was an emergency just now. To put it simply, a crew found me. I hope you can temporarily take on the next role. The leading role, a small-budget, independent film, comedy, to test your acting skills. I think you will definitely like it..”
A few simple keywords immediately aroused Renly's interest, "Oh, tell me more specifically..”
“The situation is more complicated to explain. To sum up, the crew and James McAvoy have signed a contract, but he broke the contract and resigned due to personal reasons - actually, the filming schedule conflicted with the promotion plan of 'X-Men' .Now, the crew is ready, and the filming will start in five days, but the male protagonist suddenly opens the skylight, and the crew is paralyzed. So, they found me, at three o'clock in the morning.”
Andy's words were still unhurried, with both complaints and highlights, and he explained things clearly in just a few words..
“They think you are the best successor for this role; in my opinion, you are more suitable than James. Just leave it to me as to the schedule. 'Transcendence' will go ahead as planned, so you don't have to worry; wait a while, they We will call you and talk to you directly. You can take a look and make a judgment. How is it? Do you still have any questions?？”
