426 stunned
???QU) 0#9???E`??c?ql=,DP?+6G?_?B?vp7r?W?e?Hv? G??The corridor was extremely quiet, and the echo of footsteps was invisible. Being magnified, Elliot tried to walk lightly, but did not slow down. His eyes were busy searching. At the same time, his head began to work quickly.\r
He has been walking around for fifteen minutes, but still hasn't gained anything. The entire hospital building is really big, so continuing around aimlessly like this is not an option. Looking for someone is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. He must think about it. A more effective screening method, perhaps, is to ask someone to inquire. This is a good idea. But who should I ask? \r
Nurse? Patient? Rehabilitation therapist? Cleaner? \r
As he sifted through the information in his mind one by one, Elliot suddenly paused in his steps. What did he catch with his peripheral vision just now? He took two steps back, looked to the right, and then saw Renly sitting on the bench.\r
The young man leaned on the back of the chair and raised his face. The afternoon sun lazily fell down, and light dust danced above the handsome eyebrows, casting a thin golden halo, and the outline of the facial features changed. It was so blurry that I could only capture the faint smile at the corner of my mouth. Time seemed to hang on the corner of that soft mouth, swaying wantonly, but never left.\r
Youth is young.\r
Elliot was stunned for a moment. He had almost forgotten that Renly was only twenty-one years old this year. Although everyone was emphasizing Renly's youth, in fact, Renly's grace and demeanor were always... It will make people forget his age. Until now.\r
After the daze, a wave of ecstasy swept over him, filling his chest. He had found it, and he had actually found it! \r
Elliot couldn't wait to rush forward, but before the joy could reach his brows, panic and fear stopped his steps abruptly. The sudden pause caused the soles of his shoes to rub against the ground with a sharp sound, and Elliot could only feel the blood. It immediately froze into ice, and the whole person was frozen in place, his eyes were about to burst, and his muscles were tense.\r
That's Renly Hall.\r
So far, Elliot has confronted Renly twice. The first time was after the Emmy Awards ceremony. He foolishly paid for the taxi and was abandoned outside the door of the celebration party. The security guards chased him everywhere; the second time was in Hawaii, Renly's calm and collected performance made him look like a clown, and he fled in embarrassment.\r
Although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, to be honest, he was a little afraid of Renly because he was not sure.\r
In fact, not only him, but also colleagues in the reporter circle - although reporters never regard paparazzi as colleagues - also think so. In the short year since Renly appeared in front of everyone, his relationship with reporters has changed. After many encounters, the reporter not only failed to take advantage, but was still at a disadvantage, and even found himself in a state of embarrassment.\r
Reporters who try to get revelations out of Renly often end up getting burned and have no time to worry about themselves. Rumor has it that reporters from "Entertainment Weekly" have repeatedly failed at the hands of Renly and have become the laughing stock of the industry. You know, the same "Entertainment Weekly" Weekly" is causing a lot of trouble for Natalie Portman recently.\r
Those vivid memories came to mind, and Elliot froze, thinking seriously about an extremely serious question: Is he out of his mind? He actually sent it to his door and came all the way to Seattle, asking for trouble? Could it be that he has masochistic tendencies? If he turned around and ran away now, would it be too late? \r
“Good afternoon, since you are already here, don't you want to say hello before leaving? ”\r
It's too late.\r
Hearing that warm and mellow voice, Elliot's muscles couldn't help but stiffen, and then he realized that he was still maintaining a fixed movement, which looked really funny, so he calmly retracted his movements and pretended not to care. After looking at it, there was still a trace of impulse deep in my heart: Wouldn't it be bad if I ran away now? \r
His eyes looked at Renly again, and then he saw him closing his eyes again, feeling the warmth of the sun, without any panic, sitting elegantly and quietly on the bench, his contented expression could be seen , he thoroughly enjoyed the rare tranquility of this lazy afternoon. This made Elliot puff up his chest a little and regain his courage——\r
He is the paparazzi, he is the stronger one. He does not need to be afraid of Renly at all. Not to mention his age advantage, he has control over both the pen and the camera. After the interview, it is up to him how he wants to write the article. Why should he worry about it? Renly is the one who needs to be careful.\r
He comforted himself and encouraged himself, then took steps and walked over.\r
Looking around, Elliot was a little hesitant. He didn't know how to position himself. If he stood like this, although the height advantage could give him a psychological advantage, for some reason, he always felt that he was a subordinate and Renly was his superior. The illusion; but if he sits down, where should he do it? \r
Elliot's eyes fell on the bench, which could seat at least four people. Renly sat on the left side, leaving a large space on the right side, which seemed to invite him to sit down.\r
Which artist would invite the paparazzi to sit down and have a long chat? \r
Elliot felt a little confused, but he still sat down, leaned as far to the right as possible, and cleared his throat, "...What are you doing here?" After the question was uttered, Elliot turned it over by himself. He rolled his eyes, this was really unprofessional at all. Even a newbie who had just started in the industry would not bring up such a boring topic without nutrition, so he quickly made up for it.\r
“I mean, why are you in Seattle? Shouldn't you be in Los Angeles? Not only did you miss most of the excitement of awards season, but you also missed the nominees luncheon. Not long ago, you just received your first Oscar nomination. You should be in the spotlight and enjoy the center of attention. It's not like sitting here...basking in the sun. If you want to bask in the sun, you'll have plenty of time when you're Al Pacino's age."\r
“Do you have a problem with Al Pacino? "Renly's rhetorical question made Elliot stunned, his eyes widened, and he didn't know how to respond. He just said a lot of long words, and this is Renly's response? This...this...\r
Renly opened his eyes. He just closed his eyes and rested for a while, basking in the warm sun. The coldness in his limbs gradually dissipated, the tense muscles began to slowly ease, and the boiling feeling in his internal organs slowly subsided. Although My head still hurts, but I finally feel better.\r
Looking at Elliot who appeared in sight, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He recognized it immediately. This was the paparazzi. Although he had no intention of cooperating with the paparazzi in the interview, nor was he exposed. I mean my own private life, but after going through everything just now, and now seeing a familiar face, I feel a little warm inexplicably——\r
Elliot's appearance reminded him that he was Renly. Not Adam, not Chu Jiashu, but Renly.\r
Renly didn't respond to Elliot's intention, so he simply ignored a large part of what he just said and asked back, "So, what are your guesses?"\r
After joining the crew, he basically stopped reading newspapers. Nathan would still be on time every day and keep in touch with Andy on the phone, but if it was not an important situation, Nathan would not relay it. Therefore, Renly really has some knowledge about the situation in Hollywood. A section is broken.\r
Elliot looked at Renly blankly, then reacted, rolled his eyes, and answered in a question, "Then why did you show up at the hospital?"\r
Renly didn't say anything, but raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that Elliot's focus would be on the "hospital".\r
But Elliot thought he had grasped the key point, so he asked aggressively, "Why do you look so weak? Are you sick?" Elliot glanced down and saw Renly's arm. "Are you receiving treatment? What's going on with you?" \r
Interesting, really interesting.\r
As someone with a background in journalism, Renly couldn't help but find it interesting. If he became a reporter instead of an actor, what would Hollywood look like in his eyes? \r
“Your eyes are a little excited, so are you expecting me to be seriously ill and then report exclusive news? Is this why you came all the way to Seattle? "Renly said with great interest. In that teasing tone, it was hard to tell whether he was affirming or denying.\r
Elliot choked. He nodded and shook his head to Renly's question. He was now in a dilemma. Although he was shouting in his heart: Yes, that's it; but when Renly teased him like this, he was in a dilemma. Suddenly I felt ashamed, "Uh..." \r
Renly chuckled, seemingly amused by Elliot's response, "What did my agent say? Didn't you ask for official information?" \r
“Andy said you were filming a production." Elliot responded reflexively. As a paparazzi, his reaction ability is one of his advantages, but every time he is in front of Renly, this advantage seems to be unable to be used. Mainly Or maybe it's because Renly's answer is so unpredictable.\r
“Then I am filming a work." Renly's affirmative answer made Elliot blink his eyes, and his suspicious look became more intense - this sounded like perfunctory, "I know, relatively speaking, being seriously ill, even terminally ill, makes the news better, but I disappoint you."\r
Elliot had the urge to cry. He felt that he was being teased by Renly, seriously! He doesn't know now what is true, what is false, and what the facts are! Renly is simply acting like a rogue! \r
“Or is it that at a critical moment during the awards season, you left Los Angeles and came to Seattle just to cover this work I was filming? Want to dig out some scoops and promote our work? If that's the case, I'm so touched."\r
Seeing the indifferent smile on Renly's face, Elliot wanted to go home
