837 Talking nonsense
The peaked cap slightly blocked her view, but Rooney could still see the flash of smile in Renly's eyes. She raised her chin proudly and shook her head slightly, "A date? Jesus Christ, you are really a narcissist. Guy. So, do we feel familiar now? Repeat the conversation we had when we first met?？”
Renly shrugged his shoulders unhurriedly and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Otherwise, is there any other explanation?" For the unexpected encounter between the two people at this time and here..
“ha! Rooney laughed exaggeratedly, then blinked narrowly, "How do you know?" After the concert, I followed you all the way to here. How was it? Were you scared? "Go with the flow and go with the flow.".
“Well..." Renly made a meaningful voice and dragged, "It was a long journey, thank you for your hard work." That look of relief was the best way to fight back, and Rooney couldn't help but feel relieved. He bit his lower lip lightly and tried to explain, but found that no matter whether he explained or not, or how he explained, he seemed to have fallen into the pit.——
And he dug it himself.
Rooney couldn't help but wrinkled her nose, snorted softly, secretly grinded her teeth, and said coldly, "Be careful, I will follow you home!" The calm words revealed a deep chill..
On the surface, she pretended to be calm, but her eyes quietly shifted a little, hiding her inner panic. But then, Rooney met Renly's gaze again, forcing herself to be calm, narrowing her eyes slightly, as if she was being condescending. He looked around, then caught Renly's calm eyes..
There was no special fluctuation, but Rooney felt the teasing and ridicule hidden deep in her eyes, which made her roll her eyes inwardly, then raised her chin and gestured, "What author?"？”
Renly raised the book in his hand and showed the cover to Rooney, "John Williams.”
“Stoner." Rooney frowned slightly. She was also a book lover, but had never read this book. This made Rooney slightly excited, because she knew that Renly's taste was trustworthy. Now that Renly is reading, that means she can add some new works to her reading list, "About What?"？”
“About the reality of life." Renly pondered for a moment and made the simplest summary, "I think it essentially touches on the gap between the ideal life of foreseeing expectations and the real life of real experience. You know, just It seems that everything that really happens in life exists, but you and I cannot see the truth hidden behind it..”
“Wow." Rooney raised her eyebrows, her sharp eyebrows raised high, adding a touch of playfulness to her heroic temperament, "Similar to 'love in the time of cholera'? "Love in the Time of Cholera", another masterpiece by Nobel Prize winner Garcia-Marquez besides "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
“Oh, no, Marquez's works are more magnificent. Williams's works are very simple, even bluntly simple." Renly chuckled, "Have you read Hermann-Hesse?？”
After Rooney nodded in agreement, Renly also nodded in agreement, "But the spiritual core of the novel is similar to Hesse. Stoner, this is the name of the protagonist. The whole novel tells the story of his Throughout his life, a brave man has a life of failure but not disappointment. Because he knows that even if he cannot have a perfect life, fortunately, at least he has pursued a complete self..”
Rooney nodded meaningfully, neither speaking in a hurry nor pretending to understand. After chewing carefully and repeatedly, she raised her head and looked at Renly again, "So, this is today - oh, midnight It’s already passed, so that’s why yesterday’s concert was held？”
After a slight pause, Rooney added, "Don Quixote？”
Renly couldn't help but was stunned. Those memory fragments were replayed in his mind again, and time began to rewind.：
Heather's renewed excitement and high spirits, every bit of the concert, Heather's depression and dullness in coma, her efforts for "American Idol", her persistence in pursuing her dreams, and "Don Quixote" The birth of the album "De"……
My eyes fell on the book in my hand again. I originally thought that this was just a book I picked casually, but is it possible that this is actually a reflection of my subconscious mind?？
A smile flashed across his eyes. Renly neither admitted nor denied, "Life is often full of unknowns and ups and downs. When dreams and reality collide, it is often the dreams that hit the rocks. But instead of holding on to a regret and doing nothing, It is better to spend your life in vain; it is better to break your head and bleed on the road of trying. At least, you can make some noise..”
Those joking words brought a hint of relief and ease, and the uninhibitedness and wildness of the game concealed the determination to move forward. "Don Quixote." Rooney repeated the name again. After listening to the concert, she heard album, it wasn’t until now that she truly understood the meaning of the album’s title.
Failed, but not disappointed.
Between her lips and teeth, she chewed carefully several times again. Rooney raised her head and looked at Renly quietly..
Rooney is not a person who gossips, but deep down, like every onlooker and stranger, she is filled with countless curiosity about this heated incident: What is the "One Man Concert"? What's going on? Is Heather Cross' condition real? Which one is right, Entertainment Weekly or The New York Times?？
No asking, this is education.
But at this moment, looking at the man in front of her, without asking or exploring, Rooney already has the answer..
She knew that the song "Say You Won't Give Up" was a song of vulnerability and earnestness that truly touched the soul; she knew that "A One Man Concert" was never the planned itinerary; she knew that the New York Times report was authentic and credible.
More importantly, she knows that Renly Hall is not a person who is keen on hype. He was not before, and he is not now; in the future, she hopes that he will still be not..
There was a moment when Rooney curiously tried to directly ask the questions in her heart. Instead of making random guesses, it was better to ask directly and judge by the answers, expressions and attitudes of the person involved; but now, it is no longer necessary..
Establishing trust is not easy, but it is also not difficult. Sincerity, sincerity, and sincerity are the key..
“Can you tell me how the song 'Cleopatra' was composed? Rooney's eyes brightened, "Tonight, I communicated with many listeners, and they all said that there is an interesting story behind this song. How did you originally think of creating such a song, and why did you choose In this way - you know, lyrics and melody are two completely different emotions？”
“Ha, what I'm more curious about is that I never told the story behind it, so how did they know it? "Renly frowned slightly, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately had the answer, "Oh, it should be the Pioneer Village..”
“Pioneer Village? "One more topic Rooney is interested in is added..
……
The two of them sat cross-legged in the aisle of laundry detergent and washing powder, chatting with each other, starting from music, to the pioneer village, and then to the Mount Sinai Hospital that appeared inadvertently - Rooney was very interested in this, The two chatted about Heather, Anne, and Alex, which unexpectedly became the main content of the conversation..
Then, the topic turned to the movies they were most familiar with, and finally returned to the city of New York—and right back to the piled cart in Rooney’s hand..
“Have you decided? Which laundry detergent to choose? "Renly looked at the laundry detergents lined up in front of him like tens of thousands of flags, and asked with a chuckle. Then seeing Rooney's troubled expression, he added, "I thought you all just put your clothes on." Throw it into the washing machine and dryer. There is no need to wash it by hand. I don't quite understand the need to study the ingredients. What's more, isn't it the dry cleaner's job to make truly delicate clothes?？”
Rooney suddenly opened her mouth and said seriously, "Then why did I think about it for so long?"？”
Renly shrugged, "Because you're trying to date me.？”
Such a response made Rooney bite her lower lip, but she still couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from rising. She lowered her head and laughed softly, causing her shoulders to shrug slightly. She finally restrained her smile and said seriously, "This is not Dating. Remember when we first met, we discussed this topic?.”
Renly pointed to the row of laundry detergent in front of him, then spread his hands, as if to say: If this isn't proof, then I don't know what is..
Rooney shrugged her shoulders slightly again for a while, laughed dumbly, and reiterated solemnly, "I know, this sounds like a routine. But, I really have no interest in dating now, and I hope to pursue my career with all my strength. .You should also know clearly that the work of an actor is very energy-consuming and physical, and there is almost no private time to do other things. Since entering Hollywood, I have not dated. You know, there are really too many things. too much……”
“You mean, those actors who are dating, or even engaged, or married, are not working seriously? "Renly frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right about the conversation..
Rooney opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a moment, then slowly and slowly closed her upper and lower jaws, "Yes, that's what I meant..”
Renly nodded meaningfully to express his understanding and did not continue to speak, but his strange expression seemed meaningful, which made Rooney helplessly laugh again, "Or do you think we are dating?？”
Rooney raised her right hand and gave instructions back and forth between the two people. Then her eyes widened with a look of surprise, as if to say: God, how come I didn't know that you actually have feelings for me? You actually like me? You actually think this is a date? So, what should I do now?？
The meaning of that playful expression couldn't be more clear. Renly waved his hands repeatedly, "Have you forgotten? I got here first, I was here first!" Renly also immediately clarified, but when he saw Rooney's With disbelieving and suspicious eyes, Renly also laughed dumbly, "No, I agree with your point of view. It is best for actors to devote themselves to their work wholeheartedly and never be distracted..”
In the Liar Contest, Renly's competitiveness is definitely not weak..
