838 Dating rules
Rooney narrowed her eyes slightly, with a questioning expression of "trust has been betrayed", and protracted the ending meaningfully, "Huh...?" She said with a half-smile, "That's not what you meant just now..”
Renly spread his hands with an innocent face, his eyes seemed to say: I'm just trying to clear up the misunderstanding..
But facing Rooney's unbelieving look, Renly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, gave up explaining, and said sincerely, "I mean, I'm not dating right now. Otherwise, why do you think I won an Oscar nomination two years in a row?？”
Those bright eyes seemed to say: How is it? Winning nominations two years in a row, amazing, right? This is the best proof that you devote yourself wholeheartedly to the performance. What about you? See, I'm the one without a date！
A simple look, but one layer after another of subtext. The curve of Rooney's mouth involuntarily rose again, and she had to bite her lower lip with her teeth to hide her smile, but the smile surging in her eyes could not be done at all. lie.
“In fact, for the sake of my career as an actor, I have established a strict 'two-day rule.'" Renly did not snicker, but still put on a serious face, as if he was conducting an academic research seminar..
“Meaning, I can't see the same person more than two days in a row. Since we've been together for two days now, even if I wanted to see you again - which we definitely won't, because you're not dating and I'm not dating, But, hypothetically, hypothetically, I won’t be able to see you until the day after tomorrow at the earliest..”
Looking at Renly's serious face, Rooney's heroic eyebrows also moved slightly closer. She couldn't help but follow Renly's words and fell into thinking. Then she shook her head and corrected Renly's mistake, "No, no, we are not consecutive. We met for two days. We only met for...well, I'm not sure, ninety minutes?？”
“yes but……”
Renly tried to continue explaining, but Rooney hadn't finished her words yet, "Not because I care, just because I have to make it clear..”
Renly ignored Rooney and said firmly and focused, "I mean, when we met, it was about... eleven forty-five? Fifty? That was yesterday, and now it is today. After midnight, The date has passed, and now it is the next day. Plus the day before midnight, we have met for two days..”
Rooney raised her chin, tapped her chin slightly to show understanding, and then shook her head, "That's the problem. I won't date you, there is no possibility between us. I refuse to date the 'time nerd' 'Dating. Because it's really too much trouble. So... you are no longer within my consideration range..”
After saying that, Rooney spread out her hands with a regretful expression on her face..
Renly pursed his lips, "'Time Nerd', this is a real term.？”
Rooney nodded seriously, then her eyes widened, and she spread her hands facing Renly, "Ta da!" which means: Aren't you the same one? perfect existence！
Renly nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. I'm a die-hard time nerd..”
“Yes, yes, you can see it." Rooney nodded repeatedly with a smile..
Renly slightly suppressed the smile on his lips and put on a posture of academic study, "This is also my focus. Look, I have never been willing to date you because I am a serious time nerd, and you No. It was like this for the first time, the second time, and tonight is the third time. What does this mean? This means that maybe we should move on from this topic. We are not suitable for each other..”
Following Renly's words, Rooney thought carefully.：
The first time we met in Telluride, the chance encounter in the afternoon turned into a long conversation all night long. The beautiful memories before sunrise became the beginning of the friendship between the two..
The second meeting, in Seattle, they met at midnight, with a strange bald head and a torn skirt. The two of them were laughing and chatting about Oscars and acting work. She couldn’t even remember how the night ended or when it was. It's over.
Today, this is the third time.
Rooney nodded in realization, "I understand the two-day rule now.！”
It's obviously just a coincidence, but under the random fabrication of the two people, it has become a matter of course. As you come and go and exchange eyes, on the surface, you still have to maintain a calm state, and you can't hold back your laughter. Hard.
“That's what I mean." Renly continued, "I am very strict about the distinction between morning and afternoon; and reading time, sixty minutes, bedtime, three hours, and so on, down to five minutes. There is no room for error." The ability to tell lies with open eyes has reached an advanced level and can be easily learned..
Rooney pondered for a moment, "I understand, I completely understand. Wait, what is the result of what we just discussed? Have we made the final decision?？”
“First of all, this is not a date; secondly, we will not date; finally, the next time we meet, it will be at least the day after tomorrow. Or next year? "Renly summarized it simply and clearly, neatly and clearly..
Rooney suddenly understood and nodded seriously, "Great! I'm glad we can reach a consensus." Then Rooney looked around, "Well, now, do we need to shake hands? It's like those leaders reached an agreement. Same？”
“No, no. You know, the handshake is too ambiguous for us." Renly vetoed the proposal..
Rooney raised her eyebrows, "That makes sense." This time, she didn't hesitate and stood up, "I should leave." She put the laundry detergent back on the shelf one by one, picked one of them at random, and threw it away. in his own cart.
“Oh, you made your own choice? "Renly raised his head and looked at Rooney, who was like a little giant. Looking up from such a perspective, he felt an indescribable sense of joy. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, "How did you make the decision? The most expensive? cheapest？”
“No, it's purple." Rooney's answer was so unexpected that Renly opened his mouth slightly, showing a look of surprise..
Rooney caught the look in Renly's eyes, "Sure enough, girls' preferences are elusive. Why would they choose it just because it is purple?" She nodded seriously and explained, "I am a very serious person. 'Color nerd', you know, like, the navy blue you're wearing tonight, I think it suits you perfectly, not that I have a crush on you or anything like that……”
“Yes, I believe that we have already revealed this point, so there is no need to explain it anymore." Renly nodded repeatedly to express his understanding..
Rooney nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's what I mean. I am an extremely stubborn color nerd, so be careful. Maybe next time we meet, I may choose to refuse to talk to you because of the color of your clothes. .a warning in advance.”
Renly raised his right hand and made a salute gesture, indicating that he obeyed the order..
That well-behaved and docile look, but also full of teasing and teasing, really made people laugh. This time, Rooney didn't hold back, a smile lightly overflowed from the corners of her mouth. She quickly lowered her head to hide her hilarious expression. Impulsively, after sorting out his expression, he raised his head again and said with an expression like an iceberg goddess, "Well, see you next time.".”
After saying that, Rooney shook her refreshing short hair coolly, pressed down her peaked cap, turned around and pushed the cart away, but after taking a few steps, she turned around suddenly and saw Renly. Still raising her chin and staring at herself, the two people's eyes collided together inadvertently, which made Rooney cough twice unnaturally, "Cough cough."”.
Immediately afterwards, Rooney continued, "Can you send me the address of the Pioneer Village? Maybe if you have time, I can go there for fun." Then she added, "It's not just to meet you..”
There was nothing at first, but after an additional explanation, it felt like "there is no three hundred taels of silver here". Rooney couldn't help but bite the tip of her tongue: At the end of the confrontation, she actually succeeded! Really！
Renly pretended not to hear, "No problem.”
However, the faint smile in her eyes made Rooney's cheeks feel slightly hot. She cleared her throat again, "Thank you. Also, I believe Heather will be fine. She is Don Quixote." This time, Rooney didn't stop or add anything. She turned around and pushed the cart out of the aisle..
Rooney's figure disappeared at the end of the aisle. Just a moment later, the sound of the wheels sliding quickly sounded again. Even if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you could picture it in your mind: Rooney sprinted quickly again, like Peter Pan. Generally, enjoying the pleasure of flying.
The smile climbed up to the corners of Renly's mouth; the chaos in his eyes gradually calmed down. Lowering his eyes, the curve of the corners of his mouth was relaxed and comfortable, and the irritability and confusion between his eyebrows slowly settled down..
It's been a long day, first the concert, then Mount Sinai Hospital; it's been a long week, and since leaving Berlin, the world has been spinning like crazy. But now, Heather will be fine, everything will be fine I got up. Now it seems I can finally slow down and take a good rest..
He lowered his head again and opened the book in his hand. Renly read quietly, enjoying a moment of peace, only time for himself and the book to communicate..
Renly did not leave immediately and stayed in the supermarket until about three o'clock in the morning. Then he packed up his belongings, greeted the supermarket staff politely, and took steps towards the apartment..
After returning home, Renly immediately fell into sleep. This night, all the disturbances settled down. His sleep was so peaceful and deep that he didn't even dream. After he woke up at dawn and relaxed his whole body, he seemed to be in a deep sleep. I can’t wake up, even if the sky falls apart I won’t know.
Until there was a real "earth shattering" sound coming from the door, the banging banging on the door, it sounded like the end of the world. Renly could hear those sounds, but he was too groggy to wake up. , it seems that the consciousness is awake, but the body is not obeying the command at all, as if...the soul is out of the body. The whole person is deeply and deeply trapped in the boundary of chaos..
Then, the knocking on the door finally stopped, and after only a short moment of silence, a tornado mixed with cold air rushed in, "Renly, wake up! Renly, something happened.".”
