No matter how difficult, no matter how terrible, no matter how terrible, Matthew will never leave his position. He is always surrounded by Ren Li's most steadfast; moreover, he unswervingly believes that outside of him, there is still There is Rooney, Andre, and Eaton...and Edith.
Matthew, firmly believe it.
"Len Li, you know." In Matthew's simple and clear tone, with unquestionable firmness, "Deep down, you know that this is Edith's decision. Neither you nor Edith expected this. As a result, no one expects such a result. Accidents are always beyond our control."
"If you really think this is your own mistake, then you are too arrogant, you are not God, you cannot control Edith’s life choices; if you really think that all of this is your own cause, you simply Cannot stay in Sneem, you will go to the front to find Edith back."
"You have chosen to stay in Sneem. This is the most correct and wise choice; you have chosen to help Edith in your own way, and you are correct. Understand? Deep down, you understand this, You should also believe this, even if Edith is here, she will agree with you."
Matthew's voice was slow but firm, but Lanly shook his head slightly, "No, you are not Edith, you have no way to judge for her."
"The same is true for you. You can't assume Edith will blame you. This is not about you, this is about her. And the only thing you can do is to be strong." Matthew hit directly without showing any weakness. Going back, the voice was raised loudly and loudly, but then it calmed down.
Matthew said word by word, "Renly, you must have confidence. You need to believe that Edith will come back, and then she will stand in front of you and tell you what she really thinks. You must firmly believe if What you don’t even believe in..." At this point, Matthew’s voice paused slightly. He was unable to continue speaking, and seemed to be worried. If he said the follow-up words, it would become true. :
If even Lan Li loses his faith, who else can believe Edith unswervingly?
Among the "wild beasts" of Lan Li, he sang the loneliness and sadness in his heart, "So we arrived, a lonely place that can't go back, you are the face that made me go through fire and water, this is the child The inherited name will be beautiful and crowned; perfection will be cast away."
Matthew finally understood Heather now, and finally why Heather waited until he grew up to truly understand the loneliness behind this melody.
They are all like Heather, following Lan Li, staggering forward, to a lonely place that can't go back, and persevering with a belief; they are the only ones that each other has, and they walk alone on the road. The only company, if even Lan Li can't continue to hold on, then will they be swallowed by the beast in their hearts, and then they will never find themselves again.
"Lan Li." Matthew called softly.
"..." Lan Li said nothing.
"I'm still here." Matthew continued, as "The Beast" sang, "So when you are weak and weak, when you kneel down, I will do my best for the rest of the time to protect you. The oath is alive and true." Even if Lan Li can't keep going, he will still guard the oath.
"..." Lan Li still did not speak.
Quiet silence spreads slowly in the indoor space, the cold air outside the window is invading, the indoor heating is retreating, just like winter is approaching, the building will be pouring in its solemnity and grandeur, and it is full of richness. The inevitable night made the sense of oppression more turbulent.
Sweat drenched the bed sheet and duvet cover, as if the whole person was soaked in a mud, and then the shallow puddles were slowly frozen into ice, from the skin to the blood to the bones, it condensed inch by inch, and time seemed to be too fast. Frozen in the emotional mortar, he stopped moving forward.
The world is so cold that even the breathing of the soul becomes weak.
Matthew never gave up, just staring at Lan Li quietly, even refusing to look away paranoidly, as if he was engaged in a battle.
This is not the Renly he knows, nor should this be what Renly looks like; he knows that he knows that Renly will be tired, sleepy, confused, and injured. Lanly is not invincible; but Lanly will always be. Will not surrender, let alone give up. This is why he still has hope for Edith-because Lan Li still never gives up.
"...I guess Elf is not the only one who has become less like himself." Lan Li finally spoke, and the hoarse voice came from the depths of his soul, with deep fatigue, but it rose slightly. The corners of his mouth revealed a touch of ridicule and joking again, and the familiar appearance came back again.
Lan Li knew that the self-pity, self-pity, and self-pity appearance was completely not himself. He didn't even dare to imagine the breeding of that kind of negative emotions; but in the face of difficulties, they are gradually losing themselves, those resentments and anger, those sadness and pain, gradually It evolved into a wound that could not be healed, and eventually became a monster and demon that he did not know, his face twisted disgustingly, and all negative energy burst out.
After finally hearing Lan Li's voice, Matthew's elevated mood could slowly fall down. This was the Lan Li he was familiar with.
Unprepared, Matthew's nose was a little sour. He couldn't imagine what Ren Li was carrying, nor could he imagine how hard it was.
Since childhood, Lan Li has always been like this, carrying everything on his shoulders maturely and steadily, so that they can only watch his back and follow all the way. They saw his strength, his excellence, and his wisdom, but they still couldn't see the fragility behind those strengths. It was like when he achieved EGOT that year, his tiredness and alienation are like kite strings that have to get rid of the palm at any time. In general, they never did and could not understand, but they knew that he had really paid too much along the way.
Staring at the faintly vitality of Lan Li, Matthew refused to imagine what would happen to Edith if something really happened.
"But obviously, she is not you, and you are not her." The strength of the knees and calves relaxed, and Matthew simply turned around, leaned back against the edge of the bed, and sat cross-legged. After the tension was relaxed, he felt it too. After a while, the fatigue was surging up like a tide, and he needed to rest for a while, just a short while.
"Matthew."
"Ok?"
Lan Li whispered, but did not connect. After a long silence, he continued to speak, "Do you believe Edith can come back?"
Matthew paused for a moment and gave an unexpected answer, "I believe you."
This made the corners of Lan Li's mouth rise up, making a low chuckle, but because he was too tired, the voice quickly disappeared deep in his throat, "I hope I can know the answers to all the questions. I pretend to stand by myself. I control the overall situation from the perspective of God, but in the end, I am just a player in the game."
"Fortunately, you are the player in the game, otherwise, our group of friends may suffer. You should know that God will not take action to save an independent individual, right?" Matthew ridiculed seriously. That sense of absurdity caused Lan Li's throat to chuckle again.
"But what can I do?" Lan Li's voice was slightly lowered: Heather is like this, Paul is like this, and so is Edith now. He never seemed to help. Even if he lives again, he still After all, it is a mortal man, there are too many things that can't be saved.
Matthew can taste the deep meaning of Lan Li's words, he said softly, "You should know that without you, our lives would not be what they are now."
Lan Li twitched the corners of his mouth, "I strongly doubt whether Edith can agree if she stands here. She should express her protest righteously, and will never listen to my advice again. Her life I don’t need my fingertips. Otherwise, next time, she might just break up with Chris Evans.”
what?
Why does Chris Evans appear in this conversation?
Matthew was so surprised that he choked on his saliva and could not help coughing violently, which made Lan Li gleefully laugh.
After finally calming down, Matthew asked curiously, "Did you update Chris?" This was the only reasonable explanation.
"...Yes, I sent a text message." Lan Li said calmly.
Matthew lightly jawed his head and did not continue to inquire because he could expect Chris' reaction. Obviously, Renly’s nightmare tonight should have something to do with Chris—he didn’t think Chris could calmly accept the facts. , Chris is bound to shirk all responsibilities to Lan Li; but Lan Li cannot refute it. In other words, even though Lan Li expressed a rebuttal, deep down, those wounds still existed.
It's like when Heather passed away, the Crosses shirk all the responsibilities on Renly-the hurt of those words was more terrible than the pain itself. They need to shirk their responsibilities, they need to find a scapegoat, they need to find someone to vent their anger, but what about Lan Li?
Who should Renly blame?
"Lan Li~www.novelhall.com~ he is not worth it," Matthew said softly.
But Lan Li did not answer, but lay quietly on the spot, looking at the dark ceiling above her head. It seemed that the afterimage fragments of the nightmare could still be seen, and the hot blood could still be felt on her cheeks. The **** breath lingers under the nose.
"..." After a long time, Lan Li's voice finally came over, "I know."
The whole room was silent and quiet, and then you could hear Lan Li's hoarse voice humming softly, and the vague lyrics were mixed in the melody, like a lullaby, showing the softness and pain in the heart. Coming out, light and fragile, people can't help but hold their breath.
"...So we got up and searched for fate in the dark. I saw you scarred late last night, and I saw you dancing in the arms of the devil."
