"...I'll go back to get my Madeleine cake now, what do you think? Is anyone going to join me?"
Arthur's words were light and simple, not too ridiculous, but with a little ridicule, so that the atmosphere at the entrance was easily relaxed.
The dispute between Edith and Chris broke out and disappeared instantly. Everything was like a turbulent undercurrent suppressed under the Arctic Ocean. They were about to move, and none of them were sure how things would develop—because the war was about death. No one can be 100% sure.
Andre tried to ease the atmosphere, but the scene at this moment was very sensitive. He was not sure whether he was right to speak. At the hesitation mark, Arthur spoke, and that would be better; this made Andre. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and exchanged a glance with Eaton, only to find that both of them were a little nervous.
On the contrary, Edith, as the client, was not so cautious. She seemed to think of something, and her smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth.
Everyone was slightly startled--Although Arthur's humor was good, it didn't make people laugh. Edith's emotions were too intense, which was not a good thing.
Edith noticed this, because everyone has been like this during the past period of time, treating her as a fragile glass doll, which she dislikes very, very much; but deep down, she also knows that she needs help. She also knew that she was not normal now, which made her stuck in a dilemma.
Only Renly and Arthur are different. Lan Li's calmness, Arthur's jokes, and even the concern in his eyes stayed as always with the unique alienation and caution of the Hall family. Such a scene made Edith unable to help but want to laugh, as if watching at a banquet. When a fox came in, it seemed like--
The description is a bit subtle, but it is indeed the picture that emerged in her mind.
"Arthur, are you sure you don't need to shave before enjoying afternoon tea? I seriously think that your beard may be soaked in black tea, like a broom." Edith couldn't stop smiling. , Intermittently, looking at Arthur's sloppy beard with joy.
Arthur was full of black lines, "Rough, this is called rough! A natural gas without modification, understand? This one is popular now!"
In fact, beard growth is really normal, and all kinds of beards themselves are a kind of style; but the problem is that beards also need to be taken care of. If nothing is taken care of, then it is not styling but sloppy. What's more, Arthur's roughness is far from the usual image, which is so funny.
Edith couldn't hold back, "Arthur, you look like you have lived under the Tower Bridge for two months."
Arthur gritted his teeth, "Hey, hey! That lady, even so, I'm still charming, okay?"
After going back and forth, the familiar sights of the Hall family came back again, and Edith seemed to have completely adapted to it. This made the melon-eating crowds who were standing next to watch relish. Obviously, it was so "private". The excitement is not something you can see every day.
Seeing the two people joking and arguing like children, Lan Li finally stood up—they couldn't stand at the door and keep talking, right?
Then, Lan Li interjected, "As the host, I have been named. This is definitely not a way of hospitality. Then, let's go to the waiting room now."
"Since we are going to the living room, why were we in the study just now?" Andre was full of question marks.
"How do I remember, it was Lan Li who was sitting in the study at first, then who came in and asked what was going on, so I followed in."
"It's me. I used to ask Lan Li about Edith's return. Why did you follow?"
"I don't know, I thought the master was there, so naturally we met there. But the question is, why didn't Philip stop us?"
"So... we just sat in the study stupidly? There were so many people on the scene today, but no one noticed something was wrong? Is Lan Li sure not to explain?"
The chattering discussion sounded like the white waves of the Gold Coast, one after another, kissing Chiguo’s feet lightly and tenderly. The soft and delicate sand left traces between the toes, a little bit of itching, and another. With a little warmth, the body muscles and brain nerves slowly relax, it seems that you can faintly hear the sound of ocean waves ringing in your ears, and even the cold and haze outside the gate are dissipating.
Arthur left the team and went to the guest room on the second floor, ready to take care of his beard. Such a sloppy image really hurt his reputation.
However, Lan Li's footsteps fell behind. When Edith and Chris passed by, he was ready to take a step, but he didn't expect Edith to stop and turn around.
Lan Li raised his eyebrows and cast a suspicious look at Edith.
Edith stood still in front of Renly and was silent for a moment-Edith was not in a hurry, and Renly was not in a hurry. Only Chris stood beside him, confused, and he also missed the reaction. Timing, I don't know if I should leave, let the two siblings communicate in private; or should continue to stay, hold their breath and pretend that they don't exist. Then, Chris' burly and strong body curled up unconsciously, trying to pretend that he was a little transparent.
Otherwise, what else can he do? He is also helpless.
"So... are you so sure that I won't have an accident?" In the end, Edith couldn't hold it back.
Lan Li smiled, "There is an old saying in China: Good people don't live long, and they will leave you for thousands of years."
"..." Edith wanted to swear vulgar words. She wanted to be touched, but was slammed head-on by Lan Li, but after a brief period of upset, she laughed—
This is Lan Li. In the darkest, most difficult and most at a loss, she didn’t know if she could escape from birth, and she didn’t know if she still had a chance to see the sun tomorrow. She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and she thought of Ke Reese could not guess Chris' thoughts and status. The uncertainty made her unable to continue. Then she thought of Renly and Arthur. She could be sure that they were still waiting for herself, no matter what she eventually evolved into. appearance.
They will still stand in place and wait for themselves.
That belief supported her to approach the dawn of hope step by step, suffering every minute and every second, but she managed to persevere after all.
Sure enough, she saw Lan Li and Arthur again.
Thank you. She wanted to say. Those thankful and touching words went around in her mind. She thought she had countless words to express, but when she really stood in front of Lan Li, she found her mind was blank, and she didn't even say no to the "thank you". Come out, I don't know what I should do.
She was simply fortunate that they still stayed where they were, they still kept the light in their home, and they still welcomed their return with open arms. She never knew that one day she would thank the surname "Hall".
"Don't worry, you should live longer than me." Edith blinked at Lan Li, and the playful cunning that appeared at that moment seemed to have never changed - even though there were unconcealable wounds deep in her eyes.
After speaking, Edith was worried that Lan Li would "make trouble" again, and ran away in small steps.
As a result, Chris was "forgotten" in the corner, unaware of Edith's abacus, and then was left in the same place stupidly, crying from the bottom of his heart: Don't notice me, don't notice me Don't pay attention to me... But, he just watched Lan Li slowly moving his eyes and locked him directly.
Chris bit his scalp and lowered his gaze, pointing to the void that didn't exist next to him, "I... uh, that... I need to go over and see. Yes, that's it..." He didn't know what was being said. , But still fled in a panic, before Lan Li's attack.
Lan Li stood there, waiting for Chris to go away, the smile in his eyes slowly surged, revealing a trace of unconcealed joy, mixed with bitterness and sadness, but after all, it was still light and cheerful:
Edith, is back.
...
It wasn't until night fell ~www.novelhall.com~ that the sense of reality settled down along with the temperature.
In the past five short weeks, nothing seems to have happened. He just shot a movie, and Edith just went out to complete a job, and today is the day when Edith officially returns. , Those thrilling, those ups and downs are just a dream.
However, after calming down, the fear and panic of later fear began to bounce back-fierce and strong, and people have no power to fight back; but it is precisely this kind of fear, doubts and worries about this moment, and dreams of reality. Doubts and timidity made the facts extremely real.
Lan Li began to fear, because he knew that all this was not a dream, but a real thing. Fear because of the truth: Just so little, Edith may never come back.
"Twenty-five cents buy what you think now."
There was a sound in the study, and Lan Li suddenly looked up, only then realized that he hadn't noticed Edith had entered the study, and his distraction was a bit serious.
Tonight, Edith stayed in the Prince’s Garden-Arthur stayed too. Chris did not object, although he was very, very eager to have time alone with Edith. This should be their night, but after the struggle hesitated. After all, Chris was not able to express his objection. He could only tell himself that the future is long and Edith now needs to stay with his family even more. Even if he didn't give up, Chris still left.
"I thought you had rested." Lanly avoided Edith's question, but raised another question.
Edith sat down on the sofa diagonally across from Renly and was about to speak, but saw Arthur poking his head out of the door, "Are you two still not resting? I'm going to drink a glass of whiskey. You are welcome to join. ,How?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"...I'll go back to get my Madeleine cake now, what do you think? Is anyone going to join me?"
Arthur's words were light and simple, not too ridiculous, but with a little ridicule, so that the atmosphere at the entrance was easily relaxed.
