On an empty street, a gray-haired old man was holding a huge paper bag with French sticks, parsley, and a large bottle of milk. It was obvious that she had just bought it from the supermarket. Passing by, the trivial footsteps made the peace of the street more peaceful.
Two figures standing downstairs in the apartment, a man and a woman.
The man is tall and slender. He wears a black suit and white shirt. With just a few strokes, he outlines the cool and elegant temperament, such as the scabbard eyebrow and the deep facial features, wearing a black frame. The glasses and the unsmiling expression add a touch of abstinence/desire, which is prohibitive.
The woman is petite, only reaching the man’s chest. The sky blue shirt and dark gray skirt look dignified and virtuous, but not too aggressive. A pair of black flat shoes are unexpectedly stepped on the soles of the feet, which lacks the sharpness of high heels. But he became more approachable, with a faint smile on his face, like a spring/wind.
The woman turned her head, saw Lan Li who had stopped, and waved her hand gently, "Long time no see, Lan Li."
Lan Li took the cigarette held by his mouth, his eyes fell on the man next to him, and his eyebrows were lightly raised. Matthew shrugged innocently, spreading his hands to express his innocence.
The woman standing next to her smile was still elegant, as if she hadn’t seen the sight communication between Lan Li and Matthew, she said warmly, “It’s raining again in London these past two days, and the weather is not very good. A little bit of the sun, I heard that the day after tomorrow is also sunny, it’s really been a long time since. London in autumn is always nostalgic, right?"
The elegant woman in front of me is called Elf-Hall, another sister of Lan Li, who is also the oldest child in the family. Biase is one year older and 28 years old this year. .
Elf is a legend in the Hall family. She persisted in her dream and complied with the family's expectations and became a surgeon. Although in the eyes of the elders it is still "showing up", although it is still "not suitable for marriage" in the upper class, at least the professional image of surgeons has been sufficiently recognized.
What's more, compared to Edith and Renly, Elf has to be said to be a role model in the eyes of George and Elizabeth.
However, if Lan Li came to evaluate Elf, he would say: This is another Elizabeth Hall.
The filming of the "Crazy Love" crew has been going on for four days. If the day he arrived is included, he has been in London for a full five days before Elf arrives late. But what’s more interesting is that there is no news from George and Elizabeth, and Arthur sinks into the sea, as if he never came back to London.
Even after meeting, Elf's manners overlapped with the appearance in Lan Li's memory again, and it seemed that there was no change at all.
Properly advance and retreat, be gentle and decent, with proper etiquette. The opening dialogue mentioned the weather, as if the two had only met yesterday. There was no unfamiliarity, nor did they deliberately mention sensitive/sensible topics such as actors and going home. Everything was so perfect, but it made Lan Lan Li could not refuse to respond.
"Edinburgh this season is so beautiful, you should go there for a vacation." Lan Li responded with a smile, and then walked towards him, put the cigarette in his mouth again, and then lifted the cigarette box in his hand. Ai Elf looked down at the cigarette brand in Lan Li's hand before shook his head.
This small gesture made Lan Li couldn't help but smile. Deja vu, everything is so deja vu, maybe, he really never left.
"Are you planning to go to Edinburgh for a holiday?" Elf said with a smile, "I thought you would want to stay in London, Edith will be back next week. You know, the busiest moment of the year."
London Fashion Week. As a top-notch photographer, Edith is bound to be extremely busy. To be precise, the next month will be very busy.
Lan Li shrugged and didn't intend to answer, but Elf didn't care, and then said, "How long will we stay in London this time? We really don't have enough time to meet each other. Let's have a good conversation at dinner another day. How about,? How is this trip? Is everything satisfied?"
Traveling, as if he was just a long-distance trip to New York, is not an extraordinary challenge to the dream of an actor.
"Very well, everything is fine." Lanly did not burst the bubble of lie, "I went to New York to take a look, and then I stayed in Los Angeles for a while. At least, the weather is better than London."
"Of course, of course." Elf nodded slightly, his expression still gentle, as if a sophisticated surgical operation was underway, and the emotions must be stable without too many fluctuations. "After returning to London, you have seen What drama is worth recommending? You always have a unique perspective on drama, and the West End seems to be getting lively again."
Faced with such a problem, Lan Li almost laughed out loud, but his internal strength over the years made him hold back, "No, I haven't had the opportunity to go to the West End yet. I don’t know if Matthew told you. I'm busy working lately."
"Oh, work." Elf raised his chin, the white and elegant neck line was like a swan, without any flaws. "Yes, Matthew mentioned it to me." Matthew and Lan Li exchanged glances. , The eyes of both people brought a sneer of sarcasm, "However, I just bought something boldly from the Sonar Chayin antique shop, a terracotta cow made in the fifth century AD, which I am appreciating. I forgot this detail."
"You know, work is too busy, I have almost no leisure activities now. I have to find something to relax. I used to be keen on reading, but now I find that ~www.novelhall.com~ does not seem to relieve my emotions. Yes. I would rather go to the West End to watch some dramas, but there is no good choice. Are you sure you don’t have any recommendations?"
Elf’s unremarkable conversation, with her characteristic gentleness and tonality, did not rush, and the topic went round and round about Lan Li, then cleverly avoided, and finally returned to herself, a paragraph After the conversation, there was nothing substantial.
This feeling is really long-lost.
"Sorry, I really don't have any recommendations." Lanly's affirmative answer made Elf show a clear expression, but he was not disappointed. He just nodded faintly, "In fact, I must go back to work now. All other colleagues Waiting for me. Do you want to take a look? My colleagues will not mind if you want."
Renly knew that Elf would refuse.
"No, it's too rude." Elf shook his head politely, "I have to go back to the hospital now, and the lunch break will be over, and there will be room inspections in the afternoon." Elf raised her head. He started to look into Lan Li's eyes and showed a smile, "Are you going to continue traveling next?"
"Yes." Lan Li smiled and gave an affirmative answer.
"Then, I wish you a pleasant journey." Elf said politely, as if they were strangers they met on social occasions. After speaking, she nodded and signaled, then turned and left.
Watching Elf's back, Matthew spread out his hands and explained helplessly in a low voice, "She forced me to do this. She called the office and pretended not to be there, and then she gave a bunch of flowers. When I went to the office, there was an emotional greeting letter attached. "Thinking about the content of the greeting letter, Matthew felt goosebumps on his back-frightened. "Then she called again. "
Lan Li patted Matthew on the shoulder and smiled, "You go back to work. Elf is still waiting for you to stop the taxi for him." A real lady would not stop the rental by herself, she must There must be a gentleman.
Matthew rolled his eyes, with an expression of grief and indignity, incompatible with his cold temperament, then he gave Lan Li a hug, turned around and quickly caught up with Elf's departure.
Lan Li knew that Matthew had no way to refuse Elf, because Elf would not give Matthew the room and space to refuse. Even if Matthew continued to flee, Elf would still be able to achieve her goal.
Elf's appearance today is actually to bring greetings on behalf of the Hall family, and to take a look at Lan Li's current state on behalf of George and Elizabeth. In comparison, Elf is the most suitable candidate.
The relationship between Lan Li and Elf cannot be said to be close, but it cannot be said to be guilty. Elf is a typical independent person. She and everyone in the family are not close, not particularly close or alienated. She walks back and forth between the various relationships skillfully and sophisticatedly, like an outsider, carefully Maintaining this seemingly harmonious and united family that has long since fallen apart.
Even when George and Elizabeth had the idea of divorce, it was Elf who mediated between the two people-not because she was worried about the divorce of her parents~www.novelhall.com~ but because she was worried that divorce would become a scandal in the upper class. Then affect the reputation of the entire family.
This is Elf.
Therefore, Elf’s task today is to appear, show up, and greet. She didn't mean it. "Greetings" is her ultimate goal. After completing the task, she will naturally retreat. She won't get involved in this muddy water, she won't defend George and Elizabeth, nor will she think about Lan Li. As long as Lan Li doesn't go too far to destroy the family's reputation, she will continue to stay out of the matter.
This is a step to break the deadlock, but it is also a step to maintain the status quo.
Lan Li believed that after Elf returned, he could at least clean up for a while, and they would never come to disturb him again.
He had expected such a situation, even Elf's appearance and the content of the conversation did not exceed the expected range, but when the thing really happened, he could not help but breathe out a little. Perhaps, after he returned to London, his performance was still affected. He was not as calm and restrained as he thought, nor was he as indifferent as he thought.
Suddenly, Lanly missed Edith and Arthur a little, at least they were full of life.
