Lan Li cleared his throat, his throat was a bit dry, and he drank too much last night. Fortunately, Sangria didn't have any degree, so he didn't have any hangover symptoms.

picked up the tea cup on the table, took out the tea bag inside, put it on the tray, and drank the strong tea in the cup when he looked up. Twenty years later, he is still not used to the tea bags in the Western world. After all, he still missed watching the tea leaves unfold in boiling water. However, in special times, it is better than nothing.

Putting down the tea cup, Lan Li hurriedly left the hotel room. Today, he has an important task-he has to carry out a closed experience. The eight-hour hands-on practice is not only a physical test, but also a mental torture. He needs Concentrate all your attention. Now that he had made up his mind, Lan Li would not have any hesitation.

The lobby of the hotel on the first floor is not noisy. There is a group of guests checking in at the front desk, a backpacker is checking something in front of the computer in the waiting area, and another person is sitting on the sofa with his back to the door reading a newspaper; bright sunlight Projected in unimpededly, the entire lobby is spacious and bright, refreshing, and full of vitality in the tranquility. It couldn't be better to start a new day in this way.

This Catalonia Park Guell hotel is located in a slightly remote area of ​​Gracia, only 600 meters from the famous Park Guell, but you need to use transportation to get to the city center, which is about 15 minutes away. The budget of the "Buried Alive" crew is limited. The booking of this three-star hotel has exceeded Lan Li’s expectations. He is mentally prepared to live in a youth hostel; not to mention, compared to the noise of the old city, here is Being quiet is also a good thing for Lan Li to prepare for the role.

Lan Li nodded to the lobby manager, and walked out quickly toward the door, "Mr. Hall, Mr. Hall." The lobby manager called out Lan Li's footsteps, "You have visitors."

Lan Li frowned slightly, visitor? What visitors does he have? He is now an unknown person, and he did not attract any attention when he came to Barcelona this time. How could there be visitors? Is it a member of the crew? Rodrigue didn't say he was coming over this morning.

raised his head and glanced around the lobby subconsciously, his gaze stopped abruptly and locked on the back of the person reading the newspaper.

The sturdy shoulders are slightly thin, the navy blue suit meticulously outlines the sharp lines; the toughness and perseverance of the chin can be vaguely seen, the slightly tight bronze skin can see the rules and restraints of the straight sitting posture; short black hair is neat and tidy And Futie, revealing the coldness and bitterness, as if even the spilt sunlight could not help but stop three feet away.

This back figure, he can be said to be familiar enough, how could he not recognize it?

Lan Li lowered her head, her eyes drooping concealed her inner emotions, only a momentary smile protruding from the light and shadow, like spring/light/suddenly, the arc of the corner of her mouth raised slightly, and then it converged. Like a gentle ripple, "You'd better read the newspaper. If you don't plan to follow, I will call a taxi now."

The mellow voice moved the cello strings in the bright sunshine. After speaking, Lan Li turned around and took a step forward without any hesitation.

The lobby manager stood there at a loss, "What's the situation?"

Then the figure sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper stood up, folded the newspaper slowly, turned around, and said to the fading back of Lan Li, "Even if I don’t intend to give the old man a warm welcome. Hug, at least, you can give me some time to clean up."

"You know I don't like to pretend." Lan Li's voice came from afar, his footsteps still did not stop, then he turned around, a smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed in an instant, "Especially I don't like someone pretending to be better than me."

Standing on the roadside, looking around, Lan Li raised his hand, a taxi at the far end of the road was driving in the opposite direction, and then stopped, waiting for the car next to it to pass by, preparing to turn around.

"I thought you would stay in a youth hostel, but I didn't expect to choose a hotel. This kind of residence doesn't look like your style at all." The man ran all the way to chase him, but his left hand was still on. In his pocket, there is no sign of embarrassment, and there is a comfortable familiarity and kindness between the expressions.

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered back without showing any weakness, "I thought you refused to appear in a hotel like this. If Charlotte knew about it, you could laugh at you for at least a year."

The man's gaze flashed slightly, a smile flickered, and then he shot back, "She obviously won't miss you, especially after learning about your current job."

"I don't mind performing Hamlet in front of her once. You shouldn't forget that every time she sees'Hamlet', she will convulse and run away. Especially if I can't stand the phrase'survival or death', I will definitely give her it once. Shakespearean performance." After Lan Li said his calm words, the two of them couldn't help but laugh, obviously remembering the common memory.

The taxi driver parked the car on the side of the road, hesitating. Looking at the two men in front of me, their heights are almost the same. The slender legs and the gentleman's temperament seem to be somewhat similar, but each has its own advantages. One is dressed in a suit, handsome and tough, and the cold and tough momentum has a strong sense of oppression; one Wearing a T-shirt and jeans, casual and elegant, there is a trace of laziness in the sun, and the image of standing side by side makes people yearn for but timid.

They don’t look like they can take a taxi casually.

Matthew-Dunlop stepped forward and opened the door of the car and made an invitation gesture; Lan Li did not refuse, bent over and got into the car, and reported the long-written address to the driver. A look completely accustomed to.

Matthew stood by the car door and paused for a moment. Everything was so familiar, as if it had never changed or would not change. Shaking his head with a chuckle, he immediately got in the car, the taxi barely stopped, and then he drove away.

"Aren't you curious about why I appeared?" Matthew looked at Lan Li with a calm face, and didn't seem to be surprised by his sudden appearance.

The two people have not been in contact for more than a year-the so-called no contact means that there is no exchange of any news. He knows that Lanly is in New York, but he never knows which area Lanly lives in. After Lan Li went to New York, he disappeared completely as if sinking into the sea.

Matthew searched on Lan Li’s face seriously, but still didn’t find any surprise, "Don’t you wonder how I knew you were here?"

Lan Li turned his head and looked at the old friend in front of him seriously.

The straight eyebrows are like the steep coastline of the Arctic Ocean. The tall nose bridge cuts the deep facial features into two halves, and the faint lip color makes a touch of the indifference of the early winter sun. Fitted hair, fastened shirts, exquisite cuffs, and straight trousers, all over the body exudes a kind of alienated and correct abstinence/desire/temperament, which makes people stop involuntarily after five steps.

Everything is what it looks like in memory. One year's time, hardly left too many traces on him-compared with the previous fifteen years.

The Dunlop family and the Hall family are quite similar. They are both down-and-out nobles, but they have always maintained the pride and reservedness of the nobles. His father is a lawyer and his mother is a judge. He ranks third in the family and has two sisters—Charlotte. -Charlotte-Dunlop is one of his sisters.

Lan Li couldn't remember the beginning of the story. He only remembered that they met in elementary school. For Lan Li, who was born again, the primary school students were a group of little kids and naturally had no plans to make friends; but I don’t know when the two became friends. It can be said that Matthew made friends after he was born again. The first friend-the kind in the true sense. After that, they have been classmates, Eaton College, Cambridge University, until now.

"Edith." Lan Li's dark brown eyes flashed with the sly of a fox, and said.

Edith is the only explanation, her work is inextricably linked to Hollywood. The recent news that "Cleopatra" has been on the bulletin board is not big or small, but you can still pay attention if you are interested; Edith only needs to go to the trade union to inquire, and the information about "buried alive" is public, and it is not difficult to guess. To the answer. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Matthew is a lawyer who is almost crazy about details. As long as he is given a little clue, it is not difficult to think of facts.

Matthew showed a disappointed expression. Obviously, Lan Li had guessed the answer for the first time, which was really disappointing. In order to find out the current position of Lan Li, he really took a lot of effort, and finally called Rodriguez and went around in a big circle. He originally planned to surprise Lan Li, but he was punctured in one fell swoop.

It was the same when I was young, and it is still the same now. Time doesn't seem to change much.

"Where is our current destination? If we go to a bar or/broth/house now, it seems a bit early." Matthew quickly returned to normal, looking at the fast receding scenery on both sides of the street, which is obviously not in the city center. direction.

Lan Li didn't raise his eyes, and spit out lightly, "That's Arthur's hobby, not mine. Obviously your brain has been damaged by the law."

"Huh, it seems that Hollywood has not poisoned your blood yet." The lingering look gave Lan Li a fierce blow-London aristocrats have always been dismissive of Hollywood, and Matthew's words provoke Lan Li chuckled, "Come here this time, do you plan to go back to London?"

"No." Lan Li shook his head, "After you go back, please say hello to Charlotte." Charlotte is also an anomaly in Dunlop's house. He always thinks that the aristocracy is rotten and should be abolished in one go. . There is no market for such shocking remarks among the nobles, but it makes Charlotte and the two rebels of the Hall family good friends-Charlotte and Edith are also good friends.

For this answer, Matthew was not surprised, nodded to express his understanding, and then changed the subject, "So, where are we going now?"
