Cornell hurriedly chased after him, and then saw the door of the coffee house, Lan Li pushed open the door, and politely signaled Jessica to go in; Jessica seemed to be a little surprised by Lan Li's such a gentlemanly behavior, stunned, and couldn't help but show a smile, and then took away her chin signal, and then walked in.

"Lan Li!" Connell shouted, and then ran over at a sprint speed, but unexpectedly, Lan Li walked straight in, ruthlessly let go of his left hand, the door closed so heavily, slammed towards Cornell, he had to brake urgently, but the road that had not yet melted was too slippery, and he definitely couldn't stop the car, and his whole person hit the transparent glass door directly, if he hadn't supported it with both hands, he didn't know what the result would be.
"Bang", a heavy impact sounded over, and half of the guests in the coffee house turned their heads, and Jessica was naturally no exception, and then saw the embarrassed reporter, and couldn't help opening his mouth slightly, revealing a surprised expression.
But Lan Li didn't care, and didn't even turn his head to look at the excitement, he just raised his head and cast an inquiring look at Jessica, "What coffee do you need?"
"Black coffee. Jessica withdrew her surprised gaze and looked at Lan Li, who was calm and composed, but she made a fuss and couldn't help but laugh.
"Two cups of black coffee. Lan Li said to the waiter, "There is a documentary released this afternoon, 'The Returnee from Hell', but I estimate that it will be difficult to buy tickets, and I don't know if I can grab tickets for the first show." β
Jessica had also come to her senses at this time, and she nodded, "Yes, I've heard of it too." The director, a war photojournalist, used just one camera to shoot in southern Afghanistan. β
"Yes, I had the pleasure of meeting the director yesterday, and he feels that the current people have begun to become numb to the cruelty of war...... Lan Li was a little excited, this documentary was something he had never seen before, and he was chatting with a bearded man in a bar last night, and then he heard about "The Returned Man from Hell", and suddenly became interested.
"Lan Li!" A voice came from the side, interrupting Lan Li and Jessica's voices, even if you don't have to look up, you can guess that it is Cornell, the haunting Cornell. "You can't refuse to be interviewed by me, the Oscars are going to be announced next week, aren't you looking forward to it at all? Rumor has it that you stabbed a friend in the back and stole the opportunity to 'bury you alive', is this true?"
Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, although he knew that the reporter would do anything to get the news, but in Connell's words, how many were smoke bombs released by Fisher Morgan, and how many were fake rumors released by Weinstein Pictures, which made it difficult to distinguish, and if one was not careful, he would fall into the trap.
Lan Li smiled apologetically at Jessica, "Sorry, the flies are always lingering, I hope it won't have a negative impact on your next work." β
Jessica didn't react for a while, Lan Li's words were really too vague, and after going around in a circle, she suddenly realized:
Lan Li recognized her and knew that she was Jessica Chastain, this was the first surprise, she was not well-known in Hollywood now, and there were only a few people who knew her; Lan Li was apologizing for the reporter's abruptness, this was the second surprise, after all, both of them were actors, and the reporter had been pestering him, but he ignored her, this kind of gap really made people unhappy; Lan Li was still apologizing for the potential scandal in the future, this was the third surprise, maybe the reporter would pester her when the premiere of "Seeking Asylum" was releasedβ¦β¦
The most important thing is that Lan Li expressed it in such a subtle and gentlemanly way, not only did not offend her, but also carried a little witty humor, which made people laugh. This is the fourth surprise.
Jessica couldn't help but smile brightly, squinting her eyes slightly, "Do you always treat women so gentlemanly? β
The corners of Lan Li's mouth curled slightly, "Is this a compliment or a disparagement?" I will take it as a compliment, at least, you didn't say that the man who hates me is queuing outside, which is a good thing." β
Jessica laughed directly, and then raised her head to look at Cornell next to her, "This reporter, even in court, because of the protection of the Fifth Amendment Act, the person concerned has the right to refuse to answer the judge's question;
This time it was Lan Li's turn to be stunned, he didn't expect Jessica to stand up and retort - she might be retaliated against by reporters, a "what's your business" is enough to hurt people, and he didn't expect Jessica's counterattack to be so sharp, coherent, and eloquent, that people really want to clap their hands to show respect.
So, Lan Li did just that.
Jessica retracted her gaze, looked at the smile in Lan Li's eyes, smiled slightly, nodded, and accepted the praise calmly.
Connell, who was standing next to him, looked confused, he could refute, he had countless plans to refute, but the point was that Lan Li and Jessica were both insolvent, even if he refuted and they refused to be interviewed, he still returned in vain, and in the end it was himself who was embarrassed. It's like now.
Choked directly by Jessica's unhurried words, and almost rolled his eyes, Cornell only felt that he couldn't change it in one breath, his chest was very tight, and his heart and liver hurt badly.
Biting the tip of his tongue, Cornell forced himself to calm down and reorganized the language, "So you're dating." When the hell did you meet? Is this your first date?Why didn't Jessica go on the red carpet with you at the Golden Globes?Will Jessica be with you next at the Oscars?Are you on vacation now?How far is the relationship going?"
Cornell is not afraid that they will not defend, what he wants is their justification, not the scandal, he can make up nonsense here for an entire afternoon, and see when Lan Li and Jessica will open their mouths to refute, if they don't refute, he will go back and write out this scandal. Anyway, journalists are always invincible, aren't they?
But Cornell was disappointed, and neither Lan Li nor Jessica had any intention of answering, as if there was just a fly flying in their ears, and both of them seemed to be at ease.
"Jessica, do you know that Lan Li is only twenty-one years old this year? he is twelve years younger than you, do you mind? How did you spark the spark?" said Cornell, still unwilling to give up.
Jessica's eyes widened and she looked at Lan Li in surprise, as if to say, "You're only twenty-one?"
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders, pursed his lips, and replied with a calm look, "So what?"
Jessica frowned slightly, shook her chin slightly, and looked critical, "You don't look like twenty-one at all." β
Lan Li's eyes flickered, and she looked Jessica up and down, as if to say, "You're not the same either." β
This look made Jessica's smile bloom, and the lines of her cold and hard face softened, like a gust of spring/wind caressing by.
Cornell felt a tightness in his chest and almost collapsed out of breath. These two people, completely regarded him as air, he chattered for three minutes, but the two of them sat firmly on Mount Tai, sitting calmly and comfortably, just making eye contact. The point is! There is no coffee in front of the two people, and they can actually sit still!
Cornell's anger suddenly soared, and he pulled a chair from the side, and simply added a chair to the table, ready to sit down and fight a long and hard battle.
But at this moment, the waiter came over with two cups of black coffee, and then saw Cornell who was setting up a chair, and he had to say out loud, "Sir, you can't add chairs to this area." If you and your friends would like to sit together, please go to another area where there are free seating and allow everyone to sit together and discuss. β
"Sorry, we don't know this man, he's interrupting our conversation, trying to get us to buy a product called Amway, excuse me, is this allowed in your coffee house?" Lan Li spoke, he finally spoke, but the content of his words made people fall through the glasses, especially his serious face, as if he was in the middle of a formal protest.
Cornell didn't react for a while, and then he noticed the waiter's repulsive gaze, and he quickly explained, "No...... What Amway, I'm not ......"
The waiter took a closer look at Cornell, and then saw the black briefcase he was carrying behind him, bulging with things, and it didn't look much different from those pharmaceutical sales representatives, and Cornell's justification seemed to be just quibble.
Then, he looked at Lan Li again, and Jessica, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he put the tray down, "Sir, please leave." Naturally, this sentence was addressed to Cornell.
Cornell's eyes widened, his pupils vibrated violently, "You!" But all the words of defense were stuffed in his chest, and he couldn't say it, he was aggrieved, he was really aggrieved to the extreme.
"Sir, I politely ask you to leave, or I will use force next. The waiter said righteously, "We do not accept any illegal pyramid/marketing activities here. For the sake of our customers, please leave immediately. β
As he spoke, the other customers around him all looked at him, and the sound of chattering gradually sounded, and the situation was developing in a direction that was becoming more and more unfavorable for him. Cornell glared at Lan Li deadly, he couldn't believe what was happening now, it was ridiculous and funny, he couldn't even get angry, he could only wave his hand at the waiter, "You don't need to rush, I'll leave by myself." β
Cornell walked out two steps, but thinking about it, he was still aggrieved, and couldn't help but walk back again, wanting to say two cruel words, but the waiter followed him step by step, "Sir!" In desperation, Cornell could only leave quickly, standing in the ice and snow, the glass door behind him closed again, and he couldn't help but shiver twice.
The waiter walked back again, placed two cups of black coffee on the table, and said politely, "I apologize again for the accident just now." β
