Looking at the orderly, clean and tidy room, Lan Li was satisfied with his jaw, fortunately there was Matthew to help tidy up, otherwise he really didn't know where to start, "I'm going to be Santa Claus now, how about it, are you interested in being Rudolph?"

No polite thanks, no in-depth investigations, no superfluous pleasantries, everything is so familiar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Matthew showed a shallow smile in his eyes, time and space didn't seem to have changed anything, London, New York, Barcelona, London, New York, Lan Li is still the same Lan Li, the traces left by the years are faintly visible, and the deep impression left by the first meeting when I was a child is still vivid.

"Good. Matthew simply agreed, "It's just right, you can go to the supermarket on the way back, your refrigerator really needs to be replenished, I think it must be very lonely now." ”

"Supermarket shopping?" Lan Li's eyebrows tangled, "But, I still have a job to do, so I won't necessarily stay at home for a long time......, is it necessary?"

There was no need to look back at Lan Li's expression to know what he meant.

Supermarket shopping is another shortcoming that Lan Li is not good at, every time he goes to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, he always loses everything, often remembers this one thing, but forgets another thing, so that he has to turn back many times. Interestingly, Lan Li is very fond of supermarkets, and he often uses them as libraries, but every time he comes back from the supermarket, he is empty-handed.

So, Matthew added, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the shopping, and you'll be in charge of the transportation." ”

Lan Li's brows immediately stretched, pursed his lips, and nodded with a reluctant look, "Driving and handling, I'm still fine." I thought I could buy some snacks and wine glasses, I wanted to have a glass of whiskey last time, I searched for a long time and couldn't find it, by the way, I bought another humidifier, the previous one, I forgot where I lost it when I moved......"

The sound of the door slamming echoed through the stairwell, and Matthew put the key back on the lintel, followed Lan Li, and walked downstairs.

Lan Li and Matthew spent the whole afternoon at Mount Sinai Hospital, and in 2011 the day later, New York's New Year's Eve parties were always so big and so grand that they were unique in the world. Mount Sinai Hospital was also lit up to welcome the New Year.

Although Christmas has passed for several days, Lan Li still gave the children in the hospital her own Christmas and New Year gifts. Gifts are not valuable things, just some small items collected and purchased by Lan Li during the filming and travel, items with special cultural imprints and commemorative significance.

This time, the items are all from South America and Hawaii, with a distinct style, primitive, rough, simple, colorful, and handmade. After opening the gifts, the children were curious to ask about the stories behind the items, and they did not hesitate to share their experiences in the past four months.

As time passes, it becomes irrelevant.

Heather looked at the gift in his hand, it was a colorful woven bracelet, leather and braided rope were intertwined, red, blue, yellow, black, gray, brown and other colors were mixed together, and the touch of his fingertips was very wonderful, as if he had intercepted a piece of the rainbow on the horizon and made it.

"It was given to me by a wandering artist in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, which he was inspired to weave when he left Paradise Falls. It is, he felt, the end of the world and the beginning of life. He always dreamed of being able to go back there, but until he did, he would continue to wander. In exchange, I wrote a song to him. ”

"What song?"

"'Old-Pine. ”

After sending off Lan Li and Matthew, Heather's fingers ran over the bracelet and then awkwardly tried to put it on. It was not an easy task, but this time, she did not give up easily, and after thirteen consecutive attempts, she finally relied on her own strength to tie the bracelet without anyone's help.

Her skin was a little pale because she hadn't been in the sun for so long that she could even clearly see the blue arteries flowing quietly under the almost transparent skin. The rainbow-colored bracelet is quietly tied around the wrist, and the colorful and brilliant colors slowly bloom little by little, as if releasing vitality, dyeing the fair skin with a light color.

Looking at the bracelet quietly, the smile on the corner of his mouth went up.

When I returned to the apartment, night had fallen, and winter New York began to become quite unreasonable, the wind was raging, the ice was biting, the whole city seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, and everywhere in sight there was a cold, indifferent atmosphere, under the cover of the night, slowly spreading.

Pushing open the door, Lan Li carried a heavy shopping bag and walked in the direction of the kitchen, "...... Isn't that too much? I'm serious, and next week I'm probably going to leave again because of work. ”

Matthew was two steps behind, but he saw a strange figure sitting in the hall, and looked at him vigilantly.

It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, but because of his fair and slightly chubby cheeks, his actual age might be older, he was wearing an iron-gray shirt and a black suit, meticulously tying his tie, a slightly bulging belly that made the shirt tight, a kind smile on his face, and a harmless and kind appearance of livestock, which always made people let their guard down.

But it didn't work for Matthew, who could tell that there wasn't much warmth in his narrowed eyes, and he looked like a calculating businessman or a Wall Street elite.

In the face of Matthew's vigilance, the other party did not panic at all and nodded politely.

Then, Matthew saw the young man diagonally opposite the middle-aged man. This young man is very young, and his age should be similar to that of Matthew and Lan Li.

He wore a smoky gray twist knit sweater, a pair of tattered jeans on the lower half of his body, and a slit tearing design made it look scarred, and on his feet, he unexpectedly chose a pair of black brogues, which were originally used for formal occasions and street punk style clothes and pants, which had a serious sense of inconsistency, but they were strangely combined. The bubble noodle-like exploding hairstyle on top of the head completes the look.

Just by looking at the face, the vigorous and slightly immature face left a strong impression.

"Eaton-Dormo?" Matthew's expression remained unfazed in front of the stranger, without much change, even the details of his frowning eyebrows disappeared, but the slightly raised tail note still expressed his confusion.

The young man was also a little surprised, but his expression was much richer, his eyes widened, and he showed surprise, "Matthew Dunlop, aren't you applying for a royal solicitor in London?"

"Do you know each other?" the chubby man sitting in the middle interrupted the communication between the two men, his gaze switching back and forth between the two men, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Lan Li, who walked to the refrigerator, heard a sound behind him, and then turned around, "Hey, Andy, why are you here? Or at this point in time, why don't you say hello in advance?"

Andy Rogers, the uninvited guest sitting in the middle is none other than Mr. Lanley's agent.

Andy couldn't laugh or cry, "I called you five times, and you didn't answer." Without further explanation, Andy's eyes fell on the coffee table, Lan Li's mobile phone was lying there quietly, and then when he looked up, he saw Lan Li shrugging his shoulders, looking indifferent, and Andy could only sigh, "Where's Nathan?"

"I told him to go back first, isn't he looking for a house? and then he's going to live in New York for a while. Lan Li closed the refrigerator door temporarily, walked into the living room, and then saw another figure, "Eton, are you coming to New York on a business trip? or are you following Charles to run errands?"

Charles Dormer, one of Matthew's new senior partners at the law firm, and Eaton is his younger brother.

The Dormers were not traditional aristocrats, they were a family of tailors, the first occupants of Savile Row, the world's premier destination for haute couture. Several generations in a row are talented, and the relationship with the British royal family is close, in Charles's grandfather's generation, he was awarded the Order of the Commander of the Order of the Knighthood, which can be called "Sir Dormer".

Eton, Lan Li and Matthew were classmates in primary and secondary school, and later when they entered university, they went to different schools because of their different ideals. Lan Li and Matthew went to Cambridge University, while Eton went to the University of the Arts London.

In addition to Charles, Eton has an older brother and two older sisters, but Eton is the only one who inherits the mantle of design. If nothing else, the Dormers' haute couture store should be passed down to Eaton.

"Charles is also in New York?" Eaton looked surprised, obviously not knowing anything about it, but then laughed, "No, no, I'm here to expand the haute couture market." I think there's a great partner to work with, and I don't want to miss it easily. ”

Before Lan Li had time to think about these words, Andy stood up and explained simply, "Eaton is a new rising stylist in London, and he came to recommend himself this time, hoping to create your next look for the Golden Globe Awards." But, I noticed that you knew each other before? and this ......."

Lan Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Eaton in surprise, "You have become a stylist, what about your store?" Every store on Savile Row has been passed down through countless ups and downs, and the strict traditions inherited by the family are not inferior to those of the aristocracy.

Andy looked at Lan Li helplessly, laughed, and coughed lightly twice, "Lan Li, why don't you introduce us first? ”
