089 Light up the world
Heather crossed her hands over her chest and thought about it seriously, "Bad news. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lan Li couldn't help but smile, this choice is not unexpected, choose pain first and then welcome happiness, unlike most Americans, Heather was already very precocious at a young age, and the disease of ALS made her gradually lose her vitality. But as a bystander, Lan Li couldn't really feel Heather's pain, and all he could offer was a friend's waiting.
"I'm going to be out of New York for a while, maybe not as long as the last time, but at least a month to two months. Lan Li carefully looked at Heather's expression, the last time he left without saying hello in advance, it was a blow to Heather, so this time he chose to take the initiative to tell him in advance, hoping to make some psychological preparations.
Unexpectedly, Heather nodded, with a calm and calm face, "So, what about the good news?"
At this time, Lan Li was a little confused, but he continued, "I'm about to star in a new work. This time it's a movie. ”
"So you're leaving this time to go out to shoot this movie?" Heather reacted immediately.
After seeing the "Pacific War", Heather understood that Lan Li's departure was not to abandon her, but to chase her dreams, which was a good thing, wasn't it? At least one of the two of them was running tirelessly. Therefore, hearing the news that Lan Li was about to leave again, Heather was a little disappointed in her heart, but more happy.
"Well, the film is going to Spain. Lan Li can capture the mixed emotions in Heather's eyes, a faint mixture of excitement and a faint sense of loss, but at least this is a positive signal, "The cost of the crew is not too much, and there is no way to rent a studio in Los Angeles or Toronto, so you can only go to the investor's home base, where you can rent all the relevant equipment at the lowest price." ”
"Buried alive" was filmed in Barcelona, and although Lan Li and Rodrigo had to fly to Europe, the cost of travel was a bit cheaper, but it was more than a little cheaper than renting a studio in Burbank. Next week, Lan Li will fly to Spain with Rodrigo.
"Haha, does that mean I'll be able to see you on the big screen then?" Heather was only fifteen years old after all, and her emotions couldn't help but be cheerful, "Seeing a friend I know on the big screen? God, it's the coolest thing in my life, I have to send a message to Facebook to make my classmates jealous." ”
Lan Li did not puncture Heather's dream bubble, "Buried Alive" is an independent film, whether it can find a distributor is still a problem, even if it is found, it is likely to be a small-scale screening, it is difficult to achieve a real large-scale screening, the most realistic result is to land in art theaters.
However, these are all things for later, and now looking at Heather's excited smile, why should he analyze all the uncertain things in the future?
"I'll show my best side and make your friends envy me until my stomach hurts!" Lan Li clenched his fists, a look of determination, which made Heather laugh, "Okay, the show-off thing needs to be put aside for a while, we should go back now." Lan Li pointed to the two figures who had never left the gate, "I'm not sure if your parents are worried about your health, or if they're worried about me doing something out of the ordinary?"
When it comes to the ability to talk nonsense seriously, Lan Li is definitely a genius, and Heather laughed completely and couldn't speak.
Lan Li stood up and stretched out his right hand to Heather, "How about it, should we keep them on their minds and keep the suspense to the end?"
Heather's smile paused on her lips, and she knew that Lan Li was giving her a step down.
Her legs were already a little swollen, and she had been standing for more time than she could today, but she didn't want to admit that she was weak, because she hadn't been so happy in a long time, whether it was flying a kite or listening to music.
Now, Lan Li has reached out in a half-joking way to solve her problem. However, looking at Lan Li's smiling eyes, Heather couldn't help but blush a little and her heart jumped.
Cautiously, he raised his right hand and placed it in Lan Li's palm, and then tried to stand up. I didn't want to, but I sat down on the bench again on the first attempt, the pain in my legs crushed over the weak muscles, and all my thoughts disappeared in an instant, leaving only pain, irrepressible pain.
Heather couldn't help but close her eyes tightly.
"Come on. Heather heard Lan Li's figure sound again, she opened her eyes again, and then saw Lan Li's broad shoulders facing away from her, and the guitar had been turned in front of her, "Although I don't want your parents to misunderstand, but now it seems that Prince Charming must go into battle." ”
The banter made Heather laugh again, and the words of refusal came to her lips, but she swallowed it after all. Then she leaned forward slowly, and the whole person lay on Lan Li's back, and the strong and warm back seemed to be a calm harbor, which made her breathe softly.
Then, Lan Li stood up and walked towards the hospital in an orderly manner.
Lan Li didn't speak, because Heather was really too light, as if she didn't have much weight. She was only fifteen years old, which was the age when she should grow and gain weight. This made Lan Li's mood settle down, even though he had long been accustomed to the ups and downs in the hospital, but this was a lesson that could never be learned, and every heaviness and sadness would not be reduced.
At a distance of no more than fifty yards, Heather fell asleep on Lan Li's back, and fell into a deep sleep.
Heather's father, Derek-Cross, greeted him and wanted to take over Lan Li's job, but seeing Heather sleeping, he didn't continue to ask for it at Lan Li's insistence, and escorted Heather back to the ward.
Ellie-Cross called the doctor and did a brief check-up for Heather. Fortunately, there is no big problem, just a little edema, and there is no problem with a massage break.
"Thank you, Lan Li. Elle left the ward with Lan Li and smiled to express her gratitude, "Thank you for the kite you gave Elle, she loves it very much." In fact, if it weren't for this kite, she wouldn't be willing to try to get out of bed today. ”
Lan Li waved her hand and denied it again and again, "The kite is just a reason, what really helps her is everyone's efforts." Reining in his usual teasing, Lan Li scratched his head, "I hope Heather's physical therapy can make progress in the future." ”
ALS is so cruel that there is no cure. At present, we can only rely on physical rehabilitation to maintain the function of the body's muscles and delay the deterioration of the disease. Heather had refused to rehabilitate before, so the disease progressed rapidly. Today, though, Heather is willing to get out of bed, which is a positive sign.
The Crosses had to work a lot of time to pay for Heather's medical bills. However, the two husbands and wives have never put the cart before the horse, and the two have worked together to stagger the time between work and accompanying their daughter, and have always insisted on guarding Heather's side. Honestly, Lan Li couldn't imagine that they could have done better.
"Thank you. Elle thanked her again.
Lan Li and Elle walked to the nurse's station together, Elle was going to ask about dinner, Heather was still asleep, and there was probably no way to make dinner on time. Lan Li walked to the elevator entrance and pressed the button, but she couldn't help but look back at Ellie's back, she carefully and seriously asked about all the relevant precautions, that elegant face did not seem to be affected in any way, but the slightly curled fingers revealed her concern as a mother.
It reminded Lan Li of his mother. Not Elizabeth Hall, but Ding Yanan from the previous life.
The aristocratic family demanded restraint and restraint, and did not easily expose their emotions on any occasion, even if they quarreled, they were extremely forbearing, and many times the anger was silently suppressed before the dispute even began. Therefore, every member of their family seems detached and polite, which can also be said to be bland.
Ding Yanan is different, her emotions are hot, rich, and exposed. After the car accident, he once complained about his mother, complained about all the arrangements of his mother, tied his wings, lost his childhood, lost his youth, and ended up with no future. Dan Ding Yanan never complained, silently took all his emotions and persistently accompanied him for ten years - in the literal sense of the word.
Once he woke up in the middle of the night because he was thirsty, and he saw his mother sitting on the windowsill, staring blankly at the darkness outside.
It wasn't until that moment that he really understood his mother's deep love. Perhaps, she did make the wrong choice, perhaps, he did not have childhood and youth, but at least, they still had each other.
Ding Yanan, like Elle, are both mothers, but they are also ordinary people, ordinary people who can make mistakes, regret them, get excited, get angry, and get hurt.
"Ding", the elevator arrived.
Ellie heard the noise, turned her head, waved goodbye, and Lan Li smiled and nodded before entering the elevator. The elevator doors slowly closed.
"Lan Li, Lan Li!" Just when the elevator door was about to close, a crisp voice shouted, Lan Li hurriedly pressed the door opening button, full of the elevator opened, and then saw Anne Silliman's petite figure, her whole person jumped, her face was full of bright smiles, bright eyes eclipsed Polaris, and the cheerful voice was full of joy, "I defecate! I defecate!"
"Well done, girl!" Lan Li also laughed loudly, and immediately raised his right hand, Anne rushed forward and slapped Lan Li's palm accurately, Lan Li gave his thumbs up, "Look, who is the most powerful now?"
"Annie! Annie!" the little girl jumped excitedly, and then, like a tornado, ran out with a puff of smoke, shouting loudly, "I am the best!" and the whole world brightened up at this moment.
