"Knock, knock, knock", the hurried knock on the door, echoed in the dead of night on the street, leaving little time to react, one another, another, continuous, endless, but it leaked the confusion and anxiety of the comers, alarmed the night, and gently rippled.

Even with it, Nathan also quickened his pace, and when he opened the door, he saw a face full of worry, it was Paul Walker.

"How's it going? How is he doing now?" Paul's throat seemed a little dry, and his voice rattled, revealing panic and anxiety.

Faced with such a question, Nathan didn't know how to answer, "...... He's fine. After saying this, Nathan scratched his head in annoyance, his face full of embarrassment, pondering but unable to find a better answer, "That's the way it is, he's fine." ”

This answer was really unexpected, and he was stunned, and the absurd and absurd black humor came to his face, and after a snort, Paul laughed. If Nathan replied that Lan Li was now collapsing, it was likely that Paul would think it was a prank.

Shaking his head slightly, "Where is he? Where is he sleeping now?"

Paul knew that Lance was an avid sleeper. After learning the news, he didn't think much about it, he drove all the way from Malibu, and stood at the door, only then did he remember the time, it was already half past twelve, and Lan Li was probably asleep. "If he sleeps, then I'll come back tomorrow, what time is the plane tomorrow?"

"I'm not sure. Lan Li went back to the room just now, he should have bathed first, and he shouldn't have fallen asleep yet. Nathan moved out of the way and motioned for Paul to come in, "Tomorrow is the 11:25 plane." ”

Nodding, Paul understood, walked to the door of Lan Li's room, gestured to Nathan, and opened the door of the room lightly, and then the warm orange light in the room leaked out, and Lan Li had not yet fallen asleep.

A few pieces of clothing were scattered haphazardly on top of the neat beds, and socks, towels and shoes were scattered on the neat floors. Looking around, the bedroom with navy blue as the main color is elegant, classical and elegant, simple and neat, but empty, Paul walked into the room with a light step, stood on tiptoe to walk around the fallen clothes, and then saw the blue rite on the balcony.

The rich night sparsely outlines the contours of the figure, unwavering, unmoving, there seems to be nothing abnormal, the hard jaw curve, the firm shoulder line, the straight spine line, everything is so calm.

However, the cigarette that rotated flexibly on the slender fingertips was not lit, and the fragments of tobacco fell down, and before they had time to stay, a gust of wind blew away without a trace, and the shadows of the drooping eyelids revealed a touch of loneliness and helplessness, and the sadness and bitterness in the dazed were like curling green smoke, which would be dispersed as soon as it was blown.

This kind of blue gift is really too unfamiliar.

In a panic, Paul quickly lowered his head, hiding the turbulence in the depths of his eyes.

As an actor, Paul knows how difficult the media is, and how hurtful the feedback on the Internet is, even if he is as low-key as him, the bad comments on the Internet are unbearable, Paul can't imagine what kind of pressure and pain Lan Li is under in the face of such an overwhelming negative news, in the face of such a change in heaven and hell.

Imagination is so scarce and empty. The moment he saw Lan Li's back, Paul couldn't help but look away.

His steps were slightly unsteady, his knee hit the frame of the sliding door, and with a muffled sound, Paul's eyes crashed into Lan Li's eyes, catching a flash of laughter in his eyes.

The familiar gentleman, the familiar warmth, the familiar calmness, but dyed with a faint layer of loss, as if at low tide, the white waves that are reluctant to leave on the beach leave shallowly and sparsely leaving continuous fine sand.

Paul touched his neck uncomfortably, "...... Are you alright?" Paul himself closed his eyes in frustration, his face crumpled. This is the worst, most boring, and most useless opening statement. He could have been a little more clumsy.

"No, I'm not good. Lan Li's answer made Paul open his eyes and said in a panic, "I know, I know ......" but the words suddenly stopped in his throat, and he looked at Lan Li in a daze, and stood in place for a while, at a loss.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose up, and he smiled, but he sighed, "Paul, I'm not good." ”

In the last life, Chu Jiashu didn't have anyone to talk to, because his mother was under too much pressure, and he couldn't add more troubles to his mother, and everything was silently hidden in his heart.

In this life, Lan Li did not have anyone to talk to, because there were no troubles allowed in the aristocratic circle. All negative emotions must be tightly hidden in the bottom of the heart, and cannot be easily leaked, otherwise it will become a scandal.

However, Lan Li refused to follow the rules. Whether it was the mischief of Eton College and Cambridge University, or the bold and arrogant choice of actor's path, he never really hid his inner desires.

For Elf, for George and Elizabeth, Lan Li never hid it, but he never showed it, because he knew that they didn't care, but for Arthur, for Edith, Lan Li never hid his negative emotions.

"You know, just a week ago, I felt like I had the whole world. Lan Li said with a smile, his eyes fell on the undulating colorful points of light in the distance, compared to New York, the night scene of Los Angeles added a touch of magnificence and romance, and the irritability gradually precipitated.

"I won the Silver Bear in Berlin, I was nominated for an Oscar, and as an actor, I finally achieved my dream, I was recognized by professionals, and I can continue to explore the world of acting and strive for higher heights. It's wonderful. Lan Li's tone was very calm, without self-pity, and even with a hint of cheerful joy, the corners of his mouth curled up.

However, the bitterness and embarrassment that entwined it have always lingered. It's like the loneliness and loneliness of people walking away after a grand party, how crazy and joyful the party is, and how violent the emptiness and helplessness at the end are.

Paul sat down beside Lan Li and involuntarily exhaled a bad breath, he was not a good enlightener, at least, he could be a good listener.

"You know, standing on the stage of Madison Square Garden, for a moment, I really thought that my persistence and my dream had finally found a companion, and the album 'Don Quixote' had finally found a listener. They really understood me. Lan Li lowered her eyes and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Whew, it seems that I am still too naïve." Perhaps, I am an idealist and have never really understood the industry. ”

"Lan Li. Paul opened his mouth to call, but countless words swirled on the tip of his tongue, but he could not speak. Or more accurately, he didn't know where to start.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth twitched slightly, "At least, I used to think that at least they should understand that I am a smart person, even if it is hype, I will choose a more clever method." What the hell is wrong with them, am I so stupid in their eyes?"

The teasing tone made Paul cry and laugh, and he shouted speechlessly, "Lan Li!" and then saw Lan Li laugh out loud, a mischievous light flashed in his eyes, Paul shook his head helplessly, "That's because they never really knew you, or they never really tried to understand you." ”

Anyone who has ever been in contact with Lan Li does not need to understand or make friends, even if it is just a one-sided relationship or a nodding friend, they should clearly know that Lan Li is absolutely impossible to maliciously hype.

Maybe other accusations are a little more reliable, such as playing a big name, in the crew, when Lan Li devoted himself wholeheartedly to the script, he was indeed a very big name, and even the director did not dare to interrupt Lan Li's preparations.

Another example is high pride, for Vin Diesel, for Chris Hemsworth, for reporters, the kind of condescension revealed in Lan Li's words and deeds is really uncomfortable.

But, malicious hype? This is definitely the most ridiculous accusation. But on the contrary, those netizens believed it, and they believed it like this.

"It's not them that you need. Paul said firmly.

Lan Li raised his head, and then he saw Paul's clear and transparent eyes, without any concealment or impurities, unswervingly expressing his support and trust. The pure and sincere light revealed a faint warmth, melting the pain and sharpness little by little.

Paul was not a man of words, but he was a man of great warmth.

In that frank and sincere look, Lan Li was a little embarrassed. lowered his eyes in a panic, then raised his eyes again and looked at the night scene, "A friend once said that blind obedience is too little, and one confidant is enough." Now, I finally understand what that means. ”

There are some truths that can only be understood when you have truly experienced the pain. Now, it's time to see the reality clearly, after the bubble of blind obedience disappears, the one who sticks to it is the real confidant, even if there is only one, that is enough.

Paul looked at Lan Li seriously, and didn't react at first, but then, gradually understood, so the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, and he climbed up little by little, especially looking at Lan Li's pretended calm side face, the smile finally bloomed brightly, and let out a low chuckle, "Who is this friend? I think he is a guy full of wisdom." ”

"Who?me?, are you talking about me?" a voice came from behind him again, and Ryan Gosling's figure appeared in the sight of the two men.

At this time, Ryan looked a little embarrassed, with extremely messy short hair, and simply wore a T-shirt with a denim jacket, but the buttons were completely wrong, and he looked like he had gone out in a hurry, and there were red marks pressed from sleep on his cheeks.

Ryan strode in and pushed Lan Li and Paul to the other side with his knee, "Let's get a place." As soon as he sat down, Ryan began to pull candy out of his pocket, handed it to Lan Li and Paul, and added, "Tonight, I don't accept rejection. ”

After Lan Li and Paul obediently picked up the candy, Ryan peeled one open and threw it into his mouth, "So, what are we doing now? Swearing the media? Cursing netizens? Or are you in a daze? Hurry up, update me on the progress." ”
