Edith is not a professional war correspondent, she rarely ventures to the front lines, but follows the peacekeepers or the Red Cross to complete the shooting, such as when Sudan ended a seven-year period of chaos, Edith took some photos of the post-war reconstruction there, showing the life of the locals. Edith's strength lies in capturing the demeanor of each individual and telling the stories behind the scenes, rather than documenting the humanity in the midst of the bombardment.

However, even in the rear, this is still not a "stable" job, after all, Edith still has to go to those areas left behind by chaos and conflict, maybe there are mines hidden on the road, maybe the hostile forces are accidentally injured in the attack, maybe the high-risk buildings have collapsed, even if the friendly and hostile forces have reached a consensus not to attack the Red Cross and war correspondents, but in the powder keg, anything can happen.

Those crises hidden in daily life are impossible to prevent and are far from a peaceful living environment.

It's a challenging and realistic job. At the same time, it is a job of great importance to society and the world. It's often the case with everyone, if you hear that someone else's child is going to the front line, you will show admiration in your eyes and words, but if you are your own family and friends, your mentality is completely different, even if you know that this is the right thing, you still can't look at it calmly.

Although Lan Li has never talked to Edith face-to-face about her work, he knows that this is her belief and persistence, she always insists on recording those sufferings and pains with her own lens, hoping that more people can realize the importance of peace, and also hope that more people will realize the happiness they have.

"It seems that you are serious about this relationship. Lan Li said aloud, her first reaction slightly surprised Edith, and she looked at her in confusion, Lan Li shrugged, "Otherwise, you don't actually have to tell him, or even if you tell him, you don't need to ask for his consent, even if you have a relationship, but you are still an independent individual." The reason why you say it is in the hope that you will win his support. ”

Edith was slightly stunned, not affirmative, nor negative.

Arthur raised an eyebrow, "I don't know if his denial means that he really cares about you too much." But shouldn't he love all of you, including your flaws, and your dreams?"

"Wow, Arthur, I can't see that you are a hopeless romantic. Lan Li couldn't help but tease

Arthur spread his hands, "Hey, it's not me right now, okay?"

Looking at Lan Li and Arthur coming and going, Edith couldn't help but laugh, and her mood relaxed a little.

After laughing, Edith also reacted, deep down, she still hoped for Chris's support: her hesitation, on the one hand, came from Chris's opposition, which made her feel disappointed, on the other hand, she seriously thought about whether she should choose to stay for Chris's sake but she didn't want to, and this contradictory struggle made her desperately hope that Chris could understand, which just showed that the bond between her and Chris had exceeded imagination.

This thought made Edith a little flustered, she was still not used to such a self, and even rejected such an indecisive and hesitant self, which was what she hated the most.

"I think you should go. Lan Li looked at Edith again.

Arthur also nodded in agreement, "I also think that you should go." Noticing Edith's slightly moved eyes, Arthur added, "Because I know that you will still go even if we oppose it, so it is better to support you, and at least to keep my perfect image, but you had better come back intact, or you may steal the grace of the Blue Rite and become the talk of the town in London." ”

Joked in all seriousness, Arthur was also good at this, Edith rolled her eyes widely, and then turned to look at Lan Li, "Do you think so too?"

Lan Li pursed the corners of his lips and didn't say anything, just said simply, "Fight for it, that's you." ”

Everyone has their own beliefs and beliefs, which in turn create different choices, which may not be understood by others, so support is enough.

Lan Li is like this, along the way, he has achieved glory, but more importantly, his friends have never left, just like the night after winning EGOT last year, standing at the top, and the most urgent need in his heart is to find a figure to walk side by side.

The same goes for Matthew, who wants him to remain as a royal lawyer instead of being confined to his office at Sisyphus Pictures, and Edith, who wants her to enjoy every moment of her life to the fullest instead of being a canary in the Vanity Fair cage in Hollywood.

Only when they fight for their own perseverance and beliefs are they the truest version of themselves.

If Edith really chooses to stay, she will inevitably regret it, she will blame Chris, and she will blame herself, and the most terrible thing is that Edith will no longer be Edith, her character and edges will be smoothed out little by little in love, and she will become another person, and finally lose herself.

In just one sentence, Edith immediately felt the deep meaning, and her eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.

Arthur immediately protested, "Hey, hey, I just said something touching, and you glared at me, and now Lan Li said dryly, and you were moved, isn't this differential treatment too exaggerated?"

Edith grabbed the couch pillow next to her and threw it at Arthur.

Lan Li also gloated and fell into the well, "Arthur, we just said that you are not suitable for acting, so leave such a difficult job to me." ”

Arthur's mouth was curled and his face was full of depression.

Lan Li looked at Edith who was smiling again, "Chris needs to realize that this is the real you, if he loves you, he needs to accept all of you, although it is very, very difficult, if he can't accept it, that's his business, he can make a choice for himself." ”

"What if he chooses to leave me?" Edith also showed a hint of apprehension about gains and losses, and her eyes were slightly dazed, and it could be seen that she really liked Chris.

"That's his loss, he's missing out on the best woman in the world. Arthur added.

Lan Li and Edith both cast their eyes at Arthur, and Arthur lip-synced at Lan Li and said, "Is it too exaggerated?"

Lan Li bowed her head slightly.

Arthur hurriedly looked at Edith, "At least that's what I thought. Seriously. ”

Edith snorted and laughed, looked at Arthur, and then at Lan Li, and laughed extremely happily, "You say, Elph knows, will you be particularly envious?"

"Hmm...... I doubt it. ”

"I don't think so. ”

"She probably thought it was too dramatic. ”

"She should just leave the group. ”

Lan Li and Arthur expressed similar meanings one by one, and then the three of them looked at each other, and smiles flowed from the depths of their eyes.

Arthur and Edith didn't stay long, as Lan Li still needed to rest. Standing in the porch, Edith stopped and asked with a little concern, "Lan Li, are you okay?"

It's not just about physical health, it's about psychological pressure. Although they didn't directly pick it out, but what happened in the magic capital this time, the news media have reported it, Lan Li is now standing on the cusp of the storm, too popular may also create more tribulations, those lonely and lonely pain and torture are beyond the reach of ordinary people, even they have no choice.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth tugged slightly, "Don't worry, at least I'm in a better condition than you." Are you sure? You're still eager to go into those conflict-ridden battlefields?" Lan Li was actually a little worried, but he chose to respect Edith as if Edith respected him.

Edith didn't answer immediately, but thought about it seriously, "Lanli, you know what? When I stand on that land and smell the sulfur and the smoke of gunpowder, I will know that I am still alive and that I still need to exist for them. Edith then looked up into Lan Li's eyes, "It's like you're standing on a stage." ”

Lan Li showed a big smile, "Hmm. Then go for it. ”

Arthur and Edith left one after the other, and the next day, they would spend two more days in Honolulu, and Lan Li would need to be filmed and unable to entertain them, but they were both adults and could take care of themselves, and the rest was not for Lan to worry about.

Turning around, he returned to the room, sat down heavily, and threw himself into the pillow of the sofa with complete relaxation, his muscles relaxed, and then he closed his eyes firmly. During this time, the double pressure of physical and mental pressure really made him feel tired.

For a long time, it seemed that he was about to enter a dream, but Lan Li opened his eyes again, found his mobile phone on the coffee table next to him, and after opening it, he could see a text message from Matthew:

"Do you need me to come over?"

Matthew couldn't know more about Lan Li's health than Nathan bothered Matthew every once in a while, even if Matthew wanted to pretend that he didn't know, it was very difficult. At the same time, in recent times, Rooney has also been engaged in the filming of new works, and is busy, the two can only communicate through phone calls and text messages, and Rooney wants to rush over to Honolulu but is also powerless.

Matthew, however, sent the text message because he had learned about Elizabeth's blank postcard, even before Arthur and Edith.

This text message was sent before Arthur and Edith appeared, but Lan Li didn't know how to reply, but at this time he calmed down and read it carefully again, and then sent a reply.

"I decided to refuse. ”

After a moment's wait, Matthew's reply came, "Okay." I'm with you. ”

Lan Li didn't reply, put the phone aside, stretched a big lazy waist, and then lay on the sofa and fell asleep groggily.
