Turning around, before he could take a step, Lan Li saw a familiar figure coming on, the steady footsteps slowed down the rhythm slightly, as if he was preoccupied, every step was very slow and heavy, and his lowered gaze was a little absent-minded, as if he was immersed in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself.

Then, she looked up and saw Lan Li fifteen paces away.

In the long corridor space, the white lights are projected on the white walls, revealing a Berlin-like coldness and alienation, the empty and long passage seems to feel the rapid flow of air, and the gloom of the outside contrasts sharply with the tranquility of the interior, further amplifying the sense of space, but further dulling the sense of time.

In a trance, there is always an illusion of time and space.

The eyes of the two men met in the air like this, and they saw each other.

In an instant, the illusion of time and space changes became vivid and turbulent, and those familiar memories came to life again, surging in the depths of his mind, and the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, just like Anita, the reunion of old friends who revisited the old place always makes people feel cordial.

However, without waiting for Lan Li to take the initiative to say hello, the figure in front of him paused, lowered his eyes again, and seemed to be still deeply immersed in his own thoughts, and then turned around and hurriedly pushed open the stairwell moving door next to him, and in a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared into it, leaving only the flickering and flickering door panel, disturbing the refraction of light and shadow in the line of sight.

Lan Li opened his mouth slightly, completely unaware of the other party's actions, and the first reaction in his mind was: Didn't the other party see himself?

It is completely normal to be immersed in your own thoughts, completely ignoring the changes in the outside world, even if your eyes are staggered but the focus is staggered, so that you can ignore the head-on encounter.

But the next moment, Lan Li saw the door of the stairwell pushed up again, and the departing figure reappeared in sight, she showed a surprised smile, shook her head again and again, sighed incredulous, took the initiative to greet Lan Li, and said enthusiastically and cheerfully, "Jesus Christ, is it really you?"

"I just thought, something is not right, it seems that I met an acquaintance, but I can't say why, I turned back, and sure enough, it's you! God! Why did you come here today? I mean, I thought, you're still filming in the UK, did you make a special trip back for the Gotham Awards?"

The babbling of words echoed through the hallway, some too enthusiastic, some even too pompous, so stiff that it seemed as if ...... It's like the plastic fancy entertainment and politeness on social occasions, and a faint sense of rustiness arises spontaneously.

Lan Li was slightly stunned, as if he was savoring these words, he was strongly doubting whether he had a paranoia of victimization, he had stayed in London for too long, and the hypocrisy from the aristocracy made him suspicious, too self-indulgent and cranky.

However, his eyes fell between the other party's eyebrows, but he noticed that the other party's eyes were unnaturally dodging a little, and then, a little jerkyly, pinned the hair that fell down behind his ears, hiding his true emotions in his heart.

Jennifer is a straightforward and straightforward personality, she is not used to and does not like to hide her emotions, and has always shown her most authentic self loudly, both in and out of the play.

Therefore, she is really not good at hiding the small details in her expression.

On the positive side, this is where ordinary people differ from the aristocracy, they are always more calm and pure, while the nobles always wear a strict mask with each other, and although Lan Li is not as skilled as Elph, he is also very good at hiding his true emotions.

But on the negative side, in real life, everyone is learning to wear a mask, which is called growth, and it is also a necessary condition for entering Vanity Fair. Sincerity and purity, no one wants to buy it in Hollywood, and the hypocrisy and grievances in social situations are a must for everyone.

Jennifer, who is a year younger than Lan Li, is now learning this lesson. But judging by today's performance, she still needs to work hard.

Jennifer raised her head again, met Lan Li's gaze with a smile, her expression had returned to normal, her eyes widened, and she quipped playfully, "Why, haven't you seen each other for too long, but you don't know each other anymore?" To be honest, I was also taken aback, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

However, the words and expressions were still slightly exaggerated, revealing the inner tension.

Of course, if it were someone else, they might not be able to detect it, but in front of Lan Li, there was nothing to hide.

George, Elizabeth, Elf, each of them is a master of hiding emotions, and many times, just a change in their eyes can decipher the ups and downs of emotions. Sad or ridiculous, this is an essential skill for aristocratic life, and it must be mastered from childhood.

Lan Li didn't take the initiative to spy, maybe Jennifer is now dealing with personal matters and has a lot on her mind. Everyone has their own highs and lows, which is normal, since Jennifer didn't mention it, Lan Li pretended not to notice, his smile paused slightly, and then he rose again, the intimacy and familiarity in his eyes were slightly restrained, giving Jennifer more personal space.

Finally, in a gentlemanly and polite way, he smiled and teased, "Indeed, I was a little surprised, and the first reaction in my mind was, did the paparazzi notice my trip? ”

The relaxed joke immediately made the other party laugh happily. The laughter, the smile, there is no ladylike image at all, hearty and straightforward, it is still a familiar appearance in the memory, but faintly, you can still feel Jennifer's absent-mindedness, and there is an invisible wall of air between the two people that is slowly erecting.

Thinking about it seriously, Lan Li and Jennifer really haven't seen each other for a long time.

Since the end of the short promotional period of "Edge of Tomorrow", Lan Li and Jennifer have once again devoted themselves to their busy work, and the two new-generation actors are in a state of full work, with no feet touching the ground, and there is no intersection at all.

Later, Jennifer took the initiative to participate in the ice bucket challenge, and called on the friends of the "Hunger Games" crew to join in, making great contributions to the rapid promotion of the event.

But that's about it. Then, six months flew by.

Neither of them expected that they would meet again at Mount Sinai Hospital.

At the beginning, the first formal self-introduction of the two was here, using Heather as a bridge, getting to know each other, and then becoming friends step by step, and even developed a scandal, which caused a lot of discussion in the media.

Both of them are representatives of the new generation with outstanding acting skills, and the two collaborations in "Love is Crazy" and "Edge of Tomorrow" are also full of sparks, so people inevitably have more expectations. Therefore, Lan Li's paparazzi ridicule just now is also a pun, on the one hand, he ridiculed the scandal between the two people, and on the other hand, he expressed his concern that the paparazzi would disturb the peace of the hospital.

"Did you come here to help? Anita and I were just chatting, complaining that there were so many volunteers these days, that the hospital didn't need so many helpers, and that she hoped that other hospitals and medical institutions would get more help. Lan Li said with a smile.

After being promoted by the Heather Cross Foundation, Mount Sinai Hospital became another landmark location, and the number of applications for volunteers skyrocketed to the point of overcrowding.

It would be nice if all of these applicants were genuinely interested in helping, but the problem is that many of them are opportunists, either for self-promotion on the Internet, to make their university resumes look better, or to get the attention of the media.

What's more, Mount Sinai Hospital is not the only medical facility that needs help.

Attention and attention, this is a double-edged sword, which is now becoming a worry and burden for hospitals.

Jennifer nodded in realization, "Yes, Anita and I talked about it just now. Perhaps, we can appeal through social networks, there are many other institutions that need help. ”

Jennifer's proposal was agreed by Lan Li, who continued, "I came here today to visit a couple of children, and they all love the movie 'The Hunger Games', so I just read the original book to them. ”

"Compared to fairy tales, teenagers nowadays are much more exciting. Lan Li also quipped.

Jennifer also chuckled softly and nodded in affirmation, "What about you? Did you come back for the Gotham Awards?"

"No, it's not. Lan Li didn't think much about it, shook her head and denied it, "I'm here to visit Anne. Joss sent me a video of Anne's birthday party a while ago, and sadly, I wasn't able to get involved. So, this time I specially brought a small gift, hoping to create a small surprise. ”

Anne's birthday, immersed in work, Lan Li really forgot. But later, Lan Li made a special call to Anne and asked Matthew to send a greeting card and birthday gifts.

Jennifer showed a look of sudden realization, then blinked her eyes and said playfully, "Trust me, your appearance is the biggest surprise, imagine who wouldn't want to see the handsome and handsome Lan Li-Hall?"

A little joke, I felt Jennifer's usual eccentricity again, and it seemed that she had returned to the filming site of the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew again, and Lan Li's smile involuntarily rose.
