2118 Road Trip
"Uh...... Hope, do you need me to sit in the middle?" the man said.
"No, don't worry, there's plenty of space here for me to handle. Wait, or do you mind? If you're worried about William, there's no need at all, William is a woman to me, and I don't have any feelings for him. Hope said.
"Hey, Miss Hope, please don't insult me, okay?" William protested.
"You mean, he likes men? I don't have a problem with that. Man, it's 2014, it's New York, there's no need to care about these things. The man said again.
"Charlie, Charlie! Although the brotherhood of William and Graham did cause us many misunderstandings, there was no spark of love between them. He likes women. Hope said this, stunned, "Wait, William, are you sure you like women?"
"Hope, don't force me to do it. William gritted his teeth.
Then, the man stepped forward and said, "Man, I'm here." If you want to do it, you need to ask my opinion. I don't think it's a good idea. ”
The whole carriage looked at each other, William cast his gaze at Tessa and Graham, and the three eyes met in the rearview mirror, and finally they all started to coax, roar, Hope, Hope, have a boyfriend, this is definitely the biggest breakthrough of the year. ”
"That's it, I must tell the young master!"
"Haha, I didn't expect that Hope actually found a boyfriend, incredible!"
"Does that count as a broken glass?"
Watching the three friends chattering and coaxing, Hope couldn't help but hold her forehead: she knew that this group of guys must be like this! But because of the tight time and busy work, she never had time to tell everyone, nor did she have time to notify in advance, and then ...... And then it went like this.
Charlie Bowen was a little stunned, he didn't understand what was going on, William just looked annoyed and angry, why did he turn his head and coax collectively, but he gradually reacted, obviously this group of friends is joking with each other, the intimacy and familiarity between them are not so particular at all, and they have always maintained the purest and most sincere emotions in the previous study period, which makes him envious.
It's no wonder that when Hope mentioned this road trip, he didn't have the slightest worry or hesitation, and left everything to his friends with complete confidence.
"Good, good, good. Hope spoke, "Calm down, you guys. Isn't it just a boyfriend, what's all the fuss, the last time Tessa and Graham went on a date together, we didn't say anything, don't look like you haven't seen the world......"
But before they could finish their words, Tessa and Graham both protested, "That's not a date" and "That's just dinner."
Hope waved his hand nonchalantly, "You say yes, that is." The hastily coping appearance choked both Tessa and Graham, and William giggled alone and couldn't help but laugh.
Hope then took the initiative to introduce, "Charlie, this is William, Graham and Tessa, a couple of our Don Quixote chapter leaders; After a pause, he added, "My boyfriend." ”
"Roar, roar, roar!"
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The three of them were extremely exaggerated, William even slapped the back of the seat to make noise, and Tessa also picked up a mineral water bottle as a sand hammer to accompaniment, and the noise in the carriage already made the eardrums feel uncomfortable.
Hope looked at Charlie with some helplessness, "They...... That's what they are. When we get together, it's always very noisy and lively, sorry. ”
Charlie put his arm around Hope's shoulders and showed a big smile, "Don't worry. I love it. Honestly, there's also a little bit of jealousy, because you have such a group of friends, and because they see your hidden side, which is the part that I've always wanted to know. ”
Hope's cheeks were slightly hot.
"Wait, wait, what are you whispering?" William was the first to notice the anomaly and shouted loudly.
Hope was about to speak, but Charlie gave her a look and motioned for her to be calm, and then he sat up straight and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Hey, everyone, I'm Charlie, sorry for not informing you in advance, I joined this road trip, but I'm a good driver, I can help drive, and besides, Hope said, I'm a very talkative person, so I'd love to join in the conversation and keep this trip fun." ”
"Do you know the purpose of our road trip?" asked Tessa, curious.
"Of course, of course!" Charlie cleared his throat, "yes, I know. Hope was confident that it would be a very interesting trip and she assured me that I would love the Blue Gift after the trip. ”
"What? you mean, you used to dislike Lan Li?" Tessa screamed in surprise, "I can't believe such a creature exists. ”
It was a joke, and both Hope and William laughed.
Charlie also smiled, "Yes, I haven't been much interested in Lan Li, I just like movies." But Hope has taught me a lot of science today, and I must admit that she is a very conscientious ambassador......"
"So, you mean, you live in New York and you didn't attend the concert of Lan Li, Jesus Christ!" William exclaimed, "What about the pioneer village? You haven't been there and haven't been?"
"William, that's not the point. Tessa immediately dissuaded, "Charlie, I'm Tessa......"
"I know, you're the one who saw Lan Li at the Toronto Film Festival, fell in love with him at first sight, and then fell in love with his talent, right?" Charlie saw Tessa's eyes light up, and Charlie smiled, "Hope told me about your story and those memories of following Lan Li. ”
Tessa suddenly realized, "Oh, so, Hope told you all and betrayed us all. That playful look was cast at Hope, which made Hope call out Tessa in annoyance, and Tessa laughed happily and looked at Charlie again, "So, what is your story about, can you update us on it?"
Suddenly faced with the forced confession of a group of friends, Hope was a little awkward, but Charlie was very generous.
"Of course!" Charlie said sharply, "we met in the pantry and talked about the movie, and the main topic was the recent premiere of 'Interstellar,' which Graham had livestreamed in Hollywood, and we had a casual conversation......
"You're in the same company as Hope?" William keenly sensed a message.
Without waiting for Charlie to answer, Hope rolled his eyes, "Yes, we are colleagues, and he is more senior than me, we became familiar because we discussed the young master together, and after a few dates, the relationship was naturally determined, okay, that's all." You can all be quiet. ”
"Please, Hope!"
"Hope is shy, hahaha. ”
"Charlie, do you know? Hope is usually a big boy, like a boy, except for the young master......" William's words were interrupted by Hope before he could finish speaking, and William screamed, "Murder! This is murder! Hope, this is not a secret, Don Quixote probably knows it, and when he arrives in Orlando, Charlie can also inquire about it." ”
William's words caused Hope to cover his cheeks in frustration, "Ah, I regret it. "I regret bringing Charlie on this road trip.
Charlie pulled down Hope's hands with a smile on his face, his face was bright, "Don't worry, if I choose to break up because I saw your true side, then I am not worthy of your continued relationship, am I?"
"Ahhh
But Charlie was very calm, turning his head to meet Tessa and William's gaze, "We really got to know each other because of the premiere of 'Interstellar', otherwise before that, we were just two strangers working together, but later, we unexpectedly learned that each other likes movies." ”
"Of course, what I like is movies, and what she likes is Lan Li. Charlie also teased, and Hope wordlessly bumped Charlie with his elbow, which made Charlie laugh, "However, Hope told me a lot of things, those stories of your past, those stories of following Lan Li, those ups and downs of memories, I can't imagine that the 'Dream Back to the Kerosene Lamp Bar' concert is so important to you that it makes me start to think, are these concerts, these movies, and these memories more vivid than movies?" As a result, I missed the opportunity to meet Hope sooner. ”
Charlie's words once again made a voice of envy resound in the carriage.
Charlie continued, "So, when Hope said that you guys were preparing this road trip, that you were going to make a special trip to Orlando for the premiere in support of the Blue Ceremony, and that it was the first time in half a year that we were together again, I thought, this time I can't miss it, I should be a part of it." ”
Although "Super Marines" is just an animated movie, it is still a special opportunity for them to get up close and personal with Lan Li, and more importantly, it is a chance for Don Quixote to reunite, or a journey for them to relive their memories - to leave their work life for a short time, to enjoy a vacation, to escape the shackles of real life, and to truly feel the meaning of their struggle.
Everyone suddenly realized, but William said meaningfully, "I thought you came here to spy on Hope." ”
A small joke, if not handled well, may cause misunderstanding.
But Charlie didn't feel nervous at all, and laughed calmly, "At first, there was something like this, I really proposed to Hope that we should drive there by ourselves, but Hope rejected my proposal, and now I finally know why, that's the real meaning of a road trip." ”
"That's it!" Tessa cheered excitedly, "Remember when we had an all-night queue to attend a concert at the end of last year?"
The road trip with friends is like those youthful memories, crazy, tired, flamboyant, and wanton moments, piecing together those years that will never fade, cherished in the depths of memory, and become the most brilliant chapter of life. It's like a summer flower blooming proudly.
Who would have thought that a "super marine" would bring Don Quixote together again?
