The sound of the rain gently pounding on the window lattice, the lazy and old jazz music echoing in the ears, and the whole world was filled with a sense of serenity.

Lan Li leaned against the wall, reading quietly, the aroma of coffee lingering under her nose, and the passage of time seemed to have lost its meaning.

Oulgels held the newspaper high, but showed a pair of eyes above the newspaper, and looked secretly, for fear of revealing his whereabouts, the whole person was uneasy, and he could not settle down at all, and a minute was like a century, and he was tormented, but he didn't know what to do now, it seemed that it was not a good idea to break the deadlock like this, but it was not a good way to continue the deadlock like this, so he was in a dilemma.

In the end, Owgels remained patient and sat still, just like he had always been in the same place, and waited quietly.

At least, he didn't get nothing.

Lan Li arrived at the coffee house fifteen minutes early, not too early or too late, maintaining etiquette without being too eager; Lan Li was obviously a reading enthusiast, and it could be seen from the bookmarks and the way he entered the reading that he should have been reading on the way to the coffee house, and now he was able to maintain the same rhythm when he entered the waiting mode; and Lan Li's personality was calm and steady, and he did not feel the impatience and hurry of the twenty-five-year-old at all.

More importantly, judging from the brief conversation between Lan Li and the waiter, Ogles could perceive Lan Li's humility and politeness, so where did the aggressive arrogance and arrogance he felt come from? Maybe it was because there were too few reference samples in the coffee house to get a glimpse of the real situation, or maybe he was wrong in his judgment?

A quarter of an hour had passed since the agreed meeting, and Ogles noticed that Lan Li looked up twice, once to ask for the address of the waiter's green coffee house, which he didn't know why Lan Li wanted to confirm the address, and once to look around the coffee house, as if to confirm something, and perhaps Lan Li looked up more times, and Ogles couldn't be 100% sure, because he had to hide his whereabouts for fear of being discovered, and most of the time he had to hide behind the newspaper.

Ogles couldn't tell exactly what was going on with Lan Li, he wasn't anxious or angry, he didn't even seem to have too many mood swings, which was really too abnormal;

But Ogles can't walk over directly like this, which is equivalent to directly revealing his whereabouts, he needs to sneak out of the coffee house first, don't alarm anyone, and then come in openly, pretend to be late, and see how Lan Li handles it.

Silently left the cash on the table, then put on his black trench coat, held the collar high to cover his face, and walked along the edge of the seat all the way out of the coffee house—several times, he felt as if Lan Li was about to look up, and it was likely that his whereabouts would be exposed, but fortunately, Lan Li did not look up after all, which made Ogs rejoice that he had escaped.

Finally left the coffee house, Ogus stood under the eaves, propped up his black umbrella, walked quickly into the rain, left the block where the coffee house was located, and then made a detour and turned back, and when he came to the door of the coffee house again, he should have been nearly twenty-five minutes late, he was very, very curious about how Lan Li would react, it was bound to be an interesting thing.

He couldn't wait.

Standing at the door of the coffee house, putting away the umbrella, Ogles took a deep breath to adjust his state, then pushed the door into the coffee house, and quickly walked in the direction of Lan Li, with a restrained and shy smile on his face, his eyes were slightly embarrassed, and he said in a slightly panting voice, "Sorry, I'm late." ”

Ogles paused slightly, observing Lan Li's face, and then explained a little awkwardly, "...... Rain...... transportation, I had to take the subway...... I'm really sorry. In fact, Owgels didn't know how to hide it, acting was not his strong point, so he adhered to the principle of "saying more and making more mistakes, saying less and making fewer mistakes", and explained the situation in this way, which coincided with Eggs's original character.

Lan Li closed the book in his hand, kept smiling, looked up at Ogels, patiently waited for Ogles to complete his explanation, and after making sure that there was no follow-up, he said politely, "It's okay." After a pause, Lan Li continued, "I often get late because I get lost, but this is my personal reason, so I tend to arrive at the scene many times early, lest I miss an important appointment, but when I encounter an objective situation, I will be relieved, at least I tried to work hard, although the mistake is also mine, but at least I can find someone to blame." ”

So, is the last sentence complaining about Lan Li himself, or complaining about Ogels, or complaining about other people?

Several thoughts popped up in Ogles' mind at the same time, as if angels and demons were pulling, and he didn't know how to react for a while, he looked at Lan Li a little awkwardly, and blinked, "Uh...... You mean ......?"

Such a sincere and straightforward reaction made Lan Li laugh dumbly, "I mean, weather, you can blame the weather, I don't think you should be sorry." Even after 20 years of living here, we still have no way of figuring out what the weather is like in this land. ”

It dawned on Ogels.

Lan Li held his forehead a little, which was supposed to be a joke, to resolve the embarrassment for Ogs in a humorous way, but Oglets was not able to understand, which also made Lan Li's abacus fail, and the atmosphere became awkward and jerky again, but Lan Li did not panic, and continued calmly, "Please take a seat." Coffee, or tea, on a cold rainy day, you always need a hot drink to dispel the dampness. Black tea is never the wrong choice. ”

"......" Ogles really couldn't keep up with Lan Li's thinking rhythm, but he still nodded, "Tea, black tea is very good, no problem." ”

Hesitantly taking off his windbreaker jacket, Ogles looked at Lan Li, who was like a master and beckoned the waiter to order, and his whole calm and relaxed appearance was not flustered, as if being late had never happened, but Ogles panicked, he thought that Lan Li would ...... He didn't know what would happen to Lan Li, but this was definitely not the Lan Li he remembered.

"So, didn't my tardiness bother you at all?" After Lan Li finished placing the order, Ogles still asked, "I mean, today's date was my proposal, but I turned out to be late, and I was almost thirty minutes late, this is really rude, don't you mind?"

"Eggs, I thought this was over. Lan Li said with a smile, but this time, he didn't say a word, but said seriously, "Of course, being late is not a good thing, but I don't think it's a terrible thing, if it weren't for the mistakes and setbacks that have been made again and again, then life will never change, countless sciences are born in accidents, and countless arts are also born in mistakes, we don't need to hold on to a mistake, right? After all, there are more and better things waiting for us." ”

"For example, we can have a good discussion about the character of David in 'The Lobster'. Lan Li showed a big smile, "Ogles, I know I'm not your first choice, maybe not even on your list of choices, Jason Clark and I are two different styles of actors. ”

Oucks couldn't help choking: Oops, seen through.

"But who knows? Choosing a seemingly wrong actor may be able to create more sparks, you left Greece and came to England because you wanted to take on some different challenges, so why not try to see more breakthroughs?" Lan Li looked at Ogles brightly, "How is it, are you ready? I can discuss with you my opinion on the character of David, hoping to rub a different inspiration." ”

Ogles just stared at Lan Li quietly, all the thoughts in his mind were stuck.

He can feel Lan Li's sincerity, but also feel Lan Li's focus, that enthusiastic devotion is enough to deeply infect every film creator, that pure and simple joy, revealed in every word and deed, even with Ogles also excited.

This is not the blue gift in Ogels's impression, but it is also the blue gift in Ogels's impression - he poured all his enthusiasm into a role, actively fought for the role, and sincerely hoped that he could become a part of it, even if there was a collision in the process of burying his head in the process, he still couldn't stop the inner impulse and excitement, so he sprinted regardless of it.

It is true that Lan Li's initiative did not leave room for Obels' refusal, but definitely not because of arrogance, but because of love.

Suddenly, Ogles realized that although Lan Li was not the same kind of person as him, Lan Li was actually a very pure and very simple person, and he threw himself wholeheartedly into the performance, and this enthusiasm and passion from the depths of his soul made him see his own projection - only in a different way of expression.

He didn't like Lan Li's expression, but he knew that Lan Li and his goal had always been maintained.

Ogles' stomach began to burn, and he realized that his temptation was too cheap and too clumsy, and he had become incomparably small in front of Lan Li.

He should apologize to Lan Li, not for being late, but for his own temptation.

"Lan Li ......" Ogles hesitated, his expression and movements were extremely stiff, this was not the rhythm he was used to, but he still had to finish it, "Actually, I have already arrived at the coffee house, even before you, I have been sitting in that corner, watching your every move. ”
