2146 Emotional Negotiation
Edith leaned back a little, her eyes full of surprise and Lan Li, like a hedgehog with spikes erected all over her body, "...... Who the hell are you? Jesus Christ, my hairs stand on end now, what the hell are you planning? Is it another prank?"
This isn't a normal Edith, and it's not a normal Lan Liβ
Brain to make up, holding a glass of red wine during afternoon tea, whispering to Arthur, gossiping and rolling his eyes, gearing up to care about those parents of the short Lan Li?
The smile in Lan Li's eyes swelled slightly, and he even chuckled happily.
This made Edith roll her eyes, "If you're going to reveal your identity and leave now, I don't want anything to do with you." With that disgusted look, I can't wait for Lan Li to leave immediately, as if Lan Li is some virus that can't be contaminated, lest I be implicated like this:
"Super Marines" is currently in theaters, and the box office figures are very good, and the four-panel comic of "Blue Rite and Big White" is spreading like a virus. Therefore, strictly speaking, Lanli is indeed a "virus" now.
However, Edith will never admit that she has just flipped through those four-panel comics - the Lan Li under the fan filter is simply too beautiful to say, there are too many slots to spit out, if they know the true face of Lan Li in real life, it is estimated that they will all be collectively disillusioned;
"I'll leave now. Lan Li's eyes were full of smiles, so crisp and neat, but it made Edith more and more vigilant - this is definitely a cat.
Sure enough, Lan Li then added, "I just have one question, why do you all come to me when you have a problem? So, do you want me to interfere, or do you want me not to interfere? To be honest, I'm a little confused, because you know I don't care, right?"
"......" Edith grinded her teeth secretly, if she could, she would want to bite Lan Li hard right now, damn it.
From Edith to Arthur to Evans, everything was like this, including now, if it weren't for Arthur, Lan Li wouldn't have made a special trip.
Looking at Edith who gritted her teeth, Lan Li was very serious: because he was really curious, they knew that Lan Li was just a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't care about anything, but they still came to the door, so what reaction did they expect Lan Li to give?
This...... Can it be considered masochistic?
Edith wanted to curse, but in the end she suppressed her urge and complained viciously, "Since you don't care, why are you still here?"
"I don't care about those worries of Chris Evans, but I care about you. Lan Li gave an answer, which made Edith directly stunned, "If you ask me, my answer is very simple: I respect your choice and sincerely hope that you can be happy, and this is the only thing that matters." You should calm down and think about what you really want, and whatever decision you make in the end, I will support your choice. β
Very simple and mysterious words, which made Edith directly stunned, "Even if I choose to give up my job as a war photojournalist and choose to get married and settle down, you support it?"
"If that's what you want. Lan Li replied in the affirmative.
"But what if I'm wrong, what if I regret it?" asked Edith urgently.
Lan Li showed a shallow smile, "Each of us will make mistakes, and each of us will regret it, but there is never a right answer in life, who stipulates that you can't make mistakes in life? β
Speaking of this, Lan Li paused slightly, his eyes flickering slightly, "Don't tell me, you still think divorce is a moral thing?" This made Edith sneer, shook her head in the negative, "Then there is no problem, even if we make the wrong choice, we have other choices." No matter what happens next, we can find a solution. β
"Ha ......"
A bright smile bloomed at the corners of Edith's mouth, but her vision was blurred by hot tears, and she tried to open her mouth to say something, but her voice was stuck in her throat, and finally she collapsed completely in embarrassment, burying her cheeks in her hands, and tears slipped down her cheeks.
Lan Li looked away, watching the people coming and going in the airport hall, the busy and noisy scene, no one stopped for them, in a corner, there was a world that was collapsing, and another world was being rebuilt, he knew how difficult and important it was:
Now Edith is the former Chu Jiashu, the former Lan Li, they are so strong but so humble, quietly hiding the fire in their hearts, running and chasing and sprinting cautiously, they are waiting for a sentence, "I will always stand behind you", but they can never wait, so they can only hide their scars, when that sentence appears, they will not hesitate to break their bones.
Edith's emotions were released in an instant, and the mountain collapsed, but after the catharsis, the whole person calmed down, and truly regained her calm, and the past three months have been more calm and determined than ever.
When she raised her head, she saw the handkerchief that Lan Li had placed in front of her, took the handkerchief, wiped the embarrassment on her face, and it rained and cleared.
"I called him. He tried to understand, but he couldn't. Edith said without a head.
He's referring to Chris Evans.
Lan Li is not unexpected, many times life is not so simple, the truth is placed there, but not everyone can understand, even if it can be understood, but not everyone can do it, including Lan Li, everyone is like this, but this is also the meaning of life:
Everyone has their own battle, and if others can't see it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, and this battle is a contest between oneself and oneself.
Evans tried to understand Edith, and he tried and tried, but it was not possible to change fundamentally in a short period of time. Even if it was Lan Li, he could only see through it after he had relived his life, and the disturbances in the red dust were so confused and so entangled.
Edith's short words revealed too much information, and too much helplessness.
"We had a big argument and then I was right here. Edith said calmly, but her deep, nasal voice betrayed her sadness, "You say, what should I do?"
"I'm struggling with me. Lan Li's expression was full of love, which made Edith chuckle - Lan Li was obviously not a fan of Evans, and now Edith asked Lan Li to help them continue the relationship, which was indeed an "excessive" request.
Lan Li thought about it seriously, "I want to say that this is a difference in concept, unless one party is willing to change, this is a contradiction that can never be resolved." β
Lan Li could feel Edith's burning eyes, and he couldn't help but smile, "However, everyone has their own opinions and decisions about when to change and when to change, which is also the most important part of a relationship, let's say, he doesn't like to eat broccoli, but broccoli is your favorite, I believe that such a contradiction can find a perfect solution, and the relationship is carried out in this mutual discussion and exploration." So, you should communicate with him. β
"Lan Li......" Edith tried to plead.
But Lan Li shook his head, "I can't be your mouthpiece, strictly speaking, no one can, and you still need to complete the communication yourself." It's not just love, it's true of any relationship, and only if both parties in the relationship are willing to open their hearts, then things can be resolved. β
ββ¦β¦ You know it's all, right?" Edith was so depressed that she complained straight away.
Lan Li laughed directly, "But you still want to hear my nonsense." β
Edith glanced at Lan Li speechlessly, "Yes, yes, I like to listen to your nonsense the most, and those nonsense is especially meaningful when you tell it." β
It was obviously sarcastic, but Lan Li pretended not to know, and nodded seriously in agreement.
After a pause, Lan Li hesitated a little, but still spoke, "I'm not sure if my next words will make me regret it, but I think if you don't say it, you will definitely regret it." β
"Chris...... He loves you very much. After all, Lan Li told the truth objectively, he wanted Edith to be happy, and if the source of happiness was Evans, then he was willing to accept this fact, "He was trying to make a change, so, he found me - you should know that he took me for a demon." At this time, he didn't forget to joke, "I believe that as long as you are willing to calm down and communicate, he will compromise in the end." β
"......," Edith looked incredulous.
Lan Li explained, "Because the one who loves more is always the one who surrenders first." β
This sentence is meaningful.
Edith couldn't help but fall into silence, and didn't speak for a long time, as if she was digesting the majestic message, and then, she heard Lan Li's words ringing in her ears, "Also, come back alive, otherwise I will be uneasy for the rest of my life." Edith jerked her head up, catching Lan Li's deep, bright eyes, looking at her with determination and concentration.
She couldn't capture Lan Li's true emotions, but she could detect Lan Li's fear from that sentence, and this thought hit the deep weakness of her heart hard, and then the words stuck in her throat.
But Lan Li didn't need Edith to answer, but smiled and nodded slightly, "I still have a flight waiting to take off, so I won't stay here." By the way, I should be in London this Christmas, and Rooney should be in the UK, so I discussed with Matthew that maybe it would be a good idea to spend Christmas in London this year. β
After finishing speaking, Lan Li didn't stay any longer, stood up, turned around and took a step, and his figure disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.
But Edith still quietly watched in the direction of Lan Li's departure, for a long time.
