308 The Snail Girl

Closing the taxi door, Lan Li raised his head and looked at the ancient and rustic building in front of him, but his eyes were full of strangeness. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

This is the new apartment that Andy rented for him, and he moved in after the Toronto Film Festival, but after that, he went to Telluride, then to Los Angeles and London to shoot "Love is Crazy", and then "Fast and Furious/Love 5", and for almost four months, he was on the move, and he lived here for less than a week.

Lan Li didn't even remember the address of the apartment, but asked Andy impromptuly, which avoided the embarrassment of not being able to find a home. After thinking about it carefully, Lan Li could vaguely recall that the interior of the apartment was simple and elegant, but the specific details were only a blur of light and shadow, and it felt that this place was not as familiar as the B&B on Oahu.

"What floor is it?"

Following the fragmented vague memory, Lan Li's footsteps finally stopped at the door of the third floor, and the reddish-brown carved iron door in front of him seemed to be a little impressed, but a little confused, shouldn't it be a heavy dark brown wooden door?

There was a dark gray carpet at the door, and a potted plant of evergreen was placed next to it, these places were excellent choices for hiding keys, but Lan Li never put the key here, he raised his right hand, touched the lintel, and sure enough, he found a retro copper key, every time he went out, he would put the key in the same place - this is the case in Knightsbridge, London, the same is true of the previous shared house, and the same is still the case with the new house.

Opened the door lock with the key, pushed the heavy iron door to the side, and the strange and familiar scene in the house appeared in front of him, and then Lan Li's footsteps couldn't help but stop, and his mind was full of question marks: Is this his home?

The surrounding dΓ©cor was indeed what he remembered, he still remembered the iron pipes exposed above the living room on the right-hand side, a wardrobe in front of it as a partition to preserve the privacy of the bedroom and bathroom, and the kitchen tone of black and navy blue...... These details awaken memories in my mind, and it is indeed what he was like when he moved in.

However, the whole room was clean and quiet, not only did there be no dust accumulation, but everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

Here's the problem, after he moved, all the cardboard boxes were in the same place, not opened, he originally planned to go to Telluride before tidying up, but it still didn't finish, all the items were kept in the packing mode, placed in the open space in the hall.

When he came back, he was still thinking that there must have been dust in the house, and the things in the other party's box were probably "stuffy".

Now, all the boxes are gone, and in their place is a clean and tidy room.

On the huge bookshelf on the right hand side of the bedroom, all kinds of books are stacked with guitars and keyboards in boxes, leaning against the shelves......

The black cabinet behind the sofa is stacked with all his vinyl records, and the middle floor is empty for all sorts of knick-knacks, bullet casings collected during the filming of the "Pacific War", animal teeth given by local aborigines while surfing on the Gold Coast, and Peking Opera porcelain figurines collected by an antique shop owner in London......

On top of the coffee table was a stack of wooden tea coasters, next to which were several boxes of matchboxes from different bars and motels, and his laptop was placed squarely in the center......

Straight ahead, the wardrobe that served as a partition screen was pulled out, the front row was hung, the shirts and suits were all neatly hung, the back row was the shape of the storage diamond square, the T-shirts were rolled into a tube of towels and placed in the checkered, and then the casual jacket and jeans were neatly stacked and placed in the grid......

Lan Li was sure that he didn't sort it out on his own.

There are a lot of things he is not good at, sorting and storage is one of them, in the last life there was Ding Yanan to help, in this life there are servants to help, he once tried to do it himself, but the effect is really miserable, others have to do the work again, but it increases the workload. So, he gave up.

So, what's going on? Andy? If it's about sending people over to clean up regularly, it makes sense, but it's unlikely that he's going to unpack the luggage and tidy up the room, and if Andy plans to help with the tidying up, the one-stop service will be done when he moved before, and he doesn't need to wait until later.

I sat down on the couch, took out my phone, and dialed a phone number.

The phone rang only twice before it was answered, and a voice with a faint smile came from the other end, "I have a sense of foreboding." You didn't call last time you were in London, why did you remember to call me today?"

"You're not the same, why don't you call me when you get to New York?" Lan Li relaxed his muscles and adjusted to a comfortable sitting position. He liked the sofa because it could be used as a bed, and it didn't remind him all the time that he needed to maintain aristocratic manners.

"How do you know I'm in New York?"

"Because I'm sitting in my house right now. Lan Li's answer made the other party stunned, and then there was a sound of accelerated footsteps at the door, and then, Matthew Dunlop's figure appeared at the door, he hung up the phone, looked at Lan Li lying on the sofa, and couldn't help but smile up, "Elizabeth and George will probably smash that set of blue and white porcelain dishes in anger when they see you like this." ”

"This is New York, not London. Lan Li raised her eyebrows nonchalantly.

Matthew put his briefcase on the kitchen table, then hung his coat on the hanger at the door, and hung up the coat that Lan Li had dropped on the back of the sofa chair, and then sat down on the single sofa next to him, "How do you know I'm in New York?" asked the question a second time.

"No one hangs their shirts in a light-to-dark color, and no one puts books and vinyl records in alphabetical order. Except for you. Lan Li complained with disgust on his face.

Matthew is an obsessive-compulsive person, and he also has a cleanliness fetish, everything must be arranged in a certain order, otherwise he will go crazy. His room now has a distinct "Matthew character", the two of them have known each other for almost a lifetime, how could he not recognize it?

"How do you know my address? I don't even remember it. This was what Lan Li was really curious about, and he looked up at Matthew, "Did you call Andy? But how did you convince him? ”

Andy was the only one who knew the address, as Lan Li said, and none of the pioneers in the village knew about it. If it's not Andy, it means that Arthur has found his address through investigation, and although he is not worried, this is not good news.

Matthew gracefully put his right leg on the knee of his left leg, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face, it was rare that he could stump Lan Li, "Your script." When I was in Notting Hill, I asked you what that line of writing in the script was, and you told me. ”

Lan Li thought about it seriously, it should be the script of "Love is Crazy", when he left London, "Speed and Excitement/Love 5" had not yet been negotiated, and he thought that after the filming in Los Angeles was over, he would go home directly. So, at that time, he asked Andy once, the address of his new home.

"Don't worry, Arthur didn't ask me about you. Without any further explanation, Matthew understood Lan Li's concerns, "However, you should know that you don't have much advantage if they are willing to ask. ”

"Buried Alive" has been in the limelight during the awards season, and the BAFTA Awards have also given a lot of attention, and many British media believe that the work is very promising to occupy a place. Along with it, Lan Li's face also frequently appeared in major newspapers and magazines.

Lan Li pursed his lips, "Don't worry, they won't open the entertainment version, even if it's 'The Times'." This made Matthew chuckle, "So, are you here this time for a business trip, or for a temporary stay?"

"I think it's time to get out of London. Matthew said succinctly, "Remember Clive-Reader from law school? ”

The way the British royal family uses to identify strangers by memory is simple, and the addition of a surname to a hometown can often be traced back to the origins.

Cliff Reid, who came from a commoner background, but had excellent social skills and impressive oral skills, during his college years, he mixed well and successfully broke into the circle of aristocratic children, although they were only friends of wine and meat, and after graduation they would take very different paths, but this feat is still very rare.

Now it seems that capable people are really popular everywhere, even if they are out of society, they still break out of the world.

He opened a law firm in New York, along with two other old acquaintances, and Charles of the Dormers family was also a senior partner. They extended an invitation to me, and I came over. In just a few words, Matthew explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and Lan Li could complete the cause and effect by himself.

"What a smart guy. Is he interested in your abilities or your connections?" Lan Li grasped the heart of the matter with unmistakable accuracy.

Matthew gently hooked the corners of his mouth and asked nonchalantly, "Is there a difference?"

Lan Li smiled dumbly and nodded in agreement, "Welcome to New York." As a sign of welcome, I would like to give you this sofa to allow you to continue your stay in my apartment. ”

"Thank you. Matthew rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, then pointed in the direction above his head, "My apartment is upstairs from you, but I still appreciate your generosity in giving up the couch." ”

Lan Li spread out her hands and said seriously, "There's no way, I'm naturally so generous and willing to share." That should be the only thing Elizabeth likes about me. ”
