"And what about Chris? Will Chris like the real you?"
After Matthew's question, it was cold again.
Edith cast her gaze towards Matthew with a tangled face, only to find that the iceberg was not moved at all, her face was calm and calm, as if she didn't realize how heavy the focus of this sentence was, but obviously, Matthew knew, but he didn't care, and still continued his usual style.
"Matthew, has anyone ever said that you are annoying every time you speak?" asked Edith solemnly.
Matthew also nodded in affirmation, "Often." I'm a lawyer. ”
Edith instantly turned her head to look at Lan Li, "He's your friend?"
"Matthew. Lan Li turned to look at Matthew.
Matthew picked up his whiskey glass, sipped it lightly, and didn't continue to complain.
However, then Lan Li still looked at Edith and didn't speak, but her eyes couldn't be more straightforward, Edith couldn't help but rub her temples, "What, you agree with his opinion too?"
The story of Edith and Chris, Lan Li didn't ask about, so he didn't know the ins and outs, but it was certain that Chris didn't know Edith's family background and identity, at least, he didn't know that Edith Hall and Lan Li Hall's surnames were from the same family.
For Edith, she has to bear countless pressures for the sake of this relationship, and for Chris, once he learns the truth, he also needs to be mentally prepared, it is a two-way process, just like every marriage, every relationship, this is the story of two people.
"Jesus Christ, I just think he has a good face and a good figure, so it's just a few dates to see, do you need to be so serious?" Edith had a crazy expression on her face and complained depressedly, "Andre has been dating outside, and the three-page girl last Christmas has already broken up, and after that, he has changed at least four female companions, why can't I?" God, I just want to enjoy the surroundings of handsome guys, can't I?"
This time she complained but didn't get a response, Edith looked left and right at Matthew and Lan Li, cast an inquiring gaze, and said with her eyes: Say something, do a response, express an opinion?
"If that's the case, you won't be upset. Lan Li said calmly.
If it's just a date, then all the worries don't exist, Edith doesn't care about Denise's opinion at all, and naturally she won't stay in London for a month, because it's just a date, if you like it, you will continue, and if you get tired of it, you will say goodbye.
It is precisely because she cares, it is because she is excited, and it is because she likes it that Edith stays in London and fights back for this relationship, so Edith is upset and can no longer continue to be free.
Edith opened her mouth to refute, but couldn't find the words, so she cursed in a low voice, "Hell." Then he took a big sip of whiskey and said in a very depressed voice, "But his pectoral muscles feel really good." After saying that, she also glanced at Lan Li and Matthew's chests, "Well, it's much better than yours." ”
"Poof", Lan Li almost choked before he could swallow a sip of whiskey, "Matthew's...... Have you felt it?"
Matthew's head was full of black lines, "The subtext is, she feels you." This is not an interrogative sentence, but a declarative sentence.
"Hey, what's the matter with the disgusted expressions of the two of you? I guess I dislike you, okay?" Edith complained angrily, and then left no room for the two of them to defend themselves, "Stop, I'm the sad one today, you are not allowed to continue complaining, otherwise ...... I'll cry to you!"
Wait, where did this phrase come from?
Matthew and Lan Li exchanged glances, and then Matthew said sarcastically, "Originally, there was nothing, but now I want to see it, what should I do?"
"Get out. "Edith could feel the bruises on her forehead, a mistake, a mistake!
The room was silent again, but there was no embarrassment, the slow flow of tranquility and peace was inexplicably reassuring, unlike in the big mansions of London, which were so empty and chilling that the silence was chilling.
"So, I have to be honest with him, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"Damn it. How should I say, hey, Chris, I'm actually the third daughter of the hereditary baron, and I have a whole bunch of cold-faced vampires in my house, and they have a very, very good opinion of you, how about you, would you be interested in going back to London with me, showing off, and seeing if their coffin board will blow up?"
"Good idea. ”
"Lanli-Hall!"
This back and forth conversation, bubbling like lava, but not smelling gunpowder, but surging in the warm room in winter, which makes people wonder, and then Matthew's calm and cold voice interjected, like a spring of melting ice and snow, "You can tell him, hey, Chris, introduce my brother to you another day." ”
"Hey, that's good!"
"Matthew Charles Dunlop!"
The former sentence is Edith's, the second sentence is Lan Li's, and Matthew, who was sandwiched in the middle, calmly picked up his whiskey glass.
Edith made up for it seriously, on a formal occasion, Lan Li and Chris both appeared, she officially introduced them, and then Chris's expression was satisfied, and he picked up the cup happily, and actually had a touch of comfort.
"By the way, there is one thing that I have always been curious about, and it just happened that today, you can answer it for me. The heavy and depressed mood was swept away, and Edith became the familiar Edith again, and her eyes hazy with alcohol bloomed with a sly and bright light, "Recently, Chris has been busy filming 'Captain America 2', he and the actors in the show are getting closer and closer, and he often goes out to party, you say, is this normal?"
Is there anything special about this issue?
Isn't it the topic of concern of the paparazzi, or the daily concern of the girlfriend to her boyfriend?
Lan Li and Matthew both looked at each other in confusion, not understanding Edith's excited expression at all.
"Oh, I forgot to say, I mean Sebastian-Stan. Edith added, a row of black lines appeared on Lan Li and Matthew's foreheads at the same time, and even traces of crows flying by in flocks could be seen, but Edith had an inquiring expression on her face, and said very seriously, "I'm serious, Chris and Sebastian have a very good relationship, and even lived together one night......"
The rest of the words didn't say much, his eyes fell between Lan Li and Matthew, and then he looked at the blankets and pillows on the sofa, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Lan Li narrowed his pupils slightly, not only did he not get angry or panic, but said extremely seriously, "You mean, you have some clues and think that there is a possibility between Chris and Sebastian?"
"Do you think Chris is bi/sexual/pansexual, homosexual/sexual, or is it a self-identity disorder where a man has a girly heart beneath his appearance? and Sebastian sparked that idea?" Matthew joined in the fun, with a look of academic delving.
"Hey, you guys, I'm serious!" Edith's eyes widened.
"Trust me, we're serious too. Lan Li's eyes widened as well, so the two of them stared at each other like this.
In the end, it was Edith who was defeated and shrugged her shoulders, "I mean, is this my delusion, or what, is it really just friendship between men? nothing...... Sparks or something?"
"Do you mean, a spark like that between me and you, or a spark like that between me and Arthur?" Lan Li sighed lightly, even if he was a human being for two lives, a woman's mind was still elusive, and he still couldn't understand the way this brain circuit worked, difficult, really too difficult.
"When did there be a spark between me and you?" said Edith, rolling her eyes widely, in disgust.
Lan Li spread her hands, "Maybe Matthew thinks there's a spark between us?"
"Matthew, what the hell are you thinking?" Edith looked at in surprise.
Matthew shook his head slightly, "yes, what the hell are you thinking?"
A rhetorical question made Edith stunned, and then reacted, "You don't know...... But...... I mean...... "After trying a few different possibilities, I found that my brain was spinning a little slowly, my mind couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and I still had too much whiskey tonight," Forget it, I'll ask Chris directly next time. ”
Although Lan Li wanted to say, "Can I sit on the sidelines when I ask?"
"Whew, can you call a taxi for me? I thought, I need to go back and rest. Edith rubbed her temples, feeling a slight headache.
"I'll drive you back. Lan Li put down his glass and spoke.
"Forget it, I don't believe in your skills. Edith complained bluntly, "Matthew, you don't have to worry about me, you've changed your pajamas now, and leaving this guy home alone may make a mess of your whole house." Before Matthew could speak, Edith said thoughtfully.
"Call a taxi for me. Edith let out a long breath, "Don't worry, although I drank a little too much tonight, I can still handle it, don't worry about my ......" But the words that followed did not speak, and as she spoke, she actually closed her eyes.
After a month of perseverance, a journey of tossing, a night of confiding, Edith finally truly relaxed, all the tiredness swept over like a tide, and she fell asleep without even realizing her gaffe.
Lan Li stood up, gently pulled the whiskey glass out of Edith's hand, and whispered, "Let her spend the night downstairs with me." Matthew, you go downstairs and open the door, and I'll hold her and come down. ”
Matthew didn't speak, he acted directly. He stood up, opened the door to his room, and went downstairs first.
Lan Li bent down and carefully picked up Edith in the manner of a princess hug, trying to maintain a steady pace to avoid waking her, and walked towards her downstairs apartment.
The night outside the window was a bit noisy, and the storm was pounding on the window continuously, but Lan Li was sure that Edith should be able to rest well tonight.
