Inside and outside the room, Lan Li and Rooney both had their backs against the wall, their hot skin on the cold brick wall, but there was no sign of calming down; when they calmed down, they seemed to be able to hear the sound of their hearts beating, which seemed to be their own, but it didn't seem to be, and the sound of collision revealed a sense of peace and excitement; immersed in their own world, the smile on the corner of their lips couldn't help but rise slightly.

The noise of the interior, the noise of the outside, the warmth of the inside and the coldness of the outside, the two completely different worlds gradually merge together on both sides of a wall.

"Rooney!"

A shout interrupted Rooney's thoughts, the hazy and vague warmth burst like a popping bubble, Rooney snorted and cast his gaze towards the source of the sound, it was Paul Walker, with a bright smile on his face, waved at Rooney again and again, and said clearly, "We were just discussing 'social networking', didn't you mention it to Lan Li last time, what happened to Jesse's performance?"

Rooney came back to her senses, secretly gathered her thoughts, smiled again, and walked briskly up.

Sitting quietly in place, Lan Li gently played with the cigarette in his hand, hesitated a few times, tried to light it, but finally chose to give up. Stuffing the cigarette back into the case, he raised his gaze and watched the lights of New York City quietly go out little by little, as if at the end of the "Fight Club", two people who loved each other quietly admired the grandeur and grandeur of the destruction of the world.

New York in the middle of the night is getting colder and colder, the raging cold wind does not have the gentleness and warmth of June at all, whistling by, the temperature of the body is still gradually lost, I can't help but shiver, and the goosebumps on the surface of the skin are conscientiously awakening the wakefulness of the brain.

Consciousness finally returned to her brain, and Lan Li stood up and returned to the room.

The warmth and excitement are surging, and the muscles of the body are gradually stretched.

The party atmosphere of focused conversation and laughter has not become different at all because of Lan Li's departure and reappearance, but it is not the kind of ignorance or neglect, but the cordiality and casualness after slowly relaxing. Occasionally, someone noticed Lan Li's appearance, but they just raised their glasses, raised their hands, and then continued to engage in their conversation.

It's an atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed.

Lan Li found Matthew Dunlop on the couch next to his desk chatting with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Lan Li sat down next to him, but did not interrupt Matthew and Jack's conversation, nor did he intervene naturally, just listened quietly, and after a while, Jack was called over by Scarlett Johansson and Paul Walker, and then Lan Li and Matthew sat in place, quietly watching the hot scene in front of them.

"Chris has been looking for a chance to try to talk to you, are you sure you don't want to give him a chance?" Matthew's calm words broke the tranquility of the atmosphere, but it was not at all obtrusive, and there was a slight hint of a teasing smile in those calm words.

Following Matthew's line of sight, Lan Li saw Chris standing next to the bar, and the whole person seemed absent-minded, and his gaze was projected in the direction of Lan Li and Matthew from time to time, and the action was so obvious that it was not easy to ignore.

This is the first private meeting between Lan Li and Chris after Oscar Night - when they were in Cannes before, there were a lot of media on the scene, and they just nodded and didn't communicate much, not to mention that today's occasion, Edith and Arthur are there, and it is still the night when Lan Li made history, which is even more special.

"I'm not Arthur, I don't deliberately cause difficulties, but I'm not Eaton either, and it's disrespectful to Edith to send it to the door. Lan Li said with a smile, and at the same time nodded to Chris with a deliberate smile, Chris nodded indiscriminately like a child who had been caught, pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and then quickly turned his head away, pretending that nothing had happened.

Matthew bowed his head slightly, "You're already the easiest level in the Hall family." ”

A meaningful word quieted the two of them. But the quiet and warm atmosphere still hasn't changed much, because they all know that the current Lan Li has truly become independent, and now the power within the Hall family is changing little by little, although Lan Li doesn't care.

Lan Li was even more calm, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again, "You are the real planner of today's party." This is not a question sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

Although all the arrows pointed to Edith just now, Lan Li knew that it was just a joke, Edith's ability was not in this, and she didn't like to organize parties, otherwise she wouldn't go to the battlefield alone to interview;

Only Matthew.

A slight smile flashed in Matthew's eyes, he didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it, in fact, this is the best answer.

Since the Oscars three months ago, Matthew has been planning.

He could feel that Lan Li was gradually becoming alienated, not the sense of distance of gentlemanly etiquette, but the strangeness of looking left and right but not being able to find someone close to him. Since childhood, they have known each other for almost a lifetime, and this is the first time Matthew has seen such a blue gift, and he can even feel that the blue gift is drifting away, like a kite in his hand, lost in the wind, and one day, after the kite string is broken, he will never come back.

So, Matthew prepared the party.

Even if Matthew knew that this might offend Lan Li's anger, even if Matthew knew that Lan Li never wanted to trouble his friends and didn't like the party, but now there was something more important, it was just an opportunity, whether Lan Li could achieve EGOT tonight or not, the party would be held on time, but the theme and meaning would be different.

Matthew didn't regret it, he didn't worry about it, he didn't have any intention of explaining at all, and calmly met Lan Li's gaze, as if he was ready to bear the anger.

Lan Li looked at Matthew quietly, expressionless and unable to ponder, but at the end of the silence, a smile crept between his eyebrows, "You know I won't be angry." ”

"No, I don't know. Matthew smiled and said, "No one can guess what you think." That's why George and Elizabeth are so afraid of you. ”

Afraid.

Matthew's choice of adjectives is really interesting.

Lan Li chuckled, "But you still saw through it." "Otherwise, this party wouldn't exist. "Honestly, shouldn't I be doing it right now?"

This is an internal meme of the aristocracy. If a person is seen through by others, this is very dangerous, and he must start first, either alienate or solve, otherwise it is easy to fall into the dilemma of "man is a knife and I am a fish". This was very terrible for the aristocracy. It's like those chamberlains or eunuchs who know the secrets of the emperor.

Matthew spread his hands and looked calm, "It's too late." The evidence is all backed up, you should know mine, I am an excellent lawyer. The calm tone revealed a little self-selling pride and pride.

Lan Li didn't refute, he was silent for a moment, and the smile in his eyes slowly overflowed, "Thank you." "Sincerely.

Matthew's expression still didn't change much, but he said calmly, "I've made a list of the remuneration and will send it to you tomorrow." ”

Lan Li smiled dumbly, and a smile crept up the corner of her mouth.

"It's coming. Matthew said suddenly.

If you look at the sight, you can see Chris with a smile on his face, but because the smile is too exaggerated and too bright, he shows his feet instead.

Lan Li pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, "It's too slow." I thought that he was a decisive character, and he should have taken the initiative to meet him as soon as I appeared, but I didn't expect to be so indecisive. Sure enough, the rumors in the industry are not very accurate. ”

"He had been hesitant to play 'Captain America' a few times, which shows that he is a man who can be convinced. Matthew also made a calm judgment, not only did not persuade, but continued to fan the flames on the side, looking like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but Matthew did not mean to target Chris, at this moment, his identity is Lan Li's friend, and Lan Li's position is his position, it's as simple as that.

Lan Li didn't make any obvious movements, but he swiped with the corner of his eyes and noticed Edith on the other end of the room, "I think, compared to him, that's the real excitement." God, I never knew that she could be so sad and so upset, God, I almost didn't know her. ”

Edith, who is usually cool, absentmindedly holds the champagne in her hand, and she doesn't see much abnormality on the outside, but it is not difficult for Lan Li and Matthew to capture her true thoughts. It's because of familiarity, but also because Edith today is really a little anxious and bored, and the emotional cover is not in place.

It could be felt that Edith's gaze was always drifting, and she did not rush forward.

Because she also knows that Lan Li is the simplest and most enlightened level of the Hall family, not only because Lan Li is a member of Hollywood, but also because Lan Li has never adhered to the so-called framework and discipline. If they can't even get through the Blue Rites, then there is no hope for her and Chris's future, and George and Elizabeth can eat him alive. Chris needs to face Lan Li on his own.

But on the other hand, Lan Li is precisely the most difficult hurdle for the Hall family, because he is unshakable, his firmness and decisiveness, even George and Elizabeth are afraid of three points. If the previous Lan Li still had some scruples, and deep down longed for the family's approval, then now this last scruple has also disappeared, and has completely disappeared with the banquet of the Earl of Oxford that night.

So, Edith did have some anxiety.
