Hearing Eric's answer, Elizabeth glared at her lightly, "You...... It's really ungraceful. ◇↓，.”

"What does this have to do with demeanor?" Eric opened a can of beer and sat down on the couch: "Am I going to follow your words, say that I like this book, and then talk to you about the philosophy of life conveyed in the book, and talk about it very happily, and hate to see each other late?" ”

"Isn't it usually supposed to be like this?" Elizabeth tilted her head and asked rhetorically.

Eric smiled slightly, "When you were in school, you must have encountered this kind of thing a lot, right?" ”

Elizabeth nodded honestly.

Julia, who was originally holding the juice a little stiffly, couldn't help but laugh softly, she began to enter the society after graduating from high school, although she did not have Elizabeth's high IQ and high education, but her insight in interpersonal communication was much stronger than that of Elizabeth, who had been well protected since she was a child, and she understood certain things after a little thought. Eric also laughed, and in the face of Elizabeth's puzzled gaze, he explained: "With your identity as the second miss of the News Corporation, if a man wants to get close to you, it is definitely impossible for the material aspect to work, and he can only act from the spiritual level. So, silly girl, most of the time when you encounter this kind of thing, it's because men want to soak you. ”

It was the first time that Elizabeth had been punctured by someone, and she thought that she had indeed felt moved by this kind of thing, and she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, dumbfounded.

Eric took a sip of beer, leaned back on the sofa and said with a sigh on his face: "Speaking of which, such a low-cost method of picking up girls has been used often in my previous life." ”

"Ah...... Bah! Elizabeth understood that what Eric said was probably the truth. Still unwilling to spat at Eric: "You think men are as dirty as you." ”

"For most men. became the son-in-law of the Murdoch family. If you can save yourself 30 years of struggle, what can you do if you are a little dirty? ”

Elizabeth retorted unconvinced: "These ...... These are just your guesses. ”

"Suppose you know," Eric didn't mean to argue with the girl, "By the way, what's the matter with coming to me so late?" ”

Hearing this, Julia's waist straightened slightly, and she would always make this movement when she was nervous. Elizabeth said generously: "Since you have come to Venice, let's go play together, how about tomorrow?" ”

Eric thought about the agenda. Nodding: "No problem, it just so happens that I'm free tomorrow." ”

Elizabeth originally thought that it would take some rhetoric to invite Eric, but she didn't expect the other party to agree so lightly, it was already late at night in Venice, and it was not appropriate for the two women to stay in a large man's room for too long, so after chatting a few words, she got up with Julia, who had never said a few words, to say goodbye.

The next day, the chairman of the jury, Andre Brown, who learned of Eric's arrival. Smirnov invited Eric to breakfast early in the morning, although he needed the help of a translator to communicate. The two of them still had a good chat. We have been chatting in the restaurant of the boutique hotel until more than nine o'clock, Andrea. Smirnov had to reluctantly leave for work reasons.

Take Alan to the agreed dock. Eric realized that Julia and Elizabeth had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Eric appeared, Elizabeth complained dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Eric, you are really unpunctual, and you let two girls wait for you for so long?" ”

"I still have things to do, how can you two eldest ladies be so idle," Eric explained, and asked Alan to rent a boat, they were going to the main island of Venice today.

Finding a speedboat, Elizabeth pulled Julia into the cabin, but chased Allen, who was acting as an interpreter, away, on the grounds that she could also speak Italian. Arriving on the main island by speedboat, the three of them changed into a gondola and wandered along the Grand Canal.

As the morning sun shone warmly on people, Eric, dressed in casual clothes, leaned back on a chair in the gondola, looked at the surrounding building mirrors with relish, and occasionally raised his chest camera to take a few photos. Elisabeth, who sat on the other side, chatted loudly in Italian with a ferryman in her fifties named Loviso, who was standing at the bow of the boat, and the two of them laughed heartily at the same time from time to time.

"Hey, Julia, why haven't you been talking, are you uncomfortable?" Eric pressed the shutter a few times on an arched bridge, only to realize that the girl sitting next to him had been quiet.

This gondola has only one seat, so the three of them are huddled together, Eric on the right, Elizabeth on the left, and Julia in the middle, both girls are slender figures, Eric is not fat, so the original two-person seat is not too crowded.

Julia raised her head, met Eric's concerned gaze, and hurriedly said, "No, it's not. ”

"Oh," Eric thought for a while, didn't know what to say for a while, and was about to raise the camera to continue taking pictures, when the girl was the first to speak, and her voice was a little low: "Eric, when are you going back to Los Angeles?" ”

"September 5th, the day after tomorrow."

The girl raised her head, glanced at Eric, and asked curiously: "Why are you in such a hurry, don't you play in Venice for a few more days?" ”

Eric held up his camera and snapped the silhouette of a seabird skimming the water, casually explaining, "I'd like to take a little more rest, but I'm going to shoot two more movies in the next two months, and I'm pressed for time." ”

The girl nodded, and lowered her head slightly.

"By the way, Julia, when are you going to go back?"

Julia hesitated for a moment before she said, "Originally, Liz said that she would take me to Australia to see, and their family has a lot of pastures there, but I don't plan to go. ”

"It's time to go back, "Steel Magnolia" is scheduled for November, you should almost cooperate with the promotion, and in addition, you also need to pick a script for next year's movie."

Julia looked at Eric with a complicated gaze, and after a moment she spat out a single word: "You ......"

Eric lowered his head and took the finished negative out of the camera and put it away, replaced it with a new film, looked up at Julia's expression, quickly understood what the girl was thinking, and said with a smile: "I won't interfere with your movie next year, you can also try to choose it yourself, of course, it's best to listen to Kapoor's opinion." ”

This year, two blockbuster movies have been designated for the girl, and Juilliard has been sent to a peak in a short period of time. Although Eric can let the girl continue to maintain this peak, but according to Julia's not too quiet personality now, Eric thinks it is better to let the girl go through some ups and downs.

Moreover, he will not make movies as desperately as he did this year next year, if he keeps filming frantically, he will always be a big hit, and the giants who have been carved up too many interests can't bear it, and the possibility of buying a murderer to kill him is not impossible, and he plans to focus on a layout that is crucial to the future film career next year.

When Eric brutally interfered with her choice of films, Julia always thought about how to escape this guy's control, but now, suddenly hearing that Eric didn't care about her anymore, Julia felt a little empty.

"Hey, look, the Bridge of Sighs." While the two were thinking about their own affairs, Elizabeth on the other side suddenly shouted in English.

Eric looked up in the direction Elizabeth was pointing, and in a narrow alleyway, a fully enclosed, attic-like white stone arch bridge was suspended. The boatman named Loviso smiled and waved his oars to paddle the gondola into the alley.

"Sigh Bridge, what a beautiful name. Julia, do you know the legend about the Bridge of Sighs? Elizabeth sighed like a literary young man, and then turned her head to ask Julia next to her.

Julia shook her head in a daze, she really didn't know, now is not like the era of extremely advanced information in the past ten or twenty years, click on the webpage and enter a few words to find out a qiē.

Seeing Julia shaking her head, Elizabeth waved her little hand triumphantly and explained: "You see, this kind of arched bridge connects the two buildings, this is the Doge's Palace in Venice, and this is the prison for felons. ”

Eric took a few photos, put down his camera and smiled, "Hearing you say that, I think it's more appropriate to call this bridge Hell's Gate." If this bridge has life, after the blessing of so many felons sighing over and over again, the heart must be full of all kinds of violent feelings, and in the movie, it is the kind of typical villain who feels that the whole world is sorry for him, and does all kinds of evil against humanity and society. ”

Elizabeth's excited movements stalled, and she thought that Eric's statement made a lot of sense, but the girl quickly rolled her eyes at Eric: "Hey, don't you always be so bad about the scenery, okay?" ”

"I'm just telling the truth."

Elizabeth turned her head angrily, intending to ignore the hateful fellow, and grabbed Julia's arm and whispered.

The gondola drifted slowly under the Bridge of Sighs, and the boatman standing at the stern of the boat raised his voice slightly and said a few words of Italian to the three of them.

Eric and Julia looked at Elizabeth for some reason, and the girl raised her chin with a little smugness before she translated, "Mr. Loviso said that if a couple kissed under the Bridge of Sighs, they would have eternal love." ”

When Julia heard this, she glanced at Eric with a slanted glance, but only after a glance, she lowered her eyes in a stealing manner. Elizabeth, on the other hand, couldn't help but stand up slightly, her eyes wandering between Eric and Julia, and she looked eager to try.

When Eric saw Elizabeth's appearance, he put his hands on his chest and said sternly: "Don't think about it, I will never kiss you." ”

"Get out, even if this bridge collapses, I won't kiss you, rascal." Elizabeth retorted with one hand on her waist not to be outdone, and after speaking, her eyes rolled wide, and in Eric's surprised gaze, she put her arms around the unsuspecting Julia, leaned over and kissed the girl's red lips.
