336, the ghost does not go away

"The big wedding day is approaching, the mansion has been renovated, and the unmarried couple is getting married faster than anyone expected."

"Marriage to a child? Can Jennifer still film Codename Shero? Jose. Mr. Whedon declined to comment. ”

"The appearance of "Nine" in the main unit of Cannes was praised, but the limelight was overshadowed by "Slumdog Millionaire", Cannes film critics: the heroine is gorgeous, the picture is moving, but the story seems to have no clear core"

"Avatar recently held its second audience preview screening, Fox is full of confidence in the box office, and the biggest publicity plan of this year is about to begin"

"The summer season is approaching, and "Transformers 2" may be the most watched movie in the world this year"

"Fast and Furious 4" is about to be released, the first family reunion, recasting the classic, Universal is full of confidence in it, and it is suspected that this film has won the title of Jennifer. Jefferson's favor and blessing"

"Satellite photos of the mansion were exposed, and GoogleEarth took photos of Jennifer and her fiancé's activities at home, is this an invasion of the privacy of celebrities?"

Although many celebrities chose to hide the marriage news from the outside world, or hold the wedding in secret, but for the Jennifer couple, who have a lot of attention, whether they announce the specific plan or not, the media will also catch the wind - they agreed on the catering company for the reception after the wedding, and this news was on the front page in a grand manner, perhaps because of this, the public relations of the Jennifers directly chose to announce the official news of the movie: the second weekend of May, The couple will have a very intimate wedding in the main house, with no more than five witnesses and attendees from many years of relatives and friends, and after that the mansion will host a huge reception with more than 100 attendees, and many sensitive people of everyone's interest will also attend, such as Jennifer's ex-boyfriends and Cesare. Vijri's long-time girlfriend is now married to Lillian. Svensson, in addition to "Monroe" director Salvi. In addition to Tuqi's presence in the UK, almost all of the big names who have worked with Jennifer have been invited, and the list is even laughingly called the 'Hollywood Annual Meeting' - in addition to these big stars, it is even more rare that the CEOs of the six major Hollywood studios and even the CEOs of the parent companies will attend with their faces, and the CEO of Disney Group, Robert Brown. Iger will even attend the private wedding held before, which also shows the ridiculousness of the rumor that Big Dream and Disney have not had a good relationship some time ago.

In addition to these celebrities, the princes of the Abu Dhabi royal family, politicians on Parliament Hill, and even Ron Brown. Pereman, a super-rich man on the Forbes list, is also a rumored guest, and Jennifer, who has always kept a low profile to the outside world, and almost never goes out to have fun at night except for business activities, showing her strong connections.

"It's almost a political show," Jon and Charles said on Skype, commenting on the intricate sources of gossip on the Internet. Clooney claimed that he had been invited, but was unable to attend while abroad. This completely confirmed our suspicion that his depression must be fake, and that his relationship with Jennifer should not be so good. ”

"If that's all intriguing, what about having Robert alone at the wedding?" Charles asked rhetorically, "Do you believe that she and Robert really have such a close relationship?" ”

"That's the kind of moment you don't think it's that good to be a Hollywood star, is it?" Jon chuckled, "What's your Arabian prince's attitude?" Can he bring you, or us, in? I mean, a closer look at Jennifer's house, and even a few words to herself – something like that you can't even dream of. ”

"Nah, it's no fun, he can only bring one person to attend, so unless you expect him to be treated as gay by everyone, we'll just have to look at the news and hear what he has to say." Charles sent a sad expression and a screenshot, "You can also look at this picture and imagine what it will be like when the time comes—I have to say, modern technology has really made the earth smaller, hasn't it?" You don't even have to leave the house to get a full view of Jennifer's living environment, and maybe even better than she does. ”

Jon frowned at the picture, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: This is the screenshot of Google Earth exposed on the news, after the powerful media got the specific house number and latitude and longitude of this house, everything is no longer a problem, anyone can locate the house on Google Earth, carefully check its layout, and its location in Malibu, which also makes Jennifer's mansion almost private at all, and makes the gossip people even more excited- In particular, this picture also shows Jennifer and Cesare walking from the house to the tennis court, which makes people full of reverie about their lives. Although Google quickly updated the map and erased the characters from the screen, this screenshot is still in the news, and the house has become a hot spot for the public, and even Google Maps can be seen that the mountain road leading only to the mansion should have been inaccessible, but now the map can often see tourists, curious fans wandering around the door, and the most outrageous thing is that some travel agencies have started a similar business, they offer Malibu day trips online, One of the highlights is to take people on a tour of Jennifer's mansion outside the door. -- This made some fans very angry, attacking this malicious consumption of celebrities in the forum, but at the same time, the day tour activities are in full swing, and the reservation page of the travel agency shows that if you want to participate in the day trip now, you must make a reservation two weeks in advance, otherwise it will not be arranged at all.

"I just hope the manor's security is good enough." Jon is one of the outraged fans, and her main concern is Jennifer's Stalker, "I now understand why a lot of big stars live abroad, and Los Angeles is really not safe enough for them. ”

"Jennifer's house is quite private, and unless someone can climb up the cliff, the high-voltage grid is enough to stop everything." Charles changed the subject, "Did you see the latest trailer for Avatar?" This time I was looking forward to this movie even more, the CGI technology was simply amazing, it was completely taken to the next level, redefining animated films - I can only hope that this is not a false advertisement, otherwise I would be quite disappointed, even if it is a J.J. movie, it will probably go for an angry 0 ......"

"yes, yes, I know, the view on Pandora is-" Jon got excited, typing faster, "I don't think it's an animated movie, but anyway, it's definitely redefining special effects, do you think 'Iron Man' is cool?" You'll shut up after watching the Avatar trailer, won't you? Especially the suspended peak, which is really cool. ”

"The only regret is that we haven't seen Jennifer's human form yet."

"Maybe there won't be a human form, and so far, there hasn't been a flash of that in the trailer."

"Is this possible? It's unlikely, if she hadn't even shown her face, it would have been impossible to invite her to star in this movie—"

"It should be clear in half a year - if you can get tickets for the preview screening, then-"

"We have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and that doesn't seem to be very likely." Charles continued to send a sad expression, "Said is heartbroken by the news that Jennifer is really going to get married, I think this is probably the first time since he was born that he wants to be favored by someone so much, but he has never been able to do so - it is very likely that he will not even have the courage to attend the wedding." ”

"Well, it's not bad to be a regular audience again." Jon opened the Facebook page and looked at it a few times, and became excited again, "The trailer I posted has been retweeted tens of thousands of times, and it looks like people are still looking forward to "Avatar", those stupid film critics should shut up, right?" What is called the next "Beowulf", it's really stupid, if "Beowulf" is so good, the box office will not fail miserably at all......"

#

"What a beautiful view, I'm really looking forward to it!" On Facebook, Jon's retweet of the trailer did quickly garner a lot of likes, with many of her friends commenting, "Is this Jennifer's new work?" ”

"It's a fantasy movie, right? Will Jennifer's look in it be the same as the movies of the previous era? Or are these two simply a movie. ”

"That blue man is Jennifer, right? They're kind of like -- is this Avatar? Who is the male lead? Oh my God, that suspended mountain is so beautiful, what day is it released in December? Why isn't it clear in the trailer? ”

"It's so beautiful, has this trailer been out so far? When it's time to release it, you must remind me to watch it......"

Maybe for fans like Jon, "Avatar" has been in the news since the beginning of filming, and as long as you have a normal news smell, you should have heard its name and knew its release date. But for her classmates and friends, who are not movie fans, and don't even care about fashion and gossip, their connection with the film industry is intermittent and full of randomness. They may be staring at a trailer but absentmindedly thinking about something else, having no impression of the film itself after watching it, or they may be full of interest in the movie at some point, looking up basic information and release dates, and can't wait for the release. And because their overlap with the film market can be said to be relatively accidental, the connection is limited to a movie, after watching it is likely that they will never enter the cinema again, and will not accept the studio's market research - such a group of people are very insensitive to the posters and gifts given by the questionnaire, and it is difficult to attract them to spend time, so this part of the population belongs to the random factors of the market, which is difficult to predict and study, and they are the key targets of the distribution company's advertising, posters and other promotional materials, because' The follow-up box office depends on word of mouth, and the first-day box office depends on publicity', the basic box office of a movie on the first day is determined by the theme, director, actors, etc., which can be predicted through statistical data, and how to expand the increment outside the basic market? Then it is necessary to increase the interest of this part of the low-sensitivity group through overwhelming publicity, bombardment and viral marketing. This is also why Hollywood blockbusters often put a lot of versions of the trailer, and the reason why the production of the trailer is very important, maybe for fans, these multiple versions of the trailer will make them feel repetitive and over-promoted, but since they will go to the cinema anyway, then in the pre-promotion, their feelings will be ignored, this kind of netting publicity is to ensure that as many low-sensitivity people as possible have watched the trailer, to increase their probability of entering the cinema.

Before the rise of Internet social networking, this kind of propaganda was relatively inefficient, and it could even be said to be similar to metaphysics - how many viewers your overwhelming propaganda can bring is a mystery to everyone, and there is no way to effectively obtain the reaction of low-sensitivity groups to the trailer, everything can only be determined by the experience and judgment of the person in charge, more like a game of gambling. But in just a few years, everything has been completely different, this year's hottest concept in Hollywood is 'social media big data', many companies are contacting Silicon Valley, want to find or even customize such software, which even makes Silicon Valley a little surprised and suspicious, although this demand has broadened their horizons, but the technical difficulty is also prohibitive, and most importantly, they have long been accustomed to exploring the blue ocean - the development model of turning the blue ocean into red, and suddenly a large number of customers came to the door to put forward clear development needs, This kind of thing is indeed rare for them.

Of course, for Silicon Valley, it is good news that users can clearly speak out, which saves them the anxiety of market research or their own development, and Hollywood's unanimous request this time also makes software companies feel reassured, not worried about the future sales of software, they don't need to know why this demand is suddenly generated, and one company in Hollywood even claims to be developing a similar version - although Fox and other companies have coincidentally put forward similar customization needs, But they are not good enough to spread the word about it, after all, this is completely extraneous, and it is very likely to anger the big dream of the honeymoon period with them, which can be said to be interlaced like a mountain, no matter how big the movement on the Silicon Valley side is, under the non-disclosure agreement, the software development will not be transmitted to Hollywood until it is successful.

And before the success of software development, or the big dream sharing technology, the six will not sit stupidly and wait, the staff is also through the most stupid manual search method, check the reaction of the crowd on Facebook, Twitter, distinguish fans from low-sensitivity groups, and determine their views on movie promotion from their impressions - as long as they open their minds, these big companies will naturally find all kinds of ways to overcome difficulties, and want to keep a trick secret for a long time, It's really not so realistic in a mature industry.

"Fox was quite happy with the results of the online survey for 'Avatar,'" Jenny said casually with Cesare and Mary as she flipped through her unread emails in the nanny car home, "Although the critics' reviews were still average, as I predicted at the time, the audience, especially the low-sensitivity crowd, was enthusiastic about the film, they had less contact with the special effects of the film, they were more likely to be moved, and the more indifferent and unexpected, the more people who had nothing to expect from the director and the star. The more you can grasp the core point of marketing: the beautiful scenery of the planet Pandora. With the further spread of publicity, there are more and more PO articles attracted by the scenery, which also shows that the current publicity strategy is quite effective and indeed identifies the pain points of the audience. ”

"It's no wonder that Fox is starting to promote the high cost of Avatar again." Cesare and Jenny are still working separately today, then meeting up at Big Dream to make a follow-up summary of the company's current projects, and then drive home for dinner together, "This also makes "Avatar" predicted by box office analysts to be the most likely to lose money this year - see the news? Almost all data analysis experts are not optimistic about the project's profit prospects, and many even think that Fox and Big Dream have gone crazy. ”

"The wave of skepticism that arose with "Nine" was it?" Jenny leaned over and looked at the laptop on Cesare's lap, who held her shoulders to help her balance. - She sensed that Mary had a strange look on them, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and after reading a few lines, she said with emotion, "Tsk, how much do these people hate me?" Are they angry that they weren't invited to the reception - it feels like they can't wait for me and Big Dream to fail. ”

"Understandably, for statisticians, your existence is an unexplained paranormal event, all formulas and models will fail on you, and of course they will want you to return to normal territory," Cesare said casually, "'Nine' is indeed the first film to fail to make a splash, and coupled with the grand investment and publicity of 'Avatar', it's normal to have doubts about your return on investment." ”

Jenny is also quite helpless about the outside world's singing and declining voices - her relationship with these professional media has not been very good, mainly because she has set foot in the unpopular area again and again, been questioned again and again, and then slapped her face with results again and again. Since "Pirates of the Caribbean", she has not acted at all in box office hits, commenting on a good movie, not to mention the attempts in the middle, just last year's "Monroe", the praise of film critics is very high, but because of the subject matter, the outlook given by the box office prediction agency is very conservative, and in the end, the results of "Monroe" have made these people completely laughing, and this has made these institutions now raise their expectations for her, and even a little unreasonable, as long as there is a film in which she participates, whether it is the starring role or the supporting role, no matter how many scenes, if the evaluation of a literary film is not high by critics and film festivals, it is a failure, and it is the end of her myth.

"Nine" was expected to be such an uncontroversial film, the luxurious lineup made it hot before it was released, and the attention was not low, but its luck was not too good, and it was completely overshadowed by "Slumdog Millionaire" in Cannes, and the distribution company Weinstein was too careless to expect such a film to be out of the air - in terms of the lineup of "Nine", it is almost certainly the darling of the spotlight, and Weinstein is also very confident in its quality, believing that it can get out of the word-of-mouth route in Cannes, Get at least one or two consolation prizes. So they didn't go through the PR in advance, but waited leisurely for its good news.

…… Then, waiting for "Slumdog Millionaire", this movie attracted almost all the critics' enthusiasm for discussion, so that "Nine" did not get the attention it deserved at all, and under Weinstein's negligence, there were no heavyweight film critics or film celebrities to cheer for it, or even point out the rest of the people's viewing ideas, which made this somewhat esoteric and introverted film completely lose the opportunity to stand out, and the first part of the word-of-mouth route was smashed, which can be regarded as a misfortune at the same time as a phenomenal movie......

So far, Weinstein has not given up and is still holding a test screening, but this year's Olympic award popularity has undoubtedly been taken away by "Slumdog Millionaire", there is no topic of the Cannes Awards, it will be more difficult to catch up and surpass from behind, the most important thing is that the film critics' viewing mentality has also changed, after all, this film has no awards in Cannes, and no one has discussed it, there must be a problem - with this mentality, no movie will be brilliant, not to mention that "Nine" is indeed a stream-of-consciousness film that needs to be watched carefully……

After this highly-anticipated film 'wrestled' without warning, although the public still maintained the impression of her as a box office miracle and Hollywood's savior, in these professional media in the industry, "Nine" and "Avatar" have different meanings, and are regarded as possible Jennifer. An important symbol of Jefferson's beginning to go downhill - before that, Jennifer acted in any commercial film, what commercial film exploded, what literary film she acted in, and what literary film she could win awards, "Nine" is likely to be the first film to end this rule: it is not too missed, it is not a bad movie, but judging from the performance in Cannes and the tone of domestic film critics, the possibility of this film being nominated for Best Film is not even too great, let alone Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor and Best Director, With its extremely luxurious Olympic lineup, such a performance is a failure, which proves that Jennifer's film selection vision is not as keen as before, and it also adds risks to her many bold plans in the future, and even "Avatar" is even more uncertain - with its investment, the global box office of 1 billion is a failure, if there was Jennifer before. Jefferson's blessing makes this small probability more credible, then now, for this film, even with the backing of emerging online feedback statistics, the industry's attitude is still ambiguous, without the slightest expectation and optimism.

However, fortunately, the criticism of Jenny did not reappear after "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and she is also a person who has won two actresses, her acting skills are completely undoubted, and the industry is also accustomed to her line of grasping commercial literature and art, and even her achievements in the producer's route are enough for her to withstand several exaggerated failures, and the relatively cold market response of "Nine" has not shaken the determination of the six major dreams to dream, and this time she herself has learned not to care about the disturbances in the media. I really have the mood to laugh at the situation - today, her status and Da Meng's status are indeed not something that one or two press releases can shake.

"Do you need to do some work to control public opinion?" Mary waited until Jenny finished reading the news and sat up straight before asking, "You didn't expect much from Rob to star in this movie - that's the truth, isn't it?" ”

Noticing the change in Jenny's expression, she added, "We can arrange for a third party to say it in an analytical tone, so that it won't give you the feeling of being out of the ordinary." ”

“…… Forget it. Jenny shook her head, "It's better to let the media sing down, anyway, the next promotion of "Avatar" is not centered on me, and there is no need to worry about the impact on the follow-up movie promotion." ”

Marie glanced at Cesare, saw that he had no objection, and then nodded and wrote it down, and Jenny couldn't help but shake her head - Mary had always annoyed her with Cesare's obedience, but she had no choice but to turn a blind eye when she was busy day and night, and needed another person to help her make decisions on countless business matters.

"Why did we turn a corner?" Noticing the change in the scenery outside the window, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "This is the third day in a row that I've entered through the underground passage - don't tell me that there are still a lot of tourists and fans gathered at the main entrance, and it's getting dark." ”

For the Google Maps leak, the whole team is annoyed, and some have become accustomed to helplessness, in fact, this is also a common occurrence for celebrities living in Beverly Hills, it can only be said that it was bought in Malibu, and it is still impossible to completely avoid this kind of incident.

The team has no better way to do this kind of thing, except to buy the entire mountain road and not allow traffic (not only expensive, but also must be very slow to advance), can only make no response, and wait for the boom that comes with the news of Oscar and the engagement to fade naturally, after all, this is still a certain distance from the city of Los Angeles, and the beaches of Malibu are rarely open to tourists, and it is not much fun to drive an hour to see an iron gate. At least not like now, when the crowd was in constant traffic throughout the day, screaming and trying to interact as soon as they saw a car coming in and out.

"It's always good not to take that risk," Cesare said absentmindedly as he slid his mouse as he approached the mansion's underground driveway from another, more secluded mountain road, "and if we're stuck in traffic, you can't solve the problem every time you hit it." ”

Jenny couldn't help laughing, and Mary smiled too, and she moved to the window, and said to Jenny, "Maybe it's going to rain on the beach tonight—ah!" ”

Although it was brief, the exclamation still attracted Jenny's attention, and she looked in the direction of Mary to see the car window, and was also surprised: at the corner of the mountain road, a man stood quietly, holding a poster board in the shape of Jenny, on which a few words were written in red pen, and Jenny did not see clearly, the car had already driven past, but this scene still left a deep impression on her.

"It's—it's—" She turned and leaned back in her chair to stare at the man: although he couldn't possibly know who was in the car and what they were doing because of the all-black wrap of the nanny car, he still turned around, as if performing some ritual, and solemnly held up the standing sign against the butt of the car...... "Whatthefuck? What the hell is this man—"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong - Cesare was it, how could Mary not be surprised? For such a sudden attack, not to mention screaming, she should have given some curses and exclamations, just like her reaction just now-

Squinting her eyes and looking back and forth between Cesare and Mary a few times, Jenny burst into a foul mouth, "HolyShit, you already know?" ――Was it because he didn't go through the main gate before? How long had he been standing in the doorway? Didn't anyone go to the police? ”

Now, even Cesare's expression was not so natural, and Mary was even more cramped in Jeanne's anger, and she stared at Cesare pleadingly, while Jeanne simply gave up interrogating her former agent and looked at Mary with her hands crossed: this was a bit suspicious of pinching soft persimmons, but it was indeed easier for her to break through than Cesare.

"Well," after a few seconds of silence, Mary finally couldn't resist anymore and cried out, "We did call the police, but theoretically, he didn't break the law, he didn't trespass on private property, and you can't be said to have bothered you until you saw him - compared to other Stalkers-"

"Mary!" Cesare interjected abruptly, in a heavy tone.

"Another Stalker?" Jenny raised her voice.

"Oh! Oh-" Mary covered her mouth dramatically, looking left and right at the two in the back row, and after a moment, she slowly squeezed out an exaggerated smile. "Uh, J.J., let me go for once? ――Can you assume that you didn't hear it? ”

#

"Unbelievable," Jenny grumbled loudly as she stepped out of the elevator and walked briskly out of the podium attached to the garage, "it's just unbelievable, you just make me doubt my whole life, I mean, I thought I knew everything about my life, that I was in control, and now you suddenly tell me that you've been hiding such an important thing from me?" Why, Mary, why? Am I too fragile in your heart to bear the fact that some pervert has a crush on me? ”

In this matter, Cesare and Mary are rarely in a completely unreasonable attitude, after all, in Jenny's cognition, they have already discussed this matter, and the four members of the team have to face it together, if this matter is just that some small harassing emails were intercepted before, and Mary didn't tell her, maybe she wouldn't be so angry, but the problem is that the situation is obviously not so simple now, and the Stalker even took out a humanoid standing board in his hand - although it was only a quick glance, But Jenny recognized it: this was the poster that the intruder had used, at least, in her look from Pirates of the Caribbean. It was this that made her cold hair blow up, and her temper went out of control almost instantaneously - why did the team choose to hide such an important matter from her? It's all about her, and she has the right to know!

"It's time to confess," said Sweep all the pillows on the couch to the ground to express her determination and anger, Jeanne threw herself onto the cushion, crossed her hands, looked at Mary with a calm face, and glared at Cesare with her, "Tell me everything, not a single detail." ”

To be honest, although she is the core of the team, she is indeed not so intimidating in the team, although Mary also showed a shocked expression, blinking her eyes quickly, but still did not answer immediately, but secretly glanced at Cesare, waiting for her instructions, and this also made Jeanne can no longer avoid Cesare - she had been setting fire on Mary before, but now if she continued this strategy, then Mary would not dare / could / unwilling / to her / Or maybe it's just a lack of understanding the fact that Cesare is angry.

"Looks like you're the mastermind." She lifted her chin and reminded herself that no matter how good Cesare's reasons were, she should keep her anger going, because he was hiding it, and it wasn't right-

Like a queen, she ordered, "Speak! ”

“Copycat。” Cesare said that his expression was still very calm, obviously unaffected by Jenny's anger, but Jenny could still detect (or make up) his heart from the silence he had just chased him out of the garage and in the silence in the car, "I know what you're afraid of, and that's why I've decided to isolate you from this affair - your Stalker community seems to have been irritated since our scandal in January, and the number of harassing letters we've received has skyrocketed, and after our residential address was exposed, It's not the first time that people are waiting at the door, or leaving intimidating packages, and this poster - the main reason for scaring you - has appeared, and it seems that Stalker's thinking patterns are very similar, and they are all unconsciously imitating the pioneers on this path, wanting to make a deeper impression on you. ”

This is not the first time Jenny has heard of this principle, in the previous break-in case, the police repeatedly emphasized that the media should refrain from reporting, because this kind of overwhelming reporting is an alternative propaganda, which will stimulate the psychology of potential people to follow suit, and may even stimulate the psychology of some Stalkers, so that their harassment actions escalate, and even make some radical behaviors, harming Jenny's personal safety. Even so, even then, when Cesare told her that it wasn't the first time the poster had reappeared, she still felt like throwing up, and at that moment, the air around her seemed to be extremely cold and difficult to breathe.

"But the media didn't expose the photos of the scene," she forced herself to endure her nausea, forcing herself to recall the bad and chaotic days, "The paparazzi didn't take pictures either, they shouldn't have known about the existence of this poster-"

"That's why we didn't take any further countermeasures." Cesare said he was watching Jenny closely, as if assessing her current mood, "and we hope this will be a clue that will lead us to the interloper......

The smell of blood, the messy fonts, the lifeless, cold body—a myriad of messy images came at her in an instant, and Jenny swallowed, trying to suppress the buzz in her ears, and she said sneeringly, "But, I thought he was—you didn't mean that in London, the detectives fired a shot—"

"The detectives we found did keep an eye on a suspect who had returned to the scene, and they did shoot him out into the river, confirming that the chances of him surviving were extremely low." This was the first time Cesare had spoken to Jeanne about the details, and before that, he had only vaguely said to Jeanne, 'Maybe you won't have to worry about him in the future', and those words made Jeanne even more restless - although Cesare and Marie had no comment on this, she realized why they did it: it was of course terrible, and as her friends and partners, Marie and Cesare would also be affected, but no one would be more affected than her, after all, The person the unknown Stalker was targeting. "But it was night, and they couldn't give 100% guarantees, and in the years that followed, events more or less confirmed their view: the man didn't reappear, there was no revenge, and he was supposed to be dead."

The raised shoulder fell, and Jeanne pursed her lips, no longer maintaining an angry posture, and Cesare seemed to see all the changes, he glanced at Jeanne meaningfully, and reached out to take her wrist, "And now we know that he is not dead, and has managed to keep in touch with his kind......"

Ignoring Mary's widening eyes, Jeanne couldn't help but take Cesare's palm back, and felt the urge to snuggle up again—some time ago she had been somewhat reluctant to make physical contact with Cesare, but now—especially now, things had clearly changed.

"This is an opportunity," she said, resisting the urge to tremble, trying to speak calmly, feeling Cesare's fingers clamp her jaw strongly, conveying a steady stream of heat and his unspoken support, "We can use the opportunity of him to resurface because of the marriage news, and settle this trouble once and for all......

Turning her head to look at the living room, which seemed to be empty and unfamiliar again, she silently said in her heart, 'Panic is losing,' and muttered, "And before that, we must be special, special and careful......"

Perhaps it was Cesare who made a gesture, or said something with her eyes, but Mary suddenly jumped up, muttered 'I'm going to answer the phone', and left the living room almost as if she were running away, and the next second the door was closed, Cesare grabbed Jeanne by the shoulders and took her in his arms.

"We'll fix this." He seemed to know what Jenny needed now, and was not hesitant to give it—Jenny suddenly remembered his comfort when she was first intimidated, and she vaguely thought: Maybe he would have given me a hug then, if someone had taught him. “OK? We're going to fix this, you're safe, no one can hurt you, and we're going to fix it, understand? ”

A faint salty seawater soaked her hair, and faintly Jenny realized a hint of danger, as if something should not have happened—something they had been avoiding, a hint of a crack in a strong embankment—

But she couldn't think about it now, it wasn't what she needed, and Jenny took a deep breath, inhaling the taste of Cesare's cologne deeper into her lungs.

"We'll fix this." She repeated, "Yes, we'll fix this ......" The author has something to say: last night's update can provoke a warm response from everyone, to be honest I didn't expect it at all, seeing everyone's reply, I really want to cross the network cable and give you a hug, just like Cesare and Jenny, when the past can't be changed, you can only make yourself stronger and heal the pain. Especially for Chinese women, living in a cultural atmosphere of filial piety and patriarchy, self-improvement is almost the only option, there are a lot of things I want to say to you, but I don't know if I had a heat stroke yesterday, today I am sore, extremely uncomfortable, and I may be incoherent if I continue to talk about it...... In short, hug everyone, no matter how much pain there is in the past, as long as you have hope and continue to struggle, tomorrow will be better than today, I hope everyone can get happiness and peace, and you can go on bravely!
