The cap slightly blocked the view, but Rooney could still see the smile of blue Li's eyes. She raised her chin and shook her head. "Date? Jesus Christ, you are a narcissistic guy. So, are we familiar now? Repeat the conversation from the first meeting? "

But Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and raised his mouth gently, "otherwise, is there any other explanation?" For the unexpected meeting of two people here and now.

"Ha Rooney gave an exaggerated dry smile and then blinked, "how do you know? After the concert, I followed you all the way and came here. What's the matter? Are you scared? " Push the boat with the current and go up with the trend.

"Well..." Lan Li made a meaningful voice and dragged, "it's really a long journey. It's hard." The most gratifying expression was the best counterattack. Rooney could not help biting her lower lip and trying to explain. However, she found that no matter how she explained it or not, she seemed to have fallen into the pit——

And I dug it myself.

Rooney wrinkled her nose, snorted, grinded her teeth, and said coldly, "be careful, I'll follow you home!" Calm words, revealed a deep chill.

On the surface, he pretended to be calm, but his sight shifted a little quietly, hiding his inner confusion. But then, Rooney met lanli's eyes again, forced calm, slightly narrowed her eyes, seemed to be looking down, and then caught lanli's calm eyes.

Without any special fluctuation, Rooney felt the banter and ridicule hidden in her eyes, which made her heart turn a white eye. Then she raised her chin and motioned, "what author?"

Lenley raised his book and showed the cover to Rooney, "John Williams."

"Stoner", Rooney frowned slightly. She was also a book lover, but she had never read this book. This makes Rooney a little excited, because she knows that lanli's taste is trustworthy. Since lanli is reading, it means that she can add some new works to her reading list, "about what?"

"About the reality of life." Lan Li pondered for a moment and made the most simple conclusion. "I think it essentially touches the gap between the ideal life of foresight and expectation and the real life of real experience. You know, it's like everything that really happens in life, it exists, but you and I can't see the truth behind it. "

"Wow." Rooney raised her eyebrows, and her sharp eyebrows raised high, adding a touch of playfulness to her heroic temperament, "similar to the love in the cholera period?"“ Love in the period of Cholera "is another masterpiece of Nobel Prize winner Garcia Marquez besides" one hundred years of solitude ".

"Oh, no, Marquez's work is more magnificent. Williams' work is very simple, even a little straightforward. " Langley chuckled. "Have you read Hermann Hesse?"

After Rooney nodded in affirmation, Langley also nodded in approval, "but the spiritual core of the novel is similar to Hesse. Stoner, this is the name of the hero. The whole novel tells about his life, a brave man with a life of failure but not disappointment. Because he knows that even if he can't have a perfect life, fortunately, at least he once pursued the integrity of himself. "

Rooney nodded meaningfully. She didn't rush to speak or pretend to understand. After chewing carefully and repeatedly, she raised her head and looked at lanli again. "So, that's today - Oh, it's past midnight, so that's why the concert was held yesterday?"

After a short pause, Rooney added, "Don Quixote?"

Lan Li was stunned. He replayed the memory fragments again in his mind, and the time began to rewind

The exuberance and high spirits of Heather's rebirth, the bit by bit of the concert, the lethargy and depression of heather, the efforts for "American Idol", the persistence on the road of chasing dreams, and the birth of the album Don Quixote

Once again, the eyes fell on the books in hand. Originally thought that this is just a random selection of books, but is it possible that this is actually a reflection of the inner subconscious?

There was a smile on his eyes. Lanli did not admit it or deny it. "Life is often full of unknowns and frustrations. When dreams collide with reality, it is often dreams that hit the rocks. However, instead of holding a regret, mediocre life; It's better to hit your head and blood on the road of trying. At least, it can make some noise. "

The joking words with a trace of relief and ease, the uninhibited and unrestrained players but also hide the determination of persistent forward, "Don Quixote." Rooney repeated the name again. She had heard concerts and albums. Until now, she really understood the meaning of the album name.

Failed, but not disappointed.

Between the lips and teeth, I chewed it several times. Rooney looked up and looked at lenley quietly.

Rooney is not a gossip, but deep down, like every bystander and stranger, she is full of countless curiosity about this boiling event: "what's going on in one person's concert"? Is Heather Cross's condition true“ Which is right or wrong between entertainment weekly and New York Times?

No questions. It's parenting.

But at this moment, looking at the man in front of her, there is no need to ask, no need to explore, but Rooney has the answer.

She knows that the song "say you won't give up" really touches the frailty and sincerity of the soul; She knew that "one person's concert" was never a planned itinerary; She knew that the New York Times report was authentic.

More importantly, she knew that Langley hall was not the one who was keen on hype. Not before, not now; In the future, hope is still not.

There was a moment when Rooney curiously tried to ask her questions directly. Instead of guessing at random, it is better to ask questions in front, and judge by the answers, expressions and attitudes of the parties concerned; But now, it is no longer necessary.

It's not easy to build trust, but it's also not difficult. Sincerity, sincerity and sincerity are the key.

"Can you tell me how Cleopatra was composed?" Rooney's eyes brightened. "Tonight, I talked to a lot of listeners. They all said that there is an interesting story behind this song. At the beginning, how did you think of creating such a song, and why did you choose this way - you know, lyrics and melody are two different emotions? "

"Ha, what I am more curious about is that I have never told the story behind it. How do they know?" Lan Li frowned slightly, but when he thought about it, he got the answer, "Oh, it should be the Pioneer Village."

"Pioneer Village?" One more topic of interest to Rooney.

……

Sitting cross legged in the aisle of washing liquid and washing powder, two people chatted with each other, from music to Pioneer Village, and then to Sinai Mountain hospital, which happened by accident. Rooney was very interested in this. They chatted about Heather, Anne and Alex, which unexpectedly became the main content of the conversation.

Then, the topic came to their most familiar movies, and finally returned to the city of New York - and then went back to the wheelbarrow beside Rooney's hand.

"Have you decided? Which detergent do you choose? " Lan Li looked at the laundry liquid in front of him, which was like a line of ten thousand national flags. He asked with a smile. Then he saw the embarrassed look on Lu Ni's face, and he added, "I think you all throw your clothes into the washing machine and dryer. You don't need to wash them by hand. I don't know the need to study the ingredients. What's more, isn't it the job of a dry cleaner to make really delicate clothes? "

Rooney suddenly opened her mouth and said seriously, "so why did I think about it for so long?"

Langley shrugged. "Because you're trying to date me?"

In response, Rooney bit her lower lip, but she still couldn't stop the rising corner of her mouth. She lowered her head and began to laugh, causing her shoulders to stir slightly. It was not easy to restrain her smile, and said solemnly, "this is not a date. Remember? We talked about it the first time we met. "

Lanli pointed to the row of washing liquid in front of him, then spread out his hands, as if to say: if this is not proof, then I don't know what else can be proved.

Rooney shrugged her shoulders again for a moment, lost her smile, and solemnly repeated, "I know, it sounds like a routine. But I'm really not interested in dating right now, and I want to rush my career. You should also know clearly that the work of an actor is a waste of energy and physical strength, and there is hardly any personal time to do other things. I haven't dated since I entered Hollywood. You know, there are so many things... "

"You mean the actors who are dating, even engaged or married, are not working seriously?" Lan Li frowned slightly. He always felt that there was something wrong with the conversation.

Rooney opened her mouth wide, stunned, then slowly, slowly closed her upper and lower jaw, "yes, that's what I mean."

Langley showed his understanding and didn't continue to speak, but the strange look was meaningful, which made Rooney smile again helplessly. "Or do you think we're dating?"

Rooney raised her right hand and gave directions back and forth between the two people. Then she opened her eyes and looked surprised, as if to say: God, how can I not know that you have feelings for me? You like me? You think it's a date? So, what should I do now?

The expression of juggling treasure, the meaning is really very clear, blue Li repeatedly waved his hand, "forget it? I came here first, I was here first Lanli also immediately clarified, but seeing the disbelieving suspicious eyes of Rooney, lanli was also dumbfounded. "No, I agree with you. The actor had better devote himself to his work wholeheartedly and never be distracted."

Lanli's competitiveness is absolutely not weak.
