Inside and outside the room, both lanli's back and Rooney's back were against the wall. The hot skin was on the cold brick wall, but there was no sign of recovery; Calm down, as if you can listen to the sound of heart beating, seems to be their own, it seems not, the sound of collision, revealing a sense of peace and joy; Immersed in their own world, the corner of the mouth smile can not help gently up.

The noise inside, the noise outside; Inside the warmth, outside the cold, two completely different worlds are gradually integrated on both sides of a wall.

"Rooney!"

A cry interrupted Rooney's thoughts, and the vague warmth broke like a punctured bubble. Rooney gave a pep shot and looked at the source of the voice. It was Paul Walker, with a bright smile on her face. She waved to Rooney and said clearly, "we were just discussing 'social network', Didn't you mention to Langley last time what happened to Jesse's performance? "

Rooney regained her composure, put a smile back on her face, and walked up quickly.

Sitting quietly in the same place, Lan Li gently played with the cigarette in his hand, hesitated several times, tried to light it, but finally chose to give up. He put the cigarette back into the cigarette box, raised his eyes, and watched the dim lights of New York City quietly go out, just like the last of the fight club. The two people who love each other quietly appreciate the magnificence and magnificence of the destruction of the world.

Late at night, New York is getting colder and colder. The raging cold wind is not as gentle and warm as June at all. It is surging by. The body temperature is still gradually losing, and it can't help shivering. The goose bumps on the surface of the skin wake up the brain conscientiously.

Consciousness finally returned to the brain, and Langley stood up and returned to the room.

Warm and lively surge, the body muscles will gradually stretch out.

The party atmosphere of leisurely and attentive conversation and laughter did not become different because of the departure and reappearance of lanli. However, it was not the kind that was ignored or neglected, but the kind and casual after slowly relaxing. Occasionally someone noticed the appearance of Lan Li, but he just picked up his glass, raised his hand, and then continued his conversation.

It's a relaxing atmosphere.

Langley finds Matthew Dunlop chatting with Jack Gyllenhaal on the sofa next to his desk.

Langley sits down beside him, but he doesn't interrupt the conversation between Matthew and Jack, and doesn't intervene naturally. He just listens quietly. For a long time, Jack is called by Scarlett Johnson and Paul Walker. Then Langley and Matthew sit in the same place, quietly watching the hot scene in front of them.

"Chris has been looking for a chance to talk to you. Are you sure you don't want to give him a chance?" Matthew's calm words broke the peace of the atmosphere, but it was not abrupt at all. There was a little bit of ridicule in his calm words.

Along Matthew's line of sight, lanli saw Chris standing next to the bar. The whole person seemed absent-minded. From time to time, his line of sight projected to the direction where lanli and Matthew were. The action was so obvious that it was not easy to ignore it.

This is the first private meeting between Langley and Chris after the night of the Oscars. When they were in Cannes before, there were a lot of media on the scene. They just nodded and didn't communicate much; What's more, today's occasion, when Edith and Arthur are both here, is still the night when Langley made history, which makes it more special.

"I'm not Arthur, I don't deliberately create difficulties; But I'm not Eaton either. I'll take the initiative to deliver it to you. That's disrespect for Edith. " Lan Li said with a smile, and nodded to Chris with a smile. Chris nodded casually, awkwardly, and then quickly turned his head, pretending that nothing had happened.

Matthew said softly, "you're the easiest one for the hall family."

A meaningful words, let two people quiet down. However, the quiet and warm atmosphere still hasn't changed much, because they all know that lanli is really independent now, and now the power of the hall family is changing little by little, although lanli doesn't care.

Lanli was more relaxed and silent for a moment. He said again, "today's party, you are the real planner." This is not a question sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

Although all the arrows pointed to Edith just now, lanli knew that it was just a joke. Edith's ability was not that, and she didn't like organizing parties, otherwise she would not go to the battlefield alone to interview; As for Arthur, he knew that lanli didn't like to work hard and planned a party, which was not good enough, but needed to face lanli's anger. Naturally, he would not take such a risk.

Only Matthew.

Matthew's eyes flashed a smile, did not admit, but did not deny, in fact, this is the best answer.

Matthew has been planning since the Oscars three months ago.

He could feel that Lan Li was gradually becoming estranged, not the sense of distance of gentleman etiquette, but the strangeness of looking left and right but unable to find someone close to him. From childhood to adulthood, they knew each other for almost a lifetime. This was Matthew's first time to see this; He could even feel that Lan Li was drifting away, like a kite in his hand. He lost his way back in the strong wind. One day, after the kite line broke, he would never come back.

So Matthew prepared the party.

Even if Matthew knew that this might offend lanli's anger, even if Matthew knew that lanli never wanted to trouble his friends and didn't like parties; But there are more important things to do now, so Matthew is still adamant. Egot is just an opportunity. No matter whether lanli can achieve egot tonight, the party will be held on time, but the theme and meaning will be different.

Matthew didn't regret it or worry about it. He didn't intend to explain it at all. He calmly met Lan Li's eyes and seemed ready to bear the anger.

Blue Li quietly looked at Matthew, expressionless, unable to ponder, but at the end of the silence, a smile quietly climbed between the eyebrows, "you know I won't be angry."

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

fear.

Matthew's choice of adjectives is really interesting.

Lan Li chuckled, "but you can see through it." Otherwise the party wouldn't exist“ To be honest, should I start ahead of time now? "

It's an aristocratic inner terrier. If a person is seen through by others, it is very dangerous. We must start first, either alienate or solve it. Otherwise, it is easy to fall into the dilemma of "man-made victors, I am fish". This is very terrible for the aristocracy. It's like the Chamberlain or eunuch who knows the emperor's secrets.

Matthew spread out his hands and said, "it's too late. All the evidence has been backed up. You should know me. I'm an excellent lawyer. " The calm tone revealed a bit of pride and pride.

Lan Li didn't retort. He was silent for a moment. The smile at the bottom of his eyes came out slowly, "thank you." Sincerely.

Matthew's expression still didn't change much. He just said calmly, "I've made a list of the rewards and sent it to you tomorrow."

Lan Li was dumbfounded with a smile on his lips.

"Here we are." Matthew said suddenly.

Along the line of sight, you can see a smiling face of Chris coming, but because the smile is too exaggerated and too bright, it shows its feet.

Lan Li gently pursed the corners of his mouth, "too slow. I think that he is a decisive character, the first time I appear, he should take the initiative to come up, did not expect such indecision. Sure enough, the rumors in the industry are not very accurate. "

"He hesitated about playing Captain America several times before, which shows that he is a man who can be convinced." Matthew also made a calm judgment, not only did not persuade, but also continued to stir up the flames, a look of fear that the world will not be in chaos, but Matthew did not mean to Chris, at this moment, his identity is a friend of Langley, and Langley's position is his position, it is so simple.

Lan Li didn't make any obvious moves, but he glanced at Edith at the other end of the room with the light of his eyes. "I think, compared with him, that's really wonderful. God, I never knew that she could be so sad and worried about gain and loss. God, I would hardly know her. "

Edith, who is always cool, is absent-minded with the champagne in her hand. She can't see too many abnormalities on the outside, but it's not difficult for lenley and Matthew to capture her real thoughts. It's because of familiarity, but also because today's Edith is really a little anxious and bored, and the emotional cover up is not enough.

It can be felt that Edith's sight was drifting all the time, and she didn't rush forward.

Because she also knows that Langley is the simplest and most open-minded part of the hall family, not only because Langley is a member of Hollywood, but also because Langley never abides by the so-called framework and discipline. If even Langley can't get through, then the future of her and Chris will be hopeless. George and Elizabeth can eat him alive. Chris needs to face Langley on his own.

But on the other hand, Langley is just the most difficult part of the hall family, because he is unshakable, his firm and resolute, even George and Elizabeth are afraid of three points. If we say that in the past, lanli still had some scruples, and more or less longed for family recognition in his heart; Now this last scruple has disappeared, and it disappeared with the banquet of the count of Oxford that night.

So Edith did have some anxiety.
