1130 Absenteeism

Turning around, before he could take a step, Lan Li saw the familiar figure coming towards him. The steady steps slowed down slightly, as if he was worried, and every step was very slow and heavy. The drooping gaze was a little absent-minded, as if immersed in his own thoughts and could not extricate himself.

Then, she raised her head and saw Lanli fifteen steps away.

In the long corridor space, white lights project on the white walls, revealing a Berlin-like coldness and alienation. The empty and long passages seem to feel the air flowing rapidly. The gloom of the outdoors forms a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the indoors, further amplifying the sense of space, but further dulling the sense of time.

In a trance, there is always an illusion of time and space intertwining.

The two people's eyes met in the air and saw each other.

In an instant, the illusion of time and space changes became clear and turbulent. Those familiar memories came to life again, surging deep in my mind. The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but gently rise, just like Anita, the reunion of old friends who were traveling to the old place always makes people feel intimate.

However, before Lan Li could say hello, the figure in front of him paused and lowered his eyes again, as if he was still in his thoughts. Then he turned around and hurriedly pushed open the stairwell door next to him. In a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared, leaving only the door panel that was shaking back and forth, disrupting the refraction of light and shadow in his sight.

Lan Li opened her mouth slightly, and did not expect the other party's actions at all. The first reaction in her mind was: Didn't the other party see him?

Immersed in my own thoughts and completely ignored the changes in the outside world. Even if my eyes are intertwined, the focus is staggered, so I turn a blind eye to the face. This is also completely normal.

But the next moment, Lanli saw the door of the stairwell pushing again, and the leaving figure reappeared in sight. She smiled in surprise, shook her head repeatedly, sighed incredible, took the initiative to face Lanli, and said enthusiastically and happily, "Jesus Christ, is it you?"

"I just felt something was wrong. I seemed to have met an acquaintance, but I couldn't say one. I looked back and it was you! God! Why did you come here today? I mean, I thought, you are still filming in the UK. Could it be that you came back for the Gotham Award?"

The nagging words echoed in the corridor, a little too enthusiastic, even too exaggerated, and it seemed a little stiff, just like... it was like plastic fancy social engagements and courtesy on social occasions, a faint sense of unfamiliarity arose.

Lan Li was stunned for a moment, as if he was savoring these words carefully. He was strongly wondering if he had paranoia for victimization. He had been staying in London for too long. The false intentions from the aristocratic class made him suspicious, and seemed too self-indulgent and thought about it.

However, his eyes fell between the other person's eyebrows, but he noticed that the other person's eyes did not naturally dodge a little; then, he slightly awkwardly, pinned the falling hair behind his ears, concealing his true inner emotions.

Jennifer has a straightforward and calm personality. She is not used to it and does not like to hide her emotions. She always shows her truest self, which is the case both on and off the play.

Therefore, she is really not good at hiding the small details in her expression.

From a positive perspective, this is what makes ordinary people different from nobles. They are always more calm and pure, while nobles always wear tight masks. Although Renli is not as skilled as Elves, he is also very good at hiding his true emotions.

But from a negative perspective, in real life, everyone is learning to wear masks, which is called growth and is also a necessary condition for entering the world of fame and fortune. Sincerity and purity are something that no one in Hollywood are willing to buy. The vain and condemnation of social occasions are a compulsory course for everyone.

Jennifer, one year younger than Renly, is now learning this lesson. But judging from her performance today, she still needs to continue working hard.

Jennifer raised her head again and smiled at Lan Li's gaze. Her expression had returned to normal. She widened her eyes and joked playfully, "Why, have you not met for too long? Instead, I don't know each other anymore? To be honest, I was also shocked. I didn't expect that I would meet you here."

However, the words and expressions were still a little exaggerated, revealing inner tension.

Of course, if it were someone else, they might not be able to detect it, but there was nothing in front of Renli.

George, Elizabeth, and Elve, each of them is a master of hiding emotions. Many times, just a change in their eyes, they can interpret the ups and downs of emotions. Sad and ridiculous, but this is a necessary skill in aristocratic life and must be mastered from childhood.

Lanli did not take the initiative to spy on it. Perhaps Jennifer was dealing with personal things now and was full of worries. Everyone had their own climax and low point, which was normal. Since Jennifer did not mention it, Lanli pretended not to notice it. Her smile paused slightly, and then rose up again. The intimacy and familiarity in her eyes were slightly restrained, giving Jennifer more private space.

Finally, he smiled and teased with a gentlemanly and polite way, "Indeed, I was a little surprised. The first reaction in my mind was, did the paparazzi notice my itinerary? This didn't seem very wonderful."

The relaxed joke made the other party laugh happily. The laughter and smile did not have the image of a lady at all, cheerful and straightforward, and it was still the familiar look in my memory, but in a vague way, you could still feel Jennifer's absent-mindedness, and an invisible wall of air between the two people was slowly erecting.

Think about it seriously, Renly and Jennifer have not met for a long time.

Since the brief publicity period of "Edge of Tomorrow" ended, Renly and Jennifer have once again devoted themselves to their busy work. The two new generation actors are full of work, and they have no intersection at all.

In the subsequent Ice Bucket Challenge, Jennifer actively participated in it and called on the "Hunger Games" crew to join together, making great contributions to the rapid promotion of the event. For this reason, Lanli called Jennifer specifically to express his gratitude.

But that's all. Then, six months passed by.

Neither of the two expected that they met again and were actually at Mount Sinai Hospital.

At the beginning, the first official self-introduction of the two was here. Using Heather as a bridge, they met each other, and then became friends step by step, and even developed scandals, which triggered many discussions in the media.

Both of them are representative figures with outstanding acting skills in the new generation. The two collaborations between "Love Crazy" and "The Edge of Tomorrow" were also sparking, so people inevitably have more expectations. Therefore, Lan Li's paparazzi joke just now was also a pun. On the one hand, he joked about the scandal between the two, and on the other hand, he expressed concerns about paparazzi disturbing the hospital's peace.

"Did you come here to help? Anita and I were chatting just now. She was complaining that there were too many volunteers recently. The hospital did not need so many helpers at all. She hoped that other hospitals and medical institutions could get more help." Lan Li said with a smile.

After the publicity of the Heather Cross Foundation, Mount Sinai Hospital has become another benchmark geographical location, with the number of volunteer applicants skyrocketing overnight, and it has even reached a level of overcrowding.

If all of these applicants sincerely hope to provide a hand, it would be great; but the problem is that many speculators who follow the trend either for self-promotion on the Internet, for the sake of college resumes to become better, or for the attention of the media, things suddenly lose their original taste.

What's more, Mount Sinai Hospital is not the only medical institution that needs help.

Attention and attention are a double-edged sword, and are now becoming a trouble and burden in the hospital.

Jennifer nodded suddenly, "Yes, Anita and I talked about this just now. Maybe we can make a good appeal through the social network, and there are many other institutions that need help."

Jennifer's proposal was approved by Lanley, and she continued, "I came here to visit a few of my children today. They all really like the Hunger Games movie, so I just read the original book for them."

"Compared with fairy tales, teenagers are much more exciting nowadays." Lan Li also joked.

Jennifer also chuckled a few times, nodding in affirmation, "So what about you? Did you come back for the Gotham Award?" After a round, Jennifer raised this question for the second time.

"No, no." Lanley didn't think much, shook her head and denied, "I came to visit Anne. Not long ago, Jos sent me a video of Anne's birthday party. Unfortunately, I was not able to participate. So, this time I brought a small gift, hoping to create a small surprise."

Lanli, who was immersed in work, did forget about Annie's birthday. But later, Lanli made a special call to Annie and entrusted Matthew to send greeting cards and birthday gifts. I heard that the little girl was still unhappy and could not hide her disappointment.

Jennifer showed a sudden enlightenment, then blinked his eyes and said playfully, "Believe me, your appearance is the biggest surprise. Imagine, who doesn't want to see the handsome and handsome Renly Hall?"

After a little joke, he felt Jennifer's usual quirkyness again, and seemed to have returned to the crew filming scene of "Edge of Tomorrow" again, and Lan Li's smile couldn't help but rise.
