Six Hundred and Thirty Sixth, Long Overdue

From 9:15 to 10:15, it can be said that the two sides did not agree on the exact time. Anyway, it belongs to the breakfast period, and it is not considered late to appear at any time.

From a quarter past ten to a quarter past eleven, the club closed its breakfast service and began lunch preparations, and the uncertainty of things began to increase dramatically.

There was a lot of speculation in my mind. At first I thought that I was late, maybe the other party had appeared before nine quarters, but turned and left without waiting for my own appearance for a long time; There is no need to take it seriously as a joke and wait for multiple possibilities to go around. Because there are not enough clues to make an accurate inference, it is inevitable to be a little worried.

More worry than anxiety.

Worried about the other party's unexpected situation? Missing an appointment, or being let go, is actually not a big deal, as long as there are no unexpected situations.

Of course, the main reason is that Ronan put his mind right, and he didn't just sit there and wait stupidly—then the waiting time was really hard.

With a cup of coffee or a glass of juice, Ronan bathed in the warm sunshine, opened the paper towels and coasters on the table, and sorted out his creative ideas scatteredly.

What theme should be planned for the new album? In addition to the previous ideas, are there any more suitable or different ideas?

How should the track list be arranged for the first solo tour? How to choose the opening, closing and encore performance? Are there other options for concert themes?

Sort out the inspiration, the creative drafts so far, which ones can be included in the next album, which ones need to be trimmed, and which ones need to be recreated?

In fact, I don’t have a clear idea. After all, it’s not a regular job. I just use the waiting time to scribble down scattered thoughts and ideas; and because there is an agreement, I’m worried about the other party’s condition, and my mind can’t be fully concentrated, so I just think of it. What to record, divergent thinking spreads in the vast sky, densely leaving marks on the draft.

Even so, the spirit is in a state of complete relaxation, and there is even a rare sense of leisure, so the waiting time is not so difficult.

To be more precise, in addition to worry, there is also some curiosity:

What is the situation now?

Is it possible that it was a prank, as if I accidentally made a prank but succeeded in pranking Justin Timberlake, and the other party also set a trap for himself?

If this is the case, Ronan will look at Taylor Swift with admiration. After all, all the accidents yesterday happened between lightning and flint.

And then Taylor -- or maybe Karlie Kloss -- has come up with a prank response, so it deserves a little applause.

Judging from the media image, Taylor really doesn't have this type of personality. To be more precise, she completely fits the image of a good girl.

However, after thinking about it, Ronan also realized that he was rigid——

The most unbelievable thing is the image of the media. The spotlight is always like a layer of masks, hiding everyone's true face, not to mention other people, even Ronan himself is experiencing this for himself right now. a little.

From Grammy to Coachella, the major news media portrayed Ronan as a rebellious, unrecognized, unrecognizable, wandering music genius who led the King of the Day from the abyss to the peak with his own power. To create a tall and stalwart image, if you wear a cape and underwear, you can directly enter the DC universe to play a superhero.

Obviously, that is the image that the general public wants to see and the media reporters actively cooperate to create, and it has nothing to do with Ronan's real image.

If Ronan were to describe his image, he would say, a skinny guy who opens his eyes and thinks about what to have for lunch and is always looking for the most delicious chicken wings-the most proud thing is that, no matter what How to enjoy delicious food without worrying about weight, at least not yet.

Well, that's about it.

So, maybe "good girl" is just Taylor's media image, in fact, maybe she is also a mischievous and weird personality?

So, is today's belated arrival really a prank?

While thoughts were surging, there was a dark commotion coming from the bustling gate of the back garden of the club, and everyone looked in the same direction.

Ronan was no exception—in a private club of this level, even the appearance of a superstar could not cause riots, and the staff must maintain their quality. Obviously, what appeared at this time was not a superstar; it was the crowd.

A crowd of people shouting from front to back appeared on the stage at the same time, and they suddenly became abrupt in the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the club. The blackness created a visual oppression. Although there was no loud noise, just the advantage of the crowd could still feel the surge of the air. Just curious what happened.

After all, this is not a party place, and it's still a minority to show up in groups.

Then Ronan saw Alena Bayeva.

It wasn't Taylor or Carly, but Alena, who was completely unexpected. Because it was so unexpected, Ronan's eyes showed a hint of astonishment uncontrollably.

Today's Alena is wearing a light gray vertical striped shirt with wide butterfly sleeves and baggy black harem pants, a black ribbon is tied on her right wrist, and her soft curly hair is draped lazily and leisurely on her shoulders , less usual sophistication, more leisurely on vacation, like fashionable women appearing on the streets of Paris, exuding a unique temperament in every gesture.

It seems that even the sunlight falling on the shoulders has become gentle.

When did she arrive in Los Angeles?

The last time I contacted was three days ago. Alena was still in Vienna, performing a performance. At that time, Alena didn't mention the matter of crossing the Atlantic Ocean at all.

At this time, Alena suddenly appeared in front of him, because it was so sudden that Ronan suspected that he was dazzled.

It took half a beat before Ronan realized that Alena was also a member of the rioting crowd in front of him.

Beside her, a large group of people gathered around her, one, two, three, four, five... At a rough glance, there should be eight or ten people.

Because there are a bunch of people surging, it is impossible to distinguish the boundaries of the group, and the people coming and going around seem to be their companions, so that the whole group is becoming more and more turbulent and bigger like a dark cloud, just Standing quietly in place also attracts the attention of the audience.

They should be Alena's colleagues, that is, members of the classical symphony orchestra. All kinds of clues prove this point, and it is not difficult to guess.
