One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Four Misplaced Focus

"And what about Chris? Will Chris like the real you?"

After Matthew's question was exported, he was cold again.

Edith cast her eyes at Matthew with a tangled face, but found that the iceberg was unmoved at all, her face was calm and calm, and she didn't seem to realize how heavy the point of this sentence was, but obviously, Ma Xiu knew that it was just that he didn't care, and he continued his usual style.

"Matthew, has anyone ever said that you hate every time you talk?" Edith asked seriously.

Matthew also nodded solemnly in affirmation, "Often. I'm a lawyer."

Edith turned to look at Renly in an instant, "Is he your friend?"

"Matthew." Renly turned to look at Matthew.

Matthew picked up his whiskey glass, sipped it lightly, and stopped complaining.

However, Renly then looked at Edith and didn't say anything, but his eyes couldn't be more straightforward. Edith couldn't help rubbing his temples, "Why, you agree with him too?"

The story of Edith and Chris, Renly didn't ask, so I don't know the context, but it is certain that Chris doesn't know Edith's family background and identity, at least, he doesn't know Edith-Hall The surname is from the same family as Renly-Hall.

For Edith, she has to bear countless pressures for the sake of this relationship; and for Chris, once he learns the truth, he also needs to be mentally prepared. It is a two-way process, as if every paragraph Marriage, like every relationship, this is the story of two people.

"Jesus Christ, I just think he has a good face and a good figure, so I'll just take a look at a few dates, do I need to be so serious?" Edith said with a frenzied expression, "Andre just Been dating outside all the time, the three-way girl last Christmas had already broken up, and since then, he has changed at least four female partners, why can't I? God, I just want to enjoy being surrounded by handsome guys, no ?"

This time, there was no response to the complaint. Edith looked at Matthew and Renly left and right, cast a questioning gaze, and said with her eyes: Say something? Do something in response? Have an opinion?

"If that's the case, you won't be bothered," said Renly calmly.

If it was just a date, then all the troubles would be gone, Edith wouldn't care about Denise's opinion at all, and naturally wouldn't stay in London for a month,

Because it's just a date, continue if you like it, say goodbye if you're tired of it.

It is because of caring, because of heartbeat, because of love, that Edith stayed in London and fought back for this relationship; so Edith was upset and could no longer continue to be free and easy.

Edith opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but she couldn't find the words, so she could only scolded in a low voice, "Damn it." Then she took a gulp of whiskey and said extremely depressed, "But, his chest muscles really feel Good." After that, she glanced at Renly and Matthew's chest, "Well, it's much better than yours."

"Pfft," Renly almost choked before he could swallow a sip of whiskey, "Matthew's... have you felt it?"

Matthew's head is full of black lines, "The subtext is that she has felt you." This is not a question sentence, but a declarative sentence.

"Hey, what's with the disgusting expressions of the two of you? It should be me who dislikes you, okay?" Edith complained angrily, and then left no room and space for the two of them to argue, "Stop, today I am the one who is sad, you are not allowed to continue to complain, otherwise... I will cry for you to see!"

Wait, where did this phrase come from?

Matthew and Renly exchanged glances, and then Matthew said shyly, "It was nothing at first, but now I want to see it, what should I do?"

"Go away." Edith could feel the blue veins bursting on her forehead. She made a mistake, it was a mistake!

The room fell silent again, but it didn't feel embarrassed at all. The slow flow of tranquility and peace was inexplicably reassuring; unlike the big mansion in London, which was so empty that it made people feel flustered, and the silence was so chilling. .

"So, I have to be honest with him, right?"

"Um."

"Damn it. What should I say, hey Chris, I'm actually the third daughter of a hereditary baron, and I have a bunch of cold-faced vampires in my family who have very, very bad opinions on you, how about you, are you interested in going back to London with me? Take a walk around, show it off, and see if their coffin board will explode?"

"good idea."

"Renly-Hall!"

This back-and-forth conversation gurgles like lava, but there is no smell of gunpowder. Instead, it surges up in the warm room in winter, making people smile, and then Matthew's calm and cold voice interrupts. Came in, like a clear spring melting ice and snow, "You can tell him, hey, Chris, introduce my brother to you another day."

"Hey, not bad!"

"Matthew Charles Dunlop!"

The first sentence belongs to Edith, and the second sentence belongs to Renly. Matthew, who was caught in the middle, calmly raised his whiskey glass.

Edith made up her mind seriously. On a formal occasion, Renly and Chris both appeared, and she formally introduced them. At that time, Chris's expression was displayed, and then she nodded contentedly and happily When I picked up the cup, I felt a little more comfortable.

"By the way, there's one thing I've always been curious about. Today is just right, you can answer it for me." The heavy and annoyed mood was swept away, and Edith became the familiar Edith again. And the hazy eyes shone with a sly and bright light. "Recently, Chris has been busy filming 'Captain America 2'. He and the actors in the same play are getting closer and closer, and they often go out to parties, you said, is this normal?"

Is there anything special about this question?

Isn't it a topic of concern for paparazzi, or a topic of daily concern for girlfriends to her boyfriend?

Both Renly and Matthew looked suspicious, not understanding Edith's excited expression.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I meant Sebastian-Stan." Edith added, a row of black lines appeared on Renly and Matthew's foreheads at the same time, even Seeing the traces of crows flying by in groups, Edith had an inquiring expression on her face and said very seriously, "I'm serious, Chris and Sebastian have a really good relationship, and they even lived there for one night. together..."

He didn't say much more, his eyes fell between Renly and Matthew, and then he looked at the blankets and pillows on the sofa, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Renly narrowed his pupils slightly, not only did he not get angry or panic, but said very seriously, "You mean, you have some clues, think there is a possibility between Chris and Sebastian?"

"Do you think Chris is bi/sex/sexual? Pansexual? Or homo/sex/lesbian? Or self-identity disorder, a man with a girly heart under his skin? And then Sebastian inspired this Ideas?" Matthew also came to join in the fun, with an academic expression on his face.

"Hey, you guys, I'm serious!" Edith's eyes widened.

"Trust me, we're serious too." Renly's eyes widened, so the two of them stared at each other.

In the end, Edith was defeated and shrugged, "I mean, is this my illusion, or what, is the strong friendship between men really just friendship? There is nothing... sparks and so on. Is it?"

"You mean, a spark like that between me and you, or a spark like that between me and Arthur?" Renly sighed lightly, even though they were two people, women's minds were still elusive. Still can't understand the way this brain circuit works, it's hard, it's really hard.

"When did I have a spark between you and me?" Edith rolled her eyes and said with great disgust.

Renly spread his hands, "Maybe Matthew thinks there's a spark between us?"

"Matthew, what are you thinking?" Edith cast her eyes in surprise.

Matthew shook his head slightly, "Yeah, what the hell are you thinking?"

A rhetorical question made Edith stunned, and then she reacted, "You don't know...but...I mean..." After trying several different possibilities, I found that the speed of the brain's rotation was a little slow. , I couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and I still had too much whisky tonight, "Forget it, I'll ask Chris directly next time."

Although Renly was tempted to say: Can I watch while I ask? But he held back.

"Huh, can you call a taxi for me? I think, I need to go back to rest." Edith rubbed her temples, feeling a slight headache.

"I'll drive you back." Renly put down his glass and said.

"Forget it, I don't believe in your skills." Edith bluntly complained, "Matthew, you don't have to worry about me anymore, you've already changed your pajamas and left this guy at home alone. , maybe it's going to mess up your whole house." Edith said thoughtfully before Matthew could speak.

"Call a taxi for me." Edith let out a long breath, "Don't worry, although I drank a little more tonight, I can still handle it, don't worry about me..." But the latter The words did not speak, but while speaking, he actually closed his eyes.

After a month of perseverance, a journey of tossing, and a night of pouring out, Edith finally really relaxed, all the tiredness swept in like a tide, and she fell into a drowsy sleep without even realizing her gaffe. past.

Renly stood up, gently pulled the whiskey glass out of Edith's hand, and whispered, "Let her stay downstairs for one night. Matthew, go downstairs and open the door. , I hold her and then come down."

Matthew did not speak, and acted directly. He stood up, opened the door to the room, and went downstairs first.

Renly bent down and carefully picked up Edith in the manner of a princess hug, trying to maintain a steady pace to avoid waking her, and headed towards his apartment downstairs.

The night outside the window was a bit noisy, and the storm was constantly beating against the window, but Renly was sure that Edith should be able to rest well tonight.
