Five Hundred and Eighty-Six Lost in New York

The "detachment" was finished, and Renly felt a little empty.

Every time before the finalization, it was always painful for Renly, as if returning from a dream to reality. When the filming of "Crazy Love" ended, he was seriously ill. It felt like a cold. The illness itself was not too serious, with a runny nose, a fever, a cough, and a fever. After all the minor problems were cured, his body was still incomparable. Heavy, dizzy, like a thread, pulling out the tiredness and soreness hidden in the muscles and blood little by little, in order to truly heal.

But this time is different, the whole person has a sense of collapse, but that's all. I feel empty inside, as if I have studied hard for the whole semester, and I have been looking forward to the summer vacation, but when the summer vacation really comes, I leave my friends, school, and heavy schoolwork, and suddenly relax, but I feel uncomfortable, not sad , it's not pain, it's not reluctance, it's just that it is inevitable that there will be some slight loss when saying goodbye.

Recalling that for the past two months, I have been stepping on a fixed schedule every day, meticulously reading the script, preparing for the performance, and entering the state. Over time, this has become a part of life. Every day is hard, but also Fulfilling; and the experience of experiencing life in the Bronx before, it was an extremely difficult time, like stepping on a tightrope, but an extremely precious day, not only became a part of Henry Bart, but also became a part of Henry Barth. part of him.

All of a sudden, it was over, and Renly stood there a little bit lost.

The children, led by Sammy and Betty, flocked to take pictures, sign autographs, and hug with Renly. Except for Sammy, the other children may never appear on the movie screen. This is them The only screen experience in their lives, and the only special summer vacation, they all hope to make memories.

However, it is unknown whether this hot summer can change the trajectory of their lives.

After that, even many staff members came together and took pictures with Renly, trying to record this rare hardship, rare pain, and rare happy shooting experience. No one knows what kind of results "Teaching" will achieve after it is released, and no one even knows whether "Teaching" will be released smoothly, but they know that this shooting experience has become a part of their lives.

After the crew disbanded on the spot, Renly did not leave immediately, but walked and walked slowly along the streets of the Bronx, feeling the chaos and depression of this dilapidated area; recalling the group at Mount Sinai Hospital The children, even if they were sentenced to death, are still living tirelessly, like indomitable weeds.

Life is fair, everyone is facing their own difficulties and torture, and everyone is choosing their own coping methods, so they move towards their own ending, step by step, every step on the road is their own. When it comes out, the ending is also one's own choice, not for the light, but for a clear-cut.

It was true of the residents of the Bronx, it was true of the children at Mount Sinai Hospital, and it was true of Renly. Ren Li folded his palms, feeling the force of his fingertips pressing his palms, firmer than ever before.

After leaving the Bronx, I took the subway back to Manhattan, walking through those strange and familiar steel forests, trying to find my apartment. As a result, he once again forgot the name of the street where he was located. To be honest, it has been almost a year since he moved to the new apartment, but he has lived in it for less than three months. It seems that he is not as familiar as a hotel.

Renly regretted it a little, and had known that he had just let Nathan send him back. After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"You should know that we can't fully believe the client's words. If he lies, it will make us very passive in court. This is also the purpose of our own investigation. The so-called investigation is not for you to simply Repeat the client's rhetoric!"

Charlotte-kelly bowed her head,

He didn't dare to raise his head at all, his hands were crossed nervously, and he held it tightly, even the toes that were hidden in the high heels and wrapped in stockings curled up. The cold and blunt voice came from her ear, with no obvious anger or responsibility, but the indifference hidden between the lines had a sharp thunderous momentum that made her even have the courage to raise her head and look directly at the other party.

The usual Matthew Dunlop is always polite and distant, and the iceberg temperament has some routines that strangers should not enter, but there is no aggression. Although the employees in the law firm were somewhat in awe of him, they were not afraid. On the contrary, many female employees liked him and discussed his every move secretly and quietly.

Charlotte is no exception.

It's just that Charlotte didn't expect that Matthew's work was completely meticulous, not only rigorous, but also serious, even severe, and the calm words contained a violent rage, which made people feel like they were Incomparably small, can only shiver, and even the courage to resist has disappeared.

Charlotte felt like she was about to suffocate. She couldn't even feel that there were other people in the office. The whole space was silent and dead. She couldn't feel the end at all.

The door of the office was pushed open, and a figure cautiously came in. Matthew's words stopped abruptly, but the cold low pressure not only did not ease, but poured down like a dark cloud over the village, even with the person at the door. They all became frightened, but still bit the bullet and said, "Matthew, internal call."

Matthew still didn't speak, the other party gritted his teeth and finished the complete words, "It's a Mr. Hall."

Silence, still silence, when the assistant at the door was about to give up, he heard Matthew's voice coming from a cold voice, "Come in."

"Okay." The assistant backed out. Charlotte only felt extremely sore in her neck, and her shoulders were so stiff that she almost lost consciousness, but she didn't dare to move at all, lest a little movement would make the calm volcano of Matthew explode completely. .

Matthew picked up the phone on the conference table, pulled the phone cord, walked to the glass wall, and said, "This is Matthew Dunlop."

"Hey, Charles." The familiar voice on the other end of the phone made Matthew's mouth twitch slightly. "Uh, do you remember which street my house is on? I'm a little unsure right now."

Matthew closed his eyes and calmly adjusted his breath, "I sent the address to your phone. Your work is over today?"

"Yeah, just finished. It's a really weird feeling to be back in Manhattan after a long stay in the Bronx, and I don't think I know the city. I've been to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, but that's something else. One country, another piece of land. It's really weird to be in two very different worlds now in New York. So, I think I'm a little lost."

Matthew laughed dumbly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Are you sure it's not because you don't have a sense of direction?" After complaining, Matthew realized the meeting going on behind him, "You need me to call a car for you. A taxi? I ​​can tell him the address in advance and drive you back directly."

"No, no. I'm going to walk back. I'm coming out of the subway station. If I remember correctly, it's three streets, right?"

Ma Xiu was going to say: The premise is that you choose the right direction, otherwise, if you go in the opposite direction, you might go directly to the Statue of Liberty. But Renly said "goodbye" nonchalantly and hung up. This made Matthew chuckle again, and at the same time put the receiver back, stood there and thought about it seriously, turned around, and then found that everyone in the conference room looked away uncomfortably, including Charlotte.

Charlotte lowered her head heavily, and quickly hid her eyes. The surprise, surprise, and shock couldn't be concealed, and the sudden ups and downs made her more and more flustered. With a secret prayer in his heart, Matthew did not notice his abnormality.

In contrast, Matthew, who was the focus of attention, was calm, calmly glanced around the conference room, then returned to the front of the conference table, sat down again, as if nothing had happened, lowered his head and took it out. After switching to the silent phone and sending the quick edit of the address, he said again, "We have to start the investigation again and then communicate with the customer..."

The meeting ended faster than expected. After watching Matthew leave the conference room, Charlotte finally relaxed, and her tight shoulders relaxed. Colleagues next to her came up and patted Charlotte's shoulder to express their comfort. . Charlotte cheered up and shook her head, she knew that it was all her own fault, and Matthew's blame was justified. A mistake of this level was originally a tuition fee that a rookie had to pay. Fortunately, Ma Xiu was at least willing to teach her.

"The call just now was really too timely, otherwise I would feel suffocated." Someone whispered next to her, and Charlotte couldn't help but be stunned, and then fell into her own thoughts.

Matthew moved his lunch time thirty minutes earlier, and he was still a little worried about Renly after all.

The Renly guy is smart, no doubt about it, but his life skills are abysmal, the fridge never gets refilled, the clothes never get cleaned, the clutter never gets sorted. Matthew believed that Renly probably couldn't find the way home, and then stayed at a roadside coffee shop, or found a supermarket, sat on the floor, flipped through a book, and unknowingly forgot the time .

This is not Matthew's random guess, it has happened before, and more than once.

He still remembers the first time Edith Hall called him, the polite and cold voice, asking Renly's whereabouts, the Hall family was calm, and no one was worried about Renly's whereabouts. Dess, probably no one even noticed Renly's disappearance. Finally, Matthew found Renly in the cereal section of a Tesco supermarket, while Renly was reading "The Metamorphoses" with relish.

Back at Renly's apartment, he found the key from the lintel, opened the sliding door, and saw canvas shoes scattered on the ground. Matthew knew that the guy had found his way back after all. Is it because Manhattan Island is relatively small?
