1475 Sigh

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The drizzle of London revealed a clear dark blue and dark gray in the washing, and occasionally revealed a touch of wine red and emerald green, but it could not light up the city, but more and more set off the deep and quiet blue, which filled the sky. The ground is densely opened, just like a peerless ink painting.

New York is always prosperous and atmospheric, occasionally revealing a hint of rudeness; while London is always simple and stable, sometimes capturing a little gentleness, but it is a unique temperament that modern cities cannot perceive.

There is an appointment at one o'clock in the afternoon, this is real, not an excuse for a polite greeting.

Entering the restaurant, the waiter came up politely, took Renly's coat and umbrella, and whispered, "Lord Renly, Lord Hall has arrived. But now, he has another guest, may I ask , do you decide to wait a while in the lounge? Or head to the bar for an aperitif?"

This is a traditional British restaurant, the food is a fusion of French and British cuisine, the chef will occasionally try some small innovations, there is no Michelin rating, and no gourmet patrons, because the guests here are mostly high class The elites of the society, they do not need publicity or popularity, keep a low profile and maintain elegance, this is the way to survive.

Even the most ordinary wait staff need to go through a long period of training.

The name is the most basic one. "Lord Hall", which refers to Arthur Hall.

As the next Baron Hall's successor, Arthur is the only child of the siblings who can use a surname - Baron Hall is naturally George Hall; all other children use the first name, close person or The special ones use their middle names.

Also, the wait staff used "guests" instead of names. There are two possibilities. First, in order to protect the privacy of the guests, all the waiters uniformly hide their specific names; second, Arthur explained to the waiters in advance and consciously omitted the names of the guests. As for why the identity needs to be concealed, the reason There could be countless.

"The lounge." Arthur's powerful network spreads all over London, and he may meet people he knows when he walks anywhere. In this regard, Renly has no plans to spy on his privacy, and he is not too surprised, "Please give me I'll have a glass of vodka, thank you."

The waiter nodded politely, and then directed Renly towards the lounge.

The whole room was covered with Turkish carpets, and all the sound of footsteps almost disappeared; the sound of chattering in the slightly moist warm air was surging, and occasionally the sound of cups and saucers colliding slightly, even if It is a little louder, and the "perpetrator" will also politely nod around and apologize-regardless of whether other guests see it or accept it, this is an essential action.

Every detail is exquisite and delicate, and the quiet and elegant atmosphere makes the restlessness of the city and the gloom of rainy days gradually settle down, but if you live in such an environment every day, the restraint will gradually become overwhelming.

Everyone says that Hollywood Vanity Fair looks like a besieged city, people outside the city want to rush in, and people in the city want to get out; the upper class probably does, too. Or rather, life itself is like that.

Walk through the long and narrow porch in the center, behind the entrance, past the restaurant door, and then enter the lounge and smoking room at the end of the corridor - the design is really not reasonable, but it is always the case with old buildings, unless they are overturned and rebuilt. Otherwise, it is difficult to meet the habits of modern people in the building structure.

Then, Renly saw Alf Hall approaching.

The light pink silk shirt top is matched with the sky blue spinning long skirt, the jet black low-heeled high-heeled shoes, and the capable short hair shows a neat and sassy posture. Such Elf seems to have changed, but it still seems to have not changed.

Renly was a little surprised by Elf's appearance.

But Elf was not surprised at all, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her relaxed mouth, "Is everything okay? It started to rain again today, and people can't help but worry about the weather this fall."

"The weather this year was already much better than expected. The summer sun seems to have increased. Unexpectedly, the variables increased before the end of August. I thought that the temperature in autumn and winter might be warmer this year." Renly He also answered calmly, like every Londoner, chatting casually when they meet.

"Philip mentioned, you're looking for an apartment in Chelsea. You can get a little bit closer to the Thames, where summer looks a lot better, and it's a good choice for a walk by the river than Hyde Park. "Alf took the initiative to bring up this matter, not questioning, not exploring, as if just talking about the scenery there.

Renly didn't plan to take the initiative to explain, "It's also relatively close to the West District."

If you wanted to, you could just follow Renly's words and say, "Hey, are you ready to go on the West End stage again?"

But Elf didn't. "Yes. It's more livable than Kensington." After smiling, she nodded lightly, "I still need to go back to the hospital, and I have limited time for lunch, so I hope everything well."

Renly nodded politely and stepped aside.

Elf also nodded again, and then walked away.

After a brief conversation, the two staggered away from each other, Renly continued towards the lounge, while Elf left the dining room.

Entering the lounge and waiting for about ten minutes,

The waiter appeared again, guiding Renly into the dining room, and saw Arthur who was already seated in the distance.

Take a seat, pour water, order food, replace tableware, confirm wine.

During the whole process, Renly and Arthur never talked or had a dialogue. After all the links were completed, Arthur took a careful look at Renly, but he couldn't hold back, "Someone said that you and Ai Is Elf actually similar?"

Renly was noncommittal.

Arthur chuckled. "Everyone says that Elf and I have more in common. You and Edith are the more deviant two. But in fact, you and Elf are one and the same. Humanoid. Your bones are the same, and you clearly know your own pursuit goals, so you will not waver, and always insist on continuing to push forward with difficulty.”

Arthur's words were calm and indifferent, and there didn't seem to be too many fluctuations, but Renly tasted a trace of disappointment. He guessed that this should be related to Elf's appearance.

But Renly didn't intend to spy, it was Arthur's privacy, and it was Arthur's life.

Arthur waited for a moment, before Renly's voice could be heard, he couldn't help showing a small smile, not so much disappointment as loss, "Look, you just met Elf, but you still didn't plan to ask. "This is not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

Renly looked up and met Arthur's gaze. He didn't speak, his eyes were sincere.

This made Arthur a little embarrassed. He understood the meaning of the look.

In aristocratic life, family affection is as thin as paper. They are all independent individuals. They hide all their emotions and problems in their hearts and refuse to communicate. Even in the face of the closest relatives, they cannot reveal their vulnerability. There's no particular reason, because that's how they get along.

More importantly, everyone has their place and their responsibilities.

There are things Renly can do, but Arthur can't, because he's the next baron's heir; neither can Elf, because she's the eldest daughter of the Halls. vice versa.

In the same way, the relationship between Renly and Edith, although Arthur is very envious, he can't express support and affirmation like Edith, both publicly and privately.

At first, Renly chose the actor path resolutely. Arthur and Elf have always stood by and watched. Not only that, but at some critical moments, they also contributed to the flames, which cannot be said to be aiding the tyranny, but they also treated them coldly. This is their life, status and glory, inheritance and history, all of which are like a framework, strictly binding their words and deeds, and they must pay the corresponding price when they enjoy the honor.

So, now that Arthur and Elf are facing a dilemma that belongs to them, Renly chose to stay out of it, which is the right way to handle it. Arthur had no way to blame, not even to be annoyed and angry.

It's a fair deal.

However, Arthur needed Renly's help, took a deep breath, and he finally said it. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't as difficult as he imagined. After the Oscar night meeting, the Oxford Earl's banquet, and the conversation at the Cannes Film Festival, Arthur is still different now.

Fortunately, Renly and Elf share countless similarities, but Renly is not Elf after all.

"George and Elizabeth have now cut off almost all social activities and have maintained a low-key and mundane daily life, but we all know that they will not give up."

"The reputation, glory and status they have spent their entire lives fighting for are now beckoning ahead. Because of your existence, they have returned to a glamorous life. How could they give up?"

"When the incident settles down, they will start walking out again. Borrowing the name of 'Hall' openly and openly, they will return to the social circle. No one will care."

Arthur had a shallow smile on his face, and that handsome face showed a hint of tiredness, which reminded Renly of the meeting on Oscar night at the beginning of the year; but that night, Arthur drank, even drank Drunk, and today, Arthur is not drinking. Maybe things will be different after all.

"We all need to make our own choices, you did, Edith did, me and Elf did too. Elf made her choice, she decided to take on the honor of the surname 'Hall', she It's starting to show up at the big social parties now, you know, she never liked that before. Now, it's my turn."

A simple sentence, but it is unbearable.
