.,

The light tea fragrance lingers in the room, it doesn't seem to have a special taste, but unknowingly, the mood slowly settles like this, the tranquility of a bowl of tea soup lingers on the fingertips, and then the fingertips touch the tea bowl, I was accidentally scalded, and my heart palpitations broke the tranquility in an instant. Only then did I realize that the sweet taste full of fragrance was clear and long, and those mixed emotions disappeared without a trace in the noise and confusion.

I heard the drizzle of rain outside the window, like a symphony played by nature.

"A cold winter afternoon, with the fireplace burning, listening to the drizzle pounding on the window lattice, and flipping through a ray-bradbury with a cup of hot tea in both hands, is the most beautiful thing in the world I can imagine. happiness. Ah, forget it, second only to being on stage."

At that time, Renly, although young and old, still upheld the heart of a child, curled up on the sofa in the study, and built a small world of his own. After the ensemble practice, he enjoyed the small happiness and the expression of contentment. Made the other sisters and brothers laugh--

The youngest one pretends to be the most mature, obviously a little radish, but seems to have gone through all the vicissitudes of life, so how can they not laugh?

Nearly 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. The four siblings have grown into different appearances, but they can no longer find the tacit understanding and briskness of getting together and laughing, even though she didn't like to hang out with them back then. However, she now seems to understand Renly's state of mind back then, and those vague words became extremely clear at this moment, and Elf couldn't help but fall into a state of shaking.

How long has it been since she calmed down and listened to the rain?

"Sorry, did I bother you?" A deep voice came from her ear, interrupting Elf's thoughts. Her fingertips folded subconsciously, and then touched the rim of the teacup, which made her feel hot. For a moment, it made her fingertips curl up, and her heart also curled up.

But Elf was Elf after all. She perfectly concealed her panic. She picked up the teacup and felt the hotness. She used the heat of the other fingers to relieve the pain of her index finger, and then gradually He calmed down and took a sip of the clear tea soup gracefully and calmly.

"Oh, you didn't add milk? Are you sure? I thought you still don't like the original flavor, and prefer to use milk to neutralize the slight bitterness in it; but I always think that after the bitterness in the original tea soup subsides, you can taste it The sweetness, how about it, after trying it, do you still like it?" That slightly hoarse voice sounded from the right hand side, and at this moment, Elf raised her eyes and turned to look over.

A simple white sweater paired with jeans, there is no extra matching, not even a short hair that slightly covers the eyebrows, and even a tuft of hair is abruptly curled up, the hazy eyebrows reveal a hint of laziness, look He must have just woken up.

She thought that he should be exhausted by now, after all, she still has no news; but... he was sleeping, and then relaxed and talked, as if it was a normal and simple afternoon, enjoying a cup of afternoon tea. Leisurely, still immersed in the comfort of drunken life and dream death.

The Renly in the impression should not be like this; but... how did she really know Renly?

"I thought you weren't at home." Elf ignored Renly's question, but muttered to herself.

Renly didn't care at all, and he didn't have any sense of being caught. "I thought you didn't believe it at all, so I waited in my living room."

Then, Renly slowly picked up the chocolate biscuit on the table, put it into his mouth, bit a corner, and chewed it carefully; the unhurried, unhurried, heartless appearance made Ai Elf was a little uncomfortable—it wasn't the Renly she expected.

"She shouldn't be there," Elf said quietly, but it wasn't a question, it was a statement. The calmly stated fact had a strong force, pressing towards Renly—though it was not condemnation, but it was better than condemnation, and there was a hint of anxiety.

But what is she worried about?

"You shouldn't be here." Renly replied calmly without raising his eyes, as if he didn't realize the deep meaning of Elf's words.

Elf didn't flinch, and just stared at Renly quietly; then Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Elf, and a mocking smile crossed his eyes, as if he was mocking Elf Fu's nosy, "I guess we're all challenging taboos."

"Renly." Elf didn't like the look in Renly's eyes, her words were neither upward nor harsh, but her rigid voice revealed a hint of coldness.

It's a pity that Renly didn't buy it at all. "If that's your purpose, then I think it's too long to be late. So, does it still have the original meaning?"

Those meaningful words slammed into Elf head-on, and pressed Elf's weakness without showing weakness.

Elf was caring about Edith—or rather, Edith.

In fact, Elf's appearance in the Prince's Garden itself has already explained many problems - Renly just returned to London from Dublin this morning, finishing all the filming of "The Lobster"; then Elf went directly to visit , if it is a coincidence, it is absolutely impossible.

What's more, Elf's determination and toughness also revealed spiders everywhere.

Silk horse trail. There may be other possibilities, but Edith is clearly the best answer.

But... Renly didn't buy it.

As he said, if it's too late to start caring about Edith now; if it's just a concern that Edith's actions may damage the reputation of the "Hall" family, then Renly doesn't care. Whether it's concern or worry, or whatever, he doesn't care.

Through Arthur and Edith, Renly knew of Elf's actions: she left the Halls, she devoted herself to her doctor's work, and she was officially independent; but to be honest, Renly didn't care about Elf, they There are not too many fetters in the time, so why pretend to be good brothers and sisters?

Renly doesn't think he owes Elf an explanation, nor does Edith owe Elf an explanation. What's more, Renly has always been hesitant: Can Elf really break free from the shackles of the family, break free, and pursue freedom? Or, at a critical moment, she still can't give up the weight of the surname "Hall"?

He knew that Elf had her insistence, but he was not her.

Elf could feel the toughness in Renly's words, even a little provocative, but she calmed down, "Renly, don't be so childish."

Sure enough, Elf is still Elf.

Renly couldn't help but chuckle, "So, this is the first day you know me?"

The sarcasm and banter between the words didn't cover up too much, and although it wasn't sharp, it was enough to make Elf uncomfortable.

"Alf, I'm an actor, and I'm still a good actor. Now that I've left the stage and the camera, I'm more inclined to be real, so those delicate and delicate performances should stay in social situations. You're not a mother. , you won't be a mother, let's make things easier."

The understatement, without ridicule or contempt, just stated a fact with a smile, but the coldness hidden in Renly's words was like the biting coldness of the winter, stinging the surface of Elf's skin slightly. The atmosphere spread like this.

Renly is still that Renly, but Elf is no longer that Elf: the changes and touches that radiate from the inside out, make her lose her original steadfast stance, and her life sinks into into a wobbly chaos, and then she retreated steadily.

Elf knew that her performance was very unusual, and it was always the same today, from her impatience in the face of Philip, to her sentimentality in listening to the rain, to her restraint in the face of Renly... This is not her. Moreover, it's not just normal and abnormal, she doesn't even know herself anymore.

But the problem is that Elf realizes the predicament but can't find the answer. Thinking about it seriously, she didn't know the purpose of her coming to the Prince's Garden today.

Does she hope to save Edith or to condemn Renly; does she care about Edith or does she want to get rid of the influence of negative emotions; is she ready to approach, or to cut off the final connection after approaching so as to leave completely... She I don't know, she doesn't know all about it.

Those contradictions, those hesitations, those hesitations put her in a state of tug-of-war, and her chaotic mood disrupted the rhythm of her thinking; when she appeared in front of Renly, she became embarrassed. In fact, this is not surprising, because she has been like this recently.

She left the Hall family, she tried to cut off all the connections in the family, she decided to stay out of it completely, and all "Hall" things had nothing to do with her. If it was before, she could do it, she could make a rational and cold judgment, and then make a decision according to her own judgment and bear all the consequences.

She will not regret it, nor will she hesitate.

But this time is different. She couldn't calm down, about the rumors of the charity auction, about the actions of George and Elizabeth, about the falling apart of the Halls...and then about Edith's disappearance...she tried to keep herself sane, but was always confused The news disturbed his thoughts, so that he could not be sure:

What does she hope for? Leave? Or leave? Does she want to ignore it? Or take control of the world?

She had no idea what she was thinking.

At one time, she thought these things were very simple and very clear, and it was not difficult to cut them cleanly. Reason is reason and emotion is emotion. This is also her creed that she has pursued all her life, but now, things have quietly changed, and she Don't even know why.

At this moment, looking at Renly in front of him, Elf didn't know how to refute.
