Jennifer stood at the door of the ward, looking at what was going on inside with some curiosity and hesitation. Unexpectedly, within a minute before and after lanli went in, she turned and came out.
Jennifer can't help but give way to her seat and get out of the way at the door. Lanli comes out and turns their eyes, but just nods politely. Then Jennifer looks into the ward again. She's worried about heather.
In the ward, the chilly white revealed a chill. Heather sat still and looked at the kite. The sparse halo outlined her tight muscles, but showed a sense of weakness. The uncontrollable anger and nothingness came down faintly, as if time stayed on her thin shoulders and forgot to move on.
Compared with the vent and roar just now, this kind of heather is more distressing.
At this moment, Heather's right hand hesitated to lift, extended toward the direction of the kite, seemed to want to reach out to touch, but because of inner fear and stopped action, the stiff fingers in the air pale and thin, gently trembling, revealing her weakness and struggle.
Feeling a little sour in her nose, Jennifer bowed her head and wiped the wet corner of her eyes. She raised her feet to enter the ward. However, the man next to her stepped forward and blocked the door. She shook her head gently. The silent refusal was irresistible.
This made Jennifer puzzled and angry. She opened her mouth to argue, but he shook her head again. Instead of saying anything more, he looked up into the ward. Jennifer couldn't help but follow his line of sight and look at it together. Then she saw Heather's right hand come down feebly, her shoulders droop, and a wave of sadness swept in.
But just when Jennifer thought Heather would collapse, Heather straightened up again and sat quietly in the same place, looking back at the Butterfly Kite. I didn't get out of bed to touch it, but I didn't lie down again. I just kept sitting quietly. Although there was not much change, Jennifer could feel that Heather's violent mood was slowly calming down.
It's amazing.
"What's going on?" Jennifer couldn't figure it out. She looked up and wanted to ask lanli, but she caught a glimpse of Heather's turning back. In a panic, she turned around and stuck it on the wall. She left the window of the ward door as much as she could, so as not to reveal her whereabouts.
With her heart beating fast and pounding, Jennifer found the moment suffocating. Turning her head, she saw blue Li on the other side, just like her. She stuck to the wall like a gecko. Her face was full of panic. It was so funny that it made her laugh. Then she realized that it couldn't be done. She bit her lower lip tightly and controlled the laughter.
The two of them kept their posture for a short time. Then, Jennifer noticed that lanlishi stood up with a calm face. She was stunned and immediately reflected that they had avoided the glass of the door. There was no need to stick to the wall or squat down. This was not a spy movie, There are no cameras and monitors everywhere.
Aware of this, Jennifer also slowly stood up and smoothed her hair down to her ears to hide her embarrassment. Seeing that Lan Li had stepped out of the ward, Yu Guang quickly followed her. After several big steps followed her, she couldn't wait to ask, "what's the matter with that? Is Heather really okay? "
Lanli stops. Jennifer doesn't stop for a moment. She actually walks past. She stops, turns around and stands face to face with lanli, but she doesn't take the initiative to approach, maintaining the two-step distance between them.
"I don't know." Langley began to answer. Jennifer's question mark became more and more unexplained. "What?"
Langley shrugged and repeated, "I said, I don't know." Then he went on, "I don't know if it's okay with Heather. I don't know what she's thinking. I'm just trying to treat her as a friend. If my friend suddenly left for half a year and had no way to Party and revel with me, I would be disappointed, even angry, and the friendship would gradually disappear; If I have a headache, a fever and a cold, I would like someone to take care of me, but I hope he doesn't make too much noise, because my head hurts enough and I don't need more noise. "
At first, Jennifer tried to open her mouth, but gradually her shoulders began to droop, and her momentum subsided. It's not because of how right Langley's words are, but because of the core meaning of Langley's words: what Heather needs is not pity, help or encouragement, but a friend.
Recalling what she had just done, Jennifer realized that maybe she was in a hurry. "I'm sorry." Jennifer sighed with chagrin. "I just..." after thinking about it, she was frustrated that she couldn't find the right words. "I just wanted to help“
"Me too." Lanli's tone was still calm. "We are all friends of heather. I think there are different types of friends, including me and you. Only in this way can life be colorful. "
"Are you enlightening me? Or are you satirizing me? " Jennifer knows that she still has a lot to learn when she gets along with Heather in the future. When she hears lanli's words, her smile rises.
"People always choose what they want to hear," he said
There was a strong irony in the words, but it was not sharp. On the contrary, there was a faint warmth. Jennifer bit her lower lip and nodded her approval. Looking up again, Jennifer graciously greets lenley's eyes. "The last time I was at the Los Angeles Airport, I think I owe you an apology."
"No, it's me who should apologize." Lanli also took the initiative to apologize. In the crowded public space like the airport, he should not wear earplugs.
"Oh." Jennifer chuckled. She didn't expect that Langley would respond like this. If you think about it carefully, the two meetings are like this, starting with misunderstanding and ending with embarrassment, "we'd better not continue to apologize, otherwise others will think I robbed your girlfriend."
Such an interpretation made Lan Li laugh happily and gently retract his chin. "This is a reasonable explanation."
Jennifer's mood lightened. "But one thing, I'm too impatient. I'm always on the rampage. I have to improve on that. So I do owe you an apology. "
"I thought we were through this." Lanley's smile made Jennifer pause for a moment, think it over, and then ask, "did anyone say that? You don't look British. "
Blue Li stares round eyes and says in surprise, "is this... A good thing? Or bad? "
Realizing the mistake in her way of expressing herself, Jennifer waved her hand. "Look at me, once again, I'm out of my way. I mean, your words and your intonation look like people coming out of Cambridge or Oxford, but your smile... "Looking at Langley's deeper and deeper smile, Jennifer rolled her eyes helplessly and said to herself," well, my personality is obviously going crazy again. You can take it as if you didn't hear me. "
In fact, British people don't like to laugh very much. They even refuse to talk on the subway. The smile at the corner of their mouth is alienated and indifferent. The sense of distance between people is very obvious, especially in London; But lanli's smile is like... Like a child. Jennifer remembers the picture of lanli flying kites downstairs with the children. It's really not like an Englishman.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Langley said with a light smile, and Jennifer burst out laughing brightly. "So was that flirting?" After that, she was amused and began to laugh clearly. The laughter echoed gently in the corridor, and then she realized her impoliteness and quickly covered her mouth.
Lan Li opened his hands with a smile and raised his eyebrow. "If it's flirting, we're both doing too bad."
With a nod of approval and a look of disgust, Jennifer politely held out her right hand. "I think we missed an important link. The gentleman I met for the second time, I'm Jennifer Lawrence
Lan Li really forgot this link, because he naturally knew each other, but he still stretched out his right hand, "the lady who met for the second time?" Langley's gently rising tone of questioning made Jennifer wrinkle her nose and protest, "I'm Langley hall."
Then, two people's right hands in the air friendly grip, the distance between the two people instantly shortened, appears formal and grand, gently shaking twice.
"I'll have something else to do later. I won't stay here long today. See you next time. " Langley bowed politely after goodbye, then walked around Jennifer and headed for the elevator.
Jennifer turned and waved friendly to blue's back. "Goodbye."
After a few steps, Langley stopped again. Annie sat on the orange bench again, looking unhappy. It was obvious that today's task was still unfinished. Lanli touched Annie's head and whispered a few words. Then she saw that Annie's chubby face was completely wrinkled. She made a face at lanli, but the smile at the bottom of her eyes appeared, which made lanli laugh.
Then, Lan Li stood up, walked to the elevator, said hello to the nurses in the nurse station, and soon disappeared in the elevator.
Jennifer also turned around and went in another direction. She volunteered again. This afternoon is far from over.
