Chapter 186

The boiling noise, the burning sight, the hot touch... And the endless encirclement, the Toronto Film Festival is like throwing a lot of glass marbles into a cloth bag. The bustling bustle almost makes people breathless. The sense of suffocation is like drowning, wrapping people tightly everywhere.

In fact, lanli does not exclude the crowd. On the contrary, he enjoys the lively atmosphere of the film festival. Film lovers gather together, discuss and express their views; Ordinary movie audiences sit on the floor at the gate of the cinema all night, just waiting to buy their favorite movie tickets; Every corner of the city is full of "movie" elements, the kind of crazy atmosphere makes people lost.

This is the dream of lanli. In his last life, he always wanted to participate in such a grand event. Now he finally got his wish, which made him very excited.

However, when he became the focus of attention, things began to change. Reporters everywhere surrounded him. Not to mention watching movies quietly, even eating quietly became extravagant. Every move was put under the spotlight, every detail was stained with commercial atmosphere, and every move was endowed with propaganda significance, There's no peace.

Every night when I go to bed, there seems to be a buzzing noise in my ears.

Compared with the high-profile daily life, Langley prefers to participate as an audience and really enjoy the original happiness of the film. Unconsciously, lanli also began to taste the trouble of "living in the spotlight".

After the closing of the Toronto Film Festival, the triliuride Film Festival will begin. However, Langley had a short three-day holiday before leaving for triliuride and won valuable breathing time before returning to the spotlight again. So he flew straight from Toronto to New York.

After arriving at the airport, Langley pulled his baseball cap, mingled with the crowd, did not attract any attention, called a taxi, and returned to Manhattan in a low-key way. However, when he arrived at the apartment, lanli realized that he had habitually returned to his original home again. Before the Toronto Film Festival, he had finished moving. In a daze, he completely forgot about it.

Helpless smile shook his head, and then called another taxi, back to the new apartment.

In fact, the new apartment is not far away. It is still located in Greenwich Village, but it is closer to Little Italy. The buildings around it have a strong European style, such as simple brick walls, old fireplaces, green Parthenocissus, tall maple trees and carved railings. Walking between the streets is like walking through a historical time tunnel,

Andy's apartment for lanli is located in a 300 year old building, a bachelor's apartment on the third floor. It's a bachelor's apartment. In fact, the whole floor is lanli's, about 2000 square feet. It's too rare on Manhattan Island. Even in the lower urban area, where the rent is relatively cheap, the monthly rent here is up to $5600.

For those rich people, it's nothing, but for lanli, it's a heavy burden indeed. After "buried alive", he hasn't found his next job yet.

Pushing the red brown carved iron door, you can see the typical post-modern retro style decoration, just like an old garage. Dark gray leather sofa, smoke gray short fur carpet and pure black glass coffee table are placed on the right side of the door. Overhead is the exposed aluminum water pipe, and you can clearly see the structure of the house; On the left side of the gate are the kitchen and dining room. The style of black and navy blue is mainly matched with the exposed design of metal pipes. There is also a super high dining table with lacquer surface, which is simple and generous.

In front is a wooden screen wall, and the wardrobe is hidden in the wall by pushing and pulling; Around the screen, the front right is a fully open bedroom, two steps up is a super size double bed, a frosted glass in the middle, the left is a semi open bathroom.

The space of the whole room is deliberately released. It feels a little tight, but it won't be crowded. You can use every corner freely.

However, there were two suitcases and a lot of paper boxes piled up in the space at this time. These were all the luggage of lanli's move. After the move, he had no time to tidy up and flew directly to Toronto.

Looking at such a large amount of luggage, Lan Li couldn't help feeling a headache. He knew that sooner or later it would have to be sorted out. Even if it wasn't today, it would have to be sorted out tomorrow. Otherwise, after coming back from triliureid, it would still be the same here and it would have to start from scratch.

After rubbing his sore temples, Lan Li felt that he had better let go of the work. What he needed now was to relax. So he stayed in the apartment for less than five minutes. After leaving his luggage, he turned and left again.

When we arrived at Mount Sinai Hospital, it was just early 11 o'clock. It was still quiet here, as if the outside world had no influence on it. The changes of the world were strictly blocked outside the red brick wall. The familiar and repulsive atmosphere made Langley's irritability and tiredness a little relieved.

From a distance, lanli saw Annie silyman squatting at the door of the ward. The little girl supported her cheek with her hands, just like a sunflower in full bloom. Her chubby cheek tooted again. Her pouted little mouth could be hung with an oil bottle. She seemed to be sulking with herself. Her lovely appearance really made people laugh.

Lanli squatted down three steps away from Annie. "So, no defecation today?"

"Well." Annie wrinkled her nose and nodded her head, but after answering, she felt something unusual. She raised her head and gave a glance. Her eyebrows wrinkled tightly. She looked disgusted. "Who are you?"

At this time, lanli realized that he was still armed, so he took off his baseball cap, raised his hand and turned over his hair at will. He gave Annie a brilliant smile. "Why, I haven't seen you for a few weeks, and I don't know you anymore?"

"Oh! Blue Annie's smiling face immediately bloomed, as if the flowers and bones were open, the whole eyebrows were stretched out, the world became clear, and the corners of her mouth also rose with her. But then Annie put away her smile, put her hands on her chest and said, "hum! I defecated smoothly last week, but you didn't come to praise me. " Then the little girl directly don't open face, a face "I hate you" appearance, angrily raised chin.

Looking at Annie's appearance, Lan Li couldn't help laughing. The dull laughter echoed in his chest. He likes such moments. He is still lanli, an ordinary volunteer nurse. There is no special or aura. He used to be like this, and he is like this now.

"You did a good job, you always did a good job, didn't you?" Lanli softened his voice and said softly, "so, I believe you will do well today." After that, it was obvious that the corners of Anne's mouth were loose, but she didn't turn her head, which made Lan Li dumbfounded. "You know, I never cheat you, do I?"

Annie finally could not continue to face, smile light overflow out, and then big bloom, the beautiful apricot eyes curved into two curved crescent, "really? I'll be fine today, too? "

Lan Li didn't answer directly, but clenched his fist and waved it gently. Then Anne waved her fist excitedly to cheer herself up. "I'll try again now!"

With that, Annie stood up with a heroic expression of determination. Her fleshy fist revealed a kind of cute energy, but Lan Li didn't smile. Instead, she followed Annie's action and nodded, "Hmm!" He closed his fist and watched Annie walk to the toilet.

Yesterday, I was still in Toronto Film Festival, facing the media's siege. Today, I feel unprecedented peace in Mount Sinai Hospital. It seems that there are two parallel spaces in the same world. When people there are exulting in a gossip, people here are struggling on the line of life and death.

There is no meaning of criticism. The contradiction of pain and happiness, disaster and happiness coexists. This is the essence of the world. However, such a huge gap makes Lan Li feel a real, down-to-earth reality.

After greeting the familiar and strange faces, her tired body seemed to recover unconsciously. When she came to Heather Cross's room again, it was so empty that no one could be seen. On the contrary, a new friend came to the bed next door. Looking at Heather's neat bed, it was like a new hotel room, Langley's heart faltered - didn't it?

"Hey, lenley!" Kelly Barton's voice came from behind, which startled lanli and turned her head abruptly. The fierce action scared Kelly too. She stepped back a little and said hello in a panic, "long time no see!"

"Where's Heather?" Lan Li is not in the mood to say hello and asks eagerly.

Kelly pointed to the other end of the corridor. "In the recreation room." Then she could clearly feel a long sigh of relief. She said thoughtfully, "Heather has been doing well recently. She has made progress in rehabilitation. I'm not sure about the specific situation, but I heard that her condition has not continued to deteriorate."

Lan Li closed his eyes tightly, and the radian of his mouth rose with relief. "This is good news, isn't it?" Kelly nodded her head in a daze, but she couldn't react. Lan Li laughed happily, "entertainment room? I'll go and say hello. " He nodded to Kelly for a moment, and then lanli quickened his pace and headed for the entertainment room.

Far away, he heard the familiar guitar melody flowing out of the entertainment room, which made his pace slow down. Through the glass wall of the entertainment room, he saw Heather holding the guitar, playing with his head down. Step, so stay in place.
