The gray blue sky blocks the light, so that the outline of the whole world becomes blurred. The faint lines depict the outline of the city in the hazy rain and fog. We can only judge the traces of the wind from the swaying wind on the treetops, revealing a trace of life.
Then, a touch of light gold is revealed from the thick haze layer upon layer. The weak light stains the surrounding fog with a layer of light pink. The gloomy London adds some romance and playfulness inexplicably, which makes the smile on the corner of the mouth rise.
This is London - there is always a bright color in the gray sky, but not everyone can find it, and not everyone can insist on pursuing it. Only a very small group of people can follow the light to find the rainbow behind the dark cloud.
Similarly, this is a true portrayal of the hall family.
"I miss the weather a little bit." Lanli's voice rang with a shallow smile. "We can always find hope at the fork of despair, which is much better than sunny Los Angeles and stormy New York all the year round." The words with a touch of warmth.
Philip glanced in the rearview mirror again. "You seem to be in a good mood, Mr. Langley." To be exact, it should be particularly bright.
"Well." Lanli just admitted it.
It's not easy to return to London, stand on your own, fight back and draw a clear line. Only you can know the bitterness and hardship; But after the decision, the world became clear. Lanli was never afraid of the unknown personality. Since he chose to face the impact calmly, he would face the challenge positively.
On the way home again, lanli didn't have the bitterness and humiliation as he imagined, nor did he give too much meaning to the journey. He maintained his normal mind, and even changed a new perspective to re-examine the city, just as he had arrived in New York at the beginning - he would build his own home here, start a new life, and meet new challenges, In order to protect their own inner warmth and go all out.
What's more, at this time, Philip was with him, and his restless mood was calmed down, which naturally reflected in his words and deeds.
Heathrow airport is not far from downtown London. It's only 15 miles away. If there's no traffic jam, you can drive 20 minutes to the downtown area. With the paparazzi following and surrounding, the scenery outside the car window becomes prosperous and lively. It's different from the high-rise buildings in New York and the wide view in Los Angeles, The city still retains a strong flavor of life. Except for the financial district, it is difficult to see large shopping malls or high-rise office buildings, even without special planning and decoration, but only retains the appearance of the city's expansion.
Occasionally, you can see the shops along the street with personality, the single family villas with two or three floors, the subsequent apartment buildings, and the narrow and rugged alleys with a strong flavor of life.
Passing through the road on the west side of London, there are lots of small vehicles on both sides. All kinds of vehicles compress the road which is not very wide. Finally, it turns into a one-way road, which only allows one car to pass through. Even if there is only one car, you must carefully control the speed and direction, and be a little careless, Maybe we need to put the car on the side. That's too bad.
"Philip, do you mean it?" Lan Li couldn't help laughing.
Although Langley doesn't know much about roads and directions, and he can't determine his current position, there's no problem with the general direction of ChElSEY and Kensington, which are located on the west side of the city. This also means that all roads lead to Rome, which is not the most concentrated area in the center of the city, There are many different permutations leading to the destination, including spacious eight lane and narrow one-way.
Obviously, Philip now deliberately chose the most difficult one.
The paparazzi who follow behind are immediately embarrassed. Because of the terrain, the huge vehicle array is forced to change into a long and narrow vehicle line. They follow Philip's vehicles one after another. The advantage of the group's package is immediately lost, and then they evolve into a wedding team.
It's funny.
The reason for Philip's choice is self-evident: get rid of the paparazzi.
Although Langley didn't mind, Philip still made trouble for the paparazzi within his ability, hoping to get rid of the tail.
There are a lot of paparazzi who are not able to occupy a strong position in the rear. A small number of paparazzi go straight ahead and make a detour, hoping to finish the encirclement in front of Philip. In terms of terrain familiarity, they are absolutely the top in the industry and are not afraid at all; More paparazzi are trapped at T-junctions because they can't do it. Traffic jams are gradually formed. They can't move forward or backward. Then the situation is blocked.
Then Philip's strategy succeeded——
When one of the cars failed to control the steering wheel well, there was a slight deviation and friction to the vehicles parked on both sides. In order to avoid creating a greater disaster, it had to stop. Then all the subsequent vehicles were stuck in the middle of the road, forming a fault, and the number of follow-up vehicles immediately showed a cliff like decline.
"God bless you." This is Philip's answer. Instead of giving a positive answer to Langley's question, he expressed his position in this way.
Lan Li couldn't help laughing, and his eyes still caught the building beside the road, "is that Dalton tennis club you just passed?" Philip did not give an answer, but silence is equal to affirmation, which makes Langley's smile more and more bright, "then, they really need God's blessing."
Dalton tennis club, which is a senior private club, is located in Kensington on the west side of London. The club adopts the membership system. It has to pay a high membership fee every year to ensure its membership position. The club also strictly controls the number of new members every year, even if it is not as strict as the private club of hereditary nobles, We are still trying to ensure that the club can have a private and high-end environment.
Hereditary aristocrats will not come to Dalton tennis club, if necessary, they will go to more private and more professional clubs to implement hereditary membership or membership recommendation system; Or go to the private tennis club at Wimbledon and enjoy a rare holiday.
Nevertheless, the members of Dalton tennis club still include dignitaries, business celebrities, judges and lawyers. Arthur has come here many times to talk about business, while Edith and Matthew also come here occasionally to work, so lenley is not a stranger.
Because of this, the vehicles parked at the gate of the tennis club, qingyishui, are all famous cars, such as Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and so on. Any friction and collision may be fatal.
Philip looked through the rearview mirror, and then he could see a group of people getting out of the car one after another and gathering together noisily. The expression changes of ups and downs, great joy and great sorrow seemed to be putting on a human comedy. As a result, the quiet alley was full of all kinds of noises and emotions, even if the details of the conversation could not be heard clearly, Also can still feel that kind of turbulent mood is rolling spread.
Then, after a turn, all the noise in the rear-view mirror disappeared. Even the paparazzi who closely followed Philip's car seemed a little quiet. In an instant, they split into two worlds. Among the curses and annoyances, the figure of the car disappeared.
After that, Philip did the same trick again. He went around twice and got rid of some paparazzi again. In the end, only two cars followed him like ointment; But gradually, some paparazzi also began to wander around, because they also realized that Philip was just circling in a specific area, which also meant that Langley's destination might be around here. They might wander around, or they might be blind, or they might run into a dead mouse?
Unexpectedly, after Philip got rid of the army, he made a turn and headed east, leaving behind a group of headless flies.
Only the rest of the paparazzi can't help but have question marks. They can't understand. What's lanli's destination? There is really no clue at this time.
As a matter of fact, even Langley didn't know his destination, but he didn't ask. He just followed Philip's guidance and walked through the city roads, lazily looking at the life scenes of the city, enjoying a rare moment of peace, just like a holiday.
"Master Langley, here we are." Philip reminded.
Lan Li then took back his sight and gently picked his eyebrow. "Oh, how did he choose this piece? Is Arthur's decision still Matthew's? "
"You like that row of trees," said master Matthew Philip said to the end, but also gave the answer that Langley wanted.
Following Philip's words, Langley looked out to the other side of the car window, and then he could see a neat row of trees spread out, reflecting the stone gray low buildings, and vaguely could see the green lawn and clear lake water, Close your eyes and you can smell the smell of summer - even though the whole of London is now embracing autumn.
This is his home.
Then, in the lush green and dark gray, lanli saw Matthew's familiar figure, dressed in a black suit and white shirt, standing in front of a black wooden door, hands crossed in front of him, quietly waiting for lanli's arrival. In the dark, the cream light on the porch lit up like this.
