"Lanli... In fact, I have already come to the coffee shop, even earlier than you. I have been sitting in that corner, watching your every move."
He hesitated for a long time, but he could not continue to cheat Langley and pretend that nothing happened. This is not his personality or his idea, this is not him. Although he also knew that if he disclosed it in this way, the scene would not look good, and he was not sure how lanli would treat himself, he must be honest, otherwise he would become the kind of person he hated.
Clenching his teeth and closing his eyes, with the idea of "stretching his head is a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife", he completed the self explosion in one go.
Then, oggs can see that the fundus of lanli's eyes showed a touch of consternation, which made him even more ashamed, and his mind was full of the idea of running away. But he still straightened his back and told the whole story in a straight line, "I specially made this meeting, hoping to test you. I need to know what the actor I'm going to work with looks like; No, no, no, I mean, I need to find an excuse to test you, and I thought... No, I mean, you're not my first choice, but I can't refuse Tessa... "
When he said that, he became more and more flustered and incoherent. He didn't even know what he was talking about - because speaking and talking were not his strong points. If he could, he would try his best to avoid all social occasions and only wanted to stay behind the camera and work on the film.
He wants to stop, but he can't stop; He wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain, and then he started to get angry with himself.
"... Argus, Argus!" Langley didn't know how to deal with it, because he was still not familiar with Argus, but he could feel his chagrin - he was constantly picking his fingers, and the dead skin on the edge of his fingers was torn, which made Langley strongly doubt whether the next second was about to burst into blood, and the suppressed and repressed emotion was bubbling, so he had to do something, So he spoke.
Augus conditionally raised his eyes to Lan Li, but the violent shaking of his pupils revealed his emotional restlessness. He interrupted Lan Li eagerly, "I'm sorry." After a pause, he repeated, "... Sorry."
Lanli knew that he had to do something, otherwise the situation might be derailed, "I know." "I know you arrived at the coffee shop ahead of time, but you deliberately hide your position. I also know you are observing secretly. Although I'm not sure about your intention, obviously, you don't want to be found out."
"..." he opened his mouth, closed it, opened it again, closed it again, and finally failed to restrain his curiosity, "... But why? Why didn't you say so? "
"You have your own reasons, you are a director, I need to respect your choice, I think, sooner or later you will tell me the answer - or not, but I hope to play the role of this work, so I chose to keep calm, maybe I can meet the requirements, and finally play this work." In the face of the truth, Langley also chose to be frank.
Looking at the stunned and unable to respond, Langley added, "so, you're thinking about your own interests, and I'm planning for my own interests. From this point of view, I don't have guilt, and you don't need guilt. That's fair, isn't it?"
Engels showed a mouth state, not able to respond, so Lengleng Leng staring at Lan Li.
Lenley slightly restrained a smile, solemnly said to oggs, "sorry, I pretend to know nothing, this is obviously not a noble move." He was surprised because he didn't expect that he would blow himself up so candidly. Now seeing that he was so serious, he felt guilty.
Langley's frankness and sincerity showed his integrity, which made him wave his hand again and again, "no... you didn't do anything wrong, I started it first... You just..." this should be his mistake, because he launched a trial, and after he was detected by Langley, Langley made a response. Langley didn't have to apologize.
But Langley smiles to stop Eugene. "As I said, we don't have to continue to struggle. I don't mind your test, and I hope you don't mind my reaction. If we continue to apologize, I think we may not be able to start our work today." After a pause, Langley continued, "personally, I hope we can talk about work, because I really want to play the role."
Such simple and sincere words made him scratch his head and smile shyly and embarrassedly.
This is the first time that he has shown a smile since the meeting. At the same time, his chaotic mood seems to have settled down, and there is no danger of "exploding at any time".
Lan Li let out a breath in his heart and relaxed. There were so many accidents this afternoon that even he was in a hurry. It was a conspiracy and calculation, but it turned out to be a confession of truth. The trend and turning point of the whole incident was too fast and too urgent. He was also full of questions and could only rely on his own instinct to respond.
He really didn't want to "detonate" Argus.
At this time, the waiter brought the black tea of Argus.
At the same time, lanli took his own coffee, guided by his actual action, and asked with a smile, "milk? Sugar? "
"Milk." Oggs picked up his black tea with both hands, politely cast a look at Lan Li, watched Lan Li add some milk for himself, and motioned, "thank you." Then he took a sip of the tea cup and put it on his mouth. The hot tea juice slipped into his stomach, and his tense muscles relaxed. Now he finally found some sense of stability, and his mood and state were stabilized.
He raised his eyes with formality and shyness, glanced at lenley and added, "thank you. I mean... "
Seeing that Eugene would continue to explain, Langley answered half a step ahead, "you're welcome."
There was no superfluous words, but such a short and clear reply was enough. Eugene was reassured and gave a shy smile to lenley.
Carefully put down the teacup, oggs is organizing the language, thinking about how to discuss the lobster, but still a little uneasy, "lenley, I'm sorry, I mean, wait, how did you find me? Do you serve in the coffee shop? Or any other details? Sorry, I can't stop thinking. There are always many questions in my mind. If these questions are not answered, I can't calm down. "
He put down the coffee cup, too.
"Argus, you may be an excellent director, but you are not an excellent actor. At least, spy movies should not be your style." Lanli said in a gentle tone. He didn't criticize or ridicule, or even joke. He just stated a fact lightly.
Because Langley is not sure whether it is suitable for joking now. What if Eugene collapses again?
Instead of smiling, he asked, "which part?" It's like there's a serious academic discussion going on.
Lanli also showed a dedicated attitude, "no one will read newspapers like that, too high; No one will continue to move up and down the newspaper, the action is too frequent; Of course, one or two times may be normal, but I have noticed at least three times... Not to mention that there is no sound of turning over the newspaper in the whole process. "
Before the last sentence came out, Langley stopped for a moment, and he was about to say something: he didn't know whether to explain or discuss, but he just felt that he should respond; Then, Langley said the last sentence, which shocked him completely. "Are you a spy?"
"Well, James Bond is also an actor in a way." Lanli answered in his own way.
Eugene is savoring it.
Lan Li's words are not over yet. "Before, I just had some doubts and guesses. In the final analysis, it's not difficult to wait, so I kept my patience, but what really confirmed my idea was what happened after you stood up."
"I left the coffee shop so stealthily, didn't I?" he said
Positive solution.
Angus is a fat man, a little fat man. He is very big. When he leaves the coffee shop on tiptoe and against the wall, it's not easy to ignore him.
Langley doesn't even need to look up to see if the other person is Argus or not. He just needs a little wind and grass to move, and Argus' action will be stiff, which is more direct than the remote control robot. This is the most obvious signal.
But Lan Li did not plan to make complaints about Augs, but smiled, then went on, "from leaving to returning, the whole time interval is too short." You didn't change your coat. The goal is very obvious. It's easy to think about it. The most important thing is... "
Before Langley could speak, Argus said with some frustration, "what else?" That pair of eyes looked at lanli like a lost dog.
"I can stop here." With a smile, Langley raised his hands to show his surrender.
After hesitating for a moment, he straightened up again. "No, I still want to know the result." Otherwise, he will not be able to settle down.
"After you came in, you didn't even look or observe, and walked directly in my direction, which means that you already know where I am." Langley said the last detail and put the whole puzzle together - but in fact, such details are no longer important, because then Eugene has already sat in front of Langley.
However, Eugene was still shocked and didn't know how to respond. He knew that he might have exposed some details, but he didn't know that he was full of loopholes. In other words, his behavior was seen through from the beginning, and his secret observation had no meaning at all. So, did he still count on the test of Langley?
Thinking of this, the thoughts in his mind were a little mixed, and he stayed in the same place for a moment.
