Chapter 2207

The light fragrance of tea is lingering in the room. It seems that there is no special taste, but unconsciously, it makes the mood slowly settle down. The tranquility of a bowl of tea soup lingers around the fingertips. Then when the fingertips touch the tea bowl, they are scalded carelessly. The instant palpitation breaks the tranquility, and then they realize that the sweet taste full of fragrance is clear and long, The confusion disappeared in the noise and confusion.

Ear came out of the window the sound of drizzle, like nature is playing a symphony.

"On a cold winter afternoon, the fireplace is burning, listening to the sound of the drizzle beating on the window lattice, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands and reading Ray Bradbury. This is the best happiness I can imagine in the world. Ah, forget it, next to performing on the stage. "

At that time, although Lan Li was young and mature, he still held the heart of a child, curled up in the sofa of the study, and built a small world of his own. After the ensemble practice, he enjoyed a little happiness, and the happy expression made their other sisters and brothers laugh——

The youngest one pretends to be the most mature. He is a little turnip, but he seems to have gone through all the vicissitudes. How can they not laugh?

In the twinkling of an eye, nearly 20 years have passed, and their four brothers and sisters have grown into different shapes, but they can no longer find the tacit understanding and lightness that they used to get together, even though she did not like to mix with them at that time; However, she now seems to understand the state of Langley's mind at that time, but those vague words become very clear at this moment, and alf can't help falling into the state of shaking God.

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

"I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" There was a deep voice in her ear, which interrupted ALF's thoughts. Her fingertips subconsciously closed up, and then touched the edge of the teacup, which made her fingertips curl up and her heart curl up.

But ALF is ALF after all. He perfectly conceals his confusion, takes the cup up, feels the scalding heat carefully, and uses the heat of other fingers to relieve the pain of the index finger. Then he gradually calms down and takes a sip of the clear tea soup gracefully and calmly.

"Oh, you didn't add milk? Are you sure? I think you still don't like the original flavor and prefer to use milk to neutralize the light bitterness inside; But I always think that after the bitterness in the original tea soup subsides, you can taste the sweetness. How about, after trying, do you still like it? " The voice, a little hoarse, sounded on the right, when ALF raised her eyes and turned to look over.

Simply a white sweater with jeans, no extra collocation, even a little over the eyebrows of short hair without any care, and even a bunch of hair abruptly up, hazy eyebrows revealed a lazy, it should be just wake up appearance.

She thought that he should be exhausted now. After all, she still had no news; But... He is sleeping and talking freely, as if this is a normal and simple afternoon, enjoying a cup of afternoon tea, still immersed in the pleasure of life and death.

The impression of Lan Li should not be like this; But... How did she ever really know lanli?

"I thought you weren't home." Elf did not make complaints about the question of blue Li, but rather opened up Tucao to himself.

But Lan Li didn't care at all. He didn't have the consciousness of being arrested. "I thought you didn't believe it at all, so I was waiting in my living room."

Then, lanli slowly picked up the chocolate biscuit on the table, put it into his mouth, bit off a corner and chewed it carefully; The calm, unhurried, heartless appearance made ALF a little uncomfortable - it was not the Langley she had expected.

"She shouldn't have gone there." But it's not a question, it's a statement. The fact of the calm statement, with a strong force, was oppressed towards Langley - though it was not a condemnation, it was better than a condemnation, with a hint of anxiety.

But what is she worrying about?

"You shouldn't be here." Langley did not raise his eyes, so calmly answered, as if he did not realize the deep meaning of ALF's words.

ALF didn't flinch, so she watched Langley quietly; Then lanli raised his eyebrows a little and glanced at ALF, with a mocking smile at the bottom of his eyes. He seemed to be taunting ALF's meddling. "I guess we're all challenging taboos."

"Lan Li." ALF didn't like Langley's eyes. Her words didn't go up and she wasn't severe, but her rigid voice revealed a trace of coldness.

Unfortunately, Lan Li didn't buy it at all. "If that's your goal, then I think it's too late. Then, is there any original meaning?"

The meaningful words hit ALF head-on, holding her down.

ALF is concerned about Edith - or worried about Edith.

As a matter of fact, Alf's appearance in Prince's garden has already explained many problems. Langley just returned to London from Dublin this morning and finished all the shooting work of "lobster"; Then ALF went straight to the door. If it's a coincidence, it's absolutely impossible.

What's more, Alf's resolute and tough, everywhere also revealed clues. There may be other possibilities, but Edith is clearly the best answer.

But... Lanli didn't buy it.

As he said, it's too late to start caring about Edith; If only worried that Edith's behavior might damage the hall family's reputation, then lenley didn't care. He didn't care whether he cared or worried, or anything else.

Through Arthur and Edith, Langley knows ALF's behavior: she left the hall family, she devoted herself to the doctor's work, and she was officially independent; But to be honest, Langley didn't care about ALF. They didn't have too many ties. Why pretend to be brothers and sisters?

Langley doesn't think he owes ALF an explanation, nor does Edith owe ALF an explanation. What's more, Langley always hesitated: can ALF really get rid of the shackles of the family and pursue freedom? Or is she still unable to give up the weight of the surname "Hall" at the critical moment?

He knew ALF had her insistence, but he wasn't her.

ALF could feel the toughness and even some provocation in lanli's words. Instead, she calmed down and said, "lanli, don't be so childish."

Sure enough, ALF is still ALF.

Lan Li couldn't help laughing. "So, this is you. She left the hall family. She tried to cut off all the family ties. She decided to stay out of the business completely. All the" Hall "things have nothing to do with her. If it is in the past, she can do it, she can make a rational and cold judgment, and then make a decision according to her own judgment and bear all the consequences.

She won't regret, she won't hesitate.

But this time it was different. She can't calm down. Rumors about charity auctions, about George and Elizabeth's actions, about the collapse of the hall family... And then, about Edith's disappearance... She tries to keep herself sane, but she is always confused by the chaotic news, so that she can't be sure:

What does she want? leave behind? Or leave? She wants to leave it alone? Or are you in charge?

She had no idea what she was thinking.

Once upon a time, she thought that these things were very simple and clear. It was not difficult to make a clean break. Reason was reason, and emotion was emotion. This was the creed she had followed all her life. But now, things have changed quietly, and she didn't even know why.

At this moment, looking at lanli in front of her, Alf didn't know how to refute.
