Chapter 1586 Little Secrets
In a trance, the noise and bustle around them gradually faded away. Even though they were surrounded by a huge crowd, Lawrence and Gawain were not disturbed at all. The conversation between them was getting closer to the truth little by little.
Gawain could feel Lawrence's stubbornness and courage, his determination to move forward with a sharpness and vigor - perhaps he didn't like Lawrence's way of doing things, nor did he like the recent off-field gossip, but he had to admit that this courage and charm were indeed worthy of admiration and praise.
Then Gawain met Lawrence's eyes, openly and without avoiding them.
"Jennifer, you should think about this."
"If I really refuse to listen to your story as you said, and make judgments based only on news or unfounded rumors, and easily believe the falsehoods woven by the media and fail to see the truth, then what is the difference between me and other people in Vanity Fair?"
"We are all just ants among the masses, blinded by the pursuit of fame and fortune."
"I am not worthy of your pursuit."
Lawrence was a little surprised. He had just been trying to explain himself on impulse and hadn't thought it through for a moment. He was just now sorting out his thoughts again.
However, seeing the calmness and sincerity in Gawain's eyes, Lawrence was briefly flustered and stunned, and then the smile returned to his lips.
"Luckily, you're not."
Lawrence said.
Gao Wen: ...
After a moment of hesitation, Gawain realized that he should not have said what he had just said, but should have continued to play the bad guy according to Lawrence's words. His explanation was just shooting himself in the foot. The corners of his mouth rose, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
"I……"
Gawain tried to explain himself, but before he could say anything, Lawrence burst out laughing.
Ha ha.
That laughter was so bright and so refreshing. Although Lawrence did not speak, his smile and expression seemed to say, "What should I do? I seem to like you more."
Gawain shook his head slightly and took a deep breath, "Well, there are actually other real reasons."
The footsteps stopped.
It was obvious that the crowd surrounding Gawain and Lawrence also stopped, and the bustling crowd moved apart a little, clearing a space with a radius of ten meters with the two people as the center. Although there was a little distance between them, people still pricked up their ears to try to catch the conversation between the two people.
Unfortunately, this is not easy. The noise at the scene continues to surge, and the noise behind is like a tide, one wave after another. The conversation between Gawain and Lawrence just disappears into a vacuum of noise, and no matter how hard you try, you can't capture a single word of the conversation.
Then, the center of the circle stopped, and the surrounding circle also stopped.
Then, the noise gradually subsided.
Wait, what's going to happen? The noise was so obvious that it was hard for Gawain and Lawrence to ignore it. They looked up and around in surprise.
——Click, click, click, click, click.
What responded to them was a flash of lights and a silver waterfall mixed with shouts that came one after another, like a summer storm, rushing down towards the two people. The boiling and turbulent air began to burn, and it seemed that one could hear the gurgling sound of boiling oxygen.
This situation is really absurd.
Gao Wen thought he had seen countless big scenes, and as a former reporter, he had also experienced similar scenes himself, but the real feeling was still different, as if he was standing in the eye of a storm with raging waves, and the hairs on the surface of his skin stood up uncontrollably.
Gao Wen burst out laughing.
He was a little unsure whether it was wise to continue the conversation here.
But Lawrence was very calm. Not only did he not panic, but the corners of his mouth even slightly raised with a smile, and he once again showed a bit of gloating. "They are like a tsunami. They can easily swallow you up. We have nowhere to escape."
The subtext seems to be explaining: So, while at the bar, she lost control.
Being surrounded by such tsunamis day after day, year after year, and encountering them once, twice, or three times, one can still remain calm. But what if it continues without interruption for 365 days a year?
One day, the reins of reason will break.
However, Lawrence stopped there and did not continue to defend herself. One could see that deep in her eyes, there was also a trace of pain and vulnerability.
She became famous at a young age, from the second youngest Oscar winner in history to the box office hit of the "Hunger Games" series. She stood in the center of the spotlight and was watched by everyone. Those eyes were also judgmental and picky, like a microscope. No one except herself could understand the struggle.
Then, Lawrence's smile rose again, "So, what's the real reason?"
At this moment, Gawain saw Lawrence's true heart behind her brave, fearless, and straightforward face. Maybe they had only met a few times, but maybe... everything Lawrence said about her love for him was true.
Precisely because of this, Gawain knew that he should give Lawrence a clear answer, which was also a kind of respect.
then.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gawain took half a step forward, leaned closer to Lawrence's ear, lowered his voice, and amid the noise and screams, spoke the answer in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"The real reason is that I have a girlfriend."
Lawrence was a little stunned. He raised his eyes and looked at Gawain in disbelief.
Then, Lawrence saw the sincerity in Gawain's eyes. The faint smile was like the setting sun in the midsummer evening shining on the lake, rippling with sweetness and happiness.
She knew he wasn't lying.
Then, a feeling of loss and regret filled my chest.
The world gradually became quiet.
Although the hustle and bustle was still surging, Lawrence's world fell into silence. Everything around her gradually became blurred. She just stared at Gawain in front of her quietly. That simple sentence cut off her connection with the world, just like Alice falling into the rabbit hole.
"Hush."
"I don't want her to be disturbed."
Gawain placed his left index finger on his lips and mouthed the words.
Lawrence understood, she understood it completely, and looking at Gawain's cheerful expression, her guess was confirmed again, Gawain did not lie; not only that, but Gawain also carefully protected that "her", waiting for her wholeheartedly, and showing tenderness only in front of her.
Those words danced on Gawain's tongue, full of sweetness and happiness; but when they fell into Lawrence's ears, a hint of bitterness rose on the tip of his tongue, and the feeling of loss pulled his heart down, as if the whole world was beginning to fall apart.
In fact, even Lawrence himself did not realize that
The loss was so overwhelming; the emotions were so fierce that I briefly forgot to breathe.
