The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2021

[1985 1 cup ginger tea]

The morning sun always has a different kind of beauty, the sparse golden color sprinkles on the shrouded riverside mist, the hazy and fuzzy halo wanders in the mist, and the little bit of sunshine seems to be playing hide and seek. In general, people can’t help but go back to childhood, playfully and lively began to look for it, just in that kind of running with overflowing smiles, the goose-egg-like golden-red sun broke free from the shackles of the horizon and jumped out, and then, the dark night The richness and richness of it rolled away like this, welcoming a brand new world.

At this moment, I always feel that the world welcomes me to love myself, and no matter what life looks like, I can muster the courage to face it.

Lan Li sat quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, bathed in the soft golden sunlight, and closed his eyes slightly. His pale face had an almost transparent visual sense, softening the contours of his facial features, and the unique temperament between his eyebrows. Let the rhythm of the whole world slow down, and I can’t help but lighten my pace, lest I wake him up.

Nathan stopped at the door, not wanting to go in.

Last night…truly a disaster.

The false fire alarm not only disturbed Renly’s rest, but also made Renly leave the room barefoot and wearing hotel slippers. Although Nathan pulled a blanket and a coat for Renly in time, Renly also left the room in a hurry. They could only leave in a bathrobe – shivering in the low temperature in the early morning of the magic capital, even if they got into the van in time and even turned on the heating, Renly’s condition worsened.

Thirty minutes have passed since the false alarm was lifted and the safety was confirmed. The rest time was already not enough, and now it is even worse.

Renly returned to the suite, and his body temperature began to rise. At one point, it approached forty degrees, and he almost lost consciousness in a daze; Nathan and Roy hurriedly covered Renly with several layers of quilts, forcibly. He covered his sweat, and then used ice cubes to physically cool down. After working for nearly an hour, his body temperature dropped, but Renly still couldn’t rest for too long, because the busy working time of the whole day came again.

In fact, the publicity team is also trying their best to find a way. Renly slept an hour longer than the scheduled time. Although this was only a drop in the bucket, it was also a little bit of effort from the publicity team; but… work is work after all, and Nathan still wakes up if he has to. Renly – whether to continue working or not, the final decision is in Renly’s hands, and neither he nor Roy can make the decision in Renly’s place.

Although physically unwell, mentally sleepy, and sluggish, Renly quickly regained his professional attitude after taking a bath. With the help of professional staff, he was ready to start a full day of work. Make-up, hairstyle and styling were done. All completed, now waiting for the appearance of the first interview reporters.

Before the reporters arrived, there was still a little time, and Renly sat quietly in the chair, bathed in the sun, with his eyes closed, time seemed to stop at his fingertips,

It is unbearable to break the peace in front of you.

Nathan is really, really worried about Renly, and this is the second time since he’s been Renly’s assistant that he’s been ill – the last time it was for “The Pops” and this time it’s purely because of the schedule. The sickness that erupted from the tiredness of Renly; people often notice Renly’s gentleman image, so they forget that Renly belongs to the sports side. In fact, Renly is rarely sick, which makes this situation even more worrying.

“If you’re not ready to come in, just turn around and leave; otherwise, sit down together.” Renly’s voice broke Nathan’s entanglement.

The deep and hoarse voice didn’t put too much power, with a touch of tenderness, it seemed that it could capture the gently rising arc of the corner of the mouth, and it was pulled melodiously like a cello.

Lightly like the footsteps of a ballerina.

Nathan didn’t stop, walked into the room with the tray, sat down beside Renly, but still didn’t dare to speak, which made Renly’s mouth twitch lightly, and quickly calmed down weakly. “Are you really going to sunbathe with me? Then bring a chair over here.”

“No, no,” Nathan said in a panic, “this… er… this is… the reporter has arrived at the hotel. Now, they are in the downstairs room for the final communication and drafting, and they will come up in fifteen minutes, take group photos first, then take individual photos of each individual, and then interview Annie and Chris first, I’ll interview you at the end.”

Renly’s attention was slightly less concentrated, and his nose smelled a little bit, “Is that ginger tea? Or is it that I have an illusion of a stuffy nose now?”

Even now, Renly still hasn’t opened it. Eyes, the feeling of heavy and tired lingering, there is a little hot stinging pain in the eye belt, as long as I open it, it seems that I want to cry, so I simply close it and lazily bathe in the sun, I can feel it. When the light temperature jumped above the eyelids, it was like an elf was flapping its wings, and then there was a sense of comfort in the hot spring.

“Uh… yes, this is ginger tea!” Nathan was still hesitating how to explain this cup of ginger tea, but Renly sniffed it out.

Renly raised his right hand, Nathan hurriedly handed over the teacup carefully, watching Renly wrap the teacup with both hands, lowered his head and took a sip, his knitted brows slowly stretched out like this, as if he could Feeling the warmth of the limbs unblocked, Nathan’s mouth “hot” stopped on the tip of his tongue and did not say it.

“Has Matthew got off work?” Without thinking, Renly asked a question, Nathan was stunned, not knowing how to answer, Renly didn’t mind, and continued, “Now New York should It was early six in the afternoon, and you just called Matthew, isn’t he at work?”

“…Oh, oh, Matthew, yes, he’s at work, but… uh, knowing the situation, The secret recipe was sent over immediately, and I was instructed to finish the production remotely, what, is the taste not right?” Nathan asked nervously, but saw Renly take another sip with a smile, it seems that there is no problem with the ginger tea , he scratched his head, “How did you know I called Matthew?”

After returning to the room, Renly began to have a high fever, and Nathan and Roy were both extremely anxious. In a foreign country, the two of them don’t know what to do – if you make a special trip to the emergency room, it seems like a fuss; but if you don’t do anything, you can’t get rid of the fever, and this is not the way.

Finally, Nathan thought of an emergency solution: Matthew Dunlop.

But how did Renly know?

Renly still sat quietly in the same place, holding the water glass, without speaking, just when Nathan thought that his question could not be answered, Renly spoke again, with a hint of comfort on the corner of his mouth, “That year, we I can’t remember when they were in Eton, was Matthew supposed to be thirteen? Or fourteen? We were out riding together one afternoon and it was pouring rain, but we didn’t go back to school right away, and He escaped from the horse farm on a horse, followed the road of the town, and escaped all the way to the suburbs, just like Mr. Darcy in ‘Pride and Prejudice’.”

Although he didn’t say much, his soft words revealed a little joy. Now, as you can imagine, it should be a beautiful and pleasant memory.

“But in real life, it’s not romantic at all. We all shivered with cold, like dead leaves that always refused to fall in the autumn wind. We returned to school in a very embarrassed way, and all three of them were sick. Down, hehe.” Renly’s mouth overflowed with a small smile, “What’s worse is that Andre stayed in the dormitory of me and Matthew and refused to leave. He also occupied my bed, but it happened He’s sick, and I can’t throw him out—mostly because I can’t carry him alone, otherwise I might execute it immediately.”

Involuntarily, the corners of Nathan’s mouth rose.

“And then Eaton did the same, staying in the dorm and refusing to leave. To prevent them from passing the cold on me, I became their nanny, God, and that’s when I finally realized how hard a nurse’s job is. “Although he was complaining, Renly’s unhurried voice was always a little cheerful.

“First wash and peel the ginger, then grind it into ginger paste, add brown sugar and red dates, pour in water, put it in a steamer, and steam it for 30 minutes. A bowl of brown sugar ginger tea is finished. Drink it when you are weak, and it seems that even your limbs can become hot.”

Renly’s words stopped here.

This is Ding Yanan’s cold recipe. He still remembers that when he was a child, his mother would always make a cup of ginger tea and sing a lullaby to accompany him. Moreover, that was the only time he could live without a schedule. , stay alone with his mother, just stay like that, do nothing, so he always thought it was a good thing to be sick before.

Nathan then understood: It turned out that the secret recipe for ginger tea really came from here, no wonder Renly knew that he had called Matthew, “Wait, but didn’t Andre and Eaton also know? ”

This time, Renly didn’t answer any more, picked up the water glass again, and drank all the ginger tea in one breath, but still reluctant to put the water glass down, just held it in his hand for a long time, nostalgic for the traces that remained. Warm, and then the curvature of the corners of the mouth rises happily like this.

Nathan didn’t know why, but he didn’t ask any further, and prepared to leave lightly. Unexpectedly, she saw Gu Cailing approaching at the door, and she also relaxed her steps and asked with her mouth, “Lan Li’s Is the situation okay?”

Nathan was a little embarrassed, he didn’t know how to answer, but after thinking about it, he nodded lightly and gave a positive answer, and then he noticed the worry on Gu Cailing’s face, “What’s the matter? What happened to the interview?”

Gu Cailing didn’t know how to explain it, so she could only bite the bullet and knock on the door panel, “Hey, Ren Li, may I come in?”
