The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2078

[2042 long memory]

White shirts and black suits, obediently, meticulously ironing the shoulder line and waist line, no deviation in every position of the cuffs, necklines and trousers, perfectly showing order and rules; even in the hot summer of August , but the Windsor bow tie is still not loose at all, forming a faint echo with the square scarf, pocket watch, and handkerchief leaked from the details, revealing the nobility and elegance of the aristocracy invisibly.

The complete and strict dressing style seems a little out of place in daily life, but in New Orleans, there is an innate fit and harmony, because this is a city that respects tradition and heritage, and because it is a city that advocates gentlemen and A city of etiquette, a suit and shirt are a rite of passage when night falls and the party kicks off; not to mention an entire outfit is a must when you’re listening to jazz.

Exposure to this place reveals a sense of naturalness, but also a sense of alienation. Perhaps it is the introverted and low-key inherited from the European hereditary aristocracy. After three centuries of evolution and integration in New Orleans, But it can no longer be found.

It was Hall’s housekeeper, Philip Demba, who appeared at the entrance of the arrival hall of New Orleans Airport.

Seemingly aware of the hustle and bustle of staring, Philip Demba waited for Renly to pass his position, bowed politely to the crew members, and then turned around to speed up his pace. He walked around Renly’s walking route without running, and walked to the car first, opened the door for Renly, and waited for Renly to get into the car, then took a detour from the rear of the car to the driver’s seat. The seemingly unhurried movements completed the work neatly, swiftly and quickly, and finally walked away.

The members of the “Jurassic World” cast and crew reluctantly took their eyes back and whispered that their bearing and aura were really different.

Usually, Renly is also a high-ranking figure, and he is absolutely top-notch in the world. It is a kind of oppressive feeling for the crew members. But no matter what, Renly is still an actor. In short, still a part of Hollywood, and they are in the same field.

Today, Renly has evolved into a character in another world. The insurmountable sense of distance has instantly switched to another mode. It is out of sight and out of reach. In addition to being amazed and curious, it can’t even produce any sense of identity. There was a self-sigh involuntarily between them: I can’t believe that I have worked with such a character for such a long time.

“Oh…I finally understand now why everyone was so shocked and surprised when the magazine broke the news that Renly was a hereditary noble.”

Nick Robinson’s half-understood sigh caused the crew members to laugh in disbelief. Er, exchanged glances, and Nick asked another question, “You said,

Are the others, like us, speechless when they see Renly… uh, at times like this?

”

…How could we be so shocked that we were speechless?”

“Colin tried to refute, then turned his head to look for support, hoping that others could make a little noise.

But… there was silence, and then Colin could only scratch his head and said nothing.

“Wait, that one just now .

Is it a Bentley?

”

At this time, Renly, who was sitting in the black Bentley, twisted his shoulders a little, so that the tense muscles could relax. The movement of the whole movement was a little big. Even if he didn’t look up or looked at each other, Renly could feel it. Philip’s reproachful gaze from the rearview mirror.

“I’ve just had a long flight and it’s okay to relax now.

Besides, it’s only you here, isn’t it?

”

Actually, Philip didn’t look in the rearview mirror, it was just Renly’s habit, he could faintly feel the tiredness in Renly’s voice, and there was a faint smile in his slightly hoarse voice, as if he was complaining. The distress brought about by a long flight reminded Philip of Renly’s habit: when he just woke up, he always had a little temper.

Philip didn’t say much, he just slowed down the car a little and let the car The movement of the car stabilized, ensuring that Renly could rest for a while.

Sure enough, after a short while, Renly was leaning back in the chair, completely relaxed, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

In New Orleans It was no doubt very, very unexpected to see Philip. In my memory, this was the first time Renly saw Philip on the North American continent; for Philip was always at the back of London’s base camp, even those who were on vacation in Europe. When the time came, he seldom followed.

But Renly didn’t ask. He knew that Philip was always here for a reason, and when the time came, Philip would speak; , Seeing Philip appear, Renly can always relax and find peace.

The car drove smoothly on the slightly uneven roads of New Orleans, but Renly didn’t feel the slightest bump. All the thoughts in his brain were completely emptied and completely relaxed, vaguely producing a feeling of being in Venice. The illusion is like lying on a gondola, feeling the laziness and comfort of the afternoon sun in the swaying and swinging sea waves, and it is not clear whether it is a dream or reality.

“Philip, when was the last time you left home?” Renly asked curiously, half asleep.

“Summer 2000, Tuscany,” Philip replied succinctly without looking back.

An image appeared in Renly’s mind immediately, and a small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, “Ha, the time we sneaked away on a bicycle in the villa, right?” That was a very, very distant memory. But the memory picture is still vivid. It was only him and Matthew that time. Andre and Eaton went to other places for vacation. “Do you know what we found in the end? A waterfall, hidden in a dense forest, seems to have never been A secret wonderland that no one has ever reached.”

Philip glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eyes and asked, “Do you like it?”

Somewhat surprised.

Because Philip rarely asks questions actively, most of the time he only answers passively, which is also one of the professional codes of the housekeepers: try to avoid opening the topic actively, they do not need to complete the exchange and dialogue, but passively accept the information wastebasket , and then rot all the information in the stomach.

The corners of Renly’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of playfulness, but he didn’t say much, “Yes. It started because we sneaked away from the villa. I know George and Elizabeth wouldn’t care, but breaking their rules always It was especially interesting; however, all our attention was then focused on the natural beauty. Being in that forest and that waterfall, all the troubles of life became irrelevant, it was like an eternity A dream that I don’t want to wake up from.”

That was the first time Renly had truly appreciated the grandeur and magnificence of the natural scenery, and since then, he has also opened the door to a whole new world.

“…Is that why you refused to return to the main house?” Philip asked again.

Renly opened his eyes, which was so abnormal.

Philip immediately realized that he had crossed the line, “Sorry, Master Renly.”

Renly closed his eyes again, and just when Philip thought Renly had fallen asleep again, he heard a low, deep answer, ” Hmm.”

Really feel the vastness and unobstructed nature of nature, and be able to really breathe the breath of freedom, which is unforgettable forever, a full release from the body to the spirit; return to the main house , the whole person can feel the ubiquitous sense of confinement, the invisible to tangible restraint is almost breathless.

Although he is a rebirth traverser, Renly has never really understood the so-called “freedom”, because in his last life, his life was imprisoned by countless rules and regulations. For him, the life of the Hall family was irrelevant Unfamiliar, even adaptable; his only thought was: to be an actor.

He was just rushing towards a goal with all his might.

He has his own perseverance, but he never really broke the frame. Those little tricks in the school are always just play and fun within the frame, not a special challenge; but in the process of growing up, But he got to know himself little by little, and opened himself up little by little. Facing the second life, he really began to reshape himself.

That was the first time he felt true freedom.

“Renly-Hall” wasn’t Renly-Hall in the first place.

Tuscany, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com That is a very distant memory.

Unexpectedly, it has been so long since Philip left London last time.

Just as Renly was about to ask, how did Philip feel when he went out for such a long time and crossed the entire Atlantic Ocean, is this the first time Philip has left the European continent?

Has the time difference been adjusted now?

Are there any special takeaways here?

New Orleans is clearly a perfect city for Philip, who has a personal preference for jazz, so how does he feel?

Inexplicably, Renly remembered the Titanic.

Philip was not from that era, but Philip’s father was from the Titanic’s era, when it was necessary to take a cruise ship to reach the other side of the ocean; but even in the era when airplanes were very convenient, Philip never arrived in the United States.

It’s really interesting, isn’t it?

As for why Philip came to New Orleans, does it matter?

Now there are more topics worth discussing.

Unexpectedly, Renly hadn’t figured out which question to ask first, but Philip was the first to speak, “Master Renly, I’m going to retire.”
