The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2356

[2319 Future Livelihoods]

Edith sat in the back seat with her hands folded on her chest, her eyes shifting back and forth between Renly and Paul, but she couldn’t hold back, “Paul, be honest, why didn’t you stop Renly? Are you threatened with your life? I think you can be honest with me.”

Paul, who was driving, glanced at the rear-view mirror, and his eyes moved back and forth between Renly and Edith, showing embarrassment. look.

In the end, Renly rescued the honest Paul. “If Paul is really threatened, then the threat effect is still there. So, do you think he can tell the truth?”

Edith blinked, always Feeling that there was something in Renly’s words, she immediately reacted, and she immediately turned to look at Renly who was sitting side by side, “Wait, are you complaining about my IQ?”

Renly was noncommittal.

Edith rolled her eyes and said in a self-voicing way, “Yes, yes, after staying on the battlefield for a long time, my brain is not very good, and my head is just a piece of paste, and now even the most basic” I can’t even see the Renly-style attack, what a fool I am.”

The thick sarcasm overflowed from the lines, with a reckless hostility.

Renly and Paul’s eyes met and collided through the rear-view mirror, and Paul’s panic could be clearly detected, and he didn’t know what to do; but even Renly, he couldn’t make an accurate judgment-because Edith Having just returned from the front line, he could not determine her condition.

What if… what if Edith was really suffering from something similar to PTSD?

There was also a hint of concern in Renly’s eyes.

Edith, who became the center of attention, opened the window slowly, lit a cigarette, and said unhurriedly, “So this is the pleasure/sense of a prank? Now I finally understand the feelings of those paparazzi, and I can catch it. The ‘unique’ Renly Hall, very fulfilling indeed.”

“…” Silence.

Paul could notice the helplessness in Renly’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but his reaction speed was a little slower, and he looked at Edith again, “Wait, were you pretending just now? ?”

Edith pursed her lips and took a strong puff of her cigarette, “Paul, you are really an angel.”

“…” Paul blinked, “Oh, Edith!”

At this moment, Edith She

finally showed a smile and

shrugged her shoulders high, “Why, you are allowed to play pranks, but you won’t be allowed to fight back?” Edith also felt some guilt for cheating on Paul, “Paul, you should think about it, if Not now, what chance do I have to see Renly’s panicked look?”

Thinking of this, Edith giggled, “You should really see Renly’s expression just now. Arthur knows, he should I’ll be mad with jealousy.”

Paul was stunned, and finally laughed helplessly, but his eyes were still projected towards

Renly worriedly, “Renly?”

Influence, to be honest, he was still a little happy:

Edith was able to play pranks, and she didn’t forget to fight back in unexpected situations, which was a good thing, much better than the last time she returned.

Although it is still uncertain what Edith’s state is, at least this is a positive sign.

However, Renly is Renly after all. Faced with such a situation, he also has his own way of dealing with it, “This is the window period after she returns to the Ivory Tower. It’s not big, but it exists objectively. I think she will take advantage of the opportunity. ”

This… There were so many bright spots in the words that Edith didn’t know how to complain, and finally she simply looked at Paul, “Paul, I’m 100% sure, this is a guy next to me. Demon, how on earth did you become friends with him?”

Paul said honestly, “Renly is also an angel, who can refuse him?”

Edith said: Well, I surrender, this is the wrong question.

Edith put the cigarette out of the window, lightly lit the ash, and the sparsely drifted away in the wind, she turned her face to Renly, “Although your character is not very good, the friends you have made are very good. .”

“I agree with this.” Renly nodded solemnly and affirmed, “How, are you sure it doesn’t matter?” There was

no beginning or end, but Edith understood the meaning of it:

just now Jokes aside, but Renly is still worried about Edith’s condition, and Edith needs to really let Renly know about her condition, especially since she’s about to go to the Oscars.

From the front line of the brutal battlefield, where artillery fires, hungry, and corpses everywhere, to the scene of social occasions where flowers are splendid, clothes are fragrant and temples are intertwined, such a huge gap is a violent shock to anyone, and the mentality is violent. Change is inevitable, and it may even breed negative dark emotions that start to distort little by little.

With that in mind, Renly began to wonder if he had come up with a bad proposal.

Edith didn’t answer immediately, but took a deep breath of the cigarette. The lingering smoke was blown away by the strong wind before it could spread in the carriage, leaving only a faint smell of tobacco, and then her ears couldn’t help it. The sound of gunfire and artillery fire was heard again, and that was part of life.

“I’m not sure what’s going to happen, I…” Edith hesitated for a moment. “Sometimes, I feel like I don’t know myself, and I start to doubt. I guess…I still need help. But sometimes, I Then I thought, if there are doctors and family members who can help me, then who can help those children and those innocent villagers?” Before the words fell, Edith showed a wry smile and complained to herself, “I know, It really sounds like a savior, trying to save the world beyond his own power, but seeing those scenes, I really can’t control it.”

There was no other sound in the car, and Renly and Paul both listened quietly.

“Sorry, Paul.” Edith couldn’t be sure whether she was in the right state, but she was still a little uneasy when she showed herself in front of Paul, and she couldn’t be sure whether Paul would mind.

“Don’t mind me,” Paul replied repeatedly.

Edith took a puff of cigarette again, “Those words of yours, in fact, I have been thinking over and over there, how many people can I help by relying on my strength alone? If I was just an ordinary photojournalist, then my lens is my weapon; but obviously I have a more powerful weapon that can do more damage and help more people, and maybe I should really consider upgrading.”

“So…I I don’t know what will happen next, but I do know that I want to be able to help them, just like you helped me.” Edith’s words still revealed a trace of uncertainty – the change from the battlefield to Oscar is really too much overly noticeable and disturbing.

But her eyes were not afraid at all, and her bright and determined eyes were directed to Renly, “I hope I can help.” After a

short pause, Edith’s smile rose again, “What’s more, even if not as Renly ‘s sister, but as Chris’s girlfriend, I should not be able to escape the paparazzi’s inquiries and pursuits. So, I am looking forward to being Edith Hall, a photojournalist, and I am also trying to use my own Power changes the world.”

Renly didn’t say a word, but just stared at Edith, expressing his support with his eyes.

Having said this, Edith immediately changed the conversation, “I am more curious now whether Chris is so low-key that the paparazzi have not disturbed my life.

” .

Renly didn’t joke or complain, but nodded earnestly and nodded in agreement, “I also think you should worry about your future livelihood.” The

subtext is… Worried about Chris losing his job?

Edith’s head was full of black lines, “Renly!”

Renly didn’t say a word, shrugged slightly, and responded with silence: I’m speaking the truth, and no matter how much you protest, it won’t change that.

Edith was gulping down her cigarette and deliberately smashing her mouth, making a very rude noise to express her protest.

The childishness that leaked out inadvertently, even Paul can clearly feel that Edith’s state is much better this time. I don’t know if she has determined the direction and goal, and understands the direction of her future efforts, which is troubled like a nightmare. Edith’s confusion and pain were relieved.

Paul also took the initiative to intervene in the conversation, “Does Chris know that you are going to attend the Oscars?”

“Yes, I told him.” Edith replied of course, “He will be at the ceremony as the guest of honor, and he will also tell me. An invitation has been issued.”

The “Captain America 2” in the summer season, although the box office did not break Marvel’s own record, the reputation was very good, which also won a lot of praise for Chris Evans.

The Oscars have been trying to tap into the younger audience, and inviting Chris to the ceremony was a natural fit.

“But you refused?” Paul was surprised.

Edith nodded and gave an affirmative answer without any hesitation, “Of course. He is just a friend to be determined, and Renly is a confirmed family member. How could I choose him?”

Paul immediately looked at him .

To Renly: Isn’t that what Renly just said?

Unexpectedly, Renly didn’t buy it at all, “You’re trying to please me because I’m right next to you, right? I don’t know who it is, every time my boyfriend wanders around me, she acts like an old hen protecting the chicken. , stalking around in a full-fledged manner. I’m afraid that if a little accident comes out, my boyfriend may bump into it, and people who don’t know think it’s a crystal Barbie doll.”

“Hey! Who the hell are you talking about is the old hen? ?” Edith protested in a righteous and stern manner, propping up her upper body fully, trying to use “physical confrontation” to show her advantages.

Renly is noncommittal: whoever says yes is who.

Paul, sitting in the driver’s seat, watched all this silently through the rearview mirror, and the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but rise slightly.
