In a daze, Julia seemed to hear a voice coming from the living room. She turned over with her pillow in her arms, trying to continue to sleep, but after turning over, the voice seemed to be clearer again. Reluctantly opened his eyes, the curtains shone with a subtle light, turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the watch adjusted to the local time in Venice, it was past five o'clock in the morning.
Throwing off the blanket and getting out of bed, the girl put on slippers and grabbed her hair and went to the living room to see the situation clearly.
The lights in the living room were not turned on, and the curtains leading to the balcony were drawn tightly. Only the TV flickered and made a slight sound.
Elizabeth was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, holding a bag of potato chips in her hand, staring at the TV intently. Mice that come out to steal food in the middle of the night.
"Liz, what's the matter with you, you wake up so early." Julia walked to Elizabeth and sat down, pulling a blanket over the sofa to wrap her body.
Elizabeth swallowed the snack in her mouth, and said in a low voice: "I... didn't sleep at all, I have insomnia."
Julia leaned against Elizabeth, and asked inexplicably: "Insomnia, why?" After saying this, Julia suddenly remembered: "No ¤∞, it's... because I said last night Those words, I was just joking, do you take it seriously?"
Elizabeth hesitated a few times before leaning into Julia's ear and asking, "Julia, tell me, has that bastard been secretly seducing me?"
When Julia heard Elizabeth's words, she blinked her eyes quickly a few times, and then burst out laughing.
"Liz. You've been up all night. Thinking about... these things?"
In the dark, Elizabeth's face was flushed by Julia's laughter. Scratching the girl a few times in dissatisfaction, he said, "How can you do this? I'm asking you this question very seriously."
After Julia laughed, she was about to start a conversation, but seeing Elizabeth's expression, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up again.
"Hey, hey, I... I'm angry!" Elizabeth made a gesture to jump up, and Julia hurriedly held the girl down. Shaking his head, he said, "Impossible, you don't know that guy at all."
Seeing that Julia stopped smiling, Elizabeth stabilized her figure. When she heard Julia's answer, she asked dissatisfiedly, "Do you understand?"
"I don't know much about him either," Julia shook her head, but immediately said, "But I do know one thing."
"Huh?" Elizabeth held Julia's arm: "Say it quickly, don't keep it a secret."
Julia stared at Elizabeth's delicate face against the blond hair. Although she hadn't slept all night, there was no sense of fatigue on that young face in her early twenties.
"When it comes to women, he has always been very domineering. If he wants a woman, he doesn't bother to use any seduction methods. He is more likely to drag you into the room and press you directly on the bed." The girl said, involuntarily I couldn't help but think of that night when I was played by that domineering guy, and I felt a little hot in my heart for some reason.
Elizabeth opened her mouth slightly, and then said, "He definitely wouldn't dare to treat me like this, or my father would definitely not let him go."
"Perhaps," whispered Julia in the gloom.
But in her heart, Julia was a little disapproving of Elizabeth's self-confidence. With Eric's current wealth and status, if he really got this little girl to bed, maybe old Murdoch would still like it. For News Corporation, which is still in the development stage in the TV and film circles, Eric is a perfect marriage partner.
Elizabeth did not hear the peculiar smell in Julia's voice, and said again: "So, he is not interested in me, right?"
"Of course," Julia nodded with a smile.
Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had finally let go of what she had been struggling with all night, but after a while, the girl suddenly muttered dissatisfiedly: "How can he not be interested in me, isn't this girl not beautiful enough?"
"Hahaha..." Julia suddenly laughed again.
Elizabeth also immediately realized her mistake in words. Seeing Julia who was laughing beside her, she stretched out her little hand and grabbed the girl in anger.
"Oh, don't, don't scratch," Julia quickly begged for mercy, took a few deep breaths, and said, "I suddenly remembered what that guy once said to me." Before Elizabeth could respond, Julia automatically Gu Zi continued: "He said that a woman is a very troublesome creature. When you approach her, she will sneer at you and make rude remarks. When you stay away from her, she will complain about you. This sentence is used to describe you. So apt, hehe."
Seeing Elizabeth's appearance of wanting to go crazy again, Julia quickly stopped the girl's actions: "Okay, stop, Liz, you'd better sleep for a while before it's dawn, or you'll be mad all day long." Listless, uh... I'm going to bed."
Elizabeth immediately grabbed Julia who wanted to get up: "No, you can't leave me alone."
Pulled by Elizabeth, Julia sat back on the sofa again, and said helplessly, "Then what exactly do you want?"
"How about we go out for a run, anyway, it's already dawn outside?"
Julia immediately shook her head: "It's too early, there are not many people on the road, who knows how the security here is, Italy is the birthplace of the mafia, maybe you will have sacks when you run around Come here, the next thing will be miserable."
Although Julia was mostly joking, Elizabeth, who thought of certain scenes, was still frightened: "Then... watch TV, I can't sleep anyway." Ya hand.
"Okay, okay, you look like a child."
Julia took the remote control with a helpless face. At this time, an Italian soap opera was playing on the TV. Julia couldn't understand, so she pressed the button to change the channel.
After changing several times in a row, finally, a burst of cheerful canned laughter came, and Julia temporarily stopped changing channels.
After listening to a few lines of dialogue, Elizabeth immediately said, "Is it my TV station, or a sitcom, that's all, you understand."
Julia also recognized the Fox TV logo, so she put down the remote control.
On the TV screen is a coffee shop, and several protagonists are discussing a problem that the wife of a male protagonist named Rose has become lesbian for some reason. After a few witty lines, Julia and Elizabeth were attracted by the plot, and then the heroine named Phoebe grabbed bad luck from the head of Ross with a bad face, which made the two girls amused haha laughing out loud.
"Really, it's so funny, why didn't I know there was another sitcom?" Elizabeth said, patting her thigh.
Julia was also laughing, but she quickly realized that it was time to come, and said: "It should be the prime time at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. This should be a new TV series. Otherwise, we must be sure about such an interesting sitcom." heard about it."
Elizabeth nodded in agreement: "Well, write down the name later, I will keep following it in the future."
While the two were talking, Ross on TV said to his younger sister Monica: "I don't want to be single, I just want to get married again." As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps, and the door of the coffee shop was pushed open Then, a wet bride in a wedding dress broke in, and everyone looked between Rose and the bride in surprise.
Immediately, Chandler waved his hands expectantly towards the door and said loudly, "I only want one million dollars!"
This time, the 'wish' of course did not come true, and Chandler waved his hands a few times, sticking out his tongue embarrassingly.
"Hahaha, it's really... so funny," Elizabeth on the sofa saw this scene, almost bent down laughing, raised her head again, and inadvertently glanced at Julia next to her, but saw the girl's stunned look. appearance.
"Hey, Julia, what's wrong with you?" Elizabeth stretched out her finger and poked Julia's waist.
Julia pointed to the TV screen: "Look, that... the bride in the wedding dress is Jennifer Aniston."
Elizabeth didn't react much, she looked at Julia's fingers, and nodded: "A very beautiful girl, what's wrong?"
"You... haven't you remembered, Liz?" Julia continued: "Jennifer Aniston, she is that guy's girlfriend, that is to say, this TV series is the one that has been in the media some time ago. Propaganda, the one he directed himself."
Elizabeth suddenly opened her mouth slightly, recalling several shots in "Dark War", and there was indeed a scene that matched the coffee shop in the picture: ""Friends"?"
Julia nodded slightly. She was still very concerned about Eric's news. Therefore, when Eric's TV series started to be promoted, she knew his name.
Elizabeth and Julia looked at each other in dismay, and then pouted their mouths in dissatisfaction: "Why is there him everywhere!"
Julia also pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, and recalled: "It seems... It seems that today is indeed the premiere day of "Friends."
Because of certain emotions in the hearts of the two girls, although they grinned with laughter from time to time, they did not laugh like they did at the beginning, but their eyes never left the TV screen. When they were together, neither of them walked away.
Elizabeth didn't speak out again until the end of the second episode, when Aniston's Rachel called her bridesmaids to 'wish' her ex-fiancé's child would have the ugly rosacea and baldness of its parents. : "This girl is so cheap, I don't like it." (To be continued...)
