Renly looked at the girl in front of him, his pupils shrunk slightly, then he took out his mobile phone, pointed at the girl's figure and pressed the shutter button with a "click".

The girl obviously did not expect such a move from Renly, which disrupted all her plans at once, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Hey, are you crazy?" She charged towards Renly with big strides. That wolf-like stance had a terrifying aura, but Ren Li was not worried at all, he raised his right hand high, and his height advantage immediately made him invincible.

The girl's height was no longer than Renly's chest, and looking at the unreachable distance, she wisely chose to give up, stopped in front of Renly, rolled her eyes, and said nothing, "So, This is how you welcomed me? How long has it been since we met... Christmas the year before?"

"I should ask you this." Renly was unmoved, "From the tone of your voice, you obviously knew that I would appear today, but you didn't give me a call in advance? "

This rhetorical question made the girl stunned for a while, and she waved her hand helplessly, "You don't need to show your intelligence in front of me."

Renly shrugged, he didn't buy it at all, the guy in front of him was not a little white flower who was bullied by others, "I'm just leaving evidence for emergencies."

"Hey!" The girl raised her voice complainingly, but glanced at Renly, she didn't say the rebuttal words after all, "Otherwise, you will delete the previous picture, I will design the light and angle, and take another picture. ? I don't trust your photography skills, it's just entry level."

Looking at the girl's disgusting face, Renly didn't argue. In fact, she was indeed his photographer, "There's no need for that. Anyway, no one who might see this photo will appreciate you. photographic techniques.”

The girl pouted and looked noncommittal, she knew that Renly was telling the truth.

"Tell me, why did you appear here, and you still walked out of the media room, which means that today's interview team includes you." It was just a face-to-face, and the clues were pieced together, and Renly speculated that "But really, aren't you supposed to be working for the United Nations in Sudan now? At least that's what George and Elizabeth believe."

Standing in front of Renly was his sister, his biological second sister, Edith-Hall. She was born in art and has outstanding talent, but when she grew up, she gave up art and became interested in photography and became a professional photographer.

To a certain extent, photography is a product of art relying on modern technology; in addition, she is a woman. In the traditional concept of aristocratic families, a woman can choose her own hobbies and hobbies, and choose a suitable husband in the future. enough. Just like Elizabeth has her own gallery, although the traditional British aristocracy still has many constraints on women, it has made great progress.

The smartest thing about Edith is that she chose the United Nations as a partner, and as an official hired photographer, she travels around the world to complete shoots for charity. Such conduct, even among the British aristocracy, was highly praised. Therefore, the family did not object too much to Edith's choice.

Last month, Sudan ended its seven-year civil war. Since then, the Republic of Sudan has been officially established. The United Nations peace force is still handling follow-up matters in Sudan. Logically, Edith should be in Sudan now, not Los Angeles.

Edith rolled her eyes, "God, I knew I shouldn't take this job." In fact, it was only after she took over the job that she realized that the actor in "War in the Pacific" was actually Renly. At that time It is too late to refuse.

But it's not Edith's style to directly surrender Grab it back?" She was fighting for her own chips—

Renly, this sly guy, the first reaction to meeting was to take pictures. Obviously, he foresaw the current situation and took the handle in his hand early. Edith couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly. Everyone thought Renly was a well-behaved gentleman. She was the only one who saw through the true face of this lovely little brother at home, and she really wiped away bitter tears.

"Crocodile tears don't work." Not to mention that Renly was reborn, and it wasn't so easy to fool, just that they had been together for twenty years, how could he have been deceived by Edith's trick? "George and Elizabeth have cut off all my financial resources, and they refused to call me half a year ago. So..." Renly shrugged, meaning: your threats are useless.

Edith opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Renly took a step ahead. "Arthur knew about the 'Pacific War', and he wrote an email to ridicule me." The TV actor, In the eyes of many nobles, it cannot even be called an "actor".

"Damn Arthur." Edith cursed, and that guy Arthur would only move his tongue, but he was not reliable at all in actual actions.

Edith took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit one quickly, put it in her mouth, and scratched her head in annoyance. Renly was not in a hurry, and stood beside him without making a sound, then took a step to the side and stepped aside, Edith noticed this little movement, her eyes widened, "Don't tell me, you tried to Let the hotel cameras catch me and hope they kick me out?"

Renly looked innocent, "Edith, you've been in Africa for a long time, do you suffer from persecution paranoia?" Well, it's really disappointing that the plot has been discovered.

Edith squinted her eyes and looked at Renly, then turned around and walked quickly towards the balcony at the end of the corridor. Without looking back, she knew that Renly would definitely follow. Sure enough, when she turned around on the balcony, she saw Renly standing under the cream-yellow light, and Edith put her hands on the railing, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Biquge

If Renly told the family about her situation, it was estimated that she would suffer for the next period of time; and considering that the family had ignored Renly for more than half a year, who knew whether they would spread their grievances on her. Edith knew that she had no room for rebuttal.

"You owe me a favor." Renly didn't jump into the trap in a hurry, but said calmly, "You'll be in charge of taking pictures for a while? You'd better not use me as a test subject." There are no unnecessary words, threatening The tone couldn't be clearer.

Edith breathed out a cigarette speechlessly, "You must know that everyone else is lining up to let me take a photo. This time, 'Vanity Fair' has been communicating with me for two months in order to invite me to take a photo."

Renly nodded his chin suddenly, "So, this isn't the first time you've photographed people for a magazine, does that mean you've never been to Sudan? Well... I should check out the past few months. Famous magazines have taken photos." Renly looked at Edith seriously, "Is it the fashion magazine kind?"

Edith bit the cigarette holder fiercely, this time she was miscalculated and took advantage of the opportunity, but she still fell in front of Renly. "Isn't it that I used you as an experiment in junior high school and learned a bit, but it's just a trivial matter, and it takes so long to hold grudges." Edith mumbled, but Renly couldn't help but lightly raised his eyebrows - let him lie flat On a bench, relying only on the waist support, perform the flexible posture of landing at a high altitude, one shot is two hours, is this a trivial matter? Or let him stand in the fountain in the shape of Popeye in the cold winter, and toss all afternoon, is this a trivial matter

Seeing the light in Renly's eyes, Edith immediately closed it, "Deal!" Originally, she was thinking, during the photo shoot today, let Renly challenge the difficult one. Yesterday, she fantasized about a few different sets at home. I was so happy that I almost laughed out loud, but now it's all gone!

Renly nodded in agreement, and Edith took a hard puff of her cigarette to express her dissatisfaction. However, there was no more arguing. Although Renly was full of bad water, he definitely did what he said, and she didn't have to worry about it. "Do you really plan to continue on the path of being an actor? You are a smart person, and you should know how unreliable this path is."

"Then what do you suggest?" Renly said half-jokingly.

Edith thought about it seriously, she and Renly were the same kind of people, rebellious in their bones, and had always been trying to break free from the shackles and oppression of the traditional British aristocracy.

In fact, she admires Renly. From choosing a major at Cambridge University, to taking a leave of absence to go to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, to preparing enough funds, and running to New York in one go, the whole process is step by step, without turning back, resisting the huge pressure from home, He really started his career as an actor. Deep down, she hoped that Renly would be successful, and then maybe she could really get rid of the shackles of the "female" hat.

"Becoming a better actor." Edith replied, which made Renly smile, "This time, I heard from the editor of 'Vanity Fair', you should be the absolute core protagonist, and the focus should be on you Spielberg also seems to be looking at you differently, tell me, what the hell did you do?" Edith put out the cigarette, and walked back to the direction of the room with Renly, "Spielberg doesn't treat men like that. Interested, how did you buy him

Renly ignored Edith's stern way of talking nonsense—if he had taken it seriously, he would have been reincarnated. "Can't you think of any other reason?"

"I can't think of it." Edith answered confidently.

Renly glanced at Edith speechlessly, "Then you can ask for yourself, the editor or Steven."

"They will definitely tell me that it's because of your strength. Haha, idiots will believe it." After Edith finished speaking, she clapped her hands and laughed, apparently secretly taking revenge for the forced transaction just now.

Renly shrugged lightly, "As far as I know, someone is an idiot." After speaking, Renly pushed open the door of the room, picked up his suitcase, and walked in, with Edith behind. Biting her lower lip depressedly, "Renly Hall!" But the wooden door that slowly closed was greeted by her.

Ya Ya, Ya Ya, that swaying sound really makes people smoke!
