Jennifer stood at the door of the ward, watching what happened inside with some curiosity and some hesitation. Unexpectedly, it took less than a minute before and after Renly entered, and she turned and came out.
Jennifer couldn't help but give way and let the passage at the door open. Renly walked out, and the two exchanged their eyes, but nodded politely, and then Jennifer looked into the ward again, and she was a little worried about Heather.
In the ward, the cold whiteness revealed a shuddering coldness. Heather sat motionless and stared at the kite blankly. The sparse halo outlined her tense muscles, but there was a sense of weakness. The sense of uncontrollable anger and nihilism dripped down faintly, as if time had stopped on her thin shoulders, forgetting to move on.
Compared with the vent and roar just now, such Heather is even more distressing.
At this moment, Heather's right hand was raised hesitantly and stretched out in the direction of the kite, as if he wanted to reach out to touch it, but stopped because of the fear in his heart, the fingers that were stiff in the air. Pale and slender, trembling gently, revealing her powerlessness and struggle.
Jennifer felt a little sore in her nose, lowered her head in embarrassment, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and raised her steps to enter the ward, but the man beside her took a step forward, blocking the way of the door, and shook it gently. Shaking his head, the silent refusal had an irresistible aura.
This made Jennifer puzzled and angry. He opened his mouth to argue, but he shook his head again, didn't say anything, but looked up into the ward. Jennifer involuntarily followed his line of sight, looked over together, and then saw Heather's right hand let down weakly, her shoulders drooping, and a wave of sadness swept over.
But just when Jennifer thought that Heather would collapse, Heather straightened her back again, sat quietly, and her eyes fell on the butterfly kite again. He didn't get out of bed to touch, but he didn't lie down again, just kept that sitting position quietly. Although there was not much change, Jennifer could feel that Heather's irritable and raging emotions were slowly calming down.
So amazing.
"What's going on?" Jennifer was puzzled. She raised her head and wanted to ask Renly, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Heather's turning back. On, try to leave the glass window of the ward door as much as possible, and do not reveal your whereabouts.
The heart was beating so fast that Jennifer felt suffocated at such a moment. Turning his head, then Jennifer saw Renly on the other side, no different from her, sticking to the wall like a gecko, with a face full of panic, it was really indescribably funny, which made Jennifer snort. She laughed out loud—she realized that this was not enough, so she bit her lower lip tightly and controlled her laughter.
The two of them remained in this position for a while, and then Jennifer noticed that Renly stood up with a calm expression, Jennifer was stunned for a while, and immediately reacted-they had already avoided the room There is no need for the glass of the door to stick to the wall, and there is no need to squat down. This is not a spy movie, and there are no ubiquitous camera monitors around.
After realizing this, Jennifer also stood up slowly, brushing the drooping strands of hair behind her ears to hide her embarrassment. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ren Li step away and leave the ward, and she quickly followed, and after a few big strides caught up with Ren Li, she couldn't wait to ask, "What did you do just now? What the hell is going on? Is Heather really okay?"
Renly stopped, Jennifer didn't brake for a while, she actually walked over, she also stopped, turned around and stood face to face with Renly, but did not take the initiative to approach, maintaining the two steps between the two far interval.
"I don't know." Renly replied, and Jennifer's head full of question marks became more and more puzzled. "What?"
Renly shrugged and repeated, "I said, I don't know." Then he continued, "I don't know if Heather has anything to do with it, I don't know what Heather is thinking, I just I'm trying to treat her as a friend. If my friend suddenly leaves for half a year, and there is no way to party and party with me, I will also be disappointed, even angry, and the friendship will gradually disappear; if I I have a headache, a fever, and a cold, and I want someone to take care of me, but I hope he doesn't make too much noise, because my head hurts enough and I don't need more noise."
Jennifer wanted to open her mouth to defend herself at first, but gradually, her shoulders drooped down, and the full of momentum calmed down. Not because of how correct Renly's words were, but because of the core message of Renly's: what Heather needs is not mercy, not help, not inspiration, but a friend.
Recalling her actions just now, Jennifer realized that maybe she was in a hurry. "Sorry." Jennifer sighed angrily, "I just..." After thinking about it, Jennifer couldn't find the right words, which made her a little bit Frustrated, "I just want to help."
"Me too." Renly's tone remained calm. "We are all friends of Heather. I think there are different types of friends, like me and you. Only in this way can life be colorful."
"Are you enlightening me? Or are you sarcastic?" Jennifer knew that she still had a lot to learn about getting along with Heather in the future. Hearing Renly's words, the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Renly raised his hands in surrender. "People always choose what they want to hear."
There is a strong irony in the words, but it is not sharp, on the contrary, there is a touch of warmth. Jennifer bit her lower lip, smiled and nodded in approval. Raising her head again, Jennifer met Renly's eyes gracefully, "I think I owe you an apology for the last incident at Los Angeles Airport."
"No, it's me who should apologize." Renly also took the initiative to apologize. In a public space like the airport, he shouldn't wear earplugs.
"Heh." Jennifer chuckled softly. She didn't expect Renly to respond like this. Thinking about it carefully, this was the case both times. It started with a misunderstanding and ended in embarrassment, "We'd better not continue to apologize, otherwise people will think I stole your girlfriend."
This interpretation made Renly laugh cheerfully, and gently retracted his chin, "This is a reasonable explanation."
Jennifer's mood also relaxed, "But one thing, my personality is too impatient and always rampant. For this, I must improve. So, I do owe you an apology."
"I thought we were done with this." Renly's smile made Jennifer pause for a moment, think about it, and ask, "Did someone say that? You don't look British."
Renly widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Is this... a good thing? Or a bad thing?"
Jennifer realized the mistake of her expression, and waved her hands again and again, "Look at me, I'm speaking out again. I mean, your words, your tone, it looks like you came out of Cambridge or Oxford. That kind of person, but your smile..." Seeing Renly's deepening smile, Jennifer rolled her eyes reluctantly, feeling a little confused about herself, "Okay, my personality is obviously going crazy again, Just pretend you didn't hear it."
Brits don't really like to laugh, they even refuse to talk on the subway, the smiles on their lips are alien and cold, and the sense of distance between people is very obvious, especially in London; but Renly's smile is not Like... like a child, Jennifer remembered the scene of Renly flying kites with the kids downstairs just now, which really wasn't British.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Renly said with a chuckle, and Jennifer laughed heartily, "So was this a flirt?" After speaking, Jennifer herself was entertained and laughed brightly. When she got up, the laughter echoed softly in the corridor, and she immediately realized her rudeness and quickly covered her mouth.
Renly spread his hands with a smile and raised his eyebrows slightly, "If it's flirting, then both of us have done a terrible job."
Jennifer nodded in approval, with a look of disgust, and then she politely extended her right hand, "I think we missed an important link. The gentleman we met for the second time, I'm Jennifer Lawrence."
Renly really forgot about this part, because he knew each other for granted, but he still stretched out his right hand, "Second meeting... lady?" Renly's slightly upward questioning tone made Jennifer wrinkle her nose, saying: Protest, "I'm Renly Hall."
Then, the two people's right hands shook friendly in the air, instantly shortening the distance between the two people, appearing formal and solemn, and shaking it slightly.

"I have something to do in a while, so I won't stay here for long today. See you next time." After saying goodbye, Renly bowed politely, then bypassed Jennifer and walked towards the elevator.
Jennifer turned around and waved friendly at Renly's back, "Goodbye."
After Renly took a few steps, he stopped again. Annie sat on the small orange bench again with an unhappy expression on her face. It was obvious that today's task was still unfinished. Renly touched Annie's little head and whispered a few words, and then saw Annie's chubby face. Completely wrinkled, he grimaced at Ren Li, but a smile appeared in his eyes, which made Ren Li laugh out loud.
Immediately afterwards, Renly stood up, walked to the elevator, greeted the nurses at the nurse station, and quickly disappeared in the elevator.
Jennifer also turned around, walked in the other direction, and threw herself into her volunteer work again. The afternoon was far from over.
