.,

Looking at the panic-stricken and earthy-faced Chris, Renly's smile crept up the corners of his mouth, and the scene where the famous "Captain America" ​​was so frightened was really rare; but the smile only paused for a moment, and then, Li turned her eyes away and answered truthfully, "Chris, it's my responsibility not to like you."

What's the meaning?

Chris feels that his brain really can't keep up with Renly's speed. What does it mean to... "I don't like you, it's my responsibility?" This sentence is not logical at all, right? Does Renly know what he's talking about? Or is this a quote from a Nicholas Sparks novel?

Chris stared at Renly with question marks all over his head. He could understand every word, but he couldn't understand all of them in combination. He began to wonder if he was drinking too much champagne, or whether Renly was drinking too much. champagne. So, should he ask? If he opens his mouth, what should he ask?

Looking at the ignorant Chris, Renly felt a little helpless and complained of powerlessness.

From a distance, Renly could see the gaze projected by Matthew, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, as if he could fully understand Renly's situation. Reese explained something.

In fact, there are many things and many situations, and Chris knows it very well. He is not an idiot. But the problem is that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, how can a fool who is in love see it clearly? Moreover, it was such a special case of the Hall family that common sense did not apply at all, and Chris lost his ability to think.

"Chris, what would you do if someone hurt your brother?" Renly asked—

Chris' younger brother Scott-evans has officially come out/closet, he will face prejudice and pressure from the whole society, different from Edith and Chris's situation, but also has many similarities Everywhere, potential damage is everywhere, just like landmines, all over the place.

Chris didn't hesitate for a second, as if he didn't need to think at all, the words blurted out, "I support all his decisions! I will protect him at all costs!"

After speaking, Chris was stunned for a while, as if he didn't quite understand the reason why Renly asked such a question, but after just a moment, he suddenly realized, "Oh... oh!"

All the confusion and incomprehension, like opening up the two veins of Ren and Du, instantly became a matter of course. All the past experiences came to my mind.

When Chris looked at Renly again, the confusion in his eyes couldn't be sorted out for a while, so he could only obey his own instincts and said, "Renly, please rest assured..."

Chris was about to express his intentions to Renly, but Renly interrupted Chris's words first, "Save a little saliva, actions are always more effective than words."

After speaking, Renly turned to look at Chris, a look, just a look was enough to let Chris understand what Renly meant; then, Renly turned and walked in the direction of Matthew , Leaving Chris standing there, thinking about it, he couldn't help but be fascinated.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

Rooney, who made her debut in the Hall family, was like a duck to water, calm, easy, not jerky at all, graceful and confident, and easily became the center of social situations, even Edith and Arthur couldn't be too picky. More; but Chris is still ignorant, as if he was the first person to attend such a banquet—

But there is no problem in saying this, because this is the first time that Renly has held a formal banquet. The atmosphere and environment are of high standard, high treatment and high level. It is not comparable to Hollywood at all. Chris's nervousness is completely understandable.

To be sure, Chris's road to adjustment at the Halls is still long and arduous, and Renly doesn't know if Edith has plans to take Chris to meet George and Elizabeth.

Because Renly couldn't be sure, what place George and Elizabeth were in Edith's mind - just like Arthur, in fact, Arthur still kept in touch with his parents, the relationship between each child and his parents They are all different, Renly is Renly, Arthur and Edith are also independent individuals, they will not interfere with each other; but if Edith is going to let Chris visit his parents, then Chris still needs to exercise.

The dinner officially started at 9:30.

Everyone was seated at the long table of the formal banquet. Under the leadership of Philip, the waiters walked into the restaurant with silver plates, and uniform figures filed in, all standing behind the guests, and then at the same time. Step up, put the dinner plate in front of the guests, and lift the lid together.

The well-trained service attitude of advancing and retreating invisibly showed the unique treatment of the real noble class, so that everyone could not help but become slightly cautious, and subconsciously showed their best etiquette, trying to completely fit the atmosphere of the scene. , is indeed an extraordinary experience.

Meadows said bluntly, "I only have a sense of reality now." Hereditary nobles, from intangible to tangible, Renly Hall's profound heritage is only now revealed in a corner.

From the rules to the etiquette to the menu, Philip really dedicated a noble dinner; but compared to the real noble dinner, Renly relaxed a little bit, after all, this is no longer Bayswater but the Prince's Garden, they Some things can be continued, but some things should be changed.

It also made the whole dinner feel warm and cozy.

many.

"Ding ding ding."

Someone knocked on the wine glass, and the crisp sound attracted everyone's attention. This is the only way on the long banquet table to not make noise but still be able to focus. Obviously, at this moment, someone should be ready to give a speech, but The place where the eyes gather is not the master Ren Li tonight, but...

Edith Hall.

Edith stood up slightly cautiously, held up her champagne glass, and bathed in everyone's sight, which made her a little uneasy, but she still said, "Hey! Hello everyone." Edith ruthlessly She glared at Renly, only to see Renly's schadenfreude smile, which made Edith's teeth itch with hatred, but this was obviously not the best time to turn the table, so she could only force herself to look away. .

"As we all know, Renly is an impeccably perfect speaker and no one can steal his lightning. But this Romeo seemed reluctant to take too much of the limelight tonight, so he entrusted the task to me. Because I lost the bet, Arthur and Renly just looked at me and stood up like puppets, awkwardly not knowing what to say. The lesson is never gamble with your brother ."

Ha ha!

Everyone burst into laughter, Renly and Arthur even gave applause, it was very lively; Rooney raised the champagne glass and gestured to Edith, cheering for Edith, which made Yidi Di Si's mood calmed down a little, and the chaotic thoughts were reorganized.

"Christmas has never really meant anything to me. First, I don't go to church; second, I can't remember what time of year it was when both my father and mother showed up, only Renly and occasionally Arthur, and trust me, you wouldn't want a Christmas like this."

Edith's thoughts were a little confused, but she gradually settled down and focused, and the words from her heart flowed out unconsciously.

She thought it would be very difficult - it was indeed very difficult, but the scene she imagined would be even more severe, and now... not so terrible.

"The last meaning of Christmas seems to have been shattered since I found out that my Christmas present was not from Santa Claus, but from Philip and Denise. I never had a chance to really understand what Christmas means, believe me , when your father chooses to go to the club on Christmas Eve to smoke a cigar and your mother is drinking alone in the room, Christmas is not as beautiful as you think. I always wonder: why would anyone celebrate the death of a stranger And what about resurrection? The premise is, if the legend is real."

"Until tonight."

"When I'm in White Christmas again, when I see Philip again, when I'm holding a champagne glass again and complaining that my bespoke maxi dress doesn't seem to fit... I finally understand, I should say, I finally found Now, for the first time in my life, I have found the meaning of Christmas. What I didn't find in Bayswater, is now in the Prince's Garden."

Edith's voice was slightly nasal, but she still raised her champagne glass and mustered the courage to continue.

"Look at what you have around you, then close your eyes and imagine the other things you have. Anyway, when we open our eyes, we can't see the things that are really worth having. Now, come to your mind no matter how you find it, no matter how long it lasts...the best, the brightest, the warmest, will eventually go out, it's a law of nature, you can't control it, but at least you Now have them. It has meaning."

Rooney stretched out her left hand and grabbed Renly's right hand under the table. She could sense that Renly's fingertips were slightly cold, and she wrapped her palm around Renly's palm, tightly, just like that. Hold tightly and let your warmth pass through little by little.

"This is the miracle that belongs to us. Every Christmas, its existence always reminds us not to forget what we have, because only by remembering this can we let go of our hands and feet to chase more Big dreams. Miracles, happening every day."

Edith raised her champagne glass and turned to look at her brother, "Arthur, Renly, thank you for being by my side this Christmas. Let's pay tribute to the miracle together."

Renly folded his right hand, held the warmth tightly, refused to let go, then raised the champagne glass with his left hand, and gave Edith a big smile, "Salute to Edith Hall."
