"It's hard to put it into words." Ye Wei said while driving.
After daylight saving time ended, the sun set before 5 pm in Los Angeles. Ye Wei picked up Lily at her home after get off work at 6 pm and went to have dinner with her at the one-pico restaurant on the beach in Santa Monica. It was already nightfall. This was their first date in three days after the early morning of the 5th.
The development of events in the past few days was within their expectations, but not in their imagination.
Together, they imagined that the whole world would applaud and bless them, but that didn't happen; they also imagined that the whole world would know it and ignore it, but that also didn't happen; they also thought that no matter what happened, they would be able to deal with it calmly. He smiled, but that didn't happen either.
Ye Wei looked at the bustling night road in front of him and saw several paparazzi cars following him from the rearview mirror. He said to Lily, who was in the passenger seat: "You know I was really excited and happy at first." Lily nodded, and he started Everything is said with laughter.
"Every report and sound from the outside world is good. I laugh when I see it." Ye Wei laughed, "There is an uncontrollable joy. I laugh at those who bless us and laugh at those who scold us. It's just too I'm happy." Lily smiled when she heard this, "I think that's why I'm so proud."
"Yeah, and then it's like I don't know if you feel this way, just like the ending of "The Graduate". When the excitement passes, it quickly becomes dull. Likewtf? This doesn't seem to be what I want, But if you don't, it won't work. One day, it will be really frustrating." Ye Wei's tone became lower.
Lily nodded, then shook her head no, "A little bit, I told you a long time ago, I know what will happen."
He turned to look at her. She was a little angry, as if to say, "Look now, do you understand that I had good intentions before?"
"Being a star means you have to bear this." Ye Wei shrugged. In fact, in terms of private life, he never cared much about the outside world. If he cared about it, he wouldn't be able to survive that day. Just live your own life naturally, and firmly refute the fake ones. Whatever it is really is. As time goes by, you will almost be yourself. This attitude towards life is okay.
But when it comes to Lily, he just can't be that free and easy or rational. He said angrily: "I want to beat up all those bad guys, or at least scold them. I almost scolded them yesterday, but I don't want to make things worse."
"Don't listen to their gossip, what do they know?" Lily sang proudly, smiling with her mouth wide open, her eyes full of ridicule.
"I really can't stand it when they don't understand but are making irresponsible remarks." Ye Wei shook his head repeatedly, "Things are not as interesting as I thought. I just want to calm down now. We are just a couple, there is nothing to pay attention to. Yes." He looked at her smiling face, "How do you feel?"
He always thought that after the relationship was announced, she would be the more entangled one and need him to comfort her by singing "Come on, stop crying, everything will be fine." No, she was much calmer.
"I'm fine." Lily tilted her head playfully, "What I hate is the involuntary loss of sex, but this action is our decision, and it was all under our control before. What happened in the next few days, I'm a little glad that it was just like this Well, I thought it would be more sensational and annoying, but my influence now is really not as good as it was when I was a child." She laughed to herself.
"Haha." Ye Wei smiled and drove to the seaside parking lot, "Why do I feel you are uneasy?"
Lily pursed her lips and frowned slightly, "There are some, not because of what the outside world said, it's just old problems I don't want to share these, our feelings, stories, and our love. Now it's like there are What it¡¯s not just mine, ours, that¡¯s really not good.¡±
"I also have a subtle feeling of being robbed." Ye Wei understood her mood, "Our world used to be separate from this world, but now the two worlds are intersecting." Lily's eyes lit up, and he He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. In fact, we haven't lost anything. It's just that a few rays of sunshine have shined into this world of fools. Our world is still there, and it still only belongs to us."
Lily was so sweet that she couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't say much, but he completely understood what she meant. We are not just a couple, we are soul mates!
Ye Wei drove to an empty parking space and continued to say with a smile: "Or it can be compared to the fact that we are on a distant planet that belongs only to us. The light we emit is actually 100 million light years away when the earth captures it. So what does it matter? ?We shine every day.¡±
"One hundred million light years, that's really far." Lily whispered, "I'm still a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?" Ye Wei asked.
"Time has not defeated us, but time has indeed changed us." Lily frowned again."We're doing really well this season. I don't know what we'll be like next season. I'm a little sentimental. I can't help it. I'm Phil Collins' daughter."
She laughed at herself again. She seemed to have changed her name these days. If she was not called Lily Collins, she would be called "Phil Collins' daughter."
Ye Wei parked the car and laughed loudly: "I can't stand the vulgar things that don't hurt the spring and the autumn, and also say that people who hurt the spring and the autumn are idiots." Lily laughed loudly and said: "And I can't stand looking at it. A sissy who cries at the sunset!" Ye Wei shouted: "I didn't!" Lily said happily: "You did once."
"That was sand blowing into my eyes. I call it a 'romantic risk'." Ye Weiyi parked the car and looked at her hurriedly, "Do you know what would make me cry?"
Lily rolled her eyes, "Losing me?"
"Yes!" Ye Wei laughed, "If I can't see your changes, that will make me cry. If I can't change with you, that will make me cry! People often say that the best time is when we first met. At this time, I want to say, fuck it, the best time is when we first met! That is not true love, that is loving yourself and loving what you longed for, no! If life is just like the first meeting, then! How can I understand your heart? How can I love you?¡±
"I don't know" Lily's eyes avoided his gaze a little, those eyes were too hot.
"I know! It's best to break up, because that's not love." Ye Wei became gentler, "Lily, I'm not afraid of changes or any new situations. That will allow me to see more of you and more of myself! I I want to know you, own you, and love you as much as possible. I want to know how deep your love is and how deep my love for you is.¡±
Lily also stared at him, "Sothe best time is when we are together. Is this enough?"
"As long as it's every sunny day or rainy day." Ye Wei reached out to caress her face.
¡°We have some Shakespeare, don¡¯t we?¡±
"Who cares, always."
Both of them laughed, and the friendly words they said to each other were the latest ia light, people on earth, please catch it after 100 million light years, hahaha!
They were reluctant to get out of the car and leave this world full of love, but paparazzi vehicles followed and parked in the surrounding parking spaces. They were so close that they could see the paparazzi in the neighboring cars through the car windows. These People take pictures with SLR cameras, and flashes of light come out.
"Weige! Lily!", "Lily, you are so beautiful today!", "Finally I took a photo of you in the car together!"
The paparazzi¡¯s cameras, recorders, etc. have all been activated, all they need is a live TV shot.
Both of them became quiet instantly. They neither deliberately provoked nor avoided the paparazzi on this date. The paparazzi are like shadows these days, and it definitely takes a lot of effort to avoid them. But the current situation is that their date photos have a high price, and the paparazzi will not stop until they take the photos. Once they are taken, the public sees it, and the hot spot has passed, it will not be like this
No matter what they do, they are not Pitt and Jolie, Cruise and Holmes. They will never want them, but they are not interested.
"What should I do?" Lily indicated with her eyes.
"We should bring a bodyguard assistant." Ye Wei whispered, "Don't get out of the car, let's change places."
Look both ways, weren¡¯t you surrounded by paparazzi when you got out of the car? It's a long walk from here to the restaurant. These people never have any good intentions. Taking photos and making news are their goals, such as provoking him to do something. And he is not sure whether he will punch a paparazzi when he is rude to Lily.
"Okay." Lily responded, her pretty face lost her smile and was expressionless.
Ye Wei immediately reversed the car and left, and the paparazzi hurriedly followed. The paparazzi who had just got out of the car rushed back to their respective vehicles. There was not much time difference. The Volkswagen Polo accelerated slowly and could not get away.
¡°It¡¯s decided, I¡¯ll buy a new car in a few days.¡± Ye Wei said. Lily had no objection to this matter and just said: "Don't sell this car." He smiled and responded: "Never, this will be a cultural relic and antique." She smiled and asked: "Then where to go next?" He didn't say much. She thought: "The colander on the main road? If there is a street parking space outside the restaurant." She nodded: "Go and have a look."
Within a few minutes, the car drove from the seaside parking lot to the main road in the night. The two of them were happy to see that there were parking spaces on the street opposite the Colander Restaurant. Although we have to cross a zebra crossing, the paparazzi have to restrain themselves here, and there are not many roadside parking spaces for them to park, so they can get rid of them when walking.
When the paparazzi were caught off guard and the car was going in the right direction, Ye Wei quickly drove to the parking space, stopped the car, and occupied it. Lily cheered excitedly!
Ye Wei got out of the car, put coins into the meter, and waved and smiled at the paparazzi cars passing by."Bye! Get out of here." Lily has also gotten out of the car. Of course she is dressed up for this date. She wears a white jacket and a three-quarter skirt, a pair of high heels, and a small brown handbag, which explains what elegance is. . He was nothing special, wearing a black jacket and jeans.
He still underestimated the paparazzi today. Unlike the usual stragglers, they were not fighting alone. Almost every car had a driver and a photographer. There seemed to be a complete set of communication equipment in the car, and there was a dedicated person responsible for liaison.
Paparazzi cars drove a few yards ahead and stopped in the dotted line area next to the parking space. They rushed to open the car doors. The paparazzi holding cameras rushed out and started taking pictures!
"viy, look here!"
"Smile!"
"Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her!"
The group of high-end paparazzi laughed loudly and kept pressing the camera shutter at the same time. Provocation is professional behavior. Even if Ye Wei doesn't get angry and hit people, as long as he has a cold face, the news will be "Ye Wei and Lily Collins went on a date, and the reporter gave a cold face", or "Ye Wei and Lily Collins had a bad date, "He left with a cold face after the meal." It would have been better if the woman had a cold face at the same time. "Ye Wei and Lily Collins broke up on bad terms after the meal. Eyewitnesses said that the two had a fierce quarrel." "Ye Wei and Lily - Collins quarreled in the street after dinner, suspected to be under too much pressure from announcing their relationship."
It was only around 7 pm at this time, and there were many tourists on the street. Couples on dates, parents pushing strollers, tourists, etc. all looked at the scene in surprise, there was a celebrity! ?
"You son of a bitch." Ye Wei couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at their shameless faces, his face could not help but become cold, and he was about to raise his middle finger with his right hand.
¡°Anyway, the photo of him giving the middle finger to the paparazzi can fill a basket
"Let's go, ignore them." Lily turned a blind eye to the paparazzi in front of her. She would never see them when she didn't want to see them. He's not that sensitive to the news, she's not, she knows what they're doing, but they're messing with the wrong people, and boom!
With a friendly smile on her face, Lily took Ye Wei's right arm with her left hand and led him towards the zebra crossing.
This was supposed to be a happy scene, but now the paparazzi are disappointed. They are not the same group. They cannot make it too fake if they are selling the same thing. It depends on the decisive photo in the incident. It was Ye Wei¡¯s cold face before, but now it is "Ye Wei and Lily Collins went out on a date, holding hands on the street to show intimacy", which is naturally not as interesting and valuable as having a quarrel on the "first" date.
"Hey!" As she leaned against her and was blown by the sea breeze, Ye Wei sobered up a lot. His heart felt warm and interesting. He asked her with a smile as he walked: "When did you become so enthusiastic about PDAs? This job is not mine. Did you arrange it? I¡¯m really not used to it being snatched away by you all of a sudden.¡±
pda is the compilation of public-display-of-affection, which refers to the behavior of couples showing affection such as hugging and kissing in public without caring about the feelings of others.
"When necessary." Lily turned to look at him, and the sweetness in her heart made her arms tighten, "That's fine, don't kiss me."
Ye Wei obeyed the order and shouted: "That's too bad, we can't go to the Staples Center to watch the game tomorrow."
This is part of TLB's publicity work. Tomorrow, at 7:30 pm on the 8th, the Lakers will face the Timberwolves at home in the NBA regular season. He will sit on the sidelines and watch the game. He will appear on TV and let the media report it and mention it. And his new movie is about to be released. Originally, Paramount arranged for several of the leading actors from TLB to go together. It was best for Liz to go with him. Now it is best for Lily to go with him, and the other girls do not need to go.
This time he must go to see it, and Lily is still considering whether to go together.
If we go together, we will definitely be targeted by the kiss-cam. Will we kiss or not?
"Why? You can go, I'm a little interested." Lily said with a smile. Ye Wei asked: "What about kiss-cam? I don't care, a French wet kiss is fine, just kidding." Lily snorted and easily solved it: "Kiss-cam is not a problem, we asked the distribution staff to say hello to the stadium director. We can be on camera, but not kiss-cam, that¡¯s fine.¡±
Ye Wei was suddenly startled, "Yes!" It's that simple. He was somewhat amused: "Sometimes I really don't remember that I have the privilege of being a celebrity."
The two of them crossed the zebra crossing with several passers-by, and they all stopped talking. The paparazzi over there continued to take pictures, and passers-by were looking at them. Fortunately, there were no young people asking for autographs and photos with celebrities. When they reached the opposite street, the two of them walked towards the Colander Restaurant.
"I want to see you play football more." Lily's soft voice had a charming tone, "I haven't seen it for a long time, the speeding No. 6!" Ye Wei was very excited after hearing this, "The skills are still there! When I rest on Sunday, I Just invite a bunch of guys to play a friendly match, and then you can cheer me on." Lily leaned on his shoulder encouragingly.
"Finish the work at hand"Finally, I thought about trying out with a Premier League team, Manchester United or Arsenal, what about that? "
"You said that dreams are what you have to chase!"
