Chapter 322

"Claire! Are you okay? We should go out!" Anna yelled.

She stood at the entrance, adjusting her exaggerated earrings in front of the mirror. The sparkling diamonds on the earrings flickered between her carefully drawn nails. After adjusting the angle of the earrings, Anna turned her head sideways again. , looking carefully at his lip makeup.

The lipstick used today is a color number she has never used before. Every time she tries a new style, Anna feels both exciting and nervous:

It’s not that she has any insecurities about her appearance and beauty. For Anna, any slight change in makeup, accessories and clothing means that she has a new way to express herself. .

And she always hopes that her best friend can give her a little advice.

A few minutes later, Claire finally arrived late, still wearing the printed T-shirt and solid-color short skirt that she always chooses when going out, because she was born with a pair of well-proportioned long legs, this simple and generous dress set off Claire's Like the heroine in a chick flick.

"You look great in this way!" Anna praised enthusiastically, "You really should go out for a stroll more, Claire, there are quite a few boys in our community asking me about you, I really don't think about them ?Even if you want to step on a few boats, I can also be your wingman, helping you cover it up perfectly."

Claire gave Anna a helpless look: "Don't be kidding, you know how busy I am recently."

This is true.

Since being admitted to the university of her choice, Claire has been immersed in her studies all day long. Even the work on the website can only be done regularly every day. Fortunately, their boss is very generous in this regard, and even called Claire specifically to ask if she needs Need to adjust working hours.

"It's okay to focus on studying temporarily, and I will reserve your position for you." Carl promised on the other end of the phone, "You have grown up with the website, Claire, I believe you will grow up together in the future, and now it is just a short-term Rest. Just like the rest in a piece of music, my dear, the most beautiful syllables are after the rest."

Clare is grateful for the kindness of the boss.

Of course, it would not be the level of trepidation when they first met, but anyway, she seriously rejected the boss's proposal, and insisted on handling various matters of the website during the busy study break.

Claire contributed a lot to the release of the "Mutants" movie. She was the first to discover the original novel from the website, and she also watched and supported the completion of the original novel. However, after recommending this extremely authentic novel to After becoming the boss, Claire hardly paid attention to the follow-up development.

If it weren't for Anna screaming "Claire! The movie adapted from the novel you recommended is released! Let's go see it together!" Claire might even miss the movie's schedule.

Knowing that she hadn't paid attention to the movie at all, Anna immediately bought movie tickets through internal means, then excitedly dragged Claire and made an appointment to go to the movie together.

"I know you're busy dear, so we should cherish the time we spend together." Anna chuckled, slapped Claire affectionately, and then dragged Claire downstairs without any explanation.

Claire was suddenly pushed into the car by the other party, and she couldn't help but be taken aback: "Anna, be careful!"

"Yeah, no problem, no problem." Anna responded perfunctorily, and stepped on the accelerator.

Her shiny earrings wobbled wildly.

Because she had already made psychological preparations, Claire had a pretty good expression when she got off the car.

On the contrary, Anna, who was going crazy all the way, was so excited that she couldn't even walk properly, as if she had drunk too much.

They walked into the movie together, just like in the old days, Anna walking fast and slow, Claire walking evenly, their shoulders constantly switching back and forth.

Either Anna felt that she was walking too fast, so she stopped and waited for Claire, or Anna found that she was attracted by other things on the side of the road. Catch up one step at a time...

And Claire, dependable Claire, calm Claire, unflappable Claire, always on target, always at an even pace, never distracted.

Anna suddenly felt a little redness around her eyes.

The lights went out, the movie started, and the story about friendship, about time, about freedom and dreams kicked off.

Anna subconsciously raised her hand, adjusted the earrings lightly, then touched the little circle hanging around her neck, took a deep breath, and put down her hand.

……

When Professor X was knocked out and Magneto walked away without looking back, many emotional audiences cried out.

Anna was the one who cried the most.

Claire, who was sitting next to her, held her hand without saying a word.

……

The movie ended, and the two girls walked out of the movie theater together, holding hands tightly, shoulder to shoulder.

"You're my best friend," Anna said to Claire, "just like Charles and Eric will always be best friends."

"The analogy between their relationship and our relationship doesn't seem quite right, honey, anyway, we don't touch on those issues that go to the core." Claire replied, even though she didn't. Too aware of what he is talking about, "Ambivalence makes the relationship deeper."

"Have we ever had any conflicts?" Anna thought, "It seems that there is not."

Claire took Anna's hand and sent her to the passenger seat, then sat in the driver's seat herself.

"We've had conflicts. A lot," she said, "but you've forgotten."

She started the car and drove smoothly, her unadorned fingers were curled up on the steering wheel, and her nude pink fingernails were also clear and beautiful.

"My boyfriend proposed to me," Anna said suddenly.

"Promise him." Claire replied without thinking.

"I'm getting married... I'm getting married. I don't know how I got to this point, Claire, God, I don't think I know what I'm going to do when I'm married, I mean, when I'm married I'm going to move away, although I only come back on weekends now, but...but when I come back on weekends, I still feel like I'm going home."

But after getting married, this is not her home. Thinking of this, Anna feels very panic.

"You're just afraid," Carlisle said calmly, "but there's no need, my dear, there's no need to be afraid. Besides, your fiancé is lovely, and you will have a happy family."

"What if he is unreliable? What if our relationship breaks down in the future? What if our children don't obey at all?"

Anna twisted nervously on the seat, like a snake anxious because of shedding its skin: "What if we lose contact after I get married?"

"If he is unreliable, then become reliable. If the relationship breaks down, then carefully consider whether to get a divorce. If the child is disobedient, then learn how to educate him or her." Claire said calmly, "If we lose contact—"

Anna opened her eyes that were red and swollen from crying, and waited expectantly.

"—that means it's the end of the friendship." Claire said, "it's the law of nature, just like death, it's a natural thing."

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Anna crashed her head against the seat behind her, "I knew you would say that! I knew it!"

Claire didn't respond, just smiled.

"But the movie is really good." Anna said, "What are the names of the two leading actors? Ethan and Gaston? I should remember correctly, their names are quite distinctive, and they will definitely become popular."

"The movie is excellent." Claire nodded in agreement, "I find that these movies are very valuable, that is, they can infuse those ordinary feelings and characteristics into the extraordinary characters themselves. At the same time, these ordinary characters It doesn’t make those characters mediocre in any way.”

"You talk too much." Anna said she couldn't understand.

"Although the feelings between people are not in common, there is always something to resonate with. There are many kinds of feelings that everyone can understand-for example, the friendship between mutants who are excluded by ordinary people, people can understand , even if I haven’t really experienced it myself.” Claire explained, “But the decisions made by those extraordinary people are...de-emotional. Their reason is difficult to be disturbed, and this part of the choice is difficult to understand of."

Now Anna understood:

"Are you saying that the break between Professor X and Magneto is difficult to understand? I think it is easy to understand. Their personalities, experiences, and ideas are all destined to prevent them from going to the end together."

"The understanding you think is different from the understanding I said." Claire said, "You accept the logic of this matter, but are you willing to accept it emotionally? You are willing to see such a beautiful, common for your own ethnic group Are struggling friendships broken? Would you like to see the already small number of mutants split into different groups?"

Anna fell silent.

"The film's shots, lines, and actors' performances are all very sensational, which exacerbates the difference between logic and emotion, and the consequences of this difference will be very dramatic." Claire said, smiling slightly, "This movie will be popular." of."

She parked the car downstairs, but not downstairs of her own house, but downstairs of Anna's boyfriend's house.

"I haven't said congratulations yet," Claire said. "Congratulations."

Anna raised her head and stared at her blankly for a while, tears flowed down again, it was rare that her eye makeup didn't get wet, but this may also have something to do with Anna not putting too much effort into her eyes.

"We're not going to lose touch," Claire added. "Unless the Ayre Group goes down and the website goes down. That's unlikely to happen, right?"
