Chapter 38 38 Come on, let's cross the morning and evening line together and fly to
The road to Sleepy Hollow is not easy.
When Randy picked them up at the door of the hotel with his boyfriend, he was very sensitive to what was wrong, and quickly gave him a wink, and the boyfriend immediately understood. golf.Only Mark and Randy were left. Randy wanted to ask Mark what happened to them, but he couldn't tell.
To be precise, the little awkwardness between him and Eduardo was not anyone's fault.
Can only blame this damn coincidence.
Sean reminded them before that there were particularly troublesome people from the capital side and the media who were after them, and he and Eduardo still dealt with them one-on-one.
In fact, he knew about this matter a long time ago, and it was not a problem to deal with it, because there was no solution once and for all.
Later, Sean gave him inspiration, and he came up with a solution: the media wants 'truth', so just put in what you want them to know.
Mr. Zuckerberg, who is good at scheming, quickly locked in a few more suitable candidates, and then he was cold and arrogant in the early stage of meeting them, pretending that he had a very good relationship with Eduardo, but he still showed A little bit of telling to show that their relationship is not good, and they are all hooked by his bait, because they also believe that there is no true love in this world.In the later interviews, he gradually showed a different version of himself, became calm and interesting, with a geek romance, making them feel that he is a person who is hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Show them some details, such as upside-down photos or account information from ten years ago, to prove that I am just an upright person, and that I really love Eduardo, and I love Eduardo from the bottom of my heart. The hard one.
He went very smoothly, and they all fell into the trap. The smoothest one was Miss Ilica from "Focus". She was young and famous for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. A report - "Mark Zuckerberg: Tenderness in Frozen."
Randy heard this and said that this is no problem.
This is really not a problem at all, but I don't know if Miss Ilica just wanted to be more real or just wanted to take the opportunity to step on him, she actually wrote out his heavy blow to her, and she also brought a lot of her own emotions. Eduardo frowned when he heard the news report, and looked at Mark with a half-smile for a while.
Mark remembered the day it happened, but Ilica wasn't exaggerating - which made it harder for him to explain to Eduardo.
That period of time was just before Mr. Moss' incident happened. He and Eduardo were running back and forth between Midtown and the park. He calculated the time and estimated that the net could be closed, so he began to give her hints more and more frequently. Appreciate her.On the one hand, Ilica caught the deep bond between him and Eduardo from the details of the conversation, and on the other hand, she divined some bad factors from his appreciation. The two contradictory speculations made her more curious and want to To find an answer.
Mark gave her an answer.On that day, they read the archives of FB and the timeline made by Mark himself. They made an appointment to have dinner at a restaurant in Midtown. , Said some straightforward appreciation to her.After dinner, Mark sent her back on the way, pretending to be drunk, saying that she was cute, and holding her hand, looking intently into her eyes without avoiding - he knew how arrogant and proud a person is How much damage a focused gaze can bring—he imitated a drunken voice and said, "Your eyes are so beautiful."
As he said this, he didn't miss the complex look of ecstasy and disappointment in Ilica's eyes. She thought she had found the final answer.
Mark chuckled inwardly, and continued: "I like your suit today, Wardo."
Ilica and Eduardo have the same hair color and eyes.
Then he turned his head away, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to meditate, regardless of the turmoil in Miss Ilica's heart, because no matter how she pursued, she could always find a little shadow of Eduardo from his past appreciation, no matter from which angle she ended up will attribute that appreciation to her and Eduardo's resemblance, and will write an article to stand for them.
She herself will firmly believe in the "truth" obtained through such twists and turns.
After listening to his brother's narration, Randy drank a glass of martini in one breath, and then asked him with some doubts: "So what are you wondering about?"
"—"
"Didn't Eduardo have every reason to be angry?"
"—I explained it to him."
"With all due respect, your explanation doesn't seem to work."
"—"
"Does he think that if you treat her like this, you may have done more outrageous things to other people."
"He didn't think so."
"how do you know?"
"Because there's only one associative Randy Zuckerberg in the world."
Randy Chen paused, and then said shyly, "Now it's Randy Hisar."
mark:···
Mark: "—Is now the time to say that?"
Randy had had enough of laughing, put the joke away, and said to Mark, "I think he might just be scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Fear of the past reappearing."
"—"
"Mark, you are very smart. You have been smarter than anyone else in your family since you were a child. You can find the simplest way to solve problems since you were a child. You like to break the rules, which also makes you very successful in your career and studies. But in In life, this is taking advantage of loopholes and opportunism, whether it is for Eduardo or the lady reporter, you should not do this."
"—"
"You and Eduardo had such a quarrel back then. If you continue like this, you will still lose him."
"—"
"So go and apologize to him, don't wait for him to come to you."
Mark nodded thoughtfully.
Randy got up and gave him a hug, and her voice was in his ear, she said, "Mark, my sister hopes you are well."
During lunch, Eduardo and Randy's boyfriend came back, they got along very well, Mark's parents also came back, and everyone gathered at the same table for dinner.
They had a great lunch, and they talked about a lot of topics. Eduardo's common sense habit of everything since college also helped a lot. No matter where Randy talked about the topic, he could save it. He and Mark My parents are also very harmonious.Of course, the topic they talked about the most was Mark's childhood.
After lunch, Randy and the others went for a walk. They were both fans of Sleepy Hollow. Mark and Eduardo went upstairs to rest.
After the curtains were all drawn, no light could come in. Mark turned on the bedside lamp, and Eduardo went to bed, lying on the bed and watching the tablet, but still did not talk to Mark.
Mark walked over, trying to find a topic with him, but when he walked over, he found that he was reading the original article of Ilica's news.
mark:···
It turns out that you only listened to it on the radio but were not satisfied.
Mark intuitively felt that this matter might not be so easy to turn over.
Eduardo called the room service and asked for ice cream. After eating all of it, he seemed to be in a better mood. He read the original report of Ilia to Mark with a smile on his face.
He has a good voice, and every pronunciation is very mellow, even if he is angry, he can't hear it.
Eduardo didn't want to talk to Mark at first. He planned not to talk to Mark for a full three hours, at least to teach him a lesson. At the same time, he felt uncomfortable. He found the original report of Ilica and wanted to read it.
Damn it, the whole article is just praising him, even if you want to quarrel, you can't find a point.
There is a passage in it that mentions that when Ilica first met Mark, Mark didn’t like to talk to her very much. She thought about a lot of topics and wanted to get into it, but it was too difficult, and she wanted to put it aside for a while. As a result, When they talked about the part about behavioral drivers, Mark was distracted for a while, and then asked her if she wanted to know what kind of person Eduardo was.She said she wanted to know.Mark said that when some people encounter bad things, they will think that God is unfair, and others will blame themselves, but Eduardo always thinks that this incident must be forewarned, so as not to let others encounter it.
Ilica didn't expect such a short answer, she thought it would be more profound.Mark saw what she was thinking, smiled, and added that he was the only one I met.Then their conversation opened up here, and Mark started to say some real things to her.
Seeing this, Eduardo put down the tablet, sighed, and said to Mark: "You know, I'm not that good, right?"
Mark said nothing.
Eduardo continued to sigh and said, "I always feel that you give me too high a standard in your heart. This is actually not good, and you will always be disappointed."
"It's nothing, anyone is the unity of both sexes, humanity and divinity, you have divinity, there is nothing to question."
Eduardo felt that he was not thick enough to brag about his thickness with him.
"Divinity makes you respectable, humanity makes you lovable."
Still not that thick.
"In addition, in philosophy, an important characteristic of divinity is forgiveness, being good at forgiving the shortcomings of all things, especially human beings."
Eduardo almost laughed angrily at him.
It turned out to be waiting for me here.
"So you praised me just to trick me."
Mark pretended not to understand.
"Thinking about it this way, I seem to have been tricked by you several times. At first, you tricked me to go back to the United States, and later you tricked me into making a movie, or you tricked me into confessing my love."
"If you understand so well, I can't explain anything—go downstairs and look around?"
"No," Eduardo said viciously on purpose, "I don't think anything is good here, especially if there are any horror legends."
"Okay then—it's not good here, is Singapore good?"
"it is good!"
"Then let's go to Singapore." Mark answered him.
"what?"
"You said before that Singapore is very small, and you can go shopping on weekends, which happens to be a holiday on Thanksgiving."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, you don't like it here?"
Eduardo was a little moved, because he really wanted to go back to Singapore, but Mark's mention was a bit abrupt, and he was not mentally prepared.
"Go ahead, Wardo," Mark said, looking intently into his eyes, "take it as my apology."
Who will Mark Zuckerberg apologize to?
Eduardo discarded this idea and booked a flight ticket to Singapore. After booking, he wondered if he had been tricked by Mark again.
Before leaving, Mark's parents, Randy, and Randy's boyfriend came to see them off. Mother was pulling Eduardo to talk, and Randy pulled Mark aside.
"I saw your order."
Randy cut to the chase.
"What order?"
"Order for the ring."
Mark frowned, and instinctively didn't want to mention this matter, he said, "It's just a spur of the moment."
"Ever since you were a child, you have arranged for the cartoon that will look better two months later, and you will not be impulsive."
"Randy, this is my business."
"You are my younger brother, do you want us to accompany you through 2006 again?"
"—"
"That was a nightmare Mark."
"I don't think it's a good time to be."
"I think you're just scared."
"—"
"Mark, you have been like this since you were a child. When you get emotional, you divert your attention."
"I'm a little impulsive before I decide on a ring."
"I saw the sketch on the order, the ring you designed yourself, it will take some time, can't you calm down after such a long time of design? The time you place the order and wait for the order is too long Can't you calm down?"
Mark was speechless.
Randy softened his voice and said, "Do you remember when we were kids and went to Cousin Gray's wedding?"
"I don't remember much."
"I guess so, you were too young at the time - Cousin Gray's wedding was very beautiful, she and her lover were very in love, my mother and I were very moved, when they exchanged vows, we all cried, because it is true It's beautiful, but at this moment, there is a sudden sound, it's you playing a game console, and you just cleared the level."
"Then Mom reprimanded me."
Mark remembered, and he remembered his mother berating him for being so rude.
Randy nodded and asked him, "Do you remember what you said?"
Mark doesn't remember.
Randy said: "You say, 'I'm sad, I want to play games when I'm sad', and then Mom asks you why you're sad, and you say, 'Cousin Gray and her lover are very much in love, she looks at him so intently, and never No one's going to look at me like that' - Mark, you were five when you said that."
"—"
"So, I think, it's not that you're unprepared, you're just avoiding, you're afraid of facing this, and you should be facing this."
"—"
"You should take the initiative to take a step forward and tell him your thoughts of wanting to go one step further. The same is true for the things you did back then. You should take the initiative and talk to him. You can't always wait for him to start first."
Mark knew his sister was right, and he thanked her for telling him this.
He looked to the side, and Eduardo was talking with his parents and his sister's fiancé. He was very happy, and he yearned for this kind of family life.
Mark looked back, took a deep breath, and said softly, "I don't want children."
Randy was also a little shocked when he heard his words, but she quickly understood Mark's hidden meaning. She was engaged, and she understood what level it was.
"Have you talked to Eduardo?"
"I don't want to lose him."
"—"
"Subjectively, I am willing to raise a child in order to keep him—this is a huge responsibility. I don't know how far I can do it, whether it is good for the child's growth—can I really make him happy."
Randy hesitated to speak, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat him on the shoulder supportively and said, "There will be a way, Mark."
"Thanks, Randy."
"You will always be my little marky."
After boarding the plane, Mark and Eduardo sat side by side, and the latter pouted, preferring to watch Hesse rather than talk to him.When the flight attendants passed by the two of them, they would sneak a glance, not gossip, but because they were afraid that the two of them would fight.
The problem is that this is not a short-distance flight, and it will take a few hours. Eduardo persisted for more than two hours, and then he forgot to talk to Mark again.
Hesse's writing is quiet and beautiful, intoxicating and hypnotic.
Edward looked at it for a while, and then he became a little sleepy. He flattened the back of the chair and prepared to take a rest. It was dark outside the window, and he could vaguely see traces of clouds. When he flew over the city, he could still see a carefully cut bright light cluster.
Wherever there is human life, there are lights twinkling.
Overhead, constellations.Underfoot, the constellation. Five billion miles away, galaxies die like snow on water. ("Night Flight")
The plane continued to fly forward, the night began to fade a little bit, and the outline of the clouds gradually became clear. The plane was crossing the morning and evening line, getting closer and closer to their destination, across the hemisphere, the city farthest from New York.
What a beautiful scene.
Mark reached out to close the shutters, and he knew they were heading straight ahead, across the twilight line, toward dawn.
Mark moved very lightly, but Eduardo still woke up. Together with Mark, he looked outside in a daze.
"Wardo, I'm sorry."
Mark spoke softly to him.
"I love you, Mark."
"I love you too."
"I know."
Of course Mark Zuckerberg will apologize, to those he loves.
