When Elijah texted Eduardo in the morning to confirm the itinerary, Eduardo was almost in Manhattan.He has been absent recently, and even Riley doesn't know what he is doing every day. When Ilya goes to their villa every morning and evening, Eduardo has either gone out or hasn't come back at night.

After a long time, Elijah would secretly ask Riley during lunch, "Is Mr. Savarin hiding from me?"

Riley was eating salad, heard his question, and asked him suspiciously: "Edu should be hiding from Mr. Zuckerberg."

Of course Elijah knew that Eduardo was hiding from Mark, he just wanted to know why, he thought their relationship should ease recently, and Mark had already let go of his promise to see a psychiatrist.

He then asks Riley if she knows what happened to them and why Eduardo is avoiding Mark.

Riley was still a little puzzled and asked him back: "Does he need any other additional reasons to hide from him?"

Elijah:...

Elijah felt that this logic was too correct, and there was basically nothing to refute it.

Eduardo didn't hide from Mark on purpose, and he definitely didn't hide from Mark because Mark secretly kissed him when he was drunk and his reflex arc lengthened, he definitely didn't; The way the capital world in New York works, plus he's a big guy the size of Lancelot Wood, he'll tell him anything.

Elijah had texted him in the morning, telling him to ask him to come some time this afternoon, and they had to visit Mr. Garner Dopp, the producer who had been working on the film for them, in the hospital.

The last time they met with the producer was when they were discussing the cast of the movie. For some reason, Mr. Dopp drank a lot of whiskey and was sent to the hospital for alcohol poisoning that day.

Eduardo thought of this, and sent a text message to Mark, wanting to ask him how to deal with the actor's affairs, the text message was about to be sent, and suddenly realized that Mark was very busy recently, so he deleted the edited text and just sent him a :"What are you doing?"

Mark's message was returned quickly, and the phone rang within less than a minute.

He replied: "I miss you too?"

Eduardo:  …

Eduardo: ! ! ! !What is this all about? ! ! !I!also!exist!think!you!I, I, I miss you, you little biscuit!

Eduardo was so angry that he wanted to drop his phone.When he said 'somewhat', he meant 'very much, very much'.

When he calmed down a little, and stopped blowing his hair when he looked at his phone, he also understood a little bit of Mark's logic—behind every "what are you doing" is "I'm thinking of you"?If you think about it clearly, it’s just that although this logic makes sense, it’s too girly. Maybe Mark himself felt it, so when he said it, it was also a question sentence.

Eduardo looked at the text message interface, and he could imagine Mark's appearance when he said that sentence in his mind - he must have a blank face, a robotic voice, and a slightly puzzled tone.

Eduardo buckled up the phone and didn't look at it, simply out of sight and out of mind, but after a while, the phone rang again, and Eduardo looked at it, and it was still Mark.

Mark: 【Tonight will be free】

Mark: [Today is the FB Annual Creator Conference]

Mark: 【Come back early, we will wait for you at the villa】

Mark: [You will feel very, very boring, but you still have to come here. 】

Eduardo:  …

At the time that Eduardo contacted Mark, Mark was also missing work, and he and his therapist Clarice were rowing in Central Park.

During the time when she was answering text messages with Edward, Clarice put her hands on his shoulders, so as to perceive his emotions as soon as possible, while relying on her human instincts to guide Mark.

Clarice was talking to Mark about their college days when Eduardo's "what are you doing" text came in.

Mark apologizes to her, then looks at his phone and says, "It's Eduardo, he asked what he was doing."

Clarice casually joked with him, saying: "Woo, it seems that someone is missing you~"

"What do you mean?"

"Huh, don't you know?—When someone asks what you're doing, it's him thinking about you."

Mark nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then Clarice looked at him and replied to Eduardo: "I miss you too?"

Clarice: ...

Later, Mark remembered that there was some news that he had not told Eduardo, so he sent a text message directly——[Tonight’s time will be free].

After posting, he looked at Clarice, wanting to ask her for advice.

Clarice: "Uh, Mark, are you being too strong, Eduardo is not your employee?"

Mark explained a sentence and sent it out: [Today is the FB Annual Creator Conference]

Clarice: "I mean you talk a little more? Isn't that the tone of an announcement?"

Mark added: [Come back early, we will wait for you at the villa]

Clarice: "Something more normal? Talk to him and make some fun?"

Mark: [You will feel very bored, but you still have to come here. 】

Clarice: ...

Clarice: Can't move, can't move, goodbye.

She couldn't imagine the expression on Eduardo's face when he saw this series of text messages.She thought about it carefully and decided to shorten her time as Mark's psychiatrist because she always felt that she often had a very silly influence on Mark.

After Mark can trust others a little bit, she will recommend Mark to those blingbling psychiatrists, Clarice made up her mind in her heart.

When they went to see Mr. Dopp in the afternoon, things were also strange.Eduardo was a little embarrassed because Mark texted him in the morning, and Mr. Dopp ended up holding their hands and talking non-stop with the two of them.

During the previous conversation, Mark said seriously that he wanted Keanu Reeves to play him, and Eduardo also said with him that he wanted James McAvoy to play himself.He thought that Mr. Dopp was surprised by their stupid and rich remarks, and felt that they had ruined art and kept drinking to cover up-after all, he knew that Mark alone was enough of a layman, plus Shang himself also chimed in with half-truths and half-false words - no matter who doesn't drink some wine, he really can't resist.

As a result, after such a visit today, it was discovered that Mr. Dopp was not disgusted with them, and he kept telling them some points that need to be paid attention to when making movies.Why don’t you be superstitious about gold medal stars, your biographical films need new faces to tell stories; why directors must hire someone who is very good at rational narrative techniques; why don’t you just emphasize in the film that the two of you have a good relationship, In the current situation, it’s better to reverse the situation and write about the cold details of your relationship. Although it’s cold, it’s good to not be separated——

When he first listened to it, Eduardo only thought that Mr. Dopp was old enough to be easy to talk about. Unexpectedly, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he even started to presuppose with them what the director should do in the storyboard.

Speaking of the latter, Eduardo has become a little numb to the words 'changing the world', 'cold sense of collision' and 'mutual deviance and mutual dependence'.

He thinks that artists are really crazy, and they actually think their entrepreneurial story is an art.

After finally getting to the end, Eduardo felt that his face was going to freeze from laughing, and that if he hit it with a small hammer, it would shatter into small ice cubes.Before they left, Mr. Dopp said that there was a very good candidate for a director, and he had already recommended it to Sean.

Eduardo nodded, unable to spit out the sentence "Isn't he the world-class horror film director?"

They walked out of the ward, chatting while walking in the corridor of the hospital, and talked about the actors. The sun shone brightly on the ground, illuminating the corridor like a hollowed-out obeso.

Eduardo asked Mark: "Are you really interested in Keanu Reeves?"

Mark walked on Eduardo's left, and the sun sent his shadow to Eduardo's feet, and he answered him, "Of course," and then he paused and added, "Do you like James McAvoy very much? "

His topic was harsh, and the pause made it look like he was trying to have a normal conversation with Eduardo.

Eduardo was a little baffled by his own imagination. He shook off the idea and joked: "I like Maran Brando-but can we find an actor who can play opposite him?"

"Actually, the actor Sean found is not bad."

Eduardo remembered that the actor Sean had found for Mark, James Frank, the popular sweetheart, had curly hair like Mark, but Frank's curly hair was obviously more stylish than Mark's.

"I thought you didn't like James Frank - I mean he's so different from Keanu Reeves."

"Oh no, I think he's fine," Mark replied to Eduardo, and then he added blankly, "James is 180cm."

"so what?"

"Mr. Highmore is 178cm."

"—"

"In such a short period of time, Mr. Highmore probably won't grow any taller."

Eduardo:  …

Eduardo: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

He reacted for a while at first, because when Mark said these words, his face was really expressionless, and his tone was dull. Moreover, it was Mark who was talking about height, but Mark was actually talking about height.

At the same time, he realized that the surrounding environment was really not suitable for laughing so happily. He suppressed his laughter and said to Mark: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

mark:···

Mark opened his mouth awkwardly, and replied: "—baby face!"

Eduardo:  …

Eduardo wanted to hold back, since they were still in the hospital, but—

Mark listened to him laughing for a while, and then asked him a little depressed: "Why can you always take yourself with me just to hate me?"

"Maybe, I hate you more than I like myself?"

Mark wanted to emphasize to him very seriously: "Eduardo, I have changed a lot, what you see is a brand new me."

"Oh, you finally convinced the other voices in your head to listen to you?"

mark:···

The atmosphere ahead was preconceived, and Eduardo only thought he was joking.

After they made an appointment to meet in the evening, they separated to do their own things. Before leaving the hospital, Mark sat on the bench at the door for a while.Clarice always feels that she is of little help to him, but after only two treatments, he can already have a normal conversation with Eduardo. Before that, Eduardo has never laughed so happily because of what he said, which shows that It all started to work.

In the evening, Eduardo came back late. He was delayed for a while, just in time for the heavy traffic jam during the commuting time, and the road out of the city was full of grievances.Elijah and the party planner had set up the venue when he returned, Mark was tiptoeing on a chair by the gate, trying to close a small pineapple-shaped chandelier, and beast was wearing a party chandelier. The little firework hat danced around Mark.

As soon as Eduardo stepped into the yard, beast ran towards him and threw himself into his arms, almost throwing him down on the lawn.

Mark hung up the chandelier, walked over, and said, "I don't know, you get along so well."

Eduardo stood up, shaking the fur and grass clippings rubbed against by the beast, and said, "Don't you know? Beast's full name is actually Beast Saverin."

Next to them, Ilya walked by with a chandelier. Hearing this sentence, he always felt that this sentence sounded strange.

Mark replied, "I didn't know when you married my dog."

Eduardo had seen Ilya's expression, and felt that this topic was a bit dangerous, and wanted to stop, but when he heard Mark's answer, he couldn't help but slapped Mark, regardless of the context: "I'm with Are you married, sir, and you didn’t sign the pre-nuptial property notarization.”

mark:···

Elijah:...

Eduardo:  …

Eduardo felt that this answer was even weirder than his own answer just now, and he seemed to have let the topic slide to a very dangerous place.

After hearing his answer, Mark didn't take advantage of the victory to chase after him. Instead, he put down the pineapple lamp, turned around and went upstairs.

Eduardo asked him, "Where are you going?"

"Go upstairs and change—you have to change too."

It's quite rushing.

Eduardo really didn't know why he said the wrong thing, but Mark escaped worse than him.

Turning around again, Ilya also put down the pineapple lamp and ran away. There was only one person and one dog left in the lively place just now.

Eduardo:  …

Ilya: I can't take it, I can't take it, I say goodbye.
