346 Nothing can be done
"Hi Jacob, I'm Anna, sorry to miss your call again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info it's really busy here. Are you here at five o'clock this afternoon? It's five o'clock here and eight o'clock when you're there...... Nine o'clock, nine o'clock in the morning...... Ah, I can't believe I'm missing you again. I'll call later. If you're not around, hopefully I'll find you on Monday. ”
"Hey, I...... I'm ready to go to bed now, try again tomorrow. I know you're going to talk to me about magazines, but I really ...... Uh, exhausted, I have to wake up early tomorrow for work. So...... You, you can email me and tell me all the details. Then tell me when you're free...... Okay, we'll talk next time, goodbye. ”
London and Los Angeles, the difference in time, the distance of space, Anna and Jacob's lives have entered a completely different track, forcibly cutting off the connection between each other.
Hope slowly lowered her shoulders, frowned, and looked at the big screen in disbelief, the sweetness was so turbulent that the cruel reality was completely caught off guard and froze in place, and she didn't even have time to refute and protest, Anna and Jacob had already gone on with their lives.
Anna got a job at the magazine, and every day was so busy that she didn't even have time to breathe, and Jacob opened his own studio, took orders one after another, and his life became full.
“…… The first week of June. Jacob had become vicissitudes, the messy stubble made him look a little decadent, and his messy hair had not been taken care of for a while, "We can postpone it until June 10th." ”
"You're going to England after that?" asked Jacob's supplier jokingly.
"No......" Jacob shook his head, and replied very crisply, but the end showed hesitation, and finally shook his head firmly in denial, "No, no, no, no, no." A barrage of words seemed to solidify his thoughts.
"No?" the vendor looked surprised.
Jacob took a deep breath, "No, we talked about it two months ago. Both of us agreed not to ...... anymore Uh......"
"Can you just be friends?"
"Yes. Jacob nodded, but a hint of melancholy and confusion slipped through his eyes, and even his smile added a little bitterness.
Hope suddenly hit a spirit, a year, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. A year ago, Anna graduated, spent the summer in Los Angeles, and was deported when she returned, and now it's June again, and a year is too fast.
Hope turned his head quickly, only to find that William, Graham, and the others had not noticed this detail in the slightest, but Tessa did, and both of them had surprise in their eyes. This kind of detail hidden in the script is too subtle to be missed if you are not careful, but it is crucial to the whole story.
That short conversation reveals so much information. Over the course of the year, Jacob traveled to and from England so often that his suppliers knew so much that it seemed that after each shipment of goods was over, Jacob would leave for London, and everyone had heard of his love affair with Anna. But, two months ago, both decided to give up.
In the understatement, revealing a faint sadness, Hope suddenly quieted down, how sweet the happiness was before, and how bitter the pain was now.
Anna sat in the bar, and after a busy day of work, she finally got some free time to get together with friends, relax, talk and laugh, and be lively. But suddenly, their conversation was about Los Angeles, and Anna's expression became lonely, and the exhaustion pulled the smile down the corner of her mouth, and she fell into her own sadness with a smile. So, she went back early, scrambled on/to bed devastated and exhausted.
Jacob sat in the bar, surrounded by friends, chattering and discussing, but he seemed out of place, as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him, all the noise disappeared, the loneliness between his eyebrows became extremely quiet, and he was trapped in another world.
"I'll be back in a moment. Jacob couldn't sit any longer, so he turned and left the bar and dialed Anna's phone. "Hey. Anna's voice came, and Jacob touched the tail of his brow lightly and said hesitantly, "Hey, Anna, are you okay?"
“…… I am fine. Anna was also stunned, a little overwhelmed, and paused for a moment before speaking, "I just ...... A bit of a surprise. How are you?"
"I moved. Jacob stood on the side of the street, watching the cars go by, and Anna's polite reply came over the phone, "That's good." Yes, that's good. ”
The conversation between the two people stumbled and intermittently, and the back and forth of a "ah" and an "oh" made the conversation fragmented, and there was not even a clear content, just a polite entertainment.
Eventually, the two hung up. Jacob looked at the traffic in front of him, dazed, looked at his mobile phone, and was distracted, as if his soul had been out of his body, and he was stunned in place, for a long time, for a long time without moving.
Anna tried to lie down and fall asleep, but she couldn't breathe, she almost couldn't breathe, she sat up again, picked up her phone, dialed the phone, and breathed heavily, but her burning lungs still didn't absorb any oxygen, and her brain became ruddy because of the lack of oxygen.
Jacob's cell phone rang, and with a happy look on his face, he immediately picked up the phone and said hello happily, "Hey." ”
Just hearing this voice, hot tears slid down, "Hey. Anna choked up in response, but could not continue, Jacob's slightly nasal voice came from the other end of the earpiece, "Hey?" With a hint of inquiring concern, she easily broke through all of Anna's defenses, and couldn't stop crying.
Hot tears passed through the palms of his hands and dripped down, as if he had been greatly wronged, but he couldn't vent it, biting his lower lip tightly to avoid crying out of his voice, "I want to ask, do you want to come over?" After saying it, he laughed directly, crying and laughing, and the sharp pain reached the extreme. "Come here now? uh, I, I'm waiting for you here?"
The corners of Jacob's mouth stiffened slightly, the light under his eyes was like starlight swaying in the wind, rippling with invisible water, and the joy of happiness fainted in the depths of that dark brown pupil, "Okay." A smile overflowed from his eyes, staining the corners of his mouth with a hint of rose, and he chuckled directly.
Like fools, the two of them laughed out loud into the telephone receiver.
"Okay, see you in half an hour. Jacob lifted his palm and wiped the embarrassment from the corner of his eye.
Anna nodded, "Okay, see you in half an hour." ”
Hope covered her mouth so tightly that tears completely blurred her vision, and the whole world was shrouded in a hazy and blurry halo, and she couldn't even tell whether it was happiness or bitterness. The intense longing crossed the Atlantic, across the North American continent, from London to Los Angeles, and through the big screen, from the movie to the bottom of her heart.
She could deeply feel the bond between the two of them.
William fell silent, all irritability, all impatience, all contempt vanished. The mad love bound the two young men together, and like a moth to a flame, hot and intense, pure and innocent, it struck him in the heart fiercely.
Anna was lying on the bed, holding her phone, crying with joy, and the next second, Jacob was lying next to her, and the two of them were laughing and playing, Jacob was like a child, lying on Anna and unwilling to get up, Anna's silver bell-like laughter kept echoing in the room.
It's such a simple picture, but the tip of William's tongue can taste the taste of happiness, his vision is slightly blurred, he quickly raised his hand, wiped it off in a panic, and then regained his composure, he stiffened his neck, looking at the big screen stiffly, not daring to turn his head, lest his embarrassment be seen by others.
The two of them were so happy that even the laughter brightened. But soon, the atmosphere was mixed with a hint of bitterness again, and Jacob half-jokingly asked, "Have you seen any other men during this time?" The topic silenced both of them, and Anna threw the same question back, and Jacob chose to avoid it.
Neither was willing to answer. In the space of two months, things seem to have quietly changed. But they soon decide to ignore these annoying things and focus on the present moment, on the happiness and joy that belongs to them.
Anna received the courier, it was from the United States - Jacob sent "Anna's chair" and placed it in front of Anna's desk, and Anna danced in circles like a child.
Anna brought Jacob into her life, and in a short period of time, things changed a lot, she met new friends, she started a new job, even her parents changed a lot, he couldn't fit into her topic at all, everyone was asking about their future, everyone was asking why he couldn't move to London, everyone was talking about Anna's possibility of emigrating, everyone was worried about whether they would be able to go on like this......
The world of two people is no longer just two people, and there are too many miscellaneous things in their lives. She owns her life, he carves out his world, from Los Angeles to London, for him, it's just a vacation, and for her, it's just a temporary respite from life.
The two of them snuggled tightly together, but the distance between the two of them was widening little by little. The fatal flaws caused by space and time are clearly laid out in front of them, but they are powerless. This feeling of powerlessness dragged them by their ankles and slowly fell into the abyss.
When Jacob left London and returned to Los Angeles, they both returned to their lives.
Hope didn't react, she didn't react, she didn't even feel sad at the moment.
However, when she saw Jacob's face full of happiness and turned around, thinking that the person behind her was Anna, but she didn't want to see a strange face, those eyes slowly dimmed, and she clearly saw that happiness fell apart, gradually swallowed up by loneliness, and then returned to calm, and finally accepted the fact that he and she were no longer together.
Suddenly, Hope's tears burst into the banks.
