Chapter 122
The climate in New York in May is relatively comfortable, especially when we saw the long-lost sunshine early this morning, so there are people in all kinds of clothes on the street.
As a pseudo-girl with a strong sense of cold protection—especially after experiencing the filming of the Titanic—Qiao Qian wrapped herself tightly as usual, put on light makeup, put on a hat and a mask, and then went out fully armed. Door.
The security uncle at the downstairs door gave her a kind smile, and stepped forward to open the glass door for her: "Are you going on a date, Xiao Qiao?"
"I'm going to visit the university." Josie replied with a smile, "Thanks!"
"Oh, I wish you all the best today!"
"I wish you too!" Josie waved her hand.
With a backpack on her back, Josie is wearing a white T, a flannel check shirt, a gray zipper jacket and jeans, and she doesn't seem to be much different from college students on the streets of New York.
There are already a lot of glamorous street photos of celebrities on the Internet, but most of the time, their public relations pay for them, and some people will even buy out the photos in the future and edit them before posting them to ensure their street photos. The photo is consistent with the image on the social network.
Moreover, the atmosphere in New York is more comfortable than that of Los Angeles, where celebrities are everywhere. This city is very inclusive, but it also appears relatively cold and lonely.
Josie took a taxi to the agreed place, but was told that the road ahead was closed and she had to drive one street away to get off.
She had to get out of the car.
Many people say that New York University does not have a closed campus, and that the entire Manhattan is its campus.
So when Josie faced the violet school flags flying all over the street, she sincerely thanked the versatile assistant Kelly, who had arranged for her a guide on the school side in advance.
It's just that now she seems to be temporarily unable to find this guide... because she is a little bit, just a little bit lost.
The Miss Guide asked Josie to find a nearby cafe to wait for her on the phone. Josie chose a Starbucks with a long queue, but she didn't go in, she just waited at the door.
Estimating that it was not too early, she sent a message to Edward who was supposed to be on vacation at home in New York—to the identity of "Miss Robin".
-in New York?Would you like to meet up?
-... a little suddenly.
- I want to see you, don't you want to see me?
-Let me think about it, and I'm not really sure I have the time.
- Don't worry, I'm going to start school in autumn anyway, and I'll have a lot of time to play with you, sweetheart~
- then tonight.
-PJClarke's, 9153rdAve, see you at the old place^^
When an unqualified ex still maintains the contact information of the old lover, then there is a high probability that the old relationship will be unforgettable, and if he has been doing this in a roundabout way, he is 100% unable to extricate himself.
After chatting for 10 minutes, the Hispanic girl named Sunny finally found Josie.
After she came up and introduced herself, she took Josie to visit the unique campus of New York University according to the original plan. New York University is located in a prime location in Lower Manhattan, New York. Most of the teaching buildings are built around Washington Square. The overall atmosphere is very good. Free and diverse.
There are ordinary college students in T-shirts and flannel shirts, as well as Wall Street people in smart suits and elite style who continue their studies. All kinds of races and ages shuttle on the campus of NYU in the downtown area.
"Oh, that's from Stern." Sunny explained to Josie, "The business school has a unique atmosphere, even if you just take an elective class or something, you will be infected by their atmosphere. The specific manifestation is that my friend rarely wears a suit and high heels, and puts on makeup out of politeness. But don’t worry, people here at Tisch are not like this. We are usually quite free, except for choosing courses and doing homework, which is very painful. "Well, you probably don't have to worry about that."
The reason why Sunny said this is that on the one hand, the courses faced by freshmen are relatively easy; on the other hand, a Hollywood star basically does not need to worry about his own practical courses, and no one will not want to offend this A certain future well-known alumni.
I heard that even Josie Horton's letter of recommendation was written by contemporary drama master Arthur Miller—there is no comparison between people.
However, being able to get acquainted with this big Hollywood star first, for a film student like Sunny, is completely beneficial and harmless.
I have to say that Josie Horton is not as arrogant or difficult as she imagined, and she seems to be in a good mood today, and she is full of expectations for her university life ahead.
Sunny acted as a guide with all her heart and soul, her attitude was just right, and she didn't try to leave a contact information at the end, but said goodbye to Josie politely.
This made Josie remember the name of the senior.
When he was about to leave, there was a small episode.
Josie's childhood friend Mark Ronson and his friend Josh Jones appeared at the gate. The former was dressed in a Stern-style Diorhomme and waved at her lazily; the latter was wearing a very rock and roll youth T-shirt The jacket has holes in the jeans, and the shorts are dyed silvery white, attracting the attention of passers-by.
"It's so sad. I didn't see the news of your return until I went online." Mark pretended to be wronged, but opened his arms to Josie.
The pair of friends, who shared the same eccentricity in some way, hugged extremely quickly, barely touching each other's body heat.
"I thought you were in Vassar." Josie joked casually, "So, are you going to join NYU now?"
"Emmm, I just finished the formalities." Mark spread his hands, his tone half-true, and he patted Josh on the shoulder next to him, "Hey, pop star, can you be a little gentleman, come to our dear Ms. Horton said 'Hi'?"
Josh snorted, took off the sunglasses on his face, and put on a handsome and sharp face, but the corners of his mouth curled up: "Hi, Josie, I think we will meet often in the next semester."
"Hey, Josh, have you really changed schools?" Josie was a little surprised.
By the way, the two of them applied together in college to one of the most famous Little Ivy Leagues on the East Coast, Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York.
The artistic atmosphere of this school is quite strong. Hollywood actor Meryl Streep and Lisa Kudrow of "Friends" have all studied at Vassar College.
Mark and Josh nodded shoulder to shoulder.
Mark also deliberately added: "Don't worry, you are not that attractive, but our careers are now in New York-wow, do you know how much we charge for a nightclub performance together?"
Josie rolled her eyes at her pretentious friend, "I only know that your acting skills are really exaggerated, Mark, I hope you won't be tempted to change careers as an actor."
Mark shrugged his shoulders and didn't bother to argue.
Josh quietly deepened the corners of his mouth, and changed the subject and asked, "Where do you live now? It's quite a struggle to come here from Fifth Avenue."
He and Mark rented an apartment in Soho, and Sean would come to stay there when he had time, but Sean is currently working on his debut album and often travels back and forth between New York and Los Angeles.
"From what you said, I really should find a house." Josie thought that Kelly Wilson would also need to come over, so she simply found a three-bedroom house near the school to settle down.
"Soho is good." Josh immediately suggested, "It's very close to our school."
Mark glanced at Josh slowly, and added with a smile: "Don't listen to those people, live in New Jersey, I personally don't think you will like the New York subway. Speaking of which, the apartment opposite us hasn't been taken care of yet. rent it out."
"Well, it sounds reasonable." Jossie noticed the interaction between the two, and smiled lightly: "If you don't mind, maybe we can be neighbors?"
After that, the three of them went to see the house in Soho, and while everyone was free in the afternoon, they went to Broadway to watch a rock musical "Jesus Christ the Superstar".
During the period, Josie and Josh were recognized by a young couple. After signing each other, they quickly left the scene through the backstage passageway. By the way, the Broadway backstage seemed to be connected to another world. Appeared in another theater.
Then, it's time for the long-awaited dinner.
No matter how long he lingered on the road, Edward was standing a little outside the red house in PJ Clarke's anyway.
Josie was already sitting by the window by the wall. She had just taken off her hat and was talking to the waiter with a smile. The unfamiliar short dark hair and the young college student's style were unexpectedly harmonious, and there was also a lack of beauty that belonged to her. The aggressive aggressiveness of pornstars.
However, it is still quite attractive.
Well...he had to admit that he had seen the short film and interview in Vogue, and even bought that issue of the magazine, so he recognized Josie's new look almost immediately.
And he was standing on the side of the street, through the bright glass windows of the restaurant, there was no need to look for it at all, his eyes were ahead of his mind, locking on the target in the restaurant for him.
Josie didn't seem to notice him.
She signed an autograph for the waiter and took a group photo with her. Her attitude was friendly and she still had the charm of a big star. He could fully imagine how she made people feel like a spring breeze.
So, should he go see her?
Although I have experienced countless wavering and negation before coming here, but at this moment, this kind of emotion still emerges without any surprise.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but his heart nailed his feet in place.
And at this time, Josie looked down at the time, then put her chin on her hands rather childishly, as if she was considering whether she should make a call with the mobile phone in front of her, with a worried look on her brows.
Only then did Edward regain his senses.
With a soft sound of Ding Ling, he put his hands in his coat pockets, took a quick look at himself on the glass, and then took the initiative to push open the restaurant door for an old couple, but his steps paused, and he didn't follow immediately. went in.
This restaurant seems to have always been like this.
There are all kinds of New Yorkers sitting at the dark walnut bar. The iconic red and white checkered tablecloths are fresh and lively. Even the steak and baked lobster served by the waiters are very familiar. The whole space is full of excitement. One feels the warmth of the pyrotechnic atmosphere.
A warm yellow ceiling lamp exudes a soft light that is not dazzling.
Everything in front of him was like a movie. His eyes passed through the crowd, and the surrounding things were blurred, only her existence was incomparably clear.
Edward closed his eyes.
Feelings should be an important part of life, but by no means the most important part, at least for him, not.
He tried to meet other people - but couldn't, because unwillingness, jealousy, pain and fear, mixed into the sweetest pill, addictive.
The passing restaurant waiter took a weird look at the customer who was standing in the shadow at the corner of the door, and immediately recognized the face that belonged to Edward Norton.
She couldn't help but turn her head back to find Josie Horton, who she had just served—so, did they start dating again?
Oh, what's up with Josie Horton's new look that's kinda cool?And the cut Edward Norton is also very different from the movie, he is simply a menacing villain, but his affectionate eyes are so interesting now, it can make people think of more than 20 episodes of soap operas.
Brain supplements belong to brain supplements, and work still needs to be done with heart.
The waitress stepped forward and smiled: "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
Edward followed the prestige and shook his head slowly.
Then, he turned and left the restaurant.
