"Don't imitate moths to the night lights..." Like the whispers of the devil at the end of the abyss exploded in his head, Jodie suddenly opened his eyes, and turned his head just to avoid a kiss from Chris.

"What's wrong with you?" Chris looked at her half-supported body with staring eyes, thinking that he had made a fuss with her at night, and tried the temperature on her forehead with the back of his hand.

The wrist was held by Jodie and couldn't get any further, Chris looked at her with some doubts.

"I'm fine," she met Chris's jewel-like eyes, which flickered as if hesitant, "That's it."

"It's fine, do you want to--"

"I say that's it."

"You----regret it?" Chris finally heard the weirdness in her tone, she got up from Jodie, knelt and sat on the side of the chuáng bunk, waiting for Jodie's further explanation.

"Chris, you weren't so unlucky before." Jodie sat up and wrapped herself in a thin blanket, staring at Chris with a calm expression on his face.

"It's just a one-night relationship, as long as you like it." Chris couldn't tell how he felt at this moment, and countless words spun around his mouth a few times, and the only thing left was this sentence deliberately pretending not to care The show off.

She originally wanted to vent her resentment on the door, but when the door was still a few miles away from the door frame, she raised her hand against it and slowly closed the door.She has already passed the age when she was young and frivolous, she would vent her anger through external objects at will.

"There has never been anyone who is indispensable." Chris thought so, and then booked the fastest flight back to California.

Even after being in the industry for so many years, Jodie is still a good girl who is self-denying and courteous. She doesn't smoke, drink too much, has no casual contacts, and never even stays out at night.The impulsive actions last night were too crazy for her, so much so that she just got up to find a pajamas and her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand up.

The small bowl of fish porridge left in the refrigerator was completely cold; the tableware in the dishwasher was dried and held in the palm of the hand, and the temperature was extraordinarily warm and suitable; Jodie pushed the window open, the snow stopped, and the whiteness outside the window was dazzling , The cold wind blows in to dilute the smell of sex in the bedroom, and there seems to be no trace of Chris's presence.

Except for the dark red hickeys she left on her body.

Jodie suddenly felt a little regretful, she felt that she was not even as good as the moth in the dream, at least it still had light and heat for a moment.And she just circled around the fire, and finally pushed the fire away completely when the tongue of fire came over.

Jodie woke up from the state of trance when the phone dinged, and she clicked on the mailbox, only to find that it was just a work email asking her to finish the script as soon as possible.

Re-opening the word document in the laptop and the material folder filled with pictures and videos, the accumulation of more than half a year's collection of wind and rain broke through the temporary depression in her chest. "It's not that I can't live without a person." Jodie returned to work with her laptop in her hand. After all, she was not at the age when her work was affected by emotional problems.

Even though the preliminary preparations have been sufficient, it was already March of another year when the script was sent back and revised over and over again, and was finally stamped with the "approved" label.

Even though it's not like life can't go on without someone, but Jodi still finds that Chris appears more and more frequently when his mind is empty.This is not only because Chris, as the established heroine of the script, needs Jodie to ask her for advice when creating, but also because Jodie finds that he likes her far more than he thought.

Because I miss you, you will appear, such an idealistic coincidence, Jodie wonders if she will be lucky enough to meet again.

"Jodie, what are you afraid of?" Chris's question hit her heart hard that night. She never felt inferior to her own charm, and she never felt that she was not worthy of Chris in any way.

She thought that the source of the matter might be the signed papers with unclear meanings in Japan, and Jodie, who wanted to understand this, suddenly felt that she was so ridiculous.She, who didn't even believe in God, was trapped in such a signed document that was not translated neatly.

"The draft of "Stars" is finished, let Chris come back and try the play to see if there are any details to be revised." Jodie sent the work email to the boss's mailbox.Since she misses her, then invite her to come.

Every time Chris thinks about Jodie in the past few months, he always feels more and more frustrated. Over the years, she has never been the only one who broke up or ended a relationship.It was the first time for her to hear the person in her arms say "that's it" as soon as she woke up that morning. Chris's pride made her never give up emotionally. She went back to Los Angeles in anger, waiting for Jodie Regret that day.

But until it snowed three times in New York, and until most of the United States had already entered spring, she still didn't wait for Jodie to show any regrets.Even when work requires communication, Jodie doesn't have any abnormalities, as if that night was just a beautiful dream that Chris imagined alone.

Chris still believes that there is no indispensable person in life, and she thinks that all she needs is a new relationship.And as long as she is willing, there will never be a shortage of people around her, no matter if it is a man or a woman.

But when she armed herself and walked to the corner of Bar Street in the red light district, she still hesitated. Chris wasn't sure what kind of person she really wanted. She leaned against the street lamp and lit a cigarette. In the curling smoke, she remembered Jodie's soft body and that moist kiss; The whispers in my ears; and the sticky love that seemed to be endless that night.

No one is indispensable, but if there is no Jodie, every day in the future will lack a lot of hope. Chris thought that this might be the fate of the legend, she raised her eyes and finally glanced at the red light district in front of her, crushed the cigarette butt in her hand into the trash can, and left without looking back.

She knew that if she took a step forward, then she and Jodie would really have no chance.

"I heard that the final draft of "Stars" is about to be handed over. I want to go back and perform it to see the effect." The news was sent to Lemon, who was surprised. to her mailbox.

Chapter 20 Chapter 20

After sending the email for a few days, there was no result. Jodie couldn't wait to ask her boss about the follow-up, but all she got was a reply of "see Chris's schedule".As an actor who used to be of the same rank, Jodie naturally knows that Chris's free time is not something he can have, especially after he suddenly retired from acting.

"You two are quite familiar, why don't you go directly to California to find her."

"That's against the rules."

The audition approval regulations in the company were too complicated, and not many people actually followed the steps step by step, not to mention that this time Jodie was just doing a private audition after the lead role was decided. Jodie thought this was a way, so while re-exporting the editor-in-chief hastily and perfunctorily, she opened the webpage of the laptop and searched for the recent flights to California.

There was a prompt sound when entering the password at the outer door, and Jodie closed the lid of the laptop and leaned on the railing of the stairs to look down. He just saw Chris open the door and walk in, with a bit of disbelief on his face.

"You don't want to change the password?" Chris put on slippers at the door and hung up the windbreaker jacket with ease. She looked up at Jodie who was still on the second floor with an uncontrollable smile on her lips.

"I've been working on manuscripts at home, and I forget when I'm busy." It's not that Jodie is stubborn, but she really forgot because she's too busy these days, "Why are you here?"

"lemon asked me to read the manuscript."

"Sit on the sofa, I'll go upstairs and get it for you." Such a business-like statement made Jodie a little frustrated, but after thinking about it, she was the one who rejected Chris first, and she lost her temper.

"Choose a section and try it yourself?" A stack of A4 papers was placed on the coffee table in front of Chris, and Jodie sat on the sofa on the other side and picked up an orange toss to divert his attention so that he didn't have to keep staring at Chris Preoccupied.
