"Happy birthday!"

Everyone toasted and cheered together, and several wine glasses touched each other, making a crisp "ding ding" sound.

Letty's face was full of smiles. She took a big sip and moistened her throat before saying: "Although it's strange to hear this sentence two months after my birthday, I am very grateful to everyone who sacrificed themselves for a night to come. Here with me."

"What are you talking about, we owe you this." Lima smiled at her, and then yelled melancholy, "Ah, 20 years old—what a beautiful age..."

Three black lines slid down Letty's forehead, "My dear, you are only 25, don't say such old lady words."

The sky of Malibu, which is far away from the urban area, is full of stars, and the weeds are blown by breezes. The villas located on the edge of the cliff are brightly lit, and there are bursts of laughter.

"That's right, I'm still in front of you." Giselle said half-jokingly.

"Hey, you guys are too much! Have you ever thought about my feelings?" Angela said dissatisfiedly, she is the oldest here, talking about her age in front of her is too hurtful!

"Angela, you are already a mother, of course you don't have to worry." KK echoed.

"What?! Don't tell me that you are worried that you will not find a good man. This is the most ridiculous topic I have ever heard. The men who chase you can go to New York from here." American supermodel With unbelievable eyes, a group of Victoria's Secret angels are worried about not being able to find a partner? !What a "luxury" annoyance!It's as ridiculous as rich people saying they're bothered because they have too much money to spend.

But Alexandra shook her head, expressing her feelings deeply: "It would be great if it were really that simple. It's one thing to have no shortage of suitors, but it's another time to find someone who will accompany you forever. thing."

It is indeed a very cool thing to date supermodels and supermodels, it is the dream of every man, but after actually dating them, they will find that it is not as beautiful as they imagined - being followed by paparazzi at any time, without privacy, to bear The pressure of public opinion... not everyone can bear it.

"Leeticia, thank you for inviting us to this party." A group of people whom Leticia didn't know came to thank her. These people were all employees of Victoria's Secret. Last night, Leticia invited us publicly at the after-show party. include them.

They were grateful to her from the bottom of their hearts—Iron Man's party?If it weren't for Leticia, they wouldn't be able to participate in it for the rest of their lives!This experience is enough for them to blow for several years!

"It's nothing, everyone worked hard yesterday." She smiled.

Even though she knew that there would be a very long period of time in the future-even that she would never see these people again, Letty still had a friendly chat with them.

Her attitude towards the staff has always been very polite. Given her current status, she doesn't need to please these people, but sometimes it doesn't mean that only benefits can drive herself to be nice to others. This is a habit Lin Haiyi has cultivated since she was a child—of course , if she has no other considerations behind her back then it's bullshit, if she leaves some gossip because of her bad attitude, these gossips don't seem to be worth noting, but when their number reaches a certain level Sometimes it can still have a certain impact, especially in this era of advanced Internet, it is too easy to discredit a person.

On the contrary, it is easy to praise someone. A makeup artist who used to work with Letty previously posted a photo of the two of them on Facebook, praising her as an approachable "good boy". There is only one such post. Two can't make any waves, but what if there are ten or twenty? The image of "friendly star" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people unconsciously, just like Keanu Reeves.

Of course, he is really a warm man, and he didn't deliberately create such an image, and Letty, half and half.

"Sorry, excuse me." Letty, who didn't want to socialize anymore, politely said to them and left the crowd.

She quietly left the party, pushed open the glass door, and went outside. Letty, who wanted to go out to take a breath, saw an unexpected person here—the owner of the mansion, leaning on the railing and facing the sea. The man turned his head when he heard the sound of walking, and then showed an expression exactly like hers.

"How did you come here?" Letty walked over and asked.

"I should be the one asking you this question. Why did Shou Xing run out alone?" Tony turned around, facing her and leaning against the railing.

Letty glanced at the room, and the people inside didn't seem to notice that she was gone. She was having fun, she shrugged and looked back, "It doesn't matter if I'm inside."

Tony's tone was flat, but he said surprisingly: "The people inside are all your friends, but you don't seem to want to go back inside."

Letty took a deep look at him, "Please don't try to expose me, I still want to stay away from this circle for a few moments."

The man raised his eyebrows with interest, "Then why did you invite them?"

"Because that was your proposal, and I think what you said is very reasonable. After this separation, it is possible..."

"No, that's just your gregariousness at play," Tony cut her off.

The brunette's thin body froze, and she slowly looked away.

Tony Stark seems to be indifferent to everyone and everything, and only cares about himself, but in fact he is very delicate - Letty silently added this evaluation for him in his heart.

He was right, and he hit the nail on the head—on the one hand, Letty wanted to escape from the circle because of physical and mental exhaustion, but on the other hand, she had to force herself to fit in.

In this part of the fashion world, you can't survive on your own, and isolation doesn't work because it's full of enemies who want to kill you, like Miranda now, Daphne before.And the same kind—that is, Giselle and the others can give her shelter, or in other words, shelter each other. They live the same life, understand each other, support each other, and form a small circle of protection.

So this party, not so much as a chance to enjoy a rare time together with friends, but rather to cement their bond, because she is afraid of being isolated, and when there is danger, misfits always Will be the first to bear the brunt.

"Very contradictory, isn't it?" For a long time, she said in a self-deprecating tone.

"It's normal, imagine yourself as a freshman in college, you are actively involved in various activities, in order to find classmates who will help you get A grades in the next four years, don't think too complicated, our ancestors survived like this It came down." Tony analyzed casually, but there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

She questioned: "Really? Why didn't I see this quality in you."

"That's because I'm strong enough to protect myself without relying on others."

"I don't agree, no matter how powerful a person is, they need friends, like - Batman and Robin, Captain America and his friends..."

"Why do you keep giving examples that I don't like?" Tony looked at her with dissatisfied eyes, "Superman doesn't need a small follower, because he is strong enough, and I am the same-look, Batman and Captain America Can't fly, me and Superman can."

Letty: "..."

It can't be compared like this, can it? !

"You can't always fight alone." She frowned at him and said, "Aren't you making new battle suits all the time? Why don't you give them to someone you can trust? For example, Mr. Rhodes?"

"I don't need teammates." Tony stretched out his finger and tapped on the glowing reactor on his chest, his tone was unquestionable, "I won't hand over my battle suit to anyone, I can maintain world peace by myself. "

"Why do I feel that this sentence is a bit familiar." Letty looked at the man with strange eyes.

"Because I said the same thing to those stupid MPs in the House."

Aha, Tony didn't say that she almost forgot. Six months after Tony announced his Iron Man identity, he went to Washington to participate in a congress. The senator regarded "Iron Man" as a weapon and asked him to hand over his identity. He took out his battle clothes, but was rejected by Tony, leaving the sentence "I alone can maintain world peace" and left gracefully.

Letty didn't say anything, just sighed softly, and drank half of the champagne in his hand.

They stared at the dark sea in silence. The waves beat violently against the cliffs, as if they would rush to swallow them up at any moment. The dry cool breeze of Malibu gently caressed their cheeks. The noise floated over faintly.

After a while, Tony asked casually, "Why do you want to escape?"

"I don't want to escape, I just want to take a breath once in a while." The brunette girl rarely showed fatigue, put her hands on the railing, and leaned her whole body up, "I'm tired, Tony, sometimes I don't even Know what you're doing."

Maybe it's rare for someone to listen to me talking. Letty couldn't stop after opening the topic box, and said in a slightly nasal voice: "I like the identity of a model, but I hate this kind of life. What do they ask me to wear? I can wear whatever I want, I can say whatever I want, and I can even hang out with whoever I want, manipulating my life... I work hard, get money, status, and fame, but in the end life is more and more difficult. It's getting harder, it's not what I want, but it's part of the job."

On the one hand, she loves this job, but on the other hand, she is deeply involved in the contradictions brought about by this job-truth and lies, freedom and bondage, enthusiasm and boredom... If this continues, her enthusiasm will only slowly She was polished, but she couldn't easily give up all this hard-won, so she could only endure the pressure and live like a dead body.

Tony was silent for a moment, and then said with deep meaning: "Maybe what you need is something that can support you to go on, or a life regulator."

Letty looked at him faintly, "Support me? It's easy for you to say, where can I find it?"

"For example—" The man stared straight at the black-haired girl's exquisite face, his eyes burning, he hesitated to speak, "For example—"

With that sentence stuck in his throat, Tony closed his mouth under the puzzled gaze of the brunette girl.

——No, you can't be so selfish, you won't live long, this is not a good time.

——But maybe there will be no chance in the future, is it really that difficult to move your mouth?

The two voices struggled in their hearts, and Tony realized that he was not ready yet, and was about to pretend that nothing had happened, and bicker with her like usual.

Do what you love with the people you love.

The plain words of the AI ​​steward suddenly rang in his ears.

Prepare?No, he doesn't have that time anymore.

He took a step forward, "Little Honey, I—"

"What's on your neck?" Letty approached him suspiciously, because Tony took a step forward and entered the range of the light, which allowed her to see clearly the blood vessels or veins floating on the man's neck, showing Unnaturally mauve, a bit scary at first glance, she reached out to touch him.

Tony dodged immediately, and pulled the neckline a little higher, "You read it wrong, or, you drank too much."

"Hey, I didn't drink much at all, I can't be mistaken." Letty said dissatisfiedly, insisting on seeing what happened.

"Your drinking capacity is worse than I imagined. I don't have any tattoos on my body. You are wrong."

"Nonsense, I drink very well! Let me see, even if you secretly get a tattoo, I won't make fun of you..."

"That would be such a shame I wouldn't get a tattoo, ahah - your friends are looking for you, it's time for you to go back."

"Don't try to change the subject!"

In the confusion, Tony grabbed Letty's extended wrist, and suddenly blurted out, "If you want, I can be the driving force for you to go on."

"...What?" Letty was completely stunned.

——Finally said it.

Well, it doesn't seem that difficult?

Tony pulled the brunette girl closer to him, feeling the urge to pull her into his arms, but he held back and raised his eyebrows, "Comeon! You said you liked me before."

"That was before!" Letty retorted subconsciously, and it took a few seconds to react, "Wait a minute, you are serious."

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Tony blinked innocently.

"I...you..." Because she was too shocked, Letty stammered and couldn't speak a word.

He stared at the person in front of him with extremely serious eyes, and Letty saw herself at a loss in these clear caramel-colored eyes. Their distance was so close that she could feel the ups and downs of each other's breathing, she subconsciously She wanted to break free, but the man still held her tightly.

Tony said word by word, breathing fast but firm and unwavering: "Miss Leticia López Oliveira, I like you."

The brunette just stared at him for half a minute, she looked very calm, even abnormally calm.Suddenly, Letty stuffed the empty champagne glass into Tony's hand without saying a word, then turned around and left, and disappeared after a while, leaving only one sentence: "I'll be back soon."

Tony: "..." What is this?He was rejected? ?

After confirming that she was out of Tony's sight range, Letty ran to a deserted place as if in a hurry, took out her cell phone with trembling hands, and dialed a number.

The bell rang for about ten seconds, and Letty kept walking back and forth, anxiously muttering "answer the phone" in her heart, and finally, just before she was about to hang up, the call was connected.

Before the person on the other end of the phone could speak, Letty spoke like a cannonball: "Bruce! Thank God you answered the phone, you won't believe what I'm going to say next—Tony confessed his love to me! God Ah, what should I do?!"

Batman who was punching Mudface and kicking Freeze: "..."

The author has something to say: When you encounter relationship problems, of course you should talk to your best friend

Master: Did you call here specifically for this? ? ?To feed me dog food? ? ?
