95、出游(5) 常斐然一路 ...

  •   常斐然一路尾随Pukia来到了一个华贵的建筑前,目送她走进了大门。

      估摸着她差不多已经上了楼,他也走到了门口,不经意地向里望了望,却正巧和什么人对到了眼神。他赶紧慌张看向别处,不料那个人却从里面走了出来。

      一开始常斐然以为是一个男生,因“他”梳着利落的短发且又身材挺拔。可等到“他”一张口发出了像未变声小男孩的声音时,他才意识到眼前站着的是一个女孩子。

      女孩:“Can I help you?(我有什么能帮你的吗?)”

      常斐然:“I… I’m a tourist. I want to spend a night here at the hotel.(我... 我是一个游客。我想要在这个酒店留宿一晚。)”

      女孩:“This is not a hotel. This a private property. I have to ask you to leave, sir.(这不是酒店,这是私人住宅。我需要请你离开,先生。)”

      常斐然:“Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that. Do you... do you happen to have any hotel recommendations nearby? I’m such a stranger here.(哦,对不起,我不知道。你... 你知道这附近有什么宾馆可以推荐码?我对这儿太陌生了。)”

      女孩:“I don’t, sorry sir. You have to leave.(我不知道,对不起先生。你需要离开了。)”

      这应该就是Moonlive(月团乐团)的根据地,那人的后宫;可不是吗,连“警卫”都是一个女孩子。

      常斐然走回到Silver Orb(明玉轮),又从原处翻墙进去,换上了不得不携带了一路的黑袍,抱着换下的衣服直奔回羊圈。

      还没等完全走进,他就瞥见了一个意想不到的身影——Sophia.

      他既震惊又尴尬。

      Sophia:“You are back.(你回来啦。)”

      常斐然:“Ah… yeah.(啊... 对。)”

      Sophia:“How's the trip?(玩儿得怎么样?)”

      ...

      Sophia:“You guys saw me right?(你们应该看见我了吧。)”

      常斐然:“Uh...”

      Sophia:“But you didn’t stay nor help.(但是你们既没停留也没帮我。)”

      常斐然:“That's- that's not how it is. We got tied up by two of the Moonlord’s old professors...(不是那样的。我们被月主的两个老教授给纠缠住了...)”

      Sophia:“Whom I successfully distracted to save your asses?(然后我成功地分散了他们注意力救了你们?)”

      常斐然:“Right, wait, what?(对,等一下,什么?)”

      Sophia:“Yeah, I went through all the trouble to get you guys off the hook. Gotta cover for your escapade. It was Oscar-winning level of play, was it not?(对呀,我费尽周章把你们给解救出来了。要给你们的私会打掩护啊。那简直是奥斯卡级别的表演,不是吗?)”

      常斐然:“What? It’s all planed?The whole dog story?(什么?这全是计划的吗?那个狗的事?)

      Sophia:“Genius huh?(天才吧?)”

      常斐然:“It’s all acting? What about the seller? Is he also part of the play?(全是演戏吗?那那个狗贩子吗?他也是剧情的一部分吗?)”

      Sophia:“Nah. Here's the whole story: I ran into you this morning with those old profs. I knew who they were, they came here like a month ago to raise hell—calling Moonlord a liar and swearing they'd rescue everyone inside. I knew you guys were in trouble. I was just figuring out how to help you when I saw a dead dog by the curb. That's when I had the whole story. Pretty good, huh? All original, completely improvised.(不,事情是这么回事:今早我撞见你们和那两个老教授在一起,我一眼就认出他们是谁了。大概一个月前,他们就跑来这儿大闹了一场——骂月主是个骗子,还发誓要把里面的所有人都救出去。所以我一看到他们就知道你们有麻烦了。我正想怎么帮你们的时候,看见马路牙子边有只死狗,于是就心生一计,有了这么一个故事。怎么样,还不错吧,全是原创,还是即兴发挥。)”

      常斐然听得目瞪口呆。

      常斐然:“Then how was it settled?(那最后是怎么谈妥的?)”

      Sophia:“We just talked it out.(我们就谈开了啊。)”

      看着常斐然不可思议的眼神,她噗嗤一声笑出来,转而才说——

      Sophia:“I compensated the dog dealer, for emotional distress.(我赔给那个狗贩子钱了。精神损失费。)”

      常斐然:“And that's it?(就这样?)”

      Sophia:“That's it. Everyone's happy, including the profs.(就这样。所有人都很开心,教授也是一样。)”

      常斐然:“Did you apologize?(你道歉了吗?)”

      Sophia:“Yeah, the money did that. Do you know how many dogs he needs to sell to get that much money? It's his lucky day. He even thanked me.(钱道了。你知道他得卖多少只狗才能赚这么多钱吗?今天算他走狗屎运。他还谢谢我呢。)”

      常斐然无语。

      Sophia:“I’ve been a little bottled up lately, this is exactly what I needed—losing my mind a little. I feel so much better now. Just helping you guys would never give me this sense of satisfaction.(最近我有点儿憋闷,这正是我所需要的——耍了一段疯,果然感觉有所释放,心情感觉好多了。我要是光解救你们可没有这样的满足感。)”

      常斐然:“OK...(好吧...)”

      Sophia:“How are you gonna thank me? I did you guys a huge favor——I covered your sorry asses, I got you out of a hot mess. I'm not expecting anything from Pukia, but you, what can you do for me?(所以你打算怎么谢我?我帮了你们这么大忙。帮你们掩盖私自外出不说,还给你们解了一个大围。Pukia那边我不指望了,但是你,你能为我做什么呢?)”

      常斐然:“I… I don’t know.(我... 我不知道。)”

      Sophia:“That's fine. I'll put it on your tab for now. I'll let you know when I need you.(行吧,那就先记着,什么时候我需要你了再说。)”

      常斐然真是欲哭无泪了。他到底天天在这里干什么呀?陈添然找不着不说,反倒是欠了这么多人情债,真可谓是欠完她的欠她的,什么时候是个头啊!

      他觉得自己就像是一个任人操纵的小傀儡。若是说在娱乐圈的不得已至少还是有舍有得;这里的潜规则简直就是不讲道理、也不讲规则!
