"What are you talking about? Sister Wang, she's not there?"

On the eighth floor of Dile Building, Hawke looked depressedly at Liu Sanhao, the little assistant standing in front of him.

Liu Sanhao pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and lowered his head and said, "Sister Wang is sick and has taken a week off." ”

I wasn't very good at my birthday party yesterday, so why did I suddenly ask for leave?

Originally, Hawke wanted to come to Wang Jie with some resentment and ask why he didn't tell him about Keggs' birthday wishes yesterday, but he didn't expect to pounce.

Thinking of the man who claimed to be the new agent of the Menglong men's group in the training room this morning, and then looking at the inexplicable expression of the little assistant in front of him, Hawke felt that things were not so simple.

"Oh, then you are busy first, and I will look for her when Sister Wang comes back. Hawke left the eighth floor with a word.

There's no way, there are too many things, and he can't afford to talk to the assistant anymore.

This morning, I tried my best to send a scarf to share the audition with fans, blurring the specific time point, hoping to fool the past without affecting my credibility.

Not long after the scarf was sent, the crew of "Love In" passed Hawke's script to him to prepare in advance, and he was going to London to shoot in early November, and he didn't have time to think about anything else.

There are only two weeks left before the start of filming, and he, the male protagonist, doesn't know who the heroine is.

I heard that David's casting has encountered some troubles, and the candidates have not yet been decided.

"But now that the script and start time have been decided, it must have reached the last step over there. ”

......

With Yang Tian, the temporary assistant last time, and Zhang Mei, a staff member of the legal department, Hawke and his party arrived in Britain a week before the crew started filming.

Not long after checking into the hotel, Hawke received a call from Jennifer Wang.

"Hey, Xiao Ke, is the journey going well?" said Jennifer on the other end of the phone to greet Hawke in fluent Chinese.

"Well, it only took nine hours for the plane to come directly this time, and I have already checked into the Four Seasons Hotel," Hawke said to Jennifer as he sorted his luggage, "Thank you Sister Pujia for your concern." ”

Wang 蒹葭, this is the Chinese name given to her by Jennifer Wang's husband, taken from the "Book of Poetry" "蒹葭 pale, white dew is frost." ”

After Hawke contacted her a few weeks ago, Jennifer told Hawke that she could call her by her Chinese name in private, which was more cordial.

"That's great," said the other on the phone, "do you have time tomorrow night? My husband and I want to ask you out for dinner." ”

"Of course there is no problem, after the location is confirmed, Sister Pujia can send me the address. ”

"Okay, let's just have a casual meal, not as formal as last time, you dress casually," Jennifer said, "and we'll have a good talk tomorrow." ”

Four people? How can you count only three?

"Four people?" asked Hawke, puzzled, "Is Director David coming too?"

"No," Jennifer asked in a joking tone, "Don't you want to meet who our heroine is?"

Of course I want to, otherwise I would be embarrassed to have dinner with other couples.

Without waiting for Hawke to answer, Jennifer continued, "Do you know Lily Pauline?"

The name was familiar, and Hawke thought back to it and guessed who Jennifer was talking about.

"Elizabeth's secret supermodel?" Hawke asked in a puzzled tone to prevent duplicate names.

"Well, that's right," Jennifer said with a smile, "what's going on, is this girl pretty?"

Of course it's beautiful, and it's not ordinary!

Although she is only 172 cm, she is a model who has won the endorsement of top underwear brands with her perfect figure, excellent hard photo expression and a muse-like face.

Hawke remembers that when he was a freshman, he watched the Elizabeth lingerie show with his roommates, and Lily, as the closing model, was amazing!

It's just that the other party seems to be 28 years old this year, and he is in a seductive style, is it really suitable for the role of the heroine of a college student in "Love"?

Or can the other party's makeup and acting skills make up for everything?

But in any case, the side face in his mind has already made Hawke full of anticipation.

"It was a real privilege for me to have the opportunity to work with Miss Pauline. Pressing down on the slightest doubt about the other party's personality, Hawk said to Jennifer very openly.

There was a burst of laughter from the other side, and then Jennifer was heard say, "But I'm afraid you won't have that chance this time." ”

What's the situation? If Jennifer didn't have a chance, it was a joke to talk to herself so much about it for a long time.

Hey, I'm happy to be in vain.

It seemed that she could guess Hawke's reaction, and Jennifer stopped selling it off, and quickly said: "The heroine is another girl from Pauline's family, Lily's sister, Jocelyn Pauline." ”

Jocelyn Pauline, the name Hawke heard for the first time, and it was the first time he knew that Lily had a sister.

"Rest well, I'll see her tomorrow. Jennifer left this sentence lightly and hung up the phone.

......

At six o'clock in the evening, Hawke arrived at the agreed place to eat on time.

It's a small restaurant called Picture, with only seven or eight tables and an empty stage in the upper left corner.

Upon entering, the Gothic architecture, crystal chandeliers and light candles give the restaurant a sense of tranquility and serenity.

Hawke saw Jennifer at a glance.

Jennifer, who was dressed in regular clothes, leaned over and pulled the Chinese man next to her, who was about the same age and a little fat, and laughed.

Facing away from Hawke's gaze was a girl with blond hair and a beige turtleneck.

She simply coiled up her head and sat quietly like that.

Jennifer saw Hawke, beckoned him over, and said in Huaxia, "You came at the right time, this is my husband Wang Yun." ”

After briefly greeting Jennifer and Wang Yun, Jennifer took Hawke's left hand and made him turn around, and then said in English, "This is our heroine, Jocelyn Pauline." ”

Joselin stood up, the height was just up to Hawke's shoulder, and then she said lightly: "Hello, Mr. Huo, I'm Joceline, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Hawke replied awkwardly and kissed Jocelyn's right hand in understanding before he had time to really look at the girl in front of him.

She was very young, eighteen or nineteen years old;

Her eyes are slightly wider, but they match the narrow eyebrow distance, European-style double eyelids, and turquoise pupils;

Her neck and sleeves are long, especially like a ballerina's posture, and she perfectly controls the turtleneck;

The nose, mouth, etc., look normal.

But this was enough, and the girl in front of him, Hawke, felt that one word was the most appropriate to describe - ethereal.

......

The appetizer for dinner is carrot juice and vegetable salad.

The waiters presented four index finger-sized glasses filled with half of the orange-red steaming broth.

If Jennifer hadn't drunk it for the demonstration, Hawke would have thought it was a condiment like chili sauce.

After taking a sip, a faint sweet taste wafted in his mouth, and Hawk looked at Jocelyn, and after a little nervousness, asked, "It is my pleasure to meet Miss Pauline for the first time." ”

"Just call me Joe," Jocelyn folded her hands on the table, "I should have called Mr. Huo 'Ke' according to British custom, but I don't feel particularly used to pronouncing it." ”

Hawke smiled and said, "You can just call me Hawke, just like the English pronunciation." ”

"Hawk?" Jocelyn raised an eyebrow, "Hawk?"

Hawke nodded.

"What an interesting name. After José finished speaking, he repeated it to himself.

Seeing a momentary pause in the conversation between the two, the experienced Jennifer picked up the knife in her right hand, smeared butter on the bread and said, "Don't just chat, try this toast, it's very delicious." ”

Jocelyn thanked Jennifer, then picked up the smallest piece of bread and took a bite, then said to Hawke, "So Hawke, where are you from?"

"Shangjing, the capital of China," Hawke replied simply and clearly, "I have been growing up in Shangjing since I was born, and I am ashamed to say that I have not been to many places in China." ”

Hawke took a sip of ice water and added, "Joe, you don't seem to be from London, I don't quite like your accent. ”

Jocelyn nodded: "I'm from Manchester, but I went to university near London. ”

"Which school?"

"Cambridge, which started last year, studied poetry and art. A hint of pride flashed across Jocelyn's face, and it was a boast to be able to get into Cambridge University.

"That's really amazing!" Hawk gave a thumbs up, and then said with a look of regret, "College life is really very good, but unfortunately I didn't have time after becoming an artist, so I had to take a temporary leave of absence." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry. Jocelyn was instantly apologetic when she heard about Hawke's suspension.

Seeing her frowning slightly, Hawke felt a little unbearable, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, in fact, there are a lot of happy things after being an artist, I recently joined a boy group and have held several concerts." ”

After hearing the words "concert", Jocelyn suddenly became interested: "Really! Tell me what kind of performance you will perform at the concert?"

The two chatted quite tacitly, and for a while they forgot that there was an old couple and wife next to them.

After a two-course meal of veal and flounder as the main course, the four took a break while waiting for dessert.

Wang Yun, who was a little blessed, stood up, and then nodded slightly to Joselin and said, "Joe, do you mind accompanying me, an old man, to dance in the middle?"

Jocelyn happily said that it was her honor, and took Wang Yun's hand and walked towards the stage.

The music of the waltz sounded, and some diners joined in the dance.

Hawke sat in the old place drinking ice water, watching the girl with a swan's neck not far away spinning gracefully in circles.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?"

Hawke, who was pulled back into her thoughts by Jennifer, nodded reflexively.

"Joceline's father was a famous illustrator in Britain, and her mother was French, leading an excellent ballet company," Jennifer said slowly, "and the first time we saw her at the audition, we were sure that the role of Selina belonged to her." ”

......

Dinner ends at eight o'clock.

Jennifer took Wang Yun's hand and said to Hawke, "Let's go back first, Hawke, Joe has to go back to Cambridge, do you mind taking Joe to the train station?"

"Of course not, it's my pleasure. Hawke said as he looked at Jocelyn, who was a little reddish.

"Then we'll go, see you next week. ”

After seeing Jennifer and the others get into the car, Hawke said to Joseline, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm. ”
