Chapter 424: DC and Marvel (1)
Looking at the girl with beautiful blue eyes in front of him, he felt that he was in love! After attending a comic party, he came to this bookstore to buy some books, and he happened to run into her, and it was even more coincidental that she still liked comics! Doesn't all these coincidences mean that this is a red thread specially pulled by the goddess of fate for him?
"Leila, I don't know what books you're here to buy? I've been here a lot, and if you can't find it, I can take you there. He asked, feigned enthusiasm. God knows how many years ago it was the last time he showed enthusiasm for strangers.
"If you have time. Leila didn't care, she was more than welcome to have someone to hang out with. To be honest, it's really lonely to go shopping alone.
"Of course! Of course there is time! I am idle!" she did not refuse him, and the man was once again overwhelmed with excitement. But he soon found that he seemed to have said something bad, and hurriedly corrected: "No, I'm not idle, I have an event today, so I asked for leave." So I have time!"
He said it was very confusing, and if he used animation to express it, it is estimated that if he opened his skull, he could see the brain boiling into a mess inside.
A beautiful girl who didn't reject him! Can anyone believe in his good luck? He almost thought he was dreaming!
Leila saw his nervousness and smiled slightly, "I see, so can you take me to see the place where the bestsellers are sold? I want to see what other bestsellers have been selling recently." ”
"Okay, no problem. Owen laughed dryly, scolding himself half to death in his heart. Finally, there is a girl who can talk normally, what is he nervous about?
He didn't know that Leila was willing to let him accompany him, mainly because he didn't recognize her. This is also related to the fact that she wears more in winter, bringing a hat and scarf, and changing her usual hairstyle, basically no one will be able to recognize her. And in her opinion, people who like comics usually have a high otaku attribute, so they shouldn't be interested in her, who often appears in the entertainment version.
She was right, Owen really didn't recognize her. Although it is Hollywood, it is likely that anyone caught on the street has the experience of acting in several TV or movie roles, but it does not mean that everyone who looks beautiful is an actor. The main reason is that he doesn't think that there will be celebrities to take care of people like him at all, so he doesn't think about that at all.
In bookstores, it's easy to find bestsellers, and almost as far as you can see from the most prominent position, you can see some display stands stacked with books. Leila stood in front of a display stand, picked up a book and looked at it twice.
Owen peeked at her from the side and felt that she was like a heroine who came out of a comic, she was simply so beautiful, and her every move had an indescribable special temperament. If this is not called love at first sight, he really doesn't know what it is!
"Leila, are you a model?" he finally asked her.
Leila was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "No, I'm not." ”
"And you're an actor?"
"It's not. Leila looked at him and smiled and asked, "Why do you think that?"
Owen smirked and scratched his head: "You are very beautiful, I thought you were also an actor who came to Hollywood to find opportunities." Hearing the negative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. He said, if such a beautiful girl had become an actress, she would have already become famous, so how could she go to a bookstore with a strange man like him who likes comics?
Leila laughed, "I don't have a talent for acting. ”
"But you ......"
"What's wrong with me?" she raised an eyebrow.
Owen was a little embarrassed: "You are very beautiful, you will definitely be popular as a star." ”
"Thank you. "No one would refuse such a sincere compliment, and neither would Leila. In her eyes, the other party is much younger than her, and being said to be beautiful by such a shy boy who looks like a younger brother is naturally something that will make her happy.
It's a pity that poor Roy doesn't know this, and with his temperament, he can praise the women he plays with at will, and he can boast about being the world's number one beauty. But in front of the person he really likes, he completely loses that kind of freedom, and it is probably hopeless to expect him to say something to praise her beauty in front of Leila.
"Lyra, you don't need to stare at the bestsellers if you like to read, and there are many good books that are not popular. Owen gradually relaxed because of her kindness, and began to give her his advice.
Leila agrees, but a bestseller means that there will be a lot of people reading it, and there will be a lot of fans. If you want to adapt a movie, bestsellers are undoubtedly the most suitable objects. However, she looked at it for a while and couldn't find any books that stood out to her, and even if there were one or two good ones, they had already been acquired or were about to be acquired by the company.
"You're right, is there anything worth recommending?"
Owen choked, he really wanted to find a reason to continue shopping with her until she finished reading the bestseller, but it would be difficult for him to ask him what good books he had. He still finds comics much more interesting than books. It's just that if you say such things, won't it damage your image in front of beautiful women too much?
After thinking about it for a while, he said honestly with some embarrassment: "I'm not too interested in books, and if you ask me about comics, I know a lot." That being said, he knew that even girls who didn't hate comics wouldn't be interested in discussing anything with someone like him.
"Cartoons? Not bad. Leila gave him an answer that he definitely didn't expect.
This can make Owen very happy, and after the surprise, he hurriedly lost no time in saying: "This is not a place to talk, I know that there is a coffee nearby that is particularly delicious, if you are interested in comics, how about we sit there and talk?"
Leila looked at her watch, and it was just after three o'clock. So she shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Why not? I just wanted to know more about comics." ”
Owen made a long-live gesture behind her back and said excitedly, "That coffee shop is very close, come with me!"
He didn't know that his appearance was all reflected in the glass, and he was seen by Leila. Such an interesting person by her side makes her feel that everyone is really a group animal, and it is more interesting when someone is accompanied and chatting.
After quietly making a "it's okay" gesture to the bodyguards who were secretly protecting her, she followed Owen to what he called a great coffee shop.
It was really close, less than ten minutes of walking. It's a small shop with a very comic strip and a lot of two-dimensional decoration. Portraits of Captain America and Superman are displayed outside the door, and some logos that appear in the comics are also painted everywhere, such as Captain America's round shield, and Batman's bat mark.
You don't have to go into Layla to guess what kind of coffee shop this is, and it seems that she came out quite right this afternoon.
