Chapter 423: A Chance Encounter in a Bookstore

After taking care of the design of the park, Leila can finally relax for a while. It's been so tired lately, and after she's done with what she's doing, she thinks going out for a walk should be a good way to relax. Sadly, when she turned on her phone, she still didn't find anyone who could have a cup of tea together and be called a friend.

It's not that she didn't want to make a friend, but there is a saying that the height is unbearable, and standing in her position, it is difficult to simply find a friend.

When ordinary people see her, they either become fans or become passers-by who play soy sauce, and few will really calmly associate with her as friends. Even if there is, it takes a lot of luck to meet in the middle of nowhere.

The tragic thing is that the youngest of her peers is also a year or two older than her, and it's okay to meet and talk about movies with those people occasionally, and if she really talks about it, she doesn't even want to think about the picture.

As for the children of rich families who are about the same identity as her...... She has never had a good impression of those people because of her relationship in her previous life. In her previous life, in order to get sponsorship funds, she spent all day wandering among those people, and she had seen too many dirty things, which also made her disgust with this group have always brought her to this life.

And she doesn't like to go to drinking parties, dances, and even charity auctions that many people like, she usually doesn't have enough money. She is not the innocent little Leila who grew up in a hospital bed, but a woman who has seen many dark sides. So what the gaze that others put on her meant, she saw it very clearly. When she was out socializing, those ill-intentioned stares only made her feel disgusted.

Of course, it's not that all the children of rich families are gentlemen, but that the only people she could contact in her previous life were those people. How can the really promising second generation have anything to do with her as a little director? Invest in her to make movies? Hehe, why? There are a lot of big directors who have proven their abilities for those people to choose, who cares about her?

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it becomes an embarrassing situation right now. The only eccentric forensic doctor who can be regarded as an older brother and a friend, Zeni, is even more elusive, and he can't see the end of the story, hoping to find him out for a coffee, it is more likely to call Roy out.

It's a pity that Roy has to memorize the lyrics and correct the pronunciation, which must not be disturbed. So after enjoying a delicious lunch at the restaurant she had booked, she walked slowly down the street, intending to check out the nearby bookstore. As for the bodyguards, they still followed from a distance, neither disturbing her wandering around, nor being too conspicuous.

Leila wanted to take advantage of this free time to visit the bookstore, just to see what interesting new books could complement her study, and to see if there were any rights worth buying to enrich her future film shooting plans.

The smell in the bookstore is one of her favorite smells, especially when she turns the pages of a new book.

A good book can give a person, it can be a wonderful bizarre trip, it can be a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, or it can be a sigh of history......

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

As a man walked by, the bag on his back hit Lyra's back, staggering her. Fortunately, she was propped up on the bookshelf and did not fall to the ground in shame.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to, are you okay?" the other party quickly apologized and reached out to help her.

Leila waved her hand and refused his support: "It's okay. ”…… She secretly bared her teeth, how could she be okay if she was smashed by such a backpack full of heavy objects. It's just that she doesn't want to attract too much attention, so she makes a big deal small.

It was a young man, about twenty-four or five, with a few paper bags in his hand and a backpack full of things on his back, as if he had just swept the bookstore.

"I'm so sorry I took too much. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" The man apologized one after another, but his head bowed, and a pile of pamphlets fell out of the paper bag he was holding in his arms.

"Oh, sh......" The man was about to burst into a foul mouth, when he suddenly remembered that there was a beautiful girl standing in front of him, and immediately swallowed the remaining half of the syllable back into his stomach.

He felt that he was so unlucky today, that he should have gone home and put down his things and come back to buy books, but that he had made a mess of everything in order to save that little money and time.

He didn't have to look to guess how ridiculous his embarrassed appearance was in the eyes of others, so he didn't speak again, but lowered his head and picked up the books on the ground one by one.

Leila crouched down to help him pick up a few books, only to find them in her hand, which were all coloring pages of comics. In the United States, when you talk about comics, you will think of DC's Superman Batman, as well as Marvel's Captain America, Thor, and so on. Unlike the various types of manga in Japan, there seems to be only one type of superhero manga that can be remembered as the mainstream here.

"I'm sorry. The man had already picked up the other comic books and looked at the comics in Lyra's hand with some embarrassment.

He knew that people in the outside world thought that only unscrupulous people and children would like comics, although it was a very unreasonable and wrong misunderstanding, and he felt very embarrassed when he thought that the girl in front of him was also thinking like that.

Layla smiled and handed him the comic book, "Do you like Steven?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "You also like comics?"

The reason for this question is because if you don't like the comics, the most people who read the comics will call "Captain America" instead of Steven!

As soon as she called that, it immediately made him feel like he had found a partner. If this pretty girl loves comics as much as he does, maybe they'll have a lot of common language, or maybe he can ask her out for coffee or something?

"Yes, I love comics. Layla stood up with a smile, not saying that what she liked more was the profit that would come from the film adaptations.

But her attitude has said it all, the man doesn't know how long it has been since he met a beautiful girl who sees that he likes comics and can smile at him, and the disgusted eyes have gained a lot.

"Hello, my name is Owen, Owen Felton. He hurriedly stretched out a free hand and reached for her.

Leila hooked the corners of her lips and reached out to shake him lightly, "Hello, I'm Leila." ”

Someone once said that when introducing oneself, the person's nature can be seen from "my name is so-and-so" and "I am so-and-so". Usually the person who introduces himself as me so-and-so will be more confident, while the person who calls me so-and-so lacks some sharpness and is more kind.

It was only after she introduced herself that she suddenly remembered the passage she had read, and she couldn't help but think about it, and it felt as if there was really some truth.

"Hello Leila. Owen happily withdrew his hand, feeling the little heat remaining on his palm, and felt as if his heart was beating uncontrollably.
