Chapter 36: The Green Paper (2)

Obviously, Gu Xingrui saw surprise, shock, and panic in Tan Jiachang's eyes.

Hearing Gu Xingrui's words, Tan Jiachang was also taken aback, and he looked at Gu Xingrui's water-clear eyes. Suddenly, his heart was in turmoil, and he hurriedly avoided Gu Xingrui's eyes.

Tan Jiachang didn't expect that his heart would be seen through by Gu Xingrui, and coughed embarrassedly, "Why do you say that?" ”

"I look at Don like I'm looking at you. Although you don't talk about it, sometimes it feels like you are standing at the crossroads of two countries, and you can't integrate into New Zealand's life for a while, but you can't go back to your life at home. You crave friendship, you crave love. ”

Tan Jiachang nodded, "Yes, I crave friendship and love." Just said that most lonely people are afraid to take the first step, I'm not. I took a step, I just failed. ”

"So you're still lonely, aren't you?" Gu Xingrui naturally knew what the failure he was talking about, Fang Wei and foreign girlfriends were all good examples, and there were more things he didn't say.

"Now, I haven't fully adapted to life in New Zealand, and I can't go back to life in China for the time being. As for friendship, love can only be fateful. The adult world is always lonely. In the end, Tan Jiachang's eyes inevitably brought a little loneliness.

But in the next second, Tan Jiachang touched Gu Xingrui's head, and said with a smile, "At a young age, where are there so many lonely and lonely people, can't you be happy at this age." "I'm used to hiding myself, but now that I've been seen through by a little girl, Tan Jiachang quietly felt a little sympathy for Gu Xingrui.

Looking at Tan Jiachang's smile, Gu Xingrui also realized that she had said too much. So he removed Tan Jiachang's hand from his head with a haha, "I'm not a little girl, I've already done an internship, and I'm still teaching students, okay?" ”。

Sure enough, it was a little girl's film, looking at Gu Xingrui, who was taken away by herself in three or two sentences, Tan Jiachang smiled and said, "Let's continue watching movies"

Courage can be said to be the theme keyword of the whole film, and it is also the theme word that inspires the resonance of the public.

Dr. Shirley knew that the racial discrimination against blacks in the southern United States at that time was very serious, and the further south he went, the more serious it became, but he still chose to tour the southern part of the country, to experience, to break through his comfort zone, and to use his actions to influence and defend the public's perception.

In the first half of the story, Gu Xingrui is very puzzled why Tang gave up his respectable performance at Three Avenues in New York, but chose to walk and break through on American land with difficulty.

Tan explained: "Because talent alone is not enough, it takes courage to change the minds of the public. It was because of this courage that Don had the courage to hold the green book and use music to change people's discrimination against blacks. ”

Gu Xingrui nodded: "Can it be understood that the courage in "Green Book" comes more from reconciliation with oneself?" As a musician engaged in high art, Don learned to put down his posture and munch on fried chicken. Throw the chicken bones out of the window like you are throwing off all your worries. ”

As a black man, he learned to embrace his fellow human beings and enjoy the joy and joy of music in black bars. And as the most basic person, he learned to defend his rights and cancel the show when the other party did not allow him to eat in the restaurant. ”

Seeing that Gu Xingrui also saw this, Tan Jiachang felt more and more in his heart that their three views had many parts in common.

When he watched the movie before, he felt that Tang was too perfect, so perfect that he didn't look like a real person. It's just that I can't think of any words to explain, but now that I hear Gu Xingrui use the word "reconciliation" with herself, I feel that the explanation is just right.

"That's good, Ah Rui, I can see the problem more thoroughly." Tan Jiachang couldn't help but praise Gu Xingrui, and at the same time, he also felt that there was something different in his heart that had a different emotion for Gu Xingrui.

If he attended weddings together before, went to Macau and Taiwan, he regarded Gu Xingrui more as his sister, and today Gu Xingrui undoubtedly brought him a surprise. He thought that he had hidden the emotions in his heart well enough, but Gu Xingrui still saw through it.

With a light cough, he turned his head to look at Gu Xingrui, his gentle cheeks and big eyes under his long eyelashes were staring intently at the big screen.

The story ends with Tory and Don spending Christmas together.

Tolly, a white man, has a poor family and is violent, but he has a warm family. And pass on this warmth to the lonely Don during the journey.

From the initial disgust, secretly eating the sandwich prepared by his wife for Don, to seeing Don being bullied later, shouting "You are not allowed to go anywhere without me", to the warm Christmas that everyone spent together at the end.

This warmth does not come from elegant etiquette, not from a vulgar lifestyle, but from sincere care, from the softness of the heart.

Today, Gu Xingrui is wearing a white sweatshirt with wool lambs, black jeans with small feet, Martin boots, and a black handbag. Walking out of the movie theater, Gu Xingrui took a turn in the square.

"This ending is pretty good, I like it," Gu Xingrui said as she turned in circles.

"What's your favorite? Love and Peace? Do you like a happy finale so much? Tan Jiachang couldn't help but start making fun of Gu Xingrui.

"At least Don and Tory have a friendship, he's less lonely, so what about you, Mr. Tan? Floating and sinking in the sea of loneliness? I heard that Tan Jiachang was making fun of her, so Gu Xingrui was unceremonious when she talked about Tan Jiachang.

Seeing Gu Xingrui poking at her sore spot, "Okay, Ah Rui, I'm not going to make a joke about you, you're still sharp-toothed." ”

"You didn't start first," Gu Xingrui was also a little ruthless.

Tan Jiachang, who couldn't resist it, hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I shouldn't provoke you, it's getting late, I'll send you back." Are you going to work tomorrow? ”

Seeing that Tan Jiachang stopped talking, Gu Xingrui nodded, "Go to work, when will you go back to New Zealand?" ”

Sitting back on Tan Jiachang's big run, the weather in early winter was a little cold. It has only been a month since Tan Jiachang returned to China this time, and half a month has passed now.

"There is still half a month, tomorrow I will go here to go through the immigration procedures, and then go back to my hometown with my parents."

"Are you going back to worship your ancestors?" Tan Jiachang nodded, he didn't come back for a long time, and he didn't know when he would come back next time, so he naturally wanted to go back to worship his ancestors.

When the car arrived downstairs at Gu Xingrui's house, Gu Xingrui waved at him and prepared to go up.

"Ah Rui", Tan Jiachang stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xingrui looked back at him.

"It's nothing, you go up, and I'll make an appointment with you and Wen Liang when I come back from my hometown." Tan Jiachang hesitated, but still didn't say anything, in fact, he wanted to say that he was very happy to watch a movie with her today, and there were others, and he couldn't tell what it was.

stared at Gu Xingrui's back, thinking about what she had just said to herself in the cinema. Indeed, he hasn't met a girl who is so compatible with him for many years. Thinking of her sharp little face, Tan Jiachang suddenly smiled.

But in the next second, Tan Jiachang shook his head. Gu Xingrui already had a boyfriend, he was thinking about something, so he got back in the car, turned on the engine, and soon the car drove in the direction of his home.
