Chapter 6 Chapter 2. London Encounters (2)

I opened my phone's address book to find someone to chat with, my classmates in China were in class, and Alice was texting Chen. The speed of the two of them is faster than Liu Xiang's hurdles.

I remembered Jay, whom I had just met, so I texted him: "Will you accompany me to Charing Street tomorrow?" ”

After a while he replied to me, "What time is it?" ”

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, I will leave class at 2:40."

"Is there a reward?"

"Watching a movie?"

"Yes."

"That's not there."

It's always such a short and targeted chat message.

Alice walked up to my bedside and asked, "Honey, what do you have to do with your Mr. right?" Trust me, he's a nice guy! ”

"It's good, but I don't know how well it is in bed." I confessed nakedly.

Alice, as if she had heard me speak like this for the first time, was shocked, and said, "Sometimes I can't tell if you're an East London girl or if I'm it." ”

"I am who I am. I, am the subject. ”

“OK。”

But there was nothing I wanted to buy after walking around, so out of Charing Street, we went to Highgate Cemetery, which is in the Highgate area of London's northern suburbs. In the evening, the garden is quiet, with bright green plants blooming along the paths, mosquitoes occasionally flying out to bite passers-by in the summer, and many people wandering here, where Jay and I admire the tombstones of famous people such as Eliot and Marx.

"Every time I'm in a bad mood, I go to the cemeteries in London for a while, and I think of what those people said, even though they are now ashes, but the words of my predecessors always linger in my ears, as if they were still alive."

Jay and I sat down on the orange bench, and he pulled a bottle of wine out of his bag.

"You still brought this?"

"Want to try it?"

"Okay, is it whiskey?"

"No, a friend brought me from Spain, it's a light wine."

"How long have you been in London?"

"Like you, I came here because I was in university, but my parents live in Edinburgh now."

"Are you the BBC?"

"Yes."

"I heard that such people will ask tutors to teach Chinese from an early age, is it true? I see that your Chinese is so good, you must have put in a lot of effort! ”

"I'm okay, I like Wong Kar-wai's movies very much."

"For example?"

"For example, "Springtime".

"I like it too!" I said, "The least favorite thing is the weather in London." ”

"Normal, I couldn't get used to it when I first came." There was something languid about his voice.

"The food in London is also unpalatable, and it's impossible not to gain a few pounds here."

"The food is not bad, if you go to Kyiv, you will know what it means to be hard to swallow, I ate lard there for three days, and almost died in another country."

I laughed and took a few sips of the wine from his hand, the sweet wine ran down my throat and into my stomach, it was cool and cold, and the sweet and sour grape flavor quickly spread between my lips and teeth.
