39, misunderstanding

(The storyline is completely fictional, the official must not sit in the right seat, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence)

Oxford, on the other side of the earth, was sitting in her room in a daze, with a book on her desk - "All About Movies", which was a "birthday present" that Harry happened to meet at Blackwell's bookstore on the day she went to the river to watch a boat race, and took it out of her bag and gave it to her.

I opened it to Harry's strange wish to her—keep being happy, and then turn the page to the message to the town of Nanchong that I saw in the library in the city—"Thank you Nan Yongzen for your emotional and moral support during my time in writing this book."

Jing Hao closed the book, and pressed his palm gently and completely against the cover.

After thinking about it, she opened the book again, but deliberately did not look at the first few pages, and only skimmed and flipped through the content behind. She recalls taking two train trips to and from London with Harry, and some of the conversations they had had with them.

Harry had told her that he liked Oriental women because they were at least a little bit feminine.

Harry also mentioned a period of his life in the United States: he gave up his job and life in the United Kingdom for the sake of his American ex-wife and went with him. His American ex-wife is an independent producer of niche art and documentary films, and he lives in a university in California to teach, and at the same time he is responsible for the family's cooking and hygiene.

His ex-wife took him to Thailand to film the Red Shirt riots, Afghanistan to shoot the war, and almost took him to Africa to shoot the widespread cholera in a backward region...... In short, wherever there is war, turmoil, riots, sensational danger or political shady, she wants to shoot anything.

He was also full of passion and enthusiasm, and in order to support his ex-wife's filming, they even sold a large house and moved into a school apartment...... Later, it was a difference in the concept of life, and it was impossible to continue living together, and finally divorced, and Harry came to an abrupt end here.

Jing Hao asked at the time, "You don't have any children, do you?" If you have children, maybe your ex-wife will spend more time on your family life. ”

Harry shrugged his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and replied, "Well——, we don't have children, it's not her idea, it's because, because we both think that children are just as scary as small animals. ”

Jing Hao said: "Little child, how can it be terrible? ”

Harry smiled, "Because their language is different from our human language, you won't know what they're saying!" ”

Jing smiled.

Harry continued: "When I came back to England and was in a low mood for a long time, I came across the town of Nam Chung, but then she also left. ”

Jing Hao lowered his head and touched the book, thinking of Harry's narration, and guessed that the person who watched the boat race with Harry before should be Nam Chung Town.

At this time, Chen Dongliang suddenly sent a video invitation, quietly put away the book, put it upside down, with the cover below, and chatted with him on video.

Chen Dongliang asked, "How are you doing?" Didn't go to London again to buy me an LV belt? ”

Jing Hao said: "I don't have time, I've been writing papers recently, and I don't have a chance to go." ”

Chen Dongliang obviously didn't care about the matter of the paper, and only let out a soft "oh".

Suddenly, he stopped talking. After a pause, Chen Dongliang said to Jing Hao: "The matter of competition for posts, the written test has passed, and my score is a lot higher than his. ”

Jing Hao let out an "oh" and said, "It's good, congratulations." ”

Chen Dongliang probably wanted Jing Hao to ask a few more questions, but Jing Hao didn't continue to ask more.

Neither spoke again.

After a while, he said, "Then goodbye, it's time for me to sleep here." ”

Chen Dongliang said: "Good".

Jing Hao cut off the video first......

Before going to bed, she opened the book Harry had given her and read it for a while......

When she fell asleep, she had a dream, probably from watching too many old British movies, and dreamed that she and Harry were wearing Jane Austen-era clothes, weirdly, the two were walking on the grass in a park in Oxford, with a camera pointed at them in the distance, and a bunch of staff. It turned out that they were filming a movie, and the two of them played a pair of "gossip lovers" in the Jane Austen era, probably in that era, this was a big deal, but after they walked by, someone quietly pointed fingers. There is even Mr. Bean, who plays an old butler.

Jing Hao took Harry's arm, chatting happily, talking and laughing, a bicycle came over, Harry was afraid that she didn't pay attention, gently hugged her waist, Jing Hao almost fell into Harry's arms, fortunately he was supported by him......

At this time, Chen Dongliang suddenly strode towards him, he was wearing a neat modern suit, and when he saw the scene where Jing Hao almost fell into Harry's arms, he was very angry and threw the briefcase in front of her, she hurriedly stepped forward to explain that this was a movie, but Chen Dongliang pushed him down on the grass and fell into the mud.

Jing Hao struggled to get up and turned around, and found that Harry was gone, and the camera and the bunch of staff who were filming the movie just now also disappeared in an instant, and Chen Dongliang watched as he grew taller and taller, becoming a giant, and glared at her, and the old butler played by Mr. Bean was also gone, all gone, and there was only one giant, Chen Dongliang......

Jing Hao woke up a little stunned, and when he turned his head, he found that Harry's book was placed next to his pillow, and one of his hands was still holding the spine of the book.

Early the next morning, Jing Hao and Harry met at the campus café. Harry walked out with a brown paper-colored coffee mug of the largest, and was about to walk in to buy a sandwich. The two greeted each other, both plain and polite.

Harry, who thinks he is thoughtful, has read a book on the psychology of women's love, and after his own analysis, he has always had a guess that there is at least a 30% chance that Jing Hao is dating his roommate Li Ruoshi.

And because she saw an Asian woman at the rowing competition, Jing Hao had a bigger misunderstanding of Harry, and felt that if she thought about it more, it seemed inappropriate. She reflected and wrote it down in her little notebook: the occasional smiling face and enthusiasm of others are probably just the attitude of a kind and generous teacher...... Including giving books as a "birthday gift", it is also a starting point to encourage students to learn. Be sober: many things are delusions!

She reminded herself in her heart: Don't really be self-inflicted!

As a result, two people with different hearts and minds faced each other, and they both became polite and deliberately kept their distance.
