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

As a film scholar, Harry is well-known in the UK and even throughout Europe, and to be honest, he was more handsome and free when he was younger, with eyes as deep as a quiet lake.

Mayo is from free-spirited France, she is of mixed Chinese and French descent, with short brown hair, tall and large, and the lines of her face are a little tough, but she is also delicate. Mayo's mother is French, her father is Chinese, and her father has spoken Chinese with her since she was a child, so Mayo's Chinese listening and speaking is no problem, but she is illiterate, cannot write, cannot read Chinese books, and cannot read letters and emails. She can recognize at a glance that there are only two Chinese characters that can be pronounced: 福, 喜. Happiness has to be double happiness. I know Fu because every time I go to a traditional Chinese festival, I will hang a framed Fu character at home, and I know Double Happiness because I have eaten several Chinese wedding banquets.

When Mayo was in college in Paris, he read an article about Harry in an English magazine, and there was a picture of Harry on it, and his eyes were really like the waters of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, and he seemed a little shy and overwhelmed when he looked closely—in fact, he probably had a common expression for many British men. That was the first time Mayo saw Harry, seeing him through his photographs.

In a country like England with the tradition and culture of the queen, whether it is urban or rural, whether poor or rich, there is generally an atmosphere of love and respect for women in society. Men are accustomed to being gentle and docile to women because they are naturally physically stronger than women, and English men, especially English men, have such a sincere and humble submissive look, which is probably a common characteristic. But Mayo was always unforgettable for Harry, for his deep lake-like black and blue eyes, and for the way he looked. That's what motivated her to come to Oxford for a PhD and to stay with Harry as a teaching assistant. But Harry has never had any special feelings for Mayo, and just sees her as a member of his ordinary students.

On the weekend, five or six teachers, including Harry and Mayo, held a party in a bar outside the school, Mayo drank a little too much, always talked to Harry, and even lay on Harry's shoulder, Harry was alert, and Mayo, who seemed to be very arrogant, seemed to have too much enthusiasm for himself, and from then on, he was deliberately polite to Mayo, trying to keep his distance, not wanting to misunderstand Mayo and cause trouble.

It's really a coincidence, and then, Mayo, as Harry's internship teaching assistant, messed up a very important lecture activity - the college's International Student Exchange Center invited Harry to invite a scholar from the University of East Anglia to give lectures to teachers and students of the School of Humanities. Mayo sent an email to everyone to attend the lecture, but he got the time and place wrong.

On the day of the lecture, heavyweights with the title of Fellow of the Royal Society were embarrassed on the stage - in addition to Harry and Mayo's staring eyes and concentration, there were three or five passing students and two teachers who were temporarily pulled in. There weren't 10 people in total. One of the students was met by Mayo in the bathroom, Mayo used free coffee and almond cookies as bait, and finally begged people to come in, sat for three minutes, and found that it had nothing to do with the architecture major he studied, he really couldn't understand, and got up and left with a paper cup of coffee, and the others were really face-saving, barely survived to the end......

But the famous scholars of East England and Georgia still need to stand on the stage with great grace, with a subdued tone and a humorous mouth spitting lotus flowers, as if there were more than a thousand people in the audience......

However, Mayo was very aggrieved, she was only responsible for forwarding the notice, according to the script, two of the three emails sent to her by the college's International Student Exchange Center had the wrong address and time, and coincidentally, she just didn't open the right email. Of course, this is still to blame for not being careful enough in her work, but she herself doesn't think so.

After this happened, Mayo was very worried, because she had just submitted her internship report and was waiting for her scores, she was afraid that Harry would give her a low score for her solid * knot, so she could not continue to stay as a temporary teaching assistant, and she secretly planned to talk to Harry face to face, at least a chance to explain. Death can't be so confusing.

Harry did give Mayo's internship report a low score, but the evaluation was still very objective, and he also gave a high individual score and affirmation on Mayo's good aspects. He sealed the internship evaluation report he had written and planned to submit it to the relevant departments of the school the next day.

After getting the report, Harry went out to go to the bathroom, and when he passed by the corner of the hallway, he overheard a familiar voice, it was two young people in his department chatting, and a few jokes and gossip reached his ears-

"That French girl Mayo who just messed up Professor Harry's friend's lecture?"

"Yes, Harry's French doctor, hehe, he is a very proud student, he is a transsexual, the whole academy has spread, I'm afraid even the squirrels in the courtyard downstairs know, don't you know?"

"Huh? It's true? No way? ”

"It was said that it was originally a man, but it was changed to a woman, and I used to have a girlfriend, but now, it seems that I am dating a male professor in our college......

"Oh my God, God!"

"You really don't know? First heard of it? Someone saw them at the bar with a very intimate ......"

"Really, oh my God!"

"There are a lot of things like this now, it's not unusual, you're too conservative."

"Of course, of course I'm not biased, but don't you think it's still a little uncomfortable?"

"Oh, to be honest, I'm also a traditional conservative at this point......"

"Harry wouldn't be unaware, would he?"

"Then who knows? Some people say that the professor who is in a relationship with Mayo is him! ”

"Oh my God!"

......

Harry was stunned! Although he could not tell whether the first half of the rumor was true or not, he was still very surprised, and thought to himself that Mayo was indeed tall and hard-lined, and that she might really look like a boy if she removed her current slightly curly hair that covered her ears and replaced it with an inch of hair. As for the second half of what the two men said, he wondered if Mayo himself said it to others, otherwise, how could there be such a ridiculous rumor?

Harry returned to the office from the bathroom, holding his chin for a moment, and finally couldn't help but be curious, opened the student data folder on the computer, and carefully examined Mayo's materials, but found no obvious or subtle mention of the important record of the "change of gender" mentioned by the two men just now.

Harry cupped his cheeks and pondered. He is convinced of the authenticity and accuracy of the information, because the personal information provided by the students must be complete, truthful, and legally responsible, and such a major thing as "changing gender" is absolutely impossible and should not be ignored, so if it is not in the information, then there should be no such thing.

Harry couldn't help but shake his head and muttered to himself: "What kind of system, even British university campuses are full of gossip now, this is simply ridiculous!" Waste of time! Can't you care about something useful? ”

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Harry turned around and saw through the small glass lattice on the door that it was Mayo smiling inside, and he quickly closed the folder on his computer, and got up to invite her in the door.

After a few pleasantries, Mayo begged him for mercy, and hinted that he had always admired and admired him, and that he had read articles about him and some of his books since he was in college in Paris, and that he also liked the rigorous and elegant atmosphere on the Oxford campus very much, and hoped to continue to stay.

Harry kept his head down and listened patiently, not looking up at Mayo, he blinked occasionally, his expression was calm, but his mind was determined.

Although Harry is a literary uncle on the outside, he is a conservative and traditional middle-aged and elderly person on the inside, in addition to the thoughtfulness of a typical British intellectual, or cunning, he is also well versed in scientific and rigorous educational psychology, when he himself was studying, the highest score was grammar and psychology, all A+, naturally very good at doing what Chinese often call "ideological work".

He told Mayo very gently that even if he scored high, it would be impossible to change the bad consequences of this low-level mistake, the whole academy knew about it, rumors were already spreading everywhere, and it was said that other colleges had begun to use this incident as an example to remind everyone not to make the same mistake, and the possibility of Mayo staying was almost zero. If she stays desperate, it will only be very embarrassing, and it is better to leave for a while.

Mayo, of course, was anxious to explain the reason for the mistake and get Harry's understanding, she took out her phone, opened the photo file on her phone, and showed Harry a screenshot of the email she had received from the college's International Exchange Center.

When Harry was looking at the screenshot of the email, his finger inadvertently touched the screen of his phone, and the photo was zoomed out, revealing all the photos that Mayo had saved - camera roll, and Harry was surprised to see a few photos of himself and Jing Hao on the day of their encounter with Jing Hao Heavy Rain, and the two of them came out of their home after the rain stopped - apparently secretly taken from behind the two of them! And it's several shots in a row! It's like a paparazzi candid scandal photo!

Harry chuckled inwardly, could it be that Mayo had deliberately shown him the picture...... Isn't this blackmail?

Harry quietly returned the phone to Mayo, and pretended to comfort her, telling her clearly that no matter what the reason for the mistake was, he really couldn't afford to recommend her to stay as a temporary teaching assistant, but promised to help her make some introductions and recommendations to the University of Reading and Coventry University north of Oxford.

Mayo was disappointed that he couldn't get the answer he hoped for, but he politely said "thank you" and walked out of Harry's office.

Mayo was a little puzzled as to why Harry had not only not understood her mistake after looking at the photo just now, but his face was even more gloomy. Coming out of the school building where Harry's office was located, she pulled out her phone to check the photos, and suddenly guessed that Harry must have seen the photos she had inadvertently taken after the rain that day.

Oops, things are getting worse and worse, and Mayo is distressed. She closed her eyes and tapped her head a few times with her phone, what can she do?

Mayo stopped, wanting to turn back and explain to Harry again, but he was afraid that the more he talked, the more confused it became, so he turned around and walked slowly to the campus gate.

As she walked out of the academy gates, she vaguely felt that she might not be able to stay, so she turned back and took a lot of selfies on campus as souvenirs, and took several selfies at the window of Harry's office.

Harry expected that she was gone, so she walked to the window and looked out, not wanting that Mayo had been away for so long and hadn't walked out of the school gate, she was taking pictures all over the campus, posing with squirrels in all sorts of weird ways, and taking selfies with trees. Harry couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't find it funny at all, he just thought she was wasting her time, just as boring as secretly filming him and Jing Hao, and no different from the two people who spread gossip around the corner of the hallway. The dull and pedantic side of his personality jumped out, his brow furrowed, and he thought Mayo was ridiculous! It's ridiculous! I was disgusted with this doctoral student who I admired before.
