45, met in the bookstore
(The storyline is completely fictional, the official must not sit in the right seat, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence)
It's early in the morning at home, and in Oxford, it's late at night.
In the quiet room, it was pitch black. After tossing and turning, I finally closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Late at night, at Harry's house. Harry was lying on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, his eyes closed, the TV was on, and the BBC news was broadcast live, which was not loud.
Something in the news about a China, and Harry turned his head and glanced at the screen. Originally, it was about China's rapid economic growth and how much GDP has increased. As soon as Harry turned his head, there was another piece of news about China - the mobile population during the Spring Festival, how difficult it is to take the train and plane, and the various scenic spots in China are overcrowded and crowded with people during the Spring Festival......
Harry didn't turn his head to look at the picture again, only listened with his ears, and said to himself in English: "There is a lot of news from China now, almost three or four ...... a day"
Harry remembered that when she talked to Jing Hao during the day, Jing Hao said that there were two essential materials and books, and the library had been borrowed, and she planned to "go to the bookstore tomorrow morning to see if there are any, and if the bookstore doesn't have one, look for other libraries in the city center......
Harry flicked his arm, slowly got up from the couch, and set his phone's alarm to 8:30 a.m. The bookstore didn't open until 10 o'clock, so he got up at half past eight, cleaned up, and walked to the city center, which was never too late. He looked up at the watch on the wall: it was past half past eleven. He turned off the TV.
The next morning, Jing Hao carried a canvas bag and a McDonald's burger, turned from Corn Market Street to Broad Street, and walked to Blackwell's bookstore. What a coincidence.
Harry also saw her, greeted her very calmly, walked over and sat down, Harry saw her pinching a hamburger, and said, "What a coincidence, we met here again, I haven't eaten seriously for a few days, let's go, let's go to the Italian restaurant next to it for a delicious meal, right?" ”
After saying that, he got up and picked up her big cloth bag, and left without waiting for a quiet answer. She had no choice but to follow him out quickly, and the two of them entered a nearby restaurant.
Entering the cafeteria, Harry carefully chose his seat for a moment, motioning for him to sit quietly facing the glass wall, and he sat down with the back of his head against the glass wall.
The waiter came and ordered food for them. Harry croaked and spoke a few words of Italian to the waiter.
Jing Hao pondered Harry's inexplicable actions just now, and suddenly she felt that she had seen through the reason: after all, this was the city where he lived, and there were more people who knew him, and if he was facing the street, then it would be easy for acquaintances to see him sitting and eating with a woman, and he was facing the street, after all, there were very few people who knew her here, and the probability of being met by acquaintances through the window was even smaller.
Jing Hao thought again: Is it really such a coincidence, or is he waiting here on purpose? If so, then he's meticulous enough!
Suddenly a little hungry, she remembered that there was a hamburger wrapped in paper that she had been holding in her hand, and quickly tore it in half, and handed it half to Harry.
Harry smiled, took half of the burger and took a big bite.
The waiter brought two glasses of lemonade, just picked up the cups and took a sip, Jing Hao saw that there was a person outside the glass wall who looked very much like Mayo was walking by, and after the person walked by, he turned his head back to look, yes, it was her, she also saw Jing Hao, what a coincidence.
Jing Hao guessed why Harry was sitting with his back to the glass wall, and it was verified. Because of the angle, Mayo couldn't see Harry...... But she could see Jinghao.
Shizuki wanted to get up and go out to say hello to Mayo. Mayo probably guessed that it was Harry on the other side, and she waved her phone to Jing Hao, which means "phone contact", and walked away quickly......
Harry picked up the lemonade, took a sip, and asked Jinghao, "It's your roommate who greeted you outside?" ”
Jing Hao said, "No, this is Mayo." She seemed to be in a hurry, waved her hand and left. My roommate didn't have time to hang out, he had just come back from vacation, he was busy, he was either studying or working. ”
Harry asked, "You all the time living in the same house?" Got a year? ”
Jing Hao said: "He moved in early, more than a year, and I have lived in it for less than a year." ”
Harry asked, "Oh, how many people are in your house?" ”
Jing Hao said: "There were four people before, but now there are five people. ”
Harry nodded repeatedly, "Oh." ”
The waiter brought a small plate of pickled olives, Harry pricked a few with a fork to eat, and Jinghao was nibbling on the burger, both of them were silent, and Harry suddenly asked, "This boy roommate of yours, he is so busy, he must not have time to have a girlfriend?" ”
Jing Hao said: "He? No, I've never seen him have a girlfriend, he's very hardworking, hardworking than me. ”
Harry nodded repeatedly, "Oh." ”
Why did Harry suddenly ask Li Ruoshi, whom he didn't know, "if she had a girlfriend", and she glanced up at Harry.
At this time, the waiter brought a new dish, the main dish was Jing Hao's favorite salmon with potatoes and a little purple potato and spinach.
Harry said, "I'm sorry, but I ordered the same one for the sake of speed, okay?" ”
Jing Hao nodded and said, "Yes, I like to eat this, thank you!" ”
In China, Liu Zongzong's mother dragged the people from the police station to the bar where the bar girl worked to make a fuss, and the bar girl had to change to a bar job, but she still often sent QQ and WeChat to Liu Zongzong, wanting to ask him out. At first, Liu Zongzong didn't dare to reply to her, for fear that his sister and mother would find out, so he immediately deleted the message.
However, the family is really not interesting, his parents always force him to enroll in language classes to study, Liu Zongzong is very annoyed, and he goes to New Oriental every morning purely to cope with his parents, and he can't learn at all. In contrast, the bar girl became a friend who really "understood" him. After the bar girl left messages on WeChat and QQ repeatedly, Liu Zongzong couldn't help it and secretly dated her again. Every time he went out on a date, Liu Zongzong lied to his sister and mother, saying that he had made an appointment with a classmate in the English tutoring class to play ball or something.
When you go out shopping, eat and drink, you always have to spend money, Liu Zongzong is used to being lavish, and he doesn't dare to ask his family for money, so he always goes out with that bank card. After a few weeks, he began to spend money openly, and the two of them had a meal, at least three hundred and five hundred, buying clothes and shoes for the bar girl, anyway, the card was just a number, and he didn't feel it at all.
On this day, Liu Zongzong's father was talking to people in the office, and suddenly received a text message, which was a consumption reminder for the credit card in Liu Zongzong's hand: shopping consumption of 2,900 yuan, he found that he had recently received a lot of reminder text messages for this credit card consumption, and took a calculator in his hand, roughly calculated, and probably needed to repay 29,600 yuan that month. This was obviously not a figure for normal expenses, and he immediately became angry.
When he went home at night, he didn't say a word, he went upstairs and pushed the door to beat Zongzong, and the house suddenly made a lot of noise, scolding, and chaos.
Liu Zongzong's grandmother was uncomfortable, lying in her room, hearing the movement, worried that her grandson would be beaten, and was anxious to get up to persuade her, but suddenly she had a heart attack, and before she could stand firmly, she fell sullenly on the floor of her room, and there was a mess, and no one heard the sound on her side.
Zongzong fled in the room, his father shouted and screamed, Zongzong's mother ran up from the yard downstairs without changing her shoes, and asked Zongzong and Zongzong's father what was going on......
Ten minutes later, Liu Zongzong's sister went home, first went to her brother's room to persuade for a while, and then pushed open the door of her grandmother's bedroom, only to find her grandmother lying on the floor, and the family hurriedly sent her grandmother to the hospital, but it was too late.
IN OXFORD, HARRY AND JINGHAO SAT IN THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT "BELLA" NOT FAR FROM BLACKWELL'S BOOKSTORE.
Harry "met" Jing Hao at the bookstore as he wished, and the two of them ate in an Italian restaurant next to the bookstore, and seemed to be in a good mood.
