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

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Jinghao's mother was shopping in a crowded supermarket, and when she turned her head, she saw someone who looked very much like Jinghao's boyfriend Chen Dongliang, but Chen Dongliang was hooking up with a girl she didn't know.

Jinghao's mother hurriedly walked a few steps forward, to get closer to see if it was Chen Dongliang, but the person who looked like Chen Dongliang put his arm around the woman's shoulders and flashed into the row of freezer shopping shelves selling ice cream.

Jinghao's mother hurriedly walked to the end of this row of freezers and refrigerators, pretending to avoid them casually, looking to the sides, but she could no longer find them......

Jinghao's mother was suspicious and confused, suspecting that she had recognized the wrong person; After a while, I felt that it was Chen Dongliang, and he must be right. Such a big supermarket, noisy and full of people, she wanted to make sure that she was right, so she could only look around in the same place, hoping that they would appear again......

Mrs. Chen finished work after 11 p.m. almost every day and returned to the high-rise apartment rented by the company to rest, lonely.

She is close to forty years old, this day is more than 11 o'clock in the evening back to the residence, I feel that the road today seems to be particularly long, finally entered the door, I feel that my physical strength is exhausted, my eyes are astringent, my legs are sore, my waist is suddenly hot, she hurried to the bathroom, I looked, it was broken, why is it only half a month, and the menstrual cycle has turned back? It seems that there is some endocrine disorder. She hurried to the chest of drawers in the bedroom to find a pack of sanitary napkins and went back to the bathroom.

Mrs. Chen, who was overworked, curled up in the sofa in the apartment, clutching her lower abdomen for a while, fell and painful, and for the first time remembered the carefree time in Oxford and the meticulous care and concern that Mr. Chen had given her. In the original picture of the beautiful life in Oxford, Mr. Chen cooked soup every day and waited for her to come home at noon, and the scene appeared in front of her eyes, there was always hot soup and hot rice, fruits and flowers at home, and she could smell the smell of rice as soon as she rode her bicycle into the yard......

Jing Hao called Mrs. Chen, interrupting Mrs. Chen's memories. Jing Hao told Mrs. Chen that she heard Zhang Yiyun say that the people from her in-laws' company had recently decided to go to Mrs. Chen again to see the progress. As soon as Mrs. Chen heard about the work, her stomach ache immediately lightened a little. She turned over and sat up, thanked Jing for a few words, and asked, I heard Mr. Chen say that she also plans to stay for a doctorate? Jing Hao said that it was just the teacher who asked her casually, but she was not sure.

Mrs. Chen sincerely reminded Jing Hao, it is better to return to China as soon as possible to stabilize, in fact, what about girls, really don't study for too long, really don't read like a female nerd, like herself, once full of pride, now although the ideal is not extinguished, enthusiasm is still there, and confidence is undiminished, but sometimes I feel that I am looking for sin, a woman who is about forty years old, leaving her husband, returning to China alone, day by day, sometimes exhausted......

Jing Hao asked her, "Then why don't you just go back to Oxford and find Mr. Chen?" ”

Mrs. Chan said, "How can things be as simple as you think? It's like opening a bow and not turning back, at least you can't leave it alone halfway. ”

Jing Hao said: "If you are really tired, just resign." Let the people who invest in this project find someone else to do it. ”

Mrs. Chan said, "How can you do that? There are some things in various aspects, do you suddenly run away? Girl, even if I can't do it anymore, I have to give an explanation, whether it's finding someone to buy and take over the project, or finding a new professional manager to replace me. ”

Jing Hao said: "If you really plan to quit, you will have to leave, so much care?" ”

Mrs. Chen said: "Hehe, I said a long time ago that we have a generation gap, you are simply people who don't grow up, you only have yourself in your heart, you don't think about it carefully, how can it be as simple as you say go." ”

Jing Hao said "oh", she didn't understand these business rules, she thought she didn't want to do it, just quit and leave.

Mrs. Chen continued: "Of course, I still have enthusiasm and will not give up, I really want to do something, but I am really tired, but at least until now, I don't really want to give up......"

Jing Hao said: "Then Sister Sweet Sakura, you just grit your teeth and persevere." Mr. Chen is also very supportive of your entrepreneurship now. ”

Mrs. Chen said: "It's good to be quiet, you should also concentrate on studying, get your degree early and return to China, and take care of yourself in all aspects." Some time ago, I thought you had a British boyfriend, hehe......"

Jing Hao hurriedly said, "No, no, I was just chatting with you." I'm just, curious. ”

The next day, Harry went to the campus café to buy coffee and came back, and Jinghao and Harry met on the campus path, and both of them greeted each other politely and very politely. Entering the office, Harry put down his coffee on the table, turned on the computer, went online to find the quiet face book homepage, and drank coffee while looking through her pictures, wondering what she was doing these days.

Jing Hao's updates are not frequent, only the photos released a long time ago, and he flipped through a few photos like this: a boy and a few middle-aged people went out for a group photo. Harry cupped his chin and fell into deep thought. The boy seemed to have seen Harry somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

In the photo, it is a group photo of Chen Dongliang and his parents and Jinghao parents going to the mountain to play together on the weekend, and the five of them are happy like a family. This was a long time ago, when Chen Dongliang sent her the photo, and she saw that her parents were very happy, so she put it on Facebook. She forgot about it herself, because she doesn't log on to Facebook very much, she spends most of her time using WeChat, and everyone is used to using email to communicate with her classmates and teachers.

One afternoon, five students came to Harry's class alone, and for thirty minutes alone, the last student finally walked out of Harry's office, Harry packed up his desk, put on his diagonal coffee-colored schoolbag, and left the school.

HARRY WENT TO THE BLACK WELL BOOKSTORE ON BROAD STREET, WANDERED IN FRONT OF THE WOODEN BOOKSHELF OF THE "LOVE GUIDE", PRETENDED TO LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT CASUALLY, AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE LACK OF READERS AROUND HIM, QUICKLY TOOK DOWN AN ENGLISH BOOK CALLED "HOW TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A WOMAN", AND PICKED UP A FEW OTHER BOOKS ON THE PROFESSIONAL BOOKSHELF OF MOVIES.

When he walked to the checkout desk, because the bookstore clerk knew him and knew that he was a professor and the author of several theory books in the bookstore, Harry was a little embarrassed, afraid that the other party would notice the title, so he deliberately mixed the book with several other professional books, pretended to pay seriously, nodded and whispered to the clerk, "I am doing a relevant research. (I'm doing a study on this.) ）

He didn't say it's good, but as soon as he said that the clerk really noticed that he was holding a book like "How to Fall in Love with a Woman", the old clerk, who had always been polite, deliberately complimented Harry: "Wow, your field of study is expanding, congratulations." ”

Harry nodded to the other very steadily, bowed his head and smiled, handed over the money and took the book. Of the two one-pound steel hammers he recovered, he threw one into the "Charity Donation Box for Children's Education in Africa" on the cash register. The old clerk complimented Harry again: "On behalf of the children in Africa, I thank you for your generosity every time. Harry bowed his head again, smiled, and was so pleased that he simply took the other one out of his pocket and threw it in.

Then, in his usual calm manner, Harry unhurriedly, slowly, put "How to Fall in Love with a Woman" in the middle of several books, leaned the spine of the book with the title on it to the side of his body, and held the stack of "academic theory books", and walked out of the bookstore, towards the road of the wooden bridge by the river.

As soon as he got home and put down other books, he immediately opened the book "How to Fall in Love with a Woman" and studied it seriously.

In China, it was the weekend, Chen Dongliang drove the coffee-colored Volkswagen Tiguan that he bought not long ago, went to Jinghao's parents' house, and brought a big bag of fruits. Jinghao's parents were very happy and praised him for being sensible.

Chen Dongliang helped wash vegetables and cook rice, accompanied Jinghao's parents to dinner, and rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, which was very attentive.

After the meal, Chen Dongliang drove them to the beach for a ride, from the local Donghai Road to Shilao Beach. The breeze on the seaside was gusting, the moon was in the sky, and the mother missed her daughter who was studying in a foreign country, and said: "It's good to be quiet and at home!" Chen Dongliang immediately said: "As soon as she comes back from graduation, we will seize the time to get married and reunite the whole family." ”

Of course, Jinghao's parents love to hear this, and they both laughed.

Suddenly, Jinghao's mother recalled the picture she saw in the supermarket a few days ago that seemed to be Chen Dongliang and a girl hooking up with each other. The clothes Chen Dongliang in front of him were different from those days, which seemed to be a plaid shirt made of flannel, and today he is wearing a work uniform because he came from the office: a suit uniform and a white shirt.

Jinghao's mother secretly looked carefully at Chen Dongliang's side, and tentatively wanted to ask him if he had been to the supermarket that day, but she didn't find a suitable opportunity to ask......

Jinghao's parents had already discussed it at home, and wrapped a red envelope of 10,000 yuan for Chen Dongliang, because he had just bought a new car a few months ago, even if it was a little kindness from his future father-in-law and mother-in-law to his son-in-law, it could be regarded as a subsidy for his gas bill, and he often came to see them.

The three of them came back from the beach, and after getting out of the car, Jinghao's parents told Chen Dongliang to wait downstairs for a while and not to leave, they went upstairs to get a big red envelope and handed it to Chen Dongliang in the car. Jinghao's parents were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and said bluntly: "You're welcome, you're welcome, if you keep you busy all day long, even if it's a gas money." ”

But when she turned upstairs and went home, Jinghao's mother suddenly remembered a scene in the supermarket. When the two of them washed up and were ready to rest, she couldn't help but turn over and tell Jinghao's father about it, saying, "Could it be that I saw it wrong?" ”

Jinghao's father immediately said, "I must have read it wrong!" There are people who look alike. Xiao Chen is so busy that he still has time to go to the supermarket? Besides, who is that woman? If it's him, doesn't that mean he's hooking up with someone else right now? ”

Mom said, "Yes, yes." ”

The two went to bed with the lights out, but Jinghao's mother opened her eyes wide for a while and was still pondering.
