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

The next day in Harry's small office, Harry and Jing Hao had a separate class, and after the discussion about the choice of thesis topic, Harry told Jing Hao that Mayo had just returned to England after a sabbatical return to France, but that she had already left Oxford on the day of her return, and that Harry had introduced her to the University of Reading as a teaching assistant, and everything went well.

Jinghao was a little surprised and a little lost, why didn't Mayo tell her when she came back, didn't even send an email, didn't call her, was Mayo dissatisfied with her and didn't help her?

Harry seemed to see Jinghao's mood change, explaining: "Time is tight, Reading asked her to come over immediately, and she came back two days later than planned, I guess she may not bother to tell you......"

Before the end of class, Harry said that there were no students in line behind him, and now he was going to the bookstore on Broad Street in the center of the city to buy a few books, and asked Jing Hao very seriously if he had bought all the materials and books he asked to prepare, Jing Hao said that he didn't have it yet, and he couldn't find one at all, Harry said, that's right, let's go to the bookstore together, he helped her find it.

Jing Hao said: "Of course it's good. ”

Harry said, "But there is one condition: you and I both speak Chinese on the road, okay?" ”

Jing Hao said: "Of course it's good, as long as you are not tired, I will accompany you!" ”

Harry asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Jing Hao said: "That is to say, as long as you speak Chinese, I will always speak Chinese!" ”

Harry said, "OK, phoenix with phoenix......"

Harry's Chinese is indeed getting better and better. Like this time, Harry said, "I'm going to buy a few books from the bookstore on Broad Street in the center of the city, it's good (quiet), have you bought all the books I asked you to prepare?" There was no major mistake in pronunciation, even the order and intonation of words were quite standard, and he immediately encouraged and praised him, and Harry was as happy as a child, blinking his eyes, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands.

Under the sunlight shining through the window, Jing Hao made a careful observation for the first time: Harry's eyes were dark blue, just like Mayo had described to Jing Hao - the deep blue eyes of the deepest lake, as if they had a little bit of Oriental black eyes. The way he blinked made Jing Hao feel that he was really a very simple person, this innocence has nothing to do with age, and when he is 90 years old, he may still be a simple person at heart.

Harry suggested that the two of them should walk together and take the bus for two stops. Jing Hao said, okay.

They walked through the entire Heldington Hill Park and walked down a long path towards the center of the city, but they kept a distance of nearly a meter between them, and Jing Hao occasionally got a little closer to Harry, and he automatically moved away.

Along the way, Lala started chatting, and suddenly Harry asked her directly, "Is that young boy in the picture in your wallet your boyfriend?" ”

Jing Hao was caught off guard by the question and replied, "Oh, yes, yes." She didn't expect that he would be able to find out about the photo she put on the back.

Harry suddenly mentioned Mayo again, saying, "Maybe thanks to Mayo." ”

It's inexplicable. Harry just smiled and walked with his head down. The distance between the shoulders of two people is always more than a meter. Jing Hao walked a little closer to Harry, and Harry immediately pulled away again......

After buying the book at Blackwell Bookstore on Broad Street, Harry looked at his watch, it was still early, and after walking such a long way, both of them happened to be thirsty, Harry's expression was relaxed, and his tone was very subtle, and he asked Jing Hao to go to an old café in the city for a cup of black tea, and Jing Hao readily agreed.

The two drank tea and walked back, at the end of the high street, passing by an old restaurant "Fisherman's Shop", Harry suddenly asked Jing Hao if he was hungry, Jing Hao said that he was not hungry, Harry said, the time is not suitable now, let's go to this shop to eat fish together, a few "fish dishes" of this house, made very delicious.

Jing Hao didn't know how to answer, and thought: Are you inviting me to eat here another day? Just the two of us? However, this has a bit of a relationship with learning.

Harry seemed to see through her mind again, and said in Chinese: "Find a day, we, you and I, can come and taste the fish dishes here together!" The fish dishes here are delicious! ”

Jing Hao said: "According to Chinese customs, it is not called 'fish dish', it should be said 'fish', 'eat fish'." ”

Harry nodded, "Oh, thank you for teaching me this." Then you should be invited to 'eat fish' together. ”

Jing Hao said again: "Of course it's good, but I've done a lot of homework lately, and I probably don't have time to come out for dinner." ”

Harry said, "Hehe, you, are you complaining about me to my face?" Is it because I have too many subject tasks? That can be done on weekends or holidays after handing in the thesis title and writing plan. ”

Jing Hao hurriedly said: "I'm not complaining, it's not a complaint, you misunderstood, I mean, you should be very busy, it's too wasteful to come out to eat." ”

Harry replied, "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat, and again, when you eat, you can discuss things related to schoolwork together, isn't it just killing three birds with one stone?" ”

Jing Hao immediately asked: "Eating and discussing homework are two birds, so what is the other bird?" ”

Harry was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "That's right, maybe it's more right to kill two birds with one stone in your Chinese, or I should say 'kill two birds with one stone', 'killing three birds with one stone' really doesn't apply here......" After speaking, a rare silly expression appeared on Harry's face. Jing Hao also laughed.

In fact, both of them vaguely knew in their hearts: killing three birds with one stone, and the remaining bird may be "the two can have more interactions and understand each other". But they all pretended to be nothing, and no one would say anything.

It's night in China, Jing Hao's good friend, the former tenant of No. 28 Haidri Road, and now married to Zhang Yiyun, the successor of a listed group company in Shandong, is in her family's big mansion, while holding a few clothes she just received on Tmall, fiddling and trying, while continuously sending invitations to Jing Hao for WeChat video chat, but Jing Hao always has no response.

Jing Hao was walking with Harry on the street, and she didn't hear Zhang Yiyun's invitation on the street at all.

When Jing Hao and Harry were side by side, their shoulders were still about a meter apart, and when they walked back and forth, Harry walked behind, following Jing Hao's steps without hurry, and there was a step or so apart. When there were few people on the sidewalk, he was able to walk side by side, and he walked one step faster and Jing Hao side by side, still about a meter apart from his shoulders......

As soon as I got home, the network signal in the upper right corner of the mobile phone screen was immediately full. Zhang Yiyun sent another video invitation, heard the sound quietly, and quickly turned on the video.

Zhang Yiyun didn't have anything important, she asked Jing to help go to London to buy a few things, which were expensive gadgets from several luxury brands: wallets, backpacks, silk scarves and the like.

Zhang Yiyun said that because the same thing is much cheaper in the UK than in China. In fact, she doesn't particularly like those expensive things, mainly because several relatives in the family, especially her mother-in-law and aunt-in-law, like it, and they asked her to find someone to help buy it.

Zhang Yiyun half-jokingly said a few words about the luxury consumption of her "local tyrant" in-law's family: "My husband and his aunt, and a cousin, the three of them have similar interests, but they are really dirty, not that I maliciously sarcastic them, you will say the same when you see them." ”

Jing Hao said: "Hehe, people have money, how to spend their money, others can't care about it." ”

Zhang Yiyun said: "Yes, but don't look at their willingness to buy expensive things, taste, I really don't dare to compliment." These people love it, are the most gorgeous match, we used to pass by the window, always wonder how to sell those incomparably bright and dazzling models, now I know, the original market is huge......"

Jing Hao said: "You, the main aspect is good, don't be so picky, say a thousand things and ten thousand, rich is better than poor......

Zhang Yiyun said: "Yes, but he also has an aunt, who is also quite rich, but he is not as willing to spend money as a few of them, I see that his aunt let her children buy clothes on Taobao and Tmall, but she is much better dressed than a few of them, at least elegant, not so flowery and willow green." Do you know, my mother-in-law likes orange and rose red the most, sometimes there are three or four big names on the body, five or six colors, and no matter what season people have, no matter what style of clothes they match, they will have a string of huge jade beads around their necks, or a string of black pearls with a diameter of nearly 2 cm like steel beads! ”

Jing laughed: "Your mother-in-law is dressed so colorfully, jewelry, and domineering, as long as people like it." The aunt you are talking about, it is estimated that the child chose it for her, and young people like plain colors. You, they probably couldn't have imagined that you, a good daughter-in-law of returnees with high business skills, would speak so harshly behind your back! ”

Zhang Yiyun said: "Yes, I usually suppress it too much, so when I only dare to chat with you who are far away, Sasa Wild, you have to understand my meanness and ugliness, I actually have no malice, I am really panicked." ”

Jing Hao said, "Then you can try to give her some advice." ”

Zhang Yiyun said: "Oh, how dare I give her advice, she still doesn't look down on my clothes, several times said that I am so young and dressed too plain, why not buy a few pairs of flower pants to wear, but always love to wear black, blue jeans, saying that my black trench coat is too old-fashioned, should buy a big red!" I also suggest that I also wear a big jade bead string, you think about it, I am now 15 pounds fatter than before, I am almost 140 pounds, just one meter six in size, I wear a big red windbreaker, with a pair of flower pants, and a big jade string around my neck......"

Jing Hao laughed.

When she smiled softly, Zhang Yiyun asked Jing Hao, I was looking for her for a long time just now, why I didn't respond, from the first time I looked for her at half past nine, to now she is here at half past ten at night, and I have been looking for her for more than an hour!

Jing Hao said that it was only half past two in the afternoon, and she and her mentor went to the city for tea just now, probably on the way back just now, and she didn't hear it.

Zhang Yiyun immediately reminded her seriously: "No wonder you have been asking about British men recently, it turns out that there is really a story happening!" Be careful, the British are keeping it! Unless you graduate and the results of your graduation thesis are announced, he is no longer your mentor, and your relationship at that time is not considered a violation of discipline. ”

Jing Hao said again and again: "Oh, don't talk nonsense. ”

Zhang Yiyun said again: "Really, the British are very conservative, they look at this kind of thing more seriously than us Chinese, if there is a teacher-student love before graduation, don't say that something really happened, that is, nothing happened to the two, just being chased by others and passing around, your handsome professor may also be affected by his reputation!" ”

Jing Hao explained to Zhang Yiyun: "Oh, you are really talking nonsense, we are the most ordinary teachers and students, and we are talking about things related to homework together, is it illegal?" I happened to go to buy books and check information together just now, don't contact randomly, why are you still involved in the teacher-student relationship, and you can't beat the eight poles. Besides, he is middle-aged and elderly, he is completely an uncle, and he is a handsome guy......"

Jing Hao recalled the pictures one by one, and understood more why Harry sometimes saw her on campus, and would change his expression to an indifferent expression, the two walked in the park and on the path, and even met on the road at night, and when Harry sent her home, there was always a distance of about a meter between their shoulders, and people who didn't know them, from a distance, couldn't actually see that these two people were peers...... He is indeed deliberately keeping his distance, and he is always paying attention.

Zhang Yiyun on the other side of the phone suddenly changed the topic at this time, saying that his in-laws' company would send a small team to Mrs. Chen's company to inspect a few more times, invite a few professionals, do a risk assessment, and maybe add a large amount of investment, because they feel that the project Mrs. Chen is doing is quite promising.
