Chapter 3: An Unexpected Breakup

readx;?“ In your opinion, the pyramids of ancient Egypt were meant to convey information? ”

"That's pretty much it, I've seen a lot of legends about the pyramids in Egypt, among which the most information is conveyed and the resurrection is ascended to heaven, and I personally think that the resurrection is unlikely, so the transmission of the message is the most likely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info? Wen? w?w?w?.?”

"What about your own point of view?"

"My own point of view? In China, there is a great man who said that without investigation there is no voice. I have never been to Egypt, let alone studied the pyramids, and I still know about Egyptian culture from a friend, so I can only explain it with the legends in the books. ”

"And your friend taught you the Egyptian language?"

"Yes," Zhang Xiaofan chatted a lot with Laura, but he didn't expect that this woman was not only young and beautiful, but also erudite, from England to China, and from the ancient Great Wall, along India all the way to the west, all the way to Egypt, can have her own unique opinions.

"You speak Egyptian fluently, but it doesn't look like you learned it alone." Laura still didn't believe it.

"I've been to Egypt and lived in Cairo for about three years, mainly to learn the ancient Egyptian language," Zhang Xiaofan didn't intend to lie, but his knowledge was more profound than Laura's, which caused this woman's original trust in herself to drop to five points, and even now, I'm afraid there is no one.

"You've been born in China, studied in New York, spent time in Egypt, traveled to France, India, Southeast Asia, Japan, and even Russia and Africa. I'm really curious about what Mr. Zhang used to do. ”

"Explorer, I've already said it at the beginning," Zhang Xiaofan smiled, one lie needs another lie to cover up, and he is more wrong to say now.

"Yes, explorer, I said it at the beginning," Laura shook her head and smiled, she was really sensitive, if the man in front of her was not her neighbor, she wouldn't have probed for so long. But although I don't have a bit of trust, it still feels pretty good.

When parting, Laura turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang, an entertainment actress is not suitable for being with an explorer. ”

"I've washed my hands now and I'm sure there's no other problem." Zhang Xiaofan sent Laura away, and then he took a long breath, talking to a smart woman was really too draining, and it was even more wasteful than the last time he talked to the earl's daughter.

"Hey," a woman suddenly leaned over again.

"Hello," Zhang Xiaofan looked up, and it turned out to be the earl's daughter.

"Why are you surprised to see me?" The earl's daughter changed into a pleated tunic lady dress embellished with orchids today, and her blond hair was draped over her shoulders, which was particularly beautiful.

"No, it's just that I had a conversation with a very powerful woman just now, and I felt very laborious," Zhang Xiaofan said bluntly.

"Haha, you're really interesting," the earl's daughter was very open when she was with Zhang Xiaofan, maybe she knew that Zhang Xiaofan was telling the truth, and responded: "Laura Croft just now is Lord Croft's daughter, fifteen years ago, after Lord Croft disappeared, she supported the Croft family alone, but she refused to accept the application for a knighthood. ”

"Oh? Why? Zhang Xiaofan didn't know about this.

The earl's daughter explained: "When Laura was ten years old and after Lord Croft disappeared, although everyone helped organize the funeral, Laura always thought that her father had just gone far away and would be back soon. ”

"It's a sad story."

"Yes," the count's daughter also felt sad for Laura, but this sympathy came and went quickly, and quickly smiled: "I heard that Laura does not have a boyfriend yet, and you live so close to her, there is still a good chance." ”

"I have a girlfriend." Zhang Xiaofan replied with a smile.

"But you're not going to get married," said the count's daughter, "I mean, after you break up with Kate, you can chase Laura." ”

"Walter?" Zhang Xiaofan felt as if he hadn't heard clearly.

"I mean, after you break up with that female star Kate, you can continue to chase Laura." The count's daughter continued: "I feel that you are quite worthy. ”

"I won't break up with Kate," Zhang Xiaofan tried to keep himself calm and said, "Although I came to live in the UK, I prefer traditional Chinese customs, I will marry Kate, have children, and then grow old." ”

"But she won't," said the count's daughter, with a strange look in her eyes, "I mean Kate, she's a female star, and now she probably thinks it's very comfortable to be with you, after all, you should have a lot of money, and you're also very generous, and you buy her a lot of gifts." But she won't marry you, and then give you a baby, and spend your whole life with you. ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Xiaofan felt a little depressed, he had experienced many women, including one-night stands or maintenance women, but if he really had feelings for a woman, Zhang Xiaofan still wanted to continue to persevere.

"Kate is a female star, her acting career has just begun, she ......" The earl's daughter wanted to continue, but suddenly saw Zhang Xiaofan's eyes a little scary, and quickly stopped: "Okay, I bless you, but as a friend who has met twice, China Zhang, you have to get used to the British thinking." ”

"Thank you," Zhang Xiaofan was educated, and he was in a bad mood, but he still refused to believe that Kate would leave him, knowing that he had all blown up other men in terms of cultural literacy, money and wealth, and even personal quality, how could Kate leave him.

Zhang Xiaofan just regarded the words of the earl's daughter as a small wave in his life, and then he didn't think much about it, but he and the earl's daughter, and even Laura slowly became friends, and Kate often met at some parties.

The breakup came suddenly.

In the fourth month of Zhang Xiaofan and Kate's dating and living together, Kate announced their breakup.

The reason is that a director proposed to her.

"I really don't know anything about British women," the breakup came quickly, but Zhang Xiaofan didn't feel sad, although he was the one who was dumped, but there were many discrete and convergent ones, and his mood was strong enough.

"Actually, it's not your reason, the main reason is that actresses in the entertainment industry are very complicated, their desire to be motivated is stronger than money, although you have money, you don't have any power in the UK, and it helps her in her career too little." The count's daughter's name is Tess.

It has the same name as the English writer Hardy's novel "Tess of the D'Urbergs".

I don't know if the earl has read the book Tess when he named his daughter, but the earl's daughter Tess is completely different from the Tess in the novel, she is a lady in front of the earl on the surface, but when she is with friends in private, she is very bold.

was even so bold that after learning that Zhang Xiaofan was dumped, he was willing to use his body to comfort him.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaofan is not shameless enough to ask a woman to comfort her with her body.

Tess accompanied Zhang Xiaofan for two weekends and had to return to school, where she attended Oxford University. Afterwards, Zhang Xiaofan learned that this woman was actually very open-minded and had three boyfriends in college, two of whom had slept with her.

That's what Laura told him again.

And Laura's confession is also very happy, revealing that she has dated four boyfriends, dumped two of them, was deceived by one, and one boyfriend was arrested.

"Okay," Zhang Xiaofan was lying on horseback, basking in the British sun, but his mood was dripping with a light rain in London, although he had been mentally prepared, but after learning about it, he was still very depressed.

"Hey, Zhang," Laura stabbed Zhang Xiaofan in the arm with a whip and laughed, "You won't be just a woman for Kate, will you?" ”

"Of course not, I have a lot of women, it's just ...... Forget it, let's not talk about this topic, as a friend, do you have any good projects lately? I can be a free thug," Zhang Xiaofan picked up the musket on his waist, pulled the trigger, and a water bottle in the distance exploded in response: "My marksmanship is okay, right?" ”

"Not bad," Laura's eyes lit up and she smiled, "I'm going to Argentina recently, are you interested?" ”

"Of course, being idle is idle anyway," Zhang Xiaofan counted the time, it is only April now, and there is still more than a month before the nine-star alignment that began on May 15, and he has not been to South America yet.

Laura smiled heartily, put away the whip, took her revolver, bumped, and practiced her marksmanship all the way forward, and where she walked, the portraits of bandits were torn by headshots.
