The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 331, full of talents, can you stay tonight? (Please subscribe!)

  Rowling in the previous life is a well-known figure all over the world, and Zhang Xuan naturally knew her real person.

  Although he is only 28 and 29 now, his face contour has been finalized, and there is no big difference from later generations.

   looks plain, this is the first impression Rowling left on Zhang Xuan.

   Extremely introverted and extremely unconfident This is Rowling's second impression of Zhang Xuan.

   The clothes are simple, even shabby, and anyone with a little life experience can see at a glance that this woman is in poverty and hardship.

   This delicate and ordinary appearance has absolutely no legendary shadow of self-confidence, love of life, and fanaticism in the news reports of later generations.

  When Zhang Xuan pretended to look at her inadvertently, she just glanced at each other quickly, then lowered her head, and rummaged through the books on the shelf.

   A few seconds later, when Zhang Xuan was still quietly looking at herself, Rowling's own rhythm became chaotic, and her hands hurriedly touched book after book without purpose. But his eyes unconsciously scrutinize his clothes and pants, is there a gaffe?

   Seeing her cramped, Zhang Xuan calmly retracted his gaze, and pretended to rummage through magic books.

   A few minutes later, Zhang Xuan felt something, and he casually got the book that Rowling wanted.

  Rowling saw that her book was taken first, and her outstretched hand suddenly stopped in the air.

At this time, Zhang Xuan looked at her sideways, looked at her very seriously, but only looked at her for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, it was as if nothing had happened. He quietly put the book back in his hand, and picked up another one. Ben left, went to the side and read it carefully.

   From the moment Zhang Xuan put back the book and turned to leave, Rowling, who was dodging her eyes just now, immediately cast her gaze on Zhang Xuan.

   carefully placed it on Zhang Xuan's back.

   Later, when she saw that Zhang Xuan didn't pay attention to herself at all, Rowling took her eyes back and reached out to pick up the book just now.

   The first day just passed. The two passed by peacefully.

   Except for the first look at each other, they never said a word. The two seemed to be about 5 meters apart.

   The next day, Zhang Xuan arrived at the City Hall Library on time.

  Somewhat unexpectedly, Rowling was already there, looking down at the book where she was yesterday.

   Seeing Zhang Xuan, she was reading a book beside her. Rowling paused, feeling a little cramped. For the next few minutes, she quietly looked at Zhang Xuan from the corner of her eye.

   Later, when Zhang Xuan was still immersed in the book like yesterday, Rowling slowly put her heart back, leaving a minute to observe the outside, and 9 minutes to continue looking for information.

   In the following days, the two saw each other every day.

   Sometimes Zhang Xuan arrives early, sometimes Rowling arrives early.

   At the beginning, Rowling still seemed to be a little afraid of Zhang Xuan, afraid of Zhang Xuan's indifferent eyes on the first day.

   But from the 4th day, Rowling seems to have gotten used to Zhang Xuan reading a book not far away.

   From then on, the two of them did not break the river, and they looked at each other without saying hello.

  September 13th.

  London in the morning was still sunny, but it became cloudy at noon, and lightning flashed in the afternoon, and the sky was pouring rain.

   As usual, Rowling left the library on time.

   Zhang Xuan looked up at the sky outside, thought about it, put the book back in its original position, picked up the umbrella and followed him out.

  This umbrella was taken this morning when Xie Qi reminded him that it might rain today.

   However, Zhang Xuan was not very close, but was purely curious to see what this down-and-out lady looked like when she returned home?

  Because she didn't bring an umbrella.

   The rain outside was heavy and violent. Rowling, who was a little anxious, glanced at the cheap watch, and finally gritted her teeth and rushed out in the rain.

   is really alive.

   It's just that Zhang Xuan hadn't finished slandering when he saw Rowling collided with an elderly lady in the heavy rain.

  No, it should be said that Rowling ran too fast, accidentally slipped down when going down the steps, slipped, and then knocked the old lady in front of her flying.

   It was so hard to die, the old lady's rounded arm hit the sharp corner of the steps, and the blood flowed like a stream.

   The key is that the old lady is too old. After being hit on her back, she almost didn't get up. She was lying on the ground breathing heavily and couldn't get up.

   Seeing this scene and seeing the scene of blood, Rowling's whole person was immediately dumbfounded, and she couldn't care about getting up.

  Rowling went to help Auntie, but she didn't dare to use any force, so she didn't get up for a while.

   Seeing this, Zhang Xuan thought for a few seconds, followed with an umbrella, and first glanced at the old lady on the ground at a very fast speed. Seeing that the old lady had a kind-hearted look, she started to help.

   It's not that he is overhearted, but that he is really frightened by the news of later generations, and he does not dare to help the old man easily.

  If it’s in China, forget it. People these days are relatively simple. If you do a good deed, do a good deed, and there will be no problems.

   But this is abroad. If you encounter unreasonable people, you have to delay for a long time.

   Seeing Zhang Xuan offering a helping hand in time, Rowling glanced gratefully, and also trotted over to help the other side.

   Although the old lady is old, as expected, she is not bad. I simply took a medicine at a small private clinic nearby, and they left.

  The old lady didn't blame Rowling throughout the whole process, and even comforted her in turn.

   But comfort is comfort, but Rowling still has to pay for the medical expenses.

   But Rowling rummaged through all her pockets and found only £9.

   In the end, there was no way out, Rowling looked at Zhang Xuan with a look of help, and at this young man who had known each other for a week.

   Zhang Xuan was speechless, knowing that you are in a downfall now, but I didn't expect you to be so downright now.

   But in the next second, Zhang Xuan felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be taken for granted.

  Everyone is on government relief, and the weekly relief is only £10.50. The job is unstable, and there is a child to support. How much money can I have in my pocket?

   Gentleman Zhang Xuan smiled at her and helped to settle the money without her speaking.

   "Thank you." This was the first sentence Rowling said to him. She was not loud and lacked confidence, but she was sincere.

   Zhang Xuan didn't bother much about this issue. He looked up and saw that it was dark before he knew it.

   held an umbrella and asked her: "Do you live far away, do you want me to take you?"

   Being stared at by Zhang Xuan's fiery eyes, Rowling's face suddenly became hot, and she herself felt absurd.

  Rowling pointed to the front, "My temporary residence is over there, not far."

   How can I answer this question, I live so close, should I send it or not?

   But this question stumped him for a while, and the next second Zhang Xuan said in a big way: "Really? It's such a coincidence that I happen to be living in that direction, let's go, let's go together."

  Rowling gave him a strange look, without disclosing it, after hesitating for a few seconds, she agreed.

   An umbrella for two people, walking side by side in the rain.

   Crossing a street and turning two corners, Rowling stopped.

  Rowling pointed to a side alley and said, "I live here, do you want to go in for a cup of coffee?"

   Zhang Xuan pretended to be reserved: "Is it convenient?"

  Rowling nodded, "I live alone, which is convenient."

   What?

You live by yourself?

  Children not here?

   What do you mean by that?

  Daikoku's

  Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but glance at other people's bodies, guilty and guilty, this is not his own food at all.

   may have sensed Zhang Xuan's thoughts. Rowling's face was a little strange, but fortunately the sky was dark, covering up the embarrassment.

  The temporary residence is on the first floor. The house is not big. There is a table, a bed, and some simple cooking utensils.

  Rowling greeted Zhang Xuan to sit down and hurried to the shower room to change clothes.

   Zhang Xuan glanced at the shower room and suddenly thought about it, this woman who has been empty for a year will not look at her own face, think about it.

   I really don’t blame myself for thinking too much. Western women seem to be extraordinarily pursuing freedom in terms of sex.

   In a previous life, he had read a news article saying that there was a female star in the United States who met a strange man in the elevator, and had an encounter in the elevator on the spot, regardless of the fact that there was a surveillance camera on her head.

  Thinking, Zhang Xuan quickly shook his head, looked at the house slowly, and finally landed on the desk.

   There is a stack of manuscripts on it.

   Zhang Xuan thought, wouldn't it be "Harry Potter"?

   With this thought, he walked over involuntarily.

   Just glanced at the manuscript, Zhang Xuan's mood immediately became numb, and he was very depressed.

  The first thought in my mind was: What a **** waste of time.

   As expected, Rowling has already started writing "Harry Potter".

   Actually, Zhang Xuan had already prepared for this scene.

  Especially when the London library staff told him that he had met Rowling, he was prepared.

   It’s just that he didn’t give up, so he continued to come to the City Hall Library.

   Just then, just as Zhang Xuan felt emotional, Rowling came out of the shower.

   Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Rowling did not blame, but said with an embarrassed expression: "I wrote this randomly, and the level is limited, which makes you laugh."

   is indeed limited, and there are two words between the lines: Xiaobai.

   Or to put it another way: the writing is immature, the writing skills are not solid, and the nib cannot express profound thoughts.

   But fortunately, creativity can be, this is the basis of fire.

   Zhang Xuan smiled, thought for a while and replied, "This theme is good, and I'm also thinking about a book with a similar theme recently."

   Thinking that he is also reading magic books every day, Rowling was confused for a while, then disappeared immediately, and then asked in surprise: "Are you a writer?"

   Zhang Xuan admitted it simply: "My profession is writing, and I have already published several books in our country."

   Seeing that he has met his peers, who are still far too much better than himself, Rowling's mind suddenly broadened a lot.

   asked tentatively: "Are you from China?"

   Zhang Xuan nodded, then fixedly looked into her eyes and observed her expression.

   He knows that because of the control of public opinion by the Western mainstream media, most ordinary Europeans have serious deviations in their cognition of the country these days.

   Even 20 years after the new century, in such a developed Internet age, there are still people in the West who think that the great Eastern countries are poor and backward.

   It's really short-sighted, I can't make sense...

In fact, Zhang Xuan has always had an idea in his heart. When he planned to change his vest to write a new book, he always had an idea: through his own pen, through his status as a world-renowned writer, let some people of insight get to know China again, and then through his own pen They pass on objective things by word of mouth.

   Let the great image of China slowly spread to the world.

  Although Zhang Xuan can't achieve this great wish alone, it cannot be achieved by a single person either.

   But as a Chinese, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, I have this responsibility and this obligation.

   Even if the ability is limited and the influence is limited, just do your best.

   Don’t try to reach the sky in one step, don’t try to change the world with your own power. Just do what you can.

   There is an old saying that goes: A thousand miles of embankment collapses in an ant's nest.

   He is going to be one of those tens of millions of ants, to break through the ideological barriers of foreigners, and let them experience the power of the oriental dragon.

   Thinking of the difficulties of the Olympic bid, the national celebration after the successful bid, and the hardships of joining the WTO, Zhang Xuan felt obliged.

   Seeing Rowling, Zhang Xuan had an idea in his mind, before this woman became a social elite, before she became a world-class well-known figure, give her some views, maybe it can change her.

  Because he knows that once these people have transformed into social elites, they will be easily influenced by the general environment of the elite, and thus become arrogant, turn a blind eye, and easily lie.

   Therefore, to influence a person, we must influence her from the most helpless and most difficult time, and leave traces in her heart. In this way, the cost is the lowest, and the reward is often the greatest.

   Of course, if the bamboo basket draws water in the end, it's all empty. That's okay, anyway, "Harry Potter" can't be written, anyway, "Harry Potter" is also someone else's, just relax and relax.

   His temperament is never forced.

   Facing Rowling's question, Zhang Xuan politely smiled and said, "Yes, from China."

   Then he stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, let me meet you. My name is Zhang Xuan. It's a pleasure to meet you."

   Rowling was stunned for a while, then she stretched out her hand in panic and joy, and shook it: "Hello, my name is Rowling, and it's nice to meet you too."

   Then Rowling brewed coffee, Zhang Xuan drank coffee, and the two who found a common topic were like a dam releasing floods, and they opened the chat box at once, and they talked about magic for more than two hours.

After   , Zhang Xuan felt that it was getting late, so he was forced to stop chatting when he said goodbye.

  Rowling said sincerely and respectfully: "Zhang, it's really my honor to know you, it has benefited me a lot, thank you."

   Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "We can be considered friends, so don't be so polite, then I'll leave today, see you in the library tomorrow."

  Rowling looked at him shyly and expectantly: "See you tomorrow."

   Zhang Xuan left, stretched his waist, and left refreshed.

   Through careful observation, this **** is a blank piece of paper, and has not been polluted into the future.

   Actually think about it, the shy Rowling is the real look in the early stage.

   Rowling's childhood was unfortunate because of her parents' dislike.

   And her ex-husband is a manic man. He often yells at Rowling for trivial matters. As long as she dares to raise her head to argue, she will wave violent fists.

   In the torture of her ex-husband day by day, Rowling gradually lost confidence in life

   Also because of this failed marriage, the lonely and helpless Rowling often falls into self-doubt and self-denial.

So when Zhang Xuan suddenly broke into her life, when Zhang Xuan was very different from the people around her, was warm and friendly to her, and behaved very gentlemanly and very talented, Rowling came to life and talked for two hours. , her whole body and mind were filled with joy.

   Listening to Zhang Xuan's words of encouragement and praise from time to time, she felt recognized and respected, and almost burst into tears.

   Zhang Xuan was thinking as he walked, with the curiosity and friendliness that Rowling showed to him tonight, if she wanted to undress, it would not be difficult at all...

   It's just a pity, she's really not her own food.

   If you change to Zhou’s wife, then you can still use snacks and some small tricks…

   "Beep beep...beep beep..."

   Just when Zhang Xuan was full of ambition and cranky, the BB machine rang.

   You don't have to look to know who it is, it must be Xie Qi.

   Afraid that others would be worried, Zhang Xuan also gathered his mind and hurriedly returned to the entrance of the library.

   Across the road, Xie Qi saw him from afar.

   It’s just that Zhang Xuan didn’t have time to explain, Xie Qi took the lead and said apologetically:

   "I have an interview assignment today. I'm quite busy, so I'm late."

  Well, listening to her say this, Zhang Xuan didn't bother to explain.

   Zhang Xuan took the initiative to skip this, and said with a smile that didn't matter: "I'm a little hungry, let's not go back to cook today, I'll treat you and have a good meal outside."

  Xie Qi looked at the time: "Okay, it's really getting late, I'm too lazy to do it, let's improve the food.

   But I invite you today, and you invite me another day. "

   Zhang Xuan followed and got into the car, jokingly said, "That won't work, I'll invite you today, and I'll invite you another day. I'm a big writer, and I have money, so don't save me money on meals."

  Xie Qi smiled, looked at him sideways, and focused on driving.

   In the next few days, Zhang Xuan went to the City Hall Library on time. And every time I go, Rowling arrives.

   Don't know when?

   I don’t know if it’s an illusion?

  Rowling's outfit seems to have changed.

   I don't know who invited whom, but I became a frequent visitor to this humble house.

   When Zhang Xuan noticed this later, he was a little stunned. Could this woman be attracted by her beautiful face?

   But it shouldn’t be!

  East and West have different aesthetics, and East and West are blind to each other.

   What is considered good-looking in China may not be considered good-looking by others. vice versa.

   Just as Zhang Xuan stared at her face, Rowling uttered a heartfelt compliment and looked at him with admiration: "Zhang, you are so amazing, you are so talented."

No way?

   Is it an illusion again?

   This woman's eyes are shining! It's really shining!

   It seems to be raining again and it’s getting dark again!

   Zhang Xuan was shocked, and after a few words, he said goodbye as usual.

   But this time Rowling didn't let him go, but raised her head and asked, "Zhang, are you leaving, are you going back to China?"

   Zhang Xuan was stunned and asked her, "Why do you think so?"

  Rowling said: "Women's intuition tells me you're leaving."

  A woman's intuition is accurate, but it's a magical thing...

   To meet her gaze, Zhang Xuan nodded lightly and explained:

   "I've been out for a while, and I have to go back. There are still many things in the country."

   Hearing his exact answer, Rowling looked a little frustrated.

  Looking at each other, Rowling, who was standing in place for a long time, suddenly gathered up her courage and said, "If you can, stay tonight, I still have a lot of things I want to ask you for..."

Um? ! !

   Zhang Xuan is in a trance, is it really that straightforward?

   Is it really that hot?

   As expected of... As expected of...

   It’s so different from women in China!

   Seeing that Zhang Xuan was stunned, as if she knew that Zhang Xuan was determined to leave, a touch of shame flashed across Rowling's face, then she stood on tiptoe and kissed him under Zhang Xuan's gaze.

   took a step back and said, "Zhang, getting to know you is the most valuable asset in my life. Talking to you, many things in my heart that were covered by the fog suddenly became clear and clear, thank you."

Hey! This passionate young lady...

   Zhang Xuan smiled and shook his head: "No thanks, we are friends."

   Hearing the word "friend", Rowling's nervousness suddenly softened, and then she turned around and quickly took the pen and paper, handed it over and said eagerly:

   "Zhang, you are leaving, you are leaving with a lot of talent, please leave me some ink."

   Zhang Xuan thought for a while, but did not refuse, but took over the pen and began to write: suffering, for the weak, it is the grave leading to death, while for the strong, it is the soil for the growth of ambition.

   After finishing writing in one go, Zhang Xuan put the pen on the table and said:

   "This is Rousseau's famous saying, he told us that in this journey full of surprises, very few people's life is smooth, and most people struggle in the sea of ​​hardships. Learn to be strong."

  Rowling liked these words that fit her life very much. She looked down at it for a full minute before saying to him, "It's so well written, your English is so beautiful."

"thanks."

   After a few seconds of hesitation, Rowling asked again, "What is your pen name in China?"

   Zhang Xuan told her: "It's called March,"

"March?"

   "Well, you can look in a bookstore in London, maybe you'll find my book."

   "Really?" Rowling couldn't believe it, stunned.

   "Of course, the English name is TheMassage."

   "Oh! You are amazing!"

  "..." Zhang Xuan smiled and said nothing.

   After chatting for a small meeting, Zhang Xuan again bid farewell.

   Rowling, who had been politely rejected, no longer had the courage to keep him for the night. Just ask for his contact information and send him outside the gate.

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

  ps: Rowling is an important foreshadowing, please be patient.

   Please subscribe! Ask for a monthly pass!

   (Thank you for your support, but please take good care of everyone. March is made of flowers and it is easy to break...)
