Chapter 423 The Bookstore Encounter
After dealing with the design of the park, Laila can finally relax for a while.She was indeed too tired recently, and after she finished dealing with the things in hand, she felt that going for a walk should be a good way to relax.The sad thing is that she turned on the phone, but she still didn't find anyone she could drink tea with or be called a friend.

It's not that she didn't want to make friends in the past, but there is a saying that it is too cold to be at a high place. Standing where she is, it is already difficult to simply find a friend.

When ordinary people see her, they either become fans or passers-by. Few of them will really treat her as a friend in a calm manner.Even if there is, it takes a lot of luck to meet in the vast sea of ​​people.

The sad thing is that the youngest of her colleagues is also 20 years older than her. It’s okay to meet and talk about movies with those people occasionally, but she really doesn’t want to think about that scene after doing it.

As for the children from rich families who are about the same status as her... She has never had a good impression of those people because of her relationship in her previous life.In her previous life, in order to get sponsorship money, she spent all day among those people and saw too many nasty things, which brought her dislike of this group to this life.

And she doesn't like to attend receptions and dances, and even the charity auctions that many people like, she usually just doesn't have enough money.She is not the innocent little Laila who grew up in the hospital bed, but a woman who has seen many dark sides.So she can clearly see what the other people's eyes on her mean.When out socializing, those ulterior stares just made her sick.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all the kids from rich families are playboys, but that she was only able to contact those people in her previous life.How can the really promising second generations have anything to do with her as a young director?Invest in her to make a movie?Hehe, why?There are a lot of great directors who have proven their abilities to let those people choose, who would care about her?
This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, and it becomes an embarrassing situation right now.The only eccentric forensic doctor Zeni who can be regarded as a brother and a friend is even more elusive and invisible. If you expect to find him for a coffee, it is more likely to call Roy out.

It's a pity that Roy has to recite the lyrics and correct his pronunciation, so he must not be disturbed.So after enjoying a delicious lunch at the reserved restaurant, she walked slowly along the street, intending to visit a nearby bookstore.As for the bodyguards, they still followed from a distance, neither disturbing her wandering nor attracting too much attention.

Laila wants to take advantage of this free time to go to the bookstore, just to see if there are any interesting new books that can supplement her study, and at the same time, she also wants to see if there are any copyrights worth buying to enrich her future filming plans.

The smell in the bookstore is one that she likes very much, especially when the pages of new books are turned, the smell is refreshing and refreshing.

A good book can bring many things to people, it may be a wonderful and strange journey, it may be a bowl of chicken soup that warms the soul, or it may be a sigh of history...

"Ah, sorry!"

When a person walked by, the big bag on her back hit Laila's back, knocking her staggering.Fortunately, she supported it on the bookshelf, so she didn't fall to the ground in shame.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it, are you okay?" The other party quickly apologized and reached out to help her.

Laila waved her hand and refused his support: "It's okay."...No wonder!She gritted her teeth in secret, how could she be okay if she was hit by such a backpack full of heavy objects.It's just that she didn't want to attract too much attention, so the big thing was turned into a small one.

It was a young man, about 24 or [-], holding a few paper bags in his hands and a backpack full of things on his back, as if he had just swept the bookstore.

"I'm really sorry, I took too many things. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" The man apologized one after another, but he lowered his head, and a pile of booklets fell out of the paper bag in his arms.

"Oh, sh..." The man was about to swear when he suddenly remembered that there was a beautiful girl standing in front of him, and immediately swallowed the remaining half of the syllable.

He felt that he was really unlucky today, and he knew that he should go home and put down his things before buying books, but he didn't mess everything up to save that little travel expenses and time.

He didn't need to look to guess how ridiculous his embarrassment looked to others, so he didn't speak anymore, but lowered his head and picked up the booklets on the ground one by one.

Laila knelt down to help him pick up a few books, only to find that the booklets were full of comics with colored pages.Speaking of comics in the United States, DC's Superman, Batman, and Marvel's Captain America, Thor, etc. will come to mind.Unlike various types of comics in Japan, there seems to be only one kind of superhero comics that the mainstream here can think of.

"Sorry." The man had already picked up the other comic books, and looked at the comics in Lila's hand with some embarrassment.

He knows that people outside think that only idlers and children like comics. Although it is a very unreasonable and wrong misunderstanding, when he thinks that the girl in front of him thinks the same way, he has a very embarrassing feeling .

Lila smiled and handed him the comic book: "You like Steven?"

The man froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "You like comics too?"

The reason for this question is because if you don’t like comics, people who read comics will at most call him “Captain America” instead of Steven!
As soon as she called out, he immediately felt like he had found a partner.If this beautiful girl likes comics as much as he does, maybe they have a lot of common language, or maybe he can invite her to have a coffee or something?

"Yes, I like comics." Laila stood up with a smile, not saying that what she liked more was the profits that these comics could bring when they were adapted into movies.

But her attitude has already explained everything, the man does not know how long it has been since he met a beautiful girl who laughed at him when he saw that he liked comics, the disgusted look in her eyes was rewarding a lot.

"Hello, my name is Owen, Owen Felton." He hastily freed a hand and reached out to her.

Laila hooked the corners of her lips, reached out and shook him lightly: "Hi, I'm Laila."

Someone once said that when you introduce yourself, you can see the nature of this person from "my name is so-and-so" and "I am so-and-so".Usually, people who introduce themselves as I am XX will be more confident, while I am XX lacks some vigor and is more kind.

After introducing herself, she suddenly remembered the passage she had read, and couldn't help but think about it, and it seemed that it really made sense.

"Hello, Laila." Owen happily retracted his hand, feeling a little heat remaining on his palm, and felt his heart beating uncontrollably.

 Monday is here, don't you feel that the tickets in your hands are too heavy?Throw it to Lao Zhuang here! ~
