History of Noble Raising

It's dinner time! "

"Oh, that's really good news." Should he be thankful to Dan Humphrey for reaching out to the homeless VanderWolsen.

"Are you upset?" Serena said.

Eric didn't know how to answer, but he decided to throw Serina cold water, "I'm not unhappy, but I'm not happy either. I don't think it's a good idea to go to Humphrey's for Thanksgiving. I have nothing to do with them." Not familiar. I would rather stay in the hotel and order food, maybe Cinderella is not closed at this time."

"The Humphrey family is very nice. Believe me, you will like them." Serena obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with dragging her family to her boyfriend's house for a family dinner. "I've always wanted to introduce you and Known by Dan's sister, who goes to Constance and is in ninth grade like you."

There was a knock on the door at this time, and the dining trolley came in. Lily complained in her dressing gown, "You're early." She explained that she didn't want to be a burden to her daughter, so she didn't want to go to Humphrey's house. In fact, she just didn't want to Let the kids know that Rufus is an old acquaintance of hers.

While the family was still arguing, Dan had already stood at the door of the suite. Under his joking declaration of kidnapping, the Van der Woolsen family changed into out-of-the-way clothes and left the hotel. "Thanksgiving should be spent with the family." There is no way to refuse Serena's request.

They brought a bottle of good wine as a gift for a visit, but found the atmosphere a bit awkward before giving the gift.Lily and Rufus' wife are at odds, and the two can't even have a normal conversation.The kids then discover that the three grown-ups have known each other, and there's even been a rumored love triangle between them for years.

One Serena was lucky to be called away early by a phone call, but the remaining children had to endure the strange atmosphere at the dinner table.Rufus and Lily's old affairs were accidentally exposed, Alison left the table angrily, Dan chased his mother away, Eric and Jenny who didn't want to be caught between the two adults had to hide in the room inside.

Even thinking about the current situation, the two teenagers who had nowhere to go, both in the brother's room, still had nothing to say.Eric sat in a chair in a daze, he was thinking about some things, about the intricate relationships in the future, Alison eventually divorced Rufus, Bart married Lily, Bart faked his death, Lily married Rufus ...

"Eric, Eric!"

Eric knew that Jenny had called him several times, and he wasn't very willing to talk to him, and he didn't want to be rude, so he finally came back to his senses and smiled at her, "Sorry, I was distracted."

"Are you worrying about your mother and my father?" Compared with Eric, Jenny's attitude was much more earnest.

"Maybe," Eric replied a little casually, "I don't think I need to worry about adults."

Jenny didn't think so, "They are not strangers, they are our parents. I don't think children can ignore their parents' affairs."

"Maybe you meddle too much. I don't think they need help." Isn't it Jenny Humphrey who intervenes in other people's feelings with an innocent face every time, and then makes a mess of things?

"I didn't expect you to be such a person." Jenny was obviously offended by Eric's words, "So indifferent, even your parents don't care."

"What kind of person I am has nothing to do with you," Eric was irritated, "Why do you accuse me?!"

"I thought we were friends."

"Then you've been pretending to be affectionate for too long." The conversation was destined to break up without a word.

Eric picked up his coat, opened the door of the room and was about to leave. Dan had brought Alison back to relax, and the three adults stood in the living room and faced each other.Eric didn't want to hear their quarrel at all, and he was going back after saying hello.But at the gate, he met Serena who brought Blair back.

"Where are you going, the dinner is not over yet!"

"Palace Hotel," Eric said without turning his head, "don't worry, I won't starve to death, I will call and order." In the relationship between Linna and Dan, he just wanted to have a peaceful dinner, but was messed up by these plots.

He just doesn't want to accept that he's living in a TV show.

Eric was running while his thoughts were flying. He has always been a living person, he has independent thinking ability, good execution ability, and he has his own life plan, but now his name is Eric van der Woosen.

Serena's younger brother, Lily's son, lives in the Upper East Side of New York. He is 14 years old, Caucasian, blond, and his mother tongue is English.

From the moment Eric woke up in the Osterfokang Center, he pretended to accept the reality of rebirth, but he was struggling deep inside.He made his original phone number and searched the original social network page on the Internet, but found that all traces of his original life did not exist in this world, and the original him disappeared, or never appeared.

He tried to speak his mother tongue in his previous life, but found that the flat tongue, front and back nasal sounds that were so easy are now extremely difficult for him, and it is also difficult for him to distinguish the four tones. He downloaded a Chinese movie , He couldn't watch it after playing the first title, he couldn't understand the words in the movie at all.At the same time, he was able to understand large volumes of monographs in English, and even read codes full of technical terms without any problem.

He's alive now, it's just Eric van der Woolsen, and no one else.

He is in the confusion of self-knowledge. During this period of time, he has immersed himself in studying, canceling the subscription of GossipGirl, refusing to get involved with Serena's feelings, refusing to accept Jenny's advances, ignoring Lily's old love...all his resistance to the plot , he doesn't want to be that lonely little boy in "Gossip Girl", he wants to be himself.

think differently

Eric has been walking with his head buried in the family fun of half of the city, and he walked to the steps at the entrance of the Palace Hotel without knowing it. He looked at the brightly lit lobby of the hotel, and suddenly he didn't want to go in. There is only the top floor of the hotel here. That cold suite belongs to him temporarily, provided that Lily remembers to pay the rent on time.

He decided to go for a walk, maybe he could find a park and a bench, sit down and think about life.

Thinking about life, well, this is what Eric often does recently. He is always in a trance, staring at the water glass for a whole morning, full of right and wrong, showing the plot of this life and the previous life.He didn't have the courage to tell anyone other than himself about these crazy thoughts. He imagined the reaction of others after knowing his secret. The excessive mother may have sent him back to rehab.

No one will take his experience seriously.

Eric was walking aimlessly on the street, it was not too late, but the cold had already permeated.He wasn't wearing thick clothes, maybe he needed to find a place to shelter from the cold.

When he raised his head, he found a Catholic church in front of him.

He went in.There was no one there, only the shadow of the wall reflected by the clean marble floor.Eric found a seat at random and sat down. The sun outside the stadium had already set, and a colorful light came in through the stained glass.

There is a small room on the left side of the main hall of the church, with a wooden door painted with black paint.

That is the confessional, and you can tell any of your secrets in it, and no third person will know except the priest of the church and yourself.

Eric looked at the dark door, as if there was an invisible force retreating him into the room. Maybe he just walked in and closed the door, and he would be able to say all the things that were weighing on his heart with relief.

If you say it, you will be freed.

Eric thought so, and put one hand on the door of the confessional.

There was movement inside, he heard the sound of the chair squirming, and the gap under the door faintly exposed the golden soles, and there was a string of factory numbers on them.Someone had entered the confessional before him, and she was confessing her sins to God, and there was a priest hiding behind the confessional to accept the confession of the believers.

A great panic rose in Eric's heart.The person sitting inside may be someone he knows (of course, it is more likely that he does not know), he will watch the other person walk out of the confession room, and then walk into the room full of other people's secrets under the other person's gaze and say My own thoughts, facing the same priest.His confession may not be as safe as imagined.

Eric's determination just now was shattered, he turned and walked out of the church quickly.

"I just want to go home now, take a shower, and sleep under the covers." Eric had only one thought when he returned to the street again, "I'm just moaning, when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be fine." Get better."

After waking up the next day, the world hadn’t changed in any way. Serena and Lily had a good chat yesterday, which temporarily resolved the child’s doubts about his mother’s past.Eric was asleep when they got back, so they decided to talk to Eric about how he was doing at Dan's house in the morning.

But the mother and daughter had to postpone the plan because Eric fell ill.

He had a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit and couldn't even get up in the morning.Lily noticed something was wrong when she woke him up, and immediately invited the family doctor to see him.

The result of the diagnosis is that Eric was blown in the cold wind for too long yesterday, and he caught a cold and caused a fever.His physique has weakened a lot since the last suicide, so this cold directly turned into pneumonia, which required immediate treatment.

Eric was sent to the hospital in a coma, and it was already evening when he woke up. He was lying on the hospital bed with a hanging bottle in his hand.

"What's wrong with me?" He just felt a little uncomfortable, his head hurt a little, why was he sent to the hospital ward.

Lily sat by the bed, "Honey, your fever caused pneumonia, and the doctor said you need to rest."

"I shouldn't have stayed outside for so long yesterday. I thought my health wasn't that bad." Eric thought about yesterday's experience, and decided to regret that he didn't go back early, but he was a little anxious to speak, and he took a breath Too much air, so I coughed hard.

"Eric, it's not your fault, it's because I didn't take good care of you," Lily blamed herself even more than him, "Try not to talk from now on, you need to rest now."

Serena brought dinner, she bought sandwiches for Lily and herself, and a box of hot porridge for Eric.

Eric thanked him with a hoarse voice, then sat up from the hospital bed and finished the porridge with the help of the two.

Fortunately, Eric's fever subsided quickly, and the doctor announced that his temperature had returned to normal when it was just dark. After another day of observation, if the condition does not recur tomorrow, he can be considered for discharge from the hospital, but he must persist at home. Take the medicine and see a doctor for a review after a week.

Serena took the initiative to stay with her at night.

She was surprisingly quiet today, and Eric felt that Serena had something to say to him alone at night.Sure enough, after seeing off the doctor and Lily in the ward, she assumed the posture of having a long talk.

"Eric, do you want to rest now?" Serena moved the nursing bed to the side of the hospital bed, "I want to talk to you."

Even if he wants to take a break and look at you, he won't give up easily, Eric sighed in his stomach, and changed himself into a comfortable position to listen to Serena.

"First of all, I'm sorry for letting you go home alone yesterday," Serena said with a serious face, "and for going to Humphrey's for dinner against your wishes."

"So you know I don't want to go." Eric didn't expect his rejection of the Humphreys to be so obvious.

"Yes," Serena said seriously, "I know Mom doesn't like Dan, but she still agreed to our date. I thought your distaste for Humphrey was due to unfamiliarity, and it will change after getting along .Especially Jenny, I thought you'd be great friends."

"I don't like them," Eric said emphatically, "and it doesn't matter who they are. I believe Dan and Rufus are good people, or you and Mom wouldn't like them, and I believe Jenny is a Capable girl, or Blair wouldn't be willing to ask her to help. I just don't like them."

"I'm worried about you," Serena changed the subject. "I don't think you're the same. Mom and I think you're acting differently this year."

They still found that he was different from the original Eric, and it was easy to show his feet when he got along day and night.

"We think the accident changed you, and any change that happens when the boy grows up is understandable," Serena continued, "but we're family, and you should talk to us, Let us know what you're up to."

"Serena, if I tell you what's on my mind, can you keep it a secret for me?" Eric was moved by the words, and suddenly had the idea of ​​telling.

"Of course, I promise not to tell anyone."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you tell others, because no one will believe it." Eric said, "I'm not the original Eric..."

He is a Chinese, born in China, Chinese from the novel, with a pair of parents.He grew up slowly, and his parents divorced, but they didn't want to live with him. He could only live with his grandparents, but fortunately, the parents were able to pay the maintenance on time every month.He continued to grow, was admitted to university, and his grandparents passed away, so he became very lonely.He was lucky to meet several good friends, and often had dinner and chat together.Then, he died.In a car accident, when crossing the road, he was hit by a drunk truck, and his body was in disarray.When he opened his eyes again, he became Eric. He has the memory of Eric's life, and he speaks fluent English.He began to be confused about who he was, the 20-year-old Chinese named Cui Huan, or the 14-year-old Eric van der Woosen.He felt like he had taken over Eric's body and raped his family.

Eric puts his confusion in front of Serena, he can't figure out who he really is.

Serena obviously didn't know how to deal with this problem, "Could this be a dream..."

"A dream so real? A dream that recorded 20 years of lifelike experience?" It was so real that it was impossible to tell whether it was true or not. "I tried to call China and send emails to friends in my memory, but they all failed. "

"This shows that it is indeed a dream," Serena helped Eric make a judgment, "Can you speak Chinese now?"

Eric tried to pronounce it, but failed.

"Do you remember your house number in China?"

Eric tried to remember, but couldn't remember.

"You can understand it in another way," Serena said, "you committed suicide and fell into a coma, and you had a dream while you were comatose, or even more fantastically, your soul experienced an out-of-body experience during the coma. We all know you You like Chinese culture, so you set the background of your dream in China. The divorce of your parents in the dream is a projection of reality, your loneliness is the voice of your heart, and your friends are because of your desire."

"It really makes sense according to your explanation." Eric said with a smile, "Why don't you suspect that I am the evil spirit that snatched your brother?"

"Because I believe in you, and I believe in myself." Serena replied without hesitation, "Eric, we grew up together. You like to eat French fries with salt and pepper over ketchup, and you always brush your teeth first in the morning." Brush your upper teeth, then your lower teeth, and finally your tongue, you like to touch your ears when you're nervous..." Eric is touching his ears now! "If you change your soul, I will definitely find out immediately."

Eric was touched by the words, "Thank you, Serena." He was a self-righteous jerk by comparison, isolating himself because of a chaotic dream.Of course, Eric thinks that Serena's out-of-body statement is more likely. He came into contact with another parallel world while in a coma, and then came back with the plot of "Gossip Girl".

"But you tortured yourself for months because of a dream?! You never tried to ask us for help!" Serena changed her tone, "I think you need to have a good talk with your mother."

patient plan

Eric followed Serena's idea and thought, maybe he has always been the same soul, but experienced two ends of life in the gap of time and space?So knowing that the plot of "Gossip Girl" is just the spoils of time travel?

After finding the right way of thinking, all the tangled problems were immediately solved. He began to actively provide various new evidences for this explanation. His living habits—before suicide and now are the same, um, when he was Cui Heng. The same; his personality—the two lives are exactly the same, the only slight difference may be because one is 20 years old and the other is 14 years old; same.

Eric was a little confused, isn't Cui Heng really a character he imagined?

But now the biggest problem has been solved: he no longer has to despise himself for stealing other people's bodies, because this body has always been his own.

So what has he been struggling with for half a year? !Eric Mosey suddenly realized and began to review what he had done in the past six months, and suddenly felt that he was a snake maniac... The confusion of self-cognition is really harmful!

After Serena solved this unusual bear child, she still told Lily about it with Eric's consent.Of course, this is the next day.That night, Eric had a rare and peaceful sleep.

When he got up the next day, Eric sat on the hospital bed refreshed and finished taking the medicine. He was not in a good mood, the weather was good, the nurse was very beautiful, and even the Mediterranean Sea of ​​the bald doctor was brighter than ever.

The good news is always loaded in batches. After the doctor's examination, he announced that his physical indicators are all normal, and he can leave the hospital and go home to recuperate.Eric's mood index was almost off the charts. He jumped off the hospital bed and changed his clothes neatly. Serena and Lily beside the bed were stunned by his vivacity.

Her son/brother, are you sure you weren't transferred by some strange ghost last night?Why is today completely different from yesterday? ! !

I only stayed in the hospital for one day, and of course there was nothing to pack.Eric can be discharged from the hospital after changing his clothes, and Lily has already gone to the pharmacy to get the medicine she needs to take within three days.Next, Eric still needs to rest at home for a week. After the follow-up visit, he can go back to school after confirming his recovery.

Lily asked the driver to wait at the hospital gate. Just as the family of three walked out of the hospital gate, a black luxury car was driven over immediately, and the driver in a suit came down and opened the door.

The air conditioner adjusted the temperature of the car to the optimum level, and their driver ensured that they were seated steadily and then drove slowly towards the Palace Hotel.

Lily has something to say: "Eric, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital. I've heard Serena tell you about your...uh...dream. After thinking about it for a while, I think you need a psychiatrist."

"Oh, Mom, Eric just had a dream!" Serena found Lily's thoughts unbelievable, "He's not crazy!"

"Of course I know this. But his dream has affected real life." Lily insisted on her own opinion.

"I know I'm not crazy," Eric accepted Lily's suggestion calmly. "Actually, I plan to see a psychologist myself. I'm sure the experts can confirm that I am normal. Then you can not worried."

"Finally, there is still one person who can understand my good intentions." Lily said, "Now I will take you to have some snacks."

"Sorry, Mom," Serena said, not interested in having a snack, "I'm busy right now, and Eric needs a break too."

"But it's very important to our family, just the three of us." Lily persuaded, "It's been a long time since we went out for dim sum together."

Eric couldn't help but interjected, "The word 'the three of us' hasn't been used in a long time, Mom, every time you say 'the three of us', it means you're dating someone."

"Well, I don't care who you're dating, I just want you to remind me when the wedding is." Serena was so displeased with Lily's ongoing affairs that she'd rather take time off Go and help Blair fix the party list.

"Okay, okay," Lily probably felt that frequent divorces and marriages are not something to show off, "it's fine if you don't want to talk about it with me. But I want to tell you his name, because in the future you Will see each other often."

"It's Butterbass."

"Bartbas?!" Eric and Serena sat up straight in shock at the same time.

This is really amazing news.

Serena is obsessed with being brother and sister with arch-nemesis Chuck Bass, and Eric doesn't like Bart himself - given that he always has the same scary expression every time he sees him.

Serena is firmly opposed to Lily and Bart continuing to date, and Eric can't talk about it while annoyed that his memory of the "Gossip Girl" plot is getting blurred-he forgot that Lily and Bart got married.

Serena tries to argue: "He has a son Chuck and it scares me!!!"

Lily thought Serena's reaction was overblown, and she clearly didn't intend to listen to the kids, "Anyway, I'm not here to get your permission, I'm just informing you that I'm dating Bart. And I'm not planning on dating him Get married, just casually date."

As soon as I said this, the car just arrived at the entrance of the hotel, the door was opened, Serena and Lily broke up again.

Eric could only wave his hands, he really didn't know how to reconcile the relationship between the mother and daughter, they were equally stubborn.

When Sissy Rhodes arrived in Manhattan, Eric was still on sick leave. Recovery from pneumonia would take anywhere from a week to ten days, so Eric had to be confinement in a hotel suite until his family doctor showed mercy. Declare him cured - that day has not yet come.

Sissy, Eric's grandmother, is willing to leave her home in Hamptons and come to Manhattan, not only to visit her sick grandson, but also to take care of more important things - the annual celebrity social gathering prom.

The three generations of the Rhodes family are socialites, Sissy, Lily, and now Serena.Sissy is the chairperson of the social ball, she has been in this seat for 15 years, this year the committee of the event decided to invite Lily to join, so this year's social ball has become a big event for the whole family.But Serena didn't quite cooperate.She was influenced by Dan Humphrey to decide not to attend the social dance.

Eric thinks that grandma won't be happy for Serena to abandon the family tradition because of a poor boy. Of course, he, a sick person, can't witness the process of this matter with his own eyes. Maybe he can use GossipGirl to pay attention.

Since the apartment was being renovated, Sissy chose to stay at the Palace Hotel when she came to New York this time, and lived with her daughter and grandchildren.Eric was lucky enough to be the first to meet her.

He had no fever for a long time, but the cough had not completely stopped.The suite was well heated, and he decided to meet his grandmother in the living room.

It was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon when the door was knocked, which was exactly the same as the estimated arrival time in the previous phone call.

Eric opened the door and immediately received a hug from Sissy.

"Eric, thank you for coming out to greet me," Sissy said, "You're feeling better, aren't you?" After the greeting, she began to direct the guest room to move her luggage—several suitcases full of clothes, and a bottle of gin.

"Grandma, nice to meet you." Eric said with a smile, he sideways ushered Sissy onto the sofa.Cici is a very attractive person, even if she is a grandmother, she is still attractive.But she is Rhodes, and she has her family's strength, stubbornness, and so on.

Sissy has heard the news that her granddaughter is not going to the social dance, and she decides to do something to change her child's mind.

"So, can you talk to me about that Dan Humphrey thing now?" She opened the bottle, poured half a glass of gin into her glass, sat on the comfortable sofa, and started today's topic .

Eric was willing to cooperate with her, so he poured out all the things about the Humphrey family.His dislike for Humphrey hadn't changed. Since he couldn't stop his mother and sister from approaching them, it was still within his power to offer some information to their enemies.Eric thought so, since Sissy is willing to take the initiative to be a bad person, there is no loss for him to cooperate.

But Eric finally tried to make his own opinion, "Dan is as noble as his father, I don't think money can affect them, they don't realize that there is a difference between people, maybe you can Try something else." Whatever happened next would have nothing to do with him.

Sissy was about to leave after a short rest to supervise the rehearsal and venue preparations for the dance, and they bid farewell cordially.Eric walked into the room and turned on the computer after sending Sissy away.

He had Jonathan over after school to discuss hacking the GossipGirl website.

Eric has been planning to investigate GossipGirl's real body for some time. He knows that Dan is GossipGirl, but he doesn't have any evidence to prove it.Daniel Humphrey was a horrible man, and the longer I knew him, the more I felt that.The somewhat cynical literary youth that Eric often sees is also a decisive intelligence dealer at the same time, and he has to admire the other party's superb acting skills.Knowing that GossipGirl hides from his side, Eric can't do nothing.Before Dan could make a bigger impact, he had to figure out how to expose the crook for what he really was.

go to london for winter break

Jonathan successfully hacked into GossipGirl's mailbox in the second season of "Gossip Girl", but in the current time and space they are in, this has not happened, Eric tried to make it earlier-with mixed results As expected, they traced GossipGirl to the area where GossipGirl should be by looking up the registration information of the email address, but found that GG was cunning enough to use a proxy server, and they searched all the way to foreign countries.

Jonathan's current level of hacking is not enough to help them track down the man behind GG. Of course, in the plot, he just hacked into the mailbox without further discovery. , Daniel Humphrey is a very crafty man - Eric confirmed this again.But their efforts are not fruitless, Jonathan made a Trojan horse program to monitor GG's e-mail, from now on they can use Eric's computer to monitor any gossip received and sent by GG.

"Jonathan, you are a genius." For capable people, Eric has never been stingy with his praise, "It's a pity that you didn't succeed this time, but I believe that GG's identity will be exposed in our hands one day .” He absolutely wanted to catch Dan before he revealed his identity, and he couldn’t let Dan get away with it after hurting so many people.

The two of them were busy until the evening, and they even ordered room service for dinner, and they didn't finish work until almost 8 o'clock.Eric took advantage of Dan's loophole. Today, Dan was invited by Serena to go to the prom rehearsal, and then he had to fend off Sissy's questioning. Rick and the others moved their hands and feet.

Jonathan had to go home before nine o'clock, and Eric sent him to the elevator, and they said goodbye in a friendly manner.Serena just came back, and Jonathan winked narrowly at him when he left. Eric felt that she must have misunderstood their relationship, but it was difficult to explain that they were only together to get rid of Serena's true love. Man's mask.

Let her continue to misunderstand.

But Humphrey recently found it very strange. In addition to fighting with Serena's female elders during the day, he also felt that there was something wrong with the website he had painstakingly managed—his sources of information had inexplicably decreased recently.

He has been running his own website called "GossipGirl" since he was 14 years old. The selling point is gossip and gossip about teenage idols on the Upper East Side. He tries to gain the power of public opinion in this way.Then he put himself in the gossip for the first time this September as "Lonely Boy" -- in order to get close to Serena -- the goddess of his dreams.Over the past three years, he has established his own intelligence network through GossipGirl, allowing him to obtain all kinds of secrets at the first time, and he can choose the gossip that is beneficial to him to publish.

But his recent information network is not quite right - the gossip mailbox dedicated to GG has not received a normal amount of mail recently, and now he can only receive some innocuous news - it seems that someone has filtered his mail in advance.

"Someone is monitoring GG's mailbox", Dan immediately thought of this possibility.For this reason, he carefully did not use any gossip information received in the mailbox within a week, and at the same time updated the latest database to check and kill computer viruses-but found no problems.

However, the mailbox automatically returned to normal after a few days, and I was able to receive the shocking secrets from all over New York.

Daniel Humphrey can only attribute the problem to the fact that there was really no amazing gossip in New York in the days when the problem occurred, and he himself was too sensitive.

At the same time, Eric downloaded all the news since the establishment of the GG website and began to organize the data of these news.But Lily didn't give him time to finish the job—Christmas was coming, and he had to go to England for the winter holidays.

When Lily was in college, she had a good friend—Linney. She later married an Englishman and lived in London. Her husband, Clint Eastwood, was a professor of psychology at the University of London. One of the best psychiatrists.

Lily helped Eric buy a plane ticket to London. On the night of December 12, he flew directly to London from JFK Airport in New York. Eastwood would pick him up at the airport.Lily contacted Professor Eastwood and asked him to pay attention to Eric's psychological condition. If Eric really has any problems, he can start treatment directly-Eric didn't know this.

In short, Eric was packed by his mother and sent to an old friend's house, and he had to spend nearly a month of winter vacation with a group of people he didn't know at all.

Can he now turn the captain around and fly him back to New York?

Eric wants to cry but has no tears.

Eight hours later, the plane finally landed at Stansted Airport in north London. Eric got off the plane with a haggard look on his face. He didn't rest well on the plane, and he couldn't eat dinner well.It's around 7:12 a.m. in New York, and it's exactly [-]:[-] noon in London.Eric saw the sun in the sky and felt that he was too tired to fall asleep in a second.

He needs to beat the jet lag.

Mrs. Eastwood came to pick Eric up in person. She is a very elegant lady. If I ask Eric, she looks like Cora, the countess in "Downton Abbey". She has black shiny brown hair. It looks very elegant.Mrs. East had seen Eric's photo beforehand, so it was easy to recognize him.After they finished their greetings, Xiangjie got into the car and drove towards downtown London.

"I know you'll be tired after a long trip, but it's 12 o'clock and we need to have lunch first." Mrs. East said while driving, "Then we'll go home, and your room has already been packed , you can take a good rest."

Eric is still a little cautious in an unfamiliar environment, he listens to Mrs. East very carefully, so
