[American Entertainment] Bright life

Lister Hill came over, stood in front of the dining table where Grace and Tom were sitting, and stretched out his arms towards Grace: "Grace, I thought I could still get the basic gift of meeting as a friend."

There was nothing wrong with these words, but Tom was keenly aware of the subtle inaccuracies in the words. After Grace snorted softly, he still stood up and talked with the middle-aged man with dark brown hair and amber eyes—— In the restaurant, although men's attire is not unqualified, among the men who come and go in neat suits, the men without ties seem so out of place.And he doesn't look so plump, he looks like he is 34 years old, ten years older than Tom himself, so it's not out of the ordinary to call him a middle-aged man - hug and give each other a stick When kissing, she looked him around without any trace.

After Tom divided Rist into age groups, he slightly suppressed the idea that "the relationship between him and Grace is definitely not just a simple friend relationship, maybe it used to be a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend", but soon Soon he realized that maybe he was right.Because after the other party separated from Grace, he naturally embraced Grace's shoulder, looked over and said with a smile, "Why don't you introduce me?"

It was a very possessive posture, Tom thought, and he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

But Grace said quite naturally: "You two will not meet again in the future, I don't think there is a need for an introduction."

Rist continued meaningfully: "Believe me, Grace, unless you don't plan to have further development with this gentleman, then as we have a common intersection, how come we don't need to know each other."

Tom subconsciously looked at Grace, and Grace glared at Rist: "You are deliberately misinterpreting my words."

Rist looked at Grace with indulgent eyes and said with a smile: "This is called the art of language, my dear. Also, maybe I shouldn't expect you to improve your social rules in just one and a half months, right?" As he spoke, he let go of the hand holding Grace's shoulder, and reached out to Tom: "Rester Hill, Grace's friend, is in her definition."

Tom frowned inwardly for the subtext of Riester, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up and politely shook the hand extended by Riester, with a proper smile on his face: "Tom Xi Dresden, I only officially met Grace today because of the relationship between the elders, so I don't know how Grace defines our relationship." After he finished speaking, he stared at his gray-green eyes full of emotion, looking Xiang didn't notice Grace, who was turbulent between the two men.

Grace sat down again, and said solemnly after hearing this: "You have already defined our relationship."

Tom: "..."

Her serious and ignorant social rules are so cute that Rist wants to kiss her like in the past, but he still remembers that Grace has broken up with him now, and of course, in his view, it was Grace's unilateral decision.Rist changed his mind and said: "I understand the situation now, I hope I haven't disturbed you."

Tom, who had been given a 'knowing blow' by Grace, came back to his senses and was about to speak when Grace turned his head and looked at Rist: "You obviously came here to find me, so it doesn't make sense to say this now, and What I don't understand is, what kind of emergency made you get off the plane, and instead of going home, you came to me non-stop after washing up in the public toilet at the airport? Oh, plus you were on the plane A few days ago, I had a 25-hour operation in a country where the annual precipitation was less than [-] milliliters. As for why you know I’m in this restaurant, I can’t find anyone else who would use this restaurant except Raymond I didn’t know you two were already familiar with this level.”

Rist knew that Grace would know very well, and instead of being surprised at all, he said sincerely: "Now I finally have a sense of steadfastness when I return to London. This is a compliment."

"I know." The corners of Grace's mouth raised unconsciously, but the arc was soon smoothed out, "Are you avoiding the important ones?"

Rist sighed in his heart, and glanced at the 'rival in love' who appeared in a short time from the corner of his eye. It was Tom who was introduced to her by Grace's elders. He retracted his gaze and replied: "The reason I told Mr. Wood is , I have a question about your doctoral dissertation with you to discuss face to face, so he told me your address. His tone on the phone was very strange, obviously he knew something terrible about you, and this It's still about me."

——Rist Hill is the supervisor of doctoral students in psychology at Oxford University, and Grace is now under his supervision.Before he specialized in psychology, he was an excellent surgeon. Now he has not lost the knowledge he learned in medical school. He has been working as Doctors Without Borders in just over a month.One last thing to say, he is definitely a young talent, only four years older than Tom, and he looks old due to his busy days and hard work.

Tom is now completely sure that Grace and Mr. Hill are ex-girlfriends, at least in Grace's cognition.Also, Tom doesn't like the close atmosphere between them, although he understands in his heart that they used to be boyfriend and girlfriend after all, and the close relationship is inevitable.Also, I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Mr. Hill deliberately created an intimate atmosphere, obviously Grace was not so enthusiastic.

Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally or not, Tom shouldn't remain silent at this time. He suggested to Grace very considerately: "Do you need me to make room for your academic problems, Grace?"

Rist raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but Grace refused straight away and said bluntly: "Professor Hill, who once again demonstrated the 'art of language', is leaving. Believe me, this restaurant is really not good. There needs to be ghosts to haunt."

Rist, who was described as a ghost, couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, I know I need enough rest, but I hope we can have a good talk when we meet next time. Grace, you know what I'm referring to .”

Tom obviously understood Rist's charade very well, and he subconsciously went to see Grace.

Grace originally wanted to say, "Why don't you tell me why I broke up with you?", but I thought of Rist coming to her as soon as he got off the plane, and his red eyes showing his existence Feeling exhausted, she finally swallowed the sentence back, and said blankly: "If you insist."

"Very good." Rist was satisfied when he got the result he wanted, and shook hands with Tom before leaving: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Hiddleston, I sincerely hope I didn't disturb you .”

"I'm also very much looking forward to meeting again, Mr. Hill." Tom replied not to be outdone, which naturally corresponded to the "blessing" that Rist said earlier that he and Grace would never meet again.

Rist smiled and said, "Really? Then I can only wish you good luck."

The two of them just exchanged words, but it took too long to shake hands, so long that Grace looked over, and she said slowly: "Maybe I should take back my previous sentence about your fields being completely different. There will be no inference that they meet and become friends.”

Rist: "..."

Tom: "..."

——Among the three people present, it was clear at a glance who had the lowest EQ.

Rist said he wished he hadn't interrupted Tom and Grace's 'blind date', but obviously that's absolutely ironic and not his intention, and he seems to have succeeded and not.Because he just messed up Tom's thoughts, and after he left, Grace, who originally interpreted Tom's change of attitude towards this "blind date" to get excited, was driven by obsessive-compulsive disorder-she was about to suffocate to death, okay? ——He gave a smirk to the thoughtful Tom: "Actually, I have a little more to finish my original performance, please let me finish... On the contrary, you are full of expectations for today's meeting, and The reason why you have completely opposite attitudes before and after is that you like me."

"I like you!"

Regarding the sentence "I like you", the two of them almost spoke in unison, but Grace's tone was completely straightforward, unlike Tom's, which contained emotions such as excitement, determination, and apprehension.

After saying this, he stared into Grace's eyes and said sincerely: "I just think that if you confess like this, I should confess to you with my own mouth. It's not something to be ashamed to admit, it's just a fact. I like you and want to date you. I know we just met today and we haven't got to know each other in depth, but what I hope is that you don't immediately reject me and give me a chance."

Tom's gray-green eyes contained hot emotions, which made Grace feel unbelievable, but at the same time, she was a little at a loss.The romantic relationship she established with Rist, which was more than a friendship, was proposed by Rist, but it was based on academic research. Rist also gave her his brain scan X-ray as a token of his sincerity. .

It’s just that later Grace realized that sex, an activity that produces a lot of dopamine, might make her addicted to it—as for why it was possible, it was because she had only tried it once, and the data was insufficient, and most geniuses It's an addictive personality, like her brothers, Mycroft's excessive love for sweets and Sherlock's addiction to drugs, they belong to the addictive group-so the relationship was stopped by her.

Strictly speaking, this relationship between her and Rist is very different from the "love relationship" defined by ordinary people in the popular sense.

Now there are subjects that can be studied, but there are unpredictable risks. How should I answer?
