Reboot the heyday

Chapter 2904 This planet is occasionally fragile
Among the many cities in the UK, Wang Taika has a soft spot for Edinburgh.

London feels busy, and the influence of the economic capital always makes people feel that they cannot stop.

Manchester is a reconstructed industrial center city, which always makes people feel a bit less historical.Birmingham used to be just a dirty coal city in people's minds, and heavy metal music was launched in Birmingham.Although the environment is better now, the Victorian buildings have been completely destroyed in World War II, which is not interesting.

Most of the major cities in the UK are in the style of England, and Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, so it is different from the style of the well-known England.

Both Scotland and England can be seen as a single entity to some extent.This has been the case in history. If it weren't for the strength of the British history and the bonding of the royal family, Scotland would have left the UK long ago.

Therefore, Britain also has a tradition of pinching each other between the North and the South.

When people in London mention Edinburgh, they will say that they are illiterate mountain farmers who grow up and eat in the mountains and can only play bagpipes to relieve boredom.

When people in Edinburgh talked about London, they said it was just a lair built by a bunch of greedy capitalists who were deluded by money. They wanted to suck the blood of the whole world.

This metaphor is really vivid and has a hint of wickedness, and the British humor is really good.

To this day, about [-]% of the people in Scotland are willing to leave the United Kingdom and go out independently.Even the Scottish legal system is separate from England's common law system and is self-contained.The basis of Scottish law is a combination of Roman law, civil law and common law features.

Perhaps this is why Wang Taika likes Edinburgh. Seeing other people's homes are unlucky, the wicked joy can't be restrained.

Wang Taika couldn't help showing a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Baicai sat beside Wang Taika, and the two sat in the coffee shop.

Wang Taika pointed to the graffiti on the wall and said, "Did you see that?"

Pei Baicai looked over and saw the graffiti of "VOTE YES", and asked, "What is the voting choice? What does it mean?"

"YES or NO, it's a referendum on Scottish independence."

Wang Taika explained: "Actually, when the UK is mentioned, it often refers to England. The full name of the UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and its composition is quite complicated, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This is not a province or state. The concept of Tao is completely different from the character, language and thinking mode of the nation. Therefore, in order to express their independence, the Scots have always only liked to call themselves Scots, the Welsh only liked to call themselves Welsh, and the Northern Irish naturally also Even though they call themselves Irish, they try to get rid of the general title of British."

Pei Baicai really doesn't know about these things. After all, there are so many trainings. Although there are culture classes, they only learn the basics, and they can't learn things that involve more complicated historical relationships.Even South Korean idols don't even know their own history.

But this is what Pei Baicai likes about Wang Taika very much. Wang Taika knows everything, and every time he will explain it in detail, not in a showy way, but like telling an interesting gossip. Everything is explained.

It was because of Wang Taika's personality that Pei Baicai was willing to ask anything.Otherwise, who would want to appear ignorant in front of the person they like?
"Free tour guide, hehe." Pei Baicai tilted his head to look at Wang Taika, obviously looking at him was more important than what Wang Taika said.

Wang Taika was still talking to Pei Baicai: "Scotland has many precious natural resources, such as oil and natural gas. The Scots think that the relationship between themselves and England is extremely unequal, because Scotland's oil fields are classified as It is owned by the British state, and the Scots think it is a bad money-grabbing act by the English. When you just entered the store, didn’t you see the line on the counter?”

Pei Baicai pouted, and did not pretend to understand in front of Wang Taika, and said, "My English is not that good."

Wang Taika said: "It says, please throw the rubbish to England and keep Scotland clean. Haha, it can be seen how disgusting it is."

Pei Baicai also finds it interesting. She has performed abroad before, but wherever she goes, she just flies around and sees the local landmarks before leaving. After walking around, there is nothing left, except for a few more photos. The feeling is the same as not coming.

But when I was with Wang Taika, I didn’t feel like a passing visitor, I could sit here and chat about history, humanities, and art.

Pei Baicai was actually not that interested in these things, but Wang Taika had a lot of experience in traveling all over the world, and he was very clear and organized, just like telling a story, it was very interesting.

This is the first time that Pei Baicai finds Wang Taika so attractive.The previous likings were all due to his personality, but this time it was because of his admiration for his knowledge.

But in fact, Wang Taika has a lot of knowledge.

Even if you don't need Wang Taika to talk about such a shitty thing in the UK, just any big brother in China who normally pays attention to the news, or likes to talk about politics in group chats, can speak clearly and clearly.

So speaking of it, Pei Cabicai was a little wronged.Due to professional reasons, idols have been to many places, but they may not have much experience.So when he met Wang Taika, he was fooled.

In fact, it is not difficult to be admired by an idol, the difficult thing is how can you go out and play with the idol, this is the way to go!
After drinking the coffee, Wang Taika and Pei Baicai came to the street hand in hand.

Princes Street and Royal Mile are the two most famous streets, and there are many tourists here.There are various activities on the street every day, and there are entertainers performing.

Singing in twos and threes with musical instruments, some people gathered together in interesting costumes, and even saw someone suddenly confessing his love to the lady around him, and everyone booed.

Wang Taika laughed and said, "Scots also like to watch the excitement."

When Pei Baicai raised his head, he was taken aback, and only after seeing clearly did he smile: "Look."

Wang Taika was also startled when he looked up. He didn't know who had pasted the picture of the Queen of England on the upstairs window, so it was really scary at first glance.

Seeing the word "NO" on the photo, Pei Baicai realized what Wang Taika said just now, "Oh, so this family doesn't want to leave the UK."

"Yes, the Queen is still very much loved by the UK and Commonwealth countries." Wang Taika thought to himself that the Queen is now ninety, right?It is really the last dignity of Britain.

Pei Baicai was not interested in these, and only noticed it because of Wang Taika's narration just now.Then her attention was diverted, and she saw very small wooden blocks on the other side of the table, surrounded by many people.

"Let's go over and have a look." So she dragged Wang Taika and walked over, and when she got closer, she saw that there were still many words on the wooden block.

Wang Taika explained: "Each of these is in the shape of a small house. People who come here can receive a small house for free, write down their thoughts, and then leave the small house to the organizer of the event. Then they will give a website , you can log on to the website every day to see what people from all over the world have written on Little House.”

"It's so interesting, I want one too."

Pei Baicai picked up one, and habitually wanted to show it to the back, but suddenly realized that this is not a variety show, and there is no VJ camera behind him, so he suddenly stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

It belongs to the sequelae of idols.

Wang Taika saw Pei Baicai's embarrassing appearance, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he picked one up and said, "Let me write one too."

After two people finished writing, they put it on the table.

"It's not fair!" Pei Baicai glanced at Wang Taika's block and protested, "You can understand my Korean writing, but I can't understand your Chinese writing."

"Then who do you blame? Who told you that your Chinese is not good?"

Wang Taika didn't care about that, and put down the little house that said "I must eat Chinese cabbage".So what if someone else sees this stuff?I love Chinese cabbage, what do you care about me?

Pei Baicai wrote a long list, but Wang Taika saw it. It said: "Time can't be turned back, and I will work hard to prevent myself from returning to the past. I hope that no one will be hurt because of me. I am grateful every time , because that's what my life is all about."

Originally, he was in a giggling mood, but because of what Pei Baicai said, he couldn't laugh anymore.I don't know if it's meant to be meant, or just a sigh.Wang Taika could only pretend not to see it.

"Let's go!" Pei Baicai took the initiative to hold Wang Taika's hand, as if he had just let go of something, his steps became much lighter.

"Why did you come to such a far place?" Pei Baicai suddenly asked while walking.

Wang Taika said casually: "You must be sick periodically."

"Haha." Pei Baicai smiled and said, "Is this your favorite city?"

Wang Taika said: "To be precise, it is my favorite among British cities."

Pei Baicai nodded: "I don't know much about British cities, I only know that London is the most famous."

Wang Taika said with emotion: "London has too many emotions, too complicated, and too many spots. It seems like a colorful garbage mountain. Edinburgh is different. It is beautiful. The beauty of tranquility, alienation, and calmness."

Pei Baicai showed a faint smile. At this moment, her mind seemed to be in common. She said faintly, "Yes, I also think this moment is beautiful. Maybe it's not because of Edinburgh, but because you are by my side."

Wang Taika laughed heartily, like a stupid Scottish groundhog who just stole gold coins.

The two walked hand in hand on the street, the evening wind gently stepped on the clouds, the sun began to set, and the wandering moon and dense stars came late.

It seems that the whole world is slowly sinking, leaving only a lonely city to fight the long night.

This planet is fragile occasionally, and I also occasionally want to sink with you.
