   Chapter 330, Three Purposes (Please subscribe! Ask for a monthly ticket!)

   Time is like flowing water, fleeting.

  September arrived, and Lilith was the first to leave London.

   Zhang Xuan followed him to St Andrews on the east coast of Scotland.

  To be honest, he had a very general feeling about St. Andrews, and he didn't even like it.

  How to say it, the tone has a sense of ruin and defeat.

   It may be that there are too many high-rise buildings and neon lights in later generations. Suddenly seeing such a gray style, there is a visual gap.

   went around the school and had a meal together.

   Before leaving, Lilith hugged him very reluctantly, "You go to work first, find information and inspiration first, and I will come to you when I am on vacation."

"it is good."

   Zhang Xuan reached out and stroked her hair lightly, and finally leaned his head to give him a kiss. He also followed Liao Yun and Xie Qi back to London.

  Daughter went back to school, and Liao Yun was also relieved. Although she could stop her for a while, she couldn't stop her for a lifetime, so she simply went out of sight and left the next day.

   Back from Heathrow Airport, Xie Qi asked enthusiastically, "What about you, great writer, where do you want to go, I'll take you there."

   Zhang Xuan was also polite and said with a smile: "Send me to the London library, I'll find some materials."

  Xie Qi said yes.

   He came to England for three purposes.

   One purpose is to meet Lilith.

  When he decided not to run away and decided to accept this woman, he opened up a piece of soil for her in his heart, and naturally he wanted to meet him.

   The second one is about "Clockwork Girl". He went to the library, rummaged through sci-fi books, and even bought some to fill up the facade and make them for others to see.

   In this way, when someone asks later that your science fiction has a lot of Western elements, it also has the root of explanation.

   The third purpose is to meet Rowling.

   Honestly, the third purpose is the least reliable.

   In such a big city, in the vast crowd, trying to find Rowling is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

   But he also has the mentality of giving it a try. It doesn't matter if you can find it or not.

  94 was Rowling's first marriage breakdown.

   She returned to England with her child.

   Often goes back and forth between London and Manchester to do secretarial work, and the salary is low. Because he can't afford to rent a house, he also applied for a subsistence allowance from the government.

  According to Broken Memories: Because of the Harry Potter story in her mind, in order to write this story, Rowling often went to the London library and the City Hall library to check materials during this time.

  The reason, very simple, is to fill her own knowledge.

   So Zhang Xuan decided to wait for a while in these two libraries and asked the staff in the library if they knew someone like Rowling?

  If he couldn't find it here, he decided to try his luck at Manchester Central Library in Manchester City.

  If neither London nor Manchester could be found, he would make one last trip to Edinburgh, Rowling's hometown, Scotland.

   This is his whole plan.

  If you don't meet Rowling in the plan, then give up the "Harry Potter" book.

   In fact, the decision to give up is also a helpless move, something that can’t be helped.

  According to some information, Rowling's first Harry Potter was written in 1995.

   Now it’s September 1994, maybe someone has already started writing.

   There is also a saying that Rowling's "Harry Potter" started writing very early, but it was only intermittently completed in 1995.

   If this is the case, Zhang Xuan would not risk being questioned by the world to write Harry Potter.

   Because this will outweigh the gains.

  Money, where to make money?

   There is no need to hang on this tree.

  London Library is huge, founded in 1841 and has a history of more than 150 years.

  The collection of over 1 million items in the tube covers 55 different languages ​​and over 2000 topics.

   Zhang Xuan felt a strong aroma of books when he entered it, and this cultural precipitation is very charming. He liked it very much.

   Zhang Xuan's purpose is very clear, first to find a science fiction book, and then to the magic book area to wait.

   Because he knew that if Rowling came to this library, she would definitely look for information in the magic books area.

   On the first day, Zhang Xuan stayed in the library until sunset and came out.

   was very rewarding, he quickly read "Devil's Triangle and UFO".

   The next day, Zhang Xuan went to the London library early in the morning.

  Today he changed the book and read the masterpiece of Soviet science fiction "In My Disappearing World".

   After reading this book, Zhang Xuan felt a little tired in his neck, so he glanced around the surrounding area, but still couldn't see Rowling.

   He was not disappointed, and went straight out of the library.

   The next few days.

   Zhang Xuan arrived on time in the morning, Xie Qi came to pick him up on time in the afternoon, and then the two went to a small restaurant for a meal, or Xie Qi went home to cook.

   Once Xie Qi asked him if he could cook?

   Zhang Xuan replied: Because he could read since he was a child, he was never allowed to work at home, and his hands never touched the spring water. Not to mention cooking, the soy sauce is poured in front of you without a hand.

  Xie Qi was speechless for a long time, and finally had to sigh: Although you were born in the countryside, you met enlightened parents, no wonder you have such great achievements.

   Every time this time, Zhang Xuan nodded like a chicken, praising her for her cooking skills, and praising her until she was overjoyed or embarrassed.

  It's just a sentence anyway, if you want my husband to cook for you, you haven't woken up yet.

   The car drove forward for a while, Xie Qi asked, "How is the harvest today?"

   Zhang Xuan replied: "Fortunately, the collection is rich, and there are surprises every day."

  Xie Qi asked again: "Then do you still want to go to Manchester?"

   Zhang Xuan said: "Go, you provide me with delicious food and drink every day, and I have to accompany you to watch the Manchester United game the other day."

Xie Qi said happily: "You have a conscience. You don't know, in order not to neglect you, a great writer, I call the country every day to ask my mother how to cook this dish and how to cook that dish, which is really heartbreaking. "

   Zhang Xuan said: "So you are my aunt, you are born to hurt people."

  Xie Qi gave him a contemptuous look: "Take the second half back, I don't dare to hurt you, your appetite is too cunning. It's a shame that you said you weren't picky eaters on the first day, I simply believed it."

   To be able to eat delicious food tomorrow, Zhang Xuan just smiled.

   When passing a bar, Xie Qi suddenly asked, "Have you been to a bar?"

   Zhang Xuan looked at the bar outside and said, "I haven't been there."

  Xie Qi found a place to park the car, "Go, I'll take you to meet the world."

   Zhang Xuan asked: "Do you often come to the bar?"

  Xie Qi shook his head: "I don't care about bars, so I don't come here very often.

   But since you are in London, you should experience all kinds of life, which can broaden your horizons and enrich your writing content. "

   Zhang Xuan agreed: "It makes sense."

   Entered the bar, the two of them didn't do anything, just quietly found a booth to drink and watch a group of foreigners swaying on the dance floor.

  Zhang Xuan observed Xie Qi secretly, and found that this woman really didn't seem to like the atmosphere of the bar very much. When a man came to talk to her, he basically ignored her.

   There were two women in the middle who came to Zhang Xuan to dance, but Zhang Xuan refused.

  Xie Qi joked: "The two women look good just now, you shouldn't refuse."

   Zhang Xuan had a cup of tea with her, "No matter how high-quality and beautiful the women in the bar are, I don't want to have an intersection."

"Oh?"

  Xie Qi smiled and looked at him: "Why? Discriminate against others? Look down on others? Think they are not clean?"

   Zhang Xuan replied, "I heard a story in Yangcheng.

   There was a female student who came back from abroad and failed to have a successful blind date 9 times in a row. Do you know why? "

  Xie Qi guessed: "The external conditions are not good?"

   Zhang Xuan shook his head: "Very good, it's a beauty."

  Xie Qi guessed again: "The requirements are high?"

   Zhang Xuan shook his head again: "The family conditions of her blind date are very good, and she has a crush on the man every time."

   Xie Qi asked, "Have the men rejected her?"

   Zhang Xuan nodded.

  Xie Qi looked around the bar, Ming Wu said, "She's a bar girl, she likes to go to bars?"

   Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "No. The woman is straight. The man asked her if she had talked about a boyfriend abroad, and she said she had talked about one.

   After hearing this answer, the man ran away immediately. "

  Xie Qi was surprised: "9 men have the same reason."

   Zhang Xuan hummed.

  Xie Qi asked: "Why? Isn't it normal to fall in love when you are old?"

   Zhang Xuan looked into her eyes: "It's normal to fall in love, but many domestic male compatriots can't accept the girls who have talked with foreigners."

  Xie Qi thought for a while, then leaned forward and asked, "Do you have a mental cleanliness?"

   "Yes." Zhang Xuan replied.

  Xie Qi asked meaningfully: "What about you, do you have such a mental cleanliness?"

   Zhang Xuan is very frank: "Of course, I am no exception."

  Xie Qi caught him and looked up and down, before smiling half-smiling: "Are you giving me a vaccination, so I don't bring bad Lilith?"

   Zhang Xuan shook his head: "No need, I trust Lilith very much."

  Xie Qi said: "You are very confident!"

   Zhang Xuan drank the wine, raised Erlang's legs and said, "It has nothing to do with self-confidence, I'm just telling the truth."

   Xie Qi touched him: "It's true, I understand my cousin, it's hard to want her to be empathetic. But you also have the capital to make her obsessed."

   Zhang Xuan asked her: "What about you, why don't you find one here?"

  Xie Qi shook the glass and said, "My heart is not here."

   Zhang Xuan looked at her in surprise, and finally said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

  Xie Qi shook his head with a smile, and had another drink with him, drinking silently.

   He drank silently like this, and if he didn't pay attention, it was already dark outside.

   Zhang Xuan asked: "Can I still drive?"

  Xie Qi said: "Let's take a taxi home."

   Zhang Xuan was relieved, and his affection for this woman increased a bit. This is a relatively self-disciplined person.

   Back home, Xie Qi started to cook in full swing.

   As for Zhang Xuan, he entered the room and started writing, "Clockwork Girl".

   This has become his habit. No matter how late or tired, he must insist on writing 5,000 words every day.

   For this, Xie Qi admired his perseverance very much. Sometimes when he was busy late, he would make him a late-night snack.

   The next day, it rained lightly in England.

  London is a little cool under the sea breeze.

   After breakfast, Xie Qi, who had already brought the car back, asked him, "Are you going to the London library today?"

  Zhang Xuan pondered for a few seconds and said, "I won't go to the London library today. I'll go to the City Hall Library instead."

   Hearing this, Xie Qi didn't say anything and drove out the car.

The reason why    changed his target today is because Zhang Xuan has recently inquired about the staff of the library, and there is indeed Rowling.

   They have an impression of Rowling, saying that this girl is very restrained, and usually never dares to look people in the eyes when talking to people.

  The library staff also told him that for a period of time, Rowling came to the London library every day to find materials.

   Zhang Xuan pointed to the magic books area and asked, "Aren't you looking for this place?"

  The library staff nodded in confirmation and said yes, I used to see that introverted girl here every day, but I don't know what happened, I haven't seen it for a while.

  The City Hall Library is not as big as the London Library, Zhang Xuan is still the same as usual.

   He went in and looked for science fiction books. He was just here, so he was in no hurry.

   For two days in a row, Zhang Xuan came over like this in a hurry.

   On the third day, when Zhang Xuan had become familiar with the library staff to a certain extent and was about to inquire, he was suddenly stunned.

   I thought to myself, would it be such a coincidence?

   I just wanted to ask Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here?

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