"Lu Ke? Is this your name? Where's your surname?" Emma's pupils narrowed slightly, and she said with a critical look, "I'm not sure what your customs are, but in the UK, you have to introduce yourself. At that time, I didn’t introduce my last name, which was a very rude behavior.”
Lu Ke didn't panic or get angry. Instead, he chuckled.
Emma noticed the change in the expression at the corner of Lu Ke's mouth, tilted her head slightly, and her words became serious, "I am serious. Or are you doing it on purpose? Trying to leave a deep impression? But with Such a disrespectful way, even if it leaves an impression on a woman, is definitely not a good thing."
"Lu." Lu Ke answered, meeting Emma's gaze gracefully, "My last name is Lu, and my first name is Ke. However, because the pronunciation of my Chinese name is very different from that of my English name 'Luke' They are close, so it is more convenient for everyone to call them, and they will not deliberately distinguish between surnames and first names, but call them uniformly."
No sarcasm, no rebuttal, just simple explanation.
However, Emma's cheeks became slightly hot, and she felt embarrassed and embarrassed. She just wished she could get into the hole immediately and disappear completely.
If it were on the team or on the field, Lu Ke might fight back head on, because for players, being tough is the way to survive, at least a starting point, and weakness and compromise will not be appreciated.
However, the other party was just a stranger he met for the first time, and she was also a famous actress - an actress he had met on the movie screen. Lu Ke restrained his sharp remarks and hid all the irony behind his words.
"Ms. Watson. Although there are not many Asian actors in Hollywood, I believe that respecting each other's culture and norms is eternal. Especially for a public figure like you, if you are not careful, the media If you can interpret it at will, that would not be a wonderful thing; more importantly, the Asian community also needs its own respect."
There was still a slight smile on Lu Ke's lips. His words were gentle yet sharp, and he was firm in his stance. He expressed his views in a simple and objective manner, neither humble nor overbearing.
Emma, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, bit her lower lip tightly, a trace of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't tell whether she was angry with him or herself.
In the face of the public media, Emma has always regarded herself as a feminist, constantly campaigning for women's rights, calling on society to pay more attention to the serious problem of gender discrimination. Her confident and determined appearance has successfully won her the support of a large number of fans. support.
Lu Ke's words just now clearly meant something. Sexism and racial discrimination are the same. Both are deep-rooted social problems that require people to constantly fight and fight for themselves to break the stubbornness that has settled over a long period of time. Prejudice, strive for your own place.
There is no need for more, but there cannot be less, just equal treatment.
At this time, Emma also realized that her words just now contained typos and ambiguities, which could be interpreted as discrimination against the Asian community.
Discrimination and prejudice are a very special thing. To bystanders, it may be just a habitual expression; but to the person involved, the habit itself is a form of prejudice, and only they can truly understand the feeling of discrimination. This is true for women, and it is true for Asians as well.
I am embarrassed and embarrassed, this is the second time.
After meeting, they fell into embarrassing situations twice in a row. Emma felt that her cheeks were extremely hot, and she couldn't help but started to get angry. This man was really annoying. Not only did he not have any gentlemanly manners, but he was always righteous. If you are too picky, you are doomed to never find a girlfriend in your life.
Despite this, Emma still did not express her emotions. She suppressed her annoyance, took a deep breath, took another deep breath, straightened her back, and said solemnly, "Sorry, I didn't think carefully just now."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Ke responded with a polite smile and explained in a brisk tone, "There are still many differences between Eastern culture and Western culture. We all need to understand each other." Then, Lu Ke nodded again. He gestured with his head, "Nice to meet you, Miss Emma, so that's it for now."
Then, Lu Ke put on the headphones again, lay down, and prepared to choose a movie, relax while watching it, and enjoy the flight.
Emma froze on the spot, her head full of questions: What?
What is going on with this man? He actually lay down like this? After the little episode just now, there was no expression at all? No conversation at all? Is she a pine tree or a piece of granite? So rude, so disrespectful, so dull, it really makes people angry!
"Hey." Emma knocked on the shield again, then couldn't help but feel irritable, raised her voice and shouted again, "Hey!"
Lu Ke sat up straight, took off his headphones, and looked away with confusion.
"I just said, I'm sorry!" Emma's almond-shaped eyes widened, her voice became tense, and she could faintly smell the anger hidden in it.
Lu Ke blinked, "Yes, I heard it. It doesn't matter what I said."
"Then what?" Emma continued.
"Then what?" Lu Ke repeated it, not understanding what Emma meant at all. Should anything else happen after this? Or did he miss the point?
Emma's eyes widened and she looked at Lu Ke in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her, "I know that my emotional attitude and expression just now were not correct and caused unnecessary misunderstandings, but I have already expressed I sincerely apologize, there is absolutely no need for you to show your face to me! After the conversation, you just lay down. Are you expressing your protest and dissatisfaction with your silence?"
"I have already taken the initiative to apologize. Shouldn't you show some kindness? As a man, a gentleman! You should take the initiative to bring up the topic, at least make polite greetings, and then let the woman end the topic. This is correct! What you just did was so rude!" Emma realized that her voice was rising out of control, and she quickly lowered her voice to avoid disturbing other passengers.
Lu Ke, who was sitting there, looked confused.
What's going on?
Why did he feel as if he had missed a key point? He had no idea where Emma's thoughts came from at this moment?
Lu Ke thought about it seriously and seriously raised his biggest confusion, "So, do you want no one to disturb you, or do you want to have an open conversation?"
He thought that Emma had put on a repulsive attitude because she didn't want to be disturbed; but Emma's current behavior seemed unreasonable and even contradictory. So, in this process, which link went wrong?
"Sir!" Emma was completely furious. Her pretty face turned red. Her bright-colored eyes stared at Lu Ke in disbelief. She was ashamed and annoyed, and her sharp teeth were stuck in her throat. She was at a loss for words and spoke indiscriminately. He said, "Please pay attention to the words you use. I am just expressing friendship between strangers. Don't make it sound like I came to your door to ask for something!"
Only then did Lu Ke realize that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
Although Lu Ke still didn't understand which part was wrong, he knew that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, and their ways of thinking are completely different.
What's more, Emma is a proud girl, different from ordinary girls.
Since "Harry Potter", Emma has lived under the spotlight for a long time, always surrounded by applause and cheers; as time goes by and she grows older, she has completed her transformation bit by bit. Bloom, like an ugly duckling transforming into a swan, truly interprets the secret of female transformation, and has now become the "goddess" in the hearts of countless movie fans.
Naturally, Emma was still used to the focus falling on her.
After realizing this, Lu Ke sighed deeply in his heart. Sure enough, he was more comfortable getting along with girls like Candice Swanepoel and Sophie Brooke.
The Emma in front of him was still talking endlessly, and Lu Ke had to raise his palm to stop him, "Miss." Instead of calling her by name, he used a collective name to show enough courtesy, "Miss! I know, you are expressing It is an honor for me to be friendly and polite. Please forgive me for being rude."
A series of calm and gentlemanly words finally made Emma calm down a little.
"Nice to meet you." Lu Ke smiled and expressed friendship, then raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, what do you think of the weather in Hawaii? Did you encounter rainy days during this vacation? Hawaii in February , it seems that the rainy season is about to enter.”
British people love to talk about the weather. To be more precise, they are used to starting conversations with the weather.
But the problem is that Lu Ke's turning point was too blunt and rigid, which also made the atmosphere of the entire conversation very strange, revealing a sense of sarcasm and teasing embarrassment.
Emma bit her lower lip tightly and stared at Lu Ke, only to find that Lu Ke was indifferent and looked back with a calm and calm expression. His innocent expression didn't seem to understand what was going on at all. This made Ai Ma has a deep sense of frustration.
damn it!
The third time, this was the third time she lost her temper after the two met!
Emma did not speak, but sat back in the chair sullenly, pulled up the blanket high, and buried herself in it, pretending that it was a bomb shelter that could completely isolate all humiliation and grievance: Damn it Guy! Damn guy! Damn guy!
What's wrong with this guy?
On the surface, he seems to be very normal, but his behavior is weird. His brain circuitry must be very strange! There must be conflicting auras and mismatches between her and him. Every time they had a confrontation, she was at a disadvantage. She just felt like a clown, always embarrassed and hindered everywhere! It's not her problem, it must be him! It must be him!
"Wait, are you saying that he likes men?" Emma couldn't help but maliciously guessed that this seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.
