"Really, how much did you score on the SSAT?"

This is Su Mu's privacy, Kate shouldn't have asked, but he just said that choosing a middle school should have very good grades, low EQ does not mean that she is stupid, in fact, Kate is quite smart.

Perhaps because he felt that the question was abrupt, he continued: "I am also planning to take the SSAT this year, so I want to ask you, I always feel that Castellar Middle School is not a good fit for me, and many students are very ...... Bad. ”

She thought about it a lot, Su Mu didn't treat Kate as an outsider at all, she was only worried that she didn't want to talk to herself, how could she dislike her talking too much, she liked to listen to this cute tone with a London accent, American residents think that British men are very rigid, but they always think that British women have a cute tone.

He told her, "More than 3,300 points, the last time I met you, wasn't there a shooting at school, and my parents didn't feel safe going to school in Castellar when they got home."

The learning atmosphere in our school is very bad, most of the students only know how to play, it is really not a good high school, I suggest you take the SSAT, I feel relaxed at the thought of going to other schools, then the chances of being admitted to a top university will be much higher, but it's a pity ......"

Su Mu was careless, and almost said what was in his heart, he was still in a state of lost soul, and he didn't think through his brain when he spoke.

Kate looked at Su Mu and asked curiously, "What is a pity?"

"I'm going to be separated from my friends at school, I think I'll miss them a lot, most of them are my neighbors, not far from my house, and I still have a chance to meet, so ......"

Su Mu shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, in fact, he originally wanted to say "It's just a pity that I won't be able to meet you again", both of them will leave Castellar Middle School, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to meet in the future, but his face is relatively thin, and he is embarrassed to say this.

Until he gets an accurate response, he suffers from the emotions of gain and loss, which prevents him from speaking his true thoughts, fearing rejection, and fear of destroying his hard-won friendships...... If the two already have a friendship, white and black people like to be outspoken, say whatever comes to mind, and more often only care about their own emotions, Su Mu, who grew up in Chinatown, can't, and his personality is more similar to his father Su Dingcai.

Kate didn't notice anything wrong, nodded and didn't say much, if Su Mu knew her better, she would know that Kate was already very close to her at this time, at least she was very relaxed, and she didn't talk so much when she talked to other boys......

Unconsciously, Su Mu kept sending Kate to the vicinity of the door, and when he walked further, he noticed that she stopped, only to find that he had arrived, and more than twenty minutes passed quickly, during which the two talked to each other, talked about many very unnutritious topics, deepened their understanding of each other a lot, and left after saying goodbye to each other.

On the way back, Su Mu walked briskly, after all, he chatted with the girl he liked for so long, it was strange to be unhappy, in this era when he couldn't afford to buy a mobile phone and the Internet was not developed, there was no chance to leave Kate's contact information, the two may or may not meet in the future, everything is waiting for the arrangement of fate.

**************************

I finally remembered to go to Du Zhong's house.

When Su Mu arrived at his house, Du Zhong was angry, because he had ridden to the convenience store to pick up Su Mu, but found that he had already left.

Su Mu can only apologize for this, the friendship of young people is like this, and the anger comes and goes quickly, knowing that Su Mu sent Kate home, Du Zhong's eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked him very gossip about what happened, and that bit of unhappiness had long since disappeared.

Unlike the Su family's broken house, the Du Zhong family bought a single-family villa, the kind with a small garden in the front and back, and a small swimming pool in the back garden, although it is not a high-end rich area, most of the neighbors are only middle-class, but it has made many neighbors in Chinatown envious, Du Zhong's parents are working, there is a nanny from South America is cleaning, she can't understand English or Chinese, as long as she can clean, As long as she can cook, she is usually responsible for taking care of Du Zhong's sister, and the little girl is only one and a half years old and can't even speak.

It's not the first time to come to Du Zhong's house, but every time he comes in, Su Mu feels comfortable, no one doesn't like to live in a clean and bright house, sometimes he secretly envies Du Zhong, but he doesn't feel that his parents are bad, his father and mother have done their best.

Talking to Du Zhong about what just happened, his eyes were staring at the large-screen color TV, the Su family only had two small TVs, and the one in the old man's room was still black and white, in the early eighties, the price of a color TV set of more than 20 inches was not low, the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympics was being played on the screen, more than 100,000 spectators crowded the stands, and the scenes of songs and dances with American national characteristics hosted by Hollywood directors were displayed in front of them.

I had read in the newspaper that President Reagan would attend the opening ceremony, he had not yet appeared, the whole opening ceremony did not end until dark, the time was still very early, I had been looking forward to the arrival of the Olympic Games, but when it really arrived, I found that it was not interesting, the entire Olympic Games were only 450 million US dollars budget, and they were being controlled by a businessman who picked the door, everything seemed ordinary.

Watching TV is second, mainly chatting, about six o'clock, Su Mu sat in front of the computer for the first time in his life, looking at this monitor like a TV in a daze, I don't know how to use it at all, I'm afraid that I can't afford to lose it, and I don't dare to press any button.

More than a month ago, he said that he was going to come to Du Zhong's house to play on the computer, but later he was delayed because of the preparation for the SSAT, but Li Ping'an came and told Su Mu that it was not interesting at all.

Du Zhong helped open this ugly Apple computer, the screen is only a little bigger, but the machine is very big, this is the world's first product to successfully commercialize the graphical user interface, in Su Mu's opinion, it is extremely magical, holding the mouse and asking with interest: "What is this for?"

You have a lot of experience, teach me how to use it, I've read this thing in the newspaper, but I've never used it, it's like an arcade game?"

After looking at Su Mu with the eyes of a fool, Du Zhong told: "My dad occasionally uses it to make tables, and I don't play it at other times, it would be nice if it was as fun as an arcade machine, and you will know after you try it later, it's boring."

My mom often says that my dad spent money to buy this thing, saying that the computer is awesome and other advertisements, it's completely deceptive, except for typing, it's useless, what you hold in your hand is called a mouse, it's very simple, okay, you shake the mouse now......"
