Chapter 136: An Authentic American Party
As Thanksgiving gets closer and closer, more and more students are becoming more and more excited, but they are not excited for Thanksgiving, but because of the big event that is about to happen around Thanksgiving.
In Northern California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, near Silicon Valley, there are two world-famous universities, one is the University of California, Berkeley.
Don't be misled by its name, the original Feng Yiping, when he heard that this was the Berkeley campus, he thought that he and their first high school was mainly to make money, and it was a branch school in other places, so he felt that this school should not be good, it should be powerful, and it was also the school that was powerful.
Now I know that it doesn't actually have a school, and the reason why it is so named is because it is the first full-curriculum public school in the University of California system, which is quite good.
For example, the design of the American atomic bomb was carried out by a laboratory in Berkeley, and in the World University Rankings, for example, it ranks in the top 10 in the world in 26 subjects.
The other is naturally Stanford, where Feng Yiping is currently studying.
These two schools, one public and the other private, have very different styles, one is liberal and radical, and the other is conservative and honest.
So their relationship is like Cambridge and Oxford in the UK, and Tsinghua University and Peking University in China, they really love and kill each other.
However, in many respects, these two universities are evenly matched.
Not to mention other aspects, let's talk about high-end, in China, when there is no zero breakthrough, these two schools are comparing the number of Nobel Prize winners every year, which is also comparable.
This makes it very difficult for those idle teachers and students who have nothing to do, but the sense of honor is so strong that they have no score. Everyone is very strong, one and a half catties, one 500 grams, and the results can't be compared, so simply, we all give up these areas that we are good at. How about coming to Wudou?
Of course, going shirtless or slashing with a knife is certainly not their style, it's better than rugby!
This is where the famous Berkeley and Stanford derbies in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) come from.
Derby, in Europe, refers to the game of football, and in North America, it can be a game of team sports such as basketball, rugby, and baseball.
Depending on the situation. It also has different definitions and scope of use, the first is a match between two teams from the same region, the second is a match between two teams who are evenly matched in all respects, the third is a match between two teams with the strongest in a country, and the fourth, it is a match between two teams with historical grievances.
The Berkeley and Stanford derby, encompassing three of these definitions, thus. Two schools, from principals to professors to students. We attach great importance to this competition, which is held every year around Thanksgiving.
In every competition, both sides are doing their best to compete with each other, and the teacher and students do not say. Not to mention the alumni, even many parents, as well as residents of the two schools, are very concerned about the game and will always be there to cheer.
this game. There is also a very special point, its trophy is actually an axe, "Stanford Axe".
This axe also has a lot of origins.
Since the first derby between the two schools more than 100 years ago, whenever the school team scores, Stanford students will use an axe to cut off the blue and yellow ribbon that symbolizes Berkeley.
Later, several Berkeley students managed to grab the axe, and successfully escaped from the siege of Stanford students and the San Francisco police, and kept it on campus as a symbol of victory.
The Stanford guys, naturally, will not give up like this, they have tried and tried many times, and finally, 31 years after Berkeley stole the axe, several Stanford students, disguised as photographers, stole it back by magic.
Since then, for more than 40 years until the 70s, in addition to the annual derby, there have been many stories between the two sides around this axe.
Berkeley managed to steal it back three times, Stanford stole it back four times, and finally, in '78, the two sides finally reached an agreement that the school that won the game that year would be able to bring the axe back to its own school as a glory and symbol of victory.
In short, before this big event is coming, Stanford University, instead of its usual steady and conservative image, is also moving closer to the romance and madness of Berkeley, and there are various parties held every night.
"See you tomorrow," the group greeted each other as they finished discussing a case.
Feng Yiping, who walked outside the door, was stopped by an acquaintance, "Feng," Carl smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's not easy! Oh, no, these shouldn't be a problem for you,"
"Carl, is there something wrong?" Feng Yiping asked.
This Carl is a very realistic person, and he won't waste time if he has nothing to do.
"Hehe, it's something, tomorrow night, we're going to hold a party in the villa of a fellow scholar Mountain View, you can come too!"
"I'm sorry, I really don't have time at night," Feng Yiping excused.
He didn't worry about leaving the pregnant Huang Jingping at home alone, besides, such a party really didn't mean anything to him.
"Please," said Karl, "we know how your girlfriend is doing, but what's wrong with just a few hours?"
"I'm sorry, I really have something to deal with at night," Feng Yiping shook his head.
You're not a big beauty, and I don't know you very well, so why waste time on you?
"Please, help, there's really something I want you to help with in the evening," Karl stopped him and asked very sincerely.
"It's the same now," Feng Yiping paused.
"No, you have to say it at the party," Carl refused to give a reason, "it won't delay you for long, if you don't like it, you can stay for a while and leave, please!"
Carl was like a piece of kraft candy, and kept chattering with Feng Yiping to the parking lot, he really couldn't be entangled, Feng Yiping reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay, you send me the address,"
…………
Driving to the place where the party was held, Feng Yiping knew that this was an authentic American-style college party.
The scene in front of the door and the noise he heard outside the door were exactly the same as what he had seen in movies and television before.
Pushing open the door, the originally very spacious hall was crowded with people, and what attracted his attention was that many men and women, in large and large courts, were intimate as if no one was around.
Next to the stairs, a buddy put a girl in very short shorts against the wall, and while his tongue was entangled, one hand obviously touched the girl's chest, and the other hand was kneading her ass, and it seemed that there was a possibility of misfire at any time.
There were several people sitting on the sofa, one of them holding a girl, and passing something similar to a cigarette in his hand, which was obviously not a good way.
This is really a depraved place, but Feng Yiping feels like he likes it, and in China, in ordinary nightclubs, you can't see such a hot scene.
Only, what about Carl?
Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao said, "Hey, Feng," Carl squeezed over with two hot girls, "Jane, this is Feng," he said to the girl he didn't hold.
"Feng, this is Jane, a student at the University of the Arts,"
"Hey," the girl who was not tall, but had a good figure, had a good face of collagen, and a pair of particularly smart eyes, greeted Feng Yiping with a smile, "Nice to meet you,"
"Me too," Feng Yiping, who felt a little hot, smiled and said politely to her.
"Carl," he turned, but there was no trace of Carl?
Jane smiled when she saw this, "I'm going to get some drink, what do you want?"
"Fruit wine is good," Feng Yiping said casually, and immediately reacted, "I'll go!"
"Thanks," Jane smiled again, as if her chest was laughing too, oh no, moving.
You can't stay here for a long time, Feng Yiping hurriedly went to the side where the wine was placed, and just happened to see Carl and the girl, walking towards the backyard with wine glasses, "Carl," he shouted.
Carl whispered a few words to his female companion and walked over with a smile, "Thank you, Feng,"
"Didn't you say something's wrong?"
"You've helped,"
Seeing Feng Yiping's puzzled face, he pulled Feng Yiping to the porch of the back door, and gestured to the girl who was waiting for him over there, "Alice is Jane's best friend, I've always wanted to ask her out, but she hasn't agreed, Jane agrees to help, but the premise is that I want to introduce you to her,"
I'm going, what is this taking me for?" )
