Chapter Seventy-Two: Rejoice!?
The next day, at the door of Hovses, the first thing William said when he saw Evan was, "I'm so sorry!"
This was the first word of apology he didn't know, and he hadn't stopped since the accident last night.
"Evan, trust me, I'm going to find that hit-and-run guy and beat him up......"
"Finally swept away from the school?" Evan choked him expressionlessly, and William's expression froze.
Seeing his expression, Evan waved his hand helplessly: "I know I don't blame you for this, and you don't have to apologize anymore!"
"Don't follow me, I have to go to the classroom!"
Evan ...... I knew you'd believe me, and I was right!" William said happily, as he said, habitually raising his arms to wrap his arms around Evan's shoulders, but Evan dodged him. William, who caught the air, scratched his head, caught up with Evan, and casually found a topic and asked, "Evan, have you finished your homework?"
Evan said, "Everything else is done except chemistry, and chemistry has to go to the library to look up some materials." ”
"How is that possible, you're kidding?" William subconsciously thought.
Evan glanced at him and said nothing.
William froze in place: "Are you serious?"
Because William was dragging him back, when Evan walked into the classroom, there were not many empty seats. He glanced around and found a seat on the side against the wall.
Evan walked over, "Sorry, can you let me in?"
The man sitting outside blocked the way, and Evan kindly asked him to make it easier.
The boy who looked down at the book raised his head and saw Evan, his pupils shrank unconsciously.
Evan saw the boy's face and remembered his name for a moment.
His name is Ralph, he also lives in the Blacker House, and the two pass each other's names.
Ralph didn't immediately get out of the way, but said in an uncertain tone, "Evan Warren?"
Evan nodded.
Ralph turned pale, closed the book, and got up to give up his place.
He didn't say a word the whole time, as if Evan was carrying deadly germs.
At this time, William, who was looking for a seat, saw Evan and the two empty seats, so he walked up to Evan with a happy face and said, "Lucky, Lucky!"
Ralph saw William and walked faster.
Evan looked at Ralph suspiciously, and tried to stop him so that he could understand, but because the professor had already stood on the podium, he had to give up.
Later, as soon as he started class, Evan forgot about it.
The week passed quickly.
Over the course of the week, Evan got to know a number of academic greats who had only heard names before (which is normal because they were mostly in textbooks), such as Professor Carl David Anderson, winner of the 1936 Nobel Prize in Physics (for his discovery of the positron), and worth mentioning that one of his students had won a Nobel Prize.
During this week, Evan really saw what it means to be under pressure at Caltech, not to mention others, even Evan, the "man who came over", couldn't go to bed before twelve o'clock every day in order to complete his homework.
However, Evan is tired and enjoys this state of learning at full speed.
Because it moves his head and makes him feel good both physically and mentally.
This man cannot be idle, and if he is idle, he will be wasted.
The head should be used more, otherwise it will be stiff.
Evan reflected on his achievements over the past year.
Although he earns a lot of money, he is not the one who really does it, and he doesn't have much time to use his brain, but there are a lot of times when he has nothing to do.
Evan was extremely glad that he didn't wait until he finished high school before going to college, and if he had chosen that path, he probably wouldn't even have the heart to go to college by then.
At that time, I would think, what kind of college to go to, I have enough money;
At that time, I would feel that if I want to get to know some kind of cow people, if I really want to get to know him, isn't it just a matter of a bundle of money;
At this point, it's time for Audrey to leave herself—just a layman with a few taels of stinky money, what's there to like.
Just as Evan was energized by his studies, the first week of the semester was over, and all of Hovses, including the freshmen, needed to really determine where they would live for the rest of the year.
First, the new students submit their applications, and then the rooms are allocated according to the rules of the House of their choice.
After careful consideration, Evan decided to stay in the Blacker House, which was not too noisy.
Except William.
Evan expects William to choose another house.
Sunday, September 29th.
In the morning, the old members of the BlackerHouse and all the new students who are interested in joining Blacker gather in Room 201 of Blacker, where they will decide where each room belongs.
The tiny room 201 was packed with people.
This year, BlackerHouse has a total of 114 members.
BlackerHouse's rules for deciding on rooms are as follows: Applicants to each room are drawn by lot in order of grade from highest to lowest. The item used to draw is a set of playing cards that exclude ghost cards, and whoever draws the card with the highest card wins the draw (the first two in the double room win the lottery), and the size rules are according to the rules of bridge.
Presiding over the draw was the president of BlackerHouse, Orville Caldwell. At this time, he was dressed in casual attire, holding a box of unopened playing cards in his hand, followed by a secretary who was recording the results.
"Room 101, if anyone wants to stay, come up!"
As the host Orville's words fell, several people stood up.
The first thing to draw is a double room, and then a single room.
Evan wasn't in a hurry, he had his eye on a double room on the second floor, and it was estimated that it would be his turn for a while.
William slipped over to Evan from the crowd and asked, "Evan, where would you like to stay?"
Evan glanced at him and didn't ask him questions.
The person next to him seemed to recognize Evan and William, frowned, and unconsciously separated a little distance from them.
After an hour had passed, more than half of the people in the room had been decimated, and they had already gotten the room they liked.
"No. 216, everything you want is a little sharper!"
After standing for more than an hour, Orville's speech was no longer as formal as it had been, and now he came as casually as he could.
When he finally got to his preferred room, Evan immediately stood up, and William followed him when he saw that Evan was like this.
"William, what are you doing with you?" asked Evan as he walked back.
William spread his hands and said, "Obviously, I want to be roommates with you!"
Evan frowned, he didn't want to.
There were already four people on stage in front of Evan. Seeing Evan and William following him, one of the four changed his face.
One of them stood up, looked at Evan and asked, "Do you fancy this house?"
Evan nodded and replied, "What's wrong, Ralph?"
Ralph struggled for a moment, then turned back to Orville and said, "Mr. President, I give up. ”
With that, Ralph turned around and left.
Evan reached out and asked, "What do you mean?"
Just because I'm up, you're leaving, taking me for what, stinking?
Ralph slapped Evan's hand and said with a look that was more disgusting than seeing a fly, "It's not interesting, I just don't want to share a house with a Fagot."
Ralph said as his gaze shifted back and forth between Evan and William.
"Fagot?" Evan didn't understand what the stick meant at first, but Ralph immediately realized it, his face darkened as if he had just come out of the coal kiln, and Fagot meant homosexual in slang.
In a fit of rage, he grabbed Ralph by the collar and scolded, "Who do you say is Gay?"
Ralph struggled to break free from Evan's grasp, took two steps back, distanced himself from Evan, and said, "You are Gay, everyone knows about it, do you still think it's a secret?"
"You don't want to think about it, you and William are so close every day, and you don't avoid people......"
Standing on the side, William, who was hesitating to step forward to help, and at the same time mixed with a little luck, glad that he was not bent by Evan, William looked stunned at this time, and then roared angrily: "FXXK, I'm not Gay!"
