008 Fate is intertwined
I listened to this lecture in a trance. Holding the bottle of 'medicine' in his hand, he secretly looked through the gap in the crowd to the last row of the classroom, only to vaguely see Mossa's red and white turban, and then turned his head with bated breath, not daring to look at it again.
Dubai's education model is similar to that of Europe and the United States, with a lot of research and discussion, unlike in China, where you can pass a test after taking a class. At the end of the lesson, the teacher asked the students to work in groups of three, discuss and report regularly, and 'turn in' the paper in groups.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of getting along with two white-robed Muslims, after class, my first reaction was to look to the right rear, stared at Jia Yi eagerly, and said, "Jia Yi, let's pull one more person in to form a team." ”
Jia Yi was stunned for a moment, and his face immediately revealed a look of embarrassment: "I just saw that you have a good relationship with those two white robes, and I thought you would team up with them......
I shook my head and explained, "It's just that I can talk to them for a few words, and I'm not familiar with it." ”
The embarrassment on his face deepened: "However, as soon as the teacher finished talking about this, the three boys on our side discussed it, and it is not easy to change it now......"
I suddenly realized that in a foreign country, Chinese will naturally gather together, our major is just four Chinese, but it is a group of three, everyone is worried that they will be excluded, and a few boys naturally isolate me.
It's normal, but I still feel a sense of loss that I've been left out. In desperation, he had to wave his hand and say, "That's okay, I'll find someone else." ”
In fact, I didn't need to look for it at all, so Ayub took the initiative to send it to the 'door'. As soon as I finished talking to Jia Yi, I turned around and met his extremely bright smile: "Cece, about the teacher's report today, Musa and I hope to be in a group with you, is it okay?"
In this classroom, apart from a few Chinese students, I only knew Ayub and Musa. Now, teaming up is not only a smooth thing, but also a good choice for no other way, and even a good way to save me from isolation. Who would have thought that this teacher would have to make three people in a group?
I glanced sheepishly at the back, where Moussa was still in his seat to pack up his books, his head bowed, the sun quietly dissolving into his skin, reflecting brightly on his white robe, but unable to see more emotion. I looked at Ayub's expectant gaze, stared at the silhouette of Musa who had nothing to do with himself, and unconsciously tightened my grip on the white 'color' and 'medicine' bottle in my pocket, and finally nodded lightly and responded: "Okay." ”
It is probably at this moment that our originally very different life trajectories are 'intertwined' together, and the ups and downs of the future are destined to be doomed.
After exchanging mobile phone numbers with Ayub, I left the classroom first and met Lian Pian in the hall. When we first arrived in Dubai, we still had a lot of things to prepare, so we were ready to go to the supermarket to buy them together because of the lack of classes today and the tutor did not give us any work.
When I arrived at the hall, I found that Jia Yi was also there, he hadn't seen Lian Pian for a long time, and volunteered to be the porter for our shopping today.
Although Lian Pian doesn't like Jia Yi, he has long been accustomed to his concern everywhere. And for me, why not have such a willing free coolie today?
Along the way, Lian Pian and I walked in front, and Jia Yi followed diligently behind him with a large bag and a small bag, without a word of complaint. Looking at his sweaty appearance, I really couldn't look past it, so I stepped forward to help him carry some, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
I looked at Lian Pian's light and active back, and there was a faint envy in my heart. The hardest thing to overcome in a foreign country is loneliness. When you are alone, even the slightest concern is enough to make people feel 'excited'. I envy Lian Pian because in the strange Dubai, she can have Jia Yi's infatuated waiting, and I, probably only have the inexplicable white 'color' and 'medicine' bottle.
