The waiting time always passes rather slowly.

It wasn't until the clock and minute hand on the wall had crept past almost two squares that the white waiter, who had been waiting for a long time at the bar, saw the handsome and slender figure get up from his seat and walk back this way.

"Suzuzu~"

"Hey, bro, how's it going?"

Glancing at the middle-aged woman who had already picked up the briefcase and calmly pushed the door away, the white waiter couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed him and asked: "Oh, although I admit that you are a super genius, you know that in the dictionary of geniuses, there is often no word 'eloquence'~"

Listening to this guy's serious words and couldn't help but laugh at himself, he put a slight smile on his face, and while wrapping the kitchen apron next to him around his waist again, he looked at the white waiter with deep meaning.

Seeing that his heart was a little weak at the bottom of his eyes, the white waiter smacked his lips, spread his hands, and said, "Ok, I'll ask seriously...... Oh, what's the result? Tell me, there are still people waiting for the results on our side!"

As he spoke, the white waiter turned around and pulled out his phone and shook the screen at him.

He blinked, and when he looked closely, he saw the familiar name above the text message editing bar—Evan......

At that moment, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

When these unscrupulous friends heard that they wanted to transfer to Harvard, they shouted that they had turned their backs on San Francisco and the Lord (the University of San Francisco is a private Catholic university), but now they are all duplicitous.

"As a result, well......"

He smiled and looked at the wide-eyed white waiter beside him, thought about it, and said an answer with a slightly strange expression: "Sort of, it's half the battle." ”

"Hat?!"

The white waiter showed an extremely speechless expression, opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and then asked with an incomprehensible expression, "What do you mean by 'half the battle'?"

"'Half the battle' means—"

Turning to put a few glasses and plates on the bar straight, he still had the gentle smile on his face, and whispered in a tone of interest or frustration: "After talking, she said that she was personally interested in my request. But after all, this kind of thing is not something that can be decided hastily just by me and her sitting there for a while, so she decided to think about it for a while longer, and asked me to send my resume to her mailbox. ”

"It's just an interview for admission, and you don't ask for an exemption from the exam!oo, I don't think you need to go through so much trouble at all, you can apply in school. ”

Hearing such a result, the white waiter was obviously not satisfied, and finally looked serious, and said with a frown.

"But if I apply through formal channels, even if I have enough qualifications, I will have to wait a few years. ”

Looking back at the white waiter, the smile on his face was slightly reduced, and there was a little softness in the depths of his eyes, and he said seriously: "I don't want to wait, I don't have much time." ”

"Don't have time again?, I like you very much, and I'm sure you'll succeed. God, who would have thought that you would be such a geek at USF? But to be honest, every time I see your hesitant look, it reminds me that you are an Asian. ”

"Watch your words, bin, what you just said is very dangerous~"

The smile on his face returned, and he lowered his head to work, teasing the other party by the way.

"Oh, come on, man, I think you're the only Asian who would make your name so formal when you're joking!"

The white waiter rolled his blue eyes and said, "Actually, I don't understand if it really worked for you to find that dean? Although she is indeed one of the administrators of Harvard, don't you forget...... Radcliffe's predecessor was a women's college!

"I'm just going to go to Harvard, my graduate school, what's not to do?"

There was always a light smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed a little mysterious.

In the United States, a liberal country, lobbying is prevalent, and this is not only true to politics, but also in all walks of life, and even in international awards such as the Oscars, lobbying also plays a large part in it.

The so-called lobbying, in a common way, is that one person puts forward his own suggestions or views to another person, and through words and other persuasion methods, the other party accepts his suggestions or views.

To put it simply, it's a war of words.

As the first dean of Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Catharine Dre Gilpin Faust, the middle-aged woman who happened to come to San Francisco on a business trip, even if she has not yet been able to become the first female president of Harvard University in the history of Harvard University as she did two years later, it is still easy for her to get an interview admission spot in terms of academic qualifications and status.

He saw these things much more thoroughly than the white waiters.

The reason why he didn't say it was because it was meaningless, and because he knew that his friend was just focusing on business and R&D.

Having said that, how many people can squeeze into their small circle are mediocre?

"Hey, oo, I guess you're going to leave work soon......"

At this time, the white waiter beside him suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered a word.

He didn't raise his head, and replied very calmly: "I just finished talking and looked at the time, and there are still ...... before the end of work."

"Oh, my friend, believe me, don't care about that damn commuting time, you, Ma, and Shangshang will get off work~"

Hearing the white waiter's playful tone, which had become mysterious, he frowned, and subconsciously looked up in confusion, but as a result, under the other party's pointful gaze, he turned his head and looked out of the store through the floor-to-ceiling window.

So, the next moment, he understood why Robin had such an eyebrow-squeezing expression on himself-

The bright sun was shining, and a bright red BMW was parked steadily on the side of the street outside the café, and from the rolled down window, a mature and beautiful familiar figure was poking its head out to look at itself.

He gracefully raised his hand and stroked the long black hair on his forehead, and then he vaguely saw the other party winking at him, looking at him with a smile with those slightly narrow beautiful eyes, and stretched out his arm and waved it silently, which was regarded as a greeting.

When he turned around, he saw the white waiter half-leaning on the side of the bar, holding his hands and smiling to himself: "Why are you still looking at me, let's go, I'll help you take care of the rest~ Don't let Auntie wait too long." ”

He opened his mouth slightly, and after a few seconds, he smiled helplessly in the white waiter's eyes, which I had seen through you.

……

Ten minutes later.

In the crowded traffic, slender fingers tapped on the steering wheel, and the beautiful woman sitting in the driver's seat looked at the road conditions in front of her, which was not clear for the time being, and pursed her lips in boredom, thought about it, and turned her head to look at the young and handsome face beside her.

A pair of beautiful eyes blinked, and she whispered in Korean, "Xiao Yu." ”

"Hmm, what's the matter with you?"

"How about staying at my house at night?"

“……”

Turning his head, he looked at the woman's face with a smile and narrowed his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a crying and laughing in his heart for the sly smile he revealed.

I really don't know why this aunt has already given birth to two daughters, why she still acts like a little girl who hasn't grown up in front of her every time.

With an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and smiled, and did not answer the woman's words, but said softly: "I am still considering the suggestion you made last time, and once I have a decision, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible." ”

"You kid~!"

As soon as she heard what he said, the woman rolled her eyes beautifully, looked back at the road ahead, put her hands on the steering wheel and said, "I let you stay at my house, and I didn't want to sell you, what is there to consider for so long? Are you still worried that I will abuse you?"

When he heard the woman's unsatisfactory chatter, he just smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and saw a deep look of helplessness flash in the woman's eyes with an unmoved look.

As one of the few compatriots he met after coming to this foreign land, and the one with the best relationship with Israel, he certainly knew a lot about the temperament and character of women.

To be honest, he was actually very intentional about the proposal that the woman made to him a few days ago.

When a person is abroad, or in a country with special national conditions such as the United States, it is not convenient and simple for him to live on campus or rent a house as an Asian.

In fact, because of some things he was planning, he had to move out of the school with stricter rules, so that with reference to his own economic situation, the woman's advice to himself was undoubtedly a good choice.

It's just that......

He knew that if he made this choice, it would mean that he would once again establish a bond with another family that was still a stranger to him.

This bond may gradually turn into a strong affection, or family affection, for a long time to come.

This forced him to be cautious, and cautious.

In the world, only when he treats feelings can he seem so cautious.

I am afraid that I will break if I touch it, and I am worried that I will stay away from me.

He hasn't felt it for a long time.

The woman wouldn't know his mind, at least not if they didn't know each other well yet.

And he didn't have the will to say it.

So it's up to time to make the final decision.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you before. ”

After a few days of blockage, the situation on the road finally got better.

Sitting in the passenger seat, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your little daughter...... How's your personality?"

"Huh, you say Krystal?"

At the mention of her daughter, a loving and slightly eccentric smile naturally appeared on the woman's face.

As she drove the car, she thought and said, "Hmm...... Our Krystal, she's a standard little lady, well, just like me. ”

Like you?

He was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the subtle change in expression on the woman's face, and for some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Don't worry~!"

As if discovering what this kid was thinking, the woman looked at him through the rearview mirror, and said angrily: "I just asked you to help tutor that girl's homework, and I didn't ask you to help raise her, what do you have to worry about?"

What is the ...... Quite right.

With a slight purser of his lips, he turned his head to look in the direction of the car heading in front of him, pondered for a moment, and frowned again for no reason.

Although he said that, why did the not-so-good premonition in his heart still linger?

Ten minutes later, I got the answer.

After getting out of the car, he was led all the way to the door of the house by the woman who was full of interest, and before he had time to look at the two-story duplex villa, the woman just took out the key to open the door, and a scene that was absolutely unexpected was presented in front of the two of them......

In the messy living room, a short, petite figure walked out of a room, dragging a solid baseball bat in his small hands, and walked past the two of them as if no one was around.

The metal rod head rubbed against the wooden floor, making a dry and shrill sound.

However, these are not the key.

The key is......

This little girl is actually wearing a Batman costume!

In addition to a pair of snow-white feet, a hood, cape, top, and pants are exceptionally complete.

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

However, before he and the woman could make a move as they stood in the doorway, the petite figure who had dragged a baseball bat into the living room in their sight seemed to finally notice them.

He turned his head very frighteningly, revealing only his white chin and a small red mouth, and the pair of black and clear eyes behind the two eye holes stared at the two of them without blinking, and did not speak, and the atmosphere became silent and stagnant for a while.

A few seconds later, just as he was hesitating whether he should introduce himself first to relieve his embarrassment, he saw the petite figure still standing in the living room in his eyes raise the baseball bat in his hand at him.

In a fresh and unforgettable tone, Justice awe-inspiring shouted a sentence in that lovely and childish voice:

"Hey, you! When you're in the league with criminals, do you start to sympathize with them?"

To be honest, after hearing this childish shout that echoed throughout the living room, he felt deafening and shocked at first...... Well, ahem!

Anyway, the first reaction that popped into his head was- hmm...... This phrase is a bit familiar.

On second thought, oh, it seems to be a line from the "Batman" movie.

Immediately after, his body reacted a second time, and he turned his head to look at the mature and beautiful figure standing beside him with a look that he didn't know how to say.

When his gaze swept to the willow eyebrows that were constantly beating slightly, and the cold face that was almost completely stiff, he smacked his lips as expected.

Then, looking back at the petite figure in the living room with one hand on his waist and holding a baseball bat high to himself, he sighed in his heart and gave birth to a third reaction.

Well, that's it...... A standard little lady?

……

On this day, the sun is just right in the afternoon.

With that two messy opening remarks.

Their first meeting happened.
