Episode 9: Am I a Freshman?

Sunday, March 3, 2002, 8 a.m., Kyung Hee University, Suwon, Suwon, Suwon, South Korea (changed to International Campus in 2007)

Today is the first day of the 2002 academic year at Kyung Hee University, and a large number of students are pouring into the Suwon campus to attend the opening ceremony.

The early spring in South Korea is still very cold, although the average annual temperature in Suwon is 13 degrees, but Zheng Hee-yi can't stand the fact that he wants to set off from Seoul and must go out with a swishing breeze early in the morning, so he is very well equipped, wearing a black knitted hat of Chicago Bulls No. 23 on his head, a black and white cashmere scarf wrapped around half of his face, and a black and gray woolen mid-length coat on the outside walked into the gate of Kyung Hee University Suwon Branch, and walked to the campus auditorium with the flow of people.

When he saw the door of the auditorium from a distance, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and when the call was connected, Zheng Xiyi tried his best to free his mouth from the scarf, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was poured into his internal organs by the cold air, and he couldn't help but shiver, "Absai, I'm Zheng Xiyi." ”

"Absai, I'm the assistant Kwon Jae-in who met with Principal Zhao Zhengyuan with Principal Nim the day before yesterday, where is Zheng Xiyi?"

"Ah, it's Assistant Quan, I'm almost in the auditorium, what's the matter?"

"Principal Nim asked me to take you in, I'm at the door of the auditorium, Zheng Xiyi XI should be able to see me when he arrives. ”

"Okay...... Okay, I'll be there in a moment, please wait a moment. Zheng Xiyi was a little confused, can an adult like me still get lost in the auditorium, isn't it just to go in and find the area of the drama and film department and sit down to listen to the whole ceremony, why do you need the assistant principal to lead the party. And Cho Jung-won, as the president of Kyung Hee University, shouldn't you attend the opening ceremony of the Seoul campus? What kind of trouble are you going to make when you come to the Suwon campus......? Zheng Xiyi suddenly felt that it was wrong not to go out today without looking at the yellow calendar......

"Zheng Xiyi XI, I'm here. Kwon Jae-in stood on the steps outside the auditorium and waved, Jung Hee-yi squeezed through the crowd, stood at the bottom of the stairs and saluted, "Anihasse, Assistant Kwon." ”

Kwon Jae-in returned the salute and said hello, then walked down the steps and patted Zheng Xiyi on the shoulder, "Zheng Xiyi XI grew up in the United States and has been studying in China for many years, so I don't need so many courtesies, I should be very unaccustomed to bowing, haha"

Zheng Xiyi smiled and shook his head, "Do you follow the customs of the country, and I am Korean, and the etiquette education of the elders in my family is very strict, but I have been a lot unfamiliar with going to school in China over the years, and if there is any rudeness, please ask the assistant to give me more advice." ”

Kwon Jae-in was sent out early in the morning to stand in the cold wind and wait for Zheng Xiyi, and he was still a little dissatisfied, but when he met and talked, he felt that Zheng Xiyi was humble and polite, and he felt a lot more comfortable. I'm just an errand runner, Xiyi XI doesn't need to say honorifics to me, just call me Brother Ren. ”

Zheng Xiyi shook his head, "That's not good, Assistant Quan is not an ordinary assistant, and now I am a student of Kyung Hee University, I must consciously maintain the majesty of President NIM, and respecting Assistant Quan is respecting President NIM." ”

Kwon Jae-in was full of joy when he heard this, and felt that this kid was too good at talking, "Hey Yigu, Xiyi XI is not only a genius boy, but also a human being, which is really rare." But let's talk about it between us, it's necessary to respect the principal nim, but with the status of Xiyi XI in Korea, I can't afford to say honorifics to me like this. ”

Zheng Xiyi tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, if I say such a thing in Ren XI, it would be hypocritical for me not to agree again." ”

Kwon Jae-in laughed heartily, and suddenly slapped his forehead, "Hey Yigu, I'm really confused, I've been pulling Xiyi XI to stand here and talk, South Korea is warm and cold in early spring, let's not blow the wind here, let's go in first." ”

After speaking, he affectionately hugged Zheng Xiyi and walked to the auditorium.

Do you think Zheng Xiyi is too hypocritical, so many fancy things, but in fact, South Korea is a country that emphasizes the system of seniors and seniors and attaches great importance to Confucian morality, and the requirements for etiquette are almost to the point of strictness. Don't look at Kwon Jae-in and let Zheng Xiyi call him brother and brother, but in fact, it's just a polite sentence, don't you see that he has always just called Zheng Xiyi XI? Kwon Jae-in and Zheng Xi-yi have met before, and they haven't said more than three sentences, Zheng Xi-yi has been calling Kwon Jae-in's position to show that the two sides are in a business-like relationship, if you really listen to Kwon Jae-in's words, you will follow the pole and call Brother Zai-in, then in Kwon Zai-ren's heart, Zheng Xiyi's grade will be immediately downgraded by three levels.

The relationship between people is that I have seen once or twice said hello and politely two sentences to be called brothers, and when I first met in Huaxia, the name of this brother and sister is because Huaxia takes the elder sister as the honorific title, which is a sign of respect, and it does not mean that the two parties are very close, but directly called the name or nickname, which is really close. In South Korea, calling brother and sister means that the two parties are very close, otherwise it is better to honestly say honorifics or titles, otherwise it is likely to be rude.

After gossiping, let's get back to the topic.

Kwon Jae-in put down his hand when he entered the auditorium, after all, everyone in the auditorium was watching, and it was not appropriate to hold it again, so he was just half a step ahead of Zheng Xiyi to lead the way for him. The more Zheng Xiyi walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could he lead me to the front rows. Walking to the center of the first row, Quan Zairen pointed to the empty seat in the middle, "Xiyi XI, your position is here." ”

"Uh...... In Ren XI, this is not the position of the drama and film department...... "Zheng Xiyi feels that he is going to be pitted.

"Inside, this is the place where the freshman representatives are located. Kwon Jae-in said casually.

"I'll ...... This is a pit father!" Zheng Xiyi's heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses running by, "In Ren Xi, I'm just an exchange student, and I'm a junior, this ...... How do you count as a new student......

"That's what Principal Nim explained, and I don't know very well, but since Principal Nim has explained, then Xiyi XI will come and be safe. Besides, Xiyi XI is indeed a freshman at Kyung Hee University, that is, to go up and say a few words on behalf of the freshmen, Xiyi XI has even experienced Oscar winning speeches, and it must be easy for a small freshman representative to speak. Kwon Jae-in smiled Mimi, with an expression on the face of the party and the people believing in you.

Zheng Xiyi also knew that he couldn't run away from today's speech, and just now he was dying and struggling, so he smiled helplessly: "President Nim, this is really a duck on the shelf, I actually just want to spend a good time in Kyung Hee University as an ordinary exchange student." ”

Kwon Jae-in laughed, "Xiyi XI is known to be humble and low-key, but as the assistant principal, I have to say something for Principal Nim. Even if it is not discovered today, it will definitely be exposed to the public soon, so it is better to make it public today, which is also beneficial to the prestige of the school, so why not do it?"

Zheng Xiyi thought to himself, "Where did you get the best of both worlds, obviously you used me as a free advertisement!" Still with a bitter smile on his face: "I know why Principal Nim chose Ren XI as an assistant, and I am absolutely competent with my Chinese level in Ren XI." Jae-in XI can't be a Chinese Korean, right?"

Kwon Jae-in was full of joy by this little pony, he is a doctor of the Chinese Department of Kyung Hee University, usually dropping his schoolbag in front of Koreans is completely to Niu Tanqin, finally today grabbed Zheng Xiyi, a Korean-American who has lived in China for nearly ten years, to show off his Chinese level, Zheng Xiyi really scratched his itch, and his evaluation of Zheng Xiyi in his heart unconsciously increased a few points.

He held back the happy mood of laughing out loud and waved his hand modestly, "I am an absolutely authentic Korean, but I have the title of a doctor in the Chinese department, in fact, half a bucket of water, Xiyi XI has won the award, passed the award." ”

Zheng Xiyi is good at observing words and feelings, this is the basic skill of being an actor, and he knows what he is proud of when he says that Zhongquan is in Ren, "Zairen XI is too modest, this is not good, excessive modesty is pride." I really didn't expect that I was still a doctor in the Chinese department at Renxi, and I don't know when I will get a doctorate. ”

The two were touting each other, and it was estimated that the two of them were going to kowtow to their brothers, but Kwon Jae-in's mobile phone rang, and he picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, it was a short message informing him that the ceremony was about to start and let him go backstage to make a final report for the principal, so he reluctantly said goodbye and prepared to prepare for it.

Zheng Xiyi thought about it, took off his coat, and casually put it on the empty seat next to him and began to sort out his clothes, he was wearing a formal vest and shirt, and black trousers and business leather shoes on his lower body. Although he didn't expect to be forced to speak on stage, it is obviously appropriate to wear more formal clothes for occasions like the opening ceremony, so Zheng Xiyi did not go out with a casual hoodie and jeans and sneakers according to his preferences, otherwise he could only ask Quan Jae-in to help him prepare clothes.

"Anihassai, excuse me, is this your clothes?"

Zheng Xiyi was lowering his head to re-button the cufflinks, and he didn't notice a man and a woman coming next to him, and his coat was placed in the girl's place. As soon as Zheng Xiyi looked up, the girl standing next to him was a little familiar, but he didn't know who it was, but he knew who the boy next to him was, after all, in his previous life, the "rain of the world" was also very popular in China. Zheng Xiyi understands that he should be a star student like himself, the problem is that he didn't care much about Korean stars in his previous life, RAIN still remembers it because his wife in his previous life watched "Full House of Romance" more than a dozen times, but this is only 2002, and I can't be sure if it's called RAIN, as for his real name, Zheng Xiyi was also a big man in his previous life, how can I remember what the real name of a Korean male star is.......

Seriously speaking, there are no more than 30 Korean stars that Zheng Xiyi knows now who can be named at a glance, this is because there are twenty-two people in Girls' Generation and SJ, otherwise the number of people on the list may not exceed twenty, and SJ knows two or three people to be honest......

Zheng Xiyi picked up the coat, "Anihassai, I'm sorry, I'll put it for the time being, it's already fine, please sit down." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you're this year's freshman representative?" The girl sat down and looked at Zheng Xiyi with interest, because she noticed that Zheng Xiyi didn't seem to know her.

"Uh...... If I break it hard, I will probably be considered a freshman......" Zheng Xiyi thought of himself, a freshman representative of the third year, and felt that he had been trampled by 10,000 grass and mud horses......

"Ahem......" The girl was choked by Zheng Xiyi's words, what is a hard break is probably a freshman, this year's freshman representative is so interesting, Zheng Zhixun next to him also laughed.

"Uh...... You don't know me?" The girl is a little aggrieved, but she is also a former member of the first girl group in South Korea, and she is still busy, but there are still people in Korea who don't know her, it's a shame......

"Ahem...... I'm sorry, but I just came from Huaxia and was in the United States before, so ...... But I know this one, but I don't know what it's called?" Zheng Xiyi leaned out and said to Zheng Zhixun on the other side of the girl, Zheng Zhixun smiled very shyly, and secretly laughed in his heart.

"Ah, I'm Zheng Ji-hoon, from the Conservatory. He won't debut under the stage name RAIN until April 28, so at this time, he still introduces himself under his real name.

The girl was speechless, this boy actually knew Zheng Zhixun but didn't know her, which made Ernie know that he couldn't laugh at her for the rest of his life. She was just about to introduce herself when a voice came from the speakers in the auditorium: "All stand up and sing the school song." This means that the opening ceremony has officially begun, and I have to stop talking to Zheng Xiyi.
