Chapter 4 Arrival
Lu Xiaoqi stayed on the plane for a little more than 13 hours and landed.
It was a direct flight from Yenching to Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and to get to Harvard, he would have to take a taxi from Boston to Cambridge.
He set off at three o'clock in the afternoon of Yanjing time, and now he is in Boston, the magic is that it is also more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon local time, the same sunset, the same sun, but the land under his feet has changed, and the people around him have all changed, for a while, Lu Xiaoqi felt very lonely, although as an orphan, he has long been accustomed to loneliness, but now this loneliness is difficult to describe in words, in short, it is dull and depressed.
So Lu Xiaoqi is in a very depressed mood now, he wants to find something familiar from the surrounding environment, even if it is a Chinese character, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything.
He walked out of the airport and looked at the sunset, inexplicably a little irritable, his mood was not as bright as the sun.
"Why is the weather so good?" He thought boredly, walking aimlessly.
"Coo" Lu Xiaoqi's stomach screamed, he didn't eat anything for the past 13 hours because he had no appetite on the plane, and now he was really hungry, he decided to eat something first, and then go to find a car to go to Harvard.
He found a fast-food restaurant and walked in.
The moment he entered the store, the originally clear Boston sky was suddenly overcast, and soon the weather became dark and dreary, with lightning and thunder in the clouds in the sky, and it rained heavily in a short time!
βohοΌ s.hitοΌ Passers-by complained, "What the hell is the weather?" The weather forecast clearly says that the weather will be good for the next few days! Damn the Weather Bureau! β
βohοΌ My daughter is almost out of school and she didn't bring rain gear! It's damn weather! β
"Poor Jonny also prepared an outdoor barbecue for the evening! Poor fellow, his date is going to be in the soup as the weather! β
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Lu Xiaoqi was in no mood to care about the weather outside, the owner of this small fast food restaurant was an overseas Chinese, but it gave him some intimacy.
It's a pity that this is not a Chinese restaurant, Lu Xiaoqi asked for a hamburger and some fries, and sat there and ate slowly.
While eating, Lu Xiaoqi heard that there was a waiter at the door who seemed to have an argument with someone. A middle-aged white woman with a Saint Bernard dog on her hand tried to enter the store but was stopped by a waiter.
"Ma'am, we're sorry that we can't have large dogs in our store!" The waiter was very polite.
"It's raining so hard outside, can't you see it? I just wanted to come in and take shelter from the rain! Won't stain your tables and chairs! The white woman said with a faint sarcasm.
"We don't mind if you get the tables and chairs dirty, ma'am! We're just worried that your dog might hurt someone! "The waiter is still humble.
"What? You say my little Pani will bite? Are you kidding? If Massachusetts were to elect the most docile dog, my little Pani would definitely be the champion! The white woman pointed to a large dog that was almost 1 meter tall.
"Poof" Lu Xiaoqi was amused, his English was very good, of course he understood the words of white women, he felt that the cat slaves and dog slaves all over the world were really the same, and his pets were reverse scales, and others couldn't say it.
If the quarrel only ends here, no matter who backs down, it will be good, but who knows that a big thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, as if this thunder and lightning were nearby, and it made people's ears hurt.
Everyone was taken aback, but it was the big dog that was the most frightened.
As if frightened by the thunder, it first pounced forward, knocked down the waiter, then opened the door and rushed into the restaurant for a while, scaring the diners into getting up and dodging.
Seeing that the dog's eyes were red and seemed to be about to bite, a blonde girl sitting at the table next to Lu Xiaoqi screamed.
It was fine not to bark, but as soon as he barked, the dog seemed to be attracted to attention, and galloped towards the girl while running a harass.
How to say it, Lu Xiaoqi is a bad person, he quickly stood up and blocked in front of the girl.
Everyone, including the girl, thought that Lu Xiaoqi was going to be bitten by a dog, but what was surprising was that when the huge vicious dog was about three meters away from Lu Xiaoqi, it suddenly woke up, and then "whooped", lowered his body, and approached Lu Xiaoqi with a crawling approach, looking at him pitifully, his whole body trembling.
Lu Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, remembering the golden retriever of Uncle Jiu's family, and seeing that he was also like this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, is he going to become a source of fear for dogs and even all animals in the future?
"Oh! My little Pani! The white woman rushed over and picked up the big dog's head, "Don't be afraid, mom is here!" After speaking, he glared at Lu Xiaoqi vigilantly: "What did you do to my little Pani?" Did you bring dog repellent? Or an electric shock? β
Of course, she saw that her dog suddenly fell to the ground after meeting Lu Xiaoqi, thinking that Lu Xiaoqi had done some secret action.
Lu Xiaoqi smiled bitterly and took a step closer to the dog, the dog was so frightened that he shrank back a few steps, Lu Xiaoqi shrugged, signaling that it was just that the dog was afraid of him, and he didn't hurt the dog.
The eyes of everyone present widened, although the Saint Bernard was docile, it was not cowardly, and it was never heard of such a large dog being so afraid of a human.
Obviously, this dog is not afraid of strangers, and there are a few people present who are taller and stronger than Lu Xiaoqi, but I didn't see that this dog was afraid of them.
"Weird Asian, it looks like my little Pani doesn't like you!" The white woman glared at Lu Xiaoqi unhappily and left the restaurant with the dog.
Lu Xiaoqi shook his head speechlessly, walked back to his seat and continued to eat.
"Thank you!" Lu Xiaoqi was taking a big bite of the hamburger, and the girl who was blocked by him just now stepped forward and thanked him.
"My name is Annie, thank you for saving me, I'm afraid of dogs!" The blonde girl sat down opposite Lu Xiaoqi very generously, "Don't you mind if I sit here?" "The girl is very beautiful, with a hot body, flowing blond hair, bright eyes and dark blue eyes, delicate facial features, and good skin, which is not lost to the delicacy of Asians.
Lu Xiaoqi swallowed the food in his mouth: "Of course, please!" β
I have to say,He's not very good at communicating with girls.,As usual.,Shouldn't you introduce yourself at this time.,And then climb up the pole.,Get the girl's contact information?
The girl on the other side didn't mind his coldness and continued: "I'm from California, and I went to college in Cambridge next door!" Can you tell me your name? β
Lu Xiaoqi has never accosted others and has no experience. But he has experience of being accosted! And the experience is very good.
When I was in China, there were often girls who accosted him in various ways and confessed to him, so I got used to it, generally at this time, as long as I walked away silently, or gave a fake name, fake phone and false address, it was over, but today is a special day, today I left my hometown, came to this strange country, a strange city, and met the first girl who expressed kindness to himself, and he didn't plan to lie.
"My name is Lu Xiaoqi, I am from Huaguo, and like you, I am also a student and am about to go to school in Cambridge." Lu Xiaoqi replied.
"Really? What school are you from? Anne seemed happy, "Your name is a little hard to pronounce, do you have an English name?" Chinese pronunciation is so hard! β
"I'm going to study at Harvard, and I don't have an English name." Lu Xiaoqi finished eating the hamburger and wiped his mouth.
"Coincidentally, I'm from Harvard too! I'm in law school, what did you study? Anne smiled even more.
"Physics." Lu Xiaoqi replied.
"Cool! I also want to study physics, but I'm too stupid! Anne joked, "Are you going back to school?" Need a ride? I'll take you! After speaking, he shook the car keys in his hand.
What a zealous! Are the American people so welcoming? The corners of Lu Xiaoqi's mouth curled, and the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of the girl in front of him infected him, making his gloomy mood much better.
It's strange to say, Lu Xiaoqi smiled, and the rainstorm outside immediately stopped, and the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the sunset that had not yet sunk! Of course, no one is aware of this connection.
"Alright! I didn't expect to meet good people as soon as I came to the United States! Good luck! Lu Xiaoqi stood up and stretched out his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you!" Annie. β
"Me too, Lu! You're new to the U.S.? Are you a freshman this year? Anne held Lu Xiaoqi's hand.
"No, I'm a transfer student! I just transferred to another school today. Lu Xiaoqi smiled, "By the way, how are your driving skills?" He made a rare joke.
"You'll find out if you try!" Anne shook her eyebrows, smiled, and took the lead to the door, "The weather seems to be clearing, let's go, follow me!" β
"Wait a minute!" Lu Xiaoqi shouted embarrassedly, a little ruining the atmosphere, "I haven't settled yet!" Eh, can I swipe Huaguo's card here? β
