On September 3, the Japan Men's Basketball World Championship officially came to an end. The Spanish team defeated the Greek men's basketball team that eliminated the 'Dream Seven Team' in the final to win the final championship.

The U.S. men's basketball team, which once again missed the world championship, took a flight home overnight. Coach K, who was leaning on the wide seat in business class, silently said in his heart, "It's time to start school."

On September 2, local time in the United States, like many schools, today is the beginning of a new academic year at Duke University. The campus, with the addition of many new faces, looks alive.

There is no major college for freshmen in the first year of undergraduate studies in the United States, and only in their sophomore or junior year can they choose a major according to their interests and strengths. During this period, students must earn enough credits.

Since his main focus will be on basketball, Sun Yi has chosen a few courses that seem to be not very difficult. Every Duke student knows that Coach K has very high requirements for his players' cultural performance, and must achieve a B (good) or above in each subject to be eligible to compete on the varsity team. In fact, many American universities will have such a requirement, such as the Heat's Wade lost the opportunity to compete in the NCAA because of his poor grades in his freshman year.

The Georgian-style Central Campus is a must-visit area for freshmen. Many clubs that want to recruit new people will take this opportunity to recruit new blood.

On the branches of trees on the side of the road, a banner with Chinese characters reading "Duke University Chinese Student Association" hangs on it. A guy who was making notes in a notebook said while writing: "Tofu brain, it's almost like today." I'm so hungry! Why don't we come back tomorrow? ”

This Chinese guy nicknamed 'Tofu Brain' is in his second year of graduate school at the Kufford School of Business this year, and he has become an old Duke for four years as an undergraduate. As the president of the Chinese Student Association, he and his roommates took advantage of the first day of school to register the contact information of Chinese students.

He had been observing the flow of people, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had finally found something he had been looking for for a long time. "Lion, hurry up and clean up the stall, we're ready to go back."

Sun Yi, who had just finished receiving his books and was about to take the school bus back to his apartment, was stopped by a Chinese guy who looked to be in his early twenties. The unconcealed joy on the other party's face made him stop involuntarily.

"Classmate, are you Sun Yi? I'm Yu Lingfeng from the Duke University Chinese Student Association. "Although Sun Yi has no interest in most associations, he still smiled politely after hearing the word 'China'." Hello, I'm Sun Yi, what's the matter? ”

Finding that the other party was easier to deal with than he imagined, Yu Lingfeng hurriedly explained: "That's the case, our international student association will gather the domestic students who have just come to Duke to study together every new academic year to have a simple welcome party. Let everyone have a chance to get to know each other, after all, they rely on friends when they go out. ”

At this time, Duke University was a little less famous in China, and Harvard, Stanford, and MIT were more well-known in China. At present, there are more than 200 Chinese students studying in the school, including graduate students and undergraduates, most of whom are graduate students.

felt that what the other party said made sense, Sun Yi happily accepted the other party's invitation and left his contact information.

"Hey! Young Master Wang, don't come to entertain buddy, I'm going to be busy. Sun Yi, who was sitting on the school bus, said a little boringly into his mobile phone.

“……”

"Okay, the house number of my apartment is XXX."

“……”

Sun Yi, who was holding a textbook, had just gotten out of the car and was standing in front of the dormitory door rummaging for the key.

"Hey! Nabs! ”

A sudden voice came from behind, scaring Sun Yi, who had just gotten the door key. turned his head and saw that it was really Wang Bin, the rich second-generation who had just called him. Behind him was still standing Zhang Qingkong, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

It turned out that after knowing that his friend was going to apply for Duke University, Young Master Wang also sent out an application. In order to study in the same university as Sun Yi, Wang Bin, who has always had little interest in academics, has made a lot of efforts. The parents who had already had no hope for this unscrupulous son were overjoyed.

Although, due to Wang Bin's poor foundation, there is still a gap from the admission requirements of Duke University. But Wang Weimin, who rekindled hope for his son, still got a valuable admission place through private donations.

Zhang Qingkong was appointed by the boss to come over to accompany him. There are both the duties of a bodyguard and the duty of eyeliner.

A group of three came to the apartment shared by Sun Yi and Thomas.

"Dude, your house is too small." In the end, it is a rich young master, and he doesn't look down on this ordinary student apartment at all. "Why don't you move me there? Anyway, it's a big place. In order to allow her son to have a safe and comfortable environment during school, her mother Tian Yulan specially bought a house not far from the school for her son and Qingkong to live in.

"Hehe, no need. I'm very close to the training gym, so I can go by running every day. At that time, it was because of this benefit that Sun Yi decided to rent this apartment.

Knowing that his friend was talking about the right thing, Wang Bin didn't continue to dwell on this issue. The three of them chatted in the room for a while, and Thomas returned to the dormitory with a pile of textbooks.

Under Sun Yi's introduction, several players who called themselves brothers and sisters in World of Warcraft quickly became familiar with each other. After seeing his friend answer the phone, Master Wang, who was in good spirits, proposed to go to the bar street near the school to have a good time.

"I'm sorry, I can't do it today, I still have something to do in the evening." Sun Yi has just received a notice from Senior Yu Lingfeng that the Chinese Student Association has prepared a welcome party for new compatriots in the evening.

After getting Sun Yi's explanation, this gentleman who was giggling and not doing anything decent on weekdays showed a rare lonely look on his face. Wang Bin's mood at this time is probably only understood by Qingkong, who has rarely spoken.

A person who renounces his true nationality has no roots. No matter how good the United States is, no matter how rich you are, the Chinese living in this country will more or less feel the rejection of them by the whole society.

Patting the young master's shoulder, Qingkong smiled and said to Sun Yi: "Let's recognize the door today, and we'll get together another day." After speaking, Wang Bin reluctantly showed an apologetic smile.

Seeing the two get into the car parked not far away, Sun Yi waved at them. Compared to the situation when he first came to the United States, he is very happy now.

Not only do I have a lot of familiar friends around me, Thomas, Wang Bin, Zhang Qingkong. There are also a lot of black-haired, yellow-skinned compatriots like myself. No matter how difficult it is to study in another country, with these people who can help you at any time, what is it!
