Chapter Ninety-Five: Welcome Party!
(Thank you for your professional and enthusiastic suggestions in the book review area!!!! There's another chapter later!! )
In a temporary borrowed multimedia classroom on Duke University's East Campus, a group of black-haired, yellow-skinned young men and women were watching intently as they introduced the new Duke students on stage.
"Hello everyone, my name is Fairy Tale. From Guangzhou, it's a pleasure to meet you! "A girl in her early twenties, with outstanding looks and figure, but her expression was unconsciously arrogant.
Yu Lingfeng, the host of this welcome meeting, saw signs of coldness. Hurriedly beckoned the students below to applaud and ......!
"Thank you, I'm in my first year of graduate school in business school." The girl finally laughed when she heard the applause below.
After the other party finished introducing himself, the host took over the conversation. "Fairy Tale classmate, in the future, you and all of us here will be a family. If there is any difficulty, just speak. I think there are a lot of students below who are very willing to help, our lovely and innocent classmates, right? ”
"That's right! Do you have a boyfriend? ”
"Have you found a dormitory? I can still live there. ”
“……”
The variety of answers made the girl a little proud and a little disdainful. But such an atmosphere makes everyone feel a lot less homesick.
Sun Yi laughed happily and applauded. Seeing that the senior host on the stage was looking at him, he remembered that it was his turn to introduce himself on stage.
"Many of my classmates have introduced themselves to everyone, but I, as the host of the welcome party, forgot to introduce myself." Yu Lingfeng has the talent of a host, and he speaks very rhythmically, so that people can't help but follow his words. "My name is Yu Lingfeng, and I am a fellow countryman from Shenzhen. I am also a first-year graduate student, studying International Business at Fuqua School of Business. Some of the freshmen below let out a burst of exclamations when they heard this.
"Many of my classmates who are familiar with me will directly call me 'tofu brain'. As for me, a southerner, why do I have the title of this northern specialty snack? There are many versions, so I won't go into more detail here. Another burst of laughter came from below.
"Because I spent four years at Duke, I'm now a standard 'Blue Devil'. The term is generally used to refer specifically to fans of the Duke University men's basketball team. Many students should have heard the legend about the Duke Blue Devils. Well? It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, Duke will turn you into a standard basketball fan, just like I did. ”
Yu Lingfeng, who spoke, cleared his throat. "Sun Yi, please allow me to introduce you to the students here, okay?"
Sun Yi, who had been sitting below, was a little stunned in the face of the sudden change. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and stood up generously and nodded to the classmates around him.
With the other party's consent, Tofu Brain made his expression look more serious.
"Everyone saw this tall and handsome guy just now, and the students who came from China this year may not be familiar with it, but Duke students who like basketball will not be unfamiliar." Tofu Brain pointed at Sun Yi below and raised his voice slightly. He is the first Chinese to win the Interstate High School Basketball Championship and the first Chinese player to win the McDonald's All-Star Game MVP. What the? Both Jordan and Kobe Bryant have competed in this event. He is also the recipient of a full scholarship to Duke University in basketball. ”
Wow! Awesome! Mouth! So handsome! All kinds of exclamations and admiration sounded around Sun Yi.
Yu Lingfeng pressed down with both hands, signaling that he hadn't finished speaking. "Why do I want to introduce this classmate to you today? What the? Yes, I'm a fan of him, yes. Everyone knows that the Duke basketball team is very famous, and I hope that whenever there is a game of the Blue Devils, everyone can go to the scene to cheer for Duke University and our classmate Sun Yi. This will not only cheer for our colleagues, but also allow us to better integrate into the life of Duke University. ”
Sun Yi, who stepped on the stage in the palm of his hand, immediately became the focus of the scene. His tall and sturdy figure, handsome face, and generous demeanor impressed many classmates who met for the first time.
"First of all, I am very grateful to Senior Yu Lingfeng for his introduction!" Sun Yi, who was standing on the stage, applauded the tofu brain classmates on the side. "It's a great honor to meet all of you here......"
At the end of this cordial and harmonious welcome party, as in previous years, the only Chinese restaurant in the school was chartered. The classmates, who had just met for a short time, after being full of wine and food, hooked up one by one and blew their respective......
Sun Yi looked at this noisy scene, and there was no impatience and disgust in his heart, but a warm feeling rose. Perhaps this kind of atmosphere can make these students who are far away from their hometowns no longer lonely!
"Hey! Aren't you used to the meals? I don't think you use your chopsticks much. "Some slightly drunk tofu brain classmates came over with bottles of beer that they hadn't finished drinking.
Sun Yi had a good impression of this enthusiastic senior, explained his eating habits, and gently touched the wine bottle raised by the other party with a glass of water.
"You're an ascetic, but I admire you." Yu Lingfeng, who poured the rest of the beer with his neck up, seemed to be a little overwhelmed......

Normally, when the Duke Blues first assemble in the new school year, they are no different from the professional sports teams. All team members will participate in a unified physical examination to see who has not been able to control their mouths and stomachs during the long summer vacation.
Some of the veteran players haven't seen each other for a long time, and they all get together to chat about the fun of the holiday. "Josh, tell me how many girls you've harmed?" DeMarcus, a junior on the team. Nelson, squeezing his eyes, asked a white teammate beside him.
Josh, who is 2.08 meters tall. McRoberts is the team's face to play, especially after J.J. Redick was drafted by the Magic with the 11th pick this summer. At this time, he still had an inch of hair, and his beard did not grow. Listening to his teammates' jokes, he rolled up his short sleeves, revealing his high, tense biceps. "I wouldn't waste such precious time on boring things."
Nelson, who was just about to tease the other party, saw the team's big brother coming towards them, Joe, who is a senior this year. Pagliuca quickly switched her target. "Joe, what about those newborn eggs?"
Because of the core players Redick and Shelton. With Williams gone, the Duke Blues have entered a rebuilding period. There will be a lot of new blood joining the team this year, although it seems that these laughing and scolding old students don't care about anything, but Pagliuca, as the team's big brother, will take the initiative to run to observe the performance of those newcomers in the physical test.
"Delmar, I think our Blue Devils will be able to bounce back soon." Everyone affectionately calls Nelson, who has an active personality, 'Delmar'.
"Really? Tell me more about it. ”
