Chapter 149: Arrival in Houston
The trip to MD Anderson Cancer Center was scheduled after the summer vacation, and Bai Sihan told his family that he had found an internship unit and planned to train himself before his senior year, so he would not go home during the summer vacation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In order to avoid Bai Sihan's family not finding her, Zhang Chen also deliberately opened international roaming for her mobile phone, although the phone bill is scary, but for Zhang Cheng now, this cost is really nothing.
Bai Sihan knew that Zhang Chen's parents were working-class, so he was curious where he got so much money.
This time, Zhang Chen did not hide anything from Bai Sihan, he told Bai Sihan about the 365 website he partnered with Jiao Kai and sold the website to Baidu.
Bai Sihan was very surprised when she heard it, because she studied related majors, so the news that the 365 website was acquired by Baidu at a sky-high price has always been a topic of conversation among students of the School of Information, but she never thought that the creator of the 365 website would be by her side.
However, combined with Zhang Chen's previous performances, Bai Sihan felt that all this was reasonable, in her opinion, with Zhang Chen's ability, let alone a 365 website, even if Baidu was founded by Zhang Chen, she would not have the slightest doubt.
Although he is a little blind, in Bai Sihan's heart, Zhang Chen is such a person with infinite possibilities, and nothing can be difficult for him.
Bai Sihan has fantasized countless times that she can get together with Zhang Chen, and she has never had this kind of affection for any other boy, but when she learned that Zhang Chen sold tens of millions of dollars on a website, she felt that she was very far away from Zhang Chen, as if she was a person from two worlds at all, thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Although this trip to the United States was a good opportunity to deepen his relationship with Zhang Chen, Bai Sihan didn't want Zhang Chen to feel that he was using the opportunity to donate bone marrow to Zhang's mother to deliberately get close to him, so Bai Sihan decided to maintain an ordinary friend relationship with him until he returned to China.
After everything was ready, accompanied by the attending physician and a professional interpreter, Zhang Chen, his parents and Bai Sihan boarded a flight to Houston.
Because there is no direct flight, the whole flight time is relatively long, it takes more than 40 hours, fortunately, it is the first class, the seat is more comfortable, and Zhang's mother has been in good physical condition, so in addition to taking off and landing a little uncomfortable, the mental state at other times is still good.
The time he arrived in Houston was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the moment he stepped off the plane, Zhang Chen felt a heat wave coming to his face, the temperature outside was too high, and the air was very humid, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Because Zhang's mother's situation was relatively special, the airport opened a green channel for an ambulance to drive in and pull her directly to the Anderson Cancer Center.
The ambulance couldn't accommodate so many people, so Zhang Chen and Bai Sihan got into another car and then rushed to the hospital.
After the examination of the hospital, Zhang's mother's body did not have any adverse reactions because of the long flight, after the formalities, everyone else was arranged to rest in a hotel near the hospital, because of the time difference, coupled with the fatigue of the journey, Zhang Chen entered his room and fell asleep without even taking off his clothes.
Because of the difference of 13 hours with the time in Huaxia, everyone always seems to be unable to wake up in the first two days, and it is too hot outside, so except for going to the hospital, the rest of the time basically stays in the hotel room to blow the air conditioner, and no one wants to go out.
After adapting to it for a few days, Zhang Chen was no longer as listless as when he first came, and on this day, he planned to visit his mother in the hospital, Bai Sihan happened to be bored in the hotel, so he followed him to the hospital.
Seeing Zhang Chen and Bai Sihan come to visit her together, Zhang's mother was very happy, since she saw Bai Sihan, she liked this kind girl in her heart, but she was also a mother who respected her son, so she would not easily mess with the mandarin duck score.
Zhang's mother warmly beckoned Bai Sihan to sit on the edge of the bed, and then asked if she had gone out for a walk if she couldn't live here, and when she heard that Bai Sihan had stayed in the hotel and never went out, she began to complain that Zhang Chen was not thoughtful.
Zhang Chen hurriedly explained that everyone had been jet lag in the past two days, so he had been staying in the hotel, and now he was basically adapting, and he was trying to take Bai Sihan out for a spin.
Bai Sihan hurriedly said: "Auntie, it's still your illness that matters, if I want to go out, I can do it myself, and I don't need to distract Zhang Chen for me." ”
Zhang's mother patted Bai Sihan's hand and said: "I am already very grateful that you came all the way to come with me for my illness, if I snub you again, then I really can't go in my heart, I have to wait for a week after the operation, I have his father and the doctor to take care of me, you can play with yours when you should play, don't worry about me." ”
Bai Sihan wanted to say something, but Zhang Chen took over: "Mom, I know, I'll accompany her out for a while, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Zhang's mother nodded with a smile, chatted casually with Bai Sihan for a few more words, and then kicked the two out of the ward.
In fact, Zhang Chen had long wanted to accompany Bai Sihan out for a walk, but he didn't know why, since he came to Houston, he always felt that Bai Sihan seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him, so he never brought it up.
Today, Zhang's mother talked about this, and Zhang Chen just took advantage of this excuse to propose to take Bai Sihan out for a spin, Bai Sihan thought about it for a while and did not refuse.
Houston is an industrial city, there are no special tourist attractions, and the most famous is probably the Houston Space Center, where I heard that the rockets and space shuttles launched by the United States were controlled.
Zhang Chen and Bai Sihan's English level is okay, and there is basically no problem with simple oral communication, so the two of them did not bring an interpreter and took a taxi directly to the Houston Space Center.
The Space Center Houston displays a lot of exhibits about aerospace, as well as some high-tech demonstrations, basically every boy will have a dream of aerospace since he was a child, so Zhang Chen is very interested in everything here, but unfortunately, Bai Sihan doesn't seem to be interested in everything here.
Sensing that Bai Sihan was not interested here, Zhang Chen had no choice but to propose a different place and go to Herman Park, the second largest attraction in Houston.
Herman Park was built in the center of the city, and in Zhang Chen's opinion, it is no different from some large parks in China, but Bai Sihan enjoys the feeling of strolling in the green trees and clear water, and it seems that this place is much more attractive to her than the space center.
Seeing that Bai Sihan finally had a smile on his face, Zhang Chen was not happy, so he had to accompany her to the park, and as she walked, a strange building in front of her attracted the attention of two people.
