Today's third update, continue to ask for support, recommendation, collection, evaluation, dear book friends. After updating this chapter, I went to sleep, the sequelae of the cold. Here is the text:

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Shi Lei, who was idle, went to get his driver's license. It's nothing more than walking straight with the examiner in the car, turning a corner, or something like that. However, according to the examiner, there are still people who can't pass the test if it's so simple. A magical female driver drove a car and almost killed the examiner. Of course, Shi Lei completed the test very easily and got his driver's license.

Shi Lei, who has already eaten many places in Los Angeles, decided to stay in Santa Barbara this time to familiarize himself with the environment and facilitate his future life.

However, it's a bit boring to wander around by yourself all the time.

Shi Lei thought about it, it seems that one of the foreign friends she met on MSN was studying at the University of California, Santa Barbara, according to her, she was a native of Santa Barbara, and she claimed to be a beauty.

With a slightly excited mood and the expectation of meeting netizens for the first time and across borders, Shi Lei came to the café at the entrance of UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara) early, patiently waiting for the arrival of this beautiful woman named Laura.

UCSB is now ranked relatively high among American universities under the leadership of Chinese President Yang Zuyou, and is one of the Ivy League schools of public universities, one of the most beautiful universities in the United States, and the most interesting university selected by American college students.

At the appointed time, a beautiful woman walked towards Shi Lei.

What kind of beauty is this, with long black hair naturally draped over her shoulders, a pair of sapphire-like sparkling eyes, and delicate facial features, there is a kind of seductive beauty. The S-shaped figure reflected by the skin of the frost and snow is bumpy, and the denim hot pants and small shirt make her as bright and dazzling as the sun.

Shi Lei looked away with a little blushing after looking at it twice, to the point that the soul that he didn't see was gone like what was written in many novels, or his nosebleeds were wild, but of course it was understandable that his blood pressure would rise appropriately.

"You're Locke, aren't you?" The beauty said hello to Shi Lei generously.

"Uh, yes. You're Laura? Shi Lei returned with some surprise. After a while, Shi Lei realized that this beauty spoke pure Mandarin instead of the expected English.

"What? Surprised? I'm Laura. The beauty replied very generously.

"Although I heard you say that she is a beauty, I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful beauty." Shi Lei was a little lame to hide his embarrassment. When chatting, Shi Lei just wanted to practice his English, and he had voice chatted, but he had never video with a beautiful woman.

"In addition, your Chinese is really good." Shi Lei praised from the bottom of his heart. Although this beauty looks like an Asian-European mixed-race, it is indeed a bit unexpected that Chinese speaks such a standard.

"Thank you for the compliment." Laura generously accepted Shi Lei's praise.

"My dad was of mixed Chinese and American descent, but he insisted that he was Chinese, so he asked me to be fluent in Chinese. And I still have a bit of a talent for languages, so ......"

Laura was very unceremoniously boastful, but Shi Lei, who already knew Laura through the chat, didn't feel anything, because Laura has always been so confident, which is also the consistent characteristic of Americans, confident and really cute.

"And, as I told you, I'm of mixed Chinese, French, and Japanese descent, and I know all four languages, and I know Spanish, because I grew up in Santa Barbara."

Laura continued to create surprise, isn't this a bit of a linguistic talent, is it simply the rhythm of a linguistic genius?

"Ah, you're amazing! By the way, I'm here because I'm going to live in Santa Barbara for a long time, and we might be neighbors in the future. Shi Lei said happily.

"Oh? Are you going to study in Santa Barbara? Where is it? Laura asked with some curiosity, there are indeed not many Chinese who come to Santa Barbara as new immigrants, and most of the people here are the elderly who come for vacation or retire here, and most of the young people who live here come to school.

"No, I bought a ranch in the northwest corner of Golita City, and I'm a small rancher from now on. From tomorrow, I will be a happy person, feed horses, chop wood, and travel the world. From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables. I have a house facing the sea and spring is blooming. ”

In the end, Shi Lei already looked like he was fascinated and happy. However, this poem is indeed an apt description of Shi Lei's ranch.

"Oh, really? Can I go to your ranch and have a look? Laura asked Shi Lei to say that she was also a little yearning.

"Well, sorry, not yet. The previous owner of the ranch was still packing up his things, so he had to wait a few days. Can you take me to get acquainted with Santa Barbara in the next few days? Shi Lei looked at Laura expectantly.

"Absolutely, Santa Barbara is a great place, both in terms of history and nature, and there are all kinds of activities to do here.

Water sports such as surfing, sailing, fishing, etc., if you are afraid of water, there are also activities such as rock climbing, mountaineering, hiking, horseback riding, and quiet activities, as well as museums, gardens, operas, concerts, recitals, and festivals in Santa Barbara.

In addition, it is home to one of the most popular bars among young people in the country, Canary Bar. Of course, there are also a variety of cuisines from all over the world. ”

Looking at Laura's last talk about food, this beauty is also a foodie, which is very compatible with Shi Lei.

"That's great. Let's take a stroll around Santa Barbara starting tomorrow. Shi Lei was very happy that he was able to successfully invite beautiful women to travel with him.

After that, Laura was very curious to ask about China's customs and customs, and was also full of yearning for many scenic spots in Shi Lei's mouth, saying that he must go to see it if he has the opportunity.

And Laura also gave a detailed introduction to all the good places in Santa Barbara, and of course, there were a few restaurants that she felt she must visit, making no secret of her foodie nature. Of course, it can also be heard that Laura is very proud of her hometown.

Early the next morning, Laura came to the door of UCSB at the scheduled time and found Shi Lei waiting here. And Laura is graduating this year, so she didn't run far, and only played in a few places nearby.

The first day of the itinerary arranged by Laura for Shi Lei was a Santa Barbara cultural tour.

The first stop, of course, was a guided tour of the school campus led by Laura, a UCSB student. After that, they rode the variable speed mountain bike that they bought under Laura Jiany, and the two went to visit the Mission Church and the county courthouse together, both of which are considered must-visit places in Santa Barbara, and Shi Lei is not exempt from vulgarity.

After the tour, the two foodies went to the restaurant by the pier to have a full meal of seafood under Laura's Jianyì. I have to say that Laura is really a qualified foodie, and the recommended seafood restaurant tastes really good.

After dinner, the two rested on the dock for a while, chatted about some trivial things in their own lives, and talked about some interesting things in their own homes.

It sounds like Laura's father is a typical Chinese parent, and the education method is still very traditional, while her mother feels a bit like a traditional housewife, which is similar to Shi Lei's family. And Laura's parents are both UCSB professors, and the two also have plans to let Laura stay at the school to teach.

In the afternoon, the two rode on mountain bikes, visited several well-known museums, and after making an appointment to meet the time and place of the next day, Shi Lei sent Laura to the door of the house, and then left with a little reluctance.

Early the next morning, the two of them boarded a shark van (an amphibious sightseeing bus) and took a classic tour around Santa Barbara. The shark cart took the two of them around the famous attractions and even rushed out into the sea to get a closer look at Santa Barbara's most famous dolphins.

The two of them who got out of the car simply walked down the plank road by the sea, talking and laughing as they walked towards an Italian restaurant recommended by Laura.

As usual, Shi Lei took a lot of pictures of food and posted them to his space and blog, and wrote his views on each dish.

Now Shi Lei's blog is also famous, and under the recommendation of his group of foodie friends, there are now many foodie fans. In the past, only he had eaten and cooked all kinds of dishes in China, but now they have been eaten in the United States, with some beautiful scenery or something, which really attracted a lot of attention.

Shi Lei found that Laura, a beautiful woman, was very compatible with himself in the selection of food, and it may be due to her designer's aesthetic vision.

She felt that these delicious things did make Shi Lei very comfortable to eat, of course, eating with such a gentle and generous beauty was a pleasant thing for both body and mind.

Similar family situations have created similar personalities and hobbies between the two, and even their growth experiences have a lot of similarities, which makes the two have a lot of common topics when chatting, a movie, a novel, and a song can make the two chat for a long time, and the two optimists are not lacking in humor cells, so they are always full of laughter when they are together.

AFTER LEAVING THE RESTAURANT, THE TWO DECIDED TO GO SHOPPING IN THE CITY CENTER TOGETHER IN THE AFTERNOON, SO LED BY LARA, THE TWO WALKED THROUGH THE CENTRAL AREA SURROUNDED BY SEVERAL CENTRAL STREETS SUCH AS STATESTREET, WENT TO THE BOOKSTORE TO READ NEW BOOKS, WENT OUT TO VISIT THE FARMER'S MARKET, AND WHEN THEY WERE TIRED, THEY WOULD ORDER A CUP OF COFFEE AT THE STREET CAFÉ AND SIT FOR A WHILE. After resting, we went to various parks together.

Santa Barbara's farmer's market is held almost every day, when the city government staff will seal off the streets with large signs, and then many farm grandparents will put all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits from their own organic farms for the surrounding people to choose from.

Of course, there is no need to worry about traffic congestion in Santa Barbara, which is different from many cities in the United States and has very few cars on the road.

It's not that people here can't afford to buy a car, the top few housing prices in the United States determine whether they live here or not, but people here prefer a healthy way of traveling, all kinds of bicycles are common, sitting and riding, lying riding, two people riding, several people riding, all kinds of things, everything. People either walk or ride their bikes when they go out, and only when they go far away do they choose to drive.

People on the streets wear spring and even summer clothes, and in Santa Barbara, if you are a little frost-resistant, you can wear shorts and shorts all year round, and there is no shortage of people who exercise in the beach and in the park in any season.
