The next day, just after the end of the professional class, Zhang Yang received a message from Li Yinghui, telling him that he could eat with Ma Liya at noon, so that he could be recognized for his personal ability, because Li Yinghui did not want to participate. Zhang Yang originally wanted to pull his roommate with him to avoid an embarrassing scene, but Zou Kai was really not interested in the English corner, and Gan Jun didn't like this activity either, and among the male classmates, the only one who was interested was Cui Xuanyu.
According to the agreement, the two waited at the north gate, and Ma Liya came to the north gate alone, not wearing yesterday's dress, but long sleeves and jeans, Zhang Yang smiled very happily when he saw her, said hello in authentic colloquial language, looked very kind, and introduced Cui Xuanyu at the same time, saying that he also wanted to know about the English corner.
The three of them chatted very happily in the restaurant, after the meal, Zhang Yang originally wanted to invite a treat, but Ma Liya directly refused, saying that the AA system, the three of them each paid their own money, before leaving, Ma Liya added Zhang Yang's friend, left a mobile phone number, she directly said that Cui Xuanyu is not suitable for the English corner, and said that she is welcome to participate at any time, and she will notify herself in advance if there is an event.
Zhang Yang could see that Ma Liya was very unaccustomed to Cui Xuanyu's character, rarely talked to him during meals, and his English was limited, most of them were Zhang Yang and Ma Liya chatting all the time. For Maria, being alone abroad and being able to hear such authentic American English is the feeling of seeing a fellow countryman, so she has a good impression of Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang is still very sure of his control ability, and when he speaks, he doesn't let Maria see that he wants to know her because he likes her, and participating in the English corner is completely his own excuse.
Back at school, the three of them said goodbye, Zhang Yang and Cui Xuanyu walked on the way to the college, Zhang Yang said apologetically, "Cui Xuanyu, I'm sorry, she didn't agree to you go to the English corner!" ”
"It's okay, I'm just having a good time anyway." After Cui Xuanyu finished speaking, he only heard someone call him.
Zhang Yang recognized that person at once, he was the only one with black hair among the few bastards that day, and many people scolded him that day, but he was the only one who stood aside helplessly.
Cui Xuanyu looked at Zhang Yang embarrassedly, knowing that he recognized this person, and whispered, "I'll explain to you later!" ”
I saw that the little brother hugged Cui Xuanyu and kissed him, Zhang Yang was very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, so he hurriedly entered the academy.
Zhang Yang was waiting in the classroom, looking a little unhappy, and saw Cui Xuanyu come in and ask, "You have always known each other?" Then you have to explain! ”
Cui Xuanyu looked very embarrassed, thinking that he really blamed himself, he didn't expect everyone to be so righteous, and explained, "Actually, after I met him in the Internet café, I confessed to him first, and his brothers beat me when they found out that I was sick, and I was indeed cheap, but he later said that he liked me, and I liked him too, so we were together, in fact, it was the night you helped me that day, he sent a message to confess when he went back, and he also said that he would retake the college entrance examination this year and want to take the exam here!" ”
Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Fortunately, nothing happened, if something really happens, it's all my responsibility, you be careful!" Don't mess with the wrong people again! When Zhang Yang heard him say this, he didn't dare to comment on anything, thinking that it was better not to get too close to this kind of person, so he didn't continue to say anything.
"How? Joined the English Corner? Zou Kai came to the classroom and asked.
She agreed! You can go on Friday night, how about you go? Zhang Yang replied.
"What am I going to do? Couldn't understand anything! Me, it's enough to read books honestly and exercise honestly, and you still have to participate in the debate, right? We've all abstained, so join in! Zou Kai changed into dancing shoes and began to move his muscles.
"It's you! If you don't abstain, you can't do it! You can't debate me together, and it's not all the same whether you participate or not! Zhang Yang deliberately said provocatively, it is indeed a personal strength, and even if a few classmates heard it, no one said anything, just like no one can compare to Zou Kai's kung fu.
In the afternoon, it was the class teacher's class, and after the class, the head teacher recommended a platform for recruiting actors to Zhang Yang and Zou Kai, so that they could find the crew filming in Hainan when they were fine.
Zhang Yang is looking forward to officially going to the English Corner on Friday night, Li Yinghui has made an appointment with herself, Li Yinghui always looks like she never deliberately cleans herself up, the English Corner is outside the school, the main person in charge is a black sister, her name is Lisa, she is thirty-five years old, she has studied here for more than a year, she is from a town in California that she has never heard of, Maria is from New York and Zhang Yang is the same age, but two months older than herself.
At this party, Zhang Yang and Li Yinghui came to the English corner early and said that they wanted to buy fruits, so Ma Liya went shopping with Li Yinghui and a few classmates, and deliberately left Zhang Yang and Lisa to chat. It turned out that Lisa also needed to understand Zhang Yang, the two talked a lot, Lisa also talked a lot about her hometown, as soon as the Americans chatted with Zhang Yang, it was the feeling of seeing a fellow countryman, and there was no foreigner's birth, so Lisa understood why Ma Liya agreed. Just when the two were chatting, there were more and more people coming, about a dozen people before and after, as well as foreign pastors, everyone set up their chairs, Zhang Yang realized that the material of this English corner was from the English version of the Bible, of course, I don't know how many times I read this book, and when other people came back after shopping, everyone made food, while chatting, while discussing and learning, the pastor inquired only to know that Zhang Yang's family are Christians, studied and grew up in the United States, and the Chinese church is basically half a family, Zhang Yang felt like he was back in high school, and he was very happy to listen to it, and the most important thing was that Mariya was sitting next to him all the time.
After dinner, Ma Liya told Zhang Yang that she wanted to visit the dance studio tomorrow, and Zhang Yang naturally happily agreed, and was willing to accompany her as a tour guide.
When he returned to the dormitory in the evening, Zhang Yang was in a particularly good mood, humming a little song into the dormitory, and saw Gan Jun exercising, only to remember that he was going to go to the martial arts club to exercise today, but because his mobile phone was out of power, he couldn't receive a call from Zou Kai, so he hurriedly started charging.
At this time, Zou Kai returned to the dormitory, the vest he was wearing was soaked, he took off his clothes and went directly into the bathroom, without talking to anyone.
"Brother Yangyang, you keep smirking when you come back, what do you think?" Gan Jun finished a set of push-ups and asked while resting.
"I just went to the English Corner! It's been a long time since I've felt this way! I miss it so much! Zhang Yang looked at the circle of friends that Ma Liya had posted before, and they were all photos of playing around with friends.
"Are you in love? It was exactly the same as Liu Zhenming's expression at that time! Is that the foreign girl you know? Gan Jun continued to ask, as he began to do the last set of exercises.
"Why! Just friends! Zhang Yang saw Zou Kai come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and said apologetically, "Zou Kai, the phone was out of battery just now, so I didn't see the message!" ”
"What? You say fitness! I forgot about this stubble, Chen Xuwei and Gao Manqiang said that they want to work out, and they will go together today, you have to talk about it when you have time! I've got to read! After Zou Kai finished speaking, he turned on the lamp and began to read.
Zhang Yang looked at the book, for two days, he kept saying that he had read it, and he had only turned a few pages, and at his own pace, it would be one in three days at most. On the first day of school, Zhang Yang returned the books borrowed from the library, and then borrowed a few more, including "A Brief History of Time", "I Ching", "Einstein's Theory of Relativity", etc., Zhang Yang read these books to pass the time, otherwise he had nothing to do at night, and always wanted to waste time playing games or something.
