Chapter 54: Spring in the dormitory

The summer of 1982 passed in a hurry.

In the summer, Italy won the World Cup, Spielberg's ET took the world by storm, and Hinckley, who assassinated Reagan, was sentenced to life in prison.

However, everything has been gently gone with the wind, and time is still ruthlessly walking on the road of history with his steady and powerful steps.

And Gan Guoyang, a smuggler who has penetrated the gap in time, will start his new life in Los Angeles in September 1982.

Although, he doesn't seem to like the city very much.

"And then Gan? You shut them all up with a board-hitting dunk! And then what? ”

"No, they didn't shut up, they couldn't close their mouths open! Their expressions are as if... Well, as surprised as I was when I first saw you. ”

"You... You're talking nonsense again... How did you see me the first time?"

"Absolutely! Why can't it, when I looked at your chin, I knew that this girl must be a big beauty, but I don't know why she is so fierce. ”

"Who told you to stare at the woman in the ad all the time! Your eyes are straight, you still seem to know her name? Is it your friend? ”

"Huh? Oh no, I... I was just... I just suddenly thought of a person who looked quite like the heroine in the advertisement, and I accidentally said it. ”

"Really? But she's weirdly good-looking, and she seems to play basketball too. ”

"Hehe, your basketball game is not bad, although it is much worse than me."

"Bah, I'm not ashamed, I'm a girl, and I'm so much shorter than you!"

"Hmph, I didn't see that you looked like a girl, so fierce...... Oops! You're pinching me again! ”

The pair of guys who flirted while eating ice cream on the street were Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi, who came to Los Angeles at the beginning of school.

Throughout the summer, Gan Guoyang almost soaked in the street courts of Auckland, honing his skills and willpower in the fierce street confrontation without referees.

As a professional basketball player, going wild on the street is either considered a bully or scolded by the coach because of the ease of injury and learning bad playing habits.

However, it also depends on the level of street ball.

The legendary Rock Park and Baker Stadium, Gan Guoyang did not have the opportunity to see at this time, but the streets of Auckland are indeed a playground for a group of talented players.

The heads-up with Mitchell that day, in the end, the two drew 5:5, and neither side could prevent anyone.

But Gan earned the respect of the crowd at Auckland and his opponents with his stunning dunk, and he became one of the most popular players on the field.

He was nicknamed "respondent" because he was always the first to respond to his opponent's provocations.

It's like he responds to the hook with a slam dunk.

Gan Guoyang's big gain on the street is that he is more comfortable in his ball skills.

If the experience of the Palo Alto basketball team has made him a qualified and excellent basketball player, it has given him a solid foundation and basic qualities.

Then the tempering on the street made him have an extra layer of creativity and a touch of artistic beauty.

Gan Guoyang's basketball world has become more colorful.

But his biggest gain this summer is not street ball, but Wang Fuxi.

After indulging in street solitude for nearly a week and not having the time and energy to write to Wang Fuxi, Gan Guoyang drove directly to Inglewood, Los Angeles in mid-July, taking his Walkman to meet the girl who broke into his heart for the first time.

When Wang Fuxi, who had not received the letter for many days and had become depressed, saw the familiar tall figure and face again by the window of the electrical appliance store, he could no longer suppress the joy and desire in his heart, rushed out of the door in front of his father, and hugged Gan Guoyang tightly.

It's so strange between men and women, two people who don't know each other can become the closest people in the world overnight, and two lovers who used to talk to everything can also become strangers in an instant.

Gan Guoyang hugged the fragrant and soft body, except for feeling some unbelievable in his heart, everything seemed to be so natural.

It was as if he had opened his eyes that day and arrived at a hotel in Shanghai, and Gan Youwei came to the room with dinner.

"Perhaps, the future is really all a dream?" Gan Guoyang took Wang Fuxi's hand and walked on the street of Hollywood, thinking about this summer and that hug, and couldn't help but think.

At this time, August is coming to an end, and the university will start in September, Gan Guoyang came to Los Angeles a few days early, in addition to preparing for the start of school, but also to meet Wang Fuxi a few more times, although he can often see each other in Los Angeles in the future.

"Hey, Forrest Gump, what are you thinking?" Wang Fuxi looked at Gan Guoyang's eyes a little distracted, and asked with wide eyes while licking the ice cream.

"I was thinking, your hands are so soft, like jellyfish in the Pacific Ocean, I really didn't expect you to play basketball." Gan Guoyang shook Wang Fuxi's hand, the smooth and delicate touch really didn't look like an athlete's hand.

"Hmph, I'm well maintained, I still have to play the piano, if I don't protect my hands well, my hands will already have a lot of calluses." Wang Fuxi wrinkled her nose at Gan Guoyang and said, but she also subconsciously clenched Gan Guoyang's hands, which made her feel extremely powerful and reliable.

"Alas, it's just your temper, and it's the same as a jellyfish, covered in thorns, look at my arm...... Oops! Don't pinch it! Before Gan Guoyang finished speaking, he grinned and shouted again, fortunately they all spoke in Chinese, and others could not understand it, otherwise they would be laughed at.

"Who made you always blind and slandered me, I was covered in thorns everywhere!" The perpetrator still does not admit his atrocity, and his face is righteous.

And as soon as Gan Guoyang saw the somewhat puffed but cute face under the cap, he naturally couldn't lift his anger at all, so he was silent and didn't say anything.

Wang Fuxi saw that Gan Guoyang stopped talking, and knew that he was playing with his temper, not to mention that he was really not light, Gan Guoyang's arm has really suffered in the past few days.

hugged Gan Guoyang's arm, and his face was tightly attached to his strong and powerful arm, like a homecoming pigeon, snuggling up to him.

Gan Guoyang saw that this little pepper suddenly became a little cabbage, and knew that he had succeeded in pretending to be pitiful, not to mention that the white rabbit on Wang Fuxi's chest was also scratching his arm from time to time.

This feeling really makes Gan Guoyang restless in the summer, and at the same time extremely enjoyable.

If Wang Fuxi saw Gan Guoyang's satisfied face, he would inevitably commit domestic violence against him again.

In this way, the two of them, like all couples, took a big walk around Hollywood, the most famous attraction in Los Angeles.

Gan Guoyang walked through the Avenue of Stars, saw Beverly Hills, and saw various scenes and props used in filming movies.

And this was only 1982, Gan Guoyang knew that in the future, there would be more and more scene props here, and the technology would become more and more advanced, and then a large number of Hollywood blockbusters would flock to the world and flock to China on the other side of the Pacific.

"Okay Fuxi, I'm going back. Go home and rest early, UCLA will start tomorrow and you may not have time to come to you. Your school is starting soon, isn't it? ”

It was getting late, and Gan Guoyang sent Wang Fuxi back to their electrical appliance store and said goodbye to her at the door.

Wang Fuxi pulled the corner of Gan Guoyang's clothes and refused to let go, his head was lowered, and he didn't say a word.

This girl who seems to be competitive and stubborn, but she has a weak and sensitive heart, and she is also like any girl, eager to be cared for and cared for by the opposite sex.

It's just that she has always shown herself as the eldest sister, and with the identity of a Chinese-American mixed-race, she is always thorny and tough everywhere.

Now that she had finally met someone who could love and care for her, and at the same time be better, even if she was separated for a quarter of an hour, she found it unbearable.

"Fuxi? Fuxi? Gan Guoyang saw that Wang Fuxi didn't speak, and gently held her face.

There was a faint trace of tears in Wang Fuxi's eyes.

Gan Guoyang's heart couldn't help but soften, he reached out to carefully wipe away the little teardrop, and lowered his head to kiss Wang Fuxi's lips gently.

Wang Fuxi, who was still a little wilted, seemed to be suddenly thrown on the grill, without any preparation, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he took a step back, twisting his hands together and not knowing what to do.

"I... I went in... My mom should be back, she saw it, but... It's not good. After speaking, Wang Fuxi, who was reluctant just now, fled and seemed to run back to the store.

Gan Guoyang looked at her back, thinking about the gentle kiss, "It's so sweet~"

…………

Early the next morning, Gan Guoyang woke up from the bed in the hotel, packed his luggage and returned the room, ready to go to UCLA to officially report to the university.

As Gan Guoyang, who has gone to college once and reported for fame once in later generations, it is really a piece of cake to report to the university alone.

Originally, Gan Youwei had to accompany Gan Guoyang to live or die, but Gan Guoyang finally insisted on coming alone.

On the one hand, he wanted to meet Wang Fuxi, but it was inconvenient for his father to follow, and on the other hand, Gan Youwei's English was still at the level of the sixth grade of Chinese primary school.

Not only could he not help, but he might also need Gan Guoyang to take care of him, so in the end, Gan Youwei, who loved his son, gave up sending his son to school and let Gan Guoyang sign up alone.

Gan and Chen arrived in Los Angeles in mid-August, and the University of Southern California and California State University opened in mid-August.

In the United States, the fall semester starts from the beginning of August to the end of September, so Gan Guoyang can't come with the other two.

When Gan Guoyang carried a large bag and a lot of things he thought he had, and took a taxi to UCLA, he realized how unique he was to be such a person.

The parking lots on and around UCLA's campus have long been filled with private vehicles, large and small.

In addition to all kinds of cars, there are pickup trucks.

In the cargo box of these pickup trucks, various household appliances are placed, such as double-cylinder washing machines, 17-inch color televisions, and vertical refrigerators.

Basically, all kinds of electrical appliances that were available in the 80s, all of them are in these cars.

The parents also helped their children carry daily necessities to their dormitories.

Only then did Gan Guoyang know that he had pity for the hearts of parents all over the world, and their feelings for their children were the same everywhere.

It's just that Gan Guoyang, a lonely big guy, walks on the golden campus, which is a bit eye-catching.

Because he has been to UCLA several times before, Gan Guoyang is still familiar with the environment on campus, and he also knows where his dormitory is.

UCLA's dormitories are more like guesthouses than dormitories.

Compared with Gan Guoyang's later Chinese college accommodation, the United States more than 20 years ago, the university accommodation was better.

Who is the most developed country in the world?

When he was in Palo Alto before, Gan Guoyang lived with Gan Guohui, and there was no problem at all together.

And now that I have a new environment, I don't know what kind of roommates I will meet?

Gan Guoyang is considered a special sports enrollment, so his student status has already been registered, and he does not need to register like other ordinary freshmen.

So, he took his luggage and basketball and went straight to the dormitory.

"Fuck, this shitty school is so big, it's a long way to get to the dorm." Gan Guoyang can be described as trekking on the road, and the thought of the dormitory being so far away from the gymnasium makes him feel angry.

Finally, Gan Guoyang arrived at his future residence, and at this time, there were not many people in the freshman dormitory.

UCLA's architecture is different from the Mediterranean style of Palo Alto High School, except for the older Gothic-like buildings, which are more modern and boxy.

Gan Guoyang walked on the stairs of the dormitory, looking at the whitewashed walls, thinking that he could finally live in a place that was more like a modern person, and he didn't have to feel like he was acting in a movie.

"I don't know if my roommate came, I hope I don't scare him if I'm so tall." Gan Guoyang found his room according to the house number, the university dormitory was all two people together, and Gan Guoyang was also a little curious about his new roommate.

Gan Guoyang took the key given by the administrator downstairs and walked to the door of the dormitory room, only to find that the door was not completely closed, but was concealed, leaking a small gap.

"Hey, are the people in the dormitory already here?" Gan Guoyang was a little strange.

So, he gently put his things aside and bent down to peek in through the crack in the door.
