When Jing Ye lay down peacefully, because of the time difference, Shen Xiao in the United States was facing the busyness of enrollment. Shen Xiao didn't let his aunt help, and chose to complete the tedious admission procedure alone.

As a Chinese, Shen Xiao, although he has passed English level 6, but because he has been staying at his aunt's house and has not gone out much, his aunt has not spoken Chinese for a long time, and communicates with him in Chinese, so Shen Xiao's English can be said to be dumb English, and he has hardly spoken.

At noon, Shen Xiao successfully took a taxi to the American middle university, which is a school that recruits international students, so there are many Chinese students, but there are also many local Americans. The school building is brown with brown walls and blue tiles, with a tall spire lighthouse in the middle, a huge clock that can be seen clearly, and dense trees, bushes, and flowers everywhere. Shen Xiao dragged his suitcase, but he couldn't find the registration office for new students, and finally saw the sign of the registration office for new students written in English.

What is this place? Am I on the wrong track? Shen Xiao looked at the unfamiliar environment, there were cobblestone paths under his feet, one by one with different colors, next to them were green grass and trees, there was nothing, and he began to realize that he had gone wrong.

"Bang, bang, bang......" The sound of hitting was getting louder and louder, this was Shen Xiao's familiar voice, he listened to the sound coming from the other side of the tall grass, and made a bold decision. He threw his suitcase over the top of the bushes and slipped through the middle of the grass himself. Sure enough, he saw the large basketball court he expected, and the men and women exuded their youthful enthusiasm, working hard to sweat under the basketball hoop. The so-called freshman registration office is in the open space next to the basketball court, and the professional registration office composed of simple tables and chairs is lined up there, and it turns out that he walked to the road next to the sign.

Shen Xiao walked towards his major in a good mood, Shen Xiao looked at the English name of the major hanging on the table, and said: "Ideological instruction, no, teacher-training, no, jurisprudence, no, next..."

"Hello, I'm a freshman majoring in law, I'm here to sign up." Shen Xiao's English is not very fluent, but he can also be understood.

"You're welcome." The seniors majoring in law warmly welcomed him.

"Please let us take a look at the acceptance letter." The senior sister said politely that she had read Shen Xiao's admission letter, "It's okay, go forward, and then ......" The senior sister explained the dormitory building where Shen Xiao should go.

Shen Xiao, who listened carefully, said with a hearty smile: "I know, senior sister is so good, thank you, senior sister." While Shen Xiao thanked his senior sister, he didn't forget to praise his senior sister. Shen Xiao, who came out of his sadness, forgot about Jing for a while, and regained his spirit, became cheerful again.

The senior sister who had read the admission letter knew Shen Xiao's name, and she smiled and said to Shen Xiao, "Shen Xiao, you are really good at talking." ”

"Senior sister, I'll go to the dormitory first." Shen Xiao waved his hand to say goodbye to his senior sister.

The senior sister also waved goodbye happily.

Shen Xiao walked into his dormitory, it was a two-person dormitory, one of the two large beds already had an owner, he had already made the bed, sat by the window, looked intently at the scenery outside the window, there was a blank painting in front of him, holding an oil paintbrush in his hand, and a paint plate of various colors was placed on his other hand.

Shen Xiao saw him and immediately greeted him in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Shen Xiao, I'm from China, it's a pleasure to meet you." Shen Xiao's English began to slip away.

His roommate ignored him, still looking out the window in his usual position.

“Hi。” Shen Xiao stood next to him and said it again. However, the man ignored him.

What a strange person. Shen Xiao thought in his heart, stop talking to his roommate, and go to tidy up his things.

When Shen Xiao was working hard to sort things out, his stomach, which had not eaten at noon, began to be emotional, and he screamed "gurgling".

Shen Xiao frowned slightly, looked at his uncompetitive stomach, thought about it, and decided to obey his physiological needs. He raised his head, looked at his roommate, who had been in a position by the window, and asked him in a friendly manner, "Roommate, are you hungry?" Would you like to come with me to dinner? ”

The roommate still didn't answer him, and Shen Xiao's smile kept hanging on his face. In the end, he reluctantly put down the smile on his face, thinking: Why is this roommate so difficult to get along with, ten times harder than getting along with Xiaoye. When he complained, he didn't notice that he inadvertently remembered Sedume.

"Since you don't answer, I'll treat you as if you don't go, then I'll go to dinner first." Shen Xiao said dejectedly, and then walked towards the door.

At the moment when he went out, a loud shout came from behind him: "Eat? Don't go, come with me. ”

Shen Xiao turned around and saw that the wooden figure by the window was gone, the pen was the original clean color, the paint plate was also clean white and neatly placed on the table, and the drawing board was covered with a white cloth, and the painting inside could not be seen.

A cheerful boy in a crisp white T-shirt and black knee-length shorts walked out of the toilet with a smile on his face, and he said, "Let's go, roommate." And he walked out through the door.

Shen Xiao didn't understand why a quiet teenager who was still painting by the window just now suddenly turned into a friendly roommate who warmly beckoned him to dinner. He nodded mechanically, but stood there motionless.

Shen Xiao's roommate showed half of his body at the door again and said, "Roommate, aren't you leaving?" ”

Shen Xiao followed, thinking: Is this still my roommate? Am I having auditory hallucinations?

Shen Xiao's roommate changed his previous indifference, and on the way to the cafeteria, he happily talked to Shen Xiao in Chinese: "My name is An Hua, I am Chinese, roommate, see that you are also Chinese, when did you arrive?" Still don't know your name? ”

Shen Xiao thought in surprise: Didn't I introduce myself early in the morning? Could it be that this roommate of mine has a bad memory?

Shen Xiao remained silent and replied politely: "My name is Shen Xiao, and I am indeed Chinese. ”

"I said, my instincts were right." An Hua happily boasted about herself.

Shen Xiao thought of An Hua's appearance when he had just painted, and asked, "Are you from the art department, learning to paint?" ”

"You guessed right, how do you know? Am I born with the temperament of an artist? An Hua looked at herself, a little incredulous, but she still said so.

Shen Xiao was a little helpless, he said truthfully: "An Hua, I arrived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as I arrived, I saw you sitting by the window, holding a paintbrush." I introduced myself, but ......" Shen Xiao finished speaking, looking at An Hua quietly.

An Hua's expression was a little embarrassed: "So that's the case, I definitely didn't pay attention to you in this way." He continued to explain: "I'm sorry, Shen Xiao, as long as I paint, my eyes will only be paintings, no matter who calls me, I won't realize it." An Hua secretly looked at Shen Xiao out of the corner of his eyes with apologies.

As soon as An Hua finished speaking, Shen Xiao understood. So that's the case, and it makes sense. He patted An Hua generously on the shoulder: "Alas, that's the case, I thought I offended my roommate before school started." It's okay, I'll go eat! ”

"Let's go, eat, I've been sitting for a day, I've been hungry for a long time." An Hua couldn't agree with Shen Xiao's proposal.

The two people who had been hungry for a long time couldn't even talk when eating, so they kept stuffing things into their mouths all the time. The two who were full of food spread out on their seats in unison, and the two casually looked at each other for a second, and then they both laughed, and it was a like-minded laugh that found the same kind.

"Let's go." Shen Xiao sat up straight and said.

"Okay." An Hua Lang responded.

On the trail of a middle school in the United States, there are two male students, neither of whom is short, one is slightly taller and the other is slightly shorter; One with wheat-colored skin, one with a fair complexion; One kept talking, the other laughing happily. These two people are Shen Xiao and An Hua, who have eaten too much.

Shen Xiao's eyes saw the basketball court he had seen at noon, and his hands itched. Since he was in high school, his mother has made him focus on his studies and does not let him play basketball more, he can only play a dozen on weekends, and when he was at his aunt's house, because of learning English and catching up on school, he was busy with various things, and he didn't care about playing ball. He hurriedly asked An Hua: "An Hua, are you leaving?" Exercise after eating. Shen Xiao's eyes indicated the direction of the basketball court, and his eyes were still flashing with excitement.

An Hua looked at Shen Xiao's eyes, and immediately knew what he meant: "It's okay, let's have a discussion!" "An Hua doesn't really like to play basketball, and of course his skills are not very good, but the average level is still there. He saw that Shen Xiao was so eager to try, of course he couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Just what I want, let's go." Shen Xiao rushed ahead.

In the face of Shen Xiao, who has not touched basketball for a long time, playing basketball is still a bit rusty, so at the beginning, he and An Hua can be said to be tied, and the number of goals scored is about the same.

"An Hua, I'm going to get serious." Shen Xiao was on the center line of the basketball court, hunched over, dribbling the ball with his left and right hands, and loudly declared war on An Hua.

Not to be outdone, An Hua responded: "Come on!" ”

Shen Xiao dribbled straight forward, and An Hua steadily stopped Shen Xiao and didn't let him take a step forward. Shen Xiao jumped to the left with a serious expression, An Hua immediately went to intercept, Shen Xiao immediately went to a spin, escaped from An Hua's interception circle, quickly dribbled to the basket, jumped hard, shot beautifully, the knife fell, and the ball went in.

“Yes。” Shen Xiao bent his hands and swung downward, proud of himself.

"That's right, Shen Xiao." An Hua said sincerely behind Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao turned around and said loudly, "Come again." ”

"Okay, I'll fight with you to the end today." An Hua's competitive spirit was aroused.

Their intense, energetic game also attracted some people to get up and watch. A cute apple-faced girl with a double ponytail is looking at the stars in her eyes on the side of the field. Looking along her line of sight, it was Shen Xiao who was running. "Wow, that's handsome, it's completely my dish." The apple-faced girl's eyes kept following Shen Xiao, and she said obsessively: "Healthy wheat color, sports, sunshine, handsome, ah, I'm going to fall." ”

In addition to the attention of a little fan girl, Shen Xiao seems to have the attention of a junior senior. The junior had dark wheat-colored skin, he crossed his hands on his chest, and watched Shen Xiao play with a solemn expression, his eyes kept following Shen Xiao's steps.

It wasn't until Shen Xiao and An Hua finished fighting and left that the junior left with a steady footstep, and his deep voice came out: "It's you kid." ”
