Chapter Twenty-Four: One Hit
Within a few days of returning to City B, the TOEFL score came out. Lin Yi didn't know if it was intentional, but he didn't score a full 100 points in the test no more, no less or less, although Gege, who was good at English himself, was 10 points higher than Lin Yi, but Gege couldn't be happy. Gege's score of 110 is perfect for writing and reading, but only 25 for speaking and listening. Although Lin Yi only had 100 points, his speaking and listening combined did surpass Gege, as high as 55 points, Gege felt his gap and was a little frustrated. In addition, many of the fields that need to be in English are qualified in Ma Dai's itinerary, and they feel that they are not as good as Lin Yi. Lin Yi was obviously more fluent in English than Gege, and although he explained that it was because he often traveled abroad with his parents, Gege still felt a little low.
But in any case, they all reached the required scores for Harvard Summer School, and Lin Yi also began to prepare specific application materials, and occasionally asked Gege for some information, and the two of them could go to Boston together for a study tour during the summer vacation.
In addition to being frustrated, Gege was not idle. She submitted her first resume to several well-known training institutions in China, and quickly received almost all of the responses due to her excellent TOEFL score. Gege chose his favorite institution, and after several rounds of interviews, he got his first part-time job, and the hourly salary of the part-time job was 260 yuan before tax, so Gege spent most of his time part-time almost every day after class and on weekends. Many classes are still in the more remote suburbs, so I have to get up early in the morning on weekends to catch the school bus. It's often late to go back to school.
Lin Yi is busy working in the lab and training for the basketball team every day, and has to find time to program some companies. But seeing that Gege's part-time job is so dedicated and hard, he took time out to help Gege sort out the courseware ppt. For Gege's part-time job, Lin Yi's only requirement was that he didn't want her to be too tired, and more importantly, Lin Yi aggrievedly confessed that Gege must not snub him because of work. Sometimes, Gege was so tired that she really didn't want to talk when she went back to school, so Lin Yi silently led her back to the dormitory, and a simple goodnight kiss would no longer bother her, but the next day Gege could always receive a large amount of love words from Lin Yi, full of longing and distress.
But in any case, the work does make Gege feel happy, the first class she led was the high school entrance examination class, listening to the children respectfully call her "Teacher Lin", Gege was surrounded by a strong sense of achievement, and worked harder and harder to actively prepare for classes.
A month later, Gege was pleased to find that there was an extra 16,800 yuan in her account, which was her first salary. She happily took out 10,000 yuan in cash, put it in a hello kitty envelope, and handed it to Lin Yi.
"I didn't prepare anything for the last trip to the Maldives, and the tickets and hotels were all arranged by you. So I thought about it for a while, I'm going to take out a part of my first month's salary, let's set up a travel fund, and use the money from this travel fund every time I go out to play, okay? ”
Since the last conversation with Sister Qing, Lin Yi has understood the source of Gege's sense of security. What she wants is not to be arranged by others, but to be able to participate in it herself and contribute by herself. So Lin Yi took the envelope briskly, "No problem, I'll go open an account and deposit the money into it." ”
Gege happily took Lin Yi's hand and shook it a few times, "I'm so happy, it feels so good to make money." ”
Lin Yi rubbed Gege's hair, "That's also your ability, not everyone can make money so quickly with their own ability." My Gege is awesome. But ......"
Lin Yi suddenly laughed a little thiefly, "But some people seem to be in a hurry, do you want to go out on a trip with me again?" It seems that I can't get enough of it. ”
Gege blushed and slapped Lin Yi's chest, and then was suddenly taken into Lin Yi's arms, "I miss you too, we're going to T City to compete this weekend, can you go with me?" I'll book a room for you, and we'll have a day to play after the race. After speaking, he leaned close to Gege's ear, "The game is Saturday morning, and I won't go to you on Friday night, I have to recharge my energy, and I will be with you after the game." Lin Yi bit the words "recuperate" very hard, which means something.
Gege nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you, and you can use our travel fund to book a hotel this time." Gege jumped for joy.
Lin Yi picked up the envelope and patted Gege's head, "Okay, okay, I know, I won't let you take advantage of me in this matter." "It's clear that there are words in the words, Gege really wants to bite him, Lin Yi is so big! Bad! Egg! Who is taking advantage of whom!?
Lin Yi stood up and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, can you give your best friend a call, the one who arranged the friendship?" ”
"Do you mean Shujing?"
"Hmm."
"Okay, what's the matter?"
"Well, the last time she asked me for help."
Dialed Shujing's phone, Gege handed the phone to Lin Yi after a brief speech.
"Where did the sun come out, Lin Yi, you are actually looking for me?"
"Well, didn't you tell me to help you keep an eye on the boys on the basketball team last time? How many are there, would you like to see them? ”
Hearing that there was a handsome guy, Shujing immediately came to her senses, "Then there must be, when and where?" ”
"We have a game in T City this Saturday, you come over with Gege on Friday, I will book it for you at the hotel, you watch the game first on Saturday, and when we finish the game, I will ask everyone out for dinner."
"Alright, that's it."
Hung up the phone, Gege was still a little incredible, this is not like Lin Yi's style, he would actually give Shujing a line?
Seeing the confusion in Gege's eyes, Lin Yiyi hugged Gege, "It's inconvenient for me to go to you on Friday night, but I don't worry that you will stay in a hotel alone with a girl, and there will be multiple people, so I will be more relieved." ”
Lin Yi is indeed careful and considerate, not long after he first dated, he set himself up as the emergency contact person in Gege's mobile phone one day, and at the same time explained the code between the two people to Gege. If Gege encounters any danger, just call Lin Yi and say, "When are we going to go swimming?" Lin Yi would immediately know that Gege was in trouble. If you go back after dark, Lin Yi will definitely insist on sending Gege back. After dating Lin Yi, Gege really understood what the "sense of security" that girls often talk about, because Lin gave her a sense of security all the time, and never made Gege uneasy or worried.
Thinking of this, Gege didn't need to say anything, took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and offered a sweet kiss.
