As a staunch Bolshevik, Qi Min had no affection for the United States, the largest bastion of capitalism, but most of the time fate did not leave people with a choice.

But after arriving at the small place where her doctoral school was located, Qi Min actually felt quite adaptable. The boss can't talk about PUSH, and the colleagues around him are also very Buddhist, and they get off work every day, and then they can go out with their friends for a wave or something. Qi Min's first friend here was Yelena, a Russian girl from the same class as her, who first heard that her family still had a little money, but then she learned that Yelena's family could also be called a small oligarch.

I ALWAYS FELT THAT MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE OLIGARCH'S DAUGHTER RISKED BEING SHOT, BUT ELENA WAS A STAUNCH MARXIST-LENINIST COMPARED TO THE LEGENDARY BOURGEOISIE - THEY ALL SAID THAT THERE WAS NO CLASS THAT BETRAYED INTERESTS, BUT ONLY INDIVIDUALS WHO BETRAYED THE CLASS, AND THIS WAS PROBABLY THE CASE. BUT ELENA IS NOT SO IN LINE WITH THE STEREOTYPE OF THE BOLSHEVIKS IN THE SOVIET, SHE WENT TO THE UNITED STATES TO STUDY FOR A DOCTORATE OUT OF A HOBBY, NOT TO PLOT AGAINST ANYONE, PLUS SHE STILL HAS TWO DOLLARS IN HER HAND, AND SHE HAS JUST ARRIVED IN THE PLACE WITHOUT LEARNING ANYTHING ELSE, SO SHE LEARNED TO WAVE WITH THE LOCAL YOUNG PEOPLE.

Even took Qi Min for half a year, and then Yelena found a girlfriend - a German undergraduate, a very artistic girl - in order to avoid suspicion, she deliberately kept her distance from Yelena after work.

Actually, Yelena is quite ...... How to say it, she still has a boyfriend in China, which is equivalent to being recognized by her family. But according to Yelena, she didn't want to cheat, she just wanted to talk to a girl, and it was not good to engage in homosexual criticism in Russia, so she definitely got to come abroad. Qi Min didn't comment on this, the world of rich people is not something she can understand.

And as far as Qi Min's economic situation is concerned, she is indeed not too embarrassed to go out and let Yelena pay. But in fact, she lives in a cheap rental house on the edge of the slum, and even buys a gun with an old 54 type - basically equivalent to only one freight, because the gun is not worth dozens of dollars in the first place.

At night, there are strange sounds coming from the slums, just across the street. Qi Min was a little scared when he first arrived, but he got used to it within a month. Anyway, she hung a gun when she went out at night, and at such a close distance, even if she only got a B in her shooting class when she was an undergraduate, it would be easy to break an arm with one shot.

Yelena often said that the Yankees just can't get used to it. It's just that she means that she can't get used to it in terms of socializing, and for Qi Min, she has to deter the people around her on the violent level.

And this day, for Qi Min, who often wears sunglasses and carries a gun to go shopping at night, it is just an ordinary day.

She grabbed a sandwich and a pack of potato chips from the convenience store on the edge of the slum, and was standing in front of the shelf thinking about what carbonated drink to drink today, when she suddenly heard someone arguing in the middle of the shelf near the door.

LISTENING TO THE ACCENTS WERE ALL LOCALS, PROBABLY JUST WALKING AND TOUCHING SUCH A TRIVIAL THING, BUT AFTER SCOLDING, SHE HEARD THE PHRASE "CHINGCHONG", SO SHE LOOKED UP AND SAW THAT IT WAS A SLOPPY YOUNG WHITE MAN TUGGING AT THE COLLAR OF A MAN WEARING A HELMET.

FROM QI MIN'S POINT OF VIEW, I CAN'T TELL WHICH ETHNICITY THE HELMET IS WEARING, BUT THE PERSON WHO WAS SCOLDED BY THE RED NECK FOR "CHINGCHONG" IS ALSO Asian. Qi Min thought to himself, since he is Asian, he has to help him. In the eyes of the red neck, there is no distinction between China, Japan and South Korea, so Asians should also be united.

So she walked over and took out the N-hand 54 from her pocket, and coldly pressed it against the back of the little foreign devil.

The little foreign devil seemed to be stunned suddenly, and turned back with some fear. Qi Min saw the helmet-wearing brother on the other side, who was also holding a dagger with a blade length of at least twenty centimeters.

Oh, it doesn't seem to be the case that Asians are bullied.

"You know what kind of place this is, and you don't know how to die when you're making trouble here." Qi Min said to the little foreign devil who stirred up trouble. Just love

Her accent was Chinese plastic English, but at this time, the foreign devil didn't dare to say anything, just smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know ...... before"

"Get out of here." The helmeted brother put the dagger back into the inner pocket of his jacket and said indifferently.

The little foreign devil who felt that Asians were easy to bully but encountered hard stubble hurriedly rolled away, Qi Min put the gun back in his pocket and asked the helmet-wearing brother in Chinese: "Chinese? ”

"Ah...... It's Chinese. The helmet brother nodded, but the Chinese accent was a bit strange, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Qi Min smiled and joked casually, "I didn't expect you to use a gun here, but a controlled knife." ”

Through the mask of the helmet, Qi Min vaguely saw that the other party smiled a little awkwardly. He seemed to hesitate for two seconds, then switched back to his native accent and said, "Don't stay here, that kid might find someone." ”

He carried the bag in his hand - at this time Qi Min noticed that he was holding the bag in his left hand - walked to the counter and handed the bag to the owner of the convenience store, and after taking the money, he was about to go out, and when he saw Qi Min still standing there, he had to say in English again: "Let's go!" That kid is likely to bring someone here. ”

Qi Min probably understood that the little foreign devil should know this brother wearing a helmet. So she's in the slums gang fighting? It's rare for Asians to join gangs, let alone the self-proclaimed "Chinese," and although claiming to be Chinese in the English context can also represent ethnicity, saying "Chinese" in Chinese is usually considered to represent nationality, or at least cultural identity.

But in any case, she was not interested in participating in the street brawls in the slums, Qi Min was still very obedient to persuasion, and immediately settled the bill and left the convenience store.

When she checked out, the convenience store owner, who already knew her, instructed, "It's too late, let's go home quickly." ”

It can be seen that it is also unsafe for locals at night. When Qi Min walked out of the convenience store, he saw the brother wearing a helmet still standing next to a motorcycle, as if waiting for her.

"Get out of here, this Yankee is very vindictive." He said to Qi Min in a local accent of English—the accent was a little subtly out of place with the content, "Where are you going?" I'll send you there? ”

However, Qi Min didn't care very much, Yelena also knew a few local dangerous elements here, and knew that the real gangs here were Latinos, like just from the kind of pure white people, who should just be unemployed young people in mixed society.

But some compatriots cared, and Qi Min still replied in English very politely: "I'll go home." I don't live in the slums, it's quiet. ”

"Then why did you go to the slums to buy something?" The brother in the helmet was a little surprised, "Even if there is a gun...... Well, it's almost enough to have a gun. ”
