Chapter 22: Zixuan is here
This Sunday morning, Ms. Chen will take the TOEFL test at a university in Shenyang. Her boyfriend, Zhu Zixuan, has booked two rooms in advance at the Shenyang Shimao Hilton Hotel near this test center, ready to accompany the test with peace of mind.
Hilton Shenyang Shimao was built on the original site of Shenyang Wulihe Stadium and has a strong cultural connotation. Wulihe Stadium was built in 1988 and has made countless achievements, the most important of which is that the Chinese national men's football team successfully qualified here on October 7, 2001, and entered the World Cup for the first time, thus making Shenyang and Wulihe the blessed land of Chinese football. In 2008, Shenyang became a sub-venue of the Olympic Games, and the hardware conditions of Wulihe Stadium no longer met the requirements of the Olympic Games, so it was demolished in February 2007 and moved south to Shenyang Hunnan to rebuild as the main stadium of "Shenyang Olympic Sports Center".
On Saturday morning, Zhu Zixuan rushed to Shenyang from Beijing, wearing a pair of black half-rim myopic glasses, a Tommy red, blue and white checked short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, a black and gray belt tucked into navy blue Tommy slacks, a black and gray Tommy backpack behind his back, and a pair of black ECCO casual leather shoes on his feet, and took Chen Jingping into the hotel. In the room, whether day or evening, looking out of the window, you can not only enjoy the high-rise buildings on both sides of Qingnian Street, the main traffic road of Shenyang, and the traffic on the street, overlooking the weaving of tourists and red flowers and green grass and clear water in the popular science park, but also enjoy the joy of children chasing football in the Shenyang Children's Football Park on the west side of the Shenyang Library. The Qianlong hunting picture in the hotel lobby, the ink silhouette of the Shenyang Forbidden City in the hotel room and the warm red palace wall all show people the former glory of the Shengjing Imperial City.
After placing their luggage and belongings in the hotel, the two walked into the school where the test center is located together, checked the test room in advance, and familiarized themselves with the location of the test room. Back at the hotel in the evening, Chen Jingping studied in the room, and Zhu Zixuan carefully checked the ID card and admission ticket for Chen Jingping in his room, put them into a transparent plastic document bag, and prepared a convenient bag separately for two breads and a box of chocolates.
On the day of the exam, Zhu Zixuan woke up early on his own, but he was still lying quietly in bed. At 6:15 a.m., the front desk wake-up call and alarm clock in his room rang at the same time. He turned off the alarm, picked up the phone and thanked the front desk, then took a deep breath, turned over and went to the ground, boiled a pot of boiling water, and poured half a cup of boiling water to dry. He poured all the remaining boiling water into the thermos cup, then cleaned himself up neatly, looked at the watch hands pointing to 6:45, he went out to the door of Chen Jingping's room, and knocked on the door a few times: "Pingping, it's time to get up." ”
"Get up right now, wait a minute." Zhu Zixuan waited for more than a minute before Chen Jingping kicked her slippers and squinted to open the door.
"Looks like you slept well last night, and you haven't fully woken up yet!" Zhu Zixuan smiled and reached out to put his arm around the sleepy-eyed Chen Jingping, and brought half a cup of warm water that had just been dried to her mouth with his right hand, "Come, drink some water first, sober up." ”
Chen Jingping drank the water with her eyes closed, hung her hands on Zhu Zixuan's neck, and sighed happily: "Hey, with you by my side, I don't have to worry about anything, I can sleep lazy, and there will be someone to serve me at the point, it's so good!" ”
"Of course, do you know? Well, the morning time is tight, don't rely on chirping anymore! You start washing up right now. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor, the breakfast is a buffet, I will go downstairs first to prepare the breakfast for you in advance, you can go downstairs directly after you clean up, and you can eat breakfast immediately downstairs. Also, don't forget to bring the document bag you will need for the exam. I'll help you bring the thermos flask and food bag down first, and you don't have to worry about these, you just take care of your document bag. ”
"Then we won't have to go upstairs for a while?"
"Yes, after breakfast, go straight to the exam room. You hurry up and clean up, I'll go downstairs first. ”
"Uh-huh." Chen Jingping glanced at Zhu Zixuan shyly with dreamy eyes, and then reluctantly turned around and walked to the bathroom to wash.
10 minutes later, Chen Jingping and Shi Ran came to the self-service hall. At this time, there are only a few customers in the restaurant. Chen Jingping came to Zhu Zixuan's table, and the two finished breakfast quietly. Zhu Zixuan took Chen Jingping's document bag again, and once again confirmed that the documents he brought were complete, and then he and Chen Jingping came out hand in hand. The two walked north along Qingnian Street for a short while, then turned into Wencui Road, entered Sanhao Street, and came to the university where the test center was located.
"Take it easy when you go in, answer well, your English has always been great, you must be fine. Come on! I'm waiting outside for your good news. ”
"Mm-hmm, I'll answer the question well! I'm in! ”
“Good Luck! Love you! ”
Zhu Zixuan watched Chen Jingping enter the examination room building with confidence, and he waited outside the building until the exam officially started at 8:30 before he walked back to Sanhao Street to hang out.
Sanhao Street is the distribution center of computers and other electronic products in Liaoshen and even the entire Northeast China, and is also the central business district of electronic information products and technology in northern China, and is one of the first ten "commercial streets with Chinese characteristics" in China. Zhu Zixuan successively came to Cyber Digital Plaza, Neusoft Computer City, Bainaohui and other buildings to appreciate and experience the latest electronic products curiously. He was amazed by the rapid development of technology!
Zhu Zixuan walked into a store to put a new film on Chen Jingping's mobile phone screen, and then walked to a store and saw an interactive bracelet, as long as you gently touch the sensor on any of the bracelets, the two bracelets will vibrate at the same time, and wearing it on the wrist can simulate the affectionate "touch" between lovers. Interesting, Zhu Zixuan thought, if he and Chen Jingping each wore a bracelet, wouldn't the two of them feel each other's deep "missing" from each other? can build an exclusive bridge between the two. Zhu Zixuan did not hesitate to buy a pure black and a pure white couple interactive bracelet, and asked the store to engrave "Ping" on the pure black bracelet and "Xuan" on the pure white bracelet. In this way, no matter where Chen Jingping is in the future, even if she goes abroad to study, as long as she wears this pure white bracelet engraved with his name, and he wears a pure black bracelet engraved with her name, the two can feel each other's thoughts at any time. Zhu Zixuan looked at the two bracelets that had been engraved in the store's packaging with satisfaction, and then put them into his backpack, and saw that the time was almost noon, and then walked back. At the school gate, Zhu Zixuan saw a cart selling flowers, bought a large bouquet of flowers, returned to the outside of the examination room, and waited for Chen Jingping to come out after the exam.
After Chen Jingping entered the examination room at 8:10 to sign in, she received the key to the storage cabinet, signed a confidentiality agreement, put the thermos cup and food in the rest area, brought her ID card to check in and take pictures, walked into the examination room to find her seat, checked the basic information displayed on the computer screen, and waited for the invigilator to come and enter the password to unlock and debug the equipment. After the teacher handed out three pieces of scratch paper and pencils, the exam officially began. During the intermission, Chen Jingping also ate the four pieces of chocolate and half a loaf of bread that Zhu Zixuan prepared for her, and drank the warm water from the thermos cup. After the exam, Chen Jingping recalled the exam process, feeling that she had answered the questions and spoken very well today, she came out of the building with a smile on her face, and saw Zhu Zixuan standing outside the building with flowers in her hands waiting for her.
Chen Jingping jumped out of the building step by step, and just happened to crash into the arms of Zhu Zixuan, who greeted her. I saw him turn the flowers sideways with his left hand, hold the small Chen Jingping with his right hand, bow his head and kiss her forehead, and then dedicate the big bouquet of flowers to his close lover, congratulating her on the successful end of the exam!
