Chapter 023: Strange Encounter, You Got into My Eyes
When you go to the United States as an exchange student, the monthly expenses are relatively large. Shi Xiaoyue only asked for some living expenses from her parents, and she decided to earn a year's tuition by working part-time for a year. As soon as her sophomore year began, Xiaoyue stepped on a flight to the United States. The school is located in the capital of Ohio, and after Xiaoyue went through the admission procedures, she began a new life.
With a different environment, Xiaoyue's mood has also improved a lot. No longer thinking about Ye Zihao, she believes that time will dilute everything. Because her spoken English is not very good, Xiaoyue has been making up for her weaknesses during this time. She also deliberately chose an American-owned café to work as a waitress, although the monthly salary is not high. However, Xiaoyue is still very content to earn money and have a place to practice spoken English.
The owner, Rorbet, is a middle-aged uncle who is very kind. However, the proprietress Joanne is a snarky person. She has to come to the café every day to make rounds, just like the overseer in ancient China, and the slightest slack in the staff will attract her cold eyes. So, the staff of this café is particularly mobile. Rorbet had no choice but to recruit some students who came to the United States to study.
On this day, after class, Xiaoyue came to the café as usual, and after washing the dishes, she stood in the hall waiting to serve the guests. Due to the rainy day, there were fewer customers at the café, and Joanne's face was even more ugly than the gloomy weather. Seeing that the café was about to close, a young man in a neat suit entered, looking about thirty years old, with a big back comb, and the appearance of a social elite.
Xiaoyue has been standing for three hours, due to insomnia last night. So, she's already a little sleepy. Joanne looked very unhappy when she saw Xiaoyue beating Hache repeatedly. Walked up behind her, kicked her heel, and hinted that she was going to serve the guests.
"Hello, sir! What do you need? Xiaoyue asked in broken English.
"Let's have a latte, thank you!" The gentleman said gentlemanly.
Maybe she was too tired, and when Xiaoyue was just about to present the latte, her foot suddenly slipped and she fell to the ground. The worst part was that the coffee spilled all over the man's body. Xiaoyue didn't care about the pain in her feet, and quickly got up with all her strength. Lian Sheng apologized to the man: "I'm sorry, I stained your clothes, you can take them off." I'll take it to the dry cleaners tomorrow and wash you. ”
Joanne saw that Xiaoyue had caused such a big disaster, and she was immediately furious. scolded in American slang, although Xiaoyue couldn't understand what it meant, Joanne's fierce and vicious appearance made Xiaoyue, who was studying in a foreign land, feel extremely wronged, and tears couldn't help but flow out.
Surprisingly, instead of blaming Xiaoyue, the man said that she was cute when she cried. "Today's single photo is bought, and you don't blame this waiter." The man turned to Joanne.
Seeing that the customer didn't pursue it, Joanne paid the bill, and returned to the bar with a softened attitude.
"Hello! Nice to meet you. Here's my business card with my phone number on it. If you have difficulties in the United States, you can come to me. The man handed the business card in both hands.
Shi Xiaoyue's face was still with tears just now, and her mood seemed to calm down a little at this time. She took the card and looked at it. Tian Yuzheng, executive director of the U.S. branch of Huatong Company. Xiaoyue admired Tian Yuzheng's generosity just now, "Hello! My name is Shi Xiaoyue! Xiaoyue politely stretched out a hand and shook it with him.
"It's not too early, why don't I send you." Looking at the petite and delicate Xiaoyue, Tian Yuzheng couldn't help but feel pity.
Xiaoyue originally wanted to decline politely, but when she looked at the clock, she unconsciously passed zero o'clock. She had already missed the last bus back to school, so she had to agree to the other party's offer. However, before Hetian Yu was leaving, she explained her whereabouts to her boss Robert. Xiaoyue kept an eye on it, because before she went to the United States, her father told a person not to go with a strange man easily.
Xiaoyue got into Tian Yuzheng's car, which is a limited edition Rolls-Royce, which looks luxurious and noble. It was the first time for Xiaoyue to sit in such a heroic car, but she didn't seem to have any special feelings, but she felt more comfortable than ordinary cars.
"What are you doing in the United States?"
"Hmm...... I came to the U.S. as an exchange student. ”
Along the way, there was little dialogue between the two. Xiaoyue looked a little shy, Tian Yu was occasionally asking, and she only responded with a simple "um" and "ah". The air is fresh on the night after the rain. Blowing the evening breeze, Xiaoyue's mood was a lot brighter, and she thought to herself that she had really met a noble person today. Next time I have a chance, invite Tian Yuzheng to dinner.
After half an hour's drive, Xiaoyue finally returned to school. Xiaoyue, who was already sleepy, said to Tian Yuzheng: "Thank you!" After that, run quickly in the direction of the dormitory.
It wasn't until Xiaoyue's back disappeared into the night that Tian Yuzheng drove away. This night, he had a different feeling in his heart. After so many years of love life, I have never felt like this. In the car, his mind kept reminiscing about the strange encounter between the two.
