Volume I, Chapter 10
Early this morning, the school's yellow school bus went to the airport to pick up a group of new students, and Wen Jin was among them. When she walked out of the school bus and stepped into the campus, she suddenly felt a burst of excitement in her heart, this is the famous American school she has worked so hard to come to - College A, and she is about to meet the great god sister who has encouraged and helped her countless times in her most difficult time.
Before leaving, she chatted with Sister Dashen on WeChat, and learned that Sister Dashen also had a flight to Boston today, but a few hours later than her. Xiao Jin decided to go to the dormitory first, take care of her own affairs, and just wait to meet her sister in the afternoon.
She took out her mobile phone, searched the school's wifi, and immediately sent a smiley face to "Rose in the Wind" with WeChat, and then wrote a sentence: "Sister, I'm at school, as soon as you arrive at school, send me WeChat, I'll go find you." ”
Chenchen and his mother first went to the dormitory management teacher, completed the accommodation procedures in advance, got their own key cards and keys, and then, the two of them carried four heavy large boxes to the Adams Hall (Adams Building, the name of the dormitory building) where Chenchen's dormitory was located.
Chenchen used his key card to open the heavy wooden door of this ancient three-story villa, and saw that the empty hall was covered with exquisite parquet wooden floors and decorated with ancient carved wooden wall skirts. In a circle of leather sofas, facing a white marble fireplace, and not far from the wall, there is an upright piano that looks old. Everything in the hall looks very elaborate, as if it were the mansion of an old nobleman in the New England region. Although the building is old, the interior has been modernly and intelligently renovated, with all kinds of facilities.
My mother couldn't help but sigh: "Your dormitory building is really beautiful, this is exactly the style that my mother likes." ”
"Mom, I'm not going to be the first person to live in the Adams Building this semester, and if I'm the only one living in this old building at night, I'll still feel a little scary." Chenchen said.
The mother disagreed with her son's words: "A boy is so timid. You don't want to think about it, your school is located in such a place where even the mobile phone signal is weak, who would be idle and drive here in the middle of the night to do evil? In addition, there are so many teachers living on campus all year round, so there is no need to worry about safety. ”
"I'm not worried about safety, this house has been around for 200 years, it's so big, so empty, it's too crazy to live alone. There won't be any supernatural events at night, right? ”
When her mother heard Chenchen's words, she couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, son, the classmates will move in one after another." After all, in the past two days, the school has arranged placement tests, and there are always many children in famous schools like yours who love to learn. ”
"I've heard that American children like a lot of things, but they don't like to study. How many of our ninth-grade parents will be like you who will force me to skip a grade in math and go to a senior class? Chenchen said.
Mother Zhengse said: "Chenchen, you are a child who has passed the baptism of the high school entrance examination in China, and you have also studied Olympiad mathematics for six years, and participated in national competitions on behalf of the city. ”
Chenchen nodded: "Well, in mathematics, I still have confidence." ”
While chatting with his mother, Chen Chen struggled to move the four huge boxes up to the second floor one by one.
Chenchen said to his mother a little distressed: "Mom, you must be tired of helping me carry so much luggage, right?" ”
The mother panted and said, "Good son, sensible, grown up, hearing you say this, my mother is very happy, and I don't feel tired." ”
Luo Yu had just walked to the front of the old Woodside Hall, took out the key card and was about to open the door, and through the wooden floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, she saw that next to the gray marble Roman columns in the hall of the dormitory building not far from her, a tall and sturdy boy was kissing a girl with blonde hair and a shawl. From the side face, you can see that the boy's face is well-defined and extremely handsome, the girl in his arms is almost facing away from Xiaoyou, wearing an A-line denim skirt with an open back, the figure is slender and beautiful, a pair of straight and well-proportioned long legs are very beautiful, and she can judge that she is a beauty from her figure. The two were immersed in sweetness, and they didn't seem to feel anything from the outside world. Seeing this scene, Luo Yuyou hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and his face flushed to his neck.
To go in or not to go in? When he was hesitating, the door card held by Luo Yuyou in his hand accidentally touched the electronic access control device, making a "click" sound, and the door lock opened in response. Yu You had no choice but to drag the heavy suitcase with one hand and push the heavy wooden door with difficulty with the other, the door was too heavy and only pushed open a narrow gap. When she was struggling with whether to continue to push hard, the girl found Luo Yuyou at the door at some point, she rushed to the door, opened the door for Yuyou, and said with an apologetic look on her face: "Oh, I'm sorry, didn't you wait outside for a long time, I'll help you with your luggage." ”
Luo Yuyou smiled awkwardly at the girl, said, "Thank you", lowered his head, dragged his luggage and walked briskly in the direction of the stairs.
When she came to the door of her dormitory in the east wing of the second floor of the building, she was surprised to find that the dormitory door was open, and there were two small red suitcases inside, one of which had a small cosmetic case of the same style on top of the suitcase. Luo Yuyou thought to herself: It can't be such a coincidence, could it be that girl in the same bedroom with me just now?
After a while, someone came into the room humming a song from the hallway, and it was the girl just now. As soon as the girl entered the room, she burst into a big smile at Luo Yuyou, her plump red lips and neat teeth as white as pearl shells, making her whole face look extremely vivid and bright, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her blue eyes were charming and playful. It was the first time Luo Yuyou had seen such a dazzling smile, with a hint of naughtiness and childishness in her sincerity, so warm that it seemed to melt away all the cold and haze.
With a happy face, the girl stretched out her white and slender palm to Yu You in front of her, and said, "My name is Lauren, and we are roommates!" ”
"Call me Cythia, it's a pleasure to meet you." Yu Yu responded politely, but did not shake Lauren's hand.
Lauren didn't care, withdrew his hand, and still asked with a smile, "Where are you from?" Let me guess, Thailand? Korea? ”
Yu You shook his head and said, "I'm from China. ”
Lauren was very excited and said, "Really? That's great! I just went to Shanghai during the summer vacation. I love Chinese food so much, it's even more beautifully made than French food, and the taste is even more amazing! ”
Without waiting for Yu You to speak, Lauren said again: "I'm the proctor of Woodside Building, and in the past two days, we have to have a meeting to discuss how to welcome new students, and we also have to plan how to enrich the activities of various residence halls in the new school year, so I will be at school today, but why are you here so early?" ”
Yu You's words are like gold, especially when he meets people who are not very familiar with him. She only said two words: "Placement test. (Placement test.) )”
Lauren tilted her head curiously and looked at Yu You, and said with a smile: "Haha, I know that all of you Chinese students are very good at learning, which course are you going to take the placement test?" ”
Yu Yu said, "Chemistry." ”
Lauren looked at Yu Yu in surprise and said in disbelief, "Oh God, chemistry is my biggest headache, and you are crying." ”
Yu You smiled slightly: "My father is a chemist, and when I was a child, he took me to the laboratory to do all kinds of experiments......"
Lauren said, "Oh, no wonder. As he spoke, he glanced at his phone and said, "Oh, I'm going to a meeting and I'll be back after lunch." If you have time, I'd love to take you to our library in the afternoon, which is one of my favorite buildings in our school. ”
Yu Yu said, "Okay, I also like to read. Yu You is right, after her parents divorced, her mother became more and more busy, and the time to accompany her became scarce, reading books became the best way for her to pass the time, she likes to hide in a world far from reality, and feel the joys and sorrows of the characters in the book.
