Volume I, Chapter 29
Chen Chen and Yiting returned to the Adams Building, and as soon as Chen Yiting entered the dormitory building, he felt both fresh and curious. He stayed in a double room next door to Chenchen.
Chen Yiting opened the door with the key, and saw a skateboard standing in the corner of the door, a bed on the outside had been made, it was a cool dark blue sheet, and a handsome boy was standing on the bed, and he was sticking colorful posters on the wall, which were all familiar international sports stars.
As soon as Yi Ting entered the room, he greeted him: "Hi, I'm Robert, it's nice to meet you." ”
When the boy saw Yi Ting enter the house, he immediately put down what he was doing, jumped out of bed and walked towards Yi Ting in a very friendly manner, stretched out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Li En, from Germany, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Then, he shook Yi Ting's hand tightly.
Yi Ting could feel the thin calluses on those hands, as warm as his own hands, he smiled kindly and asked, "What kind of exercise do you do?" ”
When Li En heard this question, he immediately became interested, and a friendly smile immediately appeared on the narrow and angular cheeks characteristic of the Germans, and he said: "Rugby, football, basketball, boxing, rowing." What about you? ”
"Well, at the moment, I only play tennis." Yi Ting scratched his neck and said.
Yi Ting glanced up at the posters of sports stars on the wall, and although most of them could not be named, he recognized Novak Djokovic, the number one player in the ATP tennis world singles, and Wawrinka, who ranked third. He pointed to Djokovic's profile picture, and he asked Lee: "You like him too?" ”
"Of course, that's my idol!"
Yi Ting straightened his chest and said proudly: "He is also my idol." I met him once when I was playing in the junior ATP (Professional Tennis Championships) in London......"
"What? Have you played in the ATP? Have you even played in the ATP? Then your level must not be covered! Li En's eyes widened like two buns, and he immediately stood in awe of the boy in front of him.
When Yiting heard someone praise him, his face smiled crookedly.
Li En took Yi Ting's hand, as if he had seen an old friend who had been absent for a long time, and said, "I must go to watch you play if I have the chance!" ”
The more the two chatted, the more lively it became, and Lee pointed to a black sports star in a football team uniform on the poster and said, "I like Michael Oher." He's the best active tackle in the world. Do you like him too? ”
Yi Ting looked up at the poster, that sturdy black big brother was completely familiar! Rugby is not popular in China, and he doesn't know any of the stars, but Yi Ting didn't want to look so ignorant in front of Li En, so he echoed: "Oh, oh, he, who doesn't like him!" Sure enough, when Li En heard Yiting say this, he raised the corners of his mouth and nodded desperately, as if he felt that he and this roommate had a feeling of seeing each other late.
Noticing that the German guy was wearing a white hurdle vest with Cavaliers printed on it, Yiting immediately changed the topic and asked, "Are you a fan of the Cavaliers?" "He knows a little bit about basketball.
"yes, LeBron James has returned to the Cavaliers this summer, and I think the Cavaliers are going to win the championship this season."
Yi Ting patted Li En on the shoulder and said, "I like him too!" Everyone called him Emperor Zhan, and he deserved the title. ”
When Li En heard this, he was almost dancing with joy, he felt that the more he chatted with his roommate, the more speculative it became, so he simply opened a large box of potato chips, took out two bottles of Coke, put his arms around Yi Ting's neck, and sat on the bed and chatted. Obviously, they have already introduced each other as confidants.
The two of them talked and talked, but they didn't realize that they had been chatting for almost an hour, and Yi Ting was surprised to find that there was not much obstacle to communicating with Li En, could it be that his English level was not as scummy as he imagined?
Yi Ting and Li En chatted for a while, and then packed their respective luggage.
Despite the fact that Li En was as strong as Yi Ting, he packed up his things, but he showed the meticulous and rigorous style of the Germans, and half of the walk-in dressing room was neatly folded like tofu blocks.
This can't help but make Chen Yiting embarrassed, you know, whether he lived at home or in the dormitory of the training camp, his house was like a dog kennel, since his roommate is a tidy person, he also followed the customs of the locals and sorted out his belongings like Li En.
After the two had lunch together, Li En was called away by several senior boys from Europe, and Yi Ting first went to meet with his advisor and teacher, and then went to the dormitory next door to find Chenchen.
He knocked on the door of Chenchen's dormitory in a proper manner, and Chenchen shouted inside, "Please come in." ”
Yi Ting pushed open the door and went in, only to find that Chen Chen was alone in the room, and his roommate was not there.
Yiting saw at a glance that there was a map of China and a map of the world on the wall facing the single bed, Chen Yiting immediately laughed when he saw it, and said: "Jiang Ruichen, I didn't have enough geography class in junior high school, or what's wrong?" ”
"My dad brought it to me, saying that this is called cherishing the motherland and looking forward to the world." Chenchen said.
"Okay, buddy, you're really ambitious!" He sat on Chenchen's bed, patted the mattress with his hand and said, "Tut, the conditions of our school dormitory are very good!" There is also a refrigerator in the corridor, a small living room on each floor, and a laundry room, which is old and convenient. Don't look at the fact that I haven't been to any five-star hotels, but I thought, that's it. ”
Yiting's Northeast accent is quite heavy, and every sentence sounds like the taste of Northeast sketches on TV, Chenchen feels that Yiting is a little childish, and he can't help laughing.
"By the way, what about your roommate? What are the people? Yi Ting asked.
"An American guy with some family background, named Steven, seems to be quite keen on politics. His brother is also from our school, and he is going to the library now, and I heard that he seems to be joining a political club. What about your roommates? ”
"A German guy with two tigers, who also likes sports, what's it called? By the way, his name is Li En, his English is always slow, and there is no pressure for us to communicate at all. Yi Ting felt very happy when he mentioned his roommate.
"Interesting, when I filled out the dormitory roommate wish form, I thought it was a formality, but I didn't expect that the teachers in our school really spent some effort to find a matching roommate for each student." Chenchen said.
"By the way, I haven't used an Apple computer, can you teach me that when you have time...... MAC system? Yi Ting asked.
Chenchen picked up his phone, clicked on the calendar icon, and said while checking it: "Let me see my time schedule for the past few days......"
Yi Ting leaned in and read it out loud: "August 19, 2:00-3:30 p.m., visit the seniors to learn about the school, 4:00-5:30 study the resources on the school's student network platform, continue to read the "22 Catch-Ts" (pages 158-188) at 7:30-9:30 p.m., August 20, 9:00-11:30 a.m., participate in school team building ...... Wow, Jiang Ruichen, do you want to be so precise? ”
Chen Chen was a little embarrassed: "I'm a person with a plan, I've been used to making plans since I was a child...... he looked at the full schedule on the schedule again, and said: "...... Would you like to have lunch and visit the seniors with me, I have already made an appointment with them on WeChat. At 4:00 p.m., we went back to the dormitory to study the functions of Apple computers together, and then by the way, what interesting information and resources are available on the school's electronic platform. ”
Yiting felt that Chenchen was more mature, stable, and well-informed than himself, so he said, "Okay, you have the final say." ”
