Volume I, Chapter 25

At this time, a senior senior came up to him and introduced himself as Антон Власьевич Кузнецов (Anton Vlasievich Kuznetsov), and Chenchen guessed that he might be a Russian. Anton led Chenchen and Yiting through the hall and towards another office.

Walking all the way, Chenchen accidentally saw a red-haired boy and a mixed-race girl sitting opposite each other in a purple velvet sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, in front of them was a delicate and small French-style carved wooden round table, on which was placed a black and white chess board.

The boy looked like a senior in the upper class, with a tall stature, a straight back, a handsome face, and deep eyes; The girl has long hair and a shawl, with baby-white and almost transparent skin, a pair of large, cold eyes, thick eyelashes, and a slightly raised jaw, and the contour is perfect to the extreme. Sunlight shines obliquely through the glass windows, and the two people playing opposite each other are bathed in the morning sun, frozen in the eighteenth-century oil paintings on the walls of the hall.

Chenchen was surprised to find that the girl was the one who had been glimpsed on the campus yesterday. For some reason, when he suddenly saw her again, Chenchen's heart skipped a beat, and his footsteps stopped unconsciously, and it was difficult to take his eyes off the girl no matter what.

In Chenchen's consciousness, the noisy rotunda instantly fell silent, and the crowd of people coming and going was all pulled out, leaving only the girl staring at the chess game without distraction, and even the red-haired boy opposite the girl disappeared, and I don't know when, it became himself who sat in the sun and played against the girl.

There was a crisp "click" sound, pulling Chenchen back from his own world. He saw that the girl was using her white fingers to move the black horse to a nearby lattice, and the boy thought for a moment, and drove his chariot steadily. As an outsider who knew little about chess, Chenchen inexplicably felt the murderous aura of the fierce battle faintly coming, however, the two people in the chess game showed extreme calmness. Chenchen thought, maybe this is what he doesn't quite understand, the elegance of the old-school aristocrats in New England.

Chenchen didn't seem to pay special attention to any girl before, but as soon as this girl appeared, with an indescribable beauty and nobility, she instantly fixed the definition of the perfect girl in his mind.

At this time, Senior Anton, who was walking in front, saw Chenchen suddenly stop and looked blankly at the direction of the window, so he called him softly: "Hey, Charlie, I'm afraid we have to hurry up and get the computer, and I will go to the International Student Union for a meeting in a while." ”

Chen Chen came back to his senses and followed the senior into the office with Chen Yiting.

It was a big room, and the floor was piled with white Apple boxes. Jiang Ruichen and Chen Yiting signed the form handed over by the teachers and went to get their computers.

Senior Anton said: "This 13-inch MACBook Air is a must-have item for you to go to school every day. The school stipulates that during class, you are not allowed to bring your own computer, and you must use the computer that the school has configured for students. I suggest that if you ask the subject teacher for advice after class, it is best to bring this computer with you as well. Our school's IT engineers have installed the necessary software such as Adobe and Microsoft Office on the computer in advance, and there are shortcut icons of our school's student platform on the desktop, which is very convenient to use. The only drawback of this computer is that it does not have a lot of memory, which is enough for school and study, so don't think about playing games. ”

When Chen Yiting took over the heavy computer box from his senior, his eyes lit up, his expression was unusually excited, and he almost cheered, and let out a strange cry of "wow-wow-" from his mouth.

Chen Chen understood this strange cry as an exclamation, and secretly wondered in his heart, what is there to make a fuss about.

Yi Ting couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, took out a brand-new Apple laptop from the box, stroked the thin streamlined brushed silver computer shell, and said excitedly: "I have long wanted Apple computers, but Dad always refuses to buy them, haha, I didn't expect the school to even send this, it's too a bunker (that is, "too good", "too great"). I need to take a picture and send it to my mom and dad. As he spoke, he held up the silver computer, took out a worn-out mobile phone of unknown brand, and snapped it wildly.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, campus cards, door keys, electronic student cards, ...... Qi Qi fell from the pocket of Yiting's clothes and fell to the ground. Senior Anton was startled and involuntarily took half a step back.

I saw that on the smooth marble floor, in the middle of a pile of messy things, there was a boxy, business card-sized, rough texture of a small wooden sign, hanging a red silk thread on the wooden card, and also permed with four eye-catching golden characters of "forever safe".

Chenchen silently bowed his head to help Yi Ting pick up the other things that had fallen and put them in the newly issued schoolbag with the school's emblem pattern.

Senior Anton leaned down and stared at the rough little wooden sign for a long time, completely unable to understand what this was a novelty, and asked Yiting: "What is this?" ”

With the word "embarrassed" in capital letters on his face, Yi Ting squatted down and picked up the wooden sign on the ground, blew the non-existent dust on it with his mouth, and was about to carefully put it back in his pocket.

Chenchen looked at Anton, who was full of doubts, and explained to him seriously: "This is our lucky charm, and it is a tradition for Chinese to wear lucky charms." ”

Anton nodded in a sudden understanding, reverently made a Buddhist namaste gesture with his hand, drew a cross on his chest, and then, very seriously, said to the court: "I hope that the lucky charm will bring you good luck." ”
