SM City is a small city in the United States with a small population and a small footprint. When Wang Lin and Xia Jian arrived, it was just getting dark.

After more than a day, Xia Jian felt that his own jet lag was reversed. There is no more night and day.

Wang Lin does things, Xia Jian never has to ask, because what she has done is a reassurance. Wang Lin first registered the hotel for the two of them, then parked the car, and found a restaurant owned by Chinese, and then called Alice and Ruth. As soon as the two of them heard that Wang Lin and Xia Jian were coming to SM City, she scolded on the phone.

After Wang Lin hung up the phone, Xia Jian asked with a smile, "The two of them live together?" “

"That's right! One person rents a house, and two people share the rent equally, so it will be much cheaper" Xia Jian said, smiling at Xia Jian. Xia Jian was a little confused, the last time Alice and Ruth came to China, they heard that they mixed well, why are they still renting a house now?

Wang Lin saw Xia Jian's incomprehension, she smiled and said, "Everything is changing, and everyone's life is the same. Ruth and Alice used to have good jobs, and they both had a company at the time, but later, something happened to this company, and they were laid off in a big way, and they were laid off together."

"They were both laid off together, why is that?" Xia Jian still didn't understand it.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Just because both of them are Chinese." In the United States, the protection of the interests of its own people is always the first priority, no matter how capable you are, as long as you are not a United States, you will not hesitate to be punished."

When Xia Jian heard this, he was speechless. It seems that Ruth and Alice don't mix well now, first of all, the two of them rent a house together, and the city they are in is not as famous as the city where they used to work.

The restaurant owner was very happy when she saw that * people had come. The boss is a woman in Northeast China in her forties, with a very bold personality. She smiled and said, "It's so nice to meet us locals here."

"Aren't there a lot of Chinese who come to eat here?" Wang Lin asked.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Maybe it's because our restaurant just opened!" In short, there are really not many Chinese who come, but I heard from friends that there are not many Chinese working in SM City."

"Oh! It's no wonder that it's newly opened, I'll introduce you to two guests later, and let them promote it for you, and business will definitely improve," Wang Lin said with a smile.

When the female boss heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. She smiled and said, "That's great, you can order whatever you want today, and I'll give you a discount after eating."

While a few people were talking and laughing, Wang Lin's phone rang again, she took it out and took a look, and walked out with a smile while answering the phone. Xia Jian understood that it was Alice and Ruth who came.

Xia Jian sat a little reserved and didn't move. Suddenly, the door of the restaurant opened, and Alice, with her curly hair, laughed and pounced. hugged Xia Jian tightly and said, "I miss you"

Xia Jian didn't dare to say anything, but just patted Alice twice on the back. Ruth and Wang Lin walked in together, although she was not as crazy as Alice, she still greeted her and gave Xia Jian a deep hug.

"Hey! Why did you come to the United States? It can't be too much of Miss Lin! Elili asked with a smile.

Xia Jian laughed and said: "You're right, it's inconvenient for me to think about Wang Lin, and I miss you two very much, so I came to the United States" Xia Jian's laughter was very loud and very infectious.

When several young people from the rice country who were eating saw Xia Jian's appearance, they all looked over in unison. Wang Lin put her finger to her mouth, whispered: "Shhhh

"With Xia Jian, what do you care about them? If it's too noisy, I'll go somewhere else to eat, but it's a Chinese restaurant," Alice said with a smile.

Wang Lin's face changed as she pretended to be angry and said, "Hey! How can you talk like that? Can't get used to him too much, let him understand, some of the rules here, understand? ”

"I don't understand. Or let's drink in a big bowl and speak loudly," Alice deliberately had an awkward quarrel with Wang Lin. Seeing Xia Jianzhi, he wanted to laugh.

Then the proprietress came and said, "I can see that you are good friends, and if you are good friends, you have to have two drinks." So be it! I have a VIP room upstairs, it belongs to you tonight, no matter how you play, the following will not be affected in any way"

"Boss! Thank you so much," Alice said, and the man was already on her feet.

Wang Lin pretended to be angry and glanced at Alice and said, "Don't say thank you verbally, you have to bring guests here." This new restaurant, many people don't know about it."

"I'll leave this to me, I'll give you a word tomorrow, and I promise it won't be long before your business here is booming," Alice said with a laugh.

When the proprietress heard this, she was happy. I personally took Xia Jian and them upstairs. It is a room next to the master bedroom. The decoration of the room is very exquisite, and it is full of some elements of the ancient Chinese style.

"Have fun, this room is soundproofed, and you can hardly hear anything outside. And what kind of wine do you drink, we have Chinese liquor here," the proprietress said a little smugly.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Alice hurriedly said: "Serve two bottles of liquor, finish a few dishes of the most distinctive Chinese dishes in your store, and hurry up."

The female boss answered and left. Wang Lin glared at Alice and said, "You're crazy!" You don't have to go to work tomorrow? Two bottles of liquor? ”

"I can't finish drinking, can't I take it back and drink it?" Elle Line doesn't look like she cares. This woman is also very beautiful, but her character is too heroic, it can be said that she has no mouth to hide, fortunately, Xia Jian and her are already old acquaintances, otherwise it will really make Xia Jian a little embarrassed.

Ruth was much calmer, she didn't talk much, but she had a smile on her face all the time, which made people feel very comfortable. The dish was served quickly.

Three women and one man, everyone drank and ate. But I haven't eaten Chinese food for a long time, and the three women are full of praise anyway. But Xia Jian is different, he feels that many dishes here have changed their tastes, making him very unappetizing.

But in order not to spoil everyone's interest, Xia Jian also followed the three women to eat meat and drink wine.

Two bottles of liquor, if it is for four men, is not much at all, but the situation is a little different for three women.

When the second bottle of baijiu was almost finished, Alice spoke a little more sharply, and she even showed a sentence in English, probably because she had not spoken Chinese for a long time, and some words could not be remembered.

"Lynn! We're good friends! Alice was drunk, and suddenly grabbed Wang Lin's hand and asked.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "You crazy person, you can say whatever you want!" Don't give me any more detours."

Alice glanced at Xia Jian, then lowered her voice and said to Wang Lin: "Xia Jian I like it too, how about you lend me one night?" Good friends should share blessings and difficulties."

Wang Lin glanced at Xia Jian, and suddenly laughed and said, "You crazy woman, if it weren't for the fact that you were drunk, I would have slapped you in the mouth, and this kind of thing could have been said." Although you are in the United States, don't forget that you are still Chinese."

Wang Lin's voice was a little high, obviously a little angry. Ruth looked at it and hurriedly persuaded Wang Lin: "You don't know about her, she just drank some wine and talked nonsense in her mouth, don't worry about it."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth," Alice said, laughing out loud. After she laughed, two lines of tears flowed involuntarily.

Xia Jian did not speak, and he deeply realized that not all of these Chinese who worked hard in the United States were wonderful, in fact, many of them still lived quite hard.

Seeing Alice drink like this, it didn't make much sense for everyone to sit down again. Xia Jian didn't speak, but walked over directly and put Alice, who was lying on the table and was a little asleep, on his shoulder.

But Alice was so drunk that she couldn't stand up. Xia Jian glanced at Wang Lin and said, "I'll still carry her on my back!" You two follow behind" Wang Lin nodded and helped Xia Jian carry Alice on her back.

When the four of them went downstairs, the Mi people in the restaurant on the first floor stretched their necks to look. The female boss hurriedly explained in English: "It's okay, she's just drunk"

Wang Lin drove the somewhat dilapidated car over. As soon as Ruth opened the car door, Xia Jian put Alice in, this drunk person, his back was really heavy.

Wang Lin drove the car, and under the guidance of Ruth, sent Alice to the apartment they rented. To put it bluntly, it is a house with one hall and two bedrooms. After all, it's a woman, and the living room is still quite clean.

But when Xia Jian walked into her room with Alice on his back, he was taken aback by the scene inside. This glamorous-looking woman, but she didn't expect her life to be a mess.

On the floor, her shoes of different heights and even socks were littered one by one. The clothes on the bed were also a mess. From the coat, to the underwear, and her hood.

Xia Jian carried Alice on his back and didn't know where to put her for a while. Then Wang Lin, who followed up, shook her head helplessly and said, "You put her on the sofa first, and I'll help her clean up the house before you carry it in."

Xia Jian had no choice but to put Alice back on the sofa on her back. While cleaning up Alice's room, Wang Lin asked Ruth, "What's going on?" Can you explain it to me?

"She's been talking to me for a week or two, and if you hadn't called me today and asked me to listen together, we might not have talked much until now," Alice said with an aggrieved expression.

Wang Lin couldn't help but be furious, she asked sharply, "Why is this?" Have you forgotten that we are all good friends and that we are all Chinese? “
