Professor Guderian was obviously prepared, he took out a copy of the regular university license registered with the U.S. Department of Education for his aunt who had not completely dispelled her suspicions, and took out a photo album to show Lu Mingze and his uncle, pointing to the photos and introducing them one by one, it looked like a medieval castle with a classical style and luxurious facilities, like a medieval castle that has been maintained and renovated from time to time with a lot of manpower and material resources.

Professor Guderian pointed to a photograph of a windsurfing board depicting the crest of the Kassel Academy dancing on the blue waves, and introduced that it was the college's annual windsurfing competition, and that they had surpassed the University of Chicago in various events for three consecutive years, implying that compared to the University of Chicago, which is already a first-class university in the United States, the Carcer College is even better.

It can be seen that Professor Guderian has worked hard to persuade them, and the effect can also be said to be immediate, Lu Mingfei can see that the expression on the face of his uncle and aunt relaxed, and he talked with Professor Guderian very happily, this scene is very wonderful, just like the uncle and aunt and this Professor Guderian hit it off, and quickly agreed to a marriage, and he Lu Mingfei is the yellow flower girl in the boudoir.

Lu Mingfei felt that he was really going to become an outsider if he remained silent, it was really strange, it was clear that the two sides were discussing his life's affairs, so he had to ask the question that had been hidden in his stomach since he got the reply letter from the Kassel Academy a few days ago: "That...... Professor Guderian, may I ask you...... What do you like about me? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the warm atmosphere at the dinner table froze.

Professor Guderian was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "If there is one reason, we value you as a person, and the admissions of the Kassel Academy look at the overall quality, and we don't care much about the transcript." ”

This sentence is obviously equivalent to saying nothing, Lu Mingfei complained in his heart and thanked you for taking time out of your busy schedule to perfunctory me, and asked: "I want to hear the real, all the reasons, we have a saying in China, called that there is no free lunch in the world, and the Kassel Academy has such a condition and offers such a large amount of scholarship...... It's unbelievable. ”

Professor Guderian scratched his gray eyebrows, finally realizing that he had to deal with this problem seriously, and the expression on his face became serious, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you all the reasons right now, but I can tell you something else." For example, your parents are honorary alumni of our college and have been of considerable help to our school's important research projects. Priority is given to the children of outstanding alumni, which has been a long-standing tradition at the Kassel Academy. Is this reason enough? ”

The four members of the family were stunned, Lu Mingfei had a strange feeling in his heart, he hadn't seen his parents in six years, although his mother sent two letters a year, but the content was just a repetition of taking care of his body and studying hard, he never asked Lu Mingfei how he was doing, and he didn't mention what they were doing abroad.

In addition to proving that his parents are still alive, such a letter cannot bring Lu Mingfei the slightest comfort, and even from the experience that Lu Mingfei has gained from reading "Yilin" and "Reader's Digest", it cannot even be used as effective evidence that his parents are still alive, so for so many years, Lu Mingfei's parents seem to have been in a wonderful and unobservable state, and now, from the mouth of Professor Guderian of the admissions office of the Kassel Academy, Lu Mingfei has once again gotten news about his parents.

Just like Schrödinger opened the box and could finally get a glimpse of the cat's true face, Lu Mingfei slowly asked with a hint of hope in his eyes: "Are they ...... now?" How's it going? ”

Professor Guderian shook his head: "I haven't met them, I heard that they have been busy with a very important research topic, so they have been doing research work in the jungles of South America for many years. But I have a picture of them, and a letter from your mother to the college about it. ”

He took out a photo from his arms and put it on the table in front of Lu Mingfei, it was a summer garden, in the distance was the library of the Kassel Academy that appeared in the previous album, and near was a corridor composed of countless vines, green and transparent, in the photo, a man and a woman walked hand in hand in the corridor, the man wore a loose white shirt and a pair of sprinkling pants, a pair of wooden slippers under his feet, and a pure white home cotton skirt for the woman.

Lu Mingfei stretched out his finger and gently touched the faces of the two people on the screen, it was his parents, even if he hadn't seen him for many years, he could still recognize it at a glance. Lu Mingfei had a strange feeling, the man and the woman seemed to exist in a parallel world that had nothing to do with him, as if they had never had any intersection with him Lu Mingfei. He suddenly felt a little sad, as if there was something, ethereal and wanted to grasp but couldn't grasp it, he could only look up, his heart was empty.

Professor Guderian took out the letter again, and it was very short, printed, perhaps an e-mail or something.

"Dear Principal Angers,

It's been a long time since I got in touch and hope your body is as good as ever.

We won't see each other for a long time, and we can't leave because of the intense research we have been doing lately, but please be sure to keep your bottle of Château Latour wine and wait for us to go back and taste it.

Our child Lu Mingfei is over 18 years old, he is a special child, he is also very smart, maybe his grades are not so good, but we all believe that he will make a difference academically, so if possible, please ask the Kassel Academy to help him in the matter of accepting him into the school.

I can't tell him personally, so I have to ask you to convey it on my behalf, saying that my father and mother love him.

Yours sincerely,

Giovanni"

Professor Guderian looked at Lu Mingfei and conveyed the words of Lu Mingfei's mother in the letter: "Mingfei, Mom and Dad love you. ”

This burly old man who is 1.9 meters tall performed with emotion, but after all, it was difficult to hide the sense of dislocation and funny, Lu Mingze couldn't help laughing first, and his uncle and aunt couldn't help laughing, and even Lu Mingfei smiled.

"I'll go to the bathroom." Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

Lu Mingfei was smiling all the way to the bathroom, and when he walked to the washstand, he suddenly seemed to have no strength, his arm supported the washstand, and he bent down, in the mirror in front of the table, Lu Mingfei was clearly still the same smiling face, as if he was bending over with laughter, trembling with laughter, and in this silent laughter, two lines of tears kept falling.

Lu Mingfei's mood is difficult to say whether he is happy or sad, but he really wants to cry and laugh, and his mixed emotions are rampant in his heart, which makes Lu Mingfei's good expression management lose control.

How strange, Lu Mingfei feels that he is used to the days without his parents by his side, he has not deliberately remembered how long his parents have left him for a long time, and he is not touched when he thinks about it occasionally, over the years, there is no trace of his parents in his life, and his life has gone on the same, but today, when he heard a sentence "Mom and Dad love you" relayed by others, he couldn't speak anymore all of a sudden, he just wanted to laugh and cry, It was as if the child who was abandoned by his parents six years ago had finally come back to life in him.

Lu Mingfei laughed and cried, while turning on the faucet to wash his hands and face, he washed carefully and hard, as if he was venting something.

A pair of purple jogging shoes suddenly appeared next to him.

Lu Mingfei ignored it, he didn't have time to deal with everything in the outside world now.

The shoes didn't move, Lu Mingfei's mood gradually calmed down, he picked up the disposable towel in front of the stage, wiped the water stains on his hands and face, and then turned his head to look at the owner of the shoes, and said, "I'm sorry, it didn't hinder you, right?" ”

While apologizing, Lu Mingfei saw clearly that there was a girl standing next to him, from bottom to top was a pair of jogging shoes, a pair of close-fitting jeans, a small white vest, a short shirt with blue vertical stripes, and a baseball cap on her head.

In front of her, she was just a tall and bright girl, she looked at Lu Mingfei like this, the sterling silver four-leaf clover pendant on her earlobe was shaking, and the light of the broken diamonds embedded in it was dazzling.

"Hello." The girl said to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei returned to the breakfast table, the whole person seemed very calm, and the beautiful tall girl followed behind him, and there was no expression on her face.

The girl walked over and sat down next to Professor Guderian, where there was a breakfast that had been prepared long ago.

"Let me introduce you, this is our student at the Kassel Academy, Chen Motong, who is of Chinese descent, and this time he accompanied me to China as a volunteer." Professor Guderian said, "Nono, this is the family of our new classmate Lu Mingfei, why did you come so late?" ”

"Nono?" When Lu Mingfei heard this name, he tilted his head.

"I ate a food stall last night, my stomach is not very comfortable, and I have been in the bathroom just now." The girl named Chen Motong took off her baseball cap and let off her long hair, her crimson hair color was very eye-catching, at least Lu Mingfei's gaze was attracted.

"Why don't you ask me to go with you?" Professor Guderian looked regretful.

"Professor, Norma said that your weight loss treatment is not over yet, and you can only eat two meals a day." Chen Motong didn't have much respect for Professor Guderian in his words, and said in a tone like a casual chatter, "You better eat quickly, there will only be one meal left today after eating this meal." ”

Hearing this, Professor Guderian hung his head a little frustratedly, sighed, and silently ate the last salmon roll on the plate.

It was the first time Lu Mingfei had met a girl with a strong aura like Chen Motong, unlike other beautiful girls, she did not give people a radiant feeling, nor was she a restrained and quiet type, but her every move naturally became the focus of the crowd, the moment she appeared, the happy atmosphere at the dinner table was gone, and everyone seemed to be included in her aura.

She is so fearless, as if everything is taken for granted for her, when her eyes are on you, you will feel that everything in yourself is hidden in front of these eyes, as if there is no you in those eyes, she is looking at something more essential.

"Do you mind if I eat your share?" Chen Motong suddenly said to Lu Mingfei.

Chen Motong finished eating the silver cod on his plate, and asked Lu Mingfei for the portion that had not yet moved.

Lu Mingfei was speechless, he didn't know how to refuse this girl, so he simply agreed, and he didn't have much appetite.

"Nono, be polite, we're not in the academy's cafeteria." Professor Guderian criticized.

"It's okay, you see that he doesn't keep his mind, and most of them don't have much appetite." Chen Mo's pupils didn't raise his head.

This sentence alerted Professor Guderian, he stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes, and asked, "Mingfei, do you still have any concerns?" Let's find a way to solve it, the admission opportunity at the Kassel Academy is very rare, and I personally advise you not to give up easily. ”

Lu Mingfei avoided Professor Guderian's gaze: "I...... You may also need to think about it. ”

The expressions on the faces of uncles, aunts and Lu Mingze became strange. Professor Guderian was very well prepared, and the materials he brought had been checked by his aunt over and over again, and they were stamped with the seal of the U.S. Department of Education, and his uncle saw in the photos a number of American dignitaries who often appeared on TV, smiling and talking to students and teachers in dark green uniforms, each of whom had the "World Tree" emblem of the Kassel Academy on their chests, and the scholarship plan that Professor Guderian took out was signed by the American Health Research Association (NIH) and Citibank. The NIH sent the scholarship to Citibank, which guaranteed a monthly cash check to the scholarship recipient, "Mingfei Lu," as well as Professor Guderian's own tenure at Harvard University and his appointment as a trustee of the American Paleontological Research Association.

Professor Guderian showed full sincerity, and he was very satisfied with his uncle and aunt in all aspects, including details, and definitely exceeded expectations, and even a little jealous of how such a good thing did not fall on his own Naruzawa.

But in the face of such a unique opportunity, Lu Mingfei "still needs to think about it".

No one could figure out what kind of reason Lu Mingfei had behind this sentence, especially Professor Guderian, who asked with an unnatural face: "Is there anything you are not satisfied with the conditions of the Kassel Academy?" ”

"No, I am more satisfied with the conditions offered by your school than expected," Lu Mingfei waved his hand again and again, not wanting the silver-haired old man in front of him to have any misunderstanding, "It's better to say that I feel very honored to be favored by Kassel Academy, but I personally have some other problems, which are not enough for outsiders, please give me some time to think about it." ”

These words don't seem to come out of Lu Mingfei's mouth, and the degree of decency is no less than the level of Lu Mingfei when he spoke on behalf of the literary club in the class.

As soon as the words came out of the bathroom and typed all the way to the draft, the table was quiet for a while, and Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone had temporarily fallen to the ground.

At this point, Professor Guderian couldn't persuade anymore, so he had to nod and say, "In that case, I hope you make the right decision." ”
