Chapter 308: 'Trade-offs'
PS: Two more presents.
Hearing the girl describe herself as so miserable, Zhang Lisheng smiled noncommittally and said: "Senior sister, in short, I have nothing to do, just rest for a while, you go and get busy with yours." ”
"It's all fellow countrymen, your face is as white as wallpaper, how can I leave it alone," Guo Caiying hesitated, shook her head and said very righteously: "Why don't you go back to the dormitory with me to rest for a while, anyway, today is Saturday, and I was going to change the sheets." ”
"You have to change the sheets, so you're not afraid that I'll get dirty, right, that's really thank you," Zhang Lisheng paused for a moment and said with a wry smile: "But I really don't need to, I have a house in Silicon Valley, just wait for the school bus to come and rest there." ”
"Looking at your embarrassed and unkempt appearance, I really can't see that you are a 'high-quality stock' who can afford to eat Michelin in college and live in a high-priced house in Silicon Valley," Guo Caiying looked at the exercise watch on her wrist, calculated for a while, patted the back seat of the bicycle and said: "The school bus runs every half an hour on weekends, you have to wait at least twenty minutes, and Silicon Valley is not far away, come up, I'll take you there." ”
"No kidding, sister, I don't live in a science park in Silicon Valley..."
"I know, but I'm the record holder for women's triathlon at Stanford University, so it's okay to be far away," Guo Caiying smiled indifferently, "Come on, I'll take you there." ”
"Okay, senior sister, I'll wait for the school bus for a while..."
"You are a man, a manly husband, how do you do things twisted and twisted, so that I want to beg you," Guo Caiying frowned dissatisfied. "I don't care about a girl, everyone is a fellow countryman, it is right to help each other, get in the car. ”
Zhang Lisheng is not afraid that others will be malicious to him, but he is most afraid of people who are enthusiastic about helping and caring, especially when he tries not to look different on the college campus, looking at the wide-eyed girl, his mouth moved helplessly, sighed, and sat awkwardly in the back seat of the car. "Then thank you, senior sister. Go to Camat One. ”
"Kamat No. 1, this name is really weird..."The girl shook her black hair, opened the navigation software of her mobile phone, and entered the address that Zhang Lisheng said. I looked at it. Kick up the pedal and slowly accelerate along the flat campus avenue. "Your home is only twenty-one kilometers away from us, and it takes at least an hour to ride the bus backwards. Forty-five minutes for me to take you is enough. ”
"Twenty-one kilometers, forty-five minutes, are you kidding, senior sister, oh, hell..." Feeling that the speed of the bicycle gradually increased, and the shaking amplitude became larger and larger, Zhang Lisheng grabbed the back seat and said: "You, are you riding so fast?"
"The average speed of professional runners in road races can be more than 50 miles per 200 kilometers, and 20 kilometers in 45 minutes is a small meaning. ”
"But you're not a pro, and you're still in the back seat..."
"I just want to try to challenge the limit," Guo Caiying cheered loudly as she pedaled her bicycle vigorously in the bright sunlight hanging overhead, "Sit down junior, I'm going to continue to accelerate." ”
"I don't think you're trying to send me home to rest, but you're using me as a weight-carrying 'tool'. Hearing the girl's words, Zhang Lisheng whispered, but let go of the hand that grabbed the back seat of the car, for him, although the body was very uncomfortable, but after getting used to it, it was still a breeze to maintain balance on a speeding bicycle.
People's psychology is so strange, Guo Caiying has a warm and outgoing personality, but when the opposite sex uses her warm-hearted heart to get close to her, unless she is the kind of person who is excellent in all aspects and can make her feel good, she will suddenly have a disgust.
But when encountering Zhang Lisheng, a guy who is enthusiastic when he meets her and shows both politeness and respect, the girl will feel that this person is too introverted.
Just now, he was still worried about his unattractive appearance behind him, and he used the bumps of the bicycle to move his hands and feet, but now seeing him sitting in the back seat without saying a word, he seems to be grinning, Guo Caiying said: "Senior brother, have you never been in contact with a girl's 'Xueba'."
How can you sit on a girl's bicycle and make your body harder than a stone, aren't you dizzy and want to rest, I'm kind today, and I'll lend you a waist to hug you..."
"You don't have to send this kindness, senior sister," Zhang Lisheng immediately interrupted the girl's words when he heard it, and said: "I have practiced kung fu, and I can maintain my balance when I encounter turbulence on the plane, it doesn't matter." ”
"Kung Fu, you have practiced kung fu in your physical condition," Guo Caiying paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Can you tell me what you practiced, I just want to learn some fighting skills, and I will rule out the kung fu you practiced first." ”
"I practice Xingyi boxing, this kind of boxing attack is too strong, and it is really not suitable for girls to practice.
Senior sister, the weather is very cold, you ride so fast, if your mouth is always open, swallowing too much cold wind into your stomach is not good for your body, especially when you are exercising vigorously. ”
"It's okay, I'm in good health..."The girl shook her head, suddenly realized something, choked and said hatefully: "Junior brother, do you mean that you want me to shut up?" ”
"How can you be so talkative. Zhang Lisheng said with a noncommittal smile.
"Don't be a weird boy. Guo Caiying waved her fist without looking back, but there were a lot fewer words.
Without a word, the two made small talk and walked through the Stanford campus and onto the highway bike track.
After riding for a while in the shade of the trees, I finally came to an open luxury villa with no fence not far from the road, at the foot of the green hills, backed by the mighty lake.
It is said to be open, but in fact, the villa is entered from the mountain road, and in addition to stepping on two beautiful flower beds, you can only pass through a winding rough stone path.
At the beginning of the stone road, two beige rock planters composed of various miniature animal and plant statues and a large cluster of colorful flowers bloom seem to remind passers-by that the pointed French country house in the distance, which covers an area of at least thousands of square meters, is a private place for idlers not to trespass.
"Junior brother, this, this is your house. Although Guo Caiying's background is extremely extraordinary, when she sees this manor-style villa that is too far from her imagination, she is still very rarely dumbfounded.
"I guess so, after I bought it, I was forced to live in the school, and I never came. Obviously, he lived alone, but Maddie actually prepared a villa that seemed to be able to fit all the students of a department at Stanford for herself, which made Zhang Lisheng a little stunned.
However, thinking that when he didn't enroll, he felt that he might have to spend a long time in college, and all the harsh requirements he had put forward for the house, he smiled with relief, "Come in, senior sister, there should be a helper in such a big house, let's go and ask." Walking along the stone road into the villa.
At the end of the stone road, at the corner of the fountain in front of the villa gate, two middle-aged women wearing traditional black skirts and white bibs were chatting with the busy gardener.
"Young man, I'm looking for water to drink..."Seeing a young man and a woman walking with two students pushing a bicycle, one of the women immediately greeted enthusiastically, but she was only halfway through her words, and suddenly saw the face of the male student who had been seen in the photo all day, choked violently, and then couldn't help but exclaim: "God, you, are you Mr. Lisheng.zhang (Zhang Lisheng)?"
Yes, you must be, I remember that face very well, you're finally here, I, I'm going to call Steward Tonas..."
"I don't have to be so surprised that I'm finally here," Zhang Lisheng shrugged, "and you should be able to tell that what I need most now is not a tonas butler, but a hot bath and a comfortable bed." ”
"Yes, yes, sir, please follow me. The woman paused, nodded her head, and pushed open the door of the villa.
"Senior sister, I'm really uncomfortable, I really don't have the strength to greet you, you just treat this place as your own home, just visit casually..."
"It's okay junior brother, I sent you home to let you have a good rest, but don't you really need to see a doctor?"
"No, I do this a lot, it's good to take a break.
Madam, greet my guests well," Zhang Lisheng showed the demeanor of a big entrepreneur, and ordered another domestic servant by the fountain, waving his hand weakly at Guo Caiying, "Senior sister, I'm going to rest, if you have time, please stay here for dinner, thank you so much today." ”
"You're not so polite on the road. The girl said with a smile.
The young man smiled dumbly, did not say anything more, turned around with a pale face, followed the first maid, and walked to the master bedroom of the villa.
The master bedroom is close to the lakeshore, except for the huge bathroom and cloakroom, the area is still more than 100 square meters, but there are not many furniture inside, and the layout is simple and bright.
After entering the bedroom, Zhang Lisheng immediately locked the door, although the windows of Zhilu Road must be single-sided reflective bulletproof glass that can only be looked at from the inside, but he still cautiously pulled all the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows to death, this time stripping naked, driving Jiaolong to recover his long body and appear in front of him.
When everything was ready and about to break through, looking at the dragon species witch insect in front of him, the young man suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart, which was not due to cherishing the 'crocodile dragon', the 'weapon' of the 'witch' road to death, but the strong power it brought to him.
The practice of shamans seems strange and cruel, and it has nothing to do with cultivating the mind, but the difficulties of actually honing the mind are everywhere.
For example, after Zhang Lisheng transformed the dragon at this time, even if he broke through to the witch realm through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, the amount of power he gained increased was actually not as great as the loss after the witch worm disappeared.
If you calculate the addition and subtraction method purely according to the comprehensive combat effectiveness, it is simply a big discount, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that what he has improved is his own strength, and what he has broken is the help of foreign objects.
