Chapter 54: Final Fantasy
Lao Wang has been obsessed with the Final Fantasy series recently. He bought a lot of pirated CDs and studied in the rental house while he was free. Even Xiao Hei was infected by him and could watch it motionless for several hours.
After returning home and having dinner, Zi Yang turned on the computer and found that the QQ was flashing constantly. Dozens of classmates were "blessing him" and envious of his great blessings.
After Zi Yang asked, he found out that Su Rui was an exchange student at Princeton University, who just came to the United States this year. His father was an internationally renowned scholar and professor.
The tiger father has no dog daughter. This woman is one year younger than Zi Yang. When Zi Yang was in her freshman year, she had already obtained a degree in physics. This time she exchanged it for the archaeology department of their school. The school seemed to have picked up a treasure, hoping to use it to establish a relationship with Princeton University and Professor Su to raise the academic level and international reputation of the school to a new level.
This incident has become the headline news of the school opening this year. It has been circulating on campus since the summer vacation. Zi Yang has been basically "taking risks" this summer vacation, so the information was not followed up in time.
According to the testimony of the classmates, this Miss Su Rui was cheerful and generous, and she was not particular about the details. Whether she was a loser or a tall, rich and handsome man, she was polite and chatting and laughing. She soon became the newly-listed goddess on campus. According to unofficial statistics, boys in 18 dormitories vowed not to marry her.
Zi Yang smiled and said, "These classmates are not inferior to the paparazzi. They can tell Su Rui's origin so clearly so well."
Lao Wang felt a little sad after reading it, "I thought I would get the moon first when I approached the water, but I didn't expect the competition to be so fierce."
Zi Yang said, "You should go to the ground boldly, brother supports you!"
Lao Wang said, "Since that's the case, then you're welcome to be a brother. This girl belongs to me. From now on, you can only see from afar and not play with her."
After saying that, he looked at Zi Yang vigilantly: "Is there any conspiracy to be so generous? Don't you have the idea of hitting my future wife!"
Zi Yang laughed, "He is an exchange student from the United States, with countless followers. Will he like you?"
Lao Wang thought for a while and said, "Maybe she admires my talent?"
Zi Yang looked at the room seriously: "Well, it's time to buy someone a mirror."
Lao Wang let out a cry and showed his grasping hand and rushed towards Zi Yang.
It was Monday in a blink of an eye. Lao Wang did not go back as planned, but insisted on staying to attend Zi Yang's dinner, saying that he had arranged it for his classmates and had all the names and names.
Last time, Lao Wang and Zi Yang went to Shaanxi to express condolences. After he came back, he specifically told Teacher Li (of course, he skipped the things about Uncle Li), which moved Teacher Li so much that he almost became sworn brothers with him on the spot.
Because there are people on the "top", Lao Wang is becoming more and more arrogant. Every time he misses classes, he will greet Teacher Li: I plan to do some charity these days... I made an appointment with my friend to go to the nursing home... I helped the old lady cross the road and was late...
With Teacher Li wiped his butt, Lao Wang's lesson was perfect and he had no worries.
Zi Yang couldn't resist him, so he had to take him to the banquet.
For this meeting, Lao Wang took the weekend to buy a suit and went to Tianshan Road Street to buy a lot of street stalls. He was very glamorous when wearing it. Although he was not a suit and tie, his clothes were at least very crisp. In addition, he wore a pair of leather shoes, he was quite a bit human.
Zi Yang was also infected by him for two days. He was originally indifferent to him and was a little nervous. Although he was not as grand as Lao Wang, he was not as casual as usual. He subconsciously wore a casual sportswear. He also looked handsome.
The three met in a small restaurant in the school. Su Rui had already arrived. He waved to them from a distance. Seeing Lao Wang's deliberate outfit, cool and casual clothes, Su Rui couldn't help but smile.
Lao Wang secretly said to Zi Yang, "It's really a clothes rack. Wearing the same school uniform on your female classmates is as ugly as a spoiled woman. Wearing it on Su Rui is like a photo model."
Su Rui wore a pink round-neck T-shirt in his school uniform, which was set off with a slender and snow-white neck, and was particularly fresh and beautiful. In addition, his slender figure was indeed outstanding compared to the classmates around him.
Lao Wang swallowed and said, "Have you been here for a long time? Are you hungry? Waiter, serve the menu."
Zi Yang whispered, "Idiot, I use the meal card here, go to the counter to order food!"
Lao Wang and Zi Yang went to the dining table with a disappointment and brought back the food and drinks. He was afraid that others would not be full, so Lao Wang brought three large plates alive.
Su Rui only had a salad, a portion of fries, and a smoothie. The remaining chicken nuggets, chicken legs, fish-flavored shredded pork, lion head, big steak, pepper and salt strips... were all part of Zi Yang and Lao Wang. Zi Yang was so angry that he was trembling. Lao Wang's meal was enough to eat a bun for a month - why do you pretend to be a slap! He also used my meal card!
Su Rui bit the straw and looked at the two of them with a smile while drinking the smoothie.
Zi Yang and Su Rui nodded, as if they had received courtesy, and then they started eating on their own.
Lao Wang, who usually feels extremely vicious when he sees food, is very reserved today. Orchid pinched a piece of fries carefully and ate them bit by bit, while talking to Su Rui. "By the way, Miss Su, how did you know my brother?"
Su Rui smiled and said, "I heard from my classmates that Senior Li Ziyang is the deputy editor-in-chief of the school's poetry club and is very knowledgeable about China's cultural history, so I specially asked my senior for advice."
Zi Yang blushed when she was eating. The things she wrote were so embarrassing... She quickly ate and hide it.
Fortunately, Su Rui and Lao Wang were chatting, and no one noticed his embarrassment.
"I have lived abroad since I was a child. Although my family taught me the basics of Chinese culture and often communicated in Chinese, I still don't know much about China. When I was a child, I often heard adults talk about China's five thousand years of history, and it felt full of mystery, so I yearn for China very much."
"Hey, senior, I heard you are particularly good at poetry and lyrics?" Seeing that Zi Yang kept lying on her food and ignored others, Su Rui put his hands on the table, revealing her jade-like arms, and asked Zi Yang with his head tilted.
Zi Yang buried her head in eating, her face almost stuck to the plate, and she said vaguely: "It's all the past that a hero will not mention his courage. At that time, he was young and ignorant, and had a good manners. He wrote a few deviant poems casually. What kind of culture do I have..."
Lao Wang also said, "Yes, yes, young people nowadays have no culture. China's historical and cultural heritage has been almost ruined by future generations, and it has been broken many layers! Some things are not as good as you foreigners."
Su Rui smiled sweetly, and Lao Wang seemed to be encouraged and continued to praise him: "But in addition to 'culture', China also has 'martial arts', which you foreigners have little contact with." After wandering around for a long time, Lao Wang finally said the key point. Speaking of "martial arts", he also deliberately emphasized his tone, hoping to attract Su Rui's attention.
Sure enough, Su Rui is also an understanding person and is good at chatting. When he saw Lao Wang's expectant eyes, he cooperated with him: "Are you talking about martial arts? I often see in movies that my father asked me to practice Taekwondo for a while. However, I was stupid and felt that I was not a martial arts master, so I didn't study anymore after I got the black belt exam."
Zi Yang coughed and almost choked by the chicken nuggets - Black Belt, Damn, learning Black Belt is already considered a professional level, but she is not satisfied with herself.
I think this young lady has very high requirements for herself. If anything that cannot be outstanding is a failure, then an amateur enthusiast like me is really shameless to say that she has practiced it.
Lao Wang said disdainfully, "Taitbox Do was invented by Koreans and has only been developed for decades today. It is not considered as orthodox martial arts, and it is mostly a scheming and not practical."
Seeing that the success attracted Su Rui's attention, Lao Wang continued to show off: "China's Tan Le Hongquan, Bagua Wingchun, Tai Chi Xingyi are all real kung fu passed down from generation to generation and tempered by countless ancestors - especially Shaolin martial arts, which are authentic martial arts in the world - I have not been able to make a talent and have been trained in Shaolin kung fu for several years in the martial arts school."
Now Lao Wang was amazed at how his bones were. The teacher was shocked at the first sight. How hard he trained in the martial arts school, how strict his master was not human, how oppressed and persecuted him, how he lie on firewood and tasted gall, how he was self-improvement. After 81 difficulties, he finally became a generation of martial arts master...
Zi Yang listened to this set of words for more than a hundred times, but he could recite them himself, but Su Rui was listening to them attentively.
When Lao Wang saw Su Rui's concentration, he became more and more excited as he spoke. If it weren't for the idle tables and chairs in the restaurant, he would have rolled up his sleeves and made a double-shaped tiger and crane on the spot.
When Lao Wang was dry and drinking water to replenish his energy, Su Rui seized the time to ask Zi Yang if he could teach her some common sense in ancient Chinese, especially some classical Chinese.
Zi Yang said that you should have corresponding course research in the archaeology department.
Su Rui said embarrassedly that he had just started this industry not long ago, started late, and the courses he taught were too dogmatic and rigid, it was too difficult to learn and the process was slow. I hope he could learn some practical common sense from Zi Yang.
Zi Yang joked, "It's better to teach you how to read the books "Shan Hai Jing" and "Su Shen Ji". These two books look quite interesting, but the content is absurd and all folk allusions. There are too many superstitious things, ghosts and gods, and they are not very popular in the formal traditional teaching system."
Su Rui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, these are these things. Some Chinese historical and cultural allusions are so magical to me."
At this time, Lao Wang had replenished enough water, coughed and signaled Zi Yang to shut up, and then continued the topic of martial arts just now.
Su Rui listened to Lao Wang's nonsense with relish, Zi Yang held his cheek next to him and thought about things. How to make a low-key package request will not attract people's attention...
After dinner, Lao Wang said goodbye to Su Rui in accordance with the etiquette of the national leaders meeting with foreign guests. Seeing Su Rui's beautiful figure disappearing on the green campus road, Lao Wang turned around, rubbed his hands and said with a blushing face: "How is it? How am I doing?"
Zi Yang patted Lao Wang solemnly and said, "The meeting was very successful. Your performance was very appropriate and the foreign guests were very satisfied! This is another victory in my country's diplomatic history after the Eight-Nation Alliance!"
Lao Wang couldn't hear the logic in his words and said, "Xiao Li, I feel very stressed when I think of the burden of taking over Sino-US cultural exchanges on my shoulders!"
A few days later, Lao Wang, who was burdened with his shoulders, answered a call and was forced to go back to school to "handle" some things.
Zi Yang and Su Rui did "academic research" together every now and then. Su Rui also bought two sets of books, which were the Shanhai Jing and Soshen Ji she introduced. When Zi Yang saw that they were all luxurious hardcover versions, one set was a rare book from Yuelu Bookstore. After reading the price, she gasped and thought it was a pity. This thing was sold by pounds on the street stalls, so she actually went to the bookstore to buy the genuine version! This guy's money to buy two books is enough to eat buns by himself for a month.
There are not many learning tasks recently. Zi Yang goes to classes, plays ball, cooks, washes dishes, and surfs the Internet every day. Occasionally, Su Rui will ask him to discuss "academic issues" together. He also invites him to have a few meals, and he is happy and free, but when he calms down, he sometimes feels depressed.
Zi Yang has always been dissatisfied with his major - 90% of the students in the school are not satisfied with their major. It is said that their major has a low employment rate, and it depends more on work experience.
He is very versatile and starts contacting the unit to find a way to intern during the summer vacation.
Although Zi Yang also wanted to find a unit to practice, but first, the situation was relatively complicated, and the little black child at home was still in the stage of learning and exploring the civilization of modern human society; secondly, he felt that work was still very far away and he was a little reluctant to leave school. He seemed to leave here, his youth and dreams were gone forever, and he no longer had the courage to face the realistic and cruel world outside.
But when you think of your family situation and background, you have no hope for your future.
In this way, Zi Yang spent every day in anxiety and confusion. The only thing worthy of gratitude was probably the 3,000 yuan living expenses that were received on time at the beginning of each month!
