1363: Student Party (2 More)

Xia Xiaolan does not need three puppets.

But she needed three confident partners. Richard's psychological defense was shattered by her, and Daisy and Lyle were also shaky. Now Xia Xiaolan basically said what she said.

As she said, these three people can apply all the way to Cornell University, no one is stupid.

It's just that in a high-pressure learning environment, being held down by others and often beaten, it really damages self-confidence!

It's still acceptable to be under pressure for a while. Thinking about how a strong man like Jonathan has become a well-known architect in a big firm in a few years... Hey, hey, stop imagining, it's really heartbreaking to think about it, now that Jonathan There are girlfriends, and he and Lyle and Daisy are single!

Sure enough, if you don't get an A, can't you even find a girlfriend?

Richard said that he would follow Xia Xiaolan, and Lyle and Daisy would not object.

Xia Xiaolan didn't leave them to go to Jonathan's group, but stayed behind, saying that she would get a from Professor McCarthy with everyone. If they didn't cherish such an opportunity, they deserved to be a loser!

"But Xia, you are really good in China, aren't you?"

Not great, why did the Jonathan team invite her over?

Is it great?

Xia Xiaolan herself didn't know.

She has never participated in architectural competitions, and she has never won an award. It is hard to say how the level is assessed.

After filling the chicken soup for the soul with Richard and the three of them, it is not by shouting to get a. Xia Xiaolan stayed with them to analyze Professor McCarthy's homework this time. Every homework was like a customs clearance. It is logical to get an A in the course.

It wasn't until night that everyone packed up and went home.

Before leaving, Xia Xiaolan did not forget to poke her heart:

"Richard, you think about Professor McCarthy, isn't it worth looking forward to having him call you by your name?"

Professor McCarthy has been calling him "Charlie", "Chuck" and sometimes the redhead! No, thinking about it this way, he really wants to get a...

...

Xia Xiaolan took the road test on Saturday morning. She thought it was a sure thing and almost failed.

It wasn't because of the speed limit. Xia Xiaolan followed the instructions and was about to turn right. A pedestrian was about to cross the road. Because the distance was still far away, Xia Xiaolan ignored it. The examiner almost jumped up. The American tone was exaggerated. .

If it wasn't for her timely remedy, she would definitely have been deducted points.

In this way, the examiner also emphasized that she was not conscious enough to "give way politely".

Xia Xiaolan narrowly passed.

From today, she is a person with a driver's license.

This is also because she can take exams and drive a car. She just took the written test and soon made an appointment for the road test. Resisting the urge to go and buy a car right away, Xia Xiaolan hurried to the place agreed with Ning Xue.

The two are going to New York City by bus.

The bus is slower than self-driving. It takes 6 hours to get to New York City. It leaves at noon and arrives in the evening, and then it is just right for the party!

Xia Xiaolan was holding a big box, and Ning Xue was also carrying a smaller one.

The sweetness of the cake and the smell of grilled meat come through the box, intertwined with each other.

Both were surprised, Ning Xue hesitated:

"You really baked the cake yourself?"

Xia Xiaolan rolled her eyes first, "How is it possible, Aunt Hu baked it. I'm staying at her house now."

Hu Ying said to let Xia Xiaolan be self-reliant, seeing her bake cakes is more difficult than reading "Structural Elements", but in the end she still helped.

Ning Xue immediately calmed down: "I bought it in the store."

One took the cakes baked by others, the other took the barbecued meat from the store, and took the 6-hour bus to New York City to attend the Chinese student party. Fittingly, she slept after sleep in the car, making up for the serious lack of sleep recently.

Ning Xue slowly fell asleep.

Arriving in New York City was another toss up.

For this international student party, the organizer borrowed a nice house, which was actually in Manhattan...Xia Xiaolan thought she would go to Brooklyn to have a party.

"The law and order in Brooklyn is bad."

Xia Xiaolan carried the box, "If you can borrow a venue in Manhattan, it seems that the international student organization is quite capable."

Ning Xue glanced at Xia Xiaolan, and it seemed that she really didn't know that the state would subsidize some of the funds for this kind of gathering. Chinese students overseas do not often get together, what should we do if our sense of belonging to the motherland fades?

The house is brightly lit.

Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xue were already too late. There were people upstairs and downstairs in the house. At first glance, there were always one or two hundred.

"so many people!"

"There are those who study at public expense, there are those who study abroad at their own expense, and there may be those brought by friends..."

There are many Chinese who come to the United States to pursue the American Dream.

Different from the previous generation of immigrants who have an identity and can live a stable life in the United States, those who do not have an identity are like headless flies, and they go everywhere to find opportunities.

Of course, there were also people who came here purely to eat and drink. There were people like Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xue who didn't come empty-handed, and there were those who were too shy and came with a mouth.

There is food, wine, music, and bragging about dreams with fellow countrymen. As long as you have a thick skin, you don't have to pay for everything. How rare in the United States!

As soon as Xia Xiaolan came in, she was

to keep an eye on.

Han Jin escaped from nowhere, and took Xia Xiaolan to the middle of the house, "Senior Li, this is Xia Xiaolan who went to Cornell University. Xia is hard to make appointments. We didn't attend any of our usual gatherings, or Senior Li's appeal is great!"

Senior Li seems to be very talkative, "Welcome, Xia! After coming to the United States for a month, have you adjusted to the school life? Cornell University is a little farther from New York, thank you for coming this time!"

Han Jin didn't know if it was a soft knife or a sincere introduction.

This senior Li was very good at talking, and he blocked Han Jin back in two or three sentences. He didn't show Han Jin's face, and also found a reason for Xia Xiaolan not to attend the party.

Ithaca is so far away from New York, if you attend Han Jin's party every week, do you still need to study?

Every weekend was wasted on Han Jin, Xia Xiaolan didn't think the other party was worth her effort, and Han Jin was not Zhou Cheng!

No, no, I can't compare with Zhou Cheng, Han Jin is not as cute as Professor McCarthy.

Xia Xiaolan followed the steps given by senior Li, "Thank you senior for your understanding, I will try my best to take time to participate in international student activities in the future."

It turns out that Senior Li has been in the United States for 4 years. In China, he is very good at organizing student organizations. When he goes abroad, he slowly gathers all Chinese students from New York State. He is officially recognized for organizing parties. In the hearts of international students, Senior Li is already a person with hands and eyes.

In the corner, there was a person who was extremely envious and pushed his companion:

"This Li Yong took chicken feathers as an arrow, pryed your girlfriend, and invited you to the party, Lao Xu, can you really bear it?"
