Lu Mingfei stood blankly in the bustling crowd at the airport, looking up at the flights taking off from time to time in the sky.
On his left and right are two huge gift boxes, which are his aunt's full love for him.
When his aunt knew that he was leaving this home, she was so excited that she packed all his luggage for him without him reminding her. She packed and packed up almost all the belongings that he had lived in that home for 6 years.
It made him feel like he was kicked out.
In the backpack on his back, there was also a pressure cooker and a rolling pin given by his aunt, because his aunt heard that the manufacturing system in the United States was not very good.
Free America, gun battles every day, life is free, death is random.
It is said that there are a lot of guns here, and if you have one, there is a risk of sudden death on the spot anytime and anywhere. Bring some equipment to Lu Mingfei so that he will not be unable to resist at all, so that she will not have trouble explaining to Lu Mingfei's parents.
.This shows that his aunt still loves him very much and has at least considered his personal safety.
Although Lu Mingfei himself didn't know what use the pressure cooker and rolling pin would be if that time came.
But when Lu Mingfei arrives at the college, he may really thank his aunt for his foresight, because the place where the most shootings have occurred in the United States is at Cassel College.
After receiving the ticket, passport and visa from the college, Lu Mingfei took a plane alone across the ocean and arrived here. Before leaving, he was worried that he would get lost.
Facts have proved that he is right. He is not familiar with the place in the United States, and he doesn't know where to go after getting off the plane.
The most outrageous thing is that Kassel College did not arrange a pick-up person to pick him up at the airport!
According to Norma's itinerary, he needs to go to the Chicago train station to take the CC1000 express train to Cassel College.
Well, their itinerary didn’t mention that anyone would pick them up at the airport, so I can’t blame them.
So Lu Mingfei now has to find his own way to the train station.
Norma was very considerate. She seemed to have expected that Lu Mingfei would get lost. In the email she sent him, there was also a copy of "Casel College Entrance Guide for Dummies", with the Lu Mingfei edition specially marked below.
The problem is that even if this is the case, Lu Mingfei can’t understand it! Norma, the most sophisticated artificial intelligence in the world, seems to be incapable of Lu Mingfei’s mobility, which is quite powerful in a sense.
Although the guidebook is all marked in Chinese, this is the United States, who will prepare Chinese road signs for him? He can't find the road, he can't find the road at all!
Lu Mingfei thought that he had passed the TOEFL test at least, and that communication with Americans would not be a big problem, but he seemed to have forgotten how much content was in his score... The reason why he passed the test at that time was entirely because of the people sitting next to him.
It happened to be Zhao Menghua.
When it came to practice, he discovered that it was so difficult to communicate with Americans, but it was quite easy to communicate with Old Tang. He finally understood that Old Tang was just accommodating him when he taught him.
Old Tang already speaks Chinese, so there is no problem communicating with him. Old Tang can also understand loose English. But how many of these Americans understand Chinese?
Just like when you take an English class, and when you actually talk to foreigners, they are completely different concepts.
Lu Mingfei tried calling people at the college to ask for support.
However, in his address book, there was only Xuan Hao's phone number in the college. When he called him, it always said, 'The other party cannot answer your call at the moment, please call again later.' He really didn't understand whether this person was really that busy.
?
Then he remembered that Chen Motong had called him before, so he called back through the call history.
I only heard a loud "bang bang bang!" sound coming from the other end of the phone.
It sounded like gunshots, the sound of crackling glass, and the sound of some people shouting, 'Charge, charge! Charge me! Press on, suppress fire!', which made Lu Mingfei think that they were playing real-life CS over there.
.
"Hello? What are you doing? If you have something to say, please tell me!" Chen Motong's somewhat irritable voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "It's okay. I'll hang up. There's a war!"
After speaking, there was another gunshot on the other end of the phone, followed by a harsh busy tone.
Lu Mingfei was completely confused. What's going on? Sister, aren't you a student? Why are you at war? This is the United States, not Syria.
He didn't know how to speak. It was outrageous for someone to take time out of his busy schedule to answer his call while he was busy fighting. How could he be embarrassed to ask for directions? If Chen Motong was accidentally shot because of him, wouldn't he be guilty?
Already.
No, this is not the point. Is the United States really such a mess? Lu Mingfei backed down, how about I buy a plane ticket and go back?
Just when he was about to leave, Xuan Hao's call came in.
"Hello? What are you calling for?"
"Um...Senior, are you in school now?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously, listening carefully to the movement on the other side. Sure enough, the noisy voice on the other side of the phone was exactly the same as when he dialed Nono's number.
Although the sound seemed much quieter, it still scared Lu Mingfei to the point of sweating profusely. There couldn't really be a war over there, right?
"Yeah, I'm at school, playing games," Xuan Hao held the phone on his shoulder, and the movements of his hands didn't stop, and the keyboard clicked as he pressed it.
"Playing games?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. These people weren't playing a shooting game, were they?
Sure enough, if he listened carefully, he could hear the crackling keyboard sound covered up by the noisy gunfire over there.
Damn, are you sick? Turning up the stereo so loudly frightened the laborers to death. Lu Mingfei twitched the corner of his mouth. Thinking about it, it is a society ruled by law now. Even in the United States, it is not necessary to just start a war.
"Ah, yes, the group of people outside were so noisy that it affected my performance." Xuanhao glanced out the window angrily. He really didn't understand, what's so fun about a game like Free Day?
I like to hide in the dormitory and play on the computer.
"Outside?" Lu Mingfei didn't quite understand what he said.
"It's nothing, it's just a bunch of brats having a little fuss. You'll understand when you get here. The university is quite energetic. This kind of thing is normal." Xuan Hao said, "You haven't said anything about the phone call yet.
?Don’t say I’m down, it will affect my operation.”
Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had misunderstood. This college sounded quite harmonious. Isn't staying in the dormitory and playing games the college life he wanted? Even some students seemed to be too energetic.
It was noisy outside. But it didn't affect him. He was used to noisy people.
Old Tang's family lived next to the railroad tracks. Every time they played the game, there would always be the sound of a train passing by the railroad tracks. This small problem was not a problem at all.
"Um, senior, I can't seem to find the way to the train station, what should I do..."
Lu Mingfei felt quite embarrassed. He had already arrived in the United States, but he was stopped on such an issue.
"Oh, it's just such a small thing," Xuan Hao thought it was a big deal, "Just stand where you are and don't move. I'll send someone to the airport to pick you up right away."
"Ah, thank you, senior!"
"It's okay. This matter is the negligence of the college. I remember that when I came to the college, there was a 'beggar' leading the way."
"A beggar?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.
"It's nothing, it's just the interests and hobbies of some classmates. There are quite a lot of weird people in the college. You will know it when you come here."
Xuan Hao said nonchalantly, "Just wait where you are and don't move."
"OK."
"Dududu——"
As soon as Lu Mingfei answered, the call was hung up. It seemed that the other party was very busy playing games.
"Oh... what is all this?" He sat on the suitcase, looking up at the sky, somewhat doubtful about life.
Lu Mingfei felt that he was too shabby, so shabby that he was out of touch with society and couldn't keep up with these people.
…
"Lu Mingfei?"
A pleasant voice brought Lu Mingfei, who was waiting there bored, back to his senses.
Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw a beautiful young girl.
This was a girl with blond hair and blue eyes. Lu Mingfei's eyes widened when he stared at her. It was not because he was fascinated by her appearance. He admitted that this girl was indeed beautiful, but this was not the focus of his attention.
What he paid attention to was the clothes the other party was wearing, a black and white maid outfit!
Lu Mingfei looked at the girl from beginning to end. Her long golden hair was tied together with white lace, and her swirling pure white skirt was outlined with black lace. She also had a black leg ring on one thigh.
, wearing small black leather shoes on her little lace-wrapped feet.
Is this cosplay? Lu Mingfei swallowed his saliva.
"It's rude for you to look at others like that."
The girl's voice sounded again. Lu Mingfei looked at the frosty expression of the girl in front of him before he realized what he was doing. He turned his eyes away in embarrassment and stopped looking at the girl's clothes.
"You are the new student, Lu Mingfei, right?"
The girl is OK again.
"Yes...yes, I am."
Lu Mingfei answered with some confusion.
He didn't understand why this girl dressed as a maid knew him. Wait, he remembered that Xuan Hao said he would send someone to pick him up, right?
"My name is Treya Hall. I am a fourth-year student at Cassel College. I am... the master who sent me here to pick you up."
The girl said through gritted teeth, as if she was not used to being called 'Master'.
This expression frightened Lu Mingfei. He thought that the girl had been offended by his impoliteness. Lu Mingfei had a lot of questions in his mind at the moment. For example, if the girl said she was in fourth grade, she should be his senior sister.
But why this strange dress? And this girl said that the 'master' sent her to pick him up?
"Um, I'm sorry." Lu Mingfei still didn't dare to ask these questions.
"No, there's no need to be sorry," the girl shook her head, "My dress is indeed very strange."
So you know! Lu Mingfei looked confused, "Then why..."
"It's hard to put it into words."
The girl shook her head.
Lu Mingfei was a little surprised that the other party was so fluent in Chinese and could even use idioms proficiently. He seemed to be quite well-educated. "Excuse me, who is the 'master' you are talking about..."
"Xuanhao." The girl gritted her teeth again, looking quite unhappy.
Of course she was unhappy. Although she agreed to be a maid to help the guy handle affairs within the academy, she underestimated the shamelessness of this person. She thought that playing a role like a secretary was enough, but who knew that she would be asked to wear
Wear such shameful clothes!
Lu Mingfei looked a little strange.
He didn't quite understand the relationship between this girl and Xuan Hao. Although he knew that the man seemed to be very rich and it wouldn't be too strange to have a maid. However, this girl was obviously also a student of the college, and she looked pretty good.
Willingly?
"That……"
"Okay, come with me."
Treya glared at Lu Mingfei and signaled him to stop asking questions that he shouldn't have. It would be bad for him to know too much.
This murderous look made Lu Mingfei tremble, but he was wise enough not to ask any more questions.
In Lu Mingfei's surprised eyes, this weak-looking girl actually lifted his suitcase with one hand.
"Don't be stunned, keep up."
"Ah, oh."
Lu Mingfei followed obediently.
He couldn't afford it, he couldn't afford it. He knew how heavy the two suitcases were.
At this moment, he admired the girl in front of him very much.
It's like when you see a girl who is as beautiful as a fairy, sitting there and looking stunning without having to do anything. Later, you find out that she can carry hundreds of kilograms of things, which instantly doubles your favorability.
Does this guy dare to move?
Under Treya's guidance, Lu Mingfei finally arrived at the Chicago train station.
"CC1000 train, CC1000 train..."
In the hall, Lu Mingfei took out the train ticket that Norma had sent him from his pocket, and while muttering to himself, he checked the departure timetable on the screen above.
"There's no need to look for it, you can't find it." Treya said calmly, "Follow me."
"What's going on? Why isn't this train on the timetable?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Because the CC1000 train is a dedicated line of the college and is only responsible for picking up and dropping off students from Kassel College." Treya explained, "And there was originally no such train today. This train is here specifically to pick you up.
"
Specifically to pick me up? Lu Mingfei was confused. Do I have such a big reputation? He followed Treya, and they didn't even have their tickets checked along the way. They went straight to the platform. There was no surprise.
People stopped them.
This made Lu Mingfei feel like he was taking the back door. Well, he originally entered this college through the back door. He didn't expect that he had to use the back door to take the train. So is this ticket still useful?
He looked at the train ticket in his hand. The dark surface of the ticket was painted with a pattern of a giant leafy tree in silver. It looked quite exquisite. It couldn't be a commemorative ticket, could it just be used as a souvenir?
The two stood quietly side by side on the platform, silent.
It should be said that there is nothing to say. Lu Mingfei is really not familiar with this girl, and looking at her, she doesn't seem to be in a very beautiful mood. He is afraid of getting into trouble. Based on his careful observation, this girl should be able to defeat her easily.
He, so he had better say less.
"What kind of academy is this?"
Lu Mingfei sighed to himself.
"When you get to the college and go through the entrance counseling, you will understand."
As if hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Treya replied.
