After arriving in the United States, Wen Xiaohui discovered that his improvised English was of no use at all. He should not be able to understand it.
There are no difficulties in life. The training institution has prepared a place for him to live, and arranged for Chinese people to familiarize him with the environment and buy daily necessities for him.
A few days later, when the novelty of being abroad wore off, Wen Xiaohui began to miss home and feel bored. He was surrounded by a strange environment, strange people, and he didn't understand the language. He didn't even dare to leave the house, and class hadn't started yet.
When I was a kid, I would stay in the dormitory every day playing games and reading novels. When the time came, I would call China and chat with Luo Rui for an hour. I was tired of Luo Rui's chatter.
After starting the class, life became a little more interesting. There were not many Chinese people in the class, and there were people from all countries and skin colors. Although Wen Xiaohui was poor in English, he was outgoing and cheeky, and he could make friends with others even by gesticulating.
, I can go out drinking and dancing within a week.
This styling training institution is one of the best in the United States and is also quite famous internationally. Wen Xiaohui was exposed to very advanced beauty, makeup, and styling concepts. In addition to the regular courses he had to learn, the courses also included nutrition classes and tailoring classes.
, medical beauty courses, luxury goods management, etc., and even art appreciation, appreciation of clothing of various ethnic groups around the world, history of Western art, etc. It feels to Wen Xiaohui that it is to first forge the macro aesthetics of a stylist, and then teach you how to dress from head to toe.
Change a person.
Wen Xiaohui has been a bad student since he was a child, but he has one advantage, that is, he is very willing to work hard on things that interest him. If he doesn't understand something in class, he will ask his classmates to copy their notes and spend the whole night looking up the dictionary.
After two months of perseverance in taking notes and reading, he did not fall behind. On the contrary, his English improved greatly and he was gradually able to keep up with the teacher's speaking speed.
After getting busy with classes, he naturally had less time to call back. After half a year, he found that the person he contacted most frequently was Luo Yi.
Luo Yi cared about every detail of his affairs, including what classes he took, where he went on weekends, what friends he made, and even whether he had any contact with Li Shuo.
So much so that when Wen Xiaohui found out, they all told Luo Yi without knowing it.
There were indeed many people around Wen Xiaohui who showed goodwill and hooked up with each other. He was a little tempted at first. After all, just looking at the big muscles of the Caucasian made him squirm, but at every critical moment, he would shrink back.
Yes, sometimes he looks down on himself. He is obviously very lustful, but he has no guts. Maybe he still has some traditional concepts in his heart. If he doesn't have feelings, it would be a bit awkward to do that.
He kept in touch with Li Shuo two to three times a month, and occasionally said ambiguous words, but that was all. Li Shuo seemed to be very busy with work. He mentioned going to the United States several times, but in the end he never made the trip.
Wen Xiaohui no longer had any expectations.
It's winter in a blink of an eye.
This year's Lunar New Year fell very early, only half a month before the Christmas holiday, so Li Shuo returned to the United States after settling down at work.
During Christmas, the school was also on holiday. The Christmas hairstyle and makeup designed by Wen Xiaohui won a small school-level award, plus a bonus of 800 US dollars. He and a Chinese female classmate took advantage of the discount period to buy a bunch of things. Originally,
Still wanting to go to Vegas, Wen Xiaohui weighed his pockets and gave up.
Wen Xiaohui spent Christmas Eve with his classmates. While preparing dinner, a French classmate called him: "Adrian, someone is looking for you."
Wen Xiaohui thought to himself, who else is looking for him at this time? People he knows who are not going home are gathering here for dinner.
When I went out, I saw a kind-hearted middle-aged man wearing a suit and white gloves. He should be Chinese.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said in plain Chinese: "Hello, are you Mr. Wen?"
"Ah, yes, who are you?"
"I'm Lambert's driver."
"Huh? Who?"
"Oh, Li Shuo."
"oh oh."
"My young master is spending Christmas with his family and cannot come in person, but he asked me to give you this Christmas gift." The driver took out a gift box from the back seat and handed it to Wen Xiaohui, "Wish you a Christmas
hapiness."
Wen Xiaohu looked at the thing in his hand: "What is this?"
"I'm not sure. You can open it and take a look when you get back home. You're wearing very thin clothes. Come on in." The driver smiled gently.
"Okay, sorry for the trouble, Merry Christmas."
The driver smiled and nodded.
Wen Xiaohui returned to the room with the gift box, and his classmates gathered around him: "Wow, is this a Christmas gift? What is it?"
"I don't know." Wen Xiaohui rubbed his hands and opened the gift box with anticipation.
It's the latest model of kpro.
"Oh, a pink heart-shaped greeting card!" A Spanish classmate quickly picked it up, opened it, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Give me the beautiful, cute and sexy Adrian, although I would rather have it delivered to my door.
, so that as soon as you open the gift box, you can see me with an erection."
The crowd roared with laughter.
"Damn, do you know Chinese?" Wen Xiaohui almost burst out of laughter. He grabbed the greeting card and took a look. Li Shuo wrote in neat and elegant handwriting: "Merry Christmas, let's get together on another day."
Wen Xiaohui felt that his whole heart was warm.
He remembered that he had inadvertently complained to Li Shuo that his broken notebook could not carry large documents. Once when he was making design drawings, the computer crashed and all the manuscripts were destroyed. He was so angry that he went crazy. So Li Shuo gave him a
A computer.
Li Shuo's attentiveness and gentleness made him feel warm in this foreign winter.
The classmates were all envious and gossiped around him, asking him who gave it to him and whether he was his boyfriend.
In a moment of vanity, Wen Xiaohui pulled out Li Shuo's photo and showed it to them, which caused countless screams. Straight men were very rare in this school, and a group of gays were particularly unruly in their jokes, and some of their jokes were even a little bit offensive.
-Liu, Wen Xiaohui half really didn't understand, and half pretended not to understand. He didn't dare to respond to them, otherwise it would be even worse.
The turkey that night was particularly unpalatable, and the wine was not good to drink, but Wen Xiaohui still drank too much, and he was so happy that he felt a little carried away.
After the midnight bell rang, it was a new year for the United States. Wen Xiaohui couldn't stand it anymore, so he hid in his room and called Li Shuo.
"Hello, Xiaohui." Li Shuo's elegant and pleasant voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Brother Li, haha." Wen Xiaohui couldn't help laughing.
"Are you drunk?"
"Well, it's okay. I'm in the dormitory. If I drink too much, I'll go to bed."
"How many classmates do you share a room with?"
"Five, but sometimes they bring their boyfriends back. Fortunately, they have private rooms."
"Then you should stop drinking now. There are gay people in the house. Drinking too much can cause trouble. This is very common in the United States. If you don't like that, then stay sober."
Wen Xiaohui suddenly sobered up after hearing what he said: "Oh, you're right." He just saw two male classmates who usually didn't talk much kissing each other under the influence of wine.
"If someone wants to do something, remember to say no sternly."
"Don't worry, I'm not that drunk yet."
"I'm still a little worried. Do you want me to come over?"
"No, you live in Manhattan, it's too far to come here. By the way, thank you for the gift. I just complained casually last time, but I didn't expect you to remember it."
Li Shuo smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just can help you. Are you sure you don't need me to go there?"
"No, I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."
Li Shuo was silent for a moment, and then said with a low smile: "You look very seductive when you are drunk. I'm a little worried about letting others see you."
Wen Xiaohui felt that the skin on his face was getting hotter. Thinking about Li Shuo's current expression and eyes, he felt his heart beat faster: "You...said to meet on a different day, when was it?"
"In three days, I want to spend time with my parents and deal with some things."
"Okay, I'm on vacation until the end of the year. Do you also celebrate the Spring Festival in the United States?"
"You should spend time here. Anyway, the country will have a holiday soon. Seeing that you are used to the life here, I feel more relieved."
"It's been half a year, I'm used to it anyway." Wen Xiaohui gently picked at the wool on the carpet with his nails, feeling like a little claw was scratching in his heart. He really wanted to see Li Shuo now, but it was a pity that it was not the right time.
The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone. Wen Xiaohui stayed in an unoccupied room. The door panel blocked most of the sound of the party outside. Although it was still noisy and broke into his ears, he still felt something.
Lonely.
His phone rang again. He picked it up and saw that it was Luo Yi. He pressed the call button without hesitation for almost a second: "Hello, Luo Yi."
"Brother Xiaohui, you've been drinking"
"Well, I'm spending Christmas with my classmates. I had a drink." Luo Yi was very quiet on the other end. Wen Xiaohui could even picture a picture in his mind. Luo Yi was sitting on the bed, with his long legs bent and holding the phone.
The huge room is filled with all kinds of strange and weird things, but even if it is so full, it still makes people feel a strong sense of loneliness.
"Although it's not the Chinese New Year yet, I don't know why, but I miss you so much today."
"I miss you too. Although it's very lively outside, the more lively it is, the more I miss home. I have to listen carefully to every word they say, otherwise I won't understand sometimes, but I'm tired.
"
Luo Yi smiled and said: "When your one-year training is over, your English will definitely improve a lot."
"I have made great progress now." Wen Xiaohui said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have caught up now. What about you, is there anything new in school?"
"It doesn't matter. Oh, I've almost completed the credits for my junior year. I should be able to get my diploma a year and a half early, so I'll have time to study for a double major."
"Ah, why didn't you tell me?"
Luo Yi smiled: "I really wanted to say it, please forget it."
