But she needs three confident partners. Richard's psychological defense was shattered by her, and Daisy and Lyle were also on the verge of collapse. Now Xia Xiaolan basically does what she says.
As she said, no one of these three is an idiot for applying to Cornell University all the way.
It's just that in a high-pressure learning environment, being suppressed by others and being hit frequently is really detrimental to self-confidence!
It's acceptable to be suppressed for a while. After thinking about it for a few years, a strong man like Jonathan has become a well-known architect in a big firm Hey, stop imagining, it's really heartbreaking to think about it. Now Jonathan There is a girlfriend, and he and Lyle and Daisy are single!
Sure enough, if you don't get an A, you can't 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 behind to go to Jonathan's group, but stayed behind, saying that she would get an A from Professor McCarthy with everyone. If they didn't cherish this opportunity, they deserved to be losers!
"But Xia, are you really good in Huaguo?"
Not bad, why did the Jonathan team invite her over.
Is it powerful?
Xia Xiaolan herself didn't know either.
She has never participated in an architectural competition, nor has she won an award. It is hard to say how to judge her level.
After pouring the chicken soup for Richard and the three of them, getting an A is not just relying on mouth. Xia Xiaolan stayed with them to analyze Professor McCarthy's homework this time. It's a matter of course to get an A in the course.
It wasn't until evening that everyone packed up their things and went home.
Before leaving, Xia Xiaolan did not forget to pierce her heart:
"Richard, think about Professor McCarthy, isn't it worth looking forward to letting him call your name correctly?"
Professor McCarthy has always been called "Charlie", "Chuck" alternately, and sometimes called him red-haired boy! No, think about it this way, he really wants to get an a
Xia Xiaolan took the road test on Saturday morning. She thought it was a sure thing, so she almost failed.
It wasn't because of the speed limit. Xia Xiaolan followed the instruction and prepared to turn right. A pedestrian prepared to cross the road. Because the distance was still relatively long, Xia Xiaolan ignored it. The examiner almost jumped up. The American's tone was exaggerated. .
If she hadn't made the remedy in time, she would definitely have been deducted points.
In this way, the examiner also emphasized that she did not have enough awareness of "being polite and giving way".
Xia Xiaolan narrowly passed.
From today, she has a driver's license.
This is also because she can take exams and drive. She just passed the written test and soon made an appointment for the road test. Resisting the urge to go see a car and buy a car right away, Xia Xiaolan hurried to the place she had agreed with Ning Xue.
The two are going to New York City by bus.
The bus is slower than a self-driving car. It takes 6 hours to get to New York City. It departs at noon and arrives in the evening, and it is just right for the party to be held!
Xia Xiaolan was holding a large box in her hand, and Ning Xue was also carrying a smaller one.
The sweetness of the cake and the smell of the barbecue came out through the box and intertwined with each other.
Both of them were surprised, Ning Xue hesitated:
"Did you really bake your own cake?"
Xia Xiaolan rolled her eyes first, "How is it possible, Aunt Hu baked it, and I'm staying at her house now."
Hu Ying said to let Xia Xiaolan be self-reliant, seeing how difficult it is for her to bake cakes is more difficult than reading "Structural Elements", but in the end she helped.
Ning Xue was very calm immediately: "I bought it in the store."
One brought a cake baked by someone else, and the other brought a barbecue bought in the store, and took a 6-hour bus ride to New York City to attend the Huaguo International Student Party. If it fits, she slept in the car and slept again and again, making up for the sleep she had been seriously lacking recently.
Ning Xue also fell asleep slowly.
Arriving in New York City was another toss.
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 hold the party.
"The law and order in Brooklyn is not good."
Xia Xiaolan carried the box, "Being able to borrow a venue in Manhattan, it seems that the international student organization is quite capable."
Ning Xue took a look at Xia Xiaolan. It seems that she really doesn't know that the state will subsidize this kind of gathering.?? Divide the funds. Overseas Chinese students don't get together often, what should we do if our sense of belonging to the motherland is weakened?
The house was brightly lit.
Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xue are already late, there are people everywhere in the house upstairs and downstairs, at first glance, there are always one or two hundred people.
"so many people!"
"There are those who study abroad at public expense, some who study abroad at their own expense, and some who were brought by friends"
There are many Chinese people who come to the United States to pursue the American dream.
Unlike the previous generation of immigrants who had an identity and could live a stable life in the United States, those who did not have an identity ran around like headless chickens, looking for opportunities everywhere.
Of course, there were also people who came purely to eat and drink, some came with nothing empty-handed like Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xue, and some were shy and came with a mouth.
There is food, wine, music, and you can brag and talk about your dreams with your compatriots. As long as you have a thick skin, you don¡¯t need to pay for everything, which is so rare in the United States!
As soon as Xia Xiaolan came in, she was followed by someone.
Han Jin came out 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 very difficult to get an appointment. Senior Li has great appeal!"
Senior Li seemed easy to talk to, "Welcome, student Xia! Have you adapted to school life after coming to the United States for a month? Cornell University is a bit far from New York. Thank you for coming this time!"
Han Jin didn't know whether to stab softly or introduce sincerely.
This senior Li is quite easy to talk to, and he blocked Han Jin's side in two or three sentences, without saving 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, why don't you study?
Every weekend is wasted on Han Jin, Xia Xiaolan doesn't think the other party is worth her effort, and Han Jin is not Zhou Cheng!
No, no, no, Zhou Cheng cannot be compared. Han Jin is not as cute as Professor McCarthy.
Xia Xiaolan walked down the steps given by senior Li, "Thank you senior for your understanding, I will try my best to take part in foreign student activities in the future."
It turns out that Senior Li has been in the United States for 4 years. He is very good at organizing student organizations in China. When he goes abroad, he slowly gathers all the Chinese students from New York State. In the minds of foreign students, Senior Li is already a figure with all-hands and eyes.
In the corner, there was a person who was extremely envious and pushed his companion:
"This Li Yong took a chicken feather as an arrow, pried your girlfriend, and even invited you to the party. Old Xu, can you really bear it?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
