Chapter 80: Entering the international female student dormitory (210 please subscribe!)
The dormitory manager probably hadn't heard of the great name of the Nantian Gate God and said coldly: "Who invited you? Call him down to pick you up."
So Wei Ming reported Li Aiguo, oh, Tom White's dormitory number.
The dormitory manager made a phone call up, and soon, Li Kui rushed down like a black whirlwind.
"Hey, Ming! Come up quickly!"
Wei Ming went to the second floor and entered Li Aiguo's dormitory.
The dormitories in the international student building were all double rooms, and the space was very spacious. One international student lived there, and one accompanying student lived there. So, besides Li Aiguo, who was applying hair wax, Wei Ming also saw an accompanying student.
"Hello Wei Ming, I am Guo Xiaocong from 77 Chinese. I have heard of your name for a long time!"
"Oh, hello classmate Xiaocong." Listening to his tone, he should be from Yanjing.
Generally, accompanying students were chosen from Yanjing locals. First, the Mandarin was more standard, and second, the family conditions were better, so the contrast wouldn't be too tragic.
If Liu Zhenyun came to accompany him, his worldview would collapse. How could he eat meat every meal!
Wei Ming looked at the black, white, and yellow trio: "It won't be just the four of us, right?"
The party that was promised, what's the point of just a few men? I want to see a foreign girl with a curvy figure and closed golden hair!
Li Aiguo smiled: "Of course not. It's too small here to unfold, so let's gather at the canteen later and have fun there!"
Just as he was talking, a yellow-haired guy knocked on the door, wearing big glasses, like a golden-rimmed monkey.
He was holding a guitar and humming the world-famous song "Country Roads Take Me Home" by John Denver.
Li Aiguo introduced to Wei Ming: "This is my American fellow villager Matt, Chinese name Mao Tianci. I think it's not as good as Li Aiguo."
"Hello new friend! You can also call me A Mao." The other party greeted Wei Ming with a smile.
Li Aiguo's side was ready, so several people carried things downstairs to the canteen together. The international student canteen was in the northeast corner of Building 26.
Four girls were already waiting for them there, occupying a round table in the corner of the canteen.
Among these four people, two were Asian faces, one was a silver-haired girl, and one was a red-haired beauty, the kind that was particularly bright. There was also a recorder in front of the red-haired girl.
The foreigners who came were all from English-speaking countries. Two Asian girls were one British Chinese and one Australian Chinese. The silver-haired girl was American, and the red-haired one was British.
Wei Ming was the only unfamiliar face to the girls and was introduced emphatically.
The British Chinese girl was surprised: "You are Wei Ming? I heard about you from my roommate. Poet, writer, security guard!" Her Chinese had a distinct Cantonese accent.
"Who is your roommate?"
"Xia Xiaohong."
"Oh, we've eaten together."
"You actually know Cantonese! Are you from Guangdong? My dad is from Guangdong..." The other party asked incessantly.
"No, no, no, I know a person from Guangdong, so I know a little Cantonese."
"You are amazing and handsome. No wonder they all say you are a famous person at Peking University."
Seeing that Wei Ming was so amazing, Li Aiguo was very proud. He was his friend, so he would have a background at Peking University in the future!
At this time, the tall and fair red-haired beauty took the initiative to say: "My roommate Little Cha also mentioned you."
Little Cha was Cha Jianying. "Oh, oh, we've eaten together," Wei Ming asked her back, "What do you call yourself?"
"Li Bai."
Wei Ming immediately thought of what Li Aiguo said, that there were two Li Bais among their international students, one Big White and one Li Xiaobai.
"Then are you Big White Li or Li Xiaobai Li?" Judging from the height and curves of the other party, Big White was obviously more reasonable.
But the other party indicated that she was Li Xiaobai Li: "That Big White Li is a head shorter than me, and not as white as me."
But there was no way, this was divided by age.
This name always made Wei Ming think of a little girl he saved, so Wei Ming simply called her English name Melinda.
Seeing Melinda and others start to give gifts, Wei Ming also took out the Lu Ban lock and introduced that this was an intelligence toy passed down from ancient China. The way to play was to take it apart and put it together, repeatedly and endlessly.
"Wow, too beautiful, this is really a work of art!" Li Aiguo liked it very much, and everyone gathered around.
Melinda's eyes lit up: "Is this an antique? Is it very valuable?"
"I'm not sure about that. I bought it from a second-hand store. At that time, it was forgotten in the corner, covered with dust and the vicissitudes of time." Wei Ming described it, and several people felt it was an antique even more. However, Li Aiguo said that he would definitely not sell it and wanted to collect it permanently.
Compared with Wei Ming's gift, Guo Xiaocong suddenly felt that the *Analects* he bought was a bit shy to take out, but Li Aiguo still gave him enough emotional value.
After taking turns giving gifts, they opened the boxes they brought, which contained red wine and cola.
At the beginning of this year, the first batch of cola entered Yanjing from Hong Kong and could be bought at the Friendship Store and Overseas Chinese Store.
There were also some snacks, such as popcorn and the chocolate that Liu Zhenyun couldn't get.
Drinks and snacks were brought by themselves, and staple food had to rely on the canteen.
Wei Ming saw that there was steak to choose from, so he decisively gave up stir-fry. He had been back for more than a month, and he hadn't eaten beef. The staff and student canteen simply didn't have it.
Li Aiguo let them order whatever they wanted. Today all consumption was paid by Young Master Li, so Wei Ming didn't be polite to him.
After sitting down, Wei Ming also found some problems through observation. Li Aiguo and that Australian Chinese seemed to be playing ambiguous.
Li Kui and the silver-haired girl were very sticky, and the remaining few should be single dogs, or their partners were not here.
Although A Mao and Melinda chatted enthusiastically, Wei Ming understood that the two were exchanging part-time work experience. Not all international students were rich people. Even if China's consumption was very low, the round-trip air ticket was not cheap.
Li Aiguo could be considered an American middle-class family, but many international students were not even middle-class.
The part-time jobs these two found were basically one-on-one foreign language teaching. At this time, some people had already started planning to go abroad.
However, Melinda's opportunities were obviously fewer. After all, the United States is a lighthouse now, and American English is naturally more popular.
Guo Xiaocong had been staring at Wei Ming after sitting down.
"What's wrong?"
Guo Xiaocong: "You wrote the bull so humanely in 'Er Niu,' I thought you didn't eat beef."
Wei Ming: Louis Koo doesn't eat beef!
He smiled: "The donkey in my other novel is more humane, but donkey meat fire is my favorite."
Guo Xiaocong asked: "Then do you love Baoding donkey meat sandwich or Hejian donkey meat sandwich more?"
"I refuse to answer this kind of question that may trigger a war! My creed is love and peace."
!
"Hahaha~"
Melinda, who heard their conversation, interrupted and asked: "What is the donkey fire you are talking about? Does it have anything to do with donkey rolling?"
"Not related, not related." Wei Ming explained the principle of donkey meat fire.
Melinda asked curiously: "Is donkey meat really delicious? I haven't eaten it."
"We have an old saying in China: Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, comparing the deliciousness of donkey meat."
After listening to Wei Ming's description, Melinda secretly vowed that she must eat it once before leaving China, hopefully not expensive.
After dinner and eating the birthday cake, the party entered the next stage. Melinda started playing music, and everyone danced to the music.
This music was too familiar, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Later, when he heard the more burning "We Will Rock You," Wei Ming felt that he had also found some youthful feelings, so he danced to the melody, and the enthusiastic Melinda even danced closely with him.
As for Guo Xiaocong, although he was twisting when he heard this impassioned music, he didn't have the courage to get too close to these female international students. Even with Li Aiguo, he would keep a certain distance and report from time to time.
I really envy this guy Wei Ming. Perhaps this is what he said: Brave people enjoy the world first.
I am not brave enough yet.
More than an hour later, the party ended, the host and guests were happy, and they took photos together as a souvenir.
At this time, Wei Ming remembered something: "Who of you has foreign magazines? I want to borrow them to see and exercise my English reading ability."
There are few English originals in the library, and some have borrowing restrictions.
A Mao pointed to Melinda: "She has more there. The magazines we finish reading will eventually flow to Melinda."
"Why, are you going to sell waste paper?" Knowing that this foreigner was short of money, Wei Ming joked.
Melinda spread her hands: "My money is already very tight from buying tapes in the country, so I just read everyone's magazines."
She didn't feel embarrassed and said to Wei Ming: "You come to my dormitory, there is a whole box."
Male and female dormitories in this country can enter each other, and international students' dormitories are even more casual.
Seeing that the silver-haired female international student seemed to have the intention of staying in Li Kui's dormitory, Peking University would not care about these.
However, unexpectedly, the dormitory manager aunt stopped Wei Ming.
"Are you an international student?"
Wei Ming: "Auntie, I'll just go up and move some things, and I can come down in five minutes."
"My old man can do it three times in five minutes. Don't try that with me." The aunt was impervious to reason and even made yellow jokes with Wei Ming.
It was Melinda who was straightforward. She didn't explain, hooked Wei Ming's shoulder, and swaggered him in. The aunt couldn't say anything in the end, only hoping that Wei Ming would keep his word and come out in five minutes, and not cause any diplomatic accidents.
"Little Cha is not here?" After entering the dormitory, Wei Ming asked.
"She went home to live today, just me alone." Melinda bent over and stuck out her butt to pull the box containing magazines from under the bed.
What a good figure!
Wei Ming sincerely admired this healthy beauty.
Some of these magazines were bought at the Friendship Store, such as *Time* magazine, and some were brought back by international students from their own countries, such as *Playboy*.
Although *Playboy* is very attractive, leaving Shao Garden is a bomb that will explode at any time, so Wei Ming only picked a few *Time* magazines, including the issue with the old man on the cover in January.
"Just these few?"
Wei Ming: "I don't have much time to read magazines recently. These few are enough. I might return them to you later."
"No need to return them. Anyway, they don't want them anymore. I also have a headache about how to deal with them."
"Still have to return them. Goodbye, Melinda."
"Goodbye, Leonardo~"
When Wei Ming walked out of the girls' dormitory, the dormitory aunt looked at her watch and said contemptuously: "Humph, just three minutes~"
