After putting down their luggage and touring the dormitory, a teacher of the school said that he wanted to show everyone around to familiarize themselves with the environment. The winter in England was not as cold as in China. At night, it was only five or six degrees Celsius. Luo Li took off her down jacket and sweater and put on a windbreaker and Gao Yi over her underwear. Wang Zhengguo followed the teacher out. On the street, there were about 20 to 30 people from China. Luo Li thought that the school had deliberately put the Chinese people together to study, perhaps because of the language barrier. After walking for a while, the three of them saw a small supermarket with a Chinese sign: Fleeting years.
Seeing this name, Luo Li felt that the boss should be a very cultured person. In ancient times, shops were often called shops or shops. With the word "fleeting", it had an image, as if the boss had transmigrated. Therefore, Luo Li suggested to go in and take a look. Wang Zhengguo also said that he happened to buy some daily necessities, so the three of them went in side by side. When they entered, they smelled a faint fragrance, which seemed to be the fragrance of lavender. Luo Li also thought that the boss should be an elegant person, probably a girl. The supermarket wasn't very big and only had three rows of shelves, but the decorations were quite exquisite. The ceiling was exquisitely carved, and there was a pot of elegant flowers, fallen stones, and a pot of lavender at the cashier's counter. There wasn't a single speck of dust on the counter and shelves, and a vintage clock hung on the wall. Luo Li was wondering why there was no one here when she suddenly heard a guitar solo. After listening to a few notes, Luo Li could tell that it was the prelude to Hackberry's " Those Flowers." However, the chord was in the key of #C, so it should be Fan Weiqi's version. And the person playing it was definitely a girl. This song was widely rumored to be in the key of C or G. To be able to play it directly in the key of #C without using a clamp, it could be said that the person who played the guitar was very skilled. As expected, a clear and pleasant song came, like an oriole leaving the valley. Luo Li listened carefully for a while and was brought in. She felt that there was a story in this song.
Following the song, Luo Li saw her. She was sitting on a milky white wooden bar chair, tapping on the beat with one foot. She combed her long hair and wore a fan ruffled sweater. Her jade fingers plucked the strings, and the song flowed from her fingers and lips like flowing water. Her every move had a different flavor. Luo Li thought of Bai Juyi's "Night Guzheng."”Then, he thought of Wang Wan's " Guzheng "," Resentment gathers in the hands, and spring enters the voice."
The guitar girl was still singing, playing the ending song. The last arpeggio ended the song with two strings. After that, the room became strangely quiet, without a single sound. Luo Li walked forward and stood in front of the guitar girl. She clapped three times. The guitar girl didn't say anything. She placed her hand on the guitar and lowered her head without moving. Luo Li also stood there, looking at her without moving.
After a long time, the guitar girl slowly raised her head and stroked her hair with one hand."Sorry, I was too engrossed. Thank you.”
Luo Li said,"You sang well and played well. Do you like folk songs?”
The guitar girl said," I like ballads, classics, punk, and pop a little. Are you here to buy something?"”
Luo Li said," Yes, I came with my friends. We are freshmen from Manchester University. My name is Luo Li. Those two are my friends."
Guitar girl: "Oh, right, there are a lot of new students coming over these two days. School is starting soon. Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Zilan, and I'm from Beijing. I run this shop. It's all food for Chinese people. You can come and visit more in the future.”
Luo Li said," Nice to meet you. We'll be there. You're so young, so you should be a student. How would you have the time to run a shop?"”、
Lin Zilan said," Yes, I'm a student. I'm going to be in my second year. This shop is owned by my father. After she bought it for me, I'll run it myself. Studying in the UK is different from studying in China. I have a lot of free time here. I only attend a few classes every day. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I can still earn some pocket money."
Luo Li said,"Pretty good. Hey, I'm just curious. Do you know how to write songs?"”
Lin Zilan smiled." I've written some, but I'm not good at writing lyrics. Why?"”
Luo Li said,"What a coincidence. I often write lyrics but I'm not good at composing music. We can work together when we have time."
Lin Zilan said," Is that so? Then let's add each other on WeChat. You can add me. My WeChat number is…"
As they were talking, Wang Zhengguo came over with a basket full of things and shouted,"Where's the boss? Check out!"
Luo Li walked over to take a look and said,"What did you buy? So many things?"”
Wang Zhengguo said," Aiya, daily necessities, shower gel, shampoo, snacks, cigarettes, and so on." As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and whispered into Luo Li's ear,""You're chatting quite well. Do you want to chase after her?"
Luo Li pounded Wang Zhengguo heavily."Don't talk nonsense. Go buy your things."
After paying the bill, the three of them walked out of the supermarket. Gao Yi took a deep breath and said,"The air here is really good. In Hong Kong, it's really good!”
"Is the air in Hong Kong bad?" Luo Li asked.”
Gao Yi said,"If it was good, I would have returned to Hong Kong long ago."
The three of them didn't walk far. Luo Li turned around and looked at Nian Si, as if she still wanted more.
Wang Zhengguo looked at Luo Li and said,"What are you looking at? If you want to soak her, then do it!"”
"You don't understand. This is called appreciation.""Her name is Violet, also known as Violet. There's a legend about Violet. The goddess of love, Venus, left tears on the ground when her lover was on a long journey. The next year, Violet grew. Venus was in charge of love and beauty. She was indeed quite beautiful, or rather elegant, but he did not know if he dared to love her.”
Wang Zhengguo yawned at Gao Yi.
"Go to hell! Why is my speech so boring?" Luo Li cursed.”
"To be honest, you'll have to spend a lot of money if you want to woo this girl."”
"Where does this come from?" asked Luo Li.，It's just a small supermarket."
"Did you see the sweater she was wearing?" Wang Zhengguo asked. Do you know what card it is?"
"It's just an ordinary sweater shop. My mom has plenty of them," said Luo Li.
Wang Zhengguo smiled and raised his eyebrows," That sweater is Burberry's latest design this year. It costs more than 10,000 yuan per piece in China."
"So expensive? How do you know?"”
"My sister always asks me to go shopping with her. I'm familiar with all the brands."
Luo Li licked her lips and sighed, not saying anything.
Gao Yi patted Luo Li's shoulder and said," What's there to be afraid of? Use your emotions and reason to convince her. Use your charisma to conquer her."
Luo Li pulled Gao Yi's hand away and said," You've misunderstood. I just admire her, like I admire a celebrity."
Gao Yi raised his head and said,"Sure, if you don't want me to go with Brother Zhengguo, then I'll go after him." Then, he turned around and walked back.
Luo Li didn't say anything at first. After waiting for three seconds, she turned around and the two of them were really walking back. Luo Li panicked and quickly chased after them."Come back quickly. Don't ruin her!”
"Then are you going to chase after her?" Wang Zhengguo asked. If he didn't chase after this flower, he would be stuck on top of the golden cow dung.
Luo Li rubbed her hands and looked at the sky. The sky was full of stars and she suddenly thought of a song,"The Brigest Star in the Night Sky."Luo Li smiled confidently and said,"No, girls who can sing are all good girls. They all have a transparent heart."”
Zheng Guo came over and hugged Luo Li."D * mn, brother, are you stupid? Also, how are you going to woo a girl with your cultured manner?!"”
After a moment of silence, Wang Zhengguo turned to Luo Li, who was looking up at the stars, and said,"Forget it, I was just joking with you."
After saying that, Wang Zhengguo looked at the street and saw that most of the troops had left. He said,"What are we going to do now?"
Gao Yi said,"Let's find a restaurant. I'm quite hungry."
The three of them just wandered around. There were basically no cars on the street, and most of the people came out on foot. There were many bars on both sides of the street. Outside the bars stood some glamorous women in heavy makeup. Some of them were holding cigarettes and flirting with the men beside them. Some were waving at the passersby and smiling at the door.
Luo Li glanced at him, but she still looked up at the stars. At this moment, a woman in a miniskirt walked over to the three of them. She looked to be in her late twenties. Before she even reached them, she could already smell the thick perfume on her body, which was seducing her hormones. The woman came up to him, took a puff of her cigarette, and slowly spat it out."Hey young man, do you want to do something exciting? Luo Li threw out a 'no' and walked straight ahead. She heard Wang Zhengguo say in poor English," After that, the woman pulled Wang Zhengguo into the bar. Gao Yi followed Luo Li and asked,"" Zhengguo was dragged in," Luo Li said,""Ignore him, let's continue shopping."
The two of them walked along the road and passed a fork in the road before reaching a shopping street. There were various shops on both sides of the street, including an Apple store, a coffee shop, and an Ms store that sold clothes.
After passing the shopping street and making a few turns, the two of them saw a tall and gorgeous wooden arch in the style of the Celestial Dynasty. There were carved beams and painted buildings on it, and in the middle of the archway, there were three gilded characters: Celestial Dynasty City. Gao Yi said," This must be Manchester City's Celestial City. It's said to be the largest Celestial City in the whole of England. Let's go in and take a look and have some dinner while we're at it." The two of them walked in. There were many Chinese restaurants, Chinese shops, and KTVs run by Chinese people. Luo Li was in a good mood. She thought that she would have to eat hamburgers and fries every day for the next three years. Now, it was just like in China. Speaking of Celestial City, the people of Celestial City should be proud. In any country around the world, Celestial City could be found, which meant that many Celestial people would buy a large piece of land together and build various Celestial supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment venues. However, there would never be an American City or a Japanese City. There was only Celestial City.
The two of them entered a restaurant called Lai Fu Sichuan Restaurant. The restaurant was not small, with about 20 tables. When they entered the restaurant, they were greeted with an antique style. It could be seen that every corner had been carefully decorated, and the environment was quite good. The two of them ordered duck blood curd, spicy chicken, egg and tomato soup. As they ate, they chatted with the waiter. The waiter introduced himself as a Cantonese who came here to work and had already immigrated. It was said that this restaurant had been open for decades and was one of the first Chinese restaurants in the UK. It was founded by the boss's grandfather and was now taken over by the boss. The waiter also introduced the takeout service in the shop and gave Luo Li a takeout flyer.
Luo Li ate and drank her drink. The duck blood curd was really spicy, so spicy that Luo Li had snot and tears in her eyes. Gao Yi, on the other hand, didn't care at all and just said that it was refreshing.
On the way back to the dormitory, Luo Li felt a sense of isolation as she breathed in the cold air. Although she had Gao Yi and Wang Zhengguo as her friends, as well as Lin Zilan whom she had just met, the people on the street were all fair-skinned, with high noses. The shops were all in English, and the buildings were all European. Luo Li was not in the mood to appreciate them. She only felt a strange sense of repulsion.
