Wife, be more reserved

Chapter 249 Lu Fei's Rejection

Los Angeles, located in southwestern California, is the second largest city in the United States and is often referred to as the "City of Angels."

It was past four o'clock in the morning when the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport.

After getting off the plane, in Lu Fei's eyes, Chinese became less and almost everything he saw was in English.

The surrounding crowd also all turned into foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.

Everyone spoke a language that was unfamiliar to them, and there were very few people of the yellow race mixed in.

This made Lu Fei feel for the first time how kind it would be if he could meet people from his own country abroad.

There were people at the airport who were picked up by the competition organizer, so after leaving the airport, the group took a business bus directly to the arranged hotel.

Don't think that it's all free, it's all at the school's own expense, prepaid in advance.

After getting settled in the hotel, the professor gathered everyone together, said some precautions, and then explained the schedule for tomorrow, and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest and adjust the time difference.

This is also very uncomfortable for Lu Fei.

After sleeping on the plane for so long, now I have to sleep again, which is a bit "difficult", but I still fell asleep in the self-hypnosis of counting sheep.

By the time he woke up again, it was already past 8 o'clock in the morning.

He originally wanted to call Jiang Jiang to report his safety, but he suddenly thought that it might be past twelve o'clock in the evening for BJ at this moment.

So he sent a WeChat message.

[I have arrived safely, and now I am over the jet lag. I just woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning. I am going to go downstairs to have breakfast, and then set off to familiarize myself with our competition venue. Good night! 】

Then attached a selfie picture of himself in the hotel, and Lu Fei made a "V" gesture in a silly way.

There is no way, for Lu Fei who doesn't like it very much and rarely takes pictures, he only poses in this pose.

In the past, he felt that it was a very boring behavior to send messages when there was nothing to do.

Now that he is in love, and has someone he likes and misses, he knows that if he likes someone, he will unconsciously want to share with him all the interesting or new things he watched or heard.

After sending the message, Lu Fei went downstairs to eat with another senior in the group.

As soon as he arrived at the hall, Huang Fei came over and said, "Let's eat together?"

"Ah."

Huang Fei knew that it was the first time for Lu Fei to go abroad, so in the restaurant, she introduced while walking.

"The breakfast here is generally divided into "continental breakfast" and "American breakfast", but they are all similar.

In addition to coffee or tea, butter, jam, bread and juice, there are also some boiled soybeans in the Anglo-Irish breakfast and sausages in the German breakfast.

There are also oatmeal, cereal porridge, eggs, meat and so on. "

"Sister, how do you know so much?"

Huang Fei smiled and said, "I lived in the United States for a while when I participated in summer camps in junior high school and high school, so I am quite familiar with it."

"Oh."

After Lu Fei entered Tsinghua University, one of the things he felt the most was that his classmates, friends, and everyone's family conditions were very good.

They have been in contact with people since they were born, feeling, some things and knowledge that ordinary people may not be able to touch in their lifetime.

Sometimes, Lu Fei would feel that, apart from the fact that there was not much difference in his studies, he was not as well-informed and outstanding as them anywhere.

This is the gap in vision brought about by everyone's family environment.

This is why most children from excellent families are better than those from ordinary families.

While you are still trying to figure out how to learn English words, people have already started living in the United States and can communicate with the locals in fluent English.

What Lu Fei remembers most is that at an event, he met a senior who was admitted from a small place like him.

Facing his junior, he told Lu Fei his own personal story, but he didn't want Lu Fei to follow his old path and not be slowly opened up by the people around him.

He said that when he was admitted to Tsinghua University in 17, he was very proud.

Wasn't there a popular saying at that time, it was called "no matter how difficult it is for a poor family to produce a noble son".

At that time, he thought, as a commoner in a small fifth-tier city, if he was admitted to Tsinghua University in the college entrance examination, wouldn't he be a "noble son"?
I'm quite proud of it.

So after he entered college, he wanted to prove himself. He participated in various campus activities during his freshman year.

At that time, he met a good classmate in a chorus team. The two of them liked to discuss physics, life, politics, philosophy, etc. together every day. They chatted very happily.

Later, after he got acquainted with the other party, he realized that his father was the dean of a university.

He thought at the time, wow, this is the "second generation of officials".

So he tried his best to find the difference between himself and him. After searching for a long time, he didn't find anything at that time.

The opponent's personality is mediocre, and his grades are also very average.

He thought to himself, then it seems that the second generation of officials and the second generation of riches are not far behind us.

Later, this friend he knew changed departments, and his grades got better and better.

Not only did he go to Berkeley for exchange, but he also published three top journal papers during the university.

In the end, I went to one of the four universities with the strongest physics in the world to study for a Ph.D.

But what about himself?

Also at Tsinghua University, during these four years, he still didn't know where the focus of life was.

He simply completed the homework in class, and finally followed the trend to save a research, and he didn't have any special grades.

In the past, he and this friend often played and chatted together, but later when he wanted to chat with the other party, he found that he and he had nothing in common.

Throughout the four years of his undergraduate studies, he couldn't help but think about what caused it. Although the gap between the two people was not very big, but they developed so differently in the end?
Is it because the other party is the second generation of officials?

No!

These achievements of the other party are all his own hard work, and have nothing to do with his father.

Why is that?

He summed up two reasons.

First, the planning gap.

Everyone's foundation and even IQ are similar. Under such circumstances, the influence of planning is very important.

He is the first generation of college students in his family, seniors and sisters, and he doesn't know a few. He has no idea how to spend four years in college, and can only rely on himself to explore blindly.

Although he participated in various activities in the university, such as the student union, volunteer activities, practice teams, and scientific research, in fact, he wasted a lot of trial and error time in it.

But that friend of his had a clear goal since his freshman year.

All the things that the other party has done in the four years of university are centered on this goal and are closely related. Every step is solid. After four years, the gap between the two sides will naturally widen.

The second is the gap in vision.

He passed the college entrance examination in a small fifth-tier city. In his eyes, Tsinghua University is the most powerful university in the world.

So when he was a freshman, he thought that he would go to Tsinghua University as a graduate student, a Ph.D. student.

Then he spent a year working hard to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.

As a result, he later found out that Tsinghua students did not need to take the exam, but could directly apply for graduate studies.

And his friend, not only knew from high school that Tsinghua University can guarantee research, but he also knew that guaranteeing research is not the best way out, and Tsinghua is not the most powerful university.

To his friend, Tsinghua is just a place to lay a good foundation in mathematics and science. His goal is to study for a Ph. D. and become the world's top physicist.

He must go to the most powerful physics hall to do scientific research.

Even the exchange opportunity to go to Berkeley, few people in China knew about it, but he was one of the few applicants.

The senior finally sighed: "The gap in family environment is sometimes very cruel. When you are still looking up at a high mountain, others are already overlooking the whole world from the top of the mountain."

This incident had a great impact on Lu Fei, who had just entered university.

Because he is somewhat similar to his seniors, they are all from a small place, and compared with some people around him, he has no vision.

Therefore, Lu Fei was deeply touched by the "common sense of life" that senior sister Huang Fei talked about to him.

But he is not inferior.

Because he believes that as long as he does something with his heart and achieves the ultimate, he doesn't need to care so much, think so much, and he can still achieve success.

After dinner, everyone went to the competition venue by car to have a look and get familiar with it, and the whole morning passed.

Afternoon is free at leisure.

Lu Fei didn't know the place where he was born, so he wanted to stay in the hotel and read books, but Huang Fei came to him.

"Come on, Lu Fei, go shopping with me. For the first time, I'll take you to see Los Angeles by the way."

She has lived here for a while, and she is familiar with it, and she wants to do her best to be a landlord.

After all, before coming here, Jiang Jiang found herself and asked herself to help take care of Lu Fei.

As for Lu Fei, he originally wanted to refuse. He didn't want to go shopping with other girls, but he hesitated when he thought that he had promised the captain to help take care of the senior after he came out.

Although she seems to be familiar with this place, it is a foreign country after all.

To tell her to go shopping alone without a boy around, Lu Fei was a little worried to be honest.

Because the people here, everyone can carry a gun, guns are rampant, and the law and order is not as good as in China.

In China, he often saw shooting incidents on the streets of the United States on the news from time to time.

"Okay, you go out and wait for me first, I will change my clothes."

"You are a big boy, why are you so coy, just change here, I close my eyes and don't look at it."

"." Lu Fei.

"Are you still afraid that I will take advantage of you?"

Huang Fei chuckled: "At school, when they played football, they changed their jerseys. I saw a lot of boys with bare upper body."

Lu Fei still looked at her.

"Okay, okay, I'm going out, you hurry up."

"Ah."
-
Get out of the hotel and walk down the street.

Los Angeles in the second half of December is not too cold.

In other words, the climate here is a bit like Yunnan, no matter when it is, it is not too cold.

During the day, the lowest temperature is only 9°C, and at noon, the temperature is kept at 19°C-21°C.

It was also known as "the world's top ten spring cities".

Because of his inexperience, the clothes Lu Fei brought seemed a bit thick.

Seeing this, Huang Fei took him to visit the local specialty shopping malls, and bought two new sets of clothes to change into.

She also bought a few sets herself by the way.

After shopping, Huang Fei took him to see the Avenue of Stars, and told him that many Hollywood superstars have left their names here.

She said a lot, but Lu Fei didn't know most of them, and had never heard of them, except for a few.

For example, Michael Jackson, Jason Statham, Katharine Hepburn and several other well-known names.

They also went to the Wax Museum.

There are hundreds of lifelike wax figures, and you can meet and take photos with many celebrities, such as Hollywood stars, singers, NBA stars, Marvel superheroes and US presidents.

For some reason, Lu Fei looked a little panicked.

Fortunately, it was daytime and there were many people. If he came at night, Lu Fei probably turned around and ran away.

During this period, Huang Fei kept asking Lu Fei to take pictures of her, all of them were handsome guys.

Lu Fei not only shook his head in his heart, but also didn't know how the captain would feel after seeing these photos.

Anyway, if he saw Jiang Jiang taking such an intimate group photo with another opposite sex, no matter if it was a real person or a dummy, he would feel uncomfortable and jealous.

After Huang Fei was lucky enough to finish all the handsome guys, he finally had a fun time taking pictures. Then he remembered that he wanted to take a few photos of Lu Fei with the wax figure.

Lu Fei refused at first, but after hesitating for a while, he still followed Huang Fei.

He chose a group photo of a few characters he knew, not for his own viewing, but because he wanted to go back later and share it with Jiang Jiang, so that she could also feel the atmosphere here.

For the rest of the time, Huang Fei took him to the Griffith Observatory.

There are many man-made water features, interesting restaurants, a large movie theater and many shops selling all kinds of fashion items and special souvenirs.

Lu Fei is not interested in restaurants or water features, but a small shop for special souvenirs alone.

In the process of wandering, he took a fancy to a very beautiful and very nice music box.

Lu Fei felt that Jiang Jiang would definitely like this music box.

Just as he reached out to pick it up, asked the boss the price, and was about to buy it, a friendly voice sounded beside him.

"Young man, are you also Chinese?"

Listening to Chinese, Lu Fei turned his head and looked over, only to see that the other party was a middle-aged man with glasses.

His complexion is a bit dark, probably due to the long-term exposure to the sun, and there is a woman about his age standing beside him, her charm is still there.

After looking at the two people, Lu Fei nodded and said, "Yes, I am Chinese."

"So are we."

Lu Fei asked, "Hi, what's the matter?"

"Is such that."

The middle-aged man asked embarrassingly, "My wife and I want the music box in your hand. I wonder if you can give it to us?"

"No." Lu Fei shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't want adult beauty, but that he wants to buy this music box and give it to Jiang Jiang.

Between the stranger and Jiang Jiang, he would definitely choose Jiang Jiang without hesitation.

Because she is the most important person to me.
