Chapter 229 Roommate
"Billy, you want to take me to meet your family?" Su Chen didn't understand for a while, this guy's enthusiasm was too much.

One has to doubt his motives.

Billy nodded and said, "Yes, you are the first Chinese classmate I know..."

Then, he patted himself on the head again: "Damn it, I suddenly remembered that you Chinese are more reserved, it was my mistake, then let's go back to school first."

He sent the driver away.

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, this child is probably a fool.

It's too inexplicable to be so enthusiastic when we first met.

"Billy, thank you for your hospitality today. I will go back to the dormitory first. There are still many things to do." Su Chen said.

Billy thought for a while, "Then let's go back together, I'll go and see your dormitory, Su, to be honest, I suggest you live in a host family outside because the requirements of host families are very strict.

Moreover, my family is the host family of the school, and the school will conduct background checks on the host families, including investigations of no criminal behavior, and certificates of no public infectious diseases.

It is also required that the income must be at the middle level or above, have love for students, be not disgusted with China and Chinese people, etc..."

Su Chen was a little surprised: "Aren't you from Nevada?"

"Yeah, I came here to go to school, so my dad moved the family here." Billy said with pride on his face, "But we have never entertained Chinese students."

"I'll visit your family again when I have time." Su Chen said.

The kid's overzealousness made him a little uncomfortable.

Even in China, I just met, and I rarely bring others to my home as guests.

Moreover, Americans pay special attention to privacy and are very straightforward. There is nothing like the Chinese who are so oblique and euphemistic.

Billy said: "Okay then, let's go to your dormitory to check first. If there is something missing, we can buy it together. I believe you must need a guide, right? I am familiar with the surroundings."

Su Chen was a little speechless, but this kid refreshed his understanding of Americans.

But you still have to be careful in everything, and you can't be completely heart-to-heart just because of other people's enthusiasm.

Even if he is a descendant of the fighters of the Flying Tigers who aided China, it is impossible to treat Su Chen as a friend in such a short period of time.

Su Chen was just about to find an excuse when a taxi stopped in front of the two of them.

The car door was opened from the inside, and immediately after, a long leg stepped out of the car, followed by the owner of the leg out of the car.

By visual inspection, he is about 1.7 meters tall, with blue eyes and brown hair, and a bulging figure.

When he saw the woman, Billy immediately whistled, "Hi, Honey."

"Isn't this Billy the Playboy?" The woman glanced at him, then at Su Chen: "Don't pursue women now, start chasing men? Is this your new boyfriend?"

"Miranda, I warn you not to talk nonsense, this is my Chinese brother." Billy said angrily, "And I like women, why don't you try to sleep with me."

Miranda gave Billy the middle finger.

Billy shrugged and said, "Su, let me introduce you, this is my classmate Miranda, who is also from Nevada, Miranda, this is my Chinese brother Su, Miranda, do you want to develop with my Chinese brother?" , to experience the taste of transnational love."

Miranda rolled her eyes at him, then held out her hand, "Hi, hello, my name is Miranda."

Su Chen shook hands with her lightly: "China Su."

Miranda was taken aback: "Wow, your English is very good. If you didn't say you are Chinese, I wouldn't know it. Nice to meet you."

Su Chen said, "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, he let go of his hand and said, "Then I won't bother you."

"Goodbye." Miranda waved.

Just as Su Chen took two steps, Billy caught up again, winked and said, "Su, what do you think of Miranda? Do you want me to create opportunities for you?"

"..."

Does this kid have a brain?
I thought about inviting him to be a guest before, but now I'm starting a blind date again, more enthusiastic than a Chinese aunt.

Su Chen was a little speechless: "Billy, I think Miranda is quite suitable for you, why don't you pursue her?"

"Well, buddy, to be honest, she doesn't like me." Billy looked helpless: "She said I was too hardworking and just wanted to find a reliable man as a boyfriend."

Su Chen said: "Then you will be more reliable, I have to go back to the dormitory to rest first, thank you for your hospitality today."

"Then let's go together, maybe we can make it along the way." Billy continued to follow behind Su Chen.

The two walked towards the dormitory, and separated when they got downstairs.

Billy waved his hand: "It seems that we are on different paths. I will visit you another day."

Finally got rid of this guy.

Su Chen let out a long breath, and walked upstairs.

Back in the dormitory, I found that my roommate hadn't come over yet, and I didn't know they were white and black.

After lying on the bed for a while, Su Chen fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he slept, but when he woke up, he found that it was already the next morning.

And the roommate who didn't know when to come back in the dormitory has already woken up. He is also a white student. After all, the chance of being assigned to students from the same country is really very small.

In fact, before the freshmen even set foot on campus, Harvard's accommodation system has been quietly activated.

In the summer before enrolling, freshmen fill out a housing application form, which includes information about how many roommates they want, their academic characteristics and social habits, and a bunch of other personal questions to help the director of admissions arrange housing.

The dean of freshmen at Harvard College spends the summer hand-screening the applications, taking care to match students with different interests and backgrounds rather than putting students from the same background together.

This is a work of art.

If not, how would a Christian kid homeschooled in Tennessee have the chance to live with a Jewish Orthodox kid from the best public high school in New York?

What Su Chen filled in was as long as it was clean, preferably a student from the United States.

"Hi, good morning." He greeted.

Hearing the voice, the white student turned his head and said hello: "Hi, good morning, my name is Brian, I heard you are Chinese, right?"

"Yes, China Su." Su Chen's eyes fell on the book in Brian's hand, and he suddenly felt that his cognition was subverted instantly.

Because Brian actually read the original, untranslated "Quotations from ***"!
Seeing that Su Chen was a little surprised, Brian took the initiative to explain: "Actually, I am a member of the International Maoist Organization. I am one of the few people in the organization who can understand Chinese and finish reading the original "Quotations."

"Excellent!" Su Chen couldn't help but nodded.

This country is amazing, with all kinds of people and organizations.

"Su, are you interested in joining our organization?" Brian continued: "You are Chinese, I believe you can better pass on Mao's thoughts to us, and I can serve as your introducer and let you join our organization .”

Su Chen shook his head hastily: "No, I don't have any thoughts about this for now, I'll wash up first."

Brian didn't force it, and continued to read the book seriously.

After Su Chen finished washing, Brian was no longer in the dormitory.

Su Chen took some things and came down from upstairs, and when he got downstairs, he met Billy again.

"Hi, Sue." Billy greeted warmly.

Su Chen's eyes turned black instantly, why did this guy come again?

And it seems like a long time to wait.

"Billy, good morning." Su Chen nodded.

Billy greeted him: "Su, haven't you chosen your courses yet?"

Su Chen shook his head.

Billy said: "Last night, I found out something for you. We also have you Chinese students in our school who study philosophy. I heard that when choosing courses, you can only use your domestic politics courses to deal with them, so you choose courses. Always be careful."
