African Nationhood

August in Hanking (Pretoria) is refreshing and pleasant.

Because it is winter and the temperature is low, people tend to wear thicker single clothes when traveling.

As the sun set, a tall mixed-race young man with a European appearance and Chinese features was riding a bicycle through the wide streets.

The jacaranda trees on both sides of the road are lush and green. If the jacarandas bloom together in October, the entire capital of Han Dynasty will be immersed in a sea of ​​purple flowers, and the atmosphere for young lovers to date will be even better.

Yes, this mixed-race young man went out on a date with a girl today.

The place he agreed on was the Huanlong Cinema on Church Street. The time was 6:30, and now it was already 6:.

So he had to pedal a little faster. It was not good to be late for the first date.

……

The mixed-race young man was Shi Zhao, who had just returned from the United States. As soon as he returned to Hanking, his mother told him that his father had arranged a marriage for him.

The woman is the youngest daughter of Uncle Ouyang's family. He is somewhat resistant to this, but his mother tells him that no matter how much he resists, he should not disobey his father's wishes.

As a child of the Shi family, you should take responsibility for the Shi family and the South China Kingdom.

Uncle Ouyang is an important minister of the country. Your union with his daughter is not only a guarantee for your future, but also a contribution to the country.

Isn't your eldest brother married to Uncle Ding's daughter? The relationship between the two of them has always been very good. This is the example you should follow.

Shi Zhao reluctantly accepted, so his mother handed him two movie tickets and asked him to go on a date with the girl.

Today he was doing experiments in the laboratory and was so involved that he forgot about time.

If his mother hadn't called to urge him, he would have missed the appointment.

……

As the bicycle accelerated, Huanlong Cinema was already in sight, and Shi Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

When he came to the parking lot outside the cinema and put his bicycle away, he looked at his watch: 6:28, 2 minutes left!

Looking at the men and women queuing up to hold hands outside the cinema, Shi Zhao's heart palpitated.

Shi Zhao is 20 years old this year. The reason why he never fell in love while studying in the United States was because his grandmother was very careful.

Grandma got her mother's advice and didn't let him have free contact with girls.

Therefore, his relationship experience over the years has always been blank, but he still has a target he likes, but the person sent by his grandmother to protect him is always by his side. As a result, until the end of his study abroad, he has never said a complete sentence to the girl he likes. if.

Now he was asked to date a girl he had never met before, and he was both looking forward to it and a little worried.

The watch on his hand had already read half past six, and the girl he was waiting for had not yet arrived.

Shi Zhao couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Wouldn't the other party forget about the date like him?

……

Just as he was looking anxiously, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder from behind.

Shi Zhao turned around and saw a tall girl.

He was 185cm tall, but the girl in front of him was only half a head shorter than him. He estimated that the girl was at least 168cm tall.

"Shi Zhao?"

Hearing the girl clearly call his name, Shi Zhao confirmed that the other party was his date.

Only then did he have time to look at the girl in front of him. This girl's figure was not plump, far less plump and hot than his mother's.

But her skin is fair and delicate, and her face is rosy and her facial features are three-dimensional.

The big eyes with double eyelids are much prettier than Uncle Ouyang’s small eyes.

The tall and slender girl wore a red sweatshirt with a high ponytail, a pair of blue straight-leg pants and white flat leather shoes that are now popular.

These clothes are the clothes that Alice's mother's Chanel clothing has been vigorously promoted in Nanhua, and they are very popular among young men and women in Nanhua.

Many students will change into such clothes after school, which makes them feel refreshed and casual.

……

Shi Zhao was very satisfied with the girl's appearance. He smiled and nodded, "Well, hello Ouyang Keying, I am your brother Shi Zhao."

The girl smiled and said, "Brother, you are Shi Zhao."

Shi Zhao got to know the girl's cheerful personality. He smiled and extended his hand and said, "Okay, we will call each other by our names from now on."

The girl didn't hold his hand at all and went in alone. Shi Zhao smiled bitterly and followed.

……

Huanlong Cinema is an entertainment venue that has been open for a long time. It is said to be an enterprise run by the Hanking Municipal Government.

Movies have long been stale. Ever since they were introduced to Nanhua in 1897, people have grown tired of the novelty and stopped caring about them.

Therefore, the performance of this cinema has always been poor, but this year it is very different. Because a movie with a novel format and a very happy plot appeared, this movie aroused public enthusiasm as soon as it was released.

Wave after wave of people’s non-stop recommendations and promotions have made more people aware of the new movie.

According to people who have seen it, this movie is very good to watch, especially the music in the movie that I never tire of listening to.

……

"Do you know who wrote the script for the movie we're about to watch?"

Shi Zhao secretly laughed, he naturally knew who wrote the script.

However, in order to cooperate with the other party, he still pretended to be ignorant, "I don't know."

"Wow, you are so fake. Is it so difficult to pretend to be fake?"

"You are very smart, how do you know I am pretending?"

The girl didn't answer, but stopped and pointed at the cinema sales shelves without saying anything.

Shi Zhao nodded and walked over to ask for two bottles of Coke and some melon seeds and peanuts. When he paid, he immediately panicked.

Too bad I didn’t bring my wallet!

He first said sorry to the salesperson, and then looked helplessly at the tall girl behind him.

"what happened?"

"I forgot my wallet."

"Oh, you're such a sloppy guy."

After saying that, the girl took out the money from her sweater pocket, paid the bill, and then the two of them took their things and entered the cinema.

The movie hasn't started yet, and everyone around is talking and laughing.

The two of them sat in their seats, not knowing what to say.

Shi Zhao observed the surroundings for a while, then looked at the girl drinking Coke, "You haven't answered my question yet?"

The girl put down the Coke bottle and stuck out her tongue at him, "Fool, I just lied to you. Who knew you were so honest."

When a girl called him stupid, Shi Zhao didn't get angry. Instead, he found the girl cute.

"Have you seen this movie?"

"Are you really stupid? If I had seen it before, would you still come here?"

Shi Zhao couldn't help but laugh. He really asked another stupid question, "Okay, I was wrong."

When the girl saw that Shi Zhao was silent, she couldn't help but laugh again.

"I heard from my mother that you are a graduate of a university in the United States. What did you study in university?"

"Oh, I majored in physics. My father thought I was talented in physics and chemistry, so he let me study physics.

He said that he could try to study atomic nuclei in the future, which would be a very promising major. "

After hearing Shi Zhao talk about Chairman Shi, the girl became interested.

"What does the Chairman look like at home? I heard from my mother that the Chairman is a very smart and artistic person. What does he usually look like when he is with you?"

Hearing this, Shi Zhao couldn't help but recall the time he was with his father. He scratched his head, "In my memory, I only have memories of being with my father when I was a child.

At that time, he would either play checkers with us, or recite poems together, or he would leave us alone when we were crying and let no one care.

When we were tired of crying, he would call us over.

Asked if we had enough trouble, if not he could continue to wait.

At that time, I thought my father was strong and ruthless, but he was always obedient to his sisters and gave all good things to them first.

My brother and I envied our sisters when we were young. Sometimes our mother couldn't stand it and wanted our father to be nicer to us, but our father's serious eyes scared her away.

When I got older, he became busier, and I had to be watched by my mother doing exercises every day. "

Ouyang Keying didn't expect Chairman Shi to be such a person. She smiled and said, "Did I ask about your sad past?"

Shi Zhao shook his head, "Everything has passed. I have experienced more things outside. After experiencing many setbacks, I realized that my father was right.

He has instilled in us the concept since childhood that the world is not what we want it to be. We must learn to be rational and restrained, otherwise we will suffer more blows and disappointments. "

Ouyang Keying saw the other party's serious look and couldn't help but hit him and said, "Hey, you are so boring. We are dating. Why are you acting like you are giving lessons to the teacher?"

Shi Zhao laughed dumbly. He really couldn't understand where this girl came from.

"Ding~~
The movie will start soon. Please watch the movie in a civilized manner and do not act in a way that affects others' viewing. Thank you for your cooperation! "

"The movie has started." (End of chapter)
